Child custody issues and co-occurrence of intimate partner violence and child maltreatment: controversies and points of agreement amongst practitioners

The situation of families undergoing separation in a context of co-occurrence of intimate partner violence (IPV) and child maltreatment raises certain issues related to child custody. The results presented in this paper were collected and analysed within the framework of a qualitative study aiming to identify the principal points of agreement and the main controversies amongst practitioners in several different types of organizations. Focus groups were held with a total of 43 practitioners from six different settings concerned with child custody in cases of co-occurrence of IPV and child maltreatment. Although they agreed on the importance of ensuring the safety of victims of violence, their views diverged on three points: (1) the importance of preserving the father–child relationship; (2) collaboration between voluntary organizations and semi-voluntary or legal agencies; and (3) consideration of cultural differences.
The mind's eye: how expectation and attention shape perception

Perception is more than meet’s the eye; how we see the world is critically shaped by attention (what is relevant) and as a growing body of work indicates, by past experience (what is likely). Overturning the classical notion of perception as a largely bottom-up process, the idea that our brain is a prediction machine, continually trying to predict what is ‘out there’ based on past experience, is quickly growing in stature and influence. Yet, little is still known about how predictions shape perceptual experience. Moreover, it is completely unknown to what extent predictive processing occurs automatically. Lastly, how the brain ultimately ‘decides’ on one hypothesis or interpretation of the current sensory state is still unclear. The proposed research program will address these outstanding questions with the ultimate aim to better understand how the brain infers the world and the mechanisms that give rise to perceptual experience. It will do so through an integrated application of psychophysical, neuroimaging, brain stimulation, mathematical modelling, and pharmacological techniques. The research program comprises three projects. The first project will examine how expectations are implemented in the brain and shape stimulus processing, independently from and aided by attention. The second project will reveal if one can teach oneself to be free of expectation and associated habitual responding, through intensive mental training, as cultivated by meditation. The third project will test the idea that the striatum, a subcortical brain region, and its irrigation by the neurotransmitter dopamine play a critical role in updating our internal model about the environment and thereby conscious perception. The proposed research will be critical in elucidating the mechanisms that underlie experience and the extent to which these mechanisms are plastic, and will have important implications for the study of clinical disorders characterized by dysfunctional experience of the world.
PERSISTENT DATA STORAGE FOR CLIENT COMPUTER SOFTWARE PROGRAMS

Persistent data storage for client computer software programs is provided using a repository that enables client computer software programs to store data securely on a client computer system, subsequently retrieve that data, and optionally share the data in a controlled fashion with authorized client computer software programs. The present invention can be used by both trusted and untrusted client computer software programs that either reside locally on the client computer system or are downloaded from a server computer system. A benefit of the present invention is that it allows untrusted applets to have access to persistent storage without compromising the integrity of the client computer system. Since the present invention controls persistent storage space, not the programmer of the client computer software program, the burden of insuring storage integrity and security is removed from the programmer. In addition to basic integrity and security features, the present invention provides automatic data format conversion for a client computer software programs reading/writing data in the data repository, a commit operation to force in-memory repository data to disk, and automatic expiration to delete the repository data to disk, and automatic expiration to delete the repository after a predetermined time period. The repository can be pre-limited to a maximum size and shared among multiple client computer software programs.
228 Therapeutic Effect of Surfactant Inhalation on Lungs Donated after Cardiac Death in a Canine Lung Transplantation Model

