description: Despite strong evidence suggestive of associations between hepatic diseases and pancreas injury, a potential relationship between acute hepatitis and acute pancreatitis has not been a matter of review; which we focused on in the current paper. Some of the main findings of this review article are: fulminant hepatitis failure represents the highest incident rate of hepatitis-related acute pancreatitis; so a screening program might be indicative in these patients. Specific characteristics of HAV-related pancreatitis are that it is a benign condition with no reported mortality; and a male preponderance in the incidence, with females developing in older ages and having shown the signs of both conditions simultaneously. The incidence of acute pancreatitis in HBV infection is the lowest, but the mortality was the highest. HEV-related acute pancreatitis was most likely to represent pseudocysts and there was an apparent ethnic-priority with Indian descents, the only reported cases in the literature. Hepatitis-related pancreatitis in liver transplant recipients was most frequent in HBV infected patients; and in IFN-induced pancreatitis, cessation of the drug was most effective in treatment, with no catastrophic event reported.

description: We obtain a characterization of all wavelets leading to analytic wavelet transforms (WT). The characterization is obtained as a by-product of the theoretical foundations of a new method for wavelet phase reconstruction from magnitude-only coefficients. The cornerstone of our analysis is an expression of the partial derivatives of the continuous WT, which results in phase-magnitude relationships similar to the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) setting and valid for the generalized family of Cauchy wavelets. We show that the existence of such relations is equivalent to analyticity of the WT up to a multiplicative weight and a scaling of the mother wavelet. The implementation of the new phaseless reconstruction method is considered in detail and compared to previous methods. It is shown that the proposed method provides significant performance gains and a great flexibility regarding accuracy versus complexity. Additionally, we discuss the relation between scalogram reassignment operators and the wavelet transform phase gradient and present an observation on the phase around zeros of the WT.

description: The aim of the study was to provide a reliable French validation of the Mannheim Dream questionnaire in order to further examine demographic factors that may affect dream-related experience. The participants were 315 healthy French adult volunteers aged from 18 to 73 years. We performed a test-retest reliability study to evaluate the validity of our translation. The results obtained with the online French version of the Mannheim Dream questionnaire showed good indices of the test-retest reliability, and allowed us to have a first insight of the frequency repartition of some dream-related aspects and attitudes within a French population. The French version of the Mannheim Dream questionnaire is the first comprehensive French validated tool to investigate in large cohorts several aspects of the subjective dream experience, such as dream recall frequency, nightmares, lucid dreams, attitude toward dreams and effect of dreams on waking life.

description: Context Pancreatic cancer is still associated with a high mortality and morbidity for affected patients. To this date the role of neoadjuvant therapy in the standard treatment of pancreatic cancer remains elusive. The aim of our study was to review the latest results and current approaches in neoadjuvant therapy of pancreatic cancer. Methods We performed a literature review for neoadjuvant therapy in pancreatic cancer. We divided the results into resectable disease and local advanced pancreatic cancer. Results Neoadjuvant therapy in pancreatic cancer is safe. But currently no standard guidelines exist in neoadjuvant approaches on pancreatic cancer. For local advanced pancreatic cancer the available data tends to show a positive effect on survival rates for neoadjuvant approaches. Conclusion For resectable disease we found no benefit of neoadjuvant therapy. The negative or positive effects of neoadjuvant treatment in pancreatic cancer remain unclear for the lack of sufficient and prospective data.

