description: Aims
The aim of this thesis is to record and preserve folktales from the oral tradition of the town of Palmi in Calabria, Southern Italy. It examines how the tales were the product of the time, place and culture from which they originated and how they reflected and transmitted the values and beliefs of that particular culture. It takes what has only ever existed in the oral tradition and transposes it into written text in the dialect of Palmi, which is then translated into English. It also seeks to place the stories within the broader context of the European Folktale Tradition.

Scope
The thesis examines stories from the oral tradition of the family of Mrs Carmela Speranza which were told to her by her father. It does not attempt to document the wider oral traditions of the town of Palmi, rather concentrating on the stories that were told within this one family.
Reference is made to other collections of Italian folktales taken from the oral tradition, including the works of writers such as Italo Calvino. Attention is also given to collections of folktales taken specifically from the Calabrian region, in particular the works of Letterio Di Francia and Raffaele Lombardi Satriani.

The thesis further attempts to examine Mrs Speranza’s stories within the conventions of folktale analysis and to show through this that they belong to the broader European Folktale Tradition.

Conclusions
The thesis concludes that the folktales told by Mrs Speranza are drawn from the oral tradition. They reflect the values and customs of the society from which they came and reveal universal truths about the human condition. The thesis also concludes that the stories can be justifiably placed within the broader context of the European Folktale Tradition as they contain the essential elements of these types of tales, complying, for example, with Olrik’s ‘Epic Laws of Folk Narrative’ and Bascom’s ‘Four Functions of Folklore.’ The stories also contain the style, composition, themes and structures which Luthi has identified as hallmarks of the European folktale.

description: Wie werden Menschen aus der unteren Klasse im Film repräsentiert? Sterotyp? Klischeehaft? Differenziert? Wie sehen sie aus, wie sprechen sie, welche Entwicklung machen sie durch im Laufe der Handlung? In dieser Arbeit geht es nicht nur um das „was“ der Repräsentation, sondern auch um das „wie“. Es muss ein Bezug zwischen den beiden hergestellt werden, um zu verhindern, dass die Lösung für mehr Sichtbarkeit ist, dass einfach nur mehr Figuren in Filmen und Serien auftauchen müssen, die die untere Klasse repräsentieren. Das Ziel ist es, eine detaillierte Analyse der beiden Filme „Fack ju Göhte“ und „Sonne und Beton“ durchzuführen, um die Relation zwischen dem „was“ und dem „wie“ der Repräsentation herauszuarbeiten.

description: We describe the application of a statistical method to estimate submillimeter galaxy number counts from confusion limited observations by the Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST). Our method is based on a maximum likelihood fit to the pixel histogram, sometimes called 'P(D)', an approach which has been used before to probe faint counts, the difference being that here we advocate its use even for sources with relatively high signal-to-noise ratios. This method has an advantage over standard techniques of source extraction in providing an unbiased estimate of the counts from the bright end down to flux densities well below the confusion limit. We specifically analyse BLAST observations of a roughly 10 sq. deg. map centered on the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey South (GOODS-S) field. We provide estimates of number counts at the three BLAST wavelengths, 250, 350, and 500 microns; instead of counting sources in flux bins we estimate the counts at several flux density nodes connected with power-laws. We observe a generally very steep slope for the counts of about -3.7 at 250 microns and -4.5 at 350 and 500 microns, over the range ~0.02-0.5 Jy, breaking to a shallower slope below about 0.015 Jy at all three wavelengths. We also describe how to estimate the uncertainties and correlations in this method so that the results can be used for model-fitting. This method should be well-suited for analysis of data from the Herschel satellite.

