ADAPTATION OF THE EDINBURGH POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION SCALE FOR VIETNAMESE AMERICANS
Creators: name: Pham, Thu Anh
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: The purpose of this project was to translate and adapt an existing postpartum depression tool, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), into Vietnamese for use with Vietnamese Americans. This project required a two-stage approach. The first stage focused on the translation process, which emphasized cultural sensitivity and linguistic appropriateness while retaining the sensitivity of the instrument. The second stage involved a pilot study to test the validity and applicability of the translated instrument. A total of 34 women returning for a 6-week postpartum checkup at two community clinics were recruited and completed two questionnaires. Data collected via the Vietnamese EPDS was compared with the Vietnamese Depression Scale (VDS), a validated depression instrument for the Vietnamese population. A correlation coefficient, r = .935, indicated that the two measures (VEPDS and VDS) were highly correlated. A cut-off score of 9/10 on the VEPDS was used as the benchmark for suspected postpartum depression. The prevalence of postpartum depression among Vietnamese American women in this project was 29%. Factors that significantly affected the Vietnamese EPDS score were employment status, marriage status, and living arrangement (among married, t = -2.774, p = .011; among singles, t = -2.799, p = .010), education level (t = 2.919, p = .001), unemployment (t = 4.52, p = .000), and complication of pregnancy (t = 2.165, p = .015). The results indicated that the VEPDS was applicable and beneficial to use for screening for postpartum depression among Vietnamese American women.

description: Bats have been increasingly gaining attention as potential reservoir hosts of some of the most virulent viruses known. Numerous review articles summarize bats as potential reservoir hosts of human-pathogenic zoonotic viruses. For European bats, just one review article is available that we published in 2014. The present review provides an update on the earlier article and summarizes the most important viruses found in European bats and their possible implications for Public Health. We identify the research gaps and recommend monitoring of these viruses.

description: Language models have been increasingly popular for automatic creativity assessment, generating semantic distances to objectively measure the quality of creative ideas. However, there is currently a lack of an automatic assessment system for evaluating creative ideas in the Chinese language. To address this gap, we developed TransDis, a scoring system using transformer-based language models, capable of providing valid originality (quality) and flexibility (variety) scores for Alternative Uses Task (AUT) responses in Chinese. Study 1 demonstrated that the latent model-rated originality factor, comprised of three transformer-based models, strongly predicted human originality ratings, and the model-rated flexibility strongly correlated with human flexibility ratings as well. Criterion validity analyses indicated that model-rated originality and flexibility positively correlated to other creativity measures, demonstrating similar validity to human ratings. Study 2 & 3 showed that TransDis effectively distinguished participants instructed to provide creative vs. common uses (Study 2) and participants instructed to generate ideas in a flexible vs. persistent way (Study 3). Our findings suggest that TransDis can be a reliable and low-cost tool for measuring idea originality and flexibility in Chinese language, potentially paving the way for automatic creativity assessment in other languages. We offer an open platform to compute originality and flexibility for AUT responses in Chinese and over 50 other languages (https://osf.io/59jv2/).

description: La tematica affrontata in questa tesi mira a chiarire alcuni aspetti che influenzano la funzionalità del corpo luteo e il successo dell’inseminazione strumentale nella specie bufalina. Pertanto sono state  programmate prove sperimentali utili a comprendere l’influenza della stagionalità riproduttiva sull’attività del corpo luteo, sull’instaurarsi e sul mantenimento della gestazione. Ciò è risultato utile per verificare alcune delle cause che hanno influenzato la perdita embrionale e mettere a punto protocolli farmacologici utili a migliorare la fertilità nella specie bufalina.
Il piano sperimentale ha, pertanto, previsto differenti fasi e, precisamente:
a)Vascolarizzazione del follicolo e del corpo luteo e mortalità embrionale tardiva nella specie bufalina (esperimento 1).
b)Influenza della stagione sulla funzionalità del corpo luteo e riflessi sull’efficienza dell’inseminazione strumentale nella specie bufalina (esperimento 2).
c)Effetto del trattamento tardivo con GnRH, hCG e progesterone sulla fertilità della bufala (esperimento 3).

