Sustainable and De-Stressed International Supply-Chains Through the SYNCHRO-NET Approach

Synchro-modal supply chain eco-NET (SYNCHRO-NET) is a Horizon 2020 European research project aimed at overcoming the stress due to the increasing transportation distances, the higher complexity, and the vulnerability of international supply chains. In order to foster sustainability, quality, and reliability of such supply chains, SYNCHRO-NET mainly exploits the impact and the possible benefits coming from slow/smart-steaming and synchro-modality transportation strategies, and the related business models. The aim of this paper is to summarize and disseminate the main developments and scientific contributions coming from the project. In particular, the working core of the SYNCHRO-NET solution is an integrated and cloud-based eco-system of optimization and simulation software modules that supports stakeholders’ decisions in freight transportation and logistics management at strategic, operational, and real-time levels. The platform has achieved a high grade of automation in several processes to overcome all the issues related to human-based operations. The efficiency and effectiveness of the overall platform have been tested on three case studies considering pan-European and regional trade lanes, as well as commercial activities between the Far East and European ports. The project results and outputs also allow us to analyze barriers and opportunities of the approach, industrial and academic developments, and relations with emerging technologies.
Learning about empire and the imperial education conferences in the early twentieth century: creating cohesion or demonstrating difference?

Despite the exponential spread of the British Empire by the late nineteenth century, there remained in England a continued indifference to “the Empire”. In 1883, J.R. Seeley, Regius Professor of Modern History in the University of Cambridge, had expressed concern because ‘we think of Great Britain too much and of Greater Britain too little’. People had to rethink their understandings of nation and empire, he suggested, and steps had to be taken to modify what he saw as a ‘defective constitution’. Seeley’s lecture series had prompted debate about ‘the imperial question’, but the ‘anomalous political arrangements’ and the reluctance of the people to think imperially persisted. Insularity was not exclusive to the people in Britain, however. Because of their preoccupation with their own local affairs, it was suggested, there had been little opportunity for people from other parts of the empire to devote much time to the larger questions of imperial and common citizenship.

Sparse Flow: Sparse Matching for Small to Large Displacement Optical Flow

Despite recent advances, the extraction of optical flow with large displacements is still challenging for state-of the-art methods. The approaches that are the most successful at handling large displacements blend sparse correspondences from a matching algorithm with an optimization that refines the optical flow. We follow the scheme of Deep-Flow [33]. We first extract sparse pixel correspondences by means of a matching procedure and then apply a variational approach to obtain a refined optical flow. In our approach, coined 'Sparse Flow', the novelty lies in the matching. This uses an efficient sparse decomposition of a pixel's surrounding patch as a linear sum of those found around candidate corresponding pixels. As matching pixel the one dominating the decomposition is chosen. The pixel pairs matching in both directions, i.e. in a forward-backward fashion, are used as guiding points in the variational approach. Sparse-Flow is competitive on standard optical flow benchmarks with large displacements, while showing excellent performance for small and medium displacements. Moreover, it is fast in comparison to methods with a similar performance.
Affirmative action and other group tradeoff policies: Identifiability of those adversely affected

When social resources are limited, improving the lot of the underprivileged comes at the expense of others. Thus, policies such as Affirmative Action (AA)—designed to increase the representation of minority people in higher education or employment—implicitly entail tradeoffs between groups. We propose that, while aversion to person- or group-tradeoffs of this sort is widespread, the identifiability of those who stand to lose is a moderating factor. In five experiments, we compared support for several hypothetical AA procedures that are equivalent in terms of the overall harm and benefit, but differ with respect to the identifiability of those who stand to lose from its implementation. Results support the claim that the identifiability of those adversely affected reduces support for AA policies and for similar procedures that are unrelated to civil rights issues. Possible determinants of this effect are discussed.

Integrated solutions for the decarbonization and smartification of islands

IANOS brings together two Lighthouse (LH) islands (Terceira-PT, Ameland-NL), and three Fellow islands (FI) (Lambedusa-IT, Bora-Bora-FR, Nisyros-GR), all sharing a common vision of decarbonizing their energy systems and be energy independent until 2050. Thirty-four (34) strongly experienced partners from nine (9) European countries, join forces to deliver smart technological, economic and social innovations, providing systemic optimization starting from an Energy Community-centric approach. IANOS adopts an Island Energy Transition Strategy built around three (3) Island Energy Transition Tracks that focus on: a) Energy efficiency and grid support for extremely high RES penetration, b) Decarbonization through electrification and support from non-emitting fuels, c) Empowering Local Energy Communities (LEC). Through IANOS an impressive repository of elements (technologies, tools, methods) will be demonstrated in the two LH islands and within nine (9) carefully defined Use-Cases (UCs) that will lead to: a reduction of fossil fuel consumption by 379.7 GWh/y, an increase in RES utilization by 83.6 GWh/y, increase accuracy of vRES forecasts by >10% and reduce energy bills of end-users by >15%. In total, 900 participants (prosumers/consumers) will be involved in LECs by the end of IANOS. Elements to be demonstrated include: an iVPP operative orchestration toolkit, smart energy routers, hybrid transformers, flywheel storage, biobased batteries, heat batteries, tidal kite, an auto-generative digester and the IANOS Energy Planning and Transition Suite (IEPT). The replication potential of IANOS UCs will be evaluated in the three FIs. Due to their current local energy mix, Terceira and Ameland can particularly act as LHs for geothermal and hydrogen-centered island economies, respectively. To reach all these goals, a total of 121.6M€ will be invested by the 2 LH ecosystems, while another 60.4M€ will be fuelled by the 6 FI ecosystems during IANOS (until 2025).
Estonian key account management services

