Year: 2022

description: Deliverable D7.3, namely “BC Models and Adaptation Strategies assessment report”, documents the work undertaken in Task 7.2 “Assessing Business Continuity Models and Adaptation Strategies”. Five Business Continuity Strategies (BCSs) are proposed that aim to enable the critical processes of Cultural Heritage (CH) communities to continue operating at least to the minimum needed extent, when those are exposed to Climate Change (CC) or non-CC aggravated hazards severely impacting their critical infrastructure and/or supply chains. Initially, a brief literature review is undertaken on state-of-the-art aspects that are relevant to business resilience as well as to key Business Continuity Plan (BCP) elements. Thereafter, a detailed description of each of the considered BCS is given, along with the relevant advantages and limitations. The first BCS, namely the “donothing” strategy, corresponds to the absence of comprehensive risk mitigation planning and is used herein as a benchmark for assessing the performance of the other four strategies. The second BCS involves “reciprocal agreements”, which are deemed to be mutual actions signed between local businesses of similar size that operate within the same sectors to allow for a resilience load balancing. Suitable for servicebased businesses, the third BCS is related to a “work-from-home” framework and essentially involves the orientation of several employees to work from their own premises. On the other hand, the fourth BCS, namely “business traffic redistribution” strategy, is more suitable for large organizations operating on a series of interchangeable physical assets, which can satisfy increased demand requests if needed. The fifth BCS is the insurance, a strategy that is always recommended for risk mitigation as it can reduce both the indirect and the direct losses of a disaster. Two insurance approaches are discussed in this deliverable, these being the “traditional indemnity” and the “innovative parametric” insurance. Finally, the deliverable deals with the development of several methods to integrate the aforementioned BCSs in the context of the socioeconomic tool that was developed before in Task 5.5. Through this process, the effect of each BCS to the production capacity of a business sector is demonstrated by realizing several hypothetical disaster scenarios in two HYPERION pilot sites, i.e., the city of Rhodes and the city of Tønsberg. Based on the estimated indirect losses that are predicted for these scenarios per pilot site by means of the socioeconomic analyses, a number of general yet informed guidelines are given for the application of the BCSs on either product- or service-based business sectors.

description: AZD7442 (Evusheld) is a combination of two human anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), tixagevimab (AZD8895) and cilgavimab (AZD1061). Route of administration is an important consideration to improve treatment access. We assessed pharmacokinetics (PKs) of AZD7442 absorption following 600 mg administered intramuscularly (i.m.) in the thigh compared with 300 mg intravenously (i.v.) in ambulatory adults with symptomatic COVID-19. PK analysis included 84 of 110 participants randomized to receive i.m. AZD7442 and 16 of 61 randomized to receive i.v. AZD7442. Serum was collected prior to AZD7442 administration and at 24 hours and 3, 7, and 14 days later. PK parameters were calculated using noncompartmental methods. Following 600 mg i.m., the geometric mean maximum concentration (Cmax) was 38.19 μg/mL (range: 17.30–60.80) and 37.33 μg/mL (range: 14.90–58.90) for tixagevimab and cilgavimab, respectively. Median observed time to maximum concentration (Tmax) was 7.1 and 7.0 days for tixagevimab and cilgavimab, respectively. Serum concentrations after i.m. dosing were similar to the i.v. dose (27–29 μg/mL each component) at 3 days. The area under the concentration-time curve (AUC)0–7d geometric mean ratio was 0.9 for i.m. vs. i.v. Participants with higher weight or body mass index were more likely to have lower concentrations with either route. Women appeared to have higher interparticipant variability in concentrations compared with men. The concentrations of tixagevimab and cilgavimab after administration i.m. to the thigh were similar to those achieved with i.v. after 3 days from dosing. Exposure in the i.m. group was 90% of i.v. over 7 days. Administration to the thigh can be considered to provide consistent mAb exposure and improve access.
D7.4 Standard Response Procedures Document

