Limitations in physical performance in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Creators: name: Haj Ghanbari, Bahareh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) show deficits in physical performance, including skeletal muscle dysfunction (atrophy, weakness), and activity limitation due to fatigue, dyspnea, and pain. Little is known about the pattern of pain and muscle dysfunction and how they impact physical performance in people with COPD. Based on the components of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (i.e. body structure, body function, and activity limitation), the purposes of this thesis were to examine patients with COPD to determine: 1) thigh muscle shape and size changes; 2) the severity, interference, and characteristics of pain; 3) how comorbidities relate to pain; 4) the relationships between pain and physical performance (muscle strength, walk distance, and daily physical activity). Methods and Results: Three sets of cross-sectional experiments were performed. Study 1: Size and shape descriptors derived from magnetic resonance imaging of thighs were compared in COPD patients to healthy people. Muscle atrophy and shape changes were common and non-uniformly distributed among individual thigh muscles compared to healthy people (Chapter 2). Study 2: A survey study demonstrated that pain severity and interference (measured by the McGill Pain Questionnaire and Brief Pain Inventory) were higher in people with COPD compared to age- and gender-matched controls (n=47 per group). The number of comorbidities was an independent correlate of pain severity in COPD (Chapter 3). A second analysis of the survey data was performed on a larger sample of COPD patients who experienced pain (n=54) further explored the pattern of comorbidities and pain. The number of comorbidities was associated with pain severity and interference; musculoskeletal and endocrine conditions contribute to pain severity; and people with COPD were under-treated for pain (Chapter 4). Study 3: This cross-sectional study demonstrated that pain was associated with a lower six-minute walk test, shorter active and standing times, and longer sedentary times (measured by three-dimensional accelerometry), and increased body mass index (Chapter 5). In summary, regional muscle atrophy might contribute to deficits in muscle performance in people with COPD. In addition, pain is significant in people with COPD and can be considered as an activity-limiting factor in COPD.

description: How did life originate? Modern evolutionary theories postulate a continuum extending from abiotically formed macromolecules to those capable of reproducing themselves and mutating in a manner which can be considered characteristic of the processes of metabolism, growth, reproduction, sensitivity, and evolution. In this sense, life consists of a small segment of possible chemical reactions. The basic element of these reactions, carbon, is unique because of its ability to form four equivalent sp³ bonds. The strength of the s character is essential for the formation of stable polymers, while the ability to form four bonds permits the greatest degree of structural complexity and thus maximum possible specificity.
Kafka e Karl Stauffer-Bern. Sul personaggio di Titorelli

description: Stauffer-Bern’s biography by Otto Brahm can be regarded as an important source for Titorelli, the painter in Kafka’s novel Der Prozeß. The way in which Kafka used this source recalls the idea of “lethetic Reading”, which Clayton Koelb introduces in order to explain the relationship between Kafka’s text Das Schweigen der Sirenen and Homer’s episode in The Odyssey. Although Kafka may have used Stauffer-Bern as a basis for his own creation, he used only a few of the details he found in Brahm’s biography. The importance of this source can then be appreciated only if we consider the story of Stauffer as the missing link between Titorelli and Kafka’s later creation of Gracchus.

Una lettura del De Consolatione Philosophiae di Severino Boezio
Creators: name: Fedriga, Riccardo
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2008

description: Il problema filosofico di Boezio, già chiaro sin dalla comparsa sulla scena di Filosofia, risiede nel tentativo di chiarire come si possano avere conoscenze stabili, cioè necessarie, di cose mutevoli, cioè contingenti, ed è un problema di coesistenza tra le une e le altre. Una lettura filosofica che, trasposta in termini teologici, porta a questa idea di creazione: un mondo contingente creato da un Dio, in sé necessario, che nel momento in cui crea lo fa in relazione ai suoi modi di conoscere, cioè necessitando in modo condizionato le cose esistenti. In tal modo, egli fonda la nostra conoscenza del mondo e quella di noi stessi che il mondo vediamo, pensiamo e giudichiamo mentre vediamo, pensiamo e giudichiamo di vedere, pensare e giudicare il mondo.

