Psychosoziale Auswirkungen des Klimawandels
Creators: name: Bunz, Maxie
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2016

description: Der Klimawandel ist ein Umweltfaktor, der sich in vielfältiger Weise auf unsere Umgebung und uns selbst auswirkt. Die psychosozialen Konsequenzen sind weitreichend und werden sowohl durch akute Folgen des Klimawandels, wie Extremwetterereignisse, als auch durch graduelle Veränderungen, wie steigende Temperaturen oder veränderte Niederschläge, bedingt. Dieser Beitrag gibt einen literaturbasierten Überblick über diese potenziellen psychosozialen Auswirkungen. Es ist mit einer steigenden Häufigkeit von psychischen Störungen, sowie mit vermehrtem Konfliktpotenzial aufgrund von Migration und Ressourcenknappheit infolge des fortschreitenden Klimawandels zu rechnen. Präventiv sollten daher gemeinschaftlicher Zusammenhalt und soziale Netzwerke gefördert werden, sowie psychologische Anlaufstellen zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Vulnerable Gruppen, wie zum Beispiel Kinder, gilt es hierbei besonders zu beachten.

description: Climate Change is an environmental factor, which influences our surroundings and ourselves in multifaceted ways. The psychosocial consequences are far-reaching and are caused by acute impacts of climate change, like extreme weather events, as well as by gradual changes, such as rising temperatures or altered precipitation. This article provides a literature-based overview of these potential psychosocial effects. Because of climate change, a rise in incidence of mental disorders, and increasing conflict potential due to migration and scarcity of resources, can be expected. As a preventive measure, community cohesion and social networks should be encouraged, and psychological support should be provided. Special attention must be paid to vulnerable groups, such as children.

description: The project Archeorisk is presented. The objective is to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) for the safeguard and the management of the underwater archaeological patrimony in the Lagoon of Venice. The DSS has been completed in the form of a software prototype working as an extension of a geographic informative system. The DSS allows to evaluate the entity, the type and the distribution of the decay risk to which the lagoon archaeological sites are subjected. Its development has
requested the acquisition of experimental data on the decay of the findings and about the main causes. In particular, the decay of ceramic and wooden objects has been studied. The system, that can be adapted to different environmental and archaeological contexts, is destined to the Archaeological Superintendence and permits to integrate the safeguard of the cultural heritage with that of the natural environment.

description: The construction of the Blessed Virgin Rosary altar in the Saint Dominic church (13th century) in Ravenna occurred between 1723 and 1770. All the portions of the church are interested by intense degradation phenomena and, in particular, the altar preservation condition is worrying. The whole surface is covered by spots and deposits of various nature, efflorescences, swellings, detachments and lacunae. The main cause of damage is the humidity capillary climb. In a preliminary investigation, surveys and observations have been made in order to describe the materials and to evaluate the preservation condition. Then, the areas for sampling have been chosen for analyses and stratigraphies. The present work concerns the altar materials characterisation and the alteration – degradation products analyses: this is essential to plan the restoration interventions.
title: Accretion and Debris Disc Dynamics Around Single and Higher-Order Star Systems
Creators: name: Smallwood, Jeremy
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2020

description: My research deals with highly topical areas of astrophysics, such as planet habitability, stellar evolution, the origin of fast radio bursts, the evolution of debris discs, and the dynamics of accretion discs in binary and higher-order star systems. Accretion discs around binary star systems are ubiquitous in the galaxy and planet formation is thought to occur within these discs. Circumbinary discs are commonly observed to be misaligned with respect to the binary orbital plane. A misaligned circumbinary disc eventually evolve to a stable orientation, either coplanar or polar with the binary orbital plane. The process of disc alignment has important implications for planet formation. By understanding the structure and evolution of these discs and also debris discs, I shed light on the observed characteristics of exoplanets. The majority of my doctoral research is to study the gas dynamics in binary and higher-order star systems with an emphasis on explaining observations and developing theoretical models to better constrain planet formation mechanisms. My results unravel robust planet formation scenarios, which have far reaching implications for the present and upcoming observations from space telescope TESS. Furthermore, the next-generation telescopes, such as James Webb Space Telescope and Thirty Meter Telescope will fuel the discovery of planets within binary and higher-order star systems.

