description: Due to the high demand, orchid propagation by in vitro techniques has lately increased, with an emphasis on the ways to improve germination and seedling development. In this work we compare the efficiency of three classic media for orchid propagation with a newly formulated medium supplemented with almond milk. Our target species responded differently to both the media and the supplement. However, with the exception of Bulbophyllum plumatum that did not show statistical differences with the most common media, a beneficial effect on orchid development growing on the new supplemented medium was observed for Cymbidium tracyanum, Dendrobium wardianum and for the two European orchid species Dactylorhiza praetermissa and Himantoglossum robertianum, speeding up the development of the latter two species into photosynthetic stages. The new medium could be, therefore, suitable for improving the development of some ornamental orchids and terrestrial orchid seedlings included in conservation projects that need an ex situ approach.
Declaring Amnesty on Prostitution: A Marxist Feminist Defense of Amnesty International’s Call for Decriminalization of Sex Work

description: This essay won or received an honorable mention for The Boothe Prize for excellence in first-year writing. The Boothe Prize recognizes and rewards outstanding expository and argumentative writing by undergraduate students in first-year classes that satisfy the WR 1 requirement. In each award-winning essay, student writers demonstrate clarity of argument, excellent integration of research-based evidence, and compelling prose style.
This essay brings the lens of Marxist feminism to bear on the debate around the extent to which sex work should be decriminalized, to offer a fresh take. According to this framework, the prostitute can be both a “worker” and a victim, just like every other laborer in the capitalist system. Until that hegemonic system gives way to a more equitable one, Ho Kyung argues that we should treat prostitution as any other form of waged labor—recognizing its harmfulness, but neither burdening it with punitive regulations nor singling it for special opprobrium.

description: In Europe, the genus Bolboschoenus has recently undergone many taxonomic revision studies, but in Italy a review of the materials conserved in herbaria, in accordance with the most recent taxonomic literature, was still missing. The aim of this study was therefore to review Bolboschoenus species from Italy, based on herbarium data. The specimens deposited in the main Italian herbaria were analyzed by a morphometric study, based on measurements and statistical analyses of the characters most commonly used in the updated taxonomic literature. Moreover, an analysis of the national distribution of the resulting species was carried on, also taking into account Italian data from international herbaria, previously used in specialist works. The study confirmed the diagnostic importance of some traits related to the achene morphology and anatomy, in particular the ratio between mesocarp and exocarp. On the other hand, some inflorescence-related characters, which were commonly used in the past, proved to have less discriminant power. The study revealed various distribution novelties, also with respect to the most recent national botanical literature. Finally, B. yagara was reported for the first time in Italy.

description: Generating materials with nano-structured surfaces has been a focus of research in the last few years, especially for biomedical applications due to their unique physical, chemical and biological properties. A number of nanostructured materials has been introduced, however the multidimensional cell activities that taking place at the surface biointerfaces require more in-depth understandings for their successful applications. The findings included in this PhD thesis contribute to the body of knowledge on how pathogenic bacteria and mammalian cells specifically response to different types of surface nanostructures, offering a prospect of success in designing long-term antibacterial, biocompatible materials.

description: Vertical springing motions of a tension leg platform (TLP) under random wave loads are studied. Nonlinear diffraction results are used to include second-order sum-frequency loads. 

Statistics of platform motions and accelerations are obtained. Moment statistics are found through eigenvalue analysis, which recasts the second­ order response as a quadratic sum of independent normal random variables. Rates of extremes and fatigue damage are then estimated analytically from a non-Gaussian (Hermite) random process model. These results are weighted over North Sea scattergrams to find long-term extreme and fatigue statistics. 

In predicting extreme springing responses, it is found useful to consider several design seastate: one with extreme Hs ("wave height driven") and another with resonant second-order effects ("wave period driven"). These are found to provide good agreement with critical seastates found by full FORM analysis. 
For the Snorre TLP model, fatigue damage rates are underestimated by 60% if second-order effects are neglected. Far greater accuracy is found if second-order effects are retained in response rms alone: non-Gaussian effects cause only 5% additional damage. IL is also found that second-order springing effects on fatigue can be considerably greater for more flexible systems.

