description: Plant electrical signals often contains low frequency drifts with or without the application of external stimuli. Quantification of the randomness in plant signals in a stimulus-specific way is hindered because the knowledge of vital frequency information in the actual biological response is not known yet. Here we design an optimum Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter which removes the low frequency drifts and preserves the frequency spectrum corresponding to the random component of the unstimulated plant signals by bringing the bias due to unknown artifacts and drifts to a minimum. We use energy criteria of wavelet packet transform (WPT) for optimization based tuning of the IIR filter parameters. Such an optimum filter enforces that the energy distribution of the pre-stimulus parts in different experiments are almost overlapped but under different stimuli the distributions of the energy get changed. The reported research may popularize plant signal processing, as a separate field, besides other conventional bioelectrical signal processing paradigms.

description: Several randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have investigated the effects of the Paleolithic diet (PD) in adult patients suffering from metabolic disorders. However, the results of these RCTs are conflicting. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effects of the PD in patients with metabolic disorders. We searched the PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Cochrane Databases, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Embase databases up to June, 2020. The data were pooled using a random-effects model. From the eligible publications, 10 articles were selected for inclusion in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model. The heterogeneity was determined using the I2 statistics and the Cochrane Q test. The pooled results from the random-effects model showed a significant reduction of the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (weighted mean difference, WMD: −0.39, 95% CI: −0.70, −0.08), fasting insulin (WMD: −12.17 μU/mL, 95% CI: −24.26, −0.08), total cholesterol (WMD: −0.32 mmol/l, 95% CI: −0.49, −0.15), triglycerides (WMD: −0.29 mmol/L, 95% CI: −0.42, −0.16), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (WMD: −0.35 mmol/L, 95% CI: −0.67, −0.03), blood pressure (BP)(WMD − 5.89 mmHg; 95% CI − 9.973 to − 1.86 for the systolic BP and WMD − 4.01 mmHg; 95% CI − 6.21 to − 1.80 for the diastolic BP values) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels (WMD: −0.84, mg/L, 95% CI: −1.62, −0.06) in the PD group versus control group. Our findings provide better insights into the effect of the PD on the modulation of the glucose and lipid metabolism factors in patients with metabolic disorders, providing comprehensive information for the development of future RCTs with a high quality design.

"Speak'st thou from thy heart?": Performing the Mother-Nurse and Clown-Servant in Romeo and Juliet
Creators: name: Bourus, Terri
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2022

description: Mothers are notoriously rare in Shakespeare. Juliet has a living, onstage mother, but the most important older woman and mother-figure in her life is the Nurse. Unlike any other Nurse in Shakespeare’s plays, such as the Nurse in Titus Andronicus, or, for that matter, any other Nurse character in early modern English plays, Juliet’s Nurse is a fully developed and emotionally complicated character. She has her own backstory, including the death of her own named child. She is given a remarkable idiolect along with a fully developed sexuality and corporeality. She is Juliet’s alternative mother, and as central to the plot and the emotional arc of Romeo and Juliet as Bottom is to A Midsummer Night’s Dream. And yet, she stands alone among Shakespeare’s servant-class characters, providing comic relief, dramatic interest and tension, and a deep and loving connection to the family she serves and the Italian community of which she is an integral part. This essay situates the character within widespread, normative medieval and early modern practices of wet-nursing and surrogate motherhood. It examines the uniqueness of Juliet’s Nurse in the context of other early modern ‘nurse’ characters and the long history of remarkable theatrical and cinematic interpretations of the role. It also specifically connects the Nurse to her companion servant in the Capulet household, Peter, played in the first performances by the great English clown, Will Kemp. Keywords: nurse; surrogate motherhood; Romeo and Juliet; clown; Shakespeare

description: The crystal structure of CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite has been investigated under high-pressure by synchrotron-based powder X-ray diffraction. We found that after the previously reported phase transitions in CH3NH3PbBr3 (Pm-3m->Im-3->Pmn21), which occur below 2 GPa, there is a third transition to a crystalline phase at 4.6 GPa. This transition is reported here for the first time contradicting previous studies which reported amorphization of CH3NH3PbBr3 between 2.3 and 4.6 GPa. Our X-ray diffraction measurements show that CH3NH3PbBr3 remains crystalline up to 7.6 GPa, the highest pressure covered by experiments. The new high-pressure phase is also described by the space group Pmn21, but the transition involves abrupt changes in the unit-cell parameters and a 3% decrease of the unit-cell volume. Our conclusions are confirmed by optical-absorption experiments and visual observations and by the fact that changes induced by pressure up to 10 GPa are reversible. The optical studies also allow for the determination of the pressure dependence of the band-gap energy which is discussed using the structural information obtained from X-ray diffraction.

