Gran cosa non avere una mente? Il giudizio fra ragione e sentimenti

Year: 2021

description: Il dualismo tra emozione e ragione ha permeato a lungo l?esperienza del giudizio: croce (la prima) e delizia (la seconda) del giusto decisore, secondo un?opinione diffusa. Tuttavia, con l?indebolirsi della narrazione razionalista, per la quale � opportuno che nel momento decisionale la ragione sottometta le emozioni, nell?ultimo decennio si sono moltiplicati gli studi sull?ineliminabile ruolo che le emozioni svolgono durante l?attivit� cognitiva. I contributi qui raccolti s?inseriscono in quest?ambito di ricerca, offrendo al lettore giurista una panoramica ad ampio spettro. Dall?Antigone di Sofocle alle trasmissioni televisive di Tv Justi�a in Brasile, dal Law and Literature all?informatica giuridica, si snoda un filo rosso che unisce diritto, logica e neuroscienze, grazie al quale � possibile ripensare la complessit� sottesa alla decisione. Quasi in filigrana, dalla lettura dei diversi autori, emerge la necessit� d?inquadrare il ragionamento giudiziale in una cornice argomentativa inclusiva, secondo la lezione aristotelica, di logos, pathos ed ethos. Una prospettiva retorica, quindi, capace di offrire nuova linfa agli studi logico-giuridici, ma soprattutto di custodire l?autentica natura ? relazionale ? dell?uomo attraverso lo strumento della decisione giudiziale.

Existential completion and pseudo-distributive laws: an algebraic approach to the completion of doctrines
Creators: name: Trotta, Davide
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento
Year: 2019

description: The main purpose of this thesis is to combine the categorical approach to logic given by the study of doctrines, with the universal algebraic techniques given by the theory of the pseudo-monads and pseudo-distributive laws. Every completions of doctrines is then formalized by a pseudo-monad, and then combinations of these are studied by the analysis of the pseudo-distributive laws. The starting point are the works of Maietti and Rosolini, in which they describe three completions for elementary doctrines: the first which adds full comprehensions, the second comprehensive diagonals, and the third quotients. Then we determine the existential completion of a primary doctrine, and we prove that the 2-monad obtained from it is lax-idempotent, and that the 2-category of existential doctrines is isomorphic to the 2-category of algebras for this 2-monad. We also show that the existential completion of an elementary doctrine is again elementary and we extend the notion of exact completion of an elementary existential doctrine to an arbitrary elementary doctrine. Finally we present the elementary completion for a primary doctrine whose base category has finite limits. In particular we prove that, using a general results about unification for first order languages, we can easily add finite limits to a syntactic category, and then apply the elementary completion for syntactic doctrines. We conclude with a complete description of elementary completion for primary doctrine whose base category is the free product completion of a discrete category, and we show that the 2-monad constructed from the 2-adjunction is lax-idempotent.
Hydrogen peroxide thermochemical oscillator as driver for primordial RNA replication

Year: 2014

description: This paper presents and tests a previously unrecognised mechanism for driving a replicating molecular system on the prebiotic earth. It is proposed that cell-free RNA replication in the primordial soup may have been driven by self-sustained oscillatory thermochemical reactions. To test this hypothesis a well-characterised hydrogen peroxide oscillator was chosen as the driver and complementary RNA strands with known association and melting kinetics were used as the substrate. An open flow system model for the self-consistent, coupled evolution of the temperature and concentrations in a simple autocatalytic scheme is solved numerically, and it is shown that thermochemical cycling drives replication of the RNA strands. For the (justifiably realistic) values of parameters chosen for the simulated example system, the mean amount of replicant produced at steady state is 6.56 times the input amount, given a constant supply of substrate species. The spontaneous onset of sustained thermochemical oscillations via slowly drifting parameters is demonstrated, and a scheme is given for prebiotic production of complementary RNA strands on rock surfaces.
description: Submitted 14 Nov 2013 to J. Roy. Soc. Interface, accepted in final form 25 Feb 2014. An article on this paper appears on https://theconversation.com/au. A new recipe for primordial soup on the pre-biotic earth may help answer questions about the origin of life, and explain why new life does not emerge from non-living precursors on the modern earth

