L'INTERESSE NON PATRIMONIALE DEL CREDITORE NEL RAPPORTO OBBLIGATORIO
Creators: name: FILIPPINI, VALENTINA LUISALBA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2013

description: Non pecuniary interest in obligations and contractual bonds Obligatio est iuris vinculum, quo necessitate adstringimur alicuius rei solvendae secundum nostrae civitatis iura: the bond is configured, in other words, in our Country, as a legal bond rising by reports that people, in their everyday life, establish each other. The bond is, therefore, the result of the natural attitude of persons to create relationships in order to satisfy needs that arise from living in a civil society. Roman law attributes to those relationship a binding force, and believes that the parties are required to observe the agreement, that is called "obligation". Subjects involved in it are defined creditor (the person who wants to meet their own expectations) and the debtor (the person who is available to satisfy the need of creditor). Among the elements that, from a descriptive point of view, be regarded as constituting obligations, particular emphasis is given to the - so called - legal constraint and to the interest focused in it. The notion of "creditor's interest" indicates its expectation, achievable by running the mandatory report, but also the utility which he reaches through the debtor's performance. The interest is therefore an aspiration, an address of the will, an assessment is not necessarily linked to the heritage but also resulting from personal needs and life of the creditor. In 1942, italian law introduced in our legal system a new provision, unknown till that moment: it is the article n. 1174 cc , rule enacted with the purpose of giving practical configuration of the obligatory relationship" (n. 557 ) . The article involved, confirms once for all, the crucial elements that characterize the legal obligation: on the one hand there is the performance, on the other hand the interest of the lender that may have nature also non-pecuniary. The present work has the purpose to discover the pregnance and importance that creditor interest's has in legal relationships and it wants, also, compare italian experience with experiences of other european countries about non pecuniary interests involved in contracts underlying the new orientation of Courts that more and more are oriented to recognize and restore non pecuniary contractual losses.
The metal-insulator transition in disordered solids: How theoretical prejudices influence its characterization. A critical review of analyses of experimental data

description: In a recent experiment, Siegrist et al. [Nature Materials 10, 202 (2011)] investigated the metal-insulator transition (MIT) of GeSb_2Te_4 on increasing annealing temperature. The authors conclude that this material exhibits a discontinuous MIT with a finite minimum metallic conductivity. The striking contrast to reports on other disordered substances motivates the present in-depth study of the influence of the MIT criterion used on the characterization of the MIT. First, we discuss in detail the inherent biases of the various available approaches to locating the MIT. Second, reanalyzing the GeSb_2Te_4 measurements, we show that this material resembles other disordered solids to a large extent: according to a widely-used approach, these data may also be interpreted in terms of a continuous MIT. Checking the justification of the respective fits, however, uncovers inconsistencies in the experimental data. Third, comparing with previous experimental studies of crystalline Si:As, Si:P, Si:B, Ge:Ga, CdSe:In, n-Cd_{0.95}Mn$_{0.05}Se, Cd_{0.95}Mn_{0.05}Te_{0.97}Se_{0.03}:In, disordered Gd, and nano-granular Pt-C, we show that such an inconclusive behavior occurs frequently: the analysis of the logarithmic temperature derivative of the conductivity highlights serious inconsistencies in the original interpretations in terms of a continuous MIT. In part, they are common to all these studies and seem to be generic, in part, they vary from experiment to experiment and may arise from measurement problems. Thus, the question for the character of the MIT of these materials has to be considered as yet open. The challenges now lie in improving the measurement precision and in developing a microscopic theory capable of explaining the seemingly generic features.

