description: We study the propagation of waves from the photosphere to the chromosphere of sunspots. From time series of cospatial Ca II H (including its line blends) intensity spectra and polarimetric spectra of Si I 1082.7 nm and He I 1083.0 nm we retrieve the line-of-sight velocity at several heights. The analysis of the phase difference and amplification spectra shows standing waves for frequencies below 4 mHz and propagating waves for higher frequencies, and allows us to infer the temperature and height where the lines are formed. Using these observational data, we have constructed a model of sunspot, and we have introduced the velocity measured with the photospheric Si I 1082.7 nm line as a driver. The numerically propagated wave pattern fits reasonably well with the observed using the lines formed at higher layers, and the simulations reproduce many of the observed features. The observed waves are slow MHD waves propagating longitudinally along field lines.

description: L’articolo presenta l’edizione critica, annotata e fornita di traduzione, delle due tenzoni in cui è coinvolto il trovatore galego-portoghese Pero Garcia Burgalés. Entrambi i testi sono stati sottoposti in passato ad analisi che, talvolta, mettevano in dubbio l’effettiva presenza di Pero Garcia, proponendo attribuzioni alternative; in tale contesto, oltre a dimostrare l’indubbia paternità di Pero nelle coblas a lui corrispondenti nei due dialoghi poetici, si identificherà Alfonso X come interlocutore del Burgalés nella seconda tenzone, che la critica suole invece considerare una tenson fictive.

This article presents the critical edition (complete with notes and translation) of the two tensos involving Galician-Portuguese troubadour Pero Garcia Burgalés. Both texts have been the object of previous analyses, some of which have doubted the involvement of Pero Garcia, suggesting different attributions; in this context, not only will Pero’s authorship of the coblas be demonstrated, but his interlocutor in the second tenso will be identified as Alfonso X, contrary to traditional interpretations which consider the text to be a tenson fictive.

La lancia di Peleo: vitalità di un tópos

Subjects: topoi; lancia di Peleo; Peleo's spear; ferita amorosa; love round

description: Il tópos della ‘lancia di Peleo’ è mostrato nel suo percorso dalla Provenza all’Italia, da Bernart de Ventadorn al Dante dell’Inferno, passando per la poesia siciliana e per i poeti pre-stilnovisti: ritenuto essere uno dei più diffusi nell’esperienza lirica delle origini, esso è in realtà raramente utilizzato nella sua forma semanticamente più ricca (la lancia che ferisce con un colpo, e guarisce la ferita con un secondo colpo della stessa lancia), mentre è più spesso incrociato con quello del ‘dardo amoroso’.

The essay traces the tópos of “Peleus’ spear” throughout the history of literature, from Provence to Italy, from Bernard de Ventadorn to Dante’s Inferno, through Sicilian poetry and pre-stilnovistic poets. While it is believed to be one of the most common tópoi of ancient poetry, it is only rarely used in its semantically richest form (a spear wounding with its first blow and healing with the second) and is more often linked to the concept of a “love dart”.

VARIAZIONE MORFOLOGICA E STRUTTURALE LUNGO IL DECORSO DELLA PARETE AORTICA UMANA E DI RATTO, CON PARTICOLARE RIFERIMENTO ALLA COMPONENTE PROTEOGLICANICA ALTAMENTE SOLFORATA DELLA MATRICE EXTRACELLULARE

description: AIMS: We sought to determine the changes in content and organization of non-collagenic constituents of the extracellular matrix (EC), focusing in particular on highly sulphated proteoglycans (HSPGs) throughout the normal human. METHODS. Histochemical staining with Alcian Blue pH 0.2 allowed for tinctorial distinction of HSPGs on complete 1-cm transverse rings removed from the ascending and descending thoracic aorta and abdominal supraceliac, suprarenal, and infrarenal aorta of young subjects at autopsy. The same protocol has been applied to Sprague-Dawley rats? aorta to confirm the human findings. Counterstaining with Orcein and Sirius Red allowed comparing with the total content of elastin and collagen. RESULTS. Collagen/elastin ratio increases from the proximal to distal aorta. There is a significant decrease in elastin between the supradiaphragmatic and the abdominal aorta. The proportion of HSPGs does not change significantly throughout the thoracic and thoraco-abdominal aorta, while a significant increase in total HSPGs content is observed at the infrarenal site. The same findings were confirmed on rat?s tissues. CONCLUSION. The infrarenal aorta differs histologically and biochemically from the remainder of the aorta. Highly sulphated proteoglycans in the distal aorta bear an increased load as compared to the proximal aorta. A decrease in infrarenal elastin without a corresponding decrease in collagen may effect the compliance and integrity of the distal aorta. These anatomic differences may be important in predisposing the infrarenal aorta to atherosclerosis and aneurysm formation. Rats represent a feasible model to investigate the normal asset of EC constituents of the aorta.

description: Considerata l’importanza della Scuola siciliana alle origini della tradizione lirica italiana, è parso utile tornare sulla questione del rapporto con gli antecedenti occitanici. Essi hanno rappresentato infatti un modello fondamentale, che però non porta necessariamente all’imitazione. Infatti, quegli stessi antecedenti sono anche il punto di partenza nella ricerca di autonomia, attraverso selezione, trasformazione ed appropriazione degli strumenti espressivi. Un principio cardine nelle scelte dei poeti federiciani è l’astrazione, come dimostra la riduzione del poetabile alla sola lirica amorosa. Per illustrare tali aspetti, e dunque il passaggio dall’esperienza trobadorica a quella della Scuola, si è rivelata efficace l’analisi del corposo sistema di immagini incentrato sulla violenza, ricco e al contempo omogeneo (guerra, battaglie, armi, inimicizia, resa, vittoria, costrizione, tormenti, fuoco e cosí via). Il presente contributo mira ad osservare le diverse strategie d’uso del medesimo campo semantico nelle due diverse realtà culturali di Provenzali e Siciliani.

Given the importance of Sicilian poetry as the origin of the Italian lyric tradition, it seems useful to propose once more the problem of its connection to Occitanic models. These models represent a fundamental example, which anyway doesn’t necessarily lead the Sicilian poets towards imitation. They are also a starting point in the search for  autonomy through selection, transformation and appropriation of expressive tools. A key principle in the stylistic choices of Sicilians is abstraction, as demonstrated by their exclusive limitation to the theme of love. The analysis of images centered on violence (war, battle, weapons, hostility, surrender, victory, constriction, agony, fire and so on) is useful in examining in depth these aspects, and in general the passage from troubadours’ to Sicilians’ experience. The present essay highlights the different strategies in the use of the same semantic area within the two different cultural realities of Occitans and Sicilians.

description: We have calculated synthetic spectra for typical chemical element mixtures (i.e., a standard alpha-enhanced distribution, and distributions displaying CN and ONa anticorrelations) found in the various subpopulations harboured by Galactic globular clusters. From the spectra we have determined bolometric corrections to the standard Johnson-Cousins and Stroemgren filters, and finally predicted colours. These bolometric corrections and colour-transformations, coupled to our theoretical isochrones with the appropriate chemical composition, provide a complete and self-consistent set of theoretical predictions for the effect of abundance variations on the observed cluster CMD. CNO abundance variations affect mainly wavelengths shorter than 400 nm, due to the arise of molecular absorption bands in cooler atmospheres. As a consequence, colour and magnitude changes are largest in the blue filters, independently of using broad or intermediate bandpasses. Colour-magnitude diagrams involving uvy and UB filters (and their various possible colour combinations) are thus the ones best suited to infer photometrically the presence of multiple stellar generations in individual clusters. They are particularly sensitive to variations in the N abundance, with the largest variations affecting the Red Giant Branch (RGB) and lower Main Sequence (MS). BVI diagrams are expected to display multiple sequences only if the different populations are characterized by variations of the C+N+O sum and helium abundance, that lead to changes in luminosity and effective temperature, but leave the flux distribution above 400 nm practically unaffected. A variation of just the helium abundance, up to the level we investigate here, affects exclusively the interior structure of stars, and is largely irrelevant for the atmospheric structure and the resulting flux distribution in the whole wavelength range spanned by our analysis.

description: Due manoscritti appartenuti a Hermann Suchier, parte di una miscellanea devota del XV secolo in gran parte perduta, sono oggi conservati in due biblioteche statunitensi. Tra le opere che essi conservano vi sono dei testi volgari di area italiana nord-occidentale, la maggior parte di genere narrativo, alcuni dei quali ancora inediti, fra cui un volgarizzamento acefalo della Historia Apollonii Regis Tyri. L’articolo offre un primo esame sommario dei codici e del loro contenuto, concentrandosi in particolare sulla sezione volgare e sulla storia di Apollonio di Tiro, che declina in maniera in parte nuova la fedeltà alla fonte latina.

