description: The article approaches the subject of transitional care, presenting the first phase of a project dedicated to teenagers with rare diseases. Research began in March of 2012 at the Regina Margherita Children’s Hospital of Turin. The project, whose objective is to compensate for the lack of attention of the Italian Health Care System to the needs of adolescent patients with chronic or rare diseases, started with a qualitative survey whose aim was to explore the needs and expectations of key stakeholders (health professionals, patients and parents). The results suggest the need to promote a change in cultural outlook which will prepare doctors, patients and their family members to the transition from pediatric to adult services. Adolescents should be considered as persons who are neither children, grownups nor small adults, but as persons who require specific, integrated responses provided by different professionals.

Year: 2016

description: An examination of Norbert Elias as “classical sociologist” or “one of the world’s leading social thinkers” means thinking about three elements of his academic path: 1) the time he needed to get his first academic post in Britain; 2)the constitution of a long-term and extended group of followers in Leicester; 3) the delay in translating his main works in English. This paper will concentrate on the first point, intending to identify the academic and para-academic webs Norbert Elias relied on to gain support for his many applications to posts as Staff Tutor and Lecturer before he was appointed in Leicester in 1954.

Quantum Estimation via Sequential Measurements

description: The problem of estimating a parameter of a quantum system through a series of measurements performed sequentially on a quantum probe is analyzed in the general setting where the underlying statistics is explicitly non-i.i.d. We present a generalization of the central limit theorem in the present context, which under fairly general assumptions shows that as the number $N$ of measurement data increases the probability distribution of functionals of the data (e.g., the average of the data) through which the target parameter is estimated becomes asymptotically normal and independent of the initial state of the probe. At variance with the previous studies [M. Guţă, Phys. Rev. A 83, 062324 (2011); M. van Horssen and M. Guţă, J. Math. Phys. 56, 022109 (2015)] we take a diagrammatic approach, which allows one to compute not only the leading orders in $N$ of the moments of the average of the data but also those of the correlations among subsequent measurement outcomes. In particular our analysis points out that the latter, which are not available in usual i.i.d. data, can be exploited in order to improve the accuracy of the parameter estimation. An explicit application of our scheme is discussed by studying how the temperature of a thermal reservoir can be estimated via sequential measurements on a quantum probe in contact with the reservoir.

Direct oral anticoagulant drug level testing in clinical practice: A single institution experience

description: We performed a review of all direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) levels – ecarin times for dabigatran and anti-Xa levels for rivaroxaban and apixaban – ordered at our institution with the purpose of evaluating DOAC levels from “real-world” (non-clinical trial) patients taking DOACs long-term, in order to assess levels obtained, reasons for checking levels, and actions taken based on the testing result. A total of 28 patients had 48 levels sent over a 36-month period. The majority of outpatient levels were within or close to the range of published values. The setting in which levels were sent influenced how results affected management decisions: in the outpatient setting, the majority of levels served to reassure clinicians that DOAC levels were within expected ranges resulting in continuation of chosen management, whereas in the inpatient setting, DOAC levels were used most frequently to detect DOAC presence in urgent clinical situations and influenced clinical decision-making in the peri-procedural and pre-operative periods. Our results demonstrate that while testing may be useful if immediately available in urgent clinical situations where assessment of drug presence is needed, DOAC level monitoring is infrequently used overall, and the lack of use combined with the paucity of available evidence to guide clinical decision-making based on the results suggests there is little urgency to make the tests widely available for routine use outside of acute settings in the emergency department and urgent surgical setting.
Focusing by blocking: repeatedly generating central density peaks in self-propelled particle systems by exploiting diffusive processes

description: Over the past few years the displacement statistics of self-propelled particles has been intensely studied, revealing their long-time diffusive behavior. Here, we demonstrate that a concerted combination of boundary conditions and switching on and off the self-propelling drive can generate and afterwards arbitrarily often restore a non-stationary centered peak in their spatial distribution. This corresponds to a partial reversibility of their statistical behavior, in opposition to the above-mentioned long-time diffusive nature. Interestingly, it is a diffusive process that mediates and makes possible this procedure. It should be straightforward to verify our predictions in a real experimental system.

