description: L’ambiente multimediale e le possibilità offerte dalle nuove tecnologie, stanno consentendo una più efficace pratica didattica a docenti e studenti di tutto il mondo. Dopo le piattaforme Moodle, un ulteriore passo avanti è stato fatto nella ricerca di mezzi di trasmissione del sapere: Second Life e gli strumenti del 2.0. Attraverso Skype, Google Docs, Messanger e Second Life è ora possibile svolgere una lezione di lingua straniera senza doversi spostare dal luogo in cui si è. Per mezzo di questi nuovi ambienti di apprendimento studente e docente hanno la possibilità di comunicare come se fossero uno accanto all’altro. Second Life, inoltre, offre un’opportunità maggiore. Questo luogo, in cui oramai oltre 9 milioni di persone in tutto il mondo hanno deciso di crearsi una seconda vita e dove le maggiori Università del mondo hanno creato una loro sede, permette agli avatar che la vivono di poter entrare in contatto in modo comodo, veloce, ma soprattutto economico, con realtà linguistiche e culturali diverse. Con SecondLife anche coloro che non hanno la possibilità di girare il mondo per imparare le lingue e conoscere culture diverse, possono ora scoprire civiltà lontane dalla loro. Ecco così che il viaggio studio può, ora, essere alla portata di tutti e senza dover fare i bagagli! Mantova, Firenze, Venezia, New York, Londra, Parigi, Cancun, Dubai, Roma Antica, sono solo alcuni dei luoghi presenti in Second Life. Riprodotti, alcuni fedelmente altri solo in parte, permettono una pratica didattica che va oltre l’insegnamento della lingua. Entrando nel Palazzo Ducale di Mantova possiamo ammirare i quadri del Mantegna e svolgere una lezione in modalità CLIL commentando le sue opere. Allo stesso modo, la storia di Roma può essere raccontata davanti al Colosseo ricostruito, mentre una guida messicana può raccontarci i segreti delle Piramidi di Chichén Itzá. Nelle Università e nelle svariate scuole presenti, inoltre, gli studenti possono imparare la matematica, le scienze, la geografia, la storia, l’architettura in una lingua diversa dalla loro. Come? Semplice, basta cliccare su “teleport!”.

description: The presence of non-Gaussian features in the CMB radiation maps represents one of the most long-awaited clues in the search for the actual structure of the primordial radiation. These features could shed some light on the non trivial task of distinguishing the real source of the primeval perturbations leading to large scale structure. In the present paper we briefly review recent work towards finding analytical estimates of the three- and four-point correlation functions and of their zero-lag limits, namely, the skewness and kurtosis, respectively. - Contributed talk to appear in the proceedings of "Birth of the Universe & Fundamental Physics", May 18-21, 1994, Rome, Italy.

Current velocity data on dwarf galaxy NGC1052-DF2 do not constrain it to lack dark matter

description: It was recently proposed that the globular cluster system of the very low surface-brightness galaxy NGC1052-DF2 is dynamically very cold, leading to the conclusion that this dwarf galaxy has little or no dark matter. Here, we show that a robust statistical measure of the velocity dispersion of the tracer globular clusters implies a mundane velocity dispersion and a poorly constrained mass-to-light ratio. Models that include the possibility that some of the tracers are field contaminants do not yield a more constraining inference. We derive only a weak constraint on the mass-to-light ratio of the system within the half-light radius (M/L_V<6.7 at the 90% confidence level) or within the radius of the furthest tracer (M/L_V<8.1 at the 90% confidence level). This limit may imply a mass-to-light ratio on the low end for a dwarf galaxy but many Local Group dwarf galaxies fall well within this contraint. With this study, we emphasize the need to reliably account for measurement uncertainties and to stay as close as possible to the data when determining dynamical masses from very small data sets of tracers.

description: Circularly polarized gravitational sandwich waves exhibit, as do their linearly polarized counterparts, the Velocity Memory Effect: freely falling test particles in the flat after-zone fly apart along straight lines with constant velocity. In the inside zone their trajectories combine oscillatory and rotational motions in a complicated way. For circularly polarized periodic gravitational waves some trajectories remain bounded, while others spiral outward. These waves admit an additional "screw" isometry beyond the usual five. The consequences of this extra symmetry are explored.

