Improving the preparedness of health systems to reduce mental health and psychosocial concerns resulting from the covid-19 pandemic

The mission of RESPOND is 1) to identify critical resilience factors and specific vulnerable groups at risk of immediate and long-term adverse mental health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; 2) To improve the resilience, wellbeing and mental health of frontline health and care workers and other vulnerable groups by implementing scalable World Health Organization (WHO) programmes, and 3) to steer future policy decisions by understanding and disentangling the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and different public health containment and subsequently relaxation strategies on mental health and wellbeing in vulnerable groups across Europe’s different health systems.
RESPOND is centred around core questions regarding the short and long-term impacts of the pandemic on mental health and health inequalities on vulnerable groups within the general population, including frontline workers. In the first immediate delivery phase, an impressive set of existing longitudinal datasets are examined for resilience factors and risk factors. Furthermore, the responsiveness of health systems and identification of best practice responses that protect resilience, mental health and wellbeing are assessed in eight EU countries. 
The long-terms effects are determined of the pandemic and the control measures on demand for (mental) health services in health registers in Sweden, Lombardy and Barcelona and the scalable WHO SH+/PM+ stepped care programmes adapted for COVID-19 will be implemented and evaluated both in frontline workers and vulnerable groups.
RESPOND provides policy recommendations within 3 months on vulnerability factors for developing poor mental health resulting from current containment and mitigation measures. Further lessons learnt and evidence-based policy recommendations will be made available during the project’s lifetime through Policy Briefs in month 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 for immediate consideration and use by all EU member states.

Ngi zero - privacy enhancing technologies

The NGI vision clearly identifies major social and economic challenges that need to be addressed urgently, and articulates a powerful vision for a new phase of the internet. It tries to create an Internet of Human Values, that is resilient, trustworthy and sustainable. The overall mission of the Next Generation Internet initiative is to re-imagine and re-engineer the Internet for the third millennium and beyond. We have an ambitious project in support of that vision that wants to have an actual real-world impact at the system level.   We will provide an agile, effective and low-threshold funding mechanism to enable individual researchers and developers as well as small teams to research and develop important new ideas that contribute to the NGI. We build on decades of experience to make this very simple and user-friendly, to allow clueful and committed people to focus on delivering solutions to important problems.   Unique to our project is that - built on this experience - we will provide a greenhouse environment for the projects and teams that are funded within NGI. We aim to complement the knowledge and skill set of the project proposers with world class domain experts in various fields, such as accessibility, engineering secure software, localisation, software license compliance, packaging, responsible disclosure, documentation, etc . We provide guidance and mentoring to tackle each of these topics.   We have the support of (and are directly engaging with) the major constituencies in the internet area: the European association of research networks (GÉANT), the open source community (FSFE), the digital rights community (EDRi), the regional internet registry (RIPE), the hosting companies (ECO, DHPA), the internet exchanges (EURO-ix), the web standards community (W3C), embedded systems manufacturers for industry (OSADL), open hardware community (FOSSI), and more.  Let’s together re-invent Internet to reach the full human potential, for all generations.
[Silencing hypoxia inducible factor-2α gene by small interference RNA inhibits the growth of mammosphere cells in nude mice under hypoxic microenvironment].

To explore the effects of silencing hypoxia inducible factor-2α (HIF-2α) by small interference RNA on the growth of mammosphere cells in nude mice under hypoxic microenvironment.The empty and interference vectors were transfected into MCF-7 cell. Then G418 was added to screen the positive cells to obtain stable cell line. The empty and interference vectors were inoculated subcutaneously into left and right back near hind limb of nude mice. The volume and weight of tumors were calculated respectively. The expressions of HIF-2α, CD44, OCT-4 and KLF-4 protein in xenograft tumor tissues were detected by Western blot.The expression vector of HIF-2α-siRNA was successfully established. The formation of mammosphere was lowered by silencing HIF-2α gene expression. In contract to empty vector group cell, there were obvious decreases in the volumes and weights of tumors in interference group (P < 0.05). The expression of HIF-2α protein of interference group (0.42 ± 0.01) was much lower than that of the empty vector group (0.89 ± 0.03, P < 0.05), the expression of CD44 protein of interference group (0.21 ± 0.01) was much lower than the empty vector group (0.78 ± 0.03, P < 0.05), the expression of OCT-4 protein of interference group (0.42 ± 0.01)was much lower than the empty vector group (0.68 ± 0.03, P < 0.05) and the expression of KLF-4 protein of interference group (0.34 ± 0.01) was much lower than the empty vector group (0.72 ± 0.03, P < 0.05).Silencing HIF-2α gene can effectively inhibit the growth of breast cancer stem cells in nude mice under hypoxic microenvironment. Its mechanism may be through inhibited capacity for self-renewal and proliferation of breast cancer stem cells in vivo through the down-regulated expressions of markers associated with stem cells. HIF-2α is expected to become a new target for gene therapy of breast cancer.
Distance to Frontier and New Import Growth

