Direct and indirect effects of weather experiences on life satisfaction – which role for climate change expectations?

This paper deals with the effect of (1) damage experience from extreme weather events and (2) expectations concerning future climate change on subjective well-being (SWB). We use data from a large representative survey carried out amongst German households. The effect of experienced weather events on the SWB of the heads of households is significant only in the case of heat waves; the same cannot be said for storms, heavy rain, and floods. Concerns about future climate change in households have a substantial negative impact on current SWB. In addition, we divide the impact of experience into direct and indirect effects of damage, deduced from the impact of experience on expectations regarding future climate change. Both direct and indirect effects of weather experiences are quantified. It becomes apparent that the indirect effect is significant, but small when compared to the direct effect.
The emergence of COVID-19 associated mucormycosis: a review of cases from 18 countries

Reports of COVID-19-associated mucormycosis have been increasing in frequency since early 2021, particularly among patients with uncontrolled diabetes. Patients with diabetes and hyperglycaemia often have an inflammatory state that could be potentiated by the activation of antiviral immunity to SARS-CoV2, which might favour secondary infections. In this Review, we analysed 80 published and unpublished cases of COVID-19-associated mucormycosis. Uncontrolled diabetes, as well as systemic corticosteroid treatment, were present in most patients with COVID-19-associated mucormycosis, and rhino-orbital cerebral mucormycosis was the most frequent disease. Mortality was high at 49%, which was particularly due to patients with pulmonary or disseminated mucormycosis or cerebral involvement. Furthermore, a substantial proportion of patients who survived had life-changing morbidities (eg, loss of vision in 46% of survivors). Our Review indicates that COVID-19-associated mucormycosis is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis of pulmonary mucormycosis is particularly challenging, and might be frequently missed in India.
Feasibility study of a bionic agitator – a prototype of this agitator has shown great potential for energy reduction of agitator technology.

A prototype of a newly developed agitator has shown great potential for energy reduction in agitator technology. The developed agitator was inspired by the way ducks move their feet in the water – a very energy-efficient way. Consequently we call the new agitator a bionic agitator. Now we want to validate the findings from the test of the prototype in a beta-phase test.
The idea to question the current agitator technology arose, while analysing the reasons for small biogas plants (<75kW, operating on organic waste) not being profitable. Martin Falger, the inventor of the bionic agitator and major shareholder of the wusoa GmbH, focused on the fact, that the highest fraction of the primary energy consumption of a biogas plant is needed for the agitator used in the same plant. The prototype of the bionic agitator has shown the potential to reduce this energy consumption by 60 per cent or more. Thus more of the produced energy in the biogas plant can be fed into the grid. As a result of this increase in the effective output it becomes more attractive to generate energy from organic waste – which means a 100% carbon neutral way of energy production and a great contribution to the EU goals of reducing emissions by 80% in 2050.
The proposed feasibility study includes a field test where the bionic agitator is installed in five existing biogas plants. One additional bionic agitator will be installed in the biogas plant of the University of Hohenheim (Stuttgart, Germany) to test it against a conventional agitator. The aim of the feasibility study is to obtain reliable data on the energy reduction, the material used and to get a solid feedback from potential customers.
We estimate that the European market for agitators in the biogas industry is approx. worth 2.7 billion euro. However the bionic agitator cannot only be used in the biogas industry – the energy savings make it attractive for any industry where fluids need to be stirred or mixed.
Ancient religious dedications in the western mediterranean basin

Ancient European cultural features are made up of epichoric creations, transfers and even local adaptations. Before Roman domination led to a new, centralised kind of cultural context, numerous peoples had developed their own cultural and identity codes through creation, adaptation and re-elaboration of concepts and objects. The goal of this project is to identify these processes of creation in Pre-Roman peoples' written expression. An innovative criterion has been chosen to accomplish this challenge, that is, the epigraphical genre (EG), whose definition through its material and textual elements (ME and TE) we have developed, and we will refine through this project. A particular kind of EG,  the religious dedication (RD),  is our starting point due to their wide diffusion and their significance in identity matters. 
We believe that the epigraphical approach is idoneous to achieve this aim, given its holistic results and its multidisciplinar methodology. It also involves a direct analysis of the pieces, which contributes preserving European archaeological, linguistic and religious heritage. All the results will be stored in an updated, accesible online epigraphical DataBase of all the Pre-Roman and early Roman RD in the Roman West, which will facilitate knowledge transfer at all levels and on which our further research will be based.
The proposed interdisciplinary research combines the linguistic and socio-linguistic approach, led by Dr. Emmanuel Dupraz (the supervisor), with the historical/epigraphical perspective, provided by Dr. María José Estarán (the ER) at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB).

