description: The ongoing reproducibility crisis in psychology and cognitive neuroscience has sparked increasing calls to re-evaluate and reshape scientific culture and practices. Heeding those calls, we have recently launched the EEGManyPipelines project as a means to assess the robustness of EEG research in naturalistic conditions and experiment with an alternative model of conducting scientific research. One hundred sixty-eight analyst teams, encompassing 396 individual researchers from 37 countries, independently analyzed the same unpublished, representative EEG data set to test the same set of predefined hypotheses and then provided their analysis pipelines and reported outcomes. Here, we lay out how large-scale scientific projects can be set up in a grassroots, community-driven manner without a central organizing laboratory. We explain our recruitment strategy, our guidance for analysts, the eventual outputs of this project, and how it might have a lasting impact on the field.
El material didáctico para la enseñanza del español como lengua extranjera en Italia: el papel de los elementos culturales en la construcción de la imagen de “lo hispánico”

Subjects: L-LIN/07 Lingua e traduzione - Lingua spagnola

description: In this work we examine the reference to cultural elements in a sample of 13 textbooks of Spanish as a foreign language for Italian students. The aim is to observe how they treat the cultural component in the particular context of Spanish language teaching to Italians. In this context, especially relevant issues are the linguistic and cultural proximity between Italy and Spain, and the present fascination for Spain, which has given rise to some interesting phenomena, among others, a massive emigration of Italian youths to Spain.

description: To investigate changes in culinary practices associated with the arrival of farming, we analysed the organic residues of over 1,000 pottery vessels from hunter-gatherer-fisher and early agricultural sites across Northern Europe from the Lower Rhine Basin to the Northeastern Baltic. Here, pottery was widely used by hunter-gatherer-fishers prior to the introduction of domesticated animals and plants. Overall, there was surprising continuity in the way that hunter-gatherer-fishers and farmers used pottery. Both aquatic products and wild plants remained prevalent, a pattern repeated consistently across the study area. We argue that the rapid adaptation of farming communities to exploit coastal and lagoonal resources facilitated their northerly expansion, and in some cases, hunting, gathering, and fishing became the most dominant subsistence strategy. Nevertheless, dairy products frequently appear in pottery associated with the earliest farming groups often mixed with wild plants and fish. Interestingly, we also find compelling evidence of dairy products in hunter-gatherer-fisher Ertebølle pottery, which predates the arrival of domesticated animals. We propose that Ertebølle hunter-gatherer-fishers frequently acquired dairy products through exchange with adjacent farming communities prior to the transition. The continuity observed in pottery use across the transition to farming contrasts with the analysis of human remains which shows substantial demographic change through ancient DNA and, in some cases, a reduction in marine consumption through stable isotope analysis. We postulate that farmers acquired the knowledge and skills they needed to succeed from local hunter-gatherer-fishers but without substantial admixture.
title: The Role of Condensed Mathematics in Homotopy Theory
Creators: name: Mair, Johanna Catrin Cornelia Ute Christina Margarethe Luise Katharina
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2025

description: We investigate the role of condensed mathematics in the context of homotopy theory of topological spaces and schemes. In particular, we first revise the notion of pro-homotopy types of condensed anima. We present different ways to define this invariant and show its connection to the notion of shapes for topological spaces. This allows us to extend the comparison between condensed cohomology and sheaf cohomology to a larger class of topological spaces. In the second part, we define the condensed shape of a scheme as an object in the ∞-topos of condensed anima. We prove that it represents a refinement of both the étale homotopy type and the pro-étale fundamental group of a scheme. More precisely, we show that the pro-homotopy type of the condensed shape recovers the étale homotopy type of the scheme and that the pro-étale fundamental group of the scheme is related to the condensed fundamental group of the condensed shape. Our studies include a classification of schemes whose condensed shape is trivial. For this purpose, we use a different approach to define the condensed shape, which results from the work of Barwick, Glasman, Haine and Wolf.

description: We study potentially observable consequences of spatiotemporal discreteness for the motion of massive and massless particles. First we describe some simple intrinsic models for the motion of a massive point particle in a fixed causal set background. At large scales, the microscopic swerves induced by the underlying atomicity manifest themselves as a Lorentz invariant diffusion in energy-momentum governed by a single phenomenological parameter, and we derive in full the corresponding diffusion equation. Inspired by the simplicity of the result, we then derive the most general Lorentz invariant diffusion equation for a massless particle, which turns out to contain two phenomenological parameters describing, respectively, diffusion and drift in the particle's energy. The particles do not leave the light cone however: their worldlines continue to be null geodesics. Finally, we deduce bounds on the drift and diffusion constants for photons from the blackbody nature of the spectrum of the cosmic microwave background radiation.

