description: Since the 1980s, Ramularia leaf spot (RLS) is an emerging barley disease worldwide. The control of RLS is increasingly aggravated by a recent decline in fungicide efficacy and a lack of RLS-resistant cultivars. Furthermore, climate change increases drought periods in Europe, enhances variable weather conditions, and thus will have an impact on severity of plant diseases. Hence, identification of RLS-resistant cultivars and understanding of disease progression under abiotic stress are important aims in integrated disease management under climate change. In the present study, we evaluated quantitative RLS resistance of 15 spring barley genotypes under drought, controlled irrigation and field conditions between 2016 and 2019 and monitored microclimatic conditions within the canopy. We identified genotypes that show robust quantitative resistance to RLS in different field environments. Our findings suggest that long-lasting drought periods create unfavourable conditions for the disease and supports that the extent and duration of leaf wetness is a key factor for RLS epidemics. © The Author(s) 2020

description: I materiali sono generalmente associati ad una serie di caratteristiche fisiche che determinano le loro possibilità di utilizzo nel campo della produzione industriale. Recentemente stiamo assistendo ad un interesse crescente verso materiali artificiali concepiti come sistemi in cui geometria, texture, lavorabilità e finitura superficiale sono in grado di stimolare nuove sensazioni.  Questi materiali possono essere descritti come sintetici, poiché sono il risultato della sovrapposizione combinata di prestazioni e caratteristiche ottenute secondo processi che possono essere naturali oppure progettati artificialmente. L’obiettivo di questo contributo è mostrare come l’utilizzo della micro-scala di elementi naturali quale fonte di ispirazione possa ampliare il repertorio di tipologie di materiali da rivestimento destinati all'architettura.
description: Traditionally materials have been associated with a series of physical properties that can be used as inputs to production and manufacturing. Recently we witnessed an interest in materials considered not only as ‘true matter’, but also as new breeds where geometry, texture, tooling and finish are able to provoke new sensations when they are applied to a substance. These artificial materials can be described as synthetic because they are the outcome of various qualities that are not necessarily true to the original matter, but they are the combination of two or more parts, whether by design or by natural processes. The aim of this paper is to investigate the potential of architectural surfaces to produce effects through the invention of new breeds of artificial matter, using micro-scale details derived from Nature as an inspiration.
Performance modelling in sport

description: This thesis investigates problems of performance modelling in sport. Mathematical models are used to evaluate the performance of individuals, teams, and the competition rules under which they compete. The thesis comprises a collection of papers on applications of modelling to Australian rules football, soccer and cricket. Using variations of the model wij = ui + hi - uj + eij where wij is the home team winning margin when home team i plays away team j, ui is a team rating, hi is an individual ground effect and eij is random error, the evaluation of team home ground advantage effect (HA) is studied in detail. Data from the Australian Football League and English Association Football for 1980 to 1995 are investigated. The necessity of individual team HAs is demonstrated. The usual methods of calculating HA for competitions is shown to be inappropriate for individual teams. The existence of a spurious HA when home and away performances are compared is discussed. For a balanced competition, fitting the above model by least squares is equivalent to a simple calculator method using only data from the final ladder. A method of calculating HA by pairing matches is demonstrated. Tables of HA and paired HA in terms of points/game for each year are given. The resultant HAs for both Australian rules football and soccer are analysed. Clearly there is an isolation effect, where teams that are isolated geographically have large HAs. For English soccer, the paired HA is shown to be linearly related to the distance between club grounds. As an application of these methods, the development and implementation of a computer tipping program used to forecast Australian rules football by rating teams is described. The need for ground effects for each team and ground, and the use of heuristic methods to optimise the program is discussed. The accuracy of the prediction model and its implementation by publication in the media is discussed. International comparisons show prediction methods are limited by the data. Methods for evaluating the fairness of the League draw and the finals systems are given. The thesis also investigates the use of dynamic programming to optimise tactics in football and cricket. The thesis develops tables giving the optimal run rate and the expected score or probability of winning at any stage of a one-day cricket innings. They show a common strategy in one-day cricket to be non-optimal, and a heuristic is developed that is near optimal under a range of parameter variations. A range of dynamic programming models are presented, allowing for batsmen of different abilities and various objective functions. Their application to performance modelling are shown by developing a radically different performance measure for one day cricket, and applying it to a one-day series.

