Making the Match: The Importance of Local Labor Markets for the Employment Prospects of Refugees
Authors: Tsolak Dorian , Bürmann Marvin
Published: June 2023

We examine how local labor markets shape the employment prospects of refugees in Germany, where refugees are assigned to regions through a dispersal policy. While it is known that the characteristics of these regions affect the overall employment probability of refugees, previous studies have not investigated how refugees’ chances of regaining their pre-migration occupation are affected by the local opportunities to find employment in these occupations. To address this gap, we use a large survey of refugees in Germany and link local-occupational labor market characteristics to their region of residence and pre-migration occupation. We decompose the effects of these detailed context characteristics by estimating linear probability regressions with and without fixed effects for regions and/or occupations. While our analyses show that the employment probability of refugees is indeed strongly influenced by the general local characteristics of their place of residence and general, nationwide characteristics of their pre-migration occupation, our analyses also show that the chances of refugees being employed in their pre-migration occupation are additionally driven by the local characteristics of their occupation. More specifically, our models reveal that a one standard deviation higher local share of foreigners in refugees’ pre-migration occupation increases the average probability of an occupational match by around 25 percent.
Why Do Consumers Buy Green Smart Buildings without Engaging in Energy-Saving Behaviors in the Workplace? The Perspective of Materialistic Value
Authors: Chu Lydia
Published: June 2023

The construction industry is recognized as a heavily polluting industry, so it is imperative to understand consumer behavior towards green smart buildings and energy-saving behaviors at workplaces to achieve sustainable development. However, previous surveys on green purchasing behavior and green energy-saving behaviors did not investigate the double-edged perspective of these two variables. Therefore, this paper adopts the theory of symbolic self-completion to detect the double-edged impact of material values on green smart buildings and energy-saving behaviors, and the impact is moderated by a luxurious atmosphere. In addition, past investigations did not find a double-edged effect of material value on green smart buildings and energy-saving behaviors, so this paper provides a significant contribution to the field of green smart buildings and sustainable development. To test the proposed hypotheses, this paper conducted a survey of 101 consumers in Taiwan to test the theoretical model, and the analysis results support all hypotheses. This study contributes to the current literature in three ways. First, it constructs a theoretical model to clarify the relationship between materialism and environmental behaviors. Second, although a growing body of research has investigated the impact of material values on environmental behavior, these studies understand little about why material values lead to conflicting relationships. This study shows that material value is a double-edged sword for environmentally friendly behavior to fill this gap. Finally, the results can guide the construction industry in developing green marketing strategies for sustainable development.
Responsibility Allocation of Provincial Industry Emission Reduction from the Perspective of Industrial Linkages—A Case Study of Shanxi Province
Authors: Wan Fang , Li Jizu
Published: June 2023

