SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCING: HOW FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS COULD ENHANCE SUPPLY CHAIN SUSTAINABILITY

In the context of the financial crisis, society has increasingly questioned whether the financial industry plays by the code of ethics that can guarantee a sustainable future for generations to come. This thesis explores the role that financial institutions (FIs) could play as responsible global corporate citizens by enhancing sustainability along the corporate supply chain. The research method relies on an interdisciplinary approach that integrates three distinct but complementary theories: supply chain management, sustainable supply chains and supply chain financing. These three building blocks are derived from different disciplines: supply chain management mainly from management and engineering; sustainable supply chain, from sociology, environmental and political sciences; and supply chain financing, from economics and finance. Each of these three disciplines offers a unique perspective, and complements each other in offering explanations. The resulting Sustainable Supply Chain Financing (SSCF) framework relies on the hypothesis that: i) FIs have a pivotal position in the supply chain that allows them to have access to relationships, information and financial resources in each link in the chain; ii) large corporates can exert their purchasing power on their suppliers to promote the adoption of more sustainable business practices; iii) suppliers, especially small and
Standardized Tests: A Review

Testing has a huge impact on learners and educators, profoundly shaping the educational objectives of both. Hence, what we test and how we test it is a matter of great educational importance. Standardized tests, in particular multiple-choice examinations, are ubiquitous in medicine and offer many advantages, such as reliability, efficiency, and a certain kind of fairness. Yet they are also inherently limited, especially in terms of validity and their ability to promote and assess such crucial educational objectives as collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. At a time when educational assessment techniques in radiology are undergoing profound reexamination and reform, it is more important than ever that radiology educators understand the strengths and weaknesses of the standardized test.

Scientific research for landslide risk analysis and international education for mitigation and preparedness

Scientific activities of the World Centre of Excellence on Landslide Disaster Reduction at Charles University in Prague (2011–2014) combine field research using several techniques, capacity building, and international collaboration. Through our landslide research in Peru, Ethiopia, and at several localities inside the Czech Republic, we consider the landslide phenomena as being a part of the physical-geographical sphere where all of the interactions between the lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere must be evaluated with respect to specific on-site conditions. Slope deformations are also considered as ongoing landscape changes in time and space. In some regions (e.g., in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru), landslides were studied as they occurred. In addition to progress in research methodologies, we have created a new glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) database. Doctoral candidates were involved in field research and student exchanges. Field studies also involve foreign students. Aspects of our landslide research are a matter of international collaboration in the framework of the International Programme on Landslides (IPL).

Observations of the submarine discharge of underground waters (South Coast of the Crimea)

We analyze the results of the field hydrological and hydrochemical observations of the submarine discharge of underground waters near the cape Aiya (South Coast of the Crimea) obtained with the help of the measuring equipment developed at the Marine Hydrophysical Institute of the Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences. We measure the current velocities, temperature, salinity, and the contents of silicic acid and phosphates inside a karst cavity and in the test region around the cavity. We present three estimates of the output of submarine discharge and compute the amounts of silicic acid and phosphates carried out into the sea by the submarine source.
Vocal Warm-Up Practices and Perceptions in Vocalists: A Pilot Survey

Investigated in a pilot study the type, duration, and frequency of vocal warm-up regimens in the singing community using a survey.One hundred seventeen participants completed an online survey. Participants included voice students from undergraduate, masters, and doctoral music programs and professional singers.Fifty-four percent of participants reported always using vocal warm-up before singing. Twenty-two percent of the participants used vocal cool down. The most preferred warm-up duration was of 5-10 minutes in duration. Despite using vocal warm-up, 26% of the participants reported experiencing voice problems. Females tended to use vocal warm-up more frequently than males. Females also tended to use longer warm-up sessions than males. Education of the participants did not appear to have any noticeable effect on the vocal warm-up practices. The most commonly used singing warm-up exercises were ascending/descending five-note scales, ascending/descending octave scales, legato arpeggios, and glissandi.

Rationalising membrane protein crystallisation

Membrane proteins form more than 85% of drug targets, but just 600 unique membrane protein crystal structures have been determined. A better understanding of how to crystallize membrane proteins reliably is therefore urgently required. The Innovative Training Network “RAtionalising Membrane Protein crystallisation” – RAMP will bring together cutting-edge physical chemistry methods for crystallisation condition control and phase diagram exploration, and the development of new lipids and screens in conjunction with industry with the most challenging biological problems. The network includes expert academic and industrial research groups in crystallisation theory, methods development, membrane protein crystallography, drug development and novel structural techniques like time-resolved and neutron crystallography. We will develop new, rational methods for crystallising membrane proteins, focusing particularly on transporters that are also interesting drug targets. The new robust crystallisation methods will also allow us to use emerging European research infrastructures like XFEL or ESS to gain insight into membrane protein function because the techniques will provide the necessary precise control of crystal size. 
A structured training programme organized by academia and industry together will equip the early stage researchers with the skills needed for a successful research career in the field of structural biology. Frequent secondments, research visits and meetings between early-career scientists ensure an efficient exchange of ideas and practical experiences between different groups leading to better integration of European research and innovations in structural biology. Supervision and mentoring by several senior scientists will give the researchers a strong scientific education and make them highly competitive in the work place of tomorrow. The work programme here will improve European competitiveness and advance graduate training.

