description: Art Style | Art & Culture International Magazine Fourth Edition It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the fourth issue of Art Style Magazine, a peer-reviewed open-access magazine. Concerning the characteristics that represent socio-cultural transformations, specifically, we always consider themes that can approach art in its practical and theoretical scope in our editions. Contemporary culture and society have – as their leading reference – art through its ideas, forms, and functions, since it is in the arts that the representative features of our times are found. Experiences are transforming representation's models – like movies, songs, or artworks in any of their formats – building and representing our history, our perceptions, our understanding, and our sense of belonging through what represents the heritage of humanity.
description: Art Style, Art & Culture International Magazine is an open-access, biannual, and peer-reviewed online magazine that aims to bundle cultural diversity. All values of cultures are shown in their varieties of art. Beyond the importance of the medium, form, and context in which art takes its characteristics, art is considered the significance of socio-cultural, historical, and market influence.

description: Die Wahrnehmung von Verbraucher 'Verbrauchermacht' sowie Formen moralischen Konsums erfolgt mithin entlang absoluter Kategorien – stark/schwach, erfolgreich/gescheitert. Ein Blick in die Geschichte moralisierten Verbraucherverhaltens – hier am Beispiel von Konsumboykotten zur Zeit des Deutschen Kaiserreichs – legt nahe, dieses Bild zu differenzieren. Aussagen zu Umfang und Wirkmächtigkeit moralisierten Verbraucherverhaltens kommen nicht umhin, dessen Prämissen und Variantenreichtum zu berücksichtigen.

