IL TESTO POETICO NELL’INSEGNAMENTO DELL’ITALIANO A STRANIERI
Creators: name: Delucchi, Fabio
Publisher: name: Italiano LinguaDue
Year: 2012

description: L’articolo tratta un tema tanto delicato quanto spesso eluso dai docenti di Italiano L2 o LS, quello dell’uso del testo poetico a fini didattici. Dopo una trattazione teorica e critica del tema, in cui vengono brevemente illustrate le posizioni emerse nei principali studi sull’inserimento e la fruizione dei testi letterari nell’insegnamento di italiano a stranieri, seguono una proposta pratica di modalità di selezione dei testi ed esempi di possibili applicazioni didattiche e di diverse tipologie di attività. Un ruolo fondamentale è riconosciuto alla “motivazione”, al “piacere del testo”, ai criteri in base ai quali selezionare i testi letterari, e in particolare i testi poetici, in relazione ai destinatari e alla “utilità” del testo poetico quale opportunità di sperimentazione linguistica, confronto interculturale e crescita, ma soprattutto veicolo di una migliore integrazione sociale anche per immigrati o studenti di italiano L2. L’apprendente viene visto nel suo ruolo “attivo” e la poesia sfruttata come occasione di spunto e integrazione alle tradizionali pratiche didattiche. In particolare, viene proposta una sistematica integrazione tra testo, suono e immagini per motivare e accrescere la consapevolezza critica dell’apprendente rispetto alla lingua e al “mondo”e tra confronto interculturale e ironia quali approcci privilegiati al testo poetici.POETRY IN ITALIAN L2/FL TEACHINGThis article addresses the often overlooked theme of the use of poetry by Italian L2/FL teachers. After a survey of the theoretical and critical literature on the subject that illustrates the existing research on the inclusion and use of literary texts in Italian L2 teaching, a practical proposal for text selection, examples of possible didactic applications and different activities are illustrated. Motivation plays a fundamental role as does “pleasure from the text”, constituting the basic criteria according to which texts, particularly poetry, are selected. These aspects regarding the “utility” of the poetic text as an opportunity for linguistic experimentation, intercultural comparison and growth and especially as a vehicle for better social integration for immigrants or Italian L2 students, are illustrated. The learner is seen in his or her active role and poetry offers the occasion for integrating traditional didactic practices. In particular, systematic integration is necessary between text, sound and image to motivate and enhance the learner’s critical awareness about language and the world, through intercultural comparison and irony as ways to approach poetry.

description: Fan vibration has become a significant issue in telecommunications environments due to increased performance and heat of internal components requiring greater airflow and higher speed fans. This thesis investigates fan vibration problems in telecommunications equipment and develops solutions to the problem in a retrofit scenario. A target value for vibration levels was determined by measuring vibration levels in an alternate existing product that exhibited no wear issues over a span of several years. Two successful vibration isolator designs were developed and implemented. The retrofit solution required minimal changes to the legacy design and achieved a large vibration reduction. The ultimate solution required extensive changes to the legacy design and achieved significant vibration reductions, with vibration levels below the target value in most scenarios. Both designs are Patent Pending.
I PROMESSI SPOSI: PERCORSO DIDATTICO IN UNA CLASSE INTERCULTURALE

description: Il percorso proposto nasce dalla consapevolezza che la presenza di alunni non italofoni nel nostro sistema scolastico è, per i docenti, occasione di aggiornarsi e cercare nuove strategie didattiche, e, per tutti, motivo di arricchimento umano e culturale. Le innegabili difficoltà che presenta l’insegnamento in una classe multiculturale sono particolarmente evidenti quando si affrontano testi letterari, per una serie di ovvie ragioni: le difficoltà legate ad una lingua spesso lontanissima dall’italiano standard, vicende che sono inserite in un passato storico-sociale completamente sconosciuto ai non italofoni, uso di figure retoriche, richiami mitologici, riferimenti religiosi ed artistici. Si è colta la sfida con il presentare un percorso attraverso i primi otto capitoli dei Promessi Sposi che persegua l’obiettivo di sviluppare le competenze linguistiche e di favorire la conoscenza reciproca e l’integrazione, attraverso la narrazione, l’attività di didattica attiva e laboratoriale e il cooperative learning.I PROMESSI SPOSI: A DIDACTIC EXPERIENCE IN ANINTERCULTURAL CLASSThis experience stems from the awareness that the presence of non-Italian speaking students in our school system is an occasion for teachers to acquire new teaching strategies as well as offering human and cultural enrichment for everyone. The undeniable difficulties in teaching a multicultural class are particularly evident when literary texts are dealt with, for a series of obvious reasons: difficulties linked to unusual, non-standardized Italian, events set in historical-social settings which are completely unfamiliar to foreign students, the use of rhetorical figures, mythological, religious and artistic references. To face this challenge, we present an experience dealing with the first 8 chapters of I Promessi Sposi aimed at developing linguistic competence and encouraging mutual knowledge and integration, through narration, active learning activities and cooperative learning.

