Morphogenesis of photo-mechanized molecular materials

The sophistication reached by organic chemistry has enabled the design and synthesis of a wide range of dynamic molecules that display controlled shape changes with an ever-increasing refinement. However, amplifying these molecular-scale dynamics to support shape-transformation in a broad range of macroscopic functions remains a key challenge.

To address this challenge, I draw inspiration from living materials where molecular machines maintain out of equilibrium states by ingenious coupling with their anisotropic supramolecular environment, and ultimately promote the appearance of emergent properties on higher levels of organization.

The aim of Morpheus is to develop shape-shifting materials and shape-generating photochemical systems by amplifying the motion of molecular machines over increasing length scales, towards the emergence of cohesive shape transformation in artificial tissue-like materials. 

We will (i) develop motorized materials by coupling light-driven molecular motors to liquid crystals and pre-program photoreaction-diffusion processes to achieve continuous motion; (ii) combine microfluidics with the anisotropic response of liquid crystal elastomers to create a library of shape-shifting bubbles and shells that undergo pre-programmed shape modification under irradiation with light; (iii) promote adhesion between units of mechanized matter, while preserving their original shape-shifting and shape-generating properties; and (iv) assemble tissue-like morphing materials from large cohesive networks of shape-shifting micro-spheres.

This project will lay the scientific foundation for a new and multidisciplinary approach towards shape-generating molecular materials. It will yield unprecedented examples of emergent dynamics, provide simple models to untangle the underpinnings of mechanical transduction in nature, and contribute to  developing new paradigms for the design of active matter.
Welfare analysis of changing food prices: a nonparametric examination of rice policies in India

The paper examines the welfare impact of the Indian government’s rice price policies in the light of the global food crisis of 2007–08 using a nonparametric approach for regression and density estimation. In particular, the impact of a ban on export of rice and increased farm gate price support for farmers, implemented to keep domestic consumer prices lower and producer prices higher than they would otherwise have been, was analysed. The net impact of the export ban was positive, as it was able to cushion the Indian population (84 % of whom are net consumers of rice) from the adverse effects of the crisis. However, the extent of welfare varied among different household types, as the poor in India are heterogeneous in nature. Thus agriculture-price policies do not have a homogenous effect on the poor in India. The majority of rice-producing farmers are relatively poor but benefitted from the increase in farm gate prices. Poor households that did not cultivate rice were the worst affected in the food crisis, as their budget share of rice is higher than that of rich households.
Consensus International sur le dépistage, le diagnostic et le traitement des patients avec troubles de l’usage de substances en cas de comorbidité avec un trouble du déficit de l’attention avec ou sans hyperactivité

Le trouble du déficit de l’attention avec ou sans hyperactivité (TDAH) de l’adulte est souvent associé aux troubles de l’usage de substances (TUS), qui ont alors un début précoce et un développement plus sévère, avec une efficacité moindre du traitement. Il n’existe pas de recommandation en langue française sur le repérage, le diagnostic et la prise en charge de ces situations de comorbidité. Nous avons utilisé la méthode de Delphi modifiée et la revue de la littérature pour aboutir à une déclaration de consensus concernant le dépistage, le diagnostic et le traitement du TDAH chez les sujets souffrant de TUS. Les outils de dépistage du TDAH sont utiles chez les adultes souffrant de TUS. Ils devraient être utilisés en routine en cas de TUS, mais être suivis d’une confirmation diagnostique du TDAH le plus rapidement possible. Un traitement simultané et intégré du TDAH et des TUS combinant psychothérapie et pharmacothérapie, est recommandé, incluant le méthylphénidate et les amphétamines dans leurs formes à libération prolongée, ainsi que l’atomoxétine. Des doses élevées peuvent être envisagées chez les patients ne répondant pas à la posologie usuelle. des outils diagnostiques et thérapeutiques sont disponibles pour la prise en charge du TDAH en contexte de TUS. Les traitements pharmacologiques sont en cours d’autorisation finale en France. Chez les sujets souffrant de TDAH, des comorbidités psychiatriques et non-psychiatriques autres que le TUS sont très fréquentes, mais ne doivent pas retarder la prise en charge multimodale. Attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity (ADHD) in adults is often associated with substance use disorders (SUD), which have an early onset and more severe development, with less effective treatment. There are no recommendations in French on the identification, diagnosis and management of these comorbid situations. We used the modified Delphi method and literature review to arrive at a consensus statement regarding the screening, diagnosis and treatment of ADHD in subjects with SUD. ADHD screening tools are useful in adults with SUD. They should be used routinely for SUD, but followed by diagnostic confirmation of ADHD as soon as possible. Simultaneous and integrated treatment of ADHD and SUD, combining psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy, is recommended, including methylphenidate and amphetamines in their extended-release forms, as well as atomoxetine. High doses may be considered for patients who do not respond to standard dosing. Diagnostic and therapeutic tools are available for the management of ADHD in the context of SUD. Pharmacological treatments are in the process of final approval in France. In subjects with ADHD, psychiatric and non-psychiatric comorbidities other than SUD are common, but should not delay multimodal management.
Conservative care with or without manipulative therapy in the management of back and neck pain in Danish children aged 9–15. Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Complaints in the musculoskeletal system often start early in life and back and neck pain in children are well-established predictors for similar problems in adulthood. Despite lack of evidence of effectiveness, manipulative therapy is one of the most commonly used treatment modalities for back and neck pain in children. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of manipulative therapy when added to an approach consisting of manual soft tissue treatment, exercises and advice as needed, in children aged 9-15 complaining of back and neck pain.The project is nested in the Childhood Health, Activity and Motor Performance School Study, which includes around 1200 children aged 9-15, who were all invited to participate in this randomized controlled trial in case they experienced back and/or neck pain during the two year inclusion period. Parents received text messages (SMS) on a weekly basis inquiring about the child's musculoskeletal pain. If pain was reported, the child was evaluated for inclusion into the trial and, if eligible, randomized into one of two intervention groups:Pragmatic advice, manual soft tissue treatment and exercisesThe above plus manipulative therapy By the end of data collection 237 children were included in the study. The primary outcome measure is number of recurrences of back and neck pain during the follow-up period (3-27 months). Secondary outcome measures are average duration of complaint time for each episode, total duration of complaint time, global perceived effect after two weeks, and change in pain intensity after 2 weeks. Baseline information includes quality of life, expectations to treatment, expectations to future course, age, gender, social class and physical education at school.For most common non-traumatic musculoskeletal complaints no standardized and evidence based treatment strategy exists. We want to evaluate the effectiveness of manipulative therapy in addition to an approach consisting of manual soft tissue treatment, exercises and advice as needed, in children aged 9-15 complaining of back and neck pain. To our knowledge this is the first large scale randomized controlled trial investigating the effectiveness of commonly used treatments for back and neck pain in children.ClinicalTrials NCT01504698.

