Model-based network discovery of developmental and performance-related differences during risky decision-making
Creators: name: Telzer, Eva H

name: Gates, Kathleen M
Publisher: name: Elsevier
Year: 2018

description: Theories of adolescent neurodevelopment have largely focused on group-level descriptions of neural changes that help explain increases in risk behavior that are stereotypical of the teen years. However, because these models are concerned with describing the "average" individual, they can fail to account for important individual or within-group variability. New methodological developments now offer the possibility of accounting for both group trends and individual differences within the same modeling framework. Here we apply GIMME, a model-based approach which uses both group and individual-level information to construct functional connectivity maps, to investigate risky behavior and neural changes across development. Adolescents (N=30, Mage=13.22), young adults (N=23, Mage=19.19), and adults (N=31, Mage=43.93) completed a risky decision-making task during an fMRI scan, and functional networks were constructed for each individual. We took two subgrouping approaches: 1) a confirmatory approach where we searched for functional connections that distinguished between our a priori age categories, and 2) an exploratory approach where we allowed an unsupervised algorithm to sort individuals freely. Contrary to expectations, we show that age is not the most influence contributing to network configurations. The implications for developmental theories and methodologies are discussed.
La testimonianza letteraria come fonte storica: il caso della letteratura dei gulag
Creators: name: Jurgenson, Ljuba
Publisher: name: Firenze University Press
Year: 2016
Subjects: document; history; literature; memory; testimony

description: The tension or even antagonism between testimony and historical writing has nourished epistemological studies at the crossroads of several disciplines (philosophy, sociology, literature). However, the specificity of the testimonies of the Gulag is rarely taken into account by this analysis. This article proposes some paths of reflection on the epistemological perspectives of the dialogue between the historian and the authors of testimonies.

description: Em 1973 Harold Bloom publicou o livro The Anxiety of Influence: A Theory of Poetry. Uma variação sobre este título poderá ser-nos hoje útil para abordar um outro tipo de ansiedade: o da unidade. Os campos da edição e da interpretação vivem imersos nesse outro tipo de ansiedade. Tanto a interpretação, preocupada com a intenção do autor, da obra ou do leitor, como a edição, angustiada com as intenções finais do autor e o estabelecimento do copy-text, parecem, por vezes, pouco capazes de se libertarem desse ensejo de unidade e de se adaptarem à existência da multiplicidade. Neste artigo, procuro fazer um novo apelo a uma necessária mudança de paradigma, atendendo, em especial, às novas e libertadoras possibilidades potenciadas pela edição electrónica. In 1973 Harold Bloom published his book The Anxiety of Influence: A Theory of Poetry. A variation on this title might be useful for us today to refer to another kind of anxiety: the anxiety of unity. The fields of editing and interpretation lie within this other kind of anxiety. Interpretation, concerned with the author’s, the reader’s or the work’s intention, and editing, worried about the author’s final intentions and the setting up of the copy-text, seem, at times, unable to free themselves from the need to attain unity and adapt to the existence of multiplicity. In this article I intend to make a new appeal on behalf of a change of paradigm, addressing, especially, the new and liberating possibilities of electronic editing

Dall’America, al Nord Africa, all’Europa: William Burroughs migrante in cerca di auto-definizione
Creators: name: Bacherini, Gabriele
Publisher: name: Firenze University Press
Year: 2016
Subjects: avant-garde; biography; Burroughs; cut-up; migration

description: Can someone who does not come from areas which are afflicted by war and/or famine – but, on the contrary, from the upper class of a rich and powerful country like the United States of America – be considered a “migrant” writer? How many kinds of migration and “migrant” literature actually exist? Following biographical, psychological and literary paths, this article will attempt to answer these questions by analysing one of the most iconic but also least understood personalities of the twentieth century, William Burroughs: the inner reasons of his travels across four continents and several countries, and the consequent meaning of “travel” in his writing.

