Il medico di fronte al “pharmacological cognitive enhancement” tra liberà di scienza e responsabilità penale
Creators: name: Galli, Elisabetta
Publisher: name: University of Trento
Year: 2017
Subjects: Cognitive enhancement; off-label; informed consent; doctor; legal liability

description: In recent years the subject of pharmacological cognitive enhancement has been taking on increasing significance. The article seeks to concentrate on the problem of the informed consent of the patient, in the case of the medical prescription of off-label drugs for cognitive enhancement and the potential legal consequences for the doctor in the event of harm – or the death of the patient. Indeed, many off-label drugs taken for purposes other than that for which it had been tested, have been seen to have the potential to cause side effects, resulting in illness (i.e. harm) some quite serious such as, for example, depressive syndromes, frequent migraines, and changeable moods.

COVID 19 – The External Economic Shock: Changing the Business Models
Creators: name: Nesheva-Kiosseva, Ninel
Publisher: name: Almatourism - Journal of Tourism, Culture and Territorial Development
Year: 2021

description: This essay examines the issue of changing business models as a result of the Covid pandemic, with an attention on business models in the tourism sector. A similar change is historically tangible after a massive external shock to the economy. The terms "external shock to the economy" and "pandemic" as an external economic shock have been clarified. The paper examines significant historical cases and periods in which a general and radical change took place, and the renewal of the business environment and business models as a result of external shocks to the economy. The view is presented that the Covid pandemic as an external shock is a catalyst for a change of environment and change of business models, leading to the forefront in the practice of new business models. The hypothesis of possible polar business models is considered, based on a summary of distant historical and recent experience in the specific business ecosystem and the algorithm of change. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the change, including in the business models including those in the tourism sector, will most likely require the implementation of self-created club beta versions and "ambidextrous" business models on the one hand and business models based on state entrepreneurship. Both polar business models are emerging from social trends.

The processing of personal data in the context of scientific research. The new regime under the EU-GDPR
Creators: name: Manis, Maria Luisa
Publisher: name: University of Trento
Year: 2017
Subjects: Data protection; GDPR; scientific research; exemptions; facilitating regime

description: This Article analyses the framework of rules governing the processing of personal data for scientific research purposes established by the European Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). The GDPR upheld the social function of data processing in the context of scientific research and confirmed the facilitating regime with only minor changes compared to the Directive 95/46/EC. At the same time, the GDPR didn’t exhaustively regulate key issues of data protection in this field and ultimately left to Member States the task of reconciling the benefits to society deriving from scientific research with the participants’ rights to data protection. As the EU legislator had to give up the aim to harmonize data protection rules in the context of research, only “the consistency mechanism”(which is the main institutional novelty of the GDPR) may prevent the regulatory fragmentation and legal uncertainty that the Data Protection Reform Package sought to remove.

description: Occlusion reasoning, necessary for tasks such as navigation and object search, is an important aspect of everyday life and a fundamental problem in computer vision. We believe that the amazing ability of humans to reason about occlusions from one image is based on an intrinsically 3D interpretation. In this paper, our goal is to recover the occlusion boundaries and depth ordering of free-standing structures in the scene. Our approach is to learn to identify and label occlusion boundaries using the traditional edge and region cues together with 3D surface and depth cues. Since some of these cues require good spatial support (i.e., a segmentation), we gradually create larger regions and use them to improve inference over the boundaries. Our experiments demonstrate the power of a scene-based approach to occlusion reasoning.

Creators: name: Rusconi, Gianfranco
Publisher: name: Almatourism - Journal of Tourism, Culture and Territorial Development
Year: 2021

description: Ethics, and especially related Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), was variously interpreted over time. It was sometimes considered in a limited, residual or unilateral way (philanthropy, environmental awareness, human rights, minorities, employees), not taking account of its essential link with the core business of a firm. The paper analyses those implications coming from stakeholder management, CSR and accountability considering a base of ethics in this Pandemic period.

