Chasing Long-duration GRBs with MeerKAT
Creators: name: Laskar, Tanmoy
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Long-duration Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the most energetic explosions in the Universe, are ideal probes of extreme relativistic astrophysics. Observations and modeling of their X-ray to radio afterglow radiation provide crucial clues to understanding particle acceleration in relativistic shocks, explosion and jet launching mechanisms, and the nature of GRB progenitors. Such multi-wavelength studies have previously been hamstrung by the lack of sensitivity of radio facilities. The new synergy between MeerKAT, the VLA, and ALMA has breached a new frontier in GRB studies. I will describe results from five years of MeerKAT observations of GRBs, demonstrating their incredible impact in breaking parameter degeneracies, discovering elusive reverse shock signatures, and uncovering unexpected, new physics in the Universe’s most extreme transients.

description: We present a method to improve the accuracy of a foot-mounted, zero-velocity-aided inertial navigation system (INS) by varying estimator parameters based on a real-time classification of motion type. We train a support vector machine (SVM) classifier using inertial data recorded by a single foot-mounted sensor to differentiate between six motion types (walking, jogging, running, sprinting, crouch-walking, and ladder-climbing) and report mean test classification accuracy of over 90% on a dataset with five different subjects. From these motion types, we select two of the most common (walking and running), and describe a method to compute optimal zero-velocity detection parameters tailored to both a specific user and motion type by maximizing the detector F-score. By combining the motion classifier with a set of optimal detection parameters, we show how we can reduce INS position error during mixed walking and running motion. We evaluate our adaptive system on a total of 5.9 km of indoor pedestrian navigation performed by five different subjects moving along a 130 m path with surveyed ground truth markers.

description: In Australia, we don’t talk much about military partners. Their struggles and contributions are mostly invisible. When we do talk about them, it’s to praise their resilience and capability in providing care for the family left at home.

Yet, partners pay a significant cost for their military connection. It affects their physical, mental and social wellbeing. Some recorded symptoms are closely associated with elevated levels of stress and anxiety, including headaches, weight changes, sleep disturbances and changes to menstrual cycles. Partners have also been shown to have similar rates of mental health problems to soldiers.

description: Several obstacles have to be overcome in order to recognize emotions and affect in daily life. One of them is collecting a large amount of emotionally annotated data necessary to create data-greedy machine learning-based predictive models. Hence, we propose the Emognition system supporting the collection of rich emotional samples in everyday-life scenarios. The system utilizes smart-wearables to record physiological signals unobtrusively and smartphones to gather self-assessments. We have performed a two-week pilot study with 15 participants and devices available on the market to validate the system. The outcomes of the study, alongside the discussion and lessons learned, are provided.

description: A response to an article, "Against Citizen Science" by Philip Mirowski. The rebuts several frequent misunderstandings in Mirowski's essay, such as the questions of "competition" with professionals, qualifications, and other aspects of expertise. The response further provides some historical background on citizen science, and exploring some of the unique aspects of this movement that could make it a powerful tool for scientific research. Specifically, the more loosely structured nature of citizen science gives its practitioners the ability to explore areas that are legitimate topics of study, but tend to fall through the institutional cracks of academic science. Finally, the response concludes with thoughts on how citizen science can help realize the need articulated by President Eisenhower for "an alert and knowledgeable citizenry."

description: University students navigate a world brimming with digital distractions and demands, potentially fueling writing anxiety. This study delves into the intricate interplay between technology use and time management, exploring their combined impact on writing confidence. Employing a mixed-methods design incorporating a quantitative survey and qualitative interviews, we investigated student perceptions of their technology use habits, time management skills, and writing anxiety levels. The survey was administered to 200 undergraduate students from diverse disciplines, followed by semi-structured interviews with a purposeful sample of 20 participants representing varying levels of technology use and time management proficiency. Our analysis revealed a multifaceted relationship between these factors. Students reported frequent social media use, often leading to procrastination and heightened anxiety around writing tasks. Qualitative interviews further illuminated feelings of overwhelm and distraction due to constant digital notifications and multitasking attempts. Conversely, effective time management strategies – such as planning, scheduling, and utilizing focused work periods – emerged as protective factors against anxiety. Students employing these strategies reported experiencing greater control over their digital environment and approaching writing with increased confidence. This study highlights the complex realities of writing in the digital age, where technology can both hinder and empower writing experiences. We advocate for a multi-pronged approach to address writing anxiety. Recommendations include cultivating digital mindfulness practices to reduce distractions, implementing efficient time management techniques to foster control and organization, and incorporating anxiety-reduction strategies to build resilience and self-compassion. By equipping students with these tools, we can empower them to navigate the digital landscape with confidence and flourish in their academic writing endeavors.

