New Business opportunities & Environmental suSTainability using MED GRAPE nanotechnological products

Grape as a traditional crop in the Mediterranean area has a strong innovation potential, which has not been effectively exploited yet. People working in the grape cultivation sector are generally focused on improving the quality of grape and wine, but usually don’t consider how to make the most out of grape waste. Based on the R&D experience of the partners in the fields of grape valorization, waste exploitation and development of nanotechnological antioxidant/anti-inflammatory/anti-neurodegenerative formulations, BESTMEDGRAPE aims at supporting the creation of new startups/SMEs by transferring scientific/technological knowledge on local grape cultivars and the exploitation of wine by-products as a source of bioactive compounds that can be transformed into innovative commercial health products. Hence, the project will not only valorise a Mediterranean product - grape - but also the expansion of the grape value chain through the development of nanotechnological products, thus boosting the local economy, reducing environmental pollution and increasing employment opportunities.
Quantification of mixing and dynamic uncertainty for transport in heterogeneous porous media

Natural and engineered porous systems exhibit heterogeneity across several spatial scales leading to complex flow fields with strong fluctuations. The latter enhance the segregation and distortion of a transported scalar mixture, while diffusion promotes the local homogenization of it. In this context, spreading has been traditionally identified with the overall growth of the dissolved plume while mixing with the internal plume homogenization. Accurate quantification of mixing in heterogeneous media is one of the most relevant and still open challenges. Our current failure lay in the inability of capturing the interplay between flow fluctuations and local diffusion: the former promotes both the internal plume segregation (at early times, dominance of pure advection) and the subsequent homogenization (at late times; dominance of dispersion) by the sampling of flow fluctuations which trigger the internal folding and distortion of the plume enabling local homogenization by diffusion (coalescence mechanism).  We here propose to predict mixing within a unified framework (Work package 1) which leverage on the Lamellar description of transport and capture the early (segregation) and late (coalescence) time impact of fluctuations by viewing spreading as a sub-plume scale process: the dispersion and interactions of Lamellae are captured through a continuous time random walk (CTRW) approach.  At the same time, uncertainty about concentration distribution is a dynamic quantity ruled by the same physical mechanisms:  plume segregation (uncertainty production) and homogenization (uncertainty reduction). We here take advantage of the insight from the novel transport model to close evolution equations (e.g., for the variance and the probability density function) apt to describe the dynamic uncertainty (Work package 2). We then explore the establishment of ergodicity for mixing under a variety of conditions (e.g., degree of heterogeneity, strength of diffusion and advection)
Models for relief routing: Equity, efficiency and efficacy

In humanitarian relief operations, vehicle routing and supply allocation decisions are critically important. Similar routing and allocation decisions are studied for commercial settings where efficiency, in terms of minimizing cost, is the primary objective. Humanitarian relief is complicated by the presence of multiple objectives beyond minimizing cost. Routing and allocation decisions should result in quick and sufficient distribution of relief supplies, with a focus on equitable service to all aid recipients. However, quantifying such goals can be challenging. In this paper, we define and formulate performance metrics in relief distribution. We focus on efficacy (i.e., the extent to which the goals of quick and sufficient distribution are met) and equity (i.e., the extent to which all recipients receive comparable service). We explore how efficiency, efficacy, and equity influence the structure of vehicle routes and the distribution of resources. We identify trends and routing principles for humanitarian relief based on the analytical properties of the resulting problems and a series of computational tests.

