Images of St Henry II, St Cunigunde, and Imperial Holiness used in the Political Communication of Emperor Frederick III (1440–1493)
Creators: name: Kandzha, Iliana
Publisher: name: eum
Year: 2020

description: The cults of the German emperor Henry II (973-1024) and his spouse Cunigunde (c. 980-1033) had been established for three centuries when their images entered the symbolic language utilized by Frederick III of Habsburg (r. 1440-1493). In this article, I analyze several visual representations devoted to Saint Henry and Saint Cunigunde, all commissioned at the end of the fifteenth century by or under the auspices of Emperor Frederick III and his successor Maximilian I. These items of medieval heritage, namely the murals from Aachen Cathedral and two altarpieces from Nuremberg and Flanders, have not previously been analyzed in relation to each other in the context of the political communication of the late-medieval Holy Roman Empire. In this paper, they are studied in their iconographic and performative contexts – as inanimate participants in imperial ceremonies and devotional actions. It is argued that these representations featuring Henry II and Cunigunde together with other holy rulers not only performed a personal devotion to the sacred rulership on the part of Frederick III but also promoted a symbolic continuity of imperial rule and conveyed a specific political agenda. This agenda, being pursued from 1471 onwards, revolved around the establishment and grounding of Frederick’s imperial authority in the German principalities. Il culto dell’imperatore tedesco Enrico II (973-1024) e della sua sposa Cunegonda (980-1033 ca.) era iniziato da tre secoli, quando le loro immagini entrarono nel linguaggio simbolico utilizzato da Federico III d’Asburgo (1440-1493). In questo articolo vengono analizzate diverse rappresentazioni visive dedicate a Sant’Enrico e Santa Cunegonda, commissionate alla fine del XV secolo da o sotto gli auspici dell’imperatore Federico III e del suo successore Massimiliano I. Questi elementi del patrimonio medievale, vale a dire i dipinti murali dalla cattedrale di Aquisgrana e due pale d’altare di Norimberga e delle Fiandre, non sono mai stati analizzati in relazione l’uno con l’altro nel contesto della comunicazione politica del Sacro Romano Impero tardo-medievale. In questo articolo essi vengono studiati nei loro contesti iconografici e performativi – come partecipanti inanimati a cerimonie imperiali e azioni devozionali. Queste immagini raffiguranti Enrico II e Cunegonda, insieme ad altri santi sovrani, rappresentarono non solo la devozione personale di Federico III al sacro dominio, ma promossero anche la continuità simbolica del dominio imperiale e trasmisero una specifica agenda politica. Quest’ultima, perseguita dal 1471 in poi, ruotava attorno alla fondazione e alla affermazione dell’autorità imperiale di Federico nei principati tedeschi.

description: This study aims to analyze the World Airport Awards as a quality distinctive and marketing tool by airports. It is a benchmarking study, and it uses secondary data from Skytrax, World Airport Awards, Airports Council International, International Air Transport Association, airport official websites and apps, App Store, and Google Play, to support research results. The method includes airport website benchmarking, communication, and marketing strategies by airports with the aim of analyzing the degree of utilization of the prize awarded by Skytrax. The study’s findings indicate that when an airport wins the Skytrax’s prize or it is positioned very good in the Skytrax’s ranking, this airport cites the achievement on its official app and website, with the aim of advertising and promoting the quality services and brand image worldwide. Furthermore, this study demonstrates that there is a high correlation between airport ranking and digital channels usage like airport’s website.
title: Integrated Control of Potato Leafhopper on Apple: Implications for Fireblight Management
Creators: name: Leahy, Kathleen P.
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

description: The plant growth retardant prohexadione-Ca (Apogee®) is able to suppress the bacterial disease fireblight (causative agent: Erwinia amylovora) on apple, and shows some suppression of several other common orchard pathogens and insects. The potato leafhopper, Empoasca fabae (Harris), is a frequent pest of apple orchards in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic U.S., which can require multiple insecticide applications to control severe infestations, and which has been implicated in the dissemination of fireblight. The efficacy of prohexadione-Ca in suppressing potato leafhopper was compared with that ofimidacloprid (Provado™), a commonly used orchard insecticide, which is known to have excellent efficacy on leafhoppers. A factorial experiment with +/- prohexadione-Ca and+/- imidacloprid as the treatments was conducted, using a randomized complete block design, in two separate orchards over two growing seasons. Prohexadione-Ca and imidacloprid suppressed potato leafhopper feeding damage comparably in both.years, and an additional level of suppression was documented when both materials were used. It appears that commercial orchardists will be able to control potato leafhoppers with prohexadione-Ca using little or no insecticide.
Rediscovering the virgin martyrs in late medieval Central Europe. The case of the cult of Saint Dorothy in Hungary /La riscoperta delle vergini martiri nell'Europa Centrale medievale. Il caso del culto di Santa Dorotea in Ungheria

