description: Recent high-resolution and high-cadence observations have surprisingly suggested that prominence barbs exhibit apparent rotating motions suggestive of a tornado-like structure. Additional evidence has been provided by Doppler measurements. The observations reveal opposite velocities for both hot and cool plasma on the two sides of a prominence barb. This motion is persistent for several hours and has been interpreted in terms of rotational motion of prominence feet. Several authors suggest that such barb motions are rotating helical structures around a vertical axis similar to tornadoes on Earth. One of the difficulties of such a proposal is how to support cool prominence plasma in almost-vertical structures against gravity. In this work we model analytically a tornado-like structure and try to determine possible mechanisms to support the prominence plasma. We have found that the Lorentz force can indeed support the barb plasma provided the magnetic structure is sufficiently twisted and/or significant poloidal flows are present.

description: The regular or chaotic character of orbits of stars moving in the meridional plane (R,z) of an axially symmetric elliptical galaxy with a dense, massive spherical nucleus and a dark matter halo component is under investigation. In particular, we explore how the flattening of an elliptical galaxy influences the overall orbital structure of the system, by computing in each case the percentage of chaotic orbits, as well as the percentages of orbits composing the main regular families. In an attempt to discriminate safely and with certainty between regular and chaotic motion, we use the Smaller ALingment Index (SALI) method to extensive samples of orbits obtained by integrating numerically the basic equations of motion as well as the variational equations. In addition, a technique which is based mainly on the field of spectral dynamics that utilizes the Fourier transform of the time series of each coordinate is used for classifying the regular orbits into different families and also to recognize the secondary resonances that usually bifurcate from them. Three cases are considered in our work: (i) the case where the elliptical galaxy is prolate (ii) the case where a spherically symmetric elliptical galaxy is present and (iii) the case where the elliptical galaxy has an oblate shape. Comparison between the current results and early related work is also made.

Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Collisions between particles suspended in a fluid play an important role in many physical processes. As an example, collisions of microscopic water droplets in clouds are a necessary step in the production of macroscopic raindrops. Collisions of dust grains are also conjectured to be important for planet formation in the gas surrounding young stars, and also to play a role in the dynamics of sand storms. In these processes, collisions are favoured by fast turbulent motions. Here we review recent advances in the understanding of collisional aggregation due to turbulence. We discuss the role of fractal clustering of particles, and caustic singularities of their velocities. We also discuss limitations of the Smoluchowski equation for modelling these processes. These advances lead to a semi-quantitative understanding on the influence of turbulence on collision rates, and point to deficiencies in the current understanding of rainfall and planet formation.

description: We present a graph-theoretic model of consumer choice, where final decisions are shown to be influenced by information and knowledge, in the form of individual awareness, discriminating ability, and perception of market structure. Building upon the distance-based Hotelling's differentiation idea, we describe the behavioral experience of several prototypes of consumers, who walk a hypothetical cognitive path in an attempt to maximize their satisfaction. Our simulations show that even consumers endowed with a small amount of information and knowledge may reach a very high level of utility. On the other hand, complete ignorance negatively affects the whole consumption process. In addition, rather unexpectedly, a random walk on the graph reveals to be a winning strategy, below a minimal threshold of information and knowledge.

Positive Psychology in Context: Effects of Expressing Gratitude in Ongoing Relationships Depend on Perceptions of Enactor Responsiveness

Year: 2015

description: Recent correlational evidence implicates gratitude in personal and relational growth, for both members of ongoing relationships. From these observations, it would be tempting to prescribe interpersonal gratitude exercises to improve relationships. In this experiment, couples were randomly assigned to express gratitude over a month, or to a relationally-active control condition. Results showed modest effects of condition on personal and relational well-being. However, those whose partners were perceived as being particularly responsive when expressing gratitude at the initial lab session showed greater well-being across a range of outcomes, whereas this was not so for people in the control condition. Notably, evidence raises concerns about the effectiveness of artificial injections of gratitude when the partner is perceived to be low in responsiveness. Given the importance of close relationships, this work highlights the need for more theory-driven basic research tested in context before assuming what appears to work naturally will also work artificially.

