Dalla pantomima classica al Ballet d'action
Creators: name: Pagnini, Caterina
Publisher: name: Mantichora. Italian Journal of Performance Studies
Year: 2020

description: In the eighteenth century the neoclassical reflection on the artwork as an imitation of nature translates into the necessity of a radical reform for the choreutical art, which must recover a dramaturgical meaning. The practical model to follow for an imitative reconsideration of the dance is the ancient pantomime, the perfect example of the union between poetry, dance and music, aspiring to represent on scene a complete story and the emotions of the characters; the philosophical model which stands at the basis of the debate is the dialogical treatise on dance by Luciano di Samosata. The ancient reflection on the saltatio represents the start point for the neoclassical re-elaboration of the ballet d’action codified by Franz Anton Hilverding, Gasparo Angiolini and Jean-Georges Noverre.

description: We show explicitly how a strongly coupled fixed point can be constructed in scalar $gφ^4$ theory from the solutions to a non-linear eigenvalue problem. The fixed point exists only for $d< 4$, is unstable and characterized by $ν=2/d$ (correlation length exponent), $η=1/2-d/8$ (anomalous dimension). For $d=2$, these exponents reproduce to those of the Ising model which can be understood from the codimension of the critical point. At this fixed point, $φ^{2i}$ terms with $i>2$ are all irrelevant. The testable prediction of this fixed point is that the specific heat exponent vanishes. 2d critical Mott systems are well described by this new fixed point.

L'astragalismo antico e i parallelismi in Grecia moderna: il gioco del Vezyris e altri riti ludici

description: I devote my attention to Greek ancient plays by astragals, the knuckle-bones of animals used for games, and their parallels in Modern Greek folk-lore. These ludic rituals are known since Homeric epics and they were very well spread during Antiquity and Byzantine times, as archaeological founds confirm. Plays by astragals had peculiar undertones with respect to fate and chance and they were also linked with divinatory systems as randomizing agents. In fact, the vizier play (βεζύρης) is known in Modern times in Greece and in Southern Italy. It is worthy to be analyzed in comparison with astragalism in classical times as well as with contemporary plays.

description: Background: The Internet has successfully been used for patient-oriented survey research. Internet-based translational research may also be possible. Objective: Our aim was to study the feasibility of collecting biospecimens from CCFA Partners, an Internet-based inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) cohort. Methods: From August 20, 2013, to January 4, 2014, we randomly sampled 412 participants, plus 179 from a prior validation study, and invited them to contribute a biospecimen. Participants were randomized to type (blood, saliva), incentive (none, US $20, or US $50), and collection method for blood. The first 82 contributors were also invited to contribute stool. We used descriptive statistics and t tests for comparisons. Results: Of the 591 participants, 239 (40.4%) indicated interest and 171 (28.9%) contributed a biospecimen. Validation study participants were more likely to contribute than randomly selected participants (44% versus 23%, P<.001). The return rate for saliva was higher than blood collected by mobile phlebotomist and at doctors offices (38%, 31%, and 17% respectively, P<.001). For saliva, incentives were associated with higher return rates (43-44% versus 26%, P=.04); 61% contributed stool. Fourteen IBD-Associated single nucleotide polymorphisms were genotyped, and risk allele frequencies were comparable to other large IBD populations. Bacterial DNA was successfully extracted from stool samples and was of sufficient quality to permit quantitative polymerase chain reaction for total bacteria. Conclusions: Participants are willing to contribute and it is feasible to collect biospecimens from an Internet-based IBD cohort. Home saliva kits yielded the highest return rate, though mobile phlebotomy was also effective. All samples were sufficient for genetic testing. These data support the feasibility of developing a centralized collection of biospecimens from this cohort to facilitate IBD translational studies.

La parola che significa-ed-è: riflessioni sulla natura intransitiva del linguaggio poetico

Publisher: name: Mantichora. Italian Journal of Performance Studies
Year: 2020

description: The aim of the paper is to reflect on the ‘auto-referential’ (or ‘auto-telic’) character of the poetical language. But the paradigma of an absolute auto-referentiality of the word finds its best illustration in the so-called «sacred languages»: the paper examines in particular the case of Psalm 119, as an impressive example of a text whose referential «content» (the divine Law) coincides at all with the text itself. In more philosophical terms, the linguistic intention of the biblical text implies the radical identity of language and reality: as Plato suggests in the core level of his Cratylus.