description: A metal-organic framework MIL-101(HPW) was synthesized by hydrothermal reaction, and phosphomolybdic acid (HPMo) was synthesized by its precursor solution. Then (Pd + Pt)/HPMo/MIL-101(HPW) with different wt% were prepared by the impregnation method. The synthesized samples were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, NH3-TPD, N2 adsorption, FESEM, and TGA, and their performances were investigated in n-hexane isomerization. Under the optimized operating conditions (temperature of 180 °C, H2/nC6 molar ratio of 2, and WHSV of 3 h−1), the appropriate yield for the nC6 isomerization was provided. The (0.2%Pd + 0.3%Pt)/50%HPMo/MIL-101(HPW) sample showed a lifetime of 720 min with 92.5% iC6 selectivity and 75.3% nC6 conversion. Kinetic modeling of the n-hexane isomerization reaction was also performed, in which the classical bifunctional mechanism was used to calculate the kinetic parameters. The validity of the bifunctional behavior was proved by the high value of the statistical correlation coefficient of this model. The apparent activation energy of this mechanism was calculated at 42.5 kJ mol−1.
Transversality and Lipschitz-Fredholm maps

description: We study transversality for Lipschitz-Fredholm maps in the context of bounded Fréchet manifolds. We show that the set of all Lipschitz-Fredholm maps of a fixed index between Fréchet spaces has the transverse stability property. We give a straightforward extension of the Smale transversality theorem by using the generalized Sard's theorem for this category of manifolds. We also provide an answer to the well known problem concerning the existence of a submanifold structure on the preimage of a transversal submanifold.

Why the Italian Mezzogiorno did not Achieve a Sustainable Growth: Social Capital and Political Constraints
Creators: name: Trigilia, Carlo
Publisher: name: Cambio. Rivista sulle Trasformazioni Sociali
Year: 2016

description: This article analyses the reasons for the persisting economic and social backwardness of the Italian Mezzogiorno. The South of Italy, a large and densely populated region, has lagged behind the rest of the country over the last 60 years, despite considerable investments in development aid. Understanding the reasons for this failure is particularly important not only for the future of Italy citizens but also for regional development policies in Europe. Current explanations focused on either an insufficiency of economic aid from the central government or a lack of social capital in the Southern regions. Both of them are weak in a number of respects. The insufficient aid thesis overlooks the large absolute scale of net transfers form the state to the South (especially in terms of spending on public services). The social capital thesis points out the weaker endowment of civicness in the Mezzogiorno, but overlooks the role of political institutions that hinder economic development and the growth of civic culture. The major argument of this article is that the problem of the South should be explained primarily through reference to the dynamics of the political system (both local and national). The prevalence of clientelism in the politics of the South helps explain the inefficiency of aid policy, and also provides a more convincing explanation for the lack of social capital. Clientelism in local politics is supported and even encouraged at the national level because of the importance of the Mezzogiorno in national electoral politics.

description: We carry out a systematic study of entanglement entropy in nonrelativistic conformal field theories via holographic techniques. After a discussion of recent results concerning Galilean conformal field theories, we deduce a novel expression for the entanglement entropy of (1+1)-dimensional Lifshitz field theories --- this is done both at zero and finite temperature. Based on these results, we pose a conjecture for the anomaly coefficient of a Lifshitz field theory dual to new massive gravity. It is found that the Lifshitz entanglement entropy at finite temperature displays a striking similarity with that corresponding to a flat space cosmology in three dimensions. We claim that this structure is an inherent feature of the entanglement entropy for nonrelativistic conformal field theories. We finish by exploring the behavior of the mutual information for such theories.