Dogear: sistema di archiviazione digitale

description: Chiunque sia abituato a leggere riviste, quotidiani o qualsiasi altro tipo di pubblicazione ha probabilmente immaginato negli anni una piccola biblioteca mentale nella quale siano stipati i contenuti più interessanti, quelli appassionanti. Ma la memoria è naturalmente limitata, i cassetti prima o poi finiscono e proprio quando si vuole cucinare il pollo alla diavola non si ricorda più dov’è finita la ricetta. Forse la pagina era stata strappata dalla rivista e inserita in un raccoglitore volumetrico, ma per ritrovarla (ammesso che si riesca) bisognerebbe sfogliarlo completamente perdendo la pazienza e la voglia di cucinare. Ora, con la crescita costante delle pubblicazioni digitali, la possibilità di archiviare contenuti è facilitata dalla Rete del World Wide Web. In questo progetto di tesi sono stati analizzati gli strumenti esistenti che permettono di categorizzare i documenti dei quali si necessita una veloce consultazione anche a distanza di tempo. Per poter realizzare il progetto è stato necessario approfondire il tema dell’editoria; ciò che è stato preso in considerazione come punto d’incontro tra stampato e digitale è l’organizzazione, la gestione e la consultazione di documenti personali tramite un archivio. Entrambi i formati, infatti, necessitano di essere categorizzati e organizzati a seconda di esigenze o gusti personali. Dall’analisi è emerso inoltre che non esiste ancora un’applicazione che racchiuda singoli articoli provenienti da entrambi i mondi editoriali, per evitarne la duplicazione non autorizzata; l’intento è di guardare oltre alle limitazioni tuttora presenti e proporsi come un futuro sistema di archiviazione digitale. Il progetto vuole quindi essere: sia uno strumento funzionale che utilizza un linguaggio conosciuto e consolidato grazie allo sviluppo di applicazioni dedicate alla lettura digitale, sia una sperimentazione e un azzardo a livello di contenuti e gestualità. Nasce Dogear, “fare l’orecchia alla pagina”. Un archivio da portare sempre con sé.
DELAMINATION AND FATIGUE ANALYSIS OF SILICON SOLAR CELLS USING FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Fracture of silicon solar cells in photovoltaic (PV) modules are widely reported and a wellknown issue in the PV industry, since it is exposed to adverse climatic conditions and varying temperature loads. A commercial silicon solar cell is mainly composed of four different layers. This thesis investigates delamination failure and thermal fatigue failure due to alternating temperature loads using finite element method (FEM) simulation.
 The delamination of the encapsulant (EVA) layer and the cell interface was simulated using finite element (FE) simulations in the COMSOL Multiphysics software. The adhesion between the layers were modeled using the cohesive zone model (CZM). The CZM parameters such as normal strength and penalty stiffness were used for the bilinear traction-separation law for the cohesive model in a 90-degree configuration. The critical energy release rate (𝐺𝐺𝑐𝑐) was experimentally calculated as one of the CZM parameters. A uniaxial tensile test of the upper layer of the cell was conducted to determine the material properties of the solar cell layers, and that information was later used for FE simulations. To validate the simulation, we compared the peeling force graph from the experiment and FE simulation, and it was found both graphs showed a maximum peeling force of 120 N.
 Finite element simulations were also conducted to predict the stress variations in the silicon solar cell layer due to alternating temperatures. An alternating temperature function was developed using triangular waveform equations in the COMSOL Multiphysics software. For this simulation, a 3D model of the cell with a 90-degree peel arm was used, like in the peeling simulation. A maximum stress of 7.31 x 10−3 𝑁/𝑚𝑚2 was observed on the encapsulant (EVA)/cell layer, but no delamination was observed for the given temperature range. In future work, we plan to explore the calculation of fatigue life using thermal simulation to predict the reliability of a solar cell.
Food security and food sovereignty in the Creston Valley of British Columbia
Creators: name: Taylor, Joanne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Food security is one of the most pressing challenges of our time with over one in ten people in Canada suffering from some form of food insecurity. While poverty, or the inability to purchase food, is often understood to be the most immediate cause of food insecurity, food sovereignty emphasizes ways in which industrial agriculture has led to a loss of local control over agricultural land and of opportunity for communities to feed themselves in culturally appropriate ways. In this dissertation, I incorporate food sovereignty principles into my definition of food security and develop a food security assessment matrix to assess the relative contributions of different food production systems to food security based upon the data I have collected. Through a case study approach focused on the Creston Valley in British Columbia, I examine the relationships of three distinct food production systems to food security at local, regional, and national levels using focussed ethnographic methods. I conducted 87 semi-structured interviews with agriculturalists, water managers, and members of the Indigenous yaqan nukiy community, as well as 15 observational studies and one focus group with small-scale market gardeners. Industrial farmers grow a variety of crops for sale in global markets. Small-scale market gardeners grow food for local consumption. The yaqan nu?kiy, an Indigenous Ktunaxa community, rely on traditional foods to some extent but also participate in both industrial and market garden agriculture. All are affected by the management of the Libby Dam, one of four dams built under the auspices of the transboundary Columbia River Treaty. My research findings suggest that a significant number of Creston Valley households are food insecure, and given the current configuration of farming practices, contradictory federal policies, climate change impacts, unresolved Indigenous issues, and water management challenges, the Creston Valley as a whole is at significant risk of higher rates of food insecurity in the future. However, the current renaissance of small-scale farming in the Creston Valley represents a promising alternative to an over-reliance on industrial farming while the innovative approach of the yaqan nuʔkiy offers hope for a more food secure future. I conclude with recommendations for the integration of federal food security policy with agricultural policy, stronger governmental support for small-scale farming, improvements to the management regime for the Kootenay floodplain, and full recognition of Indigenous rights in a renegotiated Columbia River Treaty.

description: Heutige Debatten über die gesundheitlichen Risiken von Zusatzstoffen und industrieller Lebensmittelproduktion sind Wiedergänger entsprechender Auseinandersetzungen in der Zwischenkriegszeit. Das sich durch die Vitamin und Mineralstoffforschung rasch erweiternde wissenschaftliche Wissen um "richtige" und "gesunde" Ernährung rief damals zahllose Rückfragen hervor, sowohl innerhalb der etablierten Wissenschaft als auch durch alternative Außenseiter. Am Beispiel zeitgenössischer Publizistik behandelt der vorliegende Beitrag Debatten über Fehlernährung und "Gift" in der Nahrung. Drei Themenfelder – Brotherstellung und Karies, Milchbestrahlung und Rachitis, Schönung von Lebensmitteln durch Farb- und Konservierungsstoffe – werden exemplarisch untersucht. Die historische Analyse verdeutlicht, dass ohne eine fundierte Rückfrage an Wissensproduktion und Debattenformationen auch heutige Verbraucherschutzarbeit Stückwerk bleibt.

