Partial Interpretations: Reflexive Revisiting as a Cultural Studies Methodology
Creators: name: Ponce De León – Calero, Alejandro
Publisher: name: Diffractions
Year: 2021

description: In this article, I argue for a renewed engagement with the practice of revisiting in cultural studies, as a way of staying with the particularities, indeterminacies and troubles that fieldwork encounters propose. Reflecting on my research alongside internally displaced women in Colombia, the article shows how returning to one’s previous engagements can put into question former interpretations while serving as an analytical strategy to fully grasp the multiplicity of determinations that concretize fieldwork encounters. Moreover, the article offers an approach to what I call the 'reflexive revisit,' as a mode of critically engaging with our former work and writing, which slows down analysis and conceptualization in a reflexive manner. By suggesting a return to one's work and writing as a way to disentangle information from preceding perspectives and find new resonances, this paper offers a novel way of engaging with the textures proper to fieldwork, "without guarantees".

description: Il volume curato da Heike Mayer e Michela Lazzeroni raccoglie un ricco insieme di contributi con l’intento di stimolare la ricerca sulle piccole e medie città (small and medium-size town, SMSTs) in Europa e nel Nord del mondo. L’idea che guida il libro e la sua struttura, è quella di dimostrare, in modo articolato dal punto di vista tematico e con ambizioni teoriche e pratiche, il ruolo fondamentale che le SMSTs svolgono e/o possono svolgere nel sistema urbano ed economico, superando il ‘pregiudizio urbano’ che ha portato a profondere grande impegno di ricerca sulle grandi città e assai meno sulle tante altre modalità territoriali di organizzazione della società umana. Ne nasce un libro composto da undici contributi, accompagnati da una corposa introduzione e da un’agenda di ricerca finale redatte dal curatore e dalla curatrice del volume - quest’ultima nostra stimata collega da sempre impegnata sui temi consolidati della geografia economica. Gli argomenti sono molteplici e toccano i punti più significativi del problema, in modo da giungere a formulare un invito molto sentito ad abbracciare non solo un tema ma una diversa prospettiva di ricerca.

Asymptotically Scale-invariant Multi-resolution Quantization

Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: A multi-resolution quantizer is a sequence of quantizers where the output of a coarser quantizer can be deduced from the output of a finer quantizer. In this paper, we propose an asymptotically scale-invariant multi-resolution quantizer, which performs uniformly across any choice of average quantization step, when the length of the range of input numbers is large. Scale invariance is especially useful in worst case or adversarial settings, ensuring that the performance of the quantizer would not be affected greatly by small changes of storage or error requirements. We also show that the proposed quantizer achieves a tradeoff between rate and error that is arbitrarily close to the optimum.

description: The properties and composition of the outer crust of nonaccreting cold neutron stars are studied by applying the model of Baym, Pethick, and Sutherland (BPS) and taking into account for the first time triaxial deformations of nuclei. Two theoretical nuclear models, Hartree-Fock plus pairing in the BCS approximation (HF-BCS) with Skyrme SLy6 parametrization and Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov (HFB) with Gogny D1S force, are used to calculate the nuclear masses. The two theoretical calculations are compared concerning their neutron drip line, binding energies, magic neutron numbers, and the sequence of nuclei in the outer crust of nonaccreting cold neutron stars, with special emphasis on the effect of triaxial deformations. The BPS model is extended by the higher-order corrections for the atomic binding, screening, exchange and zero-point energies. The influence of the higher-order corrections on the sequence of the outer crust is investigated.