description: It is well accepted that the solar cycle originates from a magnetohydrodynamics dynamo deep inside the Sun. Many dynamo models have long been proposed based on a lot of observational constraints. In this paper, using 342 NSO/Kitt Peak solar synoptic charts we study the solar cycle phases in different solar latitudinal zones to set further constraints. Our results can be summarized as follows. (1) The variability of solar polar regions' area has a correlation with total unsigned magnetic flux in advance of 5 years. (2) The high-latitude region mainly appears unipolar in the whole solar cycle and its flux peak time lags sunspot cycle for 3 years. (3) For the activity belt, it is not surprised that its phase be the same as sunspot's. (4) The flux peak time of the low-latitude region shifts forward with an average gradient of 32.2 $day/deg$. These typical characteristics may provide some hints for constructing an actual solar dynamo.

description: La proteina aldolasi C è l’isoforma dell’enzima aldolasi espressa in aree ristrette del sistema nervoso centrale dei mammiferi adulti. A causa della sua peculiare espressione a bande è stato ipotizzato che questa proteina possa avere alcune funzioni nascoste oltre a quelle legate ai processi glicolitici. Per comprendere queste funzioni abbiamo confermato alcune delle interazione condotte dalla proteina aldolasi C, individuate da studi in vivo effettuati mediante la tecnica del two-hybrid assay in lievito, e dalle successive analisi in silico. Abbiamo confermato, mediante esperimenti di GST-pull-down e co-immunoprecipitazione le interazioni tra la proteina aldolasi C e le proteine NPDC1 e ciclina A. Le due proteine sono entrambe coinvolte nel differenziamento neuronale. Abbiamo dunque ipotizzato che la proteina aldolasi C possa avere un ruolo nel differenziamento neuronale. Per confermare questa ipotesi abbiamo effettuato alcuni esperimenti utilizzando come modello di differenziamento la linea cellulare di feocromocitoma di ratto PC12, indotta al differenziamento neuronale con NGF. Abbiamo monitorato i livelli di espressione delle proteine aldolasi C, ciclina A e fosfo-ERK 1 e 2 mediante western blot in cellule indotte al differenzimento. Abbiamo notato che l’espressione delle proteine aldolasi C e fosfo-ERK 1 e 2 aumenta, mentre l’espressione della proteina ciclina A si riduce. Abbiamo poi correlato gli effetti sull’espressione di fosfo-ERK e ciclina A con l’aumento di aldolasi C inducendo l’over-espressione della proteina aldolasi C e monitorando i livelli delle proteine fosfo-ERK 1 e 2 e ciclina A. Abbiamo inoltre verificato mediante immunofluorescenza la compartimentalizzazione cellulare delle proteine aldolasi C e ciclina A.

The article examines the history and the characteristics of free tax zones (ZFU) in Italian cities in application of French model. The goal of French free tax zones, used to regenerate some poor and socially emarginated districts of town, has changed in Italian experiences. The study focuses on the cases of Sicily where tens of areas have been identified, deepening the study of Palermo and Catania towns, with the analysis of demographic data and, through field research, of the activities undertaken by the beneficiaries in relation to the role that they can play in the district, and showing as the free tax zones are become a tool to intervene in occasion of natural disaster and industrial conversion. Despite the ZFU in Italy are at the initial stage, some results of the application of ZFU may be useful to formulate considerations in order to change the business aids in order to get the real objectives of urban development.