description: Le Parc National Historique Citadelle/Sans-Souci/Ramiers (PNH-CSSR) a été créé par le Décret Présidentiel de 1978 et devient le plus important patrimoine culturel haïtien inscrit, depuis 1982, sur la liste du Patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO. Le Parc National Historique est dirigé depuis 2012 par un Conseil Interministériel de Gestion (CIG) composé des représentants de six Ministères, sous la présidence du Premier Ministre du Gouvernement de la République d’Haïti. Le Secrétariat permanent de ce conseil est assuré par la Direction Générale de l’ISPAN, point focal de l’État. Dans cette optique, une Unité de Gestion du Parc (UGP) a été mise en place en septembre 2012. Avec l’appui du projet PAST, l’UGP allait être reformatée en Autorité de Gestion du Parc (AGP). Ainsi, d’octobre 2018 à juillet 2022, l’AGP devient le bras technique et opérationnel du Conseil Interministériel de Gestion du Parc National Historique Citadelle/Sans-Souci/Ramiers (PNH-CSSR). Car, la Sous-composante A.2 du Projet de préservation du patrimoine et appui au secteur touristique (PAST) prévoyait un appui à la gestion du PNH-CSSR. A cet effet, le PAST allait appuyer la mise en place d’une Autorité de Gestion du Parc (AGP) afin de soutenir le dialogue entre les communautés locales du PNH-CSSR et les secteurs public et privé et d'assurer une gestion efficace et la conservation des ressources naturelles et culturelles du Parc. Delà, l’AGP s’engageait à assurer la conservation du patrimoine naturel, l’exploitation touristique des sites historiques et la protection et conservation des sites du patrimoine. Parallèlement, dans une dynamique d’inclusion de la population locale des quatre (4) communes du Parc (Milot, Dondon, Plaine du Nord, Grande Rivière du Nord), l’AGP réalisait ces activités de concert avec les parties prenantes du Parc et la société civile, ce pour améliorer structurellement les conditions de vie des habitants du Parc et harmoniser leurs relations. En somme, les résultats obtenus par l’AGP témoignent des actions concrètes réalisées dans les différents milieux complexes du Parc National Historique Citadelle/Sans-Souci/Ramiers. Dans les sections qui suivent, il est généralement présenté le contexte de l’évaluation, les résultats et discussions, les leçons apprises dans la gestion du Parc et des annexes.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Context Selected care processes are increasingly being used to measure hospital quality; however, data regarding the association between hospital process performance and outcomes are limited. Objectives To evaluate contemporary care practices consistent with the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guideline recommendations, to examine how hospital performance varied among centers, to identify characteristics predictive of higher guideline adherence, and to assess whether hospitals' overall composite guideline adherence was associated with observed and risk-adjusted in-hospital mortality rates. Design, Setting, and Participants An observational analysis of hospital care in 350 academic and nonacademic US centers of 64 775 patients enrolled in the CRUSADE (Can Rapid Risk Stratification of Unstable Angina Patients Suppress Adverse Outcomes With Early Implementation of the ACC/AHA Guidelines) National Quality Improvement Initiative between January 1, 2001, and September 30, 2003, presenting with chest pain and positive electrocardiographic changes or cardiac biomarkers consistent with non–ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Main Outcome Measures Use of 9 ACC/AHA class I guideline-recommended treatments and the correlation among hospitals' use of individual care processes as well as overall composite adherence rates. Results Overall, the 9 ACC/AHA guideline-recommended treatments were adhered to in 74% of eligible instances. There was modest correlation in hospital performance among the individual ACS process metrics. However, composite adherence performance varied widely (median [interquartile range] composite adherence scores from lowest to highest hospital quartiles, 63% [59%-66%] vs 82% [80%-84%]). Composite guideline adherence rate was significantly associated with in-hospital mortality, with observed mortality rates decreasing from 6.31% for the lowest adherence quartile to 4.15% for the highest adherence quartile (P less than .001). After risk adjustment, every 10% increase in composite adherence at a hospital was associated with an analogous 10% decrease in its patients' likelihood of in-hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 0.90; 95% confidence interval, 0.84-0.97; P less than .001). Conclusion A significant association between care process and outcomes was found, supporting the use of broad, guideline-based performance metrics as a means of assessing and helping improve hospital quality.

