El autor italiano esboza ahĂ el retrato de MilĂĄn, ciudad del milagro econĂłmico
italiano durante los años 60, pero también capital del crimen y de la corrupción.Crime fiction works are big consumers of urban space. The city, with all its
suburbs, represents a sort of privileged territory. Its image, often decadent
and corruptive, is generated by an action focussed on the encounter between
detective fiction and criminal universe. A particular night atmosphere â violent,
gloomy, anxious, and dark â results from this combination of elements. All
these aspects will be analysed in Giorgio Scerbanencoâs novel Traitors to all.
It is the second part, after A private Venus, of Duca Lambertiâs adventures,
considered one of the most atypical characters of crime fiction. In this work the
Italian author suggests a portrait of Milan, the centre of the economical miracle
in the 1960sm but also the capital of crime and corruption
IL ROMANZO NOIR ITALIANO : TRA LETTERATURA, POLITICA E DISCORSO SOCIALE. ARRIVERDERCI AMORE, CIAO: IL CASO CARLOTTO
Il romanzo noir italiano ha iniziato ad imporsi allâinizio degli anni novanta e si Ăš conquistato, nei due decenni successivi, uno spazio senza precedenti sia nelle librerie che nella discussione mediatica. Molti autori, nel corso degli anni, si sono sempre piĂč affermati. Un caso emblematico Ăš rappresentato dallo scrittore Massimo Carlotto. Vittima di uno dei casi piĂč controversi della storia politica italiana, Massimo Carlotto usa il romanzo noir come sostituto della ricerca giudiziaria, sulla base degli atti processuali dei casi giĂ passati in giudicato. Nei suoi romanzi troviamo mescolati discorso politico e discorso sociale, oltre ad una rappresentazione della societĂ fortemente distopica: avvocati, giudici, poliziotti, imprenditori e amministratori pubblici corrotti.
Il presente articolo propone unâanalisi del romanzo Arriverderci, amore ciao, pubblicato nel 2001. Protagonista del romanzo Ăš Giorgio Pellegrini, fuggiasco, criminale e narratore, esempio perfetto di un criminale in ascesa e integrato socialmente. Ancora una volta, lo scrittore padovano sceglie di ambientare le sue storie nel ricco Nord-est italiano, con lâintento di denunciare la collusione tra istituzioni politiche, giudiziarie e i grandi investitori locali
Interdisciplinary approaches: literature and cartography. Between images and words
Nellâultimo ventennio, un numero importante di lavori sono stati consacrati allo studio della
rappresentazione dello spazio nei testi letterari. Tale interesse sembra inscriversi sia nellâevoluzione dei
generi, caratterizzati da una spazializzazione crescente delle forme narrative, sia nello sviluppo di
pratiche artistiche legate alla creazione di carte letterarie. In seguito allâaffermarsi dello spatial turn
negli studi letterari e culturali, parte della critica ha focalizzato la sua attenzione sulla relazione che
intercorre tra spazio immaginario, spazio referenziale e pratica cartografica. Questâultimo aspetto
costituisce uno dei temi piĂč interessanti della metodologia geocritica.
Il presente articolo mira a studiare questa âconvergenzaâ tra la letteratura e la cartografia, con
lâintento di esaminare la testualitĂ delle carte letterarie e, in particolare, la loro dimensione retorica. Le
carte letterarie sono in grado di rappresentare i luoghi in cui si svolge lâazione di un romanzo, o di piĂč
romanzi, permettendo allo scrittore di costruire un mondo immaginario che i lettori esplorano assieme ai
personaggi.For twenty years, a large number of works have been devoted to studying the inclusion of
literature in space and the representation of places in literary texts. This interest in space issues seems to
fit in both the evolution of literary genres, characterized by an increasing spatialization of narrative
forms, and the development of artistic practices related to the creation of literary maps. After what has
been termed the spatial turn in literary and cultural studies, critics have focused their attention on the
relationships among space, place and mapping in literature. This aspect is one of the most interesting
themes in the field of Geocriticism.
