El templo de Antonino y Faustina en los planos de los arquitectos españoles pensionados en Roma
Creators: name: Garcia Sanchez, Jorge
Publisher: name: Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2016

description:

In the 18th century, at a time in which the taste for the Graeco-Roman past prevailed in the European arts as aesthetic solution and a new way of expression, numerous architects, included architects from Spain, travelled to Italy and especially to Rome in order to study ancient monuments. Their sketches reflect the archaeological interest of the 18th and 19th century in antiquity and they constitute an important graphic documentation of the state of conservation of the classical buildings at that time. This paper deals with the scientific approach of Spanish architects in those centuries to a single monument, the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina located in the Roman Forum. As a science whose practical implications require a perfect understanding of the models being studied, architecture deals with the analysis of antiquity with a precision which has no precedent in the mentality of antiquarians of the time, as demonstrated by the examples of the representation of the architectural plans of the Temple consecrated to the Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius and his wife Faustina the Elder.

description:

In 1895 a contemporary described Ignazio Villa as an «Engineer, sculptor, painter, astronomer, and above all a great original». The quotation highlights the encyclopaedic nature of Mr. Villa’s genius by categorizing him as an individual devoted to disciplines so diverse as visual arts, astronomy, mechanics and geography, skills for which Villa gained renown both internationally and in Italy. Today, Villa’s fame has been limited to his Palace and Studio, on Via il Prato, a unique neo-Gothic architecture located in Florence. Villa is also well-known for his family’s relationship with Mario Sironi, one of the most important Italian painters of the twentieth century. This article aims to revive the academic and public interest in this talented artist by examining some of his unknown sculptures and portraits as a lens through which to understand some of the key moments of Villa’s life. We consider the artist’s social standing and his contact with the Milanese nobility, specifically the Marquis Busca and the Duke Tommaso Scotti, leading Florentine intellectuals, and members of the international high society such as Prince Poniatowski, and the House of Savoy, for whose members Villa served as an official portraitist.

Andrej Belyj in Africa del Nord (1911)
Creators: name: Frison, Anita
Publisher: name: Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2015

description:

Andrei Belyi (1880-1934) wrote several works about his trip to North Africa in 1911. The analysis of his ‘African’ letters (to his mother, to A. Blok, E. Metner, A. Kožebatkin, A. Petrovskij and M. Morozova) shows the coexistence of the orientalist thinking and a gradual distaste for the European world. Belyi undoubtedly describes Arabic people using typical orientalist commonplaces, thus putting himself inside the Western cultural identity (which has always created these stereotypes, as highlighted by Edward Said in Orientalism); but he also looks at the European colonists from an external point of view, that of a Russian not directly involved in the imperialistic division of the African continent. These first-hand reports show the beginning of his rejection of Western society and the starting point for the creation of a Russian identity, clearly separated from the European one. This process is not unique. In fact, it is a peculiar feature of the so called ‘Russian orientalism’: while talking about ‘the Orient’, Russian travellers and writers have often also considered the ‘West’, namely Europe, in an attempt to shape Russia’s cultural identity and clarify its ambiguous position.

Subjects: Chronic Renal Failure (CRF); DNA damage; Micronucleus (MN)

description: Introduction. Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) patients are considered to show genomic instability and are associated with a high risk of both cardiovascular diseases and cancer. We explored DNA damage due to two dialysis treatments in 20 patients undergoing bicarbonate haemodialysis, 20 undergoing haemodiafiltration and 40 healthy subjects.

Methods. The cytokinesis-block micronucleus (MN) assay was performed on peripheral blood lymphocytes to evaluate genetic damage.

Results. A higher frequency of MN in the dialysis groups compared with controls was found. The results do not show a relationship between genetic instability and the type, frequency and duration of haemodialysis. The average BD and HDF treatment time was respectively 3.8Â±6.3 and 3.7Â±3.9 yrs. CAT and scintigraphy was independently correlated with high levels of MN.

Discussion. Overall, the frequency of MN in CRF patients undergoing dialysis therapy was observed to be higher. Further studies need to be performed on a larger number of patients and for a longer period.

Mahalo-Subaru: The Nature Of Star Forming Disc Galaxies In Proto-Clusters
Creators: name: Kodama, Tadayuki
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2016
Subjects: Discs in galaxies

description: We have been conducting Mahalo-Subaru project which targets ~10 proto-clusters as well as unbiased general fields for comparison over the redshift interval of 1.5<z<3.7 covering the peak epoch of galaxy formation and beyond. We employ unique sets of narrow-band filters to map out line-emitting star-forming galaxies (e.g., Ha, [OIII]) associated to the proto-clusters or in some particular redshift slices in the field.