Memories of Antiquity in Derek Walcott’s Odyssey: A Stage Version. A Case Study of Eurycleia
Creators: name: Scherer, Madeleine
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2022

description: Derek Walcott’s Odyssey. A Stage Version is a work of reception that remembers ancient Greek mythology as much as or more than it rewrites ancient sources. Walcott’s references to the classics are at times immediately recognisable, at other times hidden behind layers of cumulative association, creating a unique experience for different members of his audience. Within Walcott’s interweaving of untranslated oral references to ancient Greek with Jazz, Shango invocations, and quotations from Horace, we witness the workings of remembrance; deliberate triggers to his audience’s memory of a transcultural tapestry of characters, narratives, and images, often without contextualising or expanding on his various allusions. In an adaptation of this type, the way in which one of the most pivotal female characters of Graeco-Roman epic, the nurse Eurycleia, is rewritten into the late twentieth century evokes a complex mode of reader-reception. In Walcott’s rewriting, Eurycleia is deliberately and overtly tied to Egypt, which was in Homer associated with mysticism and magic. This emphasises her power over both the narrative and the Ithacan household, while feeding into a larger web of references to African, Afrocentric and Caribbean literature and scholarship in Walcott’s Odyssey, including Martin Bernal’s Black Athena, Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart and Caribbean religious rituals. This style of reception establishes a storyworld in which ancient Greek topoi are integrated with ideas and narratives from world history whereby Walcott performs a move away from an elite form of adaptation that prioritises knowledge of Graeco-Roman languages and contexts towards one that works through a wide and shifting set of global memories. Keywords: Odyssey; nurses; classical reception; memory; Derek Walcott

description: We discuss the equivalent form of Levy-Leblond equation [1, 2] such that the nilpotent matrices are two dimensional. We show that this equation can be obtained in the non-relativistic limit of the (2+1) dimensional Dirac equation. Furthermore, we analyze the case with four dimensional matrices and propose a Hamiltonian for the equation in (3+1) dimensions and solve it for a Coulomb potential. We show that the quantized energy levels for the hydrogen atom are obtained and the result is consistent with non-relativistic quantum mechanics.

One, None and a Hundred-Thousand. The Nutrix in Seneca’s Phaedra: a Blend of Roles and Literary Genres
Creators: name: Spurio Venarucci, Ivan
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2022

description: Among the dramatis personae of Seneca’s Phaedra, the Nurse is perhaps the most complex and multifaceted. In Euripides’ Hippolytus the Nurse does not lack a central role and three-dimensional stance, especially because of her oratory skills, but she does not differ excessively from the stereotyped character of tragedy. On the other hand, the role and function of the Nurse are expanded by Seneca. She does not simply embody the ‘voice of reason’ (however imbued with Stoic philosophy) against Phaedra’s furor: she is the moving force of the tragedy. She takes up an authorial role akin to that of Plautus’ slave; she turns into a comic lena in order to lead Hippolytus to the realms of Venus; she improvises as a priestess while delivering a prayer to Diana; she is also a skilled philosopher and declaimer. Nevertheless, she does not truly fulfill any of these roles and ends up being the humble servant of her queen. Each of her transformations is a failure; but, on closer examination, they are a failure from Phaedra’s perspective. Resigning her authorial role, de facto the Nurse becomes an instrument of the real ‘author’ of the drama, that is, Nature. Phaedra is a tragedy of Nature and the limits it imposes on human beings. Through her apparently disastrous choices, the Nurse helps Nature establish its undisputed dominion. Keywords: Nurse; Seneca; Phaedra; Nature; Roman tragedy; authorial role; metatheatre

