Flut aus dem Norden, aus dem Süden der Sturm
Creators: name: Heidegger, Patrizia
Publisher: name: Südasien
Year: 2022

description: Das Jahr 2007 war kein gutes Jahr für Bangladesch. Ende Juli traten die Flüsse nach starken Monsunregenfällen über ihre Ufer. Mehrere Wochen stand bis zu einem Drittel des Landes vor allem im Nordosten, Norden und Zentrum unter Wasser. Am 15. November zerstörte der tropische Wirbelsturm „Sidr“ ganze Landstriche in den beiden südlichen Regionen Khulna und Barisal. Rund 4000 Menschen fielen den Fluten und dem Wirbelsturm zum Opfer. Der einzige Lichtblick: Durch gezielte Evakuierungen und zügige humanitäre Hilfe konnte für viele Menschen Schlimmeres verhindert werden.

Elderly Women. Between Risks of Loneliness and Planning for the Future
Creators: name: Carrera, Letizia
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2015
Subjects: elderly women; daily life; welfare

description: The Italian population, in line with what is happening in other Western countries, is becoming increasingly older and older. In addition to the proportion of older people, the significance of being elderly has substantially changed as it is no longer regarded as a mere residual step in adult life, but a real phase of opportunities and possibilities, though also of limitations and difficulties.
It is precisely this sort of growing fluidity that this essay will focus on by trying to reflect on what the variables are that can influence or determine the very different outcomes and situation of the elderly.
The phenomenon of the "third age" is extremely complex and at times even contradictory. In order to investigate this changeable and varied scenario a qualitative investigation was carried out using semi-structured interviews in various towns and cities of Apulia in order to understand the relationship between the perception that older people have of themselves and the characteristics of their daily lives.

Eternal Recurrence of (almost) the Same. Nostalgia in Italian Advertising from Carmencita and Gringo to Jake la Furia
Creators: name: Migliorati, Lorenzo
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2015
Subjects: nostalgia; consumption; advertising

description: The paper sets out to analyse the relationship between past, present, and future as applied to the behaviour of consumption. The favoured approach examines the use of nostalgia in advertising and in several forms of Italian contemporary national popular culture. The hypothesis posits that the emotion of nostalgia acts as a powerful factor in mobilising consumers because it inspires a desire that can speak not only to the past (which is impossible to recover) but also to the future; the latter here is taken as what one could achieve via a consumption which employs the past as a symbolic resource to activate desire. The study delineates three main strategies via which communication makes efficient use of nostalgia: the special dynamic of drawing the subject and object closer together and farther apart, the past’s identity-related function, and the memory’s complex work of interpretation and reconstruction of the past.
The text will examine some specific examples of advertising commercials and mass-media products which demonstrate the emotion of nostalgia’s capacity to mobilise consumers.

description: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic skin disease characterized by recurrent skin inflammation and a weak skin barrier, and is known to be a precursor to other allergic diseases such as asthma. AD affects up to 25% of children worldwide and the incidence continues to rise. There is still uncertainty about the optimal treatment strategy in terms of choice of treatment, potency, duration and frequency. This study aims to develop a computational method to design optimal treatment strategies for the clinically recommended ‘proactive therapy’ for AD. Proactive therapy aims to prevent recurrent flares once the disease has been brought under initial control. Typically, this is done by using an anti-inflammatory treatment such as a potent topical corticosteroid intensively for a few weeks to ‘get control’, followed by intermittent weekly treatment to suppress subclinical inflammation to ‘keep control’. Using a hybrid mathematical model of AD pathogenesis that we recently proposed, we computationally derived the optimal treatment strategies for individual virtual patient cohorts, by recursively solving optimal control problems using a differential evolution algorithm. Our simulation results suggest that such an approach can inform the design of optimal individualized treatment schedules that include application of topical corticosteroids and emollients, based on the disease status of patients observed on their weekly hospital visits. We demonstrate the potential and the gaps of our approach to be applied to clinical settings.

description: A theory is constructed for dense ionic solutions near charged planar walls that is valid for strong inter-ionic correlations. This theory predicts a fluctuation-induced, first-order transition and spontaneous charge density ordering at the interface, in the presence of an otherwise disordered bulk solution. The surface ordering is driven by applied voltage and results in an anomalous differential capacitance, in agreement with recent simulation results and consistent with experimental observations in a wide array of systems. Explicit forms for the charge density profile and capacitance are given. The theory is compared with numerical results for the charge frustrated Ising model, which is also found to exhibit a voltage driven first-order transition.

