Skinfactory 2.0: gmp-in-a-box

CUTISS AG is a Swiss start-up company that develops customized human skin autografts (denovoSkin™) for the treatment of large skin defects like burns and malformations. DenovoSkin™ possesses the right features to minimize scarring after transplantation and is currently in clinical phase II in Europe. While manual production of denovoSkin™ is sufficient in the development phase and clinical trials, automation of the manufacturing process is essential to scale the technology for larger demand and internationalization, and to be competitive with current standard treatments. The proposed recruitment of an Innovation Associate will have significant impact on the development of an automated system for the manufacturing of denovoSkin™ (SkinFactory 2.0), enabling production lines at industrial scale and around the world. The grant will help to overcome the recruitment barriers of being a relatively unknown, small start-up enterprise that cannot compete with larger companies due to limited visibility, brand awareness, (perceived) career opportunities, salary and recruitment budget. The translation of the manual production process of denovoSkin™ to an GMP-in-a-box automation platform requires the employment of a multi-disciplinary researcher that understands both the cell biology and complex requirements of tissue engineering as well as the mechatronics and industrial design of automation. The envisaged Innovation Associate has to bring a multidisciplinary set of skills in to CUTISS and will have the opportunity to become an expert in the emerging field of bio-engineering. It is in the interest of the company to continue the employment after the initial year in order to develop the delivered prototype into an industrially producible end product. Successful market introduction of SkinFactory 2.0 will put CUTISS in the forefront of a new, emerging field of automated production of personalized, bio-engineered tissue, which is expected to change medicine radically.

Transnational healing: therapeutic trajectories in spiritual trance

This multi-sited comparative ethnographic research has three objectives: 1. to examine the transnational mobility of practices and concepts related to spiritual healing and trance; 2. to compare the use of these practices in the therapeutic trajectories between spirituality and biomedicine of patients in North and South America, and Europe; and 3. to investigate the role of religious/spiritual learning in patients' health and well-being. In order to achieve these objectives, THETRANCE asks the following questions: how do therapeutic practices involving spiritual trance move and settle transnationally? How do trance-based healing practices become part of the therapeutic trajectories of people moving between spirituality and biomedicine? How do participants learn and narrate about spiritual trance, with what kinds of consistencies and differences across cultures, and how are these relevant for therapeutic purposes? Through an approach that combines social and medical anthropology, and the anthropology of religion, drawing parallels with research in psychology and psychiatry, THETRANCE focuses upon a specific cases of people learning spiritual trance for therapeutic purposes, for physical and mental health and to recover from substance addictions. The methodology is grounded in a multi-sited comparative ethnographic research in temples of the Spiritualist Christian Order Vale do Amanhecer (Valley of the Dawn) in Brazil, the United States, Portugal and Italy. THETRANCE is innovative in combining the analysis of therapeutic trajectories between spirituality and biomedicine with the focus upon the process of learning spiritual trance through a transnational perspective. In doing so, it unsettles pathological reductions of spiritual trance to understand how these experiences are rather used therapeutically in industrialized societies, contributing to the current debates on the discernment between spiritual and pathological experiences.
CMB circular and B -mode polarization from new interactions

Standard models describing the radiation transfer of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) through Compton scattering predict that cosmological scalar perturbations at linear order are not able to source V and B polarization modes. In this work, we investigate the possibility that such CMB polarization modes are generated even in the presence of linear scalar perturbations only. We provide a general parametrization of the photon-fermion forward-scattering amplitude and compute mixing terms between different CMB polarization modes. We discuss different general extensions of Standard Model interactions which violate discrete symmetries, while preserving the combination of charge conjugation, parity and time reversal. We show that it is possible to source CMB circular polarization by violating parity and charge conjugation symmetries. Instead, B-mode generation is associated to the violation of symmetry for time-reversal. Our results provide a useful tool to constrain new physics using CMB data.
Regional and National Rice Development Strategies for Food Security in West Africa

Abstract
Purpose
This chapter assesses the regional and national approaches to improving food security for rice consumption in West Africa.


Methodology/approach
Using the Arkansas Global Rice Model and the RICEFLOW frameworks, we examine the consequences of pursuing self-sufficiency in rice. National rice development strategies have been designed to double the 2008 rice production levels by 2018. The Coalition for African Rice Development and the Africa Rice Center have assisted 23 nations in developing national strategies. We evaluate the strategies of 15 nations for rice land expansion and intensification to increase yields for regional self-sufficiency.


Findings
West Africa accounts for nearly 25% of global rice imports. The elimination of rice imports reduces global rice prices. Results show that achieving self-sufficiency in West Africa is inefficient at the global level. However, if self-sufficiency makes domestic rice uncompetitive with imported rice, then West African consumers will demand a significant price discount for domestic rice, thus reducing benefits to producers and consumers.


