description: Diese Arbeit wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit der Bibliothek Münstergasse erstellt. Als Forschungsge-genstand wurden die Eruierung der Bedürfnisse von Studierenden sowie ihr Erleben der Bibliothek festgelegt. Mithilfe von innovativen Marktforschungsmethoden erfolgte die Erhebung und deren Ana-lyse schrittweise. Zuerst wurden anhand von qualitativen Interviews die Bedürfnisse und Erlebnisse der Studierenden bezüglich des Dienstleistungsangebotes der Bibliothek erhoben. Die Auswertung in Form von thematischen Kategorien diente als nächstes dazu, je zwei Personas und Customer Experi-ence Journeys zu erstellen. In einem letzten Schritt wurde ein Design Workshop durchgeführt, in wel-chem Mitarbeitende der Bibliothek die Anliegen der Studierenden und mögliche Umsetzungen davon mithilfe der thematischen Kategorien, Personas sowie Customer Experience Journeys diskutierten. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Studierenden vor allem bezüglich Lärm-, Platz- und Lichtverhältnis-sen sowie Online-Zugängen und Raumgestaltung Optimierungsbedarf sehen. In welchem Masse die Bibliothek auf diese Forderungen eingehen kann, wird mithilfe eines im Workshop entwickelten, pra-xisnahen Planes ersichtlich.

description: A small series of dendrimers consisting of a star-shaped triphenylbenzene core unit and bulky lateral groups was synthesised and their mesomorphic properties were investigated via differential scanning calorimetry, polarising optical microscopy and small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS). The dendrimers showed two enantiotropic hexagonal columnar mesophases. The combination of temperature-dependent and fibre-extruded WAXS revealed a helical arrangement in the low-temperature and a zig-zag orientation in the high-temperature mesophase. Furthermore, at the mesophase-to-mesophase transition, the intracolumnar reorganisation and the intercolumnar lattice extension occurred at different time scales, with the latter process being the slower one.

description: Objective: To evaluate the association between decrease in resting heart rate (RHR) and occurrence of composite cardiac clinical outcomes in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients after bisoprolol treatment. Methods: This phase IV, multi-national, single-arm, open-label, non-randomized, observational trial was conducted between October 2011 and July 2015 across 42 hospitals from China, South Korea and Vietnam. Results: Analysis of 866 patients (mean age 63.85 ± 10.35; mean RHR at baseline 75.71 ± 6.87 bpm in intent-to-treat [ITT]; 75.56 ± 6.73 in efficacy analysis [EA] sets) was performed. Patients with lower mean RHR had fewer composite cardiac events and patients with RHR of 69–74 bpm reported significantly higher outcomes than patients with RHR <65 bpm (p = .0449). A significant association with occurrence of the composite cardiac outcome and hospital admission for unstable angina or revascularization was reported in the EA set (regression estimate: 0.03, 95% CI 0.00–0.07, p = .0412) and not in the ITT set for bisoprolol treated CAD patients. Composite cardiac outcomes significantly increased in patients with mean RHR ≥70 bpm compared to patients with mean RHR <70 bpm (p = .0328). Adverse events (AEs) were reported in 206 (23.8%) patients, of whom 102 (11.8%) patients had serious adverse event (SAEs). Among the patients with SAEs, 11 (1.3%) patients died. Treatment related adverse events were only 12 (1.4%). No treatment related SAE happened. Conclusion: The findings showed bisoprolol to be efficacious, in terms of lowering RHR and causing a significant decrease in the occurrence of the composite cardiac outcome, as well as safe in Asian patients with CAD.
Telehealth as a Tool to Transform Pediatric Care: Views from Stakeholders
Creators: name: Jones, Emily