The allocation of emissions reduction responsibilities in a fair and efficient manner is the key to achieving optimal overall reductions in emissions. However, existing studies have not adequately considered the impact of industry linkages. To fill this gap, this study constructed a carbon emissions reduction responsibility allocation model from the perspective of industry linkages using the TOPSIS (a technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution) comprehensive evaluation method based on entropy weights. A typical resource-based province, Shanxi, was selected to broaden the scope of the related research to the provincial level. The indicator system designed in this study also compensates existing studies that have lacked consideration of industry linkages. The results show that traditional energy-intensive industries will be significantly less responsible by incorporating indirect emissions responsibility into the equity principle, while the ‘coal mining and washing’ and ‘construction’ industries will be more responsible. By incorporating the impact of industry linkages on the overall emissions reduction effect into the efficiency principle, traditional energy-intensive industries with overly intensive emissions reduction tasks will limit the overall efficiency, while industries with strong emissions reduction potential or able to support low-carbon economic development will be able to take on more responsibilities. These findings are expected to provide the government with references to formulate mitigation policies in China and in other countries.
Just Transition or Just Transitioning? Potentials and Limitations of Urban Growers’ Adaptations to the Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Boules Caroline , Kato Yuki
Published: June 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic caused drastic short-term shocks to global and local food supply chains. Research thus far has examined increased consumer demands, yet there is a lack of research on the impacts, adaptations, and perceptions of local growers and farmers. In this paper, we analyze 59 interviews conducted with urban growers across the DC metropolitan region to understand how local urban and suburban growers responded and adapted during 2020–2021. We use the “just transition” framework, which currently lacks empirical applications to the food system, to explore how transformations in a regional food system could further social sustainability and equity in the larger food system. We find that the growers faced a multitude of challenges in diversifying and scaling up their distribution system, as they implemented changes mostly independently without much institutional support or coordination. Growing commercially, for donation, or personal consumption resulted in different sets of challenges and adaptations. Our study demonstrates the need for more critical, empirically-driven assessments of the “just transition” theory, specifically its implementation mechanisms and processes, as the growers’ variant adaptation strategies underscore both the potential and limitations of ensuring the equitable transformation of a regional food system through grassroots efforts.
Ice Core Methane Analytical Techniques, Chronology and Concentration History Changes: A Review
Authors: Song Jing
Published: June 2023

Ice cores are invaluable in paleoclimate research, offering unique insights into the evolution of the natural environment, human activities, and Earth’s climate system. Methane (CH4) is a crucial greenhouse gas, second only to CO2 in its contribution to global warming, and is one of the primary anthropogenic greenhouse gases. Understanding historical CH4 concentration changes is essential for predicting future trends and informing climate change mitigation strategies. By analyzing gas components trapped in ice core bubbles, we can directly examine the composition of ancient atmospheres. However, there are relatively few comprehensive reviews on ice core CH4 testing techniques, chronology, and concentration history records. In response to this gap, our paper systematically reviews ice core CH4 analytical techniques, chronology, and concentration history changes. Our review indicates that current research on CH4 in non-polar ice cores is insufficient compared to polar ice cores, facing challenges such as high data dispersion, outlier frequency, and the presence of non-atmospheric signals. These limitations hinder our in-depth understanding of CH4 signals in non-polar ice cores, and the reliability of atmospheric CH4 concentration changes they reflect. To address these challenges, we propose exploring and applying advanced testing techniques, such as Continuous Flow Analysis technology, in non-polar ice cores. Additionally, we emphasize the research gap in utilizing CH4 records for age determination in ice core chronology. Future research should focus on this area to advance our understanding of ice core chronology and the history of atmospheric CH4 changes in non-polar regions, ultimately contributing to more effective climate change mitigation efforts.
Measuring Patent Similarity Based on Text Mining and Image Recognition
Authors: Lin Wenguang , Yu Wenqiang , Xiao Renbin
Published: June 2023

Patent application is one of the important ways to protect innovation achievements that have great commercial value for enterprises; it is the initial step for enterprises to set the business development track, as well as a powerful means to protect their core competitiveness. The emergence of a large amount of patent data makes the effective detection of patent data difficult, and patent infringement cases occur frequently. Manual measurement in patent detection is slow, costly, and subjective, and can only play an auxiliary role in measuring the validity of patents. Protecting the inventive achievements of patent holders and realizing more accurate and effective patent detection were the issues explored by academics. There are five main methods to measure patent similarity: clustering-based method, vector space model (VSM)-based method, subject–action–object (SAO) structure-based method, deep learning-based method, and patent structure-based method. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a calculation method to fuse the similarity of patent text and image. Firstly, the SAO structure extraction technique is used for the patent text to obtain the effective content of the text, and the SAO structure is compared for similarity; secondly, the patent image information is extracted and compared; finally, the patent similarity is obtained by fusing the two aspects of information. The feasibility and effectiveness of the scheme are proven by studying a large number of patent similarity cases in the field of mechanical structures.
A Software for RFI Analysis of Radio Environment around Radio Telescope
Authors: Wang Yu , Zhang Haiyan , Wang Jian , Huang Shijie , Hu Hao , Yang Cheng
Published: June 2023

