Iraqw personal names and naming practices: Some linguistic observations
Creators: name: Alphonce, Chrispina
Publisher: name: Journal of African Languages and Literatures
Year: 2023

description: This article discusses the use of names, their meaning and the naming system among speakers of Iraqw, a Southern Cushitic language spoken in Tanzania. This preliminary documentation of personal naming practices considers naming as an important socio-cultural aspect of Iraqw people: names are not arbitrary but rather have historical and cultural functions and meanings. Names offer significant insights into the socio-cultural, historical, political, and personal circumstances of pregnancy, the child’s birth and family as well as environmental elements. The meanings of names reflect various activities and cultural practices in Iraqw. Further, namesaking is a common practice, whereby Iraqw name their children after the paternal ancestral names with the belief that ancestors may be near the child and protect it from all evils as well as recalling ancestors. The majority of personal names bear a high tone on the final syllable. Names are derived from ordinary nouns by marking high tone on this syllable. Moreover, they are derived from verbs, adjectives, and ideophones by using nominalising suffixes in addition to the final high tone. The majority of names are used to refer to both sexes, therefore the gender of the name cannot be determined by the gender of the noun from which the name is derived, rather, it can be determined by the sex of the referent. Contact with Datooga has resulted in heavy borrowing of Datooga names. Swahili, and recently Christianity too, have also influenced names and naming. The latter seems to strongly influence the semantics of names.

Coexistence does not imply joint measurability

description: One of the hallmarks of quantum theory is the realization that distinct measurements cannot in general be performed simultaneously, in stark contrast to classical physics. In this context the notions of coexistence and joint measurability are employed to analyze the possibility of measuring together two general quantum observables, characterizing different degrees of compatibility between measurements. It is known that two jointly measurable observables are always coexistent, and that the converse holds for various classes of observables, including the case of observables with two outcomes. Here we resolve, in the negative, the open question whether this equivalence holds in general. Our resolution strengthens the notions of coexistence and joint measurability by showing that both are robust against small imperfections in the measurement setups.

description: This paper studies functions of bounded mean oscillation (BMO) on metric spaces equipped with a doubling measure. The main result gives characterizations for mappings that preserve BMO. This extends the corresponding Euclidean results by Gotoh to metric measure spaces. The argument is based on a generalizations Uchiyama's construction of certain extremal BMO-functions and John-Nirenberg's lemma.
A cultural-conceptual analysis of plant-related proverbs in Nzema
Creators: name: Yakub, Mohammed
name: Owu-Ewie, Charles
Publisher: name: Journal of African Languages and Literatures
Year: 2023

description: Proverbs are wise sayings that are built from socio-cultural experiences, including natural phenomena and objects such as plants, animals, rivers, among others. This paper focuses on plant-proverbs in Nzema, and how the imagery of plants provides basis for conceptualising human behavioural principles in the Nzema society. In this paper, twenty plant-related proverbs are examined, highlighting their advisory contents in relation to crucial themes such as generosity, hard-work and perseverance, justice and fairness, carefulness, patience, cooperation, and avoidance of litigation among others. The paper shows that many didactics are concealed in Nzema proverbs that incorporate plants like pawpaw, orange, sugarcane, pepper, coconut, banana, palm fruits, and trees in general. Thus, the Nzema dwell on plant imagery in proverbs to convey various advisory messages to mitigate vices and to straighten the conduct of members within the culture. Data were obtained from primary and secondary sources. The paper relies on Cultural Conceptualisations (SHARIFIAN 2011, 2017) as the theoretical underpinning.

