description: Cultural astronomy is an interdisciplinary area of research that studies how perceptions and concepts related to the sky are part of the worldview of a culture. One of its branches, archaeoastronomy, focuses on the material remains of past peoples and tries to investigate their practices and astronomical knowledge. In this context, the orientation of Christian churches is now considered a distinctive feature of their architecture that repeats patterns from early Christian times. There is a general tendency to align their altars in the solar range, with preference for orientations towards the east. Here we present recent data from our measurements of astronomical orientations of old churches located in two --geographically and culturally-- very distant regions, and we discuss the results in the light of the historical and cultural knowledge surrounding these temples.

title: Talking Girls: New Femininities, Old Moralities
Creators: name: Dane, Julia
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2007

description: This research began with the aim to investigate girls' understanding and negotiations of post-feminist femininity. There have been identified shifts in discourses of femininity across the last thirty years, with the term "new femininities" coined to encapsulate perceived changes. This term suggests a shift from patriarchal femininities founded in traditional moralities, to new discourses of femininity in terms of freedom and choice. For the purposes of this project, music video has been identified as a way to map out changing representations of femininity. Music videos, which include sound and movement with visual image, are targeted at a teenage audience. At the time the research was conducted, female artists such as Christina Aguilera and 8eyonce Knowles epitomised the successful, independent and sexy post-feminist woman. To explore girls' engagements with discourses of new femininities, a series of focus groups were conducted with girls aged thirteen and fourteen. Music videos, as a visual representation of the research question, were shown to prompt group discussion. This is an empirical project whose aim is to explore the themes that emerge in the girls' talk. A form of conversation analysis that looks specifically at female talk underpins the method of analysis. Foucault's concept of discourse is used to consider how ways of doing femininity is present in the girls' talk. The analysis also takes into account the interactions within the focus groups, producing a rich and nuanced account of both talk and embodied interaction. This research highlights how new femininities have produced new points of negotiation in contemporary accounts of growing up girl. Further, the thesis will argue that regardless of shifts in discourses of femininities, traditional moral values remain a dominant point of negotiation in the process of growing up girl. The focus on the girls' talk produces a significant contribution to debates around new femininities, by adding girls' voices to academic debate.

description: Hemangioblastomas (HBs) of the central nervous system are highly vascular neoplasms that occur sporadically or as a manifestation of von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) disease. Despite their benign nature, HBs are clinically heterogeneous and can be associated with significant morbidity due to mass effects of peritumoral cysts or tumor progression. Underlying molecular factors involved in HB tumor biology remain elusive. We investigated genome-wide DNA methylation profiles and clinical and histopathological features in a series of 47 HBs from 42 patients, including 28 individuals with VHL disease. Thirty tumors occurred in the cerebellum, 8 in the brainstem and 8 HBs were of spinal location, while 1 HB was located in the cerebrum. Histologically, 12 HBs (26%) belonged to the cellular subtype and exclusively occurred in the cerebellum, whereas 35 HBs were reticular (74%). Unsupervised clustering and dimensionality reduction of DNA methylation profiles revealed two distinct subgroups. Methylation cluster 1 comprised 30 HBs of mainly cerebellar location (29/30, 97%), whereas methylation cluster 2 contained 17 HBs predominantly located in non-cerebellar compartments (16/17, 94%). The sum of chromosomal regions being affected by copy-number alterations was significantly higher in methylation cluster 1 compared to cluster 2 (mean 262 vs. 109 Mb, p = 0.001). Of note, loss of chromosome 6 occurred in 9/30 tumors (30%) of methylation cluster 1 and was not observed in cluster 2 tumors (p = 0.01). No relevant methylation differences between sporadic and VHL-related HBs or cystic and non-cystic HBs could be detected. Deconvolution of the bulk DNA methylation profiles revealed four methylation components that were associated with the two methylation clusters suggesting cluster-specific cell-type compositions. In conclusion, methylation profiling of HBs reveals 2 distinct subgroups that mainly associate with anatomical location, cytogenetic profiles and differences in cell type composition, potentially reflecting different cells of origin.

