description: The morphostructural map of the Serra do Mar in Paraná was (Main Map) made of geologic and geomorphologic data obtained from fieldwork, satellite images, topographic data and information from previous studies. Six important escarpments limited by geologic structures, eight morphostructural units and four morphostructural domains were mapped. Kinematic data and the directions of the main families of faults, interpreted using digital elevation models, permitted us to characterize morphostructures that were generated by Cenozoic deformation events superimposed over older tectonic events. In many cases, we could also identify and map neotectonic features.

description: RF radiation spectrum is central to wireless and radar systems among numerous high-frequency device technologies. Here, we demonstrate sensing of RF signals in the technologically relevant 2.4 GHz range utilizing vanadium dioxide (VO2), a quantum material that has garnered significant interest for its insulator-to-metal transition. We find the electrical resistance of both stoichiometric as well as off-stoichiometric vanadium oxide films can be modulated with RF wave exposures from a distance. The response of the materials to the RF waves can be enhanced by either increasing the power received by the sample or reducing channel separation. We report a significant ~73% drop in resistance with a 5 μm channel gap of the VO2 film at a characteristic response time of 16 microseconds. The peak sensitivity is proximal to the phase transition temperature boundary that can be engineered via doping and crystal chemistry. Dynamic sensing measurements highlight the films' rapid response and broad-spectrum sensitivity. Engineering electronic phase boundaries in correlated electron systems could offer new capabilities in emerging communication technologies.

description: Discontinuous transcription has been described for different mammalian cell lines and numerous promoters. However, our knowledge of how the activity of individual promoters is adjusted by dynamic signaling inputs from transcription factors is limited. To address this question, we characterized the activity of selected target genes that are regulated by pulsatile accumulation of the tumor suppressor p53 in response to ionizing radiation. We performed time-resolved measurements of gene expression at the single-cell level by smFISH and used the resulting data to inform a mathematical model of promoter activity. We found that p53 target promoters are regulated by frequency modulation of stochastic bursting and can be grouped along three archetypes of gene expression. The occurrence of these archetypes cannot solely be explained by nuclear p53 abundance or promoter binding of total p53. Instead, we provide evidence that the time-varying acetylation state of p53’s C-terminal lysine residues is critical for gene-specific regulation of stochastic bursting.

description: This IFIT publication argues that communications and narrative must occupy a much more central part of the vision of transitional justice.

For too long, war crimes tribunals and truth commissions have tried to tell too much of the storyline of mass abuse on their own, disconnected from a larger national conversation and societal narrative that seek to re-imagine a different future in the aftermath of conflict or authoritarian rule. Some of the most powerful voices shaping such narratives – media, public intellectuals and artists – have been treated as just one more type of stakeholder, rather than as distinctive protagonists in creating the possibility of transformative results.

The publication asserts that transitional justice bodies should abandon the ‘our work speaks for itself’ philosophy that has predominated during the last 20 years. Instead, they should proactively insert themselves in the contest of creating discourse, by building productive relations with influential news and social media, and by organising and galvanising constituencies with a deep stake in the process of forging a new national narrative.

description: The objective of this study is to analyze the current situation of the Brazilian economic instruments for increase popular participation to revitalize the cities, specifically on the employment of residential solar energy by Micro and Mini system generation to access on Energy Compensation System, ANEEL, with last rule by the technical note 0020/2012-SRD / ANEEL, advantages and disadvantages of solar energy for residential use, specifically large and medium cities families, cost effective and finally, economic instruments suggestions for encouraging this practice adoption. The research is characterized by a case study, whose object is the evaluation of the power system compensation cited by ANEEL, the Brazilian potential use of solar energy and economic instruments to facilitate the implementation cost for participation all social classes, avoiding access only by people with high purchasing power. This paper presents a qualitative and exploratory-descriptive bias, with the main methodological procedures, the literature review, field works, use of maps and statistics. It was found that there are many problems faced in implementation of solar photovoltaic and solar thermal system on capitals and large and medium-sized Brazilian urban context cities, including financial investment, system unawareness and lack of incentives public in all levels of government, Federal, State and Municipal. It is noticed that there is necessary to improve an integrated and efficient design that considers the needs of the general population with respect to energy solar use adaptation and implementation to minimize the potential environmental impacts.

