description: Objectives: In order to describe treatment options for postoperative benign biliary strictures and find a proper approach for treatment, we describe the presentation and management of postoperative biliary stricture in 64 patients. Methods: Demographical and clinical data from 64 patients undergoing surgical reconstructions by retrospective methods during the past 6 years were analyzed. Clinical features of Grade I and II group versus Grade III and IV group and bile duct plasty versus biliojejunostomy were compared. Results: Of the 64 patients, 21 received bile duct plasty and the other 43 underwent biliojejunostomy. Patients with bigger bile duct dilatation had better outcomes than those with smaller one, P=0.0372. Hepaticojejunostomy was correlated to better outcomes than other surgical procedures, P=0.0483. Bile duct plasty was related to Bismuth classification Type I, P=0.0001. But biliojejunostomy was related to Bismuth classification Type II, P=0.0001 and Type III, P=0.0059. Patients with bigger bile duct dilatation had more biliojejunostomy than those with smaller one, P=0.0001. Conclusion: Both biliojejunostomy and bile duct plasty had good treatment outcomes. Bile duct plasty should be confined to patients with a degree of bile duct dilatation less than 1.5 cm and Bismuth classification (Type I). The degree of dilatation, hepaticojejunostomy and postoperative morbidity were factors statistically correlated to long term outcomes.

description: Starting from the relationship between urban planning and mobility management, TeMA has gradually expanded the view of the covered topics, always following a rigorous scientific in-depth analysis. This section of the Journal, Review Notes, is a continuous update about emerging topics concerning relationships among urban planning, mobility, and environment, thanks to a collection of short scientific papers written by young researchers. The Review Notes are made up of five parts. Each section examines a specific aspect of the broader information storage within the main interests of the TeMA Journal. In particular: the Town Planning International Rules and Legislation. Section aims at presenting the latest updates in the territorial and urban legislative sphere. The current challenges that today's cities have to face, from climate change to environmental and social ones, have led to urban planning being accompanied by the mobility system from a sustainable point of view. In turn, sustainable mobility constitutes that important link in the chain of development of cities. In this direction, the contribution explores in the first part how the scientific community is addressing the issue of sustainable mobility and what the new paradigms are, however, in the second part it focuses on the urban policies issued by the Italian government.

description: Starting from the relationship between urban planning and mobility management, TeMA has gradually expanded the view of the covered topics, always remaining in the groove of rigorous scientific in-depth analysis. This section of the Journal, Review Notes, is the expression of a continuous updating of emerging topics concerning relationships between urban planning, mobility and environment, through a collection of short scientific papers written by young researchers. The Review Notes are made of four parts. Each section examines a specific aspect of the broader information storage within the main interests of TeMA Journal. In particular, the Urban planning literature review section aims at presenting recent books and journals, within global scientific panorama, on selected topics and issues. This contribution aims at delving into the most severe effects due to heat waves and presenting three interesting and significant scientific books and journal that present effective adaptation strategies to limit climate crisis and improve Mediterranean resilience towards more frequent and severe storm surges and draughts. The third contribution of the Review Notes for TeMA vo. 15 highlights the need for integrated action to address the climate crisis in the Mediterranean region, bringing together the strengths and weaknesses of its shores, despite social, economic and political differences. Moreover, the extreme weather events that are occurring throughout Europe, from the south to the north, show how the Mediterranean area is particularly sensitive to climate change-related events.

description: Based on the spin-orbit coupling recently implemented in a neutral cold-atom gas, we propose a scheme to realize spin-dependent scattering of cold atoms. In particular we consider a matter wave packet of cold-atom gas impinging upon a step potential created by the optical light field, inside of which the atoms are subject to spin-orbit interaction. We show that the proposed system can act as a spin polarizer or spin-selective atom mirror for the incident atomic beam. The principle and the operating parameter regime of the system are carefully discussed.

description: In recent times, there has been an increasing number of initiatives for developing green and agricultural areas connected to urban ones. This is certainly very positive, from many points of view, both social as well as environmental. This work presents a study regarding an Agricultural Park proposal. It is located in an urban context, which involves a populous district of the Bari Municipality (Apulia Region, Southern Italy). The role of Nature Based Solutions was further considered: they are inspired and supported by nature and could help to build land robustness increasing soil permeability and, as a result, decreasing the risk of hydraulic hazards. For this purpose, the Digital Terrain Model was utilised: obtained by the LIDAR survey, it was employed in order to create the hydrographic micro-network, giving us details of runoff paths. Consequently, agricultural activity, by increasing soil permeability, will contribute to reducing hazards. This methodology has allowed for the creation of different areas to be allocated to agricultural activity; this process started with the localisation of hydraulic micro-network and became part of the "new" landscape. Landscape management, through Agricultural Park creation, therefore turns into a catalyst for local development, due to its agriculture relevance and its ability to absorb anthropic pressures.

