Should we split? Using covert muscle activation as a mean to separate action cancellation processes in a novel stop signal task : a behavioural and neuroimaging study
Creators: name: Pash, Luke
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2024

description: The ability to cancel already initiated movement in response to new stimuli is crucial for traversing our world. Common testing of individuals using the Stop-Signal Task (SST) uses an adaptive ‘staircase’ of stop signal presentation to achieve 50% accuracy on stop trials to ensure reactive responses. However, this staircasing of signal presentation may be confounding behavioural and cortical results due to the potential inclusion of trials that did not require activation of the inhibitory network. Through electromyography (EMG) researchers can register when a participant executed a partial burst of muscle activation that was cancelled before the movement was finalised (a partial burst). In this study, participants (N=30) completed a variant of the SST whilst attached to EMG and fNIRS equipment to measure partial burst presence and cortical activation levels between three distinct brain regions. Subsequent EMG data was used to partition trials by the presence of partial bursts to assess if significant behaviour and cortical differences could be found between trials with and without partial EMG activation. Behavioural results indicate that when partitioned by partial burst presence, that both ignore and stop trials had significantly slower reaction times than trials without partial bursts (p<.001). Qualitative inspection of fNIRS traces revealed possible significant differences in activation levels between successful stop trials with and without partial bursts, and minimal activation level difference in ignore trials with and without partial bursts. Specific brain regions were associated with neurally distinct activations for both stop and ignore trials with and without partial bursts.

Ps and fs lasers were used to understand the response of stained-glasses to the radiation, analyzing the different levels of damage that the laser can induce on the glass sample (chemical, mechanical or thermal) depending on the laser wavelength. In addition, the adequate selection of the laser parameters that can limit the maximum temperature reached on the glass surface due to heat accumulation, avoiding crack generation due to thermal stresses created during laser cleaning was presented.
TESS Experiments: Perceptions of Islam, Migration, and Citizenship in the United States: A List Experiment
Creators: name: Creighton, Mathew J.
Publisher: name: Roper Center for Public Opinion Research
Year: 2022

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to measure disparities in attitudes towards legal Muslim immigrants vs legal Christian immigrants in the United States. The 3290 respondents were divided into three experimental conditions and one control condition. In the control condition, respondents were given a list of three relatively non-controversial items and asked how many of the items they opposed, after which they were asked a direct question about their opposition to Muslim and Christian immigrants. In each experimental condition, respondents were given a list of items consisting of the three non-controversial items asked of the control group (in a randomized order) in addition to the controversial item and asked the number of items to which they were opposed. The difference in the mean number of items reported between the treatment and control groups represents the proportion of respondents who found the controversial item important. This allowed for an examination of how Muslim and Christian immigrants are viewed differently, as well as any disparities in respondents’ willingness to be openly critical of those groups.

description: Historians are increasingly studying and digitizing runaway slave advertisements in the United States as evidence of resistance to slavery. Runaway advertisements were typically written by former enslavers in the American antebellum era to offer monetary rewards for the capture and return of enslaved people. These were essentially sources of terror used for the purposes of re-enslavement, yet historians can read them against the grain to uncover the fuller lives of these escaping individuals. Digital historians in particular can utilize these sources for mapping, text analysis, and social network analysis, and digital mapping is especially useful because runaway advertisements typically included geographic locations associated with the enslaver and escapee. Yet, these advertisements remain deeply embedded in bias and terror, so corroborating them with other primary sources such as autobiographies, slave narratives, and abolitionist newspaper articles can help to map out more complete journeys of people who escaped slavery in the antebellum U.S. This poster suggests the different ethical issues of datafying sources from slavery’s archive, demonstrates the digital process of quantifying varied sources to create a curated dataset, and uses spatial visualizations to provide new insights about mobility in both slavery and freedom.
Cultura politica di partito e cultura politica nazionale: il caso del Pci nella Prima Repubblica

Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Firenze
Year: 2016

description: In the paper we are explaining those aspects of the Italian Communist Party, that, thanks to the particular organized structure, contributed, in a meaningful way, to outline some characteristic features of the Italian political culture. There are four aspects of them: the first one was represented by a strong level of ideologism that for reaction and contamination passed from its main centre of diffusion (which was just the P.C.I) to the other actors of the Italian party system, whose high level of ideologization produced models of interpretation of problems and of decisions, elaboration and planning, about not so much pragmatic plans; on the contrary, concerning rhetoric or propagandistic approaches.A second, relevant effect to which contributed in this case not only the political communist culture, we are analyzing above all from this point of view: it was constituted by the leadership exerced by the political parties that acquired in the symbolic values of the Italians universe as regards the other components of the Political system; the consequences of this situation we are going to analyze in the paper.A third element was the strong statalism which constituted the political culture of the country at least till the end of seventies.The fourth factor spread by the political communist culture was given by the egualitarianism. It assumed a relevant role at the organizing and structural level concerning the burocratic machinery; the values connected to it not always produced good results in efficiency, in resources optimization and productivity.

On the Social Morphogenesis of Citizenship: A Relational Approach
Creators: name: Donati, Pierpaolo
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Firenze
Year: 2016

description: The paper deals with the issue of the mutations in citizenship as they emerge from the crisis of the nation-state and the speeding up of the globalization processes. Within modernity, nation-states have put peculiar socio-cultural identities and larger solidarities in deep conflict, so that no real common citizenship could be achieved. With the advent of globalization and multiculturalism, we witness the fading away of statist citizenship due to a multiplicity of factors. By resorting to the morphogenetic approach, the author tries to explain why and how a transmodern (societal) citizenship is emerging, which changes the old forms of citizenship. The new forms of citizenship stem from civil society rather than from the nation-state. New interdependences and links between ‘local’ identities and ‘broader’ solidarities are building up a post-lib/lab citizenship, based upon unprecedented relational practices in dealing with social issues. The morphogenetic processes generate di erent modalities of con guring citizenship in different contexts. From a sociological viewpoint, a new societal semantics is emerging, according to which citizenship becomes a complex of rights and duties not only of individuals but also of social groups capable of reconciling self-management practices and collective goals. The name of this new game is societal citizenship, one that promotes civil and social autonomies through which citizenship can be pursued as a relational good.

description: A new series of C-14 curcumol derivatives as potent anticancer agents were designed and synthesized by click reaction, whose structures were confirmed by 1H NMR,13C NMR, and HRMS analysis. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for in vitro antitumor activity against colorectal cancer cell lines SW620 and HCT116. Most of them exhibited higher inhibitory activity than curcumol. Especially, compound 3j shows good inhibitory activity against SW620 with IC50 value of 8.10 ± 0.13 μM. The structure–activity relationships (SARs) of these derivatives were discussed. In addition, flow cytometry revealed that compound 3j induced SW620 cells apoptosis by facilitating apoptosis-related proteins expressions. Our findings suggested that fluorine functional group on phenyl ring tended to increase the anticancer activity.

A Reflection on Material Citizenship
Creators: name: Grifone Baglioni, Lorenzo
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Firenze
Year: 2016

description: The concept of citizenship is central to European history and has great resonance. It does however bear the weight an ‘original sin’, its derivation from the idea of the nation: a relationship worth reviewing in the light of the dynamics of present-day society. Furthermore, the polysemic nature of citizenship can di use its meaning and reduce e ective analysis. With this in mind, the present paper, after having explored the origins of citizenship and reviewed its development, proposes a de nition in material terms. The question of status, pre-eminent in the juridical approach, is of lesser importance in the present sociological interpretation of citizenship, concentrating as it does on individual practices. Rights allow the individual access to certain social resources (which ones?) but capitals determines the quantity of social resources the person may draw on (how many?). Together, rights and capitals shape the capabilities that each person converts into functionings in daily life – that is into the practices of citizenship, but only in those cases when the individual’s behaviour is compatible with the norms of the community.

