Year: 2018

description: This project is an analysis of some of the best practice about the Risk management on the Terminal Operating System (TOS) implementation system. The deliverable of this project is a Tool Of Risk Analysis (TORA) to evaluate and make an audit on TOS projects. Container Terminal environment is presented to understand some of the possible issues on the development of a project. The risks on project management are analysed with methodologies proposed in the ISO 31010 and ISO 31500. After the ISO research was completed, the chosen methodologies used to identify the risks, are Checklist and Scenario Analysis. The TOS industry is presented to highlight the challenges of project management TOS. The analysis is targeted to reach the understanding of those challenges which are the highest in terms of impact and probability. A survey has been submitted to professional service TOS consultant for risk rating. The most dangerous risks are charted in an Impact Probability Matrix, in order to evaluate the danger level. A list of question is produced to be submitted to the client. The answers on this tool, will automatically populate the factor of the bounded risk, with the result to identify and evaluate the involved risk level.
The Facilitation of Middle Eastern Immigrants’ Local Businesses by the German State

description: Existing scholarship on migrant integration tends to focus solely on it impacts on the migrants
themselves but few studies show how governments on the national and local scale aid migrants
in integration. One area of immigrants’ integration that has not received much attention is that of
them starting their own local business. This paper examines Middle Eastern immigrants opening
up their own businesses and how the German state helps to facilitate the development of it. I first
discuss three themes of integration, economic integration, social integration, and linguistic
integration, and the ways that it connects to my own research. I also examined the laws and
policies that exist in Germany and how they play a part in facilitating the development of local
businesses owned by Middle Eastern immigrants. For the data, I analyzed German newspapers,
magazines published by the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce of
Berlin and Munich, Bundestag documents, and case studies by scholars. The findings reveal that
German state does in fact help to facilitate the development of local businesses owned by Middle
Eastern immigrants through the laws and policies it has passed. This facilitation by Germany has
become more increasingly seen in a positive light by German citizens, German businesspeople,
Bundestag officials, and scholars as Middle Eastern immigrants are given a chance to be
successful in opening up a business, which can have a positive impact on the German economy.
However, the findings also reveal that through this top-down approach, the German state needs
to do more or be more directly involve facilitating the development of local businesses owned by
Middle Eastern immigrants, to make sure it is successful on the local level. This paper argues
that the German state does lay the groundwork to facilitate the development of businesses owned
by immigrants, which allows for local towns and cities and grassroots organizations to help
create opportunities to immigrants, but should try to be more directly involve supporting this
facilitation throughout the entire process.

description: We present ground-based limb polarization measurements of Jupiter and Saturn consisting of full disk imaging polarimetry for the wavelength 7300 A and spatially resolved (long slit) spectropolarimetry covering the wavelength range 5200 to 9350 A. For the polar region of Jupiter we find for wl=6000 A a very strong radial polarization with a seeing corrected maximum of about +11.5% in the South and +10.0% in the North. Our model calculations demonstrate that the high limb polarization can be explained by strongly polarizing (p~1.0), high albedo (omega~0.98) haze particles with a scattering asymmetry parameter of g~0.6 as expected for aggregate particles. The deduced particle parameters are distinctively different when compared to lower latitude regions. The spectropolarimetry of Jupiter shows a decrease in the polar limb polarization towards longer wavelengths and a significantly enhanced polarization in strong methane bands when compared to the adjacent continuum. For lower latitudes the fractional polarization is small, negative, and it depends only little on wavelength except for the strong CH4-band at 8870 A. The South pole of Saturn shows a lower polarization (p~1.0-1.5%) than the poles of Jupiter. The spectropolarimetric signal for Saturn decrease rapidly with wavelength and shows no significant enhancements in the fractional polarization in the absorption bands. These properties can be explained by a vertically extended stratospheric haze region composed of small particles <100nm. In addition we find a previously not observed strong polarization feature (p=1.5-2.0%) near the equator of Saturn. The origin of this polarization signal is unclear but it could be related to a seasonal effect.