description: We analyse the rest-frame UV-to-NIR spectral energy distribution (SED) of Lyman break galaxies (LBGs), star-forming (SF) BzK (sBzK), and UV-selected galaxies at 1.5 < z < 2.5 in the COSMOS, GOODS-N, and GOODS-S fields. Additionally, we complement the multi-wavelength coverage of the galaxies located in the GOODS fields with deep FIR data taken from the GOODS-Herschel project. We find that sBzK galaxies represent the general population of SF galaxies at z ~ 2 better than LBGs. For a given stellar mass, LBGs tend to have bluer optical colours than sBzK and UV-selected galaxies. We find clean PACS individual detections for a subsample of 48 LBGs, 89 sBzK, and 91 UV-selected galaxies, that measure their dust emission directly. Their SFR_total = SFR_UV + SFR_IR cannot be recovered with the dust-correction factors derived with their continuum slope and the IRX-beta relations for local starbursts. This has implications, for example, in the definition of the main sequence (MS) at z ~ 2. PACS-detected galaxies are located above the z ~ 2 MS and thus their star formation is probably driven by starburst. This is in agreement with the shape of their IR SEDs. PACS-detected galaxies with redder UV continuum slope and higher stellar mass are more attenuated. We find that for a given UV continuum slope the dustiest galaxies at higher redshifts are more attenuated and that for a given stellar mass the dustiest galaxies at higher redshifts have stronger FIR emission. This suggests an evolution of their dust properties. However, we do not find significant evolution in the relation between dust attenuation and stellar mass with redshift, at least at z < 2.5. There is a subpopulation of 17, 26, and 27 LBGs, sBzK, and UV-selected galaxies, respectively, that are detected in any of the SPIRE bands. We speculate that SPIRE-detected LBGs are the bridging population between sub-mm galaxies and LBGs.

description: We revisit entropic formulations of the uncertainty principle for an arbitrary pair of positive operator-valued measures (POVM) $A$ and $B$, acting on finite dimensional Hilbert space. Salicrú generalized $(h,ϕ)$-entropies, including Rényi and Tsallis ones among others, are used as uncertainty measures associated with the distribution probabilities corresponding to the outcomes of the observables. We obtain a nontrivial lower bound for the sum of generalized entropies for any pair of entropic functionals, which is valid for both pure and mixed states. The bound depends on the overlap triplet $(c_A,c_B,c_{A,B})$ with $c_A$ (resp. $c_B$) being the overlap between the elements of the POVM $A$ (resp. $B$) and $c_{A,B}$ the overlap between the pair of POVM. Our approach is inspired by that of de Vicente and Sánchez-Ruiz [Phys.\ Rev.\ A \textbf{77}, 042110 (2008)] and consists in a minimization of the entropy sum subject to the Landau-Pollak inequality that links the maximum probabilities of both observables. We solve the constrained optimization problem in a geometrical way and furthermore, when dealing with Rényi or Tsallis entropic formulations of the uncertainty principle, we overcome the Hölder conjugacy constraint imposed on the entropic indices by the Riesz-Thorin theorem. In the case of nondegenerate observables, we show that for given $c_{A,B} > \frac{1}{\sqrt2}$, the bound obtained is optimal; and that, for Rényi entropies, our bound improves Deutsch one, but Maassen-Uffink bound prevails when $c_{A,B} \leq\frac12$. Finally, we illustrate by comparing our bound with known previous results in particular cases of Rényi and Tsallis entropies.

These 16 manifolds are the only ones among the more than half a billion manifolds in the Kreuzer-Skarke list with a non-trivial first fundamental group. We classify the line bundle models on these manifolds, both for SU(5) and SO(10) GUTs, which lead to consistent supersymmetric string vacua and have three chiral families. A total of about 29000 models is found, most of them corresponding to SO(10) GUTs. These models constitute a starting point for detailed heterotic model building on Calabi-Yau manifolds in the Kreuzer-Skarke list.

description: It has been recently pointed out that the excess of the gamma ray spectrum in the Fermi Bubbles at low latitude can be well explained by the annihilation of dark matter particles. The best-fit candidate corresponds to the annihilation of a dark matter with mass of around $62$ GeV into $b \bar{b}$ with the cross section, $σv \simeq 3.3 \times 10^{-26}$ cm$^3$/s, or the annihilation of a dark matter with mass of around $10$ GeV into a tau lepton pair with the cross section, $σv \simeq 5.6 \times 10^{-27}$ cm$^3$/s. We point out that the Higgs portal dark matter models are perfectly compatible with this interpretation of the dark matter annihilation, satisfying other phenomenological constraints. We also show that the parameter region which reproduces the bet-fit values can be partly explored by the future direct dark matter search at the XENON1T.