Subjects: scoping study; typologies of change; factors studies; process-oriented approaches; resistance to change

description: The interest of researchers on the issue of changes in management accounting practices has increased over the years. Many works have been published that widely vary according to the nature of the business context in which change is implemented, the theoretical approach used, research focus and research methods adopted. The general picture which emerges from these contributions is that Management Accounting Change (MAC) is a complex topic. This is why it still lacks a clear and agreed definition and there’s no consensus on which is the most appropriate paradigm to study it. Based on this evidence, the aim of this study is to provide a deep understanding of MAC phenomenon, conducting a scoping study based on papers published in both Italian and International Accounting Journals. Typologies, causes, as well as the organizational and managerial implication of change are analyzed.  Finally, some suggestions for further studies are presented.

description: Biroli et al.'s extension of the standard mode-coupling theory to inhomogeneous equilibrium states [Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 195701 (2006)] allowed them to identify a characteristic length scale that diverges upon approaching the mode-coupling transition. We present a numerical investigation of this length scale. To this end we derive and numerically solve equations of motion for coefficients in the small q expansion of the dynamic susceptibility $χ_{\mathbf{q}}(\mathbf{k};t)$ that describes the change of the system's dynamics due to an external inhomogeneous potential. We study the dependence of the characteristic length scale on time, wave-vector, and on the distance from the mode-coupling transition. We verify scaling predictions of Biroli et al. In addition, we find that the numerical value of the diverging length scale qualitatively agrees with lengths obtained from four-point correlation functions. We show that the diverging length scale has very weak k dependence, which contrasts with very strong $k$ dependence of the $q\to 0$ limit of the susceptibility, $χ_{\mathbf{q}=0}(\mathbf{k};t)$. Finally, we compare the diverging length obtained from the small q expansion to that resulting from an isotropic approximation applied to the equation of motion for the dynamic susceptibility $χ_{\mathbf{q}}(\mathbf{k};t)$.

description: Single-particle excitation spectra of gamma-Fe in the paramagnetic state have been investigated by means of the first-principles dynamical coherent potential approximation theory which has recently been developed. It is found that the central peak in the density of states consisting of the t2g bands is destroyed by electron correlations, and the Mott-Hubbard type correlated bands appear. The results indicate that the gamma-Fe can behave as correlated electrons at high temperatures.

description: Abstract. The article is devoted to the problem of nature and role of individual’s reproductive rights in the system of private moral right. The purpose of the contribution is to study the legal regulation of reproductive rights of women in India and Ukraine and analyse the features of some reproductive rights, which are carried out with the help of assisted reproductive technologies with an emphasis on issues related to surrogacy, case law on this issue. Research methods. The paper is executed by applying the general research and special methods of scientific cognition. Results. Reproductive rights generally mean the right of an individual to control the process of reproduction. It includes the right to decide whether to have or not to have a child, the number and spacing of children; access to reproductive services etc. Considering the importance of human reproduction, the reproductive rights are declared as fundamental human rights. However, at the international and national levels, there is no a single document which explains the scope of reproductive rights. In the absence of such a document, the reproductive rights raise several questions. For example, the scope of this right to an aged or disabled person or a transgender or a prisoner etc. is a million-dollar question which does not have a specific answer. Since the women’s empowerment includes women’s reproductive empowerment, a clear and reasonable answer is required for achieving the aim of reproductive empowerment. A detailed examination of legal frameworks both at international and national levels is necessary to answer these questions. Conclusions. Scientific positions on reproductive rights are substantiated. It is emphasized that reproductive rights are the rights of the latest, fourth generation of human rights, and are derived from personal rights. It is noted that human reproductive rights are both natural and those that are carried out with the use of assistive technologies. The article deals with the basic types of reproductive rights, including the right to artificial insemination, surrogacy, sterilization, prevention and treatment of infertility, abortion, organ donation and reproductive cells, the use of contraception, the right to reproductive choice, the right to reproductive health, right to information about reproductive rights, the right to privacy to implement reproductive rights and others. The necessity of adopting the special legislative act in the sphere of reproductive rights and reproductive health is grounded.

description: The emergent scenario provides a possible way to avoid the big bang singularity by assuming that the universe originates from an Einstein static state. Therefore, an Einstein static universe stable under perturbations is crucial to a successful implementation of the emergent mechanism. In this paper, we analyze the stability of the Einstein static universe against the scalar perturbations in the mimetic theory and find that stable Einstein static solutions exist under certain conditions in this theory. In the original mimetic gravity, the Einstein static universe is unstable. Then, we find that the universe can naturally exit from the initial static state, evolve into an inflationary era and then exit from the inflationary era. Thus, the emergent scenario can be used to resolve the big bang singularity in the mimetic theory.

