description: L’articolo tratta di come, all’interno della metodologia process drama applicata all’insegnamento delle lingue straniere, l’immedesimazione nel ruolo drammatico influenzi la produzione linguistica degli studenti. Ad una prima parte teorica in cui il process drama  viene posto a confronto con i più tradizionali esercizi di role play, utilizzati da nell’approccio comunicativo segue una parte in cui si analizza un ciclo di lezioni condotte in base alla metodologia process drama, svoltosi all’Università degli Studi di Milano con una classe di studenti di madrelingua cinese nel mese di giugno 2010. L’analisi dell’esperienza mostra come le attività proposte secondo questa metodologia abbiano spinto gli studenti, durante la lezione, ad immedesimarsi ciascuno in un particolare personaggio e come questo abbia influenzato il coinvolgimento affettivo e comunicativo degli studenti, migliorandone la produzione linguistica e fungendo da stimolo a valorizzare le loro conoscenze pregresse.

Learning according to roles: a process drama exerience for the teaching of italian to students in the stranimedia project

This article discusses how, within the process drama methodology applied to foreign language teaching, the identification through the dramatic role influences the linguistic production of students.  After the first theoretical part where process drama is compared to more traditional roleplay activities used in the communicative approach, there is a second part which analyzes a cycle of lessons conduced using process drama, carried out at the University degli Studi di Milano with a class of Chinese mothertongue students in June 2010.

The analysis of the experience shows how the activities proposed uing this method pushed the students to identify with their characters and this in turn influenced the emotional and communicative involvement of the students, improving their linguistic production and acting as a stimulus for giving value to their previous knowledge

Improving and bounding asymptotic approximations for diversity combiners in correlated generalized rician fading
Creators: name: Schlenker, Joshua
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Although relatively simple exact error rate expression are available for selection combining (SC) and equal gain combining (EGC) with independent fading channels, results for correlated channels are highly complex, requiring multiple levels of integration when more than two branches are involved. Not only does the complexity make numeric computation resource intensive, it obscures how channel statistics and correlation affect system performance. Asymptotic analysis has been used to derive simple error expressions valid in high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regimes. However, it is not clear at what SNR value the asymptotic results are an accurate approximation of the exact solution. In this thesis, we derive asymptotic results for SC, EGC, and maximal ratio combining (MRC) in correlated generalized Rician fading channels. By assuming generalized Rician fading, our results incorporate Rician, Rayleigh, and Nakagami-m fading scenarios as special cases. Furthermore, the asymptotic results for SC are expanded into an exact infinite series. Although this series grows quickly in complexity as more terms are included, truncation to even two or three terms has much greater accuracy than the first (asymptotic) term alone. Finally, we derive asymptotically tight lower and upper bounds on the error rate for EGC. Using these bounds, we are able to show at what SNR values the asymptotic results are valid.

description: The individual movements of large numbers of people are important in many contexts, from urban planning to disease spreading. Datasets that capture human mobility are now available and many interesting features have been discovered, including the ultra-slow spatial growth of individual mobility. However, the detailed substructures and spatiotemporal flows of mobility - the sets and sequences of visited locations - have not been well studied. We show that individual mobility is dominated by small groups of frequently visited, dynamically close locations, forming primary "habitats" capturing typical daily activity, along with subsidiary habitats representing additional travel. These habitats do not correspond to typical contexts such as home or work. The temporal evolution of mobility within habitats, which constitutes most motion, is universal across habitats and exhibits scaling patterns both distinct from all previous observations and unpredicted by current models. The delay to enter subsidiary habitats is a primary factor in the spatiotemporal growth of human travel. Interestingly, habitats correlate with non-mobility dynamics such as communication activity, implying that habitats may influence processes such as information spreading and revealing new connections between human mobility and social networks.

description: Prostate cancer is a complex, progressive, bone-tropic disease, which is usually associated with skeletal issues, poor mobility and a fatal outcome when it reaches the metastatic phase. Soy isoflavones, steroid-like compounds from soy-based food/dietary supplements, have been found to decrease the risk of prostate cancer in frequent consumers. Herein, we present a systematization of the data on soy isoflavone effects at different stages of metastatic prostate cancer progression, with a particular interest in the context of bone-related molecular events. Specifically, soy isoflavones have been determined to downregulate the prostate cancer cell androgen receptors, reverse the epithelial to mesenchymal transition of these cells, decrease the expressions of prostate-specific antigen, matrix metalloproteinase and serine proteinase, and reduce the superficial membrane fluidity in prostate cancer cells. In addition, soy isoflavones suppress the angiogenesis that follows prostate cancer growth, obstruct prostate cancer cells adhesion to the vascular endothelium and their extravasation in the area of future bone lesions, improve the general bone morphofunctional status, have a beneficial effect on prostate cancer metastasis-caused osteolytic/osteoblastic lesions and possibly affect the pre-metastatic niche formation. The observed, multilevel antimetastatic properties of soy isoflavones imply that they should be considered as promising components of combined therapeutic approaches to advanced prostate cancer.