In a panel-data study involving product-level import data for 48 developing countries that underwent substantial trade liberalization between 1989 and 2001, this study finds that the growth of trade in new goods imported following major trade liberalization is related to the state of technology that existed just before liberalization. The study develops two new measures of the extensive margin. Findings indicate that greater is the distance of a country from the world technology frontier, the faster is its growth of new goods imports. This indicates a higher cost of trade protection for countries further away from the world technology frontier.
Land-sea interaction: coastal state and evolution in CADSES

The complex ensemble of natural marine, terrestrial, atmospheric processes that determine the "state" of coastal areas is the result of a statistical balance which is subject to both natural and anthropogenic changes. It is of vital importance, for the preservation and management of coastal areas, to be able to detect signs of trend in the coast state as well as to identify the nature and origin of the detected trends. This, in order to be able to successfully address management interventions (including preservation and defence ones) in full respect of economic and social interests that are, almost invariably, touched in such connections. Given the mentioned complexity of coastal dynamics, trends in a statistical process have to be detected. The project is developed simultaneously along two lines: - a "horizontal" integration line along actions will be developed - aimed at stimulating public institutions to define and develop guidelines for coastal management based on a land-sea integrated view of coastal areas; a particular effort will be devoted to fulfilling the recommendations of European Parliament and Council concerning the implementation of Integrated Coastal Zone Management in Europe (2002/413/EC); - ·a "vertical" intervention line along actions will be developed on specific coastal areas aimed at maintaining from the start connection with concrete territorial problems The results expected are essentially: guidelines for coast protection and management based on an integrated land-sea culture of coastal areas, on a general view of coastal areas in southern Europe, on specific experiences in the Italian and Greek basins.
In VitroVitamin K3Effect on Conjunctival Fibroblast Migration and Proliferation

Purpose . To evaluate the dose effect of vitamin K 3 on wound healing mechanisms. Methods . Conjunctival fibroblasts were incubated for 24 hours. An artificial wound was made and the cells were incubated with fresh medium plus doses of vitamin K 3 to be tested. Wound repair was monitored at 0, 18, 24, and 48 hours. Proliferation was measured in actively dividing cells by [ 3 H]thymidine uptake. Six different groups were tested: group 1/no drugs added, group 2/ethanol 0.1%, group 3/vitamin K 3 1 mg/L, group 4/vitamin K 3 2 mg/L, group 5/vitamin K 3 4 mg/L, and group 6/vitamin K 3 6 mg/L. Each experiment was carried out in triplicate and 4 times. Results . There were no differences among groups at the initial time. In vitro wound repair was slower in groups 4, 5, and 6. There were no differences between control and ethanol groups and between control and vitamin K 3 1 mg/L groups. Fibroblast mitogenic activity was statistically decreased in all vitamin K groups; statistical differences were found among vitamin K 3 1 mg/mL and higher doses too. In groups 5 and 6, cellular toxicity was presented. Conclusions . Vitamin K 3 is able to inhibit fibroblast proliferation. Vitamin K 3 2 mg/L or higher doses inhibit wound healing repair, exhibiting cellular toxicity at 4 and 6 mg/L.
Urban dynamics: learning from integrated models and big data

