Proceedings of the LREC 2020 workshop on Resources and Techniques for User and Author Profiling in Abusive Language (ResT-UP 2020)
No full textThis volume documents the Proceedings of the 1st Workshop on Resources and Techniques for User and Author Profiling in Abusive Language (ResT-UP), held online on 12 May 2020 as part of the LREC 2020 conference (International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation).
The workshop aimed at bringing together researchers and scholars working on author profiling and automatic detection of abusive language on the Web, e.g., cyberbullying or hate speech, with a twofold objective: improving the existing LRs, e.g., datasets, corpora, lexicons, and sharing ideas on stylometry techniques and features needed for profile information extraction and classification. ResT-UP targeted Profiling scholars and research groups, experts in Statistic and Stylistic Analysis of texts as well as computational linguists who investigate author profile and personality both in short texts (social media posts, blog texts and email) and in long texts (such as pamphlets, (fake) news and political documents). ReST-UP represented an opportunity to share profiling experiments with the scientific community and to show automatic detection techniques of abusive language on the Web. Despite the cancellation of LREC 2020 due to the COVID-19 international emergency, ResT-UP was organized online on Microsoft Teams on May 12th 2020 and the programme included three oral presentations and featured an invited talk by Paolo Rosso. ResT-UP was attended by about fifty representatives of academic and industrial organisations
Psicofisiologia dell'esperienza poetica nello Ione platonico
No full textThis paper deals with Plato’s elaboration of the topos of the inspired poet in the Ion. After briefly discussing Plato’s inquiry into the notion of techne, the author explores the nature and function of poetic inspiration in the context of the rhapsode’s performance. The author claims that inspiration consists in an imaginative process of emotional absorption and is grounded on specific modes of psychophysical stimulation, from which aesthetic pleasure stems. The author also claims that the emphasis Plato puts on the somatosensory dimension of poetic experience contributes to an understanding of emotions as psychophysical experiences and represents Plato’s main argument for radicalizing the antithesis between techne and enthousiasmòs
Molecular cloning and characterization of the AVR-Pia locus from a Japanese field isolate of Magnaporthe oryzae.
No full textIn order to clone and analyse the avirulence gene AVR-Pia from Japanese field isolates of Magnaporthe oryzae, a mutant of the M. oryzae strain Ina168 was isolated. This mutant, which was named Ina168m95-1, gained virulence towards the rice cultivar Aichi-asahi, which contains the resistance gene Pia. A DNA fragment (named PM01) that was deleted in the mutant and that co-segregated with avirulence towards Aichi-asahi was isolated. Three cosmid clones that included the regions that flanked PM01 were isolated from a genomic DNA library. One of these clones (46F3) complemented the mutant phenotype, which indicated clearly that this clone contained the avirulence gene AVR-Pia. Clone 46F3 contained insertions of transposable elements. The 46F3 insert was divided into fragments I-VI, and these were cloned individually into a hygromycin-resistant vector for the transformation of the mutant Ina168m95-1. An inoculation assay of the transformants revealed that fragment V (3.5 kb) contained AVR-Pia. By deletion analysis of fragment V, AVR-Pia was localized to an 1199-bp DNA fragment, which included a 255-bp open reading frame with weak homology to a bacterial cytochrome-c-like protein. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of this region revealed that this DNA sequence co-segregated with the AVR-Pia locus in a genetic map that was constructed using Chinese isolates
Irregular feelings: mimēsis, poikilia, and the emotions in Plato’s Republic
No full textThis paper deals with the psychology of poetic mimēsis in Plato’s Republic and its consequences on artists and audiences in terms of emotional arousal. Focusing on the conceptual bonds between μίμησις and ποικιλία and on the effects they exert on emotions, the author discusses Plato’s ethical concerns about μίμησις from a vantage point that emphasises the role it plays in structuring human cognition. In doing so, the author aims at showing the way aesthetic experience and the emotional engagement it calls forth jeopardize the unity and justice of Plato’s well-structured city and its citizens’ harmonious souls by having a uniquely powerful effect on human learning competences
Analysis of the Cost of Production of Pia in the Context of Determining the Selling Price: Analisis Harga Pokok Produksi Pia dalam Rangka Penentuan Harga Jual
