description: In this work, pure MCM-41 mesoporous silica with active mesoporous sites has been successfully applied, as a highly efficient and recoverable catalyst, for the rapid and convenient synthesis of α-aminonitriles and imines. Various imines, as the intermediate of the Strecker reaction, were simply prepared from condensation of a wide range of aldehydes and amines in the presence of low loading of MCM-41 mesoporous silica under solvent-free conditions at room temperature in high to quantitative yields. Furthermore, the corresponding α-aminonitrile derivatives were prepared through the three-component Strecker reaction using trimethylsilylcyanide catalyzed by MCM-41 as a bifunctional heterogeneous mesoporous solid catalyst.

description: Recently, the LHCb collaboration has reported the excesses in the $b \to s ll$ processes. One of the promising candidates for new physics to explain the anomalies is the extended Standard Model (SM) with vector-like quarks and leptons. In that model, Yukawa couplings between the extra fermions and SM fermions are introduced, adding extra scalars. Then, the box diagrams involving the extra fields achieve the $b \to s ll$ anomalies. It has been known that the excesses require the large Yukawa couplings of leptons, so that this kind of model can be tested by studying correlations with other observables. In this paper, we consider the extra scalar to be a dark matter (DM) candidate, and investigate DM physics as well as the flavor physics and the LHC physics. The DM relic density and the direct-detection cross section are also dominantly given by the Yukawa couplings, so that we find some explicit correlations between DM physics and the flavor physics. In particular, we find the predictions of the $b \to s ll$ anomalies against the direct detection of DM.

Mathematical models of tissue development
Creators: name: Hecht, Sophie
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: How tissues develop and regulate their growth is a key question in biology. Studies of developing tissue have identified possible regulators of growth such, as chemical signalling and mechanical forces. This thesis aims to understand the influence of mechanical feedback on the development of the imaginal of Drosophila. In particular, we focus on understanding the mechanisms by which an organ knows when it has reached its adult size and shape and stops growing. As mechanical forces can influence the development at different scales, going from the compression of a single cell to the whole tissue stretching, this thesis is separated in two part. In the first part, the influence of the structure of the imaginal disc of Drosophila on growth regulation is studied. This study leads to the development of continuous two-populations models with segregation constraints. The asymptotic limits of the partial differential equation (PDE) models, related to the two populations model, into a Hele-Shaw free boundary model are shown. The new models developed are used to study the impact of local stresses on the development of the imaginal disc of Drosophila. The second part considers the influence of crowding in the imaginal disc of Drosophila and the effect of nuclear movement on growth regulation in dense tissue. We develop an individual-based model for the interkinetic nuclear movement in pseudostratified epithelia, founded upon a minimisation framework. The new model is tuned to study the influence of crowding in the specific case of the imaginal disc of Drosophila through biological data. In particular, we consider the effect of the crowding on the cell cycle and propose a mechanism to explain some of its phase transition.

description: We show that the homotopy groups of a connective $E_k$-ring spectrum with an $E_k$-cell attached along a class $α$ in degree $n$ are isomorphic to the homotopy groups of the cofiber of the self-map associated to $α$ through degree $2n$. Using this, we prove that the $2n-1^{st}$ homotopy groups of Ravenel's $X(n)$ spectra are cyclic for all $n$. This further implies that, after localizing at a prime, $X(n+1)$ is homotopically unique as the $E_1$-$X(n)$-algebra with homotopy groups in degree $2n-1$ killed by an $E_1$-cell. Lastly, we prove analogous theorems for a sequence of $E_k$-ring Thom spectra, for each odd $k$, which are formally similar to Ravenel's $X(n)$ spectra and whose colimit is also $MU$.

