Mating success follows duet dancing in the Java sparrow

Mutual interactions between sexes have multiple signalling functions. Duet singing in songbirds is related to mutual mate guarding, joint resource defence, and signalling commitment. Coordinated visual displays of mating pairs are thought to perform similar functions, but are less well understood. The current study evaluated mutual interactions in an Estrildid species to explore the relative importance of duet dancing and male singing in mating success of pairs in a first encounter. When Java sparrows (Lonchura oryzivora) court prospective mates, only males sing. However, both males and females perform courtship dances, often in a duet-like manner. These dances are typically terminated by female copulation solicitation displays (CSDs). In the current study, we observed higher mating success when courtship dances were mutually exchanged, and when males sang. However, the sex initiating the courtship did not affect mating success. Most females produced CSDs after duet dancing but before hearing the entire song, indicating that duet dancing played a crucial role in mating. This finding highlights an unexplored aspect of duetting behaviour in the process of mutual mate choice. These results conflict with the majority of past songbird research, which has interpreted songs as primary behavioural sexual signals.
Take a Breath! - Adaptation Actions to reduce adverse health impacts of air pollution 

With every breath we take risk of inhaling some very dangerous substances is unavoidable. Impacts of this can significantly influence our health and therefore it is not surprising that air pollution has become one of the most important issues we face today. World Health Organisation has identified that air pollution is a major problem, particularly in Central and Eastern parts of Europe. Air pollution impact at the local level however may be caused far away from where the main effects are realised. Additionally, it may be aggravated by the effects of climate change, particularly severe weather events. Air pollution contains particles suspended in the air, the three main sources of which are vehicle exhaust, industrial activities and the burning of fossil fuel. These can contribute to the development of various disorders which result in respiratory complaints and a deterred health. This can also undermine the competitiveness of a city/region by deterring the movement of people and enterprise to affected areas. Thus, air pollution impacts at different levels, spatially and temporally, in the home, health care systems and the workplace.

The TAB project responds directly to the concerns of reducing the effects of air pollution at the local level by focusing on the forces driving air pollution at the transnational level. The general objective of TAB is to reduce the adverse effects of air pollution originating from industrial production, road traffic and domestic heating on the health and quality of life of citizens in the partner cities/regions and also to limit the ways by which these may be exacerbated by extreme weather events induced by climate change.
[The effects of the Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool on pain assessment/management nursing practices in an intensive care unit with brain-injured critically ill patients].

Accurate pain assessment and management in critically ill patients withcognitive alterations who are unable to communicate constitute a major challenge for themedical and nursing staff of Intensive Care Units (ICUs). This study want assess the impact of Critical Care Pain Observation Tool (CCPOT) scale in ICU practice and evaluate the effects on pain assessment and management in brain-injured critically ill adult patients.This before-and-after study was carried out in an Italian ICU, where data were collected before (T0) and after (T1) implementation of the CCPOT in brain-injured critically ill adults.The study population consisted of 81 patients (35 before and 46 after intervention). The use of propofol fell significantly and at the same time the use of morphine increase significantly (morphine: t(80) = 1.51, p =.02) after intervention.Analysis of the data with respect to pain relief and prevention during some nursing care activities revealed a significant increase in the use of fentanyl citrate and paracetamol. Pain management was in line with the protocol, which envisaged administration of pain medications to patients with CCPOT scores less than 3 in 76.8% of cases.The present findings strongly support the value of the CCPOT scale in managing ICU patient pain in conjunction with medical and nursing staff training. However, further studies of larger patient samples should be performed.Una valutazione e gestione accurata del dolore nei pazienti in condizioni critiche con alterazioni cognitive non in grado di comunicare, costituiscono una grande sfida per il personale medico e infermieristico delle Terapie Intensive (TI). Questo studio vuole valutare l'impatto della scala CCPOT in TI, valutandone gli effetti sulla valutazione e gestione del dolore nei pazienti adulti con lesioni cerebrali.Questo studio before-after è stato condotto in una terapia intensiva italiana, in cui i dati sono stati raccolti prima (T0) e dopo (T1) l'implementazione dello strumento.La popolazione di studio era composta da 81 pazienti (35 prima e 46 dopo l'intervento). L'uso di propofol è diminuito in modo significativo e allo stesso tempo, l'uso della morfina è aumentata in modo significativo (morfina: t(80) = 1,51, p = .02) dopo il nostro intervento. L'analisi dei dati relativi al sollievo dal dolore e alla prevenzione durante alcune attività di assistenza infermieristica ha rivelato un aumento significativo dell'uso di fentanil citrato e paracetamolo. La gestione del dolore era in linea con il protocollo, che prevedeva la somministrazione di antidolorifici a pazienti con punteggi CCPOT infermieri a 3 nel 76.8% dei casi.I risultati supportano fortemente il valore della scala CCPOT nella gestione del dolore dei pazienti in terapia intensiva unitamente alla formazione del personale medico einfermieristico. Tuttavia, devono essere eseguiti ulteriori studi su campioni di pazienti didimensioni maggiori.

