Auxiliaries and Verb Classes in Child Italian: A Syntactic Analysis of the Development of Aspect
Creators: name: Lorusso, Paolo
Publisher: name: Quaderni di Linguistica e Studi Orientali
Year: 2015

description: In this paper we will analyse the production and interpretation of the forms of the present perfect (passato prossimo) in children’s Italian. Young children use past or perfective forms mainly to refer to telic predicates and present or imperfective forms mainly to refer to atelic predicates: the Aspect First Hypothesis (Antonucci and Miller 1976). We will focus on the distribution of auxiliaries in the first forms of the present perfect. First, since in Italian there are two auxiliaries, be for unaccusatives and have for transitives, we will show that be is mastered earlier than have: children properly assign be to unaccusatives which are inherently telic predicates and have to transitives and unergatives which are atelic. Second, we will test the validity of the Aspect First Hypothesis by presenting the results of two experimental tasks: the production and the comprehension of the perfective forms of have with telic and atelic predicates. The results will show that the aktionsart of verbs is relevant to account for the production of early auxiliaries till the age of 5. Furthermore, the perfective reading is not interpreted properly with atelic unergatives till later stages (7 years). We propose that telicity is not matched with the perfective morphology, but the presence of an overt direct object, that measures out the event denoted by the verb, triggers the production of the present perfect in child Italian. The syntax of verb classes influences the early aspectual interpretation.

description: We discuss spectra of gravitational waves which are originated by the strongly first order phase transition at the electroweak symmetry breaking, which is required for a successful scenario of electroweak baryogenesis. Such spectra are numerically evaluated without high temperature expansion in a set of extended scalar sectors with additional N isospin-singlet fields as a concrete example of renormalizable theories. We find that the produced gravitational waves can be significant, so that they are detectable at future gravitational wave interferometers such as DECIGO and BBO. Furthermore, since the spectra strongly depend on N and the mass of the singlet fields, our results indicate that future detailed observation of gravitational waves can be in general a useful probe of extended scalar sectors with the first order phase transition.

description: Given two trace class operators A and B on a separable Hilbert space we provide an upper bound for the Hausdorff distance of their spectra involving only the distance of A and B in operator norm and the singular values of A and B. By specifying particular asymptotics of the singular values our bound reproduces or improves existing bounds for the spectral distance. The proof is based on lower and upper bounds for determinants of trace class operators of independent interest.

Acquiring Romance Causatives: Evidence from Child Italian
Creators: name: Bellucci, Giulia
Publisher: name: Quaderni di Linguistica e Studi Orientali
Year: 2015

description: Romance Faire-Infinitive causatives have been thoroughly investigated in formal generative syntax (Kayne 1975; Burzio 1986; Baker 1988; Folli and Harley 2013, a.o.), conversely, they have scarcely been investigated in the domain of psycholinguistics. This study fills a gap in the acquisition literature since it provides experimental data concerning both the comprehension and the production of Faire-Infinitive causatives by three to six years-old L1 Italian-speaking children. The methodology used is a revised version of the Truth Value Judgement Task (Crain and Thornton 1998). Our data suggest that by age four Italian speaking children accurately comprehend and produce the structure under scrutiny although there is also later development. In the theoretical part of the paper some of the most influential proposals about the syntax of Romance causatives are discussed and a proposal about the status of the causee argument is developed. On the basis of crosslinguistic evidence it is argued that the a-causee is nothing but an oblique “quirky subject”, no different from the oblique subjects found in the ergative alignment of other Indo-European languages such as Kurmanji Kurdish.

