description: Despite the unique hydrological properties exhibited by frozen soil, its characteristics are often oversimplified in most distributed hydrological models, resulting in major errors in material cycle predictions in cold climate regions. This study aims to modify the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), a semi-distributed hydrological model that originally assumes no water movement in frozen soil layers, by incorporating the dynamic change of soil permeability based on the degree of soil freezing, and to understand the effect of water movement in frozen soil on watershed hydrology. SWAT with frozen soil permeability (SWAT-FSP) was developed by adding two modules to the original SWAT: a heat conduction equation that considers the phase change of ice and liquid water and a frozen-soil percolation model that considers dynamic decrease in soil permeability due to soil freezing. The original SWAT and SWAT-FSP were set up in the Tokoro River watershed in northern Japan. The river flow and soil water dynamics during the snowmelt period (March–May) simulated using the original SWAT and SWAT-FSP were compared. The modified model significantly alters the soil water dynamics simulation to generate earlier soil water drainage and reduces the soil water content during the snowmelt period in years featuring weak soil freezing. Consequently, the SWAT-FSP estimated an earlier increase in river flow at the beginning of the snowmelt period and a smaller river flow in the middle of the snowmelt period as compared with the original SWAT. The modified model improved the overall performance in river flow simulation for the snowmelt period (March–May) of 2012–2019. The Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency obtained during the calibration period by the original SWAT was 0.602, and during the validation period it was 0.367. For the SWAT-FSP, it was 0.659 during calibration, and 0.639 during validation. Meanwhile, the SWAT-FSP showed unsatisfactory performance in 2014 and 2015, with underestimated snow water equivalent, indicating that improvements in the snowmelt/accumulation module may further enhance its accuracy. Our results showed that the dynamic change of soil permeability governed by the degree of soil freezing is an important factor affecting the water cycle of cold climate watersheds with seasonally frozen soil.
Emotion Processing in Adult Survivors of Childhood Maltreatment

description: Childhood maltreatment increases risk for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Maladaptive patterns of attention to threat-related stimuli warrant examination as possible contributing risk factors. It remains unclear whether persistent threat-processing biases are differentially apparent in adults who were maltreated as children and either did, or did not, develop later PTSD. The present study examined associations among attention bias, childhood maltreatment, and PTSD in adults. We hypothesized that attentional bias toward threat significantly mediates associations between childhood maltreatment and adult PTSD symptoms. 183 adults with and without childhood maltreatment histories participated in this study, which involved completion of a range of clinical measures; attention bias was measured by the Dot Probe task. We found that attention bias toward happy faces partially mediated the relationship between childhood maltreatment and PTSD avoidance and numbing symptoms. Childhood maltreatment, happy face attention bias, and perceived racially discriminative experiences all accounted for significant variance in PTSD symptoms.

description: To investigate how the long-term application of inorganic fertilizer and organic amendments affects the turnover rates of organic matter in physico-chemically fractionated components in paddy soils and how their rates are related to their amounts, we studied the effect of variable management of inorganic fertilizer and organic amendments for > 50 years on the ∆14C values of accumulated soil organic carbon (SOC) in fractionated components of 5 soil samples from three paddy fields. SOC was fractionated into four components based on their physico-chemical properties: (1) light fraction (LF) derived from plant residues, (2) heavy fraction (HF) containing stable aggregates, (3) oxidizable fraction (OxF) and (4) non-oxidizable fraction (NOxF) forming organo-mineral complexes with fine-textured minerals. The ∆14C values were determined by accelerator mass spectrometry using graphitized samples. The ∆14C values of SOC in NOxF (from −305‰ to − 90.5‰) were much lower than those of HF (from −123‰ to − 3.7‰) and OxF (from −215‰ to 21.0‰). Lowest values for NOxF suggested slowest turnover rates as expected, and higher and comparable values for OxF and HF implied much faster turnover rates of SOC in OxF compared with upland soils. This could be one of the characteristics of SOC dynamics in paddy soils, probably reflecting repeated puddling of plow layer soils. ∆14C values in all the fractions increased in response to the application of inorganic fertilizer and organic amendments, suggesting faster turnover rate. Soils with clayey and weathered characteristics had the lowest ∆14C values, or slowest turnover rates among the study fields. The relationship between the ∆14C value and the amount of accumulated C for HF, OxF and NOxF indicated that the more the SOC accumulated, the faster the turnover rate of the SOC was, regardless of the fractions, and the relationship of the HF was considerably different from those of OxF and NOxF. In conclusion, these results can be the basis for understanding the C dynamics and for improving soil fertility status and soil C sequestration in paddy soils.
Riconoscimento, appropriazione e costruzione di un’immagine del cambiamento nelle esperienze di valorizzazione della città operaia.