The objective of the project is to enhance the innovation management capacity of Estonian SMEs. The action is aimed at
two kinds of SMEs - beneficiaries of the SME Instrument of Horizon and SMEs with significant innovation activities and a
high potential for internationalisation. For beneficiaries of the SME Instrument, the service package (the Key Account
Management service) consists of identifying weaknesses in the innovation capacities of the beneficiary; identifying suitable
coaches (based on the assessment in the first step) to address the identified weaknesses and moderating the coach-client
relationship; and accompanying the beneficiary through the SME Instrument project. The service packages outside the
scope of the SME Instrument (the “Enhancing the innovation management capacity of SME's” service) consist of carrying
out a diagnostic audit of the selected SMEs; and developing and implementing a tailored action plan to improve the SME’s
capacity to manage innovation processes.

Within the current action, the ESTINNO-NET consortium aims to provide the 7-day service packages to 53 SMEs.
Drought discovery to improve drought tolerance in crops

Feeding 9 billion people by 2040 in a context of water shortage poses a critical challenge for agricultural practices, particularly under recurrent drought periods. The so-called Blue Revolution -evaluated by UN as an urgent priority- calls to develop innovative solutions to grow staple food crops in water-limited conditions. Increasing temperatures and reduced precipitation have severely impaired crop yields.  Plants can be protected against these stresses by the action of the hormone abscisic acid (ABA), which orchestrates a multitude of adaptive responses that enhance plant survival. The major class of ABA receptors has been characterized and structural data are available for the receptors of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. However, in crops that provide more than 50% of the diet worldwide, this knowledge is limited. The goal of DrugCrops is to generate and exploit biochemical and structural data of the ABA receptors in the model crop plant Setaria viridis and in maize to develop novel ABA receptor agonists in order to enhance drought tolerance using small molecules. Towards this translational and multidisciplinary goal, we propose the use of high throughput technologies, X-ray crystallographic, chemical and genetic approaches to dissect the mechanism by which agonists engage and activate their receptors. This information will be leveraged for the design of new chemicals that can be used to control abiotic stress tolerance in crop plants. The ER will work in collaboration with different partner research organizations with recognized expertise in ABA signaling, chemical and structural biology that collectively bring experience ranging from big pharma drug discovery to the genetic engineering of drought tolerant crops. As a result, both the ER and Host could obtain new molecules for plant biotechnology in the field of plant drought tolerance, boosting knowledge-based bioeconomy in the EU and ER´s possibilities to reach a position in research.
Cerebral Injury and Neurodevelopmental Outcome in Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome

Twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a severe complication of monochorionic twin pregnancies associated with high perinatal mortality and morbidity rates. Management in TTTS is a major challenge for obstetricians and neonatologists. Twins with TTTS often are born prematurely after an extremely distressing and highly hazardous fetal period. In addition to complications associated with prematurity, surviving twins with TTTS are at increased risk for other complications, including neurological, cardiovascular, renal, and hematologic morbidity. Follow-up studies report varying rates of cerebral palsy and long-term neurodevelopmental impairment. This review focuses on the cerebral injury during the neonatal period as well as long-term neurodevelopmental outcome of TTTS survivors.

New technologies in vat reporting, collection and auditing: legal opportunities and challenges”

Billions of euros are being lost yearly by EU Member States (MS) due to fraud related to Value Added Tax (VAT) . VAT fraud erodes budgets of both MS and the EU  and leads to distortions of competition. It affects honest businesses and consumers and violates the very fundaments of the Internal Market. The loss of tax revenue impedes the fulfilment of redistributive tasks of the MS and thus their role in protection of basic economic and social rights of individuals. The advancement of new technologies – including big data analysis and ever more complex algorithms – has the potential to significantly reducing VAT fraud across the EU. The overall aim of the project on “New technologies in VAT reporting, collection and auditing: legal opportunities and challenges” (VATTECH) is to investigate – from a legal perspective - the opportunities and challenges in the use of new technologies in reporting, collection and auditing of VAT. I will do this by:
a)	Mapping the new technologies used within the VAT area, identify the most efficient ones along with the legal base and background related to these technologies;
b)	Evaluating the identified technologies based on functionality and consistency with taxpayer’s rights, and the existing EU’s legal framework;
c)	Based on a) and b), assessing the potential (functional as well as legal) for extension and harmonization of the evaluated technologies to the whole of EU.
My ambition is to provide important, new insights into the EU VAT system, and through that, to make a significant contribution to the improvement of the tools to combat VAT fraud, administrative cooperation and exchange of information on VAT between and across EU MS.

