Applying Social Psychology to the Challenge of Embedding Ethics into the Business School Curriculum

Many believe we are suffering from an ethics crisis (Perry & Nixon, 2005). The increased incidence of irresponsible behaviour by business, recent examples being the global financial crisis and the BP oil spill, and the devastating consequences on society have focused attention on the role business schools play in educating future business (and other) leaders. There have also been criticisms of business schools failing to take into account the ‘factually impossible notion of unlimited growth in a world of limited resources’ (Giacalone & Thompson, 2006), and continuing to encourage business strategies which are at odds with the growing challenge of sustainable development, which include issues of climate change, inequity and resource depletion (Giacalone & Thompson, 2006; Shrivastava, 1995; Waddock, 2007). Indeed, business schools have been criticised for encouraging a self-interested, profit-oriented focus that ignores the wider responsibilities of business to society (Gioia, 1992; Kochan, 2002; Mitroff, 2004). Starkey, Hatchuel, and Tempest (2004), for example, claim that the business school has become “ethically compromised because the values it espouses have been implicated in recent corporate scandals.” McPhail (2001) suggests the inclusion of business ethics into accounting and business education as a possible remedy. Cant and Kulik went further and claimed that “business schools would be remiss, if not unethical themselves, if their ethics education efforts were not increased in light of recent events.” (2009).

The HoloZcan project applies a flexible adaptive approach to design and CBRN practitioners are engaged as project partners or as external stakeholders in the process.
The first accurate, portable and easy-to-manage pulse oximeter located on the user´s mobile for the prevention and monitoring of copd disease

Chronic Obstructive pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the fourth leading cause of death globally. This disease is characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation. To date, more than 210 millions people suffer COPD with crisis respiratory episodes (exacerbation), 1 to 3 times per year. The easiest way to prevent COPD exacerbations is measuring the oxygen level in blood. Therefore, COPD patients and their families or caregivers need devices for continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation. I4case solves these problems being an innovative smart solution integrated by a small and easy-to-manage pulse oximeter, as well as a smart data processing platform. I4case is located on the user´s mobile, goes with the patients everywhere, and is connected to the physicians who will have a 24h follow-up of their patients. I4case will reduce the 70% of the COPD respiratory crisis, achieving COPD direct and indirect costs savings of 40% (€58.4B just in Europe). 
Currently, i4life is following a B2C approach and is targeting the global pulse oximeter market, which is experienced a huge growing, reaching €2B by 2021 (CAGR 6.5%). i4life customers will be COPD patients, their families, and caregivers, focusing at the first stage in old people. More than €18M sales projection has been estimated for the third year of commercialization. I4life will expand after the achievement of CE Medical Device approval. Furthermore, with clinical partners such as SEPAR “Spanish society of pulmonology and thoracic surgery” or the University of Oviedo, i4life is equipped to start full-scale clinical studies.
Cavell’s “Moral Perfectionism” or Emerson’s “Moral Sentiment”?

What is properly Emersonian about moral perfectionism? Perhaps the best answer is: not much. Stanley Cavell’s signature concept, which claims close kinship to Emerson’s ethical philosophy, seems upon careful examination to be rather far removed from it. Once we get past the broad, unproblematic appeals to Emerson’s “unattained but attainable self,” and consider the specific content and implications of perfectionism, the differences between the two thinkers become too substantive – and too fraught with serious misunderstandings – to be ignored. It is above all Cavell’s complete disregard for the Emersonian “moral sentiment” that jeopardizes his claim to be a continuator of Emerson’s legacy in ethical philosophy. I would not deny that Cavell’s own work stands as an extrordinary contribution to contemporary ethics. Nor would I dispute his title as the living philosopher who has done more than any other to restore Emerson to his rightful place in the history of American philosophy, as a thinker worthy of the highest consideration. Still less would I discount the boldness and originality of Cavell’s readings of Emerson. What I am contesting, rather, is the propriety of attaching the label “Emersonian” to the notion of perfectionism, especially in view of its strong anti-metaphysical bias. The Emerson canon provides ample grounds for rejecting Cavell’s claim as largely unsubstantiated and in a number of crucial ways inconsistent with the moral sentiment’s firm grounding of ethics in ontology.

