The attractiveness of emotion expressions
Creators: name: Beall, Alec Trevor
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This research included two sets of studies examining the relative sexual attractiveness of individuals showing several distinct emotion expressions. In the first set of studies, we examined the extent to which men and women find members of the opposite sex displaying expressions of happiness, pride, and shame, compared with a neutral control, sexually attractive. In the second set of studies, we probed into the mechanisms underlying a somewhat surprising finding from the first set of studies, that male displays of shame are particularly attractive to North American women. Finally, we tested whether women’s attraction to high-status men-- a possible factor underlying the attractiveness of pride and shame—varies across cultures. Across all five studies, using different images and samples ranging broadly in age and ethnicity (total N =1273), several findings emerged. First, there was a large gender difference in the sexual attractiveness of happy displays: happiness was the most attractive female emotion expression, and one of the least attractive in males. In contrast, pride showed the reverse pattern. Second, shame displays were relatively attractive in both genders, and, among some women judges, male shame was more attractive than male happiness, and not substantially less than male pride. Third, American women at high-conception risk were less attracted to men showing shame than low-conception risk women, suggesting that male shame displays may be indicative of poorer genetic fitness. Fourth, Indian women were found to be less attracted to men showing shame than American women, further suggesting that American women’s attraction to shame-displaying men is due to socio-cultural factors. Fifth, status was found to be more relevant to male attractiveness among Indian than American women, suggesting that shame’s low-status message is less problematic for its attractiveness among American women. Overall, this research provides the first evidence that distinct emotion expressions have divergent effects on sexual attractiveness, which vary by gender but largely hold across age. These findings also provide an explanatory account of the attractiveness of male shame found among several North American samples; this pattern is best explained by cultural factors and cannot be accounted for by biological factors.

description: For $m \in {\mathbb N}$, let $S_m$ be the Suzuki curve defined over ${\mathbb F}_{2^{2m+1}}$. It is well-known that $S_m$ is supersingular, but the p-torsion group scheme of its Jacobian is not known. The a-number is an invariant of the isomorphism class of the p-torsion group scheme. In this paper, we compute a closed formula for the a-number of $S_m$ using the action of the Cartier operator on $H^0(S_m,Ω^1)$.

description: Antibody-based immunotherapies are a class of therapeutics under active investigation in clinical trials for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Our review provides a comprehensive examination of trials published to date, focusing on recurrent challenges and promising aspects of antibody-based therapeutics. We described antibody-based immunotherapies for AML, specifically, an overview of the most prominent antigen targets in published clinical trials investigating monoclonal antibodies, antibody–drug conjugates, bispecific antibodies, and chimeric antigen receptor therapies. Manuscripts and abstracts describing clinical trials investigating antibody-based therapies for AML published through December 2024, identified by searching Google Scholar and PubMed, were included. Antibody-based immunotherapies for AML have encountered limitations, including imperfect target antigens with significant associated toxicity such as myelosuppression, in addition to challenges specific to the AML patient population. The majority of trials have targeted CD33, CD123, CD371 (CLL1/Clec12), and CD47. For successful implementation of antibody-based therapeutics in AML treatment, future directions require creative applications of antibody-based therapeutics specifically engineered to minimize limiting toxicities and tailoring of therapies for this unique patient population.

description: In ways never seen before, data is taking over and transforming the all-healthcare sphere. Related to emerging artificial intelligence technologies, they hold the potential to establish the groundwork for a novel medical paradigm that prioritizes the uniqueness of every individual. Encouraging the reader to learn more about data-driven initiatives in the health industry, this paper is structured into four sections. Part one presents three ideologies that, although they overlap in certain areas, offer distinct perspectives on the use of data to ensure that each individual receives a personalized health care. The idea of data-driven design is examined in section two. The growing difficulties in handling vast amounts of data and their effects on people, organizations, and society are linked to innovations in other fields like AI and customized healthcare. The third half of the paper addresses the ethical and legal issues raised by artificial intelligence, a new technology that is starting to disrupt the health sector. In conclusion, section four details how the healthcare sector has developed into a significant testing ground for AI applications, with venture capitalists and entrepreneurs realizing the immense potential this technology can provide.

