Epiphytic Lichens of Stužica (E Slovakia) in the Context of Central European Old-Growth Forests

Abstract: Vondrak, J., Malicek, J., Soun, J. & Pouska, V. 2015. Epiphytic lichens of Stužica (E Slovakia) in the context of Central European old-growth forests. — Herzogia 28: 104–126. Based on recent lichen inventories, we report 230 epiphytic and epixylic species in the Slovakian old-growth beech-dominated Stužica forest. Microlichens represent 75% of species. By comparison, lichen lists of only three other Central European forests exceed 200 species, and none of them reached 230. Lichen diversity is very unequally distributed in Stužica; the extensive south-facing slopes are poor in species, whereas damp brook valleys and upper parts of slopes above 1000 m alt. are rich. Some rare macrolichens were collected in Stužica about 50 years ago but could not be relocated during the present survey. Twelve species are new to Slovakia: Epigloea urosperma, Graphis macrocarpa, Kirschsteiniothelia recessa, Lecidea sanguineoatra, Lepraria ecorticata, Micarea nigella, Opegrapha trochodes, Parmotrema arnoldii, Pertusa...
Photoelectron spectra and electronic structure of boron acetylacetonates with organic substituents

Based on experimental data and theoretical results obtained by photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory, the electronic structure of the valence levels of boron diethyl acetylacetonate (C2H5)2BAA, boron diphenyl acetylacetonate (C6H5)2BAA, and 1,2-phenylene dioxyboron acetylacetonate C6H4O2BAA is examined. For the compounds studied, in contrast to F2BAA, a significant mixing of the π3 MO of the chelate ring with the orbitals localized on the boron atom, as well as on the (C2H5)2, and (C6H5)2 fragments, is revealed. The C6H4O2BAA complex is demonstrated to have MOs mainly localized on the oxygen atoms of the C6H4O2 fragment. It is shown that the calculated results closely reproduce the experimental sequences of energy levels and the energy intervals between the ionized states of the complex.
[The Impact of Late Umbilical Cord Clamping on Neonatal Jaundice and Postpartum Hemorrhage: A Randomized Controlled Trail].

The current evidence supports the clinical benefits of late umbilical cord clamping. These benefits include increased blood volume and total body iron. Furthermore, delayed cord clamping facilitates the transplantation of stem cells, which helps the development of infant bodily systems. However, due to concerns related to postpartum hemorrhaging and neonate jaundice, most maternity units still clamp the cord immediately after a child is born.This study investigates the impact of delaying cord clamping on neonatal jaundice and postpartum hemorrhage.A randomized, controlled trial was conducted at a regional teaching hospital in northern Taiwan. One hundred and five healthy nulliparous women at 36 weeks of pregnancy were included and allocated randomly to the experiment group (n=44) and the control group (n=61). Participants in the experiment group received delayed cord clamping (DCC) at 3 minutes after delivery. Participants in the control group received early cord clamping (ECC) at around 1 minute after delivery. Clinical measures of the outcomes were measured by the infant transcutaneous bilirubin levels (TcB) and postpartum hemorrhage at birth. A structured questionnaire and biophysical measures were used to collect data on participant demographics, obstetrical information, maternal blood loss at birth, neonate weight and TcB level at hospitalization, and whether or not the infant received phototherapy at 4-7 days postpartum.Overall, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of neonatal jaundice, maternal hemorrhage at birth, and phototherapy rates at time of hospitalization and at 4-7 days postpartum.The findings of the present study support that late umbilical cord clamping does not increase the risk of maternal postpartum hemorrhaging or neonate jaundice. Thus, we suggest that clinicians inform clients during prenatal classes of the benefits of delayed cord clamping and also use current, evidence-based knowledge to dispel client worries regarding the dangers to maternal-neonate health of delayed cord clamping.雖然國外實證研究支持延遲斷臍可以增加胎盤血流灌注至嬰兒，因而可以減少嬰兒時期的鐵質缺乏，也能透過幹細胞的補充幫助嬰兒各系統的發展；但國內臨床上多數醫療院所因為擔心增加高膽紅素血症及產時出血量而採立即性斷臍。.探討斷臍時間對於嬰兒黃疸及產時出血的影響。.研究對象為北部某區域教學醫院所生產的孕婦及新生兒，採實驗性研究，隨機分派105對母嬰至實驗組（n = 44）及控制組（n = 61）。實驗組採延遲斷臍，嬰兒娩出後3分鐘斷臍，控制組採立即斷臍，斷臍時間控制在嬰兒娩出後1分鐘內，藉以比較嬰兒黃疸及產時出血的相關性。採用結構式問卷及生理計量測量方式進行資料收集，包括母嬰人口學及產科學資料、產時出血量、新生兒出生前三天之體重變化及經皮膽紅素值、出生後七天是否因黃疸而住院照光治療。.兩組出生三天的嬰兒其經皮膽紅素值皆隨著出生天數而上升，但兩組的經皮膽紅素值、住院期間及產後四至七天的照光治療率、住院期間照光治療時數皆無統計上之差異；延遲斷臍與產時出血量沒有相關性。.本研究結果證實延遲斷臍不會增加產時的出血及產後三天的黃疸值。建議醫護人員採用延遲斷臍，並於生產教育教導個案延遲斷臍的好處，及澄清延遲斷臍對母嬰健康影響之相關疑慮。.
The Material Cultural Heritage as a Strategic Territorial Development Resource: Mapping Impacts Through a Set of Common European Socio-economic Indicators