Species distribution and depth habitat of recent planktic foraminifera in Fram Strait, Arctic Ocean

To describe the horizontal and vertical distribution of recent planktic foraminifera in Fram Strait (Arctic), plankton samples were collected in the early summer of 2011 using a MultiNet sampler (>63 µm) at 10 stations along a west–east transect at 78°50′N. Five depth intervals were sampled from the sea surface down to 500 m. Additionally, sediment surface samples from the same locations were analysed. The ratio between absolute abundances of planktic foraminifera in the open ocean, at the ice margin and in the ice-covered ocean was found to be approximately 2:4:1. The assemblage was dominated by the polar Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (sin.) and the subpolar Turborotalita quinqueloba , which accounted for 76 and 15% of all tests in the warm, saline Atlantic waters and 90 and 5% in the cold and fresh Polar waters, respectively. Both species had maximum absolute abundances between 0 and 100 m water depth, however, they apparently lived shallower under the ice cover than under ice-free conditions. This indicates that the depth habitat of planktic foraminifera in the study area is predominantly controlled by food availability and not by temperature. The distribution pattern obtained by plankton tows was clearly reflected on the sediment surface and we conclude that the assemblage on the sediment surface can be used as an indicator for modern planktic foraminiferal fauna.

Polymer brushes - a sustainable bonding technology for dissimilar materials

Technological developments are moving ever faster in our modern society, and so are the pressure put on industries to produce safe and sustainable products within a circular economy perspective. Hybrid assemblies, joints of dissimilar materials, are key in modern product design and found everywhere - in your smartphone, car, TV, dishwasher, in planes and so on. However, in modern products we increasingly rely on engineering plastics and fiber-reinforced plastic composites, which is intrinsically hard to bond to other types of material - and using industrial glue you cannot easily recycle the plastic part. This has become a major challenge that hampers development of better, more durable, longer living, and sustainable products in key manufacturing industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical device, electronics, renewables, offshore, consumer goods, etc. A prime example is the slow adoption of the most potent lightweight materials, high-performance plastics and plastic composites (70% weight reduction potential), in the transportation industry due to lack of acceptable joining methods – severely limiting the CO2 reduction potential of new cars and planes. 

RadiSurf has developed the groundbreaking RadiBond technology, based on nanometer-thin coatings of polymer brushes, that provide sustainable, ultra-strong and ultra-tight hybrid joints that can easily be reversed at product end-of-life for disassembly and recycling of the bonded parts. RadiBond is a key enabling technology bringing outstanding bonding performance and easy integration into existing manufacturing assembly lines. As the pioneer in the industrial utilization of polymer brushes, Radisurf are now targeting full-scale market launch of RadiBond. However, to succeed in the transition from a small R&D provider to a manufacturing company, support from the EIC Accelerator Pilot program is crucial for demonstrating industrial implementation and scaling of the chemical production capacity.
Novel phases of matter emerging from topology, interactions, and symmetries

The interplay of symmetry and topology can give rise to fascinating new forms of matter. Prime examples are topological insulators and topological superconductors with Majorana fermions, discoveries which resulted from a breakthrough extension of noninteracting band theory to include symmetry and topology. This proposal aims to go beyond this noninteracting paradigm and explore systems where strong interactions, symmetry, and topology conspire to give rise to new strongly correlated phases of matter. The broad scientific goals are to theoretically obtain (i) tangible microscopic models and (ii) predictions on the clearest experimental signatures of these novel symmetry protected topological phases (SPTs). The project will consider both fermionic and bosonic systems, where in the latter case even the most direct analogues of topological insulators require strong interactions, as mere band theory is inapplicable due to the absence of Pauli exclusion. We will examine systems with various interactions and symmetries (e.g., time-reversal, particle number conservation, spin-rotation, inversion and other crystalline symmetries), aiming to deliver results with ramifications in all three dimensionalities. Characteristic aspects of our approach include, for microscopics, the emphasis on well controlled analytical methods to expose physically transparent links to phenomenology; and, for experimental signatures, exploring and utilising novel strong correlations emerging in hybrids formed of SPTs and their probes, which would be absent in either of the probed systems or the probes alone. Accomplishing our research objectives will fill a major scientific gap by bridging the findings of recent abstract mathematical classifications of possible SPTs, and the tremendous experimental progress both in the solid-state and with ultracold atoms on topological systems that may already provide the fundamental building blocks for physical realisations.
A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR WASTE DISPOSAL