The Search For The Galactic Codex
Creators: name: Beardsley, Ian
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This paper proposes the concept of a Galactic Codex, a comprehensive collection of mathematical structures underlying star systems throughout the galaxy, inspired by the intricate relationships found within our own Solar System. Through the development of a wave solution, it is shown that the Earth-Moon system exhibits a characteristic time of one second, which intriguingly aligns with the ancient Sumerian division of the day. This characteristic time, derived from the mass of the Moon and fundamental physical constants, also appears to correspond to the fundamental radius of the proton. Additionally, the solar system’s Planck-type constant is defined by the kinetic energy of the Earth, highlighting a profound connection between planetary dynamics and fundamental physical principles. The paper also explores how such characteristic relationships might be fundamental to other star systems, suggesting that civilizations capable of interstellar travel may have similarly cataloged these dynamic structures into a Galactic Codex. Potential archaeological evidence of ancient awareness of these mathematical relationships, as seen in cuneiform tablets and megalithic structures, is also considered. Ultimately, this paper envisions the Galactic Codex as a unifying framework for understanding the dynamic mathematical signatures of life-bearing star systems throughout the galaxy.

description: This study introduces a method to measure strength of spin-orbit interaction (SO) in a nanomagnet, investigating fundamental phenomena governing magnetic anisotropy. The method explores the fundamental property of SO in its linear proportionality to the external magnetic field, a relationship validated through experimental observation. Systematic study of SO in FeCoB nanomagnets reveals distinct SO behaviors in bulk and at an interface, its substantial disparities in single- and multi-layer nanomagnets, intriguing periodic oscillations in SO strength, and the systematic relationship between SO strength, demagnetization field, and magnetic anisotropy based on surface imperfections. These findings provide crucial insights into diverse spin-orbit interaction behaviors, crucial for understanding and optimizing magnetic anisotropy and nanomagnet properties.

description: Regions of provenance of reproductive materials are a mandatory tool for the management of forest genetic resources in Europe. Italian regulation (D. Lgs. 386/2003), in contrast with other European countries, gives this role to regional administrations. Here we present a map of the Regions of Provenance for Abruzzi in central Italy. Three environmental zones were identified according to climatic variability using a spatial clustering procedure and the three main forest species for the region were mapped: European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), European black pine (Pinus nigra J.F. Arnold) and Turkey oak (Quercus cerris L.). The results show that the main driving factors for clustering are temperature regimes reflecting the contrast between the continental climate of the interior of the region versus the Mediterranean climate on the coast. This effect was also evident in the delineation of the Regions of Provenance for the three main species where elevation plays a key role in the selection of seed stands. The Regions of Provenance of the three species will be used for the correct management of forest reproductive materials collected from the six seed stands of the Region.
MERAVIGLIA E CONOSCENZA ALLE ORIGINI DELLA FILOSOFIA

Subjects: Plato, Aristotle, Wonder, Philosophy, Admiration

description: The essay examines the subject of the birth of philosophy from wonder by analysing the first texts in which it appears, that is, a passage from Plato's Theaetetus and chapter 2 of the 1st book of Aristotle's Metaphysics. Both affinities and differences between these two texts are highlighted. According to Plato and Aristotle, philosophy stems from the perplexity experienced when facing what appears inexplicable. However, for Plato wonder is a pathos, that is, a psychophysical phenomenon that upsets and paralyses, while Aristotle examines wonder only for its cognitive effects. For him wonder is caused by cognitive problems arising from the observation of phenomena whose causes are unknown. When philosophical knowledge, or knowledge of causes according to Aristotle, has been acquired, there is no longer any reason to feel wonder. For both Plato and Aristotle, however, there is another form of wonder, namely admiration. According to Plato this type of wonder originates from the contemplation of Forms while for Aristotle admiration may stem from perfection of divinity or order of nature.

Year: 2020
Subjects: Renaissance Poetics, Baroque Poetics, Torquato Tasso, Wunderkammern, Giambattista Marino, Emanuele Tesauro, Giambattista Basile, Fairy Tales.

description: The essay is an overview on the theory and use of wonder, marvel, and the marvellous in Italian literature from the end of 16th c. to the middle of 17th c. It starts with Torquato Tasso’s considerations in his Discorsi dell’arte poetica e del poema eroico, where he connects the marvellous of the chivalric poems to the new trend for epic poems. The essay underlines the peculiarity and significance of Tasso’s use of “marvellous”, to which he ascribes a trascendental meaning. After a brief consideration of the marvellous as it appears in Galileo’s works, thanks to the surprises of new discoveries in astronomy, the essay presents the use of the marvellous in Baroc poetry, according to Marino, who theorizes on poetic wit, and in Baroque prose, according to Tesauro, who theorizes on wit in prose writing. Finally, it discusses the use of “marvellous” in Basile’s fairy tales, where the marvellous is totally detached from a supernatural meaning and becomes only a functional part of the narrative process.

