description: Around 1960 in Italy the research concerning sculpture innovates, experimenting new and unexpected relations with the surrounding space with the intention of establishing a closer and intimate dialogue with the public. Far from being put on a pedestal, sculpture looks for a tightened and conspiratorial relation with the environment, shuttering down the separation between the dignified field of art and the common space of everyday life. From this new perspective, sculpture rejects what is "figurative" and denies the "uprightness" that have always characterized it, changeling techniques and traditional materials. The notch and the modeling fade away while the experimentation of new constructive processes such as the stockpile and the assembly, which do not require specific manual skills, develops; traditional materials are put aside or, in some cases, they are supported by materials that come from the industry or, directly, from nature. Sculpture starts a radical process of aesthetic renovation that led it through linguistic territories whose borders were no longer clear and definite: their decryption is no longer a matter of fact that, according to Meneguzzo, sculpture became "the hardest discipline to define". ..

description: Intorno agli anni Sessanta in Italia la ricerca sulla scultura si rinnova, sperimentando nuove e inaspettate relazione con lo spazio circostante con l’intenzione di stabilire col pubblico un diretto e più intimo dialogo. Lontana ormai dalla distinzione del piedistallo, la scultura cerca un rapporto più serrato e complice con l’ambiente, abbattendo ogni separazione tra luogo aulico dell’arte e spazio comune della vita. In questa nuova prospettiva, la scultura rifiuta la “figuratività” e la “verticalità”, che da sempre la connotano e mette in discussione le tecniche e i materiali tradizionali. Si assiste così al tramonto dell’intaglio e della modellatura a favore della sperimentazione di nuovi processi costruttivi, di procedimenti, come l’accumulo o l’assemblaggio, che non richiedono una particolare manualità; contestualmente, si assiste al rifiuto delle materie tradizionali della scultura sostituite, o, talvolta, affiancate, da materiali di origine industriale o da elementi prelevati dalla natura. La scultura intraprende dunque un radicale processo di rinnovamento estetico la conduce verso territori linguistici i cui confini appaiono sfumati, tanto poco decodificabili che la scultura è, a detta di Meneguzzo, “oggi la disciplina più difficile da definire”. ..

description: This article offers an overview of the topics explored during a conference track, titled Platforms and Infrastructures in Media and Cultural Industries, organised by the authors within the VIII STS Italia Conference held virtually in June 2021. The text starts outlining how infrastructural research, which emerged in science and technology studies (STS) and has been then adopted in different branches of media studies, evolved. To this end, it reviews some of the major works that embraced the so-called “infrastructural turn” in media studies. The emergence of platform studies is then outlined, a field that stemmed from game studies and, largely owing to the social relevance of social network platforms, subsequently became a major intersectional space between STS and media studies.

description: Ever since National Socialism used the term “Rasse” in a biologistic and inhumane manner and forced it into culture, it has no longer been possible for German speakers to use the term in a neutral, or uncharged, fashion. The term is also considered scientifically obsolete. However, since the English cognate (“race”) calls up aspects of diversity which cannot be adequately captured by any other term (e.g. ethnic background as a category of analysis for self- and external attributions of race), some scholars address this difficulty to distinguish current usage from that of National Socialism and to turn to a slightly different history of the term. Others instead speak of “ethnicity” and thus relate “race” to post-modern concepts of communities.
description: Seitdem der Nationalsozialismus den Terminus “Rasse” auf eine biologistische und menschenverachtende Art gebrauchte, ist es im deutschsprachigen Raum nicht mehr möglich, den Begriff unbelastet zu nutzen. Er gilt zudem als wissenschaftlich überholt. Da jedoch für einige ForscherInnen der englischsprachige Begriff “race” Bereiche von Diversität erfasst, die mit keinem anderen Begriff zufriedenstellend ausgedrückt werden können (z.B. ethnischer Hintergrund als Analysekategorie für rassistische Selbst- und Fremdzuschreibungen), weichen manche auf diesen aus, um ihre Abgrenzung zum Nationalsozialismus zu markieren und um eine etwas andere Begriffsgeschichte zu nützen. Andere sprechen von “Ethnizität” und beziehen sich damit auf post-moderne Konzepte von Gemeinschaften.
Weak Systems. Unveiling the Vulnerabilities of Digitization

