L’efficacia delle mappe concettuali per l’apprendimento: analisi critica di evidenze empiriche
Creators: name: Pellegrini, Marta
name: Mensuali, Anna
Publisher: name: Form@re - Open Journal per la formazione in rete
Year: 2015

description: In questo contributo ci si chiede quando e come le mappe concettuali possano facilitare l’apprendimento degli studenti. Per rispondere a questa domanda è stata compiuta una ricerca sui repository in rete più noti attraverso criteri di selezione ispirati alle metodologie dell’Evidence Based Education, considerando le meta-analisi, le critical review e gli studi sperimentali. Il risultato di questa indagine ha portato a individuare il grado generale di efficacia delle mappe concettuali e le condizioni che le rendono più utili per l’apprendimento: il momento in cui è più adeguato introdurre una mappa concettuale, le modalità attraverso cui gli studenti possono utilizzarla e chi, fra insegnante e allievi, dovrebbe costruirla al fine di migliorare l’apprendimento.

description: According to current estimates, 36.7 million people are infected with HIV worldwide. Despite large-scale and growing programs to prevent and treat HIV infection, possible approaches to achieve a cure for HIV infection are of strong interest.
In the development of candidate approaches to achieve an HIV cure, issues of future translation to human study participants, evidence-based practice, clinical care, diverse populations, and populations in low- and middle-income countries should all be considered.
An HIV cure should be effective, safe, simple, affordable, and scalable.
Acceptability research is a critical adjunct to ongoing biomedical HIV cure research efforts.
Anticipating some of the ethical and implementation challenges related to HIV cure strategies is necessary before the availability of effective interventions.
Ongoing engagement of stakeholders is needed to resolve ethical, logistical, social, cultural, policy, regulatory, and implementation challenges at all stages of the HIV cure research development process.

description: The Offline Software of the CMS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN consists of 6M lines of in-house code, developed over a decade by nearly 1000 physicists, as well as a comparable amount of general use open-source code. A critical ingredient to the success of the construction and early operation of the WLCG was the convergence, around the year 2000, on the use of a homogeneous environment of commodity x86-64 processors and Linux. Apache Mesos is a cluster manager that provides efficient resource isolation and sharing across distributed applications, or frameworks. It can run Hadoop, Jenkins, Spark, Aurora, and other applications on a dynamically shared pool of nodes. We present how we migrated our continuos integration system to schedule jobs on a relatively small Apache Mesos enabled cluster and how this resulted in better resource usage, higher peak performance and lower latency thanks to the dynamic scheduling capabilities of Mesos.

Year: 2015

description: Studi internazionali condotti su esperienze di Work-Based Learning (WBL) e Work-Related Learning (WRL), evidenziano il potere educativo e formativo dei contesti di lavoro. Un simile approccio è alla base del modello italiano dell’Alternanza Scuola-Lavoro (ASL), la cui componente chiave è la partnership tra scuola e mondo del lavoro. Nonostante le numerose sperimentazioni, l’ASL si presenta però come un modello formativo ancora da definire. Questo studio, facente parte di un piano di ricerca molto più ampio, è stato realizzato in due fasi, tramite interviste semi-strutturate rivolte a due gruppi di partecipanti diversi. La finalità di questa prima parte del percorso è di conoscere lo stato dell’arte del dialogo scuola-lavoro in alcune scuole del nord-Italia. I risultati ottenuti ne evidenziano i punti di forza, ma anche la causa delle criticità legate al nostro sistema di ASL.

description: We report a quantitative, analytical and numerical, comparison between two models of the interaction of a non-relativistic quantum particle with a thin time-dependent absorbing barrier. The first model represents the barrier by a set of time-dependent discontinuous matching conditions, which are closely related to Kottler boundary conditions used in stationary wave optics as a mathematical basis for Kirchhoff diffraction theory. The second model mimics the absorbing barrier with an off-diagonal $δ$-potential with a time-dependent amplitude. We show that the two models of absorption agree in their predictions in a semiclassical regime -- the regime readily accessible in modern experiments with ultracold atoms.

