description: L’articolo focalizza l’attenzione sui bisogni linguistici e comunicativi specifici degli allievi nativi e immigrati, al fine di evidenziare alcuni suggerimenti che è possibile trarne sul piano dell’educazione linguistica, intesa nel senso dell’insegnamento rivolto allo sviluppo e al potenziamento delle abilità linguistico-comunicative, ma anche metalinguistiche, svolto trasversalmente dai docenti di discipline linguistiche e non.  Tenendo conto di principi e suggerimenti emersi dalla riflessione glottodidattica e linguistica degli ultimi decenni si forniscono criteri in base ai quali i docenti possono rilevare i bisogni linguistici dei loro allievi, bisogni che si correlano a valenze di carattere comunicativo, pragmatico, espressivo e culturale-matetico, ma che sono anche di natura sociale, relazionale e affettiva, identitaria e psicologica oltre che cognitiva.

The article focuses on the specific linguistic and communicative needs of native and immigrant pupils, in order to draw attention to inspiration  that can be gained for general linguistic education, seen as teaching that aims to develop and strengthen linguistic-communicative abilities but also meta-linguistic ones – teaching that is carried out not only by teachers of language but also those of other subjects. Taking into account the principles and inspiration emerging from glottodidactic and linguistic reflections over the past ten years, criteria are provided according to which teachers can identify the linguistic needs of their pupils; these are needs that are inter-correlated in terms of communicative, pragmatic, expressive and cultural-learning needs, but are also of a social, relational, affective and psychological nature and connected with identity.

description: This deliverable is the first report of the LUMEN project. It sets out a clear framework for coordinating the project and provides a comprehensive assessment of the risks identified after two months of running the project.

The LUMEN project brings together 20 organisations from 10 different countries, involving around 90 people. Its main objective is to enhance cross-disciplinary collaboration by improving two existing platforms and developing two new ones through the creation of a White Label software system. This system will be designed for reuse, enabling the creation of Discovery Platforms for various scientific domains, ensuring adaptability and scalability. All four platforms will be integrated within a federated and interoperable Data Mesh architecture, allowing researchers across different disciplines to seamlessly access, share, and enrich research data and outputs. By bringing together domain-specific communities and technical partners, LUMEN aims to create a sustainable, scalable ecosystem that fosters interoperability, openness, and cross-domain knowledge exchange.

A key challenge for LUMEN is to ensure the effective uptake of the tools developed. In particular, the project partners will work to ensure compatibility with EOSC, the long-term sustainability of the business model and effective communication with the scientific community.

This deliverable clarifies the project governance structure, communication channels, information sharing methods and procedures for publishing deliverables and milestones, as well as the organisation for regular reporting of each partner's activities. It also includes a detailed risk analysis and outlines measures to mitigate potential problems.

A detailed description of the operational framework of the project, a SWOT analysis and a comprehensive risk matrix are the main outputs of this deliverable.

To achieve its results, LUMEN has drawn on best practices from existing European projects and adapted them to the specific context of the project. Input has been sought from the WP leaders and the technical and scientific coordination teams to ensure that the document reflects the diverse needs of the project.

Improved Limits on $B^{0}$ decays to invisible $(+γ)$ final states
Creators: name: The BABAR Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We establish improved upper limits on branching fractions for B0 decays to final States 10 where the decay products are purely invisible (i.e., no observable final state particles) and for final states where the only visible product is a photon. Within the Standard Model, these decays have branching fractions that are below the current experimental sensitivity, but various models of physics beyond the Standard Model predict significant contributions for these channels. Using 471 million BB pairs collected at the Y(4S) resonance by the BABAR experiment at the PEP-II e+e- storage ring at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, we establish upper limits at the 90% confidence level of 2.4x10^-5 for the branching fraction of B0-->Invisible and 1.7x10^-5 for the branching fraction of B0-->Invisible+gamma

Per una educazione linguistica trasversale: la sfida della competenza multilingue.

