description: The European Union’s AI Act establishes ethical guidelines and a regulatory framework for the development, deployment, and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems in the European Union. In this whitepaper, we provide an overview of the key provisions outlined in the EU AI Act, addressing risk-classification, stakeholder considerations, and requirements, with a particular focus on safety-critical and therefore high-risk AI systems. In the scope of the EU AI Act, AI systems are categorized based on risk levels, ranging from minimal- to unacceptable- risk, each with its corresponding set of regulatory obligations. High-risk AI systems are subject to rigorous requirements spanning risk management, data governance, transparency, and human oversight. This whitepaper delves into the specifics of Articles 9 to 15 of the EU AI Act, covering the requirements for high-risk AI systems while also identifying gaps with respect to existing safety standards. We propose a framework for bridging these gaps by deriving concrete requirements from the EU AI Act inspired by contract-based design. We leverage our expertise in trustworthy AI and safety to develop a framework for deriving argumentation trees for generic properties of Machine Learning (ML) systems. We demonstrate this framework on three practical use cases across various sectors. Our work illustrates how AI systems in safety-critical domains such as automotive, industrial automation, and healthcare can meet regulatory standards while upholding ethical principles. The EU AI Act represents a significant step towards fostering trust, accountability, and responsible innovation in AI technologies. By following systematic verification processes for EU AI Act requirements, stakeholders can navigate the complex AI landscape with confidence, ensuring the ethical development and deployment of AI systems while safeguarding human interests and values.

Il cinema come reversibilità di percezione ed espressione
Creators: name: Dalmasso, Anna Caterina
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2014

description: Merleau-Ponty is one of the very first philosophers who devoted a reflection to the seventh art: he outlined a convergence between contemporary philosophy and cinema, insofar as phenomenology and cinematographic expression shares a common vocation to “make us see the bond between subject and world, between subject and others, rather than to explain it” (The Film and the New Psychology). As Christian Metz observes, thanks to Merleau-Ponty, an entire generation of filmmakers and critics had been initiated to phenomenology and to a new comprehension of cinema. But such connection between film theory and phenomenology is not confined to an epoch or historical conjuncture: in the last two decades, the dialogue between cinema and phenomenology has originated a field of studies, which is more and more productive and fruitful. This essay aims at deepening such perspective by approaching the fundamental work of Vivian Sobchack. Drawing on phenomenology and Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy, the American cinema and media theorist has developed an original and rich reflection, which in Italy is still almost unknown.

Subjects: subject: Bilingual, Multilingual, and Multicultural Education
subject: International and Comparative Education

description: With a General Enrollment Rate (GER) of 86% in 2007, Senegal is committed to achieving the Education For All goals in 2015. But in order to achieve them, it will be necessary to identify the best strategies that allow for the enrollment of all school-age children. These children, for the most part, find themselves in the most isolated rural zones, with the bulk of the children who need schooling in high-density populated areas. Multigrade classrooms are thus an inevitable alternative in rural and urban zones with smaller populations if the country is going to achieve universal education within the given timeline.
description: This manual was designed for trainers of multigrade schoolteachers. The manual contains information on multigrade instruction as well as training activities for teachers. Five themes are addressed in this manual and each one is divided into sessions. Each session begins with the objectives, materials necessary, duration, and reading. The first part presents the goals of the training and implementation strategies as well as a frame of reference. The second part addresses the study of the various modules structured in units.

description: Idea of a sovereign film is the last important contribution Jean-François Lyotard offers to cinema. It’s a conference held on November 1995 at the French institute in Munich. The subject of the meetings is The future of cinema. In his intervention Lyotard reviews his previous positions, especially those of his essay Acinema (1973). He opens up to the analysis of narrative and representative movies and identifies there the unpredictable presence of a sovereign filmic fact.