description: Il contributo analizza i meccanismi di riscoperta e valorizzazione dei quartieri per la residenza operaia, con l’obiettivo di verificare quali siano le condizioni che permettono a testimonianze lontane dall’eccezionalità e per molti aspetti ancora cariche di una memoria conflittuale di reinventarsi e quanto, al contrario, approcci inadatti inducano il radicamento di posizioni e forme di appropriazione che impediscono un effettivo ripensamento del luogo.
In particolare, il confronto fra i modelli utilizzati nel campo delle scienze sociali per l’analisi dei processi di patrimonializzazione e alcune significative esperienze realizzate permette di mettere in luce l’esistenza di una “zona grigia”, in cui non riescono ad emergere le dinamiche della rottura e dell’appropriazione identitaria che caratterizzano i modelli descritti in letteratura ed in particolare i modella della patrimonializzazione spontanea ed istituzionale.

È quindi necessario mettere a punto nuovi modelli e nuovi approcci, che tengano conto dell’effettivo contesto in cui i progetti vengono avviati e delle specificità di questo patrimonio “scomodo”.

The paper analyses the processes of rediscovery and valorisation of the working-class neighbourhoods, in order to verify under which conditions this ordinary and in some cases “conflicting” legacies can reinvent themselves and how, on the contrary, inadequate approaches would reinforce beliefs and forms of appropriation that prevent a real rethinking of the site.
Through the comparison between the models developed in the field of social sciences, that describe the conditions for cultural heritage valorisation, and some significant experiences, a sort of “grey zone” has been pointed out in which the dynamics of rupture and appropriation that characterize the two main models (spontaneous or institutional) don't arise.
A new approach and new tools are needed, that take into account the social and identitarian context of the projects, and the specific nature of this "uneasy" kind of heritage

Does the Relationship Matter? A Closer Examination of the of Relationship Quality in Program Fidelity Research
Creators: name: Weinberg, Joanna
Publisher: name: Georgia State University

description: Program evaluations are increasingly assessing the impact of treatment delivery and program processes on outcomes. The current study examined the effects of program fidelity, measured across various dimensions, and relationship quality on behavior change and knowledge gained outcomes in 241 middle and high school students who were participating in Expect Respect, an evidence-based dating violence prevention program. Cross-level, hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) analyses found that program fidelity was not a significant predictor of participant outcomes. However, main effects for relationship quality were present for the knowledge gained outcome measure. Subsequent cross-level interactions provided further support for the importance of relationship quality in prevention program outcomes.

description: This study aimed to evaluate assessment and referral practices for the early detection and diagnosis of children at risk for or with cerebral palsy (CP) by health care and education providers in Maryland and Delaware. A secondary aim was to identify barriers for using early detection tools and identify opportunities for change to support early diagnosis and improve care. Seventy-two participants answered ≥ 50% of the survey questions. Most were occupational or physical therapists (86%) working in early intervention (61%). Eighty-eight percent indicated awareness that CP can be diagnosed by 12 months. Though 86% stated they typically suspect a diagnosis of CP between 0 and 12 months, only 19% reported that their patients received a CP diagnosis < 12 months. The Developmental Assessment of Young Children (73%) and the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 (59%) were used most. Many respondents indicated never using magnetic resonance imaging (70%), the General Movements Assessment (87%), or the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Exam (69%). Participants identified clinical signs and symptoms prompting a referral for the diagnostic assessment of CP, most commonly stiffness in legs (95%), excessive head lag (93%), and persistent fisting (92%). Policy and organizational change, clinician education, and training are needed to support the implementation of CP early detection guidelines.

description: This paper deals with the geo-territorial analysis of the impacts exerted by cultural policies in a deeply marginalised suburban neighbourhood in Catania, called Librino, where in recent years many creativity-based projects have been attempting at containing socio-economic marginalisation. In fact, a no profit foundation, local actors and civic associations promoting these projects aim at limiting the deeply-rooted disadvantages of the territory, by involving the local community, particularly the youth, in art-based activities and events. Thus, this work aims at highlighting the effects of these projects, analysed within the theoretical frame of urban and geographical studies about peripheries, by tracing the urban history of this satellite quarter and its recent evolution thanks to the brand of art and creativity.

