environmental gentrification and emerging collectives in uncertain times

this project is an anthropological study of emerging forms of collective care at a moment where the interlocking crises of capitalism democracy and the environment have become more apparent than ever before in the global north there is an increasing sense of urgency to enhance cities sustainability yet topdown paradigms of urban regeneration can contribute creating enclaves of environmental privilege thereby excluding lower income and minority groups from their benefits much recent scholarly debate has focused on the multiple effects of evictions and displacements as well as on active practices of resistance but what happens if after years of protests grassroots groups become the main actors in processes of collective reappropriation and management of urban spacestakeback is based on an ethnographic study of collective reappropriations of vacant exindustrial buildings retrieved from topdown reconversion by activists and local residents in montreal canada by going beyond a view of social movements as bounded and organised entities it explores the understudied topic of the afterlives of a movement namely what happens when a heterogeneous political collective reaches some of its goals and thus changes shape ambitions and setting it examines evolving trajectories and practices of collective care within activism in order to contribute to debates on the shifting meanings of urban citizenship in an increasingly vulnerable world takeback will allow me to gain new knowledge in the areas of urban geography and visual ethnography to combine this with my previous expertise in political anthropology and ethnographic research and to further my career prospects with a book monograph as major output of the fellowship the project also speaks directly to eu missions directed at supporting the european green deal and just transition mechanism
unveiling networks slavery and the european encounter with islamic material culture 15801700

from the late sixteenth century enslaved muslims were found across mediterranean europe hosted in all major port towns in france spain and italy mainly north africans turks and moriscos seized in the mediterranean during the skirmishes between christian and ottoman forces their movements and activities left traces across many european and middle eastern archives some were sold to become domestic slaves some were traded in exchange for christian prisoners in islamic land while the majority were employed to row on board the galleys their hybrid position spanning geographical and cultural boundaries allowed them to move across two worlds in some cases literally importing goods and medical remedies from islamic lands to europe during periods of nonnavigation they were allowed on land to set up shops and sell to the local population in a virtually unexplored phenomenon of crosscultural exchangethis transnational and interdisciplinary project will investigate an array of sources in five countries three continents and seven languages spanning from archival documents printed sources literary evidence and material survivals across europe and the middle east its goal is to recover the role of muslim slaves in the transmission of islamic material culture techniques and medical practices to europe in the early modern period unseen will bring for the first time under a unifying macronarrative of mediterranean global history the myriad of single local microhistories fragmented along regional linguistic and disciplinary divides an erc starting grant will allow a team of researchers to analyse the bountiful traces left by those enslaved individuals in spanish french italian english latin ottoman and arabic sources and reassign to them the role of triggers of the first european engagement with the artistic technical and medical production of the islamic world placing them at the centre of a mediterraneanwide knowledge network
physicsinformed neural networks for severe weather event prediction

the novel development of physicsinformed neural networks pinns which incorporate the constraints given by physics laws into the training process as excellent means of computing fluidic fields and their characteristics such as velocity and pressure has open the gates to numerous applications one of them is the data enhancement of experiments since pinns can reconstruct by means of applying the navierstokes equations as loss function the full fluid domain in areas where experiments are limited by technology on the other hand the development of generative adversarial networks gans as robust networks with excellent precision but excessive computational costs leaves the door open to further investigate new applications where pinns and gans can be combined to amplify their strengths and reduce their weak points one of those applications regards the forecast of severe weather conditions where pinns are useful to compute the fluidic behavior of storms approaching a certain location whereas gans can incorporate many additional parameters such as wind speed humidity temperature and electric content which may be essential to determine if in the following 48h a certain location is going to suffer from severe weather conditions the estimation and forecast of storms is essential to the air transport industry since the losses incurred due to delays and deviations of air traffic caused by the presence of storms have been reported to be over 385 billion in usa the development of a computational architecture which is able to determine if severe weather events are going to take place within the next 48h is therefore of crucial importance there exists no model nor application in which the combined strengths of pinns and gans have been put into practice one to rapidly estimate the fluidic behaviour of a moving storm the second to calculate the properties of the field with high precision

glacial sculpture in mars ancient megachannels

mars is a hyperarid global cryosphere and likely has been for over 3 gyr however during the socalled early mars period 435 gyr go water flowed within thousands of valleys in crater lakes producing ancient deltas building ice sheets and possibly ponding in oceans surface liquid water was stable on mars coinciding with the origin of life on earth however this early benign climate collapsed with the continued loss of mars atmosphere in the hesperian period 353 gyr ago outflow channels megacanyons among the largest erosive landforms in the solar system date from this time the largest one kasei valles is so vast that the volumes of water involved in its formation were an important fraction of mars total water inventory and its outflow could have filled an ocean on the martian lowlands in the current view kasei valles was formed by a megaflood sourced from the catastrophic release of a nearsurface aquifer building on the basis of terrestrial analogue comparisons this work aims to challenge this view in this project i will explore the hypothesis that kasei valles was eroded by an ice stream a region of channelized fastflowing ice within an ice sheet based on its scale location and geomorphology and reinvestigate the origin of other outflow channels under this perspective drawing from novel fluid dynamic simulations analogue field work geological mapping and climate modelling i will test the ice flood hypothesis which if correct would radically change our understanding of mars transitional hesperian climate the nature of its hydrological cycle and the possibility of a hesperian ocean outflow channels hold a key for understanding the collapse of mars early climate and hydrological system the end of global conditions able to support life and the rise of the global cryosphere that would come to dominate mars climate
structure and dynamics of phage attachment and genome ejection phage

phages have the potential to be used in therapy because they can infect and kill pathogenic bacteria including those resistant to antibiotics although phages are simple details of their life cycle remain unknown to start the infection phages bind to and eject their genome into bacteria during adsorption the phage baseplate recognises receptors in the bacterial cell wall and therefore determines the phage specificity structural knowledge of baseplates will enable the rational engineering of phage host range before ejection the phage genome is stored inside the capsid under high pressure although numerous studies of genome ejection have been performed the understanding of this process is still incomplete because until now no suitable methods for studying in vivo ejection existed the adsorption and genome ejection are closely related processes that can only be best understood togetherin this project hosted at dr plevkas laboratory ceitec i aim to determine the highresolution structure of the phikz baseplate one of the largest known bacteriophages using cryogenic transmission electron microscopy the obtained structural information will be complemented by the characterisation of the genome ejection dynamics in vivo for this purpose i will use cryogenic scanning transmission electron microscopy to quantify the amount of dna in phage heads at various stages of the infection furthermore i will also use holotomography to visualise the ejection dynamicsthere is still much to discover regarding bacterial adsorption and genome delivery thanks to my experience in phage and structural biology i will integrate this projects results to shed light on the first steps of the phage life cycle key to the infection of bacteria my results will expand the understanding of phage infection and enable the retargeting of phages to specific bacterial strains helping to develop phage therapy since antibiotic resistance is a rising health problem worldwide
