Das Charisma der Freundschaft, oder: Wodurch eine Feier zum Fest werden kann
Creators: name: Sparn, Walter
Publisher: name: Spazio Filosofico
Year: 2015

description: Through an interpretation of Friedrich Hölderlin’s hymn, Friedensfeier, firstly, the essay formulates the hypothesis that it is the spirit of friendship that transforms a celebration, which one can deliberately plan and stage, into a festival, for which friends can hope but whose splendor and happiness they cannot produce. Secondly, the essay clarifies the semantic profiles and the modern variation in the relation between ritual ceremonies, which are often instrumentalized by social interests, and festivals, whose emergence is intermingled for example with affective excitement. Thirdly, the essay criticizes definitions of the “essence” of festivals (for example, excess vs. reflection) and religious-utopian attempts at merging festivals and everydayness. Fourthly, even phenomenological definitions of festivals as “the other of everydayness” do not get to the cultural difference between celebrations and festivals. Such a distinction becomes however describable in an ideal-typical manner if one analyzes the charismatic genesis of non-everyday cultural practices. Fifthly, the essay identifies the charismatic moment of friendship and justifies the thesis that friends respect the difference between feasible ceremonies and contingent festivity transcending ceremonial style – friends are as well willing to open up to this creative transformation. Finally, the essay reflects on some implications of the thesis in terms of philosophy of religion and theology. Against Christian suspicions of festive exuberance, the essay highlights the eschatological legitimacy of Hölderlin’s entanglement of festivals and friendship. A happy festival among friends is the promise of an epiphany of the divine, a performative sign of God’s kingdom, which in fact is a kingdom of friendship.

description: As an important branch of quantum secure multiparty computation, quantum private comparison (QPC) has attracted more and more attention recently. In this paper, according to the quantum implementation mechanism that these protocols used, we divide these protocols into three categories: The quantum cryptography QPC, the superdense coding QPC, and the entanglement swapping QPC. And then, a more in-depth analysis on the research progress, design idea, and substantive characteristics of corresponding QPC categories is carried out, respectively. Finally, the applications of QPC and quantum secure multi-party computation issues are discussed and, in addition, three possible research mainstream directions are pointed out.

description: Multi-fidelity models provide a framework for integrating computational models of varying complexity, allowing for accurate predictions while optimizing computational resources. These models are especially beneficial when acquiring high-accuracy data is costly or computationally intensive. This review offers a comprehensive analysis of multi-fidelity models, focusing on their applications in scientific and engineering fields, particularly in optimization and uncertainty quantification. It classifies publications on multi-fidelity modeling according to several criteria, including application area, surrogate model selection, types of fidelity, combination methods and year of publication. The study investigates techniques for combining different fidelity levels, with an emphasis on multi-fidelity surrogate models. This work discusses reproducibility, open-sourcing methodologies and benchmarking procedures to promote transparency. The manuscript also includes educational toy problems to enhance understanding. Additionally, this paper outlines best practices for presenting multi-fidelity-related savings in a standardized, succinct and yet thorough manner. The review concludes by examining current trends in multi-fidelity modeling, including emerging techniques, recent advancements, and promising research directions.

description: Clustering problems are fundamental to unsupervised learning. There is an increased emphasis on fairness in machine learning and AI; one representative notion of fairness is that no single demographic group should be over-represented among the cluster-centers. This, and much more general clustering problems, can be formulated with "knapsack" and "partition" constraints. We develop new randomized algorithms targeting such problems, and study two in particular: multi-knapsack median and multi-knapsack center. Our rounding algorithms give new approximation and pseudo-approximation algorithms for these problems. One key technical tool, which may be of independent interest, is a new tail bound analogous to Feige (2006) for sums of random variables with unbounded variances. Such bounds can be useful in inferring properties of large networks using few samples.

