description: The European Citizens' Initiative [ICE] is an institution that provides European citizens with the possibility of direct - disintermediated - dialogue with the European Commission and through the European Commission with the European Parliament and the Council. Provided for in the EU Treaties, the ICE became a real opportunity for Europeans only in 2012, however remaining little known by the population and little used. Through the analysis of the entire set of proposals presented in the first 10 of its implementation, the study aims to understand its nature and evolution in the first phase of application. The data shows that interest in the European citizen initiative has not been homogeneous in the 28 states and that there has been less involvement in those that have recently joined the EU. The set of policies promoted by European citizens shows a preponderance of post-materialistic instances, aimed at defending the environment and civil and social rights but also national peculiarities. The analysis of the initiatives picture a Europe in which alongside the political priorities of the Union, there are other different ones, deemed urgent or only desirable by its inhabitants. Keywords: European Citizens’ Initiative, Political Participation, European Public Sphere L’Iniziativa dei Cittadini Europei [ICE] è un istituto che fornisce ai cittadini europei la possibilità di un’interlocuzione diretta e senza mediazioni con la Commissione Europea e tramite quest’ultima con il Parlamento Europeo e con il Consiglio. Prevista nei Trattati dell’Unione, la ICE è diventata una concreta opportunità per gli europei solo nel 2012, rimanendo tuttavia poco conosciuta dalla popolazione e poco utilizzata. Attraverso l’analisi dell'insieme delle proposte presentate nei primi 10 della sua implementazione, lo studio si pone l’obiettivo di capirne la natura e l’evoluzione nella prima fase di applicazione. Dai dati emerge che l’interesse per l’iniziativa cittadina europea non sia stato omogeneo nei 28 stati e che vi sia stato invece un coinvolgimento minore negli paesi di più recente ingresso nell'Ue. Il complesso delle policies promosse dai cittadini europei mostra una preponderanza di istanze post-materialistiche, orientate a difendere l’ambiente e i diritti civili e sociali ma anche le peculiarità nazionali. L’esplorazione delle iniziative disegna un’Europa nella quale accanto alle priorità politiche dell’Unione, se ne affiancano altre diverse, ritenute urgenti o solo desiderabili dai suoi abitanti.

Characterizing dw1335-29, a recently discovered dwarf satellite of M83

description: The number, distribution, and properties of dwarf satellites are crucial probes of the physics of galaxy formation at low masses and the response of satellite galaxies to the tidal and gas dynamical effects of their more massive parent.To make progress, it is necessary to augment and solidify the census of dwarf satellites of galaxies outside the Local Group. Müller et al. (2015) presented 16 dwarf galaxy candidates near M83, but lacking reliable distances, it is unclear which candidates are M83 satellites. Using red giant branch stars from the HST/GHOSTS survey in conjunction with ground-based images from VLT/VIMOS, we confirm that one of the candidates, dw1335-29-- with a projected distance of 26 kpc from M83 and a distance modulus of $(m - M)_0 = 28.5^{+0.3}_{-0.1}$ -- is a satellite of M83. We estimate an absolute magnitude $M_V = -10.1 \pm{0.4}$, an ellipticity of $0.40^{+0.14}_{-0.22}$, a half light radius of $656^{+121}_{-170 }$ pc, and [Fe/H] = $-1.3^{+0.3}_{-0.4}$. Owing to dw1335-29's somewhat irregular shape and possible young stars, we classify this galaxy as a dwarf irregular or transition dwarf. This is curious, as with a projected distance of 26 kpc from M83, dw1335-29 is expected to lack recent star formation. Further study of M83's dwarf population will reveal if star formation in its satellites is commonplace (suggesting a lack of a hot gas envelope for M83 that would quench star formation) or rare (suggesting that dw1335-29 has a larger M83-centric distance, and is fortuitously projected to small radii).

