description: The research investments for the identification of modifiable factors associated with BC recurrences is increasing. Adiposity and other anthropometric indices have been acknowledged as factors involved in BC recurrences and mortality (1). Physical activity (PA) has the potential to counterbalance all of these risk factors (2). We designed a randomized controlled trial to test the effect of an aerobic PA program on anthropometric indices of adiposity and circadian rhythm activity level, evaluated by actigraphy, in BC women included in a dietary intervention trial for prevention of BC recurrences. 40 BC women, aged 35-70 years, were randomized into an intervention (IG=19) and a control group (CG=21). The IG participated in a 3-month active PA program that included two sessions of one-hour brisk walking per week. At baseline and after 3 months, both IG and CG were evaluated for the following parameters: height, weight, BMI, waist circumferences, % fat mass, % lean mass; energy expenditure and motion level (Total Energy Expenditure-TEE, number of steps, PA level, Metabolic Equivalents-METs) using a SenseWear Pro 3 Armband; and activity level circadian rhythm using the Actigraph Actiwatch. At the end of the 3-month PA program, IG showed a significant reduction in fat mass % while CG improved weight and BMI. The population mean cosinor applied to IG and CG at PRE and POST revealed the presence of a significant circadian rhythm in two groups (p<0.001). MESOR, Amplitude and Acrophase were not different in the two groups in pretest conditions. Amplitude decreased significantly between PRE and POST (F(1,38)=6.4, p=0.02). MESOR and acrophase remained unchanged. Our results suggest that a standardized PA program in BC survivors reduces anthropometric indices of adiposity and may represent an integrative intervention therapy able to modify behaviour.

Subjects: Anthropometrics; American football; Nike SPARQ Combine; high school

description: Height, body weight and body composition are different among American football players and this is due to the different movement demands for each playing position (1). The results of the National Football League (NFL) Combines are different for playing position and they are used by coaches and scouts to assess players’ physical abilities as a determinant of their success in the professional level (2). The purpose of this study was to examine anthropometric and performance differences among young football players of a top Italian team (Rhinos Milan) and to compare these values with the American high school football players. Participants (N=62) were categorized by position in 3 groups based on playing position: Skill players (SP) included wide receivers, cornerbacks, safeties, and running backs; Big skill players (BSP) consisted of fullbacks, linebackers, tight ends, and defensive ends; Lineman (LM) included centers, offensive guards, offensive and defensive tackles. Body weight and percentage of body fat were determined using the TANITA Body Composition Monitor BC-418 and we obtained performance results of the following Nike SPARQ Combine drills: 40-yard dash, vertical jump, 20-yard shuttle and the kneeling power ball toss (KPBT). The one-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey-Kramer post-hoc test showed significant differences for all the variables among the 3 playing categories: LM had higher anthropometric and body composition values than SP (p<0.001) and BSP (p<0.01) while they performed significantly worse in the physical tests, except for the KPBT (p<0.01). We calculated and compared the 95% confidence limits for each anthropometric and physical test parameter of Italian and American players: American high school players had higher values for all the anthropometric and physical tests variables than Italian players (p<0.001). Administrators of professional football teams in Italy need to improve players’ physical attributes so the gap that currently exists between Italy and USA can be reduced.

title: Transnational students’ accounts of processes of networked learning

description: Globalisation of higher education has led to an increase in the delivery
      of transnational programmes, those where students are located in a
      different country than the providing institution. These programmes are
      marketed as offering the same degree at the same quality standards as that
      delivered onshore and often the specific context or place of learning is
      not considered. Literature on the student experience of learning in this
      setting is sparse. This study addresses this gap by exploring accounts of
      students’ processes of networked learning on two transnational Masters
      programmes delivered by an Irish college in the Gulf region of the Middle
      East. Processes of learning are theorised using two frameworks: the
      approaches to learning framework; and the model of networked learning.
      Data is generated through interviews with 18 students. Findings show two
      key qualitative differences in the phenomenographical outcome spaces.
      Firstly, between descriptions focused on academic skills (searching
      literature, reading, writing) and those focused on ideas (analysing,
      synthesising, critiquing). Secondly, between descriptions of engagement in
      the act of networked learning and descriptions of non-engagement,
      classified as either ‘unable to engage’ or ‘unwilling to engage’. The
      categories of description at the lower levels of complexity in all outcome
      spaces are not explained well using either theoretical framework. These
      findings have a deeper alternative explanation when both the transnational
      and the individual’s contexts are taken into consideration. Conclusions
      are drawn for theory, methodology, policy and practice. For theory, an
      amended definition of networked learning is suggested which allows for the
      multiple contexts within which learning takes place. For methodology, it
      is suggested non-inclusive hierarchical structures in outcome spaces are
      appropriate for phenomenographical studies of the processes of learning.
      Finally, the notion that transnational programmes can be delivered
      ‘context-free’ is challenged which has implications for institutional
      policy and educational practice within higher education.

