Cross-border port facilities for the management of naval and temporary waste

This project deals with the common challenge of sustainable growth through the promotion of joint waste collection and treatment in ports. The project intends to develop a circular economy model promoting the treatment of higher amounts of watercraft and port produced waste and wastewater, valorised from an economic point of view and put back on the market as goods capable of producing economies. Next, a survey will determine the type and extent of waste and wastewater produced by watercraft and businesses based in the partner ports and map the treatment plants currently in operation. The plants will be the subject of a specific analysis to determine the conditions for greater treatment efficiency, for example, by implementing new technologies or converting the plants to different treatment methods. The project implements joint action plans for the prevention, reduction and disposal of waste and wastewater in ports. It does so through a system whereby waste and wastewater can be treated at the place of production or at sea on specialised watercraft or transferred from one port to another in the same maritime area of the Upper Tyrrhenian Sea. When necessary, the borders of a Port System will be crossed. The system will require the optimisation of the land and sea transport network between the plants. This project implements pilot actions to treat waste and wastewater, define waste management logistics, come up with innovative solutions and uses for port waste, train port operators and monitor waste quality and quantity.
ANALYSIS OF LATGALE REGION COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES CAPITAL AND ITS REPAYMENT

Latgale has always been the weakest region in regard to the development of Latvia. Even though in the National development plans the progress in the balanced course of the development process all over the territory of Latvia is envisaged, the lagging of Latgale will grow. The given situation is not acceptable not only from the perspective of Latvia but also from the viewpoint of the whole European Union. Latgale would be able to make a more rapid progress in its development if we took into consideration the significance of investing large amounts of capital therein and raising the capital return. The article is dedicated to the analysis of capital dynamics, structure, and economic efficiency in order to clarify the causes of slow capital “inflow” in Latgale.
DOUBLE LOCK VALVE FOR INFLATABLES

A valve (50) for an inflatable product. The valve includes an outer piece (52) having a flexible cone or webbing (52) that permits the outer piece of the valve to collapse into an inner piece (54) of the valve (50). The outer piece (52) includes a spout (60) that fits onto a plug (88) on the inner piece (54). The outer piece (52) also includes an internal cylindrical flange (70) that extends downward from the inside of the flexible cone (58) and fits onto the plug (88). A cap (74) is connected to the valve (50) via a flap (62). The cap (74) is a separate structure from the flap (62), and formed of a more rigid material than the flap (62). The cap (74) fits into the spout (60) to provide a second, separate locking function.
Circular construction in regenerative cities (circuit)

To this day, many techniques, tools and approaches have been developed and tested either on a lab scale or in pilot buildings around Europe. These demonstrations have served as great showcases for circular built environments, but they are yet to be demonstrated at higher level.  Copenhagen, Hamburg, Helsinki region (City of Vantaa) and Greater London have teamed up with partners from the entire built environment value chain. The results will have a direct uptake in the value chain and enable cities to initiate circular transition. CIRCuIT will demonstrate three innovative solutions in the four cities: dismantle buildings to reuse materials; transformation and refurbishment; and design for disassembly and flexible construction.  CIRCuIT will develop urban planning instruments to support cities in implementing circular construction solutions and initiate changes at system level; implement a Circularity Hub, a data platform to evaluate progress of circular economy and regenerative capacity; and set up a knowledge sharing structure, the CIRCuIT Academy, to promote upscaling of solutions. London, Hamburg, Helsinki region and Copenhagen have the ambition to bridge the implementation gap from individual pilots to the actual circular and regenerative city, by demonstrating the application of current and future developed tools and instruments for circular built environment at a city level in 36 demonstration projects. It is the intention to boost the regenerative capacity of the three cities and Helsinki region, and finalise the development of an advanced set of indicators for impact measurement in an effective and cross-European monitoring programme. The aim is to increase the regenerative capacity in the four cities, and to reduce the yearly consumption of virgin raw material by 20% in new built environments, and to show cost savings of 15%.
Substitution of tenofovir/emtricitabine for Hepatitis B immune globulin prevents recurrence of Hepatitis B after liver transplantation

Hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIg) with or without nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) inhibitors has been shown to prevent recurrence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). However, the use of HBIg has many disadvantages.The present study was performed to determine if converting patients from HBIg ± NA to combination NA therapy could prevent recurrence of HBV.Twenty-one recipients without evidence of HBV recurrence on HBIg ± NA for ≥ 6 months were enrolled. Patients received their last injection of HBIg at the time they initiated tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC; Truvada(®) ) and were followed up for 31.1 ± 9.0 [range 15-47] months.After 1 year, 3 patients (14%) had detectable HBsAg, one of whom was non-compliant. Two of 3 with recurrence cleared HBsAg by last follow-up on TDF/FTC; the non-compliant patient became HBV DNA-undetectable with re-institution of TDF/FTC. TDF/FTC saved $12,469/year over our standard-of-care, monthly intramuscular HBIg/lamivudine. There was no evidence of a general adverse effect of TDF/FTC on renal function. However, 3 patients developed reversible acute renal failure; on renal biopsy, 1 had possible TDF/FTC-induced acute tubular necrosis.Substitution of TDF/FTC for HBIg prevented recurrence of HBV DNA in 100% (20/20) of patients who were compliant with the medication and led to substantial cost savings over HBIg-containing regimens.
Study for Tracing Zombie PCS and Botnet Using an Email Spam Trap

A botnet is a huge network of hacked zombie PCs. Recognizing the fact that the majority of email spam is sent out by botnets, a system that is capable of detecting botnets and zombie PCS will be designed in this study by analyzing email spam. In this study, spam data collected in an email spam trail Korea's national spam collection system, were used for analysis. In this study, we classified the spam groups by the URLs or attached files, and we measured how much the group has the characteristics of botnet and how much the IPs have the characteristics of zombie PC. Through the simulation result in this study, we could extract 16,030 zombie suspected PCs for one hours and it was verified that email spam can provide considerably useful information in tracing zombie PCs.
The role of cd63 in lysosomal degradation of insulin granules in pancreatic beta cells in t2d diabetes

The pancreatic β cell harbors an exemplary nutrient sensing machinery that is coupled to secretion of insulin. While mechanisms governing regulation of insulin secretion in response to nutrients were widely investigated, little is known about how nutrients impact on other basic cellular processes such as insulin granule turnover, autophagy and cellular growth, deregulation of all of which have been demonstrated to be involved in β cell failure in type 2 diabetes (T2D). T2D represents a major health burden accounting for a large part of exploding health costs world-wide. Restoring normal weight through exercise and decreased food consumption in principle is straight-forward to mitigate metabolic disturbances. However, changing the sedentary life style is very challenging for obese subjects and that at a late disease stage, β cell failure becomes irreversible. There is an emerging endeavor of the pharmaceutical industry to develop strategies targeting the β cell that go beyond improving insulin secretion. 
A prevailing concept in cell biology is that enhanced degradation of cellular components through autophagy can counteract energy depletion caused by shortage of environmental nutrients. My host laboratory recently discovered that β cells employ a very distinct and so far unknown mechanism to adapt to nutrient depletion. β cells induce specific degradation of newly formed insulin granules through lysosomes and suppress autophagy upon nutrient withdrawal. Insulin granule degradation allows for generation of intracellular nutrients and in the same time avoids release of these granules. Their preliminary results suggest that lysosomal insulin granule degradation is dramatically enhanced in β cells of diabetic islets from mice and humans. This increase is accompanied by a drop in autophagy, a known protective process in the β cell. My project will fortify that impaired lysosomal activity, insulin degradation and suppressed autophagy contribute to β cell failure in T2D.
EXHAUST GAS FILTER FOR ELIMINATING PARTICLES CONTAINED IN THE EXHAUST GAS STREAM OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

The invention relates to an exhaust gas particle filter (1) for eliminating particles contained in the exhaust gas stream of an internal combustion engine, in particular a diesel engine. The filter comprises a filter body (2) consisting of filter pockets (Fo an) that are arranged adjacent to one another, are open on the influx side and taper in a wedge shape in the longitudinal direction of the filter body (2). The front face of each filter pocket (Fo an), through which the exhaust gas (6) passes in the primary flow direction, is positioned transversally to the cross-sectional area of the filter body (2), whereby the wall sections of the filter pockets lying transversally to the filter-body cross-section run parallel to each other. The filter is characterised in that the filter pockets (Fo an) (Fg an) or (Fo ab) (Fg ab) are configured from a pliable filter material strip, whose width corresponds to the longitudinal extension of the filter body (2), whereby each wall section that forms the filter body cross-sectional area is separated from the adjacent parallel wall section by a lateral wall section that tapers in the longitudinal direction of the filter body (2).
Emurmur, a software based, clinically tested medical device for automated heart murmur detection

The auscultation of the heart using a stethoscope is the standard examination method worldwide to screen for heart defects by identifying murmurs. It requires that examining physicians have acute hearing and extensive experience since there is no currently available technology that can perform this test. An accurate diagnosis remains challenging for various reasons including noise, high heart rates, and distinguishing innocent from pathological murmurs.

