Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Establishing the reliability with which stellar population parameters can be measured is vital to extragalactic astronomy. Galactic globular clusters (GCs) provide an excellent medium in which to test the consistency of single stellar population (SSP) models as they should be our best analogue to a homogeneous (single) stellar population. Here we present age, metallicity and alpha-element abundance measurements for 48 Galactic GCs as determined from integrated spectra using Lick indices and SSP models from Thomas, Maraston & Korn, Lee & Worthey and Vazdekis et al. By comparing our new measurements to independent determinations we are able to assess the ability of these SSPs to derive consistent results - a key requirement before application to heterogeneous stellar populations like galaxies. We find that metallicity determinations are extremely robust, showing good agreement for all models examined here, including a range of enhancement methods. Ages and alpha-element abundances are accurate for a subset of our models, with the caveat that the range of these parameters in Galactic GCs is limited. We are able to show that the application of published Lick index response functions to models with fixed abundance ratios allows us to measure reasonable alpha-element abundances from a variety of models. We also examine the age-metallicity and [alpha/Fe]-metallicity relations predicted by SSP models, and characterize the possible effects of varied model horizontal branch morphology on our overall results.

description: Notification of death on 30th September 1917, aged 20, from mustard gas shell in France.
James Ryan was 6ft tall and looked older which was why he was accepted as a volunteer at just 16 years of age.
He joined the Royal Field Artillery as a Gunner (service no. 1385) and was mobilised on the 4th August 1914 from Southampton to Alexandria. He travelled to Cairo, Ismailia, Kantarah, Albania, Port Said and into Turkey, fighting in Gallipoli and the Dardanelles with the '1st/1st Brigade, Royal Field Artillery, 1/4th East Lancs. Battery, Mediterranean Expeditionary Force' (i.e. 213th Brigade, Royal Field Artillery, 42nd Division). Then eventually back to Alexandria, Cairo, Alexandria, Dardenelles, Cairo, Suez, Moses Well to Cairo. During this period he was hospitalised several times with slight knee injury from splinters from a shell burst, several severe attacks of dysentery and was seriously ill with jaundice which keep him in hospital for several weeks. He sailed to Cyprus to a Hospital in Limassol.
He was sent home to England at some point to his parents and young sister Edna, my mother- who will be 96 years old this July and remembers and still grieves for her brother ˜jim-jim'. A gap here in information, but he returned to action and fought in France and Belgium. He states in the attached letter that there isn't a bullet with his name on, which proved correct when Jim was killed by Mustard Gas on 30th September 1917 at the 3rd battle of Passchendale on the Menin Road (serving with 'B' Battery, 210th Brigade Royal Field Artillery, 42nd Division, as Acting Bombadier, no. 705469), and taken to the Mendingham dressing station. He is buried at the Mendingham cemetery where his headstone shows his age as 22yrs old which is incorrect as he had lied about his age when he volunteered.
The fundamental plane of isolated early-type galaxies
Creators: name: Reda, Fatma M.
name: Forbes, Duncan
name: Hau, George K.T.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Here we present new measurements of effective radii, surface brightnesses and internal velocity dispersions for 23 isolated early-type galaxies. The photometric properties are derived from new multicolour imaging of ten galaxies, whereas the central kinematics for seven galaxies are taken from forthcoming work by Hau & Forbes. These are supplemented with data from the literature. We reproduce the colour–magnitude and Kormendy relations and strengthen the result of the recent work of Reda et al. that isolated galaxies follow the same photometric relations as galaxies in high-density environments. We also find that some isolated galaxies reveal fine structure indicative of a recent merger, while others appear undisturbed. We examine the Fundamental Plane both in the traditional Re, μe, σ space and also in κ space. Most isolated galaxies follow the same Fundamental Plane tilt and scatter for galaxies in high-density environments. However, a few galaxies notably deviate from the Plane in the sense of having smaller M/L ratios. This can be understood in terms of their younger stellar populations, which are presumably induced by a gaseous merger. Overall, isolated galaxies have similar properties to those in groups and clusters with a slight enhancement in the frequency of recent mergers/interactions.
Costituzionalismo globale: profili teorici e tendenze evolutive
Creators: name: CARAMASCHI, OMAR
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2021