description: Understanding metabolic variations of plant essential oils (EOs) in response to different growth conditions is of great importance for bioprospecting and standardizing purposes. In this study, combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) based metabolomics and bioassay experiments were carried out to identify chemical differences in W. trilobata EO grown in field and those grown in controlled conditions. Subsequently, the chemical profiles were correlated with their ability to inhibit germination, shoot and root growths of weedy rice and lettuce. Results showed that EO grown in controlled condition was abundant in sesquiterpene hydrocarbons whereas field-grown EO accumulated large amounts of monoterpenes. Principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) indicated the chemical composition of isolated EOs varied considerably. PLS regression revealed that seed germinations of weedy rice and lettuce were susceptible to W. trilobata EO grown in controlled condition and nonanal may contributed to the phytotoxic activity of the EO. The field-grown EO exhibited strong inhibitory activity against shoot and root growths of weedy rice and lettuce, while α-phellandrene, terpinen-4-ol, trans-pinocarveol and pinocarvone might be responsible for the inhibitory activity. The findings highlight the combination of metabolomics and bioassays to provide a metabolic understanding and bioprospecting potential of W. trilobata EO as bio-herbicides.

description: Sedges (Cyperaceae) are commonly pollinated by wind, but some transitions from wind to insect pollination have been reported in tropical sedges. Despite being a temperate sedge, the pollination strategy of Rhynchospora alba may partly depend on insects, as suggested by its white-colored inflorescences. Here we quantify the contribution of insects to the reproductive fitness of R. alba as an exploration of the success of entomophily in temperate sedges. Honeybees and hoverflies seem to be the primary visitors of R. alba in the study site, and pollen of R. alba was recovered from the mouthparts and legs of the insects. Treatments excluding insects led to a lower reproductive fitness (regarding fruit weight and fruit viability) than those not excluding them. Therefore, insects seem to contribute significantly to the pollination of R. alba despite moderate morphological adaptation. We highlight the role of entomophily as an overlooked reproductive mechanism in cold-temperate sedges.

description: È attuale convinzione diffusa che il sistema pubblico rappresenti un ostacolo e un peso per i cittadini e per le imprese. Questa percezione negativa è suffragata da molti elementi, ma è in parte superabile assicurando ai pubblici amministratori, attuali o futuri, un’adeguata formazione, intesa come trasmissione di una vera e propria cultura amministrativa, necessaria per ‘far funzionare’ l’amministrazione. Manca infatti la consapevolezza del fatto che i primi interpreti e applicatori della legislazione amministrativa siano proprio le pubbliche amministrazioni. Tale mancata consapevolezza dipende in parte dal modo in cui lo studio del diritto amministrativo è tradizionalmente impostato. Nelle aule universitarie e nella successiva formazione postuniversitaria dovrebbe invece essere trasmessa anche l’arte dell’utilizzo delle norme nell’esercizio concreto del potere amministrativo e quindi del rapporto fra testi giuridici e azione amministrativa, senza trascurare la dimensione linguistica di tale rapporto.

description: In view of the rapidly declining native plant cover due to existing harsh climate and uncontrolled grazing, Kuwait has undertaken initiatives to revegetate the desert land with native species to improve plant cover, soil stabilization, biodiversity and ecological processes. Because of the high temperature during long summer months and sandy soil types, transplanted seedlings are irrigated regularly, mostly with brackish groundwater. This study was undertaken to evaluate survival, growth and proline accumulation of transplanted Vachellia pachyceras, Rhanterium epapposum, Farsetia aegyptia and Haloxylon salicornicum seedlings that were irrigated with four levels of saline water ranging from EC 1.6 to 5.5 dS/m for 14 months. Irrigation with different salinity levels had no significant effect on seedlings survival in V. pachyceras, H. salicornicum and R. epapposum while F. aegyptia exhibited only 38% survival under brackish water irrigation. Total plant biomass declined with increasing salinity in irrigation water except in R. epapposum. However, salinity of irrigation water did not increase proline content. Present results suggest that revegetation involving these four native species can be implemented using brackish groundwater with salinity level up to EC of 5.5 dS/m in arid and semiarid regions where freshwater is scarce and need for revegetation is critically important.

description: Salvia (sage) is a species rich and medicinally important genus. Species-level identification is usually very difficult, particularly in closely related species. Here, we investigated nutlet micromorphological characteristics of 51 taxa belonging to S. subg. Salvia, S. subg. Sclarea and Salvia verticillata clade (S. subg. Heterosphace) by stereo binocular microscopy and scanning electron microscopy to show their taxonomic and phylogenetic value. The present study is the most comprehensive nutlet micromorphological study based on the number of taxa studied in the genus so far. The size of nutlets varies from 1.61 mm (S. verticillata subsp. verticillata) to 8.44 mm (S. albimaculata) in length, 1.02 mm (S. verticillata subsp. verticillata) to 4.20 mm (S. macrochlamys) in width. Nutlet length/width ratio ranges from 1.02 (S. bracteata and S. indica) to 3.06 (S. albimaculata). The basic shape of nutlets is elliptic, widely elliptic, circular, ovate or obovate. Five nutlet sculpturing patterns are present namely colliculate, reticulate, verrucate, rugose and foveate. The variation of surface sculpturing, nutlet shape, size, and exocarp cell shape provide useful diagnostic properties at species and subgenus level. However, nutlet micromorphological characters are of low phylogenetic value in studied Salvia species.
It's not all about that bas: trait bipolar disorder vulnerability weakly correlated with trait bas and not predictive of risky decision-making

