Assessment of Her-2/neu status using immunocytochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization on fine-needle aspiration cytology smears: Experience from a tertiary care centre in India

Breast carcinoma shows amplification/overexpression of Her-2/neu in ∼20-30% of cases. The determination of Her-2/neu expression accurately is vital in clinical practice as it has significant predictive value and eligibility for anti Her-2/neu therapy. Amplification and overexpression of Her-2/neu gene is traditionally identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) on tissue sections; only a few studies have evaluated feasibility of these techniques on cytological smears. One hundred cases of breast cancer with fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) samples and corresponding surgically resected specimen were selected. Immunocytochemistry (ICC) and FISH for Her-2/neu was done on FNA smears, whereas IHC was performed on corresponding tissue sections. Diagnostic accuracy of ICC was 99% when compared with IHC. Comparison of FISH results with IHC showed 100% concordance. Unlike many centers in West, FNAC is still routinely performed in developing countries like India where vast majority of breast cancer cases present as palpable lumps. The high rates of accuracy of ICC and FISH for Her-2/neu detection can make FNAC a relevant first line of investigation as a cost effective model with a rapid turn-around time, providing complete information necessary for initial management of breast cancer patients.
The most viable stationary energy storage solution for grid applications

Increasing share of renewable energy (solar and wind) into the EU energy mix is posing new grid management problems for operators. As the share exceeds 25%, it causes high levels of grid instability that can lead to supply insecurity and outages. As a result, EU electricity distribution operators will require €480 billion by 2035 to expand their networks to overcome challenges associated with integrating renewables if cost and service life of current energy storage technologies are not improved. The only two energy storage methods that have acceptable cost and life: pumped hydro-storage (PHS) and compressed air energy storage (CAES) do not have the required rapid response times and are severely limited by geographic restrictions. While battery energy storage (BES) systems have the required instantaneous response, current technologies are prohibitively expensive and have limited lifespans and have safety risks.

In response to this, Greenvolt Nanoma ehf, an Icelandic company uses nanotechnology to develop the first ever BES technology to meet all performance and cost criteria for grid applications. Our Nano-Edison battery’s costs and service life are comparable to PHS and CAES. Our solution is also tolerant to heavy currents, overcharging/discharging and even short circuits and can support pulse charging – making it ideal for capturing variable renewable energies.

As such, we have a unique advantage within the rapidly growing €7.34 billion global market for grid-scale battery storage. With a viable technology that enables grid operators to defer investments in costly network expansion, we seek to be the global leader in energy storage for stationary applications. We have estimated that we will need an additional investment of €3.5 million to achieve that and bring our technology to the market.
Scanfly – the payload lidar not for uas

Scanfly is a unique innovative remote sensing device that allows 3D lidar mapping, specifically developed for use by drone. It is a product developed entirely by 3D Target s.r.l. that offers to its customers a service of supply of 3D data updated regularly for self-driving vehicles, but also designers, city planners and municipal infrastructure management companies. 
Infrastructure, especially the road network, keeps Europe running. Roads ensure mobility - in the neighbourhood, municipality, the region or beyond. The quality of road network affects almost everybody in daily life. From a pure economic point of view spending in new or existing roads is an investment in the capital stock of our society.
The proposed solution introduces novelty and added value: thanks to its best performance - it allows to fully automatically analyse the actual state of the elements of urban and extra-urban assets - and its ease of use, Scanfly can immediate recognise the variations, compared to the previously noted status, which can lead to critical issues. The development of machine and deep learning algorithms will allow the automatic analysis of a whole series of elements necessary to populate databases from which V2I service providers and the end user (via app, web-portal, SMS alert) will be able to access through SaaS services to improve vehicle-infrastructure integration and road infrastructure-vehicle-user.
Scanfly addresses the needs of a large B2B and B2G user base including 91.489 in EU-28 among subjects responsible for the road infrastructures (private/public companies that manage infrastructures or own infrastructures; public property; service provider commissioned by previous users). They need to maintain the infrastructure to offer an objective risk level as low as possible. Thanks to Scanfly they have a fully automatic analysis of the actual conditions of the elements of the urban and extra-urban assets. Scanfly’s Total Addressable Market is 5.5bn EUR in EU-28.
The effect of urine-derived stem cells expressing VEGF loaded in collagen hydrogels on myogenesis and innervation following after subcutaneous implantation in nude mice

