NEORION PLUS - Capitalisation and Promotion of green maritime technologies and new materials to enhance sustainable shipbuilding in 
Adriatic Ionian Region

NEORION PLUS aims at promoting the results of the project NEORION in the Adriatic-Ionian on Green Shipbuilding in order to accelerate both the cooperation of key actors & innovation in the industry.
Raising awareness regarding Sustainable Shipbuilding among potential beneficiaries, stakeholders and interested institutions is going to be gained through meetings and events on National level and through social media and video, so that the NEORION project&#39;s outcomes are going to be further communicated to all interested target groups. Further promotion of the NEORION project outcomes and results to national/regional/level, are going to be reached through Training Activities on Technology Transfer on Green Shipbuilding, using the existing experience gained by NEORION project in order to raise the technology capacities of all partners and stakeholders from all the countries of the project. The capitalization strategy already presented in the framework of NEORION Project is going to be revised in order to ensure its resilience to COVID-19 and the consequent economic crisis and in parallel there is going to be an upgrade of the NERION project stakeholders’ platform on Green Shipbuilding, making it more operative and safer to users. Last but not least, there is a provision on providing first-hand information on managing and implementing European projects to future potential beneficiaries by organizing a major Workshop of Future Projects with the participation of stakeholders form ADRION or EU area and in cooperation with National Contact Points.
Method of splicing spun yarns

A spun yarn splicing method wherein ends of both yarns untwisted and positioned in overlapping relationship within a yarn splicing hole are acted upon by a compressed fluid to effect an intended splicing of yarns. Prior to the untwisting operation of the yarn ends, the yarn ends are held and cut, and grasping of the yarn ends are released after the yarns are relaxed and the tension of the yarn is decreased.
STORIE, CORPI E DIRITTI, PRIMA DELL’ITALIANO

Tantissimi dei giovani arrivati attraverso la rotta del Mediterraneo non hanno avuto accesso all’istruzione e vivono oggi in condizioni di emarginazione. Durante il lockdown molti sono piombati in una situazione di invisibilità. Il contesto di arrivo è per molti un luogo dove le speranza vengono abbandonate definitivamente. Stories, bodies and rights, before Italian language Many of the young people who arrived via the Mediterranean route did not have access to education and now live in conditions of marginalization. During the lockdown, many fell into a situation of invisibility. The arrival context is for many a place where hopes are definitively abandoned.
Machine learning for the study of ancient epigraphic cultures

PythiaPlus proposes to explore and interpret the nature of the epigraphic cultures of the ancient Mediterranean using Artificial Intelligence. Specifically, it will use Machine Learning (ML) models to trace distinctiveness and change in the Greek and Roman epigraphic evidence on an unprecedented large scale and in unparalleled detail, revealing new insights in linguistic and cultural interactions.
Inscriptions are primary evidence for reconstructing the history and thought of the ancient world, due to their large number and variety in content. However, the chronological development and regional diffusion of inscriptions are not uniform. No print or digital resources exist allowing a precise quantification of inscriptions by time and place, and current approaches are generally confined to specific languages or localised case studies. Recent advances in ML can overcome these limitations: ML is a field of Artificial Intelligence that allows statistical models to discover patterns in large datasets, and learn meaningful representations of them. Because such models can train over vast amounts of data, they can overcome the limitations in quantification and breadth of analysis of current resources and approaches.
By revolutionising our ability to access and analyse the epigraphic data through the implementation of advanced digital technologies, this research will enable and undertake the interpretation of the epigraphic patterns and parallels discovered by ML models across the texts and metadata of thousands of Greek and Latin inscriptions. PythiaPlus will transform our understanding of the use of epigraphic communication and the nature of cultural interference within the written and indirectly spoken languages of the ancient world, making a substantial contribution to the study of Epigraphy and the Historical Sciences.
Efficiency of Glaucoma Drug Regulation in 5 European Countries

To compare the evolution of prostaglandin analog (PGA) and β-blocker (BB) prescriptions across 5 European countries.Data were extracted from various sources: (1) IMS data for France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom, (2) glaucoma-treated patients from the United Kingdom General Practice Research Database (UK-GPRD), (3) prescriptions delivered by the territorial pharmaceutical service of Monselice of the Padova region (Italy). Drugs were grouped into 3 classes: PGAs, BBs, and other drugs. Yearly market shares were calculated. Treatment persistence survival curves were estimated for Italian and UK data, and the 3 drug groups were compared using the Cochran Mantel Haenszel test.According to Padova data, BBs decreased in market share, whereas PGAs increased. A linear extrapolation of these market shares, based on 1998 to 2003 data, predicted that the 2 curves should cross in 2005, a prediction reinforced by the European Medicines Agency authorization (2002) of PGAs as first-line glaucoma treatments. That this did not occur may be explained by Italy's refusal to reimburse PGAs as first-line therapy. IMS data identified Italy and Germany as 2 countries in which BBs are still more frequently prescribed than PGAs. Treatment persistence with PGAs as monotherapy, in PGA-naive patients, was longer than for BBs according to both Padova and UK-GPRD data. This held true for both first-line and second-line PGA prescriptions (UK-GPRD); the persistence of second-line PGA equalled first-line BB treatment.Health care regulations impacted upon glaucoma prescribing and may be one of the reasons for different annual evolution rates of PGA and BB prescriptions.
The use of computational techniques to improve compliance to reminders within smart environments

