description: We present a manifestly duality covariant formulation of the composite non-BPS and almost-BPS systems of multi-centre black hole solutions in four dimensions. The method of nilpotent orbits is used to define the two systems in terms of first order flow equations that transform covariantly under the duality group. Subsequently, we rewrite both systems of equations in terms of real, manifestly duality covariant, linear systems of Poisson equations. Somewhat unexpectedly, we find that the two systems are naturally described by the same equations involving space dependent abelian isometries that are conjugate to T-dualities by similarity transformations.

description: Measurements of the low-z Halpha luminosity function have a large dispersion in the local number density of sources, and correspondingly in the SFR density. The possible causes for these discrepancies include limited volume sampling, biases arising from survey sample selection, different methods of correcting for dust obscuration and AGN contamination. The Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) provide deep spectroscopic observations over a wide sky area enabling detection of a large sample of star-forming galaxies spanning 0.001

Brachiopsilus

description: Brachiopsilus gen. nov.
 Type species: Brachiopsilus ziebelli sp. nov., by original designation.
 Definition. Members of the genus Brachiopsilus are unique among brachionichthyids in having the following combination of features: body relatively deep, 31–43% SL at second dorsal-fin origin; head robust, suboval to slightly compressed in cross section, large, 47–58% SL; caudal peduncle very short, 1–5% SL; illicium short to long and slender (2.2–3.6 in head length), 3–5 times length of esca; skin thick, surface smooth or covered with low, cutaneous ridges, but lacking enlarged, fleshy, wart-like protuberances; no surface scales or protruding spinules apart from sensory scales (deeply embedded scale fragments sometimes present); dermal appendages absent; either body or fins brightly coloured or with a strongly speckled pattern; pectoral-fin rays 9–10 (mainly 9); anal-fin rays 9–10; vertebrae 22–25 (mainly 23 or 24).
 Etymology. Combination of the Latin brachium (arm) and Greek psilos (bare or smooth) in allusion to the smooth surfaces of their body and arm-like pectoral fins.
 Species. Presently contains three valid nominal species: Brachiopsilus ziebelli sp. nov., B. dianthus sp. nov. and B. dossenus sp. nov. Another form provisionally placed within B. ziebelli needs further investigation to determine its validity.
 Remarks. Brachiopsilus is unique among handfishes in having thick, smooth skin lacking warty protuberances (unlike Thymichthys), protruding spinules (unlike Brachionichthys, Pezichthys, and Sympterichthys), and dermal appendages. Deeply embedded scale fragments are sometimes present but these are difficult to find without transmitted light and microscopic magnification. Species of Brachiopsilus are high count forms with the highest pectoral-fin counts (i.e. 9–10, only Thymichthys and Sympterichthys have 9 or more), vertebral counts (i.e. shares usually 23 or more with Brachionichthys vs. generally 20–23 in other genera), and second dorsal-fin (i.e. shares usually 17–19 with Brachionichthys vs. generally 17 or fewer in the other genera) and anal-fin (i.e. 9–10 vs. 8–11 in Brachionichthys, 7–9 in Pezichthys and Sympterichthys) ray counts. Two of the three species are the largest and most robust of all extant handfishes (reaching at least 117 mm SL vs. about 100 mm in Brachionichthys, 46 mm in Pezichthys, 45 mm in Sympterichthys, and 90 mm SL in Thymichthys). Members of this genus are confined to southern Victoria and Tasmania.

