1. Axial Symmetry in Primary School through a 'Milieu' Based on Visual Programming

Author

Rosamaria Crisci, Umberto Dello Iacono, and Eva Ferrara Dentice

Abstract

This paper outlines the design and application of a didactic sequence aimed at facilitating primary students' understanding of axial symmetry, utilizing a combination of digital artefacts and paper tasks. We wondered to what extent the designed didactic sequence is able to make primary school students formulate and validate effective programming strategies to construct symmetrical images with respect to an axis and identify the key properties of axial symmetry. Data analysis from a study carried out with fifth-grade students shows a link between the evolution of students' programming strategies and the construction of mathematical knowledge related to the definition of axial symmetry. The digital artefact and the paper tasks were effective in bringing out programming strategies and some of the key properties of axial symmetry. However, the designed didactic sequence was not enough to allow students to identify all properties related to axial symmetry, and a subsequent intervention by the teacher was necessary. The results of the experimentation led us to expand the paper tasks with additional questions for students.

Abstract

The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is a computational technique of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) that has gained popularity due to its high parallelism and ability to handle complex geometries with minimal effort. Although LBM frameworks are increasingly important in various industries and research fields, their complexity makes them difficult to modify and can lead to suboptimal performance. This paper presents miniLB, the first, to the best of our knowledge, SYCL-based LBM mini-app.miniLB addresses the need for a performance-portable LBM proxy app capable of abstracting complex fluid dynamics simulations across heterogeneous computing systems. We analyze SYCL semantics for performance portability and evaluate miniLB on multiple GPU architectures using various SYCL implementations. Our results, compared against a manually-tuned FORTRAN version, demonstrate effectiveness of miniLB in assessing LBM performance across diverse hardware, offering valuable insights for optimizing large-scale LBM frameworks in modern computing environments., Comment: 12 pages, conference

Abstract

Today digital revolution is having a dramatic impact on the pharmaceutical industry and the entire healthcare system. The implementation of machine learning, extreme-scale computer simulations, and big data analytics in the drug design and development process offers an excellent opportunity to lower the risk of investment and reduce the time to the patient. Within the LIGATE project, we aim to integrate, extend, and co-design best-in-class European components to design Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD) solutions exploiting today's high-end supercomputers and tomorrow's Exascale resources, fostering European competitiveness in the field. The proposed LIGATE solution is a fully integrated workflow that enables to deliver the result of a virtual screening campaign for drug discovery with the highest speed along with the highest accuracy. The full automation of the solution and the possibility to run it on multiple supercomputing centers at once permit to run an extreme scale in silico drug discovery campaign in few days to respond promptly for example to a worldwide pandemic crisis., Comment: Paper Accepted to the 20th ACM International Conference on Computing Frontiers (CF'23)

Abstract

Virtual screening is an early stage of the drug discovery process that selects the most promising candidates. In the urgent computing scenario it is critical to find a solution in a short time frame. In this paper, we focus on a real-world virtual screening application to evaluate out-of-kernel optimizations, that consider input and architecture features to improve the computation efficiency on GPU. Experiment results on a modern supercomputer node show that we can almost double the performance. Moreover, we implemented the optimization using SYCL and it provides a consistent benefit with the CUDA optimization. A virtual screening campaign can use this gain in performance to increase the number of evaluated candidates, improving the probability of finding a drug.

Abstract

Bilevel learning is a powerful optimization technique that has extensively been employed in recent years to bridge the world of model-driven variational approaches with data-driven methods. Upon suitable parametrization of the desired quantities of interest (e.g., regularization terms or discretization filters), such approach computes optimal parameter values by solving a nested optimization problem where the variational model acts as a constraint. In this work, we consider two different use cases of bilevel learning for the problem of image restoration. First, we focus on learning scalar weights and convolutional filters defining a Field of Experts regularizer to restore natural images degraded by blur and noise. For improving the practical performance, the lower-level problem is solved by means of a gradient descent scheme combined with a line-search strategy based on the Barzilai-Borwein rule. As a second application, the bilevel setup is employed for learning a discretization of the popular total variation regularizer for solving image restoration problems (in particular, deblurring and super-resolution). Numerical results show the effectiveness of the approach and their generalization to multiple tasks., Comment: Acknowledgments corrected