description: Due to high reflectivity and high resolution of X-ray pulses, diamond is one of the most popular Bragg crystals serving as the reflecting mirror and mono$-$chromator in the next generation of free electrons lasers (FELs). The energy deposition of X-rays will result in thermal heating, and thus lattice expansion of the diamond crystal, which may degrade the performance of X-ray FELs. In this paper, the thermal loading effect of diamond crystal for X-ray FEL oscillators has been systematically studied by combined simulation with Geant4 and ANSYS, and its dependence on the environmental temperature, crystal size, X-ray pulse repetition rate and pulse energy are presented. Our results show that taking the thermal loading effects into account, X-ray FEL oscillators are still robust and promising with an optimized design.

description: We present a spectral and imaging analysis of the XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of the Seyfert 2 galaxy ESO138-G001, with the aim of characterizing the circumnuclear material responsible for the soft (0.3-2.0 keV) and hard (5-10 keV) X-ray emission. We confirm that the source is absorbed by Compton-thick gas. However, if a self-consistent model of reprocessing from cold toroidal material is used (MYTorus), a possible scenario requires the absorber to be inhomogenous, its column density along the line of sight being larger than the average column density integrated over all lines- of-sight through the torus. The iron emission line may be produced by moderately ionised iron (FeXII-FeXIII), as suggested by the shifted centroid energy and the low Kβ/Kα flux ratio. The soft X-ray emission is dominated by emission features, whose main excitation mechanism appears to be photoionisation, as confirmed by line diagnostics and the use of self-consistent models (CLOUDY).

Economic Valuation of Protecting Urban River Water Pollution in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: A Choice Experiment Approach
Creators: name: Gebretsadik Teshager
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2014

description: The objective of the study was to analyze households’ willingness to pay for protection of river water pollution that attaches an economic value to the river. The choice experiment technique was employed by means of interviewing 315 respondents. For the protection options, five attributes; river water quality, river water volume, riparian buffer zone, recreational facilities and monetary payments were identified and developed. Attributes and socioeconomic characteristics were estimated using multinomial logit and random parameter logit models. Based on the best model fit, random parameter logit model with interactions result, respondents are willing to pay on average birr 90.34, 12.89 and 27.87 /respondent/year for additional level and birr 1.48/respondent/year for extra meter for river water quality, river water volume, recreational facilities and riparian buffer zone, respectively. Moreover, it is found that respondents are willing to pay on average birr 607.2, 753.2 and 886.2 /respondent/year for low, medium and high impact improvement scenarios. Priority should be given to the improvement of the water quality, since households attached a higher value for the attribute of river water quality

description: Libraries play an integral role as learning partners and connectors throughout the data science lifecycle in curriculum and research.  We will discuss the UNC library system-wide data science initiative around the following issues (1) how to scaffold the integration of data science competencies through layers of education and help solve real-world problems; (2) how to harness the expertise from interdisciplinary experts, and incorporate pedagogical approaches that facilitate problem-based learning; (3) how to bridge the gaps in skill acquisition, application of data science tools, and allocation of resources by playing an intermediary role. The discussion will be framed around social sciences and humanities, digital humanities, and a special emphasis on biomedical and health sciences. Examples will include the research collaborations that the UNC Health Sciences Library established with several campus units, including North Carolina Translational and Clinical Science Institute, UNC School of Medicine, School of Pharmacy, and other entities on campus that host large volumes of data.