description: Context Molecular analysis of pancreatic cyst fluid obtained by EUS-FNA may increase diagnostic accuracy. We evaluated the utility of cyst-fluid molecular analysis, including mutational analysis of K-ras, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at tumor suppressor loci, and DNA content in the diagnoses and surveillance of pancreatic cysts. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the Columbia University Pancreas Center database for all patients who underwent EUS/FNA for the evaluation of pancreatic cystic lesions followed by surgical resection or surveillance between 2006-2011. We compared accuracy of molecular analysis for mucinous etiology and malignant behavior to cyst-fluid CEA and cytology and surgical pathology in resected tumors. We recorded changes in molecular features over serial encounters in tumors under surveillance. Differences across groups were compared using Student’s t or the Mann-Whitney U test for continuous variables and the Fisher’s exact test for binary variables. Results Among 40 resected cysts with intermediate-risk features, molecular characteristics increased the diagnostic yield of EUS-FNA (n=11) but identified mucinous cysts less accurately than cyst fluid CEA (P=0.21 vs. 0.03). The combination of a K-ras mutation and ≥2 loss of heterozygosity was highly specific (96%) but insensitive for malignant behavior (50%). Initial data on surveillance (n=16) suggests that molecular changes occur frequently, and do not correlate with changes in cyst size, morphology, or CEA. Conclusions In intermediate-risk pancreatic cysts, the presence of a K-ras mutation or loss of heterozygosity suggests mucinous etiology. K-ras mutation plus ≥2 loss of heterozygosity is strongly associated with malignancy, but sensitivity is low; while the presence of these mutations may be helpful, negative findings are uninformative. Molecular changes are observed in the course of cyst surveillance, which may be significant in long-term follow-up.

La persona converte la sua soggettivit� in User, ultimo livello della rappresentazione a catasta della societ� digitalizzata in cui viviamo: un insieme di dati tracciabili e profilabili dal sistema di " computational sovereignty" (Bratton, 2016). Allo stesso tempo, lo User non rinuncia alla sua identit�, rappresentata dal filosofo tedesco Peter Sloterdijk Come una bolla, e il cui aspetto muta e cambia velocemente seguendo i ritmi frenetici e accelerati tipici di quest?ultimo ventennio. La pratica della rappresentazione online integra e contrasta la trasformazione persona-utente e gli artisti da abili osservatori dell?ambiente online interpretano e rielaborano questo cambiamento, fornendo nuovi spunti di riflessione, nuovi linguaggi artistici e nuove estetiche.

description: Context Levamisole-contaminated cocaine is an increasingly reported cause of vasculitis and immunologic abnormalities in cocaine abusers. The systemic effects of vasculitis are commonly seen in the dermatologic, hematologic and renal systems but rarely the gastrointestinal system. Case report We present an atypical case of cocaine-induced vasculitis presenting initially as an acute pancreatitis and then rapidly progressing to involve multi-organ systems over the next couple of weeks. Conclusion Internists should recognize that acute pancreatitis can present as an atypical and rare initial systemic manifestation of cocaine-induced vasculitis.

description: Context Cancer is a prothrombotic state and anticancer therapies are often complicated by vascular events. The risk of developing thromboembolic events is substantially increased in patients with pancreatic cancer. One possible presentation of vascular events in pancreatic cancer is disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Case report In our case a patient with a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer initially presented with thrombosis and received low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in addition to standard chemotherapy regimen. He was thought to have DIC by assessment of clinical and laboratory findings. Conclusion Clinically, thrombosis was first located in the left femoral vein and encountered at right femoral artery after three weeks. This pattern was an unusual presentation of DIC. Subclinical DIC is common in patients presenting with pancreatic cancer and is considered a ‘poor’ prognostic factor. Acute DIC, on the other hand is a potentially mortal condition.

description: We address the parallelization of the LU factorization of hierarchical matrices ($\mathcal{H}$-matrices) arising from boundary element methods. Our approach exploits task-parallelism via the OmpSs programming model and runtime, which discovers the data-flow parallelism intrinsic to the operation at execution time, via the analysis of data dependencies based on the memory addresses of the tasks' operands. This is especially challenging for $\mathcal{H}$-matrices, as the structures containing the data vary in dimension during the execution. We tackle this issue by decoupling the data structure from that used to detect dependencies. Furthermore, we leverage the support for weak operands and early release of dependencies, recently introduced in OmpSs-2, to accelerate the execution of parallel codes with nested task-parallelism and fine-grain tasks.

