description: White dwarfs are the most common stellar remnants. Furthermore, as being old objects, their study could shed new light on different questions related to the history, formation and evolution of the Galaxy. Despite these objects have been broadly studied from a theoretical point of view, the observational data has been limited to a poor statistical sample, due to the intrinsic low luminosity of white dwarfs. However, thanks to the recent Gaia DR3, for the first time, a significant sample of the White dwarf population of our Galaxy, containing around 13,000 objects up to 100 pc from the Sun, has been obtained. Such data, in particular its colour-magnitude diagram, provides the ideal scenario for extracting the maximum information. This communication reports a work-in-progress of a widely applied technique for recovering the star formation history of galaxies through its color-magnitude diagram applied, in this case, for first time to the local White dwarf population.

description: Over the past few years, there has been a growing interest in layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). Most studies so far have focused on the electronic and optoelectronic properties of single-layer MoS2, whose band structure features a direct bandgap, in sharp contrast to the indirect bandgap of thicker MoS2. In this paper, we present a systematic study of the thickness-dependent electrical and thermoelectric properties of few-layer MoS2. We observe that the electrical conductivity () increases as we reduce the thickness of MoS2 and peaks at about two layers, with six-time larger conductivity than our thickest sample (23-layer MoS2). Using a back-gate voltage, we modulate the Fermi energy () of the sample where an increase in the Seebeck coefficient () is observed with decreasing gate voltage () towards the subthreshold (OFF state) of the device, reaching as large as in a four-layer MoS2. While previous reports have focused on a single-layer MoS2 and measured Seebeck coefficient in the OFF state, which has vanishing electrical conductivity and thermoelectric power factor (), we show that MoS2-based devices in their ON state can have as large as in the two-layer sample. The increases with decreasing thickness then drops abruptly from double-layer to single-layer MoS2, a feature we suggest as due to a change in the energy dependence of the electron mean-free-path according to our theoretical calculation. Moreover, we show that care must be taken in thermoelectric measurements in the OFF state to avoid obtaining erroneously large Seebeck coefficients when the channel resistance is very high. Our study paves the way towards a more comprehensive examination of the thermoelectric performance of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors.

title:  Arturo Rocco inconsapevole antesignano del fascismo nell’Italia liberale
Creators: name: Garlati, Loredana
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2015

description: Il saggio si propone di offrire una lettura in chiave problematica del rapporto tra Arturo Rocco e il fascismo. Un’analisi approfondita della produzione scientifica dell’autore negli anni precedenti l’ascesa del regime rivela come nell’Italia liberale (e nel pensiero del Nostro) fossero già presenti in nuce quegli elementi che diverranno capisaldi dell’ideologia e della legislazione negli anni della dittatura. Nessuna presunta ‘conversione’, quindi, è imputabile a Rocco, ma una lunga gestazione di princìpi di cui il fascismo si nutrì, in una sorta di ribaltamento di prospettiva che ha fino ad ora caratterizzato il giudizio su Rocco. Anche la celebre prolusione sassarese con cui si diede avvio al metodo tecnico-giuridico merita una precisa contestualizzazione nel clima culturale dell’Italia di allora, per coglierne i tratti e le finalità originarie, depurati da quegli automatismi che ne caratterizzarono l’impiego negli anni a venire.

description: We study the oscillatory behavior of radial solutions of the nonlinear partial differential equation Δu + f(u) + g(|x|, u) = 0 inRn, where f and g are continuous restoring functions, uf(u) > 0 and ug(|x|, u) > 0 for u ≠ 0. We assume that for fixedq limu → 0(|f(u)|/|u|q) = B > 0, for 1 < q < n/(n − 2), and, additionally, that 2F(u) ≥ (1 − 2/n)uf(u) when n/(n − 2) ≤ q < (n + 2)/(n − 2), where F(u) = ∫u0f(s)ds. We give conditions that guarantee that the solution oscillates infinitely and tends to zero asr → ∞. Finally, we give bounds for the amplitude of the oscillations and show that the period of the oscillations increases asr → ∞.