Publisher: name: De Europa

description: The Covid-19 pandemic challenged the ability of governments to communicate their decisions. The problems encountered highlighted country-specific and long-unresolved issues. The object of the research is Latvia's leading politicians who have profiles on the most popular social media in Latvia - Facebook. The aim of this paper is to analyze narratives of those members of the Government and the Saeima who held positions related to the areas affected by the pandemic and find out how they communicated about the problems of the European Union (EU) and related topics during the Covid-19 crisis. The research case is relevant because Latvians have one of the lowest trust rates in the national parties, the parliament and the government. Also, in the first half of 2021, Latvia faced one of the lowest vaccination rate in the EU. That has influenced the communication of politicians, as decision-making can happen taking into account the mood and perceptions of the population. The core values of the EU can be identified in the communication of Latvian politicians, permeating a wide range of issues, highlighting the importance of unity and mutual cooperation in the implementation of successful policies. Politicians don’t try to broaden the scope of values and goals, but it is possible to observe different interpretations of the breadth of values, adapting it to the position and political goal. Politicians also refer to the EU to cover own faults. The results are useful for comparing examples of political communication practices during Covid-19 crisis and the reference to European values ​​in National political discourses.

description: We analyse bill cosponsorship networks in the Italian Chamber of Deputies. In comparison with other parliaments, a distinguishing feature of the Chamber is the large number of political groups. Our analysis aims to infer the pattern of collaborations between these groups from data on bill cosponsorships. We propose an extension of stochastic block models for edge-valued graphs and derive measures of group productivity and of collaboration between political parties. As the model proposed encloses a large number of parameters, we pursue a penalized likelihood approach that enables us to infer a sparse reduced graph displaying collaborations between political parties.

description: Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit werden die Grenzflächen der Systeme Wasser-Propan, Glyzerin- Isobutan sowie die Oberflächen wässriger Salzlösungen untersucht. Die eingesetzten Untersuchungsmethoden sind die Röntgenreflektometrie sowie die diffuse Röntgenstreuung unter streifendem Einfall (GISAX). Die Motivation zur Untersuchung der Systeme Wasser-Propan und Glyzerin-Isobutan liegt einerseits in der Fragestellung, ob an der Wasser-Propan Grenzfläche die Bildung von Gashydrat beobachtet werden kann, andererseits ob die Ausbildung molekular dünner Filme auf den Substraten Wasser und Glyzerin durch das Kapillarwellenmodell beschrieben wird. Die Flüssigkeits-Gas Grenzfläche der wässrigen Natriumhalogenid Lösungen werden hinsichtlich ihrer vertikalen Dichtestruktur als auch ihrer lateralen Oberflächenstruktur betrachtet. Eine Formation von Gashydrat auf der Wasseroberfläche wird nicht beobachtet. Somit bestätigen sich bestehende Theorien zur Gashydratbildung an der Wasser-Gas Grenzfläche nicht. Die Gase Propan und Isobutan bilden durch Adsorption auf den Substraten Wasser und Glyzerin molekular dünne Filme aus. Deren Dicken können als Funktion des anliegenden Gasdruckes variiert werden. Die im Rahmen dieser Arbeit berechneten Oberflächenrauigkeiten der adsorbierten Filme liefern eine sehr gute Übereinstimmung mit dem Experiment. Die Untersuchung der lateralen Oberflächenstruktur wässriger Salzlösungen mittels diffuser Röntgenstreuung liefert eine Zunahme der Streuintensität bei kleinen Längenskalen, was mit einer Abnahme der der Oberflächenenergie bei diesen Längenskalen erklärt werden kann. Ein alternativer Ansatz zur theoretischen Beschreibung der diffusen Röntgenstreuung an Flüssigkeitsoberflächen wird vorgestellt.
Involvement of Young Citizens in Transnational Communications flows: Together for Europe

