Feasibility of ultrafiltration membranes for removal of antibiotic resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes from secondary effluents from wastewater treatment plants

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) guarantee that contaminated water is released back to the environment in safe conditions. However, due to the rise in antibiotic consumption all over the world, they have become hotspots for the development of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens is responsible for the death of thousands of people every year and thus, a high-priority issue for the WHO and the EU. The use of ultrafiltration membranes as physical post-treatment is considered a promising solution for the effective removal of ARB and eARGs from WWTP effluents. However, this alternative has been studied to a limited extent and many questions remain to be tackled. FULLREMOVAL is a training-through-research project aimed at filling these knowledge gaps by investigating:  a) the abundance of ARB and eARGs in a local WWTP together with the capacity of eARGs to transform non-resistant bacteria (specific objective-SO1), b) the efficiency of ultrafiltration membranes to remove ARB and eARGs from secondary effluents (SO2) and c) the role of biofouling layer formation for the spread of ARB and eARGs (SO3). The interdisciplinary approach of the hereby presented project combines advanced water technology with innovative microbiological analyses and will help to find mitigation strategies for one of the major global health threats of this century. FULLREMOVAL’s achievements will be beneficial for sanitary services all over Europe as well as adjacent sectors such as the pharmaceutical industry and water resource management. Above all, the whole society will benefit from shedding light on this important public health issue.The experience and prestige of the UFZ in conducting environmental research in all of its facets combined with the scientific expertise of the fellow in membrane technology will make the perfect tandem for the successful development of FULLREMOVAL.
Radiosensitivity, liquid-holding recovery and relative biological effectiveness of densely-ionizing radiation after repeated irradiation of yeast cells

Experimental results described earlier showed significantly larger relative biological effectiveness (RBE) values for wild-type diploid cells in comparison with radiosensitive mutants. This aspect was further studied in this paper. Diploid yeast cells were irradiated with gamma rays from (60)Co and alpha particles from (239)Pu in the stationary phase of cell growth. Survival curves and the kinetics of the liquid-holding recovery were measured. When the irradiated cells had completely recovered from potentially lethal damage, they were again exposed to radiation and allowed post-irradiation recovery. The procedure was repeated three times. By use of a quantitative approach - describing the process of recovery as a decrease in the effective radiation dose -, the probability of recovery per unit time and the proportion of irreversibly damaged cells were quantitatively estimated. It was shown that the irreversible fraction of cell injury was increased after repeated exposures to gamma rays, from 0.4 after the first irradiation to 0.7 after the third exposure. The effect was more clearly expressed after exposure to densely ionizing radiation, the corresponding values being 0.5 and 1.0. In contrast, the recovery constant did not depend on the number of repeated irradiations and only slightly depended on radiation quality. It is suggested that the process of recovery from potentially lethal radiation damage itself is not impaired after repeated exposures to both low- and high-LET radiations, and the decrease in the ability of the cell to recover from radiation damage is mainly explained by the increase in the proportion of irreversibly damaged cells.
Service Quality and Patients Satisfaction with Healthcare Delivery: Empirical Evidence from Patients of the Out Patient Department of a Public University Hospital in Ghana

The objectives that guided the paper were to examine the quality dimensions and patient satisfaction with healthcare delivery. The study was a cross- sectional survey that adopted the convenience sampling technique to select 400 out – patients in a public university hospital in Ghana. The data gathered were used to examine the psychometric properties of the SERVQUAL dimensions. Findings revealed gaps across all the SERVQUAL dimensions with responsiveness (-. 762) having the widest gap, followed by reliability (-. 678), tangibility (-. 609), empathy (-.576) and assurance (-.537).             The Pearson’s correlational matrix further showed that perceived assurance (r = .349, p < .05), perceived tangibility (r = .327, p < .05), perceived empathy (r = .384, p < .05), perceived responsiveness (r = .400, p < .05) and perceived reliability (r = -.018, p = n.s). The study indicated that patients’ satisfaction was best explained by perceived responsiveness, followed by perceived empathy, perceived assurance, perceived tangibility, and perceived reliability. The study will be of interest to hospital administrators, stakeholders and academicians investigating the relationships between the SERVQUAL dimensions and patient satisfaction using the hierarchical regression model.