Variable selection with error control: Another look at Stability Selection

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Stability Selection was recently introduced by Meinshausen and Buhlmann (2010) as a very general technique designed to improve the performance of a variable selection algorithm. It is based on aggregating the results of applying a selection procedure to subsamples of the data. We introduce a variant, called Complementary Pairs Stability Selection (CPSS), and derive bounds both on the expected number of variables included by CPSS that have low selection probability under the original procedure, and on the expected number of high selection probability variables that are excluded. These results require no (e.g. exchangeability) assumptions on the underlying model or on the quality of the original selection procedure. Under reasonable shape restrictions, the bounds can be further tightened, yielding improved error control, and therefore increasing the applicability of the methodology.

description: If the equation of the title has an integer solution with k>=2, then m>10^{10^6}. Leo Moser showed this in 1953 by amazingly elementary methods. With the hindsight of more than 50 years his proof can be somewhat simplified. We give a further proof showing that Moser's result can be derived from a von Staudt-Clausen type theorem. Based on more recent developments concerning this equation, we derive a new result using the divisibility properties of numbers in the sequence 2^{2e+1}+1, e=0,1,2,..... In the final section we show that certain Erdos-Moser type equations arising in a recent paper of Kellner can be solved completely.

description: Anhand der Debatte über die Novelle des westdeutschen Lebensmittelgesetzes in den 1950er-Jahren lässt sich zeigen, wie ein problematischer volksgesundheitlicher Diskurs zum Bestand der Verbraucherpolitik wurde. Dabei hatte sich das sozialmedizinische Konzept der "Volksgesundheit" in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts in eine Zivilisationskritik verwandelt, die zwischen gesunden und natürlichen Stoffen einerseits und krankmachenden und künstlichen "Fremdstoffen" andererseits unterschied. Die sogenannte Verbraucherwartung ist seitdem auch an ernährungsreformerische und zivilisationskritische Diskurse gebunden.

description: S100A8/A9 (Calprotectin) serves as a biomarker for various inflammatory diseases, such as for peritonsillar abscess (PTA). Recently, the PTA score was developed for reliable PTA identification. It uses a combination of characteristic clinical symptoms and elevated calprotectin levels in serum and saliva to determine this score. Although well-established point-of-care tests (POCT) to determine serum or faecal calprotectin levels exist, a reliable and rapid tool to analyse salivary calprotectin has not yet been described. In this study, we analysed the potential of the QUANTUM BLUE sCAL Test (QBT, BÜHLMANN Laboratories AG, Switzerland) to determine S100A8/A9 levels during outpatient management. These QBT measurements are combined with other clinical factors to determine the PTA score. Significantly higher calprotectin levels were determined by QBT in patients with PTA compared to healthy controls. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for the QBT revealed cut-off values of 2940 ng/ml (sensitivity = 0.88, specificity = 0.78) in serum and 5310 ng/ml (sensitivity = 0.80, specificity = 0.50) in saliva. By adding the QBT results to determine PTA values, a ROC analysis provided a statistical cut-off score of 2.5 points to identify the existence of a PTA with a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 89.3%. The QUANTUM BLUE sCAL Test (QBT) is an appropriate POCT to determine serum and salivary calprotectin levels. Thus, PTA scores can be determined within a short time frame by applying the QBT during outpatient management.

description: Am Beispiel der No!

Der Erfolg japanischer Verbraucherschützer hängt aber maßgeblich von political opportunity structures ab. Während zu Beginn der 2000er Jahre auf Druck der No! GMO-Kampagne Grenzwerte für GVO eingeführt wurden, weil in dieser Zeit auch ein neues Regulierungssystem für Lebensmittelsicherheit entstand, war die Stop TPP!-Kampagne nicht erfolgreich, weil die TPP für die japanische Regierung sowohl ökonomisch als auch sicherheitspolitisch wichtig und Verbraucherinteressen nachrangig waren.

description: We implement in a reactive programming framework a simulation of three aspects of quantum mechanics: self-interference, state superposition, and entanglement. The simulation basically consists in a cellular automaton embedded in a synchronous environment which defines global discrete instants and broadcast events. The implementation shows how a simulation of fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics can be obtained from the synchronous parallel combination of a small number of elementary components.

description: It is well known that there is a highly increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Human activities such as cattle raising and construction are affecting the ecosystem by altering the atmospheric composition. The development of feasible technologies to control and capture CO2 emissions are of paramount interest in the field of applied sciences. There are natural ways to capture CO2, which can be used in the construction of buildings, generally using external layers of CO2 sequestering materials in such buildings. In the same way, conventional and unconventional technologies for CO2 control can be observed in industrial processes. Currently, researchers are studying new techniques for the application of absorption methods in smart materials that could be a sustainable alternative in the activity of CO2 absorption. A great way to start studying absorption of CO2, could be reviewing the literature and analyze the different existing methods of CO2 capture.

