How to Distinguish Norms from Values
Creators: name: Fassio, Davide
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2016

description: It is difficult to find decisive criteria by which to distinguish norms from values. In this article I argue that if we assume that norms essentially possess a specific set of properties, and that values do not possess these properties, we can better appreciate the distinction between norms and values and explain the plausibility of other traditional criteria of distinction. The relevant properties are that norms are directed to some addressees, possess conditions of satisfaction and are supposed to guide and motivate their addressees to satisfy these conditions.

description: Nuclear rings are generally formed because gas is accumulated in orbital resonances, due to a non-axisymmetric gravitational potential related to a barred structure. However, NGC7742 does not exhibit this latter feature, thus being an ideal candidate for a minor merger event. In this work, we analyze 89 HII regions of the nuclear ring, from MUSE integral-field spectroscopy data. We have studied their metallicity using sulfur as tracer in order to find patterns in chemical composition. From R-I colors and values of H beta equivalent widths, and using PopStar models, we estimate ages and percentages of red super giant stars. In addition, we have measured calcium triplet (CaT) equivalent widths and we can estimate the luminosity class of the stars in these clumps producing this feature. Finally, we expect to test if this is compatible with the idea of all regions having formed at the same time and if a minor merger event is consistent with observations.

description: This work reviews basic features of both Rayleigh-Bénard (RB) convection and internally heated (IH) convection, along with findings on IH convection from laboratory experiments and numerical simulations. In the first chapter, six canonical models of convection are described: three configurations of IH convection driven by constant and uniform volumetric heating, and three configurations of RB convection driven by the boundary conditions. The IH models are distinguished by differing pairs of thermal boundary conditions: top and bottom boundaries of equal temperature, an insulating bottom with heat flux fixed at the top, and an insulating bottom with temperature fixed at the top. The RB models also are distinguished by whether temperatures or heat fluxes are fixed at the top and bottom boundaries. Integral quantities important to heat transport are discussed, including the mean fluid temperature, the mean temperature difference between the boundaries, and the mean convective heat transport. Integral relations and bounds are presented, and further bounds are conjectured for the IH cases. The second chapter presents results that can be derived mathematically from the governing equations: linear and nonlinear stability thresholds of static states, and parameter-dependent bounds. Known bounds are on mean temperatures in IH convection and on convective transport in RB convection. The third chapter reviews numerical simulations and laboratory experiments on IH convection, emphasizing quantitative results.

Year: 2016

description: This study examined the hidden ethical elements of norms in Ibibio culture and its dayto- day manifestations within the periscope of ethical prerequisite. This study presents a socio-cultural description of Ibibio norms which are an integral part of the culture, social custom, rituals and beliefs governing social coexistence. It argues that though norm is a cultural production with emphasis on prohibitions, Ibibio norms dictates behavioral and/ or conversational re-orientation.

description: We consider a plane channel flow of an electrically conducting fluid which is driven by a mean pressure gradient in the presence of an applied magnetic field that is streamwise periodic with zero mean. Magnetic flux expulsion and the associated bifurcation in such a configuration is explored using direct numerical simulations (DNS). The structure of the flow and magnetic fields in the Hartmann regime (where the dominant balance is through Lorentz forces) and the Poiseuille regime (where viscous effects play a significant role) are studied and detailed comparisons to the existing one-dimensional model of Kamkar and Moffatt (J. Fluid. Mech., Vol.90, pp 107-122, 1982) are drawn to evaluate the validity of the model. Comparisons show good agreement of the model with DNS in the Hartmann regime, but significant diferences arising in the Poiseuille regime when non-linear effects become important. The effects of various parameters like the magnetic Reynolds number, imposed field wavenumber etc. on the bifurcation of the flow are studied. Magnetic field line reconnections occuring during the dynamic runaway reveal a specific two-step pattern that leads to the gradual expulsion of flux in the core region.