City growth is driven by a combination of systematic determinants and shocks. Random growth models predict realistic city size distributions but ignore, for instance, the strong empirical association between human capital and city growth. Models with systematic determinants predict degenerate size distributions. We will develop an integrated model that combines systematic and random determinants to explain the link between human capital, entrepreneurship and growth, while generating relevant city size distributions. We will calibrate the model to quantify the contribution of cities to aggregate growth.
Urban growth also has a poorly understood spatial component. Combining gridded data of land use, population, businesses and roads for 3 decennial periods we will track the evolution of land use in the US with an unprecedented level of spatial detail. We will pay particular attention to the magnitude and causes of “slash-and-burn” development: instances when built-up land stops meeting needs in terms of use and intensity and, instead of being redeveloped, it is abandoned while previously open space is built up.
Job-to-job flows across cities matter for efficiency and during the recent crisis they have plummeted. We will study them with individual social security data. Even if there have only been small changes in mismatch between unemployed workers and vacancies during the crisis, if workers shy away from moving to take a job in another city, misallocation can increase substantially.
We will also study commuting flows for Spain and the UK based on anonymized cell phone location records. We will identify urban areas by iteratively aggregating municipalities if more than a given share of transit flows end in the rest of the urban area. We will also measure the extent to which people cross paths with others opening the possibility of personal interactions, and assess the extent to which this generates productivity-enhancing agglomeration economies.
Prevalence of Hepatitis B co-infection amongst HIV infected children attending a care and treatment centre in Owerri, South-eastern Nigeria

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis B infection impacts negatively on disease progression in HIV infected children thereby increasing morbidity and mortality. In spite of the foregoing, data on Hepatitis B co-infection in children living with HIV in South Eastern Nigeria is scarce. This study set out to determine the prevalence of Hepatitis B Co- infection in HIV infected children attending the Paediatric HIV Care and Treatment clinic of the Federal Medical Centre Owerri. METHODS: Study period was between February and July 2010. Testing for Hepatitis B infection was done using the ACON Hepatitis B surface antigen Rapid test strip. (Acon Laboratories Inc. San Diego.CA) on HIV infected children attending the Paediatric HIV Care and Treatment clinic of the Federal Medical Centre Owerri. RESULTS: A total of 139 HIV infected children were enrolled during the study period. The overall prevalence of Hepatitis B Co- infection was 5.8% (8/139). The prevalence in males was 8.2% (5/61) while in females it was 3.8% (3/78). The prevalence of Hepatitis B Co- infection amongst patients on antiretroviral therapy was 4.6%. They accounted for 62.5% of Hepatitis B Co- infection in our study. Previous blood transfusion, gender and age did not show significant relationship with Hepatitis B Co-infection. CONCLUSION: The high prevalence of Hepatitis B Co- infection in our study poses an intense treatment challenge because suggested drug combinations in patients with HIV and Hepatitis B infections are not commonly available in resource challenged centres like ours. It would appear then that our best option would be to prevent Hepatitis B infection in both HIV infected and un-infected children. This can be achieved by strengthening the uptake of Hepatitis B vaccine which is already incorporated in the National Programme on Immunization (NPI) in Nigeria.
A recepção das obras póstumas (1887-1889)

Em 1887, Eugène Crépet revela uma coleção de textos inéditos de Baudelaire. Na imprensa, muitos artigos permitem medir o lugar ocupado pelo poeta na França vinte anos após sua morte. Aclamado como o precursor do decadentismo e do simbolismo, Baudelaire permanece para seus detratores um poeta imoral, doentio e artificial.
Spaces for Solidarity and Individualism in Educational Contexts

Foreword

For children and youth, as citizens in a society, being a part of educational systems means being involved in a community. Through participation in educational systems, there is important learning about the self and others, both for individual development and social solidarity. Individual development and social solidarity are interrelated. These are important values in education at all levels. Individuals are social beings and are necessarily interdependent on others. Nevertheless, individualism and social solidarity are values that sometimes can diverge and come into conflict. These values can be defined and interpreted in various ways. In a time of neo-liberalism, for example, where individual choices and rights are put at the forefront of the societal and educational discourses in many countries it is relevant to raise questions on how issues of solidarity and individualism are interpreted and negotiated in education. What kind of shape and definitions do these concepts take when schools and preschools live under the intense pressures for the accountability of educational outcomes(Biesta, 2009)? Under what conditions can values, such as solidarity and individualism, co-exist and develop in multicultural and globalized societies, without one dominating the other...
EFFICIENCY ENHANCEMENT OF SOLAR CELLS USING LIGHT MANAGEMENT

A photovoltaic cell includes a junction, formed from an n-type semiconductor material and a p-type semiconductor material, a trench, opening toward the light-incident side of the junction, for trapping reflected light, and two photon conversion layers. A first photon conversion layer, arranged at the light-incident side of the junction, converts photons from a higher energy to a lower energy suitable for absorption by the semiconductor material, and a second photon conversion layer, arranged at the opposite side of the junction, converts photons from a lower energy to a higher energy suitable for absorption by the semiconductor material.

