description: Ettore Spalletti re-invents in 1996 the morgue of Raymond Poincaré Hospital in Garches, just at Paris gates. It is a space without any religious symbol where corpses, already put in their coffins, can receive the last look of relatives and friends. This space is la Salle des Départs, that is the departures room, where each man – Muslim, Christian or non-believer -  has to stay for the short transit between the world of life and the one of death, towards a new life. Ettore Spalletti wants to humanize a place that could help people to elaborate death, breathing peace and  serenity. Starting from a completely anonymous space, thanks to the expressiveness of azure color, the same of the cloak of the Vergin who welcomes her sons, the artist makes us dip in a space which presents itself as the incarnation of  purity, becoming like a symbol of the promise of transcendence and absolute.
description: Ettore Spalletti re-inventa nel 1996 l’obitorio dell’ospedale Raymond Poincaré a Garches - alle porte di Parigi. È uno spazio privo di simboli religiosi, in cui i corpi, posti nella bara, sono esposti all’ultimo sguardo dei familiari e degli amici. È la Salle des départs, sala delle partenze, in cui ogni uomo è chiamato a soggiornare - musulmano, cristiano, non credente – per il breve transito dal mondo della vita a quello della morte, verso una nuova vita. L’intento di Spalletti è quello di umanizzare un luogo che aiuti le persone a elaborare il lutto, infondendo pace e serenità. Da uno spazio anonimo, grazie alla forza espressiva del colore azzurro, come quello del manto di una Madonna che accoglie i suoi figli, l’artista ci fa immergere in un luogo che si presenta come l’incarnazione della purezza, diventando simbolo della promessa della trascendenza e dell’assoluto.

When stuff gets in the way of life: hoarding and the DSM-5
Creators: name: Kyrios, Michael
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: We've all got boxes of old letters, clothes and other keepsakes we've collected over our lifetime. Sometimes these boxes or shelves seem to take over spare rooms and garages. But while we might joke that we're 'a bit of a hoarder', there's a big difference between holding onto important mementos and compulsive hoarding. Hoarding is the persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions and their ultimate stockpiling---regardless of their value. Possessions may include objects or animals, with the resulting clutter rendering living spaces unusable, unsafe or unhygienic. Aside from problems discarding objects, people with hoarding difficulties report excessive acquisition, whether through compulsive buying or free procurement. With prevalence estimates of around 2% to 5% of the population, somewhere between 400,000 and 1 million Australians are likely to have hoarding problems that cause them or others significant distress and conflict. Hoarding problems most commonly begin before early adulthood, although they most commonly present to services when affected individuals are much older. Hoarding affects people from all social classes and educational backgrounds, though it commonly presents alongside depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit disorder, other anxiety problems, compulsive buying, other impulse control problems, and other serious mental health problems. The degree of self-awareness in individuals with hoarding problems varies, and is generally poorer than that in those with OCD.

Synthesis, structure and reactivity of transition metal complexes containing P-, O- and N-donor ligands.