Purpose: In lung transplantation, donation after cardiac death (DCD) has been introduced worldwide. To date, several programs have reported acceptable outcomes; however, the number of patients on waiting lists is indeed much more than that of the donated organs. Therefore, we considered the effective use of marginal donor grafts from uncontrolled DCD donors by investigating the effect of surfactant inhalation against pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury in canine lungs from DCD donors. Methods and Materials: Donor dogs were rendered cardiac-dead and left at room temperature. Following cardiac arrest for 240 min, ventilation with 100% oxygen was performed for 60 min. The dogs were allocated into two groups: The NS group (n 7) received aerosolized normal saline and the SF group (n 5) received aerosolized surfactant during the 60 min of ventilation. Thereafter the recipient dogs underwent single left lung transplantation. The right main pulmonary artery was ligated at 45 min after reperfusion to evaluate the functions of the transplanted left lung for 240 min after the reperfusion. Results: In the NS group, two animals died of severe pulmonary edema at 75 min of reperfusion, while in the SF group, all 5 animals survived for 240 min after reperfusion. At the end of reperfusion, surfactant inhalation significantly increased dynamic compliance (p 0.001), oxygenation (p 0.01), and inhibited pulmonary edema (p 0.01). Surfactant inhalation effectively increased lung tissue levels of ATP and ADP (ATP, ADP: p 0.05), and also decreased IL-8 and TNF-alpha in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (IL-8: p 0.01, TNF-alpha: p 0.05). Histologically, lungs in the SF group showed fewer signs of interstitial edema and hemorrhage, and less neutrophilic infiltration than those in the NS group. Conclusions: Our results confirmed that surfactant inhalation in the last phase of warm ischemia prevented ischemia-reperfusion injury. This method may contribute to improve the graft function from DCD donors and to expand the donor pool.

Mechanism of type 9 secretion: an unusual protein transport system involved in pathogenesis and motility

The recently-discovered Type IX Secretion System (T9SS) is a protein transport pathway that exports proteins across the outer membrane of Gram-negative of the phylum Bacteroidetes. It is an essential pathogenicity determinant in severe periodontal disease and in the major bacterial diseases of farmed fish. It is also required for the unique Bacteroidete gliding motility. The components required to catalyse T9SS export are still not fully defined, but include at least 18 authenticated proteins. Possible functions can currently only be assigned to some of these T9SS components. However, it is clear that the pathway involves a number of interacting protein complexes. 
    Our current understanding of the T9SS is superficial and lacking in molecular level structural and mechanistic detail. In a landmark recent study we have identified and structurally characterized the multi-protein outer membrane protein conducting channel of the T9SS. Our ambitious goal is to apply similar state-of-the-art experimental methods to systematically characterise the full T9SS pathway.
  We will systematically characterise the component protein complexes that make up the T9SS by:
-  Defining their composition through co-purification from native sources.
-  Determining their molecular structures by cryo-EM.
-  Assessing their dynamic interactions through live cell fluorescence imaging, biochemical experiments, and structural characterization.
  In addition, we will use single molecule tracking methods to follow substrate molecules through the steps of the T9SS transport cycle in real time in live bacterial cells and apply this methodology to elucidate T9SS mechanism.
Acceleration evaluation method using intrinsically redundant measurements

The process for evaluation the acceleration of a vehicle wheel uses an accelerometer with three sensing axes. These are not aligned with the axes of measurement, but rather allow calculation of the required values by combination of components. The procedure provides an evaluation of the acceleration experienced in longitudinal (L) transverse (T) and vertical (V) directions, for example by the wheel of motor vehicle. This is achieved by an accelerometer having three axes of sensitivity. The accelerometer is orientated such that each of its axes (X,Y,Z) is not parallel with one of the axes (L,T,V) along which the acceleration is to be measured. The measurements provided by the accelerometer for each sensing axis (X,Y,Z) allow calculation of the components of acceleration along at least two of the axes of interest (L, T, V). The process thus enables determination of the acceleration along two of the axes of interest.
Integral open technology for industry 4.0

The Industry 4.0 is creating new opportunities to enhance the competitiveness of industries, a sector accounting for 2M enterprises, 33M jobs and 60% of  EU productivity growth. However, SMEs risk missing the train of digitalisation because existing proprietary technologies for automation and control are expensive and do not provide the flexibility required in dynamic industrial environments.

The IOTI4.0 project aims to disrupt the market of industrial automation and control (a market worth $153.3Bn) through a highly innovative business concept: the use of Open Source Hardware (OSHW) in professional industrial environments. OSHW brings great benefits to the user in terms of cost, flexibility, security and interoperability. It also delivers growing benefits to the economy. However existing solutions are not sufficiently developed nor professionalised to serve the needs of industry. 
IOTI4.0 will bring into the market the first interoperable, standardised (IEC61131-compliant) OSHW-based technology for Industry 4.0 (both hardware devices and intelligent programming software). It will do so at a much more affordable price (50% cheaper on average) thanks to the fact that OSHW does not have the added cost of a proprietary licence. Applicable to industries of any sizes and sectors, IOTI4.0 will make digitalisation accessible to any SME willing to transition to Industry 4.0. 
 
The company behind IOTI4.0 is Boot & Work, a young SME (Barcelona, 2012) specialised in OSHW solutions for industry. With a team of 16 staff, in just a few years, we have achieved a track record in international sales (1,200 clients in 85 countries). IOTI4.0 is the cornerstone of our strategic plan to accelerate growth. With an investment of 1.4M€, the new products and software services will be ready by end-2020. We expect 4M€ in revenues in 2020, reaching 37M€ and 48 employees in 5 years. Our ambition is to become the biggest provider of industrial solutions based on Open Source Hardware worldwide.
Discrete element simulations of granular pile formation

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine several calibration techniques that have been developed to determine the discrete element method (DEM) parameters for slow and rapid unconfined flow of granular conical pile formation. This paper also aims to discuss some of the methods currently employed to scale particle properties to reduce computational resources and time to solve large DEM models.Design/methodology/approach – DEM models have been calibrated against simple bench‐scale experimental results to examine the validity of selected parameters for the contact, material and mechanical models to simulate the dynamic and static behaviour of cohesionless polyethylene pellets. Methods to determine quantifiable single particle parameters such as static friction and the coefficient of restitution have been highlighted. Numerical and experimental granular pile formation has been investigated using different slumping and pouring techniques to examine the dependency of the type of flow mechanism on the D...
Comparing existing national and international classification systems of surgical procedures with the CEN/ISO 1828 ontology framework standard.

Among different standardization strategies for biomedical terminologies the European Standard Body CEN TC 251 followed by ISO TC 215 have stated that it was not possible to convince the different European or international member states using different national languages to agree on a reference clinical terminology or to standardize a detailed language independent biomedical ontology. Since 1990 they have developed since an approach named the Categorial Structure that standardises only the terminologies' model structure. The methodology for the Categorial Structure development and a comparison of the different existing classification systems based on this ontology framework is presented as a step towards increased interoperability between biomedical terminologies through conformity to a minimum set of ontological requirements.

Centre of excellence in digital health and personalised medicine

We propose to establish a Centre of Excellence in Digital Health and Personalised Medicine (CLINNOVA), addressing future medical and societal needs. A prerequisite for personalised medicine is the establishment of clinical research in Luxembourg, the current weakness that we would like to overcome with the programme. The Centre will build on the previous investments into fundamental biomedical research and link to the hospitals in Luxembourg to ensure that innovation from the bench will reach the clinic and patient care. 
The Centre will fully incorporate personalised medicine approaches integrating medical history from eHealth records with newly generated molecular and phenotypic data as well as environmental and/or health data from mobile devices. 
Teaming up with the Center for Innovativ Medicinsk Teknologi, Region Syddanmark (CIMT-RSD) and the Nationale Centrum für Tumorerkrankungen, Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (NCT-DKFZ) will allow us to benefit from the immense experience and world-leadership has in setting up modern eHealth infrastructures and translational cancer research. 
We will focus on areas where there is both existing excellence in pre-clinical research and an important clinical unmet need, namely the disease areas of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases with the transversal axis immunology as important element in both disease areas. 
Environmental, nutritional and social influences interpreted together with the medical history of patients and molecular diagnostic information will be key to gain an understanding of the diseases for the individual person. A strong ICT component will be a major success factor: data integration and interpretation are needed to derive computational models and predictions on disease development. 
The Centre will combine all aspects of technological innovation with clinical care and bring innovations to patients and doctors serving as an attractor for companies and further develop the local ecosystem.
Movement Pattern Histogram for Action Recognition and Retrieval