description: Selection is a fundamental task in exploratory analysis and visualization of 3D point clouds. Prior researches on selection methods were developed mainly based on heuristics such as local point density, thus limiting their applicability in general data. Specific challenges root in the great variabilities implied by point clouds (e.g., dense vs. sparse), viewpoint (e.g., occluded vs. non-occluded), and lasso (e.g., small vs. large). In this work, we introduce LassoNet, a new deep neural network for lasso selection of 3D point clouds, attempting to learn a latent mapping from viewpoint and lasso to point cloud regions. To achieve this, we couple user-target points with viewpoint and lasso information through 3D coordinate transform and naive selection, and improve the method scalability via an intention filtering and farthest point sampling. A hierarchical network is trained using a dataset with over 30K lasso-selection records on two different point cloud data. We conduct a formal user study to compare LassoNet with two state-of-the-art lasso-selection methods. The evaluations confirm that our approach improves the selection effectiveness and efficiency across different combinations of 3D point clouds, viewpoints, and lasso selections.

Circle actions on four dimensional almost complex manifolds with discrete fixed point sets

description: We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for pairs of integers to arise as the weights at the fixed points of an effective circle action on a compact almost complex 4-manifold with a discrete fixed point set. As an application, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a pair of integers to arise as the Chern numbers of such an action, answering negatively a question by Sabatini whether $c_1^2[M] \leq 3 c_2[M]$ holds for any such manifold $M$. We achieve this by demonstrating that pairs of integers that arise as weights of a circle action, also arise as weights of a restriction of a $\mathbb{T}^2$-action. Furthermore, we discuss applications to circle actions on complex/symplectic 4-manifolds and semi-free circle actions with discrete fixed point sets.

La festa tra guerra e fraternità
Creators: name: Longato, Fulvio
Publisher: name: Spazio Filosofico
Year: 2015

description: Festivals are threshold-events between everydayness and non-everydayness. They mirror the way in which we relate to others and to reality in general, as attested by the main functions performed by festivals. In the essay, such functions are critically examined with reference to Caillois, Bachtin, Pieper, and Gadamer. On the background of the tension (in a real as well as figurative sense) between fratricide and fraternity that characterizes shared life, the essay identifies the specific feature of festivals to lie in the intentional co-presence of four modalities of life, namely: a communitarian dimension, a positive attribution of meaningfulness to the theme of festivals, an autotelic activity, and an expressive form connoted mainly by sensory and bodily elements. Antidote to the degeneration of festivals is a communitarian dimension centered on relational goods; their implementation is capable of regenerating everydayness in cases when a prevalence of instrumental and egocentric relations appears.

description: Relief algorithm is a feature selection algorithm used in binary classification proposed by Kira and Rendell, and its computational complexity remarkable increases with both the scale of samples and the number of features. In order to reduce the complexity, a quantum feature selection algorithm based on Relief algorithm, also called quantum Relief algorithm, is proposed. In the algorithm, all features of each sample are superposed by a certain quantum state through the \emph{CMP} and \emph{rotation} operations, then the \emph{swap test} and measurement are applied on this state to get the similarity between two samples. After that, \emph{Near-hit} and \emph{Near-miss} are obtained by calculating the maximal similarity, and further applied to update the feature weight vector $WT$ to get $WT'$ that determine the relevant features with the threshold $τ$. In order to verify our algorithm, a simulation experiment based on IBM Q with a simple example is performed. Efficiency analysis shows the computational complexity of our proposed algorithm is \emph{O(M)}, while the complexity of the original Relief algorithm is \emph{O(NM)}, where $N$ is the number of features for each sample, and $M$ is the size of the sample set. Obviously, our quantum Relief algorithm has superior acceleration than the classical one.

