description: We examine Illinois educational data from standardized exams and analyze primary factors affecting the achievement of public school students. We focus on the simplest possible models: representation of data through visualizations and regressions on single variables. Exam scores are shown to depend on school type, location, and poverty concentration. For most schools in Illinois, student test scores decline linearly with poverty concentration. However Chicago must be treated separately. Selective schools in Chicago, as well as some traditional and charter schools, deviate from this pattern based on poverty. For any poverty level, Chicago schools perform better than those in the rest of Illinois. Selective programs for gifted students show high performance at each grade level, most notably at the high school level, when compared to other Illinois school types. The case of Chicago charter schools is more complex. In the last six years, their students' scores overtook those of students in traditional Chicago high schools.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A new theoretical insight into the pattern of neutrino mixing and leptonic $CP$ violation is presented. It leads naturally and uniquely to a specific dark sector of three real neutral scalar singlets, with the radiative implementation of the inverse seesaw mechanism for neutrino mass. The new simple but crucial enabling idea is that a familiar $A_4$ transformation turns any orthogonal $3 \times 3$ matrix into one which predicts $θ_{23} = π/4$ and $δ_{CP} = \pm π/2$ for the neutrino mixing matrix, in good agreement with present data.

description: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of oral antihistamines (AHs), intranasal antihistamines (INAH) intranasal glucocorticosteroids (INCS), subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT), and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) in the management of allergic rhinitis (AR). The authors focused on the division into selected AR’s triggers: house dust mites (HDMs), grass pollen, and birch pollen. For each drug and allergen class, a meta-analysis of the efficacy and adverse events (AEs) was performed. The obtained results were presented as a therapeutic index (TIX-Score). Twenty-seven randomized clinical trials (RCTs) were included. The best total efficacy was observed for: HDMs for INCS and grass pollen for combination of INCS with INAH in a single device and for INAH. Considering the data that was obtained for birch pollen, SLIT showed statistically significant total efficacy. Summation scores for efficacy and AEs showed highest TIX-Score for combination of INCS and INAH in a single device in grass pollen. Treatment methods selected for this review may serve as an effective and safe treatment in reducing perennial and seasonal AR’s symptoms. However, due to high heterogeneity probably associated with potential confounders existence in control in some cases, results should be interpreted with caution.

description: The generalized approximate message passing (GAMP) algorithm is an efficient method of MAP or approximate-MMSE estimation of $x$ observed from a noisy version of the transform coefficients $z = Ax$. In fact, for large zero-mean i.i.d sub-Gaussian $A$, GAMP is characterized by a state evolution whose fixed points, when unique, are optimal. For generic $A$, however, GAMP may diverge. In this paper, we propose adaptive damping and mean-removal strategies that aim to prevent divergence. Numerical results demonstrate significantly enhanced robustness to non-zero-mean, rank-deficient, column-correlated, and ill-conditioned $A$.

description: Common textile fabrication techniques have been utilised as scalable and cost-effective production methods for fabricating flexible 3 D textile electrode platforms. These textile structures may be readily integrated with electroactive electrodes that can potentially carry out electrochemical detection in wearable devices. Here we demonstrate that conductive fibre or yarn-based electrodes can be readily incorporated into knitted and braided textile structures for electrochemical detection. Due to the poor nature of these commodity-based conducting yarns and fibres surface modification utilising electrodeposition of conducting polypyrrole and or gold nanoparticles was demonstrated to enhance the device performance.

description: This work presents how persistent predicates have been included in the in-memory deductive system DES by relying on external SQL database management systems. We introduce how persistence is supported from a user-point of view and the possible applications the system opens up, as the deductive expressive power is projected to relational databases. Also, we describe how it is possible to intermix computations of the deductive engine and the external database, explaining its implementation and some optimizations. Finally, a performance analysis is undertaken, comparing the system with current relational database systems.

description: Earth and orbital-based radar observations of asteroids provide a unique opportunity to characterize surface roughness and the dielectric properties of their surfaces, as well as potentially explore some of their shallow subsurface physical properties. If the dielectric and topographic properties of asteroid's surfaces are defined, one can constrain their surface textural characteristics as well as potential subsurface volatile enrichment using the observed radar backscatter. To achieve this objective, we establish the first dielectric model of asteroid Vesta for the case of a dry, volatile-poor regolith--employing an analogy to the dielectric properties of lunar soil, and adjusted for the surface densities and temperatures deduced from Dawn's Visible and InfraRed mapping spectrometer (VIR). Our model suggests that the real part of the dielectric constant at the surface of Vesta is relatively constant, ranging from 2.3 to 2.5 from the night- to day-side of Vesta, while the loss tangent shows slight variation as a function of diurnal temperature, ranging from 0.006 to 0.008. We estimate the surface porosity to be ~55% in the upper meter of the regolith, as derived from VIR observations. This is ~12% higher than previous estimation of porosity derived from previous Earth-based X- and S-band radar observation. We suggest that the radar backscattering properties of asteroid Vesta will be mainly driven by the changes in surface roughness rather than potential dielectric variations in the upper regolith in the X- and S-band.