Dali server update

The Dali server (http://ekhidna2.biocenter.helsinki.fi/dali) is a network service for comparing protein structures in 3D. In favourable cases, comparing 3D structures may reveal biologically interesting similarities that are not detectable by comparing sequences. The Dali server has been running in various places for over 20 years and is used routinely by crystallographers on newly solved structures. The latest update of the server provides enhanced analytics for the study of sequence and structure conservation. The server performs three types of structure comparisons: (i) Protein Data Bank (PDB) search compares one query structure against those in the PDB and returns a list of similar structures; (ii) pairwise comparison compares one query structure against a list of structures specified by the user; and (iii) all against all structure comparison returns a structural similarity matrix, a dendrogram and a multidimensional scaling projection of a set of structures specified by the user. Structural superimpositions are visualized using the Java-free WebGL viewer PV. The structural alignment view is enhanced by sequence similarity searches against Uniprot. The combined structure-sequence alignment information is compressed to a stack of aligned sequence logos. In the stack, each structure is structurally aligned to the query protein and represented by a sequence logo.
Forest restoration on degraded lands in Laos

Deforestation and land-use change have been, and still are, major threats to biodiversity and ecosystem services in the tropics, and forest areas are being lost at high rates in many countries in Southeast Asia, including Laos. Progress in the development and application of forest policies and programs, coupled with increasing trends to end damaging practices associated with swidden cultivation have created opportunities to restore forests. However, there is little scientific knowledge pertaining to forest restoration in Laos. Thus, the studies presented in this thesis examined factors influencing the recovery of secondary forests on abandoned fallows and tested site-specific approaches to restore forests on fallows, former grazing lands and a logged-over mixed deciduous forest. The results showed that 29% of the species richness, 39% of the stem density, 18% of the total basal area, as well as 41% and 7% of the density and basal area of commercial tree species of the surrounding natural forest fragments were recovered within a 20-year fallow period. The major factors influencing recovery are the distance from the forest edge, the fallow history and competition from increased occurrence of bamboo. A mixed-species planting trial established on fallows showed that the use of a mixture of pioneer and later-successional species results in good ecological compatibility, as evidenced by > 70% survival rates and subsequent growth of all planted species. Further, the addition of rice husk biochar to improve soil fertility resulted in 1.2-fold increase in seedling and sapling growth compared to the control and its effect was comparable with that of inorganic fertilizer application. An experiment involving direct seeding of former grazing lands using four native species showed that seedling establishment success was better for later-successional species (59-65%) than pioneer species (3-13%), and the establishment success varied with methods of sowing, the nature of the seeds, the seeding rate and site factors. In addition, an enrichment planting trial, involving five early- and late-successional species and two planting methods, showed that the shade-tolerant dipterocarps had better survival and growth rates than the light-demanding legumes in gaps than planting lines. Overall, the studies provide an important contribution, representing a major advance in the evidence base for selecting appropriate methods to accelerate forest restoration in Laos and other seasonal tropical environments in order to meet key economic and environmental objectives.
Industrialization and commercialization of mass production processes for the texturing during moulding of dynamic seals in order to increase industrial equipment energy efficiency and durability

