Cultural resources, local products and technological innovations: a possible web marketing model to support of the Val di Noto’s development
Creators: name: Sturiale, Luisa
name: Trovato, Maria Rosa
Publisher: name: Aestimum
Year: 2016

description: The Val di Noto is an area characterized by historical, cultural, architectural and urban heritage that belonging to the WHL, but also, by other highly qualified resources of the environmental, agricultural, social and political-institutional type. An strategic planning approach may help to create a coordinated and sustainable development for all the territorial components and, therefore, may generate a sustainable socioeconomic development. In particular, in the era of globalization, the territorial marketing has a new field of action, the internet marketspace, and new tools to support the marketing actions by the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). The study proposes a methodological approach to analyze the efficiency of the web marketing in the Management Plan of the area.

description: Income inequality is rising around the world. Increased income inequality has been linked with higher rates of crime, greater debt, and poorer health, but the mechanisms linking inequality to poor outcomes among individuals are poorly understood. This research tested a behavioral account linking inequality to individual decision making. The account suggests that more unequal outcomes lead people to perceive that they need more resources to be satisfied. Higher perceived needs, in turn, motivate greater risk taking to meet those needs. Results of three experiments and an analysis of large-scale internet search data supported the proposed account. Results suggest that inequality may promote a range of poor outcomes, in part, by increasing risky behavior.

description: In this paper, we explore the significant, non-linear impact that stellar winds have on H ii regions. We perform a parameter study using three-dimensional radiative magnetohydrodynamic simulations of wind and ultraviolet radiation feedback from a 35 Msun star formed self-consistently in a turbulent, self-gravitating cloud, similar to the Orion Nebula (M42) and its main ionizing source Theta 1 Ori C. Stellar winds suppress early radiative feedback by trapping ionizing radiation in the shell around the wind bubble. Rapid breakouts of warm photoionized gas ('champagne flows') still occur if the star forms close to the edge of the cloud. The impact of wind bubbles can be enhanced if we detect and remove numerical overcooling caused by shocks crossing grid cells. However, the majority of the energy in the wind bubble is still lost to turbulent mixing between the wind bubble and the gas around it. These results begin to converge if the spatial resolution at the wind bubble interface is increased by refining the grid on pressure gradients. Wind bubbles form a thin chimney close to the star, which then expands outwards as an extended plume once the wind bubble breaks out of the dense core the star formed in, allowing them to expand faster than a spherical wind bubble. We also find wind bubbles mixing completely with the photoionized gas when the H ii region breaks out of the cloud as a champagne flow, a process we term 'hot champagne'.

description: The pandemic has made visible the need for hospitals to offer the adapted working conditions and to deliver a service of the highest quality. Healthcare workers are leaving the sector faster than ever because of poor working conditions, lack of an adequate work-life balance, and work-related safety and health risks, which were exacerbated during the pandemic. Gender Equality Plans (GEPs) are a proven method to initiate a process of sustainable institutional change to the benefit of the quality of care, that is linked to the motivation and well-being of the people working in hospitals.

description: In the hot and dense hadronic sources formed in high energy heavy ion collisions, the particle interactions in medium might lead to a measurable back-to-back correlation (BBC) of boson-antiboson pairs. We calculate the BBC functions of $ϕ\,ϕ$ and $K^+K^-$ for anisotropic expanding sources. The dependences of the BBC on the particle momentum and source expanding velocity are investigated. The results indicate that the BBC functions increase with the magnitude of particle momentum and exhibit an obvious dependence on the direction of the momentum for the anisotropic sources. As the source expanding velocity decreases, the BBC function decreases when the particle momentum is approximately perpendicular to the source velocity, and the BBC function increases when the particle momentum is approximately parallel to the source velocity.