The aim of this Project is to create an International and Intersectoral network to facilitate the exchange of staff to progress developments in reminding technologies for persons with dementia which can be deployed in smart environments. The focus will be on developing staff and partner skills in the areas of user centered design and behavioral science coupled with improved computational techniques which in turn will offer more appropriate and efficacious reminding solutions. This will be further supported through research involving user centric studies into the use of reminding technologies and the theory of behaviour change to improve compliance of usage.

A program of work has been established to maximise the transfer of knowledge between the different sectors offering a range of development and training opportunities for staff. Industrial staff will benefit from bi-lateral exchanges from the technical domains of context aware reminding technologies, soft computing, aware intelligent systems, pervasive computing and the psychological domain of behaviour change. The academic beneficiaries will benefit from gaining experience in the development of industrial standard software conforming to ISO and medical standards, engagement with stakeholders through a user centred design process and working with organisations delivering care to the elderly and persons with dementia.

The consortium is comprised of an International network of beneficiaries and partners, all of which are committed to progressing the notion of reminding technologies within smart environments.
LUT observations of the mass-transferring binary AI Dra

Complete UV band light curve of the eclipsing binary AI Dra was observed with the Lunar-based Ultraviolet Telescope (LUT) in October 2014. It is very useful to adopt this continuous and uninterrupted light curve to determine physical and orbital parameters of the binary system. Photometric solutions of the spot model are obtained by using the W-D (Wilson and Devinney) method. It is confirmed that AI Dra is a semi-detached binary with secondary component filling its critical Roche lobe, which indicates that a mass transfer from the secondary component to the primary one should happen. Orbital period analysis based on all available eclipse times suggests a secular period increase and two cyclic variations. The secular period increase was interpreted by mass transfer from the secondary component to the primary one at a rate of 4.12 x 10(-8) M-circle dot/yr, which is in agreement with the photometric solutions. Two cyclic oscillations were due to light travel-time effect (LTTE) via the presence of two cool stellar companions in a near 2: 1 meanmotion resonance. Both photometric solutions and orbital period analysis confirm that AI Dra is a mass-transferring binary, the massive primary is filling 69 % of its critical Roche lobe. After the primary evolves to fill the critical Roche lobe, the mass transfer will be reversed and the binary will evolve into a contact configuration.
Oxidative Stress Response of Blakeslea trispora Induced by Iron Ions During Carotene Production in Shake Flask Culture

The adaptive response of the fungus Blakeslea trispora to the oxidative stress induced by iron ions during carotene production in shake flask culture was investigated. The culture response to oxidative stress was studied by measuring the specific activities of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). The addition of 1.0 mM of FeCl3 to the medium was associated with a mild oxidative stress as evidenced by remarkable increase of the specific activities of SOD and CAT. On the other hand, the addition 5.0 mM of FeCl3 caused a strong oxidative stress resulting in a drastic decrease in carotene concentration. The oxidative stress in B. trispora changed the composition of the carotenes and caused a significant increase of γ-carotene ratio. The highest concentration of carotenes (115.0 ± 3.5 mg/g dry biomass) was obtained in the basal medium without the addition of FeCl3 after 8 days of fermentation. In this case, the carotenes consisted of β-carotene (46.3 %), γ-carotene (40.1 %), and lycopene (13.6 %). The addition of 1.0 mM of FeCl3 into the medium did not change the concentration of carotenes. But, the composition of carotenes was changed with a drastic increase of γ-carotene ratio (61.6 %) and a decrease in β-carotene and lycopene ratio (31.2 and 7.2 %, respectively).
Route selection for minimizing interference to primary users in Cognitive Radio Networks: A Reinforcement Learning approach

