Tourism Promotion for sustainable growth of agriculture in Cadses area

Two of the most important reasons why rural areas are missing the tourism-related revenues other regions achieve are the lack of promotion of rural areas’ environmental and cultural resources and the scarcity of qualified tourist accommodation infrastructures. A strategy to overcome such difficulties is to become aware of and link all potentials and resources of the respective regions, and to market and offer tourist services in a clear and comprehensive way. The RURALTOUR project promotes sustainable forms of rural tourism and increases existing revenue opportunities for rural areas by developing a rural tourism marketing strategy. The project partners will implement this strategy in the participating regions in Italy, Poland, Austria, Hungary and Croatia. In addition, a recognisable international network and brand will be developed to designate certified sustainable rural tourism initiatives in the project areas. Finally, tourism resources and initiatives of the participating areas will be promoted via the Internet and also by using e-learning technologies.
Effect of exercise test on pulmonary function of obese adolescents

to investigate the pulmonary response to exercise of non-morbidly obese adolescents, considering the gender.a prospective cross-sectional study was conducted with 92 adolescents (47 obese and 45 eutrophic), divided in four groups according to obesity and gender. Anthropometric parameters, pulmonary function (spirometry and oxygen saturation [SatO2]), heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), respiratory rate (RR), and respiratory muscle strength were measured. Pulmonary function parameters were measured before, during, and after the exercise test.BP and HR were higher in obese individuals during the exercise test (p = 0.0001). SatO2 values decreased during exercise in obese adolescents (p = 0.0001). Obese males had higher levels of maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressures (p = 0.0002) when compared to obese and eutrophic females. Obese males showed lower values of maximum voluntary ventilation, forced vital capacity, and forced expiratory volume in the first second when compared to eutrophic males, before and after exercise (p = 0.0005). Obese females had greater inspiratory capacity compared to eutrophic females (p = 0.0001). Expiratory reserve volume was lower in obese subjects when compared to controls (p ≤ 0,05).obese adolescents presented changes in pulmonary function at rest and these changes remained present during exercise. The spirometric and cardiorespiratory values were different in the four study groups. The present data demonstrated that, in spite of differences in lung growth, the model of fat distribution alters pulmonary function differently in obese female and male adolescents.

Assessment of bone-fill following regenerative periodontal therapy by image subtraction using commercially available software

Context: There are few applicable methods and scant literature on using non-specific image analysis software to assess and quantify post-periodontal surgery bone-fill. Aims: The present study describes the method of digital subtraction radiography (DSR) and morphometric area analysis (MA) in assessing bone-fill following regenerative periodontal therapy by using two image processing tools. Settings and Design: For the bone-fill assessment, radiographs of 78 angular bone defects from 30 subjects who underwent periodontal flap surgery with hydroxyapatite bone graft placement were utilized. Materials and Methods: The initial radiographic image obtained at baseline was subtracted from the radiographic images taken at 12/24 weeks by using the commercially available image processing software. After digital subtraction, the digitized and excluded interdental bone was transferred to open source software for area calculation. Bone-fill calculated by using DSR and MA was compared to the bone-fill values obtained by using the 1 mm 2 counting grid placed over the digital sensor. Statistical Analysis: Intragroup comparison of bone-fill between various groups was performed using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by multiple comparisons using Bonferroni correction. One-way ANOVA followed by the post hoc test was used for intragroup and intergroup comparison. Results: DSR and MA showed higher mean bone-fill levels over radiographic grid. Conclusion: Considering that the software aims to reduce the inaccuracy behind manual assessment of bone-fill, the overestimation of bone-fill as compared to a grid may be attributed to the enhanced sensitivity of the method.
'It's risky to walk in the city with syringes': understanding access to HIV/AIDS services for injecting drug users in the former Soviet Union countries of Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan

BackgroundDespite massive scale up of funds from global health initiatives including the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund) and other donors, the ambitious target agreed by G8 leaders in 2005 in Gleneagles to achieve universal access to HIV/AIDS treatment by 2010 has not been reached. Significant barriers to access remain in former Soviet Union (FSU) countries, a region now recognised as a priority area by policymakers. There have been few empirical studies of access to HIV/AIDS services in FSU countries, resulting in limited understanding and implementation of accessible HIV/AIDS interventions. This paper explores the multiple access barriers to HIV/AIDS services experienced by a key risk group-injecting drug users (IDUs).MethodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted in two FSU countries-Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan-with clients receiving Global Fund-supported services (Ukraine n = 118, Kyrgyzstan n = 84), service providers (Ukraine n = 138, Kyrgyzstan n = 58) and a purposive sample of national and subnational stakeholders (Ukraine n = 135, Kyrgyzstan n = 86). Systematic thematic analysis of these qualitative data was conducted by country teams, and a comparative synthesis of findings undertaken by the authors.ResultsStigmatisation of HIV/AIDS and drug use was an important barrier to IDUs accessing HIV/AIDS services in both countries. Other connected barriers included:criminalisation of drug use; discriminatory practices among government service providers; limited knowledge of HIV/AIDS, services and entitlements; shortages of commodities and human resources; and organisational, economic and geographical barriers.ConclusionsApproaches to thinking about universal access frequently assume increased availability of services means increased accessibility of services. Our study demonstrates that while there is greater availability of HIV/AIDS services in Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan, this does not equate with greater accessibility because of multiple, complex, and interrelated barriers to HIV/AIDS service utilisation at the service delivery level. Factors external to, as well as within, the health sector are key to understanding the access deficit in the FSU where low or concentrated HIV/AIDS epidemics are prevalent. Funders of HIV/AIDS programmes need to consider how best to tackle key structural and systemic drivers of access including prohibitionist legislation on drugs use, limited transparency and low staff salaries within the health sector.
Seismic interpretation and petrophysical analysis for hydrocarbon resource evaluation of ‘Pennay’ field, Niger Delta

Seismic interpretation and petrophysical assessment of borehole logs from seven wells were integrated with the aim of establishing the hydrocarbon reserves prior to field development which will involve huge monetary obligation. Four hydrocarbon-bearing sands, namely Pennay 1, 2, 3 and 4 were delineated from borehole log data. Four horizons corresponding to near top of mapped hydrocarbon-bearing sands were used to produce time maps and then depth structural maps using checkshot data. Three major structure-building faults (F2, F3 and F5 which are normal, listric concave in nature) and two antithetic (F1 and F4) were identified. Structural closures identified as rollover anticlines and displayed on the time/depth structure maps suggest probable hydrocarbon accumulation at the upthrown side of the fault F4. Petrophysical analysis of the mapped reservoirs showed that the reservoirs are of good quality and are characterized with hydrocarbon saturation ranging from 56 to 72%, volume of shale between 7 and 20% and porosity between 25 and 31%. Pennay 2 and 3 have a better relative petrophysical ranking compared to other mapped reservoirs in the study area. Dissimilarity in the petrophysical parameters and the uncertainty in the reservoir properties of the four reservoirs were considered in calculating range of values of gross rock volume (GRV) and oil in place volume. This research study revealed that the discovered hydrocarbon reserve resource accumulations in the Pennay field for the four-mapped reservoir sand bodies have a total proven (1P) reserve resource estimate of 53.005MMBO at P90, 59.013MMBO at 2P/P50 and 65.898MMBO at 3P/P10. Reservoir C, the only interval with a gas cap, has a volume of 7737MMscf of free gas at 1P, 8893.2MMscf at 2P and 10185.2MMscf at 3P. These oil and gas volumetric values yield at 1P/ P90 total of 137.30MMBOE, 154.9MMBOE at 2P and 171.515MMBOE at 3P. Reservoirs B and D have the highest recoverable oil at 1P, 2P, and 3P values of 5.265MMBO and 10.70MMBO, 12.053MMBO and 5.783MMBO, 13.557MMBO and 6.244MMBO, respectively.
Virtual biosensor for medical warning precursors

MEDIWARN aims to develop a system for monitoring the vital parameters of patients through the use of a peripheral sensory system.The project capitalizes the knowledge deriving from the method used up to now, the EWS (Early Warning Score), overcoming the limits imposed by the lack of personnel that reduce welfare performance. The data will be sent to a central station equipped with a dedicated computer on which a mathematical model will be implemented. Such model will provide interpretative elements on the clinical status of the patients and its evolution before the deterioration of vital functions triggers the alert according to the EWS criteria. In this way, unlike EWS, health personnel will be promptly informed about the clinical conditions of each patient because the computer assigned to the department, equipped with artificial intelligence, will provide a picture of the evolution of the patient's clinical status. This information will also be sent to mobile devices (tablets) held by medical personnel._x000D_

It afforded the basis for analysis the load of reinforced concrete construction in the corrosion environment.
An Asymptotically Tight Security Analysis of the Iterated Even-Mansour Cipher

AbstractWe analyze the security of the iterated Even-Mansour cipher (a.k.a. key-alternating cipher), a very simple and natural construction of a blockcipher in the random permutation model. This construction, first considered by Even and Mansour (J. Cryptology, 1997) with a single permutation, was recently generalized to use t permutations in the work of Bogdanov et al. (EUROCRYPT 2012). They proved that the construction is secure up to \( \mathcal{O} (N^{2/3})\) queries (where N is the domain size of the permutations), as soon as the number t of rounds is 2 or more. This is tight for t = 2, however in the general case the best known attack requires Ω(N t/(t + 1)) queries. In this paper, we give asymptotically tight security proofs for two types of adversaries: 1 for non-adaptive chosen-plaintext adversaries, we prove that the construction achieves an optimal security bound of \( \mathcal{O} (N^{t/(t+1)})\) queries; 2 for adaptive chosen-plaintext and ciphertext adversaries, we prove that the construction achieves security up to \( \mathcal{O} (N^{t/(t+2)})\) queries (for t even). This improves previous results for t ≥ 6. Our proof crucially relies on the use of a coupling to upper-bound the statistical distance of the outputs of the iterated Even-Mansour cipher to the uniform distribution.KeywordsblockcipherEven-Mansour cipherkey-alternating cipherrandom permutation modelcouplingprovable security
Hyper-Emotionality after neurodegenerative loss of inhibition of the amygdala

