description: L'évaluation de la gestion des ressources humaines chez PBM / Mapangu révèle des pratiques traditionnelles avec des lacunes significatives. La structure hiérarchique rigide et le manque de communication entraînent un sentiment d'aliénation parmi les employés. Les programmes de formation existants ne répondent pas toujours aux besoins spécifiques des employés, ce qui limite leur développement. Pour réussir la transition vers un management humain, PBM / Mapangu doit surmonter plusieurs défis, notamment la résistance au changement et la nécessité d'une culture d'entreprise valorisant l'humain. Une communication efficace est cruciale, tout comme la mise en place de canaux permettant aux employés d'exprimer leurs idées. De plus, la personnalisation des parcours de formation et la promotion du bien-être au travail sont essentielles. Les enquêtes montrent que 75 % des employés se sentent satisfaits de leur environnement de travail, bien que 25 % ressentent une insatisfaction. La communication est jugée efficace par 75 % des employés, mais des

 

améliorations sont nécessaires. En matière de formation, 75 % estiment que les programmes ne répondent pas entièrement à leurs besoins. Enfin, bien que 80 % des employés se sentent engagés, des efforts doivent être faits pour améliorer leur bien-être. En prenant en compte ces éléments, PBM / Mapangu peut renforcer l'engagement des employés et améliorer sa performance globale.
The Dimension of Wit in Translation: Rendering Wilde’s Pun Ernest/Earnest into Italian
Creators: name: Gozzelino, Giulia
Publisher: name: Biblioteca di Studi di Filologia Moderna: Series, Journals and Workshop
Year: 2011

description: The text analyses the different strategies adopted by three Italian translators of The Importance of Being Earnest, examining their different renderings of Wilde’s humour and especially the pun on the expression «being Earnest». The title is a central issue, since it is a manifesto of the intentions of the author, who wants to unmask the false seriousness of high society playing on the similarity between Ernest, earnest and honest. After a brief survey on the debunking of the concept of earnestness through the whole play, Giulia Gozzelino points out that in Luigi Lunari’s title L’importanza di chiamarsi Ernesto, the translator chooses to stress the importance of pure nonsense in Wilde’s wordplay; Guido Almansi’s «essere Fedele» strives to find an Italian equivalent to the original, but does not fully convey the complexity of Wilde’s message, and Masolino d’Amico, using the XIX century name «Probo» only in the title and in the final line of the play, opts for translating into Italian Wilde’s polite playfulness

description: This study discloses the development of a solution for realizing a smart home in the post COVID-19 era using the Internet of Things domain knowledge. COVID-19 outbreak has been catastrophic and impacted everyone's lives due to its rapid transmission from one body to another. This study aims to reduce virus transmission by eliminating the need to touch any common-point surface in a home, such as switches, doorknobs, and remotes. We provide a generic solution by coupling things with the internet to control them remotely. The project aims to showcase a working solution to controlling devices like smart bulbs, smart fans, smart ACs, and smart door locks in our self-developed emulator over WWW securely using two different protocols, viz., HTTP and MQTT-over-WSS. Additionally, intent authentication over HTTP is based on digital signature that is demonstrated using RSA (encryption) and MD5 (hashing) when the system is deployed in insecure environment(s). RESTful API deployed on AWS EC2 is used to realize HTTP communication protocol, and MQTT is realized using AWS IoT service. The developed project can be applied to any smart home setting like a hotel or public place using AWS IoT, Lambda, or similar infrastructure as a broker.
A Theoretical Model of Domain Expertise and Creative Idea Generation
Creators: name: Eapen, T. T.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This paper develops a theoretical model examining how diverse profiles of domain ex pertise influence the creative idea generation process, with detailed consideration of both mathematical structures and economic implications. Expertise is conceptualized as a multi-dimensional construct defined by depth and breadth across multiple knowledge domains. We analyze how these dimensions affect the novelty and feasibility of generated ideas by model ing the idea generation process as a probabilistic and combinatorial synthesis of pre-acquired knowledge units. The framework quantifies expected idea quality while highlighting key trade-offs between idea quantity and quality. This theoretical exploration aims to provide insights into human capital allocation, innovation policy, and organizational strategy. In doing so, it underscores the critical role of diverse expertise in fueling both incremental and radical breakthroughs that shape long-term economic growth.
The effect of acceleration parameter on thermal entanglement and teleportation of a two-qubit Heisenberg XXX model with Dzyaloshinski-Moriya interaction in non-inertial frames

