Vergleich der Wirksamkeit von Insulin glargin 300 E/ml (Gla-300) und Insulin degludec 100 E/ml (IDeg-100) bei insulin-naiven Erwachsenen mit Typ-2-Diabetes (T2D): Die RESTORE-2-Studie

Basalinsuline (BI) der zweiten Generation bieten im Vergleich zu BI der ersten Generation eine ähnliche oder optimierte Wirksamkeit mit einem besseren Sicherheitsprofil. Vergleichende Real-World-Daten zu BI der zweiten Generation bei T2D in Europa sind jedoch rar. RESTORE-2 war eine retrospektive, multi–zentrische, auf elektronischen Patientendaten basierte Nichtunterlegenheitsstudie, die die Wirksamkeit und Sicherheit von Gla-300 vs. IDeg-100 bei insulin-naiven T2D-Patienten nach 6 Monaten verglich. Alle Patienten, die von 2017-2020 mit Gla-300 oder IDeg-100 begannen, wurden 1:1-Propensity-Score gematcht (PSM) mit jeweils 357 Patienten in jeder PSM-Kohorte. Das Durchschnittsalter der Teilnehmer betrug 69 Jahre und die Diabetesdauer 14 Jahre. Der HbA1c-Ausgangswert von 9,2% (77 mmol/mol) konnte nach 6 Monaten in der Gla-300- und IDeg-100-Gruppe [-1,70% (95%-KI -1,90; -1,50) vs. -1,69% (95%-KI -1,89; -1,49)] deutlich reduziert werden ohne statistisch signifikanten Unterschied zwischen den Gruppen (p=0,49). Die Nicht-Unterlegenheit von Gla-300 vs. IDeg-100 konnte bestätigt werden (Nicht-Unterlegenheitsmarge von 0,30%; Unterschied zwischen den Gruppen nach 6 Monaten: 0,01%; 95%-KI -0,29; 0,27). Die Hypoglykämie-Rate (Episoden pro Patientenmonat) war in beiden Gruppen ähnlich niedrig und lag bei einem definierten Blutzucker von ≤ 70 mg/dl bei 0,13 (95%-KI 0,07;0,26) in der Gla-300-Gruppe und bei 0,14 (95%-KI 0,07;0,27) in der IDeg-100-Gruppe (p=0,87) und bei einem definierten Blutzucker von < 54 mg/dl bei 0,02 (95%-KI 0,01;0,05) in der Gla-300-Gruppe und bei 0,02 (95%-KI 0,01;0,04) in der IDeg-100-Gruppe (p=0,49). Bei Erwachsenen Insulin-naiven Patienten mit T2D war Gla-300 in der klinischen Praxis mit ähnlichen Verbesserungen der glykämischen Kontrolle und niedrigen Hypoglykämieraten verbunden wie IDeg-100. Eine Gewichtszunahme oder schwere Hypoglykämien wurden nicht beobachtet. Unterstützt durch Sanofi
Salient poles synchronous machine simulation, validation and inductance determination procedure

In this paper, a computer simulation of the salient poles synchronous machine (SPSM) is presented. This simulation employs a modeling based on the machine self and mutual inductance curves, determined from a methodology, which is also presented here. This methodology applies the volt–ampere method in a first experimental stage, where the machine currents and voltages are oscillographied, with its digitalized data storage. In a second stage, stored data receive a mathematical manipulation. The simulated results are confronted with the experimental currents and voltages measured in tests for purposes of validation of the SPSM modeling as well as the inductance determination methodology.

Use of human small leucine zipper protein in adipocyte differentiation procedure

The present invention relates to a use of a human small leucine zipper protein in the adipocyte differentiation procedure. More specifically, sLZIP binds with PPARγ2 to induce the formation of a complex of HDAC3 and PPARγ2, thereby functioning as a corepressor to negatively inhibit the transcriptional activity of PPARγ2 and suppress the differentiation to adipocytes, and thus can be used as a marker for treating diabetes and obesity and developing new medicines therefor.
Network for Regional SME Finance

The Network for Regional SME Finance, FinNetSME, is a network project designed to encourage an intensive exchange between regional public financiers on how to improve access to finance for Small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs). To this end, 20 partners from nine EU Member States will discuss current problems of SME finance, compare the situation in their respective regions and will suggest practical ways to bridge the market gap in SME finance, with or without public funding. In order to create the broadest possible basis for the discussion the range of participants in the network’s events will also include actors who are not formal Project Partners. They will be able to take part in the network as Associated Partners. The project will contribute to a greater awareness of the value of regional access to finance in the partners’ regions. Through the establishment of enhanced co-operation among partners and other stakeholders, the project will make it easier for regional governments to gain expertise in facilitating access to finance through their specialised institutions.
Delayed Photoelectron Transfer in Pt-Decorated CdS Nanorods under Hydrogen Generation Conditions