description: Two dimensional gauge theories with charged matter fields are useful toy models for studying gauge theory dynamics, and in particular for studying the duality of large $N$ gauge theories to perturbative string theories. A useful starting point for such studies is the pure Yang-Mills theory, which is exactly solvable. Its $1/N$ expansion was interpreted as a string theory by Gross and Taylor 30 years ago, but they did not provide a worldsheet action for this string theory, and such an action is useful for coupling it to matter fields. The chiral sector of the Yang-Mills theory can be written as a sum over holomorphic maps and has useful worldsheet descriptions, but the full theory includes more general extremal-area maps; a formal worldsheet action including all these maps in a "topological rigid string theory" was written by Hořava many years ago, but various subtleties arise when trying to use it for computations. In this paper we suggest a Polyakov-like generalization of Hořava's worldsheet action which is well-defined, and we show how it reproduces the free limit of the Yang-Mills theory, both by formal arguments and by explicitly computing its partition function in several cases. In the future we plan to generalize this string theory to the finite-coupling gauge theory, and to analyze it with boundaries, corresponding either to Wilson loops or to dynamical matter fields in the fundamental representation.

description: An excess in the branching fraction for $B^+ \to K^+ νν$ recently measured at Belle II may be a hint of new physics. We perform thorough likelihood analyses for different new physics scenarios such as $B \to KX$ with a new invisible particle $X$, or $B\to Kχχ$ through a scalar, vector, or tensor current with $χ$ being a new invisible particle or a neutrino. We find that vector-current 3-body decay with $m_X \simeq 0.6$ GeV - which may be dark matter - is most favored, while 2-body decay with $m_X \simeq 2$ GeV is also competitive. The best-fit branching fractions for the scalar and tensor cases are a few times larger than for the 2-body and vector cases. Past BaBar measurements provide further discrimination, although the best-fit parameters stay similar.

description: We study the mass spectra of hidden-charm tetraquark systems with quantum numbers $(I^G)J^P=(1^+)1^+$ using QCD sum rules. The analysis incorporates the complete next-to-leading order (NLO) contribution to the perturbative QCD part of the operator product expansions, with particular attention to operator mixing effects due to renormalization group evolution. For the $\bar{d}c\bar{c}u$ system, the masses of two mixed operators, $J_{1,5}^{\text{Mixed}}$ and $J_{2,6}^{\text{Mixed}}$, are determined to be $3.89^{+0.18}_{-0.12}$ GeV and $4.03^{+0.06}_{-0.07}$ GeV, respectively, closely matching those of $Z_c$(3900) and $Z_c(4020)$. Similarly, for the $\bar{s}c\bar{c}u$ states, the masses of $J_{1,5}^{\text{Mixed}}$ and $J_{2,6}^{\text{Mixed}}$ are found to be $4.02^{+0.17}_{-0.09}$ GeV and $4.21^{+0.08}_{-0.07}$ GeV, respectively, in close proximity to $Z_{cs}$(3983)/$Z_{cs}$(4000) and $Z_{cs}$(4220), consistent with the expectation that they are the partners of $Z_c$(3900) and $Z_c$(4020). Our results highlight the crucial role of operator mixing, an inevitable effect in a complete NLO calculation, in achieving a robust phenomenological description for the tetraquark system.

description: According to a middle and north European tradition, the cadaver of a murdered person would start bleeding in the presence of his or her assassin: “Therefore, when you create a contact between the breath of the murderer and the spirit that has remained in the blood of the murdered, the blood boils and rages [ebullit effervescitque sanguis]”. Reading such accounts, one may be struck by their similarities to the chronicles of the so-called “miracle of saint Januarius” in Naples, in which the verbs ebullire and effervescere were usually used to describe the behaviour of the blood of the martyr in the presence of his own head. In my paper, similarities and differences between the two ritual phenomena will be used as a litmus test to shed light on the relationships between the natural, the preternatural and the supernatural in the different early modern European cultural contexts. In other words, I will try to ascertain to what extent knowledge of what nature can or cannot do has been culturally (religiously, ethnographically, juridically etc.) determined or at least influenced.

