description: Visitors’ expectations of museums in the modern world consist of both utilitarian and hedonic aspects. Given visitors’ diverse expectations and demands, traditional museums have taken actions to attract more visitors. Taking advantage of new technologies is the current action and trend in the museum industry. The emergence of digital museums is the reflection of this tendency, which use digital technologies such as projectors, surrounded sound, ambient lights, and multisensory cues to present a virtual environment. In the virtual environment, emotional state and sense of presence are considered to be useful to provide a more engaging experience. Therefore, this research empirically investigated digital museum visitor experience perceptions and the influence of emotional state and sense of presence on experience perceptions. The different impact of multisensory cues on experience and the relative mediation effect were also examined. Data were collected with a scenario-based online survey conducted through Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk). A split-sample approach with a total of 382 respondents was used for analysis. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used to explore visitor experience perceptions of the digital museum. Structural equation modeling was used to discover the impact of emotional state and sense of presence. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the difference in impact of multisensory cues on overall visitor experience. This research also employed the PROCESS macro in SPSS for demonstrating the mediating effect of emotional state and sense of presence through the impact of multisensory cues on overall visitor experience. The findings of this study revealed three experience perceptions—respectively, joviality, personal escapism, and localness experiences—of digital museums. Also, this research presented the positive effect of emotional state on joviality experience and negative effect of emotional state on localness experience. In addition, a notable positive impact of sense of presence on joviality, personal escapism, and localness experience perceptions was found. No significant effect of emotional state on personal escapism was found in this research. Moreover, visual and auditory cues together were confirmed as the most powerful indicator for triggering the greatest experience level. The impact was found to be valid due to the mediating role of emotional state and sense of presence. This research contributed theoretically and practically to museum literature and experience research. Theoretical implications were discussed to indicate this research as the framework to measure digital museum visitor experience based on the proposed three-factor structure. Practical implications were provided for museum managers. Limitations and future research were discussed.

description: In addition to their well-known antibacterial activity some antimicrobial peptides and proteins (AMPs) display also antiviral effects. A 27 aa peptide from the N-terminal part of human bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) previously shown to harbour antibacterial activity inhibits the infectivity of multiple Influenza A virus strains (H1N1, H3N2 and H5N1) the causing agent of the Influenza pneumonia. In contrast, the homologous murine BPI-peptide did not show activity against Influenza A virus. In addition human BPI-peptide inhibits the activation of immune cells mediated by Influenza A virus. By changing the human BPIpeptide to the sequence of the mouse homologous peptide the antiviral activity was completely abolished. Furthermore, the human BPI-peptide also inhibited the pathogenicity of the Vesicular Stomatitis Virus but failed to interfere with HIV and measles virus. Electron microscopy indicate that the human BPI-peptide interferes with the virus envelope and at high concentrations was able to destroy the particles completely.

Subjects: Computer vision

description: Estimation of physiological vital signs such as the Heart Rate (HR) has attracted a lot of attention due to the increase interest in health monitoring. The most common HR estimation methods such as Photoplethysmography(PPG) require the physical contact with the subject and limit the movement of the subject. Video-based HR estimation, known as videoplethysmography (VHR), uses image/video processing techniques to estimate remotely the human HR. Even though various VHR methods have been proposed over the past 5 years, there are still challenging problems such as diverse skin tone and motion artifacts. In this thesis we present a VHR method using temporal difference filtering and small variation amplification based on the assumption that HR is the small color variations of skin, i.e. micro blushing. This method is evaluated and compared with the two previous VHR methods. Additionally, we propose the use of spatial pruning for an alternative of skin detection and homomorphic filtering for the motion artifact compensation.
 Intelligent video surveillance system is a crucial tool for public safety. One of the goals is to extract meaningful information efficiently from the large volume of surveillance videos. Person re-identification (ReID) is a fundamental task associated with intelligent video surveillance system. For example, ReID can be used to identity the person of interest to help law enforcement when they re-appear in the different cameras at different time. ReID can be formally defined as establishing the correspondence between images of a person taken from different cameras. Even though ReID has been intensively studied over the past years, it is still an active research area due to various challenges such as illumination variations, occlusions, view point changes and the lack of data. In this thesis we propose a weighted two stream train- ing objective function which combines the Siamese cost of the spatial and temporal streams with the objective of predicting a person’s identity. Additionally, we present a camera-aware image-to-image translation method using similarity preserving Star- GAN (SP-StarGAN) as the data augmentation for ReID. We evaluate our proposed methods on the publicly available datasets and demonstrate the efficacy of our methods.

