description: Digital marketing has revolutionised the way businesses engage with consumers by leveraging digital technologies such as the Internet, mobile devices, and social media. As digital platforms become more embedded in marketing strategies and consumer habits, businesses increasingly rely on digital marketing to enhance their outreach and efficiency. This paper explores the conceptual framework of digital marketing, its impact on modern business strategies, and practical examples of its implementation. The study highlights how businesses can use digital marketing to expand their market presence, optimise sales processes, and improve customer engagement. Additionally, it examines the role of emerging technologies and customer-centric approaches in shaping the future of digital marketing. By analysing key digital marketing strategies, this paper provides insights for businesses, researchers, and marketers seeking to enhance their visibility and effectiveness in the digital landscape.

description: We report measurements of the normal state in-plane magnetoconductance in gated LaAlO$_3$-SrTiO$_3$ samples. As the orientation of the magnetic field changes within the plane of the interface, the signal displays periodic oscillations with respect to the angle between the field and the direction of the current. We show that in the underdoped to optimally doped range, a Fermi surface reconstruction takes place due to the Rashba spin-orbit term and that the oscillations are due to a magnetic field induced opening and closing of a gap at the $Γ$ point for those Ti out-of-plane orbitals having their band minimum close to the Fermi energy of the system.

description: We investigate the collider signatures of the multiple goldstini scenario in the framework of gauge mediation. This class of models is characterized by a visible sector (e.g. the MSSM or any extension) coupled by gauge interactions to more than one SUSY breaking sector. The spectrum consists of a light gravitino LSP, behaving as a goldstino, and a number of neutral fermions (the pseudo-goldstini) with a mass between that of the LSP and that of the lightest particle of the observable sector (LOSP). We consider the two situations where the LOSP is either a gaugino-like neutralino or a stau and we assume only one pseudo-goldstino of a mass of O(100) GeV. The coupling of the LOSP to the pseudo-goldstino can be enhanced with respect to those of the gravitino giving rise to characteristic signatures. We show that the decay modes of the LOSP into a SM particle and a pseudo-goldstino can be significant. For both LOSP scenarios we analyze (pseudo)-goldstini production at colliders. Compared to standard gauge mediation the final state spectrum is softer and more structured.

description: Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process in a plasma that facilitates the release of energy stored in the magnetic field by permitting a change in the magnetic topology. In this article we present a review of the current state of understanding of magnetic reconnection. We discuss theoretical results regarding the formation of current sheets in complex 3D magnetic fields, and describe the fundamental differences between reconnection in two and three dimensions. We go on to outline recent developments in modelling of reconnection with kinetic theory, as well as in the MHD framework where a number of new 3D reconnection regimes have been identified. We discuss evidence from observations and simulations of solar system plasmas that support this theory, and summarise some prominent locations in which this new reconnection theory is relevant in astrophysical plasmas.

Following the philosophy of the Harrington-Shepard construction of calorons in Yang-Mills theory, we obtain the n-lump solutions on compact spaces by suitably arranging the n-lumps on R^2 at equal intervals. We examine the modular invariance of the solutions and find that there are no modular invariant solutions for n=1,2 in this construction.

