The Cases of the Old City of Hebron, the Four Medieval Monuments in Kosovo and Metohija and the Temple of Preah Vihear

World Heritage Sites in Danger is chosen as a leading category of cultural heritage, taking into consideration that it is the object of claims between States. These two aspects are the ground for political claims on contested territories. Specific cases of contested religious heritage rooted in contested territories, such as the Palestinian-Israeli, Kosovo-Serbian and Cambodian-Thailand cases, are the object of the current examination. In particular, three elements will be taken into consider...

The troubled relationship between neuroscience and criminal responsibility: an overview and case study

Criminal behavior and the assessment of legal insanity have always been topics of primary concern for the justice system and, at the same time, of great interest to mental health experts. Neuroscience has given mental health specialists an incredible tool to investigate the brain, but the use of neuroimaging techniques in criminal trials has been received with a significant degree of resistance. This thesis illustrates an overview of the techniques involved in the study of the brain that gave...

Neurophysiological assessments of low-level and high-level interdependencies between auditory and visual systems in the human brain

This dissertation investigates the functional interplay between visual and auditory systems and its degree of experience-dependent plasticity. To function efficiently in everyday life, we must rely on our senses, building complex hierarchical representations about the environment. Early sensory deprivation, congenital (from birth) or within the first year of life, is a key model to study sensory experience and the degree of compensatory reorganizations (i.e., neuroplasticity). Neuroplasticity...

Public Perceptions of ‘the Other’s’ Heritage: Ottoman Heritage in Greece and Byzantine Heritage in Turkey

The relationship between cultural heritage and identity has long been acknowledged. Due to this relevance, utilizing past and its material remains for political purposes has been a common practice for the states; a phenomenon that has its roots in antiquity and is still actively used. Modern states have been active agents in this process by defining what constitutes their ‘national identity’ and ‘national heritage’. This selection brings together the exclusion of the pasts and their remains t...

Optimizing complex networks models

Analyzing real-world networks ultimately amounts at com- paring their empirical properties with the outcome of a proper, statistical model. The far most common, and most useful, ap- proach to define benchmarks rests upon the so-called canoni- cal formalism of statistical mechanics which has led to the defi- nition of the broad class of models known as Exponential Ran- dom Graphs (ERGs). Generally speaking, employing a model of this family boils down at maximizing a likelihood func- tion tha...
