Hacia un proyecto de paisaje desde el patrimonio territorial

A pesar del régimen de protección jurídica que adquiere el paisaje desde la entrada en vigor del Convenio Europeo del Paisaje y de la abundante producción científica y técnica derivada, creemos que aún hoy en día la controversia sobre su naturaleza compleja y las dificultades de integrar todas las dimensiones que lo definen disminuyen la efectividad de las acciones de protección, gestión u ordenación. En este escenario, presentamos el proyecto de paisaje desde el patrimonio territorial, un marco autónomo de referencia para orientar las estrategias de diseño que afectan al paisaje a la restauración de sus dinámicas de formación. Asumimos que esta restauración es necesaria para promover un desarrollo local autosostenible. La definición de este proyecto de paisaje se basa en la fundamentación y la metodología formuladas por la escuela territorialista florentina para el proyecto integrado de territorio, con las que entendemos que persigue el mismo fin. El objetivo de la investigación es establecer los términos metodológicos y el alcance geográfico que garantizan que toda estrategia en el marco del proyecto de paisaje se orienta a la restauración de las dinámicas de formación del paisaje. La definición surge de una síntesis de las conclusiones extraídas del análisis de la metodología analítica para la proyección identitaria del territorio y de un análisis del grado de correspondencia entre las estructuras de los planes paisajísticos de la Puglia y la Toscana y de esta metodología analítica.
An effective microwave-assisted extraction process for a natural biostimulant blend

As the global population grows, there is an increasing need to secure food production in a sustainable manner. One of the most promising innovations in agriculture, is the use of plant-beneficial microorganisms and substances known as biostimulants.  The use of biostimulants in has demonstrated great potential but current methods of biostimulant production yield low levels of biostimulant (grams), which makes widespread adoption difficult. Biostimulant producing companies currently face difficulties in extracting policosanols and TRIA from natural sources, in large quantities and at reasonable production costs. For industrial production of policosanols, only sugar cane, bees wax and fabaceae have proved promising. Sugar cane contains very low amounts of TRIA and the supercritical CO2 used to extract natural triacontanol content from Fabaceae is very expensive. The conventional extraction process from beeswax takes several hours and is resource-intensive. In response, Tydock Pharma, is upscaling an efficient biostimulant extraction process and a new potent biostimulant blend from beeswax. We are working in collaboration with pharmaceutical, agronomy, and research institutions to ensure success upscaling of our production process. Our production process is green, with no toxic by-products and has the potential to increase biostimulant production from current yields of a few grams to kilograms per cycle, enabling the universal application of biostimulants in increasing global food production, naturally. The production cycle is 20 minutes, which is more than 12 times faster than conventional production methods. This enables us to produce 98% more biostimulant than our competitors. We expect average cumulative profits of 15.2 million. A ROI of €10.9 per euro invested and 7 new employees for the first 5 years of commercialisation. We anticipate that by year 5, we would have captured 3.6% of the European biostimulant market share.

Pakistan, Growth, Dependency, and Crisis

Compared to the historical and even contemporary experience of India, Pakistan has long been regarded as a “dependent” economy. Gross domestic product growth in Pakistan is typically argued to be contingent on external factors: trade, financial flows, and the interdependence of asset markets. Beyond the rhetoric, there is only ambiguous and contradictory empirical evidence to support this view. This paper offers a new methodology, that of case studies of growth and stagnation, to test the hypothesis of dependency. The results show that growth in Pakistan is influenced by external factors, but that growth is driven primarily by the dynamics of the domestic economy.

"This project is part of the plan ALPIMED": “ALPIMED PATRIM suggests to bring out the touristic destination of the Alpes of Mediterranean, by building on its heritage assets and its geographical location between see and mountain. The project will allow to let’s now and to commercialise the destination in order to enforce its notoriety at European level and to increase the Eco touristic flux on territory. It’ll also allow to diversify the offer involving, in an innovative manner public structures, local touristic actors, inhabitants and professionals of travel, thorough the creation of ecotouristic’s products, around the roaming, bike tourism, natural, cultural and historical paths. So, partner would like to work for a bettering of current offer quality.

