Diritto applicato e diritto applicabile alla delibazione delle nullità matrimoniali ecclesiastiche: incertezze normative, supplenza del giudice e paradossi della giurisprudenza

description: L’efficacia della procedura di deliberazione delle sentenze ecclesiastiche di nullità matrimoniale come sistema di collegamento e di filtro tra ordinamento canonico e ordinamento civile è messa a rischio dall’indeterminatezza di alcuni suoi riferimenti normativi essenziali. Per la prassi processuale la norma più incerta di tutto il sistema resta quella dell’art. 797, n. 7 c.p.c. che individua nella non contrarietà all’ordine pubblico matrimoniale il principio che regola il riconoscimento delle nullità matrimoniali canoniche nell’ordinamento italiano. La complessità della nozione di ordine pubblico matrimoniale non è soltanto di carattere strettamente giuridico, ma è dovuta anche alla sua controversa connotazione gius-sociologica. Per prevenire l’eventualità di una scissione tra diritto vivente e realtà sociale la giurisprudenza prova infatti a interpretare l’ordine pubblico matrimoniale alla luce del sentire comune, della «coscienza sociale» che caratterizza una determinata fase storica. Nella pratica, tuttavia, è facile che il criterio della «coscienza sociale» renda ancora più indefinito e sfuggente il concetto di “ordine pubblico matrimoniale” esponendo il giudizio di compatibilità della sentenza ecclesiastica con l’ordinamento italiano ai mutamenti, alla conflittualità e alle contraddizioni delle diverse sensibilità socio-culturali. In tal senso, è paradigmatico un caso di nullità canonica per infedeltà prematrimoniale a cui il giudice della delibazione ha negato gli effetti civili per assoluta incompatibilità della sentenza ecclesiastica con l’ordine pubblico italiano e con l’attuale «coscienza sociale». Secondo l’interpretazione data, nell’attuale «coscienza sociale» il pre-matrimonio si caratterizzerebbe per la libertà delle scelte erotico/affettive e per la conseguente irrilevanza della condotta infedele realizzata in questa fase rispetto alla successiva fase matrimoniale. Ma è sufficiente riferirsi ad una diversa concezione della «coscienza sociale» perché la giustizia della Chiesa cattolica possa facilmente risultare più aggiornata della giustizia dello Stato e più attendibile come interprete dell’attuale sentire comune. Può accadere, allora, che si capovolga l’immaginario tradizionale e che il giudice civile assuma il ruolo del giudice “tradizionalista” e il giudice canonico quello di giudice “progressista”.

Comparison of spectral slopes of magnetohydrodynamic and hydrodynamic turbulence and measurements of alignment effects

description: We performed a series of high-resolution (up to 1024^3) direct numerical simulations of hydro and MHD strong turbulence. We found that for simulations with normal viscosity the slopes for spectra of MHD are similar, although slightly more shallower than for hydro simulations. However, for simulations with hyperviscosity the slopes were very different, for instance, the slopes for hydro simulations showed pronounced and well-defined bottleneck effect, while the MHD slopes were relatively much less affected. We believe that this is indicative of MHD strong turbulence being less local than Kolmogorov turbulence. This calls for revision of MHD strong turbulence models that assume local "as-in-hydro case" cascading. Nonlocality of MHD turbulence casts doubt on numerical determination of the slopes with currently available (512^3--1024^3) numerical resolutions, including simulations with normal viscosity. We also measure various so-called alignment effects and discuss their influence on the turbulent cascade.

