Earth's atmosphere, whose ionization stability plays a fundamental role for the evolution and endurance of life, is exposed to the effect of cosmic explosions producing high energy Gamma-ray-bursts. Being able to abruptly increase the atmospheric ionization, they might deplete stratospheric ozone on a global scale. During the last decades, an average of more than one Gamma-ray-burst per day were recorded.

Methods: The study was conducted according to the CHERRIES (Checklist for reporting results of internet E-surveys) guidelines in order to provide quantitative and qualitative data about experience of patients with disabilities and their caregivers during Phase 1 of the COVID-19 pandemic, and their level of satisfaction. An online survey was developed using Google Forms and sent via email.
Domain Knowledge Alleviates Adversarial Attacks in Multi-Label Classifiers.
IEEE Trans Pattern Anal Mach Intell
December 2022
Article Synopsis
- The paper examines adversarial attacks and defenses in multi-label classification, highlighting how domain knowledge can help identify incoherent predictions caused by these attacks.
- By integrating first-order logic constraints into a semi-supervised learning framework, the authors demonstrate that classifiers can reject samples that don't align with the established domain knowledge.
- Their findings reveal that even without prior knowledge of specific attacks, domain constraints can effectively detect adversarial examples, suggesting a path toward more resilient multi-label classifiers.
Alcohol-Related Behaviour in Freshmen University Students in Sardinia, Italy.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
July 2021
This study aims to provide a picture of University of Cagliari students' alcohol-related behaviour and to explore factors associated with it. Data were collected by administering a questionnaire to 992 freshmen university students from different programs consisting of twelve closed questions, including three questions from the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test for Consumption (AUDIT-C short form). Three subgroups of alcohol-related behaviour were distinguished (risky drinkers, social drinkers and abstainers).