description: The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria drives the need for advanced methods to identify antimicrobial-resistance (AMR) genes in bacterial pathogens. With the availability of whole genome sequences, best-hit methods can be used to identify AMR genes by differentiating unknown sequences with known AMR sequences in existing online repositories. Nevertheless, these methods may not perform well when identifying resistance genes with sequences having low sequence identity with known sequences. In this dissertation we present two machine learning approaches that use protein sequences, with sequence identity ranging between 10% and 90%, as an alternative to conventional DNA sequence alignment-based approaches for identifying putative AMR genes in Gram-negative bacteria. We applied both graph and game theories to choose which protein characteristics to use in our machine learning model and were able to predict AMR protein sequences for Gram-negative bacteria with an accuracy ranging from 88% to 100%. In order to obtain similar classification results, identity thresholds as low as 53% were required when using BLASTp. We also extended our game theory-based study for AMR prediction to focus on Gram-positive bacteria and achieved accuracies between 87% and 90%. As the analysis and tracking of antimicrobial utilization is crucial in antimicrobial stewardship efforts in order to find effective interventions for controlling antimicrobial resistance, standard risk adjustment models are needed for benchmarking appropriate antimicrobial utilization and for fair inter-facility comparison. We identified patient- and facility-level predictors in hospitalized patients using a machine learning approach, which can be used to inform a risk adjustment model to facilitate assessment of antimicrobial utilization. Candidate features (predictors) were generated from patient admission records. The number of features was then reduced using a statistical approach, and missing values of the reduced feature set were imputed using bootstrapping and an expectation-maximization algorithm. Finally, support vector regression (SVR) and cubist regression (CB) models were applied to find root mean square error (RMSE) values which were used to evaluate the selected feature set. SVR and CB RMSE values were found to be superior to those found using both linear and negative binomial null models, thereby demonstrating the effectiveness of our selected feature set.

Nello specifico, la lettera traccia a rebours le fasi salienti del percorso che condusse Solmi ad avvicinarsi al fascismo: la sua prima esperienza politica legata alla  corrente del nazionalismo liberale maturata  nel corso del primo decennio del Novecento; la stagione della guerra; l’approdo al nazionalismo a seguito della sua elezione a consigliere  nelle amministrative milanesi del 1920 che lo vide coinvolto in un’«opera di assiduo e costante fiancheggiatore del fascismo»; la nomina nel 1924 a deputato del partito liberale nazionale che gli consentì di portare avanti la sua «continua costante opera di valorizzazione del partito nazionale fascista, che ebbe in me», sottolinea Solmi, «uno degli esponenti più in vista […] della corrente nettamente devota al fascismo e al duce».

description: Come ha più d’una volta ribadito il figlio Giuliano, Pietro Bonfante  non fu mai un nazionalista. Lo dimostra, in primo luogo, il suo atteggiamento sulla Dalmazia. Egli, soprattutto per ragioni storico-demografiche, contrastò ogni velleità d’annessione di queste terre. Descriverlo come avversario del colonialismo è senza dubbio inesatto, ma Pietro Bonfante – lo attesta la sua memoria in difesa di re Faysal di Siria – condannò decisamente la politica francese e inglese in Medio Oriente e l’accordo Sykes-Picot. Egli inoltre, a differenza dei nazionalisti, in politica economica fu un liberista, sebbene rifugisse anche in questo campo ogni dogmatismo. Fin dal 1915 si convinse che il ciclo storico del dominio mondiale europeo stesse per chiudersi e che Il futuro appartenesse ormai alle nuove realtà continentali e, in particolare, agli Stati Uniti d’America. L’unica via di salvezza per il vecchio continente era l’unione politica di Francia, Italia , paesi latini e Germania. La sua adesione al fascismo – mai sincera – fu distaccata e prudente e non gli impedì,  in pieno 1925, di avanzare progetti di riforma ispirati al costituzionalismo liberale.

description: Purpose Pediatric injuries pose a significant health burden in sub-Saharan Africa, though historic data are too scarce to appreciate the extent of the problem. The purpose of this study is to utilize a comprehensive database to describe the epidemiology of pediatric injuries at a tertiary hospital in Malawi. Methods Data were prospectively collected on patients presenting to the emergency department for treatment of injuries from 2008 to 2010 (n = 23,625). The subset of pediatric patients (n = 7233) underwent cross-sectional analysis to examine demographics, injury environment, timing and mechanisms. Results Pediatric patients, (0–16 years) comprised 30.6% of all trauma patients. Mean age was 7.2 years. Falls were the most common injury (43%), followed by burns (11.1%), pedestrian road traffic injuries (9.7%), foreign bodies (7.5%), and assaults (7.2%). Statistically significant differences in injury pattern were observed between gender, age groups and season. After logistic regression, predictors of fall included male gender, home setting, and rainy season, whereas predictors of burn included female gender, age 0–5 yrs, home setting, and cold season. Predictors of pedestrian injury included age 6–10 yrs, female, and roadside setting. Predictors of foreign body ingestion included age 0–5 yrs, female gender, home setting, and daytime, and predictors of assault include male gender, age 11–16 yrs, nighttime hours. All predictors were statistically significant (p Conclusions This study revealed patterns of injury based upon age, gender, location, and season. Our results may prove useful to stakeholders in injury prevention for designing, evaluating, and implementing programs to improve public safety in children in Malawi and similar resource poor nations.

