title: Investigating the pathophysiology of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis using human induced pluripotent stem cell technology
Creators: name: Devlin, Anna-Claire
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2016

description: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating, adult onset, neurodegenerative disease which remains largely untreatable and incurable, reflecting an incomplete understanding of the key pathogenic mechanisms that underlie motoneuron (MN) loss in the disease. Through the use of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSCs) technology, cells from the human central nervous system can be studied at a range of time points, including those prior to overt pathology, in order to understand early causative events in ALS. In the present study, human iPSC-derived MNs and astrocytes were used to study the pathophysiology of ALS. Whole-cell patch clamp recording techniques were utilised to investigate whether the functional properties of human iPSC-derived MNs are altered in cells derived from ALS patients compared to those from healthy controls. Patient iPSC-derived MNs harbouring C9ORF72 or TARDBP mutations display an initial period of hyperexcitability followed by a progressive loss of action potential output due to decreases in voltage-activated Na+ and K+ currents. These changes occur in the absence of changes in cell viability. Given evidence in support of non-cell autonomous disease mechanisms in ALS, the potential involvement of interactions between neurons and astrocytes in the pathophysiological phenotype were next investigated. Patient iPSC-derived astrocytes harbouring C9ORF72 or TARDBP G298S mutations cause a loss of functional output in control iPSC-derived MNs, due to a progressive decrease in voltage-activated Na+ and K+ currents. These data show that patient iPSC-derived astrocytes can induce pathophysiological changes in control human iPSC-derived MNs which are similar to those revealed in patient iPSC-derived MNs. This study also utilizes pharmacological agents and genetic editing to demonstrate that the pathophysiological phenotype can be altered. Overall, this study implicates MN dysfunction, potentially due to non-cell autonomous disease mechanisms, as an early contributor to downstream degenerative pathways that ultimately lead to MN loss in ALS.

description: In this review we present recent theoretical results concerning investigations of single subsurface defects by means of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). These investigations are based on the effect of quantum interference between the electron partial waves that are directly transmitted through the contact and the partial waves scattered by the defect. In particular, we have shown the possibility imaging the defect position below a metal surface by means of STM. Different types of subsurface defects have been discussed: point-like magnetic and non-magnetic defects, magnetic clusters in a nonmagnetic host metal, and non-magnetic defects in a s-wave superconductor. The effect of Fermi surface anisotropy has been analyzed. Also, results of investigations of the effect of a strong magnetic field to the STM conductance of a tunnel point contact in the presence of a single defect has been presented.

An investigation of the genetic and epigenetic factors underlying escape from X-chromosome inactivation
Creators: name: Balaton, Bradley
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) is the process by which one of the X chromosomes in XX females is silenced to express similar levels of X-linked genes with XY males. This silencing is incomplete as some genes escape from XCI and other genes vary their XCI status across populations, tissues or samples. Here I derive consensus XCI status calls in humans, extend XCI status calls across species, and determine the relationship between XCI status and various epigenetic marks. I aggregated XCI status calls from multiple studies, deriving XCI status calls for 639 human genes. I found 12% of genes escaping from XCI, 8% variably escaping XCI, and 7% discordant across studies. To make XCI status calls across species I obtained DNA methylation data for 12 species, allowing us to generate an average of 387 XCI calls per species. Overall, 12% of genes escaped XCI, with mouse an outlier with only 5%. Of the genes with predictions across at least four species, 74.8% of them were entirely consistent and only 6% had more than one inconsistent species. Many genes were seen to have primate-specific escape from XCI, while only one gene had an artiodactyla-specific XCI status. The consensus XCI status calls were compared to DNA methylation and commonly analyzed histone marks. I found the expected trend where repressive marks were enriched at genes subject to XCI and activating marks were enriched at genes escaping XCI; however, the histone marks had a large overlap between levels seen at genes subject to XCI and genes escaping from XCI. Only DNAme could accurately predict an individual gene’s XCI status. I combined the marks and found that we could make XCI status calls with 75% accuracy for genes escaping from XCI and 90% accuracy for genes subject to XCI. The marks with the greatest contribution to this predictor were DNAme, H3K27me3 and H3K4me3. The results of these projects further our understanding of which genes escape from XCI, which may be important for analysis of sexual dimorphism and further provide us a means to examine how silencing may be regulated in humans and across mammals.

