description: Using the Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch (LLB) equation for ferromagnetic materials, we derive analytic expressions for temperature dependent absorption spectra as probed by ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). By analysing the resulting expressions, we can predict the variation of the resonance frequency and damping with temperature and coupling to the thermal bath. We base our calculations on the technologically relevant L1$_0$ FePt, parameterised from atomistic spin dynamics simulations, with the Hamiltonian mapped from ab-initio parameters. By constructing a multi-macrospin model based on the LLB equation and exploiting GPU acceleration we extend the study to investigate the effects on the damping and resonance frequency in $μ$m sized structures.

description: A Banach involutive algebra is called a Krein C*-algebra if there is a fundamental symmetry (an involutive automorphism of period 2) such that the C*-property is satisfied when the original involution is replaced with the new one obtained by composing the automorphism with the old involution. For a given fundamental symmetry, a Krein C*-algebra decomposes as a direct sum of an even part (a C*-algebra) and an odd part (a Hilbert C*-bimodule on the even part). Our goal here is to develop a spectral theory for commutative unital Krein C*-algebras when the odd part is a symmetric imprimitivity C*-bimodule over the even part and there exists an additional suitable "exchange symmetry" between the odd and even parts.

description: Ce mémoire professionnel a été mené dans le cadre de notre formation à la Haute école pédagogique du canton de Vaud. Notre dispositif des discussions philosophiques a été réalisé simultanément dans deux cycles différents, à savoir une classe de 4H et une classe de 7H. L’objectif est de déterminer en quoi la discussion philosophique est un lieu d’élaboration de la pensée et de développement du langage. Le thème du genre a été sélectionné pour deux raisons ; son lien fort avec les capacités transversales (se libérer des préjugés et des stéréotypes) et la comparaison des représentations d’élèves sur le genre. Dans un premier temps, notre méthode de travail a consisté à décrire, dans le cadre théorique, la langue orale et ses enjeux dans notre dispositif, les pratiques philosophiques à l’école primaire, les capacités transversales concernées ainsi que les enjeux autour du genre. Dans un deuxième temps, nous avons testé notre dispositif de discussions philosophiques en classe, avec la présence d’un pré-test sur le genre, la mise en oeuvre du dispositif, puis un post-test à nouveau sur le genre. Enfin, nous avons procédé à l’analyse du dispositif à l’aide des transcriptions des discussions afin de constater ce qu’apporte une mise en œuvre régulière du dispositif. Nous nous sommes particulièrement centrées sur l’analyse des habiletés de parler et de pensée. Les résultats de la recherche démontrent que la mise en place de ce dispositif permet de travailler chez les élèves la langue orale, notamment en observant la posture énonciative pour favoriser l’abstraction, la complexité d’énoncés et la prise en compte de la parole de l’autre. Pour les capacités transversales, elles permettent aux élèves de se libérer des stéréotypes et d’élaborer une opinion personnelle si les élèves ont des avis variés, ainsi qu’à être ouvert à ces avis. Le dispositif travaille aussi la circulation de l’information

description: Dans le contexte de l’Anthropocène, les projets ancrés dans la thématique de la durabilité se multiplient. Parmi eux, l’hepisèmerie, une nouvelle association étudiante implantée sur le site de la Haute Ecole Pédagogique du canton de Vaud (HEP). Destinée principalement à la population estudiantine cantonale, cette épicerie solidaire lutte contre le gaspillage alimentaire, tout en promouvant une agriculture locale et biologique. Ce mémoire propose d’explorer les différents types de compétences développées dans le cadre de ce projet associatif, selon le degré d’implication des bénévoles. Il traite aussi du réinvestissement de ces compétences dans des sphères autres qu’associative (personnelle, professionnelle), en s’intéressant particulièrement aux répercussions sur les pratiques enseignantes et aux liens avec la durabilité et l’éducation en vue du développement durable (EDD). Les résultats de notre étude indiquent que des compétences d’ordre cognitif, technique (hard skills) et social (soft skills) sont développées, mais que les soft skills sont davantage perçues par les personnes externes au projet et par les membres les plus impliquées au sein de l’hepisèmerie. Nous identifions comme source de ce constat l’absence d’occasions réflexives dédiées à convertir les expériences des bénévoles en compétences. Par ailleurs, les compétences liées à l’EDD ont été opacifiées par l’aspect pragmatique de l’association et devraient être davantage considérées et mises en lumière par la suite.