The survey was conducted to determine the methods of training used by large academic reference desks in instilling the institutional public service ethic in student assistants. The research indicates that librarians at ARL reference desks who use student assistants are concerned with proper public service training, and that monetary and time constraints have prevented them from developing training in this area to its fullest extent.

description: Macroscopic traffic models are necessary for simulation and study of traffic's complex macro-scale dynamics, and are often used by practitioners for road network planning, integrated corridor management, and other applications. These models have two parts: a link model, which describes traffic flow behavior on individual roads, and a node model, which describes behavior at road junctions. As the road networks under study become larger and more complex --- nowadays often including arterial networks --- the node model becomes more important. This paper focuses on the first order node model and has two main contributions. First, we formalize the multi-commodity flow distribution at a junction as an optimization problem with all the necessary constraints. Most interesting here is the formalization of input flow priorities. Then, we discuss a very common "conservation of turning fractions" or "first-in-first-out" (FIFO) constraint, and how it often produces unrealistic spillback. This spillback occurs when, at a diverge, a queue develops for a movement that only a few lanes service, but FIFO requires that all lanes experience spillback from this queue. As we show, avoiding this unrealistic spillback while retaining FIFO in the node model requires complicated network topologies. Our second contribution is a "partial FIFO" mechanism that avoids this unrealistic spillback, and a node model and solution algorithm that incorporates this mechanism. The partial FIFO mechanism is parameterized through intervals that describe how individual movements influence each other, can be intuitively described from physical lane geometry and turning movement rules, and allows tuning to describe a link as having anything between full FIFO and no FIFO. Excepting the FIFO constraint, the present node model also fits within the well-established "general class of first-order node models" for multi-commodity flows.

description: We analyze the universal properties of a new two-dimensional quantum gravity model defined in terms of Locally Causal Dynamical Triangulations (LCDT). Measuring the Hausdorff and spectral dimensions of the dynamical geometrical ensemble, we find numerical evidence that the continuum limit of the model lies in a new universality class of two-dimensional quantum gravity theories, inequivalent to both Euclidean and Causal Dynamical Triangulations.

Librarians--Supply and demand

description: As scholarly communication has emerged as a strategic imperative among universities, there is an increasing need for legal, technical, and leadership expertise in the field. Many academic libraries have taken on these roles, providing expertise, resources, and acting as the hub for partnerships across campus. Libraries have had particular success by creating full-time positions, often called a “scholarly communication librarian,” which would be dedicated to these issues, but the responsibilities associated with these positions remain ill-defined and idiosyncratic.
This study examines the current state of the scholarly communication librarian. It presents a content analysis of the position descriptions of current scholarly communication librarians submitted by Association of Research Libraries member institutions, highlighting shared characteristics and points of disagreement between skills and requirements for these positions. It offers conclusions about this nascent position’s title, requirements, and job duties, and it presents projections about the future of similar professional positions.

description: Witnessing continuous-variable Bell nonlocality is a challenging endeavor, but Bell himself showed how one might demonstrate this nonlocality. Though Bell nearly showed a violation using the CHSH inequality with sign-binned position-momentum statistics of entangled pairs of particles measured at different times, his demonstration is subject to approximations not realizable in a laboratory setting. Moreover, he doesn't give a quantitative estimation of the maximum achievable violation for the wavefunction he considers. In this article, we show how his strategy can be reimagined using the transverse positions and momenta of entangled photon pairs measured at different propagation distances, and we find that the maximum achievable violation for the state he considers is actually very small relative to the upper limit of $2\sqrt{2}$. Although Bell's wavefunction does not produce a large violation of the CHSH inequality, other states may yet do so.

description: The intestinal microbiota contributes to gut immune homeostasis, where short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) function as the major mediators. We aimed to elucidate the immunomodulatory effects of acetate, propionate, and butyrate. With that in mind, we sought to characterise the expression of SCFA receptors and transporters as well as SCFAs' impact on the activation of different immune cells. Whereas all three SCFAs decreased tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α production in activated T cells, only butyrate and propionate inhibited interferon (IFN)-γ, interleukin (IL)-17, IL-13, and IL-10 production. Butyrate and propionate inhibited the expression of the chemokine receptors CCR9 and CCR10 in activated T- and B-cells, respectively. Similarly, butyrate and propionate were effective inhibitors of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-10 production in myeloid cells upon lipopolysaccharide and R848 stimulation. Acetate was less efficient at inhibiting cytokine production except for IFN-α. Moreover, SCFAs inhibited the production of IL-6 and TNF-α in monocytes, myeloid dendritic cells (mDC), and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC), whereas acetate effects were relatively more prominent in pDCs. In monocytes and mDCs, acetate was a less efficient inhibitor, but it was equally effective in inhibiting pDCs activation. We also studied the ability of SCFAs to induce trained immunity or tolerance. Butyrate and propionate – but not acetate – prevented Toll-like receptor-mediated activation in SCFA-trained cells, as demonstrated by a reduced production of IL-6 and TNF-α. Our findings indicate that butyrate and propionate are equally efficient in inhibiting the adaptive and innate immune response and did not induce trained immunity. The findings may be explained by differential SCFA receptor and transporter expression profiles of the immune cells.

