Pronunciamento per i Chaladrioi e Deucalione
Creators: name: Valente, Marcello
Publisher: name: Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2018

description:

The ϝράτρα for the Chaladrioi and Deukalion falls under a definite group of Elean documents, archaic and classical, that is the oracular pronouncements enacted by Olympian Zeus for the Eleans and their dependent political communities, whether allies, perioikoi, or members of an alleged Elean confederacy. The god instructs the Chaladrioi (a political community which is elsewhere unattested) to bestow on the foreign Deukalion and his descent citizenship and some distinctive privileges (isoproxeny and isodamiurgy). These privileges enable him ‘to speak in the god’s presence’, with the same authority that lies with Olympian officials and the Elean damos, and to take care of the sole Chaladrian land in Pisa, relevant to the Olympian sanctuary. This land, allocated to a new citizen receiving special honours, seems actually linked to the Olympian sanctuary – whether consecrated or not – by the pronouncement of Zeus for the first time. After the Persian Wars, Pindar and Bacchylides started to sing about Pisa as the very place of the Olympian Games and the sanctuary of Zeus reached a new level of Panhellenic renown, which was emphasised in the construction of the first temple of the god and other important building activities (such as the enlargement and partial displacement of the stadium) and surely brought about a lot of new visitors and pilgrims, in need of hosting land.

La legge di Taso sul vino e l'aceto
Creators: name: Valente, Marcello
Publisher: name: Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2018

description: This fragmentary inscription found at Thasos and dated approximately to the second quarter of the 5th century preserves the most ancient law about wine and vinegar trade in the Greek world. Since the inscription is mutilated, the prohibition prescribed in it is unknown, but if someone violated the law his wares were confiscated, whereas a fine worth of a sixth of their value was to be paid to Athena Poliouchos and Apollos Pythios and another fine of the same amount was to be paid to the delator. These measures show the public interest in wine trade in classical Thasos, allowing to compare this inscription to several contemporary documents concerning other rules about wine trade. Among the rules referred to by this inscription, there is one that forbade the use of the oath of non-involvement with the disputed facts, like similar judicial tools attested elsewhere. The Three Hundred in charge of collecting bails paid to bring a case to court was not an arm of an oligarchic government with judicial powers, but more likely a mere judicial body.

description: The representation theory of the symmetric groups S_n is intimately related to combinatorics: combinatorial objects such as Young tableaux and combinatorial algorithms such as Murnaghan-Nakayama rule. In the limit as n tends to infinity, the structure of these combinatorial objects and algorithms becomes complicated and it is hard to extract from them some meaningful answers to asymptotic questions. In order to overcome these difficulties, a kind of dual combinatorics of the representation theory of the symmetric groups was initiated in 1990s. We will concentrate on one of its highlights: Kerov polynomials which express characters in terms of, so called, free cumulants.

description: Learning from imbalanced class distributions generally leads to a classifier that is not able to distinguish classes with few training examples from the other classes. In the context of cultural heritage, addressing this problem becomes important when existing digital online collections consisting of images depicting artifacts and assigned semantic annotations shall be completed automatically; images with known annotations can be used to train a classifier that predicts missing information, where training data is often highly imbalanced. In the present paper, combining a classification loss with an auxiliary clustering loss is proposed to improve the classification performance particularly for underrepresented classes, where additionally different sampling strategies are applied. The proposed auxiliary loss aims to cluster feature vectors with respect to the semantic annotations as well as to visual properties of the images to be classified and thus, is supposed to help the classifier in distinguishing individual classes. We conduct an ablation study on a dataset consisting of images depicting silk fabrics coming along with annotations for different silk-related classification tasks. Experimental results show improvements of up to 10.5% in average F1-score and up to 20.8% in the F1-score averaged over the underrepresented classes in some classification tasks.

description: The Free Flight (FF) concept is a potential alternative to improve route efficiency and airspace capacity (17). This research aims to evaluate how gains in airspace capacity correlates to losses in airspace safety within a FF scenario. The variables chosen to indicate airspace capacity are the airspace size and the number of aircraft within this airspace. For a 2-D scenario, the simulation results indicate that the averages time, distance or speed (time and distance) flown by the aircraft impacts on the average conflict rate per aircraft per hour.
Decreto ateniese per la fondazione di Brea

Publisher: name: Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2018

description:

This Athenian decree, probably issued under Pericles’ rule in 445 BC or soon thereafter (in the thirties of the fifth century BC), testifies to the foundation of the colony (apoikia) in Brea. The decree contains practical provisions for the foundation: the appointment of an oikist and a few apoikistai, ten geonomoi for the distribution of land, an episkopos to inspect that the Athenian money is properly employed. Symbolic and religious connection to the motherland is ensured by the obligation to send tributes for the Great Panathenaia and Dionysia. Thucydides (following Bergk’s emendation), Cratinus (sometimes corrected in Craterus) and Theopompus testify to the existence of Brea and concur to the localisation of this Athenian colony in the Chalkidike peninsula, north of Potidaea, on the east coast of the Thermaic Gulf.