Cittadinanza formale e cittadinanza dal basso. Un rapporto dinamico
Creators: name: Ambrosini, Maurizio
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Firenze
Year: 2016

description: The permanent settlement of immigrants of foreign origin, and then the formation of the second and third generations, has long contributed to re-launching the debate on the content and limits of the institution of citizenship, bringing into question the close connection with the national states. The increasing number and the growing diversity of the legal status of foreigners residing in the territory of sovereign states blurs the dividing lines between insiders and outsiders. Therefore this raises questions about the criteria and ways of participation of residents in the community of citizens, with all the obligations and benefits that derive from it. After having considered the citizenship ‘from above’, that is in terms of the type of rights granted to foreign residents, their extent, timing and modes of access, the article presents a more recent branch of studies that starts ‘from below’, i.e. from the point of view of actual practices to access and use, re-interpretations and negotiations of the contents of citizenship: processes in which migrants and refugees take active roles at various levels and in different ways, both individual and collective.

La sfida delle civiltà sulla democrazia e i diritti umani
Creators: name: Cotesta, Vittorio
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Firenze
Year: 2016

description: The diffusion of human rights and democracy in the entire world is an ambiguous phenomenon: human rights and democracy are differently conceived in each culture and civilization. In the Universal Declaration of Human Rights human rights are qualities of human beings independently of their race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. In the Universal Islamic Declaration of Human Rights “Human rights […] are firmly rooted in the belief that God, and God alone, is the Law Giver and the Source of all human rights”. In the so called African renaissance there is an autonomous foundation of human rights, they are conceived as the best expression of Akan and Ubuntu culture. In the Confucian Renaissance there is a new proposition of Confucianism as a philosophical vision of the world and also a new perspective on the human rights. The truth is that cultural pluralism is an universal phenomenon: only the dialogue can guarantee peace and order.

description: For a long time, the reflection on the theme of global citizenship has interested institutions and intellectuals committed to give answers to humanitarian crises. The primary purpose of this essay is to give back a realistic image of rights’ denial. The second purpose of this essay is to inquiry about the dynamics which give rise to global inequalities. At last our aim is to show the first real occurring signs of change in the global geopolitical panorama. The most evident result of this change is the more and more important role of the continental and supranational unions which are helping us to build the global citizenship; the second element regards the activities concerning the Global Citizenship Education (gced); the third change has to do with the massive programs and donations from the nonprofit organization (npo); the fourth and last evidence is all what concerns the newborn Fourth Industrial Revolution and the potential of technological innovations.

Social Citizenship in the Context of Europeanization and Growing Inequalities: An Empirical Contribution to the Theoretical Debate
Creators: name: Leonardi, Laura

Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Firenze
Year: 2016

description: The political and economic crisis of Europe and the austerity programs within EU countries have brought back to center the issues of inequality and social justice in Europe that during the Twentieth century have been addressed through the institutionalization of social citizenship. Europeanization and globalization challenge social cohesion and alters the basic institutions on which social citizenship was constructed in welfare societies. Starting from the results of an empirical study, the aim of this article is to give new impulses to the theoretical reflection on social citizenship as a distinct issue, although related with the concept of citizenship. The focus of the analysis is on members of transnational civil society organizations and their ideas and practices enhancing new forms of a more inclusive and sustainable social citizenship. Conclusions discuss how social bonds and solidarity are reframed transnationally across national, regional, European and global borders, and the implications of this process for the reformulation of the concept of social citizenship.

description: Abstract. What is the influence of glacial processes in driving erosion and uplift across the European Alps? It has largely been argued that repeated erosion and glaciation sustain isostatic uplift and topography in a decaying orogen. But some parts of the Alps may still be actively uplifting via deep lithospheric processes. We add insight to this debate by isolating the role of post-glacial topographic forcing on erosion rates. To do this, we quantify the topographic signature of past glaciation on millennial-scale erosion rates in previously glaciated and unglaciated catchments at the easternmost edge of the Austrian Alps. Newly measured catchment-wide erosion rates, determined from cosmogenic 10Be in river-borne quartz, correlate with basin relief and mean slope. GIS-derived slope–elevation and slope–area distributions across catchments provide clear topographic indicators of the degree of glacial preconditioning, which further correlates with erosion rates. Erosion rates in the easternmost, non-glaciated basins range from 40 to 150 mm ky−1 and likely reflect underlying tectonic forcings in this region, which have previously been attributed to recent (post 5 Ma) uplift. By contrast, erosion rates in previously glaciated catchments range from 170 to 240 mm ky−1 and reflect the erosional response to local topographic preconditioning by repeated glaciations. Together, these data suggest that Holocene erosion across the Eastern Alps is strongly shaped by the local topography relict from previous glaciations. Broader, landscape-wide forcings, such as the widely debated deep mantle-driven or isostatically driven uplift, result in lesser controls on both topography and erosion rates in this region. Comparing our data to previously published erosion rates across the Alps, we show that post-glacial erosion rates vary across more than 2 orders of magnitude. This high variation in post-glacial erosion may reflect combined effects of direct tectonic and modern climatic forcings but is strongly overprinted by past glacial climate and its topographic legacy.

