Formulary Management of Targeted Immune Modulators in Ulcerative Colitis
Authors: Pant Sirjana , Le Kim , Vannabouathong Chris , Dyrda Peter
Published: March 2023

Health Canada has approved 7 targeted immune modulators for the treatment of adults with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, which include 5 biologics (adalimumab, infliximab, golimumab, ustekinumab, and vedolizumab) and 2 small molecules (tofacitinib and ozanimod). Biosimilars for adalimumab and infliximab and generics for tofacitinib are currently available in the Canadian market; however, although their patent protection has expired, there are no biosimilars for golimumab and ustekinumab.

All targeted immune modulators have undergone pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance negotiations and concluded with a Letter of Intent except for ustekinumab, which is the only targeted immune modulator not included on any public formularies for ulcerative colitis. Coverage is consistent across all drug plans except for golimumab and tofacitinib, which is not covered by all jurisdictions for ulcerative colitis.

Most public drug plans have implemented or have announced a biosimilar policy to promote the use of biosimilars over originator biologics. The listing status for targeted immune modulators in ulcerative colitis is similar across public drug plans; however, there is heterogeneity in criteria requirements for prior treatments and diagnosis definitions.

Considering these factors and the emergence of new data, it would be important to reassess these drugs and evaluate their place in therapy. Further research, such as horizon scanning, utilization analyses, and long-term effectiveness and safety studies, is warranted for targeted immune modulators to ensure the appropriate use of these drugs in the treatment of moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.
PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES AND COMPONENT COMPO-SITION OF HERACLEUM SOSNOWSKI MANDEN

Published: March 2023

The article presents a literature review regarding the composition and pharmacological properties of Heracleum Sosnowski Manden. The dominant group of biologically active substances of Heracleum Sosnowski are furano-coumarins, which are represented by angelicin, bergapten, isobergapten, iso-pimpinellin, methoxsalen, osthole, pimpinellin, sfondin, umbelliferone, isoimperatorin, marmesin, oxypeucedanin and pangelin. In addition to this group of biologically active substances, Heracleum Sosnowski contains terpe-noids, phenols and their derivatives, organic acids, aliphatic hydrocarbons, al-cohols, aldehydes, fatty acids and their esters, carbohydrates, proteins and amino acids, vitamins and alkaloids. The essential oil contains predominantly aliphatic esters and has an antibacterial effect. For Heracleum Sosnowski described photosensitizing, antihypertensive, an-tispasmodic, diuretic, antioxidant and antibacterial action. The photosensitiz-ing effect of Heracleum Sosnowski is associated with the presence of coumarins in it. Methods for obtaining galenic drugs (tinctures, extracts), suspensions of the amount of furanocoumarins and essential oil emulsions from Heracleum Sosnowski herbal raw materials have been developed under laboratory condi-tions. The toxic properties of Heracleum Sosnowski on the skin, cytotoxic, geno-toxic and mutagenic effects were noted. The phototoxicity of Heracleum Sos-nowski manifests itself in the form of photodermatitis, for the treatment of which there are currently no clinical guidelines and protocols. Medicinal plant materials Heracleum Sosnowskyi are not included in interna-tional, regional and national pharmacopoeias and, therefore, do not have ap-proved express and high-precision standardization methods, incl. methods of identification and quantitative determination of the active group of biologically active substances - furanocoumarins. Thus, the pharmacological potential of Heracleum Sosnowskyi is not well understood. There is no evidence base necessary to obtain safe and effective drugs based on it. At the same time, in order to obtain dosage forms from Her-acleum Sosnowskyi, it is necessary to develop safe methods for the procure-ment and processing of raw materials. Given the presence of cytotoxic properties, a promising direction in the study of the pharmacological properties of extracts from Heracleum Sos-nowskyi may be the assessment of their cytostatic activity against tumor cell lines in vitro.
A high-resolution satellite-based map of global methane emissions reveals missing wetland, fossil fuel, and monsoon sources