“La mano nella terra”. Spaesamento e redenzione di un “conquistatore conquistato” nel Paraguay del XVI secolo
Creators: name: Di Meglio, Francesca
Publisher: name: Firenze University Press
Year: 2016
Subjects: Conquistador; Josefina Plá; Otherness; reconciliation; sense of displacement

description: In her short story “La mano en la tierra” Josefina Pla outlines a “postmodern” portrait of the sixteenth-century hidalgo Don Blas, whose language is initially marked by the difference between Western hegemonic discourse and the subdued and subaltern Otherness of the natives. However, he gradually realizes not only the estrangement effect of his contact with the guarani people, but also a sense of displacement due both to the semantic crisis caused by contamination and his sense of alienation within his own family. Only at the end, thanks to the blue colour of his mestizo son’s eyes, does he recognize himself as a foreigner among foreigners, as half of a world which is completed by the Other, and reach a reconciliation that opens the door to the counter-conquest of future Americans.

description: The Adolescent Medicine Trials Network for HIV/AIDS Interventions is evaluating treatment adherence interventions (AI) to improve virologic suppression (VS) among youth with HIV (YWH). Using a microsimulation model, we compared two strategies: standard-of-care (SOC) and a hypothetical 12-month AI that increased cohort-level VS in YWH in care by an absolute ten percentage points and cost $100/month/person. Projected outcomes included primary HIV transmissions, deaths and life-expectancy, lifetime HIV-related costs, and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs, $/quality-adjusted life-year [QALY]). Compared to SOC, AI would reduce HIV transmissions by 15% and deaths by 12% at 12 months. AI would improve discounted life expectancy/person by 8 months at an added lifetime cost/person of $5,300, resulting in an ICER of $7,900/QALY. AI would be cost-effective at $2,000/month/person or with efficacies as low as a 1 percentage point increase in VS. YWH-targeted adherence interventions with even modest efficacy could improve life expectancy, prevent onward HIV transmissions, and be cost-effective.

La migrazione urbana in Sevgili Arsız Ölüm  di Latife Tekin: luoghi, forme e strategie narrative di un “esilio domestico”
Creators: name: Maraucci, Tina
Publisher: name: Firenze University Press
Year: 2016
Subjects: city; language; nation; Turkish internal migration; Turkish migration literature

description: This article investigates the topic of urban migration in the works of Latife Tekin, one of the most original Turkish novelist in the 1980s. I will consider in particular her first novel Sevgili Arsız Olum (1983; Dear Shameless Death, 2001) focusing on two interrelated notions: language and the city. The main aim is to highlight how Tekin depicts the city, where peasants from Anatolia migrated, as a locus of displacement and alienation from national physical and cultural space. In doing so she uses the phenomenon of internal migration as a key to critically re-interpreter cultural patterns of Turkish unaccomplished modernization and nation-building projects. I will also take into account the notion of language as a central one in Tekin’s poetics, leading the writer to develop new forms and strategies to represent both migration and urban space.

Carlos Germán Belli e la sua poesia classica e anticlassica
Creators: name: Canfield, Martha L.
Publisher: name: Firenze University Press
Year: 2016
Subjects: classical canon; Generation of 1950; Peruvian poetry; pleasure and enjoyment; vanguards

description: This article tries to provide the reader with the fundamental elements for a journey through Carlos Germán Belli’s poetry. The analysis starts from his life and the artistic situation in which he began to write, followed by examination of the peculiar features of his poetry as well as his search for consolation in writing and the metaphorical constructions (the cud) created to explain the conflict between body and soul. In this analysis, the study of the relationship between classic and the avant-garde poetry is central, as is the close link between the modern and aesthetic criteria of the Old World, with which the author shapes a lexical and semantic mix, which allows him to express all the innate pain of humankind through topical themes with a unique exciting lyricism.