description: We apply the method of asymptotic homogenization to metamaterials with microscopically bianisotropic inclusions to calculate a full set of constitutive parameters in the long wavelength limit. Two different implementations of electromagnetic asymptotic homogenization are presented. We test the homogenization procedure on two different metamaterial examples. Finally, the analytical solution for long wavelength homogenization of a one dimensional metamaterial with microscopically bi-isotropic inclusions is derived.
How vulnerability affects the co-creation of patient safety: Views of healthcare professionals and acute medical patients
Creators: name: Sutton, Elizabeth A.
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The aim of this thesis is to explore the views of acute medical patients and healthcare professionals on the role of vulnerability in patient safety.Drawing on secondary analysis of qualitative interviews with healthcare professionals and newly collected interviews with acute medical patients and relatives, I explore the way in which vulnerability impacts on the interactions between healthcare professionals and acute medical patients.Employing a thematic analysis informed by theories including the sick role, performativity and risk work, I reveal the problematic nature of patient involvement at the point of care from the healthcare professionals’ and patient perspective. Healthcare staff believe that patient vulnerability is a barrier to raising concerns at the point of care and favour confidential feedback as an approach to involvement that overcomes that vulnerability. Their views on organisational responses to involvement highlight the extent to which involvement is often formal, planned and reactive.Interviews with patients and relatives show that patients’ understandings of safety arise from their vulnerability to their illness, their uncertain situations and their dependence on others. In order to feel safe, patients need reassurance that they are cared for, and that staff are acting in their best interests and following the right procedures. Adopting the sick role enables acute medical patients to demonstrate their entitlement to care. Through performing vulnerability, patients are able to generate a caring response from healthcare professionals, thus co-creating safety in situ. Patients and relatives conduct risk work in order to diminish risks from mistakes and from damaging practitioner/patient relationships. The acute care context therefore affects the way that patient involvement in patient safety at the point of care is conceptualised, practised and understood. By explicating how vulnerability and dependency interact with risk and trust, and by applying the concept of risk work to patients, this thesis makes an original contribution to the study of patient involvement in patient safety.
Experimental observation of triple correlations in fluids

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present arguments for the hypothesis that under some conditions, triple correlations of density fluctuations in fluids can be detected experimentally by the method of molecular spectroscopy. These correlations manifest themselves in the form of the so-called 1.5- (i.e., sesquialteral) scattering. The latter is of most significance in the pre-asymptotic vicinity of the critical point and can be registered along certain thermodynamic paths. Its presence in the overall scattering pattern is demonstrated by our processing experimental data for the depolarization factor. Some consequences of these results are discussed.

description: We consider the problem of reconstruction of dielectrics from blind backscattered experimental data. Experimental data were collected by a device, which was built at University of North Carolina at Charlotte. This device sends electrical pulses into the medium and collects the time resolved backscattered data on a part of a plane. The spatially distributed dielectric constant $\varepsilon_{r}(\mathbf{x}),\mathbf{x}\in \mathbb{R}^{3}$ is the unknown coefficient of a wave-like PDE. This coefficient is reconstructed from those data in blind cases. To do this, a globally convergent numerical method is used.

DESIGN, SYNTHESIS AND EVALUATION OF ANTAGONISTS TOWARDS BC2L-C
Creators: name: BERMEO MALO, RAFAEL
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2021

description: This project aims to antagonize for the first time the superlectin BC2L-C from multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogen Burkholderia cenocepacia. MDRs such as Burkholderia cenocepacia have become a hazard in the context of healthcareassociated infections, especially for patients admitted with cystic fibrosis or immunocompromising conditions. As other opportunistic Gram-negative bacteria, this pathogen establishes virulence and biofilms through lectin-mediated adhesion. In particular, the superlectin BC2L-C is believed to cross-link human epithelial cells to B. cenocepacia during pulmonary infection. With the ultimate goal of inhibiting the interactions between the N-terminal of BC2L-C and its target human oligosaccharides, we aim to design glycomimetic antagonists. Here we report the structural study of the target BC2L-C-N-terminal by X-ray crystallography, followed by the design and synthesis of a modular fucoside library of C- and N-glycomimetics. Lastly, we report the biophysical evaluation of the generated glycomimetics against BC2L-CNter by techniques such as STD-NMR, SPR, ITC, DSC; resulting in a lead structure with satisfactory affinity and two crystal structures of antagonist/lectin complexes.

description: We consider the effect of next-to-leading order (NLO) electroweak corrections to Standard Model 2-to-2 processes, taking into account the potentially large double logarithms originating from both real and virtual corrections. A study of the leading Sudakov logarithms is presented and Bloch-Nordsieck (BN) violations are discussed for processes at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. In particular, we focus on the processes Z/photon+jet and also the ratio of Z to photon production. This ratio is known to be insensitive to NLO QCD corrections but this is not expected to be the case for the electroweak corrections. We also comment on the effect of electroweak corrections and the presence of BN violation for QCD processes, in particular dijet production, and also for purely electroweak processes such as W + H and W + Z associated production.