CHALLENGES FOR PRESENT AND FUTURE COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND OBSERVATIONS: SYSTEMATIC EFFECTS AND FOREGROUND EMISSION IN POLARIZATION
Creators: name: KRACHMALNICOFF, NICOLETTA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2015

description: The study and characterization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarized signal represent, nowadays, one of the most im- portant branches of observational cosmology. In the curl component of the CMB polarization (also known as ?B-modes?) it is thought to be hiding the imprint of primordial gravitational waves generated during the inflationary epoch. The observation of this signal would therefore open the door to the study of the physics of the very early universe. The CMB B-modes signal is extremely faint, at the level of fraction of �K, and sophisticated experiments with high sensitivity are needed to detect it. Moreover, the control of instrumental systematic effects and the characterization of foreground emission represent important challenges for this kind of measurements. In this thesis we investigated these two issues focusing on two specific and explicatory experimental cases. By analyzing the multi-frequency polarized observations of the Planck satellite, we studied the contamination arising from the Galactic foreground emission in the CMB observation carried out by the BICEP2 experiment. We showed how the polarized thermal dust emission dominates over the CMB B-modes signal at frequencies as low as 150 GHz and even at high Galactic latitudes. For what concern the instrumental systematic effects we developed a simulation pipeline for the LSPE (Large Scale Polarization Explorer) low frequency instrument. LSPE is a future balloon-borne experiment, aimed at observing the CMB polarized signal on the very large angular scales. Our pipeline simulates the sky observation of the STRIP instrument allowing to understand the expected scientific performance. The presence of possible sources of instrumental systematic effects is also considered and their expected impact on final scientific results is determined.

description: The antagonist activity of N6-methyl 2′-deoxyadenosine 3′,5′-bisphosphate (N6MABP) has been examined at the phospholipase C-coupled P2Y1 receptor of turkey erythrocyte membranes. N6MABP antagonized 2MeSATP-stimulated inositol phosphate hydrolysis with a potency approximately 20 fold greater than the previously studied parent molecule, adenosine 3′,5′-bisphosphate. The P2Y1 receptor antagonism observed with N6MABP was competitive as revealed by Schild analysis (pKB=6.99±0.13). Whereas N6MABP was an antagonist at the human P2Y1 receptor, no antagonist effect of N6MABP was observed at the human P2Y2, human P2Y4 or rat P2Y6 receptors.

description: 1 The metabolism of extracellular nucleotides plays an important role in nucleotide signalling mediated by P2 receptors. The nucleotide sequence encoding a putative human ecto-ATPase named CD39L1 was reported recently. However, the biological activity of this protein has not been established. 2 Based on the sequence of CD39L1 we isolated from mRNA from human ECV-304 cells a sequence encoding a 495 amino acid protein that is identical to CD39L1, with the exception that this sequence contains a 23 amino acid stretch in the putative extracellular loop that is missing in CD39L1. Partial sequence of a genomic DNA clone indicates that the CD39L1 gene corresponds to an alternative spliced form of the human ecto-ATPase. 3 Stable expression of isolated sequence in NIH-3T3 mouse fibroblasts conferred a marked nucleotide hydrolytic activity consistent with the activity of an ecto-ATPase. 4 The human ecto-ATPase hydrolyzed all naturally occurring nucleoside triphosphates in a Ca(2+)- or Mg(2+)-dependent manner. Nucleoside diphosphates were hydrolyzed at a rate approximately 5% of that of the corresponding triphosphates. The apparent Km and Vmax values were: 394+/-62 microM and 107+/-7 nmol Pi min-1 10(6) cells-1 for the hydrolysis of ATP, and 102+/-33 microM and 4+/-0.4 nmol Pi min-1 10(6) cells-1 for the hydrolysis of ADP, respectively. 5 In conclusion, we report here the cloning and functional expression of a human ecto-ATPase. The study of the biochemical properties and the regulatory mechanisms of ecto-ATPases of defined sequence will be valuable in the definition of their role in nucleotide signalling.
PROPRIETA' DELLA MATERIA SUPERFLUIDA IN PRESENZA DEL RETICOLO NUCLEARE NELLA CROSTA INTERNA DELLE STELLE DI NEUTRONI
Creators: name: GRILL, FABRIZIO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: In this thesis I study three different properties of superfluid nuclear matter in the inner crust of neutron stars, which is formed by nuclear clusters immersed in a superfluid neutron gas and ultrarelativistic electrons. In the first part the cluster structure is calculated in the self-consistent HFB approach at zero temperature. The mean field and the pairing correlations of the inner crust nuclear matter are described, respectively, by a Skyrme-type effective interaction and by a zero range density dependent pairing force. The inner crust matter is treated in the Wigner-Seitz approximation. The properties of the Wigner-Seitz cells, i.e., their neutron to proton ratio and their radius at a given baryonic density, are obtained from the energy minimization at beta equilibrium. We have found that the Wigner-Seitz cells have a much smaller number of protons compared to the previous HF or HF+BCS calculations. In the second part the specific heat of the nuclear matter is calculated with the same HFB formalism used in the first part, but at finite temperature. This study represent a considerable improvement respect to the specific heats that are generally used in the literature on which the superfluid corrections to the specific heat were calculated in the BCS approach and considering the matter as homogeneous neutron gas. Using the HFB approach, in fact, it is possible to calculate directly the specific heat of the nuclear matter considering at the same time the composition, the interaction between particles, the clusters structure and the pairing properties. We have then used this specific heat in the study of the thermalization process in the cooling of a neutron star and we have found that the nuclear clusters have a non-negligible influence on the time evolution of the surface temperature of neutron stars. Finally, in the third part we have used numerical simulations of interaction of vortex with lattice to study the pinning force per unit length that binds a vortex to the nuclear lattice, one of the most important quantities in the vortex model for pulsar glitches, i.e. sudden variation of the rotation velocity of some neutron stars. The forces that we have found are almost two order of magnitude smaller than those reported in the literature and of the same order of those that have been suggested to explain the peculiar behaviour of real pulsar glitches. They can thus be applied in a quantitative model of the vortex dynamics in order to reproduce those phenomena.