Eisenstein series for the Weil representation

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)

subject: 11F30

description: We compute the Fourier expansion of vector valued Eisenstein series for the Weil representation associated to an even lattice. To this end, we define certain twists by Dirichlet characters of the usual Eisenstein series associated to isotropic elements in the discriminant form of the underlying lattice. These twisted functions still form a generating system for the space of Eisenstein series but have better multiplicative properties than the individual Eisenstein series. We adapt a method of Bruinier and Kuss to obtain algebraic formulas for the Fourier coefficients of the twisted Eisenstein series in terms of special values of Dirichlet $L$-functions and representation numbers modulo prime powers of the underlying lattice. In particular, we obtain that the Fourier coefficients of the individual Eisenstein series are rational numbers. Additionally, we show that the twisted Eisenstein series are eigenforms of the Hecke operators on vector valued modular forms introduced by Bruinier and Stein.

Effects of phase transition in hybrid stars from quark-meson coupling hadronic matter to deconfined quark matter

description: Different types of phase transition from hadron to quark at high density near zero temperature may occur in the inner core of hybrid stars. We investigate the impacts of phase transition types and quark models on properties of hybrid star and quark cores. The quark-meson coupling (QMC) model is used to describe hadronic matter, and the MIT bag model as well as the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model are employed to describe quark matter for comparison. From the mass-radius curves obtained by using equations of state (EOS), we find that EOSs of hadron matter have a decisive influence on the maximum mass of a hybrid star in the first-order phase transition case, while quark matter EOSs have more impacts on results in the crossover transition case. It is also found in the present work that the thermodynamic correction arising from an interpolation scheme considerably stiffens the EOSs. Therefore the crossover type phase transition generally leads to hybrid stars with higher masses. In particular, by using the QMC model and the NJL model to construct crossover EOSs with thermodynamic correction, we discover that the maximum masses of hybrid stars can meet the recent observational constraint on mass from PSR J0952-0607, i.e., $2.35\pm0.17M_\odot$.

description: Amoxicillin (AMX), a widely used beta-lactam antibiotic, belongs to the World Health Organization’s list of essential medicines. This subsequently causes its long-term presence in the environment and therefore, affects different environmental compartments. In this research, the degradation and mineralisation of AMX by UVC-activated persulfate-based treatment in various aqueous media was assessed. The degradation of the target compound was in accordance with the pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics in all the UVC-induced systems. The results indicated that AMX degradation in any real water matrices is notably inhibited by the matrix properties. The trials with radical scavengers in ultrapure water proved the existence of SO4⋅− and HO., but mainly SO4⋅− contributed to the degradation of AMX in the UVC/S2O82− and UVC/S2O82−/Fe2+ systems. It was shown that the parent compound disappeared during the treatment, but the mineralisation extent referred to the formation of transformation products the main of which were identified. The findings of this study could provide valuable information about the elimination of beta-lactam antibiotics from various environmental and processed waters.
DEVELOPING A PERFORMANCE TEST FOR ITALIAN CLIL TEACHER CERTIFICATION: EXAMINING CLIL TEACHER LANGUAGE
Creators: name: LUDBROOK, GERALDINE
Publisher: name: Studi di glottodidattica
Year: 2009
Subjects: valutazione CLIL; certificazione CLIL docenti

description: As the provision of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is moving increasingly into mainstream education, the call for certified qualification of CLIL teachers is growing. A project is being developed at the University of Venice to design a test to certify both the L2 competence of CLIL teachers and their knowledge of CLIL methodology. For the purposes of the pilot test, it will focus on the teaching of science through English. As CLIL is not easily understood as a construct, making the measurement of ability complex, there are many directions for research within this context, which include examining how the interplay of general foreign language proficiency, subject-specific language, the language of classroom interaction, and code-switching contribute to the construction of CLIL science classroom discourse, in addition to the issue of what minimum L2 language proficiency is required of the CLIL teacher to effectively handle the methodology needed to implement this approach. This paper will discuss the methods used to investigate the target language use though the qualitative analysis of data from several different sources. The methodological issues will be discussed in a separate paper in this volume (cf. Serragiotto).

