Riferimento al Quadro Comune Europeo nell’apprendimento dell’italiano come L1, in particolar modo per quanto riguarda l’abilità di produzione orale
Creators: name: Carcano, Paola
Publisher: name: Scuola Universitaria della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI)
Year: 2012

description: Nel corso degli ultimi decenni il Quadro Comune Europeo ha assunto un ruolo sempre più rilevante come strumento di valutazione delle competenze e come quadro per la programmazione, nell’insegnamento delle L2. Si è quindi riflettuto sulle diverse situazioni di valutazione nelle quali questo strumento può avere una sua utilità anche nell’insegnamento dell’italiano come L1, soprattutto per quanto riguarda la componente dell’oralità. Questa ricerca è risultata valutativa, nel senso che ha valutato l'impatto dell'uso del QCE ed in particolar modo la griglia valutativa dell’esame CELI nell'insegnamento della L1. L’approccio, comunque, ha avuto anche un connotato di ricerca-azione poiché la sottoscritta risulta essere contemporaneamente sia ricercatrice, sia docente. La sperimentazione si è basata su una singola classe di italiano e dunque il risultato non è determinante in termini quantitativi. Tuttavia questo progetto risulta valido perché ha cercato di mettere al centro l’allievo con i suoi bisogni linguistici e il suo rapporto con il mondo in cui vive, al fine di sviluppare determinate competenze lungo tutto l’arco dell’anno. Per essere ottimale dovrebbe diventare un excursus a lungo termine che abbracci tutta la scolarità, un progetto insomma dove gli insegnanti per primi si rendano pienamente conto di avere a che fare con studenti che chiedono giustamente una motivazione e soprattutto un’unità di intenti in quello che a loro viene quotidianamente proposto.

title: Comics & Colonial Propaganda: The Representation of Indigenous Superheroes in Contemporary Mainstream American Comics
Creators: name: Treadwell, Holly May
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines the continual presence of settler colonial propaganda in Marvel and DC comic books from the 21st century. In order to do this, the study employs theory and works from Indigenous Studies and applies them to the analysis of comics, focusing particularly on the works of Raymond Stedman, Jacquelyn Kilpatrick, M. K. Green, Robert Berkhofer Junior, Michael Sheyahshe, Cornell Pewewardy, P. J. Deloria, Shepard Krech III, R. H. Pearce, Arlene Hirschfelder, Devon Abbott Mihesuah, and S. Elizabeth Bird. The work is framed around four categories, all of which have been drawn from these theories: the Bloodthirsty Savage, Naïve Sidekick, Romantic Ecologist, and Homogenous Relict. These categories are used as frameworks from which to compare the changing and sometimes contradictory nature of the stereotypical representations of Indigenous Peoples, whilst also drawing on colonial depictions, the origins of such stereotypes, and examples of these categories as presented in other media from the last century. The New Mutants series receives particular attention due to its prominence in the comic world and the fame of the team's Indigenous hero: Dani Moonstar. The examination of where and how the selected comics continue to facsimile or indeed reject and challenge these stereotypes, is followed by the conclusion which considers Marvel's newly published Indigenous Voices as an apt demonstration of the effect of hiring Indigenous creators. The aim of this work is to bring attention to the very slow (and at times lack of) progress made in terms of Indigenous representation, which feels especially important in an era full of efforts to improve the representation of marginalised and often misrepresented groups. In order to make better progress in this area, it is not only necessary to look at examples of where and why representation of Indigenous characters is done well; it is also essential to recognise the shortcomings and acknowledge exactly where and how creators are facsimileing colonial narratives that attempt to justify the genocide that facilitated the very existence of colonial countries such as those currently known as the United States of America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

description: Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) long channels signals are contaminated by motion artifacts and extra-cerebral tissues activity during motor production. In this study, we aimed at quantifying these limitations using an fNIRS continuous-wave system during whole-body movement (i.e., cycling task). Using motion-capture recordings, physiological monitoring and short channels, our results showed a high stability of the headset during whole-body movements production and demonstrated the ability of short channels to capture physiological extra-cerebral activity.