Observations during a tour to the Lakes of Lancashire, Westmoreland, and Cumberland

In 1794, Ann Radcliffe set off on a tour of the Lake District. She was at the very height of her fame, having already published three of her most successful Gothic novels. Her 'Observations during a Tour to the Lakes' provides an important stepping-stone in the journey from picturesque tourism to Wordsworth's development of a poetics of place from 1799 onwards. Though 'Observations' has been marginalised within subsequent accounts of Lakes literature, it was well-known in Romantic contexts and remained at the forefront of cultural accounts of the Lakes for many years, informing both Thomas De Quincey and John Keats's expectations about the region prior to their own encounters with this landscape.
How can surgical training benefit from theories of skilled motor development, musical skill acquisition and performance psychology?

• Trainee surgeons must acquire expert status in the context of reduced hours, reduced operating room time and the need to learn complex skills involving screen-mediated techniques, computers and robotics. • Ever more sophisticated surgical simulation strategies have been helpful in providing surgeons with the opportunity to practise, but not all of these strategies are widely available. • Similarities in the motor skills required in skilled musical performance and surgery suggest that models of music learning, and particularly skilled motor development, may be applicable in training surgeons. • More attention should be paid to factors associated with optimal arousal and optimal performance in surgical training — lessons learned from helping anxious musicians optimise performance and manage anxiety may also be transferable to trainee surgeons. • The ways in which the trainee surgeon moves from novice to expert need to be better understood so that this process can be expedited using current knowledge in other disciplines requiring the performance of complex fine motor tasks with MJA 2011; 194: 463–465 high cognitive load under pressure.

OPEN PORE CERAMIC MATRIX FOAMS COATED WITH METAL OR METAL ALLOYS AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME

Open pore foams are coated with metal or metal alloys by electrolytic or electroless plating. The characteristics of the plating bath are adjusted to decrease the surface tension such that the plate bath composition can pass into the pores of the foam, preferably at least two and most preferably more than five pores in depth from the surface of the foam matrix. This can be accomplished by adding a surfactant, solvent or other constituent to reduce the surface tension of the plate bath. In addition, heat and pressure can be used to drive in the plate bath composition into the passage ways of connected open pores in the foam matrix. The net result is to plate the inside surfaces of the pores in the foam matrix, while maintaining the passageways through the foam. Pretreatment of the pore surfaces can be used to promote adhesion of the metal. Particularly advantageous results are achieved when the foam matrix is a ceramic foam.
Six Worlds of Tomorrow

Images of the future are presented to popular culture not as academic studies, but as stories in various literary and cinematic forms. Six generic narrative visions of the future are identified: progress and utopia, anti-utopia, dystopia, conflict and revolution, collapse, and apocalypse. These narrative accounts have the power to inspire and excite action through psychological processes described here. Given this potential, it is important to be able to critique the simplistic thinking about the future that such visions represent. One generic criticism reviewed here is historicism; beyond that, each paradigmatic vision is critiqued specifically on its own terms. The potential biasing effects of these paradigms on future studies is considered.

Development of emerging contaminants – hybrid soft sensor for on-line monitoring of contaminants of emerging concern in water

The water resources and especially the drinking water in Europe and globally face new challenges with the emerging micropollutants, originating from pharmaceuticals, personal care products, plastics, flame retardants, etc. Even though they present in extremely low concentrations and do not exhibit acute toxicity to living organisms or environment, the long-term effects are uncertain. The water and wastewater treatment plants do not fully remove or eliminate them; thus, they accumulate in the water resources leading to higher concentrations increasing the health and environmental risks. Hence, the revisions of the EU drinking and wastewater directives are anticipated to require monitoring and control of these substances. 

