Creative Growth

The Creative Growth project was initiated by the Östergötland region (SE) and is based on previous experiences and needs among the partners for successful cluster development of the creative sector.The aim of the project is to contribute to European competitiveness and accelerate regional economic growth through the development of the creative sector as a new business sector and influence policy development on regional and local level by mainstreaming new knowledge and good practice into the policy making process.The following objectives will be achieved: 1.Improved and more effective policies on regional and local level through evidence-based policy making 2.Improved business support services and solutions for the creative sector 3. Increased knowledge on how creativity can be a catalyst for increased regional competitiveness.The partnership consists of 11 partners from SE, DK, UK, LT, HU, ES, IT, RO and BG.The activities in the project are divided into 3 parts: Part 1 - A limited
mapping of the creative sector carried out in each region by using a joint set of standards and a joint interregional analysis carried out with comparisons between the regions based on the regional mapping. Part 2 -  Benchmarking on business support services and solutions through exchange of experiences in thematic working groups on topics such as access to finance, support structures, cluster development, incubator facilities etc. Part 3 - Interregional thematic seminars hosted by different partner regions- focusing on creativity as a catalyst for increased regional competitiveness.A very limited part of the project consists of three pilot cases where business support solutions with three different approaches will be tested in a new way by pooling joint experiences ("traditional" business support services,virtual incubator and physical environments for SMEs).The main result of the project will be improved policy making processes on regional and local level by adopting evidence-based
policy making (i.e. policy making based on new facts, knowledge and exchange of experiences), the creation of a European Network of Creative regions for long-term collaboration, and increased knowledge about the sector among key stakeholders. The project will also result in increased numbers of business support services and solutions tailor made for SMEs in the creative sector and higher quality of the services provided by business support actors. The project will generate a wide range of activities for exchange of good practice and dissemination, such as conferences, seminars, working groups, joint training sessions, workshops, reports and recommendations for regional/local activity plans for each partner region in order to take the next step in boosting the creative sector.The interregional exchange of experiences, joint learning and dissemination of good practice is the interregional added value and the project result will contribute to increased European competitiveness.

Quick online spam classification method based on active and incremental learning

In order to improve the classification speed without sacrificing the email classification accuracy seriously, a novel online spam classification method is proposed. Firstly, the conceptions of term frequency based interest sets are introduced, and emails are classified by combining term frequency based interest sets and NaBayes classifier. Secondly, based on the active learning theory, a novel boundary density based email classification certainty evaluating method is proposed to select and recommend emails to users for labeling by combining the user interests. Finally, the emails which are labeled and classified with the greatest possibilities are used for retraining based on the incremental learning theory. In the experiments, Support Vector Machine (SVM), NaBayesian (NB) and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) classifiers are used on two corpuses: Trec2007 and Enron-spam. Comparing with six typical active learning based incremental learning methods, the proposed method greatly reduces the consuming time of email classification while guaranteeing the accuracy. Moreover, the proposed method brings very small sample labeling burden to the users, proving its high value on online application.
Real-time acceleration network for monitoring sites and buildings in Italy and Austria

The ARMONIA project aims to tighten collaboration between the civil protection institutions for the risk prevention. Through the use of innovative methodologies, it develops a trans-frontier strategy in the management of natural disasters. On the cross border area natural disasters, as strong earthquakes, causes damages and loss of life in different countries. The development of common protocols allows joint planning and implementation of harmonize actions to accelerate and facilitate the rescue operations. Partners will develop an innovative seismic monitoring system extended also to the strategic buildings that will provide critical information, in the cross-border area, crucial for a rapid and focused interventions at the occurrence of earthquake. Tools for data analysis, as real time cross-border thematic maps, will be developed, for operative rooms to have an immediate evaluation of the damages distribution. The realization of a homogeneous trans-frontier management model of risk prevention will help the civil defence institutions and regional government prepare plans to protect the population, mitigate the earthquake damages. The realization of common protocols for the training and joint exercises of civil defense volunteers and citizen will help to improved coordination of cross border interventions and a fast emergency actions.
Phase averaging of the coherent head-on beam–beam instability

Abstract Within the framework of a simplifying model and within the first approximation of the perturbation theory we discuss the effects of the phase averaging on the stability of the coherent oscillations of identical, flat and head-on colliding bunches. Near the resonances n/(2m), where n and m are integers, these oscillations are unstable. Finite lengths of the colliding bunches can result in the phase averaging suppression of increments of unstable modes. Both betatron and synchro-betatron oscillation modes can be excited in the collisions of such bunches. The coupling of these modes due to the beam–beam interactions changes the stability conditions of coherent oscillations of the colliding bunches.