description: Thermal entanglement and teleportation properties in non-inertial frames are investigated when a two-qubit Heisenberg XXX model with Dzyaloshinski-Moriya (DM) interaction is used as the quantum channel. We find that thermal entanglement and the teleportation fidelity of a teleported state decrease with the acceleration parameter or temperature, in other words, the quantum entanglement teleportation will degenerate in non-inertial frames. Furthermore, our results also show that the average fidelity may be promoted by DM interaction for the ferromagnetic case, which is opposite to the antiferromagnetic case in non-inertial frames, although hindered by acceleration parameter, and their influence can be counteracted.

 ‘In the Heart of the Roman Metropolis’: an Italian Prologue to Synge’s Investigative Journalism
Creators: name: Bruna, Giulia
Publisher: name: Biblioteca di Studi di Filologia Moderna: Series, Journals and Workshop
Year: 2011

description: This article explores Synge’s trip to Italy and his sojourn in Rome in 1896. It will document his immersion into Italian culture as well as touching on the significance of his trip to Rome in light of his successive artistic career. The outcomes of Synge’s Italian journey translated into a newspaper report for the Irish Times which discusses the riots in Piazza Montecitorio caused by Prime Minister Francesco Crispi’s resignation after the Italian defeat by the Emperor of Ethiopia Menelik, during the first Italo-Abyssinian war. This essay will read Synge’s newspaper report “The Demonstrations in Rome (by an eyewitness)” as an antecedent to his travel narratives for the nuanced portrayal of the rioting crowd and his methodological approach from the field – hallmarks of his subsequent prose as evident, for example, in The Aran Islands (1907) and in the Manchester Guardian series “In the Congested Districts” (1905).

description: Background: Social determinants of health (SDH) have been found to contribute to cardiovascular risk and the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, few studies have examined early-life exposure to SDH and the combined effect of multiple SDH measures on CVD. There is an urgent need to develop an SDH index for use in practice and clinical settings. Methods: A total of 3189 participants from the CARDIA Study who had chest CT scans at the year-25 (Y25) visit were included in this study. Personal and parental SDH measures, including education, occupation, income, financial strain, and childhood family environment, were obtained through interviews. The participants’ coronary artery calcification (CAC) was measured using chest CT scans, and left-ventricular mass (LVM) was measured using M-mode echocardiography. The values of the individual social determinants of health (iSDH) index were determined based on individual-level measures and CAC using a supervised learning method—the Boosted Regression Tree (BRT) model. This index’s association with the LVM index (LVMI) was evaluated as an external validation using linear regression models adjusting for race, sex, BMI, smoking status, alcohol intake, and physical activity. Results: Each one-standard-deviation (SD) increase in the iSDH index was associated with an increase in LVMI ranging from 0.376 (95% CI −0.016, 0.767) at year 0 to 0.468 (95% CI 0.115, 0.821) at year 20. The association between the iSDH index and the LVMI was more pronounced as the participants aged. Also, the iSDH indices were more strongly associated with LVMI among Black participants (β = 0.969, 95% CI = 0.081, 1.858) than White participants (β = 0.202, 95% CI = −0.228, 0.633) at year 5. Conclusions: Higher iSDH indices in early adulthood were associated with increased LVMI values in midlife. The association between the iSDH index and CVD was stronger among Black adults than with White adults.

