Descending Chains of Modules and Jordan–Hölder Theorem

It is clear that there is a relation between the notion of unique factorization domain (a commutative domain in which every non-zero non-invertible element is a product of irreducible elements, and if a1a2 . . . an = a1a ′ 2 . . . a ′ m are any two such factorizations, then n = m and there exists a permutation σ such that ai and aσ(i) are associates for every i = 1, 2, . . . , n), the Krull-Schmidt Theorem (every module of finite length is a direct sum of indecomposable modules, and if A1⊕A2⊕· · ·⊕An = A1⊕A2⊕· · ·⊕Am are any two such decompositions, then n = m and there exists a permutation σ such that Ai ∼= Aσ(i) for every i = 1, 2, . . . , n), and the Jordan-Holder Theorem (every module A of finite length has a composition series, and if A = A0 ≥ A1 ≥ · · · ≥ An = 0 and A = A0 ≥ A1 ≥ · · · ≥ Am = 0 are any two composition series, then n = m and there exists a permutation σ such that Ai−1/Ai ∼= Aσ(i)−1/Aσ(i) for every i = 1, 2, . . . , n). The relation between these three contexts is that what we state is equivalent to saying that some commutative monoid is free in all these three cases. An integral domain R is a unique factorization domain if and only if the commutative monoid R∗/U(R) is free, where we have denoted by R∗ the multiplicative monoid R \ {0} and by U(R) the group of invertible elements of R. In this case, a free set of generators of R∗/U(R) is ∗Partially supported by Ministero dell’Universita e della Ricerca Scientifica e Tecnologica (Progetto di ricerca di rilevante interesse nazionale “Nuove prospettive nella teoria degli anelli, dei moduli e dei gruppi abeliani”), Italy.

Regulated expression and subcellular localization of HMGB1, a chromatin protein with a cytokine function.

High mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1) has been considered as a ubiquitous nuclear protein with an architectural function, but even early reports have described its presence outside of the nucleus. Today, we have only started to understand the extranuclear and extracellular functions of HMGB1: we know that it participates in developmental and differentiation processes, triggers and modulates many of the inflammatory cascades in the body, and may even be involved in the metastatic invasion programme of cancer cells. Given such diverse roles, it is important to know which cells express HMGB1, where, and how much. The present review deals with the expression pattern of HMGB1 and provides evidence that, far from being housekeeping, the HMGB1 gene is tightly regulated. This can have implications for therapeutic intervention on inflammatory diseases as well as cancer.

Notes on the Rate of Industrial Growth in Italy, 1861–1913

This article reconsiders industrial growth in post-Unification Italy in light of a new set of sector-specific production estimates. Though still in part provisional, the new series confirm that the production of durables (and related materials) was dominated by the Kuznets cycle. A similar cycle is documented in the growth rate of the residual, excluding foodstuffs, and extended by reasonable assumption to foodstuffs as well. The new series thus support the traditional view of the 1880s as a period of widespread prosperity and above-trend consumption rather than the opposite, now dominant view.This article presents the first comprehensive results of a long-term research project that owes much to the constant encouragement of Pierluigi Ciocca and Gianni Toniolo, to extended exchanges with Giovanni Federico, to the kindness of the librarians at the Bank of Italy and the Istituto centrale di statistica, and not least, for their financial support, to the Ente per gli studi monetari, bancari e finanziari “Luigi Einaudi,” the National Science Foundation, the Guggenheim Foundation, and the Ministero dell'Universita e della Ricerca Scientifica e Tecnologica.

Democracy and Fascism: Class, Civil Society, and Rational Choice in Italy

The origins of fascism remain a major concern to social scientists. Because fascism emerged in societies seeking transitions to democracy, a better understanding of these failed attempts at democratic transitions improves our understanding of both democracy's possibilities and the strengths and weakness of democratic theory. Indeed, theoretical arguments employed to explain fascism have their analogues in theories of democracy. Three arguments have been advanced to explain both democracy and fascism: class, civil society, and rational choice. This research examines the rise of fascism in Italy, 1919–21. The evidence contradicts the class theory of fascism and offers mixed evidence for the civil society theory, while supporting the rational choice theory. Fascism will always be a minority movement. It cannot move beyond the cities.Mussolini (1919)This paper is developed from research sponsored by the National Science Foundation under Grant SBR-94-2281.