description: The thesis deals with the phenomenon of global constitutionalism from a mainly theoretical point of view. The concept of constitutionalism will be analyzed from a double perspective beyond the classic reference to statehood, to try to adapt it to the changes produced by globalization in the legal sphere.
The first concerns constitutionalism as a fully global phenomenon, hence the possibility of common constitutional levels that can favor its global convergence.
The second, on the other hand, provides for the mapping of the diffusion of constitutional elements at the transnational, international and global levels, in particular through a gradual constitutionalisation of law and international organizations. Thus global constitutionalism would be an "agenda" or a theoretical "perspective" through which it could be possible to apply constitutional principles in the international and global legal sphere.

Image reconstruction methods for Solar Orbiter STIX
Creators: name: MASSA, PAOLO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2022

description: The Spectrometer/Telescope for Imaging X-rays (STIX) is the instrument of the Solar Orbiter mission conceived for the observation of the X-ray radiation emitted during solar flares. STIX adopts an indirect imaging technique based on the use of modulation collimators, i.e., pairs of grids mounted in front of detectors. By measuring the modulated X-ray photon flux, the telescope provides the complex values of 30 Fourier components of the angular distribution of the X-ray source, named visibilities. Hence, the imaging problem for STIX is the inverse problem of reconstructing the image of the flaring X-ray source from a sparse sampling of its Fourier transform.
In this thesis, we describe the STIX imaging concept and the image reconstruction problem both from visibilities and from photon count measurements. We present different image reconstruction techniques: the count-based Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm, the visibility-based maximum entropy method MEM_GE and a neural network approach for parametric image reconstruction. We test these methods on synthetic STIX data and, in the case of MEM_GE, on real data provided by the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI). We propose a stopping rule for EM based on a predictive risk estimator. This estimator is derived by using a Poisson counterpart of Stein?s lemma for Gaussian variates. We validate the performance of the stopping rule in the case of the STIX imaging problem from synthetic data and in the case of a deconvolution inverse problem. Finally, we present the results of the STIX imaging problem from real data. We describe the first approaches of image reconstruction from semi-calibrated data, i.e., visibility amplitudes only. Then, we provide an overview of the visibility phase calibration, and we show the reconstructions from fully-calibrated visibilities obtained by using several methods, including MEM_GE and EM. The STIX reconstructions are validated by comparison with maps of the same events provided by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly on board the Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO/AIA) in UV wavelengths.

description: We present spatially resolved analysis of a lensed galaxy, SDSS1958+5950 at z = 2.225, from the Cambridge Sloan Survey ofWide Arcs in the Sky. We use our new high-resolution imaging data to construct a robust lens model for the galaxy group at z = 0.214.We employ the updated lens model to combine the Integral Field Spectrographic observations on two highly distorted images of the lensed target. We adopt a forward-modelling approach to deconvolve the effects of point spread function from the combined source-plane reconstruction. The approach is adapted to the lens model magnification and enables a resolution of ~170 pc in the galaxysource plane. We propose an ongoing merger as the origin of the lensed system on the basis of its source-plane morphology, kinematics and rest-frame emission-line ratios. Using our novel technique of adaptive coadded source plane reconstruction, we are able to detect different components in the velocity gradient that were not seen in previous studies of this object, plausibly belonging to different components in the merging system.

Explorative study over perception and acceptance of innovation and the role of communication and information channels: the case of Autonomous Vehicles
Creators: name: SCIACCALUGA, MARTINA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2022