Publisher: name: Mary Ann Liebert
Year: 2023

description: Background and Objectives: The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic generated rapid telehealth expansion. Most prior telehealth studies focus on a single program or health condition, leaving a knowledge gap regarding the most appropriate and effective means of allocating telehealth services and funding. This research seeks to evaluate a wide range of perspectives to inform pediatric telehealth policy and practice.Methods: In 2017, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (Innovation Center) issued a Request for Information to inform the Integrated Care for Kids model. Researchers identified 55 of 186 responses that addressed telehealth and analyzed them based on grounded theory principles overlaid with a constructivist approach to contextualize Medicaid policies, respondent characteristics, and implications for specific populations.Results: Respondents noted several health equity issues that telehealth could help to remedy, including timely care access, specialist shortages, transportation and distance barriers, provider-to-provider communication, and patient and family engagement. Implementation barriers reported by commenters included reimbursement restrictions, licensure issues, and costs of initial infrastructure. Respondents raised savings, care integration, accountability, and increased access to care as potential benefits.Discussion and Conclusions: The pandemic demonstrated that the health system can implement telehealth rapidly, although telehealth cannot be used to provide every aspect of pediatric care such as vaccinations. Respondents highlighted the promise of telehealth, which is heightened if telehealth supports health care transformation rather than replicating how in-office care is currently provided. Telehealth also offers the potential to increase health equity for some populations of pediatric patients.

description: In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and Pd K, LIII, and Cl K-edges shows that Cl can be present in significant amounts in ENCAT™ 30 catalysts and that it can severely retard Pd nanoparticle (NP) development in flowing solvents. We also show that whilst polymeric encapsulation protects the Pd against solvent induced agglomeration of Pd nanoparticles the evidence suggests it does not prevent the formation PdHx through reaction with the aqeous ethanol solvent, and that, as received, ENCAT™ 30 NP catalysts are not, for the most part, comprised of nanoparticulate Pd0 irrespective of the presence of Cl.
Psychosoziale Belastungen und Ressourcen der Mitarbeitenden am Beispiel eines Medienunternehmens

Year: 2018

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Frage nach den grössten psychosozialen Belastungen und Ressourcen der Mitarbeitenden von Radiobe1. Als theoretisches Fundament wird in der Arbeit insbesondere auf das Job-Demands Resources-Modell (Bakker und Demerouti, 2007) zurückgegriffen. In einer ersten Erhebung wurde eine Stichprobe von n=22 quantitativ befragt. Die Mittelwerte der verschiedenen Skalen sowie einige Korrelationen gaben erste Hinweise. Aufbauend darauf wurden drei Experteninterviews mit Mitarbeitenden aus verschiedenen Abteilungen durchgeführt. Dabei ergab sich, dass insbesondere quantitative Anforderungen eine grosse Rolle spielen, sowie dass soziale Ressourcen wie Führungsqualität, Unterstützung bei der Arbeit oder Gemeinschaftsgefühl bei der Bewältigung der Anforderungen die wichtigsten Faktoren darstellen. Zusätzlich erscheint auch der Einfluss auf die eigene Arbeit als bedeutend.
Altri spazi, in controtempo: letture e visioni dalle nuove frontiere della fantascienza
Creators: name: De Matteo, Giovanni
name: Proietti, Salvatore
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Torino
Year: 2019
Subjects: cyberspace; utopias; dystopias; heterotopias; post-human

description: The utopia-dystopia dichotomy, a continuum which may summarize the range of visions (from uncritical positivism to apocalyptic pessimism) vis-à-vis modernity and postmodernity, has been more and more challenged and superseded in the science fiction of the latest decades through narrative constructions variously described as critical utopias and dystopias – akin to Michel Foucault’s notion of heterotopia. Starting with William Gibson’s 1984 Neuromancer, the «other space» par excellence in which the disembodied consciousness of interface cowboys perform their raids in the virtual territories of the new electronic frontier, heterotopias receive growing attention, in manifold variants across literature, film, and television. For a new generation of authors, Gibson’s cyberspace has reformulated interrogations (already explored in Philip K. Dick) on the boundaries between nature and simulation, as well as on the convergence between the human and the artificial, and in recent times readers/viewers have witnessed heterotopias assuming new shapes, across all media. Urban environments range from Gibson’s Bridge trilogy to the eco-collapse of Blade Runner 2049; space-travel settings rework the classic motif of the generation starship in Ursula K. Le Guin’s Paradises Lost while in TV series such as Battlestar Galactica and Farscape, the spaceship is a microcosm and a socio-political testing ground; planetary scenarios become an epic of the future in Robinson’s own Mars trilogy. Along with print fiction, among visual media television, rather than film, seems to provide the deepest sources of interest, from the theme park affected by the Technological Singularity in Westworld to the subversion of history’s reassuring familiarity in the dystopian alternate history of The Man in the High Castle. In the very latest years, the original voices of women writers such as Ann Leckie and Aliette de Bodard are redefining the genre’s imaginary, with their fusion between far-future space opera and a meditation on identity, personhood, gender, memory, and tradition In this essay, in the light as well of the recent theoretical and feminist work on the notion of the posthuman, we intend to explore the inner connections of the genre’s iconography as it resonated with some of the most urgent topics in contemporary scientific and theoretical debates, from climate change to the ethical debates raised by the emergence of artificial intelligences. Our approach, beyond all-too-frequent top-down macronarratives, is meant as a contribution to cultural-literary analysis that does not do away with respect for the genre’s own autonomy.

