Publisher: name: [s.n.]
Year: 1579

description: Herdesianus dankt für den Brief von Hübner. Gratuliert zu seiner Anstellung als Lehrer von Graf [Philip] Sidney, die er auf die Empfehlung von Johannes Sturm erhalten hat. Gerne ist er bereit, seinerseits Hübner brieflich bei Sturm zu empfehlen. Was man [in Nürnberg] von Sturms "Antipappi" [Genf, 1579] hält, dürfte dieser bereits von [Johannes] Loberius erfahren haben. Hofft, dass Sturm in einer Fortsetzung seiner Entgegnung [auf Pappus] die Wahrheit über die Verhandlungen um die Wittenberger Konkordie darlegen wird. Über die Aktivitäten von Jacob Andreae in Sachsen hat Herdesianus an Loberius geschrieben. Auf Betreiben von Andreae wurde Johannes Major wiederum in Kerkerhaft gesetzt, weil dieser als einziger in Wittenberg wagte, sich ihm zu widersetzen. Aus Heidelberg kam die Nachricht, dass die Gesandten des Kurfürsten [August] von Sachsen und des Kurfürsten [Johann Georg] von Brandenburg zusammen mit Andreas Chemnitz sich bemüht haben, den Kurfürsten [Ludwig VI.] von der Pfalz zur Unterzeichnung der Konkordienformel des Bergischen Buchs zu bewegen. Nach anfänglichem Widerstand habe er auf der Jagd bei Stuttgart auf Drängen von Andreae unterschrieben. Wenn das wahr ist, ist der Grund zu einem ewigen Zerwürfnis der [evangelischen] Kirchen gelegt. Bittet um Bericht aus Strassburg und bestellt Grüsse an Loberius.

description: Beza bedauert, dass der Besuch Musculus‘ nicht zustandegekommen ist. Er wiederholt die Einladung. Er empfiehlt den Überbringer des Briefs, den Baron [Charles] de Žerotín ("Serotin"). Er zeichnet sich durch Erfahrung und Tugend aus. Er plant, über Bern und Basel nach Genf zurückzukehren und nach Frankreich weiterzureisen. Der Nachbar [d.h. der Herzog von Savoyen] führt seine hinterhältige Politik fort. Die Korrespondenten aus Frankreich berichten, dass der König [Henri III.] den Religionsfrieden nicht stören will, sondern einen Feldzug gegen Spanien vorbereitet. Die Spanier haben in den Niederlanden ("apud Belgas") Erfolg. Man vermutet, dass sie noch im Lauf des Monats Truppen ins Burgund verschieben werden. Bestellt Grüsse an die Kollegen von Musculus. PS: Beza muss den Brief diktieren, da die eigene [zittrige] Schrift für die Leser zu anstrengend wäre.

The power of an idea : China, responsibility and global governance

description: As China grows as a global power, so have expectations for it to behave 'responsibly'. Crucially, this has prompted intense debates - both inside and outside of the People's Republic - on its newfound roles and responsibilities in managing world affairs. Paralleling broader trends in international relations where a distinctive language of responsibility has come to permeate the conduct of world politics, these past few years have seen the Chinese leadership vigorously attempting to project a more 'responsible' image of the country. Yet whilst recasting its identity from an outlier of international society to that of a constructive stakeholder has served, in part, to reassure the global community of its intentions, doing so has also given rise to further questions on the nature of China's obligations and, more specifically, what it means to be 'responsible'. The central purpose of the thesis, as such, is to uncover how China understands and acts upon notions of responsibility in the realm of global governance. In particular, it examines China's engagement with extant structures of ecological governance, with special focus directed to how Chinese attitudes toward responsible stewardship have informed its practices in managing natural disasters and transboundary water resources. Taken together with the concepts of legitimacy and reciprocity, the concept of responsibility, as a fundamental idea undergirding governing processes, is seen to exert both a regulative and constitutive 'power' over actors. Of particular importance here is the 'politics of responsibility' - or to be precise, the socio-political dynamics of defining, designating, and demonstrating responsibility involved in determining the normative content of conceptions of responsibility as well as the agents tasked with the obligation to act. Occurring both within and between states, it is through these interlocking processes that notions of responsibility relate directly to efforts at governing the globe. How the People's Republic interprets and actualises conceptions of responsibility is, therefore, contingent not simply on the context at hand but on the broader politics of responsibility which, in the Chinese case, operates at multiple levels and is animated by a complex cast of local, national, regional and international actors. Connected through interweaving webs of responsibility, these actors effectively work to frame how China's duties and obligations are to be perceived. This, in turn, results in a triangulation effect where indigenous Chinese understandings of responsibility intersect with regional and international discourses to influence China's engagement with an evolving world society. -- Abstract provided by candidate.
The Pluralist Corporation
Creators: name: Worthington, Michelle Marie
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2018
Subjects: Corporations
Corporate Ethical Agency
Isaiah Berlin
Corporate Law Reform

