Motor Learning and Motor Control Mechanisms in an Haptic Dyad
Creators: name: AVILA MIRELES, EDWIN JOHNATAN
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2018

description: The word ?dyad? defines the interaction between two human or cybernetic organisms. During such interaction, there is an organized flow of information between the two elements of the dyad, in a fully bidirectional manner. With this mutual knowledge they are able to understand the actual state of the dyad as well as the previous states and, in some cases, to predict a response for possible scenarios. In the studies presented in this thesis we aim to understand the kind of information exchanged during dyadic interaction and the way this information is communicated from one individual to another not only in a purely dyadic context but also in a more general social sense, namely dissemination of knowledge via physical and non-physical interpersonal interactions. More specifically, the focus of the experimental activities will be on motor learning and motor control mechanisms, in the general context of embodied motor cognition.
Solving a task promotes the creation of an internal representation of the dynamical characteristics of the working environment. An understanding of the environmental characteristics allows the subjects to become proficient in such task. We also intended to evaluate the application of such a model when it is created and applied under different conditions and using different body parts. For example, we investigated how human subjects can generalize the acquired model of a certain task, carried out by means of the wrist, in the sense of mapping the skill from the distal degrees of freedom of the wrist to the proximal degrees of freedom of the arm (elbow & shoulder), under the same dynamical conditions. In the same line of reasoning, namely that individuals solving a certain task need to develop an internal model of the environment, we investigated in which manner different skill levels of the two partners of a dyad interfere with the overall learning/training process. It is known indeed that internal models are essential for allowing dyadic member to apply different motor control strategies for completing the task. Previous studies have shown that the internal model created in a solo performance can be shared and exploited in a dyadic collaboration to solve the same task. In our study we went a step forward by demonstrating that learning an unstable task in a dyad propitiates the creation of a shared internal model of the task, which includes the representation of the mutual forces applied by the partners. Thus when the partners in the dyad have different knowledge levels of the task, the representation created by the less proficient partner can be mistaken since it may include the proficient partner as part of the dynamical conditions of the task instead of as the assistance helping him to complete the experiments. For this reason we implemented a dyadic learning protocol that allows the na�ve subject to explore and create an accurate internal model, while exploiting, at the same time, the advantage of working with an skilled partner.
Mathematical models for reactive contaminants in groundwater

description: Abstract
The mass transport of contaminants in porous media is of great importance both in the field of research and in the applied field.
Today's respect for the environment and the safeguarding of resources has greatly increased the need to monitor and prevent environmental pollution.
Of great importance are the mathematical models that allow us to describe the concentration distribution in space and time of a pollutant in groundwater.
This research is focused on the study and modeling of pollutants in groundwater.
Bibliographic research and a subsequent in-depth study of 1D, 2D and 3D ADE models and their applications were conducted to examine the state of the art and possible areas for model development.
Emphasis was placed on the development of a new one-dimensional solution.
A variety of conditions were examined including the release of the source with step function, the decay of contaminants with consecutive reactions and the production and decay of the source concentration
From the one-dimensional model, it was possible to extend the model to three-dimensions with the exact integral solution and approximate solution in closed form.
A solution in approximate form was also obtained for a known solution in the Literature characterized by exponential decay at the source.
A comparative simulation analysis was performed on the models based on Literature data.

description: Charles Percival Gill was a corporal in the R.A.M.C. Before the Great War he was a member of the Camborne Company (Cornwall) of the Wessex Field Ambulance and was drafted straight into the R.A.M.C. at the start of the war.
He was awarded the Military Medal at the second Battle of Passchendale. I have a letter from the 24th Battalion Loyal North Lancs Regiment, to which his Wessex Field Ambulance was attached, stating that he was awarded the medal for work during the attack on 26th Oct. 1917. I have tried to find the full citation but have been told that many of the Great War records were lost in the bombing raids in the Second World War. I have been told that he was bringing back wounded from the front line under fire when a shell fell among their stretcher party. One of the wounded men was thrown into a deep shell hole filled with water, mud, bodies and debris. My grandfather went down into the shell hole and brought the wounded man out and back to the dressing post.

