Subjects: dystopian storytelling; The Handmaid’s Tale; catastrophic imagery; Mr. Robot; The Walking Dead

description: The storytelling of the end of the world has always represented in the cultural horizon an essential speculative principle, because the fear for the catastrophe is one of the most effective principles to mark the collective imaginary; in the last years, the perverse attraction for global destruction has been re-launched by popular culture. This essay examines how, in the age of international terrorism, natural cataclysms and economic crisis, several series (The Handmaid’s Tale, Mr. Robot, The Walking Dead) and videos (The Suburbs – Arcade Fire, Incantevole – Subsonica, Waiting for a Sign – Scratch Massive ft. Koudlam), tell us about the collapse of the liberal-democratic system without a positive alternative, where dystopia takes on a metaphorical meaning.

description: What effect, if any, does a change in type of government have on the degree of media personalisation? This article argues that the different incentives that single- and multi-party governments provide to individual politicians and parties affect the level of media personalisation. Where the parties are more involved (i.e. multi-party coalitions) there will be less media personalisation. In contrast, where a single individual can command the party, there will be more media personalisation. The article tests these assumptions with a novel dataset created from over 1 million newspaper articles covering a continuous 24-year period in the UK. It finds that the switch to a coalition government in 2010 indeed changed the dynamics of media personalisation. These findings not only provide key insights into the phenomenon of personalisation but also enable us to better understand some of the potential consequences of changes in government types for power dynamics and democratic accountability.

description: In the Air Force Research Laboratory Additive Manufacturing Challenge Series, melted track geometries for a laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process of Inconel 625 were used to challenge and validate computational models predicting melting and solidification behavior. The impact of process parameters upon single-track single-layer, multi-track single-layer, and single-track multi-layer L-PBF processes was studied. To accomplish this, a physics-based thermal-fluid model was developed and calibrated using a proper generalized decomposition surrogate model, then compared against the experimental measurements. The thermal-fluid model was enhanced through the usage of an adaptive mesh and residual heat factor (RHF) model, based on the scanning strategy, for improved efficiency and accuracy. It is found that this calibration approach is not only robust and efficient, but it also enables the thermal-fluid model to make predictions which quantitatively agree well with the experimental measurements. The adaptive mesh provides over a 10-times speedup as compared to a uniform mesh. The RHF model improves predictive accuracy by over 60%, particularly near starting and ending points of the melted tracks, which are greatly affected by the thermal behavior of adjacent tracks. Moreover, the thermal-fluid model is shown to potentially predict lack-of-fusion defects and provide insights into the defect generation process in L-PBF.

Verso una riconsiderazione dell’Emergentismo Britannico
Creators: name: Walmsley, Joel
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Torino
Year: 2019
Subjects: emergenza; emergentismo britannico; Charlie Dunbar Broad; causalità discendente; sopravvenienza

description: Following McLaughlin (1992), it has become commonplace to refer to a specific group of theorists – Mill, Bain, Lewes, Morgan, Alexander and Broad – as the “British Emergentists”. But whilst McLaughlin’s seminal discussion focused on the similarities between these views (in order to diagnose the downfall of the tradition), the present paper argues that the differences between them are just as important. Whilst the views of Mill and Lewes emphasize an epistemic characterization of emergence, Morgan and Alexander argue for a much stronger, or ontological thesis. C.D. Broad’s 1925 view stands somewhere in between those extremes and, given contemporary desiderata, is in fact the most defensible – and promising – variant of the “British Emergentist” tradition.