AbstractWe present a novel action representation based on encoding the global temporal movement of an action. We represent an action as a set of movement pattern histograms that encode the global temporal dynamics of an action. Our key observation is that temporal dynamics of an action are robust to variations in appearance and viewpoint changes, making it useful for action recognition and retrieval. We pose the problem of computing similarity between action representations as a maximum matching problem in a bipartite graph. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method for cross-view action recognition on the IXMAS dataset. We also show how our representation complements existing bag-of-features representations on the UCF50 dataset. Finally we show the power of our representation for action retrieval on a new real-world dataset containing repetitive motor movements emitted by children with autism in an unconstrained classroom setting.KeywordsAction RecognitionTransfer LearningViewpoint ChangeFisher VectorBackground MotionThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

Atomic layer deposition of highly conductive indium oxide using a liquid precursor and water oxidant

Abstract Atomic layer deposition (ALD) of In 2 O 3 films was investigated using a novel liquid precursor, [3-(dimethylamino)propyl] dimethyl indium (DADI). Typical ALD growth was observed at a substrate temperature of 275 °C, with relatively high growth rates of 0.6 A/cycle. The In 2 O 3 layer exhibits low resistivity (9.2×10 −5  Ω cm) with relatively high optical transparency (>80% between 420 and 700 nm). The carrier concentration is approximately one or two orders of magnitude higher than those reported in the literature. The origin of such electrical properties is investigated with respect to the microstructure and chemical properties of the In 2 O 3 film.

Efficient Practices of Land Use Management Integrating Water Resources Protection and Non-structural Flood Mitigation Experiences

Several territorial challenges common to CE countries ask for adapted and target-oriented land-use activities concerning protection of water resources, balancing conflicts of land-use pressure on water and adaptation to climate change issues despite uncertain prognoses. A function-oriented and land use based spatial management for drinking water protection is strongly required. But best practices already elaborated haven’t yet been successfully applied.
The main objective of PROLINE-CE is improved protection of drinking water resources as well as protection against floods/droughts in an integrated land use management approach, in order to facilitate implementation of existing strategies and management plans, as well as to capitalize and transform them into reality, towards improved organisational structures and effectiveness of land-use management. PROLINE-CE will encompass efficient implementation of innovative best practices of land use and water protection in pilot actions, aiming at --transnational levelling of fundamental visions, --elaboration of policy support and --implementation support at operational level. This will be demonstrated in “GOWARE” tool (Guide towards Optimal WAter REgime).
This will be supported by different capacity building efforts tailored to the defined target groups. Besides intensive stakeholder engagement and feedback loops on national and transnational level, visibility of actions will be enhanced by a Declaration Charta, in order to bundle efforts towards efficiently and effectively implemented management practices targeting drinking water protection. The partnership is composed by both policy support and policy implementation representatives and thus management options for the challenging project topics will be applicable. Hence, PROLINE-CE provides cost efficient management methods and ensures dissemination regarding land use and drinking water protection management on a macroregional scale all over CE programme area.
Queering Gender: The New <i>Femme Fatale</i> in Almodóvar’s La mala educación (2004)

It is difficult to define film genres in the post-modern cinema, as they are strongly influenced by the conventions of classic genres. Within this context the emergence of transgressive or “dissident” identities have populated such genres and particularly the creation of a modern femme fatale has become a popular and polemical character in contemporary fiction. This new transgressive identity deviates from its counterpart in classical cinema-film noir. Pedro Almodovar’s La mala educacion (2004) reveals that the modern femme fatale has become at the turn of the twenty-first century an integral part of the queer community, thus proposing a new filmic platform of queering gender for the vindication of the rights of the (“other”) stigmatized identities.