Panda guide

Visual impairment entails various risks making people experiencing difficulties leaving the security of their homes which results in vicious circles. Sight loss is linked to increased risk of depression, reduced quality of life, declining physical health, decreased mobility, higher rates of poverty than in the general population. Visually impaired people face various challenges in their daily lives ranging from navigation outside well-known environments, engaging relationships, practicing a profession or even accessing modern technology mainly based on touchscreens.

ESTHESIX was officially founded in 02/2017 by a complementary team experienced in entrepreneurship, AI and electronical engineering. We believe everyone deserves to see and therefore we are developing a ground-breaking wearable technology called “PANDA Guide” which will allow all visually impaired (partially sighted people + blind people) to navigate, to socialize and to engage in all daily life activities.

PANDA will disrupt the market by offering a multifunctional device that not only provides navigation guidance, but help to learn, earn a living, socialize and have fun. PANDA is multifunctional headset to be placed around the neck with a discreet earpiece. The camera captures the surrounding environment in full 3D and images are converted into intuitive sounds (abstract sounds and semantic speech) transmitted via bone conduction. Our headset has already been validated by over 200 visually impaired people. PANDA is a medical device fully open to the development of third-party software which will have the opportunity to imagine various new uses for our headset.

SME Instrument will allow to rise up expectations to have visually impaired people live better, think wider and achieve further. PANDA will provide evidences that visually impaired people can have outstanding jobs and achieve critical missions by carrying out a stunning blow: launching the first Panda-assisted blind astronaut to Space by 2024!
Preliminary evidence for signature and copied whistles among spinner dolphins in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean: Beacon purpose?

In order to evaluate strategies of cohesion in a fission-fusion society, the occurrence of signature and copied whistles were investigated in free-ranging spinner dolphins, Stenella longirostris. Through an one-element hydrophone array towed over the Brazilian continental shelf break, a group of approximate 400 dolphins were recorded at 96 kHz/24 bits while navigating. The preliminary results demonstrated 218 similar signals that fit into previous definitions of signature or copied whistles. These whistles were produced in bouts with an inter-whistle interval of 0.066—11.56 s (mean ± SD: 2.66 ± 2.72) that varied from 2 to 32 repetitions comprising six different contour shapes. Thus, these data support previous hypothesis that these signals are important units in the dolphin’s repertoire. It may also suggests a potential use on individual direction and localization, where repeated contours could be acting as a beacon to direct and locate the animals within the group. Additional research to ascertain the natural function of these vocalizations may clarify the basis for acoustic badges of membership and group organization of this cosmopolitan species.

