The Effect of Acute and Subchronic Administration of Crude Khat Extract (Catha Edulis F.) on Weight in Mice

People widely chew khat, particularly in East Africa, for different purposes but there is no consistent data showing its effect on anorexia and weight. This study was made to add to the existing body of knowledge about khat and its effect on weight. A total of 50 albino mice, 6-8 weeks old, were administered orally with a single daily dose of khat extract for 30 days. The animals were divided into 4 groups. The first group served as controls and was administered with 0.5 ml 3% Tween 80 in water. Group two (K100), three (K200) and four (K300) were administered 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg khat extract, respectively.  The effect of crude khat extract on weight was measured and analyzed using One-way ANOVA. The result showed that acute administration of crude khat extract at doses used did have a significant effect on weight on all the three groups (khat administered) (p< 0.01) but there was no significant weight difference among the three groups. After the fourth days, this weight decrease, however, was followed by regaining the initial weight and then increasing till the end of the experiment.  Crude khat extract at acute and sub-chronic administration have anorexic effect but followed by development of tolerance which may be explained by a complex of Neuro-chemical processes.
Safeguarding, enhancing and promoting the natural and cultural heritage of COastal COmmunities by boosting the eco-museum model aiming at smart and sustainable TOURism management.

Co.Co.Tour project aims to guarantee a smart, inclusive and sustainable growth of the coastal communities in the target areas through a development of a cross-border model of cooperation based on heritage enhancing and tourism innovations. Starting from the example experience of Tricase Port Museum (IT), project creates two new ecomuseum realities in Albania and Montenegro that become dynamic centers for their communities on discovering and enhancing the material and immaterial heritage of coastal territories (sea traditions, cooking and local products, old crafts, flora and fauna, languages, sailing etc) and developing its accessible and sustainable tourist offer. The cooperation model will increase a crossborder governance of the involved territories, sharing approaches, strategies and management standards, allowing heritage’s identification and safeguarding and developing a community tourism offer based on diversification, deseasonalization,  target enlargement (young, foreigners, disabled), quality and accessibility of the services. Exactly Community Tourism represents a growing and sustainable market strategy that combines quality of the service with an authentic encounter with the community and its heritage making local people kind of land managers of their coastal territory. The project will activate a community tourism package for each territory by improving organizational and promotional capacity, activating public and dynamic ecomuseums centers, improving accessibility of spaces and services by upgrading structures, developing web and ict devices join with graphic and narrative tools in order to increase attractiveness and tourism competitiveness.

Adriatic Landscape Interpretation Network

ADRION area is well-established tourism destination with intensive short summer season, but limited tourism in other parts of the year. However, potentials for developing all year tourism destinations are many and natural, cultural, historical heritage sites and local realities can play an important role: this is the main project challenge.

ADRILINK general objective is to promote Landscape Tourism in Adriatic Region through the creation of a network of Landscape Interpretation Centres, conceived as nodal points of selected thematic paths and routes, digitally connected through an ICT platform, ensuring the integrated management of tourist services, fostering innovative solutions. The project provides new models of sustainable tourism management aimed at reducing tourism seasonality through the valorization of natural and cultural landscapes as common assets that can be visited throughout the year. 

By promoting activities for valorising European natural and cultural heritage as key layer of human well-being, the project contributes to strengthen the Adriatic Region Identity as unique touristic destination. It is conceived as a "Community-Based Project" where the community is the key actor in “thinking/rethinking” its own landscape, using different interpretative keys as history and arts, culture, crafts, paths and traditions, tipicality in order to rebuild its own past, understand the present and plan the future as well.

ADRILINK&#39;s main outputs are: (1) Establishment of Adriatic Network for Tourism on Landscape; (2) a Common Sustainable Strategy for Adriatic Landscape Destination System; (3) a System of new Adriatic itineraries and roots based on the interpretation of Landscape; (4)a Digital platform and app for Adriatic Tourism;(5 )10 LICs equipped with smart technologies applications and innovative ICT solutions;(6) Organization of “Landscape Days” as unique integrated circuit-event along the Adriatic Region.

Azithromycin suppresses P. gingivalis LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine production by human gingival fibroblasts in vitro

Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that appears to have both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to investigate the effect of azithromycin on the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines by human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) in vitro.The effects of azithromycin (0.1 to 10 μg/mL) on the production of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), and growth-regulated oncogene (GRO) by human gingival fibroblasts cultured in the presence or absence of Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was studied. Cytokine and chemokine protein levels in the culture supernatant were assessed using a Luminex® multiplex immunoassay.P. gingivalis LPS induced cytokine/chemokine (IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1, and GRO) protein production in HGFs, and this effect was suppressed by azithromycin at all concentrations tested.This study demonstrates that azithromycin suppresses P. gingivalis LPS-induced cytokine/chemokine protein production in HGF, which may explain some of the clinical benefits observed with the adjunctive use of azithromycin in the treatment of periodontitis.The current study examines the anti-inflammatory properties of azithromycin which may make it useful as an adjunct treatment to periodontitis. Specifically, we used azithromycin to modulate the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines by gingival fibroblasts known to be important in periodontal inflammation.
Brain activity during walking: A systematic review

