“Cimarroneándose y en bocabajos” ¿Una poesía afrocubana de la revolución? El caso de Georgina Herrera
Creators: name: Collado Cabrera, Bibiana
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: The success of the Revolution in Cuba modifies the place socially occupied by the black population, the cultural policies and the genre paradigms as well as their organizational ways. How this process affects writing?
Our essay try to show the importance of the presence of afro-cuban in the written poetry  during the revolutionary period in Cuba. Specifically, we are interested in highlighting the genres and ethnicity cross and his differentiation with respect, on the one hand, to what had been considered until the moment like black poetry, and on the other hand, to the institutional poetry, that coincident with the aesthetic paradigm established by the regime.
The study around as it is located the subject woman-black in the Cuban cultural field is too broad to be face in this work. However, we try to study the Georgina Herrera’s case to show some of the textual strategies that she  used  for to be inserted in a tradition and a social literary circuit like the  Cuban.

Exploring the Experience of Moral Distress in Multidisciplinary Teams Providing End-of-Life Care
Creators: name: Layh, Janice

description: Moral distress is identified as a significant experience for health professionals in clinical settings and has been widely explored; its existence is verified across extensive research in acute care settings. The negative impacts of moral distress have highlighted the detrimental outcomes for professionals, organisations, and patients. A narrative review of the literature identified a large body of research examining moral distress in individual health professionals. However, a gap in the literature exists in examining moral distress in the context of multidisciplinary teams, and the ways in which these teams influence the experience. The end-of-life care setting became a focus for this research after it was highlighted as a time when moral distress arose frequently. These deficits provide the question for this research.
Sentarse a la mesa del Señor. Metaforizaciones y conflictos en La última cena de Tomás Gutiérrez Alea
Creators: name: Fiorani, Flavio
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: La última cena by Gutiérrez Alea is based on an actual event that took place in Cuba: one Holy Thursday at the end of the Eighteen century the owner of a sugar plantation invites twelve of his slaves to dinner and shows them the path to salvation through the message of Christian Redemption. In particular, the film shows how during the Easter rite the messianic event and the metaphoric language of salvation lead to shifts in meaning that the slaves interpret as the concrete possibility for them to be free. The sacred of the liturgical act as an “action” that can be performed by the guests at the Lord’s table in order to reach freedom is reproduced by the very cinematographic language. Actually, the slaves oppose to the Christian account an “open word”, thus debunking the project of disciplining them and stirring a rebellion in which the contamination of the sacred with the profane becomes the epiphany of a new life: no more a celestial one, but a worldly and free life in the isle of Cuba.

description: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents one of the most critical and growing threats to global health. AMR, which is already associated with significant social and economic burden, is predicted to further worsen, causing 10 million deaths annually by 2050 if left unchecked. The scarcity of novel antimicrobial agents, coupled with enduring antibiotic misuse/overuse that has worsened due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has driven the dramatic increase in multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria that threatens to push us closer towards a ‘post-antibiotic’ world. To address this existential threat, the overall aim of my thesis was to improve both understanding and diagnosis of AMR infections caused by formidable Gram-negative bacteria.
description: Early and accurate AMR detection is imperative for effective infection control, personalised treatment, and for reducing our heavy reliance on empirical administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics that drive AMR and MDR development. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been increasingly implemented as a comprehensive and accurate diagnostic tool in our battle against superbugs. Unfortunately, current bioinformatic software is limited in its ability to detect AMR determinants for many opportunistic bacterial pathogens such as Burkholderia pseudomallei and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Melioidosis, a rare but often deadly tropical disease caused by B. pseudomallei, requires up to six months of antimicrobial treatment to fully eradicate this pathogen; early identification of AMR development in this pathogen thus represents a clinical imperative to minimise mortality. The ESKAPE pathogen, P. aeruginosa, represents one of the biggest AMR threats globally due to its high intrinsic AMR, MDR potential, highly virulent nature, commonality, and person-to-person transmissibility. Combined, these factors make P. aeruginosa infections exceedingly difficult to treat, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality.
Bioremediation of Contaminated Soils by Echinacea purpurea and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi

description: As a potential bioremediation system for contaminated soils, I evaluated the use of an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus, Glomus intraradices on roots and shoots uptake of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), alkyl PAHs, and toxic metals in Echinacea purpurea, in using a controlled 20-week greenhouse study and a complimentary 2-year field study. E. purpurea seeds were either inoculated with the mycorrhizal fungus (AM) or not inoculated (non-AM) and grown in soil provided by the National Capital Commission (NCC) that have known contamination. In the greenhouse study, AM inoculation increased the uptake of alkyl PAHs in the roots of E. purpurea. The AM inoculation showed no effect on root uptake of PAHs and toxic metals over the 20-week study period. However, when I calculated the uptake rates (k1) for PAHs between both treatments, the AM treated roots ha 10-fold higher k1 values than non-AM treated roots. The soil concentrations of PAHs were found to increase over time with AM inoculation, suggesting, that AM fungi are causing a solvent depletion through root uptake of minerals and carbon, which concentrates the more hydrophobic PAHs in soils. Alkyl PAHs and metals showed no change over time amongst any of the treatments. Assessing the performance of AM fungi on the uptake of contaminants under field conditions, only PAHs showed increased bioaccumulation in the shoots of E. purpurea with AM inoculation. Alkyl PAHs and metals in plant material were unaffected by the AM inoculation, but increased significantly from year 1 to year 2. The uptake rates among treatments were similar, with non-AM roots having slightly greater uptake. Soil concentrations of PAHs and alkyl PAHs were unaffected over the course of the experiment. Our control soil, however, showed significant increases in concentration from year 1 to year 2 with alkyl PAHs. These results quantified the influence of AM hyphae-mediated uptake of organic and inorganic contaminant transfer from soil to plants and the bioaccumulation kinetics for contaminants by E. purpurea that will be useful for environmental models and phytoremediation strategies.
Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Formation and Regeneration by the Cellular Inhibitor of Apoptosis 1 (cIAP1) Protein

description: The inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins traditionally regulate programmed cell death by binding to and inhibiting caspases. Recent studies have uncovered a variety of alternate cellular roles for several IAP family members. The cellular inhibitor of apoptosis 1 (cIAP1) protein, for instance, regulates different axes of the NF-κB signalling pathway. Given the extensive functions of NF-κB signalling in muscle differentiation and regeneration, I asked if cIAP1 also plays critical roles in skeletal muscle myogenesis. In a primary myoblast cell-culture system, genetic and pharmacological approaches revealed that loss of cIAP1 dramatically increases the fusion of myoblasts into myotubes. NF-κB signalling occurs along a classical and an alternative pathway, both of which are highly active in cIAP1-/- myoblasts. Suppression of the alternative pathway attenuates myotube fusion in wildtype and cIAP1-/- myoblasts. Conversely, constitutive activation of the alternative pathway increases myoblast fusion in wildtype myoblasts. cIAP1-/- mice have greater muscle weight and size than wildtypes, as well as an increased number of muscle stem cells. These results identify cIAP1 as a regulator of myogenesis through its modulation of classical and alternative NF-κB signalling pathways. Loss of the structural protein dystrophin in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy leads to chronic degeneration of skeletal muscle. The muscle pathology is strongly influenced by NF-κB signaling. Given the roles demonstrated for cIAP1 in cell culture and in vivo, I asked whether loss of cIAP1 would influence muscle pathology in the mdx mouse. To address this question, double-mutant mice were bred lacking both cIAP1 and dystrophin (cIAP1-/-;mdx). Histological analyses revealed that double-mutant mice exhibited reduced indications of damage on several measures, as compared to single-mutant (cIAP1+/+;mdx) controls. Unexpectedly, these reductions were seen in the “slow-twitch” soleus muscle but not in the “fast-twitch” extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle. The improvements in pathology of double-mutant solei were associated with reductions in muscle infiltration by CD68-expressing macrophages. Finally, the double-mutant mice exhibited improved endurance and resistance to damage during treadmill-running exercise. Taken together, these results suggest that loss of cIAP1, through its multiple regulatory functions, acts to improve myogenesis and increase muscle resistance to damage.
Percorsi di apprendimento per gli stranieri nella scuola italiana

