Entretien prénatal précoce et séances de préparation à la naissance et à la parentalité : caractéristiques psychosociales et obstétricales associées chez les femmes de la cohorte ELFE

Early prenatal interview (Entretien prénatal précoce [EPP]) is aimed at defining with couples their physical, psychological and social needs during perinatal period. Antenatal education for childbirth and parenthood (Préparation à la naissance et à la parentalité [PNP]) is aimed at promoting global perinatal health. The objective was to identify the psychological, demographic and obstetrical characteristics independently associated with participation in: (i) an EPP; (ii) a PNP.Multivariate analyses were applied to data collected during the maternity stay of mothers whose children were included in the French cohort French Longitudinal Study since the Childhood (ELFE), a nationally representative cohort of children followed-up from birth to adulthood.Among the 14,595 mothers of the sample, 33% had an EPP and 52% a PNP. Primiparous mothers, born in France, with high educational level, employed or unemployed, with psychological difficulties more often benefit from EPP and/or PNP. Women who were young, benefiting from free health insurance (Couverture Maladie Universelle [CMU]), with unplanned pregnancy, with less antenatal care and obstetrical complications less often benefit from PNP.The EPP and the PNP reach high sociodemographic level populations. They should be integrated into a wider system of prevention and care, in order to reach the most vulnerable populations and to contribute to the improvement of the psychological and social environment of all the women during the perinatal period.
The unique high-performance biodegradable leather tanned with natural elements

Santori Pellami was founded in 1890 and thanks to the experience gained from generation to generation, we are specialized in the production and sale of different leather products from veal, beef, pork, sheep among other. In the fashion and luxury sector in which we operate, the themes of sustainability, circular economy, respect for the environment have today assumed a centrality. Thus since 2015, we have been in search for more sustainable materials, and today we are the first companies to have experimented a method of tanning with the lowest level of heavy metals, and free from hexavalent Chromium. 
In April 2017, we have developed an innovative process to obtain a high-quality leather hides tanned using biodegradable, organic ingredients, with low use of heavy metals (Cadmium, Cobalt, Nickel and Lead) and without Chromium. Today, Naturella hides have been certified 77% biodegradable and compostable in controlled conditions according to ISO 14855 by University of Bologna. We have titled and registered the Naturella trade mark, and we can already offer this new leather to early clients. 
The aim of this project is to study the technical and economic feasibility of an innovative “short-chain” business model for Naturella leather in the main European markets, in particular in Italy, Portugal, Spain, Bulgaria, Germany and Serbia. A Life Cycle Assessment regarding the environmental impacts of our product will be done, and our overall objective is to plan the increase of our market share and the source of revenues through the development of the Naturella product. Our purpose is to increase in 3 years our revenues by 30%, guaranteeing a revenue share of at least 20% of our total turnover coming from Naturella. From the results of our phase 1 project we expect to be able to plan the activities to grasp the target sales and profit targets.
Art Lab Expériences

This project addresses the need for support in market accessing, technological innovation and generational turnover that many arts and crafts companies have expressed during the ongoing ART LAB NET project financed with the 1st announcement. It aims to stimulate young people’s interest in high value-added arts and crafts with the use of new digital technologies. The project’s general objective is to define a cross-border training/collaborative model and collect success cases to support sectoral areas in distress but highly representative of the cooperation area closely related to tourism. This approach will demonstrate the possibility of cross-border collaboration and suggest jobs of increasing interest to young people The project will involve a limited number of young people (5 in France and 5 in Italy) in a pilot experience of joint training and collaboration whose profiles will meet the specific needs of arts and crafts companies in the cooperation area. The training will take place at the premises of the project partners and the Resource Centres of the ART LAB NET project. Interns will thus be able to develop new skills, working first in a local company and then in a similar company in the other country of the cooperation area. The experience will include training, learning, analysing the needs of the companies, co-planning, experimentation and application. The partners are the same as ART LAB NET except for Team, which has excellent training and management experience.
Standard multimedia conferencing in the wild: the Meetecho architecture

