The Advanced Infra-Red WAter Vapour Estimator (AIRWAVE) version 2: algorithm evolution, dataset description and performance improvements
Authors: Castelli Elisa , Papandrea Enzo , Di Roma Alessio , Dinelli Bianca Maria , Casadio Stefano , Bojkov Bojan
Published: January 2019

Abstract. Total column water vapour (TCWV) is a key atmospheric variable
which is generally evaluated on global scales through the use of satellite
data. Recently a new algorithm, called AIRWAVE (Advanced Infra-Red WAter
Vapour Estimator), has been developed for the retrieval of the TCWV from the
Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) instrument series. The AIRWAVE
algorithm retrieves TCWV by exploiting the dual view of the ATSR instruments
using the infrared channels at 10.8 and 12 µm and nadir and
forward observation geometries. The algorithm was used to produce a TCWV
database over sea from the whole ATSR mission. When compared to independent
TCWV products, the AIRWAVE version 1 (AIRWAVEv1) database shows very good
agreement with an overall bias of 3 % all over the ATSR missions. A large
contribution to this bias comes from the polar and the coastal regions, where
AIRWAVE underestimates the TCWV amount. In this paper we describe an updated
version of the algorithm, specifically developed to reduce the bias in these
regions. The AIRWAVE version 2 (AIRWAVEv2) accounts for the atmospheric
variability at different latitudes and the associated seasonality. In
addition, the dependency of the retrieval parameters on satellite
across-track viewing angles is now explicitly handled. With the new algorithm
we produced a second version of the AIRWAVE dataset. As for AIRWAVEv1, the
quality of the AIRWAVEv2 dataset is assessed through the comparison with the
Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) and with the Analyzed RadioSounding
Archive (ARSA) TCWV data. Results show significant improvements in both
biases (from 0.72 to 0.02 kg m−2) and
standard deviations (from 5.75 to 4.69 kg m−2), especially in polar
and coastal regions. A qualitative and quantitative estimate of the main error
sources affecting the AIRWAVEv2 TCWV dataset is also given. The new dataset
has also been used to estimate the water vapour climatology from the
1991–2012 time series.
Neural Network Radiative Transfer for Imaging Spectroscopy
Authors: Bue Brian D. , Thompson David R. , Deshpande Shubhankar , Eastwood Michael , Green Robert O. , Mullen Terry , Natraj Vijay , Parente Mario
Published: January 2019

Abstract. Visible/Shortwave InfraRed imaging spectroscopy provides valuable remote measurements of Earth's surface and atmospheric properties. These measurements generally rely on inversions of computationally-intensive Radiative Transfer Models (RTMs). RTMs' computational expense makes them difficult to use with high volume imaging spectrometers, and forces approximations such as lookup table interpolation and surface/atmosphere decoupling. These compromises limit the accuracy and flexibility of the remote retrieval; dramatic speed improvements in radiative transfer models could significantly improve the utility and interpretability of remote spectroscopy for Earth science. This study demonstrates that nonparametric function approximation with neural networks can replicate Radiative Transfer calculations over a relevant range of surface/atmosphere parameters. Incorporating physical knowledge into the network structure provides improved interpretability and model efficiency. We evaluate the approach in atmospheric correction of data from the PRISM airborne imaging spectrometer, and demonstrate accurate emulation of radiative transfer calculations which run several orders of magnitude faster than first-principles models. These results are particularly amenable to iterative spectrum fitting approaches, providing analytical benefits including statistically rigorous treatment of uncertainty and the potential to recover information on spectrally-broad signals.
Energy saving optimal design and control of electromagnetic brake on passenger car
Authors: Hu Donghai , Yan Yanzhi , Xu Xiaoming
Published: January 2019

