    a.e. Convergence of TT means with respect to Vilenkin systems of integrable functions

    Full text link
    In this paper we derive converge of TT means of Vilenkin-Fourier series with monotone coefficients of integrable functions in Lebesgue and Vilinkin-Lebesgue points. Moreover, we discuss pointwise and norm convergence in LpL_p norms of such TT means.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2106.11836. substantial text overlap with arXiv:2101.09196 by other author

    High-temperature oxygen non-stoichiometry, conductivity and structure in strontium-rich nickelates La2-xSrxNiO4-\delta (x = 1 and 1.4)

    Full text link
    Oxygen nonstoichiometry, electrical conductivity and thermal expansion of La2 xSrxNiO4-\delta phases with high levels of strontium substitution (1 =< x =< 1.4) have been investigated in air and oxygen atmosphere in the temperature range 20-1050 degrees C. These phases retain the K2NiF4-type structure of La2NiO4 (tetragonal, space group I4/mmm). The oxygen vacancy fraction was determined independently from thermogravimetric and neutron diffraction experiments, and is found to increase considerably on heating. The electrical resistivity, thermal expansion and cell parameters with temperature show peculiar variations with temperature, and differ notably from La2NiO4±\pm\delta in this respect. These variations are tentatively correlated with the evolution of nickel oxidation state, which crosses from a Ni3+/Ni4+ to a Ni2+/Ni3+ equilibrium on heating

    Diritto di soggiorno ed accesso ai benefici sociali per i cittadini europei : verso il superamento della crisi? Riflessioni a margine della recente sentenza Florea Gusa della Corte di Giustizia dell’Unione europea

    No full text
    In the Flore Gusa judgement the European Union Court of Justice stated that an EU citizen who, after more than one year, has ceased to work in a self-employed capacity in another Member State because of an absence of work owing to reasons beyond his control retains the status of self-employed person and, consequently, a right to reside in that Member State. This judgement represents a step forward compared to that Dano. After the judgement Florea Gusa, the rules of secondary legislation (directive 2004/38/CE) are once again used as instruments of social integration and promotion of intra-European mobility of nationals of the Member States

    Modernist Aesthetics: Sexual Ethics, Gender Relations, and Respective Moments of Epiphany

    Get PDF
    Reconsidering the significance of the enigmatic literary category of epiphany to modernist fiction, this thesis investigates and identifies its interdependence with the topics of sexual ethics and gender relations within the corpus of James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), Ulysses (1922), and Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927). Therefore, this research aims to analyse the ‘blurred’ concept of epiphany as an epicentre of modernist aesthetics and to establish the moments of sublime insights as a constitutive element in achieving ‘truths’ about the particularly acute issues within contemporary society. I argue that, in these novels, all the instances of epiphanies represent a medium for expressing the protagonists’ transcendental/metaphysical experiences that provide a new sense of awareness of human sexuality and re-evaluate the established relationships between sexes. For this purpose, I investigate and contrast the ecstatic moments experienced by the female and male protagonists and examine to what extent James Joyce and Virginia Woolf incorporate epiphanic moments in their narrative. Additionally, I explore if it is a particularly plausible model in breaking the traditional gender roles. By doing so, I detect that the primary purpose of an epiphany is to unmask, go beyond the basic patterns and discover a new and systematic understanding of already established phenomena. I will use a qualitative research methodology for the thematic and content analysis and engage with it through gender and narrative theory. Ultimately, this paper endeavours to prove that the aspects of gender and sexuality represented by the cognitive phenomena of epiphany show the ambitious project of Modernism as a critique of what has been marginalised by the mainstream
