leadfree transition for the european space sector

due to the overall transition of the electronics industry worldwide to a pbfree realm the space industry is more and more confronted with a situation where they cannot avoid using eee electrical electronic and electromechanical parts with leadfree finishes and they need to manage the associated risks the growing use of commercial components cots notably for the expanding market sector of constellations means that european space industry is already using large amount of components with leadfree finishes even when the equivalent leaded highreliable version is available even though the space sector is exempted from rohs restrictions restriction on the use of certain hazardous substances market pressure may also result on potential future difficult availability of leaded solder paste this project addresses the main challenges of the pbfree transition for the european space sector that were described in the roadmap delivered in 2020 by the escc task force created to that end first we will study the obstacles that hinder today the wider use of cots components in space projects using existing qualified assembly processes based on leaded solders second we will launch a comprehensive evaluation of two leadfree solders that show promise for the space sector including reliability model development snsolders were alloyed with lead at the beginning of the electronics era mainly to inhibit the growth of whiskers therefore going to leadfree electronics creates a serious risk for space projects that may result in catastrophic failure in the satellite due to whiskers growth the space sector has developed mitigation approaches but the real challenge is to obtain accelerated tests that will give confidence that for a given mitigation used and for the duration of the project the risk is managed and acceptable for that we propose to perform basic research to advance the stateoftheart on our knowledge of whisker growth leading to the determination of the pertinent activation energies that can be used in the design of accelerated tests
irreligious masculinities unpacking the gendered dialectic between islam and secularism

irma breaks new ground and proposes an innovative approach for the relational study of gender by investigating the relationship between masculinity secularism and religiosity among bangladeshiorigin muslim men in different national contexts an ideological tension between secularism and islam plays a prominent role in the societal debate on gender not only in europe where muslim men are often a cause for concern but also in muslimmajority countries that experienced conflicts between secular state and political islam such as bangladesh this tension leads most men to frame their identifications according to a polarity between islam and secularism and to conceive of their own masculinity as incompatible with that of their counterparts provoking heated controversy on issues such as gender equality and lgbtq rights and posing a challenge that has found little response in academic research scholars have so far paid scant attention to the topic producing poor empirical data and rather devoting themselves to studying islamic men as if they constitute a separate reality from the rest of society in addition the scarce research does not consider how migration impacts conceptions of secularism islam and masculinities irma remedies these shortcomings with a multisited ethnography on the relationship between secular irreligious and islaminspired religious masculinities in bangladesh and among bangladeshi migrants in italy and switzerland the project investigates gender secularism and religiosity in their interaction with sociopolitical determinants such as social class and sexual orientation and with the position of social actors in the geographies of power in order to offer a more comprehensive understanding of the complex and shifting interplay between secularism religion and masculinities and a nonethnocentric understanding of how secularism and religiosity connect to gender equality and the rights of nonconforming people
masculinities for the future of european democracy

european liberal democracy is at stake as the electoral success of extremeright parties reveals how positions once seen as radical become mainstream extremeright ideologies seek to overturn democratic values and practices surrounding minority rights the separation of powers and the rule of law they reject equality foster authoritarianism and attack personal autonomy while legitimizing threats harassment and violence associated with xenophobia racism antisemitism misogyny transphobia homophobia and intolerance towards outgroups more generally extremeright movements and parties tend to espouse traditional gender roles while mobilizing hypermasculine identities to celebrate gender inequality trivialize authoritarianism and justify antidemocratic behaviour men4dem will systematically advance our understanding of how masculinity is constructed and mobilized by the extreme right in europe guided by our intersectional theoretical methodological and normative framework and our mixed methods approach the program will study how extremism is legitimized on online platforms and spills over into the political mainstream this knowledge will inform evidencebased strategies to prevent and counter political masculinities that turn against the european unions fundamental principles in cocreation with young men our societal partners and a european network of gender justice organizations we will develop interventions to promote models of democratic masculinity that can guide equitable political participation representation and leadership in the european union our interventions will include concrete tools for policy makers practitioners civil society groups and political parties to create a safer and more inclusive european political arena for all the consortium brings together academic and civil society partners to work towards solutions in germany greece italy the netherlands poland and sweden as well as in the eu as a whole
the fragility instability ambiguity and selfreflexivity of images in roman art

