hylomorphism in a globalizing world scholastic debates on the ontology of nature across europe china and new spain

hyloglob aims to reconstruct a longneglected yet crucial debate among scholastic philosophers on the ontological constitution of natural bodies this debate took place in europe during the 16th c but its consequences had a global crosscultural impact in their struggle to find a balance among opposite claims about matter form and the elements 16thc scholastic philosophers produced influential ontologies of nature their theories in turn became the lenses through which european thinkers in china and new spain engaged with metaphysical and cosmological doctrines that were completely alien to them the reconstruction of the 16thc scholastic debate on the constitution of natural substances is key to understand the processes of philosophical accommodation and reinterpretation of noneuropean systems of thoughts that took place in early modern asia and america by using a multilevelled methodology hyloglob will reconstruct the scholastic debate on the ontology of nature and its global impact on the one hand it will analyse how historical actors addressed apparently unsolvable questions on prime matter substantial forms and the elements on the other it will assess how these theories were used as influential interpretative tools to grasp sophisticated metaphysical doctrines that utterly diverged from the european tradition hyloglobs results will produce for the first time a thorough comprehensive understanding of how 16thc thinkers envisioned the constitution of the physical world it will provide meaningful insights on the tensions between metaphysical and physical considerations of nature the jesuits materialistic interpretations of chinese philosophy and the foundation of an independent philosophical tradition in new spain at the crossroad of different traditions and disciplines hyloglob will contribute to foster a new more nuanced understanding of a central aspect of the constitution of european identity in a globalising world

learning to design sweet renewable hydrogels development of experimental protocols and deep learning models to decode complex structurefunction relatioships

gels are 3d entangled polymer or particle networks that present simultaneously solid and liquidlike properties gels are widely present in daily life products such as contact lenses food thickeners platforms for drug delivery or wound healing ointments among others carbohydratebased hydrogels have gathered increasing attention for a wide range of biomedical and industrial applications eg tissue engineering or water decontamination due to their biocompatible biodegradable and nonimmunogenic features however the development of most gellike materials is currently limited due their high production costs and greatly pollutant manufacturing techniques in addition the great structural complexity of gels where different lengths scales and isotropic and anisotropic phases coexist limit their characterisation at the molecular and macroscopic scales thus hindering the design and development of functional gels with tailored properties high resolution magic angle spinning hrmas and solidstate nmr ssnmr spectroscopy constitute the most powerful technologies to characterise the structure and dynamics of hydrogels at the molecular level not accessible by other techniques the specific objectives of the sweet2gel project are i to develop novel hrmas and ssnmr protocols for the characterisation of carbohydratebased gels ii to develop predictive deeplearningbased models that allow to decipher hidden relationships between the molecular and macroscopic properties of the gels and iii to improve the molecular models of carbohydrate gel particles by a combination of molecular dynamics and deep learning approaches hence the sweet2gel project aims to accelerate the development of a new generation of renewable materials with rationally designed properties for a wide range of applications
tackling water theft forecasting adaptation surprises

water theft claims between 30 and 50 of the global water supply and despite policy efforts to tackle it is still on the rise the policy failure to tackle water theft has been attributed to the nonlinear adaptive responses by economic agents such as irrigators which can affect and be affected by other socioeconomic eg growing crop prices and ecological processes eg water scarcity via feedback loops with cascading impacts that are difficult to foresee this has led to adaptation surprises with unexpected policy consequences which have increased rather than reduced water theft thus depleting water bodies and hampering sustainable developmenthere i aim to break new ground by developing a novel approach to forecast adaptation surprises in complex humanwater systems to this end i will 1 combine microeconomic mathematical programming models with behavioral economic methods to forecast the nonlinear adaptive responses of individual agents over time 2 integrate the behavior of individual agents into agentbased models and macroeconomic models to forecast nonlinear spatial trends emerging from human interactions at the local to global level 3 endogenize these socioeconomic processes into humanwater system models to forecast nonlinear sociohydrological phenomena and 4 use ensemble experiments to quantify scenario and modeling uncertainties and forecast nonlinearities that may emerge or be amplified due to issues of model parameterizationstructure or scenario design these innovations will allow me to predict the emergence of nonlinearities and track their impact across coupled humanwater systems thus discovering adaptation surprises and their drivers methods will be empirically applied and tested in 3 living labs in spain australia and the us experiencing water theft

robotwin bringing the smart robot teaching tool to the european market

we are robotwin and our vision is to make automation of specialized jobs finally efficient with smart robot teaching it all started with finding out that even today in the age of hitech industries a huge number of jobs in manufacturing are done manually the reason for that is that these jobs are so complex and specialized that conventional automation is impossible or extremely inefficient for them spray painting is an example of such a complex job that is rarely automated in czech republic 80 of all paint shops are purely manual which means they need skilled painters to work in unhealthy and demanding conditions to fulfill the production demand robotization is clearly a trend unfortunately it is not easy at all the robot programming is not doable for most paint shops what they would need is a painter transformed into a robot programmer jan drpela sales director in galatek a s this need is exactly what our robotwin solution addresses robotwin is automation based on motion tracking and imitation it is a set of hardware and software that tracks workers motion extracts his knowhow and generates an optimal robot program worker demonstrates painting process of the first product and robotwin automatically translates these movements into a program to teach the robot all the other products in the series are painted by the robot and the result is as good as when the painter does it themselvesthe worker becomes the robot teacher smes dont need robot programmers anymore robotwin transforms routine manual jobs into collaborative automation and thus allows workers to spend less time in unhealthy working environments our solution brings higher robot utilization because one can teach many robots at the same time even the most complex tasks can be automated and we save time and resources since we are fast and accurate woman tech eu grant will help us to get atex certification commercialize our product and secure investment in 2024

deciphering antigenspecific circuits orchestrating tolerance

peripheral regulatory t cell ptreg responses are critical in inhibiting inflammation to external harmless antigens studying their regulation and function is crucial for developing treatments to conditions like allergies and inflammatory bowel disease antigenpresenting cells apcs play a pivotal role in governing tolerance they induce ptreg support their terminal differentiation and maintenance and are also modulated by ptreg cells in their antigenspecific tasks however unclear findings regarding which cells initiate the ptreg response coupled with the perception that apc subsets may play a redundant role have made it challenging to fully understand and explore these critical cellular interactions therefore a major gap existed in our ability to decipher the information exchange within the antigenspecific circuit orchestrating tolerance we and two other groups recently identified rorgammat apcs as the exclusive initiators of the ptreg response to gut microbes this discovery and our newly developed methodological approaches now provide a unique opportunity to delve into the cellular interactions utilized by ptreg building on our previous findings and experimental strategies we will adopt a reductionist approach to uncover which apcs beyond rort cells shape and maintain the ptreg response aim 1 we will combine the chimeric mice method with mouse genetics to devise a new approach that will allow us to conduct functional studies of the ptreg response without inducing inflammation and subsequent indirect effects with this we will explore the different instructions ptreg communicates to apc subsets aim 2 lastly drawing on my expertise in technology development we will create a toolbox that allows for the first time detection and profiling of specific antigen presenters using singlecell sequencing aim 3by unraveling antigenspecific circuits we strive for a novel understanding of tolerance mechanisms