La storia della Consolatio Philosophiae è la storia tragica di quell’ipotetico generale, di cui scrive Musil, che per ragioni strategiche manda dei battaglioni alla morte sicura, ed è un assassino se si pensa che si tratta di migliaia di figli di mamma; ma diventa subito qualcos’altro se si connette il fatto con altri pensieri, per esempio con la necessità del sacrificio o la brevità della vita. È poi la storia tragica della presa d’atto di quanto sia utile ma falso il tentativo di chi considera la vita che si presenta dinnanzi come un dato fisso e fermo. E lo è perché è la contemporanea storia del tragico tentativo di fondare il pensiero sul mondo a partire dalla consapevolezza che il mondo potrebbe mutare in ogni istante in tutte le direzioni, o almeno in una qualunque di esse.

We start from as simple as possible models, which have microscopic, agent-based, versions and macroscopic treatment in behavior. Microscopic and macroscopic versions of herding model proposed by Kirman and Bass diffusion of new products are considered in this contribution as two basic ideas. Further we demonstrate that general herding behavior can be considered as a background of nonlinear stochastic model of financial fluctuations.

Language socialization and ideological change in EFL textbooks in China : grammar, rhetoric, and genres
Creators: name: Zhou, Ting Ting
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Although previous research has revealed that explicit and implicit ideologies are embedded in language textbooks, few have looked at how these ideologies change over time in English language textbooks, particularly in the context of China—a country that has undergone remarkable sociopolitical transitions. This study examines three series of EFL textbooks published in China in 1978, 1995 and 2003 to uncover (1) how the incorporation or transmission of ideologies in the textbooks changed and how have those same changes reflected changes in China’s political, social and cultural contexts during the past three decades; and (2) what and how the image of China, the world, English learners, and the (grammatical and other) functions of English represented at different points in time in official English textbooks used in secondary schools also changed. Based on perspectives from language socialization and critical discourse analysis of changes specifically in the use of grammar, rhetoric and genre in the textbooks, the findings show a tendency of the textbooks to move from collectivist ideologies serving mainly the interests of the country in the 1970s to individualist ideologies that concern the interests of the learners in the 2000s. The image of China transitioned from being “strong” to “friendly” to “international” while its relationship with the world changed from that of China and (or versus) the world to China in the world. In addition, the learners for whom textbooks were designed were being socialized into the identity of Chinese citizens (socialist patriots) in the 1970s but global citizens in the 2000s. The functions of English, in turn, shifted during this time from facilitating communication for scientific, business and travelling purposes, to enhancing cross-cultural understanding in the 21st century. The study concludes with a discussion of the implications of research on textbooks for English language education more broadly.

Subjects: translation Studies, ESP, translation teaching

description: This paper discusses translation assessment, first of all by briefly outlining the topic, then by restricting the reflection to specialized translation in didactic contexts and, finally, by discussing how to determine assessment criteria in one specific academic case, the ‘English specialized translation’ course of the ‘Lingue moderne per la comunicazione e la cooperazione internazionale’ Master’s programme of the University of Milan, Italy. Both generic (common to all Master’s programmes in the same ministerial class) and specific (typical of this course) factors were listed, examined and summed up in a preliminary study that may be used as the basis for developing a possible translation assessment model applicable to the case considered.

title: DEPRECATED: Effects of Short Term Stretching on Ankle Stiffness and Range of Motion in People with Multiple Sclerosis
Creators: name: Ofori, Jodielin