description: A major challenge for Tax Law is to balance the tax base protection (power to tax) with the protection of the taxpayers (human rights). There is no consensus on what are these safeguards, although many countries adopt a charter of taxpayers’ rights. Often, these protections are limited to a formal protection of the rule of law and do not relate to substantive guarantees defended by contemporary constitutionalism (human dignity, fair taxation, ability to pay, social function of property, among others). Discretion is inevitable in Tax Law due to the nature of legal reasoning and language, and it is part of this debate. It cannot be eliminated but may be limited by adequate taxpayers’ safeguards, such as the due process of law, disclosure of information, fair trials, uniform and symmetrical treatment, and a law enforcement that promotes substantive liberties.

description: The circularly polarized photogalvanic effect (CPGE) is studied in chiral Weyl semimetals with short-ranged quenched disorder. Without disorder, the topological properties of chiral Weyl semimetals lead to the quantization of the CPGE, which is a second-order optical response. Using a combination of diagrammatic perturbation theory in the continuum and exact numerical calculations via the kernel polynomial method on a lattice model we show that disorder perturbatively destabilizes the quantization of the CPGE.

Subjects: Giambattista Vico; René Descartes; Voltaire; Wonder; Difference; Astonishment; Dulling.

description: The purpose of this article is to investigate the concept of wonder starting from Vico. Vico's reflection is taken as an example because it belongs to a line of thought that re-evaluates passions and in particular the passion of the wonder. Vico is also part of the tradition that from Plato and Aristotle onwards saw wonder as the starting point of philosophy. Vico even sees in it the origin of the human being: the inaugural moment in which the difference between the beast and man is established. Vico also connects wonder with ignorance. Therefore, a hypothesis can be configured: wonder could be understood as difference, as that lack (absence) of knowledge, that original emptiness from which everything can arise.

description: Exposure to particulate matter (PM) from traffic vehicles is hazardous to the vascular system, leading to clinical manifestations and mortality due to ischemic heart disease. By analogy, nanomaterials may also be associated with the same outcomes. Here, the effects of exposure to PM from ambient air, diesel exhaust and certain nanomaterials on atherosclerosis and vasomotor function in animals have been assessed. The majority of studies have used pulmonary exposure by inhalation or instillation, although there are some studies on non-pulmonary routes such as the gastrointestinal tract. Airway exposure to air pollution particles and nanomaterials is associated with similar effects on atherosclerosis progression, augmented vasoconstriction and blunted vasorelaxation responses in arteries, whereas exposure to diesel exhaust is associated with lower responses. At present, there is no convincing evidence of dose-dependent effects across studies. Oxidative stress and inflammation have been observed in the arterial wall of PM-exposed animals with vasomotor dysfunction or plaque progression. From the data, it is evident that pulmonary and systemic inflammation does not seem to be necessary for these vascular effects to occur. Furthermore, there is inconsistent evidence with regard to altered plasma lipid profile and systemic inflammation as a key step in vasomotor dysfunction and progression of atherosclerosis in PM-exposed animals. In summary, the results show that certain nanomaterials, including TiO2, carbon black and carbon nanotubes, have similar hazards to the vascular system as combustion-derived PM.

description: Objective: To quantify and compare hospital length of stay (LOS) and costs between hospitalized non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients treated with either apixaban or warfarin via a large claims database. Methods: Adult patients hospitalized with AF were selected from the Premier Perspective Claims Database (01JAN2013-31MARCH2014). Patients with evidence of valvular heart disease, valve replacement procedures, or pregnancy during the index hospitalization were excluded. Patients treated with apixaban or warfarin during hospitalization were identified. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to control for baseline imbalances between patients treated with apixaban or warfarin. Primary outcomes were hospital LOS (days), post-medication administration LOS, and index hospitalization costs, and were compared using paired t-tests in the matched sample. Results: Before PSM, 2894 apixaban and 124,174 warfarin patients were identified. Patients treated with warfarin were older and sicker compared to those treated with apixaban. After applying PSM, a total of 2886 patients were included in each cohort, and baseline characteristics were balanced. The mean (standard deviation [SD] and median) hospital LOS was significantly (p = 0.002) shorter for patients treated with apixaban for 5.1 days (5.7 and 3) compared to warfarin for 5.5 days (4.8 and 4). The trend appeared consistent in the hospital LOS from point of apixaban or warfarin administration to discharge (4.5 vs 4.7 days, p = 0.051). Patients administered apixaban incurred significantly lower hospitalization costs compared to those administered warfarin ($11,262 vs $12,883; p Conclusions: Among NVAF patients, apixaban treatment was associated with significantly shorter hospital LOS and lower costs when compared to warfarin treatment.