Impairment of sphincter muscles or their neural and vascular support leads to stress urinary incontinence. The aim of this study was to determine the role of urine-derived stem cells (USCs) over-expressing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in collagen-I gel on angiogenesis, cell survival, cell growth, myogenic phenotype differentiation of the implanted cells and innervations following implantation in vivo. USCs were infected with adenovirus containing the human VEGF165 and green fluorescent protein genes. A total of 5 × 10(6) cells, USCs alone, or plus endothelial cells or human skeletal myoblasts (as control) suspended in collagen-I gel were subcutaneously implanted into nude mice. Extensive vascularization and more implanted cells was noted in VEGF-expressing USCs groups compared to the non-VEGF groups in vivo. Numbers of the cells displaying endothelial markers (CD 31 and von Willebrand's factor) and myogenic markers (myf-5, MyoD and desmin), and regenerated nerve fibers displaying neural markers (S-100, GFAP and neurofilament) significantly increased in the grafts of VEGF-expressing USCs. Improved angiogenesis by VEGF-expressing USCs enhanced grafted cell survival, recruited the resident cells and promoted myogenic phenotype differentiation of USCs and innervation. This approach has important clinical implications for the development of cell therapies for the correction of stress urinary incontinence.
Diffusion tensor imaging of white and grey matter within the spinal cord of normal Beagle dogs: Sub-regional differences of the various diffusion parameters

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is an advanced diffusion weighted imaging technique that can identify early stage lesions and Wallerian degeneration within the spinal cord; these changes are difficult to recognise on conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The only DTI parameters previously investigated in dogs are fractional anisotropy and mean diffusivity (MD). The aim of this study was to evaluate multiple DTI parameters in sub-regional areas of the spinal cord in normal Beagles. All imaging data were obtained from the lumbar spinal cord (L1-L3) of ten normal dogs using a 3 Tesla MRI scanner. Transverse multi-shot echo planar imaging sequences (b values = 0 and 800 s/mm(2); 12 directions) were used for DTI. Regions of interest were selected from sub-regions of the white and grey matter, and from the whole spinal cord, in the transverse plane in all DTI maps. The DTI parameters in spinal cord sub-regions in the transverse plane were significantly different amongst the white matter, grey matter and whole spinal cord (P < 0.05 for all DTI parameters except MD), as well as between white matter sub-regions (P < 0.05 for most DTI parameters except radial diffusivity, MD and planar index). DTI-based sub-regional analysis of white and grey matter may be useful for regional evaluation of the dog spinal cord.

Factors influencing cassava - pulp fermentation period for gari processing among cassava processors in southeastern Nigeria.

paper examined factors influencing cassava pulp fermentation period for gari processing among cassava processors in South-eastern Nigeria. Five out of nine states that constitute South-east Agro-ecological zone of Nigeria were purposively sampled on the basis of being notable for cassava production. From each sampled state and by simple random sampling technique, 64 cassava processors were selected evenly from across the agricultural zones of the state. This summed up to a sample size of 320 respondents from the entire study area. Using structured interview schedule, data on age of farmers, educational status, years of gari processing experience, marital status, membership of cooperative societies, etc were collected from the respondents. Data collected were analyzed with descriptive statistics and Probit model analysis. Result of probit model analysis at 5% significance level shows an R value 0.4728 indicating that 47.28% of factors affecting cassava-pulp fermentation practices in the study area were accounted for by the variables considered in this study. Marital status (2.236**) and respondents' cultural influences (1.960**) were positively related to long period fermentation of cassava-pulp among the respondents. On the contrary, socio-economic statuses (-2.466**) of the respondents were negatively related to long period fermentation of cassava-pulp among the respondents. It is therefore, recommended that awareness campaign should be mounted to sensitize cassava processors to the health risks associated with short period of fermentation of cassava-pulp during gari processing. Similarly, extension agents should use occasion of personal visits to farmers to educate them on the importance of adequate fermentation of cassava pulp during gari processing. Cultural groups and activities should be explored by extension agents and nutritionists in disseminating information on need for longer period of fermentation of cassava pulp during gari processing.

