Acceleration for Mediterranean Companies

ACCELMED project is designed to capitalize MED-KED and MACC-BAM results, and improve SMEs' access to financing, support their internationalisation and help them to accelerate their growth through: - Organisation of 7 Transnational investment fora. These fora will capitalise the results of MED-KED and MACC-Bam projects as starting point. Three will be held in Barcelona, 1 in Marseille, 1 in Ljubljana, 1 in Bologna and 1 in Athens. This action will require defining a common transnational methodology and protocol, studying Med venture capital, selecting SMEs and investors, creating a platform for on-line exchange and feedback among them, and organisation of the forums. - Developing an ecosystem favourable to SMEs' internationalisation, with softlanding agreements . This ecosystem will capitalise the results and outputs from MED-KED and 2inS as starting point. A package of soft-landing services to facilitate SMEs access to Mediterranean markets will be elaborated together with a MOU template for future cross-landing agreements. This definition will be done by means of 3 workshops, 1 hosted by ANIMA, 1 by TP Lj and 1 by PROMOS. - Definition and deployment of an acceleration programme for SMEs with high growth potential to support them in defining the strategy, access funding and internationalise. ACCELMED will offer them a package of individual actions, a global plan of promotion and training. This action includes defining criteria for startup selection and the main features of the acceleration program path and implement the program, which will have tailor-made actions, training courses and tutorship sessions for the selected SMEs. Common policy recommendations for the EU period 2014-2020 will be drafted from the program results. A kick-off meeting and a closing event together with a communication plan will be held during the project lifetime, in order to promote each one of the 3 core working packages.
Child Labor and Protecting Young Workers Around the World: An Introduction to This Issue

According to the International Labour Organization, more than 218 million children in the world today are involved in child labor, often doing work that is damaging to their mental, physical, and emotional development. At least 126 million children are performing hazardous work. For many decades, children have been recognized as a vulnerable population in need of and deserving special protections, as reflected in international conventions and national laws. This special issue of the International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health presents research on child and adolescent labor around the world, focusing on studies that evaluate health effects from exposures at work; programmatic interventions to reduce work exposures or limit hazardous work activities; and policy mechanisms to reduce the negative health impacts from working too many hours, night hours, or in settings that are too dangerous and inappropriate for youth under age 18. The issue also includes a resource list and photographs of children at work.
Mistisisme Baru: Teilhard De Chardin

Modernism today needs a new approachment in action and faith. Mysticism in the past is not sufficient to fulfil the needs today. The ways how to be faithfull through praying, and leaving the world should be transformed. Teilhard de Chardin, even lived in the 19th century, has had tought beyond his era. Today his idea and the way of his mysticism have a place. He wanted to unify all spiritual experiences in the past with modernism which has desire to know more the knowledges about earth. He tried to bring the science in as an effort to know more God and to love Him.His mysticism uses the daily life as a part of praying and a place to meet God. This study was based on a survey of young children and also consulting assistance to two students for 6 months. The method used is qualitative as well as quantitative. Mysticism associated with the dimensions of spiritual and also the dimension outside the spiritual. Mysticism is the driving force of love. Love unites two persons, namely God that exceeds any and all humans. Love relationship could be established both in spirit and the relationship of human with the world.

SHORT FOOD SUPPLY CHAINS - BENEFITS FOR CONSUMERS AND FOOD PRODUCERS

In the age of globalization of food markets, short supply chains are the reversion to traditional food distribution systems. A large group of consumers is willing to reach for local food, frequently also buyers of organic food delivered directly from food producers. The paper presents the characteristics of short food supply chains, food distribution system is shown by: markets, direct purchases from producers and modern forms of providing consumers with local products. Qualitative study was conducted among organic food markets participants – exhibitors (food producers), and visitors (customers). Consumers notice many benefi ts from buying and consuming local food, among others, higher quality of products, favorable price-quality performance ratio, and assurance of purchased products origin. Producers for the most important fi nd greater share in the total price of products and receiving feedback information from consumers. Short supply chains are also resulting signifi cant environmental benefi ts eg. limited transport. A new approach to the subject of local foods and the benefi ts of shortening the supply chain is refl ected in the policy of the European Union – including through programs on rural development.
Construction of full-diversity 1-level LDPC lattices for block-fading channels

