Printed intelligent nfc game cards and packaging

The emerging technology breakthrough of the Internet-of-Things is expected to offer promising solutions for packaging and interactive entertainment. The PING project anticipates on this evolution and aims to develop flexible, fully integrated metal-oxide Near Field Communication (NFC) tags seamlessly embedded in folded carton packaging and game cards. This will introduce NFC technology at lower cost and without substantial changes to product dimensions and mechanical characteristics. Moreover, one-time programmable memory (PROM) will enable additional functionality. NFC chip development will be ready for implementation in the “up-scaled” production facility at Pragmatic Printing (>100Mn chips/year). As a result, the PING consortium represents the value chain (design, manufacturing, integration, assembly and conversion) of NFC-enabled products in Europe and will secure follow-on commercialisation for volume production. More specifically the PING objectives are as follows:
1) Development of a Process Design Kit (PDK) for automated design of complex integrated circuits in scalable metal-oxide technology and compatible with standard simulation tools
2) Advancing the design of complex NFC circuitry with enhanced performance and functionality using the developed PDK
3) Implementation of scalable manufacturing processes to realize flexible, large area metal-oxide NFC circuitry
4) Evaluation of suitable antenna manufacturing processes and chip bonding technologies 
5) Demonstration of flexible, fully integrated metal-oxide NFC tags in the existing products of two end-users scalable to high-volume markets

The consortium is a well balanced mix of 1 SME (Pragmatic Printing), 3 industrial partners (Cartamundi, Smartrac, Van Genechten Packaging) and 2 major research institutes (imec, TNO) fully capable of achieving the ambitious PING goals. Moreover, this constellation enables the project to tackle the problem with an exhaustive approach, including researchers, developers and users. The main activities will focus on:
•	NFC chip design and processing
•	NFC antenna design and production
•	PROM design and processing
•	Assembly of chips, antenna and game card sheets
Regional Disaster Common Defence

The inclusion of New Member States in the Cadses area requires the necessity to create and to share common guidelines and tools to face with prevention and management of Natural and man made disasters. Plans of actions to prevent and manage risks need to be commonly drawn up and applied on a transnational basis . Red Code aims to set up methodologies and transnational actions to achieve the basis for a transnational protocol of agreements in order to manage, monitor and prevent calamities and to create best practices and common procedures to be shared by all potential actors involved in the promotion of risks and management of disasters at european level. Through the transnational strategy and the common tools elaborated with the contributions of all the actors involved, the project improves the capacity of reaction in case of disasters and gives the possibility to cooperate also facing with events that require common interventions.
Body dissatisfaction and common mental disorders in adolescents

Objective: To verify the prevalence of body dissatisfaction in adolescents and its association with socioeconomic, behavioral, anthropometric, and psychosocial factors, especially with the presence of common mental disorders. Methods: Adolescents from a school in Itajai, Southern Brazil, had anthropometric measurements for body mass index analysis, and completed a questionnaire on personal data and common mental disorders. The primary outcome was the presence of body dissatisfaction and the adjusted analysis of associated factors was performed by Poisson regression. Prevalence ratios and their respective 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated. Results: A total of 214 adolescents (77.5%) with a mean age of 12.4, years predominantly females (65.4%), were enrolled. Most of the adolescents were classified as eutrophic (79.4%), and 28.0% had indicative scores for common mental disorders. The prevalence of body dissatisfaction was 74.3% (95%CI 67.9–80.0). Factors identified as associated with body dissatisfaction were: lower maternal schooling, abdominal obesity, perception of the nutritional state as above or below the weight, interference of physical shape in daily activities, and relationships. The presence of common mental disorders was associated with body dissatisfaction after adjusted analysis at the level of 6.6%. Conclusions: Most adolescents presented body mass index and waist circumference within the normal range; however, high prevalence of body dissatisfaction was noted in both genders. Maternal variables and behaviors related to body weight were associated with the outcome. In relation to the common mental disorders, the association was close to the adopted significance threshold.
DERIVATISATION OF BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES

The present invention relates to a new polymerisation process in which ethylenically unsaturated monomers are polymerised by a living radical polymerisation process in the presence of an initiator and a catalyst. Polymers produced by this new process are also thought to be novel and may be used to derivatise biological molecules to improve their efficacy as therapeutic treatments. A preferred polymer is of formula (A) The polymers are particularly suitable for derivatising proteins, such as interferon.
Systemic Treatment of Gastrointestinal Cancer in Elderly Patients