I propose to test how hyper-anxiety in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients is caused by neurodegeneration in the amygdala, our ""center of fear"", by comparing with a unique group of Urbach Wiethe disease (UWD) patients with bilateral neurodegeneration of the amygdala (BLA) for which I also construct an animal model. UWD is caused by a very rare genetic mutation occurring in only a handful of individuals worldwide. My host in Lausanne has gained access, however, to a uniquely large group of UWD patients in South-Africa (>40) where the mutation has spread for 400 years in Dutch settlers. Our collaborators at Cape Town University have found, in anatomical & functional MRI and special behavioral tests, how specific loss of inhibitory projections from the basolateral (BLA) onto the central part of the amygdala (CeA) causes hyper-anxiety in UWD. Based upon recently reported BLA neurodegeneration in AD patients, I hypothesize a crucial BLA role in hyper-anxiety of AD patients. I plan to test this in AD patients with clinical collaborators in Lausanne and, to test this hypothesis causally, I have started to opto,- anc chemogenetically decrease BLA function in an animal model.
In addition, in Lausanne a stronger hyper-anxiety was observed in AD patients with insecurely attached personality profiles. As my host lab has established an inhibitory role of oxytocin (OT) in the CeA, I hypothesize a decreased OT signaling in CeA of these patients, adding to the anxiety already caused by the BLA loss. I plan to test this both in AD and UWD patients by correlating attachment profiles with OT levels (in blood & cerebrospinal fluid) and anxiety levels & BLA damage (MRI). I will use opto&chemogenetic targeting of OT signaling in animals for a causal relation. This multidisciplinary and translational approach can give a deeper understanding of the role of the amygdala in hyper-anxiety in human patients, and provide a firm neurobiological basis for applying OT to treat anxiety disorders.
POWER GENERATION USING WATER PRESSURE

Systems are disclosed that use water pressure to generate power. The systems can include a chamber having an inlet conduit and an outlet conduit that has a valve configured to regulate an outlet flow of water through the outlet conduit. A reciprocating element can be disposed within the chamber, such that the reciprocating element is moved as a function of a pressure of an inlet flow of water flowing through the inlet conduit. A generator can be coupled to the reciprocating element, such that power is generated as a function of the reciprocating element's movement.

Liquidity Preference Under Uncertainty: A Model of Dynamic Investment in Illiquid Assets

The paper presents a mathematical model of optimal investment in illiquid assets. Specifically, the model addresses the problem of an investor with limited capital resources, who makes sequential decisions on long-term investments under uncertainty as to future opportunities. The model demonstrates that such an investor will optimally demand a higher rate of return on investments in long-term, unmarketable assets and that the size of the premium demanded is an increasing function of the duration of the illiquid investment. Liquidity Preference under Uncertainty: A Model of Dynamic Investment in Illiquid Assets I . Introduction The article presents a mathemetical model of liquidity preference in an uncertain environment. The model addresses the problem of an investor, with access to a limited pool of capital, who makes sequential decisions on long-lasting investments, under uncertainty as to future opportunities. Our results demonstrate that a rational investor will, under these circumstances, demand a higher rate of return (liquidity premium) on investments in long-lasting unmarketable assets than on marketable ones. The liquidity premium demanded is an increasing function of the duration of the illiquid investment. Lumpiness and limited reversibility are important characteristics of some types of investment decisions (particularly investments in real capital) . Yet, with few exceptions, financial models of optimal investment (portfolio allocation) and the equilibrium structure of returns, rest on the assumption that asset markets are fluid and frictionless . That is, it is generally assumed that no transaction costs or trading indivisibilities exist which would hamper individuals in their initial allocation of wealth or in the free revision of their portfolios, and it is extremely difficult to incorporate such effects (and retain analytic tractability) into these models. For this reason, our analysis begins at a different point: from the outset we define some investment opportunities to be illiquid, and from there proceed to consider optimal investment criteria for such assets (in a dynamic context ,. where accepting one illiquid investment may cause the investor to forfeit a better one in the future). Liquidity, in this analysis, is considered to be a time variable:
Classification and Methodology—Finely Dispersed Systems

Abstract Various possible classifications, related to the main subject in the book, are presented, and the chosen classifications are linked to FDS-emulsions and double emulsions. Classifications based on scales, geometries, origin of forces, physical-chemical processes are considered. A kind of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach is used to guide a deeper and more comprehensive elucidation of particular events and phenomena. A new theoretical concept based on entities is developed, which allows for the consideration of constitutive phases as composed of particles, and for the exploration of FDS-emulsions or double emulsions as discrete systems. As a consequence, it will be necessary to introduce classical and quantum electrodynamics in the chapters to come.