description: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common chronic disorder seen in gastroenterology and primary care practice. It is characterized by recurrent abdominal pain or discomfort associated with disturbed bowel function. It is a heterogeneous disorder with varying treatments, and in this regard physicians sometimes struggle with finding the optimal approach to management of patients with IBS. This disorder induces high health care costs and variably reduces health-related quality of life. IBS is in the class of functional gastrointestinal disorders, and results from dysregulation of central and enteric nervous system interactions. Psychosocial factors are closely related to their gut physiology, associated cognitions, symptom manifestations and illness behavior. Therefore, it is important for the physician to recognize the psychosocial issues of patients with IBS and in addition to build a good patient-physician relationship in order to optimize treatment. This review focuses on the interaction between psychological and physiological factors associated with IBS by using a biopsychosocial model. In this article, we describe (1) the predisposing psychological features seen in early life; (2) the psychological factors associated with life stress, the symptom presentation, and their associated coping patterns; (3) gut pathophysiology with emphasis on disturbances in motility, visceral hypersensitivity and brain-gut interactions; and finally (4) the clinical outcomes and effective treatments including psychotherapeutic methods.

Der Legende nach entstand er im Zwangsarbeits- und Durchgangslager Janowska in Lemberg/Lviv, der damaligen Hauptstadt Galiziens, das nach dem Überfall des Hitler-Regimes auf die Sowjetunion am 22. Juni 1941 unter deutsche Besatzung geriet. In einer Bildanalyse führt Dietz aus, dass wesentliche Inhalte, die Rückschlüsse (oder Zweifel) über den Ort der Aufnahme erlauben, im bisherigen Diskurs übergangen wurden. In diesem Zusammenhang wird die Frage zu diskutieren sein, ob die Aufnahme wirklich das Orchester des Janowska-Lagers oder möglicherweise das Orchester des Lemberger Ghettos zeigt.

description: Background/AimsFunctional gastrointestinal disorders are those in which no abnormal metabolic or physical processes, which can account for the symptoms, can be identified. The irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a significant functional disorder, which affects 10-20 percent of the population worldwide. Predominant symptoms of IBS are abnormal defecation associated with abdominal pain, both of which may be exacerbated by psychogenic stress. Our study was designed to test a hypothesis that symptoms in a subset of patients with a diagnosis of IBS are associated with an autoimmune degenerative neuropathy in the enteric nervous system.MethodsSerum was collected from Rome II-IBS patients and controls at the University of North Carolina Functional Gastrointestinal Diseases Center. Assay procedures were immunohistochemical localization of antibody binding to enteric neurons and human protein microarray assay for antigens recognized by antibodies in the sera.ResultsEighty-seven percent of IBS sera and 59% of control sera contained anti-enteric neuronal antibodies. Antibody immunostaining was seen in the nucleus and cytoplasm of neurons in the enteric nervous system. Protein microarray analysis detected antibody reactivity for autoantigens in serum with anti-enteric neuronal antibodies and no reactivity for the same autoantigens in samples not containing anti-enteric neuronal antibodies in our immunostaining assay. Antibodies in sera from IBS patients recognized only 3 antigens out of an 8,000 immunoprotein array. The 3 antigens were: (1) a nondescript ribonucleoprotein (RNP-complex); (2) small nuclear ribonuclear polypeptide A; and (3) Ro-5,200 kDa.ConclusionsResults of the present study suggest that symptoms in a subset of IBS patients might be a reflection of enteric neuronal damage or loss, caused by circulating anti-enteric autoimmune antibodies.

Creators: name: Gambetti , Francesca
Publisher: name: Roma Tre-Press
Year: 2012

description: Per lungo tempo gli studiosi hanno sostenuto che Parmenide non fosse interessato alla cosmologia perché a) nei versi che abbiamo non c'è un uso tecnico del termine kosmos, b) la tradizione antica non ha preservato parti del poema con un contenuto di questo tipo, e c) un'indagine cosmologica avrebbe contraddetto il monismo ontologico generalmente ascrittogli. Il recente apprezzamento di Aëtius come fonte, ci consente 1) di ricostruire la cosmologia di Parmenide, 2) di collocare colui che secondo Aristotele era un "presocratico atipico" nello specifico contesto culturale del passaggio dalla poesia teogonica al sorgere dell'indagine scientifica della natura, 3) di far emergere l'originalità della posizione parmenidea, che mette il logos al principio della verità.