Year: 2009

description: Insegnare e apprendere più lingue in un curricolo consente di sviluppare una competenza comunicativa plurilingue e pluriculturale: una multicompetenza che, sulla base dell’interdipendenza tra apprendimenti linguistici (L1, L2, Ln …), implica un trasferimento di conoscenze, abilità e convinzioni/atteggiamenti tra le lingue. L’integrazione tra apprendimenti presuppone però un’integrazione tra insegnamenti, ossia una cultura della scuola e della classe basata sulla collaborazione – una condivisione e negoziazione di teorie, metodologie e prassi che rinnovi la sfida di un’educazione linguistica trasversale.

Learning and teaching several languages in a curriculum allows the development of a plurilingual and pluricultural communicative competence: a multicompetence based on the interdependence of language learning (L1, L2, Ln …), which implies a transfer of knowledge, abilities and beliefs/attitudes between languages. Integrating different language learning experiences, however, involves integrating teaching experiences, i.e. a school and class culture based on collaboration – sharing and negotiating theories, methodologies and practices as a way to reaffirm a cross-curricular view of language education.

Efficacy of common disinfectant/cleaning agents in inactivating murine norovirus and feline calicivirus as surrogate viruses for human norovirus
Creators: name: Chiu, Stephanie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Background/Objectives: Norovirus, a major cause of foodborne gastrointestinal infection, cannot be propagated in cell culture. Limited information exists on the effectiveness of disinfectants and cleaning agents. The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of common types of disinfectants/cleaning agents used in health care facilities in British Columbia on surrogate viruses, murine norovirus (MNV-1) and feline calicivirus (FCV). Sodium hypochlorite, accelerated hydrogen peroxide (AHP) and a quaternary ammonium compound (QUAT) were assessed. Methods: A virus suspension of known concentration (with or without a soil load) was deposited onto stainless steel discs under wet or dry load conditions and exposed to defined concentrations of the disinfectant/cleaning agent for 1, 5 or 10 minute contact time using the quantitative carrier test (QCT-2) method. Virus inactivation was determined by plaque assay. Results: Sodium hypochlorite at 1350 ppm inactivated MNV-1 after 5 minutes with a ~5.5 to 6.5 log₁₀ reduction, whereas it took twice as long to inactivate the FCV with ~4.6 to 5.6 log₁₀ reduction. After 5 minutes, 2700 ppm of sodium hypochlorite was able to inactivate MNV-1 and FCV. Accel at 35000 ppm AHP inactivated MNV-1 after 10 minutes with a ~5.6 to 6.5 log₁₀ reduction, whereas at 3500 ppm, FCV was inactivated by a ~5 log₁₀ reduction. CaviCide at 2800 ppm QUAT and Virox 5 at 5000 ppm AHP were unable to inactivate MNV-1. T³6 at 2000 ppm QUAT and 70 % ethanol was effective in inactivating MNV-1 with a >6 log₁₀ reduction after 5 minutes, but only resulted in a <3 log₁₀ reduction of FCV after 10 minutes. Conclusions: The results have demonstrated that sodium hypochlorite at 1350 ppm after 10 minutes or 2700 ppm at shorter contact times of 5 minutes was more effective in reducing the viral load of both MNV-1 and FCV on stainless steel surfaces than ready-to-use AHP and QUAT products. Concentrated AHP products were only effective against MNV-1 when used at a concentration of 35000 ppm for 10 minutes. QUATs without ethanol were ineffective against both surrogate viruses and are therefore not indicated for disinfecting environmental surfaces contaminated with norovirus.

description: Nella prima parte dell’articolo si dimostra, attraverso i risultati di una ricerca sul campo, la scarsa competenza lessicale dei giovani laureati e, ancor più, dei giovani diplomati, con riferimento a parole dell’uso comune; si mette in risalto l’imprecisione e la diffusa indeterminatezza delle definizioni richieste e se ne discutono le cause, sia contingenti che di lungo periodo. Nella seconda parte, alla ricerca di cause riconducibili a responsabilità della scuola, si sposta l’attenzione sull’insegnamento-apprendimento del lessico nella scuola primaria, e in particolare del lessico tecnico-scientifico, e si documenta la scarsissima attenzione per la progressione dell’apprendimento lessicale nel libro di testo per la quarta classe più diffuso. Si conclude richiamando l’attenzione degli insegnanti sul momento della scelta del libro di testo, importante se non determinante proprio, specificamente,  per l’incremento della competenza lessicale.