description: We present VisionFM, a foundation model pre-trained with 3.4 million ophthalmic images from 560,457 individuals, covering a broad range of ophthalmic diseases, modalities, imaging devices, and demography. After pre-training, VisionFM provides a foundation to foster multiple ophthalmic artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as disease screening and diagnosis, disease prognosis, subclassification of disease phenotype, and systemic biomarker and disease prediction, with each application enhanced with expert-level intelligence and accuracy. The generalist intelligence of VisionFM outperformed ophthalmologists with basic and intermediate levels in jointly diagnosing 12 common ophthalmic diseases. Evaluated on a new large-scale ophthalmic disease diagnosis benchmark database, as well as a new large-scale segmentation and detection benchmark database, VisionFM outperformed strong baseline deep neural networks. The ophthalmic image representations learned by VisionFM exhibited noteworthy explainability, and demonstrated strong generalizability to new ophthalmic modalities, disease spectrum, and imaging devices. As a foundation model, VisionFM has a large capacity to learn from diverse ophthalmic imaging data and disparate datasets. To be commensurate with this capacity, in addition to the real data used for pre-training, we also generated and leveraged synthetic ophthalmic imaging data. Experimental results revealed that synthetic data that passed visual Turing tests, can also enhance the representation learning capability of VisionFM, leading to substantial performance gains on downstream ophthalmic AI tasks. Beyond the ophthalmic AI applications developed, validated, and demonstrated in this work, substantial further applications can be achieved in an efficient and cost-effective manner using VisionFM as the foundation.

The equations are directly obtained from the first principles: the gauge invariance of the CFT partition function on an arbitrary background for single-trace operators. We also get equations describing propagation of certain mixed-symmetry fields over higher spin flat backgrounds.

description: Il team teaching risulta attualmente essere uno dei concetti chiave di realizzazione della metodologia Clil. Per poter attuare percorsi didattici che siano efficaci sia dal punto di vista del contenuto disciplinare che dell’appropriatezza della lingua straniera veicolo di insegnamento/apprendimento, è necessario che il docente della disciplina non linguistica e il docente di lingua condividano metodi, strategie, risorse, materiali, tecniche, valutazione. Una forte sinergia tra i due docenti deve quindi caratterizzare l’intera fase di pianificazione del percorso Clil e anche la gestione della classe nel caso di lezioni in compresenza. L’intervento cercherà di delineare tutti gli ambiti in cui è essenziale una comunicazione costante e una collaborazione tra i due docenti, portando anche ad esempio dati raccolti dall’osservazione di lezioni Clil svolte in scuole secondarie che hanno partecipato al Progetto PRIN Clil.

This is done by exploring the space of parameters made out of those coming from the modified gravity and dilatonic charge sectors. We employ numerical methods to obtain several important observable quantities.

description: We have derived explicit expressions in the 1-d Ising model for multiplicity distributions $P_{\delξ}(n)$ and factorial moments $F_q(\delξ)$. We identify the salient features of $P_{\delξ}(n)$ that lead to scaling, $F_q(\delξ)=\F_q[F_2]$, and universality. These results compare well with the presently available high-energy data of $\bar{p}p$ and $e^+e^-$ reactions. We point out the important features that should be studied in future higher-energy experiments of multiparticle productions in $pp$, $\bar{p}p$, $ep$, $e^+e^-$, and $NN$. We also make comments on comparisons with KNO and negative-binomial distributions.

description: Floquet topological insulators have been widely investigated in lower-dimensional systems. However, Floquet topological insulators induced by time-periodic driving in higher-dimensional systems remain unexplored. In this work, we study the effects of time-periodic driving in a four-dimensional (4D) normal insulator, focusing on topological phase transitions at the resonant quasienergy gap. We consider two types of time-periodic driving, including a time-periodic onsite potential and a time-periodic vector potential. We reveal that both types of time-periodic driving can transform the 4D normal insulator into a 4D Floquet topological insulator characterized by an emergent second Chern number. Moreover, it is found that the topological phase of the 4D system can be modulated by tuning the strength and frequency of the time-periodic driving. Our work will be helpful for the future investigation of Floquet topological insulators in higher dimensions.

description: In our recent paper (Yadav et al. 2007) we described a fast cubic (bispectrum) estimator of the amplitude of primordial non-Gaussianity of local type, f_{NL}, from a combined analysis of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature and E-polarization observations. In this paper we generalize the estimator to deal with a partial sky coverage as well as inhomogeneous noise. Our generalized estimator is still computationally efficient, scaling as O(N^3/2) compared to the O(N^5/2) scaling of the brute force bispectrum calculation for sky maps with N pixels. Upcoming CMB experiments are expected to yield high-sensitivity temperature and E-polarization data. Our generalized estimator will allow us to optimally utilize the combined CMB temperature and E-polarization information from these realistic experiments, and to constrain primordial non-Gaussianity.

