description: We consider distributed optimization over several devices, each sending incremental model updates to a central server. This setting is considered, for instance, in federated learning. Various schemes have been designed to compress the model updates in order to reduce the overall communication cost. However, existing methods suffer from a significant slowdown due to additional variance ω>0
 coming from the compression operator and as a result, only converge sublinearly. What is needed is a variance reduction technique for taming the variance introduced by compression. We propose the first methods that achieve linear convergence for arbitrary compression operators. For strongly convex functions with condition number κ, distributed among n machines with a finite-sum structure, each worker having less than m components, we also (i) give analysis for the weakly convex and the non-convex cases and (ii) verify in experiments that our novel variance reduced schemes are more efficient than the baselines. Moreover, we show theoretically that as the number of devices increases, higher compression levels are possible without this affecting the overall number of communications in comparison with methods that do not perform any compression. This leads to a significant reduction in communication cost. Our general analysis allows to pick the most suitable compression for each problem, finding the right balance between additional variance and communication savings. Finally, we also (iii) give analysis for arbitrary quantized updates.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

La Naksa del 1967 e la crisi degli intellettuali arabi: la lettura gramsciana di Ibrahim Abu Rabi’
Creators: name: Campanini, Massimo
Publisher: name: Materialismo Storico
Year: 2020

description: Although Antonio Gramsci considered religion as a primitive form of culture, the Palestinian historian Ibrahim Abu Rabi’, professing to walk in his footsteps, emphasized on the contrary the positive role of Islam and the potential hegemonic function of Muslim intellectuals. In the broad framework of the Arab intellect predicament after the naksa of 1967 until the today failed “Arab springs”, Abu Rabi’ discussed, among others, Muhammad al-Ghazali’s and Muhammad al-Jabiri’s thought. In Gramscian terms, “optimism of will” can overcome “pessimism of reason” in order to build up a new Arab democratic and socialist city. Contemporary Arab intellighentsia is searching for new ways of expression and it is arguable that religion (Islam) will still enjoy in the future a decisive place. Hegemony; Popular religion; Arab predicament; Naksa; Arab springs.

description: Hybrid sol-gel coatings prepared using organically modified silanes and corrosion inhibitors are used for the surface protection of metals and alloys. This paper focuses on the corrosion behaviour and compatibility of silica nanoparticles as nanocontainers in silica–titania hybrid system. The surface protection of the alloy is improved by using silica nanoparticles as nanocontainers for cerium (III) inhibitor. The hybrid coating system protected AA2024-T3 alloy effectively against corrosion when immersed in NaCl solution for prolonged hours. The barrier property of the sol-gel film was found to be reinforced due to the presence of cerium nitrate inhibitor in the silica nanoparticles.

description: The study objective is to investigate effect of licorice root extract on growth of probiotic microorganisms. As fructan percentage in licorice roots is 27.8–28.8%, this value is sufficient to enable the raw material suitability as a prebiotic ingredient. The licorice root extract (0.1%, 1% and 10% of medium volume) was added to media. The same media without added extract were considered as controls. Effect of the licorice root extract on growth of probiotic microorganisms was studied in 2 commercial probiotic drug Bifiform (Denmark) and Bifidobacterin forte (Russia). Licorice root extract provides probiotic bacteria an opportunity to tolerate acidity/alkalinity gradient of model media well and to decrease their count slower. In vitro studies showed, what 1% extract provides more favorable conditions for microorganisms that 10% one.

description: La Conquête de l’Amérique is the first book that Todorov did not appear in «Poetic» since he came to create this collection in 1970 with Gérard Genette et Hélène Cixous. He co-led the collection until 1987. For nearly fifteen years «Poetics», as well as the eponymous magazine, were thus at the center of the intellectual life of Todorov, keeping it both as an author and editor. Follow this trajectory, the creation of «Poetic»/Poetics in the wake of may 68 until the last book that Todorov gave the collection (Critique de la critique in 1984), therefore, enter both the evolution of the theoretical thinking of the author and the fluctuations of his editorial practice.