title:  Dall’adesione alla disillusione. La parabola del fascismo nella lettura panpenalistica di Luigi Lucchini
Creators: name: Miletti, Marco Nicola
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2015

description: Autorevole esponente della penalistica ‘liberale’, all’avvento del fascismo Luigi Lucchini si presentava quale anziano superstite d’una generazione che aveva visto nel diritto, e in particolare in quello penale, il perno d’un assetto costituzionale in grado di garantire al giovane Regno d’Italia l’equilibrio tra i poteri, il rispetto delle garanzie individuali, l’ordine pubblico. Proprio l’esigenza di sicurezza, al termine del biennio rosso, spinse Lucchini, che si era esposto sino a qualificare delitto il socialismo militante, a sostenere l’ascesa di Mussolini. La sintonia, però, fu breve: già all’inizio del 1924 il penalista si accorse che il governo brandiva con disinvoltura l’arma dei poteri straordinari ed esprimeva una «volontà più che dittatoriale». Il dissenso esplose con il delitto Matteotti e procurò a Lucchini, oltre all’isolamento scientifico, serie incomprensioni che ebbero anche spiacevoli risvolti giudiziari. Gli ultimi sforzi del giurista patavino furono tesi a rinverdire l’eredità della penalistica ‘civile’, in contrapposizione ai criteri che guidavano l’azione codificatrice del guardasigilli Alfredo Rocco.

Il saggio, nella consapevolezza di dover distinguere ideologia e teoria giuridica, ripercorre il percorso scientifico del giurista nelle sue interconnessioni con l’importante attività istituzionale. Se nel pensiero del Romano – discepolo e amico di V.E. Orlando – la ‘crisi’ dello stato liberale è già lucidamente denunciata nel 1909, è soprattutto durante gli anni della presidenza da Consiglio di Stato che si può meglio valutare l’impatto della realtà dell’amministrazione statale con la sua famosa teoria istituzionale.

description: Information-theoretical security of quantum key distribution (QKD) has been convincingly proven in recent years and remarkable experiments have shown the potential of QKD for real world applications. Due to its unique capability of combining high key rate and security in a realistic finite-size scenario, the efficient version of the BB84 QKD protocol endowed with decoy states has been subject of intensive research. Its recent experimental implementation finally demonstrated a secure key rate beyond 1 Mbps over a 50 km optical fiber. However the achieved rate holds under the restrictive assumption that the eavesdropper performs collective attacks. Here, we review the protocol and generalize its security. We exploit a map by Ahrens to rigorously upper bound the Hypergeometric distribution resulting from a general eavesdropping. Despite the extended applicability of the new protocol, its key rate is only marginally smaller than its predecessor in all cases of practical interest.

Documentation Analysis

description: Alongside case studies and interviews, documentation analysis and review of varying kinds and levels of sophistication forms one of the top three parts of qualitative social science. In this session, Professor Patrick Dunleavy and Dr Timothy Monteath focused on contemporary or fully publicly available document and text sources where access for replication purposes is feasible, and where a full set of documents can be read or sampled. Thus, their scope included a vast range of government, parliamentary, public policy, sub-national government documentation (especially available under freedom of information), plus publicly available documentation of corporations, firms and NGOs, and a wide range of media outputs in text/document or other formats. (They reserved discussion documents in formal archives with restrictive access needing specialist skills, such as many historical archives, for a later session). Open social science aims to enhance the confidence that readers can respond in the presentation and interpretation of documentary evidence, strengthening the replicability, robustness and generalizability of studies using this key methods tool. Key steps include: Strengthening the systematic nature of documentation identification, search and summarization via content analysis, and QCA/set-based methods; Developing improved quantitative summaries of documentation contents and memes; Making more evidence crucial for qualitative judgements accessible for inspection or counter-interpretation; Pre-specifying hypotheses and propositions, and narratively recording the evolution of analyses or interpretations; Making more explicit and ‘stress-testing’ the posited links between particular evidence and analytic judgements; Complementing open social science approaches for interview-based research (see here) and case studies (forthcoming). This event was part of a series of workshops organised to support the development of the CIVICA Research Open Science Handbook for the Social Sciences.