description: This study used content analysis to examine World of Warcraft realm forum threads directed at an individual with the intent to criticize in-game behavior. The study sought to determine if call-out threads share a common structure, and to define the process of posting and responding to call-out threads. The study collected data from sixty threads across seventeen server forums.  Data analysis suggested that call-out threads shared a pattern of posting and response in which an audience acted as judge and jury to establish the credibility of the individuals in conflict and to declare a symbolic winner by providing or withholding favor. World of Warcraft call-out threads provided community members with the opportunity to negotiate what constitutes appropriate and inappropriate gaming behavior while maintaining a light, playful environment.
Syntactic Protocols to Enhance Inclusive Cultural Identity. A Case Study on Istro-Romanian Clausal Structure

Year: 2015

description: This paper has a general and a specific goal. The general goal is quite ambitious and consists in proposing a new linguistic approach, named Protocol Linguistics, that should encompass points of division among linguists of different theoretical persuasion and permit a common effort to put the most recent advances in linguistics at the service of general interests, such as language policies, language education, language rehabilitation, endangered language documentation, and many more third mission type of environments. The second specific goal is to provide an example of a possible protocol for the documentation of a severely endangered language, Istro-Romanian, a variety of eastern Romance spoken in the Istrian peninsula in Croatia, also named Vlaški or Žejanski. The general aim is to suggest that language awareness based on knowledge of syntax, which highlights similarities as well as differences and conceives the differences as variation among a small range of choices, can ground the construction of inclusive cultural identity, which will enhance social cohesion as well as the preservation of minority languages.

From indicative to interpretative maps: Dubrovnik urban fabric in the city councils' deliberations 1400‐1450

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022
Subjects: late medieval, documents, urban fabric, relationships, mapping

description: This paper aims to prompt the visualisation of the research results within the discipline of art history. The core research is documents of a late medieval commune and its relationship with the urban fabric, which is followed by the development of the methodology of mapping and visualizing the research results. The documents studied are the Dubrovnik city councils’ deliberations from 1400 until 1450. They are preserved as manuscripts written in Latin. The manuscripts had been investigated during the DUCAC project (Dubrovnik: Civitas et Acta Consiliorum. Visualizing Development of the Late Medieval Urban Fabric, Croatian Science Foundation, 2014‐2017), which resulted in a collection of 3341 fully transcribed deliberations that reveal the government’s decisions on buildings and spaces in the city. The transcriptions have been published on the project web pages in the form of a map‐searchable database (https://ducac.ipu.hr/project/mapping/). They are organized according to the possibility of locating a building or a space recorded in a document. This database indicates the prospects for further research. The richness of the data allows further research to be conducted from different perspectives and within different disciplines. In this paper, the research is based on the questions which are formulated within the discipline of art history. They tend to disclose the aspects and the extent of the government control over the urban fabric. The questions are: what buildings were recorded in the deliberations, where they are/or were located and how precise we can be in mapping them, who were the owners and to which social group they belonged, what were the government demands and reasons that stood behind these decisions. As a case study, the paper prompts further discussions on the methodology of mapping and visualizing the result of the research on pre-modern cities.

