Modelling brain aneurysm to elucidate the role of platelets

In the European Union, 15 million people have an unruptured intracranial aneurysm (IA) that may rupture one day and lead to subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). The IA rupture event is ominous and lingers as a clinical quandary. No safe and effective non-invasive therapies have, as of yet, been identified and implemented in clinical practice mainly because of a lack of knowledge of the underlying mechanisms. Increasing evidence points to inflammation as one of the leading factors in the pathogenesis of IA. Intrasaccular clot formation is a common feature of IA occurring unruptured and ruptured IA. In addition to forming clots, activated platelets support leukocyte recruitment. Interestingly, platelets also prevent local hemorrhage in inflammatory situations independently of their ability to form a platelet plug. 

We hypothesize that the role of platelet may evolve throughout the development of IA: initially playing a protective role of in the maintenance of vascular integrity in response to inflammation and contributing later to intrasaccular thrombus formation. What are the platelet signaling pathways and responses involved and to what extent do they contribute to the disease and the rupture event?

To answer these questions, we designed an interdisciplinary proposal, which gathers biophysical, pharmacological, and in-vivo approaches, with the following objectives: I) To investigate platelet functions from patients diagnosed with intracranial aneurysm at the sites of aneurysm sac. II) To delineate platelet mechanisms and responses in a cutting-edge technology of a 3D reconstruction of IA that will take into account the hemodynamic shear stress. III) To test in a preclinical mouse model of IA efficient anti-platelet therapies and define a therapeutic window to intervene on platelet activation. The proposed project will yield new insights in IA disease and in life science, from cell biology to the discovery of potential new targets in cardiovascular medicine.

Assessing the Effect of PVP of Various Molecular Weight (MW) in PES-Ag Membranes: Antimicrobial Study Using E.Coli

New polymeric silver (Ag) composites were prepared using polyethersulfone (PES) as polymer material, N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as solvent and polyvinylpyrollidone (PVP) of various molecular weight (MW) as organic fillers. Silver nitrate (AgNO3) was added by various loading in order to impart an antibacterial property to the composites. The miscibility of PES/Ag/fillers composites were characterized using TGA and any changes in chemical bonding were characterized using ATR-FTIR techniques. The XPS results showed high intensity in Eb(Ag3d) range of 378.1-378.5 and 372.2-372.5 for the highest Ag loading with PVP with the highest MW. This phenomenon had altered the hydrophilicity property of composites. In this study, composites have undergone a bacteria rejection test from E.coli suspension and a domestic waste sample. Composites with highest loading of silver and highest MW of PVP (PES-Ag2P360) was observed for significantly high bacteria rejection, log reduction value (LRV~3). Therefore, PES-silver nanocomposites is a potential membrane for bacteria removal, disinfection and maybe effective for overcoming biofouling problems.
Lighthouse: concentrated thermal solar power directly connected to the heating and cooling systems of buildings at the local level.

The idea of LIGHTHOUSE (patented) is pretty simple, we concentrate the solar power, as we used to do when we were playing as children, in order to transform the power of the sun into pure heat in high temperature and connect it,  to our building heating and/or cooling systems, and this way reduce the costs up to 60% and protect the environment at the same time. LIGHTHOUSE  brings the power of the big solar power plants at every building  at the local level, in a financially feasible way, allowing collection of solar energy at high temperatures, with excellent and reliable performance all year round, all day long, with maximum efficiency. 
Solar heating and cooling is a key player in the EU energy policy framework, especially towards achieving the 2020 targets, and European Energy Council describes the  heating and cooling need in buildings at the local level,  as a “Sleeping Giant”. 
LIGHTHOUSE primary target is to reduce the fossil fuels that are burned inside the cities, and the electricity consumed from the city’s grid, for heating and cooling our buildings (49% of the global energy consumption), much more efficient than any other solutions like photovoltaic or CPV which produces only electricity and not high quality thermal energy (heat that is needed for heating and cooling) .
 The aim of the feasibility study is to identify and select the best materials and components in terms of cost-effectiveness and availability, by means of a market research; then, the performance of the key parts  will be evaluated by testing several Fresnel lens (key component); in parallel, a study on the LIGHTHOUSE design will be carried out, taking into account issues like safety, durability, efficiency and aesthetics, together with cost-effectiveness. The systematic collection of results will enable the participating SME to approach Phase2 with a completed prototype design and a first market research done, in order to proceed with pilot implementations in Mediterranean countries .
Hedonic coalition formation games with variable populations: core characterizations and (im)possibilities