Search for a light-charged Higgs in a two-Higgs-doublet type II seesaw model at the LHC

description: A charged Higgs in the type II two-Higgs-doublet model (THDM) has been bounded to be above a few hundred GeV by the radiative $B$ decays. A Higgs triplet extension of the THDM not only provides an origin of neutrino masses and a completely new doubly-charged Higgs decay pattern, but it also achieves a light-charged Higgs with a mass of ${\cal O}(100)$ GeV through the new scalar couplings in the scalar potential. It was found that these light-charged Higgs decays depend on its mass $m_{H^\pm}$, $\tanβ$, and mixing effect $\sinθ_\pm$: at $\tanβ=1$, if $m_{H^\pm} > m_W + m_Z$, $\bar b b W^\pm$, $W^\pm Z$, and $τν$ are the main decay modes; however, if $m_{H^\pm} < m_W + m_Z$, the main decay modes are then $\bar b b W$ and $τν$, and at $\tanβ=30$, the $τν$ mode dominates the other decays. When $m_t > m_{H^\pm} + m_b$, we found that the ATLAS and CMS recent upper bounds on the product of $BR(t\to H^+ b)BR(H^+\to τ^+ ν)$ can be directly applied and will give a strict constraint on the correlation of $m_{H^\pm}$ and $\sinθ_\pm$. If the upper bound of $BR(t\to H^+ b)BR(H^+\to τ^+ ν)$ is satisfied (escaped) for $m_t > () m_W + m_Z$.

description: We give a fully analytical description of radial and angular geodesics for massive particles that travel in the spacetime provided by a (3+1)-dimensional scale-dependent black hole in the cosmological background, for which, the quantum corrections are assumed to be small. We show that the equations of motion for radial orbits can be solved by means of Lauricella hypergeometric functions with different numbers of variables. We then classify the angular geodesics and argue that no planetary bound orbits are available. We calculate the epicyclic frequencies of circular orbits at the potential's maximum and the deflection angle of scattered particles is also calculated. Finally, we resolve the raised Jacobi inversion problem for the angular motion by means of a genus-2 Riemannian theta function, and the possible orbits are derived and discussed.

Year: 2018

description: This study was undertaken to assess human resource development practice and challenges in Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) Northe Addis Ababa District. Both primary and secondary data were collected. Primary data collected through questionnaires and interview. The questionnaire was distributed to 358 employees of the bank working in North Addis district in which 322 completed and returned. Questionnaire was distributed to the employees on the basis of simple random sampling based on respondents willingness and cooperation and convenience sampling techniques were used to select managers and HR experts for interview. Data analyzed using descriptive stastics based on qualitative and quantitative method of research design. The findings revealed that CBE has strength in assign competent trainers and allocate adequate facilities for training and development. Nevertheless, the bank has major weakness especially with regards to training need assessment, and training design and evaluation. Further, the opportunities were not given to employees to participate in the training and development practice program. Lack of proper implementation of career development, lack of clarity of performance evaluation criteria and manager related problems are the most serious problem identified at CBE. The researcher recommends that training needs assessment, design and evaluation techniques should be modified and applied. Proper career development and performance appraise should be practice. Finally top management should support each human resource development activities to achieve its objective effectively.

Bridging the Gap with Epic: the Nurse in Euripides’ Medea
Creators: name: Blankenborg, Ronald
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2022

description: This paper argues for a deliberately epic role for the nurse in Euripides’ tragedies, especially in his Medea. In that specific play, the nurse’s influencing of events resembles the omniscient characters familiar from narrative epic like Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey. In Homer’s Odyssey, as in Aeschylus’ Oresteia, the nurse tends to align either with the household norms, generally labelled patriarchal, or with the lady of the house left behind. In Choephoroi 748-62, the task, duties, and responsibilities of the nurse are sufficiently presented. In Aeschylean and Sophoclean drama, nurses act and speak within the limits of these duties and responsibilities, while in Euripidean drama the nurse’s role changes. Acknowledging the special position of the nurse’s contribution in Euripides’ Medea as discussed in Ian Ruffell’s “The Nurse’s Tale”, I link the changing and changed role of the wet nurse to the characteristics of epic behaviour: a certain amount of providence, combined with typically human indifference, and, ultimately, helplessness. She is the only one who, in lines 36-7 and 89-95, foresees the event that must have been a great unpleasant surprise (if not shock) for the audience: infanticide. It has been suggested that the nurse’s “epic” behaviour, speech, and foreknowledge develop in the context of the societal circumstances in 421 BCE; in other (lost) plays by Euripides, nurses are allegedly involved in the psycho-sexual problems of their mistresses. In Medea, however, the issue is infanticide. The level of transgression in Medea’s planned behaviour, I argue, is mirrored in the level of “epic” as shown in the nurse’s self-importance and presumptuousness. Her speech in the prologue equals prologues spoken by omniscient and influencing characters, e.g. Dionysius in Bacchae and Aphrodite in Hippolytus, as does her self-reflection in the course of the play. Keywords: nurses in Greek tragedy; prologuing characters; double motivation; tragic transgression [1] I thank the editor Rosy Colombo for her helpful comments and suggestions.