In part one we review the definition of a Cardy algebra, which captures the necessary consistency conditions of the theory at genus 0 and 1. We investigate the properties of these algebras and prove uniqueness and existence theorems. One implication is that under certain natural assumptions, every rational closed CFT is extendable to an open-closed CFT. The relation of Cardy algebras to the solutions of the sewing constraints is the topic of part two.

description: Utopia i edukacja to oryginalny głos filozofii i teorii edukacji, który wkracza również na pola innych niż pedagogika dyscyplin i korzysta z ich ujęć oraz dorobku. Praca lokuje się w nurcie utopian studies i uzupełnia ich dyskurs o słabiej w nim zaznaczony trop filozofii i teorii edukacji, ponadto podejmuje w kontekście pedagogiki i edukacji szereg zagadnień, których znaczenie wykracza poza umowne ramy jednej dyscypliny: utopii, ideologii, krytyki społecznej, fundamentalizmu, demokracji, populizmu, przekładu, transdyscyplinarności i transferu wiedzy, socjalizacji, szkoły jako jednej z instytucji społecznych itd. Praca nie tylko rekonstruuje wiedzę o określonych zjawiskach, mających znaczenie dla edukacji i pedagogiki, proponuje również, co dobrze oddaje podział książki na dwie części, oryginalne rozwiązanie problematyki edukacyjnej w postaci koncepcji pedagogiki azylu. W książce obok badaczy kojarzonych z utopian studies wyróżniają się odniesienia do takich postaci humanistyki i nauk społecznych, jak Emmanuel Levinas i Erich Fromm, których koncepcjom Autor poświęcił dwie wcześniejsze swoje monografie, a także Bronisław Baczko, George Steiner, Jacques Derrida, Michael Walzer, Hannah Arendt, Janusz Korczak, Ilan Gur- Ze’ev. Autor w całości pracy próbuje łączyć perspektywy pedagogiki krytycznej i dialogu, wykorzystuje inspiracje osiągnięciami Warszawskiej szkoły historyków idei, sięga do myśli i tradycji żydowskiej.

description: We report on the first pulsar and transient survey of the Galactic Center (GC) with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The observations were conducted during the Global Millimeter VLBI Array campaign in 2017 and 2018. We carry out searches using timeseries of both total intensity and other polarization components in the form of Stokes parameters. We incorporate acceleration and its derivative in the pulsar search, and also search in segments of the entire observation to compensate for potential orbital motion of the pulsar. While no new pulsar is found, our observations yield the polarization profile of the GC magnetar PSR J1745-2900 at mm-wavelength for the first time, which turns out to be nearly 100 % linearly polarized. Additionally, we estimate the survey sensitivity placed by both system and red noise, and evaluate its capability of finding pulsars in orbital motion with either Sgr A* or a binary companion. We show that the survey is sensitive to only the most luminous pulsars in the known population, and future observations with ALMA in Band-1 will deliver significantly deeper survey sensitivity on the GC pulsar population.

description: Recent advances in generative pre-trained transformer large language models have emphasised the potential risks of unfair use of artificial intelligence (AI) generated content in an academic environment and intensified efforts in searching for solutions to detect such content. The paper examines the general functionality of detection tools for artificial intelligence generated text and evaluates them based on accuracy and error type analysis. Specifically, the study seeks to answer research questions about whether existing detection tools can reliably differentiate between human-written text and ChatGPT-generated text, and whether machine translation and content obfuscation techniques affect the detection of AI-generated text. The research covers 12 publicly available tools and two commercial systems (Turnitin and PlagiarismCheck) that are widely used in the academic setting. The researchers conclude that the available detection tools are neither accurate nor reliable and have a main bias towards classifying the output as human-written rather than detecting AI-generated text. Furthermore, content obfuscation techniques significantly worsen the performance of tools. The study makes several significant contributions. First, it summarises up-to-date similar scientific and non-scientific efforts in the field. Second, it presents the result of one of the most comprehensive tests conducted so far, based on a rigorous research methodology, an original document set, and a broad coverage of tools. Third, it discusses the implications and drawbacks of using detection tools for AI-generated text in academic settings.