description: We theoretically investigate three-body losses in a single-component Fermi gas near a $p$-wave Feshbach resonance in the interacting, non-unitary regime. We extend the cascade model introduced by Waseem \textit{et al.} [M. Waseem, J. Yoshida, T. Saito, and T. Mukaiyama, Phys. Rev. A \textbf{99}, 052704 (2019)] to describe the elastic and inelastic collision processes. We find that the loss behavior exhibits a $n^3$ and an anomalous $n^2$ density dependence for a ratio of elastic-to-inelastic collision rate larger and smaller than 1, respectively. The corresponding evolutions of the energy distribution show collisional cooling or evolution toward low-energetic non-thermalized steady states, respectively. These findings are particularly relevant for understanding atom loss and energetic evolution of ultracold gases of fermionic lithium atoms in their ground state.
Influences, Translations, Settings: An Evaluation of the Literary Relations between Ireland and Italy
Creators: name: Sciarrino, Chiara
Publisher: name: Biblioteca di Studi di Filologia Moderna: Series, Journals and Workshop
Year: 2011

description: The text is an attempt to draw conclusions about the literary relations between Italy and Ireland. Taking as its starting point a booklet published by the Italian Cultural Institute Dublin in 1964, the study surveys the influences of Pirandello and Dante in Ireland and analyses in detail translations of Italian poems made by Denis Devlin, Gerald Dawe, Tom Paulin, Derek Mahon, Paul Muldoon, Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, Harry Clifton and Desmond O’Grady (their authors: Ungaretti, Quasimodo, Montale, Leopardi). Next, it deals with the ways Italian artistic heritage and natural beauties have been re-interpreted by Irish travelers, according special attention to Elizabeth Bowen’s work. The following sections investigate the relationship between Italian visual arts and music and Anglo-Irish Literature, exploring in particular Frank McGuinness’ Caravaggio, Tom Murphys’ The Gigli Concert and Jim Nolan’s The Salvage Shop. The final part of the essay is dedicated to the role Italian migrants play in Irish narrative.

description: Strong correlations can dramatically modify the thermodynamics of a quantum many-particle system. Especially intriguing behaviour can appear when the system adiabatically enters a strongly correlated regime, for the interplay between entropy and strong interactions can lead to counterintuitive effects. A well known example is the so-called Pomeranchuk effect, occurring when liquid 3He is adiabatically compressed towards its crystalline phase. Here, we report on a novel anomalous, isentropic effect in a spin mixture of attractively interacting fermionic atoms in an optical lattice. As we adiabatically increase the attraction between the atoms we observe that the gas, instead of contracting, anomalously expands. This expansion results from the combination of two effects induced by pair formation in a lattice potential: the suppression of quantum fluctuations as the attraction increases, which leads to a dominant role of entropy, and the progressive loss of the spin degree of freedom, which forces the gas to excite additional orbital degrees of freedom and expand to outer regions of the trap in order to maintain the entropy. The unexpected thermodynamics we observe reveal fundamentally distinctive features of pairing in the fermionic Hubbard model.

description: Visualizing atomic-orbital degrees of freedom is a frontier challenge in scanned microscopy. Some types of orbital order are virtually imperceptible to normal scattering techniques because they do not reduce the overall crystal lattice symmetry. A good example is dxz/dyz (π,π) orbital order in tetragonal lattices. For enhanced detectability, here we consider the quasiparticle scattering interference (QPI) signature of such (π,π) orbital order in both normal and superconducting phases. The theory reveals that sublattice-specific QPI signatures generated by the orbital order should emerge strongly in the superconducting phase. Sublattice-resolved QPI visualization in superconducting CeCoIn5 then reveals two orthogonal QPI patterns at lattice-substitutional impurity atoms. We analyze the energy dependence of these two orthogonal QPI patterns and find the intensity peaked near E=0, as predicted when such (π) orbital order is inte,πrtwined with d-wave superconductivity. Sublattice-resolved superconductive QPI techniques thus represent a new approach for study of hidden orbital order.

description: Short-range potential has been added into an extended quantum molecular dynamics (EQMD) model. The RMS radius, binding energy and momentum distribution of $^{12}$C with different initial structures and short-range potential parameters have been checked. The separation energy of $^{12}$C(p,2p)$^{11}$B reaction is calculated and compared with the experimental data, it indicates that our modified EQMD model can be taken as a reliable tool for studying proton pair knock-out reaction. Furthermore, the short range correlation effects on emission time and momentum spectrum of two protons are discussed. Finally, the momentum correlation function of the emitted proton pair is calculated by the Lednicky and Lyuboshitz's analytical method. The result explains that short-range repulsion causes high momentum tail and weakens the momentum correlation function.