description: Entanglement is a key ingredient for quantum technologies and a fundamental signature of quantumness in a broad range of phenomena encompassing many-body physics, thermodynamics, cosmology, and life sciences. For arbitrary multiparticle systems, entanglement quantification typically involves nontrivial optimisation problems, and may require demanding tomographical techniques. Here we develop an experimentally feasible approach to the evaluation of geometric measures of multiparticle entanglement. Our approach provides analytical results for particular classes of mixed states of N qubits, and computable lower bounds to global, partial, or genuine multiparticle entanglement of any general state. For global and partial entanglement, useful bounds are obtained with minimum effort, requiring local measurements in just three settings for any N. For genuine entanglement, a number of measurements scaling linearly with N is required. We demonstrate the power of our approach to estimate and quantify different types of multiparticle entanglement in a variety of N-qubit states useful for quantum information processing and recently engineered in laboratories with quantum optics and trapped ion setups.

A seguito di un'analisi qualitativa, che ha confermato che l'inglese usato nei testi in rete può essere classificato come BELF (inglese commerciale come lingua franca), è stato adottato un approccio che prevede l'ausilio dei corpora per lo studio del sintagma nominale 'our + [membri del l'azienda]'. I risultati hanno rivelato che alcuni aspetti del campo del discorso (Halliday e Hasan, 1989) possono essere interpretati con riferimento al quadro di Hofstede e dunque chiarire ulteriormente il rapporto tra lingua e cultura.

description: We theoretically propose and experimentally demonstrate a nonclassicality test of single-mode field in phase space, which has an analogy with the nonlocality test proposed by Banaszek and Wodkiewicz [Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 2009 (1999)]. Our approach to deriving the classical bound draws on the fact that the Wigner function of a coherent state is a product of two independent distributions as if the orthogonal quadratures (position and momentum) in phase space behave as local realistic variables. Our method detects every pure nonclassical Gaussian state, which can also be extended to mixed states. Furthermore, it sets a bound for all Gaussian states and their mixtures, thereby providing a criterion to detect a genuine quantum non-Gaussian state. Remarkably, our phase-space approach with invariance under Gaussian unitary operations leads to an optimized test for a given non-Gaussian state. We experimentally show how this enhanced method can manifest quantum non-Gaussianity of a state by simply choosing phase-space points appropriately, which is essentially equivalent to implementing a squeezing operation on a given state.

APPROACHES TO THE MOLECULAR BASIS OF GENETIC DISEASES
Creators: name: GAMBA, ALESSIO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2018