description: Nell’articolo si passano in rassegna le nuove proposte editoriali per gli studenti non italofoni nella scuola secondaria di primo grado e di uno in particolare, a titolo esemplificativo, si analizzano più da vicino le caratteristiche. L’indagine considera le strategie di scrittura controllata messe in atto nei testi. Infatti, tutti questi manuali (antologie, grammatiche, libri di storia) sono realizzati secondo un’idea comune: le difficoltà poste dall’italiano per lo studio agli stranieri devono essere appianate attraverso la semplificazione: per quanto riguarda le discipline scolastiche facilitare l’apprendimento significa soprattutto semplificare i testi per fornire conoscenze e nozioni fondamentali e competenze e abilità di base da cui sia possibile poi accedere a livelli più alti e raffinati. Si sottolinea, dunque, che  la versione semplificata dei testi dei manuali disciplinari deve essere intesa come strumento propedeutico, transitorio, che aiuta l’apprendente a compiere i primi passi nello sviluppo delle abilità di studio sia orali che scritte da cui procedere verso competenze linguistico-cognitive più ambiziose.     In this paper an overview is given of the new publications for non-Italian speakers at lower secondary schools and the main features of one text in particular are examined in greater detail as an example.  The study takes into consideration the strategies of graded texts.   In fact all these textbooks (anthologies, grammars, history books) are written with a common purpose: the difficulties foreigners encounter due to the use of Italian must be smoothed out by means of simplification: as regards school subjects, to a great extent facilitating learning means simplifying the texts in order to provide essential knowledge and basic concepts and competences, which can be used as a starting point for accessing higher and more sophisticated levels of learning.  It is therefore emphasized that the simplified versions of textbooks for the various subjects must be considered as transitory, preparatory tools, which help the learner to move her first steps towards developing the oral and written study skills from which she will be able to proceed towards more ambitious linguistic-cognitive competences.

description: The long-term use of antibiotics has led to widespread bacterial resistance and so there is an urgent need to identify new antibiotics. Traditional medicine based on natural products has often led to the discovery of new drugs, and ecological cues can also reveal bioactive natural compounds. Kino from eucalypt trees (Corymbia and Eucalyptus spp.) is a trunk exudate that contains high levels of potentially useful polyphenols. Aboriginal communities in Australia have used these kinos to treat ailments such as diarrhoea, scabies, haemorrhage and chronic bowel inflammation. Crude kino extracts from Corymbia citriodora, C. torelliana and their hybrid were tested for antimicrobial activity against three Gram-negative bacteria, two Gram-positive bacteria and a unicellular fungus. All crude extracts showed antimicrobial activity against all the microorganisms, with the highest zone of inhibition observed against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The MIC of all extracts was 200 μg/mL. The extracts were not cytotoxic within 48 hours, although minor morphological changes of Caco-2 cells were observed. None of the extracts reduced the ability of microorganisms to form biofilm within 24 h. One of these eucalypt species, C. torelliana, also has an unusual ecological relationship with stingless bees, which are strongly attracted to the resin of its fruits and disperse its seeds. Seven flavanones from C. torelliana kino were identified by spectroscopic and spectrometric methods including UV, 1D and 2D NMR and UPLC-HR-MS. These were 3,4',5,7-tetrahydroxyflavanone (1), 3',4',5,7-tetrahydroxyflavanone (2), 4',5,7-trihydroxyflavanone (3), 3,4',5-trihydroxy-7-methoxyflavanone (4), (+)-(2S)-4',5,7-trihydroxy-6-methylflavanone (5), 4',5,7-trihydroxy-6,8-dimethylflavanone (6) and 4',5-dihydroxy-7-methoxyflavanone (7). All seven flavanones were active against P. aeruginosa at 50 μg/well but only one compound, (5), was active against Staphylococcus aureus. Another compound, (6), greatly increased biofilm formation by both P. aeruginosa and S. aureus. The presence and location of methyl groups in the flavanone structure were characters that determined their antibacterial and biofilm-stimulating activities. Two of the most abundant flavanones in C. torelliana kino were then tested against these two bacteria at a wider range of concentrations. Compound (1) inhibited planktonic growth of P. aeruginosa but also increased its biofilm formation. In contrast, compound (3) inhibited planktonic growth of S. aureus and, only at sub-inhibitory concentrations, reduced its biofilm formation. Both flavanones reduced adhesion of P. aeruginosa and S. aureus to Caco-2 cells and both elicited no signs of cytotoxicity in Vero-2 cells. This thesis, therefore, demonstrated that combining traditional medicinal knowledge with ecological cues can reveal natural compounds with antibiotic potential.