description: We demonstrate a new statistical method of determining the global photometric properties of the Milky Way (MW) to an unprecedented degree of accuracy, allowing our Galaxy to be compared directly to objects measured in extragalactic surveys. Capitalizing on the high-quality imaging and spectroscopy dataset from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), we exploit the inherent dependence of galaxies' luminosities and colors on their total stellar mass, $\mathrm{M}_\star$, and star formation rate (SFR), $\mathrm{\dot{M}}_\star$, by selecting a sample of $Milky$ $Way$ $analog$ $galaxies$ designed to reproduce the best Galactic $\mathrm{M}_\star$ and $\mathrm{\dot{M}}_\star$ measurements, including all measurement uncertainties. Making the Copernican assumption that the MW is not extraordinary amongst galaxies of similar stellar mass and SFR, we then analyze the photometric properties of this matched sample, constraining the characteristics of our Galaxy without suffering interference from interstellar dust. We explore a variety of potential systematic errors that could affect this method, and find that they are subdominant to random uncertainties. We present both SDSS $ugriz$ absolute magnitudes and colors in both rest-frame $z$=0 and $z$=0.1 passbands for the MW, which are in agreement with previous estimates but can have up to $\sim$3$\times$ lower errors. We find the MW to have absolute magnitude $^0\!M_r-5\log h=-21.00_{-0.37}^{+0.38}$ and integrated color $^0(g-r)=0.682_{-0.056}^{+0.066}$, indicating that it may belong to the green-valley region in color-magnitude space and ranking it amongst the brightest and reddest of spiral galaxies. We also present new estimates of global stellar mass-to-light ratios for our Galaxy. This work will help relate our in-depth understanding of the Galaxy to studies of more distant objects.

description: The rurality index has been explored using Spatial Statistical Techniques, Multicriteria Decision Support System and Cluster Analysis to obtain areas with homogenous characteristics. The profile outlined is an effective tool to support decision-makers in defining actions aimed to the development of rural areas, in view of a global rationalization and optimization of resources. To check the consistency of results, the model was tested within Basilicata region, which is well-known to the authors and which has been extensively investigated with regard to its levels of rurality. The results show eight homogeneous areas, classified in relation to the Rural Index. The results obtained enable locating resources based on specific needs.

description: Phaneroptera falcata , Metrioptera bicolor, Arcyptera fusca und Psophus stridulus sind charakteristische Arten der Trockenwiesen und -weiden tieferer und höherer Lagen. Die die zweite Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts kennzeichnende Intensivierung der Landwirtschaft (systematischer Einsatz von Kunstdünger, Erhöhung der Anzahl Schnitte pro Jahr oder Zunahme des Tierbesatzes) hatte eine Degradierung und Zerstückelung dieses wertvollen Grünlandes zur Folge. Dies führte zur schnellen und starken Abnahme sowohl der Anzahl als auch der Grösse der Populationen der stenöken Arten, die darin leben. Auch wenn sich diese Abnahme in den letzten zehn bis fünfzehn Jahren verlangsamt hat, wie die scheinbare Stabilität der Populationen der vier oben genannten Arten bestätigt, so ist die Zukunft dieser Lebensräume noch lange nicht gesichert. Die neuesten Entwicklungen in der Graslandbewirtschaftung, verbunden mit je nach Region grossflächiger Nutzungsaufgabe oder ungebremster Überbauung, können die positive Wirkung des nationalen Trockenwiesen- und -weidenschutzes und der Massnahmen zur Förderung des ökologischen Ausgleichs und der ökologischen Qualität im Agrarland zunichte machen. Die folgenden landwirtschaftlichen Praktiken sind für die Fauna sehr schädlich und breiten sich tendenziell immer mehr aus: die Mahd mit Kreiselmäher, das sofortige Aufladen und Aufbereiten des Futters, die Bewässerung von Steppenrasen und Trockenweiden, der Einsatz von Rodungsfräsen auf steinigem Grünland und die Umwandlung von Weiden in Wiesen.

