Reshuffling our understanding of fundamental rights law in europe

Our continent is being shaken by a set of major challenges ranging from economic to security, refugee and rule of law crises. These events place unprecedented pressure on the institutional framework designed to hold Europe together since the second world war. 

The EU has emerged as the key player whenever the most fundamental rights of individuals are at stake. This is somewhat surprising. Since the 1950s, scientists have understood the European edifice as being based, on the one hand, on the Council of Europe designed to protect European values and fundamental rights in particular; and, on the other, on the EU intended to advance European (economic) integration. Therefore, it is the Council of Europe, an international organization distinct from the EU, that was initially placed at the forefront of fundamental rights protection. 

Yet, the EU is now taking the lead on setting fundamental rights standards. Benefits may be considerable where the EU offers strong institutional support. There may however also be a profound mismatch between the new function of the EU and its constitutional design. For instance, it may be inappropriate to address religious discrimination in employment – such as regulating the conditions for headscarf bans - through the same harmonization tools ensuring the free movement of goods. Are new concepts and legal tools needed to ensure trust in the EU system?

The principal investigator, an EU constitutional and fundamental rights expert, will critically assess the shift in the nature of the EU’s contribution to European fundamental rights law with a view to better defining the new function of the EU in the field and making recommendations to improve its ability to perform such a function. For that purpose, she will draw on three aspects: legal research highlighting the main features of this stronger decision-making powers of the EU; theory of law informing the implications of the EU’s new quest for European values; and political and social science investigating the impact on stakeholders’ strategies.

Cuba: reformas y bienestar. Un análisis de los bienes no monetarios

Nuestro estudio es el primer análisis que muestra la tendencia de la distribución del bienestar en Cuba, en el periodo de las reformas económicas y sociales impulsadas por el presidente Raúl Castro. Los análisis revelan que el bienestar, premisa del desarrollo humano y medido como acceso a bienes y servicios fundamentales y no monetarios, ha aumentado, a pesar de la crisis económica; en tanto que las desigualdades en el acceso al bienestar han aumentado poco en el periodo 2006-2011 y han disminuido en el periodo siguiente, para llegar en 2014 a un nivel ligeramente inferior al de 2006.
An intersectoral innovative solution involving digital tools, empowering families and integrating community care services for the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes and hypertension

DigiCare4You Consortium will jointly work with local stakeholders to deliver an intersectoral innovation involving digital tools for early screening, prevention and management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and hypertension (HTN). An implementation study will be conducted, targeting more than 10,000 families in two Middle Income Countries (Albania and Bulgaria) and two High Income Countries (Greece and Spain), considering vulnerable groups. Schools will be used as an entry point to the community and building on an existing procedure for children’s periodic growth assessment (conducted via school nurses or in collaboration with local community health centres), parents/ caregivers will be screened via a non-invasive self-reported digital screening tool. Those identified at high risk for T2D will be referred for glycaemia testing and blood pressure (BP) measurements at local community health centres. Parents/ caregivers confirmed to have pre-diabetes or diabetes (and possibly high BP) will be invited to join a mHealth self-management intervention coordinated by the community healthcare workforce. The goal of this intervention is not only to improve the health status of the users, but also empower the entire family in adopting a healthy lifestyle. To this end, schools and communities will also be actively engaged to promote health literacy, well-being and support lifestyle changes creating a more supportive social and physical environment for the entire community. Regular monitoring will be ongoing during the implementation to allow corrective actions and ensure effective adaptation and uptake. Based on the study outcomes, the in-depth health economic evaluation and budget impact analysis, and data deriving from a Scalability Assessment and Decision-Support tool, national and international stakeholders will be invited to evaluate, through a series of webinars and workshops, the scalability potential of the DigiCare4You solution in other regions or countries in Europe.
Efeito da ordem dos exercícios sobre o desempenho durante uma sessão de treinamento resistido no método circuito