Two manuscripts that once belonged to Hermann Suchier, forming part of a pious miscellany of the fifteenth century now largely lost, are preserved today in two U.S. libraries. Among the works they contain there are some vulgar texts from north-west Italy, mostly belonging to the narrative genre, some of which are still unpublished; among them there is a vernacularization of the Historia Apollonii Regis Tyri. The article provides a summary examination of the manuscripts and their content, focusing in particular on the narrative section and on the history of Apollonius of Tyre, which declines, partly in a new way, the fidelity to the Latin source.

description: We present a large sample of 803 star-forming luminous compact galaxies (LCGs) in the redshift range z = 0.02-0.63, selected from Data Release 7 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The global properties of these galaxies are similar to those of the so-called "green pea" star-forming galaxies, in the redshift range z=0.112-0.360 and selected from the SDSS on the basis of their green color and compact structure. In contrast to green pea galaxies, our LCGs are selected on the basis of both their spectroscopic and photometric properties, resulting in a ~10 times larger sample, with galaxies spanning a redshift range >2 times larger. We find that the oxygen abundances and the heavy element abundance ratios in LCGs do not differ from those of nearby low-metallicity blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxies. The median stellar mass of LCGs is ~1e9 Msun. However, for galaxies with high EW(Hbeta), >100A, it is only ~7x1e8 Msun. The star formation rate in LCGs varies in the large range of 0.7-60 Msun yr^{-1}, with a median value of ~4 Msun yr^{-1}, a factor of ~3 lower than in high-redshift star-forming galaxies at z>3. The specific star formation rates in LCGs are extremely high and vary in the range ~1e-9 - 1e-7 yr^{-1}, comparable to those derived in high-redshift galaxies.

description: We investigate theoretically the optical properties of Nano-Wires (NWs) with cross sections having either discrete or cylindrical symmetry. The material forming the wire is birefringent, showing a different dielectric response in the plane and along the axis of the wire, which is typically the case for wires made of wurtzite materials, such as ZnO or GaN. We look for solutions of Maxwell`s equations having the proper symmetry. The dispersions and the linewidths versus angle of incident light for the modes having high momentum in the cross-section plane, so called whispering gallery modes, are calculated. We put a special emphasis on the case of hexagonal cross sections. The energy positions of the modes for a set of azimuthal quantum numbers are shown. We demonstrate the dependence of the energy splitting between TE and TM modes versus birefringence. The polarization conversion from TE to TM with increase of the axial wave vectoris discussed for both cylindrical and discrete symmetry.

description: Across three experiments, we investigated how different markers of contrastive focus affect text encoding and retention. Prior work suggests that some contrastive focus markers (e.g. contrastive pitch accents) can enhance long-term memory for discourse; we tested whether this arises from contrast alone or the realisation of linguistic focus in particular. Participants read texts containing true propositions for which a salient alternative was previously mentioned (e.g. The British scientists found the monkey when the French were previously mentioned) and took a memory test. Contrast markers alone (adversative connectives) did not facilitate retention whereas contrastive focus markers (it-clefts) did. However, contrary to what has been observed for other contrastive focus markers (contrastive pitch accents and font emphasis), it-clefts facilitated retention of focused words rather than salient alternatives. We suggest that, consistent with recent linguistic accounts, cognitive and mnemonic effects vary across contrastive focus markers as a function of properties such as exhaustivity.
NEW POLYNUCLEAR LUMINESCENT TRICARBONYL RE(I) COMPLEXES CONTAINING MULTI-NITROGEN HETEROCYCLIC LIGANDS
Creators: name: RAIMONDI, ALESSIO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2012