Friend or Foe? Attitudes Towards Immigration from Other European Union Countries

description: Over the decades Europe has become a destination for different groups of migrants, including mobile citizens from the European Union Member States. At the same time European citizens have become more mobile with a growing number of cross-border practices connecting them to places and people abroad through migration, travel, social networks or consumption practices. The main contribution of this study is in analysing to what extent processes of Europeanization, at an individual and country level, matter for sentiments towards immigration. Data suggest that social globalization processes may produce a sense of threat, but individual transnationalism seems to provide a remedy against prejudice.

description: The article analyses reasons and context of the decision not to naturalise, made by long-term immigrants in Poland. The text encompasses description of the legal context of naturalisation in Poland, statistical data about long-term residents from various diasporas and number of citizenship acquisitions. The article focuses on four case studies of migrants from the United Kingdom, Lithuania, Vietnam and India in order to examine and interpret the declared reasons of the lack of naturalisation. In general, three types of reasons are distinguished: psychological (lack of sufficient sense of belonging), bureaucratic (costs, length and complicated character of the procedure) and legal-political (prohibition of dual citizenship in the country of origin, possession of a status of a permanent resident).

The important controversy that has been triggered by its introduction in secondary school curriculum is a matter of interrogation: Why did Spain react differently than other European countries? The argument put forward in this article is that education for citizenship reveals the impossibility for Spain to provide a stabilised and consensual definition of national values and identity, precisely because the country is characterised by unresolved questions about its territorial and national diversity, and exemplifies multiple diversity challenges. After providing a European contextualisation of questions of religious and values teaching in Spain, we present a chronology of the controversy and then analyse the public debate in terms of limits to tolerance. We will show that the question of the shared public values highlighted by this conflict is still unsolved and remain non-consensual in the Spanish society.

The role of the medical social worker in the treatment of epilepsy : an exploratory study of cases from the Seizure Clinic of the Vancouver General Hospital
Creators: name: Rabinovitch, Gertrude
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Medical science has done much to bring epilepsy out of the realm of mysticism and misconception, into the area of normal and natural diseases; but many persons subject to seizures experience difficulty in their attempts to live as others do. It is the purpose of this thesis to examine the ways in which medical social work can help them achieve this end. The setting-up and the purpose of the Seizure Clinic of the Vancouver General Hospital is described. An examination of the social situations of fifty-three persons who were referred to the social worker during a period of seventeen months, for various kinds of help, reveals the problems which epilepsy presents to this group of people. There are numerous examples of difficulties associated with (a) parental attitudes, (b) social relationships, (c) employment, and (d) marriage. The material indicates-clearly, that blanket statements regarding "epileptics" in general, are unfair and untrue. Each is an individual who requires help with his particular difficulties. Analysis of the cases reveals that the medical social worker can contribute to the treatment of epilepsy by (a) enabling the physician to understand the patients social .situation as it affects his medical condition and his attitude toward medical treatment; (b) correcting the patient's misconceptions toward his illness, alleviating anxiety regarding treatment, and generally enabling him to obtain the greatest benefit from medical treatment; (c) helping the patient understand and accept his handicap; (d) helping parents develop healthy, attitudes toward handicapped children, in order that they may be prepared to assume the responsibilities of adulthood; (e) familiarizing persons in the community with the facts regarding epilepsy and thus eventually reducing the stigma associated with the illness. The casework methods used by the social worker include, (a) modifying the environment, (b) psychological support, (c) clarification, and (d) insight. There is sufficient evidence in this study that medical social work can in various ways and to varying degrees, help epileptic persons to be useful members of the communities in which they live.