description: Les fictions historiques de Malraux et de Tolstoï ont des différences fondamentales. Premièrement, quand Tolstoï utilise le mysticisme chrétien de son époque pour répondre à la philosophie hégélienne, Malraux emploie le mysticisme oriental pour répondre aux métarécits du communisme, du fascisme, et de l’impérialisme. Deuxièmement, cependant que Tolstoï pense que la souffrance de la vie vient du conflit entre la libre volonté et les forces déterministes, et que cette souffrance confirme la rédemption chrétienne dans l’après-mort, Malraux trouve que seule la mort peut donner la signification à la vie comme le moment où on peut affirmer la victoire de la libre volonté sur les forces déterministes du monde.

Subjects: Biochemistry and cell biology not elsewhere classified

description: The Deubiquitinating (DUB) enzymes, LotA and UCHL1 R178Q, were examined biochemically and also structurally in the case of UCHL1 R178Q. LotA is a bacterial effector of Legionella pneumophila that enables the pathogen to establish a replicative niche. LotA has two Deubiquitinase (DUB) domains specific to different substrates. Here, I report biochemical examinations the first DUB domain that is specific to Lys6-linked di-ubiquitin. Michaelis- Menten kinetic parameters were determined for this domain. Through activity assays of various truncations a series of residues were discerned that contribute to interaction of the distal binding site of ubiquitin chain. UCHL1 mutant R178Q displays enhanced activity when compared to wild type (WT). The mutant was crystallized for structural analysis to gain insights into the higher catalytic activity of the mutant. The structure revealed that the catalytic histidine maintains a misaligned orientation similar to the WT enzyme. Biochemical analysis was done to ascertain the role of key residues that interact with the catalytic histidine. The residue type at position 178 in the structure plays a key role in enhancing the enzyme activity.

description: A total of 272 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from equine infections originating from 17 equine hospitals and 39 veterinary practices in Germany as well as 67 isolates from personnel working at equine clinics were subjected to molecular typing. The majority of isolates from horses was attributed to clonal complex (CC) 398 (82.7%). Within CC398, 66% of isolates belonged to a subpopulation (clade) of CC398, which is associated with equine clinics. MRSA attributed to CC8 (ST254, t009, t036, SCCmecIV; ST8, t064, SCCmecIV) were less frequent (16.5%). Single isolates were attributed to ST1, CC22, ST130, and ST1660. The emergence of MRSA CC22 and ST130 in horses was not reported so far. Nasal MRSA colonization was found in 19.5% of veterinary personnel with occupational exposure to horses. The typing characteristics of these isolates corresponded to isolates from equine infections. Comparing typing characteristics of equine isolates with those of a substantial number of isolates from human infections typed at the German Reference Center for Staphylococci and Enterococci (2006–2014; n = 10864) yielded that the proportion of isolates exhibiting characteristics of MRSA from equine medicine is very low (< 0.5%). As this low proportion was also found among MRSA originating from nasal screenings of human carriers not suffering from a staphylococcal infection (n = 5546) transmission of MRSA from equine clinics to the community seems to be rare so far.