Compared with those protocols based on the entangled states (GHZ state, EPR pairs, etc.), the present protocol is more economic and feasible within present technology. In order to guarantee the security and the fairness of the auction, the decoy photon checking technique and an improved post-confirmation mechanism with EPR pairs are introduced respectively.

description: Abstract We analyze the Newton flow of the Riemann zeta function ζ and rederive in an elementary way the Riemann–von Mangoldt estimate of the number of non-trivial zeros below a given imaginary part. The representation of the flow on the Riemann sphere highlights the importance of the North pole as the starting and turning point of the separatrices, that is of the continental divides of the Newton flow. We argue that the resulting patterns may lead to deeper insight into the Riemann hypothesis. For this purpose we also compare and contrast the Newton flow of ζ with that of a function which in many ways is similar to ζ, but violates the Riemann hypothesis.

However, it is still a key challenge to protect data privacy when a user accesses the sensitive cloud data. Privacy-preserving database query allows the user to retrieve a data item from the cloud database without revealing the information of the queried data item, meanwhile limiting user's ability to access other ones. In this study, in order to achieve the privacy preservation and reduce the communication complexity, a quantum-based database query scheme for privacy preservation in cloud environment is developed. Specifically, all the data items of the database are firstly encrypted by different keys for protecting server's privacy, and in order to guarantee the clients' privacy, the server is required to transmit all these encrypted data items to the client with the oblivious transfer strategy. Besides, two oracle operations, a modified Grover iteration, and a special offset encryption mechanism are combined together to ensure that the client can correctly query the desirable data item. Finally, performance evaluation is conducted to validate the correctness, privacy, and efficiency of our proposed scheme.

description: The global increase in antibiotic resistances demands for additional efforts to identify novel antimicrobials such as bacteriocins. These antimicrobial peptides of bacterial origin are already used widely in food preservation and promising alternatives for antibiotics in animal feed and some clinical setting. Identification of novel antimicrobials is facilitated by appropriate high throughput screening (HTS) methods. Previously, we have described a rapid, simple and cost-efficient assay based on live biosensor bacteria for detection of antimicrobial compounds that act on membrane integrity using the ratiometric pH-dependent fluorescent protein pHluorin2 (pHin2). Here, we use these biosensors to develop an integrated pipeline for high-throughput identification of bacteriocin producers and their biosynthetic gene clusters. We extend the existing portfolio of biosensors by generating pHin2 expressing strains of Escherichia coli , Bacillus cereus , Staphylococcus epidermidis , and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus . These strains were characterized, and control experiments were performed to assess heterogeneity of these biosensors in response to known bacteriocins and develop a robust HTS system. To allow detection of compounds that inhibit target bacteria by inhibiting growth without disturbing membrane integrity, the HTS system was extended with a growth-dependent readout. Using this HTS system, we screened supernatants of a total of 395 strains of a collection of lactic acid bacteria. After two rounds of screening 19 strains of the collection were identified that produced antimicrobial activity against Listeria innocua and Listeria monocytogenes . Genomes of confirmed hits were sequenced and annotated. In silico analysis revealed that the identified strains encode between one and six biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) for bacteriocins. Our results suggest that pHin2 biosensors provides a flexible, cheap, fast, robust and easy to handle HTS system for identification of potential bacteriocins and their BGCs in large strain collections. © In Copyright http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/

TYPE SPECIES. — Albardonia bifoliata n. sp., by present designation.
ETYMOLOGY. — The new genus is named after Albardon village near which this genus was found.
DIAGNOSIS. — Ramose colony consisting of bifoliate fronds; encrusting sheets and secondary overgrowth common; autozooecia budding from mesotheca or epitheca, having angular shape of transverse section in endozone; autozooecial apertures angular with rounded corners; basal diaphragms common both in endozone and exozone, straight, or inclined; mesozooecia abundant, containing densely spaced diaphragms; aktinotostyles moderately large, abundant, originating in exozone, autozooecial walls laminated, integrated with dark median lining, showing reversal V-shaped lamination, without cingulum; maculae lacking.
OCCURRENCE. — La Pola Formation, Upper Ordovician, Sandbian; Argentine Precordillera, western Argentina.
COMPARISON
The new genus is characterized by abundant mesozooecia and aktinotostyles. It is similar to the genus Leioclema Ulrich, 1882 in having abundant and large mesozooecia, but differs in the presence of aktinotostyles instead of acanthostyles in the latter genus.

