Support to SMEs affected by the COVID 19 outbreak

I founded the company in 2011 located on OSIR in Kłodzko, where I started activities related to tourist traffic, sports groups and individual tourists as well as residents of the city using the swimming pool in the high June-August season there was no problem with customers and like most establishments we worked on full turnover. From September to May, the traffic in addition to winter holidays almost died to zero.In this place, I carried out external customer service tz. catering for schools and this gave me the means to last until the next season. At the time when the government suspended the school activities from March 13, I was unemployed.After the release of the facilities, I returned to business.Currently,the movement is moderate,the pool was not opened this year due to covid 19,but I won a tender to operate a boarding school in the school year 2020/2021 ZSA Bożków. The Municipality of Nowa Ruda. Any financial support will protect me from indebtedness or closure.
Combined temozolomide and radiation as an initial treatment for anaplastic glioma

Combined temozolomide (TMZ) and radiation therapy (RT) is often used as initial treatment for anaplastic glioma. However, there is no prospective randomized data available that proves the efficacy of the combination for anaplastic glioma. In this retrospective study we aimed to compare the outcome of patients who had combined TMZ and RT with those who had RT alone for the initial treatment of anaplastic glioma in our centers.Patients with anaplastic astrocytoma or oligoastrocytoma treated at our centers between 2000 and 2010 were reviewed. Only patients who received initial RT or concurrent TMZ and RT (TMZ-RT) were included.Of 62 patients, 55 were less than 66-years old; 36 (58.1%) had a tumor resection and 26 had a biopsy only. An oligodendroglial component in their tumor histology was present in 21 patients (33.9%). At a median follow up of 20.7 months for all patients, median progression-free survival was similar for the two treatment groups (RT alone: 16.7 months (95% CI 9.4, 34.8 months) versus TMZ-RT: 14.8 months (95% CI 8.6, 28.6 months, P = NS). Median overall survival was 27.4 months (95% CI 10.6, not estimable [NE] months) for patients who had RT alone and 34.1 months (95% CI 19.8, 42.1 months) for those who had TMZ-RT.No significant benefit of combined TMZ with RT compared to RT alone was observed as the initial treatment of anaplastic glioma. Prospective randomized trials are needed to evaluate the optimal treatment for this disease.
Ornitología urbana en el Neotrópico: estado de situación y desafíos

&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; La región Neotropical presenta una gran diversidad de aves y un alto nivel de urbanización, sin embargo, es una de las regiones menos estudiadas en relación a la ornitología urbana. Muchas aves de esta región están sufriendo decrecimientos poblacionales importantes debido a impactos antrópicos por lo cual es fundamental analizar los efectos de la urbanización sobre las aves en el Neotrópico. En base a una revisión bibliográfica encontramos 270 estudios sobre ornitología urbana en el Neotrópico, casi la mitad de las investigaciones se enfocan en ecología espacial, y sólo tres países (Brasil, México y Argentina) concentran más del 60% de las investigaciones. Este Número Especial incluye 20 artículos sobre ornitología urbana con la participación de investigadores de seis países de la región. En estos trabajos -que incluyen puntos de vista, revisiones bibliográficas, metodologías y ayudas en investigación, artículos y comunicaciones cortas-, se analizan diferentes temáticas como el cambio de la diversidad de aves y poblaciones a través de gradientes urbanos y del tiempo, depredación de nidos y mortandad de adultos en ambientes urbanos. En comparación a las temáticas abordadas anteriormente en la región, este Número Especial se destaca por sus trabajos sobre demografía y comportamiento de aves. Resaltamos la necesidad de realizar más investigaciones sobre cambios demográficos de las especies, análisis de factores abióticos como la luz artificial o el ruido, y estudios a múltiples escalas espaciales y temporales.&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D;
Understanding the clostridium spore, a prerequiste for disease interventions and exploitation

