ERIN offers a network analysis, investigating the cultural articulation of national identity in 19th-century Europe as found in the musical works of Irish poet-songwriter Thomas Moore. He created two European song series, the Irish Melodies and National Airs, of global circulation; these inspired arrangements by European composers. His epic poem Lalla Rookh inspired operas and ballets. ERIN is the first systematic study of this cultural network, and innovative in considering the temporal and spatial aspects of networking. ERIN contributes to the knowledge-based economy and society through accessible research outputs designed to engage the European public: an online forum, a podcast, a radio show, an interactive online exhibit, a database, an edited book. ERIN's research foundation is the substantial Moore collection at host Queen's; a database of its and other's Moore holdings becomes a dataset to be mined for the remaining outputs. The researcher will establish a network between herself, Queen's and selected European libraries in the process of preparing the database and the online exhibition. The researcher acquires skills that enhance her intersectoral mobility within Europe by observing a carefully-chosen training programme at Queen's that will also benefit ERIN's project outcomes. This training will also prepare her for an intended media secondment. By leading ERIN, the researcher will gain project management skills and gain valuable intersectoral contacts. Through leadership, networking, and training, the researcher will be involved in knowledge transfer. She will build on her existing experience as a contributor to several significant bibliographical and historiographical projects; the MSC fellowship will enable her to assume a position of leadership in the scholarly community (or in the media) while enhancing her creativity. Queen's enjoys "HR Excellence in Research Status" and offers the researcher a stimulating interdisciplinary research environment.

Modern societies need building infrastructure that is designed and maintained according to high sustainability and resilience standards. Sustainability in construction can be realized with demountable (easy to deconstruct) structures that enable change of the building geometry (adaptability) and reuse of materials and structural members at the end of the building life. Resilience can be realized with structures that can be easily repaired, if damaged, so that building service can be restored within an acceptable short, if not immediate, time after extreme loading conditions. Moreover, the need to design structures against multiple natural (e.g. earthquakes) and man-made (e.g. bomb blast) hazards has been recognized. The goal of the project is to address the aforementioned urgent societal needs by developing a novel steel concentric braced frame (CBF) that can, for the first time, simultaneously achieve the following overall objectives: (a) Sustainability in construction, (b) Enhanced progressive collapse resistance and reparability against a sudden loss of column due to bomb blast; and (c) Easy inspection and repair of damage to allow rapid return to building use and occupation after strong earthquakes.

Information processing in the human brain depends on the exact timing of neuronal activity. Duty cycles, defining favorable states of activity within the phase of a neuronal oscillation, have been shown to coordinate information processing in the visual domain (Jensen & Mazaheri, 2010) and the formation of new memories (Buzsaki, 2010). While there is little doubt about the interaction between these two domains, the underlying mechanisms are as of yet unclear. The aim of the present proposal is to understand the mechanisms supporting human memory formation by investigating the joint inter-regional coordination of visual and memory-related brain regions. Recent evidence suggests that saccadic eye movements modulate hippocampal oscillations in non-human primates during memory formation (Jutras et al., 2013) and also influence the phase of visual oscillations (Ito et al., 2011; 2013). It is hypothesized that the coordination of these brain areas during information transfer can be unraveled by incorporating saccadic eye movements adjusting the phase of visual and hippocampal oscillations. In particular, it is hypothesized that neuronal oscillations following saccades are instrumental to synchronize visual cortex and hippocampus activity such that visual information is successfully encoded. Oscillatory synchronization in the 5-12 Hz theta/alpha band is expected to establish the ‘functional connectivity’ between the visuo-hippocampal regions, whereas gamma band activity (30-100 Hz), phase-locked to the theta/alpha oscillations reflects the actual information transfer (Lisman & Jensen, 2013; Jensen et al., 2014). The aim of this research plan is to test these hypotheses directly by using a combination of neuromagnetic (MEG), neuroimaging (fMRI) and behavioral (eye tracker) recordings in a memory paradigm.

