description: Abstract

Introduction: Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder affecting hair follicles and causing sudden non-scarring hair loss. While multiple treatments exist, their variable efficacy and associated adverse effects have prompted exploration of novel targeted therapies such as tofacitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor in the treatment of this disorder. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of topical tofacitinib 2% solution in managing scalp and beard alopecia areata and document potential adverse effects. Methodology: A single-arm prospective interventional pilot study was conducted. Twelve participants with alopecia areata were treated with topical tofacitinib 2% solution once daily for a period of 4 weeks. Patients were followed-up every four weeks for a total of twelve weeks.  Clinical and dermoscopic evaluation was carried out at each visit. Ethical considerations were upheld throughout. Results: Participants exhibited varying degrees of hair regrowth over 12 weeks. Notably, two patients experienced partial regrowth at four weeks, while three demonstrated significant regrowth by study conclusion. Conclusion: The study suggests promising outcomes for topical tofacitinib in treating scalp and beard alopecia areata, evidenced by positive hair regrowth.

description: Abstract:

The concept of higher-dimensional gravity has been a cornerstone of string theory, braneworld models, and modified gravity theories, suggesting that our four-dimensional spacetime may be embedded in a higher-dimensional structure. While these theories have traditionally been confined to the realm of mathematical physics, recent advances in gravitational wave astronomy, black hole imaging, and precision cosmology offer potential observational avenues for testing the existence of extra dimensions.

This paper explores the role of string-theoretic compactifications, Kaluza-Klein modes, and braneworld scenarios in shaping gravitational interactions, dark matter models, and early-universe physics. We examine possible observational signatures of higher-dimensional gravity, including deviations in gravitational wave dispersion, modifications to Newton’s inverse-square law, and exotic black hole geometries. Additionally, we assess the constraints imposed by particle physics experiments, cosmological surveys, and astrophysical probes on theories that extend gravity beyond four dimensions.

Key Highlights:

Theoretical foundations of higher-dimensional gravity in string theory and braneworld models.

Predictions of extra-dimensional effects on gravitational waves, black holes, and cosmology.

Experimental constraints from gravitational lensing, dark matter phenomenology, and precision tests of gravity.

Potential modifications to the cosmological constant problem and dark energy models.

Prospects for future observational validation with high-energy physics and next-generation gravitational wave detectors.

By combining high-energy theoretical physics with astrophysical observations, this paper investigates whether higher-dimensional gravity can be tested using current and future experimental data, providing a bridge between string theory and real-world physics.

Keywords: Higher-dimensional gravity, string theory, extra dimensions, braneworld cosmology, Kaluza-Klein theory, gravitational waves, modified gravity, dark matter, cosmology, black hole physics.
Dalla diversità al delitto: il lato oscuro di un’opera di Virginia Woolf
Creators: name: Negrello, Giulia
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2016
Subjects: Woolf; delitto; manoscritto; omosessualità; suicidio; Mrs Dalloway

description: Virginia Woolf is rarely associated with the noir genre. Nevertheless, the themes of crime and of social justice are widely present in her literary production. Particularly, the ideas of crime and of its equal punishment emerge almost obsessively in Mrs Dalloway, where the writer analysed and challenged, in a very modern perspective, the inability of the society of her time to deal with the otherness.
The novel, published in 1925, is structured on a double plot, in which Woolf skilfully juxtaposes a socially acceptable society – the summery, middle-class and “sane” London of Clarissa Dalloway – with a darker dimension – the post-war, visionary and “insane” London of Septimus Warren-Smith, a homosexual veteran suffering from shell-shock – where the marginalization of the individual eventually leads to crime. Such a dichotomy allowed Woolf to introduce in her novel themes that were considered taboo at the time, such as the notions of marginality – in this case related to mental illness and homosexuality – and crime.
This essay analyses the theme of crime in Mrs Dalloway focusing on the figure of Septimus Warren-Smith, in a comparative perspective and through the autobiographical resources of Woolf’s own diaries and letters.

Chronotopes of law in William Faulkner’s novels, 1930-1939
Creators: name: Scarpino, Cinzia
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2016
Subjects: 1930s Novels; William Faulkner; Law & Literature; Chronotopes

description: The essay analyzes Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying (1930), Sanctuary (1931), Light in August (1932), and If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem (1939), focusing on the narrative and narratological interaction between the traditional chronotopes of law (the trial, the prison), the horizontal chronotopes of the barn, the ‘shuttered’ house, and the river, and the vertical chronotopes of the fire and the flood.

