HAGHÌA TRIÀDA (CRETA): REINTEGRAZIONE DELLA LACUNA COME PRESENZA DELL’ASSENZA
2015
Il saggio intende presentare l’intervento, dei primi del sec. XX, nel palazzo-villa di Haghìa Triàda, nell’isola di Creta, per la conservazione del suo megaron. La sala possiede forma quasi quadrata, con sedili, ricoperti di lastre di gesso alabastrino, disposti nei tre lati; di fronte ad essa è una corte che la separa dall’esterno. La sala doveva avere una copertura sostenuta da pilastri di legno, che portavano le travi e i solai degli ambienti sovrastanti. Gli alloggiamenti, dove un tempo erano inseriti i pilastri di legno, risultavano perimetrati dalle lastre di gesso che ricoprivano le pareti della sala. In detti vani furono rinvenuti resti di legno carbonizzato, a testimonianza di un i…
Spatial source phase : A new feature for identifying spatial differences based on complex-valued resting-state fMRI data
2019
Spatial source phase, the phase information of spatial maps extracted from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data by data‐driven methods such as independent component analysis (ICA), has rarely been studied. While the observed phase has been shown to convey unique brain information, the role of spatial source phase in representing the intrinsic activity of the brain is yet not clear. This study explores the spatial source phase for identifying spatial differences between patients with schizophrenia (SZs) and healthy controls (HCs) using complex‐valued resting‐state fMRI data from 82 individuals. ICA is first applied to preprocess fMRI data, and post‐ICA phase de‐ambiguity and den…
Effects of states governments restrictions related on Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on states economy - comparison of Baltic States, Sweden, and Bel…
2021
In order to limit the spread of COVID-19, states have gradually implemented restrictions mandating school and kindergarten closures, postponing academic semesters and prohibiting visits to nursing homes to protect the elderly, borders were closed, states prohibited physical contact with more than one person from outside one's household, and other restrictions. This paper examines the economic effects of policies to contain Covid-19 in Baltic States by comparing they with experience of Sweden and Belarus where approach was less stringent and based more on social responsibility than legal obligations compared to the other European states
Odpowiedzialność Skarbu Państwa wobec akcjonariuszy (udziałowców) upadłego za szkodę wyrządzoną przez Sąd Upadłościowy poprzez niesłuszne orzeczenie …
2021
Niniejsze opracowanie odnosi się do zagadnień związanych z odpowiedzialnością odszkodowawczą Skarbu Państwa w stosunku do udziałowców dłużnika z tytułu błędnego orzeczenia o opcji upadłości likwidacyjnej zamiast o opcji restrukturyzacji. Postępowanie wszczyna się na wniosek uprawnionego. O otwarciu postępowania decyduje sąd. W praktyce może dojść do sytuacji, w której będą złożone konkurencyjne względem siebie wnioski: albo zmierzające do likwidacji majątku dłużnika, albo mające na celu jego restrukturyzację. Opracowanie odnosi się do dwóch stanów prawnych: do stanu prawnego obowiązującego w latach 2003–2015 i do stanu prawnego zującego od 2016 r. W artykule poddano analizie ustawowe kryter…
Sleepless in Carver Country: Insomnia and Existential Crisis in Raymond Carver’s Short Fiction
2020
Chez Raymond Carver, la nuit n’est jamais uniquement une toile de fond réaliste. Dans ses nouvelles se déroulant après la tombée de la nuit, Carver joue à déconstruire les clichés généralement associés au confort de l’intimité nocturne et du lit conjugal. L’insomnie qui frappe certains de ses personnages les renvoie au contraire à leur complète solitude et à leur condition de mortels. Cet article cherche donc à voir comment la nuit blanche carvérienne est utilisée métaphoriquement pour exprimer l’angoisse de personnages souvent peu expansifs, qui veulent leur part du Rêve américain mais se retrouvent pris au piège d’un cauchemar existentiel. In Raymond Carver’s short fiction, the night is n…
Towards CCTV-aware Routing and Navigation for Privacy, Anonymity, and Safety - Feasibility Study in Jyväskylä
2021
AbstractIn order to withstand the ever-increasing invasion of privacy by CCTV cameras and technologies, on par CCTV-aware solutions must exist that provide privacy, safety, and cybersecurity features. We argue that a first important step towards such CCTV-aware solutions must be a mapping system (e.g., Google Maps, OpenStreetMap) that provides both privacy and safety routing and navigation options. Unfortunately, to the best of our knowledge, there are no mapping nor navigation systems that support CCTV-privacy and CCTV-safety routing options. At the same time, in order to move the privacy vs. safety debate related to CCTV surveillance cameras from purely subjective to data-driven and evide…
An International Survey of Quality and Safety Programs in Radiology
2021
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the status of radiology quality improvement programs in a variety of selected nations worldwide. Methods: A survey was developed by select members of the International Economics Committee of the American College of Radiology on quality programs and was distributed to committee members. Members responded on behalf of their country. The 51-question survey asked about 12 different quality initiatives which were grouped into 4 themes: departments, users, equipment, and outcomes. Respondents reported whether a designated type of quality initiative was used in their country and answered subsequent questions further characterizing it. Results: The re…
Science education and the “state of the world”: a programme of activities to enhance teacher’s perception of global problems and possible remedies
2003
A literatura sobre formação de professores de ciências não tem tratado suficientemente a situação do mundo quanto a uma percepção global de seus graves problemas atuais. O presente artigo consiste essencialmente de um programa de atividades a ser desenvolvido com professores em formação e em exercício, que visa favorecer uma reflexão coletiva e conscientização sobre essa problemática. Nesta perspectiva é apontado um conjunto de referências e questões para um debate fundamentado sobre vários dos fatores associados à degradação da vida e sobre possíveis medidas para o enfrentamento da emergência planetária. Investigações preliminares sobre a utilização do programa proposto têm revelado result…
The Role of Excited Oxygen Molecules in the Formation of the Secondary Ozone Layer at 87 to 97 km
2018
The secondary ozone layer is located at elevations of 87 to 97 km in the upper mesosphere – lower thermosphere. It overlaps with the ionospheric D-layer. Daytime intensive UV radiation is dissociating O2 molecules to O atoms and photoexcitating O2 molecules up to 11.07eV level. Ozone photolysis between the wavelengths of 118.7–121.6 nm produces three oxygen atoms from one ozone molecule. Collision reactions of O2(B3 Σu —) and O2(X3 Σg —, υ≥26) with O2(X3 Σg —, υ=0) produce additional oxygen atoms. The number of oxygen atoms is maintained at such a high level that a small but significant ozone concentration survives. UV radiation weakens radically during the night. The number of O atoms show…
I-125 seed calibration using the SeedSelectron(®) afterloader: a practical solution to fulfill AAPM-ESTRO recommendations.
2012
Purpose SeedSelectron® v1.26b (Nucletron BV, The Netherlands) is an afterloader system used in prostate interstitial permanent brachytherapy with I-125 selectSeed seeds. It contains a diode array to assay all implanted seeds. Only one or two seeds can be extracted during the surgical procedure and assayed using a well chamber to check the manufacturer air-kerma strength (SK) and to calibrate the diode array. Therefore, it is not feasible to assay 5–10% seeds as required by the AAPM-ESTRO. In this study, we present a practical solution of the SeedSelectron® users to fulfill the AAPM- ESTRO recommendations. Material and methods The method is based on: a) the SourceCheck® well ionization chamb…