description: This thesis provides a contribution to knowledge by demonstrating that
      deliberative theories of democracy have failed to take sufficient account
      of social difference and by arguing for a more complex and relational
      understanding of social identity to be considered in democratic theory. I
      argue that deliberative theories of democracy should not consider
      deliberators only as socially embedded actors but should consider social
      groups and social identity as a ground for political participation. I show
      how some of the main deliberative theories to date have failed to commit
      to a sufficient understanding of social identity, before demonstrating how
      identity should be conceived for the purposes of deliberative models. I
      further argue that, in view of the importance of social identity in
      political participation, we should understand our civic and political
      spheres as porous, rather than as distinct. Identity is not something we
      can ignore in political life, and attempts to minimise its workings are
      more likely to result in problems, than promote greater political harmony.
      I will demonstrate throughout the course of this thesis that attempts to
      efface, minimise or overcome identity in deliberative theory leads to that
      theory being unable to recognise some of the important workings of social
      identity in democracy.

description: The learning of Anatomy is based traditionally on books, 2D atlases, anatomical physical models and – if accessible – cadaver dissections (1). Emerging tools, like multimedia contents, 3D virtual models or the new head-mounted displays (e.g. Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear VR), which allows to dive into virtual reality environments, are rarely taken into account even if they are nowadays available at affordable prices (2). In order to assess students’ point of view on these latest technologies, we prepared an anonymous questionnaire of 9 questions based on a five-point Likert scale. The questionnaire was randomly proposed to 61 students, enrolled in the preclinical years and who had completed the course of Anatomy. The students were asked to evaluate the usefulness of different tools in preparing the exam of Anatomy and to indicate which didactic tools should be available for the study of Anatomy. They also evaluated the importance given to morphology, relations and variations of organs during the exam study. The results showed that most students found very useful (answer point: 4 or 5) multimedia sources (61%) and 3D virtual models (66%). According to students, the most important tools at disposal for learning Anatomy should be 3D virtual models (26%) and 3D models in immersive virtual reality (25%) rather than physical models (21%) or other tools. Moreover, students stated they focused on morphology (74%) and relations between organs (92%) much more than anatomical variations (17%), although patient-specific anatomy would be essential in clinical practice (3). Therefore, the results can be useful to steer didactic activities and underline the importance of considering new technologies like 3D virtual models as effective tools to improve the learning of Anatomy and to focus on inter-individual variants from the very beginning.

description: After analyzing the obtained during the investigation, the information we can talk about the existence of several major periods in the development of electron microscopy of the XX century in Russia. The first period is descriptive, on the basis of works on the history of certain biological sciences, cytology, histology, as well as the basic approach to the presentation of their main methods [E.M. Vermel, 1970; R.F. Kapustin, A.A. Gorbach, 2014], which states that no matter how improved the microscope, he would not allow to penetrate the secrets of cell morphology, if not at the same time to improve the technique of material processing, machinery manufacturing “microscopic sample» [Z.S. Katsnelson, 1963]. Destinations many studies have allowed through the use of modern methods of microscopy to link all stages of development of an organism with certain cell structures [L.Y. Blyakher, 1968]. The next period is associated with the development of technologies in the improvement and dissemination of electron microscopy. There has been a real surge of new directions in mikropostroenii are absorbed microscopes that meet all modern technical requirements [B.K. Ioannisiani, 1960; M.P. Panfilov, 1970]. Out of electron microscopy in the sphere of large-scale production and export to the world markets, identified the third stage of development of electron microscopy. Methodological analysis of the results allows us to determine the following main tendencies of development: use of nanoelectronics, the ability to explore the structure of organisms; in the formation of a new technological order play an important role public investment in microscopy, which form the basis of the spread of this method in the world and Russian economy [S.Yu. Glazyev, 2009]; scientific justification for ways to optimize physical resources and production processes, which are of a purely applied character, its practical importance can be manifested in the following forms: nanoelectronics, nanomaterials, nanobiotechnology and nanoequipment [S.Yu. Glazyev, 2010]. Thus, such a timely practical development can provide investment and the leading position of this sector in the crest of the wave of a new economic order.

