description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Purpose: This in vitro study aims to analyze the effect of combining two ADA-recommended professionally applied 1:1 Chlorhexidine/Thymol varnish ((Cervitec Plus)) and professionally prescribed 5,000 ppm fluoride toothpaste ((PreviDent 5000 Plus)) on reducing lesion depth and increasing mineral content Materials & Methods: Forty-eight dentin specimens were randomly distributed into four treatment groups (n=12 per treatment). Biofilms of Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans were created on the polished surfaces of bovine root dentin specimens (n=12 per treatment). 1:1 Chlorhexidine/Thymol varnish was applied once then the tested 5,000 ppm fluoride toothpaste was applied for 120 seconds twice daily over the course of 2 days. Tested groups were: (1) 1:1 Chlorhexidine/Thymol varnish ((Cervitec Plus)) (C/T). (2) 5,000 ppm F toothpaste ((PreviDent 5000 Plus)) (F). (3) Combination of 1:1 Chlorhexidine/Thymol varnish ((Cervitec Plus)) & 5000 ppm F toothpaste ((PreviDent 5000 Plus)) (C/T+F). (4) Deionized water (DIW) as control group. Biofilms were analyzed for biofilm dry weight. Dentin specimens were analyzed using transversal microradiography (TMR) for mineral content change and lesion depth. PH data was analyzed using two-way ANOVA. Total biofilm dry weight data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA. Integrated mineral loss and lesion depth data was analyzed using two-way ANOVA All pair-wise comparisons from ANOVA analysis were made using Fisher’s Protected Least Significant Differences to control the overall significance level at 5%. Results: Treatment with (C/T+F) resulted in higher mean pH values compared to the control group (DIW) and (F) group. The average pH values of group (C/T) were not statistically different than group (C/T+F). the biomass of the combined S. mutans & C. albicans biofilm among all the groups were not significantly different. (DIW) presented significantly deeper lesions for both surfaces (sound &demineralized) when compared to (F) (P=0.0118), (C/T) (P=0.0002), and (C/T+F) (P

description: Cilia are microtubule-based organelles that are crucial for embryonic development and tissue homeostasis post-development. Cilia are composed of thousands of proteins that must be trafficked from their site of synthesis in the cell body. Active transport of protein cargoes within cilia is mediated by the intraflagellar transport complex (IFT). IFT trafficking within cilia is well studied, but the role of IFT proteins in the cytoplasm is less understood. In my graduate work, I investigated modes of protein trafficking within ciliated cells. In Chapter 1, I introduce the routes by which ciliary proteins can traffic from their site of synthesis to the basal body. In Chapter 2, I describe my work studying the mechanism of IFT trafficking from the cytoplasm to the basal body. Finally, in Chapter 3, I introduce a pipeline to identify protein cargoes of IFT. This work provides new insights into protein trafficking within ciliated cells, which is crucial for ciliary signaling.

description: Fifteen pottery teachers and history teachers co-operated to build three experimental kilns to the pattern of Highgate Wood Kiln 2. The process is described, with timings noted (average 8 hours per kiln). Part 2 describes the throwing of the pots and the firing of the kilns. Even with inexperienced staff, saleable pots were being produced within a fortnight, mostly from the site's natural resources; and a skilled potter with adequate assistance should be able to produce 1000 vessels (5-6 kiln loads) in just over a week.

description: Ecological data are often difficult to analyze, with complexity inherent in their real-world provenance, and with technological advancements and the passage of time resulting in publicly-available ecological datasets that are constantly growing in size. Timely ecological questions and large, complex datasets demand modern, innovative analytical approaches. This research comprises three cases where creative analytical approaches are used to tease out answers to questions about conservation and climate change impacts. The first case attempts to resolve a standing question: which of the two dominant tree species on the Edwards Plateau, TX, is more resistant to drought? Starting with an erratic sap flow dataset, environmental data are used to select the most relevant portions of the time series, and the application of a Bayesian model creates enough statistical power to suggest an answer to the question, helping resolve inconsistencies in prior literature. The second case makes use of herbarium sheet images and a spatially-explicit Bayesian model to explore continental-scale flowering phenology among a subfamily of trees in the New World Tropics, with surprising results. The third case uses environmental raster datasets and spatial optimization software to determine which areas within a region of West Texas are most vulnerable to future oil and gas development from a biodiversity and ecosystem services perspective. Together, these cases show the power that modern and creative analytical techniques can bring when applied to complex data sets.

