description: Background. Although a host of studies have now examined the relationship between quality of life (QoL) and non-seasonal depression, few have measured QoL in seasonal affective disorder (SAD). We report here on results from the Can-SAD trial, which assessed the impact of treatment with either antidepressant medication or light therapy upon QoL in patients diagnosed with SAD. Method. This Canadian double-blind, multicentre, randomized controlled trial included 96 patients who met strict diagnostic criteria for SAD. Eligible patients were randomized to 8 weeks of treatment with either: (1) 10000 lux light treatment and a placebo capsule or (2) 100 lux light treatment (placebo light) and 20 mg fluoxetine. QoL was measured with the Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (Q-LES-Q) and the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Short-Form General Health Survey (SF-20) at baseline and 8 weeks. Results. Both intervention groups showed significant improvement in QoL over time with no significant differences being detected by treatment condition. Q-LES-Q scores increased significantly in seven of eight domains, with the average scores rising from 48.0 (S.D. = 10.7) at baseline to 69.1 (S.D. = 15.6) at week 8. Treatment-related improvement in QoL was strongly associated with improvement in depression symptoms. Discussion. Patients with SAD report markedly impaired QoL during the winter months. Treatment with light therapy or antidepressant medication is associated with equivalent marked improvement in perceived QoL. Studies of treatment interventions for SAD should routinely include broader indices of patient outcome, such as the assessment of psychosocial functioning or life quality.

Identifying and capturing energy savings in an integral motor-drive system
Creators: name: Motamed Ektesabi, Mehran

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Optimising industrial motor driven applications, when coupled with best practice motor management, can deliver more than 57 energy savings. The need for variable speed drives and their advantages are very well known, but unfortunately, the integration of the knowledge of efficient electrical motors and advantages of power electronics engineering is not well practiced by industries. It has also been observed that further saving can be achieved by integration of efficient systems. In this paper, a compact integral motor-drive unit built to operate in arduous industrial environments with optimised power consumption and best practice motor management under different load conditions is proposed. Reduction of the losses in the system provides higher efficiency and further savings to overcome heat without requirement of any additional cooling system. The critical issues such as space limitations within the existing spatial dimensions of motor, management of heat transfer from the motor to the sensitive drive control unit, management of vibration transfer to the sensitive drive control unit, management of electromagnetic interference within the unit and externally, management of other environmental effects on the sensitive drive control unit have been considered and discussed in this paper.

An empirical analysis of efficiency in the Italian water service
Creators: name: GIOLITTI, Anna
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2015

description: The following empirical work examines the impact of a potential restructuring of the Italian water industry, considering a sample of 37 companies and 22 contiguous hypothetical mergers providing water in Italy from 2005 to 2009. With particular attention to the water industry cost efficiency is analyzed by using a parametric methodology: a Translog cost function has been estimated through the SURE model, in order to evaluate the behaviour of returns to scale. Small companies seem to benefit of economies of scale, while the biggest operators encounter diseconomies of scale. Focusing thus on a hypothetical consolidation of the sector, for a sample of 22 contiguous mergers, we apply the not-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in Bogetoft and Wang (2005), corrected for the bias through bootstrapping, to examine the potential efficiency gains from mergers. By decomposing the merger gains into a technical effect, a harmony effect and a scale effect, the results show ? on average - high efficiency improvement potentials and relevant scale economies for small mergers. The lowest size to have diseconomies of scale is almost similar in the two applications (45930 users for DEA-VRS bias-corrected model, 37000 users for the Translog cost function estimate for 37 Italian water companies).