The service shall attempt to quantify the contribution (impact) of material cultural heritage to economical development in the stakeholder countries and regions over the past 5 years. Building on the work done by the European Heritage Heads Forum’s Economic Task Force and the European Commission, this research activity will define a list of economic sectors on which the material cultural heritage has an impact and perform data collection on the selected impact indicators. The main outcome should be a common theoretical framework, defining the most important economic sectors on which the material cultural heritage has an impact and developing the empirical evidence of such impact. This research activity will also develop a blueprint or in other words a step-by-step plan on how to build a monitoring system in the stakeholder countries that includes all actions necessary to obtain and maintain data for the defined impact indicators in the future. This study is named as one of the key studies by the “European Framework for Action on Cultural Heritage” (adopted by the European Commission in December 2018). Economic statistics and indicators produced will be useful for understanding the economic contribution of the material cultural heritage. Overall the results will promote evidence-based decision making related to protection and promotion of material cultural heritage.

Trade liberalization, consumption shifting and pollution: Evidence from Mexico's used vehicle imports

This paper develops a model of used vehicle trade between the United States and Mexico, countries with different environmental regulations regarding vehicle emissions. We demonstrate that the United States, with its strict environmental regulations, has a motive to export used vehicles to Mexico, which impacts air pollution emissions from vehicle driving in Mexico. Using unique data on the import and registration of vehicles in Mexico after NAFTA, we find that Mexico's used vehicle imports reduce pollution emissions generated from vehicle driving mainly because of the technique effect, that is, model–age-comparable vehicles imported from the United States emit less than those originally operated in Mexico.
Verification of the 3D capability of OpenMOC with the C5G7 3D extension benchmark

Abstract Due to its numerical accuracy, geometrical flexibility, potential parallel degrees, and implementary simplicity, the Method of Characteristics (MOC) is a very promising candidate for high-fidelity full-core transport solving. OpenMOC, a general purpose open source neutron transport solver, was originally a 2D criticality calculation solver, and has been extended to have 3D capability recently. This paper presents the solutions obtained with OpenMOC to the C5G7 3D extension benchmark problems along with the sensitivity analysis of simulation parameters. All three configurations are calculated, and the results are compared with the benchmark reference with respect to both the multiplication factor and the pin power distribution. Good agreements with the reference results were reached, verifying the solution accuracy of the 3D capability of OpenMOC.
Comparison of the protective roles of L-carnitine and amifostine against radiation-induced acute ovarian damage by histopathological and biochemical methods

The aim of this study was to compare the radioprotective efficacies of L-carnitine (LC) and amifostine against radiation-induced acute ovarian damage.Forty-five, 3-month-old Wistar albino rats were randomly assigned to six groups. Control (CONT, n = 7); irradiation alone RT: radiation therapy (RT, n = 8); amifostine plus irradiation (AMI + RT, n = 8); LC plus irradiation (LC + RT, n = 8); LC and sham irradiation (LC, n = 7); and amifostine and sham irradiation (AMI, n = 7). The rats in the AMI + RT, LC + RT and RT groups were irradiated with a single dose of 20 Gy to the whole abdomen. LC (300 mg/kg) and amifostine (200 mg/kg) was given intraperitoneally 30 min before irradiation. Five days after irradiation, both antral follicles and corpus luteum in the right ovaries were counted, and tissue levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and advanced oxidation protein product (AOPP) were measured.Irradiation significantly decreased antral follicles and corpus luteum (P: 0.005 and P < 0.0001). LC increased the median number of antral follicles and corpus luteum (P: 0.009 and P < 0.0001, respectively). Amifostine improved median corpus luteum numbers but not antral follicle (P < 0.000, P > 0.05). The level of MDA and AOPP significantly increased after irradiation (P = 0.001 and P < 0.0001, respectively). MDA and AOPP levels were significantly reduced by LC (P: 0.003, P < 0.0001) and amifostine (P < 0.0001, P: 0.018). When comparing CONT group with AMI + RT and LC + RT groups, MDA and AOPP levels were similar (P > 0.005). The levels of both MDA and AOPP were also similar when LC + RT is compared with AMI + RT group (P > 0.005).L-carnitine and amifostine have a noteworthy and similar radioprotective effect against radiation-induced acute ovarian toxicity.
Optimization and implementation of a foam system to suppress dust in coal mine excavation face