description: This research aims to explore and investigate the reasons behind the public reaction to autonomous vehicles (since, in the opinion of the author, understanding these factors is crucial to ensure a smooth and successful transition toward the future technological era), and, more in details, it aims to investigate the role that the lack of information or the disinformation may have in the acceptance process.
Starting from a sociological and user centered point of view, the following work aims to investigate the human factors involved in the acceptance of autonomous vehicles from a communicative and perceptive perspective.
By putting information and related channels at the center of exploratory reasoning, the author's goal is to understand the effects that communication and information, delivered through different channels, can have on the potential user and, on these assumptions, define a series of useful recommendations for the acceptance of the phenomenon by the public.
What are the gaps to fill? What are the most effective actions and channels to do so? What is the role of communication in the process?
In the body of the thesis, the literature regarding the acceptance of technology and innovation by the user will be analyzed, the determinants and factors that guide the choice will be highlighted and the role of the communicative component within the aforementioned choice will be analyzed. Thanks to the contribution of topical information, a framework relating to the state of the art of the phenomenon in question, autonomous vehicles, will be developed. Through the information derived, we will then proceed to the creation and administration of an exploratory questionnaire with the aim of investigating the knowledge and perception of users about the subject and on the channels through which they have come to the information.
The ultimate goal of the research is to devise a road map of useful actions to be implemented in support of the public acceptance process, completed by a set of recommendations and assumptions.

Colorimetric nanodiagnostics for Point-Of-Care applications: detection of salivary biomarkers and environmental contaminants
Creators: name: DONATI, PAOLO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2021

description: Nanomaterials offer many unique opportunities for the development of effective and rapid point-of-care (POC) devices to be exploited in many fields, including early diagnosis, health monitoring, and pollutant detection. In particular, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) exhibit tunable catalytic and plasmonic properties, which are key enabling tools to design and develop innovative detection schemes in several sensing applications. The aim of this PhD project was the development of AuNPs-based colorimetric POCs to detect heavy metal ion contaminations and specific biomarkers in non-invasive biological fluids. First, we developed a novel strategy that exploits the combination of the plasmonic and catalytic properties of AuNPs to achieve an ultrafast (1 min) and sensitive colorimetric sensor for highly toxic methyl mercury. Taking advantage of the AuNP nanocatalyst to promote the rapid reduction of methyl mercury with nucleation on the particle surface and consequent aggregation-induced plasmonic shift, we were able to detect by naked-eye mercury contaminations as low as 20 ppb, which is relevant for food contaminations or biological fluid assessment. Moreover, an innovative and versatile platform, based on multibranched AuNPs, was developed for the detection of salivary biomarkers. Coupling etching and growing reactions in a reshaping process onto the nanostars surface, we created a customizable platform with boosted color change readout for fast detection of salivary glucose at low concentrations. The nanosensor performance was validated on samples from patients with diabetes, proving its potential as a novel non-invasive tool for frequent monitoring of glycaemia. As side project we also investigated the platinum nanoparticles enzymatic activity in a colorimetric sensor for inorganic mercury contamination monitoring in water sources.

description: Photograph of Ernest Gregory, Sheffield (born 1894). When war broke out - as a conscientious objector he refused to fight - he volunteered and joined the RAMC. He served as a stretcher-bearer and was gassed, and suffered from the effects until his death in 1976. The family's collection includes Gregory's medals which include a 1914-15 Star (225 Pte E. Gregory RAMC), and a Military Medal (405152 Pte E. Gregory 1/3 W. Rid. F.A. RAMC [1/3rd West Riding Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps]). The reverse of the card includes "love from Ernest March 31 17". In the writing of Ernest's wife (Jessie)'s brother "Military Medal gained at Paschendaele for Bravery in the Field for bringing in the wounded from the field in terrible conditions - under fire and through shell holes and mud filled with water up to the armpits".

Editor's Comment:

Pte. Gregory wears a Red Cross Armband, Small Box Respirator over his shoulder, and the belt of the Pattern 1914 Infantry Equipment with brace attachments - these were introduced for non-combatants who did not wear ammunition pouches.

Impatto del COVID-19 sui decessi ospedalieri. Analisi della casistica in relazione alla diagnosi molecolare di infezione da SARS-CoV-2