This systematic review provides an overview of the literature deducing information about brain activation during (1) imagined walking using MRI/fMRI or (2) during real walking using measurement systems as fNIRS, EEG and PET.Three independent reviewers undertook an electronic database research browsing six databases. The search request consisted of three search fields. The first field comprised common methods to evaluate brain activity. The second search field comprised synonyms for brain responses to movements. The third search field comprised synonyms for walking.48 of an initial yield of 1832 papers were reviewed. We found differences in cortical activity regarding young vs. old individuals, physically fit vs. physically unfit cohorts, healthy people vs. patients with neurological diseases, and between simple and complex walking tasks.We summarize that the dimension of brain activity in different brain areas during walking is highly sensitive to task complexity, age and pathologies supporting previous assumptions underpinning the significance of cortical control. Many compensation mechanisms reflect the brain's plasticity which ensures stable walking.
Integrating Refugees in Society and Labour Market through Social Innovation

The challenge that SIforREF addresses is combating the risk of marginalization of refugees after the reception phases (which are different in the various central European Countries) . SIforREF’s main objective is to enhance significantly and/or to launch (where not existing at all) refugee integration policies at regional and local level (in the 4 involved regions), particularly addressing refugees’ transition from reception phases to autonomy. The change that SIforREF intends to produce is the following: we expect  that refugee integration is included in the decisional agenda both at local and transnational level. Moreover, we expect that thorugh this project policy-makers and stakeholders engage in virtuous governance in order that innovative and inclusive measures become mainstream. The main outputs of the projects are: tools for evaluating and designing social innovative practices and improving the social innovation capacity of policies; pilots of these tools (7) and a regional and transnational strategy. As for the approach, SIforREF is based on the idea that best practices related to refugee’s integration can be found both in countries more experienced in tackling with refugees -or where policy makers explicitly put in their agenda refugees’ mid- term integration- and in countries less experienced or where national governments are more hostile. The complexity of this issue require a mutual learning among central European regions, especially neighborhood regions like those involved in the project.
SIforREF conveys innovation because it tackles an issue (refugee integration) which is poorley addressed by official policies, despite attacched problems are evident, and because it aims not only at  exchanging good practices, but  intends to jointly design and implement methodologies for integrating refugees that draw from the social innovation approach.
Climate reconstruction based on GDGT-based proxies in a paleosol sequence in Japan: Postdepositional effect on the estimation of air temperature

Abstract We investigated branched and isoprenoid glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) in surface soils and a paleosol sequence to understand the effects of environmental and postdepositional factors on branched GDGT composition in different soil types and to reconstruct the past changes in the mean annual air temperature (MAAT) in southwestern Japan during the last 15 ka. The estimated MAAT was overestimated by 6 °C and 2 °C when the global and regional soil calibrations were applied, respectively. Additionally, the estimated MAAT increased downward by a maximum of 4 °C in the upper 30 cm of the soil sequence. This is likely to reflect the addition of newly produced branched GDGTs in subsurface soils. The estimated MAATs in a paleosol sequence are thus ∼10 °C and ∼6 °C higher than those expected when the global and regional soil calibrations were applied, respectively, but the variation agrees with the Holocene variation in the MAAT estimated by the pollen assemblage. This indicates that the MBT'/CBT-derived MAAT is biased, but the variation reflects the past changes in MAAT.
Fully connected virtual and physical perovskite photovoltaics lab

VIPERLAB identifies perovskite PV as the key emerging technology that will be the lever for a future market penetration of EU-based PV production with lowest costs and lowest carbon footprint. Therefore, through facilitated and coordinated access to the best EU perovskite infrastructures and the use of advanced data mining approaches, VIPERLAB will stimulate European academic and industrial researchers to work together on the research and development of the next generation of solar cell technology, which will accelerate the perovskite PV technology development in Europe. Top-level material synthesis, state-of-the-art device design and development, as well as standardized testing methods, simulation methods, and databases will be the main services offered in order to validate at lab-scale and at pre-industrial-scale, the technology that will form the backbone for EU PV recovered worldwide leadership all along the value chain.

VIPERLAB will boost this ambition for the emerging perovskite community by providing transnational and virtual access aiming to: (1) combine European top-ranked, relevant and complementary perovskite PV infrastructures to foster perovskite solar cells and module development and testing. Facilitate access to these perovskite-focused infrastructures for the community of EU PV academia and industry; (2) connect and support the starting European perovskite community through physical and virtual infrastructures and through targeted networking activities and (3) further develop physical and virtual perovskite infrastructures, build an up-to-date database on materials and devices, on long-term performance and on environmental and economic impact (enabling evidence-based commercial and political decision making. Hence, VIPERLAB will build up a close dialogue with the emerging perovskite industry with the help of new initiatives such as EPKI as well as more established players such as the European solar industry association Solar Power Europe.
Complex word reading in Dutch deaf children and adults