Energetics of natural turbulent flows: the impact of waves and radiation.

Turbulence in natural flows is an outstanding challenge with key implications for the energetics of planets, stars, oceans, and the Earth’s climate system. Such natural flows interact with waves, radiation or a combination thereof: surface waves and solar radiation on oceans and lakes, bulk waves and radiation inside the rapidly rotating and electrically conducting solar interior, etc. Standard simplified models often discard waves, radiation, or both, with dramatic consequences for the energy budget of natural flows: geostrophic models neglect waves, and Rayleigh-Bénard thermal convection considers heat diffusively injected through a solid boundary, in strong contrast with radiative heating. The purpose of the present multidisciplinary project is to develop a consistent and coupled description of natural flows interacting with waves and radiation, to properly assess their energy budget:

• Because resolving surface waves in global ocean models will remain out-of-reach for decades, I will derive and investigate reduced equations describing their two-way coupling to the ocean currents, with timely implications for the upwelling of nutrients, the strength of the global ocean circulation and ultimately CO2 sequestration and the climate system.

• Building on my recent advances in the field of rotating and magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, I will derive a set of reduced equations to simulate such turbulent flows in the vicinity of the transition where bulk 3D waves appear on a 2D turbulent flow. This approach will allow me to reach unprecedented parameter regimes, orders of magnitude beyond state-of-the-art 3D direct numerical simulations (DNS).

• Finally, I will combine state-of-the-art DNS with a versatile experimental platform to determine the structure, kinetic energy and heat transport of turbulent radiative convection in various geometries. I will extrapolate the resulting scaling-laws to the ocean circulation, the mixing in lakes and the solar tachocline.
A modular earth system model emulator for regional extremes

Climate extremes count among the most impactful consequences of climate change, also under low-emissions scenarios consistent with the aims of the Paris agreement. However, they are not factored in the derivation of emissions scenarios informing international policy options in reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Indeed, the Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) underlying the development of these emissions scenarios only consider changes in mean climate when evaluating options for e.g. changes in agricultural production, biofuel production, afforestation or other land use changes.                                                                                                                              In the MESMER-X project, we will address this shortcoming by developing an operational Earth System Model (ESM) emulator providing climate extremes projections under different emissions and land use scenarios at negligible computational cost. This will allow for the first time a full interactive coupling between IAMs and climate scenarios. The MESMER-X emulator will be made open source and broadly available to scientists, policy-makers and society. The MESMER-X project will provide a disruptive innovation enabling the identification of realistic and resilient options for regional land use development consistent with a net-zero CO2 emissions future, with a focus on the European continent. The results of the MESMER-X project will be of high societal benefit for informing policy development consistent with the Paris agreement on European and global scale, including the European Green Deal
Postnatal Changes in the Expression of Claudin-11 in the Testes and Excurrent Ducts of the Domestic Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus domesticus)

We examined the expression of claudin-11 (CLDN11) in the testes and male reproductive tracts of rabbits. The rabbit CLDN11 cDNA sequences were nearly identical with human, mouse, and bovine CLDN11. The levels of CLDN11 mRNA and protein (22 kDa) were markedly increased in the testis during adult development. On postnatal day (PND) 10, CLDN11 was colocalized with ZO-1 at the lateral contacts between adjacent Sertoli cells and was perpendicular to the basal lamina. In adult testis on PND 180, CLDN11 was codistributed with ZO1, and the pattern of immunoreactivity consisted of wavy linear tracts parallel to the basal lamina, which was different according to the spermatogenic stage. These results suggest that CLDN11 participates in inter-Sertoli cell tight junctions (TJs) at the blood-testis barrier in adult rabbits. CLDN11 was also found in the basal regions of Sertoli cells adjacent to the basal lamina in adult testis, suggesting that CLDN11 also participates in the adhesion between Sertoli cells and the basal lamina. CLDN11 mRNA and protein expressions were decreased in the adult epididymis compared with those in immature animals. In adults, CLDN11 mRNA levels were relatively high in the efferent duct, followed by those in the vas deferens, proximal corpus, and distal cauda, although low levels were observed in the initial segment and caput. On PND 10, CLDN11 immunoreactivity was identified at the apicolateral contacts between adjacent epithelial cells in the epididymis and vas deferens. In adults, CLDN11 was found in the nonciliated cells in the efferent duct and at the lateral contacts in the epithelial cells in the epididymal segments. In the caput, CLDN11 was found at the apicolateral contacts between adjacent epithelial cells, but expression was weak to negligible in the corpus of the vas deferens. CLDN11 may play an important role in TJs and cell adhesion in immature rabbit excurrent duct epithelia. In adult rabbits, CLDN11 in efferent duct epithelium and epididymal epithelium may contribute to the specific environment for sperm maturation.
The Effect of Azolla Inoculum, Phosphate Rock and Rice Hulk Ash Dosages on Rice Yield and Soil Physical of Alfisols