disaster risk reduction

description: Disasters are inherently complex with wide-ranging and cascading impacts. The exponential growth in data generated daily, coupled with the complex nature of disasters, means we are hitting the limits of humans’ capacity to fully exploit all the data available for disaster risk reduction (DRR). This can be addressed with well-designed, pretrained Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms that can analyse large, complex datasets and fuse heterogeneous data. However, machine-readable, semantically linked data is a precursor for the use of AI in DRR. Nations possessing ample resources and technical proficiency are better positioned to leverage DRR data effectively, thereby potentially creating disparities in the accessibility and application of DRR data. Recent advances in technology - particularly remote sensing data, which is income-agnostic and provides global coverage - provide an opportunity to reduce DRR data gaps. Global DRR institutions should collaborate proactively with countries and regional institutions to ensure the provision of Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) and open DRR data. This could help bridge any historical or emergent DRR data inequalities. This deliverable explores the use of vocabularies in the DRR domain and how controlled vocabularies coupled with ontologies can enhance the semantic value of DRR data thereby improving interoperability. Enhancing semantic interoperability would result in improved collaboration and communication within the DRR domain and facilitate collaborations with other scientific domains. The final sections of this report provide examples of the use of remote sensing data and AI for DRR. We hope that the ideas and suggested actions in this report can be used to transform raw DRR data to valuable insights and decisions that produce tangible reductions in the impact of disasters worldwide.

description: We discuss a simple extension of the Ho and Lee model with generic time-dependent drift in which: 1) we compute bond prices analytically; 2) the yield curve is sensible and the asymptotic yield is positive; and 3) our analytical solution provides a clean and simple way of separating volatility from the drift in the short-rate process. Our extension amounts to introducing one or two reflecting barriers for the underlying Brownian motion (as opposed to the short-rate), which allows to have more realistic time-dependent drift (as opposed to constant drift). In our model the spectrum -- or, roughly, the set of short-rate values contributing to bond and other claim prices -- is discrete and positive. We discuss how to calibrate our model using empirical yield data by fitting three parameters and then read off the time-dependent drift.

Ricreare il mito: Odyssey di Robert Wilson

description: The essay examines the staging of Odyssey directed by Robert Wilson, analyzing some passages of the structural metamorphosis suffered by Homer's poem up to the review of Armitage that inspires the performance - very successful - staged for the first time in October 2012 at the National Theater of Greece, then debuting at the Piccolo Teatro in Milan in April 2013 and then replicating its presence, also in Milan, on the occasion of Expo 2015. In the case of Odyssey, in fact, the image, the sound, event the actor's bodies no longer constitutes the perfect pattern on which the significance of the word is inserted: the very word becomes the setting for a world of feelings that lives again in the lightness of an ancient fable, fossil of an age that is disappeared, but is recreated in the audience's imagination.

Magnetic end-states in a strongly-interacting one-dimensional topological Kondo insulator

description: Topological Kondo insulators are strongly correlated materials, where itinerant electrons hybridize with localized spins giving rise to a topologically non-trivial band structure. Here we use non-perturbative bosonization and renormalization group techniques to study theoretically a one-dimensional topological Kondo insulator. It is described as a Kondo-Heisenberg model where the Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain is coupled to a Hubbard chain through a Kondo exchange interaction in the p-wave channel - a strongly correlated version of the prototypical Tamm-Shockley model. We derive and solve renormalization group equations at two-loop order in the Kondo parameter, and find that, at half-filling, the charge degrees of freedom in the Hubbard chain acquire a Mott gap, even in the case of a non-interacting conduction band (Hubbard parameter $U=0$). Furthermore, at low enough temperatures, the system maps onto a spin-1/2 ladder with local ferromagnetic interactions along the rungs, effectively locking the spin degrees of freedom into a spin-$1$ chain with frozen charge degrees of freedom. This structure behaves as a spin-1 Haldane chain, a prototypical interacting topological spin model, and features two magnetic spin-$1/2$ end states for chains with open boundary conditions. Our analysis allows to derive an insightful connection between topological Kondo insulators in one spatial dimension and the well-known physics of the Haldane chain, showing that the ground state of the former is qualitatively different from the predictions of the naive mean-field theory.

description: The literature on son preference postulates a strong link between marriage expenditures, dowry practices, and son preference, leading to the elimination of female foetuses and important discriminatory practices against girls. This statement, however, has not, as far as I know, been tested empirically using a representative sample of the Indian population. Using data from the India Human Development Survey (IHDS) conducted in 2005, this paper shows that marriage expenditures by the bride’s family and dowry payments reduce stated son preference, ceteris paribus, supporting the idea that the bride’s family’s marriage expenditures and dowries are Veblen goods. The results, therefore, support the sankritisation theory, as expensive marriage practices are used to enhance social status. This result is robust to a series of robustness check, including the use of revealed son preference. The main drivers behind son preference appear to be exogamy and the need for old age support. Other important factors are religious beliefs and access to modern information (education and media). Finally, this article also shows that lavish marriage expenditures, for both groom’s and bride’s family, reduce fertility.