Published: March 2023

Abstract. We interpret space-borne observations from the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) in a multi-inversion framework to characterize the 2018–2019 global methane budget. Evaluation of the inverse solutions indicates that simultaneous source + sink optimization using methane observations alone remains an ill-posed problem – even with the dense TROPOMI sampling coverage. Employing remote carbon monoxide (CO) and hydroxyl radical (OH) observations with independent methane measurements to distinguish between candidate solutions, we infer from TROPOMI a global methane source of 587 (586–589) Tg yr−1 and sink of 571 Tg yr−1 for our analysis period. We apply a new downscaling method to map the derived monthly emissions to 0.1∘ × 0.1∘ resolution, using the results to uncover key gaps in the prior methane budget. The TROPOMI data point to an underestimate of tropical wetland emissions (a posteriori increase of +13 % [6 %–25 %] or 20 [7–25] Tg yr−1), with adjustments following regional hydrology. Some simple wetland parameterizations represent these patterns as accurately as more sophisticated process-based models. Emissions from fossil fuel activities are strongly underestimated over the Middle East (+5 [2–6] Tg yr−1 a posteriori increase) and over Venezuela. The TROPOMI observations also reveal many fossil fuel emission hotspots missing from the prior inventory, including over Mexico, Oman, Yemen, Turkmenistan, Iran, Iraq, Libya, and Algeria. Agricultural methane sources are underestimated in India, Brazil, the California Central Valley, and Asia. Overall, anthropogenic sources worldwide are increased by +19 [11–31] Tg yr−1 over the prior estimate. More than 45 % of this adjustment occurs over India and Southeast Asia during the summer monsoon (+8.5 [3.1–10.7] Tg in July–October), likely due to rainfall-enhanced emissions from rice, manure, and landfills/sewers, which increase during this season along with the natural wetland source.
CHENILLE: Coupled Behavior Understanding of Faults: from the Laboratory to the Field

Published: March 2023

Abstract. The understanding of coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical
behaviour of fault zones or in naturally fractured reservoirs is essential
both for fundamental and applied sciences and in particular for the safety
assessment of radioactive waste disposal facilities. The overall objective
of the CHENILLE project is to better understand the physical processes
resulting from thermal and hydraulic loading in a small fault zone in a
highly consolidated shale formation. Consequently, a thermally controlled
in-situ fluid injection experiment is intended to be performed on a
strike-slip fault zone outcropping at the Tournemire/France Underground
Research Laboratory (URL). A heating system has been installed around the
injection area to enable a precise and controlled incremental increase of
the thermal load. Different monitoring systems are designed to measure the
seismic and aseismic deformation induced either by thermal and/or by
hydraulic loading. The seismic monitoring system is composed of Acoustic
Emission (AE) and broadband seismic sensors enabling monitoring of seismic
fracturing processes down to sub-decimetre scale as well as slow deformation
processes. Furthermore, we are about to install an injection chamber
allowing to perform a controlled gaz injection test. The injection borehole
will also be partly equipped with fiber optics in order to measure
temperature in a distributed manner in the borehole. Time-lapse active
seismic surveys are scheduled for before and after the experiment to image
the structural network but also to detect the appearance of new structures
triggered from the hydro-thermal pressurization of the fault as well as
eventual changes in the velocity field.
Deforestation for agriculture leads to soil warming and enhanced litter decomposition in subarctic soils
Authors: Peplau Tino , Poeplau Christopher , Gregorich Edward , Schroeder Julia
Published: March 2023