description: Modern studies of societal phenomena rely on the availability of large datasets capturing attributes and
activities of synthetic, city-level, populations. For instance, in epidemiology, synthetic population datasets are
necessary to study disease propagation and intervention measures before implementation. In social science,
synthetic population datasets are needed to understand how policy decisions might affect preferences and
behaviors of individuals. In public health, synthetic population datasets are necessary to capture diagnostic
and procedural characteristics of patient records without violating confidentialities of individuals. To generate
such datasets over a large set of categorical variables, we propose the use of the maximum entropy principle
to formalize a generative model such that in a statistically well-founded way we can optimally utilize given
prior information about the data, and are unbiased otherwise. An e�cient inference algorithm is designed
to estimate the maximum entropy model, and we demonstrate how our approach is adept at estimating
underlying data distributions. We evaluate this approach against both simulated data and US census datasets,
and demonstrate its feasibility using an epidemic simulation application.
Emergenza piatta

Subjects: emergenza; emergenza diacronica; emergenza piatta; causalità; olismo; fondamentalità

description: The main contention of the present paper is that current approaches to ontological emergence are not comprehensive, in that they share a common bias that make them blind to some conceptual space available to ontological emergence and, accordingly, to some clear-cut empirical cases of such an emergence. The bias in question is twofold. It consists in considering whatever emerges to be both systematically simultaneous with, as well as belonging to a higher level with respect to, what it emerges from. What I aim at showing in this paper is that putting aside such a twofold postulate allows for devising and exploring the prospects of an alternative perspective on ontological emergence, referred to as “flat emergence”. More particularly, I argue that sketching a theory of such an emergence is relevant in two respects: one conceptual, the other empirical. Not only does flat emergence constitute another viable way to fulfill the initial emergentist promise, but it also allows for making sense of some emergence ascriptions that synchronic and/or hierarchical accounts are unable to accommodate.

description: Our best description of spacetime is provided by general relativity – yet, this theory is not thought to be fundamental. Instead, it is expected to be replaced by a theory of quantum gravity, which may not feature spacetime fundamentally. Models of quantum cosmology use quantum gravity to describe the ‘beginning’ of spacetime from the ‘big bang’ state, as well as the evolution of the universe at the level of quantum gravity. In this essay, I discuss (I) the conditions under which spacetime might be said to emerge from the physics of quantum gravity and models of quantum cosmology, (II) the challenges that the case-study of spacetime emergence poses for our usual understanding of emergence in philosophy, and (III) the appropriate conceptions of emergence for characterising the examples of emergent spacetime from quantum gravity and quantum cosmology.

Sull'inadeguatezza della mereologia formale husserliana per l'ontologia regionale degli insiemi chimici

Subjects: phenomenological epistemology; formal ontology; mereology; regional ontology; organic wholes; chemical wholes

description: In his book, History as a Science and the System of the Sciences, Thomas Seebohm articulates the view that history can serve to mediate between the sciences of explanation and the sciences of interpretation, that is, between the natural sciences and the human sciences. Among other things, Seebohm analyzes history from a phenomenological perspective to reveal the material foundations of the historical human sciences in the lifeworld. As part of this examination, Seebohm devotes a section to discussing Husserl’s formal mereology because he understands that a reflective analysis of the foundations of the historical sciences requires a reflective analysis of the objects of the historical sciences, that is, of concrete organic wholes (i.e., social groups) and of their parts. Seebohm concludes that Husserl’s mereological ontology needs to be altered with regard to the historical sciences because the relations between organic wholes and their parts are not summative relations. In this paper, I extend Seebohm’s conclusion to the ontology of chemical wholes as objects of quantum chemistry and to argue that Husserl’s formal mereology is descriptively inadequate for this regional ontology as well. This conclusion is relevant for the question of the reducibility of chemical wholes to their parts and of the reducibility of chemistry to physics, issues that have been of central importance within the philosophy of chemistry for the past several decades.

description: A spatial analysis of growth and convergence in Italian provinces: the role of road infrastructure. Regional Studies. The role of road infrastructure in reducing economic disparities is debated in both Europe and the United States. During the 1960s, huge investments in highways significantly reduced the time run between north and south Italy. A spatial analysis of convergence is performed. Results show that the effect of road infrastructure investment was significant but accompanied by a strong polarization between north and south (also emerging from non-parametric analysis) that it failed to prevent, possibly because investment in the south was not large enough to close the accessibility gap with the centre–north, a gap that appears to persist during the subsequent years.
On emergence and causality in the living world

description: We discuss the concept of emergence, and try to show that it is one of the most significant issues in the study of complex living systems. We stress particularly that emergent properties possess a specific causal power, which is not reducible to the power of their constituents. The emergence of physiological functions is profoundly related to the self-organized dynamics of biological systems. The increasing complexity of cellular and organismal activity favors the emergence of novelties and the integration of the active parts into an autonomous whole.