description: This thesis reports on a study of seasonal employment in the tourist industry of Devon and Cornwall. The study is based upon official data, employer interviews and interviews with seasonal workers in eight organisations during the Su7n r of 1983. In the Summer months, the tourist industry is of considerable importance in the area both from a general economic point of view as well as a provider of employment. The real benefit of seasonal employment is, however, questioned sirce such large groups of people are left without work during the Winter months. Furthermore, working conditions for seasonal workers are poor from all points of view: working time, pay, training opportunities, Job security and promotion possibilities. High unemployment in the labour market and the personal characteristics of the sample makes for difficulties in obtaining more permanent work. Low expectations, aspirations and self-confidence towards work thus reflect a realistic attitude within this group, mostly working seasonally on a regular basis. Working conditions, prospects and the personal characteristics of the workers suggest that seasonal workers are firmly in a secondary position in the labour market. The sample suggests seasonal work more often being undertaken by women and that there are skews towards the younger and older age groups. The relatively high skill level of the sample indicates discrimination on the basis of ascriptive characteristics. Personal resources and the lack of worker collectives provide few opportunities for change. This is made more serious through seasonal work being largely hidden in statistics and unregistered by official agencies. Generally employment legislation and statutory rights are made with either the permanent worker or the fully unemployed in mind. For employers, this situation provides for a malleable, cheaý and flexible labour force that can be tapped- and untapped at will. Although working conditions are not necessarily better during an economic boom, recession ensures that the labour reserve willing to work under such conditions is large. With continued recession, the incentives for cost-conscious employers to make use of cheap and flexible labour through casual or temporary employment may increase in a range of employment situations such as education, home-working and sub-contracting. Both public policy suggestions and employer incentives encourage such a trend. Although there are problems with generalising too widely from the data here, some effects of temporary or casual work contracts would apply universally. The study has taken a small step towards identifying such effects.

description: Configuration space integrals have in recent years been used for studying the cohomology of spaces of (string) knots and links in $\mathbb{R}^n$ for $n>3$ since they provide a map from a certain differential algebra of diagrams to the deRham complex of differential forms on the spaces of knots and links. We refine this construction so that it now applies to the space of homotopy string links -- the space of smooth maps of some number of copies of $\mathbb{R}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with fixed behavior outside a compact set and such that the images of the copies of $\R$ are disjoint -- even for $n=3$. We further study the case $n=3$ in degree zero and show that our integrals represent a universal finite type invariant of the space of classical homotopy string links. As a consequence, we obtain configuration space integral expressions for Milnor invariants of string links.

Developmental consequences of imprinted transcription at the Mest locus
Creators: name: MacIsaac, Julia Lynn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The Mest locus is regulated by genomic imprinting in mammals and only the paternally inherited allele is expressed. A targeted mutation at this locus revealed that it plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic growth and adult behavior. The Mest locus is located in a conserved imprinted domain on mouse chromosome 6 where it is thought to play a key role in the regulation of neighboring maternally expressed genes Copg2 and Klf14 since it contains the only potential imprinting center (IC) identified thus far in this domain, a differentially methylated region (DMR) methylated in oogenesis. Here we describe new larger isoforms of the Mest mRNA, referred to as MestXL, that are generated via alternative polyadenylation and transcribed more than 10kb into the adjacent antisense gene Copg2 exclusively in the developing central nervous system. The MestXL isoforms appear to regulate the allelic usage at Copg2, but not at Klf14, in embryonic neural tissues, as Copg2 is preferentially maternally expressed only in these tissues presumably due to transcriptional interference from MestXL on the paternal chromosome. Our results therefore establish the Mest DMR as an IC and propose a new mechanism to regulate allelic usage and imprinting at sense-antisense gene pairs in mammalian genomes, via tissue-specific alternative polyadenylation and transcriptional interference. Imprinted transcription at the Mest locus also produces a microRNA, miR-335, that acts to down-regulate target genes via binding to their 3’UTRs and ultimately repressing their translation. Here we show that production of miR-335 is imprinted and that its levels are reduced from the mutant MestKO allele. Additionally, we identify several candidate target genes of miR-335 by RNA-seq analysis on primary mouse fibroblasts that under-express miR-335. Our investigation of MestXL and miR-335, two unique alternative functions of the Mest locus, demonstrates that the Mest locus is involved in two types of RNA-mediated regulation and ultimately contributes to the understanding of genomic imprinting and microRNAs in mammalian biology.

