Wāhine: antologia annotata di poetesse neozelandesi contemporanee in traduzione italiana
Authors:   , Benocci Francesca 
Published: December 2021

<p>This thesis is a case study in literary translation. It consists of a creative component (60%) — an anthology of contemporary New Zealand women poetry translated into Italian — and a critical component (40%) — an interdisciplinary commentary outlining the historical, linguistic, cultural, literary and translational aspects underpinning my work as editor, literary translator and scholar. My interest in New Zealand literature began with my Master’s thesis, when reading Keri Hulme’s 1985 Booker Prize winning novel the bone people exposed me to the linguistic and cultural specificities of literary works produced in Aotearoa/New Zealand. This interest was further ignited by reading Marinella Rocca Longo’s pioneering study of New Zealand poetry, La poesia neozelandese dalle origini inglesi ai contemporanei, published in 1977. To this day, Hulme’s novel remains untranslated in Italian and Rocca Longo’s monograph is the only comprehensive study about New Zealand poetry for an Italian-speaking readership, one with which I have engaged constructively and critically in the course of my studies. This doctoral thesis thus combines translation and poetry. More specifically, it asks itself what it means to translate contemporary New Zealand women poets into Italian. This choice is motivated by three aims, which complement the wider ambition to make New Zealand writing better known to Italian readers: to better reflect the ethnic richness of New Zealand literature; to highlight the major role played by women in developing and expanding New Zealand poetry; to discuss translation theory from a post-colonial and feminist viewpoint. These factors are reflected in the structure and contents of this thesis. A historical overview of New Zealand literature in general and of New Zealand poetry in particular as an example of post-colonial literature is followed by a discussion on which theories and practices of translation are ethically as well as aesthetically the most appropriate for the translation of post-colonial poetry written by women. The comprehensive anthology I have compiled and the commentary that accompanies it bring this discussion to life, celebrating not only the creative and scholarly contribution of the translator as an intercultural negotiator, but also the ethical responsibility underscoring this task. The opportunity to undertake this research in Aotearoa/New Zealand has made this study particularly intense as well as personal, as I negotiated and renegotiated the space between theory and practice, pushing myself to expand and deepen the choices a translator is called to make as a reader, as an interpreter, as a critic, and as a writer. I hope that this goal has been achieved in the negotiation between the theoretical, scholarly and creative parts of this project that are embodied in the outcome of this thesis.</p>
Seeds of hope, seeds of resistance: Cultivating food justice and community economies through urban agriculture
Authors:   , Sánchez-Bolívar Isabella 
Published: December 2021

<p>Grounded on the experiences and discourses of volunteers and members of Southern Garden located in the Southern suburbs of Wellington and Wesley Community Action in Cannons Creek, I explore the work these community projects to contest the current corporate agrifood system using ethnographic and participatory approaches. This thesis is an attempt to show the often unrecognised and underestimated revolutionary work community activist are doing through UA. This research seeks to advance the discussions around food justice, and community economies in UA in the context of Aotearoa New Zealand since the literature around these topics is limited. The main aim of this thesis is to open spaces for these conversations to happen both in academia and among grassroots groups in order to push forward for a more just system. Using food sovereignty, food justice, community economies and the right to the city as my theoretical framework, I highlight the power of everyday politics to change and challenge the status quo without being complacent and uncritical about the limitations and contradictions of such work. Both projects open spaces of possibility and freedom where we can all build better futures to come. I have tried in this thesis to make justice to their work and to help move forward in search of more radical spaces of transformation.</p>
Lightweight Caching and Load Balancing for Efficient Content Delivery in Information-Centric IoT
Authors:   , Pfender Jakob 
Published: December 2021

