The cross-cultural transition experience. Phenomenological analysis on a group of international students
2010
Summary This study is focused on exploration of experience of cultural transition that has lived a group of international students (European and not European) host at an Italian University during particular experiential segment marking the transition from their culture of belonging to the new social and cultural context. From an epistemological point of view that aligns with the phenomenological tradition with individual and group interviews, it was monitored with a longitudinal methodology as the representation of the transit cross-cultural adaptation to the context it emerged from the interviews are associated through the dominant narrative themes. The results show how in the early stage …
High-energy resummation effects in the production of Mueller-Navelet dijet at the LHC
2016
We study the production of two forward jets with a large interval of rapidity at hadron colliders, which was proposed by Mueller and Navelet as a possible test of the high energy dynamics of QCD, within a complete next-to-leading logarithm framework. We show that using the Brodsky-Lepage-Mackenzie procedure to fix the renormalization scale leads to a very good description of the recent CMS data at the LHC for the azimuthal correlations of the jets. We show that the inclusion of next-to-leading order corrections to the jet vertex significantly reduces the importance of energy-momentum non-conservation which is inherent to the BFKL approach, for an asymmetric jet configuration. Finally, we ar…
Uncertainties on the determination of the strong coupling αs from the energy evolution of jet fragmentation functions at low z
2014
The QCD coupling alpha_s is determined at NLO*+NMLLA accuracy from the comparison of experimental jet data to theoretical predictions of the energy-evolution of the parton-to-hadron fragmentation function moments (multiplicity, peak, width, skewness) at low fractional hadron momentum z. From the existing e+e- and e-p jet data, we obtain alpha_s(m_Z^2) = 0.1195 +/- 0.0021 (exp.) {+0.0015}_{-0.0} (scale) at the Z mass. The uncertainties of the extracted alpha_s value are discussed.
Collimation of energy in medium-modified QCD jets
2012
The collimation of energy inside medium-modified jets is investigated in the leading logarithmic approximation of QCD. The Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi (DGLAP) evolution equations are slightly modified by introducing splitting functions enhanced in the infrared sector. As compared to elementary collisions in the vacuum, the angular distribution of the jet energy is found to broaden in QCD media.
El concepto de motivación en la fenomenología hermenéutica del joven Heidegger
2018
El presente artículo elucida el papel metodológico que juega el término «motivación» en la transformación hermenéutica de la fenomenología llevada a cabo por el joven Heidegger. A tal efecto, comenzaré con el análisis del concepto de motivación en la fenomenología de Husserl para apreciar después su inflexión hermenéutica en la filosofía de Heidegger. En un segundo momento, prestaré una especial atención a la importancia que tiene la motivación en el surgimiento de las nociones metodológicas más importantes de la fenomenología hermenéutica, como son la «destrucción», la «indicación formal» y la «preconcepción». Todo ello me conducirá, finalmente, a reformular el problema fenomenológico sobr…
Spectral function for overoccupied gluodynamics from classical lattice simulations
2019
We study the spectral properties of an overoccupied gluonic system far from equilibrium. Using classical Yang-Mills simulations and linear response theory, we determine the statistical and spectral functions. We measure dispersion relations and damping rates of transversally and longitudinally polarized excitations in the gluonic plasma, and also study further structures in the spectral function.
lhc phenomenology and neutrino physics in gut inspired susy models
2014
En la primera parte de la tesis investigamos un modelo supersimetrico con un mecanismo seesaw para explicar las masas de los neutrinos. Implementamos el modelo en SPheno que nos permitió calcular observables de LHC (Large Hardron Collider) como por ejemplo los ``Edge observables''. Con la ayuda de estos observables pudimos reconstruir el espectro de masa de una teoría como SUSY y compararlo con los resultados de los experimentos. Como no hemos observado SUSY en ningún experimento calculamos para diferentes parámetros de SUSY el espectro usando errores esperados para nuestra análisis. Para poder decidir si un modelo resulta verdadero necesitamos un valor independiente que nos permita cuantif…
The charm-quark contribution to light-by-light scattering in the muon (−2) from lattice QCD
2022
We compute the hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution to the muon $g-2$ from the charm quark using lattice QCD. The calculation is performed on ensembles generated with dynamical $(u,d,s)$ quarks at the SU(3)$_{\rm f}$ symmetric point with degenerate pion and kaon masses of around 415 MeV. It includes the connected charm contribution, as well as the leading disconnected Wick contraction, involving the correlation between a charm and a light-quark loop. Cutoff effects turn out to be sizeable, which leads us to use lighter-than-physical charm masses, to employ a broad range of lattice spacings reaching down to 0.039 fm and to perform a combined charm-mass and continuum extrapolation.…
Toward a Mature Science of Consciousness
2018
In \textit{Being No One}, Thomas \citet{Metzinger2003being} introduces an approach to the scientific study of consciousness that draws on theories and results from different disciplines, targeted at multiple levels of analysis. Descriptions and assumptions formulated at, for instance, the phenomenological, representationalist, and neurobiological levels of analysis provide different perspectives on the same phenomenon, which can ultimately yield necessary and sufficient conditions for applying the concept of phenomenal representation. In this way, the ``method of interdisciplinary constraint satisfaction (MICS)'' (as it has been called by Josh Weisberg, \citeyear{Weisberg2005consciousness})…
Exploring nursing competence to care for older patients in municipal in‐patient acute care: A qualitative study
2019
Aim To identify critical aspects of nursing competence to care for older patients in the context of municipal in-patient acute care. Background An increasingly complex and advanced primary healthcare system requires attention to the extent of nursing competence in municipal services. However, competence in complex and advanced care settings must be explored using perspectives which acknowledge the complexity of nurses' performance. Design A phenomenological hermeneutic, qualitative approach with individual in-depth interviews was used. COREQ reporting guidelines have been applied. Methods A sample of eight nurses and two physicians employed in municipal in-patient acute care units (MAUs) we…