Abstract. In this paper, the optimal design and control method of
electromagnetic brake for a typical city driving cycle are studied to
improve its energy consumption characteristics. The prediction models of the
braking performance and power consumption for electromagnetic brake were
established, and their accuracies were verified on the hardware of the loop
simulation platform. Moreover, the energy consumption based on the ECE-EUDC
driving condition was taken as the objective function, and a mathematical
model for the optimal design of the electromagnetic brake was established.
Genetic Algorithm was used to seek global optimal solution of these design
variables on the premise of the given electrical and space constraints.
Finally, the effect of thermodynamic properties of electromagnetic brake on
the energy consumption characteristics was analyzed, and the energy saving
control method of electromagnetic brake was also proposed. Experimental
results show that the energy saving optimal design and control that this
paper investigates can significantly improve the energy efficiency of
electromagnetic brake.
Evaluation of Arctic Ocean surface salinities from SMOS
and two CMEMS reanalyses against in-situ data sets
Authors: Xie Jiping , Raj Roshin P. , Bertino Laurent , Samuelsen Annette , Wakamatsu Tsuyoshi
Published: January 2019

Abstract. Although the stratification of the upper Arctic Ocean is mostly salinity-driven, the sea surface salinity (SSS) is still poorly known in the Arctic, due to its strong variability and the sparseness of in-situ observations. Recently, two gridded SSS products have been derived from the European Space Agency's (ESA) Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission, independently developed by the Barcelona Expert Centre (BEC) in Spain and the Ocean Salinity Expertise Center (CECOS) of the Centre Aval de Traitemenent des Donnees SMOS (CATDS) in France, respectively. In parallel, there are two reanalysis products providing the Arctic SSS in the framework of the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Services (CMEMS), one global, and another regional product. While the regional Arctic TOPAZ4 system assimilates a large set of sea-ice and ocean observations with an Ensemble Kalman Filter, the global reanalysis combines in-situ and satellite data using a multivariate ensemble optimal interpolation method. In this study, focused on the Arctic Ocean, these four salinity products, together with the climatology both World Ocean Atlas (WOA) of 2013 and Polar science center Hydrographic Climatology (PHC), are evaluated against in-situ datasets during 2011–2013. For the validation the in-situ observations are divided in two; those that have been assimilated and those that have not. The deviations of SSS between the different products and against the in-situ observations show largest disagreements below the sea-ice and in the marginal ice zone (MIZ), especially during the summer months. In the Beaufort Sea, the summer SSS from the BEC product has the smallest – saline – bias (~0.6 psu) with the smallest root mean squared difference (RSMD) of 2.6 psu. This suggests a potential value of assimilating of this product into the forthcoming Arctic reanalyses. Keywords: Arctic Ocean; sea surface salinity; SMOS; reanalysis; absolute deviation;
Working conditions of retail industry workers in Hong Kong
Authors: Young Fanny YF
Published: January 2019

This study investigated the relationship of working hour, work-life balance and mental health conditions in full-time retail industry workers in Hong Kong, an area without standard working hour legislation, in a follow up study during reduction in retail sales. Two questionnaire surveys were conducted, one in 2014 and the other one in 2015. Each survey comprised 100 retail industry workers in the same retail industry area in an anonymous basis.  In 2014 the working hour was long (51.92 hours per week). During this reduction in retail sales there was a significant reduction in the originally long working hours (from 51.92 hours to 47.25 hours, p<0.0001), an increase in daily hours of personal or private activities (3.06 hours to 3.606 hours, not statistical significant), a significant increase in self-perceived work-life balance (from 3.76 to 4.51, p=0.0009), a decrease in number of workers having problems due to disturbed work-life balance, and a significant decrease in the high mental health score (from 18.93 to 15.36, p=0.0003) indicating improvement in mental health conditions. The findings provide scientific evidence for policy making, the working hour in an area without standard working hour legislation could be long. Reduction in working hour resulted in an improvement in work-life balance and mental health conditions.
“Clad in flesch and Blood”: The Sartorial Body and Female Self-Fashioning in The Book of Margery Kempe
Authors: Lucas Hannah
Published: January 2019