description: Climate has always been studied in cities, where strong relations can be found with urban form and spatial patterns. Temperature variations, heat islands and floods are among the main factors to represent climatic phenomena and related changes over time. The same urban location choices come out from the need to resist adverse events. In general, the urban form can be related to climatic conditions, both to benefit from positive externalities - healthiness, sun exposure, ventilation, water supply - and to reduce negative externalities - thermal stress, heavy rainfall and heat islands. Furthermore, urban development, particularly attributable to land take, put in evidence how the European, and particularly the Italian, urban system presents 56% of population settled in urban areas with a high value of sealed surfaces and limited green areas, so that urban centres are more and more characterizing as climate change hotspots. In this framework the hereby presented research is developed, focused on the observation of the temperature variations in urban areas in time, aimed at capturing the changes occurring also considering the spatial extent and form of the cities more vulnerable to such phenomenon. The research in particular was aimed at exploring possible different ways of aggregating areas to a proper urban dimension: in particular Metropolitan Cities (MC) and Labor Market Area (LMA) in order to identify the most suitable geographical dimension both for the observation of the phenomenon and for the policy targets of climate neutrality. This is done analysing the spatial autocorrelation of climate-related variations in space and time.

description: Conformal field theory (CFT) has been extremely successful in describing large-scale universal effects in one-dimensional (1D) systems at quantum critical points. Unfortunately, its applicability in condensed matter physics has been limited to situations in which the bulk is uniform because CFT describes low-energy excitations around some energy scale, taken to be constant throughout the system. However, in many experimental contexts, such as quantum gases in trapping potentials and in several out-of-equilibrium situations, systems are strongly inhomogeneous. We show here that the powerful CFT methods can be extended to deal with such 1D situations, providing a few concrete examples for non-interacting Fermi gases. The system's inhomogeneity enters the field theory action through parameters that vary with position; in particular, the metric itself varies, resulting in a CFT in curved space. This approach allows us to derive exact formulas for entanglement entropies which were not known by other means.

description: Port-City interface is becoming increasingly pivotal in both urban and infrastructural sustainable development. Urban centers tend to regain their overlook on the sea, while “gigantic” ships require ports to become bigger and bigger. These convergent processes frequently lead to conflicts and unsolved issues. This is the reason why solutions are often searched in defining specifical and dedicated areas and routes to reduce interferences. Buffer Areas for logistics-related operations and procedures are often mentioned. The present work concerns the stakeholders’ engagement process conducted in order to evaluate most suitable areas and relevant features to host these activities before freight vehicles reach the proper port area, thus reducing externalities on ordinary traffic flows. In particular, in-depth interviews to several stakeholders of Genoese Port community were conducted and their results were later mainstreamed into a multi-criteria analysis. Despite not being a structured participatory process, the present methodology could help defining intervention priorities and identifying the added value of this kind of facilities for different members of local port community.

We show that the phase and population dynamics allow to periodically meet an optimal intensity squeezing condition resulting in a strongly nonclassical emission statistics. By considering an exciton-polariton Josephson junction resonantly driven by a classical source, we show that a sizeable antibunching should emerge in such semiconductor system where intrinsic nonclassical signatures have remained elusive to date.

description: We perform a forecast analysis of the capability of the eLISA space-based interferometer to constrain models of early and interacting dark energy using gravitational wave standard sirens. We employ simulated catalogues of standard sirens given by merging massive black hole binaries visible by eLISA, with an electromagnetic counterpart detectable by future telescopes. We consider three-arms mission designs with arm length of 1, 2 and 5 million km, 5 years of mission duration and the best-level low frequency noise as recently tested by the LISA Pathfinder. Standard sirens with eLISA give access to an intermediate range of redshift $1\lesssim z \lesssim 8$, and can therefore provide competitive constraints on models where the onset of the deviation from $Λ$CDM (i.e. the epoch when early dark energy starts to be non-negligible, or when the interaction with dark matter begins) occurs relatively late, at $z\lesssim 6$. If instead early or interacting dark energy is relevant already in the pre-recombination era, current cosmological probes (especially the cosmic microwave background) are more efficient than eLISA in constraining these models, except possibly in the interacting dark energy model if the energy exchange is proportional to the energy density of dark energy.