description: We consider a classical XY-like Hamiltonian on a body-centered tetragonal lattice, focusing on the role of interlayer frustration. A three-dimensional (3D) ordered phase is realized via thermal fluctuations, breaking the mirror-image reflection symmetry in addition to the XY symmetry. A heuristic field-theoretical model of the transition has a decoupled fixed point in the 3D XY universality, and our Monte Carlo simulation suggests that there is such a temperature region where long-wavelength fluctuations can be described by this fixed point. However, it is shown using scaling arguments that the decoupled fixed point is unstable against a fluctuation-induced biquadratic interaction, indicating that a crossover to nontrivial critical phenomena with different exponents appears as one approaches the critical point beyond the transient temperature region. This new scenario clearly contradicts the previous notion of the 3D XY universality.

CMB anisotropies at second order III: bispectrum from products of the first-order perturbations

description: We calculate the bispectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature anisotropies induced by the second-order fluctuations in the Boltzmann equation. In this paper, which is one of a series of papers on the numerical calculation of the bispectrum from the second-order fluctuations, we consider the terms that are products of the first-order perturbations, and leave intrinsically second-order terms and perturbations in the recombination history to the subsequent papers. We show that the bispectrum has the maximum signal in the squeezed triangles, similar to the local-type primordial bispectrum, as both types generate non-linearities via products of the first-order terms in position space. However, detailed calculations show that their shapes are sufficiently different: the cross-correlation coefficient reaches 0.5 at the maximum multipole of l_{max}~ 200, and then weakens to 0.3 at l_{max}~ 2000. The differences in shape arise from (i) the way the acoustic oscillations affect the bispectrum, and (ii) the second-order effects not being scale-invariant. This implies that the contamination of the primordial bispectrum due to the second-order effects (from the products of the first-order terms) is small. The expected signal-to-noise ratio of the products of the first-order terms is ~ 0.4 at l_{max}~ 2000 for a full-sky, cosmic variance limited experiment. We therefore conclude that the products of the first-order terms may be safely ignored in the analysis of the future CMB experiments. The expected contamination of the local-form f_{NL} is f^{local}_{NL}~ 0.9 at l_{max}~ 200, and f^{local}_{NL}~ 0.5 at l_{max}~ 2000.

Further, in the combinatory approach, all these symmetries are intrinsically related to each other, e.g. to the very important dS kinematics for the cosmic scale physics.

description: It is widely believed that Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) originate in binary systems where a white dwarf accretes material from a companion star until its mass approaches the Chandrasekhar mass and carbon is ignited in the white dwarf's core. This scenario predicts that the donor star should survive the supernova explosion, providing an opportunity to understand the progenitors of Type Ia supernovae.In this paper we argue that rotation is a generic signature expected of most non-giant donor stars that is easily measurable. \citep{2004Natur.431.1069R} examined stars in the center of the remnant of SN 1572 (Tycho's SN) and showed evidence that a subgiant star (Star G by their naming convention) near the remnant's centre was the system's donor star. We present high-resolution (R \simeq 40000) spectra taken with the High Dispersion Spectrograph on Subaru of this candidate donor star and measure the star's radial velocity as $79\pm 2$ \kms with respect to the LSR and put an upper limit on the star's rotation of 7.5 \kms. In addition, by comparing images that were taken in 1970 and 2004, we measure the proper motion of Star G to be $μ_l = -1.6 \pm 2.1$ \masyr and $μ_b = -2.7 \pm 1.6$ \masyr. We demonstrate that all of the measured properties of Star G presented in this paper are consistent with those of a star in the direction of Tycho's SN that is not associated with the supernova event. However, we discuss an unlikely, but still viable scenario for Star G to be the donor star, and suggest further observations that might be able to confirm or refute it.