Year: 2022

description: The calculation of savings plays a key role in assessing the extent to which energy and climate targets are being achieved. Among other things, these calculations are needed to monitor and control political support schemes, i.e., to assess their impact and to avoid "flying blind". The calculated savings depend on a large number of assumptions and caution should be exercised when comparing savings. It helps to have a transparent calculation methodology and an awareness of the possible assumptions which have been made. In the series ENERGY EXPLAINED by the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI, scientists investigate complex issues from the field of energy research and offer a clear and concise introduction to the respective topics.
A Study of Excited State Atoms in Cold Atom Traps and a test of the Reif Model to Determine Trap Depth.
Creators: name: Evetts, Nathan
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The motivation, theory and applications of atomic traps are briefly reviewed before delving into the primary motivation for the research: the disagreement between theory and experiment for the calculation of trap loss rate constants (< σv >) for Rubidium Magneto-Optical Traps. We use a pure magnetic trap to calibrate for the density of background Rubidium in our system while varying this density and measuring the loss and loading rates for multiple magnetic traps for which the trap depth has been measured previously. This variation of density allows us to infer < σv >, a quantity whose behaviour we attempt to explain in relation to the the excited state fraction of the trapped atoms. We find a strong correlation between the excited state fraction and the loss rate constant which we are, unfortunately, unable to quantify due to data quality issues. In addition to this study, experimental evidence for the confirmation of the Reif Model is provided as well as a new method (based on this model) for measuring the depth of a magneto-optical trap.

description: Strategies to tackle the long development times and high costs involved in designing and verifying analog components: The chip market is growing worldwide; it’s projected to nearly double by 2030 to over one trillion dollars. Most of this market is made up of digital functions in the form of logic, microprocessors, and memory. Although analog ICs account for only around 15% of the total, they are key components for overall systems and are therefore almost always present. In particular, they provide power management and enable special functions in the communications, automotive, and industrial sectors, among others. This article takes a closer look at the role of analog or mixed-signal circuits. One trend that leaps to the eye is how value creation takes place at the system level: the relatively small analog IP market contrasts with a much larger market for analog ICs. The reasons for this can be found in digitalization itself: analog signal processing is the basis for digital sensors and actuators, and it always forms the bridge between physical signals and the digital world. Rising demand for chips goes hand in hand with increasing requirements for performance and complexity per unit.

description: Cinema is a constant feature in the thinking of Jean-François Lyotard. The essay Acinema (1973) is his most known contribution to cinema, but if we stop here, we risk having a partial idea of the path of the philosopher totally linked to experimental film. After two decades, the analysis of Idea of a sovereign film (1995) helps us to find the acinema in the windows of sovereign realities opened inside narrative and representative movies.

title: The assessment of the mechanical and physical properties of in situ timber
Creators: name: Bather, Michael
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2022

description: The estimation of the properties of in situ timber elements is an essential part of the structural appraisal of many existing buildings and structures around the world. Current methods of doing this are (i) inappropriate, as they utilise visual grading codes of practice intended for use on large batches of new timber and not for use on individual pieces of timber, (ii) inaccurate, as the visual grading parameters used are only weakly correlated with timber’s mechanical and physical properties, and finally, (iii) imprecise, as they utilise strength classification, which groups all timber into a small number of classes with associated characteristic properties. Additionally, no current methods of NDT nor SDT adequately account for the immense variability of in situ timber in the UK to estimate properties in accordance with the Eurocodes. Therefore, better methods are needed. This study (i) researches the contexts and background of in situ structural timber in the UK and (ii) takes a practical structural engineering approach to develop models that combine visual observations, NDT and SDT to estimate characteristic values of MoE, MoR and density, in a manner consistent with the Eurocodes and in a way that accounts for the variability of in situ timber. This exploratory study also demonstrates the ineffectiveness of the practice of treating knots as voids, as the resulting strength reduction factors are shown to be only very weakly correlated with MoR (regardless of whether the factors are derived from first principles or calculated using the US code ASTM D245). Statistical techniques such as quantile regression (and bootstrapping to find the confidence intervals around quantiles) are applied to timber data in a novel way to develop new predictive models. New knot measures and ratios are developed with predictive powers superior to current measures and ratios. Significant factors such as selection bias and potential prior grading and the deterioration of wood during its life in service are considered and accounted for in novel ways in relation to the models. The study is based on a sample of new UK grown structural sized timber joists of four lesser used species (n=527) and so, further work is required to improve the models. The most useful outcomes of the study are (i) a methodology for the appraisal of the properties of in situ timber in accordance with the Eurocodes and (ii) an outline of what is required in the future to improve them.
Schermo delle mie brame. Lyotard e un cinema che si chiama desiderio
Creators: name: Carbone, Mauro
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2014

