Is utilisation of computed tomography justified in clinical practice? Part IV: applications of paediatric computed tomography.

Computed tomography (CT) has been recognised as the most widely used imaging technique in both adults and children, owing to technological developments, especially with the recent innovations in multislice CT. This has resulted in an increase in the use of CT examinations in children younger than 15 years of age in developed countries. The increasing use of paediatric CT in clinical practice has raised concerns regarding the potential risk of radiation-induced malignancy. This is because CT examinations deliver a much higher radiation dose than conventional radiographic techniques. Children are more sensitive to radiation exposure than adults and have a longer time ahead of them to manifest radiation-induced effects and injuries. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to reduce or minimise the radiation dose to children when choosing CT as the major imaging modality for diagnostic purposes. This article reviews the clinical applications of paediatric CT with regard to the adjustment of imaging protocols in routine clinical practice and in the emergency department, the justification of CT use in paediatric imaging, clinical awareness of CT-associated radiation risk and strategies to minimise radiation exposure to children.
Mesoscopic computational imaging of the predictive listening human brain

How do we understand the complex, noisy, and often incomplete sounds that reach our ears? Sounds are not perceived in isolation. The context in which we encounter them allows predicting what we may hear next. How is contextual sound processing implemented in the brain? From the sensory periphery to the cortex, complex information is extracted from the acoustic content of sounds. This feedforward processing is complemented by extensive feedback (FB) processing. Current research suggests that FB confers flexibility to auditory perception, by generating predictions of the input and supplementing noisy or missing information with contextual information. So far, limitations in coverage and spatial resolution of non-invasive imaging methods have prohibited grounding contextual sound processing onto the fundamental computational units of the human brain, resulting in an incomplete understanding of its biological underpinnings. Here, I propose to use ultra-high-field (UHF) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study how expectations shape human hearing. The high spatial resolution and coverage of UHF-fMRI will allow examining fundamental brain units: small subcortical structures and layers of cortex. I will investigate how responses change when acoustic information needs to be prioritized in an uncertain or noisy soundscape. Complementing UHF-fMRI measurements with magnetoencephalography (MEG), I will derive a neurobiological model of contextual sound processing at high spatial and temporal resolution. By comparing this model to state-of-the-art artificial intelligence, I will generalize it to naturalistic settings. This project links algorithmic and at a mesoscopic implementation levels to reveal the neurobiological mechanisms supporting hearing in context. The resulting model will allow testing hypotheses of aberrant contextual processing in phantom hearing (tinnitus and auditory hallucinations).
Supporting local authorities in the implementation of Sustainable Energy Action Plans in the Alpine Space Area

The main objective of the project is to promote energy planning at local level by sharing a common methodology among participating Partners (PP). This is essential to tackle Climate Change (CC), as energy use is mainly responsible for it. Local Authorities (LA) have a key role in this mitigation process, but as generally acquired, mitigation is not sufficient since CC is already taking place. The two options approach (mitigation and adaptation) in the energy planning process, are thus, essential. Following this principle an ad hoc methodology for drafting Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAP) in Alpine Space Area (ASA) will be created, promoted and implemented. PPs will improve their own skills thanks to a capacity building process improving their effectiveness in supporting LA. Furthermore one Action Plan for Public Investments methodology based on the requirement of art 4 of COM-2011/0370 will be available for ASA and several of these Action Plans will be drafted as pilot actions.
Photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide with water vapors over montmorillonite modified TiO2 nanocomposites

Montmorillonite (MMT) modified TiO2 nanocomposites were synthesized by single step sol–gel method. The samples were characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, HR-TEM, FT-IR, N2-adsorption–desorption, UV–vis and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Modification of TiO2 with MMT controlled the crystal growth and produced anatase phase of delaminated TiO2 pillared montmorillonite. The size of TiO2 nanoparticles reduced from 18.73 to 13.87 nm after adding MMT, while the surface area and pore volume increased. The UV–vis results identified blue shift in TiO2 band gap for the MMT modified samples. In addition, PL spectroscopy revealed significant inhibition in recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. The performance of MMT modified TiO2 samples for reducing CO2 with H2O to hydrocarbon fuels was investigated. The effects of parameters such as MMT loading on TiO2, H2O/CO2 feed ratios, and reaction temperature on TiO2 photocatalytic activity was studied. Loading MMT on TiO2 enhanced the performance of TiO2 and markedly increased CO2 reduction to C1–C3 hydrocarbon fuels. The highest yield rates produced were 441.5 and 103 μmol g cat−1 h−1 for CH4 and CO, respectively under UV light irradiations at 20 wt.% MMT loading, reactor pressure of 0.20 bars and 393 K reaction temperature. These results revealed silicate layers of MMT dispersed in the given TiO2 sol system and vacant d-orbits of the MMT transition metal ions have obvious effect on the photocatalytic activity of TiO2. The possible pathways and reaction mechanisms of CH4 and CO productions were also suggested. Thus, MMT is a potentially attractive material to improve TiO2 as a photocatalyst for application in photocatalytic CO2 reduction.
Apparatus for the production of ampoules

