Scaling up educational innovations in schools

The European Educational Research Association has expressed serious concerns on quality and impact of educational research in Europe. The commonplace critique of educational research is that it is grounded in conventional assumptions about learning and teaching in a single setting, including the problems with fragmented and compartmentalized knowledge and lack of holistic view on learning, thus, failing to provide understandable input for improving learning and teaching and scaling up new practices and methods. Responsible Research and Innovation implies that stakeholders work together during the whole research and technology-driven innovation process in order to better adopt and scale up innovation. The project Scaling Up Educational Innovation in Schools (SEIS) will significantly strengthen educational innovation research not only in Estonia, but in the Baltic states and in wider Europe by taking educational research and innovation to the next level addressing RRI principles and current dominating limitations in the field.
The Twinning project SEIS aims at supporting the vision of Centre of Excellence in Educational Innovation (CEEI), Tallinn University, Estonia to become the leading and competitive research centre in educational research and innovation with the potential to influence educational innovation research and development among stakeholders in Estonia, Baltic States and in wider Europe. The overall objective of the SEIS project is:
•	to strengthen CEEI research and innovation capacity 
•	to promote the centre into the competitive institution in Estonia and wider Europe and 
•	to form basis for integrating its research activities further into international collaboration 
The objective of the SEIS project will be achieved through a partnership of the two Member States: Tampere Research Centre for Information & Media (TAU), University of Tampere, Finland and Centre for the Science of Learning & Technology (UiB), University of Bergen, Norway.
Roadway Safety System

A safety system to prevent a wrong-way vehicle from entering a roadway by driving onto an exit ramp in the wrong direction. A detection system monitors and detects the wrong-way vehicle as soon as it enters the exit ramp in the wrong direction. Upon detecting a wrong-way vehicle, the roadway safety system remotely sends a signal to turn off the motor of the wrong-way vehicle. The system may also record the vehicle's identification and communicate it to a command center to determine the mobile phone number of the owner/driver and call the driver to alert them that they are driving the wrong-way. Alternatively, a series of one or more penetrable and/or impenetrable barriers could be deployed to stop the wrong-way vehicle. The safety system may further include a communications system to communicate to a central office to initiate other alarms and control traffic on the roadway in response to detecting a wrong-way vehicle.
America Latina en Italia: odonimia, microtoponimia, antroponimia, crematonimia y deonimia

La percezione dell’America Latina in Italia può misurarsi anche attraverso qualità e quantità dei nomi geografici (coronimi, poleonimi, microtoponimi nesonimi, oronimi etc.) e degli antroponimi, dei crematonimi e delle voci deonimiche presenti nel lessico e in sintagmi lessicalizzati. Lo studio analizza quali nomi di nazioni, città, enti geografici, cognomi, nomi personali, soprannomi, nomi di insegne commerciali, voci lessicalizzate sono presenti nelle regioni e nelle città italiane, ove possibile indicandone le motivazione delle scelte. Tali scelte risultano legate alla grande migrazione degli italiani tra fine Ottocento e metà Novecento nel Sud America, all’interesse per le vicende storiche – in particolare le lotte indipendentiste – dei Paesi latinoamericani, alla curiosità di fronte a vegetali, animali, tessuti ecc. tipici, ad alcuni stereotipi culturali e di consumo come il caffè per il Brasile, la carne e il tango per l’Argentina, le ricchezze leggendarie per il Perù.
Privacy and accountability in networks via optimized randomized mix-nets