Process tomography for unitary quantum channels

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the number of measurements required for quantum process tomography under prior information, such as a promise that the unknown channel is unitary. We introduce the notion of an interactive observable and we show that any unitary channel acting on a $d$-level quantum system can be uniquely identified among all other channels (unitary or otherwise) with only $O(d^2)$ interactive observables, as opposed to the $O(d^4)$ required for tomography of arbitrary channels. This result generalizes, so that channels with at most $q$ Kraus operators can be identified with only $O(qd^2)$ interactive observables. Slight improvements can be obtained if we wish to identify such a channel only among unital channels or among other channels with $q$ Kraus operators. These results are proven via explicit construction of large subspaces of Hermitian matrices with various conditions on rank, eigenvalues, and partial trace. Our constructions are built upon various forms of totally nonsingular matrices.

description: We study the motion of a heavy tracer particle weakly coupled to a dense, weakly interacting Bose gas exhibiting Bose-Einstein condensation. In the so-called mean-field limit, the dynamics of this system approaches one determined by nonlinear Hamiltonian evolution equations. We prove that if the initial speed of the tracer particle is above the speed of sound in the Bose gas, and for a suitable class of initial states of the Bose gas, the particle decelerates due to emission of Cherenkov radiation of sound waves, and its motion approaches a uniform motion at the speed of sound, as time tends to infinity.

Wh-question formation in Lokạạ
Creators: name: Amaechi, Mary
Publisher: name: Journal of African Languages and Literatures
Year: 2023

description: This paper discusses wh-questions in the Benue-Congo language, Lokạạ. The different strategies of wh-question formation are examined. It is observed that in addition to the ex-situ and in-situ strategies, the language allows partial wh-movement under embedded clauses. It is shown, however, that embedded questions in the language are formed via relativization. I argue that these wh-questions strategies involve wh-movement. Wh-subject questions in Lokạạ are fascinating as the absence of an overt subject triggers the subject relative clause tone on the verb. I further show that wh-phrases and focused constituents in the language are not in complementary distribution and argue that wh phrases in the Lokạạ are not focused.

On the semantics of Tarifiyt verbs of seeing
Creators: name: Kossmann, Maarten
Publisher: name: Journal of African Languages and Literatures
Year: 2023

description: The Amazigh (aka Berber) language Tarifiyt has two different roots for ‘to see’, ẓr, and wř, which are in partial complementary distribution depending on the aspect of the verb. In this article, the exact distribution of these verb roots is discussed for one paticular variety of Tarifiyt, that spoken in and around the city of Nador. It is shown that there are two, partially overlapping, verbs, one ‘to go/come and see’, which is always expressed by ẓr, and the other a general ‘see’ verb, which uses the root wř in the Imperfective stems, and ẓr in the Aorist and Perfective stems. However, the distribution is more complicated than that, and in the negation of irrealis events, Imperfective ẓr can also be used with the general ‘see’ verb. Moreover, it is shown that the choice of the aspect in the general ‘see’ verb is different in its details from that of other verbs, something that it may share with other verbs of experience perception.

description: We study the ground-state topology and quasiparticle properties in bosonic Mott insulators with two- dimensional spin-orbit couplings in cold atomic optical lattices. We show that the many-body Chern and spin-Chern number can be expressed as an integral of the quasihole Berry curvatures over the Brillouin zone. Using a strong-coupling perturbation theory, for an experimentally feasible spin-orbit coupling, we compute the Berry curvature and the spin Chern number and find that these quantities can be generated purely by interactions. We also compute the quasiparticle dispersions, spectral weights, and the quasimomentum space distribution of particle and spin density, which can be accessed in cold-atom experiments and used to deduce the Berry curvature and Chern numbers.