A Lyapunov function construction for a non-convex Douglas-Rachford iteration

description: While global convergence of the Douglas-Rachford iteration is often observed in applications, proving it is still limited to convex and a handful of other special cases. Lyapunov functions for difference inclusions provide not only global or local convergence certificates, but also imply robust stability, which means that the convergence is still guaranteed in the presence of persistent disturbances. In this work, a global Lyapunov function is constructed by combining known local Lyapunov functions for simpler, local sub-problems via an explicit formula that depends on the problem parameters. Specifically, we consider the scenario where one set consists of the union of two lines and the other set is a line, so that the two sets intersect in two distinct points. Locally, near each intersection point, the problem reduces to the intersection of just two lines, but globally the geometry is non-convex and the Douglas-Rachford operator multi-valued. Our approach is intended to be prototypical for addressing the convergence analysis of the Douglas-Rachford iteration in more complex geometries that can be approximated by polygonal sets through the combination of local, simple Lyapunov functions.

Distinguishability in quantum interference
Creators: name: Jones, Alexander Edward
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Quantum interference constitutes one of the sharpest divides between our classical intuition and the weirdness of the quantum world. Whenever there are multiple paths leading to the same outcome, it is the interplay of associated probability amplitudes that determines measurement results. In the double slit experiment, wave-like interference governs the distribution of particles on a detection screen. Extending to multiple particles allows behaviour that cannot be described by a classical wave, such as the bunching of photon pairs in Hong-Ou-Mandel interference. In both these examples, the ability to distinguish the interfering paths leads to degradation of interference and a return to behaviour described by probabilities. Understanding how this transition evolves for larger multiparticle quantum systems is of fundamental interest and also vital for developing photonic quantum technologies that rely on many-photon interference. In this thesis we investigate the role of distinguishability in the interference of three and four independent photons by using polarisation and time delays. For three photons, a new type of collective distinguishing phase appears that goes beyond a pairwise description of the similarity of quantum states. We use nonlinear photon sources and a fibre interferometer to experimentally demonstrate the ability to tune and isolate this phase in interference statistics. Extending to four photons we show that, contrary to intuition from two-photon experiments, the interference of photons prepared in distinguishable states is possible due to a four-particle phase. This is confirmed experimentally using a bulk four-mode interferometer. We then extend our study to include the effects of state impurity in the interference of three photons. New properties of this interference enable diagnosis of realistic experimental imperfections and characterisation tasks impossible using only two photons. Finally, we link discussions of state distinguishability to the group representations underpinning the exchange symmetry of multiparticle wavefunctions.

description: The first detection of a quantum particle on a graph has been shown to depend sensitively on the sampling time τ . Here we use the recently introduced quantum renewal equation to investigate the statistics of first detection on an infinite line, using a tight-binding lattice Hamiltonian with nearest- neighbor hops. Universal features of the first detection probability are uncovered and simple limiting cases are analyzed. These include the small τ limit and the power law decay with attempt number of the detection probability over which quantum oscillations are superimposed. When the sampling time is equal to the inverse of the energy band width, non-analytical behaviors arise, accompanied by a transition in the statistics. The maximum total detection probability is found to occur for τ close to this transition point. When the initial location of the particle is far from the detection node we find that the total detection probability attains a finite value which is distance independent.

Shock-induced energy transfers in MHD
Creators: name: Nwobu, Francis Obiora
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: In magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow control, an applied magnetic field can manipulate the flow properties of an ionised gas in order to improve vehicle performance in high-speed flight applications. Shock-wave turbulence interactions (SWTIs) are a fundamental feature of high-speed flows. They play a key role in predictions of transition, drag and heat transfer in flow control configurations. In hydrodynamics, linear theory is a good predictor of turbulent kinetic energy amplification in SWTIs, however, at present similar linear analysis is missing from MHD. In the present study, linear theory is developed and combined with direct numerical simulations (DNS) to investigate the production of vorticity (an indicator of turbulent kinetic energy) by small-amplitude entropy disturbances incident on an isolated fast shock in two- and three-dimensions. Entropy disturbances in the form of planar waves and Gaussian-distributed spots are considered. The angle of an imposed mean magnetic field is varied in order to study downstream vorticity production for thermodynamic and magnetic pressure-dominated regimes respectively. Linear theory indicates total vorticity production is suppressed for magnetic pressure-dominated flows, however, vorticity transport in the fastest refracted mode is amplified. DNS results of two-dimensional planar waves (of amplitude 1% the base flow) incident on a fast shock at angles above and below a critical value compare well with linear theory predictions. DNS results near the critical angle noticeably diverge from the linear theory. However, the linear reconstruction of the two-dimensional entropy spot-fast shock interaction shows very good agreement with DNS for 1% and 10% disturbances - a 10% upstream turbulence intensity is common in SWTIs studies. DNS of the three-dimensional entropy spot-fast shock interaction shows in-plane vorticity production similar to the two-dimensional case with the three-dimensional distribution appearing to constitute an extrusion of in-plane structures.