Practical implications
Because of the partial equilibrium nature of this study, the consequences for diversification of West African diets are not explored. Although beyond the scope of this chapter, a coordinated policy sequencing approach toward enhancing productivity and quality of rice production – as well as increasing investment in infrastructure, institutions, and emergency food reserves – should be studied more thoroughly to achieve food and nutritional security for West Africa.
Distribution of thyroid peroxidase positivity and its effects on thyroid function in normal pregnant women during 1st trimester in Dhaka city

Objective: To measure the distribution of TPO-Ab positivity and to observe the effect of thyroid peroxidase positivity on thyroid function during first trimester in normal pregnancy. Method: A cross sectional among 120 subjects were taken in this study and divided into control and study groups. Control group (Group A) consisted of 60 healthy non pregnant women age ranged between 20 to 35 years. Study group (Group B) consisted of 60 normal pregnant women of same age range. Group B was further subdivided into group B1 and group B2according to the level of TPO-Ab. Group B1 consisted of TPO-Ab positive pregnant women and group B2 consisted of TPO- Ab negative pregnant women. Control group was selected from personal contacts and study group from Out Patient Department (OPD) of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Sir Salimullah Medical College and Mitford Hospital. For assessment of thyroid function, serum free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were measured. Serum FT4, TSH were measured by Enzyme link immunosorbant (ELISA) method. Again, serum TPO-Ab of total study population and hCG of all the pregnant women were measured. Serum TPO-Ab by Micro particle Enzyme Immunoassay (MEIA) method and hCG was estimated by ELISA. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS version 17. Results: In this study, serum FT4 and was significantly (P&lt;0.001) higher and TSH level was significantly (P&lt;0.001) lower in normal pregnant women during 1st trimester in comparison to those of non pregnant women. Again, 18% of pregnant women showed TPO-Ab positivity. However, serum FT4 level was significantly (P&lt;0.001) lower whereas, TSH level was significantly (p&lt;0.001) higher in TPO-Ab positive pregnant women in comparison to those of TPO-Ab negative pregnant women. Conclusion: TPO-Ab positivity increases during 1st trimester of normal pregnancy which decreases the hyper functional state of thyroid hormones. So, thyroid screening should be done routinely during pregnancy. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/updcj.v4i1.21160 Update Dent. Coll. j: 2014; 4 (1): 15-20
PENGALAMAN KORBAN PEREMPUAN MENGHADAPI KEKERASAN DALAM PACARAN

Dating violence is a complex issue and it happens in almost every classes. The victims need strategy to deal the violence towards them. It is done to stop what had happened or at least minimized it. This research focuses about victim
coping strategy in a courtship to deal their problems. This research uses qualitative-phenomenological approach to explore what coping strategy will be done, what factors are underlying the use of this strategy, and how it affects to the relationships which undertaken by presenting three
teenage girls (19-22 years old) as the informant. Gnerally the result of this research shows that the informants generally got all dating violence forms, like verbal emotional abuse, physics abuse, and sexual
abuse and also use coping strategy which based on emotions in facing violence in
their courtship. The factors underlying the coping strategy are love, afraid of
losing their lover, product of social learning, and unstable mental condition.
Temporally, the coping strategy could be minimized the existed stress but it
cannot stop the violence. Also found a circle of violence in the field during dating
violence relationship.

DATA CLASSIFICATION BASED ON ERROR DETECTION CHECK AND DECODER METRICS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

A method of data classification for use in a wireless communication system includes obtaining decoder metrics from a decoder. The decoder metrics correspond to data generated by the decoder. The decoder metrics include a first metric and a second metric. The method also includes classifying the data into a first category if the data fails an error detection check, into a second category if the data passes the error detection check and is determined to be unreliable, or into a third category if the data passes the error detection check and is determined to be reliable. A reliability of the data is determined based on at least one of the decoder metrics and a threshold.
Rape in Chicago: Race, Myth, and the Courts. By Dawn Rae Flood (book review)