description: Within the aerospace design, analysis and optimization community, there is an increasing demand to finalize the preliminary design phase of the wing as quickly as possible without losing much on accuracy. This includes rapid generation of designs, an early adaption of higher fidelity models and automation in structural analysis of the internal structure of the wing. To perform the structural analysis, the aerodynamic load can be transferred to the wing using many different methods. Generally, for preliminary analysis, indirect load transfer method is used and for detailed analysis, direct load transfer method is used. For the indirect load transfer method, load is discretized using shear-moment-torque (SMT) curve and applied to ribs of the wing. For the direct load transfer method, the load is distributed using one-way Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) and applied to the skin of the wing. In this research, structural analysis is performed using both methods and the nodal displacement is compared. Further, to optimize the internal structure, iterative changes are made in the number of structural members. To accommodate these changes in geometry as quickly as possible, the parametric design method is used through Engineering SketchPad (ESP). ESP can also provide attributions the geometric feature and generate multi-fidelity models consistently. ESP can generate the Nastran mesh file (.bdf) with the nodes and the elements grouped according to their geometric attributes. In this research, utilizing the attributions and consistency in multi-fidelity models an API is created between ESP and Nastran to automatize the multi-fidelity structural optimization. This API generates the design with appropriate parameters and mesh file using ESP. Through the attribution in the mesh file, the API works as a pre-processor to apply material properties, boundary condition, and optimization parameters. The API sends the mesh file to Nastran and reads the results file to iterate the number of the structural member in design. The result file is also used to transfer the nodal deformation from lower-order fidelity structural models onto the higher-order ones to have multi-fidelity optimization. Here, static structural optimization on the whole wing serves as lower fidelity model and buckling optimization on each stiffened panel serves as higher fidelity model. To further extend this idea, a parametric model of the whole aircraft is also created.

description: In its natural habitat, the soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis often has to cope with fluctuating osmolality and nutrient availability. Upon nutrient depletion it can form dormant spores, which can revive to form vegetative cells when nutrients become available again. While the effects of salt stress on spore germination have been analyzed previously, detailed knowledge on the salt stress response during the subsequent outgrowth phase is lacking. In this study, we investigated the changes in gene expression during B. subtilis outgrowth in the presence of 1.2 M NaCl using RNA sequencing. In total, 402 different genes were upregulated and 632 genes were downregulated during 90 min of outgrowth in the presence of salt. The salt stress response of outgrowing spores largely resembled the osmospecific response of vegetative cells exposed to sustained high salinity and included strong upregulation of genes involved in osmoprotectant uptake and compatible solute synthesis. The σB-dependent general stress response typically triggered by salt shocks was not induced, whereas the σW regulon appears to play an important role for osmoadaptation of outgrowing spores. Furthermore, high salinity induced many changes in the membrane protein and transporter transcriptome. Overall, salt stress seemed to slow down the complex molecular reorganization processes (“ripening”) of outgrowing spores by exerting detrimental effects on vegetative functions such as amino acid metabolism.

description: Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are important tools in bacterial virulence but their role in the pathogenesis of infections caused by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157, the leading cause of life-threatening hemolytic uremic syndrome, is poorly understood. Using proteomics, electron and confocal laser scanning microscopy, immunoblotting, and bioassays, we investigated OMVs secreted by EHEC O157 clinical isolates for virulence factors cargoes, interactions with pathogenetically relevant human cells, and mechanisms of cell injury. We demonstrate that O157 OMVs carry a cocktail of key virulence factors of EHEC O157 including Shiga toxin 2a (Stx2a), cytolethal distending toxin V (CdtV), EHEC hemolysin, and flagellin. The toxins are internalized by cells via dynamin-dependent endocytosis of OMVs and differentially separate from vesicles during intracellular trafficking. Stx2a and CdtV-B, the DNase-like CdtV subunit, separate from OMVs in early endosomes. Stx2a is trafficked, in association with its receptor globotriaosylceramide within detergent-resistant membranes, to the Golgi complex and the endoplasmic reticulum from where the catalytic Stx2a A1 fragment is translocated to the cytosol. CdtV-B is, after its retrograde transport to the endoplasmic reticulum, translocated to the nucleus to reach DNA. CdtV-A and CdtV-C subunits remain OMV-associated and are sorted with OMVs to lysosomes. EHEC hemolysin separates from OMVs in lysosomes and targets mitochondria. The OMV-delivered CdtV-B causes cellular DNA damage, which activates DNA damage responses leading to G2 cell cycle arrest. The arrested cells ultimately die of apoptosis induced by Stx2a and CdtV via caspase-9 activation. By demonstrating that naturally secreted EHEC O157 OMVs carry and deliver into cells a cocktail of biologically active virulence factors, thereby causing cell death, and by performing first comprehensive analysis of intracellular trafficking of OMVs and OMV-delivered virulence factors, we provide new insights into the pathogenesis of EHEC O157 infections. Our data have implications for considering O157 OMVs as vaccine candidates.

