INTELLIMAN. WP4. Adaptive shared autonomy. T4_3. Advanced human-robot interaction modalities. Hannes prosthetic hand MuJoCo model. v0
Full text linkThe Hannes prosthetic hand has been implemented as a detailed model within the MuJoCo simulation environment to enable physics-based investigation of its functionality. The model reproduces the kinematics of the finger joints and the actuation principles of the hand, allowing the study of motion dynamics, force interactions, and grasping behavior under controlled conditions. By embedding the Hannes hand in MuJoCo, researchers can perform repeatable and customizable experiments that capture realistic interactions with virtual objects while maintaining full control over parameters such as joint velocity, applied forces, and contact constraints. This implementation serves as a flexible foundation for testing prosthetic control algorithms and exploring user interaction scenarios prior to hardware validation, supporting the development of more effective and adaptive human–prosthesis integration strategies. This model was implemented in the framework of the Horizon Europe project INTELLIMAN
Data on European eel (Anguilla anguilla) hatching enzyme transcriptome and its collagenase-like activity in fertilised and pre-hatching embryos
No full textThis dataset supports a study of the hatching enzyme in European eel (Anguilla anguilla) embryos obtained after maturation inducing hormonal treatment and assisted reproduction. Comparing vital (N=12) and non-vital (N=12) embryo pools two hours post-fertilisation (t0), and pre-hatching (t55). The focus of the study was, if the obtainable variable hatching rates are due to any discrepancies in the expression of the high choriolytic enzyme 1-like gene, in its collagenase-like choriolytic activity, and/or the intracellular Zn+ concentrations involved in the activation of the enzyme. A qPCR based relative quantification was used for the expression analysis, Collagenase zymography assay for the activity measurement, and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry for the quantification of intracellular Zn+ concentrations
The Size and Uncertainty of Government Spending Multipliers in Italian Regions
Full text linkThis study evaluates the effectiveness of Italian local fiscal policy by estimating regional government spending multipliers at the NUTS-2 and NUTS-1 levels, using annual data from 1995 to 2021. We employ a novel econometric methodology to comprehensively capture the heterogeneous effects of exogenous government spending across regions, disentangling the effects of public investment from those of public consumption. Our analysis is based on Factor Augmented Vector Autoregressive (FA-VAR) models, where an external instrument is used to indirectly identify fiscal spending shocks. To address the challenge of identifying valid external instruments in a context of limited cross-sectional data, we use factor analysis to construct a non-fiscal instrument capturing the ”common” (national) component driving the dynamics of Italian regional output. This instrument is applied across all regions to estimate fiscal reaction functions. We find that while expansionary fiscal shocks induce positive short term effects - particularly when public regional investment is analyzed separately from public regional consumption - the uncertainty surrounding these effects is remarkably high. This crucial aspect, often overlooked in the existing literature, complicates the empirical assessment of the effectiveness of regional fiscal policy. Based on our bootstrap-based robust confidence intervals, the effects of fiscal spending shocks tend to dissipate in a few years. We also detected significant regional disparities, with fiscal multipliers being larger in the Center-North regions compared to the Southern regions. This pattern persists even when analyzing Italian macro-areas (NUTS-1 level), underscoring the need for tailored regional fiscal policies
Dataset of the project FISCUS. Fiscal Estate in Medieval Italy: Continuity and Change (9th-12th Centuries)
No full textThis dataset contains the .xml files used to create the FISCUS online database (DOI: 10.60760/unibo/fiscus; ISBN: 9788854971394), which is the main output of the PRIN2017 research project FISCUS. The main folder of the dataset, FISCUS_documents_20250206, is divided into twenty-three sub-folders; each of them contains the .xml files with the text of the medieval documents that have been marked up by the authors and/or the contributors of the online database FISCUS. One will also find the folder named FISCUS_authority-list_20250206, which is made of five files. Each of those includes the data related to one specific category of objects which were regarded as particularly important for the study of fiscal estates during the early and the central Middle Ages: namely, the landed estates and the jurisdictional ambits in which fiscal properties and/or the exertion of public rights is recorded; the juridical persons (churches, monasteries and urban communes) mentioned in the documents; the people and the places which appear in our documentary record; and finally the list of keywords (thesaurus)
Von Johann Jakob Schmidt zu Paulo Carlos Schmidt: Namen und Identität der Deutschstämmigen in Brasilien von der Auswanderung bis heute
Full text linkThis diachronic study examines the first names of people of German descent in southern Brazil. The data is based on baptismal records from the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Hamburgo Velho (Rio Grande do Sul) from the period 1845–1952. The study shows that the political and social developments during this hundred-year period, which had a significant influence on the development of the identity of people of German descent, are reflected in the names given. For example, the names given at baptism reflect the initial isolation of the German colonies, secularisation at the end of the 19th century, and the strong pressure to assimilate during the two world wars. It also becomes clear that girls and boys play different roles in representing ethnic affiliation
Migrierende Namen. Raum als Schauplatz und Metapher für wechselnde Zugehörigkeiten
Full text linkThis article analyses narratives by persons who have changed their name and/or bear different names in different social spaces by discussing two interview studies. After introducing social indexicality as a theoretical basis for the observed variation, the first case study is discussed: one-to-one-interviews with informants from communities of Russian colonists of the 18th and 19th centuries (“Spätaussiedler”)., whose families historically migrated from Germany to areas later incorporated in the Soviet Union. They were recognized as co-ethnic by German administration when they migrated to Germany in late 20th c., and were encouraged to adopt “Germanized” names. The second case study discusses focus groups with members of rural communities in Germany who use special name forms linked to rural dialect, genealogy, and topography within the village. In both interview conditions, informants discussed factors determining the choice of name variants as well as attitudes towards name variants and name change. The analysis is selective and qualitative with special focus on the informants’ use of spatial relations in their narrations about name use and name change. In an outlook, the two cases are compared regarding spatial reference and indexicality of name variants

GC-MS Analysis of Volatile Compound Areas of low alcohol beverage based on concentrated white wine produced by NF and RO membranes
No full textThis dataset presents the impact of ethanol removal on the volatile compound profile of white wine using nanofiltration (NF-DK) and reverse osmosis (RO-SG) membranes. The experiments were conducted at a transmembrane pressure (TMP) of 20 bar for the NF-DK membrane and 30 bar for the RO-SG membrane, with both inlet and outlet pressures set accordingly. The flow rate was maintained at 7 ± 0.2 L/min, and the temperature was controlled at 21 ± 1 °C using a jacketed heat exchanger for both sets of experiments. To produce low-alcohol wine-based beverages (RO(B) and NF(B)), the permeate separated from the wine was replaced with an equivalent weight of distilled water after each process, ensuring that the original wine volume of 6 kg was restored. The volatile profiles of the dealcoholized wines were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) coupled with solid-phase microextraction (SPME). The retention of volatile compounds was substantially higher in RO(B) (55%) compared to NF(B) (28%), highlighting significant differences in aroma and flavor. This provides insights into the changes in the volatile composition of white wine due to the ethanol removal process and underscores the influence of different membrane process on the wine's aroma profile.
