Global transitions and innovation systems

World development is at a critical turning point. Globalisation has become ever more impactful. At the same time, we see a new long term industrial development cycle (or techno-economic paradigm; TEP) coming into full swing that builds on Information and Communications Technology (ICT) while societies all over the world have to cope with sustainability challenges. These changes lead to a situation where industrial leadership may rapidly shift from one country to another. Europe 2020 reckoned these challenges under its Flagship Initiatives, in particular “An industrial policy for the globalisation era’’. Drawing on scholarship from the field of Innovation Studies, GLOTRAINS aims to make major contributions to the emerging global innovation system frameworks, combining literatures on industrial catch-up cycles and shifts in global leadership. More specifically, the project aims at further elaborating the Innovation System framework to encompass a globalised and dynamic perspective, while asking whether and how national industrial policy can still play a decisive role. Empirically, this project focuses on both long and short cycle sectors to reflect the two main propositions of the TEP hypothesis, i.e. the sustainability-driven clean-tech sector and the ICT sector. Both involve different types of catch-up mechanisms. Fieldwork cases are organised along a gradient of development stages represented by the countries of Germany, China/Taiwan and Malaysia. The selection of these countries provides an excellent base to examine global catch-up cycles and industrial leadership shifts. The researcher has experience in both transition and catch-up studies, with fieldwork experience in both long and short cycle sectors in China, Taiwan and Malaysia.

Estratégias participativas para a intervenção em saúde: relato de experiência no pet-saúde graduasus

Este trabajo relata una experiencia de trabajo interdisciplinario desarrollada por profesores, estudiantes de una Licenciatura en salud, profesionales de la salud y actores sociales de una comunidad, dentro del Programa de Educación para el Trabajo PET-Salud GraduaSUS. La primera parte del proyecto se concentró en un diagnóstico participativo de la situación de salud en la ciudad de Porto Seguro, Brasil, a partir del cual fueron planeadas acciones de intervención, junto con la comunidad. Específicamente, el texto presenta una serie de talleres realizados con, estudiantes de una escuela de la región, que apuntaron la violencia como uno de los principales problemas de su territorio. Los talleres fueron ofertados como un dispositivo de reflexión, articulación y elaboración de experiencias de violencia y, al mismo tiempo, como un espacio de reflexión y cuestionamiento de prácticas de discriminación y de violación de los derechos humanos, con las que los jóvenes tienen contacto en su cotidianidad. El trabajo reafirmo la potencia de las estrategias intervención social participativas para producir transformaciones sociales y subjetivas, inclusive en relación a problemas el campo de salud.
Paragraph Writing as A Sensibility-Based Productive Skill

Abstract Paragraph writing in the context of Academic Writing in a number of academies and universities in Indonesia is considered a skill whose mastery needs reasoning or logical thinking besides knowledge of grammatical rules, lexis, and also ability to translate from bahasa Indonesia into English effectively and efficiently. Logical thinking should be exercised ever since the student writers begin their initial up to the final phase of writing a paragraph. They may not necessarily pour down their ideas in sentences the way they like. This is because first of all they have to determine the main idea, also known as topic sentence, that needs formulating from the general subject or topic that is still too broad to be developed. To formulate the topic sentence, they have to exercise their logical thinking. Then, the main idea has to be supported by supporting sentences which are related to one another. The process of writing supporting sentences and their interrelationship should also be based on logical thinking. Finally, the paragraph is closed by means of a sentence which concludes the discussion of the whole paragraph. A paragraph that flows smoothly or, in other words, is readable is, without any doubt, the one that is effective and sensible.
Symmetry-dependent screening of surface plasmons in ultrathin supported films: The case of Al/Si(111)

A joint theoretical and experimental study of plasmon excitations for Al overlayers on Si(111) has been carried out. The presence of the substrate is found to drastically modify the hybridization and charge density response of the surface plasmons of the metal overlayers. The symmetric mode, which is polarized toward the Al/Si interface, is strongly damped in intensity and significantly redshifted in energy. However, the antisymmetric mode, which is polarized to the metal-vacuum interface, is essentially unaffected by the presence of the substrate. A low-energy acoustic plasmon mode is also found in a one monolayer Al film and is almost unaffected by the substrate. The calculated plasmon dispersions with substrate are in good agreement with experimental data measured by electron energy loss spectroscopy. Our results suggest that interaction and screening at the subnanometer scale are symmetry dependent, a conclusion that may have general implications in other thin films and related structures.
Indium-Phosphide pilot line for up-scaled, low-barrier, self-sustained, pic ecosystem

InP photonic integrated circuits (PICs) offer game changing performance capabilities across multiple market sectors. Alas, the possibilities have so far been restricted to a small number of vertically-integrated technology businesses. Europe boasts tens of innovative businesses who are positioned to develop PIC-enabled technologies , but – alas again – they do not have access to mature,  fast-turnaround predictable, high performance production. 