Abstract Foam technology is more efficient than water sprays for dust control in coal mines, but the traditional foam system is complex and poses problems related to foam production and spraying application, with high water consumption, unstable equipment and relatively low utilization efficiency of foam. This paper describes an optimized foam system which overcomes these disadvantages. The proposed foam generator has a self-suction unit that uses a turbulent-flow water jet to automatically draw in ambient air and foaming agent, thereby eliminating the need for compressed-air hoses and pipes. As well as simplifying the system, it solves the current problem of water backflow created by high-pressure compressed air. A refined foam spraying structure was developed for use in conjunction with an operating roadheader as it produces and diffuses dust. The structure consists of foam distribution supports and arc-fan nozzles. It can produce a more focused, continuous and uniform coverage at the source of the dust. The optimized system consumes less water and foaming agent, and achieves greater dust-suppression efficiency than methods in current use.
Reputation matters in the regulatory state: re-thinking the fundamentals of regulatory independence, credibility and accountability

RICA will fundamentally challenge, reconceptualise and redefine core foundational assumptions of the regulatory state. Arm’s length governance and regulatory independence have become the cornerstone normative and institutional design principles of the European regulatory state. Regulatory credibility is premised on agency insulation from politics with major systemic implications in the form of a rise in non-majoritarianism and a parallel devaluation of the political process. Efforts to compensate through alternative sources of input legitimacy have proven challenging. Conceptualised in a rational-choice tradition, accountability is seen to be in a zero-sum relationship with regulatory autonomy. Bolstering accountability is said to threaten autonomy, undermining the system’s normative foundations.
	 Informed by insights from the political science literature on reputation, RICA profoundly questions these assumptions. It does so in two separate and interlocking tracks. Module 1 theorises about, and tests, the established wisdom of a wholesale positive relation between agency insulation and credibility. To the contrary, from a reputational perspective, a strategy of insulation is expected to have a negative effect on regulatory credibility, with overall delegitimising effects. Similarly informed by reputation insights, Module 2 challenges dominant understandings of accountability and puts forward the building blocks of a new theory of public accountability. The module draws out and studies empirically how reputation shapes the accountability behaviour of regulatory actors, both account-holders and account-givers, and their interactions. It will re-conceptualise the role played by accountability in the regulatory state as well as its relationship with autonomy. In contrast to dominant understandings, as a mechanism of reputation-building, accountability can reinforce autonomy with sweeping implications for regulatory control strategies and institutional design choices.
Secure interoperable full-stack internet of things for smart home

SIFIS-Home aims at providing a secure-by-design and consistent software framework for improving resilience of Interconnected Smart Home Systems at all stack levels. To this end, the framework enables the development of security, privacy aware and accountable applications, algorithms and services, and makes it possible to detect and dynamically react to cyber-attacks and intrusion attempts or violation of user-defined policies, thus increasing control and trust of Smart Home end users.

Smart Home is an emerging application paradigm which has been gaining increasing popularity. Most recently, the Internet of Things (IoT) has been fostering a vision of Smart Home systems, where users can install connectable (smart) devices and appliances that cooperate to automatically manage home services and functionalities. This emerging market is rapidly attracting software developers to produce novel applications and services, to provide additional Smart Home functionalities. However, noticeable barriers and concerns are still present, mainly related to cyber-security and safety within Smart Home systems, as well as to the privacy and integrity of produced and consumed data, most of which are personal and sensitive. Also, many Smart Home devices use custom and proprietary security solutions that do not account for interactions with other devices in the Smart Home system. Plus, developers have to develop applications adaptable to different systems and architectures, where security aspects are often neglected or poorly addressed.

