HISTorical assets and related landsCAPE

Historic towns and their landscapes are a unique part of Europe’s identity. While Europe’s 500 million population is concentrated in larger settlements 80% of its territory is rural in character. These landscapes, developed over centuries, are home to a dispersed pattern of smaller historic towns. HISTCAPE focuses on these historical assets – some 4,500 small towns of under 20k population which have traditionally acted as community hubs - a focal point for economic activity and social cohesion. This role has come under serious threat over recent decades with outmigration, particularly of young people as a direct consequence of changing patterns of economic activity - adversely affecting demographic balance and sustainability. The ensuing loss of facilities and services combined with a loss of economic activity has resulted in a lack of investment in these communities and directly threatens the existence of much of Europe’s historic assets. This spiral of decline is at the heart
of the problem that HISTCAPE has identified. The current lack of regional and local policies relating to small historic towns needs to be addressed and tools developed to help to understand the value of heritage and facilitate its protection. HISTCAPE focuses on providing a platform and mechanisms for collection, exchange and transfer of experiences and views among the partner regions in order to find and test better solutions and tools for preservation of cultural heritage assets and related landscape situated in rural and scarcely populated territories accross Europe. HISTCAPE is particularly relevant to INTERREG IVC directly responding to the environmental risks associated with the survival of Europe’s dispersed historic assets. The sub theme of cultural heritage is at the core of the problems the project is aiming to address. Through regional cooperation it will fill a strategic policy gap improving the effectiveness of regional policies relating to cultural heritage in Europe’s
smaller settlements whose viability is now seriously under threat. A set of instruments are planned to enable exchange of experiences among regions such as Interregional Workshops, Study Visits and a Practitioners Forum on the website. It will identify good practice in sustainable management and ensure they transfer into regional Implementation Plans that are capable of accessing the structural funds – providing a catalyst for further public and private sector investment alongside the empowerment of local communities. Europe wide impact is expected through the events, website and the Practitioners Forum. The HISTCAPE partnership is composed by 12 partners with several years of experience in both managing Cultural Heritage and Rural Development: 3 regional development agencies, 5 regional authorities, 1 local authority, 1 European institution, 1 research centre and 1 University. The partnership comprises 12 partners from 11 different EU countries and representing 10 regions.
ATENDIMENTO PSICOTERAPÊUTICO COGNITIVO-COMPORTAMENTAL: UM RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA NO CONTEXTO DA CLÍNICA-ESCOLA

A Terapia Cognitivo-Comportamental (TCC) surgiu no começo da década de 1960, idealizada por Aaron T. Beck, que buscava validação empírica para a abordagem vigente na época: a psicanálise, porém, Beck acabou descobrindo nesse processo, que a depressão, por exemplo, estava associada a distorções cognitivas, como pensamentos e crenças disfuncionais. Diante da descoberta Aaron Beck desenvolveu um tratamento estruturado, que visa modificar pensamentos e comportamentos que prejudicam a vida do indivíduo, através da testagem da validade desses pensamentos e crenças. Neste sentido, este artigo teve como objetivo apresentar a história da paciente, assim como as técnicas cognitivas e comportamentais utilizadas ao longo do tratamento, realizadas pela acadêmica do curso de psicologia na Clínica Escola de Psicologia do Instituto de Ensino Superior e Formação Avançada de Vitória – IESFAVI, Vitória, durante o período de estágio em 2022. Dessa forma, em cinco sessões, foi possível verificar resultados positivos, pois a paciente apresentou melhora significativa, tanto nas avaliações de humor, como em seus relatos comportamentais. Assim, o estágio permitiu o desenvolvimento da prática na abordagem Terapia Cognitivo-comportamental, com o que foi estudado na teoria, empregando de instrumentos e técnicas cientificamente evidenciadas, segundo a questão apresentada.
Microbiologically Induced Calcite Precipitation Mediated by &lt;em&gt;Sporosarcina pasteurii&lt;/em&gt;

The particular bacterium under investigation here (S. pasteurii) is unique in its ability, under the right conditions, to induce the hydrolysis of urea (ureolysis) in naturally occurring environments through secretion of an enzyme urease. This process of ureolysis, through a chain of chemical reactions, leads to the formation of calcium carbonate precipitates. This is known as Microbiologically Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP). The proper culture protocols for MICP are detailed here. Finally, visualization experiments under different modes of microscopy were performed to understand various aspects of the precipitation process. Techniques like optical microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray Photo-electron Spectroscopy (XPS) were employed to chemically characterize the end-product. Further, the ability of these precipitates to clog pores inside a natural porous medium was demonstrated through a qualitative experiment where sponge bars were used to mimic a pore-network with a range of length scales. A sponge bar dipped in the culture medium containing the bacterial cells hardens due to the clogging of its pores resulting from the continuous process of chemical precipitation. This hardened sponge bar exhibits superior strength when compared to a control sponge bar which becomes compressed and squeezed under the action of an applied external load, while the hardened bar is able to support the same weight with little deformation.
Evaluation of the new vacuum infiltration vitrification (viv) cryopreservation technique for native Australian plant shoot tips.