Bulk Local States and Crosscaps in Holographic CFT

description: In a weakly coupled gravity theory in the anti-de Sitter space, local states in the bulk are linear superpositions of Ishibashi states for a crosscap in the dual conformal field theory. The superposition structure can be constrained either by the microscopic causality in the bulk gravity or the bootstrap condition in the boundary conformal field theory. We show, contrary to some expectation, that these two conditions are not compatible to each other in the weak gravity regime. We also present an evidence to show that bulk local states in three dimensions are not organized by the Virasoro symmetry.

description: La adquisición del idioma extranjero inglés, es un proceso arduo, que además de potenciar habilidades, involucra factores determinantes, lo evidencian expertos quienes demuestran que la motivación, ansiedad y asunción de riesgo, son claves en tal proceso, por lo cual, se busca innovar y poner a la disposición una secuencia didáctica interactiva (Classroom) que contribuya a reducir el filtro afectivo de los estudiantes desde las destrezas activas (Listening-speaking). El análisis investigativo se centró en el aspecto emocional como elemento clave en el proceso de adquisición del inglés. La intervención se hizo con estudiantes de grado 601 de la I.E. San Francisco, empleando instrumentos tales como una encuesta diagnóstica inicial, prueba Cambridge, diarios de campo y una prueba de percepción final, así como una propuesta pedagógica centrada en la estudiante mediada por la plataforma Classroom. Se encontró que, mediante propuestas interactivas creativas y contextualizadas, los estudiantes se sienten más motivados y seguros, además los recursos digitales generan aprendizaje y autoconfianza para enfrentar las prácticas de comprensión y producción oral.

description: We mainly study numerical integration of real valued functions defined on the $d$-dimensional unit cube with all partial derivatives up to some finite order $r\ge1$ bounded by one. It is well known that optimal algorithms that use $n$ function values achieve the error rate $n^{-r/d}$, where the hidden constant depends on $r$ and $d$. Here we prove explicit error bounds without hidden constants and, in particular, show that the optimal order of the error is $\min \bigl\{1, d \, n^{-r/d}\bigr\}$, where now the hidden constant only depends on $r$, not on $d$. For $n=m^d$, this optimal order can be achieved by (tensor) product rules. We also provide lower bounds for integration defined over an arbitrary open domain of volume one. We briefly discuss how lower bounds for integration may be applied for other problems such as multivariate approximation and optimization.

description: In this article, I present the questions that I seek to answer in my PhD research. I posit to analyze natural language text with the help of semantic annotations and mine important events for navigating large text corpora. Semantic annotations such as named entities, geographic locations, and temporal expressions can help us mine events from the given corpora. These events thus provide us with useful means to discover the locked knowledge in them. I pose three problems that can help unlock this knowledge vault in semantically annotated text corpora: i. identifying important events; ii. semantic search; and iii. event analytics.

description: Die Lösungen der vierten Painlevéschen Differentialgleichung 2ww^''=(w^' )^2+3w^4+8zw^3+4(z^2-α) w^2+2β sind entweder rationale Funktionen oder in der komplexen Ebene transzendente meromorphe Funktionen endlicher Ordnung. Betrachtet werden die Lösungen deren Zählfunktion n(r,w)=O(r^2) genügt, die sogenannten subnormalen Lösungen. Mit Hilfe der Hermite-Weber Differentialgleichung w^'= -2±(w^2+2zw-2α) lassen sich unter dem Begriff Hermite-Weber Lösung alle Lösungen zusammenfassen, die sich aus Lösungen der Hermite-Weber Differentialgleiung unter sukzessiver Anwendung von Bäcklundtransformationen ergeben. Es gelingt8 die Zählfunktion signifikant zu reduzieren, so dass man nach endlich vielen Anwendungen geeigneter Bäcklundtransformationen in einer Hermite-Weber Differentialgleichung landet. Da dies für alle subnormalen Lösungen gelingt, folgt als Hauptresultat, dass jede subnormale Lösung der vierten Painlevéschen Differentialgleichung eine Hermite-Weber Lösung ist.