title: New methods and applications for context aware movement analysis (CAMA)
Creators: name: da Silva Brum Bastos, Vanessa
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews

description: Recent years have seen a rapid growth in movement research owing to new technologies contributing to the miniaturization and reduced costs of tracking devices. Similar trends have occurred in how environmental data are being collected (e.g., through satellites, unmanned aerial vehicles, and sensor networks). However, the development of analytical techniques for movement research has failed to keep pace with the data collection advances. There is a need for new methods capable of integrating increasingly detailed movement data with a myriad of contextual data - termed context aware movement analysis (CAMA). CAMA investigates more than movement geometry, by including biological and environmental conditions that may influence movement. However, there is a shortage of methods relating movement patterns to contextual factors, which is still limiting our ability to extract meaningful information from movement data. This thesis contributes to this methodological research gap by assessing the state-of-the art for CAMA within movement ecology and human mobility research, developing innovative methods to consider the spatio-temporal differences between movement data and contextual data and exploring computational methods that allow identification of patterns in contextualized movement data. We developed new methods and demonstrated how they facilitated and improved the integration between high frequency tracking data and temporally dynamic environmental variables. One of the methods, multi-channel sequence analysis, is then used to discover varying human behaviour relative to weather conditions in a large human GPS tracking dataset from Scotland. The second method is developed for combing multi-sensor satellite imagery (i.e., image fusion) of differing spatial and temporal resolutions. This method is applied to a GPS tracking data on maned wolves in Brazil to understand fine-scale movement behaviours related to vegetation changes across seasons. In summary, this thesis provides a significant development in terms of new ideas and techniques for performing CAMA for human and wildlife movement studies.

description: The aim of deliverable 1.1. is to prepare criteria to select tests for validation and to select laboratories for TPS (test performance study). Criteria for selection of tests for the TPS for each pest have been set (see Tables 7-12). These criteria have been divided in five groups: 1) validation data, 2) applicability, 3) protocols, 4) chemicals and 5) equipment. For selection of participants for the TPS selection criteria have also been set (see Table 13). Amongst the most important criteria for selection for participants of TPS are technical expertise for the pest group and the method, authorization to work with the specific pest and that the participating laboratory has quality assurance in place. These criteria enable evaluation of whether participants are proficient to perform the tests, have the necessary equipment and a permit to work with viable regulated organism. The scope of the testing for specific pests was set and common rules for each selection process was defined.
Determining Habitability: Which exoEarths should we search for life?

description: Within the next few years, the first Earth-mass planets will be discovered around other stars. Some of those worlds will certainly lie within the classical "habitable zone" of their parent stars, and we will quickly move from knowing of no exoEarths to knowing many. For the first time, we will be in a position to carry out a detailed search for the first evidence of life beyond our Solar System. However, such observations will be hugely taxing and time consuming to perform, and it is almost certain that far more potentially habitable worlds will be known than it is possible to study. It is therefore important to catalogue and consider the various effects which make a promising planet more or less suitable for the development of life. In this work, we review the various planetary, dynamical and stellar influences that could influence the habitability of exoEarths. The various influences must be taken in concert when we attempt to decide where to focus our first detailed search for life. While there is no guarantee that any given planet will be inhabited, it is vitally important to ensure that we focus our time and effort on those planets most likely to yield a positive result.

Beyond binary hyperparameters in deep transfer learning for image classification
Creators: name: Plested, Josephine
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2023