The application of a vacuum during the incubation in cryoprotective agents such as PVS2 allows for increased penetration, reducing total incubation times required before vitrification and post-cryopreservation regeneration is achieved.This study compared a conventional droplet-vitrification protocol to the new vacuum infiltration vitrification protocol in four Australian plant species.The new vacuum infiltration vitrification applied an 80 kPa vacuum during incubations in loading solution and PVS2. Infiltration of the cryoprotective agents into shoot tips was determined by differential scanning calorimetry measuring ice formation in the thermographs comparing a range of loading solution and PVS2 incubation times.The application of the vacuum infiltration vitrification technique resulted in a significantly reduced PVS2 incubation time for cryogenic survival and regeneration for all four species, reducing the time needed to adequately protect shoot tips by half to a quarter when compared to a conventional droplet-vitrification technique.
Reliability analysis of structures with complex limit state functions using probability density evolution method

In reliability-based structural analysis and design optimization, there exist some limit state functions exhibiting disjoint failure domains, multiple design points and discontinuous responses. This study addresses this type of challenging problem of reliability assessment of structures with complex limit state functions based on the probability density evolution method (PDEM). Probability density function (PDF) of stochastic structures under static and dynamic loads can be acquired, which is independent of the specific form of limit state functions. Numerical results of several typical examples illustrate that, the time-invariant and instantaneous PDF curves and failure probabilities of stochastic structures with disjoint failure domains, multiple design points and discontinuous responses are calculated effectively and accurately. Moreover, the PDEM is validated to be more efficient than the Monte Carlo simulation and the subset simulation, and is a feasible and general approach to tackle the reliability analysis of complicated problems. In addition, the influence of random design parameters of structures on uncertainty propagation is also scrutinized.
Cracking the nucleo-olivary code

For animals and humans to be successful in their environments, their motor and cognitive behavior must be adjusted to the constantly changing reality at a millisecond-timescale. For example, it is fairly simple for a brain to determine which muscles need to be activated to catch a falling object, but much harder to determine when and for how long. Without correct timing of the executive brain functions, as happens in some neurological disorders, the individual is unable to produce smooth and accurate movements and will also have difficulties with a range of cognitive functions requiring orchestration of distinct mental operations. The tripartite olivo-cerebellar system (OCS), which is formed by the inferior olive (IO), cerebellar cortex
(CCTX) and cerebellar nuclei (CN), is considered critical for generating proper timing for many motor and cognitive operations. Interestingly, all three areas, IO, CTX and CN, have intrinsic oscillatory properties and together they constitute a reverberating microcircuit, beating with well-timed responses to requests from the sensorimotor system. The ultimate timing of the output of this system, by which it imposes its effects upon the rest of the brain, is mediated by the CN. Indeed, decades of research on the OCS has resulted in detailed concepts as to how it may generate and control computations with high temporal complexity. However, due to methodological difficulties the function of the nucleo-olivary (NO) pathway, which links the CN with the IO, has been neglected, hindering completion of the cerebellar theory. To crack the relevant temporal
codes of this loop I have developed specific viral optogenetic tools that allow for targeted control of the NO pathway. Using them I will define the NO interactions that take place during behavior and learning, and examine how these interactions are perturbed in neurological disorders.
Models of phase stability in Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity

We construct solutions within Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity in the presence of nontrivial couplings between the dilaton and the Abelian $1$-form where we analyse the asymptotic structure as well as the phase stability corresponding to charged black hole solutions in $1+1$ D. We consider the Almheiri-Polchinski (AP) model as a specific example within $1+1$ D JT gravity which plays a pivotal role in the study of Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK)/anti-de Sitter (AdS) duality. The corresponding vacuum solutions exhibit a rather different asymptotic structure than their uncharged counterpart. We find interpolating vacuum solutions with AdS$_2$ in the IR and Lifshitz$_2$ in the UV with dynamical exponent $z_{\text{dyn}}=3/2$. Interestingly, the presence of charge also modifies the black hole geometry from asymptotically AdS to asymptotically Lifshitz with same value of the dynamical exponent. We consider specific examples, where we compute the corresponding free-energy and explore the thermodynamic phase stability associated with charged black hole solutions in $1+1$ D. Our analysis reveals the existence of a universal thermodynamic feature that is expected to reveal its immediate consequences on the dual SYK physics at finite density and strong coupling.
A taxonomy of process calculi for distribution and mobility