Regulation of hepatic lipogenesis by the transcription complex Prep1-Pbx1
Creators: name: Cabaro, Serena
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2011

description: Prep1 is an homeodomain transcription factor belonging to the TALE proteins, including also Pbx1, which plays an essential role in hematopoiesis, organogenesis and development. Prep1 forms transcriptionally active complexes with Pbx1 and regulates the activity of several genes. The Prep1 null mutation leads to embryonic death at a very early stage. Therefore, Prep1 hypomorphic (Prep1i/i) mice have been generated. Prep1 heterozygous (Prep1i/+) mice, which express only 55-57% of protein, have a complex metabolic phenotype with at least two relevant features. One is the presence of smaller but otherwise normally structured islets with reduced fasting and post-loading plasma insulin levels. The second is increased insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle and in liver which is accompanied by protection from streptozotocin-induced diabetes. In muscle, decreased Prep1 levels are followed by an increase of the PGC1alpha/Glut4-mediated glucose uptake. In liver,  better insulin sensitivity is due to a reduced SHP1 tyrosine phosphatase expression followed by an increase of insulin signaling. Also, triglyceride levels are significantly reduced in the liver of Prep1i/+ mice. However, the molecular mechanism by which Prep1 controls lipogenesis is unclear. In this study, we have focused our attention on the role of Prep1 on the regulation of the triglyceride synthesis.
To study the lipogenesis in the liver of the Prep1 heterozygous mice, we have examined the expression of the lipogenetic enzyme FAS (Fatty Acid Synthase) by real-time RT-PCR analysis. Hepatic expression of FAS is significantly decreased. Western Blot analysis have shown increased phosphorylation of PKCzeta, LKB1, AMPK and ACC, which may control FAS expression and triglycerides production in Prep1i/+ mice liver. Protein and mRNA levels of the lipid phosphatase SHIP2, an inhibitor of PI3Kinase/PKCzeta signaling, are reduced by 40% in the liver of Prep1i/+ mice. Consistent with these data, HepG2 (Human Hepatocarcinoma cell line) cells overexpressing Prep1 display increased triglyceride levels and FAS expression, while PKCzeta, LKB1, AMPK and ACC phosphorylation is strongly reduced. Moreover, SHIP2 levels are increased by 50%. Interestingly, overexpression of Pbx1 cDNA in HepG2 cells mimicked Prep1-induced triglyceride synthesis. At the opposite, Prep1HR1 mutant, which is unable to bind Pbx1,  fails to elicit these effects. ChIP and Re-ChIP experiments indicate that Prep1/Pbx1 complex can bind SHIP2 promoter region and regulate its expression.
These data suggest that Prep1/Pbx1 dimer regulates hepatic triglycerides production by increasing SHIP2 levels and thereby inhibiting the PKCzeta/AMPK signaling.

description: Genus Hymenogadus Gilbert and Hubbs, 1920
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES.— Snout low, relatively pointed and protruding; paired nasal bones in broad contact along median line, without gap around nostril cartilage; head about as broad as high; body and head somewhat cylindrical; head mucous canals moderately developed; head covering mostly transparent; light organ long, small lens on chest anterior to pelvic-fin bases connected by a black streak to round posterior lens immediately before anus; ventral striae well developed; fine black lines on gular membrane oriented perpendicular to median line, not netlike; inner GR-I, lower limb 10–16; spinous ray of 1D weakly serrated; chin barbel present.
REMARKS.— Aside from the low, cylindrical body and head, pointed snout, fewer gill rakers, and the presence of serrations along the leading edge of the first dorsal fin, this genus is otherwise scarcely distinguishable from Hymenocephalus, in which it was originally included as a subgenus. Aside from the widely distributed H. gracilis, the genus contains only H. tenuis, which is known only from the single original record off Hawaii.

