Intelligent clothing for the ageing body : The pursuit of a design method
Creators: name: BUFFAGNI, ALESSIA
Publisher: name: Universit� IUAV di Venezia
Year: 2021

description: The extension of life that medical science and technology have assured mankind in the last century is an unprecedented achievement, a success of delicate administration for social policies worldwide. Life expectancy is increasing, and so is the demand for long-term health care. Starting from the original principle of bio-extension (temporal, anatomical, qualitative), the research introduces in its first part (also through field observation) an overview of the natural and pathological disorders of ageing and the social strategies to cope with them. Thus, it proceeds to examine the technological innovations (prosthetic, handheld, wearable) that in the past and to date have compensated for the human body?s capabilities. It compares those in production and under study that keep serving the purpose by adapting to the demographic change, changing themselves, becoming more and more intelligent and more adherent to the no longer young bodies that they are designed to assist. Once offered a projection of what their evolution would be (already underway, but for the most part still to be accomplished) toward a full-functional symbiosis with the human they dress, the analysis returns to focus on present day and the central consideration of the thesis: what it means?and, mainly, what it implies?to design for, around, on (if not even inside) a body in pain. The research ends with the third section: the drafting of the design guidelines for researchers who want to commit to the same field, and the assembly report of a prototype meant not as a finished industrial product but rather an additional (three-dimensional) platform for future studies. The implementation aims to answer to one of the central research questions (how Design Science, at its state of the art, can be applied to rehabilitative therapies for the elderly at risk) and will finally clarify the contribution that the thesis intends to bring to Design Science and the material culture of the product. And, more specifically, to the field of Gerontechnology.

description: In dit artikel bespreek ik hoe lezers van verschillende leeftijden naar “decline narratives” en “wijsheid” verwijzen om betekenis te geven aan hun leeftijd en de leeftijd van personages in twee kinderboeken: Iep!, geschreven door Joke van Leeuwen en Voor altijd samen, amen, geschreven door Guus Kuijer. Deze bespreking is gegrond in kwalitatieve data verzameld via 57 semigestructureerde interviews en 4 focus groep gesprekken met lezers van 9 tot 75 jaar oud.   Decline narratives zijn een voorbeeld van “ageism”: vooroordelen op basis van leeftijd, waarbij het proces van ouder worden vanaf middelbare leeftijd geschetst wordt als “decline which continues relentlessly into old age and death” (Featherstone and Hepworth 357). Tijdens de interviews verschenen decline narratives op verschillende manieren in de antwoorden van lezers van alle leeftijden. Jonge lezers gebruikten ze bijvoorbeeld om hun verwachtingen over oudere personages vorm te geven. Zo werd ontbrekende informatie over oudere personages aangevuld met het geloof in hun nakende dood, en een vermoeden dat ze slecht te been zijn. Oudere lezers kaderden inzichten over oudere personages ook in decline narratives, maar nuanceerden dit verder via reflecties over hun eigen beleving van (oudere) volwassenheid en leeftijdsgebonden lichamelijke en cognitieve veranderingen. Als deel van dat proces benadrukten oudere lezers “wijsheid” als een belangrijk positief effect van het ouder worden, waarmee ze naast decline narratives ook positieve groei aan het verouderingsproces konden koppelen. Wijsheid werd door oudere lezers bovendien op complexe manieren toegeschreven aan jonge en oudere personages. Zo ging niet iedereen akkoord dat ouder worden je automatisch wijs maakt, en volgens sommige volwassen lezers kunnen kinderen ook wijs zijn. Decline narratives en wijsheid stellen op die manier een klein deel voor van het ingewikkelde proces waarmee lezers betekenis geven aan hun eigen leeftijd en de leeftijd van personages.