description: Black phosphorus (BP), a layered van der Waals material, reportedly has a band gap sensitive to external perturbations and manifests a Dirac-semimetal phase when its band gap is closed. Previous studies were focused on effects of each perturbation, lacking a unified picture for the band-gap closing and the Dirac-semimetal phase. Here, using pseudospins from the glide-reflection symmetry, we study the electronic structures of mono- and bilayer BP and construct the phase diagram of the Dirac-semimetal phase in the parameter space related to pressure, strain, and electric field. We find that the Dirac-semimetal phase in BP layers is singly connected in the phase diagram, indicating the phase is topologically identical regardless of the gap-closing mechanism. Our findings can be generalized to the Dirac semimetal phase in anisotropic layered materials and can play a guiding role in search for a new class of topological materials and devices.

description: Obesity is associated with an increased risk of chronic, low-grade systematic inflammation for which exercise training (EX) and caloric restriction (CR) are potential treatments. We therefore performed a systematic meta-analysis to compare the effect of EX vs. CR and EX + CR vs. CR on inflammation markers in overweight and obese individuals. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and the Cochrane were searched up to April 2020 for EX vs. CR or EX + CR vs. CR interventions studies on inflammatory makers i.e. CRP, IL-6 and TNF-α in overweight and obese individuals. Standardized mean differences and 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Thirty two articles (reporting 38 trials) involving 2108 participants were included in the meta-analysis. Based on studies that directly compared EX and CR, there were no evidence for an effect of EX on IL-6 (p = 0.20) and TNF-α (p = 0.58), when compared with a CR. However, when compared to EX, CR has a statistically greater benefit on CRP (p = 0.01). In those studies, directly comparing EX + CR and CR, EX + CR caused a larger decrease in TNF-α (p = 0.002) and IL-6 (p = 0.02) and tended to decrease CRP (p = 0.06) when compared with CR. These results suggest that a combination of EX and CR may be more effective than CR alone at reducing inflammatory cytokines and CRP in overweight and obese individuals.

Assessment of Land Administration Service Delivery in two Selected Services: Ownership Certificate and Compensation Services: in Arada Sub-city of Addis Ababa
Creators: name: Hailemeskel, Lulit
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2011

description: In many countries, there is increasing need for efficient and effective delivery of land administration services, especially in land registration and compensation (Money paid to the affected land occupants) services to protect the tenure security. As a land administration is important sector of public service delivery, the concept of quality service is equally applicable to it. Accordingly this study assessed the situation of title deed and compensation service delivery in Arada sub city. In the current land administration of Arada sub-city, customers have to consult various organizations/departments to get the service done. The title service delivery system is not only time taking but also expensive. As a result the urban poor is being pushed away not to use the service. Also the compensation which is paid by the sub-city is not unsatisfactory to the customers in that most of the affected rated the compensation low and unjustified because of lack of appropriate evaluation process, lack of private partnership and NGOs participation. This situation has created gaps between expectation of citizens and land administration service provided by the sub city land administration organization in that most of the respondents came in need of quality service that is efficient, equitable and accountable but more than half of the respondents did not receive as such services. Case study method, supporting literature review and hypothetical factors for quality service delivery adopted by World Bank (2005) have been used as guide- lines for the study. The case study has used 100 customer respondents and 36 employees and 4 managers as primary data source through questionnaires, interviews and FGDs .The analysis of the data and information collected from the field work recognized the challenges as: lack of coordination of the concerned bodies, lack of clear and known service delivery rules and regulations, capacity deficiency, lack of skilled man power, poor land data management, high fee paid for title deed service and lack of transparency have been found out to be the main challenges of the selected services delivery. Thus based on those findings possible conclusions recommendations are made

description: The calculations based on the next-to-leading logarithm (NLL) approximation for the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BKFL) evolution are presented for the Mueller-Navelet (MN) dijet production cross section, as well as for their ratios at different collision energies. The MN dijet denotes the jet pair consists of jets, which were selected with $p_{\perp} > p_{\perp\min}$ and with maximal rapidity separation in the event. The NLL BFKL predictions for the MN cross sections are given for the $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=2.76$, $8$, and $13$ TeV, for $p_{\perp\min} = 20$ and $35$ GeV. The results are in agreement with the measurement by the CMS experiment in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=2.76$ TeV and $p_{\perp\min} = 35$ GeV within the theoretical and experimental uncertainties.