description: The study of the sarcophagus of C.Iulius Mygdonius, bearing the inscription CIL XI 137, evidences the urgency of proceeding promptly towards a complete cataloguing of the stone material in
Ravenna, with and without inscriptions. This operation is recommended not only for evident scientific objectives, but also for the conservation and valorisation of the findings, otherwise very often not accessible and badly known. The seat of Ravenna of the University of Bologna has all the resources, technical and scientific, to carry out this project.
Not another logo! Designing corporate identity systems that drive change within institutional culture: a case study in participatory design
Creators: name: Streader, Trevor

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The most prominent expression of an organisational restructure and change in corporate management is frequently a new Visual Identity System (VIS), (Milewar, Hussey, Srivoravilai 2005). This paper uses a case study approach to question and evaluate the role in the design process in ensuring the effectiveness of a VIS in driving and expressing change. It takes as its focus the development and implementation of a new VIS for Museum Victoria, the largest museum organisation in Australia. Developed within an organisational climate of managerial and institutional change, the development of this VIS is innovative on two counts. Firstly for raising awareness and appreciation of the potential offered by thinking about design not simply as a provider of graphic elements but as a provider of strategic communication systems. Secondly its use of a participatory process that brought museum staff from all levels into the design studio to be not only involved in the design process but also encounter at first hand the nature of design practice and thinking. The paper demonstrates how this process ensured the successful implementation of the new VIS and with this, a fundamental change within the Museum's organisational culture together with a shift in attitude towards the potential usefulness of design.

description: The removal or modification of smear layers that cover the dentin is critical to allow the penetration of adhesive molecules and to ensure a strong bond between resin and dentin. Aiming to establish a model for clinically-relevant dentin-bond testing, we evaluated the effects of smear layers created by abrasives having similar coarseness (180-grit SiC paper; fine-grit diamond bur) and application modes (single application; double application) on the microtensile bond strengths (µTBS) of two currently available universal adhesives (G-Premio Bond; Scotchbond Universal Adhesive) and a two-step self-etch adhesive (Clearfil Megabond 2). Sixty extracted human third molars were used for the μTBS test. Data were analyzed by three-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test (α = 0.05). Fracture modes were determined using stereomicroscopy. An additional 24 third molars were prepared for observation of the resin–dentin interface by TEM and adhesive-smear layer interaction by SEM. μTBS was significantly affected by the adhesives and their application modes (p < 0.001), implying that the double application of universal adhesives should be recommended to improve their performance. The effect of smear layers was not significant (p > 0.05), indicating that 180-grit SiC papers could be used to prepare dentin as a substitute for fine-grit diamond burs for dentin-bond testing in laboratory settings.
The conservation of the printed globes of V. Coronelli between knowledge and restoration

description: For the conservation and the possible restoration of an ancient artefact it is always necessary a deep knowledge of the materials with which it was realised and of the ways that the author of the work of art has used them. Three cases are presented here, regarding the globes of Coronelli, showing the utility of this type of study. In the globes, preserved at the Classense Library, the scientific investigations permitted to verify the real correspondence between the work of art and the description of Coronelli for their construction, and to evaluate the conservation conditions. In the globe Enriques, an accurate investigation has led to the discovery that this artefact represents one of the tests, if not the first one, made by the author. In another case, the globe of Faenza, at present under analysis and restoration, a series of tests is proposed for the choice of the more appropriate intervention to
be realised in the future.