Data is changing the healthcare industry in particular and the economic landscape in general in ways that are unprecedented. When combined with state-of-the-art technologies such as sophisticated intelligence systems, it has the capacity to create a new medical paradigm that is centered on the individual needs of each patient. However, current healthcare solutions far too frequently result in poor patient outcomes and ineffective decision-making. In order to provide more individualized, efficient, and successful healthcare solutions, we require improved decision-making. How should we walk this path? Is it possible to predict health condition more accurately and to a wider audience at the same time? How can we make these solutions available to the wider public without sacrificing novelty and privacy? In our paper and presentation, we address these issues

description: We derive the main physical galaxy properties: mass, halo radius, phase space density and velocity dispersion from a semiclassical gravitational approach in which fermionic WDM is treated quantum mechanically. They turn out to be compatible with observations. Pauli Principle implies for the fermionic DM phase-space density Q(r) = rho(r)/sigma^3(r) the quantum bound Q(r) < K m^4/hbar^3, where m is the DM particle mass, sigma(r) is the DM velocity dispersion and K is a pure number of order one which we estimate. N-body galaxy simulations produce a divergent Q(r) at r = 0 violating this quantum bound. Combining this bound with the behaviour of Q(r) from simulations, the virial and galaxy data on Q implies lower bounds on the halo radius and a minimal distance r_{min} at which classical dynamics for DM fermions breaks down. This quantum bound rules out the presence of galaxy cusps for fermionic WDM, in agreement with astronomical observations, which show that the DM halos are cored. We show that compact dwarf galaxies are quantum objects supported against gravity by the fermionic WDM quantum pressure. Quantum mechanical calculations become necessary to compute galaxy structures at kpc scales and below. Classical N-body simulations are not valid at scales below r_{min}. We apply the Thomas-Fermi semiclassical approach to fermionic WDM galaxies and find the physical magnitudes: mass, halo radius, phase-space density, velocity dispersion, consistent with observations especially for compact dwarf galaxies. Namely, fermionic WDM treated quantum mechanically, as it must be, reproduces the sizes of the observed cores. The lightest known galaxy Willman I implies a lower bound for the WDM particle mass m > 0.96 keV. These results and the observed galaxies with halo radius > 30 pc and halo mass > 4 10^5 M_sun provide further indication that the WDM particle mass m is in the range 1-2 keV.

description: To uncover underlying mechanism of collective human dynamics, we survey more than 1.8 billion blog entries and observe the statistical properties of word appearances. We focus on words that show dynamic growth and decay with a tendency to diverge on a certain day. After careful pretreatment and fitting method, we found power laws generally approximate the functional forms of growth and decay with various exponents values between -0.1 and -2.5. We also observe news words whose frequency increase suddenly and decay following power laws. In order to explain these dynamics, we propose a simple model of posting blogs involving a keyword, and its validity is checked directly from the data. The model suggests that bloggers are not only responding to the latest number of blogs but also suffering deadline pressure from the divergence day. Our empirical results can be used for predicting the number of blogs in advance and for estimating the period to return to the normal fluctuation level.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The status of the spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) stock in the US portion of the Northwest Atlantic has become a contentious issue. Distributed from Maine to Florida, this species was once considered to be the most abundant shark throughout its US range. As a result of reported declines below biomass threshold levels, in early 2000 the Mid-Atlantic, New England Fishery Management Councils, and Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission implemented a management plan which imposed annual quotas and possession limits for vessels fishing in both Federal and State waters. Because of characteristics such as slow growth, extended gestation period, small litter size, and a spawning-stock biomass (SSB) below threshold levels as recent as 2005, the spiny dogfish population was not anticipated to rebound for more than a decade. Recent Northeast Fishery Science Center (NEFSC) survey data, however, suggest a fourfold increase in SSB has occurred between 2005 and 2009. Based on the aforementioned life-history characteristics, this substantial increase in biomass is considered to be biologically unrealistic. Preliminary data are presented to support hypotheses that are divergent to common paradigms it is hypothesized that: (i) the biologically unrealistic increases in SSB may be caused, in part, by a substantially more active vertical movement pattern that prevents this species from being effectively captured by NEFSC otter trawl surveys, and (ii) the gestation period of spiny dogfish may be less than the proposed 22 months and that there may also be regionally different reproductive cycles across this species’ US range.