description: This thesis investigated the cost-effectiveness of a 12-month supervised aerobic walking program with or without a behavioural intervention and an educational pamphlet, compared to an unsupervised/self-directed educational pamphlet intervention, among individuals with moderate osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Analyses included an economic evaluation to assess the cost effectiveness of the two walking interventions from both the societal and Canadian provincial/territorial health care payer perspectives. A value of information analysis exploring the potential value of future research was also performed. Results revealed that the unsupervised/self-directed intervention was the most cost-effective approach given that it cost the least to implement and participants had higher quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). Walking, either supervised in a community setting, or unsupervised in a setting such as the home, may be a favourable non-pharmacological option for the management of OA of the knee. The thesis concludes with a policy discussion relating to the funding of non-pharmacological therapies.

description: La possibilità di trasferire le esperienze ricavate dallo studio del mondo animale è l’esperienza formativa di design presentata in questo articolo. La pelle è un organo complesso e sofisticato che si presta a varie funzioni quali protezione, sensazione, regolazione dei liquidi e della temperatura corporea. In modo simile le facciate degli edifici dovrebbero assolvere, oltre a quello estetico, molteplici altri ruoli poiché costituiscono l’interfaccia tra i loro abitanti e gli elementi. Le ricerche e i progetti biomimetici proto-architettonici qui presentati, ispirati dallo studio della pelle di diversi animali, sono performativi e interattivi; tengono in considerazione le condizioni ambientali dinamiche, migliorandole e assecondandole anziché semplicemente sfruttandole, creando così un modo più sostenibile di costruire e vivere.
description: How to translate the lessons learned from the analysis and observation of the animal world is the design learning experience presented in this article. Skin is a complex and incredibly sophisticated organ that performs various functions, including protection, sensation and heat and water regulation. In a similar way building envelopes serve multiple roles, as they are the interface between the building inhabitants and environmental elements. The resulting architectural building envelopes proto-architectural research and design projects here presented, inspired by the study of animal skins, perform and respond; they take into consideration various dynamic local environmental conditions, enhancing and supporting them rather than exploiting them, creating a more sustainable way of building and living.

Circumpolar Arctic

description: In the Arctic Ocean, almost 50% of the seafloor is underlain by continental shelf. However, the geology of the pre-rift continental crust that makes up the basement of the shelf is poorly constrained because it is overlain by thick Cenozoic sedimentary cover. This study explores the available data and methods for mapping the continental bedrock geology beneath the sediments. In a GIS framework, extrapolation of geological map units to the shelf edge was guided by onshore structure and offshore bathymetry. The compilation involved identification of data sources, development of a common legend for pre-rift basement geology, building attributes tables for analysis, and extrapolating geological contacts. As a first-order assessment of mineral resource potential of the continental shelf, permissive tracts for certain mineral deposit types were also identified. The analysis includes a case study of permissive geology for magmatic Ni-Cu deposits in the Taimyr Peninsula in northern Russia.