description: This Thesis extends Sir Isaiah Berlin’s ‘value pluralism’ to argue that the for-profit corporation functions as a powerful, constructed ethical agent. While the prevailing view is that corporate decision-making allows for the balancing of a range of different, potentially competing interests, this Thesis argues that the corporation’s ethical agency is structured around a single, unifying value, namely, the corporation’s own financial self-interest. On this view, the corporation’s decision-making is constrained: it is incapable of a) conceiving of the world in anything other than financial terms or b) other-regarding behaviour of any kind. The pervasive financial self-interest evident in the corporation’s constructed ethical agency helps to explain both the remarkable success of the corporate form, and its pronounced anti-social tendencies. This Thesis argues for a reconfiguration of the corporation, and with it, corporate ethical agency. In particular, it argues that the nature and scope of corporate influence necessitates imbuing the corporation with more ‘pluralist’ sensibilities. Not only should the corporation be capable of balancing a range of different interests in its decision-making, it should be capable of subordinating its own interests to those of the broader community where appropriate. Using Berlin’s value pluralism as a guide, this Thesis proposes a suite of law reforms aimed at facilitating contextualised, flexible, and other-regarding decision-making on the part of the corporation. These proposed reforms are: – replacing the existing duty to act ‘bona fide and the best interests of the corporation’ with a new duty to ‘sustain the business of the corporation as a going concern’; – providing a statutory definition of ‘proper purpose’ with a view to both expanding the concept, and ensuring that it functions as the ‘lodestar’ for directorial decision-making. With respect to the proposed expansion, the concept of proper purpose should be made to include a good faith requirement, and should also allow directors to address legitimate social and environmental issues; – providing express statutory permission for corporations to engage in profit-sacrificing behaviour; – mandating integrated reporting mechanisms for corporations, with a view to using the data collected to inform the development of a ratings system for corporate conduct; and – legislating for advisory shareholder resolutions.
Entropy and thermopower in the 2D t-J model
Creators: name: Putikka, W. O.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The entropy of the two-dimensional $t$-$J$ model is investigated using its 12th order high temperature series. A direct Padé extrapolation of the entropy series doesn't converge well for temperatures below $T\sim J$. The series coefficients are exact polynomials so the series convergence can be improved by modifying the series that is extrapolated. By subtracting a scaled version of the series for the entropy of the Heisenberg antiferromagnet from the $t$-$J$ entropy series the low temperature convergence is greatly improved. Using this technique results are obtained for the full range of electron densities and temperatures. The electron density is an adjustable parameter in the series coefficients allowing the density dependence of the entropy and the density derivative at fixed temperature $\partial S/\partial n|_T$ to be determined accurately. The density derivative depends strongly on temperature, unlike noninteracting models. The density derivative is also an approximation to the experimentally measured thermopower.

Beyond the Aesthetics and Social Contextualisation of José Hernández’s Martín Fierro: An Unmasking of the Myth of the Literary Creator and the Literary Creation