description: Rhodium complex, [Rh2(PPh3)4(mu-OH) 2] containing bridging hydroxo ligands, smoothly reacts with [HM(CO) 3Cp] (M = Cr, Mo, W) to afford the corresponding heterobimetallic complexes, [(Ph3P)2Rh(mu-CO)2M(CO)Cp]. The reaction of [Pd2L2(Ph)2(mu-OH) 2] with an equimolar amount of [HM(CO)3Cp] gives the organometallic hydroxo clusters [L2Pd2(Ph)2(mu-OH)(mu-CO) 2(mu3-CO)MCP] in high yield. These reactions can be regarded as the neutralization of an acidic transition metal hydride by a basic transition metal hydroxide. The structure of the Pd2Cr cluster was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction study. The trinuclear hydroxo clusters are stable in the solid state but slowly decompose in solution, the decomposition path being strongly dependent on the nature of M. Facile and selective decomposition of the Pd2W hydroxo complex resulted in the formation of [Pd2(PPh3)2(Ph)2(mu-OH) 2], biphenyl, and the tetranuclear Pd2W2 cluster. Similar tetranuclear clusters were obtained in high yield when the palladium hydroxo dimers were neutralized with excess [HM(CO)3CP] or [HM(CO) 3Cp*]. However these reactions proceed by a different pathway involving Ph/H exchange process, and resulted in the formation of benzene and [PhM(CO) 3Cp] or [PhM(CO)3Cp*], respectively. Labeling experiments suggested that the H atoms of the hydrido and hydroxo ligands underwent an exchange which was faster than the neutralization and the concomitant formation of the metal-metal bond. Infrared and NMR studies show that the structures of the trinuclear hydroxo clusters were more rigid than those of the tetranuclear species. Tetranuclear complexes containing three different metals, Pd 2MoW and Pd2CrW were prepared and characterized. The reaction of [Rh(CO)(PPh3)2Cl] with the sodium salt of (1S, 2R, 5S)-menthol (NaOMent) cleanly affords chiral rhodium carbonyl alkoxo complex, [Rh(CO)(PPh3)2OMent], which was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The similar reaction of [Rh(PPh3) 3Cl] with NaOMent leads to the formation of [Rh(PPh 3)3H], apparently due to fast decomposition of the intermediate rhodium phosphine alkoxo complex via beta-H elimination. The reaction of [Rh(PPh3)3Cl] with NaOAr in toluene cleanly affords the corresponding aryloxo complexes [Rh(PPh3) 3(OAr)] (4.1). In solution 4.1 exists in equilibrium with PPh3 and the corresponding [Rh(PPh3)2(pi-OAr)] (4.2) The addition of HOAr shifts the equilibrium completely toward the corresponding adducts 4.2 · 2HOAr due to hydrogen bonding between the oxygen atom of the pi-coordinated OAr ligand and two molecules of HOAr.

Bitexte, bi-concordance et collocation.

Subjects: subject: Language, Linguistics.

description: Corpus analysis has become an essential part of unilingual lexicography and its usefulness has been shown time and again. Unfortunately, few researchers have actually written about the usefulness of bilingual corpora in bilingual lexicography, perhaps because bitext and bilingual concordancers are still quite new and quite rare. This thesis will try to bridge the gap. In writing this thesis, we had two main objectives: to show the importance of bilingual corpora in bilingual lexicography and to design a program that extracts collocations and their possible translations. We will thus highlight the role and usefulness of corpora--and of bilingual corpora in particular--in bilingual lexicography first by clarifying the terminology and then by showing how unilingual and bilingual corpora are used differently. The second part of the thesis deals with the automatic extraction of collocations from a bitext. We will show how biconcordancers can be useful in extracting collocations, present two programs specially designed to extract collocations and propose a method to automatically extract collocations from bitext. Finally, we will compare our results to those extracted by software that already exists.

description: Background: Blood has proven to be a useful resource for molecular analysis in numerous biomedical studies, with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and whole blood being the major specimen types. However, comparative analyses between these two major compartments (PBMCs and whole blood) are few and far between. In this study, we compared gene expression profiles of PBMCs and whole blood samples obtained from research subjects with or without mild allergic asthma. Methods: Whole blood (PAXgene) and PBMC samples were obtained from 5 mild allergic asthmatics and 5 healthy controls. RNA from both sample types was measured for expression of 730 immune-related genes using the NanoString nCounter platform. Results: We identified 64 uniquely expressed transcripts in whole blood that reflected a variety of innate, humoral, and adaptive immune processes, and 13 uniquely expressed transcripts in PBMCs which were representative of T-cell and monocyte-mediated processes. Furthermore, analysis of mild allergic asthmatics versus non-asthmatics revealed 47 differentially expressed transcripts in whole blood compared to 1 differentially expressed transcript in PBMCs (FDR < 0.25). Finally, through simultaneous measurement of PBMC proteins on the nCounter assay, we identified CD28 and OX40 (TNFRSF4), both of which are critical co-stimulatory molecules during T-cell activation, as significantly upregulated in asthmatics. Conclusions: Whole blood RNA preserved in PAXgene tubes is excellent for producing gene expression data with minimal variability and good sensitivity, suggesting its utility in multi-centre studies requiring measurement of blood gene expression.