PurposeGastrointestinal cancer (GI) incidence increases with each decade of life and is the leading cause of death in patients aged >70 years. Nevertheless, elderly patients are often excluded or underrepresented in clinical trials. We performed a review of current recommendations in the management of GI elderly cancer patients.MethodsA comprehensive literature review was performed analyzing data about several meta-analysis and studies regarding chemotherapeutic regimens in elderly patients with colorectal and gastroesophageal cancers.ResultsMost of the studies demonstrated that the elderly experience the same advantages and toxicities from chemotherapy as younger individuals despite the fact that the data reviewed in this article provide evidence that elderly with GI cancers are underrepresented in clinical trials and few trials are conducted addressing the different risks and aims in older population. Each individual should be assessed for an appropriate regimen of treatment in the adjuvant or metastatic gastrointestinal cancer setting, and the decision of how to treat elderly must incorporate goals and preferences of the patient after a careful discussion of risks and benefits.ConclusionChronological age alone is not a sufficient factor to withhold curative/palliative treatment from an elderly GI cancer patient, and cofactors regarding their functional, social, and mental status have to be considered. For this purpose, several tools exist that may be utilized, such as geriatric assessment scores, comorbidity indices, frailty indices, scores for predicting toxicity from chemotherapy, and prognostic indices for survival.
Multimodal Measurements of Single-Molecule Dynamics Using FluoRBT

Single-molecule methods provide direct measurements of macromolecular dynamics, but are limited by the number of degrees of freedom that can be followed at one time. High-resolution rotor bead tracking (RBT) measures DNA torque, twist, and extension, and can be used to characterize the structural dynamics of DNA and diverse nucleoprotein complexes. Here, we extend RBT to enable simultaneous monitoring of additional degrees of freedom. Fluorescence-RBT (FluoRBT) combines magnetic tweezers, infrared evanescent scattering, and single-molecule FRET imaging, providing real-time multiparameter measurements of complex molecular processes. We demonstrate the capabilities of FluoRBT by conducting simultaneous measurements of extension and FRET during opening and closing of a DNA hairpin under tension, and by observing simultaneous changes in FRET and torque during a transition between right-handed B-form and left-handed Z-form DNA under controlled supercoiling. We discover unanticipated continuous changes in FRET with applied torque, and also show how FluoRBT can facilitate high-resolution FRET measurements of molecular states, by using a mechanical signal as an independent temporal reference for aligning and averaging noisy fluorescence data. By combining mechanical measurements of global DNA deformations with FRET measurements of local conformational changes, FluoRBT will enable multidimensional investigations of systems ranging from DNA structures to large macromolecular machines.
Standard model precision electroweak tests at acute rapidities

The Standard Model (SM) is widely accepted to be an approximation of a more complete theory of nature, but laboratory tests have failed to identify a conclusive deviation from its precise predictions. In the SM two of the four fundamental forces of nature, namely the electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces, are governed by three fundamental parameters. These parameters are precisely fixed by experimental determinations of the Z boson mass, the fine structure constant, and the Fermi constant. Other parameters are subsequently predictable and can therefore be confronted with experimental data, potentially exposing physics effects beyond the SM. Of notable importance are the W boson mass and the weak-mixing angle since these two parameters are not yet measured as precisely as they are predicted. A delicate feature of the SM, which could easily be perturbed by new physics, is the universality between the coupling strengths of the three known lepton generations to the gauge bosons. There is an intriguing set of beauty hadron measurements which suggest a violation of lepton universality, with a particularly large effect in the third generation. While inconclusive at this stage these results intensify the demand for a test of a potentially related anomaly in the partial decay width of the W boson to third generation leptons. Qualitatively new ideas are needed to tackle these scientific problems.  LHCb is the first experiment of its kind, as a small-angle spectrometer detector at a hadron collider, and the SPEAR project is well timed to analyse existing data from LHCb and the full dataset from the first running period with the LHCb upgrade. The SPEAR project sets ambitious goals of (i) measuring the W mass for the first time with a small-angle spectrometer (ii), making the first weak mixing angle determination at a hadron collider that matches the precision of electron-positron colliders, and (iii) resolving the long-standing W boson lepton universality puzzle.
The Influence of Changing the Parameters of Electrical Components Implementing the Active Reduction of Vibration