description: L?infezione da SARS-CoV-2 determina una malattia (COVID-19) che si manifesta dal punto di vista clinico con sintomatologia respiratoria estremamente variabile in termini di gravit�.
L?assenza di una terapia specifica in grado di arrestare la replicazione virale ha destato fin da subito grande preoccupazione, soprattutto in relazione all?elevata percentuale di pazienti critici deceduti.
I tassi di mortalit� descritti nei vari paesi sono estremamente variegati, a causa di diversi fattori, sia geografici che socio-economici, ma soprattutto per l?estrema variabilit� con cui viene posta la diagnosi di infezione. Tale elemento si riflette direttamente sulla stima del rapporto tra soggetti deceduti e casi di infezione accertata.
Attualmente il metodo pi� affidabile per la diagnosi � l?analisi molecolare dell?RNA virale mediante (rt)-Real Time PCR su campioni di tessuto dalle vie respiratorie prelevati con un tampone naso-faringeo, anche se i dati sull?accuratezza del test sono variabili a seconda del sito di prelievo (nasale o faringeo).
Lo scopo di questo studio � analizzare i decessi verificatisi in due delle maggiori realt� ospedaliere della regione Liguria, nel corso della prima ondata pandemica, ponendo a confronto le cause di morte certificate con i risultati diagnostici ottenuti attraverso la diagnosi molecolare sui prelievi effettuati mediante i tamponi naso-faringei, al fine di elaborare un valido strumento utile per la valutazione dell?effettiva incidenza della pandemia sul tasso di mortalit� complessivo.
I risultati ottenuti evidenziano una buona concordanza tra le diagnosi di morte con COVID-19 e il riscontro di almeno un tampone positivo (89.68%), nonostante in 45 casi (10.32%) la diagnosi clinica non risulti associata ad alcuna conferma molecolare.
Dall?analisi � emerso un aumento effettivo del tasso di mortalit�, al punto che, confrontando anche solo il numero assoluto di decessi con quello dell?anno precedente nello stesso periodo (1058 contro 660), risulta un aumento del 60,3%, a fronte di un?infezione SARS-CoV-2 riconosciuta tra le cause del decesso solo nel 41,3% dei casi.
Lo studio evidenzia i limiti intrinseci della procedura e i riflessi negativi sui metodi di calcolo del tasso di mortalit�, aspetto che alimenta le incertezze sulla reale incidenza della pandemia.

description: Charles Percival Gill was a corporal in the R.A.M.C. Before the Great War he was a member of the Camborne Company (Cornwall) of the Wessex Field Ambulance and was drafted straight into the R.A.M.C. at the start of the war.
He was awarded the Military Medal at the second Battle of Passchendale. I have a letter from the 24th Battalion Loyal North Lancs Regiment, to which his Wessex Field Ambulance was attached, stating that he was awarded the medal for work during the attack on 26th Oct. 1917. I have tried to find the full citation but have been told that many of the Great War records were lost in the bombing raids in the Second World War. I have been told that he was bringing back wounded from the front line under fire when a shell fell among their stretcher party. One of the wounded men was thrown into a deep shell hole filled with water, mud, bodies and debris. My grandfather went down into the shell hole and brought the wounded man out and back to the dressing post.

My grandfather Gill died forty years ago, but as I was interested in the First World War, I did ask him about it when I was younger. I gathered that he was critical of the conduct of the war and the terrible loss of life. He had dreams about it when he was ill and dying. He was a private and modest man. After the war he did not parade with the other ex-service men on Armistice Day. When asked why, he said that he remembered his friends who had died every day.

Qualit� delle Relazioni Familiari e Funzionamento Psicosociale in Adolescenza: il Ruolo della Mentalizzazione Genitoriale in Famiglie Separate e Intatte / Quality of Family Relationships and Psychosocial Functioning during Adolescence: the Role of Parental Mentalization in Separated and Intact Families
Creators: name: BASTIANONI, CHIARA