description: This research study investigates the role of family relationships in the emotional regulation of young adults aged 18-22. Utilizing a quantitative research design with a sample of 100 participants, this study explored the association between perceived family environment, emotional expressivity, and psychological wellbeing. Correlation analysis revealed significant associations between positive family relationship dimensions (cohesion, expressiveness) and both emotional expressivity and wellbeing. Conversely, negative family relationship dimensions (conflict, control) showed negative correlations with emotional expressivity and wellbeing. These findings underscore the enduring influence of family relationships on the emotional regulation and overall psychological health of young adults, highlighting the importance of fostering positive family environments for healthy emotional development.

CONSEQUENCES OF OTTOMAN EXPANSION ON DAILY ACTIVITY IN CROATIA: AN EXAMINATION OF ENTHESEAL REMODELING AND OSTEOARTHRITIS

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Anthropology not elsewhere classified

description: The purpose of this dissertation research was to use markers of activity change to explore the effects of imperial expansion and sociopolitical upset on a population. This study focused on markers such as entheseal remodeling and the development and progression of osteoarthritis that are commonly used in bioarchaeological literature to assess changes in activity over time. Three populations were used, comprised of seven different sites, which are divided into the Late Medieval (pre-Ottoman), Early Modern (post-Ottoman), and Vlach populations. These sites come from both the Adriatic and continental region of Croatia and are curated at the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts – Anthropology Center. The skeleton is highly plastic, which allows it to serve as an archive for the lived experiences of the individual. Because of this plasticity, embodiment theory was employed as a lens through which to examine the changing activity of people under Ottoman rule. Historical narratives paint this time period as being rife with conflict, with a large proportion of the Croatian population being displaced, subsumed by the Ottoman threat, or killed. This is reported to have caused drastic changes in the daily lives of all Croatians across the country as they were forced to adapt to new rulers or leave their homes. This was tested by examining entheseal remodeling and osteoarthritis within the different populations. The data indicate that although there were some differences found between the time periods, the changes were not as drastic as what may have been expected from the historical data. This is perhaps due to most Croatian people at the time being serfs, living a rugged lifestyle on the lands of feudal lords. Although the Ottomans may have been relentless rulers, they may not have worked common Croatians more so than their Croatian lords. Most people probably remained in their roles as craftsmen or food producers, which would not have left dramatic changes in the form of activity markers on the skeleton.