Since objective screening tools are unavailable, the risk of human error increases and current reliance on subjective screening creates issues of consistency, accuracy and objectivity. For example, up to 70% of asymptomatic children who are referred to specialist evaluation or echocardiography because of a suspected murmur are not suffering from heart disease. The result is a high number of patients undergoing unnecessary heart testing. The unnecessary costs, in addition to patient anxiety and inconvenience, in the US alone amount to over a Billion annually.

CSD Labs' medical device eMurmur is a clinically tested screening tool for the objective detection of heart murmurs. eMurmur analyses and classifies heart sounds acquired via electronic stethoscopes. The system is comprised of an app that runs on a mobile device and a server-based heart sound analysis software. The app pairs with a commercially available electronic stethoscope, receives and sends the acquired heart sounds to the server for analysis and displays the results to the health care professional on their mobile device. eMurmur can be utilized by medical professionals performing auscultation in their daily routine right at the patients side.
Moreover, eMurmur offers medical professionals the capacity to retrieve a PDF report containing all of the above results and additional patient information optionally provided by the user, enabling full documentation of the auscultation and integration into electronic patient files.
Slavery Heritage in Bristol: History, memory and forgetting

Abstract Reporting a pilot study for a PhD research project, this paper explores the promotion and presentation of the Slave Trade Trail around Central Bristol from the original 1998 pamphlet with the same title to its modern organisation. The Slave Trade Trail explores Bristol's associations with slavery, and involves the physical movement of tourists through the built environment as they visit sites particularly associated with the trade. The research employs visual methods, to examine ways in which history, heritage, and memory are (re)presented; and to explore the images and artefacts presented on this trail. The paper identifies a number of concepts in the current literature on slavery heritage, and applies these concepts to the trail, analysing its nature and current organisation. Specifically, the related concepts of meaning, (mis)representation, (in)visibility, inclusion, and denial are investigated; all of which are evident in the Slave Trade Trail.
Effectiveness of a behavior modification program for older people with uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes

This quasi-experimental study examined the effectiveness of a behavior modification program for diabetic control in Thai elders with uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes. Purposive sampling was used to select 30 elders from one community as an intervention group, and 30 from a neighboring community as a control group. The intervention group participated in a program of 12 weeks' duration involving activities related to group counseling, group discussion, and an empowerment process that enhanced appropriate consumption of healthy diet, medication taking, and exercise. Data were collected by interviews using a questionnaire to assess knowledge of diabetes, perceived self-efficacy, and diabetes control behavior, including fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin, were examined at the baseline and three months thereafter. At program completion, the intervention group had significantly higher scores of knowledge, self-efficacy, and health behaviors than those in the control group, but blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin were not significantly different. Although nurses can use aspects of this program to benefit elders with diabetes who require support and education, further research is required to provide improved health outcomes such as better glycemic control.
European network for the promotion of agri-food employment in small and medium-sized cities

AGRI-URBAN is about Rethinking Agrifood Production in Small and Medium-sized Cities.Many small and medium-sized cities across Europe, particularly in intermediate regions (see the OECD concept) but also in other functional contexts, have a relative specialization in agri-food production. Roughly speaking, it is a seemingly mature industry, which still plays an important role in terms of GDP, employment and environmental sustainability. That is why new growth potentials have to be activated by means of innovation, new business models or making the most of the cluster approach. In addition, that specialization in agri-food has now to be reframed locally at the light of new trends such as green economy, digital and creative economy, circular economy or the emerging concept of sharing economy, resulting in new opportunities for the labour market, SMEs development, entrepreneurship and the urban-rural linkage. The project will tackle the multiple dimensions of this issue from a truly integrated urban development approach. In order to do this, the innovation framework proposed by the European Commission has been taken into account, both in AGRI-URBAN strategic conception and in the various proposals for themes and subthemes on which the project is based and which must be transformed into specific actions included in the integrated action plans. The AGRI-URBAN main themes are the following: Short Circuits, Smart Land Use, Business Development of SMEs and Public Procurement.
Geodetic integrated monitoring system

