Paptic – the good conscience alternative

Non-degradable, poorly recyclable, easily littered and long-lasting plastic products cause extensive accumulation of problems and endanger complete ecosystems. About 1 trillion plastic bags are used every year, with 89% of them only once. Despite the urgency of the problem, no viable alternative has been found up to now.

Paptic addresses this global challenge and satisfies the needs of consumers, retailers and brand owners for sustainable carrier bags. The company has developed the novel wood fibre based material PAPTIC® that combines the renewability of paper with the resource efficiency and functionality of plastics. Once fully developed, PAPTIC bags will be 100% biodegradable and recyclable, with at least 85% renewable content.

The patented PAPTIC® bags are the World’s first economically sound and environment-friendly alternative to plastics bags. Although market entry is achieved through carrier bags, PAPTIC® will revolutionise the whole flexible packaging market expected to be worth > €200 billion by 2018. The production logistics of Paptic is based on utilising existing paper mills, enabling rapid scale-up with low CAPEX investments.

Paptic has already built a sales pipeline worth more than €150 million, representing some of the best-known brands and retailers in the World. With some of them, Paptic is conducting tests with extremely favourable feedback from brand owners, and has launched its first marketing campaigns. Also feedback from consumers has been thoroughly positive.

The PAPTIC project is the next logical step in the company’s strategy. The focus is on scaling up production capacity from the already operational pilot line to a commercial prototype production line, and improving the performance of the PAPTIC
Auguste Brougnes y Alejo Peyret: dos iniciadores de la colonización agrícola argentina en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX

Se trata de subrayar, en primer lugar, la importancia de la emigración de élites, al lado de la emigración de masas única casi ésta de la que se habla. El Dr Brougnes, originario de Caixon (Hautes Pyrénées) es un médico filántropo que ve en la emigración agrícola hacia Argentina la forma de conseguir una vida mejor para los agricultores pobres de su región. Alexis Peyret, por su parte, es un intelectual pragmático y humanista que se convertirá en el gran especialista de la colonización argentina en general: hará su aprendizaje en su puesto de director y organizador de la Colonia de San José (provincia de Entre Ríos) hasta llegar ha ser nombrado Director General de Tierras y Colonias del gobierno argentino.
Clusters for European Innovation Cross-Linking

All 9 partners from 8 countries represent regions/countries, where clusters are already in place as an important instrument for regional economic development, supporting innovative collaboration within industries. Now experience shows, that new technological fields emerge in the interface between existing industries. As such the regional authorities who initially set up and developed clusters in certain sectors need also to reflect on the future strategic orientation of the cluster policy. 
Considering in particular the efforts towards a regional smart specialisation the policy makers face the challenge of identifying new technological developements and trends at an early stage with a high potential for boosting the regional economic growth. Innovation means not only creating totally new technologies, but increasingly cross-linking existing ones towards new developments. CLUSTERIX aims to enable regional authorities to identify, analyse and explore the potential of strategic future
cluster development through the exchange of experience and best practices between partners. This potential lies in the cross-linking of existing industrial fields of strength – within the region and between the regions. 
CLUSTERIX also tackles further themes of high interest for cluster policy makers like 
• funding the cluster support and its political/strategical orientation and expected impact
• pushing emerging industries through cluster development (e.g. by using public procurement)
• creating the positive framework for cross-linked cluster cooperation between the partner regions.
These issues have an innovative character since they have not been tackeld in other projects and are important in a regional landscape where clusters are now at a crossroad: quantity vs. quality, traditional industries vs. emerging industries, cooperation within the region vs. across regions.

The partnership consists of local, regional and national authorities (depending on policy level responsible in
the different states) as well as bodies governed by public law that have the mandate to design and implement cluster policy. These bodies act in the project together with their regional/national authorities, in order to ensure the project's impact at the policy level. 
The exchange of experience envisaged by CLUSTERIX takes place through study visits, staff exchange and most important through peer groups meetings, where in small&efficient groups the identified best practices are shared and analized on their relevance and feasibility for other project regions. This gained know-how is reflected "at home" in order to be able to integrate the learnings optimally in the regional implementation plan. 

The overall objective of CLUSTERIX is to increase the competitiveness of European regions and their innovation potential through the improvement and strategic re-orientation of cluster policies towards smart specialisation.