Bacterial endospores are the most resistant life-forms on earth and the most important single feature of the genus Clostridium. Thus, whilst the pathogenesis of its notorious pathogens (C. botulinum, C. perfringens and C. difficile) is ascribed to the devastating toxins produced (neurotoxins, endotoxins and cytotoxins), it is their capacity to produce spores that lies at the heart of the diseases they cause. This is because spores play the pivotal role in the spread of infection (eg, C. difficile) and in foodstuff contamination and food poisoning (eg, C. botulinum and C. perfringens). The processes of spore formation (sporulation) and germination (return of the dormant spore to toxin-producing, vegetative cells), therefore, represent key intervention points. On the other hand, the majority of clostridia are entirely benign and can sustainably produce all manner of useful chemicals and fuels. Crucially, the regulation of chemical production is intimately linked to that of sporulation. Spores of benign species may also be used as a delivery system for treating cancer. Yet, despite the spore’s importance, little is known of the developmental processes of sporulation and germination. This is because research and training efforts on Clostridium spores are fragmented and there is no coherence between researchers working on pathogenic and industrially important species. CLOSPORE will address this deficiency by pooling the resources of Europe’s leading universities, research organisations and companies, to create an intersectorial Research and Training Programme that is multi-facetted, interdisciplinary and focused on clostridial spores. Accordingly, CLOSPORE will produce the innovative, applied research leaders of the future, able to tackle the big societal challenges facing Europe and the world.
Role of dna methylation reprogramming in germline stress response

Cytosine methylation is an ancient epigenetic modification that carries essential regulatory functions in eukaryotic genomes. This modification is reprogramed in both male and female germlines of mammals, regulating essential germline functions. My host lab discovered that DNA methylation reprogramming also occurs in male germlines of flowering plants, such as Arabidopsis, rice and maize. This reprogramming is catalyzed by the RNA-directed DNA methylation pathway (RdDM), which methylates hundreds of genes specifically in the male germline. In Arabidopsis, this germline-specific methylation (GSM) regulates male meiosis by controlling gene transcription and splicing. It is unknown if methylation reprogramming also occurs in plant female germlines. Furthermore, our preliminary data suggest that GSM is modulated by ambient temperature. It is mysterious if and how environmental modulation of methylation reprogramming contributes to stress tolerance in plant germlines. 
I propose to answer these questions in Arabidopsis using a combination of single-cell genomics, epigenetics, genetics and developmental biology approaches. My preliminary work detected GSM in the egg companion cell and gynoecium (female organ), whose development was reported to be affected by RdDM mutations. Data also suggest that heat-induced modulation of GSM activates a heat shock gene in male meiocytes. Thus, I hypothesize that methylation reprogramming occurs and plays essential regulatory roles in the female germline, and beyond; an important function of such reprogramming is to mediate germline response to environmental stresses such as heat. Here, I will test this hypothesis and elucidate the scope, mechanism and environmental adaptation function of germline reprogramming. My discoveries will elucidate essential methylation and regulatory mechanisms in plant germlines that mediate intergenerational heredity, and establish a novel epigenetic paradigm in how germlines perceive and respond to stress.
High-Precision Computation: Mathematical Physics and Dynamics

High-Precision Computation: Mathematical Physics and Dynamics D. H. Bailey ∗ R. Barrio † April 1, 2010 J. M. Borwein ‡ Abstract At the present time, IEEE 64-bit ﬂoating-point arithmetic is suﬃciently accurate for most scientiﬁc applications. However, for a rapidly growing body of important scientiﬁc computing applications, a higher level of numeric precision is required. Such calculations are facilitated by high-precision software packages that include high-level language translation modules to minimize the conversion eﬀort. This pa- per presents a survey of recent applications of these techniques and provides some analysis of their numerical requirements. These applications include supernova sim- ulations, climate modeling, planetary orbit calculations, Coulomb n-body atomic systems, studies of the ﬁne structure constant, scattering amplitudes of quarks, glu- ons and bosons, nonlinear oscillator theory, experimental mathematics, evaluation of orthogonal polynomials, numerical integration of ODEs, computation of periodic orbits, studies of the splitting of separatrices, detection of strange nonchaotic at- tractors, Ising theory, quantum ﬁeld theory, and discrete dynamical systems. We conclude that high-precision arithmetic facilities are now an indispensable compo- nent of a modern large-scale scientiﬁc computing environment.