description: PSR J102347.6+003841 is a radio pulsar system with a spin period of 1.69 ms and an orbital period of 4.75 hours. Uniquely, it undergoes periods of transient accretion from its companion star: it occupies an important position in the evolutionary track from X-ray binary to isolated millisecond radio pulsar. Here we present a spectroscopic study of this system showing late-type absorption features which match those of a G2V star. We find a semiamplitude of $286 \pm 3$ kms$^{-1}$ and a best fit orbital period of 0.1980966(1) days. We combine these measurements with optical photometry which suggests the secondary star may be underfilling its Roche lobe by between 15\% and 20\%. We weakly constrain the mass of the neutron star to be $\leq$ 2.2 M$_\odot$ at the 2$σ$ level. We also discuss the possible origins of the H$α$ emission line in our template subtracted, averaged spectrum. Finally we present and discuss new optical photometry of J1023 taken during the recent outburst of the system.

description: Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) utilizes dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) as an entry receptor. Mouse DPP4 (mDPP4) does not support MERS-CoV entry; however, changes at positions 288 and 330 can confer permissivity. Position 330 changes the charge and glycosylation state of mDPP4. We show that glycosylation is a major factor impacting DPP4 receptor function. These results provide insight into DPP4 species-specific differences impacting MERS-CoV host range and may inform MERS-CoV mouse model development.

description: The infrared-to-X-ray (IRX) flux ratio traces the relative importance of dust cooling to gas cooling in astrophysical plasma such as supernova remnants (SNRs). We derive IRX ratios of SNRs in the LMC using Spitzer and Chandra SNR survey data and compare them with those of Galactic SNRs. IRX ratios of all the SNRs in the sample are found to be moderately greater than unity, indicating that dust grains are a more efficient coolant than gas although gas cooling may not be negligible. The IRX ratios of the LMC SNRs are systematically lower than those of the Galactic SNRs. As both dust cooling and gas cooling pertain to the properties of the interstellar medium, the lower IRX ratios of the LMC SNRs may reflect the characteristics of the LMC, and the lower dust-to- gas ratio (a quarter of the Galactic value) is likely to be the most significant factor. The observed IRX ratios are compared with theoretical predictions that yield IRX ratios an order of magnitude larger. This discrepancy may originate from the dearth of dust in the remnants due to either the local variation of the dust abundance in the preshock medium with respect to the canonical abundance or the dust destruction in the postshock medium. The non-equilibrium ionization cooling of hot gas, in particular for young SNRs, may also cause the discrepancy. Finally, we discuss implications for the dominant cooling mechanism of SNRs in low-metallicity galaxies.

description: Questo articolo intende porre l’accento sull’interazione tra il multilinguismo e i meccanismi attentivi in bambini provenienti da un contesto migratorio. L’indagine a cui si riferisce è basata sulla somministrazione dell’Attentional Network Test e di un questionario linguistico a 57 bambini in una scuola a Bolzano. Dalla correlazione dei risultati del test attentivo con i profili linguistici dei singoli partecipanti, e differenziando ulteriormente in base al contesto di provenienza, è possibile dedurre l’influsso del multilinguismo sui meccanismi attentivi. La conoscenza e consapevolezza delle implicazioni del multilinguismo a livello neurocognitivo e l’impatto che esso ha fin dall’infanzia sulle strutture cerebrali e neuronali sono fondamentali ai fini della corretta attuazione degli interventi didattici. Aggiungendo un ulteriore tassello alla ricerca, questa indagine vuole contribuire a corroborare le tesi scientifiche già formulate in questo campo e delucidarne le implicazioni ai fini della prassi didattica.

description: To understand how Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) transmitted from bats to humans, we compared the virus surface spikes of MERS-CoV and a related bat coronavirus, HKU4. Although HKU4 spike cannot mediate viral entry into human cells, two mutations enabled it to do so by allowing it to be activated by human proteases. These mutations are present in MERS-CoV spike, explaining why MERS-CoV infects human cells. These mutations therefore played critical roles in the bat-to-human transmission of MERS-CoV, either directly or through intermediate hosts.

