Involutina farinacciae Bronnimann & Koehn-Zaninetti 1969, a marker for the Middle Liassic in basinal and some platform facies of Mediterranean and near east areas: The discussion concerning the paleogeography of Montenegro-Albania border region (the Scutari-Pec lineament)

Foraminiferal species Involutina farinacciae BRONNIMANN &amp; KOEHN-ZANINETTI, is a marker of Middle Liassic basinal and transitional platform bassin facies widely distributed in Mediterranean area (Umbria-Marche, Pindos, Budva, Sicilia and the Inner Dinarides basin), also in Iraqi Kurdistan (?Avroman? Basin). In the Dinaric Carbonate Platform (DCP) it indicates intramarginal and intraplatform depressions. Paleogeography of the Montenegro-Albania border area formed by the inherited prealpine paleogeographic scenario that resulted in a different arrangement of the paleogeographic units westward and eastward of the paleostructure (Scutari-Pec Lineament) which controlled the geological history of the region. This transverse paleostructure was a) coincident with the paleogeographic front of the DCP, and b) the westward limit of the overtrusted Mirdita Zone. The difference in the paleogeographic features in the prolongation from the DCP througout Albania, controlled by paleostructure, are the source of seizmicity, rotation and deviation (SE to NW, into NE) of the Complex Mirdita Zone.
Enterprises and Territories for High and Intelligent Competitiveness

The project aims to elaborate an innovative economic development model for small enterprises focused on traditional productions with a weak plus value and touristic activities. In order to reach this scope, the project intends to implement an experimentation of services for enterprises in order to increase their activities at a local and international level. The consequence will be the creation of a new economic sector, future labor pool. Besides, a common mark “ETHIC” will be defined within the project. The partnership gathers public and private entities which have already developed an experience in all the services sectors which will be proposed to enterprises. Therefore, the partnership is coherent, at a functional point of view, complementary, at a geographic point of view, and with a high plus valor, at an organizational point of view (each partner has its own net, composed by enterprises and public authorities).
Sexual attitudes, behaviour changes and opinions of interns in Izmir, Turkey

To evaluate sexual attitudes, behaviour and opinions of students at the end of their medical education studies in Izmir, Turkey, and compare findings with the results of the study carried out when they were first-year students.A cross-sectional and longitudinal study, with data collected via a questionnaire.'Friends' were most often mentioned as the source of their personal sexual information by students on both occasions. Use of the 'internet' increased significantly during the five years. Pornography and health professionals/specialists' also gained in importance but remained among the less frequently used sources of information. The most frequent factor affecting sexual attitudes and behaviour for both years was 'my own desire and values'. Most (74.8%) interns had taken only a few sexual health histories and 16.5% never; 35% believed their education would enable them to take one. Nearly half (48.5%) said being a medical student changed their opinions on sexuality and 25.7% said they changed their behaviour.Although changes were observed in sexual attitudes, behaviour and opinions between the two questionnaires many problems still exist. This study may add to the improvement of medical education regarding sexual health education and its practices.
SOCIJALNA PRAVA S POSEBNIM OSVRTOM NA ZAKON O RODILJNIM I RODITELJSKIM POTPORAMA I MJERE POPULACIJSKE POLITIKE U REPUBLICI HRVATSKOJ

With the emergence of new social risks, modern countries are faced with the challenge of achieving an effective social insurance and social security system, which is the goal of every welfare state. In order to adapt to the social risks (e.g. changes in the structure of family, increasing divorce rates, increasing number of single-parent families and single-person households, low birth rate, ageing of the population, decrease in the number of the working-age population and young people in the job market), the concept of social investment emerges in modern countries. The main areas of social investment in EU countries are active employment policies, families and children and education. The Republic of Croatia lags behind the European average in all three areas. The aim of this paper is to present family policy measures, especially the parents' rights based on the Law on Maternity and Parental Benefits, in the Republic of Croatia. Furthermore the importance of policies for the reconciliation of professional and family life and of achieving the dual-breadwinner family model will be stressed. Lastly, the demographic changes and the population policy measures in the Republic of Croatia will be analysed. Many family policy measures in Croatia are simultaneously pro-natalist, and although the concepts of family and population policies are not synonymous, they exert influence on each other.
A renewable approach for industrial water desalination by using hybrid photovolt

According to the World Water Council (WWC), by the year 2050, our energy needs will have increased by approximately 60%. Understanding the interactions between water and energy is important to further develop our water security. It is estimated that 15% of world-wide water use is for industrial purpose and industrial water pollution is a major source of damage to ecosystems and human health throughout the world. Sustainable water management is recognised as a priority for several industry sectors and is vital to reduce water and energy use. The development of evaporation technologies together with the use of renewable energies becomes a promising solution to get rid of the fossil dependence and met the European Union combined targets for water and energy sustainably, but additional effort is required from both industries in order to market uptake low cost and energy efficient water treatment solutions in the mid-term. On the other side, the global water and wastewater (W&WW) generation market revenue is estimated in 3.5 Billion Euros by 2017 with a CAGR of 5.6%. 
The previous scenario have encouraged Hydro Italia SRL, an environmental oriented company with 20 years of experience in the water field, to develop the SolardeSaLt solution. SolardeSalt is a medium size water evaporation system which employs evaporation technology coupled with hybrid PV-Thermal (PVT) panels to produce desalinated water. This technology will significantly improve the present techno-economic efficiency (industrial evaporators efficiency is around 90-95%) of high capacity solar evaporation systems and therefore, reduce the cost of water production from 35 to 40% .SolardeSalt will be focused on the W&WW treatment solutions field, which was represented by a market share of 2 Billion EUR in 2012 . Furthermore, Hydro Italia presents the support of EndeF Engineering, a PVT panel supplier, to provide their PVT hybrid solar panels to test the pilot version of SolardeSaLt.
On-Chip photonics erbium-doped laser for lidar applications