description: In der postmarxistischen politischen Philosophie wird die Veränderung gegenüber der Verstetigung analytisch und normativ bevorzugt. Deshalbleistet die postmarxistische Theorie keine realistische Analyse und normativ-differenzierende Bewertung von politischen Institutionen, insbesondere des Rechts. Der Beitrag liefert einen Ansatz, um diese Lücke zu schließen, indem er der Abblendung von institutionellen Fragen mit einer neuen postfundamentalistischen Institutionentheorie begegnet. Diese Theorie basiert auf dem Freiheitsbegriff der Kritik, der im Anschluss an Foucault entwickelt wird und zeigt, dass kritischer Subjektivität durch die Institutionalisierung von freiheitlichen Subjektivierungsregimen bedingt ist. Dieser Freiheitsbegriff korrigiert den avanciertesten Ansatz der postmarxistischen Rechtstheorie, Menkes Rechtskritik. Deren Stärke ist es,die liberal entpolitisierende Subjektivierung des Rechts zu kritisieren, doch Menkes Vorschlag einer radikalen Politisierung ist paternalistisch. Mit Foucault lässt sich hingegen ein Recht denken, das Subjektivierung kritisiert und dennoch nicht paternalistisch ist, weil es die Subjekte zur Kritik der Institutionen befähigt.

Creators: name: DALMASSO, ANNA CATERINA

description: Il corpo � lo schermo. La filosofia del visuale di Merleau-Ponty

Per Merleau-Ponty, l?esigenza di ripensare la razionalit� contemporanea al di l� del dualismo di soggetto-oggetto implica e si intreccia con la questione dello sguardo, inteso non come punto in cui si origina una visione del mondo, ma come evento nel quale il soggetto e il mondo si generano in un movimento reciproco di co-naissance.
Il visibile, e, pi� specificamente, quel tipo particolare di visibile che � l?immagine, � pensato come uno snodo decisivo, come punto in cui ne va della razionalit� e dell?Essere, ed � compreso nella sua storicit� propria, in virt� della sua apparizione fenomenica e situata, ma anche in quanto esso costitutivamente implica un risvolto di invisibile o orizzonte di latenza. Il vedere � cos� situato da Merleau-Ponty in quel corpo i cui occhi vedono ed il rapporto tra corpo e immagine � compreso nella sua trama storica e processuale, che si allarga fino ad includere le mutazioni antropologiche ed epistemiche che possiamo ritrovare all?opera nel nostro rapporto percettivo con il mondo e che in particolar modo si trovano inscritte nel fenomeno dell?espressione artistica.
Considerando il soggetto come vedente che non si trova semplicemente nel visibile ma, che ne �, il filosofo viene cos� a delineare una reversibilit� della visione ed una co-implicazione di senso e sensibile, le cui conseguenze teoriche toccano in modo pregnante la nostra comprensione dell?universo visuale e del regime scopico contemporaneo, trovandosi in una significativa convergenza con le istanze proprie della svolta iconica che ha investito gli studi sull?immagine, tanto in ambito anglosassone quanto nel contesto europeo.
A partire da alcuni nodi decisivi ? tra cui immagine, medium, tecnica, opera d?arte, aptico ? ed in particolare attraverso il riferimento al cinema e alla nozione di ?schermo?, il presente lavoro si propone di caratterizzare il pensiero merleau-pontiano del visuale, da un lato, nel tentativo di ricostruirne la traiettoria rispetto alle fonti ed alle diverse fasi della sua riflessione filosofica, dall?altro, con l?intento di individuare l?impatto generato dal pensiero di Merleau-Ponty in altri campi disciplinari, al fine di metterne cos� in rilievo l?interesse per una riflessione che si rivolga all?immagine ed al visuale oggi.

description: The present work studies the professional expectations of male and female university students by focusing on gender differences and examining the impact of previous educational choices and parents’ socio-economic background. A questionnaire filled out by newly-enrolled university students (n = 1979; 1214F) included scales on desired professional fields, preferred characteristics and negative aspects of a future profession, salary expectations. Differences linked to gender stereotypes and consistent with educational choices were hypothesized; in addition, we expected a differential influence of mother/father professional prestige on sons/daughters professional expectations. Main results show that male students privilege technical and sports/military areas of interest, whereas female students favor socio-psycho-educational, humanistic-literary, health and social care areas. Girls think it is important to find a job in line with their personal interests and studies, whereas boys have a more instrumental view of their future job. Gender differences are more contained as regards negative aspects, especially effort and precarious work, while salary expectations differ widely. The father professional prestige exerts a greater influence than the mother ones, whose influence is moderate and limited to the daughters. The effects of the traditional gender roles still persist, and they continue to influence occupational expectations and contribute to limit the gap reduction between men and women in the labor market.

