Therapeutic lighting design for the elderly: a review

Aims: Research suggests that specialised lighting design is essential to cater for the elderly users of a building because of reduced visual performance with increased age. This review aims to document what is known of the physical and psychological aspects of lighting and their role in promoting a healthy and safe environment for the elderly. Methods: A methodical review was carried out of published literature on the physical and psychological impacts of light on the elderly. Design standards and guides from professional organizations were evaluated to identify synergies and gaps between the evidence base and current practice. Results: Lighting has been identified as a significant environmental attribute responsible for promoting physical and mental health of the elderly. The evidence related to visual performance was found to be robust. However, guides and standards appeared to have focused mostly on illumination requirements for specific tasks and have lacked detailed guidelines on vertical lighting and luminance design. This review has identified a growing body of evidence on the therapeutic benefits of lighting and its use in treating psychological disorders among the elderly. The experiments using light as a therapy have improved our understanding of the underlying principles, but the integration of therapeutic aspects of lighting in design practice and guidelines is lacking. Conclusions: While design guidelines discuss the physical needs of lighting for the elderly fairly well, they lack incorporation of photobiological impacts. Despite positive outcomes from research, the implementation of therapeutic aspects of lighting in buildings is still debatable due to insufficient relevant investigations and robustness of their findings. Collaborations between designers and physicians can contribute in delivering customised lighting solutions by considering disease types and needs. Further investigation needs to be carried out for translating therapeutic benefits to photometric units to implement them in building lighting design.
Novel enhancers of functional recovery after stroke

Several forms of neuroadaptation are controlled by transient increases in the nuclear calcium concentration. Nuclear calcium regulates expression of crucial genes and alterations of this signaling network likely underlie many neurological disorders. Our work led us to design two innovative strategies exploiting the therapeutic potential of nuclear calcium signaling: 1-developing direct nuclear calcium signaling activators/inhibitors (NCSA/I) and 2-manipulating expression and/or function of nuclear calcium targets. 
The proposed activities and budget - taking the ERC-PoC stroke study as the model project – will be used to meet the essential pre-commercial requirements prior starting up a company focusing on early drug discovery in the area of targeted nuclear calcium signaling modulation:

R&D objectives: 1-PoC to validate our lead mimicking a stroke-protective regulator: VEGFD; 2-Add novel drug targets & assays and transfer to screening partner; 3-Mass screening and lead validation to expand IP;
Business objectives: 1-Manage emerging IP platform; 2-Complete fund raising during ERC funding period; 3-Close early drug discovery partnership.

As part of the ERC project 233024, we identified a nuclear-calcium dependent gene, VEGFD, as a new anti-stroke drug target. We showed that VEGFD regulates neuronal morphology and cognition and demonstrated that VEGFD delivery in the mouse brain prevents stroke-induced dendritic loss and promotes long-term recovery. We selected a highly biologically active VEGFD peptide mimetic (VPM) as our first lead for a conceptually novel nasal spray stroke therapy. 

Senior business experts advised and helped us to establish a business plan and to pre-negotiate collaborative partnerships with companies and institutions required to deliver on our objectives. 
Thus, by partnering with industry professionals we were able to define a clear go-to-commercialization strategy while minimizing risks originating from possible lack of business experience.
Carbyne transfer catalysis for c(sp2)–c(sp2) bond (radio)fluorinations

This proposal aims to develop a new C–F bond-forming strategy that exploits C–C double bonds as functional groups by means of carbyne transfer catalysis. We want to develop a general and functional group tolerant process that can use petrochemical feedstocks, fine chemicals as well as complex molecules containing alkene functionalities. The new reaction introduce asymmetry within the skeletal structure of the olefin and reach valuable secondary and tertiary allylic fluorides that are difficult or not possible to make by current methodologies based on nucleophilic fluorination. The background and leadership of the Experience Researcher (ER) are key to successfully develop the proposed project and will allow the ER and the Host group to develop a new fluorination reaction that has the potential to have broad impact in the synthesis of fluorinated bioactive molecules. A key strength of this proposal is the introduction of a secondment in the Centre for Cooperative Research in Biomaterials (CICbiomaGUNE) to develop radiolabeling studies with nucleophilic [18F]-fluoride sources. With the development of this project, the ER will acquire new scientific training in carbyne transfer catalysis, C–C bond cleavage and (radio)fluorinations, strength leadership skills by co-supervising a PhD student and to introduce the Host group into radiolabeling techniques to impact PET imaging. The host group and ICIQ have the full commitment to aid the fellow to reach a position as independent academic.
Formas de condicionar la verdad con el uso del montaje en La pelota vasca