Year: 2010

description: Jammu and Kashmir’s official language is Urdu while the majority of its population speaks Kashmiri. This might be explained as a concession to the state’s Muslim majority, being Urdu an identity symbol of the Muslims. The present paper, by adopting the perspective of the language policy, will show relevant aspects of the difficult relationship between New Delhi and the State of Jammu and Kashmir. Contemporary India’s linguistic conditions and the Urdu question are here examined together with the conditions of Jammu and Kashmir. A sketch of the history of Urdu in Kashmir is presented, in order to explain the issue of Kashmiri language and identity, as well as the fact that Urdu was established as the official language of the State.

description: The task of testing whether two uncharacterized quantum devices behave in the same way is crucial for benchmarking near-term quantum computers and quantum simulators, but has so far remained open for continuous-variable quantum systems. In this Letter, we develop a machine learning algorithm for comparing unknown continuous variable states using limited and noisy data. The algorithm works on non-Gaussian quantum states for which similarity testing could not be achieved with previous techniques. Our approach is based on a convolutional neural network that assesses the similarity of quantum states based on a lower-dimensional state representation built from measurement data. The network can be trained offline with classically simulated data from a fiducial set of states sharing structural similarities with the states to be tested, or with experimental data generated by measurements on the fiducial states, or with a combination of simulated and experimental data. We test the performance of the model on noisy cat states and states generated by arbitrary selective number-dependent phase gates. Our network can also be applied to the problem of comparing continuous variable states across different experimental platforms, with different sets of achievable measurements, and to the problem of experimentally testing whether two states are equivalent up to Gaussian unitary transformations.

description: Wave propagation phenomena in soils can be experimentally simulated using centrifuge scale models. An original excitation device (drop-ball arrangement) is proposed to generate short wave trains. Wave reflections on model boundaries are taken into account and removed by homomorphic filtering. Propagation is investigated through dispersion laws. For drop-ball experiments, spherical wave field analysis assuming linear viscoelasticity leads to a complete analytical description of wave propagation. Damping phenomena are examined and evaluated using this description.

description: Yrast and near-yrast states above the known 25/2$^{+}$ isomer in $^{207}$At are established for the first time. The level scheme is extended up to 47/2$\hbar$ and 6.5 MeV with the addition of about 60 new $γ$-ray transitions. The half-life of the 25/2$^{+}$ isomer is revisited and a value of $T_{1/2}$ = 107.5(9) ns is deduced. Evidence of a hitherto unobserved 29/2$^{+}$ isomer in $^{207}$At is presented. A systematic study of $B(E3)$ values for the transitions de-exciting the 29/2$^{+}$ isomer in the neighboring odd-$A$ At isotopes suggests a half-life in the 2$-$4.5 $μ$s range for this state in $^{207}$At. The experimental results are compared with large-scale shell-model calculations performed using the KHM3Y effective interaction in the $Z$ = 50$-$126, $N$ = 82$-$184 model space and an overall good agreement is noted between the theory and the experiment. A qualitative comparison of the excited states and the isomers with analogous states in neighboring nuclei provides further insight into the structure of $^{207}$At.

description: Cosmic superstring loops generically contain strings of different tensions that meet at Y-junctions. These loops evolve non-periodically in time, and have cusps and kinks that interact with the junctions. We study the effect of junctions on the gravitational wave signal emanating from cosmic string cusps and kinks. We find that earlier results on the strength of individual bursts from cusps and kinks on strings without junctions remain largely unchanged, but junctions give rise to additional contributions to the gravitational wave signal coming from strings expanding at the speed of light at a junction and kinks passing through a junction.