Care trajectories and planning at the end-of-life: Evidence from international studies of ageing
Creators: name: Orlovic, Martina
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Objective: End-of-life care is an increasingly important topic on the healthcare agenda of many countries around the world. Current demographic trends indicate increasing demand for end-of-life care, as longevity and increased multi-morbidity is becoming more common. Many people at the end-of-life do not receive the desired care leading to suboptimal outcomes and healthcare budget inefficiencies. Design: Observational cohort study design. Setting: The United States, using data from the HRS (9,228 participants who died between 2002 to 2014 and 37,494 individuals surveyed biennially from 1992 to 2014); England, using the ELSA data (992 participants who died between 2004 to 2013); and 16 European countries and Israel, using data from the SHARE (5,343 participants who died between 2006 and 2013). Measurements: Logistic regression analysis was applied to examine the determinants of the place of death. Random-effects logistic regression analysis was used to examine the determinants of end-of-life planning. Finally, logistic regression analyses were employed to examine the racial and ethnic differences in the place of death, intensity of end-of-life care and the availability and the content of the end-of-life instructions. Results: End-of-life care and planning varies substantially across different territories and population groups. The financing mechanism of end-of-life care and patient characteristics such as age, terminal illness, cohabitation status and racial and ethnic background are important determinants of end-of-life care. Conclusions: Public support is needed to facilitate equitable access to institutional and formal out-of-hospital end-of-life care services. Increasing choice and lowering the cost burden of end-of-life care will enable individuals to receive the patient-centred care and reduce dependency on acute terminal care. Advance care planning is an integral part of good-quality end-of-life care. Attitudes to end-of-life care and planning vary across different patient groups. Understanding and respecting these differences is needed to increase the end-of-life planning participation and improve delivery of good-quality end-of-life care.

description: Enzyme application has gained importance over the past decade in bioprocess, biomedical, and pharmaceutical fields. We found that polyglycerol dendrimers (PGDs), which are biocompatible molecules, can recover alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) from aqueous solution under elevated temperature. A low concentration of PGD (5 wt.%) is sufficient for the recovery of high enzymatic activity, although a high concentration (25–75 wt.%) of glycerol is generally required to stabilize ADH. The enzymatic activity of ADH in suspension with PGDs is over 60% but it is only 10% in that with glycerol. The results of osmolarity and spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) of water measurements in the presence of PGDs suggest that increased amounts of bound water to PGD molecules trigger aggregation along with the direct interaction with ADH. PGDs therefore represent good potential additives for direct recovery of enzymes from aqueous solutions.

description: The associated production of Higgs boson with a hard photon at lepton collider, i.e., $e^+e^-\to Hγ$, is known to bear a rather small cross section in Standard Model, and can serve as a sensitive probe for the potential new physics signals. Similar to the loop-induced Higgs decay channels $H\to γγ, Zγ$, the $e^+e^-\to Hγ$ process also starts at one-loop order provided that the tiny electron mass is neglected. In this work, we calculate the next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD corrections to this associated $H+γ$ production process, which mainly stem from the gluonic dressing to the top quark loop. The QCD corrections are found to be rather modest at lower center-of-mass energy range ($\sqrt{s}<300$ GeV), thus of negligible impact on Higgs factory such as CEPC. Nevertheless, when the energy is boosted to the ILC energy range ($\sqrt{s}\approx 400$ GeV), QCD corrections may enhance the leading-order cross section by $20\%$. In any event, the $e^+e^-\to Hγ$ process has a maximal production rate $σ_{\rm max}\approx 0.08$ fb around $\sqrt{s}= 250$ GeV, thus CEPC turns out to be the best place to look for this rare Higgs production process. In the high energy limit, the effect of NLO QCD corrections become completely negligible, which can be simply attributed to the different asymptotic scaling behaviors of the LO and NLO cross sections, where the former exhibits a milder decrement $\propto 1/s$ , but the latter undergoes a much faster decrease $\propto 1/s^2$.