description: In recent years, body expressions have been demonstrated to be effective
      visual cues for conveying emotional information. We usually perceive
      others' emotions from multiple modal sources in our daily lives, such
      as via the face, sounds and touch. As such, it is an important issue that
      we seek to understand how we perceive emotional cues as a coherent percept
      rather than separate percepts. With behavioral measurements, previous
      studies have provided evidence that a combination of multiple emotional
      cues can assist in making a more accurate and rapid discrimination of
      emotional contents. However, little to no research has focused on the
      integration of emotion perception from body expressions combined with
      other modal information, especially during development. As a consequence,
      the aim of this thesis was to investigate developmental changes in neural
      activity underlying the integration of emotion perception via body
      expressions and the voice. In Chapter 1, literature on multisensory
      processing in infants and children was reviewed, and the objectives of the
      thesis were described. In Chapter 2, processing for unisensory (sounds or
      body expressions) compared to audiovisual conditions (body expressions
      with sounds) was measured in adults. In Chapter 3, influences of types of
      body presentations (dynamic/static) with emotions were examined in an
      audiovisual paradigm with adults. In Chapter 4, 6.5-month-old infants
      processed emotional information in a paradigm derived from Chapter 3. In
      Chapter 5, audiovisual emotion perception was examined in 5-6 year-old
      children. These studies showed separate processing for interactions
      between visual and auditory perceptual sources, and for the assessment of
      combined emotional content across the three ages groups. This series of
      studies also revealed maturational changes in neural correlates to
      audiovisual emotion processing in ERP components indexing perception and
      cognition. A final chapter explores the implications of the findings for
      understanding the audiovisual emotion processing from a developmental
      perspective

description: Several studies demonstrated that melatonin treatment prevents tissue damage in various models of oxidative stress (1). Experiments have shown that chronic nicotine administration caused oxidant damage in various organs by increasing lipid peroxidation products and decreasing the activity of endogenous antioxidants (2). The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of melatonin treatment on nicotine-induced oxidative changes in rat kidney and to explore the possible mechanisms of action. Three groups of rats were used as controls (the first without treatment, the second with melatonin alone and the third with nicotine alone). The last group of rats was orally treated with nicotine and melatonin for 28 days. Morphological changes in kidney were evaluated by histological procedures and immunohistochemical analysis using inflammation (NFkB and IL-6) and oxidative stress (SOD, CAT and iNOS) markers. Experiments performed demonstrated that nicotine administration increases inflammation and oxidative stress. Melatonin has a protective effect against nicotine kidney toxicity through an inhibition of inflammation and consequent oxidative damage. These data suggest that melatonin supplementation effectively counteracts the deleterious effect of chronic nicotine administration on kidney and attenuates oxidative damage possibly by its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.This work was supported by grants from University of Brescia (EX 60%).

Year: 2008

description: Neben der Untersuchung der Arbeiterselbstverwaltung Jugoslawiens unter der Führung Titos, beschäftigt sich diese Diplomarbeit besonders mit dem Transformationsprozess Kroatiens in den 1990er-Jahren. Ausgehend von einem planwirtschaftlichen Modell, wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie das mangelhafte Wirtschaftsystem zur Zeit des Selbstverwaltungssozialismus die Ausgangslage der kroatischen Transformation erschwerte und die Umsetzung marktwirtschaftlicher Elemente behinderte. Dabei wird ersichtlich, dass die Integration gerade dieser Elemente im jugoslawischen Wirtschaftssystem, aufgrund von zahlreichen Interessenskonflikten, den Zerfallsprozess Jugoslawiens begünstigte. Den Nachfolgestaaten wurde in weiterer Folge ein schweres Erbe hinterlassen. In den 90er-Jahren begann in Kroatien der Aufbau einer demokratischen und wirtschaftlichen Ordnung nach westlichem Vorbild. Es ist dabei zu untersuchen, welche Problemfelder diesen Prozess begleiteten, warum die für die kroatische Wirtschaft so wichtige Transformation in den 90er-Jahren nur sehr schleppend umgesetzt werden konnte und welche Treiber dahinter stecken. Die Analyse der kroatischen Transformation ist insofern von Bedeutung, da sie in den 90er-Jahren aufgrund zahlreicher Studien zum Zerfallskrieg Jugoslawiens weitgehend vernachlässigt wurde und somit eine Forschungslücke offenbarte.

description: The anatomical structure of the human body is a highly complex system for the large amount of components and the relationships and interactions between these. Today there are tools that allow us to deal with this complexity and the network is certainly one of the most used. The use of the network model for the analysis of complex systems has already been used in the nineteenth century by Etienne Geoffrey Saint Hilaire as part of the morphological biology. Recently they have been reconsidered because of the possibilities of analysis and interpretation of mathematics that they offer still nowadays (1,2). The anatomical network presented here consists of 2294 anatomical parts interconnected by 7196 links between bones, muscles, fasciae, joint capsule, ligaments and tendons. Hence, all this structures refers to the biomechanical structure of the locomotor system. The topological analysis of the network allows us to develop new applications in the context of the study and the anatomical evaluation of the locomotor system related to reachability, connectivity and brokerage of the various body parts.

description: Deep neural networks (DNNs) have numerous applications across various domains. Several optimization techniques, such as ResNet and SENet, have been proposed to improve model accuracy. These techniques improve the model performance by adjusting or calibrating feature responses according to a uniform standard. However, they lack the discriminative calibration for different features, thereby introducing limitations in the model output. Therefore, we propose a method that discriminatively calibrates feature responses. The preliminary experimental results indicate that the neural feature response follows a Gaussian distribution. Consequently, we compute confidence values by employing the Gaussian probability density function, and then integrate these values with the original response values. The objective of this integration is to improve the feature discriminability of the neural feature response. Based on the calibration values, we propose a plugin-based calibration module incorporated into a modified ResNet architecture, termed Response Calibration Networks (ResCNet). Extensive experiments on datasets like CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, SVHN, and ImageNet demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The developed code is publicly available at https://github.com/tcmyxc/ResCNet.

description: The rise of AI and the Internet of Things is accelerating the digital transformation of society. Mobility computing presents specific barriers due to its real-time requirements, decentralization, and connectivity through wireless networks. New research on edge computing and tiny machine learning (tinyML) explores the execution of AI models on low-performance devices to address these issues. However, there are not many studies proposing agnostic architectures that manage the entire lifecycle of intelligent cyberphysical systems. This article extends a previous architecture based on FIWARE software components to implement the machine learning operations flow, enabling the management of the entire tinyML lifecycle in cyberphysical systems. We also provide a use case to showcase how to implement the FIWARE architecture through a complete example of a smart traffic system. We conclude that the FIWARE ecosystem constitutes a real reference option for developing tinyML and edge computing in cyberphysical systems.

description: Neural-ODE parameterize a differential equation using continuous depth neural network and solve it using numerical ODE-integrator. These models offer a constant memory cost compared to models with discrete sequence of hidden layers in which memory cost increases linearly with the number of layers. In addition to memory efficiency, other benefits of neural-ode include adaptability of evaluation approach to input, and flexibility to choose numerical precision or fast training. However, despite having all these benefits, it still has some limitations. We identify the ODE-integrator (also called ODE-solver) as the weakest link in the chain as it may have stability, consistency and convergence (CCS) issues and may suffer from slower convergence or may not converge at all. We propose a first-order Nesterov's accelerated gradient (NAG) based ODE-solver which is proven to be tuned vis-a-vis CCS conditions. We empirically demonstrate the efficacy of our approach by training faster, while achieving better or comparable performance against neural-ode employing other fixed-step explicit ODE-solvers as well discrete depth models such as ResNet in three different tasks including supervised classification, density estimation, and time-series modelling.