description: Far infrared(FIR) data on the optical properties of graphite are presently lacking. An important step towards filling this gap was taken by Kuzmenko et al. (2008) who measured, on HOPG (Highly Oriented Pyrolitic Graphite) at normal incidence and from 10 to 300 K, the in-plane dielectric functions from 0.3 to 200 mum, and the reflectance between 0.3 and about 300 mum. We show here how, using recent developments of the electron theory of graphene, extended to graphite, it is possible to properly extrapolate the data farther even than 1000 mum, in effect all the way to Direct Current. The plasma frequency as well as the scattering rate of free electrons are shown to both decrease with T, but level off near 0 K, in agreement with theory. Along the way, we noticed significant discrepancies with the well-known and often used derivation of Philipp (1977) at room temperature, and also with previous data on temperature dependence and absorbance of graphitic material samples in different physical forms. Possible reasons for these discrepancies are discussed. Finally, the absorption efficiency of small graphitic spheres is deduced for the spectral range from 0.3 to 10000 mum. This may contribute to the discussion on model dust candidates for recently observed astronomical far infrared emissions.

description: Background/AimsThe development-processes by regional socio-cultural adaptation of an Enhanced Asian Rome III questionnaire (EAR3Q), a cultural adaptation of the Rome III diagnostic questionnaire (R3DQ), and its translation-validation in Asian languages are presented. As English is not the first language for most Asians, translation-validation of EAR3Q is essential. Hence, we aimed to culturally adapt the R3DQ to develop EAR3Q and linguistically validate it to show that the EAR3Q is able to allocate diagnosis according to Rome III criteria.MethodsAfter EAR3Q was developed by Asian experts by consensus, it was translated into Chinese, Hindi-Telugu, Indonesian, Korean, and Thai, following Rome Foundation guidelines; these were then validated on native subjects (healthy [n = 60], and patients with irritable bowel syndrome [n = 59], functional dyspepsia [n = 53] and functional constipation [n = 61]) diagnosed by clinicians using Rome III criteria, negative alarm features and investigations.ResultsExperts noted words for constipation, bloating, fullness and heartburn, posed difficulty. The English back-translated questionnaires demonstrated concordance with the original EAR3Q. Sensitivity and specificity of the questionnaires were high enough to diagnose respective functional gastrointestinal disorders (gold standard: clinical diagnoses) in most except Korean and Indonesian languages. Questionnaires often uncovered overlapping functional gastrointestinal disorders. Test-retest agreement (kappa) values of the translated questionnaires were high (0.700–1.000) except in Korean (0.300–0.500) and Indonesian (0.100–0.400) languages at the initial and 2-week follow-up visit.ConclusionsThough Chinese, Hindi and Telugu translations were performed well, Korean and Indonesian versions were not. Questionnaires often uncovered overlapping FGIDs, which were quite common.

description: Lumen development is a crucial phase in tubulogenesis, although its molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. In this study, we discovered an ELMO domain-containing 3 (ELMOD3), which belongs to ADP-ribosylation factor GTPase-activating protein family was necessary to form the notochord lumen in Ciona larvae. We demonstrated that ELMOD3 interacted with lipid raft protein Flotillin2 and regulated its subcellular localization. The loss-of-function of Flotillin2 prevented notochord lumen formation. Furthermore, we found that ELMOD3 also interacted with Rab1A, which is the regulatory GTPase for vesicle trafficking and located at the notochord cell surface. Rab1A mutations arrested the lumen formation, phenocopying the loss-of-function of ELMOD3 and Flotillin2. Our findings further suggested that Rab1A interactions influenced Flotillin2 localization. We thus identified a unique pathway, in which ELMOD3 interacted with Rab1A, which controlled the Flotillin2-mediated vesicle trafficking from cytoplasm to apical membrane, required for Ciona notochord lumen formation.

description: Invasion of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) into the central and peripheral nervous system produces a wide range of neurological symptoms, which continue to persist even with adequate therapeutic suppression of the systemic viremia. The development of therapies designed to prevent the neurological complications of HIV require a detailed understanding of the mechanisms of virus penetration into the nervous system, infection, and subsequent neuropathogenesis. These processes, however, are difficult to study in humans. The identification of animal lentiviruses similar to HIV has provided useful models of HIV infection that have greatly facilitated these efforts. This review summarizes contributions made from in vitro and in vivo studies on the infectious and pathological interactions of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) with the nervous system. In vivo studies on FIV have provided insights into the natural progression of CNS disease as well as the contribution of various risk factors. In vitro studies have contributed to our understanding of immune cell trafficking, CNS infection and neuropathogenesis. Together, these studies have made unique contributions to our understanding of (1) lentiviral interactions at the blood–cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier within the choroid plexus, (2) early FIV invasion and pathogenesis in the brain, and (3) lentiviral effects on intracellular calcium deregulation and neuronal dysfunction. The ability to combine in vitro and in vivo studies on FIV offers enormous potential to explore neuropathogenic mechanisms and generate information necessary for the development of effective therapeutic interventions.