Biomaterials-mediated blood stem cell engineering

description: The field of regenerative medicine and bioengineering presents an exciting opportunity to harness the potential of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) through stem cell niche and cellular engineering. These approaches aim to recreate the natural environment of the stem cells and modify protein expression in the cells to enhance the differentiation and therapeutic capabilities of HSCs. This makes enhanced HSCs valuable for treating a range of blood-related diseases and genetic conditions. Our first study is focused on developing a hydrogel-based system that provides a serum-free, feeder-free thymic-like niche for HSCs to develop into T cells. We synthesized hydrogel containing thymic-associated components including immobilized Notch ligand Delta-like-4 (DLL4), hyaluronic acid, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM1) and collagen-derived gelatin. DLL4-Fc immobilized using conjugated protein G resulted in T cell differentiation. Gelatin addition in the engineered 3D system enhanced T cell differentiation, while VCAM1 had no effect on cell development. The second study is focused on using the platform engineered in the first study to develop a system for generation of T cells from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived HSCs. We created the first feeder-free serum-free 3D system for T cell generation from PSCs-derived cells. Finally, in the third study, we explored the use of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) loaded with mRNA to modify phenotype of megakaryocyte (MK) progenitors derived from HSCs. We found an optimal formulation of LNPs for MK progenitor transfection and engineered the cells to produce coagulation factor VII, FVII, which decreased clot time in the presence of FVII-deficient plasma. Our study highlights the significant potential of biomaterials to engineer HSCs into functional T cells and megakaryocytes, thus opening up new avenues in therapy development.

description: We review what we have learned about the scattering of electrons by the interfaces between two different metals (M1/M2) in the current-perpendicular-to-plane (CPP) geometry. In this geometry, the intrinsic quantity is the specific resistance, AR, the product of the area through which the CPP current flows times the CPP resistance. We describe results for both non-magnetic/non-magnetic (N1/N2) and ferromagnetic/non-magnetic (F/N) pairs. We focus especially upon cases where M1/M2 are lattice matched (i.e., have the same crystal structure and the same lattice parameters to within ~ 1%), because in these cases no-free-parameter calculations of 2AR agree surprisingly well with measured values. But we also list and briefly discuss cases where M1/M2 are not lattice matched, either having different crystal structures, or lattice parameters that differ by several percent. The published calculations of 2AR in these latter cases do not agree so well with measured values.

description: Il saggio presenta il tipo di laicità realizzata nella Repubblica di San Marino alla luce delle fonti unilaterali e bilaterali. Viene rilevato che, di fronte ad un pieno riconoscimento della competenza esclusiva dell’autorità ecclesiastica cattolica sull’organizzazione e realizzazione dell’azione pastorale, la Repubblica si caratterizza per l’assenza di ogni coinvolgimento ideologico con il cattolicesimo; le attività religiose, anche patrocinate dallo Stato, sono considerate come funzionali al bisogni religiosi dei cittadini.

description: The progress in understanding the behavior of glassy mixed ionic conductors within the concept of the defect model for the mixed mobile ion effect (V. Belostotsky, J. Non-Cryst. Solids 353 (2007) 1078) is reported. It is shown that in a mixed ionic conductor (e.g., mixed alkali glass) containing two or more types of dissimilar mobile ions of unequal size sufficient local strain arising from the size mismatch of a mobile ion entering a foreign site can not be, in principle, absorbed by the surrounding network-forming matrix without its damage. Primary site rearrangement occurs immediately, on the time scale close to that of the ion migration process, through the formation of intrinsic defects in the nearest glass network. Neither anelastic relaxation below glass transition temperature, Tg, nor viscoelastic or viscous behavior at or above Tg can be expected being observed in this case because the character of the stress relaxation in a wide temperature range is dictated above all by the deformation rates employed locally to the adjacent network-forming matrix. Since the ion migration occurs on the picosecond time scale, the primary rearrangement of the glass network adjacent to an ionic site occurs at rates orders of magnitude higher than those of the critical minimum values, so the matrix demonstrates brittle-elastic response to the arising strain even at temperatures well above Tg, which explains, among other things, why mixed alkali effect is observable in glass melts.

