Investigating proxies for understanding trajectories: heritage language maintenance and child second language acquisition in refugee contexts

Investigating Proxies for Understanding Trajectories: Heritage Language Maintenance and Child Second Language Acquisition in Refugee Contexts (INPUT) will examine heritage language and child second language development in the European refugee context. INPUT will significantly add to a sub-field of bilingualism studies, Heritage Language Bilingualism (HLB), by studying refugee heritage speakers in Europe, an understudied subset of HLB. This empirical study will investigate linguistic and extra-linguistic variables affecting the development of both the societal majority language and the heritage language with the goal of impacting education policy development. Heritage language Syrian Arabic in Germany and second language German will be investigated with a focus on 6- to 12-year-old children to examine developmental trajectories. The overall research objective is to understand the extent to which increased or reduced heritage language exposure affects heritage language and child second language trajectories and outcomes. For Europe, supporting refugee youth can have significant impact towards the publicly stated goal of integrating this population into their newly adopted countries. One major impediment to this integration is their successful acquisition of the societal majority language while maintaining and developing the first language. Our hypothesis is that support for continued development in the heritage language will improve second language development with knock-on effects for the academic achievement of refugees. At present, heritage language support and training varies tremendously all over Europe. Project findings will be relevant especially for policy makers, teachers, school principals and HLB communities in European countries that have seen a notable increase of Syrian Arabic heritage speakers. To date, most heritage language studies have focused exclusively on the minority language, INPUT helps to fill an important gap by focusing on both languages.
Atrial fibrillation and thromboembolic risk: what is the extent of adherence to guidelines in clinical practice?

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac rhythm disorder in clinical practice, with a growing prevalence in recent decades. Through the use of thromboembolic risk scores it is possible to adjust thromboprophylaxis to individual risk. The aim of this study was to evaluate the conformity of antithrombotic therapy prescribed at hospital discharge with the guidelines in patients with AF and its influence on long-term morbidity and mortality.We performed a retrospective analysis, based on medical records and phone interview, of consecutive patients admitted to an internal medicine department over a one-year period with a diagnosis of AF or atrial flutter--ICD-9-CM 427.31/32. We determined individual thromboembolic risk in accordance with the ACC/AHA/ESC risk categories, and assessed conformity of antithrombotic therapy with the guidelines. Independent predictors of long-term (378 +/- 241 days) mortality and mortality or readmission were identified by multivariate analysis.The study population consisted of 174 patients with a diagnosis of AF, 59.8% (104) female, mean age 77 +/- 10 years. Hypertension (65.7%) and heart failure (61.3%) were the most prevalent comorbidities. Most patients (82.7%) were stratified as high thromboembolic risk and the remainder as moderate risk. The antithrombotic therapy prescribed at hospital discharge was documented in 155 patients, 126 (81.3%) with high thromboembolic risk. Of the latter group of patients, oral anticoagulation (OAC) was prescribed in 65 (51.6%) and proposed but contraindicated in 24 (19.0%). In patients with moderate thromboembolic risk, therapeutic options were divided between OAC (69.0%), antiplatelet therapy (17.2%) and no thromboprophylaxis (13.8%). Overall there was discordance between the therapy instituted and the guidelines in 25.8% of patients. Age 85 years or over was the only independent predictor of death (HR 1.92; 95% CI 0.94-3.91), while OAC (HR 0.43; 95% CI 0.27-0.70) and male gender (HR 0.58; 95% CI 0.36-0.94) were independent protective factors against death or hospital readmission.In this study, patients admitted with AF were mainly elderly, women and with high thromboembolic risk. The prescription rate of OAC in patients at high risk was lower than recommended in the guidelines, which were not followed in a quarter of patients. The main therapeutic option in cases of moderate risk was OAC. OAC use was the only modifiable factor able to improve prognosis of patients with AF, and it is thus crucial to ensure adherence to the guidelines in daily clinical practice.
Influence of Consumers' Shopping Value and Product Types on LOHAS Consumption

The purpose of this study is to provide implications for LOHAS(Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability) consumption growth. The study investigated the relationships between shopping value, LOHAS consciousness and LOHAS consumption. The finding of this study revealed that both hedonic and utilitarian shopping values had a positive effect on LOHAS consciousness and LOHAS consumption. We also found that the representative hedonic and utilitarian products(electronics) had the positive relationship between the both hedonic and utilitarian shopping values and LOHAS consumption. Furthermore, the representative hedonic LOHAS products(cosmetics) showed a positive relationship between hedonic shopping values and LOHAS consumption. However the representative utilitarian LOHAS product(detergent) did not show a relationship between utilitarian shopping values and LOHAS consumption. These findings are expected to provide marketing implications for LOHAS consumption growth. To improve consumers` LOHAS consumption, it is essential to focus on strengthening the hedonic value of the consumers, highlighting LOHAS consciousness. LOHAS consumption may improve the pride of consumers and increase the pleasure of the consumers. Additionally, it is necessary that publicity and education justify consumer behavior such that LOHAS consumption is socially responsible and it is a mature and exemplary action of citizens obligations to society.
On the history of units in French elementary school arithmetic: The case of proportionality