Consistent with this device, combined with the art. 5, item LXXIII, the CRFB, is that widened the trusteeship object of class action adding to environmental protection, then getting recepcionada Law No. 7,417, of June 29, 1965 (Popular Action Law). The central problem addressed in the article is to understand the relationship between the duty of the community to preserve the environment with the procedural mechanism of the class action. The overall objective of the research is to demonstrate that the class action is an instrument available to citizens to tutelarem the environment, in order to ensure democratic state. To achieve this aim, a qualitative research was used, with deductive method and documentary research technique, which were consulted books and articles available in physical or electronic means. In the end, it was concluded that the citizen, as a political subject, and endowed with active autonomy, must participate in the democratic procedures, including the courts of a community, to safeguard the environment.

ADAM SMITH E LA MERAVIGLIA DELLA SCOPERTA
Creators: name: ZANARDI, PAOLA
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Scienze Umane, Università di Ferrara
Year: 2020
Subjects: Skepticism; Wonder; History of Science; Research Method; Analogy.

description: This essay starts from the analysis of a youthful work by Adam Smith, The Principles which lead and direct philosophical Inquiries; illustrated by the History of Astronomy (1795), recently returned to the center of interest of the studios of the Scottish scholar of Kirkcaldy, for the attention placed by the author not so much on the reconstruction of astronomical systems from antiquity to Newton, as for the role attributed to the feeling of wonder in accelerating the development of science and human progress.

MERAVIGLIARSI DI SÉ: DALL’IMBARAZZO DI FRONTE AL MONDO ALL’AMMIRAZIONE PER L’UMANITÀ
Creators: name: FELOJ, SERENA
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Scienze Umane, Università di Ferrara
Year: 2020
Subjects: Astonishment; Admiration; Dialectic; Sublime; Humanity.

description: In Kant’s philosophy, astonishment is to be meant as a state of mind of embarrassment in front of the empirical world. This emotional condition contains intrinsically an element of displeasure. In this perspective, Kant defines a particular kind of astonishment, that has not an epistemic function but a moral dimension, i.e. the admiration for the humanity in us. It is then only through an aesthetic gaze on the world that we can be astonished by it and at the same time we can direct the same gaze toward ourselves and to have a feeling of admiration for the humanity in us. This is actually the experience of the sublime.

LA MERAVIGLIA COME DISPOSITIVO ESTETICO
Creators: name: GATTI, ANDREA
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Scienze Umane, Università di Ferrara
Year: 2020
Subjects: Philosophy of Wonder; Aesthetics of Wonder; Contemporary Aesthetics.

description: It has long been said that philosophy begins with wonder; more truly, this feeling seems to be at the origin of our aesthetic appreciation; however, to what extent wonder should be acknowledged as preliminary, central or marginal with respect to aesthetic pleasure is something that must be evaluated especially considering the experiences generated by the art of the so-called avant-garde, whose aesthetics seems to coincide precisely with the intent of arousing a sense of wonder (and shock) in the spectator. This essay aims to show the modality in which the feeling of wonder can be a source of aesthetic pleasure. It also addresses an analysis of the theories advanced on this topic by modern and contemporary philosophers.

LA CONCEZIONE DELLA SCIENZA NELLA FILOSOFIA DI GIAMBATTISTA VICO
Creators: name: GUALTIERI, GAETANO ANTONIO
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Scienze Umane, Università di Ferrara
Year: 2020
Subjects: Science; Reason; Fantasy; Humanity; Myth.

description: This essay has the purpose to give the right location to Giambattista Vico’s thought inside modern science. Understimated by a lot of scholars, Vico’s contribution to modern science is dealt with here by starting from the early phase in which the Neapolitan philosopher elaborated the principle of verum ipsum factum. In this essay, in fact, the author emphasizes a route based on various steps, each of which delineating the development of Vico’s thought that aimed to show an idea of science focused on man and the society he belongs to.

