description: Family Onchidiidae Rafinesque, 1815
Remark. Onchidiidae are found in different habitats, including mangroves and some of them are probably mangrove-associated species (e.g. Dayrat 2009). Due to lack of species level (and sometimes even genus level) identifications, we did not assess their relationships to mangrove vegetation. In figure 9G an aggregation of onchidiid molluscs in Nha Phu is illustrated.

description: Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is a demanding cancer treatment for HSCT recipients and their caregivers. The thesis objectives were to (a) critically review the literature evaluating the psychosocial impact of being a caregiver to a HSCT patient; (b) evaluate a conceptual framework to examine the individual and dyadic experience of HSCT patients and their caregivers; and (c) gain a better understanding of how couples navigate the HSCT. Study 1 was a comprehensive literature review that demonstrated that caregiver distress is highest pre-HSCT and predictors of caregiver distress include female gender, elevated subjective burden, and higher patient symptom distress. This study also highlighted the need for theoretically driven research that examines reciprocal relationships between HSCT dyads. Study 2 proposed a conceptual model based on equity theory to examine the individual and dyadic experience of HSCT dyads that includes feelings of inequity, patient self-perceived burden (SPB), caregiver burden and distress. A cohort study with 72 HSCT patient-spousal caregiver dyads was conducted pre-HSCT. Questionnaire data was subjected to path analysis. Consistent with the model, pre-HSCT caregiver burden mediated the relationship between caregiver underbenefit and caregiver distress. Patient overbenefit was related to patient SPB, patient distress, and caregiver burden. Overall, the theoretical framework appeared to describe patient and caregivers individual experience of distress pre-HSCT, but did not as clearly encompass the dyadic experience of distress. Study 3 was a qualitative study of patient-caregiver dyads to gain insight on how some successfully navigate, whereas others have difficulties. One year post-HSCT five patient-caregiver dyads were interviewed separately (N =10). Five themes emerged. While all couples adopted patient and caregiver roles, four demonstrated effective adaptation whereas one couple experienced difficulties. Ongoing physical limitations, lack of mutual empathy and relational awareness, limited social support, and poor communication were associated with difficulty adjusting to the HSCT. This thesis provides a greater appreciation of the psychosocial challenges the patients and caregivers are experiencing and highlights that the experience of HSCT recipients and caregivers is unique and intertwined. Importantly, this thesis identifies current knowledge gaps in care of HSCT dyad, discusses its clinical implications and suggests avenues for future research.

description: The term “Augmented Reality” (AR) is used to define integrated hardware and software technologies, designed to mix video footage taken by a camera with three-dimensional virtual objects. The result is a mix between real reality and virtual reality. Many applications of this technology are beingdeveloped for use in the field of cultural heritage and are being introduced for use in specialized contexts such as in certain phases of the diagnostic process or fruition. The basic algorithmic approach for augmented reality, starts from a video stream analysis that incorporates a real scene. Within the same scene are scattered a set of known geometric images called“markers”. When the software module in charge of the video flow analysis identifies a marker within the scene, it tries to position it in relation to a reference system integral with the chamber which performs the video shoot, and then replaces it in real time, overlapping with a 3D model achieved through a virtual modeling software. The aim of this article is to evaluate the state of the art augmented reality and then examine several experiments involving its application to cultural heritage.

description: Abstract Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) is currently evolving as an effective and safe therapeutic tool in the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). However, already established rTMS treatment paradigms are rather time-consuming. With theta burst stimulation (TBS), a patterned form of rTMS, treatment time can be substantially reduced. Pilot studies and a randomized controlled trial (RCT) demonstrate non-inferiority of TBS to 10 Hz rTMS and support a wider use in MDD. Still, data from placebo-controlled multicenter RCTs are lacking. In this placebo-controlled multicenter study, 236 patients with MDD will be randomized to either intermittent TBS (iTBS) to the left and continuous TBS (cTBS) to the right dlPFC or bilateral sham stimulation (1:1 ratio). The treatment will be performed with 80% resting motor threshold intensity over six consecutive weeks (30 sessions). The primary outcome is the treatment response rate (Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale reduction ≥ 50%). The aim of the study is to confirm the superiority of active bilateral TBS compared to placebo treatment. In two satellite studies, we intend to identify possible MRI-based and (epi-)genetic predictors of responsiveness to TBS therapy. Positive results will support the clinical use of bilateral TBS as an advantageous, efficient, and well-tolerated treatment and pave the way for further individualization of MDD therapy. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04392947).

