Comment on the subdifferential formula given in the article "Algorithmic Analysis and Statistical Estimation of SLOPE via Approximate Message Passing"
2023
Subdifferential formula for the sorted 1 norm attracted lot of attention recently to derive screening procedures for SLOPE [5, 7], clustering and sparsity properties for SLOPE [1, 10] and explicit expressions for the proximal operator of the sorted 1 norm [4, 11]. In this note, we discuss the formula for the subdifferential of the sorted 1 norm given in the article of Bu et al., [3]. We believe that expressing the sorted 1 norm as the maximum of linear functions, as suggested by the authors, is an appropriate approach to derive its subdifferential. However the formula provided in this article contains many flaws and we hope that authors would take into account this note in order to rewrite …

The world of public research seems at first sight to be very little concerned by themanagement issues of the business world in which the right decisions must be taken and forwhich there is an obligation to perform. The very idea of coaching researchers seemsincongruous. The purpose of this study is to challenge this idea, by describing precisely whatthe profession of researcher is in the world of public research - their belonging to very complexstructures and the demanding challenges they have to face - then by studying thecontributions of cognitive-behavioural coaching methodologies. The analysis of the practiceshows that coaching based on constructivist psychology can lead to a better pra…

‘Integration is not a one-way process’ : students negotiating meanings of integration and internationalization at home (IaH) in Finnish higher educat…
2023
Internationalization at home (IaH) policies in higher education institutions (HEIs) are rarely negotiated with and by students. Therefore, students’ takes on such policies could be missed opportunities for HEIs. This qualitative study investigates international and local students’ negotiations and meaning-making of integration and IaH as stated by institutional policies. The data consist of online forum entries and reports from small group discussions between 40 students in English medium master’s programs in Finland (Europe). The key concepts of ideology and imaginary serve as entries into data analysis, which consists of enunciative discourse analysis. The findings indicate a perceived hi…
Miljøøkonomiske virkemidler som drivere til fornybar energi
2023
Med bakgrunn i den imperative rollen av fornybar energi som tilnærming for å forebygge miljøødeleggelser, er kunnskap om effekter av virkemidler avgjørende. I denne studien forsøker jeg å identifisere hvorvidt implementerte miljøøkonomiske virkemidler har en effekt på fornybar energiproduksjon i Norge. Ved anvendelse av autoregressiv distribuert lag (ARDL) modell og en feiljusteringsmodell (ECM) undersøker jeg effekter av inneværende og tidligere pris på utslipp og energirettet forskning og utvikling på produksjonen av fornybar energi i Norge for årene 2005 til 2022. Pris på utslipp måles gjennom den norske karbonavgiften og det omsettelige kvotemarkedet EU ETS. Tidligere verdier av produks…

Tieteen sensurointiyritykset ja tutkijoiden itsesensuuri uhkaavat akateemista vapautta
2023
Tunnen tukijoita, jotka ovat hylänneet herkullisen tutkimusaiheen, koska heitä on pelottanut, että he joutuisivat kiistanalaisen aiheen tutkimisen takia vihamielisten tahojen tikun nokkaan. Heitäkin enemmän tunnen tutkijoita, jotka eivät suostu haastateltaviksi mediassa tai jotka eivät puhu julkisissa tilaisuuksissa tutkimuksensa tuloksista heihin kohdistuvien hyökkäysten pelossa. nonPeerReviewed

Diseño, implantación y evaluación de la eficiencia de un modelo de gestión por procesos de la enfermedad litiásica urinaria en una unidad de litotricia. Introducción y Objetivo La enfermedad litiásica (EL) tiene un carácter crónico definido por distintos factores de riesgo que no se han ponderado ni relacionado entre sí, para poder establecer grupos de riesgo, ni establecido su seguimiento. El presente trabajo pretendió coordinar los distintos factores demográficos, metabólicos, anatómicos, etc. que influyen en la EL creando un nuevo modelo de gestión de la misma, basado en la pirámide poblacional de Kaiser-Permanente. Con ello se generó una clasificación de estos pacientes en distintos gru…