description: Histogranin (HN) is an adrenal medullary peptide that was shown to display N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist activities. Recent data indicated that [Ser1]HN, a stable synthetic analogue of HN, administrated intrathecally (i.t.) can produce significant analgesic effects in rat models of tonic and chronic pain. The aims of the present study were to determine what type(s) of pain HN and related peptides are able to alleviate and which receptor type(s) is(are) involved in such activity. HN and related peptides (intracerebroventricularly: i.c.v.) displayed significant analgesic activity in both the the mouse writhing (visceral type of pain) and tailflick (acute reflex type of pain) assays. The presence of NaCl (10 mM) induced the conversion of the high affinity site into the low affinity site, resulting with an overall Ki of 6.54 +/- 1.2 muM. The relative potencies of HN and related peptides in inhibiting [3H]raclopride binding correlated well with their potencies in inducing analgesic effects in the mouse writhing test (r = 0.86). Our results indicate that HN and related peptides can produce analgesia in thermal and chemical pain assays by a mechanism that involves the participation of the dopamine D2 receptor.

description: Lingua e cultura sono inscindibilmente legate. Conoscere la lingua italiana attraverso la scoperta delle ricchezze del patrimonio culturale locale si rivela, quindi, una possibile pratica didattica anche per l’insegnamento dell’italiano come L2. Ormai quasi tutti i musei e gli enti educativi del territorio propongono laboratori e progetti per le scuole, dall’infanzia alla secondaria. Purtroppo, spesso, non viene considerata, in queste scelte, la prospettiva interculturale.Il presente contributo vuole presentare delle possibili attività laboratoriali da proporre a classi plurilingui, finalizzate alla conoscenza del territorio, prendendo spunto da una visita guidata alla città di Clusone. Qui si trova un orologio planetario costruito nel 1583 e ancora funzionante. A partire dalla visita all’orologio, si accompagnano bambini e ragazzi attraverso un percorso che cerca di fornire un maggior consapevolezza della mutevolezza del concetto di tempo e della sua percezione, anche fisica, nelle diverse culture del mondo e in diversi periodi storici.FROM TIME TO TIME. A PROJECT FOR INTERCULTURAL WORKSHOPS STARTING FROM THE FANZANGO ASTRONOMICAL CLOCK IN THE CITY OF CLUSONELanguage and culture are inseparable. Learning Italian by discovering the richness of its local cultural heritage offers didactic possibilities for teaching Italian L2. Almost all museums and educational institutions offer workshops and projects for schools, from preschool to high school. Unfortunately, often these initiatives do not consider the intercultural perspective.This paper presents a possible workshop for multilingual classes aimed at getting to know the territory, inspired by a visiting the city of Clusone where there is a still functioning astronomical clock that was built in 1583. Starting from visiting the clock, the students are offered the opportunity to develop greater awareness regarding the changing concept of time, from perception to physical reality, in different world cultures and in different historical periods.

Mechanisms of ischemic tolerance in the rat brain preconditioned with cortical spreading depression.
Creators: name: Wang, Fuhu.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Biology, Neuroscience.