Radio astronomy uses radio telescopes to detect very faint emissions from celestial objects. However, human-made radio frequency interference (RFI) is currently a common problem faced by most terrestrial radio telescopes, and it is getting worse with the development of the economy and technology. Therefore, it is essential to monitor and evaluate interference during the planning, construction, and operation stages of the radio telescope and protect the quiet radio environment around the radio astronomical site. In this paper, we present a software for an RFI analysis of the radio environment around the telescope. In this software, information has been collected, including the location of the site; the technical specifications, such as aperture and the frequency range of the radio telescopes; and the terrain around the site. The software and its modules are composed of telescope, geographic, and meteorological databases, and analysis modules of terrestrial and space-based RFI. Combined with the propagation characteristics of radio waves, we can analyze and evaluate RFI on the ground and in space around the radio telescope. The feasibility of the software has been proved by the experimental implementation of the propagation properties and RFI source estimation. With this software, efficient technical support can be expected for protecting the radio environment around the telescope, as well as improving site selection for planned radio astronomical facilities.
Vibration Therapy for Cancer-Related Bone Diseases
Authors: Song Xin , Sassi Amel , Seaman Kimberly , Lin Chun-Yu , You Lidan
Published: June 2023

Patients undergoing cancer treatments and/or suffering from metastatic bone lesions experience various skeletal-related events (SREs), substantially reducing functional independence and quality of life. Therefore, researchers are working towards developing new interventions by harnessing the bone’s innate anabolic response to mechanical stimulations. Whole body vibration (WBV) has recently gained interest due to its nature of being safe, effective, and easy to perform. In this review, we will summarize the most cutting-edge vibration studies of cancer models and bone-cancer cell interactions. We will also discuss various parameters, including age, vibration settings, and differences between bone sites, which may affect vibration efficacy. Studies have shown that WBV improves bone mineral density (BMD) and bone volume in patients and mice with cancer. WBV also reduces tumor burden and normalizes bone vasculature in mice. At the cellular level, vibration promotes interactions between bone cells and cancer cells, which reduce osteoclastogenesis and inhibit cancer metastatic potential. Hence, WBV could potentially serve as a new intervention or adjuvant treatment to attenuate cancer progression while preserving bone health.
Turbulence Kinetic Energy and High-Order Moments of Velocity Fluctuations of Flows in the Presence of Submerged Vegetation in Pools
Authors: Tabesh Mofrad Mohammad Reza , Parvizi Parsa , Afzalimehr Hossein , Sui Jueyi
Published: June 2023

The flow in arid and semi-arid regions changes significantly during seasons, letting many vegetation patches develop in different parts of rivers. In the presence of aquatic plants in streams, different flow structures have resulted. When the water level increases in these rivers, the presence of vegetation patches influences the turbulent flow structures, which may considerably change the estimation of key hydraulic parameters. The results of earlier investigations indicated that a wide range of submerged and non-submerged vegetation influences the hydrodynamic features of flows in rivers and streams. In the present investigation, two pools with various slopes of entry and exit sections were used to conduct eight independent experiment runs. In addition, a vegetation patch over the entire pool section has been set up to investigate the effects of the vegetation patch on flow structures in pools. The effect of two slopes of 5 and 10 degrees for both entrance and exit of the pools on flow structure has been investigated. Considering two aspect ratios of 2.0 and 2.7, the distributions of flow velocity, Reynolds normal and shear stresses, turbulence intensities, turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), quadrant analysis, and spectral analysis have been studied at the trailing edge of the vegetation patch along an artificial pool. Results show that, for large entrance and exit slopes (10 degrees), the TKE distribution profiles have no specific form. However, the TKE values have a convex-shaped distribution pattern with the maximum TKE value near the bed when the slopes of the entrance and exit sections of the pool are small (5 degrees). Results showed that both ejections and sweeps govern the turbulence structures and coherent motions at the trailing edge of the vegetation patch along the pool. The geometry, entrance, and exit slopes of the pool have no effect on the validation of power spectral function compared to the presence of a vegetation patch in a flatbed.