description: The reasons of the research about new technologies as support in naval and underwater archaeology or, more generally, in waters archaeology are various and described in this work, where the characteristics of the research project “BLU-ARCHEOSYS – Innovative Technologies and Advanced
SYStems as Support in Underwater ARCHaeology” are illustrated. This industrial research project faces problems regarding innovative technologies and instruments in waters archaeology and it comprehends synergic steps and joined works among skilled professionals that have the competences
to interpret qualitative and/or quantitative data within an artistic – historical and technical – historical study, also with the involvement of various public and private institutions. The BLUARCHEOSYS project has, in fact, the objective to create technologies that have a reply in underwater archaeology and contemporaneously in other sectors. In particular, starting from the methodological way that spans from the discovery in underwater or subaerial environment to the collocation of the objects in museums, the intent is to support the different methodological stages with specific tools and innovative technologies. The education project, presented to the Ministry with the research one, is articulated in the different branches of artistic-historical character, of the management, normative
and operative character, and of the technical-diagnostic-material-preservative character. The professionals will have not only theoretical knowledge about standard and consolidated technologies, but they will be also experts about methodologies, in particular the diagnostic ones, that put in field the innovative tools evaluated in the project, with consequent competitive advantage in the working field, more and more demanding specific sector competences.

Regarding Troy

description: “Troy” by Wolfgang Petersen (U.S.A. 2004), a very discussed movie, does not have to be considered as an act of violence towards Homer. In our opinion, it is a peculiar, sometimes provoking, reinterpretation of the Trojan myth, which is seen from an antimilitaristic and anti-imperialistic point of view. The Homeric text and, in general, the Greek epic tradition are sometimes forced, but the Homeric spirit is not completely betrayed. A comparison of the movie with the classical sources to which it is inspired shows that the screenplay is based on a documentation which is much more accurate than it could appear.

description: To compare the various restorative measurements under competitive environment simulation, may become a major challenge to the concepts to preserve the pieces of the world heritage. Test the ability of the protective measurement before putting it into practice. The primary effects as e. g. a cover, a refreshing of the colour, or an improved light reflection can lead to a disaster if the active acting world of microbes gets support by that action. The way out is to implement test-systems in advance, able to judge the protective measurement under different defined conditions simultaneously.

description: The current study examined the effects of cardiorespiratory fitness, identified with a continuous graded cycle ergometry, and aerobic exercise on cognitive functioning and entropy of the electroencephalogram (EEG) in 30 adolescents between the ages of 13 and 14 years. Higher and lower fit participants performed an executive function task after a bout of acute exercise and after rest while watching a film. EEG entropy, using the sample entropy measure, was repeatedly measured during the 1500 ms post-stimulus interval to evaluate changes in entropy over time. Analysis of the behavioral data for lower and higher fit groups revealed an interaction between fitness levels and acute physical exercise. Notably, lower fit, but not higher fit, participants had higher error rates (ER) for No Go relative to Go trials in the rest condition, whereas in the acute exercise condition there were no differences in ER between groups; higher fit participants also had significantly faster reaction times in the exercise condition in comparison with the rest condition. Analysis of EEG data revealed that higher fit participants demonstrated lower entropy post-stimulus than lower fit participants in the left frontal hemisphere, possibly indicating increased efficiency of early stage stimulus processing and more efficient allocation of cognitive resources to the task demands. The results suggest that EEG entropy is sensitive to stimulus processing demands and varies as a function of physical fitness levels, but not acute exercise. Physical fitness, in turn, may enhance cognition in adolescence by facilitating higher functionality of the attentional system in the context of lower levels of frontal EEG entropy.

Interdependent Cyber Physical Systems: Robustness and Cascading Failures

description: The cyber-physical systems (CPS), such as smart grid and intelligent transportation system, permeate into our modern societies recently. The infrastructures in such systems are closely interconnected and related, e.g., the intelligent transportation system is based on the reliable communication system, which requires the stable electricity provided by power grid for the proper function. We call such mutually related systems interdependent networks. This thesis addresses the cascading failure issue in interdependent cyber physical system. We consider CPS as a system that consists of physical-resource and computational-resource networks. The failure in physical-resource network might cause the failures in computational-resource network, and vice versa. This failure may recursively occur and cause a sequence of failures in both networks. In this thesis, we propose two novel interdependence models that better capture the interdependent networks. Then, we study the effect of cascading failures using percolation theory and present the detailed mathematical analysis on failure propagation in the system. By calculating the size of functioning parts in both networks, we analyze the robustness of our models against the random attacks and failures. The cascading failures in smart grid is also investigated, where two types of cascading failures are mixed. We estimate how the node tolerance parameter T (ratio of capacity to initial workload) affect the system performance. This thesis also explores the small clusters. We give insightful views on small cluster in interdependent networks, under different interdependence models and network topologies.
Le transfert intertâche suite à une intervention CO-OP chez les enfants TAC