We show that all the clusters have prominent substructures indicating the early assembly phase, and that star formation activity in the cluster cores is very high at z~2, involving a significant fraction of dusty star-bursting galaxies seen as red emitters or SCUBA2 submm sources. Such strong activities in proto-cluster cores decline sharply as time progresses as (1+z)^6, and the peak of star formation activity is shifted outwards to surrounding lower density regions, clearly indicating the “inside-out” formation of galaxy clusters.

Using HST imaging, AO-assisted narrow-band imaging (Ganba-Subaru), and ALMA observations (Gracias-ALMA), we are now at the stage of resolving internal structures of individual galaxies to know the physical processes of galaxy formation in action and their environmental dependence. I will also review all these on-going projects as well as introducing the up-coming 1-sq.deg. SWIMS-18 survey using 18 filters (6 narrow-bands, 9 medium-bands, and 3 broad-bands).

description: The majority of new bioinformatics research students are often not acquainted with the common computational workflows and resources. Students may spend several months writing scripts to perform routine analysis, for which a comprehensive set of tools might have already been developed.

In this talk/poster, the core Bioconductor technologies are introduced. The term Reproducible Research is defined.  I, then, introduce Docker and explain how it can be deployed to build a digital archive that reproduces the research results. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of using Docker over other tools for research reproducibility are discussed.

The talk/poster presents information on using computational tools and resources that many of new bioinformatics research students may not be familiar with. Nowadays, the majority of accredited journals require the results of the studies to be reproducible. Reproducible Research will be the main focus of this talk/poster. Therefore, the talk/poster might be of interest of a vast number of students and their supervisors.
Opening the Black Box of Artificial Neural Networks: An Interpretation of Multilayer Perceptron as an Instance-based Learner

Year: 2025

description: This dissertation provides a transparent explanation of a foundational artificial neural network. Artificial neural networks are at the heart of state-of-the-art artificial intelligence but are generally opaque to interpretation. This dissertation benefits society by providing broadly accessible insight into what drives this technology. The dissertation interprets the mathematics of the multilayer perceptron artificial neural networks to explain its internal logic and behaviour in a non-mathematical frame of reference. The network is framed as a memory store for training patterns. A new input retrieves samples of similar patterns that are combined into idealisations from which output decisions are made.

description: This article analyzes the openings in host-caller interactions in three leading U.S. political talk radio (PTR) programs. Conversation analysis and membership categorization analysis are used to describe how fandom is achieved in these shows. Callers present themselves as fans in the first possible position in the interaction, using various practices ranging from uttering the word ditto to creating extended discourse structures. The hosts usually perceive these practices as compliments and appreciate them and the callers. PTR is a prime example of a fan-public, since its host harnesses the fans to achieve his political (and commercial) agenda. The hyphen in fan-public deserves attention, because this notion is rooted in infotainment, combining the relationships of the entertainment business, fans, and stars with the realm of politics, which would assume some critical notion and individuality in the decision-making processes.

Future Re-visions
Creators: name: Bianchi, Diana
Publisher: name: Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2015

description:

Science fiction is a foreign genre within the Italian literary tradition, to the extent that ever since it was ‘imported’ in Italy in the early 1950s, translations from English have been the main form through which SF has circulated in Italy in the following decades. Such translations were initially published in popular book series that highlighted the most escapist and colourful elements of the genre. In the 1970s, however, there was an attempt to ‘revise’ it, toning down science fiction’s popular roots and employing discursive strategies more typical of canonical literature. Paratexts played a key role in relation to this re-articulation of a popular genre. Titles, cover illustrations and advertising blurbs, all contributed to offering a new representation of science fiction, more sophisticated from a literary point of view but also with more generic constraints. This paper will analyse the presentational strategies employed in these new ‘revised’ versions of science fiction, focusing in particular on the translation of titles and the way in which they rebuilt different generic borders.

description: Introduction

Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) is the most common bacterial cause of sexually transmitted infections (STI) and is associated with severe long-term sequelae in female populations.

In Italy Ct infections are not submitted to a screening programme, and its epidemiological profile is understudied. Even scarcer information is available about the genetic diversity on ompA gene, whose sequence defines 18 different genovars.

