Prosumers for the energy union: mainstreaming active participation of citizens in the energy transition

PROSEU aims to enable the mainstreaming of the prosumer phenomenon into the European Energy Union. Prosumers are active energy users who both consume and produce renewable energy (RE).  The growth of prosumerism all over Europe challenges current energy market structures and institutions. PROSEU research will look into new business models, market regulations, infrastructural integration, technology scenarios and energy policies. PROSEU’s interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary team will closely work together with RE Prosumer Initiatives (15 Living Labs), policymakers and other stakeholders from eight countries, following a quasi-experimental approach to learn how prosumer communities, start-ups and businesses are dealing with their own challenges, and to determine what incentive structures will enable the mainstreaming of RE Prosumerism, while safeguarding citizen participation, inclusiveness and transparency. Moving beyond a case by case and fragmented body of research on prosumers, PROSEU will build an integrated knowledge framework for a socio-political, socioeconomic, business and financial, technological, socio-technical and sociocultural understanding of RE prosumerism and coalesce in a comprehensive identification and assessment of incentive structures to enable the process of mainstreaming RE prosumers in the context of the energy transition.

On the Prevention of Inflation and Deflation

The depreciation of U.S.dollar,the subprime mortgage crisis and the dramatic fluctuating of commodity price in the first half of 2008 results in imported inflation and the pressure of constitutive inflation caused by the natural disaster in China emerges.As the effects of inflation governance and control policy gradually appear,the price index decrease month by month,and the pressures of the inflation become lightened.However,the international environment dramatically changes into the financial crisis,which seriously impacts on the economic entities of the world.The quick declination in economic growth and the appearance of economic recession slow down the economic growth of China.The inflation quickly transformed into the deflation.Controlling goal is taken as  maintaining growth,expanding domestic demand and adjusting structure.

Is Titanium Sensitivity Associated with Allergic Reactions in Patients with Dental Implants? A Systematic Review

A worrying correlation which seems to be overlooked by clinicians is allergic reactions to titanium (Ti) in patients with dental implants.The aim of the present review study was to assess whether or not Ti sensitivity is associated with allergic reactions in patients with dental implants.To address the focused question "Can Ti cause allergic reactions in patients with dental implants?", databases were explored from 1977 until May 2010 using a combination of the following keywords: "allergy,""dental,""hypersensitivity,""implant,""oral," and "Titanium." Letters to the editor and unpublished data were excluded.Seven studies (six clinical and one experimental) were included. The participants were aged between 14.3 and 84.1 years. In five clinical studies, Ti implants were inserted in the mandible. Five studies reported dermal inflammatory conditions and gingival hyperplasia as allergic reactions in patients with Ti dental implants. A case report presented swelling in submental and labial sulcus and hyperemia of soft tissues in a patient with Ti dental implants. Two studies reported that Ti implants are well tolerated in host tissues. The patch test was performed in two clinical studies for the diagnosis of allergic reactions. Memory lymphocyte immunostimulation assay and lymphocyte transformation tests were also performed.The significance of Ti as a cause of allergic reactions in patients with dental implants remains unproven.
To End War and Poverty: The Media Strategy of Martin Luther King, Jr.January 1, 1967, to April 4, 1968

Through 1967 until his assassination on April 4, 1968, American civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. focused his internationally-recognized authority as a moral and religious leader against America's war in Vietnam and the values that he saw perpetuating the poverty of an estimated 40-million Americans. King’s so-called “new radicalism” presented the difficult challenge of trying to win favourable news coverage for views that challenged those of the news media and mainstream America. Through the transcripts of an FBI wiretap on the home phone of King's most trusted strategist, Stanley D. Levison, and other archival documents, this thesis seeks a better understanding of the media strategy that went into advancing King's antiwar views and his efforts to rid American society of poverty. Positioning himself between go-slow moderates and go-for-broke radicals, King promoted a compelling “militant middle” that wedded radical idealism and pragmatic realism into a dramatic message that the news media could not ignore. Such a strategy was not without its risks and left King facing media coverage that was often critical of his refusal to drop his opposition to the war and adopt a more moderate approach in his fight against poverty. Yet media coverage also provided a crucial forum for his “new radicalism” that King deliberately sought out and used to warn America that its tolerance of war, racism and poverty was leading to social catastrophe and the nation’s imminent “spiritual death.”
An intelligent hospital operating room to improve patient health care