description: We propose a hybrid quantum repeater based on ancillary coherent field states and material qubits coupled to optical cavities. For this purpose, resonant qubit-field interactions and postselective field measurements are determined which are capable of realizing all necessary two-qubit operations for the actuation of the quantum repeater. We explore both theoretical and experimental possibilities of generating near-maximally-entangled qubit pairs ($F>0.999$) over long distances. It is shown that our scheme displays moderately low repeater rates, between $5 \times 10^{-4}$ and $23$ pairs per second, over distances up to $900$ km, and it relies completely on current technology of cavity quantum electrodynamics.

description: Spices and herbs are recognized as sources of natural antioxidants and thus play an important role in the chemoprevention of diseases and aging. Piper cubeba is one among them and known for its medicinal properties for decades. Various biological activities are associated with its extract and phytocompounds. However, the anti-mutagenic activity of antioxidant rich extract is less explored. In this study, we performed the fraction-based antioxidant activity of P. cubeba using four different assays and evaluated the anti-mutagenic activity of most potent antioxidant fraction using Salmonella typhimurium tester strains against four mutagens (methyl methanesulfonate [MMS], sodium azide [SA], benzo(a)pyrene, and 2-aminoflourene) respectively. Among all tested fractions at 25–200 µg/ml, ethanolic extract revealed highest antioxidant activity and significant anti-mutagenicity against both direct and indirect acting mutagens at least one tester strain. Phytochemical analysis by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS) revealed the presence of various phytocompounds including copaene, isocaryophyllene, α-cubebene, etc. Molecular docking studies on DNA binding interactions of GC/MS detected phytocompounds highlight the possible mode of binding. In summary, these in vitro studies have provided the scientific basis for validation of using this plant in the traditional system of medicine and highlighted the need for exploring the role of various compounds for therapeutic efficacy. On the other hand, synergistic interaction among phytocompounds is to be explored to optimize or standardize the extracts for the exploitation in modern phytomedicine.

description: Microplastics, pervasive environmental contaminants, present a growing threat to human health through diverse exposure routes and systemic bioaccumulation. This review provides current knowledge on human exposure pathways, including ingestion of contaminated food and water, inhalation of airborne particles, and dermal absorption from consumer products. Detection challenges in human tissues are examined, emphasizing advancements in spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. These techniques reveal widespread microplastic presence in blood, organs, and biological fluids. The analysis outlines mechanisms by which these MP particles induce oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and cellular toxicity across multiple organ systems. Cardiovascular risks emerge from particle-induced endothelial dysfunction and plaque instability, while neurotoxic effects stem from blood-brain barrier penetration and neurotransmitter disruption. Endocrine and reproductive systems face particular vulnerability due to polymer-leached disruptors and transgenerational exposure. The review identifies critical knowledge gaps in nanoparticle toxicokinetics and long-term health impacts, highlighting the need for standardized detection protocols and mixture toxicity assessments. Current evidence underscores microplastics as catalysts for chronic diseases through synergistic interactions with environmental pollutants and compromised immune responses. Mitigating this planetary health crisis demands urgent policy reforms, sustainable material innovation, and interdisciplinary research to unravel complex exposure-toxicity relationships, informing preventive strategies against plastic pollution's escalating burden on human wellbeing.

description: Aiming to search for a signal of space-time noncommutativity, we study a quasinormal mode spectrum of the Reissner Nordström black hole in the presence of a deformed space-time structure. In this context we study a noncommutative (NC) deformation of a scalar field, minimally coupled to a classical Reissner Nordström background. Our model is thus semiclassical from the beginning and scalar field is in addition minimally coupled to U(1) gauge field. The deformation is performed via particularly chosen Killing twist to yield a geometrical form of the action, which maintains the diffeomorphism invariance manifest, as well as the invariance under a deformed gauge symmetry group. We find the quasinormal mode solutions of the equations of motion governing the matter content of the model in some particular range of system parameters which corresponds to a near extremal limit. In addition, we obtain a well defined analytical condition which allows for a detailed numerical analysis. Moreover, there exists a parameter range, rather restrictive though, which allows for obtaining a QNM spectrum in a closed analytic form. We also argue within a semiclassical approach that NC deformation does not affect the Hawking temperature of thermal radiation.