In the apparatus for the production of ampoules (10), the ampoules (10) are guided continuously into the pressure chamber (1) which has a chamber for sealingly closing the ampoules. A sealing chamber (2 and 3) is arranged in each case on the ampoule inlet side (1A) and on the ampoule outlet side (1B) of the pressure chasmber (1). The sealing chambers (2, 3) perform their sealing function by means of partition walls (21A), of the slides (20) for carrying, conveying and discharging the ampoules (10) and of the inner wall of a casing (2C) of the sealing chamber (2). The sealing closure of the ampoules (10) can take place while the internal pressure of the pressure chamber (1) is maintained at a predetermined value. Consequently, no glass fragments can penetrate into the ampoules (10) when the ampoules (10) are being opened. <IMAGE>
“VENERE PRIVATA” DA SCERBANENCO A BACILIERI: LINGUA, STILE E RETORICA DALLA LETTERATURA AL FUMETTO

Il romanzo Venere privata di Giorgio Scerbanenco (1966) è tra i capostipiti del giallo italiano contemporaneo e introduce il personaggio Duca Lamberti, medico radiato dall’ordine per aver praticato l’eutanasia su una paziente e diventato, una volta scontata la pena, consulente della polizia milanese. La narrazione, la lingua e lo stile dell’autore, già studiati da diversi interventi specialistici, sono ora oggetto dell’adattamento a fumetti di Paolo Bacilieri, apparso a puntate sulla rivista Linus a partire dall’agosto 2021. La pubblicazione dovrebbe concludersi in rivista entro l’anno, ed è prevista per l’autunno 2022 l’edizione integrale in volume per Oblomov. Il presente studio affronta le prime sei puntate dell’adattamento, ne studia la lingua e lo stile in relazione al testo originale, la raffigurazione di ambienti, personaggi e situazioni in relazione agli elementi diegetici del romanzo e a modelli esterni usati da Bacilieri, infine la configurazione degli elementi iconici e verbali nelle tavole in prospettiva retorica. Ciò consente di comprendere non solo il processo e il concetto di adattamento attuati dall’autore, ma anche la lettura e l’interpretazione che questi ha fatto del racconto, della lingua e dello stile del testo originario.&#x0D; &#x0D; Venere privata from Scerbanenco and Bacilieri: language, style and rhetoric from literature to comics&#x0D; Giorgio Scerbanenco’s novel Venere privata (1966) is among the progenitors of the contemporary Italian detective story and introduces the character Duca Lamberti, a doctor disbarred for practicing euthanasia on a patient and becoming, once he has served his sentence, a consultant to the Milanese police. The author’s narrative, language and style, which have already been studied by several specialist papers, are now the subject of Paolo Bacilieri's comic book adaptation, appearing serialized in Linus magazine starting in August 2021. The publication is expected to be completed in the magazine within the year, and a full volume edition for Oblomov is planned for Fall 2022. The present study deals with the first six installments of the adaptation, studying the language and style in relation to the original text, the depiction of the environments, characters and situations in relation to the diegetic elements of the novel and external models used by Bacilieri, and finally the configuration of the iconic and verbal elements in the tables in rhetorical perspective. This allows us to understand not only the process and concept of adaptation implemented by the author, but also his reading and interpretation of the story, language and style of the original text.
Dichotomous estradiol and genistein effects on cutaneous endothelium‐dependent vasodilation in women with and without insulin resistance (678.6)