The Paths to Choreography Extraction

description: Choreographies are global descriptions of interactions among concurrent components, most notably used in the settings of verification (e.g., Multiparty Session Types) and synthesis of correct-by-construction software (Choreographic Programming). They require a top-down approach: programmers first write choreographies, and then use them to verify or synthesize their programs. However, most existing software does not come with choreographies yet, which prevents their application. To attack this problem, we propose a novel methodology (called choreography extraction) that, given a set of programs or protocol specifications, automatically constructs a choreography that describes their behavior. The key to our extraction is identifying a set of paths in a graph that represents the symbolic execution of the programs of interest. Our method improves on previous work in several directions: we can now deal with programs that are equipped with a state and internal computation capabilities; time complexity is dramatically better; we capture programs that are correct but not necessarily synchronizable, i.e., they work because they exploit asynchronous communication.

description: We study statistical properties of the $0^+$ spectrum of $^{208}$Pb in the energy region $E_x\leq20$ MeV. We use the Skyrme interaction SLy4 as our model Hamiltonian to create a single-particle spectrum and to analyze excited states. The finite-rank separable approximation for the particle-hole interaction enables us to perform the calculations in large configuration spaces. We show that while the position of the monopole resonance centroid is determined by one phonon excitations of $0^+$, the phonon-phonon coupling is crucial for the description of a strength distribution of the $0^+$ spectrum. In fact, this coupling has an impact on the spectral rigidity $Δ_3(L)$ which is shifted towards the random matrix limit of the Gaussian orthogonal ensembles.

Year: 2022

description: This article is devoted to the landscape and urban planning system formation issues of the Moscow region, based on the integration of landscape and urban planning approaches. The current proposal considers the landscape both as a system and as an active part of the completely urban planning process. The article aims to present landscape and urban planning as systemic tools for transforming the spatial and planning structure of the macro-region - the Moscow region, offering opportunities for the physical and spatial restructuring of regional landscapes into a single green infrastructure of the region. The relevance of the study is related to the lack of documents in the Town Planning Code of Russia substantiating the need for the development of landscape planning projects, which are necessary for the landscape and urban planning system formation of cities, agglomerations, provinces, regions. In creating the landscape and urban planning system of the Moscow region, it is necessary to rely on the theory and practice of landscape urbanism, which shows the possibilities of its active use in the modern process of urban planning development. Furthermore, this article specifies modern research in the landscape and urban planning transformation field of spatial planning structures at the macro-regional level (macro-regional scale). The article will be useful for training researchers and specialists who could improve planning methodology and, consequently, existing landscape and urban planning practices.

description: Product diversification is among the important company strategy that has powerful effect on sales performance. The objective of this study is to analyse the effect of product diversification on sales performance in the case of Unilever. The sample populations of the study were cosmetic beauty and personal care retailer shops in Addis Ababa. Quantitative research approach and non-probability convenience sampling had been adopted in selecting a sample size of 127. Data were collected using structured questionnaire and analysed using SPSS 20 and descriptive research design was used. The results of the study revealed that product diversification have a relationship with sales performance of beauty and personal care retailers. Therefore, It is essential for Unilever to pay more attention in increasing their product diversification practice specifically should pay more attention to the activities and means of product attributes since the study results showed a weakness on some of contributors of product attributes (Quality), in influencing the sales performance of both the retailers and the company as a whole. Finally the researcher is recommended to Unilever is that the strategic impact of product diversification is best observed when they are designed or built in strategic plan for all stakeholders in the business area, coordinated with other marketing tools and integrated with the business strategy.

description: We perform a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) statistical analysis of a number of measured ground-state-to-ground-state single $β^+$/electron-capture and $β^-$ decays in the nuclear mass range A = 62 - 142. The corresponding experimental comparative half-lives (log ft values) are compared with the theoretical ones obtained by the use of the proton-neutron quasiparticle random-phase approximation (pnQRPA) with G-matrix based effective interactions. The MCMC analysis is performed separately for 47 isobaric triplets and 28 more extended isobaric chains of nuclei to extract values and uncertainties for the effective axial-vector coupling constant g_A in nuclear-structure calculations performed in the pnQRPA framework. As far as available, measured half-lives for two-neutrino double beta-minus decays occurring in the studied isobaric chains are analyzed as well.