description: Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) has been a frequent topic of research due to many practical applications. However, many of the current solutions are still not robust in real-world situations, commonly depending on many constraints. This paper presents a robust and efficient ALPR system based on the state-of-the-art YOLO object detector. The Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are trained and fine-tuned for each ALPR stage so that they are robust under different conditions (e.g., variations in camera, lighting, and background). Specially for character segmentation and recognition, we design a two-stage approach employing simple data augmentation tricks such as inverted License Plates (LPs) and flipped characters. The resulting ALPR approach achieved impressive results in two datasets. First, in the SSIG dataset, composed of 2,000 frames from 101 vehicle videos, our system achieved a recognition rate of 93.53% and 47 Frames Per Second (FPS), performing better than both Sighthound and OpenALPR commercial systems (89.80% and 93.03%, respectively) and considerably outperforming previous results (81.80%). Second, targeting a more realistic scenario, we introduce a larger public dataset, called UFPR-ALPR dataset, designed to ALPR. This dataset contains 150 videos and 4,500 frames captured when both camera and vehicles are moving and also contains different types of vehicles (cars, motorcycles, buses and trucks). In our proposed dataset, the trial versions of commercial systems achieved recognition rates below 70%. On the other hand, our system performed better, with recognition rate of 78.33% and 35 FPS.

Ci occuperemo in questa sede degli aspetti metodologici piuttosto che di quelli linguistici, dei quali si occuperà Geraldine Ludbrook in questo volume. Un docente CLIL deve avere una conoscenza generale della letteratura riguardante la metodologia CLIL, deve essere in grado di pianificare e organizzare dei moduli CLIL secondo obiettivi precisi. Inoltre il docente CLIL deve essere in grado di gestire la classe, di usare le tecnologie più adatte per sviluppare le competenze degli studenti, di selezionare materiali autentici da usare in classe, di trovare delle risorse disponibili per gli studenti, di verificare e valutare il processo di apprendimento e i risultati prodotti dagli studenti.

Fixing Your Own Smells: Adding a Mistake-Based Familiarisation Step When Teaching Code Refactoring

description: Programming problems can be solved in a multitude of functionally correct ways, but the quality of these solutions (e.g. readability, maintainability) can vary immensely. When code quality is poor, symptoms emerge in the form of 'code smells', which are specific negative characteristics (e.g. duplicate code) that can be resolved by applying refactoring patterns. Many undergraduate computing curricula train students on this software engineering practice, often doing so via exercises on unfamiliar instructor-provided code. Our observation, however, is that this makes it harder for novices to internalise refactoring as part of their own development practices. In this paper, we propose a new approach to teaching refactoring, in which students must first complete a programming exercise constrained to ensure they will produce a code smell. This simple intervention is based on the idea that learning refactoring is easier if students are familiar with the code (having built it), that it brings refactoring closer to their regular development practice, and that it presents a powerful opportunity to learn from a 'mistake'. We designed and conducted a study with 35 novice undergraduates in which they completed various refactoring exercises alternately taught using a traditional and our 'mistake-based' approach, finding that students were significantly more effective and confident at completing exercises using the latter.

description: Heavy quark symmetry predicts the value of $B \rightarrow D$ and $B \rightarrow D^*$ transition matrix elements of the current $\bar c γ_μ(1 - γ_5)b$, at zero recoil (where in the rest frame of the $B$ the $D$ or $D^*$ is also at rest). We use chiral perturbation theory to compute the leading corrections to these predictions which are generated at low momentum, below the chiral symmetry breaking scale.

description: We study the structure of the d-wave orbital order in FeSe in light of recent STM and ARPES data, which detect the shapes of hole and electron pockets in the nematic phase. The geometry of the pockets indicates that the sign of the orbital order $Γ= \langle d^{\dagger}_{xz} d_{xz}- d^{\dagger}_{yz} d_{yz}\rangle$ is different between hole and electron pockets $(Γ_h$ and $Γ_e$). We argue that this sign change cannot be reproduced if one solves for the orbital order within mean-field approximation, as the mean-field analysis yields either no orbital order, or order with the same sign of $Γ_e$ and $Γ_h$. We argue that another solution with the opposite signs of $Γ_e$ and $Γ_h$ emerges if we include the renormalizations of the vertices in $d-$wave orbital channel. We show that the ratio $|Γ_e/Γ_h|$ is of order one, independent on the strength of the interaction. We also compute the temperature variation of the energy of $d_{xz}$ and $d_{yz}$ orbitals at the center of electron pockets and compare the results with ARPES data.