We present a conferencing architecture called Meetecho. To the purpose, we embrace an engineering approach, by describing an actual implementation of an open source centralized video-conferencing system capable to offer advanced communication experience to end-users through the effective exploitation of mechanisms like session management and floor control. Meetecho has been designed to be fully compliant with the latest standard proposals coming from both the IETF and the 3GPP and can be considered as an outstanding example of a real-time application built on top of the grounds paved by the SIP protocol. We will discuss both the design of the overall conferencing framework and the most important issues we had to face during the implementation phase.
Seismic testing of 3d printed miniature masonry in a geotechnical centrifuge

Earthquakes are responsible for more than half of the human losses due to natural disasters. Masonry structures have been proven the most vulnerable both in the developing and in the developed world. Even though Masonry is one of the oldest building materials, our understanding of its behavior at the level of the structure (system level) is limited. Therefore, there is a need for extended shake table testing. But shake table tests are expensive and full-scale system-level testing of large buildings is only possible in a handful of shake tables in the globe – and at a huge cost.

We propose to take advantage of research developments in 3D printing and develop a method to perform system-level testing at a small scale using 3D printers and a geotechnical centrifuge (to preserve similitude). The key is to print materials with behavior controllable and similar to masonry. MiniMasonry testing proposes to control the properties of masonry via controlling the geometry of a 3D printed “meta”-mortar. The method will be developed via typical static masonry tests performed on the 3D printed parts. It will be further validated via comparing shaking table tests (in a centrifuge) of miniature structures to existing results of full-scale tests. The cost of the dynamic tests is expected to be so low, that multiple tests can be performed, so that existing numerical methods can be validated in the statistical sense. As a case study, the method will be applied to explore the behavior of a low-cost seismic isolation method that has been proposed for masonry structures in developing countries.

With the rapid evolution of 3D printing, it will be possible to scale-up the methods developed in MiniMasonryTesting, so that other Civil Engineering materials can be tested faster and cheaper than now. This is a game changer in structural testing, as it will enable researchers to test structures that up to now it was impossible or very expensive to test at a system level.

The bracket assembly includes a first bracket having a channel for receiving the deck rail so as to mounted thereto, without the used of hardware or tools. An insert may be provided in a collar on the first bracket so as to reduce the diameter of the collar, and thereby accommodate poles having different diameters. A lower bracket may be provided with a collar and insert to receive the lower end of a deck accessory pole. The lower bracket is mounted to a block which contacts one or more of the vertical deck posts, without being secured thereto, for aligning the second bracket beneath the first bracket. An accessory item may be secured using the assembly. Examples of accessory items include, without limitation, a flag pole holder, a shepherd's hook, a beverage holder, a solar light, a sundial, a decorative item, a tikki torch, and an umbrella.
Analysis of the Russian, Eastern European, and Eurasian Studies Collection at Miami University Libraries

A collection analysis project was carried out on the Russian, Eastern European, and Eurasian studies collection at Miami University Libraries. The collection serves a diverse population of scholars and students. These constituents vary in discipline and in reading level of Russian and other Slavic languages. The goal for collecting for this area is to reflect this diversity of disciplines and languages, as well as to follow the collection development policy. The project thus had two objectives: to determine how well the collection supports users’ needs and how well it reflects the collection development policy. A very simple process for data gathering was used to determine the number of items in each subject, the items’ language, and the number of checkouts and in-house uses. The results showed some discrepancies between the policy and the predominant language of the collection, as well as a lack of use among materials in languages other than English.
HEAD FOR AN ORAL CARE IMPLEMENT.

A head for an oral care implement comprises at least a first row of tufts comprising a plurality of filaments having free ends and fixed ends being opposite the free ends and being fixed on a mounting surface of the head. The filaments of the at least first row of tufts extend from the mounting surface of the head in different length extensions thereby defining with the filaments free ends an upper top cleaning surface in the form of a continuous wave-shape. Each filament has a longitudinal axis and a cross-sectional area extending in a plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Each tuft of the at least first row comprises either filaments with a smaller cross-sectional area or filaments with a larger cross-sectional area, and the tufts are arranged in an alternating manner so that a tuft comprising filaments with the smaller cross-sectional area alternate with a tuft comprising filaments with the larger cross-sectional area.
Energy harvesting by invisible solar integration in building skins