Changing families in Australia, 1901-2001

description: In order to understand where the family is heading, it helps to know whence it has come. This article maps out the dimensions of family change over the past one hundred years in Australia. In particular it focuses upon the changing structure of households. The author notes that in the public sphere there is a history of 'moral panics' and anxieties around the family, and he discusses the sense that family structure 'has gone a full circle - from diverse families, to nuclear families, and back to diverse families again - a view that emphasises the ebb and flow of family relationships'. In conclusion, the author comments that, while the moral panic around the family seems less shrill now than was the case in the 1970s and the 1980s, 'dramatic developments in biotechnology may unleash a new wave of family change and controversy. There will certainly be new anxieties and moral panics concerning the future of the family'.

description: RTMI ’12 – the fourth incarnation of the seminar Research Trends in Media Informatics – offers a program full of exciting papers covering important research topics in Media Informatics. At this year’s seminars the papers concentrate on three main topics: security and privacy, HCI, and novel networking technologies and paradigms. Mobile Internet access and wireless communications see an increasing adoption, as do cloud services and cloud storage. Security research is essential to ensure that mobile clients can securely communicate with the cloud. The papers in the security and privacy session highlight new protocols for authenticating clients and authorizing data access, discuss security issues in our mobile communication systems, and address the security and privacy challenges posed by the future Internet of Things. Building user interfaces that convey important information but do not distract drivers is key for automotive HMI systems. The first paper gives an overview of the requirements that driver distraction avoidance poses on car interfaces. As a contrast, the second paper looks at the emerging trend of gamification. The integration of game elements in the user experience can lead to stronger and longer user engagement. The trend towards miniaturization of devices and the increasing number of gadgets we carry around introduces the potential of distributed and self-organizing sensor networks. The papers in the networking technologies session discuss two types of such networks that hold great potential. Body area networks connect devices and sensors on the human body to enable health monitoring with higher precision. Flying ad-hoc networks connect swarms of self-organizing micro air vehicles (MAVs) for different purposes.
Equalization algorithms for ADSL DMT system.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Discrete Multitone can achieve high capacity over Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Lines by dividing the transmission band into a number of subchannels and thus partially compensating for the nonideal channel response. Performance improvements can be obtained by judiciously designing a time domain equalizer, a frequency domain equalizer, and by suitable selection of a cyclic prefix. The transceiver front-end filter selection is also very important. In this thesis, we discuss the time domain equalizer design algorithms and the filter selection. The system performance with different filters is analyzed based on computer simulations. We then theoretically analyze the effects of the remaining distortion on the system performance and verify the results by simulations. We propose an optimized frequency domain equalizer for discrete multitone systems. Our simulation results show that the achievable bit rate over a given loop length is significantly increased with the new frequency domain equalizer design.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Chemical.

description: The objective of this study is to improve the compatibility of nanoparticles in composite materials. This was achieved by developing a method in which an inorganic precursor contained in a stable water/oil (W/O) emulsion was mixed with a polymer solution containing a second inorganic precursor. Inorganic polymerization occurred in the aqueous domain of the W/O emulsion. The in-situ synthesis of the precursor was performed in order to enhance the nanoscale compatibility between the inorganic material and polymer. This technique produced materials which we have named: emulsion polymerized mixed matrix (EPMM) materials. A series of poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO)-based organic-inorganic membranes were prepared by employing this method. A W/O emulsion containing aluminium hydroxonitrate was added to a PPO solution containing tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). Droplet sizes in the W/O emulsions, observed by dynamic light scattering (DLS) ranged from 254 to 344 nm. Scanning electron micrography (SEM), electron diffractive X-Ray (EDX), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and gas permeation and separation measurements were carried out to characterize the EPMM membranes. SEM indicated the presence of inorganic particles in the PPO matrix, and EDX measurements showed the embedded particles contained Al and Si elements, which confirmed the hydrolysis and condensation of TEOS with aluminium hydroxonitrate. DSC analysis showed a decrease in the glass transition of the EPMM membranes with increasing of TEOS loading. The fractional free volume of the EPMM membranes was predicted through the measurement of the heat capacity jump at the glass transition temperature. The integrity of the EPMM membranes was confirmed in gas separation test with air, in which the ideal selectivity for O2/N2 was observed to be as high as 4.56.
Evaluating the Causal Relations between the Kaya Identity Index and ODIAC-Based Fossil Fuel CO2 Flux

