Acute pancreatitis is a common disease that can progress to gland necrosis (necrotizing pancreatitis [NP]). NP imposes significant risk of morbidity, mortality, and substantial healthcare costs, especially when infected (infected pancreatic necrosis [IPN)]. A preemptive approach with early IPN recognition is suggested to improve patient outcomes. However, existing diagnostic tools fail to distinguish IPN from sterile NP early in the disease course. Furthermore, related studies on potential serum markers lack sufficient methods of assessment. The aim of this project is to develop a simple, reliable, and cost-effective biomarker panel for accelerated and improved decision-making, validated on real patient results. First, we use information theory and machine learning to select the best-performing combination of available serum cytokines for detecting IPN. The accuracy and prediction abilities of the biomarker panel are then verified in an independent cohort using the standardized prospective specimen collection, retrospective blinded evaluation study design for pivotal evaluation of biomarkers. Finally, the net benefit to patients and costs by incorporating effects of clinical decisions based on the panel is assessed through a multicenter randomized controlled trial. The project creates a critical step in the improvement of care and clinical management in millions of patients worldwide. Moreover, the systematic phased approach facilitates open science and reproducibility. As the panel moves from research to application, it offers potential for commercial exploitation. In the longer term, if clinically validated, the test can be adopted by the larger clinical community for further research and more personalized care.

How maximize hydrogen (H2) blending potential in natural gas (NG) networks, supporting European energy system decarbonisation? The answer lies in the need of a systemic, multi-disciplinary approach to make NG infrastructure resilient to the challenges of tomorrow. Industrial and research players’ competences are required. In this framework, THOTH2 consortium focuses on energy measurement value chain and instruments’ ability to accurately measure physical parameters of H2NG mixtures with increasing H2 percentages, up to 100%. Including gas TSOs, DSOs, metrological and research institutes and academia, THOTH2 consortium has all competences and skills to reach the goals of i) define standards to evaluate the metrological performances of measuring devices at different H2 blending rates (up to 100%), ii) verify safety and durability of the same devices, and iii) suggest future needs to overcome the observed barriers and limitations. SNAM competences in managing NG assets are essential for the coordination and synergic integration of the 14 partners, recognized as experts in NG and H2 industry (GRTGAZ, GAZ-SYSTEM, Enagás, INRETE), metrology (CESAME, INRIM, METAS), H2 blending technologies and measuring devices design, engineering, and R&D activities (UNIBO, INIG, FBK, ENEA, CSIRO). The communication and dissemination strategy by GERG will give visibility to project’s results, including contributions to Mission Innovation 2.0 and EURAMET projects. THOTH2 vision will lead to an acceleration towards H2 economy, contributing to REPowerEU and NextGeneration EU objectives. The project impact potential includes the establishment of a R&D Hub center, including THOTH2 partners and Advisory Board members, to translate into valuable results achieved by the project, aiming to i) the development/update of international standards, ii) foster innovation in the field of H2NG blending measuring devices, and iii) supporting H2 value chain development leveraging on the EU gas infrastructure

For reliable and affordable design and operation of wind power plants that also consider system-level stability and security as well as the surrounding natural and social environment, coordinated wind farm control (WFC) and asset management solutions play an important role. Additionally, given the urgency of growth implied by ambitious decarbonisation targets, artificial intelligence (AI) and other digitalisation concepts are major accelerators of the energy transition and a key enabler for integrating the processes and prospects of WFC technology into the operation and design of the future energy systems. To support wind farm owners/operators to make better decisions for system-wide optimised performance, TWAIN’s concept pivots on a full-integration of WFC at five different levels: 1) integration of multi-source and multi-format data of varied nature from wind farms in different life stages; 2) AI-enabled integration of multi-disciplinary processes and phenomena affecting the wind farm operation; 3) integration of multi-objective prospects of WFC to assess the true added value of a certain operation mode; 4) integration of multi-level controllers and scenario analyses in decision support provision for harmonious co-existence of WPPs with their environment and society via optimised operation and design; and 5) integration of wider audience to TWAIN outcomes. TWAIN decision support environment is a digital environment architected for multi-source data integration and optimised computing, which contains a set of toolboxes with the critical analytical steps to operate a wind farm effective and efficiently. It is oriented to wind power asset management by WF owners/operators, considering as asset the WT and its components within a WF.

During the past two decades, millions of euros have been spent by national governments and international organisations on combatting human trafficking and on offering assistance to victims of trafficking. However, we know surprisingly little about the people who facilitate, manage and orchestrate human trafficking: the traffickers. But who are the human traffickers, if we look beyond the stereotypes? The TRAFFICKER project will answer this question and fill this knowledge-lacuna, by ethnographically investigating the business operations and social relationships of human traffickers, via the analytical concept of ‘social circuits’. The project is based on ethnographic fieldwork in two sites, in respectively one country of origin and one destination country of the traffickers: (a) the city of Galati in Eastern Romania, and (b) in prisons in Lisbon, Portugal, among inmates that are incarcerated for human trafficking. The TRAFFICKER project builds on my extensive research and fieldwork experience within the fields of transnational crime, third-party facilitation/pimping and sex work. This background is essential to the project, since it provides access to the necessary local networks, as well as providing the needed methodological knowledge and ethical awareness. The project illuminates: 1) How human trafficking is carried out by traffickers on the ground, and thus how national criminal networks make their illegal business transnational. 2) The ways in which the kinships relations and social relationships of human traffickers hinder or enable their transnational criminal livelihood. 3) The lives of human traffickers both during and after imprisonment and their navigation of legal and illegal work domains. This knowledge will not only be beneficial for the academic research community on transnational, organised crime, but also for stakeholders such as NGOs, policy makers, international organisations, governments and law enforcement, as well as for the wider public.