description: Three different classes of rhenium(I) compounds have been studied in this thesis.
New luminescent complexes of general formula [Re2(?-X)2(CO)6(?-pydz)] have been synthesized, in which the bridging ancillary ligands are OR- or SR- anions. Intriguing electro-chemical properties have been evidenced, differentiating the OR derivatives from the SR one and the previously reported halide analogues. The bis(benzenethiolato) derivative exhibits a very small electrochemical energy gap and absence of photoluminescence. The best emitting properties, closely comparable to those of the dichloro complex, are shown by the bis(pentafluorophenolato) derivative (? = 5.5% in deaerated toluene).
A second class involves new neutral dinuclear complexes of rhenium containing bridging 1,2,4-triazole ligands (4-(p-tolyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole, 4-(n-propyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole, 4-(4?-nitrophenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole). The complexes were designed to obtain a blue shift of the emission compared to the corresponding diazine complexes. The absorption spectra and the electrochemical data show that the rising of the HOMO-LUMO gap has actually occurred, but the intensity of the emission is too weak to have any applicative interest. Experiments trying to obtain complexes in which triazolate ligands coexist with a diazine chromophore are also described. The possible synthesis of analogous derivatives containing 5-aryl tetrazoles (is also under investigation. In both the triazole and tetrazole cases, the new species are examples of a very limited family of molecular complexes in which such ligands are bound to metals in low oxidation state.
Finally, the reactions of the unsaturated tetranuclear cluster [Re4(?3-H)4(CO)12] with diazines bearing substituents in 4 and 5 positions (4,5-bis(trimethylsilyl)pyridazine, 6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopentapyridazine) and with 1,8-naphthyridine have been performed. The reaction pathways and the influence of the substituents on the fragmentation reactions have been investigated. The photophysical properties of the main reaction products have been preliminary determined.

description: Fundamental constants are a cornerstone of our physical laws. Any constant varying in space and/or time would reflect the existence of an almost massless field that couples to matter. This will induce a violation of the universality of free fall. It is thus of utmost importance for our understanding of gravity and of the domain of validity of general relativity to test for their constancy. We thus detail the relations between the constants, the tests of the local position invariance and of the universality of free fall. We then review the main experimental and observational constraints that have been obtained from atomic clocks, the Oklo phenomenon, Solar system observations, meteorites dating, quasar absorption spectra, stellar physics, pulsar timing, the cosmic microwave background and big bang nucleosynthesis. At each step we describe the basics of each system, its dependence with respect to the constants, the known systematic effects and the most recent constraints that have been obtained. We then describe the main theoretical frameworks in which the low-energy constants may actually be varying and we focus on the unification mechanisms and the relations between the variation of different constants. To finish, we discuss the more speculative possibility of understanding their numerical values and the apparent fine-tuning that they confront us with.

Subjects: De Lollis; Colombo; ecdotica; textual criticism

description: Nella monumentale edizione degli Scritti di Cristoforo Colombo Cesare De Lollis diede forse il suo contributo maggiore alla filologia testuale, con una notevole consapevolezza metodologica. Il volume su Cristoforo Colombo nella leggenda e nella storia può considerarsi un ottimo esempio di divulgazione culturale di alto livello, giocata su un delicato equilibrio tra ricostruzione storica e tendenza alla narrazione eroica. L’articolo indaga, attraverso la documentazione ufficiale e fonti epistolari inedite, il contesto culturale in cui vanno collocati tali studi (le celebrazioni per i quattrocento anni della scoperta dell’America) e la posizione che essi occupano all’interno della multiforme produzione del filologo romanzo. Inoltre, sulla scorta di alcuni appunti di De Lollis al maestro Ernesto Monaci in cui sono riassunti gli aspetti piú importanti della sua edizione degli Scritti di Colombo, viene considerata con particolare attenzione l’edizione di alcuni testi che risulti particolarmente significativa a livello metodologico. Infine, si proverà a tracciare un bilancio degli studi colombiani di De Lollis.

