Nihil addo, ducas licet. La addictio del iudicatus en una atelana de Novio (fr. 115 Ribbeck3 = 110 Frassinetti)
2022
El fragmento atelánico en cuestión, cuyo contexto es la representación escénica de la addictio de un deudor insolvente a su acreedor conforme a la legis actio per manus iniectionem, es analizado en relación con otras fuentes de significación jurídica que atestiguan la supervivencia de este procedimiento de ejecución personal en el s. I a. C., así como con otros pasajes de la comedia latina ¿pertenecientes al propio Novio y a Plauto¿ en los que dicha situación jurídica es utilizada como recurso cómico. La frase nihil addo es intencionadamente ambigua porque puede entenderse como «no digo nada más» pero también como «no pago una suma mayor», bien porque el personaje que la pronuncia haya supu…
Venezolanos y aporofobia: oportunidad ética para el periodismo
2022
Adela Cortina introdujo en la palestra pública el término aporofobia para ofrecer otra perspectiva en la discusión sobre la lucha contra la pobreza y la desigualdad. Con este texto nos proponemos aplicar la tesis de la filósofa en el periodismo y cuyo hilo conductor será el éxodo de los venezolanos. Apelando a la hermenéutica crítica como método filosófico, entendemos el periodismo como profesión capaz de transformar la realidad social. Para que el periodismo cobre legitimidad social y no sea percibido como un mero negocio o competencia de métricas, urge comprender el oficio informativo no desde lo funcional comunicativo, sino desde el compromiso con la dignidad humana, como sustento para g…
Role of laparoscopic hysterectomy in cervical and endometrial cancer: a narrative review
2022
Endometrial cancer is the most common carcinoma of the female genital organs and cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. The aim of this review is to evaluate the role of laparoscopic hysterectomy in patients with endometrial and cervical cancer in this period, and analyze the outcome of hysterectomy in terms of survival. Moreover, we present the historical background, new techniques, the anatomical features, and surgical steps of radical hysterectomy. According to new evidence, minimally invasive surgery in patients with cervical cancer is associated with higher rates of recurrence and mortality compared to the open approach. Despite the numerous explanatio…
Comparing deep‐end confinement in England & Wales and Norway
2022
Extreme forms of custody represent the boundary points of state power. The configuration of the most restrictive corners of prison systems, and what goes on within them, is highly instructive in exposing the objectives, limits, and implications of state coercion at its most severe. Based on data collected in England & Wales and Norway, this article has two main aims. The first is to explore the degree to which “deep-end” confinement differs between jurisdictions with different penal philosophies. The second is to understand how the most extreme form of confinement in each jurisdiction differs from the more typical carceral experiences within each system and its overall penal ethos. Empirica…
Clinical outcomes with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab or lenvatinib in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: a multicenter real-world study
2022
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare response rates of lenvatinib and atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, in first-line real-world setting.

La Formation et la Reproduction des capacités humaines dans la pensée de Romano Alquati
2022
L’article traite de l’importance assumée par la question de la formation (de la reproduction à la capacité active vivante), dans la dernière période de Romano Alquati. On aborde également le problème de l’appauvrissement de la subjectivité qui, selon l’auteur, serait provoquée par la numérisation des processus d’éducation. The essays deals with the centrality increasingly assumend by the thems of training (the reproduction of active living working capacity) in the last Alquati, as well as the impoverishment of subjectivities that, according to this author, would occur with the digitation of many educational processes.
The association of physical multimorbidity with suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in England: A mediation analysis of influential factors
2022
Background: Suicide is one of the most important causes of deaths in the United Kingdom, and the numbers are currently increasing. Aim: There are numerous identified determinants of suicidality, and physical multimorbidity is potentially important but is currently understudied. Thus, this study aims to investigate the association of physical multimorbidity with suicidality. Methods: Cross-sectional data from the Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey 2007, which was conducted in England between October 2006 and December 2007 by the National Center for Social Research and Leicester University were analyzed. Respondents were asked about 20 physical health conditions, and suicidal ideation and sui…
Stereotactic Radiotherapy in Early-Stage Breast Cancer in Neoadjuvant and Exclusive Settings: A Systematic Review
2022