STACKED BASES FOR HOMOGENEOUS COMPLETELY DECOMPOSABLE GROUPS

Generalizing a theorem by P. Hill and C. Megibben, fixing a rational group R, we characterize by numerical invariants R-presentations of a group G, namely, short exact sequences of the form 0 → A → X → G → 0, where A and X are homogeneous completely decomposable groups of the same type R. This characterization sets afloat the class of the “uniquely R-presented groups”. This class is investigated in connection with the extension to arbitrary groups of the Warfield equivalence between categories of torsionfree abelian groups induced by the functors Hom(R, –) and R ⊗ −. As an application, the stacked bases theorem proved by J. Cohen and H. Gluck in 1970 is extended to arbitrary pairs of homogeneous completely decomposable abelian groups of the same type. *Supported by Ministero dell‘Universita’ e della Ricerca Scientifica e Tecnologica (COFIN ‘98). †Supported by the Graduiertenkolleg Theoretische und Experimentelle Methoden der Reinen Mathematik of Essen University.

KRULL-SCHMIDT THEOREM AND HOMOGENEOUS SEMILOCAL RINGS

The aim of this paper is to study the modules M with a finite direct sum decomposition M = M 1 ⊕ … ⊕ Mn such that all the endomorphism rings End(Mi ) are homogeneous semilocal. In particular, we find complete results about the uniqueness of such decompositions (Krull-Schmidt Theorem). *Partially supported by Ministero dell'Università e della Ricerca Scientifica e Tecnologica (Italy) through the project “Teoria degli anelli, moduli e gruppi abeliani: metodi omologici, topologici e categoriali.”

Selectors and scattered spaces☆☆Work supported by the research project “Analisi Reale” of the Italian Ministero dell'Università e della Ricerca Scientifica e Tecnologica. The fourth author was also partially supported by the grant GA ČR 201/97/0216.

Selectors on F (X) are studied. Non-Archimedean P -spaces with a continuous selector are shown to be precisely scattered spaces (or topologically well-orderable ones). Several results are given for spaces with a unique accumulation point p ; e.g., if the filter of its neighborhoods (without p ) is a sum two free ultrafilters then the existence of a continuous selector for all such spaces is equivalent to the non-existence of a measurable cardinal.

Risk factors for hypertension in obese women. The role of weight cycling.

To study significant factors associated with the risk of hypertension among obese women, with and without a history of weight cycling (WC). Case-control study. Obesity Clinic of Chieti University, Italy. A group of 258 obese women aged 25-64 y (103 cases with hypertension and 155 controls) were recruited. All obese subjects had the same clinical characteristics, were without a family history for hypertension, were non-smokers, had normal lipidemic profiles and normal glucose tolerance, were not taking any medication and were otherwise healthy. In the weight cycling women, the history of WC was established on the basis of at least five weight losses in the previous 5 y due to dieting, with a weight loss of at least 4.5 kg per cycle. A logistic regression model adjusted for confounding variables such as waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and weight cycling history parameters was used and the odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals was calculated. The risk of hypertension increases in subjects with larger WHR (OR 7.8; 95% CI 3.4-17.9) and with a positive history for WC (OR 4.1; 95% CI 2.4-6.9). Further, in obese patients with WC, the weight cycling index and the sum of the weight regained are also important risk factors for hypertension. These findings could support the hypothesis that it is the combined exposure of central-type obesity and WC that strongly raises the risk of hypertension. This work has been financially supported by a grant of Ministero dell'Università e della Ricerca Scientifica e Tecnologica.

Results from the Italian participation in the International Co-operative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Acidification of Rivers and Lakes (ICP Waters)

This paper describes the research activity carried out by the Istituto Italiano di Idrobiologia of the CNR, on behalf of the Ministero dell'Ambiente, Servizio Inquinamento Atmosferico e Acustico, in the context of the Italian participation in the International Cooperative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Acidification of Rivers and Lakes (ICP Waters). Atmospheric deposition chemistry shows that nitrate increased and sulphate decreased in the 70's and 80's, while acidity started to decrease in the early 90's. The studied rivers and lakes show variations in sulphate and nitrate in agreement with those of atmospheric deposition. Alkalinity is mainly determined by watershed geo-lithology and is always present in the studied lakes and streams; the lowest values of 0-10 μeq l-1 are measured in the high altitude Lake Paione Superiore, which however shows an increasing trend of alkalinity and pH.