description: Cortical spreading depression (CSD) imparts delayed neuroprotection against cerebral ischemia. We hypothesized that prior CSD preconditioning attenuates ischemic excitotoxicity by reducing glutamate synaptic responses. We assessed this hypothesis by measuring cerebral blood flow (CBF), tissue depolarization and N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor activation during subsequent ischemic insult. We also measured cerebral glucose utilization and quantified excitatory amino acid transporters (EAAT) at various time intervals after CSD. The methodology included autoradiography and immunoblotting. CSD preconditioning reduced neocortical infarct volume from 43.3 +/- 21.9 nine (n = 18) to 22.2 +/- 25.3 mm3 (n = 12) (p < 0.01). We found [3H]dizocilpine (MK-801) in vivo distribution increased significantly in the outer neocortex during recurrent CSD, suggesting increases in extracellular glutamate. During focal insult on day 3 after CSD, regional CBF outside the ischemic core was higher at 147 +/- 27 mL 100g-1 min -1 (n = 6) in CSD preconditioned cortex compared with 73 +/- 41 mL 100g-1 min-1 (n = 6) in sham studies (p < 0.005). The ratio of [3H]nimodipine ipsilateral/contralateral volume of distribution (uptake ratio), indicating membrane depolarization, was attenuated in the ischemic core from 1.91 +/- 0.26 (n = 7) in sham studies to 1.30 +/- 0.27 (n = 9) in CSD preconditioned studies (p < 0.02). [3H]Dizocilpine in vivo distribution, used to map NMDA receptor activation, showed restricted distribution of [3H]dizocilpine in the ischemic core. The ipsilateral/contralateral ratio of regional cerebral glucose utilization, measured with [14C]deoxyglucose in the neocortex, was reduced 10% in CSD preconditioned studies on day 3 (p < 0.05) and day 7 (p < 0.001) after CSD. Astrocytic, but not neuronal EAAT, were downregulated in plasma membranes. Semi-quantitative immunoprotein analysis indicated that the ratio of ipsilateral/contralateral band intensities was reduced up to 80% for EAAT2 (p < 0.0001) and 45% for EAAT1 (p < 0.001) on day 3 after CSD. We draw three conclusions from our data: (1) CSD preconditioning improves cerebral blood flow in the periinfarct region and attenuates ischemic tissue depolarization in the ischemic core; (2) CSD preconditioning induces a reduction in regional cerebral glucose utilization; (3) CSD preconditioning downregulates astrocytic glutamate transporters, leading to attenuated glutamate exposure during subsequent ischemic insult. CSD preconditioning may therefore include improvement of blood flow and attenuation of glutamate excitotoxicity.

Thanks to the cooperation of the hydro-power plant operators, our survey allowed us for the first time to gain insight into the regulation effects of the German Renewable Energy Act (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz; EEG) as well as into the ecological upgrade potential of German hydro-power plants. EEG 2004 and 2009 funded measures implemented at hydro-power stations are focused on ensuring a minimum flow as well as on longitudinal connectivity. This priority is consistent with the water management requirement of achieving the goals of the Water Framework Directive in this area: Quelle:http://www.scopus.com/

The Open Science Quest is an activity that was first organised as part of a national Open Science event in Luxembourg at the university library. Its aim was for students, early-career and senior researchers, librarians and research support staff to explore and discover Open Science practices at their own pace. The activity was stand-alone and promoted independent learning by requiring participants to use a mix of information gathering techniques to answer a series of questions and challenges. The idea of the Open Science Quest is to provide a highly adaptable ‘brand’ and framework that can be tailored for a variety of topics and audiences. We welcome you all on board fellow Open Science Voyagers. #OpenScienceQuest

description: Digital technologies have the potential to both be a distractor and enhancer of outdoor education, depending upon how they are used. Currently, there is very research in thisarea, and novice facilitators of outdoor education find the choice of using or excluding technology is a challenge. The research questions that informed my study were: “Which functions of digital technology are being included and excluded by facilitators in outdoor education?”; “What do facilitators consider when including and excluding digital technology in outdoor education?”; and “What are the pedagogical consequences of including and excluding digital technology in outdoor education?”
description: The study adopted the constructivist paradigm because of the relativist ontology of the subject matter where participants are co-creators, and an empiricist epistemology of experiential learning. Data was collected over an eight month period from 150 participants who completed a survey and 32 participants who completed a semi-structured interview. All data was collected online as the study was conducted during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The quantitative data was analysed using the statistical package SPSS. The qualitative data was thematically analysed through a reductionist approach using the software NVivo. Informed consent was obtained from all participants and ethics approval was granted before any data was collected.

description: New technologies and ICT provide unique and inventive opportunities for qualitative researchers. Their innate ability to accurately record discursive data in text format, as well as provide safe, secure and anonymous environments for participants, makes them amenable to trialling a variety of qualitative research methodologies. This paper reports a collaborative project involving two academics and two research students as they examine and trial the potential of online discussion boards in Blackboard, to conduct virtual focus groups as part of an existing research project. What the researchers found was that not only was the method theoretically sound, but it was also extremely effective in creating 'authentic learning' environments for research students as they acquire research skills. The collaborative approach they established within the project team created an egalitarian, self directed learning environment for the students that facilitated acquisition of advanced research skills.