description: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved many successes in image classification in recent years. It has been consistently demonstrated that CNNs work best when there is abundant labelled data available for the task and large deep models can be trained. However, there are many real world scenarios where the requirement for large amounts of training data to get the best performance using modern very deep neural networks cannot be met. In these scenarios transfer learning can help improve performance. This thesis defines deep transfer learning and the problem it attempts to solve in relation to image classification. It provides a new taxonomy of the applications of transfer learning for image classification. This taxonomy makes it easier to see overarching patterns where transfer learning has been effective and where it has failed to fulfill its potential. This thesis also provides the first comprehensive review of deep transfer learning as it relates to image classification overall and suggestions for future research directions in the field. While there have been recent general surveys of deep transfer learning, and ones that relate to particular specialised target image classification tasks, there have been none that review the area as a whole. It is important for future progress in the field that all current knowledge on deep transfer learning in image classification is collated and the overarching patterns are analysed and discussed. The aim of this thesis is to advance the state-of-the-art in deep transfer learning as it relates to image classification. This applies particularly for datasets where the number of training examples is small. Its main contributions are 1) improvements to best practice that go beyond the standard binary transfer learning practices, 2) heuristics that can be used to predict optimal non-binary transfer learning hyperparameters, and 3) a model that can learn optimal non-binary transfer learning hyperparameters. Experimental results are provided on a variety of image classification datasets with few training examples. These datasets range from very closely related to the source dataset to far less related. The benefits of the non-binary approach presented are supported by final results that come close to or exceed state of the art performance on a variety of target datasets that traditionally transfer learning has not performed well on.

description: We consider a pure 2m-qubit initial state to evolve under a particular quantum me- chanical spin Hamiltonian, which can be written in terms of the adjacency matrix of the Johnson network J(2m;m). Then, by using some techniques such as spectral dis- tribution and stratification associated with the graphs, employed in [1, 2], a maximally entangled GHZ state is generated between the antipodes of the network. In fact, an explicit formula is given for the suitable coupling strengths of the hamiltonian, so that a maximally entangled state can be generated between antipodes of the network. By using some known multipartite entanglement measures, the amount of the entanglement of the final evolved state is calculated, and finally two examples of four qubit and six qubit states are considered in details.

title: Democrats into Nazis?: the radicalisation of the Bürgertum in Hof-an-der-Saale, 1918-1924

description: This thesis analyses the radicalisation of the bürgertum in a single Bavarian town, Hof-an-der-Saale, in the five years after the First World War. It is bookended by two important and enormously different elections. In the first of these – the January 1919 elections to the National Assembly – the bürgerliche districts of Hof voted almost entirely for the German Democratic Party, a left-liberal, pro-Republican party that called for a parliamentary democracy, the separation of church and state, rights for women, a renunciation of German militarism and a close collaboration with the Social Democrats. But just five years later, in the Reichstag elections of May 1924, these very same districts cast their votes for the Völkisch Block, a cover organisation for the then-banned Nazi Party. Within half a decade, then, Hof’s bürgerliche milieu had switched its allegiance from a party of left-liberal democrats to the most radical nationalists in German history. Why did this dramatic and disturbing electoral turnaround occur? In an effort to answer this question, this thesis offers a detailed study of the narratives and discourses that circulated within Hof’s bürgerliche milieu during this five-year period. It uses newspaper editorials, the minutes of political meetings, electoral propaganda, the documents of civic associations and commercial organisations, the Protestant newsletter and a range of other sources in an effort to reconstruct what Hof’s Burghers thought, said and wrote between these two elections. What happened between January 1919 and May 1924 to transform Hof’s bürgerliche inhabitants from Democrat into Nazi voters, and how did this startling change manifest itself at the level of discourse and political culture?

description: It has been a long-standing issue to construct the statistics of identical particles in $κ$-deformed spacetime. In this letter, we investigate different ideas on this problem. Following the ideas of Young and Zegers, we obtain the covariant and on-shell kappa two-particle state in 1+1 D in a simpler way. Finally, a procedure to get such state in higher dimension is proposed.

description: Mental health professionals’ attitudes to people with Borderline Personality Disorder can be negative. No systematic review to date has examined how service-users and their families experience professional care. To critically synthesise evidence of service-users’ and families’ subjective experience of mental health care for borderline personality disorder. Multiple computerised databases were searched using comprehensive terms. All relevant, English language empirical studies were included. We read and critically assessed all papers independently. Study findings were subject to a meta-synthesis. A total of 38 studies were included. Analysis revealed four themes for service-users: assessment and diagnosis; approach of professionals; therapeutic interventions, and service provision; two broad themes for family/carers: support, burden, and information; and experience of professional and therapeutic approaches. Both groups expected to receive professional healthcare, and were clear they valued professionalism, respect, compassion and the therapeutic nature of positive relationships with professionals. Expectations were jeopardised where difficulties with knowledge, communication, information sharing, and support were perceived. Service-users and families/carers should expect to receive high quality, fair and equal care. In light of current evidence, a cultural shift towards more relational, person centred and recovery-focused care could improve experiences.