description: To investigate the transport properties of iron based superconductors, we prepared planar hybrid superconductor-normal metal-superconductor (SNS') thin film junctions with BaFe1.8Co0.2As2 as base electrode. As counter electrode we used a lead indium alloy, while the normal metal layer was formed by thin gold films. Temperature dependent measurements of the electrical conductivity were strongly influenced by the properties of the electrodes. We developed a junction structure that allows us to characterize the electrodes, too, including the behavior of their normal state resistance in order to correct their influences on the conduction spectra. The corrected conductivity of the junction was described within an extended BTK-model and shows a behavior dominated by Andreev reflexion.

description: Based on 𝛽 and σ convergence analysis, we find high persistence of technological gap for

international innovation indices reported by the European Commission. Our research confirms

the diverging scientific potential across the analyzed economies. On the other hand, estimation

provides the evidence of convergence in case of R&D expenses and relative position on global

technological frontier. We propose a simple fixed effect panel regression measuring relative

innovativeness potential. Our model suggests that current ranking leaders i.e. Nordic countries

(Sweden, Denmark and Finland) and Germany are likely to further outpace the United States.

Central and Eastern Europe countries are achieving greatest relative gains, but are unlikely to

exceed 70% of US potential. Peripheral Europe countries, South Africa, Turkey and Russia are

projected to further lose innovativeness position, despite weaker initial position.

To show that this is a robust result, we here consider a new interaction from the literature that was used to discuss even-even and odd-even nuclei. We here apply it to an odd-odd nucleus.

description: For nonlinear models of an Abelian vector supermultiplet coupled to N = 2 supergravity in four dimensions, we formulate the self-duality equation which expresses invariance under U(1) duality rotations. In the flat space limit, this equation reduces to the N = 2 self-duality equation proposed in hep-th/0001068. We also give an example of a self-dual locally supersymmetric model containing a higher-derivative extension of the Born-Infeld action at the component level.

description: We consider (2+1)-dimensional (N, M)-extended higher-spin anti-de Sitter supergravity and study its asymptotic symmetries. The theory is described by the Chern-Simons action based on a real, infinite-dimensional higher-spin superalgebra. We specify consistent boundary conditions on the higher-spin super-gauge connection corresponding to asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes. We then determine the residual gauge transformations that preserve these asymptotic conditions and compute their Poisson bracket algebra. We find that the asymptotic symmetry is enhanced from the higher-spin superalgebra to some (N,M)-extended super-W(infinity) nonlinear superalgebra. The latter has the same classical central charge as pure Einstein gravity. Special attention is paid to the (1,1)-case. Truncation to the bosonic sector yields the previously found W(infinity) algebra, while truncation to the underlying finite-dimensional superalgebra reproduces the N-extended superconformal algebra (in its nonlinear version for N>2). We discuss string theory realization of these higher-spin anti-de Sitter supergravity theories as well as relations to previous treatments of super-W(infinity) in the literature.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.An exploratory assessment model for Northeast Atlantic spurdog (Squalus acanthias) is presented. The model is based on an approach developed for school shark (Galeorhinus galeus) off southern Australia. It is essentially age- and sex-structured, but is based on processes that are length-based, such as maturity, pup production, growth (in terms of weight) and gear selectivity, with a length–age relationship to define the conversion from length to age. Pup production (recruitment) is closely linked to the numbers of mature females, but the model allows deviations from this relationship to be estimated (subject to a constraint on the amount of deviation), and parameter estimates to be based on fitting fecundity data. The model fits to a combined Scottish groundfish survey index of abundance, and to proportion-by-category data from both the survey and commercial catches (aggregated across gears). The only estimable parameters considered are total virgin biomass (B0), Scottish survey selectivity-by-category (three parameters), commercial selectivity-by-category for two fleets (four parameters, two reflecting Scottish selectivity, and two from English and Welsh fisheries), pup-production parameters (up to three) and constrained recruitment deviations (1905–2005). The model assumes two commercial catch exploitation patterns that have remained constant since 1905, which is an oversimplification given the number of gears that take spurdog, and the change in the relative contribution of these gears in directed and mixed fisheries over time. This simplifying assumption allows stock dynamics to be taken back to near-virgin levels. The model estimates current depletion levels of around 5% relative to 1905, and 7% relative to 1955.