The aim of this study was to describe the feasibility and validity of stereotactic RT (SBRT) in BC in a neoadjuvant and exclusive setting. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A PubMed/MEDLINE and Embase systematic review was conducted to assess the role of radiomics in BC. The search strategy was “breast [All Fields] AND “stereotactic” [Al…
An Ensemble Model for Consumer Emotion Prediction Using EEG Signals for Neuromarketing Applications.
2022
Traditional advertising techniques seek to govern the consumer’s opinion toward a product, which may not reflect their actual behavior at the time of purchase. It is probable that advertisers misjudge consumer behavior because predicted opinions do not always correspond to consumers’ actual purchase behaviors. Neuromarketing is the new paradigm of understanding customer buyer behavior and decision making, as well as the prediction of their gestures for product utilization through an unconscious process. Existing methods do not focus on effective preprocessing and classification techniques of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, so in this study, an effective method for preprocessing and clas…
The impact of ideological positions and personal attributes of candidates in intraparty competition: A study under the Swiss open‐listPRSystem
2022
Intraparty preference voting systems offer different incentives for candidates to cultivate a personal vote, but little is known about how the candidates' policy positions affect their elec-toral success in intraparty competition. This article analyses the effect of candidates' ideological positions and personal attributes on their preference vote share in the 2015 and 2019 Swiss Lower House elections. We used candidate survey data combined with official election statistics. Our findings demon-strate that the ideological distance between candidates' posi-tions and their party's median position is of minor importance for their electoral success when compared to their personal attributes. How…
Consequential life cycle assessment of the Italian power system
2022
Energy production and consumption contribute to 76% of the European greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2018, and 90% of global GHG emissions with land use, land use change and forestation (LULUCF) in the same year. By applying energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy (RE) technologies, the GHG emission intensity of the energy sector reduced by 1.3% in 2018 compared to the previous year. The current climate change policy aims at decarbonization, sustainable environment, economic prosperity and social equity. It requires the deep decarbonisation of the economies, meaning that the energy and power systems as well as other emission intensive sectors need to transform into zero-emission ones. …

Characterization of Intertidal Macrofaunal Communities of Two Sandy Beaches under Different Anthropogenic Pressures
2022
The macrofauna in the intertidal zone of sandy beaches provides the trophic connectivity between land and sea, by linking microbiome, meiofauna, and megafauna, representing a food source for several terrestrial animals, including shorebirds and mammals. However, the macrozoobenthos in urbanised beaches is subjected to intense disturbances, such as breakwater barriers and tourism, which limit or impede the energy transfer from the marine to the terrestrial habitats. Because the information about diversity and abundance of the macrozoobenthos of the intertidal zone on the Mediterranean sandy coasts is scant, the main objective of this study is to increase the knowledge on the macrofauna livin…
Doing Respectable Heteromasculinities in Boys and Young Men’s Interview Talk on Sexual Encounters
2022
Recent studies on boys and young men’s heterosexual practices point in contradictory directions. On the one hand, boys and young men seem to be placing less value on “hard”, overtly aggressive masculinity and compulsive heterosexuality, in keeping with their adoption of more egalitarian attitudes in their sexual relationships. On the other hand, the hegemonic masculine notions that associate “real” men with sexual prowess persist as well. In this article, we argue that this contradiction indicates careful (re)calibration in doing respectable heteromasculinities. We draw on a small-scale qualitative study located in Helsinki, Finland, in illuminating how cis-gendered boys and young men with…

In this work, the author proposes the implementation of a hydrogen-fueled engine in a hybrid vehicle; the investigated hybrid powertrain is the power-s…
Psychotherapists’ views on triggering factors for psychological disorders
2022
AbstractTriggering factors play an important role in the development of psychological disorders. Practicing psychotherapists have valuable knowledge on psychological disorders and since their views on triggering factors have not been reported in the literature, triggers were addressed in this study from psychotherapists’ perspectives. The following three main issues were examined: definitions of triggers, examples of the most recurrent triggers and the idea of a common trigger for psychological disorders. Sixteen psychotherapists agreed to participate in the study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in person and the data collected were analyzed using frame analysis. Frame analysis a…

