L’ontologia del "De musica"
Creators: name: Fortin, Eleonora
Publisher: name: Doctor Virtualis
Year: 2011

description: Nel sesto libro del De musica Agostino pone il problema della natura del conoscere a partire da una descrizione, che si potrebbe definire fenomenologica, dei movimenti ritmici di cui il soggetto fa esperienza. Inizia così un percorso conoscitivo, che prendendo le mosse dalle tracce dei numeri arriva a indagare le condizioni di possibilità della conoscenza, rilanciando continuamente l’indagine su molteplici livelli. Con questo articolo si intende comprendere le più rilevanti implicazioni del paradigma conoscitivo agostiniano, il quale non appare riducibile a una mera logica numerica ma permette di  gettare uno sguardo filosofico fino alla realtà metafisica della creatura. In the De musica’s sixth Book Augustin puts the question of the knowledge’s nature from the description (that we can consider as a phenomenological one) of the rhytmical movements experienced by the subject. This is the beginning of a cognitive process that starts from the numers’ traces and ends with the inquiry about the conditions of knowledge’s possibility, giving impulse to a research on several levels. The article’s purpose is to understand the most important implications of the Augustinian cognitive paradigm, that doesn’t seem to be a mere numerical logic but allow us to take a philosophical glance to the creature’s metaphysical truth.

description: Gli studi di Simha Arom sulla polifonia africana ha avuto un notevole impatto sulla cultura occidentale, in modo particolare con riferimento alla teoria ritmica della composizione. Scopo principale di questo studio è discutere la relazione fra la comparsa di termini antichi relativi alla teoria musicale e l’effettiva possibilità di descriverli in contesti musicali moderni.In che modo si possono usare concetti come talea, color, organum nella descrizione di strutture ritmiche concepite al di fuori della teoria canonica occidentale? Gli scritti di Arom mostrano come oggi sia ancora possibile individuare un nesso tra modelli africani di scansione ritmica e il concetto occidentale di dissonanza temporale: ma qual è il ruolo della percezione all’interno di questa descrizione? Simha Arom’s Studies in African Polyphony had a great impact in Western Culture, especially inside the Rhythmic Theory of Composition: the main aim of this work is a discussion about the  relationships between the occurrences  of  ancient terms connected to music theory and the strength possibility of description  in modern music contexts. How can we use concepts like Talea, Color, Organum in the description of rhythmical structures conceived outside the western canonical  theory? The Arom’s writings show us that today is still possible to establish a link between African models of Rhythmical periods and the Western Concept of temporal dissonance: but what is the role of perception inside this description?

description: Two of the mesh-based numerical approaches suitable for geotechnical large deformation problems, the multimaterial arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (MMALE) and the coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian (CEL) methods are investigated. The remeshing step in MMALE was claimed to hold advantages over CEL, but its effects on application problems are not studied in detail. Hence, the possible capabilities and improvements of this step are studied in three large deformation geotechnical problems with soil–structure interaction. The problems are validated and verified using experimental and analytical solutions, respectively. By using the remeshing step in MMALE, a smoother material interface, lower remap related errors, and better computation costs are achieved.

description: The size effects on an exciton in a nano-ring are investigated theoretically by using an effective-mass Hamiltonian which can be separated into terms in centre-of-mass and relative coordinates. The binding energy and oscillator strength of the ground state are calculated for two different ring radii as functions of the ring width. The resulting linear optical susceptibility of the low-lying exciton states is also discussed.

