public participatory cocreation tools for naturebased solutions

naturebased solutions nbs have gained traction over the past decades as a urban design philosophy that reduces pressures of climate change by creating sustainable and resilient urban spaces with an investment of over 240 million eu proves that nbs is essential component in its sustainable development strategy however the use of bluegreen infrastructure a core component of nbs is often too technical excluding a primary user and beneficiary general public from giving input into nbs planning this further leads to the lack of public acceptance of nbs projects and poor sociallyresponsible design hence there is a need for better tools and processes to facilitate cocreation of nbs projects between public and planning professionals the aim of public participatory cocreation tools for nbs pactnbs project is to create a framework for facilitation of urban nbs codesign by using public value frameworks integrated within serious games to aid decision making this will be achieved by 1 using systematic approach to establish public values metrics relevant to diverse european communities 2 developing and testing serious gaming tool integrated with environmental and social objectives for urban design and 3 providing holistic cocreation framework for serious game application in nbs planning based on the results of public and professionals testing across europe pactnbs goes beyond the stateoftheart by addressing critical gaps in nbs public planning but also captures eus policy objectives and sustainability agendas through european green deal and sdgs 6 and 11 utilising researchers extensive background on nbs development and social engineering together with crosseuropean collaboration and professional networks through hosting institution and nonacademic placement the project will not only deliver the highest benefits to research industry and general public but form international network to advance eus climate and social resilience
returns to work in occupational relational and corporate settings

the rise of platforms and remote work has refashioned concerns about work security and flexibility in public debates academic studies have documented an increase in nonstandard work over decades including polarization of rewards shifting occupational boundaries and winding paths among women and other marginalized groups these findings had important policy implications but left questions about the unfolding of individual labor market experiences amid the more noticeable changes this project mobilizes new techniques and data sources and overcomes divisions in research on work to address those problems it will recover important complexity by 1 measuring the diversity of individual job trajectories in light of their economic returns costs and risks and by 2 grounding job trajectories in work activities and crucially workers interpretations of labor market structures these objectives integrate previously divided formal and constructionist thinking to explain the interplay of contexts practices and meaning around workthe project has three parts work package 1 wp1 uses nationallevel employment datasets of france germany and the us to survey job trajectories in relation to earnings across institutional contexts it advances analyses of occupational and other categorical effects by drawing attention to job change sequences standard and odd wp2 asks how workers organize concrete work it takes two strategic cases with detailed work records one involving technical expertise and the other practical tasks to study how workers do their jobs as they move between corporate and relational arrangements and to what effects both steps assume stable structures wp3 asks how workers question conventional job presentations in standard and nonstandard work trajectories it draws on a unique dataset of career descriptions in two areas of work and two countries to capture institutional and cultural effects on meaning construction
mycoproteins for sustainable fish feeds nomyfeeds

norwegian mycelium as nomy is an oslobased bioscience company established in 2020 our vision is to make our systems of production circular by nature our mission is to use the biointelligence of a billion years of fungal evolution to develop new sustainable alternative proteins from fungi nomy does this at three levels first we work at the value chain level with large processing industries to design out waste from their system by identifying highvolume low value nutrient rich side streams of the production ones that are costly to throw away thus we invest resources into waste utilisation rather than waste management at a considerable savings second nomy develops circular processes fermentation technology for utilising these sidestreams our aim is to be circular in the utilisation of infrastructure as well we invest in production systems that make use of existing infrastructure with our industrial sidestream partners third this provides us with raw materials that are cost effective where these sidestream producers give them to us or pay us to take them away to cocreate value as circular products in these production facilities we make fungalbased products that have a fraction of the environmental footprint of existing products and we can do it at scale 247 regardless of weather in industrial facilities that require no arable land better for people and the planet
quantum control of ultracold molecules by electric fields

the study of molecular collisions at the lowest possible energy has emerged as an exciting research frontier at low energies the wavecharacter of matter leads to exotic scattering phenomena that reveal the fundamental mechanisms of molecular collisions crossed beam methods are ideal to probe collisions with the highest detail but the lowest energy currently achievable is not sufficient to fully harvest these possibilities building upon my recent breakthrough in statetostate merged beam scattering at recordlow energies the aim of this project is to reduce the currently attainable collision energy by another 23 orders of magnitude by combining stark deceleration merged beams laser cooling and velocity map imaging using two distinct systems that are characteristic for a large class of molecular interactions i will measure hitherto unexplored quantum features in the statetostate integral and differential cross sections for atommolecule systems i will measure scattering resonances and image how the resonance region dominated by a few partial waves evolves into the pure quantum regime where only a single partial wave remains for collisions between dipolar molecules i will experimentally study a peculiar selfpolarizing effect probing fundamental features of the longrange dipoledipole interaction that can be steered from attractive to repulsive for both systems i will manipulate the cross sections using external electric fields and study how the partial waves transform during the collision the proposed research program will directly visualize how molecular collisions transform from hot into ultracold at the full quantum mechanical level providing excellent tests for quantum theories of molecular interactions it will bridge the gap between the ultracold quantum physics and physical chemistry communities and will lay the foundations for a new era in the rich history of elucidating molecular reaction dynamics using crossed molecular beams

going viral music and emotions during pandemics 16791919

within day of covid19 reaching europe in early 2020 music had emerged as one of the most prominent media for emotional engagement with the effects of lockdown sickness and grief its remarkable primacy for expressing navigating and shaping emotional pandemic experiences was quickly picked up by researchers and journalists who showed an immediate interest in finding evidence both for the role of music in past pandemics and for continuities across time it quickly transpired though that they lacked established categories shared methodologies and sufficient historical knowledge to describe and to compare the phenomenon adequatelythe study of music in pandemics and especially of its emotional significance is both underdeveloped and urgently needed and has the potential to constitute a major new field of research on music emotions and pandemics alike going viral will be the first study to provide a comparative history of the imbrication of music in the emotional experiences of pandemicsits major research aims areto develop an innovative conceptualisation and methodology for studying music and emotions across history building on the equally wellregarded approaches musicking as social practice and emotions as embodied practices