description: The contemporary academic environment in Canada has undergone reorganization based on neoliberal principles, and has increased attention focused on the importance of supporting interdisciplinary initiatives to address complex problems affecting global society. The purpose of our study was to examine the experience of people participating in a specific university-funded interdisciplinary research initiative. As there is a strong emphasis within this program on reporting on the outcomes of the funding that supports interdisciplinary collaboration, our aim was to explore how participation may shape one’s intellectual quality of life (iQoL) and how one’s iQoL could be conceptualized and understood. Using a pragmatic constructivist case study, focus group and individual interviews were undertaken with 30 participants involved with university-funded interdisciplinary research teams. Findings illustrate that their iQoL was shaped by their capacity to engage in and achieve what they viewed as their core work and its outcomes. Related sub-themes addressed the social and relational climate, institutional environment and structure, and expectations and resources. We argue that further development of iQoL as a unique construct is required to adequately measure the full range of people’s experiences in academia, particularly when aiming to address ‘wicked’ social and global problems within a predominantly neoliberal context.
Patterns of wisdom in the Old English "Solomon and Saturn II".
Creators: name: Wallis, Mary V.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1991
Subjects: subject: Literature, Medieval.

description: The Old English Solomon and Saturn II has received virtually no extended critical commentary since Robert J. Menner's 1941 edition of it and its companion piece, Solomon and Saturn I. The few brief attempts made to explain the poem, moreover, have been without reference to the body of OE sapiential thought to which it belongs. This thesis offers a close structural and thematic reading of SS II as it appears against the background of general notions and concepts belonging to the body of OE wisdom. The thesis begins with a review of the poem's history and related literary criticism. Lexical and thematic material is then selected from the entire OE corpus to present those aspects of OE wisdom that bear on an understanding of SS II. The thesis addresses the conceptual and intellectual formulations of wisdom in the Anglo-Saxon period, rather than simply its literary forms, and it takes into account both pre-conversion and Christian views on human and divine wisdom. The thesis then illustrates how SS II reflects certain patterns that exist in the general OE wisdom tradition. The narrator's framework establishes a metaphysical context for the whole poem that is consistent with the Christian Anglo-Saxon concept of divine Wisdom. The epistemological premises of the debate itself, as well as a core of beliefs and implicit assumptions shared by the opponents, Solomon and Saturn, reflect the tensions and harmonies that appear in the broad view of OE wisdom. The interaction between Saturn and Solomon--the one a travelling Chaldean noble, the other the Old Testament King, is examined next. The competition between an epic rhetorical model, namely, the visit of a roving hero to the court of an established king, and the Christian typology that surrounds the wise King Solomon, is arguably a significant source of meaning in the poem. The tension between literary and figural patterns provides an interpretive matrix against which the audience can follow the discourse of the two men. Finally, the thesis turns to the structure of the SS II dialogue and demonstrates that far from being a simple contest of wit and "wisdom," the poem is a sophisticated process of education through dialogue whose central concern is the emancipation of the mind from the illusions of language. The dialogue shares several "habits of thought" with Boethius' Consolation Philosophiae and Augustine's Soliloquia in the process by which it restores to Saturn's infirm and misguided mind its natural wisdom and its power of interpretation.
Socialist states and GATT.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1991
Subjects: subject: Law.

