Recap preterm: research on european children and adults born preterm

The project’s overall aim is to improve the health, development and quality of life of children and adults born very preterm (VPT, < 32 weeks of gestation) or very low birth weight (VLBW, < 1500g) – approximately 50 000 births each year in Europe – by establishing an ICT platform to integrate, harmonise and exploit the wealth of data from 20 European cohorts of VPT/VLBW children and adults and their families constituted from the early 1980s to the present, together with data from national registries. 
VPT/VLBW births have higher risks of cerebral palsy, visual and auditory deficits, impaired cognitive ability, psychiatric disorders and social problems than infants born at term and account for more than a third of the health and educational budgets for children. They may also face higher risks of non-communicable disease as they age. There is emerging evidence of reduced mental health, quality of life, partnering, family life and employment chances and wealth in adulthood.
The platform will enable stratified sub-group analyses of sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, neonatal complications, and otherwise rare medical conditions that cannot be studied in national population cohorts. The broad temporal, geographic, cultural and health system diversity makes it possible to study the impact of socioeconomic and organisational contexts and determine the generalisability of outcomes for VPT/VLBW populations. 
The RECAP platform creates a value chain to promote research and innovation using population cohorts, beginning with the integration of VPT/VLBW cohorts to the translation and dissemination of new knowledge. It will be based on a sustainable governance framework, state-of-the art data management and sharing technologies, tools to strengthen research capacity, a hypothesis-driven research agenda and broad stakeholder participation, including researchers, clinicians, educators, policy makers and very preterm children and adults and their families.
BUCKET

Bucket (1) intended to be carried by means of an arm or the like for manoeuvring and comprising a bottom and back part and opposing side parts (4), which parts together from a load space (5) with an opening (6) having an edge part (8) connected to the bottom and edge part and running sideways in the bucket. The bucket is especially characterized in, that said bottom and back part (3) comprises an internal sorting part (9) through, which among other things liquid and comparatively finely dispersed goods, e.g. sand and earth, may pass, as well as an external sealing part (10), which is swingable towards and from the sorting part between a first position, in which the sorting part is substantially exposed, and a second position, in which the sealing part substantially connects to the sorting part.
Lessons and Evaluation of a Headway Control Experiment in Washington, D.C.

Headway management can potentially reduce passenger waiting time and on-board crowding on high-frequency services. In this study, a headway control experiment was conducted and evaluated for Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Agency routes 70 and 79 in Washington, D.C. The field experiment is evaluated by performing a before–after empirical evaluation. The organizational process and challenges involved with the implementation are discussed. Overall, a reduction of 26% in passenger excess waiting time was attained, which implies annual time savings that translate into US$1 million. Even though the field experiment implementation was far from ideal, the benefits obtained so far might pave the road to a long-term commitment to shift into a fully controlled headway-based management.
Zeolithmembrankomplex, Trenneinrichtung, Trennverfahren und Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Zeolithmembrankomplexes

Ein Zeolithmembrankomplex (1) enthält einen porösen Träger (11) und eine Zeolithmembran (12), die auf dem Träger (11) gebildet ist und aus einem 8-gliedrigen Ringzeolith besteht. Die Zeolithmembran (12) ist für ein Gas, das Stickstoff und Schwefelwasserstoff enthält, selektiv eher für Schwefelwasserstoff als für Stickstoff durchlässig. Es ist daher möglich, einen Zeolithmembrankomplex (1) bereitzustellen, der für Schwefelwasserstoff stabil durchlässig ist.
Cerebellar circuits for locomotor learning in space and time

Every movement we make requires us to coordinate our actions precisely in space and time. This proposal aims to understand how that remarkable coordination is achieved by neural circuits controlling movement. The cerebellum plays a critical role in keeping movements calibrated and coordinated, and it is thought to do this in part through a motor learning process in which predictable perturbations of movement are gradually compensated. Cerebellum-dependent forms of motor learning have been identified for a variety of behaviors, including locomotion, and locomotor learning is used as a rehabilitative therapy in human patients. We recently established locomotor learning in mice, using a custom-built, transparent split-belt treadmill that controls the speeds of the two sides of the body independently and allows for high-resolution behavioral readouts. Here, we will combine quantitative analysis of locomotor behavior with genetic circuit dissection to answer two fundamental questions: How are cerebellar outputs read out by downstream circuits, to calibrate spatial and temporal components of movement? and How are instructive signals for spatial and temporal learning encoded by cerebellar inputs? Specifically, we will: 1) Use circuit tracing combined with manipulation of specific cerebellar outputs to identify downstream pathways for spatial and temporal locomotor learning, 2) Investigate the role of error signals for cerebellar learning via optogenetic perturbation of climbing fiber inputs to the cerebellum, and 3) Image complex spike activity from populations of Purkinje cells during locomotion and learning, to ask how spatial and temporal error signals are encoded within the cerebellum. These studies will allow us to bridge levels of analysis to understand how cerebellar learning mechanisms convert behaviorally-relevant sensorimotor error signals into calibration signals that ensure accurate and coordinated movements in space and time for a wide range of behaviors.
Hydro-mechanical device for underground drilling