The invention relates to an afterburner apparatus and an incineration system and methods of waste destruction in primary incineration combustion means (70) and afterburner means (101-110) which both preferably utilize at least two different oxidizing gases (80-83). By varying the ratio of said oxidizing gases (80-83), the amount of total oxygen and nitrogen delivered in either means can be dynamically adjusted in accordance with the process requirements. Varying the flows of at least two oxidizing gases and auxiliary fuel (84, 85) in both the primary incineration combustion means (70) and afterburner (101-110) makes it possible to operate the system under fluctuating waste loading conditions, by controlling temperature, partial pressure of oxygen and heat available for the process as a function of said ratio.
Targeted Methylation Sequencing of Population Cohorts

DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mechanism for regulating the activity of the genome. Inter-individual differences in the epigenome, including the DNA methylome, are thought to account for the missing variance in disease susceptibility that has not been identified in Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS). Large-scale profiling of DNA methylation in population cohorts at the sample size of thousands to tens of thousands is necessary to characterize the epigenetic component of diseases susceptibility. Although whole genome bisulfite sequencing has been demonstrated in mammalian-size genomes, it is still too costly for a large sample size. In addition, only a very small fraction of CpG sites in the human genome is variable and carries information related to the epigenetic state of the cells, whereas the majority of CpG sites are static. For large-scale methylation sequencing projects, ideally the sequencing cost should be spent only on the informative sites in the genome.

We have previously developed a targeted bisulfite sequencing method based on bisulfite padlock probes (BSPP), which can quantify the absolute CpG methylation levels on an arbitrary set of genomic regions. In this talk I will present a second-generation BSPP method, which has a highly optimized protocol for production-scale methylation sequencing at a batch size of 96 samples. We also designed and optimized a set of ∼300,000 padlock probes targeting a set of carefully selected genomic regions (DMRs, enhancers, insulators, promoters, DNase I hypersensitive sites) throughout the entire human genome. A computational pipeline for probe design and efficient processing of methylation sequencing data was also developed. This method allows us to obtain highly accurate measurements of CpG and non-CpG methylation on >500,000 highly informative sites at the cost of <$250 per sample. Preliminary results on clinical samples processed with our second-generation BSPP method will be discussed.
Transformation of existing urban district heating and cooling systems from fossil to renewable energy sources

RES-DHC stands for a wider introduction of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in the District Heating and Cooling (DHC) sector. The RES-DHC project addresses the manifold market uptake challenges related to the transformation of DHC systems to higher shares of RES. In particular it aims at the development of solutions and instruments which support policy and sector stakeholders in (over-)fulfilling Art. 24 of the Renewable Energy Directive II (directive 2018/2001), requiring a yearly increase of RES in DHC by 1%. The main objective of the RES-DHC project is to support the transformation of existing urban DHC systems to RES in six participating regions and thereby to derive - from these practical cases - technical and organizational solutions for such transformation processes. This is reached with two key approaches: A vertical pillar of the project is a close-to-market implementation process of concrete actions and measures by regional stakeholder consortia in the six regions (in DE, AT, IT, PL, FR and CH). The phases of this implementation process are 1) strategy and action planning based on local stakeholder consultation 2) an implementation phase starting already at an early stage of the project including capacity building, legal framework improvements, market support, and triggering investments in RES DHC. Technical enablers are, beside RES, also sector coupling and the use of low grade heat sources. A key horizontal beam of the project is to organize and give transnational support to the regional stakeholder consortia. This support is provided by an international team of expert partners with specific and complementary competences and coordinated by Danish experts. The specific actions of the RES-DHC project meet the market uptake challenges of this call to a great extent, e.g.: Introduction of RES at large scale, stakeholder engagement, assessment of legal and political frameworks and of the environmental, economic and social impact of RES DHC solutions.

Cellulose as a renewable resource for the synthesis of wood consolidants

Crosslinkable cellulose ethers as allyl cellulose, allyl carboxymethyl cellulose, and allyl n-hydroxypropyl cellulose were synthesized and characterized, and their use as consolidating agents for waterlogged wood was studied. For this kind of application, structural properties similar to those of wood's polysaccharide components are desired in the design stage of new consolidants. The choice to synthesize cellulose ethers was determined from the possibility of using cellulose as the starting material because of its large availability in nature, biocompatibility, and low cost. In addition, cellulose ethers are quite easy to obtain, and they can have different properties, depending on the nature and the amount of the functional groups introduced. For this purpose, a cellulose with a lower degree of polymerization was also used for the synthesis of related cellulose ethers. By means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, the affinity of the cellulose derivatives for degraded lignin flours was detected. The preliminary results of this study show that these polysaccharide compounds may be proposed as wood consolidating agents. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010