Softslide project's main objective is to generate €60 M revenue, an EBIDTA of €19,9M and 350 new jobs with the commercialization of SoftSlide's technology estimated from a conservative sub-market share of 15% of the total elastomeric and plastic dynamic seals European market. SoftSlide technology will positively impact the seal industry by providing around €3315 M/year in energy savings for hydraulic and pneumatic end-users. 
Energy losses caused by friction within dynamic seals in rotating, moving and reciprocating devices (e.g. motors, valves, air compressors, accumulators...) represent up to 25% of total energy consumption. In addition, dynamic seals related friction, damages the seal surface overtime, thus reducing its lifetime. Although, it is of common knowledge that low-friction dynamic seals can be obtained by specifically designing and engraving micro-patterns on the seal contact area (area in contact with the moving mechanism), current seals' mass production processes do not incorporate this crucial step. To get a low-friction dynamic seal, the micro-pattern needs to be individually engraved, seal by seal at an independent later stage, once the seal has been produced. This greatly increases the cost and limits the productivity of low-friction dynamic seals being impossible for end-users to include these in their systems. SoftSlide project has created a mass production process that transfers micro-patterns during moulding stage to obtain low-friction, high performing dynamic seals. This process can be easily adopted by dynamic seals manufacturers seals with an insignificant cost increase.
Climate Alteration in the Metropolitan Area of Bari: Temperatures and Relationship with Characters of Urban Context

Urban planning exerts influences on environmental, social and economic system related with the city. Processes of land transformation and city growth determine radical changes in urban landscape morphology and as a consequence they affect air temperature and energy exchange. The urbanization can bear on local climate more intensively than the global warming does. This is due to the rapidity of human made changes related to natural ones. The present work analyzes the state of the art of studies involved in studying urban climate anomalies – Urban Heat Islands (UHI) – in order to explore relationship between urban planning morphology and urban climate. The research aim wants to indentify how urban geometry can be related with climate alterations in order to provide guidelines for planners to frame urban form planning and environmental quality. The case study is the city of Bari, located on the coast of the Mediterranean sea, in Apulia, one of the regions in Italy.
The Environmental Impact Of The High-redshift (z=1.532) Radio-loud Quasar 3c270.1

Chandra X-ray observations of the high-redshift (z=1.532) radio-loud quasar 3C 270.1 taken in Feb 2008 show the nucleus to have a typical power-law spectrum with a weak, 170 eV, Fe Kα emission line. The data also reveal extended emission, about half of which is associated with the strong radio emission from this source while the remainder appears more diffuse. The radio-related X-ray emission is soft, consistent with inverse-Compton emission from an aging electron population. The southern emission is co-spatial with the radio lobe and peaks at the position of the double radio hotspot. Modelling of this hotspot with the inclusion of Spitzer upper limits rules out synchrotron emission from a single power-law population of electrons, favoring inverse-Compton emission (SSC) with a field of 20 nT, 45% below equipartition. The northern emission is concentrated close to the location of a 40 deg. bend where the radio jet is presumed to encounter the ICM. It can be explained by iC/CMB emission with a field of 5 nT, 20% of the equipartition field. The remaining, more diffuse emission is harder (HR=-0.09+/-0.22). With only 22.8+/-5.6 counts, the spectral form cannot be constrained. If we assume thermal emission, and a temperature of 4 keV, we estimate a luminosity of 1.8E44 erg/s, consistent with the luminosity-temperature relation of lower-redshift clusters. However deeper Chandra X-ray observations are required to delineate the spatial distribution, better constrain the spectrum of the diffuse emission and so confirm/not the presence of X-ray emission from a cluster.

Regional Actors in Interreg cooperation

Problems addressed
•  Planning and management procedures of Interreg III programmes differ substantially 
•  Integration of Interreg results into regional planning and full involvement of local level lack
•  Project quality (design, management, partnership building and consistency with regional and national policies) varies considerably

Objectives
• to contribute to the improvement of the management procedures in the various Interreg Programmes
• to improve the management capability of NUTS II administrations of Interreg Programmes, strands A, B, C
• to improve the quality of projects developed on Interreg III programmes (design, implementation, participation)

