Bayesian mixtures for large scale inference

Denti, Francesco ; Mira, Antonietta (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2020 ; 2020ECO001.

Bayesian mixture models are ubiquitous in statistics due to their simplicity and flexibility and can be easily employed in a wide variety of contexts. In this dissertation, we aim at providing a few contributions to current Bayesian data analysis methods, often motivated by research questions from biological applications. In particular, we focus on the development of novel Bayesian mixture...

A useful, delightful, and good reading : how Maria and Antonia Ponti conceived a library for women

Zonca, Elisabetta

In: Collections : A journal for museum and archives professionals, 2018, vol. 14, no. 3, p. 299–314

In the second half of 19th century, newborn Italy was invaded by innovative ideas supported by democratic, liberal, and socialist intellectuals who wanted to renew social life, economy, and moral values by spreading their ideas both in politics and in everyday life. Right-wing reaction used the same methods of communication and persuasion: the publication of journals and books and their...

Are local tax rates strategic complements or strategic substitutes?

Parchet, Raphaël

The identification of strategic interactions among local governments is typically plagued by endogeneity problems. This paper proposes an identification strategy that makes use of a multi-tier federal system. State-level fiscal reforms provide an arguably exogenous source of variation in tax rates of local jurisdictions. Moreover, state borders spatially bound the effects of state-level...

Eating the other : a semiotic approach to the translation of the culinary code = Il cibo dell’altro : un approccio semiotioco alla traduzione del codice alimentare

Stano, Simona ; Volli, Ugo (Dir.) ; Rocci, Andrea (Dir.) ; Danesi, Marcel (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2014 ; 2014COM003.

Eating and food are often compared to language and communication: anthropologically speaking, food is undoubtedly the primary need. Nevertheless, as Roland Barthes (1961) defends, this need is highly structured, and it involves substances, practices, habits, and techniques of preparation and consumption that are part of a system of differences in signification. In this sense we can speak about a...

LoDE - Learners of Digital Era : From the analysis of the current debate to an empirical study emphasising the learners’ perspective

Rapetti, Emanuele ; Cantoni, Lorenzo (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2012 ; 2012COM006.

Since the 1990s, a wide debate has been generated around the "learners-new media dichotomy", with a consequent journalistic reverberation. In particular, expressions like “digital natives”, “Y” generation, or “net-generation” contributed to diffuse the hypothesis that– since the 1980s – a generation of learners with typical characteristics related to their great familiarity with...