description: The challenge to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, and resilient, including mitigation and adaptation strategies against disaster, is a central issue in achieving sustainability. This research proposes a tool to measure local vulnerability from a multi-risk approach. The municipality of Moncalieri, Italy, was used as a case study within the research activities of the Responsible Risk Resilience Centre from the Polytechnic of Turin to test the vulnerability matrix. The tool consists of a mathematical framework for the territorial vulnerability assessment that integrates multiple indicators clustered into three factors defined as sensitivity, pressures, and hazards, weighted according to a participatory procedure. Space-dependent analyses using the Geographical Information System were developed from the multiple nested indicators to project the vulnerability index onto a homogeneous grid in the territory of interest. Thematic maps referring to the systemic vulnerability by different sensitivity components were generated. The tool not only contributes to increasing the awareness of territorial vulnerability but also offers support to resilience-based decision-making in designing technical measures of policies at a local scale. Further research is required to implement the framework in different scenarios and develop the model's temporal behaviour.

description: The current climate change consequences, the migration phenomena, the pandemic, and the war affect the already unstable housing system situation. Implementing resilience is as necessary as ever to solve the existing housing crisis. In particular, a little number of housing units, lack of maintenance, the inadequacy of the heritage to the new housing needs, and weak attention to social aspects, characterize the Italian social housing system. Considering the possible powerful relationships between resilience, circular economy, and housing, this paper is aimed at determining whether and how CE principles can be applied in the social housing system to make it more resilient, adopting a qualitative research method. To this end, a model for Circular Living (CL) is proposed: it includes strategies at the building, neighbourhood/city, and territorial scales. It is extrapolated from the existing bibliography on housing system, resilience and circular economy; the analysis of the case study of south Salento together with its critical housing system and some emerging best practices. The use case of a 70s public building in Lecce is also presented. Although the CL Model is for the resilience of the social housing system in peripheral territories, future research could implement and validate the model in different contexts and systems.

description: We study the effects of Horndeski models of dark energy on the observables of the large-scale structure in the late time universe. A novel classification into {\it Late dark energy}, {\it Early dark energy} and {\it Early modified gravity} scenarios is proposed, according to whether such models predict deviations from the standard paradigm persistent at early time in the matter domination epoch. We discuss the physical imprints left by each specific class of models on the effective Newton constant $μ$, the gravitational slip parameter $η$, the light deflection parameter $Σ$ and the growth function $fσ_8$ and demonstrate that a convenient way to dress a complete portrait of the viability of the Horndeski accelerating mechanism is via two, redshift-dependent, diagnostics: the $μ(z)-Σ(z)$ and the $fσ_8(z)-Σ(z)$ planes. If future, model-independent, measurements point to either $Σ-1<0$ at redshift zero or $μ-1<0$ with $Σ-1>0$ at high redshifts or $μ-1>0$ with $Σ-1<0$ at high redshifts, Horndeski theories are effectively ruled out. If $fσ_8$ is measured to be larger than expected in a $Λ$CDM model at $z>1.5$ then Early dark energy models are definitely ruled out. On the opposite case, Late dark energy models are rejected by data if $Σ<1$, while, if $Σ>1$, only Early modifications of gravity provide a viable framework to interpret data.
Travel mode choice and its responsiveness to the needs of commuters with disability in the Accra metropolitan assembly

description: The need for out of door trips is informed by the fact that many life-enhancing opportunities are found outside one's home. Here, access to public transport becomes critical in enjoying facilities like schools and hospitals due to the low ownership of private cars among the low and middle-income bracket. Unfortunately, the conditions of the physical environment (including transport services) do not reflect the needs of minority travellers, making way to ascertain the responsiveness of public transport services to Ghana disability population. This study engaged 50 PWDs from the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) and adopted a semi-structured interview guide in eliciting PWDs’ experience in using public transport in Accra. Beyond this, an auditing instrument was also engaged to ascertain the current conditions of public transport buses using the Ghana disability Act as the basis for measurement. The study found that none of the buses examined met the conditions of Ghana’s disability Act, leaving PWDs to rely on transport operators for basic services. This situation did not only project transport operators' poor knowledge of the needs of the disability population but also reduced PWDs' travel options. The study recommends rigorous enforcement of Ghana’s disability Act, beginning with an educational outreach program for transport operators.