description: In the early 1970s, Jean-François Lyotard stated that “a true mutation of desire” is at work in our epoch and began to explore this mutation in cinema too. Through specific reference to Jacques Lacan’s “mirror stage” theory, Lyotard suggested that the cinematic screen can be considered as a kind of social mirror. Also, he linked the contemporary mutation of desire to a possible mutation of the role of the cinematic screen as a surface to make seen. Critically discussing these points, I argue that we may connect the XXth century – meant as the century of cinema – to a progressive affirmation of a different way of conceiving the giving of the true. Such a way shall slip from a theatrical apparatus (that is, par excellence, a representative apparatus opening up through the opening of a curtain) to a sort of cinematographic apparatus.

description: In this paper, the intensive temporality at work in cinematographic images will be the object of a study, which starting from Deleuze’s Time-image and from Deleuze’s lectures on Kant, will lead to the definition of an intensity-image, as elementary type of desire-image. Thanks to the Alain Resnais and Alain Robbe-Grillet’s film, L’année dernière à Marienbad, we will confront two types of time-images, one grounded on a pure past, and another one on a de-actualized present. We will consider as well the role of desire at work in both of them, expressing what could be considered as the actual latency in Deleuze’s works on cinema.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) market share has been growing rapidly in the last few decades. The composites are typically used in the commercial residence decking. Other than that, they could be used as rails, floorings, window and door frames and automotive interior. In Chapter 1 of this thesis paper, writer will discuss in detail the advantages and disadvantages that WPC offers to its customers as well as to homebuilders. In addition, there will also discussion on how to manufacture WPC, including the raw materials and the process itself. Lastly, we will analyze how WPC penetrates into the market and take over the traditional solid wood lumbers. Chapter 2 will provide an in depth discussion on the physical properties of WPC. There are three properties that will be discussed; thermal properties, mechanical properties and manufacturing properties. In thermal test, we will see how temperature affects the mechanical properties. Meanwhile, in the mechanical properties section, we will also learn how additional wood content could increase the strength of the final products. Furthermore, we will analyze how WPC wears the cutting tools compared to other wood products. Lastly, we will provide information on how WPC can hold fastener in place better than its competitors. One of the advantages that WPC possesses is the fact that it is biodegradable and recyclable. In Chapter 3 of this thesis, writer will provide an in depth discussion on the challenges in the recycling process and how the environmental factors affect the recycling of the composites. Finally, there will be a thorough summary on the thesis on Chapter 4. As well, writer will provide his personal thought regarding the future of WPC market share in North America.

description: In reinforcement learning, conducting task composition by forming cohesive, executable sequences from multiple tasks remains challenging. However, the ability to (de)compose tasks is a linchpin in developing robotic systems capable of learning complex behaviors. Yet, compositional reinforcement learning is beset with difficulties, including the high dimensionality of the problem space, scarcity of rewards, and absence of system robustness after task composition. To surmount these challenges, we view task composition through the prism of category theory -- a mathematical discipline exploring structures and their compositional relationships. The categorical properties of Markov decision processes untangle complex tasks into manageable sub-tasks, allowing for strategical reduction of dimensionality, facilitating more tractable reward structures, and bolstering system robustness. Experimental results support the categorical theory of reinforcement learning by enabling skill reduction, reuse, and recycling when learning complex robotic arm tasks.