description: We study theoretically dynamical phases of vortices in superconducting films with arrays of obstacles. By performing a series of molecular dynamics simulations and analytical calculations, we demonstrate the existence of a phase of soliton-like vortex-density waves appearing in a wide range of parameters. These waves are formed by a self-assembled phase separation process induced by strongly nonlinear density fluctuations of the moving vortex matter above a certain critical driving current. At high vortex concentrations, the waves move at an approximately current-independent speed resulting in a wide plateau in the voltage-current characteristics. At stronger drives, the vortex system enters into a fully jammed (zero-voltage) phase. By combining ac and dc drives, the interplay between the vortex-density-wave and jammed phases leads to the observation of negative absolute mobility of vortices, which induces the superconducting film into a negative resistance state.

Race, Ancestry, and Disease Outcomes in Black Individuals: A Clarification

description: There has been a renewal call for using inclusive language when reporting race and ethnicity in medical and scientific research, and guidelines have been recently published. A related issue is the need to clarify differences between race, ethnicity and ancestry, which are often used interchanged in lay and scientific reports. Race and ethnicity are social constructs with no biological base and should be reported along with the population sociodemographic characteristics to avoid interpretation bias. Ancestry is the population genetic background determined by human history and migration, and can have biological meaning. This distinction is important when interpreting results of studies of health disparities, and worth of further clarification.

description: Il sistema di ponti provvisori è stato studiato prendendo come oggetto il sottopasso autostradale di Matran avente campata di 17.60 m e larghezza della piattabanda 19.80 m. L’obiettivo dell’intervento è quello di demolire la piattabanda esistente utilizzando i ponti provvisori con cui è possibile garantire sempre la circolazione del traffico autostradale durante ogni fase di intervento e infine utilizzare questi ponti provvisori per realizzare la nuova piattabanda del sottopasso in carpenteria metallica avente le stesse dimensioni della piattabanda esistente. Saranno realizzati 4 ponti provvisori, distinti in 2 tipologie che si differenziano per la dimensione: una di larghezza pari a 4.50 m che consente il traffico ai camion, l’altra di 3.60 m che consente il transito unicamente alle auto.

description: We report on the discovery of the X-ray luminous cluster XMMU J100750.5+125818 at redshift 1.082 based on 19 spectroscopic members, which displays several strong lensing features. SED modeling of the lensed arc features from multicolor imaging with the VLT and the LBT reveals likely redshifts ~2.7 for the most prominent of the lensed background galaxies. Mass estimates are derived for different radii from the velocity dispersion of the cluster members, M_200 ~ 1.8 10^{14} Msun, from the X-ray spectral parameters, M_500 ~ 1.0 10^{14} Msun, and the largest lensing arc, M_SL ~ 2.3 10^{13} Msun. The projected spatial distribution of cluster galaxies appears to be elongated, and the brightest galaxy lies off center with respect to the X-ray emission indicating a not yet relaxed structure. XMMU J100750.5+125818 offers excellent diagnostics of the inner mass distribution of a distant cluster with a combination of strong and weak lensing, optical and X-ray spectroscopy.