gaucho poem

description: Martín Fierro by José Hernández has enjoyed much success since its publication in 1872: first, as the popular gaucho poem that excited the rural inhabitants of a newly formed Argentina and launched the literary and political career of its author; second, (from 1913 on) as a literary juggernaut that successive generations of Argentine writers have returned to again and again - to find the essence of ‘Argentinity’, to align their literary career with the gaucho poem or to rail against its central position in the nation’s literary landscape. Such has been the reaction to the gaucho poem that many literary commentators and critics have struggled with the question of ‘How do you solve a literary problem like Martín Fierro?’ Pierre Bourdieu’s The Rules of Art provides a critical and complete approach to literary criticism that moves away from the paradigm of literary and social readings of texts that have dominated the discipline. It provides a multi-layered and organic sociological approach to understanding the literary classics of a nation as well as the national literary canons that seem to rise up from literary fields both slowly and spontaneously. This dissertation endeavours to clarify the principles for the study of literature using the sociological tools and analysis of literary texts and fields espoused by Bourdieu in The Rules of Art in order to apply it to the case study of Hernández’s gaucho poem and the literary field of the Argentine nation during the period of nation formation.

description: Dank für die Übersendung eines Exemplars von Musculus‘ "Dialogi". In Genf wird das Gerücht verbreitet, dass den Kollegen im Berner Untertanengebiet verboten worden sei, Disputationen über die Heilige Schrift abzuhalten. Calvin wundert sich, dass Musculus und [Johannes] Haller dieses Verbot veranlasst haben. Die Bibeldisputationen sind nützlich und notwendig, um die Disziplin und die Übereinstimmung in der Lehre zu fördern. Nicht nur die Prediger, sondern auch die Laien profitieren davon. Vom Verbot ist angeblich nicht nur Lausanne betroffen, sondern das ganze Berner Untertanengebiet. Dass die Disputationen Ursache für Streitigkeiten waren, liegt einzig an [Andreas] Zebedaeus, der als Unruhestifter bekannt ist. Weil er die Lausanner Kirche stören wollte, wurde er entfernt. Seinetwegen müssen nun alle Kollegen leiden. Die Urheber des Verbots fügen der Kirche grossen Schaden zu. Calvin zweifelt nicht an den guten Absichten von Musculus, aber er kann die Lage und die Mittel zu ihrer Beruhigung besser beurteilen. Bestellt Grüsse an [Joahnnes] Haller und die übrigen Kollegen.

description: We analyze a model statistical description of the polypeptide chain helix-coil transition, where we take into account the specificity of its primary sequence, as quantified by the phase space volume ratio of the number of all accessible states to the number corresponding to a helical conformation. The resulting transition phase diagram is then juxtaposed with the unusual behavior of the secondary structures in Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDPs) and a number of similarities are observed, even if the protein folding is a more complex transition than the helix-coil transition. In fact, the deficit in bulky and hydrophobic amino acids observed in IDPs, translated into larger values of phase space volume, allows us to locate the region in parameter space of the helix-coil transition that would correspond to the secondary structure transformations that are intrinsic to conformational transitions in IDPs and that is characterized by a modified phase diagram when compared to globular proteins. Here, we argue how the nature of this modified phase diagram, obtained from a model of the helix-coil transition in a solvent, would illuminate the turned-out response of IDPs to the changes in the environment conditions that follow straightforwardly from the re-entrant (cold denaturation) branch in their folding phase diagram.

description: Gwalther bestätigt den Eingang von zwei Briefen. Der erste vom 5. Dezember enthielt Christoph Lüthardts Schrift über die Pest und [Theodor] Bezas Antwort darauf. Der zweite vom Januar war das Begleitschreiben zum Neujahrsgeschenk von Schultheiss [Hans] Steiger, wofür er sich innig bedankt. Gwalther ist über die Pestkontroverse bestürzt. Beza hat ihm am 19. November beiläufig darüber geschrieben, von [Ludwig] Lavater hat er Bezas Schrift zur Lektüre erhalten. Die Lehre, dass Gott über die Ansteckung bestimme und die Ableitung daraus, dass man den Pestopfern keine Hilfe leisten soll, ist unchristlich und Anlass zu unerwünschten Kontroversen. Er versteht nicht, dass Beza diese Schrift publizeren liess. Ein evangelischer Besucher aus Savoyen berichtet, dass sie von vielen abgelehnt wird. Gwalther ist gespannt, wann Jacob Andreaes Hirngespinste unter dem Titel der Konkordie erscheinen werden. Peter Schär von Schwarzenberg, Ehegatte der Cousine von Gwalthers Gattin ("Blarera mea") und Gutsnachbar Andreaes in Württemberg berichtet, dieser sei beim Kurfürsten [August von Sachsen] in Ungnade gefallen. Schär besitzt einen Brief Andreaes mit der Unterschrift "Jacob Andreae, Probst zu Tübingen und Ziginer in Saxen". Die Bezeichnung "Zigeuner" passt zu ihm. Nach Abfassung des Briefes vor zehn Tagen ist der Bote abgereist, ohne ihn mitzunehmen. Erst jetzt konnte er ihn einem Berner mitgeben. Bestellt Grüsse an die Berner Kollegen und [Niklaus] Zurkinden ("Zerchintes"), von dem er am Vortag einen Brief erhalten hat.