description: Two different quaternary amine polymers were examined as primary coagulants for the removal of natural organic matter (NOM) and concurrent production of flocs favorable for downstream membrane separation. The primary issue explored was the relationship between various coagulation conditions on the floc characteristics and the subsequent performance of microfiltration when filtering coagulated NOM. The size distribution and morphological properties of flocs formed through the coagulation of NOM were characterized and the effects of polymer type and dose on these characteristics were also examined. Coagulation of NOM using polydiallyldimethyl-ammonium chloride (pDADMAC) produced looser and less settleable flocs compared to dosing the equivalent amount of epichlorohydrin/dimethylamine (epi/DMA). This was associated with the formation of a relatively denser cake layer on the top of the membrane for the filtration of NOM coagulated with epi/DMA. The charge neutralization coagulation condition with the polymers removed almost all of the fouling tendency that had occurred when filtering raw NOM. The median diameter and the fractal dimension of the flocs produced increased as the zeta potential approached zero, which resulted in the formation of a cake layer that was easily removed from the surface of the membrane.

description: In this thesis, we explore the implications of a recent algorithm by Scott Aaronson and Jason Pollack showing that it is possible to reconstruct a bulk AdS geometry given contiguous entropies from a CFT on the boundary. We consider this in light of the area law/volume law phase transition in monitored circuit models, and show that volume law entanglement corresponds to the formation of large-scale structure in the bulk, while area law entanglement fails to do so. We also investigate behavior near the quantum critical point, finding preliminary evidence that a dual phase transition in the bulk may coincide with the formation of a nontrivial bulk geometry.

description: BackgroundThe development of Human Resources for Health (HRH) is one of the keys to achieving The Millennium Development Goals (MDG). Providing and ensuring the best health care service in every region of Indonesia has long been a major concern. Several challenges faced by HRH development are a shortage of professionals, uneven distribution of professionals between regions, a variety of settings (urban and rural), and management of the health workforce under a decentralization system.AimThis paper aims to assess the HRH progress made toward achieving the health-related MDGs.MethodsA desk study was performed from relevant published materials. Literature was reviewed from databases of the Ministry of Health. A clear understanding of the progress and challenges is critical to accelerating the achievement of MDGs.ResultsThe health policy of Indonesia has been adjusted to achieve MDGs. A significant scale‐up in the HRH can contribute to significant number to meet the MDGs. HRH dimensions that must be addressed include comprehensive HRH strategies and strengthening management under decentralization system.ConclusionHuman resources are one of supporting unit in achieving Millennium Development Goals. Therefore, it is important to identify where we stand and mobilize more resources to meet the off track in MDGs.
«Anoressia di fronte alla sovranità». Il concetto di egemonia e l’analisi delle classi dominanti latinoamericane, dalle teorie della dipendenza all’opera di René Zavaleta Mercado
Creators: name: Cortés, Martín
Publisher: name: Materialismo Storico
Year: 2020

description: The purpose of this work is to explore aspects of the work of the Bolivian author René Zavaleta, who claims that the Latin American ruling classes do not have a "hegemonic vocation". This means that they do not perform the so-called "national tasks" of developing a nation but develop in a relationship of close subordination to foreign capital (Zavaleta calls this attitude "anorexia towards sovereignty"). The article focuses on Zavaleta's analysis of the problem of the "social equation" (the relationship between State and Society) in Latin America, which raises the question of the conditions in which the subordinate classes can aspire to hegemony once the dominant classes seem to have renounced it.

From hegemonic projects to historical initiatives: rethinking the political practice of hegemony
Creators: name: Sotiris, Panagiotis
Publisher: name: Materialismo Storico
Year: 2020

description: The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand it attempts to retrace the emergence of the notion of the hegemonic project, in various debates, beginning with the debate within British Marxism on Thatcherism as a hegemonic project, but also the use of the notion of the hegemonic project in critical International Relations Theory. On the other hand, by means of a return to Gramsci’s thinking on hegemony, it attempts to rethink the notion of the hegemonic project in contemporary political debates in the left and to suggest that we must attempt to think of hegemonic projects not as simple political projects or electoral strategies, but rather as historical initiatives of the subaltern. On this basis, the possibility of a subaltern hegemonic practice of politics is revisited. Gramsci; Hegemony; Hegemonic project; Marxism; Radical politics.

description: The aim of this work is to outline, in a descriptive and not analytical way, the main aspects of the Latin American reception of the Gramscian notion of "hegemony", and to argue that these interpretations possess certain characteristics that allow us, in line of hypothesis, to speak of a "Latin American school of hegemony". We then proceed to an exposition, both geographical and thematic, with the aim of highlighting the most relevant characteristics of this "school". In the last section of the article the author discusses the "postcolonial" interpretation of Gramsci's reception in Latin America proposed by Walter Mignolo, and the so-called "philological" Italian approach to Gramsci's study.