This article examines how the engagement with textiles and textile-craft in The Book of Margery Kempe facilitates the performance of Margery's female religious identity. Drawing on the fundamental precepts of performance theory, the article responds to recent scholarly interest in the manifestations of material devotional culture and the performative body. It first maps out the charged theological significations of textiles and their subsequent transformative potential. Then, it examines how Margery finds an active tool in “fabrics of devotion” in the form of saintly relics, images, and garments themselves, and how Margery's adoption of white garb refashions her body in the image of a saintly matrilineage. It concludes that interaction with Bridgettine visual and material objects supplies Margery with a new Marian iconography, which allows her to perform a double imitatio, weaving together the thread of her own life into the rich tapestry of archetypal holy women.

Authors: Zhang Guohua , Zhao Kangting , Li Yi
Published: January 2019

In view of the sensitivity of the traditional mean algorithm to outliers and noise points, an improved mean algorithm is proposed in this paper, which is based on the density of the distribution of objects in space. In the measurement of density, the sensitivity of clustering effect to initial parameters is reduced. The improved algorithm can filter the "noise" data and discover the clustering of arbitrary shapes, which is obviously superior to the standard mean algorithm.

De katholieke sociale leer over de relatie gelovige/burger, samenleving en seculiere staat
Authors: van Stiphout Maurice
Published: January 2019

Catholic social doctrine on the relationship between believer/citizen, society, and secular State

In the 19th century in many Western states, the close relationship between Church and State came to an end and the Roman Catholic Church developed into a major and active player on social and educational level in society separate from the State.

This was due, on the one hand, to the constitutional changes in the Western states from the end of the 18th century, which led to the gradual introduction of the formal principle of separation of Church and State. On the other hand, it was a result of the search for a new position of the Roman Catholic Church in society that also influenced the theological reflection of the Church on society.

The ecclesiastical reflection on the ideal relationship between Church and State took shape in the course of this process in the Ius Publicum Ecclesiasticum. The ecclesiastical view on the relationship between believers/citizens, society and State simultaneously took shape in Catholic social doctrine, which today still offers a model for modern society. In Catholic social doctrine, the believer/citizen is the connecting element between Church and State in a secular society. The ‘state doctrine’ of the Catholic Church is presented in Catholic social doctrine as an ideal image of the democratic constitutional state in which man is central and forms the central link between Church, society and secular State.

The article analyses the institiution of extended confiscation in the Italian Republic where such solution has been functioning for over twenty years, depriving criminal organisatuions of assets worth hundreds of milions euro. The aricle elaborates on the most important characteristics of the italian institiution and adresses the controversies they rise together with related doctrine and judgments of the supreme court. The characteristics have been confronted with the solutions introduced into the Polish legal system by the law od 23 march 2017. The new regulations allow in certain situations to confiscate an entire enterprise belonging to a person that didn’t comit the crime, introduce the possibility of confiscating assets even if the perpetrator is not recognized and a presumption that any asset bought in 5 years before comittment of a crime is a profit from the crime.
W meandrach trzech gałęzi prawa,
czyli kilka słów o bigamii
Authors: Błaszczak Paweł , Palichleb Patrycja
Published: January 2019

Bigamy, interpreted as entering into marriage by a person who is already married, is a phenomenon which can be analyzed on a number of different levels. One of the areas of the analysis is the area of penal law where bigamy is perceived as a crime against values such as proper functioning of family. Regulations of civil law concerning conclusion of marriage, declaring its non-existence and validity are relevant in context of realization of features of prohibited act created by Polish legislator in Article 206 of the Penal Code.
Recognition of monogamy as the only permissible form of marriage is based, according to many authors, on the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. However, how is criminalization of bigamy justified on the area of axiology? How is bigamy perceived by legislation of the Catholic Church? In which way regulations of the Family and Guardianship Code affect realization of features of the crime from Article 206 of the Penal Code?
The aim of this article is to seek an answer to the question why the legislator decided to criminalize bigamy. It is also a try to point out issues raised during the analysis of this subject in different areas of law, which are often disputed. Authors try to highlight the influence of the European and Judeo-Christian traditions on legislation in matter of bigamy.