Das Umweltbundesamt hat seit den 1980er-Jahren Instrumente für einesystematische Umweltbeobachtung entwickelt, insbesondere ein Informationssystem,das 2012 technisch erneuert und in einer Weise generalisiert wurde, die es auch für denbetrieblichen Einsatz geeignet erscheinen lässt. Dieser Beitrag beschreibt die Unterstützungder einzelnen Prozessschritte Probenplanung, Probenahme und Einlagerung, Ergänzungvon Analysedaten aus dem Labor sowie spätere Auswertungen. Ein Schwerpunkt ist dieKonfiguration der Stammdaten und Probenahmepläne in einfachen Dialogen. Hierbeiwerden Humanproben und Spezies aus verschiedenen Ökosystemtypen, aber auchUmweltmedien wie Boden, Wasser, Schwebstoff, Luft oder Feinstaub unterstützt. Bei derProbenahme können Beobachtungen und Messungen der Probanden erfasst werden,z. B. Biometrie oder Anamnese, aber auch Randbedingungen aller Art. Durch langjährigeProbenserien entsteht so ein Archiv der Umweltbelastungen, das flexibel nach aktuellenGesichtspunkten ausgewertet werden kann. Die dauerhafte Lagerung des Probenmaterialsermöglicht weiterhin ein retrospektives Monitoring, also die Analyse zurückliegenderProben mit aktuellen Methoden und Fragestellungen.

description: In this contribution Arnaldo Pomodoro outlines the story of his plan for  new cemetery in Urbino (1973). It was an example of  a “dug cemetery”  which applied the typical poetry of this famous artist to the landscape  and to the soil by means of paths and tombs excavated as a furrow under  the ground level. The following text traces the reasons for the missed  realization of this work and mentions the protagonists of the debate  that this plan animated in Italy between 1977 and 1980.(abstract edited by Luigi Bartolomei)
description: Con questo contributo Arnaldo Pomodoro ripercorre la vicenda  del suo progetto per il Cimitero di Urbino, 1973. Esso fu un esempio di “cimitero di scavo”, che applicava la poetica tipica dell'autore al paesaggio e alla terra con percorsi e tombe scavate come un solco sotto il livello di campagna. Il testo rintraccia le ragioni della mancata realizzazione dell'opera e i protagonisti del dibattito che il progetto animò in Italia tra il 1977 e il 1980.(abstract a cura di Luigi Bartolomei)

description: This paper that the Architect Paolo Zermani wrote on the occasion of our conference, is articulated in three different parts. The first one is the premise to the presentation of two different realizations which has been selected from the wide designing activity of the architect. In the premises the author wants to emphasize the “Liminality” of sacred space, that is its being “in limine”, between sky and earth, material limits of a deeper symbolical meaning between physic and metaphysics, evocative material elements and the “heaven of heavens” in St Augustine's works.The architectural type still stays at the intersection of these meanings, in the synthesis between West and Est produced by Roman Culture and signified by the symbol of the Cross.The role of landscape in architectural composition is exemplified in two different projects: Sansepolcro Cemetery and the New Crematory Temple in Parma. The first one is budded in the hill landscape described by Piero della Francesta, the second one is set in the meshes of Latin “limitatio”, close to Valera, designing a sacred fence and a new altar for the town of Parma.(abstract edited by Luigi Bartolomei)
description: Il testo che l’architetto Paolo Zermani propone per questo convegno si articola in tre parti. La prima è premessa ai due esempi proposti dalla propria vasta attività di progettista. Si tratta di mettere a sbalzo la liminalità dello spazio sacro, ossia il suo costruirsi al limite tra terra e cielo, confine materiale di più ampia significanza simbolica, tra fisica e metafisica, tra elementi evocativi, comunque materiali, e il “cielo dei cieli” di cui parla Agostino.  Intersezione di queste valenze è ancora il tipo architettonico, nella sintesi tra oriente ed occidente offerta dalla cultura romana e dalla forma della croce.Il significato del paesaggio nella composizione dell’architettura è esemplificato nella descrizione di due progetti: il Cimitero di Sansepolcro e il Nuovo Tempio per la Cremazione di Parma, il primo innestato nel Paesaggio Collinare di Piero della Francesca, il secondo incastonato nelle maglie della Limitatio Romana della pianura padana in prossimità di Valera, recinto sacro e nuovo altare della città di Parma.(abstract a cura di Luigi Bartolomei)