Il presente lavoro si basa sull’analisi geo-territoriale degli impatti esercitati dalle politiche culturali in un quartiere profondamente emarginato della periferia di Catania, chiamato Librino, dove negli ultimi anni molti progetti basati sulla creatività hanno tentato di arginare la marginalità socio-economica. Infatti, una fondazione non profit, gli attori locali e le associazioni civili che promuovono questi progetti mirano a limitare gli svantaggi insiti nella condizione di marginalità del territorio, attraverso il coinvolgimento della comunità locale, in particolare i giovani, in eventi e attività improntati all’arte. In particolare, il presente lavoro è finalizzato a evidenziare gli effetti di tali progetti, analizzati nell’ambito della cornice teorica degli studi urbani e geografici sulle periferie, tracciando un affresco dell’evoluzione storica di questo quartiere satellite e della sua configurazione attuale grazie al brand dell’arte e della creatività.

A Developmental Approach to Sibling Relationships: Disaggregating the Components of Sibling Relationship Quality over Time for Siblings of Individuals with Intellectual Disability
Creators: name: Richardson, Shana
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: Siblings can serve as significant companions and caregivers for individuals with ID throughout the lifespan. Yet, the developmental course of sibling relationships for siblings of individuals with ID has not been well addressed in the current literature. Thus, the current study examined change over time in four dimensions of relationship quality (power, intimacy, conflict, and rivalry) as well as how the constellation variables of sex, birth order, and age differences affected the development of relationship quality. Sibling relationships were found to have a stable power structure, with the nondisabled sibling reporting higher levels of power in the relationship. Developmental trajectories indicated that these relationships grew in positive regard while levels of conflict decreased over time. Yet, behaviors characterizing intimate relationships did not show similar increases. Constellation variables were found to have effects on specific relationship dimensions, including conflict and intimate behaviors.

description: The purpose of this study was to examine group perpetrated antigay violence. Specifically, the effects of MGRS, peer dynamics, and increases in negative affect on antigay aggression were examined. The differential utility of aggression toward gay and heterosexual targets in relieving a state of negative affect (e.g., anger, fear) was also evaluated. Participants completed questionnaires that included a measure of MGRS, and then were assigned to one of three group conditions(individual, stranger, and friend). Participants then viewed a video depicting male-male intimacy and competed in the TAP against either a fictitious gay or heterosexual opponent. Results showed a main effect for condition, such that higher levels of aggression were observed in the group, relative to the individual, conditions. Analyses also revealed a significant positive relation between MGRS and aggression among participants competing with a stranger against a heterosexual opponent. Neither condition nor opponent differentially predicted changes in negative affect.
Perception of Synthetic Speech by a Language-Trained Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes)
Creators: name: Heimbauer, Lisa
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: Ability of human listeners to understand altered speech is argued as evidence of uniquely human processing abilities, but early auditory experience also may contribute to this capability. I tested the ability of Panzee, a language-trained chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), reared and spoken to from infancy by humans, to recognize synthesized words. Training and testing was conducted with different sets of English words in natural, ?harmonics-only? (resynthesized using only voiced components), or ?noise-vocoded? (based on amplitude-modulated noise bands) forms, with Panzee choosing from ?lexigram? symbols that represented words. In Experiment 1 performance was equivalent with words in natural and harmonics-only form. In Experiment 2 performance with noise-vocoded words was significantly higher than chance but lower than with natural words. Results suggest specialized processing mechanisms are not necessary to speech perception in the absence of traditional acoustic cues, with the more important factor for speech-processing abilities being early immersion in a speech-rich environment.
Frontal Alpha and Beta EEG Power Asymmetry and Iowa Gambling Task Performance

description: Frontal electroencephalographic (EEG) alpha (à) asymmetry may index the activation of lateralized affect and motivation systems in humans. Resting EEG activation was measured and its relationship to Iowa gambling task (IGT) performance was evaluated. No effects were found for à power asymmetry. However, beta (?) power asymmetry, an alternative measure of resting EEG activation, was associated with the number of risky decisions made in the early portion of the task. Additionally, IGT deck selection patterns suggest there are at least three distinct performance styles in healthy individuals. Interestingly, ? power asymmetry contradicts performance predictions based on accepted frontal asymmetry affect and motivation models.