Legal Professional Privilege is a material procedural safeguard that ensures protection of communication between undertaking and its legal counsel in the competition law. It is essential to differentiate the rules governing European and Polish antitrust proceedings in order to guarantee undertakings the widest possible protection against the search of premises. In each case when the primary aim of administrative regulations is to penalize the entrepreneurs for illegal conduct, it should be assured that at least similar safeguards to these adopted in criminal proceedings are secured.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT PATTERNS IN ENGLISH AND LITHUANIAN RESEARCH WRITING
Authors: Šinkūnienė Jolanta , Dudzinskaitė Gabrielė
Published: January 2019

The paper focuses on the features of acknowledgments in scientific texts written by British and Lithuanian authors in the Humanities. The data comes from a self-compiled corpus of acknowledgments in scientific books written by British and Lithuanian researchers in their native languages, and from doctoral dissertations written by Lithuanian doctoral students in Lithuanian. The results of the quantitative and qualitative analysis suggest that the British scholars place more importance on acknowledgments as they single out their thanks as separate sections, make them longer and express gratitude for a larger number of individuals and institutions than the Lithuanian scholars. Generally the same moves and steps are employed in the three data sets, but the distribution of some moves and steps is different.

Authors: Söthe Ari , Visentini Monize Sâmara , Kegel Patricia Luíza
Published: January 2019

Neste estudo analisa-se de que modo os indicadores demográficos e socioeconômicos se relacionam com os mecanismos distributivos da estrutura tributária brasileira, com a execução orçamentária e com os índices de desenvolvimento municipal (considerando-se as áreas da saúde, educação e emprego e renda). Utilizou-se a coleta de dados secundários de 170 municípios catarinenses, selecionados por meio de amostragem probabilística. Os resultados demonstraram que municípios com maior população, contribuição tributária, densidade demográfica e PIB per capita têm maior execução orçamentária, especialmente nas áreas da saúde e educação. Além disso, foi identificado que a melhoria dos índices de desenvolvimento não está diretamente vinculada à distribuição e execução orçamentária dentro do atual modelo distributivo. Conclui-se que elementos como qualificação dos gastos e das políticas públicas, esforço tributário/arrecadatório e capacidade de influência dos recursos distribuídos sobre os índices de desenvolvimento municipal podem representar alternativas para as mudanças nos atuais mecanismos distributivos.

Una de las claves de la educación física es la mejora de la convivencia entre los escolares. La vivencia de emociones positivas o negativas en las situaciones motrices tiene una relación directa con la educación de las relaciones interpersonales. En este estudio se examinó la vivencia emocional suscitada por situaciones cooperativas de expresión motriz. Participaron 81 estudiantes (Medad = 21,05 años, DT = 2,06; 22 chicas y 59 chicos) del Instituto Nacional de Educación Física de Cataluña (Universidad de Barcelona). Se utilizó la escala validada de juegos y emociones (GES). Tras cada actividad los alumnos anotaron la intensidad experimentada en trece emociones y realizaron un comentario sobre las causas que originaron la emoción más intensa. El estudio empleó métodos mixtos, y complementó el análisis de los datos cuantitativos con el de los datos cualitativos. Los resultados confirmaron la contribución de la expresión en la vivencia de experiencias positivas.