InPulse is a manufacturing pilot line for InP PICs which will transform the PIC industry from a vertically integrated model with all skills in-house within a small number of specialized businesses, to an open-access horizontal model accessible to all European innovators. InPulse puts in place the technological and operational processes to: 
1)	Accelerate the uptake of PIC technology in new markets: enabling SMEs to create tens of products in markets where PICs have not be used before.
2)	Enable sustainable production in Europe creating aligned, scalable and inter-locking services and value chains
3)	Accelerate time to market from years to under 24 months with predictive design for fewer and faster product design cycles
4)	Qualify foundry processes, to TRL7, sharing process optimization across products

InPulse combines low entrance-threshold, mature-manufacturing to enable tens of European PIC innovators.
 InPulse is validated by:
•	A “Pilot Line Validation Program” with two Participants stretching performance 
•	A “Demonstrator Open Call” program enabling external users to take thirty designs to pre-production 
•	High frequency open access calls, sustainable beyond the end of the project 

InPulse partners have played a pioneering role in open access InP PICs, creating an infrastructure for research and early stage development. We are very well positioned to enable high TRL development in a scalable design kit driven process driving open access InP PICs from proof of concept to industrial prototyping and pre-production.
Catalytic csp3-h functionalization via carbene insertion meets sustainability: developing an unprecedented iron methodology

Proposed to break new ground quickly and to establish new frontiers in cutting-edge Csp3-H functionalization chemistry, this proposal focuses on the development and exploitation of iron catalysed carbene transfer towards saturated hydrocarbons, a vast and low cost feedstock for the synthesis of more valuable chemicals. By rational design and evaluation of low toxicity and low cost iron complexes equipped with different electronic and steric properties, new environmental benign and sustainable catalytic strategies will be instilled into this promising synthetic methodology. Extending beyond the confines of traditional precious metals catalysed carbene transference, new non-hazardous sources for these fragments, compared with the currently employed diazocompounds, will be designed and refined in sulfur ylide compounds and zinc carbenoid reagents. The project will benefit from the accumulated wealth of experience of the candidate Dr. Hernán-Gómez in synthesis, characterization and kinetic studies of highly reactive organometallic reagents, spanning from transition metals to main group elements. This will offer valuable mechanistic insights into the investigated processes, including unequivocal identification of the catalytic active species, key aspects to progress the proposed project. Additionally, through collaboration with supervisor Prof. Costas, an internationally recognised leader in the chemistry of iron compounds applied to organic synthesis, Dr. Hernán-Gómez will be provided with the required support to successfully push forwards the frontiers of the proposed research line in the field of iron chemistry, a stepping stone towards achieving a senior academic position.
Learning and generation of temporal sequences in the neocortex

The temporal structure of neuronal activity plays a fundamental role in brain function. In addition to the compelling structure found in birdsong, repeating temporal sequences have been experimentally observed in the mammalian neocortex, both at the levels of local field potentials and individual neurons. The mechanisms underlying the learning and generation of temporal sequences are currently unknown. An attractive idea is that time-asymmetric Hebbian mechanisms capture the temporal structure of afferent signals by selectively strengthening the connections between sequentially activated neuronal populations. We explore some consequences of this idea using a simplified model of neocortex. Our model uses excitatory and inhibitory firing rate variables, along with adaptation and time-asymmetric Hebbian plasticity to create a versatile pattern generator which can store and reconstruct input sequences. We study several related properties of this model, mainly: 1) the formation of intersecting and complex sequences, 2) how the structure in the connection matrix affects the dynamics of the system and the symmetries observed in the activity of the network, 3) pathological behaviors due to abnormalities in plasticity and inhibition; the possible relation with epilepsy.
Study Abroad and the City: Mapping Urban Histories