description: We present the nucleon axial and electromagnetic form factors using $N_\textrm{f}$=2+1+1 ensembles of twisted mass fermions with clover improvement and with masses tuned to their physical values. Excited state effects are studied using several sink-source time separations in the range 0.8 fm - 1.6 fm, exponentially increasing statistics with the separation such that statistical errors remain approximately constant. In addition, quark loop disconnected diagrams are included in order to extract the isoscalar axial form factors and the proton and neutron electromagnetic form factors, as well as their strange-quark contributions. The radii and moments are extracted by modelling the $Q^2$ dependence, including using the so-called $z$-expansion. A preliminary assessment of lattice cut-off effects is presented using two lattice spacings directly at the physical point.

On Seymour's Decomposition Theorem

description: Let $\mathcal M$ be a class of matroids closed under minors and isomorphism. Let $N$ be a matroid in $\mathcal M$ with an exact $k$-separation $(A, B)$. We say $N$ is a $k$-decomposer for $\mathcal M$ having $(A, B)$ as an inducer, if every matroid $M\in \mathcal M$ having $N$ as a minor has a $k$-separation $(X, Y)$ such that, $A\subseteq X$ and $B\subseteq Y$. Seymour [3, 9.1] proved that a matroid $N$ is a $k$-decomposer for an excluded-minor class, if certain conditions are met for all 3-connected matroids $M$ in the class, where $|E(M)-E(N)|\le 2$. We reinterpret Seymour's Theorem in terms of the connectivity function and give a check-list that is easier to implement because case-checking is reduced.

description: NICER, the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer, uses Pulse Profile Modeling (PPM) to measure neutron star masses and radii. PPM which exploits relativistic effects on X-rays emitted from the hot magnetic polar caps of millisecond pulsars, also lets us map the hot emitting regions on the stellar surface. I will present NICER’s latest results and discuss the implications for our understanding of ultradense matter, pulsar emission, and stellar magnetic fields. I will also discuss the prospects for neutron star mass-radius and surface-mapping measurements with Athena, using PPM and other techniques.
title: Science Capital and Communication between non-scientists and scientists of the Criminal Justice System of the UK

Publisher: name: University of Dundee

description: The way decision-makers in the Criminal Justice System engage with scientific evidence is critical since it has the potential to impact the investigative process and criminal trials, convictions and sentencing. Using science education research and theories, the Science Capital tool was adapted to gain a better understanding of the relationship that non-science decision-makers have with science. Decision-making styles and competences were also assessed in order to examine how the relationship scene examiners, police officers and lawyers have with science may affect the decisions they make during a criminal investigation and judicial process. The results of this study have demonstrated significant differences in Science Capital between scene examiners, police officers and lawyers. In addition, regression analyses suggested variations in the extent to which Science Capital impact the professionals’ decision-making competence.

These findings lead to further research on the potential operative and interactive differences found in the communication process between non-science decision-makers and forensic scientists during the course of an investigation. The thematic analysis of the data collected through semi-structured interviews uncovered six themes: Network, Education, Interactions, Collaboration, Remote Communication and Experience. The analysis has also allowed the identification of communication channels, enablers and barriers to communication and has given insight into the nature of their interactions and the networking opportunities presented to scene examiners, police investigators, prosecutors and defence lawyers. This study uncovered systemic barriers to communication between defence lawyers and forensic scientists, which may hinder defence lawyers' understanding of scientific findings. These findings suggest that the communication processes in place do not allow for the optimal delivery of justice. The implications include the need for explicit recognition of the value of communication and networking as efficient components of the forensic process.