description: Background: Herpes simplex infections (HSV1/2) are characterized by recurrent symptoms, a risk of neonatal herpes, and the facilitation of HIV transmission. In Germany, HSV1/2 infections are not notifiable and data are scarce. A previous study found higher HSV1/2 seroprevalences in women in East Germany than in women in West Germany. We assessed changes in the HSV1/2 seroprevalences over time and investigated determinants associated with HSV1/2 seropositivity to guide prevention and control. Methods: The study was based on the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS; 2008–2011) and the German National Health Interview and Examination Survey (GNHIES; 1997–1999). We tested serum samples from DEGS participants for HSV1 and HSV2 immunoglobulin G. We used Pearson’s χ2 test to compare the HSV1/HSV2 seroprevalences in terms of sex, age, and region of residence (East/West Germany) and investigated potential determinants by calculating prevalence ratios (PR) with log-binomial regression. All statistical analyses included survey weights. Results: In total, 6627 DEGS participants were tested for HSV1, and 5013 were also tested for HSV2. Overall, HSV1 seroprevalence decreased significantly from 1997–1999 (82.1%; 95%CI 80.6–83.6) to 2008–2011 (78.4%; 95%CI 77.8–79.7). In the same period, overall HSV2 seroprevalence decreased significantly from 13.3% (95%CI 11.9–14.9) to 9.6% (95%CI 8.6–10.8), notably in 18–24-year-old men (10.4 to 0%) in East Germany. Women were more likely than men to be seropositive for HSV1 (PR 1.1) or HSV2 (PR 1.6). A lower level of education, smoking, and not speaking German were associated with HSV1 in both sexes. Women of older age, who smoked, or had a history of abortion and men of older age or who had not attended a nursery school during childhood were more often seropositive for HSV2. Conclusion: The reduced seroprevalences of HSV1 and HSV2 leave more people susceptible to genital HSV1/2 infections. Practitioners should be aware of HSV infection as a differential diagnosis for genital ulcers. We recommend educational interventions to raise awareness of the sexual transmission route of HSV1/2, possible consequences, and prevention. Interventions should especially target pregnant women, their partners, and people at risk of HIV.

The Roles of Vowel Harmony and Stress in Predicting Vowel-to-Vowel Coarticulation

description: Similar phonetic and phonological processes often exist in predictable synchronic relationships across languages: when a process is phonologized, its phonetic predecessor is suppressed to resolve conflicting demands on the relevant set of acoustic cues (Cohn, 1990; Francis, Ciocca, Wong, & Chan, 2006). In the case of vowel harmony and vowel-to-vowel (VV) coarticulation, the diachronic origins of harmony in VV coarticulation are well-supported (Ohala, 1994), but their synchronic relationship is not fully understood. This dissertation investigates coarticulatory directionality in Spanish, Tatar, and Hungarian in order to better understand how stress and vowel harmony impact language-specific directional preferences in VV coarticulation. In the Spanish study, the strongest VV coarticulation occurred in unstressed vowels, while stressed vowels inhibited coarticulatory magnitude. In Tatar, the dominant direction of VV coarticulation was anticipatory, and tentative initial evidence emerged that Tatar harmony may be undergoing reanalysis with regard to a marginalized lexical subset of orthographically disharmonic items. Finally, in Hungarian, results were mixed; both anticipatory and carryover VV coarticulation predominated under different conditions. Results point to a limited impact of stress on VV coarticulatory direction, with no consistent cross-linguistic relationship between the directions of vowel harmony and VV coarticulation.

KAT�CHON E CURA. Il dovere nell?et� dei diritti
Creators: name: BUFFO, ANGELO PIO