description: Detailed chemical composition of stars is of prime interest for a range of topics in modern stellar astrophysics, such as the chemical evolution of the Galaxy or the formation, composition, and structure of exoplanets. In this work, we derive the C and O abundances and update Sc, V, Mn, and Co abundances considering hyperfine structure (HFS) effects for the 192 primary stars in FGK+M wide binary systems by means of the equivalent width (EW) method and high-resolution spectroscopic data, complementing the previous study of several elements (Fe, Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, Cr, Ni, Na, and Al). These individual abundances are extrapolated to the secondary M dwarfs, whose spectra are complex and notoriously difficult to model due to the presence of prominent molecular features. Lastly, we computed abundance calibrations which allow us to estimate individual abundances for M dwarfs using spectral indices computed from low-resolution spectra. In conclusion, this work covers the study of chemical abundances in FGK stars and expands it to the M dwarfs, providing a new method to estimate their chemical composition.

description: Metallicity has remained as a challenging parameter when characterizing M-type dwarf stars due to difficulties in the analysis of their spectra, dominated by molecular features, but it is required in multiple areas of astrophysics, for example to constrain theoretical stellar models or guide exoplanet searches. In order to estimate the metallicity of these cool stars, we have carried out multi-band photometric calibrations for early and intermediate M dwarfs using the precision, accuracy, and homogeneity of both astrometry and photometry from Gaia DR3, complemented by near- and mid-IR photometry from 2MASS and CatWISE2020 surveys. These catalogs, combined with a sample of 5453 M dwarfs with additional parameters determined by APOGEE high-resolution spectroscopy, allow us to study the effect of the chemical composition in color-color and color-magnitude diagrams. We train calibrations using Bayesian statistics and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques using Stan to derive several photometric calibrations applicable to M dwarfs with metallicities in the range of -0.45≤[Fe/H]≤+0.45 and spectral types down to M5.0V, obtaining estimations reliable to 0.10 dex. Finally, we compare our results with previous photometric studies of metallicity found in the literature for an additional sample of 46 M-dwarf common-proper-motion companions of FGK-type primary stars with well-defined spectroscopic metallicities, finding a great predictive performance.

D2-brane Chern-Simons theories: F-maximization = a-maximization

description: We study a system of N D2-branes probing a generic Calabi-Yau three-fold singularity in the presence of a non-zero quantized Romans mass n. We argue that the low-energy effective N = 2 Chern-Simons quiver gauge theory flows to a superconformal fixed point in the IR, and construct the dual AdS_4 solution in massive IIA supergravity. We compute the free energy F of the gauge theory on S^3 using localization. In the large N limit we find F = c(nN)^{1/3}a^{2/3}, where c is a universal constant and a is the a-function of the "parent" four-dimensional N = 1 theory on N D3-branes probing the same Calabi-Yau singularity. It follows that maximizing F over the space of admissible R-symmetries is equivalent to maximizing a for this class of theories. Moreover, we show that the gauge theory result precisely matches the holographic free energy of the supergravity solution, and provide a similar matching of the VEV of a BPS Wilson loop operator.

Embodied Visual Perception. An Argument from Plessner (1923)
Creators: name: De Monticelli, Roberta
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2016

description: Thatcher’s Perceptual Illusion is presented as a case study to test the fruitfulness of Helmuth Plessner’s Aesthesiology for contemporary philosophical and empirical research on sensory perception (§1). In one reading, Thatcher Illusion’s seems to question Gestalt Theory. We argue that it limits ideed its explanatory power, by forcing us to distinguish physiognomic identity from emotional expression (§2). Although integrating Gestalt Theory, Aesthesiology takes a further step into a thorough criticism of contemporary reductions of Phenomenal Consciousness in terms of Qualia: an embodied-enactive theory of perception (§3). Plessner’s insights into Geometry and Music as “symbolic forms” grounded, respectively, on goal-directed action/objects manipulation, and on emotional expression are expounded (§4). The Thatcher’s Illusion’s Puzzle is solved on the basis of this Plessnerian distinction (§5).

description: We perform the first harmonic space joint analysis of Galaxy Clustering and Weak Lensing cosmological probes with the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP) public data. This project has two main goals: (i) set precise constraints to ΛCDM cosmological parameters analysing the HSC-SSP public data in this multi-probe study and (ii) develop measurement and analysis tools that will be required when the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) starts operating at the end of 2023. HSC is optimal as a precursor of the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC) as it is the deepest Stage III survey and uses a prototype version of the Rubin Science Pipeline. One of the highlights of our process is that we apply mode deprojection as a method to correct for the impact of observing conditions in the galaxy density field and in the spin-2 shear field. Another important ingredient in a multi-experiment analysis is the covariance matrix, necessary to account for the correlation between the different probes. We describe the implementation of the Gaussian and Super-Sampling terms. As our main result, we present preliminary constraints in the plane Ωm – S8 that are competitive with the current state of the art.