description: Evolving therapeutic landscape through combinatorial chemistry and high throughput screening have resulted in an increased number of poorly soluble drugs. Drug delivery strategies quickly adapted to convert these drugs into successful therapies. Amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) technology is widely employed as a drug delivery strategy by pharmaceutical industries to overcome the challenges associated with these poorly soluble drugs. The development of ASD formulation requires an understanding of polymers and manufacturing techniques. A review of US FDA-approved ASD-based products revealed that only a limited number of polymers and manufacturing technologies are employed by pharmaceutical industries. This review provides a comprehensive guide for the selection and overview of polymers and manufacturing technologies adopted by pharmaceutical industries for ASD formulation. The various employed polymers with their underlying mechanisms for solution-state and solid-state stability are discussed. ASD manufacturing techniques, primarily implemented by pharmaceutical industries for commercialization, are presented in Quality by Design (QbD) format. An overview of novel excipients and progress in manufacturing technologies are also discussed. This review provides insights to the researchers on the industrially accepted polymers and manufacturing technology for ASD formulation that has translated these challenging drugs into successful therapies.

description: Che cosa abbiamo in comune, noi donne emancipate del mondo contemporaneo con la Sophie e la Julie rousseauiane? All’immagine della moglie-madre, dipendente dal maschile e totalmente dedita alla cura dell’altro, si contrappone oggi quella di un soggetto fiero della propria autonomia e finalmente autorizzato a prendersi cura di sé, dei propri desideri e aspettative, capace di perseguire con determinazione il proprio progetto di vita. Eppure molte ombre si addensano ancora sul percorso emancipativo delle donne, ombre che Rousseau, attraverso le sue ambiguità, ci consente di illuminare rivelandoci, sia pure indirettamente, una verità inquietante che persiste tuttora: il fatto cioè che a un’emancipazione giuridica, professionale e pubblica non corrisponde pienamente quella che vorrei definire ‘un’emancipazione emotiva’.

L’interiorizzazione della dipendenza permane, con la forza di un vero e proprio archetipo moderno, nella sfera dei sentimenti e delle relazioni affettive, a dispetto di incontestabili traguardi nella sfera materiale e sociale.

description: Containing the oldest stars in the Galaxy, globular clusters toward the bulge can be used to trace its dynamical and chemical evolution. In the bulge direction, there are ~50 clusters, but only about 20% have been subject of high-resolution spectroscopic investigations. So far, the sample observed at high resolution spans a moderate-to-high metallicity regime. In this sample, however, very few are located in the innermost region ($R_{GC}\leq$1.5\,Kpc and $|l, b|\leq5^{\circ}$). To constrain the chemical evolution enrichment of the innermost region of Galaxy, accurate abundances and abundance patterns of key elements based on high-resolution spectroscopy are necessary. Here we present the results we obtained for Terzan 1, a metal-poor cluster located in the innermost bulge region. Using the near-infrared spectrograph CRIRES at ESO/VLT, we obtained high-resolution (R$\approx$50,000) H-band spectra of 16 bright giant stars in the innermost region ($r\leq 60"$) of Terzan1. Full spectral synthesis techniques and equivalent width measurements of selected lines, isolated and free of significant blending and/or contamination by telluric lines, allowed accurate chemical abundances and radial velocities to be derived. Fifteen out of 16 observed stars are likely cluster members, with an average heliocentric radial velocity of +57$\pm$1.8\,km/s and mean iron abundance of [Fe/H]=--1.26$\pm$0.03\,dex. For these stars we measured some [$α$/Fe] abundance ratios, finding average values of [O/Fe]=+0.39$\pm$0.02\,dex, [Mg/Fe]=+0.42$\pm$0.02\,dex, [Si/Fe]=+0.31$\pm$0.04\,dex, and [Ti/Fe]=+0.15$\pm$0.04\,dex The $α$ enhancement ($\approx +0.4$\,dex) found in the observed giant stars of Terzan1 is consistent with previous measurements on other, more metal-rich bulge clusters, which suggests a rapid chemical enrichment.