description: Large deviations for fat tailed distributions, i.e. those that decay slower than exponential, are not only relatively likely, but they also occur in a rather peculiar way where a finite fraction of the whole sample deviation is concentrated on a single variable. The regime of large deviations is separated from the regime of typical fluctuations by a phase transition where the symmetry between the points in the sample is spontaneously broken. For stochastic processes with a fat tailed microscopic noise, this implies that while typical realizations are well described by a diffusion process with continuous sample paths, large deviation paths are typically discontinuous. For eigenvalues of random matrices with fat tailed distributed elements, a large deviation where the trace of the matrix is anomalously large concentrates on just a single eigenvalue, whereas in the thin tailed world the large deviation affects the whole distribution. These results find a natural application to finance. Since the price dynamics of financial stocks is characterized by fat tailed increments, large fluctuations of stock prices are expected to be realized by discrete jumps. Interestingly, we find that large excursions of prices are more likely realized by continuous drifts rather than by discontinuous jumps. Indeed, auto-correlations suppress the concentration of large deviations. Financial covariance matrices also exhibit an anomalously large eigenvalue, the market mode, as compared to the prediction of random matrix theory. We show that this is explained by a large deviation with excess covariance rather than by one with excess volatility.

description: We study the stability of (4+1)-dimensional charged Gauss-Bonnet black holes and solitons. We observe an instability related to the condensation of a scalar field and construct explicit "hairy" black hole and soliton solutions of the full system of coupled field equations. We investigate the cases of a massless scalar field as well as that of a tachyonic scalar field. The solitons with scalar hair exist for a particular range of the charge and the gauge coupling. This range is such that for intermediate values of the gauge coupling a "forbidden band" of charges for the hairy solitons exists. We also discuss the behaviour of the black holes with scalar hair when changing the horizon radius and/or the gauge coupling and find that various scenarios at the approach of a limiting solution appear. One observation is that hairy Gauss-Bonnet black holes never tend to a regular soliton solution in the limit of vanishing horizon radius. We also prove that extremal Gauss-Bonnet black holes can not carry massless or tachyonic scalar hair and show that our solutions tend to their planar counterparts for large charges.

description: In the system of a gravitating Q-ball, there is a maximum charge $Q_{\rm max}$ inevitably, while in flat spacetime there is no upper bound on $Q$ in typical models such as the Affleck-Dine model. Theoretically the charge $Q$ is a free parameter, and phenomenologically it could increase by charge accumulation. We address a question of what happens to Q-balls if $Q$ is close to $Q_{\rm max}$. First, without specifying a model, we show analytically that inflation cannot take place in the core of a Q-ball, contrary to the claim of previous work. Next, for the Affleck-Dine model, we analyze perturbation of equilibrium solutions with $Q\approx Q_{\rm max}$ by numerical analysis of dynamical field equations. We find that the extremal solution with $Q=Q_{\rm max}$ and unstable solutions around it are "critical solutions", which means the threshold of black-hole formation.

The realization of tone in singing in Cantonese and Mandarin
Creators: name: Schellenberg, Murray Henry
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: There are many ways that cultures with tone languages may deal with the interaction of linguistic tone and music. Contemporary vocal music in both Mandarin and Cantonese stems from a common source, a new style of Chinese music that developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, but the two musics realize linguistic tone differently. This thesis examines experimentally the differences in the phonetic manifestation of tone in singing in both Cantonese and Mandarin as well as examining the comprehensibility of the sung words. One set of experiments asked native speakers to sing songs containing minimal sets by tone. The second set of experiments had native speakers try to recognize the set of words extracted from the songs. Cantonese singers included a rising contour when singing words with rising tones and Cantonese listeners were attuned to this. Mandarin singers did not add in contour information and Mandarin listeners had difficulty recognizing the words out of context. The thesis also expands the discussion of singing in tone languages by examining some of the sociological and political factors which appear to have influenced the ways in which tone is expressed (or not) in these two varieties of Chinese.