Abstract Optimizing management of multiple hospital operating rooms (ORs) is a complex problem. A large hospital can have upwards of greater than 50 with a large number of different procedures per day and per OR that needs to be scheduled several weeks in advance. Each procedure requires gathering a team led by a surgeon for a specific block of time in the OR, but even common procedures such as cholecystectomies, which account for about 1.4 million cases per year in the USA, exhibit a significant variation in total procedure duration. OR time is one of the most significant budget chapters in a modern hospital, and it has also been shown that delays in OR procedures due to lapses in scheduling and/or OR resources availability have been responsible for post-surgical complications. We propose an innovative, cost effective hardware/software OR awareness solution that automatically (i) detects what step of the procedure the OR team is at, (ii) determines if steps are out of order, (iii) identifies and pinpoints procedural delays, irregularities, and unused OR time, and (iv) can assist in root cause analyses and assessment. Most institutions have an electronic OR management software system in place that allows for easy projection and visualization of the daily OR schedule, but all rely heavily on manual data entry resulting in human error and bias. There exists a need not only for a fully automated, unbiased, and accurate OR management system that also collects key procedural data for both real-time and retrospective analyses but also for an intuitive and user-friendly digital interface. With our system, we have been able to track and collect data on almost 300 cases to not only identify but quantify sources of inefficiency as well as automatically indicate cases that exceed expected lengths.
The Presence of Rural Accommodation in Extremadura on Facebook: An Approach to Its Intensity of Use Through a Grouping Analysis

Facebook has acquired a notable presence in many business activities as a social medium and networking service. Tourism has not been oblivious to this trend and consequently numerous accommodation establishments have joined this network. However, when analysing a particular type of accommodation, i.e. rural accommodation, certain deficiencies can be observed at least in the context analysed. For this reason, this article aims to ascertain the activity of rural accommodation in Extremadura based on the hypothesis that the potential of this network to promote the visibility of its establishments is not always exploited. At the same time we investigate the possible existence of a territorial pattern in certain characteristics of the social network that could lead to an improvement in the visibility of the accommodation establishments. To corroborate this assumption, a Grouping Analysis is applied both with and without spatial restriction in order to determine the presence of spatial clusters. The results clearly show that a higher performance is achieved when this technique is applied based on spatial relationships than without them. At the same time, it can be observed that most of the rural accommodation establishments do not stand out in the use of the social network analysed and very few of them play a prominent role, both positively and negatively, with respect to the average situation of the accommodation establishments. In the first case, they should act as models when their behaviour can be replicated by other establishments, and in the second case they should serve as a basis for the implementation of corrective measures to involve the establishments in the management and control of this widely distributed social network. Among the conclusions drawn from this study is the need to actively incorporate Facebook as a basic tool for the positioning of accommodation.
What Isn’t a Case-Control Study?

Confusion exists among neurosurgeons when choosing and implementing an appropriate study design and statistical methods when conducting research. We noticed particular difficulty with mislabeled and inappropriate case-control studies in the neurosurgical literature.To quantify and to rigorously review this issue for appropriateness in publication and to establish quality of the manuscripts using a rigorous technique.Following a literature search, pairs drawn from 5 independent reviewers evaluated a complete sample of 125 manuscripts claiming to be case-control studies with respect to basic case-control criteria. Seventy-five papers were then subjected to a more rigorous appraisal for quality using the SIGN Methodology Checklist for case-control studies.Fifty publications were rejected based on basic criteria used to identify case-control design. Of the 75 subjected to quality analysis, 46 were felt to be acceptable for publication. Only 11 papers (9%) achieved the designation of high quality. Of the original 125 papers evaluated, 79 (63%) were inappropriately labeled case-control studies.Mislabeling and use of inappropriate study design are common in the neurosurgical literature. Manuscripts should be evaluated rigorously by reviewers and readers, and neurosurgical training programs should include instruction on choice of appropriate study design and critical appraisal of the literature.
Universal Wave-Function Overlap and Universal Topological Data from Generic Gapped Ground States