Published: June 2023

Background: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are a global public health threat associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Objectives: The study aims to describe the epidemiology, microbiology and outcome of patients with CRE infection or colonization during an active surveillance program and to determine the risk factors for the acquisition of such organisms in a single center in Oman. Method: A retrospective case–control study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in 2015 and 2016. Cases included patients who had a positive screening or clinical sample for CRE and controls included patients who were screened during the same period and never had a positive screening or clinical sample for CRE. Risk factors analyzed were demographics, comorbidities, instrumentation, and antibiotic exposures. Data were analyzed using SPSS for Windows (version 11.5). Variables of interest were analyzed by univariate analysis, and those of significance were analyzed by logistic regression. Results: Seven hundred and twenty-eight cases were detected from active surveillance screening, and clinical samples and 749 controls were included. Males comprised 417 (57.3%) cases and females 311 (42.7%). The majority of CRE cases were adult patients (88%, n = 644) compared to 12 % (n = 84) paediatric. The total number of CRE screenings was 8,431 samples in 2015 with a positivity rate of 4.2% and 10,231 samples in 2016 with a positivity rate of 3.6%. The annual incidence rate of CRE was 0.8 per 100 admissions in 2015 and 0.76 per 100 admissions in 2016. The annual incidence density was 1.90 and 1.89 per 1000 patient days for both years, respectively. Healthcare-associated acquisition was 99.5%, and only 0.5% was attributed to the community. The most common sites of infections were urine and wound comprising 29% each. Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 578, 79%) was the predominant organism followed by Escherichia coli (n = 101, 14%). CRE acquisition was significantly associated with the presence of a urinary catheter (odds ratio [OR]: 7.3; confidence interval [CI]: 4.6–11.6; P < 0.0001 or central line (OR: 3.5; CI: 2.068–6.011; P < 0.001), intubation (OR: 0.5; CI: 0.264–0.947; P < 0.034), antibiotic exposure (OR: 4.5; CI: 3.101–6.586; P < 0.0001), and intensive care unit (ICU) admission (OR: 0.5; CI: 0.297–0.852; P = 0.011). In addition, history of a local and an abroad hospital admission significantly increased the risk of CRE acquisition (respectively, local OR: 10.97; CI: 7.878–15.301; P < 0.000, abroad OR: 12.4; CI: 6.597–23.617; P < 0.0001). Overall mortality was 23.1 and 52.3% among bacteremia cases. Conclusion: The annual incidence of CRE acquisition is high with a high mortality rate. A multifaceted strategy to control the spread of CRE is fundamental, considering the specific epidemiology of CRE related to our institution and country.
“Better than Shakespear?”: G. B. Shaw’s Postmodernism and Shakespeare
Authors: VURAL ÖZBEY Kübra
Published: June 2023

Although G. B. Shaw tends to associate himself with Shakespeare in his different works, much of the difficulty in understanding Shaw’s conception of the playwright stems from his adverse criticism of Shakespeare’s tragedies and comedies. When Shaw’s prose works are examined, it can be observed that he either praises Shakespeare or defames him. However, what matters to us in Shaw’s plays is that the impetus to criticise Shakespeare leads Shaw to revise the canonical playwright’s works for different reasons. From the beginning of the twentieth century to the end of his career, Shaw both rewrites Shakespeare’s plays and presents Shakespeare as one of his characters. In these works, Shaw relocates Shakespeare and his plays by making use of postmodernist literary characteristics in a way that Shakespeare becomes an impetus of postmodernism for Shaw. This paper explores Shakespeare’s postmodern agency in Shaw’s selected plays, namely Caesar and Cleopatra (1898), The Dark Lady of the Sonnets (1910), “Macbeth Skit” (1916), Cymbeline Refinished (1937) and Shakes versus Shav (1949).