Displaying open cultural collections. Design guidelines for cultural content aggregators.
Creators: name: Profeta, Giovanni
Publisher: name: Scuola Universitaria della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI)
Year: 2020

description: In recent years, archives, museums and other cultural institutions have introduced several strategies to make their collections more accessible. The digitisation of extensive cultural collections and their release under open licenses are fostering the creation of cultural content aggregators, web platforms gathering several collections which support scholars, writers and artists in their research, dissemination and artistic activities. In comparison with digital archives, which show a single, curated collection, cultural content aggregators have a more complex information architecture consisting of several collections. Although cultural aggregators are adopting more performative technologies and rigorous sharing methods, their user interfaces have several usability issues. Thus, most of the available heritage is invisible to the end-user, like it is in a sort of a digital depot. This work investigates classification systems and interface solutions that may foster the access and the use of digitised cultural objects on cultural content aggregators. The research has been conducted according to a research through design approach. The best practices for designing classification systems and interface solutions are based on an in-depth analysis of existing aggregators and the development of an interface prototype, which is validated by the primary stakeholders. The results show that facilitating the access and the use of cultural objects does not require only technological advancement, but also a shift in the way the cultural content aggregator is intended. It no longer has the mere function of a searchable database, but it is acquiring the role of a research and dissemination assistant. The thesis presents the results as design guidelines based on the OpenGLAM principles listed by the Open Knowledge Foundation and the European Community - a set of guidelines that aim to support the release of open contents. The design guidelines aim to provide designers with a tool which could support them in the whole design process, including the design of the information architecture and interface elements for using and sharing content.
Asymptotic-Preserving Schemes for Fluid Models of Plasmas

description: These notes summarize a series of works related to the numerical approximation of plasma fluid problems. We construct so-called 'Asymptotic-Preserving' schemes which are valid for a large range of values (from very small to order unity) of the dimensionless parameters that appear in plasma fluid models. Specifically, we are interested in two parameters, the scaled Debye length which quantifies how close to quasi-neutrality the plasma is, and the scaled cyclotron period, which is inversely proportional to the magnetic field strength. We will largely focus on the ideas, in order to enable the reader to apply these concepts to other situations.
title: Rh catalysed hydrogenation of enamines: factors affecting the rate and enantioselectivity
Creators: name: Tin, Sergey
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2017

description: The main goal of this work was to understand factors affecting the rate of catalytic enamine hydrogenation, define promising chiral ligand scaffolds to perform the reaction enantioselectively, to prepare new efficient catalysts and to understand the reaction mechanism. Enamines were prepared by three different routes, one of which is a regio-selective intramolecular hydroaminovinylation of an amine-functionalised alkene. Achiral phosphorous ligands were tested in hydrogenation of these enamines. It was shown that electron-withdrawing ligands are beneficial in the reaction. Steric bulk within the ligands or the substrates also results in higher productivity. Electron-deficient phosphine ligands were able to perform hydrogenation of enamines with tetrasubstituted double bonds, which, to the best of our knowledge, have never been described in the literature. An unprecedented TON of up to 4550 mol mol-1 was achieved with one of the substrates. Hydrogenation of the enamines with chiral PHANEPHOS (in this project, 4,12-bis(di-aryl-phosphino-[2.2]-paracyclophane) ligands revealed that the electronic effect in the rhodium-catalysed hydrogenation of enamines is also of a paramount importance when chiral bis-phosphine ligands are used. The beneficial effect of iodine as co-catalyst is described. Addition of I2 improves both the rate of the reaction, as well as the ee of the product, exerting a dramatic effect in boosting the latter. An electron-deficient PHANEPHOS / Rh catalyst in the presence of I2 is able to hydrogenate even enamines with tetrasubstituted double bond. Chiral phospholane complexes of rhodium (complexes of chiral BPE (bis-(phospholanyl)ethane) (e.g. (+)-{1,2-Bis[(2R,5R)-2,5-diethylphospholan-1-yl]ethane}(cycloocta-1,5-diene)rhodium(I) tetrafluoroborate) and DuPhos (bis-(phospholanyl)benzene) (e.g (-)-{1,2-Bis[(2S,5S)-2,5-diethylphospholan-1-yl]benzene(cycloocta-1,5-diene)rhodium(I) tetra-fluoroborate) were also explored in this study. The use of an iodine co-catalyst proved to be very useful with the Rh / phospholane catalysts as well: addition of it resulted not only in the improvement of the rate of the reaction and increase in the enantioselectivity, but also caused the inversion of the absolute configuration of the product. An especially dramatic enantioselectivity switch was observed when chlorobenzene was used as a solvent. Mechanistic studies revealed that the enamine hydrogenation in the presence of a phospholane / Rh catalyst and iodine proceeds via the formation of the iminium ion, followed by the reduction of it with metal hydride. The actual catalyst is proposed to be a fairly acidic [Rh(ligand*)I2(H2)]+ complex.