Creators: name: Steinwender, Daniela Monika
Year: 2008

description: Diese Diplomarbeit befasst sich mit dem häufig genannten aber schlecht definierten Thema der Ergebnisqualität und gibt einen Überblick darüber. Zuerst wird der Begriff definiert, die Verwendung von Ergebnissen im Vergleich zu Pro-Forma-Ergebnissen, Residualeinkommen und Cashflows wird erklärt und die verschiedenen Sichten darüber sowie beeinflussenden Faktoren werden beschrieben. Im Hauptteil werden acht Ergebniseigenschaften – Beständigkeit, Prognosefähigkeit, Volatilität & Glättung, Qualität der Periodenabgrenzungen, Bilanzpolitik, Zeitnähe, Vorsicht und Wertrelevanz –, deren Messung und internationale Unterschiede behandelt. Anschließend werden diese Eigenschaften im Rahmen der Annahmen von Sicherheit und perfekten Märkten anhand von Cashflow-Beispielen analysiert und weitere kritische Punkte dieser Ergebnischarakteristika aufgezeigt. Die Bespiele zeigen, dass auch in einem sehr einfachen Szenario die Ergebniseigenschaften bereits zu kontroversen Resultaten führen. Schließlich werden die Möglichkeiten und Versuche diskutiert Ergebnisqualität aggregiert in zwei Formen – auf Basis der Theorie und der Praxis - zu messen. Eine Zusammenfassung mit Fazit beendet die Arbeit.
description: This thesis deals with the often quoted but ill-defined topic of earnings quality and gives an overview of the topic. At first the term is defined, the usage of earnings in contrast to pro-forma-earnings, residual income, and cash flows is explained, and the different perspectives and influential factors on it are described. The main part consists of the description of eight earnings attributes – persistence, predictability, volatility & smoothness, quality of accruals, earnings management, timeliness, conservatism, and value relevance –, the way they are being measured, and their international differences. Subsequently, these attributes are analyzed in a setting of certainty and perfect markets through cash flow examples and some further critical points are considered for these characteristics of earnings. The examples show that even in a very basic setting earnings attributes already tend to be controversial. Thereafter, the possibilities and attempts to measure aggregated earnings quality in two ways – theory- and practice-based – are discussed. A summary and conclusion form the end of this paper.

description: Human trade has been recognized as an important variable on new territory invasion success. Trade inside and through Asia and North America developed over the centuries has made possible the exchange of social insects, as has been demonstrated for the ant \textit{Solenopsis geminata}. We make a detailed review of the termite species shared between American countries; contemporary Mexico and USA, and Asian countries (Philippines, China, and Japan) generating actualized termite species lists. Our results reveal ten shared species being six of American origin and mostly one piece nesters. Meanwhile the remaining Asian species all belong to the genus \textit{ Coptotermes} being, \textit{C. formosanus}, \textit{C. gestroi} and \textit{ C. vastator} and possibly \textit{C. domesticus} . Being one piece nesters for the American species appear as an important biological trait to survive the travel  and stablish successful populations across the Pacific Ocean to Asia, meanwhile being a \textit{Coptotermes} species contributed on the way to America. Future genetic research will clarify the timing of the possible several independent introductions. Certainly more species will be found as termite identification keys are developed for the North American Region. Financed by the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH).

On quantum models for opinion and voting intention polls

description: In this contribution, we construct a connection between two quantum voting models presented previously. We propose to try to determine the result of a vote from associated given opinion polls. We introduce a density operator relative to the family of all candidates to a particular election. From an hypothesis of proportionality between a family of coefficients which characterize the density matrix and the probabilities of vote for all the candidates, we propose a numerical method for the entire determination of the density operator. This approach is a direct consequence of the Perron-Frobenius theorem for irreductible positive matrices. We applyour algorithm to synthetic data and to operational results issued from the French presidential election of April 2012.

description: The Laboratory of Mechanics and Acoustics in Marseilles (France) was created in 1941, under the name of Centre de Recherches Scientifiques, Industrielles et Maritimes (CRSIM). But it was actually issued from the French Naval Research Center created in Toulon by the French Navy to work on submarine detection during World War I. LMA is therefore the result of a long and quite amazing story with several moves and even more name changes. It benefited from all these events and is today established in a new campus with large facilities specially designed for its latest research activities. This article presents the story in some details, summarize the evolution of the research domains through all these years and finally gives a description of the LMA today.
