NON-TARIFF MEASURES AND TRADE FLOWS: THE CASE OF EU AGRI-FOOD STANDARDS
Creators: name: LUARASI, MARSELA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2014

description: Trade may increase or decrease by imposing food standards. Thus there is not yet a clear trend whether the standards promote or hinder trade. From political point of view, a standard is considered as trade protectionist tool, which in agricultural trade takes the form of the so-called non-tariff measure (NTMs) including the Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs), which is in the focus of this research work. The objective of this work is to quantify the protectionism of MRLs standards relative to the stringency of international standards of Codex Alimentarius and to give insights on the effects of European MRL standards on trade versus US and other countries. The empirical approach of gravity model is used to explain international trade flows. For the quantification of the protectionism we implement the aggregation index of NTMs established by Li and Beghin (2014). An importer?s MRL is defined as protectionist when the stringency of MRL standards exceeds the levels of Codex?s MRL. In our research work, the country-level results show that Europe has more protectionist food standards, compared to US.

Year: 2015

description: Il diritto dell?Unione europea possiede oggi un?influenza sempre pi� rilevante sul diritto penale degli Stati membri. A partire dall?entrata in vigore del Trattato di Lisbona, tale influenza coinvolge espressamente anche le scelte di criminalizzazione, potendo l?Unione operare direttamente la decisione circa l?an e in parte anche il quantum di pena. Le istituzioni dell?Unione hanno gi� iniziato ad adottare direttive in materia penale impiegando quale base giuridica l?art. 83 TFUE, e ci si pu� ragionevolmente attendere che tale prassi si consolidi e aumenti il numero degli atti adottati, andando cos� a costituire un corpus normativo di crescente rilevanza per gli ordinamenti nazionali e in ultima analisi per i singoli individui. La tesi ripercorre le pi� importanti tappe che hanno condotto all?attuale sviluppo della competenza penale europea, soffermandosi principalmente sul quadro istituzionale introdotto dal Trattato di Lisbona (capitolo primo). Successivamente fornisce un sintetico riepilogo degli strumenti istituzionali e normativi di maggiore rilievo nel settore considerato e delle loro pi� rilevanti caratteristiche (capitolo secondo), passando poi ad effettuare una disamina dei principali atti sino ad oggi adottati, prima nel vigore del terzo pilastro e poi sotto la base giuridica fornita dal Trattato di Lisbona (capitolo terzo). Infine, prova a verificare la presenza, i caratteri e la giustiziabilit� dei fondamentali principi della legislazione penale nell?ordinamento dell?Unione europea, alla luce della normazione vigente e della giurisprudenza della Corte di giustizia (capitolo quarto), per poi tentare di affermare la sussistenza di basi fondative per lo sviluppo di una vera e propria politica penale europea.

Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2015

description: Prose theatre in Lombardy is the area investigated in this research. The first chapter is focused on the legislation both nationally and in this region and to point out the changes that the new law will bring.

In order to understand how the theatrical proposal is related to this territory and also to remember which subjects are involved, there's a map of theatres and of companies that act in each province. Particular attention is then given to the past and especially to events that took place in Milan which are considered crucial for the affirmation of direction in Italy (as experienced by Enzo Ferrieri also Giorgio Strehler, Paolo Grassi, Luchino Visconti, Lilla Brignone, Remigio Paone).

The second chapter is a study of the archives that theatres in Lombardy have produced so that it can be understood how they relate to the past and what these papers mean for the history of the theatre.
The (Missing) link between remittances and local development. Evidence from Morocco

description: Though remittances represent a very important contribution to Morocco’s balance of payment, their role at the microeconomic level is still little explored.The article presents original empirical material collected during a field study carried out by the author in two rural provinces.Some important conclusions can be drawn on the microeconomic impact of remittances on local development and qualitative indications on the patterns of utilization of remittances and of the existing institutional framework that stimulates their use can be identified. This has enabled the author to pinpoint the existing bottlenecks and some areas of policy intervention to stimulate their productive use and increase their accelerating capacity. The relevance of these indications for the Euro-Mediterranean partnership’s co-development objectives is also highlighted.