The structural and parametric analysis presented in this work is understood as an inverse task of dynamics. The solution to this task is to obtain structure and parameters of a system meeting initial requirements. This synthesis may be used as a non-classical method of designing mechanical systems [1÷7]. The presented work extends this issue. Apart from designing a system consisting solely of passive elements, it also describes a subsystem, whose operation reduces undesired vibration of the primary system. The basic analysis which will be performed is to test the influence of applying electric elements on the primary mechanical set [1,3,6]. The analysis will be done on the example of system which were obtained while conducting the structural and parametric synthesis. In order to design a system including an active subsystem in the form of electric elements reducing vibration by means of a non-classical method of designing.
Skills and integration of migrants, refugees and asylum applicants in european labour markets

Despite the polarization in public and policy debates generated by the post-2014 fluxes of refugees, asylum applicants and migrants, European countries need to work out an evidence-based way to deal with migration and asylum rather than a prejudice-based one. The proposed project, SIRIUS, builds on a multi-dimensional conceptual framework in which host country or political-institutional, societal and individual-related conditions function either as enablers or as barriers to migrants’, refugees’ and asylum seekers’ integration via the labour market. SIRIUS has three main objectives: A descriptive objective: To provide systematic evidence on post-2014 migrants, refugees and asylum applicants especially women and young people and their potential for labour market employment and, more broadly, social integration. An explanatory objective: To advance knowledge on the complexity of labour market integration for post-2014 migrants, refugees and asylum applicants, and to explore their integration potential by looking into their spatial distribution (in relation to the distribution of labour demand across the labour market), while taking into account labour market characteristics and needs in different country and socio-economic contexts. A prescriptive objective: To advance a theoretical framework for an inclusive integration agenda, outlining an optimal mix of policy pathways for labour market integration including concrete steps that Member States and other European countries along with the EU can take to ensure that migrant-integration policies and the broader system of workforce-development, training, and employment programmes support new arrivals’ access to decent work opportunities and working conditions. SIRIUS has a mixed methods approach and innovative dissemination plan involving online priority action networks, film essays, festival, job fair and an applied game along with scientific and policy dialogue workshops and conferences.
France-Italy START The network of cross-border incubators in the space of the Maritime PO

The evaluation panel of the EU Commission on Innovation 2015 reveals that the global innovation level of EU countries has remained stable. However, the crisis has left a mark on innovation in the private sector; the number of innovative companies, venture capital investments and patent applications as well as the propensity of innovative SMEs to go international are in decline. The common challenge that the partners intend to face is to create a fertile context for the creation of innovative transnational startups able to position themselves firmly on the area, promoting their propensity for innovation and cross-border and global collaboration. The Maritime Programme area constitutes an average ecosystem for dynamic innovation (EU Reports rank France as an Innovation Follower and Italy as a Modest Innovator). Its growth needs new common/shared policies by innovation facilitators and improved innovation standards for startups and SMEs (92% of local businesses) to make them more competitive on the global market. A partnership of major local players in innovation/business creation will carry out the project. Their objective is to create a network of Quality Label Maritime IT_FR certified business incubators. Their main output will be a platform of cross-border/integrated incubation services for the support of innovative startups looking for partners/customers/financiers to accelerate their entry/growth in the global market. The achievement of this objective will require the analysis and benchmarking of the incubation centres, the study of the startups' innovation needs and business opportunities and their comparison with similar EU enterprises. These will constitute the underlying context on which to build the services catalogue, which will be tested on startups selected according to their cross-border business plan.
"I-We" Boundary Fluctuations in Couple Adjustment to Colorectal Cancer and Life with a Permanent Colostomy: A Qualitative Validation Study

This study aims to validate a classification system of couple adjustment to cancer, developed with breast and prostate cancer patients. The classification proposes that couples undergo fluctuations between togetherness (“We”-ness) and separateness (“I”-ness) during their cancer experience, which may affirm or erode their mutual identity. The application of the classification system to couples coping with colorectal cancer (CRC) and permanent colostomies served as a novel approach to member checking as a means of validation. Nine couples were interviewed. Transcripts were coded for “I-We” shifts in couples’ adjustment, either as these were implicitly described within their dialogue, or as they were explicitly self-identified by the couple. With the exception of four “We”-eroding shifts, all of the previously identified shifts within the “I-We” classification system were observed. One new “I-We” shift was developed from this analysis. Implications to colorectal cancer patients with colostomies and theories of couple resilience emphasizing “We”-ness are discussed.
Asynchronous Little Ice Age glacial maximum extent in southeast Iceland

