Animal diseases (zoonoses) and illegal trade of young animal in the Alps-Adriatic region (welfare of animals)

Diseases that are transmitted from animals to humans are defined as zoonoses. The spread of these diseases in the human population is often linked to human activity, and the illegal trade of pet animals is an important route of transmission of zoonoses. In fact, animals bought on the black market may come from infected areas, and not be checked from the health point of view. Friuli Venezia Giulia and Carinthia are both transit as destination routes of the illegal trade of pet animals coming from Eastern European countries. _x000D_

The Bio-Crime Project wants to reduce the zoonotic risk through the development of a joint strategy of action, against the illegal trade of pets, as an integrated part of prevention programs relating to human health and to the health and welfare of animals. _x000D_
_x000D_
The Bio-Crime Project would like to implement certain activities in order to reduce illegal pet trade, including: 1. Training courses for public officers, 2. The development of joint operative protocols, 3. The implementation of a digital web platform for sharing data, 4. Epidemiological surveillance of the confiscated animals, 5. Education projects of the citizens of the two Regions.
LA TRANSIZIONE FALLITA. DIECI ANNI DI POLITICA MOZAMBICANA (2009-2019)

Per diverso tempo, dopo la firma degli Accordi Generali di Pace (AGP) a Roma, il 4 ottobre del 1992, fra il governo mozambicano guidato dal FRELIMO (Fronte di Liberazione del Mozambico) e la RENAMO (Resistenza Nazionale del Mozambico), una buona parte della comunità internazionale e accademica aveva considerato il Mozambico come un raro caso di successo in Africa. La realtà si è rivelata assai più complessa rispetto alle previsioni iniziali, nonostante l’illusione di un paese pacificato e sulla via di una democrazia stabile sia stata propagandata a lungo, anche a causa di un incremento medio annuo del PIL pari al 7,2% fra il 2000 e il 20161. Questo studio offre una riflessione su come la “transizione” dalla Prima alla Seconda Repubblica – ossia da uno Stato socialista con un regime a partito unico a uno democratico e multipartitico, non abbia seguito il percorso che era stato auspicato e previsto durante tutti gli anni Novanta e per buona parte del nuovo secolo. Al contrario, vi è stata una deriva autoritaria associata a nuovi conflitti interni. Non si è trattato di un fenomeno improvviso, ma costante, a partire dal 2009 circa fino a oggi, come tutti i principali indicatori su democrazia, libertà di espressione, diritti umani evidenziano.
Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices Regarding HIV and TB Among Homeless People in Tehran, Iran

Homeless people are at high risk of HIV and tuberculosis (TB) infection due to living in poor sanitary conditions and practicing high-risk behavior. The aim of this study is to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of homeless people in Tehran regarding TB and HIV.Using a convenience sampling, we performed a cross-sectional study on homeless people in Tehran from June to August 2012. Participants aged 18-60 years having at least 10 days of homelessness in the preceding month to the study period were included. All required data were collected through face-to-face interviews conducted using a researcherdesigned questionnaire. Each score in KAP of TB and HIV was separately divided by the maximum score and multiplied by 100 to attain percentage scores. The mean scores were compared using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and student's t test. A Tukey test was used for post hoc analysis and two-by-two comparisons.In this study, 593 participants consisting of 513 men and 80 women were included. The mean age of the participants was 41.74 ± 0.45 years. Moreover, the total mean score of KAP toward HIV was 79.24 (95% CI: 77.36, 81.12), 57.13 (95% CI: 55.12, 59.14), and 21.14 (95% CI: 18.35, 23.93), respectively. The total mean score of knowledge and practice regarding TB was 62.04 (95% CI: 59.94, 64.14) and 42.57 (95% CI: 40.36, 44.78), respectively.Although a relatively acceptable knowledge was detected in this high-risk population, practices regarding TB and HIV showed some weaknesses. Developing special programs to improve the healthy behavior of this population is highly recommended.
Knitting early modern europe: materials, manufacture and meaning

The development of knitting was a key technological innovation for which there is little published scientific evidence. There are more than 100 knitted caps from the early modern era in museum collections worldwide - an astonishing number given the paucity of extant garments from the period. Despite their diverse locations, they have remarkable similarities in their materials and manufacture which illustrate trade in knitted caps as consumer goods in the emerging early modern European marketplace, demonstrate how knitting created new fashions for men indicative of rank and status, and facilitate theory on the cultural significance of the hat as an essential male accessory. My preliminary study of the caps tracks clear patterns in the data: five typologies are identifiable and when contextualised with pictorial and documentary sources, their cultural significance as functional and fashionable men’s wear is clear. I believe the caps’ potential as indicators of the development and growth of knitting technology is valuable yet vulnerable. The caps are fragile and deteriorating, a process accelerated by each viewing, for which there is pressing and unsatisfied demand. I propose immediate rigorous scientific study (radiocarbon dating, microscopic examination, x-radiography, fibre and dye identification, and degradation analysis) and interdisciplinary research into contemporary sources to chart an economic map of early knitting, to define terminology for further scholarly work, and to develop theory about men’s headwear in the 16th century. An online database will make the data accessible to scholars, museum pedagogues and craftspeople, who demand access to the caps. Journal articles, practical workshops and social media will disseminate my conclusions and my development of theory. I will give voice to an eloquent body of evidence about early modern knitting technology, which threatens to be silenced forever if scientific analysis is delayed.
Contrasting effects of prenatal life stress on blood pressure and body mass index in young adults