Wise knowledge of Historiography as idiographic-hermeneutic social science and didactic knowledge organized from pedagogy are juxtaposed. For this reason, we created a qualitative research design from instrumental studies of cases with the purpose of describing the process of didactic transposition and didactic knowledge of disciplinary content of History teaching in vulnerable high schools from Araucania Region in the South of Chile. The theoretical and methodological approaches used were: The Constant Comparative Method (CCM) and the Methodological Triangulation of Techniques (MTT).  The sampling was constituted by teachers who teach History in High Schools. The data analysis was developed through open coding from which emerged five categories: a) Difficulties in teaching practice, b) material and human resources, c) planning and evaluation strategies, d) teaching-learning strategies, e) requirements and characteristics.

description: We investigate the magnetotransport in large area graphene Hall bars epitaxially grown on silicon carbide. In the intermediate field regime between weak localization and Landau quantization the observed temperature-dependent parabolic magnetoresistivity (MR) is a manifestation of the electron-electron interaction (EEI). We can consistently describe the data with a model for diffusive (magneto)transport that also includes magnetic-field dependent effects originating from ballistic time scales. We find an excellent agreement between the experimentally observed temperature dependence of MR and the theory of EEI in the diffusive regime. We can further assign a temperature-driven crossover to the reduction of the multiplet modes contributing to EEI from 7 to 3 due to intervalley scattering. In addition, we find a temperature independent ballistic contribution to the MR in classically strong magnetic fields.

description: This article presents some of the results of the Ministerial Initiative Cl@ssi 2.0 in the Emilia Romagna Region. Having described the reference field in which the scaffolding action of the research group of the University of Bologna, coordinated by Prof. Luigi Guerra, is positioned, the paper presents the coaching model through which the design and documentation of the teaching practices adopted in schools was supported. Analysing the experiences of the ER classes, we have identified eight project themes, subsequently modelled on two levels: the didactic modelling of the experiences (construction of interpretation hypotheses); and the construction of a themes/models map (checking/adapting the hypotheses, experimentation) through which each school was able to describe and publish processes, products, etc. which characterised their specific project experience. The paper concludes with a series of general reflections on the three years' work.

description: We consider rotating superfluid pionic liquid, with superfluidity being induced by isospin chemical potential. The rotation is known to result in a chiral current flowing along the axis of the rotation. We argue that in case of superfluidity the chiral current is realized on fermionic zero modes propagating along vortices. The current evaluated in this way differs by a factor of two from the standard one. The reason is that the chiral charge is carried by zero modes which propagate with speed of light, and thus the liquid cannot be described by a single (local) velocity, like it is assumed in standard derivations.

description: Cosmological data have provided new constraints on the number of neutrino species and the neutrino mass. However these constraints depend on assumptions related to the underlying cosmology. Since a correlation is expected between the number of effective neutrinos N_{eff}, the neutrino mass \sum m_ν, and the curvature of the universe Ω_k, it is useful to investigate the current constraints in the framework of a non-flat universe. In this paper we update the constraints on neutrino parameters by making use of the latest cosmic microwave background (CMB) data from the ACT and SPT experiments and consider the possibility of a universe with non-zero curvature. We first place new constraints on N_{eff} and Ω_k, with N_{eff} = 4.03 +/- 0.45 and 10^3 Ω_k = -4.46 +/- 5.24. Thus, even when Ω_k is allowed to vary, N_{eff} = 3 is still disfavored with 95% confidence. We then investigate the correlation between neutrino mass and curvature that shifts the 95% upper limit of \sum m_ν< 0.45 eV to \sum m_ν< 0.95 eV. Thus, the impact of assuming flatness in neutrino cosmology is significant and an essential consideration with future experiments.

Strangers by sea : crafting of a "well-grounded" fear
Creators: name: Manson, Daniel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: It has become commonplace for asylum seekers in Canada to be represented by politicians and popular media as bogus refugees out to abuse the generosity of Canadians. This process has involved the inversion of the notion that the risk faced by asylum seekers warrants state protection. Instead it is the asylum seeker that is presented as a risky border crosser, often provoking renewed state and public interest in fortifying Canadian borders. This thesis will argue that ‘fear’ has played a crucial role in discursively rendering certain asylum seekers as embodiments of risk that warrant transformative and decisive forms of state intervention. Tracing the public debates that ensued following the mass arrival in Canada of 492 Tamil migrants aboard the MV Sun Sea in August, 2010 I will suggest that asylum seekers have become objects of fear that render material anxieties about the supposed permeability of Canadian borders, sovereignty and the meanings of citizenship. Specifically, I will locate these anxieties in the discursive construction of these asylum seekers as “terrorists,” “smugglers,” and otherwise “bogus refugees” at the intersection between public media and state policy. By highlighting the ways these labels become discursively attached to the bodies of a particular group of migrants I seek to displace the idea that securitization is a coherent product of state practices. Rather I argue that the public debates over what the bodies of these migrants mean signifies that securitization is deeply contingent on how Canadian citizens are affected by the arrival of the Sun Sea.