description: We summarize new X-ray detections of four nitrogen-type Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars obtained in a limited survey aimed at establishing the X-ray properties of WN stars across their full range of spectral subtypes. None of the detected stars is so far known to be a close binary. We report Chandra detections of WR 2 (WN2), WR 18 (WN4), and WR 134 (WN6), and an XMM-Newton detection of WR79a (WN9ha). These observations clearly demonstrate that both WNE and WNL stars are X-ray sources. We also discuss Chandra archive detections of the WN6h stars WR 20b, WR 24, and WR 136 and ROSAT non-detections of WR 16 (WN8h) and WR 78 (WN7h). The X-ray spectra of all WN detections show prominent emission lines and an admixture of cool (kT < 1 keV) and hot (kT > 2 keV) plasma. The hotter plasma is not predicted by radiative wind shock models and other as yet unidentified mechanisms are at work. Most stars show X-ray absorption in excess of that expected from visual extinction (Av), likely due to their strong winds or cold circumstellar gas. Existing data suggest a falloff in X-ray luminosity toward later WN7-9 subtypes, which have higher Lbol but slower, denser winds than WN2-6 stars. This provides a clue that wind properties may be a more crucial factor in determining emergent X-ray emission levels than bolometric luminosity.

description: This paper presents several component prototypes towards a low-latency, small-form-factor optical link designed for the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter Phase-I trigger upgrade. A prototype of the custom-made dual-channel optical transmitter module, the Miniature optical Transmitter (MTx), with separate transmitter optical sub-assemblies (TOSAs) has been demonstrated at data rates up to 8 Gbps per channel. A Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) driver ASIC has been developed and is used in the current MTx prototypes. A serializer ASIC prototype, operating at up to 8 Gbps per channel, has been designed and tested. A low-latency, low-overhead encoder ASIC prototype has been designed and tested. The latency of the whole link, including the transmitter latency and the receiver latency but not the latency of the fiber, is estimated to be less than 57.9 ns. The size of the MTx is 45 mm x 15 mm x 6 mm.

Massive AGB models of low metallicity: the implications for the self-enrichment scenario in metal poor Globular Clusters

description: Context: We present the physical and chemical properties of intermediate-mass stars models of low metallicity, evolved along the thermal pulse phase. Aims: The target of this work is to extend to low metallicities, Z=1,2 and 6 x 10^{-4}, the models previously computed for chemistries typical of Globular Clusters of an intermediate metallicity (Z=0.001), and for the most metal-rich clusters found in our Galaxy (Z=0.004); the main goal is to test the self-enrichment scenario also for metal poor Globular Clusters Methods: We calculated three grids of intermediate-mass models with metallicities Z=10^{-4}, 2x10^{-4}, and 6x10^{-4}; the evolutionary sequences are followed from the pre-main sequence throughout the AGB phase, almost until the ejection of the whole envelope. We discuss the chemistry of the ejecta, and in particular the mass fractions of those elements that have been investigated during the many, deep, spectrocopic surveys of Globular Clusters Results: Although the data for oxygen and sodium are scarce for low metallicity Globular Clusters, the few data for the unevolved stars in NGC6397 are compatible with the models. Further, we find good agreement with the C--N anticorrelation of unevolved stars in the cluster M15. In this cluster, however, no stars having low oxygen ([O/Fe] = -1) have been detected. The most massive, very metal poor clusters, should contain such stars, according to the present models. At the lowest metallicity Z=10^{-4}, the ejecta of the most massive AGBs have C/O>1, due to the dramatic decrease of the oxygen abundance. We discuss the possible implications of this prediction.

description: We propose a line code that has fast resynchronization capability and low latency. Both the encoder and decoder have been implemented in FPGAs. The encoder has also been implemented in an ASIC. The latency of the whole optical link (not including the optical fiber) is estimated to be less than 73.9 ns. In the case of radiation-induced link synchronization loss, the decoder can recover the synchronization in 25 ns. The line code will be used in the ATLAS liquid argon calorimeter Phase-I trigger upgrade and can also be potentially used in other LHC experiments.