Abstract. The climate-change-induced poleward shift of agriculture could lead to
enforced deforestation of subarctic forest. Deforestation alters the
microclimate and, thus, soil temperature, which is an important driver of
decomposition. The consequences of land-use change on soil temperature and
decomposition in temperature-limited ecosystems are not well understood. In
this study, we buried tea bags together with soil temperature loggers at two
depths (10 and 50 cm) in native subarctic forest soils and adjacent
agricultural land in the Yukon Territory, Canada. A total of 37 plots was
established on a wide range of different soils and resampled after 2 years
to quantify the land-use effect on soil temperature and decomposition of
fresh organic matter. Average soil temperature over the whole soil profile
was 2.1 ± 1.0 and 2.0 ± 0.8 ∘C higher in
cropland and grassland soils compared to forest soils. Cumulative degree
days (the annual sum of daily mean temperatures > 0 ∘C)
increased significantly by 773 ± 243 (cropland) and 670 ± 285
(grassland). Litter decomposition was enhanced by 2.0 ± 10.4 % and
7.5 ± 8.6  % in cropland topsoil and subsoil compared to forest
soils, but no significant difference in decomposition was found between
grassland and forest soils. Increased litter decomposition may be attributed not only
to increased temperature but also to management effects,
such as irrigation of croplands. The results suggest that
deforestation-driven temperature changes exceed the soil temperature
increase that has already been observed in Canada due to climate change. Deforestation
thus amplifies the climate–carbon feedback by increasing soil warming and
organic matter decomposition.
Variability of coastal downwelling circulation in response to high-resolution regional atmospheric forcing off the Pearl River Estuary
Authors: Lai Wenfeng , Gan Jianping
Published: March 2023

Abstract. We investigated the variabilities of coastal circulation and dynamics in response to spatiotemporally variable high-resolution atmospheric forcing off the Pearl River Estuary during the downwelling wind. Our investigation focused on the processes and dynamics of coastal downwelling circulation in response to variable atmospheric forcing of (1) single station observation, (2) global reanalysis data, and (3) a high-resolution regional atmospheric model. We found that the high-resolution atmospheric model significantly improved the representations of the near-surface wind and air temperature, and the ocean model driven by the high-resolution and spatially variable atmospheric forcing improved the circulation and associated hydrographic properties in the coastal ocean. Momentum and vorticity analyses further revealed that the cross-isobath water exchange was primarily governed by the along-isobath pressure gradient force (PGF), which was influenced by different components of the atmospheric forcing. The spatial-temporal variability of high-resolution wind forcing determined the strength and structure of coastal circulation, and improved estimates of cross-isobath transport and the associated PGF by refining the net stress curl and nonlinear advection of relative vorticity in the simulation. The high-resolution heat forcing can greatly improve the sea surface temperature simulation and adjust the nonlinear advection of relative vorticity, resulting in changes in cross-isobath transport.
Effects of including the adjoint sea ice rheology on estimating Arctic Ocean–sea ice state
Authors: Lyu Guokun , Koehl Armin , Wu Xinrong , Zhou Meng , Stammer Detlef
Published: March 2023

Abstract. The adjoint assimilation method has been applied to coupled ocean and sea ice models for sensitivity studies and Arctic state estimations. However, the accuracy of the adjoint model is degraded by simplifications of the adjoint of the sea ice model, especially the adjoint sea ice rheologies. As part of ongoing developments in coupled ocean and sea ice estimation systems, we incorporate and approximate the adjoint of viscous-plastic sea ice dynamics (adjoint-VP) and compare it with the adjoint of free-drift sea ice dynamics (adjoint-FD) through assimilation experiments. Using the adjoint-VP results in a further cost reduction of 7.9 % in comparison to adjoint-FD, with noticeable improvements in the ocean temperature over the open water and the intermediate layers of the Arctic Ocean. Adjoint-VP adjusts the model input more efficiently than adjoint-FD does by involving different sea ice retreat processes. For instance, adjoint-FD melts the sea ice up to 1.0 m in the marginal seas from May to June by overadjusting air temperature (>8 ∘C); adjoint-VP reproduces the sea ice retreat with smaller adjustments to the atmospheric state within their prior uncertainty range. These developments of the adjoint model here lay the foundation for further improving Arctic Ocean and sea ice estimations by comprehensively adjusting the initial conditions, atmospheric forcings, and parameters of the model.
Mapping age and basal conditions of ice in the Dome Fuji region, Antarctica, by combining radar internal layer stratigraphy and flow modeling