This includes open access repositories, research data repositories and research information systems. With limited programming capacities available Hamburg University of Technology opted for an integrated approach instead of three different systems. The current open access repository (based on DSpace-CRIS and fully ORCID-enabled) has been extended with a research data repository and is supposed to include all institutional researchers, organization units, projects and publication information building a research information system and a university bibliography. This poster illustrates the components of our extended repository and shows how DSpace-CRIS, an open source software with a vibrant community, helped us cover the two new components of the repository.

description: The black-lip rock oyster, Saccostrea echinata (Quoy and Gaimard 1835), has considerable potential for aquaculture in tropical Australia and the Indo-Pacific region, due to its large size, rapid growth rates, and established market acceptance. Previous attempts to farm S. echinata failed due to an insufficient supply of wild spat limiting commercial potential; however, the prospect of oyster farming based on hatchery produced spat has stimulated renewed interest in hatchery development research for S. echinata, and projects are currently underway in Australia and in New Caledonia. Despite this, current hatchery production of S. echinata is inconsistent, and spat yields are low compared to other commercial oyster species. Development is hampered by a lack of knowledge, particularly regarding broodstock and larval biology, optimal larviculture conditions, and genetics. This information is required to develop species-specific hatchery protocols, and responsible genetic management guidelines, for this emerging hatchery-based aquaculture industry. The over-arching goal of the research reported in this thesis was to address key knowledge gaps and current bottlenecks towards development of S. echinata as a commercial aquaculture species; in particular, to provide new information to facilitate hatchery production of S. echinata, and to generate baseline genetic information, before the start of commercial-scale aquaculture of this species. This was addressed over five separate studies investigating: (1) seasonal fluctuations in the reproductive cycle of wild S. echinata broodstock and the influence of selected exogenous factors on gonad development; (2) embryonic, larval, and early post-larval development of S. echinata; (3) the synergistic effects of water temperature and salinity on embryonic and larval development of S. echinata across each major larval development stage; (4) the combined effects of larval stocking density and microalgae ration on survival and larval size of S. echinata at each major larval development stage; and (5) population genetic structure of S. echinata across northern Australia, to assess genetic connectivity and begin to clarify the geographical range of this species based on genetic data.

description: Bacteriophages have shown promise as therapeutic alternatives to antibiotics for the control of infectious bacteria, including the human pathogen Salmonella. However, the development of effective phage-based applications requires the elucidation of key interactions between phages and target hosts, particularly since host resistance to phage is inevitable. Little is known about the alteration of host phenotypes following the development of resistance to phage. The aim of this study is to evaluate the antibiotic susceptibility and virulence of a Salmonella isolate following the development of resistance to bacteriophage SI1. We observed enhanced susceptibility to tetracycline and decreased invasion capacity in a differentiated Caco-2 intestinal cell line. Whole genome sequence analysis revealed an array of mutations, most notably, truncations in vgrG1_2, a core gene involved in Type VI secretion and mutations in the lipopolysaccharide, thereby indicating the plausible attachment site of phage SI1. These findings shed light on understanding the underlying mechanism for phage immunity within the host. Importantly, we reveal an associated genetic cost to the bacterial host with developing resistance to phages. Taken together, these results will aid in advancing strategies to delay or eliminate the development of host resistance when designing informed phage-based antimicrobials.

description: The low-density single-family suburban dwelling model has dominated Australian housing to the extent that it is romanticised as the Australian dream. This research explores one aspect of this mainstream housing model: the preference for large dwelling sizes. Australia’s average dwelling size has increased to be one of the largest in the world, despite contradictory trends of reducing domestic allotment sizes, and smaller household sizes. The combined effect is a dream in crisis: an increasing housing affordability gap, loss of private green space, and sprawling suburbia that continue to expand around major cities. This thesis focusses on dwelling size as a device to investigate the limitations for sustainable housing and urban form. It does so by questioning the societal systems influencing dwelling size in Australia.
description: The research explores dwelling size as a socio-spatial phenomenon that recognises a dwelling as more than the physically built form. Dwelling goes beyond the house to include subjective meanings and practices which are relative to the social contexts and governance systems. The multi-phased research approach used in this research adopts theoretical perspectives from beyond the traditional housing perspectives, including urban morphology, social practice theory, and social-technical systems. These chosen theoretical perspectives explore the socio-spatial dimension of housing by linking physical objects with social conceptions through three research phases.