Keywords: professional expectations, educational choices, gender inequality, gender role.

The Diffusion of New Collaborative Approaches in Technology Intensive Contexts: Literature Analysis and Empirical Evidences on Virtual and Extended Enterprise Models
Creators: name: LAURO, Vincenzo
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2011

description: In the first essay I reviewed the literature on these two models in a systematic way considering contributes published on ISI certificated journals. The review allowed understanding of the main literature gaps. In particular, a lack of empirical studies testing the theoretical evidences in potential real cases of virtual and extended enterprise clearly emerged.
It is to partially fill these gaps that the second and third essays have been conceived. The second essay focuses on a network of SMEs. It aims at analyse the virtualisation potential of this network through a questionnaire survey.
The third essay investigates the extended enterprise concept in the aerospace supply system. A single case study analysis has been conducted on the Airbus A380 case.

description: This text provides on reflection on the effects of experience of female cancer in the emotional sphere and in the gender relations of 36 women of South Italy. The research aimed discussing the role of medicine as a social practice that imposes the domination of traditional representations in which female beauty is equivalent to the physical integrity and full functioning of specific attributes sexed (uterus and breast). It is an analysis particularly focusing on the transformations of perception of body as Körper and the emotions which, cross-sectionally, constitutes the self-perception of Leib.

The survey describes how language of medicine and power of male representations performs the subjectivities of female patients during the cancer-therapy delegitimizing their perceptions about own bodies and own sexuality

Keywords: female cancers, emotions, representations, male domination.

EFFETTO PROTETTIVO DI GHRELINA SUL DANNO DA STRESS OSSIDATIVO NEGLI OSTEOBLASTI
Creators: name: DIECI, ELISA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2014

description: Increasing evidence suggests a role for oxidative stress in age-related decrease in osteoblast number and function, leading to the development of osteoporosis.
In this study, we investigated the effects of ghrelin on tert-butyl-hydroperoxide (t-BHP)-induced oxidative damage in MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells, as well as the role of the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R) involved in such activity. MTT assay showed that t-BHP treatment resulted in decreased cell viability in a concentration and time dependent manner. Under 250 ?M t-BHP treatment, MC3T3-E1 cells displayed significant loss of viability and dramatic morphological changes characterized by cell shrinkage and typical apoptotic alterations such as chromatin condensation. MC3T3-E1 cells pretreated with ghrelin (10-9 M) and cultured with t-BHP (250 ?M) for 3h showed increased viability and reduced apoptosis as shown by MTT assay and Hoechst-33258 staining. Furthermore, ghrelin prevented t-BHP-induced osteoblastic dysfunction and changes in the cytoskeleton organization evidenced by the staining of the actin fibers with Phalloidin-FITC by reducing reactive oxygen species generation.
Cell treatment with the GHS-R1a agonist, EP1572 (10-7-10-11 M), had no effect against t-BHP-induced cytotoxicity and pretreatment with the selective GHS-R1a antagonist, D-Lys3-GHRP-6 (10-7 M), failed to remove ghrelin (10-9 M)-protective effects against oxidative injury, indicating that GHS-R1a is not involved in such ghrelin activity. Accordingly, unacylated ghrelin (DAG), not binding GHS-R1a, displays the same protective actions of ghrelin against t-BHP-induced cytotoxicity. Consistently with these observations, Ghrelin has been previously shown to activate different intracellular pathways including PI3K/Akt via a specific ghrelin/DAG binding site, that is not GHS-R1a.
Furthermore, cell treatment with a specific inhibitor of PI3K/Akt pathway, (Ly294002, 10?M) reduced the protective effect of ghrelin against t-BHP-induced oxidative damage.
This observation indicates that ghrelin confers protection against t-BHP-induced oxidative damage via a PI3K/Akt dependent pathway. Akt activation controls the cell survival through phosphorylation of downstream targets such as protein kinase GSK-3b. Inactivation of GSK-3b results in traslocation of b-catenin to the nucleus and nuclear b-catenin is known to inhibit apoptosis. In this study we have shown that ghrelin increased GSK-3b phosphorylation and b-catenin accumulation measured by Western Blot primary in osteoblasts obtained from rat calvary cells (rOB). These findings suggest that ghrelin can function as an antioxidant compound on osteoblasts and may have therapeutic potential to promote bone formation and reduce bone loss associated with aging.