Swimming in the City: Urban-River-Swimming as Spatial Appropriation in the Spree Canal in Central Berlin
Creators: name: Kraemer, Caitlin
Publisher: name: Diffractions
Year: 2021

description: The built environment shapes the bodies within and influences their movement and actions. Yet, human bodies are not necessarily subject to their surroundings. They can appropriate and (re)write the city. Michel de Certeau (1984) distinguishes between ‘voyeurs’, viewing the city at a distance from above, disconnecting the body from the city, and ‘walkers’, walking in the city and immersing their body into the urban ‘text’. Certeau describes “walking as a space of enunciation” (1984:98), a form of expression, and as an art of appropriation. Inspired by this, the proposed article transfers and expands Certeau’s thoughts on spatial appropriation by analysing ‘swimming in the city’.

description: Il manuale di geografia del turismo di Lorenzo Bagnoli, come suggerisce il sottotitolo, è uno dei primi testi aggiornati che restituisce un quadro attuale e sotto varie declinazioni del fenomeno turistico nazionale ed internazionale pre, durante e post-pandemia. Troviamo infatti, al suo interno, un ricco repertorio di dati e grafici statistici che permettono un confronto diacronico sull’andamento del mercato turistico globale, con un focus sul 2020, l’annus horribilis segnato dall’avvento del Covid-19. L’emergenza sanitaria ha inevitabilmente scatenato una crisi economica, sociale e culturale sul sistema-mondo, modificando, e in alcune fasi sconvolgendo, atteggiamenti e abitudini. Con l’attuazione del lockdown, il blocco della mobilità delle persone ha comportato la drastica riduzione di tutte le tipologie di flussi turistici, compromettendo e mettendo a dura prova il mercato turistico globale; successivamente, le misure di contenimento adottate e lo stato di ansia e preoccupazione hanno aperto nuove strade e opportunità per località in genere marginali.

Primary Dystonia: Conceptualizing the Disorder through a Structural Brain Imaging Lens

Year: 2013

description: Background: Dystonia is a hyperkinetic movement disorder of involuntary, twisting repetitive movements. The anatomical structures and pathways implicated in its pathogenesis as well as their relationship to the neurophysiological paradigm of abnormal surround inhibition, maladaptive plasticity and impaired sensorimotor integration remain not well delineated. Objective: We review the use of high-resolution structural brain imaging using voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) techniques for evaluation of brain changes in primary torsion dystonia and their relationships to the pathophysiology of this disorder. Methods: A search in PubMed was conducted to identify the relevant literature. Discussion: Structural imaging has enhanced our understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of dystonia. In particular, VBM and DTI data have revealed microstructural disturbances in the basal ganglia, sensorimotor cortices and cerebellum along with aberrations in the cortico-striato-pallido-thalamic and cerebello-thalamo-cortical pathways. When combined with functional brain imaging and neurophysiological modalities, a structure-function relationship can be established in the dystonia brain network at the sensorimotor, plasticity, cortical disinhibition and cerebellar outflow connectivity levels. Structural imaging highlighted new anatomical substrates and, with a combined structural-functional approach, has offered new opportunities for investigation of the neurodevelopmental, environmental and/or genetic interplay in the brain networks of dystonia patients.

description: The detailed chemical investigations of the South China Sea soft corals Sinularia tumulosa and Sinularia depressa, yielded two new compounds, namely tumulosterol A (1) and 11’-hydroxy-α-tocopherylquinone (3), along with four related known ones (2, 5–7). Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis and comparison with the spectral data previously reported in the literature. In bioassays, compound 1 displayed significant cytotoxic effects against H1975 and MDA-MB-231 cells with IC50 values of 6.0 and 6.3 µM, respectively. In addition, compound 3 exhibited interesting inhibitory effect on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory responses in RAW264.7 cells with IC50 value of 9.5 µM.

description: The temperature-dependent evolution pattern of 5f electrons helps to elucidate the long-standing itinerant-localized dual nature in plutonium-based compounds. In this work, we investigate the correlated electronic states of PuIn3 dependence on temperature by using a combination of the density functional theory and the dynamical mean-field theory. Not only the experimental photoemission spectroscopy is correctly reproduced, but also a possible hidden 5f itinerant-localized crossover is identified. Moreover, it is found that the quasiparticle multiplets from the many-body transitions gradually enhance with decreasing temperature, accompanied by the hybridizations with 5f electrons and conduction bands. The temperature-induced variation of Fermi surface topology suggests a possible electronic Lifshitz transition and the onset of magnetic order at low temperature. Finally, the ubiquitous existence orbital selective 5f electron correlation is also discovered in PuIn3. These illuminating results shall enrich the understanding on Pu-based compounds and serve as critical predictions for ongoing experimental research.

