Innovative Financial Instruments for Sustainable Development in Alpine Space

Alpine Space regions are all characterized by the need of increasing and improving sustainable development policies, to cope with the consequences of the international crisis. Starting from the capitalization of partners' experiences, and considering the high "eco-innovation" potential of the Alpine Space, the FIDIAS project aims to provide Local Regional Authorities, green-tech SMEs and Local Financial Operators of the Alpine Space with the sufficient know-how to exploit the opportunities coming from the new EU regulations on financial instruments, in order to reinforce existing processes of local development acting through a bottom-up approach. By considering the encouragement coming from the European Commission towards the use of financial instruments as leverage of public funding, the project intends to promote innovative mechanisms, financial instruments and services able to attract private and public capital and to support sustainable development and competitiveness in alpine territories.

HIGH PERFORMANCE INTEGRATED CIRCUIT PACKAGE

A high performance integrated circuit package (10) placed on a printed circuit (PC) board (56) and having a first dielectric layer. On top of this first dielectric layer a metallized die pad (22) and a first metal ring (38a), surrounding this metallized die pad, are positioned. The metallized die pad and the first metal ring electrically couple to the PC board to receive respectively a first power supply signal and a second power supply signal. An integrated circuit die (12) is then affixed to the metallized die pad. This integrated circuit die (12) has a first power supply signal bond pad (28, 30) and a second power supply signal bond pad (33, 34), which respectively are coupled to the metallized die pad and the first metal ring. Consequently, the metallized die pad and the first metal ring operate as a first power supply plane and a second power supply plane coupling the first and second power supply signals coming from the PC board to the first and second power supply signal bond pads on the integrated circuit die.
Entrevista com Dom Tomás Balduíno: das causas de Dom Tomás Balduíno e Dom Pedro Casaldáliga

Dom Tomás Balduíno e Dom Pedro Casaldáliga foram dois bispos católicos que se aproximaram por suas escolhas e linhas de atuação, dentre as quais a defesa dos direitos humanos e a abertura da Igreja Católica Apostólica Romana aos que estavam às margens sociais, como mulheres, nativos, negros, moradores de rua, posseiros e camponeses. Não muito distante geograficamente, o primeiro, na Diocese de Goiás, e o segundo, na Prelazia de São Félix do Araguaia, eles tentaram implementar modelos litúrgicos que incluíam simbologias advindas dos grupos mencionados. Além disso, dialogaram fazendo uso de declarações nos meios de comunicação, cartas pastorais e poemas. Outros pontos comuns os ligam: a adesão à Teologia de Libertação; a compreensão de que o comunismo tem seus pontos positivos e que é útil à consciência da realidade, e o apoio a grupos de posseiros em particular. Eles fizeram parte do que foi considerado “a ala progressista” da Igreja Católica Romana e dialogaram com outros componentes deste grupo, como o italiano Giovanni Franzoni, o salvadorenho Oscar Romero e o brasileiro Evaristo Arns. Todos eles presbíteros, militantes das causas humanitárias e líderes do sistema de pensamento conhecido como Teologia da Libertação.
Rapid estimation of sugar release from winter wheat straw during bioethanol production using FTIR-photoacoustic spectroscopy

Complexity and high cost are the main limitations for high-throughput screening methods for the estimation of the sugar release from plant materials during bioethanol production. In addition, it is important that we improve our understanding of the mechanisms by which different chemical components are affecting the degradability of plant material. In this study, Fourier transform infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy (FTIR-PAS) was combined with advanced chemometrics to develop calibration models predicting the amount of sugars released after pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis of wheat straw during bioethanol production, and the spectra were analysed to identify components associated with recalcitrance.A total of 1122 wheat straw samples from nine different locations in Denmark and one location in the United Kingdom, spanning a large variation in genetic material and environmental conditions during growth, were analysed. The FTIR-PAS spectra of non-pretreated wheat straw were correlated with the measured sugar release, determined by a high-throughput pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis (HTPH) assay. A partial least square regression (PLSR) calibration model predicting the glucose and xylose release was developed. The interpretation of the regression coefficients revealed a positive correlation between the released glucose and xylose with easily hydrolysable compounds, such as amorphous cellulose and hemicellulose. Additionally, a negative correlation with crystalline cellulose and lignin, which inhibits cellulose and hemicellulose hydrolysis, was observed.FTIR-PAS was used as a reliable method for the rapid estimation of sugar release during bioethanol production. The spectra revealed that lignin inhibited the hydrolysis of polysaccharides into monomers, while the crystallinity of cellulose retarded its hydrolysis into glucose. Amorphous cellulose and xylans were found to contribute significantly to the released amounts of glucose and xylose, respectively.

Computational scheme for the spin-12Heisenberg antiferromagnet based on an octapartite description of the square lattice

We introduce a novel parametrization scheme for the Hilbert space of a spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet (AFM) based on an octapartite description of the square lattice. Our formulation provides an efficient yet systematic way to model the singlet ground-state wave function within a truncated basis. We demonstrate its effectiveness by using exact diagonalization to study systems with up to 64 spins. At significantly reduced computational cost, we obtain ground-state energies within less than 1% of the lowest values published. The non-iterative nature of this formulation and the fact that spatial symmetries remain unexploited lead to opportunities for extensions such as the incorporation into established iterative methods and the application to interacting models, for example in the study of the propagation of charged fermions in a 2D antiferromagnet.