TITLE : THE EFFECT OF AZOLLA INOCULUM, PHOSPHATE ROCK AND RICE HULL ASH DOSAGES ON RICE YIELD AND SOIL PHYSICAL OF ALFISOLS. The use of agrochemical materials to increase rice yield in a long term may cause soil, environment damages and have low productivity. One of the ways to increase the rice yield and improve soil health is organic rice cultivation by applaying organic fertilizer inputs derived from azolla. This research objective is to find out the effect of azolla, phosphate rock and husk ash dosages, as well as the best combination of azolla, rock phosphate and husk ash which is best for soil physical and yield of rice on Alfisols. The experimental design used was Completely Randomized Design (CRD), consists of 5 treatment and repeated 5 times. Data analysis using the F test (Fisher test) with 95% level confidence. Variables measured were field capacity, maximum moisture content, bulk density, aggregate stability, plant height, dry weight of harvest rice and milled rice. The results showed the treatment combination of azolla 250 g m -2 , rock phosphate equivalent with 150 kgha -1 SP-36 and husk ash equivalent with 100 kgha -1 KCl give the highest aggregate stability.

Chronic treatment with juçara (Euterpe edulis) fruit pulp produces antihypertensive effect and improve on baroreflex sensitivity in Spontaneous Hypertensive Rats (SHR)

Background: Juçara açaí is a Brazilian berry with high anthocyanidin content and high antioxidant properties. A correlation between oxidative stress, hypertension and baroreflex impairment is known, however, no previous studies investigate the effect of juçara fruit pulp on hypertension. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate antihypertensive effect of juçara (Euterpe edulis) fruit pulp in SHR animals, its antioxidant capacity and influence on baroreflex sensitivity. Methods: Chemical profile was obtained by ESI(-)-FT-ICR-MS. For biological analysis, male SHR were separated into groups: control (S), which received water; captopril (SC), which received captopril (30 mg/kg), and juçara (SJ), which received juçara pulp (4.4mL/kg). Treatments were daily performed by gavage and remained for 8 weeks. Baroreflex evaluation was made by in bolus injection of phenylephrine and sodium nitroprusside, after the analysis the heart was frozen (-80ºC) for biomolecular evaluations (AOPP, TBARS, SOD and catalase activity and protein expression). Results: The treatments promoted decrease in arterial pressure (S: 163.3±2.2; SC: 154.0±0.6; SJ: 149.0±3.8 mmHg) and improved the baroreflex sensitivity after nitroprusside activation. In addition, it promoted a decrease in AOPP and an increase in the activity of antioxidant enzymes. However, no changes were observed in protein expression. Conclusion: It was shown that juçara can promote cardiovascular benefits and its consume should be stimulated for prevention of hypertension.
Mediterranean Cooperation in the Treatment and Valorisation of Olive Mill Wastewater (OMW)

The Mediterranean region accounts for 97% of the world’s olive production. About 11 million tons of olives are produced each year out of which nearly 2 million tons of olive oil is extracted. The estimated waste generated annually by olive oil processing is 9 million tons: this can potentially cause serious environmental harm if not disposed properly. MEDOLICO specifically targets the issue of olive oil mill wastewater (OMW), which is highly resistant to biodegradation. Provided that the treatment of OMW has only been partially addressed through isolated studies, there is a need for an harmonized and basinwide effort that significantly reduces the environmental impact of wastewater generated by olive mills.
The neanderthal nose: reconstruction of shape, function and adaptations

The project N-SPIRE addresses the topic of human adaptation to climate, through the study of the morphology and function of the nose in the extinct human species Homo neanderthalensis. The ever-increasing debate around the global climate change brings along a discussion on the biological response of human populations to it. The Neanderthals are a major case study: several authors have been proposing climate as the driver of the adaptations for the species, as well as a possible cause for its extinction. N-SPIRE will use a multidisciplinary approach to reconstruct the shape and function of the Neanderthal nose. The project will rely on the only preserved nasal cavity of the human fossil record, that of the Neanderthal known as “Altamura Man”, from Southern Italy. Its 3D model is one of the main subjects of the research, together with a large digital cranial sample including both fossil and modern humans. The inner structure of the nasal cavity of Altamura will allow investigating structures previously unknown in Neanderthals. It will be finalised and tested to provide a starting point for the reconstruction of soft tissues by biomedical engineering, that will be the subject of a secondment in the UK. Subsequently, it will be designed a protocol to model the airflow in the reconstructed fossil nasal cavity. The candidate will be trained in: i) digital techniques for the study of fossils; ii) use of technologies for digital acquisition of skeletal collections; iii) computational techniques for the nasal cavity reconstruction and the simulation of nasal airflow; iv) paleoclimate of the Mid-to-Late Pleistocene of Europe. N-SPIRE is aimed at the reconstruction of the evolutionary and functional aspects of the Neanderthal nose and to ultimately investigate the possible functional adaptations related to moisture, pressure, and temperature of the air. The comparison with modern humans will help to identify possible convergent adaptations between these and the Neanderthals.