Las lenguas inmigratorias y la política académica en la Argentina de la primera mitad del siglo XX
Creators: name: Lafuente, Silvia
Publisher: name: Firenze University Press
Year: 2016
Subjects: hybridization; multi-linguistic contact; national identity; popular language; Spanish academicism

description: In Latin America, Spanish culture and language were reformulated and subject to a hybridization process. American Spanish, rich in varieties, modified on the American soil by contact with other indigenous, African languages and European migrations, has never been provincial localism but contact experience. It is interpreted as such by Vicente Rossi in Los folletos lenguaraces, a sort of counter-philology that appeared in Argentina during the ’20s. This work offers a vast popular language glossary that highlights the limited skills of the most outstanding philologists to interpret it. During the first decades of the 20th century, the Philology Institute of the Faculty of Literature at the University of Buenos Aires was one of the active stakeholders posing resistance against immigration languages, above all italianisms. The opposition to linguistic cosmopolitanism mostly concerned lexical matters with critics focusing above all on changes and borrowings at this language level. However, since the evolution of languages depends more on the practice of speakers rather than academicians’ decisions, it is clear that the prolonged use of words, in this case italianisms, led to their full adoption and acceptance in standard Argentinian Spanish.

Multi-Atlas Segmentation of MR Tumor Brain Images Using Low-Rank Based Image Recovery
Creators: name: Shen, Dinggang

name: Ahmad, Sahar
Publisher: name: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
Year: 2018

description: We introduce a new multi-atlas segmentation (MAS) framework for MR tumor brain images. The basic idea of MAS is to register and fuse label information from multiple normal brain atlases to a new brain image for segmentation. Many MAS methods have been proposed with success. However, most of them are developed for normal brain images, and tumor brain images usually pose a great challenge for them. This is because tumors cause difficulties in registration of normal brain atlases to the tumor brain image. To address this challenge, in the first step of our MAS framework, a new low-rank method is used to get the recovered image of normal-looking brain from the MR tumor brain image based on the information of normal brain atlases. Different from conventional low-rank methods that produce the recovered image with distorted normal brain regions, our low-rank method harnesses a spatial constraint to get the recovered image with preserved normal brain regions. Then in the second step, normal brain atlases can be registered to the recovered image without influence from tumors. These two steps are iteratively proceeded until convergence, for obtaining the final segmentation of the tumor brain image. During the iteration, both the recovered image and the registration of normal brain atlases to the recovered image are gradually refined. We have compared our proposed method with state-of-the-art methods by using both synthetic and real MR tumor brain images. Experimental results show that our proposed method can get effectively recovered images and also improves segmentation accuracy.
Pasos perdidos y pesados, cronache di passaggi di frontiera nell’opera di Gunter Silva Passuni
Creators: name: Cairati, Elisa
Publisher: name: Firenze University Press
Year: 2016
Subjects: double absence; experiencia transmigráfica; migrant writing; migration studies; Peruvian contemporary literature

description: This article aims to include the collection of short stories Cronicas de Londres (2012) and the novel Pasos pesados (2016) by the Peruvian writer Gunter Silva Passuni in the Latin American migration literature paradigm. The author builds a narrative path, with autobiographical reflections, which focus on the complexity of migrant subjectivity and his double epistemological status: he is both emigrant and immigrant, following the pattern of “double absence” theorized by Sayad. Therefore, the literary experience becomes a possibility of cultural rehabilitation in a subject in transit, marked by a non-dialectic synthesis of his identity produced by the arguably compulsory crossing of the border.

Visioni e proiezioni della Vergine in Gonzalo de Berceo e Juana de Ibarbourou
Creators: name: Spadola, Carmelo Andrea
Publisher: name: Firenze University Press
Year: 2016
Subjects: Literary landscape; Marian litany; Medieval Spain; Uruguay; vision of the Virgin

description: In this article we present an examination of the representation of the Virgin in “Loores de Nuestra Senora” by Gonzalo de Berceo – an exponent of Medieval literature dedicated to Mary – and in Juana de Ibarbourou, a spokeswoman of 20th century Uruguayan literature. Even though both authors are situated along different temporal and geographical axes, at first reading, in both works, we observe the presence of several important convergences and contaminations. But, what is the idea of the Virgin in the two poets? And what is the kind of landscape configuration in the two texts dedicated to Mary? By a comparative analysis, following the theoretical and critical approaches of Jean-Pierre Richard and Michel Collot, our aim is to answer to this kind of question.