description: Der Sachunterricht wird als ein besonders inklusionsförderliches Unterrichtsfach der Grundschule angesehen. Um gute Lernaufgaben für alle Schüler*innen zu realisieren, bedarf es dabei einer hohen diagnostischen Kompetenz der Lehrkräfte. Gute Lernaufgaben zeichnen sich durch eine Übereinstimmung zwischen Aufgabenanspruch und Lernvoraussetzungen der Schüler*innen im Sinne einer maximalen Adaptivität aus. Von ihnen können daher möglichst alle Lernenden profitieren. Anschließend an eine detaillierte Auseinandersetzung mit guten Lernaufgaben im Sachunterricht sowie mit der professionellen Herausforderung der Adaptivität steht in diesem Beitrag die Darstellung eines Analysetools im Fokus, das Lehrkräfte bei der Beschreibung und Reflexion von fach- und entwicklungsbezogenen Lernprozessen und -aufgaben im Sachunterricht unterstützen und ihnen dadurch die Wahrnehmung von Barrieren und Potentialen möglicher Lernaufgaben erleichtern soll. Abstract Primary science is considered to be a subject that is particularly conducive to inclusion. In order to realise good learning tasks for all pupils, teachers need a high level of diagnostic competence. Good learning tasks are characterized by a match between task demands and pupils’ learning requirements in the sense of maximum adaptivity. Therefore, all learners can benefit from them as much as possible. Following a detailed discussion of good learning tasks in primary science and the professional challenge of adaptivity, this article focuses on the presentation of an analytical tool that supports teachers in describing and reflecting on subject- and development-related learning processes and tasks in primary science and thus facilitates their perception of barriers and potentials of possible learning tasks.

description: We study the decomposition matrices for the unipotent $\ell$-blocks of finite special unitary groups SU$_n(q)$ for unitary primes $\ell$ larger than $n$. Up to very few unknown entries, we give a complete solution for $n=2,\ldots,10$. We also prove a general result for two-column partitions when $\ell$ divides $q+1$. This is achieved using projective modules coming from the $\ell$-adic cohomology of Deligne--Lusztig varieties.

description: We present our current progress on the design and test of Ti/TiN Multilayer for use in Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs). Sensors based on sub-stoichiometric TiN film are commonly used in several applications. However, it is difficult to control the targeted critical temperature $T_C$, to maintain precise control of the nitrogen incorporation process and to obtain a production uniformity. To avoid these problems we investigated multilayer Ti/TiN films that show a high uniformity coupled with high quality factor, kinetic inductance and inertness of TiN. These features are ideal to realize superconductive microresonator detectors for astronomical instruments application but also for the field of neutrino physics. Using pure Ti and stoichiometric TiN, we developed and tested different multilayer configuration, in term of number of Ti/TiN layers and in term of different interlayer thicknesses. The target was to reach a critical temperature $T_C$ around $(1÷1.5)$ K in order to have a low energy gap and slower recombination time (i.e. low generation-recombination noise). The results prove that the superconductive transition can be tuned in the $(0.5÷4.6)$ K temperature range properly choosing the Ti thickness in the $(0÷15)$ nm range, and the TiN thickness in the $(5÷100)$ nm range

description: The dynamics of a neural model for hippocampal place cells storing spatial maps is studied. In the absence of external input, depending on the number of cells and on the values of control parameters (number of environments stored, level of neural noise, average level of activity, connectivity of place cells), a 'clump' of spatially-localized activity can diffuse, or remains pinned due to crosstalk between the environments. In the single-environment case, the macroscopic coefficient of diffusion of the clump and its effective mobility are calculated analytically from first principles, and corroborated by numerical simulations. In the multi-environment case the heights and the widths of the pinning barriers are analytically characterized with the replica method; diffusion within one map is then in competition with transitions between different maps. Possible mechanisms enhancing mobility are proposed and tested.

description: We propose a scale-invariant chiral perturbation theory of the pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons of the chiral symmetry (pion "pi") as well as the scale symmetry (dilaton "phi") for the large N_f QCD. The resultant dilaton mass M_phi reads M_phi^2= m_phi^2 + (3-gamma_m)(1+gamma_m)/4 (2 N_f F_pi^2/F_phi^2) m_pi^2 + (chiral log corrections), where m_phi, m_pi, gamma_m, F_pi and F_phi are the dilaton mass in the chiral limit, the pion mass, mass anomalous dimension, decay constants of pi and phi, respectively. The chiral extrapolation of the lattice data on M_phi^2 vs m_pi^2 plot then simultaneously determines (m_phi, F_phi) of the technidilaton in the walking technicolor with gamma_m =~1. The chiral logarithmic corrections are explicitly given.