Subjects: Moral bioenhancement; bioethics; biolaw; moral technologies; human enhancement

description: Moral bioenhancement is strictly related to the notion of Human Enhancement. In general terms, the proposal fosters interventions by means of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical tools into the human mind to make individuals become morally better. In order to understand the ethical-legal implications of this proposal, the paper will try to answer, amongst others, the following questions: Is identification of the target group of the proposal easy today? Is the traditional distinction between healthy individuals and patients so clear? What may be the implications of moral bioehancement for the rights to self-determination and construction of one’s personality?

Human Rights and Multiculturalism: The Debate on Indigenous Infanticide in Brazil
Creators: name: Scotti, Guilherme
Publisher: name: University of Trento
Year: 2017
Subjects: Human rights; multiculturalism; infanticide; indigenous rights

description: The author presents and discusses the debate on indigenous infanticide in Brazil, an issue that has become the subject of several bills in the Brazilian Congress. Moreover, the analysis takes into account other cases regarding traditional practices that conflict with human rights, such as female genital mutilation. The comparison illustrates the possibility of realizing human rights within traditional communities in a dialogical, democratic and unconstrained way. Thus, both individual rights and the collective value of ethical identities are simultaneously protected. Finally, the argument clarifies, in theoretical and practical terms, the alleged impasse between universal human rights and cultural relativism so commonly raised in the public sphere.

Gambling and (“Dark”) Flow. A holistic Study with Best Practice Cases on How to Minimize Harm
Creators: name: Ims, Knut
Publisher: name: Almatourism - Journal of Tourism, Culture and Territorial Development
Year: 2021

description: How to apply “minimize harm” as a guiding principle for regulating, redesigning, and running the gambling industry/business? The article looks at gambling through the flow concept using a four-dimensional frame of reference. The attempt is to analyze the problem of gambling from a scientific-technical, interpersonal, systemic and a spiritual-existential perspective. Two best-practice cases are used as illustrations; Norway’s national gambling monopoly operated by Norsk Tipping (NT), and the Italian city Pavia which was transformed from being “Italy’s Las Vegas” to return to the old charming city where gambling are strictly regulated. The third case illustrates the spiritual-existential dimension mirrored by a young American lawyer who became addicted to gambling, but finally sued the casinos that had ruined her life. Implications for further research are discussed, suggesting a move from “dark” flow to “green” flow.

description: Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are emerging pollutants that are widely present in the environment, and are affected by microplastics (MPs). The coexistence of MPs and ARGs enhances their abundance and transmission ability, thereby increasing their environmental hazard. This study summarized the effects of MPs on the abundance and transmission of ARGs. First, the effects of MPs on ARGs in aquatic, terrestrial, atmospheric, and animal intestinal environments were analyzed. Furthermore, factors that affect the enrichment and transfer ability of MPs, including MPs properties, human activities, environmental factors, and other pollutants, were discussed. Previous studies mainly focused on the abundance changes, propagation and diffusion of ARGs on MPs, however, the possible mechanism of these changes on ARGs caused by MPs has not been fully studied, which also leads to many explanations that are not appropriate. Therefore, in the fourth section, the detailed mechanism of MPs on abundance and transfer of ARGs is systematically discussed. As the core innovation in this article, it fills the gap that has been to be supplemented in recent years. Finally, the research challenges and prospects of the effects of MPs on the abundance and spread of ARGs are proposed in the hope that this review will be helpful to better understand the environmental risks and mechanisms of MPs on ARGs.

description: Wick's theorem, known for yielding normal ordered from time-ordered bosonic fields may be generalized for a simple relationship between any two orderings that we define over canonical variables, in a broader sense than before. In this broad class of orderings, the General Wick Theorem (GWT) follows from the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff identity. We point out that, generally, the characteristic function does not induce an unambiguous scheme to order the multiple products of the canonical operators although the value of the ordered product is unique. We construct a manifold of different schemes for each value of s of s-orderings of Cahill and Glauber.