description: L’approche Orientation Cognitive au Rendement Occupationnel Quotidien (CO-OP) est reconnue pour améliorer le rendement des tâches entraînées chez les enfants avec un trouble d'acquisition de la coordination (TAC). Récemment, son efficacité pour le transfert d’habiletés apprises sur des tâches non entrainées durant les séances d’intervention (transfert intertâche) a été démontrée chez les adultes, ayant subi un accident vasculaire cérébral (AVC). À ce jour, comme aucune étude n’avait exploré le transfert intertache chez les enfants avec TAC, cette étude à cas unique visait à déterminer si CO-OP favoriserait l'amélioration d’une tâche non entraînée, comme chez les adultes. Quatre enfants (7 et 12 ans), avec un TAC, ont reçu 10 séances d’intervention CO-OP, où trois tâches ont été travaillées et une quatrième fut utilisée uniquement pour mesurer le transfert. Le Performance Quality Rating Scale avec définitions (PQRS-OD) a permis de mesurer la performance. Une bande à trois écarts types fut la méthode d’analyse choisie. Contrairement aux adultes, seulement deux des quatre participants ont obtenu un transfert intertâche. Ces résultats indiquent que des recherches supplémentaires sont nécessaires pour déterminer la façon de mieux favoriser un transfert intertâche chez les enfants.

description: Sicily includes a great variety of lithologies, giving a high complexity to the geologic landscape. Their prevalent lithology is sedimentary. It is well known that rocks of sedimentary origin, compared with metamorphic and volcanic deposits, can be relatively soft and hence fairly easy to model. Nevertheless, this workability advantage is a drawback for Cultural Heritage applications. In fact, these materials show a high porosity, with pore-size distributions that lead to deterioration through absorption of water. In this paper, several sedimentary rocks used in historical Cultural Heritage items of Sicily, from "Magna Graecia" to nowadays, are classified for mineralogical features, chemical composition, and for porosity. Particularly, some samples collected in quarries relevant to the archaeological sites of 41 Agrigento, Segesta and Selinunte will be considered and characterized using integrated techniques (XRD, XRF, NMR and CT). Data on samples obtained in laboratory will be compared with the relevant values measured in situ on monuments of historical-cultural interest of the quoted archaeological places.

description: As for the objectives set by the Charter on the Risk of Cultural Heritage and of the Territorial Information System at a regional level and in particular concerning Sicily, the research is aimed at reaching two goals with an integral and consistent approach. The first objective is to collect the necessary information and to carry out an action plan in order to help the person in charge with the cultural unit (museum, library, archive, picture gallery) to reach and keep a good “status” of the cultural heritage and at the same time to keep a high quality of life and work in the cultural unit. The document which will be drafted will provide the basic and general information for the various areas of the working environment that are adjacent to each other. At the same time the document will provide guidelines for the safety and the conservation of the cultural collections of the museum and will have to be adapted to each cultural unit with specific features concerning the “system: manufactures with historical-artistic interest / or interesting for the conservation environment”. Some sites that are considered to be emblematic will be tested, and this is the second objective of the research, they will be carefully chosen as representative of the various, complex and variable logistic and cultural situations of our country and in particular of Sicily.

description: This thesis support paper is the trajectory of my search to uncover what constitutes an aesthetic for my current practice and to unpack what I think the work is about. In this paper I trace the development of my process, identify primary aesthetic preferences, elucidate inspirations, and finally present several interpretations of the work. I came into the MFA program with the intention of moving my practice in animation to an art form that was non-linear and free of a flat projection screen and story arc. Working with materials is important to me and I also wanted to find a way to integrate time-based media with material art forms. What I discovered early in the MFA program is that making this shift in my practice involved understanding how object art generates meaning differently than the animated film does. In the Thesis Exhibition I take ordinary household objects, disrupt them so they are unfamiliar then project animated video of other ordinary objects made strange onto them. The illogical objects and their juxtaposition generates a tension – a cognitive stretching – that gives rise to various readings of the work. Perceptually engaged, I am immersed in a cognitive puzzle trying to make sense of the paradoxes I am experiencing and bring them to a resolution. It continues to astound me to what degree the household objects that I make strange can generate sensation, feeling, and meaning through the amalgam of their motion, gesture, and form, through the way in which they are situated in space and the way in which they relate to one another.