description: Each year, up to 10,000 cases of infections with the flavivirus tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus that affect the central nervous system are reported in Europe and Asia. Due to the potentially severe adverse effects of post-exposure prophylaxis with TBE virus hyperimmunoglobulin, TBE can currently only be treated symptomatically. An RNA interference (RNAi) approach to inhibit TBE virus replication was therefore developed. In this study we demonstrate for the first time that small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeted at the TBE virus genome reduce the quantity of infectious TBE virus particles, TBE virus genome, and TBE virus protein in vitro by up to 85%. The 50% inhibitory dose (DI(50)) of the shRNA plasmid was only 0.05μg/ml. As RNAi-based therapeutics for other diseases are already being evaluated in phases II and III clinical trials, it is possible that RNAi could become valuable tool for controlling TBE virus infection.

description: Background: Hypertension and dyslipidemia are often insufficiently controlled in persons with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Germany. In the current study we evaluated individual characteristics that are assumed to influence the adequate treatment and control of hypertension and dyslipidemia and aimed to identify the patient group with the most urgent need for improved health care. Methods: The analysis was based on the DIAB-CORE project in which cross-sectional data from five regional population-based studies and one nationwide German study, conducted between 1997 and 2006, were pooled. We compared the frequencies of socio-economic and lifestyle factors along with comorbidities in hypertensive participants with or without the blood pressure target of
TSE GENETICS IN GOATS. LOOKING OUTSIDE THE PRNP OPEN READING FRAME: MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PRNP REGULATORY REGIONS AND ASSESSMENT OF THE ROLE OF THE SPRN GENE
Creators: name: PELETTO, SIMONE

description: Susceptibility of sheep to scrapie, a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy of small ruminants, is strongly influenced by polymorphisms of the prion protein gene (PRNP) and breeding programs to increase scrapie resistance in sheep populations have been implemented. A similar approach is not applied in goats yet but it would be desirable. The knowledge of genetic factors, outside the PRNP gene, involved in the modulation of the response to scrapie in goats, could aid to overcome some limitations of future selection programs based solely on PRNP genetics. The main aim of this research project was therefore to look for TSE genetic factors outside the goat PRNP open reading frame by the molecular characterization of the PRNP gene regulatory regions and the assessment of the role of the Shadow of the Prion Protein gene (SPRN), a recently discovered member of the prion family.
In the PRNP regulatory regions, 29 novel polymorphisms were identified within a 3 Kb fragment encompassing the PRNP transcription start site in goats belonging to nine goat breeds coming from Italy, Greece and Spain. Haplotype analysis, performed on the study goats using bioinformatics, predicted 13 haplotypes based on ten polymorphic sites. Most of the polymorphisms with an influence on the presence/absence of transcription factor binding sites were found in intron 1. Functional studies have also demonstrated that a conserved region in the PRNP intron I is able to bind different transcription factors, among which the binding of ELK1 has been assessed by EMSA experiments. Furthermore, the first association study investigating the role of the goat SPRN gene in scrapie occurrence was carried out in the frame of the project. The SPRN genes of goats from several scrapie outbreaks were analysed in order to detect SPRN polymorphisms and to look for association between SPRN alleles/genotypes and the occurrence of scrapie by a case-control study. A significant association with susceptibility for classical scrapie was found for a polymorphism causing the insertion of five nucleotides (602_606insCTCCC) in the 3?UTR. Bioinformatics analyses suggested the hypothesis that the identified indel may contribute to modulation of susceptibility to the disease via gene expression regulation by a miRNA-mediated post-transcriptional mechanism. In conclusion, the results presented in this Doctoral thesis provide novel knowledge on genetic factors outside the caprine PRNP open reading frame investigating their influence in the modulation of scrapie susceptibility. These data could offer a significant contribution to the control of classical scrapie in goats by future breeding programs as well as further research opportunities on other aspects related to the function and pathogenicity of the prion protein.

description: We investigate the collision dynamics of $U(1)$ gauged Q-balls by performing high-resolution numerical simulations in axisymmetry. Focusing on the case of relativistic head-on collisions, we consider the effects of the initial velocity, relative phase, relative charge, and electromagnetic coupling strength on the outcome of the collision. We find that the collision dynamics can depend strongly on these parameters; most notably, electromagnetic effects can significantly alter the outcome of the collision when the gauge coupling is large. When the gauge coupling is small, we find that the dynamics generally resemble those of ordinary (non-gauged) Q-balls.