Il contributo delle nuove interpretazioni di Gramsci alla delineazione della strategia politica contemporanea

Publisher: name: Materialismo Storico
Year: 2020

description: This article analyzes the main aspects of the so called “philological” readings of Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks and their possible contributions to think about political strategy. The first group of innovations of these readings is composed by the abandonment of the structure-superstructure metaphor, the relativization of the concept of “law”, and a more accurate notion of “crisis”. The second group of contributions is made up of the conceptualization of hegemony as relations of forces and as a struggle for hegemony, the relativization of the concept of “historical bloc”, and the clarification of the relationship between civil society and political society. And, finally, the third group of innovations comprehends the development of a perspective that think the hegemony as subjectivity's construction and that differentiates between different types of hegemony.

description: Feeling moved or touched can be accompanied by tears, goosebumps, and sensations of warmth in the centre of the chest. The experience has been described frequently, but psychological science knows little about it. We propose that labelling one’s feeling as being moved or touched is a component of a social-relational emotion that we term kama muta (its Sanskrit label). We hypothesise that it is caused by appraising an intensification of communal sharing relations. Here, we test this by investigating people’s moment-to-moment reports of feeling moved and touched while watching six short videos. We compare these to six other sets of participants’ moment-to-moment responses watching the same videos: respectively, judgements of closeness (indexing communal sharing), reports of weeping, goosebumps, warmth in the centre of the chest, happiness, and sadness. Our eighth time series is expert ratings of communal sharing. Time series analyses show strong and consistent cross-correlations of feeling moved and touched and closeness with each other and with each of the three physiological variables and expert-rated communal sharing – but distinctiveness from happiness and sadness. These results support our model.

Syninclusions: K-25549a, Acari, spiderweb, numerous stellate hairs; K-25550, leg of Cicadinea, Oribatei. The specimen was obtained on Ukramber factory (Rovno) and was found in the Pugach quarry. The external eye to eye distance (which is used as a parameter for the eye-stalk length) of the Rovno specimen is 2.50 mm, fitting in the ratio of P. succini (Kotrba, 2004). Also the overall habitus directs to this species. However, a micro-CT scan might perhaps reveal optically blurred details with more information, so it would be better to determine this specimen tentatively as Prosphyracephala aff. succini, especially because this Rovno specimen has a different origin than the Baltic specimens. It is the first record the Diopsidae from the Ukraine.

description: The general consensus of the research on US primary contests is that voters consider candidates’ potential for a general election victory when choosing their party’s nominee. Yet, at the individual level, this literature has failed to (1) clearly isolate the effects of electability from the money and media attention that they generate; and (2) properly control for the potential effects of ideology. Using an original experimental design, I find that electability can increase the likelihood of a voter supporting a more ideologically distant candidate. I also show that when faced with a tradeoff, a large percentage of subjects from both parties choose electability over ideology. The resulting implication is that there is potential for moderates to be successful in primaries, as even ideologically extreme voters appear to be willing to compromise on policy representation when confronted with a more distant but electable candidate.

description: An expanding literature indicates that in multiparty systems with coalition governments, citizens consider the post-electoral bargaining process among parties when casting their vote. Yet, we know surprisingly little about the nature of voters’ coalition preferences. This paper uses data from the Austrian National Election Study to examine the determinants as well as the independence of preferences for coalitions as political object. We find that coalition preferences are strongly informed by spatial considerations; but additional non-ideological factors, such as party and leader preferences, also play a fundamental role. We also find that coalitions enjoy a certain degree of independence from other objects of vote choice and they do not always represent a simple average score on the feeling thermometer of the constituent parties. There are, however, substantial differences among voters, with party identifiers and those with extreme ideology being less likely to consider coalitions as separate entities from their component parties.