A device for keeping operative and controllably disabling the fast running movement of the tape, particularly for a tape cassette playback and/or recorder apparatus.

In a tape playback and, or recorder apparatus, of the type in which a first arm movable with respect to the frame carries at least a playback magnetic head, a second arm movable with respect to the frame carries a pressure roller and a fast movement lever is shifted in opposite directions starting from a rest position in which it sets the kinematic elements for the normal speed feeding towards one of the two positions in which it sets the kinematic elements for the fast running of the tape in one of the two directions to cause the fast rewinding or winding of the tape, it is provided for the use of a device for keeping operative and controllably disabling the fast running movement of the tape, for instance in order to be able to carry out, in combination with an electronic circuit not being a part of the present invention, the search of a particular prerecorded passage. The present device comprises means elastically fixable to the frame and releasable from it on a control coming from the cited electronic search circuit, for releasably keeping the fast movement lever in each of its two positions of fast running of the tape and arm lever means for causing the arms to move during the motion of the fast movement lever so as to take the pressure roller away from the capstan and carry the playback head away from the position of pressure contact with the tape.
Fisheries  governance  in  the Marine  Protected  Areas:  Potential  for  'Blue Economy'

Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have multiplied in recent years, with a significant influence on local socio-economies, and artisanal fisheries. The benefits of MPAs for local fisheries become evident with an increase of catches over time, thus of profits for fishermen. In the short term however, their creation is often subject to strong opposition from local fishermen, who perceive MPAs as limiting their activities (e.g. due to the loss of available fishing grounds) and incomes. The FishMPABlue project addresses and proposes solutions to existing and potential conflicts. It involves key actors in the planning of conservation measures and fishery regulation processes in a context of sustainable governance involved in Blue Economy. FishMPABlue intends to start from few successful experiences of co-management between MPAs and fishermen, and develop new means of suports for artisanal fishery, within and around MPAs.
Usage of Visual Analytics to Support Immigration-Related, Personalised Language Training Scenarios

Most language learning applications are aimed at students or people who already know a language and want to improve their skills, or want to learn a new language. These applications, while seeking to be interactive, are not aimed at immigrants, refugees or asylum seekers, since the latter have different needs and interests from casual learners, opting for language skills that will allow them to function independently in the host society. This research is part of the European project WELCOME, which seeks to use state-of-the-art technologies, such as Virtual Reality (VR) apps and dialogue agents, to support the reception and integration of Third Country Nationals (TCNs) in Europe. The platform will be tested in three languages (Catalan, German and Greek), in real situations that the TCNs, mostly immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers, face, combining linguistic activities, where aspects related to language and culture are worked on. Furthermore, a Visual Analytics Component (VAC) leverages authority (NGOs/State institutions) users’ perceptual and cognitive abilities by employing interactive visualisations as interfaces between users and learning analytics outcomes generated by amassed data. The goal is to find patterns within the characteristics of TCNs, and thus help language teachers adapt the content and tools to TCNs, contributing to greater personalisation in learning.
Emissions associated with meeting the future global wheat demand: A case study of UK production under climate change constraints

Climate change, population growth and socio-structural changes will make meeting future food demands extremely challenging. As wheat is a globally traded food commodity central to the food security of many nations, this paper uses it as an example to explore the impact of climate change on global food supply and quantify the resulting greenhouse gas emissions. Published data on projected wheat production is used to analyse how global production can be increased to match projected demand. The results show that the largest projected wheat demand increases are in areas most likely to suffer severe climate change impacts, but that global demand could be met if northern hemisphere producers exploit climate change benefits to increase production and narrow their yield gaps. Life cycle assessment of different climate change scenarios shows that in the case of one of the most important wheat producers (the UK) it may be possible to improve yields with an increase of only 0.6% in the emission intensity per unit of wheat produced in a 2 °C scenario. However, UK production would need to rise substantially, increasing total UK wheat production emissions by 26%. This demonstrates how national emission inventories and associated targets do not incentivise minimisation of global greenhouse gas emissions while meeting increased food demands, highlighting a triad of challenges: meeting the rising demand for food, adapting to climate change and reducing emissions.