This PITER wants to co-build models of intervention on its territory in order to facilitate the emergence of a development schema at cross-border scale. The Plan wants to identify leviers and favourable conditions to local economic development of peripheric territories of mountain and rural, promoting in the same time territory advantages and exchanges. This plan will act on the following leviers: a better management of natural resources and a particular attention to climate change; valorisation of natural patrimony thorough eco-tourism; maintaining of a cross-border mobility and utilisation of innovation and access to information technologies to enforce the local economic.

Collective innovation for public transport in european cities

CIPTEC introduces an integrated approach which draws on the best ideas deriving from marketing (i.e. customer orientation, marketing research, consumer intelligence), consumer behaviour (i.e. advanced motivational research, behavioural experimentation), innovation (i.e. crowd sourcing, collective intelligence, co-creation and co-design of new ideas, fusion of business concepts with social innovation), evaluation (i.e. socioeconomic, technological and ethical) and co-exploitation within a wider than usual stakeholder platform attacking the challenges that hinder the public transport “environment” transition and re-orientation towards increasing PT market shares, thus substantially contributing to urban road congestion reduction in a sustainable manner.
In the frame of CIPTEC, we study the demand side and how its needs are affected by the continuous storm of change but we take a close look to the supply in an attempt to demystify the needs and understand the distinct challenges PT providers face in tackling the same changes.. We dig out and map promising existing innovation from PT and adjacent fields but we also put forth a collective intelligence subprogram to crowd-source and co-produce novel approaches to tackle underserved needs. We survey public transport users to appreciate the finer differences in preferences for the promising innovations but we dig deeper looking for motivation triggers able to achieve natural behaviour change – not only in the lab but in real life. We provide a translation-in-a-box of our results but we don’t wait for stakeholders to use them; we work with them to motivate and apply these insights into concrete street-action. We invite the broader community to cooperate along the value chain but we bring along an unexpected ally – social entrepreneurs - to build and apply disruptive models of sustainable and replicable value.
Our team is set to provide evidence and innovative tools for achieving growth in European public transport.
Abstractive Document Summarization with a Graph-Based Attentional Neural Model

Abstractive summarization is the ultimate goal of document summarization research, but previously it is less investigated due to the immaturity of text generation techniques. Recently impressive progress has been made to abstractive sentence summarization using neural models. Unfortunately, attempts on abstractive document summarization are still in a primitive stage, and the evaluation results are worse than extractive methods on benchmark datasets. In this paper, we review the difficulties of neural abstractive document summarization, and propose a novel graph-based attention mechanism in the sequence-to-sequence framework. The intuition is to address the saliency factor of summarization, which has been overlooked by prior works. Experimental results demonstrate our model is able to achieve considerable improvement over previous neural abstractive models. The data-driven neural abstractive method is also competitive with state-of-the-art extractive methods.

Citizen scientists investigating cookies and app gdpr compliance

The CSI-COP project will investigate GDPR compliance to better understand how far we are being tracked-by-default as we use the Internet visiting websites and apps on our mobile devices. CSI-COP will engage citizen scientists to address the growing concerns in society around privacy issues, and the methods that attempt to ensure integrity in the collection and use of data.
Regardless of background, a community of CSI-COP citizen scientists will be recruited from across Europe and beyond. A series of free-to-attend workshops and a MOOC will be developed with training material to informally educate about GDPR. CSI-COP’s community of citizen scientists will be a) fully trained to explore cookies and apps for embedded trackers, b) supported throughout their research, CSI-COP citizen scientists will investigate cookies on websites they normally visit, and apps on smart devices they use daily, and c) encouraged to record and report to the CSI-COP consortium the number and types of trackers they uncover in cookies and apps.
CSI-COP’s well connected eleven partner consortium made up of seven universities, one non-profit, two SMEs and one Association will promote and support the citizen scientists as role models, with the university partners inviting them post-project as pro-privacy champions.
The unique findings on digital trackers uncovered by the citizen scientists will be systematically mapped by CSI-COP consortium producing a taxonomy of trackers. The tracker taxonomy will be used to create an online repository. The repository will be available as an open-access knowledge resource on trackers embedded in cookies and apps. The knowledge resource will be a tool useful for a variety of stakeholders including data protection researchers, GDPR compliance regulators, tech journalists, software developers, parents, teachers, higher education curriculum developers, and any organisation that provides computers for public use such as libraries.
Isometric embeddings of 2-spheres into Schwarzschild manifolds