<p>In recent years, Information-Centric Networking (ICN) has emerged as a promising candidate for a future Internet architecture. While originally designed with the traditional Internet in mind, it has also been identified as a potential replacement for current Internet of Things (IoT) networking solutions. However, applications in the IoT face a number of unique challenges due to the constrained nature of the hardware. One of these challenges is that available memory is often extremely limited. This thesis aims to evaluate the feasibility of using ICN in-network caching on IoT devices in order to achieve efficient content delivery. It evaluates the performance of existing approaches on constrained hardware and explores how the technology can be improved and tailored towards that environment. Existing strategies are found to be lacking in key aspects, particularly the fact that the effects of network topology are often not considered when making caching decisions. It is shown that approaches based on network centrality are promising, but existing implementations are not suited for constrained hardware. Therefore, a lightweight in-network caching strategy called Approximate Betweenness Centrality (ABC) is proposed that takes the specific requirements of IoT into consideration and allows for efficient cache placement regardless of network topology. Then, a modular solution for load balancing through off-path caching is presented to address potential shortcomings of the centrality-based caching approach. It allows the network to make more efficient use of available caching resources without introducing additional overhead. Furthermore, solutions for ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) are discussed. The expanded role of caching strategies under such QoS constraints is explored and their performance is evaluated. This thesis shows that it is possible to design and deploy lightweight, low-overhead solutions on constrained hardware. Using a realistic deployment of physical IoT devices, it is demonstrated that these approaches can reach satisfactory levels of performance.</p>
Electrostatic images and T-matrices for simple geometries
Authors:   , Majic Matt 
Published: December 2021

<p>This thesis is concerned with electrostatic boundary problems and how their solutions behave depending on the chosen basis of harmonic functions and the location of the fundamental singularities of the potential.	The first part deals with the method of images for simple geometries where the exact nature of the image/fundamental singularity is unknown; essentially a study of analytic continuation for Laplace's equation in 3 dimensions. For the sphere, spheroid and cylinder, new deductions are made on the location of the images of point charges and their linear or surface charge densities, by using different harmonic series solutions that reveal the image. The second part looks for analytic expressions for the T-matrix for electromagnetic scattering of simple objects in the low frequency limit. In this formalism the incident and scattered fields are expanded on an orthogonal basis such as spherical harmonics, and the T-matrix is the transformation between the coefficients of these series, providing the general solution of any electromagnetic scattering problem by a given particle at a given wavelength. For the spheroid, bispherical system and torus, the natural basis of harmonic functions for the geometry of the scatterer are used to determine T-matrix expressed in that basis, which is then transformed onto a basis of canonical spherical harmonics via the linear relationships between different bases of harmonic functions.</p>
Rozwój morskiej energetyki wiatrowej w Polsce – uwagi na tle gospodarczego prawa środowiska
Authors: Bojar-Fijałkowski Tomasz 
Published: December 2021

Zmiany klimatyczne stawiają nowe wyzwania przed światem. Unia Europejska, dzięki wysokim standardom w zakresie redukcji emisji spalin, zielonych technologii i innowacji, należy do grona najaktywniejszych graczy w działaniach na rzecz klimatu. Standardy Unii Europejskiej wymagają od władz krajowych dużego zaangażowania. Aby sprostać ambitnym celom wskazanym w Europejskim Zielonym Ładzie, Polska musi nadrobić zaległości i zaniedbania w obszarze odnawialnych źródeł energii. Możliwość taką daje morska energetyka wiatrowa.
Tekst niniejszy jest poświęcony analizie korelacji między Europejskim Zielonym Ładem a projektami rozwoju farm wiatraków na polskiej części Morza Bałtyckiego. Ma on na celu wskazanie brakującej legislacji oraz ocenę istniejącej. Autor podejmuje w nim próbę wskazania zależności między ogólną doktryną polityczną Unii Europejskiej w zakresie środowiska a prawem regulującym szereg obszarów działalności gospodarczej. Dodatkowym wątkiem przy odpowiedzi na takie pytanie jest ewentualny wpływ na tenże proces pandemii SARS-CoV-2. Analiza dogmatyczno-prawna, zastosowana wobec aktualnie obowiązujących regulacji dla pełniejszego zrozumienia wymaga także zastosowania metody historyczno-prawnej wobec regulacji wcześniejszych. Ich wspólne zastosowanie pozwoli bowiem wskazać, w jakim obszarze nowe prawo, dedykowane realizacji Europejskiego Zielonego Ładu, na płaszczyźnie krajowej, jest szczególnie potrzebne.
Poczyniona analiza prowadzi do wniosków oraz postulatów de lege ferenda, m.in. w zakresie wpływu Europejskiego Zielonego Ładu na szereg gałęzi prawa i wiele obszarów aktywności gospodarczej. Działania te przyspiesza dodatkowo pandemia SARS-CoV-2 i chęć synergii działań na rzecz klimatu z pobudzeniem i odbudową gospodarki. Kluczowe miejsce pośród instrumentów realizacji powyższych założeń zajmuje energetyka odnawialna, która w Polsce była w ostatnich latach mocno zaniedbywana. Stąd aby spróbować osiągnąć ambitne cele wskazane przez Unię Europejską, konieczne jest podjęcie działań także w obszarze morskiej energetyki wiatrowej. Kluczowe dla powstania i rozwoju w Polsce morskiej energetyki wiatrowej będą regulacje określające zasady i warunki przygotowania oraz realizacji inwestycji, tak jak i mechanizmy oraz instrumenty wspierające wytwarzanie energii elektrycznej w morskich farmach wiatrowych.