description: This article examines the possibilities for immigrants in Spain to converge with natives around certain key aspects of work: such as stability, salaries, career advancement. The concept of the work schedule becomes crucial to seeing the extent to which immigrants have made progress or not in the process of integration and mobility from their entry into the labor market until the time the study was completed, 2007. Possible answers to this question are constructed by differentiating various groups of immigrants by country of origin, that is according to structural or individual features, making it possible to understand why some tend to converge and others do not. The itinerary gives us a dynamic picture of the phenomena, and suggests the diversification of an artificial homogeneity of immigrant groups (also, of course, of the indigenous groups) to break down widespread stereotypes.

description: The global supply of unfractionated heparin (UFH) and all commercially available low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) remain dependent on animal sources, such as porcine intestine or bovine lung. Recent experience has shown that contamination of the supply chain (with over-sulfated chondroitin sulfates) can result in lethal toxicity. Fondaparinux is currently the only commercially available synthetic analogue of heparin. We recently described a new class of chemoenzymatically synthesized heparin analogues. One of these compounds (S12-mer) is a dodecasaccharide consisting of an antithrombin-binding moiety with repeating units of IdoA2S-GlcNS6S and two 3-O-sulfate groups that confer the ability to bind protamine.

description: In the present work, we studied the effect of increasing different emulsifiers concentration on the size distribution of a simple emulsion (O/W) and double emulsion (W/OW). In one hand, we observed that increasing polycaprolactone (PCL) concentration in the O/W emulsion, the size of the droplets decreased. On the other hand, increasing the concentration of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), pluronic f68 or bovine serum albumin (BSA) as second emulsion stabilizers of the “W/O/W” emulsion led to micrometer size droplets in all cases up to 7 μm. Also, when the concentration of pluronic f68 increased from 1.5% w/v to 6.0% w/v the size distribution of the double emulsion turned from polydisperse to monodisperse. We conclude that the chemical structure of pluronic provide a more stabilizing effect to the emulsion than PVA or BSA. Finally, we studied the inner morphology of the “W/O/W” by Focused Ion Beam technique combined with Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIB-SEM) and confirmed the development of a double emulsion. These results are promising for cosmetics of pharmaceutical applications because it is important to obtain a monodisperse size distribution of the emulsion and a detailed characterization of inner morphology of the microspheres.
title: Investigation into [4+6] porous organic cages and their use in porous liquids
Creators: name: Kearsey, Rachel
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2021

description: The field of porous liquids is relatively new compared to other porous materials but is rapidly developing and gaining interest. There is a diverse range of strategies in the literature to achieve porosity in the liquid state, including using porous organic cages as either soluble pores or neat liquid hosts. However, there are not enough examples to draw a comparison, so little is known about the design and limitations associated with these systems. In this thesis, we show how high-throughput automation can be applied to streamline discovery and expand the area of porous liquids with two different approaches. Firstly, the focus was on improving current systems and finding highly soluble porous organic cages in cavity-excluded solvents. This resulted in a library of porous liquids with increased cavity concentrations that allowed the exploration into how changing the solvent and cage components effects overall properties, such as gas uptake and viscosity. One problem associated with these soluble cages was the use of solvents with associated vapour pressure, which limits their study using gas sorption methods. Therefore, a second strategy was devised to explore low melting cage salts with large cavity-excluded anions. A high-throughput screen was developed that generated a small cage salt library with varying cages and counterions. The thermal behaviour of these systems was studied to determine the effect of changing these components on melting. Overall, the work carried out in this thesis developed high-throughput workflows that can be applied to larger screens and presented a series of design considerations for future systems.