description: We combine the Siding Spring Survey of RR Lyrae stars with the Southern Proper Motion Catalog 4, in order to detect and kinematically characterize overdensities in the inner halo of the Milky Way. We identify one such overdensity above the Galactic plane, in quadrant 4 of the Galaxy. The overdensity extends at least 20 degrees in longitude, has an average heliocentric distance of 8 kpc with a depth of 4 kpc, and is confined within 4 kpc of the Galactic plane. Its metallicity distribution is distinct from that of the field population having a peak at -1.3 and a pronounced tail to -2.0. Proper motions indicate a net vertical motion away from the plane, and a low orbital angular momentum. Qualitatively, these orbit properties suggest a possible association with omega Centauri's parent satellite. However, comparison to a specific omega Cen N-body disruption model does not give a good match with observations. Line-of-sight velocities, and more extensive N-body modelling will help clarify the nature of this overdensity.

description: Aims: Understanding the fragmentation and collapse properties of the dense gas during the onset of high-mass star formation. Methods: We observed the massive (~800M_sun) starless gas clump IRDC18310-4 with the Plateau de Bure Interferometer (PdBI) at sub-arcsecond resolution in the 1.07mm continuum andN2H+(3-2) line emission. Results: Zooming from a single-dish low-resolution map to previous 3mm PdBI data, and now the new 1.07mm continuum observations, the sub-structures hierarchically fragment on the increasingly smaller spatial scales. While the fragment separations may still be roughly consistent with pure thermal Jeans fragmentation, the derived core masses are almost two orders of magnitude larger than the typical Jeans mass at the given densities and temperatures. However, the data can be reconciled with models using non-homogeneous initial density structures, turbulence and/or magnetic fields. While most sub-cores remain (far-)infrared dark even at 70mum, we identify weak 70mum emission toward one core with a comparably low luminosity of ~16L_sun, re-enforcing the general youth of the region. The spectral line data always exhibit multiple spectral components toward each core with comparably small line widths for the individual components (in the 0.3 to 1.0km/s regime). Based on single-dish C18O(2-1) data we estimate a low virial-to-gas-mass ratio <=0.25. We discuss that the likely origin of these spectral properties may be the global collapse of the original gas clump that results in multiple spectral components along each line of sight. Even within this dynamic picture the individual collapsing gas cores appear to have very low levels of internal turbulence.

L'investitura notarile e la validità degli instrumenta alle soglie del Duecento. Il caso del notaio Domenico da Pirano
Creators: name: Zabbia, Marino
Publisher: name: Scrineum Rivista
Year: 2013

description: This essay deals with the notarial investiture in Istria in the Thirteenth Century. The study starts with the notarial records written at the beginning of the Century by the notary Domenico di Pirano, whose validity was denied during the trial. Who had doubts about the validity of the documents claimed that Domenico was not appointed by someone who had the authority to do it. On the contrary, who considered the documents valid, affirmed that Domenico in Pirano was commonly considered a notary that was invested with power during a public ceremony. Besides, there was a reference to Roman and Canon law, that allows to affirm that the documents written by someone who is commonly regarded as notary are to be considered valid also in case of discovery of an illegitimate appointment. In the essay the Domenico case is compared both to a similar but less proved event, occurred in Istria at the beginning of the Thirteenth Century too, and to information regarding notary investitures in this same region available for Thirteen Century and the first half of the Fourteenth Century, underlying the role held by the Istrian marquises on the notary appointments.