La visione distopica di Philip K. Dick. Indagine su "The Man in the High Castle": dal romanzo al processo seriale
Creators: name: Amendola, Alfonso
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Torino
Year: 2019
Subjects: dystopia; uchronia; novel; seriality; Philip K. Dick

description: The essay analyzes the series The Man in the High Castle, based on the homonymous novel by Philip K. Dick published in 1962. It is an audiovisual project targetted Amazon TV, substantially faithful to the novel by the American writer. The essay reconstructs the central moments of this “translation” and underlines its great contemporaneity. Also in the series we find the perfection of the dystopian narration of Philip K. Dick and its ability to describe a totalitarian society that exerts its power over citizens through the media, mystification and police.

Translanguaging for biliteracy: Book reading practices in a Chinese bilingual family
Creators: name: Yang, Shuling
name: Kiramba, Lydiah Kananu
name: Wessels, Stephanie
Publisher: name: Taylor & Francis
Year: 2021

description: This is a qualitative case study that explores conversational interactions during book-reading practices in a Mandarin-speaking Chinese American family between the mother and her two young children. The study employs a sociocultural lens and the concept of translanguaging to describe the characteristics of interactional practices during book readings in a bilingual family with young children. Through discourse analysis of the book reading interactions, we found that translanguaging acted as a bridge to comprehension and served as a window to mental imagery that allowed participants to refine their understanding of the texts. We draw implications for teachers working with emergent bilingual children, particularly on the role of heritage languages in promoting biliteracy development in young emerging bilingual children.
Informe del FBI sobre violencia hacia los animales- 2017
Creators: name: Querol, Nuria
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2022
Subjects: Personality, Social and Criminal Psychology

description: El FBI ha publicado el informe sobre más de 5,4 millones de incidentes y 6,290,042 de ilícitos que se presentaron al Sistema de Informes Nacionales de Incidentes (NIBRS) del Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) en 2016, y por primera vez, desde el 2016, el informe anual ha incluido datos sobre maltrato hacia los animales. El FBI actualizó sus políticas del Programa NIBRS de UCR, a partir del 1 de enero de 2016, para incluir específicamente la crueldad hacia los animales como una categoría delictiva específica de modo que las agencias de policía deberían incluirla al presentar las estadísticas delictivas al FBI. La crueldad hacia los animales es un crimen grave no solo contra los animales, sino también contra la sociedad en general. La Dra Querol afirma: “como decimos en el grupo de trabajo de la NSA/FBI protegiendo a las personas protegemos a los animales y, protegiendo a los animales protegemos a las personas”. Gracias al esfuerzo de la NSA y el FBI, el maltrato a animales se incluye desde el 2016 en el Grupo A de delitos graves, contra la sociedad. Al saber dónde están ocurriendo estos crímenes y la demografía de quién está cometiendo estos crímenes, las agencias de policía y las protectoras pueden tomar medidas proactivas para abordar los problemas en áreas con altas tasas de maltrato hacia los animales. Informar al FBI no es obligatorio, pero mientras más información se proporcione al FBI, mejor será capaz de medir la cantidad de delitos en un área específica y permitir una revisión más exhaustiva de la relación entre la crueldad hacia los animales y otros crímenes en la comunidad. Las principales conclusiones del informe de este año: En la comparativa de datos sobre incidentes de maltrato animal en 2016 y 2017, vemos que se ha obtenido una mejora notable pasando de 1126 incidentes en 2016 a 3228 en 2017. Según la tipología delictiva, el 61% de los incidentes son relacionados contra la propiedad, el 23% contra las personas y el 16% contra la sociedad (categoría que incluye el maltrato hacia los animales). Durante el 2017 se han recogido 3228 incidentes de maltrato hacia los animales. Respecto a la edad de los autores de los incidentes de maltrato animal se detectaron 2620 adultos (84%), 116 menores de 18 años (4%) y 379 individuos cuya edad era desconocida (12%).
"L’anno 3000" di Paolo Mantegazza. L’utopia scientifica al servizio del progresso coloniale
Creators: name: Comberiati, Daniele
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Torino
Year: 2019
Subjects: utopia; Mantegazza; Bellamy; time travel; science fiction; socialism