Rape in Chicago: Race, Myth, and the Courts. By Dawn Rae Flood. (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2012. Pp. xi, 242, notes, bibliography, index. Cloth, $55.00.)The deceptively simple title of Dawn Rae Flood's monograph belies its analytical complexity. Her close reading of appellate court transcripts in mid-twentieth century Chicago demonstrates the intricate interplay between collectively held beliefs about rape and the formal requirements of the criminal justice system, revealing the ways in which language and the seemingly neutral rules of the court engendered profound power relations. (p.13) Flood also looks at challenges to the system launched by accusers, defendants, legal officials, civil rights activists, and second-wave feminists, and the significant changes they provoked. The criminal prosecution of rape evolved very slowly, from its common law roots protecting men's rights to women's virtue into a means for adjudicating equal claims to justice by the accuser and the accused. This interesting study will interest scholars and students across a broad range of disciplines.In 1937 Chicago established a new sex bureau in the state's attorney's office as well as a special sex-homicide division within the city7s police department. Both offices were created in response to pressures from a public anxious about escalating sexual violence in the city. Women were becoming an ever-larger proportion of the labor force, and as they entered the public arena they displayed an expectation of the protections accorded American citizens, reporting incidents of rape to authorities, who took such reports seriously; investigations and arrests for rape grew much faster than did Chicago's population in this period, (pp. 25-26) Rape prosecutions were difficult ordeals for the accuser. Convictions required persuading a court of two things, that the victim's vagina had been penetrated by the perpetrator's penis and that she had actively resisted the act. She faced medical examinations alone and was required to pay for the procedures herself. Her testimony had to establish both her credibility as a virtuous woman who would not have welcomed the sexual act and that she had done her best to resist her attacker. Such testimony, therefore, must correspond to collective cultural myths about rape and also satisfy the requirements of the law. Despite these significant hurdles, women did come forward. Flood observes that accusers occupied various socioeconomic positions, held diverse religious faiths, were both black and white, and were married, divorced, single, childless, or mothers. (p.46)Data from Chicago demonstrate that most rapes involved perpetrators and victims of the same race. …
Extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae in bulk tank milk from German dairy farms

Although the dairy farm environment is a known source of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria, surveillance data on ESBL in the milk production chain are still scarce. This study aimed at estimating the dimensions of the problem for public health and animal welfare by surveying ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in raw bulk tank milk in Germany. Samples from 866 dairy farms, comprising about 1% of the total number of dairy farms in Germany, were first screened for presence of cefotaxime-resistant bacteria by selective enrichment. Suspect colonies were identified phenotypically and further characterized by biochemical and molecular methods, including analysis of resistance genes and clonal diversity in ESBL-producing isolates. Bulk tank milk from 82 (9.5%) farms yielded Enterobacteriaceae with confirmed ESBL-production. The most frequent ESBL-producing species was Escherichia coli (75.6%), followed by Citrobacter spp. (9.6%), Enterobacter cloacae (6.1%), and Klebsiella oxytoca (3.7%), a few isolates belonged to other species within the genera Hafnia, Raoutella and Serratia. The majority of isolates (95.1%) harbored the β-lactamase blaCTX-M gene, which has gained increased importance among ESBL-producing strains worldwide; the CTX-M group 1 was found to be the dominating (88.4%) phylogenetic group. All ESBL-positive Escherichia coli isolates were clonally heterogeneous, as determined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. The results from this survey demonstrate that ESBL-producing bacteria are distributed widely in the dairy farm environment in Germany. Therefore, raw milk is a potential source of exposure for the consumer, which is of increasing importance considering the trend of farmer-to-consumer direct marketing. Furthermore, dairy farm staff have an increased likelihood of exposure to ESBL-producing bacteria. Finally, ESBL-producing bacteria may also be transferred via waste milk to calves, thus further spreading antibiotic resistance in the farm environment.
The XRCC1 Arg194Trp and Arg280His polymorphisms in head and neck cancer susceptibility: a meta-analysis

The XRCC1 Arg194Trp and Arg280His polymorphisms are likely to be implicated with the development of head and neck cancer. However, studies of association have been inconsistent. This meta-analysis of the available literature was performed to make a more precise estimation of the risk associated with these polymorphisms. A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify all case-control studies of the XRCC1 Arg194Trp and Arg280His polymorphisms in head and neck cancer. Summary odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of association. A total of 20 eligible studies were selected for this meta-analysis, including 3,362 cases and 5,796 controls for the XRCC1 Arg194Trp polymorphism and 1,932 cases and 2,757 controls for the XRCC1 Arg280His polymorphism. Overall, no significant associations were found in all genetic models when the studies were pooled into the meta-analysis for the Arg194Trp and Arg280His polymorphisms. When stratified by ethnicity, significant associations were found for Arg194Trp polymorphism in CT vs CC (OR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.05-1.52) and the recessive model (OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.07-1.53) in Asian population, and no significant associations were found in non-Asian population in all genetic models. This meta-analysis suggests that the XRCC1 Arg194Trp polymorphism is a risk factor for head and neck cancer in Asian populations.
From Research to Enterprise

Looking at the Regional Innovation Scoreboard (RIS) and at European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS) of 2007, none of the regions involved in the FREE project are among the Top-50 EU regional performers. Bearing this in mind and also the fact that investing more in knowledge and innovation is one of the goals of the renewed Lisbon strategy the project will support this priority by improving innovative capacity in business, supporting and qualifying technology transfers and cooperation networks among organisations and individuals.