Raising the dead: experimental and metaphysical approaches of rehydrating ancient mummified human tissue
Creators: name: Petrie, Lara
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Ancient Egyptian mummies have played myriad roles throughout various aspects of global social, cultural, and medical histories, but have always been key touchstones in the representation and understanding of both ancient Egyptian culture and the broader study of archaeological human remains. Historically, the scientific study of these mummified individuals has spanned many disciplines and methodologies. Rehydration of ancient mummified tissues was first employed by Egyptologist Sir Marc Ruffer in the early 1900s, but thereafter was rapidly co-opted by the field of modern forensic science. Subsequently, rehydration has rarely been employed in purely bioarchaeological contexts. Attempting to recontextualise rehydration within bioarchaeological contexts, this thesis spans the discourses of the ethics of human remains study and display, the roles of performativity and biocultural theories of religion in the current state of Egyptological praxes, and our current understanding and depiction of ancient Egyptian mortuary philosophies. From a theoretical platform of embodiment, this research considers how ancient Egyptian notions of postmortem agency and cohesive social identity allow exploration of the potential physical and metaphysical impacts and interactions of the partial or total rehydration of mummified individuals. In focusing on the potential for metaphysical interactions with the deceased, this thesis explores notions of extended cognition and networks of identity, seeking an empathetic reconstruction of connections with the ancient dead as real human beings, through death and into memory.

description: L’attributo dell’edificabilità ai suoli urbani è oggetto di leggi urbanistiche e norme tributarie in contrasto tra loro. Diverse leggi urbanistiche regionali prevedono un percorso di conformazione della proprietà in più tappe, mentre la legge nazionale urbanistica discrimina solo tra aree agricole e aree edificabili. Il saggio approfondisce tale contraddizione sotto il profilo delle diverse normative e prende in esame un caso di studio allo scopo di verificare se, e come, i mercati si sono organizzati. Le elaborazioni evidenziano nuove segmentazioni del mercato fondiario: i prezzi si rivelano infatti articolati in funzione dell’incertezza relativa alla futura edificabilità distinguendo valori a loro volta funzione delle diverse fasi del processo di pianificazione.

description: The majority of genetic variants associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are located outside of genes in noncoding regions that may regulate gene expression in disease-relevant tissues, like pancreatic islets. Here, we present the largest integrated analysis to date of high-resolution, high-throughput human islet molecular profiling data to characterize the genome (DNA), epigenome (DNA packaging), and transcriptome (gene expression). We find that T2D genetic variants are enriched in regions of the genome where transcription Regulatory Factor X (RFX) is predicted to bind in an islet-specific manner. Genetic variants that increase T2D risk are predicted to disrupt RFX binding, providing a molecular mechanism to explain how the genome can influence the epigenome, modulating gene expression and ultimately T2D risk.

description: Urban parks (UPs) play a fundamental role in improving the quality of living in urban areas since they can produce many types of benefits for the inhabitants. In the last years scholars have devoted a lot of effort to estimating the economic value of these benefits. The literature review has shown that previous studies are not free of bias and limitations, but they contributed towards improving our knowledge on the benefits that UPs produce and the methodologies that can be used to estimate them. As a general results it is possible to state that in many cases the flow of benefits largely overcomes the management costs so the UPs seem to produce a net gain for the citizens.

description: Organizations with large-scale inventory systems typically have a large proportion of items for which demand is intermittent and low volume. We examine different approaches to forecasting for such products, paying particular attention to the need for inventory planning over a multi-period lead-time when the underlying process may be non-stationary. We develop a forecasting framework based upon the zero-inflated Poisson distribution (ZIP), which enables the explicit evaluation of the multi-period lead-time demand distribution in special cases and an effective simulation scheme more generally. We also develop performance measures related to the entire predictive distribution, rather than focusing exclusively upon point predictions. The ZIP model is compared to a number of existing methods using data on the monthly demand for 1,046 automobile parts, provided by a US automobile manufacturer. We conclude that the ZIP scheme compares favorably to other approaches, including variations of Croston's method as well as providing a straightforward basis for inventory planning.

