La mobilitazione dei familiari dei desaparecidos in Argentina e Messico: tra terrorismo di stato e violenza criminale

Questo contributo mira ad analizzare, attraverso una prospettiva storico-sociale, la traiettoria, i momenti salienti e l’impatto della mobilitazione dei familiari delle vittime di sparizioni forzate in due contesti sociopolitici diversi ma caratterizzati dall’utilizzo sistematico della violenza: la dittatura militare in Argentina (1976-1983), con un focus anche sul periodo democratico successivo, e la “Guerra al narcotraffico” in Messico (2006-2018).
L’unité de la vallée du Nil: les Égyptiens et le Soudan 1898–1956

The complicated relations between Egypt and Great Britain concerning Sudan invite an examination of the influences that the dealings of the Condominium powers in Sudan were able to exercise over the formation of modern Sudan. The specific purpose of this article is to clarify one of the aspects of this problem by examining, over the long term, the evolution of the Egyptian discourse on Sudan. From the Egyptian point of view, Sudan was clearly exploited; it was at the same time an issue of rivalry with the British and an issue of power. Furthermore, it was, at the time of the Egyptian monarchy, a central element of the identity of the ruling power, a kind of heritage to defend in memory of the founder of the ruling dynasty, Mehemet Ali.
Cosmology with future large-scale surveys

New challenges for large galaxy surveys:
Forthcoming galaxy surveys will probe volumes much larger than current ones, and measuring galaxy clustering at these scales will represent a new challenge that has not been properly analyzed so far.
This project aims at developing a theoretical understanding and a pipeline to maximize the scientific output of forthcoming galaxy surveys, by modeling and making available to the scientific community a way to fully use the cosmological volumes probed, without introducing any bias due to an incorrect treatment of large-scale galaxy clustering.

This project plans to develop and apply an improved formalism to data from current and future galaxy surveys to perform precise cosmological tests using galaxy clustering analyses.
We will also perform an accurate forecasting of performances of instruments in different configurations and for different observing strategies; this will help defining and optimizing the survey strategy and final implementation of next generation experiments like Euclid and the SKA.

The interaction between the researcher and the host institution will allow the development of a formalism for describing and measuring the large-scale galaxy bispectrum, a fundamental ingredient of next generation measurements from cosmological surveys.

Finally, we will investigate the optimal way to combine two future experiments of great interest for the European scientific community: Euclid and the SKA.

CFD investigation of nanofluid effects (cooling performance and pressure drop) in mini-channel heat sink

Abstract For improvement in information technology (IT), removing heat from electrical devices is an important factor, and current activities try to investigate (numerically, experimentally) new methods of thermal load managing. Mini-channel liquid cooling is one of the candidates for this purpose. Nanofluid as an innovative heat-transfer fluid was used in mini-channel heat sink. Modeling analyzed in this study is a mini-channel heat sink with 20 × 20 mm bottom. For this purpose, five nanoparticle volume fractions namely 0.8, 1.6, 2.4, 3.2 and 4% in five inlet velocities for both types of nanoparticle containing TiO 2 and SiC were used. Furthermore, effect of a nanoparticle volume fraction on the convective heat transfer coefficient was investigated in different Reynolds numbers. Modeling results were compared with reference analytical calculations. In addition according to the modeling results, correlated equations were obtained for Nusselt number and friction factor, and its accuracies were acceptable.
Academic Success and Initial Labor Market Outcomes for Pharmacy Graduates

Purpose: This study examines the relationship between academic success and labor market outcomes among graduating pharmacy students. Unlike previous studies, this paper characterizes labor market outcome not only as an individual's starting salary, but also whether or not the student had a position secured at the time of graduation, whether or not a signing bonus was received, and the setting in which (s)he will practice.&#x0D; Methods: A standard exit survey was administered to graduating Doctor of Pharmacy students at a Midwestern, public university within two weeks of graduation. The relationship between academic success and initial labor market outcome was assessed using cross-tabulations, chi-square and Fisher exact tests.&#x0D; Results: There were no significant relationships between grade point averages and signing bonuses, starting salaries or employment offers. Students with higher grade point averages were less likely to work in chain community pharmacies, and more likely to work in a hospital or other health-system setting.&#x0D; Conclusions: The relationships between academic and direct measures of labor market outcomes (salary and bonuses) were not necessarily positive, as standard economic theory predicts. Rather, the relationship is indirect, as it appears that students with greater academic success obtained employment in more clinical settings, which carry a different mix of pecuniary and non-pecuniary benefits.&#x0D; Type: Original Research
Cryogenic rare-event observatory with surface sensitivity