The consortium combines leading industry players in the IoT, telecommunication and cyber-security markets with research and academic institutions, also involved as key contributors to premier international standardisation bodies (e.g. IETF), and having leading roles in the SPARTA, CONCORDIA and CyberSec4Europe projects of the European Cyber Competence Network. SMEs active in the Smart Home and IoT markets and Open Source community complete the consortium.
Noise reduction in large port cities in the cross-border maritime program

The general objective of this project is to improve the sustainability of commercial ports by contributing to the reduction of noise pollution. It will build some infrastructure and invest in noise mitigation to carry out studies and assess their effectiveness, replicable in all ports of the cooperation area. This will make it possible to reduce heavy-duty road traffic generated by port activities and boat moorings, the main sources of disturbance induced by port sound sources, thus benefiting the neighbouring urban population. The project will implement actions after an initial acoustic climate survey and taking into consideration the grievances of the residents received by port management bodies and the public institutions in charge. In order to operate correctly and efficiently, RUMBLE will apply a monitoring strategy with the following features: 1) connected to the effectiveness of the mitigation works carried out with project funds in the pilot areas of Cagliari, Livorno and Ajaccio 2) aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of a large-scale project already carried out with its own funds in the Port of Genoa 3 ) defining the best actions to be implemented in the future in the Nice metropolitan area port. Focus groups and events will involve the target groups in all phases of the project, also to validate the results. These will include public bodies in charge of acoustic monitoring and planning, port companies and residents, also represented by Committees. The Network with the leaders of the other projects will ensure that the project can be repeated and transferred to other cross-border port facilities; the same will be carried out at European level through presentations by partners at institutional events and partner Universities before the international scientific community.
WRITING SYSTEM

A calligraphic writing system of the type including an x-y plotter, a writing pen and a digital computer that controls the movement of the pen relative to the writing bed of the plotter. The system self-aligns the writing pen and items on the bed being written, and permits a number of items to be correctly positioned on the writing bed and to be written during a single cycle. The pen draws positioning marks on the writing bed, thereby insuring that the item(s) to be written on and the pen are properly aligned relative to each other. In embodiments in which a plurality of items (all of which may or may not be the same) may be written in one cycle, the computer determines how many sets can be placed on the writing bed at once, and draws positioning marks for each item of each complete set that will so fit.
Mass-balance terms revisited

Abstract For 40 years Anonymous ( J. Glaciol ., 8(52), 1969) has been the effective standard of glacier mass-balance terminology. It grew out of a concern for clarity in the communication of information, and has guided thinking about mass balance in many ways. Certain ambiguities and gaps in its conceptualization have become more evident with the passage of time, and some have been aggravated by ad hoc extensions of and deviations from the standard. Methodological progress means that a review of the terminology of Anonymous (1969) is now timely, and a forthcoming glossary to be published by the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences addresses this need. There are good reasons for being concerned about clear terminology, but consistent usage by the members of a large community cannot be secured other than by consensus.

Immune safety avatar: nonclinical mimicking of the immune system effects of immunomodulatory therapies

The vision of Immune Safety Avatar (imSAVAR) is to develop a platform for integrated nonclinical assessments of immunomodulatory therapy safety and efficacy. Existing nonclinical models do not adequately represent the complexity of the immune system and its interactions in both immunoncology and immunmediated diseases. They also do not accurately reflect the diversity of response to new therapies that is seen in clinical medicine.
We will, thus, constantly refine existing and develop new nonclinical models with the final goal of validation aiming at: (i) understanding the value of nonclinical models for predicting efficacy and safety of immunomodulators incorporating cellular high throughput assays, complex organisms models and micro physiological systems, (ii) developing new endpoints and better monitoring approaches for immune function tests, and (iii) designing cellular and molecular biomarkers for early detection of adverse effects. The platform imSAVAR will be based upon case studies for prioritized therapeutic modalities and has been built around institutes of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft which has strong track records in applied science and in particular toxicology. The consortium will improve the prediction of the transferability of safety and efficacy of immunomodulators from pre-clinical models to first-in-human studies in collaboration with the private sector, pharma, regulators and technology providers. We will share experience on  customized models that can be deployed (w.r.t. the 3Rs principles), establish the necessary infrastructure, conduct the analyses and  provide wider disease domain expertise. This conjoint effort assures that the platform imSAVAR constantly benefits the field of immune safety evaluation, and will generate opportunities for European businesses. A guiding principle of this consortium is the meaningful engagement of multiple stakeholders including patients and regulators. A multi-stakeholder community will be established.