Deep Near-infrared Imaging Observation of the Faint X-ray Point Sources Constituting the Galactic Bulge X-ray Emission

description: Presence of the apparently extended hard (2-10 keV) X-ray emission along the Galactic plane has been known since the early 1980s. With a deep X-ray exposure using the Chandra X-ray Observatory of a slightly off-plane region in the Galactic bulge, most of the extended emission was resolved into faint discrete X-ray sources in the Fe K band (Revnivtsev et al.,2009). The major constituents of these sources have long been considered to be X-ray active stars and magnetic cataclysmic variables (CVs). However, recent works including our NIR imaging and spectroscopic studies (Morihana et al.,2013, 2016) argue that other populations should be more dominant. To investigate this further, we conducted a much deeper NIR imaging observation at the center of the Chandra's exposure field. We have used the MOIRCS on the Subaru telescope, reaching the limiting magnitude of ~18 mag in the J, H, and Ks bands in this crowded region, and identified ~50 % of the X-ray sources with NIR candidate counterparts. We classified the X-ray sources into three groups (A, B, and C) based on their positions in the X-ray color-color diagram and characterized them based on the X-ray and NIR features. We argue that the major populations of the Group A and C sources are, respectively, CVs (binaries containing magnetic or non-magnetic white dwarfs with high accretion rates) and X-ray active stars. The major population of the Group B sources is presumably WD binaries with low mass accretion rates. The Fe K equivalent width in the composite X-ray spectrum of the Group B sources is the largest among the three and comparable to that of the Galactic bulge X-ray emission. This leads us to speculate that there are numerous WD binaries with low mass accretion rates, which are not recognized as CVs, but are the major contributor of the apparently extended X-ray emission.

Can AI-generated news reduce hostile media perceptions? Findings from two experiments

Publisher: name: Frontiers Media SA
Year: 2025

description:
Introduction: The current debate regarding artificial intelligence (AI) raises the question of whether AI-generated news articles on controversial topics can reduce news consumers’ hostile media perceptions (HMP). In addition, there is a debate about people’s prior attitudes toward AI and how it influences people’s perceptions of AI-generated news articles. Methods: Based on the theoretical foundation of the MAIN model and the Hostile Media Phenomenon, we conducted two preregistered experimental studies in the United States (N = 1,197). All subjects were presented with a news article on a divisive and polarizing topic (gun regulation), but we systematically varied the supposed author of the article (human journalist, AI-generated, AI and human journalist working together). Results and Discussion: In both studies exposure to the AI-generated news article significantly reduced participants’ HMP. However, the effect was only detected for individuals with negative and moderate prior attitudes toward AI. Individuals with positive AI attitudes did not benefit from AI-generated articles. AI-assisted news reporting showed very limited effects (only in Study 2). Furthermore, we examined if HMP predict online engagement. While Study 1 showed no effects on online engagement, Study 2 revealed that exposure to an AI-generated news article indirectly increased online engagement (intention to share a news article with friends and family). Implications for communication and journalism are discussed.

description: Glasses are structurally liquid-like, but mechanically solid-like. Most attempts to understand glasses start from liquid state theory. Here we take the opposite point of view, and use concepts from solid state physics. We determine the vibrational modes of a colloidal glass experimentally, and find soft low-frequency modes that are very different in nature from the usual acoustic vibrations of ordinary solids. These modes extend over surprisingly large length scales.

description: Security issue reports are the primary means of informing development teams of security risks in projects, but little is known about current practices. We aim to understand the characteristics of these reports in open-source projects and uncover opportunities to improve developer practices. We analysed 3,493 security issue reports in 182 different projects on GitHub and manually studied 333 reports, and their discussions and pull requests. We found that, the number of security issue reports has increased over time, they are resolved faster, and they are reported in earlier development stages compared to past years. Nevertheless, a tiny group of developers are involved frequently, security issues progress slowly, and a great number of them has been pending for a long time. We realized that only a small subset of security issue reports include reproducibility data, a potential fix is rarely suggested, and there is no hint regarding how a reporter spotted an issue. We noted that the resolution time of an issue is significantly shorter when the first reaction to a security report is fast and when a reference to a known vulnerability exists.