Published: March 2023

Abstract. The Dome Fuji (DF) region in Antarctica is a potential site for an ice core with a record of over one million years. Here, we combine the internal airborne radar stratigraphy with a 1-D model to estimate the age of basal ice in the DF region. The radar data used in the study were collected in a survey during the 2016–2017 Antarctica season. We transfer the newest age–depth scales from the DF ice core to isochrones in the surrounding 500 km × 550 km region through traced radar isochrones. At each point of the survey the 1-D model uses the ages of isochrones to construct the age–depth scale at depths where dated isochrones do not exist, the basal thermal conditions, including the thickness of a potentially present basal layer and surface accumulation rates. Our resulting age distribution and age density suggest that a few promising sites with ice older than 1.5 million years in the DF region might exist. The deduced melt rates and presence of stagnant ice map provides more constraints for finding sites with a cold base. The accumulation rates range from 0.015 to 0.038 m a-1 ice equivalent. The numbers of picked isochrones and the timescale of the ice core severely affect the model results according to sensitivity studies. Our study demonstrates it is possible to find the old ice in the DF region, the constraint from deep radar isochrones and a trustworthy timescale could improve the model estimation.
Leveraging control priors in deep reinforcement learning for robotics
Authors:   , Rana Krishan
Published: March 2023

This thesis proposes a series of hybrid approaches to robot control that combine classical control methods and deep reinforcement learning (RL). Classical control methods work well in structured environments, but struggle in unstructured and stochastic situations. RL has the potential to learn complex controllers through trial and error, however, current methods are sample-inefficient and unsafe. The proposed hybrid approaches combine the strengths of both systems, resulting in efficient, reliable, and dexterous decision-making systems for real-world robotics. This is demonstrated through a sequence of four publications, showing that the hybrid approaches outperform either system operating independently.
Nano Urea: A Small Solution with a Big Impact on Sustainable Agriculture
Authors: Tiwari Shradha
Published: March 2023

Nano urea is a promising alternative to conventional urea for improving nitrogen use efficiency in agriculture. However, the nitrogen holding capacity of nano urea is a critical factor in its effectiveness as a fertilizer. This paper explores various approaches for increasing the nitrogen holding capacity of nano urea, including the use of coatings, encapsulation, and functionalization with polymers or other additives. The results suggest that these strategies can improve the stability and release characteristics of nano urea, enhancing its nitrogen holding capacity and reducing the risk of nitrogen loss through leaching or volatilization. The paper also discusses the challenges and opportunities associated with the development and commercialization of these technologies, including considerations related to safety, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. The findings of this study have implications for the design and optimization of nano urea products, with potential benefits for sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation. Overall, the paper highlights the potential of increasing the nitrogen holding capacity of nano urea through innovative approaches in materials science and engineering.

Keywords: Nano urea, encapsulation, additives, scalability, sustainable agriculture, material science.

Authors: Ram M. Karthik , Selvabaskar S. , Rajarathi K. , Guhan R.
Published: March 2023

In this paper, the authors proposed a new framework for Mobile application adoption by unorganized retailers. Unorganized retail is a renowned retail business in India. Unorganized retail is a so-called low-cost retail format where some of the retail stores are Kirana store, Grocery store, provisional store, ready to eat store, mom & pop store, peddlers, Hawkers, and stationery store. Retailers face stiff competition from omnichannel, multi-channel retailers, and e-tailers. To counter this competition, unorganized retailers adopt some Mobile applications which are relevant to their business. While some of the Mobile Applications are WhatsApp business, Facebook page, telegram, blogs, google maps Mandi app, Udaan app, Katha book app, OK credit, Dukan app, and just dial. This paper explains a deep discussion about unorganized retailers, unorganized retailers' contributions to the economy, the Digital India program, and Mobile Application. A new comprehensive framework has been proposed for mobile application adoption by the unorganized retailer after getting insights from theories like Technology Adoption Model (TAM), Extension of Technology Adoption Model (TAM), Technology, Organization and Environment (TOE), and Diffusion of Innovation (DOI). In this research, the author segments three major clusters which influence mobile technology adoption. The three major clusters are Technology, Organization, and Environment. These clusters had 10 constructs that influence mobile technology adoption. This research elaborately discussed the drivers of technology adoption in an unorganized retail context. We close by concluding that mobile application adoption by the unorganized retailer and reshaped the unorganized retail.
Understanding and Improving Anode Performance in an Alkaline Membrane Electrolyzers
Authors: Mustain William E.
Published: March 2023