description: Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI) is one of the most widely used treatments for children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). While IBI has been recognized as the treatment of choice for very young children with an ASD, its sensible use among school age children is a matter of dispute. The aim of this thesis was to determine the clinical effectiveness of IBI, as compared with no treatment or treatment-as-usual, for the management of cognitive functioning and adaptive skills in preschool and school age children with an ASD, as well as to examine predictors of treatment response. Peer-reviewed, English language publications were identified using MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsychINFO, CINAHL, and ERIC from 1995 to September 1, 2014. Grey literature and reference lists of published papers were also searched for relevant records. Retrieved citations were screened by two independent reviewers, and data extraction was performed by a single reviewer with verification by a second reviewer. The methodological quality and procedural fidelity of included studies was assessed by one reviewer, and a subset of included studies were pooled in a random-effects meta-analysis using the standardized mean difference (SMD) effect size. A total of 24 unique studies were selected for inclusion in this review, comprising a total of 1,816 participants. Findings revealed that IBI improves full-scale IQ (SMD ES = 0.66, 95% CI 0.46 to 0.85, p<0.00001; 13 studies) and adaptive skills (SMD ES = 0.57, 95% CI 0.33 to 0.82, p<0.00001; 12 studies) in preschool and school age children with an ASD, with seemingly higher clinical benefits in children aged under 4 years at intake. Better outcomes with IBI are predicted by children’s relatively younger age, increased cognitive and adaptive ability, as well as a milder severity of symptoms at treatment entry. Results warrant careful interpretation in light of several methodological limitations and inadequate monitoring of procedural fidelity.
"Urlar li fa la pioggia come cani". Ambiente sonoro, voce ed elettronica nell’Inferno di Sciarrino
Creators: name: Broglia, Simone

description: L’articolo si concentra sull’opera per nastro magnetico “La voce dall’Inferno”. Inizialmente concepita come opera radiofonica, composta da Edoardo Torricella e Salvatore Sciarrino, vuole presentare attraverso le sonorità possibili con l’elettronica un approccio al mondo dei dannati che ne risvegli i rumori e le voci, l’acustica del luogo e le presenze.Su questi elementi si concentrerà anche il mio articolo, partendo dallo studio di un otologo sulla Commedia, ci si sposterà a questioni filosofiche ed estetiche che riguardano il rapporto tra la voce e lo spazio, tra la voce e il rumore e l’utilizzo dell’elettronica applicata alla voce. In modo particolare però si cercherà di concentrare l’attenzione, attraverso l’ascolto dell’opera, su di una tematica: come la voce influisca sulla percezione emotiva dell’ambiente sonoro. My essay focuses on the work for tape “La voce dall’Inferno”. Initially conceived as a radio opera, composed by Edoardo Torricella e Salvatore Sciarrino, “La voce dall’Inferno” wants to show through the sounds the world of damned with their noises, voices and their presence in that place. The electronic sounds and the possibilities open by record, freezing, generator and synthesis play an important role in the development and the aesthetic of the opera. On this elements will focus my article. We’ll move to philosophical and aesthetic issues that concern the relationship between voice and space, voice and noise, and the use of electronic instruments. In particular try to focus on a theme by listening to the opera: how the voice influences the emotional perception of the soundscape.

Working models of attachment and health threats: Distress, appraisal, coping and health-related behaviours in colorectal cancer.

Subjects: subject: Psychology, Clinical.

description: Attachment theory has evolved from early work on infant-caregiver relationships to exploring the role of attachment processes in close relationships in adults. Most recently, it has been investigated under conditions of threat or stress. Bowlby (1973, 1988) proposed that attachment processes should be most activated under these circumstances. Using a cross-sectional design, the present project investigated working models of attachment within the context of a threat to health. Specifically, it tested components of a model proposed by Collins and Read (1994) that attachment models affect relevant behavioural outcomes via cognitive and emotional responses. Working models of attachment, emotional distress, appraisal and coping were studied in 71 male and female colorectal cancer patients undergoing adjuvant treatment. Health-related behaviours were chosen as behavioural outcomes. Although measurement and design issues did not permit a complete test of the model, the results suggested that working models of attachment are related to distress and coping in ways that are consistent with attachment theory. Perceived threat of illness was related to negative self models. Emotional distress was found to be primarily a function of model of self and mediated the relationship between the self model and coping. Model of self also had a direct link with the degree to which patients engaged in healthful behaviours. Results for model of other were less robust. Results of this study suggest that internal working models of attachment are important constructs in situations beyond close relationships.
Aritmetiche e alchimie di suoni. Severino Boezio e Luciano Berio
Creators: name: Ophälders, Markus
Publisher: name: Doctor Virtualis
Year: 2011