description: BACKGROUND: Injuries are the ninth leading cause of death in the world and disproportionately affect low- and middle-income countries. Head injury is the leading cause of trauma death. This study examines the epidemiology and outcomes of traumatic head injury presenting to a tertiary hospital in Malawi, in order to determine effective triage in a resource limited setting. METHODS: The study was conducted at Kamuzu Central Hospital (KCH) in Lilongwe Malawi during a three-month period. Vital signs and Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) were prospectively collected for all patients that presented to the casualty department secondary to head injury. All head injury admissions were followed until death or discharge. RESULTS: During the three-month study period, 4411 patients presented to KCH secondary to trauma and 841 (19%) had a head injury. A multivariate logistic regression model revealed that GCS and heart rate changes correlated strongly with mortality. There is a four-fold increase in the odds of mortality in moderate versus mild head injury based on GCS. CONCLUSION: In a resource limited setting, basic trauma tools such as GCS and heart rate can effectively triage head injury patients, who comprise the most critically ill trauma patients. Improvements in head injury outcome require multifaceted efforts including the development of a trauma system to improve pre-hospital care.

description: Introduction: There are significant resource challenges to burn surgical care delivery in low and middle-income countries at baseline and only a few burn cost analysis studies from sub-Saharan Africa have been performed. Methods This is a retrospective database analysis of prospectively collected data from all patients recorded in the burn registry between June 2011 and August 2014 located at the Kamuzu Central Hospital Burn Unit in Lilongwe, Malawi. We utilized activity-based costing, a bottom-up cost analysis methodology with cost allocation that allows determination of unit cost or cost per service. Results 905 patients were admitted to the burn unit during the study period. The calculated total monthly burn expenditure for all cost centers was $11,622.66. Per day, the total unit cost was $387.42 with a mean daily per-patient cost of $24.26 (SD ± $6.44). Consequently, the mean cost per in-patient admission was $559.85 (SD ± $736.17). The mean daily cost per 1% total burn surface per patient at our center is $2.65 (SD ± $3.01).DiscussionThis burn care cost analysis study helps quantify the relative contribution of differing cost centers that comprise burn care delivery and hospital costs in a sub-Saharan African setting. Accurate and relevant cost information on hospital services at the patient level is therefore fundamental for policy makers, payers, and hospitals. Conclusion Our study has demonstrated that comprehensive burn care is possible at a cost much lower than found in other burn centers in low or middle-income countries and can be sustained with moderate funding.

description: Given a flow on a surface, we consider the problem of connecting two distinct trajectories by a curve of extremal (absolute) instantaneous flux. We develop a complete classification of flux optimal curves, accounting for the possibility of the flux having spatially and temporally varying weight. This weight enables modelling the flux of non-equilibrium distributions of tracer particles, pollution concentrations, or active scalar fields such as vorticity. Our results are applicable to all smooth autonomous flows, area preserving or not.

Is the sexual behaviour of young people in sub-Saharan Africa influenced by their peers? A systematic review

description: Adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa are highly vulnerable to HIV, other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended pregnancies. Evidence for the effectiveness of individual behaviour change interventions in reducing incidence of HIV and other biological outcomes is limited, and the need to address the social conditions in which young people become sexually active is clear. Adolescents' peers are a key aspect of this social environment and could have important influences on sexual behaviour. There has not yet been a systematic review on the topic in sub-Saharan Africa.

description: Background: Our aim was to gain insight into the experiences of women suffering from the urinary component of the Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) and to understand the impact of urinary complaints as part of GSM on the lives of affected women. Design: Qualitative study. Setting: Online, primary care. Participants and methods: Postmenopausal women aged from 46 to 85 years reporting vaginal and urinary complaints were recruited to participate in either online or face-to-face focus groups to share their experiences with urinary complaints as part of GSM. Transcripts of sessions were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Results: One online focus group, one face-to-face focus group and one online-interview were conducted, involving 11 women. Five a priori assumed main themes related to the impact of urogenital symptoms were identified: daily life, emotional well-being, sexual functioning, self-concept and body image, and interpersonal relations and communication. Additionally, two further themes associated with GMS as a clinical condition were inductively found: unmet healthcare needs, including expectations of affected women regarding menopausal symptoms and a lack of adequate health education, and aspects on the personal dealing with the complaints, including personal coping strategies and medical treatment. Conclusions: This study showed that urinary complaints as part of GSM have, similar to vaginal complaints, negative impacts on the daily life, the emotional well-being, the sexual functioning, the self-concept and body impact as well as interpersonal relations and communication of affected women. We further identified several unmet healthcare needs that should trigger improvements in healthcare.