The Relationship of Dynamical Heterogeneity to the Adam-Gibbs and Random First-Order Transition Theories of Glass Formation

description: We carefully examine common measures of dynamical heterogeneity for a model polymer melt and test how these scales compare with those hypothesized by the Adam and Gibbs (AG) and random first-order transition (RFOT) theories of relaxation in glass-forming liquids. To this end, we first analyze clusters of highly mobile particles, the string-like collective motion of these mobile particles, and clusters of relative low mobility. We show that the time scale of the high-mobility clusters and strings is associated with a diffusive time scale, while the low-mobility particles' time scale relates to a structural relaxation time. We find a high degree of similarity in the geometrical structure of these particle clusters. In particular, we show that the fractal dimensions of these clusters are consistent with those of swollen branched polymers or branched polymers with screened excluded-volume interactions. In contrast, the fractal dimension of the strings crosses over from that of self-avoiding walks for small strings, to simple random walks for longer, {more strongly interacting, strings, corresponding to flexible polymers with screened excluded-volume interactions. We examine the appropriateness of identifying the size scales of either mobile particle clusters or strings with the size of cooperatively rearranging regions (CRR) in the AG and RFOT theories. We find that the string size appears to be the most consistent measure of CRR for both the AG and RFOT models. Identifying strings or clusters with the "mosaic" length of the RFOT model relaxes the conventional assumption that the "entropic droplets" are compact. We also confirm the validity of the entropy formulation of the AG theory, constraining the exponent values of the RFOT theory. This constraint, together with the analysis of size scales, enables us to estimate the characteristic exponents of RFOT.

description: The U(1) gauge dynamics on a D4-brane is revisited, with a two form, to construct an effective curvature theory in a second order formalism. We exploit the local degrees in a two form, and modify its dynamics in a gauge invariant way, to incorporate a non-perturbative metric fluctuation in an effective D4-brane. Interestingly, the near horizon D4-brane is shown to describe an asymptotic Anti de Sitter (AdS) in a semi-classical regime. Using Weyl scaling(s), we obtain the emergent rotating geometries leading to primordial de Sitter (dS) and AdS vacua in a quantum regime. Under a discrete transformation, we re-arrange the mixed dS patches to describe a Schwazschild-like dS (SdS) and a topological-like dS (TdS) black holes. We analyze SdS vacuum for Hawking radiations to arrive at Nariai geometry, where a discrete torsion forms a condensate. We perform thermal analysis to identify Nariai vacuum with a TdS. Investigation reveals an AdS patch within a thermal dS brane, which may provide a clue to unfold dS/CFT. In addition, the role of dark energy, sourced by a discrete torsion, in the dS vacua is investigated using Painleve geometries. It is argued that a D-instanton pair is created by a discrete torsion, with a Big Bang/Crunch, at the past horizon in a pure dS. Nucleation, of brane/anti-brane pair(s), is qualitatively analyzed to construct an effective space-time on a D4-brane and its anti brane. Analysis re-assures the significant role played by a non-zero mode, of NS-NS two form, to generalize the notion of branes within a brane.