description: Throughout my PhD period, I experimented different approaches to a complex problem, that is, assessing molecular basis of genetic diseases. In the present thesis I will show how both experimental and computational techniques can contribute to the study of typical biochemistry topics, providing non-conventional points of view and advanced technical and technological supports. The first part of my PhD was focused on physico-chemical investigation, while the second part was devoted to big-data and network analysis. For this reason my thesis is divided into two chapters. The former describes a typical bottom-up approach. I applied the physical technique of laser light scattering to study the first stages of aggregation of configurational variants of the beta-amyloid peptide, recognized to be either promoting or preventing the Alzheimer Disease, as compared with the wild type peptide. The variants correspond to genetic mutations giving rise to either familial cases of Alzheimer Disease or protection from the pathology. I carried out experiments aimed to assess similarities and differences in the kinetics of evolution of the aggregated species in very dilute solution, mimicking the physiological and pathological conditions. The outcome of this study is the discovery of a correlation between the molecular structure and the physico-chemical behavior, in this case aggregation, constituting the hallmark of the disease. The results obtained have been published in a peer reviewed journal (Biophysical Chemistry), with the title: ?Pathogenic A? A2V versus protective A? A2T mutation: early stage aggregation and membrane interaction? (2017). The latter is a top-down approach. I defined the criteria and developed an algorithm for searching big databases with respect to: a) the clinical features of inherited diseases and b) the proteins that are known to be involved in genetically determined diseases. I established searching criteria aiming at regrouping extracted data according to similarity classes in each database. Then, the developed method involves assessing the existence and degree of similarity within and between different clusters. As a result of this approach, we have discovered a correlation between similarity classes extracted from the different databases (the clinical and the biological), thus establishing or suggesting the existence of a biological basis for a genetic disease. The obtained results have been submitted for publication in a peer reviewed journal with the title: ?The Disease Similarity Networks: Correlating the Clinical and Biological Similarity of Inherited Diseases?, while a second manuscript is currently under preparation. Based on different disciplines, and designed with the typical instruments and methodologies of physics and statistics, both approaches give non-conventional hints for the understanding of the molecular basis of complex genetic diseases.

The algorithm design is based on a two-level parallelization scheme that allows the method to scale its performance in the presence of faster and GPUs as well as multiple GPUs. The set of temperatures is adapted according to the exchange rate observed from short trial runs, leading to an increased exchange rate at zones where the exchange process is sporadic. Performance results show that parallel tempering is an ideal strategy for being implemented on the GPU, and runs between one to two orders of magnitude with respect to a single-core CPU version, with multi-GPU scaling being approximately $99\%$ efficient. The results obtained extend the possibilities of simulation to sizes of $L = 32, 64$ for a workstation with two GPUs.

description: Currently, the increase of food demand of a steadily growing human population is not balanced by a global agricultural supply. As a consequence, crop protection plays a crucial role in maximising crop productivity and preventing losses caused by biological and not biological agents. Biological agents, collectively named as pests, are responsible for quantitative losses ranging from 20 % to 40 %, and qualitative losses, thus reducing the value of crops. For these reasons, new methods to control pests must be developed.The discovery of new agrochemicals is necessary to face the problem of the emergence of resistances and the increasing of stringent regulatory standards, which are leading to the ban of many products no longer considered acceptable. All these factors are changing the research of new pesticides that is becoming a more expensive and time-consuming process. Thus, new methods to improve and speed up the discovery of new agrochemicals must be developed. In this context, the aim of this Ph.D. thesis was to explore new approaches to the synthesis of agrochemicals. Our attention was focused on the naturally derived compound-based molecules, due to the proved value of these compounds in development of agrochemicals and more in general of biologically active compounds. The first part of this Ph.D. thesis is focused on the development of dual-target fungicides obtained by combination of the naturally derived strobilurin fungicides with succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors. The development of dual-target molecules is a well-known approach in pharmaceutic research, while it is still underexplored in the field of agrochemicals. The research work was organized following a cycle of design, synthesis, in vitro tests, and evaluation of the mechanism of action. The dual-target compounds were designed on the basis of the reported structure-activity relationship for both the classes of fungicides. The designed compounds were synthetized, and the antifungal activity was screened in vitro by measurement of the mycelium growth inhibition. Finally, the mechanism of action was evaluated in silico by docking studies and in vitro in a cell free system. The second part of this dissertation was focused on the development of versatile synthetic approaches in the synthesis of biologically active natural compounds. SmI2 chemistry was employed in light of the remarkable synthetic power of this reagent. First, a SmI2-mediated Reformatsky reaction was developed as a complementary approach to Evans aldol reaction for the synthesis of precursors of cembranoids. Then, a SmI2-mediated pinacol coupling was investigated as a key step for the synthesis of the natural herbicide auscalitoxin aglycone.

description: The physiological significance of ATP and ADP as extracellular signalling molecules is well established (Burnstock, 1972; Gordon, 1986; Dubyak & El-Moatassim, 1993). Both molecules are released in a regulated manner from excitatory and non-excitatory cells, and these released nucleotides interact with both the P2X receptor subfamily of ligand-gated ion channel receptors and the P2Y receptor subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (Burnstock & Kennedy, 1985; Abbracchio et al., 1996; Fredholm et al., 1997).