Noble-metal-decorated colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals are currently receiving significant attention for photocatalytic hydrogen generation. A detailed knowledge of the charge-carrier dynamics in these hybrid systems under hydrogen generation conditions is crucial for improving their performance. Here, a transient absorption spectroscopy study is conducted on colloidal, Pt-decorated CdS nanorods addressing this issue. Surprisingly, under hydrogen generation conditions (i.e., in the presence of the hole-scavenger sodium sulfite), photoelectron transfer to the catalytically active Pt is slower than without the hole scavenger, where no significant hydrogen generation occurs. This unexpected behavior can be explained by different degrees of localization of the electron wavefunction in the presence and absence of holes on the nanorods, which modify the electron transfer rates to the Pt. The results show that solely optimizing charge transfer rates in photocatalytic nanosystems is no guarantee of improved performance. Instead, the collective Coulomb interaction-mediated electron-hole dynamics need to be considered.
When are directional antennas useful in indoor environments

Directional antenna systems can provide two benefits 1) improve signal strength and increase communication range, and 2) improve spatial reuse. Recent work has drawn contradicting conclusions in terms of which of the two benefits dominates in indoor environments. These contradicting conclusions are in fact caused by different levels of contention within the environments used in these studies, i.e., noise-dominated vs. interference-dominated.In this paper, we first show that due to emerging applications and technologies, wireless networks are becoming interference-dominated, and thus the ability of the directional antennas to improve spatial reuse is becoming critical. Evaluating the benefits of spatial reuse, however, is difficult especially in indoor environments where multipath have both good and bad effect on spatial reuse.In this paper, we use the separation metric to estimate the effectiveness of directional transmission and guide the placement of directional APs in any particular environment. The separation metric summarizes both the angular and the distance separation for a collection of transmissions in a particular environment. We show that this metric, though simple, is powerful enough to capture the various properties of the deployment and the potential interactions among the directional transmissions. Our experimental results show in several scenarios that the separation metric works well in practice.
Prosthesis with Moveable Fenestration

An endoluminal prosthesis with a moveable fenestration including a tubular graft body having a proximal end, a distal end, a surface plane at least one fenestration having a perimeter disposed in a sidewall of the tubular body between the proximal end and the distal end, a first biocompatible graft material, and a second biocompatible graft material adjacent to and surrounding the perimeter of the at least one fenestration. The second biocompatible graft material has at least one characteristic different from the first biocompatible graft material and is more flexible than the first biocompatible graft material and is movable relative to the surface plane of the tubular graft body.
Why a hole is like a beam splitter: A general diffraction theory for multimode quantum states of light

Within the second-quantization framework, we develop a formalism for describing a spatially multimode optical field diffracted through a spatial mask and show that this process can be described as an effective interaction between various spatial modes. We demonstrate a method to calculate the quantum state in the diffracted optical field for any given quantum state in the incident field. Using numerical simulations, we also show that with single-mode squeezed-vacuum state input, the prediction of our theory is in qualitative agreement with our experimental data. We also give several additional examples of how the theory works, for various quantum input states, which may be easily tested in the lab; including two single-mode squeezed vacuums, single- and two-photon inputs, where we show the diffraction process produces two-mode squeezed vacuum, number-path entanglement and a Hong-Ou-Mandel-like effect--analogous to a beam splitter.
The cambodian archaeological lidar initiative: exploring resilience in the engineered landscapes of early se asia

For over half a millennium, the great medieval capital of Angkor lay at the heart of a vast empire stretching across much of mainland SE Asia. Recent research has revealed that the famous monuments of Angkor were merely the epicentre of an immense settlement complex, with highly elaborate engineering works designed to manage water and mitigate the uncertainty of monsoon rains. Compelling evidence is now emerging that other temple complexes of the medieval Khmer Empire may also have formed the urban cores of dispersed, low-density settlements with similar systems of hydraulic engineering.

Using innovative airborne laser scanning (‘lidar’) technology, CALI will uncover, map and compare archaeological landscapes around all the major temple complexes of Cambodia, with a view to understanding what role these complex and vulnerable water management schemes played in the growth and decline of early civilisations in SE Asia. CALI will evaluate the hypothesis that the Khmer civilisation, in a bid to overcome the inherent constraints of a monsoon environment, became locked into rigid and inflexible traditions of urban development and large-scale hydraulic engineering that constrained their ability to adapt to rapidly-changing social, political and environmental circumstances.