description: Luciano Berio apre il suo testamento poetico, Un ricordo al futuro, con un esplicito rinvio alla tripartizione della musica operata da Boezio e durante la discussione di specifiche tematiche della musica contemporanea vi torna a più riprese. Il presente lavoro intende indagare i motivi per un tale coinvolgimento dell’autore medievale nella ricerca poetica ed estetica di uno dei più importanti rappresentanti del mondo musicale novecentesco nonché il modo in cui la teoria di Boezio viene attualizzata da Berio. Si scoprirà che i problemi della musica del Novecento richiedono una profonda riflessione filosofica la quale però non può limitarsi alla sola componente teoretica e astratta, se non vuole perdere di vista la musica, e che non può limitarsi alle sole pratiche musicali se non vuole rinunciare alla propria autocoscienza. In questo senso Berio reinterpreta i tre tipi di musica, mundana, humana ed intrumentalis nella concezione boeziana per confrontarsi non solo con il grande problema del rapporto tra teoria e pratica musicale, ma anche per discutere specifiche tematiche musicali del Novecento. Luciano Berio begins his poetical testament, Remembering the future, with an explicit link to the three types of music conceived by Boezio and during the discussion of specific themes of contemporary music he returns on this item several times. The present work intends to investigate the motivation of a similar confrontation with this medieval philosopher within the poetic and aesthetic research of one of the most important representatives of nineteenth century music; on the other hand the intention is to make clear in which way he proceeds by actualizing Boezio’s theory. It will become clear that the problems of nineteenth century music necessitate a profound philosophical reflection, which can not be limited to its mere theoretical and abstract component, if it doesn’t want to miss music in itself and, on the other hand, it can not be limited to the only musical practice, if it doesn’t want to renounce on its own consciousness. In this sense Berio reinterprets the three types of music, mundana, humana and intrumentalis, in their boezian conception in order to cope not only with the one big problem of the relationship between musical theory and practice, but also in order to discuss specific musical themes of the nineteenth century.

Istituzioni ritmiche e fine del tempo. "Modo" e "neuma" nel canto gregoriano  e in Olivier Messiaen
Creators: name: Mazzolini, Marco
Publisher: name: Doctor Virtualis
Year: 2011

description: Prendendo le mosse dall’esame del ciclo pianistico Quatre études de rythme, di Olivier Messiaen (e in particolare del terzo brano, Neumes rythmiques), scritto fra il 1949 e il 1950, l’articolo delinea un sintetico confronto fra due differenti espressioni dell’arte musicale. Da un lato una composizione della metà del Novecento: repertorio profano, strumentale, frutto di concezioni individuali, testimonianza della fase post-tonale del pensiero musicale. Dall’altro la monodia gregoriana: repertorio sacro, vocale, anonimo, che esprime concetti formali pre-tonali. Occasione di tale raffronto è l’indagine sulla portata concettuale e tecnica di termini chiave come “modo” e “neuma”, che Messiaen mutua dalla teoria musicale medioevale facendone oggetto di riflessione teorica e principio di concezioni tecniche. L’articolo tenta di sondare la complessa trama di rapporti mediante la quale due espressioni artistiche apparentemente agli antipodi entrano in contatto e si illuminano a vicenda. Expanding on the study of the piano cycle Quatre Études de Rythme (“Four Studies in Rhythm”) by Olivier Messiaen (and especially the third Étude, Neumes Rythmiques), composed in 1949–1950, this article provides a brief comparison between two different expressions of art music. On the one hand we have a composition dating back to the mid-1900s: profane instrumental music, the result of individual conceptions, bearing witness to the post-tonal development in musical thought. On the other, Gregorian monody: sacred vocal music, anonymous, expressing formal pre-tonal concepts. This comparison is developed by looking at the conceptual and technical meaning of key terms, such as “mode” and “neume”, which Messiaen turned from Mediaeval musical theory into subjects for theoretical reflection and a principle of technical conceptions. The article sets out to discuss their complex inter-relationships whereby these two artistic, seemingly opposing, expressions converge and are thus reciprocally enhanced.