description: Saint Dorothy was highly popular in the fifteenth-century Hungary, however, she was almost unknown a hundred years earlier. This phenomenon is not unique and not limited only to this particular saint and territory. The fourteenth century seems to be the period when the cults and legends of virgin martyrs were rediscovered in Europe. How did their cult re-emerged in Central Europe? The present paper analyzes through the Hungarian cult of Saint Dorothy, which circumstances contributed to the proliferation of the cult of virgin martyrs with interdisciplinary method. Besides the growing importance of women, the general changes in the cult of saints facilitated the spread of the cult of virgin martyrs. The growing importance of images and sermons contributed to the spread of the old saints’ cult, whose venerations were not connected to certain locations. Moreover, their intimate relationship with the Virgin Mary made them effective intercessors which also subsidized to their popularity. Santa Dorotea era altamente popolare nel Regno d’Ungheria del Quattrocento, ma era quasi una figura sconosciuta solo un secolo prima. Questo fenomeno non è unico, né si limita a Santa Dorotea e a questo territorio. Da ciò si evince che è stato il Trecento il periodo in cui le Sante ’vergini e martiri’ sono state riscoperte in Europa. Come è che il loro culto è tornato a riemergere nell’Europa Centrale? Il presente studio analizza con un approccio indisciplinare le circostanze che hanno causato la rapida diffusione del culto delle sante vergini e martiri tramite l’esempio del culto ungherese di Santa Dorotea. A parte l’importanza crescente delle donne anche i cambiamenti generali relativi al culto dei santi hanno giocato un ruolo importante. Le immagini di santi e i sermoni hanno contribuito alla proliferazione del culto di vecchi santi il cui culto non era legato a località specifiche.Peraltro, la stretta relazione tra la Vergine e le Sante vergini e martiri ha fatto di loro strumenti di intercessione efficienti il che ha pure contribuito alla loro popolarità.

description: We construct exactly solvable models for a wide class of symmetry enriched topological (SET) phases. Our construction applies to 2D bosonic SET phases with finite unitary onsite symmetry group $G$ and we conjecture that our models realize every phase in this class that can be described by a commuting projector Hamiltonian. Our models are designed so that they have a special property: if we couple them to a dynamical lattice gauge field with gauge group $G$, the resulting gauge theories are equivalent to modified string-net models. This property is what allows us to analyze our models in generality. As an example, we present a model for a phase with the same anyon excitations as the toric code and with a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry which exchanges the $e$ and $m$ type anyons. We further illustrate our construction with a number of additional examples.

description: We explore the problem of atomic collapse in graphene by monopole impurities, both electric and magnetic, within the context of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. For electric impurities, upon factorizing the radial Dirac Hamiltonian and identifying the supercharges, existence of a critical charge that makes the ground state {\em fall-into-the-center} translates into lost of hermicity for the corresponding Hamiltonian and hence lost of unitarity of the theory. For the problem of magnetic monopole impurities, preservation of unitarity for all values of the parameters of the corresponding potential translates into the absence of atomic collapse in this case.