description: The statistically defined disadvantage of remote-living Indigenous children has often been the target of state intervention in Australia. In this thesis I present an ethnography of an international NGO that attempted to improve the lives of such children through a participatory and culturally respectful community development project. Originally setting out to answer the question of whether participatory practices derived from “international development” could be useful in the context of Indigenous Australia, this study instead deploys the ontological approaches of Annemarie Mol (2002) and Bruno Latour (2005) to return to the dichotomous way in which such questions are framed: as a “global” organisation interacting with a “local” community. The distinction between the global and the local inhabits and structures other binaries that run throughout the thesis: between organisation and community, expertise and “cultural” knowledge, the developed and the to-be-developed, and between White and Indigenous, or in locally salient terms, Kardiya and Yapa. I ask after the effects of this framing: how do such dualisms define who participates in development, and in what ways? What forms of knowledge emerge as significant and important under these conditions? How do Indigenous people and White NGO staff negotiate the moral landscape of “helping?” What kinds of relationship are produced? And how does my ethnographic writing, as another knowledge practice, engage with development? I demonstrate the ways in which development is performed through an examination of the day-to-day practices of the NGO: drawing upon expertise and evidence to justify intervention (chapters two and three), monitoring and evaluating project impacts (chapter four), building “intercultural” relationships (chapter five), ensuring participation (chapter six), and marketing to raise project funds (chapter seven). I argue that because NGO practice enacts the objects of development (Mol 2002), and is therefore entangled with them, participatory approaches that rely upon a boundary between the developed and the to-be-developed are destabilised. The performance of this boundary is important however, as it serves as both the problem to be overcome and the crucial ethic through which well-meaning, settler-colonial NGO staff negotiate their work and professional identities in remote Indigenous Australia. I draw upon participant observation within the NGO to present an ethnographic account that unbinds development from its normative, instrumental representations, while eschewing denunciation as the necessarily alternative research position. My work brings the critical anthropology of development into conversation with an Indigenous Australian setting, and seeks to contribute to the growing field of NGO ethnography.

In fact, quantum computing is not merely a recipe for new computing devices, but a new way of looking at the world that has been astonishingly intellectually productive. In this article, I'll talk about where quantum computing came from, what it is, and what we can learn from it.

description: Following the concept of conformationally restriction of ligands to achieve high receptor affinity, we exploited the propellane system as rigid scaffold allowing the stereodefined attachment of various substituents. Three types of ligands were designed, synthesized and pharmacologically evaluated as σ1 receptor ligands. Propellanes with (1) a 2-methoxy-5-methylphenylcarbamate group at the “left” five-membered ring and various amino groups on the “right” side; (2) benzylamino or analogous amino moieties on the “right” side and various substituents at the left five-membered ring and (3) various urea derivatives at one five-membered ring were investigated. The benzylamino substituted carbamate syn,syn-4a showed the highest σ1 affinity within the group of four stereoisomers emphasizing the importance of the stereochemistry. The cyclohexylmethylamine 18 without further substituents at the propellane scaffold revealed unexpectedly high σ1 affinity (Ki = 34 nM) confirming the relevance of the bioisosteric replacement of the benzylamino moiety by the cyclohexylmethylamino moiety. Reduction of the distance between the basic amino moiety and the “left” hydrophobic region by incorporation of the amino moiety into the propellane scaffold resulted in azapropellanes with particular high σ1 affinity. As shown for the propellanamine 18, removal of the carbamate moiety increased the σ1 affinity of 9a (Ki = 17 nM) considerably. Replacement of the basic amino moiety by H-bond forming urea did not lead to potent σ ligands. According to molecular dynamics simulations, both azapropellanes anti-5 and 9a as well as propellane 18 adopt binding poses at the σ1 receptor, which result in energetic values correlating well with their different σ1 affinities. The affinity of the ligands is enthalpy driven. The additional interactions of the carbamate moiety of anti-5 with the σ1 receptor protein cannot compensate the suboptimal orientations of the rigid propellane and its N-benzyl moiety within the σ1 receptor-binding pocket, which explains the higher σ1 affinity of the unsubstituted azapropellane 9a.