description: This research deals with the Dante Code, catalogued at the Library of the Dante Centre of the "Frati Minori Conventuali"of Ravenna such as manuscript n. 2 and known to the international scientific community with the code: "Phillipps 9589". In detail, the study of the Code has taken into consideration the historical-artistic, diagnostic-material and environmental aspects, with reference to the analytics description and to the excutive techniques, to the characterization of the constituent materials and to the evaluation of the restoration state in relation to the microclimatic parameters of its environmental collocation. According to this, some diagnostic techniques have been carried out in order to highlight the "scriptio inferior" and to create alteration and degradation areas, therefore the aim of creating a documentation based on a digital support has been expressed, with the purpose of finding out the causes of decay and of a possible work of restoration. At last, the microclimatic monitoring has completed the analysis of the manuscript-environment system, coming at a reliable and objective evaluation of the current situation and condition.

description: In the past the unsuitable choices made when choosing products to be used for conservation actions related to artefacts of historic-artistic interest were mainly due to wrong assessments. More specifically this means: insufficient determination of the structure-aspect relation which characterises the original materials that make up the artefacts; insufficient knowledge of the behaviour of new materials due to natural ageing processes which might impoverish them or deprive them of specific qualities; lack of interest in measuring the medium-long term effects and interactions of the artefacts-products-environment system. The latter is sometimes capable of triggering new and more serious factors leading to the deterioration of the artefact sometimes causing even greater damage. In particular this study refers to the aspects related to the potential danger deriving from products used for the different types of conservation interventions on stone materials.

description: INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVOS

Los síntomas psicóticos como alucinaciones y delirios, así como los cuadros depresivos, están frecuentemente asociados al deterioro cognitivo, pudiendo aparecer como síntoma inicial de estos procesos hasta en el 70% de los pacientes.

DESCRIPCIÓN DEL CASO

Varón de 79 años, independiente para las ABVD. Inicia seguimiento en consultas externas en 2024 por sintomatología ansioso-depresiva, en tratamiento con venlafaxina, mirtazapina y haloperidol.

Durante los últimos meses presenta empeoramiento anímico e intensificación de angustia. Su familia describe deterioro progresivo con anhedonia, fallos mnésicos recientes, abandono del autocuidado y pérdida de actividades. Además, describen aparición reciente de ideas de contenido delirante de ruina y culpa que el paciente vive con marcada angustia, por lo que se decide ingreso.

EXPLORACIÓN Y PRUEBAS COMPLEMENTARIAS

Durante el ingreso se aprecia enlentecimiento motor que impresiona de larga evolución con lateralización de marcha. Hipotimia reactiva a ideación deliroide. Apatía. Angustia. Sentimientos de culpa excesiva. No ideas de muerte. Ritmos biológicos desestructurados.

• Se realiza RMN para descartar organicidad del cuadro, objetivándose lesiones microangiopáticas confluyentes, restos de hemosiderina en circunvolución temporal interna izquierda y atrofia cerebral esperable a la edad.

• Test Mini-Mental estima deterioro cognitivo leve (24/30).

DIAGNÓSTICO DIFERENCIAL Y TRATAMIENTO

Dados los fallos mnésicos descritos, podríamos sospechar un cuadro neurodegenerativo. Sin embargo, la rapidez de instauración, la eficaz respuesta al tratamiento neuroléptico, así como los datos extraídos de la anamnesis, orientan a un trastorno depresivo con características psicóticas.

Al suspender haloperidol se evidencia mejoría en la marcha y temblor inicial. Se aumenta dosis de antidepresivo y se introduce olanzapina, distanciándose de la ideación delirante. Al alta, se deriva a Neurología ante el posible inicio de deterioro cognitivo.