description: The purpose of the socialist states' participation in world trade systems was to expand trade with Western countries by elimination of discriminatory treatment imposed by the West. Although China is an original member of GATT, the new government had not been able to participate in GATT activities and had been kept away from the multilateral trade system ever since its inception. It had been subject to the constraints of a special Western trade control policy, which facilitated the formation of the highly centralized economic system in China. There are six socialist member states in GATT. They are Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Poland, Romania, Hungary and Cuba. Since 1980 China has been considering the pros and cons of GATT membership. Although China is an original member of GATT, the new government of the PRC has not participated in GATT activities for thirty years. By seeking GATT membership, China hopes to eliminate various kinds of discriminatory quantitative restrictions, to enjoy the MFN treatment of GATT to play a major role in world trade, to learn how to do business in multilateral trade system and to protect its interest through GATT systems. China's position towards GATT membership is resumption, not accession. It wants to become a member on the basis of tariff concession and to enjoy GSP treatment. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Open Science is high on the European Union agenda as one of the prime instruments for a more transparent, effective and competitive research environment. Recently, key organizations, such as library and Universities associations, as well as Ministries of European countries have joined the stream of calls for a transition to a new scientific paradigm. LIBER, the leading network of European Research Libraries, is running its new strategy for the period 2018-2022 'Research Libraries Powering Sustainable Knowledge in the Digital Age'. The strategy has a strong interest in Open Science that was recently expressed through publishing the Open Science Roadmap. The Roadmap describes the context that has been shaped, the challenges that research libraries face and the pillars of Open Science activities. Together with other documents and activities it aims to enable libraries to familiarize, embrace and facilitate Open Science. It also becomes clear that Open Science will be a key discourse topic between libraries, researchers and societies, and at the end of the dialogue all should be persuaded about a cultural change that will help the European research landscape to progress.

description: Il presente articolo propone un’analisi degli errori rilevati in un corpus di testi prodotti da un gruppo di studenti universitari sinofoni. Scopo di tale analisi è individuare le possibili interferenze della lingua madre (cinese mandarino) all’interno de processo di acquisizione della L2 (italiano), al fine di comprendere più approfonditamente le principali difficoltà linguistiche incontrate da apprendenti sinofoni nell’acquisizione dell’italiano. Nel primo capitolo si prendono brevemente in considerazione gli aspetti della lingua cinese che si distanziano maggiormente dal sistema linguistico dell’italiano e che per questo rappresentano frequenti fonti di errore nel processo di apprendimento.  Il capitolo 2 è invece dedicato all’esposizione dei risultati dell’analisi svolta.       The article offers an analysis of the errors found in a corpus of texts produced by a group of Chinese-speaking university students.  The objective of the analysis is to identify possible interferences from their mother tongue (Mandarin Chinese) in the process of acquiring the L2 (Italian), in order to gain a deeper understanding of the main linguistic difficulties encountered by Chinese-speaking learners acquiring Italian.  In the first chapter brief consideration is given to those aspects of Chinese that are furthest removed from the Italian language system and which, for this reason, are the source of errors in the learning process.  Chapter 2, instead, is devoted to an account of the results obtained from the analysis.

description: The complex and entangled relationship between memory, identity and narrative wields huge influence over our sense of self, yet often remains unexamined in our day-to-day lives. Literary critic Birgit Neumann believes that disseminating this relationship through 'fictions of memory' (the genre designation for literature that concerns itself with memory and its related themes [Neumann 2008]) can aid our understanding of our past, ourselves, and the dynamic nature of all the elements that work together to construct identity. Using Neumann's theory of the mimesis of memory, together with several key theorists who contribute to an understanding of memory's constructionist and subjective nature including psychologist Frederic Bartlett and phenomenologist Gaston Bachelard, this Doctor of Creative Arts submission responds, creatively and exegetically, to the following questions: 1. What are the common genre characteristics of 'fictions of memory' and how do these representations of memory lead to a deeper understanding of the nature of memory, identity and narrative? 2. Are there commonalities between the writing process and the nature of memory, and if so, can understanding these commonalities aid the construction of a 'fiction of memory'? 3. What are the phenomenological implications of houses on memory and identity? 4. Can literary representations of building a home further explicate the links between memory and identity? 3. Utilising the 'iterative cyclic web' (Smith & Dean 2009) of practice-led research and research-led practice, together with an embodiment of the very nature of memory as a methodological approach for the creative process, this research culminated in the construction of a 'fiction of memory' entitled The substance we are made of, which examines the ways we recollect and reconstruct events to bridge the temporal chasm between past and present self.