description: Over the years, the social sciences have become increasingly data intensive. Hence, data repositories must facilitate the identification and location of data. Persistent identification is essential for sustainable and reliable resource discovery and reuse. The use of a persistent identifier (PID) supports data access, referencing data and data citation. However using PIDs pose complex technical and organizational challenges to data providers. This presentation discusses our paper on the use of PIDs within CESSDA ERIC (Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives European Infrastructure Research Consortium). CESSDA ERIC provides its communities with well documented, verifiable and understandable research data. This can be majorly supported by the assignment of PIDs, that are unique on a global scale. In order to find a common approach to the use of PIDs among CESSDA members, CESSDA started the PID project in 2015. For this project, GESIS conducted quantitative and qualitative surveys among CESSDA members, to assess their current status and their needs concerning PID usage. The results of these surveys lay the groundwork for the CESSDA ERIC Persistent Identifier Policy. Those surveys, their results as well as the resulting PID Policy shall be presented here.
The Influence of Jacob Bryant on William Blake
Creators: name: Svatik, Stephen
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland
Year: 1969

description: To understand William Blake's complex mythology, one must understand the sources of his theories. A primary source of mythic material in the eighteenth century was the research and writings of the antiquarians, principally of Jacob Bryant. Blake shared with the antiquarians a desire to understand the origins of man and of the development of man's political and religious institutions. But while the mythographers concentrated on giving simply a temporal account of the development of man and society, Blake expanded on their accounts of history by analyzing the importance of inner man in the development of his social institutions. In A New System, Jacob Bryant discusses three points of mutual interest for Blake. First, he dismisses Greek mythology for having corrupted the truth concerning man's past. Second, he attributes the degeneration of religion to man's error of materialism. And third, he discusses the fragmentation of society and man's subsequent fall from an earlier period of unity, freedom, and peace. Blake's writings contain concepts similar to those of Bryant, but Blake modified and refined them to fit into his unique mythological structure. Blake's most significant departure from Bryant is his paralleling of man's social and political conflicts with man's failure to maintain an equilibrium of his inner essences in his establishing a ratio between the inner man and the outer world. Blake's mythopoeic imagination surpasses those of Bryant and the antiquarians in meaning and significance when he goes on to forsee man's return to unity, to a Golden Age of freedom and peace.

description: We consider the problem of computing first-passage time distributions for reaction processes modelled by master equations. We show that this generally intractable class of problems is equivalent to a sequential Bayesian inference problem for an auxiliary observation process. The solution can be approximated efficiently by solving a closed set of coupled ordinary differential equations (for the low-order moments of the process) whose size scales with the number of species. We apply it to an epidemic model and a trimerisation process, and show good agreement with stochastic simulations.

description: We consider the scenario of deterministic classical information transmission between multiple senders and a single receiver, when they a priori share a multipartite quantum state -- an attempt towards building a deterministic dense coding network. Specifically, we prove that in the case of two or three senders and a single receiver, generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (gGHZ) states are not beneficial for sending classical information deterministically beyond the classical limit, except when the shared state is the GHZ state itself. On the other hand, three- and four-qubit generalized W (gW) states with specific parameters as well as the four-qubit Dicke states can provide a quantum advantage of sending the information in deterministic dense coding. Interestingly however, numerical simulations in the three-qubit scenario reveal that the percentage of states from the GHZ-class that are deterministic dense codeable is higher than that of states from the W-class.

description: We analyze the consistency of a recently proposed real tachyon vacuum solution without square roots in open bosonic string field theory. We show that the equation of motion contracted with the solution itself is satisfied. Additionally, by expanding the solution in the basis of the curly $\mathcal{L}_0$ and the traditional $L_0$ eigenstates, we evaluate numerically the vacuum energy and obtain a result in agreement with Sen's conjecture.