description: The international planning agenda is opening its attention to the integration of food systems in urban planning and, consequently, to Urban Agriculture (UA). However, what UA and, particularly, Urban Food Gardening (UFG) mean in terms of city planning and urban space management have been less explored by the academic point of view. Here we propose a frame to analyse UFG practices in relation with land use and zoning, land property, management and urban regulations. By an empirical analysis of a thirty case studies in Italian metropolitan cities, we show that the Italian panorama of UA practices is wide and varied, and that the recent policies aimed at promoting UFG adopt different tools, according to path-dependencies and different actors involved in defining urban agendas. However, the Italian planning system has not yet integrated UA within its planning tools in a structured way. Current trends regard to the adoption of UA-related policies, strategies, plans and regulations has been highlighted, in order to identify possible points of attention for the development of UA in the European context.

description: We consider the problem of estimating the Pickands dependence function corresponding to a multivariate distribution. A minimum distance estimator is proposed which is based on a L2-distance between the logarithms of the empirical and an extreme-value copula. The minimizer can be expressed explicitly as a linear functional of the logarithm of the empirical copula and weak convergence of the corresponding process on the simplex is proved. In contrast to other procedures which have recently been proposed in the literature for the nonparametric estimation of a multivariate Pickands dependence function [see Zhang et al. (2008) and Gudendorf and Segers (2011)], the estimators constructed in this paper do not require knowledge of the marginal distributions and are an alternative to the method which has recently been suggested by Gudendorf and Segers (2012). Moreover, the minimum distance approach allows the construction of a simple test for the hypothesis of a multivariate extreme-value copula, which is consistent against a broad class of alternatives. The finite-sample properties of the estimator and a multiplier bootstrap version of the test are investigated by means of a simulation study.

description: A number of scientific fields rely on placing permanent magnets in order to produce a desired magnetic field. We have shown in recent work that the placement process can be formulated as sparse regression. However, binary, grid-aligned solutions are desired for realistic engineering designs. We now show that the binary permanent magnet problem can be formulated as a quadratic program with quadratic equality constraints, the binary, grid-aligned problem is equivalent to the quadratic knapsack problem with multiple knapsack constraints, and the single-orientation-only problem is equivalent to the unconstrained quadratic binary problem. We then provide a set of simple greedy algorithms for solving variants of permanent magnet optimization, and demonstrate their capabilities by designing magnets for stellarator plasmas. The algorithms can a-priori produce sparse, grid-aligned, binary solutions. Despite its simple design and greedy nature, we provide an algorithm that compares with or even outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms while being substantially faster, more flexible, and easier to use.

description: The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic boosted political trust in many countries. This article tests the relevance of fear of infection as the micro-level mechanism behind this rally round the flag. This study employs three-wave panel data in the Netherlands, collected days before the first lockdown (early March 2020), during that lockdown (April/May 2020), and after that lockdown (October 2020). Growth curve models isolate the rally effect and its determinants. The article reaches three main conclusions. First, fear of infection is a constituting element of the rally effect: the rise in political trust is more pronounced among people who fear infection. Second, the rise occurs in response to the direct, external threat (health concerns), not in response to the secondary threats (social isolation, economic stagnation). Third, adherents of the radical right are particularly sensitive to the external threat, but only in the short run.

Resilient marginal cities by encouraging intermodality strategies

Publisher: name: TeMA - Journal of Land Use, Mobility and Environment
Year: 2022

description: While metropolitan areas are evolving, funds and investments are investing in megacities, an overwhelming part of the population lives in peripheral and decentralized areas. Starting from an international view, the paper intends to offer a spatial cluster analysis on the main business models that can be reproduced in marginal areas. The literature points out that there is much study of inland areas but no spatial analysis of transportation for a particular band of areas, which includes marginal cities. A focus will be made on the marginal cities of Campania, starting from the strategies of internal areas. Encouraging intermodality with alternative and ICT-connected transport systems is a way to provide a mode of transport to cities in crisis. After an analysis of the territory, we will proceed with the identification of models of business for the decentralized areas of Campania. The main objective is to provide a set of criteria to identify the most suitable mobility services in main territorial contexts, from the point of view of population density, travel time from the nearest hub and use of ICT. This study should be seen as an initial approach to identifying strategies to develop the inland territories for first and last mile connection.