description: Statement of the problem: Methicillin-resistant Staphyloccocus aureus (MRSA) is a pathogen of increasing concern and is associated with higher hospital readmission rates, poorer prognosis, and increased mortality resulting in increasing costs to the Canadian healthcare system.1-13 Institutions have been challenged with developing effective infection control programs to prevent the spread of MRSA. The purpose of this thesis was to examine the clinical and cost-effectiveness of a universal MRSA screening intervention within a large tertiary care facility. Methods of investigation: The retrospective population-based observational study consisted of two periods. In the first period (24 months), patients admitted to the Ottawa Hospital underwent risk factor-based screening. In the second period (20 months), universal MRSA screening was implemented in which all patients were screened for MRSA upon admission. Results: The regression analysis demonstrated that the universal MRSA screening intervention was not effective in reducing the number of nosocomial MRSA cases. The economic analysis estimated that the universal MRSA screening intervention incurred an additional cost of $1.16 million/year with an estimated additional cost per patient screened of $17.76. Conclusions: The universal MRSA screening intervention was not clinically or economically effective. Further research is required to verify/dispute these findings in other settings.
Fenomeni d’interferenza nell’apprendimento dell’italiano da parte di parlanti spagnolo. Un’indagine a partire da un test a scelta multipla per gli studenti dell’Università Complutense di Madrid.

description: È noto che nell’apprendimento di lingue affini come italiano e spagnolo, il fenomeno del transfer linguistico gioca spesso un ruolo fondamentale. La percezione di vicinanza e di congruenza tra i due sistemi linguistici è alla base del frequente trasferimento da parte degli apprendenti, di regole, espressioni ed abitudini proprie della loro L1 nella L2, che non inficiando in molti casi il successo comunicativo rischiano alla lunga di cristallizzarsi e fossilizzarsi. Nella ricerca, svolta a partire da un test a scelta multipla proposto ad alcuni alunni dei corsi di italiano dell’Università Complutense di Madrid, si rilevano e descrivono alcune delle tipologie più ricorrenti di errori dovuti ad interferenza della L1, mettendo in rilievo la loro incidenza e la loro influenza nel determinare la specificità del percorso di apprendimento dell’italiano da parte degli ispanofoni, contraddistinto da accelerazioni e rallentamenti, arresti e stabilizzazioni.     It is known that when learning similar languages, such as Italian and Spanish, the phenomenon of linguistic transfer often plays a fundamental role.  The perception of the two language systems as close and congruent is at the basis of the learners’ frequent transfer of rules, expressions and habits belonging to their L1 into the L2  which, since in many cases their communicative success is not hindered, risk taking root and becoming fossilized in the long term. The survey, based on a multiple-choice test run with students on an Italian course at Madrid’s Università Complutense, identifies and describes some of the most recurrent types of errors due to interference from L1, highlighting their incidence and influence in determining the specific nature of the learning route for Spanish speakers studying Italian, marked by acceleration and slowdowns, halts and moments of stabilization.

Creoli e interlingue: un confronto.
Creators: name: Gelso, Daniela
Publisher: name: Italiano LinguaDue
Year: 2009

description: Riprendendo la tesi secondo la quale le produzioni degli stranieri che apprendono l’italiano L2 mostrerebbero somiglianze con pidgin e creoli, il presente lavoro propone un’analisi comparativa tra le interlingue sviluppate da parlanti non italofoni ed il Criolo Guineense, creolo a base portoghese parlato in Guinea Bissau.  Molti dei fenomeni che caratterizzano le lingue di contatto, infatti, sono riscontrabili anche nei processi di acquisizione spontanea di lingue seconde. Pur presentando ovvie differenze dovute a fattori storici e linguistici, creolo e interlingua sono entrambi codici semplificati, caratterizzati da strutture più semplici rispetto allo standard e da minore elaborazione grammaticale.  Attraverso l’analisi di alcuni tratti linguistici del Criolo Guineense si é tentato di dimostrare che semplificazione non equivale ad impoverimento e che le varietà semplificate – siano esse varietà di apprendimento o lingue di contatto -  possiedono tutti i mezzi espressivi atti a descrivere la realtà nelle sue varie sfumature.     Re-examining the argument by which the linguistic production of foreigners learning Italian as L2 is seen as having considerable similarities to pidgin and creoles, the paper offers a comparative analysis of the interlanguages that have developed amongst non-Italian speakers and Guyanese Creole, a Creole idiom based on Portuguese which is spoken in Guinea Bissau.  Many of the phenomena that mark languages in contact are in fact to be found in the spontaneous acquisition of second languages, too.  Whilst exhibiting clear differences due to historical and linguistic factors, Creole and interlanguages are both simplified codes, characterised by less complex structures than the standard and with less grammatical elaboration.  Through an analysis of certain linguistic features of Guyanese Creole, an attempt has been made to show that simplification does not equate with impoverishment and that simplified variations – whether varieties of learning or languages in contact – possess all the means of expression needed to describe reality in its various different manifestations.