description: La dermoscopia, metodica non invasiva, di pratico utilizzo e a basso costo si è affermata negli ultimi anni come valido strumento per la diagnosi e il follow up delle lesioni cutanee pigmentate e non pigmentate.
La presente ricerca è stata incentrata sullo studio dermoscopico dei nevi melanocitici a localizzazione palmo-plantare, acquisiti e congeniti, in età pediatrica: a questo scopo sono state analizzate le immagini dei nevi melanocitici acrali nei pazienti visitati c/o l’ambulatorio di Dermatologia Pediatrica del Policlinico Sant’Orsola Malpighi dal 2004 al 2011 per definire i principali pattern dermoscopici rilevati ed i cambiamenti osservati durante il follow up videodermatoscopico.
Nella nostra casistica di immagini dermoscopiche pediatriche abbiamo notato un cambiamento rilevante (inteso come ogni modificazione rilevata tra il pattern demoscopico osservato al baseline e i successivi follow up) nell’88,6% dei pazienti ed in particolare abbiamo osservato come in un’alta percentuale di pazienti (80%), si sia verificato un vero e proprio impallidimento del nevo melanocitico e in un paziente è stata evidenziata totale regressione dopo un periodo di tempo di 36 mesi. 
E’ stato interessante notare come l’impallidimento della lesione melanocitaria si sia verificata per lo più in sedi sottoposte ad una sollecitazione meccanica cronica, come la pianta del piede e le dita (di mani e piedi), facendoci ipotizzare un ruolo del traumatismo cronico nelle modificazioni che avvengono nelle neoformazioni melanocitarie dei bambini in questa sede.
description: Dermoscopy is a cheap, easy to use and noninvasive diagnostic method to evaluate and follow up pigmented and nonpigmented skin lesions.
In this retrospective observational study we examined dermoscopic images of 35 acquired and congenital melanocytic nevi affecting acral volar skin in children seen at the Dermatologic Unit, Sant’Orsola Malpighi Hospital, University of Bologna, from 2004 to 2011 in order to define dermoscopic features and to compare the baseline and follow up dermoscopic patterns.
Significant dermoscopic changes between baseline and follow up pictures were observed in 88,6% of patients; in particular we noticed a brightening of the lesion in a high percentage of patients (80%) and a total regression in one patient in a period of time of 36 months.
It is interesting to note that the brightening of the lesions occurred mainly in sites subjected to chronic mechanical stress such as soles and fingers so we hypothesize a role of repeated traumatism in changes occurring in acral melanocytic nevi in children.
Production function analysis of paddy farming in Sri Lanka
Creators: name: Abeysekara, W. A. Terrence
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The primary purpose of this thesis was to analyse underlying input-output relationships in paddy farming in Sri Lanka. Cross-section study data involved 107 paddy farms from five major paddy districts. The' period under study was the 1972-73 Maha paddy season. Data collection was based on farm record keeping. Production function analysis was applied in the study. Factor shares and least squares regression methods were used to estimate production functions. Results .from the factor shares method were not completely satisfactory in the context of the study. Accordingly the least squares method assumed most importance in the analysis. Both multi-linear and Cobb-Douglas functions were fitted to the data and the latter gave the best statistical fit. Functional analysis was also used at the regional level. The dummy variable technique and discriminant analysis identified two regions within the main sample. Productivity index comparisons were made among districts composing the two regions. The analysis with respect to the over-all sample indicated the presence of resource mis-allocation on paddy farms. Typical paddy farmers were found to be employing land and draft services efficiently when all other resources remained at geometric mean levels of use. Nevertheless, under similar-conditions of geometric mean level resource use, fertilizer and labour were not used intensively enough. In particular fertilizer was seriously under-utilized. Calculation of expansion path resource combinations and various productivity estimates confirmed these results. Therefore, the analysis showed that paddy output can be increased by more intensive application of fertilizer and labour. The latter calls for intensive practices such as transplanting and manual weeding. But study findings also suggested the existence of labour shortages during peak periods of paddy farming. Marginal productivities of fertilizer and labour in both low and high response designated regions, showed once again that at geometric mean levels of resource application, they were substantially higher than their prices. In the regional analysis the draft service input (including animal and tractor services) was found to be typically over-utilized in the low response region and under-utilized in the high response region. The latter points to a shortage of draft services in the high response region which can act as a constraint to increased paddy production. Expansion path resource combinations were also calculated for each region to act as guide-lines for efficient resource app1i cat ion. Analysis at the district level for ascertaining the productivity of all inputs other than land in paddy farming showed that Polonnaruwa district was twice as productive as Kurunegala district. In the same context Hambantota came close to Polonnaruwa, whereas, Kandy and Colombo closely matched Kurunegala.
Effect of training systems and pruning methods on fruit quality in apple