The dynamicity and unpredictability of channel availability in Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) have imposed a major challenge to the design of routing schemes. Generally speaking, routing enables Secondary Users (SUs) to select optimal routes, while minimizing interference to Primary Users (PUs), which is a key requirement of CRNs. Nevertheless, there has been limited research in the literature for routing schemes that consider both SUs' interference to PUs and network-wide performance of SUs. This paper proposes a novel Cognitive Radio Q-routing (CRQ-routing) scheme, which aims to take account of SU-to-PU interference and SUs' end-to-end delay. Traditionally, routing schemes have been designed for specific applications and may not achieve the optimum network-wide performance in most kinds of network scenarios. In this paper, CRQ-routing has been shown to achieve network-wide performance in scenarios with various levels of channel dynamicity and unpredictability in regards to PU activities. Furthermore, CRQ-routing is simple to implement since it does not require additional hardware or geographical information. Basically, CRQ-routing is a Reinforcement Learning- (RL-) based approach that provides intelligence to SUs so that they can learn to make dynamic and efficient routing decisions on the fly while addressing the important characteristics of CRNs namely, dynamicity and unpredictability of channel availability, and SUs' interference to PUs. Simulation results show that CRQ-routing reduces the interference to PUs for up to 43% compared to traditional routing schemes, and it achieves lower end-to-end delay under highly unpredictable PU activities.
Mechanisms linking obesity and cancer

The incidence of obesity in US adults has been steadily increasing over the past few decades. Many comorbidities associated with obesity have been well-established such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. However, more recently an epidemiological relationship between obesity and the prevalence of a variety of cancers has also been uncovered. The shift of the paradigm surrounding white adipose tissue function from purely an energy storage tissue, to one that has both endocrine and metabolic relevance, has led to several mechanisms implicated in how obesity drives cancer prevalence and cancer deaths. Currently, there are four categories into which these mechanisms fall - increased lipids and lipid signaling, inflammatory responses, insulin resistance, and adipokines. In this review, we examine each of these categories and the mechanisms through which they drive cancer pathogenesis. Understanding the relationship(s) between obesity and cancer and especially the nodal points of control in these cascades will be essential in developing effective therapeutics or interventions for combating this deadly combination. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Lipid Metabolism in Cancer.
Stakeholder Positioning and Cultural Diversity in the Creative Sector

This chapter explores the antecedents of stakeholder positioning in the creative sector, a sector well known for its diversity in organizational cultures. Drawing from empirical data collected at the heart of London's modern architecture scene we analyze the interactive process of commissioned artwork among architects and professional modern artists. We examine how positioning by artists and their commissioning architects relates to bringing creative outputs to the market, while taking the diversity of organizational cultures into account. First, we show that an accurate understanding of one's positioning and the positioning of one's counterparts in a commissioned arts work process is critical to steer creative collaboration. Second, we provide an overview of positioning criteria to take into account by artists or commissioning architects operating in a culturally diverse environment. The insights rendered illustrate a gap in the heart of our understanding of positioning and leadership.
Taming the particle transport in magnetized plasmas via perturbative fields

Wave-particle interactions are ubiquitous in nature and play a fundamental role in astrophysical and fusion plasmas. In solar plasmas, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluctuations are thought to be responsible for the heating of the solar corona and the generation of the solar wind. In magnetically confined fusion (MCF) devices, enhanced particle transport induced by MHD fluctuations can deteriorate the plasma confinement, and also endanger the device integrity. MCF devices are an ideal testbed to verify current models and develop mitigation / protection techniques.

The proposed project paves the way for providing active control techniques to tame the MHD induced particle transport in a fusion plasma. A solid understanding of the interaction between energetic particles and MHD instabilities in the presence of electric fields and plasma currents is required to develop such techniques. I will pursue this goal through innovative diagnosis techniques with unprecedented spatio-temporal resolution. Combined with state-of-the-art hybrid MHD codes, a deep insight into the underlying physics mechanism will be gained. The outcome of this research project will have a major impact for next-step MCF devices as I will provide ground-breaking control techniques for mitigating MHD induced particle transport in magnetized plasmas.

The project consists of 3 research lines which follow a bottom-up approach: 
(1) Cutting-edge instrumentation, aiming at the new generation of energetic particle and edge current diagnostics. 
(2) Unravel the dynamics of energetic particles, electric fields, edge currents and MHD fluctuations. 
(3) From lab to space weather: The developed models will revolutionize our understanding of the observed particle acceleration and transport in the solar corona.