description: Tribulus terrestris L., a medicinal plant rich in secondary metabolites, was studied for optimising bioactive compound extraction from various parts of the plant using ethanol–water (50:50), ethanol, and methanol solvents. Analysis of extracts for key phytochemicals like polyphenols, flavonoids, saponins, and alkaloids was performed using HPTLC, HPLC and gas chromatography. The ethanol–water mixture proved best for extracting saponins and polyphenols, ethanol for flavonoids, and methanol for alkaloids. The fruit yielded the highest saponin content (59.34% ± 3.87), while leaves were richest in polyphenols (18.94% ± 1.39), flavonoids (5.15% ± 1.01), and alkaloids (26.46% ± 1.71). Leaf extracts showed the highest antibacterial activity against B. subtilis and P. aeruginosa, and stem extracts were effective against E. coli. Root, stem, and leaf extracts exhibited antifungal activity with leaf extract also demonstrating strong phytoestrogenic activity. These findings highlight the varied phytochemical profiles and biological activities of T. terrestris, suggesting their potential therapeutic uses.
How Much is Enough? Improving Participatory Mapping Using Area Rarefaction Curves

description: Participatory mapping is a valuable approach for documenting the influence of human activities on species, ecosystems, and ecosystem services, as well as the variability of human activities over space and time. This method is particularly valuable in data-poor systems; however, there has never been a systematic approach for identifying the total number of respondents necessary to map the entire spatial extent of a particular human activity. Here, we develop a new technique for identifying sufficient respondent sample sizes for participatory mapping by adapting species rarefaction curves. With a case study from a heavily fished marine ecosystem in the central Philippines, we analyze participatory maps depicting locations of individuals’ fishing grounds across six decades. Within a specified area, we assessed how different sample sizes (i.e. small vs. large numbers of respondents) would influence the estimated extent of fishing for a specified area. The estimated extent of fishing demonstrated asymptotic behavior as after interviewing a sufficiently large number of individuals, additional respondents did not increase the estimated extent. We determined that 120 fishers were necessary to capture 90% of the maximum spatial extent of fishing within our study area from 1990 to 2010, equivalent to 1.1% of male fishers in the region. However, a higher number of elder fishers need to be interviewed to accurately map fishing extent in 1960 to 1980. Participatory maps can provide context for current ecosystem conditions and can support guidelines for management and conservation. Their utility is strengthened by better consideration of the impacts of respondent sample sizes and how this can vary over time for historical assessments.

description: Lo studio dei fenomeni naturali applicato alla progettazione architettonica e al design si confronta con la più affascinante ed inafferrabile delle quattro dimensioni attraverso cui l’uomo tenta di definire la vita nell’universo: quella del tempo. Tutti sappiamo che cosa è il tempo, diceva S.Agostino, ma nessuno sa come descriverlo. Nei disegni e nei progetti di architettura, il tempo raramente compare in forma esplicita. Questo saggio intende presentare gli esiti di una ricerca svolta dagli studenti di NABA e del Politecnico di Milano nel tentativo di considerare il tempo come elemento chiave del progetto di architettura, anche attraverso l’invenzione di strategie di disegno in grado di illustrare sulla superficie bidimensionale di un foglio di carta la particolare presenza del tempo.
description: The analysis of natural phenomena applied to architectural planning and design is facing the most fascinating and elusive of the four dimensions through which man attempts to define life within the universe: time. We all know what time is, said St. Augustine, but nobody knows how to describe it. Within architectural projects and representations, time rarely appears in explicit form. This paper presents the results of a research conducted by students of NABA and of the Polytechnic of Milan with the purpose of representing time considered as a key element within architectural projects. Student investigated new approaches and methodologies to represent time using the two-dimensional support of a sheet of paper.
The neo-liberal revolution and the regional state in Canada and Australia
Creators: name: McIntosh, Craig
name: Hayward, David
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper explores the role of regional governments in implementing radical neoliberal reforms during the 1990s. The Harris government in the province of Ontario, Canada, and the Kennett government in the state of Victoria, Australia, are used as case studies. In 1992 the Kennett government was elected to office in a landslide victory, and over the next seven years it cut 10% from government spending, embarked on Australia’s largest privatisation experiment that yielded more than A$30b in proceeds, deregulated the labour and property markets and retrenched over 75,000 public sector workers. In 1995 the Harris government was swept to office with a mandate to implement its manifesto for government: the ‘Common Sense Revolution’. This document, which was described in the National Post as a ‘chamber of commerce wish list’ (May 4, 1994: 15), consisted of a radical reform program of spending cuts, tax cuts and public service retrenchments. Over the next seven years Harris proceeded to implement this agenda, along the way redefining the role of the regional state in Ontario in much the same way as the Kennett government was doing, albeit on a more substantial scale. The question addressed by the paper is this: what are the social and political conditions that have made these sweeping reforms possible? Of particular interest to us is the explanation implicit and sometimes explicit in the existent literature that would have us believe that the rise of neo-liberalism is accompanied by a change in the mode of regulation: people’s values and beliefs shift decisively in ways that render the new regime of accumulation legitimate in their eyes. We ask the question: was this so? We show that in the case of Victoria, at least, it was not. This in turn begs the question of how, then, was the transformation achieved? We suggest that the answer is to be found in a theoretical approach that combines regulation theory with regime theory.

