description: The galaxy stellar-to-halo mass relation (SHMR) is nearly time-independent for $z < 4$. We therefore construct a time-independent SHMR model for central galaxies, wherein the in-situ star formation rate (SFR) is determined by the halo mass accretion rate (MAR), which we call Stellar-Halo Accretion Rate Coevolution (SHARC). We show that the $\sim0.3$ dex dispersion of the halo MAR matches the observed dispersion of the SFR on the star-formation main sequence (MS). In the context of "bathtub"-type models of galaxy formation, SHARC leads to mass-dependent constraints on the relation between SFR and MAR. Despite its simplicity and the simplified treatment of mass growth from mergers, the SHARC model is likely to be a good approximation for central galaxies with $M_*=10^9- 10^{10.5}M_\odot$ that are on the MS, representing most of the star formation in the Universe. SHARC predictions agree with observed SFRs for galaxies on the MS at low redshifts, agree fairly well at $z\sim4$, but exceed observations at $z>4$. Assuming that the interstellar gas mass is constant for each galaxy (the "equilibrium condition" in bathtub models), the SHARC model allows calculation of net mass loading factors for inflowing and outflowing gas. With assumptions about preventive feedback based on simulations, SHARC allows calculation of galaxy metallicity evolution. If galaxy SFRs indeed track halo MARs, especially at low redshifts, that may help explain the success of models linking galaxy properties to halos (including age-matching) and the similarities between two-halo galaxy conformity and halo mass accretion conformity.

description: Management and prevention of sharps and needlestick injuries in nursing students. Aim:Investigate the knowledge, the personal perception of risk and describe the epidemiology of sharps and needlestick injuries in nursing students during clinical placements developing a validated questionnaire. Design: a cross-sectional observational study. Methods: a self-administered questionnaire consisting of three sections (demographic data; injury epidemiology; and predictive factors of sharps and needlestick injuries) was developed. Data were collected between July 2018 - January 2019 from nursing students during their clinical placements. Content validity was assessed by a panel of experts, who scored each item on a 4-point Likert scale. This study followed the STROBE guidelines. Results: Of the 238 participants, 39% had been injured at least once with a sharp or a needle, of which 67.3% in the second year. A higher perception of ?Personal exposure? (4.06, SD 3.78) was reported by third-year students, whereas higher scores for ?Perceived benefits? of implementing preventive behaviours (13.63, SD 1.46) were reported by second-year students. Conclusion Our findings on the prevalence of sharps and needlestick injuries were in line with the literature. The questionnaire effectively investigated the epidemiology of occupational needlestick and sharps injuries, and knowledge and risk perception in nursing students.

description: Most measures of dyspnea assess a single aspect (intensity or distress) of the symptom. We developed the Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile (MDP) to measure qualities and intensities of the sensory dimension and components of the affective dimension. The MDP is not indexed to a particular activity and can be applied at rest, during exertion, or during clinical care. We report on the development and testing of the MDP in patients with a variety of acute and chronic cardiopulmonary conditions.

description: Abstract: This research surveys how parasocial interaction (PSI) affects the leadership effectiveness of nonprofit organizations (NPOs) on social media. Literature review survey derivation and propositions were proposed. The findings showed parasocial interaction mediates the impact of NPOs social media credibility (which includes reliability, credibility, and attractiveness of the information source) on NPOs' effectiveness (community Identification and citizenship behavior). This implies that parasocial interaction is crucial for nonprofit organizational effectiveness on social media and proposes NPOs’ social media engagement strategies.
POST-TRANSPLANT NIVOLUMAB PLUS UNSELECTED AUTOLOGOUS LYMPHOCYTES IN REFRACTORY HODGKIN LYMPHOMA PATIENTS: A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE THERAPY ASSOCIATED WITH EXPANSION AND MATURATION OF NK CELLS