The measurement of magnitudes was at the foundation of numbers and calculation in academic mathematics until the 19th century. It provided units and the concrete and abstract numbers that formed the basis of school arithmetic up to the mid-20th century in France. Our analysis of changes in teaching resources for proportionality (late 19th to the early 21st century) documents how the disappearance of magnitudes in academic knowledge was followed by the loss of the differentiation of the conceptual complexity of mathematical ideas related to proportionality. These changes made teaching and learning about proportionality considerably more difficult, and we later witness their gradual, but not yet systematic, reversal. La mesure des grandeurs a été aux fondements des nombres et du calcul dans les mathématiques académiques jusqu'au XIXe siècle. Elle a fourni les unités et les nombres concrets et abstraits qui ont constitué la base de l'arithmétique scolaire jusqu'au milieu du XXe siècle en France. Notre analyse de l'évolution des ressources pour l'enseignement de la proportionnalité (de la fin du XIXe siècle au début du XXIe siècle) documente la façon dont la disparition des grandeurs dans les mathématiques académiques a été suivie par une perte de différenciation de la complexité conceptuelle des notions mathématiques liées à la proportionnalité dans les ressources pour l'enseignement. Ces évolutions ont rendu l'enseignement de la proportionnalité considérablement plus difficile, nous assistons par la suite à un retour progressif mais non systématique.
TREATMENT FOR RECYCLING FRACTURE WATER - GAS AND OIL RECOVERY IN SHALE DEPOSITS

A method and apparatus for hydrocarbon recovery and/or treatment of frac water includes introducing a volume of water into a formation, recovering the introduced water, with the recovered introduced water further comprising suspended hydrocarbon product. The recovered liquid is treated to remove substantial amounts of the suspended hydrocarbon product, provide the treated recovered liquid with a ORP in a range of 150mv to 1000mv, and partially desalinated, and is either re-introduced as treated recovered liquid with the ORP into a formation to assist in recovery of additional hydrocarbon deposits in the formation, or is stored to reduce the ORP and then subsequently discharged into surface waters.
Development of a dual-lamp projector with higher brightness

Stationary projectors mainly used in system applications have recently gained a wider application range, including general presentations in halls and large conference rooms and being used, for example, in digital signage and for monitoring purposes. Consequently, they are required to meet new market demands for durability, reliability, and flexibility in installation in addition to their conventional basic performance such as especially high brightness. To achieve especially high brightness, a new optical system with two lamps is proposed; the profile of the cover glass that prevents the glass from scattering is made aspherical, the profile of the beam-combining mirror is improved with its position optimized, and the size of the incident plane of the integrator rod is made larger (1.1 times). These measures resulted in an optical system of an even higher efficiency with 7000 lm, which is the highest in its class (according to a June 2010 investigation). Also, the arrangement of two parallel lamps completely eliminated the effect of heat passing from one lamp to the other, which helped secure durability, reliability, and flexibility in installation. Furthermore, the combined use of the unique non-telecentric optical system, adopted from the conventional single-lamp model, helps maintain the class-highest contrast ratio.1,2
NONLINEAR BOOLEAN PERMUTATION

A method (100) for generating a nonlinear Boolean permutation, the method (100) comprises selecting n number of initial binary Boolean functions for a first n number of components of the nonlinear Boolean permutation (102), iterating converting linear combination of the selected n number of initial binary Boolean functions to a plurality of balanced functions (104), randomly generating a remaining number of components of the nonlinear Boolean permutation (106) and performing a nonlinearity test on the nonlinear Boolean permutation (108) to obtain a nonlinearity parameter, until the nonlinearity parameter meets a predetermined condition.