Why Perception Matters
Creators: name: Ferraris, Maurizio
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2016

description: What I would like to do in what follows is to explain how, in my view, realism cannot but engage with perception. But we have to be careful here. I am not saying that reality is nothing other than perceptual experience. That is certainly not how things are: rather, that is precisely the mistake we have to avoid, although this mistake is very often made by the many, and often well-informed, people who dismiss realism as a sort of sensism. The route that leads from aisthesis to realism is more tortuous and goes by way of some matters that are not only central to the history of modern philosophy, but also apt to recur like a persistent disease.

On the Reality of Percepts: Husserl and Gibson
Creators: name: Zhok, Andrea
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2016

description: Although the theoretical background of Edmund Husserl and James Gibson respectively could be hardly more distant, their accounts of perception show high compatibility. This compatibility does not extend to the ontological status of percepts. We propose here a short contrastive analysis of Gibson’s and Husserl’s theses on the relation between perception and reality. We dwell on three restrictions formulated by Gibson with regard respectively to the nature of memory, imagination and the biological meaning of affordances. These restrictions, which are functional to Gibson’s direct realism, are then criticised in the light of relevant Husserlian analyses. Finally, we suggest a phenomenological line of inquiry able to address and resettle the ordinary notion of perceptual reality.

In order to develop a comprehensive description of the charge carriers in these Weyl semimetals, we performed systematic electronic structure calculations which reveal the nature of Fermi surfaces and their complex interconnectivity in TaAs, TaP, NbAs, and NbP. Our work report the first comparative and comprehensive study of Fermi surface topology and band structure details of all known members of the Weyl semimetal family and provide the necessary building blocks for advancing our understanding of their unique topologically protected low-energy Weyl fermion physics.

The Role of Tactility in the Constitution of Embodied Experience
Creators: name: Fugali, Edoardo
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2016

description: In this paper I aim at highlighting the role touch plays in comparison to other sensory modalities both in our apprehension of reality and in the development of our bodily selfawareness. I will try to discuss above all the latter topic by showing that touch enjoys an unique status among the senses because of the coincidence between its bodily organ – the flesh – and its material sensory medium. For this essential link with the whole living organism touch ensures at the highest degree our anchorage to the world and exerts an epistemological supremacy since its cognitive performances contribute to establishing a robust sense of reality, by confronting ourselves with the resistance opposed by the things. In its essential connection with proprioception, kinesthesia and bodily feelings tactile perception constitutes the bodily intentionality in its basic form and therefore assures the mutual interplay between different sensory modalities. Another exclusive feature of tactile perception consists in its double function as proprioceptive and exteroceptive direction, as shown by the unique phenomenon of touchant/touché. Husserl and Merleau-Ponty have devoted their attention to the relevance of this experience in generating the bodily self-awareness in its reflexive structure.

description: Background On February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine so several refugees went to Poland, Romania, Russia, but also to Italy. Several factors contributed to low vaccination coverage in Ukraine and the occurrence of epidemic outbreaks. The purpose of our study was to analyze the main characteristics of refugees who accessed the Rozzano Vaccination Center (Italy), and the attitude towards proposed vaccinations. Methods In March-July 2022, we conducted a cross sectional study on Ukrainian refugees under the age of 18. On the basis of their vaccination certificates or antibody dosages, the doctor proposed to the parents (or legal guardians) any vaccinations to be carried out on the basis of the Italian Vaccinal Calendar. Refused or accepted vaccinations were registered and the data exported for statistical analysis. COVID-19 vaccination was excluded from our analysis. Results 27 refugees missed the appointment, so 79 Ukrainian refugees have been included in the study. Females represented the 51.90% of patients; the average age was 7.11 (sd 4.92) years. The most refused vaccinations were: HPV, MMR and men C. Significant differences due to age were found for Men C and Chickenpox. Conclusions The efforts made to ensure complete care and promote vaccination among refugees, offering them a complete evaluation of the vaccination status and the possibility of being vaccinated for free, seem to be insufficient to convince most refugees to get vaccinated.