Criticality and dual superfluidity

Low temperature matter exhibits a spectacular variety of highly ordered states that occur through phase
transitions. In quantum systems, phase transitions and associated critical phenomena constitute a central
issue of modern physics. Wilson’s theory of renormalization showed that very different physical systems
could be unified under the same universality class characterized by critical exponents. The high degree of
control offered by ultracold atom experiments sets them as an ideal platform for the investigation of phase
transitions and critical phenomena.
CRITISUP2 aims at exploring criticality in superfluid spin ½ Fermi gases where the interplay between
temperature spin polarization and interactions is at the origin of a rich phase diagram and a variety of phase
transitions. We will measure the corresponding static and dynamic critical exponents, and search for the
long-sought Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) phase predicted over 50 years ago. We will also
study the phase diagram and critical counterflow of dual Bose-Fermi superfluids which have emerged as a
new paradigm of quantum matter. Cutting-edge Bold Diagrammatic Monte Carlo and new resummation
methods, developed in-house, will be confronted to the experiments on the one hand, and provide answers to
debated questions on the other.
The expected outcomes of CRITISUP2 will constitute a major leap forward relevant for several fields of
modern physics, ranging from condensed-matter to astrophysics, nuclear physics, and high energy physics.
e-MObility Transnational strategy for an Interoperable COmmunity and Networking in the Alpine Space

Low and inhomogeneous deployment of electro mobility (e-mobility) characterises Alpine Space (AS). The count of electric charging stations (E-CS) varies from 15 to 235 E-CS per M inhabitants whereas e-vehicles’(EV) number varies from 70 to 470 per M inhabitants. One reason for the inadequate diffusion is low interoperability of E-CS often due to the limited integration of planning instruments used by Public Administrations (PA) and their lack of knowledge in technological innovation and business modelling. If at all, PAs address the issue in an isolated way and leave the investments to private non-coordinated initiatives; therefore there is a need of regional administrations’ capacity building and integrated transnational approach. _x000D_
_x000D_
e-MOTICON brings together 15 partners from 5 countries, involving 40 observers and 8 endorsements from each programme area and Switzerland, including managing authorities, regional bodies, research centres and private investors. The partnership aims to support PAs in ensuring homogeneous development of e-mobility, deploying an innovative transnational strategy of integration among spatial planning, innovative business models and technologies, sustainable mobility patterns, energy efficiency instruments and policies enabling large diffusion of E-CS and wider interoperability. _x000D_
_x000D_
After the analysis of policies, business models and technological solutions, e-MOTICON will deliver a White book on innovative E-CS planning to respect e-mobility requirements in AS transnational strategy and Regional Action Plans. It will provide a toolset to anticipate E-CS network requirements and test it in 3 joint pilot actions. A transnational community will involve PAs and representatives of the e-mobility industrial sector, research centres, regional agencies, end users (residents & tourists) and public transport agencies to improve PAs capacity on E-CS planning, cooperation, increase knowledge and enhance consensus.
Characteristics of children with microbiologically confirmed invasive bacterial infections in the emergency department

Determination of the characteristics of paediatric invasive bacterial infections (IBI) is essential for early identification of children requiring immediate antibiotic therapy. The main objective is to characterize the emergency presentation of the IBI among children aged younger than 14 years.A prospective registry-based cohort study including all patients aged younger than 14 years diagnosed with confirmed IBI (culture or genomic detection using the polymerase chain reaction) was carried out in a paediatric emergency department between 2008 and 2015. Severity criteria were as follows: death, sequelae or admission to the ICU.Of the 223 IBIs reported, 187 (83.9%) corresponded to previously healthy patients (median age=19 months) and 165 (74%) were well appearing. The most common diagnoses were occult bacteraemia [60 (26.9%)] and sepsis [56 (25.1%)]. The most frequent pathogens were Streptococcus pneumoniae [68 (30.5%)] and Neisseria meningitidis [42 (18.8%)]. Four (1.8) patients died (S. pneumoniae, 2) and eight (3.5%) had sequelae (S. pneumoniae, 5). The diagnoses and clinical characteristics of the children varied significantly depending on the isolated pathogen. Duration of fever less than 24 h, symptoms other than fever and not being well-appearing upon arrival to the emergency department were independent risk factors for greater severity (area under the receiver operating characteristics curve=0.805; 95% confidence interval: 0.741-0.868).IBIs are commonly diagnosed in previously healthy and well-appearing young children. S. pneumoniae was responsible for the majority of deaths or sequelae. Short duration of fever, symptoms other than fever and not being stable on arrival are associated with greater severity.
New orientifold weak coupling limits in F-theory