description: Moderne Fahrerassistenzsysteme und autonomes Fahren benötigen eine detaillierte Umgebungserfassung. Neben einer präzisen Beschreibung von Form und Zustand der umgebenen Objekte, ist auch ein immer besseres semantisches Verständnis der Situation erforderlich. Die Anforderungen der funktionalen Sicherheit führen dazu, dass diese oft nur durch Redundanz erreicht werden können. Für Systeme zur semantischen Klassifizierung von Objekten werden heutzutage hauptsächlich optische Sensoren verwendet. Obwohl die Anzahl der im Fahrzeug verbauten Radare immer weiter steigt und die Messeigenschaften jedes einzelnen Sensors sich in Auflösung, Genauigkeit und Sensitivität beständig verbessern, leistet der Radarsensor heutzutage nur einen geringen Beitrag zur Semantik. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird das Potential des Radarsensors zur semantischen Umgebungserfassung für das statische Fahrzeugumfeld untersucht. Ausgehend von Radar-Detektionen untersucht diese Arbeit die gesamte Verarbeitungs- und Entwicklungskette eines Klassifikationssystems für Radar. Anhand eines großen Datensatzes wird gezeigt, dass die Klassifikation der statischen Welt vielversprechende Ergebnisse erzielt und dass durch gezielte Anpassungen der Algorithmen die Resultate deutlich verbessert werden können.

description: Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) has significant potential to contribute to global energy security and sustainability. However, the high initial Levelised Cost Of Energy (LCOE) of MRE, as well as issues with survivability and reliability, present challenges for its commercialisation. Predictive maintenance using Condition Monitoring Systems (CMS) addresses these challenges by improving availability and reducing operational expenditure. This is achieved by monitoring critical subsystems for the detection and prediction of faults and allowing for maintenance personnel to take mitigating action prior to subsystem or component failure. However, the design and application of CMS in MRE is not standardised due to the relatively nascent operational experience in the sector, as well as the great variety of Wave Energy Converter (WEC) operating principles. Furthermore, the balance between risk monitoring and cost reduction in CMS design is not readily accounted for in current reliability methods. A portfolio approach to sensor selection and risk reduction is therefore proposed, incorporating a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify and prioritise risks versus reward. This addresses the risk-reduction and cost-benefit trade-off in CMS design. This thesis presents two approaches to optimise risk-management and cost-benefit associated with a CMS sensor portfolio applied to MRE devices, using both an expert judgement, and a matrix-based optimisation for comparative purposes. In the former approach, sensor upgrades for an articulated WEC are divided into functional packages and expert judgement is used to determine sensor selection for a CMS portfolio based on the practical installation requirements of the sensors. Using the latter approach, sensor upgrades are made to the cooling system of an operational Tidal Energy Converter (TEC). Firstly, gathered upgrade data is used in conjunction with a physical model to observe deviation in cooling system performance. Secondly, changes in relationships between key cooling system variables are observed across a dataset spanning 6 months. The latter approach is found to effectively identify key application areas for sensor installation in a quantitative manner. The addition of sensors in a risk and cost optimised CMS portfolio offers a valuable practical compromise between: an expert’s best-guess qualitative approach (of limited comparative experience value in new applications) and extensive lifetime operational models (unavailable or unvalidated in MRE as data is too sparse). The risk and cost optimised CMS portfolio approach may be extended beyond MRE and applied to other industries, particularly benefitting practitioners in industries with relatively little experience in CMS design and operation.

description: Lo studio esamina il significato e le implicazioni giuridiche della cittadinanza europea. Dopo avere tratteggiato il concetto generale di cittadinanza e dei suoi diversi aspetti, in rapporto alla nazionalità e da un punto di vista storico-giuridico, vengono illustrate le caratteristiche salienti della cittadinanza europea anche sulla scorta della giurisprudenza Corte di Giustizia. A questo fine, l’analisi presta particolare attenzione al diritto di circolazione e di soggiorno dei cittadini degli Stati membri dell’Unione, rilevando come la cittadinanza europea consenta di far valere i connessi diritti anche nei confronti dello Stato di appartenenza, proprio in quanto il soggetto interessato risulta altresì “cittadino dell’Unione”. Ciò si evince da diverse pronunce della Corte di giustizia, come le sentenze Garcia Avello, Standesamt Stadt Niebüll o Rottmann. In via di conclusione, si auspica una trasformazione degli ordinamenti nazionali tale da poter permettere alla cittadinanza europea di ergersi a cittadinanza sociale contro ogni tipo di emarginazione e per una maggiore coesione economica, politica e sociale dei cittadini europei.

description: We study the possibility of constructing the NMSSM from the heterotic string. String derived NMSSMs are much more rare than MSSMs due to the extra requirement that there exist a light singlet which couples to the Higgs pairs. They share the common feature that the singlet self-interactions are typically suppressed, leading to either the "decoupling" or the Peccei-Quinn limit of the NMSSM. In the latter case, the spectrum contains a light pseudoscalar which may be relevant to the MSSM fine-tuning problem. We provide a Z_6 heterotic orbifold example of the NMSSM with approximate Peccei-Quinn symmetry, whose origin lies in the string selection rules combined with our choice of the vacuum configuration.

description: We present observations of the European Large-Area {\it ISO} Survey-North 1 (ELAIS-N1) at 325 MHz using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT), with the ultimate objective of identifying active galactic nuclei and starburst galaxies and examining their evolution with cosmic epoch. After combining the data from two different days we have achieved a median rms noise of $\approx40 μ$Jy beam$^{-1}$, which is the lowest that has been achieved at this frequency. We detect 1286 sources with a total flux density above $\approx270 μ$Jy. In this paper, we use our deep radio image to examine the spectral indices of these sources by comparing our flux density estimates with those of Garn et al. at 610 MHz with the GMRT, and surveys with the Very Large Array at 1400 MHz. We attempt to identify very steep spectrum sources which are likely to be either relic sources or high-redshift objects as well as inverted-spectra objects which could be Giga-Hertz Peaked Spectrum objects. We present the source counts, and report the possibility of a flattening in the normalized differential counts at low flux densities which has so far been reported at higher radio frequencies.

The effects of trophic interactions and climate change on the space use of an Arctic marine mesopredator
Creators: name: Florko, Katie R.N.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Habitats are heterogeneous landscapes that vary in resource type, abundance, and availability. Animals are expected to select habitat that maximizes energy acquisition to, in turn, increase fitness. As such, food availability influences animal distribution, and the movement of an animal may reveal information on their foraging patterns and food availability. Additionally, predator avoidance affects animal movement, distribution, and behavior. Understanding these dynamics is increasingly important for species that face anthropogenic-caused ecosystem change. I used satellite-telemetered ringed seals (Pusa hispida) in Hudson Bay as a study species to assess the relative influence of bottom-up and top-down pressures. First, I reviewed common statistical methods for using movement data to understand an animal’s relationship with its habitat and created a practical guide for ecologists. Next, using a dynamic bioclimate envelope model, I modeled the changes in the prey base of ringed seals from 1950 to 2100 and demonstrated a climate-driven regime shift in prey, with a 50% decline in the abundance of the well-distributed, ice-adapted and energy-rich Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida), and an increase in the smaller temperate-associated fish in southern and coastal areas. However, I found that all species declined in mean body size, despite an overall 29% increase in total prey biomass. Then, by linking the modeled prey data from 2006 to 2012 to ringed seal movement, I found that seal movement and foraging behavior relative to prey did not match commonly made assumptions, where I found that seals were foraging less in high prey areas. Finally, I considered daily estimates of ringed seal movement relative to polar bear habitat use and found that there were important interactions between prey diversity and polar bear habitat use, where seal movement, habitat selection, and foraging behavior were influenced by the dynamics between top-down and bottom-up pressures. I found that omitting either prey or predators in the seal models biased the estimates of an area’s importance. My thesis provides insight on the trophic interactions and pressures for an Arctic mesopredator in a changing climate and highlights the importance of considering interspecific interactions when modeling movement.
Level the Level: Balancing Game Levels for Asymmetric Player Archetypes With Reinforcement Learning

description: Balancing games, especially those with asymmetric multiplayer content, requires significant manual effort and extensive human playtesting during development. For this reason, this work focuses on generating balanced levels tailored to asymmetric player archetypes, where the disparity in abilities is balanced entirely through the level design. For instance, while one archetype may have an advantage over another, both should have an equal chance of winning. We therefore conceptualize game balancing as a procedural content generation problem and build on and extend a recently introduced method that uses reinforcement learning to balance tile-based game levels. We evaluate the method on four different player archetypes and demonstrate its ability to balance a larger proportion of levels compared to two baseline approaches. Furthermore, our results indicate that as the disparity between player archetypes increases, the required number of training steps grows, while the model's accuracy in achieving balance decreases.