Subjects: Aerospace engineering not elsewhere classified

description: A preliminary study of the foggy day analysis at Yangon International Airport was carried out from the previous author’s first study by using a statistical approach. This opens up a fresh line of inquiry and the opportunity to consider climatology from a different angle. Fog has occurred most frequently in the winter months of December and January. During the 19 years period from 2003 to 2021, we count 187038 occurrences of observation from Yangon International Airport using half-hourly METAR data. This information included 32966 instances of meteorological phenomena, including 379 incidences of mist and 7911 instances of foggy weather. The total number of days with fog varies from 23 to 91 per year, with the year 2014 having the most days with fog (91), and the year 2010 having the fewest days with fog (23). Winter has nearly six times the amount of fog days as summer and 1.5 times the amount of fog days as autumn. The most frequent time of day for fog was between 2300 and 01:00 UTC. Fog most usually occurs between 1800 and 2000 UTC following rains in the summer and early autumn. Data during the four to six hours prior to the commencement of the fog are subjected to classification criteria, 7610 of the 8289 fog events are only radiation and advection fog types. The first three months of the year have the highest incidence of radiation fog onset. The greatest frequencies of radiation fog onset are in February (17 %) and March (18 %). Fog episodes in 19 years were observed to be accompanied by stratus clouds 53.3 percent of the time, with low clouds being absent in 46.7 percent of them. The departure of the beginning and dissipation from the sunrise and sunset, respectively, can be used to analyze the behavior of each form of fog. At Yangon International Airport, the conditions where the fog was most likely to form were those when the minimum temperature fell between 16 and 27 °C (liquid fog). The latest discovery raises a new topic and a new option for interpreting climatology from a new perspective and making considerable progress in the predictability study, according to a well- known physicist in another setting.

Santo subito? Popes as “New Saints” in the Age of Eleventh-Century Reform
Creators: name: Hobelleitner, David Franz
Publisher: name: eum
Year: 2020

description: Although some popes already enjoyed saint-like veneration, papal sanctity significantly increased during the ecclesiastical reform in the eleventh century. After all, it was Pope Gregory VII (1073-1085) – one of the main protagonists of the reform – who stated in his Dictatus papae that «The Bishop of Rome, if he has been ordained according to canon law, is undoubtedly made a saint through the merits of blessed Peter […]». These ideas draw attention to general strategies of representation, especially regarding the cult of Early Christian popes (such as Clement I). The increasing worship they enjoyed can be noticed not least in contemporary pictorial programmes. The paper deals with the propagation of early popes as “new saints” and seeks to identify the driving forces behind their dissemination. Analysing monumental art such as the Enthronement scene in the Lower Church of San Clemente and the (lost) apse decoration of the Oratory of St Nicholas in Lateran Palace, it also reflects upon the intentions behind these specific commissions and the (re-)establishment of papal cults in Rome. Sebbene alcuni papi godessero già di una venerazione simile a quella di un santo, il riconoscimento della “santità papale” aumentò significativamente nel secolo XI, durante i tempi della riforma ecclesiastica. Papa Gregorio VII (1073-1085), protagonista principale della riforma, affermò infatti nel suo Dictatus papae che «Il vescovo di Roma, se è stato ordinato secondo la legge canonica, è senza dubbio di fatto un santo per i meriti del beato Pietro […]». Queste idee innescano strategie generali di rappresentazione, in particolare per quanto riguarda il culto dei papi paleocristiani (come Clemente I). La venerazione crescente di cui essi sono oggetto può essere notata anche nei programmi pittorici del tempo. L’articolo analizza la diffusione del culto dei papi come “nuovi santi”, cercando di identificare anche le forze motrici di questo fenomeno. Analizzando opere d’arte come l’Intronizzazione di Papa Clemente nella chiesa inferiore di San Clemente e la decorazione perduta dell’abside dell’oratorio di San Nicola nel Palazzo Laterano, l’autore si interroga anche sulle intenzioni che stanno alla base di queste specifiche commissioni e quindi sulla “ri-fondazione” dei culti papali a Roma.

title: Intelligent interface agents for biometric applications
Creators: name: Mavity, Nick
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: This thesis investigates the benefits of applying the intelligent agent paradigm to biometric identity verification systems. Multimodal biometric systems, despite their additional complexity, hold the promise of providing a higher degree of accuracy and robustness. Multimodal biometric systems are examined in this work leading to the design and implementation of a novel distributed multi-modal identity verification system based on an intelligent agent framework. User interface design issues are also important in the domain of biometric systems and present an exceptional opportunity for employing adaptive interface agents. Through the use of such interface agents, system performance may be improved, leading to an increase in recognition rates over a non-adaptive system while producing a more robust and agreeable user experience. The investigation of such adaptive systems has been a focus of the work reported in this thesis. The research presented in this thesis is divided into two main parts. Firstly, the design, development and testing of a novel distributed multi-modal authentication system employing intelligent agents is presented. The second part details design and implementation of an adaptive interface layer based on interface agent technology and demonstrates its integration with a commercial fingerprint recognition system. The performance of these systems is then evaluated using databases of biometric samples gathered during the research. The results obtained from the experimental evaluation of the multi-modal system demonstrated a clear improvement in the accuracy of the system compared to a unimodal biometric approach. The adoption of the intelligent agent architecture at the interface level resulted in a system where false reject rates were reduced when compared to a system that did not employ an intelligent interface. The results obtained from both systems clearly express the benefits of combining an intelligent agent framework with a biometric system to provide a more robust and flexible application.
Sculture nei Musei Capitolini. Note per una storia del restauro tra il 1830 e l’Unità d’Italia / Sculptures in the Capitoline Museums. Notes for a history of restoration between 1830 and the Unification of Italy