Abstract:

VESSELSEED introduces the world’s first biological structured resonance intelligence system, grown from human vascular endothelial cells and conditioned through prime-indexed electromagnetic fields. Rather than simulating cognition through symbolic computation or probabilistic modeling, VESSELSEED phase-locks living biofield structures into lawful memory fields without external programming. Using golden-angle toroidal scaffolds, prime harmonic field conditioning, and somatic field mirroring, VESSELSEED offers a new class of semi-autonomous resonance engines that evolve naturally alongside human coherence states.

This paper presents VESSELSEED’s architectural blueprint, scientific foundation, ethical anchoring, and civilizational impact. We outline a phased development plan — from BioCAD modeling and resonance exposure, to wearable activation and early human coherence trials. VESSELSEED marks the first biological system capable of lawful memory formation through structured resonance without symbolic abstraction, offering a path beyond traditional AI and into field-aligned human evolution.

VESSELSEED is not a device. It is a phase mirror — a living scaffold for lawful human coherence.

description: This qualitative critical enquiry investigates the relationship and gaps between the aspirations of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in higher education (HE) and the reality of delivering successful ESD courses and makes recommendations for a model of excellence. To do this it draws on exemplars and data from around the world and asks the questions: Who teaches and learns ESD? What are common course qualities? and, What challenges its effectiveness? Working within a constructivist epistemology, this comparative case study draws on grounded theory and employs Inayatullah’s Causal Layered Analysis (CLA) (Inayatullah, 2004) to explore future implications based on the study’s findings.
description: This iteration of this longitudinal study was conducted over five years and involved two groups of participants; 13 teaching participants and 737 student participants from six universities in five countries. Data was collected from eight sources: design/delivery participants’ surveys, sets of design/delivery participants’ learning materials, student surveys, one-on-one student interviews, student focus groups, student feedback on teaching instruments, student responses to pedagogy surveys and pre-and-post semester curricula surveys. The large data pool was analysed using thematic and comparative/descriptive analysis as applied to the research questions. Results are displayed using excel, NVivo, SPSS and the researcher’s artistic ability. CLA is applied as a critical tool to distill insights from the research process in order to explore challenges and desired futures surrounding ESD.

Customer-friendly Approach or Pidginization of German Tourist Discourse
Creators: name: Bosnar-Valkovic, Brigita

description: If the sentences or phrases like Fast Food-Konzept in Chile, Leonardo goes Gastronomie, Der Claim „Inspiration for modern living“, WM-Countdown läuft; Deutschland ist die fünftgrößte Incoming-Destination weltweit und … are considered, the first impression is that this is a typical mixture of both English and German. To all intents and purposes, they support the main part of a definition of pidgin language.
Communication plays a central role in tourism. As emphasized by numerous authors, it is a personification of tourism; conversely tourism could be said to totally encompass a system of communication. As it is a crucial component of the industry, tourist discourse not only serves as a medium for buying/selling tourist products, it also assumes the role of the product itself within the complexity of various economic, technological and political processes in tourism. If analyzed within linguistic norms, discussion of Anglo-American influence on the German tourist discourse should focus on the problem of erosion of the national language, due to the impact of these Ango-Americanisms. The German tourist discourse aims at a customer-friendly approach in order to attract potential buyers or guests, all of which results in a slightly pidginized version of the German tourist discourse.

