Diagnostic Criteria for Parkinson's Disease: From James Parkinson to the Concept of Prodromal Disease.

2018

The diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is based on clinical features and differently to the common opinion that detecting this condition is easy, seminal clinico-pathological studies have shown that up one-fourth of patients diagnosed as PD during life has an alternative diagnosis at post-mortem. The misdiagnosis is even higher when only the initial diagnosis is considered, since the diagnostic accuracy improves by time, during follow-up visits. Given that the confirmation of the diagnosis of PD can be only obtained through neuropathology, to improve and facilitate the diagnostic-therapeutic workup in PD, a number of criteria and guidelines have been introduced in the last three decades.…

Moraalisten ja esteettisten arvostelmien suhde taiteessa : katsaus kohtuullisiin teorioihin

2015

Tämä tutkielma käsittelee moraalisten ja esteettisten arvostelmien suhdetta taiteessa keskittyen kolmeen kohtuulliseksi teoriaksi katsottuun näkemykseen: Noël Carrollin kohtuulliseen moralismiin, Berys Gautin etikismiin sekä Andersonin ja Deanin kohtuulliseen autonomismiin. Tarkoitukseni on selvittää, millä tavalla kukin näistä teoreetikoista näkee taiteen moraalin ja estetiikan suhteen. Tutkimuskysymyksessäni haluan ottaa selvää, onko taiteessa sekä moraalisia että esteettisiä arvostelmia ja vaikuttavatko nämä toisiinsa. Ennen siirtymistä varsinaisiin kohtuullisiin teorioihin pohjustan aihetta selvittämällä, kuinka taiteen moraaliin ja estetiikkaan on suhtauduttu historian kuluessa ja mite…

Biskup Würzburga Johann Philipp von Schönborn we francuskojęzycznej korespondencji Charlesa II i Jamesa II Stuartów z lat 1652-1673

2021

Podpisany w 1648 r. pokój westfalski nie kończył zmagań wojennych w Europie Zachodniej. Do 1658 r. trwała wojna francusko-hiszpańska, a po drugiej stronie kanału La Manche Anglia targana była najpierw wojną domową, a potem, pod władzą Oliwera Cromwella, uwikłała się w konflikt z Holandią (1652–1654), który stanowił jedynie preludium do kolejnych wojen między tymi państwami. Kluczową rolę w dobie zmagań z Niderlandami odgrywała Rzesza Niemiecka, gdzie jedną z czołowych postaci był biskup Würzburga (arcybiskup Moguncji) Johann Philipp von Schönborn. W planach politycznych uwzględniali go dyplomaci francuscy i habsburscy. O zainteresowaniu Anglików jego osobą świadczą listy Charlesa II i James…

Blackwood's Magazine - "Nodier's Promenade"

2013

We have translated and annotated an extended review from "Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine" reporting on the publication, in English translation, of "Promenade de Dieppe aux montagnes d'Écosse" by Charles Nodier ("Promenade from Dieppe to the Mountains of Scotland", Edinburg, Blackwood, London, Cadell, 1822). The reference of the original article is as follows: "Nodier's Promenade", Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine", march 1822, vol. XI (January - June 1822).

Reading Kazuo Ishiguro’s “Bewilderment Trilogy” as Bildungsromane

2018

Abstract In this essay, Kazuo Ishiguro’s “Bewilderment Trilogy” is read as a series of Bildungsromane that test the limits of that genre. In these thematically unrelated novels, characters reach critical points in their lives when they are confronted with the ways in which their respective childhoods have shaped their grownup expectations and professional careers. In each, the protagonist has a successful career, whether as a musician (The Unconsoled), a detective (When We Were Orphans), or a carer (Never Let Me Go), but finds it difficult to overcome childhood trauma. Ishiguro’s treatment of childhood in these novels foregrounds the tension between individual subjectivity and the formal st…

Two Remarkably Luminous Galaxy Candidates at z ≈ 10-12 Revealed by JWST

2022

The first few 100 Myr at z > 10 mark the last major uncharted epoch in the history of the universe, where only a single galaxy (GN-z11 at z ≈ 11) is currently spectroscopically confirmed. Here we present a search for luminous z > 10 galaxies with JWST/NIRCam photometry spanning ≈1–5 μm and covering 49 arcmin2 from the public JWST Early Release Science programs (CEERS and GLASS). Our most secure candidates are two MUV ≈ −21 systems: GLASS-z12 and GLASS-z10. These galaxies display abrupt ≳1.8 mag breaks in their spectral energy distributions (SEDs), consistent with complete absorption of flux bluewards of Lyα that is redshifted to =+z12.40.3 0.1and=+z10.40.5 0.4. Lower redshift interlopers su…

Hiding in plain sight: observing planet-starspot crossings with the James Webb Space Telescope

2021

Transiting exoplanets orbiting active stars frequently occult starspots and faculae on the visible stellar disc. Such occultations are often rejected from spectrophotometric transits, as it is assumed they do not contain relevant information for the study of exoplanet atmopsheres. However, they can provide useful constraints to retrieve the temperature of active features and their effect on transmission spectra. We analyse the capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope in the determination of the spectra of occulted starspots, despite its lack of optical wavelength instruments on board. Focusing on K and M spectral types, we simulate starspots with different temperatures and in differen…

Weak versus strong dominance of shrinkage estimators

2021

We consider the estimation of the mean of a multivariate normal distribution with known variance. Most studies consider the risk of competing estimators, that is the trace of the mean squared error matrix. In contrast we consider the whole mean squared error matrix, in particular its eigenvalues. We prove that there are only two distinct eigenvalues and apply our findings to the James–Stein and the Thompson class of estimators. It turns out that the famous Stein paradox is no longer a paradox when we consider the whole mean squared error matrix rather than only its trace.