My grandfather Gill died forty years ago, but as I was interested in the First World War, I did ask him about it when I was younger. I gathered that he was critical of the conduct of the war and the terrible loss of life. He had dreams about it when he was ill and dying. He was a private and modest man. After the war he did not parade with the other ex-service men on Armistice Day. When asked why, he said that he remembered his friends who had died every day.

description: The cumulative dissertation consists of two publications, which complement each other. The main work is a book of 356 pages published by Springer Nature, which is a complex treatise on the role and concept of money in the light of sustainability. It concludes that true sustainability requires a reform of our monetary system in the way Silvio Gesell (1949 – first publication 1916) once proposed. The key arguments are that our monetary system, as it is designed today, is completely unnatural and represents not only an obstacle to achieving true sustainable development but also to achieving genuine monetary neutrality. The so-called growth imperative as well as the ever-increasing income inequality, which is generally recognized as an indirect obstacle to sustainability, are both linked to our monetary system.
Data Analysis for Linguistic, Cultural, and Historical Research (DIGS 20004/30004)

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Corpora (Linguistics)
subject: Culture--Study and teaching

description: Data analysis is a rapidly expanding field with broad applicability throughout the hard sciences, social sciences, and the humanities. The ability to use and analyze data effectively in linguistic, cultural, and historical research provides a highly desirable and broadly applicable skill set: in academia, in government, and in the private sector.

This course is intended as a theoretical and methodological introduction to a number of the most widely used and effective techniques, strategies and toolkits for textual, qualitative and quantitative data analysis, with a primary focus on those most suited to the analysis of complex data sources.

We will also consider how the creation of large digital corpora and the ubiquity of large-scale digital data sources has now changed how scholars engage with the archive, and what opportunities new types of repositories might offer for new computational approaches to the study of literature and history.

In addition to evaluating new digital methodologies in the light of traditional approaches to data analysis, students will gain extensive experience in using R to conduct their analyses, and by the end of the course, will have developed their own individual projects, thereby gaining a practical understanding of data analysis workflows and tools and methods for evaluating the results achieved through various data analytical and visualization strategies.

Policies on abortion: Women's Experiences of Living through a Gendered Body in Zimbabwe
Creators: name: Batisai, Kezia
Publisher: name: AG About Gender - International Journal of Gender Studies
Year: 2014

description: This article profiles the politics of abortion in Zimbabwe, a country with restrictive legal frameworks on reproductive rights that are influenced by customary or cultural practices. The article first maps the international policy landscape on reproductive and sexual rights, and the laws governing the termination of pregnancy. Thereafter, it examines the extent to which international policy discourses inform national frameworks governing women’s sexual bodies in Zimbabwe. As such, the article analyses cultural and legal discourses that continue to shape the reproductive and sexual rights landscape in Zimbabwe. It is in this contextual section of the paper that I capture the struggles about body ownership exposed by academics and activists as well as discourses around the construction of women as reproductive objects and young women’s realities of abortion that emerged from my engagement with elderly women in rural Zimbabwe[1]. A critical integration of scholarly debates and empirical findings on abortion exposes how the effects of the criminal tag attached to abortion in Zimbabwe are experienced by women who terminate their pregnancies in a country where the body is heavily patrolled by the state. Central to this paper is the inference that as the state sets the parameters of sexuality, it (re)defines the meaning of being Zimbabwean for those gendered as women. I conclude that engaging with the moral and legal boundaries that emerge as the state patrols the body deepens one’s insight into the meaning of citizenship or nationhood in Zimbabwe, which women often negotiate through their gendered bodies.

Keywords: Gendered bodies; Abortion; Citizenship; Zimbabwe.