Published: December 2021

Pelabuhan merupakan sarana penting bagi transportasi laut yang membuat jarak yang ditempuh akan lebih terasa dekat atau cepat, terlebih bagi sektor ekonomi daerah berkembang karena pusat produksi barang dapat dipasarkan dengan lancar. Tingginya produktivitas pelabuhan menunjukkan bahwa pelabuhan telah memberikan dan mengupayakan pelayanan yang layak. Corona Virus Disease 2019 atau lebih dikenal dengan nama Covid-19 pertama kali pada Desember 2019, dan menyebar ke Indonesia pada bulan Maret 2020. Sektor transportasi laut menerima dampak besar dari pengurangan aktivitas masyarakat di masa pandemi Covid-19. Aktivitas utama pelabuhan yang menunjang perdagangan dunia harus terus berjalan secara aman selama pandemi Covid-19, yang tentunya memerlukan kebijakan dalam menghadapi situasi tersebut. Kinerja bongkar muat dapat dipengaruhi oleh cuaca buruk maupun kendala-kendala yang mengakibatkan kegiatan bongkar muat di dermaga menjadi terhambat, dalam hal ini pandemi Covid-19 berpotensi menjadi salah satu faktor yang berpengaruh dalam kelancaran kegiatan bongkar muat di pelabuhan. Tujuan peneltian untuk mengetahui pengaruh pandemi Covid–19 terhadap produktivitas bongkar muat di BUP PT. DABN cabang Probolinggo. Penelitian kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penulisan tugas akhir ini adalah pendekatan penelitian lapangan (field research). Pengaruh Covid-19 terhadap produktivitas bongkar muat di BUP PT. DABN Cabang Probolinggo sebelum dan selama pandemi Covid-19, didapatkan hasil Covid-19 hanya berpengaruh pada proses sebelum kapal sandar di pelabuhan, yaitu adanya tambahan pemeriksaan kesehatan pada awak kapal terkait indikasi adanya paparan virus Covid-19. Sedangkan dari segi produktivitas bongkar muat berdasarkan data yang didapat selisih antara jumlah call kapal sebelum dan selama pandemi terjadi peningkatan jumlah sebanyak 72 kapal sandar (meningkat 0,11%) dan selisih jumlah muatan volume muatan meningkat sebanyak 98.260 ton (meningkat 0,062%). Covid- 19 hanya berdampak pada prosedur tambahan yang dilakukan sebelum kapal sandar di pelabuhan, yaitu petugas kesehatan pelabuhan wajib memeriksa kesehatan awak kapal apakah ada indikasi paparan virus Covid-19 pada awak kapal.
Eight-Hit Evolutionary Pattern in ATM Gene of a Breast Carcinoma Patient: A Personalized Approach
Authors: Mehdipour Parvin , Azarnezha Asaad 
Published: December 2021