description: Variance-Gamma distributions are widely used in financial modelling and contain as special cases the normal, Gamma and Laplace distributions. In this paper we extend Stein's method to this class of distributions. In particular, we obtain a Stein equation and smoothness estimates for its solution. This Stein equation has the attractive property of reducing to the known normal and Gamma Stein equations for certain parameter values. We apply these results and local couplings to bound the distance between sums of the form $\sum_{i,j,k=1}^{m,n,r}X_{ik}Y_{jk}$, where the $X_{ik}$ and $Y_{jk}$ are independent and identically distributed random variables with zero mean, by their limiting Variance-Gamma distribution. Through the use of novel symmetry arguments, we obtain a bound on the distance that is of order $m^{-1}+n^{-1}$ for smooth test functions. We end with a simple application to binary sequence comparison.

description: Umfangreiche, fast ausschließlich aus Waffen zusammengesetzte Horte sind ein auffälliges Phänomen der späten Bronzezeit Großbritanniens. Mithilfe einer auf ausgewählte Museen beschränkten Materialaufnahme wurden einige dieser Deponierungen mitsamt Fotografien katalogisiert und die Objekte hinsichtlich ihrer Gebrauchsspuren untersucht. Auf diese Art konnte an vielen Stücken sowohl ein Kampfeinsatz wie auch eine rituelle Zerstörung im Zusammenhang mit der Niederlegung nachvollzogen werden. Es wird daher vorgeschlagen, die betroffenen Entdeckungen als die materiellen Reste von Opferungen nach militärischen Auseinandersetzungen zu interpretieren.
description: Extensive hoards that are nearly completely composed of weapons are a striking phenomenon of the Late Bronze Age of Great Britain. By means of research in selected museums some of these depositions were registered in a catalogue including photographs. The artefacts were furthermore investigated regarding their traces of use. Many pieces show signs of combat action as well as those of voluntary destructions in the course of their ritual abandonment. Therefore, it has been proposed to interpret these depositions as material remains of sacrifices after military events.

description: In order to support the odd moduli in models of (type IIB) string compactification, we classify the Calabi-Yau threefolds with h^{1,1}<=4 which exhibit pairs of identical divisors, with different line-bundle charges, mapping to each other under possible divisor exchange involutions. For this purpose, the divisors of interest are identified as completely rigid surface, Wilson surface, K3 surface and some other deformation surfaces. Subsequently, various possible exchange involutions are examined under the symmetry of Stanley-Reisner Ideal. In addition, we search for the Calabi-Yau theefolds which contain a divisor with several disjoint components. Under certain reflection involution, such spaces also have nontrivial odd components in (1,1)-cohomology class. String compactifications on such Calabi-Yau orientifolds with non-zero h^{1,1}_-(CY_3/σ) could be promising for concrete model building in both particle physics and cosmology. In the spirit of using such Calabi-Yau orientifolds in the context of LARGE volume scenario, we also present some concrete examples of (strong/weak) swiss-cheese type volume form.

description: We propose a mechanism to produce fluctuations in the viscosity parameter ($α$) in differetially rotating discs. We carried out a nonlinear analysis of a general accretion flow, where any perturbation on the background $α$ was treated as a passive/slave variable in the sense of dynamical system theory. We demonstrate a complete physical picture of growth, saturation and final degradation of the perturbation as a result of the nonlinear nature of coupled system of equations. The strong dependence of this fluctuation on the radial location in the accretion disc and the base angular momentum distribution is demonstrated. The growth of fluctuations is shown to have a time scale comparable to the radial drift time and hence the physical significance is discussed. The fluctuation is found to be a power law in time in the growing phase and we briefly discuss its statistical significance.