description: EEG-based Brain Computer Interface (BCI) and Transcranial Stimulation represent one of the frontiers in brain studies, promising great potential in practical application in several fields. Indeed, compared to other brain-imaging techniques, BCI and Transcranial Stimulation are non-invasive, low cost and portable, leading to design applications in individuals’ daily life, spreading from health care to politics and defense. Indeed, Science is running fast towards unpredictable results and the implications are global across industries, in every field, but low attention is given to protect individuals’ privacy and wiliness from abuse of data and related information.

description: Proton and deuteron correlation functions have been investigated with both impact parameter and emission source selections. The correlations of the system (129Xe + natSn) at 50 AMeV have been measured with the 4 pi INDRA which provides a complete kinematical description of each event. The emission time scale analyzed with a quantum model reveals the time sequence of the light particles emitted by the projectile-like fragment. The short and constant emission time of the proton, independent of the impact parameter, can be attributed to a preequilibrium process.

Reconstructing 3D Human Pose from 2D Image Landmarks

Subjects: subject: 80101 Adaptive Agents and Intelligent Robotics

description: Reconstructing an arbitrary configuration of 3D points from their projection in an image is an ill-posed problem. When the points hold semantic meaning, such as anatomical landmarks on a body, human observers can often infer a plausible 3D configuration, drawing on extensive visual memory. We present an activity-independent method to recover the 3D configuration of a human figure from 2D locations of anatomical landmarks in a single image, leveraging a large motion capture corpus as a proxy for visual memory. Our method solves for anthropometrically regular body pose and explicitly estimates the camera via a matching pursuit algorithm operating on the image projections. Anthropometric regularity (i.e., that limbs obey known proportions) is a highly informative prior, but directly applying such constraints is intractable. Instead, we enforce a necessary condition on the sum of squared limb-lengths that can be solved for in closed form to discourage implausible configurations in 3D. We evaluate performance on a wide variety of human poses captured from different viewpoints and show generalization to novel 3D configurations and robustness to missing data.

The modified dynamics is conducive to galactic warp formation
Creators: name: Brada, Rafael

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: There is an effect in the modified dynamics (MOND) that is conducive to formation of warps. Because of the nonlinearity of the theory the internal dynamics of a galaxy is affected by a perturber over and above possible tidal effects. For example, a relatively distant and light companion or the mean influence of a parent cluster, with negligible tidal effects, could still produce a significant warp in the outer part of a galactic disk. We present results of numerical calculations for simplified models that show, for instance, that a satellite with the (baryonic) mass and distance of the Magellanic clouds can distort the axisymmetric field of the Milky Way enough to produce a warp of the magnitude (and position) observed. Details of the warp geometry remain to be explained: we use a static configuration that can produce only warps with a straight line of nodes. In more realistic simulations one must reckon with the motion of the perturbing body, which sometimes occurs on time scales not much longer than the response time of the disk.

description: Gravitational wave coalescence events provide an entirely new way to determine the Hubble constant, with the absolute distance calibration provided by the theory of general relativity. This standard siren method was utilized to measure the Hubble constant using LIGO-Virgo's detection of the binary neutron-star merger GW170817, as well as optical identifications of the host galaxy, NGC 4993. The novel and independent measurement is of particular interest given the existing tension between the value of the Hubble constant determined using Type Ia supernovae via the local distance ladder ($73.24 \pm 1.74$) and that from Cosmic Microwave Background observations ($66.93 \pm 0.62$) by $\sim 3$ sigma. Local distance ladder observations may achieve a precision of $1\%$ within 5 years, but at present there are no indications that further observations will substantially reduce the existing discrepancies. In addition to clarifying the discrepancy between existing low and high-redshift measurements, a precision measurement of the Hubble constant is of crucial value in elucidating the nature of the dark energy. Here we show that LIGO and Virgo can be expected to constrain the Hubble constant to a precision of $\sim2\%$ within 5 years and $\sim1\%$ within a decade.