Rasgos de oralidad en El matadero de E. Echeverría y su traducción al italiano
Creators: name: Ariolfo, Rosana
Publisher: name: Artifara
Year: 2020

description: No cabe duda de que son muchos los problemas que plantea traducir un texto literario. Cuestiones como la distancia temporal y cultural, el léxico, la sintaxis, la utilización de figuras retóricas, los registros, etc., obligan al traductor a reflexionar acerca de las estrategias y de las técnicas de traducción que mejor se adecuan a su proyecto, por lo que asume el rol de intérprete, mediador y re-escritor. En el presente artículo nos proponemos identificar y clasificar algunos fragmentos de oralidad extraídos de una obra breve, pero compleja, El matadero, de Esteban Echeverría -conocido panfleto político del romanticismo argentino-, para luego plantear el problema que implica su trasvase al italiano a través del análisis de las técnicas adoptadas en las dos traducciones italianas publicadas hasta el momento.

description: A Richardson triple is an ideal fluid flow map $g_{t/\ep,t,\ep t} = h_{t/\ep}k_t l_{\ep t}$ composed of three smooth maps with separated time scales: slow, intermediate and fast; corresponding to the big, little, and lesser whorls in Richardson's well-known metaphor for turbulence. Under homogenisation, as $\lim \ep\to0$, the composition $h_{t/\ep}k_t $ of the fast flow and the intermediate flow is known to be describable as a single stochastic flow $\dd g$. The interaction of the homogenised stochastic flow $\dd g$ with the slow flow of the big whorl is obtained by going into its non-inertial moving reference frame, via the composition of maps $(\dd g)l_{\ep t}$. This procedure parameterises the interactions of the three flow components of the Richardson triple as a single stochastic fluid flow in a moving reference frame. The Kelvin circulation theorem for the stochastic dynamics of the Richardson triple reveals the interactions among its three components. Namely, (i) the velocity in the circulation integrand acquires is kinematically swept by the large scales; and (ii) the velocity of the material circulation loop acquires additional stochastic Lie transport by the small scales. The stochastic dynamics of the composite homogenised flow is derived from a stochastic Hamilton's principle, and then recast into Lie-Poisson bracket form with a stochastic Hamiltonian. Several examples are given, including fluid flow with stochastically advected quantities, and rigid body motion under gravity, i.e., the stochastic heavy top in a rotating frame.

Animalità e psicoanalisi. Dalla parola al corpo
Creators: name: Cimatti, Felice
Publisher: name: Animot
Year: 2017

description: Nella situazione analitica classica – un paziente sul lettino, alle sue spalle su una poltrona un analista – non ci sono altri animali a parte quelli umani. Freud teneva la sua amata Jofi vicino a sé durante le sedute. Ma Jofi non è un animale in carne e ossa, o almeno, non è solo quello. L’animalità compare in più riprese nei celebri casi affrontati da Freud e nelle indagini di Jung fino ad attraversare il lavoro di Deleuze e Guattari e rappresenta una vera e propria sfida alla psicoanalisi.

Animal sacrum. La differenza animale
Creators: name: Benvenuto, Sergio
Publisher: name: Animot
Year: 2017

description: Di solito, i filosofi trovano gli animali degli enti concettualmente inquietanti. Gli animali sfidano il cartesiano che si annida in tanti di noi: se gli animali non sono macchine, come pensava Descartes, dove situarli allora nell’interstizio tra pensieri e cose? Eppure la gamma ricchissima dell’animalità, sfida questa separazione categoriale. L’animalità, dispiegamento di differenze continue, mina la severa discontinuità che la filosofia di solito privilegia. Non a caso Derrida propone di eliminare la categoria singolare Animale e di parlare di animot, qualcosa che tradurrei con animaledetti per contestare l’unità di tutto il vivente non umano in opposizione all’umano.