Definizione di unità di misura del tempo musicale nel "Pomerium" di Marchetto da Padova
Creators: name: Sucato, Tiziana
Publisher: name: Doctor Virtualis
Year: 2011

description: Nella notazione musicale ancora alla metà del Duecento i valori di durata sono organizzati in raggruppamenti di piedi ritmici costruiti su un minimo di durata (la breve), che è anche unità di misura del tempo musicale, corrispondente alla sillaba. Con la nascita della notazione mensurale, verso la fine del Duecento, ma soprattutto in seguito all'evoluzione della prassi compositiva, nei primi decenni del Trecento fu necessario ridefinire il rapporto tra tempo, minimo di durata e unità di misura. I musici al di qua e al di là delle Alpi ovviarono diversamente dando vita a due sistemi musicali e notazionali, italiano e francese, differenti proprio nei loro presupposti teorici. In ambito italiano Marchetto da Padova dimostra come l'unità di misura del tempo musicale non coincida con il minimo di durata in senso assoluto, ma con ciò che è minimo all'interno del genere musicale: pur chiamandosi ancora breve, l'unità di misura nel sistema notazionale italiano può arrivare a contenere fino a dodici suoni. L'articolo mette a fuoco come Marchetto da Padova giunga alla definizione dell'unità di misura del tempo musicale nel suo trattato Pomerium e mostra le implicazioni di tale presupposto sulla prassi compositiva e la specificità del repertorio medesimo rispetto al coevo repertorio francese. During the latter half of the thirteenth century and particularly in the the fourteenth century, the mensural notation redefines the relationship between tempo, beat and temporal units. Italian and French musicians use different notational systems each with their own theoretical assumptions. In Italy Marchetto da Padova demonstrates that the beat does not coincide with the minimum in a quantitative understanding of musical time, but with the minimum in a qualitative undestanding of musical time: even it is called 'brevis', the beat in the Italian notational system can be divided up to twelve notes. The article focuses on how Marchetto of Padua explains it in his treatise Pomerium, and shows the implications of this assumption in compositional practice.

description: Objectives: Curative intent therapy of stage II NSCLC may include surgical resection or definitive radiotherapy. Primary management with surgery or radiotherapy may be influenced by patient and disease characteristics. We sought to perform a comparison of patients receiving surgery or radical radiation therapy as their curative treatment, and explore the impact of known prognostic factors on outcome. Materials and methods: A retrospective review was completed of all patients with stage II NSCLC referred to the BC Cancer Agency from 2005 to 2012. Cases were filtered to identify those receiving curative intent therapy including surgery or radiotherapy. Information was collected on known prognostic and predictive factors. The primary outcome measure was overall survival. We compared survival among patients receiving curative intent radiotherapy versus surgical intervention. Results: A total of 535 patients were referred. Of these, 245 (46%) received curative intent surgery, 132 (25%) curative intent radiotherapy, and 158 (30%) did not receive curative therapy. There were significant differences between cohorts with respect to median age, histology, ECOG PS, smoking status, and weight loss. Median OS was significantly different between cohorts: 61.4 m surgery, 26.5 m curative RT, and 13.1 m non-curative therapy. In a case-matched analysis, median OS remained superior for surgery at 101.6 m vs 28.1 m for curative RT. In a multivariate analysis, ECOG PS, weight loss, and treatment cohort all influenced survival. Among patients receiving curative intent radiotherapy, the use of concurrent chemotherapy and RT dose > = 60Gy were associated with improved outcomes. Conclusions: Among patients with stage II NSCLC, many are unable to undergo standard of care surgical resection. Radiotherapy provides an inferior yet still curative option in the management of inoperable patients. Further work is needed to optimize outcomes in this population.