description: Das 5-dimensionale systemische St. Galler Coaching Modell ist eine wertorientierte Coaching-Methode, welche sich tiefenpsychologischer Elemente bedient. Während das Modell wissenschaftlich validiert und als wirksam befunden wurde, standen empirische Erkenntnisse bezüglich dessen Wirkfaktoren bislang aus. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht daher, inwieweit die methodischen Wirkfaktoren eines Coachings nach Grawe et al. (1994) und Greif (2008) durch das St. Galler Coaching Modell umgesetzt werden. Dabei werden die wahrgenommenen Wirkfaktoren im Einzelcoaching aus der Perspektive der Klientel untersucht. In problemzentrierten qualitativen Interviews wurden zwölf Personen zu ihrer Coaching-Erfahrung befragt und deren Antworten auf Hinweise zu Wirkfaktoren ausgewertet. Dabei wurde festgestellt, dass sämtliche methodischen Wirkfaktoren von Greif (2008) durch die befragte Klientel wahrgenommen wurden. Deren Umsetzung im St. Galler Coaching Modell konnte ausserdem mittels einer Dokumentanalyse theoretisch nachgewiesen werden. Als wichtigste Wirkfaktoren aus Sicht der Klientel zeigten sich die Affektaktivierung und –kalibrierung sowie die wertorientierte Selbst- und Problemreflexion.

description: We have aimed to investigate the relationship between use of angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin-receptor-blocker (ARB) drugs and acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) and in-hospital mortality in hypertensive Covid-19 patients. Consecutive 1345 patients diagnosed with Covid-19 between April and October 2020 who met inclusion criteria were divided into two groups based on presence and absence of AHRF and mortality. The groups were compared regarding epidemiological, clinical, radiological, laboratory findings and treatments methods. The patient groups ACEI, ARB and other antihypertensive drugs (non-ACEI/ARB) were compared regarding same parameters. Median age was 68 (60–76) years in the patient group including 805 (59.9.1%) females. Of the patients, 475 (35.3%), 644 (47.9%) and 226 (16.8%) were using ACEIs, ARBs and non-ACEI/ARB, respectively. AHRF and in-hospital mortality developed in 1053 (78.3%) and 290 (21.6%) patients, respectively. Age, gender, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus (DM), neutrophil, lymphocyte, creatinine, D-dimer, C-reactive protein (CRP), ACEI, beta blocker and aspartate transaminase (AST) found statistically significant in the univariable logistic regression performed to identify independent predictors of mortality were included multivariable logistic regression model. Age (OR: 1.066, 95%CI: 1.049–1.083; p p = .001), neutrophil (OR: 1.041, 95%CI: 1.007–1.077; p = .019), creatinine (OR: 1.178, 95%CI: 1.048–1.325; p = .006), CRP (OR: 1.008, 95%CI: 1.006–1.010; p p = .042), AST (OR: 1.005, 95%CI: 1.001–1.010; p = .010) were found associated with in-hospital mortality. In our study, it was not detected clinically significant difference between three groups with regard to their relation with in-hospital mortality.

description: Recent privacy scandals such as Cambridge Analytica and the Nightingale Project show that data sharing must be carefully managed and regulated to prevent data misuse. Data protection law, legal frameworks, and technological solutions tend to focus on controller responsibilities as opposed to protecting data subjects from the beginning of the data collection process. Using a case study of how data subjects can be better protected during data curation, we propose that a co-created data commons can protect individual autonomy over personal data through collective curation and rebalance power between data subjects and controllers.