description: We consider entanglement witnesses arising from positive linear maps which generate exposed extremal rays. We show that every entanglement can be detected by one of these witnesses, and this witness detects a unique set of entanglement among those. Therefore, they provide a minimal set of witnesses to detect all entanglement in a sense. Furthermore, if those maps are indecomposable then they detect large classes of entanglement with positive partial transposes which have nonempty relative interiors in the cone generated by all PPT states. We also provide a one parameter family of indecomposable positive linear maps which generate exposed extremal rays. This gives the first examples of such maps between three dimensional matrix algebra.

description: We determine conditions for the presence of stochastic resonance in a lossy bosonic channel with a nonlinear, threshold decoding. The stochastic resonance effect occurs if and only if the detection threshold is outside of a "forbidden interval". We show that it takes place in different settings: when transmitting classical messages through a lossy bosonic channel, when transmitting over an entanglement-assisted lossy bosonic channel, and when discriminating channels with different loss parameters. Moreover, we consider a setting in which stochastic resonance occurs in the transmission of a qubit over a lossy bosonic channel with a particular encoding and decoding. In all cases, we assume the addition of Gaussian noise to the signal and show that it does not matter who, between sender and receiver, introduces such a noise. Remarkably, different results are obtained when considering a setting for private communication. In this case the symmetry between sender and receiver is broken and the "forbidden interval" may vanish, leading to the occurrence of stochastic resonance effects for any value of the detection threshold.

description: Developing the ability to comprehensively study infections in small populations enables us to improve epidemic models and better advise individuals about potential risks to their health. We currently have a limited understanding of how infections spread within a small population because it has been difficult to closely track an infection within a complete community. The paper presents data closely tracking the spread of an infection centered on a student dormitory, collected by leveraging the residents' use of cellular phones. The data are based on daily symptom surveys taken over a period of four months and proximity tracking through cellular phones. We demonstrate that using a Bayesian, discrete-time multi-agent model of infection to model real-world symptom reports and proximity tracking records gives us important insights about infec-tions in small populations.

In particular, expressions for the scalar observable and the Wilson Loop are given. As an application, using these observables we compute a certain quantity k5 that can be viewed as Coulomb's constant in five dimensions. We show that this quantity becomes independent of N in the large N limit. Furthermore, the numerical value of k5 we find for SU(infinity) deviates by 17% from its value predicted by holography.

Gill, and coincides with the Kahler-Ricci flow if the initial metric is Kahler. We find the maximal existence time for the flow in terms of the initial data. We investigate the behavior of the flow on complex surfaces when the initial metric is Gauduchon, on complex manifolds with negative first Chern class, and on some Hopf manifolds. Finally, we discuss a new estimate for the complex Monge-Ampere equation on Hermitian manifolds.

description: The construction of dams and interbasin water transfers are major strategies to adapt to water scarcity. In the semi-arid Jaguaribe basin, Brazil, large strategic reservoirs supply water for urban centres, while farm dams serve multiple demands of rural communities. We used the Model of Water Availability in SemiArid Environments (WASA) to assess the water storage dynamics of strategic reservoirs impacted by: (i) water withdrawal from farm dams located upstream; (ii) interbasin water transfer to the Jaguaribe basin. Simulations show that intensive water use from smaller reservoirs reduces large reservoir volumes by less than 10%, whereas inflows from the São Francisco Integration Project to the basin can increase by 6% the period of time in which reservoir capacity is above the alert volume. The practice of saving water from small dams can be abandoned, enabling higher agricultural production without compromising the water supply of large urban centres.

description: We present photometric measurements for the galaxies - and when possible their bulges and disks - in the 0.0510^10 Msun, these satellites have shallower color gradients in higher mass groups and in the cores of groups compared with lower mass groups and the outskirts of groups. Stellar population analyses and semi-analytic models suggest that disk-dominated satellites undergo quenching of star formation in their outer disks, on timescales ~2 Gyr, as they progressively move inside the group potential.