In anderen Gegenden kommen sie hingegen nur vereinzelt vor, vor allem im Jura, im Mittelland und in den Nordalpen. Gemeinsam leben sie in steinigen Trockenwiesen und -weiden im Wallis, wo sie durch die Intensivierung der Landwirtschaft (vgl. oben) bedroht sind. Sie besiedeln aber auch verschiedene Pionierstandorte: Wiesen mit offenen Bodenstellen und Felsplatten, oft am Rand von Weinbergen, Steinbrüchen oder Kiesgruben. In der nördlichen Hälfte der Schweiz, wo die beiden Arten nur selten zusammen vorkommen, sind ihre oft isolierten und kleinen Populationen in mehreren Regionen am Abnehmen. Sie sind Opfer der Ausweitung der Rebberge und der Überbauung von gut exponierten Hängen.

description: In transcription-coupled repair (TCR), nucleotide excision repair occurs most rapidly in the template strand of actively transcribed genes. TCR has been observed in a limited set of genes directly assayed in Escherichia coli cells. In vitro, Mfd translocase performs reactions necessary to mediate TCR: It removes RNA polymerase blocked by a template strand lesion and rapidly delivers repair enzymes to the lesion. This study applied excision repair sequencing methodology to map the location of repair sites in different E. coli strains. Results showed that Mfd-dependent TCR is widespread in the E. coli genome. Results with UvrD helicase demonstrated its role in basal repair, but no overall role in TCR.

description: This paper provides an information theoretic analysis of the signal-noise separation problem in Singular Spectrum Analysis. We present a signal-plus-noise model based on the Karhunen-Lo? expansion and use this model to motivate the construction of a minimum description length criterion that can be employed to select both the window length and the signal. We show that under very general regularity conditions the criterion will identify the true signal dimension with probability one as the sample size increases, and will choose the smallest window length consistent with the Whitney embedding theorem. Empirical results obtained using simulated and real world data sets indicate that the asymptotic theory is reflected in observed behaviour, even in relatively small samples.

This yields new examples of non-Kähler compact complex manifolds having free fundamental groups. We then investigate their analytic and geometric invariants such as the Kodaira and algebraic dimension, the Picard group and the deformation theory, thus extending results due to Lárusson and to Seade and Verjovsky. As a byproduct, we see that the Schottky construction allows to recover examples of equivariant compactifications of SL(2,C)/Γfor Γa discrete free loxodromic subgroup of SL(2,C), previously obtained by A. Guillot.

description: Spontaneous pattern formation in a variety of spatially extended nonlinear system always occurs through a modulation instability: homogeneous state of the system becomes unstable with respect to growing modulation modes. Therefore, the manipulation of the modulation instability is of primary importance in controlling and manipulating the character of spatial patterns initiated by that instability. We show that the spatio-temporal periodic modulation of the potential of the spatially extended system results in a modification of its pattern forming instability. Depending on the modulation character the instability can be partially suppressed, can change its spectrum (for instance the long wave instability can transform into short wave instability), can split into two, or can be completely eliminated. The latter result is of especial practical interest, as can be used to stabilize the intrinsically unstable system. The result bears general character, as it is shown here on a universal model of Complex Ginzburg-Landau equations in one and two spatial dimension (and time). The physical mechanism of instability suppression can be applied to a variety of intrinsically unstable dissipative systems, like self-focusing lasers, reaction-diffusion systems, as well as in unstable conservative systems, like attractive Bose Einstein condensates.