Development of peptides targeting TDP-43 and CK-1δ as potential amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar degeneration therapies
Creators: name: Zhu, Jingyan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The sick and dying neurons in several different neurodegenerative disorders, including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Frontotemporal dementia (FTLD) and Perry's Syndrome, are filled with insoluble cytoplasmic aggregates of phosphorylated TAR DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43). While the mechanisms underlying these TDP-43 proteinopathies have not been elucidated, it has been suggested that the phosphorylation of TDP-43 is an important part of the neurodegenerative cascade. In this thesis, I found that overexpression of Casein Kinase 1δ (CK-1 δ) in cells caused phosphorylation and reduced solubility of TDP-43. Proteomic studies showed that this phosphorylated TDP-43 had a different set of protein partners than did wild type TDP-43. Phosphorylated TDP-43 mainly locates in the cell's nucleus in this model, and I found that disruption of TDP-43 nuclear-cytoplasmic transport can facilitate formation of TDP-43 aggregates. While inhibiting CK-1δ may be a viable strategy for preventing the aggregates from forming this would also prevent CK-1δ from phosphorylating its many other substrates besides TDP-43. Instead, I tried a more selective strategy. I designed interference peptides derived from CK-1δ binding domains or from TDP-43 phosphorylation sites to try to selectively block the interaction of TDP-43 and CK-1δ. The peptide candidates efficiently blocked TDP-43 phosphorylation induced by CK-1δ overexpression. I further assessed the peptide mixture using both in vitro and in vivo models of cell stress and cell death. In the in vitro studies, the peptide mixture reduced Ethacrynic acid-induced TDP-43 phosphorylation and aggregation as well as cell death in both SH-SY5Y cells and in primary cultured neurons. In a mouse in vivo axotomy model, characterized by a reliable time-specific pattern of TDP-43 phosphorylation and aggregate formation, treatment with the blocking peptide mixture efficiently promoted recovery of wild type TDP-43 and phosphorylated TDP-43 solubility in ventral horn motor neurons of the lumbar spinal cord. The peptide mixture also reduced stress granule formation but did not affect HSP70 nuclear translocation. Taken together, these results suggest that blocking TDP-43 phosphorylation may be a useful therapeutic strategy for targeting aggregates that form in several neurodegenerative diseases.
Searching for the 'Win-Win'? Animals, Genomics and Welfare
Creators: name: Twine, Richard

Year: 2007

description: Animal Genomics sits within the nexus of the central contradiction that characterises human/animal relations within contemporary Western societies. On the one hand we can observe a historical move toward less instrumental human/animals relations and the emergence of ethics of care which have forced significant reflexivity upon modern intensive agriculture. Yet significantly animals remain real conduits for bio-capitalization and targets of human consumption. Biotechnological elaborations of animal life be they through presently commercialised genomics or bio-pharmaceuticals or, perhaps in the longer term, cloning or GM, extend the modernist mastery of nature, now more properly understood as a refashioning or ‘bespoking’ (Michael, 2001) of nature. The partial erosion of productivism in agriculture since the 1970s illustrates that even before the arrival of animal biotechnologies this contradiction was already in flux. Animal Genomics is one space where this is played out as it must negotiate the needs of agri-business and the societal and scientific interests of animal welfare. The term ‘win-win’ is employed by animal geneticists when they can achieve a given type of selection that is perceived to have a ‘good’ outcome both in terms of productivity and welfare, capturing well the ambivalence of production and welfare. This paper investigates the potential impact of genetics and genomics on animal welfare science, arguing that the ambivalence of welfare and production becomes especially salient around the idea of animal ‘health’ which can be taken to signify both welfare and production. A further issue is whether animal welfare science is being subject to geneticisation. Drawing upon interviews with animal scientists this paper explores the tensions of this in practice and the economic shaping of animal genomics and welfare. Although social and ethical considerations are increasingly on the agenda it is suggested that they can only gain a limited foothold due to both the commercial outlook of agricultural science and the economic constraints of contemporary global agriculture.

description: We study two many-body systems of bosons interacting via an infinite three-body contact repulsion in a lattice: a pairs quasi-condensate induced by correlated hopping and the discrete version of the Pfaffian wavefunction. We propose to experimentally realise systems characterized by such interaction by means of a proper spin-1 lattice Hamiltonian: spin degrees of freedom are locally mapped into occupation numbers of emerging bosons, in a fashion similar to spin-1/2 and hardcore bosons. Such a system can be realized with ultracold spin-1 atoms in a Mott Insulator with filling-factor one. The high versatility of these setups allows us to engineer spin-hopping operators breaking the SU(2) symmetry, as needed to approximate interesting bosonic Hamiltonians with three-body hardcore constraint. For this purpose we combine bichromatic spin-independent superlattices and Raman transitions to induce a different hopping rate for each spin orientation. Finally, we illustrate how our setup could be used to experimentally realize the first setup, i.e. the transition to a pairs quasi-condensed phase of the emerging bosons. We also report on a route towards the realization of a discrete bosonic Pfaffian wavefunction and list some open problems to reach this goal.

