The Impact of the Chinese Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) On Sino-EU Relations: The Leverage between Investment and Human Rights

Abstract Sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) have been rapidly redefining the traditional paradigms, providing both much-needed capitals as well as posing particular challenges for policy makers. The role of SWFs, which are becoming increasingly involved in the global financial markets, has often been underestimated in the discourse of the protection of human rights. The tâtonnement processes of bargaining between home and host countries of SWFs indicate that the concern regarding human rights has maintained a sensible balance between protecting the rights of individuals and the benefits that large capital investments offer for both host and home countries. The challenge still remains as to whether the presumption that the promotion of SWFs investment is going to retard the promotion of human rights would not be rebutted even in terms of the new global regulatory framework.

Intentions in action: establishing the neural causes of intentional action

The neuroscientific study of intentional action has produced puzzling and contradictory results: intentions show up at a variety of brain locations, and up to ten seconds before a decision has been made. Recently, it has been argued that intentions do not underlie voluntary action at all. At the same time neural states have been found that could be correlated with future actions, suggesting a role for intentions after all. The proposed project suggests that the cause of these seemingly contrasting results lies in the heterogeneous composition of everyday actions, consisting of both immediate and future-directed components. The proposed research promises to go to the bottom of this controversy by investigation what types of actions can be accomplished without discrete states like intentions, and for what types of actions intentions are needed. It will do so by looking for common factors in brain states underlying actions using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Particularly, it will be investigated whether similarity in motor acts, actions, or contexts are crucial for finding commonalities in brain states.  
Next, it will be investigated whether immediate actions and future actions differ with respect to the neural control processes, thereby directly testing the applicability of a philosophical distinction to neuroscientific research. 

Finally, it will be assessed whether these processes are unique for self-chosen actions, or also apply to cued actions as well. This will relate the study of intentional action directly to adjacent scientific fields studying prospective memory and task sets.

By solving these issues the proposed research sets out to create a novel and detailed account of intentional action which will function as a framework for future research in philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience.

The ghostworker's well-being: an integrative framework

Artificial intelligence depends on human labour to conduct tasks such as data cleaning, coding, and classifying content. This on-demand work is offered and performed online, paid by the task, on platforms like Amazon Mechanical Turk. Conceptualized as ‘ghost work’, this rapidly growing, platform-based work is largely unseen: workers are unable to speak with managers, do not get feedback, and lack labour protections. How do these specific work conditions influence ghost workers’ well-being? To ensure decent work conditions as automation continues to expand, knowledge about the effects of ghost work on well-being is urgently needed.

The proposed project will develop and test an integrative framework for analysing the effects of ghost work on worker’s well-being. Existing models for analysing the impact of work conditions on well-being fall short for studying ghost work, as these models assume a person has a job and most likely an employer and colleagues. Therefore, this project begins from the specificities of ghost work to synthesize theories and concepts about algorithmic control, occupational well-being, human computation, and platform labour, in order to understand how and through which mechanisms ghost work influences well-being.

The project will contribute to and advance cross-disciplinary scholarship on platform labour and organizational studies of algorithmic technologies. Using a multi-methodological approach to study the effects of ghost work, it begins with in-depth interview-based fieldwork on ghostworkers’ work conditions, and then entails qualitative diary studies of the short-term dynamics of ghost work for worker’s work conditions and well-being. Finally, a 4-wave longitudinal panel study will investigate the relationship between ghost work and well-being over time. Scholars in multiple fields, as well as policy makers and industry leaders, will be keenly interested in both the resulting integrative framework and empirical findings.
Virtual try-ons of garments enabling novel human fashion interactions

The primary objective of eTryOn is to revolutionize the interaction between users (i.e. fashion designers and consumers) and fashion items, by researching and developing technologies that allow virtual tryons of garments. In this direction, the main research, innovation and technological endeavours of eTryOn are to develop technology for: a) generating personal photorealistic 3D avatars of the user, b) automatically simulating the interaction between 3D user avatars and digital garments (i.e. size fitting and visualization of interactions during body movements), and c) extracting fashion insights from user preference data and generating fashion recommendations. By combining the high-quality experience offered by photorealistic personal avatars, their natural interaction with virtual garments, and the accurate fashion insights/recommendations with the use of interactive technologies like Virtual/Augmented reality, eTryOn provides future interactive solutions for Human Fashion Interaction. More specifically, three interactive solutions will be developed: i) Creative fashion app: a VR application targeting fashion designers, facilitating them throughout the creative process of garment design by offering realistic fitting of the digital garments on photorealistic 3D avatars, ii) Social fashion app: a mobile application for social media users (e.g. influencers), allowing them to virtually change their outfit in an image/video by selecting from a pool of digital garments and then upload it to social media, and iii) ecommerce fashion app: a mobile-based AR magic mirror enabling virtual tryons of garments during online shopping that aims to recreate at home the experience of buying clothes from a physical store.
Extreme soliton driven light sources

Many important breakthroughs in science have occurred when investigating the laws of nature at extremes. Strong-field effects, such as relativistic plasma dynamics, high-harmonic generation and laser-driven particle acceleration, appear at extreme intensities of electromagnetic fields. By using very short laser pulses and focusing them very tightly, these effects and their applications come within reach of table-top systems. I will explore extreme strong-field physics at the fundamental limits of spatio-temporal confinement and open the door to a completely new regime of strong-field interactions in the vacuum ultraviolet. I will achieve this by scaling soliton-driven light sources in hollow capillary fibres by two orders of magnitude in power compared to the state of the art.