description: The Kaya identity is a powerful index displaying the influence of individual carbon dioxide (CO2) sources on CO2 emissions. The sources are disaggregated into representative factors such as population, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, energy intensity of the GDP, and carbon footprint of energy. However, the Kaya identity has limitations as it is merely an accounting equation and does not allow for an examination of the hidden causalities among the factors. Analyzing the causal relationships between the individual Kaya identity factors and their respective subcomponents is necessary to identify the real and relevant drivers of CO2 emissions. In this study we evaluated these causal relationships by conducting a parallel multiple mediation analysis, whereby we used the fossil fuel CO2 flux based on the Open-Source Data Inventory of Anthropogenic CO2 emissions (ODIAC). We found out that the indirect effects from the decomposed variables on the CO2 flux are significant. However, the Kaya identity factors show neither strong nor even significant mediating effects. This demonstrates that the influence individual Kaya identity factors have on CO2 directly emitted to the atmosphere is not primarily due to changes in their input factors, namely the decomposed variables.

description: Context. NGC 6558 is a bulge globular cluster with a blue horizontal branch (BHB), combined with a metallicity of [Fe/H] approximate to -1.0. It is similar to HP 1 and NGC 6522, which could be among the oldest objects in the Galaxy. Element abundances in these clusters could reveal the nature of the first supernovae. Aims. We aim to carry out detailed spectroscopic analysis for four red giants of NGC 6558, in order to derive the abundances of the light elements C, N, O, Na, Al, the alpha-elements Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, and the heavy elements Y, Ba, and Eu. Methods. High-resolution spectra of four stars with FLAMES-UVES at VLT UT2-Kueyen were analysed. Spectroscopic parameter-derivation was based on excitation and ionization equilibrium of Fe I and Fe II. Results. This analysis results in a metallicity of [Fe/H] = -1.17 +/- 0.10 for NGC 6558. We find the expected alpha-element enhancements in O and Mg with [O/Fe] = +0.40, [Mg/Fe] = +0.33, and low enhancements in Si and Ca. Ti has a moderate enhancement of [Ti/Fe] = +0.22. The r-element Eu appears very enhanced with a mean value of [Eu/Fe] = +0.63. The first peak s-elements Y and Sr are also enhanced, these results have however to be treated with caution, given the uncertainties in the continuum definition; the use of neutral species (Sr I, Y I), instead of the dominant ionized species is another source of uncertainty. Ba appears to have a solar abundance ratio relative to Fe. Conclusions. NGC 6558 shows an abundance pattern that could be typical of the oldest inner bulge globular clusters, together with the pattern in the similar clusters NGC 6522 and HP 1. They show low abundances of the odd-Z elements Na and Al, and of the explosive nucleosynthesis alpha-elements Si, Ca, and Ti. The hydrostatic burning alpha-elements O and Mg are normally enhanced as expected in old stars enriched with yields from core-collapse supernovae, and the iron-peak elements Mn, Cu, Zn show low abundances, which is expected for Mn and Cu, but not for Zn. Finally, the cluster trio NGC 6558, NGC 6522, and HP 1 have relatively high abundances of first-peak heavy elements, variable second-peak element Ba, and the r-element Eu is enhanced. The latter is particularly high in NGC 6558.

