111 Questions on Islam

Samir Khalil Samir, S.J. on Islam and the West : a Series of Interviews Conducted by Giorgio Paolucci and Camille Eid

By: Khalil Samir,Giorgio Paolucci,Camille Eid

The terrorist attack on the Twin Towers, the Afghan conflict, waves of migration, and the presence of twelve million Muslims in the European Union: these are just a few of the things that have helped contribute to a growing interest in Islam, its culture, and its followers. They awaken old and new questions about a religious, cultural, and political reality that 1,200,000,000 people consider themselves a part of. This book is the result of a series of extended interviews between an internationally acclaimed expert on Islam and two journalists who have dedicated themselves for many years to studying key themes of Islam and analyzing the possibility of coexistence between people of different faiths and cultures. How was Islam born? What does the Qur'an represent for Muslims? What relationships have developed between Islam and violence, between Islamic culture and the West? How can a real integration of Islam take place in European societies? What are the conditions for a constructive encounter between Christians and Muslims? Samir Khalil Samir--one of the world's leading experts on Islam--responds to these questions in an in-depth interview that can help one learn and judge for oneself, without prejudice or naivete. This is a contribution in the spirit of the realism needed in order to build adequate ways of living with those who have become our new neighbors.

Field Theory, Disorder and Simulations

By: Giorgio Parisi

This volume is a collection of lectures and selected papers by Giorgio Parisi on the subjects of Field Theory (perturbative expansions, nonperturbative phenomena and phase transitions), Disordered Systems (mainly spin glasses) and Computer Simulations (lattice gauge theories).The basic problems discussed in the Field Theory section concern the interplay between perturbation theory and nonperturbative phenomena which are present when one deals with infrared or ultraviolet divergences or with nonconvergent perturbative expansions. The section on Disordered Systems contains a complete discussion about the replica method and its probabilistic interpretation, and also includes a short paper on multifractals. In the Simulations section, there is a series of lectures devoted to the study of quantum chromodynamics and a review paper on simulations in complex systems.The works of Giorgio Parisi have repeatedly displayed a remarkable depth of originality and innovation, and have paved the way for new research in many areas. This personal selection of his lectures and papers, complete with an original introduction by him, undoubtedly serves as a vital reference book for physicists and mathematicians working in these fields.

Il confine orientale

Il confine orientale

By: Giorgio Federico Siboni

Il confine orientale può essere considerato come uno spazio in cui per secoli si sono intrecciate e sovrapposte molteplici frontiere, di natura politica, culturale, religiosa e infine nazionale. Un luogo non solo fisico, in quanto parte dell’Adriatico e in sostanza limine fra la penisola italiana e quella balcanica, ma anche cesura tra l’Europa occidentale e quella orientale in senso generico. Proprio in quanto superficie di rottura, il confine orientale rimane certamente un nodo caratteristico nella storia d’Italia. Collocato geograficamente dalle sponde del fiume Isonzo alla displuviale alpina orientale, racchiude il Carso (triestino e goriziano) e la penisola istriana sino a Fiume e al litorale dalmata con i suoi arcipelaghi di isole fino a Cattaro. In esatta sintonia con i numerosi contrasti confinari avvenuti in Europa fra la seconda metà del XIX secolo e la prima del XX, la storia del confine orientale italiano perdura come tentativo emblematico di fissare all’interno di una regione multiforme ed eterogenea per vicende e popoli una frontiera egemonica. Limite mutevole perché sempre fissato su termini ideologici e proprio per questo di perpetua ardua demarcazione. Nel più generale panorama storiografico sulla questione, il volume intende porsi quale strumento accessibile anche a un pubblico non specialistico interessato alle tematiche istriano-dalmate. Dalla pace di Campoformio ai fermenti irredentisti di fine Ottocento, dalle rivendicazioni seguite alla Grande guerra sino alla politica fascista e all’esodo giuliano, il saggio approfondisce lo scenario diplomatico internazionale con le sue implicazioni - prima e dopo - la Seconda guerra mondiale per seguire (grazie a una ricca messe di riferimenti bibliografici italiani e stranieri) l’evolversi delle contese per la definizione confinaria. L’autore considera i molti aspetti endogeni ed esogeni in costante azione nell’area considerata, giungendo all’epoca più recente, dopo la crisi della Jugoslavia, ed esaminando i rapporti con l’Unione europea, la cooperazione interstatale e la politica culturale in atto fra Italia, Slovenia e Croazia.

Elements of Synchrotron Light

For Biology, Chemistry, and Medical Research

By: Giorgio Margaritondo

This book is structured by two-level presentation including a simple descriptive treatment and slightly more in-depth discussions of specific topics. The first-level treatment covers the notions, terminology and techniques that are required to use a synchrotron facility. The book is therefore an ideal first step for all those beginning to use synchrotron light for their work or are considering it. The treated topics include the basic functioning mechanisms of synchrotrons and free electron lasers a description of sychrotron-based techniques in x-ray imaging and radiology, spectroscopy, microscopy and spectromicroscopy, EXAFS, crystallography and scattering, and microfabrication.