Approach and methodology
o an operative approach, through 
- the creation of a format to allow an homogeneous data collection (statistical data and existing studies); 
-  - the identification of common parameters in order to allow a comparative analysis of the partners’ experience and find out the most relevant praxis among the project partners
o a participative approach, enabling the participation of the relevant stakeholders, through
- the identification of a range of dissemination activities used by every Partner to foster participation and awareness in Interreg Initiative; 
- the exchange of good practices
o methodology: experiences from each region at programme and project level will be analysed in parallel (Main activities 1 and 2). Then, the best practices identified (main activity 3) will be the basis for the development of tools (main activity 4) whose functioning will be evaluated by all partners. Finally, all products will be disseminated to a wider audience (main activity 5).
The path to interferometry in space

For over two decades, astronomers have considered the possibilities for interferometry in space. The first of these missions was the Space Interferometry Mission (SIM), but that was followed by missions for studying exoplanets (e.g Terrestrial Planet Finder, Darwin), and then far-infrared interferometers (e.g. the Space Infrared Interferometric Telescope, the Far-Infrared Interferometer). Unfortunately, following the cancellation of SIM, the future for space-based interferometry has been in doubt, and the interferometric community needs to reevaluate the path forward. While interferometers have strong potential for scientific discovery, there are technological developments still needed, and continued maturation of techniques is important for advocacy to the broader astronomical community. We review the status of several concepts for space-based interferometry, and look for possible synergies between missions oriented towards different science goals.
Molecular pathophysiology of portal hypertension

Over the past two decades the advances in molecular cell biology have led to significant discoveries about the pathophysiology of portal hypertension (PHT). In particular, great progress has been made in the study of the molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate the increased intrahepatic vascular resistance (IHVR) in cirrhosis. We now know that the increased IHVR is not irreversible, but that both the structural component caused by fibrosis and the active component caused by hepatic sinusoidal constriction can be, at least partially, reversed. Indeed, it is now apparent that the activation of perisinusoidal hepatic stellate cells, which is a key event mediating the augmented IHVR, is regulated by multiple signal transduction pathways that could be potential therapeutic targets for PHT treatment. Furthermore, the complexity of the molecular physiology of PHT can also be appreciated when one considers the complex signals capable of inducing vasodilatation and hyporesponsiveness to vasoconstrictors in the splanchnic vascular bed, with several vasoactive molecules, controlled at multiple levels, working together to mediate these circulatory abnormalities. Added to the complexity is the occurrence of pathological angiogenesis during the course of disease progression, with recent emphasis given to understanding its molecular machinery and regulation. Although much remains to be learned, with the current availability of reagents and new technologies and the exchange of concepts and data among investigators, our knowledge of the molecular basis of PHT will doubtless continue to grow, accelerating the transfer of knowledge generated by basic research to clinical practice. This will hopefully permit a better future for patients with PHT.
European expert consensus on practical management of specific aspects of parathyroid disorders in adults and in pregnancy: recommendations of the ESE Educational Program of Parathyroid Disorders (PARAT 2021)

This European expert consensus statement provides recommendations for the diagnosis and management of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), chronic hypoparathyroidism in adults (HypoPT), and parathyroid disorders in relation to pregnancy and lactation. Specified areas of interest and unmet needs identified by experts at the second ESE Educational Program of Parathyroid Disorders (PARAT) in 2019, were discussed during two virtual workshops in 2021, and subsequently developed by working groups with interest in the specified areas. PHPT is a common endocrine disease. However, its differential diagnosing to familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH), the definition and clinical course of normocalcemic PHPT, and the optimal management of its recurrence after surgery represent areas of uncertainty requiring clarifications. HypoPT is an orphan disease characterized by low calcium concentrations due to insufficient PTH secretion, most often secondary to neck surgery. Prevention and prediction of surgical injury to the parathyroid glands are essential to limit the disease-related burden. Long-term treatment modalities including the place for PTH replacement therapy and the optimal biochemical monitoring and imaging surveillance for complications to treatment in chronic HypoPT, need to be refined. The physiological changes in calcium metabolism occurring during pregnancy and lactation modify the clinical presentation and management of parathyroid disorders in these periods of life. Modern interdisciplinary approaches to PHPT and HypoPT in pregnant and lactating women and their newborns children are proposed. The recommendations on clinical management presented here will serve as background for further educational material aimed for a broader clinical audience, and were developed with focus on endocrinologists in training.