What counts as racist immigration policy?

Culling the Masses is a rich, methodologically ambitious book, which sheds much needed light on the factors that influence the adoption and repeal of racist immigration policies across the Americas. Contrary to previous accounts that suggest that the end of racial selection in immigration policy began as a domestic issue in the United States and Australia and then spread elsewhere, FitzGerald and Cook-Martin “find that geopolitical factors were the main drivers of the demise of racial selection.” The sustained attention to the international forces that shape domestic immigration policy—and the means through which they do so—is an invaluable contribution of this excellent book. Culling the Masses also demonstrates that democracy and racist immigration laws not only co-existed comfortably with each other, they have also been causally connected. Somewhat less convincing, however, is the assertion that liberal democracies essentially abandoned racist immigration laws at the end of the 1960s.
Landslide risk zoning in Ruijin, Jiangxi, China

Abstract. Landslides are one of the major geohazards threatening human society. This study was aimed at conducting such a hazard risk prediction and zoning based on an efficient machine learning approach, Random Forest (RF), for Ruijin, Jiangxi, China. Multiple geospatial and geo-environmental data such as land cover, NDVI, landform, rainfall, stratigraphic lithology, proximity to faults, to roads and to rivers, depth of the weathered crust, etc., were utilized in this research. After pre-processing, including digitization, linear feature buffering and value assignment, 19 hazard-causative factors were eventually produced and converted into raster to constitute a 19-band geo-environmental dataset. 155 observed landslides that had truly taken places in the past 10 years were utilized to establish a vector layer. 70 % of the disaster sites (points) were randomly selected to compose a training set (TS) and the remained 30 % to form a validation set (VS). A number of non-risk samples were identified in low slope (
Second arctic science ministerial

In response to the achievements of the US-administration under the first Arctic Science Ministerial (ASM1), the European Commission, the Republic of Finland and the Federal Republic of Germany agreed to co-host the second (ASM2) in the autumn of 2018. The Ministerial will not be an Arctic Council event, but connection is ensured by one of the organisers, Finland, holding the chairmanship of the Arctic Council between May 2017 and May 2019. The four themes discussed at the ASM1 and the relevant deliverables will be subjects of the Ministerial discussion in 2018 together with new themes that the organisers and the scientific community will identify as prominent. All the delegations present at the ASM1 will be invited along with other governments engaging in Arctic Science. The participation of indigenous communities from the Arctic region is considered a priority. Their traditional knowledge and understanding of their natural environment is an essential element which contributes significantly to scientific understanding. Representatives of different Arctic community organizations from various Arctic countries around the world will be invited to take part in the Ministerial. The ASM2 will take place over two days. On the first day, a Science Conference will showcase the latest achievements in relation with the deliverables agreed under the thematic areas defined by the Washington White House Conference in 2016. Scientific advances presented in the ASM1 deliverables, as well as a necessary future commitment, will be the core of the discussion, open to many different stakeholders, policy-makers, NGOs, media. These discussions will prepare the ground for the high-level segment that will take place the second day. The release of a Joint Statement will be one of the main objectives of the Ministerial meeting together with a report on the actions implemented in the previous two years and an updated list of deliverables that will generate results in the following years.
The Adaptiveness of IWRM: Analysing European IWRM research

The Adaptiveness of IWRM provides new insights and knowledge on the challenges and solutions that current water management faces in a situation of complexity and uncertainty. Drawing on the available results from a wide range of European research projects under several framework programmes, the book provides an overview of the state of the art in European research on Integrated Water Resources Management on the topics of Participation, Transboundary regimes, Economics, Vulnerability, Climate change, Advanced monitoring, Spatial planning, and the Social dimensions of water management. The achievements of EU research projects are considered in view of the extent to which IWRM responds to the current complexity and uncertainty water management is facing. These achievements are positioned in a wider context of worldwide developments in the respective topics which account for the future challenges. From this, the book concludes with the required focus of European research in the near future and promotes the concept of Adaptive Water Management as the preferred direction for the development of IWRM. The book presents the achievements of European IWRM research on a range of water management topics and offers conclusions and recommendations for research foci that will be invaluable to water managers, policy-makers and academic researchers working in the field of IWRM.