description: In this study, the characteristics of nickel thin film deposited by remote plasma atomic layer deposition (RPALD) on p-type Si substrate and formation of nickel silicide using rapid thermal annealing were determined. Bis(1,4-di-isopropyl-1,3-diazabutadienyl)nickel, Ni(iPr-DAD)2, was used as a Ni precursor and ammonia plasma was used as a reactant. This was the first attempt to deposit Ni thin film using Ni(iPr-DAD)2 as a precursor for the ALD process. The RPALD Ni film was deposited with a growth rate of around 2.2Å/cycle at 250 °C and showed significant low resistivity of 33 μΩcm with a total impurity concentration of around 10 at. %.The impurities of the thin film, carbon and nitrogen, were existent by the forms of C-C and C-N in a bonding state. The impurities removal tendency was investigated by comparing of experimental conditions, namely process temperature and pressure. Nitrogen impurity was removed by thermal desorption during each ALD cycle and carbon impurity was reduced by the optimizing of the process pressure which is directly related with a mean free path of NH3 plasma. After Ni deposition, nickel silicide was formed by RTA in a vacuum ambient for 1 minute. A nickel silicide layer from ALD Ni and PVD Ni was compared at the annealing temperature from 500 to 900 °C. NiSi from ALD Ni showed better thermal stability due to the contribution of small amounts of carbon and nitrogen in the asdeposited Ni thin film. Degradation of the silicide layer was effectively suppressed with a use of ALD Ni.

description: Advances in the last several years have enhanced mechanistic understanding of Nef induced CD4 and MHCI downregulation and have suggested a new paradigm for analyzing Nef function. In both of these cases, Nef acts by forming ternary complexes with significant contributions to stability imparted by non-canonical interactions. The mutational analyses and binding assays that have led to these conclusions are discussed. The recent progress has been dependent on conservative mutations and multi-protein binding assays. The poorly understood Nef functions of p21 activated protein kinase (PAK2) activation, enhancement of virion infectivity, and inhibition of immunoglobulin class switching are also likely to involve ternary complexes and non-canonical interactions. Hence, investigation of these latter Nef functions should benefit from a similar approach.

description: Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection like human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), produces systemic and central nervous system disease in its natural host, the domestic cat, that parallels the pathogenesis seen in HIV-infected humans. The ability to culture feline nervous system tissue affords the unique opportunity to directly examine interactions of infectious virus with CNS cells for the development of models and treatments that can then be translated to a natural infectious model. To explore the therapeutic potential of a new p75 neurotrophin receptor ligand, LM11A-31, we evaluated neuronal survival, neuronal damage and calcium homeostasis in cultured feline neurons following inoculation with FIV. FIV resulted in the gradual appearance of dendritic beading, pruning of processes and shrinkage of neuronal perikarya in the neurons. Astrocytes developed a more activated appearance and there was an enhanced accumulation of microglia, particularly at longer times post-inoculation. Addition of 10 nM LM11A-31, to the cultures greatly reduced or eliminated the neuronal pathology as well as the FIV effects on astrocytes and microglia. LM11A-31 also, prevented the development of delayed calcium deregulation in feline neurons exposed to conditioned medium from FIV treated macrophages. The suppression of calcium accumulation prevented the development of foci of calcium accumulation and beading in the dendrites. FIV replication was unaffected by LM11A-31. The strong neuroprotection afforded by LM11A-31 in an infectious in vitro model indicates that LM11A-31 may have excellent potential for the treatment of HIV-associated neurodegeneration.