description: Over the past 30 years, several cross-species transmission events, as well as changes in virus tropism, have mediated significant animal and human diseases. Most notable is severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), a lower respiratory tract disease of humans that was first reported in late 2002 in Guangdong Province, China. The disease, which quickly spread worldwide over a period of 4 months spanning late 2002 and early 2003, infected over 8,000 individuals and killed nearly 800 before it was successfully contained by aggressive public health intervention strategies. A coronavirus (SARS-CoV) was identified as the etiological agent of SARS, and initial assessments determined that the virus crossed to human hosts from zoonotic reservoirs, including bats, Himalayan palm civets (Paguma larvata), and raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides), sold in exotic animal markets in Guangdong Province. In this review, we discuss the molecular mechanisms that govern coronavirus cross-species transmission both in vitro and in vivo, using the emergence of SARS-CoV as a model. We pay particular attention to how changes in the Spike attachment protein, both within and outside of the receptor binding domain, mediate the emergence of coronaviruses in new host populations.

description: The genome of the severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) contains eight open reading frames (ORFs) that encode novel proteins. These accessory proteins are dispensable for in vitro and in vivo replication and thus may be important for other aspects of virus-host interactions. We investigated the functions of the largest of the accessory proteins, the ORF 3a protein, using a 3a-deficient strain of SARS-CoV. Cell death of Vero cells after infection with SARS-CoV was reduced upon deletion of ORF 3a. Electron microscopy of infected cells revealed a role for ORF 3a in SARS-CoV induced vesicle formation, a prominent feature of cells from SARS patients. In addition, we report that ORF 3a is both necessary and sufficient for SARS-CoV-induced Golgi fragmentation and that the 3a protein accumulates and localizes to vesicles containing markers for late endosomes. Finally, overexpression of ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (Arf1), a small GTPase essential for the maintenance of the Golgi apparatus, restored Golgi morphology during infection. These results establish an important role for ORF 3a in SARS-CoV-induced cell death, Golgi fragmentation, and the accumulation of intracellular vesicles.
Enea e Anchise. Compiti di sviluppo per la Didattica

description: Enea e Anchise sono la metafora della coppia Didattica/Pedagogia, due saperi che si occupano, grosso modo, dello stesso oggetto: l’educazione. L’articolo esamina gli equivoci che il doppio comporta sul piano terminologico, i limiti delle soluzioni epistemologiche del problema e avanza il progetto di una emancipazione della Didattica, analoga a quella di Enea, dopo la morte di Anchise e la sua discesa agli inferi.

description: We study the class of self-similar probability density functions with finite mean and variance which maximize Rényi's entropy. The investigation is restricted in the Schwartz space $S(\mathbb{R}^d)$ and in the space of $l$-differentiable compactly supported functions $C_c^l(\mathbb{R}^d)$. Interestingly the solutions of this optimization problem do not coincide with the solutions of the usual porous medium equation with a Dirac point source, as it occurs in the optimization of Shannon's entropy. We also study the concavity of the entropy power in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with respect to time using two different methods. The first one takes advantage of the solutions determined earlier while the second one is based on a setting that could be used for Riemannian manifolds.

description: Il presente contributo analizza i commenti espressi dagli studenti del Corso di Studi in Scienze della Formazione Primaria dell’Università di Firenze dopo aver partecipato al primo anno di un nuovo percorso di tirocinio integrato da videomentoring. I feedback forniti dai tirocinanti sono stati esaminati con un duplice scopo: (i) acquisire i giudizi, le percezioni, le emozioni degli studenti in rapporto all’esperienza effettuata; (ii) ricavarne indicazioni per migliorare la proposta formativa. I dati raccolti, analizzati attraverso una content analysis, toccano aspetti fondamentali della formazione iniziale degli insegnanti, quali il modellamento, l’importanza del rapporto con il tutor, la riflessività, l’imbarazzo dei tirocinanti nel vedersi in azione.