description: Polymer based microfluidic devices have an important potential use in BioMEMs applications due to the low cost and biocompatibility. However, sealing the devices hermetically without blocking the channels, altering their dimensions or changing the surface properties is a challenging issue in their fabrication. In this paper a microwavebased sealing technique using a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) substrate and conductive polymer (polyaniline) is presented. The developed novel bonding technique has achieved precise, well-controlled and selective heating, which causes localized melting of the polymer substrates. At the joint interface, patterned polyaniline features absorb electromagnetic radiation and convert it into heat, which facilitates the microwave bonding of two PMMA substrates. This new approach can easily seal microfluidic devices with micron-sized channels without blocking or destroying the integrity of the channel. Microfluidic channels of 400 μm and 200 μm wide were sealed using a microwave power of 300 Watts, in less than 20 seconds. The microfluidic channel fabrication techniques, polyaniline patterning method at the interface and bonding evaluation such as sample cross section and leak test are discussed. The dielectric properties of polyaniline and PMMA at 2.45 GHz frequency are also evaluated by using the open probe technique, which shows PMMA is essentially transparent to microwave energy.

description: It is well known that the literary history of Latin America and its canon has been/is written by a patriarchal Eurocentric society that controls what constitutes national literature. It is also established that (colonial/contemporary) Latin American subjects in the periphery of the urban republic of letters are not included due to their gender (women), race and ethnic origin (Indigenous, mestizo, African-descent) or the expectation that women write within the boundaries of certain textual genres.
I want to learn about digital tools and resources to address the production and networking of female communities and make visible their work, efforts, writings, and publishing paths in the two following contexts: (i) women's voices dispersed in the colonial archives of Latin America (1500-1799), and (ii) contemporary Latin American women who write speculative fiction (sci-fi, horror literature, dark fantasy), a genre expected to be written, published and controlled by men. Could we assign a gender to the writer of a text?

My project considers two major areas of research using digital tools and resources:
(a) building maps of women's networks such as those in BIESES (networks early modern Spanish women authors, visualization created with VISONE and GELPHI): https://www.bieses.net
(b) To analyze and compare texts written by male and female writers using visualization tools (such as VOYANT: https://voyant-tools.org/) This step intends to work with extensive texts (10,000+ words) within the same genre or topic.

Color in context and spatial color computation
Creators: name: GADIA, DAVIDE
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2007

description: The purpose of this dissertation is to contribute in the field of spatial color computation models.We begin introducing an overview about different approaches in the definitionof computational models of color in digital imaging. In particular, we present a recent accurate mathematical definition of the Retinex algorithm, that lead to the definition of a new computational model called Random Spray Retinex (RSR). We then introduce the tone mapping problem, discussing the need for color computation in the implementation of a perceptual correct computational model. At this aim we will present the HDR Retinex algorithm, that addresses tone mappingand color constancy at the same time. In the end, we present some experiments analyzing the influence of HDR Retinex spatial color computation on tristimulus colors obtained using different Color Matching Functions (CMFs) on spectral luminance distribution generated by a photometric raytracer.

description: Hickson compact groups (HCGs) constitute an interesting extreme in the range of environments in which galaxies are located, as the space density of galaxies in these small groups are otherwise only found in the centres of much larger clusters. The work presented here uses Lick indices to make a comparison of ages and chemical compositions of galaxies in HCGs with those in other environments (clusters, loose groups and the field). The metallicity and relative abundance of `α-elements' show strong correlations with galaxy age and central velocity dispersion, with similar trends found in all environments. However, we show that the previously reported correlation between α-element abundance ratios and velocity dispersion disappears when a full account is taken of the abundance ratio pattern in the calibration stars. This correlation is thus found to be an artefact of incomplete calibration to the Lick system. Variations are seen in the ranges and average values of age, metallicity and α-element abundance ratios for galaxies in different environments. Age distributions support the hierarchical formation prediction that field galaxies are on average younger than their cluster counterparts. However, the ages of HCG galaxies are shown to be more similar to those of cluster galaxies than those in the field, contrary to the expectations of current hierarchical models. A trend for lower velocity dispersion galaxies to be younger was also seen. This is again inconsistent with hierarchical collapse models, but is qualitatively consistent with the latest N-body smoothed particle hydrodynamics models based on monolithic collapse in which star formation continues for many Gyr in low-mass haloes.