description: 1 The human P2Y(11) (hP2Y(11)) receptor was stably expressed in two cell lines, 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells (1321N1-hP2Y(11)) and Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-hP2Y(11)), and its coupling to phospholipase C and adenylyl cyclase was assessed. 2 In 1321N1-hP2Y(11) cells, ATP promoted inositol phosphate OF) accumulation with low muM potency (EC50 = 8.5 +/- 0.1 muM), whereas it was 15 fold less potent (130 +/- 10 muM) in evoking cyclic AMP production. 3 In CHO-hP2Y(11) cells, ATP promoted IP accumulation with slightly higher potency (EC50 = 3.6 +/- 1.3 muM) than in 1321N1-hP2Y(11) cells, but it was still 15 fold less potent in promoting cyclic AMP accumulation (EC50 = 62.4 +/- 15.6 muM) than for IP accumulation. Comparable differences in potencies for promoting the two second messenger responses were observed with other adenosine nucleotide analogues. 4 In 1321N1-hP2Y(11) and CHO-hP2Y(11) cells, down regulation of PKC by chronic treatment with phorbol ester decreased ATP-promoted cyclic AMP accumulation by 60-80% (P < 0.001) with no change in its potency. Likewise, chelation of intracellular Ca2+ decreased ATP-promoted cyclic AMP accumulation by 45% in 1321N1-hP2Y(11) cells, whereas chelation had no effect on either the efficacy or potency of ATP in CHO-hP2Y11 cells. 5 We conclude that coupling of hP2Y(11) receptors to adenylyl cyclase in these cell lines is much weaker than coupling to phospholipase C, and that activation of PKC and intracellular Ca2+ mobilization as consequences of inositol lipid hydrolysis potentiates the capacity of ATP to increase cyclic AMP accumulation in both 1321N1-hP2Y(11) and CHO-hP2Y1(1) cells.

description: La lingua inglese è oggi il principale mezzo di comunicazione in tutto il mondo, al punto che il numero dei non madrelingua supera ampiamente quello dei madrelingua. Nel mondo degli affari, per esempio, sempre più aziende scelgono l'inglese come lingua franca per la comunicazione verso l'esterno, al fine di raggiungere il numero più ampio possibile di attori internazionali.
É comunque importante tenere presente che la lingua inglese è 'internazionale' in due modi diversi e ha dato origine sia ad un EIL localizzato, sia ad uno globalizzato (cfr. Seidlhofer, 2011: 4). Da un lato l'inglese si è sviluppato in molte forme localizzate di EIL o di World Englishes (principalmente attraverso la colonizzazione), con varianti d'uso che si sono naturalmente evolute in senso endonormativo e sono state analizzate da molti studiosi (Schmied, il 2004; Kirkpatrick, 2010; Schneider, 2011 ). Dall'altra parte, l'inglese è stato adottato da persone di tutto il mondo, che lo usano come mezzo di comprensione reciproca o lingua franca.
La presente analisi si concentra su un piccolo studio di caso, ovvero il sito Web dell'Agenzia per la Promozione del Commercio Internazionale della Camera di Commercio di Modena. Nel caso di siti Web, dal momento che è impossibile prevedere come si componga il pubblico, il webmaster non sa esattamente chi accederà ad un particolare sito e non può quindi adeguarlo alle aspettative specifiche dei lettori. Inoltre, l'abbondanza di informazioni disponibili durante la navigazione in rete potrebbe provocare una sensazione di disorientamento o ansia negli utenti. Questo è il motivo per cui le aziende dovrebbero dedicare particolare attenzione all'organizzazione coerente e ordinata dei loro siti Web, con l'obiettivo ambizioso di far ʽsentire a casa’ i loro utenti in modo che «sicuramente ripagheranno con la loro attenzione e forse anche con la loro fedeltà» (Nielsen / Loranger, 2006: xxii). Basandosi sia su un approccio quantitativo, sia qualitativo, il presente studio confronterà diverse versioni della prima pagina del sito Web dell'Agenzia, al fine di mostrare come, modificandone l'organizzazione linguistica e strutturale, sia possibile guidare le parti interessate a livello mondiale affinchè colgano meglio l'identità locale dell'agenzia.

I risultati raccolti confermano che la comunicazione internazionale può essere migliorata attraverso strategie di accomodamento, che possono assumere la forma di definizioni linguistiche, spiegazioni, raccolta di informazioni (cfr. anche Poppi, 2012). Inoltre, grazie alla globalizzazione di EIL (o ELF) è possibile sfruttare la lingua non solo per la comunicazione, ma anche per l'identificazione degli obiettivi, attraverso l'interazione mediata dal computer.
