Genetic variants linked to myopic macular degeneration in persons with high myopia: CREAM Consortium.
2019
Purpose: To evaluate the roles of known myopia-associated genetic variants for development of myopic macular degeneration (MMD) in individuals with high myopia (HM), using case-control studies from the Consortium of Refractive Error and Myopia (CREAM). Methods: A candidate gene approach tested 50 myopia-associated loci for association with HM and MMD, using meta-analyses of case-control studies comprising subjects of European and Asian ancestry aged 30 to 80 years from 10 studies. Fifty loci with the strongest associations with myopia were chosen from a previous published GWAS study. Highly myopic (spherical equivalent [SE] ≤ -5.0 diopters [D]) cases with MMD (N = 348), and two sets of cont…

Residential location and youth unemployment: The economic geography of school-to-work transitions
2003
In response to increased international policy attention to youth unemployment this study investigates post-secondary school transitions of school leavers. Multinomial logit models are estimated for male and female German youth. The models control for individual, parent, and household characteristics, for those of the youth’s region of residence and local labor markets. The findings suggest that immigrant youth has particularly low participation rates in continued education, and that youth unemployment is centered in high unemployment states and metropolitan areas. More generous academic benefit policies seem to be correlated with increased academic enrollment, and men’s transitions to the m…
Urbanisation and Urban Regionalisation Processes in the Metropolitan Area of Palermo
2021
This article provides empirical evidence that helps to answer several key questions relating to the regionalisation processes in Southern European cities. Several studies have documented the effects produced by the urban regionalisation process, especially in terms of territorial resource consumptions and the formation of new territorial patterns, overlooking the evaluation of public information that has been lost in terms of space and prerogatives of public action in the new post- metropolitan urban space. Starting from this theoretical framework, the interpretation of the post-metropolitan transition of Palermo through the filter of living in its dual dimension of being the outcome of soc…
Investigating the changes in extreme rainfall series recorded in an urbanised area
2002
The aim of this study is to investigate and quantify changes in the rainfall regime of the metropolitan area of Palermo characterised by increasingly strong urbanisation. The rainfall data, considered in this study, were collected on a yearly basis from eight rain gauges within and outside the metropolitan area of Palermo, Sicily, Italy. A preliminary analysis made on the annual total rainfall depths showed a global reduction of total annual rainfall, with two different trends: more regular for the series observed in the rain gauges within the urbanised area and more variable for the series observed in the rain gauges outside the area. A further analysis has been performed using the series …
Efeso, Ulpiano e il Senato. La contesa per il primato nella provincia Asia nel III sec. d.C.
2019
Nell'Asia Minore romana di epoca imperiale (I–III sec. d.C.) le antiche città greche continuavano a combattere aspramente tra loro per conquistare il primato provinciale: Efeso, Pergamo, Smirne, Sardi, Cizico, Laodicea e le altre poleis erano in competizione per ottenere titoli e privilegi dagli imperatori e dal Senato di Roma, in particolare la custodia di un tempio federale del culto imperiale e il rango di metropoli. L'analisi storica di un importante dossier epigrafico e numismatico di Efeso rivela come la città fosse riuscita, tra l'epoca dei Severi e di Diocleziano (c.a. 193–293), a consolidare la sua posizione grazie all'accorta diplomazia dei notabili cittadini e infine a detenere l…
Entes territoriales de escala comarcal en la Administración local española
2021
El mapa autonómico español creado a partir de 1978 se superpuso al esquema territorial que ya existía, formado por provincias y municipios, y así ha tenido que convivir con un mapa anterior obsoleto e ineficiente. La mayoría de los municipios son demasiado pequeños para proveerse de servicios, y esta insuficiencia en la prestación de los mismos no ayuda a frenar el despoblamiento rural. En algunas comunidades autónomas, se han intentado crear entes intermedios entre la provincia y el municipio ¿generalmente, comarcas¿ para tratar de corregir los desequilibrios territoriales. Solo algunas de estas comunidades han llevado finalmente a cabo un proceso de transferencia de competencias a estos n…
Kiborgs, kā filmai Metropolis raksturīgs elements japāņu filmu kultūrā
2015
Filma Metropolis ir viena no slavenākajām filmām pasaulē un ir priekšnācēja visām fantastikas žanra filmām. Šajā filmā tika attēloti koncepti par lietām, ko tā laika publika vēl nebija redzējusi – idejas par tik tehniski attīstītu sabiedrību, kur ir iespējama mākslīgās dzīvības radīšana. Roboti un neparasti cilvēku tēli – visām šīm lietām filma ir iedvesusi dzīvību. Darbā tiks pētīts aspekts, ko, manuprāt, filma Metropolis ir postulējusi – kiborgs, vai kā to sauc filmā: Der Maschinen-Mensch (mašīnas cilvēks). Šis aspekts tiks meklēts japāņu filmu kultūrā, konkrētāk – animē. Vēlāk šie filmas un animē elementi tiks salīdzināti un tiks meklētas kulturālās, vizuālās un kontekstuālās līdzības. I…
The entangled scalarities of football clubs in a competitive metropolitan space: investment, identity and international events
2021
Football clubs located within competitive metropolitan spaces and owned by local municipalities develop their socio-spatiality through strong multiscalarities. Drawing from the sociology of footbal...
Quantum Probes for the Characterization of Nonlinear Media
2021
Active optical media leading to interaction Hamiltonians of the form H=λ˜(a+a†)ζ represent a crucial resource for quantum optical technology. In this paper, we address the characterization of those nonlinear media using quantum probes, as opposed to semiclassical ones. In particular, we investigate how squeezed probes may improve individual and joint estimation of the nonlinear coupling λ˜ and of the nonlinearity order ζ. Upon using tools from quantum estimation, we show that: (i) the two parameters are compatible, i.e., the may be jointly estimated without additional quantum noise