La Universidad Nacional de la Plata (UNLP) viene desarrollando actividades de educación a distancia desde la época de los 90. En el año 2004 comienza a desarrollarse en forma institucional con la creación de un programa específico de educación a distancia dependiente de la Secretaría de Asuntos Académicos de la universidad. Se trabajó inicialmente con propuestas de ingresos a distancia y cursos de posgrado virtuales. Las asignaturas de carreras de grado presenciales que ampliaban con tecnología digital el aula, denominado extensión del aula, se fueron sumando y su presencia fue cada vez más numerosa en los entornos virtuales de la universidad. En el año 2017 es creada la Dirección General de Educación a Distancia y Tecnologías (DGEADyT) bajo la dependencia de la Secretaría de Asuntos Académicos, estructurada en áreas de trabajo que expanden su actividad al trabajar junto a diferentes dependencias de la Universidad y junto a una Comisión de Educación a Distancia integrada por representantes de las diferentes Unidades Académicas y Establecimientos Educativos de la UNLP. Para el año 2018 se incorpora dentro de la esfera de la DGEaDyT el Centro de Producción Multimedial (CEPROM). Ese mismo año, entran en vigencia la Resolución del Ministerio de Educación Nacional Nro. 2641/17, y se presenta el SIED (Sistema Institucional de Educación a Distancia) de la UNLP que obtiene en el año siguiente la validación ministerial. En la actualidad el SIED UNLP se ha visto atravesado por los dos años de aislamiento y distanciamiento social, lo cual requirió incorporar actividades, servicios y expandir sus acciones hacia el interior de toda la UNLP. El trabajo actual es trasversal a las diferentes secretarias de presidencia, a las UUAA y colegios de la universidad. Este informe nos permite sistematizar año a año la información del SIED UNLP de manera de contar con datos organizados que permitan ver el funcionamiento, expansión y nos guie en la toma de decisiones.
Occupational Diseases in Workers Engaged in Hydrocarbon Extraction in the Arctic
Authors: Syurin Sergei A. , Kizeev Aleksei N.
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Literary sources present rather contradictory data on the health of oil and gas industry workers in the Russian Arctic, which requires additional research.
Objective: To assess causes and circumstances, structure and number of occupational diseases among employees engaged in hydrocarbon extraction in the Arctic.
Materials and methods: We studied data of the public health monitoring on working conditions and occupational diseases in the Russian Arctic and the registry of extracts from occupational disease records (Order 176 of the Russian Ministry of Health dated May 28, 2001). The retrieved data were analyzed in Microsoft Excel 2016 and Epi Info statistical software, version 6.04d.
Results: We have revealed a pronounced contrast in working conditions and the number of occupational diseases between coal miners in the Komi Republic (city of Vorkuta) and Chukotka Autonomous Area, on the one hand, and oil and gas production workers of the Nenets and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Areas, on the other, in the years 2007–2021. We estimated that 85.1 % of miners and only 3.1 % of gas and oil workers were employed at facilities characterized by extreme sanitary and epidemiological ill-being. Miners were diagnosed with 98.2 % of all occupational diseases registered in workers employed in the extraction of hydrocarbon resources, and the occupational disease incidence in them (201.71 per 10,000 workers) was 492 times higher than that in oil and gas workers (0.41 per 10,000). The most prevalent occupational diseases in the miners were chronic bronchitis (21.3 %), radiculopathy (21.0 %), and mono- and polyneuropathy (10.3 %) while workers of oil and gas companies mainly suffered from sensorineural hearing loss (46.3 %), radiculopathy (18.5 %), and vibration disease (16.7 %).
Conclusion: Our findings confirm good health of oil and gas workers and necessitate urgent priority measures aimed at improvement of working conditions and all types of prevention of occupational conditions in coal miners working in the Arctic.