Strengthening international r&i cooperations between china and the eu

China and the EU have a solid framework for successful collaboration aiming at tackling common global societal challenges, such as the progress of ageing society. In addition, China and the EU are determined to intensify their cooperation via several joint flagship initiatives in a number of focus areas including biotechnologies for human health. China has been third most important international partner country in the EU Framework Programme 7. However, the global health challenges are difficult to tackle unilaterally, the research landscape is still fragmented with partly divergent research priorities and there is a current tendency of decreased Chinese participation in the EU health programmes. Therefore, a continuous and sustainable health-related research and innovation dialogue between China and the EU has to be maintained and encouraged in order to highlight and leverage on cooperation possibilities of mutual benefit.  SENET - Sino-European Health Networking Hub has two main objectives: Firstly, it aims to create a sustainable health networking and knowledge hub which facilitates favourable conditions for a constant and constructive dialogue between Chinese and EU research and innovation entities. Secondly, it intends to increase collaborative efforts addressing common health research and innovation challenges. SENET’s objectives are in line with the expected impacts of the call. It intends to enhance bi-lateral and multi-lateral cooperation between EU and China on health research and innovation topics. It is determined to increase higher participation of Chinese researchers in SC1 and future EU and Chinese joint health research programmes and consequently strengthen R&I cooperation in health research and innovation. SENET is composed of a multidisciplinary team of 5 EU and 4 Chinese professionals with a long track record in their relative fields of expertise as think tank, researchers, policy analysts and trainers in health innovation and research management.

ECOREGIONS

ECOREGIONS was born from a common need of regional authorities from the Rur@ct European network: Limousin, Jämtland, Kainuu Regions, joined little by little by other public organizations: Picardie Region (Fr) -exporting partner in Rur@ct and today ECOREGIONS Lead Partner (LP)-, District of Forcheim (De), State Development Coporation of Thuringia (De), Regional Agency for Energy of Eszak Alfold (Hu), Chamber of commerce of Cremona (It), Malta intelligent energy management agency (Ma), County of Hordaland (No) and ERRIN (European Regions Research and Innovation Network), working on  EU dissemination.

They had the same objective: improving their governance of ecoinnovation and green technologies private sector (in particular SMEs) and using for this the good practices (GP) transfer approach, already experienced by some of them.

They referred to European definitions to define the project outline: green technologies are those that are less harmful for environment than other techniques.
Ecoinnovation gathers technological/non technological green innovations, both of high interest for the EU and defined as priorities in SDD, ETAP, EMAS & SCP/SIP.

In order to produce practical results, 4 sub-objectives were fixed:
.To put at the disposal of the partners a stock of successful GPs, among those 11 have been chosen before the start of the project, to be transferred. 5 of these GPs support ecoinnovation, 6 green technologies, on the following themes : sustainable energy (biomass, wind, biofuels, photovoltaic, geothermal energy); measurement and monitoring systems; optimization of industrial processes; low carbone vehicules; green chemistry; eco-housing; recycling and valorizing wastes; storage of electric energy / batteries; valorization of CO2.
.To precisely define and validate the implementation plans of the tranfers, in order to guarantee the integration into importing partners regional policy systems, of the GPs transferred, following a predefined transfer methodology.
.To integrate the good practices transfers within a larger thought process, targeting the direct improvement of local and regional policies in strategies  thanks to the involvement of elected members .
.To encourage other EU regional & local authorities thanks to improve their policies in the field, through the policy recommendations, website, newsletters, and the assistance of ERRIN.
ECOREGIONS is innovative, because it proposes a specific approach of transfer :going very far way in the process (until the policy improvement) in starting to prepare the transfers before the project starts, in involving policy-makers, in designing ambitious implementation plans; targeting local ownership of project results through the involvement of local stakeolders ; and integrating into the partnership various & complementary profiles of partners, likely to directly contribute to the policies improvement.
Reduced Inequalities as Factor of Sustainable Development: The Analysis Under Econometric Models

The paper proposes a different approach for the analysis of the sustainable development in the context of 2030 Agenda. The authors defined and used a cumulative model. For the beginning, the authors compare the dependent variable with the regressors of the four reporting entities: EU28, Romania, Turkey and Switzerland. These entities cover EU, the country of the authors, a candidate country and non-EU country, as well. The analysis is focused on the Goal 10 from the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development, covers 2000–2017 and is based on the latest official data from Eurostat. The model used by the authors generated high statistical representativeness. The statistical tests demonstrate the model’s homogeneity. A distinct part of the paper is focused on the risk analysis. The authors basically propose a distinct approach which is usefully for the central and regional decision makers. The statistical period took into consideration is good enough to support pertinent conclusions. The analysis leads to the conclusion that Romania can decrease the disparities regarding the sustainable development. On the other hand, the Romania’s progress in achieving sustainable development’s targets is lowest than the EU average. The model proposed in the paper supports the decision makers in achieving a more performant management regarding sustainable development goals. The paper represents a theoretical approach with great applicability to economic development.
Reduced progesterone concentration during growth of the first follicular wave affects embryo quality but has no effect on embryo survival post transfer in lactating dairy cows