description: A Fermi liquid with spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is expected to support a new kind of collective modes: oscillations of magnetization in the absence of the magnetic field. We show that these modes are damped by the electron-electron interaction even in the limit of an infinitely long wavelength (q = 0). The linewidth of the collective mode is on the order of Δ^2=E_F , where Δ is a characteristic spin-orbit energy splitting and E_F is the Fermi energy. Such damping is in a stark contrast to known damping mechanisms of both charge and spin collective modes in the absence of SOC, all of which disappear at q = 0, and arises because none of the components of total spin is conserved in the presence of SOC.

description: Both the provision of democracy aid and the imposition of sanctions are tools to promote
democracy. Yet, it is unclear under which conditions states choose to set positive or negative
incentives. In order to answer which tool—democracy aid or democratic sanctions—is more
effective, one has to analyse the actual form of the provision of aid. Sanctions and democracy aid
can also be employed at the same time. The goal of this study is to determine their joint effect on
democratization in recipient countries. We argue that sending civil society aid or democracy aid
channeled through NGOs and the civil society when sanctions are in place, enhances the
effectiveness of sanctions as a democracy promotion tool because the civil society can be
empowered to introduce democratic changes in its country—so additionally to the top-down
pressure created by sanctions, there is bottom-up pressure exerted by the civil society. Our results
suggest that democratic sanctions are more likely to be successful if democracy aid bypasses the
government in a target state. Conversely, other forms of aid provision tend to decrease the
effectiveness of sanctions. In order to precisely explain the joint impact of positive and negative
incentives on democratization, we employ a new comprehensive dataset on economic sanctions
for the period between 1989 and 2015 which integrates and updates the Threats and Imposition of
Economic Sanctions and the GIGA sanctions data sets, merged with disaggregated OECD aid data
and V-Dem as well as PolityIV democracy scores.

description: Images are proliferating in the world at ever-increasing speeds. As digital media become ever more deeply intertwined with our everyday lives, so too do the many figured images – such as fictional characters and personae – that inhabit that media. Given the increasingly significant role that media play in shaping our sense of self, other, and world, what effect could these figured images have in our lives and, more broadly, the world? This thesis explores the influence that figured images can have through an ethnographic study of the relationships conducted with and through fictional characters among fans of the Dragon Age series of computer games who use Tumblr, an image-heavy social networking site. It takes as its point of departure the understanding that we each live in an image world – a phenomenal world within the globalised mediascape that is shaped by the particular concatenation of media products we consume – and asks: a) Why do fans respond as if the computer-generated characters of Dragon Age are real? b) What effects do the relationships that fans develop with these characters have in their lives and identities? and c) How do these relationships orient fans in relation to the broader world? Based on 14 months of participant observation on Tumblr, supplemented with an anonymous online survey, online interviews, and group meet-ups in six cities around the world, I argue that figured images can be powerful actants – what I am calling virtual people – in globe-spanning networks of images and humans. I argue that, rather than being mere vehicles for linguistic meaning, figured images evidence a form of agency that is virtually intersubjective in its address to the sociocorporeal perception of their beholders. Through this agency, images take an active and spontaneous role in people’s lives, opening new personal horizons, refiguring our perspectives on social issues, and testing our ethical positions. The result is that we may not be quite the same person, or inhabit quite the same world, after our engagement with figured images.

description: Device-independent (DI) quantum communication will require a loophole-free violation of Bell inequalities. In typical scenarios where line-of-sight between the communicating parties is not available, it is convenient to use energy-time entangled photons due to intrinsic robustness while propagating over optical fibers. Here we show an energy-time Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt Bell inequality violation with two parties separated by 3.7 km over the deployed optical fiber network belonging to the University of Concepción in Chile. Remarkably, this is the first Bell violation with spatially separated parties that is free of the post-selection loophole, which affected all previous in-field long-distance energy-time experiments. Our work takes a further step towards a fiber-based loophole-free Bell test, which is highly desired for secure quantum communication due to the widespread existing telecommunication infrastructure.