description: Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) is a B-Cell neoplasia with a favourable outcome in responding patients. However, despite the efficacy of first line therapy about 30% of patients eventually relapse or are refractory (R/R). Recently, the immune checkpoint inhibitor (CI) nivolumab demonstrated good activity in R/R HL patients although the complete response (CR) rate was less than 20%. The efficacy of nivolumab is strictly related to the host degree of immune competence, which is greatly impaired in heavily pre-treated HL patients after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). To enhance the activity of CI, we explored the feasibility of the infusion of autologous lymphocytes (ALI) in combination with the pre-emptive administration of nivolumab, early post-ASCT, in patients affected by R/R HL. Eight patients (median age 29, range 18-56) with active R/R disease, who had already failed at least two chemotherapy lines and Brentuximab, were eligible for the trial. HL patients underwent early lymphocyte apheresis, with a target cell dose of 5x107 CD3+/kg. All patients then received ASCT with FEAM conditioning followed by ALI at a median time of 14 days after infusion, starting with 1x104 CD3+ cells/kg in the first infusion to a maximum of 1x107cells/kg in the fourth and last infusion. Each ALI was followed after 48 hours by the administration of nivolumab 240 mg flat dose. As a control cohort, two patients, in CR after second line chemotherapy, were given ALI only, without nivolumab. No grade 3 or 4 adverse events were recorded. All treated patients achieved negative PET scan after immunotherapy and are alive and disease-free after a median follow-up of 20 months. Two patients did receive allogeneic stem cell transplantation while in CR. Notably, compared to control patients, a faster expansion/reconstitution of highly differentiated NK cells was observed as well as a quicker T-cell recovery. These data suggest the potential role of PD-1 receptor in the direct or indirect control of NK cell maturation/development and, probably, NK anti-tumor activity. Thus, the combination of adoptive cell therapy with CI may represent a novel approach for chemorefractory HL patients.

Investigating the effect of Depdc5 cKO: insights on synaptic transmission, plasticity and its role in mTOR-related epilepsy
Creators: name: CERULLO, MARIA SABINA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2021

description: Focal Epilepsy (FE) accounts for more than the half of the total cases of all epileptic syndrome, around 60%. It can be caused by either genetic or acquired factors, such as brain trauma, tumors or inflammation. However, it is widely recognized to have a mostly a genetic basis. Mutations at the level of the GATOR1 complex components, DEPDC5, NPRL2 and NPRL3, were found in patients with FE, confirming the key role of the GATOR1 complex in the pathogenesis of various FE syndromes. In particular, it has been discovered that mutations of DEPDC5 gene are implicated in the 5%?37% of a broad range of FEs, both lesional or non-lesional and are associated with mTOR hyperactivity. The specific mechanism underlying the epileptogenic phenotype following DEPDC5 loss is far from being clear. The aim of this thesis is to deepen the impact of Depdc5 loss-of-function at the cellular level, by focusing the attention on synaptic transmission and plasticity. In order to overcome the problem of embryonic lethality of Depdc5 full knockout in rodents, and the failure of Depdc5 constitutive heterozygous knockout mice to recapitulate the major epileptogenic traits, we used Depdc5-floxed mice and applied the Cre/LoxP technique to generate a model of Depdc5 cKO. We transfected primary cortical neurons obtained from Depdc5-floxed mice with lentiviruses expressing either active or inactive Cre recombinase and performed electrophysiological and biochemical experiments. We observed an increased in excitatory synaptic transmission and intrinsic excitability, while no difference occurred at the level of the inhibitory synaptic transmission. Given the involvement of mTOR in the mechanism of plasticity and the effect of its dysregulation on synaptic transmission, we assessed whether Depdc5 loss could also have an impact at the level of the short-term plasticity (STP). However, no effects were found at the level of either excitatory or inhibitory synaptic transmission. The data suggest that Depdc5 loss mostly induces a strengthening of excitatory transmission at the post-synaptic level and by increasing the number of connections, without directly affecting pre-synaptic mechanisms. Thus, the enhanced excitatory synaptic transmission and increased intrinsic excitability could generate a synergistic effect underlying the excitation/inhibition imbalance that triggers the epileptogenic process.