Fertility of lactating dairy cows is associated with reduced progesterone (P 4 ) concentration compared with nonlactating animals. The objective of the current study was to determine whether P 4 during growth of the first follicular wave (FFW) affects embryo quality. Lactating Holstein cows at 33±3 days post partum were allocated to one of three treatments. Cows in the FFW and FFW with P 4 (FFWP) treatments started the superstimulation protocol on day 1 of the estrous cycle and second follicular wave (SFW) cows started the superstimulation protocol on estrous cycle day 7. Cows were superstimulated with 400 mg of NIH-FSH-P1 (FSH) given twice daily for 5 days, two prostaglandin F 2α (PGF 2α ) injections given with the ninth and tenth injections of FSH, GNRH given 48 h after the first PGF 2α injection, and timed insemination 12 and 24 h after the GNRH injection. Cows in the FFWP treatment received two intravaginal P 4 inserts during the superstimulation. Embryos were recovered 6.5 days after artificial insemination and excellent/good and fair embryos were frozen and transferred. Blood was sampled daily from estrous cycle day 0 until insemination from donor cows. During the superstimulation protocol, P 4 was ( P &lt;0.01) greatest for SFW cows followed by FFWP and FFW cows respectively. The percentage of embryos–oocytes from SFW and FFWP cows classified as excellent/good and fair embryos was ( P =0.02) greater than those of FFW cows. Pregnancy per embryo transfer was not ( P ≥0.73) affected by embryo donor treatment. Reduced embryo quality of cows induced to ovulate the follicles from the first follicular wave is a consequence of reduced P 4 during follicle growth.
MATERIAL TRANSSHIPMENT FOR PRECAST FABRICATION

Materials required for precast fabrication are dissimilar to those cast at construction sites. Fabricators who lack materials must wait until specific suppliers deliver the required materials. The objective of this study is to reduce total material management costs in the supply chain system through the most advantageous transshipment strategies. A material supply chain framework that enables fabricators to implement lateral transshipment is first proposed. Transshipment strategies are then formulated into a mathematical model. The most advantageous transshipment strategies are analyzed using computer simulation. Diverse order lead times, demands, transportation costs, and shortage costs are simulated to approximate operational conditions encountered in supply chain systems. Through various experiments, the most advantageous strategy for precast fabrication industry can be found. In addition, four rules are developed based on simulation results to enhance transshipment decision making. This research is one of the pioneering studies applying lateral transshipment to precast production management.
An investigation of Taiwanese high school students’ science learning self-efficacy in relation to their conceptions of learning science

Background: Past studies have shown significant associations between students’ conceptions of learning science and their science learning self-efficacy. However, in most of the studies, students’ science learning self-efficacy has often been measured by a singular scale.Purpose: Extending the findings of these studies, the present study adopted a multi-dimensional instrument to assess Taiwanese high school students’ science learning self-efficacy and investigate the relationships with their conceptions of learning science.Sample: A total of 488 Taiwanese high school students (265 male and 223 female) were invited to participate in this survey.Design and method: All the participants responded to the Conceptions of Learning Science (COLS) questionnaire regarding ‘Memorizing’, ‘Testing’, ‘Calculating and practicing’, ‘Increase of knowledge’, ‘Applying’ and ‘Understanding and seeing in a new way’ and the Science Learning Self-Efficacy (SLSE) instrument, including ‘Conceptual understanding’, ‘Higher-Order cogn...
Chemical profiling of inorganic and pyrotechnic explosives

