A walk on sunset boulevard
2016
A walk on sunset boulevard can teach us about transcendental functions associated to Feynman diagrams. On this guided tour we will see multiple polylogarithms, differential equations and elliptic curves. A highlight of the tour will be the generalisation of the polylogarithms to the elliptic setting and the all-order solution for the sunset integral in the equal mass case.

Leveraging and Deleveraging: Pluses and Minuses
2013
Abstract As in physics, leverage is an amplifier. In business, the leverage is amplifying the losses or the gains. In good times, leverage is good, it is busting the gains, it supports economic growth. Companies and governments are using leverage at large scale. In bad times, it is busting the losses. Companies and governments will have to deleverage. This paper aims to present in brief the concepts of leveraging and deleveraging, to explain why companies, banks and governments are using the leverage, and what are the consequences of using it? The high degree of leverage is one cause of a financial crisis and therefore deleveraging is usually following a financial crisis. We will address th…
Piedziņas vēršana uz darba samaksu, tai pielīdzinātajiem maksājumiem un citām naudas summām
2015
Darbā tiek atspoguļots šobrīd spēkā esošs normatīvs regulējums un kārtība piedziņas vēršanai uz parādnieka darba samaksu, tai pielīdzinātajiem maksājumiem, kā arī citām naudas summām, kas parādniekam pienākas no citam personām vai atrodas kredītiestādē . Darba mērķis ir norādīt uz praksē pastāvošiem un iespējamiem problēmjautājumiem vēršot piedziņu uz parādnieka darba samaksu, tai pielīdzinātajiem maksājumiem, kā arī citām naudas summām, kas parādniekam pienākas no citam personām vai atrodas kredītiestādē, un izteikt priekšlikumus problēmjautājumu atrisināšanai. Darba rezultātā autors secina, ka normatīvo aktu regulējums ir nepietiekams un to būtu lietderīgi papildināt ar vairākām jaunām ti…
Early distal remodeling after elephant trunk repair of thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms
2016
Hemodynamic alterations occur when the elephant trunk (ET) technique is adopted to treat extensive aortic aneurysms. In planning the 2nd stage operation to complete ET repair, surgeons must weigh an adequate recovery time after initial surgery against the risk of postoperative ET-related complications. The purpose of this study was to understand the mechanistic link between the flow alteration caused by the ET graft and the development of premature aortic rupture before the 2nd stage operation. Specifically, fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis was performed using the CT imaging data of aorta at different stages of ET repair, and then computational variables were compared to those obs…

Öljyvärimaalausten varkaudet taidemarkkinoiden barometrina
2011
Taidemarkkinoilla on havaittu, että taiteilijan arvostuksen lisääntyessä, kyseisen taiteilijan väärennösten määrä lisääntyy. Pro gradu – tutkielmassa selvitetään, voiko öljyvärimaalausvarkauksien perusteella tehdä samanlaista johtopäätöstä. Vaikuttaako taiteilijan arvostuksen lisääntyminen taidemarkkinoilla varastettujen teosten määrään? Ongelmaan on vastattu poikkitieteellisestä näkökulmasta. Käytetyt tutkimusmenetelmät ovat tilastotiede, haastattelututkimus, historiantutkimus ja hermeneuttinen tutkimus. Tilastotieteen metodologiaa hyväksikäyttäen INTERPOL:n arkistossa olevat 2000-luvulla varastetut öljyvärimaalaukset on tilastoitu. Tutkimuskirjallisuuteen on sovellettu historiantutkimukse…
EVAR IN OUT CLINIC PATIENTS: IS IT FEASIBLE AND SAFE?
2013
Introduction Only little is known about endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) performed as an outpatient procedure. We report here a two-center (Middelares Hospital, Antwerp (Deurne), Belgium and University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland) experience in 104 EVAR patients of which a group of 52 patients have been treated on an outpatient (out-EVAR) basis and compared to a matched group of 52 patients that have been treated as inpatients (in-EVAR). Methods Selection criterions for out-EVAR were: informed consent, travel time to the hospital if readmission was required of <30-60 minutes, and technically uncomplicated EVAR. Most out-EVAR has been treated percutaneous. In-EVAR patients consisted in a…
Dove finisce il mondo
2015
Dove finisce il mondo offers the first Italian translation of two cpmparatively recent stories by Bernardine Evaristo, the unpublished On Top of the World (2006) and I'm Think I'm Going Slightly Mad (I think I'm slightly crazy, 2011) and, in the appendix, the translation of her theoretical essay CSI Europe (2008), which refers to the thematic issues that affect the writer's stories and pervade her entire narrative production. The stories, in investigating contemporary forms of female distress, outline the extreme journeys of the protagonists in search of an identity free from gender and ethnic-racial conditioning: one in the Arctic lands whose whiteness becomes the scene of a potential suic…