description: This article discusses digitization weaknesses, biases, and malfunctions to challenge popular, almost hegemonic visions of contemporary technologies. By focusing on examples provided by recent mediated cases, controversies, and critical research about biases, we aim to propose an analysis of anything digital starting from its vulnerabilities, to look beyond polarized deterministic views, both optimistic and pessimistic. The article generates from the thematic track: “Weak Systems. Exploring bias, bugs and the vulnerability of digitization” that took place at the VIII STS Italia Conference. The panel brought together scholars from different backgrounds, including STS, history of technology, sociology of communication and critical data and media studies to discuss instances of technological weaknesses in various contexts. The article sums up some of the panel takeaways and pleas for a cooperative and interdisciplinary effort focusing on “weak systems”.

description: This contribution stems from the thematic track “Digital technologies and power relations in work and organizations. Theoretical and empirical perspectives”, held during the VIII STS Italia conference. Referring to the contributions and the discussions we had during the track sessions, we present two main themes that emerged as crucial issues: 1) the hidden dynamics of digitalized interactions in workplaces and organizations; 2) the role of algorithms and digital platforms in organizational and work practices. Not with the aim of summarizing the variety and richness of the discussions we had, with this text we want to raise the curiosity and the attention of the readers toward some of the conversations emerging from the encounters between “the digital” and “the organizational”.

Magnetic mirror cavities as THz radiation sources and a means of quantifying radiation friction

description: We propose a radiation source based on a magnetic mirror cavity. Relativistic electrons are simulated entering the cavity and their trajectories and resulting emission spectra are calculated. The uniformity of the particle orbits is found to result in a frequency comb in terahertz range, the precise energies of which are tuneable by varying the electron's $γ$-factor. For very high energy particles radiation friction causes the spectral harmonics to broaden and we suggest this as a possible way to verify competing classical equations of motion.

description: This article presents reflections resulting from the conference session “Dis-entangling Later Life: Ageing Processes, Innovative Practices and Critical Reflections”, organized in the context of the VIII STS Italia Conference. The paper expands the discussions from the session and touches on three topics regarding the multiple relationships between COVID-19, ageing and health, namely: (1) the decline of a hyper-responsibilizing rhetoric in the public sphere over the last decades, along with concepts of active ageing and successful ageing; (2) the reinforcement of the representation of ageing as a process with homogenous effects on population, transforming older adults into a social group characterized by shared frailties and needs; and (3) the growing role of public and third sector institutions in supporting older adults in the use of technology during the COVID-19 outbreak, expanding the network of involved actors. Proposals for future research paths are addressed in the conclusions, encouraging the further analysis of the topics discussed in the conference session.

Managing Uncertainty in Biomedical Innovation from Below. Exploring Tensions and Contradictions in Oncology and Pregnancy Cases
Creators: name: Morsello, Barbara

Publisher: name: Tecnoscienza – Italian Journal of Science & Technology Studies
Year: 2022

description: The contribution originates from Track 1, “Genetics and biomedical innovation: Between risky and promising scenarios”, held within the VIII STS Italia conference. The session was intended to promote reflection on the implications of the latest innovations in genetic research and molecular biology for the formation of new care practices, as well as new surveillance and risk management. The objective of the paper is to highlights the contradictions and ambivalence that may rise from biomedical innovation through analysing two specific cases: 1) off-label practice in the context of rare disease in oncology and 2) pre-natal screening technology and surveillance practices. In both cases, these biomedical innovations, although very promising, produced high uncertainty, and the technologies and/or processes developed to cope with the “unknown” were challenging. However, at the same time, tensions and contradictions were observed that originated unexpected practices “from below”. In particular, the following section is focused on the ambivalence that has increasingly taken root in the management of risks related to health with respect to individual contributions and to research and scientific work practices.