Various environmental stressors in pregnancy have been reported to affect high blood pressure (BP) in adult offspring. However, few studies have examined the effect of prenatal maternal psychological stress on offspring BP and BMI in early adulthood.In 957 Raine cohort participants, regression analyses were used to examine the association between the count of maternal life stress events experienced during pregnancy and offspring BP and BMI at age 20.Prenatal life stress associated positively with offspring BMI but inversely with SBP. After adjustment for confounders each additional prenatal life stress event reduced offspring SBP by 0.66 mmHg (P = 0.013) in those with an average BMI and lowered the odds of systolic (pre)hypertension by 17% (odds ratio = 0.83; P = 0.008). The inverse relationship between prenatal life stress and adult SBP was stronger in offspring with higher BMI. On the contrary, each unit increase in prenatal life stress score predicted a BMI increase of 0.37 kg/m (P = 0.022). Longitudinal analysis showed similar effects of prenatal life stress for offspring BMI from age 8 and SBP from age 14.This study has shown that maternal stress in pregnancy significantly associated with BMI from early childhood, but contrary to our hypothesis predicted lower resting SBP and lower odds of systolic (pre)hypertension in young adult offspring. The effect of prenatal life stress on BP was accentuated by a higher BMI. Fetal programming events as a result of prenatal stress may underpin some of these relationships.

The Role of Education and Learning by Experience in the Performance of Microenterprises

Abstract This paper evaluates the role of human capital in the productivity performance of Mexican microenterprises by estimating productivity functions using standard econometric techniques. Two sources of human capital are analyzed: formal education acquired at educational institutions and business experience of the entrepreneurs. The data is originated from a sample of microenterprises operating in challenged neighborhoods of the Mexican province of Baja California. The estimated productive structure of the enterprises in the sample and the effects of human capital, suggest that this source of capital plays a role not only in terms of determining the productivity level across enterprises but also in enhancing long run productivity, bringing some implications about the sources of productivity available in these enterprises and the orientation of the entrepreneurship policies for developing countries.

Intracellular phosphate reception and signaling: a novel homeostatic system with roles for an orphan organelle?

Cells face a phosphate challenge. Growth requires a minimal concentration of this limiting resource because intracellular phosphate (Pi) is a compound of nucleic acids and modifies most cellular proteins. At the same time, cytosolic Pi may not rise much, because elevated cytosolic Pi can stall metabolism. It reduces the free energy that nucleotide triphosphate hydrolysis can provide to drive energetically unfavorable reactions. 

I will undertake a pioneering study to elucidate how cells strike this critical balance. We will identify a novel pathway for intracellular phosphate reception and signaling (INPHORS) and explore the role of acidocalcisomes in it. These studies may identify a key function of these very poorly understood organelles, provide one reason for their evolutionary conservation and elucidate a novel homeostatic system of critical importance for cellular metabolism. 

We recently provided first hints that a dedicated pathway for sensing and signaling intracellular Pi might exist, which regulates multiple systems for import, export and acidocalcisomal storage of Pi, such that cytosolic Pi homeostasis is guaranteed 1. Yeast cells will serve as an powerful model system for exploring this pathway and its physiological relevance. Yeast Pi transport and storage proteins are known. Furthermore, we can establish cell-free in vitro systems that reconstitute Pi-regulated transport and storage processes, providing an excellent basis for identifying signaling complexes and studying their dynamics. 
We will (A) generate novel tools to uncouple, individually manipulate and measure key parameters for the INPHORS pathway; (B) identify its components, study their interactions and regulation; (C) elucidate how acidocalcisomes are targeted by INPHORS and how they contribute to Pi homeostasis; (D) study the crosstalk between INPHORS and Pi-regulated transcriptional responses; (E) test the relevance of INPHORS for Pi homeostasis in mammalian cells.
Europe at a Crossroads: Failed Ideas, Fictional Facts, and Fatal Consequences