description: The introduction of dwarfed rootstocks in apple crop has led to a new concept of intensive planting systems with the aim of producing early high yield and with returns of the initial high investment. Although yield is an important aspect to the grower, the consumer has become demanding regards fruit quality and is generally attracted by appearance. To fulfil the consumer’s expectations the grower may need to choose a proper training system along with an ideal pruning technique, which ensure a good light distribution in different parts of the canopy and a marketable fruit quality in terms of size and skin colour. Although these aspects are important, these fruits might not reach the proper ripening stage within the canopy because they are often heterogeneous. To describe the variability present in a tree, a software (PlantToon®), was used to recreate the tree architecture in 3D in the two training systems. The ripening stage of each of the fruits was determined using a non-destructive device (DA-Meter), thus allowing to estimate the fruit ripening variability. This study deals with some of the main parameters that can influence fruit quality and ripening stage within the canopy and orchard management techniques that can ameliorate a ripening fruit homogeneity. Significant differences in fruit quality were found within the canopies due to their position, flowering time and bud wood age. Bi-axis appeared to be suitable for high density planting, even though the fruit quality traits resulted often similar to those obtained with a Slender Spindle, suggesting similar fruit light availability within the canopies. Crop load confirmed to be an important factor that influenced fruit quality as much as the interesting innovative pruning method “Click”, in intensive planting systems.

description: Abstract There is a unique link between leadership qualities and organizational success. Leadership is the problem of many organizations but little attention is given to leadership-related research. This paper aimed to examine the qualities of a good leader using principal component analysis (PCA). The study adopted a quantitative research approach by eliciting perceptions of respondents on the qualities of a good leader through structured questionnaire. One hundred and fifty (150) questionnaires were administered to top management of companies within the construction industry, banking industry, food industry, and information technology industry. One hundred and twenty-seven (127) were retrieved and considered for further analysis. The data obtained were analyzed using PCA. The findings revealed the principal qualities of a good leader to be: 1) accessibility and dedication, 2) neutrality and modesty, 3) aspiration and attentiveness, 4) believe and aptitude, 5) dignity and amiability, 6) insight and confidence, 7) vitality and concentration, 8) originality and honesty, 9) responsibility and team spirit, 10) decency and self-assurance, 11) charitable, 12) comical and maintenance culture, and 13) reliability. It is recommended that leaders should demonstrate these leadership qualities to enhance organizational effectiveness and efficiency.

description: O presente estudo propôs entender as relações entre os stakeholders de um parque nacional. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa com metodologia voltada para o estudo de casos múltiplos, o que contribuiu para a investigação empírica. Para tanto, foram selecionados três parques nacionais que reúnem características que viabilizaram uma análise comparativa de acordo com o método proposto por Yin (2010). Os parques selecionados foram: Parque Nacional do Catimbau-PE, Parque Nacional da Serra da Capivara-PI e Parque Nacional Itatiaia-RJ. O objetivo geral foi diagnosticar as relações dos stakeholders de um parque nacional, considerando os conceitos de serviços turísticos e hospitalidade. Especificamente buscou-se identificar quais são os stakeholders; identificar a sinergia entre os stakeholders de um parque nacional com relação aos serviços turísticos e a hospitalidade do lugar e identificar a extroversão da cultural local nos Parques Nacionais como fator de singularidade da identidade do destino turístico. Foram realizadas entrevistas com os gestores dos parques nacionais, baseadas em um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturada. Através da pesquisa foi possível identificar que alguns dos principais stakeholders dos parques não mantém relacionamento.