2023
Nicolás Achúcarro Lund (Bilbao, 1880-Guecho, 1918) es probablemente uno de los personajes científicos más brillantes de la hoy universalmente reconocida Escuela Histológica Española. A pesar de su corta vida, ya que falleció sin haber cumplido los 38 años, su producción científica es muy abundante y de gran trascendencia neurocientífica. Su obra micrográfica abre paso a la genial obra llevada a cabo por su principal discípulo Pío del Río-Hortega. Ambos personajes son sin duda responsables de la investigación neuropatológica más relevante que se ha producido en nuestro país. El objeto del presente estudio es dar noticia y difusión de un manuscrito de Achúcarro redactado en agosto de 1907, pr…
How can algorithms help in segmenting users and customers? : A systematic review and research agenda for algorithmic customer segmentation
2023
What algorithm to choose for customer segmentation? Should you use one algorithm or many? How many customer segments should you create? How to evaluate the results? In this research, we carry out a systematic literature review to address such central questions in customer segmentation research and practice. The results from extracting information from 172 relevant articles show that algorithmic customer segmentation is the predominant approach for customer segmentation. We found researchers employing 46 different algorithms and 14 different evaluation metrics. For the algorithms, K-means clustering is the most employed. For the metrics, separation-focused metrics are slightly more prevalent…

Figure della maternità e itinerari dell’attesa negli oggetti del Museo etnografico siciliano Giuseppe Pitrè
2023
Il contributo propone una riflessione sul tema della maternità che lega, come un filo rosso, gli oggetti del Museo etnografico siciliano Giuseppe Pitrè e ne struttura la narrazione. Lo sguardo rivolto alle collezioni e al loro ordinamento restituisce la centralità di una tematica che riflette il senso profondo della cultura che gli oggetti comunicano e svela, attraverso i suoi simboli, i significati contestuali delle sue figure: le madri e i loro corpi, le madrine e i loro ruoli, le levatrici e le loro potenzialità. The contribution proposes a reflection on the theme of motherhood that links the objects of the Sicilian Ethnographic Museum Giuseppe Pitrè as a core idea and a narrative struct…

L’appréhension de l’inceste non-consenti par le droit pénal. Réflexions comparatistes sur l’usage du mot inceste en droit pénal
2023
Les infractions sexuelles visant des personnes vulnérables soulèvent deux types de problème. D’abord, celle de l’appréhension du consentement à une relation sexuelle pour les personnes au-dessus de l’âge de la majorité sexuelle. Ensuite, celle de l’effet psychologique que de telles infractions peuvent avoir sur les victimes et qui justifient une modulation du régime de prescription. Au sein de ces débats, certaines spécificités ressortent s’agissant des relations intra-familiales non consenties. L’appréhension du consentement sexuel peut en effet être rendue compliquée par de telles relations. De même, l’effet psychologique de l’inceste pourrait en théorie justifier certaines normes dérogat…
Napoleone Colajanni e il socialismo
2023
Il socialismo, nella visione di Napoleone Colajanni, avrebbe operato meglio se alla lotta di classe si fosse sostituito il metodo di un avanzamento graduale di innovazioni e riforme da applicare ai diversi ambiti della società. Stava qui, secondo lui, la chiave di lettura di un socialismo davvero scientifico, insieme alla possibilità di pervenire a una patria effettivamente repubblicana caratterizzata da un ampio decentramento diramato in forma federale e municipale. Questo suo approccio intellettuale ne pone l’opera all’interno di un dibattito sul pensiero socialista non appena italiano, ma senz’altro europeo.

Towards a Green Energy Transition: REPowerEU Directive vs Environmental Acquis
2023
The article provides a brief overview and assessment of the proposed measures against the respective political and legal background. It shows that the proposed measures, while generally guided by legitimate objectives, were not properly balanced with the other EU environmental policies. In this context it claims lack of a profound debate regarding the scope and means for such balancing and considers this as a fundamental issue to be addressed before submitting any concrete measures. It then compares the proposed measures with some of the official proclamations in the Europesan Green Deal and shows issues of concern in relation to some of the concrete proposed measures. Finally, it assesses …

Obesity is a worldwide epidemic problem which is among the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and 30% of mortality. Previous investigations have demonstrated that mortality from CVD is more than three times higher in obese people than in normal-weight people. Due to these facts, it is necessary to continue the efforts to control obesity and overweight. Medication, health education and diet are the most common ways to manage and control obesity. As well as the implementation of a specific nutritional style along with the practice of physical exercise, are the most traditionally used methods to treat obesity. Physical exercise, represent an effective strategy to prev…