These networks mainly coordinate cellular functions including endocytosis, actin remodeling, and other intracellular signaling pathways. They are well characterized in structural terms, except for the internal EH domain from human γ-synergin (EHγ). Here, we complete the family of EH domain structures by determining the solution structure of the EHγ domain. The structural ensemble follows the canonical EH domain fold and the identified binding site is similar to other known EH domains. But EHγ differs significantly in the N- and C-terminal regions. The N-terminal α-helix is shortened compared to known homologues, while the C-terminal one is fully formed. A significant proportion of the remaining N- and C-terminal regions are well structured, a feature not seen in other EH domains. Single mutations in both the N-terminal and the C-terminal structured extensions lead to the loss of the distinct three-dimensional fold and turn EHγ into a molten globule like state. Therefore, we propose that the structural extensions in EHγ function as a clamp and are undoubtedly required to maintain its tertiary fold.

description: Monetary metric is useful whenever it is necessary a cost/benefit assessment that implies a change of the degree of individuals and families well-being. The work is devoted to investigate and assess the impact of Environmental and Social Quality (ESQu) on Subjective Well-Being (SWB) at regional scale, keeping under control the individual heterogeneity. After a brief introduction, the application of the Life Satisfaction Approach (LSA) on a large data-base of Italian official statistical source, allows establishing the operative practicality of this method through monetization of the impact of some externalities. In this direction and by way of an example, some regional differentials, in terms of environmental and social benefits-costs, are highlighted and their impact on GDP is estimated.

description: This paper argues that VAR models with cointegration and common cycles can be usefully viewed as observable factor models. The factors are linear combinations of lagged levels and lagged differences, and as such, these observable factors have potential for forecasting. We illustrate this forecast potential in both a Monte Carlo and empirical setting, and demonstrate the difficulties in developing forecasting "rules of thumb" for forecasting in multivariate systems.

Anonconotus alpinus

description: Anonconotus alpinus ist eine Art mit sehr beschränktem Verbreitungsgebiet in den Voralpen und den westlichen Alpen, wo sie sehr lokal vorkommt. Die trotz intensiver Suche in dieser Region wenigen neuen Fundorte der letzten Jahre weisen auf eine gewisse Seltenheit hin. Die Art besiedelt offene, steinige Stellen in kurzrasigen Weiden höherer Lagen, welche oft mit Wacholder und Zwergsträuchern durchsetzt sind. Ihre Seltenheit, verbunden mit dem Risiko einer sich verändernden Bewirtschaftung ihres Lebensraumes (v. a. Rodungsfräsen), stellt eine eindeutige Gefahr für ihre Populationen dar.

description: UV and ambient light-induced modifications and related degradation of therapeutic proteins are observed during manufacturing and storage. Therefore, to ensure product quality, protein formulations need to be analyzed with respect to photo-degradation processes and eventually protected from light exposure. This task usually demands the application and combination of various analytical methods. This review addresses analytical aspects of investigating photo-oxidation products and related mediators such as reactive oxygen species generated via UV and ambient light with well-established and novel techniques.
Dense Dark Matter Hairs Spreading Out from Earth, Jupiter and Other Compact Bodies

description: It is shown that compact bodies project out strands of concentrated dark matter filaments henceforth simply called hairs. These hairs are a consequence of the fine-grained stream structure of dark matter halos, and as such constitute a new physical prediction of $Λ$CDM. Using both an analytical model of planetary density and numerical simulations utilizing the Fast Accurate Integrand Renormalization (FAIR) algorithm (a fast geodesics calculator described below) with realistic planetary density inputs, dark matter streams moving through a compact body are shown to produce hugely magnified dark matter densities along the stream velocity axis going through the center of the body. Typical hair density enhancements are $10^7$ for Earth and $10^8$ for Jupiter. The largest enhancements occur for particles streaming through the core of the body that mostly focus at a single point called the root of the hair. For the Earth, the root is located at about $10^6$~km from the planetary center with a density enhancement of around $10^9$ while for a gas giant like Jupiter, the root is located at around $10^{5}$~km with a enhancement of around $10^{11}$. Beyond the root, the hair density precisely reflects the density layers of the body providing a direct probe of planetary interiors.

