Trauma studies in the digital age: the impact of social media on trauma processing in life narratives and in trauma literature: the case of hungary

The aim of the TRAPRODIG project is to analyse cultural and literary trauma processing in the framework of digital memory studies, particularly in relation to the similarities and differences of collective trauma processing and trauma literature in modern democracies and dictatorships; with a special trans-cultural focus on the case of Hungary as a post-socialist country with unresolved twentieth century collective traumas and on life narratives of Hungarian migrants in Europe, especially in the United Kingdom.
The interdisciplinary scientific goal of the project is to introduce the concept of “digital (cultural and literary) trauma processing” and develop the scientific field of “digital trauma studies” at the intersection of digital memory studies and cultural trauma studies; based on the outcomes of the two way knowledge transfer in the training-through research of the applicant, who is an expert on literary and cultural trauma studies, at the leading research centre of cultural and digital memory studies at the University of Amsterdam.
The TRAPRODIG project is of clear relevance to the Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions programme as it will contribute to a better understanding of the link of current cultural developments to the collective traumas of the past in post-socialist countries; it draws attention to the voices of contemporary migrants within the European cultural framework; and it will also add significantly to the mapping of trauma literature and life narratives in Europe by analysing how the 21st century digital environment influences both personal and collective trauma processing in local, national and trans-national communities within Europe.
Disappearing Byzantine Heritage: The Case of the Medieval Church at Boiana

The Church of Saints Nicholas and Panteleemon in the Sofia suburb of Boiana, one of the best-known medieval monuments in Bulgaria, has been the subject of shifting interpretations reflecting the politics of heritage. The church’s thirteenth-century frescoes have been utilized in the discourse of Bulgarian political elites since the rise of the Bulgarian nation state in the late nineteenth century. This article reviews that discursive history and ties the most recent interpretations of the monument to forces of globalization and to Bulgaria’s recent entry in the supranational European Union. Considering discussions of the relative adherence of the church’s architecture and monumental fresco program to Byzantine models in the context of the complex attitudes towards Hellenism in present-day Bulgaria, this article outlines possible reasons why the frescoes at Boiana have been seen as the unique product of a native Bulgarian genius rather than of a multilingual and probably multiethnic team of artists who were familiar with and painted in the highly prestigious Byzantine visual koine.
LIGHT EMITTING MODULE, FABRICATION METHOD THEREFOR, AND LAMP UNIT

In a light emitting module board, an electrode receiving the supply of current for light emission is provided in the light emitting surface of a semiconductor light emitting device. A light wavelength conversion member is a plate-like member mounted on the light emitting surface, and emits light after converting the wavelength of the light emitted by the semiconductor light emitting device. A relay electrode is provided in the surface of the light wavelength conversion member. The relay electrode extends from a position in contact with the electrode to an exposed position in the external space in a state where the light wavelength conversion member is mounted on the light emitting surface. The relay electrode is provided so that the upper part of the relay electrode, which is the exposed position, extends to a position located opposite to the lower part of the relay electrode which is the contacted position.
Tracking practice effects in computation estimation

The present study investigated college students' ability to estimate the results of multi-digit multiplication problems and the extent to which this ability improves with practice. Participants judged whether the results of multiplication problems composed of two-digit numbers were larger or smaller than a given reference number. The reference numbers were either close or far from the exact answer. The effects of practice, size, and distance of the reference number from the exact answer were examined using four measures of performance: speed, accuracy, eye movements, and strategy use. The results show that together with enhanced speed and accuracy with practice, participants also changed the pattern of eye movements and the strategies they used. The eye movement analysis showed longer dwell time and more frequent first fixations toward the reference number with practice, suggesting that participants relied more on the reference number to solve the task with practice. The strategy analysis revealed that with practice participants reduced their use of the approximate calculation strategy, which involves multiplying the rounded operands and comparing the product to the reference number, and increased their reliance on the sense of magnitude strategy which does not involve any calculation, but is grounded in the ANS. This was done especially for trials in which the reference number was far from the exact answer, thus exhibiting enhanced adaptivity in strategy choice with practice.
Imaging functional integration of newborn neurons into neural circuits of the axolotl brain

Post embryonic growth and regeneration require new cells to integrate into the network of existing cells. In the case of the brain it is extremely important to maintain and restore circuit function, such that behaviors can be executed correctly. To study such processes a system that fulfills both post-embryonic growth as well as regeneration is needed. Furthermore, since neural circuit functions are highly dynamic the need for in vivo approaches is evident. In mammalian systems where neurogenesis occurs throughout life in restricted brain regions such approaches are technically challenging.
Here, I propose to use the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) brain to understand the dynamic remodeling of neural circuits through the addition of newborn neurons during post-embryonic growth and regeneration. I will establish a high resolution intra-vital in vivo imaging approach to address the dynamics of neurogenesis and remodeling of neural circuits in the telencephalon and the optic tectum. Using this setup in combination with genetically encoded calcium indicators I will generate activity maps of these regions in the presence or absence of defined stimuli and address their functional remodeling during growth and their restoration after injury. Furthermore, I will develop and adapt methods to visualize the functional connections of neurons in axolotl. Together, this work will provide fundamental insights into the functional maintenance and regeneration of neural circuits and the dynamics of how new neurons integrate in vivo which has not yet been achieved in any vertebrate system.
Virtual Probes of Mineral-Water Interfaces: The More Flops, the Better!