name: Parito, Maria Eugenia
Publisher: name: De Europa
Year: 2022

description: The article aims at analysing emerging communication flows of transnational public debate supported and promoted by European institutions. Innovative practices that involve youngsters are the main focus. The article presents a qualitative study conducted through the analysis of the together.eu initiative, a pan-European community promoted by the European Parliament after the 2019 elections. The research was supported by semi-structured in-depth interviews with some young Italian volunteers of the community and co-founders of independent organisations. The results show the ability of young people to play a sort of ambassadors or micro-influencers roles. In such experiences, European institutions work like a connecting point to bring young Europeans closer to each other and sometimes they operate as "activators" of participation. Nevertheless, young activists easily go beyond the institutional framework if they feel confident their own initiatives can reach their peers more effectively. An important caveat emerges in relation to these networks of communication: the young people involved appear to be those already interested in public debates on European issues.

description: We find that biorthogonal quantum mechanics with a scalar product that counts both absorbed and emitted particles leads to covariant position operators with localized eigenvectors. In this manifestly covariant formulation the probability for a transition from a one-photon state to a position eigenvector is the first order Glauber correlation function, bridging the gap between photon counting and the sensitivity of light detectors to electromagnetic energy density. The position eigenvalues are identified as the spatial parameters in the canonical quantum field operators and the position basis describes an array of localized devices that instantaneously absorb and re-emit bosons.

After developing a theoretical model that highlights the role of social networks and information spillovers with respect to the decision to begin cattle ranching, we use household data to estimate an econometric duration model of the determinants of pasture creation. Although pasture fits well with the typical household’s resource constraints, its continued expansion contributes to a hollow frontier dynamic in which the spread of low-value cattle ranching coincides with decreasing population.

Reacting to disinformation. The multilevel EU fact-checking approach
Creators: name: Belluati, Marinella
name: Fubini, Alice
Publisher: name: De Europa
Year: 2022

description: The main objective of this article is to investigate the multilevel approach promoted and adopted by the European Union as a response to the fake news phenomenon. On the one hand, the multilevel approach rests on the integration of different territorial levels (local, national and international). On the other hand, it adopts a multi-actor strategy aiming at the hybridisation of competences and increasingly consolidated network strategies, thus trying to overcome the main limitations and inefficiencies of fact-checking and debunking practices. This article, besides reconstructing from a longitudinal perspective the main stages of development and actions linked to the multilevel strategy, analyses its concrete operationalization within the fact-checking network of the European Digital Media Observatory (EDMO), a certified community of actors created in 2021, which counts 94 debunking projects spread across the various countries of the Union. Each project was analyzed with respect to 12 variables, which can be traced back to three dimensions, respectively: multi-territorial, multi-actor, and fact-checking practices. From the analysis, the following results emerge: regarding the multi-territoriality dimension, the EDMO network includes and integrates different territorial levels, but remains predominantly focused on the national dimension. Considering the multi-actor dimension, the research highlights that at the macro level the nature of the projects belonging to the network is varied, with an imbalance towards the private sector. Looking at the level of the individual actors (the micro level) involved, there is a low integration of professionalism and still a residual involvement of civil society. Finally, concerning the fact-checking practices the analysis reveals an excessive lack of homogeneity at the methodological level, highlighting the need to develop a common methodology at the European level.

description: Introduction: Residency interviews offer an opportunity for both candidates and programs to evaluate whether the pairing is a good fit. Multiple mini interviews (MMIs) have been incorporated into interviews for medical training as a way to evaluate non-cognitive abilities. Objectives: To determine how candidates perceived the interview process at our institution, specifically related to the MMIs. Methods: This retrospective review evaluated candidates’ perceptions of traditional interviews and MMIs through post-interview surveys over a 3-year period. Candidates evaluated the interview activities, time allowed for MMIs, and overall impression of the program during the 2-week period between submitting rank lists and the release of match results. Survey results are reported using descriptive statistics. Candidate perceptions on their ability to showcase skills in different types of interviews was evaluated with chi-square test. Results: The interview day increased the desire to pursue residency at our institution for 88% of candidates. Candidates reported similar ability to showcase skills developed during pharmacy school through the clinical and patient education MMIs compared to traditional interviews; however, they did not feel the collaboration MMI showcased their abilities as well as traditional MMIs. Conclusion: The introduction of MMIs to the residency interview day were perceived positively by most candidates and allowed candidates to showcase abilities in a different manner from traditional interviews.