description: The behavioural activation system (BAS) theory of bipolar disorder proposes that abnormalities in reward sensitivity are involved in the onset and maintenance of bipolar disorder. Three studies were conducted within the overall thesis project. The first study investigated the BAS theory using questionnaire responses to assess personality traits; the second study utilised three risky decision-making tasks; and the third study applied a mood induction to manipulate mood state during a risky decision-making task. The findings across the three studies were inconclusive regarding the BAS theory of bipolar disorder, but generated ideas for methodological improvements implementable in future.

description: Saxifraga florulenta is a monocarpic species endemic to SW Alps, whose reproductive biology is still unknown. Its knowledge may provide useful information on how the species may face the global warming. In this study, we investigated the plant–pollinator interactions and the mating system of the plant. We described the phenology of the inflorescences, we evaluated the type of pollinators, we verified self and cross-pollination and lastly we quantified the reproductive success of the plants. In spite of the low visitation rate of pollinators, S. florulenta shows high fruit set and seed set. The plant exhibits a prolonged flowering period and has a definite inflorescence, characterized by a sequential blooming bearing both female- or male-phase flowers at the same time; in addition, flowers show a delayed maturation and movement of stamens. These floral and inflorescence traits lead to a mixed reproduction mode which guarantees reproductive success by adopting the “best of two worlds” strategy. The species maximizes its resource investment by having inflorescence size and number of flowers directly related to plant size, whilst fruit and seed set as well as seeds per flower did not show any statistically significant relationship with plant size.

description: This study describes the morpho-environmental fluctuations, and the haplotypic variability of a taxonomic group, in order to understand the phenotypic capacity to respond to environmental variations. The Dianthus pungens group was selected as the taxonomic cluster for the purpose of this study. One species and five subspecies occur along the western Mediterranean basin, between SE France and NW Morocco. One clustering of morphological (223 locations) and environmental (350 locations) combinations was correlated with the haplotypic results obtained from 28 locations and 89 individuals. Morpho-environmental fluctuations were described, as well a highly redundant morphological response in the studied area. Similar results were observed for haplotypic combinations. Redundancy effect is described as a consequence of its recent origin and the intense glacial and interglacial changes across the Plio-Pleistocene period. The observed environmental variability was not significantly correlated with morphogenetic divergences. Based on the observed patterns of morpho-environmental variations no specific or subspecific combinations are recommended. However, D. hispanicus (eastern Iberian Peninsula) showed possible morpho-environmental divergences with D. brachyanthus-D. gredensis-D. langeanus (mountain systems of the western and central Iberian Peninsula, Pyrenees, and Sierra Nevada -SE Spain-).

description: Mercury (Hg) toxicity impairs plant growth and yield. Thus, a better understanding of Hg-induced impairment is needed. In alfalfa, Hg toxicity caused a significant decrease in morphological parameters, as well as increased electrolyte leakage and cell death. The Hg toxicity also adversely affected chlorophyll score and Fv/Fm (maximal quantum yield of PSII) in leaves. This was linked to lower MsIRT1 (Fe-regulated transporter) expression in roots, implying that Hg hinders Fe acquisition in alfalfa. Further, MsSULTR1;2 (sulfate transporter 1.2) and MsSULTR1;3 (sulfate transporter 1.3) were downregulated accompanied by the lower S status in root and shoot, indicating disturbance in S uptake in Hg-treated alfalfa. In silico analysis demonstrated that MsIRT1, MsSULTR1;2 and MsSULTR1;3 proteins are localized in the plasma membrane and showed close partnerships with several Arabidopsis genes, such as FRO2 (ferric reduction oxidase 2), FRU (FER-like regulator of Fe), bHLH39 (stress-responsive bHLH transcription factor) and protein domains (sulfate anion transporter, SLC26A/SuIP transporter) mainly linked to Fe and S uptake, respectively. Finally, photosynthetic disturbance induced by low Fe and S levels along with oxidative stress in cells is related to growth retardation in Hg-exposed alfalfa. These results could be used to develop Hg-tolerant alfalfa plants through breeding or transgenic programs.