The accumulation by study abroad students of course-related onsite study excursions to museums, historical sites and celebrated buildings no doubt results in meaningful learning experiences. However, to make study abroad cities truly effective as sites for learning, educators must employ a well-conceived and theoretically-grounded approach that emphasizes the geographical, historical, and cultural formation of community identities linked to related urban spaces. Using a case study designed to analyze urban landscapes of LGBT communities in Paris, this article shows how mapping can be employed to use the city as a laboratory for intercultural learning, identity formation, and tolerance of diversity. This approach is based on best practices in experiential learning set forth by the National Society for Experiential Education (NSEE). Examples of exercises and templates for onsite study are included.
A trajetória do uso do solo por florestas na região dos campos de Lages

The history of soil use by forests during XX century in Campos de Lages region, Santa Catarina state, Brazil was studied. The changes in the soil use and its relations to sociotechnical contexts have been approached, along with how these relations have affected the meaning and the value of forest soils in the Regions history. To understand the relations among soils, forests and society, a conceptual arrangement was used based on Actor-network Theory (ANT). Since the early XIX Century, when the Region insertion in Minas Gerais network through the tropeirismo occurred, cattle creation has been the typical scenario of the native landscape use. In 1940´s, changes on sociotechniques initiated the “cycle of the pine”, with intense Araucaria angustifolia wood exploitation. At the end of XX Century, the “soil forest vocation” was modified by forestry. However, existing controversies about the reforestations might change the meaning of the soil used by forests, creating a new confl ict. The study concludes that the forest use was more diverse. The forest soil had assumed distinct meanings for different actors in the course of time, although keeping the same sociallogic of land use.

Multi-Level multi-phase fluid animation

Fluid simulation is a challenging and dynamic research area in computer graphics and animation community, which are in line with the practical demands of the visual effects and computer animation industry for high quality images. Methods offering fine fluid details, controllable art design, phase transition and diffusion phenomena are valuable for the industry. MultiFluid will develop a multilevel theory and hybrid solution with tools to provide a coherent multi-level enhancement to refine the fluid details and offer user-friendly controls in animation. Within this framework, it will develop a multi-phase interaction and phase-transition model to consider complex physics beyond the state of the art, which aims to create realistic images for computer animation and visual effects production.

MultiFluid is designed to resolve the mismatch in digital creation. It aims to advance knowledge in physically-based modelling and fluid dynamics with a distinctive unified theoretical framework to incorporate new mathematical understanding in particle-grid based numerical simulation, which tackles computer animation production with priority but also bring new knowledge into fluid simulation with a new numerical approach and tools. This multidisciplinary research is ambitious and revolutionary to combine competencies from fluid mechanics and animation artists to benefit stakeholders directly and generate impact.

The fellowship will help the ER to develop his new capacity in multiple disciplines, esp. in fluid simulation and computer animation and open new career opportunities. Knowledge Transfer will happen among the fellow, the supervisors and stake holders to forge innovative development to answer the challenges. The investment is timely and necessary with sizable return in economic growth to address EU ICT research strategy on boosting digital contents generation and support industry competitiveness with innovative ICT development for visual effects and computer animation.
Effects of combinatorial in vitro stimulation with glucocorticoids and vitamin D3 on the expression of Foxp3 in CD4+ T cells of healthy individuals

Abstract Glucocorticoid (GC) resistance (GR) poses a serious clinical problem affecting a proportion of asthmatic patients. Thus the efforts aimed at exploring therapeutic methods allowing for overcoming GR are still warranted. To date, vitamin D3 was found to exert certain effects indicating that it can potentially supplement the effects of GC therapy in asthmatic patients. Here we wished to investigate whether treatment with GC and/or vitamin D3 can modulate the expression of one of crucial immunomodulatory molecules accounting for suppressive actions of natural regulatory T cells (Treg cells), namely forkhead box P3 (FoxP3). We demonstrated here that 24 h in vitro stimulation with either GC or vit. D3 (alone or in combination) did not significantly affect neither frequencies of CD4+FoxP3+ T cells or the levels of expression of FoxP3 within CD4+ T cells derived from healthy individuals. Therefore we hypothesize that anti-inflammatory actions of both GC and vit. D3 do not seem to be directly related to changes in the expression of FoxP3 in CD4+ T cells.