Background: Different genetic variants in the ATM gene have been reported to be associated with breast carcinoma (BC). Purpose of the study was to consider the multi-insights experiments and explorations through the molecular, cellular and structural aspects of ATM.
Methods and Results: D1853N polymorphism was traced in a proband with BC. DNA extracted from blood and tumor tissue was PCR-amplified and cloned to allelic localization of characterized variants. Protein expression and In silico analysis based on three different profiles involved in cell cycle were also performed to confirm mutational events. Findings revealed the molecular based sequential events as an eight-hit evolutionary pattern (8- Hit E.P) including D1853N as the first predisposing hit (inherited), pre-differentiation stage hits including IVS 36-8 T>C as the 2nd hit, V1833M as the 3rd hit, L1888L as the 4th, and somatic variants including IVS 36-46 C>T, L1842L, H1864H, and S1872R were considered as the 5-8th hits. Low protein expression of ATM in the majority of cells was observed, but the expression of cyclin E, CDC25A, P53, and Ki-67 was more diverse.
Conclusions: Observations were reflective of the sequential molecular and cellular events through the entire patient’s life from the pre-differentiation embryonic stage and all through the post-birth periods. Mentioned hits seem to be effective on expression and function of ATM which confirmed by the expression and in silico analysis.
Too Much Choice and Consumer Decision Making: The Moderating Role of Consumer Involvement
Authors: Khan Kamran , Hussainy Syed Karamatullah , Hameed Irfan , Riaz Kashif 
Published: December 2021

The study attempts to explore the choice available for grocery consumers and its impact on decision-making. The study’s design includes the consumer’s personal involvement towards the purchase, the emotions, and subsequent satisfaction. For a moderated-mediation model, the data set of 401 respondents were finalized to test the measurement and structural models. The research has established that it is not necessary that consumers are always happy when they have more choices available. Further, it was also established that involvement has a role to play in the emotions which lead to purchasing intentions. The involvement perspective in the model makes this study unique because the part of consumer involvement as a moderator to choices and emotions has not been studied before extensively. The manufacturers must determine the array of choices because producing variety does not always generate more revenues in this part of the world. The study opens new avenues for the researchers to dig into the details and identify consumer behaviors when various choices for consumers are available.
Correlação entre Trihalometanos e o Desenvolvimento do Câncer de Bexiga
Authors: Affornalli Beatriz de Almeida , Macetti Nadinne Maria , Marques Camila Moraes , Andrade Diancarlos Pereira de , Mello Rosiane Guetter 
Published: December 2021

Introdução: Os trihalometanos (THM) constituem um grupo de subprodutos gerados pela desinfecção da água por meio da cloração. Desde a primeira vez em que foram reportados, em 1974, são alvos de estudos que buscam estabelecer uma relação positiva entre a exposição dos humanos a esses compostos e o desenvolvimento de câncer. Objetivo: Revisão da literatura cientifica disponível sobre a presença de THM na água e sua relação com o desenvolvimento do câncer de bexiga. Método: Levantamento bibliográfico da revisão feito nas bases de dados ScienceDirect e PubMeb. Os descritores utilizados foram ‘‘trihalomethane’’, ‘‘disinfection by-products’’ e ‘‘bladder cancer’’ dos Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS) da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde. Os artigos selecionados foram publicados nos últimos cinco anos. Resultados: A amostra final desta revisão foi constituída por 31 artigos, sendo a maioria deles publicados em jornais e revistas sobre meio ambiente. Analisaram-se estudos descritivos, metanálises e outros estudos individuais com delineamento experimental, encontrando uma associação positiva, mas controversa, entre os THM e o câncer, associada a diferentes mecanismos. A relação mais consistente tem sido entre a exposição crônica e o câncer de bexiga. Conclusão: Os estudos reconhecem que existem riscos significativos a saúde relacionados aos THM, no entanto, evidencias que esclareçam os mecanismos de ação e o papel que outros fatores de risco possuem, juntamente com os THM, ainda permanecem incertas.

Published: December 2021

Este estudo teve o objetivo de avaliar a literatura científica de forma sistemática para analisar o efeito da EENM no ganho de força muscular e no desempenho motor em idosos. O levantamento bibliográfico foi realizado através de publicações indexadas na base de dados da Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Heath e Physiotherapy evidence database. A busca foi realizada utilizando os descritores na língua portuguesa e inglesa: “Terapia por estimulação elétrica”, “Força muscular”, “Desempenho Motor”, “Idoso”. Para organização do estudo, foram seguidos os critérios da revisão sistemática PRISMA (Principais Itens para Relatar Revisões Sistemáticas e Metanálises). Após avaliação, foram selecionados cinco artigos que se enquadravam nos critérios de inclusão. Diversos estudos mostraram dados que fornecem evidências de que a eletroestimulação neuromuscular é um método seguro para combater o declínio muscular em idosos, como também evita a perda da força muscular e proporciona seu incremento. Esta revisão foi conclusiva no tocante à eficácia da EENM, pois demonstrou que há efetivamente aumento da força de MMII e melhora no desempenho motor após um protocolo de EENM em idosos, mesmo com grande divergência nos parâmetros e no tempo de intervenção.