description: In the classical approach to statistical hypothesis testing the role of the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative H1 is very asymmetric. Power, calculated from the distribution of the test statistic under H1, is treated as a theoretical construct that can be used to guide the choice of an appropriate test statistic or sample size, but power calculations do not explicitly enter the testing process in practice. In a significance test a decision to accept or reject H0 is driven solely by an examination of the strength of evidence against H0, summarized in the P-value calculated from the distribution of the test statistic under H0. A small P-value is taken to represent strong evidence against H0, but it need not necessarily indicate strong evidence in favour of H1. More recently, Moerkerke et al. (2006) have suggested that the special status of H0 is often unwarranted or inappropriate, and argue that evidence against H1 can be equally meaningful. They propose a balanced treatment of both H0 and H1 in which the classical P-value is supplemented by the P-value derived under H1. The alternative P-value is the dual of the null P-value and summarizes the evidence against a target alternative. Here we review how the dual P-values are used to assess the evidential tension between H0 and H1, and use decision theoretic arguments to explore a balanced hypothesis testing technique that exploits this evidential tension. The operational characteristics of balanced hypothesis tests is outlined and their relationship to conventional notions of optimal tests is laid bare. The use of balanced hypothesis tests as a conceptual tool is illustrated via model selection in linear regression and their practical implementation is demonstrated by application to the detection of cancer-specific protein markers in mass spectroscopy.

description: Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is a widespread potent carcinogen found in food, coal tar, cigarette smoke, and industrial smoke. Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, and the mutagenesis in smoking-associated lung cancer is determined by multiple factors, including nucleotide excision repair. We have developed a general method for genome-wide mapping of nucleotide excision repair at single-nucleotide resolution and applied it to generate repair maps of UV- and BaP-induced DNA damage in human. Results show a novel sequence specificity of BaP diol epoxide-deoxyguanosine repair. This general method can be used to study repair of all types of DNA damages that undergo nucleotide excision repair.
«Demonopolizzazione» delle competenze in materia di coltivazione di organismi geneticamente modificati: forma europea e livelli territoriali di governo

description: A recent directive gives Member States the freedom of choice in relation to the cultivation of genetically modified seeds, recognizing an achieved flexibility to realize economic goals at geographical level according to territorial differences and cultural orientations. In fact, the scope of cultivation adjustment is the result of a process of cooperative regulation legitimized by the role that retains the European Commission. It is, therefore, to exclude a real tipping of power relationships in the European integration design of the States, but there are the conditions for increased awareness of citizens through participatory processes to expected changes in terms of health and environment able to put at stake the intervention of the national legislature.

Humans Can’t Resist Robot Eyes – Reflexive Cueing With Pseudo-Social Stimuli

description: Joint attention is a key mechanism for humans to coordinate their social behavior. Whether and how this mechanism can benefit the interaction with pseudo-social partners such as robots is not well understood. To investigate the potential use of robot eyes as pseudo-social cues that ease attentional shifts we conducted an online study using a modified spatial cueing paradigm. The cue was either a non-social (arrow), a pseudo-social (two versions of an abstract robot eye), or a social stimulus (photographed human eyes) that was presented either paired (e.g. two eyes) or single (e.g. one eye). The latter was varied to separate two assumed triggers of joint attention: the social nature of the stimulus, and the additional spatial information that is conveyed only by paired stimuli. Results support the assumption that pseudo-social stimuli, in our case abstract robot eyes, have the potential to facilitate human-robot interaction as they trigger reflexive cueing. To our surprise, actual social cues did not evoke reflexive shifts in attention. We suspect that the robot eyes elicited the desired effects because they were human-like enough while at the same time being much easier to perceive than human eyes, due to a design with strong contrasts and clean lines. Moreover, results indicate that for reflexive cueing it does not seem to make a difference if the stimulus is presented single or paired. This might be a first indicator that joint attention depends rather on the stimulus’ social nature or familiarity than its spatial expressiveness. Overall, the study suggests that using paired abstract robot eyes might be a good design practice for fostering a positive perception of a robot and to facilitate joint attention as a precursor for coordinated behavior.