By integrating data and techniques from fast-developing archaeological sciences like remote sensing, palaeoclimatology and geoinformatics, this work will provide important insights into the reasons for the collapse of inland agrarian empires in the middle of the second millennium AD, a transition that marks the emergence of modern mainland SE Asia. The lidar data will provide a comprehensive and internally-consistent archive of urban form at a regional scale, and offer a unique experimental space for evaluating socio-ecological resilience, persistence and transformation over two thousand years of human history, with clear implications for our understanding of contemporary urbanism and of urban futures.
REGISTER FILE CIRCUIT AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE MINIMUM OPERATING SUPPLY VOLTAGE

A register file circuit according to some examples of the disclosure may include a memory cell, a header transistor circuit, and a driver circuit. The header transistor circuit may include one or more PFET headers in series with the PFETs of the memory cell with the gate of the PFET header for the row being written being controlled with a pulse write signal from the driver circuit. In some examples of the disclosure, the header transistor circuit may include an NFET pull-down inserted between a virtual-vdd and ground to discharge the virtual-vdd node reducing the contention during a write operation and a clamping NFET in parallel with the PFET header to clamp the virtual-vdd node to slightly below the threshold voltage of the pull-up PFET in the memory cell to ensure the pull-up PFET is barely off and prevent the virtual-vdd node from discharging all the way to ground.
Open City TechNology Enabler

Octane project aims to enhance visitor’s experience by developing and diffusing a mobile application that allows the visitor to walk around the city as if it was an open museum. The visitors will have the opportunity to discover cultural and natural sites that match their interests, to learn about the city’s architecture, culture and history, as well as the daily routine of the habitants.

The key characteristic of the mobile application is the connection between visitor’s navigation and visual contact with the point of interests and information provision. The visitor will download and install the application using Wi-fi hotspots established in the city’s airports and harbors or through the portal of the system. The application will incorporate on the city map all points of interests that had been selected by local authorities as most interesting cultural and natural sites.

The Region of Ionian Islands is the Lead beneficiary of this project in cooperation with two Italian partners, the University of Bari and the Consorzio per Lo Sviluppo Dell’ Area Conca Barese, and one Greek partner, the Ionian University – Research Committee.
Presencia del género Lissodus (Chondrichthyes, Selachii) en el Carbonífero superior de Puertollano (Ciudad Real, España): consideraciones paleoecológicas.

Se estudian cincuenta y cinco dientes aisládos de elasmobranquios hibodóntidos encontrados en el nivel bituminoso «Emma» de la serie carbonífera de Puertollano (Ciudad Real). Las piezas se asignan al género Lissodus Brough 1935, discutiéndose la posible pertenencia a L. zideki (Johnson, 1981) del Pérmico inferior del grupo Wichita-Albany (Tejas, Estados Unidos). El material, perteneciente a una misma especie, refleja clara heterodoncia distinguiéndose dientes mesiales, anterolaterales, laterales y posteriores. En lugar de la hipótesis clásica que considera como endorreica la cuenca de Puertollano, la asociación en el nivel «Emma» de restos de Lissodus semejantes a la especie marina L. zideki con platisómidos (peces actinopterigios), sugiere condiciones parálicas para esta cuenca carbonífera. Esta conclusión es compatible con la existencia de acantódidos (Acanthodes), xenacántidos (Orthacanthus y Xenacanthus) y anfibios disorófidos, taxones actualmente considerados como eurihalinos.
1632 – Risk factors for parasuicidal behavior among alcoholics

Introduction It is well recognized that alcohol dependence is among the major risk factors that are associated with suicidal behavior. Objectives This study was design to extend our understanding of alcohol-parasuicide relationship by examining some of the socio-demographic and mental health characteristics of alcohol dependent suicide attempters. Methods The relationship between alcohol dependence and parasuicide was studied among patients admitted to a Gomel regional psychiatric hospital (Belarus). A total 117 male alcohol dependent in-patients (ADPS) and a comparison group of 128 non-alcohol dependent parasuicidal in-patients (NADPS) were investigated. The socio-demographic and mental health profile of each group was analyzed. Results Risk factors for parasuicide were acute alcohol intoxication, social dysfunction and psychiatric symptoms. Results show that, compared with NADPS patients, those with an alcohol dependence were older (32.1 vs. 29.3; p Conclusions These findings are consistent with previous research indicating a causal role for acute alcohol intoxication in parasuicidal behavior among alcohol dependent individuals.
Fire-In - fire and rescue innovation network

