artwork unique recognition and tracking through chemical encoded data miniaturized devices and blockchain alliance

artifacts are constantly threatened by anthropogenic actions looting smuggling and illicit trade of cultural goods pose major risks to our cultural goods and our cultural identity one of the major consequences of these illegal activities is the dissociation meaning the loss of information associated with an object such as provenance identification or location information without which the object loses significance or is lost thus art property marking and tracking are crucial to ensure the object identification collection management and protection while maintaining their state of conservation several actions have been adopted during the years to strengthen the protection of cultural property and cultural heritage but they often lack effectiveness the aurora project wants to fill this gap by demonstrating how chemical marking miniaturized device art deepscan technique cloud and blockchain based platforms can be combined to create a costeffective nondestructive and noninvasive countermeasure against illegal activities while preserving artifacts the technologies researched and implemented in aurora will converge in a digital tool allowing relevant stakeholders art dealers curators auction houses logistic services and enforcement agents to easily verify artwork authenticity and provenance enabling art piece movement tracking in close collaboration with relevant cultural institutions partners aurora will showcase real setting applications to validate the noninvasiveness low cost longterm stability confidentiality and data security features of the proposed solutions in parallel aurora will foster technological democratization among cultural institutions by creating a knowledge bridge between technical competencies and cultural heritage professionals specific awarenessraising activities will demonstrate how the aurora solutions can be a means to preserve cultural identities mixtures through cultural heritage preservation

precision medicine to prevent arrhythmic events in athletes

regular physical activity is known to be beneficial for health can prevent cardiovascular disease and reduce overall mortality however high intensity exercise can promote the development of arrhythmias and cause sudden cardiac death recently the profpeter schwartzs group discovered the phenomenon of exerciseinduced long qt syndrome exilqts affected athletes develop significant qt interval prolongation and repolarization abnormalities on the electrocardiogram during training periods and normalisation occurs during detraining clinically these athletes resemble patients with congenital lqts who are known to be severely at risk for lifethreatening arrhythmias but no pathogenic genetic variants in main genes responsible for lqts were found data on how exercise could trigger pathogenic qt prolongation and arrhythmias is limited and thus the possibilities to evaluate potential risks and prevent sudden cardiac death in these young athletes are currently absent this project will use a precision medicine approach to reveal molecular culprits of exilqts byidemonstrating that the disease could be recapitulated in vitro using athletespecific induced pluripotent stem cellderived cardiomyocytes modelsiicreating a statistical model integrating genetic electrophysiological and molecular dataiiidiscovering major factors responsible for exilqts development and identifying molecular targets for risk stratification and therapyresults of the study will shed the light on mysterious exerciserelated qt prolongation and will contribute to better risk assessment and clinical management of arrhythmias in young athletes
exploring plausible circular futures

circular economy ce represents a new paradigm that is capable of pushing the frontiers of sustainable development by transforming the relationships between ecological systems and economic activities such a new paradigm is expected to repair economysocietynature interactions replacing the current linear economic model with a new one that is restorative and regenerative by intention and designhowever while there is common agreement that the transition towards a ce could foster more sustainable futures there is a lack of discussion about how a truly circular economic system should be organised most of the current literature on ce fails to recognise this presenting the transition towards a ce as a straightforward neutral and apolitical process implicitly characterised by a technooptimistic and ecomodernist stance within this context this project calls for opening up a debate to deconstruct the increasingly hegemonic discourse of ce based on a technocratic approach and reconstruct it by embedding normative and political dimensions looking at a plurality of plausible ce futures and discussing their implications in terms of the organisation of production and distribution networks also involving a wide set of stakeholders as such the project will involve a plurality of disciplinary perspectives in order to devise future supply chain configurations that could be implemented in specific industrial sectors under specific ce scenarios a wide array of nonacademic beneficiaries ensures that the project will be capable of realising relevant knowledge transfer through secondment mechanisms