description: The current work extends the phenotypic and molecular characterization of the bacterial culture collection from the Rouge River to gain an understanding of the physiology of the strains and their potential for biotechnological applications. Phenotypic and molecular analyses were performed on six unique strains. Most of the strains tested for hydrolytic activities were positive for the production of enzymes, in contrast to previously described species that showed very little hydrolase activities. Little antibiotic resistance was seen among the strains, although Halobacillus (strain 9-gw1-su5-2) was found to be the most resistant to antibiotics. Results revealed the physiological diversity of the strains in terms of their ability to metabolize unusual and refractory substrates. Of the 31 toxic organic compounds, 2 to 18 were used by the strains. Clostridium (strain 9-gw1-su5-2) exhibited the broadest utilization capability. The isolates were versatile in their nutrient abilities and represented a potential source of bacteria and/or genetic material for the degradation of contaminants and biotechnological applications. © 2010 Taylor & Francis.

description: We have performed a deep [SII]6717/6731 wide field Herbig-Haro (HH) object survey toward the Vela C molecular cloud with a sky coverage of about 2 deg2. In total, 18 new HH objects, HH 1090-1107, are discovered and the two previously known HH objects, HH 73-74, are also detected in our [SII] images. We also present an investigation of mid-infrared outflows in the Vela C molecular cloud using the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer images taken from AllWISE data release. Using the method suggested by Zhang & Wang, eleven extended green objects (EGOs) are identified to be the mid-infrared outflows, including 6 new mid-infrared outflows that have not been detected previously at other wavelengths and 5 mid-infrared counterparts of the HH objects detected in this work. Using the AllWISE Source Catalog and the source classification scheme suggested by Koenig et al., we have identified 56 young stellar object (YSO) candidates in the Vela C molecular cloud. The possible driving sources of the HH objects and EGOs are discussed based on the morphology of HH objects and EGOs and the locations of HH objects, EGOs and YSO candidates. Finally we associate 12 HH objects and five EGOs with 10 YSOs and YSO candidates. The median length of the outflows in Vela C is 0.35pc and the outflows seem to be oriented randomly.

description: Compost processing is assumed to be related to the microbial communities present. However, methods that will evaluate these relationships are not well understood. In this study, terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis was used to evaluate the diversity of PCR-amplified bacterial 16S fungal 18S rDNA communities from manure composts at different stages of composting (initial [day 0], thermophilic [day 24], and mature [day 104]). Results showed that the bacterial and fungal community profiles changed over the composting process, with bacterial communities showing a higher diversity compared with the fungal communities. During the thermophilic stage (day 24), the diversity of the bacterial communities increased, while the fungal communities decreased. As the compost reached maturity (day 104), a reverse pattern was observed between the diversity of bacterial and fungal communities. That is, the 18S rDNA T-RFLP-based diversity indices increased, while the 16S rDNA T-RFLP-based diversity decreased. Differences in temperature profiles at different stages of composting impacted the chemical properties and the diversity of the microbial communities. The day 104 compost (mature) had lower water, organic matter and C contents and higher C and OM loss compared with the day 0 (initial) and day 24 (thermophilic) composts, which affected the diversity of the microbial communities. The results presented here demonstrated that distinctive community patterns from manure composts could be rapidly generated using T-RFLP analysis. The succession of peaks in combination of increasing and decreasing peak heights at different stage of composting indicates the high potential of T-RFLP technique to monitor the dynamics of microbial communities, and their variation qualitatively and quantitatively. © Selper Ltd., 2005.
An Examination of the Culture of South Side Chicago Neighborhoods and its Relationship with College Enrollment in Public High School Students

description: Behavioral economics continues to seek evidence-driven research as well as solutions about how individuals can improve their financial decision-making. In the City of Chicago, this approach is a novel method in observing the relationship between residence and postsecondary enrollment rates in the neighborhood, while focusing on the culture and environment of the neighborhood. Prior literature indicates that primarily low-income status, household income, and race identity factor into these results, but no effect alone is strong enough to explain how the culture of a neighborhood can lead to low college enrollment rates. Further research, especially at a local level like South Side Chicago provides a deeper understanding as to how residence in a neighborhood affects a student’s likelihood to enroll in a postsecondary opportunity. Moreover, this can ultimately help improve college enrollment rates in CPS, a challenging issue for all public high schools in the city. Through an analysis of neighborhood characteristics such as walkability, crime rate, household income, and CPS public data about current higher education enrollment rates, this paper explores why three neighborhoods in Chicago—Kenwood, Washington Park, and Woodlawn—have varying college enrollment for students and what the possible underlying explanations are for these low rates in the context of neighborhood social culture and environment. This paper finds that neighborhood residence does relate to how people view and proceed with the possibility of college and that criminal activity may be the priority focus to solve this issue. Following this, the city should be aware that not all neighborhoods are the same; some require different treatment in terms of budgeting, prioritization, and resources for students beyond high school graduation in order for the South Side and CPS overall to achieve a more successful higher education attainment rate for the future generation.