Quantum state transfer in a disordered one-dimensional lattice

description: We investigate the effect of disorder on the transfer of quantum states across a one-dimensional lattice with varying levels of control resources. We find that the application of properly designed control signals, even when applied only to the two ends of the lattice, allows perfect state transfer up to disorder strengths that would not allow a generic quantum state to propagate the length of the lattice. At sufficiently large disorder strengths, however, the local control signals fail to send the quantum state from one end of the system to the other end. Our results shed light on the interplay between disorder and controlled transport in one-dimensional systems.

Investigation of Power8 processors for astronomical adaptive optics real-time control
Creators: name: Basden, Alastair
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The forthcoming Extremely Large Telescopes all require adaptive optics systems for their successful operation. The real-time control for these systems becomes computationally challenging, in part limited by the memory bandwidths required for wavefront reconstruction. We investigate new POWER8 processor technologies applied to the problem of real-time control for adaptive optics. These processors have a large memory bandwidth, and we show that they are suitable for operation of first-light ELT instrumentation, and propose some potential real-time control system designs. A CPU-based real-time control system significantly reduces complexity, improves maintainability, and leads to increased longevity for the real-time control system.

description: Per contrastare il fenomeno dei falsi positivi nelle diagnosi di discalculia in Italia, tra i bambini di terza elementare, è stato realizzato un progetto triennale (2011-2014), fondato sulla collaborazione tra ricercatori in psicologia e didattica della matematica. Durante il progetto sono state elaborate e sperimentate pratiche didattiche atte a prevenire e affrontare difficoltà di apprendimento nell’ambito dell’aritmetica all’inizio della scuola primaria. In questo articolo vengono discusse le basi su cui si fonda il progetto, in particolare le basi scientifiche dei materiali didattici elaborati, di cui verranno proposti alcuni esempi. Tali esempi sono prototipici rispetto all’attenzione verso un approccio cinestetico-tattile e visuo-spaziale alla matematica. Le pratiche didattiche proposte hanno portato gli studenti ad interiorizzare relazioni parte-tutto e a pensare alla moltiplicazione in maniera strutturale, attraverso appositi diagrammi. Saranno forniti dati quantitativi e discussi brevemente dati qualitativi che confermano l’efficacia delle pratiche didattiche proposte.

Year: 2015

description: L’approccio brain-based alla didattica si fonda sull’assunto che una didattica efficace non può prescindere da una conoscenza approfondita dei processi cerebrali che sottostanno all’apprendimento. Partendo da questo principio, l’articolo cerca di delineare le componenti della learning readiness, in termini di conoscenze, abilità/capacità, atteggiamenti, attraverso la descrizione delle funzioni cognitive di basso livello che ne sono alla base e dei principi fondanti una buona pratica deliberata volta a produrre apprendimenti significativi. Viene proposto infine un modello per la strutturazione di attività didattiche brain-based compatibili con le istanze presentate.

description: We obtained single-phase near-infrared (NIR) magnitudes in the $J$- and $K$-band for a sample of 33 RR Lyrae stars in the Carina dSph galaxy. Applying different theoretical and empirical calibrations of the NIR period-luminosity-metallicity relation for RR Lyrae stars, we find consistent results and obtain a true, reddening-corrected distance modulus of 20.118 $\pm$ 0.017 (statistical) $\pm$ 0.11 (systematic) mag. This value is in excellent agreement with the results obtained in the context of the Araucaria Project from NIR photometry of Red Clump stars (20.165 $\pm$ 0.015) and Tip of Red Giant Branch (20.09 $\pm$ 0.03 $\pm$ 0.12 mag in $J$-band, 20.14 $\pm$ 0.04 $\pm$ 0.14 mag in $K$-band), as well as with most independent distance determinations to this galaxy. The near-infrared RR Lyrae method proved to be a reliable tool for accurate distance determination at the 5 percent level or better, particularly for galaxies and globular clusters that lack young standard candles, like Cepheids.