description: 1. In the face of the global biodiversity crisis, collecting comprehensive data and making the best use of existing data are becoming increasingly important to understand patterns and drivers of environmental and biological phenomena at different scales. 2. Here we address the concept of secondary data, which refers to additional information unintentionally captured in species records, especially in multimedia-based citizen science reports. We argue that secondary data can provide a wealth of ecologically relevant information, the utilisation of which can enhance our understanding of traits and interactions among individual organisms, populations and biodiversity dynamics in general. 3. We explore the possibilities offered by secondary data and describe their main types and sources. An overview of research in this field provides a synthesis of the results already achieved using secondary data and different approaches to information extraction. 4. Finally, we discuss challenges to the widespread use of secondary data, such as biases, licensing issues, use of metadata and lack of awareness of this trove of data due to a missing common terminology, as well as possible solutions to overcome these barriers. 5. Although the exploration and use of secondary data is only emerging, the many opportunities identified show how these data can enrich biodiversity research and monitoring.

description: How the multiple facets of soil fungal diversity vary worldwide remains virtually unknown, hindering the management of this essential species-rich group. By sequencing high-resolution DNA markers in over 4000 topsoil samples from natural and human-altered ecosystems across all continents, we illustrate the distributions and drivers of different levels of taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity of fungi and their ecological groups. We show the impact of precipitation and temperature interactions on local fungal species richness (alpha diversity) across different climates. Our findings reveal how temperature drives fungal compositional turnover (beta diversity) and phylogenetic diversity, linking them with regional species richness (gamma diversity). We integrate fungi into the principles of global biodiversity distribution and present detailed maps for biodiversity conservation and modeling of global ecological processes.
Destination innovation and superstar spillover effects on tourism: the entrepreneurial CR7 Museum and Ballon d’Or 2013 winner Cristiano Ronaldo
Creators: name: Oliveira, Manuel Au-Yong
Publisher: name: Journal of Tourism & Development
Year: 2014

description: This qualitative research effort involved 16 interviews and contributes to the research on innovation in tourism. The author concludes that Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, winner of the Ballon d’Or 2013, is an innovative top-of-the-range product responsible for a significant positive impact on the image and reputation of his country (Portugal) and birthplace (Madeira Island) and also on the tourism in these locations. The new concept of SuperTourINNOV (Superstar Tourism Innovation) is presented as a force for development and job creation, as the innovative Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7) Museum takes significant steps to becoming an important tourist attraction on Madeira Island. The interviewees, including frontline travel agency operators, visitors to the CR7 Museum, and CR7 Museum employees, emphasize the importance of destination innovation – depending, partly, in this case, on Ronaldo’s victories and on SuperTourINNOV – which can prove, however, to be as uncertain as continued innovation at companies such as Nokia and BlackBerry – which used to be market leaders.

description: Apesar de ser um tema novo no turismo, a mobilidade corporativa já apresenta estudos nos Estados Unidos da América, Europa, Ásia e América Latina. Assim como a mobilidade urbana, física, social e tecnológica, a mobilidade corporativa surge com o objetivo de criar soluções estratégicas de deslocamento. Nas empresas, isso se dá por meio das viagens corporativas, expatriação de funcionários, ou simplesmente nos deslocamentos necessários para operacionalizar o cotidiano das organizações. As viagens de negócios no Brasil têm crescido, e mercados como os de agronegócios, petróleo e gás natural contribuirão ainda mais para tal aumento. As Travel Management Companies, conhecidas como TMCs, ganham espaço nesse mercado por serem especialistas em gestão de viagens corporativas. Dessa maneira, o objetivo do presente artigo é apresentar as TMCs como disseminadoras de serviços de mobilidade corporativa. O estudo caracteriza-se como exploratório, qualitativo, com estudo de casos múltiplos. Primeiramente, realizou-se o levantamento bibliográfico para a compreensão de conceitos, estabelecimento de palavras-chave, elaboração do problema de pesquisa e hipóteses. A questão central da pesquisa foi ‘Por que procurar serviços de mobilidade corporativa emTMCs?’. A segunda etapa, empírica, realizou-se com o estudo de casos múltiplos, com escolha por conveniência de acesso aos dados das empresas, selecionando-se Carlson Wagon Lits, Alatur e Tour House; preparação de protocolo de pesquisa; caracterização de cada uma das organizações com dados obtidos em pesquisa de gabinete e a realização de nove entrevistas, sendo as três primeiras com o representante da alta administração de cada uma das TMCs que, por sua vez, indicaram dois representantes de seus stakeholders mais relevantes.