description: To date, self-driving experimental wheelchair technologies have been either inexpensive or robust, but not both. Yet, in order to achieve real-world acceptance, both qualities are fundamentally essential. We present a unique approach to achieve inexpensive and robust autonomous and semi-autonomous assistive navigation for existing fielded wheelchairs, of which there are approximately 5 million units in Canada and United States alone. Our prototype wheelchair platform is capable of localization and mapping, as well as robust obstacle avoidance, using only a commodity RGB-D sensor and wheel odometry. As a specific example of the navigation capabilities, we focus on the single most common navigation problem: the traversal of narrow doorways in arbitrary environments. The software we have developed is generalizable to corridor following, desk docking, and other navigation tasks that are either extremely difficult or impossible for people with upper-body mobility impairments.

description: Crocus sativus possesses unique apocarotenoid compounds such as crocins and picrocrocein involved in color, taste, flavor and medicinal benefits of Saffron. Crocus sativus L. corms were treated with Nitric Oxide (NO) and salt. Crocins and picrocrocin contents were determined with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) resulted a significant increase of crocins in treated plants with NO and salt that reveals the stimulating effect of NO in apocarotenoid biosynthesis besides the inductive role of salt stress. This raise can be attributed to expression of CsPDS, CsPSY, CsLYC, CsBCH, and CsCCD2 that were remarkably altered. Treating plants with NO caused more phenol production in oppose to less flavonoid content; however, salinity could increase both. Therefore, NO induced crocins and picrocrocin biosynthesis due to impressing gene expression. This increasing effect was enhanced when salinity was simultaneously imposed.

description: The present study was designed to conduct the bioassay-guided isolation of possible bioactive compound(s) responsible for the antidiabetic action of Xylopia aethiopica (Dunal) A. Rich. fruit. The isolation of compound was guided by α-glycosidase and α-amylase inhibitory activities. Molecular docking with Autodock Vina was used to decipher the mode of interaction and binding affinity of the possible compound(s) with the selected enzymes. A pentacyclic triterpene, oleanolic acid (OA) was isolated from fruit and exhibited significantly (p < 0.05) lower IC50 values (α-amylase: 89.02 ± 1.12 µM, α-glucosidase: 46.05 ± 0.25 µM) than other fractions and the acarbose. Interestingly, OA was found to bind to the α-amylase and α-glucosidase with minimum binding energy values of -0.9 and -1.2 kcal/mol respectively and none of the interactions involved hydrogen bond formation. Data of this study suggest that OA is responsible for the antidiabetic action of X. aethiopica fruit through the inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzyme activities.

Spazi, tempi e armonie. L’identità russa nei suoni della sua poesia, con un esempio lermontoviano
Creators: name: Baselica, Giulia
Publisher: name: RiCOGNIZIONI
Year: 2019

description: Gli spazi, i tempi e le armonie rinviano non soltanto alla musica del verso russo, bensì anche alla sua peculiarità, data dalla commistione di tendenze artistiche, di elementi diversi e non di rado contraddittori, sorta nel succedersi delle epoche e negli immensi spazi dello Stato russo. La peculiare corrispondenza fra la parola poetica e l’armonia sonora si rivela in tutta la sua irriproducibile ricchezza che condanna ogni traduzione a un parziale fallimento. Il presente contributo si propone di tracciare, prendendo avvio dalle osservazioni di Roman Jakobson, un rapido excursus della storia della parola poetica russa, da un lato evidenziando il costante manifestarsi del conflitto armonioso fra canone e rivoluzione– che anima l’opera del poeta, talvolta addirittura una stessa poesia, generando trasformazioni intense e inattese che avvicinano epoche tra loro lontane: così la parola poetica di Aleksandr Puškin risuona nel verso di Anna Achmatova – dall’altro rilevando la riflessione sulla sostanza sonora del verso russo, sulla quale si soffermarono soprattutto i poeti russi del Novecento. Ma l’armoniosa corrispondenza fra il suono della parola poetica e la musica trova espressione nella romanza, solenne celebrazione dell’incontro fra l’opera dei grandi poeti e l’opera dei grandi compositori russi dell’Ottocento. Di questo fecondo incontro verrà ricordato, in particolare, l’esempio di Michail Lermontov.