Year: 2021

description: Complex diseases are caused by a complex interaction among genetic and environmental factors. The Identified common variants occount for only a small fraction of the genetic component of these diseases. Therefore, low (1X<5%) and rare (MAR<15) frequency varlants may help fill in some of the heritability Eap. We have focused on two different neurological diseases, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Epilepsy. The general aim of the study was on ole side to dentify new low and fare frequency genetic variants associated to the susceptibility to MS in the Italian continental population, and, on the other side associated to Epilepsy. From the analysis of Multiplex MS families, our study allowed us to identify 10 geres harboring rare coding variants and other 11 genes herboring rare non-coding variants. The extension of these analyses to other cohorts of non-familial MS patients, MS multiple families and Controls:{HC) is ongoing to further assess the role in MS Susceptibility of the identified rare variants. From the research of rare functional variants in MS associated loci, our study allowed us to identify one gene with the most promising result especially for disruptive variants (stop-gain, stop-loss and splicing), Identifying a novel low frequency functional variant associated with MS susceptibility. Moreover, regarding a project on pediatric MS, our preliminary wGRSs analyses on already avallable pediatric MS patients suggested that pediatric MS have a higher risk score compared to adult-onset MS and HC, conferred by common non-HLA MS associated variants and more slightly by the analyzed 5 HLA markers: From the screening of epileptic patients, for diagnostic and research purposes, our study identified four rare pathogenic variants causative of the epilepsy forms in four different patients: Moreover, our analyses showed that epileptic patients can have an increased burden of rare variants in genes associated to epilepsy.

description: Human polyomavirus 9 (HPyV9) was discovered recently in immunocompromised patients and shown to be genetically closely related to B-lymphotropic polyomavirus (LPyV). No serological data are available for HPyV9, but human antibodies against LPyV have been reported previously. To investigate the seroepidemiology of HPyV9 and the sero-cross-reactivity between HPyV9 and LPyV, a capsomer-based IgG ELISA was established using the major capsid protein VP1 of HPyV9 and LPyV. VP1 of an avian polyomavirus was used as control. For HPyV9, a seroprevalence of 47 % was determined in healthy adults and adolescents (n = 328) and 20 % in a group of children (n = 101). In both groups, the seroreactivities for LPyV were less frequent and the ELISA titres of LPyV were lower. Of the HPyV9-reactive sera, 47 % reacted also with LPyV, and the titres for both PyVs correlated. Sera from African green monkeys, the natural hosts of LPyV, reacted also with both HPyV9 and LPyV, but here the HPyV9 titres were lower. This potential sero-cross-reactivity between HPyV9 and LPyV was confirmed by competition assays, and it was hypothesized that the reactivity of human sera against LPyV may generally be due to cross-reactivity between HPyV9 and LPyV. The HPyV9 seroprevalence of liver transplant recipients and patients with neurological dysfunctions did not differ from that of age-matched controls, but a significantly higher seroprevalence was determined in renal and haematopoietic stem-cell transplant recipients, indicating that certain immunocompromised patient groups may be at a higher risk for primary infection with or for reactivation of HPyV9.