Thermal evolution of the core with a high thermal conductivity

Abstract The rate at which heat is extracted across the core mantle boundary (CMB) is constrained by the requirement of dynamo action in the core. This constraint can be computed explicitly using the entropy balance of the core and depends on the thermal conductivity, whose value has been revised upwardly. A high order model (fourth degree polynomial of the radial position) for the core structure is derived and the implications for the core cooling rate and thermal evolution obtained, using the recent values of the thermal conductivity. For a thermal conductivity increasing with depth as proposed by some of these recent studies, a CMB heat flow equal to the isentropic value (13.25 TW at present) leads to a 700 km thick layer at the top of the core where a downward convective heat flow is necessary to maintain an isentropic and well mixed average state. Considering a CMB heat flow larger than the well mixed isentropic value leads to an inner core less than 700 Myr old and the thermal evolution of the core is largely constrained by the conditions for dynamo action without an inner core. Analytical calculations for that period show that a CMB temperature larger than 7000 K must have prevailed 4.5 Gyr ago if the geodynamo has been driven by thermal convection for that whole time. This raises questions regarding the onset of the geodynamo and its continuous operation for the last 3.5 Gyr. Implications regarding the evolution of a basal magma ocean are also considered.
Quantifying the global patterns and trends of the illegal wildlife trade: from artificial intelligence to financial market analysis

Illegal wildlife trade is one of the major threats driving the global extinction crisis. Despite political will to halt the problem, the magnitude and scale of illegal wildlife trade have been relatively poorly studied compared to other threats affecting biodiversity conservation. Lack of data and complexities in determining illegal trade volumes and the availability of illegal wildlife products in the marketplace have thus far limited progress in research. The socio-ecological and economic drivers underlying the illegal wildlife trade remain unclear. The goal of this project is, for the first time with this extent and detail, to quantify global patterns and trends of the illegal wildlife trade and how market forces shape them.
The deluge of information from digital technologies in the ‘Information Age’ combined with the development of new artificial intelligence techniques will allow me to quantify the global patterns and trends of the illegal wildlife trade at an unprecedented spatio-temporal detail. Illegal wildlife trade is booming online and I hypothesize that Big Data mined from social media platforms can help identify which wildlife products are traded and to assess motivations behind the trade. I plan to combine such novel, geotagged and temporally accurate, information with other spatio-temporal datasets on law enforcement and human pressure, to identify the global hotspots under pressure from illegal wildlife trade and quantify the flow of wildlife products between these hotspots and the marketplaces in demand countries. I also plan to investigate how pervasive market forces underline the global patterns and trends of the illegal wildlife trade.
The proposed research will provide (i) novel concepts and methods for conservation science and identify (ii) species and areas most under pressure from illegal wildlife trade globally, (iii) the trade routes and flow of wildlife products; and (iv) the drivers underlying the illegal wildlife trade.
Migración centroamericana y procesos de contención territorial en la frontera sur de México

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;En el siglo &lt;span&gt;XXI&lt;/span&gt; la migración irregular centroamericana por México y con destino a Estados Unidos es masiva e histórica; producida por causas estructurales. Este artículo argumenta que, con base en fuentes oficiales e informes de derechos humanos (2014-2019), esta migración experimentó procesos de contención territorial, derivada de la presión estadounidensey de políticas migratorias del gobierno mexicano (Programa Frontera Sur en 2014 y el envío de la Guardia Nacional a esa misma zona en 2019). Lo anterior se expresó en la diferenciación y aumento en la distribución de los lugares de las detenciones y deportaciones de los migrantes. Un aporte del presente trabajo consiste en mostrar que la contención migratoria se concentró territorialmente en el sur de México (Chiapas, Oaxaca, Veracruz y Tabasco) y fue resultado de procesos de producción política y socio jurídica de fronteras.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
Cephalopod genomics: A plan of strategies and organization

The Cephalopod Sequencing Consortium (CephSeq Consortium) was established at a NESCent Catalysis Group Meeting, "Paths to Cephalopod Genomics- Strategies, Choices, Organization," held in Durham, North Carolina, USA on May 24-27, 2012. Twenty-eight participants representing nine countries (Austria, Australia, China, Denmark, France, Italy, Japan, Spain and the USA) met to address the pressing need for genome sequencing of cephalopod mollusks. This group, drawn from cephalopod biologists, neuroscientists, developmental and evolutionary biologists, materials scientists, bioinformaticians and researchers active in sequencing, assembling and annotating genomes, agreed on a set of cephalopod species of particular importance for initial sequencing and developed strategies and an organization (CephSeq Consortium) to promote this sequencing. The conclusions and recommendations of this meeting are described in this white paper.
Thermal behavior of coffee oil (Robusta and Arabica species)