description: Representation of the city, according to dictates of classical literature and manuals, takes shape from studies about morphology and expressive language of the urban plot, in a deep connection between spaces, monuments and significant buildings. In the contemporary digital era, city can be described as a linkage of elements converging toward built environment's generation, following gathering procedures detectable by parameters. Present territorial planning can take advantage of these criteria, in order to simulate the evolving of urban realities and reach predictable or desirable development frontiers, using models made by computer software aimed to favour choices in managing and transforming the city. Parametric technologies make possible to embed information into urban digital models, intended as sort of data collectors browsable in real time.
description: La rappresentazione della città, secondo i dettami della manualistica e della letteratura classiche, si sviluppa attraverso lo studio della morfologia e del linguaggio espressivo della trama urbana, in stretta relazione con i monumenti e gli edifici significativi. Nell’era digitale contemporanea, la città può essere intesa come connessione di elementi concorrenti nella generazione dello spazio costruito, secondo logiche aggregative individuabili da parametri. L’attuale pianificazione del territorio può avvalersi di tali criteri, simulando realtà in divenire per seguire frontiere di sviluppo prevedibili od auspicabili, formalizzando modelli prodotti attraverso programmi di calcolo che coadiuvano le scelte progettuali di trasformazione e gestione della città. Le possibilità fornite dalle tecnologie parametriche consentono di associare informazione ai modelli digitali che possono così assumere la valenza di contenitori informativi consultabili in tempo reale.

description: La pousse de la mondialisation accroît l'importance de l'étude de son influence sur les politiques sportives des différents pays. La littérature affirme à cet égard que la mondialisation influence de plus en plus les politiques nationales, à tel point qu'il en résulte des déficits de souveraineté chez les États contemporains. Plus précisément, un des défis consiste à développer un cadre d'analyse et une méthodologie apte à mesurer l'influence des processus et des acteurs internationaux sur le développement des politiques sportives nationales. En utilisant une méthode d'analyse comparée, nous avons, d'une part, examiné les objectifs politiques de sport de quatre pays du Commonwealth et de six organismes supra-nationaux. D'autre part, nous avons analysé les instruments d'intervention utilisés par les États pour mettre en place ces objectifs. Notre analyse des objectifs politiques de sport démontre qu'il existe des relations entre la mondialisation, la régionalisation et le développement des politiques nationales de sport. De plus, notre étude des instruments d'intervention favorisés par les États laisse entrevoir que les processus de mise en place des politiques nationales de sport sont différents d'un État à l'autre et que ces processus sont influencés par différentes variables reliées à la société civile et à l'État. Finalement, l'analyse des politiques sur le dopage nous suggère que le pouvoir polycentrique semble affecter la souveraineté des États et des organismes supra-nationaux dans le développement ainsi que dans la mise en place des politiques de sport. Par conséquent, le rôle de l'État dans le sport semble se modifier, ouvrant la voie à une plus grande influence d'autres acteurs qui participent à la gouvemance du sport.