description: This article illustrates the specific linguistic ways which introduce the pragmatics and semantics of de-legitimization and symbolic power in political discourse. We will show that the words produced in political discourse, represent an enabling tool to create the effects of meaning related to the process of (de)legitimization as a slip/change of meaning. Taking into account the few previous studies on de-legitimization strategies, our intention is to analyse this discursive practice in the political discourse of Palmiro Togliatti, considering as the focus of our analysis three speeches delivered in the period 1947-1952. We will show that Togliatti employed many different discursive strategies that can be included within the (de)legitimization spectrum

description: We report on the experimental observation of scaling in the time evolution following a sudden quench into the vicinity of a quantum critical point. The experimental system, a two-component Bose gas with coherent exchange between the constituents, allows for the necessary high level of control of parameters as well as the access to time-resolved spatial correlation functions. The theoretical analysis reveals that when quenching the system close to the critical point, the energy introduced by the quench leads to a short-time evolution exhibiting crossover reminiscent of the finite-temperature critical properties in the system's universality class. Observing the time evolution after a quench represents a paradigm shift in accessing and probing experimentally universal properties close to a quantum critical point and allows in a new way benchmarking of quantum many-body theory with experiments.

description: Extreme events represent a challenge to natural as well as man-made systems. For critical infrastructure like power grids, we need to understand their resilience against large disturbances. Recently, new measures of the resilience of dynamical systems have been developed in the complex system literature. Basin stability and survivability respectively assess the asymptotic and transient behavior of a system when subjected to arbitrary, localized but large perturbations. To employ these methods to assess the resilience of power grids, we need to choose a model of the power grid. So far the most popular model that has been studied is the classical swing equation model for the frequency response of generators and motors. In this paper we study a more sophisticated model of synchronous machines that also takes voltage dynamics into account, and compare it to the previously studied model. This model has been found to give an accurate picture of the long term evolution of synchronous machines in the engineering literature for post fault studies. We find evidence that some stable fix points of the swing equation become unstable when we add voltage dynamics. If this occurs the asymptotic behavior of the system can be dramatically altered, and basin stability estimates obtained with the swing equation can be dramatically wrong. We also find that the survivability does not change significantly when taking the voltage dynamics into account. Further, the limit cycle type asymptotic behaviour is strongly correlated with transient voltages that violate typical operational voltage bounds. Thus, transient voltage bounds are dominated by transient frequency bounds and play no large role for realistic parameters.

description: This paper addresses a need for further collection development in the archives community. As more and more items from popular culture are archived (i.e. movies, music, television, etc.) so should the accompanying fan materials. These fan materials provide important contextual information for their source materials, as well as evidence of the rich cultural history surrounding these materials. To get an understanding of these fan communities, this paper focuses on the large and active Star Wars community. In order to explore the potential archival value of the materials produced by these communities, a qualitative content analysis was conducted of a Star Wars fan fiction, fan podcast, and fan news site. They were analyzed using a contextual entity model designed by Christopher Lee for digital objects, in order to see how the fan materials contextualized and informed on the source materials or Star Wars films. By doing this study, we hope to encourage archives to expand their collections and consider this new type of material that expands the overall cultural history.

Relaxation of vacuum energy in q-theory

description: The $q$-theory formalism aims to describe the thermodynamics and dynamics of the deep quantum vacuum. The thermodynamics leads to an exact cancellation of the quantum-field zero-point-energies in equilibrium, which partly solves the main cosmological constant problem. But, with reversible dynamics, the spatially-flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe asymptotically approaches the Minkowski vacuum only if the Big Bang already started out in an initial equilibrium state. Here, we extend $q$-theory by introducing dissipation from irreversible processes. Neglecting the possible instability of a de-Sitter vacuum, we obtain different scenarios with either a de-Sitter asymptote or collapse to a final singularity. The Minkowski asymptote still requires fine-tuning of the initial conditions. This suggests that, within the $q$-theory approach, the decay of the de-Sitter vacuum is a necessary condition for the dynamical solution of the cosmological constant problem.