No full textThe research uses descriptive qualitative methods using interview techniques, then observation and documentation as a data collection tool related to the total cost of production costs. The results showed that the company Mami Pia & Cookies has a cost of production which is in accordance with the existing theory, namely the full costing method. Based on these conclusions, the author advises the leadership of Mami Pia & Cookies to carry out calculations using search withAction Based Costing aligned in the application of the theory of accounting. This will make it easier for Mami Pia & cookies to decide the amount of the cost of production and product selling prices, especially in the calculation of factory overhead. By adopting the right approach, companies can make policies that are more accurate and effective in determining the selling price of Mami Pia & Cookies products
An unpublished stele of a veteran of legio VII Claudia pia fidelis from Siculi / Neobjavljena stela veterana legije Sedma Claudia Pia Fidelis iz Sikula
No full textThe author publishes a stele of a veteran of legio VII Claudia pia fidelis found in Siculi. He provides reading of the inscription, onomastic analysis and interpretation in the context of other epigraphic confirmations of the legionary veterans in Salona in the 1st century and their settlement in Siculi in the period of the Emperor Claudius (41-54)
Pia Petersen sous le signe de don Quichotte
No full textThis interview has been motivated by the Cervantean intertextuality of Pia Petersen’s (a French-speaking Danish author) last novel, Le Chien de don Quichotte (2012). Departing from the values that the writer attributes to Cervantes’ work, I try to establish a connection with a specific critical trend in order to test, later on, to which extent this approach is used by the author to create a series of characters placed under the sign of don Quixote. Finally, I evaluate her novel’s relation with contemporary reality
Activation and modulation of lipid- and polysaccharide-induced plant immunity during beneficial plant-microbe interactions
No full textPlants are surrounded by a variety of microorganisms with commensal, mutualistic and pathogenic lifestyle. To monitor their environment, plants employ a multi-layered immune system consisting of extra- and intracellular receptors. Membrane-bound pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) detect conserved microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) outside of plant cells and activate pattern triggered immunity (PTI). Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) detect microbial effectors in the plant cytosol and activate effector triggered immunity (ETI). In the last decades, proteins, carbohydrates, nucelotides and lipids have been identified as MAMPs.
Long-chain carbohydrates, or polysaccharides, are key structural components of microbial extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) matrices and cell walls (CWs), forming the outermost layers of microbial cells. Along with plasma membranes, which are predominantly composed of lipids, these structures constitute the interface for plant-microbe interactions. Consequently, EPS- and CW-derived polysaccharides and membrane lipids play a pivotal role in the establishment of plant-microbe associations. Here, we characterize their role as MAMPs and modulators of immunity in the interaction of the the model plant A. thaliana and crop barley (Hordeum vulgare)
with the beneficial microbes Flavobacterium sp. Root935 and Serendipita indica, respectively. We provide evidence that EPS-matrices from both bacteria and fungi might function as oxidative
shields or calcium chelators in addition to their function as MAMPs, thereby modulating the host immune response (Chapter 2.1, 2.2). This is likely attributed to the high branching or decoration frequency of the EPS. In addition, we identify β-glucan binding proteins as important compatibility factors in beneficial plant-microbe interactions (Chapter 2.3). Moreover, we provide a comprehensive overview of the PTI response, activated upon perception of lipids,
isolated from S. indica mycelium, in barley roots. We identify ergosterol as the main immunogenic component of S. indica mycelium lipids and demonstrate activation of plant lipid signaling pathways, in particular phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP) signaling and diterpene biosynthesis, in response to fungal lipid treatment. This indicates that plant lipids mediate immune responses to fungal lipids in barley (Chapter 3.1). Finally local and systemic host responses to
fungal lipids during S. indica colonization are further characterized (Chapter 3.2) and compared to colonization by the pathogenic fungus Bipolaris sorokiniana (Chapter 3.3). Altogether, the work depicted in this thesis expands our knowledge on the role of lipids and polysaccharides in plant immunity during beneficial plant-microbe interactions, which could be used to develop novel strategies to promote accommodation of beneficial microbes and enhance crop resistance