De La Femme assise (1964) à Libérett’ (1979) : Copi ou la déconstruction du jeu des apparences à travers le corps

Copi commence à dessiner La Femme assise dans Le Nouvel Observateur en 1964 et libère sa Libérett’ dans Libération en 1979. Le génie d’un artiste polyvalent, parce que Copi était également écrivain, dramaturge et acteur, se libère dans les rues parisiennes quand il décide de vendre ses dessins dans Le Pont des Arts en 1963. Les traits qui dessinent et caractérisent la silhouette d’une « femme assise » n’ont rien à voir avec ceux qui dévoilent le contour d’un corps trans, « monstrueux », possédant des seins de femme et un pénis et des testicules d’homme, qui réagit à sa volonté hors les normes sexuelles et sociales traditionnelles. Dans ce travail, on tâchera de démontrer comment Copi, à travers ses caricatures particulières, introduit le lecteur dans un jeu des apparences de l’identité et de la sexualité à partir du corps pour défier les modèles établis du genre et du sexe, pour démarquer l’identité et la sexualité fluides des contraintes hétéronormatives et pour promouvoir, finalement, la liberté d’expression dans tous les sens du terme.
Bringing ideas to life

In a time of unprecedented change for cities, with financial resources reducing rapidly, it is imperative we find new ways of operating. We must source ideas from outside the traditional city council structure and couple this with a different culture and working practice within the city council itself.

Our online collaboration platform enables exchange of ideas between residents, communities, companies and academics. This is coupled with a completely new style of collaborative event (“Synergy Surgery”), to provide a systematic solution for solving city challenges.

We’re said to be currently living in the Urban Millennium, with the world reaching a tipping point of more urban than rural inhabitants. This raises some important questions, not least how we choose to live together. The GeniUS! process has addressed the need for innovation in how we design and deliver city services and in how we engage with our residents.

The GeniUS! approach has its basis in unlocking the physical assets, knowledge capital and creative potential within the city. There is a vast talent base on our doorstep and anyone can be part of finding new and sustainable solutions to a city’s challenges.

Our project will transfer the GeniUS! process to each of our three partner cities. Each partner city will launch it’s own online collaboration platform and will use our open innovation approach to develop solutions to a challenge that is currently facing their city.
The partner cities have a range of cultures and local practices, with a varied amount of existing social innovation practice. This will allow the practice transfer to be tested in three new and differing environments thus allowing a strong evaluation of the suitability of the current process for different circumstances.The City of York has a legacy of social innovation throughout its history and we believe that this remains key to securing the future prosperity of the city. This cannot be achieved effectively in isolation. We are already using Open Innovation to engage a wider range of people to create more potential to achieve great things. Expanding this to include the URBACT city network is the next step on the journey. York’s open innovation approach is now a systematic solution for solving challenges and engaging residents, communities, companies and academics in that process. We hope that our three partners will benefit from the transfer of the GeniUS! process to their cities.

Throughout the project, we will review and refine the model and the transfer process, in order to make it as suitable as possible for a range of cities, within Europe and beyond. We hope that the URBACT network will benefit from what we learn about the conditions needed for successful transfer of practice from one city to another. In sharing the GeniUS! process with others, the practice will be strengthened and improved, which will also bring benefits for York and it’s residents.
Climate Change, Impacts and Adaptation Strategies in the Alpine Space

"Climate change, impacts and adaptation strategies in the Alpine Space” is a strategic project with the aim to give concrete input to a future Alpine Space Programme based on conclusions about the type of climate changes in the Alpine Space and its potential effects. 
By a general assessment of historical climate changes and its impacts as well as by climate models, future scenarios and their effects on natural hazards, spatial development and key economic sectors (e.g. tourism, mobility, agriculture, forestry, settlements and industries) will be ascertained. Within four thematic Work Packages (besides obligatory WP 1-4) the project will cover different aspects of climate change in the Alpine Space and its surrounding lowlands. 
Strategic recommendations shall be laid down in a synthesis work package as an input to a follow up programme. They will give hints for  improving relevant policies, instruments and administrative structures particularly in the area of risk prevention and spatial planning as well as other sectors.
Open data incubator for europe