description: The inhibitory switch (IS) domain of p21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1) stabilizes full-length PAK1 in an inactive conformation by binding to the PAK1 kinase domain. Competitive binding of small GTPases to the IS domain disrupts the autoinhibitory interactions and exposes the IS domain binding site on the surface of the kinase domain. To build an affinity reagent that selectively binds the activated state of PAK1, we used molecular modeling to re-engineer the isolated IS domain so that it was soluble and stable, did not bind to GTPases and bound more tightly to the PAK1 kinase domain. Three design strategies were tested: in the first and second case, extension and redesign of the N-terminus were used to expand the hydrophobic core of the domain and in the third case the termini were redesigned to be adjacent in space so that that the domain could be stabilized by insertion into a loop in a host cyan fluorescent protein (CFP). The best-performing design, called CFP-PAcKer, was based on the third strategy and bound the kinase domain of PAK1 with an affinity of 400 nM. CFP-PAcKer binds more tightly to a full-length variant of PAK1 that is stabilized in the ‘open’ state (Kd = 3.3 µM) than to full-length PAK1 in the ‘closed’ state (undetectable affinity), and binding can be monitored with fluorescence by placing an environmentally sensitive fluorescence dye on CFP-PAcKer adjacent to the binding site.

description: The non-Abelian nature of QCD suggests that particles that have a gluon constituent, such as glueballs or hybrids, should exist. This paper presents a study of central meson production in the fixed target experiments WA76, WA91 and WA102 at the CERN Omega spectrometer at centre-of-mass energies of $\sqrt{s} = 12.7$, 23.8 and 29~GeV. A study of the resonance production cross section as a function of $\sqrt{s}$ shows which states are compatible with being produced by Double Pomeron Exchange (DPE). In these DPE processes, the difference in the transverse momentum between the exchange particles ($dP_T)$ can be used to select out known $q\overline q$ states from non-$q \overline q$ candidates. The distribution of the azimuthal angle ($ϕ$) between the two exchange particles suggests that the Pomeron transforms like a non-conserved vector current. Finally there is evidence from an analysis of the the decay modes of the scalar states observed, that the lightest scalar glueball manifests itself through the mixing with nearby $q\overline q$ states.

description: A unique short-period Mercury-size Kepler exoplanet candidate KIC012557548b has been discovered recently by Rappaport et al. (2012). This object is a transiting disintegrating exoplanet with a circum-planetary material - comet-like tail. Close-in exoplanets, like KIC012557548b, are subjected to the greatest planet-star interactions. This interaction may have various forms. In certain cases it may cause formation of the comet-like tail. Strong interaction with the host star, and/or presence of an additional planet may lead to variations in the orbital period of the planet. Our main aim is to search for comet-like tails similar to KIC012557548b and for long-term orbital period variations. We are curious about frequency of comet-like tail formation among short-period Kepler exoplanet candidates. We concentrate on a sample of 20 close-in candidates with a period similar to KIC012557548b from the Kepler mission.

Structural and Thermodynamic Effects of Post-translational Modifications in Mutant and Wild Type Cu, Zn Superoxide Dismutase

name: Proctor, Elizabeth A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Aggregation of Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is implicated in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Glutathionylation and phosphorylation of SOD1 is omnipresent in the human body, even in healthy individuals, and has been shown to increase SOD1 dimer dissociation, which is the first step on the pathway toward SOD1 aggregation. We find that post-translational modification of SOD1, especially glutathionylation, promotes dimer dissociation. We discover an intermediate state in the pathway to dissociation, a conformational change that involves a “loosening” of the β-barrels and a loss or shift of dimer interface interactions. In modified SOD1, this intermediate state is stabilized as compared to unmodified SOD1. The presence of post-translational modifications could explain the environmental factors involved in the speed of disease progression. Because post-translational modifications such as glutathionylation are often induced by oxidative stress, post-translational modification of SOD1 could be a factor in the occurrence of sporadic cases of ALS, which make up 90% of all cases of the disease.