The main objective of the GIMS project is to build and commercialize an advanced low-cost system based on EGNSS, Copernicus SAR and other in-situ sensors, like inertial measurement units, for the purpose of monitoring ground deformations with a focus on landslides and subsidence. The system will recover deformations with millimetric level accuracies and daily acquisition rate. Moreover the integration of in-situ accelerometers will give real-time alerts in case of sudden movements. Finally the low-cost infrastructure deployed for the landslide monitoring can be used as collector of environmental data for smart grids purposes. The observations of these three different monitoring techniques, namely EGNSS, SAR and accelerometers, are complementary in time and space and can be integrated to obtain a better understanding of the monitored processes and a more complete knowledge of the deformation phenomenon. The project involves researchers and industrial developers from different fields: radiofrequency analysis and related hardware design, telecommunications, SAR and GNSS data analysis, accelerometers signal processing, geostatistics, geology. Significant effort will be put in the cooperation between different areas and in the interface between different products and technologies. The overall purpose of the GIMS project is to have detailed and timely knowledge of the geophysical behaviour of parts of the Earth surface, and its hindrances on structures, in order to mitigate casualties and injuries to the population, and better plan maintenance intervention.
Cucurbit[8]Uril assisted supramolecular architectures of carbon materials for hydrogels, photocatalysis and sensing

Carbon Materials (CMs: graphene etc.) are known for their light-weight and, excellent mechanical, electrical and thermal properties.  However, one of the main challenges for state-of-the-art CM-based composites is the mass manufacture and low-cost production of uniformly distributed composite materials under aqueous conditions to harness these properties for various applications.  Moreover, the surface functionalisation of CMs is still a great challenge, attributed to their inert surface and lack of solubility in many solvents including water.
Supramolecular host-guest complexation could be a useful technique to produce uniformly distributed CMs-based supramolecular architectures (SAs). Cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) is a macrocyclic host molecule with 8 glycoluril units yielding a barrel-like shape macrocycle. It can accommodate 2 guest molecules simultaneously, typically 1 electron-poor (1st guest) and 1 electron-rich (2nd guest), forming a heteroternary complex. CB[8] creates an aqueous dynamic supramolecular system that can help improve the water solubility of guest molecules.
Thus, the overall aim of this proposal is to develop SAs based upon host-guest heteroternary complexation between CB[8], CMs and matrices. Two entirely different matrix polymers (organic) and metal NPs (mNPs: inorganic) will be considered. Three CMs will be investigated. i) 2D Graphene(GR), ii) 1D Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and iii) 0D Carbon dots (C-Dots).  Following goals of the project will be achieved in the respective work packages: 1) Surface functionalisation of guest molecules onto CMs (fCMs). 2) To obtain Dynamic Hybrid Supramolecular Hydrogels after the host-guest complexation between fCMs, CB[8] and polymers. 3) Supramolecular heteroternary complexes between fCMs, CB[8] and mNPs to form fCMs-mNPs Supraparticles, and their 4) Applications in photocatalysis and Sensing.
Overall, the fundamental investigation of how fCMs will bind to CB[8] and later to polymers or mNPs will be investigated.

Further the motor torque of the joint motors is controlled based on an additional motor torque obtained based on a force-torque provided to the robot tool flange, where the force-torque is obtained by a force-torque sensor integrated in the tool flange of the robot arm.
Brazilian Organic Honey from Atlantic Rainforest Decreases Inflammatory Process in Mice

Honey is an ancient food in the human diet, and the chemical composition of some types of honey has been associated with several beneficial biological effects. Among them, honey has been highlighted to improve health and control inflammatory processes. However, there is no study elucidating the mechanism of action of honey produced organically. Here, we separated organic honey (OH) samples from the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest into eight different profiles (OH-1 to OH-8) and evaluated, in vitro and in vivo, their anti-inflammatory potential. To determine cell viability, RAW 264.7 macrophages were treated with several concentrations of OH-1 up to OH-8, and anti-inflammatory activity was assessed through NF-κB activation and TNF-α levels. All types of the studied honey up to a concentration of 4% (w/v) did not interfere with macrophage viability and decreased NF-kB activation and TNF-α levels in macrophage culture in vitro. OH-7 was selected as the most promising anti-inflammatory and used in subsequent assays. Mice pretreated orally with OH-7 showed a decrease in neutrophil migration and TNF-α level. Thus, these types of Brazilian organic honey show promising anti-inflammatory potential, particularly the OH-7 variety. Brazilian organic honey may lead to the development of new products and/or be incorporated into food for use in veterinary medicine and human health as well.