Coffee seeds are a source for obtaining oil which is used in the candy, soluble coffee, and cosmetics industries. The main purpose of this study was the investigation of the lipid profile and thermal behavior of the roasted and in nature coffee oil of Arabica and Robusta species, using thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis, derivative thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and modulated DSC. Details concerning the thermal decomposition as well as data of the kinetic parameters have been described here. The kinetic studies were evaluated from several heating rates with a sample mass of 10 mg in open crucible under nitrogen atmospheres. The obtained data were evaluated with the isoconversional kinetic method, where the values of activation energy (E
 a/kJ mol−1) were evaluated in function of the conversion degree (α). In addition, this oil was evaluated by modulated DSC from 25 to −60 °C, where the transition phase behavior was verified.
CONTINUOUS LOCALIZATION AND GUIDED TREATMENT OF CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS

Systems, devices, and methods localize and/or treat arrhythmias of a heart of a patient using signals sensed at an accessible body surface. Based on a database of known heart signals and associated ectopic origin sites or exit sites for treatment guidance, continuous localization identifies candidate ectopic or exit sites throughout a continuous region of tissue. An integral from a selected time interval of a reference heart cycle can be compared statistically with known body surface maps. Statistical interpolation can identify a candidate ectopic or exit site which is different than the known ectopic or exit sites. Relative localization provides accurate site identification from one or more known pacing sites (and the associated heart signals) taken from the patient.
NAVI: Navigation aid for the visually impaired

This paper describes a voice navigational system for the visually impaired which runs on the user's smart-phone as an application and requires no additional expensive or heavy hardware. This system requires just the live video stream from the user's phone camera and an internet connection, and hence can be used on the most basic of smart-phones. The system proposed here identifies obstacles in front of the user and approaching obstacles, and is able to classify the obstacle into categories like car, human, dog, door or chair along with a direction of approach which would be either left, right or middle, in real time. It is also able to recognize faces of some predetermined people that the user desires. An audio feedback is given to the user. This system does not aim to eliminate the walking stick, but is meant to be used along with it essentially expanding the range of awareness of the user.
Making humans: human dignity in nineteenth-century france

Human dignity refers to the intrinsic worthiness of the human being, which renders all individuals equal bearers of rights. It is a shared value of the European Member States and the cornerstone of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Modern scholarship has relied on an uncontested paradigm: the recognition of the intrinsic worthiness of the human being necessarily entails social justice and the equality of all individuals. This approach is nonetheless unsuitable for examining human dignity in the nineteenth century, a time period that has been insufficiently explored. HuDig19 focuses on the case of France and reveals fascinating discoveries. Human dignity was defined as a sentiment, a conception that does not bear any historical precedents. Human dignity was deployed to humanize certain people while downgrading the humanity of others. Human dignity was also used to conceal inequalities and to justify injustices. To explain those startling findings, HuDig19 adopts a novel critical theory approach and explores untapped nineteenth-century sources. The idea of human dignity has never been studied in such an archival and critical ways. HuDig19 focuses on the following research objectives: a) To unveil why human dignity was conceived as a sentiment b) to explain its emotional regime c) to examine whether human dignity was used to justify inequalities d) to reveal how it was used to strip women of their citizenship and e) to update our contemporary conception of human dignity. HuDig19 open new interdisciplinary perspectives for the studies of a value that defines our democracies. HuDig19 is carried out by Prof. Antonio Pele, who has developed strong expertise on human dignity. The primary supervisor, Prof. Bernard E. Harcourt, is a leading scholar in critical theory. The co-supervisor, Prof. Arnaud Esquerre is a renowned scholar in historical sociology. HuDig19 is implemented in the remarkable infrastructure of the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris.

The mentalization-based treatment of children who were maltreated

This study investigated the possibility of developing the mentalization capacity in the psychotherapy of children who suffered abuse. Based on psychoanalytic theory and studies in reflective function and mentalization capacity, we carried out a qualitative study, guided by the clinical method. The procedure adopted was the Multiple Case Study and the participants were two girls aged 10 and 12 years old and their caregivers. The instruments used to collect data were semi-structured interviews, Play Time, Fables Test and Manchester Child Attachment Story Task MCAST, in addition to psychotherapy sessions. The MCAST was reapplied after the first 20 sessions of psychotherapy. The results showed insecure attachment, limited capacity for mentalization before psychotherapy and changes in mentalization after the first 20 sessions.
Risk Monitoring, Modelling and Mitigation of benthic Harmful Algal Blooms along Mediterranean coasts

Project in brief _x000D_
_x000D_
Blooms of Ostreopsis in coastal areas are a topic of increasing interest, mainly in the Mediterranean Sea, due to the potential hazards that this species of algae might cause to human health and the consequent negative effects on tourism, fishery and aquaculture businesses. In the last 15 years, blooms of toxic ‘dinoflagellates’ (harmful water microorganisms) belonging to the genus Ostreopsis were observed in temperate and tropical coastal waters in both the northern and southern hemispheres. In the Mediterranean region, blooms of Ostreopsis have taken place with_x000D_