Plausible deniability (PD) can be used strategically to convey content without dealing with the repercussions of asserting it explicitly. For instance, one might say “I admire your courage for wearing this dress” to convey an insult without incurring the social costs of explicit aggression. PD underlies such important phenomena as politeness, covert threats, political dog whistles, and flirting. Despite this, PD is understudied and as of yet imperfectly understood. Arguably, PD cannot be reduced to the mere probability of the relevant interpretation. Rather, it also relies on subtle social structures, such as power dynamics, attribution of responsibility and commitment, and their interactions with the linguistic expression of content. This makes PD an extremely complex and fascinating phenomenon from the point of view of linguistics, philosophy of language and, more generally, the cognitive and social sciences. The PlauDe (Plausible Deniability) project aims to develop a unified account of PD that untangles its conceptual components and unifies its various guises under one theoretical umbrella. PlauDe will develop a formal computational model of PD to achieve a high degree of clarity and precision and generate quantitative empirical predictions that will be tested experimentally. The model will improve over previous accounts by analyzing PD as a compromise between conveying content to another language user and avoiding judgment by a judge or bystander, be it concrete or imagined. This model will be used to systematically analyze real-world cases of manipulative language use with the aim of disseminating the judge-based account, which is not only a technical innovation but will also form the basis for a non-technical explanation of the phenomenon, resulting in a workshop to help entities vulnerable to PD-based linguistic strategies.

Our heart beats, our lungs expand, our stomach contracts. Our body is filled with different rhythms that our brain is continuously listening to. Recently it has become clear just how important this connection between the internal organs (viscera) and our brain is, impacting the actions we take, the way we feel and shaping our conscious experiences. But is our brain capable of ‘tuning in to’ one of these rhythms, like changing the channel on a radio, under different circumstances? And is there a benefit to be able to flip the channel or even changing the volume? As it becomes more evident how viscera-brain coupling strongly impacts our mental health, this fundamental knowledge is key for developing novel interoceptive treatments. In INTERSTATE, I will test how viscera-brain coupling can dynamically change across three different domains: action, emotion, and self-consciousness. The project capitalizes on the strength of combining different neuroimaging techniques: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Magnetoencephalography (MEG) combined with Electroencephalography (EEG), together with recordings of the rhythms of the heart, lungs, and stomach. Across two experiments I will quantify how strongly the brain is tuned in to the signals from these three organs and examine whether this coupling changes when participants are preparing to make a movement, are experiencing an affective state, or are reflecting about themselves or someone else. These findings will be linked to individually determined levels of anxiety and depression symptoms, to explore whether dynamic viscera-brain coupling is associated to variations in well-being. This will open future pathways where interventions can target specific states and organs to alleviate mental health suffering. INTERSTATE will be carried out at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Brain Research at the University of Jyväskylä, providing state-of-the-art neuroimaging facilities and the ideal multi-disciplinary environment.

Europe aims to reach climate neutrality and a circular economy by 2050. Current practices to treat industrial wastewater by large are not designed for the water valorisation and reuse and, therefore, are not coherent with the European ambitions. To design the wastewater treatment systems compatible with the requirements of circular economy, CORNERSTONE aims at integrating novel technological and digital developments into the existing industrial wastewater treatment systems for recovery and recycling of freshwater, energy and solutes. The project introduces innovative principles and practices at the component level and rationally integrates the developed components to recover valuables and freshwater from industrial wastewater. To achieve its objective, CORNERSTONE puts together a multidisciplinary 16-partner consortium from 8 European member states, consisting of large enterprises, academia, and research & technology organisations. The project targets steel, pulp and paper and chemical industries as the end users due to their importance in realizing the objectives of P4Planet in transforming European process industries to make them circular and achieve overall climate neutrality at EU level by 2050, while enhancing their global competitiveness. CORNERSTONE builds on the success of former initiatives and projects which have delivered technological, methodological and community assets that CORNERSTONE will convincingly and coherently leverage and advance to achieve its objectives. The project designs also ensures that new developments, together with digital tools can be easily deployed cross-sectorial and deliver long-lasting impacts to a sustainable European industrial water management approach.

TimeSmart project will investigate the applicability of the novel Age of Information metric in smart grid networks. While the metric has become a valuable tool for measuring the system's performance, its practical value and impact in the real-time system are left unanswered. This project seeks to remedy that by applying the metric to a system in which the timing of collected data, currently measured through jitter or latency, profoundly impacts management and control. The AoI offers a new perspective on how the system should collect and process information, as such decisions are also based on the context of processed information(their semantic nature). In turn, the new approach can offer an innovative way of improving the efficiency of renewable electrical energy supply and electrical loads by taking advantage of the available edge infrastructure. This project aims to adopt the AoI metric in smart grid networks to improve the energy transmission efficiency, achievable through more timely collected information, to save energy. The proposed research will be conducted by dr. Jernej Hribar and supervised by prof. Mihael Mohorčič, and dr. Carolina Fortuna from Institut Jožef Stefan. The applicant will also undertake a non-academic placement at ComSensus under the supervision of dr. Andrej Čampa.