Three essays on innovation and research and development
Creators: name: Zhang, Wei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis contains three research papers related to innovation. Chapter 1 examines the effect of research and development (R&D) on bankruptcy. I propose that R&D investment creates uncertainty, leading to a higher volatility of firm value and greater information asymmetry between insiders (especially senior executives) and outsiders (such as investors). Both higher firm-value volatility and higher information asymmetry can increase the risk of bankruptcy for firms. Using a large panel of United States (US) companies from 1979-2009, I find that consistent with my prediction, firms engaging in high levels of R&D are more likely to go bankrupt. Further, I explore the mechanism by which R&D influences corporate bankruptcy. Empirical evidence supports both of the firm-value volatility and asymmetric information channels. Chapter 2 studies the influence of the business cycle on the interactions between R&D and bankruptcy. I find that the effect of R&D on bankruptcy increased during economic downturns. With stringent financial constraints during downturns, R&D intensive firms are more likely to be affected than during economic expansions. I further find that firms are reluctant to decrease their R&D spending during recessionary periods and that firms taking a more aggressive posture in increasing R&D during downturns enjoy stronger sustained operating performance. Overall, results show that R&D is more risky in recessions than in booms. Chapter 3 examines mergers and acquisition (M&A) transactions between firms with patent citation links and shows such transactions generate better merger performance than acquisitions of firms without citation links. Specifically, I find that acquirers’ announcement returns are positively related to citation links between the acquirer and target firms. I suggest that citation links might mitigate two possible concerns that investors could have: (1) the acquirer might overbid for the target firm due to the “winner’s curse” problem, or (2) there would be failure at the post-merger integration process. My results are consistent with the hypothesis that citations links are related to high quality transactions, but I do not find evidence supporting the hypothesis that citations help acquirers avoid overpaying for target firms.

Decreto milesio relativo a espulsioni politiche

Publisher: name: Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2018

description:

The excavations conducted at Miletus in the North agora at the beginning of the last century have brought to light a marble base preserving an important document. It is a banishment decree by the city for a group of inhabitants of Miletus, together with their children and descendants. The initial part of the decree was engraved on a stele, which has never been found; hence, we cannot determine the number of offenders. The severity of the punishment and its extension to the descendants suggests, however, that it was a political crime, possibly treason. The officers who had to enforce the decree are the epimenioi. This term is attested in many Greek poleis to mean officers who had to fulfil monthly duties, for example sacrifices; at Miletus though, as it is implied by the present text, this board had wider duties. The mention of the epimenioi gives us 437-436 BC as a terminus ante quem: after this date the Milesian council was presided by a committee of prytaneis (hence substituting the epimenioi), which suggests a constitutional change based on the Athenian model. The historical context is obscure: the traditional interpretation sees these banishments as an evidence of the imposition of the democratic faction over the oligarchic faction at the middle of the fifth century, but it cannot be excluded that the decree was rather a measure against other groups (supporters of tyranny or supporters of the Persians).