The most important De Lollis’ contribution to textual philology is probably his edition of Cristoforo Colombo’s Writings, in which he showed a great methodological consciousness. The book about Cristoforo Colombo nella leggenda e nella storia can be considered a good example of high-level cultural divulgation, based on a delicate balance between the historical reconstruction and the tendency to heroic narration. Using official documents and unpublished epistolary sources, the article explains the cultural context in which these studies must be collocated and the position they have in the various activity of the Romance philologist. Moreover, thanks to some notes sent by De Lollis to Ernesto Monaci, in which he summarized the main points of his Colombo’s edition, the article considers some important Colombo’s documents, whose edition is methodologically very interesting. Finally, the merits and the defects of De Lollis’ works concerning Colombo are discussed and connected with the coeval studies.

description: During language comprehension, comprehenders form mental representations of the described events. We investigate discourse-level and verb-level cues that guide this process. In particular, we investigate how comprehenders represent object states when events are described with manner verbs that do not entail change-of-state (e.g. hit, wash): a potential change-of-state of the object can be inferred but is not semantically required. We report two reaction-time-based experiments (Experiment 1: lexical decision, Experiment 2: self-paced reading) that investigated how rapidly comprehenders process linguistic material associated with potential change-of-state inferences, in contexts where the preceding discourse context and verb-level information are manipulated. In both experiments, we find an interaction between discourse-level information and verb-level information in guiding object state representations. We highlight the need to take into account discourse-level factors in theorising about the cognitive process of understanding the dynamics of event representation during language comprehension.

description: Recent progress on QCD sum rule determinations of the light and heavy quark masses is reported. In the light quark sector a major breakthrough has been made recently in connection with the historical systematic uncertainties due to a lack of experimental information on the pseudoscalar resonance spectral functions. It is now possible to suppress this contribution to the 1% level by using suitable integration kernels in Finite Energy QCD sum rules. This allows to determine the up-, down-, and strange-quark masses with an unprecedented precision of some 8-10%. Further reduction of this uncertainty will be possible with improved accuracy in the strong coupling, now the main source of error. In the heavy quark sector, the availability of experimental data in the vector channel, and the use of suitable multipurpose integration kernels allows to increase the accuracy of the charm- and bottom-quarks masses to the 1% level.

Writing studies in Canada : a people's history
Creators: name: Landry, Dana Leanne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This study answers the question “what is writing studies?” by answering the question, “who is writing studies?” This dissertation attempts a people’s history of writing studies in Canada insofar as it defines writing studies, gives shape to the people who work in it, and begins to offer an explicitly political account of working in this field. Chapter 1 covers the motivation and context for the study, the framing of the research through feminist standpoint theory and survey research informed by life writing, significance of the study, and an outline of the chapters. Chapter 2 provides a literature review and fleshes out the theoretical framework. Chapter 3 details the methodology and methods for a quantitative and qualitative surveyof writing studies professionals in Canada, defined here as subscribers to the list-servs of Canadian Association for the Study of Discourse and Writing (CASDW), the Canadian Association for the Study of Language and Learning (CASLL), the Canadian Writing Centres Association (CWCA), and the Canadian Society for the Study of Rhetoric (CSSR). Chapter 4 situates me as researcher through life writing about my journey into writing studies. Chapter 5 presents data to provide a definition of writing studies in terms of demographic information, institutional locations, and working conditions.Chapter 6 describes a collective identity for writing studies through respondents’ definitions and uses of the term, “writing studies,” their membership in and understanding of the scholarly organizations of writing studies, and their identities as in writing studies or not. Chapter 7 details respondents’ descriptions of their experiences in writing studies in terms of their routes into the field, their perceptions of change, their perceptions of tensions within their institutions as well as their aims to improve teaching and learning conditions. Chapter 8 gathers the data from Chapters 5-7 into a working definition of writing studies and discusses implications and limitations of the research as well as future directions.