The first ultra-low extractable silicone film release liner for electronics, silicone adhesive market and medical applications

Today, silicone contamination is one of the main challenges for players of the electronics sector which require the use of Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA). Silicon contamination can drive to 10-20% of defective products. The release liners used for this PSA require low levels of extractible silicone (<20 ng/cm²). Besides, the adhesives used in the electronic market are solvent based. Today, solvent resistant release liners present still high levels of extractible silicone. On the other hand, those release liners with low extractible silicone are not solvent resistant and often do not present high subsequent adhesion. XIMOFILM is also a release liner addressed to the medical sector, where silicone and soft silicone gel adhesives are increasingly used. In this sector the release liners must also present low level of extractible silicones. 
Founded in 2001, CPI is a spin-off French pioneering company offering complete service for industrial atmospheric plasma integration addressed to professionals of packaging, printing, polymer transformations and textiles. Thanks to the optimisation and industrialisation of our cold atmospheric plasma technology, CPI will offer the first ultra-low extractable film silicone release liners with good release force properties (low) and high subsequent adhesion of the adhesive (more than 90% compared to 65% of current competitors), solvent resistant and with very low silicone contamination (<10ng/cm²). The production cost will be also reduced, allowing to purchasing prices 30% cheaper than our competitors. 
For this Phase 1, we will focus on the technical and financial feasibility of XIMOFILM process and well define the business model to extend our commercial network to Europe and Asia. For CPI, this project will imply a ROI of 9% in 2024. For end users, XIMOFILM will represent an opportunity to reduce damaged final products due to silicone which would save them up to 15% due to after sales services and wasted devices.

Bio-inspired strategies for the catalytic reduction and valorization of carbon dioxide

The criticality of global warming urges for the advancement of science to reduce carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions in the atmosphere. At the heart of this challenge is the development of sustainable catalysts that can help capture, activate, reduce, and eventually valorize CO₂. This PhD work tried to respond to this call by developing molecular mimics inspired by natural systems in the larger scheme of artificial photosynthesis. Firstly, it involved tracking the journey of a photon of visible light and how it is transformed to a reducing power able to reduce CO₂. Secondly, in search for more efficient and stable catalysts, new mimics were synthesized inspired by the exceptional performance of CO dehydrogenase enzymes (CODH) in reducing CO₂. Lastly, further understanding of CODH also led to a proof-of-concept that directly valorizes the photo-produced CO for the synthesis of isotopically-labelled amide bonds, a common motif in pharmaceutically-relevant drugs.
Assessing the impact of mining on deforestation in India

Abstract We explore the role of mining in contributing to deforestation across 300 plus districts in India. Using a unique dataset, covering the period 2001–2014, the impact of mining related deforestation is delineated from those driven by various socio-economic, demographic and climatic factors. The roles of several minerals, such as coal, iron, bauxite, dolomite, limestone, manganese, quartz, fireclay and granite are explicitly tested using econometric analysis. Findings indicate that, on average, a district that did not produce any of the minerals considered in the study had suffered about 350 km2 lower forest area loss compared to a mineral producing district. Districts that produced coal, iron or limestone, saw on average 450 km2 higher forest cover loss compared to those that did not produce the same minerals. Iron ore production was positively associated with barren land area across districts, whereas forest cover loss was higher in districts that produced higher amounts of limestone or granite. Overall, mining has evidently contributed to deforestation at a district level, and within the mineral groups considered in this study, coal, iron and limestone have had the most adverse impact on forest area loss. However, minerals such as fireclay, manganese, dolomite, and quartz are being produced in districts that have seen either a lower deforestation rate or an improvement in forest area over the study period. Among the non-mining related drivers of deforestation, higher share of cropping area in a district's geographical area significantly contributed to deforestation.
Management and information centres in the protected territory of the Eastern Alpine Arc - Friuli Dolomites.

The project, closely connected with the similar one coded AAFVG111027, is part of a wider programme to safeguard and promote three protected areas with similar territories, in terms of orography, geology and naturalistic features: these are the Friuli Dolomites Park, Julian Prealps, and the Slovenian National Park of Triglav, which belong to the Alpine Network of Protected Areas and were included in the perimeter set up by the Convention for the Safeguard of the Alps. The project concerns the organisation and set-up of the structures of the Park’s operational office hosted in the former elementary school of Cimolais, i.e. a Management Centre facility with suitable management and administrative facilities, as well as the creation of a Visitors’ Centre connected to the network of the other Parks that are partners in the project, with dedicated facilities used as information bureau and public relations office, a conference room, thematic exhibitions and equipment to illustrate the Park. The Centre will be equipped with interactive systems to offer a computerised fruition of the environment, so as to allow children, the elderly and the disabled to set out on their study and research journey. The former “Mugolio” in Cimolais hosts a scientific research laboratory and a guest house to offer lodging to the students engaged in the study of the territory, in order to perform educational and training activities in the field aimed at the promotion and dissemination of information on the Park. The project also consists in a scientific research on the presence of the ibex, within the three protected areas under examination. By means of the actions listed above and the implementation of a number of joint promotional activities, the project aims at ensuring a common approach to territorial management as well as contributing to revitalising the tourist economy, thus pursuing the objective of establishing a Network of the Parks in the Eastern Alpine Arc - within the wider Alpine Network of Protected Areas, that brings together all the Parks of the Alpine Arc.