The massive international investment in water electrolysis has accelerated the need to reduce cost and increase durability. In recent years, Anion exchange membrane electrolyzers (AEMELs) have been touted as a possible low-cost option to supplant traditional alkaline electrolyzers and proton exchange membrane electrolyzers because they promise to combine the benefits of both – namely high current density operation, high discharge pressure, the use of noble-metal free catalysts, and the ability to use a wider range of materials for other cell components. As AEMELs are still early in their developmental stage, much of the reported work in the literature has dealt with the development of new catalysts or membranes for these devices and have worried less about engineering aspects of AEMEL design such as loading optimization, the structure and composition of the porous transport layers (PTL), the balance of IEC between the cathode, membrane and anode, etc. This presentation intends to take the audience through a systematic optimization of the anode electrode for AEMELs. Some of the variables to be discussed are: i) IEC and cross-linker content of the ionomers; ii) ionomer physical structure; iii) catalyst loading; iv) PTL density and thickness; and v) number of layers that comprise the catalyst layer. The balance and sometimes compromise between performance and durability will also be discussed. By the end of the presentations of electrodes will be demonstrated that were integrated into AEMELs and are able to show very low voltage operation on both deionized water and 0.3 M KOH as well as stable longer-term operation.

¿Qué es el existencialismo?
Authors: Samour Héctor
Published: March 2023

El artículo realiza una aproximación al existencialismo analizando sus tesis fundamentales a partir de sus antecedentes en la historia de la filosofía y desde las obras más relevantes de los diversos autores que se han considerado existencialistas. Sin embargo, la denominación de existencialista se puede extender a otros pensadores que la rechazan e incluso a autores de épocas anteriores que no han sido identificados como tales. Una característica esencial del existencialismo es precisamente esta aparente indeterminación de su pensamiento y el contraste con el bajo número de pensadores que aceptan tal denominación debido a su ubicua localización histórica y geográfica. Y es que el existencialismo no es solo una escuela filosófica, sino la plasmación conceptual de una actitud y el estudio profundo de la existencia humana.

Mi viaje como una SalviYorker
Authors: Molina-Tamacas Carmen
Published: March 2023

Soy una hija de la guerra. Nací en San Salvador, El Salvador, en 1975. Cuatro años después, un golpe de Estado derrocó a un gobierno autoritario y muy pronto el país se encontró al borde de la guerra civil que duró más de una década. Eso significó, para mí, una niñez sin las cosas normales como diversión al aire libre, ropa bonita o juguetes caros. Pero mis padres lucharon cada día para que mis hermanos y yo tuviéramos todo lo que necesitábamos, especialmente una buena educación. Aunque vivíamos en la capital y la confrontación entre los militares y la guerrilla era en el campo, teníamos miedo. Pero fuimos muy afortunados al sobrevivir a los desafíos no solo de la guerra, sino de violentos terremotos, huracanes y otros desastres naturales que ocurrieron en esos años. Todo eso ha hecho a los salvadoreños un pueblo fuerte y resiliente. Pero la resiliencia es una de las razones por las cuales muchas veces no nos gusta contar nuestras historias. A mí sí me gusta contarlas. Lo descubrí cuando estudiaba la secundaria, mientras sufría con las Matemáticas y la Química. Para mi fortuna, los sacerdotes jesuitas que nos enseñaban Literatura y Redacción me motivaron a explorar y encontrar mi voz interior. Poco después de graduarme, en 1993 —un año después de la firma de los Acuerdos de Paz, que puso punto final a la guerra civil— fui contratada como asistente de corrección en uno de los periódicos de mayor circulación de El Salvador. Después de un año, me incorporé a la Redacción sin haber estudiado periodismo. Fue muy duro. Pero aquí estoy, veinticinco años después. Hoy, 12 de septiembre de 2020, escribo estas líneas a la vez que espero el resultado del International Latino Book Awards (Premio Internacional del Libro Latino) donde mi libro SalviYorkers es finalista en dos categorías. La ceremonia de premiación será virtual en Los Ángeles, por primera vez, debido a la pandemia de la COVID-19. Independientemente del resultado, me considero una ganadora. Lanzar un libro en 2020, tener la posibilidad de presentarlo a varias y diversas audiencias y vender ejemplares durante este tiempo sin precedentes ya es un éxito.