Narrow He II emission in star-forming galaxies at low metallicity. Stellar wind emission from a population of Very Massive Stars

description: In a recent study star-forming galaxies with HeII emission between redshifts 2 and 4.6 have been found to occur in two modes, distinguished by the width of their HeII emission lines. Broad HeII emission has been attributed to stellar emission from a population of evolved Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars while narrow HeII emission has been attributed to nebular emission excited by a population of very hot PopIII stars formed in pockets of pristine gas at moderate redshifts. In this work we propose an alternative scenario for the origin of the narrow HeII emission, namely very massive stars (VMS) at low metallicity (Z) which form strong but slow WR-type stellar winds due to their proximity to the Eddington limit. We estimate the expected HeII line fluxes and equivalent widths based on wind models for VMS and population synthesis models, and compare the results with recent observations of star-forming galaxies at moderate redshifts. The observed HeII line strengths and equivalent widths are in line with what is expected for a population of VMS in one or more young super-clusters located within these galaxies. In our scenario the two observed modes of HeII emission originate from massive stellar populations in distinct evolutionary stages at low Z. If this interpretation is correct there is no need to postulate the existence of PopIII stars at moderate redshifts to explain the observed narrow HeII emission. An interesting possibility is the existence of self-enriched VMS with similar WR-type spectra at extremely low Z. Stellar HeII emission from such very early generations of VMS may be detectable in future studies of star-forming galaxies at high redshifts with the James Webb Space Telescope. The fact that the HeII emission of VMS is largely neglected in current population synthesis models will generally affect the interpretation of the integrated spectra of young stellar populations.

description: This research aimed to develop a set of indicators for creativity education and a questionnaire to evaluate its delivery in Taiwan. Four research methods were systematically combined to develop the indicators and the questionnaire, including interviews, document analysis, onsite visits, and a survey. The indicator-informed questionnaire was then administered to a total of 1015 school administrators and teachers in Taiwan's primary and secondary schools (pre-test N = 397 and post-test N = 658). The results from confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and Structure Equation Modeling (SEM) revealed that the questionnaire had very good measurement properties with five interrelated latent variables, including creative teachers, creative students, creative campus, interdisciplinary practice, and creative database. The questionnaire's reliability was calculated at a Cronbach's alpha of 0.97, and the five subscales’ Cronbach alpha scores ranged from 0.82 to 0.95. Evidence revealed that the practice of creativity education program in Taiwan was very effective. Overall, among the five subscales, the creative student subscale had highest ratings (most helpful), whereas interdisciplinary practice subscale had the lowest ratings (least helpful). The questionnaire has great potential to be utilized in government, educational institutions, and other sectors as a reference tool to evaluate the delivery and practice of creativity education.

description: iPTF13ehe is a hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova (SLSN) at z=0.3434, with a slow-evolving light curve and spectral features similar to SN2007bi. It rises within (83-148)days (rest-frame) to reach a peak bolometric luminosity of 1.3x$10^{44}$erg/s, then decays very slowly at 0.015mag. per day. The measured ejecta velocity is 13000km/s. The inferred explosion characteristics, such as the ejecta mass (67-220$M_\odot$), the total radiative and kinetic energy ($10^{51}$ & 2x$10^{53}$erg respectively), is typical of a slow-evolving H-poor SLSN event. However, the late-time spectrum taken at +251days reveals a Balmer Halpha emission feature with broad and narrow components, which has never been detected before among other H-poor SLSNe. The broad component has a velocity width of ~4500km/s and has a ~300km/s blue-ward shift relative to the narrow component. We interpret this broad H$α$ emission with luminosity of $\sim$2$\times10^{41}$\,erg\,s$^{-1}$ as resulting from the interaction between the supernova ejecta and a discrete H-rich shell, located at a distance of $\sim4\times10^{16}$\,cm from the explosion site. This ejecta-CSM interaction causes the rest-frame r-band LC to brighten at late times. The fact that the late-time spectra are not completely absorbed by the shock ionized CSM shell implies that its Thomson scattering optical depth is likely <1, thus setting upper limits on the CSM mass <30$M_\odot$ and the volume number density <4x$10^8cm^{-3}$. Of the existing models, a Pulsational Pair Instability Supernova model can naturally explain the observed 30$M_\odot$ H-shell, ejected from a progenitor star with an initial mass of (95-150)$M_\odot$ about 40 years ago. We estimate that at least $\sim$15\%\ of all SLSNe-I may have late-time Balmer emission lines.