The vertical chronotopes deployed attempt to challenge the official system of the law, using deeply embedded in Southern obsession for miscegenation (the rape and murder of a white woman and the lynching of an alleged mulatto) as catalysts.  However, it is the contention of this essay, no real change is engendered to human or legal justice. With the truth literally destroyed fire and water, the characters’ quest is perpetually thrust back into the stasis of non-contemporaneity.

title: Security of Cryptographic Primitives in Advanced Security Notions
Creators: name: Struck, Patrick
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2022

description: The provable security paradigm is an important tool to show security of cryptographic primitives. Here, security follows from showing that an adversary cannot break a scheme with respect to some security notion. Standard security notions, however, often do not cover scenarios that might happen in practice. Examples are side-channel leakage as well as usage of keys and random coins that are somehow related. Another setting that often is not considered is security with respect to adversaries that have quantum computing power. In this thesis we study security of schemes in advanced security notions; these notions model more sophisticated attacks which can happen when using such schemes. We develop new advanced security notions, analyse existing primitives with respect to these, and construct primitives that achieve such advanced security notions. The first part of this thesis focuses on security outside the black-box model. Here, we develop a generic blueprint for a leakage-resilient authenticated encryption scheme from leakage-resilient functions. We then provide an instantiation entirely built from sponges. Furthermore, we provide security notions for related-key attacks against authenticated encryption schemes and analyse generic constructions with respect to these. Finally, we study the security of public key encryption schemes in case of reused random coins; we prove a simplification of the security notion which was already claimed yet backed up by a proof which was later identified as flawed. The second part focuses on security against the glooming threat of quantum computers. First, we provide positive results for the post-quantum security of several primitives. We develop a lifting theorem for public key encryption schemes from classical proofs in the random oracle model to post-quantum proofs in the quantum random oracle model. We further show post-quantum security of the sponge-based authenticated encryption scheme developed in the first part, a generic construction for deterministic wallets, and Yao's garbled circuits. Second, we develop a quantum security notion for public key encryption schemes which allows for a quantum challenge phase; we provide both positive and negative results with respect to this security notion.
The Art of Political Murder de Francisco Goldman y el policial de no-ficción entre Estados Unidos y Guatemala

Subjects: Crime Novel; New Journalism; No-fiction; Center-American postwar

description: This essay analyses the use of crime fiction in Francisco Goldman’s reportage The Art of Political Murder, and the contribution this makes to political change in the recent history of Guatemala. The aim of Goldman’s investigative report was not just to find a murderer, but above all to criticize the abuses of power perpetrated with impunity by the ‘State’, and the practices put in place to eradicate dissidence. To understand how the features of detective fiction are used in journalism to support the search for truth, the essay examines the social power of different typologies of Crime Novel. Goldman’s The Art of Political Murder is read from the viewpoint of literary Testimonio, against the Guatemalan and Central-American literary background, to see how it can contribute to the current struggle for identity.

description: Abstract:

Mach’s Principle, which suggests that local inertial frames are influenced by the global distribution of mass in the universe, has long been a topic of debate in gravitational physics. While Einstein’s General Relativity (GR) incorporates some aspects of Mach’s ideas, its full implications remain unclear. With the advent of gravitational wave (GW) astronomy and precision cosmology, we now have new observational tools to re-examine Mach’s Principle in the context of modern physics.

This paper explores whether gravitational wave propagation, cosmic anisotropies, and large-scale structure formation provide evidence for Machian effects. We analyze how frame-dragging, metric perturbations, and alternative gravitational models might exhibit Machian behavior in strong gravitational fields, rotating astrophysical systems, and expanding cosmological backgrounds. Additionally, we investigate whether quantum gravity, emergent spacetime models, and modifications to GR can offer a deeper theoretical foundation for Mach’s ideas.

Key Highlights:

Historical and modern perspectives on Mach’s Principle in the context of General Relativity and alternative gravity models.

Gravitational wave constraints on inertial frame dragging and cosmic-scale interactions.

Connections between Mach’s Principle and large-scale cosmic structure formation.

Exploring quantum gravity and emergent spacetime models as potential Machian frameworks.

Observational prospects from LIGO/Virgo, LISA, and cosmological surveys.