description: Parent child communications about sex play an important role in influencing adolescent?s sexual behaviors and attitudes. The present study was conducted to examine how sexual communications between African American mothers and their children change over a period of three years in the areas of sex education, communication about risk reduction, and child and parent report of responsiveness. Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) analyses found significant linear or curvilinear trajectory in communication with sons and daughters in all areas. Gender differences were found such that daughters received more communication than sons. Furthermore, daugthers? sexual maturation was found to be associated with a decrease in the rate of decline of communication about general sex information. For sons, mothers decreased in rates of responsiveness as sons got older; however, as sons? sexual maturation increased, rates of declining responsiveness slowed down.

description: Despite decreasing rates of teen pregnancy within the U.S., rates remain high for African American girls (Guttmacher Institute, 2006). Comprehensive youth development programs aim to address teen pregnancy. This study examined the role of natural mentors in relation to participation in Cool Girls, Inc. and girls? sexual efficacy among middle school girls. Furthermore, the quality of natural mentor relationship was assessed. Results provide no support that participation in the program and the presence of a natural mentor significantly affects sexual efficacy. Furthermore, the quality of natural mentor relationship did not significantly increase girls? sexual efficacy. However, while not explicitly hypothesized, older girls reported significantly higher sexual efficacy. Limitations and strengths of the study are discussed. Directions for future research and intervention are suggested.

description: Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure used to correct structural spinal damage or abnormalities. Recovery is painful and consists of a minimum 3-day hospital stay. Specific body positioning is necessary for healing but is difficult to maintain due to physical discomfort. The purpose of this study was to use a single-subject multiple baseline design to compare the current practice of using standard hospital pillows to a body-sized pillow for increasing comfort and decreasing pain in pediatric patients recovering from spinal fusion surgery. Four adolescents who had recently undergone spinal fusion surgery served as participants. Outcome measures included self- and nurse-report, heart rate, and requested medication. Three patients found that the BodyPillow? increased their comfort as they recovered from surgery; the fourth reported that he was less comfortable. No changes in pain were reported with the BodyPillow?. Results should help guide medical care and future research regarding pediatric spinal fusion recovery.

description: Background: During the early period of the COVID-19 pandemic, public health orders disrupted income generation in numerous sectors and many governments provided emergency financial support. Access to government support and changes in engagement in sex work during the early period of the pandemic among people who use drugs (PWUD) are not well described. In the present study, we investigate the prevalence and correlates of engaging in sex work during the COVID-19 pandemic, among PWUD in Vancouver, Canada. Methods: Data derived from three harmonized cohorts of PWUD. Using multivariable logistic regression, we characterized factors associated with engaging in sex work in the last month between July 17 and November 30, 2020. Reports of changes in frequency of engagement in sex work since the pandemic were also collected. Results: Of the 864 individuals included in this analysis, 55 (6.4%) reported sex work engagement in the last month. Among these participants, 40.7% reported receiving COVID-19 income support in the past month vs. 52.7% of the rest of the sample, though receipt of income support in the past six months was similar between the two groups (72.2% vs. 75.7%, p = 0.624). In multivariable analysis, receipt of financial support in the last month was negatively associated with engagement in sex work in the last month (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 0.44 [95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.24–0.81]). Among 69 participants who responded to a question regarding changes in engagement in sex work, 38 (55.1%) reported a decrease, 11 (15.9%) reported an increase, 19 (27.5%) reported no change, and 1 (1.4%) reported cessation. Conclusions: Findings document that engagement in sex work appears to have declined early in the pandemic. Participants who received income support in the past month were less likely to report recent engagement in sex work. Findings suggest that recent receipt of income support may have contributed to reductions in engagement in sex work. Additional investigation is warranted.

description: The purpose of the current study is determine if the presence of a natural mentor, and/or the quality of relationship within prot‚g‚-mentor relationships, predicts the development of Future Orientation (FO) among African American girls living in conditions of risk. A sample of 160 girls of African descent was recruited from 6 elementary and middle schools. An exploratory factor analysis of 19 FO items suggested a 2-factor model consisting of (1) motivation and (2) planning. The model did not support the third expected factor, evaluation. The presence of natural mentors failed to predict concurrent levels of FO. Relationship quality did significantly predict concurrent levels of FO. Post-hoc analyses indicated that the consistent presence of a natural mentor predicted the development of FO. Post-hoc analyses also indicated the relationship quality with one?s, significantly predicted the development of FO among consistently mentored girls. Methodological limitations and implications for future research are discussed.
The Role of GABAergic Transmission in Mediation of Striatal Local Field Potentials (LFPs)
Creators: name: Seiscio, Andrew
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: In the present study, electrophysiological and behavioral effects of compromised Gama-Aminobutyric Acid (GABAergic) transmission were investigated in adult Rhesus macaque monkeys (N=2).  GABAergic transmission was perturbed in the putamen by administration of a GABAa receptor antagonist, gabazine (10 and 500 ?M), via a microdialysis-local field potential (MD-LFP) probe.  Resultant changes in striatal local field potentials (LFPs) were measured as an assay of synchrony. 
 