Published: March 2023

Over many years, the power industry has used series compensation with fixed series capacitors for long-distance ac power transmission. With the availability of Thyristor Controlled Series Compensators (TCSC), utilities have the option of using them instead of fixed series capacitors to exploit the advantage of their flexibility and controllability. The use of TCSCs for damping electro-mechanical oscillations and Sub-Synchronous Resonance (SSR) has been investigated and reported over the years. This paper presents a review of those techniques to damp SSR problems associated with conventional multi-mass turbine generator systems in series compensated networks. This paper also demonstrates that SSR can be damped out with the proper choice of TCSC parameters and/or control strategies even without an auxiliary damping controller. Sub-synchronous behavior of the TCSC is simulated in both open loop and closed loop controls in the time domain through Electro-Magnetic Transient (EMT) simulations. IEEE 1st Benchmark model for SSR studies is used in this paper to demonstrate the effect of TCSC parameters and control methodology in damping SSR.

The rise of respiratory infections, such as the SARS epidemic in 2003, and the H1N1 influenza epidemic in 2011, highlighted the importance of efficient ventilation in healthcare facilities. The novel SARS -Cov-2 disease has sparked many concerns over the ventilation performance of multi-bed isolation wards and their ability to suppress airborne infectious contamination. The study is primarily based on suggesting ventilation improvements for a locally acquired multi-bed intensive care isolation unit. The study via ANSYS -fluent incorporates a k-ε turbulent model that is used to analyze exhaled CO2 particle tracks of 4 human models. Three ventilation strategies, namely, Displacement, Stratum, and Curtain -Air-jet are initially considered and evaluated based on two indoor air quality indices (IAQs), namely, air change efficiency and contaminant removal effectiveness. Stratum ventilation comfortably exhibits unidirectional flow characteristics with an air change efficiency of 0.946, which was obtained through ANSYS -CFX while each suggested configuration is capable of achieving a contaminant removal effectiveness value greater than 1 which depicts that the contamination source is not in a perfect mixing zone. Results provided inconclusive evidence to draw correlations between the two IAQ indices and thus it is confirmed that these indices solely depend on the type of ventilation strategy. Contaminant concentration on health care worker breathing plane and exhaled particle tracking for 4 minutes in each analyzed configuration revealed that both Stratum and Curtain air-jet models improve the escaped particle efficiency by 25% and 29% respectively compared to the base model. These models are further compared against reference values specified by guidelines to evaluate their suitability for real-world operation.

Correlation of Physical Spaces, Mental Health and Work Performance in Lockdowns- the Case of Saudi Arabia
Authors: Alsharif Mohammad
Published: March 2023

In order to determine the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of workers’ cognitive performance, as well as on work engagement and work environment, we anticipated that there would be a correlation between the variables. The study included 600 participants, of whom 597 responded, resulting in data collection from 597 participants. The participants’ approval was required before any demographic data could be obtained. The study was carried out during the first pandemic wave, which brought about an immediate lockdown and compelled the majority of the firm to switch to having their employees work from home. The results of the data suggested that there was only a very little correlation between the variables, however the outcomes of the research revealed that there was a definite relationship. It is not notable, in this research’s outcomes that leaning on social resources may help decrease COVID-19 anxiety. This discovery comes at a time when the favorable theoretical effect of work crafts continues to rise.