A compulsory IT transition subject experience: zero credit points leads to zero future
Creators: name: Lang, Catherine
name: Robbie, Diane
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In 2002 the Faculty of Information Communication Technologies (FICT) at Swinburne University of Technology made a commitment to student transition to higher education by mandating that incoming undergraduates complete a transition subject (HIT0103 IT Transition) as part of their degree. This paper describes how this zero credit point transition subject has evolved over four years. It commenced as a one-semester length compulsory subject in one of the faculty’s degree courses, and extended to all first year degrees by 2005. As a result of systematic evaluations, and the burden to the faculty of self-funding, a one-week intensive program will replace HIT0103 in 2006. Some of the main curriculum components from HIT0103 will be embedded in core subjects, in particular a continuing focus on the group work process, presentation skills and reflective writing. The authors discuss HIT0103’s implementation through the design, development, review and evaluation phases drawing on the reactions of students to this compulsory pass requirement of a zero credit point subject in their undergraduate degree course.
Construction and Optimization of Tetracycline-Responsive Gene Expression Systems

Gene Expression Systems

description: Conditional gene expression systems that enable inducible and reversible transcriptional control are essential research tools and have broad applications in biomedicine and biotechnology. The reverse tetracycline transcriptional activator is a canonical system for engineered gene expression control that enables graded and gratuitous modulation of target gene transcription in eukaryotes from yeast to human cell lines and transgenic animals. However, the system has a tendency to activate transcription even in the absence of tetracycline and this leaky target gene expression impedes its use. Here, we identify single amino acid substitutions that greatly enhance the dynamic range of the system by reducing leaky transcription to undetectable levels while retaining high expression capacity in the presence of inducer. Furthermore, we show that these improved DNA binding domains can be fused to repression domains to create synthetic transcriptional repressors. The function of these transcriptional repressors is dependent on the location of their recruitment and their mechanisms of action.

Investigation of Sediment Retention within the Permeable Pavement Substructure
Creators: name: King, Jarrod
Publisher: name: University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Year: 2011

description: Permeable pavements are one proven solution for improving stormwater runoff quantity and quality. They are load bearing and can be designed for local roads as a substitute for impervious bitumen road surfaces. Permeable pavements allow water to infiltrate through large gaps in the pavers into a series of filter media before being either released into the ground water or harvested in tanks under the pavement for later reuse. One of the perceived drawbacks of permeable pavements is that they have a high tendency to clog, especially if not properly installed and maintained. The clogging process involves sediment particles becoming trapped within the voids of the pavement substructure aggregates, which over time can reduce the infiltration capacity of the pavement. The processes that occur during the clogging process of permeable pavements are still not fully understood and there has been little research into these processes to date. The objective of this report was to explore the processes of sediment clogging within permeable pavement substructures by modelling stormwater runoff on permeable pavement substructures with various types of sediment. Sediment samples were collected from stormwater pits in five inland, urban and coastal locations on the Sunshine Coast. The samples obtained were analysed in the laboratory and results indicated that sediments found within the Sunshine Coast could be suitably represented through two different sediment profiles. Sediment Profile 1 was collected from the Happy Valley car park in Caloundra, this sample has a considerably different sediment size distribution compared to the other four sites, as determined by the analysis undertaken. Profile 2 was a mixture of samples from the other four further inland locations.