description: Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sirukumab in Japanese patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) uncontrolled by disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. Methods: This subgroup analysis based on a double-blind, placebo-controlled, 52-week phase 3 study (SIRROUND-D) assessed American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 response at week 16 and van der Heijde-modified Sharp score (vdH-S) at week 52 (coprimary endpoints). Results: A total of 168 (Japanese)/1670 patients received sirukumab 50 mg/4 weeks (q4w, n = 58), 100 mg/every 2 weeks (q2w, n = 54), or placebo (n = 56) subcutaneously. Significantly more patients achieved ACR20 response at week 16 with sirukumab (50 mg q4w: 69.0%; 100mg q2w: 66.7%) vs. placebo (21.4%; p p = .024; 100 mg q2w: 0.0, p = .002) vs. placebo (1.3). Sirukumab consistently showed greater improvements in secondary endpoints at weeks 24 and 52. Nasopharyngitis, elevated liver enzymes, injection site erythema and upper respiratory tract infections were the common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Incidences of TEAEs and serious AEs were consistent between sirukumab groups through week 52. Conclusion: Sirukumab showed clinically meaningful improvements consistent with significant improvements in the global study. No new safety signals were observed.
Storie di cani. La cinofilia freudiana

description: All'interno del bestiario psicanalitico, i cani si incontrano spesso, e chiunque conosca i dettagli della vita di Freud sa che era un amante dei cani. Sarebbe un errore separare l'attenzione affezionata che Freud nutriva per questi animali nella vita familiare dalla sua pratica analitica e dal lavoro teorico. Al fine di comprendere meglio il ruolo dei cani nel bestiario freudiano va tenuta presente inoltre la sua amicizia con la principessa Maria Bonaparte, anche lei amante dei cani e collezionista di antichità. Congiungendo i fili del racconto, le vite e le opere di Freud e della Bonaparte rivelano la caninità che li teneva uniti, oltre al ricco bestiario che attraversa le rispettive scritture.

Perceived Meaningfulness of Semantically Noncongruent Stimuli Increases in Art Context

description: The media occasionally report instances where people mistake ordinary objects for art. This often happens in art galleries or museums and might suggest that people attribute meaning differently depending on whether the context is artistic or rooted in everyday life. In this manuscript, we investigate how people attribute meaning to seemingly nonsensical sentences and images when they believe they are made by poets or artists. We used a collection of sentences that conclude with semantically congruent and noncongruent words, and a collection of images where the object is either congruent or noncongruent with the background. We randomly assigned participants to the baseline and experimental (art) conditions, telling participants in the art condition that the sentences/images were created by artists. Studies 1 and 2 found that the art context increases the perceived meaningfulness of noncongruent sentences (‘Most cats see well at court’), but not the congruent ones (‘Most cats see well at night’), while Study 3 found a similar effect regarding noncongruent images (a lion in an office) and congruent images (a lion in a field). Additionally, we discuss how individual differences in aberrant salience and religiosity moderate the main effects of the art context on meaning-making. These results advance our theoretical understanding of how art contexts affect the interpretation of meaning and the importance of semantic noncongruency.
Verticale / Animale: Differenze di specie, Teoria freudiana e il caso storico dell’Uomo dei lupi
Creators: name: Ray, Nicholas
Publisher: name: Animot
Year: 2017

description: Fino a che punto la teoria freudiana registra la significanza della nostra percezione delle differenze al di là della sfera degli esseri umani e della morfologia umana? Quali indicazioni ci sono del modo in cui la comprensione delle distinzioni all’interno di una stessa specie e tra specie diverse può interessare la vita interiore al livello più elementare? E quale riconoscimento può esserci, in Freud, delle conseguenze psichiche della cesura simbolica tendenziosa fra ciò che è “umano” e ciò che rientra nella categoria grossolanamente omogenea di “animale”, che si insinua nel tessuto stesso della moderna esperienza di sé? Porre queste domande, allora, è già interrogarsi su qualcosa che potrebbe essere, per così dire, più latente che manifesto nell’opera di Freud: qualcosa che potrebbe presentarsi in modo parziale o frammentario, e che deve essere ricostruito; o qualcosa che potrebbe affiorare in timide ipotesi e in speculazioni poi eclissate dalla teoria dominante; o infine, sintomaticamente, proprio in quanto interruzione, che potrebbe essere analizzata come la conseguenza differita di un’emarginazione o di un’esclusione nell’ambito di una dottrina più vasta.