description: In this paper, we theoretically investigate a new technique for simultaneous information and power transfer (SWIPT) in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) point-to-point with radio frequency energy harvesting capabilities. The proposed technique exploits the spatial decomposition of the MIMO channel and uses the eigenchannels either to convey information or to transfer energy. In order to generalize our study, we consider channel estimation error in the decomposition process and the interference between the eigenchannels. An optimization problem that minimizes the total transmitted power subject to maximum power per eigenchannel, information and energy constraints is formulated as a mixed-integer nonlinear program and solved to optimality using mixed-integer second-order cone programming. A near-optimal mixed-integer linear programming solution is also developed with robust computational performance. A polynomial complexity algorithm is further proposed for the optimal solution of the problem when no maximum power per eigenchannel constraints are imposed. In addition, a low polynomial complexity algorithm is developed for the power allocation problem with a given eigenchannel assignment, as well as a low-complexity heuristic for solving the eigenchannel assignment problem.

description: In Weyl materials the valence and conduction electron bands touch at an even number of isolated points in the Brillouin zone. In the vicinity of these points the electron dispersion is linear and may be described by the massless Dirac equation. This results in nontrivial topology of Berry connection curvature. One of its consequences is the existence of peculiar surface electron states whose Fermi surfaces form arcs connecting projections of the Weyl points onto the surface plane. Band bending near the boundary of the crystal also produces surface states. We show that in Weyl materials band bending near the crystal surface gives rise to spiral structure of energy surfaces of arc states. The corresponding Fermi surface has the shape of a spiral that winds about the projection of the Weyl point onto the surface plane. The direction of the winding is determined by the helicity of the Weyl point and the sign of the band bending potential. For close valleys arc state morphology may be understood in terms of avoided crossing of oppositely winding spirals.

Recent works by the Gaia Collaboration have already made use of the excellent proper motions of Gaia DR2 and Gaia EDR3 for a first such analysis, but were based on limited strategies to distinguish the LMC stars from the Milky Way foreground that do not use all the available information and could not use the third component of the stellar motion, the line of sight velocity, that is now available on Gaia DR3 for a significant number of stars.

description: We simulate one-dimensional arrays of tunnel junctions using the kinetic Monte Carlo method to study charge filling behaviour in the large charging energy limit. By applying a small fixed voltage bias and varying the offset voltage, we investigate this behaviour in clean and disordered arrays (both weak and strong disorder effects). The offset voltage dependent modulation of the current is highly sensitive to background charge disorder and exhibits substantial variation depending on the strength of the disorder. We show that while small fractional charge filling factors are likely to be washed out in experimental devices due to strong background charge disorder, larger factors may be observable.

description: Introduction. The COVID-19 pandemic is having a huge impact on human health with high morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. Healthcare Workers (HCWs) are one of the most at risk categories to contract the infection. Effective anti-COVID-19 vaccines were approved in a very short time. Making the 1st booster dose is essential to induce a good protection against the infection. Methods. We conducted a retrospective sero-epidemiological survey of already existing data concerning the antibody response of a HCWs sample vaccinated with the primary cycle and the 1st booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA vaccine and, specifically, after three weeks from the third dose of vaccination. Results. In our analysis, after the primary cycle, a 95.15% efficacy was detected. Among the non-responders, women were significantly more frequent (69.56%). Moreover, we found a significant reverse correlation between the immune response and the age of the sample, especially in women. However, the 1st booster dose completely cancelled these differences. Conclusions. Our data are perfectly in line with what has been declared by the conducted studies in terms of efficacy. However, it is important to highlight that people with only the primary cycle are at high risk to contract the COVID-19 infection. Therefore, it is necessary to not consider people vaccinated with the primary cycle completely risk-free and to stress the importance to perform the 1st booster dose.