In this paper, we comparatively analyze some mainstream calculi for mobility and distribution, together with some of their variants: asynchronous π-calculus, distributed π-calculus, and some dialects of Mobile/Boxed/Safe ambients. In particular, we focus on their relative expressive power, i.e. we try to encode every language in the other while respecting some reasonable properties. According to the possibility or the impossibility for such results, we set up a taxonomy of these languages. Our study enables understanding, for every pair of calculi, which features of one can be rendered in the other and how this is possible, or which features cannot be rendered and why this is impossible.
Mechanism and functional impact of ultra-long 3’ utrs in the drosophila nervous system

Neurons employ cell-specific gene regulatory mechanisms. One particularly striking process is the recently discovered, drastic lengthening of the 3’ untranslated region (3’ UTR) of hundreds of genes, which occurs in neurons from flies to humans. The function of the resulting ultra-long 3’ UTRs is unknown. RNA deregulation plays a central role in neurological diseases; to understand underlying causes, it is essential to study regulatory processes and define the function of these novel 3’ UTRs.
In Drosophila, the neuronal RNA-binding protein ELAV is the main effector of nervous system specific 3’ UTR extension. ELAV’s association with the promoter region of its target genes is required for synthesis of alternative, ultra-long 3’ UTRs. The mechanistic framework of this novel and exciting link between transcription initiation and alternative 3’ end processing is not understood yet.
We hypothesise that mRNAs carrying ultra-long 3’ UTRs create an important communication avenue between transcription regulation and synaptic function. In this proposal, we will study the regulation of ELAV-mediated 3’ UTR extension in a Drosophila model. First, we will provide mechanistic insight into the co-transcriptional processes that give rise to ultra-long 3’ UTRs. Employing genomics, proteomics and biochemistry, we will study the recruitment of ELAV at gene promoters and to nascent mRNA. Second, we will follow the journey of extended mRNAs from their site of synthesis to their destination using imaging, proteomics, and functional genetics. Finally, based on our unpublished results that 3’ UTR plasticity impacts neuronal function, we will analyse the role of ultra-long 3’ UTRs in memory, aging and disease.
Our study will integrate the molecular mechanisms that govern biogenesis and function of ultra-long 3’ UTRs, from nucleus to synapse, in an animal model. The results of this research will create a major impact on our understanding of neuronal gene regulation in health and disease.
Conhecimento local de agricultores familiares sobre árvores nativas em pastagens do Portal da Amazônia, MT

A pecuária extensiva é uma das principais causas de desmatamento e perda de biodiversidade em regiões de fronteira agrícola como o Portal da Amazônia, região Norte de Mato Grosso. A pré-disposição de agricultores em incluir árvores em pastagens depende de sua percepção positiva sobre elas, e pode subsidiar a construção de novos sistemas produtivos, que melhorem estrutural e funcionalmente a paisagem da região. Estudamos a percepção de 39 agricultores familiares, de quatro municípios da região do Portal da Amazônia, sobre os benefícios das árvores em pastagens, avaliando seu potencial para sistemas silvipastoris. Realizamos a caracterização de pastagens sombreadas, o levantamento das espécies arbóreas nativas e o registro e avaliação do conhecimento e percepção dos agricultores sobre elas. Conduzimos oficinas comunitárias para definição de espécies arbóreas consideradas chave, sua caracterização dendrométrica e levantamento bibliográfico sobre o potencial em sistemas silvipastoris. A avaliação das pastagens apontou predomínio de espécies de braquiária (Urochloa spp.) e baixa adoção de práticas de manejo. Mapeamos 1875 árvores (com densidade entre 0,29 e 45,8 indivíduos/hectare) e identificadas 129 espécies. As principais motivações dos agricultores para manter árvores nas pastagens foram o fornecimento de sombra para os animais (94,8%), melhoria do solo (69,2%) e geração de renda com sementes (25,6%). As espécies de maior interesse foram Samanea tubolosa, Handronthus serratifolius, Apeiba tibourbou, Maclura tinctoria e Platymiscium floribundum. Os resultados apontam possibilidades para o uso de espécies arbóreas nativas em pastagens, contribuindo com a reintrodução do componente arbóreo e da biodiversidade nativa em sistemas produtivos. Demonstram o potencial de sistemas silvipastoris com espécies arbóreas nativas como alternativas aos modelos convencionais de produção na região, contribuindo com uma nova forma de se compreender os sistemas pecuários e com o desenvolvimento local e regional no Portal da Amazônia.
Enabling robot adaptive behaviours for ndt inspections in dynamic contexts