Fabrication and characterization of plasmonic nanopores for Raman detection of biomolecules

Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2021

description: In the last two decades solid-state nanopores have been widely investigated for the development of efficient and functional sensing platforms that enable real-time identification of biomolecules and even sequencing. Besides the typical electrical readout, single solid-state nanopores have been integrated with plasmonic nanostructures to add additional sensing modalities by using optical techniques such as Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). However, these nanosensors often exhibit low throughput which limits their use for real biological applications. Here, a large area and low-cost approach to produce transferrable arrays of plasmonic nanopores is presented. The devices are characterized by optical measurements and tested for the detection of biomolecules by using SERS.

MODELLING ELECTRONIC AND STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES OF QUANTUM CONFINED METAL-HALIDE PEROVSKITES
Creators: name: BIFFI, GIULIA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2021

description: This thesis focusses on the exploration of various theoretical methods to address the interesting questions concerning electronic and optical properties of quantum-confined systems. Chapter 1 serves the purpose of providing a sufficient background for the reader on state-of-the-art knowledge and approaches in order to understand the motivations behind the study of each system: 2D layered halide perovskites (Chapter 2), lead-halide perovskite nanocrystals (Chapter 3) and metal-insulator-metal optical nanocavities (Chapter 4). In Chapter 4 the fundamentals of quantum mechanics are used to interpret the resonances of optical cavities as Epsilon-near-zero modes (ENZ), allowing us to describe them using the simple formalism of the particle in a box. In the various subparagraphs we use this approach to understand the polarization and coupling behaviours of such modes, eventually designing ENZ crystals. In Chapter 3 an analytical model is built to calculate completely ab initio the excitonic energies and the exciton binding energies of perovskite nanocrystals. This is accomplished using the state-of-the-art GW correction to the calculations of molecular orbitals energies and the Bethe-Salpeter equation for a precise evaluation of the excited states in real space. This method allows to study the effect of every physical quantity entering the description (e.g. the dielectric environment, exchange and Coulomb interactions?) on the final result, providing useful insight in the physics underlying the optical properties of these nanocrystals. In Chapter 2, Density Functional Theory is exploited to evaluate the effects of different ligands on the structural and the electronic properties of 2D halide perovskites. In the subparagraphs, various aspects are studied, for example the effects of different binding groups on the band structure, of different ligands on the Raman response and on the phase transition temperatures.

description: Weyl nodes are topological objects in three-dimensional metals. Their topological property can be revealed by studying the high-field transport properties of a Weyl semimetal. While the energy of the lowest Landau band (LLB) of a conventional Fermi pocket always increases with magnetic field due to the zero point energy, the LLB of Weyl cones remains at zero energy unless a strong magnetic field couples the Weyl fermions of opposite chirality. In the Weyl semimetal TaP, we achieve such a magnetic coupling between the electron-like Fermi pockets arising from the W1 Weyl fermions. As a result, their LLBs move above chemical potential, leading to a sharp sign reversal in the Hall resistivity at a specific magnetic field corresponding to the W1 Weyl node separation. By contrast, despite having almost identical carrier density, the annihilation is unobserved for the hole-like pockets because the W2 Weyl nodes are much further separated. These key findings, corroborated by other systematic analyses, reveal the nontrivial topology of Weyl fermions in high-field measurements.