Published: June 2023

We fabricated Al2O3/SiO2 stack structures with atomically thin Ti oxide layers at the interfaces using atomic layer deposition and investigated the capacitance–voltage (C–V) hysteresis of the metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitors. We studied the effect of post-deposition annealing in the temperature range of 150 °C−500 °C on the C–V hysteresis and found that the Al2O3/SiO2-based stacks are thermally stable compared to ZrO2/SiO2- and HfO2/SiO2-based stacks. Using Al2O3/SiO2-based stacks, we investigated the impact of oxide layer thickness and gate electrode materials and studied pulse-induced current changes in MOS field-effect transistors.

Nell’ultima sezione, infine, attingendo ancora dalla messe di retrodatazioni e prime attestazioni, si registrano ulteriori lemmi, proverbi e modi di dire di varia natura, che si ritengono particolarmente significativi per la nostra tradizione lessicografica.
Presenza e immanenza dei Siciliani in Dante
Authors: Coluccia Rosario
Published: June 2023

Il lavoro analizza le citazioni dirette e gli indizi che testimoniano l’apprezzamento che, in più luoghi delle propria opera, Dante manifesta nei confronti della Scuola Siciliana (a partire dal promotore Federico II e il figlio Manfredi), rilevabile in particolare grazie alle ripetute citazioni di versi dei Poeti di quella Scuola. A partire dai Siciliani, molti fenomeni linguistici si trasmettono ai rimatori delle generazioni successive, fino a Dante. In questa prospettiva, alcuni tratti di originaria matrice siciliana si insediano nel patrimonio della lingua poetica (di vario livello), altri (meno diffusi) si affievoliscono più o meno rapidamente, infine esaurendosi. Nelle fasi giovanili e più sperimentali Dante è relativamente disponibile ad alcuni moduli siciliani, distaccandosene via via che raggiunge la pienezza stilistica.

Authors: Coveri Lorenzo
Published: June 2023

La voce dantesca magagna ‘vizio, colpa, difetto nascosto’ (Inferno XXXIII 152; Purgatorio VI 110, XV 46) deverbale di magagnare ‘ferire, guastare’ (dall’antico provenzale maganhar) è attestata nella storia dell’italiano (e dei dialetti) in tre principali accezioni: 1) ‘difetto, imperfezione, ferita’ (del corpo umano o animale); 2) ‘fallacia’ (di una materia); 3) ‘vizio morale’, in continuità con l’uso traslato che ne fa Dante.

Il contributo offre alcune osservazioni sul lessico economico-finanziario documentato nel De computis et scripturis, un trattatello interamente dedicato alla computistica commerciale contenuto all’interno della Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportioni et Proportionalità di Luca Pacioli (Venezia, 1494). Grazie allo straordinario successo dell’opera, più volte ristampata, il De computis ha esercitato un ruolo essenziale nella diffusione e nella codificazione di molti tecnicismi di tale settore nella nostra lingua, contribuendo non poco anche alla loro affermazione fuori d’Italia.
Pennellate dantesche: riflessioni sul lessico del colore nella Commedia
Authors: Felicani Elena
Published: June 2023

L’intervento offerto in questa sede propone alcune riflessioni sul lessico del colore nella Commedia. Casi esemplari ricavati dalla Vita nuova e dal Convivio offrono il campo per approdare alle suggestioni rintracciabili nel poema: è con la Commedia che Dante mostra una doppia natura d’artista, come maestro di lingua, che studia e modella la materia linguistica, come maestro del disegno e del colore, che impugna la penna da poeta come un pennello da pittore. Le voci selezionate per il contributo, che rappresentano solo un’esigua parte delle varietà cromatiche, sono ricavate dalle ricerche condotte nell’ambito del Vocabolario Dantesco.