Concept The Electric Systems in most European countries suffered major changes in the last decade due to the fast penetration of new technologies such as Distributed Production, Demand Management and Data Processing. The rhythm of change has been so high that created negative feedback effects that can compromise the capture of the created value. The objective of the eBrain innovation is to introduce in the market a new platform to empower consumers and distributed producers by a series of innovative services and energy contracts. These new services tackle the mentioned Electric System problems and create value both to consumers and producers but also system operators. Products In order to reach our goals a series of innovative technologies were developed by eVISO since 2012 and integrated in a single platform called eBrain that supports the offer of the following services: - Real-time Production Forecast - Real-time Market Bidding - Power Alerts and Energy Efficiency Reporting - Auto-Consumption Management - Demand-side Management & Response All these services are included in Energy Contracts bundled into eVISO’s energy retailer offer. Clients 1. Distributed Renewables 2. Consumer Looking for Empowerment (SMEs) Feasibility Since the bases of the technology have already been developed and preliminary client-tests have been made, the project is at the stage of pre-launch to the market. In the feasibility stage we will focus on: 1. Commercial plan 2. Technologic feasibility 3. IP protection 4. Risk Assessment The combined output of the above studies is aBusiness Plan, which is the derivable of the stage. The timeframe for the feasibility stage is 6 months. European Dimension The case study in Italy is similar in most European Markets where distributed production and empowerment of consumers is creating stress and opportunities. Moreover, the European Energy Market ensures the technology compatibility of our tools and a simplified transition.

Modern humans have colonized every possible ecological niche, with the latest expansions being those into the remote islands of the South Pacific. This success has been underpinned both by genetic adaptations to new ecological conditions and by an ever-accumulating store of technological and cultural knowledge gained through social learning. Our dual inheritance systems of genetics and culture interact in unique and unexpected ways, making human history vastly more difficult to infer than for any other species. The emerging field of gene-culture coevolution promises to provide a cohesive framework for modeling the interplay of genes and culture, and will revolutionize our understanding of human historical processes. The Waves project will build the tools necessary to establish gene-culture coevolution in the genomic-era, extending cutting-edge population genetic techniques – including spatial simulation – and allowing the natural integration of data from across genomics, archaeogenetics, archaeology and historical linguistics. We will focus on the South Pacific, a region whose past demography remains largely unresolved. While the population history of this region is relatively short it appears extremely complex, comprising not only multiple waves of colonization but also the existence of wide and ongoing interaction spheres through which both seafaring peoples and their cultures maintained long-distance connections. By generating comprehensive new ancient and present-day genome-wide datasets across Near and Remote Oceania – and analyzing them alongside historical linguistic and cultural data – the Waves project will create the first unified gene-culture coevolutionary history of the South Pacific.

In dementia at the end of life, cognitive and physical decline imply that control is typically lost. CONT-END will examine control in the context of three emerging interventions which contain a controversial element of striving for control in the process of dying with dementia: advance care planning of the end of life, use of new technology to monitor symptoms when unable to self-report, and euthanasia. To perform outstanding research, the proposed research examines control at the level of clinical practice, but also at the level of end-of-life research practice. The latter provides ample opportunities for researchers to control the research process. That is, research designs are often flexible and we will study if and how this impacts research in an emotionally charged area. I will take an empirical mixed-methods approach to study the two practices in parallel. The work is organised in three related Work Packages around three research questions. (1) In a 6-country study, I will examine if and when people with dementia, family caregivers and physicians (900 respondents) find the interventions, shown on video, acceptable. (2) A cluster-randomised 3-armed controlled trial in 279 patients and their family caregivers assesses effects of two types of advance care planning differing in level of control (detailed advance treatment orders versus goal setting and coping based) on outcomes ranging from favourable to less favourable, and whether effects differ in subgroups. Cases in which the technology is preferred or applied are observed. (3) Ethnographic fieldwork in two different end-of-life research practices and a Delphi study to synthesize CONT-END’s findings assess how researchers shape findings. This greatly improves the quality of CONT-END and provides the input to develop new methodology for improving research quality and integrity.