Migration ecology of the yellow-breasted chat and gray catbird and physiology of the yellow-breasted chat
Creators: name: Mancuso, Kristen A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Migratory songbirds are declining in North America, and a better understanding of their full annual cycle (breeding, migration, overwintering) is important to identify potential threats and to better implement conservation initiatives. How populations are connected through different phases of the annual cycle, termed migratory connectivity, is another important conservation metric. Additionally, the identification of potential threats that may affect population persistence is important to direct conservation efforts. One less-commonly studied threat is mercury, which is a toxic heavy metal that can negatively affect neurology, reproduction, and endocrinology. Moreover, mercury may also disrupt the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and subsequent stress response. Here, I examine the movement ecology of two migratory songbirds – the Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis) and the Yellow-breasted Chat (Icteria virens). I describe migration routes, overwintering locations, and migratory connectivity. Further, I examine if mercury toxicity and its associated effects on the stress response is a potential threat to Yellow-breasted Chat populations throughout their breeding range. To answer questions about migration ecology, I use GPS tags, geolocators, genetics, stable hydrogen isotopes, and bird banding encounter data. To answer questions about conservation physiology, I measured mercury and corticosterone levels in chat feathers. I found that breeding Gray Catbirds in British Columbia and Montana migrate eastward and then southward to overwintering locations in northeastern Mexico and Texas. Individuals from both populations overlapped during the overwintering period; a case of weak migratory connectivity. I found that Yellow-breasted Chats in British Columbia migrate south to overwintering locations in western Mexico. However, other breeding populations also appear to overwinter in western Mexico, suggesting weak migratory connectivity. From my physiology analyses, I found that mercury levels in feathers were relatively low, 0.30 ± 0.02 µg/g, and mostly considered background levels across the chat breeding range. There was no correlation between mercury and corticosterone levels, suggesting that mercury was not affecting the activity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis. The results of my research elucidate key details of the full annual cycle for Gray Catbirds and Yellow-breasted Chats and indicate little threat of mercury toxicity and subsequent endocrinology malfunction to Yellow-breasted Chats.

description: Classical ecological theory predicts that environmental stochasticity increases extinction risk by reducing the average per-capita growth rate of populations. To understand the interactive effects of environmental stochasticity, spatial heterogeneity, and dispersal on population growth, we study the following model for population abundances in $n$ patches: the conditional law of $X_{t+dt}$ given $X_t=x$ is such that when $dt$ is small the conditional mean of $X_{t+dt}^i-X_t^i$ is approximately $[x^iμ_i+\sum_j(x^j D_{ji}-x^i D_{ij})]dt$, where $X_t^i$ and $μ_i$ are the abundance and per capita growth rate in the $i$-th patch respectivly, and $D_{ij}$ is the dispersal rate from the $i$-th to the $j$-th patch, and the conditional covariance of $X_{t+dt}^i-X_t^i$ and $X_{t+dt}^j-X_t^j$ is approximately $x^i x^j σ_{ij}dt$. We show for such a spatially extended population that if $S_t=(X_t^1+...+X_t^n)$ is the total population abundance, then $Y_t=X_t/S_t$, the vector of patch proportions, converges in law to a random vector $Y_\infty$ as $t\to\infty$, and the stochastic growth rate $\lim_{t\to\infty}t^{-1}\log S_t$ equals the space-time average per-capita growth rate $\sum_iμ_i\E[Y_\infty^i]$ experienced by the population minus half of the space-time average temporal variation $\E[\sum_{i,j}σ_{ij}Y_\infty^i Y_\infty^j]$ experienced by the population. We derive analytic results for the law of $Y_\infty$, find which choice of the dispersal mechanism $D$ produces an optimal stochastic growth rate for a freely dispersing population, and investigate the effect on the stochastic growth rate of constraints on dispersal rates. Our results provide fundamental insights into "ideal free" movement in the face of uncertainty, the persistence of coupled sink populations, the evolution of dispersal rates, and the single large or several small (SLOSS) debate in conservation biology.

description: It is known that one can characterize the decoherence strength of a Markovian environment by the product of its temperature and induced damping, and order the decoherence strength of multiple environments by this quantity. We show that for non-Markovian environments in the weak coupling regime there also exists a natural (albeit partial) ordering of environment-induced irreversibility within a perturbative treatment. This measure can be applied to both low-temperature and non-equilibrium environments.