description: Key words for the future of the architectural heritage are network, memory, identity, use and communication. Public Cultural Institutions are in charge of set up and manage catalogues for cultural heritage that today has be designed according to digital standards and sharing resources on the web platforms. For this reason it is essential to provide an index of cultural heritage, enhancing existing databases, making them visible to general public, making them interoperate in a flexible way through the construction of multimedia information archives that can provide a structured and conscious use of available information. The stock information is the tool that allows to view on map cataloging data and to extract the information contained in the schedules of each architectural unity. From the map, in fact, there is direct access to the archives by making spatial and effectively usable to all users, the data stored. Documenting location, nature and quality of all cultural resources, through a culture based on a GIS also allows to provide information that can be used to support management decision and processes.
description: Le parole cardine per il futuro del patrimonio architettonico sono luogo, rete, memoria, identità, fruizione e comunicazione. Le principali istituzioni culturali si occupano di creare e gestire cataloghi del patrimonio culturale che  oggi diventano sovente archivi consultabili attraverso la rete. Dal punto di vista strategico la documentazione dei beni culturali deve costruire la base operativa e strumentale per valorizzare le banche dati esistenti, rendendole visibili al grande pubblico, facendole interoperare in modo flessibile attraverso la costruzione di archivi informativi  multimediali in grado di fornire una fruizione consapevole e strutturata delle varie informazioni disponibili. Gli  archivi informativi sono infatti lo strumento che consente di visualizzare sulla mappa i dati della catalogazione e di estrarre le informazioni contenute nelle schede di ciascun bene architettonico. Dalla mappa, infatti, si accede  direttamente agli archivi alfanumerici e geografici rendendo fattivamente utilizzabili, a tutti gli utenti, i dati archiviati. Documentare la posizione, la natura e la qualità di tutte le risorse culturali, attraverso una cultura basata su un GIS permette anche di fornire informazioni che possono essere utilizzate per supportare i processi decisionali.
Synthetic approaches towards dendrimeric catalysts.

Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Organic.

description: This thesis describes the different synthetic routes carried out towards a dendritic catalyst. Various dendrimers were investigated as possible starting points for the exterior portion of the catalyst. These dendrimers were synthesised as well as their modified versions. The attachment of a phosphine-containing moiety was thought to be crucial for high activity of these catalysts, in the hydroformylation of olefins. Different methods were investigated to affect the incorporation of a bis-phosphine. The tetra-phosphine, 4,5-bis(bis[{diphenyl-phosphanyl}methyl]aminomethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-[1,3]dioxolane, and the bis-phosphine, N,N'-Bis-(2-benzyloxyethyl)- N,N'-bis[(diphenylphosphanyl)methyl]-ethane-1,2-diamine, were both synthesised and their rhodium(I) complexes were used successfully in the hydroformylation of m different olefins. Suggested pathways to bring together these exterior and interior pieces were then investigated. During the synthesis of one of the core units a phosphine oxide compound, (diphenylphosphinoyl)phenyl-methanol was prepared. This compound is an excellent ligand in rhodium-catalysed hydroformylation reactions. As the phosphine oxide contained a chiral centre, it was resolved and employed in the enantioselecove hyrdoformylation reactions of olefinic substrates.

I principi progettuali sui beni culturali.

description: This paper focuses on the approaches that should be considered while designing a new building in historical site, proposing an addition to an historical house or dealing with restoration of listed buildings. Yet in historical sites we quite often find new buildings or additions to old ones that obey all those official rules and requirements sometimes almost with scientific precision and still manage to produce and outcome, which is not in keeping with the character of their neighbours. Another point, which regards the articulation of facades and pertains to some fundamental design principles, is the notion of visiostructural reinforcement, which John Smylie has eloquently described. Considering architecture a craft rather than art and departing from the notion of visiostructural reinforcement we can promote harmony and diminuishing conflicts.
description: Il saggio illustra gli approcci che devono essere considerati quando si progetta un nuovo edificio in un contesto storico, quando si propone un’estensione di un edificio storico o si interviene su edifici vincolati. Nei siti storici si trovano spesso nuovi interventi che anche se seguono le indicazioni scientifiche per il restauro e il recupero di aree storiche però non dialogano con i caratteri dei luoghi. Un altro punto, che riguarda la composizione delle facciate, è la nozione di consolidamento strutturale che adotta nuove opere a vista e che John Smylie ha descritto. Considerando l’architettura una pratica artigianale e artistica e abbandonando i concetti di Smylie è possibile promuovere maggiore armonizzazione diminuendo i conflitti che i nuovi interventi causano.
Duration of oral anticoagulation in first-episode idiopathic deep vein thrombosis: A Markov decision analysis.

Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Medicine and Surgery.

description: Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremity is a serious illness with an estimated incidence of 1 per 1000 persons per year. Objectives. To compare the lifetime risks and benefits of three months, six months, twelve months, two years, and lifelong anticoagulation for first episode idiopathic DVT. Secondary objectives were to assess quality of life for patients on warfarin therapy for DVT and for patients with post-thrombosic syndrome. A third objective was to determine if quality of life for these two health states differed between patients and healthy volunteers. Methods. Decision analysis with a Markov model was used to simulate patients with first episode idiopathic DVT who would be treated with durations of therapy ranging from three months to lifelong. The probabilities of clinical events were extracted from a systematic review of the literature on duration of therapy for DVT as well as rates of bleeding secondary to anticoagulant therapy and rates of developing post-thrombotic syndrome. Utilities for each of the associated health outcomes were elicited from patients and healthy volunteers using a computerized interview. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: L’interesse verso la zona del Jabal Nafusah, nella Libia nord occidentale, nasce dalla volontà di studiare un sistema di insediamenti e di trasformazioni del paesaggio che per caratteristiche ed esiti formali rappresentano un unicum all’interno del Maghreb. Il lavoro presentato, diviso in quattro sezioni, si propone come un possibile metodo di lettura delle forme urbane e delle architetture che le hanno generate, attraverso lo studio delle tre città berbere di Nalut, Cabao, Ulad Mahmud. Tre casi di studio significativi analizzati mediante gli strumenti del disegno e dell’analisi grafica con lo scopo di comprenderne l’organizzazione logica delle configurazioni e verificarne la continuità territoriale. L’obiettivo è quello di creare una sequenza storico/analitica che partendo dagli oggetti architettonici più minuti, i più vicini alla scala umana per struttura e dimensione, proceda fino all’estensione urbana e territoriale. Un metodo di analisi induttivo che seppur limitato ad una porzione circoscritta dà vita ad un valido processo di interpretazione formale.
description: Interest in the Jabal Nafusah Mountain, in the north-eastern part of Libya, arises from the desire to study a system of settlements and landscape transformations which are unique to the Maghreb territory characteristics. The goal of this research is to propose a reading method for the urban structure and architectural forms, by the analysis of three models of settlement: Nalut, Cabao, Ulad Mahamud. These three significant study cases are analyzed by graphic and historical instruments with the purpose of under standing and verifying configuration and territorial continuity. The aim is to create an analytic sequence which starts from the territory with minimal architectural objects and extends to those nearest to the human scale of structure and dimensions, allowing us to understand the relations among the landscape, the history and the city formation.
Eulerian space-time correlations in turbulent shear flows

description: This paper is concerned with the generic form of space–time correlations of instantaneous velocity fluctuations in turbulent shear flows. The study has as its basis the Kovasznay–Corrsin conjecture modified to account for inhomogeneities. Details of the modifications were dictated by comparison with direct numerical simulations of turbulent channel flow. For example, analysis of the simulations shows that the space–time correlations at optimal delay depict, when appropriately normalized, a form independent of turbulence component. It is also evident that the half width of the correlation grows, in the outer region of the layer, like Vn11, while the Lagrangian time scale grows like Vn, where 2,n,3 and V is the mean convection velocity. The resulting generic form for the space–time correlation captures these effects well and brings to light a Reynolds number effect that is most evident in the tail of the correlations at nonoptimal delay.