The strategy of shifting cultivators in West Kalimantan in adapting to the market economy: empirical evidence behind gaps in interdisciplinary communication

Issues of climate change and expansion of large-scale land acquisition for industrial plantations continue to ravage the shifting cultivation system that 300–500 million subsistence farmer households depend on. In Indonesia, particularly in Kalimantan and Sumatera, village communities continue to practice shifting cultivation amidst the conversion of lands into industrial plantations. The rampant conversion of farmer's land by large scale companies based in the market economy has resulted in the decline of the shifting cultivation system, and compelled them to enter commercial production. I employed qualitative methods, conducting in-depth interviews and observations in West Kalimantan in 2018. Shifting cultivation today is not just for subsistence, but it is also a strategy to maintain claims to land that has been handed over to companies. Concurrently, people have been developing community plantations using industrial commodities such as rubber and oil palm, which still incorporate subsistence features. The changes occurring in villages have led to conflict since land availability has reduced, while the alternative of working for forestry and plantation companies is hampered by their lack of skills and knowledge. Theoretically, this study indicates the need for communication and synergy between the perspectives of political ecology and cultural ecology in order to understand the socio-politico-economic complexities haunting the village community's alterations in subsistence strategies. The practical implications are that land-based village development should open up communication among stakeholders and position village communities as the key beneficiary in the long run. Keywords: Shifting cultivation, land conversion, adaptation strategy, market economy, political ecology, Kalimantan, Indonesia
Introduction of Regional Energy Concepts

The classic central energy systems based on fossil fuels and nuclear power have a central supply distributing the energy to the consumers. Contrary to this, renewable energies and energy efficiency need the action of many persons, citizens, municipalities and enterprises in order to succeed. In addition the acceptance of the population plays important role in the change towards renewable energies. Subjects like wind energy turbines in a tourist region already spark controversial discussions among the citizens. The aim of the project is to overcome this skepticism of the public to renewable energies in general and to foster consensus on their use by public.
European model for Public Transport Authority as a key factor leading to transport sustainability.

The EU has established policy goals to achieve a more sustainable transport system.The complexity of meeting the mobility needs of all its citizens requires a clearer vision and an effective and coordinated governance approach. It is important for policy makers and local governments to coordinate competences among different stakeholders at different levels within a clear and proper policy framework. In order to increase transport sustainability, with specific actions on public transport, different approaches were already adopted, among which the establishment of specific authorities. These authorities (Public Transport Authorities–PTAs or Organising Authorities–OAs) act in the public interest and ensure a well functioning integrated transport system within their territory, but competencies and tasks are often different, making it difficult to identify a successful MODEL. PTA as entity can be centralised (office in the local government) or decentralised (separate public owned company)
depending on political choice.The EPTA proposal aims at increasing public transport sustainability focussing on environmental, energy and economic aspects through the identification of a MODEL of PTA as a powerful tool of governance.As a strategy the use of 3 leverages such as Quality, Efficiency and Efficacy will be applied to the 7 key activities related to public transport sector governance: Regulate, Plan, Tender/Award, Integrate, Promote, Manage, Control. The key concept is that these 7 activities should be concentrated in a single body able to support policy makers and involve relevant stakeholders. Good practices across Europe will be identified, collected and transferred into regional development policies, to produce, as final result, a transferable and customizable MODEL to be adopted for the successful implementation or re-organization of a PTA. The consortium is made of 11 partners (PTAs, a Region, Local Governments, a Network and a University with Internationally recognised
key expertise in public transport) from 9 EU Regions and 1 from Norway. The project is designed to include partners representing the main competences involved in mobility governance and embrace different perspectives on the issue.The EPTA structure provides an ideal context for exchanging experiences and good practices regarding PTAs activities and mission. The work planned includes: 1)exchange and sharing of experience on how to develop and operate a PTA through a series of training courses and workshops; 2)consolidation and transfer of good practices among involved areas; 3)promotion of policy tools and regulatory guidelines at local, regional, national levels for PTA establishment and organization.The project outcomes and durable results include: experiences exchange to increase skills and awareness among key policy makers on PTA MODEL for improving sustainable, economic and energy efficiency in public transport. Positive social side effects will also result as indirect added value.