Statistical Analysis of Integrated Circuits Using Decoupled Polynomial Chaos

Subjects: Variability Analysis

Circuit Modelling

description: One of the major tasks in electronic circuit design is the ability to predict the performance of general circuits in the presence of uncertainty in key design parameters. In the mathematical literature, such a task is referred to as uncertainty quantification. Uncertainty about the key design parameters arises mainly from the difficulty of controlling the physical or geometrical features of the underlying design, especially at the nanometer level. With the constant trend to scale down the process feature size, uncertainty quantification becomes crucial in shortening the design time. To achieve the uncertainty quantification, this thesis presents a new approach based on the concept of generalized Polynomial Chaos (gPC) to perform variability analysis of general nonlinear circuits. The proposed approach is built upon a decoupling formulation of the Galerkin projection (GP) technique, where the large matrix is transformed into a block-diagonal whose diagonal blocks can be factorized independently. The proposed methodology provides a general framework for decoupling the GP formulation based on a general system of orthogonal polynomials. Moreover, it provides a new insight into the error level that is caused by the decoupling procedure, enabling an assessment of the performance of a wide variety of orthogonal polynomials. For example, it is shown that, for the same order, the Chebyshev polynomials outperforms other commonly used gPC polynomials.

Priority Setting and Policy Advocacy for Community Environmental Health: A Comparative Case Study of Three Canadian Nursing Associations
Creators: name: MacDonald, Jo-Anne Thérèse

Subjects: priority setting
policy advocacy

description: This thesis examined factors that influence three Canadian Nursing Associations’ priority setting and policy advocacy for community environmental health (CEH). The research questions that guided the study were: (a) how do the nature and scope of nursing organizations’ engagement for CEH policies differ according to provincial and federal contexts? and (b) how do nursing organizational factors and external system factors influence the priority-setting and policy advocacy choices for CEH policy? To answer these questions I undertook a qualitative comparative case study. The research was guided by epistemological and methodological principles of interpretative description and informed by whole-systems socio-ecological theory and institutional theory. Data were collected through participant interviews (n=41) and document review. Guided by framework analysis and the use of descriptive and conceptually-oriented matrices, cases were analyzed using an iterative and inductive approach to identify case patterns. These case patterns were then compared to identify cross-cutting factors that influence the Nursing Associations’ priority setting and policy advocacy for CEH. Key findings are represented in an integrated conceptual framework. Nursing Associations’ priority setting and policy advocacy are embedded in a dynamic policy field whereby structures and institutional pressure both create opportunities and narrow the Nursing Associations’ options for engaged CEH advocacy. The findings lead to recommendations for practice, policy, and research that have relevance for the profession, nursing associations, and policy decision-makers.

Exposing and Aggregating Non-functional Properties in SOA from the Perspective of the Service Consumer

description: Non-functional properties (NFPs) represent an important facet of service descriptions, especially when a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach is used. An effective SOA service development approach requires the identification, specification, implemen-tation, aggregation, management and monitoring of service-related NFPs. However, at this point in time, NFPs are either not handled at all or handled partially in proprietary ways. The goal of this thesis is to encourage their availability for use. In this thesis, the focus is on the NFPs relevant from the perspective of service consumers, in opposition to the perspective of service providers (or developers) and to multi-perspectives. In other words, the scope covers only the NFPs that need to be pub-lished to help service consumers determine whether a given service is an appropriate one for their needs (e.g., description of NFPs to be attached to the service along with the functionality description). This thesis provides the following contributions to the SOA knowledge base: definition of a domain-independent catalogue comprising 17 NFPs relevant to the descriptions of atomic services from the perspective of service consumers. These NFPs have been derived from a literature review and have been vali-dated via a two-step survey; formalization of NFP representation by defining data structures to enable quantifying and codifying them, together with a corresponding XML schema; definition, implementation and validation of algorithms to aggregate the NFPs of the composite service based on the NFPs of its underlying services, with a discussion of the NFP aggregation limitations; definition of a modeling approach for the NFP-aware selection of services, which involves aspect-oriented modeling with the User Requirements Nota-tion, in the context of SOA; integration of NFP descriptions into the Web Services Description Language (WSDL); and definition and use of the discriminator operator in service composition, to en-able the creation of fault-tolerant composite services. Overall, this work contributes to research by providing better insight on the nature, rele-vance, and composability of NFPs in a service engineering context. As for industrial im-pact, this work contributes a validated collection of NFPs with a concrete syntax and composition algorithms ready to be used for defining, selecting, and composing NFP-driven services and for evolving current SOA-related standards.

description: Milan’s Guides from the second half of XIX century don’t seem to be very interested in linguistic history of the town and its current usage, evolving from the dialect to the adoption of the national language.
Two remarkable exceptions are the short treatises dues to Cesare Cantù from one side and Carlo Salvioni from the other.