Not Another Teen Movie. Evoluzione di un genere commerciale tra exploitation e convergenza
Creators: name: GUERINI ROCCO, Stefano
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2017

description: The aim of this thesis is to analyze the evolution of the teen moving genre during what Henry Jenkins called the modern era of ?convergence culture?. The teen movie has always been one of the most prolific and profitable genre since the Fifties. But it went through several changes and adjustments, due to social and cultural changes and to market needs. Thus the portrayal of adolescent characters in teen movie has equally changed through the decades, but it has also maintained some specific characteristics and peculiar patterns. This because teen movie works largely by repeating systematically certain conventions and stereotypes in order to be instantly recognizable. In this sense, the character of Katniss Everdeen from ?The Hunger Games? series seems to be particularly relevant because she fully embodies both the dominant cinematic trends of this period and the traditional representation of female adolescents on screen. In conclusion, I want to argue that Katniss could be seen as an emblem of teen movie genre, because she simultaneously both conform and resist to traditional stereotypes ? as the genre itself.

Onslaughts on the Right to Choose. A Transcontinental Panorama

Publisher: name: AG About Gender - International Journal of Gender Studies
Year: 2014

description: Almost everywhere in the world we are witnessing the questionong of the abortion right. In Southern, Western and Esatern Europe, in Northern or Southern America, in those parts of the world where the fight against the criminalization of abortion had been successful and where the demand that it becomes a right of all women, the fundamentalist and conservative forces are now on the offensive. At the same time, those who defend the right of women to freely choose the corse of their existence must often struggle to be heard as exemplified by the recent decision of the European Parliament to recognize abortion as a women's right and by the decision of the Spanish government to abolish the progressive law adopted some years ago. In this paper, basing myself on a number of concrete exaples, I will examine what are the current positions od the pro-life movements - bette called anti-choice movements - and the implications of their attacks against women's right to choose in many so-callde democratic countries.

Black Hole Mass Scaling Relations for Spiral Galaxies. II. M BH-M ∗,tot and M BH-M ∗,disk
Creators: name: Davis, Benjamin
name: Graham, Alister
name: Cameron, Ewan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Black hole mass (M-BH) scaling relations are typically derived using the properties of a galaxy's bulge and samples dominated by (high-mass) early-type galaxies. Studying late-type galaxies should provide greater insight into the mutual growth of black holes and galaxies in more gas-rich environments. We have used 40 spiral galaxies to establish how M-BH scales with both the total stellar mass (M-*,M-tot) and the disk's stellar mass, having measured the spheroid (bulge) stellar mass (M-*,M-sph) and presented the M-BH-M-*,(sph) relation in Paper I. The relation involving M-*,M-tot may be beneficial for estimating M-BH either from pipeline data or at higher redshift, conditions that are not ideal for the accurate isolation of the bulge. A symmetric Bayesian analysis finds log(M-BH/M-circle dot) = (3.05(-0.49)(+0.57))log {M-*,M-tot/[v(6.37 x 10(10) M-circle dot)]} + (7.25(-0.14)(+0.13)). The scatter from the regression of M-BH on M-*,M-tot is 0.66 dex; compare 0.56 dex for M-BH on M-*,M-sph and 0.57 dex for M-BH on sigma(*). The slope is > 2 times that obtained using core-Sersic early-type galaxies, echoing a similar result involving M-*,M-sph, and supporting a varied growth mechanism among different morphological types. This steeper relation has consequences for galaxy/black hole formation theories, simulations, and predicting black hole masses. We caution that (i) an M-BH-M-*,M-tot relation built from a mixture of early- and late-type galaxies will find an arbitrary slope of approximately 1-3, with no physical meaning beyond one's sample selection, and (ii) evolutionary studies of the M-BH-M-*,M-tot relation need to be mindful of the galaxy types included at each epoch. We additionally update the M-*,M-tot-(face-on spiral arm pitch angle) relation.