description: In un’epoca di grande pressione sugli ecosistemi naturali, l’uso del territorio per la conservazione della biodiversità, il recupero funzionale degli ecosistemi più degradati e di sistemi produttivi che si coniughino alle esigenze di biodiversità, hanno un ruolo strategico di primaria importanza per assicurare la sostenibilità delle risorse. La biodiversità è tutto ciò che abbiamo. Biodiversità è ossigeno, cibo, medicine, risorse economiche, resilienza e adattamento ai cambiamenti naturali, così come a quelli indotti dalle attività umane. Un mondo senza uccelli, insetti, prati, aree umide o boschi non sosterebbe la popolazione umana esistente, e certamente non renderebbe possibile la ripresa economica che tutti ci auspichiamo. Abbiamo chiesto agli studenti del corso di “Ecosistemi, habitat protetti e ripristini ambientali” della Laurea Magistrale in “Progettazione e gestione degli ecosistemi agro-territoriali, forestali e del paesaggio” dell’Alma Mater Studiorum, Università degli Studi di Bologna, di fare un esercizio teorico-pratico sulla base di questa prospettiva e cioè di elaborare progetti di ripristino ambientale, conservazione della natura, e uso sostenibile delle risorse. Gli studenti hanno risposto con grande serietà ed entusiasmo a questa proposta formativa. Sono loro gli ideatori, interlocutori e anche i beneficiari dei progetti che vengono presentati in questo booklet. In alcuni casi hanno ritenuto opportuno coinvolgere la cittadinanza e le associazioni di volontariato locali per poter sviluppare i loro progetti sulla base delle esigenze dei fruitori di queste aree. Queste sono vere e proprie azioni di Citizen Science che integrano l’uso sostenibile dell’ambiente con le esigenze economiche e della società, e forniscono una prova della professionalità acquisita dai ragazzi in questo percorso. Nell’elaborazione dei progetti i ragazzi sono stati affiancati e stimolati da esperti e professionisti di vari settori che hanno permesso di indirizzare l’esercizio teorico necessario per il sostenimento dell’esame alle esigenze specifiche e attuali dei territori studiati. Con questo booklet desideriamo far conoscere agli addetti ai lavori, enti di gestione, aree protette, comuni, regioni, ai proprietari delle aree scelte come modello per l’esercizio progettuale e alla cittadinanza, i progetti sviluppati nei loro territori. Possono servire come spunto per la pianificazione e la gestione dei territori specifici, ma esprimono anche la necessità dei nostri ragazzi di un ambiente fatto di natura e biodiversità

description: Present-day massive galaxies are composed mostly of early-type objects. It is unknown whether this was also the case at higher redshifts. In a hierarchical assembling scenario the morphological content of the massive population is expected to change with time from disk-like objects in the early Universe to spheroid-like galaxies at present. In this paper we have probed this theoretical expectation by compiling a large sample of massive (M_{stellar}>10^{11} h_{70}^{-2} M_{Sun}$) galaxies in the redshift interval 0 < z < 3. Our sample of 1082 objects comprises 207 local galaxies selected from SDSS plus 875 objects observed with the HST belonging to the POWIR/DEEP2 and GNS surveys. 639 of our objects have spectroscopic redshifts. Our morphological classification is performed as close as possible to the optical restframe according to the photometric bands available in our observations both quantitatively (using the Sersic index as a morphological proxy) and qualitative (by visual inspection). Using both techniques we find an enormous change on the dominant morphological class with cosmic time. The fraction of early-type galaxies among the massive galaxy population has changed from ~20-30% at z~3 to ~70% at z=0. Early type galaxies have been the predominant morphological class for massive galaxies since only z~1.