The criminal law system has shown interest in the recent scientific developments with respect to chemical profiling of explosives. This approach goes beyond explosive material chemical identification, providing key intelligence to a counter-terrorism or forensic investigation on the basis of chemical clues in the form of impurities and degradation products. Explosive profiling can reveal relationships between samples obtained from a crime scene and material associated with a suspect. If such profiles can be linked to the production process and the raw materials used such intelligence information can even assist law enforcement in stopping attacks from being successfully executed. However, explosive profiling is challenging since it requires suitable analytical strategies, unbiased interpretation of the results, substantial sample collections and comprehensive knowledge on the chemical variation of explosives, precursors and environmental background levels. The main research objective of the PyroProf project is to offer suitable analytical tools for the chemical profiling of inorganic explosives of forensic interest (e.g., ammonium nitrate based and pyrotechnic mixtures) for their use in forensic casework. This project will yield selective sampling strategies, novel separation methodologies by state-of-the-art CE-MS and IC-MS instruments, complementary statistical approaches and databases with further knowledge on explosive, precursor, and background compositions useful for forensic interpretation. This outcome will benefit the experienced researcher to boost his career as a professional researcher in the analytical and forensic chemistry fields as well as will have impact on the European society since the results will be disseminated and used to/by scientific and forensic communities, improving the criminal justice system and the public awareness of the safety and security issued associated with the use of certain explosives (e.g., legal/illegal consumer fireworks).
Safe and secure mixed-criticality systems with low power requirements

Critical Real-Time Embedded Systems (CRTES) such as railway, aerospace, automotive and energy generation systems face a disruptive challenge caused by the massive irruption of mixed-criticality systems based on multicore processors. At the same time  low-power is an intensifying demand in many market segments, a competitive advantage for CRTES that have to operate with limited energy (e.g., battery powered systems), an enabler for higher availability  and a desired feature towards near-zero emission in systems with tens/hundreds of devices. Power is also a key aspect in mixed-criticality systems as another resource (together with time and space) that has to be shared among different applications and has to be strictly controlled not to cause undesired interferences.
The main objective of SAFEPOWER is to enable the development of mixed-criticality systems with low power, energy and temperature  in combination with safety, real-time and security support by a reference architecture orchestrating different local power-management techniques. SAFEPOWER builds a comprehensive suite of multi-core platform technologies as well as analysis, simulation and verification tools for low-power mixed-criticality systems, including hardware and software reference platforms assisting the implementation, observation and test of such applications. SAFEPOWER will demonstrate the benefits through two industrial use-cases and a cross-domain public demonstrator. The safety concept of SAFEPOWER will be assessed by an external certification authority and consider reference domains and safety standards (e.g. industrial IEC-61508, railway, automotive, aerospace).
SAFEPOWE brings significant improvements w.r.t. power, energy, temperature, availability and lifetime of CRTES as well as new types of competitive products operating with limited energy. Impact and exploitation will also be facilitated by the strong collaboration  with other related projects in the cluster of mixed-criticality systems.
ATUAÇÃO DO CIRURGIÃO-DENTISTA FRENTE À DISPLASIA ECTODÉRMICA INFANTIL: UMA REVISÃO DA LITERATURA

A Displasia Ectodérmica (DE) é uma desordem genética rara que afeta cabelos, pêlos, unhas e dentes, resultando em manifestações orais significativas, geralmente percebidas na infância. O objetivo deste trabalho foi revisar na literatura a atuação do cirurgião-dentista frente à DE em pacientes pediátricos. Tratou-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura, descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa, realizada no período de agosto de 2020 a maio de 2021, no portal da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Scielo e Pubmed, sendo selecionados 18 artigos do tipo relato de caso. A média de idade dos pacientes dos estudos variou entre 2 a 14 anos. As manifestações intraorais comumente encontradas foram a hipodontia e oligodontia, seguidas de alterações morfólogicas, enquanto que a anodontia foi considerada rara em casos de DE. O grau de complexidade da síndrome e a manifestação dos sintomas irão ditar a escolha do tratamento, que pode variar entre as resinas compostas, ortodontia e próteses parciais fixas ou remomíveis e totais. A atuação do cirurgião-dentista desde o diagnóstico até a reabilitação definitiva auxilia o paciente em seu amplo aspecto biopsicossocial, reduzindo, portanto, os impactos negativos na qualidade de vida dos individuos afetados.