L?elaborato considera con particolare attenzione le possibili interazioni tra il principio dell?abuso del diritto e i contratti B2b alla luce dei cosiddetti fallimenti del mercato. Inoltre, il lavoro si occupa anche dei possibili rimedi applicabili in caso di violazione del principio dell?abuso del diritto. Il Capitolo 1 contiene un?introduzione storica della teoria dell?abuso del diritto nonch� una breve esposizione delle principali tesi avanzate di tempo in tempo dai principali interpreti che si sono occupati ex professo della materia. Il capitolo 2 propone un?analisi in chiave sistematica delle principali pronunce delle corti italiane in cui � stato ritenuto dalle stesse possibile applicare il principio dell?abuso del diritto nonch� di quelle previsioni normative in cui si rinviene un riferimento al principio dell?abuso del diritto. Il capitolo 3 contiene un proposta ricostruttiva del fenomeno dell?abuso del diritto sulla base di un criterio teleologico ritenuto idoneo a consentire un?interpretazione dell?abuso del diritto quale principio generale autonomo ed indipendente ai sensi del diritto italiano.

THE REPUTATION ECONOMY. CREATIVE LABOUR AND FREELANCE NETWORKS
Creators: name: GANDINI, ALESSANDRO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2014

description: In the last decades a large number of what have been called ?creative? and ?cultural? industries flourished all over Western neoliberal economy. These can be broadly defined as industries in which economic value is generated through mechanisms of valorization of knowledge, innovation and creativity (DCMS 1998, 2001; Hesmondhalgh 2002; Florida, 2002; Hesmondhalgh and Pratt 2005; Pratt 2008).

This has a wide range of both theoretical and practical implications. Among many, the present research focuses on the diffusion of freelance work in this sector. With the term ?freelance? I intend a form of self-organized work, not subject to a formally stable and continuous dependent relationship with a single firm or employer (McRobbie 2002; Christopherson 2002, 2008).

This thesis discusses to what extent reputation emerges as the key factor over skills, education and trust, to determine the income of creative independent professionals both offline and online, such that it becomes possible to argue on the existence of a 'reputation economy'. This hypothesis will be discussed through the study of two informal networks of creative freelancers in Milan and London, combined with the analysis of an international online marketplace dedicated to independent contractors.

description: The objective of this review is to summarize the current state of the art of the management of necrotizing pancreatitis, and to clarify some confusing points regarding the terminology and diagnosis of necrotizing pancreatitis, as these points are essential for management decisions and communication between providers and within the literature. Acute pancreatitis varies widely in its clinical presentation. Despite the publication of the Atlanta guidelines, misuse of pancreatitis terminology continues in the literature and in clinical practice, especially regarding the local complications associated with severe acute pancreatitis. Necrotizing pancreatitis is a manifestation of severe acute pancreatitis associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis is aided by pancreas-protocol computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, ideally 72 h after onset of symptoms to achieve the most accurate characterization of pancreatic necrosis. The extent of necrosis correlates well with the incidence of infected necrosis, organ failure, need for debridement, and morbidity and mortality. Having established the diagnosis of pancreatic necrosis, goals of appropriately aggressive resuscitation should be established and adhered to in a multidisciplinary approach, ideally at a high-volume pancreatic center. The role of antibiotics is determined by the presence of infected necrosis. Early enteral feeds improve outcomes compared with parenteral nutrition. Pancreatic necrosis is associated with a multitude of complications which can lead to long-term morbidity or mortality. Interventional therapy should be guided by available resources and the principle of a minimally invasive approach. When open debridement is necessary, it should be delayed at least 3-6 weeks to allow demarcation of necrotic from viable tissue.

description: CloudSat profile of attenuated corrected radar reflectivity (Ze) and cloud mask data are used to investigate the cloud properties over South America (SA) during Austral Summer monsoon seasons. Deep convective core (DCC), deep & intense convective systems (DCSs & ICSs), and cloud clusters (CCs) are defined based on the Ze and cloud mask values. The spatial distributions of DCCs show that land-dominated areas have higher frequency of DCCs and Atlantic Ocean has less DCCs. The Pacific Ocean does not consist of DCCs, whereas eastern flank of Andes has higher frequency of DCCs compared to western flank of the Andes. North La Plata basin (Sierra de Cordoba) has a higher fraction of deeper (shallower) DCCs. Deep convection over the Sierra de Cordoba and South La Plata Basin is characterized by precipitation-size particles compared to cloud-size particles, whereas deep convection over north La Plata Basin is dominated by mostly cloud-size particles. The horizontal span of DCSs and ICSs is higher over south La Plata Basin and Atlantic Oceans compared to other SA areas. Sierra de Cordoba (Atlantic Ocean) has the highest (lowest) frequency of small DCSs and vice versa. DCSs and ICSs show the opposite characteristic, as all the selected areas consist of a higher fraction of large (small) sized DCSs (ICSs). CCs develop more in horizontal than in vertical direction over the high latitude and vice versa over lower latitude. The CCs distribution reflects the orography and moisture flow pattern at the east and west side of Andes. The higher Ze, which is the proxy for rainfall, occurs at the eastern flank/slope of the Andes, and related to easterly moisture loaded synoptic flow, transported from Amazon and upslope flow along the slope.
A Gazetteer of Anglo-Saxon and "Overlap" Churches around Oxford