RESEARCH METHODS IN SPORTS AND CLINICAL BIOMECHANICS
Creators: name: ZAGO, MATTEO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2016

description: Within sports and health sciences, the biomechanical study of human movement has many purposes, including rehabilitation, injury prevention and performance analysis. While in clinical biomechanics the main goal is to determine if a motion is physiological or if it differs from normal values, in the sports context the aim is finding the movement determinants that allows an athlete to perform at the highest possible level.
Research in movement analysis is nowadays supported by multi-camera stereophotogrammetric systems, used to reconstruct three-dimensional body landmarks coordinates from video images. These allow the collection of quantitative information about the mechanics of the musculo-skeletal system during the execution of a motor task. In particular, the following quantities will be considered: the kinematics of the whole-body centre of mass (CoM); the relative movement between adjacent bones (joint kinematics); body segment energy variation and muscular work.
 The current thesis contains the main experimental projects of my doctoral research activity. Many performance analyses were based on the estimation of the kinematics of the body CoM, whose reliability was demonstrated with a reduced marker set, which is desirable when dealing with complex movements. Inspecting CoM kinematics gives the researcher a complete view of the athletes? movements, with a insight on balance and motor control: we found that expert karateka, who are supposed to possess superior balance abilities, perform the same fighting sequence with a lower CoM as compared with amateur practitioners. We also found that the strategy adopted by young soccer players to be faster in a slalom dribbling task consists in the optimization of CoM path throughout the course, i.e. in a more sophisticated motor control.
The inspection of joint kinematics allows to assess the functioning of kinetic chains, i.e. proximal-to-distal linkage between segments, and to understand the phases of complex multi-segmental techniques: in soccer pass-kick we identified laterality-driven differences between the preferred and non-preferred side. Kinematic curves, as well as gait cycle parameters like step width, length or cadence, helped in identifying locomotion issues in a patient wearing a knee endoprosthesis.
An emerging and stimulating challenge in motion analysis is the extraction of distinct features from the large amount of available kinematic data: two are symmetry and variability. Symmetry indexes were applied to assess the effects of a physiotherapy intervention on a prosthetic patient, while a novel repeatability index was developed for mandibular joint motion. Additionally, multivariate statistical techniques like the Principal Components Analysis allowed for the identification of abnormal gait patterns in urologic patients, as well as for the extraction of fundamental motor modules from complex sports skill in soccer and elite karate athletes.

The Transnational Kingdom Migration, Economic Development and Social Change in Morocco
Creators: name: Iskander, Natasha
Publisher: name: Critique économique
Year: 2013

description: One out of ten Moroccans live beyond the Kingdom’s borders,and the money they send home to their families each year represents over 10 percent of the nation’s GDP,Morocco’s largest source of income by far.The government of Morocco has elaborated a series of policies to tie Moroccan emigrants into the national economy and political culture, some of which are strikingly innovative.These policies are the focus of my paper,with special attention directed to policies that build a link between migration and local economic development. In my paper, I engage in a kind of institutional archeology : I reconstruct the largely undocumented history of these policies over the last forty years in an effort to bring to the fore the processes – both institutional and political – through which they were elaborated. I argue that while the Moroccan government has always been mindful the economic importance of remittances, the primary function of its policies toward emigrants was to deal with the Kingdom’s domestic political challenges, namely the establishment of a new state after independence and the destruction of threats to the crown’s legitimacy.The Moroccan state extended to emigrant communities the logic and style of governance it adopted internally, and the policies that emerged were the product of the government’s attempt to acquire – and often wrest – the consent of emigrants to this form of transnational government, despite their often serious resistance. These policies ultimately shaped both the economic impact of migrant remittances and the political ramifications of emigrant mobilization,however it did so in ways that were unanticipated by the crown and often contrary to its interests. To illustrate my thesis, I will discuss Morocco’s three main policy instruments in this area : the Ministry for Moroccan Living Abroad, the Hassan 2 Foundation for Moroccans Living Abroad, and La Banque Populaire.

Ces derniers paraissent ambigus. En effet, les transferts revêtent un caractère ambivalent : ils peuvent aussi bien propulser que handicaper l’activité économique de la zone bénéficiaire. La possibilité d’un développement économique de la région maghrébine via l’émigration mérite réexamen.