description: The delegating private quantum computation (DQC) protocol with the universal quantum gate set $\left\{ {X,Z,H,P,R,CNOT} \right\}$ was firstly proposed by Broadbent \emph{et al.}, and then Tan \emph{et al.} tried to put forward an half-blind DQC protocol (HDQC) with another universal set $\left\{ {H,P,CNOT,T} \right\}$. However, the decryption circuit of \emph{Toffoli} gate (i.e., \emph{T}) is a little redundant, and Tan \emph{et al}.'s protocol exists the information leak. In addition, both of these two protocols just focus on the blindness of data (i.e., the client's input and output), but do not consider the blindness of computation (i.e., the delegated quantum operation). For solving these problems, we propose a full-blind DQC protocol (FDQC) with quantum gate set $\left\{ {H,P,CNOT,T} \right\}$ , where the desirable delegated quantum operation, one of $\left\{ {H,P,CNOT,T} \right\}$ , is replaced by a fixed sequence $\left \{ {H,P,T,CZ,CNOT} \right\}$ to make the computation blind, and the decryption circuit of \emph{Toffoli} gate is also optimized. Analysis shows that our protocol can not only correctly perform any delegated quantum computation, but also holds the characteristics of data blindness and computation blindness.

description: Festivals introduce an interruption in the flow of everyday life. Within the limits marked by such an interruption, a form of experience different from the ordinary takes place. The time of festivals evokes and makes present the sacred time in which events that have founded human society have occurred. In festivals, on the one hand, one can grasp and represent the meanings that ground human experience; on the other hand, a form of full life takes place. In the modern period, festivals relinquish their connection with the religious dimension, and such features fade away. Yet one cannot say that they disappear entirely. They are grasped in a fragmentary way, and this is enough to turn them into marks of resistance against the reduction of human experience to a purely utilitarian dimension.

description: Abstract
Amyloid beta (Aβ) plays a major role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease and, more recently, has been shown to protect against liver fibrosis. Therefore, we studied Aβ-42 levels and the expression of genes involved in the generation, degradation, and transport of Aβ proteins in liver samples from patients at different stages of metabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease (MASLD) and under steatotic conditions in vitro/in vivo. Amyloid precursor protein (APP), key Aβ-metabolizing proteins, and Aβ-42 were analyzed using RT-PCR, Western blotting, Luminex analysis in steatotic in vitro and fatty liver mouse models, and TaqMan qRT-PCR analysis in hepatic samples from patients with MASLD. Hepatocytes loaded with palmitic acid induced APP, presenilin, and neprilysin (NEP) expression, which was reversed by oleic acid. Increased APP and NEP, decreased BACE1, and unchanged Aβ-42 protein levels were found in the steatotic mouse liver compared to the normal liver. Aβ-42 concentrations were low in MASLD samples of patients with moderate to severe fibrosis compared to the livers of patients with mild or no MASLD. Consistent with the reduced Aβ-42 levels, the mRNA expression of proteins involved in APP degradation (ADAM9/10/17, BACE2) and Aβ-42 cleavage (MMP2/7/9, ACE) was increased. In the steatotic liver, the expression of APP- and Aβ-metabolizing proteins is increased, most likely related to oxidative stress, but does not affect hepatic Aβ-42 levels. Consistent with our previous findings, low Aβ-42 levels in patients with liver fibrosis appear to be caused by the reduced production and enhanced non-amyloidogenic processing of APP.
Festa errante