MTx and MTRx are Transmitter Optical Subassembly (TOSA) and Receiver Optical Subassembly (ROSA) based. There are two major developments: the Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) driver ASIC LOCld and the mechanical latch that provides the connection to fibers. In this paper, we concentrate on the justification of this work, the design of the latch and the test results of these two modules with a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) VCSEL driver.

description: We argue that the lack of observed damped Lyman alpha (DLA) systems that simultaneously have high HI columns densities and high metallicities results naturally from the formation of molecules in the cold phase of a two-phase atomic medium in pressure balance. Our result applies equally well in diffuse systems where the ultraviolet radiation field is dominated by the extragalactic background and in dense star-forming ones, where the local radiation field is likely to be orders of magnitude higher. We point out that such a radiation-insensitive model is required to explain the absence of high column - high metallicity systems among DLAs observed using gamma-ray burst afterglows, since these are likely subjected to strong radiation fields created by active star formation in the GRB host galaxy. Moreover, we show that the observed relationship between the maximum atomic gas column in DLAs sets a firm upper limit on the fraction of the mass in these systems that can be in the warm, diffuse phase. Finally, we argue that our result explains the observed lack of in situ star formation in DLA systems.

description: The progression of cardiac gene expression–wall shear stress (WSS) interplay is critical to identifying developmental defects during cardiovascular morphogenesis. However, mechano-genetics from the embryonic to larval stages are poorly understood in vertebrates. We quantified peak WSS in the heart and tail vessels of Japanese medaka from 3 days post fertilization (dpf) to 14 dpf using in vivo micro-particle image velocimetry flow measurements, and in parallel analysed the expression of five cardiac genes (fgf8, hoxb6b, bmp4, nkx2.5, smyd1). Here, we report that WSS in the atrioventricular canal (AVC), ventricular outflow tract (OFT), and the caudal vessels in medaka peak with inflection points at 6 dpf and 10–11 dpf instead of a monotonic trend. Retrograde flows are captured at the AVC and OFT of the medaka heart for the first time. In addition, all genes were upregulated at 3 dpf and 7 dpf, indicating a possible correlation between the two, with the cardiac gene upregulation preceding WSS increase in order to facilitate cardiac wall remodelling.

description: We present a simple two-field model of inflation and show how to embed it in string theory as a straightforward generalization of axion monodromy models. Phenomenologically, the predictions are equivalent to those of chaotic inflation, and in particular include observably large tensor modes. The whole high-scale large-field inflationary dynamics takes place within a region of field space that is parametrically subplanckian in diameter, hence improving our ability to control quantum corrections and achieve slow-roll inflation.

description: Spectral molecular line profile observations of star-forming molecular clouds sometimes show distinct red asymmetric double-peaked molecular line profiles with weaker blue peaks and stronger red peaks. For some star-forming molecular clouds, such molecular transitions with red asymmetric line profiles and blue asymmetric line profiles (i.e. blue asymmetric double-peaked molecular line profiles with weaker red peaks and stronger blue peaks) may coexist in spatially resolved spectral observations, while for others, such molecular transitions with red asymmetric line profiles may completely dominate in spatially resolved spectral observations. Blue asymmetric line profiles are usually interpreted as signals of central core collapses, while red asymmetric line profiles remain unexplained. In this paper, we advance a spherically symmetric self-similar hydrodynamic model framework for envelope expansions with core collapses (EECC) of a general polytropic molecular gas cloud under self-gravity. Based on such EECC hydrodynamic cloud models, we perform tracer molecular line profile calculations using the publicly available RATRAN code for star-forming clouds with spectroscopic signatures of red asymmetric line profiles. The presence of red asymmetric line profiles from molecular cloud cores indicates that EECC processes are most likely an essential hydrodynamic process of star formation. With spatial distributions, we explore various profiles of molecular lines for several tracer molecules in different settings of EECC dynamic models with and without shocks.

Anomalous decay of a prepared state due to non-Ohmic coupling to the continuum

description: We study the decay of a prepared state $E_0$ into a continuum {E_k} in the case of non-Ohmic models. This means that the coupling is $|V_{k,0}| \propto |E_k-E_0|^{s-1}$ with $s \ne 1$. We find that irrespective of model details there is a universal generalized Wigner time $t_0$ that characterizes the evolution of the survival probability $P_0(t)$. The generic decay behavior which is implied by rate equation phenomenology is a slowing down stretched exponential, reflecting the gradual resolution of the bandprofile. But depending on non-universal features of the model a power-law decay might take over: it is only for an Ohmic coupling to the continuum that we get a robust exponential decay that is insensitive to the nature of the intra-continuum couplings. The analysis highlights the co-existence of perturbative and non-perturbative features in the dynamics. It turns out that there are special circumstances in which $t_0$ is reflected in the spreading process and not only in the survival probability, contrary to the naive linear response theory expectation.