DISCUSIÓN Y CONCLUSIONES

La relación entre depresión y trastornos neurocognitivos es compleja. No es extraño observar cuadros depresivos antes de aparecer algún tipo de enfermedad degenerativa, por lo que es importante realizar una completa anamnesis, un estudio de imagen y un abordaje multidisciplinar entre Neurología y Psiquiatría, así como valorar la evolución del cuadro afectivo y la posible aparición posterior de síntomas neurológicos.
Exploring the roles of FK506-binding proteins in chloroplast function and plant development

description: The FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs) are a class of peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase (PPIase) enzymes found in all organisms, comprising large protein families that are localised throughout the cell. FKBPs possess a well conserved FK506-binding domain that forms the active site for PPIase activity, although many isoforms are PPIasedeficient. The FKBP families of higher plants include over twenty members with established roles as molecular chaperones in hormone trafficking and stress response. The chloroplast thylakoid contains half of the plant FKBP population, which have been tentatively linked to regulating photosynthetic membrane function. The aim of this study was to characterise the FKBP families occurring in wheat and other cereals, with particular focus on elucidating their functions in the thylakoid. Identification of the FKBP multigenes in the rice genome uncovered the largest FKBP family so far reported. Bioinformatics characterisation of their proteins revealed unique isoforms in rice and showed that gene duplications have driven expansion of the plant FKBP families. Ten isoforms predicted in the thylakoid of rice, wheat and other cereals were highly conserved with their counterparts in other plants, suggesting specialised and conserved roles for this subfamily. Of these, FKBP13, FKBP16-1 and FKBP16-3 were isolated from the wheat genome and found to be expressed in leaf tissue. Transcription regulation analyses identified a novel promoter element that linked FKBP16-1 with chloroplast biogenesis, while FKBP16-3 expression indicated a role in carbohydrate synthesis. In vitro PPIase assays demonstrated an absence of enzyme activity in both FKBP16-1 and FKBP16-3, suggesting alternative roles in the thylakoid for these isoforms, while FKBP13 was shown to be the first active PPIase reported in a cereal chloroplast. FKBP13, FKBP16-1 and FKBP16-3 were found to interact with specific chloroplast proteins in yeast two-hybrid analysis, indicating roles as specialised chaperones in the thylakoid that may serve to regulate photosynthetic acclimation processes. Mechanisms linking these FKBPs with photosynthetic state transitions and cyclic electron flow around photosystem one are described here, and a hypothesis linking FKBP function to protein phosphorylation is suggested.
Impact of wildfire size on snowshoe hare relative abundance in southern British Columbia, Canada

description: Background: Large wildfires result in more heterogeneous fire scars than do smaller fires because of differences in landscape context and high variability in burn intensity and severity. Previous research on mammal response to wildfire has often considered all fires as comparable disturbances regardless of size. Here, we explicitly examine whether fire size affects relative abundances of a keystone herbivore, snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus Erxleben, 1777), in regenerating stands of the same age. We surveyed vegetation and fecal pellets of snowshoe hares in nine 13-year-old wildfires, specifically, three fires in three size categories—small (80 to 200 ha), medium (1000 to 5000 ha), and large (>10 000 ha)—and in mature forests in southern British Columbia, Canada. Results: Snowshoe hare density was low (0.4 hares ha−1), but hares were present at 57% of mature sites. Hares were absent from all areas where small fires had burned and were found in only one medium area post fire (0.2 hares ha−1). Hares were found within the fire scars of all three large burned areas, and with much higher numbers (3.8 hares ha−1) than in the medium fire area or mature forest. Snowshoe hare abundance was highly correlated with the number of sapling trees, especially lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Douglas ex Loudon). Sapling densities were highly variable, but dense stands of saplings were found only in burn scars from large wildfires. Conclusions: Fire size is an important predictor of snowshoe hare relative abundance in areas that are regenerating post fire; fires of different sizes are not comparable disturbances. Specifically, the post-fire heterogeneity after large fires enabled both the highest hare numbers as well as patches with no hares. These results suggest that forest and wildlife managers should protect areas with dense regeneration post fire, as these sites are necessary for hares after large wildfires.