description: Si analizza, con empatia, il pensiero di una femminista prematuramente scomparsa, Rosetta Stella, e attraverso il suo contributo si interroga il femminismo degli anni 90 , come riflessione che ha coniugato la libertà e la differenza femminile con il sapere della tradizione, sia quello espresso dalla filosofia, o dalla politica, o dalla storia. In particolare si ricorda il confronto di Stella con la religione per ribadire la materialità della trascendenza, smontando il nesso tra il sacro e il patriarcato, tra teologia e androcentrismo, tra il santo o la santità della fede e il monosessismo. Ripensare il cristianesimo, ripensare Dio era per lei e per molte altre oggi, non una questione teologica e di sapere, ma una questione di esperienza, pagando anche una certa marginalità.

title:  Wittgenstein e Bourdieu: dalla nozione di ‘regola’ alla concettualizzazione dell’‘habitus’
Creators: name: Visintini  ,  Giulia A.R.
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2018

description: Il testo ripercorre la genesi del concetto di ‘habitus’ elaborato dal filosofo, etnologo e sociologo francese Pierre Bourdieu, nella sua stretta correlazione con la nozione di ‘regola’ rintracciabile nelle Ricerche filosofiche (1953) del filosofo austriaco Ludwig Wittgenstein, cui Bourdieu esplicitamente si ispira. L’intento è quello di far emergere la continuità tra le due nozioni conducendone un’analisi che proceda a partire dagli stessi nuclei tematici. Viene fatto particolare riferimento ai testi bourdieusiani Per una teoria della pratica (1972) e Il senso pratico (1980), in cui l’habitus viene sistematicamente concettualizzato e impiegato per giungere a una ‘conoscenza prassiologica’. Si tratta di un approccio epistemologico grazie al quale superare la dicotomia tra soggettivismo e oggettivismo nell’analisi delle pratiche sociali e in particolare delle uniformità (di percezioni, valutazioni, attitudini, atteggiamenti, aspirazioni, preferenze, azioni, scelte) riscontrate all’interno di gruppi omogenei (per classe, genere, etnia, livello d’istruzione).

description: Species delimitation—owing to the paramount role of the species rank in evolutionary, ecological, and nature conservation studies—is an essential contribution of taxonomy to biodiversity research. In an ‘integrative taxonomy’ approach to species delimitation on the diploid level, we searched for evolutionary significant units (the warps and wefts) that gave rise to the polyploid complex of European ox-eye daisies (Leucanthemum; Compositae-Anthemideae). Species discovery and validation methods based on genetic, ecological, geographical, and morphometric datasets were applied to test the currently accepted diploid morpho-species, i.e., morphologically delimited species, in Leucanthemum. Novel approaches were taken in the analyses of RADseq data (consensus clustering), morphometrics of reconstructed leaf silhouettes from digitized herbarium specimens, and quantification of species-distribution overlaps. We show that 17 of the 20 Leucanthemum morpho-species are supported by genetic evidence. The taxonomic rank of the remaining three morpho-species was resolved by combining genealogic, ecologic, geographic, and morphologic data in the framework of von Wettstein’s morpho-geographical species concept. We herewith provide a methodological pipeline for the species delimitation in an ‘integrative taxonomy’ fashion using sources of evidence from genealogical, morphological, ecological, and geographical data in the philosophy of De Queiroz’s “Unified Species Concept”.

description: Syntax-directed translation tools require the specification of a language by means of a formal grammar. This grammar must conform to the specific requirements of the parser generator to be used. This grammar is then annotated with semantic actions for the resulting system to perform its desired function. In this paper, we introduce ModelCC, a model-based parser generator that decouples language specification from language processing, avoiding some of the problems caused by grammar-driven parser generators. ModelCC receives a conceptual model as input, along with constraints that annotate it. It is then able to create a parser for the desired textual syntax and the generated parser fully automates the instantiation of the language conceptual model. ModelCC also includes a reference resolution mechanism so that ModelCC is able to instantiate abstract syntax graphs, rather than mere abstract syntax trees.