description: We evaluate and discuss the impact of meson-exchange currents (MECs) on charged-current quasielastic neutrino cross sections. We consider the nuclear transverse response arising from two-particle two-hole states excited by the action of electromagnetic, purely isovector meson-exchange currents in a fully relativistic framework based on the work by the Torino Collaboration [A. D. Pace, M. Nardi, W. M. Alberico, T. W. Donnelly, and A. Molinari, Nucl. Phys. A726, 303 (2003)]. An accurate parametrization of this MEC response as a function of the momentum and energy transfers involved is presented. Results of neutrino-nucleus cross sections using this MEC parametrization together with a recent scaling approach for the one-particle one-hole contributions (named SuSAv2) are compared with experimental data (MiniBooNE, MINERvA, NOMAD and T2K Collaborations).

description: A superintegrable, discrete model of the quantum isotropic oscillator in two-dimensions is introduced. The system is defined on the regular, infinite-dimensional $\mathbb{N}\times \mathbb{N}$ lattice. It is governed by a Hamiltonian expressed as a seven-point difference operator involving three parameters. The exact solutions of the model are given in terms of the two-variable Meixner polynomials orthogonal with respect to the negative trinomial distribution. The constants of motion of the system are constructed using the raising and lowering operators for these polynomials. They are shown to generate an $\mathfrak{su}(2)$ invariance algebra. The two-variable Meixner polynomials are seen to support irreducible representations of this algebra. In the continuum limit, where the lattice constant tends to zero, the standard isotropic quantum oscillator in two dimensions is recovered. The limit process from the two-variable Meixner polynomials to a product of two Hermite polynomials is carried out by involving the bivariate Charlier polynomials.

description: Based on the mutualism theory, I investigated the longitudinal reciprocal relations among reading, executive function, and social emotional skills in students from Grades 2 to 5 based on the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010–2011 dataset. Specifically, I addressed several important gaps in the mutualism literature: using latent factors to represent executive function and social emotional skills, using latent growth modeling with structured residuals to tease out between- and within-person effects, and examining the sample effects with a general population sample, students with reading difficulties, and high-performing students. Results showed that 1) at within-person level, there were longitudinal reciprocal relations between reading and executive function in high-performing students such that with development the contribution from executive function to reading became stronger, while the contribution from reading to executive function stayed the same; 2) no longitudinal reciprocal relations between reading and social emotional skills were found in any of the three groups; and 3) these patterns of results stayed the same even when controlling for socioeconomic status. These results, taken together, suggest the heterogeneous nature of the mutualism theory. Mutualism between executive function and reading may be mostly driven by the learning/practicing effects of reading/schooling, not by socioeconomic status.

description: The main objective of this study was to derive biometric models for prediction of stem, branch, leaf
and total aboveground biomass of juvenile Robinia pseudoacacia L. trees from easily measurable tree and
stand characteristics.
A two-stage fitting procedure and a set of predefined goodness-of-fit criteria for development of
allometric relationships were followed. Linear regression on the log-transformed equation forms was used
and the ratio correction for bias was applied to the back-transformed data. We used data from 45 one- to
six-year-old trees and we developed two systems of additive, compatible generic equations for aboveground
biomass of black locust.
A number of model formulations with one and two independent variables was examined, which
involved breast height tree diameter and total tree or mean stand height as predictors of dry biomass weight
of the aboveground tree components. Model system M1 employs the two principal tree dimensions total
height and breast height diameter, while system M2 is based on mean stand height and tree diameter. The
models are applicable to estimate the aboveground biomass of juvenile R. pseudoacacia trees of diameter up
to 9 cm and total height up to 9 m

description: The Author summarizes the various physical methods for enhancing the transdermal penetration of pharmaceuticals, and sonophoresis use low frequency effectively in enhancing drug transportation. Sonophoresis also promotes absorption of lower molecular weight drugs through the skin which enables faster and safer transfer to the blood stream. These are some advantages of sonophoresis which include its noninvasive nature, little damage to the skin, simple operation, high universality, and suitability for almost all drugs. Low-intensity ultrasound can use its mechanical, thermal, and broader physical, chemical, and biochemical effects to treat disease or injury without damaging, destroying, or degenerating human tissue. Ultrasound travels through tissues in the body, several physical effects can be used to trigger drug transdermal delivery directly or in combination with ultrasound to trigger drug release mediated by biomaterials.