title: RELATIVE COMPETITIVE ABILITIES, INTERSEXUAL OVERYIELDING, AND POPULATION SEX RATIO CHANGES IN A BRYOPHYTE
Creators: name: Stanley, Zachary
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Unequal sex ratios are widespread in dioecious plants and understanding their cause is important to understanding fundamental aspects of their population dynamics, and yet what causes biased sex ratios in plants is still poorly understood. Competition experiments have been used in plants to predict the outcome of species interactions, but they have rarely been used to help explain sex ratio bias. This study used a response surface competition design to measure the relative competitive abilities of the sexes of the bryophyte Marchantia inflexa (a thallus liverwort of Marchantiaceae) to predict the outcome of competition before the onset of sexual reproductive structures. In bryophytes, dioecy and sex ratio bias is especially common, making them effective organisms for studying sex ratio bias. Given the frequency of female bias in bryophytes, the hypothesis was that females will show a higher competitive ability relative to males. The experiment was conducted in greenhouse conditions at several densities and proportions over the course of seven months. As individuals grew and formed clumps, identities were tracked, and growth measurements were made using photographs and computer imaging software. Both sexes grew on average 41% more with the opposite sex relative to their single-sex cultures. A model predicting future sex ratios showed coexistence between the sexes and predicted a male biased sex ratio of 3.2 males to 1 female. A trade-off was observed for males where single-sex cultures contained more asexual structures than mixed-sex cultures and the reverse for growth rate. Higher levels of asexual reproduction in males in single-sex cultures might be selected for to increase male dispersal for a higher probability of encountering females. This pattern was not found for females. The overyielding results suggest an interaction effect may exist due to niche differentiation between the sexes. In addition, the results suggest that in some dioecious plants a change in sex ratio can occur before differences in their allocation to sexual reproduction.

description: This paper details the investigation of the influence of different disorders in two-dimensional topological insulator systems. Unlike the phase transitions to topological Anderson insulator induced by normal Anderson disorder, a different physical picture arises when bond disorder is considered. Using Born approximation theory, an explanation is given as to why bond disorder plays a different role in phase transition than does Anderson disorder. By comparing phase diagrams, conductance, conductance fluctuations, and the localization length for systems with different types of disorder, a consistent conclusion is obtained. The results indicate that a topological Anderson insulator is dependent on the type of disorder. These results are important for the doping processes used in preparation of topological insulators.

This widely distributed moth occurs from west Africa through south Asia to Japan, and the Malayan and Australian regions. It is in Samoa and no doubt other Pacific island groups. In some countries its larvae feed on cotton, but in Guam it is a leafroller on pago (Hibiscus tiliaceus). We found it often abundant, many of the leaves being partially rolled up for hiding places.

TRANSIZIONE EPITELIO-MESENCHIMALE IN CELLULE DI CARCINOMA DUTTALE DEL PANCREAS: STUDIO MORFOLOGICO E MOLECOLARE
Creators: name: CLERICI, MARCO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2015

description: Abstract Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) is a stepwise and complex biological mechanism which plays an important role in tumor progression. During EMT, epithelial cells undergo a phenotypical switch to mesenchymal cells, acquiring motility and invasion capability. We aimed at clarifying the role of this complex mechanism in the Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) focusing on the expression of EMT markers in different cell culture conditions, such as monolayer and spheroids. For this study we used immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy, zymography, differential proteomics, real-time pcr and western blot to analyse and characterize three commercial PDAC cell lines ( HPAF-II, HPAC and PL45) cultured as monolayer or 3D- spheroids. Our analyses revealed that PDAC cells cultured in monolayer show different epithelial characteristics, such as retention of the E-cadherin/?-catenin complex ? and, consequently, keep zonula adherens junctions ? as well as some mesenchymal and EMT markers, such as high levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). The analysis of 3D-spheroids revealed that the E-cadherin/ ?-catenin complex was similarly expressed at the cell boundaries on the plasma membrane in 2D-monolayers as well as in the 3D-spheroids, but cleavage fragments were detectable in lysates obtained from monolayers. By contrast, N-cadherin expression was observed in few HPAC cells grown in monolayers but increased in 3D-spheroids, and some cells expressing collagen type I were observed in 3D-spheroids. Podoplanin and ?-smooth muscle actin were similarly expressed in both experimental conditions, as well as Snail, Slug and Zeb1. Our results confirm that EMT plays a role in PDAC. In particular, the concomitant retention of an epithelial phenotype based on the retention of zonula adherens junctions together with the expression of mesenchymal markers and proteins involved in actin cytoskeleton reorganization, strongly suggest a collective migration mechanism for PDAC cells. Moreover, the overall information provided by this study support the use of 3D cultures in biomedical research to bridge the gap between traditional cell cultures and in vivo settings. 3D cultures seem provide powerful information on PDAC cells phenotype possibly better reflecting the in vivo organization than monolayer cell culture systems, and could therefore represent a pre-clinical model to identify and validate tumor markers and to study new molecular tools to inhibit signalling pathways, or to target EMT transcription factors.