description: A theoretical rate constant for the associative detachment reaction Rb($^{2}S$)$+$OH$^{-}$($^{1}Σ^{+}$)$\rightarrow \,$ RbOH($^{1}Σ^{+}$)$+\,e^{-}$ of 4$\,\times$10$^{-10}$cm$^{3}$s$^{-1}$ at 300 K has been calculated. This result agrees with the experimental rate constant of 2$^{+2}_{-1}\,\times10^{-10}$cm$^{3}$s$^{-1}$ obtained by Deiglmayr \textit{et al.} (Phys. Rev. A 86, 2012) for a temperature between 200 K and 600 K. A Langevin-based dynamics which depends on the crossing point between the anion (RbOH$^{-}$) and neutral (RbOH) potential energy surfaces has been used. The calculation were performed using the ECP28MDF effective core potential to describe the rubidium atom at the CCSD(T) level of theory and extended basis sets. The effect of ECPs and basis set on the height of the crossing point, and hence the rate constant, has been investigated. The temperature dependence of the latter is also discussed. Preliminary work on the potential energy surface for the excited reaction channel Rb($^{2}P$)+OH$^{-}$($^{1}Σ^{+}$) calculated at the CASSF-icMRCI level of theory is shown. We qualitatively discuss the charge transfer and associative detachment reactions arising from this excited entrance channel.

Die Motivation dieser Arbeit liegt in der Notwendigkeit der Entwicklung von Diagnosemöglichkeiten für neuartige Hochstrom- Kurzpuls- und Hochbrillanzteilchenquellen wie sie in den aktuellen und kommenden Teilchenbeschleunigergenerationen verwendet werden sollen. Hierzu gibt die vorliegende Arbeit zunächst einen kurzen Überblick über den Formalismus zur Beschreibung von Teilchenpaketen in Phasenräumen und erläutert darauf aufbauend Verfahren um diese Phasenräume zu vermessen. Um diese Verfahren longitudinal aufgelöst durchführen zu können ist es erforderlich die Teilchenpakete in elektromagentischen Hochfrequenzfeldern transversal abzulenken. Die Erzeugung der hier für nötigen Hochfrequenzfelder findet in Hohlraumresonatoren statt. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschreibt ausführlich die Entwicklung eines neuartigen Hohlraumresonators welcher es ermöglicht die Verfahren zur longitudinal aufgelösten Bestimmung der transversalen Eigenschaften des Phasenraums von Teilchenpaketen zu vereinfachen und zu verbessern.

description: In this paper, we review pricing of variable annuity living and death guarantees offered to retail investors in many countries. Investors purchase these products to take advantage of market growth and protect savings. We present pricing of these products via an optimal stochastic control framework, and review the existing numerical methods. For numerical valuation of these contracts, we develop a direct integration method based on Gauss-Hermite quadrature with a one-dimensional cubic spline for calculation of the expected contract value, and a bi-cubic spline interpolation for applying the jump conditions across the contract cashflow event times. This method is very efficient when compared to the partial differential equation methods if the transition density (or its moments) of the risky asset underlying the contract is known in closed form between the event times. We also present accurate numerical results for pricing of a Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit (GMAB) guarantee available on the market that can serve as a benchmark for practitioners and researchers developing pricing of variable annuity guarantees.

description: This paper firstly show that 2 Dimensional Intelligent Driver Model (Jiang et al., PloS one, 9(4), e94351, 2014) is not able to replicate the synchronized traffic flow. Then we propose an improved model by considering the difference between the driving behaviors at high speeds and that at low speeds. Simulations show that the improved model can reproduce the phase transition from synchronized flow to wide moving jams, the spatiotemporal patterns of traffic flow induced by traffic bottleneck, and the evolution concavity of traffic oscillations (i.e. the standard deviation of the velocities of vehicles increases in a concave/linear way along the platoon). Validating results show that the empirical time series of traffic speed obtained from Floating Car Data can be well simulated as well.

description: We have analyzed rotational spectral line emission of OCS, CH3OH, HCOOCH3, and H2CS observed toward the low-mass Class 0 protostellar source IRAS 16293-2422 Source A at a sub-arcsecond resolution (~0".6 x 0".5) with ALMA. Significant chemical differentiation is found at a 50 AU scale. The OCS line is found to well trace the infalling-rotating envelope in this source. On the other hand, the CH3OH and HCOOCH3 distributions are found to be concentrated around the inner part of the infalling-rotating envelope. With a simple ballistic model of the infalling-rotating envelope, the radius of the centrifugal barrier (a half of the centrifugal radius) and the protostellar mass are evaluated from the OCS data to be from 40 to 60 AU and from 0.5 to 1.0 Msun, respectively, assuming the inclination angle of the envelope/disk structure to be 60 degrees (90 degrees for the edge-on configuration). Although the protostellar mass is correlated with the inclination angle, the radius of the centrifugal barrier is not. This is the first indication of the centrifugal barrier of the infalling-rotating envelope in a hot corino source. CH3OH and HCOOCH3 may be liberated from ice mantles due to weak accretion shocks around the centrifugal barrier, and/or due to protostellar heating. The H2CS emission seems to come from the disk component inside the centrifugal barrier in addition to the envelope component. The centrifugal barrier plays a central role not only in the formation of a rotationally-supported disk but also in the chemical evolution from the envelope to the protoplanetary disk.