description: Core-crosslinked micelles have become an important class of materials for biomedical applications. However, there has been little work attempting to quantify the efficiency of the core crosslinking reaction, instead residual polymers are usually removed by dialysis. In this work we have prepared core crosslinked micelles based on poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-block-poly(n-butyl acrylate-co-D,L-homocysteine thiolactone acrylamide). Core crosslinking was examined by the addition of six different di- and triamines and nucleophilic ring-opening of the thiolactone ring. By using size exclusion chromatography (SEC) we were able to quantify the amount of crosslinked micelle and free block copolymer and were able to optimize the crosslinking conditions in terms of temperature, reaction time and crosslinker equivalents to obtain up to 80% core-crosslinked micelles. Subsequently, micelles that were crosslinked with cystamine were degraded in the presence of dithiothreitol (DTT) and resulted in degradation times of 1.5 h to 5 h and depended strongly on the composition of the hydrophobic core as shown by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Cytotoxicity assays of the core-crosslinked micelles and block copolymer precursors were performed with COS7 cells and revealed high cell viabilities up to 0.1 mg mL−1.

description: The English architectural renegade Cedric Price proclaimed himself an anti-architect and his projects anti-buildings. Critical of his field for being too fixed, static, and obsolete, Price the anti-architect designed for the shifting social functions of a building and his anti-buildings were susceptible to change from their users. The Fun Palace of 1964 was a public space where individuals could shape their environment and then be enabled by their new surroundings to self-discovery and transcendence. To direct this complex machine, Price hoped to invoke the abilities of a neutral calculating algorithm that would allow him or any other authority to step away from the scene. Despite these aspirations, such a project is not without its implicit tendencies towards constraint and control. This paper critically examines Price’s ambitions for creating a building without restriction and argues that his ideas of radical indeterminacy and constant change inevitably come with contradictions that prevent the total realization of his ideals. Comparisons are made with Price’s Generator Project and Inter-Action Centre.
Back to the Roots: Exploring the Application of Aristotle's Four Causes Theory in Understanding Carcinogenesis

description: This paper proposes to explore the application of Aristotle's Four Causes theory in understanding the process of carcinogenesis. According to Aristotle's theory, every object has four causes of existence: material, formal, efficient, and final. Using this framework, we analyze the causes and effects of cancer development, including genetic mutations, structural changes in cells, environmental factors, lifestyle choices, and disruptions in normal cellular function. By gaining a deeper understanding of the mechanisms and contributing factors that lead to cancer development, we can develop more effective prevention and treatment strategies for this complex disease.

description: Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is an advanced system of short-term mechanical cardiorespiratory support indicated for patients with life-threatening cardiac and/or respiratory failure. The circuit includes the centrifugal pump, the oxygenator, and a closed circuit of cardiopulmonary bypass tubing. Due to the contact of the blood with the artificial surfaces, the use of anticoagulation is mandatory to avoid the formation of clots, reducing the risk of embolism while at the same time minimizing the inflammatory reaction created by the exposure of the blood to the surface of the circuit. Anticoagulants mainly include heparin and its derivatives that differ in molecular weight as well as novel agents that inhibit thrombin formation. Anticoagulation is monitored through various plasma-based laboratory tests and clinical evaluations. Management of anticoagulation in ECMO requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving intensivists, perfusionists, hematologists, and other healthcare professionals, to ensure optimal patient outcomes. While there have been several small studies that have attempted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of various anticoagulation strategies, institutions currently use a variety of independently developed approaches due to a lack of published accepted guidelines based on solid clinical evidence.

description: We developed an aqueous multiphase system for the synthesis of biobased alkyl amines via palladium-catalysed telomerisation based on the terpene β-myrcene. Ethanol was employed as a harmless co-solvent. With this “green” switchable multiphase solvent system, the recycling of the expensive homogeneous catalyst was successfully enabled by self-separating products at room temperature. The total turnover number (TON) was increased to almost 12 000 over 9 runs, with high selectivities towards the desired amine telomer products between 80 and 93% in each run. Furthermore, various amine nucleophiles were successfully used allowing to produce a wide variety of long-chain unsymmetrical alkyl amines with potential applications as, for instance, surfactant precursors or lubricants. In each case, the products self-separated after reaction from the aqueous multiphase system containing the homogeneous palladium catalyst allowing straightforward isolation by simple decantation. Finally, we proved the successful use of spirits (vodka) as solvents in this sustainable amine synthesis.

description: Background: As the outermost organ of the body, the skin is always suffering from mechanical and chemical damage. Skin grafting is a very important treatment method that can preserve life or increase people's quality of life. The skin of corpses which has been a short time since death, has the same properties as living skin. In this study, the skin grafts of brain-dead bodies were kept alive for 14 to 20 days and their viability was measured using the tetrazolium salt (MTT) method.

Methods: In this research, 12 pieces of skin were taken from the back of corpses and then divided into 12 pieces of 0.5 × 0.5 cm2. Pieces were kept in RPMI and DMEM solutions. The control group was also prepared from the glycerolized tissues of Imam Reza (AS) hospital in the same way. Finally, the viability of fragments was measured by the MTT method on the first, 14th, and 20th days.