description: Adolescence represents a transitional period of profound changes at emotional, cognitive, social and behavioral levels, with significant consequences for the overall psychosocial adjustment. Moreover, this phase entails a crisis of conventional family roles, hence requiring a gradual reorganization and redefinition of family relationships. As a matter of fact, during adolescence individuals are driven to seek greater independence, autonomy and differentiation from their primary caregivers, additionally experiencing new attachment relationships. Nevertheless, within this developmental phase parental figures continue to represent a fundamental source of security by offering emotional availability in situations of distress and thus supporting adolescents? efforts aimed to gain greater autonomy. Starting from these assumptions, and considering the importance of monitoring the adolescence phase not only in terms of presence/absence of clinical symptoms but also looking at adolescents? perception of wellbeing and satisfaction experienced in different life contexts, the present multi-method, cross-sectional research aimed to explore the possible role played by Parental Reflective Functioning (PRF; Slade, 2005) in influencing adolescents? psychosocial functioning and quality of family relationships within both intact and separated families.
Given this general objective, the present contribution has been organized in three different chapters focused on specific aims and hypothesis, which also considered different individual and relational outcomes. The sample included 72 family triads (42 intact ? 30 separated; N = 216 subjects) composed by mother, father and adolescent child aged 13-19 years (M = 15.54, SD = 1.54, 53% girls). The main results showed that: 1) separated parents reported lower levels of PRF compared to united once, while mothers generally reported higher levels of PRF compared to the paternal figures; 2) parental mentalizing was positively associated with quality of family relationships ? in terms of adolescents? attachment dimensional indexes, family satisfaction and perceived parenting; 3) paternal PRF acted as a moderator in the relation between the specific family organization and family satisfaction reported by adolescents, in other words the association between the presence of separated parents and low family satisfaction was significant only at low levels of paternal PRF. In addition, the psychometric properties of the Reflective Functioning Five-Minute Speech Sample (RF-FMSS; Adkins & Fonagy, 2017) were presented. Within the conclusions section, theoretical and clinical implications have been further discussed.

Editor's Comment:
The Ambulance bears the painted insignia of the 18th (Eastern) Division to the right of the Red Cross: A.T.N., when pronounced rapidly, sounds like 'Eighteen'. The insignia to the left of the Red Cross is a late war variant of the 18th Divisional MT Company.

description: A snooker ball model implies that simple, linear and predictable social change follows from the introduction of new technologies. Unfortunately technology does not have and has never had simple linear predictable social impacts. In this chapter we show that in most measurable ways, the pervasiveness of modern information and communication technologies has had little discernable 'impact' on most human behaviours of sociological significance. Historians of technology remind us that human society co-evolves with the technology it invents and that the eventual social and economic uses of a technology often turn out to be far removed from those originally envisioned. Rather than using the snooker ball model to attempt to predict future ICT usage and revenue models that are inevitably wrong, we suggest that truly participatory, grounded innovation, open systems and adaptive revenue models can lead us to a more effective, flexible and responsive innovation process.

We confirm that an evolving bar is able to transfer a small amount of angular momentum to the star cluster system, in good agreement with observations forGalactic bulge clusters. In the case of a realistic mass model, in which the bar slows down and grows in size, the star cluster escapers evolve in a configuration consistent with that expected for a classical bulge and share comparable kinematic properties with the spheroidal metal-poor component identified within the bulge of the Milky Way. Our results are consistent with a scenario in which the bulge of the Milky Way has a composite nature, with the star clusters belonging and contributing to a primordial pressure-supported component.
Wild Card: the Dorothy Hewett song cycle by Moya Henderson: a musical reading of an autobiographical text

description: This study seeks to demonstrate that Wild Card: the Dorothy Hewett song cycle for soprano,cello and piano by Moya Henderson, which consists of fifteen settings of short extracts from the first volume of Dorothy Hewett's autobiography, is an autobiographical work on the part
of the composer, in terms of both the product and the process by which it was created.
In the latter half of the twentieth century, autobiography came to be understood among literary critics more as an expression of subjective experience than of objective observation, and it is in the light of that literary-critical account of the nature and content of autobiography and the
experience of the reader, seen in the work of scholars such as James Olney, John Colmer and Estelle Jelinek that Henderson's song cycle is examined. Relying exclusively on information available in the public domain, the potential for Hewett's words to become an element of Henderson's own autobiographical expression is explored through a comparison of the life stories of the two women. The particular text choices Henderson made are then examined, and ways in which they can be understood to relate to an
aspect of her own life story distinct from that of Hewett are presented. Finally, eight of the fifteen songs are analysed using a method which allows for extra-musical meanings to be identified, in order to show that Henderson's musical readings of Hewett's texts can be deemed to be autobiographical.
Study of a cyclic nucleotide-mediated mechanism that could favor an antiaggregant conformation of tau protein