ADAPTIVE MODELS-BASED CARDIAC SIGNALS ANALYSIS AND FEATURE EXTRACTION
Creators: name: Kheirati Roonizi, ARMAN
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2017

description: Signal modeling and feature extraction are among the most crucial and important
steps for stochastic signal processing. In this thesis, a general framework that employs
adaptive model-based recursive Bayesian state estimation for signal processing and
feature extraction is described. As a case study, the proposed framework is studied
for the problem of cardiac signal analysis. The main objective is to improve the signal
processing aspects of cardiac signals by developing new techniques based on adaptive
modelling of electrocardiogram (ECG) wave-forms. Specially several novel and
improved approaches to model-based ECG decomposition, waveform characterization
and feature extraction are proposed and studied in detail. In the concept of ECG decomposition
and wave-forms characterization, the main idea is to extend and improve
the signal dynamical models (i.e. reducing the non-linearity of the state model with
respect to previous solutions) while combining with Kalman smoother to increase the
accuracy of the model in order to split the ECG signal into its waveform components,
as it is proved that Kalman filter/smoother is an optimal estimator in minimum mean
square error (MMSE) for linear dynamical systems. The framework is used for many
real applications, such as: ECG components extraction, ST segment analysis (estimation
of a possible marker of ventricular repolarization known as T/QRS ratio) and
T-wave Alternans (TWA) detection, and its extension to many other applications is
straightforward.
Based on the proposed framework, a novel model to characterization of Atrial Fibrillation
(AF) is presented which is more effective when compared with other methods
proposed with the same aims. In this model, ventricular activity (VA) is represented
by a sum of Gaussian kernels, while a sinusoidal model is employed for atrial activity
(AA). This new model is able to track AA, VA and fibrillatory frequency simultaneously
against other methods which try to analyze the atrial fibrillatory waves (f-waves)
after VA cancellation.
Furthermore we study a new ECG processing method for assessing the spatial dispersion
of ventricular repolarization (SHVR) using V-index and a novel algorithm to
estimate the index is presented, leading to more accurate estimates. The proposed algorithm
was used to study the diagnostic and prognostic value of the V-index in patients
with symptoms suggestive of Acute Myocardial Infraction (AMI).
Almost French: Food, Class, and Gender in the American Expatriate Memoir

description: This chapter explores links among food, class and gender in two memoirs written by contemporary American expatriates in France. The argument made is that references to French cuisine simultaneously create and resolve the tensions that arise in the texts when the authors describe their ideal and elitist lives to a presumed American female readership. Food references highlight the elitism of the French lifestyle, yet they also contribute to making the memoirs and the lifestyle that they advocate more accessible to readers when presented in the form of simple recipes or as integral parts of a self-narrative of developing tastes.

We use a two-stage process to obtain similarity information from humans, which then becomes the core of the system, this perceptual information is then used to create a resizable self-organizing map which comprises a matrix of image stacks that provides a fast, intuitive and highly visual navigation environment. We report the methods used to obtain the similarity data from observer to derive the navigation system and illustrate this with an example from the abstract art domain.

MOBILE ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGIES FOR PEOPLE WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENT: SENSING AND CONVEYING INFORMATION TO SUPPORT ORIENTATION, MOBILITY AND ACCESS TO IMAGES
Creators: name: GERINO, ANDREA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2017