description: Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections represent a serious challenge for health-care institutions. Rapid and precise identification of MRSA carriers can help to reduce both nosocomial transmissions and unnecessary isolations and associated costs. The practical details of MRSA screenings (who, how, when and where to screen) remain a controversial issue. Methods: Aim of this study was to determine which MRSA screening and management strategy causes the lowest expected cost for a hospital. For this cost analysis a decision analytic cost model was developed, primary based on data from peer-reviewed literature. Single and multiplex sensitivity analyses of the parameters “costs per MRSA case per day”, “costs for pre-emptive isolation per day”, “MRSA rate of transmission not in isolation per day” and “MRSA prevalence” were conducted. Results: The omission of MRSA screening was identified as the alternative with the highest risk for the hospital. Universal MRSA screening strategies are by far more cost-intensive than targeted screening approaches. Culture confirmation of positive PCR results in combination with pre-emptive isolation generates the lowest costs for a hospital. This strategy minimizes the chance of false-positive results as well as the possibility of MRSA cross transmissions and therefore contains the costs for the hospital. These results were confirmed by multiplex and single sensitivity analyses. Single sensitivity analyses have shown that the parameters “MRSA prevalence” and the “rate of MRSA of transmission per day of non-isolated patients” exert the greatest influence on the choice of the favorite screening strategy. Conclusions: It was shown that universal MRSA screening strategies are far more cost-intensive than the targeted screening approaches. In addition, it was demonstrated that all targeted screening strategies produce lower costs than not performing a screening at all.

Seeds and Sequences of Element Abundances in Solar Energetic Particle Events

description: Solar energetic particles (SEPs) in the small "impulsive" events, primarily accelerated during magnetic reconnection in solar jets, have strong enhancements of the abundances of increasingly heavy elements. In contrast, the shock acceleration of ambient coronal plasma in most large "gradual" SEP events produces flat or decreasing abundances vs. element mass-to-charge ratios A/Q. However, heavy-ion enhancements in the largest gradual SEP events can occur in two ways: (1) strong streaming of protons away from the shock amplifies Alfven waves that preferentially scatter and retard protons near the shock while increasingly-heavy ions can leak out, and (2) strong shock waves re-accelerate SEPs fed from persistent impulsive SEP events streaming from some active regions, with their pre-enhanced heavy ions becoming dominant. Power-law fits of abundance enhancements vs. A/Q can distinguish the latter events by the presence of both impulsive and coronal-seed components, and the best-fit charges Q define characteristic source temperatures. Intense impulsively-seeded events can occur in sequences fed from a single persistent active-region as it rotates across the disk of the Sun. Three week-long event sequences, each producing two or three very large events, occur early in the strong solar-cycle 23. The weak solar-cycle 24, produces only one impulsively-seeded event sequence - perhaps a dearth of both impulsive seeds and sufficiently strong shocks. Solar cycle 25 has produced an unusual active period of short strong impulsive events In contrast, there are other active regions where large events alternate SEPs with and without impulsively-seeded sources. We also find that events with moderate Alfven-wave trapping near the shock can release ions slowly or rapidly as a function of A/Q. This A/Q-dependent trapping acts almost as a magnetic spectrometer that separates elements in space and time.

Sonic acknowledgments. La territorialit�� delle politiche nella pratica dell'ascolto
Creators: name: DI CROCE, NICOLA

Year: 2016

description: The research aims at investigating the relationship between urban and regional planning, policy analysis and design, and Sound Studies. It seeks to acknowledge the urban and regional issues through the raise of sonic awareness, thus discussing the epistemology of specific urban ?problems? and proposing an alternative research tools. The analytical approach is preliminary to policy design and to the empowerment of vulnerable communities. Listening becomes then a research device through which it is possible to explore those problematic issues that go unnoticed by the institutions.
The thesis is an invitation to read alternatively public policies, and to overcome the ?problem solving? approach towards a sonic articulation of the ?problem setting? approach. By investigating the sonic environment the research intends to show how knowledge is produced and used by policy makers. Thus sound and sonic environment turn to shape a new model of understanding full of potential although scarcely used by urban planning and policy design; therefore the sonic environment defines its deep political dimension. Within this framework the research will introduce and clarify the notion of soundscape, sonic environment, acoustic atmosphere, and will explore the set of cultural and political studies that are facing the perception, emotion and social behavior related to sound production and fruition.