Year: 2019

description: Prendere sul serio i diritti implica prendere sul serio i doveri. Non solo per scongiurare un esiziale riduzionismo cognitivo ? data la liaison morfologica e assiologica che ne struttura il binomio ? ma anche perch� la tensione fra queste due polarit� che innervano la geometria delle relazioni umane illumina molti snodi problematici, giuridici e morali, del nostro tempo. In quest?ottica, il presente lavoro, dopo aver indagato le cause che hanno condotto la cultura giuridica a congedarsi dal dovere, a marginalizzarlo, fino a farlo arretrare nel cono d?ombra dell?ostilit�, propone di rivalorizzarlo mostrandone due profili. Si tratta di due v�lti del dovere che si coimplicano. E che esprimono esigenze divenute imprescindibili in un contesto segnato dall?onnipotenza della tecnica e dalla prepotenza del mercato. Il primo � analizzato alla luce del kat�chon, controversa categoria concettuale della teologia politica. Categoria che Carl Schmitt attinge da un frammento della seconda epistola ai Tessalonicesi in cui si fa cenno a una enigmatica potenza, qualcosa (?� ??????? - 2Ts 2,6) o qualcuno (o ??????? - 2Ts 2,7), che trattiene il trionfo del mysterium iniquitatis e frena il dilagare dell?anomia (??????). La credenza in un potere qui tenet, trascesa la cornice escatologica paolina, ha rappresentato un punto nevralgico degli studi teologici, filosofico-politici e giuridici. In questa sede, l?idea di una istanza di moderazione � ripresa e associata alla configurazione del dovere come spazio catecontico nell?esperienza giuridica contemporanea. In particolare, la sua vis frenante � esaminata in tre direzioni: come argine allo svuotamento per estensione dei diritti fondamentali; come limite alla normativizzazione dei desideri; come garante, sul versante dei costi, della concreta sostenibilit� delle tutele. Il secondo profilo afferisce al paradigma della Cura. Alla Sorge che Heidegger ? nella duplice declinazione del prendersi-cura (Besorgen) e di aver-cura (F�rsorge) ? riconduce alla struttura ontologico-esistenziale del Dasein, qualificandola come �l?essere dell?esserci�. Ma l?analisi prende in considerazione anche l?ethics of care che costituisce un interessante modello di etica relazionale. Un?etica della concretezza che, contemplando il v�lto dell?altro, si fa carico della sua fragilit�. In ci� presentandosi come valida alternativa alle logiche dell?individualismo e dell?utilitarismo che dilagano nell?et� della tecnica. Visto da questa angolatura, il dovere si spoglia della tara autoritaria che, a torto o a ragione, da sempre l?accompagna. Poich� non proietta lo sguardo di Gorgone del potere. Ma riflette la vista compassionevole del Buon Samaritano. In questo modo, il dovere immette nel sistema giuridico la �corrente calda� della solidariet�. E si fa custode della incommensurabile dignit� dell?uomo, soprattutto quando questa � esposta all?esperienza del dolore e della vulnerabilit�.

description: Electrospinning has gained immense interests in recent years due to its potential application in various fields, including energy storage application. The V2O5/GO as a layered crystal structure has been demonstrated to fabricate nanofibers with diameters within a range of ~300nm through electrospinning technique. The porous, hollow, and interconnected nanostructures were produced by electrospinning formed by polymers such as Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), separately, as solvent polymers with electrospinning technique. In this study, we investigated the synthesis of a graphene-modified nanostructured V2O5 through modified sol-gel method and electrospinning of V2O5/GO hybrid. Electrochemical characterization was performed by utilizing Arbin Battery cycler, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Mercury Porosimetery, and BET surface area measurement. As compared to the other conventional fabrication methods, our optimized sol-gel method, followed by the electrospinning of the cathode material achieved a high initial capacity of 342 mAh/g at a high current density of 0.5C (171 mA/g) and the capacity retention of ~80% after 20 cycles. Also, the prepared sol-gel method outperforms the pure V2O5 cathode material, by obtaining the capacity almost two times higher. The results of this study showed that post-synthesis treatment of cathode material plays a prominent role in electrochemical performance of the nanostructured vanadium oxides. By controlling the annealing and drying steps, and time, a small amount of pyrolysis carbon can be retained, which improves the conductivity of the V2O5 nanorods. Also, controlled post-synthesis helped us to prevent aggregation of electro-spun twisted nanostructured fibers which deteriorates the lithium diffusion process during charge/discharge of batteries.
Translations of Akkadian Graffiti at Wadi el-Ḥôl Egypt (1500 BCE)

description: This is the first  translation of the two graffiti texts found at the exit of Wadi el-Ḥôl ("Wadi of Terror") in the Qena bend area of Egypt. Their signs represent a transitional stage between Minoan Phaistos Disk and Linear A. These texts were found by John and Deborah Darnell during their 1993-94 excavation season (Darnell, and all 2005). Their location was the first night’s camping spot on a caravan route out of Luxor, the longtime Egyptian capital in the center of the country. At the time Luxor was re-establishing its power and would soon become the capital of a newly reunited Egypt in 1550 BCE. Its 18th dynasty rulers (1550-1295 BCE) would soon reunite Egypt by throwing out the Akkadian speaking rulers from the Levant known as the Hyksos (c. 1640-1550 BC).