This study examined emotional experiences elicited in cooperative situations in which motor expression took place. A sample of 81 students (Mean Age = 21.05, SD = 2.06, 22 girls and 59 boys) from the National Institute of Physical Education of Catalonia (University of Barcelona) participated in this study. The validated game and emotions scale (GES) was used. After each activity, students assessed the intensity of thirteen emotions and explained the causes of the most intense emotion. The study used mixed methods, whereby qualitative data complemented quantitative data. The results confirmed the impact of motor expression on positive experiences.
Cocina, espacio público y género: el trabajo en las cocinas de hotel (Mar del Plata, segunda mitad del siglo XX)
Authors: Garazi Débora
Published: January 2019

Objective/context: This article deals with the way in which cooking, the public space and gender were linked, on the basis of an analysis of work in the kitchens of the hotel sector in the city of Mar del Plata (Argentina), in the second half of the 20th century. Originality: In Argentina, historical studies have usually focused on domestic kitchens and the working experiences which took place in them, which were associated with the figures of both the housewife and the domestic servant. However, in this article, our interest is focused on the work undertaken in kitchens belonging to hotels of different categories, which enables us to make visible the tensions which arise when an activity traditionally associated with the domestic sphere is carried out in the public and “productive” sphere. In that regard, it provides us with an understanding of the hierarchies established in this activity, which were anchored in the gender of the person who carried it out, and the “splitting” of culinary knowledge between haute cuisine and domestic or everyday cooking. Methodology: This investigation followed a qualitative kind of methodology. Data gathered from a fragmented and heterogeneous set of sources were linked: interviews, collective bargaining agreements, manuals of the hotel industry, the rulings of labor courts and classified ads. Conclusions: We reached the conclusion that the hotel trade in Mar del Plata clearly showed a sexual division of labor, even in the same field, which reaffirmed the opposition between female domesticity versus male productivity which is characteristic of modernity. In the public space, women were allowed to run a kitchen when the activity was not that different from that done on the domestic scale, but when the activity reached “industrial” volumes, it was the exclusive province of men. For women, cooking was a job, while for men it was a profession.

In the farming industry, the productivity of livestock herds depends on the fertility efficiency of animals. The accurate diagnosis of a broad range of aetiological agents causing fetal death is often difficult. Our aim was to assess the prevalence rates ofToxoplasma gondii,Neospora caninum, andBrucellaspp. infections in ruminant abortion using bacteriological culture and molecular techniques in Mazandaran Province, northern Iran. Samples were collected from 70 aborted sheep, goat, and cattle fetuses between September 2014 and December 2015. Necropsy was performed on all the received samples, and brain tissue and abomasal content were obtained from the aborted fetuses. Protozoan infections were detected by specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and bacterial agents using bacteriological examinations and PCR assay. Infectious pathogens were detected in 22 out of 70 (31.4%) examined fetuses. Moreover,T. gondii,N. caninum, andB. melitensiswere verified in 13 (18.6%), four (5.7%), and two (2.85%) samples, respectively. Our results showed that infection with the mentioned pathogenic agents may lead to fetal mortality, which can be a major cause of economic loss. The listed pathogens could be considered important etiological agents of fetal loss in Mazandaran Province, for which appropriate control measures such as vaccination and biosecurity can be implemented to prevent infection and reduce reproductive loss in livestock farms.

Este texto diz respeito à memória, hoje, como palco da luta de classes. Em seis teses desenvolve-se que: 1. o lembrado ou não lembrado das práticas humanas do século XX constitui-se num debate elaborado em surdina, mas, que já provoca ruído; 2. que o debate na apropriação pela memória faz parte da luta pelo poder; 3. que a memória não vale por ela mesma, mas, pela apropriação e seu uso na luta por hegemonia; 4. que o discurso historiográfico não é neutro; 5. que o ideário neoliberal veiculado pelas media fortalece um presentismo que impede a cultura crítica, conceitos e valores de potencial subversivo, com evidentes consequências na exploração do trabalho, na ação política reformista, na reabilitação, em surdina, das práticas políticas da ditadura, do salazarismo, do colonialismo; 6. que a resistência ao apagamento da memória é tarefa de movimentos sociais. Finalmente, que os trilhos da memória são a espinha dorsal da identidade de quem vem de longe na luta política. Que essa consciência de si é o fulcro de todo o combate emancipatório. Por isto, tenhamos Memória.