La riproduzione (del) femminile. Una riflessione socio-politica sul ruolo delle donne nella scuola italiana degli ultimi decenni
Creators: name: De Conciliis, Eleonora
Publisher: name: Storia delle Donne
Year: 2012

description: In a traditional Catholic country like Italy, the job of school teacher seems to be tailored just for women, in order to preserve quietly both roles of mother and working person, in the imagery of people who don’t work in the school world at least. This happens because the school has always been the second space of traditional display regarding gender differences, and the only one recognised as such by society, after the family. There’s no place like school where Italian women have been free to exhibit and make the most of their own relational competencies, even their sex difference, getting the same payment reserved for men but anyway lower than payments existing in other service sectors. Italy is the country where the family-school pair has assumed a legendary status for decades, with the woman usually seen as a link between these two environments; and maybe that’s exactly the reason why the school has become the stage where each and every metamorphosis of family is set up and the female presence gets its identity as biological and cultural reproductive subject. As long as teaching is that particular cognitive work in which the knowledge is hoarded to wield a lower power, women have been reduced to technical roles of teachers, so to be excluded from the spaces reserved to higher power: economy and politics. Maternalistic and consumerist structures typical of the last times led this subordination to a crisis in Italy too, but with no creation of a good alternative model. When the so-called First Republic (that was a kind of symbolic Father-State) crashed down, the female model of cultural transmission broke up at the same time. In order to understand this trend, and perhaps to reverse it, the feminisation of teaching should be considered as a political question, and no longer as a treasure to be protected or defended. The same target regards the public school too.

description: In this paper, we investigate an additive video watermarking method in H.264 standard in presence of the Laplacian noise. In some applications, due to the loss of some pixels or a region of a frame, we resort to Laplacian noise rather than Gaussian one. The embedding is performed in the transform domain; while an optimum and a sub-optimum decoder are derived for the proposed Laplacian model. Simulation results show that the proposed watermarking scheme has suitable performance with enough transparency required for watermarking applications.

description: During the last few years, many academic libraries have accepted the challenge of helping
their users locate and acquire the numeric data they need. To meet their users’ ever-increasing
need for data, librarians are purchasing data sets one at a time (“small data”). This service, though
important to our users, raises many issues in the areas of collection scope, acquisition procedures,
and discovery and access. The authors conducted a survey of data librarians in summer 2015 and
followed up by interviewing five data librarians in depth to report on how academic libraries
collect and manage small data and to explore the strengths and weaknesses of various approaches.

description: A portrayal for the German education system seems difficult, because in Germany the administrative sovereignty lies with the different states und therefore a unified system does not exist. The article tries to convey an impression how standard guidelines and their various interpretations have an effect on education, starting from the education in kindergartens to universities. Not only the present situation is being described, but also the changes and tenden- cies during the last 40 years are being explained. In this context three important events are highlighted; the outcome of the movement in 68, German unification, and the shock caused by PISA. Special attention is given to the changing role of the students and teachers, the different types of schools and the position of women. Concerning universities the implementation of the Bologna Process’ is being accentuated.

The study is based on a mechanistic model for a biphenyl molecule between two metal electrodes. Employing methods from electron-molecule scattering theory, which allow a numerically exact treatment, we study the effect of vibrational excitation on the transmission probability for different parameter regimes. The current-voltage characteristic is analyzed for different temperatures, based on a Landauer-type formula. Furthermore, the process of electron assisted tunneling between adjacent wells in the torsional potential of the molecule is discussed and the validity of approximate methods to describe the transmission probability is investigated.