Exploring innovative stimulation protocols to promote neuromodulation in brain-on-a-chip models
Creators: name: PISANO, MARIETTA

Year: 2021

description: The aim of my project is to investigate a non-invasive alternative to classical electrical stimulation in the field of neuromodulation techniques, which employ ultrasound (US). Even though ultrasound are collecting enough interest in the scientific community for their several advantages (high spatial resolution, low cost, and non-invasiveness), the mechanisms through which sound waves interact with cells and their activity are still unclear. Under this perspective, I consider a few possible strategies to induce an in vitro electrophysiological response of neuronal assemblies of different sizes to short and low-intensity US pulses; first of all, I had been applied US on neuronal cells treated with piezoelectric barium titanate nanoparticles (BTNPs), in order to exploit their piezoelectric effect to transduce the mechanical stimulus into an electrical one. To make the experimental model closer to the in vivo scenario, I also designed a more complex experimental set-up to investigate the above strategy on heterogeneous (i.e., neurons coming from different brain areas) and three-dimensional (3D) neuronal networks. As it is known, cells in the brain are characterized by a 3D structure and multi-cellular links, so 3D structures are a more powerful model than 2D ones1 in order to emulate the in vivo effects. Moreover, I wanted to merge the two aforementioned strategies to establish an experimental protocol to release a model drug, Doxorubicin, stored in polyelectrolyte microcapsules, fabricated with the layer-by-layer technique, using an ultrasound.

description: We provide results for the open-flavor strong decays of strange and non-strange baryons into a baryon-vector/pseudoscalar meson pair. The decay amplitudes are computed in the $^3P_0$ pair-creation model, where $s\bar{s}$ pair-creation suppression is included for the first time in the baryon sector, in combination with the U(7) and hypercentral models. The effects of this $s\bar{s}$ suppression mechanism cannot be re-absorbed in a redefinition of the model parameters or in a different choice of the $^3P_0$ model vertex factor. Our results for the decay amplitudes are compared with the existing experimental data and previous $^3P_0$ and elementary meson emission model calculations. In this respect, we show that distinct quark models differ in the number of missing resonances they predict and also in the quantum numbers of states. Therefore, future experimental results will be important in order to disentangle different models of baryon structure. Finally, in the appendices, we provide some details of our calculations, including the derivation of all relevant flavor couplings with strangeness-suppression. This derivation may be helpful to calculate the open-flavor decay amplitudes starting from other models of baryons.
EXTRACTION, ANALYSIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY METABOLITES OF THE BASIDIOMYCETE PLEUROTUS OSTREATUS (Jacq.) P. KUMM., 1871, USING HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY TECHNIQUES COUPLED WITH MASS SPECTROMETRY AND THEIR POSSIBLE USE FOR HUMAN HEALTH

description: Oxidative stress is one of the main causes of premature cellular aging which can be at the origin of numerous acute or chronic diseases that arise with age. New natural sources of molecules with powerful antioxidant properties are one of the possible solutions in the formulation of antioxidant preparations for protective and anti-aging purposes. As harvested fungi are an evergrowing industry the characterization of their primary and secondary metabolites and their experimentation on cell cultures are fundamental prerequisites for the identification and subsequent experimentation of molecules of cosmetological, pharmaceutical and / or nutraceurtic interest. The aim of this work was the development of a liquid chromatography method at high pressure / performance coupled with mass spectrometry that allowed the simultaneous analysis of as many primary and secondary metabolites extracted from Pleurotus ostreatus as possible. The metabolites identified were tested on cell cultures to highlight their possible cytotoxicity and their possible applications for human health.