The Conservation and Structural Restoration of Architectural Heritage

By: Giorgio Croci

Structural analysis of architectural heritage is a new and growing branch of engineering. Knowledge of the history of architecture, material characteristics, instruments and techniques for investigations, diagnosis and restoration are all vital aspects for the correct understanding of structural behaviour and the ability to make correct decisions for repair and strengthening techniques. Designed for use by all professionals involved or interested in the preservation of monuments, the purpose of this book is to contribute to the development of new approaches in the area. Many of the examples examined, including the Colosseum, the Tower of Pisa, the Pyramid of Chephren, the Tilla Kari Mosque in Samarkand, the temples of Angkor and Konarak, the Santa Maria Vieja Cathedral, the domes of St Peter, Hagia Sophia, the Pantheon, St Ignatio de Loyola and St Charles, are the result of projects and studies carried out during Giorgio Croci's distinguished career. The book features numerous black and white photographs and illustrations by the author.

Deep Learning in Multi-step Prediction of Chaotic Dynamics

From Deterministic Models to Real-World Systems

By: Matteo Sangiorgio,Fabio Dercole,Giorgio Guariso

The book represents the first attempt to systematically deal with the use of deep neural networks to forecast chaotic time series. Differently from most of the current literature, it implements a multi-step approach, i.e., the forecast of an entire interval of future values. This is relevant for many applications, such as model predictive control, that requires predicting the values for the whole receding horizon. Going progressively from deterministic models with different degrees of complexity and chaoticity to noisy systems and then to real-world cases, the book compares the performances of various neural network architectures (feed-forward and recurrent). It also introduces an innovative and powerful approach for training recurrent structures specific for sequence-to-sequence tasks. The book also presents one of the first attempts in the context of environmental time series forecasting of applying transfer-learning techniques such as domain adaptation.

Psychosexual Counseling in Andrological Surgery

A Multidisciplinary Approach to the Patient and His Family

By: Elena Vittoria Longhi,Giorgio Franco,Fulvio Colombo

This book combines concise descriptions of the various andrological surgical interventions in the adolescent and adult with detailed analysis of the pre- and postoperative psychosexual counseling of the patient and his family that is appropriate to each procedure. It offers a multidisciplinary approach to the candidate for andrological surgery that reflects the everyday experiences of an andro-sexology team. Each chapter focuses on a particular surgical procedure. Succinct description of the disease and its epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment is followed by extensive discussion of all aspects of psychosexual relevance and the required counseling. Topics addressed include, for example, the impact of diagnosis, body image issues, fears relating to the surgical procedure and its outcome, the risk of excessive expectations and consequent disillusionment, relationship issues and communication problems, and the role of the sexologist. The analysis and guidance offered in this book will be of particular value to the less experienced andrologist and will assist in achieving postoperative patient satisfaction.

Solidarietà a tutto tondo

Le fondazioni sanitarie in Italia

By: Ugo Giorgio Pacifici Noja

Il CIRS – Centro Internazionale per la Ricerca Sociale nella scienza della salute presenta un nuovo volume sulle fondazioni italiane che si occupano di sanità: un’opera particolarmente innovativa, non trovandosi nulla di simile nel paesaggio scientifico italiano. Il libro contiene una prefazione del Magnifico Rettore dell’Università UniCamillus di Roma, Gianni Profita, una postfazione del Presidente dell’Ordine dei Medici di Roma, Antonio Magi, e risulta arricchita da un saggio critico del professor Ugo Giorgio Pacifici Noja. Per ogni fondazione sono indicati elementi quali l’anno di fondazione, i fondatori, la mission, gli organi istituzionali e il partenariato. Sono presenti l’indice analitico, dei nomi, delle fondazioni, dei luoghi e un siglario diretto a decriptare acronimi spesso misteriosi.

Miglianico nella storia e nel panorama letterario d'Abruzzo

By: Giorgio Pannunzio

Ricavare notizie su Miglianico significa sondare e scarnire documenti di vario tipo, i quali possono dare una visione solo parziale delle vicende storiche dell'abitato, e che comunque costringono ad allargare lo sguardo anche al circondario, con la speranza fondata di trovare qualche traccia che possa consentire deduzioni ulteriori. Perché - questo è il problema - il più delle volte certe notizie vanno acquisite inferendo dai documenti, e questo può rendere un cattivo servizio all'oggettività della ricerca. La presente ricerca, perciò, ha cercato di ripercorrere anche le strade già battute, nella consapevolezza che forse la cosa non avrebbe potuto risultare vana. E per tale motivo non sarà fuor di luogo mettere in rilievo che chi scrive si assume l'intera responsabilità per eventuali lacune e/o omissioni, impegnandosi sin da ora ad integrarle in seguito.