Wet Nurses’ (In)visible Presences. Ethics of Care and Dependency Critique in Selected Early Modern English Dramas

description: Although recent scrutiny of the power dynamics in early modern birthing chambers paints a complex portrait of varied (inter)dependencies, the belief in a potentially disruptive and unruly midwife as well as a spectre of a threatening maternal influence lingers in analyses of English early modern drama. Relatively less attention is devoted to wetnurses, who, as I argue, constitute ‘invisible presences’ in dramas of Shakespeare’s era. Wetnurses’ fundamental role in infants’ development is only scantly alluded to or erased. In this paper I look at wetnurses’ erasures in Shakespeare’s early tragedy Titus Andronicus, late romance The Winter’s Tale and Middleton’s city comedy A Chaste Maid in Cheapside. Inspired by Eva Feder Kittay’s “dependency critique”, I wish to argue that nurses in English early modern drama function similarly to modern-day “dependency workers” whose role grows out of fundamental dependency; a fact of human existence obfuscated by the cult of human individualism and self-sufficiency that has historically served only the privileged select of (white) males. Depictions of wetnurses both reflect the necessity for ‘dispersed’ maternal care and simultaneously unveil the failings of a care-taking system that refuses to valorise their work. If English early modern drama reflects tangible realities of early modern women’s lives it also illustrates a systemic failure to accommodate for dependents; labouring women and their infants. Keywords: wet-nursing in early modern drama; dependency work; dependency critique; pregnancy and maternity in Shakespeare; pregnancy and maternity in Middleton

description: Although Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations are still the dominant tool for engineering design and analysis applications involving turbulent flows, standard RANS models are known to be unreliable in many flows of engineering relevance, including flows with separation, strong pressure gradients or mean flow curvature. With increasing amounts of 3-dimensional experimental data and high fidelity simulation data from Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS), data-driven turbulence modeling has become a promising approach to increase the predictive capability of RANS simulations. Recently, a data-driven turbulence modeling approach via machine learning has been proposed to predict the Reynolds stress anisotropy of a given flow based on high fidelity data from closely related flows. In this work, the closeness of different flows is investigated to assess the prediction confidence a priori. Specifically, the Mahalanobis distance and the kernel density estimation (KDE) technique are used as metrics to quantify the distance between flow data sets in feature space. The flow over periodic hills at Re=10595 is used as the test set and seven flows with different configurations are individually used as training set. The results show that the prediction error of the Reynolds stress anisotropy is positively correlated with Mahalanobis distance and KDE distance, demonstrating that both extrapolation metrics can be used to estimate the prediction confidence a priori. A quantitative comparison using correlation coefficients shows that the Mahalanobis distance is less accurate in estimating the prediction confidence than KDE distance. The extrapolation metrics introduced in this work and the corresponding analysis provide an approach to aid in the choice of the data source and to assess the prediction confidence for data-driven turbulence modeling.

description: Dietary guidelines for many Western countries base their edible oil and fat recommendations solely on saturated fatty acid content. This study aims to demonstrate which nutritional and bioactive components make up commonly consumed edible oils and fats; and explore the health effects and strength of evidence for key nutritional and bioactive components of edible oils. An umbrella review was conducted in several stages. Food composition databases of Australia and the United States of America, and studies were examined to profile nutrient and bioactive content of edible oils and fats. PUBMED and Cochrane databases were searched for umbrella reviews, systematic literature reviews of randomized controlled trials or cohort studies, individual randomized controlled trials, and individual cohort studies to examine the effect of the nutrient or bioactive on high-burden chronic diseases (cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, cancer, mental illness, cognitive impairment). Substantial systematic literature review evidence was identified for fatty acid categories, tocopherols, biophenols, and phytosterols. Insufficient evidence was identified for squalene. The evidence supports high mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acid compositions, total biophenol content, phytosterols, and possibly high α-tocopherol content as having beneficial effects on high-burden health comes. Future dietary guidelines should use a more sophisticated approach to judge edible oils beyond saturated fatty acid content.