Il mito di Lope de Aguirre in due opere della drammaturgia franchista e postfranchista
Creators: name: Fiore, Arianna
Publisher: name: Firenze University Press
Year: 2016
Subjects: conquest; Gonzalo Torrente Ballester; Ignacio Amestoy Egiguren; Lope de Aguirre; Twentieth-century Spanish theatre

description: Twentieth-century Spanish theatre is often inspired by the figure of Lope de Aguirre, with motifs and modes that change depending on time, considering 1939 and 1975 two crucial watershed moments in the cultural history of the Iberian Peninsula. The dramatic works analysed date back precisely to the years of Franco’s dictatorship and the democratic period: in 1941 Gonzalo Torrente Ballester was the first twentieth-century dramatist to devote a text, entitled Lope de Aguirre, to the life of the Basque conqueror. The work, for reasons that will be explored in the present essay, was never staged in Franco’s time: Ballester’s Aguirre is a romantic hero who defies the king to defeat the injustices which he is forced to witness, and everyone, men, women, blacks, indios, will at last be free under his red-black banner. Dona Elvira, Imaginate Euskadi (1985), by Ignacio Amestoy Egiguren, is the first published work in the democratic era. It can be read as a great metaphor of the Basque issue, the tragedy of Euskadi and the climate of violence and tension that characterized the Basque Country in the 1980s.

La poesia di Lêdo Ivo e il viaggio come dimensione dell’esistenza
Creators: name: De Oliveira, Vera Lucia
Publisher: name: Firenze University Press
Year: 2016
Subjects: Brazilian literature; Brazilian poetry; contemporary literature of Portuguese language; Lêdo Ivo; literature and travel

description: I propose here to analyse a peculiar tendency of Ledo Ivo’s poetics, namely his propensity to travel and a continuous and fruitful dialogue with his time and the greatest writers of world literature. In particular, special attention is devoted to the book Mormaco/Calima, published in 2011, shortly before his death in 2012. In this book, the lyrical I goes on a sort of pilgrimage to the places and works that influenced him most. The exegesis is of a comparative nature since Ledo Ivo’s typical poetry promotes an intense dialogue not only with the authors of Brazilian and Portuguese literature but also with those of other European liter1atures as a whole.

description: Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown great clinical and practical values in computer-aided brain disorder identification. Multi-site MRI data increase sample size and statistical power, but are susceptible to inter-site heterogeneity caused by different scanners, scanning protocols, and subject cohorts. Multi-site MRI harmonization (MMH) helps alleviate the inter-site difference for subsequent analysis. Some MMH methods performed at imaging level or feature extraction level are concise but lack robustness and flexibility to some extent. Even though several machine/deep learning-based methods have been proposed for MMH, some of them require a portion of labeled data in the to-be-analyzed target domain or ignore the potential contributions of different brain regions to the identification of brain disorders. In this work, we propose an attention-guided deep domain adaptation (AD2A) framework for MMH and apply it to automated brain disorder identification with multi-site MRIs. The proposed framework does not need any category label information of target data, and can also automatically identify discriminative regions in whole-brain MR images. Specifically, the proposed AD2A is composed of three key modules: (1) an MRI feature encoding module to extract representations of input MRIs, (2) an attention discovery module to automatically locate discriminative dementia-related regions in each whole-brain MRI scan, and (3) a domain transfer module trained with adversarial learning for knowledge transfer between the source and target domains. Experiments have been performed on 2572 subjects from four benchmark datasets with T1-weighted structural MRIs, with results demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method in both tasks of brain disorder identification and disease progression prediction.

Il formalismo russo, Roman Jakobson e la linguistica nella prima metà del Novecento
Creators: name: Baldi, Benedetta
name: Savoia, Leonardo M.
Publisher: name: Firenze University Press
Year: 2016
Subjects: history of linguistics; phonology; poetic language; Roman Jakobson; Russian Formalism

description: This article addresses the relation between Russian Formalism and linguistic thought in the first decades of the twentieth century. The theory of literary language proposed by the Formalist School assigns a central role to the linguistic devices that characterize a text as poetic or literary; the basic idea is that these devices work as a system, a notion derived from Saussurean linguistics. The leading figure we consider is Roman Jakobson, a key interpreter of Formalism, and, at the same time, an original and influential linguist. In his work the interpretation of poetic language is related to an overall linguistic theory, where the properties of natural languages, crucially phonology, and the use (functions) of language have a theoretical characterization.