The aim of this study was to compare total work volume, number of repeti-tions and rate of perceived effort performed in two different sequences of circuit training sessions. Eleven recreationally trained men (24.0 ± 4.8 years, 76.1 ± 8.5 kg, 1.75 ± 0.06 m) performed two different sequences of circuit training sessions. All sessions consisted of eight stations (exercises) of three sets in circuit, performed to volitional fatigue, alternating upper and lower body exercises, with 1-minute rest interval between exercises. Sequence A began with multiple joint exercises and progressed to single joint exercises, whereas sequence B was performed with the opposite exercise order. Number of repetitions and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were compared by repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance (repeated measures MANOVA). Total work volume (TWV) was compared by paired t-test. There were no differences between exercise order for TWV (p=0.47) and RPE of all exercises (p&gt;0.05). For both sequences, number of repetitions was greater when exercise was performed first (p&lt;0.05). These results indicate that during a circuit training session, exercises order influenced the number of repetition, but did not influence TWV and RPE. These findings may suggest that for those who aim overall muscular gains, similar results will be obtained with single and multiple joint, upper and lower body circuit training exercise orders. Similarly, exercise intensity will be similarly perceived regardless of exercise sequences. For those who aim specific muscle group gains, priority exercises must be performed first.
Development of a mixed binary integer programming model for nurse-patient assignment

In every hospital, during a typical working shift, patients’ conditions are varied. Some of them only need usual care activities while others may need higher care levels. The process of nurse-patient assignment occurs at the beginning of each shift. In this process, the head nurse assigns a number of patients to each nurse throughout the shift. The difference between patient conditions makes it difficult for the head nurse to generate an assignment with balanced nurse workloads. In this paper, a mixed binary integer programming model is developed for generating assignments with balanced workloads for nurses. Infants’ ward of a hospital is considered as case study and an existing acuity system which quantifies the workload of each patient is used to examine the performance of the model. The results of this study clearly illustrate the capabilities of the proposed model in generating optimal assignment that balances the workload of nurses by minimizing the difference between maximum and minimum acuity assigned to nurses
Lifebots exchange - creating a new reality of care and welfare through the inclusion of social robots.

The project aims enhancing cross-sector, international and interdisciplinary collaboration in the area of social robotics technology for care. Are robots ready for society, and is society ready for robots? How can social robots can be included in people’s lives? Robots are increasingly being used in the healthcare sector as a potential solution to the current and future challenges faced by the healthcare sector.  Due to the global population ageing, by 2035 the world is projected to lack 12.9 million healthcare professionals (WHO: 2013). Social robots may benefit the quality life and wellbeing of patients, their families and healthcare professionals. Evidence and much of the needed knowledge are still lacking. Strong interdisciplinarity and cross-sectorial research and innovation activity is needed. A knowledge hub for social robotics will be created with a threefold aim: (1) To enhance the competencies of involved staff members, refining and focusing their skills; (2) To build a tri-sectoral network involving academia, industry and users of technology, and (3) to create an enduring network that will outlive the grant funding. The core of the project includes some of the strongest actors in international research, SMEs and user organisations, focusing on three  activity lines: technological, sociological, care-and-welfare. To be able to understand the impact of introducing social robots in care, the three areas that will be affected by this technical evolution will be researched: (1) care provided as medical practice; this is the care given to patients in hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centres and other medical facilities. (2) residential care - this area refers to all care institutions accepting patient/clients as residents: elderly homes, nursing homes, special needs schools for children or adults, etc. (3) family care, investigating how social robots can be implemented in the home, and as a part of domestic life.
MED EMPORION

The project's aim is to valorize local markets as strengths for urban development. The idea of the project is to valorize the links between towns and markets and is based on the assumption that markets play a central role within the towns and territories from an economic, cultural, social and touristic approach, as well as in the spatial planning because they create activity, trade, tourism, and cohesion. Markets are a natural laboratory of intercultural dialogue. The project proposes the trans national cooperation of different towns in the MED zone that experienced a long tradition of economic, commercial and urban development linked with the existence of local markets. The market is indeed a place for gathering, but also a place for living and meeting of different cultures: markets are filling a spatial function within city centers. This is why the project proposes the implementation of common trans national actions that are: one research about the valorization of markets, and another one about local food production (and its valorization in local markets places); 4 local pilot actions about the urban regeneration of local markets and, the organization of food festivals in the different partnering towns, the implementation of a large integrated communication campaign and the organization of visits and trans national working groups (focus groups).
IOT Assisted MQTT for Segregation and Monitoring of Waste for Smart Cities