Dagli scartafacci all’oblio: breve rassegna di parole petrarchesche perdute
Authors: Pancheri Alessandro
Published: June 2023

L’opera di selezione lessicale è senz’altro una delle più frequentate linee guida nell’analisi linguistica della poesia volgare di Petrarca, da Bembo a Contini e oltre. Anche qui ci si occupa di scelte e rifiuti lessicali, ma adottando una diversa prospettiva: non a posteriori, confrontando la forma finale del Canzoniere con la varietà linguistica dei suoi modelli, ma esaminando il testo petrarchesco nel suo farsi, quale si mostra negli abbozzi del Vat. lat. 3196. Il risultato è l’individuazione di sette lemmi, abbandonati nel corso dell’elaborazione e mai più riproposti.

Nervi, legamenti, corde e «fila di réfe». Dai nomi alla figurazione anatomica di Leonardo
Authors: Salvi Paola
Published: June 2023

Partendo dall’ambiguità terminologica perdurante fino al XVIII secolo nell’uso del termine «nervo» (che pone problemi ancora oggi nella traduzione dei testi leonardiani, e non solo) e dal metodo anatomico della liquefazione in acqua corrente descritto da Mondino e Alessandro Benedetti (confutato per il fine specifico da questi indicato), il saggio approfondisce una delle più eclatanti invenzioni grafiche di Leonardo: la riduzione schematica dei muscoli raffigurati come cordoncini tesi («dimostrazione di muscoli sottili, a uso di fila di refe»). Nuove ipotesi sono proposte per l’uso anatomico delle parole «macchina» e «strumento», in virtù del ruolo fondamentale che Leonardo assegna al disegno, e sul metodo utilizzato per giungere alle sue illustrazioni anatomiche, che sembra prevedere modelli tridimensionali.
Appunti su alcune voci della Commedia all’incrocio tra variantistica, antica esegesi e lessicografia

Il contributo è incentrato sulla ricezione di alcuni lemmi della Commedia inquadrabili nella categoria dei cosiddetti idiotismi fiorentini o vernacolismi. Ci si sofferma, in particolar modo, sulle varianti lessicali transitate dall’antica vulgata alla prima esegesi dantesca e alla lessicografia cinquecentesca; sulle diverse interpretazioni fornite dagli antichi commenti a una stessa parola; sulla valorizzazione della ricchezza lessicale di questi ultimi.
Forse che in italiano antico (a proposito di Convivio I iii 5: «a molti che forse che per alcuna fama...»)
Authors: Tavoni Mirko
Published: June 2023

La frase relativa di Dante «… a molti che forse che per alcuna fama in altra forma m’aveano imaginato…» (Convivio, I iii 5) alla nostra competenza di italofoni nativi di oggi suona di dubbia grammaticalità, per la presenza del secondo che, che non sapremmo come giustificare sintatticamente. A partire da questo dubbio, l’articolo indaga l’ampia diffusione di forse che in italiano antico. Normale come formula introduttiva di frasi soggettive («può essere forse che non hanno usanza di comunicare») e oggettive («Voi credete forse che siamo esperti d’esto loco»), nelle quali che è la normale congiunzione subordinante, la formula forse che è frequentissima anche a introdurre frasi principali, tanto dichiarative («Forse che campa; e s’ella canpa, ella sì è guarita») quanto interrogative («Forse che quella cotal bugia in quel caso non è peccato?»). Come si spiega che una frase principale sia introdotta dalla congiunzione subordinante che? L’articolo dà una risposta a questa domanda, e sulla base di questa spiegazione conclude che «che forse che», in una frase relativa restrittiva come quella di Convivio I iii 5, non è sintatticamente possibile e deve quindi essere emendato in «che forse».