By integrating classical mechanics, relativistic physics, and modern astrophysical observations, this paper re-evaluates Mach’s Principle as a viable concept in contemporary gravitational physics and explores potential experimental avenues for testing its validity.

description: Features of the tubular type of heat exchanger were examined experimentally in the current study. A rig is fitted with a novel insert as a negative heat transfer increase technique. The core fluid used is air under steady heat flux and a turbulent discharge state (6000 ≤ Re ≤ 19,500) conditions. Two heat transfer augmentation inserts are employed; one is the basket turbulators utilized as a turbulator and placed inside the heat exchanger with a constant pitch ratio (PR = 150 mm), and the other is the basket turbulators together with twisted tape that are installed at the core of the basket turbulators. The measurements illustrated that the Nusselt number (Nu) was found to be higher by about 131.8%, 169.5%, 187.7%, and 206.5% in comparison with the plain heat exchanger for basket turbulators and the combined basket–twisted tape inserts with y/w = 6, 3, and 2, respectively. The highest thermal efficiency factor of the increased tubular heat exchanger is 1.63 times more elevated than that of the simple heat exchanger on average, due to a binary basket-quirky strip for a twisting percentage y/w equal to 2 under steady pumping energy. Further, practical correlations for the Nusselt number, as well as friction characteristics, were established and presented.

description: This article analyzes Nino Filastò’s novel entitled  Tre giorni nella vita dell’avvocato Scalzi (1989), republished as Nella terra di nessuno (2001) after the homonymous 2000 film version featuring Ben Gazzara as the protagonist. Filastò is a defence lawyer and wrote this novel following his experience working with Italian terrorists held in high security prisons during the so-called Years of Lead. Through a story set in the 1980s in a fictional prison, Filastò denounces the situation in Italy in the 1970s and 1980s, when the promulgation of emergency anti-terrorism laws prevented defence lawyers from discharging their professional duties towards their clients. On the one hand, these laws introduced more severe sentences for common crimes performed by terrorists; on the other they granted reduction of a sentence for those who accepted to cooperate with the police enquiries. Therefore, in the novel Filastò shows how these laws first imposed disproportionate punishment; then, by establishing a direct line between judges and the defendant, they provided a way out that nullified the function of the defence. By highlighting the mistreatment of inmates in high security prisons in a story of travesty of justice, Filastò is a precursor of a subsequent successful trend in Italy that sees judges, policemen, and lawyers use crime fiction to eviscerate the mechanisms of the Italian judiciary. His novel is also a powerful reminder of the risks of depriving human beings of their basic rights in order to pursue a fight against terrorism.

Multiverse Theories in Light of Quantum Gravity: Toward a Unified Framework of Cosmic Landscapes

Abstract:

The idea of a multiverse—a vast ensemble of universes beyond our observable cosmos—has gained increasing attention in theoretical physics. While originally proposed in the context of inflationary cosmology, string theory landscapes, and quantum mechanics interpretations, modern developments in quantum gravity provide new perspectives on the physical viability of multiverse models. This paper explores whether quantum gravity effects, holographic principles, and higher-dimensional theories can offer a unified framework for understanding the cosmic landscape and its potential testable signatures.

We analyze different multiverse scenarios, including the eternal inflationary multiverse, string theory’s landscape of vacua, quantum many-worlds interpretations, and holographic multiverse proposals. Using insights from loop quantum gravity, AdS/CFT correspondence, and non-perturbative quantum field theory, we investigate whether multiverse predictions could manifest in cosmological background fluctuations, black hole information paradox resolutions, or modifications to standard inflationary predictions.

Key Highlights:

Comparison of different multiverse theories (inflationary, string landscape, quantum many-worlds).

Role of quantum gravity and extra dimensions in defining the structure of the multiverse.

Holography and entanglement entropy as potential tools for describing multiple universes.

Exploring possible observational signatures, including effects on cosmic microwave background anisotropies and black hole entropy bounds.

Implications for fundamental physics, spacetime emergence, and the nature of reality.

By integrating quantum gravity, string theory, and modern cosmology, this work provides a theoretical foundation for assessing multiverse hypotheses and explores whether future experiments could distinguish between competing multiverse models.