“Relative priority rule” e diritti dei soci nel concordato preventivo in continuità
2022
La codificazione di nuove regole di possibile distribuzione del valore ritraibile dall’impresa in crisi oggetto di ristrutturazione fra i creditori – e non solo fra questi, venendo ora in gioco anche una nuova disciplina delle possibili attribuzioni ai soci – è una delle più rilevanti innovazioni introdotte con l’entrata in vigore del Codice della crisi di impresa e di insolvenza, come novellato dal d.gs. 17 giugno 2022, n. 83, in attuazione della Direttiva (UE) 2019/1023. Il lavoro ripercorre la genesi e lo sviluppo di tali regole nell’orizzonte statunitense e poi in quello europeo, per poi tornare alla recente disciplina italiana in esame, con particolare attenzione al trattamento dei soc…
Possible synergic action of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and glucosamine sulfate for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis: a scoping review
2022
Abstract Background Several studies have reported that glucosamine sulfate (GS) can improve knee osteoarthritis (OA) symptomatology. In parallel, the disease-modifying effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in knee OA have also been investigated. However, limited literature has reported the combined effect of GS and NSAIDs. The aim of this scoping review is to describe the scope and volume of the literature investigating the potential benefits and synergistic effect of a combination of GS and NSAIDs in patients with knee OA. Methods PubMed and Embase were searched for studies published from inception through April 2022, evaluating the effects of the combination of GS and …
Simple soil water balance model (R function)
2022
This R function models the soil water balance (SWB) for two soil layers based on relatively simple assumptions. It is a simple method to calculate actual evapotranspiration, downward water flux (leaching), and upward water flux (or capillary rise) from two soil layers and the net flux between the two soil layers. The necessary input data comprises the change in soil water storage between two time steps per soil layer (e.g. from repeated volumetric soil water content measurements), potential evapotranspiration, precipitation, and the percentage of roots in the top soil layer. The soil water balance model is described in detail in Leimer et al. (2014). It is based on a soil water balance mode…
Exploring Lightweight Deep Learning Solution for Malware Detection in IoT Constraint Environment
2022
The present era is facing the industrial revolution. Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication paradigm is becoming prevalent. Resultantly, the computational capabilities are being embedded in everyday objects called things. When connected to the internet, these things create an Internet of Things (IoT). However, the things are resource-constrained devices that have limited computational power. The connectivity of the things with the internet raises the challenges of the security. The user sensitive information processed by the things is also susceptible to the trusability issues. Therefore, the proliferation of cybersecurity risks and malware threat increases the need for enhanced security in…
What is a language error?
2022
Why are we so afraid of making mistakes? Students in language classes, speakers of non-standard varieties, professionals working abroad – we all share the anxiety of dropping the ball. But where does this anxiety come from? Why do we perceive certain linguistic features as errors in the first place? Is there any inherent faultiness in such features, or is a language error arbitrary? And if it is arbitrary, are errors less real? In this discussion, Maria Khachaturyan, Maria Kuteeva and Svetlana Vetchinnikova zoom in on the social life of variation in language and its uneasy relationship with our normative ideas. After that, Gunnar Norrman and Dmitri Leontjev give their comments. The discussi…
Modeling the influence of DNA lesion on the regulation of gene expression
2022
Nucleic acids are organic macromolecules that result from the polymerization of nucleotides. These molecules are generally considered as the support of the genetic information. Two families of nucleic acids are currently known: DNA and RNA. From a structural point of view, the most popular form is the double helix of DNA. However, other forms exist and among them are the G-quadruplex. This is a folding of the DNA, or RNA, in an area rich in guanines. These form quadruplex of guanines, which are stacked on top of each other and are stabilized by a central cation. G-quadruplex structures are increasingly studied. This is not surprising since their biological role involves the regulation of ge…

