The enemy of the good: towards a theory of moral progress

According to the currently dominant account of moral progress, the story of moral progress goes something like this: once, moral recognition used to be the privilege of a select few. Full moral status was only accorded to people of a certain class, age, gender, ethnicity, or religion. Over time, the moral franchise was gradually extended, however imperfectly, to include human beings of all races, creeds, or genders. Eventually, even species membership is recognized as morally irrelevant, and the moral circle is extended towards non-human animals as well. Many influential ethicists call this the “expanding circle” of moral concern. Moral progress, on this account, consists in further expansions of the moral realm beyond ethically arbitrary features. This account, however, faces a serious feasibility problem: our moral concern is limited due to features of our evolved psychology. Empathy is parochial; altruism remains tied to friends and kin. This project will develop an alternative theory of moral progress. By focusing on different forms of moral progress other than the expanding circle, different moral attitudes which are not subject to the same evolutionary constraints, and smart institutions that can bypass the limits of our inherited psychology, it will be shown that the prospects of moral progress have been severely underestimated.

Towards flow-through/flow injection electronic tongue for the analysis of pharmaceuticals

Abstract The learning process (calibration) of electronic tongue (ET) systems involves the acquisition of a large number of data. The introduction of continuous-flow methods, including flow-through and flow injection analysis, can significantly streamline and simplify the calibration process. However, the performance characteristics of the sensors based on the same receptor layers differ in various modes of measurements. In this work, the performances of the potentiometric sensors working in various sensor array configurations i.e. classical, batch set-up, flow-through set-up and flow injection analysis (FIA) set-up were determined. Moreover, the classification capabilities of the designed ET systems were compared on the basis of the differentiation between pharmaceutical samples of pure Ibuprofen and Ibuprofen modified with various co-spray dried excipients.
REASONS FOR DELAYED UTILIZATION OF CATARACT SURGERY AMONG PATIENTS ATTENDING A TERTIARY REFERRAL CENTRE, MAHARASHTRA.

BACKGROUND: Cataract is a major cause of vision impairment in many low-income settings. Cataract blindness is a disease which has severe economic repercussions and adversely affects the productivity of country. However, despite rapid increase in the availability of quality services, surgical acceptance is still low in some segments of society. AIM: To study the various reasons for delayed utilization of cataract surgery. METHODS: In this cross sectional study 450 patients above 40 years of age who were admitted in ophthalmology ward for cataract surgery were enrolled by systematic random sampling technique. Socio-demographic data was collected by interviews in local language on predesigned and semi structured proforma. The various reasons for delayed utilization of cataract surgery were asked to them. Statistical tests applied were chi square test and percentages. RESULTS: Majority of the study subjects were illiterate females above 60 years of age belonging to lower socioeconomic status. Most of the study subjects were Hindus from rural area having unilateral blindness. The various reasons for delayed utilization of cataract surgery were economic problems (76.7%), ignorance by patient (29.1%), fear of operation (26.4%), ignorance by head of family (22.4%) and suspicion about improvement of vision after surgery (21.5%). Some subjects gave reasons as lack of accompanying person, fear of surgery causing death, lack of time, its God will and lack of transport. CONCLUSION: The predominant reason for delayed utilization of cataract surgery was economic constraints. Other reasons were ignorance by patients and head of family, fear of operation and death, suspicion about improvement of vision, God's will, lack of accompanying person and lack of transport.
Quantitative evaluation of software packages for single-molecule localization microscopy

The quality of super-resolution images obtained by single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) depends largely on the software used to detect and accurately localize point sources. In this work, we focus on the computational aspects of super-resolution microscopy and present a comprehensive evaluation of localization software packages. Our philosophy is to evaluate each package as a whole, thus maintaining the integrity of the software. We prepared synthetic data that represent three-dimensional structures modeled after biological components, taking excitation parameters, noise sources, point-spread functions and pixelation into account. We then asked developers to run their software on our data; most responded favorably, allowing us to present a broad picture of the methods available. We evaluated their results using quantitative and user-interpretable criteria: detection rate, accuracy, quality of image reconstruction, resolution, software usability and computational resources. These metrics reflect the various tradeoffs of SMLM software packages and help users to choose the software that fits their needs.
Bosolog – multi-sensors and assets' log monitoring and management software