Die genaue Herkunft des Stückes in unbekannt. Aufgrund eines handschriftlichen Zettels muss das Stück allerdings in der Zeit von 1935 bis zum Kriegsende 1945 in den Besitz der „Pflegestätte für Germanenkunde“ bzw. des Lippischen Landesmuseums gekommen sein.

The interpretation of the use of such rattlles is varied.The use as a musical instrument also as children’s toys, for cultic actions and as a rattle for leprosy patients are to take into consideration. The exact origin of the piece in unknown. Due to a hand-written note the rattle must have come in the possession of the Lippische Landesmuseum in the period from 1935 till the end of Word War II in 1945.
Quark mass anomalous dimension and $Λ_{\overline{\textrm{MS}}}$ from the twisted mass Dirac operator spectrum

description: We investigate whether it is possible to extract the quark mass anomalous dimension and its scale dependence from the spectrum of the twisted mass Dirac operator in Lattice QCD. The answer to this question appears to be positive, provided that one goes to large enough eigenvalues, sufficiently above the non-perturbative regime. The obtained results are compared to continuum perturbation theory. By analyzing possible sources of systematic effects, we find the domain of applicability of the approach, extending from an energy scale of around 1.5 to 4 GeV. The lower limit is dictated by physics (non-perturbative effects at low energies), while the upper bound is set by the ultraviolet cut-off of present-day lattice simulations. The information about the scale dependence of the anomalous dimension allows also to extract the value of the $Λ_{\overline{\textrm{MS}}}$-parameter of 2-flavour QCD, yielding the value $303(13)(25)$ MeV, where the first error is statistical and the second one systematic. We use gauge field configuration ensembles generated by the European Twisted Mass Collaboration (ETMC) with 2 flavours of dynamical twisted mass quarks, at 4 lattice spacings in the range between around 0.04 and 0.08 fm.

description: If cold dark matter consists of particles, these must be non-interacting and non-relativistic by definition. In most cold dark matter models however, dark matter particles inherit a non-vanishing velocity dispersion from interactions in the early universe, a velocity that redshifts with cosmic expansion but certainly remains non-zero. In this article, we place model-independent constraints on the dark matter temperature to mass ratio, whose square root determines the dark matter velocity dispersion. We only assume that dark matter particles decoupled kinetically while non-relativistic, when galactic scales had not entered the horizon yet, and that their momentum distribution has been Maxwellian since that time. Under these assumptions, using cosmic microwave background and matter power spectrum observations, we place upper limits on the temperature to mass ratio of cold dark matter today (away from collapsed structures). These limits imply that the present cold dark matter velocity dispersion has to be smaller than 54 m/s. Cold dark matter has to be quite cold, indeed.

description: We consider an electrolyte solution confined by semipermeable membranes in contact with a salt-free solvent. Membranes are uncharged, but since small counter-ions leak-out into infinite salt-free reservoirs, we observe a distance-dependent membrane potential, which generates a repulsive electrostatic disjoining pressure. We obtain the distribution of the potential and of ions, and derive explicit formulas for the disjoining pressure, which are validated by computer simulations. We predict a strong short-range power-law repulsion, and a weaker long-range exponential decay. Our results also demonstrate that an interaction between membranes does strongly depend on the screening lengths, valency of an electrolyte solution, and an inter-membrane film thickness. Finally, our analysis can be directly extended to the study of more complex situations and some biological problems.

APPLICATION OF HYALURONIC ACID IN THE HEALING OF NON-EXPERIMENTAL OPEN WOUNDS: A PILOT STUDY ON 12 WOUNDS IN 10 CLIENT-OWNED DOGS
Creators: name: FERRARI, ROBERTA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano

description: Aim - Veterinarians have frequently to deal with wounds to the skin, subcutis and underlying muscle. The aim was to explore the application of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) -containing dressing on open skin wounds in dogs. The progress of healing was assessed by wound area reduction and two scoring scales applied in human medicine. Materials and Methods - Ten client-owned dogs with 12 cutaneous open wounds healed by second intention were included. All wounds were treated using available in commerce HA-containing wound dressing from admission to complete re-epithelialization. At every clinical examination, wound area and scale scoring assessments were performed. Results - After debridement an increased wound size was obtained while an improvement was determined by both grading systems. The median numbers of return to clinic for bandage change was 5 times. The median time to complete wound healing was 34.5 days. The mean wound area at day 7,14,21 and 28 were respectively 90.4%, 47.7%, 22.4% and 14.8% of the original size (for linear measurement) and 95.5%, 54.4%, 23.10% and 14.8% of the original size (for software measurement). Regarding wound healing assessment tools, the agreement between two operators was considered high for both scales. Conclusions - HA-containing dressing may be a possible wound treatment for cutaneous open wounds in dogs. The assessment of wound quality using scale scoring system could be useful especially in the earlier healing period and to direct clinical decision-making process.

description: Vacuum properties of quantum chromodynamics in strong magnetic and finite electric fields are investigated. We show that when a uniform electric field is instantaneously applied in the parallel direction to a strong magnetic field, it induces temporal oscillation of the chiral and pion condensates. This is a temporal analog to the chiral spiral. The oscillation originates with the propagation of the collective mode, which is protected by the axial anomaly and thus nondissipative.

description: This project reconstructs the development of art exhibitions promoted by the committee ?Francia-Italia? in Turin from 1951 to 1964. This committee organized the art exhibitions ?Peintres d?aujourd?hui. France-Italie? (or ?Pittori d?Oggi. Francia-Italia?), earlier in the halls of the ?Promotrice? from 1951 to 1959, and later at GAM from 1961. This committee extends its own action, beyond the seven editions of ?Pittori d?Oggi? (1951,1952, 1953, 1955, 1957, 1959, 1961) with Chagall?s (1953), de Sta�l?s (1960), Robert and Sonia Delaunay?s (1960), Vieira da Silva?s (1964) great exhibitions. The exhibitions ?Pittori d?Oggi? arose on the initiative of some influential members of Turin upper middle class and it have been organized by Vittorio Viale, director of Musei Civici, and by the critic of art and journalist Luigi Carluccio. The exhibitions should symbolize the modern art twinning of two nations. For each exhibitions the two different artistic committees, one for France (Cogniat, Cassou, Lassaigne, Estienne, Jullian, Huyghe, Besson, Laymarie) and one for Italy (Viale, Arcangeli, Argan, Carluccio, Pallucchini, Ragghianti e Vitali), draw up long lists of artists who would represent, on their opinion, the best of the artistic production of the two countries. In this way, ?Francia-Italia? takes part in the debate between realism and abstractionism and show the progress of critical reception of the French painting in Italy, from Pignon and Manessier to Fautrier.

description: We investigate the vacuum stability as well as the gravitational corrections in extensions of the Standard Model featuring a new complex scalar, and two Dirac fermions for different choices of the hypercharge of the scalar and one of the two fermions. The neutral fermion acquires loop-induced magnetic interactions with the Standard Model and could be identified with a dark matter candidate. To the lowest order in perturbation theory we show that these extensions can save the electroweak vacuum from being metastable. We then add the gravitational corrections to the different beta functions and discover that the models can be compatible with the asymptotically safe gravity scenario at the price of a heavier Higgs and lighter top mass.

description: Quantum repeaters (QRs) provide a way of enabling long distance quantum communication by establishing entangled qubits between remote locations. We investigate a new approach to QRs in which quantum information can be faithfully transmitted via a noisy channel without the use of long distance teleportation, thus eliminating the need to establish remote entangled links. Our approach makes use of small encoding blocks to fault-tolerantly correct both operational and photon loss errors. We describe a way to optimize the resource requirement for these QRs with the aim of the generation of a secure key. Numerical calculations indicate that the number of quantum memory bits required for our scheme has favorable poly-logarithmic scaling with the distance across which the communication is desired.