description: Neurobehavioral functioning is widely recognized as being an important consideration in lung transplant candidates, but little is known about whether these factors are related to clinical outcomes. The present study examined the relationship of neurobehavioral functioning, including measures of executive function and memory, depression, and anxiety, to long-term survival among lung transplant recipients.
General Method of Wind-Induced Fatigue Analysis of Slender Structures
Creators: name: DAMELE, MICHELA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2020

description: Wind-induced fatigue is a critical issue in design of many slender structures, but suitable engineering and standards procedures are still fragmentary. On the basis of the closed form solution proposed by Repetto and Solari (2012), this PhD Thesis develops a complete and general procedure for determining the wind-induced fatigue damage of slender structures, suitable for engineering calculations and code provisions. A new generalization of the closed form solution is proposed, covering a wide range of resistance fatigue curve types, suitable for different materials and different cyclic loading conditions. The final formulation results in complete accordance with Eurocode format for wind induced Ultimate Limit State analysis. The set of required input parameters is discussed, taking into account simultaneous alongwind and crosswind structural responses due to turbulence. Simple expressions coherent with standard format are defined for both alongwind and crosswind fatigue analysis. The significance of different contributions to crosswind-induced fatigue is examined. Although engineering procedures estimate separately crosswind maximum response to gust buffeting and to critical vortex shedding conditions, there's no guarantee such assumption would provide reliable fatigue predictions. Therefore, the possibility of separating the effects of the vortex shedding in fatigue analysis is investigated, as well as the role of parameters uncertainties in response and in fatigue evaluations, suggesting new formulations of the cycle number due to VIV. Finally, some case studies are discussed validating the proposed model.

Critical analysis and remedy of switching failures in straintronic logic using Bennett clocking in the presence of thermal fluctuations

description: Straintronic logic is a promising platform for beyond Moore's law computing. Using Bennett clocking mechanism, information can propagate through an array of strain-mediated multiferroic nanomagnets exploiting the dipolar coupling between the magnets without having to physically interconnect them. Here we perform a critical analysis of switching failures, i.e., error in information propagation due to thermal fluctuations through a chain of such straintronic devices. We solved stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation considering room-temperature thermal perturbations and show that magnetization switching may fail due to inherent magnetization dynamics accompanied by thermally broadened switching delay distribution. Avenues available to circumvent such issue are proposed.

description: BACKGROUND:Arformoterol tartrate (arformoterol, 15 μg bid) is a nebulized long-acting β2-agonist approved for maintenance treatment of COPD.METHODS:This was a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study. Patients (aged ≥ 40 years with baseline FEV1 ≤ 65% predicted, FEV1 > 0.50 L, FEV1/FVC ≤ 70%, and ≥ 15 pack-year smoking history) received arformoterol (n = 420) or placebo (n = 421) for 1 year. The primary assessment was time from randomization to respiratory death or first COPD exacerbation-related hospitalization.RESULTS:Among 841 patients randomized, 103 had ≥ 1 primary event (9.5% vs 15.0%, for arformoterol vs placebo, respectively). Patients who discontinued treatment for any reason (39.3% vs 49.9%, for arformoterol vs placebo, respectively) were followed for up to 1 year postrandomization to assess for primary events. Fewer patients receiving arformoterol than placebo experienced COPD exacerbation-related hospitalizations (9.0% vs 14.3%, respectively). Twelve patients (2.9%) receiving arformoterol and 10 patients (2.4%) receiving placebo died during the study. Risk for first respiratory serious adverse event was 50% lower with arformoterol than placebo (P = .003). Numerically more patients on arformoterol (13; 3.1%) than placebo (10; 2.4%) experienced cardiac serious adverse events; however, time-to-first cardiac serious adverse event was not significantly different. Improvements in trough FEV1 and FVC were greater with arformoterol (least-squares mean change from baseline vs placebo: 0.051 L, P = .030 and 0.075 L, P = .018, respectively). Significant improvements in quality of life (overall St. George’s Hospital Respiratory Questionnaire and Clinical COPD Questionnaire) were observed with arformoterol vs placebo (P < .05).CONCLUSIONS:Arformoterol demonstrated an approximately 40% lower risk of respiratory death or COPD exacerbation-related hospitalization over 1 year vs placebo. Arformoterol was well-tolerated and improved lung function vs placebo.TRIAL REGISTRY:ClinicalTrials.gov; No.: NCT00909779; URL: www.clinicaltrials.gov