description: Marrubium vulgare L. leaves have long been recognised in Moroccan traditional medicine for their effectiveness in managing pain and inflammation. However, their potential is in treating peripheral neuropathic pain. This study aimed to investigate the effects of M. vulgare aqueous extract (AEMV) on peripheral neuropathic pain induced by chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve in mice. This research represents the first exploration of AEMV’s therapeutic potential in neuropathic pain management. AEMV was initially analysed using HPLC MS/MS to identify its predominant compound, Marrubiin. Mice underwent CCI surgery to induce neuropathic pain. AEMV was administered orally and Clomipramine served as a positive control. Chronic administration of AEMV significantly attenuated thermal, mechanical, and cold sensitivity induced by CCI. It also promoted functional and histological recovery of the sciatic nerve.

description: Pollen profiles from two lakes, Tawny Pond (44°48’59”N, 77°10’54”W, 276m) and Stoll Lake (44°58’16”N, 77°17’22”W,303m) in Addington Highlands, eastern Ontario, Canada were analyzed to understand the effects of late-Holocene climate change and European settlement on eastern Ontario’s forests. Both lakes were analyzed at high temporal resolution and record vegetation dynamics over the last 1000 years. Throughout the past 1000 years, Pinus, Tsuga, Betula, Quercus, Acer and Fagus were the dominant taxa in the pollen record. The pollen records show vegetation response in relation to the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age. From 970-1200 AD the forest was dominated by hemlock, beech and maple trees. From 1200-1870 AD the forest composition changed as pine and boreal trees became more abundant and/or had increased relative pollen production. Most recently, since 1870 AD, herbaceous plants (weeds) increased, whereas softwoods decreased and hardwoods increased, due to landscape changes associated with European settlement. These results show that high resolution studies of unvarved lakes, with an appropriate chronology, can detect multi-decadal climate variability. This thesis was also concerned with making management suggestions to the forestry community. Future climate change will likely create a forest composition more similar to that of the Medieval Warm Period than the time of European colonization, and thus should be the basis for forest planning.

description: ABSTRACT Mast cells are important tissue‐resident sensor and effector immune cells but also play a major role in osteoporosis development. Mast cells are increased in numbers in the bone marrow of postmenopausal osteoporotic patients, and mast cell–deficient mice are protected from ovariectomy (OVX)‐induced bone loss. In this study, we showed that mast cell–deficient Mcpt5‐Cre R‐DTA mice were protected from OVX‐induced disturbed fracture healing, indicating a critical role for mast cells in the pathomechanisms of impaired bone repair under estrogen‐deficient conditions. We revealed that mast cells trigger the fracture‐induced inflammatory response by releasing inflammatory mediators, including interleukin‐6, midkine (Mdk), and C‐X‐C motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10), and promote neutrophil infiltration into the fracture site in OVX mice. Furthermore, mast cells were responsible for reduced osteoblast and increased osteoclast activities in OVX mice callus, as well as increased receptor activator of NF‐κB ligand serum levels in OVX mice. Additional in vitro studies with human cells showed that mast cells stimulate osteoclastogenesis by releasing the osteoclastogenic mediators Mdk and CXCL10 in an estrogen‐dependent manner, which was mediated via the estrogen receptor alpha on mast cells. In conclusion, mast cells negatively affect the healing of bone fractures under estrogen‐deficient conditions. Hence, targeting mast cells might provide a therapeutic strategy to improve disturbed bone repair in postmenopausal osteoporosis. © 2021 The Authors.

description: Interventions involving exercise and diet can reduce type 2 diabetes progression, yet they are often short-lived. Progressing toward self-managed maintenance is also challenging. If supports are in place to help individuals with behavior changes beyond immediate programming, individuals are more likely to maintain these changes. This is particularly the case for women, who often have struggle to maintain these changes and can benefit from social support. Small Steps for Big Changes is a 3-week counselling program housed within a local YMCA that aims to help people make exercise and diet changes. To understand how to best support women in maintaining these changes beyond program delivery, a knowledge-sharing event was held for 14 women who completed the intervention. The women engaged in one focus group to share challenges experienced in making diet and exercise changes and recommendations for continued support. Data were analyzed using a thematic analysis and three recommendation areas were identified: (a) establishing peer support networks, (b) creating platforms to communicate prediabetes-related information, and (c) providing ongoing trainer support. Several recommendations have been implemented to support these women, and other individuals, post program. This case provides insights and recommendations for integration of initiatives beyond delivery a behavior change program housed in a community organization.