description: Evolution in its course found a variety of solutions to the same optimisation problem. The advent of high-throughput genomic sequencing has made available extensive data from which, in principle, one can infer the underlying structure on which biological functions rely. In this paper, we present a new method aimed at extracting sites encoding structural and func- tional properties from a set of protein primary sequences, namely a Multiple Sequence Alignment. The method, called Critical Variable Selection, is based on the idea that subsets of relevant sites cor- respond to subsequences that occur with a particularly broad frequency distribution in the dataset. By applying this algorithm to in silico sequences, to the Response Regulator Receiver and to the Voltage Sensor Domain of Ion Channels, we show that this procedure recovers not only information encoded in single site statistics and pairwise correlations but it also captures dependencies going beyond pairwise correlations. The method proposed here is complementary to Statistical Coupling Analysis, in that the most relevant sites predicted by the two methods markedly differ. We find robust and consistent results for datasets as small as few hundred sequences, that reveal a hidden hierarchy of sites that is consistent with present knowledge on biologically relevant sites and evo- lutionary dynamics. This suggests that Critical Variable Selection is able to identify in a Multiple Sequence Alignment a core of sites encoding functional and structural information.

description: The efficacy and safety of chemotherapy are two major challenges when it comes to treating ovarian cancer. The associated undesirable side effects of chemotherapy agents jeopardize the clinical intent and the efficiency of the therapy. Multiple studies have been published describing new developments and novel strategies utilizing the latest therapeutic and drug delivery technologies to address the efficacy and safety of chemotherapeutics in ovarian cancers. We have identified five novel technologies that are available and, if used, have the potential to mitigate the above-mentioned challenges. Nanocarriers in different forms (Nano-gel, Aptamer, peptide medicated formulations, Antibody-drug conjugation, surface charge, and nanovesicle technologies) are developed and available to be employed to target the cancerous tissue. These strategies are promising to improve clinical efficacy and reduce side effects. We have systematically searched and analyzed published data, as well as the authors intent for the described technology on each publication. We narrowed to 81 key articles and extracted their data to be discussed in this review. In summary, the selected articles investigated the pharmacokinetic properties of drugs combined with nanocarriers and found significant improvement in efficacy and safety by reducing the IC50 values and drug doses. These key papers described promising novel technologies in anti-cancer therapeutic approaches to enable sustained drug release and achieve prolonged drug performance near the tumor site or target tissue.

description: In developing countries, interest in community forest management (CFM) has steadily increased over the last decade. Based on the extended political institutional analysis and development (P-IAD) framework, this paper analyzes the Chinese CFM system by combining the political-economic context, rules-in-use, and discourses to show alternative co-management practices. We find that CFM is rooted in national-level development strategies, embedded government-society relationships, and social development claims. This governance structure determines that the public sector guides the development and utilization directions of forest resources based on development planning and national discourses, while community leaders serve both villagers and the public sector. Over the course of development, this co-management system undergoes dynamic adjustments and gradually fulfills the evaluative criteria, including employing varied institutions, ordinary rules, and cross-scale connections. Compared with the previous co-management system, the current system presents the features of national layer penetration, continuous power coordination, and development orientation. The experience of Chinese CFM shows that scholars should focus on the impact of national-level macro strategies and social construction on natural resource management, not just cooperation between civilian agencies and the community. The findings provide developing countries with new thoughts for designing natural resource management systems.

This research uses an institutional capacity assessment framework to examine the ways in which a voluntary public standard for certifying eco-industrial parks affected the Vietnamese state’s capacity to coordinate and implement industrial ecology. The article draws upon the interviews and a review of official documentation to show that the benefits of public standards extend beyond compliance to the enhancement of state capacities to coordinate complex policy domains such as industrial ecology. The findings contribute to providing a basis to redesign standard-setting processes to move beyond end-user compliance and provide insights into how public actors can more effectively address ‘systemic’ sustainability challenges – from circular economy ambitions to the Sustainable Development Goals.

description: We review a recently proposed mechanism for superconductivity in hole-doped cuprates exhibiting a strong interplay between pairing and antiferromagnetism. Starting from the t-t'-J model for the CuO planes, we show that this interplay can explain in a unified framework the pseudogap phenomenology of the spectral weight of the hole, the hourglass-like structure of the magnetic excitation, the critical exponent of the superfluid density, the relation between the scale of the magnetic resonance and Tc.

description: L'immigrazione è una questione sociale e politica delicata che è difficile affrontare in una prospettiva razionale, ossia l'adozione di un'analisi costi / benefici. Il problema principale è che l'uomo per la strada ignora i benefici economici, finanziari e demografici che gli immigranti portano con sé, mentre sperimenta una competizione per quanto riguarda l'accesso all'occupazione e al benessere. Per i cinici mass media e politici, concentrandosi sul pubblico e sul consenso rispettivamente, gli immigrati stanno passando da un ruolo di capro espiatorio a quello di un pollo con uova d'oro.