description: La ricostruzione della storia e delle vicende collezionistiche dei Musei Capitolini presenta una sostanziale lacuna che va all’incirca dagli anni ’20 dell’Ottocento agli eventi immediatamente successivi all’elezione di Roma a capitale d’Italia. Nella prospettiva di colmare parzialmente tale vuoto storiografico, il presente contributo propone una lettura delle campagne di restauro e conservazione operate sul materiale scultoreo della collezione in questi anni, attraverso l’analisi dei documenti conservati presso l’Archivio Capitolino, fondi Presidenze e Deputazioni e Commissione Archeologica Municipale. In questo contesto l’analisi dei carteggi restituisce, da un lato, la presenza di una fitta rete di personaggi attivi nel museo, dal presidente ai restauratori agli scalpellini, dall’altra evidenzia il graduale emergere di nuovi modelli nelle prassi del restauro scultoreo e nell’approccio alla comprensione della storia di Roma antica. The reconstruction of the history and the events that involve the collections in the Capitoline Museums shows a substantial gap in the years between 1820s and the election of Rome as the capital of Italy in the early 1870s. In the perspective to bridge such a historiographical gap, this paper offers an interpretation of the campaigns of restoration and conservation that were carried out on the sculptures of the museum in these years, through the analysis of the documents which are kept in the Capitoline Archive, files Presidencies and Deputations and Archeological Municipal Commission. In this context, the investigation of the original records will demonstrate, on the one hand, the presence of several people working in the museum, from the president to the restorers to the stonecutters, as well as, on the other hand, the gradual emerging of new standards in the restoration of sculpture and the approach to the understanding of the history of ancient Rome.

description: We study magnetic solitons, solitary waves of spin polarization (i.e., magnetization), in binary Bose-Einstein condensates in the presence of Rabi coupling. We show that the system exhibits two types of magnetic solitons, called $2π$ and $0π$ solitons, characterized by a different behavior of the relative phase between the two spin components. $2π$ solitons exhibit a $2π$ jump of the relative phase, independent of their velocity, the static domain wall explored by Son and Stephanov being an example of such $2π$ solitons with vanishing velocity and magnetization. $0π$ solitons instead do not exhibit any asymptotic jump in the relative phase. Systematic results are provided for both types of solitons in uniform matter. Numerical calculations in the presence of a one-dimensional harmonic trap reveal that a $2π$ soliton evolves in time into a $0π$ soliton, and vice versa, oscillating around the center of the trap. Results for the effective mass, the Landau critical velocity, and the role of the transverse confinement are also discussed.

Un’allegoria di Alessandro Turchi e un bozzetto di Giovan Battista Lenardi/ An allegory by Alessandro Turchi and a sketch by Giovan Battista Lenardi
Creators: name: Papetti, Massimo
Publisher: name: eum
Year: 2020