The Open Data INcubator for Europe (ODINE) project will set up an environment to support and advice SMEs and start-ups in creating commercial added value from open data. Drawing on the experience from key players in the consortium including Wayra (an incubator/accelerator), Fraunhofer IAIS and the ODI (both data facilitators and incubators), Telefonica (providing computing infrastructure and strong links to data protection and privacy stakeholders), and the University of Southampton (renowned for its open data research and home of Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Sir Nigel Shadbolt), we plan to establish a EU-wide, industry-focused network of open data companies around Europe, promoted and guided by the trusted authorities and commentators at the Guardian and OKFN. To achieve this we shall take an approach that follows ‘best in class’ practice for incubators and which makes it as a simple and smooth as possible for SMEs to apply for help. We will offer: (i) a transparent, fair, and efficient proposal process for SMEs and start-ups, based around Wayra, IAIS and ODI’s existing and successful processes; (ii) a network of European open data SMEs and start-ups; (iii) initial investment in these companies through an open call; (iv) incubation and mentoring by ODI, Fraunhofer and Wayra academies, with the possibility of acceleration via Wayra, Telefonica Ventures, and Fraunhofer Venture; (v) access to data services and computing infrastructure from IAIS, ODI, OKFN and Telefonica; (vi) expert support from serial entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs, and coaching from business schools; as well as (vii) high visibility through promotion of success stories by the Guardian, ODI and the OKFN. A successful open data incubator will significantly help Europe to regain leadership in technical innovation, balanced with the ethical treatment of data for which the public are crying out, and to create skilled jobs that help Europe become more productive and competitive in the 21st Century.

La invención es también atraída hacia el grupo de retiro de azufre y electrones que contiene grupos coordinadores ligados covalentamente a través de un agrupamiento separador a un material de soporte sólido inorgánico hidrofílico.
Knowing each other: improving local governance through Community Initiatives

The aim of the project is to make Interreg match its first goals : local development and strengthening of governance. Indeed although various good projects have succeeded on a cross border level for the past ten years, the diversity of forms of administrative and
political organisations in namely Mediterranean context is still an obstacle to cooperation. By harmonizing practices from those different countries but also by fostering partnership between different territorial levels, the project aims at overcoming the obstacle . It is based
on a four-fold programme : transfer of know how, knowing each other, training and exchanges of political decision makers, and communication means.
What’s in the news?

By the time this issue is published, we will be in a media frenzy either in the final buildup towards a general election, with predictions, claims, counter-claims and promises or in the aftermath, with the inevitable postmortem of ‘what-if’s’, ‘if only’s and ‘next time’s. Health care in general and nurses in particular are likely to receive a reasonable amount of attention in all parties’ campaigns as, whichever party is leading the country over the next 4 years, times will be tough. Indeed, prior to the election, Sir David Nicholson (NHS Chief Executive) issued a guidance letter for Strategic Health Authority executives advising caution when speaking to the press as the NHS ‘was likely to be a high profile issue’ during the campaigning.
The race, class and gender of transnational urban labour: romanian workers in the cities of london and nyc

The workings of globalization depend on international labor migration, a phenomenon that is hardly recent but that is, instead, embedded in histories of colonialism, decolonization and neocolonization, divergent conditions of democracy, totalitarianism, militarism and exploitation, as well as in persistent structures of economic disparity among the formal colonial powers and the decolonized world. Contemporary labor migration—the flows of people in search of labor crossing national boundaries, deeply impacts and transforms the social, economic, political, cognitive and affective landscapes of contemporary life. This project will consider these transformations by examining the transnational migrant labor of workers from Romania such as it unfolds at two central sites of global capitalism, London-U.K. and New York-U.S. The research will feature an historical analysis of the immigrant Romanian labor presence at these sites, while its time frame covers the interval starting in 1989 up to the present day. While labor migration has been a subject of interest for economists, political theorists, geographers, anthropologists and cultural theorists alike, its relevance to affective theory and neoliberal critiques have only recently been addressed. My project seeks to address an analytic gap that refers to the affective dimension of migrational labor by considering not only the economic, political, and historical contexts, but also the impact that immigrants’ transnational journeys in search for work and their landing in new spaces have on their intimate lives alongside co-nationals as well as alongside other dwellers in the global city. The research project will draw upon recent global changes, more precisely on the global economic crisis, the continued neoliberalization of economies and the pressures towards securitization that affect the cities of London and New York and thus implicitly impact on the lives of immigrant laborers.