Sherry Linton-Massiah, Anthony Maldonado, Sydney Scott, Elizabeth Stromberg Shumate, Aishwarya Venkatesh: INCREASING ACCESS TO QUALITY EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION FOR MINORITY CHILDREN IN DURHAM COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA

The purpose of this paper is to examine preschool education as a social determinant of health (SDOH). Healthy People 2030 recognizes education as a key component of health outcomes, and outlines access to high quality preschool education as a strategy to improving short and long-term health and overall wellness outcomes. (Social Determinants of Health - Healthy People 2030 | health.gov., n.d.). This paper explores challenges young, minority students in Durham County, North Carolina are facing in accessing high-quality early childhood education. The paper recommends an evidence-based program to mitigate these challenges. The barriers discussed include higher prevalence of poverty, lack of geographic accessibility, and non-traditional hours of operations that accommodate unpredictable work schedules. All Our Kin is identified as the program most aligned with the assets while addressing the needs of the population of interest. (Creating the Conditions for Family Child Care to Thrive, 2019). The paper recommends diversifying the modalities of licensed high quality preschool and early child care providers in Durham County by increasing access to licensed family child care. This change to the Durham County educational system, is intended to increase access to quality early childhood education and decrease related inequities faced by young, minority children.

Spacetime algebra as a powerful tool for electromagnetism

description: We present a comprehensive introduction to spacetime algebra that emphasizes its practicality and power as a tool for the study of electromagnetism. We carefully develop this natural (Clifford) algebra of the Minkowski spacetime geometry, with a particular focus on its intrinsic (and often overlooked) complex structure. Notably, the scalar imaginary that appears throughout the electromagnetic theory properly corresponds to the unit 4-volume of spacetime itself, and thus has physical meaning. The electric and magnetic fields are combined into a single complex and frame-independent bivector field, which generalizes the Riemann-Silberstein complex vector that has recently resurfaced in studies of the single photon wavefunction. The complex structure of spacetime also underpins the emergence of electromagnetic waves, circular polarizations, the normal variables for canonical quantization, the distinction between electric and magnetic charge, complex spinor representations of Lorentz transformations, and the dual (electric-magnetic field exchange) symmetry that produces helicity conservation in vacuum fields. This latter symmetry manifests as an arbitrary global phase of the complex field, motivating the use of a complex vector potential, along with an associated transverse and gauge-invariant bivector potential, as well as complex (bivector and scalar) Hertz potentials. Our detailed treatment aims to encourage the use of spacetime algebra as a readily available and mature extension to existing vector calculus and tensor methods that can greatly simplify the analysis of fundamentally relativistic objects like the electromagnetic field.

description: Τhis present thesis overviews the ordinance of the Greek Urban Planning Implementation Act, in accordance with the provisions of the Law No 1337/1983 as exists today, after being modified and supplemented by later laws, as the first and foremost part, of that legislation, which activates all the mechanisms and the deed changes that take place in the properties it affects into the ambit of the urban planning process (housing). Next, this thesis analyzes the procedure of registering the Urban Planning Implementation Act into the public books of the National Land Registry, and its registration effects on cadastral records during the stage of cadastral registration and initial registration stage. Finally, this thesis lists a number of legal issues that arise because of the registrations in the public records of the first cadastral records, from the cadastral tables, which were drawn up at the end the process of land registration in a certain area and registration of in the Operating Land Registry as well as also the ways of dealing with these legal issues based on the existing legislation governing the initial cadastral records (law 2664/1998).
Jolanda Insana: una lingua per scuotere le menti

description: In the following essay, we explore many sources of the poetic language of Jolanda Insana, considered one of the most fascinating poetic voices of the contemporary literary landscape, focusing in particular on the use of the Sicilian dialect. The different sources from which the author's creativity draws her compositional methods allow us to fully investigate some of the core topics that characterize her literary production, which are in some cases difficult to interpret. The analysis thus conducted is key to a better understanding of the purpose of Insana's verses, to the identification of some of the authors who have most influenced her writing, and to the outlining of the poetics of this eclectic author. This study places Insana in the tradition of plurilingualism, which takes origin from Dante, and shows the contamination of her poetry with the theatrical genre.

