RoMEO Studies 2: How academics wish to protect their open-access research paper
No full textThis paper is the second in a series of studies (see Gadd, E., C. Oppenheim, and S. Probets. RoMEO Studies 1: The impact of copyright ownership on author-self-archiving. Journal of Documentation. 59(3) 243-277) emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights Metadata for Open-archiving). It considers the protection for research papers afforded by UK copyright law, and by e-journal licences. It compares this with the protection required by academic authors for open-access research papers as discovered by the RoMEO academic author survey. The survey used the Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL) as a framework for collecting views from 542 academics as to the permissions, restrictions, and conditions they wanted to assert over their works. Responses from self-archivers and non-archivers are compared. Concludes that most academic authors are primarily interested in preserving their moral rights, and that the protection offered research papers by copyright law is way in excess of that required by most academics. It also raises concerns about the level of protection enforced by e-journal licence agreement
RoMEO Studies 5: IPR issues for OAI Data and Service Providers
No full textThis paper is the fifth in a series of studies emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights Metadata for Open-archiving). It reports the results of two surveys of OAI Data Providers (DPs) and Service Providers (SPs) with regards to the rights issues they face. It finds that very few DPs have rights agreements with depositing authors and that there is no standard approach to the creation of rights metadata. The paper considers the rights protection afforded individual and collections of metadata records under UK Law and contrasts this with DP and SP’s views on the rights status of metadata and how they wish to protect it. The majority of DP and SPs believe that a standard way of describing both the rights status of documents and of metadata would be usefu
RoMEO Studies 3: How academics expect to use open-access research papers
No full textThis paper is the third in a series of studies emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights Metadata for Open-archiving). It considers previous studies of the usage of electronic journal articles through a literature survey. It then reports on the results of a survey of 542 academic authors as to how they expected to use open-access research papers. This data is compared with results from the second of the RoMEO Studies series as to how academics wished to protect their open-access research papers. The ways in which academics expect to use open-access works (including activities, restrictions and conditions) are described. It concludes that academics-as-users do not expect to perform all the activities with open-access research papers that academics-as-authors would allow. Thus the rights metadata proposed by the RoMEO Project would appear to meet the usage requirements of most academics

Summer school "I fiumi come infrastrutture culturali" (Programma Europeo CULTURE 2000)
No full textTale iniziativa organizzata dal Laboratorio CITER (responsabile Romeo Farinella) del Dipartimento di Architettura, diretto dal sottoscritto, si è svolta nell'ambito delle azioni previste dal Progetto "I fiumi come infrastrutture culturali" del Programma europeo "CULTURE 2000" (Team leader: Romeo Farinella).
L'oggetto della SS ha riguardato la riqualificazione e la valorizzazione dei paesaggi fluviali europei ed hanno partecipato esperti italiani (A.Clementi, M. Moretti, P. Ceccarelli) stranieri (C. Girot) ed esperti dei paesi e delle istituzioni aderenti al progetto (Finlandia, Francia, Italia, Polonia, Portogallo)

Neuroactive steroids in depression and anxiety disorders: Clinical studies
No full textCertain neuroactive steroids modulate ligand-gated ion channels via non-genomic mechanisms. Especially 3 alpha-reduced pregnane steroids are potent positive allosteric modulators of the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA(A)) receptor. During major depression, there is a disequilibrium of 3 alpha-reduced neuroactive steroids, which is corrected by clinically effective pharmacological treatment. To investigate whether these alterations are a general principle of successful antidepressant treatment, we studied the impact of nonpharmacological treatment options on neuroactive steroid concentrations during major depression. Neither partial sleep deprivation, transcranial magnetic stimulation, nor electroconvulsive therapy affected neuroactive steroid levels irrespectively of the response to these treatments. These studies suggest that the changes in neuroactive steroid concentrations observed after antidepressant pharmacotherapy more likely reflect distinct pharmacological properties of antidepressants rather than the clinical response. In patients with panic disorder, changes in neuroactive steroid composition have been observed opposite to those seen in depression. However, during experimentally induced panic induction either with cholecystokinine-tetrapeptide or sodium lactate, there was a pronounced decline in the concentrations of 3 alpha-reduced neuroactive steroids in patients with panic disorder, which might result in a decreased GABAergic tone. In contrast, no changes in neuroactive steroid concentrations could be observed in healthy controls with the exception of 3 alpha,5 alpha-tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone. The modulation of GABA(A) receptors by neuroactive steroids might contribute to the pathophysiology of depression and anxiety disorders and might offer new targets for the development of novel anxiolytic compounds.

Romeo Mansueti papers
No full textRomeo Mansueti (1923-1963) was a biologist and research professor at the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory and at the University of Maryland. He received his bachelor's degree (1948) and master's degree (1950) from the University of Maryland and Ph.D. (1957) from Johns Hopkins University. Mansueti's papers document his professional work on various committees and as editor of several scientific journals, as well as his research on fish migration, bionomics of fresh water and estuarine fish populations, and the taxonomy and ecology of fish eggs. Teaching materials, reports and pamphlets, legislation on commercial fishing, and photographs are also included
The Intersectional Counter-Gaze of Geneviève Makaping in Traiettorie di sguardi
No full textTraiettorie di sguardi is a hybrid text–partly memoir, partly anthropological essay–in which for the first time in Italian literature the author as a Black woman reverses the colonial gaze and records the racist attitude of the Italian population toward Black people. Makaping thus rewrites a long ethnographic tradition in which Africans have constituted the object of observation rather than the subjects of epistemology and produces the first theoretical reflection elaborated by a Black Italian (woman) intellectual in the Italian language on structural racism in Italy as a legacy of colonialism