description: HIV infection leads to a profound T cell dysfunction well before the clinical onset of AIDS. This study investigated whether alterations in the Janus kinase (Jak)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from HIV-infected patients induced by the growth promoting cytokines IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-10, and IL-15 may be involved. IL-2 and IL-15 induced STAT5 phosphorylation (P-STAT5) in CD4+ T cells but there was a clear separation of cells into P-STAT5- and P-STAT5+ populations to similar proportions in HIV- and HIV+ patients. In response to IL-7, the proportion of P-STAT5- cells was significantly higher in HIV+ patients compared to HIV- controls. The IL-7 dependent P-STAT5- CD4+ T cells appeared to correlate with a lack of IL-7Ralpha chain expression. However, the P-STATS- cells observed did not correlate significantly with other cytokine receptor components. Cytokine-induced P-STAT5 in the CD8+ T cells from HIV+ patients was clearly detected. However, IL-2 and IL-15 stimulation revealed a P-STATS- CD8+ T cell population, which was not detected in HIV- subjects. P-STATS- CD8+ T cells were observed in all HIV+ patients studied in response to IL-2 and IL-15, irrespective of HAART. Defects in the IL-2 and IL-15 mediated signaling pathways appeared to exist downstream of cytokine receptor expression. In response to IL-7, P-STATS- cells were observed in both HIV+ and HIV- patients. However, their proportion was higher in HIV+ patients and returned towards that of HIV- controls under HAART and correlated inversely with IL-7Ralpha chain expression. The presence of P-STATS- CD8+ T cells did not correlate with the expression of other cytokine receptor chains. The P-STAT5- T cells observed in response to these cytokines may represent cells at distinct differentiation stages and functional capacities that arise in response to chronic HIV infection and may contribute to the eventual insufficiency of the cell mediated immune response.

L’arte pura in tutte le lingue del mondo (Luis Cernuda)
Creators: name: Petrelli, Micla
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Lingue e Letterature Straniere Moderne, Università di Bologna

description: In the 20s and 30s Spain grows a fertile contradiction: on the one hand it wants to wake up taking its national identity back, on the other hand it wishes to put an end to isolation, to the feeling of being victim of an historical injustice. The same injustice which have led to its slow decline. The idea that it might be visible to the world again, the project for a spiritual regeneration through a pure and universally translatable poetry keep lots of intellectuals busy (as, in different ways, the poets of the so-called “1927 Generation”). G. Diego, J. Ortega y Gasset, M. Zambrano realize that the human destiny is becoming more and more tied up to the human linguistic condition. They draw a lot of ideas about Art and Poetry. One of the most representatives of this conception is L. Cernuda, a sort of singular, asymmetric, unapproachable poet. Cernuda, who leaves Spain loosing his language and his own imagine as well, later finds them again in Mexico, where, at the climax of his dépaysement, he feels good, he feels it’s the right place and that he can own it.

La Spagna degli anni ‘20-’30 coltiva una fertile contraddizione: se per un verso vuole risvegliarsi riappropriandosi di una identità nazionale, per l’altro desidera solo porre fine all’isolamento, a quel sentimento di essere vittima di un’ingiustizia storica che ne aveva segnato il lento decadimento. L’idea di tornare ad essere visibile al mondo, e il progetto di rigenerazione spirituale attraverso una poesia pura ma universalmente traducibile, impegna molti intellettuali e, con soluzioni diverse, i poeti della cosiddetta “Generazione del ‘27”. Le voci di G. Diego, J. Ortega y Gasset, M. Zambrano, O. Paz, consapevoli che il destino dell’uomo appare sempre più legato alla sua condizione linguistica, tracciano un orizzonte di questioni sull’arte e la poesia che si incarnano nell’esperienza di Luis Cernuda, poeta differente, asimmetrico, inavvicinabile. Cernuda, che lascia la Spagna perdendo la lingua, e con essa la propria stessa immagine, a contatto con il mondo messicano, al suo massimo di dépaysement, sente di essere al suo posto, in un posto che poteva essere suo, ritrova la lingua madre e ne scopre l’universalità.