description: The novel L’anno 3000 by Paolo Mantegazza (1897) was linked with an English text translated into Italy in 1890, Looking Backward: 2000-1887 by Edward Bellamy. It was a text that at the time had an incredible success, and which was soon translated into several languages. In Bellamy’s book the travel is exclusively temporal, with a great attention from the author to the verisimilitude, since the protagonist, asleep through hypnosis, awakens in his own city several decades later, showing the differences with respect to his “normal” life. The novel by Mantegazza is different and the pretext of time travel, compared to Bellamy, is less credible: a couple, to celebrate their “fruitful marriage” five years after the “marriage of love”, decides to take a trip through Europe and Asia to Andropolis, a giant megalopolis at the foot of the Himalayas. The trip is an opportunity to present to the reader the different aspects of the cities visited, according to a rigid and rather common scheme that sees in the classics of utopian literature the major antecedents, from Tommaso Campanella to Thomas More passing through Jonathan Swift, especially with regard to employment irony. Each crossed city is analyzed according to one or more utopian aspects, obviously following the scientific suggestions of the author. In opposition to the socialist utopia of Bellamy, inspired by the Marxist theories, Mantegazza proposes an operation sometimes parodistic where the optimism of the colleague is constantly challenged. The only element that, according to the author, could lead humanity to a real improvement of their living conditions is blind trust in progress and in science, through all its forms, in particular demographic control, pharmacology, and its applications to the conception and genetics.

description: The combination of a compact storage ring and a laser-plasma accelerator (LPA) can serve as the basis for future compact light sources. One challenge is the large momentum spread (~ 2%) of the electron beams delivered by the LPA. To overcome this challenge, a very large acceptance compact storage ring (VLA-cSR) was designed as part of the compact STorage ring for Accelerator Research and Technology (cSTART) project. The project will be realized at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT, Germany). Initially, the Ferninfrarot Linac- Und Test-Experiment (FLUTE), a source of ultra-short bunches, will serve as an injector for the VLA-cSR to benchmark and emulate LWFA-like beams. In a second stage a laser-plasma accelerator will be used as an injector, which is being developed as part of the ATHENA project in collaboration with DESY and the Helmholtz Institute Jena (HIJ). The small facility footprint, the large-momentum spread bunches with charges from 1 pC to 1 nC and lengths from few fs to few ps pose challenges for the lattice design, RF system and beam diagnostics. This contribution summarizes the latest results on these challenges.
Pietra, ferro, fuoco, ombra: città nere da Magdeburg a Los(t) Angeles
Creators: name: Fattori, Adolfo
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Torino
Year: 2019
Subjects: science fiction; heterotopy; dystopia; modernity; identity

description: Both utopian and dystopian cities and societies are projects and/or prophecies of Modernity. The three great “classic” utopias were written – indeed – between 1516 (Thomas More) and 1627 (Francis Bacon), while the first modern state was in fieri in France with King Louis XIV and virtually in the same historic period of the “Thirty Years War”. After that period, approaching our age, we can find only dystopias, both in history and in fiction. In fact, even if they had not any fictional intentions, the three classic utopias have a narrative structure, and this feature joins them to recent dystopias, that are explicitly fictional. It seems difficult to try fictional works that really deal about heterotopias. It is possible only read of masked dystopias. Perhaps we have only some heterotopic stretches or hints hidden in novels like Alan D. Altieri’s Magdeburg (the convent where the hero of the novel shelters at the end of his story), or Philip K. Dick’s Time Out of Joint (the fictitious “Old City” in which Ragle Gumm, the protagonist, has decided to live, unaware of his true biography).