description: In the 1900s, festivals were understood in a variety of ways polarized around Frazer’s and Freud’s positions. Both Frazer and Freud emphasize the features of suspension of everydayness, marginality, and transgression that belong to festivals. Over time, these notions have declined and have been unified in the idea of festivals understood as the fulfillment of (a here unspecifiable) desire. This vision has been opposed with a perspective that instead emphasizes the sacrificial role that every festival entails in its beginning, middle, and end. The essay focuses on two typical aspects of festivals: 1) participants adapt their behavior to 2) what happens. The analysis of participants and festivals-as-events supports the hypothesis that is here advanced; namely, the event introduces an interruption in everydayness and the participants experience an excess of meaning as manifestation of an originary time and sacred space. What is revealed in the sacredness of the beginning is also the necessity of sacrifices. Such a necessity is determined by a radical need for consolation and by the experience of contradiction, which follow a heterogenesis of ends or a dis-teleology. In the example that is proposed, participants in the festival become sacrificial victims of unexpected actors, who are in turn errant and casual. Briefly, Chateaubriand’s testimony reminds us that the participants in the festival find their own death and those who cross path with them will inadvertently rejoice in another festival because of the death that has been given.

description: Extracting relevant features from data sets where the number of observations ($n$) is much smaller then the number of predictors ($p$) is a major challenge in modern statistics. Sorted L-One Penalized Estimation (SLOPE), a generalization of the lasso, is a promising method within this setting. Current numerical procedures for SLOPE, however, lack the efficiency that respective tools for the lasso enjoy, particularly in the context of estimating a complete regularization path. A key component in the efficiency of the lasso is predictor screening rules: rules that allow predictors to be discarded before estimating the model. This is the first paper to establish such a rule for SLOPE. We develop a screening rule for SLOPE by examining its subdifferential and show that this rule is a generalization of the strong rule for the lasso. Our rule is heuristic, which means that it may discard predictors erroneously. We present conditions under which this may happen and show that such situations are rare and easily safeguarded against by a simple check of the optimality conditions. Our numerical experiments show that the rule performs well in practice, leading to improvements by orders of magnitude for data in the $p \gg n$ domain, as well as incurring no additional computational overhead when $n \gg p$. We also examine the effect of correlation structures in the design matrix on the rule and discuss algorithmic strategies for employing the rule. Finally, we provide an efficient implementation of the rule in our R package SLOPE.

Does Treatment of Adolescent Fractures Differ between Specialties? A Survey among Pediatric and Trauma Surgeons

description: From a traumatological point of view, adolescents (12–18 years) represent a special group
of patients. This is due to their biomechanical characteristics being between pediatric and adult
fracture types. In Germany, they are treated by both pediatric and trauma surgeons. For this survey,
seven cases of adolescent fractures were evaluated by both pediatric and trauma surgeons and
their preferred treatment options were raised. The questionnaires were completed anonymously.
Additionally, information on the specialty and years of experience were asked. In total, 126 valid
questionnaires were obtained (from 78 pediatric and 48 trauma surgeons). The respondents’ mean
clinical experience was high (71.5% stated more than 10 years of surgical experience). For every single
exemplary case, a significant difference in therapy decisions between the groups could be found. For
the demonstrated seven cases, a tendency toward more operative and more invasive treatments was
found with trauma surgeons compared to pediatric surgeons. On the other hand, there was a risk
of underestimating the severity of fracture entities similar to adult fractures in pediatric surgeons.
Overall, a continuous interdisciplinary exchange between both surgical specialties is necessary to
ensure optimal treatment for adolescent fractures and to develop guidelines in the future.
Metafisica e tempo della festa

Publisher: name: Spazio Filosofico

description: The essay centers on the connection between truth and time. The originarily tragic constitution of such a connection undergoes a turn in the birth of metaphysical thought. Metaphysical thought is here presented as a form of thinking that unfolds entirely within the path of the skeptical, Socratic principle of “knowing not to know” and unrolls ideally in a time without duration, a time unrepresentable to consciousness, a merely logical time. With reference to Aristotle’s Physics, the essay characterizes such a purely rational time as free from movement and places it in relation with the time of festivals. From the perspective of metaphysics, to live the time of festivals means to pause in view of the aporetic condition whose fecundity is theorized in Socratic dialectics and later, in a much more systematic way, in Hegel’s doctrine of the determinate negation.