Spectral dimension of trees with a unique infinite spine

description: Using generating functions techniques we develop a relation between the Hausdorff and spectral dimension of trees with a unique infinite spine. Furthermore, it is shown that if the outgrowths along the spine are independent and identically distributed, then both the Hausdorff and spectral dimension can easily be determined from the probability generating function of the random variable describing the size of the outgrowths at a given vertex, provided that the probability of the height of the outgrowths exceeding n falls off as the inverse of n. We apply this new method to both critical non-generic trees and the attachment and grafting model, which is a special case of the vertex splitting model, resulting in a simplified proof for the values of the Hausdorff and spectral dimension for the former and novel results for the latter.

UN LASCIAPASSARE PER L’ITALIA.  LA LEGGE MARONI E L’OBBLIGO DEL TEST DI ITALIANO PER STRANIERI
Creators: name: Sergio, Giuseppe
Publisher: name: Italiano LinguaDue
Year: 2011

description: Per legge, dalla fine del 2010, gli stranieri già residenti nel nostro Paese e intenzionati a richiedere il “permesso CE per soggiornanti di lungo periodo” devono dimostrare di possedere un livello minimo di conoscenza dell’italiano. L’articolo ripercorre il contenuto di questa normativa, soffermandosi sui suoi aspetti operativi e sulle procedure per la somministrazione del test volto all’elicitazione e verifica del profilo di competenza richiesto (corrispondente all’A2 del QCER). Se la legge dimostra di considerare la lingua come irrinunciabile fattore coesivo, allineandosi peraltro a quanto già stabilito in numerosi Paesi europei, diversamente da questi ultimi in Italia il settore formativo versa in condizioni deficitarie. Anche in questa prospettiva critica, l’articolo svolge una rassegna sulla recezione della legge: sostanzialmente positiva da parte dell’opinione pubblica, più circostanziata e criticata da parte dagli addetti ai lavori e, per ragioni diverse, dagli stessi stranieri. Si propone infine un’analisi del test di italiano, così come è stato finora somministrato, cioè sulla base del Vademecum diffuso dal  Miur, ma anche tenendo contrastivamente d’occhio le linee guida precedentemente indicate dagli Enti certificatori.

 A pass for Italy.
 The Maroni law and the obligatory Italian test for foreigners

By law, since 2010, foreign residents in Italy who wish to appy for the “EC long term stay permit” have to demonstrate a minimal knowledge of Italian. The article covers the content of this law, considering the operative aspects and the test procedures aimed at eliciting and verifying the competence profile requested (A2 level of the QCER). Although the law demonstrates that language is a necessary cohesive factor, in line with what other European countries have already established, training in Italy is not up to par with the other countries. In this critival perspective, the article discusses the impact of the law: which has been substantially positive in terms of public opinion, more circumstantial amd criticized by workers and for different reasons, by foreigners. The Italian test is also analyzed, as well as how it has been administered up to now, based on the vademecum made available by Muir, with an eye on the guidelines previously set out by the certification bodies.

Reconciling Perspectives : a substantive theory of how people manage the process of software development
Creators: name: Adolph, William Stephen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Software development is a 1.6 trillion dollar industry and any improvement to how we create software will have significant economic benefit. As part of software process improvement programs, many organizations adopt a methodology. While there is evidence that methodologies improve development outcomes, few developers follow specific methodologies, preferring to use ad hoc practices. What is going on here? Is there a gap between the process models and how people actually create software? Could it be that software developers do not find methodologies useful and that methodologies do not provide guidance or support for how people really create software? To answer these questions, we performed a field study to understand how the process of software development is actually managed. We used Grounded Theory to generate a substantive theory with the intention of using it to inform methodology design. We learned the main concern of people involved in the process of software development is getting the job done and different points of view and expectations create impediments. People use a four stage process of Reconciling Perspectives to remove these impediments. When a perspective mismatch is discovered, people converge their mismatched perspectives by reaching out and negotiating a consensual perspective. Constructing the work products and evaluating them validates the consensual perspective. The process may yield accepted work products, providing objective evidence the perspective mismatch was reconciled, or may result in waste. Reconciling Perspectives is a social process moderated by social dynamics, and creating accepted work products depends on individuals’ abilities to reach out and engage in negotiations while also sheltering themselves from distracting interruptions. This creates a tension in the process that must be managed because to discover and converge perspective mismatches, people must be open to interruptions while also remaining focused on getting the job done. This study provides additional evidence that software development is a socio-technical process. Most software methodologies are biased towards a technical description of software as a rational process of reductive transformation and do not provide guidance for social roles. We use Reconciling Perspectives to construct guidelines that can inform the design of a scalable socio-technical software development methodology.