fragile images fundamentally challenges the dominant notion of images as powerful actors it moves away from the focus on the affective persuasive performative and immersive image and instead focuses on its fragility instability ambiguity and selfreflexivity this radically new approach brings together a visual studies perspective and a culturalhistorical approach and applies them to roman imagery from the 2nd century bc to the 4th century ad it has three main objectives1 a systematic study of pictorial fragility the manifold phenomena of pictorial fragility are divided into three analytical dimensions temporal fragility which deals with the material contextual and conceptual mutability of images semantic fragility which deals with their ambiguity and ontological fragility which addresses their selfreflexivity the case studies aim at elaborating the semantic aesthetic but also social potentials of such fragile images2 a new perspective on roman visual cultureby means of a comparative approach the project explores the extent to which manipulated ambiguous and selfreflexive images differ in their spatial contexts and in their sociocultural forms of use this focus invites a new way of looking at roman art the temporality ambiguity and selfreflexivity of roman images are constitutive elements of an innovative sophisticated intelligent and even intellectual visual culture this perspective moves away from the old view of roman art as a mere derivative of greek pictorial concepts3 a reformulation of image theory in the light of fragile imagesthis project will not only challenge the common notion of the power of images but also transcend the dichotomy of power and weakness fragility is not considered as an image deficit but as a pictorial quality to be analysed in terms of its specific potential the focus on pictorial fragility will result in renegotiating the activity of image and viewer

targeting skin glycosylation patterns to protect threatened salamanders from disease driven extinction

disease driven amphibian declines are frequently compared to the extinction of dinosaurs and have become an icon of the global biodiversity crisis the deadly skin disease chytridiomycosis is causing the greatest recorded loss of biodiversity attributable to a disease the recently introduced chytrid fungus batrachochytrium salamandrivorans bsal is expanding its range in europe remains unmitigated and thus poses an imminent threat to western palearctic urodele salamanders and newts diversity while hypersusceptible species invariably die after exposure other species show a much more variable individual and dose dependent response ranging from selflimiting infections with selfcure to lethal disease my group recently discovered that host susceptibility correlates with the skin glycosylation pattern of salamanders with cutaneous galactose content predicting variation in intensity of bsal colonization the variability of the skin glycosylation pattern offers a unique opportunity for marker directed selection of disease resistant salamanders the overarching hypothesis of glossi glycosylation in salamander skin infection is that variability of hereditary glycosylation patterns in the salamander skin underpins differential bsal colonization and allows the selection of colonization resistant host lineages to study the contribution of skin glycosylation patterns towards the development of salamander resistance against the bsal epidemic glossi will combine laboratory and field trials to study 1 the temporal dynamics and heritability of glycosylation patterns and associated susceptibility to bsal infection in urodeles 2 the potential of natural selection towards increased resistance in infected natural urodele populations and its impact on population dynamics 3 the host genetics that underpin the epidermal glycosylation pattern and implications for disease resistance glossi will lead to novel strategies for curbing disease driven loss of biodiversity

impact of reactive oxygen species produced by their sand fly vector on leishmania sexual hybrid formation

by transmitting hundreds of pathogens causing important human mortality and morbidity vector insects are a major public health threat even if intrinsic insect parameters such as immune response are known to impact their vectorial capacities the vectorpathogen interaction is still little understood phlebotomine sand flies are responsible for the transmission of leishmania parasites causing leishmaniasis this disease produces a wide spectrum of symptoms due to a high genetic diversity of parasite strains in addition to their clonal reproduction leishmania can engage in a cryptic sexual cycle resulting in hybrid progeny sexual mating is believed to be a major source of leishmania genetic diversity which drives changes in tissue tropism pathology and drug resistance experimental generation of hybrids until recently confined to parasites growing in the sand fly gut is now possible to achieve in vitro however despite the possibility to culture high quantities of parasites the frequency of hybrids generated in vivo is much higher than in vitro showing that the vector gut environment is particularly adapted for leishmania sexual mating the mechanisms of leishmania sexual reproduction and the parameters rendering the vectors gut favorable to this process are currently unknown i recently observed that preexposing parental parasite cultures to reactive oxygen species ros leads to an increased hybrid production in vitro which led me to hypothesize that ros present in large amount in the sand fly gut could be one of these parameters using a dual genetic approach applied on both the parasite and the vector i aim to decipher the impact of the ros produced by the sand fly gut cells on the engagement of leishmania parasites in a sexual reproduction path this project will generate important knowledge on the leishmaniasand fly interaction and will set the stage for my future independent research group on the subject