description: La profession infirmière exige l’acquisition de bonnes connaissances techniques. Toutefois, selon l’Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers de l’Ontario (OIIO, 2011), afin d’exercer la profession, les infirmières doivent également posséder des compétences en ce qui a trait à la relation thérapeutique. Selon Stover (2010), l’empathie est la compréhension des besoins de l’autre et la sensibilité aux sentiments de cette personne. Elle est l’un des éléments essentiels de cette relation thérapeutique (OIIO, 2009a). Webster (2010), ainsi que Dearing et Steadman (2009) affirment que l’empathie est l’habileté clinique la plus importante à acquérir pour la future infirmière. À ce jour, peu d’études ont été faites sur l’expérience d’apprentissage de l’empathie des étudiantes1. Ce projet de recherche vise à décrire l’expérience d’apprentissage de l’empathie chez des étudiantes en soins infirmiers auxiliaires. Une approche qualitative utilisant l’analyse de contenu permet d’explorer la question de recherche suivante : « Quelle est l’expérience d’apprentissage de l’empathie vécue chez les étudiantes en soins infirmiers auxiliaires pendant leur stage de préceptorat2? » Les résultats démontrent que les étudiantes accordent de l’importance à l’empathie dans les soins aux patients et qu’elles considèrent que cet attribut est essentiel à la relation thérapeutique. De surcroît, la préceptrice exerce une influence dans l’apprentissage de l’empathie chez les étudiantes en stage de préceptorat. Toutefois, les résultats révèlent également que les techniques de soins occupent une place de haute importance pour les étudiantes dans les soins prodigués aux patients, et que la meilleure façon d’enseigner l’empathie aux étudiantes demeure indéterminée. Cette présente étude renforce la nécessité d’explorer l’apprentissage de l’empathie chez les étudiantes en soins infirmiers auxiliaires afin de comprendre comment celles-ci vivent cette expérience pendant le dernier stage de leur formation.
Load capacity of slender reinforced concrete walls governed by flexural cracking strength of concrete
Creators: name: Sanjayan, Jay
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper demonstrates, using experimental results and theoretical derivations, that some reinforced concrete walls may be able to carry much higher loads if the flexural cracking strength is considered in the calculation. The paper presents a theoretical derivation of a formula for estimating the axial load capacities of reinforced concrete walls subjected to eccentric axial loads as well as uniform lateral loads. A simplified, approximate version of the formula is also presented. The formula is based on the assumption that the failure of the walls is controlled by the flexural cracking strength of concrete. The paper also describes an experimental programme and reports test results for four reinforced concrete walls with varying amounts of reinforcements of varying type, namely, mesh (fabric), bar and steel fibre reinforcement. The test results show that the amount and type of reinforcement do not have any influence on the load capacity of the walls but only have an effect on the ductility of the walls. Comparisons are made with the formula and other commonly used methods of estimation. The formula estimations are much closer to the test results than the other methods for the type of walls tested.