We consider hedonic coalition formation games with variable sets of agents and extend the properties competition sensitivity and resource sensitivity (introduced by Klaus, Games Econ Behav 72:172–186, 2011, for roommate markets) to hedonic coalition formation games. Then, we show that on the domain of solvable hedonic coalition formation games, the Core is characterized by coalitional unanimity and Maskin monotonicity (see also Takamiya, Maskin monotonic coalition formation rules respecting group rights. Niigata University, Mimeo, 2010, Theorem 1). Next, we characterize the Core for solvable hedonic coalition formation games by unanimity, Maskin monotonicity, and either competition sensitivity or resource sensitivity (Corollary 2). Finally, and in contrast to roommate markets, we show that on the domain of solvable hedonic coalition formation games, there exists a solution not equal to the Core that satisfies coalitional unanimity, consistency, competition sensitivity, and resource sensitivity (Example 2).
RESIDUE FREE PATTERNED LAYER FORMATION METHOD APPLICABLE TO CMOS STRUCTURES

A method for forming a microelectronic structure uses a mask layer located over a target layer. The target layer may be etched while using the mask layer as an etch mask to form an end tapered target layer from the target layer. An additional target layer may be formed over the end tapered target layer and masked with an additional mask layer. The additional target layer may be etched to form a patterned additional target layer separated from the end tapered target layer and absent an additional target layer residue adjacent the end tapered target layer. The method is useful for fabricating CMOS structures including nFET and pFET gate electrodes comprising different nFET and pFET gate electrode materials.
Seasonal variations in the occurrence and fate of basic and neutral pharmaceuticals in a Swedish river–lake system

The seasonal variations in the occurrence of carbamazepine, atenolol, metoprolol, sotalol, and acebutolol were studied at seven sites along River Fyris from December 2007 to December 2008. Samples were collected from the effluent of a waste water treatment plant (WWTP), at one upstream site, and five downstream sites of the WWTP. During one occasion in May 2008, water samples were collected at different locations and depths in the recipient lake. All analytes except of acebutolol were present in both the river and the lake at quantifiable amounts at all sampling occasions. Carbamazepine was found in similar concentrations (about 90 ng L(-1)) at all sampling sites and all studied depths (0.5-40 m) in the lake, indicating high environmental persistence of this compound. A clear seasonal pattern was observed for the natural attenuation of the beta-blockers in the river, with the highest attenuation occurring in summer and the lowest in winter. The loss of beta-blockers on a distance of 1320 m reached up to 75% during summer time but was insignificant during winter. The seasonal variations in the loss followed the seasonal variations in water temperature and chlorophyll a mass flow suggesting that biotransformation and adsorption are the main processes responsible for the loss of the studied pharmaceuticals in River Fyris downstream the WWTP.

Entrepreneurship education and boys' and girls' perceptions of entrepreneurs

There are many studies on the impacts of entrepreneurship education in higher education, but few studies have assessed how secondary schools can contribute to create a more dynamic enterprise culture. This paper assesses whether a European entrepreneurship programme directed at upper secondary school promote positive attitudes towards entrepreneurs. The programme investigated is called the company programme (CP), and the study is done in Norway where the programme CP reaches approximately 15% of all pupils. There is a particular focus on girls within entrepreneurship education in Norway, and we will present our results on the impact of CP for girls and boys separately. Results from multilevel models indicate that both boy and girl participants in CP are more likely than non-participants to think that an entrepreneur is “someone who wants to use his/her creativity” and less likely to think that an entrepreneur “is someone who cannot find another job”. However, attitudes about entrepreneurs also vary among ...
Topological quantum gas microsope

In this project I will study the properties of interacting topological insulators using ultracold atoms in optical lattices.  To this aim, I will build the first bosonic quantum gas microscope that allows single site resolution in combination with excellent control of atomic interactions. This project will be able to detect and manipulate in-situ a wide number of topological Hamiltonians from the weakly to the strongly interacting regime. The first part of the project involves a construction stage. After characterization of the experimental setup, in a first series of experiments I will study the interacting 2D Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model where higher-order symmetry-protected topological phases are expected. In this model, the control of interactions is crucial to observe interaction-induced topological phase transitions.
In a second series of experiments, I will implement a new technique based on Raman-induced tunneling in state dependent potentials to create artificial gauge fields. This scheme will provide full control of the hopping matrix elements and will avoid the typical heating associated to driven-many-body systems in cold atoms experiments. The spatial resolution provided by the quantum gas microscope, the acquired knowledge provided by the interacting SSH model and the implementation of this new driving-scheme will open the possibility to study and prepare adiabatically for the first time a strongly-correlated topological phase.
Discovering the deep mediterranean environment: a history of science and strategy (1860-2020)

Few geographical spaces have been more relevant to human life and more intensively theorized than the Mediterranean Sea. Today, this sea poses some of the most pressing challenges and opportunities for European economic, security, and environmental policies. Answers to how to manage the region depend on ideas and perceptions of integration and division of the basin and its peoples. But the Mediterranean as a spatial concept has radically changed in the last 160 years as humans have gained access to its depths, unveiling an underwater world to discover, exploit, and navigate. The Mediterranean has become a volume. 