description: The origin of cellular excitability has not yet been clearly elucidated. It has been proposed that the nonlinear stimulus-response curve of excitable cells, manifesting in all-or-none pulses (action potentials), is based on a phase transition in the cell membrane and is not a purely molecule-based phenomenon. Indeed, typical traces of transitions have already been found in a small number of studies with excitable cells. Further investigations are needed to show whether these findings are of a general nature. In this work, state diagrams of the cell membrane of intact, motile specimens of the ”swimming neuron” Paramecium are measured. Therefore, individual cells were trapped in a microfluidic channel and investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy. The thermo-optical state diagrams exhibited reversible sigmoidal and break-like regimes, which are clear indications for a transition in the cell cortical membranes. This transition had a width of ∼ 10 − 15°C and a midpoint that was located ∼ 4°C below the growth temperature. It can be shifted due to changes in growth temperature or by the addition of an anesthetic (hexanol). These results suggested that the cortical membrane(s) of Paramecia reside in a phase transition regime under physiological growth conditions.
description: Der Ursprung zellulärer Erregbarkeit ist bis heute noch nicht eindeutig geklärt. Es wird vermutet, dass die nichtlineare Reiz-Antwort-Kurve erregbarer Zellen, die sich in Alles-oder-Nichts-Pulsen (Aktionspotentialen) manifestiert, auf einen Phasenübergang in der Zellmembran und nicht auf ein rein molekulares Phänomen zurückzuführen ist. Tatsächlich wurden bereits in wenigen Studien mit erregbaren Zellen typische Spuren von Übergängen gefunden. Ob diese Befunde allgemeiner Natur sind, müssen weitere Ergebnisse zeigen. In dieser Arbeit werden Zustandsdiagramme der Zellmembran intakter, beweglicher Exemplare des ”schwimmenden Neurons” Paramecium gemessen. Dazu wurden einzelne Zellen in einem mikrofluidischen Kanal eingefangen und fluoreszenzspektroskopisch untersucht. Die thermooptischen Zustandsdiagramme zeigten sigmoidale und bruchartige Regime, die klare Hinweise auf einen reversiblen Übergang in den kortikalen Zellmembranen sind. Dieser Übergang hatte eine Breite von ∼ 10 − 15°C und einen Mittelpunkt, der ∼ 4°C unterhalb der Wachstumstemperatur lag. Er kann aufgrund von Änderungen der Wachstumstemperatur oder durch Zugabe eines Anästhetikums (Hexanol) verschoben werden. Diese Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass sich die kortikale(n) Membran(en) von Paramecien unter physiologischen Wachstumsbedingungen im Bereich eines Phasenübergangs befinden.
The SP theory of intelligence: benefits and applications

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)

description: This article describes existing and expected benefits of the "SP theory of intelligence", and some potential applications. The theory aims to simplify and integrate ideas across artificial intelligence, mainstream computing, and human perception and cognition, with information compression as a unifying theme. It combines conceptual simplicity with descriptive and explanatory power across several areas of computing and cognition. In the "SP machine" -- an expression of the SP theory which is currently realized in the form of a computer model -- there is potential for an overall simplification of computing systems, including software. The SP theory promises deeper insights and better solutions in several areas of application including, most notably, unsupervised learning, natural language processing, autonomous robots, computer vision, intelligent databases, software engineering, information compression, medical diagnosis and big data. There is also potential in areas such as the semantic web, bioinformatics, structuring of documents, the detection of computer viruses, data fusion, new kinds of computer, and the development of scientific theories. The theory promises seamless integration of structures and functions within and between different areas of application. The potential value, worldwide, of these benefits and applications is at least $190 billion each year. Further development would be facilitated by the creation of a high-parallel, open-source version of the SP machine, available to researchers everywhere.

Sociolinguistics as a pathway to global citizenship: critically observing 'self' and 'other'
Creators: name: Abe, Sayaka

Publisher: name: Middlebury
Year: 2022
Subjects: Sociolinguistics

description: In this article, we discuss how sociolinguistics can serve as an entryway into conversations about diversity, equity, and social justice, as part of education for global citizenship. Our approach, informed by Critical Language Awareness (CLA) theory, engages students with both unfamiliar and familiar linguistic forms, in order to promote critical reflection on â€˜selfâ€™ and â€˜otherâ€™, a crucial component of global citizenship development in higher education. We draw on our experience teaching crossand intra-linguistic variation in linguistics courses, using a curricular sequence that involves three central concepts: Descriptivism, Indexicality, and Language Ideology. Through this sequence, students become more aware of their implicit biases and learn to argue against pervasive linguistic stereotypes and misconceptions. We reference examples of student work and comments from course evaluations showing how students internalise and apply course learning. This study adds to the growing body of research on how CLA is taught and learned within the higher education curriculum.