Follow-up spectroscopy with Keck/LRIS confirmed 27 candidates as members of the Coma Cluster, a success rate > 60% for targeted objects brighter than M_R = -12. Another 14 candidates may also prove to be Coma members, but low signal-to-noise spectra prevent definitive conclusions. An investigation of the properties and distribution of the Coma UCDs finds these objects to be very similar to UCDs discovered in other environments. The Coma UCDs tend to be clustered around giant galaxies in the cluster core and have colors/metallicity that correlate with the host galaxy. With properties and a distribution similar to that of the Coma cluster globular cluster population, we find strong support for a star cluster origin for the majority of the Coma UCDs. However, a few UCDs appear to have stellar population or structural properties which differentiate them from the old star cluster populations found in the Coma cluster, perhaps indicating that UCDs may form through multiple formation channels.

description: Listeners can successfully interpret the intended meaning of an utterance even when it contains errors or other unexpected anomalies. The present work combines an online measure of attention to sentence referents (visual world eye-tracking) with offline judgments of sentence meaning to disclose how the interpretation of anomalous sentences unfolds over time in order to explore mechanisms of non-literal processing. We use a metalinguistic judgment in Experiment 1 and an elicited imitation task in Experiment 2. In both experiments, we focus on one morphosyntactic anomaly (Subject-verb agreement; The key to the cabinets literally *were … ) and one semantic anomaly (Without; Lulu went to the gym without her hat ?off) and show that non-literal referents to each are considered upon hearing the anomalous region of the sentence. This shows that listeners understand anomalies by overwriting or adding to an initial interpretation and that this occurs incrementally and adaptively as the sentence unfolds.
Planetesimal growth through the accretion of small solids

description: The growth and migration of planetesimals in a young protoplanetary disk is fundamental to the planet formation process. However, in our modeling of early growth, there are a several processes that can inhibit smaller grains from growing to larger sizes, making growth beyond size scales of centimeters difficult. The observational data which are available ( e.g., relics from asteroids in our own solar system as well as gas lifetimes in other systems) suggest that early growth must be rapid. If a small number of 100-km-sized planetesimals do manage to form by some method such as streaming instability, then gas drag effects would enable such a body to efficiently accrete smaller solids from beyond its Hill sphere. This enhanced accretion cross-section, paired with dense gas and large populations of small solids enables a planet to grow at much faster rates. As the planetesimals accrete pebbles, they experience an additional angular momentum exchange, which could cause slow inward drift and a consequent back-reaction on growth rates. We present self-consistent hydrodynamic simulations with direct particle integration and gas-drag coupling to estimate the rate of planetesimal growth due to pebble accretion. We explore a range of particle sizes and disk conditions using a wind tunnel simulation. We also perform numerical analyses of planetesimal growth and drift rates for a range of distances from the star. The results of our models indicate that rapid growth of planeteismals under our assumed model must be at orbital distances inwards of 1 AU, and that at such distances centimeter-sized pebbles and larger are required for maximized accretion. We find that growth beyond 1 AU is possible under certain limited, optimized conditions.

description: Mitochondrial bioenergetic failure, with severe ATP depletion and reactive oxygen species (ROS) overgeneration occurs during cerebral ischemia. We hypothesized that stimulation of mitochondrial biogenesis could help reduce cerebral ischemic damage. We observed that levels of proliferator-activated receptor ? coactivator 1? and nuclear respiratory factor-1 were reduced in primary mouse cortical neurons under oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). OGD also reduced neuronal mitochondrial mass and function, as assessed by mtDNA measurement and citrate synthase activity. The glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) inhibitor SB216763 activated an efficient mitochondrial biogenesis program in control cortical neurons and counteracted the OGD-mediated mitochondrial biogenesis impairment. Further, SB induced an antioxidant response that reduced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation and ischemic neuronal damage. Two other structurally unrelated GSK-3 inhibitors mimicked SB216763 effects. In presence of diverse mitochondrial inhibitors the protective effects of SB216763 were abolished. When systemically administered in vivo, SB216763 reduced the infarct size and recovered the loss of mitochondrial DNA in mice subjected to permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion. Finally, we observed that levels of mitochondrial biogenesis markers were induced by metformin or SRT2183 (a Sirtris molecule that activates SIRT1) treatments. Moreover, metformin and SRT2183 reduced OGD-mediated ischemic neuronal damage. We conclude that strategies to restore mitochondrial biogenesis impairment during cerebral ischemia and to reduce reactive oxygen species might pave the way of novel promising therapies for future treatment of cerebral ischemia.