Venomics of prey-specialised spiders in the evolutionary and ecological context

Venoms of a wide range of animals are currently under scrutiny in the search for toxins that can be utilized as new bioactive compounds with potential medical and industrial applications. Venomous predators produce complex mixtures of bioactive components in their venoms, making them ideal candidates for a thorough investigation. Predatory toxins are usually very effective against certain prey as the result of evolutionary arms races. Many venomous animals are still understudied, including spiders, one of the most diversified groups of venomous predators. Prey-specialised spiders are particularly intriguing in this respect, as they preferentially feed on one prey type only, often represented by dangerous prey, such as ants, termites or other spiders. The current evidence suggests they immobilise prey with a potent venom. The aim of this project is to explore the venomic adaptations of those spiders from organismal to a molecular level, employing diverse methods that include behavioural experiments, venom potency bioassays, and proteo-transcriptomics. I will elucidate the venom composition of selected prey-specialised species and identify toxins with high selective efficiency. I want to analyse whether 1) prey-specialised spiders rely on their effective venoms to subdue their focal prey; 2) venoms of the specialised spiders are more efficient towards focal than to alternative prey; and 3) venom specificity is due to the presence of prey-specific highly potent venom compounds. Information on the venom properties will be put into ecological context to shed more light on the evolution of venomic adaptations in specialised predators. Furthermore, toxins of prey-specialised predators may be potentially useful as novel active ingredients of bio-pesticides due to their high specificity. My project will help to understand the mechanisms by which specialised venoms work, and could help in the development of environmentally safe bio-pesticides specifically targeting pests.
Affective work-related daily events, and changing characteristics of the work context: new challenges for management practices to deliver employees’ well-being and workplace performance

Affective experiences resulting from specific work-events are present everywhere in daily work. Its importance has been
highlighted for both managers and researchers. However, research into the understanding of how contextual factors, such
as job characteristics or management practices, influence work-related daily events, which in turn, affect individual
performance and well-being has been narrow, incomplete, and problematic. This project aims to explore the relationships
between new characteristics of the work context, daily events at work, performance management practices and other
outcomes in a longitudinal approach. Accordingly, this project focuses on: (a) the work characteristics associated to workrelated daily events, over time; (b) the relationship between daily events and performance and health, over time; d) the
influence of high performance management practices on those relationships. By addressing the relationship between
contextual factors with work-related daily events at work over time, this project makes important contributions to theory
development within the field. The findings may help managers to understand how daily events influences employees’
performance and well-being. Moreover, it will help to produce practical instruments and to develop strategies to deal with
daily events that may improve productivity and quality of life at work.
A feasibility study on the development of psorax35 as the first and only oral treatment for mild-to-moderate psoriasis with positive effects on co-morbidities.

The objective of the main project is to commercialize Psorax35 – the first oral medicine for mild to moderate psoriasis with positive effect on comorbidities. Current psoriasis medicines have limited efficacy, serious side effects and waning effect over time. According to WHO there is a global need for new safe, tolerable, effective and convenient psoriasis medicines that can be given without close monitoring by health personnel. Developing and documenting Psorax35 as an efficacious treatment of mild and moderate psoriasis will lay the foundation for further investigations in severe psoriasis. Comorbidities like cardiovascular disease and arthritis will most probably be positively affected by Psorax35 and add to the value of the product. If Psorax35 is shown to be effective, psoriasis patients will experience better quality of life, and society will benefit from reduced direct medical expenses and increased working capability of many patients today suffering from psoriasis. It will also enable Arctic Nutrition AS to create a growing business and have the ability to further expand and create new jobs.

The objective of the PsoraxPlan feasibility study is to deliver a comprehensive feasibility analysis of the development of Psorax35 as a medicinal product for the global market to treat mild-to-moderate psoriasis. The feasibility analysis will include a thorough assessment of technical, regulatory, market access, and financing feasibility including a risk analysis and risk mitigation plan. Of particular importance are the specific feasibility analyses on aspects related to regulatory affairs (systematic review of the literature for omega-3 in the treatment of psoriasis; initial outlining of the clinical development plan; and outline for scientific advice meetings with regulatory authorities), clinical development (protocol outlines, budgets and site feasibility), strategic innovation funding (grant screening) as well as further screening of potential marketing partners
Microbunched Electron Cooling for High-Energy Hadron Beams

Electron and stochastic cooling are proven methods for cooling low-energy hadron beams, but at present there is no way of cooling hadrons as they near the TeV scale. In the 1980s, Derbenev suggested that electron instabilities, such as free-electron lasers, could create collective space charge fields strong enough to correct the hadron energies. This Letter presents a variation on Derbenev's electron cooling scheme using the microbunching instability as the amplifier. The large bandwidth of the instability allows for faster cooling of high-density beams. A simple analytical model illustrates the cooling mechanism, and simulations show cooling rates for realistic parameters of the Large Hadron Collider.