description: Research into the quality of care in psychiatry is scarce. Data collection is falling behind that for other fields of medicine and therefore the opportunity to improve care is missed. In this medical record study we aim to determine: (i) whether or not patients’ physical health indicators are assessed and pharmacological and behavioural treatment interventions applied; (ii) the incidence and nature of adverse events in psychotic inpatients. Medical records of inpatients with psychosis admitted to psychiatric wards at Amsterdam UMC, location AMC, Department of psychiatry, were screened with a previously developed and tested two-step patient safety tool. Data of 299 admissions were included. Physical health indicators were not assessed in one-third of cases. Fifty-five percent of the patients were smokers but only 1% received an intervention. The family was actively involved in 43% of the cases. During 11,403 admission days, 235 adverse events had been recorded. The most frequent adverse event was adverse drug reactions (40%), which were mostly related to antipsychotic medication. In conclusion, quality of care auditing is useful to prioritize areas that need improvement. Future research should focus on interventions to improve the quality of psychiatric care.

description: In recent years, the increasing number of incidents of violence against women has raised serious concerns about their safety. To address this issue, we have developed a wearable woman safety device that can be easily worn by women for personal protection. The device consists of a small GPS tracker, a trigger button, and a loud buzzer. The GPS tracker allows the device to pinpoint the user's accurate location and sends a call and an alert message to their emergency contacts in case of an emergency. The trigger button is strategically placed to allow quick access in case of danger. Pressing the trigger button triggers a loud buzzer that alerts those nearby and scares off potential attackers.The device is lightweight, compact, and easy to carry.
Building capacity for trauma and violence-informed care and deconstructing oppression in women's health care
Creators: name: Brcic, Vanessa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Rationale: Experiences of oppression, trauma, daily discrimination, and structural violence are ubiquitous among people cared for within primary care. The unique impacts of these experiences on women – in particular on mothers, racialized and Indigenous women, and early childhoods – have been clearly demonstrated, including in the gendered impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. These experiences can be perpetuated or mitigated within the health care system. Trauma and violence-informed (TVI) care acknowledges these impacts, yet its integration into the fabric of women’s health care and primary care services is limited. The landscape of women’s health services offers an important opportunity to learn about the implementation of TVI care across a continuum of services with variable orientations towards equity-oriented care. Objectives: 1. To describe the environments in which TVI care is practiced within a web of interdisciplinary women’s health care services centered within primary care, and the contextual, structural, and individual factors influencing the care provided; 2. To generate insights about the implementation of equity-oriented, trauma and violence-informed care at a critical time of primary care renewal in Canada, including in the COVID-19 pandemic recovery. Research Question: How do diverse ways of enacting TVI care for women expand understandings of how to implement and scale up TVI care in primary health care more broadly? Study Design: We conducted 23 qualitative, in-depth interviews with diverse practitioners of TVI care within a web of women’s health care services centered within primary care. We engaged in collaborative thematic analysis of the data, guided by interpretive description, and conducted by three women with dual experiences as trauma survivors and providers of TVI care. This study was informed by intersectional feminism, decolonizing and critical theories, and a social justice lens. Findings: Participants described: 1. Contextual and system-level factors influencing TVI implementation in women’s health care; 2. Process knowledge of how to enact and implement TVI care; and, 3. Clinical knowledge and approaches in TVI practice. The focus of this analysis is on the first two areas, which are described as: Oppressive systems – the landscape of trauma and violence-informed practice; and, Deconstructing oppression – the work of resistance and connection.