An integral method for solving nonlinear eigenvalue problems

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics
subject: 65F15, 47J10

description: We propose a numerical method for computing all eigenvalues (and the corresponding eigenvectors) of a nonlinear holomorphic eigenvalue problem that lie within a given contour in the complex plane. The method uses complex integrals of the resolvent operator, applied to at least $k$ column vectors, where $k$ is the number of eigenvalues inside the contour. The theorem of Keldysh is employed to show that the original nonlinear eigenvalue problem reduces to a linear eigenvalue problem of dimension $k$. No initial approximations of eigenvalues and eigenvectors are needed. The method is particularly suitable for moderately large eigenvalue problems where $k$ is much smaller than the matrix dimension. We also give an extension of the method to the case where $k$ is larger than the matrix dimension. The quadrature errors caused by the trapezoid sum are discussed for the case of analytic closed contours. Using well known techniques it is shown that the error decays exponentially with an exponent given by the product of the number of quadrature points and the minimal distance of the eigenvalues to the contour.

I discuss various gamma-ray observations that give limits on predicted potential effects of Lorentz invariance violation. Among these are spectral data from ground based observations of the multi-TeV gamma-rays from nearby AGN, INTEGRAL detections of polarized soft gamma-rays from the vicinity of the Crab pulsar, Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope studies of photon propagation timing from gamma-ray bursts, and Auger data on the spectrum of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays. These results can be used to seriously constrain or rule out some models involving Planck scale physics. Possible implications of these limits for quantum gravity and Planck scale physics will be discussed.

description: Falls resulting in a hospital emergency department (ED) presentation are a serious issue for community-dwelling older adults. The critical success factors for falls prevention programs targeting this population are insufficiently understood. Health literacy is one factor increasingly associated with health outcomes. Health literacy has not previously been studied among older adults who present to ED after a fall. This thesis reports a comprehensive program evaluation of an RCT of a falls prevention program: RESPOND, and an analysis of the measurement properties of a health literacy measurement tool.

description: Injury is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Both can be reduced by prompt, systematic care. However, assessing or comparing outcomes over time or between regions is difficult without consistent injury severity assessments. The Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) is a severity-weighted injury classification system. AIS-derived summary scores can describe the severity of injured individuals and populations, and underpin many aspects of injury care. Injury diagnosis and management change over time. This thesis aims to develop and evaluate AIS-derived tools enabling the consistent prediction of fatal and non-fatal outcomes following injury, and to identify principles ensuring ongoing AIS relevancy.

description: We report an over-density of bright sub-millimetre galaxies (SMGs) in the 0.15 sq. deg. AzTEC/COSMOS survey and a spatial correlation between the SMGs and the optical-IR galaxy density at z 6 mJy), which is entirely incompatible with sample variance within our adopted blank-field number densities and infers an over-density significance of >> 4. We find that the over-density and spatial correlation to optical-IR galaxy density are most consistent with lensing of a background SMG population by foreground mass structures along the line of sight, rather than physical association of the SMGs with the z

Deliverable 1.1 - Contacted graphene nanoribbons and transport measurements

graphene

description: Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) grown epitaxially on silicon carbide (SiC) substrates could serve as key building block for future graphene-based nanoelectronic devices, and as platform to study quantum transport at the nanoscale. The deterministic and ordered growth of graphene on the silicon terminated face of SiC enables, in principle, the bottom-up growth of either zig-zag (ZZ) or armchair (AC) terminated GNRs (Fig.1). Baringhaus et al. showed that bottom-up grown GNRs are disorder-free and can support ballistic transport of carriers for distances of up to 16 um [1]. Such transport results have not been reproduced by other groups [1-3]. In this deliverable we report microfabrication and graphene growth processes to produce epitaxial GNRs on SiC. Moreover, we report our first results of electron transport obtained by contacting epitaxial GNRs. The ability to produce epitaxial GNRs lay the foundations for deliverable D1.3 (year 3), aiming at performing scanning tunneling spectroscopy of GNRs.
Endometriosis management in Australia: policy, practice and women’s experiences