description: We present Submillimeter Array (SMA) molecular line observations in two 2 GHz-wide bands centered at 217.5 and 227.5 GHz, toward the massive star forming region W51 North. We identified 84 molecular line transitions from 17 species and their isotopologues. The molecular gas distribution of these lines mainly peaks in the continuum position of W51 North, and has a small tail extending to the west, probably associated with W51 d2. In addition to the commonly detected nitrogen and oxygen-bearing species, we detected a large amount of transitions of the Acetone (CH$_3$COCH$_3$) and Methyl Formate (CH$_3$OCHO), which may suggest that these molecules are present in an early evolutionary stage of the massive stars. We also found that W51 North is an ethanol-rich source. There is no obvious difference in the molecular gas distributions between the oxygen-bearing and nitrogen-bearing molecules. Under the assumption of Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (LTE), with the XCLASS tool, the molecular column densities, and rotation temperatures are estimated. We found that the oxygen-bearing molecules have considerable higher column densities and fractional abundances than the nitrogen-bearing molecules. The rotation temperatures range from 100 to 200 K, suggesting that the molecular emission could be originated from a warm environment. Finally, based on the gas distributions, fractional abundances and the rotation temperatures, we conclude that CH$_3$OH, C$_2$H$_5$OH, CH$_3$COCH$_3$ and CH$_3$CH$_2$CN might be synthesized on the grain surface, while gas phase chemistry is responsible for the production of CH$_3$OCH$_3$, CH$_3$OCHO and CH$_2$CHCN.

description: We propose a supergravity model with a constrained curvature multiplet, which realizes the Starobinsky inflation and the de Sitter vacuum in the present universe simultaneously. Surprisingly, at the vacuum, the soft supersymmetry breaking scale for minimal supersymmetric standard model sector becomes the TeV scale, however, the gravitino mass scale becomes much higher than that of soft supersymmetry breaking. Such a hierarchical structure, which naturally avoids the gravitino problem, appears without introducing a new scale other than inflation scale.

Sesleria rhodopaea

description: 20. Sesleria rhodopaea Tashev & Dimitrov (2012: 170)
 Type:— BULGARIA. [Plovdiv district]: Central Rhodopes, in the area of Dobrostan village, Anarska shirina, limestone rocky place, 41°54′57.0′′ N, 24°53′03.5′′ E, 1440 m, 17 August 2007, Tashev s.n. (holotype SOM-167294!, isotype BEOU 31897!).
 Taxonomy:— Sesleria rhodopaea is the most recently described species in the genus (Tashev & Dimitrov 2012: 170). Plant material from which the species was described was collected in Bulgaria, near the road from “Martsiganitsa” hut to “Chervenata stena” peak (Central Rhodopes). From approximately the same locality (“in monte Chervenata stena”) the original material for S. pontica was collected by Klášterský and Deyl (Deyl 1946). After studying the type material of S. rhodopaea deposited in SOM, as well as duplicates obtained as a gift from the author (A. Tashev) and deposited in BEOU, we concluded that this species represents a deviating form of S. latifolia. Further study is needed to confirm the taxonomic status of this species.

Translation Techniques and Interpretative Phenomena in the Greek Version of the Hebrew Bible: A Study of the Figurative Use of the Noun צֵל ‘Shadow’
Creators: name: Vergari, Romina
Publisher: name: Quaderni di Linguistica e Studi Orientali
Year: 2015

description: The first part of this article explores the figurative exploitations of the word צֵל ‘shadow’ in Biblical Hebrew. Special attention is paid to the poetical language. Alongside the metonymy “shelter”, the metaphorical usage of this word is centred on the ideas of protection and transitoriness. The second part of the article takes into account the renderings of צֵל in the Old Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible. The data collected suggest that the translators refrain from using the equivalent σκιά in those contexts involving the abstract idea of protection and rather opt for the noun σκέπη. The discussion moves further by evaluating the motivations that could have led the translators to judge the term σκιά as unsuitable to express the idea of protection metaphorically. A first line of argument takes into account factors within the Hebrew biblical text; a second line of argument considers the usage of σκιά within Greek literary sources; finally, a third line of argument looks at those non-literary varieties of Greek found in documentary papyri of the Ptolemaic age