We present new explicit constructions of weak coupling limits of F-theory generalizing Sen's construction to elliptic fibrations which are not necessary given in a Weierstrass form. These new constructions allow for an elegant derivation of several brane configurations that do not occur within the original framework of Sen's limit, or which would require complicated geometric tuning or break supersymmetry. Our approach is streamlined by first deriving a simple geometric interpretation of Sen's weak coupling limit. This leads to a natural way of organizing all such limits in terms of transitions from semistable to unstable singular fibers. These constructions provide a new playground for model builders as they enlarge the number of supersymmetric configurations that can be constructed in F-theory. We present several explicit examples for E8, E7 and E6 elliptic fibrations.
Strengthening institutional cooperation in the cross-border area through innovative solutions in public transport and civil motorization procedures

One of the main reasons limiting the harmonization of services and legislation in the cross-border area is the lack of cooperation and institutional dialogue between the main regional stakeholders. As a consequence, citizens of border areas experiment daily difficulties in accessing public services and in managing their administrative practices. To this end, the FORTIS project intends to identify innovative solutions to facilitate lives of citizens of cross-border areas and to promote institutional dialogue, through: the improvement of local public transport systems with a view to cross-border integration and exchange of good administrative practices in relation to different civil motorization legislation. Following a gap analysis, specific pilot actions will test experimental solutions to improve services and dialogue, allowing the establishment of a stable institutional cooperation network.
Calibration and integration of peripheral and foveal information in human vision

Human visual perception is one of the best-studied areas of research on the human mind. However, 99% of that research is concentrated on the central region making up less than 1% of our visual field. This is the region that gets mapped onto the fovea, where vision is best. However, information from the peripheral parts of a scene is highly important. Mediated by attention and eye movements, it is essential for guiding us through our environment. In the brain, the foveal and peripheral parts of the visual field undergo vastly different processing regimes. Since objects normally do not change their appearance, whether we view them foveally or peripherally, our visual system must integrate and calibrate peripheral information before an eye movement with foveal information after an eye movement.
We are planning to address these processes in four series of experiments. First, we will study the perception of basic visual features, such as orientation, numerosity and colour across the visual field and their integration in peripheral and foveal vision across eye movements. Second, we will investigate how this integration is supported by attention and memory resources. Third, since the integration requires learning and plasticity, we will track changes across the life span and study how healthy subjects can learn to compensate for artificial changes of peripheral and foveal vision. And fourth, we will explore whether we can manipulate the integration process for the optimal guidance of eye movements in complex natural search tasks. 
The project will provide insights how the brain achieves a stable and homogeneous representation of the visual environment despite the ever changing sensory input and the inhomogeneity of processing across the visual field. We will reveal the basic learning mechanisms that allow a continuous calibration of peripheral and foveal vision, and that could be used in the long run for behavioural training of patients suffering from vision impairments.
Systems and methods for controlling water temperature in toilets and bidets

A process includes setting a preset temperature; setting up a counter, wherein a first number is displayed on the counter in response to a water control switch switching from a low position to a high position, a second number is displayed on the counter in response to the water control switching from the high position to the low position; setting a target temperature in response to a first determination as to whether the first number or the second number is displayed on the counter, wherein the target temperature is equal to the preset temperature in response to the first number being displayed and the target temperature is equal to preset temperature less an adjustment temperature in response to the second number being displayed; and maintaining the target temperature for a period of time, then restoring the target temperature to the preset temperature after the period of time.
METHODS OF RECYCLING OIL FROM A DIRECT PHASE EMULSION

<i>In Vitro</i>Antibacterial and Antibiotic Resistance Modifying Effect of Bioactive Plant Extracts on Methicillin-Resistant<i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i>

The crude extracts of plants from Asteraceae and Lamiaceae family and essential oils from Salvia officinalis and Salvia sclarea were studied for their antibacterial as well as antibiotic resistance modifying activity. Using disc diffusion and broth microdilution assays we determined higher antibacterial effect of three Salvia spp. and by evaluating the leakage of 260 nm absorbing material we detected effect of extracts and, namely, of essential oils on the disruption of cytoplasmic membrane. The evaluation of in vitro interactions between plant extracts and oxacillin described in terms of fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) indices revealed synergistic or additive effects of plant extracts and clearly synergistic effects of essential oil from Salvia officinalis with oxacillin in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis .
