Romances of chivalry are one of the most representative literary genres of Spanish Golden Age, which gained great popularity in XVI century. In the last few years, critical studies have stressed the importance of the uniformity of this corpus, which includes many imitations, sequels, and prequels resuming the threads of the narration where they were dropped. The main consequence is that the genre involves a great deal of stereotyping of the same situations, contexts, even episodes, which became common motifs and recognizable formulas for the readers. The fictitious biography of a knight-errant, a Christian prince who establishes his heroic credentials, finding love and power, is only the basic thread of a structure which presents a reiterative pattern where themes and motifs are usually combined in the same fashion. A motif is the smallest narrative unit of a tale, that shows persistence in the tradition, where it survived with a specific identity, and can be included in different contexts; it is a recurrent unit with a fixed narrative or descriptive content; generally, it concerns a specific episode or accident: the main action is consistent in every manifestation of the motif, but details can (and do) change. The main focus of this proposal is the analysis and categorisation of comic motifs (jokes and pranks) in the corpus of chivalric novels, starting from its most famous cycles. The research is also meant to study poetic and literary treatises of XVI-XVII centuries, to develop a reflection on the value, function and meaning of comic expression at the time. The comic elements of the genre will be then compared to the parody of the romances of chivalry realised by Cervantes in Don Quixote. This research will consolidate the general paradigm of the genre, studying its morphology; the concept of motif will be used as the interpretative key to approach both the formal aspect of the genre and its ideological background.

The stratosphere is the highest layer in the atmosphere where aircraft can still fly. Nevertheless, it is presently rarely exploited for commercial aviation. As Europe’s Vision for Aviation predicts globally a six-fold increase in passenger by 2050, flight levels above the troposphere become attractive and maybe the only way to realize this. While the lower stratosphere could still be reachable for classical aircraft, the higher altitudes would demand for higher speeds. Various technologies, systems and novel aircraft concepts related to high-speed transport have progressed rapidly over the last 20 years showing their technical feasibility and readiness up to TRL-3. Technology roadmaps elaborated by industrial and research teams indicated their readiness-level can easily be brought up to TRL-6 by 2035 provided the related application can be shown to be commercially exploitable. The first project goal covers the multi-functional integration of propulsion, aerodynamics, airframes and on-board systems across various disciplines to define and detail a high-speed aircraft configuration enabling long-haul travels. However, Europe should have simultaneously a directive which flight altitudes are environmentally sustainable on the basis of fuel type and emission rates. This parametric mapping of the stratospheric climate impact covers the second goal of the project. Last but not least, the potential of stratospheric flight relies also on economic viability. Apart from potential routes, aircraft capacity and performance, development and exploitation costs… the third goal will also consider human factors, social acceptance, implementation and noise issues. The present proposal will, contrary to regular viability studies, perform a bottom-up approach. The validity will follow a sound technical and scientific approach and shall demonstrate environmental and economic compatibility. This enables then a formulation of regulatory, technological and socio-economic barriers.

The goal of this innovative, inter-disciplinary project is to explain the role of mineral dust during key climate periods through its feedbacks on the global carbon cycle and climate. Mineral (desert) dust is a major component of the natural aerosol load globally. It impacts the climate system directly by interacting with solar and terrestrial radiation, and indirectly impacts clouds, surface albedo, and biogeochemical cycles. Paleodust records from land, ice and oceans show significant variability, both in the alternation of glacial/interglacial cycles, and on shorter time scales, with potential impacts on climate change in the 21st century. The state-of-the-art IPSL-CM5 Earth System Model will be our main research tool, with simulations grounded in an extensive compilation of observational data, constraining the mass balance as well as the physical and compositional properties of dust. Mentoring from supervisors will provide fertile grounds for training the candidate through mobility, ensuring both the realization of this project and his career development. The consistent organization of size- and time-resolved dust mass accumulation rates data since the last interglacial period (130 ka) into an innovative database, will provide a research tool fulfilling an emerging necessity in the climate scientific community, that will be freely shared/disseminated. An integrated observation-modelling approach will allow reconstructing the dust cycle for the Last Glacial Maximum period$. The expected output of the project will fill a gap in the quantitative understanding of the global dust cycle, studying its impacts in the future with direct impacts on reducing the uncertainty in aerosol feedbacks on climate. Therefore, it fits the goals of the key Horizon 2020 Environment & Climate Action: “Developing climate modelling and science for climate services to help provide trustworthy science-based information to government, public and private decisiion-makers".

The project will examine the impact of the system of penality developed in the Soviet gulag on the ethnic identification and political radicalisation of prisoners in the Soviet Union and the communist successor states of Europe today. It is informed by the proposition that prisons are sites of ethnic identity construction but that the processes involved vary within and between states. In the project, the focus is on the extent to which particular "prison-styles" affect the social relationships, self-identification and political association of ethnic minority prisoners. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the communist successor states all set about reforming their prison systems to bring them into line with international and European norms. However, all to a lesser or greater extent still have legacies of the system gestated in the Soviet Gulag and exported to East-Central-Europe after WWII. These may include the internal organisation of penal space, a collectivist approach to prisoner management, penal labour and, as in Russian case, a geographical distribution of the penal estate that results in prisoners being sent excessively long distances to serve their sentences. It is the how these legacies, interacting with other forces (including official and popular discourses, formal policy and individual life-histories) transform, confirm, and suppress the ethnic identification of prisoners that the project seeks to excavate. It will use a mixed method approach to answer research questions, including interviews with ex-prisoners and prisoners' families, the use of archival and documentary sources and social media. The research will use case studies to analyze the experiences of ethnic minority prisoners over time and through space. These provisionally will be Chechens, Tartars, Ukrainians, Estonians, migrant Uzbek and Tadjik workers and Roma and the country case studies are the Russian Federation, Georgia and Romania.