Per una tipologia semantico-funzionale degli avverbiali: uno studio basato sulla distribuzione informativa degli avverbi (in -mente) negli enunciati dell?italiano parlato
Creators: name: De Cesare, Anna Maria
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2016

description: In comparison with the research devoted to adverbials in other European languages, such as French and English, Italian adverbials have not been adequately studied.
Moreover, in the few studies on Italian adverbials (in particular on the ones realized as adverbs), most of the attention is devoted to their syntactic and semantic properties. Little attention is paid to their pragmatic features and discourse functions, which as a result largely remain unknown. This paper demonstrates the need for a more radical functional approach in the description of adverbials: first, it proposes a functionally-based model to classify adverbials and, second, it shows that the functional categories identified in such a classification are largely confirmed by taking into account the informational properties of adverbials, in particular their distribution in the information units of utterances. Our study is based on data of spontaneous spoken Italian drawn from the database IPIC (Information Patterning in Interlinguistic Comparison), in which the information units are identified according to the theoretical model known as Language into Act Theory (LAct, as outlined in Cresti 2000). Specifically, on the basis of a qualitative analysis of the most frequently occurring adverbs ending with the suffix -mente, as well as purtroppo ?unfortunately? and forse ?perhaps?, we highlight important informational differences not only between the syntactically-identified categories of predicative and sentence adverbials, but also within the category of sentence adverbials. Highlighting informational differences within the category of sentence adverbials is particularly interesting, as it allows identifying two main functional categories of adverbials: adverbials operating at the level of the proposition (or Dictum) and adverbials operating at the level of the illocution (or Actum).

description: By comparing Mg II absorption in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of group environments to isolated galaxies, we investigated the impact of environment on the CGM. An Mg II absorber is associated with a group if there are two or more galaxies at the absorption redshift within a projected distance of D = 200 kpc from a background quasar and a line-of-sight velocity separation of 500 km s(-1). We compiled a sample of 29 group environments consisting of 74 galaxies (two to five galaxies per group) at 0.113 < z(gal) < 0.888. The group absorber median equivalent width (< W-r (2796)> n = 0.65 +/- 0.13 angstrom) and covering fraction (f(c) = 0.89(-0.09)(+0.05)) are larger than isolated absorbers (1.27 sigma and 2.2 sigma, respectively), but median column densities are statistically consistent. A pixel-velocity two-point correlation function analysis shows that group environment kinematics are statistically comparable to isolated environments (0.8 sigma), but with more power for high velocity dispersions similar to outflow kinematics. Group absorbers display more optical depth at larger velocities. A superposition model in which multiple galaxies contribute to the observed gas matches larger equivalent width group absorbers but significantly overpredicts the kinematics owing to large velocity separations between member galaxies. Finally, galaxy-galaxy groups (similar member galaxy luminosities) may have larger absorber median equivalent widths (1.7 sigma) and velocity dispersions (2.5 sigma) than galaxy-dwarf groups (disparate luminosities). We suggest that the observed gas is coupled to the group rather than individual galaxies, forming an intragroup medium. Gas may be deposited into this medium by multiple galaxies via outflowing winds undergoing an intergalactic transfer between member galaxies or from tidal stripping of interacting members.

Evaluating the Past, Present and Future of Chinese Library Classification (CLC)

Subjects: subject: Information science
subject: Library science

description: China is one of the few countries worldwide to have had a relatively sophisticated, unbroken tradition of library classification for nearly two thousand years (Zhang, 2003). This may be considered a crowning achievement in the history of library and information services; yet paradoxically, China's adherence to its literary traditions led to stagnation and a lack of progress that, by the end of the nineteenth century, had left them far behind the West.
The twentieth century was characterised by great upheaval in China, and this is reflected in the changes its library and information services underwent during this time. Zhang, Liu and Wang (1996) cite no fewer than 8 library classification systems which were developed between 1953 and 1978 alone. Through the tumult, the Chinese Library Classification (hereafter referred to as CLC) has emerged as China's national classification system. This paper discusses the history of the CLC, describes its current form and present usage, and evaluates its strengths and weaknesses.