description: We present a sample of 1777 bright (9 < B < 14) metal-poor candidates selected from the Hamburg/ESO Survey (HES). Despite saturation effects present in the red portion of the HES objective-prism spectra, the data were recoverable and quantitative selection criteria could be applied to select the sample. Analyses of medium-resolution (~2 Å) follow-up spectroscopy of the entire sample, obtained with several 2-4 m class telescopes, yielded 145 new metal-poor stars with metallicity [Fe/H] < -2.0, of which 79 have [Fe/H] < -2.5 and 17 have [Fe/H] < -3.0. We also obtained C/Fe estimates for all of these stars. From this, we find a frequency of C-enhanced ([C/Fe] > 1.0) metal-poor ([Fe/H] < -2.0) giants of 9% ± 2%, which is lower than previously reported. However, the frequency rises to similar (>20%) and higher values with increasing distance from the Galactic plane. Although the numbers of stars at low metallicity are falling rapidly at the lowest metallicities, there is evidence that the fraction of carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars is increasing rapidly as a function of declining metallicity. For ~60 objects, high-resolution data have already been obtained; one of these, HE 1327-2326, is the new record holder for the most iron-deficient star known.

A photoluminescence study of intermixed III/V semiconductor quantum well structures.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Physics, Condensed Matter.

description: Vacancy enhanced compositional mixing of quantum well (QW) structures induced by ion beam implantation has shown itself to be a useful technique for achieving spatially selective tuning of the QW bandgap. As QWs form the active region of most optoelectronic devices, this method is being actively pursued as a means of monolithically integrating many such components onto a single substrate. This work presents a novel variation on this technique allowing one to deliver several times the maximum QW bandgap shift traditionally attributed to a single implant/RTA (rapid thermal anneal) cycle. This is achieved by distributing the total implanted ion dose over multiple sequential ion implantation and RTA cycles. Continuous-wave photoluminescence (CWPL) measurements are used to monitor the extent of QW intermixing taking place, and demonstrate the success of this innovation in various material systems (GaAs/AlGaAs, InGaAs/GaAs, InGaAs/InP). In another experiment, the effectiveness of high energy (8 MeV As$\sp{4+})$ implantation in intermixing GRINSCH (graded-index separate confinement heterostructure) QW laser structures grown in InGaAs/GaAs was demonstrated. Preliminary investigations were carried out on the effects of sample temperature, and ion current density during implantation on the intermixed QWs. Results from CWPL measurements suggest that better quality intermixed material can be obtained by implanting at elevated sample temperatures, and low ion current densities. Finally the effect of ion implantation induced intermixing on the effective radiative lifetimes in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells is investigated using the technique of time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL). Below the critical dose (required to initiate disordering), the carrier lifetimes appear enhanced by the processing although no changes are discernible in the CWPL spectra. Above the critical dose, carrier lifetimes are reduced by residual defects created in the intermixed wells by the implantation procedure. These observations reflect the greater sensitivity of TRPL in detecting residual damage produced by intermixing QW material over CWPL.
Rozaria's memories

description: The urge to write Rozaria's memories surfaced with much urgency that I set about the story, seeking to demystify tradition, to claim it before it could further diminish. The writing was brave, fraught with panic. I questioned over and over how my family would receive it, in particular some naked truths. What structure or direction might the narrative take? Scattered stories; whose story? In snipping it to personal history from the eyes of my maternal grandmother on her deathbed, I was able to uncloak Rozaria's story. I mended it, fabricated it, created my own pattern, decorated it with detail and wore it as mine. Her story became my story. I had created a brand new design from the original. According to Donna Lee Brien, biographers recognise that they collect data to yarn stories removed from the disorder and complexity of real life, now neatly packaged in literary form (2014: §2). A good biographer is like a seamstress, an artisan who creates. Recollection is patched, darned, colour-matched. Rozaria's memories remains a cathartic story whose significance grew manifold after the writing with the deaths of key players. Like any biography, there is still room to expand, to develop. But in its simplicity, this written artefact is my metaphor for life.

description: The architectural firm Amoretti Calvi  is a planning and design studio whose works are characterized by an essential style obtained by the union of basic forms and elegant materials, in tune with each specific location.  The formal choices as well as the compositional rigour of designs take inspiration by the surrounding context, obtaining spatial solutions which are in constant dialogue with the environment.According to the Studio's stance, Cemeteries expansions are a special occasion to show the cemetery's design as the specular activity of town planning and design: widening existing structures – creating cemeterial suburbs – means strengthening the identity of the relationship between existing places and new ones where individual memory becomes part of the collective  mind and where the living can remember the dead. The quality of this space will be a balance between the functional choices and the formal elements of each constitutive part.