The Internet of Things (IoT) is foreseen to enable similar changes as the Internet revolution, making the physical world as
economically liquid, personalized and efficient as the digital one. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) – IoT in industrial
applications – is arguably the biggest driver of productivity and growth in the next decade, forecasted to add up to US$14.2
trillion to the global economy by 2030.
Bosolog Aps has developed a smart solution that targets existing, unmet needs in the IIoT booming market – an innovative
system for real time monitoring of business critical and/or valuable equipment from the manufacturer to the end-user, both
during storage transportation, and at the user site. Our innovative concept encompasses elements such as: fully automated
business logics, accurate mapping; real-time monitoring of several parameters and personal alerting by exceptions;
proactive maintenance; and support to tactical and operational decision-making.
Despite the successful initial demonstration (that led to TRL6), several risks and technology barriers remain concerning the
reliability and scalability of the solution. Particularly, there is a great need for demonstration in operational environments to
open up new markets. Bosolog firmly believes that a two-phase approach under EU-funding is the ideal scenario, in order to
initially assess the market for concept feasibility before initiating the innovation project.
Bosolog estimates (for a specific customer using our technology) up to €1 million in annual cost savings, through an increase
in equipment productivity, workforce efficiency, and equipment lifetime; as well as by reducing equipment defects, downtime,
inventory costs, and unplanned outages.
Moreover, the successful implementation of Bosolog will also significantly contribute to the company growth – based on the
estimated market potential, we expect a total aggregated turnover exceeding €41 million, 5 years after market introduction

Evaluation of CO2 gasification kinetics for low-rank Indian coals and biomass fuels

Gasification of solid fuels such as coals, lignite and biomasses has been studied using isothermal and non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis (TG) with CO2 as gasifying agent. Non-isothermal TG of three Indian coals (two bituminous and one sub-bituminous coal), one lignite and two biomass fuels (Casuarina and empty fruit bunches) at a constant heating rate of 20 °C min−1 in the temperature range from 25 to 1200 °C showed a clear separation of DTG peaks associated with pyrolysis and CO2 gasification. Based on these studies, isothermal TG experiments were conducted in the temperature range from 900 to 1100 °C for coals and from 800 to 1000 °C for biomass fuels. These results show that the CO2 gasification rate follows coal rank for the three coals and the lignite. The two biomasses have significantly higher reactivities than the three coals. The higher reactivity of one coal is attributed to the presence of calcium-containing minerals in its inorganic matter. The kinetic parameters for each fuel were extracted from the isothermal TG results using the volumetric reaction model for the coals and a zeroth-order model for biomass fuels. Biomass and lignite are found to have a much higher reactivity index and much lower conversion time than the three coals under identical conditions.
Peptidomimetics with photocontrolled biological activity

The expertise, resources and specific knowledge of all participating parties will be combined to achieve a breakthrough in design, synthesis and application of peptide analogues (peptidomimetics) possessing photo-controlled biological activities, with special emphasis on anti-microbial and anti-cancer activities. The main idea behind the Project consists in chemical incorporation of artificial photo-controllable building blocks into known biologically active peptides by replacing their natural building blocks – the amino acid residues. Such a modification would provide photocontrolled  peptidomimetics which can reversibly change their structure between two different photo-forms upon irradiation with light of different wavelength. The participating parties possess general know-how for design of the peptidomimetics which can exist in two photo-forms, biologically active and inactive ones, reversibly interconvertible by light of different wavelength. This opens a possibility to convert inactive peptidomimetics to active compounds by irradiation with physiologically benign light directly in tissues with very high spatiotemporal precision and can be a fundamental basis of new therapeutic strategies. The research staff exchange and other activities planned under the Project will be dedicated to accomplish four complementary work packages: (i) carrying out pharmacokinetic and toxicity studies of the photocontrolled peptidomimetics synthesized by the parties previously; (ii) evaluation of novel photocontrolled building block chemotypes for their compatibility with peptides; (iii) creation of new photocontrolled peptidomimetics, especially based on the novel building blocks and the know-how developed by the parties (e.g. using “stapled peptides” technology); (iv) multidisciplinary training of the researchers whose future work will be aimed at further development of the most advanced photocontrolled peptidomimetics  as drugs suitable for photodynamic therapy.