description: Physarum polycephalum, or slime mold, is an acellular organism extensively studied in scientific experiments and artistic engagements. Artist and critical engineer Sarah Grant collaborates with architect and researcher Selena Savic on hybrid bio-networking experiments with slime mold as an approximation of a computer network. They study communication as an organic process, rethinking networks’ inherent technicity through encounters with a living organism. They discuss network imaginaries situated in the way slime mold forages for food: at once transmitting and materializing its experiences, constrained and conditioned by the environment. The results of this work are imaginative accounts of adaptive network infrastructure and protocols.

description: Motivation: Genome-wide measurements of paired miRNA and gene expression data have
enabled the prediction of competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs). It has been shown that the
sponge effect mediated by protein-coding as well as non-coding ceRNAs can play an important
regulatory role in the cell in health and disease. Therefore, many computational methods for the
computational identification of ceRNAs have been suggested. In particular, methods based on
Conditional Mutual Information (CMI) have shown promising results. However, the currently
available implementation is slow and cannot be used to perform computations on a large scale.
Results: Here, we present JAMI, a Java tool that uses a non-parametric estimator for CMI
values from gene and miRNA expression data. We show that JAMI speeds up the computation of
ceRNA networks by a factor of 70 compared to currently available implementations. Further,
JAMI supports multi-threading to make use of common multi-core architectures for further
performance gain.

description: An advanced stage, centrally localized invasive tumor is a major cause of sudden death in lung cancer patients. Currently, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, laser ablation, or surgical resection if possible are the available state-of-the-art treatments but none of these guarantee remedy or long-term relief and are often associated with fatal complications. Allowing localized chemotherapy, by direct and confined drug delivery only at the tumor site, could be a promising option for preoperative down staging or palliative therapy. Here we report the localized and targeted application of intra tumor delivery of chemotherapeutics using a novel device based on the principle of electrospray.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

description: Normal and sickle erythrocytes, mitochondria, chloroplasts and microsomes were bound in a physiologically active site to silylated siliceous surfaces. In order to optimize binding the following parameters were studied: silane surface treatment, cell and organelle preparation, temperature and time of contact of the cells and organelles needed to achieve immobilization. Long chain alkyl simulated surfaces demonstrated good affinity for cell organelles, but only fair affinity for erythrocytes. Optimum surface treatments for binding erythrocytes are not simply described, but apparently mixed hydrophobic and polar functionality is required. While chloroplasts and microsomes bond readily at 10-30°, both erythrocytes and mitochondria require somewhat higher temperatures for optimum binding. Once immobilized the erythrocytes remain bound at low temperatures. The binding of mitochondria is labile at low temperatures.

description: In this study I examine the effects of exposure to political content on survey satisficing in the United States. I theorize that American political content, due in part to its affective dimension in the present U.S. context, will deplete respondents' cognitive resources more intensively than content with identical item design from nonpolitical topic domains, leading to increased satisficing. I present the results of two preregistered survey experiments conducted in 2024 on the YouGov (N = 3,600) and Prolific (N = 1,245) platforms. In both studies I experimentally manipulate the topic of question batteries, and measure satisficing through attention checks, timing, and the data quality of downstream question batteries. These studies provide evidence that exposure to political content can increase satisficing behavior among survey respondents. The studies show that researchers should take care in the ordering of their questionnaires when surveys include content that invokes political actors, political parties and ideologies.

description: As part of our work on prospecting of Cinnamomum of the Western Ghats, chemical compositions, antioxidant, α-amylase, α-glucosidase and lipase inhibitory activities of leaf essential oil (EO) of Cinnamomum chemungianum were evaluated. Chemical characterisation of the cumin scented leaf EO from five locations in the southern Western Ghats revealed that they were highly varied. EO from Kannikatti (CC2) exhibited good α-amylase inhibitory activity with IC50 value of 5.97 μg/mL, whereas the EOs from Chemungi (CC1) and Athirumala (CC5) showed better α-glucosidase inhibition with IC50 of 56.65 and 62.12 μg/mL, respectively. The EOs from Chemungi, Kannikatti and Athirumala were found to inhibit lipase with IC50 of 919.75, 923.17 and 838.46 μg/mL, respectively. The EO of C. chemungianum may be used in food products as it has cumin scent and mild inhibitory activities.