Year: 2022

description: The paper examines different practices, imaginaries and programs of ecological transitions whose articulation points towards a more-than-local and less-than-global green eco-social transformation. Translocal ecological transitions bring together climate action politics, environmental justice, and the everyday ecologism of experimental community-led technoscience. Within transition projects we see the emergence of new more-than-human political constituencies, the making of broad eco-social coalitions, and the implementation of innovative forms of reparative governance. Ecological transitions foster a new political space, green democracy, as an alternative to both regressive nationalism and green globalism that dominate contemporary politics.

description: Hard helices can be regarded as a paradigmatic elementary model for a number of natural and synthetic soft matter systems, all featuring the helix as their basic structural unit: from natural polynucleotides and polypeptides to synthetic helical polymers; from bacterial flagella to colloidal helices. Here we present an extensive investigation of the phase diagram of hard helices using a variety of methods. Isobaric Monte Carlo numerical simulations are used to trace the phase diagram: on going from the low-density isotropic to the high-density compact phases, a rich polymorphism is observed exhibiting a special chiral screw-like nematic phase and a number of chiral and/or polar smectic phases. We present a full characterization of the latter, showing that they have unconventional features, ascribable to the helical shape of the constituent particles. Equal area construction is used to locate the isotropic-to-nematic phase transition, and results are compared with those stemming from an Onsager-like theory. Density functional theory is also used to study the nematic-to-screw-nematic phase transition: within the simplifying assumption of perfectly parallel helices, we compare different levels of approximation, that is second- and third-virial expansions and Parsons-Lee correction.

description: The interaction between α-actinin and palladin, two actin-crosslinking proteins, is essential for proper bidirectional targeting of these proteins. As a first step toward understanding the role of this complex in organizing cytoskeletal actin, we have characterized binding interactions between the EF hand domain of α-actinin (Act-EF34) and peptides derived from palladin, and generated a NMR-derived structural model for the Act-EF34/palladin peptide complex. The critical binding site residues are similar to an actinin binding motif previously suggested for the complex between Act-EF34 and titin Z-repeats. The structure-based model of the Act-EF34/palladin peptide complex expands our understanding of binding specificity between the scaffold protein α-actinin and various ligands, which appears to require an α-helical motif containing four hydrophobic residues, common to many α–actinin ligands. We also provide evidence that the Family-X mutation in palladin, associated with a highly penetrant form of pancreatic cancer, does not interfere with α-actinin binding.

description: The capsid protein (CA) plays crucial roles in HIV-infection and replication, essential to viral maturation. The absence of high-resolution structural data on unassembled CA hinders the development of antivirals effective in inhibiting assembly. Unlike enzymes that have targetable functional substrate binding sites, the CA does not have a known site that affects catalytic or other innate activity, which can be more readily targeted in drug development efforts. We report the crystal structure of the HIV-1 CA, revealing the domain organization in context of the wild-type full-length (FL) unassembled CA. The FL CA adopts an antiparallel dimer (APD) configuration, exhibiting a domain organization sterically incompatible with capsid assembly. A small compound, generated in-situ during crystallization, is bound tightly at a hinge-site (“H-site”), indicating that binding at this interdomain region stabilizes the ADP conformation. Electron microscopy studies on nascent crystals reveal both dimeric and hexameric lattices coexisting within a single condition, in agreement with the interconvertibility of oligomeric forms and supporting the feasibility of promoting assembly-incompetent dimeric states. Solution characterization in the presence of the H-site ligand shows predominantly unassembled dimeric CA, even under conditions that promote assembly. Our structure elucidation of the HIV-1 FL CA and characterization of a potential allosteric binding site provides 3D views of an assembly-defective conformation, a state targeted in and, thus, directly relevant to, inhibitor development. Based on our findings, we propose an unprecedented means of preventing CA assembly, by ‘conformationally-trapping’ CA in assembly-incompetent conformational states, induced by H-site binding.