description: The spectrum of O and B Supergiants is known to be affected by an important extra line-broadening (usually called macroturbulence) that adds to stellar rotation. Recent analysis of high resolution spectra has shown that the interpretation of this line-broadening as a consequence of large-scale turbulent motions would imply highly super-sonic velocity fields, making this scenario quite improbable. Stellar oscillations have been proposed as a likely alternative explanation. We present first encouraging results of an observational project aimed at investigating the $macroturbulent$ broadening in O and B Supergiants, and its possible connection with spectroscopic variability phenomena and stellar oscillations: a) all the studied B Supergiants show line profile variations, quantified by means of the first (< v >) and third velocity (< v^3 >) moments of the lines, b) there is a strong correlation between the peak-to-peak amplitudes of the < v > and < v^3 > variability and the size of the extra-broadening.

description: The superconducting transition temperature, $T_c$, of a ferromagnet (F) - superconductor (S) - ferromagnet trilayer depends on the mutual orientation of the magnetic moments of the F layers. This effect has been previously observed in F/S/F systems as a $T_c$ difference between parallel and antiparallel configurations of the F layers. Here we report measurements of $T_c$ in CuNi/Nb/CuNi trilayers as a function of the angle between the magnetic moments of the CuNi ferromagnets. The observed angular dependence of $T_c$ is in qualitative agreement with a F/S proximity theory that accounts for the odd triplet component of the condensate predicted to arise for non-collinear orientation of the magnetic moments of the F layers.

description: The repeated recording illusion refers to the phenomenon in which listeners believe to hear different musical stimuli while they are in fact identical. The present paper aims to construct an experimental paradigm to enable the systematic measurement of this phenomenon, investigating potentially related extrinsic and individual difference factors. Participants were told to listen to ‘‘different’’ musical performances of an original piece when in fact they were exposed to the same repeated recording. Each time, the recording was accompanied by a text suggesting a low, medium, or high prestige of the performer. Most participants (75%) believed that they had heard different musical performances. Participants with high levels of neuroticism and openness were significantly more likely to fall for the illusion. While the explicit information presented with the music influenced participants’ ratings significantly, the effect of repeated exposure was only significant in the more familiar music condition. These results suggest that like many other human judgments, evaluations of music also rely on cognitive biases and heuristics that do not depend on the stimuli themselves. The repeated recording illusion can constitute a useful paradigm for investigating nonmusical factors because it allows for the study of their effects while the music remains the same.
Le influenze della lettura estensiva in L2 sul lessico e sulla motivazione

description: Il Piano di formazione della scuola media fornisce delle indicazioni didattiche specifiche per ogni materia. Per ciò che riguarda l’italiano, gli obiettivi della lettura sono incentrati sullo sviluppo del piacere di leggere. Generalmente, questo obiettivo è raggiungibile grazie ad una didattica basata sulla lettura di testi adatti alle classi e alla lettura continuata prevista ogni settimana. Quello che ho cercato di attuare è un itinerario didattico in inglese incentrato sulla lettura continuata che abitualmente svolgo in italiano. Tale itinerario didattico è servito a capire se, quella che viene chiamata lettura estensiva (la lettura costante di testi per la comprensione del loro senso generale) in L2, può influenzare e/o ampliare il lessico in lingua degli allievi e se può incoraggiare ad un atteggiamento positivo nei confronti della lettura in generale. Il progetto si è svolto con una classe di IV media ed è basato sul reader The Canterville Ghost di Oscar Wilde, letto regolarmente durante le lezioni. Non sono stati svolti esercizi di comprensione e di analisi. La ricerca ha stabilito che il lessico degli allievi è stato effettivamente ampliato grazie alla lettura estensiva. Inoltre, l’atteggiamento della classe prima e dopo l’itinerario è cambiato positivamente. Gli allievi erano motivati alla lettura e all’approfondimento della storia del libro, condividendo gli episodi di narrazione con un’altra IV media della stessa sede. Relatore: Miriano Romualdi.