The Validity of Grammaticality Judgment Task on Saudi EFL Learners

The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the validity of the controversial data-gathering tool Grammaticality Judgment Task on measuring the grammatical competency of Saudi EFL learners. Despite the widespread use of GJT in SLA research, it is surrounded by a great deal of criticism. The present paper is part of a larger study investigating the acquisition of past verb forms by Saudi EFL learners. Thirty-six Saudi EFL learners took part in the study and were divided into three groups as follows: guided-planning group, semi-guided planning group, and control group. The task used in the study consisted of twenty test items: 10 control test items, and 10 experimental test items. The results did not reveal significant statistical differences between the three groups. Also, the results did not reflect the actual grammatical competency of the participants.
A range of economically viable, innovative and proven hydrokinetic turbines that will enable users to exploit the huge potential of clean, predictable energy in the world’s rivers, canals and estuarie

The DP Renewables project aims to commercialise a range of innovative, hydrokinetic turbines that will offer a reliable solution for generating zero-carbon energy from rivers, estuaries and canals. The range of products to be launched on the market in February 2020 comprises of two different sized turbine devices, 25Kw and 60Kw respectively, which are specifically designed to cater to a niche, ‘low-power’, small-scale energy generation market.

DP Renewables stems from the success of ‘HydroKinetic-25’, the SME Instrument Phase 1 project implemented by DesignPro in March-September 2016 that served to prove this innovative idea’s economic viability and define a business plan to bring it to market. Phase 2 will see this strategic and validated business plan implemented and the realisation of a project that will have significant positive impact on societal, economic and environmental issues. The project will cater to those with a suitable deployment site, meeting their need for energy security and independence, reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels and lowering carbon emissions. 

The project is fully aligned with the growth strategy of the SME and is regarded as a major stepping-stone towards consolidating its international presence while becoming a recognised contributor to the renewable energy spectrum. Despite its large resource potential, hydrokinetic energy is still largely untapped with only 5% exploited to date. Europe, as well as many countries around the world, is rich of small and medium-sized rivers and straits between islands. Existing technologies require very fast flow speeds and large deployment spaces in order to make turbine outputs viable. This cuts off a large majority of the available market from having a feasible solution to use. Our project, DP Renewables, offers this solution, enabling Europe and the world to utilise an abundant, highly accessible resource by harnessing cost-efficient, clean and reliable energy for users.

Soutien à la micro-entreprise familiale Boryniec & Boryniec, gérant la pension Belweder IV à Szklarska Poręba, face à l’épidémie de COVID-19

Projet de subvention d’une micro-entreprise Boryniec & Boryniec gérant la maison d’hôtes Belweder IV à Szklarska Poręba, afin de maintenir l’emploi et de mener des affaires. La pension Belweder IV est gérée dans un bâtiment vieux de 120 ans inscrit au registre des monuments. En raison de l’épidémie de Covid19 et du «blocage» national de février de cette année jusqu’en juin, nous n’avons pas accepté les invités, donc il y avait beaucoup d’arriérés sous forme de frais de location, de charges de déchets, de blanchisserie, de salaires des employés, etc. Les restrictions actuelles dans l’industrie hôtelière nous imposent des coûts supplémentaires élevés liés à la décontamination des chambres et de toutes les zones avec lesquelles nos clients ont contact. En outre, en raison de l’existence de dortoirs, nous avons un nombre limité de sièges offerts, pour cette raison, nous encourons également de grandes pertes. Tout cela constitue une situation très difficile, qui peut conduire à une réduction de l’emploi ou même à la fermeture de l’installation. Le besoin de chiffre d’affaires est nécessaire pour combler les arriérés financiers créés par le manque de clients et empêcher la création de nouveaux, en particulier pour nos employés.
Investigation of poorer bladder cancer survival in women in NSW, Australia: a data linkage study

To investigate the associations of a range of personal and clinical variables with bladder cancer survival in men and women in NSW to see if we could explain why bladder cancer survival is consistently poorer in women than in men.All 6880 cases of bladder cancers diagnosed in NSW between 2000 and 2008 were linked to hospital separation data and to deaths. Separate Cox proportional hazards regression models of hazard of bladder cancer death were constructed for those who did or did not undergo cystectomy.A total of 16% of patients with bladder cancer underwent cystectomy (16% of men and 15% of women). Women who underwent cystectomy were 26% more likely to die than men (hazard ratio [HR] 1.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00-1.59) after adjustment for age, stage, time from diagnosis to cystectomy, distance from treatment facility and country of birth. None of the above covariates had a material effect on the difference in hazard between women and men; however, when stratified by a history of cystitis, the adjusted hazard was 55% higher in women (HR 1.55, 95% CI 1.15-2.10) than in men with a history of cystitis while, in the absence of this history, there was no difference in the hazard between men and women (HR 0.99, 95% CI 0.57-1.70). This apparent modification of the effect of sex on bladder cancer outcome was not seen in patients treated only by resection: the adjusted HRs in women relative to men were 1.10 (95% CI 0.92-1.31) in those with a history of cystitis and 1.21 (95% CI 0.98-1.50) in those without. A history of haematuria did not modify appreciably the association of sex with bladder cancer outcome.Women's poorer survival from bladder cancer compared with that of men remains unexplained; however, the possibility that some factor associated with a history of cystitis may contribute to or explain the poorer outcome in women merits further investigation.
The Impact of Undernutrition on Intelligence Quotient and Impulsivity Index