description: Investigations of the polarization and relaxation of $^{209}$Rn by spin exchange with laser optically pumped rubidium are reported. On the order of one million atoms per shot were collected in coated and uncoated glass cells. Gamma-ray anisotropies were measured as a signal of the alignment (second order moment of the polarization) resulting from the combination of polarization and quadrupole relaxation at the cell walls. The temperature dependence over the range 130$^\circ$C to 220$^\circ$C shows the anisotropies increasing with increasing temperature as the ratio of the spin exchange polarization rate to the wall relaxation rate increases faster than the rubidium polarization decreases. Polarization relaxation rates for coated and uncoated cells are presented. In addition, improved limits on the multipole mixing ratios of some of the main gamma-ray transitions have been extracted. These results are promising for electric dipole moment measurements of octupole-deformed $^{223}$Rn and other isotopes, provided sufficient quantities of the rare isotopes can be produced.

description: Background: Hemichorea–hemiballismus involves unilateral involuntary flailing movements and random jerking movements involving proximal or distal muscles. We describe a case of hemichorea–hemiballismus with dystonia after stroke. Treatment with tetrabenazine and chemodenervation produced beneficial responses. Effective treatment of both hemichorea–hemiballismus and dystonia due to stroke has not been reported. Case Report: A 65-year-old male developed left hemichorea–hemiballismus and dystonia after a right hemisphere stroke. He underwent initial treatment with neuroleptics and anticonvulsants without improvement. Subsequent treatment with tetrabenazine improved the hemichorea–hemiballismus and chemodenervation reduced the dystonia. Discussion: Hemichorea–hemiballismus associated with dystonia can be improved with both tetrabenazine and chemodenervation.

description: Background: DYT‐5 dystonia usually presents as a dopa‐responsive dystonia (DRD) with early or late parkinsonian manifestations and/or dystonic features. Genetically, these patients have been described as having a wide array of independent mutations in the guanosine triphosphate cyclohydrolase 1 gene (GCH1), and these patients may also have a wide array of clinical manifestations. Methods: A Colombian family with six affected female members was characterized. Results: Three members, including the index case, revealed mild parkinsonism, whereas three granddaughters of the index case showed severe generalized dystonia. No men were affected. There was anticipation, and a female predominance was uncovered. Treatment with levodopa was generally effective except in a case with severe skeletal deformities and contractions. Detailed genetic analysis in the index case revealed a new mutation in exon 1 of GCH1 (c.159delG). Discussion: This study revealed a new mutation of GCH1 that resulted in heterogeneous clinical presentations of DRD within a large family.

description: The Csiszár f-divergence, which is a class of information distances, is known to offer a useful tool for analysing the classical counterpart of the cloning operations that are quantum mechanically impossible for the factorized and marginality classical probability distributions under Liouville dynamics. We show that a class of information distances that does not belong to this divergence class also allows for the formulation of a classical analogue of the quantum no-cloning theorem. We address a family of nonlinear Liouville-like equations, and generic distances, to obtain constraints on the corresponding functional forms, associated with the formulation of classical analogue of the no-cloning principle.

description: For reasonable parameters a hole bound to a Na^{+} acceptor in Ca_{2-x}Na_{x}CuO_{2}Cl_{2} has a doubly degenerate ground state whose components can be represented as states with even (odd) reflection symmetry around the x(y) -axes. The conductance pattern for one state is anisotropic as the tip of a tunneling microscope scans above the Cu-O-Cu bonds along the x(y)-axes. This anisotropy is pronounced at lower voltages but is reduced at higher voltages. Qualitative agreement with recent experiments leads us to propose this effect as an explanation of the broken local rotational symmetry.