description: Since the Middle Horizon the Khipu, or cord writing, of Peru has employed standardised signs. The Inka empire further extended the Khipu for the recording of various aspects of mundane and ritual life. Later, hybrid Khipu combining alphabetic with Indigenous Khipu script, such as the Khipu Boards of Mangas and Casta, were used in the central Andes from the sixteenth century until the middle of the twentieth century. Using a multidisciplinary approach, I triangulated archaeometry (statistical analysis) of the first digital record of the alphabetic Khipu from the community of Mangas in Ancash, with ethnoarchaeology and ethnomethodology at the community of San Pedro de Casta in Huarochirí of Lima. I compare the Mangas Khipu Board with Middle-Horizon Khipu and I look at the use of Khipu Boards through material and ethnographic analysis. Prioritising Indigenous perspectives, I explore the multidimensionality of work tribute registered on the hybrid Khipu of Mangas and Casta to detect sign redundancy and offer an interpretation of their meaning (semantic decipherment). I demonstrate how non-hierarchical structures have been overlooked with the assumption that Khipu structures are hierarchically nested. I develop complex ethnomodels, applicable to other Khipu exhibiting multilevel structures beyond those of the ethnographic context, for the purpose of aiding Khipu methodology and towards a ‘multilevel turn’ in mixed-methods anthropology.
Farewell to Welfare: An End to Citizenship as We Know It

description: The crisis of the welfare state has been a widely discussed topic since at least the 1970s both in the social sciences and in political debate. It is not my intention to readdress it or to analyze the many diagnoses of the meaning and scope of the crisis: there is a huge amount of literature on this and I do not aim to add another contribution. Rather I would like to investigate the reasons that led to the wide acceptance among the public in Western Europe (and probably elsewhere) of the dismantling of certain features of the welfare state. To this end, I shall focus on the discourses that justified this process and that have provided a major shift in the political vocabulary from the grammar of (social) rights to the grammar of performance and (state) services. In other words, I shall concentrate on the paradigm change from a Keynesian model of welfare state to a ‘neoliberal’ model of personal responsibility. This change of paradigm threatens the very idea of citizenship as we have known it for centuries.