description: The self-accelerating braneworld model (DGP) seems to provide a simple alternative to the the standard $Λ$CDM cosmology to explain the current cosmic acceleration, which is strongly indicated by measurements of Type Ia supernovae, as well as other concordant observations. In this work, we investigate observational constraints on this scenario from gravitational lensing statistics using the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey (CLASS) lensing sample. We show that a large parameter space of the DGP model is in good agreement with this radio source gravitational lensing sample. In the flat case, $Ω_\mathrm{K}=0$, the likelihood is maximized, ${\cal L}={\cal L_\mathrm{max}}$, for $\1 = 0.30_{-0.11}^{+0.19}$. If we relax the prior on $Ω_\mathrm{K}$, the likelihood peaks at $\{\1,\2 \} \simeq \{0.29, 0.12\}$, just slightly in the region of open models. However the confidence contours are pretty elongated so that we can not discard either close or flat or open models

description: Motivated by the search for chiral spin liquids (CSL), we consider a simple model defined on the kagome lattice of interacting SU(3) spins (in the fundamental representation) including two-site and three-site permutations between nearest neighbor sites and on triangles, respectively. By combining analytical developments and various numerical techniques, namely exact Lanczos diagonalizations and tensor network variational approaches, we find a rich phase diagram with non-topological (``trivial") and topological (possibly chiral) gapped spin liquids (SLs). Trivial spin liquids include an Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki (AKLT)-like phase and a trimerized phase, the latter breaking the inversion center between the up and down triangles of the kagome lattice. A topological SL is stabilized in a restricted part of the phase diagram by the time-reversal symmetry breaking (complex) 3-site permutation term. Analyzing the chiral edge modes of this topological SL on long cylinders or on finite disks, we have come up with two competing scenarios, either a CSL or a double Chern-Simon SL characterized by a single or by two counter-propagating Wess-Zumino-Witten SU(3)$_1$ chiral mode(s), respectively. In the vicinity of the extended ferromagnetic region we have found a magnetic phase corresponding either to a modulated canted ferromagnet or to a uniform partially magnetized ferromagnet.

Domesticating the archive: the case of family photography
Creators: name: Rose, Gillian
Publisher: name: Semestrale di studi e ricerche di geografia
Year: 2017

description: The paper begins by examining a body of work on photographic archives, which depends on accounts of large, insitutional archives to
make claims about the kind of space a photographic archive is. This
work claims that a photographic archive, in its apparatus and technologies, is a cellular matrix that abstracts meaning from the photographs it catalogues.
This argument is often based on historical studies of ineteenthcentury
archives. It has however been criticised for not paying enough attention to the diversity of photographic practices in that same historical period; and in particular, for neglecting the distinctive photographs and photograph albums being created in upper-class homes at the same time, often by women as a means, among other things, of articulating their subject positions and relations. This paper examines the contemporary domestic archive of family photographs also as a means of performing subject relations. It asks what kind of space it constitutes, as its distinct technologies and apparatii are put to work in the social practice that is family photography. It argues
that the family photography archive is neither cellular nor abstract, but rather an extended and dispersed network of intensely particular images.

L'article commence par examiner un ensemble de travaux sur les archives photographiques, qui dépend de rapports de grandes archives institutionnelles, pour affirmer la nature de l’espace représenté par les archives photographiques. Ce travail prétend que les archives photographiques, du fait des appareils et des technologies servant à les créer, sont des matrices cellulaires qui retirent la signification des photographies qu’elles cataloguent. Cet argument se fonde souvent sur les études historiques d’archives datant du XIXe siècle. Il a été toutefois critiqué pour le manque d’attention accordé à la diversité des pratiques photographiques
dans cette même période et en particulier, pour avoir négligé les photographies et les albums de photographies créés dans les demeures de la haute société de l’époque, souvent par des femmes cherchant, entre autres, à exprimer clairement la position de leurs sujets et la relation entre eux. Cet article examine les archives domestiques contemporaines de photos de famille, en tant que moyen d’établir la relation entre les sujets. Il pose la question de savoir quel espace constituent ces archives, alors que des appareils et des technologies distincts sont employés dans la pratique sociale
qu’est la photographie de famille. Il soutient que les archives de photos de famille ne sont ni des éléments cellulaires ni des extraits, mais qu’elles constituent plutôt un réseau étendu et dispersé d’images intensément personnelles.