description: Purpose: Our study assessed the efficacy of the simultaneous use of hearing aids and auditory training for improving cognition and psychosocial function in adults with hearing loss, and the relationships between hearing loss, speech perception and cognition. Participants and methods: A 40-person (aged 50–90 years) pilot study in Melbourne, Australia, was conducted. Participants with hearing impairment completed the Geriatric Depression Scale-Short Form, questions about social activity participation, a wide range of cognitive tasks and a speech perception test at baseline, 3 and 6 months. Participants underwent auditory training for 6 months and used hearing aids for 3 months. Results: Correlations and structural equation modeling suggested that several cognitive domains were associated with speech perception at baseline, but only the Incongruent Stroop cognition measure was associated with hearing loss. Hearing aid use reduced problems with communication, but there were no significant improvements in speech perception, social interaction or cognition. The effect of hearing aids and auditory training for improving depressive symptoms was significant with a moderate to large effect size (Cohen’s d=0.87). Conclusion: The small sample size and a relatively high rate of attrition meant that this study was underpowered. However, baseline results suggested relationships between hearing loss, speech perception and cognition, and the hearing intervention provided evidence of reduced depressive symptoms. A full-scale, randomized hearing loss intervention and a longer neuroimaging study with cognitive outcomes measured in the short term as well as after several years of hearing aid use are needed.

A catalogue and analysis of X-ray luminosities of early-type galaxies
Creators: name: O'Sullivan, Ewan
name: Forbes, Duncan
name: Ponman, Trevor J.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We present a catalogue of X-ray luminosities for 401 early-type galaxies, of which 136 are based on newly analysed ROSAT PSPC pointed observations. The remaining luminosities are taken from the literature and converted to a common energy band, spectral model and distance scale. Using this sample we fit the LX:LB relation for early-type galaxies and find a best-fit slope for the catalogue of ~2.2. We demonstrate the influence of group-dominant galaxies on the fit and present evidence that the relation is not well modelled by a single power-law fit. We also derive estimates of the contribution to galaxy X-ray luminosities from discrete-sources and conclude that they provide Ldscr/LB~=29.5ergs-1LBsolar-1. We compare this result with luminosities from our catalogue. Lastly, we examine the influence of environment on galaxy X-ray luminosity and on the form of the LX:LB relation. We conclude that although environment undoubtedly affects the X-ray properties of individual galaxies, particularly those in the centres of groups and clusters, it does not change the nature of whole populations.
Remittance multiplier effect: do migrant remittances impact the mass of non-migrant households in Nigeria?
Creators: name: Etowa, Egbe
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2016

description: Remittances to Nigeria, like to the rest of the developing world, show rapid growth in the last two decades. This work estimated the effects of these emergent migrant transfers on the Nigerian non-migrant households who do not receive the funds. These non-migrant households constitute the larger population share, and like the remittance dependent households, are often characterised by low income, inadequate access to resources and found mostly in agricultural related risk coping strategies. The Nigerian General Household Survey and the National Living Standard Survey were sources of a pooled data used for the analyses. Both surveys conducted by the Nigerian Bureau of statistics gained supports from the World Bank. From the perspective of the compound multiplier theory, the ?two stage least square? technique was employed in the data analysis. Results showed that remittances did not only improve migrant household consumption, it also increased incomes of non-migrants? households through its multiplier effect.

FOURIER-MUKAI TRANSFORMS FOR SINGULAR PROJECTIVE VARIETIES
Creators: name: AMODEO, FRANCESCO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2014

description: This Ph. D thesis deals with various aspects of the theory of derived categories of sheaves on projective varieties. The first result is a generalization of a representability theorem by Lunts and Orlov for fully faithful functors where the source derived category is the derived category of sheaves over the double point scheme. The second result is a description of the space of stability conditions for the same derived category. The final result is a descend criterion for equivariant sheaves to the quotient variety with respect to an action by a finite group.
Spatially resolved stellar populations in the isolated elliptical NGC 821
Creators: name: Proctor, Robert N.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We present the analysis of Lick absorption-line indices from three separate long-slit spectroscopic observations of the nearby isolated elliptical galaxy NGC 821. The three data sets present a consistent picture of the stellar population within one effective radius, in which strong gradients are evident in both luminosity-weighted age and metallicity. The central population exhibits a young age of ~4 Gyr and a metallicity ~3 times solar. At one effective radius the age has risen to ~12 Gyr and the metallicity fallen to less than ~1/3 times solar. The low-metallicity population around one effective radius appears to have an exclusively red horizontal branch (RHB), with no significant contribution from the blue horizontal branch evident in some globular clusters of the same age and metallicity. Despite the strong central age gradient, we demonstrate that only a small fraction (≤10 per cent) of the galaxy's stellar mass can have been created in recent star formation events. We consider possible star formation histories for NGC 821 and find that the most likely cause of the young central population was a minor merger or tidal interaction that caused NGC 821 to consume its own gas in a centrally concentrated burst of star formation 1–4 Gyr ago.