The objective of the PANORAMIX project is the development of a multipurpose infrastructure for privacy-preserving communications based on ""mix-networks"" (mix-nets) and its integration into high-value applications that can be exploited by European businesses. Mix-nets protect not only the content of communications from third parties, but also obscure the exact identity of the senders or receivers of messages, through the use of cryptographic relays. Mix-nets are absolutely necessary for implementing strong privacy-preserving systems and protocols. This project directly aims to realize, integrate and demonstrate the use of a European infrastructure for mix-nets in the context of three diverse high-value applications that have clear, measurable, realistic, and achievable objectives. Our objectives are as follows. (Objective 1): Building a Mix-Net Infrastructure for Europe, by creating a European mix-network open-source codebase and infrastructure, (Objective 2): apply our infrastructure to private electronic voting protocols, where anonymity is necessary to guarantee ballot secrecy, and verifiability is needed for holding fair, transparent and trustworthy elections; (Objective 3): apply our infrastructure to privacy-aware cloud data-handling, in the context of privacy-friendly surveying, statistics and big data gathering protocols, where protecting the identity of the surveyed users is necessary to elicit truthful answers and incentivize participation; (Objective 4): apply our infrastructure to privacy-preserving messaging, where two or more users may communicate privately without third parties being able to track what is said or who-is-talking-to-whom. PANORAMIX facilitates a genuine collaboration between academia, civil society and industry bringing together a team of researchers from academia with a proven track record on privacy technologies and industry in domains where privacy technologies can have a very high impact.
Repression of Dicer is associated with invasive phenotype and chemoresistance in ovarian cancer

Dicer is a key enzyme that processes microRNA (miRNA) precursors into their mature form, enabling them to regulate gene expression. However, the effects of Dicer on the biological behavior of cancer cells remain largely unclear. In this study, it was demonstrated that Dicer down-regulation promoted cell proliferation, migration and cell cycle progression in A2780 and SKOV3 ovarian cancer cells. Furthermore, Dicer expression was significantly decreased in cisplatin-resistant A2780 cells (A2780/DDP) compared with parental A2780 cells. Knockdown of Dicer by RNA interference decreased the sensitivity of A2780 cells to cisplatin. Moreover, EZH2 depletion by short hairpin RNA (shRNA) increased the expression of Dicer in vitro. Our data suggest that Dicer is involved in numerous biological/pathological processes, including drug resistance in ovarian cancer, and that its expression may be regulated by EZH2.

A pneumatic depth sensor system for remotely reporting on a depth of a body of fluid is provided. The system comprises a regulated source of compressed gas, a first pressure sensor upstream from a normally-closed electronic solenoid valve, a second pressure sensor downstream from the electronic solenoid valve and a bubbler outlet downstream from the second pressure sensor, the bubbler outlet for locating at a bottom of the body of fluid, the depth sensor system under control of a microprocessor, the microprocessor in electronic communication with the first and second pressure sensors and the normally-closed electronic solenoid valve, and configured to instruct the normally-closed electronic solenoid valve to be in a fully open position or a fully closed position and to rapidly change position in response to a pressure reading from the second pressure sensor.
Free-Space optomechanics with light-emitting materials

The coupling of electromagnetic radiation (photons) to mechanical waves (phonons) is at the heart of solid-state quantum photonics while phonon transport at different frequencies governs crucial physical phenomena ranging from thermal conductivity to the sensitivity of nano-electromechanical resonators. To engineer and control the overlap of light management with the mechanical vibrations of matter efficiently, we make use of very precisely fabricated nanometer-scale devices. The standard way of achieving this control is to use engineered defects in periodic structures - optomechanical crystals - where the electromagnetic field and the mechanical displacement can be confined simultaneously thus enhancing their interaction. However, despite its extraordinary potential, cavity optomechanics is suffering from the limitations induced by the experimental setup commonly used to address the mechanical modes, namely the difficulty to use integrable structures.

During this project, we will explore novel designs for optomechanical nanostructures and we will develop experimental methods to address the phononic and photonic modes of nanoscale objects from free-space, and thus get rid of the limitations imposed by fibres, which will in turn enable the incorporation of optically active materials in mechanical resonators. In particular, we will make use of embedded quantum light emnitters excited above-band optically. This will allow us to explore light-matter interaction in this novel platform ad get direct access to the photonic modes of the system. By exploring the frequency modulation of these photonic modes induced by optomechanical coupling, we expect to also have access to the confined mechanical vibrations of the structure. The investigation of these systems will have an important impact on quantum information and thermal transport as well as highly sensitive force, mass and displacement detection.
An AIDS Prevention Strategy Involving Rural General and Dental Practitioners