Il richiamo della modernità: sviluppi teorici sull'attuale condizione e definizione della società contemporanea in Bruno Latour
Creators: name: Silvestri, Federico
Publisher: name: Cambio. Rivista sulle Trasformazioni Sociali
Year: 2016

description: The study of modern change is a typical sociological theme. The classical conceptualizations of modernity have forged an image of modern society based on a double fracture: first, a time division that has divided modern society from pre-modern cultures; and second, a space division has divided the modern Westerners by other contemporary not-Western cultures, all defined premodern. This perspective was founded on a uniform concept of modernity and modern society. The modernization intended as linear and irreversible way, which would have gone into the cultures to the modern Western. The contemporary sociological debate was characterized by the critical reviews made to the classical theory of modernity. The important, often overlooked, contribution proffered by Bruno Latour might stimulate further thinking and offer new tools to re-conceptualize the contemporary. For Latour, in fact, modernity is an “invention” made by the Western mind to distinguish from other forms of knowledge. So, given the current crisis of modern knowledge (science), follows the “recall” of the concept of modernity.

Laser-induced Kondo effect in ultracold alkaline-earth fermions

description: We demonstrate that laser excitations can coherently induce a novel Kondo effect in ultracold atoms in optical lattices. Using a model of alkaline-earth fermions with two orbitals, it is shown that the optically coupled two internal states are dynamically entangled to form the Kondo-singlet state, overcoming the heating effect due to the irradiation. Furthermore, a lack of SU($N$) symmetry in the optical coupling provides a peculiar feature in the Kondo effect, which results in spin-selective renormalization of effective masses. We also discuss effects of interorbital exchange interactions, and reveal that they induce novel crossover or reentrant behavior of the Kondo effect owing to control of the coupling anisotropy. The laser-induced Kondo effect is highly controllable by tuning the laser strength and the frequency, and thus offers a versatile platform to study the Kondo physics using ultracold atoms.

description: ALMA observations show a non-detection of carbon monoxide around the four most luminous asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae. Stellar evolution models and star counts show that the mass-loss rates from these stars should be ~1.2-3.5 x 10^-7 solar masses per year. We would naively expect such stars to be detectable at this distance (4.5 kpc). By modelling the ultraviolet radiation field from post-AGB stars and white dwarfs in 47 Tuc, we conclude CO should be dissociated abnormally close to the stars. We estimate that the CO envelopes will be truncated at a few hundred stellar radii from their host stars and that the line intensities are about two orders of magnitude below our current detection limits. The truncation of CO envelopes should be important for AGB stars in dense clusters. Observing the CO (3-2) and higher transitions and targeting stars far from the centres of clusters should result in the detections needed to measure the outflow velocities from these stars.

description: Bone infection, also called osteomyelitis, can result when bacteria invade a bone. Treatment of osteomyelitis usually requires surgical debridement and prolonged antimicrobial therapy. The rising incidence of infection with multidrug-resistant bacteria, in particular methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), however, limits the antimicrobial treatment options available. Silver is well known for its antimicrobial properties and is highly toxic to a wide range of microorganisms. We previously reported our development of biocompatible, biodegradable, nanofibrous scaffolds that released silver ions in a controlled manner. The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of these scaffolds in treating or preventing osteomyelitis. To achieve this objective, antimicrobial efficacy was determined using a 3D coculture system of human adipose-derived stem cells (hASC) and MRSA. Human ASC were seeded on the scaffolds and induced to undergo osteogenic differentiation in both the absence and presence of MRSA. Our results indicated that the silver ion-releasing scaffolds not only inhibited biofilm formation, but also supported osteogenesis of hASC. Our findings suggest that these biocompatible, degradable, silver ion-releasing scaffolds can be used at an infection site to treat osteomyelitis and/or to coat bone implants as a preventative measure against infection postsurgery.
La capacità di aspirare. Immagini di futuro di figli e figlie di migranti a Reggio Calabria

description: The article discusses the second-generation immigrant’s capacity to aspire in Postcolonial Italy, starting from a research which took place in Reggio Calabria. After defining some key concept such as “Postcolonial Italy” and “capacity to aspire”, I present the main hypothesis, which consist in considering the capacity to aspire as a way of resistance to Italian colonial unconsciousness. The qualitative methodology applied to the research involved carrying out some in-depth interviews. Therefore, in the last paragraphs the empirical data are presented by quoting some of the interview extracts. The main issues concern: second-generation immigrants’ approach toward their future as young people; their specific life experiences as people with foreign origins; the role played by the southern context in their future projects. This exploratory research suggests that capacity to aspire is a mode of agency, because who aspires to something is also someone who wants to change his/her current condition. This behaviour seems to be quite common among the people interviewed.

