Assessing the Reliability of Integrating global data with the GEOframe-NewAGE hydrological model

Interactive and Controlled Visual Content Generation

The rapid expansion of the creative economy highlights the need for generative tools that empower users to produce high-quality, engaging digital content efficiently. Although advances in deep learning have significantly reduced the barriers to content creation, generative models in the visual domain often lack intuitive control and customization mechanisms, limiting their applicability in artistic and professional workflows. This thesis explores novel methodologies to enhance user-driven int...

Code-Based Digital Signature Schemes: Construction, Cryptanalysis and Theoretical Foundations

In recent decades, numerous code-based digital signature schemes following the hash&sign paradigm have been proposed, often turning out to be insecure and demonstrating that the cryptographic community still seems far from a satisfactory solution in this area. The first major question we pose in this thesis is whether it is possible to construct, in this regard, a signature scheme that enjoys a solid security reduction and is also efficient. We discuss a proposal that combines some new id...

Towards adaptive neural networks: Bio-inspired principles for functional and structural plasticity

The human brain is one of the most complex systems. Millions of neurons interact, creating billions of synapses, which produce high levels of intelligence and reasoning. While modern Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) achieve high levels of performance in several tasks, the ability of the human brain (and natural brains in general) to adapt to new situations or learn multiple tasks remains unmatched. These capabilities of the natural brain come from the fact that several processes shape it ove...

Ecocritica letteraria o Antropologia del paesaggio? Andrea Zanzotto e Eugenio Turri: un'ipotesi di lettura

Il lavoro si concentra sull'analisi testuale dell'opera in versi di Andrea Zanzotto alla luce della sua lettura dell'opera e frequentazione dell'antropologo Eugenio Turri e dell'interesse della nascente ecocritica letteraria per il poeta di Pieve di Soligo.

Archivi su libro: libri iurium e politiche documentarie del comune di Vercelli (secoli XII-XV)

La mia tesi di dottorato intitolata «Archivi su libro: libri iurium e politiche documentarie del comune di Vercelli (secoli XII-XV)» ha l’obiettivo di esaminare il contesto amministrativo del comune di Vercelli a partire dalle vicende redazionali dei suoi libri iurium nei secoli centrali del Medioevo. La tesi si compone di due parti: la prima, strutturata in tre capitoli, è di carattere narrativo; la seconda è costituita da due appendici documentarie. Nella prima parte – dopo un iniziale capi...

Advancing Innovation in University Teaching: An Academic Development Model to Support Technology-Enhanced Assessment and Feedback Competencies and Practices

Thanks to the new measures adopted by the PNRR (section M4C1.2, Reform 2.2, Investment 2.1), the importance and necessity of enhancing, investing in and strengthening educational development, in order to promote real technological progress in school and university systems, became evident. Section M4C1.3 (Investment 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4) of the above-mentioned measure highlights the importance to care for a development of the competences of students who, welcomed in a stimulating and structured le...

Queering Law and Artificial Intelligence: Towards a Technology Oriented Principle of Equality

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly failing minorities across multiple domains, including government welfare decision-making, airport security control, policing and criminal justice, online content moderation, hiring processes, and healthcare decisions. These failures disproportionately impact individuals based on ethnicity, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, socioeconomic status and other intersecting identities. While AI is frequently described as a «mirror» that reflects human ...