This study aims at evaluating the prevalence of Ct infection in young sexually active asymptomatic women aged 18-25, and characterizing the molecular epidemiology of the different circulating genovars in this population.

Methods
Cervical samples collected from 909 sexually-active-young women (mean age 21.5 years) were analyzed through molecular assay for the detection of Ct infection. Phylogenetic analysis on the ompA gene was performed on Ct positive samples to identify the circulating genovars.

Results
The overall prevalence of Ct-infection was 4.4% (95%CI: 3.2-5.9%): 5.3% among women aged 18-21 years and 3.5% among those aged 22-25 years. Phylogenetic analysis has identified 5 different genovars: D, E, F, G, and H. The most common genovar was the E (46%), followed by genovar F and G (18.9% each), D (13.5%), and H (2.7%).

Conclusions
This study underlines the high prevalence of asymptomatic Ct-infections among young women. Overall, about half of asymptomatic infections is sustained by genovar E. The introduction in Italy of a systematic screening program should be considered to allow a better understanding of Ct spreading and providing women with an opportunity for early treatment to protect their sexual and reproductive health.

description: Influenza is a highly infectious airborne disease with an important epidemiological and societal burden; annual epidemics and pandemics have occurred since ancient times, causing tens of millions of deaths. A hundred years after this virus was first isolated, influenza vaccines now ensure effective protection,  and the preparations used display good safety and tolerability profiles.

Innovative tools, such as recombinant technologies and intra-dermal devices, are currently being investigated in order to elicit good immunity even in the event of unforeseen changes in the virus due to drift and antigenic shift or the co-circulation  of different viral strains.

The recurring mutations of influenza strains has prompted the recent introduction of a quadrivalent inactivated vaccine. In the near future, scientific research will strive to produce a long-lasting universal vaccine containing an antigen that is not subject to genetic modifications, and surveillance systems will be implemented in order to exactly predict circulating strains.

description: The formation and growth of the first super massive black holes (SMBHs) at z ~ 6 is a subject of intense debate. If black holes grow at their Eddington rates, they must start from high-mass seeds, (Mseed ~10^4 -10^5 Msun), formed by direct collapse of gasHere I will consider an alternative scenario where remnant of population III stars, (M ~ 100 Msun), can grow at super-Eddington rates via radiatively inefficient slim accretion disks. In Pezzulli et al., (MNRAS 2016), we use an improved version of the cosmological, data-constrained semi-analytic model GAMETE/QSODUST. We follow, for each progenitor present in the simulation, the evolution of nuclear BH, gas cooling, disk and bulge formation of their host galaxies together with the star formation, SNe/AGN feedback and chemical and dust enrichment. By adopting SDSS J1148+5251 at z=6.4 as a prototype of luminous z=6 quasars, we find that ~ 80% of the SMBH mass of J1148 is provided by super-Eddington gas accretion, which can be sustained down to z ~ 10 in dense, gas-rich environments, and the BH progenitors of the final SMBH evolve in symbiosis with their host galaxiesWe reproduce all the observed quantities of J1148, also predicting an AGN-driven mass outflow rate at z=6.4 broadly consistent with the radial profile inferred from CII observation by Cicone et al. 2015. Interestingly, find that ~20% of J1148 progenitors at z=7.1 have BH luminosities and masses comparable to ULAS J1120, suggesting that the most distant quasar ever observed may be one of the progenitors of J1148.

description: Introduction

The aim of the presents study was to compare the level of knowledge about Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) in vaccinated and non-vaccinated girls and to highlight the reasons why non-vaccinated girls refuse vaccination.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2012 to June2013 inTurin (Piemonte Region, Italy). Questionnaires were administered to girls attending secondary and high schools randomly selected.

Results

A total of 576 were compiled. The principle sources of information were parents and health workers. The main reported reasons for non-adherence to vaccination were the disagreement of the parents among the 11-12 years group (45.3%) and the lack of evidence on efficacy among the 18 years group (26.8%). By comparing the level of knowledge there was a statistically significant difference between groups: vaccinated girls reported higher score than the unvaccinated group in several questions (p≤0.05).

Discussion

Our findings show a lack of information about HPV infection. Parents, school and health care workers have a central role in girlâs education and choices about HPV vaccination.