description: Excerpts from the report Highlights: The 1965-66 survey of marketing, farm supply, and related service cooperatives showed a continuing upward trend in total business volume but a decrease in number of memberships and organizations between July 1, 1965 and June 30, 1966. Total gross business volume (including intercooperative business) handled by these cooperatives amounted to $ 20.6 billion. This was an increase of 5.1 percent from the $ 19.6 billion reported in the previous fiscal year. Total net business, after adjusting the gross figure for business done between cooperatives, amounted to $15.6 billion. This was an increase of 6.1 percent from the $14.7 billion net in 1964-65. The total number of farmer cooperatives decreased from 8,583 in 1964-65 to 8,329 in 1965-66 , a net decrease of 254 associations. The decline reflects a continuing reorganization trend involving merger, consolidation, and acquisition. Cooperative memberships totaled 6,826,275 in 1965-66, a decrease of 3.6 percent from 7,082,010 memberships reported for 1964-65. The drop continues the long-term trend of declining cooperative memberships due to the decreasing number of farmers in the United States.

description: To better understand the overlapping modular organization of large networks with respect to flow, here we introduce the map equation for overlapping modules. In this information-theoretic framework, we use the correspondence between compression and regularity detection. The generalized map equation measures how well we can compress a description of flow in the network when we partition it into modules with possible overlaps. When we minimize the generalized map equation over overlapping network partitions, we detect modules that capture flow and determine which nodes at the boundaries between modules should be classified in multiple modules and to what degree. With a novel greedy search algorithm, we find that some networks, for example, the neural network of C. Elegans, are best described by modules dominated by hard boundaries, but that others, for example, the sparse European road network, have a highly overlapping modular organization.

description: We provide a semiclassical optics derivation of Einstein's rate equations (ERE) for a two-level system illuminated by a broadband light field, setting a limit for their validity that depends on the light spectral properties (namely on the height and width of its spectrum). Starting from the optical Bloch equations for individual atoms, the ensemble averaged atomic inversion is shown to follow ERE under two concurrent hypotheses: (i) the decorrelation of the inversion at a given time from the field at later times, and (ii) a Markov approximation owed to the short correlation time of the light field. The latter is then relaxed, leading to effective Bloch equations for the ensemble average in which the atomic polarization decay rate is increased by an amount equal to the width of the light spectrum, what allows its adiabatic elimination for large enough spectral width. Finally the use of a phase-diffusion model of light allows us to check all the results and hypotheses through numerical simulations of the corresponding stochastic differential equations.

description: In supernova cores and neutron star crusts, nuclei are thought to deform to rodlike and slablike shapes, which are often called nuclear pasta. We study the equilibrium properties of the nuclear pasta by using a liquid drop model with curvature corrections. It is confirmed that the curvature effect acts to lower the transition densities between different shapes. We also examine the gyroid structure, which was recently suggested as a different type of nuclear pasta by analogy with the polymer systems. The gyroid structure investigated in this paper is approximately formulated as an extension of the periodic minimal surface whose mean curvature vanishes. In contrast to our expectations, we find from the present approximate formulation that the curvature corrections act to slightly disfavor the appearance of the gyroid structure. By comparing the energy corrections in the gyroid phase and the hypothetical phases composed of d-dimensional spheres, where d is a general dimensionality, we show that the gyroid is unlikely to belong to a family of the generalized dimensional spheres.

description: Experiments at high luminosity electron-positron colliders allow to study the kaon and the pion form factors in the time-like region up to high energies. Also the kaon and the pion pair production at and around the narrow resonances J/psi and psi(2S) can be investigated, with the interference between electromagnetic and hadronic amplitudes as one of the most interesting phenomenas. Parameterisations of charged and neutral kaon as well as pion form factors, which lead to an improved description of the data in the region of large invariant masses of the meson pair, are presented. They are implemented into the Monte Carlo generator PHOKHARA, together with the hadronic couplings of charged and neutral kaons to J/psi and psi(2S). The physics case as well as details of the implementation are discussed.

description: It has been realized for a long time that knowing the eta and eta^prime wave functions in terms of quark and gluon components probes our understanding of non-perturbative QCD dynamics. Great effort has been given to this challenge -- yet no clear picture has emerged even with the most recent KLOE data. We point out which measurements would be most helpful in arriving at a more definite conclusion. A better knowledge of these wave functions will significantly help to disentangle the weight of different decay subprocesses in semi-leptonic decays of D+, Ds^+ and B+ mesons. The resulting insights will be instrumental in treating even non-leptonic B transitions involving eta and eta^prime and their CP asymmetries; thus they can sharpen the case for or against New Physics intervening there.