description: This article is addressing a recurrent problem in biology: mining newly built large scale networks. Our approach consists in comparing these new networks to well known ones. The visual backbone of this comparative analysis is provided by a network classification hierarchy. This method makes sense when dealing with metabolic networks since comparison could be done using pathways (clusters). Moreover each network models an organism and it exists organism classification such as taxonomies. Video demonstration: http://www.labri.fr/perso/bourqui/video.wmv

description: Data vocabularies facilitate the organization and retrieval of knowledge. As the volumes of data being generated in the internet age is exploding, the need for structuring data such that automated organization can occur is becoming even more crucial to manage this data. A popular method of searching this data in the context of a vocabulary is through the use of graph theory. This paper describes the scenario where, through the use of a data vocabulary for describing automotive data based on labeled property graphs, data is modified such that it is stored in a knowledge graph. The difficulties that were encountered in this effort and how they were overcome are also discussed.

Publisher: name: Economia Aziendale Online
Year: 2019

description: In the last years the Public Administration and, more specifically, the Municipalities introduce in their strategies logics of Performance Management to increase the services offered to the citizens and the correct treatment of the public goods. Furthermore, the safeguard of the objectives’ achievement also passes for the risk management practices and through the ability of the Municipality to assess their risk and treat these in order to remove or reduce the impact of serious negative events (called also “operational risks”). This work aims to suggest an overall vision on the Risk Management practices, with particular regard of the Operational Risks, provided by the Internal Control System of the municipalities in the Italian legislative framework. Through a content analysis of the laws and the legislative provisions adopted in the universe of the Public Administration it’s be possible to understand the integration grade between the activities provided in the Internal Control System and the Operational Risk Management practices. The paper tries to sustain the debate about the introduction of risk logics within the Public Internal Control System to ensure the goal’s achievement and a correct used of the Public resources.

description: Der vorliegende Artikel befasst sich mit der Entwicklung und Untersuchung von Werkzeugen zur Weiterentwicklung des Ausbildungsbetriebes von Hubschrauberrettungspiloten. Ziel ist es, das Ausbildungspersonal bei der objektiven und vergleichbaren Beurteilung des mentalen Zustandes (Beanspruchung) von Flugschülern technisch zu unterstützen. Der Artikel stellt eine Methode zur Abschätzung der mentalen Beanspruchung von Piloten sowie der freien/benötigen kognitiven und sensomotorischen Ressourcen vor. Hierzu werden der verwendete methodische Ansatz sowie Einzelheiten des prototypisch realisierten Ausbildungsarbeitsplatzes in unserem Forschungssimulator präsentiert. In einer ersten Simulatorstudie mit vier Versuchspersonen bewerteten die Piloten in der Rolle als Ausbilder den Arbeitsplatz mit den realisierten Anzeigen als hilfreich und zielführend. Ein möglicher Einsatzzweck dieser ersten realisierten Unterstützungsfunktionen ergibt sich aus der Optimierung von Debriefings mittels Offlineanalyse der aufgezeichneten Mission, um so beispielsweise Beanspruchungsspitzen zu identifizieren. Ferner kann auf Basis der Onlineanalyse der Beanspruchung eine individuelle Optimierung des Trainings von Flugschülern erfolgen. Beide Anwendungsfelder erfordern jedoch noch eine Weiterentwicklung und Validierung der eingesetzten Methode in dem speziellen Aufgabenumfeld.

description: We theoretically study the size effect of water molecule clusters not only on electrostatic interaction between two charged surfaces in an aqueous electrolyte but also on electroosmotic transport in a nanofluidic channel. Applying a free energy based mean-field approach accounting for different sizes of ions and water molecule clusters, we derive a set of coupled equations to compute electrostatic and electroosmotic properties between charged surfaces. We verify that the smaller the size of a water cluster, the stronger the electroosmotic transport in nanofluidic channels. In addition, we find that an increase in size of a water cluster yields a decrease in electrostatic interaction strength between similar or oppositely charged planar surfaces.