LDPC lattices were the first family of lattices which have an efficient decoding algorithm in high dimensions over an AWGN channel. When we consider Construction D' of lattices with one binary LDPC code as its underlying code, 1-level LDPC lattices are obtained. Block fading channel (BF) is a useful model for various wireless communication channels in both indoor and outdoor environments. In this type of channel, a lattice point is divided into multiple blocks such that fading is constant within a block but changes, independently, across blocks. The design of lattices for BF channels offers a challenging problem, which differs greatly from its counterparts like AWGN channels. In this paper we construct full diversity 1-level LDPC lattices for block fading channels. We propose a new iterative decoding method for these family of lattices which has complexity that grows linearly in the dimension of lattice.
Optimal multinational project adjustment and selection with random parameters

With the globalization of the economy, more and more companies have made and will continue to make project investment abroad. This paper discusses a multinational project adjustment and selection problem in which project parameters are regarded as random variables. Special cash flows and value sources brought from the new foreign projects and the adjustment of the existing foreign projects are introduced. A new risk measurement for budget exceeding is proposed and a new model is developed based on the new risk measurement. In addition, a genetic algorithm is designed for solving the problem and an example is given as an illustration. The results of the example show that the algorithm is effective for solving the proposed problem. In addition, the results show that the budget can be better used and bigger investment return in net present form can be obtained when new foreign project selection and the existing project adjustment are simultaneously considered than when only new projects are selected.
Impact of intra-daily SST variability on ENSO characteristics in a coupled model

This paper explores the impact of intra-daily Sea Surface Temperature (SST) variability on the tropical large-scale climate variability and differentiates it from the response of the system to the forcing of the solar diurnal cycle. Our methodology is based on a set of numerical experiments based on a fully global coupled ocean–atmosphere general circulation in which we alter (1) the frequency at which the atmosphere sees the SST variations and (2) the amplitude of the SST diurnal cycle. Our results highlight the complexity of the scale interactions existing between the intra-daily and inter-annual variability of the tropical climate system. Neglecting the SST intra-daily variability results, in our CGCM, to a systematic decrease of 15% of El Nino—Southern Oscillation (ENSO) amplitude. Furthermore, ENSO frequency and skewness are also significantly modified and are in better agreement with observations when SST intra-daily variability is directly taken into account in the coupling interface of our CGCM. These significant modifications of the SST interannual variability are not associated with any remarkable changes in the mean state or the seasonal variability. They can therefore not be explained by a rectification of the mean state as usually advocated in recent studies focusing on the diurnal cycle and its impact. Furthermore, we demonstrate that SST high frequency coupling is systematically associated with a strengthening of the air-sea feedbacks involved in ENSO physics: SST/sea level pressure (or Bjerknes) feedback, zonal wind/heat content (or Wyrtki) feedback, but also negative surface heat flux feedbacks. In our model, nearly all these results (excepted for SST skewness) are independent of the amplitude of the SST diurnal cycle suggesting that the systematic deterioration of the air-sea coupling by a daily exchange of SST information is cascading toward the major mode of tropical variability, i.e. ENSO.
Global mercury observation and training network in support to the minamata convention