Abstract

This article focuses on the relationship between contemporary artistic practices and archives. It investigates – through the lens of postcolonial studies and decolonial studies – how artistic creation contributes to reflections on knowledge and public memory construction from the grassroots. The analysis of this dense intertwining starts from the case of documenta fifteen – held in 2022 in Kassel, Germany – by retracing some of the exhibited projects, such as The Black Archives and Archives des luttes des femmes en Algérie exhibited in the Fridericianum Museum and Borrowed Faces and Frictional Conversation by Yasmine Eid Sabbagh presented in Hafenstrasse. These works, although situated in specific geographies and contexts, in their common instances make it possible to construe a critical discourse on the archival apparatus and at the same time they elaborate new proposals in the urgency of finding another way of dealing with the history of the oppressed, recovering traumatic memories, using the tools of narration, reactivating processes of subjectivation and recognition of marginalised communities.

Abstract

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a highly prevalent disease. We aimed to assess the symptoms that physicians who see patients with AR perceive as the most bothersome in their patients. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study based on an online questionnaire sent to all members of the Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) initiative. The survey included questions on the physicians' perceptions of patients’ AR symptoms as well as of their own AR symptoms. Results: Among 401 respondents, 155 (38.7%) reported having AR. ARIA members reported nasal symptoms to be the most frequent (89.7%) and bothersome (80.0%) symptoms experienced by themselves. Likewise, nasal symptoms were reported by ARIA members as the most frequent (94.8% in members with AR vs 96.0% in members without AR) and bothersome (57.0% in members with AR vs 67.9% in members without AR) in their patients. We found a significant association (p = 0.001) between physicians’ own symptoms and those perceived as the most bothersome in their patients. Conclusion: Physicians perceive nasal symptoms to be the most frequent and the most bothersome symptoms in AR patients. The physicians' personal experiences with AR may influence their perception of patients’ symptoms.

Abstract

This paper introduces a geological map of the Sila mountain block (Northern Calabria, Italy), realized as a tool to promote knowledge of this geological landscape uniqueness and to develop effective geoheritage management and enhancement strategies, also from a geotouristic and geoeducational perspective. The Sila block is defined as a plateau whose morphology is deeply connected to its lithological characteristics and tectonic evolution that combined with exogenous processes over time has conditioned the landscape. The 1:60,000 scale map provides an overall scheme of the main geological units and tectonic elements constituting the study area, as a synthesis of thematic cartography existing in the literature coupled to targeted investigations and field surveys. It also displays the main geosites and geosite systems, identified with the purpose of communicating geoheritage processes/products, which favour an understanding of the surrounding environment, and for tourist purposes.

Abstract

BackgroundLung cancer, predominantly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), remains a formidable challenge, necessitating an in-depth understanding of evolving treatment paradigms. The Italian Lung Cancer Observational Study (LUCENT) addresses this need by investigating the outcomes of patients with early and locally advanced lung cancer in Italy. ObjectiveWith a focus on real-world data and patient registries, this study aims to provide comprehensive insights into clinical, psychosocial, and economic impacts, contributing to informed decision-making in health care. MethodsLUCENT is a prospective observational multicenter cohort study enrolling patients eligible for minimally invasive manual, robot-assisted, or traditional open surgery. The study will develop a web-based registry to collect longitudinal surgical, oncological, and socioeconomic outcome data. The primary objectives include performance assessment through the establishment of national benchmarks based on risk-adjusted outcomes and processes of care indicators. The secondary objectives encompass economic and psychosocial impact assessments of innovative technologies and treatment pathways. The multicenter design ensures a diverse and representative study population. ResultsThe evolving landscape of NSCLC treatment necessitates a nuanced approach with consideration of the dynamic shifts in therapeutic strategies. LUCENT strives to fill existing knowledge gaps by providing a platform for collecting and analyzing real-world data, emphasizing the importance of patient-reported outcomes in enhancing the understanding of the disease. By developing a web-based registry, the study not only facilitates efficient data collection but also addresses the limitations of traditional methods, such as suboptimal response rates and costs associated with paper-and-pencil questionnaires. Recruitment will be conducted from January 01, 2024, to December 31, 2026. Follow-up will be performed for a minimum of 2 years. The study will be completed in the year 2028. ConclusionsLUCENT’s potential implications are substantial. Establishing national benchmarks will enable a thorough evaluation of outcomes and care processes, guiding clinicians and policymakers in optimizing patient management. Furthermore, the study’s secondary objectives, focusing on economic and psychosocial impacts, align with the contemporary emphasis on holistic cancer care. Insights gained from this study may influence treatment strategies, resource utilization, and patient well-being, thereby contributing to the ongoing refinement of lung cancer management.