I Thought I Would Have Some Happy Days: Women Eloping In Eighteenth-Century China

I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE SOME HAPPY DAYS: WOMEN ELOPING IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY CHINA* Paola Paderni The family, and gender relationships in particular, are important recurring themes in the literature of the Qing period. Actively supported by the state, Neo-Confucianism was fundamentally based on the Three Bonds: sovereign-subject, father-son, and husband-wife, which, along with the older brother-younger brother and friend-friend relationships, formed the Five Relationships . Of these five, the father-son and husband-wife bonds were the main axes of the family system. These unequal relationships based on gender and age were essential to Qing society, providing the cultural basis for the sovereign-subject bond from which the state derived its power. In the eighteenth-century, Chinese society was becoming increasingly mobile . Social boundaries were more blurred and less dependent on personal dependency bonds. These hierarchical principles were therefore necessary in order to legitimate differences and inequalities found in society, as well as in the family. The husband-wife relationship served this general function better than the others because it was seen as biologically determined, and hence both natural and inevitable. It could not be questioned through an act of rebellion, as in the case of the sovereign-subject bond, nor did it make allowance for role changes, as in the case of the father-son bond.1 The importance attributed to this bond explains why contemporary literature on the family placed so much stress on keeping women under control. Women were, after all, presented as the major source of family conflicts, embodying the destructive force of the libido. The authors of "household instructions" (jiaxun) insisted on the importance of keeping women confined to their quarters, sep- *This research was funded by the Italian Ministero dell 'Universita e della Ricerca Scientifica.

Sexual anxiety underlay these precepts, which were justified as necessary for the preservation of family morals.2 Throughout the centuries the Confucian model has pervaded the entire Chinese culture, and, as anthropologist Barbara Ward has argued, family themes in particular have played a central role in the formation of a unitary Chinese identity.3 The Qing Code (Da Qing liili), like the codes of former dynasties , reinforced and codified social hierarchies by differentiating penalties according to the wrongdoer's position within the family and, more generally, his or her social status. What the Qing state considered as a crime was any act that appeared to question its authority or the existing social order. The Qing legal code dedicated an entire section to marriage. Ideologically, marriage served the state and society by guaranteeing patrilineal descent, creating alliances between families, and differentiating social roles according to gender.4 Marriage in China, as in fact in all patriarchal societies, entailed an agreement between two families; what mattered was not the individual's future but the advantages the families could derive from the marriage, whether it be wealth, prestige, or simply support. Any act that went counter to this principle was considered to be dangerously deviant behavior. To run away from one's husband or father was a crime, because it challenged the family, the institution on which the state based its power. Such deviant behavior is the subject of this essay. If human behavior is more than a simple application of the rules and norms established by the system, our task is to investigate how, in everyday practices, given values were adapted, modified, and circumvented through strategies that were influenced by extraneous factors. Our aim is to shed light on a world that was clearly variegated, impassioned, violent, and "quite deviant from the harmonious Confucian family model."5 These deviations did not necessarily constitute a deliberate challenge to established norms...

Dynamically variable electronic delays for ultrasound imaging

A novel programmable delay line system (Patent 67595- A 89 from the Ministero dell'Università e della Ricerca Scientifica e Tecnologica, Italy) for electronic control of delay profile in ultrasound real-time imaging systems is described. The line consists of a number of LC filters. The capacitance is obtained by using varicap diodes, so that electronic control over the desired depth is obtained by changing the diode inverse polarization voltage. This delay line exhibits a dramatic simplification and a broader time delay excursion than alternative techniques. Based on computer simulations, a delay line system was designed and integrated into an annular transducer-based echographic apparatus.

FASCIST Italy has been quick to recognise that in its fisheries, no less than in any other branch of the nation's commerce, future progress depends upon the efficiency with which the industry is conducted. As an initial step towards rationalisation, therefore, an exhaustive survey of the fisheries situation in all its phases has been under-taken, in which no relevant subject appears to have been overlooked. Testimony to the thoroughness of this official ‘stock-taking’ is provided by these three remarkable volumes recently issued by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the government department responsible for the administration of the fisheries. It is impossible here to give more than a bare indication of the contents of the three volumes, which comprise nearly 1500 pages of text, accompanied by a wealth of photographs, diagrams, charts, and plates, both coloured and uncoloured.