Recognizing Objects by Matching Oriented Points

Subjects: subject: 80101 Adaptive Agents and Intelligent Robotics
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We present an approach to recognition of complex objects in cluttered 3-D scenes that does not require feature extraction or segmentation. Our object representation comprises descriptive images associated with each oriented point on the surface of an object. Using a single point basis constructed from an oriented point, the position of other points on the surface of the object can be described by two parameters. The accumulation of these parameters for many points on the surface of the object results in an image at each oriented point. These images, localized descriptions of the global shape of the object, are invariant to rigid transformations. Through correlation of images, point correspondences between a model and scene data are established and then grouped using geometric consistency. The effectiveness of our algorithm is demonstrated with results showing recognition of complex objects in cluttered scenes with occlusion.
Microplastics in ports worldwide: Environmental concerns or overestimated pollution levels?

description: Plastic pollution, a pervasive environmental crisis, arises from the improper disposal of non-biodegradable plastics, endangering species and ecosystems worldwide. While microplastics (MPs) have been extensively studied in various ecosystems, they have received scant attention in port environments, despite their pervasive presence. This review selected published articles conducted in ports worldwide between 2010 and 2024 to determine the concentration, accumulation characteristics, and driving factors. A total of 57 studies across 78 ports met the selection criteria, examining water, sediment, and biota in 49, 51, and 23 ports, respectively. The average concentrations of MPs in water collected by net and grab sampling, sediment, fish, and invertebrates were approximately 39.2 ± 68.4 items/m3, 4100.7 ± 5761.8 items/m3, 243.6 ± 240.2 items/kg, 26.1 ± 21.1 items/individual, and 9.4 ± 8.1 items/individual in ports worldwide, respectively. Asia and the Americas exhibited the highest concentration of MPs in ports across all media. The dominant MP morphotypes included fibers, fragments, films, foams, pellets, and spheres, with sizes frequently between 1 and 1000 μm in biota and water and between 1 and 5 mm in sediments. Port structures and the presence of rivers are key drivers of MP accumulation. MP pollution in ports poses potential ecological and health risks. Among the studied ports, 23% had MP numbers in sediment greater than the predicted no effect concentration (PNEC). The presence of MP in biota and the capability of MP to adsorb other contaminants pose a threat to human health.
Advances in mean-field dynamo theory and applications to astrophysical turbulence

description: Recent advances in mean-field theory are reviewed and applications to the Sun, late-type stars, accretion disks, galaxies, and the early Universe are discussed. We focus particularly on aspects of spatio-temporal nonlocality, which is one of the main insights that emerged from applying the test-field method to magnetic fields of different length and timescales. We also review the status of nonlinear quenching and the relation to magnetic helicity, which is an important observational diagnostic of modern solar dynamo theory. Both solar and some stellar dynamos seem to operate in an intermediate regime that has not yet been possible to model successfully. This regime is bracketed by antisolar-like differential rotation on one end and stellar activity cycles belonging to the superactive stars on the other. The difficulty in modeling this regime may be related to shortcomings in modelling solar/stellar convection. On galactic and extragalactic length scales, the observational constraints are still less stringent and uncertain, but recent advances both in theory and in observations suggest that more conclusive comparisons may soon be possible. The possibility of inversely cascading magnetic helicity throughout all of the early Universe is particularly exciting in explaining the lower limits of magnetic fields on cosmological length scales and the possibility of parity breaking and finite helicity of such a field.

description: The essay provides a critical analysis of a particular use of aIAT test in courtroom. Despite some severe criticism, the aIAT test has already been used in different trials to detect genuine memories. Recently it has been suggested that the aIAT test could be a reliable tool in order to establish what the Italian criminal law defines the psychological element of crime. This essay aims to show that this possible use of the test implies a radical transformation of the juridical categories at stake, both from an ontological and an epistemological point of view.