description: We use direct $N$-body calculations to investigate the impact of primordial mass segregation on the size scale and mass-loss rate of star clusters in a galactic tidal field. We run a set of simulations of clusters with varying degrees of primordial mass segregation at various galactocentric radii and show that, in primordially segregated clusters, the early, impulsive mass-loss from stellar evolution of the most massive stars in the innermost regions of the cluster leads to a stronger expansion than for initially non-segregated clusters. Therefore, models in stronger tidal fields dissolve faster due to an enhanced flux of stars over the tidal boundary. Throughout their lifetimes, the segregated clusters are more extended by a factor of about 2, suggesting that (at least) some of the very extended globular clusters in the outer halo of the Milky Way may have been born with primordial mass segregation. We finally derive a relation between star-cluster dissolution time, $T_{diss}$, and galactocentric radius, $R_G$, and show how it depends on the degree of primordial mass segregation.

description: Da decenni le diseguaglianze sono oggetto di interesse e studio da parte degli economisti a causa delle forti implicazioni etiche e in termini di politiche pubbliche per l’intera società. Infatti, c’è un ampio consenso che vivere in una società più egualitaria porti a migliori risultati sociali. Ma, dall’altro lato, riguardo le diseguaglianza che si generano all’interno del mercato del lavoro ci sono pareri discordanti rispetto alla possibilità di un intervento pubblico nelle economie di mercato contemporanee. A rendere questa dimensione ancora più sfaccettata, in relazione alle diseguaglianze economiche c’è la crescente evidenza riguardo l’esistenza di un gradiente socioeconomico riguardante la salute degli individui. Invero, gli economisti hanno ampiamente analizzato la relazione biunivoca tra reddito e salute e provato a identificare i principali meccanismi di trasmissione. La maggior parte dell’evidenza a riguardo si riferisce a studi di tipo descrittivo o analisi “alla media”. Con lo scopo di fornire evidenza causale a contribuire a questa crescente letteratura, questa tesi analizza gli aspetti distribuzionali del reddito, focalizzandosi sulla coda alta della distribuzione e in particolare su quegli individui che ottengono redditi elevatissimi nel mercato del lavoro: i cosiddetti “working super-rich”. Inoltre, investiga l’esistenza di un gradiente socioeconomico nella salute, sia nella coda alta della distribuzione che nel resto di essa. .. [a cura dell'Autore]
description: Inequalities have been the subject of keen economic interest due to ethical and policy implications for the society. In fact, there is wide agreement about the fact that living in a more egalitarian society leads to better social outcomes. However, on the other side, since most of the inequality is generated within the labour market there are discording opinions about the possibility of public intervention in the contemporary market economies. To make this picture even more multifaceted, related to economic inequality there is overwhelming evidence on the socioeconomic gradient in health. Indeed, economists have deeply investigated the two-way relationships between income and health and tried to disentangle the main mechanisms of transmissions. However, most of the findings rely on descriptive studies or analysis “at the mean”. With the aim of providing causal evidence and contributing to this long-standing strand of literature, this thesis analyses distributional aspect of income, focusing on the top tail of income distribution and in particular on those individuals who get high earnings in the labour market: the socalled working super-rich. Moreover, it investigates the socioeconomic gradient in health both in the top tails and in the rest of the distribution. .. [edited by Author]

description: Despite the availability of combination antiretroviral therapy, at least mild cognitive dysfunction is commonly observed in HIV-infected patients, with an estimated prevalence of 35-70%. Neuropsychological studies of these HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) have documented aberrations across a broad range of functional domains, although the basic pathophysiology remains unresolved. Some of the most common findings have been deficits in fine motor control and reduced psychomotor speed, but to date no neuroimaging studies have evaluated basic motor control in HAND. In this study, we used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to evaluate the neurophysiological processes that underlie motor planning in older HIV-infected adults and a matched, uninfected control group. MEG is a noninvasive and direct measure of neural activity with good spatiotemporal precision. During the MEG recording, participants fixated on a central crosshair and performed a finger-tapping task with the dominant hand. All MEG data was corrected for head movements, preprocessed, and imaged in the time-frequency domain using beamforming methodology. All analyses focused on the pre-movement beta desynchronization, which is known to be an index of movement planning. Our results demonstrated that HIV-1-infected patients have deficient beta desynchronization relative to controls within the left/right precentral gyri, and the supplementary motor area. In contrast, HIV-infected persons showed abnormally strong beta responses compared to controls in the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and medial prefrontal areas. In addition, the amplitude of beta activity in the primary and supplementary motor areas correlated with scores on the Grooved Pegboard test in HIV-infected adults. These results demonstrate that primary motor and sensory regions may be particularly vulnerable to HIV-associated damage, and that prefrontal cortices may serve a compensatory role in maintaining motor performance levels in infected patients.