We propose a way-universal wave-function overlap-to extract universal topological data from generic ground states of gapped systems in any dimensions. Those extracted topological data might fully characterize the topological orders with a gapped or gapless boundary. For nonchiral topological orders in (2+1)D, these universal topological data consist of two matrices S and T, which generate a projective representation of SL(2,Z) on the degenerate ground state Hilbert space on a torus. For topological orders with a gapped boundary in higher dimensions, these data constitute a projective representation of the mapping class group MCG(M^{d}) of closed spatial manifold M^{d}. For a set of simple models and perturbations in two dimensions, we show that these quantities are protected to all orders in perturbation theory. These overlaps provide a much more powerful alternative to the topological entanglement entropy and allow for more efficient numerical implementations.
Blue Energy Deployment Alliance

The MED area will include Blue Energy (BE) in maritime planning and governance, thanks to BLUE DEAL project. Given the early stage of BE technologies, proper information to deliver consistent strategies, plans and regulations in the BE sector are still missing; this often compromises public-private initiatives for exploiting marine renewable energy and discourages investments.Scope of BLUE DEAL is to overcome current technical and administrative restrictions for BE deployment and define proper requirements and procedures to support decisions and guarantee compliance with regulatory, environmental and social constraints. Based on outputs from the Interreg MED MAESTRALE and PELAGOS projects, BLUE DEAL foresights a series of transnational Labs to involve multi-sectorial stakeholders, perform participative planning processes and establish public-private alliances through open innovation actions. Project partners will share their interdisciplinary expertise, develop demonstrations in target regions and release feasible visions of prosperous and sustainable coastal development.For mainstreaming and capitalisation, BLUE DEAL will determine a policy oriented Joint Plan for portability, addressed to decision makers to introduce BE in regional and national strategies, and a market oriented Transfer Protocol, addressed to SMEs and investors to support business and entrepreneurship. Let’s make a BLUE DEAL!
Ecological building envelopes: a game-changing design approach for regenerative urban ecosystems

Urbanisation constitutes a major environmental issue of the 21st century. Within cities, densification, the decrease of green open spaces, and a continued reliance on grey infrastructures result in increasing separation of people from nature and decrease access to ecosystem services. This decreases the liveability of cities and reduces human well-being. Current approaches fall short in providing breakthrough solutions, because they perpetuate the human-nature dichotomy due to anthropocentric design. We propose a radical change for city development: instead of minimizing the negative impact of urbanisation on nature, we aim at urbanisation to be planned and designed such that nature – including humans - can co-evolve within the city. This vision requires a radically new integrated ecosystem approach to architecture that focuses equally on humans, plants, animals, and associated organisms such as microbiota. In ECOLOPES, we propose to develop the technology that will allow to achieve this vision. We will focus on the envelope, the building enclosure. In ECOLOPES, we transform the envelope into an ecolope, a multi-species living space for four types of inhabitants, humans, plants, animals, and microbiota. ECOLOPES will develop the core technologies for designing ecolopes in a systematic way, considering the needs of all habitants. ECOLOPES will make biological knowledge available for the architectural design process, to find architectural solutions that enable synergies and limit conflicts between the inhabitants. The ecolopes designed by this multi-species approach will restore the beneficial human - nature relationships in cities. Key products of ECOLOPES are: (1) ECOLOPES Information Model Ontology that integrates ecological and architectural knowledge, data and models into a data-integrated design recommendation system; (2) ECOLOPES Computational modelling and simulation environment, that is based on the EIM Ontology, to make knowledge available for design.
Integrating the tissue-specificity and chronology of hereditary renal cancer predisposition