title: Linguaggi per tutti. Percorsi per costruire la scuola interculturale
Creators: name: Meloni, Giorgia
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2023

description:

La scuola italiana rispecchia la società multiculturale in cui è inserita. Diventa quindi indispensabile predisporre percorsi educativi che si sviluppino secondo un approccio interculturale. In questo scenario i laboratori artistici possono rappresentare strumenti utili al fine di costruire spazi di partecipazione, attraverso i quali promuovere il dialogo interculturale. Il volume, partendo da una riflessione pedagogica circa il valore educativo dell’arte – attraverso i contributi e le esperienze di alcuni tra i più importanti pedagogisti del secolo scorso, soffermandosi inoltre sul concetto di “educazione interculturale” e sulle competenze degli insegnanti in tale prospettiva – si propone di indagare l’arte come strumento educativo, chiamando in causa anche il contributo della neuropedagogia. In questa sede vengono approfonditi quei processi che i linguaggi espressivi permettono di sviluppare nel percorso educativo e le diverse ricadute che questi sono in grado di produrre sulla didattica. La ricerca si sviluppa quindi intrecciando arte ed educazione interculturale con lo scopo di individuare nuove proposte per realizzare esperienze educative innovative all’interno della scuola odierna.

description: We investigate the instability of classical Yang-Mills field in an expanding geometry under a color magnetic background field within the linear regime. We consider homogeneous, boost-invariant and time-dependent color magnetic fields simulating the glasma configuration. We introduce the conformal coordinates which enable us to map an expanding problem approximately into a nonexpanding problem. We find that the fluctuations with finite longitudinal momenta can grow exponentially due to parametric instability. Fluctuations with finite transverse momenta can also show parametric instability, but their momenta are restricted to be small. The most unstable modes start to grow exponentially in the early stage of the dynamics and they may affect the thermalization in heavy-ion collisions.

Multivariate statistical process control using dynamic ensemble methods
Creators: name: Mejri, Dhouha
Publisher: name: Technische Universität Dortmund
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Ensemble methods
subject: Statistical process control
subject: 310

description: One important challenge with some applications such as credit card fraud detection, intrusion detection and network traffic monitoring is that data arrive in streams over time and leads to changes in concepts which are known in data mining as concept drift. Thus, models analyzing such data become obsolete and efficient learning should be able to identify these changes and quickly update the system to them. The objective of this dissertation is to investigate the effectiveness of ensemble methods and Statistical Process Control (SPC) techniques in detecting changes in processes in order to improve the robustness of tracking concept drift and coping with the dynamics of online data stream processes. For reaching this objective, different heuristics were proposed. First, an improved dynamic weighted majority Winnow algorithm based on ensemble methods is proposed. Furthermore, parameters optimization based on genetic algorithm of the proposed method as well as an analysis of its robustness are investigated. Second, in order to handle the problem of concept drift while monitoring nonstationary environment using SPC tools, a time adjusting control chart based on a recursive adaptive formulas of the charting statistics is proposed. Results show that the updating charts cope much better with the nonstationarity of the environment. Also, two new heuristics are proposed based on both ensemble methods and adaptive control charts. The first is an offline learning chart model while the second is an online batch learning algorithm. Results show that quick adaptation of the system and accurate shift point identification are achieved when using both heuristics together. Also, the new adaptive ensemble charts have better performance in learning concept drifts along with a good suitability to nonlinearity and noise issues.