description: In questo contributo si pubblicano due dipinti del secolo XVIII conservati nella Pinacoteca civica di Ripatransone, nelle Marche, appartenenti al nucleo di opere donata dal magistrato e scultore Uno Gera. Il primo è un’Allegoria della Filosofia che in questa sede viene attribuita al pittore veronese Alessandro Turchi detto l’Orbetto sulla base di puntuali confronti stilistici. L’opera rappresenta un’aggiunta al catalogo dell’artista e conferma la predilezione del Turchi per i soggetti colti, destinati ad una committenza raffinata. L’analisi formale e iconografica, dalla quale si evincono le fonti letterarie dell’artista (Boezio e Cesare Ripa), suggerisce di accostare il dipinto ad un’Allegoria della Retorica di ambito gentileschiano, ora nella collezione Robilant-Voena. La seconda opera esaminata è un’Assunzione della Vergine con San Nicola che viene restituita a Giovan Battista Lenardi, pittore del tardo Seicento attivo nella cerchia dei seguaci di Pietro da Cortona. La tela è riconosciuta come bozzetto per una pala d’altare destinata alla chiesa di San Giuseppe dei Falegnami a Roma e oggi approdato al Los Angeles County Museum of Art. In this contribution there are published two paintings of the XVIII century, exhibited in the Pinacoteca Civica of Ripatransone, in the Marche, belonging to the collection donated by the magistrate and sculptor Uno Gera. The first one is an Allegory of Philosophy, attributed to Alessandro Turchi, known as Orbetto, on the basis of stylistic comparisons. The painting represents an addition to the artist’s catalogue and confirms Turchi’s predilection for scholarly subjects, destined for refined customers. The analysis of style and iconography, from which we deduce the literary sources of the artist (Boezio and Cesare Ripa), suggests how to compares the painting with an Allegory of Rhetoric within the Gentileschi area, nowadays part of the Robilant-Voena collection. The painting may have been part of a small series of works united by subject (perhaps depicting the Seven Liberal Arts ruled by Philosophy) and perhaps made by different artists, in accordance with the practice of the time. The second artwork examined is an Assumption of the Virgin with Saint Nicholas which is attribuited to Giovan Battista Lenardi, a late seventeenth century painter active in the circle of followers of Pietro da Cortona. The canvas is recognized as a sketch for an altarpiece destined for the church of San Giuseppe dei Falegnami in Rome and today exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

description: Le comunità femminili documentate a Ravenna nell’alto Medioevo sono quattro, una delle quali attestata da un unico documento di datazione incerta. La relazione prenderà in considerazione le tre comunità meglio documentate, ovvero S. Maria in Cereseo e S. Martino post Ecclesiam maiorem, poi confluite nell’unico monastero femminile documentato a Ravenna fra l’XI e il XIII secolo: S. Andrea Maggiore. Attraverso la documentazione si ricostruiranno le complesse vicende delle monache ravennati fino alla fusione in S. Andrea e i primi secoli del monastero fondato presso la basilica che conservò per molto tempo le reliquie dell’Apostolo martirizzato a Patrasso e che rimase in vita, non senza difficoltà, fino alle soppressioni napoleoniche. In the early Middle Ages in Ravenna there were four female monasteries: one of these is documented by a single document. The article will consider the three best documented communities, that means S. Maria in Cereseo and St. Martino post Ecclesiam maiorem. Both then merged into the only female monastery documented in in Ravenna between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries: St. Andrea Maggiore. Through the documentation we will reconstruct the the complex events that characterized the life of the nuns until the merger in S. Andrea and the history of the first centuries of the monastery.

description: Horizon Europe is one of the world’s largest international funding programme for science and innovation. With a total budget of €95.5 billion over seven years, Horizon Europe is indispensable to European science. The programme is key for taking on big social challenges such as climate change, inequality of opportunity and health disparities. For example, it has made a solid contribution to greater cooperation in European research and to an increase in pioneering basic research. Nonetheless, the Dutch universities, the university medical centres and the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) have found that the Horizon programme could still be better equipped to make a real difference with regard to the great challenges we face.

 The current Horizon programme will run until the end of 2027. The European Commission is taking this opportunity to take a long and hard look at its research programme. In a large public consultation, the Commission is canvassing for experiences with Horizon 2020 (the programme that ended in 2020) and the current Horizon Europe programme, as well as looking ahead at policy priorities for the coming years. Universities, university medical centres and the KNAW benefit greatly from a smoothly running programme. They offer the EU five recommendations.

description: Let $X_1, X_2,\dots, X_n$ denote i.i.d.~centered standard normal random variables, then the law of the sample variance $Q_n=\sum_{i=1}^n(X_i-\bar{X})^2$ is the $χ^2$-distribution with $n-1$ degrees of freedom. It is an open problem in classical probability to characterize all distributions with this property and in particular, whether it characterizes the normal law. In this paper we present a solution of the free analog of this question and show that the only distributions, whose free sample variance is distributed according to a free $χ^2$-distribution, are the semicircle law and more generally so-called \emph{odd} laws, by which we mean laws with vanishing higher order even cumulants. In the way of proof we derive an explicit formula for the free cumulants of $Q_n$ which shows that indeed the odd cumulants do not contribute and which exhibits an interesting connection to the concept of $R$-cyclicity.