The pore character of coal reservoirs in Yichuan area by using Quadrasorb SI Automatic low nitrogen adsorption instrument tested is and analyzed.The results of this experiment have revealed that the pore types of coal reservoir in this area are mainly microporous.Beside,the microporous is mostly comprised of one closed and airtight type II pores while small pore mainly consist of opend pores of type I and ink bottle shape hole.Moreover,based on the datas of adsorption test of nitrogen in low temperature,the relationship between fractal dimension of pores in Yichuan area and adsorption parameter are analyzed.The results show that fractal dimension Dhas some relevance with VL and PL,that is fractal dimension D is associated with positive relationship between Langmuir volume and Langmuir pressure to some extent.Yichuan area is a significant exploration area of deep coal seam CBM,thus this research will have an important meaning to the exploration and development of coalbed methane in this area.
Revealing the cell biology of a predatory bacterium in space and time

The model predatory bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus feeds upon other Gram-negative bacteria, including pathogenic strains. Upon entry inside the periplasmic space of the prey envelope, B. bacteriovorus initiates an exquisite developmental program in which it digests the host resources while ensuring the osmotic stability of its niche. In the periplasm, the predator cell grows as a polyploid filament, before releasing a variable, odd or even number of daughter cells upon a non-binary division event. The progeny is then liberated to hunt for new prey. B. bacteriovorus is now attracting a revived attention as several in vivo models of infection established its promising “living antibiotic” potential. Despite this remarkable lifestyle, the fields of bacterial cell biology and antibiotics research still lack a comprehensive understanding of how this micro-predator thrives inside the envelope of other bacteria. Indeed, the molecular factors behind the non-canonical cell biology of B. bacteriovorus are still largely mysterious. 

My goal is to tackle this question by unraveling the novel mechanisms that control key processes of the fascinating cell cycle of this bacterium, using a unique combination of quantitative live imaging of predation at the single-cell level, bacterial genetics and molecular biology. Specifically, I aim to (i) uncover how the genetic information is organized, copied and partitioned in a polyploid cell before non-binary division, (i) shed light on factors that polarize the predator cell, and (iii) discover prey envelope features that influence the predation cycle. Because the biology of B. bacteriovorus stands beyond textbook standards, our results will provide mechanistic insight into important biological questions that remained unexplored using “classical” model species. If successful, this project will advance bacterial cell biology, while offering an innovative contribution to the fight against antibiotics-resistant pathogens.

I singoli rinvenimenti, contestualizzati e brevemente analizzati nella loro composizione, consentono di delineare le tipologie dei materiali circolanti a Ferrara tra XVI e XVII secolo.
Evolutionary stability of ubiquitous root symbiosis

Virtually all terrestrial plants depend on symbiotic interactions with fungi. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi evolved over 450 million years ago, are obligate biotrophs and cannot complete their lifecycle without obtaining carbon from host roots. Mediating nutrient uptake and sequestering carbon in soil this symbiosis lie at the core of all terrestrial ecosystems. Plants on the other hand are facultative mycotrophs but under natural conditions all host roots are colonized as a result of multiple beneficial effects of AM fungi. In the symbiosis, both plants and fungi are promiscuous, forming interactions across individuals and species. In the absence of host-symbiont specificity and given their inability to discriminate among partners prior to interaction, evolutionary theory predicts that “free riders” would evolve and spread. Yet AM fungi remain evolutionary and ecologically successful. I propose that this is thanks to their unique genomic organization, a temporally dynamic heterokaryosis.

Unlike other eukaryotes, AM fungi have no single nucleate stage in their life cycle, instead they reproduce asexually by forming large multinucleate spores. Genetic variation is high and nuclei can migrate and mix within extensive mycelial networks. My group has recently established a single nucleus genomics method to study genetic variation among nuclei within AM fungi. With this method I can resolve the extent of heterokaryosis in AM fungi and its temporal dynamics. I will study the emergence of “free riders” upon intra organismal segregation of genetically distinct nuclei during AM fungal adaptation to host. Further I will study how hyphal fusion and nuclear mixing counteract segregation to stabilize the symbiosis. The research program has great potential for novel discoveries of fundamental importance to evolutionary and environmental biology and will also contribute to agricultural practice and management of terrestrial ecosystems.
Detecting flaws in golf swing using common movements of professional players