description: The interaction between light and novel two-dimensional electronic states holds promise to realize new fundamental physics and optical devices. Here, we use pump-probe photoemission spectroscopy to study the optically-excited Dirac surface states in the bulk-insulating topological insulator Bi2Te2Se, and reveal optical properties that are in sharp contrast to those of bulk-metallic topological insulators. We observe a gigantic optical life-time exceeding 4 micro-sec for the surface states in Bi2Te2Se, whereas the life-time in most topological insulators such as Bi2Se3 has been limited to a few picoseconds. Moreover, we discover a surface photo-voltage in topological materials, a shift of the chemical potential of the Dirac surface states, as large as 100 mV. Our results demonstrate a rare platform to study charge excitation and relaxation in energy and momentum space in a two dimensional quantum system.

description: We introduce new control-volume finite-element discretization schemes suitable for solving the Stokes problem. Within a common framework, we present different approaches for constructing such schemes. The first and most established strategy employs a non-overlapping partitioning into control volumes. The second represents a new idea by splitting into two sets of control volumes, the first set yielding a partition of the domain and the second containing the remaining overlapping control volumes required for stability. The third represents a hybrid approach where finite volumes are combined with finite elements based on a hierarchical splitting of the ansatz space. All approaches are based on typical finite element function spaces but yield locally mass and momentum conservative discretization schemes that can be interpreted as finite volume schemes. We apply all strategies to the inf-sub stable MINI finite-element pair. Various test cases, including convergence tests and the numerical observation of the boundedness of the number of preconditioned Krylov solver iterations, as well as more complex scenarios of flow around obstacles or through a three-dimensional vessel bifurcation, demonstrate the stability and robustness of the schemes.

description: Poster contribution to the SEA XV Scientific Meeting. Lithium abundance is an age indicator for G and K stellar types since its surface abundance decreases over time for these spectral types. However, despite all the observational effort made during the last 30 years, the role of rotation and stellar activity on this process is still unclear. Our purpose is to investigate how lithium depletion is affected by rotation in G and K stars of the M35 open cluster. We take advantage of three previous WIYN/HYDRA spectroscopic studies of Li in M35 G-K stellar types, which provide an initial sample of 251 dwarfs. In addition, we have also taken into account over 160 candidate members observed with the same instrument, collecting a final sample of nearly 400 stars. In order to distinguish between members and non members of the cluster, we have combined the membership probabilities published in 2015 as part of the DANCe program and the results provided by Clusterix 2.0, a Spanish Virtual Observatory tool. Finally, we have measured the LiI 6707.8 Å equivalent width for the M35 candidates added and we have crossed our sample with several photometric surveys to obtain rotational periods for the members of this cluster. The analysis carried out so far confirms that fast rotators of K spectral type tend to be Li-rich compared with slow rotators of similar effective temperature. This general trend follows the results already observed in the Pleiades for G and K dwarfs.
Bodily Affects as Prenoetic Elements in Enactive Perception

description: In this paper we attempt to advance the enactive discourse on perception by highlighting the role of bodily affects as prenoetic constraints on perceptual experience. Enactivists argue for an essential connection between perception and action, where action primarily means skillful bodily intervention in one’s surroundings. Analyses of sensory-motor contingencies (as in Noë 2004) are important contributions to the enactive account. Yet this is an incomplete story since sensory-motor contingencies are of no avail to the perceiving agent without motivational pull in one direction or another or a sense of the pertinent affective contingencies. Before directly addressing the issue of affect in perception, we explain our peculiar, low-level conception of affect as a form of worldinvolving intentionality that modulates (minimally) bodily behavior without necessarily possessing informational value of any kind. We then address the deficiency concerning affect in enactive accounts of perception by examining some exemplary forms of bodily affect that constrain perception. We show that bodily affect significantly contributes to (either limiting or enabling) our contact with the world in our perceptually operative attentive outlook, in a kind of perceptual interest or investment, and in social perception.

Primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease

description: Objectives: Optimal regulation of modifiable risk factors, has been proposed as the standard of care, both for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of this study was to investigate at what extent individuals who experienced an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) had previously been receiving adequate preventive measures against classical risk factors for CVD. Methods: Data were analyzed for all 185 hospitalized patients with a diagnosis of ACS in the Cardiology department of our hospital during an annual period (1/7/2019 until 30/6/2020). The study population was divided in two groups, primary and secondary prevention subgroups, according to previous medical history of CAD. Results: The mean age of the participants was 65.5 ±12.2 years and most patients were male (81.6%). Fifty-seven patients (30.8%) had a history of diabetes mellitus (DM) and 97 (52.4%) had a history of dyslipidemia. Hypertension was present in 101 (54.6%) patients and coronary artery disease (CAD) in 51 (27.9%). In the secondary prevention group, the LDL-C was on target in only one third, while one out of 5 patients did not use statins. The use of antiplatelet/anticoagulant agents was 94.5%. Among patients with diabetes, only one out of five patients had been using a GLP-1 receptor agonist or/and an SGLT-2 inhibitor, while the HbA1c was on target in half of them. One quarter of the patients were active smokers.In the primary prevention group, the use of statins was overall low (25.8%) but more frequent in patients with diabetes and those without diabetes at very high-risk (47.1% and 32.1% respectively). Overall, the LDL-C was on target in less than one quarter of patients. The use of antiplatelet/anticoagulant agents was low (20.1%), but higher in those with diabetes (52.9%). In the diabetic group, HbA1c was on target in 61.8%. Active smoking was practiced by more than one third of the patients. Conclusions: Our data show that in a substantial proportion of patients presenting with ACS, previous CVD prevention, both primary and secondary, fails to meet the current recommendations provided by scientific societies.

The Mark of the Mental

description: In this paper, I want to show that the so-called intentionalist programme, according to which the qualitative aspects of the mental have to be brought back to its intentional features, is doomed to fail. For, pace Brentano, the property that constitutes the main part of such intentional features, i.e., intentionality, is not the mark of the mental, neither in the proper Brentanian sense, according to which intentionality is the both necessary and sufficient condition of the mental, nor in its ‘watered down’ counterpart recently defended by Tim Crane, according to which intentionality is just the necessary condition of the mental. However, this does not mean that being mental is just a heterogenous category. For there may be another mark of the mental, i.e., consciousness, in the phenomenological sense of the property of being experienced.

description: Learning conditions that provide task-relevant autonomy, and those that encourage cognitive effort through manipulations of difficulty, have been reported to enhance skill development. However, research is yet to directly compare these two manipulations to establish their relative contribution to enhancing motor learning. This study used an on-screen target interception task to compare an autonomous group (self-selection of racquet size), a Challenge Point group (performance-contingent racquet size), a yoked group, and a fixed racquet size control group. Task accuracy and self-report measures of intrinsic motivation and cognitive effort were recorded at multiple time points across acquisition and at immediate, 24-h, seven-day, and 30-day retention and transfer tests. Results showed that task accuracy improved over acquisition, and remained robust across all retention tests, but no between group differences were seen. Intrinsic motivation levels decreased over acquisition, but with no between group differences observed. Participants (83, mean age 40(±12) years, 50 % male) within all groups reported consistently high cognitive effort scores, and made tactical learning choices, suggesting that high task difficulty may have suppressed the more subtle effects of autonomy and performance contingent practice. Conclusions are made regarding the variability of individual approaches to a novel task and the need to build experiments that can detect these idiosyncrasies

description: The Large-Sized Telescope prototype (LST-1) of the future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) Observatory is already delivering results. In July 2021, LST-1 reported the detection of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma rays from the jetted active galactic nuclei BL Lacertae (BL Lac). Since its first detection at VHEs in 1998, several rapid gamma-ray flares with a shorter halving time of 30 minutes have been reported by different ground-based Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes. In this contribution, we present a study on the capabilities of LST-1 to probe the rapid variability emission of fast gamma-ray flares produced by BL Lac. We make use of a dedicated algorithm developed for transient VHE sources to retrieve the minimum time-binning in the source light curve for the source to be detected above a given statistical significance level, depending on the spectral properties displayed during the transient event.