description: We report the results of magnetoresistance measurements in vertical organic spin valves with the magnetic field oriented perpendicular to the layer stack. The magnetoresistance measurements were performed after carefully preparing either parallel or antiparallel in-plane magnetization states of the magnetic electrodes in order to observe traces of Hanle precession. Due to the low mobility in organic semiconductors the transit time of spin polarized carriers should allow for precession of the spins in perpendicular fields which in statistical average would quench the magnetoresistance. However, in none of the experiments we do observe any change in resistance while sweeping the perpendicular field, up to the point where the electrode's magnetization starts to reorient. This absence of Hanle type effects indicates that the magnetoresistance is not based on the injection of spin polarized electrons into the organic semiconductor but rather on tunneling through pinholes superimposed with tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance.

Its members also differ from other handfishes in the following combination of features: body relatively deep (33–52% SL at second dorsal-fin origin) and variable in shape, subtriangular to compressed slightly in cross section, elongate, length 46–56% SL; caudal peduncle usually very short, 2–6% (rarely to 9%) SL; illicium robust or slender (1.9–3.4 in head length), usually 2–3 (rarely to 4) times length of esca; skin surface usually smooth to touch, with variably developed, embedded scales; scales usually sparse, with simple and/or bifurcate spinules and irregular bases; spinules usually short, adpressed, directed posteriorly, originating at posterior margin of scale base, their tips fully embedded or barely protruding above skin surface; body brightly coloured or with a strong pattern of blotches, spots and reticulations; pectoral-fin rays 7–10 (mainly 8 or 9); anal-fin rays 6–10 (rarely 6); vertebrae 20–24 (mainly 21–23).
 Etymology. Combination of the Greek thymos (warty excrescence) and Greek ichthys (fish) in allusion to the warty protuberances on the skin of these handfishes.
 Species. Presently contains two valid nominal species: Thymichthys politus (Richardson, 1844) and T. verrucosus (McCulloch & Waite, 1918). Regional forms of T. verrucosus differ morphologically and may be separate species.
 Remarks. The type species of the genus, Thymichthys politus, was wrongly listed by Jordan (1919) as the type of Brachionichthys Bleeker 1855 (Eschmeyer & Fricke, 2009). The composition of this group has not been fully resolved and other species, presently assigned to T. verrucosus, may exist. A dedicated investigation using additional material and the assistance of molecular methods is needed to resolve these issues.

THE CENTROSOMAL OFD1 PROTEIN REGULATES AUTOPHAGY INDUCTION

description: The OFD1 protein is codified by the gene mutated in Oral facial digital syndrome type I, a rare developmental disorder ascribed to the growing number of diseases associated to cilia dysfunction. OFD1 encodes for a centrosomal/basal body protein required for formation of primary cilia, sensory organelles present on the cell surface of almost all mammalian cells. A cross talk between autophagy and primary cilia has recently emerged. By using a variety of in vivo and in vitro approaches, I demonstrated that, contrary to what shown for other cilioproteins, OFD1 depletion results in autophagy enhancement and increased autophagosomes biogenesis. In addition, the results obtained indicate that OFD1 acts by regulating the stability of the ULK1 complex which plays a critical role in autophagy initiation. Loss of OFD1 impairs degradation of ULK1 complex components (e.g. ULK1 and ATG13) thus promoting ULK1 kinase activity and enhancing autophagosome biogenesis. The identification of LC3 interacting regions (LIR) in the OFD1 protein sequence suggest that OFD1 may function as a selective autophagy receptor for ATG13 by mediating ATG13 degradation through LC3 interaction. One of the main features of ciliopathies, including OFD type I syndrome, is the presence of renal cystic disease. Conditional renal inactivation of Atg7, an essential gene for autophagy, caused a significant reduction in the number of cysts in mutant kidneys of an Ofd1 mouse model. In line with these observations, treatment with chloroquine, an autophagy inhibitor already used in clinical practice, showed a beneficial effect on the renal cystic phenotype observed in a murine Ofd1 model, suggesting that increased autophagy might be associated to renal cystogenesis. The modulation of autophagy, alone or combined with other treatments, could represent a therapeutic approach in renal cystic disease.