Bioenergy sustaining the future (bestf) 3

This ERA-NET Co-fund will bring together a number of national and transnational organisations with an interest in promoting the greater use of bioenergy. It follows on from two previous BESTF ERA-NET Plus initiatives launched in 2013 and, like its predecessors, aims to kick-start large scale investment in close-to-market implementation of bioenergy, thereby helping to achieve the key objectives of the European Industrial Bioenergy Initiative (EIBI) Implementation Plan  and the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan.
The EIBI aims to boost the contribution of sustainable bioenergy to the 2020 climate and energy objectives. 
This proposal addresses the need for integrated action across Europe to promote the development of bioenergy demonstrators across a number of technologies by coordinating research and development projects and providing a financial mechanism to support projects that are close to commercialisation.
The overall aim for this third BESTF ERA-NET is to implement a joint programme for bioenergy demonstration projects to demonstrate enhanced bioenergy technologies that will help Europe progress towards achieving its 2016 and 2020 targets. It will leverage public-private partnerships to manage the risks and share the financing of close to market bioenergy projects. 

The key objectives of BESTF3 are:
1.To implement a single collaborative funding call that will support projects focused on the generation of bioenergy. 
2.To maintain and enhance coherence and networking between national bioenergy programmes across the EU.
3.To further the demonstration of enhanced bioenergy technologies in order to help develop robust project plans for a range of demonstrator and flagship plants, that will help Europe to make progress towards achieving its 2016 and 2020 energy targets. 
4.To disseminate knowledge gained from the programme and individual projects across the EU.
Open architectures for intelligent solid state lighting systems

Following the trends of the creation of the “The Internet of Things” (IoT) and the rapid penetration of SSL based lighting, it is
very advantageous to connect the luminaires in buildings to the Internet.
OpenAIS aims at setting the leading standard for inclusion of lighting for professional applications in to IoT, with a focus on
office lighting. This will enable a transition from the currently existing closed and command oriented lighting control systems
to an open and service oriented system architecture. Openness and service orientation will create an eco-system of
suppliers of interoperable components and a market for apps that exploit the lighting system to add value beyond the lighting
function. Added value can e.g. be related to more efficient use of the building, reduction of carbon footprint and increased
comfort and wellbeing. In addition, IoT will facilitate smooth and effective interaction of the lighting system with other
functions in a building such as e.g. HVAC, security and access control. Extensibility and security of the system architecture
are important aspects and will be guaranteed.
The OpenAIS project will define the requirements and use cases for offices in 2020, define the best open system
architecture, identify existing ICT components to be used and develop additional components. The system will be validated
by a pilot installation in a real office setting. After the OpenAIS project, the Consortium will pursue standardization of the
system architecture, aiming at the creation of the leading standard for Internet connected lighting.
The project brings together a strong collaboration of the leading lighting companies Zumtobel, Tridonic, and Philips and the
major players in IoT technology ARM, NXP and Imtech. Consortium partner Johnson Controls represents the end user and
academic knowledge on ICT and system architecture is present through TU/e and TNO-ESI. During the project, the
Consortium will seek close cooperation with the IoT community.
Congenital left intrahepatic bile duct draining into gastric wall mimicking biliary reflux gastritis