description: The membrane (M) protein of betacoronaviruses is well conserved and has a key role in viral assembly1,2. Here we describe the identification of JNJ-9676, a small-molecule inhibitor targeting the coronavirus M protein. JNJ-9676 demonstrates in vitro nanomolar antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV and sarbecovirus strains from bat and pangolin zoonotic origin. Using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), we determined a binding pocket of JNJ-9676 formed by the transmembrane domains of the M protein dimer. Compound binding stabilized the M protein dimer in an altered conformational state between its long and short forms, preventing the release of infectious virus. In a pre-exposure Syrian golden hamster model, JNJ-9676 (25 mg per kg twice per day) showed excellent efficacy, illustrated by a significant reduction in viral load and infectious virus in the lung by 3.5 and 4 log10-transformed RNA copies and 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID50) per mg lung, respectively. Histopathology scores at this dose were reduced to the baseline. In a post-exposure hamster model, JNJ-9676 was efficacious at 75 mg per kg twice per day even when added at 48 h after infection, when peak viral loads were observed. The M protein is an attractive antiviral target to block coronavirus replication, and JNJ-9676 represents an interesting chemical series towards identifying clinical candidates addressing the current and future coronavirus pandemics.

description: Twisted bilayer graphene has a rich phase diagram, including superconductivity. Recently, an unexpected discovery has been the observation of superconductivity in non-twisted graphene bilayers and trilayers. In this Perspective, we give an overview of the search for uncommon phases in non-twisted graphene systems. We first contextualize these recent results within earlier work in the field, before examining the new experimental findings. Finally, we analyse the numerous theoretical models that study the underlying physical processes in these systems

Comparative analysis of the Northern and Southern Athapaskan "Slayer of Monsters" Myth
Creators: name: Tyhurst, Robert James Stewart
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis examines the distribution of three portions of narrative action, or motifs, which are found in the mythology of the Northern and Southern Athapaskan peoples. In the Eagle motif, a man enters an eagles' nest, in the Bull motif, a man slays a large monster with the help of a rodent or small rodent-like animal, and in the Cliff Ogre motif, a man pushes a monster off a cliff to its death. These motifs, where-ever they occur in Athapaskan mythology, are found in close association, and are carried out by the same culture hero, ox culture heroes. The Eagle motif, the motif with the widest distribution among the Northern Athapaskans, is broken into episodes. An episode is defined as a segment of a particular version of a motif which is not shared with another version under consideration, or which is shared by all versions under consideration. The NEST episode, the only episode of the Eagle motif found for all the Northern and Southern Athapaskan versions examined here, is broken into elements. An element is defined as a segment of an episode which is small enough to adequately describe the text, but which is sufficiently large to enable comparison without the interference of minor details. The elements are determined as well, so as to permit a one-to-one correspondence in comparison of elements. Versions of the Nest episode are compared on the basis of the elements which they contain, and a coefficient of similarity is calculated. It is found that those versions of the Eagle motif which share more than one episode tend to have higher scores on the coefficient of similarity than those which share only one episode. Non-Athapaskan versions of the Eagle, Bull, and Cliff Ogre motifs from the Southwest, Basin, Plateau, and Plains, are compared with Northern and Southern Athapaskan version of the same motifs. In view of the content and distribution of the three motifs it is concluded that it is most highly probable that they were carried to the Southwest by the precursors .of the Southern Athapaskans. An Appendix contains a translation of Chipewyan, Dogrib, and Hare texts from Petitot's "Traditions Indiennes du Canada nord-ouest" (1886).
Materiali per una didattica delle scritture pubbliche di cancelleria nell'Italia del Quattrocento
Creators: name: Lazzarini, Isabella
Publisher: name: Scrineum Rivista
Year: 2013
Subjects: diplomatics; chancery documents; Italia

description: This essay is an account of sources and “materials” chosen to offer a range of public written records produced and preserved by the late medieval Italian chancelleries, both in republics and principalities. It will examine three different groups of documents: first, the diplomatic sources, particularly the dispatches; then a group of administrative registers such as the libri officiorum; and finally the late medieval-early modern inventories of some public archives. The analysis focuses on the historical evolution as well as the possible homogeneity of these sources, trying to identify some links between political power and written records in late medieval Italy. As a matter of fact, the relationship between public written records, the forms of power and the documentary preservation both in past and in present times proves itself to be crucial in the process of transformation of the late medieval Italian states.