description: G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are membrane proteins that constitute ~30% of the FDA-approved drug targets. Opioid receptors are a subtype of GPCRs with four different receptor types: delta, kappa, mu, and nociception opioid receptors. Opioids such as morphine have been used for thousands of years and are deemed the most effective method for treating pain. However, opioids can have detrimental effects if used illicitly or over an extended period of time. Intriguingly, most of the clinically used opioids act on the mu opioid receptor (µOR). Hence, efforts in recent decades have focused on other opioid receptors to treat pain and other disorders. The delta opioid receptor (δOR) is one of four opioid receptors expressed in the central and peripheral nervous system. The δOR has attracted much attention as a potential target for a multitude of diseases and disorders including substance and alcohol use disorders, ischemia, migraine, and neurodegenerative diseases. However, to date, no δOR agonists, or drugs that act directly at the δOR, have been successful as clinical candidates. Nonetheless, the therapeutic potential of the δOR necessitates the targeting its pharmacologically. In this dissertation, I highlight peptide-based modulation as well as the identification of novel agonists at the δOR. I report research findings in the context of biased agonism at δOR, which is a hypothesized cellular signaling mechanism with potential therapeutic benefits. The focus on this work is the molecular determinants of biased agonism, which were investigated using a combination of cellular and computational approaches.

A BIONIC EYEBLINK: MANAGEMENT OF FACIAL PALSY

Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano

description: This thesis highlights the current gold-standard surgical procedures for the rehabilitation of mimicry in individuals with facial paralysis and explores the potential application of functional electrical stimulation (FES) as a novel treatment restoring the face mimicry. Closed-loop facial pacing represents an innovative solution for prosthetically assisted movements. In particular, blinking is typically symmetrical, enabling healthy eye blink on one side of the face to serve as a trigger to pace assisted blinks on the contralateral side, in case of unilateral peripheral facial palsy. The goals of this research are developing an eyeblink detection system and advancing the understanding of performing surface FES of the facial nerve in order to elicit artificial eyeblinks. The application of a biomimetic device to individuals with acute reversible facial palsy would provide immediate restoration of the periocular function and could be used until either the patient recovers sufficient function to no longer require assistance for eye closure, or the decision is made to proceed with further surgery.

description: The European Public Sphere in the European Broadcasting Space Does the European public sphere exist in European television? Flora Anna Retfalvi PhD in Political Science Recently, as communicating Europe gained importance, a wide academic debate on the EU, its democratic legitimacy and its communicative efforts has risen. The majority of the scientific literature written about EU communication is focused on the concept of the ?European public sphere?, which generally refers to the place where public opinion takes form through the discussion of questions, political issues and decisions and also where political power is placed under scrutiny. This research, besides discussing the mainstreams of the European public sphere(s) and summarizing and updating the ongoing debate over its existence/nature, primarily aims to address two additional aspects: on one hand it seeks to provide insight to the main communication channels and dynamics of information-exchange within the European network of journalists, news-agencies and television broadcasters?for this a qualitative method was used and interviews were conducted with journalists, editors and broadcasters. On the other hand it aims to monitor and measure the perception of European and Europeanized news on national (public) television channels with regard to the European institutions? role in agenda setting, the impact of trust, informedness, language, diversity of news, independence and the channels? ownership. Quantitative methods were used and we have designed graphs and diagrams using raw data from Eurobarometer. The outcomes measure how much general opinion on informedness, image of the EU, trusting the EU institutions and feeling like a citizen reflect the main characteristics of the European public sphere summarized in this research: knowledge, identity, we-feeling, legitimacy, participation and democracy. By comparing these outcomes with the requirements of an existing European public sphere, we can see that media, especially television, contribute to some of the main characteristics of a strong European public sphere, namely to a common knowledge; a European identity; a we-feeling and it also legitimates the EU by increasing trust in citizens. Although we agree with the academic mainstream of the Europeanization of national public spheres, we believe that it will never result in a truly united European public sphere due to numerous influencing elements also described in this research.