description: We present dispersion compensation by a liquid lens (DisCoBALL), which provides tunable group-delay dispersion (GDD) that is high speed, has a large tuning range, and uses off-the-shelf components. GDD compensation is crucial for experiments with ultrashort pulses. With an electrically tunable lens (ETL) at the Fourier plane of a 4 f grating pair pulse shaper, the ETL applies a parabolic phase shift in space and therefore a parabolic phase shift to the laser spectrum, i.e., GDD. The GDD can be tuned with a range greater than 2 x 10^5 fs^2 at a rate of 100 Hz while maintaining stable coupling into a single mode fiber.

description: Compact matrix quantum groups are strongly determined by their intertwiner spaces, due to a result by S.L. Woronowicz. In the case of easy quantum groups, the intertwiner spaces are given by the combinatorics of partitions, see the inital work of T. Banica and R. Speicher. The philosophy is that all quantum algebraic properties of these objects should be visible in their combinatorial data. We show that this is the case for their fusion rules (i.e. for their representation theory). As a byproduct, we obtain a unified approach to the fusion rules of the quantum permutation group $S_N^+$, the free orthogonal quantum group $O_N^+$ as well as the hyperoctahedral quantum group $H_N^+$.

Smooth and singular multisoliton solutions of a modified Camassa-Holm equation with cubic nonlinearity and linear dispersion

description: We develop a direct method for solving a modified Camassa-Holm equation with cubic nonlinearity and linear dispersion under the rapidly decreasing vanishing boundary condition. We obtain a compact parametric representation for the multisoliton solutions and investigate their properties. We show that the introduction of a linear dispersive term exhibits various new features in the structure of solutions. In particular, we find the smooth solitons whose characteristics are different from those of the Camassa-Holm equation, as well as the novel types of singular solitons. A remarkable feature of the soliton solutions is that the underlying structure of the associated tau-functions is the same as that of a model equation for shallow-water waves introduced by Ablowitz {\it et al}(1974 {\it Stud. Appl. Math.} {\bf 53} 249-315). Finally, we demonstrate that the short-wave limit of the soliton solutions recovers the soliton solutions of the short pulse equation which describes the propagation of ultra-short optical pulses in nonlinear media.

description: Directionality is a crucial ingredient in many complex networks in which information, energy or influence are transmitted. In such directed networks, analysing flows (and not only the strength of connections) is crucial to reveal important features of the network that might go undetected if the orientation of connections is ignored. We showcase here a flow-based approach for community detection in networks through the study of the network of the most influential Twitter users during the 2011 riots in England. Firstly, we use directed Markov Stability to extract descriptions of the network at different levels of coarseness in terms of interest communities, i.e., groups of nodes within which flows of information are contained and reinforced. Such interest communities reveal user groupings according to location, profession, employer, and topic. The study of flows also allows us to generate an interest distance, which affords a personalised view of the attention in the network as viewed from the vantage point of any given user. Secondly, we analyse the profiles of incoming and outgoing long-range flows with a combined approach of role-based similarity and the novel relaxed minimum spanning tree algorithm to reveal that the users in the network can be classified into five roles. These flow roles go beyond the standard leader/follower dichotomy and differ from classifications based on regular/structural equivalence. We then show that the interest communities fall into distinct informational organigrams characterised by a different mix of user roles reflecting the quality of dialogue within them. Our generic framework can be used to provide insight into how flows are generated, distributed, preserved and consumed in directed networks.

description: Reacted with methylglyoxal (MGO), murine Aβ(1-40) (mAβ) produced significantly less superoxide anion (O2•–) compared to human Aβ(1-40) (hAβ). The reactions of MGO with mAβ(R13H), hAβ(H13F), Nα-acetyl-l-lysine, and Nα-acetyl-l-arginine implied that the lack of His13 in mAβ prohibits its Lys16 residue from reacting to produce cross-linked reaction products and O2•–. Our results suggest that murine brains are under less oxidative stress than human brains, which may be one of the reasons why rodents do not develop AD-like symptoms, and which provides further insight into a chemical mechanism for the development of AD in humans.