I will create optical attosecond pulses (sub-cycle electric field transients in the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum) with multi-terawatt peak power and excellent pulse contrast, with homogeneous linear polarisation, circular polarisation, or as radial vector beams. The latter can be focused to sub-wavelength spot sizes and create a relativistic electric field in the longitudinal direction. In combination with the sub-cycle duration, this will be a completely unique driving pulse for plasma physics and particle acceleration. I will use these pulses for the generation of high-energy isolated extreme ultraviolet and X-ray attosecond pulses from plasma mirrors and for the creation of isolated multi-MeV attosecond electron bunches using in-vacuum strong-field electron acceleration, both in a compact table-top system.

I will generate few-femtosecond pulses tuneable across the vacuum ultraviolet (100 nm to 200 nm) with 300 GW peak power, opening the door to a regime of ultraviolet-driven strong-field and relativistic nonlinear effects in both gases and plasmas that has been almost entirely inaccessible, and hence unexplored.
Shall We Play the Festschrift Game?: Essays on the Occasion of Lauri Carlson's 60th Birthday

There are not many people who can be said to have influenced and impressed researchers in so many disparate areas and language-geographic fields as Lauri Carlson, as is evidenced in the present Festschrift. His insight and acute linguistic sensitivity and linguistic rationality have spawned findings and research work in many areas, from non-standard etymology to hardcore formal linguistics, not forgetting computational areas such as parsing, terminological databases, and, last but not least, machine translation. In addition to his renowned and widely acknowledged insights in tense and aspect and its relationship with nominal quantification, and his ground-breaking work in dialog using game-theoretic machinery, Lauri has in the last fifteen years as Professor of Language Theory and Translation Technology contributed immensely to areas such as translation, terminology and general applications of computational linguistics. The three editors of the present volume have successfully performed doctoral studies under Lauris supervision, and wish with this volume to pay tribute to his supervision and to his influence in matters associated with research and scientific, linguistic and philosophical inquiry, as well as to his humanity and friendship.
Algorithm for healthy eating habits

MENUTERRANEUS aims to improve the quality of life of European citizens, fighting a growing problem in Europe and very present in the policies of the World Health Organization, OECD and the European Commission. Specifically, Menuterraneus intends to help European families to plan their meals, using an algorithm that functions according to nutritional parameters, promoting healthy eating habits.

The project is a pioneering solution in Europe, where the systems developed by the competitors are based on templates. In addition, many of them belong to food Companies or groups, so have and have a dependence on their brands when setting the menus.

For the moment, a limited technical concept (a basic algorithm) has been developed and tested geographically: the Spanish market. The results have been so far positive, with 83,000 registered users, using a free application, and 3 market channels have been explored: discount coupons, publicity regarding supermarkets or food groups by integrating shopping lists and licensed products.

The present study aims to study the feasibility of the project from 3 perspectives:

- Geographical: from a global European perspective, although, the study is to focus   initially in Germany, the UK and France, these countries being considered representative.
- Technological: by developing a complex algorithm, which collects the habits of different European countries, and includes special features such as vegetarian diets, celiac, etc.
- Economical: by the exploration of the 3 marketing channels already mentioned, and other possibilities (freemium model).

To start the study, a significant effort will be devoted to know and compare the eating habits of the different selected European countries. To do so, partners, that have already been identified, will be contacted (nutritionists associations), they also may assist the implementation of the project in Phase II.
Migration, Policy, and Anthropology

In reviewing the articles in this special issue on the migration/policy/anthropology nexus, my comments will be in three parts: first, presenting a rough framework by which we might look at public policy in a way that bridges the academic and the practical; second, considering the actual cases presented in this special issue; and third, considering more broadly what the anthropological contribution might be to this complex and often acrimonious issue of migration policy. Throughout, the attempt is to search for a way of looking at migration policy that balances the inevitable academic critiques of public policy with a recognition of what public policy can and inevitably must be as a tool of societal discussion, planning, and progress.
Cooperation for Health