E, do ponto de vista dos interesses mais profundos da classe trabalhadora, esse momento se apresenta com um caráter fortemente contra-revolucionário. O resgate sólido da teoria revolucionária, o que implica uma crítica das deformações teóricas e práticas passadas, é condição imprescindível para continuar a sustentar o projeto histórico comunista e, ao mesmo tempo, iluminar os caminhos do futuro. Como a educação pode contribuir para isso? É sobre isso que pretendemos refletir nesse texto.

A SEE vem mantendo, desde 1983, portanto, há mais de vinte e cinco anos, o construtivismo como discurso pedagógico oficial e, ao mesmo tempo, como um dos pilares para a formatação de um modelo de escola em sintonia com as injunções neoliberais e pós-modernas por meio de dispositivos legais, produção e circulação de materiais distribuídos à rede de ensino. Esses mecanismos funcionam como interventores sobre a prática pedagógica e veiculam valores, teorias e ideologias, trazendo implicações que podem ser observadas no precário desempenho do alunado nos diferentes instrumentos de avaliação de aprendizagem. Assim, o percurso dessas publicações nos últimos 25 anos deve servir à análise das políticas públicas para a educação paulista e se prestar à denúncia das conseqüências da opção teórico-pedagógica da SEE: formação de baixa qualidade limitada à reprodução da divisão social do trabalho.
OS FUNDAMENTOS PSICOLÓGICOS DA PEDAGOGIA HISTÓRICO-CRÍTICA E OS FUNDAMENTOS PEDAGÓGICOS DA PSICOLOGIA HISTÓRICO-CULTURAL
Authors: Martins Ligia Marcia
Published: January 2019

Esse artigo visa a apresentar a unidade teórico-metodológica existente entre a pedagogia histórico-crítica e a psicologia histórico-cultural. Coloca em destaque, para além da afiliação de ambas as teorias ao materialismo histórico-dialético, as premissas básicas que apontam na direção da afirmação da educação escolar como condição de humanização dos indivíduos, bem como a transmissão dos conhecimentos historicamente sistematizados como uma das exigências para a consecução dessa finalidade. Nessa direção, visamos demonstrar que a pedagogia histórico-crítica contém, em sua interioridade, um sólido fundamento psicológico, coerentemente edificado por uma concepção histórico- cultural de homem, de sociedade e da natureza educativa que pauta a relação entre ambos por meio da atividade vital humana, isto é, por meio do trabalho. É no bojo desses fundamentos que a aliança entre essa teoria pedagógica e a psicologia histórico-cultural se evidencia.

TRABALHO E SUBJETIVIDADE NA “NOVA” CONFIGURAÇÃO LABORAL: QUEM PAGA A CONTA?
Authors: Heloani Roberto , Piolli Evaldo
Published: January 2019

O texto apresenta uma análise geral sobre a nova configuração do trabalho ao mesmo tempo em que discute suas implicações à saúde e à subjetividade dos trabalhadores. Na primeira parte analisamos o desenvolvimento das organizações e o desenvolvimento do aparato administrativo e burocrático destacando sua função mediadora e produtora de ideologia. Sob a lógica da reprodução ampliada do capital a teoria da administração produz eficientes resignificações em relação ao trabalho e novas formas de controle, submissão e disciplinamento. Discute a atual conformação do trabalho sob o arranjo pós- fordista, o qual pressupõe esquemas flexíveis que requisitam o envolvimento subjetivo do trabalhador elevando sua visibilidade e maior responsabilização pelos resultados e metas. Analisa a concepção ideológica produzida no âmbito das organizações centrada no desempenho individual e sua consequência para a saúde mental daqueles que vivem do seu trabalho.