FIRE-IN has been designed to raise the security level of EU citizens by improving the national and European Fire & Rescue (F&R) capability development process. FIRE-IN addresses the concern that capability-driven research and innovation in this area needs much stronger guidance from practitioners and better exploitation of the technology potentially available for the discipline. We argue that this is to be achieved by practitioners more effectively coordinating on operational needs, on available research and innovation, on standardisation, and on test & demonstration and training.  Further, we claim the need for the development of a common research culture that is to be achieved by better cooperation between practitioner and research/industry organisations. FIRE-IN addresses these objectives through four main areas of activity: (i) the identification and harmonisation of operational capability gaps based on the contribution provided by a significant and heterogeneous practitioner network, (ii) the identification of promising solutions to address those gaps through monitoring and screening of research outcomes and the continuous involvement of research and industry representatives, (iii) the definition of a F&R Strategic Research and Standardisation Agenda (SRSA) based on the previous  elements as well as (iv) the development of a concept for more efficient use of test & demonstration and training facilities to support innovation and joint skill development. 
The overarching result of the project will be a proven process for organising F&R capability-driven research based on a wide practitioner and research and innovation network. The network will be linked at cross-domain and cross-border level and will feed harmonised operational requirements (or challenges) into national and EU capability development, i.e. research, innovation, procurement and standardisation programmes.
Vibrational Origin of the Thermal Stability in the Highly Distorted α-Quartz-Type Material GeO<sub>2</sub>: An Experimental and Theoretical Study

We report an experimental and theoretical vibrational study of the high-performance piezoelectric GeO2 material. Polarized and variable-temperature Raman spectroscopic measurements on high-quality, water-free, flux-grown α-quartz GeO2 single crystals combined with state-of-the-art first-principles calculations allow the controversies on the mode symmetry assignment to be solved, the nature of the vibrations to be described in detail, and the origin of the high thermal stability of this material to be explained. The low-degree of dynamic disorder at high-temperature, which makes α-GeO2 one of the most promising piezoelectric materials for extreme temperature applications, is found to originate from the absence of a libration mode of the GeO4 tetrahedra.

Microwave-assisted extraction of phenolic compounds from olive leaves; a comparison with maceration.

The purpose of this study was to extract phenolic compounds from olive leaves of Koroneiki, Roghani and Mission varieties by maceration and Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) methods with different solvents. Our results revealed that the extraction method, solvent and variety had a significant effect on the amount of phenolic compounds (p<0.05). In both extraction methods, Koroneiki and Mission varieties had the most and least phenolic contents, respectively. In terms of solvents applied, ethanol was the most effective one, producing the highest extraction yield and acetone had the lowest yield. Generally, the highest phenolic concentration was achieved at 24 h (69.027 mg TAE/ g) in maceration method and at the 15 min (88.298 mg TAE/ g) of exposure during MAE by ethanol extract of Koroneiki variety. Furthermore, we found that MAE had a higher extraction yield compared with the maceration method. Key words, olive leaf, phenolic, extraction, microwave, maceration.
Changes in sleep patterns and disturbances in children and adolescents in Italy during the Covid-19 outbreak

To examine the impact of home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic on the sleep patterns and sleep disturbances in Italian children and adolescents.Participants completed an anonymous online survey, shared via social media and targeting children and adolescents aged 1-18 years, subdivided into age groups: 1-3, 4-5, 6-12, and 13-18 years. Caregivers completed a modified version of the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC), along with demographic information.The final sample consisted of 4314 subjects: 2217 males (50.4%) and 2097 females (49.6%). Age group distribution was: 1-3 years 1263 (29.3%), 4-5 years 893 (20.7%), 6-12 years 1848 (42.8%) and 13-18 years 310 (7.2%). We found a significant delay in bedtime and risetime in all age groups. School-age children and adolescents experienced the most significant delay: weekday bedtime ≥23 was reported by 28.4% of 6- to 12-year-old children during lockdown vs. 0.9% before and by 63.5% vs. 12.3% of 13- to 18-year-old adolescents. Risetime was also delayed with most subjects waking up after 8 in all age groups and sleep duration increased in all groups but not in the younger group. The screen time (excluding online lessons) boosted during the lockdown, mainly in older children but also in younger children. Sleep disorders increased in all groups but not in adolescents. Younger groups had an increased prevalence of difficulty falling asleep, anxiety at bedtime, night awakenings, nightmares and sleep terrors.Our study demonstrates that confinement due to COVID-19 determined a big delay in sleep/wake schedule of children in all age groups as well as an increase of sleep disturbances in all groups but adolescents.