New approaches are allowing computer simulations to be compared quantitatively with experimental results, and they are also raising new questions about reactivity at mineral–water interfaces. Molecular simulations not only help us to understand experimental observations, they can also be used to test hypotheses about the properties of geochemical systems. These new approaches include rigorous calibration of simulation models against thermodynamic properties and atomic structure. They also encompass rare event theory methods that allow simulation of slow, complex mineral surface reactions. Here, we give an overview of how these techniques have been applied to simulate mineral–water interface structure, growth/dissolution mechanisms, and cluster formation.
Role of cdc42 in cancer cell adhesion to endothelial cells and platelets

Metastasis accounts for 90% of cancer deaths, and it is therefore important and timely to identify new therapeutic targets aimed specifically at metastasis. Cdc42 has recently been implicated in a key step of the metastatic cascade: the extravasation of circulating tumour cells, also termed transendothelial migration (TEM) . This project aims to study how Cdc42 contributes to breast cancer cell TEM in vitro and in vivo. Cdc42 regulates β1‐integrin expression via the transcription factor serum response factor (SRF) and thereby stimulates cancer cell adhesion to endothelial cells (ECs) and TEM. To analyse the molecular basis for this regulation, downstream targets of Cdc42 will be depleted by RNAi in a panel of breast cancer cells to determine which target/s are responsible for altering β1‐integrin expression, adhesion to ECs or TEM.
Cancer cells interact with platelets as soon as they enter the bloodstream, and this enhances cancer cell TEM in vivo. It is therefore possible that Cdc42 regulates attachment to platelets as well as ECs. The role of Cdc42 in the interaction between platelets and cancer cells will be tested by adding purified platelets to control or Cdc42‐depleted breast cancer cells in vitro and analysing platelet aggregation around cancer cells by confocal microscopy. The role of Cdc42 in platelet attachment to cancer cells during early lung colonization in vivo will be studied by intravenous injection of fluorescently tagged breast cancer cells in mice.
This project will increase our understanding of metastasis. The identification of molecular targets involved in cancer cell extravasation will provide a starting point for the development of new drugs, thus contributing to reduce the mortality of patients with metastasis.
Quantum speed limits in thermodynamic processes and coherent control

Recent years have seen remarkable strides taken in the understanding, simulation, and control of complex quantum systems, evidenced by the fact that so-called second generation quantum technologies are becoming viable and a global concerted effort to exploit quantum systems is steadily progressing. To maximise the potential of these emerging technologies we must both understand their underlying working principles and be able to manipulate them effectively. In regards to the former, the quickly growing field of quantum thermodynamics is, and continues to, develop the basic framework to understand work, heat, and efficiency when quantum systems are used. Regarding the latter, a plethora of techniques to control quantum systems have come to the forefront of research, each with its own advantages and drawbacks. From a practical standpoint we normally seek to achieve this control in the shortest possible time. In this regard, one of the most intriguing aspects of quantum systems emerged from the clarification of Heisenberg’s energy-time uncertainty relation when Mandelstam and Tamm showed that it sets a minimal time for a quantum system to evolve: the quantum speed limit time.

The main goal of the proposed action will be to exploit the recent developments in understanding the thermodynamics of quantum systems in order to develop control techniques for complex quantum systems that operate as quickly as physically possible, while requiring the minimal resources. This will be achieved by establishing connections between the
quantum speed limit and other fundamental bounds, determining the achievability of the quantum speed limit using state-of-the-art control techniques, and designing new protocols that require minimal experimental resources, yet achieve a desired task.
Design, synthesis and anticancer activity of Michael-type thiol adducts of α-santonin analogue with exocyclic methylene

A series of Michael-type analogues were generated on the C-ring of α-santonin (α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone) upon reaction with various thiols. All the thiol adducts synthesized were evaluated for their anticancer activity against four human cancer cell lines (PC-3, HCT-15, A-549 and MCF-7). Bioassay results indicated that even though most of the synthesized compounds exhibited a good anticancer activity against various cancer cells in vitro, some of the compounds like 9e, 9g and 9q were found to be the most promising analogues in this series, with compound 9e showing IC50 values of 1.5 μM, 0.6 μM, 2.4 μM and 1.2 μM on PC-3, MCF-7, A-549 and HCT-116 cell lines respectively. Further, flow cytometry studies showed that MCF-7 cells treated with the compounds 9e, 9g and 9q were arrested in the sub G1 phase of the cell cycle in a concentration dependent manner. These lead molecules were further studied for NF-κB, p65 transcription factor inhibitory activity which confirmed concentration dependent inhibition against NF-κB, p65 with analogue 9e showing 57% inhibition at 2 μM, 9g showing 62% inhibition at 3 μM and 9q showing 54% inhibition at 2 μM concentration.
An automatic approach for creating faster websites using http/2, machine learning, and ai

Website speed is the key to success for e-commerce websites. A fast website creates a better user experience, improves Google ranking, and most importantly, it increases conversion. Slow websites cost millions of dollars a year in lost sales, and therefore this is a pressing problem on a growing market that call for efficient solutions.