17β-estradiol (E2) cardioprotection in women includes endothelial dependent dilation (EDD), but this E2 effect is not consistent in insulin resistant women (IR). Genistein (GEN, a phytoestrogen structurally similar to E2) effects on EDD are unclear. We hypothesized E2 and GEN improve cutaneous EDD in healthy women [C, n=8, 23 (6) yr, BMI 25.0 (8.0), AUC insulin 6111 (1368) µUI/ml] but not IR [n=6, 20 (2) yr, BMI 27.3 (8.4), AUC insulin 140006 (4020) µUI/ml]. We measured cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC) with laser Doppler flowmetry during local 42°C heating with E2 or GEN skin microdialysis infusions, each with and without the eNOS inhibitor L-NMMA; nitroprusside was then infused with 44°C heating to induce CVCmax. In C, E2 enhanced EDD [93.4 (5.8) %max, 85.0 (12.2) %max for E2, saline P<0.05], with no GEN effect [84.5 (22.2) %max], and L-NMMA reduced EDD [81.9 (21.6) %max, GEN 73.2 % (29.1) %max P<0.05). In IR, E2 and GEN did not affect EDD [93.5 (5.5), 93.6 (5.2), 97.4 (13.0), saline, E2, GEN]; L-NMMA reduced EDD with GEN [67.1 (18.7) %max P<0.05] but not E2 [90.5 (5.5)]. E2 and GEN did not enhance EDD in women with IR in contrast to healthy women. However, NO contributes to EDD in both groups. Grant Funding Source: Supported by National Institutes of Health HL109882
Regional Policy Improvement for Financially Sustainable Creative Incubator Units

Incubator units for creative industries business start ups provide much needed space and act as vital support mechanisms and catalysts for the development of entrepreneurship and innovation in this sector right across the EU. 

The creative industries (e.g. Advertising, Textiles, Fashion, Television & Radio, Photo Imaging, Graphic Design and Interactive Media, Publishing, Animation, Computer Games, Film and Commercials Production and Post Production) provide significant employment opportunities, and are now recognised as one of “Europe’s most dynamic sectors” (EU green paper: Unlocking the potential of cultural and creative industries”), with strong potential to contribute to growth and job creation. 

However, most survive only with some Regional Authority funding or subsidy and, with the current public funding cutbacks, many are now facing serious threats to their financial survival and ability to realise their full potential as a force for change and economic development.
While much research in previously funded projects has focussed on the role and value of specific activities undertaken within creative incubator units, InCompass will focus exclusively on how they can become independently financially sustainable. Using a number of existing incubator units across the EU as the main study vehicle, the project will identify a number of existing good practices that are already providing levels of financial security and transfer them for collective adoption into, and improvement of, regional policy. The adoption into policy of the COMBINATIONS of these good practices will potentially offer "total financial sustainability solutions".                                      

The consortium has 15 partners: 7 regional/local authorities, 3 universities and research institutes, 2 business parks with incubator units, 3 economic and regional growth agencies. All are directly involved in policy development. 9 member states are involved across 4 geographic areas.
All partners appreciate the full value of the project and all expect to both contribute to, and benefit from, the process of the exchange of experience and the opportunity for policy improvement across all regions.
The project involves a programme of: study visits and reports on good practice; thematic seminars to share the findings within the consortium; Regional Implementation Groups of stakeholders to assess the transferability of good practice and make regional policy recommendations. 
The project will deliver the following outputs and results: minimum 12 case study visits; 10 thematic seminars; 12 Regional Implementation Plans with recommendations for policy improvements. Interpretation and translation will be provided as necessary to ensure that language is no barrier. 
Dissemination of the results will be done via the project website, social media, e-newsletters, brochures and conferences - one of which will be the final conference at the Committee of the Regions in Brussels.
Comment mettre en place des règles hydrologiques efficaces pour la gestion durable des eaux pluviales urbaines

Actuellement, en France, de nombreuses collectivités mettent en place un cadre réglementaire et incitatif visant en particulier à favoriser le développement des solutions dites alternatives de gestion des eaux pluviales urbaines. En s’appuyant sur une approche analytique fondée sur la méthode des pluies, ce document s’intéresse aux conséquences négatives que certaines règles hydrologiques peuvent parfois introduire. Ces conséquences négatives sont dues à la diversité des situations hydrologiques que les dispositifs doivent affronter, à la variété des objectifs poursuivis, à la variété en nature et en taille des opérations d’aménagement et, enfin, au grand nombre de solutions techniques possibles. Il montre que si les règles choisies sont trop rigides ou mal conçues elles peuvent avoir des effets pervers, voire même se révéler contre-productives. Au-delà de ce simple diagnostic, il propose des pistes pour améliorer leur rédaction. Il préconise en particulier la mise en oeuvre d’un ensemble de règles complémentaires, construites de façon à privilégier les objectifs locaux perçus comme essentiels, et adaptées aux différents niveaux de sollicitation pluviométrique. Enfin, il fournit quelques éléments pratiques pour les rédiger de façon appropriée.