Envision a full envelope concept that harvests solar energy from the 120 billion square meters of building surface available within the EU28. Envision using the currently unused 60 billion square meters of façade surface. That is why ‘ENVISION’ will demonstrate a full renovation concept that, for the first time, harvests energy from ALL building surfaces (transparent and opaque). The hybrid harvesting solutions will harvest energy both thermal and electric from the whole envelope, using standard PV solutions for roof and developing new solutions for the façade. As façade solutions have the lowest TRL, ‘ENVISION’ will develop energy harvesting invisible aesthetic façade solutions. The solutions will harvest maximum amount of solar energy and simultaneously retain the aesthetic and functional properties of the façade. To maximise efficient usage of the harvested energy, the solutions are coupled to novel heat systems and district heat networks.

ENVISION’ focusses on energy harvesting of the façade, and works by absorbing the invisible part  of the solar radiation (the near-infrared (NIR) part, roughly 50% of the solar energy spectrum) allowing visible aspects to be retained. The ‘ENVISION’ harvesting of solar energy is achieved via: 
1. heat collecting non-transparent aesthetically pleasing façade elements by harvesting the NIR solar radiation,
2. heat harvesting ventilated glass by harvesting the NIR solar radiation,
3. electricity harvesting photovoltaic glazing solutions
Cargo beacons – no unexpected delays or losses in shipments of valuable cargo

Hiotech is an innovative Swedish SME whose ambition is to solve a pressing logistics challenge – to make damages or losses to valuable cargo known to the stakeholders before the goods arrive, so that corrective measures could take place with least impact on manufacturing and supply chains.

Realizing that globally almost €90B worth of goods are mishandled or damaged every year, and that there are market segments with stringent requirements on transportation (such as industrial equipment parts or medical substances), Hiotech designed Cargo Beacon – a compact, ruggedized logger of temperature, humidity and shocks. Cargo Beacons are designed to be long-lasting, highly-reusable and low cost – with manufacturing costs at €10 they pose a serious competitive threat to existing loggers with less functionality and a price tag of €100-500.

Cargo Beacons communicate their measurements via a dedicated gateway that connects them to a cloud-based data services portal. These services provide additional analytics to the goods owners & recipients and logistics operators. These services include identification of damage cause, optimization of goods flows, reduction of bottlenecks and others. Cargo Beacons are currently on trial with Nefab Group – a packaging solutions OEM, with additional trials pending.

During the 6-month feasibility study, Hiotech will validate further the product/market fit of Cargo Beacons in industrial equipment and medical substances markets, and will seek endorsements of this technology from insurance companies that frequently need evidence that goods were transported in full compliance with signed contracts and no damage or wastage took place.

Becoming a mother

Little is known about how women with intellectual disabilities make decisions in relation to pregnancy. Social support is important for mothers with intellectual disabilities in many areas. This study explored how the support network influenced the decision-making of women with intellectual disabilities in relation to pregnancy. The study extended previous research to include the multiple perspectives of mothers, personal and professional support network. A model of decision-making was constructed, with implications of how services approach working with mothers with intellectual disabilities. Using a grounded theory methodology, three mothers with intellectual disabilities, two of their family members and six professionals were interviewed about their experiences of decision-making in relation to pregnancy. The results suggested that the quality of a woman’s relationships were key to facilitating decision-making. The results highlighted the need for services to focus on creating supportive working relationships with mothers and other services involved in the parenting assessment process.
Predicting speech: what and when does the brain predict during language comprehension?

The ability to recognise spoken words relies on extracting phonological features from the acoustic input that distinguish a word from its cohort competitors. Neuronal circuits were suggested to use context to predict and pre-activate specific speech features. Bottom-up feature recognition is enabled by phase and amplitude coupling between cortical oscillations and acoustic signals and this process is facilitated by top-down predictive processing. Predictions may be critical for the speed, accuracy and noise resistance that distinguish fluent speech recognition and were related to specific cortical oscillatory patterns (theta/delta synchronisation, beta increase). Despite evidence, the nature and the timing of these predictions remains unclear. This project will address these key questions using MEG and EEG that provide good spatiotemporal resolution. Increasing predictability of a word should have two effects: A) Neuronal populations encoding its phonological form will become active before this word is uniquely identifiable from its potential competitors by bottom-up analysis (uniqueness point UP). Using spatiotemporal multivariate pattern analysis we will test if the latency of phonological feature detection, used for word identification, is modulated by word's contextual predictability. If specific predictions are made, divergence should occur before the UP and should be supported by changes in oscillatory activity; B) Generating predictions should decrease bottom-up feature processing demands. We expect predictability to reduce the phase-amplitude coupling between the speech envelope and the gamma oscillations (a neuronal measure of phonological processing). In summary we aim to identify whether and how context enables predictions of incoming words’ form before it can be acoustically established. This will be critical for understanding the cortical architecture of speech processing with practical applications in artificial speech recognition.
Emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 Variant of Concern Omicron (B.1.1.529) - highlights Africa's research capabilities, but exposes major knowledge gaps, inequities of vaccine distribution, inadequacies in global COVID-19 response and control efforts