Biopolitics in Roberto Bolaño’s 2666, “The Part About the Crimes”

Year: 2016
Subjects: Roberto Bolaño; Ciudad Juárez; detective novel; biopolitics; state of exception; neoliberal capitalism

description: Starting from Agamben’s theories of state of exception, and sovereignty and subalternity, this article looks at Roberto Bolaño’s 2004 novel, 2666, as a critique of neoliberal capitalism, where the law is predicated on violence and exploitation of surplus humanity—in this case, the poor female maquiladora workers at the U.S./Mexico border. Narco-trafficking and misogyny are symptomatic of a juridical and economic order that revolves around exploitation as central to the workings of transnational capitalism. As the boundary between legality and illegality breaks down, an aporetic state of exception forms, in which the transnational corporation acts as sovereign power by introducing a space of exception in the law. This force of law without law obscures the politicization of bare life, while maintaining traditional means of exploitation. The maquiladora workers emerge as docile bodies imprinted by the biopolitical power of sovereign financial capital. Powerless victims of overwork, displacement, destitution, and ultimately rape and slaughter, they objectify the violence of low wage labour in the global exchange of power and capital.

description: Conceived in the late thirties as “bold humanist response to Depression-era fears of runaway scientific advance and soulless industrialism” (Morrison 2012, 6), the superhero has flourished as one of the most resilient archetypes of American popular culture. This essay analyses the literary and cultural contaminations that have engendered an unprecedented revision of the paradigm since the 1980s. In particular, it will take into account three graphic novels by American cartoonist Frank Miller (1957 - ), one of leading figures of the mainstream comics renaissance, whose ideas have indelibly influenced the artistic development of both medium and genre. The Dark Knight Returns (1986), The Dark Knight Strikes Again (2002) and Holy Terror (2011) constitute an ideal Batman trilogy that charts the character’s evolution as political counterpoint to the perceived crisis of American identity. In this regard, Reaganism and 9/11 are polarized as historical discontinuities triggering the need for a new kind of a criminal (super)hero. It will be in fact demonstrated how the novels hybridise the latent generic links to hardboiled pulp novels (R. Chandler, D. Hammet) with narrative and aesthetics elements appropriated from the culturally-received concepts of terrorism and terrorists. This fruitful contamination on the one hand “play[s] with reader assumptions about genre” (Baetens and Frey 2015, 46), while on the other hand deconstructs the ideological underpinnings of the archetype, as the moral dichotomy and the alienation of justice from the law.

description: This essay analyses the concepts of crime and justice presented by Clarice Lispector in “Mineirinho”. This story was first published in June 1962 in the magazine Senhor with the title "Uma grama de radium-Mineirinho” and was later included in the section "Fundo de Gaveta” of the collection of stories A Legião Estrangeira (1964).

The narration of Clarice Lispector is based on a true story happened in Rio de Janeiro the night between 30 April and 1 May of 1962: a Cariocan criminal, José Miranda Rosa, a.k.a. Mineirinho, was ambushed and shot dead by police.

Although Mineirinho had committed many crimes, his violent and tragic death aroused public indignation, and the condemnation of  the cruelty with which the State exercised the right to punish those who broke the law.

In Lispector’s text, the emotions aroused by the violent death of Mineirinho are expressed through a reversal of the viewpoints that marks a sort of transition from the objectivity of the facts to the narrator's subjectivity. Through the identification with the Other,  Lispector offers a critique to the mechanism of power and tries to redefine the concepts of crime and justice.

In a historical, political and cultural context marked by violence and social exclusion such as  Brazil, Mineirinho embodies a marginalized humanity victim of a Power that exerts full control over life.

Lispector repudiates a vindictive justice which protects the interests of the privileged few at the expense of those who are on the margins of society. She empathises with the Other and expresses a deep compassion that involves the reader and leads to a reflection on the common destiny of mankind of which Mineirinho represents a tragic emblem.

description: The behaviors of spray, in Reactivity Controlled Combustion Ignition (RCCI) dual fuel engine and subsequent emissions formation, are numerically addressed. Five spray cone angles ranging between 5° and 25° with an advanced injection timing of 22° Before Top Dead Center (BTDC) are considered. The objective of this paper is twofold: (a) to enhance engine behaviors in terms of performances and consequent emissions by adjusting spray cone angle and (b) to outcome the exergy efficiency for each case. The simulations are conducted using the Ansys-forte tool. The turbulence model is the Renormalization Group (RNG) K-epsilon, which is selected for its effectiveness in strongly sheared flows. The spray breakup is governed by the hybrid model Kelvin–Helmholtz and Rayleigh–Taylor spray models. A surrogate of n-heptane, which contains 425 species and 3128 reactions, is used for diesel combustion modeling. The obtained results for methane/diesel engine combustion, under low load operating conditions, include the distribution of heat transfer flux, pressure, temperature, Heat Release Rate (HRR), and Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD). An exergy balance analysis is conducted to quantify the engine performances. Output emissions at the outlet of the combustion chamber are also monitored in this work. Investigations show a pressure decrease for a cone angle θ = 5° of roughly 8%, compared to experimental measurement (θ = 10°). A broader cone angle produces a higher mass of NOₓ. The optimum spray cone angle, in terms of exergy efficiency, performance, and consequent emissions is found to lie at 15° ≤ θ ≤ 20°.
Crimini contro la legge e leggi criminali. Porte aperte di Leonardo Sciascia, tra letteratura e cinema