Results: In the evaluation, the percentage of cell survival and the average decrease in cell survival were calculated and this average in the DMEM group was 60% on the 14th day compared to the first day and 96% on the 20th day compared to the first day, and in the RPMI group, it was 59% on the 14th day compared to the first day and 96% on the 20th day compared to the first day. The same percentages were reported for the control group, 67% and 97%, respectively.

Conclusion: According to the results of the evaluation of skin bank samples, these two media showed similar performance in tissue preservation. Evaluations indicate that due to the high cost of these media, the tissues are better to be kept in the usual 85% glycerol. On the other hand, it is notable to focus on the clinical evaluation after receiving the transplant.

description: Solvated in propylene carbonate, viscous phenol is studied using dielectric spectroscopy and shear rheology. In addition, several oxygen-17 and deuteron nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques are applied to specifically isotope labeled equimolar mixtures. Quantum chemical calculations are used to check the electrical field gradient at phenol's oxygen site. The chosen combination of NMR methods facilitates the selective examination of potentially hydrogen-bond related contributions as well as those dominated by the structural relaxation. Taken together the present results for phenol in equimolar mixtures with the van der Waals liquid propylene carbonate provide evidence for the existence of a very weak Debye-like process that originates from ringlike supramolecular associates.

description: Histopathological tumor markers are a substance found in tissue, blood, bone marrow, or other body fluids that may be a sign of cancer or certain benign (non cancer) conditions. Many tumor markers are proteins made by both normal cells and cancer cells, but they are made in higher amounts by cancer cells. Genetic changes in tumor tissue, such as gene mutations, patterns of gene expression, and other changes in tumor DNA or RNA, are also being used as tumor markers. A tumor marker may be used with other tests to help diagnose cancer. It may also be used to help plan treatment, give a likely prognosis, and find out how well treatment is working or if cancer has come back.

description: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized as a multifocal inflammatory disorder of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and is the most common cause of neurological disability in young adults worldwide. The etiopathogenesis of the disease is composed of gene and epigenetic mechanisms, viral infections, and other factors such as obesity and smoking. The pathophysiology is dominated by the presence of large confluent demyelinating lesions in the white matter of the CNS, and the diagnosis of the disease is the result of a combination of imaging and clinical features. As far as the available Disease Modifying Therapies (DMTs) are concerned, however, it is true that there are patients who do not have a reduction of inflammatory processes or are limited by the various side effects. Adding to the landscape of disease management is stem cell therapy, which involves transplanting patients with various types of stem cells, increasing the number of treatment options. The predominant stem cells that have been tested are mesenchymal stem cells, but other types of stem cells have also been studied, such as autologous hematopoietic stem cells, neural stem cells, human embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells. In this review, Pubmed, ScienceDirect and Scopus databases were searched and the results of clinical trials from the last five years involving treatment with: a) umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, b) autologous hematopoietic stem cells, c) autologous -and non-autologous- mesenchymal stem cells and d) neural progenitor stem cells were summarized. Finally, clinical studies were collected: a) to evaluate NfL and CXCL13 levels in CSF after treatment with MSCs, b) to evaluate neurophysiological effects of TMS after treatment with aMSCs, c) to evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of biomarkers of repeated intra-abdominal administration of MSC-NTF cells, and d) the results of the STEMS study.

description: This work is devoted to the development of a machine learning algorithm that classifies red blood cells according to the forms they take in a microfluidic device. Purpose of the work: to develop a machine learning algorithm that can classify red blood cells according to their geometric shape. As a result of the work done, a convolutional neural network was developed and trained to classify red blood cells according to the forms observed in a microfluidic device with sensitivity 0,92 and specificity 0,97. The proposed practical application of the developed software showed not only the influence of the used anticancer drugs (paclitaxel, docetaxel) on the deformability of erythrocytes, but also made it possible to observe their individual response to these drugs.

description: The uptake of green infrastructure is challenged by a lack of access to financing. Studies have investigated individuals’ economic valuation of green infrastructure but understanding public perceptions of a range of potential funding mechanisms is a fundamental step in developing funding measures. Using data collected from a sample of residents in the Oxford–Cambridge Arc, England, this study addresses a gap in our understanding of public perceptions of green infrastructure funding by investigating support for several funding mechanisms, and the extent to which support is associated with attitudinal, contextual and personal capability variables. Results indicate that respondents prefer the funding of small and large-scale infrastructure to be covered by developers, with most opposition being levelled at those involving additional financial obligations from citizens. Altruistic-biospheric values, pro-environmental behaviour and trust in the government significantly affected support. These findings provide valuable insight to policymakers attempting to introduce sustainable green infrastructure funding streams.
Actor-driven institutional change in forest communities: insights from the Bakossi Landscape of Cameroon