description: The historic background of algorithmic processing with regard to etymology and methodology is translated into terms of mathematical logic and Computer Science. A formal logic structure is introduced by exemplaryquestions posed to Fiqh-chapters to define alogic query language. As a foundation, ageneric algorithm for deciding Fiqh-rulings is designed to enable and further leverage rule of law (vs. rule by law) with full transparency and complete algorithmic coverage of Islamic law eventually providing legal security, legal equality, and full legal accountability.This is implemented by disentangling and reinstating classic Fiqh-methodology (usul al-Fiqh) with the expressive power of subsets of First Order Logic (FOL)sustainably substituting ad hoc reasoning with falsifiable rational argumentation. The results are discussed in formal terms of completeness, decidability and complexity of formal Fiqh-systems. AnEntscheidungsproblem for formal Fiqh-Systems is formulated and validated.

Excitation Entanglement Entropy in 2d Conformal Field Theories

description: We analyze how excitations affect the entanglement entropy for an arbitrary entangling interval in a 2d conformal field theory (CFT) using the holographic entanglement entropy techniques as well as direct CFT computations. We introduce the excitation entanglement entropy Δ_h S, the difference between the entanglement entropy generic excitations and their arbitrary descendants denoted by h. The excitation entanglement entropy, unlike the entanglement entropy, is a finite quantity (independent of the cutoff), and hence a good physical observable. We show that the excitation entanglement entropy is governed by a second order differential equation sourced by the one point function of the energy momentum tensor computed in the excited background state. We analyze low and high temperature behavior of the excitation entanglement entropy and show that Δ_h S grows as function of temperature. We prove an "integrated positivity" for the excitation entanglement entropy, that although Δ_h S can be positive or negative, its average value is always positive. We also discuss the mutual and multipartite information with generic excitations.

description: Background: It is estimated that about 10.5% of the US population (34.2 million individuals) have diabetes.[2] The total estimated direct and indirect costs of diabetes diagnosed in the US increased from $ 188 billion in 2012 to $ 327 billion in 2017.[2] That year, diabetes was the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease and currently affects about 20% of patients with diabetes.[3] Diabetic retinopathy is seen in almost 50% of patients with diabetes and is currently the leading cause of new cases of blindness in adults aged 18 to 64 years. years.[2. 4] Diabetes has a high health cost, as it is a disease that if not detected and treated in time and regularly, causes serious complications such as cardiovascular disease, blindness, kidney disease, leg amputations, etc. 800 deaths every year in Albania are caused by Diabetes. In a 2004 study in Albania (ALBDIAB project 2004), the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes was approximately 1.5% of the adult population, which means that the number of diabetics was approximately 35,000. 75,000 people were treated with diabetes, of which over 25,000 were treated with insulin. Every year in Albania, approximately 3-4 thousand new cases of diabetes and 50-60 children are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. But we have a large number of cases still undiagnosed and with prediabetes. Even from preliminary Check-up data, the prevalence of undiagnosed Diabetes was approximately 4% and about 6% of participants were previously diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus. Diabetes is often associated with short-term and long-term complications, including foot complications, diabetic kidney disease, diabetic neuropathy, and diabetic retinopathy.

description: There is a recent surge in the development of spatio-temporal forecasting models in the transportation domain. Long-range traffic forecasting, however, remains a challenging task due to the intricate and extensive spatio-temporal correlations observed in traffic networks. Current works primarily rely on road networks with graph structures and learn representations using graph neural networks (GNNs), but this approach suffers from over-smoothing problem in deep architectures. To tackle this problem, recent methods introduced the combination of GNNs with residual connections or neural ordinary differential equations (ODE). However, current graph ODE models face two key limitations in feature extraction: (1) they lean towards global temporal patterns, overlooking local patterns that are important for unexpected events; and (2) they lack dynamic semantic edges in their architectural design. In this paper, we propose a novel architecture called Graph-based Multi-ODE Neural Networks (GRAM-ODE) which is designed with multiple connective ODE-GNN modules to learn better representations by capturing different views of complex local and global dynamic spatio-temporal dependencies. We also add some techniques like shared weights and divergence constraints into the intermediate layers of distinct ODE-GNN modules to further improve their communication towards the forecasting task. Our extensive set of experiments conducted on six real-world datasets demonstrate the superior performance of GRAM-ODE compared with state-of-the-art baselines as well as the contribution of different components to the overall performance.