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo estudiar la construcción de sentido en La pelota vasca. La piel contra la piedra (Julio Medem, 2003), el documental sobre terrorismo que más éxito comercial y más polémica ha generado en el cine español. A través de un análisis del montaje, este artículo busca descubrir las pautas, esquemas o estructuras narrativas utilizadas por el director para construir el texto fílmico y para influir en la opinión de los espectadores. Para ello se ha creado una base de datos que permite un minuicioso análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de todAs las intervenciones que hay en la película. Esta propuesta metodológica pretende servir al análisis de otros documentales con similares características narrativas. Las conclusiones obtenidas muestran que el director usa la estructura de parte del documental y las entrevistas a diferentes personalidades del País Vasco para configurar un sentido propio de lo que denomina conflicto vasco, que está muy cercano a las tesis nacionalistas. Queda demostrada la crítica a la acción del PP en sus años de gobierno y el deterioro de la imagen del Estado, principalmente a través de un 80% de referencias negativas sobre las fuerzas de seguridad del Estado. También se prueba que las personas entrevistadas son más o menos creíbles dependiendo de cómo quedan situadas dentro del montaje y de si otros personajes refutan o respaldan lo que dicen.
The rise of judicial self-government: changing the architecture of separation of powers without an architect

Many European states have transferred decision-making powers regarding court administration and the career of a judge from political bodies to special organs in which judges have a major say. Judicial councils and other bodies of judicial self-government (JSG) spread particularly quickly during the European Union (EU) Accession Process. However, the effects of these bodies are not fully understood, as the traditional descriptive and normative scholarship is not able to capture them. JUDI-ARCH will fill this gap and address the implications of this phenomenon for the “new” as well as “old” EU member states. 
The central research question of JUDI-ARCH is: how the rise of JSG has changed the concept of separation of powers? More specifically, the JUDI-ARCH proposal consists of three interrelated research aims. The first is to assess the impact of JSG on public confidence in and the independence, accountability, transparency and legitimacy of the domestic judiciaries of 14 European states and the two European supranational courts, both the actual and the perceived. The second aim is to examine what impact the rulings of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) have had on domestic judicial design and, vice versa, how has domestic judicial design affected the selection of judges of the ECtHR and the CJEU. The third overarching aim is to analyse the impact of JSG on the concept of separation of powers. 
A major innovation in our approach will be the integration of comparative legal perspective with sociological and political science approaches. We will conduct in-depth conceptual, qualitative and quantitative case studies on the impact of different models of JSG in both “new” and “old” EU Member States, including longitudinal quantitative analysis of the use of mechanisms of judicial independence and accountability before and after the creation of a JSG body and in-depth elite interviews.
Accelerating water smartness in coastal europe

B-WaterSmart will accelerate the transformation to water-smart economies and societies in coastal Europe and beyond. We will apply a large-scale systemic innovation approach to select, connect and demonstrate a tailored suite of technology, management and smart data solutions for multiple users and sectors, and create new business models based on circular economy and water-smartness. We bring together six cities and regions as living labs with high ambitions to address water-related challenges and opportunities – Alicante (ES), Bodø (NO), Flanders (BE), Lisbon (PT), East Frisia (DE), Venice (IT) – selected for complementarity of scale, users, sectors and challenges, and for opportunities of mutual learning, replication & upscaling through a network of followers already mobilised. We built each case around the actual problem-owner (water utility, municipality), a research partner, innovative solution providers and market-uptake partners (6 are SMEs), complemented by partners with specific crosscutting expertise (social sciences & humanities, IT, business development, water sector outreach). We will apply a participatory approach for co-creation & implementation of solutions through local Communities of Practice and a joint innovation alliance of problem owners, and develop recommendations for suitable governance models, regulation & policy instruments. We will deliver a novel framework to assess gains in water-smartness and sustainability at different scales. Our cases will demonstrate in real systems, at multiple scales, a range of promising technologies for water reuse/nutrient recovery, and smart data applications for more efficient, safe allocation & use of resources (water, energy, nutrients). For the apps, we build on FIWARE technology to enable interoperability and exchange across sectors, which is key for systemic change. All cases have defined criteria and target values to achieve by the project end and by 2040, and can build on synergies with other funding.
An analysis and measurement of joints developed in typical orefields of the Gejiu tin-copper polymetallic ore concentration area,Yunnan Province