A EDUCAÇÃO EM MÉSZÀROS: TRABALHO, ALIENAÇÃO E EMANCIPAÇÃO
Authors: Cherobini Demetrio
Published: January 2019

István Mészáros é um autor que há muitos anos se dedica a uma tarefa imprescindível: utilizar o ferramental teórico criado por Marx para compreender a sociedade do capital e, com base nisso, fornecer elementos para a elaboração de uma estratégia capaz de revolucionar o atual modo de controle do metabolismo social. Seu intento fundamental é bastante claro e visível em todos os seus escritos: envidar esforços para a realização da comunidade de homens e mulheres verdadeiramente emancipados, comunismo, e evitar assim que a barbárie capitalista comprometa o futuro da humanidade. Mas apesar de o filósofo húngaro possuir uma vasta e reconhecida produção intelectual e escrever há pelo menos seis décadas, são poucos os estudos sistemáticos sobre o seu pensamento. Nesse sentido, a obra do professor Caio Antunes, A educação em Mészáros: trabalho, alienação e emancipação, vem ajudar a suprimir essa lacuna, trazendo uma importante contribuição para todos os que no Brasil se interessam pelas questões que envolvem a relação entre educação e revolução. 
SOBRE A NATUREZA E ESPECIFICIDADE DA EDUCAÇÃO
Authors: Saviani Dermeval
Published: January 2019

Sabe-se que a educação é um fenômeno próprio dos seres humanos. Assim sendo, a compreensão da natureza da educação passa pela compreensão da natureza humana. Ora, o que diferencia os homens dos demais fenômenos, o que o diferencia dos demais seres vivos, o que o diferencia dos outros animais? A resposta a essas questões também já é conhecida. Com efeito, sabe-se que, diferentemente dos outros animais, que se adaptam à realidade natural tendo a sua existência garantida naturalmente, o homem necessita produzir continuamente sua própria existência. Para tanto, em lugar de se adaptar à natureza, ele tem que adaptar a natureza a si, isto é, transformá-la. E isto é feito pelo trabalho. Portanto, o que diferencia o homem dos outros animais é o trabalho. E o trabalho se instaura a partir do momento em que seu agente antecipa mentalmente a finalidade da ação. Conseqüentemente, o trabalho não é qualquer tipo da atividade, mas uma ação adequada a finalidades. É, pois, uma ação intencional.

Cancer Core Europe is a European legal alliance consisting of seven leading cancer centres – most of them Comprehensive Cancer Centres (CCCs) – with a single portal system to engage in various research projects with partners. Cancer Core Europe was established to create a sustainable, high‐level, shared research infrastructure platform hosting research collaborations and task forces (data sharing, clinical trials, genomics, immunotherapy, imaging, education and training, and legal and ethical issues), with a controlled expansion agenda. Translational cancer research covers the cancer research continuum from basic to preclinical to early clinical, late clinical, and outcomes research. Basic–preclinical research serves as the ‘engine’ for early clinical research by bridging the early translational research gap and is the primary and current focus of the consortium as exemplified by the launching of the Basket of Baskets trial, Europe's largest precision cancer medicine trial. Inspired by the creation of Cancer Core Europe, the prevention community established Cancer Prevention Europe, a consortium of ten cancer prevention centres aimed at supporting the complete prevention research continuum. Presently, Cancer Core Europe and Cancer Prevention Europe are integrating therapeutics and prevention strategies to address in partnership the widening cancer problem. By providing innovative approaches for cancer research, links to healthcare systems, development of quality‐assured multidisciplinary cancer care, and assessment of long‐term outcomes, the virtual infrastructure will serve as a hub to connect and interact with other centres across Europe and beyond. Together, Cancer Core Europe and Cancer Prevention Europe are prepared to function as a central engine to tackle, in collaboration with various partners, a potential ‘mission on cancer’ addressing the cancer burden.