     Gabazine perfusion evoked discrete large amplitude spikes in LFPs in all subjects, and the frequency and shape of individual spikes were concentration-dependent.  Pre-treatment with the GABAa receptor agonist, muscimol (100 ?M) blocked the gabazine-induced events, confirming a role for GABAa receptors in the effects.  Behavioral manifestations of gabazine treatment were observed only at the maximum concentration.  Unusual facial movements suggested aberrant electrical activity was propagated from striatum to motor cortex, perhaps via reentrant circuits.  These results support a role for GABAergic transmission in segregation of striatal circuits.

Exploring the Relationship between Racial Factors and Critical Social Analysis among a Group of African American Youth
Creators: name: Green, Brandeis
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: The aim of this study was to investigate the contributions of racial identity and racial socialization beyond peer and parental influence, to the development of critical social analysis in African American youth. Young people perceive injustice and inequality in their world in varying ways. The recognition of societal inequalities, or the development of critical social analysis may be a contributing factor to activism for youth. Factors such as sense of agency, parental and peer influence and intellectual curiosity have previously been explored as contributors to activism for African American youth (Watts, 1999). Study results indicated support for the link between racial identity, racial socialization and a specific factor of critical social analysis. Implications of the findings as well as future directions are discussed.

description: Amaranth leaves are rich in micronutrients and health-promoting secondary metabolites, but highly perishable. The effect of osmodehydration and drying on nutritional quality, health-promoting compounds and their postharvest preservation in Amaranthus
cruentus leaves was investigated. The experimental set up consisted of four treatment variants with different levels of osmotic solution (NaCl) concentration, temperature and immersion time, i.e.; variant 1 (2.5%, 20 °C, 60 min), variant 2 (10%, 20°C, 60 min), variant 3 (10%, 40°C, 60 min), and variant 4 (10%, 40°C, 180 min). Osmodehydrated leaves were oven-dried at 30°C or 60°C, freeze-dried or stored at ambient temperature for 3 days, with non-osmodehydrated leaves as control. Results showed that proteins,minerals (Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn), carotenoids, flavonoids, and phenolic acids were preserved in osmodehydrated leaves with no significant changes, except proteins in freeze-dried and a significantly decreased chlorophyll content in both freeze- and oven-dried leaves of variant 4, corresponding to higher osmotic solution concentration, temperature and longer immersion time. During shelf-life, most nutrients and secondary metabolites were maintained with no significant changes, except protein that significantly increased while ascorbic acid and chlorophylls in both osmodehydrated and control leaves significantly decreased. Lower-temperature and shorter-time immersion resulted in better quality preservation.

description: The dicistrovirus intergenic (IGR) IRES uses the most streamlined translation initiation mechanism: the IRES recruits ribosomes directly without using protein factors and initiates translation from a non-AUG codon. Several subtypes of dicistroviruses IRES have been identified; typically, the IRESs adopt two -to three overlapping pseudoknots with key stem-loop and unpaired regions that interact with specific domains of the ribosomal 40S and 60S subunits to direct translation. We previously predicted an atypical IGR IRES structure and a potential -1 programmed frameshift (-1 FS) signal within the genome of the whitefly Bemisia-associated dicistrovirus 2 (BaDV-2). Here, using bicistronic reporters, we demonstrate that the predicted BaDV-2 -1 FS signal can drive -1 frameshifting in vitro via a slippery sequence and a downstream stem-loop structure that would direct the translation of the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Moreover, the predicted BaDV-2 IGR can support IRES translation in vitro but does so through a mechanism that is not typical of known factorless dicistrovirus IGR IRES mechanisms. Using deletion and mutational analyses, the BaDV-2 IGR IRES is mapped within a 140-nucleotide element and initiates translation from an AUG codon. Moreover, the IRES does not bind directly to purified ribosomes and is sensitive to eIF2 and eIF4A inhibitors NSC1198983 and hippuristanol, respectively, indicating an IRES-mediated factor-dependent mechanism. Biophysical characterization suggests the BaDV-2 IGR IRES contains several stem-loops; however, mutational analysis suggests a model whereby the IRES is unstructured or adopts distinct conformations for translation initiation. In summary, we have provided evidence of the first -1 FS frameshifting signal and a novel factor-dependent IRES mechanism in this dicistrovirus family, thus highlighting the diversity of viral RNA-structure strategies to direct viral protein synthesis.