The first part of the article demonstrates, through the results of field research, the poor lexical competences of young graduates and to an even greater extent of young school leavers, in terms of commonly used words; the inaccuracy and general vagueness of the definitions asked for is emphasized and contingent and long-term causes, are discussed.   In the second part, in search of causes that might prove to be the responsibility of schools, the attention shifts to the teaching/learning of lexis in primary schools, in particular, of technical-scientific lexis, and proof is given of the scarce attention paid to the progressive learning of vocabulary in the most widely used textbook for the fourth year.  In the conclusion the teachers’ attention is drawn to the choice of textbook, important if not decisive for the specific improvement of lexical competence.

Onset of Synchronization in Complex Networks of Noisy Oscillators

description: We study networks of noisy phase oscillators whose nodes are characterized by a random degree counting the number of its connections. Both these degrees and the natural frequencies of the oscillators are distributed according to a given probability density. Replacing the randomly connected network by an all-to-all coupled network with weighted edges, allows us to formulate the dynamics of a single oscillator coupled to the mean field and to derive the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation. From the latter we calculate the critical coupling strength for the onset of synchronization as a function of the noise intensity, the frequency distribution and the first two moments of the degree distribution. Our approach is applied to a dense small-world network model, for which we calculate the degree distribution. Numerical simulations prove the validity of the made replacement. We also test the applicability to more sparsely connected networks and formulate homogeneity and absence of correlations in the degree distribution as limiting factors of our approach.

Non solo quotidiani in classe: considerazioni sull’italiano dei mass media.
Creators: name: Morgana, Silvia
Publisher: name: Italiano LinguaDue
Year: 2009

description: L’articolo suggerisce che la scuola, sede dell’educazione linguistica,  deve insegnare a riflettere sulla ‘norma implicita’ dei media, a cui i ragazzi sono esposti quotidianamente  nel mondo extrascolastico. La formazione di capacità critiche rispetto alla lingua veicolata dai media può avere come punto di partenza l’esperienza del quotidiano in classe alle superiori, che oggi coinvolge più di  44.000 docenti e quasi un milione e ottocentomila studenti. L’osservazione di fenomeni innovativi rispetto all’italiano standard descritto dalle grammatiche, la riflessione sulle varietà e sul dilagare della dimensione orale nello scritto, il riconoscimento di tendenze ‘trasversali’ che coinvolgono diversi ambiti testuali, possono fornire validi strumenti  alla pratica didattica.  Ma tutto il sistema massmediatico  oggi punta alla complementarietà, ai rimandi  tra i vari media, con passaggi continui: i giornali dalla Tv e dal web,  il cinema dal fumetto, il fumetto dal cinema, la pubblicità dal fumetto. Appare allora importante l’esigenza di introdurre nella pratica scolastica anche la capacità di riflettere sulla lingua di altri media che entrano nella esperienza quotidiana giovanile, come il fumetto.