description: We study excitonic effects in two-dimensional massless Dirac fermions with Coulomb interactions by solving the ladder approximation to the Bethe-Salpeter equation. It is found that the general 4-leg vertex has a power law behavior with the exponent going from real to complex as the coupling constant is increased. This change of behavior is manifested in the antisymmetric response, which displays power law behavior at small wavevectors reminiscent of a critical state, and a change in this power law from real to complex that is accompanied by poles in the response function for finite size systems, suggesting a phase transition for strong enough interactions. The density-density response is also calculated, for which no critical behavior is found. We demonstrate that exciton correlations enhance the cusp in the irreducible polarizability at $2k_F$, leading to a strong increase in the amplitude of Friedel oscillations around a charged impurity.

description: Abstract The present study was aimed to manifest the antibacterial and antifungal activity of methanolic extracts of Salix alba L. against seven Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial pathogens e.g. Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus (1), S. aureus (2), Shigella sonnei, Escherichia coli (1), E. coli (2) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae and three fungal isolates from the air such as Aspergillus terreus, A. ornatus, and Rhizopus stolonifer. Two different serotypes of S. aureus and E. coli were used. The agar well-diffusion method results showed the dose-dependent response of plant extracts against bacterial and fungal strains while some organisms were found resistant e.g. E. coli (1), S. sonnei, A. terreus and R. stolonifer. The highest antibacterial activity was recorded at 17.000±1.732 mm from 100 mg/mL of leaves methanolic extracts against S. pyogenes while the activity of most of the pathogens decreased after 24 h of incubation. The highest antifungal activity was reported at 11.833±1.0 mm against A. ornatus at 50 mg/mL after 48 h of the incubation period. These experimental findings endorse the use of S. alba in ethnopharmacological formulations and suggest the use of methanolic extracts of the said plant to develop drugs to control the proliferation of resistant disease causing pathogenic microbes.

description: Based on high quality spectral data (spectral resolution R>60000) within the wavelength range of 3550-5000 AA we determined main parameters (effective temperature, surface gravity, microturbulent velocity, and chemical element abundances including heavy metals from Sr to Dy) for 14 metal-deficient G-K stars with large proper motions. The stars we studied have a wide range of metallicity: [Fe/H]=-0.3 ÷-2.9. Abundances of Mg, Al, Sr and Ba were calculated with non-LTE line-formation effects accounted for. Abundances both of the radioactive element Th and r-process element Eu were determined using synthetic spectrum calculations. We selected stars that belong to different galactic populations according to the kinematical criterion and parameters determined by us. We found that the studied stars with large proper motions refer to different components of the Galaxy: thin, thick disks and halo. The chemical composition of the star BD+80 245 located far from the galactic plane agrees with its belonging to the accreted halo. For the giant HD115444 we obtained [Fe/H]=-2.91, underabundance of Mn, overabundance of heavy metals from Ba to Dy, and, especially high excess of the r-process element Europium: [Eu/Fe]=+1.26. Contrary to its chemical composition typical for halo stars, HD115444 belongs to the disc population according to its kinematic parameters.

description: In the principal cells of the insect mushroom body, the Kenyon cells (KC), olfactory information is represented by a spatially and temporally sparse code. Each odor stimulus will activate only a small portion of neurons and each stimulus leads to only a short phasic response following stimulus onset irrespective of the actual duration of a constant stimulus. The mechanisms responsible for the sparse code in the KCs are yet unresolved. Here, we explore the role of the neuron-intrinsic mechanism of spike-frequency adaptation (SFA) in producing temporally sparse responses to sensory stimulation in higher processing stages. Our single neuron model is defined through a conductance-based integrate-and-fire neuron with spike-frequency adaptation [1]. We study a fully connected feed-forward network architecture in coarse analogy to the insect olfactory pathway. A first layer of ten neurons represents the projection neurons (PNs) of the antenna lobe. All PNs receive a step-like input from the olfactory receptor neurons, which was realized by independent Poisson processes. The second layer represents 100 KCs which converge onto ten neurons in the output layer which represents the population of mushroom body extrinsic neurons (ENs). Our simulation result matches with the experimental observations. In particular, intracellular recordings of PNs show a clear phasic-tonic response that outlasts the stimulus [2] while extracellular recordings from KCs in the locust express sharp transient responses [3]. We conclude that the neuron-intrinsic mechanism is can explain a progressive temporal response sparsening in the insect olfactory system. Further experimental work is needed to test this hypothesis empirically. [1] Muller et. al., Neural Comput, 19(11):2958-3010, 2007. [2] Assisi et. al., Nat Neurosci, 10(9):1176-1184, 2007.