We propose a golf swing instruction system for detecting important flaws to facilitate the improvement of a user's golf swing. Golf players generally differ greatly in terms of their body size and flexibility; these individual differences make it difficult to identify the underlying characteristics of a good swing. In this study, we exploit common movements made by professional players to establish golf swing instruction for diverse users. The common movements of professionals are likely to be similar without dependence on their individual differences because being important for performing professional golf swing. This suggests that the common movements of professionals are helpful components for achieving appropriate golf swing instructions for diverse users. We construct an ideal posture estimator by aggregating the movements of professionals. In our ideal posture estimator, we use a Gaussian process regression to infer the parts of the golf swing that characterize the common or individual movements. Using the estimation results inferred by our ideal posture estimator, we estimate the important joints to improve the golf swing of each user. Our experiments demonstrate that the use of the common movements made by professionals significantly improves the detection of flaws in the swing of individual users.
PAYS.MED.URBAN: High quality of landscape as a key of sustainability and competitiveness of mediterranean urban areas

PAYS.MED.URBAN understands high quality of landscape as a key factor of sustainability and competitiveness of urban areas. High quality of landscape is not only important for the identity, the ecological health and the quality of life of urban areas but also is a key factor of the attractiveness and distinctiveness of these areas. For this reason, it is an territorial capital and soft locational factor important for attracting enterprises of the new economy sectors (knowledge industry business), qualified and creative workforce (“talents”) and for tourism. Therefore, PAYS.MED.URBAN links directly with general objectives for the Med programme (to make the whole Med space a territory able to match international concurrence and active intervention in a logic of sustainable development). Among priority axes the project belongs to axis 4 centred in the promotion of a polycentric development, putting the accent on the question that a polycentric spatial approach only can be sustainable when it is combined with the idea of compact city in order to prevent a dispersed polycentric settlement pattern caracterized by urban sprawl and the subsequent negative impacts or costs. The aim to create polycentric and at the same time compact urban regions needs a great attention to landscape, especially the preservation of open public spaces in the periurban areas, but also are important other landscape matters treated by PAYS.MED.URBAN.
Autonomous trust, security and privacy management framework for iot

The deployment of IoT systems are increasing worldwide, but so does security incidents like ransomware and cyber-extortion, which are not sufficiently covered by current cybersecurity practices and will proliferate with upcoming technologies like 5G. At the same pace, attacks are becoming more sophisticated, requiring reinforced cybersecurity competencies, as well as more effective mechanisms for detection and mitigation of attacks. ARCADIAN-IoT established the goal to develop and make available an innovative, advanced framework for trust, security and privacy management in IoT systems to promote trustworthy IoT systems. ARCADIAN-IoT will accelerate the development towards decentralized, transparent and user controllable privacy in three real use cases: Emergency and vigilance using drones and IoT; Monitoring of grid infrastructure; and medical IoT devices for telemonitoring and follow-up of cancer patients. ARCADIAN-IoT aims to fill a gap in the IoT threat intelligence landscape by providing a novel IoT- specific Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) approach, which supports integrated, automated and privacy- preserved IoT threat information sharing. ARCADIAN-IoT will research distributed ledger technologies to enable decentralized trust management and will leverage on federated AI for effective cybersecurity solutions complying with privacy regulations. ARCADIAN-IoT will act as an enabler of IoT systems in future networks by including eSIM technology with over the air management support for devices, and to enhance identity management through trusted hardware – Root of Trust (RoT). ARCADIAN-IoT will enable a Chain of Trust (CoT) to address identity, trust and recovery considering the multiple entities in IoT systems: persons, IoT devices/objects and Apps/services. At last, ARCADIAN-IoT will enhance cybersecurity awareness of stakeholders through a cybersecurity training package.
Situated and distributed cognition in artifact negotiation and trade-specific skills: A cognitive ethnography of Kashmiri carpet weaving practice

This article describes various ways actors in Kashmiri carpet weaving practice deploy a range of artifacts, from symbolic, to material, to hybrid, in order to achieve diverse cognitive accomplishments in their particular task domains: information representation, inter and intra-domain communication, distribution of cognitive labor across people and time, coordination of team activities, and carrying of cultural heritage. In this repertoire, some artifacts position themselves as naïve tools in the actors’ environment to the point of being ignored; however, their usage-in-context unfolds their cognitive involvement in the tasks. These usages-in-context are shown through artifact analysis of their routine, improvised, and opportunistic uses, where cognitive artifacts like talim—the central artifact of this practice—are shown to play not only multifunctional roles beyond representation, but are also complemented by trade-specific skills bearing strong cognitive implications in a task.