Year: 2022
Subjects: Archaeology

description: N.B. A new a greatly expanded version of this has been uploaded in January 2014. Please use the Gazetteer V.2, and the new zipped archive of all images (V. 2). This is a guide to churches within a "day-trip" of Oxford which have been authoritatively reported as having structural remains of Anglo-Saxon date or, at least, of very early post Conquest date in the Anglo-Saxon manner. Churches are not included if they only have, for example, a carved cross which is not in situ. It is hoped that the guide will widen the horizons of people interested in such churches but with limited opportunities to travel the length of the country to visit the relatively complete and well known churches. If you plan a tour of several churches, it is wise to top-mark all those in an area of interest on a road-map so that you cover adjacent counties. This introduction is the first of four text files. The second is gazetteer which comprises brief details of the churches arranged alphabetically by county and alphabetically within each county. Each "article" is headed by place name, dedication, the Period Code (see later), a map reference and brief directions. Many articles then say "See photofile" with a coded reference (See later). If there is no reference to "photofile" , I have not visited the church. At the end of most articles there are "refs" to the sources of my information in coded form. These are listed alphabetically in the fourth text file, giving details of the sources. In the gazetteer abbreviations have been used; N,S,E and W for the compass points and AS for Anglo-Saxon. The Period Code This is a system devised early last century and widely used since. Anglo-Saxon churches are difficult to date accurately and the codes give an approximate range. The codes and dates are as follows: A1 = 600 - 650 A2 = 650 - 700 A3 = 700 - 800 From Augustine's mission to the major Viking raids. B1 = 800 - 850 B2 = 850 - 900 B3 = 900 - 950 The period of the Viking invasions. C1 = 950 - 1000 C2 = 1000 -1050 C3 = 1050 -1100 From the Monastic Revival through the "Overlap" with Norman influence. The Photofile codes These codes in the gazetteer text direct you to the photofile index (the third icon of the four) where is found against each code the place and brief details of the church. The codes are in alphanumeric order and the alpha indicates the county. Below the four icons indicating text files are pictures of churches identified by the photofile codes. Each can be "downloaded" as a file in an enlarged format .

description: Autonomous vehicles require precise knowledge of their position and orientation in all weather and traffic conditions for path planning, perception, control, and general safe operation. Here we derive these requirements for autonomous vehicles based on first principles. We begin with the safety integrity level, defining the allowable probability of failure per hour of operation based on desired improvements on road safety today. This draws comparisons with the localization integrity levels required in aviation and rail where similar numbers are derived at 10^-8 probability of failure per hour of operation. We then define the geometry of the problem, where the aim is to maintain knowledge that the vehicle is within its lane and to determine what road level it is on. Longitudinal, lateral, and vertical localization error bounds (alert limits) and 95% accuracy requirements are derived based on US road geometry standards (lane width, curvature, and vertical clearance) and allowable vehicle dimensions. For passenger vehicles operating on freeway roads, the result is a required lateral error bound of 0.57 m (0.20 m, 95%), a longitudinal bound of 1.40 m (0.48 m, 95%), a vertical bound of 1.30 m (0.43 m, 95%), and an attitude bound in each direction of 1.50 deg (0.51 deg, 95%). On local streets, the road geometry makes requirements more stringent where lateral and longitudinal error bounds of 0.29 m (0.10 m, 95%) are needed with an orientation requirement of 0.50 deg (0.17 deg, 95%).