description: The current update of the ACC/AHA/NASPE Guidelines for Implantation of Cardiac Pacemakers and Antiarrhythmia Devices includes several significant changes in the recommendations and in the supporting narrative portion. In this summary, we list the updated recommendations along with the respective 1998 recommendations, each one accompanied by a brief comment outlining the rationale for the changes, additions, or deletions. All new or revised recommendations are listed in the second column and appear in boldface type. References that support either the 1998 recommendations that have not changed or the new or revised recommendations are noted in parentheses at the end of each recommendation. The reader is referred to the full-text version of the guidelines posted on the American College of Cardiology (ACC), American Heart Association (AHA), and North American Society for Pacing and Electrophysiology (NASPE) World Wide Web sites for a more detailed exposition of the rationale for these changes. In addition to the recommendation changes listed here, this update includes an expanded section on the selection of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) that reflects the technical advances that have taken place since 1998. A brief expanded summary of pacemaker follow-up procedures is also new to these guidelines. For both of these expanded sections, the reader is referred to the online full-text version.

description: Purpose: There is an important need for interprofessional practice (IPP) between speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and classroom teachers (CTs) in mainstream schools to support student outcomes. This mixed methods systematic review aimed to synthesize existing literature to describe the experiences of IPP between SLPs and CTs in mainstream schools.Method: A systematic review protocol was utilized to conduct a comprehensive search of six databases (PubMed Central, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL EBSCO, ERIC, and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global) using key words related to the research question. A total of 1,876 unique studies were retrieved. Of these, 18 studies were identified as relevant to the research question, as they described the experiences of IPP between SLPs and CTs. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the quantitative and qualitative studies.Results: Six main themes describing IPP experiences were identified: (1) what are you bringing to the collaboration table? (2) putting the value in collaboration, (3) sharing is collaborating, (4) the nature of collaboration varies, (5) the educational context matters, and (6) influences to collaboration beyond professional control.Conclusions: IPP between SLPs and CTs is complex, with various facilitators and barriers to IPP emerging within the education context. Competencies for SLPs and CTs related to having a shared understanding, adequate communication, and building relationships with each other help support IPP in schools. The utilization of a relationship-centered care approach between SLPs and CTs is also important to foster and support student outcomes.Supplemental Material S1.

description: Within the well-structured context of Waldensian educational history, and in particular, that of education for girls, one secondary school stands out. The Pensionnat pour jeunes filles was founded in the first half of the 19th century in Torre Pellice by the English Colonel, Charles Beckwith, on the model of British boarding schools for young ladies, with the intent to provide education to the daughters of Waldensian pastors and to those of the local protestant elite. Here the young women received training considered to be appropriate for their conditions and social standing, providing the basis for a course of study which would permit them to take on roles like that of school mistress, governess, or lady’s companion for the families of the European Protestant nobility. By tracing the educational background and life stories of some of the students, in particular, those of three sisters who were daughters of a Waldensian pastor, it has been possible to reconstruct the social origins, the educational programs and the later lives of Waldensian teachers and governesses. In examining the stories of these young women, born and raised in a cultural environment conditioned by their membership in a minority group, their confessional background emerges as a key factor. Thanks to longstanding ties with the world of Protestant Europe and to the financial support that world provided, these young women were able to prepare themselves by following an international curriculum and subsequently practice their professions throughout Europe from Great Britain to Russia.

description: The essay aims to investigate, from the start of a new system of public school in Italy after Unity and till the early twentieth century, the development of women’s education and the rising access of women to masterly studies aimed at preparing the practice of teaching in elementary schools. The survey, based on documentary and narrative sources, highlights both the emancipatory aspects of the phenomenon and the inherent cultural and social risks.

description: High-throughput experimental techniques and bioinformatics tools make it possible to obtain reconstructions of the metabolism of microbial species. Combined with mathematical frameworks such as flux balance analysis, which assumes that nutrients are used so as to maximize growth, these reconstructions enable us to predict microbial growth. Although such predictions are generally accurate, these approaches do not give insights on how different nutrients are used to produce growth, and thus are difficult to generalize to new media or to different organisms. Here, we propose a systems-level phenomenological model of metabolism inspired by the virial expansion. Our model predicts biomass production given the nutrient uptakes and a reduced set of parameters, which can be easily determined experimentally. To validate our model, we test it against in silico simulations and experimental measurements of growth, and find good agreement. From a biological point of view, our model uncovers the impact that individual nutrients and the synergistic interaction between nutrient pairs have on growth, and suggests that we can understand the growth maximization principle as the optimization of nutrient synergies.