Enhancing Data Governance in Trusted Research Environments

description: Trusted Research Environments have been pivotal in facilitating secure and ethical access for research to data deemed too sensitive or detailed to be shared outside of their secure enclaves. The increased availability of these data has facilitated vital research that can benefit our society. But these data come with risk and a TREs role is to mitigate this. Previously much of the focus of our data governance has been on preventing the re-identification of data subjects, maintaining an excellent track record in confidentiality breaches. However, in recent years we have seen the data landscape changing rapidly, with a wide array of new data types and analytical methods. This changing landscape brings new possibilities for harms which extend beyond simple re-identification. With this changing landscape, it’s time to re-evaluate our data governance to ensure we can continue to protect those who trust us with their data. This presentation will focus on work at TREs such as the Secure Data Center in Germany to review, re-evaluate and improve our data governance frameworks. This work utilises the Five Safes framework to steer the development of technical infrastructure, new training and the redefining of projects to ensure that we can ensure safe and ethical data use in a changing world.

description: Cardiotoxicity associated with many cancer drugs is a critical issue facing physicians these days and a huge hurdle that must be overcome for a side effects-free cancer therapy. Survival of cardiac myocytes is compromised upon the exposure to certain chemotherapeutic drugs. Unfortunately, the mechanisms implicated in cardiac toxicity and the pathways governing myocyte survival are poorly understood. The following thesis addresses the mechanisms underlying the cardiotoxicity of two anticancer drugs, doxorubicin (DOX) and Imatinib mesylate (Gleevec). Transcription factor GATA-4, has recently emerged as an indispensable factor in the adult heart adaptive response and cardiomyocyte survival. Therefore, the specific aim of this project was to determine the role of GATA-4, its upstream regulators, as well as partners in survival. A combination of cell and molecular techniques done on in vivo, and ex vivo models were utilized to tackle these issues. In this study, we confirmed the cardiotoxicity of the anticancer drug, Imatinib mesylate and found to be age dependent. GATA-4, already known to be implicated in DOX-induced toxicity, was confirmed as an Imatinib target. At the molecular level, we identified IGF-1 and AKT as upstream regulators of GATA-4. Moreover, we confirmed ZFP260 (PEX-1), a key regulator of the cardiac hypertrophic response, as a GATA-4 collaborator in common prosurvival pathways. Collectively, these results provide new insights on the mechanisms underlying drug-induced cardiotoxicity and raise the exciting possibility that cancer drugs are negatively affecting the same prosurvival pathway(s), in which GATA-4 is a critical component. Therapeutic interventions aimed at enhancing GATA-4 activity may be interesting to consider in the context of treatments with anticancer drugs.

description: In this thesis, in which I use the stand-alone paper format, I employ a Foucauldian lens to examine Alberta’s Future Leaders (AFL), an Aboriginal youth leadership development program. In the first paper, I identify how power relations shape AFL, including its ambitions and struggles towards developing sustainable programming. In the second paper, I examine AFL’s cross-cultural approach to mentorship and the ways in which failing to address issues of culture (re)produces colonial relations of power. Overall, my findings highlight the importance of recognizing and problematizing the power relations at work within Aboriginal youth leadership development initiatives.

description: Identifying the molecular and genetic pathways important for heart development and deciphering the causes of CHD are still a challenging puzzle. A newly identified piece of this puzzle is KLF13, a member of the Krüppel-like family of zinc-finger proteins, was found to be important for atrial septation and ventricular trabeculation of Xenopus embryos. The protein is expressed predominantly in the heart, binds evolutionarily-conserved regulatory elements on cardiac promoters, and activates cardiac transcription. In this study we examined KLF13 mechanism of action by investigating its transcriptional activity on the ANF promoter using a deletion/mutagenesis approach. We reported the identification of a new synergistic partnership between KLF13 and the individual cardiac transcription factors TBX5, NKX2.5, PEX1, and CATF1. Also, we localized KLF13’s transcriptional activation domain, the nuclear localization region/zinc-fingers, and the DNA binding zinc-fingers. This study will provide insight into the contribution of KLF13 to the development of CHDs.

