Anyonic Realization of the Quantum Affine Lie Algebras
We give a realization of the quantum affine Lie algebras \uqa and \uqc in
terms of anyons defined on a one-dimensional chain (or on a two-dimensional
lattice), the deformation parameter being related to the statistical
parameter of the anyons by . In the limit of the
deformation parameter going to one we recover the Feingold-Frenkel fermionic
construction of undeformed affine Lie algebras.Comment: 8p, LaTeX, subeqn.sty. Also available at

The extended conformal theory of Luttinger systems
We describe the recently introduced method of algebraic bosonization of the
-dimensional Luttinger systems by discussing in detail the specific case
of the Calogero-Sutherland model, and mentioning the hard-core Bose gas. We
also compare our findings with the exact Bethe Ansatz results.Comment: 9 pages, plain Latex file, ,based on a talk given by S. Sciuto at the

Complex sine-Gordon-2: a new algorithm for multivortex solutions on the plane
We present a new vorticity-raising transformation for the second integrable
complexification of the sine-Gordon equation on the plane. The new
transformation is a product of four Schlesinger maps of the Painlev\'{e}-V to
itself, and allows a more efficient construction of the -vortex solution
than the previously reported transformation comprising a product of maps.Comment: Part of a talk given at a conference on "Nonlinear Physics. Theory

The Lorentz force between D0 and D6 branes in string and M(atrix) theory
We use different techniques to analyze the system formed by a D0 brane and a
D6 brane (with background gauge fields) in relative motion. In particular,
using the closed string formalism of boosted boundary states, we show the
presence of a term linear in the velocity, corresponding to the Lorentz force
experienced by the D0 brane moving in the magnetic background produced by the
D6 brane. This term, that was missed in previous analyses of this system, comes
entirely from the R-R odd spin structure and is also reproduced by a M(atrix)
theory calculation.Comment: 13 pages, plain LaTeX; some clarifying comments and a reference adde
Effect of ecological recovery on macrophyte dominance and production in the Venice Lagoon.
In the last decade, the Venice Lagoon showed a significant environmental recovery that changed the assemblages of macroalgal and aquatic angiosperm dominant species and increased significantly the primary production. The decreasing of anthropogenic impacts, such as eutrophication and clam harvesting, favored a strong reduction of Ulvaceae, replaced by species with higher ecological value, and the recolonization of aquatic angiosperms. Consequently, hypo-anoxic conditions, once frequently occurring in the lagoon, have been considerably reduced and aquatic angiosperms have recolonized the area, covering 94.8 km2 in comparison to the 55.9 km2 recorded in 2003 (+70%). Cymodocea nodosa, Zostera marina and Zostera noltei expanded by 37.5%, 44.6% and 191%, respectively, with a significant increase in biomass and primary production. In late spring 2018, angiosperms showed a standing crop of ca. 372 ktonnes (+77%) and a net primary production of ca. 1189 ktonnes FW (+67%). In the meantime, Ruppia cirrhosa, which since the â80s had disappeared from the lagoon areas subjected to tidal expansion, but was still present in some fishing valleys, recolonized the bottoms of the northern lagoon with meadows of over 6 km2; this accounted for a standing crop and net primary production of 8.9 and 18.0 ktonnes, respectively.
On the basis of surveys carried out in 2021, ecological conditions are still improving, and this is increasing both the biodiversity and the production of macroalgae and aquatic angiosperms
Anyonic Realization of the Quantum Affine Lie Superalgebra U_q(A(M,N)^{(1)})
We give a realization of the quantum affine Lie superalgebras U_q(A(M,N))^(1)
in terms of anyons defined on a one or two-dimensional lattice, the deformation
parameter q being related to the statistical parameter of the anyons by q
= exp(i\pi\nu). The construction uses anyons contructed from usual fermionic
oscillators and deformed bosonic oscillators. As a byproduct, realization
deformed in any sector of the quantum superalgebras U_q(A(M,N)) is obtained.Comment: 14p LaTeX Document (should be run twice
Stressed caregivers. An observational study in a rehabilitation care home in western Sicily
Introduction: Caregiver is the person who takes care of the patient from the practical point of view, helping him in managing the disease and carrying out daily activities, but also supporting him on an emotional level. Caregiver burnout is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion that may be accompanied by a change in attitude from positive and caring to negative and unconcerned. The aim of the study was to understand what factors were associated with having panic attacks or crying crises in the caregivers of our study population. Materials and methods: The study design is observational. An anonymous questionnaire was administered to caregivers of the patients of a hospital for the intensive post-acute rehabilitation from April 2016 to December 2018. The statistical significance level chosen for the entire analysis was 0.05. The covariates to be included were selected using a stepwise backward selection process, with a univariate p-value <0.25 as the main criterion. Results are expressed as adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR) with 95% Confidence Intervals (CI). Results: The sample consists of 302 caregivers (60.93% was females and 39.07% was males). The mean age of the sample is 53.42 years old (SD ± 12.19). The multivariable logistic regression model shows that the risk to have panic or crying crisis is significantly associated with the following indipendent variables: female gender (aOR 27.06); living with the patient (aOR 4.38); had claimed that the problems related to the illness of their family member is a source of stress (aOR 23.54), smoking cigarettes (aOR 14.68); had claimed that taking care of their client affected their personal financial statement/career (aOR 5.95), having free time (aOR 7.68). Conclusions: In our study we found a greater probability of having panic attacks or crying crises in female subjects, smokers, who think they have sacrificed their careers to take care of the person they follow from a welfare point of view. Certainly in the light of what has emerged it is necessary to dedicate and pay close attention to the psychological and social aspects of the caregiver
The twisted open string partition function and Yukawa couplings
We use the operator formalism to derive the bosonic contribution to the
twisted open string partition function in toroidal compactifications. This
amplitude describes, for instance, the planar interaction between g+1
magnetized or intersecting D-branes. We write the result both in the closed and
in the open string channel in terms of Prym differentials on the appropriate
Riemann surface. Then we focus on the g=2 case for a 2-torus. By factorizing
the twisted partition function in the open string channel we obtain an explicit
expression for the 3-twist field correlator, which is the main ingredient in
the computation of Yukawa couplings in D-brane phenomenological models. This
provides an alternative method for computing these couplings that does not rely
on the stress-energy tensor technique.Comment: 32 pages, 5 figures, Latex; v2: typos correcte