Primary health care personnel are ideally, situated to participate in AIDS prevention but are not effectively trained to do so. A survey is described in which GPs and dental practitioners were given literature on AIDS as well as condoms the distribution. After 6 months these doctors and dentists were evaluated and the overall results were very encouraging: a good response rate was achieved, most doctors used the information and found it useful and almost all would value continued education in this field. Larger scale intentions of this kind could be of great value in
equipping a larger group of health care personnel in this field, especially medical benefit scheme personnel: a large avenue which already exists covering about 1,3 million beneficiaries.
Potential Hazard Map for Disaster Prevention Using GIS-Based Linear Combination Approach and Analytic Hierarchy Method

In recent years, global warming has gradually become obvious, thus created the climate change. Typhoon Morakot attacked Taiwan and brought heavy rainfall in August, 2009. In mountainous areas including Central and South Taiwan, the flood and debris flow disasters were induced by the typhoon. In this study, Changhua City is selected as the research region and the Delphi method is employed to interview experts and establish comprehensive evaluation criteria for assessing the evacuation plan on disaster areas. The concept is to combine the landslide potential analysis by geographic information systems with the flood or debris flow maps into the potential hazard map. Meanwhile, analytic hierarchy method (AHP) is comprehensively carried on the expert questionnaire survey for the potential hazard map of the compound disaster states. It should be useful for the local government and native people in the future.
Hepatitis B virus genotyping: current methods and clinical implications

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major cause of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Eight different HBV genotypes have been identified with distinct geographical distributions. Different genotyping methods exist including sequencing, INNO-LiPA, restriction fragment polymorphism (RFLP), multiplex PCR, serotyping, oligonucleotide microarray chips, reverse dot blot, restriction fragment mass polymorphism (RFMP), invader assay, and real-time PCR. Several investigators have studied the influence of HBV genotypes on clinical outcomes in chronic HBV patients. This review describes the current genotyping techniques, as well as their advantages and limitations. It also presents the clinical evidence that correlates HBV genotypes to clinical outcomes including disease severity, HCC development, response to therapy, disease chronicity, transplantation outcomes, and occult infection.
Moving beyond the rational choice debate via social capital: The study of illegal private protection

In the context of the epistemological and methodological debates about rational choice (RC) sparked by Green and Shapiro and the subsequent rejoinders, Hindmoor made the theoretical claim that there is now an opportunity for RC to be enhanced and for past debates to be set aside by incorporating different theoretical perspectives into RC. This article presents an example of one context in which this can be done: the study of illegal private protection (IPP) produced by organised criminals and corrupt officials. It extends a rational theory of criminal protection to enable the simultaneous analysis of corrupt protection and augments this approach with theories of social capital (SC). Both positive and negative forms and effects of SC are considered. This approach highlights a middle ground between advocates and critics of RC, demonstrating a capacity to explain patterns in the production of IPP between organisations and across countries.针对格林、沙皮罗与弗里德曼的否定者所发起的有关理性选择的认识论及方法论论战，辛德摩尔提出一个理论主张：现在正可以通过吸纳不同的视角而弘扬理性...
Data-Driven tools for supporting and improving the decision-making processes of investors for financing innovative smes

InnoRate is set on deploying a trusted, objective and recognised service platform across the EU and AC to support and improve the decision-making processes of investors and lenders for vetting, prioritising and providing access to finance to innovative high growth potential SMEs. The suite of digitally-enabled decision support tools and services provided through our platform are underpinned by well-customised innovation assessment and rating methodologies that go beyond the unsuitable, backward-looking and costly practices currently employed, so as to evaluate and signal the technological and business potential and risks of market-creating innovations, efficiently and cost-effectively. To this end, we leverage semantic technology, existing data sources and in-depth human expertise, to minimise the time and resources (human and financial) required by investors and lenders in this respect, reducing knowledge / information asymmetries and ultimately risk premiums paid by innovative project managers. In doing so, our ambition is clearly to disrupt the largely risk-averse financial sector of the EU and AC, enhancing the innovation capacity of high growth technology sectors and SMEs, paving the way for drastical innovations to flourish and placing Europe in the forefront of the global innovation game. To put it simply, we want to bring innovation to finance and finance to innovation.