Holstein polaron in a pseudospin-$1$ quantum spin Hall system: first and second order topological phase transitions

description: We theoretically propose the occurrence of a quantum spin Hall (QSH) and a second order topological phase transition (TPT) driven by electron-phonon (e-p) coupling in a pseudospin-$1$ fermionic system on an $α$-$T_3$ lattice. Our model is formulated in the spirit of the Kane-Mele model modified by the Holstein Hamiltonian. The Lang-Firsov approach is employed to describe polarons reasonably well in the anti-adiabatic (high frequency) limit and to obtain an effective electronic Hamiltonian. It is shown that the system possesses topologically nontrivial phases up to a critical e-p coupling, $λ_c$ and are characterized by the helical QSH edge states along with a non-zero $\mathbb{Z}_2$ invariant for a certain range of $α$. The topological phase vanishes beyond $λ_c$ and is accompanied by a bulk gap closing transition at $λ_c$, manifesting a TPT. We observe a more intriguing phenomenon for higher values of $α$, where the system exhibits TPTs supported by two distinct gap closing transitions at $λ_{c_1}$ and $λ_{c_2}$, while a slim region at slightly lower values hosts a semi-metallic signature below $λ_{c_1}$. Subsequently, to explore more intricate features, we introduce a time reversal symmetry breaking magnetic field to trigger the formation of a second order topological phase. The magnetic field, by construction causes a boundary dependent gapping out of the edge states, consequently giving rise to robust corner modes in a tailored open boundary conditions. We justify the formation of the higher order phase by employing an appropriate invariant, namely the projected spin Chern number. Finally, we show that the e-p coupling significantly influences the corner modes (and also the real space energy bandstructure), corroborating a higher order TPT as we tune $λ$ beyond a critical value for a given value of $α$.

Statistical characteristics of particles on a liquid surface
Creators: name: Backer, Lara

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The purpose of this project was to measure statistical properties of a multi-particle system of rod-like particles, approximately 10mm in length and 1mm in diameter, placed on the surface of a fluid in a funnel as it drains, serving to hasten the surface tension effects due to the “Cheerios Effect”. Top-view images of the system were automatically captured as the experiment progressed and the fluid drained. Approximately five images were selected from fifteen experiments. The particles in the images were identified using MATLAB and Image J, and the data was run through MATLAB scripts that generated radial, orientation, and void area (areas of fluid enclosed by particles) distribution plots that denoted the packing efficiency of the particles. The radial distribution plots, denoting the probability density of particles encountered at different distances from a reference particle were found to be more or less independent of initial configuration and the rate of the fluid draining from the funnel; in all experiments, the probability of encountering a particle at a distance of one particle width increased over time. Similarly, for orientation distribution plots, the initial configuration and rate of fluid draining did not seem to have a large impact on the final configuration of particles, but it was noted that at the end of experiments, the particles tended to be oriented in the same direction, particularly for particles at one particle width from each other, as expected. The void area distributions indicated that the cylindrical particles tend to pack efficiently because the number of smaller void areas increased with time for all experiments, found by comparing the initial void area distribution to the final distribution. Running experiments with different initial particle concentrations (numbers of particles present) and measuring the radial, orientation, and void area distributions would further support or contradict results of this project, which indicate that the final configuration’s distribution functions would always be the same. Furthermore, the method of detecting void areas can be improved to distinguish void areas which are almost enclosed by particles, but due to a small connection to a larger void area are not considered isolated. This could provide a better gauge of the packing efficiency of the cylindrical particles.

ANALISYS OF THE ORAL INTERACTION PROCESSES AT "INSTITUCIÓN EDUCATIVA TÉCNICA AGROPECUARIA LA CANDELARIA, PONEDERA".
Creators: name: Valenzuela, Carol
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015
Subjects: Oral Interaction

description: Oral interaction represents one of the most essential components to acquire knowledge and there is a close relation between learning and the development of students´ oral communication in English, which is one of the most complex challenges for many public high school teachers of the Atlantic Coast of Colombia. This analysis reports the strategies implemented by the teacher to promote oral interaction, how interaction takes place in the classroom, and which of the strategies implemented by the teacher promote or hinder students´ oral communication in English. The theoretical framework focuses on the review of communicative language approaches, researchers and components which were discussed to identify the oral interaction processes at “Institución Educativa Técnica Agropecuaria La Candelaria, ponedera”. Data was collected through classroom observations, interviews and school documents. The results show that teachers’ strategies to promote oral interaction in this context have little contribution to the development of students´ oral communication in English. The conclusions place a strong emphasis about the importance of scaffolding and comprehensible input in the development of oral communication skill. Also, this justifies how the development of communicative competence influences oral communication skills.