description: Layering a regenerative polymer scaffold on the surface of the heart, termed as a cardiac patch, has been proven to be effective in preserving cardiac function after myocardial infarction (MI). However, the placement of such a patch on the heart usually needs open-chest surgery, which is traumatic, therefore prevents the translation of this strategy into the clinic. We sought to device a way to apply a cardiac patch by spray painting in situ polymerizable biomaterials onto the heart with a minimally invasive procedure. To prove the concept, we used platelet fibrin gel as the “paint” material in a mouse model of MI. The use of the spraying system allowed for placement of a uniform cardiac patch on the heart in a mini-invasive manner without the need for sutures or glue. The spray treatment promoted cardiac repair and attenuated cardiac dysfunction after MI.

description: Laser spectroscopy of cold and trapped molecular ions is a powerful tool for fundamental physics, including the determination of fundamental constants, the laboratory test for their possible variation, and the search for a possible electric dipole moment of the electron. Optical clocks based on molecular ions sensitive to some of these effects are expected to achieve uncertainties approaching the $10^{-18}$ level. While the complexity of molecular structure facilitates these applications, the absence of cycling transitions poses a challenge for direct laser cooling, quantum state control, and detection. Previously employed state detection techniques based on photo-dissociation or chemical reactions are destructive and therefore inefficient. Here we experimentally demonstrate non-destructive state detection of a single trapped molecular ion through its strong Coulomb coupling to a well-controlled co-trapped atomic ion. An algorithm based on a state-dependent optical dipole force(ODF) changes the internal state of the atom conditioned on the internal state of the molecule. We show that individual states in the molecule can be distinguished by their coupling strength to the ODF and observe black-body radiation-induced quantum jumps between rotational states. Using the detuning dependence of the state detection signal, we implement a variant of quantum logic spectroscopy and improve upon a previous measurement of the $\mathrm{X}^1Σ^+(J=1)\rightarrow\mathrm{A}^1Σ^+(J=0)$ transition in MgH, finding a frequency of 1067.74752(53)THz. We estimate that non-destructive state detection with near 100% efficiency could take less than 10 ms. The technique we demonstrate is applicable to a wide range of molecular ions, enabling further applications in state-controlled quantum chemistry and spectroscopic investigations of molecules serving as probes for interstellar clouds.
title: Proteomic study of the CD40 stimulation-induced pro-survival effect on chronic lymphocytic leukaemia cells

description: The interactions between chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) cells and the CLL microenvironment play an important role in the disease progression and development of resistance to therapies. CD40 stimulation of CLL cells by T cells represents a major interaction in vivo, contributing to the survival and proliferation of CLL cells. However, the molecular mechanisms mediating these effects of CD40 stimulation are not fully understood. Through the proteomics approach, this project aimed to identify molecules/pathways associated with the pro-survival effect of CD40 stimulation by studying the global changes in protein expression in CD40 stimulated CLL cells. Herein, it was independently confirmed that CD40 stimulation protected CLL cells from spontaneous and drug-induced cell death. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic study identified 552 proteins that were differentially expressed in the CD40 stimulated CLL cells in comparison with their unstimulated counterparts. Bioinformatics analysis showed that these differentially expressed proteins were involved in a variety of biological processes. The functional enrichment analysis of the significantly up-regulated proteins identified the ‘cell-cell adhesions’ at the top of a list of the most enriched functional clusters. This cluster included 38 differentially expressed proteins, 17 of them with over 2-fold changes in protein expression. Among the proteins with over 2-fold changes in expression was the ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX3X. The preliminary functional study suggested that DDX3X potentially plays a role in the CD40 stimulation-mediated survival of CLL cells. Taken together, these data indicated that CD40 stimulation produced the pro-survival effect by enhancing the cell adhesion properties of CLL cells. Therefore, the findings from this study have provided a reasonable foundation for future studies to investigate the molecular mechanisms responsible for the CD40 stimulation-mediated survival of CLL cells, which could help identify potential targets for therapeutic intervention to overcome the CD40 stimulation-induced drug resistance in CLL.