‘Expect the unexpected’: Implications of effectual logic on the internationalization process

Abstract International entrepreneurship literature has indicated that entrepreneurs often increase international activities along unexpected lines of reasoning without having a precise goal, resulting in “unplanned” internationalization. We argue that “unplanned” internationalization does not necessarily involve non-logical decisions; but, entrepreneurs can follow an effectual rather than causal logic and may base their decisions on the affordable loss principle rather than on the maximization of expected returns. Based on five case-studies, we discuss the implication of effectual decision-making on the internationalization process. We find that switching from causal to effectual logic allows firms to rapidly increase the level of commitment in the foreign market and could assist in overcoming liabilities of outsidership and, therefore, successfully increase the level of commitment in the foreign market.
Bioenergytrain

The development and adoption of renewable and sustainable energy has become a top priority in Europe, and is Horizon 2020’s most prominent theme. Research into new energy methods required to reduce humanity’s carbon footprint is an urgent and critical need, and is reliant upon a flow of newly qualified persons in areas as diverse as renewable energy infrastructure management, new energy materials and methods, and smart buildings and transport. Bioenergy is a particularly important field in this respect as it is at the cross-roads of several important European policies, from the Strategic Energy Technology Plan Roadmap on Education and Training (SET-Plan) to the European Bioeconomy Strategy to European Food Safety and Nutrition Policy. European development in this prioritised field is stalled due to a lack of qualified personnel, a lack of cohesion and integration among stakeholders, and poor linkage between professional training and industry needs. To address these problems, BioEnergyTrain brings together fifteen partners from six EU countries to create new post-graduate level curricula in key bioenergy disciplines, and a network of tertiary education institutions, research centres, professional associations, and industry stakeholders encompassing the whole value chain of bioenergy from field/forest to integration into the sustainable energy systems of buildings, settlements and regions. The project will foster European cooperation to provide a highly skilled and innovative workforce across the whole bioenergy value chain, closely following the recommendations of the SET-Plan Education Roadmap.
‘Reciprocal encounters’ - young adults leaving care

The objective of this proposal, ‘Reciprocal Encounters – Young Adults Leaving Care’, is not only to produce preventive, client-based social work guidelines regarding how to search for the best ways to support the well-being of young adults with substitute care experiences and the process of their deinstitutionalisation or leaving substitute care, but it will also use a complementary participatory research methodology to explore the research questions, undertaking research with young adults, not just on them, thus delivering user-driven results.

The study searches for solutions to improve social work policy–practice related to young adults’ participation, increase young adults’ awareness of the options to participate in welfare policy and social work policy–practice making and how to strengthen the young adults’ capabilities to act in their communities and help them obtain new skills that will be useful, for instance, in their working lives.

The objective of the proposal will be achieved through theory-building and methodological improvements concerning participatory research with young adults. The study is structured into two case studies with young adults who have left family or institutional care – one in the United Kingdom and one in Finland – representing different welfare states in Europe and their child welfare services. The data set for Finland already exists (n = 25), and a similar data set will be gathered for the UK (n = 25) following the same methods of participatory research as those used in Finland.

For the researcher, this project offers an invaluable opportunity to expand her knowledge of theory-building regarding reciprocal participation and well-being, and to gain skills in public engagement and research communication. The project also gives her unique opportunities to grow her international collaboration network and new links with related European and global networks through complementary academic and non-academic secondment/placements.
Has Globalization Changed the Phillips Curve? Firm-Level Evidence on the Effect of Activity on Prices

It has been recently argued that the flattening of the Phillips curve, observed in the main industrial countries over the last two decades, is due to globalisation, which exposes domestic firms to fiercer international competition and severs the link between domestic demand and pricing. A more traditional explanation, with very different policy implications, centres on an increase in the credibility of the monetary regime. Substantial identification problems plague the empirical literature on this issue. We take advantage of a unique dataset including firm-level information on the pricing, capacity utilisation, export orientation, foreign competition, import penetration and delocalisation activity of about 2,000 Italian firms in the period 1988-2005; we test whether the finding of a weaker link between capacity utilisation and prices is confirmed at company level, whether it is robust to controlling for inflation expectations and whether it is concentrated among those firms that are more exposed to globalisation. According to the evidence presented, this is not the case. The conclusion is that the observed flattening of the Phillips curve is not due to globalisation.