However, that poses a challenge to the water utilities in Europe; The current analytical and monitoring systems of detection of these compounds at low concentration are expensive, time-consuming and usually complicated. Current studies have only reported the fate of these substances during various treatment processes but not on how to optimise them to maximise removal. To solve this problem, we would like to combine the expertise of the host research group and fellow applicant—the group of prof. Ratnaweera has experience in the development of real-time control and monitoring systems, while the fellow applicant is specialised in the analysis and removal of emerging contaminants during treatment processes. Thus, the global objective is to develop novel, cost-effective and simple to use surveillance system that would also enable the optimising of the removal of emerging contaminants in water. The concept will be developed and verified in collaboration with Norwegian and European water utilities addressing their needs and concerns.
Evolutionary and developmental origin of the nervous system

Little is known about the genetic and developmental mechanisms that led to the evolution of the nervous system in the ancestors of eumetazoans. We plan to address the issue by studying a basal metazoan - the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis. The cnidarians are a sister group to bilaterians and possess a surprising complexity of genetic network, yet a relatively simple overall morphology including a diffuse nervous system. By studying the neural progenitors, we aim to address the problem from a developmental point of view. We propose to employ the state-of-the-art technology (transcriptome sequencing, in vivo imaging, transgenesis) in order to gain insight into the molecular characteristics of neural progenitors of Nematostella and to understand how the different populations of neural progenitors relate to neuronal diversity present in Nematostella. We will also analyse the function of a neural progenitor marker SoxB2, among others, in order to determine the role in the genetic hierarchy of the formation of the first nervous systems. Last, we will perform a comparative analysis of Nematostella neural progenitor make up with other cnidarians and bilaterians. This will elucidate the common and distinct features of cnidarian and bilateral nervous systems, which in turn will enable us to reconstruct the common ancestor.
Advanced analysis of polymersome and exosome hybrids for potential application in therapeutics and diagnostics

Biological vesicles hold great promise as nano compartments for various applications such as drug delivery systems, therapeutics, and diagnostic tools but fundamental relationships between material properties and activity are not sufficiently understood to create new products for the benefits of the European society. The overall aim of USOME is to develop characterization approaches for these novel materials enabling proper functionalisation. In particular, this proposal focuses on the development of an entirely novel analytical approach for the analysis of emerging biohybrid vesicles. As model systems we indicate polymersome-hybrids and exosome-hybrids, representing a variation in structure in terms of stability, origin (synthetic/natural) and their hybrid counterparts (proteins/synthetic polymers). Two processes will be studied in detail (i) the encapsulation of proteins in polymersomes; and (ii) the modification of exosomes with proteins and polymers. As a result, advanced analytical methods for characterization of polymersome and exosome hybrids for potential application in therapeutics and diagnostics will be established. The key to this envisaged breakthrough is based on field flow fractionation technique coupled to multiple detectors for elucidation of the structural and compositional distributions in the biohybid systems. 
This highly topical research will be performed within the individual fellowship of a young, very talented, and curiosity-driven African researcher in a leading European research institute. The combination of his expertise in analytical techniques, the biohybrids formation knowledge of IPF and specific knowledge of the associated partners will enable significant scientific progress in the field and unlocks value for patients. Excellent, customized training will open the ER the doors to a unique research profile, fully embedded in the international scientific community and with outstanding career chances at the fronteers of research.

Intelligent control system based on smart textiles to reduce pressure injury risk by real time measure of tissue viability, and intelligent trigger of prevention strategies adapted to user and context

85% of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) patients will develop a Pressure Injury (PI), and 8% of them will die due to associated complications. PI treatment costs €20 billion per year to the European Public Health System (EPHS), uses a lot of resources (e.g. caregivers and hospital beds) and causes injuries to the caregivers that perform repositioning of the patients, resulting in compensation costs and extra human resource reduction. PI are preventable, however 38% of PI appear using current commercial prevention devices because PI risk assessment is only based on pressure instead of Tissue Viability (TV) which also takes into account user status and context. The aim of this project is to demonstrate in operational environment, produce and commercialise in the Assistive Technology market LiveRest system, a disruptive ICT solution that is able to avoid the development of PI, being the only device on the market that clinically demonstrates PI prevention. LiveRest will be embedded on a personalised wheelchair, and its novelties are: a) to measure PI risk in real time based on TV with impedance, pressure, temperature and humidity textile sensors; b) to decide the best combination of PI prevention strategies based on risk, user and context; and c) to perform the selected strategy based on combined actuation systems. LiveRest is aligned with key EU global challenges: disability, independent living, job inclusion, reduction of social and health care costs, and increase of labour. Target customers are SCI patients and hospitals. Benefits for the patients are increased sitting time and enhanced health, social inclusion, independent living and ageing well. EPHS savings will result in more than €40 million per year, plus avoid loss of medical resources. During Phase 2, we will achieve the free marketability of LiveRest, demonstrate the system in operational environment and elaborate an investor-ready business plan, including commercialisation and mass-production strategies.
Antidepressant-like Effect of<i>l</i>-perillaldehyde in Stress-induced Depression-like Model Mice through Regulation of the Olfactory Nervous System