description: The lack of supportive Schwann cells in segmental nerve lesions seems to be one cornerstone for the problem of insufficient nerve regeneration. Lately, adipose-tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) differentiated towards SC (Schwann cell)-like cells seem to fulfill some of the needs for ameliorated nerve recovery. In this study, three differentiation protocols were investigated for their ability to differentiate ASCs from rats into specialized SC phenotypes. The differentiated ASCs (dASCs) were compared for their expressions of neurotrophins (NGF, GDNF, BDNF), myelin markers (MBP, P0), as well as glial-marker proteins (S100, GFAP) by RT-PCR, ELISA, and Western blot. Additionally, the influence of the medium conditioned by dASCs on a neuron-like cell line was evaluated. The dASCs were highly diverse in their expression profiles. One protocol yielded relatively high expression rates of neurotrophins, whereas another protocol induced myelin-marker expression. These results were reproducible when the ASCs were differentiated on surfaces potentially used for nerve guidance conduits. The NGF secretion affected the neurite outgrowth significantly. It remains uncertain what features of these SC-like cells contribute the most to adequate functional recovery during the different phases of nerve recovery. Nevertheless, therapeutic applications should consider these diverse phenotypes as a potential approach for stem-cell-based nerve-injury treatment.

description: Aquatic resources support ecosystem functions and values, such as recreation, wildlife habitat, flood storage and nutrient reduction. Previous studies have found evidence that aquatic restoration programs can lead to systemic resource relocation and inequitable outcomes. This project advances the methodology to test for such inequality, applying geospatial methods within the U.S. state of New Hampshire to compare demographic profiles around sites with permitted losses of wetland functions and values, and separately, around sites where compensatory mitigation for such losses occurred. Contrary to expectations, we did not find permit sites tend to be located in areas with lower household incomes, lower education levels, or higher minority populations as compared to non-permit sites. We did find support for hypothesized patterns of lower minority populations, higher education levels, and higher household incomes around mitigation sites as compared to non-mitigation sites. Both permit and mitigation sites tend to be in areas with lower population densities, higher education levels, and higher percentages of white populations. Three different statistical approaches obtain results that diverge in their details but support a substantive conclusion: mitigation expenditures have gone disproportionately to more privileged locations. Our findings support integrating environmental justice considerations into implementation of compensatory mitigation policy.

description: A mathematically rigorous derivation of the first Vlasov equation as a well-known Schrödinger equation for the probabilistic description of a system and families of the classic diffusion equations and heat conduction for the deterministic description of physical systems was inferred. A physical meaning of the phase of the wave function which is a scalar potential of the probabilistic flow velocity is demonstrated. Occurrence of the velocity potential vortex component leads to the Pauli equation for one of the spinar components. A scheme of the construction of the Schrödinger equation solving from the Vlasov equation solving and vice-versa is shown. A process of introduction of the potential to the Schrödinger equation and its interpretation are given. The analysis of the potential properties gives us the Maxwell equation, the equation of the kinematic point movement, and the movement of the medium within electromagnetic fields equation.

description: A azulejaria foi utilizada em larga escala na cidade de Belém-PA, principalmente durante o século XIX como revestimento total de fachadas de edificações. No Cemitério da Soledade, inaugurado em 1850, destacam-se exemplares únicos de sepulturas azulejadas, mas que apresentam deteriorações em função da exposição às intempéries e proximidade com o solo.  A pesquisa tem como objetivo a restauração dos azulejos de sepultura do Cemitério da Soledade, por meio de técnicas de restauro à frio e à quente. O elenco consiste na sepultura azulejada C11. A metodologia foi dividida em: pesquisa histórico documental;  documentação e mapeamento de danos; remoção dos azulejos; investigação laboratorial (microscopia ótica, microscopia eletrônica de varredura com sistema de energia dispersiva, difração de raios-X, traço mais provável da argamassa de assentamento); requeima dos azulejos à 500°C; reconstituição volumétrica e pictórica à frio, com  uso de argamassa polimérica de Primal AC-33, areia e pó cerâmico, e Paraloid B-72 e pigmentos puros; produção de réplicas à quente. No mapeamento de danos foram identificados: colonização biológica, perda de vidrado, perda de material cerâmico, manchas escuras, fratura, depósitos de parafina e de produto de corrosão, e lacuna azulejar. As sujidades, depósitos e colonizações superficiais foram removidas no processo de limpeza dos azulejos. A requeima eliminou as manchas escuras existentes no vidrado. A recomposição volumétrica e pictórica dos azulejos, bem como a produção de réplicas permitirá o restauro da legibilidade da sepultura. Este é um trabalho em andamento, que contribuirá para futuras restaurações no Parque Cemitério e de azulejos históricos considerando a especificidade do clima amazônico.