description: Background: The Pediatrics Milestones Assessment Pilot employed a new multisource feedback (MSF) instrument to assess nine Pediatrics Milestones among interns and subinterns in the inpatient context. Objective: To report validity evidence for the MSF tool for informing milestone classification decisions. Methods: We obtained MSF instruments by different raters per learner per rotation. We present evidence for validity based on the unified validity framework. Results: One hundred and ninety two interns and 41 subinterns at 18 Pediatrics residency programs received a total of 1084 MSF forms from faculty (40%), senior residents (34%), nurses (22%), and other staff (4%). Variance in ratings was associated primarily with rater (32%) and learner (22%). The milestone factor structure fit data better than simpler structures. In domains except professionalism, ratings by nurses were significantly lower than those by faculty and ratings by other staff were significantly higher. Ratings were higher when the rater observed the learner for longer periods and had a positive global opinion of the learner. Ratings of interns and subinterns did not differ, except for ratings by senior residents. MSF-based scales correlated with summative milestone scores. Conclusion: We obtain moderately reliable MSF ratings of interns and subinterns in the inpatient context to inform some milestone assignments.

TRA LEGGE E DESIDERIO. L’ANTI-ADAMO DI DELEUZE
Creators: name: DI BIASE, ANDREA
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Scienze Umane, Università di Ferrara
Year: 2020
Subjects: Institution; Plane of Immanence; State of Nature; Symbolic Representation; Theory of Law.

description: Deleuze’s notion of law is often developed within an analysis of Spinoza’s exposition of the Original sin. Adam interprets the God’s prohibition (concerning a negative effect of a bodily link) as a moral law determining his desiring-action. Following the binary logic of differentiation, he appeals to an erroneous dialectical potency of transformation of content into expression. It is an act of a flow marking an over-coding by resonance organizations: a transcendent signifier distributing effects of meaning and introducing exclusions. However, the law’s purpose (what Deleuze calls institution) is not to assign guilts, but simply to enable micropower relations. It implies a constellation of juxtaposed subsystems. There is thus no opposition between central and outer organizations. Political system is a global whole, a collective mechanism unified and unifying. It brings to light all kinds of partial processes, but not without gaps and displacements.

ARTIFICIALITÀ NATURALE
Creators: name: RASINI, VALLORI
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Scienze Umane, Università di Ferrara
Year: 2020
Subjects: Philosophical anthropology, Nature, Culture, Scheler, Gehlen, Plessner.

description: During the twentieth century, philosophical anthropology focused on the connection between the natural and cultural dimensions in human being, so much so that one can speak, with regard to man, of "natural artificiality". This paper addresses the analysis of the different interpretations of this concept in Gehlen's (and Scheler's) thought and in Plessner's anthropology. Gehlen considers man's "biological deficiency" the condition of an absolute and full "opening to the world" and the transformation of man into a total "artificial being". On the contrary, Plessner claims that man still remains a natural being, since his culture is intertwined with nature and his artificiality conditioned through his own nature.

BLUMENBERG: METAFORA E “INCONCETTUALITÀ”
Creators: name: D'ACUNTO, GIUSEPPE
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Scienze Umane, Università di Ferrara
Year: 2020
Subjects: Metaphor; Symbol; Concept; World of Life; Reflexivity.

description: This essay outlines Blumenberg’s work on the nature of metaphor from the first text published during his life, Paradigms of a metaphorology (1960), up to one of those that came out after his death, Theory of inconceptualism. This paper shows that it is not enough to study the performance of a metaphor in the formation of concepts, but, taking it as a thread in perspective of a regression to the "world of life", it is also necessary to frame it in the broader horizon of a theory of inconceptualism. The metaphors would not be, therefore, provisional pre-logical structures destined to be afterwards substituted by clear and distinct ideas, but polysemic configurations that enrich the language, enhance its heuristic function and form the basis on which the tendency to univocity of the concepts will later develop.

description: Our objective was to review the evidence for using technology to improve access to specialist care for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and their carers. Medline, Google Scholar and the Cochrane library were searched for articles describing technology that enabled clinical care of patients with ALS or their carers where the patient/carer and clinician were not in the same location. Two applications were identified: telemedicine to facilitate video conferencing as an alternative to outpatient consultations and telehealth monitoring for patients with respiratory failure. One randomized controlled trial using telehealth in patients with respiratory failure including 22 patients with ALS was identified. While rates of hospitalization were reduced, overall mortality was unchanged and there were too few patients with ALS in the study to detect significant benefit. In conclusion, there is limited evidence to support the use of telemedicine or telehealth in the care of patients with ALS. Future research needs to develop an understanding of the key beneficial aspects of the traditional specialist ALS service and how these factors could be delivered using technology. Successful evaluation and implementation of technologies to facilitate access to specialist care will only be possible if all the relevant impacts of an intervention are understood and measured.