Subjects: Multiple Sclerosis
Stretching
Passive Stiffness
Spasticity

description: Hypertonia is seen in 85% of people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) resulting in disability and functional restrictions. Hypertonia can be caused by increases in passive stiffness and enhanced stretch reflexes (spasticity) and is frequently managed clinically using passive stretches. However, the optimal parameters of stretching such as the applied torque and stretch duration remain unclear. During commonly prescribed ankle plantarflexor stretches pwMS produced higher torques when standing in a weight bearing position compared to stretches applied using the upper limbs. Stretches could be held for 120 seconds on average and stretch duration was mainly limited by fatigue. People with higher disability tended to favour more supported stretching positions. The effects of stretching for either 30 or 10 minutes using a customised motor at three torque levels covering the range that MS participants could produce was investigated. Compared to the 10 minute stretch, greater reductions in passive stiffness and greater increases in range of movement (ROM) were seen immediately following the 30 minute stretch with the effects being sustained for the 30 minute post stretch period. Higher levels of applied torque resulted in a greater change in ROM however; there was no effect of applied torque on passive stiffness. Stretch reflex mediated stiffness was unaffected by the stretching intervention and showed transient post stretch increases. Ultrasonography was used to investigate changes in muscle–tendon length and strain in pwMS and controls and following stretching. PwMS showed evidence of stiffer muscles and increased tendon length at baseline compared to controls. Following a 10 minute stretch overall muscle length did not increase in pwMS, although increases in strain in the musculotendinous junction region were observed suggesting that more proximal regions of the muscle was likely to have contributed significantly to overall stiffness. This work highlights that stretch duration and levels of applied torque are critical factors in determining the effectiveness of stretches. The pathological mechanisms underlying hypertonia at a molecular and structural level and the effects of stretching on components of the musculo-tendinous structure and on functional ability should be ascertained.

description: The electronic ground state of a periodic system is usually described in terms of extended Bloch orbitals, but an alternative representation in terms of localized "Wannier functions" was introduced by Gregory Wannier in 1937. The connection between the Bloch and Wannier representations is realized by families of transformations in a continuous space of unitary matrices, carrying a large degree of arbitrariness. Since 1997, methods have been developed that allow one to iteratively transform the extended Bloch orbitals of a first-principles calculation into a unique set of maximally localized Wannier functions, accomplishing the solid-state equivalent of constructing localized molecular orbitals, or "Boys orbitals" as previously known from the chemistry literature. These developments are reviewed here, and a survey of the applications of these methods is presented. This latter includes a description of their use in analyzing the nature of chemical bonding, or as a local probe of phenomena related to electric polarization and orbital magnetization. Wannier interpolation schemes are also reviewed, by which quantities computed on a coarse reciprocal-space mesh can be used to interpolate onto much finer meshes at low cost, and applications in which Wannier functions are used as efficient basis functions are discussed. Finally the construction and use of Wannier functions outside the context of electronic-structure theory is presented, for cases that include phonon excitations, photonic crystals, and cold-atom optical lattices.

Tradurre la terminologia scientifica: la teoria linguistica di Herman Paul
Creators: name: Santulli, Francesca
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2012
Subjects: terminologia scientifica; traduzione; Prinzipien der Sprachgeschichte; classificazione delle scienze

description: The paper discusses the fundamental characters of terminologies, with special reference to language science. The theory of language and linguistics put forth by Herman Paul (1846-1921) is then examined, focusing on the classification of sciences illustrated in the seminal theoretical essay of the German philologist, Prinzipien der Sprachgeschichte. The analysis of Paul’s work and of the terms used brings forth the implications of this classification, which aimed to give value to linguistics under a new historical perspective. The paper then considers the English translation of Paul’s Prinzipien, showing the difficulties and the inconsistencies in the terminological choices. Only a comprehensive analysis of the theory and its terms can lead to a deeper understanding of their implications, and thus pave the way to more consistent and effective translation. However, as shown by the analysis of the title of the essay, some terms can challenge the translator to the point that it becomes necessary to privilege one of the components of meaning, and accept solutions that are far form perfect and homogeneous across different languages.

description: This article discusses and exemplifies the ways in which Italian as a product of translation differs from spontaneous Italian. In particular, the translated language would seem to be characterised by more options than native Italian, due to free variation with the options influenced by the language of the original text. Though somehow a physiological byproduct of the translation activity, interference should be monitored, as it may give rise to different interpretations  from those of the original text and/or to stylistic choices not appropriate to the context.