Globalization and Changing Relations among Market, State and Civil Society: A Comparative Analysis of Patagonia and Iowa
Creators: name: Butler Flora, Cornelia

Publisher: name: The International Journal of Sociology of Agriculture and Food
Year: 2007

description: Vertical integration by means of an industrial (as opposed to market) convention is a major corollary of neo-liberal globalization. In both the U.S. Midwest and southern Argentina, the type of agriculture that displaced the native peoples was family scale production based on the market convention: price based on volume. From the 1940s to the mid-1990s family producers of hogs in Iowa and of apples in Río Negro went from independent producers with multiple marketing options to displacement by vertically integrated global companies that demanded particular characteristics in the product. Their varied modes of resistance to vertical integration and the industrial convention demonstrates possibilities from the center and the semi-periphery, show how market, state, and civil society could be mobilized to create and control alternative agricultural food networks based on domestic and civic conventions. Because of different sources of prime vulnerability, labor in Río Negro and the environment in Iowa, mechanisms of vertical integration are differentially effective. Thus multinational corporations sought different strategies to maximize control of the value chain in order to guarantee particular product characteristics while minimizing liability from potential violation of labor and environmental laws. In each setting the integrated multi-national firms attempted both direct ownership and contracting, and found less resistance through contracting. Different involvement of civil society determined the success of the implementation of civic conventions that could maintain family-managed production.

description: We derive an integral expression for the plane-wave expansion of the time-varying (nonstationary) random field inside a mode-stirred reverberation chamber. It is shown that this expansion is a so-called oscillatory process, whose kernel can be expressed explicitly in closed form. The effect of nonstationarity is a modulation of the spectral field on a time scale that is a function of the cavity relaxation time. It is also shown how the contribution by a nonzero initial value of the field can be incorporated into the expansion. The results are extended to a special class of second-order processes, relevant to the perception of a mode-stirred reverberation field by a device under test with a first-order (relaxation-type) frequency response.

description: Che cos’è l’autostima? Come si sviluppa? Perché una sana autostima è importante? L’autostima è la considerazione che un individuo ha di sé stesso. È il valore che egli si attribuisce nella vita in generale e nei vari contesti. L’autostima si sviluppa attraverso variabili familiari, sociali e individuali. In particolare si basa sul suo modo di essere e sui feedback che l’individuo riceve da parte delle figure di attaccamento e dalle figure di riferimento extra-familiari. L’autostima è un bisogno fondamentale di tutti gli esseri umani, gli adulti come i bambini hanno bisogno di essere visti, sentirsi riconosciuti e valorizzati. Dunque a scuola è importante e possibile favorire una sana autostima? Sì, è fondamentale! Attraverso un metodo basato sull’esperienza diretta di raccolta dati ho ideato un percorso incentrato sulle identità competenti per favorire nei bambini una maggiore consapevolezza di sé; intesa come conoscersi maggiormente, capire quali sono i miei interessi, le cose per me importanti, i miei punti di forza ed essere consapevoli che tutti hanno dei limiti sui cui lavorare. È stato bello vedere ogni bambino protagonista attivo, vederlo sorridere e fiero di sé. È stato importante che ognuno abbia potuto osservarsi da vicino e conoscersi un po’ di più.

description: The theme of the graduation work is to create a system of interaction between the server part of the CMS OpenCart and the client part of the online store. The work included improvement of the system. The second part of my work was to transfer the system to the optimal, productive option, which became the Aimeos platform. I performed a performance comparison of the two systems, where Aimeos was the most productive. Which proved the feasibility of moving to a new platform.
Remarks on the mass-angular momentum relations for two extreme Kerr sources in equilibrium

description: The general analysis of the relations between masses and angular momenta in the configurations composed of two balancing extremal Kerr particles is made on the basis of two exact solutions arising as extreme limits of the well-known double-Kerr spacetime. We show that the inequality M^2 >= |J| characteristic of an isolated Kerr black hole is verified by all the extremal components of the Tomimatsu and Dietz-Hoenselaers solutions. At the same time, the inequality can be violated by the total masses and total angular momenta of these binary systems, and we identify all the cases when such violation occurs.

description: We observed with the SOPHIE spectrograph (OHP, France) the transit of the HAT-P-6b exoplanet across its host star. The resulting stellar radial velocities display the Rossiter-McLaughlin anomaly and reveal a retrograde orbit: the planetary orbital spin and the stellar rotational spin point towards approximately opposite directions. A fit to the anomaly measures a sky-projected angle lambda = 166 +/- 10 degrees between these two spin axes. All seven known retrograde planets are hot jupiters with masses M_p < 3 M_Jup. About two thirds of the planets in this mass range however are prograde and aligned (lambda ~ 0). By contrast, most of the more massive planets (M_p > 4 M_Jup) are prograde but misaligned. Different mechanisms may therefore be responsible for planetary obliquities above and below ~3.5 M_Jup.