The communication campaign for the prevention of cervical cancer must therefore be characterised by messages able to clarify and consolidate messages that may have been partially received or misunderstood.

description: Introduction: Food contamination with Listeria monocytogenes is on the increase posing threats to public health with growing trends in food products recalls due to suspected Listeria contamination.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study to determine the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility profiles of Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) among 71 randomly selected poultry farms in Oyo State, Nigeria. A total of 450 samples comprising cloacal swabs (426) and randomly selected dressed chicken meat (24) were cultured for Lm isolation using BrillianceTM Selective Listeria Agar with antibiotics and microbial load count with Nutrient Agar. Further identification was done using microscopic, biochemical characterization and antibiotic sensitivity tests. Data were analysed using bivariate analysis and student t-test.

Results: An overall prevalence of 91.8% Lm contamination was obtained comprising 91.5% (390/426) in cloacal swabs and 95.8% (23/24) in meat. The prevalence of Lm in cloacal samples was significantly associated with poultry type (p =0.008) and breed (p=0.000.Â  In addition, all the flocks had at least one positive sample yielding 100% flock prevalence. Antibiotic sensitivity test revealed that most of the isolates were resistant to common antibiotics like Ampiclox and Zinnacef.

Discussion: The results revealed a high level of contamination with Lm in the poultry flock and meat and the observed resistance to most common antibiotics has implications for future disease control as well as public health. There is need to step up routine screening of food animal products for Listeria contamination as well as measures towards reducing such contaminations.

description: Hebrew nu is a non-referential item borrowed into the language in the early days of revival of spoken Hebrew, as is the case for many discourse markers (Schiffrin 1987) in language contact situations (e. g., Brody 1987; Maschler 1988, 1994,2000; Salmons 1990; Matras 1998). Even-Shoshan’s dictionary (2003) classifies it as an interjection and provides the information that nu was “imported from the European languages”, which could be understood as mainly Russian (nu),Yiddish (nu), and possibly Polish (no). Even-Shoshan provides the meanings 'efo (‘therefore’), hava (‘let us’), uvxen (‘well then’) – all words of rather high register. To these meanings, another dictionary (Avneyon 1998) adds a colloquial use: milat zeruz (‘an urging word’) and provides the example: nu kvar, bo! hasha'a me'uxeret! (‘nu already, come! It’s late!’).

Subjects: Brucellosis; public health; risk factors

description: Introduction: Brucellosis is endemic in Nigeria and risk factors enhancing its transmission are prevalent.

Methods: Following serological evidence of brucellosis and isolation of B. abortus from slaughtered cattle in Ibadan, Nigeria, we administered a semi-structured questionnaire to determine the prevalence and predictors of eating and selling bovine gravid uterus among 350 meat handlers from five major meat processing facilities and conducted key informant interview for five leading traditional healers to document its use. Data were analysed using Stata 12.

Results: The prevalence of eating and selling gravid uterus were respectively, 29.7% and 40.3%. Being meat/offal processor (OR=1.9, 95%CI: 1.11-3.3, P =0.008), male (OR=1.7, 95%CI: 0.1-3.03, P =0.023) and not knowing that eating undercooked contaminated gravid uterus could expose humans to brucellosis (OR=2.4, 95%CI: 1.56-3.62, P =0.000) were strong predictors of eating gravid uterus. Similarly, being adult (OR=1.7, 95%CI: 1.08-2.57, P =0.02) and inadequate knowledge of brucellosis as a zoonosis (OR=2.9, 95%CI: 1.71-4.92, P =0.000) strongly predicted selling gravid uterus. Qualitative data from the traditional healers revealed using gravid uterus as special medicinal preparations to hasten parturition in overdue pregnancies, treat infertility and old age diseases in humans.

Discussions: We demonstrated high prevalence of risk factors for brucellosis transmission and some meat handlers’ socio-demographic characteristics including brucellosis knowledge-based markers as predictors of these factors. The traditional healers’ practices portend a challenge to the current brucellosis control strategy. These findings provide insights into designing all-inclusive health programmes aimed at controlling brucellosis spread in Nigeria and other similar settings in developing countries.