description: Le tecnologie visuali, e il disegno in particolare, mirano spesso a documentare gli impatti di interventi futuri, essendo esse, per natura, dei mezzi di comunicazione equiparabili al linguaggio, e dunque preposti a descrivere e dimostrare ciò che sta accadendo. Il disegno è, da sempre, il linguaggio universalmente valido e conosciuto: questa sua peculiarità deve far riflettere sulle sue potenzialità. Se da un lato ha la valenza di strumento chiarificatore dall’altro può essere visto come supporto e mezzo preventivo a un miglioramento di interventi futuri, architettonici o ambientali. Come i pittori, da Cimabue a Giotto, da Mantegna a Leonardo, a Raffaello, hanno creato con le loro tele, elevando il livello artistico e culturale del tempo, o i grandi architetti, da Palladio a Bramante fino a Le Corbusier hanno costruito con i loro progetti, così il disegno, material prima di pittori, di architetti, o di chiunque si accinga a realizzare un’idea in fieri, deve assumersi la responsabilità e il compito di “essere un bel disegno”, per migliorare ciò che più riguarda l’uomo: l’ambiente in cui vive.
description: Visual technologies, and drawing in particular, are often aimed at documenting the impact of future interventions. As language, they are by nature communication media and therefore capable to describe and demonstrate what is happening. Drawing has always been the language universally recognized: this feature should let us reflect on its potential value. It is not only a tool to clarify but also it could be considered as an instrument to support and improve future interventions, being them architectonic or environmental. As painters – Cimabue, Giotto, Mantegna, Leonardo and Raffaello – have created their canvass, or as famous architects – Palladio, Bramante and Le Corbusier – have built their projects, heightening the artistic and cultural level of the historical periods in which they were living, similarly drawing, which represents raw material for painters, architects or whoever would like to realize an idea, should necessarily correspond to “a good drawing”, in order to improve one of the most important concern for human beings: the environment in which they live.

description: The current dissertation is comprised of two studies that examined the relationship between group dynamics, attachment anxiety, and post-treatment outcomes in a sample of women (N = 102) with binge eating disorder (BED) who received Group Psychodynamic Interpersonal Psychotherapy. The first study explored the relationship between the development of group cohesion, the individuals’ level of attachment anxiety, and frequency of binge eating, symptoms of depression, and self-esteem at post-treatment. The second study explored the relationship between the interpersonal learning, individuals’ level of attachment anxiety, and outcomes. Interpersonal learning was conceptualized as the convergence between multiple perspectives of group cohesion: one’s own and the group’s perception of one’s cohesion to the group. Parallel measures of individual self-rated cohesion (CQ-I) and mean group-rated cohesion (CQ-G) were developed based on the original Cohesion Questionnaire (CQ; Piper et al., 1983) for this study. Participants were assigned to homogeneous groups composed of either high or low attachment anxiety to assess the impact of pre-treatment attachment anxiety. Findings indicated significant growth in cohesion over time, and a significant convergence in multiple ratings of cohesion. These processes did not differ significantly based on level of attachment anxiety. Growth in cohesion was related to greater reductions in binge eating for those high in attachment anxiety, while the convergence in ratings of cohesion (i.e., interpersonal learning) was related to improvements in self-esteem for individuals in both attachment anxiety conditions. The findings support the importance of group interventions for BED that are sensitive to individuals’ attachment anxiety, and that emphasize cohesiveness, and interpersonal learning to improve outcomes.