In this paper, we propose a design for segregation and monitoring of waste using Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) in order to manage the waste collection. Smart waste management is essential for maintaining clean environment. Because, now-a-days unorganized and non-systematic waste collection is the major issue in the society. Therefore, in need of solution to collect waste in effective manner. The solution for this problem is given by embedded IoT system that will monitor the amount of waste deposited, for which an integrated platform where segregation and monitoring of waste have been presented. In segregation part, wastes are separated as dry waste and wet waste and in monitoring part, the bins with dry and wet wastes are embedded with sensors and the level of bin is transmitted via IoT. IoT is the system of interrelated computing devices which transfer data without requiring human to human interaction, it also introduce economical solution for massive data collection. The proprietary communication protocol that is used for transmission is MQTT. This protocol is the very light weight protocol used for messaging, designed with embedded systems, sensors and mobile applications in mind.

Spray drying of the mountain tea (Sideritis stricta) water extract by using different hydrocolloid carriers

Abstract The water extract of the mountain tea was spray-dried by using different food hydrocolloids viz. β-cyclodextrin (BCD), arabic gum (AG), and maltodextrins (MD19 and MD12) as carrier materials. Powdered samples were then subjected to product yield, moisture content, water activity, bulk density, solubility, color (Lab) and SEM particle microstructure analyses. Furthermore, color (Lab), turbidity (NTU), total phenolic content (TPC), total antioxidant activity (TAA) and volatile compound (β-pinene) analyses were performed on the reconstituted mountain tea samples. The product yield increased with the addition of the carrier materials whereas decreased at higher drying temperatures. The inlet air temperature of 155 °C provided the better retention for β-pinene. Almost all physicochemical properties of the spray-dried mountain tea samples were significantly (P
Ethyl Pyruvate Improves Healing of Colonic Anastomosis in a Rat Model of Peritonitis

Background. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of ethyl pyruvate (EP) on wound healing in primary colonic anastomoses in intraperitoneal sepsis. Methods. Standard left colon resection and end-to-end anastomosis were performed on 30 rats. They were grouped as control (C)—no further treatment; sepsis (S)—received 2 mL Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) intraperitoneally (IP), and after 5 hours, standard resection and anastomosis were performed; or sepsis-group treated with EP (S-EP)—received 2 mL E coli IP, after 5 hours, standard resection and anastomosis were performed and treated with EP 50 mg/kg IP for 7 days. On the postoperative day 7, the animals were sacrificed. Results. The anastomosis bursting pressure in group S was significantly lower than in the other groups. There were no differences between groups C and S-EP. Tissue hydroxyproline concentrations in group C were significantly higher than in group S. Conclusions. EP administration prevented intraperitoneal sepsis-induced impaired anastomotic healing of colon.
Emotional Distress, Alexithymia, and Coping as Predictors of Cardiac Rehabilitation Outcomes and Attendance

The purpose of this study was to examine emotional distress, alexithymia, and coping styles as predictors of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) outcomes and attendance.Participants included 56 patients in an outpatient CR program (65% male, 59% white, M = 61.1 years) who completed self-report measures of emotional distress (ie, depressive and anxiety symptoms), alexithymia, and coping styles (ie, approach and avoidance coping). CR outcomes recorded at entry and completion of the program included blood cholesterol, oxygen uptake ((Equation is included in full-text article.)VO(2max)), knowledge about cardiac disease, and self-reported lipid consumption. Attendance was also recorded as a measure of adherence.Significant improvements were observed in oxygen uptake, high-density lipoprotein levels, disease knowledge, and self-reported lipid consumption. Older age was associated with less distress, and anxiety and higher education were associated with better attendance. Higher alexithymia (ie, greater difficulty processing emotion) was associated with increased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and alexithymia predicted increased self-reported lipid consumption in the context of higher approach coping.CR is associated with physical and quality-of-life benefits, as well as increased knowledge about cardiac disease management. However, coping strategies that are generally beneficial (approach coping) may be associated with negative health behavior among individuals who have difficulty processing emotion. Anxiety and lower education were associated with poorer attendance, perhaps indicating the need for intervention to prevent dropout.
Ai profiling for smarter customer targeting