BIOLOGICAL AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE OF MIRNA EXPRESSION SIGNATURES IN PRIMARY PLASMA CELL LEUKEMIA

description: Purpose: Plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is a very aggressive and rare hematological malignancy that can be distinguished into primary (pPCL), originating de novo, or secondary (sPCL), arising as a leukemic transformation of multiple myeloma (MM). Genomic and clinical differences between pPCL and MM have been demonstrated, mainly based on retrospective studies. This study was aimed at investigating the involvement of miRNAs in pPCL and their possible relationship with higher tumor aggressiveness. Experimental design: MiRNA expression profiles were analyzed in highly-purified malignant plasma cells from 18 pPCL cases included in a prospective clinical trial. MiRNA expression patterns were evaluated in comparison with a representative series of multiple myeloma (MM) patients, in relation to the most recurrent chromosomal abnormalities (as assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridization and single nucleotide polymorphism-array analysis), and in association with clinical outcome. MiRNA expression was also integrated with gene expression profiles and computational prediction of miRNA target genes in pPCL and MM samples in order to identify putative target genes of deregulated miRNAs. The functional role of a few identified miRNAs in plasma cell dyscrasia pathogenesis was explored by transfection of synthetic pre/anti-miRNAs in multiple myeloma cell lines. Results: We identified a series of deregulated miRNAs in pPCL (42 up- and 41 down-regulated) in comparison with MM. Some of them, based on their reported functions or putative target genes computed by integrative analysis, might have a role in the pathobiology of pPCL, such as miR-21, that was found to promote in vitro growth of MM cell lines. As regards chromosomal aberrations, the expression of some miRNAs mapped to hot-spot altered regions was associated with DNA copy number of the corresponding genomic loci; furthermore, TP53 deletion, a frequent cytogenetic lesion in our pPCL cohort, was found associated with a trend of down-regulation of miR-34a, whose tumor suppressor activity was demonstrated for the first time also in the context of MM. Finally, four miRNAs (miR-497, miR-106b, miR-181a* and miR-181b) were identified having expression levels correlated with treatment response, and four (miR-92a, miR-330-3p, miR-22, and miR-146a) with clinical outcome. Conclusions: Overall, this study provides insights into the possible contribution of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of pPCL and suggests targets for future therapeutic investigations.

description: With a growing population of elderly people, the number of subjects at risk of cognitive disorders is rapidly increasing. Many research groups are studying pervasive solutions to continuously and unobtrusively monitor fragile subjects in their homes, reducing health-care costs and supporting the medical diagnosis. Clinicians are interested in monitoring several behavioral aspects for a wide variety of applications: early diagnosis, emergency monitoring, assessment of cognitive disorders, etcetera. Among the several behavioral aspects of interest, anomalous behaviors while performing activities of daily living (ADLs) are of great importance. Indeed, these anomalies can be indicators of serious cognitive diseases like Mild Cognitive Impairment. The recognition of such abnormal behaviors relies on robust and accurate ADLs recognition systems. Moreover, in order to enable unobtrusive and privacy-aware monitoring, environmental sensors in charge of unobtrusively capturing the interaction of the subject with the home infrastructure should be preferred. This thesis presents several contributions on this topic. The major ones are two novel hybrid ADLs recognition algorithms. The former is supervised while the latter is unsupervised. Preliminary results, which still need to be confirmed, show that the recognition rate of the unsupervised method is comparable to the one obtained by the supervised one, with the great advantage of not requiring the acquisition of an annotated dataset. Beyond ADLs recognition, other contributions on smart sensing and anomaly recognition are presented. Regarding unobtrusive sensing, we propose a machine learning technique to detect fine-grained manipulations performed by the inhabitant on household objects instrumented with tiny accelerometer sensors. Finally, a novel rule-based framework for the recognition of fine-grained abnormal behaviors is presented. Experimental results on several datasets show the effectiveness of all the proposed techniques.