BIO-WRITINGS.The Body and the Text in Marcel Duchamp and William Seward Burroughs
Creators: name: ANTONIANI, Riccardo
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2011

description: Nella Letteratura Europea ed Americana del XX secolo, � possibile rintracciare una serie di autori per cui la corporalit� ha giocato un ruolo essenziale nell?organizzazione dell?opera e nei quali la fisicit� ha contribuito alla genesi di forme narrative sperimentali destinate a mutare la morfologia e la sintassi del testo stesso. Prendendo in esame Marcel Duchamp e William Seward Burroughs, ho organizzato il mio lavoro lungo un contrappunto tra evento biografico e bibliografico prendendo ad esempio gli studi di Roger Schattuk e i criteri biografici che Marcel Schwob illustr� nelle celebri Vite immaginarie. Per quanto riguarda Duchamp, ho messo in evidenza come la passione per gli scacchi e una sete di libert� abbiano giocato un ruolo essenziale nella redazione delle Notes grazie alle quali cre� il poema de La mari�e mise � nu par ses c�libataires,m�me. Nel caso di Burroughs, ho dimostrato come la pluriennale tossicodipendenza abbia funzionato quale metafora del Potere e come l?adozione di meccanismi letterari quali il cut-ups e i fold-ins abbia garantito una strategia atta a sottrarre l?individuo dalle variegate coercizioni operate dal controllo del suddetto Potere. Si noter�, inoltre, come per entrambi questi autori la tematica della denudazione abbia giocato un ruolo fondamentale nella loro produzione e nel comune tentativo di disumanizzare il processo creativo, risultando cos� la conditio sine qua non per pervenire a una verit� tanto nel testo quanto nel corpo.
On the relationships of faults for Boolean specification based testing
Creators: name: Lau, Man
name: Yu, Y. T.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Various methods of generating test cases based on Boolean specifications have previously been proposed. These methods are fault-based in the sense that test cases are aimed at detecting particular types of faults. Empirical results suggest that these methods are good at detecting particular types of faults. However, there is no information on the ability of these test cases in detecting other types of faults. The paper summarizes the relationships of faults in a Boolean expression in the form of a hierarchy. A test case that detects the faults at the lower level of the hierarchy will always detect the faults at the upper level of the hierarchy. The hierarchy helps us to better understand the relationships of faults in a Boolean expression, and hence to select fault-detecting test cases in a more systematic and efficient manner.

title: Cinema as a Sensory Circuit: Film Production and Consumption in Contemporary Taiwan
Creators: name: Mon, Ya-Feng
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: culture industry; prosumption; cinematic communication; affect; affectivity; embodiment; object agency; biopolitical governance

description: Using post-2000 Taiwan queer romance films as a case study, this thesis examines the relationship between the film industry and its audience. It revisits scholarly distrust of the culture industry to address how, and to what extent, the power of capitalism has privileged the industry at the expense of the audience’s freedom or personality.

Ethnographically informed, the thesis deems political economy and cultural studies approaches to the research question to be unsatisfactory. Both neglect the sensory aspects of cinematic communication. Drawing inspiration from actor-network theory and the analysis of late capitalism by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, it approaches the film industry-audience relation as a volatile, affective (dis)connection mediated by physical entities, including media technologies. This (dis)connection reflects an era in which the film industry invests in technoscience, tie-in products, ancillary markets and media convergence in order to seduce the senses of the audience. 