This paper aims to study this âconvergenceâ between literature and cartography, examining the
textuality of literary maps and, in particular, their rhetorical dimension. Literary maps can represent the
story setting, allowing the author to build a fictional world that readers explore with the characters
Transient Effects in Gain-Clamped Discrete Raman Amplifier Cascades
This letter describes the dynamic characteristics of all-optically gain clamped discrete Raman amplifier chains. Amplifier cascades are analyzed under channels add/drop conditions in large bandwidth WDM metro-core applications. Numerical results show that the long Raman fiber length does not allow instantaneous gain clamping giving rise to wide power oscillations in long Raman amplifier chains. A possible way to limit this detrimental effect is suggested and numerically demonstrated
Quality of life in workers and stress: gender differences in exposure to psychosocial risks and perceived well-being
Background. Quality of working life is the result of many factors inherent in the workplace environment, especially in terms of
exposure to psychosocial risks. Objectives. The purpose of this study is to assess the quality of life with special attention to gender
differences. Methods. The HSE-IT questionnaire and the WHO-5 Well-Being Index were administered to a group of workers (74
males and 33 females). The authors also used Cronbachâs alpha test to assess the internal consistency of both questionnaires and the
MannâWhitney test to evaluate the significance of gender differences in both questionnaires. Results. The HSE-IT highlighted the
existence of work-related stress in all the population with a critical perception regarding the domain âRelationships.â Furthermore,
gender analysis highlighted the presence of two additional domains in the female population: âDemandâ ( = 0,002) and âSupport
from Managersâ ( = 0,287). The WHO-5 highlighted a well-being level below the standard cut-off point with a significant gender
difference ( = 0.009) for males (18, SD = 6) as compared to females (14, SD = 6,4). Cronbachâs alpha values indicated a high level of
internal consistency for both of our scales. Conclusions. The risk assessment of quality of working life should take into due account
the individual characteristics of workers, with special attention to gender
ASSESSMENT OF CADMIUM EFFECTS ON BIOMASS AND IONOME OF GREEN FRESHWATER MICROALGAE (CHLOROPHYCEAE)
Fiber-Optic Distributed Sensor Based on Hybrid Raman and Brillouin Scattering Employing Multiwavelength FabryâPĂ©rot Lasers
We propose the use of standard multiwavelength FabryâPĂrot (FP) lasers for distributed strain and temperature measurement in hybrid Raman- and Brillouin-based fiber-optic sensors. The multiple longitudinal modes of FP lasers allow for accurate spontaneous Raman scattering measurement and for simultaneous high-sensitivity coherent detection of the Brillouin frequency shift parameter for all longitudinal modes. Experimental results confirm great performance improvement in simultaneous strain and temperature measurement using a single optical fiber
Analysis of pulse modulation format in coded BOTDA sensors
A theoretical and experimental analysis of the impact of pulse modulation format on Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) sensors using pulse coding techniques has been carried out. Pulse coding with conventional non-return-to-zero (NRZ) modulation format is shown to induce significant distortions in the measured Brillouin gain spectrum (BGS), especially in proximity of abrupt changes in the fiber gain spectra. Such an effect, as confirmed by the theoretical analysis, is due to acoustic wave pre-excitation and non-uniform gain which depends on the bit patterns defined by the different codewords. A successful use of pulse coding techniques then requires to suitably optimize the employed modulation format in order to avoid spurious oscillations causing severe penalties in the attained accuracy. Coding technique with return-to-zero (RZ) modulation format is analyzed under different duty-cycle conditions for a 25 km-long sensing scheme, showing that low duty-cycle values are able to effectively suppress the induced distortions in the BGS and allow for spatially-accurate, high-resolution strain and temperature measurements being able to fully exploit the provided coding gain (~7.2 dB along 25 km distance) with unaltered spatial resolution (1 meter). Although Simplex coding is used in our analysis, the validity of the results is general and can be directly applied to any intensity-modulation coding scheme

30-km spontaneous-Brillouin distributed temperature sensor employing Simplex-coding and low optical input power
In this work we have applied optical pulse-coding technique to spontaneous Brillouin-based distributed temperature sensor (BDTS) based on the Landau-Placzek ratio (LPR). We experimentally show that pulse-coding applied to optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) based BDTS allows for a significant performance enhancement, avoiding the use of optical amplification. Actually, by using 127-bit Simplex coding, we achieved about 7 dB signal-to-noise ratio improvement at the receiver, allowing for temperature sensing over 30 km-distance with temperature/spatial resolution up to 5.0 K / 40 m using only 10 mW optical peak power at the fiber input