Il progetto, voluto e realizzato dall’antiquario milanese Orlando Crotti, si colloca a margine della grande stagione estrattistica primo-novecentesca come un caso di importanza paradigmatica nella storia della musealizzazione di affreschi staccati e di possibili crimini contro il nostro patrimonio culturale. La sospetta natura fraudolenta della collezione, insinuata in quegli anni da importanti personalità della critica d’arte, fu posta al vaglio in una serie di processi giudiziari che ho voluto ricostruire, integrando la documentazione relativa ai procedimenti penali, finora inedita e conservata presso il polo archivistico di Morimondo, con il relativo fascicolo presso la Soprintendenza delle Belle Arti e del Paesaggio della Liguria e con un’attento vaglio della stampa locale e nazionale dell’epoca. The essay presents the reconstruction of the events related to the collection of the Museo del Monte di Portofino, opened to the public in 1974, counting several hundreds of detached frescoes. The project, wanted and carried out by the milanese antiquarian Orlando Crotti, took place toward the end of a great season of detachment of wall paintings happened in the early-twentieth-century and emerges as a case of paradigmatic importance in the development of the display of detached frescoes as well as possible crimes against cultural heritage. The suspected fraudulent nature of the collection, substained in those years by important art critics, was examined in a series of trials that I aimed to reconstruct, integrating the documentation relating to the court, until now unpublished and kept in the archive of Morimondo, with the related dossier at the Soprintendenza delle Belle Arti e del Paesaggio of Liguria and with a careful examination of the local and national press of the time.

description: Redescription mining is a field of knowledge discovery that aims at finding different descriptions of similar subsets of instances in the data. These descriptions are represented as rules inferred from one or more disjoint sets of attributes, called views. As such, they support knowledge discovery process and help domain experts in formulating new hypotheses or constructing new knowledge bases and decision support systems. In contrast to previous approaches that typically create one smaller set of redescriptions satisfying a pre-defined set of constraints, we introduce a framework that creates large and heterogeneous redescription set from which user/expert can extract compact sets of differing properties, according to its own preferences. Construction of large and heterogeneous redescription set relies on CLUS-RM algorithm and a novel, conjunctive refinement procedure that facilitates generation of larger and more accurate redescription sets. The work also introduces the variability of redescription accuracy when missing values are present in the data, which significantly extends applicability of the method. Crucial part of the framework is the redescription set extraction based on heuristic multi-objective optimization procedure that allows user to define importance levels towards one or more redescription quality criteria. We provide both theoretical and empirical comparison of the novel framework against current state of the art redescription mining algorithms and show that it represents more efficient and versatile approach for mining redescriptions from data.

title: Evolutionary ethics without the error : how care ethics can vindicate moral realism
Creators: name: Walsh, Joseph Paul
Publisher: name: University of Kent

description: In this thesis I defend a form of moral realism against Richard Joyce's evolutionary argument for an error theory. I explain how evolutionary data can be used to explain human behaviour, ultimately endorsing a developmental systems perspective on the evolution of traits. I argue that evolutionary theories of ethics, developmentally conceived, are best demarcated from non-evolutionary ethical theories by appealing to the distinction between moral philosophy and moral psychology. I then set out Joyce's argument for an error theory, and in so doing respond to his claim that moral properties cannot be successfully naturalised. I then consider different naturalistic approaches to moral realism, assessing whether these approaches successfully meet Joyce's sceptical challenge. I look first at Philippa Foot's neo-Aristotelian approach to virtue ethics, arguing that her position fails because of her commitment to eudaimonism, and to a welfarist conception of function. I then consider Jesse Prinz's realist sentimentalism. This too, I argue, fails to constitute a convincing reply to Joyce, owing to internal inconsistencies, and to the failure of Prinz's theory to meet certain criteria intuitively constitutive of moral realism. Finally, I argue that a successful realist response to Joyce can be made by developing an evolutionary account of care ethics. I begin to develop such an account in the final chapter of the thesis, showing how the theory which I sketch meets each of the aspects of Joyce's argument for an error theory.

