Introduction: Learning, Philosophy and African Citizenship
2022
AbstractIn this chapter, we offer a background to the edited volume, the research project that produced it and its content—a series of investigations of the contested notions of citizenship and learning, and their interconnections. We set the agenda for exploring citizenship and learning as defined in philosophical traditions, and as experienced and described in selected locations in Tanzania and Uganda, and also introduce the contributions from the perspectives of both citizenship and conceptualizing learning.

Oral manifestations in SARS-CoV-2 infection
2022
We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of predisposing factors and oral manifestations in SARS-CoV-2 infection. 204 SARS-CoV-2 positive patients were included in the study. Questions regarding the systemic, periodontal health, oral hygiene habits, common symptoms and, oral manifestations of COVID-19 such as oral lesions, and dry mouth were included in the survey. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used. 47.5% of individuals had various systemic diseases. Dry mouth (44.2%) and oral lesions (22.4%) were the most common oral manifestations in COVID-19 patients. Also, dry mouth had the highest VAS score. The most common oral lesion locations were buccal mucosa (15.2%) and tongue (10.8%). The majo…
Theory of Heterogeneous Circuits With Stochastic Memristive Devices
2022
We introduce an approach based on the Chapman-Kolmogorov equation to model heterogeneous stochastic circuits, namely, the circuits combining binary or multi-state stochastic memristive devices and continuum reactive components (capacitors and/or inductors). Such circuits are described in terms of occupation probabilities of memristive states that are functions of reactive variables. As an illustrative example, the series circuit of a binary memristor and capacitor is considered in detail. Some analytical solutions are found. Our work offers a novel analytical/numerical tool for modeling complex stochastic networks, which may find a broad range of applications.
Solitude and Sensibility: Female Identities in the Spanish Enlightenment
2022
Introduction What did solitude mean to the men and women of the eighteenth century? To newly enlightened minds, the idea that anyone might withdraw from his or her fellows, whether physically or mentally, was anything but desirable. Nor could voluntary isolation any more be construed as a sign of nearness to God. Individuals were expected to spend their time neither searching for heaven on earth nor preparing their souls for the afterlife, but working towards the common good in the here and now. Personal interests and desires were seen as secondary to the needs of society and therefore great importance was attributed to the exchange of ideas, dialogue, cooperation, philanthropic urges and a…

The look, an epigrammatic and anthological vector in the Selecta epigrammata graeca latine versa of Janus Cornarius
2022
In 1529, a German physician, Janus Cornarius, published an anthology of epigrams entitled Selecta epigrammata graeca latine versa. A polymathic scholar, a committed philologist and an independent humanist, the author offers a compilation of Greek epigrams translated into Latin, drawing on several hypotexts.The theme of the gazing, present in many epigrams, allows to highlight the main characteristics of the epigrammatic genre as well as of the anthological form and reveals itself as a precious asset of the festivitas as much as of the transmission of the eruditio. Three types of viewpoints are constantly present in the work : the characters’ one as well the reader’s and the author’s. This d…

A Line Impedance Calculator Based on a G3 PLC Modem Platform
2022
Power line communication (PLC) is one of the most today used technologies for both automatic meter reading and many other smart grid applications. In this framework, a characterization of the electrical network in the PLC frequency range is needed in terms of impedance measurement and received signal level. This can allow choosing the most suitable and less noisy frequency ranges for PLC transmission. Usually, these characterization measurements are performed with dedicated instrumentation and in the absence of mains voltage. This article wants to propose an alternative solution, which allows these kinds of measurements to be performed using electronic boards currently used as on-field appl…

What factors relate to three profiles of perception of motor competence in young children?
2022
The study aims were to 1) examine profiles of perception of motor competence (PMC) in relation to actual motor competence (AMC), i.e. under-estimators (UEs), realistic estimators (REs) and over-estimators (OEs) and 2) investigate associations between the profiles and selected socioecological factors at the individual, family and environmental levels. PMC (Pictorial Scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence) and AMC (Test of Gross Motor Development-Third Edition) were administered to a representative sample of children from 37 childcare centres in Finland (n=441;6.2±0.6yrs;52% boys). Socioecological factors were investigated using a parental questionnaire. The three profiles were formed b…