description: Background/Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of using tantalum-loaded Obsidio conformable embolic (Ta-OCE) in gastroduodenal artery (GDA) embolization for upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB), employing a novel “open-sandwich” technique. Methods: An institutional review board (IRB)-approved retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent GDA embolization for UGIB using Ta-OCE between May 2023 and June 2024, using an “open-sandwich” technique. Briefly, the retrograde sources of flow, namely the right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA), was commonly embolized with a single, usually detachable, coil at its proximal aspect. Beginning within the proximal RGEA adjacent to the coil and distal to the site of extravasation and/or an endoscopically placed clip, Ta-OCE was then instilled in a continuous fashion to the origin of GDA. Technical success was defined as complete occlusion of the target vessel without immediate procedural complications. Clinical success was assessed as the absence of rebleeding within 4 weeks post-embolization. Adverse events were evaluated using Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (v.5). Results: Overall, a total of 10 patients, with a mean age of 67.3 years, underwent Ta-OCE embolization for UGIB. A technical success rate of 100% was achieved with no instances of immediate procedural complications. Clinical success was achieved in eight patients (80%). Re-intervention was required in two patients in whom the proximal GDA and distal GDA/proximal RGEA were not embolized adequately, respectively. A significant change in mean hemoglobin levels was observed 24 h pre- and post-embolization, with a mean increase of 1.47 g/dL. Conclusions: Despite the small sample size, lack of control group, and retrospective design, the “open-sandwich” technique combining Ta-OCE with a single coil appears to be an effective and safe method of GDA embolization in the setting of UGIB. Larger multicenter studies are needed to further evaluate the feasibility of this technique.
Condensating into vivid portraits: l’intertestualità nascosta nella poesia di Medbh McGuckian
Creators: name: Gamerra, Gioia

Year: 2011

description: The following essay aims at investigating the semantic and intertextual denseness of McGuckian’s poems, going beyond her supposed incommunicability. She has often highlighted the “balancing” and “clarifying” power of her own poems, and the unbiased reader will realise that they do contain an immediate and outspoken quality. This is often mysteriously conveyed by certain images which emerge from the intermingling of textual and intertextual places. Usually, in many of her works, McGuckian quotes or refers to wide parts of some texts, whose source is not indicated. Sometimes her poems rise from the way these fragments are interwoven, even without any ‘new’ word, in order to define and confirm a contemporary and intimally feminine poetical identity. This essay will discover and enlighten some of these intertextual processes and devises, which, necessarily, add meaning to her already semantically and iconographically dense poetic visions.

description: The use of floating bipolar electrodes in electrowinning cells of copper constitutes a nonconventional technology that promises economic and operational impacts. This paper presents a computational tool for the simulation and analysis of such electrochemical cells. A new model is developed for floating electrodes and a method of finite difference is used to obtain the threedimensional distribution of the potential and the field of current density inside the cell. The analysis of the results is based on a technique for the interactive visualization of three-dimensional vectorial fields as lines of flow.

description: Due to the irregular shapes,various sizes and indistinguishable boundaries between the normal and infected tissues, it is still a challenging task to accurately segment the infected lesions of COVID-19 on CT images. In this paper, a novel segmentation scheme is proposed for the infections of COVID-19 by enhancing supervised information and fusing multi-scale feature maps of different levels based on the encoder-decoder architecture. To this end, a deep collaborative supervision (Co-supervision) scheme is proposed to guide the network learning the features of edges and semantics. More specifically, an Edge Supervised Module (ESM) is firstly designed to highlight low-level boundary features by incorporating the edge supervised information into the initial stage of down-sampling. Meanwhile, an Auxiliary Semantic Supervised Module (ASSM) is proposed to strengthen high-level semantic information by integrating mask supervised information into the later stage. Then an Attention Fusion Module (AFM) is developed to fuse multiple scale feature maps of different levels by using an attention mechanism to reduce the semantic gaps between high-level and low-level feature maps. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated on four various COVID-19 CT datasets. The results show that the proposed three modules are all promising. Based on the baseline (ResUnet), using ESM, ASSM, or AFM alone can respectively increase Dice metric by 1.12\%, 1.95\%,1.63\% in our dataset, while the integration by incorporating three models together can rise 3.97\%. Compared with the existing approaches in various datasets, the proposed method can obtain better segmentation performance in some main metrics, and can achieve the best generalization and comprehensive performance.