description: Digital Twin (DT) holds considerable potential to transform hospitality facilities management (FM) to advance sustainability. Amidst the urgent global call for net zero by 2050 and surging customer demands for green hotels, hoteliers are struggling to elevate travelling experiences for guests while cutting their carbon footprints. Unfortunately, hotel FM is often reactive, posing significant challenges for hoteliers to meet sustainability goals. Previous studies have investigated various energy modelling and BIM-based facilities management; yet, the information exchange between the physical hotel environment and virtual data management remains predominantly static. This study aims to investigate the role of DT in assisting hotel FM to address sustainability challenges. The paper first reviews existing hospitality FM approaches for sustainability, DT definitions and DT applications from the literature. Afterwards, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 industry professionals. The study is novel for designing a DT application framework in hotels. It also contributes by extracting 3 key themes: (1) Business Strategy; (2) Planning and Development and (3) Sustainability and 2 key challenges: (1) Technical Challenges and (2) Organisational Challenges from empirical evidence obtained in interviews. The paper’s findings are significant in guiding the design and deployment of DT systems in hotels in managing their facilities and achieving sustainability goals in the future.
ANALISI DEI PROFILI E DELLE CONSEGUENZE DERIVANTI NELL'ORDINAMENTO DELL'UNIONE EUROPEA DALL'ISTITUZIONE DEL SINGLE RESOLUTION MECHANISM, CON PARTICOLARE RIFERIMENTO AL PRINCIPIO DI SUSSIDIARIET� E ALLA TUTELA GIURISDIZIONALE

description: The doctoral thesis aims to analyse the recent establishment of the Single Resolution Mechanism (SRM) which constitutes the second pillar of the European Banking Union, entrusted by the European legislator with the mission to ensure an orderly resolution of failing banks and groups, with minimum impact on the real economy and public finances of the participating Member States. The objective of this research is to highlight the main consequences arising from the establishment of such a mechanism within the EU framework. To this purpose, attention is paid, on the one hand, to the compatibility between the SRM regulation and the EU subsidiarity principle and, on the other hand, to the main problems related to the field of judicial protection. Chapter I recalls the historical-legal evolutionary process leading to the establishment of the Banking Union. Chapter II focuses on the analysis of the main provisions of the SRM regulation, with particular regard to the organizational and functional aspects of the entire mechanism; to the relationship between the SRB and the NRAs; to the decision-making process and, finally, to the powers they have been assigned with by both the SRM regulation and the BRRD. Once highlighted the SRM ?working context?, analysis have been conducted in order to study the SRM regulation through the ?legal filter? of the subsidiarity principle (Chapter III). In this regard, the latter has been connected to the provision of Article 114 TFEU and the agencification process, which, according to the doctrinal point of view, can be regarded as one of the latest concrete expression of the subsidiarity principle, if not even a way of legitimizing such a principle. On the basis of the the relevant case law, together with the specific and unique features of the banking resolution field and the powers the SRB has been entrusted with, conclusions have been drawn about the compatibility of the SRM regulation with the subsidiarity principle, although not traditionally understood. Moreover, the main purpose being also to get a preliminary understanding of the judicial protection?s effectiveness within the SRM, Chapter IV is devoted to identifying and illustrating the issues and challenges to be faced by those subjects which will be affected by resolution decisions. From this perspective, analysis have been carried out having regard to the allocation of competences outlined in the SRM regulation, namely a complex administrative (and therefore judicial) machinery, most of the time involving interrelations between the European and the national level. Finally, Chapter V attempts to summarize the main blocks of the research and to draw general conclusion on the SRM-related topics.