A hydro-mechanical device for underground drilling for use with a drilling rig comprises a container having a combustion chamber, an ignition system, inlets for introducing a fuel, an oxidizer, a liquid into the combustion chamber, a nozzle for discharging combustion products, a piston slidably mounted in the container and a reamer connected to the piston. The ignition system provides electro-discharges in the fuel, oxidizer, liquid mixture. Each electro-discharge has an explosive nature and produces combustion products having a high pressure. Combustion products are ejected through the circular nozzle surrounding the container to provide a thermal drilling action. The movable piston is pushed downwardly by the products of electro-discharge and causes the reamer to penetrate rocks or a frozen ground to provide a percussion drilling action. By the use of combined effect of thermo-percussion drilling, holes of significant depth can be drilled and rocks or frozen ground of high hardness can be pierced. The present invention is adapted for underground and undersea drilling.
New market: an exploration into the changing nature of business environments, informal barriers and emerging markets in the post-soviet region

The past ten years have seen several changes in post-USSR business environments. From Kazakhstan to Belarus, and eventually Uzbekistan in 2016, a growing number of post-USSR republics have gradually begun economic reforms to allow foreign businesses to operate in their territory. These declared intentions, however, are sometimes contrasted by non-official, or informal, barriers into domestic and regional markets. Indeed, from rampant corruption to the necessity to get protection from local oligarchs, entering post-Soviet markets involves several risks. New Markets addresses the current limited existence of clear instructions that could enable new, and existing economic actors to gain an overview into the hidden risks associated with business activities in the post-Soviet region. Our research follows a three stage approach:

First, we will conduct a review of policy measures adopted in the past 10 years (2008-2018) to liberalize the markets in our target countries. Our analysis will compare three countries that have fully opened to foreign investors already in the early 2000 – Estonia, Georgia and Kyrgyzstan - with three countries that have only recently shown a more cooperative attitude - Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan. We will survey the major mechanisms, and policies, adopted in these six countries to evaluate how they have ended up affecting the business environment.
Second, we will conduct an empirical evaluation of the measures adopted for improving the business climate in the target countries. This will be done through a national survey of core business actors in each country
Third, building upon results of the second stage, we will map challenges and opportunities in the region comparing macro and micro perspectives and testing government-led decisions against their results.
The Digital Divide in Internet-Based Patient Education Materials

The ubiquity of the Internet has led to the widespread availability of health-related information to the public, and the subsequent empowerment of patients has fundamentally altered the patient-physician relationship. Among several concerns of physicians is the possibility that patients may be misinformed by information obtained from the Internet. One opportunity for health care providers to address this problem exists within Internet-based patient education materials (IPEMs). According to recent research in Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, IPEMs found within professional otolaryngology websites are written at the 8th- to 18th-grade reading comprehension level, essentially unchanged over the past 3 years. This greatly exceeds the fourth- to sixth-grade reading level recommended by the National Institutes of Health. Benefits, strategies, and challenges to improving the readability of IPEMs are discussed.
A Geospatial and Geo-historical Library for a Space–Time Analysis of Catu Territory

Les cartes anciennes peuvent servir de documents sources pour décrire et décoder l’espace géographique, dans la mesure où elles comportent des éléments utiles pour comprendre la formation et l’évolution d’un territoire. L’objectif principal de cette étude était de produire une visualisation spatiale du territoire de Catu compatible avec un environnement computationnel en relevant les éléments cartographiés (données géospatiales, géohistoriques et toponymiques) dans la Planta Topographica de la paroisse et municipalité de Santa Anna do Catu, dans la région d’Alagoinhas, au Brésil. Ce « plan topographique », daté de 1888, est le principal document sur lequel s’appuie notre recherche. Les éléments illustrés sur cette carte d’époque ont été comparés aux données géographiques de la cartographie officielle du Brésil. La comparaison de cartes provenant de périodes différentes s’avère être une méthode très utile pour étudier la dynamique territoriale. Mais pour ce faire, afin de reconstruire et de corriger les erreurs dans la représentation cartographique des éléments à analyser, il faut d’abord créer des entrepôts de données en formats matriciel et vectoriel. Le géoréférencement de la Planta a été réalisé au moyen d’un logiciel SIG, dans le but de conserver, aussi rigoureusement que possible, la forme des caractéristiques géographiques illustrées. La toponymie employée sur ce document est relativement dense. Elle révèle une forte présence des cultures portugaise et autochtone qui caractérisent, encore aujourd’hui, l’identité du territoire de Catu.
Expand - enhancing co-creation in jpi urban europe through widening member state and stakeholder participation