Subjects: Digital textuality; multimodal analysis; social semiotics; software studies; systemic functional linguistics

description: The aim of this article is to offer a reflection on digital textuality with reference to language and software studies. Indeed, digital language – more specifically, the language of social media – is characterized by an important postmodern component, especially in relation to the discursive practices selected by users in composing their messages; at the same time, this type of textuality is highly influenced by the architecture of the platforms where such messages are created and shared. The methodological component of the article will be given by a combination of systemic-functional linguistics, computer-mediated-communication, information theory and multimodality, approached socio-semiotically.

Subjects: El punto ciego; faction; Javier Cercas; metaliterature; postmodern literature

description: This article focuses on a particular feature of postmodernism, the tendency of writers to become critics as well, and at the same time, turn their own literature into a reflection on how to create literature. In the Iberian context, Javier Cercas, a contemporary writer of international renown, has characterized his production by continuous reflection on the novel, conducted both in the works of fiction, in which the meta-literary component becomes ever more present, to reach a mixed genre with blurred boundaries, and also in his works of non-fiction. This study focuses on this particular aspect of Cercas’ bibliography, attaching particular importance to El punto ciego, Javier Cercas’s most recent essay, published in 2016.

description: Social media platforms are increasingly being used for communication between various internet usergenerations. In education, online learning is becoming an effective tool to increase students’ engagement inclass. Students have the advantage of the emerging numerous social media platforms to access educationinformation and for socializing, communicating, and engaging with peers in educational institutions.Academic institutions and educators grasp the opportunity by embracing platforms like YouTube, TikTok,and Instagram to engage students better and deliver instructional content. The shift in how students learnand interact has brought forth key questions about the place of social media in collaborative learning and asa potentially valuable teaching tool. Educators must adapt their teaching methodologies in accordance withthese platforms to enable the students to succeed academically and technologically. The study carried out inthe Tourism and Hospitality Department, Politeknik Sultan Idris Shah Malaysia, to find the associationbetween social media usage for collaborative learning and student academic performance. Hence, thisresearch aims to examine the relationship between peer and lecturer interactivity, collaborative learning,engagement, and academic performance in social media learning in the higher education context. 218students from within the department participated in the survey. The findings, assessed using Partial leastsquares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), reveal that peer and lecturer interactions positivelyinfluence active collaborative learning, and collaborative learning is a significant predictor of studentengagement, ultimately enhancing their academic performance. This research underlines higher education'sneed to nurture social media to foster collaborative learning environments and improve educationalperformance.

Network Mapping with GIMME
Creators: name: Gates, Kathleen M.
name: Beltz, Adriene M.
Publisher: name: Taylor & Francis
Year: 2017

description: Network science is booming! While the insights and images afforded by network mapping techniques are compelling, implementing the techniques is often daunting to researchers. Thus, the aim of this tutorial is to facilitate implementation in the context of GIMME, or group iterative multiple model estimation. GIMME is an automated network analysis approach for intensive longitudinal data. It creates person-specific networks that explain how variables are related in a system. The relations can signify current or future prediction that is common across people or applicable only to an individual. The tutorial begins with conceptual and mathematical descriptions of GIMME. It proceeds with a practical discussion of analysis steps, including data acquisition, preprocessing, program operation, a posteriori testing of model assumptions, and interpretation of results; throughout, a small empirical data set is analyzed to showcase the GIMME analysis pipeline. The tutorial closes with a brief overview of extensions to GIMME that may interest researchers whose questions and data sets have certain features. By the end of the tutorial, researchers will be equipped to begin analyzing the temporal dynamics of their heterogeneous time series data with GIMME.
Travelling TexTs alla Nordic Digital Humanities Conference: Riflessioni sulla situazione di Digital Humanities nell’ottica della storia letteraria finlandese
Creators: name: Parente-Čapková, Viola
Publisher: name: Firenze University Press
Year: 2016
Subjects: cultural transfer; digital humanities; distant reading / close reading; literary history; women writers