Gejiu is one of the largest polymetallic tin ore concentration areas in the world and belongs to a granite-related magmatic-hydrothermal system.Its ore-controlling structural characteristics are very obvious.In this paper,the authors selected the joints developed in the Songshujiao orefield,Laochang orefield and Kafang orefield as the research objects,measured and statistically analyzed the modes of occurrence of joints developed in tunnels in combination with surface,and made a comparative analysis of the rock-controlling structures and ore-controlling structures.Statistics show that the variation regularity of the predominant joints within the orefields has several characteristics from north to south and in vertical direction: 1) the main predominant ore-hosting joints are in NE,NW,NS and EW directions,especially the NW-trending joints constitute an important ore-hosting structure in recent exploration and development of the western segment of the ore concentration area.2)The predominant directions of the joints developed in granite are different in the north and south parts of this mining area.The directions of joints in the north part are single and concentrated,being mainly NW306°-312° and NE45°,while orientations of the joints in the south part are complex and are mainly NE50°,N-S,EW,NW312°-324° and WNW280°.3) Statistical measurements and analyses of the joints in the carbonate rocks suggest that the joint development in the north segment is relatively simple,while that in the south part of the mining area is complex.4) The joints in the Songshujiao orefield show some regularity in the vertical direction.From surface to the depth,the orientation of joints in carbonate strata is NE50° in the shallow part and NS-striking in the depth;the orientation of joints in the granite is mainly NW306°-312°in the shallow part and NE45° in the depth.The regional stress field of middle-late Yanshanian metallogenic period in Gejiu area was NW-SE trending compressive stress and then converted into the NS trending reverse shear stress.The newly discovered NW-trending ore-hosting joints constitute an important structure in the west segment,and the scales,advantages and origins of the ore-hosting joints in the north segment and the south segment of the mining area are obviously different.These phenomena deserve much attention in the further exploration and prospecting work.The NE and NS trending joints connected the granite body with carbonate rocks and served as the channels of heat,water and ore source.The results obtained by the authors will provide geological structural evidence for the relationship between ore field structures and mineralization and can guide further ore-prospecting work in the depth and the outskirts of the ore district.
Long-Term investment

The typical 20th-century firm was capital-intensive and competed on cost efficiency.  The 21st-century firm is different.  Competitive success increasingly depends on product quality, which in turn hinges on intangible assets such as brand strength, innovation, and corporate culture.  Unlike tangible investment such as buying a factory, the fruits of intangible investment may take several years to appear.  A manager pressured to maximise short-term earnings may fail to invest, jeopardising the long-term future of his firm.  This project will study the determinants and consequences of long-term investment through three linked components.

Financial Markets.  The traditional view is that financial markets dissuade investment by forcing firms to cater to short-term shareholders.  I will study two channels through which markets promote investment.  First, traders gather information about a firm’s past investments and incorporate it into stock prices by trading - rewarding the manager for good investment.  Second, traders can gather information about a firm’s future investment opportunities - informing the manager about his future investment decisions.  I aim to analyse what determines the efficiency of both channels. 

Incentives.  Most research on incentives focuses on either the level of pay, or the sensitivity of pay to performance, but it is the horizon of incentives that is key to promoting investment.  I will theoretically analyse the optimal incentive horizon, and empirically demonstrate how it affects long-term decisions.  Moving beyond managers, I will study how to incentivise teachers to focus on their pupils’ long-run development rather than “teaching-to-the-test.”