Living space : determining the factors that affect health at the building level in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside
Creators: name: Shepherd, Alina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Background: Despite the importance of housing to health, there continues to be a dearth of research on housing in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES). The two types of housing available to low-income people in this area are social housing and single room occupancy (SRO) housing. This thesis sought to evaluate low-income housing in the DTES by: reviewing the literature on housing and health; and evaluating the impact of the housing environment on stable and unstable tenants’ change in health compared to 1 year before the survey was taken. Method: This is a secondary analysis of data collected in 2007 as part of the Downtown Eastside Demographic Study of SRO and Social Housing Tenants. Tenants were aggregated to the building level based on their length of tenancy. Stable tenants were classified as living at their address for more than 1 year, while unstable tenants had lived at their address for less than 1 year. Multiple-regression analysis was used to determine which factors of the housing-environment contributed to better health-outcomes at the building level. Results: The literature review found that no studies have taken a building level approach to exploring the health outcomes of tenants, despite numerous qualitative accounts of the importance of the building-environment. Multiple-regression analyses demonstrated that social housing significantly contributed to health for both stable and unstable tenants. Building level health was also significantly higher if stable tenants were satisfied with building management. Unstable tenants were adversely affected if there were reports of problems-with-safety in the building, especially if they also lived in SRO housing. Furthermore, problems-with-safety was linked to problems-with-drugs. Conclusion: Social housing in all analyses contributed to significantly better health compared to 1 year ago. Consistent with qualitative findings problems-with-safety are especially detrimental to health for tenants of SRO buildings. Interventions to reduce instability within low-income housing include the facilitation of a safe environment, which is likely related to the quality of building management. Evaluative measures, to ensure quality building management, are essential to promoting stability and health within both SRO and social housing buildings.

description: Compact binary mergers are prime sources of gravitational waves, targeted by current and next generation detectors. The question "what is the observable electromagnetic (EM) signature of a compact binary merger?" is an intriguing one with crucial consequences to the quest for gravitational waves. We present a large set of numerical simulations that focus on the electromagnetic signals that emerge from the dynamically ejected sub-relativistic material. These outflows produce on a time scale of a day macronovae - short-lived IR to UV signals powered by radioactive decay. The interaction of this outflow with the surrounding matter inevitably leads to a long-lasting remnant. The expected radio signals of these remnants last longer than a year, when the sub-relativistic ejecta dominate the emission. We discuss their detectability in 1.4 GHz and 150 MHz and compare it with the detectability of short GRBs' orphan afterglows (which are produced by a different component of this outflow). Mergers with characteristics similar to those of the Galactic neutron star binary population (similar masses and typical circum-merger Galactic disk density of ~1cm^-3) taking place at the detection horizon of advanced GW detectors (300 Mpc) yield 1.4 GHz [150 MHz] signals of ~50 [300] microJy. The signal on time scales of weeks, is dominated by the mildly and/or ultra-relativistic outflow, which is not accounted for by our simulations, and is expected to be even brighter. Upcoming all sky surveys are expected to detect a few dozen, and possibly more, merger remnants at any given time thereby providing robust lower limits to the mergers rate even before the advanced GW detectorsbecome operational. Macronovae from the same distance peak in the IR to UV range at an observed magnitude that may be as bright as 22-23 about 10 hours after the merger but dimmer, redder and longer if the opacity is larger.