description: In this paper, we address the logarithmic corrections to the leading power laws that govern thermodynamic quantities as a second-order phase transition point is approached. For phase transitions of spin systems on d-dimensional lattices, such corrections appear at some marginal values of the order parameter or space dimension. We present new scaling relations for these exponents. We also consider a spin system on a scale-free network which exhibits logarithmic corrections due to the specific network properties. To this end, we analyze the phase behavior of a model with coupled order parameters on a scale-free network and extract leading and logarithmic correction-to-scaling exponents that determine its field- and temperature behavior. Although both non-trivial sets of exponents emerge from the correlations in the network structure rather than from the spin fluctuations they fulfil the respective thermodynamic scaling relations. For the scale-free networks the logarithmic corrections appear at marginal values of the node degree distribution exponent. In addition we calculate scaling functions, which also exhibit nontrivial dependence on intrinsic network properties.

description: We develop a closed-form Haseman-Elston estimator for genetic and environmental correlation coefficients between complex phenotypes, which we term HEc, that is as precise as GCTA yet ∼20× faster. We estimate genetic and environmental correlations between over 7,000 phenotype pairs in subgroups from the Trans-Omics in Precision Medicine (TOPMed) program. We demonstrate substantial differences in both heritabilities and genetic correlations for multiple phenotypes and phenotype pairs between individuals of self-reported Black, Hispanic/Latino, and White backgrounds. We similarly observe differences in many of the genetic and environmental correlations between genders. To estimate the contribution of genetics to the observed phenotypic correlation, we introduce “fractional genetic correlation” as the fraction of phenotypic correlation explained by genetics. Finally, we quantify the enrichment of correlations between phenotypic domains, each of which is comprised of multiple phenotypes. Altogether, we demonstrate that the observed correlations between complex human phenotypes depend on the genetic background of the individuals, their gender, and their environment.

description: High critical temperature superconductors have zero power consumption and could be used to produce ideal electric power lines. The principal obstacle in fabricating superconducting wires and tapes is grain boundaries-the misalignment of crystalline orientations at grain boundaries, which is unavoidable for polycrystals, largely deteriorates critical current density. Here, we report that High critical temperature iron pnictide superconductors have advantages over cuprates with respect to these grain boundary issues. The transport properties through well-defined bicrystal grain boundary junctions with various misorientation angles (thetaGB) were systematically investigated for cobalt-doped BaFe2As2 (BaFe2As2:Co) epitaxial films fabricated on bicrystal substrates. The critical current density through bicrystal grain boundary (JcBGB) remained high (> 1 MA/cm2) and nearly constant up to a critical angle thetac of ~9o, which is substantially larger than the thetac of ~5o for YBCO. Even at thetaGB > thetac, the decay of JcBGB was much smaller than that of YBCO.

description: We set up the BPS equations for a D3-brane moving in AdS_5 \times S^5 which preserves two supercharges and with all bosonic fields turned on in the world-volume theory. By solving these, we find generalizations of Mikhailov giants and wobbling dual-giants that include electromagnetic waves propagating on their world-volume. For these giants (dual-giants) we show that the BPS field strength is the real part of the pull-back of a holomorphic 2-form in the ambient space C^3 (C^{1,2}) onto the world-volume.