2022
La Cassazione pone fine al caso Vos Thalassa. Secondo i giudici di legittimità, è configurabile la causa di giustificazione della legittima difesa in favore di soggetti migranti i quali, dopo essere stati salvati in alto mare da una nave privata italiana, accortisi che l'imbarcazione si dirige verso un paese (la Libia) in cui gli stessi corrono il concreto pericolo di essere sottoposti a trattamenti disumani o degradanti, realizzino condotte di resistenza contro il comandante e alcuni ufficiali dell'imbarcazione, al fine di impedire la loro consegna alle autorità di quel paese. Nelle complesse relazioni fra diritto interno, norme convenzionali, diritto internazionale del mare, diritto dei r…
Au vignoble, l’âge des ceps (8, 33 et 107 ans) modifie-t-il les communautés de champignons mycorhiziens à arbuscules ?
2022
Les champignons mycorhiziens à arbuscules (CMA) sont des organismes clés des agro-écosystèmes. Ils fournissent de nombreux services écosystémiques au sol (stabilité, rétention de l’eau, …) et aux plantes (amélioration de la nutrition hydrominérale, amélioration de la résistance à différents stress, ...). Les communautés de CMA sont principalement caractérisées dans le sol et encore peu directement au niveau racinaire. De plus, les études se focalisent généralement sur un seul prélèvement racinaire au cours du cycle de développement d’une plante, qu’elle soit annuelle ou pérenne. La dynamique des communautés de CMA est encore moins étudiée, que ce soit à court ou à long terme. De nombreux fa…
Cosmological constraints on heavy sterile neutrinos
2022
We consider heavy sterile neutrinos $\nu_s$, with mass in the range 10 MeV $\lesssim m_s \lesssim m_{\pi} \sim 135$ MeV, thermally produced in the early universe and freezing out after the QCD phase transition. The existence of these neutrinos may alter the value of the effective number of neutrino species $N_{\rm eff}$, measured by the cosmic microwave background (CMB), and the ${}^4$He production during the BBN. We provide a detailed account of the solution of the relevant Boltzmann equations and we identify the parameter space constrained by current Planck satellite data and forecast the parameter space probed by future Stage-4 ground-based CMB (CMB-S4) observations.
Tracking ligand-binding effect on protein stability by CD spectroscopy
2022
The influence of protein-ligand interactions on protein stability is usually assessed by measurements in the liquid phase. CD spectroscopy appears to be a tool of choice to i) measure the conformation of the protein in different phases and to ii) follow the conformational changes of the protein upon binding.We therefore studied the stability of the rat odorant binding protein 3 (OBP3), its ability to remain functional and a preliminary test of its ligand binding specificity in the dry state. Solid-state spectra were performed on dry thin films prepared by drop casting of initial buffered aqueous solutions of the rat OBP3 onto optically transparent CaF2 windows and subsequently dried under l…
Importance du sulfate vacuolaire pour l’établissement du rendement et de la qualité des graines de pois
2022
Les graines de pois constituent un aliment sain et nourrissant, notamment de par leur forte teneur en protéines (environ 25%). La qualité nutritionnelle de ces protéines est néanmoins limitée par leur faible proportion en acides aminés soufrés (AAS) : cystéine et méthionine. L’objectif était d’étudier la contribution du stock de sulfate contenu dans les vacuoles à l’élaboration du rendement et de la qualité des graines, notamment la synthèse des AAS. Nous avons ciblé l’unique gène SULTR4 de pois qui code un transporteur permettant l’efflux de sulfate de la vacuole vers le cytosol. Après avoir confirmé sa localisation à la membrane vacuolaire, nous avons recherché des mutants de pois pour ce…

Universities’ “Third” Mission, Industrial Conversion and the Quest for Surgical Masks: A Sicilian Tale from the First COVID-19 Lockdown
2022
This contribution is a brief testimony of a “third mission” project conducted in collaboration by two university departments that, despite the operational difficulties, and thanks to institutional support, have promoted an initiative aimed at the productive reconversion of a clothing sector company into a health sector company. The project highlights the benefits of integrating different areas of scientific expertise and highlights the role of full involvement and co-creation of a new production unit. Moreover, it is an example of the role that the university can play in a complex operational context in support of a constructive relationship between public and private actors for the develop…
How do university systems' features affect academic inbreeding?: Career rules and language requirements in France, Germany, Italy and Spain
2022
Studies on academic inbreeding have mostly focused on institutional inbreeding and its negative effects, whereas little research has explored its causes. We identify current explanations of the macro‐, meso‐ and micro‐level factors that sustain academic inbreeding as well as research gaps. We address a main research gap regarding what macro‐level factors contribute to academic inbreeding, by analysing systems’ norms and rules regulating access to senior academic positions and teaching language requirements in France, Germany, Italy and Spain, the largest public university systems of the European Union. The analysis reveals that career rules designed to guarantee quality may have unintended …

En monumental debatt
2022
Abstract There was a widespread debate thoughout the western world that treated public monuments and Norway was among one of those contries. The three most debated cases in this debate was tied to the monuments representing Winston Churchill, Ludvig Holberg and Carl von Linné. All three had different accusations: Churchill was accused of being racist and being a personification over the british colonialism and imperialism, Holberg was primarily accused of having economic interests in the Danish-Norwegian slave trade and Linné was seen as a founder of modern racism on the basis of his work in human systematics with hierarchical undertones. The main aim of this thesis is to show how arguments…

Halosen taiteilijasuvun talonpoikainen suurperhe on tuttu Suomen taidehistoriasta. Sukutila ja talollisen asema eivät kuitenkaan olleet heille itsestään selvä vuosisatainen jatkumo. Myös suurperhe oli enemmän ajoittainen välivaihe tilanomistajuudessa kuin pysyvä sukurakkauden ilmentymä. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan Halosen sukutilan omistajanvaihdoksia perheyhteisön taitekohtina. peerReviewed
Measurement Invariance of the Scale of Positive and Negative Experience Across 13 Countries
2022
The Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE) is widely used to measure emotional experiences, but not much is known about its cross-cultural utility. The present study evaluated the measurement invariance of the SPANE across adult samples (N = 12,635; age range = 18-85 years; 58.2% female) from 13 countries (China, Colombia, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, Japan, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Spain, Turkey, and the United States). Configural and partial scalar invariance of the SPANE were supported. Three items capturing specific negative emotions (sad, afraid, and angry) were found to be culturally noninvariant. Our findings suggest that the SPANE's positive emotion terms and general n…
Estudio y diagnóstico de nuevas virosis emergentes en vid (Vitis vinifera L.)
2022
La vid (Vitis vinifera L.) es una de las especies vegetales más susceptibles de padecer infecciones virales. En Europa y España, solo cinco especies virales (GFLV, ArMV, GLRaV-1, GLRaV-3 y GFkV), de las treinta y una patógenas de la vid, se encuentran bajo restricción legislativa. Algunos de estos son virus emergentes no contemplados en la legislación, siendo GPGV, GAMaV, GRLDaV, GVE, GVF, GVT, GRBV y GVCV las principales especies de virus emergentes que pueden constituir una amenaza para los cultivos españoles. Por tanto, el objetivo general de la presente tesis es conocer la situación de las principales virosis emergentes de vid en España y desarrollar herramientas de diagnóstico que pued…