description: Vanda ‘Tan Chay Yan’, a beautiful golden-orange orchid with mild fragrance, is valuable in the floral industry. In this study, the volatile compounds from the flowers were profiled and a transcriptome library was created to search for fragrance-related transcripts. Volatiles from the tepals were captured using a SPME device with PDMS-coated fibre for GC-MS analysis. A transcriptome library was constructed and sequenced using the Illumina MiSeq Desktop Sequencer, de novo assembled using CLC Genomic Workbench version 6.0. BLASTx analysis, functional annotations and gene mapping of the annotated genes to the KEGG database were carried out using the Blast2go Pro software. Twelve compounds were identified in the volatiles including monoterpenes (93.19%), sesquiterpenes (4.32%) and traces of other compounds (2.49%) whereby cis-β-ocimene topped the list as the major constituent (88.41%). De novo assembly of the transcriptome generated a total of 34,027 sequences from which 20 fragrance-related transcripts in the terpenoid and benzenoid/phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathways were identified. Combined information garnered from the volatiles and fragrance-related transcripts highlights the basic information on the fragrance constituents and biosynthetic pathways of this orchid which are useful for orchid breeders in selection of parents for new hybrids with fragrance as their value-added characteristic for the floriculture industry.

description: Abstract: Climate variability is a highly disruptive phenomenon of daily life in rural communities due to social, infrastructural and economic factors. Although studies on the effects of climate variability are numerous, the novelty of the one presented here lies in transcending the economic dimension, addressing the nature-community-tradition relationship and delving into the symbolic aspects of adaptation. The objective of the study was to explore the imaginary of the Coreguaje people on climate variability and adaptation. The methodology used was qualitative with a hermeneutic design approach based on intensive fieldwork, transcription of interviews and triangulation. The results of the study showed three main themes in which the imaginary of the Coreguaje people can be represented. These themes were characterized by a strong rupture between past and present, the impact of climate instability on the organization of daily life, the progressive loss of ancestral values and knowledge, as well as an increasingly complex transfer of the Coreguaje heritage to the new generations. In addition, it was found that climate variability has put the sedentary way of life of the community at risk, has undermined its autonomy and food security, has promoted limited transformations and adaptations, and has made it difficult to relate to new external factors caused by the settlement of colonists and the introduction of new worldviews. The findings validate the importance of supporting rural communities without undermining their traditions and point to the need to implement alternatives to strengthen community resilience in the Resguardo studied.

Keywords (in English): climate change, climate variability, community resilience, hermeneutics, social imaginaries.

Creators: name: Nguyen, Thi Chinh
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This quantitative study investigates how governments address information governance and information management in two different contexts of Gov 2.0 in Australia and Vietnam. To do this, this study develops a unified theoretical framework for information governance and management focusing key components in regards to people, technology, policies, and processes and practices. This study also indicates how the country context and employees‟ characteristics affect their perceptions and current experiences in information governance and management in the process of Gov 2.0 adoption. Furthermore, respective responsibilities for two these areas have been identified and addressed in this study.

description: Il saggio si concentra sulle attuali difficoltà delle facoltà giuridiche osservandole nella più ampia prospettiva della crisi della cultura giuridica e delle società occidentali. Per la prima volta, forse, il giurista scopre oggi la pochezza e la povertà e l’insufficienza del suo ruolo. Ci si chiede come sia possibile, per i nostri studi, riguadagnare appeal. L'autore respinge risposte troppo semplicistiche (i giuristi devono svolgere solo un'attività tecnica e settoriale, e i dipartimenti di diritto devono solo impartire una formazione professionale in senso stretto). È conveniente (e spesso necessario) rinnovare i metodi di insegnamento, ma occorre anche salvaguardare l'identità del giurista, che proviene dalla sua tradizione e dalla sua cultura. La storia e la teoria del diritto non sono un "bene di lusso": costruiscono piuttosto strumenti per l’interpretazione e l’argomentazione, formare l’attitudine all'esame dei casi, a migliorare l'analisi giuridica. Il mercato del lavoro - oggi e ancor più domani - richiede soprattutto queste conoscenze: nulla è più utile di ciò che è (apparentemente) non necessario.