Nearly two years since the start of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, which has caused over 5 million deaths, the world continues to be on high COVID-19 alert. The World Health Organization (WHO), in collaboration with national authorities, public health institutions and scientists have been closely monitoring and assessing the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 since January 2020 (WHO 2021a; WHO 2021b). The emergence of specific SARS-CoV-2 variants were characterised as Variant of Interest (VOI) and Variant of Concern (VOC), to prioritise global monitoring and research, and to inform the ongoing global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The WHO and its international sequencing networks continuously monitor SARS-CoV-2 mutations and inform countries about any changes that may be needed to respond to the variant, and prevent its spread where feasible.
Performance Assessment of an Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage System for Heating and Cooling Applications

This study presents energy and exergy analyses of aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) integrated with a building heating and cooling system. In this regard, a typical bidirectional ATES integrated with a heat pump (HP) is considered in the provision of required heating and cooling demands. The different ATES components and the operating principle are described. Furthermore, energy and exergy models are formulated for three subprocesses: charging, storing, and discharging, to track changes in energy and exergy quantities with discharging time. The energetic and exergetic efficiencies are then evaluated for both operating cases. The limitation of the use of energy efficiency for ATES performance assessment is elaborated. In contrast, the importance of exergy analysis as a practical and temperature sensitive tool is considered as a quantitative and a qualitative measure of the ATES performance. Additionally, a comparison between energetic and exergetic efficiencies is presented where energy efficiency involves some ambiguities, especially when energy recovered from ATES is at a low temperature rather than at an ambient temperature.
Redox potentials of iron—nitrosyl complexes: DFT calculations

Quantum chemical calculations of the structure and solvation energies of mono- and dianions of Roussin’s red salt esters [Fe2(μ-RS)2(NO)4] (R = Me, Et, Pri, But) in solutions in THF and acetonitrile were carried out. In monoanions, an additional electron is localized on one Fe(NO)2 fragment, which leads to significant structural distortion of the anion compared to neutral molecule. The second electron is localized on the other Fe(NO)2 fragment; this causes symmetrization of the dianion geometry. There are good linear correlations between the calculated and experimental redox potentials of these systems. A relationship was proposed for estimation of the redox potentials of related iron—nitrosyl complexes. The standard redox potentials of the complex with R = Ph in water, DMSO, and acetonitrile evaluated using this expression lie between −0.5 and −0.6 V.

Extraction of airfoil data using PIV and pressure measurements

A newly developed technique for determining the angle of attack (AOA) on a rotating blade is used to extract AOAs and airfoil data from measurements obtained during the MEXICO (Model rotor EXperiments in COntrolled conditions) rotor experiment. Detailed surface pressure and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) flow fields at different rotor azimuth positions are examined for determining sectional airfoil data. The AOA is derived locally by determining the local circulation on the blade from pressure data and subtracting the induction of the bound circulation from the local velocity. The derived airfoil data are compared to 2D data from wind tunnel experiments and XFOIL computations. The comparison suggests that the rotor is subject to severe 3D effects originating from the geometry of the rotor, and explains why the Blade Element Momentum technique with 2D airfoil data over-predicts the loading of the rotor. The extraction technique is verified by employing the derived airfoil characteristics as input to computations using the BEM technique and comparing the calculated axial and tangential forces to the measured data. The comparison also demonstrates that the used technique of determining the AOA is a reliable tool to extract airfoil data from experimental data. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