Effects of Investment.  A key to inducing long-run investment is to demonstrate its benefits, but this is difficult due to data availability.  I aim to gather data on a firm’s corporate social responsibility – its investment in its stakeholders – and link it to firm value.
Novel industrial processes using the atomic layer deposition technique

Different from chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and physical vapor deposition (PVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD) is based on saturated surface reactions. In this case, the thin films are grown in a layer-by-layer fashion allowing sub-nanometer thickness control, low temperature depositions, good uniformity and superior step coverage on high specific surface area components compared to CVD and PVD.
These advantages of ALD over other thin film deposition processes have been conventionally applied mainly in semiconductor electronic industry on the preparation of layers of outstanding High-K dielectric materials. 
But, due to the advances in tool design and recipe development, the importance of ALD is rapidly expanding for producing innovative nanoscale materials. 
ALD new applications are highly multidisciplinar. It has an emerging potential on photovoltaic cells, flexible electronics, enhanced performance glass, paper and textiles, new generation transistors, sensors, and advanced energy materials technology. Innovations brought by nanotechnology to biosciences and biosensors are also proving to be good candidates to benefit from these potentialities and its surface funcionalization.
Under this scenario, this proposal intends to built up an outstanding Research and Development department at a recently created SME (CTECHnano) that will be focused on extending the applications of ALD technique to all the emerging and/or unexplored industrial areas mentioned above. This action will contribute to enhance european industry competitiveness on the surface modification manufacture.
TUBE OF A HEAT EXCHANGER AND PROCEDURE OF MANUFACTURING OF A HELIX FOR SUCH A TUBE

A heat exchanger tube with elliptical or oval cross-section in a stream of external gas, esp. air, has the internally flowing liq., esp. water, turbidified by a helically bent strip varying in width so that its edges are in contact with the tube walls along both major and minor axes of the cross-section. The pitch of the helix depends on difference between these axes. Before twisting to helical form, e.g. by rollers, the initial strip is cut from flat metal or plastic stock by forming wavy sepn. lines from adjacent strips along both edges, with the wave shapes in conformity to avoid forming cutting scrap. Twisting may also be provided on leaving an extrusion nozzle, or by multiple punches.
A Study of Elementary and Secondary Teacher Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Aging and the Implementation of Aging Education in Taiwan

This study surveys elementary and secondary teachers in Taiwan and compares the findings with other studies conducted in America and Japan. The objective is to explore differences among teachers in Taiwan, Japan, and the United States in terms of their knowledge of, and attitudes toward, aging and the implementation of aging education in schools. Multistage sampling was adopted, with a total of 1038 Taiwanese elementary and secondary teachers sampled. It was found that while knowledge of aging among Taiwanese teachers appears lower in comparison with American teachers, their attitudes toward aging are largely consistent with their American counterparts. In addition, Taiwanese teachers seem to offer just as little aging education in schools as their American and Japanese counterparts. Lastly, Taiwanese teacher attitudes toward aging, rather than their knowledge of aging, correlate closely to their provision of aging education in schools. Educational authorities should, therefore, offer teachers pre- and in...
European disasters in urban centres: a culture expert network (3c – cities, cultures, catastrophes)

EDUCEN is a coordination and support action that will work on the complex interplay between culture(s) and disaster risk reduction, above all in the context of cities, to allow in particular formal and informal emergency responders, risk managers, the military, urban planners and planners at regional and national level to be better equipped to deal with elements of culture, and as a result to ensure highly competent disaster responses and increasing community resilience. It is our contention that disaster risk reduction policies and practices are intrinsically cultural as they emerge from and are therefore largely shaped by the interplay of cultures prevalent at both the community, organisational and institutional level. Therefore any endeavour aimed at improving disaster risk reduction efforts should be founded on a comprehensive understanding and appreciation of this interplay and more importantly of the influential role of culture on the way people prepare for, experience, respond, and recover from disasters. EDUCEN will achieve its objectives this by firstly allowing knowledge and understanding of culture(s) in light of disaster risk reduction to become accessible to relevant stakeholders and secondly by encouraging, enabling and sustaining multi-stakeholder dialogue through which academics, practitioners and communities can actively engage and share knowledge, expertise and experiences which will enable all to strengthen their capabilities and impact, but most importantly will allow for both formal and informal risk managers and planners and spatial planners emergency responders in cities to be better informed and guided. The final product will be a multi-level, multi-media handbook, including visuals, maps, written narratives, and videos to support disaster risk reduction professionals to better appraise relevant cultural aspects in their own ‘community of practice’ as well as in the environment where they intervene.