description: Language not only constitutes but also restricts communicative actions. Words, phrases, and terms routinely used by native speakers to refer to communication practices reveal profound meanings about the culture under study. These terms are defined as cultural terms, which are meta-language used by native speakers to characterize communication practices that are significant to them. This paper explores the meaning and the social practice of a Mandarin cultural term, sajiao, a babyish form of persuasion. The framework derived from the tradition of ethnography of communication examines how sajiao is understood as a gender indicator and how femininity is talked and performed in the Mandarin-speaking community, Taiwan. The study discusses the importance of language in understanding gender, and the necessity to include the analyses of everyday language in gender education.
description: Il linguaggio costituisce ma, al tempo stesso, vincola le azioni comunicative. Le parole, le frasi, i termini che i parlanti nativi utilizzano normalmente per riferirsi alle loro pratiche comunicative sono indicatori di significato rispetto alla cultura oggetto di studio. Questi termini di riferimento sono “termini culturali”, espressioni metalinguistiche utilizzate per riferirsi a, e connotare le pratiche comunicative rilevanti per i parlanti. Questo articolo esplora il significato del termine culturale sajiao che in mandarino indica una forma infantilizzata di persuasione, ossia una specifica pratica sociale. Il quadro teoretico di riferimento si inscrive all’interno della tradizione dell’etnografia della comunicazione. All’interno di questo quadro, l’articolo esamina i modi con cui sajiao viene interpretato (i.e. come un indicatore di genere) e come la femminilità viene detta e agita in una comunità di parlanti mandarino a Taiwan. L’articolo evidenzia l’importanza dello studio del linguaggio nella comprensione del genere e la necessità di includere una analisi del linguaggio di tutti i giorni nell’educazione al genere.

description: Starting from the notion of learnification (crafted by Gert Biesta), understood as the prevalence of the language of learning over that of education within the educational discourse of the last three decades, it is argued that such an emphasis on learning has been one of the reasons for the hegemony of the constructivist paradigm in educational practices. Against this backdrop, the present paper endeavours to identify a possible horizon of a re-thinking of constructivism thanks to a recovery of the idea of paideía, in the peculiar meaning provided by Heidegger. By contrasting the Heideggerian reflection on education (marked by a privilege granted to original intentionality, to the link between alétheia and paideía, and to a specific interpretation of Verstehen) and the educational proposal of von Glasersfeld (of which solipsistic risks and a solidarity with the mathematical project of modernity are highlighted), this paper portrays the profile of a ‘pragmatic paideía’ which can allow us to overcome some excesses of constructivism as well as to situate in a right perspective the recent appeals to ‘reality’ occurring in the international theoretical debate.
description: Prendendo le mosse dalla nozione di learnification, intesa, con Gert Biesta, come la prevalenza del linguaggio dell’apprendimento su quello dell’educazione nel discorso pedagogico dell’ultimo trentennio, l’articolo argomenta che tale enfasi sull’apprendimento sia stato uno dei motivi dell’egemonia del paradigma costruttivista nelle pratiche educative e mira a individuare un orizzonte possibile di ripensamento del costruttivismo alla luce di un recupero dell’idea di paideía, nella declinazione particolare a essa conferita da Heidegger. Proprio da un confronto fra la riflessione sull’educazione di Heidegger (con il privilegiamento della intenzionalità originaria, del nesso alétheia-paideía, di una specifica interpretazione del Verstehen) e la proposta pedagogica di von Glasersfeld (di cui si palesano i rischi solipsistici e la solidarietà col progetto matematico della modernità), l’articolo disegna il profilo di una ‘paideía pragmatica’ che consenta tanto di superare alcune oltranze del costruttivismo quanto di collocare in una giusta prospettiva i recenti richiami ‘alla realtà’ presenti nel dibattito teorico internazionale.