description: Pretende-se com este artigo partilhar com a comunidade, a investigação sobre a importância da cooperação entre os atores num modelo interorganizacional e intersetorial no desenvolvimento e na competitividade dos destinos turísticos. Propõe-se, então, apresentar algumas das conclusões de um estudo científico que teve como principal objetivo compreender a perceção dos agentes turísticos sobre a importância da cooperação entre eles para o desenvolvimento turístico sustentável de uma região com caraterísticas rurais: o Baixo Alentejo (Alentejo). A investigação empírica assentou numa inquirição dos atores sociais das organizações de turismo local e regional, numa perspetiva setorial. Para tal, recorreu-se a uma metodologia quantitativa, baseada na aplicação de um inquérito aos dirigentes de instituições do setor público e de organizações associativas e de uma amostra de empresários do turismo. O estudo mostrou a perceção dos agentes sobre a importância da cooperação entre os atores para o desenvolvimento turístico do Baixo Alentejo em áreas prioritárias como a organização de pacotes turísticos e circuitos e a promoção turística de produtos temáticos, valorizando os fatores que contribuem para o seu sucesso (trabalho de equipa e comunicação), bem como as suas vantagens ao nível da competitividade e da troca de recursos, assim como as dificuldades para a sua concretização (financeiras, morosidade e burocracia dos processos e problemas de comunicação).

Turismo e redes de relações entre stakeholders turísticos: aplicação da Análise de Redes Sociais (ARS) como metodologia
Creators: name: Pais, Henrique

Publisher: name: Revista Turismo & Desenvolvimento
Year: 2014

description: Ao incorporar uma grande diversidade de atividades e organizações, o turismo integra diversos stakeholders, os quais, em conjunto, contribuem para o desenvolvimento do produto final. Porque dependem uns dos outros para alcançarem os seus objetivos, o estabelecimento de alianças, parcerias ou redes (networks) entre eles torna-se uma necessidade. O próprio desempenho dos destinos turísticos depende muito das ligações estabelecidas entre os stakeholders que os compõem, pelo que o trabalho em rede entre os diversos agentes envolvidos constitui um fator muito importante para a competitividade do sector e dos destinos turísticos. Partindo da perspetiva dos stakeholders e recorrendo à Análise de Redes Sociais (ARS) como metodologia, este trabalho estuda e caracteriza as propriedades da rede de cooperação de diversos stakeholders envolvidos no turismo de alguns concelhos do Parque Natural da Serra da Estrela. Complementarmente, identifica a existência de hábitos de cooperação, bem como a perceção dos stakeholders em relação à importância das estruturas em rede. Conclui-se que a maioria dos stakeholders em estudo costuma estabelecer relações de cooperação, e que concordam que as redes podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento do turismo e da região. Contudo consideram existir algumas dificuldades/barreiras à formação e desenvolvimentos de relações de cooperação, que poderão ser agravadas com o fim da Região de Turismo da Serra da Estrela.

We propose a community road map to generate and more fully exploit multi-omics data from polar organisms. These data are needed for the comprehensive evaluation of polar biodiversity and to reveal how life evolved and adapted to permanently cold environments with extreme seasonality. We argue that concerted action is required to mitigate the impact of warming on polar ecosystems via conservation efforts, to sustainably manage these unique habitats and their ecosystem services, and for the sustainable bioprospecting of novel genes and compounds for societal gain.

description: Sustainability represents a critical challenge in the construction industry and many approaches have been developed to reduce the environmental impact of on-site construction processes. However, scant academic attention has been given to the environmental impact of logistical support for ready mixed concrete (RMC) on-site delivery emissions in developing countries. This paper develops a methodology for capturing emissions from RMC equipment and material during on-site delivery operations. A literature review was conducted to define and delineate upon greenhouse gases emitted during RMC operations and the appropriate methods to calculate them. A methodology was then developed and validated by analysing ten delivery cycle times in a case study. Data collected was analysed using simple descriptive summary statistics (viz: mean, bar charts and standard deviation). The study's results illustrate that on-site emissions incurred were: CO2 account for 99.38 % of the total emissions from RMC equipment while HC (0.03 %), CO (0.11 %), NOx (0.26 %), PM10 (0.02 %), and SO2 (0.20 %) account for 0.62 %. Embodied CO2 in RMC also contributes majorly to emissions in on-site delivery operations. Alternative materials such as fly ash represent a viable means of reducing embodied emissions in RMC but proper handling is required to avert harmful environmental impacts. The study provides deeper insights into the on-site emissions arising from RMC delivery operations and a bespoke methodology that could be used as an organisational learning tool for RMC companies.
Co-creating destination development in the post-austerity era: destination management organisations and local enterprise partnerships