description: Soil fertility and crop productivity in the Nile Delta are severely threatened by soil salinization. Hence, the development of reliable techniques to enhance the salinity tolerance of plants is an essential prerequisite for the desirable sustainable agricultural development in Egypt. In the present study, we evaluated the influence of seeds priming using a magnetic field (MF) at different exposure times (0, 15, 30, and 45 min), either alone or combined with seeds pre-soaking or foliar spraying with seaweed extracts of Hydroclathrus clathratus and Acanthophora spicifera. The effects on soil properties, growth, yield, and seed quality of Vicia faba grown in saline soil were assessed. Results indicated that MF-treated seeds (MFTS), either alone or coupled with seaweed treatments, distinctly improved soil characterization by decreasing EC and pH niches, and also increased the availability of soil macro- and micronutrient elements, particularly at MF long exposure time (≥30 min). MFTS and/or MFTS with seaweed treatments at 30 min improved soil fertility indices (CO2 evolution and nitrogenase activity) and induced the highest increases of macro- and micro-nutrient contents in seeds, plant growth and seed quality. Additionally, enhancement of chlorophyll a and b, carbohydrates and amino acids, and decreasing proline levels were the bases of salinity stress alleviation. Conclusively, seed priming in the MF coupled with foliar spraying of seaweed extracts could be a sustainable and affordable approach for cultivating V. faba plants under salinity stress conditions.

Nuovi documenti su Emanuele di Bonaiuto da Camerino, banchiere e uomo di cultura ebreo tra le Marche e la Toscana del XV secolo
Creators: name: Toniazzi, Mafalda

description: Le Marche e la Toscana, ed in particolare Camerino e Firenze, hanno portato avanti tra pieno Medioevo ed Età Moderna un costante dialogo (sostenuto da motivazioni politiche e commerciali e dalla circolazione di uomini e di merci) che non è rimasto circoscritto alla sola sfera economica, ma ha interessato anche l’ambito culturale.
Questo contributo intende concentrarsi particolarmente sulla figura dell’ebreo Emanuele di Bonaiuto da Camerino, un grande banchiere ed un valente uomo d’affari, protagonista di tale dialogo, che fu anche un attento studioso, capace di raccogliere intorno a sé personaggi del calibro di Jehuda Messer Leon, Yochanan Alemanno ed Ovadiah da Bertinoro, di collazionare una nutrita biblioteca e di agire, dunque, da tramite culturale tra le due realtà territoriali.
Between the Middle and Modern Ages, Marche and Tuscany, and especially Camerino and Florence, were involved in a constant dialogue (supported by commercial and political reasons and by the movement of people and goods) that has not been confined to the economics, but has also interested the cultural sphere as well.
 This paper intends to focus particularly on the figure of the Jew Emanuel of Bonaiuto da Camerino, a famous banker and a talented businessman, one of the protagonists of this trend, who was also a keen scholar, able to gather around him great personalities of the coeval culture (like Jehuda Messer Leon, Yochanan Alemanno and Ovadiah of Jehuda from Bertinoro), to collate an important library and acting, therefore, as an intermediary between the two regions.

The Cross Race Effect: The Influence of Stereotypicality on Memory Errors
Creators: name: Knuycky, Leslie
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: In eyewitness identification cases, suspect misidentification is the leading factor attributed to wrongful convictions (Scheck, Neufeld, & Dwyer, 2000), thus, it is of applied importance to identify factors that contribute to the false recollection of faces. One potential factor addressed in the current study was whether face memory and subsequent identification for other-race-faces is biased by the degree to which a target face posses facial features associated with ethnic identity. Individual differences in level of processing (global, local) and prejudice were tested as potential mechanisms contributing to biased judgments. In Experiment 1 a standard face recognition task revealed that prejudice, level of processing, and face-type interacted to predict recognition bias. In Experiment 2 results showed that positive misidentifications (i.e., choosing an incorrect foil) were more likely when a stereotypical versus non-stereotypical Black actor was witnessed committing the crime. Results are discussed in terms of theoretical and practical implications.
