Introducing “La fabrique du droit”. A Conversation with Bruno Latour
No full textBruno Latour talks with Paolo Landri about his book on the Conseil d'Etat (La Fabrique du droit). The conversation was held in 2006 at the time of the Italian translation of the book and illustrates the research project and the difficulties the author had in the field. At the same time, it clarifies the trajectories of Bruno Latour's work and theoretical framework of his program of study with respect to sociology, anthropology, and philosophy of law. The conversation helps to understand the open-ended character of Bruno Latour's research and reflection including STS as well as sociological, anthropological and philosophical themes
Autorappresentazione e onomastica: riflessioni sulla monetazione romano-repubblicana
No full textScholarship on numismatic self-representation of senatorial families has always paid attention to the iconography of Roman Republican coins, usually overlooking the onomastic features. This paper is an attempt to (partially) fill this gap: it focuses on some aspects of the onomastic formulae employed by late Republican moneyers and highlights their significance for further research on the ideology and prosopography of the Roman aristocracy
Optimal time-profiles of public health intervention to shape voluntary vaccination for childhood diseases
No full textIn order to seek the optimal time-profiles of public health systems (PHS) Intervention to favor vaccine propensity, we apply optimal control (OC) to a SIR model with voluntary vaccination and PHS intervention. We focus on short-term horizons, and on both continuous control strategies resulting from the forward–backward sweep deterministic algorithm, and piecewise-constant strategies (which are closer to the PHS way of working) investigated by the simulated annealing (SA) stochastic algorithm. For childhood diseases, where disease costs are much larger than vaccination costs, the OC solution sets at its maximum for most of the policy horizon, meaning that the PHS cannot further improve perceptions about the net benefit of immunization. Thus, the subsequent dynamics of vaccine uptake stems entirely from the declining perceived risk of infection (due to declining prevalence) which is communicated by direct contacts among parents, and unavoidably yields a future decline in vaccine uptake. We find that for relatively low communication costs, the piecewise control is close to the continuous control. For large communication costs the SA algorithm converges towards a non-monotone OC that can have oscillations

On Bruno Schulz’s Bookplates
No full textThe Polish version of the article was published in Roczniki Humanistyczne vol. 64, issue 1 (2016).
The article enters into a dialogue with the interpretation of Bruno Schulz’s bookplates made by Władysław Panas in his book Bruno od Mesjasza (Bruno of the Messiah) (Lublin 2001). An attempt to understand them in a different (less holistic) way leads the author of the article to the conclusion that in Schulz’s plates the first veiled variant of the mythical Book may be seen—of the fundamental motif of Bruno Schulz’s later literary work
Jordan "Bruno" Gegenhuber '16 Publishes First-Author Research
No full textJordan "Bruno" Gegenhuber '16 had first-author research, "Gene regulation by gonadal hormone receptors underlies brain sex differences," published in nature magazine on May 4, 2022.Jordan "Bruno" Gegenhuber '16 had first-author research, "Gene regulation by gonadal hormone receptors underlies brain sex differences," published in Nature magazine on May 4, 2022.
Sex hormones play a central role in shaping behavior throughout the animal kingdom, and this study maps where the receptor for estrogen binds to DNA in neurons that regulate rodent social interactions. The findings reveal that estrogen establishes lasting sex differences in gene expression and neuroanatomy during brain development, and identifies hundreds of genes that may mediate estrogen's effects on behavior and disease.
Gegenhuber earned a PhD from the Cold Springs Harbor Laboratory School of Biological Sciences in Long Island, N.Y.. in May 2022. His field of research is in neuroscience, and he has accepted a postdoctoral research position at Harvard Medical Center in Boston, Mass. He also holds the honor of being the Pacific Class of 2016 Valedictorian