The dendrimers showed two enantiotropic hexagonal columnar mesophases.

Furthermore, at the mesophase-to-mesophase transition, the intracolumnar reorganisation and the intercolumnar lattice extension occurred at different time scales, with the latter process being the slower one.

Qualitätsvergleiche mittels Qualitätsindikatoren sind ein bewährtes Verfahren im Qualitätsmanagement.

Ziel der Arbeit:
Im Auftrag des Ausschusses Rettungswesen der Bundesländer erarbeitete und konsentierte eine Arbeitsgruppe (AG) Qualitätsindikatoren für ein länderübergreifendes Benchmarking im deutschen Rettungsdienst.

Material und Methoden:
Ausgehend von übergeordneten Qualitätszielen trug die AG Indikatorkandidaten zusammen, welche in einem iterativen Gruppenprozess anhand von systematischen Gütebewertungen nach der QUALIFY-Methode verfeinert und selektioniert wurden. Im Anschluss fand eine Konsentierung durch die AG statt.

Ergebnisse:
Neunzig Indikatorkandidaten wurden erstellt, diskutiert und bewertet, wovon 22 Kandidaten vertieft ausgearbeitet wurden. Zwanzig Indikatoren erreichten im Konsensusverfahren die notwendige Zustimmung. Nach weiteren Ausarbeitungen zur praktischen Umsetzung des Benchmarkings einschließlich Rechen- und Operationalisierungsregeln erfolgte eine Überarbeitung und Aktualisierung der Indikatoren gefolgt von einer Neukonsentierung, wobei ein Element in 6 spezifischere Indikatoren aufgesplittet wurde. Die AG schlägt nunmehr einen konsentierten Katalog von 25 Qualitätsindikatoren für den länderübergreifenden Qualitätsvergleich in der Notfallrettung (inklusive Beitrag der Leitstelle) vor.

Diskussion:
Erstmals stehen länderübergreifend konsentierte Qualitätsindikatoren für den Rettungsdienst in der Bundesrepublik zur Verfügung, die sich jedoch für die länderübergreifende Verwendung noch bewähren müssen. Die organisatorischen Voraussetzungen für eine flächendeckende Umsetzung müssen vielerorts noch geschaffen werden.

description: Guided by heritage language and translanguaging theory, this ethnographic case study explores how a young second-generation Chinese American student used Mandopop lyrics to enhance her heritage language learning at home. Over six months, the mother, also the researcher collected 61 audio recordings of the student’s readings and singing of Mandopop, as well as translingual conversations between them. Supplemented with the researcher’s field notes, the analysis revealed significant improvements in the student’s pronunciation, Mandarin word recognition, oral language skills, and vocabulary. These improvements subsequently increased her oral translingual practices. Additionally, discussions about Mandopop lyrics enhanced the student's higher-level thinking and understanding of her heritage culture. Overall, Mandopop lyrics effectively promote the student’s bilingual and biliteracy development. This study underscores the role of Mandopop lyrics in incorporating deep cultural elements, fostering bilingualism, and enhancing biliteracy. By engaging with Mandopop, the student connects with her heritage culture and improves her linguistic abilities in a meaningful and enjoyable way, highlighting the potential of music as a valuable tool in heritage language education.
Mondi dentro mondi. Eterotopie e iperoggetti nella narrativa di Kim Stanley Robinson
Creators: name: Didino, Gianluca
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Torino
Year: 2019
Subjects: heterotopia; hyperobjects; cli-fi; global warming; spaceship earth

description: This paper intends to position the work of Kim Stanley Robinson in a philosophical tradition that combines ecologism and science fiction, specifically in relation to the concepts of “heterotopia” and “hyperobjects”. The first half of this essay retraces the history of this tradition, moving from Foucault and back to the 19th century sources of the concept of heterotopia/heterotopy, through the utopian ecologism of the 1960s and up to the rediscover of the idea of future among the accelerationist and Speculative Realist movements. It also introduces the idea of hyperobject as formulated by Timothy Morton. The second part of the essay focuses on the literary figure of Kim Stanley Robinson, placing his work in the context of the postmodern novel and the contemporary science fiction landscape, outlining the connections between his work and the work of other ecologically engaged authors and its importance in an age of global warming. Finally, it discusses the presence of both heterotopias and hyperobjects in three of Robinson’s major works, the Mars Trilogy, Aurora and New York 2140.