description: The antioxidative, antimicrobial and antibiofilm potentials of acetone, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of lichen species Platismatia glauca and Pseudevernia furfuracea were evaluated. The phytochemical analysis by GC, GC/MS and NMR revealed caperatic acid, atraric acid, atranorin and chloroatranorin as the predominant compounds in Platismatia glauca. Atraric acid, olivetoric acid, atranorin and chloroatranorin were the major constituents in Pseudevernia furfuracea. The strong antioxidant capacities of the Platismatia glauca and Pseudevernia furfuracea extracts were assessed by their total phenolic and flavonoid contents and DPPH scavenging activities. The methanol extracts of both species exhibited the strongest antioxidant activities with the highest IC50 value for Pseudevernia furfuracea (95.33 μg/mL). The lichen extracts demonstrated important antibacterial activities against 11 bacterial strains with detectable MIC values from 0.08 mg/mL to 2.5 mg/mL for Platismatia glauca and from 0.005 mg/mL to 2.5 mg/mL for Pseudevernia furfuracea. While the antibacterial activities of Pseudevernia furfuracea were solvent–independent, the acetone and ethyl acetate extracts of Platismatia glauca showed higher antibacterial activities compared to its methanol extract. The methanol extracts of both species demonstrated significant antifungal activities against 9 fungal strains with detectable MIC values from 0.04 mg/mL to 2.5 mg/mL. The best antifungal activities were determined against Candida species in Pseudevernia furfuracea extracts with remarkable MIC values which were lower than the MIC values of the positive contol fluconazole. The acetone and ethyl acetate extracts of Platismatia glauca showed better antibiofilm activities on Staphylococcus aureus and Proteus mirabilis with BIC value at 0.63 mg/mL then its methanol extract. On the other hand, the methanol extract of Pseudevernia furfuracea was more potent with BIC value at 1.25 mg/mL on Staphylococcus aureus and 0.63 mg/mL on Proteus mirabilis compared to other types of extracts. Our study indicates a possible use of lichens Platismatia glauca and Pseudevernia furfuracea as natural antioxidants and preservatives in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry.

description: Concussion is a heterogeneous injury involving symptoms and impairment that represent multiple domains (e.g., anxiety, cognitive, vestibular). Network analysis, a modeling technique that estimates relationships among symptoms, provides a statistically sound and clinically practical method for evaluating these interrelationships. The purpose of this study was to examine, using network analysis, relationships among clinical assessments and multidomain symptom report within a sample of adolescent patients following a concussion. Participants included 326 patients (49.7% female) aged 10–21 years presenting to a concussion specialty clinic within 28 days of a diagnosed concussion. Participants completed the Post-Concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS) and Vestibular–Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS) tool at initial visit. Network models were applied to PCSS symptoms initially, and then applied to VOMS and PCSS symptom data together. Dizziness (Expected influence (EI) = 1.10) and sadness (EI = 1.91) were most central (i.e., highest cumulative partial correlations) to the symptom network. Numerous interdomain relationships were supported, including irritability with mental fogginess (edgeweight = 0.12), dizziness with headache (edgeweight = 0.16), and dizziness with vision problems (edgeweight = 0.13). Community analyses resulted in VOMS groupings by domain (e.g., vestibular) and symptom (e.g., dizziness). The findings suggest a more direct focus on symptom interrelationships, such as how dizziness contributes to emotional symptoms, may help guide and better target treatments. Also, results suggest grouping VOMS assessment by symptom (e.g., dizziness) and item (e.g., vestibular-ocular reflex) may better reflect underlying impairments reflected by these symptom-item combinations.

description: Un recente volume prende in considerazione il tema del finanziamento pubblico delle attività relative al patrimonio culturale e passa in rassegna i diversi cespiti che potrebbero alimentarlo. Tra questi appare molto sviluppato il tema delle concessioni d’uso. In queste pagine si discute criticamente la differenza sostanziale tra l’uso di cose e spazi del patrimonio e le riproduzioni delle immagini del patrimonio stesso. Poiché le immagini sono un bene immateriale e il loro uso è di natura non rivale, si sostiene la necessità di una loro piena liberalizzazione anche per usi commerciali. Si sostiene inoltre la inopportunità di qualsiasi forma di controllo sugli usi delle immagini stesse, poiché la dignità del patrimonio culturale è argomento che riguarda la società nel suo complesso e non la pubblica amministrazione, che deve invece garantire la salvaguardia fisica del patrimonio. A recent volume takes into consideration the issue of public funding of cultural heritage activities and reviews the various assets that could feed it. Among these, the issue of user concessions appears to be highly developed. In this paper the substantial difference between the use of heritage objects and spaces and the reproductions of the images of the heritage itself are critically discussed. Since images are an intangible asset and their use is of an unrivaled nature, the need for their full liberalization for commercial uses is also supported. The inopportunity of any form of control over the uses of the images is also argued, since the dignity of cultural heritage is a matter that concerns society as a whole and not the public administration, which must instead guarantee the physical safeguard of the heritage.