description: Academic libraries, though situated within universities, are not purely for academic purposes and have made efforts to provide services that support the overall university life of students. These efforts include providing recreational reading materials to patrons.This paper is a case study of one particular leased recreational reading collection at a southeastern university that looks at how these collections are utilized by patrons and perceived by librarians. Circulation statistics for the collection were analyzed and interviews with librarians involved with the collection development and maintenance of the materials were conducted to consider how these collections fit within academia. Additionally, this paper includes a survey of 12 universities with similar collections to determine if the results from one university are broadly applicable to others. Research determined that popular reading collections have a demonstrated use for various patron groups and are valuable to both patrons and librarians.

description: We present the evolution of galaxy sizes, from redshift 2 to 0, for actively star forming and passive galaxies in the cosmological hydrodynamical 1003 cMpc3 simulation of the EAGLE project. We find that the sizes increase with stellar mass , but that the relation weakens with increasing redshift. Separating galaxies by their star formation activity, we find that passive galaxies are typically smaller than active galaxies at fixed stellar mass. These trends are consistent with those found in observations and the level of agreement between the predicted and observed size - mass relation is of order 0.1 dex for z < 1 and 0.2-0.3 dex from redshift 1 to 2. We use the simulation to compare the evolution of individual galaxies to that of the population as a whole. While the evolution of the size-stellar mass relation for active galaxies provides a good proxy for the evolution of individual galaxies, the evolution of individual passive galaxies is not well represented by the observed size - mass relation due to the evolving number density of passive galaxies. Observations of z \approx 2 galaxies have revealed an abundance of massive red compact galaxies, that depletes below z \approx 1. We find that a similar population forms naturally in the simulation. Comparing these galaxies to their z = 0 descendants, we find that all compact galaxies grow in size due to the high-redshift stars migrating outwards. Approximately 60% of the compact galaxies increase in size further due to renewed star formation and/or mergers.

title: Suffizienzförderung in der Marketingkommunikation
Creators: name: Elsner, Nina
Publisher: name: Hochschule Offenburg
Year: 2023

description: Aktuelle Forschungsstudien betrachten im Kontext von Suffizienz und Marketing aktuell vor allem den Einsatz in Unternehmen selbst und weniger die Wirkung von Marketingmaßnahmen auf die Konsumenten. So gibt es etwa erste Studien dazu warum und wie kommerzielles Marketing suffizienzfördernden Konsum fördern sollte oder zum Einsatz von Suffizienz in der Unternehmenskommunikation. Untersuchungen im Bereich der Kommunikationspolitik und deren Auswirkungen auf das Konsumentenverhalten fokussieren sich vor allem auf die Wahrnehmung des Unternehmens oder die Auswirkungen auf suffizientes Verhalten. Die Art der Kommunikation wird noch als Nischenphänomen in der Praxis angesehen. Ein Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es daher die bestehende Forschung zu erweitern und Implikationen für die Marketingpraxis zu erarbeiten.

Government information

description: The freedom of the public to access government information is one of the cornerstones of democracy. Free access to information allows citizens to monitor their government, to keep it accountable to the people it represents and to become engaged in the democratic process. With the end of the Cold War and the fall of communism, the countries of Central and Eastern Europe began the process of democratization, and free access to information has been an important aspect of that transformation. This paper examines the relationships between freedom of information and post-communist democratization. What types of laws have post-communist put in place to ensure free access to government information? How has the process of joining the European Union affected information access? Has increased information access affected the levels of government transparency? After a discussion of these topics and the current political and information science literature which address them, I will explore these topics specifically through case studies of three countries: the Czech Republic, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.   While each of these three countries have the legal structures in place to ensure free access to information, the Czech Republic, farther along in its democratic development than Croatia or Bosnia, allows its citizens to access government information more easily. However, as Croatia and Bosnia join the European Union, hopefully both democratic governments and further access to government information will follow.