description: Smartphones are accessible to persons with visual impairment or blindness (VIB): screen reader technologies, integrated with mobile operating systems, enable non-visual interaction with the device. Also, features like GPS receivers, inertial sensors and cameras enable the development of Mobile Assistive Technologies (MATs) to support people with VIB. A preliminary analysis, conducted adopting an user-centric approach, highlighted some issues experienced by people with VIB in everyday activities from three main fields: orientation, mobility and access to images.
Traditional approaches to address these issues, based on assistive tools and technologies, have some limitations: in the field of mobility, for example, existing navigation support solutions (e.g. the white cane) cannot be used to perceive some environmental features like crosswalks or the current state of traffic lights; in the field of orientation, tactile maps adopted to develop cognitive maps of the environment are limited in the amount of information that can be represented on a single surface and by the lack of interactivity, two issues experienced also in other fields where access to graphical information is of paramount importance like, for example, didactics of STEM subjects.
This work presents new MATs that deal with these limitations by introducing novel solutions in different fields of Computer Science. Original computer vision techniques, designed to detect the presence of pedestrian crossings and the state of traffic lights, are used to sense information from the environment and support mobility of people with VIB. Novel sonification techniques are introduced to efficiently convey information with three different goals: first, to convey guidance information in urban crossings; second, to enhance the development of cognitive maps by augmenting tactile surfaces; third, to enable quick access to images.
Experience reported in this dissertation shows that the proposed MATs are effective in supporting people with VIB and, in general, that mobile devices are a versatile platform to enable affordable and pervasive access to assistive technologies. Involving target users in the evaluation of MATs emerged as a major challenge in this work. However, it is shown how such challenge can be addressed by adopting large scale evaluation techniques typical of HCI research.

description: When cooking porridge, humans can easily spot how vigorously the porridge is boiled and accordingly adjust the cooking power. The change of the porridge surface appearance can be regarded as dynamic  textures.  This  paper  studies  the  correlation  between several computational descriptors and human perception using image sequences of boiling porridges.  By comparing the chosen features with the results of psychophysical experiments, we found that the texture directionality descriptor proposed by Tamura et al and   the   inverse   difference   moment   descriptor   proposed   by Haralick et al best coincide with human's perception.  Our findings can be further used to judge how vigorously the porridge is boiled and accordingly adjust the cooking power in automatic cooking systems.

Development of high performance optics for the stratospheric italian polarimeter
Creators: name: FRANCESCHET, CRISTIAN
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2016

description: The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is one of the main tools of modern cosmology. Three generations of space missions and ground-based and balloon-borne experiments, have been devoted to the observation of its anisotropies, telling us about the history, age, geometry and the ingredients of our Universe.
An invaluable amount of cosmological information is hidden in the polarized component of the CMB. The detection of the so-called B-modes ? the tiny imprint of primordial gravitational waves in the CMB photons ? would strongly support the paradigm of Inflation, shedding light on the very first moments after the Big Bang and consolidating our understanding of the early Universe.
The Large Scale Polarization Explorer (LSPE) has taken up this challenge. Through its two instruments, it will observe the CMB polarization on large angular scales and produce wide maps of foreground polarization generated by synchrotron and interstellar dust emissions in our Galaxy.
This thesis focuses on the optics of the Stratospheric Italian Polarimeter (STRIP), the eyes of one of the two LSPE instruments. We started from the development and electromagnetic characterization of the STRIP forty-nine feedhorns. Then we modeled our array in the focal plane of the instrument telescope and simulated the optical response. Aberrations of the angular response in the main beam region and the straylight contamination due to sidelobes pickup are two of the main sources of systematic errors. Therefore, we assessed their impact on the observation of the polarized signal from the sky.

description: Transition-metal oxides (TMO) are one of the most studied class of
materials, as a consequence of their rich and exotic physical properties,
mainly determined by the strong electronic correlations of the metal d
electrons. In this thesis I discuss about a particular 5d compound, sodium
iridates, where spin-orbit coupling Coulomb repulsion and bandwidth are
in comparable energy scales.
Furthermore, these systems are Mott insulators and present a zigzag
antiferromagnetic transition below TN 15 K.
Here we tackle the physics of sodium iridates by adopting a nonequilibrium
viewpoint based on the use of ultrafast light pulses combined
in the so-called pump-probe experimental configuration. The aim is to
perturb the antiferromagnetic state of the system via the excitation with a
pump pulse and to observe the ultrafast recovery of the ground state by
means of a second delayed probe pulse. Specifically, we will measure the
dynamics of the pump-induced reflectivity variation in the zigzag
antiferromagnetic and normal states as a function of the probe energy
and as a function of time delay between the pump and the probe pulses.

description: This study aims to clarify the effect of the appearance of dishes on the visual palatability for elderly people concerning its color appearance, glossiness, and visual texture. We conducted a subjective experiment on visual palatability of dishes under different light sources. We used the digital images of 12 kinds of food dishes to give the subject the same visual stimuli with no olfactory  cues. As a result, we found that elderly's  "visual palatability"  was affected  by not only  the "color  appearance" but also the "glossiness" of dishes.