CROSS will set the grounds for large-scale experiments searching for neutrinoless double beta decay with zero background at an exposure scale of ~1 tonne x year and with very high energy resolution – about 1.5‰ – in the region of interest. These features will enable searching for lepton number violation with unprecedented sensitivity, penetrating in prospect the direct-ordering region of the neutrino masses. CROSS will be based on arrays of TeO2 and Li2MoO4 bolometers enriched in the isotopes of interest 130Te and 100Mo, respectively. There are strong arguments in favor of these choices, such as the high double beta transition energy of these candidates, the easy crystallization processes of TeO2 and Li2MoO4, and the superior bolometric performance of these compounds in terms of energy resolution and intrinsic purity. The key idea in CROSS is to reject surface events (a dominant background source) by pulse-shape discrimination, obtained by exploiting solid-state-physics phenomena in superconductors. The surfaces of the crystals will be coated by an ultrapure superconductive aluminium film, which will act as a pulse-shape modifier by delaying the pulse development in case of shallow energy depositions, exploiting the long quasi-particle life-time in aluminium. This method will allow getting rid of the light detectors used up to now to discriminate surface alpha particles, simplifying a lot the bolometric structure and achieving the additional advantage to reject also beta surface events, which unfortunately persist as an ultimate background source if only alpha particles are tagged. The intrinsic modularity and the simplicity of the read-out will make CROSS easily expandable. The CROSS program is focused on an intermediate experiment with 90 crystals, installed underground in the Canfranc laboratory, which will be not only extremely competitive in the international context but also a decisive step to demonstrate the enormous potential of CROSS in terms of background.
The augmented prophylactic antibiotic could be more efficacious in patients undergoing transrectal prostate biopsy: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Although frequent use of prophylactic antibiotics for patients undergoing transrectal prostate biopsy (TRPB), incidences of urinary tract infection (UTI) and bacterial resistance are still increasing. We evaluated the efficacy of augmented prophylactic antibiotics in patients undergoing TRPB.A systematic search of Embase(®), PubMed(®), and the Cochrane Library was executed to identify all eligible studies that compared the effects of augmented antibiotic prophylaxis (combined drugs) with single antibiotic prophylaxis on behalf of patients undergoing TRPB. Outcomes qualified in this review included bacteriuria, bacteremia, drug-resistant bacteria on urine culture, drug-resistant bacteria on blood culture, fever, UTI, sepsis, and hospitalization.A total of eight publications were identified and included in the review, including three randomized controlled trials with 659 patients and five case-control studies involving 3404 patients. All outcomes, including bacteriuria [relative risk (RR) 4.25, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.96-9.22, P = 0.0003], bacteremia (RR 4.96, 95 % CI 2.31-10.67, P < 0.0001), drug-resistant bacteriuria (RR 3.52, 95 % CI 1.41-8.78, P = 0.007), drug-resistant bacteremia (RR 4.94, 95 % CI 2.17-11.24, P = 0.0001), fever (RR 2.75, 95 % CI 1.63-4.62, P = 0.0001), UTI (RR 3.76, 95 % CI 2.57-5.48, P < 0.00001), and hospitalization (RR 3.90, 95 % CI 2.64-5.75, P < 0.00001) significantly favored the augmented antibiotic use.One additional type of antibiotic (usually one single dose) added to the basic antibiotic prophylaxis modality, defined as augmented prophylaxis, could contribute to the reduction in severe infection and drug resistance, particularly in high-risk patients.
Interdisciplinary concepts for municipal wastewater treatment and resource recovery. tackling future challenges