Abnormalities and variations of the biliary ducts are not rare. Most aberrant bile ducts eventually drain into the descending part of duodenum through the papilla of vater. However, drainage of the left hepatic bile duct into the stomach is extremely rare. A 29-year old man was admitted to the hospital with the diagnosis of biliary reflux gastritis. Comprehensive imaging modalities were performed including electronic endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasonography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and magnetic resonance cholangio-pancreatography. Finally, congenital ectopic left intrahepatic bile duct draining into the stomach was found, which caused biliary reflux gastritis. The patient did not receive any surgery. Good recovery was achieved by medical treatment.
METHODS AND DEVICES FOR ESTIMATION OF INDUCTION MOTOR INDUCTANCE PARAMETERS

Methods and devices are presented herein for estimating induction motor inductance parameters based on instantaneous reactive power. The induction motor inductance parameters, e.g., the stator inductance and the total leakage factor, can be estimated from motor nameplate data and instantaneous reactive power without involving speed sensors or electronic injection circuits. In one embodiment, the method includes: measuring voltages and currents; converting the measured voltages and currents into discrete-time voltage and current samples by analog-to-digital converters; synthesizing a complex voltage from the discrete-time voltage samples; synthesizing a complex current from the discrete-time current samples; acquiring and storing motor nameplate data; detecting instantaneous rotor speed by calculating an instantaneous rotor slot harmonic frequency with respect to an instantaneous fundamental frequency; calculating, via an induction motor inductance estimator, the motor's instantaneous reactive power and other intermediate quantities; and outputting the stator inductance and the total leakage factor.
Sport for All? Insight into stratification and compensation mechanisms of sporting activity in the 27 European Union member states

Physical activity is an important public health issue and the benefits of an active lifestyle in relation to well-being and health have been strongly emphasised in recent years in Europe, as well as in most parts of the world. However, previous research has shown that physical activity within Europe and its member states is stratified. The present article gains insight into: (1) the geographical stratification; and (2) the social stratification of physical activity in the 27 European Union member states in 2005. Special attention is given to sporting activity in comparison to other forms of physical activity (transport, occupation and household). By doing this we intend to develop a picture of physical activity, in particular sporting activity, within the European Union. In addition, we want to verify whether low sporting activity levels are counterbalanced by other pieces of the total ‘menu of physical activities’. Based on Eurobarometer data from 2005 (N=26,688), bivariate analyses show that 4 out of 10...
The world’s first automated laximetry device that replicates daily movements and activities through a dynamic test.

The knee is the largest, and one of the most complex and fragile joints in the human body, and the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of its core components. The ACL is vital to healthy knee function, stabilising the joint throughout its range of motion. 
In order to diagnose ACL injuries, the current gold standard is the Lachman’s test, which measures the ‘laxity’ (looseness) of the ligaments in the knee. Often done by hand, this is a reliable process when carried out by a specialist such as an orthopaedist. In contrast, general practitioners (GPs) and other non-specialists require x-ray or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams to confirm their diagnosis. However, waiting periods for mechanised tests in the EU are long, sometimes entirely unpredictable, due to limited equipment availability and the need to prioritise emergency cases.

To overcome this, Genourob has developed Dyneelax, which is the first medical device for automated dynamic laximetry measurement. Dyneelax carries out objective and reproducible Lachman’s tests and rotational exams to assess the laximetry of the ACL. Automation and standardisation of this non-invasive, quantitative testing allows the diagnosis and prognosis of ACL injury and recovery status. It is independent of examinations such as x-ray and MRI scans and it can be used also by non-specialists such as GPs. This means quicker, more effective treatment for better recovery of patients. 

At Genourob our mission is to transform the clinical protocol for diagnosing and prognosis of ACL injuries. In this way, GPs would be patients’ main point of contact with the healthcare system, replacing the need to wait for an MRI scan or x-ray for ACL injuries’ treatment. The SME Instrument grant is ideal for completing our product roadmap as it will enable our post-market surveillance to be carried out, to allow us to make the clinical claim that Dyneelax is an effective substitute for MRI scans in diagnosing and evaluating injuries to the ACL
