Reply to “Caution in underrepresentation of older adults in clinical trials on COVID-19 vaccines”
2021
We would like to thank Chen et al. for their comments on our recently published paper in Ageing Research Reviews (Veronese et al., 2021). In this reply we would like to answer to the points raised in their letter. Regarding the first question, we decided to run our search only in PubMed/Medline and ClinicalTrials.gov since the phase II-III randomized controlled trials of SARS-CoV 2 vaccines, considering the urgency for interventions to ameliorate the pandemic situation, received a great deal of interest. Therefore, they were usually published in high impact factor journals, reported in PubMed, and their protocols were usually reported in clinicaltrials.gov. However, following the suggestion…

Efficient techniques for fault detection and location of multiple controlled Toffoli-based reversible circuit
2021
It is very important to detect and correct faults for ensuring the validity and reliability of these circuits. In this regard, a comparative study with related existing techniques is undertaken. Two techniques to achieve the testability of reversible circuits are introduced that have been improved in terms of quantum cost and fault coverage rate. Considering this aspect, the main focus of these techniques is on the efficient detection and location of faults with 100% accuracy. These techniques for fault detection in reversible circuit design, in addition to being able to produce the correct outputs, can also provide information for fault location that has already been done at a higher cost.…

Premessa
2021
Il volume cerca di ricostruire il volto attuale del delitto di abuso di ufficio, di cui all’art. 323 del codice penale, sul quale il legislatore è nuovamente intervenuto con il d.l. 16.7.2020, n. 76, convertito (sul punto) senza modificazioni dalla l. 11.9.2020, n. 120. Si tratta, in effetti, di una disposizione che ha sofferto l’interventismo del legislatore italiano, peraltro non coronato dal conseguimento degli ambiziosi (e talvolta antitetici) obiettivi prefissati: garantire la repressione penale e, al contempo, costruire una norma determinata, in grado di conferire certezze ai pubblici agenti e di limitare l’intervento della magistratura penale. Così, si è passati dall’abuso “innominat…
Neutron excitations in 119Ba
2021
The neutron-deficient 119Ba nucleus has been studied using the 58Ni(64Zn,2pn) reaction and the JUROGAM 3 γ-ray detector array coupled to the MARA recoil-mass separator setup. One new rotational band and several low-lying states are newly identified. A half-life of T1/2=0.36(2)μs has been measured for the 5/2− bandhead of the νh11/2 band. The two previously known rotational bands are confirmed, except for the higher part of the +1/2 signature partner of the positive-parity band. Configurations are assigned based on the analysis of the observed quasiparticle alignments whose nature is unveiled by the calculations using the particle number conserving cranked shell model. peerReviewed

Research-Based Social Work Profession in the Finnish Welfare State
2021
This chapter examines the Finnish model of social work education from the perspective of the European system of higher education. The analysis is framed by the fast development of the social-democratic welfare state. Formalised social worker education started in 1942 as a two-year bachelor’s degree that was vocationally oriented with the purpose of providing municipalities a sufficient labour force. From the 1970s onwards, social work education started its process of academisation, and in 1994 social work became its own scientific discipline. Currently, Finnish social work education places strong emphasis on research and research-based understanding of social work. Social work education is …

The joint evolution of learning and dispersal maintains intraspecific diversity in metapopulations
2021
The evolution of dispersal tendencies and of cognitive abilities have both been intensely studied. Yet little attention has been given to the question of how these two aspects may relate to each other, as a result of their joint evolution. On the one hand, learning abilities may help dispersers to cope with their new habitat. On the other hand, dispersal may sometimes reduce the need for learning, because local environments may differ in how much there is to learn. To get a better understanding of this relationship, we built an individual‐based simulation in which both learning speed and dispersal tendency were free to evolve. We found that both positive and negative correlations could evol…

Spettacoli e feste popolari in Sicilia
2021
Lo spettacolo teatrale tradizionale è il luogo e il tempo in cui ci si ritrova insieme per assistere a una narrazione, all’esposizione e alla riconferma di principi e valori condivisi. Occasione dunque solo esteriormente profana, poiché la storia civica, la leggenda, il fatto storico detengono sempre un valore sacrale declinando quell’etica collettiva che nella religione trova fondamento e legittimazione. A sua volta, la “festa”, in primo luogo festa religiosa, occasione elettiva di riunione tra gli uomini con le proprie Madonne, i propri Cristi e i propri Santi, con i numi tutelari della comunità e garanti della sua continuità nel tempo, momento di culto e di fede intimamente vissuta, …
Production of ethyl lactate by activated carbon-supported Sn and Zn oxide catalysts utilizing lignocellulosic side streams
2021
In this study, activated carbon-supported Sn and Zn oxide catalysts were prepared from hydrolysis lignin and used for the conversion of model solutions of trioses, hexoses, and lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysates to ethyl lactate. Both catalysts, SnO2@AC and ZnO@AC, were able to produce ethyl lactate in high yields. SnO2@AC was a more active and selective catalyst in triose (dihydroxyacetone) conversion, providing 99% yield to ethyl lactate. ZnO@AC, by contrast, was more selective in glucose and hydrolysate conversion, with a yield of 60% and 85%, respectively. The ethyl lactate yields were significantly higher than those from the optimized model solution experiments when using ZnO@AC cata…