These results remain valid also within the larger space of functions of bounded variation $BV_{n}({\mathbb R}^{n})$. For the proofs we establish and use some new results on Luzin--type approximation of Sobolev and BV--functions by $C^k$--functions, where the exceptional sets have small Hausdorff content.

title: DEPRECATED: Patina: a Method Oriented Design Environment for Parametric Analysis
Creators: name: Shurville, Simon
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1998

description: The central issue to be addressed in this thesis is the provision of support for design tasks that require problem formation and evaluation and some inventive adaptation of products and design strategies. Hitherto, computer tools have failed to support the full range of design tasks. In particular, they have been focused upon solving previously formulated design tasks in well-defined domains where little inventiveness with materials or design strategies is required (Green, 1992a). A solution is offered in the form of an analysis that yields a new class of system, called Method Oriented Design Environments (MODEs), which provide support for some of these more complicated design tasks. An implementation of such a system is presented in the fom1 of Patina: a MODE to support parametric analysis. It is argued that the lack of support for design tasks involving problem formulation, evaluation and inventiveness with components and strategies has partly been due to usage of an overly narrow view of the design process as a basis for system development on the part of developers of knowledge aided design. To provide a more complete orientation for these developers, and 'to expand the theory of knowledge aided design, an alternative model of design tasks is developed in the form of a 'design activity space' by transferring knowledge from the field of design research to that of knowledge aided design. A mapping is constructed between this new design activity space and Green's model space of tools for knowledge aided design (Green, 1992a). The mapping is first used to analyse the range of utility of some recent alternatives to traditional knowledge based systems for design. It is then used to single out a 'niche' of design tasks that are not supported by traditional systems or their more recent alternatives. The design tasks which lie in this niche awaiting support from computer tools share the following characteristics: ( 1) they encompass the activities of analysis, synthesis and evaluation, (2) they require an intermediate degree of innovation with the product, and (3) they require an intermediate degree of innovation in design strategy. The class of tools that are proposed to offer support to tasks in this niche are named MODEs because their defining characteristic is that the majority of their constituent knowledge is derived from a design method or strategy. Therefore the main item that is being represented to the user of a MODE is such a structured method rather than an evolving artefact. This is radically different from the traditional knowledge based tools, where the item being represented is an artefact in a particular domain, and from a recent proposal for systems that depict an unstructured process (Blessing, 1994). To demonstrate the feasibility of implementing a MODE, the implementation of a system called Patina, to support designers in applying the technique of parametric analysis, is reported.
La traduzione della parola altrui nel discorso giudiziario italiano e spagnolo, tra mediazione e ricodificazione

Year: 2012
Subjects: traduzione giuridica, discorso riportato, querela, denuncia, spagnolo, italiano

description: This paper deals with the use of reported speech (RS) in Spanish criminal lawsuits (querellas) and police reports (denuncias) and argues about the most suitable strategies to translate such RS into Italian. In line of principle, the written record of the statements made by the individual(s) who filed the complaint is often the result of an oral cooperation between the plaintiff and the police officer and/or their attorney, whose subjectivity is reflected on the texts in a quite different fashion in the two legal cultures. The so-called ‘verbatim assumption’ of quotations in direct speech (DS) turns out to be a fallacy in the discussed genres, insofar as the locutor (i.e. the police officer or the attorney responsible for the drafting of the document) often normalizes the original utterances of the enunciator (i.e. the plaintiff whose point of view is represented in the report) in terms of cohesion, register and sentence length.
Usually, these texts are translated following a strictly ‘interlinear approach’, so much so as to result almost illegible. An adequate command  of genre conventions – both in the source and in the target language – and the abidance by the translation universals of simplification and explicitation may help the translator produce a more efficient and readable target text, consistent with the expectations of a jurist in the target culture.

Textual equivalence in the translation of specialized languages: discourse adherences and dissimilarities
Creators: name: Salvi, Rita
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2012
Subjects: English for specific purposes; translation and equivalence; terminology; text analysis; genre-based approach

description: Assuming that translation is necessary in all specialized languages for either informative or even persuasive purposes as well as for popularizing objectives, this contribution considers the translation needs of two types of specialized languages, legal English and English for business and management. Their requirements, strictly connected with their specific discourse communities, are analysed from the point of view of a linguist involved in an interdisciplinary scientific group, which represents a particular situation in non-literary, non-linguistic faculties. In this context, the jurists’ needs seem to be more concerned with definitory, terminological issues, whereas in business the distribution of information and textual organization prevail.
Evidence is given that, in the two sectors taken into consideration, activities such as translation and re-writing apply different strategies at a pragmatic and textual level, also in view of possible intercultural implications.