title: West coast wildfires and transported pollution: How did the 2020 wildfires affect air quality in regions of the United States?
Creators: name: Albores, Isabel Stedman
Publisher: name: University Corporation For Atmospheric Research (UCAR)
Year: 2021

description: Fires impact atmospheric composition through the emissions of gases and aerosols, affecting air quality close to the location of fires, as well as in areas downwind through transported pollution. The wildfire season in the Western United States (U.S.) was anomalously large in 2020, with some areas emitting over 500% of the average 2001–2019 emissions of carbon monoxide (CO). We used the Community Atmosphere Model version 6 with Chemistry (CAM6-chem), a component of the Community Earth System Model version 2 (CESM2), to investigate how the 2020 fires in the Western U.S. affected air quality locally as well as in the surrounding regions that received transported pollution. We conducted simulations with and without fire emissions over the Western U.S. (32.5–49 N, 115–125 W) in July–December 2020 and compared results to determine average changes in concentration across the country. Between the simulations, the average differences in concentration of black carbon aerosols (BC), fine particulate matter (PM2.5), CO, and ozone (O3) over the U.S. were 0.0295 ppb, 1.597 μg/m3, 20.569 ppb, and 0.8356 ppb, respectively. Health-relevant O3 exhibited substantial impacts from transportation of fire pollution to the Eastern U.S., with up to 6.259 ppb increases in daily average O3 concentration at some locations. Overall, the 2020 wildfires in the Western U.S. had significant air quality repercussions, suggesting the need for attention to potential health impacts, especially since these extreme events are likely to worsen in future years as climate change is predicted to increase wildfire activity.
Note per un'eterotopologia del punk cibernetico

description: Is there a relation between Cyberpunk Science- Fiction and the Foucaultian notion of eterotopy? In this paper, we will try to examine Cyberpunk as both literature and counter-cultural phenomenon stemming from the incounter of punk attitude and cyberculture, through the lense of eterotopology, in order to argue that Cyberpunk can be interpreted as a literary exploration of the kind of eterotopies that our society produces and consumes.

description: Mountain ecosystems will be strongly impacted by climate change, yet little is known of extant biodiversity in high-elevation lakes, particularly in North America. In this study, we sampled the littoral zone of six alpine and subalpine lakes in Grand Teton National Park (GRTE), Wyoming, to characterise invertebrate diversity and environmental variation in these climate change-threatened ecosystems. Overall, we collected 19 aquatic invertebrate taxa, and found that each lake harboured a unique assemblage of invertebrates despite close geographic proximity in some instances (e.g. less than 5 km). The results of this study complement previous efforts focused on macroinvertebrate diversity of streams in the Teton Range, highlighting much lower diversity in montane lakes vs nearby streams. Taken together, the two studies establish an important baseline understanding of mountain freshwater biodiversity in GRTE. With rapidly changing hydrologic inputs to mountain lakes driven primarily by the recession of alpine glaciers, these results may help target aquatic invertebrates to monitor as climate change affects the region. Moreover, these data clarify habitat factors, both biotic and abiotic, that influence high-elevation lake assemblages of the Teton Range.
Dopo l’utopia. Ipotesi sul cyborg neoliberista a partire dalla serie tv "Black Mirror"
Creators: name: Bergamaschi, Matteo
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Torino
Year: 2019
Subjects: Black mirror; utopia; cyborg; Haraway; capitalism

description: In modern era science and technology represent one of the most important resources for utopian theory, in order to emancipate human beings. At the same time, both literature and media show the possibility of a dystopian reversal, a sort of “perversion”, of technological and scientific projects. The essay intends to consider the issue starting from the tv serie Black Mirror (in particular the first season), in dialogue with the works of Foucault and the cyborg studies of Caronia and Haraway. In this sense, the dystopian transformation of new technologies is deeply linked to techno-nihilistc capitalism (Magatti). It is therefore through the last figure assumed by late capitalism that is possible to understand the dystopian dynamic that new technologies are taking in our imaginary.