Additional objectives are: 1) to define the circular economy implementation in the context of the challenges for future circular cities and 2) to characterize the taxonomy of LLs, identifying the main stakeholders and their synergies and connections (city council, water utilities, multisectorial companies, agricultural parks, natural parks, supramunicipal organisms, etc), their roles in the region and their relation through the Water-Energy-Waste-Materials nexus.

Methodology:Technical and socioeconomic information about circular economy initiatives has been collected and a preliminary list of stakeholders and their circular maps has been characterised for the 6 Living Labs: Alicante, Bodø, East Frisia, Flanders, Lisbon and Venice. This report defines data that will be collected regarding: water (water balance, input quantity and quality data, distribution networks, wastewater treatments, reclaimed water, consumption and uses of water, etc.); energy (energy consumption and source, energy production, use of renewable energies, etc); raw materials (material flows, types and characteristics, etc); waste (waste generation, type of waste, valorization potential, waste treatments, etc.) and current business models. 

Results and findings:A list of data and specification to identify circular opportunities based on Water-Energy-Waste-Materials nexus. Living Labs characterisation, evaluation of their regions taxonomy and preliminary identification of stakeholders to have a roadmap to identify circularities.

description: Context: LR-peptide, a novel hydrophilic peptide synthetized and characterized in previous work, is able to reduce the multi-drug resistance response in cisplatin (cDPP) resistant cancer cells by inhibiting human thymidylate synthase (hTS) overexpressed in several tumors, including ovarian and colon-rectal cancers, but it is unable to enter the cells spontaneously. Objective: The aim of this work was to design and characterize liposomal vesicles as drug delivery systems for the LR peptide, evaluating the possible benefits of the pH-responsive feature in improving intracellular delivery. Materials and methods: For this purpose, conventional and pH-sensitive liposomes were formulated, compared regarding their physical-chemical properties (size, PDI, morphology, in vitro stability and drug release) and studied for in vitro cytotoxicity against a cDDP-resistant cancer cells. Results and discussion: Results indicated that LR peptide was successfully encapsulated in both liposomal formulations but at short incubation time only LR loaded pH-sensitive liposomes showed cell inhibition activity while for long incubation time the two kinds of liposomes demonstrated the same efficacy. Conclusions: Data provide evidence that acidic pH-triggered liposomal delivery is able to significantly reduce the time required by the systems to deliver the drug to the cells without inducing an enhancement of the efficacy of the drug.
title: Lire l’hésitation: vers l’expérience cognitive du genre narratif

description: The article aims at reinterpreting the generic theory developed by Todorov throughout Introduction à la littérature fantastique, Typologie du roman policier and L’origine des genres. Anticipating further developments of cognitive narratology, Todorov’s categories can nowadays be fully operational for new research in genre studies. Introduction à la littérature fantastique suggests that the empathic relation between character and reader might constitute a zero degree of generic experience for the latter. By structuring along the plot, the recurring, empathic relation develops into models comparable to intertextual scripts underpinned by the same speech act. Every pragmatic macro-sequence being reduced to larger units of meaning, the reader can identify the generic recurrence of the speech act by inference. This permits to revisit the institutional concept of narrative genre from an experiential perspective: forms and modes of enunciation define the quality of the empathic relation between character and reader, while themes guarantee for the semantic recurrence of the fictional worlds where the empathic relation is set.