As web usage and online commerce has exploded, we have moved from simple static websites to fully interactive and complex websites, introducing new challenges for creating fast websites. For example, loading a website is more re- source intensive, websites are loaded using smartphones in wireless networks, and website visitors are spread globally. To address these new challenges of the web, a new communication protocol, HTTP/2, was released in 2015. The new protocol does not require any changes to existing websites, and by default it provides a more efficient loading of resources, creates more mobile-friendly sites, and improves Google rank. The new protocol also introduces new features that software can take advantage of to substantially increase website speed.

However, most of the HTTP/2 features are not straightforward to apply and need to be actively configured, and no standards or guidelines exist to inform developers on optimal usage. This leave the problem for the developers to do manual tuning, which is both cumbersome and might demand changes every time the website is updated. Since the features can lead to substantial speed improvements, the challenge of adopting them has introduced a major business opportunity:

- To offer a product that can utilize the features of HTTP/2 to help online businesses create faster websites automatically
Leaf-Inspired nanocellulose frameworks for next generation photosynthetic cell factories

FuturoLEAF envisions to exploit know-how in nanocellulose materials and cell biology to revolutionize the field of industrial algal biotechnology by conceptually renewing tailored solid-state cell factories. FuturoLEAF introduces algal-based biocatalysts with functional architecture formulated from nanocellulose building blocks and designed on the principles of plant leaf anatomy and function. Knowledge of bio-based materials science and photosynthesis will be integrated with achievements of synthetic biology and biomolecular engineering to conceive the new technology efficient in capturing CO2 and producing solar-driven biofuels and chemicals. The FuturoLEAF biocatalysts will gain high production efficiency by tailoring nanocellulose matrix performance with utilisation of its highly specific water interactions, resulting in tunable porosity and transport properties. Directed self-assembly as a tool to locate and attach photosynthetic cells in the matrix by their native interaction potential will further improve the performance. The system will maximise light utilization and CO2 capturing by providing controllable influx/efflux of moisture, gases, nutrients, products and substrates, leading to next generation photosynthetic cell factories with high catalytic turn-over time. In addition, the solid-state nature of the system will enable effortless logistical transportation of cell factories without having to move large amounts of water in contrast to current suspension cultures. The FuturoLEAF architecture will be tested under changing environment in a fixedbed high-cell density photobioreactor, which is designed for simulating behaviour of the plant with gas-to-liquid interphase production environment. The proof of the concept will involve evaluation of the approach at TRL3 level in a photobioreactor functioning in continuous mode. FuturoLEAF proposes a significant step away from dependency of fossil sources, towards sustainable energy and chemicals production.

Freak waves in laboratory and space plasmas

Generation of large-amplitude short-lived wave groups from small-amplitude initial perturbations in plasmas is discussed. Two particular wave modes existing in plasmas are considered. The first one is the ion-sound wave. In a plasmas with negative ions it is described by the Gardner equation when the negative ion concentration is close to critical. The results of numerical solution of the Gardner equation with the modulationally unstable initial condition are presented. These results clearly show the possibility of generation of freak ion-acoustic waves due to the modulational instability. The second wave mode is the Alfven wave. When this wave propagates at a small angle with respect to the equilibrium magnetic field, and its wave length is comparable with the ion inertia length, it is described by the DNLS equation. Studying the evolution of an initial perturbation using the linearized DNLS equation shows that the generation of freak Alfven waves is possible due to linear dispersive focusing. The numerical solution of the DNLS equation reveals that the nonlinear dispersive focusing can also produce freak Alfven waves.
SILICON BLADES FOR SURGICAL AND NON-SURGICAL USE

Ophthalmic surgical blades (734) are manufactured from either a crystalline or polycrystalline material, preferably in the form of a wafer. The method comprises preparing the crystalline or polycrystalline wafers by mounting them and machining trenches into the wafers. Methods for machining the trenches, which form the bevel blade surfaces (752), include a diamond blade saw, laser system, ultrasonic machine, a hot forge press and a router. The wafers are then placed in an etchant solution which isotropically etches the wafers in a uniform manner, such that layers of crystalline or polycrystalline material are removed uniformly, producing single, double or multiple bevel blades (734). Nearly any bevel angle can be machined into the wafer which remains after etching. The resulting radii of the blade edges is 5-500 nm, which is the same caliber as a diamond edged blade, but manufactured at a fraction of the cost. The ophthalmic surgical blades can be used for cataract and refractive surgical procedures, as well as microsurgical, biological and non-medical, non-biological purposes.