Hepatic incidentaloma: An asymptomatic ectopic thyroid tissue
2022
An ectopic thyroid is a form of thyroid dysgenesis in which the entire thyroid gland or parts of it may be located in another part of the body than the usual place. The most frequent location is the base of the tongue. Although most cases are asymptomatic, symptoms related to tumor size and its relationship with surrounding tissues, hormonal dysfunction, and seldom malignancy may also occur. Here, we describe the case of an asymptomatic woman who was thyroidectomized 19 years previously for a toxic goiter and treated with conventional L-thyroxine therapy, until we enacted a progressive reduction of dosage of the replacement therapy. Incidentally, because of occasional abdomen discomfort, sh…
Vanhemmuuden uupumus oli riski lasten hyvinvoinnille ja lasten oikeuksien toteutumiselle korona-aikana
2022
Vanhemmuuden uupumus on lisääntynyt ja vanhempien väliset hyvinvointierot polarisoituneet koronakriisin aikana. Erityinen huoli kohdistuu heikommassa asemassa oleviin perheisiin ja lapsiin, joilla riskitekijät ovat voineet kasautua ja haasteet kärjistyä. Kotona opiskelu on heikentänyt merkittävästi opettajien ja muun kouluhenkilökunnan mahdollisuuksia turvata kaikille oppilaille yhdenvertainen oikeus opetukseen. Etäopiskelu rajoittaa oppilaan sivistyksellisiä oikeuksia ja voi heikentää myös lapsen muiden oikeuksien toteutumista vaikuttamalla perheiden jaksamiseen. Rajoitusten suhteellisuusvaatimusta arvioitaessa tulisi huomioida rajoitusten moninaiset vaikutukset lasten ja perheiden koko…
Carbon Nitride-Based Catalysts for High Pressure CO2 Photoreduction
2022
In the current research, the productivity of CO2 photoreduction has been boosted by performing the reaction in an innovative photocatalytic reactor, which allows for operation up to 20 bar. A set of photocatalysts were used, including three types of pristine TiO2, i.e., one commercially prepared (Evonik P25), one home-prepared by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP), and one obtained by the hydrolysis of TiCl4 (TiO2exCl), a bare thermo-exfoliated carbon nitride (C3N4-TE), and binary materials composed of TiO2 and C3N4-TE. The photoreduction was carried out in water at pH 14 and in the presence of Na2SO3 as a hole scavenger. Hydrogen and very small amounts of CO were detected in the head space of the…

Intracellular osteopontin protects from autoimmunity-driven lymphoma development inhibiting TLR9-MYD88-STAT3 signaling
2022
Abstract Background Autoimmune disorders, including Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), are associated with increased incidence of hematological malignancies. The matricellular protein osteopontin (OPN) has been linked to SLE pathogenesis, as SLE patients show increased serum levels of OPN and often polymorphisms in its gene. Although widely studied for its pro-tumorigenic role in different solid tumours, the role of OPN in autoimmunity-driven lymphomagenesis has not been investigated yet. Methods To test the role of OPN in the SLE-associated lymphomagenesis, the SLE-like prone Faslpr/lpr mutation was transferred onto an OPN-deficient background. Spleen from Faslpr/lpr and OPN-/-Faslpr/lpr …

Deep Reinforcement Learning with Omnidirectional Images: application to UAV Navigation in Forests
2022
Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is highly efficient for solving complex tasks such as drone obstacle avoidance using cameras. However, these methods are often limited by the camera perception capabilities. In this paper, we demonstrate that point-goal navigation performances can be improved by using cameras with a wider Field-Of-View (FOV). To this end, we present a DRL solution based on equirectangular images and demonstrates its relevance, especially compared to its perspective version. Several visual modalities are compared: ground truth depth, RGB, and depth directly estimated from these 360°R GB images using Deep Learning methods. Next, we propose a spherical adaptation to take into …