description: HINTERGRUND: Adipositas und bestimmte Tumorerkrankungen verändern die Immunzellfunktion. Wenig beachtet blieben bisher die speziellen Wechselwirkungen. METHODEN: Jeweils 32 Ratten erhielten eine DIO- (34 % Fett) bzw. eine Kontrolldiät (4 % Fett), wonach ihnen MADB106-Zellen bzw. NaCl i.v. injiziert wurden. Die Tötung erfolgte nach 15 Minuten bzw. 21 Tagen. Mittels FACS-Analyse wurden 5 Immunzelltypen gemessen. ERGEBNISSE: Unter Adipositas waren im Kurzzeit-Versuch NK-Zellen und Monozyten peripher vermindert, während B- und T-Zellen unbeeinflusst blieben. Der Langzeit-Versuch ergab keine signifikanten Unterschiede. SCHLUSSFOLGERUNG: Unter Adipositas unterstützen einige Immunzell-Subpopulationen lokal die chronische low-grade-Inflammation und wandern in das Gewebe ab. Damit ist ihre Zahl im peripheren Blut reduziert. Im Falle einer manifesten Tumorerkrankung werden sie dagegen ubiquitär vom Organismus so mobilisiert, dass keine Unterschiede zwischen normalgewichtigen und adipösen Ratten nachweisbar sind.
description: BACKGROUND: Obesity and certain tumors alter immune cell function. Little attention has been paid to the special interactions so far. METHODS: 32 rats each received a DIO- (34% fat) or a control diet (4% fat), after which MADB106 cells or NaCl i.v. were injected. The killing took place after 15 minutes or 21 days. 5 immunocell types were measured by FACS analysis. RESULTS: Under obesity, NK cells and monocytes were peripherally diminished in obesity while B- and T-cells were unaffected. The long-term experiment revealed no significant differences. CONCLUSION: Under obesity, some immune cell subpopulations locally support chronic low-grade inflammation and migrate into the tissue. This reduces their number in the peripheral blood. In the case of a manifest tumor disease, however, they are ubiquitously mobilized by the organism so that no differences between normal-weight and obese rats are detectable.

It is accompanied by an epigraphical and historiographical commentary. The text lacks several parts, nevertheless thanks to a careful palaeographic examination it is possible to propose new supplements (ll. 3, 11, 14, 16-18).

description: The vicinity of quantum phase transitions has proven fertile ground in the search for new quantum phases. We propose a physically motivated and unifying description of phase reconstruction near metallic quantum-critical points using the idea of quantum order-by-disorder. Certain deformations of the Fermi surface associated with the onset of competing order enhance the phase space available for low-energy, particle-hole fluctuations and self-consistently lower the free energy. Applying the notion of quantum order-by-disorder to the itinerant helimagnet MnSi, we show that near to the quantum critical point, fluctuations lead to an increase of the spiral ordering wave vector and a reorientation away from the lattice favored directions. The magnetic ordering pattern in this fluctuation-driven phase is found to be in excellent agreement with the neutron scattering data in the partially ordered phase of MnSi.

It/He/They/She: On Pronoun Norms for All, Human and Nonhuman
Creators: name: Fischer, Bob
name: Spiehler, Alyse
Publisher: name: University of Michigan Library
Year: 2023

description:
Many people in animal studies favor the use of gendered pronouns for nonhuman animals, even in cases where the animal’s sex is unknown. By contrast, many people in gender studies favor the use of the default singular they for humans. Our aim is to show that the most obvious ways of fitting these pronoun norm proposals together—a hybrid option (“he”/“she” for animals, “they” for humans) and a uniform one (i.e., default to the singular they when gender identity is unknown, regardless of species)—have serious costs. Animal advocates will worry that the hybrid approach marks animals as fundamentally different from human beings, while advocates for gender justice will worry that preserving gendered pronouns for animals will also preserve gender essentialism. However, switching to a universal default singular they—that is, where we use “they” for all individuals, both human and nonhuman—may set back animals’ interest in being seen as sentient individuals. Our aim is not to defend a solution to this problem, but simply to argue that this is a problem that deserves consideration when assessing candidate pronoun norms.

The honorary decree for Tenedos attests the importance of the small island in the context of the Second Athenian League, immediately after the failed siege to Byzantium by Philip II. The military operation of the Macedonian king could have endangered the Athenian control of Bosporus, but also the autonomy of the allied Tenedos, so that the island may have been interested to pay contributions in order to receive Athens’ protection and, at the same time, Athens itself may have appreciated the help of Tenedos in a difficult moment for the League. Even if the decree has gaps and it is difficult to determine the amount of the Athenian compensation, nevertheless it has an important historical value, since it is the last official document about the relations between Athens and the allies of the Second Athenian League

description: Twenty years ago this week, the Berlin Wall was taken down ending the division of that city and, symbolically, Germany and all of Europe. Within two years of that event, the Soviet Union itself dissolved and the Cold War was over. These events were unimaginable even only a few years before they occurred. As late as the mid-1980s, it was assumed by most policy makers on both sides of the Cold War divide that the Cold War was going to go on for a long time, if not forever. While better relationships between the two sides and a softening of the repressive Communist regimes were viewed as achievable, the end of the Cold War itself, was not.

description: We present a system for protein crystal micro-manipulation with focus on automated crystal mounting for the purposes of X-ray data collection. The system features a set of newly designed micropositioner end-effectors we call microshovels which address some limitations of the traditional cryogenic loops. We have used micro-electrical mechanical system (MEMS) techniques to design and manufacture various shapes and quantities of microshovels. Visual feedback from a camera mounted on the microscope is used to control the micropositioner as it lowers a microshovel into the liquid containing the crystals and approaches a selected crystal for pickup. We present experimental results that illustrate the applicability of our approach.