Subjects: Among 294 hospital nurses, examined in a survey on work related stress, three groups of 10 nurses were randomly selected for a comparison of three shift work schedules: a) 10 working in the resuscitation unit on a ?3x8? shift system in a 5-day cycle with a ?quick return?: Afternoon (14-21); Morning (07-14) and Night (21-07); End of Night shift; 2 Rest days; b) 10 working in the surgical ward on a ?3x8? shift system in a 6-day cycle with a ?quick return?: Afternoon; Morning; Morning and Night; End of Night shift; 2 Rest days; c) 10 working in the delivery room on a ?2x12? shift system in a 5-day cycle: Daywork (07-19); Nightwork (19-07); End of Night shift; 2 Rest days.
Seventeen nurses were women and 13 men, aged between 23 and 46 years (mean 34.3) and with work seniority between 1.4 and 28 years (mean 11.4). All were in good health and not taking any medication.
Methods: They have been submitted to a semi-structured interview including the Standard Shiftwork Index, the Job Demand-Control and the Effort Reward Imbalance questionnaires, the Epworth sleep scale. During the whole shift cycle, the nurses recorded their activity and rest periods by actigraphy and personal diaries, assessing sleepiness by the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale and quality of sleep by a 10-point visual scale. They also took saliva samples at 0700 and 2300 of each working and rest day for dosage of cortisol, cortisone and melatonin.
Results: The nurses reported more sleep troubles in both ?3x8? than in ?2x12? shift schedule. According to actigraphy, in both ?3x8? shift schedules the duration of night sleep between afternoon and morning shifts is reduced by 35% as compared to rest days, and sleep between morning and night shifts in the same day lasts less than 3 hours on average, showing a significantly higher fragmentation in both occasions. Also subjective sleepiness is significantly higher before night shift in both ?3x8? shift schedules than in the ?2x12? one. In the surgery ward, where they can nap/sleep up to 3 hours during the night shift, the nurses have a 40% shorter sleep in the morning after. In the ?2x12? shift schedule the night sleep duration between Day and Night shift is the same as in the rest days. As far as hormonal secretion, cortisol and cortisone did not change significantly their normal circadian phase in all the three shift schedules, whereas melatonin showed a more irregular pattern.

description: A system relying on the collective behavior of decision-makers can be vulnerable to a variety of adversarial attacks. How well can a system operator protect performance in the face of these risks? We frame this question in the context of graphical coordination games, where the agents in a network choose among two conventions and derive benefits from coordinating neighbors, and system performance is measured in terms of the agents' welfare. In this paper, we assess an operator's ability to mitigate two types of adversarial attacks - 1) broad attacks, where the adversary incentivizes all agents in the network and 2) focused attacks, where the adversary can force a selected subset of the agents to commit to a prescribed convention. As a mitigation strategy, the system operator can implement a class of distributed algorithms that govern the agents' decision-making process. Our main contribution characterizes the operator's fundamental trade-off between security against worst-case broad attacks and vulnerability from focused attacks. We show that this tradeoff significantly improves when the operator selects a decision-making process at random. Our work highlights the design challenges a system operator faces in maintaining resilience of networked distributed systems.

A Gazetteer of Anglo-Saxon and "Overlap" Churches around Oxford
Creators: name: Lee, Stuart
Publisher: name: University of Oxford
Year: 2022
Subjects: Archaeology

description: N.B. A new a greatly expanded version of this has been uploaded in January 2014. Please use the Gazetteer V.2, and the new zipped archive of all images (V. 2). This is a guide to churches within a "day-trip" of Oxford which have been authoritatively reported as having structural remains of Anglo-Saxon date or, at least, of very early post Conquest date in the Anglo-Saxon manner. Churches are not included if they only have, for example, a carved cross which is not in situ. It is hoped that the guide will widen the horizons of people interested in such churches but with limited opportunities to travel the length of the country to visit the relatively complete and well known churches. If you plan a tour of several churches, it is wise to top-mark all those in an area of interest on a road-map so that you cover adjacent counties. This introduction is the first of four text files. The second is gazetteer which comprises brief details of the churches arranged alphabetically by county and alphabetically within each county. Each "article" is headed by place name, dedication, the Period Code (see later), a map reference and brief directions. Many articles then say "See photofile" with a coded reference (See later). If there is no reference to "photofile" , I have not visited the church. At the end of most articles there are "refs" to the sources of my information in coded form. These are listed alphabetically in the fourth text file, giving details of the sources. In the gazetteer abbreviations have been used; N,S,E and W for the compass points and AS for Anglo-Saxon. The Period Code This is a system devised early last century and widely used since. Anglo-Saxon churches are difficult to date accurately and the codes give an approximate range. The codes and dates are as follows: A1 = 600 - 650 A2 = 650 - 700 A3 = 700 - 800 From Augustine's mission to the major Viking raids. B1 = 800 - 850 B2 = 850 - 900 B3 = 900 - 950 The period of the Viking invasions. C1 = 950 - 1000 C2 = 1000 -1050 C3 = 1050 -1100 From the Monastic Revival through the "Overlap" with Norman influence. The Photofile codes These codes in the gazetteer text direct you to the photofile index (the third icon of the four) where is found against each code the place and brief details of the church. The codes are in alphanumeric order and the alpha indicates the county. Below the four icons indicating text files are pictures of churches identified by the photofile codes. Each can be "downloaded" as a file in an enlarged format .