Mitochondria and chloroplasts are essential organelles that carry out the fundamental cellular process of respiration and photosynthesis, respectively. Organelles possess their own genomes that are physically separated from the nuclear genes, and mutations in their genome lead to serious consequences on organismal homeostasis and viability e.g. flower sterility in plants and mitochondrial myopathies in humans. However, contrary to the nucleus, methods for the genetic engineering of organellar genomes in multicellular organisms are either lacking or too laborious to be widely applied. Thus, there is a need for the development of such tools. To address this issue, I will exploit nature’s design and engineer the largest protein family of organelle gene regulators found in eukaryotes, the pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) family. PPR proteins are nuclear encoded RNA-binding proteins that function in the posttranscriptional regulation of organellar gene expression. The PPR RNA-binding domain is composed of multiple repeats of 35 amino acid long stretches. Each repeat recognizes a single base in the target RNA sequence whose identity is defined by a code involving 2 amino acids in each repeat and we can now design artificial PPR repeat proteins with programmable RNA binding specificity. The PPRdesign project will establish new methods for the site-specific control of organellar genes in the Arabidopsis model plant by targeting customized synthetic PPR repeats to specific RNA sites in chloroplasts and mitochondria.

Focusing on how images and words have characterized what medicinal efficacy historically and epistemically denotes, this project asks the question: How have cultural representations been mobilized to imply a relation between nature, healthiness and scientific knowledge? Even if ideas about medicines and media formats have changed over time, references to nature and alternative sources of knowledge have been recurrent themes since the onset of medical advertisement in the 17th century. The historical development of modern media in Western Europe has closely been followed by the historical evolution of visual and linguistic strategies to promote consumables that make claims about medicinal efficacy. Ever since, newspapers, books, magazines, films, television and internet websites have been used to circulate visuals that convey ideas about medicinal efficacy at a cultural and epistemic level. Today, more than ever, it matters to chart how images and texts have historically emerged and operated as venues to present information, frame a diversity of scientific knowledge(s) or conceal alternative facts on the grounds that they are appealing and convincing. Progressively, cultural representations have become points of dissemination of ideas, attitudes and assumptions about the natural world. Samples of visual artefacts where cultural references have been and are deployed to imply a connection between nature, medicines and health-enhancing consumables have included herbal remedies, psychoactive drugs, nutraceuticals (i.e. health-improving nutritional components), supplements and cosmeceuticals (i.e. cosmetic products portrayed to have medicinal benefits). Considering that it is unavoidable to be exposed to visual and textual stimuli, the overarching aim is to develop a framework that analyses how images and words have been used to establish a connection between naturality, medicinal efficacy and health-related knowledge(s) since the advent of mass media in Western Europe.

The GN4 Phase 3 Network (GN4-3N) proposal for part b of the third Specific Grant Agreement (SGA3(b) is made in response to the H2020-SGA-INFRA-GEANT-2018 (Topic [b] Research and Education Networking) call, received 17 October 2018, under the 68-month Framework Partnership Agreement (FPA) established between the GÉANT Consortium and the European Commission in April 2015. It is proposed to last 48 months to implement, as the call requests, a very ambitious restructuring of the backbone network operated by GÉANT in order to provide equal access to clouds and other e-infrastructure services in the European research area and beyond. It will improve the overall resilience and reliability of the GÉANT network significantly and offer a base for future improvements in access, transmission speeds and capacity wherever needed. The outcome of GN4-3N project will offer uniform network access and choice of services to many more partners, eliminating the "digital divide" wherever technically and economically feasible. This project proposal is based on technical and economic studies carried out during 2017-2018 in the GN4-2 project which have given the Consortium clarity on the resourcing, financial and effort, needed to realise the huge ambition of this undertaking. It exclusively covers the engineering, procurement, acquisition and installation of the new backbone network. The day-to-day network operations as the elements of it is commissioned is the responsibility of the teams described in accompanying the GN4-3 project. The GN4-3 and GN4-3N proposals are intimately connected through common teams and the technical, management and procurement expertise built-up over previous GN projects. This is what makes this ambitious proposal realistic. GN4-3N and GN4-3 have simply had to be proposed as distinct projects, due to the different funding model (with no depreciation) to be used in GN4-3N project.

The need for European airports to become more operationally efficient is fundamental as Airport Council International forecasts that passenger numbers across the continent will rise an average of 3.3% per annum to reach 3.9 billion by 2036. PJ04-W2 will develop concepts, tools and procedures to increase the predictability and resilience of airport operations, improving the punctuality of flights in a safe and environmentally sustainable manner. The aim will be to improve airport/network integration for large and medium/regional airports, improve airport airside/landside integration, reduce the impact of MET aspects on airport operations, make further investigations about how environmental aspects could be monitored and managed in day-to-day airport operations. This will be achieved through increasing the coordination between Airport and the Network, validating the concept of regional connected airports. On the airport side, the project will have a focus on the airport hypervision concept, and how airport operations could be better predicted with anticipated impact, managed in a pro-active way and synchronised in various situations. This includes the development of performance and role-based dashboards as well as what-if, prediction and impact assessment tools. Here data-driven airport operations management and digital technologies are required enablers, as connected, data-based, intelligent toolboxes supporting all airport stakeholders must be developed. To ensure that full benefits are achieved and that the expected performance improvements are realised in the context of overall ATM Network, close coordination will take place with other projects, particularly those addressing network management, airport airside and runway throughput, enhanced arrivals and departures as well as the overall integration within the programme.