description: Using an inclusion of one reflexive polytope into another is a well-known strategy for connecting the moduli spaces of two Calabi-Yau families. In this paper we look at the question of when an inclusion of reflexive polytopes determines a torically-defined extremal transition between smooth Calabi-Yau hypersurface families. We show this is always possible for reflexive polytopes in dimensions two and three. However, in dimension four and higher, obstructions can occur. This leads to a smooth projective family of Calabi-Yau threefolds that is birational to one of Batyrev's hypersurface families, but topologically distinct from all such families.

description: The aim of this article was a one-dimensional and multidimensional assessment as well as a diagnosis of the economic situation of households according to socio-economic groups in Poland in the years 2009-2019. In the first stage of the research, the development of objective indicators reflecting the economic welfare of households was analyzed. The analysis of the economic situation of households included indicators of the income and expenditure situation in equivalent terms, the expenditure structure, measures of housing welfare including access to durable goods in households and average usable floor area of household per 1 person in m². In the second stage of the research, with the help of the classic TOPSIS (the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution) method, a synthetic measure of the economic situation of the studied aggregate units (socio-economic groups) was built. On the basis of the value of the synthetic measure, a linear arrangement of studied aggregate units was performed, considering variables related to the economic situation of households. The analysis was prepared on the basis of data derived from household budget surveys conducted by Statistics Poland (GUS). The research covered data from the 2009- 2019 period. The performed analysis, both one-dimensional and multidimensional, proved that in considerably the best economic situation in the studied period were households of selfemployed persons and households of white-collar workers. However, in the worst financial situation were households of pensioners, which occupied the lowest positions in the ranking created on the basis of the value of the synthetic measure.

The ground state structural properties are calculated by using standard density functional theory and also dispersion corrected density functional theory. We find that van der Waals interactions are dominant in LiNH$_2$ whereas they are relatively weak in other alkali metal amides. The calculated elastic constants show that all the compounds are mechanically stable and LiNH$_2$ is found to be stiffer material among the alkali metal amides. The melting temperatures are calculated and which follows the order RbNH$_2$ $

description: We report the synthesis and physical property characterization of PrFe1-xCoxAsO with x = 0.0 to 1.0. The studied samples are synthesized by solid state reaction route via vacuum encapsulation method. The pristine compound PrFeAsO does not show superconductivity, but rather exhibits a metallic step like transition due to spin density wave ordering of Fe moments below 150 K, followed by another upward step due to anomalous ordering of Pr moments at 12 K. Both the Fe-SDW and Pr-TN temperatures decrease monotonically with Co substitution at Fe site. Superconductivity appears in a narrow range of x from 0.07 to 0.25 with maximum Tc at 11.12 K for x = 0.15. Samples, with x = 0.25 exhibit metallic behavior right from 300 K down to 2 K, without any Fe-SDW or Pr-TN steps in resistivity. In fact, though Fe-SDW decreases monotonically, the Pr-TN is disappeared even with x = 0.02. The magneto transport measurements below 14 Tesla on superconducting polycrystalline Co doped PrFeAsO lead to extrapolated values of the upper critical fields [Hc2(0)] of up to 60 Tesla.