Le scelte formali ed il rigore compositivo delle opere traggono ispirazione dal contesto disegnando soluzioni spaziali in costante dialogo con l’ambiente.Gli ampliamenti cimiteriali rappresentano per lo Studio l’occasione in cui dare forma alla visione della progettazione del cimitero come attività speculare alla progettazione della città: ampliare strutture esistenti – creare periferie cimiteriali - significa costruire un nuovo rapporto identitario tra ciò che è ed i nuovi spazi dove la memoria individuale diventa parte dell’immaginario collettivo, dove i vivi possono ricordare i morti in un ambiente di qualità definito dalla costante sinergia tra scelte funzionali e formali.

description: Purpose: This study intends to establish a study protocol for the quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) measurement of biochemical changes in knee cartilage induced by mechanical stress during alpine skiing with the implementation of new spring-loaded ski binding. Methods: The MRI-knee-scans (T2*-mapping) of four skiers using a conventional and a spring-loaded ski binding system, alternately, were acquired before and after 1 h/4 h of exposure to alpine skiing. Intrachondral T2* analysis on 60 defined regions of interest in the femorotibial knee joint (FTJ) was conducted. Intra- and interobserver variability and relative changes in the cartilage T2* signal and thickness were calculated. Results: A relevant decrease in the T2* time after 4 h of alpine skiing could be detected at the majority of measurement times. After overnight recovery, the T2* time increased above baseline. Although, the total T2* signal in the superficial cartilage layers was higher than that in the lower ones, no differences between the layers in the T2* changes could be detected. The central and posterior cartilage zones of the FTJ responded with a stronger T2* alteration than the anterior zones. Conclusions: For the first time, a quantitative MRI study setting could be established to detect early knee cartilage reaction due to alpine skiing. Relevant changes in the T2* time and thus in the intrachondral collagen microstructure and the free water content were observed.
Le rôle des médias dans la formation des réformes du système d'immigration : 2008-2012

description: Depuis l'arrivée au pouvoir du gouvernement conservateur de Stephen Harper, les réformes du système migratoire se sont succédées les unes après les autres. C'est d'abord au ministre Jason Kenney à qui le premier ministre a confié la tâche de réformer en accéléré le système d'immigration canadien. En poste entre 2008 et 2013, il a procédé à une quantité importante de réformes. Cela constitue un tournant dans l'histoire politique canadienne. Pour mieux comprendre les politiques publiques en immigration, cette thèse se penche sur le rôle et l'influence exercée par les médias sur les réformes de 2010 et de 2012, de leur présentation devant le Parlement à leur adoption. Souvent laissés de côté par les spécialistes de l'immigration, la thèse reconnaît que les médias sont l'un des facteurs externes ayant eu un effet sur la politique d'immigration pendant l'ère Kenney. Leur influence s’exerce à un moment précis. Lors de l’étude des réformes devant le Parlement, les médias exercent une influence non négligeable grâce à leur habileté à sensibiliser le public sur certains sujets précis et par la suite en guidant son jugement, dominant ainsi l’ordre du jour des affaires publiques.
RE-SIGNIFICATIONS. The extension of the monumental cemetery in Lugo
RISIGNIFICAZIONI. L’ampliamento del cimitero monumentale di Lugo