The Little Ice Age (LIA) maximum glacial extent of 13 glaciers located in SE Iceland was dated by lichenometry to check for intraregional variations. Different lichenometric approaches were applied to date maximum LIA moraines, and they all showed high variability between glaciers. According to the Extreme Value Theory and Bayesian approach, LIA advances in the region occurred in or around A.D. 1740–1760, A.D. 1810–1820 and A.D. 1840–1880 with confidence intervals of between 8 and 21 years. The dates were correlated with geomorphic characteristics of glacier tongues: hypsometric and slope parameters can be considered as determining factors in the variability of glacier timing during the LIA, as previously observed in Norway and in the Alps. In terms of timing, results obtained in SE Iceland were similar to those obtained for other glacier regions around the North Atlantic.
Pattern and nature of employment in India and among major states

The Government of India gradually adopted market-oriented economic reform policies since the mid-1980s. In the early phase, these were associated with increased public expenditure that involved additional fiscal allocations to the rural areas, and sought to reduce the ill-effects of reform process. The pace of policy change accelerated during the early 1990s, with a marked beginning of intensive economic liberalization and it changed the attitudes towards state intervention in the economy. In this background, this paper examines the changes in the pattern of employment, its nature among the total population and also among the social groups at the national level and among major states in India.

Fredholmness and smooth dependence for linear time-periodic hyperbolic systems

This paper concerns n × n linear one-dimensional hyperbolic systems of the type ∂ t u j + a j ( x ) ∂ x u j + ∑ k = 1 n b j k ( x ) u k = f j ( x , t ) , j = 1 , … , n , with periodicity conditions in time and reflection boundary conditions in space. We state conditions on the data a j and b j k and the reflection coefficients such that the system is Fredholm solvable. Moreover, we state conditions on the data such that for any right-hand side there exists exactly one solution, that the solution survives under small perturbations of the data, and that the corresponding data-to-solution map is smooth with respect to appropriate function space norms. In particular, those conditions imply that no small denominator effects occur. We show that perturbations of the coefficients a j lead to essentially different results than perturbations of the coefficients b j k , in general. Our results cover cases of non-strictly hyperbolic systems as well as systems with discontinuous coefficients a j and b j k , but they are new even in the case of strict hyperbolicity and of smooth coefficients.
Influence of the Bottomland with Dikes on Flood Discharge of Juzhang River

The bottomland with dikes has a great effect on the flood stage of Juzhang River.It should be distinguished whether it has been flooded in different years when water surface profiles were calculated,and its roughness coefficients should differ from main channels.In this paper,the water surface profiles of Juzhang River with frequency of the biggest flood in 20,10 and 5 years were calculated,which came to the conclusion that if the bottomland with dikes was cleaned out,the water level of Herong would fell by 0.43~0.53 m,the water level of Zhangjiakou by 0.60~0.79 m and the Fengtai by 1.00~1.44 m.So cleaning out the bottomland with dikes of Juzhang River contributes to the flood releasing capacity.
Case Study : Job Selection and Career planning: Unwinding the dilemma

Most of the people face career related dilemmas in the contemporary corporate scenario. This is due several factors like the wider range of choices available to them, internally in terms of different verticals and externally in terms of the plethora of companies, both established and start-ups who are on a constant look-out for talent acquisition. The dilemma is more intense and confusing for the B-School students. Making career decisions can be like a walk on the tight-rope due to lack of  experience and multiple, conflicting sources of information. They need to understand the factors that need to be taken into consideration while selecting their first job, prioritization of the job related factors and the  decision making process. Proper career planning isn’t easy and involves a lot of thought and right execution of ideas and decisions.Even after  getting the first job, people may want to change. The job may not meet  their expectations or they may not meet the expectations of the job or the company. One of the typical examples is a sales job. But they need to make the changes necessary and carry on. This case is a hypothetical  case that tries to explore the career confusions and ways to deal with the career confusions. It also throws some light on mid-career changes and adapting to new environments and new responsibilities. The case is written in a dialogue format between the three characters of the case, Vinay,  Mukul and Vamsh. The case transcends across areas of recruitment and  selection, individual and organization behavior and personal growth and  inert-personal effectiveness. The prime motive is to bring out career  confusion scenarios and also solutions. Note:This case was awarded the First Prize in “Bench Mark-2011” a National Level Case Writing Competition, conducted on 25th February 2011 at PSG Institute of Management.