With the signing of the UNEP Minamata Convention in 2013, governments have globally accepted that Hg is global relevance and toxic; scientific needs will therefore shift towards best implementation practices of the Convention. With most Hg emissions emanating from the energy-industrial sector this means that governments have to balance economic and environmental interests. How does one asses that balance? Biogeochemical Hg cycling is complex: superimposed on the strongly perturbed inorganic Hg cycle is the natural process of biomethylation that generates the bioaccumulating monomethyl-Hg form that we are all exposed to when we consume fish. Today, comprehensive multimedia models of the biogeochemical Hg cycle are being developed and capture this complexity to try and evaluate the effectiveness of environmental policy scenarios. For the models to work however, they must include realistic descriptions of fundamental Hg transformations and fluxes across Earth’s surface environments. Despite decades of Hg science, we still lack answers to some of the most basic questions on those fundamental Hg transformations and fluxes. The objectives of the GMOS-TRAIN network are (1) to provide urgently needed training in mercury science within the context of the UNEP Minamata convention, and (2) to bridge key knowledge gaps on biogeochemical mercury cycling that currently hamper the optimization of national environmental policy regarding mercury emissions. The process of training a pool of 15 Early Stage Researchers represents an excellent capacity building needed for the implementation of the Minamata Convention. Being trained in highly relevant research topic will enhance researchers career prospective and employability. Moreover, complimentary training in dissemination using Open science principles, communication, exploitation and outreach will enforce the transfer of science results to effective policy making.
The first off-grid water desalination system 100% powered by renewable energies

Water scarcity is probably one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century. According to the United Nations, it affects more than 40 percent of the global population, and by 2050 more than 5 bn people could suffer water shortages. Europe is not an exemption, as one third of European countries have relatively low availability of water. In Mediterranean area there is both a severe lack and great demand for water. However, climate change and growing water demand is projected to increase water shortages in other EU regions. 
The ocean is seen as a promising source for providing drinking water to the more than 40% of EU population living in coastal areas. However, traditional technologies for water desalination are highly energy demanding and the capital and operation costs are not affordable for small to medium-sized applications. W2W-Water to Water is a state-of-the-art desalination system that tackles these two challenges. It has been originally conceived to be used with renewable energies (intermittent power) and to provide clean water from seawater or brackish groundwater. It is easily scalable, mobile and rapidly deployable even in remote areas. It is highly versatile, and it adapts to be used in multiple applications such as: drinking water delivery in low-income and developing countries, humanitarian aid and disaster relief operations or to support the water distribution in intense touristic areas during the dry season. 
We are Rainmaker, a Dutch SME focused on developing sustainable and decentralized water purification technologies to produce clean water. We have planned the activities required to build, install and validate the first W2W industrial unit, providing around 80 m3 of clean water daily. The market deployment of W2W will start in 2021 and by 2025, we expect having installed 200 units worldwide. This will make Rainmaker grow up (18 new jobs) and will place Rainmaker at the forefront of sustainable water supply.
The representation of external threats in the configuration of spanish power in the philippines (1600-1800)

Challenging the traditional understanding of colonial rule in the early modern period, this project proposes a new perspective on how colonial systems of dominance operated, offering an innovative view on mechanisms of governance. Applying interdisciplinary methods, it emphasizes political communication as key element in the creation and consolidation of a system of power. Focussing on the colonial Philippines as a transcontinental cultural contact zone, this project investigates the concept of external threats as a fundamental element of political communication. Thereby, it advances simultaneously along two analytic lines, investigating (1) forms of threat representation, and (2) their effects.

Based on the sociological theory that external threats can foster the cohesion of a group, the hypothesis of this project is that specific representations of “enemies” contributed to the success of the Spanish colonial system for a long period (1565-1898), by strengthening the unity within the Spanish system and helping to overcome internal problems. To prove this effect, the project combines aspects of (1) system theory (N. Luhmann) and (2) the method of dispositif analysis (M. Foucault), which until now have only been applied separately. Based on system theory models, a concept of threat-communication is defined as a first analytic step for the investigation. It is completed with the concept of a dispositif of threat, which includes not only discourses in texts, but also visual forms of representation, objects, and performative acts – giving the project a pronounced interdisciplinary feature. 