Let g be a Riemannian metric on the 2-sphere S2. Results on isometric embeddings of (S2, g) into a fixed model manifold often have implications in quasi-local mass related problems in general relativity. In this paper, motivated by the definitions of the Brown–York and the Wang–Yau mass, we consider isometric embeddings of (S2, g) into conformally flat spaces. We prove that if g is close to the standard metric on S2, then (S2, g) admits an isometric embedding into any spatial Schwarzschild manifold with small mass. We also give a sufficient condition that ensures isometric embeddings of perturbations of a Euclidean convex surface into \({\mathbb{R}^3}\) equipped with a conformally flat metric.
Management of Hyperglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes, 2022. A Consensus Report by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD)

The American Diabetes Association and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes convened a panel to update the previous consensus statements on the management of hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes in adults, published since 2006 and last updated in 2019. The target audience is the full spectrum of the professional health care team providing diabetes care in the U.S. and Europe. A systematic examination of publications since 2018 informed new recommendations. These include additional focus on social determinants of health, the health care system, and physical activity behaviors, including sleep. There is a greater emphasis on weight management as part of the holistic approach to diabetes management. The results of cardiovascular and kidney outcomes trials involving sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists, including assessment of subgroups, inform broader recommendations for cardiorenal protection in people with diabetes at high risk of cardiorenal disease. After a summary listing of consensus recommendations, practical tips for implementation are provided.
Character recognition based on non-linear multi-projection profiles measure

In this paper, we study a method for isolated handwritten or hand-printed character recognition using dynamic programming for matching the non-linear multi-projection profiles that are produced from the Radon transform. The idea is to use dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm to match corresponding pairs of the Radon features for all possible projections. By using DTW, we can avoid compressing feature matrix into a single vector which may miss information. It can handle character images in different shapes and sizes that are usually happened in natural handwriting in addition to difficulties such as multi-class similarities, deformations and possible defects. Besides, a comprehensive study is made by taking a major set of state-of-the-art shape descriptors over several character and numeral datasets from different scripts such as Roman, Devanagari, Oriya, Bangla and Japanese-Katakana including symbol. For all scripts, the method shows a generic behaviour by providing optimal recognition rates but, with high computational cost.
Políticas monetárias não convencionais nos EUA: análise empírica do período 2007-2019

O objetivo do presente artigo é analisar a eficácia das políticas monetárias não convencionais (PMNC) adotadas nos EUA após a crise de 2008, considerando sua capacidade de criar condições acomodatícias nos mercados financeiros e promover o emprego, sem prejudicar a estabilidade de preços. A hipótese a ser testada é de que em uma situação de alta instabilidade e baixas taxas de juros, os instrumentos não convencionais se mostraram eficazes diante dos objetivos propostos. Foram empregados testes de causalidade de Granger para avaliar a relação entre os instrumentos de PMNC e os objetivos intermediários e finais de política monetária. Os resultados indicam que os instrumentos não convencionais se mostraram mais influentes que os convencionais (especialmente a taxa básica de juros) sobre as variáveis que representam os resultados de política monetária, o que corrobora a necessidade do uso de PMNC. Ademais, sugerem que o Fed logrou estabilizar o sistema financeiro nos momentos de maior instabilidade e manter condições acomodatícias nos mercados, criando um ambiente propício à retomada econômica.
Production of Citric Acid