description: Early curricular exposure to interprofessional education (IPE) is intended to acclimatize health professional trainees to shared-care in the practice settings they will ultimately join. However, IPE activities typically reside outside actual organizational and social systems in which interprofessional care is delivered. We aimed to explore how pharmacist trainees experience collaborator and communicator competency roles during team-based workplace-based learning. Participants maintained written diaries reflecting on interprofessional collaboration and communication during an eight-week hospital clerkship. Diary entries and transcripts from semi-structured follow-up interviews were analyzed from the social constructivist perspective using reflective thematic analysis. Participant accounts of on-ward activities represented most collaborator and communicator roles outlined in pharmacy and interprofessional competency frameworks, but were predominantly between the pharmacist trainee and physicians. Pharmacist trainees did not routinely engage with other health professions on a daily basis. Additionally, reported encounters with other team members were typically information exchanges and not episodes of authentic interdependent or shared care. Interactions were almost completely devoid of perceived interpersonal or role conflict. These findings offer insight into how pharmacist trainees perceive and develop competencies for team-based care. Further work is required to understand how such limited scope of interprofessional communication and collaboration might ultimately impair quality patient care.

description: We prove that the Svetlichny's inequality can be derived from the existence of joint measurements and the principle of no-signaling. Then we show that, on the basis of quantum measurement assumption, it would imply the breach of causality if the magnitude of violation of Svetlichny's inequality exceeds quantum bound.

description: Context. The high-redshift (z = 4.72) blazar J1430+4204 produced a major radio outburst in 2005. Such outbursts are usually associated with the emergence of a new component in the inner radio jet. Aims. We searched for possible changes in the radio structure on milli-arcsecond angular scales, to determine physical parameters that characterise the relativistic jet ejected from the centre of this source. Methods. We analysed 15-GHz radio interferometric images obtained with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) before and after the peak of the outburst. Results. We did not identify any significant new jet component over a period of 569 days. We estimated the Doppler factor, the Lorentz factor, and the apparent transverse speed of a putative jet component using three different methods. The likely small jet angle to the line of sight and our values of the apparent transverse speed are consistent with not detecting a new jet feature.

description: Inflammatory bowel diseases pathogenesis reflects an integrated activation of signaling events within and between components of the intestine including the epithelial cells, nervous system, immune cells, endothelial cells, and the extracellular matrix [16]. All intestinal resident cells are involved in IBD [12]. Many reports have demonstrated damage to the intestinal microvasculature, epithelial barrier dysfunction, autonomic nerve fiber destruction, as well as myofibroblastic transformation of smooth muscle cells, providing solid evidence for the physical and functional involvement of non immune cells in IBD pathogenesis [18-21]. The enormous complexity of IBD pathophysiology requires a systematic approach to identify the molecular events that cause and sustain inflammation. During my three years of PhD I have focused my attention mainly on the role of two types of non immune cells in the IBD pathogenesis: epithelial cells and endothelial cells. Therefore the objectives of my thesis can be summarized in two principal aims:

1. The involvement of intestinal epithelial cells in the IBD pathogenesis
2. The involvement of intestinal endothelial cells in the IBD pathogenesis.

description: Collaborative clinical reasoning (CCR) is part of interprofessional collaborative practice and aims to negotiate and manage patient problems. An integrated care pathway (ICP) can be used as a framework for developing comprehensive patient care, typically in a clinical setting. This study aims to explore the CCR process in undergraduate interprofessional teams and the use of ICP as guidance in discussing a patient’s problem and its comprehensive management. This is a qualitative study following phenomenology and was performed in an interprofessional education (IPE) program held by Health Science Cluster Universitas Indonesia. A total of four observations involving 40 students and four focus-group discussions involving 18 students from different health professions backgrounds were conducted to explore the CCR process using the ICP framework. In-depth interviews with four tutors from different health professions backgrounds and document analysis were also conducted as triangulation processes. This study shows that CCR was held in two stages – individual and group. The ICP framework could be used as a guiding tool in the CCR process to discuss the patient’s management and discharge plan. This study also demonstrates that there are several challenges in this learning process, including the clinical case used in the discussion, the need for prior knowledge and previous exposure to IPE and the ICP framework, and health professions’ dominance during the discussion. This study provides evidence on learning of CCR using the ICP framework as a guiding tool in a pre-licensure IPE program. This approach is useful for preparing students to develop an interprofessional, comprehensive, and holistic health care plan and to help them understand the roles of each profession.