Perillae Herba (a leaf of Perilla frutescens) has been prescribed as one of the component herbs in certain Kampo (Japanese herbal) medicines that are used clinically for the improvement of depressive mood. l-Perillaldehyde (PAH) is a major component in the essential oil containing in Perillae Herba, but its antidepressant-like effect has not been reported. To clarify the antidepressant-like effect of PAH, the inhaled effect of PAH on stress-induced depression-like model mice prepared by subjection to a combination of forced swimming and chronic mild stresses was investigated. The degree of the depression-like state was measured by the animal's duration of immobility using a forced swimming test. Inhalation of PAH (0.0965 and 0.965 mg/mouse/day, 9 days) significantly shortened the duration of immobility of the depression-like model mice and did not affect locomotor activity. However, another odor substance, cinnamaldehyde containing in Cinnamomi Cortex, exhibited no reduction in the immobility. The reduction in the immobility induced by the inhalation of PAH was prevented on anosmia-induced mice prepared by intranasal irrigation with zinc sulfate. These results suggest that the inhalation of PAH shows antidepressant-like activity through the olfactory nervous function.
Calanus finmarchicus along the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge: variation in fatty acid and alcohol profiles and stable isotope values, 15N and 13C

Fatty acid and alcohol profiles and stable nitrogen and carbon isotope values, δ 15 N and δ 13 C, of Calanus finmarchicus CV were studied in June 2004 to estimate their trophic status along the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge i.e. the Reykjanes Ridge (RR), extending from Iceland in the north to the productive region of the Sub-Polar Front (SPF) in the south. Two main groups of stations were defined in the study area based on fatty acid (FA) and fatty alcohol compositions, the stations in the RR area constituted one group and the stations in the frontal area constituted another. The sum of relative amounts of the dietary FAs was significantly higher in the RR area than in the frontal area. Conversely, the long-chained FAs, 20:1 and 22:1, were found in significantly lower relative amounts in the RR area than in the frontal area, thus indicating later ascent of the animals in the frontal area. Further support of this is provided by the fatty alcohols ratio 20:1/22:1 which differed significantly between the two areas. The δ 15 N values were significantly higher in the frontal area compared to the RR area indicating higher trophic position and/or different pelagic-POM baseline in these areas.
Coastal climate core services

Even if climate change mitigation objectives agreed in Paris are met, sea level will rise at least by 0.3 to 0.6m in 2100 and then continue rising for centuries. The potential impacts for coastal flooding are a major source of concern for Europe because many infrastructures are located close to shorelines or in low-lying areas. Broad scale coastal climate services and platforms available today have successfully addressed the need to raise awareness on mitigation. However, an authoritative, consistent and decision oriented platform is still missing to meet the needs of adaptation practitioners concerned with (1) the routine identification of coastal territories at risk from innundation, (2) coastal land use planning or (3) maintaining coastal infastructure services. The Coastal Climate Core Service (CoCliCo) project aims at informing decision-making on coastal risk and adaptation, by delivering an open web-platform exploring dominant risk drivers, adjusting visualisation and analysis techniques to local decision contexts, and combining relevant and high-quality geospatial information layers. Through the platform, users will be able to visualize, download and analyse multiple decision-oriented coastal risk scenarios relevant to the rich user narratives  of our Demonstration Case Studies addressing the three needs raised above. To meet this challenge, CoCliCo brings together European organizations and scholars that have proven track records of delivering broad-scale coastal risk and adaptation assessment, as well as leading research and technologies in interoperable geospatial data management, decision sciences and risk communication.