Year: 2018

description: This study was to analyze the influence of service quality on customer satisfaction using SERVQUAL model with regards to public transportation, specifically the Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit Service. In this study, level of customer's satisfaction is examined by the SERVQUAL method comprised five dimensions namely reliability, assurance, tangibility, empathy and responsiveness to wards service quality, the gap between passengers' perceptions and expectations of service quality was examined with the help of the GAP (SERVQUAL) model that was established by Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry and also the impact of service quality dimensions on customer satisfaction was analyzed. The research methodology is descriptive and explanatory designs in nature. The researcher used convenient sampling method in order to select the sample from the population. A total of 331 questionnaires were collected from customers. The data analysis was conducted through statistical techniques such as descriptive statistics, and inferential statistics using SPSS version 20. The finding indicates that service quality gap is wider in reliability, responsiveness, empathy, and assurance and tangible in descending order. Based on the result of the correlation, it shows that reliability, assurance, responsiveness, empathy and tangibility are positively and moderately correlated with customer satisfaction and also the multiple regression results revealed that all the five SERVQUAL dimensions and Overall Service Quality influence passenger's satisfaction. According to the result Overall service quality, followed by assurance, responsiveness, reliability, tangibility and empathy are positively influence passengers satisfaction in descending order with beta value of.766, 0.168,0.166, 0.152, 0.150 and 0.138 respectively in AALRT service. Furthermore, 68.8 % of the variations in customer satisfaction are explained by service quality dimensions in AALRT service. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher forwarded some recommendations to AALRT service corporate management. The corporate management should work on all the service quality dimensions to improve and maintain its passenger satisfaction.

description: We present a simple and natural dark sector model in which dark matter particles arise as composite states of hidden strong dynamics and their stability is ensured by accidental symmetries. The model has only a few free parameters. In particular, the gauge symmetry of the model forbids the masses of dark quarks, and the confinement scale of the dynamics provides the unique mass scale of the model. The gauge group contains an Abelian symmetry $U(1)_D$, which couples the dark and standard model sectors through kinetic mixing. This model, despite its simple structure, has rich and distinctive phenomenology. In the case where the dark pion becomes massive due to $U(1)_D$ quantum corrections, direct and indirect detection experiments can probe thermal relic dark matter which is generically a mixture of the dark pion and the dark baryon, and the Large Hadron Collider can discover the $U(1)_D$ gauge boson. Alternatively, if the dark pion stays light due to a specific $U(1)_D$ charge assignment of the dark quarks, then the dark pion constitutes dark radiation. The signal of this radiation is highly correlated with that of dark baryons in dark matter direct detection.

In the Shadow of Phaedra. The Nurse on Stage between Euripides, Seneca and Marina Cvetaeva
Creators: name: Puccio, Francesco
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2022

description: In Euripides’ Crowned Hippolytus, a tragedy in which Phaedra does not openly declare her feelings for Theseus’ son, allowing herself to be consumed by pain, the protagonist, in a close dialogue with the Nurse, asks what the essence of love is for humans (τί τοῦθ’ ὃ δὴ λέγουσιν ἀνθρώπους ἐρᾶν, 347). And the answer seems almost a prophecy anticipating what is to come (ἥδιστον, ὦ παῖ, ταὐτὸν ἀλγεινόν θ’ ἅμα, 348; a very pleasant thing, daughter, but which is painful at the same time).1 Only in a second moment, Phaedra will really confide in her, pushing her, under the illusion that this could be useful, to break the promise not to tell Hippolytus anything. Thus, in Euripides’ text, the Nurse assumes an essential dramaturgical role, as it happens in Seneca’s Phaedra in which, however, the heroine, having put aside her silence, seeks an immediate remedy for her lovesickness by means of a revealing word. Also in this case the Nurse, far from being an ancillary character, plays a key role: although she does not reveal directly to Hippolytus that her stepmother is in love with him, since it will be Phaedra herself who will confess the truth to her beloved, she will become her accomplice in deceiving Theseus with the story of a rape that never happened. The aim of this contribution is to reflect on the character of the Nurse, both linguistically and scenically, in Euripides’ Crowned Hippolytus, Seneca’s Phaedra and, in the perspective of the story’s reception on the modern stage, in Marina Cvetaeva’s Phaedra (1928). The Russian poetess shows a Phaedra not unlike the classical models, mad with love, who nevertheless does not want to admit that she loves Hippolytus. But, what is particularly interesting in this tragedy, is the character of the Nurse who tries, through Phaedra’s passion, to experience those emotions that life denied her in youth, dividing herself between love for the queen and hatred for Hippolytus.