description: Detailed ground cover information and efficient modelling approaches are needed for estimating soil properties from hyperspectral remote sensing (HRS) data. With the objective to estimate both soil and crop residue (CR) parameters using HRS data from the airborne visible-infrared imaging spectrometer-next generation (AVIRIS-NG) sensor, soil and CR samples were collected from 101 locations in the Western Catchment of Chilika lagoon, India. Nonlinear unmixing and two chemometric models were examined for estimating basic soil properties, nutrient contents, soil and CR wetness, and masses of fresh crop residue (FCR) and dry crop residue (DCR). Both soil and CR parameters showed wide variation with FCR and DCR masses varying from 0 to 13.33 Mg ha−1 and 0 to 10.16 Mg ha−1, respectively. Soils were relatively dry with an average gravimetric water content (θg) of 14% whereas CR moisture content (θc) ranged from 2.4 to 93%. Estimated coefficient of determination (R2) values in the validation datasets varied from 0.51 for soil base saturation to 0.91 for exchangeable Mg+2 using soil spectra obtained through linear polynomial unmixing of AVIRIS-NG spectra. The R2 values were more than 0.70 for clay content, soil organic carbon (SOC), cation exchange capacity (CEC), and several exchangeable cations although the CR parameters showed lower R2 values than soil parameters. With the chemometric models calibrated, high spatial resolution maps for soil and CR parameters were generated, which offer a continuous mapping capability for such parameters. Extensive soil property data also allowed us to evaluate SOC sequestration capability of different land use systems. A critical value of 1/25 for the SOC/Clay content ratio was observed for most of our agricultural land uses and degraded landscapes showed lower SOC/Clay ratios. Thus, high spatial resolution soil and crop residue parameters may be accurately assessed for large areas with multiple land use and soil cover conditions.

description: Incremental 4D-Var is a data assimilation algorithm used routinely at operational numerical weather predictions centers worldwide.This paper implements a new method for parallelizing incremental 4D-Var, the Randomized Incremental Optimal Technique (RIOT), which replaces the traditional sequential conjugate gradient (CG) iterations in the inner-loop of the minimization with fully parallel randomized singular value decomposition (RSVD) of the preconditioned Hessian of the cost function. RIOT is tested using the standard Lorenz-96 model (L-96) as well as two realistic high-dimensional atmospheric source inversion problems based on aircraft observations of black carbon concentrations. A new outer-loop preconditioning technique tailored to RSVD was introduced to improve convergence stability and performance. Results obtained with the L-96 system show that the performance improvement from RIOT compared to standard CG algorithms increases significantly with non-linearities. Overall, in the realistic black carbon source inversion experiments, RIOT reduces the wall-time of the 4D-Var minimization by a factor 2-3, at the cost of a factor 4-10 increase in energy cost due to the large number of parallel cores used. Furthermore, RIOT enables reduction of the wall-time computation of the analysis error covariance matrix by a factor 40 compared to a standard iterative Lanczos approach. Finally, as evidenced in this study, implementation of RIOT in an operational numerical weather prediction system will require a better understanding of its convergence properties as a function of the Hessian characteristics and, in particular, the degree of freedom for signal (DOFs) of the inverse problem.