Audience profiling is one of the key activities for marketers and brands in order to deter-mine interest profiles of their customers and their propensity to click/buy and therefore make smarter business decisions. Profiling is used in many areas, from e-commerce, to customer management and digital advertising (a market that moves over $228 billion worldwide). However, keyword-based current solutions come short in terms of accuracy (only 63% of context understanding the human way), while solutions using third-party data will become obsolete with the GDPR coming in action this May. ADmantX is a smart data provider that facilitates advanced brand planning and targeting within the digital advertising industry. We have 20 years of experience in context analysis for targeted online advertising, using semantic tools and proprietary patented NLP technology that makes our solution the most efficient on the market, understanding and analysing consumer data in a human-like manner.  Our AI profiling is using a combination of semantic + keyword based analysis and including an emotional and sentiment module we can obtain 95% accuracy, increase by 200% CTR, and by 300% brand awareness. Furthermore, by basing our solution in first-party customer data only, we are the only EU-company that is fully GDPR compliant. AI Profiling results have been consolidated with initials A/B tests with major companies from our current clients (Sky Italy) and our focus in now on providing better visualization tools, scaling, integrating with major bidding platforms and reach new markets outside EU, getting a €5 million accumulated profit and 2,38 ROI by year 5.
Beyond illusion : a juridical genealogy of consent in criminal and medical law

Consent is a concept used frequently and with great significance in a wide array of legal fields. It serves to regulate relationships, legitimize authority, delimit normality, and entrench idealized ways of being in the world. Yet despite the consequence of these functions, there is very little precision within legal scholarship about just what consent is. Few investigations of its definitional content depart from presumptive statements about personal autonomy. These associations are often described as the ‘common sense’ of consent and serve to secure a foundationalist discourse about what consent is, rendering alternative conceptions of its meaning or functions unintelligible. This is perhaps best evidenced in more critical approaches to consent, where despite widespread acknowledgement of the concept as a legal and political fiction, its status as a signifier of autonomy is maintained. This creates an imperative to move beyond the notion of consent as merely an illusion, to an understanding of it as something more operative. Not only does the story of autonomy that is told about consent obscure the social realities of inequality, difference, and subordination that might threaten a notion of a homogenous citizenry (and thus, governmental action made in its name), but it also conceals the historically specific conditions of existence which have brought consent’s ‘common sense’ story of autonomy into being. This thesis explores how this dominant narrative of consent, while producing certain ‘ideal’ subjectivities, also necessarily produces subjectivities which don’t fall within the ambit of consent. Moreover, this project asks what is achieved when the meaning of consent is positioned as a matter of ‘common sense’? What does its apparent transparency keep obscure?
In contrast to conventional approaches to consent, this project positions consent as an historical artefact rather than a concept with doctrinal, cognitive, or communicative certainty and seeks to investigate its operations across legal fields rather than strictly within them. This includes an examination of consent to sex, the doctrine of informed consent in medical jurisprudence, and the defence of consent to assault in professional sporting contexts. Further, the project engages in a ‘juridical genealogy’ of consent, studying its use in three vastly different historical periods in search of how it might perform different socio-political functions than understandings of its role within contemporary medical and criminal law suggest it should. How these counter-narratives of consent serve to challenge the dominant autonomy story are investigated for what they reveal about the frames of cultural and legal intelligibility at work in consent law today.