Wastewater treatment and management in Europe has a large potential for growth; however needs to be supported by education of a new generation of interdisciplinarily trained wastewater professionals able to face future challenges and implement wastewater-related directives in practice. TreatRec, with the participationof two academic partners (ICRA-Catalan Institute for Water Research and University of Girona) and two non-academic (ATKINS and AQUAFIN) identifies several pertinent technological gaps and knowledge needs around which we have built a research programme. TreatRec involves equally academia and industry with a clear aim of producing a group of young researchers capable of conducting high quality research, but also able to address industrial and societal needs and implement wastewater-related directives in practice. The five researchers will conduct their scientific projects in an environment that combines industrial excellence in the development, design, construction and management of wastewater treatment systems, with complementary academic excellence in a) hypothesis-driven research involving the improvement/upgrading of state-of-the art technologies and the deepening the understanding of fate and removal of emerging contaminants in wastewater treatment systems and in b) applied research involving the development of decision support systems which allow for the encapsulation of knowledge for further use in decision-making processes. As a general goal, academic and non-academic partners of TreatRec,  including WWTP operators, engineers responsible for the design and a water authority which has experience in water policy implementation, a set of recommendations will be generated to provide guidance for decision-makers on upgrading wastewater treatment plants for future challenges such as microcontaminants removal and nutrient recovery from a sustainable perspective.
Optimized cockpit windshield for large diameter business aircraft

The proposed project addresses the topic “Optimised cockpit windshield for large diameter business aircraft”. The main objectives are i) to optimise the design of aircraft windshield and surrounding structure in terms of technical performances (low weight, high capacity to bear loads, reduced noise) and operational performances (low recurring costs, easy maintainability) and ii) to optimise heating power consumption for anti-icing. 
Other objectives are:
- To develop models to support windshield design and to analyse power consumption for anti-icing and defogging; 
- To propose five concepts based on different assembly techniques and transparencies;
- To support certification with heating power density lower than the currently used value of 70 W/dm2; 
- To develop a front aircraft demonstrator and to validate the selected concept; 
- To assess environmental impact of the proposed technologies;
- To set the ground for future exploitation of the project results. 
The project starts with the definition of specifications and a review of latest emerging technologies to propose five improved window concepts. Models and simulation capabilities will be developed and validated for the optimisation of the mechanical stream on one hand and the heating power stream on the other hand. 
A trade-off solutions between the five concepts will be proposed. 
A full scale front aircraft demonstrator will be developed to assess the performances of the selected optimised solution and its compliance with expected mechanical qualification targets.
Two partners will collaborate in the project: Company Saint-Gobain Sully, a long-time supplier of transparencies in the aerospace market and University Savoie Mont-Blanc through two research laboratories specialised in modelling.
Differential Effects: Are the Effects Studied by Psychologists Really Linear and Homogeneous?

Linear regression and its variants like analysis of variance are arguably the most widely used statistical techniques in psychology. By using linear regression it is merely assumed rather than empirically tested that the effects of the predictor variables are linear and homogeneous across the distribution of the dependent variable. This is problematic because it biases a scientist’s reasoning and hinders possible practical and theoretical insights. Thus an important question to ask is: Are the effects studied by psychologists really linear and homogeneous? Generalized additive models (GAMs) and quantile regression can be used to pursue this question. Benefits of complementing linear regression with these approaches include the ability to tailor actions on the specific individual in practice and the opportunity to gain more advanced scientific knowledge, for example about non-linear effects. The use of GAMs and quantile regression is furthermore empirically demonstrated in an analysis of risk-seeking and criminal peer networks as predictors of violent crime in a representative sample of German youth (N = 44.610). Practical and theoretical consequences of the results are discussed. Psychological science could immensely benefit from studying non-linear and heterogeneous effects.
Advanced capacity and demand management for european network performance optimization

CADENZA aims at developing a detailed trajectory broker concept for the European network, incorporating advanced demand-capacity balancing mechanisms. It builds upon the findings of the 2019 Jane’s-ATC-Innovation-award-winning SESAR Exploratory Research project COCTA, as well as upon latest industry developments. The trajectory broker will balance capacity and demand through a coordinated capacity provision process and collaborative trajectory management (including a novel trajectory charging scheme). 