Más de la mitad de los pacientes diagnosticados de Trastorno Bipolar presentan, de forma predominante, recaídas de tipo depresivo o maníaco. Asimismo, se ha observado que los psicofármacos empleados en la prevención de reagudizaciones ofrecen también preferentemente un perfil antidepresivo o antimaníaco. Por lo tanto, el mejor conocimiento del Índice de Polaridad de los mismos puede ayudar a evitar recaídas en pacientes bipolares.

MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS:Revisión de la Historia Clínica de la paciente. DESCRIPCIÓN DEL CASO Y RESULTADOS:

Se trata de una mujer que a los 16 años es diagnosticada de Anorexia Nerviosa, precisando un primer ingreso hospitalario. Posteriormente, con 29 años, en el 2015, sufre un primer episodio de características maniformes que precisa ingreso en UAP Barcelona y es diagnosticada de T: Bipolar de tipo I. Desde entonces, precisa de cinco ingresos en UAP del CAULE, seguidos de Hospital de Día Psiquiátrico, inicialmente anuales disminuyendo progresivamente la periodicidad; todos ellos por descompensaciones de características maniformes con ideación delirante. Durante estos años la paciente siguió tratamiento con diferentes psicofármacos (litio, risperidona, aripiprazol, olanzapina, quetiapina...). En el año 2019, tras el último ingreso, comienza tratamiento con Xeplion IM (paliperidona) asociado a Plenur (litio) manteniéndose estable sin descompensaciones hasta la actualidad.

Hace 1 año se queda embarazada, continuando con el tratamiento durante todo el embarazo, tanto ella como el bebé se encuentran sanos. La paciente ha continuado psicopatológicamente estable durante todo el embarazo y puerperio.

DISCUSIÓN Y CONCLUSIONES:

- La paliperidona es un antipsicótico con un potente efecto antimaníaco que puede resultar de gran utilidad en pacientes bipolares de difícil manejo.

- La paliperidona ha resultado ser un fármaco seguro durante el embarazo de nuestra paciente, sin poder concluir que así lo sea siempre por falta de estudios.

description: Colin Reynolds exquisitely consolidated our understanding of driving forces shaping phytoplankton communities and those setting the upper limit to biomass yield, with limitation typically shifting from light in winter to phosphorus in spring. Nonetheless, co-limitation is frequently postulated from enhanced growth responses to enrichments with both N and P or from N:P ranging around the Redfield ratio, concluding a need to reduce both N and P in order to mitigate eutrophication. Here, we review the current understanding of limitation through N and P and of co-limitation. We conclude that Reynolds is still correct: (i) Liebig's law of the minimum holds and reducing P is sufficient, provided concentrations achieved are low enough; (ii) analyses of nutrient limitation need to exclude evidently non-limiting situations, i.e. where soluble P exceeds 3-10 (my)g/l, dissolved N exceeds 100-130 (my)g/l and total P and N support high biomass levels with self-shading causing light limitation; (iii) additionally decreasing N to limiting concentrations may be useful in specific situations (e.g. shallow waterbodies with high internal P and pronounced denitrification); (iv) management decisions require local, situation-specific assessments. The value of research on stoichiometry and co-limitation lies in promoting our understanding of phytoplankton ecophysiology and community ecology. © The Author(s) 2020

Landscapes of integrable long-range spin chains

description: We clarify how the elliptic integrable spin chain recently found by Matushko and Zotov (MZ) relates to various other known long-range spin chains. We evaluate various limits. More precisely, we tweak the MZ chain to allow for a short-range limit, and show it is the XX model with q-deformed antiperiodic boundary conditions. Taking $q\to 1$ gives the elliptic spin chain of Sechin and Zotov (SZ), whose trigonometric case is due to Fukui and Kawakami. It, too, can be adjusted to admit a short-range limit, which we demonstrate to be the antiperiodic XX model. By identifying the translation operator of the MZ chain, which is nontrivial, we show that antiperiodicity is a persistent feature. We compare the resulting (vertex-type) landscape of the MZ chain with the (face-type) landscape containing the Heisenberg XXX and Haldane--Shastry chains. We find that the landscapes only share a single point: the rational Haldane-Shastry chain. Using wrapping we show that the SZ chain is the antiperiodic version of the Inozemtsev chain in a precise sense, and expand both chains around their nearest-neighbour limits to facilitate their interpretations as long-range deformations.