description: The institutions-cum-forest use dynamics literature is growing, albeit marred by scanty evidence on actor roles in shaping the process in sub-Saharan Africa. Cameroon represents a useful “laboratory” to explore such actor-driven change processes. Recent studies have reported the change process linked to a colonial hangover in parts of Cameroon that came under French influence, suggesting the need for fresh evidence to uncover such change processes in parts of the country which came under British influence. Using the Bakossi Landscape as a case, this article (i) traces the pathways of forest-linked institutional change, (ii) estimates the role of actor groups in shaping forest-linked institutional change, and (iii) explores the determinants of forest-linked institutional change in the Bakossi Landscape. A representative sample of 116 households in 3 selected communities was performed. This was complemented by focus group discussions (n = 6) and key informant interviews (n = 10). Descriptive statistics were used to establish forest-linked institutional change, while the ordinary least square was employed to estimate the effect of actor groups and other determinants on forest-linked institutional change. The results lead us to the following conclusions: First, both forest-linked institutional structures and processes witnessed changes over the years. Second, raising the intensity of actor group processes (in-migrants, local elites, traditional leadership, timber dealership and NTFP traders) significantly decreases changes in forest-linked traditional rules, while migration, state officials and the church significantly increase changes in forest-linked institutional structure. Finally, an increase in the composite index of process-mix traditional leadership and NTFP traders decreases changes in forest-linked institutional structures. Future studies should uncover gender dimensions of changes in forest-based institutions, as well as the role of conflict actors in engendering institutional change.

description: This study aims to examine the impact of energy poverty on the aggregate and disaggregate material footprint components such as biomass, fossil fuel, metal ores and non-metallic minerals while considering the economic growth and tourism development during 2000–2014 for the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). By applying econometric tools, the study confirms a positive and significant impact of energy poverty on aggregate material footprint and its components. The same finding has been reached for tourism development. Moreover, this study finds a U-shaped Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) for all indicators used for material footprints. Based on the findings, this study proposes a set of policies for energy poverty alleviation to attain a sustainable environment and inclusive economic growth in the BRICS region.
TAILOR-MADE POLYMERS: AN ADDITIONAL DEGREE OF FREEDOM IN THE TUNING OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES IN TISSUE MODELING
Creators: name: Ciardelli, Gianluca
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Polymers have recently attracted widespread interest in the biomedical field. The design and selection of the proper polymer for each application strongly depend on material capability to fulfill specific demands, concerning their manufacturing as well as their physico-chemical and biological properties. In this scenario, the possibility to finely tailor polymer properties at different length-scales holds a great promise, opening the way towards the possibility to custom-design and process the best polymer for each envisaged application. For instance, the design of polymeric blends or composites allows a fine tuning of material properties through a proper selection of the constituents and their weight ratio. Another possibility relies in the synthesis of multiblock copolymers, that allows the ad-hoc design of the optimal polymer for each specific application. In this context, a segment of the research activities conducted in my group is devoted to the ad-hoc synthesis of poly(urethane)s (PUs) as constituent biomaterials of tissue engineering (TE) scaffolds and bioengineered tissue/organ models.

description: This paper investigates a pathway for transforming small and medium enterprise-based industrial districts to eco-industrial development in newly industrialised countries. Our framework conceptualises the eco-transformation of industrial districts as a reassembling process of local-regional industrial networks toward sustainability from an ‘arenas of development’ perspective, highlighting how an emerging eco-transformation arena may challenge existing unsustainable industrial networks. We employ a case-study method to illuminate how such an eco-transformation arena has emerged in Shunde District in Southern China and evolved in the dimensions of continuity, scale and depth of transformation. The results show the pathway is driven by national policy intervention and local government responses. The subsequent development is likely to shift into a fluid, non-linear process unfolded through the continuing interaction of agenda setting, actors and their relationships, strategies and actions performed, translation projects and spaces of negotiation (i.e. the arena’s five components) while being influenced by context and place-specificity.

description: We conducted this qualitative study to explore the life recovery experiences of farmers in one of the worst flood-hit districts of Pakistan. Data were gathered in August 2020, ten years after the disastrous 2010 floods, which hit a significant population of the country. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions were conducted to document the subjective evaluation of the study participants with regard to restoration and readjustment of routine social life, work and livelihoods. Specifically, we asked the farmers to share their life recovery experiences by recalling the factors that helped and hindered their recovery process. Thematic analysis uncovered that personal resilience, belief system, bonding social capital, formal aid and previous flood experience were the major factors that contributed positively to the farmers’ life recovery. Political patronization and perceived unfairness in distribution of disaster aid were major factors that hindered the pace of their life recovery. In general, the findings of the study indicate that positive life recovery feelings of flood affected farmers are associated with resilience/vulnerabilities at individual and community level. Flood affected famers’ life recovery experiences are shaped by trade-offs between social vulnerabilities and resilience.