Overall, the project will contribute to a better understanding of the power structures of the Spanish colonial systems in particular and mechanisms of political communication in general. In addition, it will enhance the skills of the Experienced Researcher (ER), enabling him to become a leading expert in his field and to find an independent position in research.
Selection of the Rotation Direction for a Camphor Disk Resulting from Chiral Asymmetry of a Water Chamber B

Self-motion of a camphor disk rotating inside a water chamber composed of two half-disks was investigated. The half-disks were joined along their diameter segments, and the distance between their midpoints (dₛ) was considered as the control parameter. Various types of camphor disk motions were observed depending on dₛ. When dₛ = 0, the chamber had a circular shape, so it was symmetric. A camphor disk showed either a clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW) rotation with the direction determined by its initial state. The symmetry of the chamber was broken for dₛ > 0. For moderate distances between the midpoints, a unidirectional orbital motion of the disk was observed. The preferred rotation direction was determined by the shape of the chamber, and it did not depend on the initial rotation direction. For yet larger dₛ, the unidirectional circular motion was no longer observed and the trajectory became irregular. A mathematical model coupling the camphor disk motion with the dynamics of the developed camphor molecular layer on water was constructed, and the numerical results were compared with the experimental results. The selection of motion type can be explained by considering the influence of camphor concentration on the disk trajectory through the surface tension gradient.
Bacterial structure of aerobic granules is determined by aeration mode and nitrogen load in the reactor cycle

This study investigated how the microbial composition of biomass and kinetics of nitrogen conversions in aerobic granular reactors treating high-ammonium supernatant depended on nitrogen load and the number of anoxic phases in the cycle. Excellent ammonium removal and predomination of full nitrification was observed in the reactors operated at 1.1 kg TKN m(-3) d(-1) and with anoxic phases in the cycle. In all reactors, Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria predominated, comprising between 90.14% and 98.59% of OTUs. Extracellular polymeric substances-producing bacteria, such as Rhodocyclales, Xanthomonadaceae, Sphingomonadales and Rhizobiales, were identified in biomass from all reactors, though in different proportions. Under constant aeration, bacteria capable of autotrophic nitrification were found in granules, whereas under variable aeration heterotrophic nitrifiers such as Pseudomonas sp. and Paracoccus sp. were identified. Constant aeration promoted more even bacteria distribution among taxa; with 1 anoxic phase, Paracoccus aminophilus predominated (62.73% of OTUs); with 2 phases, Corynebacterium sp. predominated (65.10% of OTUs).

4: To foster new consumer centred business models for circular circular renovation concepts. 
5: To roll out the concept on a wider EU scale by involving EU interest groups.
CONVERTER AND METHOD FOR CONVERTING AN INPUT DATA PACKET STREAM INTO AN OUTPUT DATA SYMBOL STREAM

The invention relates to a converter (CVT) and a conversion method for converting an input data packet stream (IDPS) of consecutive data packets (DP0,0, DP1,0, DP2,0...DPN-1,0) each data packet including user (US0, US1, US2,...USN-1) data in the form of a predetermined number (Nsymbol0; Nsymbol1; NsymbolN-1) of consecutive data symbols (S0,0(0), S0,0(1)...S0,0 (Nsymbol0-1); S1,0(0), S1,0(1)...S1,0(Nsymbol1-1); S2,0(0), S2,0(0),S2,0(1)...S2,0(Nsymbol2-1);...SN-1,0(0), SN-1,0(1)...SN-1,0(NsymbolN-1-1)) from a plurality of N user channels (ch-0,...,ch-N-1), each user channel having a predetermined transmission rate TR0, TR1, TR2, ..., TRn, TRN-1, being defined as a basic transmission rate TRB or an integer multiple TRn=Kn*TRB thereof, into an output data symbol stream (ODSS) in which a respective number Kn of data symbols (S0,0(0); S1,0(0), S1,0(1), S1,0(2), S1,0(3); S2,0(0);...SN-1,0(0), SN-1,0(1), of each data packet are sequentially arranged. The write means (W) writes the data symbols into a memory (M) in the row direction in a specific order and a read means (R) reads the memory (M) in the column direction. Thus, independent of the transmission rate (TRB) of the individual user channels, a CDMA-modulator (MOD) can be provided respectively with the first data symbol or a set of first data symbols from each packet within a predetermined time interval (1/TRB).