The article suggests that school, the place of linguistic education, should teach pupils to reflect on the ‘norma implicita’ of the media, to which young people are exposed every day outside school.  The development of critical faculties to apply to the vehicled language of the media can take as its starting point the experience of reading newspapers in class at upper secondary school, something that now involves over 44 000 teachers and almost one million eight hundred thousand students. Observation of innovative features different to the standard Italian described in the grammar books, reflections on the variety and spread of oral registers in writing, the identification of “transversal” elements involving different textual areas, may provide valid tools for practical application in teaching.   But the entire system of mass media nowadays aims at becoming complementary, at cross reference between one medium and another with constant shifts: TV and the worldwide web to newspapers, strip cartoons to the cinema,   the cinema to strip cartoons, strip cartoons to advertising.  It would thus seem to be important for our teaching to introduce the ability to reflect on the language of the other media that enter the daily experience of young people, such as strip cartoons.

description: Nitric oxide (NO) is involved not only in the regulation of plant growth, development, and stress responses but also in the regulation of plant-microbe interactions. Here, we demonstrate that Piriformospora indica can induce tobacco nitrate reductase to produce a NO signal in roots which enhances nitrogen uptake capacity by inducing the expression of ammonium and nitrate transporter genes and the development of lateral root and root hair, thereby promoting tobacco growth. In addition, the NO signal induced by P. indica is significantly different from that induced by the pathogen Phytophthora nicotianae. Inoculation with P. indica did not produce H2O2 and maintained high expression of Phytoglobin 1 in roots, resulting in a significantly lower NO level than in the roots inoculated with P. nicotianae. These findings suggest that an appropriate NO level is the likely basis of plant-P. indica symbiosis, which promotes the growth of host plants.

Malaysian students' well-being

description: The aim of the study was to examine the determinants of well-being in Malaysian students at home and overseas. Prior to the main study, interviews were conducted with seven PhD students of Malaysia studying in Plymouth, to explore their needs and values, and their adaptation experiences in terms of missing and enjoyment experiences abroad. Based on the interview findings and literature reviews, a questionnaire was developed and named as the Adaptation to Life Index, which consisted of two scales - ‘missing experience’ and ‘enjoyment experience’. A longitudinal survey was carried out using Malaysian students in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, the US, Ireland, and Canada as well as students who remained in Malaysia. At Time 1, data were collected from 1118 students who were enrolling at various overseas preparatory studying programmes and 972 first year students in one of the public university in Malaysia who were continuing their education in Malaysia. Measurements used were the Big Five Personality Inventory (John, Donahue, & Kentle, 1991), Schwartz’s Short Value Scale (SSVS) (Lindeman & Verkasalo, 2005; Schwartz, 1992), Positive and Negative Affect Scales (PANAS) (Watson, et al, 1988), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) (Diener, et al., 1985), perceived stress scale (based on the results of Malaysian Certificate of Education and perceived English language fluency), and a section on socio-demographic background. At time 2, 30 % of the participants (N= 628) were retained. Life satisfaction for home students remained constant over time. However, life satisfaction for overseas students started much lower at Time 1 but increased at Time 2. Results showed that life satisfaction at time 1 strongly predicted life satisfaction at Time 2, but neither personality nor values were predicted life satisfaction at Time 2. Personality and values at Time 1 predicted ‘missing experience at Time 2 and in the overseas students, being fluent in English predicted less ‘missing experience’. There were few predictors of Time 1 for ‘enjoyment’ at Time 2, but fluency with English predicted better enjoyment.
Functional renormalization group approach to the Ising-nematic quantum critical point of two-dimensional metals

description: Using functional renormalization group methods, we study an effective low-energy model describing the Ising-nematic quantum critical point in two-dimensional metals. We treat both gapless fermionic and bosonic degrees of freedom on equal footing and explicitly calculate the momentum and frequency dependent effective interaction between the fermions mediated by the bosonic fluctuations. Following earlier work by S.-S. Lee for a one-patch model, Metlitski and Sachdev [Phys. Rev. B {\bf{82}}, 075127] recently found within a field-theoretical approach that certain three-loop diagrams strongly modify the one-loop results, and that the conventional 1/N expansion breaks down in this problem. We show that the singular three-loop diagrams considered by Metlitski and Sachdev are included in a rather simple truncation of the functional renormalization group flow equations for this model involving only irreducible vertices with two and three external legs. Our approximate solution of these flow equations explicitly yields the vertex corrections of this problem and allows us to calculate the anomalous dimension $η_ψ$ of the fermion field.