The Covid-19 pandemic is undoubtedly an obvious threat to public health that requires a huge commitment by the Italian, Greek and international scientific community aimed at a deeper knowledge of both the molecular mechanisms that cause the pathological condition and the evolutionary characteristics of the virus genome pathogen SARS-CoV-2. The COVID-19 outbreak has affected Member States in a sudden and dramatic manner and will have implications, specifically on the Greece Italy Programme territory. In Puglia, at the end of July 2020, there were over than 4,500 cases of COVID-19 (1,14‰ of the total population). According to the official data, 551 people have died for COVID-19 causes in Puglia. The profile of the sick people has an average age of 56 years out of which 51,2% are of male gender. In Greece, in the same period, there are 4,401 cases 20 died people for COVID-19 causes. With these data, it is clear the involvement of all the eligible area. Until today we are living a great impact of the COVID-19 and it is necessary to have a common approach in order to try to solve or to mitigate the problem. 
The COOFHEA project, indeed, will operate with three approaches: 
A. supporting Puglia Region and the Hospitals in the Greek eligible area to purchase the personal protective equipment and/or medical equipment (ventilators, beds, monitors, etc.);
B. supporting scientific research that will use a set of methods based on different types of approaches, to identify possible molecular mechanisms that can be exploited for the development of innovative and more efficient therapies;
C. sharing with the Greek hospitals the Puglia platform of telemedicine/clinical remote assistance. This is an innovative system with lets the monitoring of patients forced to quarantine for Covid-19 in their home, in order to avoid the hospitals costs, thanks to the "H-Casa" clinical remote assistance platform and to give a possibility of "normal life" to the population affected but not in a very serious way . With this differentiated approach it will be possible to give organic answers to a complex problem like COVID-19. AS we described before the project will provide a systematic approached to the requests of the territories. The combination of the three actions, purchasing of the the equipment, the research and the clinical remote assistance will give not only an answer to the territories but also will create a real and concrete network for the health in the Programming area between Puglia Region and the Greek Hospitals. We should underline also that in Italy the Regions have the institutional competences in order to organize the health system and to purchase the equipment. In Greece these competences are directly from the Ministry and the hospitals. For this reason in this project we choose Puglia Region as LB and the Greek Hospitals as PPs in order to give a real impact on the territories.
Building the capacity of Indonesian education universities for ICT in pre-service teacher education: A case study of a strategic planning exercise

&lt;span&gt;This paper documents how four Indonesian teacher education institutions (TEIs) engaged in strategic planning to build their capacity in developing pre-service teachers' ICT in education competencies. These TEIs adopted a holistic approach towards strategic planning by drawing upon the six dimensions of the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Capacity Building Toolkit&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; for TEIs in the Asia Pacific. The core dimension is the pre-service teacher education program (curriculum, assessment and practicum) that is driven by the vision and philosophy of a TEI. The program is supported by four other dimensions of professional learning, ICT plan, communication and partnerships, and research and evaluation. Three of the four TEIs focused their strategic planning on the development of pre-service teacher education programs, while one focused on research and evaluation. In the process, the TEIs identified support from the management as pivotal in the implementation of the plan. However, they also encountered challenges in senior staff's reluctance to change, lack of funding, and shortages of qualified staff.&lt;/span&gt;

A Dynamic Causality Study between Electricity Consumption and Economic Growth for Global Panel: Evidence from 76 Countries

This paper empirically examines the dynamic causal relationships between electricity consumption and economic growth for five different panels (namely high income, upper middle income, lower middle income, low income based on World Bank income classification and global) using time series data from 1960 to 2008. Three panel unit root tests results support that both the variables are integrated of order 1 for all panels except low income panel. Only the variable economic growth is integrated of order 1 for low income panel. The Kao and Johansen Fisher panel conintegration tests results support that both the variables are cointegrated for high income, upper middle income and global panels but for lower middle income and low income panels are not cointegrated. Bidirectional causality between economic growth and electricity consumption both in the short-run and long-run is found for high income, upper middle income and global panels from the Granger causality test results. Unidirectional short-run causality is found from economic growth to electricity consumption for lower middle income panel and no causal relationship is found for low income panel. It is found that the long-run elasticity of economic growth with respect to electricity consumption is higher for high income, upper middle income and for global panels indicates that over times higher electricity consumption gives rise to more economic growth in these panels.
A Simple and Rapid Method for Reducing Radiocesium Concentrations in Wild Mushrooms (Cantharellus and Boletus) in the Course of Cooking

ABSTRACT Many species of mushrooms are known accumulators of radioactive cesium (137Cs and 134Cs). Even years and decades after major nuclear accidents, especially those at Chernobyl and Fukushima, mushrooms exhibit high concentrations of these radionuclides. We investigated a simple method for reducing the activity of radiocesium in wild mushrooms (chanterelles, Cantharellus cibarius; and boleti, Boletus edulis) during cooking. The juice generated while cooking mushrooms contains a relatively high fraction of the total cesium. The amount of juice can be increased by washing the mushrooms with water prior to cooking. By removing the juice, up to 29% of the radiocesium can be easily removed from chanterelles. Because boleti have a lower affinity for cesium, activity levels were lower in boleti than in chanterelles. The fraction of radiocesium in the juice was lower in boleti than in chanterelles.