EXPAND intends to support the implementation of the JPI Urban Europe Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) by (1) supporting JPI Urban Europe’s widening activities towards new countries, stakeholders and partners; and (2)  focusing on the development and piloting of new instruments, framework conditions and methods for transnational and transdisciplinary cooperation. 

Since urban transformations to sustainable and liveable futures depends on a broad commitment and co-creation among a diverse set of actors, the identified challenge to be tackled by EXPAND is widening the community. Specifically in terms of member countries. But also in terms of stakeholder involvement in core activities. Furthermore, the challenge is also to be tackled by the development and implementation of new instruments and framework conditions that support such a co-creation and alignment of European, national and local research and innovation actions. 

As the basic concept for widening participation, a Stakeholder Involvement Platform (SIP) will be developed that anticipates the needs of different stakeholder groups and regions to facilitate the strategic dialogue between all stakeholder groups and implement the SRIA. 

The SIP relates to new approaches in programme management, alignment of national programmes, strategies and policies as well as new instruments for research funding and new formats for dissemination and exploitation of research results. 

Strategic relationships will be developed with national, European and international organisations and special attention will be given to reach out and mobilise actors in Widening countries. Two JPI Urban Europe Conferences will be organised to position JPI Urban Europe in the wider European Research and Innovation community and a self-monitoring system will be developed and tested to allow a consistent monitoring of JPI Urban Europe activities.
Accuracy of information on medication use and adverse drug reactions recorded in pregnancy hand-held records

Pregnancy hand-held records (PHR) are a personally controlled health record utilised in the promotion of continuity of care across pregnancy by providing a single resource for the recording of pregnancy-related health information.To determine the accuracy of the PHR in relation to information on medications and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and to examine the frequency and nature of any identified discrepancies.A 12-week prospective clinical audit of 300 women admitted to either the antenatal or postnatal ward at a tertiary-level maternity hospital. A detailed medication history was completed for each woman by a pharmacist, with women interviewed about medication use prior to and during their pregnancy as well as any ADRs. The medication history and PHR were compared to identify discrepancies.Medication discrepancies were extremely common, with 254 (84.7%; 95% CI 80.6-88.8%) women having at least one or more medication-related discrepancy involving 686 (55%; 95% CI 52.2-57.8%) prescription and nonprescription medications. Most common reasons for prescription medication discrepancies included the medication details being incomplete (44%), missing (29%) or incorrect (17%). ADRs and allergy discrepancies were also common, identified among 59 (20%; 95% CI 15.5-24.5%) women.The PHR is of low accuracy in relation to the recording of medications and ADRs. This warrants further research to examine the impact of these discrepancies on patient care and outcomes. The identification of strategies for improving the recording of information on medications and ADRs in the PHR is also required.
Authentication Protocol of RFID System Based on Security Policy

In this paper, we analyzed security and privacy problems of the current low-cost RFID system, and proposed a new RFID authentication protocol based on security policy. This protocol used these methods like setting tag information permissions according to fields and assigning tags with different privacy levels to prevent the authorized tag`s unauthorized information leakage and protected the user's privacy more effectively. Selective one-way/two-way authentication and interested in information transfer mechanism, which can reduce the communication capacity in the whole process of protocol significantly, enable the certification process more flexible, more specific privacy protection, At the same time, tag can reduce the tag hardware requirements by using XOR operation measures which. The security and energy consumption analysis in this paper proved that this protocol can not only protect the authorized tag`s unauthorized information security more flexible, but also reduce the system hardware requirements and communication volume. Compared with the traditional security authentication protocols, this new protocol is more suitable for low-cost RFID system.