description: This regional spotlight paper debates novel approaches to the way urban destination management is being undertaken by DMOs against a dynamic operational context. The rationale behind is the scarce literature on change in the domain of destination management, particularly in today’s post-austerity era. In times when DMOs are forced into revisiting their modus operandi, entering partnerships with organisations representing the wider destination network and having an interest in destination development, could be the way forward. This multi-phase qualitative study is drawing on both primary and secondary data sources and involved policy analysis, group observations, and semi-structured interviews with executive and other senior personnel of case-specific organisations. Findings provide evidence that the wider destination management network engaging proactively in developing the visitor economy is crucial to the future sustainability of DMOs across England. The focus is brought to exploring and exploiting alternative alliance opportunities in an attempt to fill in the funding gap left by the public. Building on the limited empirical evidence on the topic to date, outcomes of this study shed light on such cross-organisational alliances. The latter may be of practical relevance to visitor-oriented, urban DMOs seeking to acquire additional funding in post-recession times.

description: Soil fungi are a key constituent of global biodiversity and play a pivotal role in agroecosystems. How arable farming affects soil fungal biogeography and whether it has a disproportional impact on rare taxa is poorly understood. Here, we used the high-resolution PacBio Sequel targeting the entire ITS region to investigate the distribution of soil fungi in 217 sites across a 3000 km gradient in Europe. We found a consistently lower diversity of fungi in arable lands than grasslands, with geographic locations significantly impacting fungal community structures. Prevalent fungal groups became even more abundant, whereas rare groups became fewer or absent in arable lands, suggesting a biotic homogenization due to arable farming. The rare fungal groups were narrowly distributed and more common in grasslands. Our findings suggest that rare soil fungi are disproportionally affected by arable farming, and sustainable farming practices should protect rare taxa and the ecosystem services they support.
Selezione e processazione di cellule Natural Killer da donatore aploidentico "KIR-ligand" incompatibile per l'immunoterapia adottiva di pazienti con Leucemia Acuta Mieloblastica ad alto rischio

description: The effector function of natural killer (NK) cells is regulated by activating and inhibitory receptors, termed killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs). In haploidentical T-cell depleted transplantation the donor/recipient KIR mismatch significantly impacts on NK-mediated tumor cell killing, particularly in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Thirty-four high risk AML patients entered a phase I-II study of adoptive NK-cell based immunotherapy and were screened for the availability of one haploidentical KIR ligand mismatched donor. Thirteen of them resulted as having one suitable donor. NK cells were enriched from steady-state leukaphereses by using a double-step immunomagnetic separation system, consisting in depletion of CD3+ T cells followed by positive selection of CD56+ NK cells. CD56+ cells were enriched from 7,70% (1,26-11,70) to 93,50% (66,41-99,20) (median recovery 53,05% (30,97-72,85), median T-depletion 3,03 log (2,15-4,52)  viability >92%) and their citotoxic activity was inalterate. All patients (4 progressions, 1 partial remission and 8 complete remissions) received NK cell infusion which was preceeded by immunosuppressive chemotherapy (fludarabine and cyclophosphamide) and followed by interleukin 2 injections. The median number of reinfused NK cells was 2,74x10(e)6/kg(1,11-5,00) and contamining CD3+ T cells were always less than 1x10(e)5/kg. The procedure was well-tolerated and no significant toxicity, including GvHD, related to NK cell infusion was observed. The donor NK cells were demonstrated in 5/10 patients. Among the 8 patients in complete remission 5 patients are stable after 18, 15, 4, 2 months of follow-up. Three other patients relapsed after 2 and 7 months. The patient in partial remission obtained a complete remission, which lasted for 6 months. The 4 patients with active/progressive disease showed the persistence of disease. This clinical observation may be correlated with in vitro studies, indicating that AML cells are capable to induce NK cell apoptosis in a dose-depend manner.
In summery, a two-step enrichment of CD56+ NK cells allows the collection of a suitable number of target cells to be used as adoptive immunotherapy in AML patients. Infusion of NK cells is feasible and safe and adoptively transferred NK cells can be detected after infusion.

description: It is shown that given an analytic Lorentzian metric on a 4-manifold, $g$, which admits two Killing vector fields, then it exists a local deformation law $η= a g + b H$, where $H$ is a 2-dimensional projector, such that $η$ is flat and admits the same Killing vectors. We also characterize the particular case when the projector $H$ coincides with the quotient metric. We apply some of our results to general stationary axisymmetric spacetimes