Construcción de comunidad: narraciones de los inmigrantes colombianos en la ciudad europea
Creators: name: Noteboom, Fabiola Pardo
Publisher: name: Storia delle Donne
Year: 2014

description: The cultural, social and political conditions of the country of origin of an immigrant significantly mark the process in community building in the receiving society. The Latino immigrant’s and particularly Colombian’s narrations collected in Amsterdam, London and Madrid speak about this cultural passage and the conflicts and their continual confrontation with the realities of their country of origin. Although Colombians have the one of the largest groups among the Latin Americans in these cities, and have become leaders in some cultural and political integration activities, they still experience a fragile integration process and have difficulty in building community projects, which would make them visible as a group and where they could develop dynamics of solidarity and cohesion.

Migrante, madre, mediatrice, donna: una peruviana racconta l’incontro con se stessa

description: To be a migrant woman includes different meanings: it means to be a breadwinner woman for personal or familiar decision; it means to be wife of an husband who will join her in the arrival country dealing with all the uncertainities of the labor market; it means to be a mother that drags her sons to an unknown new country or that fights daily to keep in touch with them when they leave overseas; but above all it means to be a woman that deals day by day with the cultural negotiation and with those stereotypes usually related with migration, doing it for herself and in order to create a better relationship with the arrival society. All these aspects are part of the interview done in february 2007 to a peruvian woman that lives in Naples since many years now and that is the main object of this article.

subject: Le Cléac'h, Hervé-Marie *1915-2012*; Marquesasinseln; Christentum

description: Der Teil A der Arbeit besteht aus wissenschaftlichen Hintergrundinformationen zu Fragen, die die Religion, sowie ethnologische, historische, politische und geographische Themen der Marquesas betreffen, wobei ihre eigene spezielle Geschichte ausführlich behandelt wird. In diesen Bereichen liegen auch die meisten Titel meiner Bibliographie, außer in der deutschen sind sie zum großen Teil in englischer und französischer Sprache verfaßt. Auch die Briefe des Bischofs, die mir Einblicke in die jüngere Religionsgeschichte der Inseln und zu seinem Leben und Werk geben, sind natürlich französisch geschrieben. Alle Übersetzungen habe ich selbst vorgenommen. Nachdem ich die alte polynesische Gesellschaft und speziell die der Marquesas besonders dargestellt habe, wandte ich mich der alten polynesischen Religion zu mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der Situation auf den Marquesas-Inseln und der Begriffe von „mana und tapu“. Als nächstes folgt das Kapitel „Petroglyphen - Rockart“ und damit ein Eintauchen in die prähistorische Felskunst auf den Inseln. Anschließend beschäftige ich mich mit der alten und der wiederbelebten Tatauierung oder „dem Einwickeln in Bildern“, die ihre Wurzeln in den Petroglyphen haben, teilweise sogar mit alten Rock-Art Motiven übereinstimmen. Im dritten Teil möchte ich auf die Kunst/ das Kunsthandwerk auf den Marquesas eingehen und einen Überblick mit einer Einführung in den Dokumentationsteil geben. Beginnen werde ich mit der alten polynesischen Kunst unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der tikis. Dieses Kapitel wird gefolgt von der „neuen marquesanischen Kunst“ und dem „Aufwecken der Augen“ als Aufgabe. Zum Schluß wird ein europäischer Blick auf die außereuropäische Kunst geworfen.
Figlie e sorelle peregrinae. Le migrazioni delle donne nell’altomedioevo (secoli VI-VIII)
Creators: name: La Rocca, Cristina
Publisher: name: Storia delle Donne
Year: 2014