description: The recent discovery of an earth-like planet around Proxima Centauri has drawn much attention to this star and its environment. We performed a series of observations of Proxima Centauri using SPHERE, the planet finder instrument installed at the ESO Very Large Telescope UT3, using its near infrared modules, IRDIS and IFS. No planet was directly detected but we set upper limits on the mass up to 7 au exploiting the AMES-COND models. Our IFS observations reveal that no planet more massive than ~6-7 M Jup can be present within 1 au. The dual band imaging camera IRDIS also enables us to probe larger separations than the other techniques like the radial velocity or astrometry. We obtained mass limits of the order of 4 M Jup at separations of 2 au or larger representing the most stringent mass limits at separations larger than 5 au available at the moment. We also did an attempt to estimate the radius of possible planets around Proxima using the reflected light. Since the residual noise for this observations are dominated by photon noise and thermal background, longer exposures in good observing conditions could further improve the achievable contrast limit.

description: Evolutionsstrategien (ES) ahmen Prinzipien der biologischen Evolution nach, um iterativ immer bessere Lösungen eines Optimierproblems zu erzeugen. Mangels umfassender theoretischer Ergebnisse untersucht diese Arbeit empirisch die externen Parameter von Evolutionsstrategien wie Rekombinationsart, Schrittweitenlernraten, Populationsgröße und Selektionsart anhand verschiedener Beispiel--Zielfunktionen. Eine erste systematische Untersuchung aller Rekombinationsarten und Schrittweitenlernraten zeigt, daß die Parameter nicht getrennt voneinander betrachtet werden können. Um den Abhängigkeiten dieser Parameter voneinander Rechnung zu tragen, wird eine Meta--Evolutionsstrategie entworfen, die mit dem Ziel einer möglichst großen Konvergenzgeschwindigkeit alle 8 möglichen Parameter gleichzeitig variiert. Die so parametrisierten Evolutionsstrategien konvergieren z.T. erheblich schneller als jene, die gemäß Literaturempfehlungen parametrisiert werden. Bei multimodalen Zielfunktionen war die resultierende Konvergenz nicht nur schneller, sondern sogar sicherer.

description: Following the results of the European elections in May 2019, the newly elected President of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, started her mandate issuing six political guidelines to set the work ahead for the European institutions during her five years mandate between 2019 and 2024. These political guidelines, focused on six headline ambitions, were inspired by the European Council’s strategic agenda and her discussions with the parliament’s political groups. A new push for European Democracy, her 6th priority, was mainly meant to give Europeans a stronger role in decision-making process and a more active role in setting political priorities, to offer the European Union and its Member States a joint approach to tackle fake news and disinformation, and to strengthen the Commission partnership with the European Parliament.

description: Bell inequalities have traditionally been used to demonstrate that quantum theory is nonlocal, in the sense that there exist correlations generated from composite quantum states that cannot be explained by means of local hidden variables. With the advent of device-independent quantum information protocols, Bell inequalities have gained an additional role as certificates of relevant quantum properties. In this work we consider the problem of designing Bell inequalities that are tailored to detect maximally entangled states. We introduce a class of Bell inequalities valid for an arbitrary number of measurements and results, derive analytically their tight classical, non-signalling and quantum bounds and prove that the latter is attained by maximally entangled states. Our inequalities can therefore find an application in device-independent protocols requiring maximally entangled states.

description: This three-year research project began in January 2014 and investigated whether, during the Victorian period, the professions formed a distinct self-sustaining social group with its own mores and values. The project looked at 16,000 individuals drawn from census data for Alnwick, Brighton, Bristol, Dundee, Greenock, Leeds, Merthyr Tydfil, Morpeth, and Winchester. The research project was funded by the UK Economic & Social Research Council and was based at the Universities of Oxford and Northumbria.