description: La complessità del rapporto tra individuo e legge è la problematica centrale nella
riflessione di Porte aperte (1987), uno degli ultimi romanzi di Leonardo Sciascia. La
vicenda prende le mosse da un fatto di cronaca nera: un triplice omicidio nella
Palermo del 1937, in fascismo imperante. L’assassino è un ex impiegato di una
corporazione, ampiamente colluso con il potere e poi improvvisamente licenziato: il
suo perverso disegno di vendetta colpisce la moglie, il collega che lo ha sostituito e
l’avvocato Bruno, fascista ben noto in città e responsabile dell’ufficio in cui l’omicida
aveva lavorato. Porte aperte guarda prevalentemente al processo che seguì i fatti;
protagonista del romanzo diviene così il “piccolo giudice” chiamato in corte d’assise a
far parte della giuria come membro togato, che, contro le pressanti aspettative del
regime, dei suoi superiori e dell’opinione pubblica, riesce a evitare la condanna a
morte dell’imputato, anche grazie alla sensibilità e al coraggio di un agricoltore
autodidatta e illuminato, ora giudice popolare, assolutamente estraneo al minaccioso
clima di propaganda che esige una sentenza esemplare, e intimamente deciso alla
difesa di un diritto naturale e non negoziabile.

Da villain a self-made man L’evoluzione della figura del criminale nei gialli svedesi

Subjects: giallo svedese; critica sociale; eroe negativo; giustiziere; Sjöwall & Wahlöö; Stieg Larsson

description: This essay outlines the development of the negative hero in Swedish crime literature. While novels from the late nineteenth/early twentieth century novels conceived the villain  almost invariably as a foreigner, an alien element to be expelled as soon as possible from the «healthy» Swedish society, in the so-called «social» crime literature     started by Sjöwall and Wahlöö in the 1960s and 1970s the criminal was depicted as a victim of society, an average individual  driven to crime by the shortcomings of the welfare state. Towards the close of the century this model evolved into the antihero in the style of Lisbeth Salander, a former victim turned avenger, and later still into a more hardened and immoral criminal who commitscrimefor crime’s (and greed’s) sake.

description: Even though there is a pressing interest in clean energy sources, compression ignition (CI) engines, also called diesel engines, will remain of great importance for transportation sectors as well as for power generation in stationary applications in the foreseeable future. In order to promote applications dealing with complex diesel alternative fuels by facilitating their integration in numerical simulation, this paper targets three objectives. First, generate novel diesel fuel surrogates with more than one component. Here, five surrogates are generated using an advanced chemistry solver and are compared against three mechanisms from the literature. Second, validate the suggested reaction mechanisms (RMs) with experimental data. For this purpose, an engine configuration, which features a reacting spray flow evolving in a direct-injection (DI), single-cylinder, and four-stroke motor, is used. The RNG k-Epsilon coupled to power-law combustion models is applied to describe the complex in-cylinder turbulent reacting flow, while the hybrid Eulerian-Lagrangian Kelvin Helmholtz-Rayleigh Taylor (KH-RT) spray model is employed to capture the spray breakup. Third, highlight the impact of these surrogate fuels on the combustion properties along with the exergy of the engine. The results include distribution of temperature, pressure, heat release rate (HRR), vapor penetration length, and exergy efficiency. The effect of the surrogates on pollutant formation (NOₓ, CO, CO₂) is also highlighted. The fifth surrogate showed 47% exergy efficiency. The fourth surrogate agreed well with the maximum experimental pressure, which equaled 85 Mpa. The first, second, and third surrogates registered 400, 316, and 276 g/kg fuel, respectively, of the total CO mass fraction at the outlet. These quantities were relatively higher compared to the fourth and fifth RMs.