Year: 2013

description: Background: The impact of scientific articles is proportional to the citations they have received. Our aim was to identify and analyze the top 100 cited articles on essential tremor (ET). Methods: The Institute for Scientific Information Web of Knowledge Database and the 2012 Journal Citation Report Science Editions were used to retrieve the 100 top-cited articles published about ET from 1960 to April 2013. Information was collected by the Analyze Tool on the Web of Science, including number of citations, publication title, journal name, publication year, and country and institution of origin. Additional analyses were then performed to determine authorship, article type, study design, and level of evidence. Results: Almost half of the articles were retrieved from two journals: Neurology (n = 31) and Movement Disorders (n = 18). The top 100 articles were published between 1960 and 2010, with case series being the most common study design (n = 34). According to their countries of origin, more than half of the articles were generated in the United States (n = 54), which led the list. Columbia University in the United States produced the largest number of ET articles (n = 19), followed by the University of Kansas (n = 18). The most frequent first authors of the top-cited articles in ET were E.D. Louis (n = 27) and W.C. Koller (n = 15), who together accounted for 42% of the articles on the list. Discussion: It is important to acknowledge the top-cited articles as they mark key topics and advances in ET.

From Space to Mental Space: A Cognitive Perspective into Narrative and the Architecture of the Human Mind
Creators: name: Abrantes, Ana Margarida
Publisher: name: Diffractions
Year: 2021

description: Spatial metaphors are pervasive across models and theories about the structure and the meaning-making processes of the human mind: metaphorical and metonymic mappings (Lakoff and Johnson 1980, Barcelona 2012), mental spaces (Fauconnier 1994, 1997) or semantic domains (Fauconnier and Sweetser 1996, Brandt 2004) are examples of this spatial ubiquity in cognitive science. In narratology, categories of location and place are often correlated with narrative spaces as expression of a dynamics of unfolding of events, from initial situation to catastrophe to its consequence and result (Brandt 2009). Narrative as such is viewed as a compelling way of worldmaking (Nünning 2010, Goodman 1975), inviting further metaphors in the description of the reading experience, such as ‘being transported’ by means of ‘mentally performing’ narrated actions and experiences (Gerrig 2003).

description: The recently discovered nonlinear Hall effect (NHE) in a few non-interacting systems provides a novel mechanism to generate second harmonic electrical Hall signals under time-reversal-symmetric conditions. Here, we introduce a new approach to engineering NHE by using twisted moiré structures. We find that the twisted WSe$_2$ bilayer exhibits a NHE when tuning the Fermi level to the moiré flat bands. Near half-filling of the first moiré band, the nonlinear Hall signal shows a sharp peak with the generation efficiency at least two orders of magnitude larger than those in previous experiments. We propose that the giant NHE and diverging generation efficiency originate from a mass-diverging type continuous Mott transition, which is evidenced by resistivity measurements. This work demonstrates not only how interaction effects can couple to Berry curvature dipoles to produce novel quantum phenomena, but also what NHE measurements can provide for developing a new tool to study the quantum criticality.

Twisted supersymmetric sigma model on the lattice

description: In this paper we conduct a numerical study of the supersymmetric O(3) non-linear sigma model. The lattice formulation we employ was derived in \cite{sigma1} and corresponds to a discretization of a {\it twisted} form of the continuum action. The twisting process exposes a {\it nilpotent} supercharge $Q$ and allows the action to be rewritten in $Q$-exact form. These properties may be maintained on the lattice. We show how to deform the theory by the addition of potential terms which preserve the supersymmetry. A Wilson mass operator may be introduced in this way with a minimal breaking of supersymmetry. We additionally show how to rewrite the theory in the language of Kähler-Dirac fields and explain why this avenue does not provide a good route to discretization. Our numerical results provide strong evidence for a restoration of full supersymmetry in the continuum limit {\it without} fine tuning. We also observe a non-vanishing chiral condensate as expected from continuum instanton calculations.