description: Introduction: Use of sunscreen is encouraged to reduce the risk of skin pathologies caused by radiation. It is important to acknowledge the associated factors with sunscreen use in young populations to design better prevention policies.
Objective: To determine the factors associated with the regular use of sunscreen in first year medical students from a Peruvian university.
Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was performed. Our population was first-year medical students from a Peruvian university. We elaborated and applied a virtual survey with socio-demographic data and photoprotection knowledge, attitudes, and practices questions. To evaluate the factors associated to sunscreen use, we used ordinal logistic regression.
Results: From 420 first-year students, 299 surveys entered the analysis. We found that 53.5% of the participants had less than 18 years, 63.2% were female, 9.3% responded that it is worth it to get a sunburn to look tan, being this perception higher in females than males, 38.1% used sunscreen always or almost always in the last summer. Factors associated with the use of sunscreen in the ordered logistic adjusted regression were male sex (OR=0.50, IC95%=0.34-0.86), participation in photoprotection workshops in the last year (OR=2.40, IC95%=1.28-4.37) and having somebody to remind them the use of sunscreen during the last months (OR=3.80, IC95%=1.28-11.20).
Conclusions: In our sample, a higher use of sunscreen was related with female sex, having attended to workshops and having a person for reminding the use of sunscreen. This highlights the importance of educational and reminder activities in the consolidation of habits such as sunscreen use.

description: Introduction. Healthcare associated infections (HAIs) and misuse of antimicrobials (AMs) represent a growing public health problem. The Point Prevalence Surveys (PPSs) find information available to be used for specific targeted interventions and evaluate their effects.

Objective of study is to estimate the prevalence of HAIs and AM use, to describe types of infections, causative pathogens and to compare data collected through three PPSs in Ferrara University Hospital (FUH), repeated in 3 different years (2011-2013).

Population-based sample consists of all patients admitted to every acute care and rehabilitation Department of the FUH, in a single day.

Methods. ECDC Protocol and Form for PPS of HAI and AM use, Version 4.2, July 2011. Risk factors analysis was performed using logistic regression.

Results. 1,239 patients were observed. Overall, HAI prevalence was 9.6%; prevalence was higher in Intensive Care Units; urinary tract infections were the most common HAIs in all 3 surveys; E.coli was the most common pathogen; AM use prevalence was 51.1%; surgical prophylaxis was prescribed for more than 1 day; AMs most frequently administered were fluoroquinolones, combinations of penicillins, third-generation cephalosporins. According to the regression model, urinary catheter (OR: 2.5) and invasive respiratory device (OR: 2.3) are significantly associated risk factors for HAIs (p<0.05).
Conclusions. PPSs is sensitive and effective method of analysis.Yearly repetition is a useful way to maintain focus on the topic of HAIs and AM use, highlighting how changes in practices impact on the outcome of care and providing useful information to implement intervention programs targeted on specific issues.

Subjects: Operating room; surgical site infection; surveillance; arthroplasty procedures.

description: Abstract:

Background: The rate of surgical site infections (SSI) is strongly influenced by operating room quality, which is determined by the structural features of the facility and its systems and by the management and behaviour of healthcare workers.

The aim of the present study was to assess the microbial contamination in operating room during hip- and knee-replacement procedures, the behavior of operating room staff and the incidence of SSI through postdischarge surveillance.

Methods: Microbial contamination was evaluated by active and passive samplings at rest and in operating conditions. Organizational and behavioral characteristics were collected by observational assessment. The incidence of SSI was evaluated in 255 patients and the follow-up examinations were carried out at 30 and 365 days after the procedure.

Results: The mean value of the airborne and sedimenting microbial load was respectively 12.90 CFU/m3 and 0.02 CFU/cm2/h.

With regard to outcome, the infection rate proved to be 0.89%, associated with knee-replacement procedures. The microorganism responsible for this superficial infection was Staphylococcus aureus.

Conclusion: Clinical outcomes proved to be satisfactory explained by the microbial load (in both at-rest and operating conditions), the appropriate behavior of the staff, compliance with the guidelines on preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis, and efficient management of the ventilation system.

Subjects: carbapenem-resistant klebsiella pneumoniae; bloodstream infection; mortality

description: OBJECTIVE. To describe the occurrence of CRKP infections in a tertiary care hospital and to analyse the allelic profiles of the clinical strains involved and the most frequent carbapenemases.

DESIGN. The study analyzed cases of infection due to CRKP in the period 2013-2014. 147 cases of CRKP infection were recorded most of which (82.31%) were in-hospital infections.

SETTING. One hospital in northern Italy.

METHODS. We retrospectively collected: data on patient characteristics, microbiological characteristics of CRKP. The isolates from 72 of the-hospital cases underwent molecular typing (MLST); in addition, in each isolate, a procedure for the detection of the blaKPC gene was carried out.

RESULTS: The in-hospital death rate was 24.0% in 2013 and 37.5% in 2014. However, the difference between these two values did not prove statistically significant (P> .05).

Analysis of mortality revealed that bloodstream infections were more frequently associated with death than other infections (CHI2=14.57, P