description: Cognitive dissonance is the stress that comes from holding two conflicting thoughts simultaneously in the mind, usually arising when people are asked to choose between two detrimental or two beneficial options. In view of the well-established role of emotions in decision making, here we investigate whether the conventional structural models used to represent the relationships among basic emotions, such as the Circumplex model of affect, can describe the emotions of cognitive dissonance as well. We presented a questionnaire to 34 anonymous participants, where each question described a decision to be made among two conflicting motivations and asked the participants to rate analogically the pleasantness and the intensity of the experienced emotion. We found that the results were compatible with the predictions of the Circumplex model for basic emotions.
Assessment of Stage 1 in a Novel Bio-Oil Upgrading Process: Catalytic Hydrotreating

description: The increasing awareness of global warming and depletion of conventional fossil fuel reserves has motivated the study of alternative fuel sources to fulfil the increasing worldwide demand of fuels. One promising alternative is the production of fuels using lignocellulose-derived bio-oils that would not compete with the human food chain. However, this type of bio-oil remains a challenge due to its high acidic oxygen content that results in corrosiveness and low energy density compared with crude oils. Therefore, the present MSc. research focuses on the study of the first stage of a novel catalytic upgrading approach that involves two different hydrogen-addition processes. First, a mild hydrotreating process is carried out to reduce the oxygen content in the bio-oil. Then, catalytic steam cracking (CSC), where hydrogen is produced by splitting water molecules, is used to obtain lighter products from the hydro-treated oil. The main focus of this research is to optimize the hydrotreating process. The effect of the process variables such as operating pressure, temperature and space velocity, on the product quality was evaluated, finding that the best quality hydrotreated product was obtained at 345 °C, 0.2 h-1, 1400 psig, and increasing the temperature beyond 345 °C at these conditions resulted in the appearance of fine solids dispersed in the synthetic product. Additionally, a comparison of different catalyst formulations was done, finding that acidity is needed in the catalyst to carry out hydrodeoxygenation reactions. It was also found that the two main compounds contributing to the acidity of the bio-oil are carboxylic acids and phenols, the latest with a minor contribution. By hydrotreating, it was possible to achieve a Total Acid Number (TAN) reduction of 100 % and a maximum of 28 % reduction of the phenols content. A high quality hydrotreated bio-oil with much reduced oxygen content, low viscosity and higher energy density was produced in this work.

description: Objectives: To examine ethnic and income-related disparities in the use of antipsychotic medication by conducting a systematic review of the related literature and a secondary data analysis. Methods: The review was conducted using a protocol developed to systematically search, select and review peer-reviewed articles on ethnic disparities in antipsychotic use. Study selection and data abstraction were performed by two independent reviewers. The secondary data analysis was conducted to examine income-related disparities in antipsychotic use in three cohorts. The first cohort was comprised of 19 to 64-year olds who had a recorded schizophrenia diagnosis. Income-related differences in the essential use of antipsychotics were assessed in this cohort. The second cohort was comprised of seniors (65 years and older) who had a recorded dementia but not schizophrenia or bipolar disorder diagnosis. The third cohort was of children and youth (18 years and younger) who had no recorded schizophrenia or bipolar disorder diagnosis. Income-related differences in the potentially inappropriate use of antipsychotics were studied in these last two cohorts. Disparities in antipsychotic use were assessed using logistic regression, adjusting for factors that influence medicine use (i.e., age, sex, health status, relevant diagnoses and residence in urban areas). Results: The systematic review found no consistent evidence of ethnic disparities in the receipt of antipsychotic treatment. However, among those who were treated, ethnic minorities were found to be consistently less likely than non minorities to receive the newer type of antipsychotics. Results of the secondary data analyses indicate that the odds of essential antipsychotic use were lower in low-income individuals than those with higher incomes. Odds of exposure to potentially inappropriate antipsychotic use, on the other hand, were higher among low-income individuals and seniors in long-term care. Conclusion: There is evidence of persistent disparities in the use of antipsychotic medication. Periodic examination and studies that identify causal factors and effective interventions are needed to reduce disparities.
Decoherence in the chemical compass: The role of decoherence for avian magnetoreception

description: Contrary to the usual picture that decoherence destroys quantum properties and causes the quantum-to-classical transition, we argue that decoherence can also play a constructive role in driving quantum dynamics and amplifying its results to macroscopic scales. We support this perspective by presenting an example system from spin chemistry, which is also of importance for biological systems, e.g. in avian magnetoreception.