THE PERMEATION OF BIOMACROMOLECULES THROUGH HUMAN SKIN: AN INSIGHT INTO THE FAMILY OF GLYCOSAMINOGLYCANS
Creators: name: FRANZE', SILVIA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2015

description: This Ph.D was aimed to elucidate the physicochemical parameters that rule the penetration of different classes of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) through human skin, with particular focus on hyaluronan (HA) and heparins. The research activity involved: 1) the investigation of the influence of the main structural features (sequence, molecular weight (Mw), polarity, and conformational behavior) on the percutaneous absorption of HA, heparin (UFH) and low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs); 2) the fine-tuning of a suitable enhancement strategy to improve the permeation of UFH through human epidermis. The overall results confirmed that Mw represents a fundamental factor in determining the permeability properties also of such polysaccharides. Indeed, in in vitro studies performed by using HA having different chain lengths, the diffusion through the skin decreased increasing the polymer?s molecular mass. Similarly, LMWHs sodium salts permeated to a larger extent with respect to UFH and their permeated amounts varied with Mw according to an exponential relationship. However, the key parameter driving the permeation of such macromolecules through the skin resulted to be the polymer flexibility. In fact, the introduction of sulfate groups on HA chains, causing the disruption of the helical motif, led to less ordered structures, which were able to cross the skin to higher extent compared to unsubstituted HA, despite their increased polarity. Accordingly, the presence of divalent cations in LMWHs solution, limiting the chain flexibility through the formation of intramolecular chelates, negatively affected the skin permeability properties of calcium nadroparin. Furthermore, both classes of polysaccharides in study demonstrated to interact with stratum corneum components, in particular keratins, as confirmed by confocal miscroscopy images (HA) and ATR-FTIR spectra (UFH). Since the physicochemical features of these polysaccharides (hydrophilicity, negative charge and high Mw) precluded a significant diffusion through the human epidermis, the phage display technique was exploited to screen a skin penetrating peptide which could enhance the skin permeation of such molecules, allowing their transdermal delivery. The in vitro screening allowed to identify a neutral peptide, DRTTLTN, which resulted to be able to increase the UFH flux of 34-fold after chemical conjugation. These results demonstrated the suitability of skin penetrating peptides to improve the skin delivery of polysaccharide macromolecules.
Amplifying and nullifying the impact of democratic sanctions through aid to civil society

description: Both foreign aid and sanctions are foreign policy tools to promote
democracy. Yet, it is unclear how far incentives and coercion
enhance democratization. Since sanctions and aid are often
employed at the same time, the goal of this study is to determine
their joint effect on democratization in target/recipient countries.
We argue that sending democracy aid through civil society organizations
enhances the effectiveness of sanctions as a democracy
promotion tool because the civil society is empowered to introduce
democratic changes. Thus, in addition to the top-down
pressure on the target government created by sanctions, there
is a bottom-up pressure exerted by the civil society. Our empirical
results show that democratic sanctions by the European Union
and the United States are more likely to have a positive effect
when aid flows bypass the government. Conversely, aid channeled
through the public sector mitigates the generally positive
effect of sanctions on democracy. In order to estimate these joint
effects, we employ a new comprehensive dataset on economic
sanctions: the EUSANCT Dataset which integrates and updates
existing databases on sanctions for the period between 1989 and
2015, merged with disaggregated OECD aid data and V-Dem
democracy scores.