Alkohol in Karl Mays Leben und Werk

description: In der 2016/17 in drei Teilen in den 'Mitteilungen der Karl-May-Gesellschaft' publizierten kulturwissenschaftlichen Studie werden am Beispiel der 'legalen Droge' Alkohol die Spiegelungen gesellschaftlicher Entwicklungen des 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts im Werk eines populären Schriftstellers aufgezeigt.
Karl May (*1842), Sohn eines erzgebirgischen Webers und einer Hebamme, war in seiner Kindheit und Jugend mit den Folgen des unmäßigen Genusses von Alkohol, insbesondere von billigem Schnaps, durch die aufgrund des Niedergangs der Heimweberei von extremer Armut geplagten Einwohner seiner Heimatstadt Hohenstein-Ernstthal  konfrontiert. Mays Einschätzung des Alkohols wurde durch diese Erlebnisse geprägt. In seinem Werk werden die Postulate der ersten deutschen Mäßigkeitsbewegung aufgegriffen, die in den dreißiger und vierziger Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts gegen die - in weiten Kreisen der durch den Umbruch der industriellen Revolution betroffenen Arbeiter und Handwerker verbreitete -  'Branntweinpest' kämpfte. Deshalb ist Schnaps, anders als die von der Mäßigkeitsbewegung tolerierten Alkoholika Bier und Wein, in den populären Erzählungen Mays ein 'teuflisches' Getränk. Der Alkoholiker leidet, entgegen der herrschenden Meinung der Medizin seit dem ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert, bei May nicht an einer Krankheit, sondern wird als moralisch gefallene Persönlichkeit charakterisiert. In seinem symbolistischen Spätwerk ab 1900 griff der Autor, der dem 'bürgerlichen Flügel' der Lebensreformbewegung nahe stand, die Thesen der sich zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts formierenden Abstinenzbewegung auf, die nicht nur den Branntwein, sondern alle alkoholischen Getränke als Gefahr für die Gesellschaft  ansah.

description: Introduction: Mood and anxiety disorders are the most prevalent mental health disorders worldwide; they can cause significant physical distress and impaired functioning. In Canada, quantifying and describing the impact of these disorders is a priority. Objectives: (1) To explore the trends in the prevalence of mood and/or anxiety disorders by geographical regions in Canada, and to assess key determinants of health associated with mental health disparities across these regions. (2) To assess whether food security, access to regular medical doctor, and sense of belonging to the community mediate the relationship between mood and/or anxiety disorders and general health satisfaction. Methods: This serial cross-sectional study used data from a nationally representative sample of Canadians, aged 18-59, from the Canadian Community Health Survey, annual cycles 2011-2016. Bivariate relationships were examined using chi-square tests for categorical variables and t-tests for continuous variables. Adjusted logistic regression models were used to identify which factors were associated with the prevalence of mood and/or anxiety disorders (using SAS 9.4). Mediation models were based on the Sobel product of coefficients approach (using Stata version 13). Results: The prevalence of mood and/or anxiety disorders increased across all regions between 2011 and 2016, with Quebec consistently having the lowest prevalence, and the Atlantic region having the highest. In most regions, individuals who drank occasionally or regularly, males, immigrants, non-Caucasians and those with a strong sense of belonging to a community were less likely to be diagnosed with a mood and/or anxiety disorder. Across most regions, sexual orientation and food security were the characteristics associated with our outcome. In our second analysis, for most years, respondents who described having fair/poor general health satisfaction reported a weak sense of belonging to the community, being food insecure, and having a mood and/or anxiety disorder. In our mediation analysis, food security and sense of community belonging partially mediated the association between mood and/or anxiety diagnosis and general health satisfaction. Conclusions: This research provided new data for provincial governments to identify programs and policies that intervene to improve key health determinants associated with mood and/or anxiety disorders across regions in Canada.

description: We propose a scheme for a cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) architecture for a current-biased superconducting flux qubit with three Josephson junctions. The qubit operation is performed by using a bias current coming from the current mode of the circuit resonator. If the phase differences of junctions are to be coupled with the bias current, the Josephson junctions should be arranged in an asymmetric way in the qubit loop. Our QED scheme provides a strong coupling between the flux qubit and the transmission line resonator of the circuit.