Not an isolated event : a survey of Korean drumming in North America
Creators: name: Choi, Ho Jin (Gina)
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: There is a dearth of information regarding the history and current activity of Korean drumming (pungmul) groups in the United States and Canada. Because Korean drumming groups are scattered across the continent and operate independently from each other without much interaction or a central organizing entity, it is difficult to retrieve accurate, up-to-date information about active groups, especially as many disband only a few years after they formed due to a shortage in funding or interest. This lack of options and of information can make it difficult for those who are interested to learn and play in North America. In this thesis, I investigate six groups and organizations that are actively practicing and promoting Korean drumming in a sustained and organized manner beyond its original context in Korea, specifically in the U.S. and Canada. I profile a student-run university group, university courses offered for credit, a professional performance troupe, an artist booking agency, and a nonprofit arts organization. By interviewing individuals who have created their own opportunities to play and promote Korean music, referring to the existing literature on the history and activity of pungmul groups in the U.S., and reflecting on my own experiences with some of these groups, I hope to provide some insight into how some Korean drumming groups are started and run, what challenges they tend to face, and how we might begin to address such challenges. While the advantages and disadvantages of each type of group may differ, they are all important because they each play a different role. Ultimately, access to information may be a key factor in sustaining and growing the diasporic Korean drumming community.
Women and Food Chains: The Gendered Politics of Food
Creators: name: Allen, Patricia
name: Sachs, Carolyn
Publisher: name: The International Journal of Sociology of Agriculture and Food
Year: 2007

description: In nearly all societies women bear responsibility for the mental and manual labor of food provision, from field to table. Their involvement with food constructs who they are in the world—as family members, workers, and people—in deep, complex, and often contradictory ways. While food work often serves as a component of women’s identity, it also serves as a key factor in their exploitation, oppression, and, accordingly, their resistance. In this article we identify three domains that define women’s relationship to food—the material, the socio-cultural, and the corporeal. We find that, although the agrifood system is going through a period of rapid change, gender relations in the agrifood system remain surprisingly static. Through the lenses of material, socio-cultural, and corporeal, we briefly describe the state of contemporary gender relations in the American agrifood system, highlight some of the ways in which women are working to reconfigure social and economic conditions through food work. We find that, while women are engaged in significant and far-reaching efforts to change the system, few of these efforts focus specifically on improving gender relations. We briefly review scholarly contributions to our understanding of the gendered food system, concluding that a new field of study is needed that integrates theory and practice in the effort to understand and change gender relations in the agrifood system.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Robotics (cs.RO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper presents a new method, based on a multi-agent system and on a digital mock-up technology, to assess an efficient path planner for a manikin or a robot for access and visibility task taking into account ergonomic constraints or joint and mechanical limits. In order to solve this problem, the human operator is integrated in the process optimization to contribute to a global perception of the environment. This operator cooperates, in real-time, with several automatic local elementary agents. The result of this work validates solutions through the digital mock-up; it can be applied to simulate maintenability and mountability tasks.
Edificio residenziale Laetizia
Creators: name: Mirante, Mattia
Publisher: name: Scuola Universitaria della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI)
Year: 2023

description: La struttura prevista vuole la realizzazione di una residenza moderna e complessa nella sua concezione, il tutto incorniciato in un centro cittadino come quello di Minusio e un affaccio diretto sulla sponda del lago Maggiore. L’ edificio sorge sul mappale 2630, a una quota di 250 m.s.l.m. Lo sviluppo è su quattro piani fuori terra e uno interrato destinato a rimessa auto, box e locali tecnici. L’edificio è moderno, con linee pulite e l’uso di grandi superfici aperti con verde. Sono previste 8 unità immobiliari disposte sui 4 piani, appartamenti che hanno superfici differenti vista una configurazione a “gradoni” del volume edificio. L’idea della committenza era quindi quella di ottenere una struttura che sia fedele all’idea di base dell’architetto, funzionale e efficiente dal punto di vista ingegneristico