description: The issue of re-signification is explored starting from the design for Lugo's Cemetery (Ra) new expansion. The request for a specular duplication of the existing enclosure around a drain in the surrounding countryside, raised the question of the new facility identity. The new plan refers to the monumentality of the old structure and of its subsequent expansions, by establishing a relationship of continuity and avoiding codified categories. Therefore neither mimesi nor antithesis, but rather synthesis of  surrounding reality: the countryside, the gap with the town and the existing cemetery in its various identities. It is just this identity which is re-signified not by a further addiction of a new architectural image, but by drawing a series of close relationships with the context.
description: Il tema della risignificazione viene indagato a partire dal progetto per l’ampliamento del cimitero di Lugo (Ra). La richiesta di duplicazione speculare del recinto esistente rispetto a un canale di scolo delle campagne circostanti ha posto il problema dell’identità del nuovo impianto. L’intervento si rapporta alla monumentalità dell’impianto storico e ai suoi successivi ampliamenti stabilendo una relazione di continuità e non utilizzando tipologie codificate. Non mimesi o antitesi, quindi, ma sintesi rispetto alle realtà circostanti che influenzano il  nuovo impianto: la campagna, la smagliatura della città ed il cimitero esistente con le sue varie identità. Questa viene risignificata non proponendo una ulteriore addizione di una nuova immagine architettonica predefinita ma disegnando una serie di rapporti con le prossimità.

IRF2BP2, a Novel Transcriptional Regulator of Innate Immunity, Cholesterol Metabolism and Atherosclerosis

description: Introduction: Increased activation of inflammatory pathways is associated with elevated metabolic stress, which leads to a constellation of metabolic pathologies like fatty liver, insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. Interferon regulatory factor 2 binding protein 2 (IRF2BP2) is a novel transcription co-factor that binds to and inhibits two main pro-inflammatory transcription factors, IRF2 and NFAT1. IRF2BP2 genetic variants are also linked to increased human serum cholesterol level in GWAS studies. Therefore, we hypothesized that IRF2BP2 may inhibit macrophage polarization to pro-inflammatory phenotype and considering the remarkable overlap between inflammatory and metabolic sensors, alter their metabolic function. We sought to determine if specific ablation IRF2BP2 in the mouse myeloid lineage (IRF2BP2MKO) leads to development of metabolic symptoms and alters the risk of atherosclerosis. Results: Our results indicate that IRF2BP2 ablation impairs macrophage polarization to the anti-inflammatory phenotype. IRF2BP2MKO bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM) show increased oxidized LDL-cholesterol uptake and decreased cholesterol efflux. Also, mice with specific ablation of IRF2BP2 in macrophages are more susceptible to obesity, insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis compared to control mice, when fed high fat diet (HFD). However, LDLR-/- mice transplanted with IRF2BP2MKO bone marrow demonstrate similar extent of atherosclerotic lesions compared to LDLR-/- mice transplanted with control bone marrow, reflecting increased IRF2BP2MKO macrophage apoptosis. Conclusion: In conclusion, this is the first study to identify the metabolic and inflammatory functions of IRF2BP2 protein in macrophages, with important implications in metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis.

description: In 1915 E.G. Asplund and S. Lewerentz won the Competition for the Enlargement of the South Cemetery in Stockholm. The long and complex series of events leading to the creation of the cemetery in phases began at that point and continued for the whole period of the two architects’ professional activity. When, in 1921, the cemetery authority entrusted Lewerentz with the task of creating the second of the minor chapels - later called the Chapel of Resurrection - the young architect decided to place a classical temple, built of white stone, at the end of the Way of the Seven Wells, the long straight path cut out of the high, dark mass of forest and coming from the Meditation Grove. Lewerentz envisioned a so-called chapel of passage, meaning that the death is not an end point but rather a gateway toward a new dimension.
description: Nel 1915 E.G. Asplund e S. Lewerentz vincono il Concorso per l’ampliamento del Cimitero Sud di Stoccolma. Da questo momento comincia la lunga e complessa vicenda che porta alla realizzazione per fasi del cimitero, che prosegue durante l’intera attività professionale dei due architetti. Quando nel 1921 l’autorità cimiteriale affida a Lewerentz l’incarico di realizzare la seconda delle cappelle minori - in seguito denominata Cappella della Resurrezione - il giovane architetto decide di collocare un tempio classico, costruito in pietra bianca, alla fine della Via delle Sette Fonti, il lungo cammino rettilineo ritagliato nella massa alta e scura della foresta, che proviene dalla Collina della Meditazione. Lewerentz concepisce una cappella-passaggio, per mostrare come la morte non vada intesa come punto di arrivo, ma piuttosto come un varco verso una nuova dimensione.