Il fascino indiscreto del potere. Mondi regressivi e sopravvivenze utopiche
Creators: name: Maestrutti, Marina

Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Torino
Year: 2019
Subjects: power; speculative fiction; body; feminism; empowerment

description: This paper proposes to analyse, within the recent literary and cinematographic landscape, two examples that are particularly pertinent in placing the role of power as the fundamental driver of social and human dynamics. Rather than in the form of science fiction, the narrative is more a speculative fiction. Both the literary works in question in this article, The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood published in 1985 (the television series is 2017), and Naomi Alderman’s novel, The Power of 2016, clearly take a position in the feminist debate by reducing the prevailing technoscientific dimension in twentieth century dystopia, to deepen the utopian- dystopic dimension of the exercise of power over the body and of the body. If Atwood, inheriting the classic critique of twentieth century dystopias, warns against the illiberal outcomes inherent in contemporary societies; the second author seems rather to propose a shock therapy that essentially aims to provoke a reaction of “repugnance” towards the exercise of “naked” power, simply based on force and violence. Both, however, allow in their “critical utopias” for the possibility of empowerment for women (and men).

description: Recently, a few pragmatic and privacy protecting systems for authentication in multiple systems have been designed. The most prominent examples include Pseudonymous Signatures for German personal identity cards and Anonymous Attestation. The main properties are that a user can authenticate himself with a single private key (stored on a smart card), but nevertheless the user’s IDs in different systems are unlinkable. We develop a solution which enables a user to achieve the above-mentioned goals while using more than one personal device, each holding a single secret key, but different for each device. Our solution is privacy preserving: it will remain hidden for the service system which device is used. Nevertheless, if a device gets stolen, lost or compromised, the user can revoke it (leaving his other devices intact). In particular, in this way we create a strong authentication framework for cloud users, where the cloud does not learn indirectly personal data. Our solution is based on a novel cryptographic primitive, called Pseudonymous Public Key Group Signature.
L’utopia egoista nei film di David Lynch: una ribellione contro i limiti della realtà
Creators: name: Gineprini, Lorenzo
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Torino
Year: 2019
Subjects: dream; selfish utopia; anguish; alter ego; subject

description: The present paper aims to reveal how the subject of utopia is dealt with by the film director David Lynch, with a particular focus on his works Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive. Fred and Diane, the protagonists of the two movies, in a moment of deep anguish and without seeing any escape from their situation, build, by means of the dream, an alternative world. This utopian creation both criticizes the objective limits of reality and shows alternative paths within it. Through the dream, the two characters not only fantasize a different reality closer to their aspirations and desires (a creation which reminds Bloch’s daydream and Bachelard’s rêverie), but they also create an alternative identity. This alter ego is very far from the typical embodiment of the unconscious evil sides of personality, as theorized for example by Otto Rank in his work The Doppelgänger; instead, it is the realization of all the possibilities which the characters could not, or were not able to, actualize. As the creations of new world by science-fiction literature and cinematography, the dreamworlds of Lynch movies, shaped by the character in an act of rebellion against an alienating reality, open new possibilities of existence as well as meaning.

Doris Lessing oltre il muro. Catastrofe e trascendenza in "Memorie di una sopravvissuta"
Creators: name: Tirino, Mario
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Torino
Year: 2019
Subjects: dystopian narratives; apocalypse; Doris Lessing; mediology of literature

description: Memoirs of a survivor is one of Doris Lessing’s most complex and experimental novels. In this essay we analyze the evolution of the narrative model defined as “crisis and transcendence” (Kuns 1980). In particular, the writings of Doris Lessing enters into connection with Ferdinand Tönnies’ sociology of the community and Jacques Ellul’s philosophy of technology. From a sociocultural perspective, this paper tries to highlight the major value of this novel: Lessing manages to push the dystopian narration beyond its limits, to change the trajectory towards an etheropia (Foucault 1967), which passes through the radical challenge of Western epistemology and culture.