description: Due to their compactness and high flexibility to operate under dynamic conditions, proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWEs) are ideal systems for the production of green hydrogen from renewable energy sources. For the widespread implementation of PEMWEs, an understanding of their degradation mechanism is crucial. In this work, we analyze a commercial PEMWE stack via a novel approach of breaking down from the stack to the single-cell level. Therefore, the disassembled stack components are cut to fit into single cells. Then, the aged components are successively replaced with pristine or regenerated components (cleaned and polished), and electrochemical characterizations are conducted to investigate the contributions of the individual components on performance losses. In addition, several underlying degradation phenomena are identified using different physical ex-situ analysis methods. The catalyst-coated membrane (CCM) contributes the most to performance degradation because of contamination and ionomer rearrangement. Additionally, traces of calcium, likely due to insufficient water purification used during operation or for cleaning the cell components, were found. Significant oxidation was observed on the anodic components, while the electronic conductivity on the cathode side remained unchanged. The combination of electrochemical characterization with stepwise regeneration processes and physical ex-situ analysis allows to draw conclusions about the impact of different components on degradation and to analyze the underlying aging mechanisms occurring in each component.
Sulle riscritture intersemiotiche: Beowulf al cinema e a teatro

description: Following Even-Zohar’s (1979ff.) theoretical framework, particularly as regards his theory of ‘transfer’ (i.e. a text which was created in a cultural system A is re-created in a cultural system B), this essay analyses some modern cinematic and theatrical adaptations of the Old English epic poem Beowulf. Even-Zohar’s theory of transfer has been seldom used in previous research dealing with intersemiotic translation, some notable exceptions being Cattrysse (1992), Remael (2000), and Weissbrod (2004), (2006). After discussing the peculiarities of the processes of transfer applied to medieval works, the reasons why Beowulf can still nowadays play the role of an imported good and, through its rewrites, is integrated into the home repertoire of a contemporary cultural polysystem will be discussed, along with the consequences generated by this integration. Furthermore, the network of relations between the state of the home system, the nature of the transference activity, and the relations between power and market with respect to the ideological component of the process of tranfer will be taken into consideration. To this end, the notions of ‘capital’ elaborated by Bourdieu (1980), as well as that of ‘norm’ put forth by Toury ([1978] 1995) will be used. The results achieved in this study are in line with the claim that peculiar processes affecting specific form of intersemiotic translation can be detected only within the framework of a general theory of transfer.

description: The paper first focuses on the construct of popularisation and its various interpretations in the past few decades and briefly reviews the main studies that have been devoted to the analysis of the discourse of popularisation tracing the main conceptual changes and methodological evolutions.
The paper then discusses different views concerning the analysis of the popularising process, starting from the approach which compares it to that of translation. Relevant exemplifications are presented from a case study concerning the ‘translation’ of legal concepts for the lay public in a jury trial.
The following approach taken into consideration is the viewing of popularisation as recontextualisation, which implies a process of adaptation of popularising discourse to the appropriateness conditions of the new communicative events and to the constraints of the media employed. Indeed, this new communicative approach generally involves a transformation of the original discourse, as the knowledge to be disseminated is recreated in a different communicative situation for the lay audience. Relevant exemplifications are provided from a case study regarding the explanation of health risks in teen magazines.
The paper subsequently highlights the social importance acquired by the phenomenon of popularisation, with the mass media no longer seen as passive mediators of scientific knowledge, but as active participants in the production of novel information and new opinions about science and scientists. Rather than ‘explaining’ science, this new type of popularisation sets out to explain the social meaning of such events, with the consequent creation of interdiscursive texts mixing informative and explanatory discourse with other scientifically-unrelated matters of more general public concern. In this process of interdiscursive expression, the recontextualisation of scientific knowledge may run the risk of deviation and utilization for other ends. In the discussion of this issue, examples are given about the ‘neutrality’ of the presentation of medical facts in consumer information leaflets and patient explanatory material.
The final part of the paper highlights the need for the adoption of an integrated approach in the analysis of popularising discourse, so as to clearly identify and carefully describe all the aspects involved in this process.