description: We investigate the intensity enhancement and the duration of starburst episodes triggered by major galaxy interactions and mergers. We analyze two large statistical datasets of numerical simulations. These have been obtained using two independent and different numerical techniques to model baryonic and dark matter evolution that are extensively compared for the first time. One is a Tree-SPH code, the other one is a grid-based N-body sticky-particles code. We show that, at low redshift, galaxy interactions and mergers in general trigger only moderate star formation enhancements. Strong starbursts where the star formation rate is increased by a factor greater than 5 are rare and found only in about 15% of major galaxy interactions and mergers. Merger-driven starbursts are also rather short-lived, with a typical duration of activity of a few 108 yr. These conclusions are found to be robust, independent of the numerical techniques and star formation models. At higher redshifts where galaxies contain more gas, gas inflow-induced starbursts are neither stronger nor longer than their local counterparts. In turn, the formation of massive gas clumps, results of local Jeans instability that can occur spontaneously in gas-rich disks or be indirectly favored by galaxy interactions, could play a more important role in determining the duration and intensity of star formation episodes.

description: L'articolo prende in considerazione il possibile dialogo tra i nostri modelli di razionalità e quelli di autori medievali del tardo XIII secolo circa il concetto di laicità. Non si può certo parlare di laicità nel senso contemporaneo del termine, ma un tema interessante - senza alcuna pretesa di riferirsi a impossibili precorrimenti - può essere il concetto, individuabile in alcuni autori del tardo XIII e degli inizi del XIV secolo, della possibile coesistenza di differenti tradizioni filosofiche e teologiche, con l'implicita conseguenza di una sorta di pluralismo metodologico. Tali concezioni possono essere accostate alla moderna idea di libera coesistenza di posizioni diverse, e quindi all'idea di tolleranza più che a quella di laicità, e vengono contrapposte a ogni pretesa di fondare e imporre una esclusiva e univoca lettura della realtà. Da questo punto di vista viene analizzato il pensiero di un giovane magister artium della fine del XIII secolo e, nel contempo, di un giovane magister theologiae, che si identificano nella medesima persona, Giovanni Duns Scoto.   This paper concerns the possible dialogue between our models of rationality and those of medieval authors of the late 13th century about the concept of secularism (it's difficult to find the right translation of the Italian term laicità). It's not possible of course to speak of secularism in the contemporary sense of the term, but an interesting theme - without any claim to speak of precursory theses - can be the concept, already recognizable in some authors of the late 13th century and the beginning of the 14th century, of the possible coexistence of different philosophical and theological traditions, with the implicit consequence of a sort of methodological pluralism. These ideas may be compared to modern idea of free coexistence of different theories, and therefore to idea of tolerance more than to that of secularism, and are opposed to any claim to ground and to impose an exclusive and authoritative interpretation of reality. From this point of view is here analysed  the thought of a young magister artium of the last years of the 13th century and, at the same time, of a young magister theologiae, who must be overlapped in the same man, John Duns Scotus.

description: Renewable energy systems are an alternative to existing systems to achieve energy savings and carbon dioxide emission reduction. Subsequently, preventing the reckless installation of renewable energy systems and formulating appropriate energy policies, including sales strategies, is critical. Thus, this study aimed to achieve energy reduction through optimal selection of the capacity and lifetime of solar thermal (ST) and ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems that can reduce the thermal energy of buildings including the most widely used photovoltaic (PV) systems. Additionally, this study explored decision-making for optimal PV, ST, and GSHP installation considering economic and environmental factors such as energy sales strategy and electricity price according to energy policies. Therefore, an optimization model based on multi-objective particle swarm optimization was proposed to maximize lifecycle cost and energy savings based on the target energy savings according to PV capacity. Furthermore, the proposed model was verified through a case study on campus buildings in Korea: PV 60 kW and ST 32 m2 GSHP10 kW with a lifetime of 50 years were found to be the optimal combination and capacity. The proposed model guarantees economic optimization, is scalable, and can be used as a decision-making model to install renewable energy systems in buildings worldwide.

description: We used the GENECONV program, the Hsu et al. (2010) method and phylogenetic analyses to analyze the gene conversions which occurred in the growth hormone, folate receptor and trypsin gene families of six primate species. Significant positive correlations were found between sequence similarity and conversion length in all but the trypsin gene family. Converted regions, when compared to non-converted ones, also displayed a significantly higher GC-content in the growth hormone and folate receptor gene families. Finally, all detected gene conversions were found to be less frequent in conserved gene regions and towards functionally important genes. This suggests that purifying selection is eliminating all gene conversions having a negative functional impact.