description: Encouraged by the in vitro potent inhibitory activity on butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) of 95% ethanol extract of Cremastra appendiculata (D. Don) Makino tubers, a further phytochemical investigation on C. appendiculata tubers was conducted, which led to the isolation of a pair of new biphenanthrene atropisomers, namely cremaphenanthrene F-G (1–2). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses and chemical method. It is the first time that biphenanthrene atropisomers have been isolated from the plant kingdom. Compound 1 showed potent BChE inhibitory effect with IC50 value of 14.62 ± 2.15 μM. Compound 2 exhibited weak BChE inhibitory effect with IC50 value of 79.56 ± 0.78 μM. Meanwhile, 1 and 2 were found to be inactive for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition. These findings suggested that compound 1 was a promising selective BChE inhibitor for AD prevention and treatment.
LA POESIA-VITA DI DARIA MENICANTI La vita dello scriba è una «manciata di sillabe e vocali e consonanti e di allitterazioni»
Creators: name: Rabbione, Marta
Publisher: name: RiCOGNIZIONI

description: Poetry - Daria Menicanti’s life. Scribal existence is an «handful of syllables and vowels and consonants and allitterations». This speech means to shed light on a poetic female voice of the XXth century, which has been unfairly forgotten: Daria Menicanti. Pupil of one of the leading figures of the italian critical rationalism, whose name is Antonio Banfi, Menicanti moulded herself at a school called “Statale di Milano” and took part in the cultural and intellectual circle known as the “scuola di Milano”, gravitating toward Banfi’s antidogmatic philosophical thought. Her affinity to this passionate and stimulating cultural environment (whose followers were not only philosophers, but also pedagogists, musicologists, artists, intellectuals, writers and poets), let Menicanti acquire Banfi’s complex lesson and inspired her to transfer his philosophy in most of her poetic works. Poetry always needs to start from magmatic reality, crossing infinite plans, from the chaos of existence where everybody lives. However joys, passions, fears represent only a starting point: as a matter of fact, the poet appoints to eulogise reality in order to transform it through the clarification afforded by reasoning, poetically inflected as a lyrical and philosophical summery, as labor limae, a meticulous work on shape and word, which is - first of all - sound and music. According to Daria Menicanti, by weakening her own past experiences, poetry could reach its goal: adding value in terms of universality, not only from an aestethic point of view, but also from ethical and moral ones.

description: We study string scattering amplitudes by using the deformed cubic string field theory which is equivalent to the string field theory in the proper-time gauge. The four-string scattering amplitudes with three tachyons and an arbitrary string state are calculated. The string field theory yields the string scattering amplitudes evaluated on the world sheet of string scattering whereas the coventional method, based on the first quantized theory brings us the string scattering amplitudes defined on the upper half plane. For the highest spin states, generated by the primary operators, both calculations are in perfect agreement. In this case, the string scattering amplitudes are invariant under the conformal transformation, which maps the string world sheet onto the upper half plane. If the external string states are general massive states, generated by non-primary field operators, we need to take into account carefully the conformal transformation between the world sheet and the upper half plane. We show by an explicit calculation that the string scattering amplitudes calculated by using the deformed cubic string field theory transform into those of the first quantized theory on the upper half plane by the conformal transformation, generated by the Schwarz-Christoffel mapping.

description: Modern society depends on the flow of information over online social networks, and users of popular platforms generate significant behavioral data about themselves and their social ties. However, it remains unclear what fundamental limits exist when using these data to predict the activities and interests of individuals, and to what accuracy such predictions can be made using an individual's social ties. Here we show that 95% of the potential predictive accuracy for an individual is achievable using their social ties only, without requiring that individual's data. We use information theoretic tools to estimate the predictive information within the writings of Twitter users, providing an upper bound on the available predictive information that holds for any predictive or machine learning methods. As few as 8-9 of an individual's contacts are sufficient to obtain predictability comparable to that of the individual alone. Distinct temporal and social effects are visible by measuring information flow along social ties, allowing us to better study the dynamics of online activity. Our results have distinct privacy implications: information is so strongly embedded in a social network that in principle one can profile an individual from their available social ties even when the individual forgoes the platform completely.