The crisis of the European Monetary Union has revealed the weakness and the fragility of the European integration process. The paper examines the institutional changes which are at the root of the instability. What are the driving forces behind the introduction of the euro? What role do theoretical considerations play in this process? What influence on European integration has been exerted by neoliberal beliefs and convictions? Relying on an approach that combines basic insights of Gunnar Myrdal with Karl Polanyi's idea of a “double movement,” it concentrates on the institutional transformation that is at the basis of the European integration process. The relationship between (misleading) ideas and facts is at the center of the study. It examines the influence of ideas and theoretical models on European integration, the Single Market Program, the Maastricht process, the increasing imbalances since the introduction of the euro, and the strategies applied during the recent crisis.
PECULIAR SURFACE SIZE-EFFECTS IN <font>NaCl</font> NANO-CRYSTALS

While the major target of this contribution was the stabilization of the theoretically predicted CsCl form of the sodium chloride which could exhibit a singular and peculiar metallic behavior, this study took advantage of the nano-scaled aspect of the synthesized NaCl to report for the first time in the literature, the size dependence of various thermodynamic parameters of nano-sized NaCl crystals. More accurately, size effect on vaporization temperature of NaCl nano-crystals has been conducted on NaCl nanoparticles exhibiting a net shape anisotropy. The investigated nano-scaled NaCl particles were micrometric in the basal plane while nanometric in the transversal direction. An obvious size variation of the vaporization temperature is observed experimentally in agreement with the theoretical predictions. Specifically, the vaporization temperature T V decreases from almost 1680 (bulk) to 1290 K (nano-sized): a relative decrease of nearly 23.5%. The T V ≈ T(χ) size dependence where χ is the relative molar concentration of the initial NaCl precursor was found to follow the form T V (° C ) ≈ 750.7χ 2 - 340.1χ + 1002.
Breaks and continuities in intensive mothering on Facebook. the case of <i>Malasmadres</i> and <i>Pequefelicidad</i>

Motherhood as the key to femininity did not appear until the eighteenth century, and it was not until the beginning of the twentieth century, together with the appearance of mass media, that the ideal of the “perfect mother” began to spread through the model of intensive mothering. The main objective of this work is to analyse, from a gender perspective, the messages and discourses on how to be a mother that are transmitted through Facebook. For this, two Spanish Facebook pages that discuss motherhood, Pequefelicidad and Malasmadres, have been selected. A total of 30 publications on these pages between the months of January and March 2019 have been analysed, and the results reveal that the intensive mothering model continues to be reproduced, despite progress in gender equality.
Theoretical Study on the Solvation of C60 Fullerene by Ionic Liquids

The solvation of C60 fullerene by 24 different ionic liquids belonging to the imidazolium, piperazinium, and cholinium families was analyzed from a nanoscopic viewpoint using classic molecular dynamics simulations and Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods. Charge transfer between the ions and fullerene were computed by DFT. Force field parametrization used in molecular dynamics simulations was corrected to reproduce DFT ion-C60 interaction mechanism. Structural, dynamic, and energetic factors were analyzed to infer the role of the studied ions on the behavior of fullerenes in ionic liquids. The intermolecular ion-C60 interaction energy controls the behavior of these fluids, leading to prevailing roles by interaction mechanism through the π system of C60 nanoparticle, both for anions and cations.
Variable-gain amplifier with high linearity as to gain variations

A variable-gain amplifier includes an amplifier stage (17); an attenuating network (14a, 14b) receiving an input signal (V I ) ; a plurality of transconductance stages (15), connected between respective nodes (14a1, 14a2, ..., 14aN, 14b1, 14b2, ..., 14bN) of the attenuating network (14a, 14b) and the amplifier stage (17), wherein each of the transconductance stages (15) has a differential circuit (20), configured to supply differential currents (I D1 , I D2 ) to the amplifier stage (17); and a gain-control circuit (16) for controlling the transconductance stages (15) according to an electrical control quantity (V c ). Each of the transconductance stages (15) further includes a current-divider circuit (21) associated to the differential circuit (20) and controlled by the gain-control circuit (16) so as to divide the differential currents (I D1 , I D2 ) between the amplifier stage (17) and a dispersion line (33) proportionally to the control quantity (V C ).
Effect of mangiferin, a naturally occurring glucoxylxanthone, on fear memory in rats

Mangiferin (1,3,6,7-tetrahydroxy-2-[3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxan-2-yl] -xanthen-9-one, CAS 4773-96-0), a naturally occurring glucosylxanthone, is widely distributed in higher plants and a constituent of folk medicine. In the present study the effect of systemic administration of mangiferin on behavioural outcomes of neurological function in normal rats was investigated. A single intraperitoneal injection of mangiferin (10, 50 and 100 mg/kg body weight) immediately post-training produced an impairment of long-term memory for aversive training and a reduced freezing in a dose independent manner, when given immediately post-training. The administration of mangiferin 6 h post-training did not affect fear memory. The results indicate that mangiferin might induce deficits of emotionally motivated memory.
Relationships between arc maturity and Cu–Mo–Au porphyry and related epithermal mineralization at the Cenozoic Arasbaran magmatic belt