description: Il presente lavoro di diploma intende indagare in che modo l’utilizzo di fonti storiche appartenenti al vissuto personale dei familiari dei/lle miei/mie allievi/e favorisce l’apprendimento di competenze temporali e linguistiche in bambini dell’OBB2, della Scuola dell’Infanzia. Il percorso didattico si struttura in incontri a distanza, mediante l’utilizzo di video-registrazioni e/o lettere, volti a favorire il racconto della propria infanzia e il gioco preferito dei nonni o delle nonne oppure di uno dei genitori. Con questo approccio i/le discenti avranno l’opportunità di conoscere e scoprire la propria identità familiare e quella dei pari e di confrontarsi con diverse tipologie di fonti storiche che permettono la costruzione del tempo passato. Gli attori partecipanti e i materiali proposti consentono di prendere conoscenza e consapevolezza della grande ricchezza che ognuno di noi conserva nella propria identità, ovvero la propria storia. Per la raccolta dati vengono utilizzati due strumenti: la discussione (con il suo protocollo) e tre categorie di lettura, individue a metà percorso, che permetteranno di strutturare e circoscrivere le opinioni emerse. I risultati ottenuti permettono di accertare l’efficacia delle scelte metodologiche e didattiche per favorire l’apprendimento delle competenze temporali e linguistiche in bambini dell’OBB2.

description: The web site worldometer, https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/, is giving data about Covid-19 Coronavirus Pandemic. For each country, the site is showing, among several charts, those of the daily new cases, from February 15, 2020, to the day of the visualization of the page (in this work, the beginning of October, 2021). A 7-day moving average is also displayed for data. Here we show the chart and the recurrence plot of such averaged daily new cases, concerning Italy. We will consider also data charts from the web site Our World in Data, https://ourworldindata.org/, given according to 7-day moving average too. Data are concerning the daily number of tests, the percentage tests being positive for the virus, the effective reproduction rate and the stringency index. From the percentage of positive tests, a discussion about the circulation of the virus during the first wave in Italy is proposed and an estimate of the daily new cases at its peak. Among the several data analysed by Our World in Data, https://ourworldindata.org/, we can find also the percentage of variants circulating in each country. The charts for daily new cases, stringency index and vaccinated people will be given also for the United Kingdom, in the framework of a discussion made by Giorgio Parisi, Nobel Laureate 2021 in Physics.

description: A first-principles DFT-GGA+U study of the doping of GaN with Cr, Mn, or Fe confirms a strong tendency for the formation of embedded clusters occupying Ga sites of the wurtzite and zinc blende phases of GaN. Within the employed computation model, the tendency for aggregation is larger for Cr and Mn than for Fe. In contrast to previous DFT-GGA calculations, we predict a ferromagnetic ordering of the Cr and Mn clusters having more than two atoms while the Fe clusters are all antiferromagnetic. We have also investigated the magnetic ordering of nearest-neighboring ionic pairs that substitute gallium atoms at the (0001) wz-GaN surface. We find that Fe dopants tend to aggregate, whereas there is a repulsive interaction in the case of Cr and Mn. Nearest neighbor Mn and Fe pairs are coupled antiferromagnetically whereas the Cr pair is coupled ferromagnetically. The relevance of our finding to recent experimental findings is discussed.

Germans on demand : the migration of highly-skilled German workers to the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada, under the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program, 2000 to 2015
Creators: name: Marten, Tina Inez Lissa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Temporary foreign workers, in particular Mexicans and Jamaicans, have been coming to the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, Canada, since the 1970s, often sojourning for consecutive years. Since 2000 male German skilled workers have also come to the region as temporary foreign workers. Contrary to Mexicans and Jamaicans, German skilled workers have been invited into the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BCPNP), allowing select skilled workers to transition from temporary to permanent residency. This research examines the BCPNP in its Okanagan context and investigates the circumstances of the German skilled labour recruited into this program. Using German male skilled workers as a case study, the study investigates the “German advantage” of these skilled workers as ideal participants in the BCPNP. The research also investigates the intermediaries of this migration phenomenon and documents the characteristics of this recruitment. Finally, the research examines the settlement and integration experiences of skilled workers and their wives in the Valley. This research is a bi-local empirical study, conducted in the countries of Germany and Canada. The study’s qualitative research methods of inquiry include 40 interviews with government officials, migration intermediaries, and skilled workers and their wives; field trips in the Okanagan Valley and in Berlin, Hamburg and Bonn in Germany; research of a variety of media sources, government reports and government statistical data; and a skilled worker questionnaire. The research demonstrates that Germans are conceptualized as ideal for the BCPNP due to their fascination with and desire to migrate to Canada. Their aspiration to permanently remain in Canada makes them willing participants in the BCPNP. The study also uncovers that Okanagan employers are actively supported by the German state in their recruitment efforts. Furthermore, the research documents that male skilled workers, while economically integrated, remain socially isolated in Canada; their wives are neither. Both, husband and wife, are forced into traditional gender roles. And last, the study chronicles how the BCPNP creates a vulnerable and precarious work force, which is willing to endure poor working conditions for the opportunity to migrate to Canada. The research makes policy recommendations to address precarities arising from BCPNP participation.
Regulatory Agencies in Brazil vs. the United States: A Comparative Study
Creators: name: DE OLIVEIRA DIAS, MURILLO
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2023
Subjects: Business information management (incl. records, knowledge and intelligence)