description: We study the feeding of massive galaxies at high redshift through streams from the cosmic web using the Mare Nostrum hydro-cosmological simulation. Our statistical sample consists of 350 dark-matter haloes of ~10^12 Msun at z = 2.5. We find that ~70% of the influx into the virial radius Rv is in narrow streams covering 10% of the virial shell. On average 64% of the stream influx is in one stream, and 95% is in three dominant streams. The streams that feed a massive halo tend to lie in a plane that extends from half to a few Rv, hereafter "the stream plane" (SP). The streams are typically embedded in a thin sheet of low-entropy gas, a Zel'dovich pancake, which carries ~20% of the influx into Rv. The filaments-in-a-plane configuration about the massive haloes at the nodes of the cosmic web differs from the large- scale structure of the web where the filaments mark the intersections of slanted sheets. The stream plane is only weakly aligned with the angular momentum (AM) near Rv, consistent with the fact that typically 80% of the AM is carried by one dominant stream. The galactic disc plane shows a weak tendency to be perpendicular to the large-scale SP, consistent with tidal-torque theory. Most interesting, the direction of the disc AM is only weakly correlated with the AM direction at Rv. This indicates a significant AM exchange at the interphase between streams and disc in the greater environment of the disc inside an "AM sphere" of radius ~0.3Rv . The required large torques are expected based on the perturbed morphology and kinematics within this interaction sphere. This AM exchange may or may not require a major modification of the standard disc modeling based on AM conservation, depending on the extent to which the amplitude of the disc AM is affected, which is yet to be studied.

description: This paper addresses the topic of rewriting in journalistic discourse by examining the typical textual features of the press release, one of the most commonly used journalistic sources. Journalism has long being recognised as being based on reproductive writing practices (Jakobs 2003), as it consists, as Bell (1991: 41) puts it, “of previously composed text reworked into text news”. In this process of rewriting, a key role is played by sources. While their use (and occasional manipulation) on the part of journalists has been variously explored in the literature, less has been done to investigate the textual features of documents specifically designed to serve as sources, most notably press releases. The paper provides a description of the characterising features of the genre of the press release, highlighting the essentially “preformulated” nature (Jacobs 1999) of these documents, i.e. the fact that their formal traits, as well as the structuring of their content, are strategically designed to facilitate reproduction. The paper concludes that while the re-use of textual material from sources is a crucial aspect of journalistic text production, care should be taken to distinguish between rewriting and uncritical textual reproduction: although recourse to the latter has been growing exponentially over the last decade due to an increasing shortening of news production cycles that has turned journalists into “processors rather than generators of news” (Lewis et al. 2008: 27) under constant pressure to continuously “churn out” (Davis 2008) stories, a renewed attention to rewriting as a key component of journalistic text production practices should be encouraged.

description: In the past few decades, public and private institutions have become more aware of the fact that citizens and consumers need to receive intelligible and personalized information and that, therefore, the speaker or writer necessarily needs to deliver communication that the public can understand, relate to and use.
The present paper focuses on a number of texts drawn from French speaking countries, in which the potential recipients of a specific text have been part of the rewriting process involving the editing of the text. The texts considered give the opportunity to observe edited texts belonging to various fields (public administration, public health and law), s and different genres: administrative blank forms, pharmaceutical inserts, legislative or constitutional discourse (the Constitution of Switzerland, the French Labor code). The contribution reveals how the addressees have been involved in rewriting process and identifies the linguistic aspects they have taken into consideration. In particular, we focus on plain language and gender identity.

description: In a previous paper with Adam Brandenburger, we used sheaf theory to analyze the structure of non-locality and contextuality. Moreover, on the basis of this formulation, we showed that the phenomena of non-locality and contextuality can be characterized precisely in terms of obstructions to the existence of global sections. Our aim in the present work is to build on these results, and to use the powerful tools of sheaf cohomology to study the structure of non-locality and contextuality. We use the Cech cohomology on an abelian presheaf derived from the support of a probabilistic model, viewed as a compatible family of distributions, in order to define a cohomological obstruction for the family as a certain cohomology class. This class vanishes if the family has a global section. Thus the non-vanishing of the obstruction provides a sufficient (but not necessary) condition for the model to be contextual. We show that for a number of salient examples, including PR boxes, GHZ states, the Peres-Mermin magic square, and the 18-vector configuration due to Cabello et al. giving a proof of the Kochen-Specker theorem in four dimensions, the obstruction does not vanish, thus yielding cohomological witnesses for contextuality.