Sports equipment in an alpine environment

Mountaineering is crucial for tourism in the Alpine region and represents a significant economic factor. The security risks that are associated with the exercise of these sports can be significantly influenced by specific protective equipment. To minimize the risk of injury while increasing the comfort of mountaineers, the present project sets itself 3 goals:_x000D_
_x000D_
1) The development of a textile fiber for use in climbing ropes, which changes its color as a function of the exposure to UV radiation and the consequent aging of the material. The color of these fibers indicates when the rope should be replaced for safety reasons. _x000D_
_x000D_
2) The study of friction of textiles on snow and ice, with the aim to develop a tissue that helps reduce the speed and, thus, the risk of injury in the case of falls (e.g. in alpine skiing). _x000D_
_x000D_
3) To increase the wearing comfort of mountaineering clothing by developing and researching innovative textile materials that exhibit favorable thermoregulatory properties, while ensuring protection against environmental influences and without limiting the required mobility for the exercise of these sports. To realize these objectives a transnational consortium with unique expertise in biomechanics, performance physiology, textile science and industrial engineering will be established.
Formation of black carbon-like and alicyclic aliphatic compounds by hydroxyl radical initiated degradation of lignin

Abstract Exposure of lignin-derived organic matter (OM) to hydroxyl radicals originating from Fenton type reactions generates condensed aromatic and alicyclic aliphatic compounds, as shown using ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry. Although condensed aromatic compounds are common in soil and dissolved OM, their presence has been attributed largely to combustion. A non-pyrogenic route for the formation of condensed aromatic compounds from lignin is suggested here, specifically that hydroxyl radical-initiated oxidation of lignin is capable of producing black carbon-like condensed aromatic compounds. Alicyclic aliphatic compounds are also produced, likely as part of a concerted process involving ring opening, polymerization and/or cyclization and hydrogen abstraction. Hydroxyl radicals associated with lignin degradation are produced through photochemistry in aqueous systems and enzymatic microbial processes in soil.

Grain Cadmium and Zinc Concentrations in Maize Influenced by Genotypic Variations and Zinc Fertilization

Zinc (Zn) fertilization could be a viable approach for minimizing cadmium (Cd) accumulation in the food chain. The present study was carried out to investigate the role of various Zn fertilization treatments (control, foliar application at tasseling stage, foliar application at milky stage, rubber ash application, soil application of ZnSO4) and cultivars (Pop 2004B, Pop 2006, Azam, Sarhad (W), Pahari) on grain yield, grain Zn, and grain Cd concentrations in maize. All Zn fertilization treatments resulted in a significantly higher grain yield, higher grain Zn concentration, and reduced grain Cd concentration. The application of rubber ash remained the best among all Zn fertilization treatments as it resulted in a higher grain yield of 62% and a reduced grain Cd concentration by 57% compared to control. Contradictions were apparent between cultivars, and the cultivars which recorded a higher grain yield had a lower Zn concentration in their grains and vice versa. Regarding Cd accumulation, all cultivars except Azam, retained less Cd with increased grain Zn concentration. Future studies should focus on breeding/selection of high yielding and high quality cultivars. Furthermore, the feasibility of rubber ash maybe tested under different climatic and edaphic conditions against other heavy metals and other crops as well.
Social hair pulling in captive rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)

Alopecia is common among captive populations of nonhuman primates. There are many potential causes of alopecia, including physiological conditions such as hormonal imbalance and infection, features of the captive environment such as housing type, ground substrate, and group density, as well as behavioral abnormalities such as self-plucking. A potential behavioral cause of alopecia in group-housed primates is social hair pulling, where one animal pulls hair from a conspecific. While social hair pulling has been conflated with overgrooming in some of the alopecia literature, other authors have categorized it as a form of aggression rather than a form of excessive grooming. In this study, we examined social hair pulling, grooming, and aggression within seven groups of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) (N = 319). We took weekly 30-min behavioral observations on each group for one year to assess the patterns of hair pulling and grooming, which monkeys were receiving and initiating these behaviors, as well as aggression and other behaviors indicating dominance. We also assessed the amount of alopecia on each individual monthly. While grooming tended to be directed "up" the hierarchy (i.e., monkeys were more likely to groom animals of a higher rank than lower rank), most hair pulling was directed "down" the hierarchy. Further, hair pulling seldom co-occurred with aggressive behaviors, suggesting that it was not a form of aggression. Hair pulling also usually resulted in ingestion of the pulled hair. Hair pulling was correlated with alopecia; monkeys who were frequent recipients of hair pulling scored higher on monthly alopecia ratings than those who were less often observed having hair pulled. Our results suggest that social hair pulling is a behavior distinct from either grooming or aggressive behavior, and that it may contribute to alopecia in socially housed macaques.