description: Background: Interventions that work must be effectively delivered at scale to achieve population level benefits. Researchers must choose among a vast array of implementation frameworks (> 60) that guide design and evaluation of implementation and scale-up processes. Therefore, we sought to recommend conceptual frameworks that can be used to design, inform, and evaluate implementation of physical activity (PA) and nutrition interventions at different stages of the program life cycle. We also sought to recommend a minimum data set of implementation outcome and determinant variables (indicators) as well as measures and tools deemed most relevant for PA and nutrition researchers. Methods: We adopted a five-round modified Delphi methodology. For rounds 1, 2, and 3 we administered online surveys to PA and nutrition implementation scientists to generate a rank order list of most commonly used; i) implementation and scale-up frameworks, ii) implementation indicators, and iii) implementation and scale-up measures and tools. Measures and tools were excluded after round 2 as input from participants was very limited. For rounds 4 and 5, we conducted two in-person meetings with an expert group to create a shortlist of implementation and scale-up frameworks, identify a minimum data set of indicators and to discuss application and relevance of frameworks and indicators to the field of PA and nutrition. Results: The two most commonly referenced implementation frameworks were the Framework for Effective Implementation and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. We provide the 25 most highly ranked implementation indicators reported by those who participated in rounds 1–3 of the survey. From these, the expert group created a recommended minimum data set of implementation determinants (n = 10) and implementation outcomes (n = 5) and reconciled differences in commonly used terms and definitions. Conclusions: Researchers are confronted with myriad options when conducting implementation and scale-up evaluations. Thus, we identified and prioritized a list of frameworks and a minimum data set of indicators that have potential to improve the quality and consistency of evaluating implementation and scale-up of PA and nutrition interventions. Advancing our science is predicated upon increased efforts to develop a common ‘language’ and adaptable measures and tools.

description: Cervical cancer (CECA) and ovarian cancer (OVCA) rank first and third in the number of new cases diagnosed among gynecologic cancers，and chemoresistance severely limits their treatment success. The underlying mechanism of chemoresistance is multi-factorial and partly due to defects in drug-induced apoptosis. Cisplatinum (CDDP) -induced, p53-mediated mitochondrial cell death is controlled by Akt and is a determinant of chemosensitivity in gynecologic cancer cells. Mitochondria dynamics (fusion and fission) are involved in the regulation of mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. The tumor suppressor prohibitin 1 (Phb1) is involved in long from Opa1 (L-Opa1) processing and p53-regulated apoptosis. Whether mitochondrial fusion protein Opa1 and its protease Oma1 as well as Phb1 are involved in the regulation of chemoresistance in CECA and OVCA cells are not known. The overall objective of my research is to increase the current understanding on the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics and on its role in chemoresistance in gynecologic cancer cells. We hypothesize that CDDP induces Phb1 binding to phosphorylated p53 (p-p53) and Bak, resulting in Bak activation and mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP). These responses also induce Oma1-mediated Opa1 processing, mitochondrial fragmentation and apoptosis but are inhibited by high Akt level in chemoresistant cells. Here we present evidence that CDDP induces Oma1 activation, L-Opa1 processing and mitochondrial fragmentation in chemosensitive but not in chemoresistant cells. Silencing p53 expression attenuated CDDP-induced L-Opa1 loss, mitochondrial fragmentation and apoptosis in chemosensitive cells, while reconstitution of p53 in p53-deficient (mutant or null) chemoresistant cells induced Oma1 activation, L-Opa1 processing and changes in mitochondrial dynamics irrespective of the presence of CDDP. In response to CDDP, p-p53 (ser15) dissociates Phb1 from Opa1-Phb1 complex and binds to Bak in chemosensitive but not chemoresistant cells. Inhibition of Akt is required for CDDP to induce L-Opa1 processing, mitochondrial fragmentation and apoptosis in chemoresistant cells. Our study suggests a mechanism that p53 regulates L-Opa1 processing and mitochondrial fragmentation in chemosensitive cells induced by CDDP, while this pathway is suppressed in chemoresistant cells. Dysregulated mitochondrial dynamics may in part be involved in the pathophysiology of CDDP resistance. Inhibiting Akt activity and inducing Opa1 processing may serve as novel therapeutic strategies for these gynecologic cancers.