Harmaline Tremor: Underlying Mechanisms in a Potential Animal Model of Essential Tremor
Creators: name: Handforth, Adrian
Publisher: name: Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements
Year: 2012

description: Background: Harmaline and harmine are tremorigenic β-carbolines that, on administration to experimental animals, induce an acute postural and kinetic tremor of axial and truncal musculature. This drug-induced action tremor has been proposed as a model of essential tremor. Here we review what is known about harmaline tremor. Methods: Using the terms harmaline and harmine on PubMed, we searched for papers describing the effects of these β-carbolines on mammalian tissue, animals, or humans. Results: Investigations over four decades have shown that harmaline induces rhythmic burst-firing activity in the medial and dorsal accessory inferior olivary nuclei that is transmitted via climbing fibers to Purkinje cells and to the deep cerebellar nuclei, then to brainstem and spinal cord motoneurons. The critical structures required for tremor expression are the inferior olive, climbing fibers, and the deep cerebellar nuclei; Purkinje cells are not required. Enhanced synaptic norepinephrine or blockade of ionic glutamate receptors suppresses tremor, whereas enhanced synaptic serotonin exacerbates tremor. Benzodiazepines and muscimol suppress tremor. Alcohol suppresses harmaline tremor but exacerbates harmaline-associated neural damage. Recent investigations on the mechanism of harmaline tremor have focused on the T-type calcium channel. Discussion: Like essential tremor, harmaline tremor involves the cerebellum, and classic medications for essential tremor have been found to suppress harmaline tremor, leading to utilization of the harmaline model for preclinical testing of antitremor drugs. Limitations are that the model is acute, unlike essential tremor, and only approximately half of the drugs reported to suppress harmaline tremor are subsequently found to suppress tremor in clinical trials.

description: The syndrome of progressive supranuclear palsy‐like syndrome is a rare complication of ascending aortic aneurysm repair. We report two patients with videos and present a table of prior reported cases. To our knowledge there is no previously published video of this syndrome. The suspected mechanism is brainstem injury though neuroimaging is often negative for an associated infarct. We hope our report will increase recognition of this syndrome after aortic surgery, especially in patients with visual complaints.

description: An rf superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) array in an alternating magnetic field is investigated with respect to its effective magnetic permeability, within the effective medium approximation. This system acts as an inherently nonlinear magnetic metamaterial, leading to negative magnetic response, and thus negative permeability, above the resonance frequency of the individual SQUIDs. Moreover, the permeability exhibits oscillatory behavior at low field intensities, allowing its tuning by a slight change of the intensity of the applied field.

description: The Endpoint Theorem links the existence of a sequence (curve), without accumulation points, in a manifold to the existence of an open embedding of that manifold so that the image of the given sequence (curve) has a unique endpoint. It plays a fundamental role in the theory of the Abstract Boundary as it implies that there is always an Abstract Boundary boundary point to represent the endpoint of such sequences and curves. The Endpoint Theorem will be of interest to researchers analysing specific spacetimes as it shows how to construct a chart in the original manifold which contains the sequence (curve). In particular, it has application to the study of singularities predicted by the singularity theorems.

description: Nel discorso sulle aree interne, seppur differenziato a seconda del contesto in cui è inserito, si può identificare una certa ricorrenza di temi e prospettive, che si intrecciano fino a definire una sorta di convergenza concettuale da cui origina molta parte della gamma di politiche attualmente in essere in Italia. Il concetto più emblematico è quello della “inversione dello sguardo”, perno di tutto il dibattito sulle aree interne lanciato dalla Strategia Nazionale per le Aree Interne (SNAI): esso ambisce a superare tutte quelle tradizionali dicotomie che hanno storicamente opposto pianura e montagna, Nord e Sud, urbano e rurale, entro una visione «metrofila» che considera l’innovazione possibile solo nelle città. Invertire lo sguardo è considerato, da chi se ne fa portavoce, un atto rivoluzionario: mettere i margini al centro, infatti, implica non considerare più le aree interne come bacini di arretratezza ma guardarle, al contrario, come possibili laboratori di innovazione e futuro, realizzando strategie placed based in grado di invertire i trend demografici.

description: The understanding of the behavioral aspects of a software system is an essential enabler for many software engineering activities, such as adaptation. This involves collecting runtime data from the system so that it is possible to analyze the collected data to guide actions upon the system. Consequently, software monitoring imposes practical challenges because it is often done by intercepting the system execution and recording gathered information. Such monitoring may degrade the performance and disrupt the system execution to unacceptable levels. In this paper, we introduce a two-phase monitoring approach to support the monitoring step in adaptive systems. The first phase collects lightweight coarse-grained information and identifies relevant parts of the software that should be monitored in detail based on a provided domain-specific language. This language is informed by a systematic literature review. The second phase collects relevant and fine-grained information needed for deciding whether and how to adapt the managed system. Our approach is implemented as a framework, called Tigris, that can be seamlessly integrated into existing software systems to support monitoring-based activities. To validate our proposal, we instantiated Tigris to support an application-level caching approach, which adapts caching decisions of a software system at runtime to improve its performance.