 DIAGNOSIS: The species can be distinguished from all other Ancistrocerus species by the following combination of characters: female clypeus about 1.15× as wide as long in frontal view, its apical margin slightly but distinctly emarginate (fig. 1A); male clypeus about 1.2× as wide as long in frontal view (fig. 1C); anterior angles of the pronotum obtuse in dorsal view; metapleuron and lateral surface of the propodeum shining, impunctate, without rugosity; inferior ridge of the propodeum well developed; sternum 2 in lateral view evenly convex, in ventral view without a longitudinal furrow at base; cuspis without an additional lobe below the base of the digitus, digitus large (figs. 2A, 2B); aedeagus in dorsal view with a broad bifurcate apex (fig. 2E), in lateral view evenly curved (fig. 2F); ventral lobe of the aedeagus in lateral view with a distinct sclerotized angle at base (fig. 2F).
DISTRIBUTION: Europe (all regions), Russia (all federal districts), Turkey, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China (northeast), Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu), India (Kashmir).
 REMARKS: Van der Vecht and Fischer (1972) reported that the name Vespa insolens would be proposed for permanent rejection but we did not find the corresponding proposal. Yet, to the best of our knowledge, V. insolens has not been used as a valid name since 1899. On the other hand, the name A. antilope has been used as the presumed valid name for this taxon in far more than 25 works, published by far more than 10 authors in the immediately preceding 50 years and encompassing a span of far more than 10 years (see References). According to Article 23.9.1 of the ICZN (1999), A. antilope is the valid name for this taxon and is considered a nomen protectum, while V. insolens is assigned the status of nomen oblitum.

description: Using an SU(3) flavour symmetry breaking expansion in the quark mass, we determine the QCD component of the nucleon, Sigma and Xi mass splittings of the baryon octet due to up-down (and strange) quark mass differences in terms of the kaon mass splitting. Provided the average quark mass is kept constant, the expansion coefficients in our procedure can be determined from computationally cheaper simulations with mass degenerate sea quarks and partially quenched valence quarks. Both the linear and quadratic terms in the SU(3) flavour symmetry breaking expansion are considered; it is found that the quadratic terms only change the result by a few percent, indicating that the expansion is highly convergent.

description: We present a first numerical investigation of a non-commutative gauge theory defined via the spectral action for Moyal space with harmonic propagation. This action is approximated by finite matrices. Using Monte Carlo simulation we study various quantities such as the energy density, the specific heat density and some order parameters, varying the matrix size and the independent parameters of the model. We find a peak structure in the specific heat which might indicate possible phase transitions. However, there are mathematical arguments which show that the limit of infinite matrices is very different from the original spectral model.

description: In this article, we propose a distribution-free method for outlier detection in high-dimensional settings. We employ a series of mirror statistics that can adaptively learn from the dependence structure of the model. We explore the asymptotic properties of these mirror statistics under non Gaussian and mild sparsity assumptions. Subsequently, we derive data-driven thresholds to asymptotically control the false discovery rate (FDR) at various designated levels. Extensive simulations confirm that the proposed method has good FDR control and satisfactory power under the general dependence structure of the model. In addition, an illustrative real case study is presented.

Females made up 53.2% and males 46.8% of the individuals. The total length of females ranged from 18.1 to 159.0 cm (disc width 12.4–122.5 cm) and of males from 14.0 to 135.0 cm (disc width 9.5–93.0 cm). The total length–weight and disc width–weight relationships were described by the equations W = 0.0019*TL3.27 and W = 0.0063*DW3.22, respectively. The age data, derived from vertebrae readings, were used to estimate the growth parameters of the von Bertalanffy equation: L∞ = 254.83 cm, K = 0.05 y–1, t0 = –0.21 y. The maximum age was 10 years. Males matured at 78 cm TL (disc width 58 cm) and females at 88 cm TL (disc width 65 cm). The stomach contained mainly fish, IRI 75.20%.

description: Redshifts of a supernova (SN) and gamma-ray burst (GRB) samples are compared with the pixel temperatures of the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) seven-years data, the pixels locations corresponding to the SN and GRB sky coordinates. We have found a statistically significant correlation of the SN redshifts with the WMAP data, the average temperature deviation being +29.9 +-4.4 microK for the redshifts z ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 and +8.6 +-1.3 microK for z within the range (0.0,0.4). The latter value accords with the theoretical estimates for the distortion of the cosmic microwave background due to the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect, whereas the larger anomaly for higher redshifts should be studied in more detail in the future.