Il belluscone
Creators: name: Cecchi, Dario
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2014

description: The paper analyses a movie recently appeared in Italy, Belluscone (2014) by Franco Maresco. The title refers to the deformation of Berlusconi’s name in Sicily. The movie does not speak, however, of the typically Italian “hero” Berlusconi, but of “Belluscone” that is the link for a common feeling whose Sicily is an exemplary case. Through the reference to Lyotard and Jauss among the others, the aim is to show that “Belluscone” is no longer a symbolic disposition, and becomes a sensible surface of contact to which everybody connects in order to have an experience. With its Baroque and ambiguous investigation of “bellusconian” Palermo, the movie makes no exception.

Adapted endoscope for underwater exploration
Creators: name: Strang, Andrew

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: This report describes the development of an endoscopic camera for the purpose of exploring small underwater caverns. The project sponsor, Dr. Jeff Marliave of the Vancouver Aquarium, has been pursuing research into the hibernal behavior of rockfish in the waters of Howe Sound, and he required a device capable of maneuvering into the hibernation caverns and rock piles for observation of the fish. After several initial solutions were analyzed and tested, it became apparent that the most feasible idea was to modify an existing endoscopic camera by attaching it to a flexible, controllable arm, which has been named the "mechanical spine". This device was developed as a purely mechanical solution which would be simple to control, simple to build, and robust. There were several challenges to overcome during development. The device's user interface was required to be simple, accurate and unobtrusive, and durability was a major concern considering the operating conditions. Maximizing the penetration distance of the camera into the caverns was also an important design consideration. After several iterations of the design and subsequent discussions with Dr. Marliave's team, it became apparent that the device could achieve the minimal requirements of the project, but would require further development to be proven reliable and effective for continued use.

Antoine Doinel e la commedia dell’Edipo
Creators: name: Bodini, Jacopo
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2014

description: «Dramas and tragedies are written about [the revolt of the son against the father], yet in reality it is material for comedy»: Deleuze and Guattari claim that the best way to reverse the Oedipus is to make it comic, instead of dramatic. The “Adventures of Doinel”, realized by François Truffaut, could be then the Oedipus comedy wished for by Deleuze and Guattari, accomplishing an anti-Oedipal revolution of the conception of desire, reversed by the productive nature of desire itself, affirmed through the mise en scène of the artistic production.

Foto con signora. Omaggio a 'L’amore fugge' di François Truffaut
Creators: name: Bignamini, Paolo
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2014

description: Love on the Run (L'amour en fuite, France, 1979) is François Truffaut’s latest film featuring the fictional character of Antoine Doinel. By means of flashbacks from other films of the «Doinel series»,  the film goes over the protagonist’s love mishaps. Picture with a Lady is a drama experiment applied to movie making, a fictional creation that makes its way through what was unrevealed in Love on the Run, and tells, in the folds of the unsaid, a love story imagined but already implied in the film. A love story both inevitable and impossible.

description: In medical research, understanding changes in outcome measurements is crucial for inferring shifts in health conditions. However, traditional methods often struggle with large, irregularly longitudinal data and fail to account for the tendency of individuals in poorer health to interact more frequently with the healthcare system. Additionally, clinical data can lack information on terminating events like death. To address these challenges, we start from the continuous-time hidden Markov model which models observed data as outcomes influenced by latent health states. Our extension incorporates a point process to account for the impact of health states on observation timings and includes a "death" state to model unobserved terminating events through a Poisson process, where transition rates depend on the latent health state. This approach captures both the severity of the disease and the timing of healthcare interactions. We present an exact Gibbs sampler procedure that alternates between sampling the latent health state paths and the model parameters. By including the "death" state, we mitigate biases in parameter estimation that would arise from solely modelling "live" health states. Simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed Gibbs sampler performs effectively. We apply our method to Canadian healthcare data, offering valuable insights for healthcare management.