description: The development and yield of Chinese cabbage is influenced by soil moisture. The objective of this study was to evaluate the physiological indicators, development, and yield of Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis (Lour.) Rupr.) grown at different soil water tension ranges. Two experiments were conducted (2016–2017) in the Olericulture Sector of the Federal University of Technology of Paraná. Two cultivars of the Chinese cabbage, Eikoo and Kinjitsu, and four soil water tension ranges 13–17, 23–27, 33–37, and 43–47 kPa were studied. Eikoo presented higher relative chlorophyll index, photosynthesis, and fresh leaf mass than did Kinjitsu. Physiological indicators transpiration (5.8 mmol H2O m-2 s -1 ), photosynthesis (14.5 µmol CO2 m-2 s -1 ), stomatal conductance (0.31 mol H2O m-2 s -1 ), and WUE (39.4 kg m-3 ) were higher at 13–17 kPa soil water tension. Soil water tension ranges with high water restrictions reduced the fresh leaf mass of both cultivars. Fresh leaf mass decreased by 236.2 and 191.7 g plant-1 in the highest soil water tension range in 2016 and 2017, respectively, when compared with the fresh leaf mass at the 13–17 kPa tension range. The lowest water consumption was observed at the 13–17 kPa tension range. The year 2017 resulted in higher internal CO2 concentration, transpiration rate, fresh leaf mass, number of irrigations and water consumption compared to the year 2016. Thus, the irrigation regime for the most optimal Chinese cabbage cultivation should maintain the soil water tension range at 13–17 kPa.

description: La justicia de los afligidos, el origen del culto a los criminales en la Sicilia española: Los criminales ejecutados en el patíbulo fueron objeto de un culto muy singular en Sicilia. Asesinos, violadores, parricidas, ladrones… eran venerados como mártires. Esta extraña devoción fue objeto de estudio de antropólogos y folkloristas que señalaron su origen en los años en que la isla estuvo sometida al dominio español. Los testimonios más antiguos se sitúan justamente en el siglo XVII.Desde entonces, el público asistente las ejecuciones consideró a los condenados a muerte como ánimas protectoras, semejantes a las ánimas del Purgatorio. Este significado nacía de la labor de una cofradía, los blancos de Palermo, cuya acción redimía a los pecadores y los limpiaba del mal, convirtiendo a los criminales en afligidos.En este libro se explica este fenómeno y los intentos reformistas de la corona española que en 1672 trató de desligar la pena capital de toda connotación devocional. Así mismo, dicho intento fue parte de un amplio y ambicioso plan reformista que da una visión muy distinta a la que estamos acostumbrados, un momento de gran dinamismo que contrasta con la imagen de abulia y decadencia con que se describe el reinado de Carlos II “el hechizado”.

description: Background: Models incorporating long-term outcomes (LTOs) are not available to assess the health economic impact of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Objective: Develop a conceptual modelling framework capable of assessing long-term economic impact of ADHD therapies. Methods: Literature was reviewed; a conceptual structure for the long-term model was outlined with attention to disease characteristics and potential impact of treatment strategies. Results: The proposed model has four layers: i) multi-state short-term framework to differentiate between ADHD treatments; ii) multiple states being merged into three core health states associated with LTOs; iii) series of sub-models in which particular LTOs are depicted; iv) outcomes collected to be either used directly for economic analyses or translated into other relevant measures. Conclusions: This conceptual model provides a framework to assess relationships between short- and long-term outcomes of the disease and its treatment, and to estimate the economic impact of ADHD treatments throughout the course of the disease.
Hard law e soft law alla prova della sicurezza sul lavoro negli appalti

description: L’obiettivo del saggio è quello di esaminare il ruolo che i diversi modelli di regolazione della sicurezza, riconducibili alle categorie cd. di hard law e di soft law, svolgono e possono svolgere a fini prevenzionistici nell’ambito di un contesto produttivo complesso in quanto caratterizzato sempre più dall’affidamento di fasi della produzione o di funzioni aziendali a più operatori economici. In particolare, secondo l’autrice, la promozione e l’adozione di tecniche prevenzionistiche volontarie consentirebbero all’impresa capofila di sviluppare procedure di scelta e di monitoraggio degli appaltatori più affidabili, assumendo su di sé, dal punto di vista organizzativo, il controllo della sicurezza dell’intero ciclo produttivo. The essay is aimed at examining the role that regulatory measures for health and safety in the workplace, at hard law and soft law level, can play in the field of outsourcing for preventive purposes. In other words, the objective is to find some feasible solutions to those risks outsourced workers may incur, as the occupational health and safety Italian law is not able to deal with these issues without being supported by the adoption of soft law measures. According to the author, by promoting social corporate responsibility, certifications, compliance programs and social labels, it is possible to make the lead company more accountable to the entire value chain in terms of compliance with health and safety regulations