description: By combining techniques from geometric hashing and structural indexing, we have developed a new representation for recognition of free-form objects from three dimensional data. The representation comprises descriptive spin-images associated with each oriented point on the surface of an object. Constructed using single point bases, spin-images are data level shape descriptions that are used for efficient matching of oriented points. During recognition, scene spin-images are indexed into a stack of model spin-images to establish point correspondences between a model object and scene data. Given oriented point correspondences, a rigid transformation that maps the model into the scene is calculated and then refined and verified using a modified iterative closest point algorithm. Indexing of oriented points bridges the gap between recognition by global properties and feature based recognition without resorting to error-prone segmentation or feature extraction. It requires no knowledge of the initial transformation between model and scene, and it can register fully 3-D data sets as well as recognize objects from partial views with occlusions. We present results showing simultaneous recognition of multiple 3-D anatomical models in range images and range image registration in the context of interior modeling of an industrial facility.
Neuroscience and end-of-life decisions. New anthropological challenges for constitutional law: «Is Human Nature the only science of man»?
Creators: name: Ragone, Giada

Year: 2017
Subjects: Neuroscience; end-of-life decisions; free will; self-determination; human dignity

description: Nowadays, neuroscience permits the unveiling of interior elements of human beings - the perception of pain, the presence of consciousness and even the will - in the absence of external manifestations. Physicians, indeed, seem capable of measuring the true mental state of individuals and their inner world through an electroencephalography or a functional magnetic resonance imaging. This new frontier affects the world of law and places heavy demands for lawyers embroiled in end-of-life matters. The present paper focuses on the use of neuroscientific acquisitions within end-of-life decisions, aiming to highlight two risks embedded in this use: the utmost deference towards science and scientific authority and the maximization of self-determination. The paper will provide, at the beginning, a framework of case law and end-of-life regulatory attempts; it will follow the analysis of the main challenges posed to law by advances in neuroscience. In the latter part of this paper, we will offer food for thought on the role of neuroscience and - in a broader perspective - of science in law.

description: The intrinsic sizes of the field galaxies with I<26 in the Hubble and ESO-NTT Deep Fields are shown as a function of their redshifts and absolute magnitudes using photometric redshifts derived from the multicolor catalogs and are compared with the CDM predictions. Extending to lower luminosities and to higher z our previous analysis performed on the NTT field alone, we find that the distribution of the galaxy disk sizes at different cosmic epochs is within the range predicted by typical CDM models. However, the observed size distribution of faint (M_B>-19) galaxies is skewed with respect to the CDM predictions and an excess of small-size disks (R_d<2 kpc) is already present at z~ 0.5. The excess persists up to z~3 and involves brighter galaxies . Such an excess may be reduced if luminosity-dependent effects, like starburst activity in interacting galaxies, are included in the physical mechanisms governing the star formation history in CDM models.

description: Quasars are the most luminous non-transient objects known and as a result they enable studies of the Universe at the earliest cosmic epochs. Despite extensive efforts, however, the quasar ULAS J1120+0641 at z=7.09 has remained the only one known at z>7 for more than half a decade. Here we report observations of the quasar ULAS J134208.10+092838.61 (hereafter J1342+0928) at redshift z=7.54. This quasar has a bolometric luminosity of 4e13 times the luminosity of the Sun and a black hole mass of 8e8 solar masses. The existence of this supermassive black hole when the Universe was only 690 million years old---just five percent of its current age---reinforces models of early black-hole growth that allow black holes with initial masses of more than about 1e4 solar masses or episodic hyper-Eddington accretion. We see strong evidence of absorption of the spectrum of the quasar redwards of the Lyman alpha emission line (the Gunn-Peterson damping wing), as would be expected if a significant amount (more than 10 per cent) of the hydrogen in the intergalactic medium surrounding J1342+0928 is neutral. We derive a significant fraction of neutral hydrogen, although the exact fraction depends on the modelling. However, even in our most conservative analysis we find a fraction of more than 0.33 (0.11) at 68 per cent (95 per cent) probability, indicating that we are probing well within the reionization epoch of the Universe.

description: Tensor polarization observables (t20, t21 and t22) have been measured in elastic electron-deuteron scattering for six values of momentum transfer between 0.66 and 1.7 (GeV/c)^2. The experiment was performed at the Jefferson Laboratory in Hall C using the electron HMS Spectrometer, a specially designed deuteron magnetic channel and the recoil deuteron polarimeter POLDER. The new data determine to much larger Q^2 the deuteron charge form factors G_C and G_Q. They are in good agreement with relativistic calculations and disagree with pQCD predictions.