From Ink Traces to Ideology: Material, Text, and Composition of Qumran Community Rule Manuscripts

description: This study is a fresh analysis of a collection of scrolls and fragments grouped under the rubric, The Community Rule or Serekh ha-Yaḥad. As part of the manuscripts discovered in the Judean Desert, the Community Rule manuscripts are all fragmentary to various degrees, yet attest to important issues of legal dispute and community formation in the Second Temple era. Whereas the previous 70 years of scholarship bifurcated some of these scrolls into different "works," I argue for a process of compositional development which revolved around issues of legal authority and purity. It is my contention that textual similarities and differences—ink traces as it were—provide opportunity to probe into the legal ideology of the tradents, in terms of how anterior sources were configured to establish and project political authority in contradistinction to the tradents' opponents. Consequently, I propose a compositional hermeneutic model that accounts for textual stability and change with respect to disputes of legal authority and notions of textuality in the Second Temple era. In addition, I provide several new editions, most importantly a new edition of 4QSerekh ha-Yaḥade (+ olim 4QOtot), 4Q Serekh ha-Yaḥadb, and 1QS+ab (= 1QS, 1QSa, and 1QSb). These new editions were made by drawing on advanced manuscript studies in the digital humanities and material philology. Consequently, I provide a plethora of new textual readings and reconstructions. In short, this study observes and takes account of the various semantic and textual drifts in the compositional development attested in, among, and between the manuscripts of the so-called Community Rule at Qumran.

CHRONIC ELECTRICAL PACING INHIBITS GAP JUNCTION MEDIATED CELL-TO-CELL COMMUNICATION BY PROMOTING CX43-ACETYLATION
Creators: name: AZZIMATO, VALERIO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano

description: Communication among cardiomyocytes depends upon Gap Junction (GJ) protein expression and conductance. Previous studies demonstrated that electrical stimulation can induce GJ remodeling and evidences from neurons also indicate that electrical pacing modifies Lysine acetylase (HAT) and deacetylases (HDAC) activities. Aim of the present work was to establish whether electrical stimulation modulates GJ-mediated cardiac cell-cell communication by acetylation dependent mechanisms.
Methods and results: Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCM; n=3) and in HL-1 atrial cells (n=20) were exposed to electrical field stimulation for 24 hours (Ionoptix C-Pace�; 0.5 Hz, 20 V, 0.5 msec pulses). Connexin 43 (Cx43) expression decreased almost 50% in NRCM and 40 % in HL-1; in contrast Cx40 and Cx45 expression was unchanged. Further, confocal microscopy revealed that electrical stimulation induced Cx43 accumulation in the cytoplasm of HL-1 cells. Electrical stimulation significatly down-regulated HDAC activity up to the 30% (n=3), whereas HAT activity was not modified; the net effect was a general increase of cell protein acetylation, confirmed by western blot analysis. Specifically, the pacing-dependent acetylation of Cx43 was proven by immunoprecipitation assay (n=5). Interestingly, our model mimicked the action of the HDAC pan-inhibitors TSA and SAHA on Cx43 expression and intracellular distribution, although we did not observe Cx43 mRNA significant reduction in electrically stimulated cells. In agreement, MG132 proteasome inhibitor (10 �M) restored Cx43 expression level. Finally, also the treatment of paced cells with the HAT inhibitor Anacardic Acid (0.5 �M) was able to rescue Cx43 level (n=4). Intriguingly, preliminary results also indicate lateralization and increased acetylation of Cx43 in the left ventricles of dogs with pacing-induced dilated cardiomyopathy (n=4).
Conclusions: In vitro electrical stimulation of cardiac cells promotes Cx43 acetylation, which results in Cx43 down-modulation and intracellular relocalization, confirmed also in vivo. Our findings suggest that electrical activity-dependent increase in Cx43 acetylation might be a novel mechanism for the regulation of cardiomyocyte communication and, thus, represent a new tool for rhythm disturbance regulation.