description: Endometriosis is a common, inflammatory condition in which endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterus, leading to pain and adhesions. The research aim was to generate evidence on how endometriosis is managed in Australia, through investigating whether endometriosis meets the criteria for a chronic disease in Australian policy documents, exploring the role of self-management in managing endometriosis and reporting national data on medical history, treatment and health service usage among women with endometriosis. The research, policy and practice implications of these findings are discussed.

Characterization of novel stripe rust resistance in wheat relatives
Creators: name: Fetterley, Vincent
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Stripe rust of wheat is one of the most damaging wheat diseases, causing on average 2% yield losses every year around the world. Through plant breeding, resistant cultivars can be generated, which renders the use of fungicides obsolete, making it a durable and environmentally friendly way to control this disease. Due to the fast-evolving nature of the causal pathogen, Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, genes conferring resistance to stripe rust are often defeated following years of deployment in a certain agroecosystem, and new sources of resistance are continuously required to limit the yield losses due to stripe rust. Here, I turned to two bread wheat relatives, Aegilops tauschii and spelt wheat (Triticum aestivum subsp. spelta) for novel sources of stripe rust resistance genes. The identification of two spelt wheat cultivars resistant to stripe rust, ‘CDC Silex’ and ‘10Spelt17’ motivated efforts to identify the genetic region responsible for resistance, and for the introgression of this resistance in Canadian Western Red Spring wheat cultivars. Through the phenotyping of multiple bi-parental mapping populations, I showed that the resistance in both ‘CDC Silex’ and ‘10Spelt17’ is the same or allelic and is conferred by two complementary dominant genes. Efforts to map the region conferring resistance through BSA-seq was unsuccessful, potentially due to the small segregating population phenotyped in this study. Additionally, I showed that the resistance in both resistant spelt cultivars was silenced when transferred to a bread wheat background, through the phenotyping of F₁, F₂, F₂∶₃, and F₅ bi-parental individuals. Additionally, we identified two stripe rust resistance genes and one QTL conferring resistance to stripe rust at the seedling stage in an Aegilops tauschii diversity panel. One gene, previously cloned and identified as YrAS2388, conferred non-race specific resistance to all tested isolates, representative of the global Pst population. This gene was introgressed into a CWRS wheat genetic background through the use of Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR (KASP) markers developed as part of this study. An additional gene, temporally named YrW057, and a QTL on chromosome 6D, conferred race specific resistance to stripe rust isolates W057 and W052, respectively.
Real Time Dynamics of Hole Propagation in Strongly Correlated Conjugated Molecular Chains: A time-dependent DMRG Study

description: In this paper, we address the role of electron-electron interactions on the velocities of spin and charge transport in one-dimensional systems typified by conjugated polymers. We employ the Hubbard model to model electron-electron interactions. The recently developed technique of time dependent Density Matrix Renormalization Group (tdDMRG) is used to follow the spin and charge evolution in an initial wavepacket described by a hole doped in the ground state of the neutral system. We find that the charge and spin velocities are different in the presence of correlations and are in accordance with results from earlier studies; the charge and spin move together in the noninteracting picture while interaction slows down only the spin velocity. We also note that dimerization of the chain only weakly affects these velocities.

Towards an understanding of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in young Australian women
Creators: name: MARINA ASPASSIA SKIBA
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: Medicine

description: The work of this thesis involved the design and execution of the Grollo-Ruzzene Young Women’s Health study (GR study), involving 7000 Australian women, aged 18-39 years, who each completed a comprehensive online questionnaire. Sub-groups provided a blood sample and ovarian ultrasound. This research documented blood sex hormone levels for young women and their association with the key factors used in the diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Uncertainty in the accuracy of the diagnosis of PCOS was demonstrated due to loosely defined diagnostic criteria resulting in high risk of misdiagnosis of this condition.