description: We report the analysis of time-series of optical photometry of SDSS J0926+3624 collected with the Liverpool Robotic Telescope between 2012 February and March while the object was in quiescence. We combined our median eclipse timing with those in the literature to revise the ephemeris and confirm that the binary period is increasing at a rate $\dot{P}=(3.2 \pm 0.4)\times 10^{-13} \, s/s$. The light curves show no evidence of either the orbital hump produced by a bright spot at disc rim or of superhumps; the average out-of-eclipse brightness level is consistently lower than previously reported. The eclipse map from the average light curve shows a hot white dwarf surrounded by a faint, cool accretion disc plus enhanced emission along the gas stream trajectory beyond the impact point at the outer disc rim, suggesting the occurrence of gas stream overflow/penetration at that epoch. We estimate a disc mass input rate of $\dot{M}=(9 \pm 1)\times 10^{-12}\,M_\odot \,yr^{-1}$, more than an order of magnitude lower than that expected from binary evolution with conservative mass transfer.

description: Questa ricerca mira ad individuare le difficoltà che gli arabofoni incontrano nell'apprendimento dei tempi verbali italiani nel modo indicativo in un contesto guidato in Giordania. Ai 90 apprendenti che compongono il campione è stato sottoposto un test linguistico . Il test e' stato concepito in modo tale da consentire di verificare la conoscenza dell'uso dei tempi del presente, passato e futuro indicativo e sopratutto la padronanza nell'uso dei tempi passati e in particolare del passato prossimo e dell'imperfetto indicativo. I risultati del test sono stati rappresentati graficamente ed analizzati dal punto di vista statistico per meglio evidenziare le aree dove gli studenti incontrano maggiore difficoltà. In linea dei risultati si e' cercato di segnalare in primo luogo le cause che si nascondono dietro queste difficoltà. Dalla ricerca si evince che il tempo passato indicativo italiano risulta il più difficile da apprendere e che la distanza tipologica tra l'italiano e l'arabo interferisce nel processo di apprendimento dell'italiano.

Advancing Deep Active Learning & Data Subset Selection: Unifying Principles with Information-Theory Intuitions

description: At its core, this thesis aims to enhance the practicality of deep learning by improving the label and training efficiency of deep learning models. To this end, we investigate data subset selection techniques, specifically active learning and active sampling, grounded in information-theoretic principles. Active learning improves label efficiency, while active sampling enhances training efficiency. Supervised deep learning models often require extensive training with labeled data. Label acquisition can be expensive and time-consuming, and training large models is resource-intensive, hindering the adoption outside academic research and "big tech." Existing methods for data subset selection in deep learning often rely on heuristics or lack a principled information-theoretic foundation. In contrast, this thesis examines several objectives for data subset selection and their applications within deep learning, striving for a more principled approach inspired by information theory. We begin by disentangling epistemic and aleatoric uncertainty in single forward-pass deep neural networks, which provides helpful intuitions and insights into different forms of uncertainty and their relevance for data subset selection. We then propose and investigate various approaches for active learning and data subset selection in (Bayesian) deep learning. Finally, we relate various existing and proposed approaches to approximations of information quantities in weight or prediction space. Underpinning this work is a principled and practical notation for information-theoretic quantities that includes both random variables and observed outcomes. This thesis demonstrates the benefits of working from a unified perspective and highlights the potential impact of our contributions to the practical application of deep learning.

Toy model for the acceleration of blazar jets

description: Context: Understanding the acceleration mechanism of astrophysical jets has been a cumbersome endeavor from both the theoretical and observational perspective. Although several breakthroughs have been achieved in recent years, on all sides, we are still missing a comprehensive model for the acceleration of astrophysical jets. Aims: In this work we attempt to construct a simple toy model that can account for several observational and theoretical results and allow us to probe different aspects of blazar jets usually inaccessible to observations. Methods: We used the toy model and Lorentz factor estimates from the literature to constrain the black hole spin and external pressure gradient distributions of blazars. Results: Our results show that (1) the model can reproduce the velocity, spin and external pressure gradient of the jet in M87 inferred independently by observations; (2) blazars host highly spinning black holes with 99% of BL Lac objects and 80% of flat spectrum radio quasars having spins a>0.6; (3) the dichotomy between BL Lac objects and Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars could be attributed to their respective accretion rates. Using the results of the proposed model, we estimated the spin and external pressure gradient for 75 blazars.