A common sample separation to check for credit card scams. We are concentrating on assessing and ranking data sets in this procedure, as well as providing a variety of perplexing algorithm postings, Local Outlier Factor and Isolation Forest method in PCA changed statistics about how credit cards are processed.
Merging Deep Learning with Expert Knowledge for Seizure Onset Zone localization from rs-fMRI in Pediatric Pharmaco Resistant Epilepsy

Published: June 2023

Surgical disconnection of Seizure Onset Zones (SOZs) at an early age is an effective treatment for Pharmaco-Resistant Epilepsy (PRE). Pre-surgical localization of SOZs with intra-cranial EEG (iEEG) requires safe and effective depth electrode placement. Resting-state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rs-fMRI) combined with signal decoupling using independent component (IC) analysis has shown promising SOZ localization capability that guides iEEG lead placement. However, SOZ ICs identification requires manual expert sorting of 100s of ICs per patient by the surgical team which limits the reproducibility and availability of this pre-surgical screening. Automated approaches for SOZ IC identification using rs-fMRI may use deep learning (DL) that encodes intricacies of brain networks from scarcely available pediatric data but has low precision, or shallow learning (SL) expert rule-based inference approaches that are incapable of encoding the full spectrum of spatial features. This paper proposes DeepXSOZ that exploits the synergy between DL based spatial feature and SL based expert knowledge encoding to overcome performance drawbacks of these strategies applied in isolation. DeepXSOZ is an expert-in-the-loop IC sorting technique that a) can be configured to either significantly reduce expert sorting workload or operate with high sensitivity based on expertise of the surgical team and b) can potentially enable the usage of rs-fMRI as a low cost outpatient pre-surgical screening tool. Comparison with state-of-art on 52 children with PRE shows that DeepXSOZ achieves sensitivity of 89.79%, precision of 93.6% and accuracy of 84.6%, and reduces sorting effort by 6.7-fold. Knowledge level ablation studies show a pathway towards maximizing patient outcomes while optimizing the machine-expert collaboration for various scenarios.
Error-state Kalman Filtering with Linearized State Constraints

Published: June 2023

In recent years, the error-state Kalman filter (ErKF) has been extensively employed across various applications, including but not limited to robotics, aerospace, and localization. However, incorporating constraints into the ErKF framework when state constraint is necessary has remained a challenging task due to its intrinsic properties. This paper explores all possible ways to achieve this goal in the context of the estimate projection method. In particular, the constraint can be enforced before or after the ErKF's correction step. We approach the problem from a mathematical perspective by deriving analytical solutions and discussing their statistical properties. We prove that the two mentioned methods are statistically identical for a linear system with linear constraints. Conversely, the filter's behavior remains uncertain in the presence of linearized constraints. However, we provide a special case of the nonlinear constraint, wherein the results of the linear case remain valid. To support our theorem and verify the filter's performance when the assumptions are invalidated, we present two Monte Carlo simulations under the increasing initialization error and the constraint's incompleteness. The simulation results clearly confirm our insights and lead to the conclusion that constraining the error-state after the correction may offer superior outcomes compared to its competitor.

Published: June 2023

Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a common disorder that contributes to physical decline and activity limitation. Early OA diagnosis and treatment can stop the disease's progression. The assessment of a physician's visual examination is impartial, subject to different interpretations, and highly dependent on their level of experience. Therefore, a system that employs machine learning techniques to automatically determine the degree of knee OA has been proposed in this study. At first, a specifically created one stage YOLOv2 network is employed to estimate the size of the kneecap according to the distribution of knee joints in low contrast thermal images. To be more specific, the knee Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grading assignment is ordinal; therefore, a harsher penalty is provided for misrepresentation with a larger gap between the anticipated and actual KL grade. A machine learning architecture is then constructed and extensive tests are performed to demonstrate how texture properties affect diagnostic performance. Thermal images are used to determine if they might be used to distinguish between radiographs of diseased and healthy knees. The outcomes of machine learning features and manually extracted features are compared. Finally, a stacked model that combines second-level machine learning with predictions of patellar texture and clinical characteristics is provided.