description: Efficient preparation of spin-squeezed states is important for quantum-enhanced metrology. Current protocols for generating strong spin squeezing rely on either high dimensionality or long-range interactions. A key challenge is how to generate considerable spin squeezing in one-dimensional systems with only nearest-neighbor interactions. Here, we develop variational spin-squeezing algorithms to solve this problem. We consider both digital and analog quantum circuits for these variational algorithms. After the closed optimization loop of the variational spin-squeezing algorithms, the generated squeezing can be comparable to the strongest squeezing created from two-axis twisting. By analyzing the experimental imperfections, the variational spin-squeezing algorithms proposed in this work are feasible in recent developed noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers.

description: We investigate the degree of the polar transformations associated to a certain class of multi-valued homogeneous functions. In particular we prove that the degree of the pre-image of generic linear spaces by a polar transformation associated to a homogeneous polynomial $F$ is determined by the zero locus of $F$. For zero dimensional-dimensional linear spaces this was conjecture by Dolgachev and proved by Dimca-Papadima using topological arguments. Our methods are algebro-geometric and rely on the study of the Gauss map of naturally associated logarithmic foliations.

GestureMap further integrates three computational capabilities to connect exploration to quantitative measures: Leveraging DTW Barycenter Averaging (DBA), we compute average gestures to 1) represent gesture groups at a glance; 2) compute a new consensus measure (variance around average gesture); and 3) cluster gestures with k-means. We evaluate GestureMap and its concepts with eight experts and an in-depth analysis of published data. Our findings show how GestureMap facilitates exploring large datasets and helps researchers to gain a visual understanding of elicited gesture spaces. It further opens new directions, such as comparing elicitations across studies. We discuss implications for elicitation studies and research, and opportunities to extend our approach to additional tasks in gesture elicitation.

description: In Drosophila, 50 classes of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) connect to 50 class-specific and uniquely positioned glomeruli in the antennal lobe. Despite the identification of cell surface receptors regulating axon guidance, how ORN axons sort to form 50 stereotypical glomeruli remains unclear. Here we show that the heterophilic cell adhesion proteins, DIPs and Dprs, are expressed in ORNs during glomerular formation. Many ORN classes express a unique combination of DIPs/dprs, with neurons of the same class expressing interacting partners, suggesting a role in class-specific self-adhesion between ORN axons. Analysis of DIP/Dpr expression revealed that ORNs that target neighboring glomeruli have different combinations, and ORNs with very similar DIP/Dpr combinations can project to distant glomeruli in the antennal lobe. DIP/Dpr profiles are dynamic during development and correlate with sensilla type lineage for some ORN classes. Perturbations of DIP/dpr gene function result in local projection defects of ORN axons and glomerular positioning, without altering correct matching of ORNs with their target neurons. Our results suggest that context-dependent differential adhesion through DIP/Dpr combinations regulate self-adhesion and sort ORN axons into uniquely positioned glomeruli.

description: Recently, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) has been used to highlight an anomalously large band renormalization at high binding energies in cuprate superconductors: the high energy 'waterfall' or high energy anomaly (HEA). This paper demonstrates, using a combination of new ARPES measurements and quantum Monte Carlo simulations, that the HEA is not simply the by-product of matrix element effects, but rather represents a cross-over from a quasiparticle band at low binding energies near the Fermi level to valence bands at higher binding energy, assumed to be of strong oxygen character, in both hole- and electron-doped cuprates. While photoemission matrix elements clearly play a role in changing the aesthetic appearance of the band dispersion, i.e. the 'waterfall'-like behavior, they provide an inadequate description for the physics that underlies the strong band renormalization giving rise to the HEA. Model calculations of the single-band Hubbard Hamiltonian showcase the role played by correlations in the formation of the HEA and uncover significant differences in the HEA energy scale for hole- and electron-doped cuprates. In addition, this approach properly captures the transfer of spectral weight accompanying both hole and electron doping in a correlated material and provides a unifying description of the HEA across both sides of the cuprate phase diagram.