description: Проблема качественной подготовки сотрудников ОВД к выполнению служебных задач в экстремальных условиях деятельности, а в частности профессионально-психологической подготовки, актуальна не первый год. Об этом проблемном вопросе написано множество монографий, диссертаций, публикаций и т.д. Но актуальность при этом не снижается, а наоборот возрастает. Возможно причина этому динамично меняющийся мир преступного мира, как и мира в целом. И далеко не всегда представителям ОВД противостоят просто преступники, к числу противников относятся как отдельные вооруженные террористы, так и незаконные вооруженные формирования. В таких явно экстремальных условиях служебной деятельности роль и значение профессионально-психологической подготовки приобретает первостепенное значение. Но процесс, качество организации и проведения профессионально-психологической подготовки сотрудников ОВД существенно зависят от ряда факторов. Прежде всего, это фактор внешней и внутренней приближенности условий выполнения служебных обязанностей сотрудниками во время подготовки к реальным условиям, которые предстоят сотрудникам. Проведенные исследования качественных характеристик профессионально-психологической подготовки сотрудников ОВД к действиям в экстремальных условиях позволили выявить ряд проблемных аспектов проводимой подготовки сотрудников на практике. К этим проблемным аспектам проводимой подготовки относятся, прежде всего, вопросы экстремальной подготовки руководителей подразделений ОВД. В исследованиях отмечается недостаток в процессе профессионально-психологической подготовки руководителей специальных методик, психотехник, адресованных именно руководителям. Наибольшего внимания заслуживают проблемные аспекты еще двух разделов, профессионально-психологической подготовки посвященных формированию психологической (экстремальной) устойчивости сотрудников, умению предупреждать постстрессовые состояния, а также формированию сплоченности сотрудников ОВД. Материалы публикации детально рассматривают состояние качественных характеристик этих элементов профессионально-психологической подготовки сотрудников ОВД к экстремальным условиям деятельности.

description: Globimetula braunii, a major medicinal plant used in traditional medicine in Nigeria, was evaluated for possible effects on hepatic and hematologic indices in Wister albino rats. The crude methanol extract of the plant was successively fractionated with hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol and water. The MeOH extract of G. braunii and its fractions were administered to albino rats at a dose of 200 mg kg-1 body weight for 14 days. Assessments of liver function enzymes aspartate amino transferase (AST), alanine amino transaminase (ALT), as well as total and direct bilirubin levels were carried out. We observed significant increases (p≤0.05) in packed cell volume (PCV) and hemoglobin (Hb) in the rats treated with chloroform extract (CHCl3), ethyl acetate (EtOAc) and water (H2O) fractions. The red blood cell (RBC) count increased (p<0.05) after administration of CHCl3 and EtOAc fractions while white blood cell (WBC) count increased (p<0.05) in the crude and all its fractions except butanol. Significant decreases (p<0.05) in the activities of AST and ALT enzymes were observed in rats treated with chloroform fraction, while there was elevation in the activity of ALT in the butanol fraction group. There was no difference (p>0.05) in enzyme activities in the MeOH fraction. However, the administration of other fractions to the rats, led to increases (p<0.05) in the activities of both enzymes. Total and direct bilirubin showed increases (p<0.05) in EtOAc and hexane fractions while only direct bilirubin increased (p<0.05) in the crude fraction. The present study demonstrates that G. braunii chloroform fraction has an influence on hematologic functions and liver enzyme levels in rats.