description: Tau is a protein which normally participates in the assembly and stability of microtubules. However, under pathological conditions, it can form aggregated and hyperphosphorylated structures that are associated with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer?s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders known as tauopathies. Tau can be phosphorylated by multiple kinases at several sites. Among such kinases, the cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylates tau at Ser214 (pTAU-S214), an event that exerts a protective effect against the assembly of the protein. The activation of PKA by cAMP also sustains long-term potentiation (LTP), a form of synaptic plasticity, through the stimulation of A? production. In a similar manner, cGMP was found to boost A? levels and to favour LTP and memory, but an effect of cGMP on tau phosphorylation has never been reported. To investigate this issue, we first verified the effect of cAMP-enhancing treatments on pTAUS214 and then evaluated the possibility of a PKG-induced phosphorylation of tau.
Different cAMP and cGMP enhancing strategies were used in different model systems: neuro N2a cells, rat hippocampal slices and adult male C57BL/6 mice. Phosphorylation of tau was analyzed by immunoblotting, gene silencing, in vitro enzymatic assays and nano-HPLC mass spectrometry. Aggregation of tau was evaluated by gel electrophoresis and thioflavin T-binding assay. Our data confirm that cAMP stimulates the phosphorylation of tau at Ser214, as expected, but not at Ser202, which is considered one of the earliest markers of tau aggregation. Furthermore, we report for the first time that the cGMP-activated PKG phosphorylates tau at Ser214 and other 7 Ser/Thr tau residues, but not Ser202. Also, preliminary results indicate that PKG phosphorylation could reduce the aggregating capacity of tau. Taken together, our results demonstrate the existence of a PKG-mediated
mechanism that might shift tau from a pro-aggregant to an anti-aggregant conformation, which has been reported to exert neuroprotective functions.

description: Pervaporation separation of isopropanol–butanol–ethanol (IBE) aqueous mixture was carried out using polydimethylsiloxane (PMDS) membranes containing 5, 10, and 15 wt.% of nanosized SiO2. PDMS/SiO2 membranes prepared by solution-casting technique were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Sorption experiments were performed at 30 °C, 40 °C, and 50 °C, and the interaction parameters between the pure components and the membrane were calculated. Further, the activity coefficients, excess Gibbs energies, and binary interaction parameters of organic-water binary systems at different temperatures were estimated using the UNIFAC method. A single-component permeation through pristine PDMS and nanocomposite PDMS membranes, as well as the pervaporation separation performance of PDMS-based membranes at different temperatures for a model IBE mixture with a concentration of 20 g·L−1, were investigated. The pervaporation results showed that the highest butanol permeability (15514 Barrer) and selectivity (102.6) values were obtained for 5 wt.% and 15 wt.% SiO2-filled PDMS membranes at 30 °C, respectively.
Estimating Time Spent On-Line At Small Area Levels: A Spatial Microsimulation Approach

ICT use

description: There is an acknowledged need for a more locally oriented analysis of access to and usage of 'information society' services which can differentiate between patterns across relatively small geographical areas and which can support analysis of the local, individual and national factors that may be causing social, economic and digital exclusion. There is however a paucity of data and methods that can support this need. This paper reports preliminary results from the development of a method to estimate patterns of general and ICT focused time use at small area levels (2001 Lower Layer Super Output Areas) using spatial microsimulation. The paper describes the method and provides a number of results for the Eastern region as well as for two wards in Newcastle based on the 2000 Office for National Statistics Time-Use Survey. The paper discusses the reliability of the results and indicates directions for future research. This record was migrated from the OpenDepot repository service in June, 2017 before shutting down.

description: The present doctoral research is circumscribed in a topic of comparative constitutional law, such it is the Migration of Constitutional Ideas. In this sense, the research aims to examine how this phenomenon has been materialized in the jurisprudence of the Colombian Constitutional Court, because of the incorporation of foreign jurisprudential doctrines, with regard to the limits to the power of constitutional amendment; the object of the constitutional review; and the extension of the sources of law as an instrument of normative integration and parameter of constitutional review. To achieve this purpose, the study includes an analysis and a critical exposition of the global context in which this phenomenon has developed, as well as its concrete application regarding local Constitutional Courts at a global level; and finally, regarding the Colombian case.