Children who are deaf are often delayed in reading comprehension. This delay could be due to problems in morphological processing during word reading. In this study, we investigated whether 6th grade deaf children and adults are delayed in comparison to their hearing peers in reading complex derivational words and compounds compared to monomorphemic words. The results show that deaf children are delayed in reading both derivational words and compounds as compared to hearing children, while both deaf and hearing adults performed equally well on a lexical decision task. However, deaf adults generally showed slower reaction times than hearing adults. For both deaf and hearing children, derivational words were more difficult than compounds, as reflected in hearing children's slower reaction times and in deaf children's lower accuracy scores. This finding likely reflects deaf children's lack of familiarity with the meaning of the bound morphemes attached to the stems in derivational words. Therefore, it might be beneficial to teach deaf children the meaning of bound morphemes and to train them to use morphology in word reading. Moreover, these findings imply that it is important to focus on both monomorphemic and polymorphemic words when assessing word reading ability in deaf children.
Fingerprints of heavy scales in electroweak effective Lagrangians

The couplings of the electroweak effective theory contain information on the heavy-mass scales which are no-longer present in the low-energy Lagrangian. We build a general effective Lagrangian, implementing the electroweak chiral symmetry breaking $SU(2)_L\otimes SU(2)_R\to SU(2)_{L+R}$, which couples the known particle fields to heavier states with bosonic quantum numbers $J^P=0^\pm$ and $1^\pm$. We consider colour-singlet heavy fields that are in singlet or triplet representations of the electroweak group. Integrating out these heavy scales, we analyze the pattern of low-energy couplings among the light fields which are generated by the massive states. We adopt a generic non-linear realization of the electroweak symmetry breaking with a singlet Higgs, without making any assumption about its possible doublet structure. Special attention is given to the different possible descriptions of massive spin-1 fields and the differences arising from naive implementations of these formalisms, showing their full equivalence once a proper short-distance behaviour is required.

A mechatronic data component

The development of high-tech industries, including the aerospace industry, radio electronics, and the nuclear industry, has led to progress in microelectronics that allowed development of “smart” devices mostly intended to replace the muscle strength and which are classified as mechatronics systems (MSs). They combine electromechanics and microelectronics, which affect the working mechanism on the basis of artificial intelligence, as well as generated and received information. The dominant role of the dataware under an increase in the efficiency of MSs with intellectualization, adaptation, self-organization, optimization, and synergistic effect achieved by aggregation and an increase in the level of electronization of the components is shown in this paper. We place special emphasis on improving the functional and metrological capabilities of a common dataware using the resolver as a sensor.
Effects of formulation and processing conditions on the physical properties of fat crystal networks

This thesis investigates the effects of formulation and processing conditions on the material properties of fat crystal networks. A scraped surface heat exchanger was used to control crystallisation and to produce fat crystal networks. Experiments were conducted to study the effects of formulation (solid fat composition) and processing conditions (scraped surface heat exchanger's mixing speed, coolant temperature, and throughput). Rheological studies were conducted to characterise the material properties of the fat systems. Viscosity measurements were carried out to study the effects of processing conditions on the material behaviour whilst oscillatory rheology was used to study the viscoelastic behaviour of the fat systems. Amplitude sweeps and oscillation tests (small scale rheological analysis) were conducted to study the viscous modulus (G”) and the elastic modulus (G') of the system which is an indicator of the macroscopic consistency of the network. Polarised light microscopy (PLM) was employed to observe the microstructure of the crystallised system. These images were used alongside image analysis software, ImageJ, to quantify the complexity of the microstructural level of the fat crystal networks by calculating their box-counting fractal dimensions (D\(_b\)). The thermal behaviour of fat systems was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
Capacity of byzantine agreement with finite link capacity

We consider the problem of maximizing the throughput of Byzantine agreement, when communication links have finite capacity. Byzantine agreement is a classical problem in distributed computing. In existing literature, the communication links are implicitly assumed to have infinite capacity. The problem changes significantly when the capacity of links is finite. We define the throughput and capacity of agreement, and identify necessary conditions of achievable agreement throughputs. We propose an algorithm structure for achieving agreement capacity in general networks. We also introduce capacity achieving algorithms for two classes of networks: (i) arbitrary four-node networks with at most 1 failure; and (ii) symmetric networks of arbitrary size.
Labelling of engineered nanomaterials for nanosafety tracing

Major uncertainty still exists on the safety of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs). This is primarily due to difficulties in studying such small-scale objects and especially tracing their fate and behaviour in laboratory experiments and, even more so, the environment. Labelling of ENMs can serve a very important role of tracer in the environment, and ultimately be used as a tool to create unique ENM identities and support the concept of “safer-by-design”. The proposed project will compare different labelling techniques, both conventional (fluorescent labels) and emerging (stable isotopic and chemical labelling) where the host and ER have complementary expertise, and investigate multiple labels. It will consider aspects of industrial synthesis and scaling up and carry out a field experiment involving labelled ENMs. The ER will be hosted by the team who pioneered stable isotope labelling of ENMs and benefit from placements with the JRC and Glantreo, whilst bringing to the project his own unique expertise on ENM synthesis and tracing.