Background: Undernutrition is the most common cause of growth retardation in developing countries. We aimed to assess the effect of undernutrition on cognition, intelligence quotient, and impulsivity index of 7-11 year-old children in Shiraz, southern Iran. Objectives: Our objective was to determine the association between chronic moderate undernutrition and poor Intelligence Quotient and Impulsivity Index. Patients and Methods: In this case-control study, two groups of school-aged children with the mean age of 9 Â± 0.98 years were enrolled. After controlling the confounding variables, 24 children with moderately chronic undernutrition (group 1) were compared to 17 normal children (group 2). We selected children based on growth parameters, evaluation of intensity, history, and by excluding underlying diseases. Intelligence quotient and draw-a-person tests were performed. We described data as mean and standard deviations, and used the t test for independent groups. Data was analyzed using SPSS software, version 11.5. Significance level was considered as 5%. Results: Only P5 (omissions) and P7 (relativities) parameters in the DAP test were significantly different. The Mean Â± SD in the undernourished and normal groups were respectively 0.91 Â± 0.28, 0.70 Â± 0.46 for p5 (P = 0.030), and 0.64 Â± 0.49, 0.35 Â± 0.49 for p7 (P = 0.024), and 17.8 Â± 1.89, 19 Â± 1.80 (P = 0.050) for spelling .For verbal intelligence quotient, (VIQ) were 115 Â± 9.7, and 113 Â± 10.6 (P = 0.528). For performance intelligence quotient, (PIQ) were 117 Â± 14.1, and 116 Â± 11.3 (P = 0.864). For total intelligence quotient, (TIQ) were 117 Â± 10.3, and 116 Â± 10.2 (P = 0.715). For impulsivity index were 5.3 Â± 2.8, and 4.3 Â± 2.6 (P = 0.256). Conclusions: Chronic and moderate malnutrition did not influence the cognitive function, the intelligence quotient, and the impulsivity index.
Antibiodx: a groundbreaking in vitro diagnostic device with a billion-dollar sales potential

When diagnosing bloodstream infection (BSI), 19th century blood culture is essentially still the gold standard method - despite the highly critical 1-2 days delay from sample to result. Many cases of BSI remain undertreated in the early and highly critical stage of the infection and patients risk sepsis, which is among the 10 most common causes of death in hospitals and the most expensive condition to treat. 
AntibioDx is a device that will deliver the diagnostic capability needed in 21st century healthcare for preventing sepsis and reducing healthcare cost. It will provide doctors with information about the specific pathogen causing BSI and its antimicrobial-resistance profile within 1 hour. Personalised treatment with the most effective antimicrobial will replace empirical treatment using broad-spectrum antibiotics. Lives and money will be saved and the growing problem with resistance to antibiotics will be reduced.
AntibioDx is a game changer with obvious gold standard and large sales potential. The clinical performance of the device is unrivalled and the possibility of using it with existing laboratory hardware facilitates full commercialisation in a market valued at 1 billion USD annually.
Experienced clinicians have greeted the AntibioDx device with strong interest but final clinical validation studies is needed for taking significant commercial steps and realising full sales potential.
The purpose of this Phase I application is to fully demonstrate proof-of-business and prepare the device for clinical validation as foundation for FDA approval. This work will be undertaken in collaboration with expert partners, including internationally renowned university hospitals in the EU and US.

In Vitro Synthesis of Betaxanthins Using Recombinant DOPA 4,5-Dioxygenase and Evaluation of Their Radical-Scavenging Activities

Betalamic acid, the chromophore of betaxanthins, was enzymatically synthesized on a large scale from l-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) using recombinant Mirabilis jalapa DOPA 4,5-dioxygenase. After synthesis, proline was directly added to the concentrated reaction mixture to generate proline-betaxanthin. The molecular mass and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the purified product were identical to those previously reported for proline-betaxanthin. Twenty-four betaxanthin species were synthesized by the condensation reaction of purified betalamic acid and amino acids or amines. An HPLC protocol was established for identifying the different betaxanthin species. Proline-, dopamine-, and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-betaxanthins were prepared as representative betaxanthins under large-scale conditions, and their 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical-scavenging activities were compared against those of known antioxidants. GABA-betaxanthin showed comparatively low activity, whereas dopamine-betaxanthin had similar activity to the red pigment betanin and the anthocyanin cyanidin 3-glucoside. Proline-betaxanthin had the highest activity of the three synthesized compounds and was similar to the flavonoid quercetin.