description: Natural products (NPs) are an inspiring source for chemical biology and drug discovery research, featuring complex and diverse structures. However, the chemical space explored by nature is limited by the biosynthetic precursors and machineries available in NP-producing organisms. To explore the vast chemical space of biological relevance, pseudo natural product design is proposed to unprecedentedly recombine NP fragments from different sources. This thesis aims to develop novel concepts and methodologies in pseudo natural product design to supply structurally complex and diverse compound collections for biological study. To answer the question whether varying connections between two fragments can lead to diverse biological performance, a systematic recombination of alkaloid-derived NP fragments pyrrolidine and tetrahydroquinoline is disclosed in Chapter 3. Efficient and concise methodologies are developed to afford a library of 123 members and 7 scaffolds varying the connectivity patterns, positions and saturation states. To improve the synthetic efficiency, a previously neglected Rh(III)-catalyzed reaction between benzhydroxamate and diazooxindole is presented in Chapter 4. Besides varying connections between two fragments, ring distortion and pseudo natural product design are conceptually combined where sesquiterpene lactones are converted to diverse scaffolds via ring distortion followed by incorporation of alkaloid-derived pyrrolidine fragments yielding pseudo sesquiterpenoid alkaloids in Chapter 5. To increase the diversity of the compound collection, a stereodivergent 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition is developed to afford stereocomplementary pyrrolidines.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Data on spiny dogfish caught by salmon driftnets in the Pacific off the Kuril Islands and Kamchatka are summarized. The highest occurrence of this shark was observed off the southeastern Kamchatkan coast and opposite the First Kuril Strait where it occurred in July–November but most frequently in October–November during northward feeding migrations. Largest specimens (over 90 cm) occurred within the upper 100-m layer only. Catches were represented by individuals of 54–121 cm total length with mean 81.79 cm. Sharks 76–90 cm long were most numerous (62.3%). Latitudinal changes of spiny dogfish length were detected. In southernmost area (44°–45°N), total length varied from 75 to 112 cm (mean 83.8 cm) while in the northernmost one (52°–53°N) it was 91–63 cm with mean 71.7 cm. Catches were represented mostly by immature individuals (97.6% of females and 83.7% of males). Maximum total length of immature females was 109 cm, whereas minimum mature female length was 91 cm. Respective values for males were 82 and 80 cm. There were almost no significant differences in male and female average sizes: mean total length and body weight were 82.7 and 82.2 cm and 1758 and 1820 g, respectively. No relationships between total length and maximum egg diameter and between total length and number of eggs were found. Relationships between total, fork, and standard lengths, body and eviscerated weights are presented. Data on gonado-somatic and hepato-somatic indices, indices of heart and spleen, and condition factor are presented. Diet composition is described.
Direction of light propagation to order G^2 in static, spherically symmetric spacetimes: a new derivation

description: A procedure avoiding any integration of the null geodesic equations is used to derive the direction of light propagation in a three-parameter family of static, spherically symmetric spacetimes within the post-post-Minkowskian approximation. Quasi-Cartesian isotropic coordinates adapted to the symmetries of spacetime are systematically used. It is found that the expression of the angle formed by two light rays as measured by a static observer staying at a given point is remarkably simple in these coordinates. The attention is mainly focused on the null geodesic paths that we call the "quasi-Minkowskian light rays". The vector-like functions characterizing the direction of propagation of such light rays at their points of emission and reception are firstly obtained in the generic case where these points are both located at a finite distance from the centre of symmetry. The direction of propagation of the quasi-Minkowskian light rays emitted at infinity is then straightforwardly deduced. An intrinsic definition of the gravitational deflection angle relative to a static observer located at a finite distance is proposed for these rays. The expression inferred from this definition extends the formula currently used in VLBI astrometry up to the second order in the gravitational constant G.