La Neoscolastica milanese e  la filosofia medioevale

description: Una discussione della filosofia neoscolastica e della storiografia da essa ispirata, con particolare riferimento alla scuola milanese che si sviluppa nel contesto della Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore. Agostino Gemelli, la Rivista di Filosofia Neoscolastica e la ricerca nel pensiero medievale del nucleo centrale di una philosophia perennis: rischio di una interpretazione pre-costituita del pensiero medievale, individuato come itinerario di ricostruzione di modelli di verità. Il progressivo dissolversi dell'immagine della scolastica come blocco omogeneo e compatto di dottrine culminanti nella filosofia tomista, a favore di una visione sempre più articolata e complessa dei grandi temi e problemi teorici nati dal confronto diretto o indiretto con le massime tradizioni del pensiero classico, con i maestri arabi ed ebrei, con il mondo bizantino. In questa storia è fondamentale il ruolo di Sofia Vanni Rovighi , la sua fiducia nel continuo progresso della ragione e la sua interpretazione della philosophia perennis come idea regolatrice più che come filosofia storicamente determinata.   A discussion concerning the so called filosofia neoscolastica and the historiography influenced by this theoretical tradition, with particular reference to the school that develops in Milano in the context of Catholic University del Sacro Cuore. Agostino Gemelli, the journal Rivista di filosofia neoscolastica, looking in medieval thought for the primary core of a philosophia perennis and the consequent risk of a dogmatc interpretation of medieval thought, interpreted as itinerary for the reconstruction of models of truth. The progressive weakening of the image of the scholastic philosophy as an homogeneous and solid doctrinal piece, culminating in the thought of Thomas Aquinas, in favour of a more and more detailed and complex vision of the fundamental issues and theoretical problems born from a direct or indirect comparison with the great classical traditions, with the Arab and Jewish thinkers and with the Byzantine world. In this history is fundamental the thought of Sofia Vanni Rovighi, her confidence in the continuous growth of human reason and her interpretation of philosophia perennis as a regulative idea more than as an historically definite philosophy.

description: The mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) is a frequently found contaminant in cereals and cereal-based products. As a German contribution to the European Joint Programme HBM4EU, we analysed the total DON concentration (tDON) in 24-h urine samples from the German Environmental Specimen Bank (ESB). In total, 360 samples collected in 1996, 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016, and 2021 from young adults in Muenster (Germany), were measured by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) after enzymatic deconjugation of the glucuronide metabolites. tDON was found in concentrations above the lower limit of quantification (0.3 (micro)g/L) in 99% of the samples. Medians of the measured concentrations and the daily excretion were 4.3 (micro)g/L and 7.9 (micro)g/24 h, respectively. For only nine participants, urinary tDON concentrations exceeded the provisional Human biomonitoring guidance value (HBM GV) of 23 (micro)g/L. Urinary tDON concentrations were significantly higher for male participants. However, 24-h excretion values normalized to the participant's body weight did not exhibit any significant difference between males and females and the magnitude remained unchanged over the sampling years with exception of the sampling year 2001. Daily intakes were estimated from excretion values. Exceedance of the tolerable daily intake (TDI) of 1 (micro)g/kg bw per day was observed for less than 1% of all participants. TDI exceedances were only present in the sampling year 2001 and not in more recent sampling years while exceedance of the HBM guidance value was also observed in 2011 and 2021. © 2023 The Authors