Abstract

Wearable technologies are attracting increasing attention in the materials science field, prompting a quest for active components with beneficial functional attributes whilst ensuring human and environmental safety. Hydrogels are highly biocompatible platforms with interesting mechanical properties, which can be exploited for the construction of strain sensors. In order to improve the directionality of their strain response and combine it with electrical properties to fabricate piezoresistive devices, it is possible to incorporate various types of nanofillers within the polymeric network of the hydrogels. 2D materials are ideal nanofillers thanks to their intrinsic two‐dimensional anisotropy and unique electronic properties. Herein, the covalent functionalization of 2D 1T‐MoS2 is exploited to build robust hybrid cross‐linked networks with a polyethylene glycol diacrylate gel (PEGDA). The conductivity of this nanocomposite is also further improved by inducing the interfacial polymerization of aniline. The resulting free‐standing samples demonstrate a linear and highly reversible piezoresistive response in a pressure range compatible with that of peripheral blood, while also featuring good compatibility with human skin cells, thereby making them interesting options for incorporation into wearable strain sensors.

Abstract

3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency (3MCCD) is a hereditary disorder of leucine catabolism caused by pathogenetic variants in the MCCC1 or MCCC2 genes. Typically diagnosed through newborn screening (NBS), 3MCCD is characterized by elevation of 3-hydroxyisovalerylcarnitine (C5OH) in blood as well as increased excretion of 3-methylcrotonylglycine (3-MCG) in urine. While most diagnosed children remain asymptomatic, data on adults are scarce. To date, only 39 molecularly confirmed adult individuals have been reported, all being mothers diagnosed subsequent to their child NBS results. Herein, we present a 36-year-old asymptomatic man who was incidentally diagnosed with 3MCCD following his son NBS recall. Molecular analysis revealed compound heterozygosity for two pathogenic variants in the MCCC1 gene. This is the first molecularly confirmed adult man with 3MCCD reported. This case highlights the need for additional longitudinal follow-up data on individuals with 3MCCD to clarify the clinical significance of this condition and guide clinical practice, including NBS strategy.

Abstract

BackgroundA sex-based evaluation of prognosis in heart failure (HF) is lacking.Methods and resultsWe analyzed the Metabolic Exercise test data combined with Cardiac and Kidney Indexes (MECKI) score registry, which includes HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients. A cross-validation procedure was performed to estimate weights separately for men and women of all MECKI score parameters: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), hemoglobin, kidney function assessed by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease, blood sodium level, ventilation vs. carbon dioxide production slope, and peak oxygen consumption (peakVO2). The primary outcomes were the composite of all-cause mortality, urgent heart transplant, and implant of a left ventricle assist device. The difference in predictive ability between the native and sex recalibrated MECKI (S-MECKI) was calculated using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve at 2 years and a calibration plot. We retrospectively analyzed 7,900 HFrEF patients included in the MECKI score registry (mean age 61 ± 13 years, 6,456 men/1,444 women, mean LVEF 33% ± 10%, mean peakVO2 56.2% ± 17.6% of predicted) with a median follow-up of 4.05 years (range 1.72–7.47). Our results revealed an unadjusted risk of events that was doubled in men compared to women (9.7 vs. 4.1) and a significant difference in weight between the sexes of most of the parameters included in the MECKI score. S-MECKI showed improved risk classification and accuracy (area under the ROC curve: 0.7893 vs. 0.7799, p = 0.02) due to prognostication improvement in the high-risk settings in both sexes (MECKI score >10 in men and >5 in women).ConclusionsS-MECKI, i.e., the recalibrated MECKI according to sex-specific differences, constitutes a further step in the prognostic assessment of patients with severe HFrEF.

Abstract

To establish a closer contact between school and experimental sciences, Sapienza Universit\`a di Roma and the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) launched the Lab2Go project. Lab2Go has the goal of spreading laboratory practice among students and teachers in high schools. In this article, it is presented a measurement, carried out in the framework of the Lab2Go project, of the ratio hc/e where h, c and e are respectively the Planck constant, the speed of light in the vacuum, and the electric charge.