Generational feminisms in contemporary northern irish performance

‘Generational Feminisms in Contemporary Northern Irish Performance’ (GenFem) will examine the embodied experiences of different generations of women in Northern Ireland, as well as their differing relationships to feminisms: both feminist movements and feminist ideas as they circulate within culture. These embodied experiences will be explored through the context of performance and will investigate working practices that address the tensions and solidarities of intergenerational relationships. GenFem will enable the experienced researcher, Dr. Shonagh Hill (SH) to undertake a 26- month fellowship at Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) under the supervision of Dr. Aoife McGrath (AM). This period of mobility will see SH acquire new skills in practice-led research and movement methodologies through working closely with her main supervisor; contribute new knowledge to the host, namely SH's expertise in gender and performance, through teaching and engagement with the QUB research community; continue her professional development by attending courses offered by the QUB ‘Staff Training and Development Unit’; develop Practice-as-Research workshops with participants from a diverse range of ages and backgrounds in partnership with Northern Irish dance company Maiden Voyage; and gain research-relevant, inter-sectoral experience working with archives and developing outreach activities at the Linen Hall Library. Combining critical and practice-based methods will generate pioneering research, which will be innovatively disseminated for diverse audiences within and beyond the academy. GenFem will augment and advance SH’s international reputation as a leading scholar in gender and performance, as well as expanding the fields of performance/ gender/ Irish studies.

Waterways Forward

The main objective of the project is to improve the management of regional inland waterways and the regions adjacent to these waterways by promoting  an integrated, sustainable and participatory approach. The project aims at developing recommendations for improved and state of the art governance models that will create a sound basis for more integrated regional policies to boost the socio/economic development of inland waterways and adjacent areas in a balanced way, through respecting nature and environment (e.g. by cross fertilising WFD River Basin Management with land based management of the regions adjacent to regional inland waterways).There is an increased recognition of the contribution that regional inland waterways make to tourism development, sustainable transport,  economic growth and the quality of life of the inhabitants of adjacent areas. As a result waterways are being restored and revitalised throughout Europe as a focus for economic & social development.
The increased multifunctional use of regional waterways (including for freight transport, supporting the Naiades initiative for main transport arteries) can have negative impacts on the quality of the environment (e.g more pollution and waste water problems affecting aquatic ecology, unique habitats & drinking water resources). Climate change requires specific policies and approaches to manage regional waterways to tackle problems linked to periodic surplus and shortage of water.   
The socio/economic benefit of being a region adjacent to regional  waterways is an opportunity which requires up to date governance structures and models and management that takes into account the environmental impacts and climatological effects of the increased multifunctional use of regional inland waterways. The project involves an intensive
transfer of know-how on management strategies and regional policies concerning how to deal with the conflicting interests that will arise from an increased mf-use, with a focus on aspects for which local/regional authorities are responsible or play an important role in the policy cycle (Governance & environmental policies). By creating better conditions for a mixed use of regional waterways, taking into account environmental constraints, WFD, and the effects of climate change, the project will support the sustainable development of waterway regions. Although not the main goal of the project, Waterways Forward will also contribute to the EU sustainability goals on transport.The partnership, including partners from old & new Member States, is balanced.Each partner has specific expertise & knowledge of great importance for the others, and these complementarities guarantee a maximisation of results. All partners have the capacity to define and/or influence regional policies.
Can umbilical artery Doppler findings at 36 weeks’ gestation predict maternal hypertension at later gestation?

To clarify whether ultrasonographic evaluations of fetoplacental underperfusion using umbilical artery (UmA) Doppler indices at 36 weeks' gestation can predict maternal hypertension at later gestation.Normotensive pregnant women who underwent an ultrasound scan at 36 weeks' gestation and delivered singleton infants at term between 2012 and 2013 were prospectively enrolled. UmA Doppler and maternal blood pressure results at 36 weeks' gestation in cases with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) at later gestation were compared with a control group.Thirty-nine and 775 cases were classified into the PIH and control group, respectively. The UmA pulsatility index (PI) and maternal systolic blood pressure (SBP) at 36 weeks' gestation were higher in the PIH group than in control group (UmA-PI: 0.88 vs. 0.80, p = 0.002; SBP: 126 mmHg vs. 112 mmHg, p < 0.001). The area under the ROC curve for the prediction of PIH by combining the UmA-PI and SBP was 0.867 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.781, 0.954). The detection rate for PIH was 64.0% with a 10% false-positive rate.An increased UmA-PI at 36 weeks' gestation is associated with the occurrence of PIH at later gestation. This result may indicate the possibility to detect fetoplacental underperfusion ultrasonically.