description: Using a method to correct redshift space distortion (RSD) for individual galaxies, we mapped the real space distributions of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7). We use an ensemble of mock catalogs to demonstrate the reliability of our method. Here as the first paper in a series, we mainly focus on the two point correlation function (2PCF) of galaxies. Overall the 2PCF measured in the reconstructed real space for galaxies brighter than $^{0.1}{\rm M}_r-5\log h=-19.0$ agrees with the direct measurement to an accuracy better than the measurement error due to cosmic variance, if the reconstruction uses the correct cosmology. Applying the method to the SDSS DR7, we construct a real space version of the main galaxy catalog, which contains 396,068 galaxies in the North Galactic Cap with redshifts in the range $0.01 \leq z \leq 0.12$. The Sloan Great Wall, the largest known structure in the nearby Universe, is not as dominant an over-dense structure as appears to be in redshift space. We measure the 2PCFs in reconstructed real space for galaxies of different luminosities and colors. All of them show clear deviations from single power-law forms, and reveal clear transitions from 1-halo to 2-halo terms. A comparison with the corresponding 2PCFs in redshift space nicely demonstrates how RSDs boost the clustering power on large scales (by about $40-50\%$ at scales $\sim 10 h^{-1}{\rm {Mpc}}$) and suppress it on small scales (by about $70-80\%$ at a scale of $0.3 h^{-1}{\rm {Mpc}}$).

description: We have investigated the effects of the aqueous leaf extract of P. guajava on reduced glutathione (GSH) and alondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations in rats experimentally infected with Trypanosoma brucei brucei. The results obtained showed that the MDA concentrations in the serum and tissues of the infected animals were significantly increased (P<0.05) relative to the control (Table 2). However there was an insignificant difference in the GSH concentrations in the brain for the infected group and the infected but treated group relative to control (P>0.05) (Table 1). In contrast, a significant decrease (P<0.05) was observed for the GSH concentrations in the liver and kidney for the infected animals compared to the uninfected control and the infected but treated groups. The MDA concentrations in the serum and tissues of the infected but treated animals were significantly reduced when compared to the infected groups (P<0.05) (Table 2). In this study it was demonstrated that the aqueous extract was able to reduce the trypanosomosis associated lipid peroxidation as well as raise the level of GSH in the infected but treated animals significantly (P<0.05). We present evidence that the ability of the leaf extract of P. guajava to lower the MDA concentrations in the treatment group may be attributed to its antioxidant properties.

Quantum non-Gaussianity from a large ensemble of single photon emitters

description: Quantum attributes of light have been related to non-classicality so far, i. e. to incompatibility with mixtures of coherent states. The progress in quantum optics indicates that this feature does not suffice to witness exotic behavior of light. Contrary, quantum non-Gaussianity is starting to appear as a promising and applicable property reflecting interesting states of light that are suitable for quantum protocols. We investigate a newly introduced hierarchy of criteria of quantum non-Gaussianity and predict this attribute can be observed on light emitted from many single photon emitters, even if the light undergoes realistic optical losses. It contrasts negativity of Wigner function, that is unreachable in experimental platforms with losses above fifty percent.

description: Mitophagy regulates cancer stem cell (CSC) populations affecting tumorigenicity and malignancy in various cancer types. Here, we report that cisplatin treatment led to the activation of higher mitophagy through regulating CLU (clusterin) levels in oral CSCs. Moreover, both the gain-of-function and loss-of-function of CLU indicated its mitophagy-specific role in clearing damaged mitochondria. CLU also regulates mitochondrial fission by activating the Ser/Thr kinase AKT, which triggered phosphorylation of DNM1L/Drp1 at the serine 616 residue initiating mitochondrial fission. More importantly, we also demonstrated that CLU-mediated mitophagy positively regulates oral CSCs through mitophagic degradation of MSX2 (msh homeobox 2), preventing its nuclear translocation from suppressing SOX2 activity and subsequent inhibition of cancer stemness and self-renewal ability. However, CLU knockdown disturbed mitochondrial metabolism generating excessive mitochondrial superoxide, which improves the sensitivity to cisplatin in oral CSCs. Notably, our results showed that CLU-mediated cytoprotection relies on SOX2 expression. SOX2 inhibition through genetic (shSOX2) and pharmacological (KRX-0401) strategies reverses CLU-mediated cytoprotection, sensitizing oral CSCs toward cisplatin-mediated cell death.