description: A major goal in haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) research is to define conditions for the expansion of HSCs or multipotent progenitor cells (MPPs). Since human HSCs/MPPs cannot be isolated, NOD/SCID repopulating cell (SRC) assays emerged as the standard for the quantification of very primitive haematopoietic cell. However, in addition to HSCs/MPPs, lympho-myeloid primed progenitors (LMPPs) were recently found to contain SRC activities, challenging this assay as clear HSC/MPP readout. Because our revised model of human haematopoiesis predicts that HSCs/MPPs can be identified as CD133+CD34+ cells containing erythroid potentials, we investigated the potential of human mesenchymal and conventional murine stromal cells to support expansion of HSCs/MPPs. Even though all stromal cells supported expansion of CD133+CD34+ progenitors with long-term myeloid and long-term lymphoid potentials, erythroid potentials were exclusively found within erythro-myeloid CD133lowCD34+ cell fractions. Thus, our data demonstrate that against the prevailing assumption co-cultures on human mesenchymal and murine stromal cells neither promote expansion nor maintenance of HSCs and MPPs.

description: This research was conducted to identify the aroma and aroma-active compounds of Berberis crataegina for the first time. Volatile profile of B. crataegina was obtained using the purge and trap extraction method with dichloromethane. Gas chromatography was coupled to mass spectrometry (GC–MS) allowed the quantitative and qualitative detection of 22 compounds in the sample. Aldehydes were the main chemical group in the sample and followed by aromatic alcohols and lactone. Aroma extract dilution analysis was implemented for the specification of key odourants of B. crataegina. In total, eight key odourants were detected in the extract of the sample, using GC–MS–Olfactometry and aldehydes were the leading chemical group. The key odourants, found to be contributing to the overall aroma in B. crataegina, were nonanal (FD = 1024; green, flowery), hexanal (FD = 512; green) and linalool (FD = 256; flowery, rose) because of high FD factors.
title: Identifying global-wind patterns driving sub-seasonal surface- ozone variability

description: Ground-level ozone has been linked to increased mortality due to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Being able to predict when surface ozone will be higher than normal would allow us to better prepare for poor air quality days. To predict surface ozone weeks in advance, we need to identify global wind patterns with significant relationships to surface ozone on sub-seasonal timescales. We hypothesized that surface ozone over the United States on these time scales is influenced by two large-scale processes: The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO). ENSO is a tropical tropospheric phenomenon that involves coupling between the atmosphere and the ocean; it is composed of a warm phase (El Niño) and a cold phase (La Niña). The QBO is a tropical stratospheric wind oscillation between an easterly and westerly phase. phenomena cause changes in global wind patterns and thus in weather conditions, which in turn could impact U.S. air quality. We composited 8 hour averaged Maximum Daily Ozone data (MDA8) by the two phases of ENSO and the QBO. Our results showed that during El Niño conditions, ozone tends to be lower than normal over the Northwestern and Central U.S., whereas for La Niña conditions ozone tends to be higher over the Eastern U.S., with these relationships varying by season. Additionally, the QBO easterly phase tends to be associated with higher ozone concentrations across the U.S., but lower concentrations over the South and Southeast; the opposite is found for the westerly phase. We showed that predicting ozone using the QBO and ENSO might be possible.