description: We develop a classification of perfectly transmitting resonances occuring in effectively one-dimensional optical media which are decomposable into locally reflection symmetric parts. The local symmetries of the medium are shown to yield piecewise translation-invariant quantities, which are used to distinguish resonances with arbitrary field profile from resonances following the medium symmetries. Focusing on light scattering in aperiodic multilayer structures, we demonstrate this classification for representative setups, providing insight into the origin of perfect transmission. We further show how local symmetries can be utilized for the design of optical devices with perfect transmission at prescribed energies. Providing a link between resonant scattering and local symmetries of the underlying medium, the proposed approach may contribute to the understanding of optical response in complex systems.

description: In principle, the angular anisotropy in the extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGRB) places severe constraints upon putative populations of unresolved gamma-ray point sources. Existing estimates of the EGRB anisotropy have been constructed by excising known point sources, e.g., taken from the First or 2 Year Fermi-LAT Source Catalog (1FGL or 2FGL, respectively) and statistically analyzing the residual gamma-ray sky maps. We perform an independent check of the EGRB anisotropy limits by comparing the values obtained from the 1FGL-masked sky maps to the signal implied by sources that lie below the 1FGL detection threshold in the more sensitive 2FGL and 1FHL (First Fermi-LAT catalog of >10 GeV sources). As such, our analysis provides an internal consistency check of implications for source counts and spectral index distributions of gamma-ray bright active galactic nuclei obtained from Fermi-LAT data. Based on this, we find evidence for substantially larger anisotropies than those previously reported at energies above 5 GeV, where BL Lac objects are likely to provide the bulk of their contribution to the EGRB. This uncertainty in the EGRB anisotropy cautions against using it as an independent constraint for the high-redshift gamma-ray universe. Moreover, this would suggest that contrary to previous claims, smooth extensions of the resolved point-source population may be able to simultaneously explain both the isotropic and anisotropic components of the EGRB.

description: PRIMAGE is a large EU project that aims to support personalized childhood cancer diagnosis and prognosis. The
 goal is to do so predicting the growth of the solid tumour using multiscale in-silico technologies. The
 project proposes an open cloud-based platform to support decision making in the clinical management
 of paediatric cancers. The orchestration of predictive models is in general complex and would require
 a software framework that support and facilitate such task. The present work, proposes the
 development of an updated framework, referred herein as the VPH-HFv3, as a part of the PRIMAGE
 project. This framework, a complete re-writing with respect to the previous versions, aims to
 orchestrate several models, which are in concurrent development, using an architecture as simple as
 possible, easy to maintain and with high reusability. This sort of problem generally requires
 unfeasible execution times. To overcome this problem was developed a strategy of particularisation,
 which maps the upper-scale model results into a smaller number and homogenisation which does the
 inverse way and analysed the accuracy of this approach.

description: We show that the number of types of sequences of tuples of a fixed length can be calculated from the number of 1-types and the length of the sequences. Specifically, if $κ\leq λ$, then $$\sup_{|A| = λ} |S^κ(A)| = (\sup_{|A| = λ} |S^1(A)|)^κ$$ We show that this holds for any abstract elementary class with $λ$ amalgamation, but it is new for first order theories when $κ$ is infinite. No such calculation is possible for nonalgebraic types. We introduce a generalization of nonalgebraic types for which the same upper bound holds.

description: In magnetically ordered systems the breaking of SU(2) symmetry in the thermodynamic limit is associated with the appearance of a special type of low-lying excitations in finite size energy spectra, the so called tower of states (TOS). In the present work we numerically demonstrate that there is a correspondence between the SU(2) tower of states and the lower part of the ground state entanglement spectrum (ES). Using state-of-the-art DMRG calculations, we examine the ES of the 2D antiferromagnetic J1-J2 Heisenberg model on both the triangular and kagomé lattice. At large ferromagnetic J2 the model exhibits a magnetically ordered ground state. Correspondingly, its ES contains a family of low-lying levels that are reminiscent of the energy tower of states. Their behavior (level counting, finite size scaling in the thermodynamic limit) sharply reflects tower of states features, and is characterized in terms of an effective entanglement Hamiltonian that we provide. At large system sizes TOS levels are divided from the rest by an entanglement gap. Our analysis suggests that (TOS) entanglement spectroscopy provides an alternative tool for detecting and characterizing SU(2)-broken phases using DMRG.

