2021, Quora Question Pairs Analysis
Project given by the "Text Analytics" course of the University of Pisa. The project was conducted in a team of 3 people, we deep dive into it with different algorithms/experiments to find the optimal solution to the problem along with the comparison of multiple models. The dataset used for this project is obtained from the Kaggle competition “Quora Question Pairs” and it is openly available on the website Kaggle.com. In our approach we implemented many classical machine learning models like logistic regressions, random forest and so on. Subsequently we configured BERT transformers with different model type. To run the code which we enclose in the submission, we used the Kaggle platform in order to get the most out of GPU Accelerator.

Sentience and Consciousness in Single Cells: How the First Minds Emerged in Unicellular Species2019 •
Since the outbreak of the economic and financial crisis in 2008 and the deepening of other dimensions of the multiple crisis of capitalism – like climate change and the environmental crisis as well as the crisis of political representation and social cohesion due to increasing polarization and social exclusion within many societies – neoliberalism is losing legitimacy and no longer serves the interests of those who invented it. Now, the contradictions and negative impacts of neoliberalism not only during the current crisis, but also during the years before are more obvious. In Latin America, this crisis of functioning and legitimacy has provoked protests and a search for alternatives since the 1990s and has led to important political and social changes. There, and elsewhere, experiences of anti-neoliberal struggles and criticisms by social movements and NGOs, intellectuals, (social) scientists and critical media have existed since the 1990s. Within both contexts, contested strategies were developed to deal with the multiple crisis of neoliberal capitalism. Besides business-as-usual strategies, some are more classical Keynesian and neo-developmentalist, others attempt to integrate environmental issues and argue for a Green Economy or Green Growth, and yet others prefer more authoritarian or even openly repressive strategies to overcome the crisis. In Europe, authoritarian ways to deal with the crisis currently predominate. A look at Latin America shows that particular strategies may be successful concerning the economic and financial crisis and also the crisis of inequality; however, those crisis strategies work only in so far as they deepen other crisis dimensions such as those of environment and climate. This is the broad terrain on which the concept of postneoliberalism emerged. It was introduced by progressive intellectuals and leftist governments in Latin America, especially in Brazil. Their rather political uses of the concept attempt to indicate the end of neoliberalism

Gesundheitsorientierte Führung: Wie durch Führung die Gesundheit der Mitarbeiter gefördert werden kann? Masterarbeit2016 •
n der sich kontinuierlich weiterentwickelnden Welt, in der wir heutzutage leben, ist der von dem Philosophen Herbert Spencer stammende und später vom Naturforscher Charles Darwin vor mehr als hundertfünfzig Jahren übernommene berühmte Ausdruck „Survival of the fittest“ („Überleben der Tauglichsten“) immer noch aktuell.1 Will ein Unternehmen mit der heutigen dynamischen Wirtschaftswelt Schritt halten, muss es sich ständig und schnell an die immer neu entstehenden Anforderungen anpassen. Die Globalisierung der Weltwirtschaft in den letzten Jahrzehnten hat einerseits zahlreiche Möglichkeiten für die Unternehmen eröffnet, aber anderseits auch enorm die Konkurrenz verstärkt. Wer erfolgreich sein will, muss unter anderem effizienter als die Konkurrenten produzieren, kreativer als sie denken, innovativere Strategien haben und bessere Entscheidungen treffen.

ARCHAEOZOOLOGY OF SOUTHWEST ASIA AND ADJACENT AREAS XIII2021 •
Due to their location at the meeting point of the three Old World’s continents—Africa, Asia, and Europe—Southwest Asia and its adjacent areas played a pivotal role in the history of humanity. They received successive waves of our species—Homo sapiens—out of Africa. Different processes in several areas of this large region brought about the transition to the Neolithic, and later on the urban revolution, the emergence of empires bringing with them important subsequent religious, cultural, social, and political consequences. Southwest Asia also played a major role in the interactions between East (Asia) and West (Europe) during the last two millennia. The unique importance of Southwest Asia in the history of humanity is strengthened by the, also related to its location, fact that this area is a hotspot of biodiversity, especially in mammals, which were—as everywhere in the world—tightly associated to the history of civilizations in a diversity of roles: game, providers of meat and milk, traded raw material, symbol of prestige and wealth, pets, etc.

"The Dead Have Been Awakened in the Service of the Living": Activist Community-Engaged Archaeology in Charleston, South Carolina2024 •
In 2013, 36 Ancestors of African descent were identified in an unmarked eighteenth-century burial ground during construction in Charleston, South Carolina. The site, later referred to as the Anson Street African Burial Ground, was buried beneath the growing city and forgotten in the centuries that followed. The ethical treatment of these ancestral remains was of paramount importance to our community. Historically, narratives relating to the lives of African descendant people in Charleston have been inadequately documented and shared. For these reasons, we engaged the local African American community in a multifaceted memorialization process. Together, we sought to sensitively ensure that the Ancestors’ identities and lives were fully explored according to the collective descendant community's wishes. To this end, we involved the community in researching and celebrating the Ancestors’ lives through arts and education programs and analyzed their and community members’ DNA to elucidate their ancestry. Our engagement initiatives increased access for all ages to archaeological, historical, and genetic research and encouraged active participation in the design of a permanent memorial. The Anson Street African Burial Ground Project provides a successful example of community-engaged activist archaeology focused on honoring the Ancestors and their descendants.