A step change in the methods of inspection and measurement data, collected through robotic systems, is required to enable the next generation of intelligent systems to penetrate the manufacturing and construction industries. Dr Carmelo Mineo is an expert in state-of-the-art robotic ultrasonic inspection systems and in advanced software and graphical user interfaces. The project will allow a new generation of integrated robotic approaches for inspection of industrial production. As a member of the Department of Industrial and Digital Innovation (DIID), and through collaboration with supervisor Prof Donatella Cerniglia, Dr Mineo seeks to address a technology gap between research and industrial exploitation. His work will facilitate the migration of fundamental research, developed by the University of Palermo, towards higher technology readiness levels. The aim is to automate promising quality assessment techniques, in which DIID has a strong international reputation, using robotic manipulators. Although there are some examples of robotic inspection systems, developed by others, it is necessary to improve sensor integration, data fusion and enable real-time data processing, in order to fulfil the real meaning of autonomy and decision making in manufacturing. The proposed research is aligned with the requirements set by the nascent Industry 4.0. A two-month secondment phase, at a growing company (RECENDT, Austria), will increase the researcher’s cross-sectorial experience. The project includes vibrant opportunities of knowledge transfer and training for the development of the researcher and the hosts as well as clear plans to disseminate the project outcomes to different audiences.
An efficient and safe process for the preparation of ticagrelor, a platelet aggregation inhibitor via resin-NO2 catalyzed formation of triazole ring

An efficient, safe and improved process for the preparation of ticagrelor 1, a platelet aggregation inhibitor is described. Synthesis comprises the condensation of pyrimidine amine derivative 14 with cyclopentyl derivative 13 in ethylene glycol followed by construction of triazole compound 16 by diazotization of the obtained intermediate 15 with a green and safer reagent "Resin-NO2" in water and acetonitrile mixture. Condensation of 16 with cyclopropylamine derivative 10 followed by deprotection of compound 12 with hydrochloric acid in dichloromethane (DCM) furnished ticagrelor 1 with an overall yield of 65 % and purity of 99.78 % by HPLC. Each reaction stage was optimized independently to establish the scalable and plant friendly process. An efficient and a safe process for key intermediate 14 which involve nitration reaction has also been developed. Safety parameters were established by understanding the thermal events of the reaction by DSC analysis.Graphical abstractSynthesis of ticagrelor via resin-NO2 catalysed formation of triazole ring.
Tsunami Modeling to Validate Slip Models of the 2007 M w 8.0 Pisco Earthquake, Central Peru

Following the 2007, August 15th, M
 w
 8.0, Pisco earthquake in central Peru, Sladen
 et al. (J Geophys Res 115: B02405, 2010) have derived several slip models of this event. They inverted teleseismic data together with geodetic (InSAR) measurements to look for the co-seismic slip distribution on the fault plane, considering those data sets separately or jointly. But how close to the real slip distribution are those inverted slip models? To answer this crucial question, the authors generated some tsunami records based on their slip models and compared them to DART buoys, tsunami records, and available runup data. Such an approach requires a robust and accurate tsunami model (non-linear, dispersive, accurate bathymetry and topography, etc.) otherwise the differences between the data and the model may be attributed to the slip models themselves, though they arise from an incomplete tsunami simulation. The accuracy of a numerical tsunami simulation strongly depends, among others, on two important constraints: (i) A fine computational grid (and thus the bathymetry and topography data sets used) which is not always available, unfortunately, and (ii) a realistic tsunami propagation model including dispersion. Here, we extend Sladen’s work using newly available data, namely a tide gauge record at Callao (Lima harbor) and the Chilean DART buoy record, while considering a complete set of runup data along with a more realistic tsunami numerical that accounts for dispersion, and also considering a fine-resolution computational grid, which is essential. Through these accurate numerical simulations we infer that the InSAR-based model is in better agreement with the tsunami data, studying the case of the Pisco earthquake indicating that geodetic data seems essential to recover the final co-seismic slip distribution on the rupture plane. Slip models based on teleseismic data are unable to describe the observed tsunami, suggesting that a significant amount of co-seismic slip may have been aseismic. Finally, we compute the runup distribution along the central part of the Peruvian coast to better understand the wave amplification/attenuation processes of the tsunami generated by the Pisco earthquake.