description: We present a theoretical study of the spin dynamics of a single electron confined in a quantum dot. Spin dynamics is induced by the interplay of electrical driving and the presence of a spatially disordered magnetic field, the latter being transverse to a homogeneous magnetic field. We focus on the case of strong driving, i.e., when the oscillation amplitude $A$ of the electron's wave packet is comparable to the quantum dot length $L$. We show that electrically driven spin resonance can be induced in this system by subharmonic driving, i.e., if the excitation frequency is an integer fraction (1/2, 1/3, etc) of the Larmor frequency. At strong driving we find that (i) the Rabi frequencies at the subharmonic resonances are comparable to the Rabi frequency at the fundamental resonance, and (ii) at each subharmonic resonance, the Rabi frequency can be maximized by setting the drive strength to an optimal, finite value. Our simple model is applied to describe electrical control of a spin-valley qubit in a weakly disordered carbon nanotube.

description: We construct a "hyperparameter matrix" statistical method for performing the joint analyses of multiple correlated astronomical data sets, in which the weights of data sets are determined by their own statistical properties. This method is a generalization of the hyperparameter method constructed by Lahav et al. (2000) and Hobson, Bridle, & Lahav (2002) which was designed to combine independent data sets. The advantage of our method is to treat correlations between multiple data sets and gives appropriate relevant weights of multiple data sets with mutual correlations. We define a new "element-wise" product, which greatly simplifies the likelihood function with hyperparameter matrix. We rigorously prove the simplified formula of the joint likelihood and show that it recovers the original hyperparameter method in the limit of no covariance between data sets. We then illustrate the method by applying it to a demonstrative toy model of fitting a straight line to two sets of data. We show that the hyperparameter matrix method can detect unaccounted systematic errors or underestimated errors in the data sets. Additionally, the ratio of Bayes' factors provides a distinct indicator of the necessity of including hyperparameters. Our example shows that the likelihood we construct for joint analyses of correlated data sets can be widely applied to many astrophysical systems.

description: The WMAP and Planck observations show that the quadrupole and octopole orientations of the CMB might align with each other. We reveal that the quadrupole--octopole alignment is a natural implication of the primordial power spectrum in an anisotropic spacetime. The primordial power spectrum is presented with a dipolar modulation. We obtain the privileged plane by employing the ``power tensor'' technique. At this plane, there is the maximum correlation between quadrupole and octopole. The probability for the alignment is much larger than what in the isotropic universe. We find that this model would lead to deviations from the statistical isotropy only for low--\(\ell\) multipoles.

description: We study the properties of the cross section for two-gluon production in heavy-light ion collisions derived in our previous paper on the subject in the saturation/Color Glass Condensate framework. Concentrating on the energy and geometry dependence of the corresponding correlation functions we find that the two-gluon correlator is a much slower function of the center-of-mass energy than the one- and two-gluon production cross sections. The geometry dependence of the correlation function leads to stronger azimuthal near- and away-side correlations in the tip-on-tip U+U collisions than in the side-on-side U+U collisions, an exactly opposite behavior from the correlations generated by the elliptic flow of the quark-gluon plasma: a study of azimuthal correlations in the U+U collisions may thus help to disentangle the two sources of correlations. We demonstrate that the cross section for two-gluon production in heavy-light ion collisions contains a power-law infrared (IR) divergence even for fixed produced gluon momenta: while saturation effects in the target regulate some of the power-law IR-divergent terms in the lowest-order expression for the two-gluon correlator, other power-law IR-divergent terms remain, possibly due to absence of saturation effects in the dilute projectile. Finally we rewrite our result for the two-gluon production cross-section in a $k_T$-factorized form, obtaining a new factorized expression involving a convolution of one- and two-gluon Wigner distributions over both the transverse momenta and impact parameters. We show that the two-gluon production cross-section depends on two different types of unintegrated two-gluon Wigner distribution functions.