Evaluating the Impact of Online Tutoring (YourTutor): Final Report
Creators: name: Lee, Chwee Beng
name: Hanham, Jose
Publisher: name: Western Sydney University
Year: 2017

description: The study described in this research report focused on variables which were posited to capture students’ experiences of the online tutoring service, YourTutor, and relationships with the students’ perceptions of their academic capabilities and academic performance. A theoretical model incorporating variables from the Technology Acceptance Model, the Theory of Planned Behavior, and Social Cognitive Theory was developed and tested. A total of 506 undergraduate students from a university located in Sydney, Australia, completed an online survey. Data were analysed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM). The results suggested that the perceived usefulness of YourTutor had a direct positive relationship with academic self-efficacy, and an indirect positive association with the students’ academic grades through academic self-efficacy. There was a direct positive relationship between academic self-efficacy and students’ academic grades. The implications of these results and directions for future research are discussed in this report.

title: Making ‘Culture Vultures’: an investigation into the socio-­‐cultural factors that determine what and how young people learn in the art gallery
Creators: name: Sayers, Esther
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: youth, peer-led, art gallery, dialogue, culture, pedagogy, art, education, audience, ideology, philanthropy, hermeneutics, interpretation, modern and contemporary art

description: This thesis focuses on the Raw Canvas youth programme at Tate Modern (1999-2011). Data is drawn from peer-led workshops and interviews with gallery education professionals. The material has been sifted to extract understanding of the ways in which pedagogies imagine and construct learners in voluntary and unaccredited educational environments. The particular educational context of the art gallery, in comparison to learning in formal educational environments, is central to the research. The title refers to Peterson’s (1992) conception of the ‘cultural omnivore’ as an individual whose tastes span popular and high cultures. This term describes the work of youth programmes at Tate Modern whilst simultaneously revealing the underlying problem: that such cultural infidelity is primarily a middle class characteristic. Was the aim of this youth programme to make all young people middle-class? The thesis begins by exploring the historical context for gallery education before a detailed study of theoretical frameworks for the interpretation of art: hermeneutics. Specific interrogation of critical, constructivist and emancipatory pedagogies create a backdrop to the analysis. Audience development and inclusion initiatives are key themes that run throughout the study and are explored in relation to the political landscape, personal ideologies and the academic imperatives of learning in this context. The outcomes point to the fact that inclusion initiatives fail to be inclusive when they employ pedagogies that are not suited to individual learners and rely too heavily on the specific ideology of the learning institution itself. Ideologies define what we do and as such they must be made visible to young people and be open for discussion so that we avoid merely teaching acceptance of the dominant ideology of the time. I conclude that art educators must consider what we are doing for learning and the arts and whom we are doing it for?

Does derivative instruments use increase accounting performance of banks in emerging and recently developed countries
Creators: name: Keffala, Mohamed Rochdi
name: De Peretti, Christian
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2016

description: According to literature, principal findings reveal that by using derivatives banks in developed countries improve their performance. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of four derivative instruments (forwards, swaps, options and futures) used by banks in both emerging and recently developed countries on accounting performance. Overall sample is defined by 137 banks from both emerging and recently developed countries covering the period 2003-2010. Contrarily to expectations, overall findings indicate that derivative instruments decrease bank performance in the case of these countries.