Tourette Syndrome and Consciousness of Action

description: Background: Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by the chronic presence of multiple motor tics and at least one vocal/phonic tic since childhood. Tics typically change and vary in both intensity and severity over time, with remission and exacerbation common. In the vast majority of patients, tic expression is characteristically accompanied by discomforting bodily sensations, known as sensory phenomena or premonitory urges. Methods: We reviewed the existing literature on premonitory urges associated with the sense of voluntariness of action in TS. Results: Although the wish to move is perceived by the patient as involuntary, the decision to release the tic is often perceived by the patient as a voluntary capitulation to the subjective urge. Most patients with TS can exert a degree of control over the urge and constantly try to inhibit the movement. Based on these features, it has been suggested that tics performed in response to an urge to move should be classified as ‘unvoluntary’, as opposed to voluntary or involuntary acts. However, recent experimental data suggest that the brain areas involved in the generation of the wish to act show considerable overlap between healthy subjects and patients with TS. Discussion: The simultaneous presence of both voluntary and involuntary aspects in the expression of tic symptoms by patients with TS is consistent with the hypothesis that tics can have the same neurophysiologic substrate as voluntary acts, even though they are misperceived as being involuntary. This reinforces the view of TS as a hyperkinetic movement disorder primarily affecting the conscious experience of action.

description: Recent developments in the computation of two-loop master integrals for massive Bhabha scattering are briefly reviewed. We apply a method based on expansions of exact Mellin-Barnes representations and evaluate all planar four-point master integrals in the approximation of small electron mass at fixed scattering angle for the one-flavor case. The same technique is employed to derive and evaluate also all two-loop masters generated by additional fermion flavors. The approximation is sufficient for the determination of QED two-loop corrections for Bhabha scattering in the kinematics planned to be used for the luminosity determination at the ILC.

Essential Tremor, the Cerebellum, and Motor Timing: Towards Integrating Them into One Complex Entity

description: Essential tremor (ET) is the most common movement disorder in humans. It is characterized by a postural and kinetic tremor most commonly affecting the forearms and hands. Isolated head tremor has been found in 1–10% of patients, suggesting that ET may be a composite of several phenotypes. The exact pathophysiology of ET is still unknown. ET has been repeatedly shown as a disorder of mild cerebellar degeneration, particularly in postmortem studies. Clinical observations, electrophysiological, volumetric and functional imaging studies all reinforce the fact that the cerebellum is involved in the generation of ET. However, crucial debate exists as to whether ET is a neurodegenerative disease. Data suggesting that it is neurodegenerative include postmortem findings of pathological abnormalities in the brainstem and cerebellum, white matter changes on diffusion tensor imaging, and clinical studies demonstrating an association with cognitive and gait changes. There is also conflicting evidence against ET as a neurodegenerative disease: the improvement of gait abnormalities with ethanol administration, lack of gray matter volume loss on voxel-based morphometry, failure to confirm the prominent presence of Lewy bodies in the locus ceruleus, and other pathological findings. To clarify this issue, future research is needed to describe the mechanism of cellular changes in the ET brain and to understand the order in which they occur. The cerebellum has been shown to be involved in the timing of movement and sensation, acting as an internal timing system that provides the temporal representation of salient events spanning hundreds of milliseconds. It has been reported that cerebellar timing function is altered in patients with ET, showing an increased variability of rhythmic hand movements as well as diminished performance during predictive motor timing task. Based on current knowledge and observations, we argue that ET is essentially linked with cerebellar degeneration, or at least cerebellar dysfunction, together with disturbance of motor timing. We explain the context of our current understanding on this topic, highlighting possible clinical consequences for patients suffering from ET and future research directions.