description: Objectives The optimal diagnostic specimen to detect SARS-CoV-2 by PCR in the upper respiratory tract is unclear. Mouthwash fluid has been reported as an alternative to nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs. We compared mouthwash fluid with a combined oro-nasopharyngeal swab regarding test performance. Methods In a large refugee facility, we retested individuals with a previous positive test for SARS-CoV-2 and their quarantined close contacts. All individuals were asymptomatic at the time of testing. First, a mouthwash (gargling for at least 5 s) with sterile water was performed. Then, with a single flocked swab the back of the throat and subsequently the nasopharynx were sampled. Samples were inactivated and analysed on a Roche cobas 6800 ® system with the Roche SARS-CoV-2 test. Results Of 76 individuals, 39 (51%) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 by oro-nasopharyngeal swab. Mouthwash detected 13 of 76 (17%) infections, but did not detect any additional infection. Samples that were positive in both tests, had lower cycle threshold (Ct)-values for oro-nasopharyngeal samples, indicating a higher virus concentration, compared to samples only positive in oro-nasopharyngeal swabs. Conclusion Mouthwash is not as sensitive as combined oro-nasopharyngeal swab in detecting upper respiratory tract infection.
Mathematical Formalization of Cobits: Technical Note Thermodynamic Coherence and the Origins of Quantization
Creators: name: Todd, Ian
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This technical note provides a rigorous mathematical foundation for the cobit framework introduced in “Bits, Cobits, and Qubits: Partial Coherence in Dissipative Systems.” We formalize cobits using complex number representation, define entropy flow continuity in terms of phase stability, and establish a thermodynamic basis for quantization. This mathematical formalization demonstrates how cobits bridge classical and quantum information while providing a framework for analyzing partially coherent states maintained by continuous entropy flow in dissipative systems.
Path algebras, wave-particle duality, and quantization of phase space

description: Semigroup algebras admit certain `coherent' deformations which, in the special case of a path algebra, may associate a periodic function to an evolving path; for a particle moving freely on a straight line after an initial impulse, the wave length is that hypothesized by de Broglie's wave-particle duality. This theory leads to a model of "physical" phase space of which mathematical phase space, the cotangent bundle of configuration space, is a projection. This space is singular, quantized at the Planck level, its structure implies the existence of spin, and the spread of a packet can be described as a random walk. The wavelength associated to a particle moving in this space need not be constant and its phase can change discontinuously.

title:  Excusatio non petita, accusatio manifesta. Giorgio del Vecchio e Giovanni Gentile: la sfortuna del giurista e la ‘fortuna’ del filosofo
Creators: name: Petrillo, Francesco
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2015

description: Il saggio si interroga sulle cause, prima ancora che sugli effetti, della polemica tra Giorgio Del Vecchio e Giovanni Gentile, nell’ambito dello scenario culturale fascista. Più che seguire una traccia storica sui perché delle divergenze teoretiche, nella cultura fascista e nell’idealismo italiano, propone un’analisi filosofica sui germi del neoidealismo italiano, che, nel loro diverso utilizzo, si mostrano come il motivo dominante della differente costruzione giuridico-concettuale di due diverse filosofie del diritto. Da un’analisi attenta delle fonti risulta facile, infatti, riscontrare come ci fosse consapevolezza, nei due studiosi dell’età fascista, che la divergenza di pensiero giuridico dipendesse da una divergenza di Weltanschauung filosofica, prima ancora che politica. Rileva, in tal senso, particolarmente, il diverso utilizzo fatto da entrambi della filosofia di Antonio Rosmini Serbati al fine di studiare il senso filosofico dei distinguo giuridico-concettuali. In effetti, la filosofia giuridica di Del Vecchio, rispetto a quella di Gentile, si caratterizza per un’assenza di confronto con i temi - sempre più diffusi nelle Facoltà di Filosofia, ma non in quelle di Giurisprudenza, italiane in quegli anni - della Riforma spaventiana della dialettica di Hegel rispetto a quelli neokantiani.  L’interesse alle differenze tra le costruzioni concettuali non può però trascurare la vicenda della conflittualità antropologica, prima ancora che politica, tra i due antagonisti. Il conflitto dell’uomo con l’uomo diventa centrale, ancora una volta, attraverso le idee di fortuna e sfortuna in politica, punti di partenza e di conclusione del saggio.