Citric acid is a six-carbon tricarboxylic acid, which was first isolated from lemon juice. It is used in the food and beverage industry for various purposes as pharmaceuticals and for other industrial uses. It is an organic carboxylic acid and can be extracted from the juice of citrus fruits by adding calcium oxide to form calcium citrate, which is an insoluble precipitate that can be collected by filtration; the citric acid can be recovered from its calcium salt by adding sulfuric acid. Citric acid is mainly produced by fungal fermentation. Chemical synthesis of citric acid is possible, but it is expensive than fungal fermentation. However, a small amount of citric acid is still produced from citrus fruits in Mexico and South America where they are available economically. There are two very common and practical fermentation processes used: the liquid surface culture and the submerged fermentation process. The second process—submerged culture fermentation—is more popular.

Kinetics and Equilibrium Swelling Properties of Hydrophilic Polymethacrylate Networks

Summary: Hydrogels were synthesized by polymerization of 2-Hydroxy ethylmethacrylate (HEMA) in the presence of ethyleneglycoldimethacrylate (EGDMA) as a crosslinking agent. Structural information and thermophysical properties of the hydrogels were analyzed using Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetrical analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. The swelling behaviour of the obtained chemically crosslinked P(HEMA-EGDMA) networks in aqueous solution was investigated as a function of the pH value and concentration of crosslinking agent. Plateau values were found at equilibrium swelling for a low pH value after one day swelling, whereas increasing water uptake was obtained for pH = 6.32 even at swelling times of more than five days. For short swelling times, a linear relationship between swelling ratio and time was found. Experimental data were rationalized using Fick's second law of diffusion. For early and moderate times of diffusion, threshold values were found in all cases considered here, indicating a Fickian behaviour below and a non-Fickian diffusion mechanism above the threshold.

Female Mixed Urinary Incontinence

Mixed urinary incontinence, a condition of both stress and urge urinary incontinence, is prevalent in 20% to 36% of women and is challenging to diagnosis and treat because urinary symptoms are variable and guidelines for treatment are not clear.To review the diagnosis and management of mixed urinary incontinence in women, with a focus on current available evidence.MEDLINE was searched from January 1, 1992, to December 31, 2013. Additional citations were obtained from references of the selected articles and reviews. Articles that discussed the prevalence, diagnosis, results, and treatment of mixed urinary incontinence were selected for review. Evidence was graded using Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine levels of evidence for treatment recommendations.The MEDLINE search resulted in 785 articles. After selection and obtainment of additional citations, a total of 73 articles were reviewed. There is high-quality (level 1) evidence for treating urinary incontinence with weight loss, for treating stress urinary incontinence by performing anti-incontinence procedures of both traditional and mid-urethral slings and retropubic urethropexies, and for managing urge urinary incontinence with anticholinergic medications. However, direct high-quality evidence for treatment of women with mixed urinary incontinence is lacking, as are clear diagnostic criteria and management guidelines.High-quality, level 1 evidence for urinary incontinence therapy can guide clinicians in the treatment of the components of mixed urinary incontinence. Because high-quality evidence is lacking regarding the treatment of mixed urinary incontinence, treatment generally begins with conservative management emphasizing the most bothersome component. Randomized trials in women with mixed urinary incontinence populations are needed.
Autonomous interfacial creation of nanostructured lead oxide

We first established a process for the autonomous creation of PbO nanostructures consisting of a simple three-step procedure for both the formation of Pb nanoparticles and their oxidation. Oxygen contacting aqueous media results in an autonomous conversion from electrodeposited Pb particles to PbO nanostructures; i) flower-like PbO structures are placed at the interface of water and oxygen, ii) the growth/burst of PbO nanowires in various directions is observed in the middle of water media, and iii) ultra-thin PbO nano-platelets are dominantly placed onto the substrate. A new mechanistic origin was also proposed based on experimental observations and further suggests that major requirements are essential for the autonomous creation of PbO nanostructures.