This interrelation knowledge exploitation is a critical factor for EU’s international competitiveness. Especially the capacity of regional actors to turn knowledge and skills into sustainable competitive advantage is crucial at this stage, as innovation is most effectively addressed at regional level, where physical proximity fosters the partnership between actors.

FREE activities will be strongly based on already established/ongoing initiatives, both at regional and European level, so as to capitalise the efforts and valorise their outputs, focusing on those experiences providing concrete instruments and fitting the SMEs needs.
Micro quantum dot-light emitting diode and organic light emitting diode  direct patterning (miledi)

The project MiLEDI aims to realise micro-Light Emitting Diodes (mQDL) and micro -Organic Light Emitting Diodes (mQDO) using direct laser or electron beam patterning of nanometer-scale Quantum Dots (QDs) to write the Red-Green-Blue (RGB) arrays for display manufacturing.
The main idea sustaining the project is to form the colored green-red light-emitting QDs directly over a matrix of blue emitting micro QDL/QDO arrays, so that the QDs act as frequency down-converters and constitute a RGB micro-display.
Both direct-writing technologies will be thoroughly developed to optimize the QD light emission spectrum of the display and its stability. They are expected to provide patterning resolution at micrometric scales, depending on the laser spot areas and particle beam dimensions and operation. 
These techniques together with the direct formation of QDs assure highly flexible and simpler manufacturing processes, in few steps and with low chemical impact The MiLEDI approach for both micro QDL and QDO RGB displays manufactured by direct laser/electron beam patterning of QDs, is  validated by the production of a final prototype of Rear Projection display through the existing supply chain of the project.
Bistability induced by generalist natural enemies can reverse pest invasions

Analytical modeling of predator-prey systems has shown that specialist natural enemies can slow, stop and even reverse pest invasions, assuming that the prey population displays a strong Allee effect in its growth. We aimed to formalize the conditions in which spatial biological control can be achieved by generalists, through an analytical approach based on reaction-diffusion equations. Using comparison principles, we obtain sufficient conditions for control and for invasion, based on scalar bistable partial differential equations. The ability of generalist predators to control prey populations with logistic growth lies in the bistable dynamics of the coupled system, rather than in the bistability of prey-only dynamics as observed for specialist predators attacking prey populations displaying Allee effects. As a consequence, prey control is predicted to be possible when space is considered in additional situations other than those identified without considering space. The reverse situation is also possible. None of these considerations apply to spatial predator-prey systems with specialist natural enemies.
HEAT ACCUMULATOR, METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF AND ENERGY SYSTEM PROVIDED WITH SUCH A HEAT ACCUMULATOR

The invention provides a heat accumulator for the storage and/or release of heat, consisting of a vessel having a wall which is at least partially heat-conducting, which vessel contains a crystalline material which exothermally absorbs and endothermally desorbs a heat-transporting substance. The crystalline material, in particular sodium sulphide, adheres to the wall of the vessel and remains adhering during use and has essentially the same structure in a state in which more heat-transporting substance is absorbed and in a state in which less heat-transporting substance is absorbed. In a process for the production of such a heat accumulator, the crystalline material is applied in the molten or highly hydrated state to the inner wall of a closeable vessel and is made to adhere to the wall by cooling and/or evaporation. An energy system, comprising such a heat accumulator, and a vaporiser and condenser, connected via a closeable vapour line to the heat accumulator, is also provided.
Indo-US Civilian Nuclear Deal: The Gainer and the Loser

The US-India nuclear deal of July, 2005, is a remarkiable development in the framework of overall India-US relationship.The Indo- US Deal is a clear manifestation of the US’ ultimate desire to recognize India as the leading power in the region, despite of the fact, that Pakistan is a close partner of US in the war against global terrorism, and major non-NATO ally. India came out as the principal beneficiary of this deal. The deal fulfilled India’s longstanding geo-strategic objectives, it’s nuclear and missile predominance, and it’s aggressive and evil designs in the region.. Under the deal, India will get the capability to produce 50 warheads a year. The deal turns out to be unfair and discriminatory in the sense that it has bestowed India with all the benefits of a nuclear weapons state without any international obligations. The qualitative and quantitative improvement of India’s nuclear arsenal would adversely affect the deterrence stability in South Asia. The nuclear deal will further enhance Indian capability to have pre-emptive attack against Pakistan. This study looks at the security concerns of Pakistan in the wake of this new relationship.