description: We show that for a hypoelliptic Dirichlet form operator A on a stratified complex Lie group, if the logarithmic Sobolev inequality holds, then a holomorphic projection of A is strongly hypercontractive in the sense of Janson. This extends previous results of Gross to a setting in which the operator A is not holomorphic.

description: This paper explores the impact of place loss due to the loss of a beach from coastal erosion in the community of Courtown, Co. Wexford, Ireland. Using in-depth walking interviews and photo-elicitation, we investigate (i) the experiences and emotional challenges of place loss; (ii) the impacts of place loss and adaptive actions on people–place relationships and; (iii) how individuals re-imagine the future of place following loss. We find that place loss results in emotional responses consistent with solastalgia for many interviewees. Adaptation actions in the form of installation of rock armour to deal with coastal erosion were seen by many as undesirable and amplified the sense of loss experienced. For most, the lack of community engagement in decision-making has created a sense of powerlessness and anxiety around the future of place. Moreover, this sense of powerlessness is amplified for many by concurrent but unrelated policies that incentivised rapid residential development in the area, contributing to changing place identity and community cohesion. Our findings highlight that impacts of environmental change and adaptation on individuals, while significant on their own, unfold within and can be amplified by the context of on-going development issues and decision-making processes. Despite their sense of powerlessness, there is evidence that residents see rich opportunities to re-imagine place if decision-makers can create opportunities to incorporate the voice of local communities.

description: We present a photometric and spectroscopic study of the polar ring galaxy A0136-0801 in order to constrain its formation history. Near-Infrared (NIR) and optical imaging data are used to extract surface brightness and color profiles of the host galaxy and the wide polar structure in A0136-0801. The host galaxy dominates the light emission in all bands; the polar structure is more luminous in the optical bands and is three times more extended than the main spheroid. The average stellar population in the spheroid is redder than in the polar structure and we use their (B-K) vs. (J-K) colors to constraint the ages of these populations using stellar population synthesis models. The inferred ages are 3-5 Gyrs for the spheroid and 1-3 Gyrs for the polar structure. We then use long slit spectra along the major axis of the polar structure to derive the emission line ratios and constrain the oxygen abundance, metallicity and star formation rate in this component. We find 12+log(O/H) = 8.33 +- 0.43 and Z ~ 0.32 Zsun, using emission line ratios. These values are used, together with the ratio of the baryonic masses of the host galaxy and polar structure, to constraint the possible models for the formation scenario. We conclude that the tidal accretion of gas from a gas rich donor or the disruption of a gas-rich satellite are formation mechanisms that may lead to systems with physical parameters in agreement with those measured for A0136-0801.

Il lavoro dell'artista come professione

description: Though in a postmodern phase like the current it still has meaning to argue on the artist’s work and, in particular, if such work has to be considered a profession bound to a career. From a sociological point of view a profession as such might be considered a self-employed activity with a relatively open recruiting modality because it is not controlled. The constitutive ability of the artist’s work is, indeed, neither controlled nor legally acknowledged, even though the artist’s capacity is the demonstration of his belonging to the world of art. In that work remains, therefore, an impossibility of unitary or shared identification in relation to the professionalism which remains linked to the auto-definition and/or the acknowledgement of the market. In this article are presented the results of some researches which point out how the artist considers himself and how his public considers him.