Home Visits, Ivory Notices, and the Ideological Challenges Posed by “Unwed Mothers”: How the Chicago Housing Authority Approached Tenant Management from 1949-1969

description: This thesis will take the reader through three distinct phases of the Chicago Housing Authority’s (CHA) engagement with low-income families seeking federally-assisted housing from 1949 to 1969: the selection process, tenant management, and tenant removal. This structure will allow the reader to understand how the CHA’s classification of “social problem families” posed a significant (and understudied) hardship toward single mothers which permeated every stage of CHA-tenant relations. In the selection phase, the CHA developed ways to classify tenants and predict their likelihood of “benefiting” from public housing. As the pool of tenants continued to widen throughout the 1950s, the CHA developed higher standards of entry for single mothers who failed to adhere to their vision of white, middle-class domesticity. To manage its projects, CHA staff infused their responsibilities as a landlord with a social work agenda. Though their intention was to prepare tenants for a middle-class lifestyle, the effect was a heightened environment of surveillance for single mothers. The practice of home visits deliberately applied domesticity benchmarks to single-parent households. And when management proved to be impossible for certain households, the historically understudied “Ivory Notice” system allowed CHA staff to efficiently remove tenants from public housing.

description: Marine sediments account for up to 66% of the loss of nitrogen load to coastal areas. Sedimentary denitrification is the main sink for fixed nitrogen in the global nitrogen budget, and thus it is important to understand the structure and composition of denitrifying communities. To understand the structure and composition of denitrifying communities, the diversity of nitrite reductase (nirS) genes from sediments along the Gulf of Mexico was examined using a PCR-based cloning approach. Sediments were collected at three different depths (0-0.5, 4-5 and 19-21 cm). Geochemical analysis revealed decreasing nitrate and oxygen concentrations with increasing sediment depth. This trend coincided with the decrease in diversity of denitrifying bacteria. LIBSHUFF analysis indicated that the clone library in the shallowest sediment (depth, 0-0.5 cm) was significantly different from that in the deepest sediment (depth, 19-21 cm), and that the deeper sediments (depths of 4-5 and 19-21 cm) were significantly similar. Community structural shifts were evident between the shallowest (oxic zone) and deepest (anoxic zone) sediments. Community changes within the deepest sediments were more subtle, with the presence of different nirS clone sequences gradually becoming dominant or, alternatively, decreasing with depth. The changes in community structure at this depth are possibly driven by nutrient availability, with lower quality sources of carbon and energy leading to the disappearance of nirS sequences common in the top layer. The majority of recovered nirS sequences were phylogenetically divergent relative to known denitrifying bacteria in the database. © 2006 Federation of European Microbiological Societies.

description: In this paper we investigate a minimization problem related to the principal eigenvalue of the $s$-wave Schrödinger operator. The operator depends nonlinearly on the eigenparameter. We prove the existence of a solution for the optimization problem and the uniqueness will be addressed when the domain is a ball. The optimized solution can be applied to design new electronic and photonic devices based on the quantum dots.

Building Effective Virtual Teams: How to Overcome the Problems of Trust and Identity in Virtual Teams

description: This article explores some of the challenges faced when managing virtual teams, in particular the role played by trust and identity in virtual teams. It outlines why teams and virtual teams have become a valuable part of the modern organization and presents ten short case studies that illustrate the range of activities in which virtual teams can be found. Following this, the article examines some of the common problems encountered in virtual team working. It discusses two broad classes of solutions. The first are solutions that are essentially technical in nature (i.e., where changes to or improvements in technology would help to solve or ameliorate the problem); the second are more organizationally based (i.e., where the root of the problem is in people and how they are managed). The article concludes that both the technical and the organizational solutions need to be considered in parallel if an attempt to build an effective virtual team is to be successful.

description: Aims: The objectives of this work were to determine the extracellular enzyme profiles during composting, relate the activities of these enzymes to the changes in microbial population and compare the enzyme profiles between two manures. Methods and Results: API ZYMTM assay was used to monitor the activities of 19 extracellular enzymes during poultry and pig manure composting. Results showed an overall increase in diversity and relative abundance of enzymes present. The relative abundance and activities of enzymes were higher in poultry manure than in pig manure. Among the 19 enzymes tested, esterase, valine amino-peptidase and α-galactosidase were the most abundant enzymes in poultry manure, whereas it was N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase for the pig manure. A number of these enzymes correlated with change in numbers of different microbial groups during composting. Conclusions: The composting process represented a combined activity of a wide succession of environments, as one enzyme/microbial group overlapped the other and each emerged gradually due to the continual change in temperature and progressive breakdown of complex compounds to simpler ones. Significance and Impact of the Study: The results presented here show the applicability of the API ZYMTM test not only in monitoring the quantitative and qualitative fluctuation of the available substrate during composting, but also in revealing differences in composts and compost maturity.