description: Die Arbeit nimmt Stellung zu den komplexen Zusammenhängen von Epidemiologie und Gesundheitspolitik. Dabei wird zuerst auf die verschiedenen Modelle der Politikberatung und die dabei auftretenden Wechselwirkungen und Probleme zwischen Politik und Wissenschaften im Allgemeinen eingegangen. Dies leitet über zu den etwas spezielleren Problemen der Epidemiologie und Gesundheitspolitik. Die Epidemiologie, die die Verteilung von Gesundheit, gesundheitsrelevanten Faktoren und Krankheit in der Bevölkerung systematisch untersucht, bietet gute Voraussetzungen für eine evidenzbasierte Gesundheitspolitik. Welche Schwierigkeiten und Chancen es im konkreten Fall geben kann, wird in dieser Arbeit sowohl systematisch als auch exemplarisch untersucht. Das Fazit besteht darin, dass Politiker und Epidemiologen sich um einen gleichberechtigten Kommunikationsprozess bemühen und dazu erforderliche Fähigkeiten und Kenntnisse weiterentwickeln müssen. Das Wissen um unterschiedliche Denkweisen, Zielsetzungen, Wertesysteme und sprachliche Erfordernisse ist dabei hilfreich.
description: This work comments on the complex relationship between epidemiology and health policy. In a first step different models of scientific advice in policy and interactions between policy and science are regarded in general. In a second step the more special problems in the relationship between epidemiology and health policy are discussed. Epidemiology investigates the distribution of health, illness and risk factors in a population in a systematic way. This gives the basis for evidence-based policy. The difficulties and chances in this process are explained in a systematic as well as in an exemplary way. As a conclusion, politicians and epidemiologists should enter into a process of communication and develop the necessary abilities. The knowledge of differences in thinking, aims and values may be helpful in this process.

The Lion's Share: "Three main forms of automatic self-regulation are identified: [1] an automatic effect of perception on action, [2] the automatic pursuit of a goal and [3] a continuous automatic evaluation of one's experience.

Based on the accumulated evidence, the authors conclude that these various non-conscious mental systems shoulder the lion's share of the self-regulatory burden, thereby keeping the individual grounded in their current environment."

 The express link between perception [of the environment] and action likely exists for a good adaptive reason, such as creating appropriate behavioral preparations in the absence of conscious guidance and monitoring.

 La part du lion : « Trois formes principales d'autorégulation automatique sont identifiées : [1] un effet automatique de la perception sur l'action, [2] la poursuite automatique d'un objectif et [3] une évaluation automatique continue de son expérience.

Sur la base des preuves accumulées, les auteurs concluent que ces divers systèmes mentaux non conscients assument la part du lion du fardeau de l'autorégulation, gardant ainsi l'individu ancré dans son environnement actuel.
 Les catégories mentales sont absolument essentielles pour simplifier et comprendre l'environnement riche en informations,…
 Le lien explicite entre la perception [de l'environnement] et l'action existe probablement pour une bonne raison adaptative, comme la création de préparations comportementales appropriées en l'absence de conseils et de surveillance conscients.

description: This study evaluated the effectiveness of a depression literacy program on depression literacy, mental health stigma, and help-seeking attitude among adolescents with a monthly household income of RM3900 a month or less (B40) in Malaysia. The program included a lecture, mental awareness activities, and a short video on depression. Residents from a boarding school for lower income families were involved in this study (N = 101); 53 of them underwent the program and another 48 served as the control group. There were significant improvements for all variables in the intervention group (better depression literacy, reduced self-stigma, reduced negative beliefs on mental health, and increased help-seeking) at posttest. However, the results were sustained at 3-month follow-up only for the depression literacy, mental help-seeking attitude, and self-stigma of seeking help variables when compared with the control group. The findings highlight the need to improve the program to enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of the outcomes.