description: This article describes Brazil's regulatory agencies compared to the United States, emphasizing their similarities and differences and discussing the Brazilian regulatory agencies in detail. After careful content analysis, key findings pointed out a significant disparity within both countries: while in Brazil, the first regulatory agency was created in 1996 - National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL), in the United States, the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) was founded 114 years before, in 1887, evidencing a long tradition and expertise regarding the regulatory environment from the North American agencies. There are currently eleven regulatory agencies in Brazil, while in the United States, there are 47. Different types and functions give North American regulatory agencies a higher level of sophistication than the Brazilian regulatory system, meaning that the Brazilian regulatory framework finds an excellent deal for improvement. One of the implications that compile the current work is the discussion about the existence of a political influence in regulating agencies needing to catch up compared to their American counterparts' pace of innovation.
Fast optical variability of SS 433

description: We study the optical variability of the peculiar Galactic source SS 433 using the observations made with the Russian Turkish 1.5-m telescope (RTT150). A simple technique which allows to obtain high-quality photometric measurements with 0.3-1 s time resolution using ordinary CCD is described in detail. Using the test observations of nonvariable stars, we show that the atmospheric turbulence introduces no significant distortions into the measured light curves. Therefore, the data obtained in this way are well suited for studying the aperiodic variability of various objects. The large amount of SS 433 optical light curve measurements obtained in this way allowed us to obtain the power spectra of its flux variability with a record sensitivity up to frequencies of ~0.5 Hz and to detect its break at frequency =~2.4e-3 Hz. We suggest that this break in the power spectrum results from the smoothing of the optical flux variability due to a finite size of the emitting region. Based on our measurement of the break frequency in the power spectrum, we estimated the size of the accretion-disk photosphere as 2e12 cm. We show that the amplitude of the variability in SS 433 decreases sharply during accretion-disk eclipses, but it does not disappear completely. This suggests that the size of the variable optical emission source is comparable to that of the normal star whose size is therefore R_O \approx 2e12 cm \approx 30 R_sun. The decrease in flux variability amplitude during eclipses suggests the presence of a nonvariable optical emission component with a magnitude m_R=~13.2.

Dalla costruzione della frase alla redazione di un testo espositivo: il viaggio di una terza elementare
Creators: name: Lotti, Eleonora

description: Questo lavoro di ricerca, svolto in una terza elementare, ha come scopo quello di verificare se un itinerario didattico impostato sul metodo induttivo e dedicato all’esercizio e alla riflessione graduali su alcuni aspetti chiave della frase e del testo permetta agli allievi di evolvere nella competenza sintattico- testuale. L’itinerario presentato in questo lavoro persegue, oltre a un traguardo linguistico, anche un obiettivo finale concreto, in quanto al termine del percorso è stato chiesto agli allievi di redigere un testo espositivo per costruire una mini-rivista scientifica sul sistema solare. All’interno di questo percorso ci ha accompagnato T094S, un simpatico alieno, con il quale abbiamo mantenuto uno scambio epistolare. T094S era molto interessato al nostro sistema solare, ma spesso ci inviava delle lettere poco comprensibili che necessitavano di essere riviste dal punto di vista sintattico. Per aiutare l’alieno, gli allievi hanno iniziato a riflettere e a esercitarsi su alcuni aspetti chiave della frase e del testo: questo ha quindi permesso loro di evolvere nella competenza sintattico-testuale. I dati emersi da questo lavoro permettono quindi di verificare come un percorso di questa tipologia possa portare gli allievi, così come gli alieni, a evolvere nelle competenze di scrittura.