Die sogenannte Self-Quantification als auch das sogenannte Lifelogging basieren jedoch grundlegend auf der Sammlung und Verarbeitung von Daten. Daher beleuchtet dieser Übersichtsartikel die bisherigen Studien zur Nutzersicht auf die Privatheit bei Lifelogging und Self-Quantification. Neben den Motivatoren zur Nutzung dieser Praktiken werden mögliche Datenschutzbedenken und -probleme, das Vorhandensein eines Datenschutzbewusstseins sowie mögliche datenschutzwahrende Handlungen beleuchtet. Folgende Studien können auf der Basis dieses Überblicks Forschungslücken identifizieren und zum weiteren Verständnis der Selbstvermessung beitragen.
Life cycle assessment of nitrogen efficiency strategies for Canadian egg supply chains
Creators: name: Zargar Ershadi, Shiva
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Rapid population growth and the associated rising demand for food are driving agricultural expansion and intensification. One important consequence is increased use and loss of reactive nitrogen (Nr) in agriculture – in particular in livestock production - precipitating Nr cascades with multiple impacts on ecosystems. Among livestock production systems, egg production is the fastest growing segment worldwide. Improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is a key priority for enabling more environmentally sustainable egg production. The objective of this research is to provide information to support NUE improvements along egg production supply chains while simultaneously minimizing “systems level” resource consumption and negative environmental impacts. NUE is influenced by feed production practices, feed composition, feed conversion efficiency, and manure management practices. Technological and management changes targeting these variables along egg supply chains to improve NUE can influence system-level environmental performance and resource efficiency. To consider the relative efficacy of Nr emissions mitigation options with respect to improving NUE and reducing resource use and emissions, life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology was employed. Potentially efficacious NUE improvement options (taking into account environmental, technical and economic criteria) were identified based on a literature review. Priority strategies were: “4Rs” practices and biochar addition to cropland for the feed input production stage; reduced crude protein diet via synthetic amino acid supplementation for the feed formulation stage; use of ammonia scrubbers in barns along with use of manure belts; biochar addition to the stored manure; and manure incorporation at time of field application. LCA, NUE, and N footprint results iv indicated that each mitigation option might be more or less suitable depending on kinds of environmental impacts considered. The application of scrubbers and biochar addition to the stored manure resulted in 10% and 3% higher NUE compared to the baseline, with considerable reduction of acidification and eutrophication impacts. However, they resulted in higher energy consumption, abiotic depletion and ozone layer depletion. Results clearly indicate that there is trade-offs among different impact categories and NUE for most NUE strategies. Hence, efforts to improve NUE must take into account a variety of potential resource and environmental impacts to ensure informed decision making.

description: The problem of the motion of high-energy wave packets combined of free electromagnetic waves is considered. It is demonstrated that the transformation of such packets to the packet of spherically diverging waves happens on long distances along the packet's motion direction, that substantially exceed the radiated wavelength. The transition radiation by the ``half-bare'' ultrarelativistic electron is considered. It is demonstrated that the transition radiation by such an electron on the targets located inside and outside the coherence length of the radiation process would be substantially different.

description: Excerpts from the report Highlights: The 1966-67 survey of marketing, farm supply, and related service cooperatives showed a continuing upward trend in total business volume but a decrease in number of memberships and organizations between July 1, 1966, and June 30, 1967. Total gross business volume (including intercooperative business) handled by these cooperatives amounted to $21.9 billion. This was an increase of 6.2 percent from the $20.6 billion reported in the previous fiscal year. Total net business, after adjusting the gross figure for business done between cooperatives, amounted to almost $16.6 billion. This was an increase of 6.1 percent from the $15.6 billion net in 1965-66. The total number of farmer cooperatives decreased from 8,329 in 1965-66 to 8,125 in 1966-67, a net decrease of 204 associations. The decline reflects a continuing reorganization trend involving merger, consolidation, and acquisition. Cooperative memberships totaled 6,501,700 in 1966-67, a decrease of 4.8 percent from 6,826,275 memberships reported for 1965-66. The drop continues the long-term trend of declining cooperative memberships due to the decreasing number of farmers in the United States.

description: I present improved predictions for the total hadronic cross section of stop-antistop production at hadron colliders including next-to-next-to-leading-order threshold corrections and approximated Coulomb corrections. The results are based on soft corrections, which are logarithmically enhanced near threshold. I present analytic formulas for the NNLO scaling functions at threshold and explicit numbers for the total hadronic cross sections for the Tevatron and the LHC. Finally I discuss the systematic error, the scale uncertainty and the PDF error of the hadronic cross section.