DEEPMED is the first historical account of the discovery of the deep Mediterranean environment. Its main hypothesis is that science and strategy jointly made the Mediterranean depths into an object of analysis and a political space, which in turn shaped science and strategy in the region. DEEPMED pursues three specific objectives: 1) identifying the actors and contexts that enabled perceptions and practices of depth in the Med; 2) describing how natural and human time-scales interact in this body of water, and 3) tracking key conceptual landmarks defining the uniqueness and representativeness of the Mediterranean volume vis à vis the global ocean.  

DEEPMED is the first basin-scale step in a novel approach to oceanic history that incorporates analyses of deep and bottom layers of the Sea to gauge the causes and effects of the historical emergence of depth. This requires an innovative interdisciplinary, transnational and digital methodology. The project identifies overarching trajectories of human engagement with Mediterranean depths from the mid-19th century to the present, including contrasting timelines and perspectives. The availability of digital tools for creating a database that facilitates geospatial and visual analyses make the project timely. The current security and environmental Mediterranean crises make it essential.
From an environmental to a resource regime? institutional innovation for the management of tourism and marine protected areas within the antarctic treaty governance

The Antarctica Treaty presents one of the most intriguing environmental regimes to international relations: its institutionalisation has intensified as much as the Treaty has been able to keep controversy away from its governance. The current arrangement postpones, outsources or builds an ambiguous guidance towards any subject which might undermine its consensual foundation. But are these solutions able to keep the Antarctic Treaty's resilience as a regime? Antarctic history shows that expectations towards resource activities within the region has triggered challenges to this framework. Nevertheless, Antarctic Tourism and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are current activities respectively outsourced and avoided by the Treaty, despite of their direct impact on the Antarctic Treaty operation. Therefore, this proposal aims to contribute towards the Antarctic Treaty governance, proposing institutional innovations which would support the Treaty to manage complex, multilevel and controversial activities. Based on stakeholders' assessment of the Antarctic Treaty governance on Tourism and MPAs, hybrid strategies and institutional interplay will be developed and presented for discussion to these actors. The project expects to directly contribute for the Treaty’s resilience as a regime, to increase public awareness on Antarctic matters through open access information and engaging outreach strategies, and to develop a European perspective on Antarctic politics. A vibrant research environment, expertise on environmental and resource regimes, and training for the researcher will be offered by the University of Leeds, enabling the development of the proposal and the boosting of the researcher’s career as an academic and expert on Antarctic politics. Furthermore, the researcher's experience in Antarctic treaties and networking, as well as her expertise in academic research, will result into publications and partnerships, establishing a European research legacy for Antarctic politics
Analysis of Reconfigurable Multipliers for Integer and Galois Field Multiplication based on High Speed Adders

Abstract Multiplication is indeed the most crucial operation in digital signal processing (DSP). Its implementation requires large hardware resources and significantly affects the size, performance, and power consumption of a DSP system. Several DSP algorithms require different types of multiplications, specifically integer or Galois field (GF) multiplication. Since both functions share similarities in their structures, it is better to combine both circuits in a single circuit. In this paper, various reconfigurable multipliers for integer and Galois field multiplication will be analyzed and discussed in detail. A comparative study of these architectures with the proposed architectures based on high speed Shannon adder is made. Such study shows area savings of up to 10% at a marginal reduction in delay and power around 3% compare to the conventional adder based reconfigurable structures. From this perspective, function-specific reconfigurable circuits based on high speed Shannon adder can be considered feasible alternatives to standard ASIC solutions.

Humanities rock! - humans and research

The HUMANITIES ROCK! European Researchers’ Night 2020 builds on the University of Ljubljana’s very successful 2018-2019 edition of the European Researchers’ Night. 
The overall objective of the HUMANITIES ROCK! project remains the same, i.e. to increase awareness of research and innovation activities, support the public recognition of researchers, debunk stereotypes and misinformation about researchers and their profession, create a better understanding of the impact of researchers’ work on citizens’ daily lives, encourage young people to embark on research careers and increase the popularity of scientific careers by organizing innovative public engagement activities and breaking the barrier between researchers and the general public. 
Since humankind is currently facing large-scale cultural and global man-made challenges, social sciences and humanities (SSH) research is becoming more important and relevant than ever, but is still often neglected and poorly utilized. The HUMANITIES ROCK! project activities therefore promote and stimulate interdisciplinary collaborations between the SSH and the natural sciences and present the humanities as an integral part of science in general. The 2020 edition revolves around the broad and wide-ranging theme “HUMANS AND RESEARCH”, presenting humans as subjects of research and as beings affected by research. The project activities focus on the biological, technological, philosophical, social and cultural aspects of human life and the research fields studying it, paying close attention to the social dimensions of scientific knowledge. 
The proposed activities are targeted particularly at children, young people and science-reluctant people, and comprise direct visits, demonstrations, competitions, exhibitions, lab visits, workshops, discussions, hands-on experiments, EU corners, open days, live chats with scientists and science cafes, taking place at public venues and in research institutions, which will open their doors to visitors.