Miniaturized, yet highly sensitive and fast LiDAR systems serve market demands for their use on platforms ranging from robots, drones, and autonomous vehicles (cars, trains, boats, etc.) that are mostly used in complex environments. The widespread use of high performance LiDAR tools faces a need for cost and size reduction. A key component of a LiDAR system is the light source.

Very few laser light sources exist that provide sufficient performance to achieve the required distance range, distance resolution and velocity accuracy of the emerging applications identified in LiDAR roadmaps. The available sources, namely single mode or multimode laser diodes and fiber lasers, are either very costly, not sufficiently robust or not compact enough.

In OPHELLIA, we will investigate advanced materials and integration technologies directed to produce novel PIC building blocks, namely high gain, high output power (booster) amplifiers and on-chip isolators that are not yet available in a PIC format with the required performance. The novel building blocks will be monolithically integrated onto the Si3N4 generic photonic platform to produce high performance laser sources with unprecedented high coherence and high power, which will have a profound impact on the performance of the systems. Advanced packaging will further contribute to a dramatic reduction of the overall cost.

To achieve this ambitious goal, OPHELLIA will leverage the expertise of its consortium members, ranging from materials, integration technologies and PIC design to packaging and LiDAR systems integration, which covers the full chain from innovation to the deployment of the technology in a relevant environment. The successful realization of OPHELLIA will not only represent a milestone towards the widespread utilization of LiDAR systems, but the developed building blocks will also have an enormous impact in other emerging application fields such as datacom/telecom, sensing/spectroscopy and quantum technology.

Stochastic gradient based extreme learning machines for stable online learning of advanced combustion engines

We propose and develop SG-ELM, a stable online learning algorithm based on stochastic gradients and Extreme Learning Machines (ELM). We propose SG-ELM particularly for systems that are required to be stable during learning; i.e., the estimated model parameters remain bounded during learning. We use a Lyapunov approach to prove both asymptotic stability of estimation error and boundedness in the model parameters suitable for identification of nonlinear dynamic systems. Using the Lyapunov approach, we determine an upper bound for the learning rate of SG-ELM. The SG-ELM algorithm not only guarantees a stable learning but also reduces the computational demand compared to the recursive least squares based OS-ELM algorithm (Liang et al., 2006). In order to demonstrate the working of SG-ELM on a real-world problem, an advanced combustion engine identification is considered. The algorithm is applied to two case studies: An online regression learning for system identification of a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) Engine and an online classification learning (with class imbalance) for identifying the dynamic operating envelope. The case studies demonstrate that the accuracy of the proposed SG-ELM is comparable to that of the OS-ELM approach but adds stability and a reduction in computational effort.

Arabic text summarization based on graph theory

Automatic text summarization is a process of reducing the length of original document without affecting the content by extracting important information from huge amount of text data. The main goal is to facilitate the task of reading and searching information in large documents. Text summarization is the most challenging task in information retrieval especially for Arabic language. Unlike English and European languages, researches in Arabic text summarization are very few and still in their beginning. Summarization systems for Arabic are however still not as mature and as reliable as those developed for languages like English. In this paper, we introduce a new method for Arabic text summarization based on graph theory and semantic similarity between sentences to calculate importance of each sentence in document and most important sentences are extracted to generate document summary. In addition, because words sharing a root are semantically related, feature selection techniques based on the root can improves the semantic similarity between sentences and increases the weight of the semantic feature in the sentence. We will first review the related works in this field and especially in Arabic text summarization. Then we will present the architecture of our system, its components and its features. The last section will evaluate the system and compare it to other existing methods.
New sustainable nature-inclusive architectural devices for the transformation of our interior dwelling space: through selected case studies.

Nature-In is an interdisciplinary research project that will unfold and analyse the underlying forms of knowledge behind exemplary postwar-Danish and traditional-Japanese buildings which stand out for their interior space connection to Nature, which remains unexplored, to inform us of a sustainable contemporary interior design practice.