The purpose of this paper is to examine preschool education as a social determinant of health (SDOH). Healthy People 2030 recognizes education as a key component of health outcomes, and outlines access to high quality preschool education as a strategy to improving short and long-term health and overall wellness outcomes. (Social Determinants of Health - Healthy People 2030 | health.gov., n.d.). This paper explores challenges young, minority students in Durham County, North Carolina are facing in accessing high-quality early childhood education. The paper recommends an evidence-based program to mitigate these challenges. The barriers discussed include higher prevalence of poverty, lack of geographic accessibility, and non-traditional hours of operations that accommodate unpredictable work schedules. All Our Kin is identified as the program most aligned with the assets while addressing the needs of the population of interest. (Creating the Conditions for Family Child Care to Thrive, 2019). The paper recommends diversifying the modalities of licensed high quality preschool and early child care providers in Durham County by increasing access to licensed family child care. This change to the Durham County educational system, is intended to increase access to quality early childhood education and decrease related inequities faced by young, minority children.

description: The in vitro antifungal activity of extracts obtained from 14 medicinal plants of the mongolian flora were investigated by measuring their minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) against fungi cause of cutaneous diseases such as Candida species, dermatophytes and Malassezia furfur. Among the species examined, Stellaria dichotoma L., Scutellaria scordifolia L. Aquilegia sibirica Fisch. Et Schrenk. and Hyoscyamus niger L. extracts demonstrated antifungal activity against all studied fungi. In particular, S. scordifolia L. methanol extract, obtained at room temperature, showed the best activity against Candida spp., Malassezia furfur and dermatophytes with GMMIC50 values of 22 µg/mL, 64 µg/mL and 32 µg/mL, respectively. The flavones, luteolin and apigenin, identified in S. scordifolia extracts, and rutin identified in S. dichotoma and Hyoscyamus niger L. extracts, could be responsible of the observed antifungal activity.
Objective measures of binaural interaction using interaural phase differences

description: Binaural interaction in the auditory system occurs when a sound is presented to both ears and the nervous system generates activity in response to this stimulation. In the present study, the neural responses generated by interaural phase differences (IPDs) were investigated using auditory evoked potentials (AEPs). The AEP paradigms were designed to observe the neural responses from subcortical (Experiment 1) and cortical (Experiment 2) regions. In addition to the physiological measures, behavioral (psychophysical) responses were obtained using comparable stimuli to reveal a possible perceptual correlate. The first experiment focused on subcortical responses. Two onset-dependent responses (auditory brainstem response & middle latency response) and two steady-state responses (fine-structure and envelope frequency following response) were observed in multiple IPD conditions. The results of the first experiment indicated that the amplitude of the responses decreased modestly as the IPD increased. However, compared to the in-phase condition, only the maximal IPD achieved statistical significance. The second experiment concentrated on the cortical response. Specifically, the P1-N1-P2 responses [acoustic change complex (ACC)] were analyzed. The amplitude of the ACC increased as the IPD increased. Additionally, the ACC amplitudes showed a significant positive correlation with the psychophysical measures. Taken together, the two experiments suggest that the cortical response, and the ACC in particular, may be used as a biomarker for binaural interaction.

Finding an oasis in the desert : a food desert analysis of future light rail stops and their solutions
Creators: name: Randall, Philip
Publisher: name: The University of Texas at Austin
Year: 2022
Subjects: Food deserts

description: In 2020 Austin residents voted in favor of a comprehensive rail system which will have major impact on the lives of people in Austin. Improvements in transportation create greater accessibility for most vulnerable communities in employment, recreation, and food access in the spaces in proximity to the stops. For this report, I examined food access in the areas in proximity to the proposed stops. This research conducted a food desert analysis of specific stops examining the existing food access and demographic/socioeconomic characteristics to understand not only food access in the area but also characteristics of who reside in these spaces. Once these areas were identified as having inadequate food access solutions to improve food access were selected based on the current conditions of the area.

«La strada continua». Intervista a Mimmo Cuticchio

description: We met Mimmo Cuticchio in Palermo, via Bara all’Olivella, in a bright Sicilian morning, herald of spring and we carried on a conversation, begun, in 2015, during Universiteatrali decade’s celebration. There is really no reason to add much more to this introduction, because everybody knows the crucial role played by Cuticchio in the contemporary Italian theatre and, most of all, how he has succeeded in reviving tradition of “cunto”. His wise contribution focuses on a paradox, concerning the ineffable nature of this tradition. Actually, this is the mastery’s key we are looking for and it is no coincidence that we found it in Cuticchio’s work.