Core arguments are pursued along two lines. The first revolves around film text and cinematic apparatus, the second around film marketing and computationalnetworked communication. Looking at productive and consumptive activities, the main chapters reconsider issues of cinematic embodiment, genre filmmaking, film value production, and the (un)productivity of the human body. They locate cinematic embodiment in object-refracted bodily citation of film content, and define genre filmmaking as body-inflected reiteration of formulaic language. Due to the specificity of the Internet medium, which extracts valuegenerative labour from communicative actions by the audience and the industry, the thesis argues that Internet film marketing is a collaborative project of film value production. The productivity of such collaboration is, however, potentially hindered since bodily agency, manifested in the capability of action, retains an ultimate quality of unpredictability.

title: EEG Neurofeedback as a Tool to Modulate Creativity in Music Performance
Creators: name: Leach, Joseph
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: creativity; improvisation; EEG; neurofeedback; biofeedback

description: For millennia, anecdotal reports have described how creative insights have been experienced during the transition from wake to sleep (hypnagogia). In the 1970’s, it was reported that the fleeting moments in which hypnagogia and creativity interact are accompanied by characteristic neuroelectric activity, which is disclosed by a specific feature of the Electroencephalogram (EEG): the increase of spectral power in the theta range (5–8 Hz) in relation to alpha (8–11 Hz). Consequently, prior research, and experiments documented in this thesis, have attempted to modulate the relationship between hypnagogia and creativity using EEG biofeedback.
 
The current thesis charts the historical development of EEG neurofeedback, and evaluates the application of the two neurofeedback methods used most widely by clinicians: the alpha-theta and SMR protocols. Both therapeutic and ‘optimal performance’ contexts are considered; the latter of which includes the study of creative behaviour in musicians, which in turn constitutes the area of experimental observation studied here.
 
The first of three experiments found that prior findings relating neurofeedback to improvement in instrumental solo performance were replicable with the caveat that improving participants started from low baseline scores, and also further isolated the effects of neurofeedback on creativity by suggesting differences in the performance of spontaneous music creation following alpha-theta neurofeedback compared to controls. The second argued that short-term effects of neurofeedback are different from the longer-term outcomes, finding that an alpha-theta intervention impairs music performance in the short-term. The final experiment found that inhibitory activity in the frontal and parietal lobes, distinguishes piano improvisation from the rendition of a score.

Overall, this thesis makes the case that creativity, hypnagogia and music improvisation share a common neurophyisology, and that this may be open to regulation by the application of neurofeedback training that regulates alpha and theta EEG.

description: This PhD dissertation deals with the study of the legislative measures that concerns story and memory. Since the beginning of the nineties, in fact, the idea of ?historical memory? has become a recurrent theme of public debate in a different EU countries and many Parliaments have adopted measures direct to redress the crimes committed in the past, specially in 20th century by repressive regimes.
This phenomenon is particularly noticeable in France Spain and Italy. In the first two cases, Parliaments have introduce a duty of remembrance for the tragedies of the past, while in Spain the issue is approached from the perspective of a subjective right to the recognition of the memories of victims and their families.
Near these type of interventions (generally called memorial laws) several EU countries have also adopted acts direct to the criminalize the Holocaust denial.
In all cases these acts have known a lot of critics because they contrast with important constitutional principles: pluralism, freedom of speech, freedom of teach.
But these acts regards events that have had a profound influence on the development of human dignity and on the birth of the constitutional system after the II� WW.
In this point of view, the aim of this thesis is weigh the possibility for these type of interventions to received admission in democratic and pluralistic societies.
title: Forming a Musical Discourse: ‘Voice Interchangeability’ and Prolongation as Structural Devices and Means of Development
Creators: name: Statherou, Stamatia
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: music; musical composition

description: The purpose of this compositional research has been to shape inner compositional thinking processes and turn them into a musical discourse by developing a structural system that could depict these processes to the outer world. The research process is initialized by compositional concerns on aesthetic and stylistic issues as well as on sonic hearing and listening. This pre-compositional preparation is necessary for developing a deeper understanding on already established stylistic compositional preferences and sound relationships.

Experimentation on various interrelations and interconnections of linear contrapuntal motivic fragments combined by certain groups of vertical sonorities and exploration on concepts of structural protraction and extension of material led to the development of a structural procedure based on ‘voice interchangeability’ and ‘prolongation’. Sectional approach was applied as the main structural form in all nine original compositions of the research.