description: In dem folgenden Kapitel zeigen wir erstens auf, wie verbreitet örtlich und zeitlich flexible Arbeit – kurz Mobil-Flex-Arbeit – in der Schweiz ist (Abschnitt 5.2.1). Zweitens wird heraus-gearbeitet, dass die konkrete Ausgestaltung von Mobil-Flex-Arbeit in Organisationen darüber entscheidet, ob eher positive oder eher kritische Auswirkungen auf die Gesundheit zu erwarten sind (Abschnitt 5.2.2). Insbesondere ist zu unterscheiden, inwieweit Flexibilitätsanforderungen vom Betrieb kapazitätsorientiert festgelegt werden oder ausgehend von den Bedürfnissen der einzelnen Erwerbstätigen Flexibilitätsoptionen genutzt werden können. Da die Diskussionen zu Mobil-Flex-Arbeit auch Überlegungen zur optimalen Büro- und Raumgestaltung neu entfacht haben, wird hierauf ausführlich eingegangen: Mobilität und Flexibilität halten innerhalb der Büros Einzug und neuere Bürokonzepte berücksichtigen gezielt sowohl die Mobilität der Mitarbeitenden wie auch die Vielfalt der Arbeitsaktivitäten und die damit verbundene flexible Nutzung von unterschiedlichen Arbeitsorten, -zonen und –räumen. An-hand von zwei konkreten Beispielen wird deutlich, worauf bei Mobil-Flex-Arbeit sowie bei der Bürogestaltung zu achten ist (Abschnitt 5.2.3). Im Abschnitt 5.2.4 leiten wir Empfehlungen für die positive Gestaltung von Mobil-Flex-Arbeit ab.
Margin Reduction in Prostate Radiation Therapy

description: This thesis investigates methods to safely reduce the treatment margin applied during external beam radiotherapy for prostate cancer. This margin is applied to allow the prostate to move within the pelvis, but still receive an adequate radiation dose. The treatment margin also includes part of the rectum and bladder, which receive some radiation dose and consequently cause treatment toxicity. To reduce treatment margin and, therefore, treatment toxicity, we investigate a diet intervention which aims to reduce the movement of the prostate. We also investigate an adaptive margin, where a smaller margin is applied when reduced prostate movement is predicted.

description: Internet-of-Things (IoT) is characterized by the incorporation of resource constrained devices that are inter-networked in an ad-hoc manner. Given the diversity of the devices and the operating conditions, it is important to assess the trustworthiness of IoT nodes and factor it in the network management. Contemporary trust evaluation and management schemes found in the literature mostly consider observable network-level behavior parameters and initially assume that all nodes are equally trustworthy owing to the absence of historical data or background. Such an equal trust initialization approach raises concerns in terms of accuracy, fairness, and adaptability. This paper aims to mitigate these shortcomings by proposing a novel trust evaluation and aggregation framework. Our framework leverages hardware primitives such as Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) to assign trust scores at the network bootstrapping phase. The paper explores the establishment of both direct and recommendation based indirect trust score evaluation and detection of irregularities to ensure the dynamic, safe, and reliable operation of the network. Simulation outcomes demonstrate that the trust value computed through this mechanism effectively and precisely mirrors the node’s credibility.

description: This study evaluates the antidepressant-like effect and analysed the qualitative and quantitative 74 phenolic standards of ethyl acetate fraction from Tabernaemontana catharinensis leaves. Acute administration of fraction in mice reduced the immobility time in forced swimming and tail suspension tests confirming its antidepressant-like activity. The anti-immobility effect elicited by this fraction was prevented by the pretreatment of mice with PCPA (100 mg kg−1), ketanserin (5 mg kg−1), SCH 23,390 (0.05 mg kg−1) or yohimbine (1 mg kg−1). A sub effective dose of the fraction produced a synergistic effect with fluoxetine (5 mg kg−1). Chromatographic analysis identified 4-hydroxybenzoic and p-coumaric acids in the ethyl acetate fraction from T. catharinensis. Capillary electrophoresis presented 7.34 ± 0.02 mg g−1 of p-coumaric acid concentration in the fraction. Therefore, it is possible that antidepressant-like effect elicited by ethyl acetate fraction from T. catharinensis be dependent on the p-coumaric acid.