Authors: Dorigan Maria Caroline , Matias Juliano Bernardes , Tognetti Valdinéia Maria , Torres Silvia Cristina Mazeti 
Published: December 2021

Os bifosfonatos atuam no processo de remodelação óssea, impedindo a reabsorção patológica ocasionada por determinadas doenças como a osteoporose, osteogênese imperfeita, doença de Paget e neoplasias com metástases ósseas. O bifosfonato incorpora na matriz óssea devido a sua alta afinidade com os ossos, caracterizando seu efeito cumulativo e proporcionando o risco de desenvolvimento da osteonecrose dos maxilares induzida por bifosfonatos, que discorre de uma complicação decorrente do uso desses fármacos onde existe a exposição óssea necrótica patológica de ossos maxilares podendo ser de surgimento espontâneo ou induzida por intervenções odontológicas. O objetivo deste estudo visa a compreensão da osteonecrose e sua etiologia afim de identificar fatores de risco locais ou sistêmicos, métodos de prevenção, evidenciar meios de diagnóstico através de sinais e sintomas clínicos e exames complementares além da realização do seu estadiamento em caso de ocorrência e os respectivos tratamentos existentes. Para a construção da revisão de literatura alguns passos foram determinantes como a elaboração de questões norteadoras e hipóteses, pesquisa bibliográfica para coleta de dados seguindo critérios de inclusão e exclusão através de análise minuciosa e interpretação de resultados. Com o envelhecimento populacional o número de pessoas usando medicações antirreabsortivas aumentou significativamente e com isso, o risco de desenvolvimento de complicações como a abordada também cresceu. Conclui-se que é de extrema importância o papel do cirurgião-dentista em uma equipe multidisciplinar para tratamento destes indivíduos que fazem uso deste tipo de fármaco afim de evitar e diminuir a ocorrência da osteonecrose garantindo assistência, saúde e bem-estar ao paciente.
Alterations of the Oral Microbiota Profiles in Chinese Patient With Oral Cancer

Published: December 2021

Oral cancer is the most common malignant tumor in the oral and maxillofacial region, of which more than 90% is squamous cell carcinoma. The incidence of oral cancer is on the rise worldwide. An imbalance between the microorganism composition and its host may lead to the occurrence of oral malignant tumors. Accumulating evidence suggests that the oral microbiota plays an important role in oral cancer; however, the association between oral microbiota and oral cancer has not yet been comprehensively studied. In this study, metagenomic sequencing was used to compare the microbial composition of three groups of samples from Chinese patients with oral cancer, patients with precancerous lesion, and normal individuals. In terms of microbiota richness, the oral microbiota of patients with precancerous lesions was richer than that of oral cancer patients and healthy controls, whereas in terms of microbiota diversity, there was little difference between the three groups. The three groups of samples exhibited statistically significant differences in microbiota composition and metabolic function at the family, genus, and species levels (P &lt; 0.05). The differentially enriched phylum in oral cancer samples was Bacteroidetes (P &lt; 0.05). At the genus level, the main differentially enriched taxa were Prevotella, Peptostreptococcus, Carnobacterium, and Diastella (P &lt; 0.05). The species level was differentially enriched in Prevotella intermedia and Peptostreptococcus stomatis (p &lt; 0.05). The prediction of microbiota function shows that oral cancer is mainly associated with coenzyme A biosynthesis, phosphopantothenic acid biosynthesis, inosine 5’-phosphate degradation, and riboflavin biosynthesis. Furthermore, the increase in C-reactive protein level in oral cancer patients was found to be closely related to P. intermedia. Overall, oral bacterial profiles showed significant differences between the oral cancer group and normal group. Hence, microbes can be employed as diagnostic markers and treatment targets for oral cancer.