CADENZA covers all areas of capacity provision (en-route, terminal area, and airport) as well as all temporal levels (strategic, pre-tactical and tactical). Based on previous research we expect significant improvements in cost-efficiency as well as positive impacts on other key performance indicators, especially delays.

The CADENZA concept will be thoroughly validated, using mathematical models and comprehensive real-world trajectory data. Sensitivity analysis will incorporate non-nominal conditions as well as different assumptions with respect to the overall air traffic management framework, e.g., different levels of flexibility in capacity provision. Moreover, a high degree of stakeholder involvement – including an industry expert panel and stakeholder workshops – ensures practical relevance.
Interactions in space systems design within a Concurrent Engineering facility

Concurrent Engineering (CE) in the space sector is an effective collaborative development approach for space mission architectures or system design. It involves each appropriate discipline and follows a structured process which guides the team through the early phases of the product life-cycle. Furthermore, integrated design models and domain specific tools support the engineers in generating and exchanging design parameters. As is often misunderstood, Concurrent Engineering is not a design optimization performed by advanced software, but is a team effort where the product development is supported by tools but decisions still made by people. During feasibility studies of space craft design within the “Concurrent Engineering Facility (CEF)” of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) there is a certain set-up of domains each dealing with their respective hard- and software tools. Within the present paper the cases of human-to-human and human-to-machine interaction during the iterative design process is discussed. The focus is set on the interaction between and within the different parties during both the plenary and off-line design sessions. The importance of guided communication and the value of specific and common tool utilization is pointed out. Furthermore, the challenges, constraints, potential improvements and stumbling blocks are identified when dealing with a heterogeneous team of experts in such early design phases.
Afinidades e Diferenças: Algumas Considerações sobre a Política da Consideração (Parte 2)

Resumo Este artigo é a segunda parte de nossa discussão sobre a “política da consideração” proposta por José Kelly e Marcos Matos, e sua relação com as nossas teorias da maestria. Na primeira parte, publicada no número anterior deste periódico, analisamos as premissas dos autores e reinterpretamos os dados etnográficos nos quais estas se sustentam. Nesta segunda parte, reivindicamos o lugar central dos esquemas relacionais da maestria na etnologia indígena, e traçamos sua pertinência em diferentes contextos etnográficos. Em seguida, nós nos voltamos para a região do médio Juruá-Purus e dos povos Arawá e Katukina que habitam a região para oferecer uma análise diferente da suposta ‘alternância’ e ‘mutualidade’ que vigorariam na região segundo a ótica da política da consideração. Por fim, refletimos sobre a importância política da figura do ‘mestre’ ou ‘dono’ nas relações dos povos indígenas com os Estados-nações em que vivem.
Reducing the ecological footprint of ports with econcrete®’s bio-enhancing concrete technologies

The last few decades have seen rapid proliferation of hard artificial structures (e.g., offshore energy, port infrastructure, aquaculture, coastal defences) in the marine environment (ocean sprawl). 70% of coastal and marine infrastructure (CMI) is concrete, yet concrete is known as a poor substrate for marine flora and fauna to thrive. Cement, the key ingredient of concrete, is the source of 8% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions. Due to a lack of available concrete alternatives, CMI is designed and built with little or no ecological consideration, leading to high ecological footprint of structures like ports and coastal defence schemes often resulting in environmental penalties (€900K per acre or mitigation costs through via artificial reefs) and a prolonged permitting process (<1 year). ECOncrete® has created and validated a win-win solution for both thriving ecosystems and high performing concrete structures. The science-based innovative technology is designed to encourage the development of rich and diverse marine life and natural processes like calcification and photosynthesis (that uptake CO2 ) as an integral part of CMI such as seawalls, breakwaters, and urban waterfronts, providing highly durable, bioenhancing concrete solutions and Climate Change resilience. The LIVING PORTS project is composed of an interdisciplinary consortium of 4 partners, each chosen to actively participate in the de-risking and industrialization of ECOncrete’s® revolutionary technology. The project shall act as a first and crucial step toward a fundamental change in the way the CMI industry currently operates, shifting from obsolete “gray” construction materials and designs, to innovative science-based technologies that foster ecological, estructural, and socio-economic value.