Acute vasoreactivity test results in severe pulmonary hypertension patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: our experience with 29 cases

The aim of the current study is to evaluate acute vasoreactivity test (AVT) results in severe pulmonary hypertension patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and to compare the demographical, clinical, and laboratory variables in positive and negative cases.This retrospective, clinical study was performed on 29 cases in the departments of cardiology and chest diseases of our tertiary care center. AVT was positive in 12 (41.4%) cases and negative in 17 (58.6%) cases. Demographical variables, cardiopulmonary indicators, and laboratory findings were compared in these two subgroups.The mean age was 62.3±7.8 years for AVT negative group, while it was 64.8±7.3 years in AVT positive group (P=0.38). Except for the changes in systolic, diastolic, and mean pulmonary arterial pressures before and after iloprost administration, there were no statistically significant differences regarding any of the parameters under investigation in both groups.Despite the high rate of positivity for AVT in severe pulmonary hypertension patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, none of the variables under investigation displayed a noteworthy difference between AVT negative and positive groups. Identification of factors likely to influence AVT results is important for establishment of appropriate treatment protocols especially for AVT negative cases.
Developing of Motorways of Sea system in Adriatic region

The creation of a Motorways of the Sea Master (MoS) Plan in the Adriatic, connecting Europe with the southeast edge of the European Union, Cyprus, and the neighbouring regions, through a trans-European multimodal transport system, offers an opportunity for further development of short sea shipping and intermodality in the region. The overall objective of the project is to develop the MoS in the Adriatic as an integral part of East Mediterranean MoS transport system, through the creation, development and elaboration of a Master Plan. When MoS in Adriatic area will be developed at sufficient level, it will positively influence to high share of modal shift from road to intermodality, thus to reducing road congestions, benefit to environmental protection and, at the end, to sustainable growth of economy in the region. Development and implementation of complex transport systems, such as MoS, have to be detailed planed combining multidisciplinary science methods and real experience. Our Master Plan will be developed based on that approach. Main objectives of the project/Master Plan are: - to define viable MoS in the Adriatic area and their connections to EU member states in East and West Mediterranean, as well as their extensions to other regions - to define quality and security requirements for the identified MoS services, - to perform an analysis of the transport needs in the region - to forecast the future demand of the MoS and identify bottlenecks and missing links, infrastructure and services needs, - to identify and evaluate (Cost-Benefit Analysis and Environmental Impacts Assessment) alternative scenarios of the Master Plan elaboration, - to provide investment and time planning and identify funding sources, and, - to provide guidance of coordinated actions for implementation of MoS - to produce a sound communication system with all regions concerned to the enhancement of MoS, as well as to promote the involvement of the interested stakeholders AdriaticMoS is a common project of Ministry of Transport of all Adriatic countries with the aim of creation of unique and common strategic development document for development of Motorways of the Sea system. Adriatic MoS Master Plan is a regional segment of East Mediterranean MoS Master Plan which is a strategic document of the European Commission and guideline for future development activities. All Adriatic countries will, by the implementation of this project, get, for the first time, common development strategy in the transport. By encouraging and implementing MoS system in the region, modal shift from road to intermodality is maximally stimulated, which has, as a consequence, decrease in pollution, road traffic load and development of economy. This is, in the end, a specific result of this project. Furthermore, as a result of the project, network of experts and authorities (MoT and Faculties) which will be formed through this innovative approach in common project implementation and which will in the future be the generator of common collaboration and coordination in Adriatic transport, will have additional benefits.
Improved rail connections and smart mobility in Central Europe