description: In 1943 the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (Unrra) was founded, as an agency which had a strategic role in reconstruction processes for most post-second World War European countries; it was called a “UN agency”.That organization acted in many fields: food aid and public health, row material and commodities and fuel provision, reconstruction with the aim of sustaining the economic, industrial and social recovery for the recipient countries. In the same time it developed assistential programs for weak and vulnerable classes, for abandoned children, for refugees and displaced persons (DPs). Most of its activities were closed at 30th June 1947, when Iro (International Refugees Organization) took over the lease. Based on documents issued by Unrra as main source, the article analyses with special attention the most significant dynamics and characteristics of the welfare assistance programs set in place by the agency. Besides health and food programs, the article analyses the policies developed for refugees and DPs not onlyby considering the assistance in camps and assembly centers but also by deepening other aspects, such as repatriation and recovery, as well as professional and rehabilitation courses. Nel 1943 venne fondata la United NationsRelief and Rehabilitation Administration (Unrra), organizzazione delle Nazioni Unite che ricoprì un ruolo strategico nei processi di ricostruzione di molti paesi dell’Europa post-bellica. L’organismo operò sul terreno dell’assistenza alimentare e della salute pubblica, della fornitura di materie prime e carburanti con l’obiettivo di favorire la ripresa economica, industriale e sociale delle nazioni assistite. Parallelamente elaborò programmi di assistenza per le fasce più deboli della popolazione, per l’infanzia abbandonata per i profughi e per le DisplacedPersons (DPs), continuando la sua attività fino al 30 giugno 1947, quando venne sostituita dall’Iro (International Refugees Organization) che ne raccolse il testimone.Prendendo come punto di osservazione privilegiato la documentazione prodotta dall’Unrra, l’articolo si propone di indagare con particolare attenzione le dinamiche e gli aspetti più significativi caratterizzanti i programmi di welfare assistance attivati dall’agenzia. Oltre a quella dei progetti sanitari e alimentari, l’articolo intende fornire un’analisi dettagliata delle politiche attivate in favore di profughi e DPs, soffermandosi non soltanto sull’assistenza fornita in campi e centri di raccolta, ma approfondendo anche altri aspetti come il rimpatrio e il reinserimento, fino ad arrivare ai percorsi di formazione professionale e di riabilitazione.

description: This study examined the inhibition and mechanism of natural product pentagalloyl glucose (PGG) against HepG2 cells and determined the effects of its combination with the clinical chemotherapeutic drug, 5-FU. PGG was found to inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of HepG2 cells, induced G1 arrest and apoptosis in both concentration- and time- dependent manners. The combination of PGG and 5-FU had synergistic effects on reversal the aggressive phenotypes of HepG2 cells, increasing the proportion of Bax/Bcl-2, promoting the activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3, and inducing apoptosis. This combination upregulated P27 and cyclin B1, and downregulated cyclin E1, leading to G1 phase arrest. The combination significantly downregulated MDR1 and LRP1, suggesting the potential to reverse the resistance to 5-FU.

Garbage, narration, reading. Alfred Döblin’s Die Ermordung einer Butterblume and its contexts
Creators: name: Assmann, David-Christopher
Publisher: name: RiCOGNIZIONI
Year: 2019

description: Döblin’s short prose Die Ermordung einer Butterblume follows a poetic of garbage. The text not only has a strong interest in practices of eliminating broken materiality but also participates in textual presentations of garbage as found in contemporary discourses of hygiene. Both aspects taken together make it possible to correlate the multitude of different readings of the short story with its technique. Focused on garbage, the text poetically captures the asyndetic arrangement of both the elements of its syntagma and its cultural paradigms in which it is located.

description: We simulate recoiling black hole trajectories from $z=20$ to $z=0$ in dark matter halos, quantifying how parameter choices affect escape velocities. These choices include the strength of dynamical friction, the presence of stars and gas, the accelerating expansion of the universe (Hubble acceleration), host halo accretion and motion, and seed black hole mass. $Λ$CDM halo accretion increases escape velocities by up to 0.6 dex and significantly shortens return timescales compared to non-accreting cases. Other parameters change orbit damping rates but have subdominant effects on escape velocities; dynamical friction is weak at halo escape velocities, even for extreme parameter values. We present formulae for black hole escape velocities as a function of host halo mass and redshift. Finally, we discuss how these findings affect black hole mass assembly as well as minimum stellar and halo masses necessary to retain supermassive black holes.

LA RELIGIONE COME PRETESTO: LE CAUSE ECONOMICHE, SOCIALI E POLITICHE DELLE GUERRE E DEI CONFLITTI NEL SUBCONTINENTE INDIANO

description: Communal strife is one of the most noteworthy political phenomenon in India at present. Since the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) return to power in 2014 India’s political climate worsened: attacks on religious minorities, in particular Muslims, and low caste members are the order of the day. At the same time, the relations between India and Pakistan are at one of their most critical stages: in February 2019 indeed a fifth Indo-Pakistani war almost broke out and thereafter the relations between the two countries are very tense. Communalism in India dates back to the colonial times. Subsequent failures to resolve the problem of an increasing enmity between Hindu and Muslim community led to India’s partition and to recurrent riots within the country. Communalism is often ascribed to religious causes, whereas religion is just a powerful mobilization tool. This essay aims to prove that the causes of apparently religious conflicts are economic, social and political. This applies in particular to India, as a strongly multiethnic country, but to any other multiethnic context as well. In order to fight communalism, its real causes should be addressed.