REMARKS.— The taxonomic status of the Hawaiian species H. tenuis Gilbert and Hubbs, 1917 has yet to be resolved. It may be a synonym of H. gracilis. Okamura (1970:58) recognized Hymenogadus as a full genus with two included species, H. gracilis and H. kuronumai, and by implication, also H. tenuis. Okamura also placed H. kuronumai into its own subgenus Spicomacrurus Okamura, 1970, a taxon that Iwamoto et al. (2011) elevated to full generic status. Hymenogadus gracilis appears to be more characteristic of oceanic elevations, such as islands, seamounts, and ridges, than to continental landmasses, and the terete body form is suggestive of a more pelagic, active-swimming lifestyle (not benthic, as proposed by Okamura 1970:60). Surprisingly, the species was not recorded by Okamura (in Okamura et al. 1982) from the Kyushu-Palau Ridge. Pelagic captures have been reported (Sazonov and Iwamoto 1992) in the upper 300 m over bottom depths of> 1,000 m.

L'autonomia del logos. Esposizione della filosofia di Ernst Cassirer da un punto di vista epistemologico.

description: La tesi si propone di esporre il nucleo portante della filosofia di Cassirer a partire e secondo la sua impostazione trascendentale, ossia declinando la questione sottesa a quest'impostazione nei suoi due cardini principali, che riguardano da un lato la possibilità della fisica matematica e dall'altro la traduzione critica dei presupposti dell'ontologia. La tesi intende infine dimostrare che lungi dal rinunciare al "fiero nome" dell'ontologia, o meglio, che pur rinunciando a tale titolo nobiliare, pur tuttavia il trascendentale medesimo vuole essere esattamente l'ipotesi di un'ontologia, in qualche modo il suo "compimento", così come il suo primo presupposto - appunto, un'ipotesi.

description: Aporias of commons. Territorial Practices and forms of management in extractive industry: the quarries in Campania
The renewed interest in the issue of the government of the commons, risen from the debate on CPRs, has recently known an unusual spreading. However, if the debate seems to run aground to the opposition ownership/management – public/private, the indistinct use of the term risks to weaken its significance. Among the plurality of theories and the emergence of experiences variously inspired to the idea of commons, this paper focuses on one peculiar aspect of the territorial governance in Italy: the case of quarries, with particular attention to the policy implemented by Campania Region.
Quarries, although being common goods and public properties, assigned in
concession to private stakeholders, once exhausted, are returned to the collectivities.
This practice contributes to the depletion of the territory, increasing phenomena of territorial injustice. In order to explore the relationship between legal forms and territorialisation processes, the practices concerning the use of a non-renewable resource, such as a quarry, reveals the contradictions inherent to the management of a good substantially-excluded from collective use of such environmental resources.

Apories des biens communs. Pratiques territoriales et formes de gestion dans le secteur extractif: les carrières en Campanie
Le regain d’attention aux problèmes du gouvernement des biens communs émergé du débat sur les commons, au cours des dernières années, a eu une diffusion inusitée.
Toutefois, si le débat semble s’échouer dans les antinomies propriété/gestion -
public/privé, l’utilisation indistincte de l’expression est susceptible d’en affaiblir la portée. Parmi la pluralité des théories et la germination d’expériences qui s’inspirent à divers degrés à l’idée de bien commun, cette contribution entend examiner un aspect particulier de la gestion territoriale en Italie: le cas des carrières, avec une référence particulière à la politique poursuivie par la Région Campanie.
Les carrières, bien qu’étant des ressources collectives, sont des biens dont la
propriété est attribué en concession à des acteurs privés et, une fois épuisées, elles sont restituées aux collectivités. Cette pratique contribue à l’appauvrissement du territoire, ce qui exacerbe les phénomènes d’injustice territoriale. Afin d’explorer la relation entre les formes juridiques et les processus de territorialisation, les pratiques qui concernent l’utilisation d’une ressource non renouvelable, comme les carrières, révèlent les contradictions intrinsèques à la gestion d’un bien essentiellement exclu de l’utilisation collective des ressources territoriales.