description: The article discusses the multiple (social and cultural) identities spread in the early Middle Ages through the recurrent practice of marriages of the daughters of the early medieval kings into another kingdom. This practice, which finds a setback during the Carolingian period, is visible in the sources of the sixth until the eighth century and is closely related to mutual competition between the early medieval kings. It examines in particular the case of Theoderic’s female relatives, through a significant number of sources, especially from Cassiodorus’s Variæ. The foreign wives were active players in the new territories of arrival, proposing new models and texts, and were also the bearers of new ethnic identities for their children. Nevertheless, the foreign wife is politically weak and may be affected by the unfortunate policy of his father and be accused of being a dangerous foreign body.

Abundances in the Local Region I: G and K Giants
Creators: name: Luck, R. Earle
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Parameters and abundances for 1133 stars of spectral types F, G, and K of luminosity class III have been derived. In terms of stellar parameters, the primary point of interest is the disagreement between gravities derived with masses determined from isochrones, and gravities determined from an ionization balance. This is not a new result per se; but the size of this sample emphasizes the severity of the problem. A variety of arguments lead to the selection of the ionization balance gravity as the working value. The derived abundances indicate that the giants in the solar region have Sun-like total abundances and abundance ratios. Stellar evolution indicators have also been investigated with the Li abundances and the [C/Fe] and C/O ratios indicating that standard processing has been operating in these stars. The more salient result for stellar evolution is that the [C/Fe] data across the red-giant clump indicates the presence of mass dependent mixing in accord with standard stellar evolution predictions. Keywords: stars: fundamental parameters - stars: abundances - stars: evolution - Galaxy: abundances

Formatted entertainment in China: change in television production practices
Creators: name: Li, Hong
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2016

description: Since the format Got Talent achieved great success in China, we can see the prevalence of format adoption and the television industry’s reliance on western expertise. Television formats have provided Chinese television professionals not only with new creative inputs into indigenous production practices but also with license to experiment with ideas that may not fit in with the legacy of the national culture or the brand of the channel or network. This study explores the growing trend toward television format adoption and localization as an industry development strategy in China, and provides rich data through qualitative methods such as field observation and semi-­‐structured interviews. The results of the various analyses in the thesis demonstrate, in different ways, how Chinese professionals perceive the development of their practices and that of the whole television industry following the adoption and localization of formats. Furthermore, the analyses also indicate how China’s political and economic contexts impact on the ways in which television formats are localized.
Conception et corps féminin selon Hildegarde de Bingen
Creators: name: Moulinier, Laurence
Publisher: name: Storia delle Donne
Year: 2005

description: La visionaria Ildegarda di Bingen (1098-1179) è autrice di scritti di medicina nei quali il tema del corpo femminile ha una parte notevole: il trattato Cause et cure, che le viene attribuito, si distingue per le numerose evocazioni delle specificità fisiologiche della donna, dei suoi mali e dolori, ma anche della sua forza e bellezza, cioè della sua capacità a trasmettere la vita. Ildegarda non è stata certo la prima in Occidente a trattare l’argomento e, anche se non cita nessun autore, attinge a diversi testi non esclusa la letteratura medica a lei contemporanea. Ma l’esistenza di tante possibili fonti di informazione niente toglie all’originalità del suo pensiero sul corpo della donna, in particolare sulla gravidanza quasi miracolosa che certe donne vivono in età avanzata; anzi, quel che scrive Ildegarda dà materia alla riflessione attuale, in un’epoca nella quale la scienza medica ha esteso i confini tra sterilità e fertilità, ma dove, a differenza della paternità tardiva, il desiderio di maternità della donna matura è soggetto a critiche nel nome della “legge della natura”.