To maximize the contact with Nature in the health and wellbeing promotion of populations, design strategies are urgently needed. Despite the increasing interest in this global concern, there exists limited knowledge and research into “how to integrate Nature with our dwellings’ interior space”. There is a lack of architectural small-scale solutions for achieving this and also limited research into the ways these solutions can enable their integration. To bridge these gaps, I will conduct a case-study analysis to present the first synthetic overview, revealing what devices are used in these case-studies to link their interior space with the surrounding nature. With the involvement of a network of international experts, a methodology that links architectural research and practice, and a link to my own practice, I will provide a catalogue of potential sustainable practical devices and recommendations for integrating architectural devices of the buildings studied and I will influence  researchers, design practitioners, policy-makers and society in building practice. The main aim is to effectively enhance the health and wellbeing of communities through daily interaction with Nature in urban areas of the future, an urgent challenge at EU and Global level. 

Nature-In is very original and innovative in terms of objectives, how it is conceived and how it will be conducted. It will open a new research branch of Architectural Design and a new phase in the Biophilic Design’s implementation for the built environment. Moreover, it will make an important contribution to the EU-knowledge base on Nature-Based Solutions, a significant step for the EU.

Expression and structural characterization of peripherin/RDS, a membrane protein implicated in photoreceptor outer segment morphology

Peripherin/RDS is a member of the tetraspanin family of integral membrane proteins and plays a major role in the morphology of photoreceptor outer segments. Peripherin/RDS has a long extracellular loop (hereafter referred to as the LEL domain), which is vital for its function. Point mutations in the LEL domain often lead to impaired photoreceptor formation and function, making peripherin/RDS an important drug target. Being a eukaryotic membrane protein, acquiring sufficient peripherin/RDS for biophysical characterisation represents a significant challenge. Here, we describe the expression and characterisation of peripherin/RDS in Drosophila melangolaster Schneider (S2) insect cells and in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. The wild-type peripherin/RDS and the retinitis pigmentosa causing P216L mutant from S2 cells are characterised using circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. The structure of peripherin/RDS and of a pathogenic mutant is assessed spectroscopically for the first time. These findings are evaluated in relation to a three-dimensional model of the functionally important LEL domain obtained by protein threading.
Neural network of cognitive emotion regulation — An ALE meta-analysis and MACM analysis

Cognitive regulation of emotions is a fundamental prerequisite for intact social functioning which impacts on both well being and psychopathology. The neural underpinnings of this process have been studied intensively in recent years, without, however, a general consensus. We here quantitatively summarize the published literature on cognitive emotion regulation using activation likelihood estimation in fMRI and PET (23 studies/479 subjects). In addition, we assessed the particular functional contribution of identified regions and their interactions using quantitative functional inference and meta-analytic connectivity modeling, respectively. In doing so, we developed a model for the core brain network involved in emotion regulation of emotional reactivity. According to this, the superior temporal gyrus, angular gyrus and (pre) supplementary motor area should be involved in execution of regulation initiated by frontal areas. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex may be related to regulation of cognitive processes such as attention, while the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex may not necessarily reflect the regulatory process per se, but signals salience and therefore the need to regulate. We also identified a cluster in the anterior middle cingulate cortex as a region, which is anatomically and functionally in an ideal position to influence behavior and subcortical structures related to affect generation. Hence this area may play a central, integrative role in emotion regulation. By focusing on regions commonly active across multiple studies, this proposed model should provide important a priori information for the assessment of dysregulated emotion regulation in psychiatric disorders.

Interpoladores híbrido e não híbrido aplicados na distribuição espacial das chuvas na região montanhosa costeira fluminense

Apesar dos avanços no monitoramento espaço-temporal das chuvas, suas informações em regiões de topografia complexa são escassas. A interpolação espacial baseada em dados orbitais pode suprir tal escassez. Portanto, o estudo avaliou o desempenho de interpoladores híbrido e não híbrido na estimativa da chuva na Região Hidrográfica da Baía da Ilha Grande (RHBIG), situada na Serra do Mar, nos estados de RJ e SP. Dados de chuvas de estações de superfície e de estações virtuais, derivadas do produto CHIRPS, entre os anos 2004 e 2013, foram utilizados para geração de modelos pelos interpoladores Krigagem Ordinária (KO) e Krigagem Regressão (KR), tendo como variável explicativa o Modelo Digital de Elevação (MDE). Os resultados mostraram correlação (r = 0,68) entre os dados observados e do CHIRPS, com a taxa de chuva subestimada no litoral, média da diferença (di) de -10%, e superestimada no planalto (di = 9%), o que origina distribuição espacial suavizada. Em relação aos modelos de chuva, os KR, linear e logarítmico, tenderam a extrapolar os valores mínimos e máximos, e aumentar a taxa de chuva do litoral para o planalto, com média de -28% das estações do litoral. Enquanto, nos modelos da KO, o volume tende a diminuir do litoral para o planalto (di = -1,4), o que é corroborado por estudos já realizados na RHBIG com dados observados. Por fim, os modelos de ambos interpoladores, com as estações virtuais corrigidas pelos dados observados, mostram aumento da amplitude pluviométrica, o que diminui a suavização do modelo CHIRPS. Desta forma, os modelos da KO derivados de uma rede densa e regular de estações virtuais, corrigidas por dados observados, podem ser uma alternativa para utilização dos dados CHIRPS em locais de topografia complexa sem uma rede densa de estações de superfície, o que origina em modelos de maior resolução espacial e amplitude pluviométrica.