Based on this approach, the project represents a gateway between the fusion, astrophysics and space communities opening new avenues for a common basic understanding.
Tropical Atlantic Contributions to Strong Rainfall Variability Along the Northeast Brazilian Coast

Tropical Atlantic (TA) Ocean-atmosphere interactions and their contributions to strong variability of rainfall along the Northeast Brazilian (NEB) coast were investigated for the years 1974–2008. The core rainy seasons of March-April and June-July were identified for Fortaleza (northern NEB; NNEB) and Recife (eastern NEB; ENEB), respectively. Lagged linear regressions between sea surface temperature (SST) and pseudo wind stress (PWS) anomalies over the entire TA and strong rainfall anomalies at Fortaleza and Recife show that the rainfall variability of these regions is differentially influenced by the dynamics of the TA. When the Intertropical Convergence Zone is abnormally displaced southward a few months prior to the NNEB rainy season, the associated meridional mode increases humidity and precipitation during the rainy season. Additionally, this study shows predictive effect of SST, meridional PWS, and barrier layer thickness, in the Northwestern equatorial Atlantic, on the NNEB rainfall. The dynamical influence of the TA on the June-July ENEB rainfall variability shows a northwestward-propagating area of strong, positively correlated SST from the southeastern TA to the southwestern Atlantic warm pool (SAWP) offshore of Brazil. Our results also show predictive effect of SST, zonal PWS, and mixed layer depth, in the SAWP, on the ENEB rainfall.

Larvicidal and Pupicidal Toxicities of <i>Plectranthus glandulosus</i> and <i>Callistemon rigidus</i> Leaf Essential Oils against Three Mosquito Species

Objective: To determine the mosquito larvicidal and pupicidal potencies of Cameroonian Plectranthus glandulosus and Callistemon rigidus leaf essential oils against 4 th instar larvae and early pupae of Anopheles gambiae , Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus . 
Methods: Twenty five early 4 th instar larvae and early pupae of An. gambiae , Ae. aegypti and Cx. quinquefasciatus were exposed to various concentrations ranging from 12.5-500 ppm and 2000 ppm for DDVP. The standard protocol of WHO 2005 was followed up under laboratory conditions. The larval and pupal mortalities were observed 24 h post-exposure. Probit analysis was used to determine the LC 50 and LC 90 
Results: The essential oil of the two plants showed significant larvicidal and pupicidal potential against all the target mosquito species. P. glandulosus caused LC 50 values of 2.66, 7.37 and 43.16 ppm against Ae. aegypti , An. gambiae and Cx. quinquefasciatus larvae, respectively and 27.22, 22.60 and 104.75 ppm against Ae. aegypti , An. gambiae and Cx. quinquefasciatus pupae, respectively. C. rigidus displayed LC 50 values of 66.67, 99.61 and 176.81 ppm against Ae. aegypti , An. gambiae and Cx. quinquefasciatus larvae, respectively and 50.95, 47.63 and 307.19 ppm against Ae. aegypti , An. gambiae and Cx. quinquefasciatus pupae, respectively 
Conclusion: These results suggest that the Cameroonian P. glandulosus and C. rigidus leaf essential oils can be used as an ideal ecofriendly approach that may replace DDVP, the synthetic chemical, for vector control programs.
The role of sodium in photovoltaic devices under high voltage stress: A holistic approach to understand unsolved aspects

Abstract The paper reviews the role of sodium in the degradation of PV devices under high voltage stress with the purpose to identify issues still not solved and to introduce a comprehensive method of investigation. If a limited amount of Na diffusion into the CIGS cell structure is beneficial for the cell performance, on the other side when moving in the module structure it could create unpleasant effects, like corrosion and shunts. Soda-lime glass with a concentration of sodium around 13–15% is widely used both as cell substrate and as front layer in PV modules. Glass is not a static material and Na movement is easily activated by different triggering causes (stress, voltage bias, environmental variables). This paper is considered a prelude to further research. For this reason, a methodological approach is outlined, with emphasis on the consideration that PV devices, such as modules, are complex systems of systems. Recalling methodological discussions both in system engineering and in risk analysis, the proposed approach emphasizes the importance to study such complex systems adopting a holistic approach, thus taking into consideration interactions between system components and the surrounding environment. Probabilistic risk analysis (PRA) is suggested as a valid method for representing and understanding the interactions between different system components and environmental factors, while studying system reliability and risks for electricity supply.
Physical Violence Detection for Preventing School Bullying

School bullying is a serious problem among teenagers, causing depression, dropping out of school, or even suicide. It is thus important to develop antibullying methods. This paper proposes a physical bullying detection method based on activity recognition. The architecture of the physical violence detection system is described, and a Fuzzy Multithreshold classifier is developed to detect physical bullying behaviour, including pushing, hitting, and shaking. Importantly, the application has the capability of distinguishing these types of behaviour from such everyday activities as running, walking, falling, or doing push-ups. To accomplish this, the method uses acceleration and gyro signals. Experimental data were gathered by role playing school bullying scenarios and by doing daily-life activities. The simulations achieved an average classification accuracy of 92%, which is a promising result for smartphone-based detection of physical bullying.