In many countries, a majority of cancer patients are not treated at comprehensive cancer centers. Even for those that are, parts of the treatment or follow‐up may be carried out in local community hospitals or in private practices. How to assure quality in cancer care and create innovation? How to integrate decentralized versus centralized patient care, education, and cancer research? Outlined here is a 360° view of outreach to include all stakeholders—most importantly patients and their families, patient advocacy groups, healthcare providers, health insurers, and policymakers.
Enhancing the Photoelectric Performance of Photodetectors Based on Metal Oxide Semiconductors by Charge‐Carrier Engineering
Authors: Ouyang Weixin , Teng Feng , He Jr‐Hau , Fang Xiaosheng
Published: January 2019

Semiconductor‐based photodetectors (PDs) convert light signals into electrical signals via the photoelectric effect, which involves the generation, separation, and transportation of the photoinduced charge carriers, as well as the extraction of these charge carriers to external circuits. Because of their specific electronic and optoelectronic properties, metal oxide semiconductors are widely used building blocks in photoelectric devices. However, the compromise between enhancing the photoresponse and reducing the rise/decay times limits the practical applications of PDs based on metal oxide semiconductors. As the behaviors of the charge carriers play important roles in the photoelectric conversion process of these PDs, researchers have proposed several strategies, including modification of light absorption, design of novel PD heterostructures, construction of specific geometries, and adoption of specific electrode configurations to modulate the charge‐carrier behaviors and improve the photoelectric performance of related PDs. This review aims to introduce and summarize the latest researches on enhancing the photoelectric performance of PDs based on metal oxide semiconductors via charge‐carrier engineering, and proposes possible opportunities and directions for the future developments of these PDs in the last section.
Macrophage and Fibroblast Interactions in Biomaterial‐Mediated Fibrosis

Published: January 2019

Biomaterial‐mediated inflammation and fibrosis remain a prominent challenge in designing materials to support tissue repair and regeneration. Despite the many biomaterial technologies that have been designed to evade or suppress inflammation (i.e., delivery of anti‐inflammatory drugs, hydrophobic coatings, etc.), many materials are still subject to a foreign body response, resulting in encapsulation of dense, scar‐like extracellular matrix. The primary cells involved in biomaterial‐mediated fibrosis are macrophages, which modulate inflammation, and fibroblasts, which primarily lay down new extracellular matrix. While macrophages and fibroblasts are implicated in driving biomaterial‐mediated fibrosis, the signaling pathways and spatiotemporal crosstalk between these cell types remain loosely defined. In this review, the role of M1 and M2 macrophages (and soluble cues) involved in the fibrous encapsulation of biomaterials in vivo is investigated, with additional focus on fibroblast and macrophage crosstalk in vitro along with in vitro models to study the foreign body response. Lastly, several strategies that have been used to specifically modulate macrophage and fibroblast behavior in vitro and in vivo to control biomaterial‐mediated fibrosis are highlighted.

High mobility ambipolar conjugated polymers are seriously absent regardless their great potential for flexible and printed plastic devices and circuits. Here, ambipolar polymers with ultrahigh balanced hole and electron mobility are developed via a two‐step CH activation strategy. Diketopyrrolopyrrole‐benzothiadiazole‐diketopyrrolopyrrole (DBD) and its copolymers with thiophene/selenophene units (short as PDBD‐T and PDBD‐Se) are used as examples. PDBD‐Se exhibits highly efficient ambipolar transport with hole and electron mobility up to 8.90 and 7.71 cm2 V−1 s−1 in flexible organic field‐effect transistors, presenting a milestone for ambipolar copolymer screening. Based on this performance metrics and good solubility, PDBD‐Se is investigated as inkjet‐printable semiconductor ink for organic complementary logic circuits. Under ambient processing, maximum hole and electron mobilities reach 6.70 and 4.30 cm2 V−1 s−1, respectively. Printed complementary inverter and NAND gates with transition voltages near VDD/2 are fabricated, providing an easy‐handling, general material for printed electronics and logic.