description: Perfect matchings and maximum weight matchings are two fundamental combinatorial structures. We consider the ratio between the maximum weight of a perfect matching and the maximum weight of a general matching. Motivated by the computer graphics application in triangle meshes, where we seek to convert a triangulation into a quadrangulation by merging pairs of adjacent triangles, we focus mainly on bridgeless cubic graphs. First, we characterize graphs that attain the extreme ratios. Second, we present a lower bound for all bridgeless cubic graphs. Third, we present upper bounds for subclasses of bridgeless cubic graphs, most of which are shown to be tight. Additionally, we present tight bounds for the class of regular bipartite graphs.

description: We search for a direction in the sky that exhibits parity symmetry under reflections through a plane. We use the natural estimator, which compares the power in even and odd $\ell+m$ multipoles, and apply minimal blind masking of outliers to the ILC map in order to avoid large errors in the reconstruction of multipoles. The multipoles of the cut sky are calculated both naively and by using the covariance inversion method and we estimate the significance of our results using $Λ$CDM simulations. Focusing on low multipoles, $2\leq \ell \leq \ell_{\max}$ with $\ell_{\max}=5,6$ or even 7, we find two perpendicular directions of even and odd parity in the map. While the even parity direction does not appear significant, the odd direction is quite significant -- at least a $3.6σ$ effect.

description: We analyze the formation of squeezed states in a condensate of ultracold bosonic atoms confined by a double-well potential. The emphasis is set on the dynamical formation of such states from initially coherent many-body quantum states. Two cases are described: the squeezing formation in the evolution of the system around the stable point, and in the short time evolution in the vicinity of an unstable point. The latter is shown to produce highly squeezed states on very short times. On the basis of a semiclassical approximation to the Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian, we are able to predict the amount of squeezing, its scaling with $N$ and the speed of coherent spin formation with simple analytical formulas which successfully describe the numerical Bose-Hubbard results. This new method of producing highly squeezed spin states in systems of ultracold atoms is compared to other standard methods in the literature.

Possible origins of macroscopic left-right asymmetry in organisms

description: I consider the microscopic mechanisms by which a particular left-right (L/R) asymmetry is generated at the organism level from the microscopic handedness of cytoskeletal molecules. In light of a fundamental symmetry principle, the typical pattern-formation mechanisms of diffusion plus regulation cannot implement the "right-hand rule"; at the microscopic level, the cell's cytoskeleton of chiral filaments seems always to be involved, usually in collective states driven by polymerization forces or molecular motors. It seems particularly easy for handedness to emerge in a shear or rotation in the background of an effectively two-dimensional system, such as the cell membrane or a layer of cells, as this requires no pre-existing axis apart from the layer normal. I detail a scenario involving actin/myosin layers in snails and in C. elegans, and also one about the microtubule layer in plant cells. I also survey the other examples that I am aware of, such as the emergence of handedness such as the emergence of handedness in neurons, in eukaryote cell motility, and in non-flagellated bacteria.

Preliminary lattice study of $σ$ meson decay width
Creators: name: Fu, Ziwen
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We report an exploratory lattice investigation of $σ$ meson decay width using s-wave scattering phase for isospin I=0 pion-pion ($ππ$) system. Rummukainen-Gottlieb formula is used to estimate the scattering phase, which demonstrate the presence of a resonance around $σ$ meson. Using the effective range formula we extract the effective $σ\to ππ$ coupling constant as $g_{σππ} = 2.69(44)$ GeV, which is consistent with theoretical predictions. The estimated decay width is about $236 \pm 49$ MeV. These simulations are carried out on a $16^3\times48$ MILC gauge configuration with the $N_f=2+1$ flavor of the "Asqtad" improved staggered dynamical sea quarks at $ m_π/ m_σ\approx 0.414$ and the lattice spacing $a \approx 0.15$ fm.