title: Cancer-related pain: a review of patient education to challenge a dominant biomedical view
Creators: name: Mellors, Emma
Publisher: name: Oxford Brookes University
Year: 2023

description: Background: Cancer-related pain is a significant and growing problem for those living with and surviving cancer, requiring biopsychosocial (BPS) management independent to treatment of underlying disease. Best practice pain management has been established in the field of chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP), starting with education that is grounded in pain science. Consideration of this approach for cancer-related pain management is scarce, yet there is strong rationale for its use. The aim of this study was to explore the use of pain science in explaining cancer-related pain to patients through education, facilitating communication of a BPS phenomenon. Methods: An exploratory narrative review was used to unveil a practice in its inception and deepen understanding of the field, capturing all available literature defined by inclusion of target concepts of pain education. A descriptive synthesis of the findings was interpreted and critiqued in the discussion. Methodological quality was included to assess the impact on findings, not as criteria for exclusion. Results: Pain science education is poorly established in the cancer pain management literature. 8 studies met the inclusion criteria and were difficult to locate, akin to finding a needle in a haystack. Conclusive findings from a small evidence base of variable design and quality were limited, but positive individual outcomes provide rich detail for clinical application and a plausible basis for further research. Impending results promise a firmer foundation from which to raise awareness, encourage research and establish structure. Conclusions: To the author’s knowledge, this is the first review to explore the use of pain science in explaining cancer-related pain to patients through education. It provides a basis to illuminate this field and focus and develop the evidence-base for clinical practice. A biomedical model continues to dominate the management of cancer-related pain when an evidence-base exists for reconceptualising and communicating a BPS phenomenon through high quality education. The evidence base is in its inception, but the future potential is significant.

Exclusive semileptonic and nonleptonic decays of B mesons to orbitally excited light mesons

description: The form factors of weak decays of the B meson to orbitally excited scalar, axial vector and tensor light mesons are calculated in the framework of the QCD-motivated relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach. Relativistic effects are systematically taken into account. The form factors are expressed trough the overlap integrals of the meson wave functions and their dependence on the momentum transfer is selfconsistently determined in the whole kinematical range. On this basis semileptonic and two-body nonleptonic B decay rates to orbitally excited light mesons are calculated. Good agreement of the obtained predictions with available experimental data is found.

description: In this talk, I want to convey some of the psychoanalytic understanding of sexual love—the loving relationship of a couple—that a number of researchers, clinicians, and theoreticians in various countries have achieved regarding what keeps a couple together and what tends to separate them. I've been influenced by my own study of personality disorders and by my work in recent years in treating couples in serious conflict, as well as by the psychoanalytic literature. The subject is so vast that I have to concentrate on just one aspect of it. Ill talk about the dynamics of the love relations of the heterosexual couple. Ill try to highlight what we know by describing how I would apply this knowledge concretely in dealing with a couple, hoping that the general theory will emerge from this description. It's an experiment; I hope it goes well.

description: The study aims to assess the diversity of flora and fauna in the offshore Nijum Island of Bangladesh and examine the probable impact of climate change. Both primary and secondary data were used to identify the plants and animals and to predict future changes in the ecosystem. It was found that Keora (Sonneratia apetala) is the main tree species followed by Kakra (Bruguiera gymnorhiza), Gewa (Excoecaria agallocha), Hargoza (Acanthus ilicifolius), Khalisha (Aegiceras corniculatum) and Bain (Avicennia Officinalis). There are several patches of Hogla (Typha elephantina) throughout the area. It was found that tropical cyclone Aila caused mass devastation, altered vegetation composition and facilitated biological invasion. The climatic factors include sedimentations, inundation stress and increased salinity at landward zones. The study recommended several adaptive measures to overcome the challenges.

Squeezing in driven bimodal Bose-Einstein Condensates: Erratic driving versus noise

description: We study the interplay of squeezing and phase randomization near the hyperbolic instability of a two-site Bose-Hubbard model in the Josephson interaction regime. We obtain results for the quantum Zeno suppression of squeezing, far beyond the previously found short time behavior. More importantly, we contrast the expected outcome with the case where randomization is induced by erratic driving with the same fluctuations as the quantum noise source, finding significant differences. These are related to the distribution of the squeezing factor, which has log-normal characteristics: hence its average is significantly different from its median due to the occurrence of rare events.