Measuring the impacts of the transition to the circular economy

The EU 2020 targets of the European Union and international commitments of the EU make it mandatory for the EU to reduce its environmental impact while at the same time to make its economy more productive and more competitive. One important pathway to achieve both objectives is making the European economy more circular, meaning that the use of non renewable material resources is reduced, while at the same time the European economy is further developed and more jobs are created. 

CIRCULAR IMPACTS aims to provide European policy makers with the knowledge to guide and foster the transition to a more circular economy by developing an overarching impact assessment of that transition and at the same time make the evidence base available for policy makers to develop impact assessment for their own specific policy proposals. As the circular economy is an ambition with a very wide and not precisely defined application area, CIRCULAR IMPACTS will start by defining the circular economy, identifying the most important application areas, understanding the policy needs of the area and developing a methodology for assessing the macroeconomic and societal impacts. It will then focus on assembling the available evidence for impact assessments and make this evidence base available for policy makers and the project itself with a web based search tool. This search tool will also help to make several relevant information collections funded by past EU research framework programs visible again, by connecting their evidence base to the circular economy agenda. The project will then collect missing information in case studies in order to understand the processes of the circular economy and the processes it might replace in more detail. To achieve that CIRCULAR IMPACTS has already assembled a Steering group of industry experts which will be able to provide the connections and the industry knowledge to the impact assessment.
Utilidad, aplicabilidad y movilización del conocimiento: un estudio de caso del curso de licenciatura en educación del campo de la universidad Federal do Rio Reconcavo de Bahía, Brasil

Brasil es un país que posee dimensiones continentales, con múltiples particularidades, con un amplio espacio agrario y un desigual desarrollo del mismo. La Educación del Campo y la Universidad están inmersas en esta realidad sociocultural y por lo tanto considerarla de manera contextualizada es premisa fundamental para cualquier análisis de esta naturaleza. En esta perspectiva, estudiar los procesos pedagógicos, sus múltiples y complejas relaciones, su repercusión e interacción con la sociedad es de gran relevancia para comprender la dinámica actual de la Universidad. En este trabajo serán presentados los resultados de un estudio de caso en la UFRB (Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia), que está ubicada en Bahia - Brasil, más específicamente en el curso de Educación del Campo, donde fue analizada su propuesta contra hegemónica y su compromiso con la categoría de movilización del conocimiento. Basado en una investigación bibliográfica y en análisis documentales de la institución en cuestión, este trabajo busca contribuir a una reflexión respeto a la Educación del Campo para una mejor comprensión de su función social, resolución de problemas concretos y su orientación al servicio de la sociedad.
Exploring lifestyle transitions: a molecular and physical anthropology approach of ancient yakut people

Adaptation, whereby organisms become fitted to their environment, is a key evolutionary process driving biodiversity. Our understanding of how natural selection impacts genetic diversity has greatly advanced with recent developments in high-throughput DNA sequencing and genome-wide selection scans. However, microbiomes and epigenomes are other systems selection can act upon as they influence our health and phenotype, and thus our fitness. Although microbiomes, epigenomes and genomes can now be reconstructed, no study has evaluated their relative importance in populations exposed to new selective pressures. This is what ELITE aims at achieving by reconstructing the history of the biological changes undergone by the Yakut people of Far Eastern Siberia after their contact with Russians in the 17th century, and the resulting profound lifestyle transition, diet shifts and massive epidemiological outbreaks. By applying a multidisciplinary approach combining the latest advances in physical anthropology, ancient genomics, metagenomics and epigenomics to a unique collection of cultural and biological material from ancient Yakuts, ELITE proposes an innovative experimental approach in evolutionary biology, which could eventually reveal a possible maladaptation to our modern lifestyle, making us more susceptible to diseases. The success of ELITE will be based on the excellent synergy between the experienced researcher and the host institution, as the applicant will benefit from state-of-the-art facilities and expertise to gain advanced training in physical anthropology methods, while applying her genomic skills to a sample set available at no other research institution in the world. By acquiring these new skills in an international context, the experienced researcher will become a fully trained evolutionary anthropo-genomicist at the interface of physical and molecular anthropology, which will place her in ideal conditions to develop as a mature and independent researcher.