description: In my contribution, I intend to offer a report on the first conference of Nordic Digital Humanities held in Oslo on March 15-17 2016. I begin with a brief note on the present situation of the discipline, and, following the arguments brought up during the conference, reflect on its existence, development and problems. Then I concentrate on the presentation of the HERA funded Joint Research Project Travelling TexTs 1790–1914: Transnational Reception of Women’s Writing at the Fringes of Europe (Finland, Norway, Slovenia, Spain, The Netherlands) and the importance of the digital tool for the project work. I tackle the concept of distant and close reading and comment briefly on the possibilities which such projects offer in terms of new ways of writing and teaching (Finnish) literary history.

‘Tell me what makes life worth living’: The role of authorial subjectivity in addressing gaps and silences in women’s life narratives in biofiction
Creators: name: FAICHNEY, ELOISE GRACE
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2021
Subjects: classificationCode: 360201
subject: Creative writing (incl. scriptwriting)

description: This thesis comprises Civil Savages, a biofiction novel, and a complementary exegesis that contextualises and investigates the creative choices made in the novel. Civil Savages is inspired by the lives of Scottish writer, Naomi Mitchison, and English explorer, Zita Baker. The exegesis discusses the concerns of biofiction scholarship, focusing specifically on the question of truth in biofiction, biofiction’s role in examining gaps and silences in women’s life narratives, and the projection of authorial subjectivity, arguing that the latter is the guiding impetus that shapes the writing of a biofiction novel. This research adds to the field of existing studies on Mitchison, by offering a new understanding of her life narrative through a fictional imagining of the experiences documented in her life writing and brings the life narrative of Baker into the scholarly discourse.

description: Youth living with behaviorally acquired HIV (YLWH) are at-risk for both neuropsychological disorders and antiretroviral therapy (ART) non-adherence; little is known about their interrelationship over time in YLWH. Neuropsychological and psychiatric functioning, substance use, and self-report of 7-day/week and weekend ART adherence were assessed at baseline and Weeks 24, 48, 96 and 144 of a longitudinal study evaluating the impact of early (CD4>350) versus standard of care (CD4≤350) treatment initiation on neuropsychological functioning in 111 treatment-naive YLWH age 18-24 years at entry. Bayesian multi-level models for adherence (≥90% vs. <90%) were fit using random intercepts for repeated measures. Adjusted odds ratios (OR [95% credible interval]) for higher versus lower baseline Motor function for visit adherence were 0.58 (0.25, 1.16), 0.5 (0.15, 1.38), 0.52 (0.16, 1.52), and 0.94 (0.3, 2.8) at Weeks 24, 48, 96, and 144, respectively. Week 24 adherence was associated with higher adjusted odds of Motor function at Week 48 (week: 0.27, -0.05-0.59; weekend: 0.28, -0.07-0.62). Week 96 Complex Executive functioning was associated with higher adjusted odds of adherence at Week 144, OR=4.26 (1.50, 14.33). Higher Motor functioning emerged most consistently associated with lower odds of adherence in YLWH. Complex Executive functioning was associated with adherence only at end of study, suggesting potential contribution in adherence over the long-term.

description: Next generation pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) modalities that do not require daily regimens may address some of the barriers to daily oral PrEP among young men who have sex with men (YMSM). We conducted online semi-structured interviews with 30 YMSM to examine experiences and preferences related to HIV prevention care that may inform implementation of next generation PrEP. Barriers to PrEP care included initiating conversations about sexuality with providers; confidentiality concerns regarding disclosure of sexual practices and PrEP use to family; gaps in access to healthcare; and limited availability of affordable health services. Future implementation of next generation PrEP may benefit from providers addressing confidentiality concerns when discussing PrEP with YMSM; PrEP programs accounting for discontinuities in healthcare access among YMSM while strengthening access to affordable services; and collaborations between generalist providers and specialized clinics and providers to address providers' education needs, which may increase as next generation PrEP becomes available.