GNSS satellite antennas

description: Group delay variations (GDV) of GNSS satellite and receiver antennas affect GNSS code pseudoranges. GDV are frequency-dependent and vary with signal transmission and receiving direction due to direction-dependent properties of the satellite and receiver antennas. Since GNSS code measurements contain both the GDV of the satellite and that of the receiver antenna, the exact separation of both parts is a special challenge. It only becomes possible if absolute GDV are available for one of the antennas. Based on absolute GDV of four receiver antenna types, observations of terrestrial reference stations, and the code-minus-carrier linear combination, we estimated GDV for a large part of the satellite antennas of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS. Aside from the BeiDou‑2 satellites, whose GDV are known to amount to 1.5 m, GPS satellites show the largest variations of several decimeters on frequencies L1 und L5, and also the largest satellite-to-satellite variations within a constellation. The GDV at frequency bands L2, E1, and B2a/B2b of GPS IIIA, Galileo, and BeiDou-3 satellite antennas, respectively, stay below 10 cm and are the least affected. It is shown that terrestrial observations of one orbit period are sufficient to estimate the GDV of each satellite antenna for its entire nadir angle range, and that orbit periods of several sidereal days significantly facilitate data acquisition.

description: We report proof-of-principle measurements at the neutron resonance spin echo spectrometer RESEDA (MLZ) under large magnetic fields by means of Modulation of IntEnsity with Zero Effort (MIEZE). Our study demonstrates the feasibility of applying strong magnetic fields up to 17\,T at the sample while maintaining unchanged sub-$μ$eV resolution. We find that the MIEZE-spin-echo resolution curve remains essentially unchanged as a function of magnetic field up to the highest fields available, promising access to high fields without need for additional fine-tuning of the instrument. This sets the stage for the experimental investigation of subtle field dependent phenomena, such as magnetic field-driven phase transitions in hard and soft condensed matter physics.

description: Mobile phones have proven to be the best way of providing reliable access to information to people in low and mid income countries where other forms of communication perform poorly. As a result of the wide spread of mobile phones, there has been an increase in number of Mobile Application (M-Services) which are being used as a tool for disseminating different type information to people. M-Services of this nature are established to address informational challenges that are faced by people especially low income people. Because of this then, these projects must be sustained so that people can enjoy the benefits of it. Contrary to this, reports show that most of these M-Services are facing the challenge of cost of operating them, which in a direct way affects the sustainability of these services. In this paper therefore we present an analysis and later design of a noncommercial M-Service, which integrates advertising functionality as a tool for subsidizing the cost of operating M-Services. To achieve this we have employed some concepts of Information System Analysis and Design (ISAD) as the guiding principle towards achieving our design. A prototype of M-Health is used for the study.

description: Human mitochondrial mRNAs utilize the universal AUG and the unconventional isoleucine AUA codons for methionine. In contrast to translation in the cytoplasm, human mitochondria use one tRNA, hmtRNAMetCAU, to read AUG and AUA codons at both the peptidyl- (P-), and aminoacyl-(A-) sites of the ribosome. The hmtRNAMetCAU has a unique post-transcriptional modification, 5-formylcytidine, at the wobble position 34 (f5C34), and a cytidine substituting for the invariant uridine at position 33 of the canonical “U-turn” in tRNAs. The structure of the tRNA's anticodon stem and loop domain (hmtASLMetCAU), determined by NMR restrained molecular modeling, revealed how the f5C34 modification facilitates the decoding of AUA at the P- and A-sites. The f5C34 defined a reduced conformational space for the nucleoside, in what appears to have restricted the conformational dynamics of the anticodon bases of the modified hmtASLMetCAU. The hmtASLMetCAU exhibited a “C-turn” conformation that has some characteristics of the U-turn motif. Codon binding studies with both E. coli and bovine mitochondrial ribosomes revealed that the f5C34 facilitates AUA binding in the A-site and suggested that the modification favorably alters the ASL's binding kinetics. Mitochondrial translation by many organisms including humans sometimes initiates with the universal isoleucine codons AUU and AUC. The f5C34 enabled P-site codon binding to these normally isoleucine codons. Thus, the physicochemical properties of this one modification, f5C34, expand codon recognition from the traditional AUG to the non-traditional, synonymous codons AUU and AUC as well as AUA, in the reassignment of universal codons in the mitochondria.