CONNECT2CE aims at tackling the weak accessibility of regional, peripheral and cross-border areas of Central Europe to/from the main regional/national/EU transport networks and hubs, caused by the long lasting phenomenon of urbanisation, as a consequence of which rural population has been steadily decreasing, leading to lower density and sparsely populated rural and peripheral areas, where efficient public transport (PT) is challenging. CONNECT2CE will enhance the qualitative and quantitative understanding and the awareness of present and future regional public transport systems in CE and endow project partners, authorities and regional PT operators with tools and skills to shape their PT policies. Ultimately, this will improve the capacities of the public sector in CE to efficiently plan peripheral and cross-border public transport systems.
CONNECT2CE will do so by elaborating harmonised and coordinated strategies and tools to be mainstreamed and implemented at regional and cross border level through pilot actions, in three areas all connected and intertwined to each other and all being essential elements that contribute to the enhancement of PT services of peripheral/PSCs, harmonisation of multimodal timetables, regional and cross-border rail services); 2) Integrated ticketing and tariff schemes (integration of regional and cross border multimodal tickets will be tested and implemented for the first time); 3) Implementation of the most efficient and innovative ICT tools on info-mobility.
These outputs will be developed at transnational level, as common solutions to common problems. They need to be jointly elaborated. This approach will be applied throughout the duration of the project, by the active participation of all PPs in all WPs applying the elaborated transnational strategies and action plans at regional and cross-border level, combining transport and territorial development.

Regions using ECO-ManageMENt for eco-innovation Development

In the light of the Lisboa and Gothenburg strategies targeted at more sustainable patterns of economic development it is the main idea of the RECOMMEND project that eco-management systems and their preliminary stages can play a major role in meeting ecological challenges and can be used as a lever for establishing and strengthening of eco-innovation at a regional level.

Based on the analysis of good practice and involving regional policymakers and stakeholders the project will deliver new and improved policy approaches and methodologies to reach the following goals:
- Shaping regions of vital eco-management commitment that will raise eco-efficiency at the level of individual stakeholders
- Creating and interlinking “regional frameworks of eco-management and eco-innovation”
- Increasing the visibility of the contributions of regional economies for the solution of ecological challenges at the European level

The exchange of experience between the partner regions will be deepened
in 3 pilot actions that will prove the practicability of the project results in terms of new and improved instruments to improve eco-innovation, such as enhanced eco-voucher schemes, eco-management practitioner networks etc.

A strong project focus on awareness raising and dissemination of the project results will strengthen the commitment of regional policymakers and stakeholders for durable realisation of the Regional Implementation Plans prepared by the project partners in an assessment and peer review process. Additional briefings at EC level are planned for to feed back the project recommendations to EU policies.
The project consortium consists of 10 partners from 8 Member States with a good mixture of regions with different levels of the regional support for eco-management and eco-innovation.
There are several project partners from new member states which are very keen in increasing the number of eco-efficient businesses within their regions.
The partners decided to develop this project, because it offers the opportunity for all regions to improve their eco-efficiency even in times of limited resources.
5 partners are public authorities with responsibilities on the edge between business and environment. The other 6 partners have direct influence on the regional policies in order to raise eco-efficiency via eco-management.  All of them have full support of the regional governments and therefore they can guarantee the usage of the project results even after the project duration.
In 3 partner regions we decided to include two partners in the project consortium. This construction guarantees the inclusion of the know-how institution and the policy level at the same time.
 
The project partnership decided to divide the project in 5 interrelated phases from know-how exchange to the preparation of the Regional Implementation Plan. The entire project is characterised by an intensive interregional exchange.
Periglacial weathering and headwall erosion in cirque glacier bergschrunds

Glaciers produce cirques by scouring their beds and sapping their headwalls, but evidence to constrain models of these processes has been elusive. We report a suite of environmental measurements from three cirque glacier bergschrunds, including the first temperature series recorded at depth throughout most of an annual cycle. Compared to the ambient air, the bergschrunds were colder in summer and warmer in winter. Freeze-thaw cycles were rare, and relatively stable subfreezing temperatures persisted from November until May. Using a model for rock fracturing driven by ice segregation, we demonstrate that favorable conditions for fracturing occur not only on the headwall above the glacier, but also within the bergschrund, where periglacial weathering and glacial transport can act together to drive cirque headwall retreat. A small (∼3 °C) year-round decrease in temperatures to conditions more typical of the Pleistocene would likely intensify the weathering process. Though so far ignored in all glacial landscape evolution models, the bergschrund likely plays an essential role in the sculpting of alpine landscapes.