Abstract The actual study deals with the temporal and geochemical evolution of the arc magmatism and the Cu–Mo–Au mineralization in the Neo-Tethyan belt of the Arasbaran region in northwestern Iran. The magmatic activity in this section of the Neo-Tethyan belt periodically occurred from Upper Cretaceous to Quaternary. The Cretaceous magmatic rocks are calc-alkaline to tholeiitic in nature without any mineralization in the Arasbaran region. Cenozoic magmatism begins with alkaline (shoshonitic) volcanism at an early stage and is followed by alkaline to calc-alkaline plutonism. No significant mineralization is associated with the early stage alkaline magmatism and the most porphyry and epithermal mineralizations are related to the late stage adakite-like, calc-alkaline magmatism. The subsequent, post-collisional alkaline magmatism follows in the Plio-Quaternary. Magmatism and the related mineralization decrease in age from the north to the south, and the mineralization changes in time and space from a Cu–Mo to a Cu–Au association. Mineralization stages at the Arasbaran region consist of (a) Upper Oligocene to Lower Miocene (~ 20 Ma) Cu–Mo porphyry and intrusion mineralization, and (b) Upper Miocene (~ 10 Ma), Cu–Au porphyry and epithermal Cu–Au mineralization. Although the exact timing of the porphyry mineralization relative to the final collision is unclear, the presence of most porphyry and epithermal mineralizations in the Upper Oligocene to Upper Miocene, post-collisional, adakite-like intrusions, is related to crustal thickening and delamination of lower crust suggesting that they formed at a late stage of the Arasbaran magmatic arc evolution following a major volcanic stage in the Eocene. Mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of the mineralized porphyry bodies in Arasbaran region indicate that significant amounts of hornblende was fractionated prior to plagioclase crystallization as a consequence of high magmatic water contents. In contrast, the earlier, barren plagioclase-phyric magmas were relatively dry. Fertile plutonic suites in Arasbaran region may be recognized by their relatively late timing with respect to the voluminous Eocene volcanism. Widespread presence of hornblende phenocrysts, and major and trace element compositions with relatively high Sr/Y and La/Yb ratios, high Sr (> 400 ppm) and Nd (≥ 20 ppm) indicate a long-lived mature arc setting.
Bridging the gap between risk and recovery: a human needs approach

Summary There is an inexorable drive in psychiatric services in the UK, including forensic services, towards organising and delivering care based on the principles of the recovery model. Hence recovery, and its subjective and objective measures, is the goal of these services and the standard by which the quality of the service is evaluated. At the same time, all psychiatric services are expected to practise evidence-based risk assessment and management practices and can be subject to severe criticism or sanctions if they do not do so. In this paper I set out the view that the values that underlie the recovery approach and the clinical risk assessment approach appear to be polar opposites. However, an understanding of human behaviour using a humanneeds model is an explanatory paradigm that underlies both the recovery model and the understanding of risk behaviour, and can thus unify these two approaches. Therefore a more explicit integration of this model into forensic care would be beneficial and there should be more research directed to the correlates of recovery-oriented measures and risk-related measures.
Noise-Sensitivity everywhere

Noise-sensitivity of a Boolean function with iid random input bits means that resampling a tiny proportion of the input makes the output unpredictable. This notion arises naturally in computer science, but perhaps the most striking example comes from statistical physics, in large part due to the PI: the macroscopic geometry of planar percolation is very sensitive to noise. This can be recast in terms of Fourier analysis on the hypercube: a function is noise sensitive iff most of its Fourier weight is on ""high energy"" eigenfunctions of the random walk operator.

We propose to use noise sensitivity ideas in three main directions:

(A) Address some outstanding questions in the classical case of iid inputs: universality in critical planar percolation; the Friedgut-Kalai conjecture on Fourier Entropy vs Influence; noise in First Passage Percolation.

(B) In statistical physics, a key example is the critical planar FK-Ising model, with noise being Glauber dynamics. One task is to prove noise sensitivity of the macroscopic structure. A key obstacle is that hypercontractivity of the critical dynamics is not known.

(C) Babai’s conjecture says that random walk on any finite simple group, with any generating set, mixes in time poly-logarithmic in the volume. Two key open cases are the alternating groups and the linear groups SL(n,F2). We will approach these questions by first proving fast mixing for certain macroscopic structures. For permutation groups, this is the cycle structure, and it is related to a conjecture of Tóth on the interchange process, motivated by a phase transition question in quantum mechanics.

We will apply ideas of statistical physics to group theory in other novel ways: using near-critical FK-percolation models to prove a conjecture of Gaboriau connecting the first ell2-Betti number of a group to its cost, and using random walk in random environment to prove the amenability of the interval exchange transformation group, refuting a conjecture of Katok.