STUDIO DEL PROFILO CARDIO-VASCOLARE IN PAZIENTI CON ANGIOEDEMA DA CARENZA DI C1 INIBITORE: RELAZIONI TRA IL SISTEMA NERVOSO AUTONOMO E LA VASO-REATTIVITA�

description: Backround: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare autosomal disease resulting from a inherited deficiency or dysfunction of the C1 inhibitor. It is characterized by acute attacks of angioedema that involve skin, upper airway and gastrointestinal tract. Psychological stress is a well recognized trigger for angioedema attacks mediated by bradykinin, a peptide released from cleavage of high molecular weight kininogen (HK) by plasma callicrein. Study aim: In this study we investigated the interaction of sympathetic nervous system and contact system to better understand the relationship between psychological stress and angioedema attacks. Methods: 16 patients with hereditary angioedema during remission and 12 healthy volunteers were studied. ECG and beat-to-beat blood pressure were recorded during rest and 75� head-up tilt. Plasma catecholamines, C1 inhibitor, C4 and cleaved high molecular weight kininogen were assessed. Cardiovascular signals were analyzed by means of spectral analysis of heart rate variability, allowing to extract low and high-frequency components, indexes of respectively sympathetic and vagal modulation. Results: During rest significant differences in systolic blood pressure and noradrenaline levels in HAE patients compared with healthy volunteers were observed. During tilt a significant reduction in low-frequency modulation increase was observed in HAE patients. No change was observed in C1 inhibitor and C4 between rest and tilt in both groups; tilt was associated with a significant increase in cleaved HK as compared to rest in HAE patients and healthy volunteers. Discussion: In HAE patients higher systolic blood pressure and noradrenaline values suggest an increased sympathetic activation in rest. They showed a normal autonomic cardiovascular modulation in rest while a reduction in sympathetic activation was observed during tilt. The increase in the cleavage of HK upon sympathetic activation suggests a link between stress and bradykinin generation.
PERSISTENT DNA DAMAGE AT TELOMERES, CAUSED BY TRF2-MEDIATED DNA REPAIR INHIBITION, TRIGGERS CELLULAR SENESCENCE AND IS ASSOCIATED WITH PRIMATES AGEING

description: The DNA damage response (DDR) coordinates DNA repair events and transiently arrests cell-cycle progression until DNA damage has been removed. If the damage is not resolved, cells can enter an irreversible cell cycle arrest called cellular senescence. In irradiation-induced senescent cells a large fraction of persistent DDR markers are associated with telomeric DNA, both in cultured cells and in in vivo tissues. The aim of my PhD project was to investigate the mechanism underlying this phenomenon. I showed that persistent DDR activation has a causative role for the senescence-associated cell cycle exit and that a double-strand break (DSB) within telomeric repeats is inducing a more protracted DDR activation compared with a non-telomeric one in human cells. The DDR persistency at telomeres is neither dependent on their heterochromatic state nor on TRF2 loss from telomeres during senescence establishment. Rather, TRF2 recruitment next to a DSB, in the absence of telomeric DNA, is sufficient to induce a more protracted site-specific DDR focus and to impair DSB repair in mouse cells. Ageing is associated with accumulation of markers of DDR activation. In terminally differentiated brain neurons from old primates, I observed DDR activation at telomeres that were not critically short. Taken together, these results strongly suggest that TRF2 inhibits DNA repair at broken telomeres, contributing to the accumulation of unrepaired, DDR-positive telomeres during ageing. This can in turn trigger cellular senescence and impair tissue homeostasis providing a mechanism for ageing also in non-proliferating tissues. Finally, I focused my attention on DICER and DROSHA-dependent DNA damage response RNAs (DDRNAs), novel components of the DDR machinery, which have been described to be necessary for DDR activation at DSBs. I showed that RNase A treatment as well as DICER or DROSHA down-regulation impair DDR activation at uncapped telomeres and that DICER and DROSHA may have a role in chromosomal fusions. Furthermore, in cells with dysfunctional telomeres, the inhibition of telomeric DDRNAs using inhibitory oligonucleotide molecules with a complementary sequence can prevent DDR activation and senescent-associated cell cycle arrest. These data indicate that at uncapped telomeres, DDRNAs with telomeric sequences are generated and that they are necessary for DDR activation and chromosomal fusions.