description: The Venus ground-based image Active Archive is an online database designed to collect ground-based images of Venus in such a way that they are optimally useful for science. The Archive was built to support ESA's Venus Amateur Observing Project, which utilises the capabilities of advanced amateur astronomers to collect filtered images of Venus in ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared light. These images complement the observations of the Venus Express spacecraft, which cannot continuously monitor the northern hemisphere of the planet due to its elliptical orbit with apocentre above the south pole. We present the first set of observations available in the Archive and assess the usability of the dataset for scientific purposes.

Redefining Gentrification in Chicago's West Loop: How Commercialization Transformed a Desolate Meatpacking District into the City's Trendiest Consumption Destination

description: Gentrification literature focuses on a causes and consequences framework, with the displacement of residents being its key tenet. But what happens when private capital suddenly saturates a space that was never meant for residential functions? In this research paper, I explore the processes that drove growth and transformation in Chicago’s West Loop, transforming the neighborhood from a once desolate meatpacking district that solely served industrial purposes into Chicago’s consumption destination, where major streets are lined with high-end restaurants, retail, hotels, and Fortune 500 companies. Through in-depth interviews with West Loop stakeholders and participation in community meetings, I discover a tension between two groups of people who disagree on the extent that gentrification defines West Loop’s transformation. The first group of people do not believe the West Loop gentrified because there was nothing and no one to displace. The second group of people believe that West Loop has and continues to gentrify because there are people still being driven out by sky-rocketing property values and taxes. I theorize that the West Loop’s development was precedent on processual commercialization, instead of an explicit causes and consequences framework of gentrification. In my analysis, I discover that rapid commercialization in a space not originally meant for residential functions results in population transience and inadequate public resources and physical infrastructure to support the increasing residential density. Consequently, West Loop is increasingly resembling a consumption destination where community building capacities are limited.

description: Introducing heavy particles with strong couplings to the Higgs field can strengthen electroweak phase transition, through the entropy release mechanism from both bosons and fermions. We analyze the possibility of electroweak baryogenesis in the MSSM with new vector-like superfields. The new vector-like particles belong to the representation 5+5bar+10+10bar of SU(5). By analyzing in detail the effective potential at finite temperature, we show that a strongly first order electroweak phase transition in this model is ruled out by a combination of 125 GeV Higgs requirement, the bound for exotic quarks, the gluon fusion Higgs production rate and the Higgs diphoton decay rate as well as the electroweak precision measurement.

description: Carbon nanotube-based electronic circuits technology is actively developing using contemporary achievements in CVD growth and CMOS. The optical interconnection is considered as next step in photonic integrated circuits. The CNT-based technology provides new level is optoelectronics devices combining both the new chemistry of nanotubes and their unique properties to functionalization. The functionalization of carbon nanotubes is a promising way to increase the optical sensitivity of optoelectronic nanometer-scale devices. Utilized unique lithography approach based on photochemical processing, a fast and easy technique for modification of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) optoelectronic properties through localized protein attachment is developed. It results in a novel approach of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes conversion to different types of optoelectronic devices just through the proper adsorption site of green fluorescent protein (GFP). The fabricated of optoelectronic junction in the field-effect transistors based on individual SWCNT drastically increases the photoresponse of such devices. The selective wavelength photoresponsivity of the SWCNT/GFP structures reaches the value of 7×103
 A W-1 at 470 nm per single SWCNT at 1 V bias voltage. The SWCNT/GFP-based transistors with induced optoelectronic response can be applied to detect extremely small light intensities with high spatial and spectral resolution in photovoltaics, integrated circuits and telecommunication applications.