A new, disruptive, more economic and effective model of simultaneous translation system for the international events, consisting in a cloud based software platform that handles all operations through Internet, with built-in configuration of the related Wi-Fi networks and the possibility to use remotely connected professional interpreters chosen from a vast accredited community. The same system can also be integrated within other popular web-conferencing platforms, enabling multilanguage web meetings. ST WI-FI facilitates access and participation to live and on-line meetings & events to multilanguage audiences, removing geographic and language barriers, contributing to widespread dissemination of their contents. Existing simultaneous translation systems are based upon specific, dedicated IR (infrared) equipment, which need to be rented and installed at each event at relevant costs. ST WI-FI handles their same functionalities and workflow but uses Internet and Wi-Fi instead of IR as means of communication. Event participants listen to translations through their own mobile devices, not anymore considered as a limiting factor due to their widespread adoption. For all live-events, ST WI-FI dramatically reduces all rental, setup and management costs connected to legacy IR systems and enables further functionalities and options otherwise available through other different dedicated systems. For webbased meetings and conferences, it provides multi-language interpreting facilities currently unavailable within existing platforms. ST WI-FI will be proposed to the market as SaaS, in different subscription packages. Customers will use their own interpreters or engage them from the same platform at convenient pay-per-hour fees. ST WI-FI has been awarded with the Seal of Excellence in its precedent proposals to Horizon 2020 SME2 (evaluation result: 12,91 in June 2016, 12,68 in October 2016 and 13,25 in April 2017.

The increasing cross-border and cross-continental movement of people, goods and food, together with the global terrorism threat, have enormous potential to affect the emergence and spread of infectious diseases, including those caused by biothreat agents. Filling the need and gap in the marker for highly-portable, broadly-specific decontamination methods, Aquila BioScience has developed a novel Glyco-DeCon system. At the development stage the unique combination of sugars capturing biothreat agents was identified by using a novel microarray technology. In the Glyco-DeCon wipe, the sugars are chemically attached to the surface of a pre-treated, self-contained cellulose-based material. This approach targets natural binding sites of the biothreat agents and offers a non-toxic alternative to the harsh chemical decontamination methods. The Glyco-DeCon wipe is the safest method for biological decontamination described so far and can be used on human skin as well as the delicate surfaces of the mucosal epithelia or the human eye. Moreover, the product uses natural compounds like cotton and purified proteins reducing the environmental burden of toxic chemical approaches. The Glyco-DeCon kit is intended to become part of all first responder kits. The Glyco-DeCon wipes have already been tested in Defence accredited labs and confirmed to be effective against persistent biothreat agents, including anthrax cells and spores. Over the next six months Aquila BioScience is intending to perform field testing for the prototype developed with support of Irish Defence Forces and will discuss the most suitable formats with the end users. Moreover, a patent application is being submitted for protecting the invented technology. The team will look into business and production feasibility to indicate the best distribution partner and to introduce the product into the market within the following year. The findings will be summarized in Feasibility Report and elaborated Business Plan.

Drug addiction is a global problem; nearly 30 million illicit drug users worldwide suffer from problematic drug use. Kontigo Care AB is developing an innovative medical device – Previct Drugs - a robust, app-based, eHealth-platform for place unbound, continuous, voluntary, self-monitoring of drug use. It will constitute an add-on to Kontigo Care’s current eHealth offer developed for management of other addictive disorders (alcohol abuse and hazard gambling). Using smartphone cameras, patients suffering from drug addiction, will be identified, and asked to record a 10 s long video of their eyes. Analysis of eye biomarkers associated with pharmacodynamically induced pupil reactions (pupillometry) will yield instant results on drug use/sobriety. Our unique, disruptive Internet of Thing (IoT)-based approach is designed to combine continuous monitoring of drug use and daily mood/cravings, with communication tools aimed at improving the impact of distance care. Real-time results become instantly available to caregivers through our cloud-based Care Portal, allowing fast interventions and correct patient prioritisation. This eHealth solution will drive healthcare digitalisation resulting in extreme cost-efficiency of out-patient treatments as well as convenience and complete privacy during drug screenings. A sophisticated AI-system will assess personal risks of relapse and transform addiction management to become proactive instead of reactive. This approach has the potential to enhance personalised therapy outcomes by ensuring that help can be provided fast to the patients who need it the most. The project objective is to prepare for commercialisation of the Previct Drugs module by determining the most efficient routes for gaining clinical and market acceptance by validating the product in clinical settings.