Publisher: name: RomaTrE-Press

description: L'articolo vuole essere un contributo alla riflessione sul superamento dell'attuale modello di formazione del giurista. Le sue linee guida sono il solido radicamento nella dimensione storica e culturale del diritto, rifuggendo da provinciali imitazioni esterofile, accompagnata però da una forte flessbilizzazione - soprattutto nel biennio finale - che dovrebbe consentire una marcata differenziazione fra le diverse sedi e la promozione di vocazioni tematiche. Il punto centrale è però il sovvertimento di modelli didattici privi di qualsivoglia riflessione pedagogica e la comprensione che per formare cittadini giuristi è necessario attingere alla vasta metodologia innovativa dell' "imparare facendo" attraverso strumenti quali le cliniche legali, le competizioni internazionali, i corsi in lingua diversa dall'italiano, nell'insegnamento di tecniche non solo avversarie, ma anche cooperative, negoziali e di mediazione.

Information flow control for comparative privacy analyses

description: The prevalence of web tracking and its key characteristics have been extensively investigated by the research community by means of large-scale web measurements. Most such measurements however are limited to the choice of a specific client used for data collection, which is insufficient to characterize the relative privacy guarantees offered by the adoption of different clients to access the Web. Recent work on comparative privacy analyses involving multiple clients is still preliminary and relies on relatively simple heuristics to detect web tracking based on the inspection of HTTP requests, cookies and API usage. In this paper, we propose a more sophisticated methodology based on information flow tracking, which is better suited for the complexity of comparing tracking behavior observed in different clients. After clarifying the key challenges of comparative privacy analyses, we apply our methodology to investigate web tracking practices on the top 10k websites from Tranco as observed by different clients, i.e., Firefox and Brave, under different configuration settings. Our analysis estimates information flow reduction to quantify the privacy benefits offered by the filter lists implemented in Firefox and Brave, as well as the effectiveness of their partitioned storage mechanism against cross-site tracking.
Can GPT-4 learn to analyse moves in research article abstracts?

description: One of the most powerful and enduring ideas in written discourse analysis is that genres can be described in terms of the moves which structure a writer's purpose. Considerable research has sought to identify these distinct communicative acts, but analyses have been beset by problems of subjectivity, reliability and the time-consuming need for multiple coders to confirm analyses. In this paper we employ the affordances of GPT-4 to automate the annotation process by using natural language prompts. Focusing on abstracts from articles in four applied linguistics journals, we devise prompts which enable the model to identify moves effectively. The annotated outputs of these prompts were evaluated by two assessors with a third addressing disagreements. The results show that an 8-shot prompt was more effective than one using two, confirming that the inclusion of examples illustrating areas of variability can enhance GPT-4's ability to recognize multiple moves in a single sentence and reduce bias related to textual position. We suggest that GPT-4 offers considerable potential in automating this annotation process, when human actors with domain specific linguistic expertise inform the prompting process.

description: We explore the feasibility of using TeV-energy muons to probe lepton-flavor-violating (LFV) processes mediated by an axion-like particle (ALP) $a$ with mass $\mathcal{O}(10~\textrm{GeV})$. We focus on $μτ$ LFV interactions and assume that the ALP is coupled to a dark state $χ$, which can be either less or more massive than $a$. Such a setup is demonstrated to be consistent with $χ$ being a candidate for dark matter, in the experimentally relevant regime of parameters. We consider the currently operating NA64-$μ$ experiment and proposed FASER$ν$2 detector as both the target and the detector for the process $μA \to τA\, a$, where $A$ is the target nucleus. We also show that a possible future active muon fixed-target experiment operating at a 3 TeV muon collider or in its preparatory phase can provide an impressive reach for the LFV process considered, with future FASER$ν$2 data providing a pilot study towards that goal. The implications of the muon anomalous magnetic moment $(g-2)_μ$ measurements for the underlying model, in case of a positive signal, are also examined, and a sample UV completion is outlined.

The Current Legal Basis and  Governance Structures of the EU's External Action
Creators: name: Szép, Viktor

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: This Working Paper explores the current legal basis and governance structures of the European Union’s (EU) “external action plus”. In our understanding, the notion of “external action plus” not only includes the foreign, security and defence policy, trade, sanctions policy, development cooperation or humanitarian aid but also EU sectoral policies with an external dimension. In line with this definition, this Working Paper presents both the traditional external action areas of common commercial policy, sanctions policy and development cooperation and humanitarian aid, as well as the external dimension of some internal policy areas, including competition, health and environment. Despite several Treaty amendments, the EU’s external actions are still fragmented and competences are scattered throughout the two Treaties. The list of common objectives under Article 21(2) of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) or the dual role of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (HR/VP) are clear attempts to overcome the “bipolarity” of EU external actions. The continued existence of different legal bases that enable the Union to act externally still represents a significant challenge for EU policymakers.