description: One of the most important oil crops in the world, sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), is recognized to help in soil phytoremediation. Heavy metal (HM) contamination is one of the most abiotic challenges that may affect the growth and productivity of such an important crop plant. We studied the influence of HM-contaminated soils on metal homeostasis and the potential hypertolerance mechanisms in two sunflower Egyptian cultivars (V120 and S53). Both cultivars accumulated significantly higher cadmium concentrations in their roots compared to their shoots during Cd and Zn/Cd treatments. Higher root concentrations of 121 mg g−1 dry weight (DW) and 125 mg g−1 DW were measured in V120 plants compared to relatively lower values of 111 mg g−1 DW and 105 mg g−1 DW in the roots of S53 plants, respectively. Cadmium contamination significantly upregulated the expression of heavy metal ATPases (HaHMA4) in the shoots of V120 plants. On the other hand, their roots displayed a notable expression of HaHMA3. This study indicates that V120 plants accumulated and sequestered Cd in their roots. Therefore, it is advised to cultivate the V120 cultivar in areas contaminated with heavy metals as it is a promising Cd phytoremediator. The current study confirms and provides new insights into the low Cd and Zn concentration responses of two cultivars of Helianthus annuus as potential HM phytoremediators. HMA3 and HMA4 mediated both root sequestration and reduced root-to-shoot translocation rates. Moreover, high CAT and POX activities may reduce oxidative damage and enhance plant tolerance. The V120 showed higher levels of Cd accumulation in its roots and could be a promising cultivar for the phytoremediation of this heavy metal. This work recalls that Cd tolerance is a trait that may vary among cultivars of the same species and should be taken into consideration in the phytomanagement of heavy metals in contaminated soils.
Se l’uomo è ‘persona’ muta il rapporto tra neuroscienze e diritto penale

description: Neuroscience studies the relationship between brain and human behavior, based on different perspectives, whether to deny or not the existence of free will and therefore the criminal responsibility. Also the problem about the function of the punishment is affected by multiple settings, which are now confused in the multifunctional thesis. However, Italian Constitution presents man as a person, holder of inviolable rights, and is fully satisfied only by the essentially rehabilitative finality, for the resocialization of the guilty. Consequently, the dialogue with neuroscience would present the sanctioning response as an appeal to man's decision-making ability, as being-in-relationship.

description: The article highlights challenges that face the tourism industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The analytical reports identified key negative trends and the impact of the tourism industry on socio-economic development indicators. The analysis of the historical facts of the development of crisis phenomena in the tourism sector provided an opportunity to state the fact of cyclical formation on the basis of biological threats in different regions of the world. In the context of this study, the main problems ofthe development of the tourism industry of Ukraine against the background of the pandemic and economic crisis are highlighted. Roadmap for overcoming the crisis presents innovative tools based on cognitive technologies such as neuromarketing, mobile marketing, blog marketing, event marketing, branding, as well as diversification of tourism entities, proposed to support small and medium-sized businesses operating in the tourism sector that have suffered the most from coronavirus measures. This article summarizes and analyses the successful examples of implementation of these tools for tourism enterprises in Ukraine and the world. It is concluded that the main condition to overcome the crisis, to develop successful tourism destinations, and to create sustainable development is the collaboration between businesses, community, and policymakers.

description: Searches for dark photons provide serendipitous discovery potential for other types of vector particles. We develop a framework for recasting dark photon searches to obtain constraints on more general theories, which includes a data-driven method for determining hadronic decay rates. We demonstrate our approach by deriving constraints on a vector that couples to the $B\!-\!L$ current, a leptophobic $B$ boson that couples directly to baryon number and to leptons via $B$-$γ$ kinetic mixing, and on a vector that mediates a protophobic force. Our approach can easily be generalized to any massive gauge boson with vector couplings to the Standard Model fermions, and software to perform any such recasting is provided at https://gitlab.com/philten/darkcast .