Moduli stabilization with Fayet-Iliopoulos uplift

description: In the recent years, phenomenological models of moduli stabilization were proposed, where the dynamics of the stabilization is essentially supersymmetric, whereas an O'Rafearthaigh supersymmetry breaking sector is responsible for the "uplift" of the cosmological constant to zero. We investigate the case where the uplift is provided by a Fayet-Iliopoulos sector. We find that in this case the modulus contribution to supersymmetry breaking is larger than in the previous models. A first consequence of this class of constructions is for gauginos, which are heavier compared to previous models. In some of our explicit examples, due to a non-standard gauge-mediation type negative contribution to scalars masses, the whole superpartner spectrum can be efficiently compressed at low-energy. This provides an original phenomenology testable at the LHC, in particular sleptons are generically heavier than the squarks.

LA CENTRALITÀ DEL LESSICO NELL'APPRENDIMENTO /INSEGNAMENTO LINGUISTICO.PROPOSTA DI UNA UNITÀ DIDATTICA PER IL LIVELLO C1 ALLA LUCE DEL LEXICAL APPROACH.

description: L'accrescimento della competenza lessicale è uno dei punti più delicati dell' insegnamento linguistico per la complessità inerente al lessico e al suo apprendimento . Per questo motivo forse nell'insegnamento dell'italiano a stranieri abbiamo assistito ad una sorta di rimozione vera e propria ( come sottolinea Balboni) nei confronti del lessico che è stato troppo a lungo trascurato, nonostante risulti l'aspetto centrale nell'apprendimento linguistico una volta che, in sintonia con gli studi condotti dalla glottodidattica anglosassone e il Lexical Approach di Lewis, lo si intenda in una accezione più ampia rispetto a quella tradizionale e soprattutto non nella sua sterile e in realtà inesistente, a mio giudizio, dicotomia con la grammatica. Questo mio articolo vuole essere un contributo pratico operativo nel senso che si presenta come una unità didattica vera e propria incentrata tutta sul lessico per il livello C1 e realizzata in sintonia con le acquisizioni a cui siamo giunti grazie al Lexical Approach. Una unità che rappresenta un esempio pratico di alcuni possibili modi di lavorare per accrescere la competenza lessicale dello studente.

description: We initiate the study of deformation theory in the context of derived and higher log geometry. After reconceptualizing the "exactification"-procedures in ordinary log geometry in terms of Quillen's approach to the cotangent complex, we construct an "exactified tangent bundle" over the category of log ring spectra. The fibers recover the categories of modules over the underlying ring spectra, and the resulting cotangent complex functor specializes to log topological André--Quillen homology on each fiber. As applications, we characterize log square-zero extensions and derive a log variant of étale rigidity, applicable to some tamely ramified extensions of ring spectra.

description: Objective: This post hoc analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of canagliflozin, a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) from Latin America. Research design and methods: Analyses were performed in subgroups of patients from Latin America based on data from three individual, 26-week, placebo-controlled studies of canagliflozin (monotherapy [n = 116/584], add-on to metformin [n = 199/918], and add-on to metformin plus sulfonylurea [n = 76/469]) and three individual, 52-week, active-controlled studies of canagliflozin (add-on to metformin versus sitagliptin [n = 240/1101], add-on to metformin versus glimepiride [n = 155/1450], and add-on to metformin plus sulfonylurea versus sitagliptin [n = 156/755]). Main outcome measures: Changes from baseline in HbA1c, body weight, and systolic blood pressure (BP) with canagliflozin 100 and 300 mg versus placebo or active comparator (i.e., sitagliptin or glimepiride) were evaluated in the overall study populations and Latin American subgroups. Safety was assessed based on adverse event (AE) reports. Results: Canagliflozin 100 and 300 mg provided reductions in HbA1c, body weight, and systolic BP across studies in patients from Latin America that were generally similar to those seen in the overall populations of patients with T2DM. The AE profile in patients from Latin America was equivalent to that in the overall populations; higher rates of genital mycotic infections and osmotic diuresis–related AEs were seen with canagliflozin versus comparators. Limitations of this study include the post hoc analysis of data and the small sample size of patients from Latin America. Conclusion: Canagliflozin improved glycemic control, reduced body weight and systolic BP, and was generally well tolerated in patients with T2DM from Latin America.