description: Reports on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of Mycobacterium leprae, relationship with bacteriological index (BI), and transmission in China are limited. We investigated the emergence of AMR mutations, the relationship between BI and AMR in complete, moderate and lack of BI decline cases, and molecular epidemiological features of AMR cases by enrolling 290 leprosy cases from four endemic provinces. Seven (2.41%), one (0.34%), five (1.72%), one (0.34%), and one (0.34%) strains had single mutations in folP1, rpoC, gyrA, gyrB, and 23S rRNA, respectively. Double mutations in folP1 and gyrA, rpoB and gyrA, and gyrA and 23S rRNA were observed in one (0.34%) strain each. Mutated strains occurred in three out of 81 (95% CI−0.005-0.079, p = 0.083) cases with complete BI decline, in seven out of 103 (95% CI 0.018-0.117, p = 0.008) cases with moderate BI decline, and in four out of 34 (95% CI 0.003-0.231, p = 0.044) cases with lack of BI decline. Most of these mutated strains were geographically separated and diverged genotypically. AMR mutations may not be the main cause of the lack of BI decline. The low transmission of AMR strains at the county level indicates an ongoing transmission at close contact levels.
Adherence to complementary feeding guidelines as a predictor of better health outcomes in infants six to twenty four months of age in Cambodia
Creators: name: Omidakhsh, Negar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Rates of child malnutrition in Cambodia have continued to rise throughout the last ten years despite marginal improvements in food security. After 6 months of age, when complementary feeding often begins, rates of stunting in Cambodia increase from 16% to 42% (CDHS, 2010). Given that the first two years of life are the most important for physical and cognitive development, addressing the health consequences that result from malnutrition is a priority. In the current thesis, I hypothesized that a) infants whose caregivers adhered to at least 80% of Cambodia’s complementary feeding guidelines were less likely to have had diarrhea in the last two weeks, to be anemic or to be stunted and b) infants whose caregivers adhered to at least 80% of the guidelines would have greater dietary diversity than infants whose caregivers did not adhere. To test these hypotheses, I utilized data from a cross sectional survey conducted by The Joint Program for Children, Food Security, and Nutrition in Cambodia. Infant caregivers were defined as adhering to the guidelines if they complied with at least 80% of each one of Cambodia’s five complementary feeding recommendations. I utilized logistic regression to estimate the risk of diarrhea, anemia and stunting among infants whose caregivers adhered compared to those whose caregivers did not adhere to the guidelines. Only 36 (5.1%) caregivers adhered to at least 80% of Cambodia’s complementary feeding guidelines. I did not observe any excess risk for diarrhea in the preceding two weeks, anemia or stunting among infants whose caregivers did not adhere to the feeding guidelines. There was minimal difference in dietary diversity between the two groups. Consumption of meat, grains, legumes, dairy, and vitamin A rich foods varied by at most 13% between infants whose caregivers adhered and did not adhere to the guidelines. My results indicate that the overwhelming majority of families in Cambodia are not adhering to Cambodia’s current complementary feeding guidelines. Furthermore, adherence is not associated with greater dietary diversity or better pediatric health outcomes. Future studies should consider testing the utility of guidelines that incorporate recommendations for dietary diversity to improve health outcomes.
Super Weyl invariance: BPS equations from heterotic worldsheets

description: It is well-known that the beta functions on a string worldsheet correspond to the target space equations of motion, e.g. the Einstein equations. We show that the BPS equations, i.e. the conditions of vanishing supersymmetry variations of the space-time fermions, can be directly derived from the worldsheet. To this end we consider the RNS-formulation of the heterotic string with (2,0) supersymmetry, which describes a complex torsion target space that supports a holomorphic vector bundle. After a detailed account of its quantization and renormalization, we establish that the cancellation of the Weyl anomaly combined with (2,0) finiteness implies the heterotic BPS conditions: At the one loop level the geometry is required to be conformally balanced and the gauge background has to satisfy the Hermitean Yang-Mills equations.