description: In this poster, submitted to the Berlin 15 Conference (September 28 - October 01, 202), I tell about the transformative actions to support and promote Open Science at the University of Genoa.
 Starting from concrete support for Open Access (transformative agreements), UniGe is active in transforming the entire research process in an open perspective (open data repository, open educational resources).
 Since 2019, the openscience.unige.it portal has gone live and the UniGe Open Science Group annually organized GenOA week to advocate the Open Science themes.
 As the Open Access Week Advisory Committee reminds us, "diversity, equity, and inclusion must be integrated into the fabric of the open community to catalyze new conversations, create connections across and between communities that can advance progress to build more equitable foundations for opening knowledge". For this reasons, the Unige Open Science Group connects different roles of Genoa University community: for us, the synergy of different skills is an essential added value because only people create new (open) connections.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Otter bottom trawling is responsible for the majority (60%) of the chondrichthyans landed in Greece. A ten-year study, in the central Aegean Sea, monitoring on-board the activities of the fishery, identified 30 species (1 chimaera, 13 sharks, and 16 skates and rays) comprising 14.3% of the total catch in weight and 2.2% in number. Chondrichthyans were present in 95% of the hauls examined. Ninety per cent of specimens caught were discarded; 17 species were almost totally discarded (>97%), whereas only four exceeded 50% in their marketed percentage in numbers. Based on length frequencies, discard ogives were constructed for six species that had uninterrupted presence and an adequate sample size. Comparisons with lengths at maturity (LM50) revealed that the marketed lengths of Raja asterias, Raja clavata, and Squalus blainvillei were significantly below the size at which they reach maturity. In contrast, the majority of Dipturus oxyrinchus, Raja miraletus, and Scyliorhinus canicula specimens landed consisted of adult individuals. Taking into consideration that more than half of the species identified in this fishery are classified as threatened, vulnerable, endangered, or critically endangered, it is surprising that no conservation measures have been put in action to date in the Mediterranean. Prohibition of landing the endangered species, as well as establishment of a series of minimum landing sizes for the vulnerable/threatened ones, along with the development and adoption of gears that meet discard-reduction objectives will promote the sustainable management of chondrichthyan populations.
Existential Octavio Paz or the poetic essence of being
Creators: name: Zamorano Meza, Jose Manuel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Octavio Paz is one of the fundamental literary figures of Latin America. His works are diverse in genre, extensive in topics and in many cases polemical. Paz’s thinking about Mexican identity, poetry and modernity through his essays and his poetry pose a problem of philosophical interpretation that deserves attention. My hermeneutical reading of Paz’s poetics in light of the existential philosophy of Martin Heidegger and José Ortega y Gasset facilitates the understanding of some of Paz’s fundamental and most enduring tenets. Moreover, studying Paz in this way may help us understanding Mexican culture today. Phenomenology, vitalism and existential ontology were crucial in the anti-rationalistic environment of post-revolutionary Mexico of Paz’s youth. His polemical thoughts on Mexicanness as an identity void of an essence (e.g. in The Labyrinth of Solitude, 1950) make sense in dialogue with Ortega’s vitalist call for spontaneous living and Heidegger’s notion of authentic existence (i.e. being not defined but open to possibilities). Also, Paz’s concern for the existential meaning of poetry and his belief in the poetic essence of man and history (e.g. in The Bow and the Lyre, 1956) gains coherence when considered alongside of Heidegger’s critique of the aesthetic tradition and his premise that poetic language is the house of Being. Finally, Paz’s ambiguous critique of modernity and modern technology as events that alienate but, at the same time, liberate human existence (e.g. in “Signs in Rotation,” 1965), gains coherence in light of Heidegger’s critique of modern misunderstanding of the essence of technology. In the end, all these structural premises in Paz’s poetics may be understood as his radical call to interpret human existence as otherness; a call with strong ties to Heidegger’s belief in human destiny as authentic existence. At a time when the most recent version of narrow views on Mexico’s future have already ignited one of the country’s most violent periods to date, it is useful to look back at these existential concerns. The call of Ortega, Heidegger and Paz to avoid programmatic essentialisms, appropriate historicity and to live authentically as a being-in-the-world of socialized others, now gains renewed importance.