Public facilities related to religion one of which is the mosque. Mosque Is a place of worship for Muslimsworldwide. The city of Surabaya which incidentally is a tourist city that is often visited by foreign and local tourists,and especially the Muslims who want to establish prayer and need access to the location of the nearest mosque. Thereal condition that often happens is that tourists do not know the position of the closest mosque around them, so spendtime searching for the existence of the mosque. Particle Swarm Optimization Method is an algorithm that is inspiredby the behavior of a group of birds in a group to look for food. This method is one of the methods for searching theshortest distance. With this method, it can provide solutions to produce the closest location. From the tests carriedout, the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm has been successfully applied to the search for the nearest Mosquelocation point and has successfully designed and built a nearby Mosque location search application based on AndroidMobile. By comparing with the euclidean distance algorithm the results of Particle Swarm Optimization show that70% accurately show the same results.
Power versus Ministry? Recent Challenges for Priestly Formation in Responding to the Double Crisis in the Catholic Church
Authors: Novotný Štefan
Published: March 2023

The author offers theological reflection on a paradigm of transforming the power of ministry proven in the beginnings of the Church: to see and serve Jesus Christ in the suffering human being. An impressive topos of this paradigm is found in the Johannine scene of Jesus’ crucifixion and burial (John 19). Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus provide interesting examples of a shift from power to ministry, which can be useful for the education and formation of future priests. Several verbs characterize the paradigm: to see, to be present, to listen, to serve, to be generous, to cooperate. The final reports from national commissions of inquiry in different countries show similar findings and propose comparable recommendations for the training of future priests. Finally, the author illustrates the implementation of some preventive measures to evaluate the suitability of candidates before entering the formation process.

Published: March 2023

In accordance with a ‘people centred’ vision, this paper critically examines current approaches to smart cities benchmarking. In particular, by means of correlation analysis and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) we put in evidence present limitations of city rankings and, as well, the emergence of different perspectives for data interpretations. To follow, a possible redesign of the ‘Smart Cities Analytics’ grounded on the traces left by individuals, is suggested. In particular, as an example, we focus on the potentiality offered by automatic text analysis to extract people perceptions and expectations that, in turns, demonstrate the need to integrate bottom-up and top-down approaches to city benchmarking. Finally a novel definition of smart city based on the territorial state of flow is proposed and, as a consequence, a novel path toward smart city benchmarking suggested.

This paper presents findings from a project focusing on the specific needs of vulnerable generations – children and elderly people – in design teaching and training activities. The thirty-months project embodied a series of activities for developing, implementing and evaluating teaching materials focused on design for vulnerable generations, and identified two critical elements for the promotion of more inclusive design. First, knowledge and skills were identified through a collaborative process with stakeholders. We also applied in-depth data collection methods, surveys, interviews and case studies with experts and operators in relevant industry and research centres, in order to identify training needs. From this, nine teaching modules were developed and tested in pilot studies. These will be made freely available online. Second, we identified the need to disseminate, focus and increase awareness among teachers, design students and professionals for vulnerable generations. This was achieved through the establishment of an international design award. Three different categories of award with relevant sets of criteria were developed through an iterative process and have been launched and evaluated. The contribution of this paper is twofold. Firstly, to encourage educators, through the communication and dissemination of the results of the project, to extend their user groups to include design for vulnerable generations, and secondly to enhance designers’ interest and knowledge in working with design for vulnerable generations.
Where’s the smartness of learning in smart territories ?
Authors:   University of Rome Tor Vergata - Dip. SPFS, Giovannella Carlo
Published: March 2023

In the future smarter territories are expected to induce transformations of many aspects of the learning processes, but how their smartness is and will be related to that of the learning ecosystems ? In this paper, by means of Principal Component Analysis, we critically analyse methods presently used to benchmark and produce University rankings, by focusing on the case study of the Italian Universities. The outcomes of such analysis allow us to demonstrate the existence of a strong correlation between smart cities’ and universities’ rankings, i.e. between learning ecosystems and their territories of reference. Present benchmarking approaches, however, need to take in more consideration people feelings and expectations. Accordingly we suggest an innovative point of view on the benchmarking of learning ecosystems based, also, on the so called flow.