Cancer cells undergo profound metabolic changes. However, little is known about whether and how metabolic changes drive cancer. The discovery that mutations of Tricarboxylic Acid (TCA) cycle enzymes in mitochondria predispose to cancer gives evidence that dysregulated metabolism could drive tumorigenesis. Amongst these, mutations in Fumarate Hydratase (FH) cause Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Cancer (HLRCC), characterised by tumours of the skin and uterus, and renal cancer. Patients inherit one mutated copy of FH and loss of the wild-type (wt) allele occurs in tumours. Fumarate accumulation is the defining biochemical feature of these tumours. However, the mechanisms by which FH loss and fumarate accumulation lead to these tumours is unclear. 
In ONCOFUM, I want to elucidate the mechanisms that underpin tissue-specific tumorigenesis in HLRCC. I hypothesise that HLRCC occurs via a two-step process. Initially, loss of the wt allele in carriers of a FH mutation leads to FH deficiency. However, most of these cells die and only cells in tissues with the appropriate metabolic hardware survive. In the second step, FH loss in permissive tissues leads to phenotypic changes that lead to cancer. To assess this hypothesis, we will generate a mouse model where we inactivate FH in multiple tissues and elucidate the ensuing tissue-specific reprogramming. Then, using cellular models, we will investigate the molecular consequences of FH loss. In parallel, we will perform a comprehensive analysis of HLRCC tumours to find diagnostic and prognostic tools, and new anticancer targets, which will be validated in vitro and in vivo. 
The experimental framework developed in ONCOFUM will give unparalleled molecular insights into how cancer develops in different tissues in response to loss of FH and will lead to new therapeutic strategies for HLRCC, and, more generally for the many other cancers to which metabolic reprogramming contributes.
Evolutionary Simulation of Contractors’ Learning and Behavior under Two Bid-Tendering Approaches

AbstractBidding and determining the optimum markup are two major decisions that a contractor has to think about thoroughly when faced with a new project. Several bidding models have been presented in the literature to help contractors make these two decisions; however, they mostly considered the perspective of one contractor bidding on a single project, obscuring the interaction and learning components among contractors and the observation of emergent bidding patterns at both individual and aggregate levels. This research uses an evolutionary approach to model construction-bidding market dynamics and study the effect of contractors’ risk attitude on their markups, and on the long-term progression of bid prices under two bid-tendering approaches, namely the low and average bid methods. Simulation results showed that the most risk-tolerant contractors submit the lowest bid prices under the low-bid method and the highest prices under the average bid method. Moreover, the low-bid approach revealed long-term e...
RISK-GEST

"This project is part of the plan RISK" : RISK-GEST aims to answer to challenges linked to the protection of population exposed at natural risk on ALCOTRA’s territory (flooding, landslide, avalanche and fire). The project purposes to develop prevention, protection and preparation to risk management, integrating approaches of qualified institutions at cross-border level. RISK-GEST elaborates common intervention strategies to ameliorate the knowing of phenomes thorough the definition of a multilevel governance aiming to increase the resilience of the cross-border territory, to develop advanced methods of evaluation, over watching and risks management. The project is ambitious because he wants to put in relation and coordinate various actors: organisms in charge of territorial prevention and territorial organisation, but also civil protection (Regions, Departments), organisms manging helps after disasters (firemen) and whom managing the everyday risks of the territory (Metropolitan Cities, and Cities), and exposed population. Citizens, thorough the participative planification, will become actives intervenants of the risk system management.

ALCOTRA’s territory is subject to numerous risks. Some of them ignore borders (natural risks), some others are susceptible to be replicated on both sides of the border or to request a joint intervention (industrial, urban and technological risks). These specifics risks need an enforced cross-border cooperation. The intensity, challenge and complexity of potential crisis, in a context of high threats, impose to develop instruments of this collaboration: new interactive instruments of information, communication (warning and information) bettering risk supervision, the decision-making, the alert and risk management, involving citizens to the whole process; instruments of analyse, experience feedbacks and planning; formation and operational preparation of actors. Mutual assistance conventions exist on these territories which are organising the answer to these crises. The seriousness of these events and their scarcity make them necessary to develop new instruments allowing the facilitation of practices integrations and knowledges in natural risk prevention sector and crisis management. This PITEM is integrated in the continuity of previous experiences (RiskNat, RISKNET, FORMARISC, FORTRESS, PICRIT, PRODIGE), it promotes work and deliverable realized, pursuing their development increasing their use by a bigger public of users.