description: Populations of species in ecosystems are often constrained by availability of resources within their environment. In effect this means that a growth of one population, needs to be balanced by comparable reduction in populations of others. In neutral models of biodiversity all populations are assumed to change incrementally due to stochastic births and deaths of individuals. Here we propose and model another redistribution mechanism driven by abrupt and severe collapses of the entire population of a single species freeing up resources for the remaining ones. This mechanism may be relevant e.g. for communities of bacteria, with strain-specific collapses caused e.g. by invading bacteriophages, or for other ecosystems where infectious diseases play an important role. The emergent dynamics of our system is cyclic "diversity waves" triggered by collapses of globally dominating populations. The population diversity peaks at the beginning of each wave and exponentially decreases afterwards. Species abundances are characterized by a bimodal time-aggregated distribution with the lower peak formed by populations of recently collapsed or newly introduced species, while the upper peak - species that has not yet collapsed in the current wave. In most waves both upper and lower peaks are composed of several smaller peaks. This self-organized hierarchical peak structure has a long-term memory transmitted across several waves. It gives rise to a scale-free tail of the time-aggregated population distribution with a universal exponent of 1.7. We show that diversity wave dynamics is robust with respect to variations in the rules of our model such as diffusion between multiple environments, species-specific growth and extinction rates, and bet-hedging strategies.

SHEDDING LIGHT ON GLIOBLASTOMA AND DERIVED EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES IN ONE CLIC
Creators: name: SETTI, MATTEO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2015

description: ABSTRACT The treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) still represents a tremendous clinical challenge, with the average survival that is not exceeding 14 months. Given the lack of reliable prognostic markers and druggable targets in GBM, several years ago our lab?s interest focused on Chloride intracellular channel-1 (CLIC1), a protein belonging to a class of chloride channels that does not fit the classical paradigm of ion channels proteins. CLIC1 proteins can exist as both soluble globular protein and integral membrane protein with ion channel function. Upon oxidative stress, CLIC1 translocates from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane where it exerts its function as a chloride (Cl-) channel. CLIC1 is overexpressed in several human solid tumors, including gliomas. In this study we demonstrated that CLIC1 silencing in cancer stem cells (CSCs) isolated from human GBM patients negatively influences both proliferative capacity and self-renewal properties in vitro and impairs the in vivo tumorigenic potential. Moreover, CLIC1 expression inversely associates with GBM patient survival, thus suggesting a potential exploitation of CLIC1 as a new molecular therapeutic target and a possible outcome predictor. CLIC1 has been identified as a secreted protein and detected in exosomes released from different cell types, including primary tumors. Extracellular vesicles (40-1000 nm) (EVs) are secreted by virtually all cell types that arise from the invagination and the budding of the limiting membrane of late endosomes (hence called multivesicular bodies, MVB). We showed that CLIC1 is a protein localized within EVs isolated by GBM cell lines and GBM-derived CSCs and by tuning CLIC1 expression within EVs it is possible to modulate cellular response to EVs both in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, our data suggest that CLIC1 plays an important role in regulating GBM proliferation and tumorigenic status, experimental evidences hint the possible transmission of these features to recipient cells by EV secretion.

description: We study circular geodesic motion of test particles and photons in the Bardeen and Ayon-Beato-Garcia (ABG) geometry describing spherically symmetric regular black-hole or no-horizon spacetimes. While the Bardeen geometry is not exact solution of Einstein's equations, the ABG spacetime is related to self-gravitating charged sources governed by Einstein's gravity and non-linear electrodynamics. They both are characterized by the mass parameter $m$ and the charge parameter $g$. We demonstrate that in similarity to the Reissner-Nordstrom (RN) naked singularity spacetimes an antigravity static sphere should exist in all the no-horizon Bardeen and ABG solutions that can be sorrounded by a Keplerian accretion disc. However, contrary to the RN naked singularity spacetimes, the ABG no-horizon spacetimes with parameter $g/m > 2$ can contain also an additional inner Keplerian disc hidden under the static antigravity sphere. Properties of the geodesic structure are reflected by simple observationally relevant optical phenomena. We give silhouette of the regular black hole and no-horizon spacetimes, and profiled spectral lines generated by Keplerian rings radiating at a fixed frequency and located in strong gravity region at or nearby the marginally stable circular geodesics. We demonstrate that the profiled spectral lines related to the regular black holes are qualitatively similar to those of the Schwarzschild black holes, giving only small quantitative differences. On the other hand, the regular no-horizon spacetimes give clear qualitative signatures of their presence while compared to the Schwarschild spacetimes. Moreover, it is possible to distinguish the Bardeen and ABG no-horizon spacetimes, if the inclination angle to the observer is known.