description: Αυτή η εργασία διερευνά την ενσωμάτωση της Τεχνητής Νοημοσύνης (AI) στη διδασκαλία της Γεωγραφίας, με ιδιαίτερη έμφαση στην ενίσχυση της κατανόησης των πολιτισμικών διαφορών από τους μαθητές καθώς και της ενθάρρυνσης της ενεργού συμμετοχής. Η μελέτη εξετάζει την αποτελεσματικότητα ενός εκπαιδευτικού σεναρίου που εφαρμόζεται με εργαλεία τεχνητής νοημοσύνης, συμπεριλαμβανομένου του ChatGPT, σε ένα περιβάλλον τάξης. Η έρευνα διερευνά πολλούς βασικούς τομείς: τον αντίκτυπο του σεναρίου στην κατανόηση των βασικών εννοιών Γεωλογίας και Γεωγραφίας από τους μαθητές, ο ρόλος της τεχνητής νοημοσύνης στη διευκόλυνση της αναζήτησης και επεξεργασίας πληροφοριών, η επίδραση των συλλογικών δραστηριοτήτων στη συμμετοχή των μαθητών και η ανάπτυξη δεξιοτήτων κριτικής σκέψης. . Τα ευρήματα δείχνουν ότι το εκπαιδευτικό σενάριο ενισχυμένο με AI βελτίωσε σημαντικά την κατανόηση των εννοιών της Γεωλογίας και της Γεωγραφίας από τους μαθητές, με την πλειοψηφία των μαθητών να επιτυγχάνει άριστες ή καλές επιδόσεις. Επιπλέον, η χρήση του ChatGPT διαπιστώθηκε ότι είναι ένα πολύτιμο εργαλείο για την ενίσχυση των ερευνητικών δεξιοτήτων των μαθητών, επιτρέποντας πιο εις βάθος εξερεύνηση και κατανόηση των θεμάτων. Οι συνεργατικές δραστηριότητες ενθάρρυναν ένα ισχυρό αίσθημα ομαδικής εργασίας και συμμετοχής μεταξύ των μαθητών, ενώ συνέβαλαν επίσης στη βαθύτερη εκτίμηση και σεβασμό για τις πολιτισμικές διαφορές. Παρά τα θετικά αποτελέσματα, η μελέτη αναγνωρίζει αρκετούς περιορισμούς, συμπεριλαμβανομένου του μικρού μεγέθους δείγματος μεταξύ των συμμετεχόντων, που μπορεί να επηρεάσει τη γενίκευση των αποτελεσμάτων. Η εργασία αυτή ολοκληρώνεται τονίζοντας την ανάγκη για περαιτέρω έρευνα με μεγαλύτερα, πιο διαφορετικά δείγματα για την επικύρωση των ευρημάτων. Μελλοντικές μελέτες θα πρέπει επίσης να διερευνήσουν την εφαρμογή παρόμοιων εκπαιδευτικών σεναρίων ενισχυμένης με AI σε διαφορετικά εκπαιδευτικά πλαίσια για την αξιολόγηση της ευρύτερης εφαρμογής τους. Συνοπτικά, αυτή η έρευνα υπογραμμίζει τη δυνατότητα της τεχνητής νοημοσύνης να μεταμορφώσει την εκπαίδευση στη Γεωγραφία προωθώντας την πολιτιστική κατανόηση και δέσμευση, ενώ προσδιορίζει επίσης τομείς για μελλοντική εξερεύνηση για την πλήρη συνειδητοποίηση των πλεονεκτημάτων της τεχνητής νοημοσύνης στην εκπαίδευση.

description: Primary productivity of forest ecosystems depends on the availability of plant-essential mineral nutrients. Because nutrient demand of trees often exceeds nutrient supply from rock, tree nutrition is sustained by efficient reutilization of organic-bound nutrients. These nutrients are continuously returned from trees to the forest floor in litterfall. However, over millennia nutrient limitation may develop in landscapes from which nutrients are permanently lost by drainage and erosion. Such a deficit is prevented if advection of unweathered bedrock toward the surface as driven by erosion continuously supplies fresh nutrients. Yet the mechanisms and the depth range over which this deep nutrient resource is accessed are poorly known. We show that in two montane temperate forest ecosystems in the Black Forest and Bavarian Forest the geogenic source of nutrients was found within a depth zone of several meters. This deep zone contains a large pool of biologically available nutrients. We applied isotope ratios as proxies for nutrient uptake depth, and we tracked the regolith depth at which the isotope ratios of(87)Sr/Sr-86 and(10)Be(meteoric)/Be-9 match the respective values in plant tissue. We mapped the depth distribution of the biologically available calcium-bound form of the most plant-essential mineral nutrient phosphorus and found that the depth of phosphorus availability is as deep or even deeper as the range defined by the isotope ratios. We conclude that nutrient supply from a regolith depth of several meters is critical for forest ecosystem function in landscapes of moderate hillslopes and rainfall that are affected by permanent nutrient loss.
Citizenship and Arbitrary Law-Making: On the Quaintness of Non-national Disenfranchisement
Creators: name: Mindus, Patricia
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Firenze
Year: 2016

description: The paper explores forms of arbitrariness in relation to citizenship and migration policies. Non-national disenfranchisement follows from certain migration policies, and these may be cast as an arbitrary form of domination, that may undermine political legitimacy. Political exclusion is the vertex of a chain of other forms of exclusion: the denizenship of the politically powerless is particularly bothersome because liberal-democratic systems lack incentives to promote their rights. We have singled out the specificity and quaintness of the argumentative strategy employed to sustain non-national disenfranchisement. It differs from other argumentations in favour of disenfranchisement because it is not framed in derogatory terms and shifts the burden of proof from the state over to the individual.