description: Partition testing is one of the widely used approaches in software testing. The efﬁcacy of partition testing methods, such as the category-partition method and the classiﬁcation-tree method, depends highly on the partitioning scheme, which groups together inputs that share some common characteristics. This paper reports case studies on the partitioning of the input domain from considerations of both the input and output perspectives, and discusses the relationships among the subdomains so formed.

description: INTRODUCCCIÓN Y OBJETIVOS:

Más de la mitad de los pacientes diagnosticados de Trastorno Bipolar presentan, de forma predominante, recaídas de tipo depresivo o maníaco. Asimismo, se ha observado que los psicofármacos empleados en la prevención de reagudizaciones ofrecen también preferentemente un perfil antidepresivo o antimaníaco. Por lo tanto, el mejor conocimiento del Índice de Polaridad de los mismos puede ayudar a evitar recaídas en pacientes bipolares.

description: Simulating the ozone variability at regional scales using chemistry transport models (CTMs) remains a challenge. We designed a multi-model intercomparison to evaluate, for the first time, four regional CTMs on a national scale for Germany. Simulations were conducted with LOTOS-EUROS, REM-CALGRID, COSMO-MUSCAT and WRF-Chem for January 1st to December 31st, 2019, using prescribed emission information. In general, all models show good performance in the operational evaluation with average temporal correlations of MDA8 O3 in the range of 0.77-0.87 and RMSE values between 16.3 (micro)g m-3 and 20.6 (micro)g m-3. On average, better models' skill has been observed for rural background stations than for the urban background stations as well as for springtime compared to summertime. Our study confirms that the ensemble mean provides a better model-measurement agreement than individual models. All models capture the larger local photochemical production in summer compared to springtime and observed differences between the urban and the rural background. We introduce a new indicator to evaluate the dynamic response of ozone to temperature. During summertime a large ensemble spread in the ozone sensitivities to temperature is found with (on average) an underestimation of the ozone sensitivity to temperature, which can be linked to a systematic underestimation of mid-level ozone concentrations. During springtime we observed an ozone episode that is not covered by the models which is likely due to deficiencies in the representation of background ozone in the models. We recommend to focus on a diagnostic evaluation aimed at the model descriptions for biogenic emissions and dry deposition as a follow up and to repeat the operational and dynamic analysis for longer timeframes. © 2023 The Authors
CLEWS model for India: Urbanisation and Rooftop solar scenarios

description: Energy, land, and water systems in India were modelled to assess urbanisation and energy decentralisation scenarios from years 2020 to 2070. The business as usual (BAU) finds that energy costs are expected to rise, due primarily to contribution from nuclear power. Furthermore, food demand is expected to double in 2070. Rapid urbanisation scenarios point to increasing deforestation, strain on water resources mainly driven by food and public water demand. Energy decentralisation scenarios suggest partial replacement of nuclear fuel with rooftop solar.

The policy recommendations for India are-

1.    Invest in agricultural technologies to improve yields, irrigation technologies for optimum use of water.

2.    Deploy rooftop solar aggressively to mitigate higher energy costs in future.

description: Cloud computing proved to offer flexible IT solutions. Although large enterprises may benefit from this technology by educating their IT departments, SMEs face the risk to dramatically falling behind in cloud usage and hence lose the ability to efficiently adapt their IT to their business needs. This chapter presents the vision and the outcome of the H2020 project CloudSocket. The foundation lays the idea of Business Processes as a Service, where concept models and semantics are applied to align business processes with Multi-Cloud deployed workflows. The proposed CloudSocket platform consist of four architectural building blocks: (i) design, (ii) allocation, (iii) execution, and (iv) evaluation. These are organised as environments that cope with specific tasks and research questions. An overview of each environment is given along with main prototypes that were developed to push the state-of-the-art in the respective field. We show the success of the achievements in current research endeavours and how we will pursue the open questions.