description: Deliverable D7.4, namely “Standard Response Procedures Document”, documents the work undertaken in Task 7.3 “Assessing response actions and establishing Standard Response Procedures”. A comprehensive methodology to assess the impact of different Standard Response Procedures is proposed, aiming to assist local/regional authorities and external actors during risk mitigation planning and decision-making and ultimately to enhance the organizational and economic resilience of Cultural Heritage (CH) communities under various hazards. These response actions can be a part of the Community Emergency Plan of the CH society, which corresponds to the actions undertaken by the involved agencies to mitigate the immediate aftermaths of a disaster, such as management and deployment of first responders or early warning and information of citizens atrisk. However, such actions are typically designed and managed by the pertinent civil protection mechanisms, which are capable of discerning the actual needs and weaknesses of the community under crisis. On the other hand, this deliverable focuses on the post-disaster restoration process of a CH community from an economic point of view, by defining a hierarchy of criticalities according to which an optimal funding prioritization strategy can be derived. To accomplish this, an eventagnostic Funding Prioritization Analysis (FPA) is proposed, which is discretized into a series of hypothetical “what-if” scenarios named Sector Shutdown Analyses (SSAs). Each SSA comprises the reduction of the production capacity of a selected business sector by a certain magnitude (e.g., by 50%) and a certain time duration (e.g., three months), while the rest business sectors are assumed to be fully operational in terms of facility and infrastructure disruptions. Consequently, the socioeconomic model developed in Task 5.5 and integrated into the Holistic Risk Assessment Platform (HRAP) engine of HYPERION is employed to derive the estimated total indirect losses of the community for each SSA. Finally, based on these total community losses, the involved agencies can derive the aforementioned hierarchy of criticalities and use it to settle an objective fund prioritization strategy. The key steps of the proposed FPA are showcased in the socioeconomic model of the city of Rhodes by assuming three levels of Business Continuity Strategy (BCS) exploitation for each critical business sector, to highlight the effect of the BCSs to the robustness and rapidity of the entire CH community.

description: Rationale: The incidence and sites of mucus accumulation, and molecular regulation of mucin gene expression, in COVID-19 lung disease have not been reported. Objectives: Characterize incidence of mucus accumulation and the mechanisms mediating mucin hypersecretion in COVID-19 lung disease. Methods: Airway mucus and mucins were evaluated in COVID-19 autopsy lungs by AB-PAS and immunohistochemical staining, RNA in situ hybridization, and spatial transcriptional profiling. SARS-CoV-2-infected human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cultures were utilized to investigate mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2-induced mucin expression and synthesis and test candidate countermeasures. Measurements and Main Results: MUC5B and variably MUC5AC RNA levels were increased throughout all airway regions of COVID-19 autopsy lungs, notably in the sub-acute/chronic disease phase following SARS-CoV-2 clearance. In the distal lung, MUC5B-dominated mucus plugging was observed in 90% of COVID-19 subjects in both morphologically identified bronchioles and microcysts, and MUC5B accumulated in damaged alveolar spaces. SARS-CoV-2-infected HBE cultures exhibited peak titers 3 days post inoculation, whereas induction of MUC5B/MUC5AC peaked 7-14 days post inoculation. SARS-CoV-2 infection of HBE cultures induced expression of EGFR ligands and inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-1α/β) associated with mucin gene regulation. Inhibiting EGFR/IL-1R pathways, or dexamethasone administration, reduced SARS-CoV-2-induced mucin expression. Conclusions: SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with a high prevalence of distal airspace mucus accumulation and increased MUC5B expression in COVID-19 autopsy lungs. HBE culture studies identified roles for EGFR and IL-1R signaling in mucin gene regulation post SARS-CoV-2 infection. These data suggest that time-sensitive mucolytic agents, specific pathway inhibitors, or corticosteroid administration may be therapeutic for COVID-19 lung disease.

description: This paper investigates how economic policy uncertainty affects firms’ frequency and their choice of financial instruments to raise capital. By applying a three-step sequential framework over a sample of 6834 publicly listed US non-financial firms, we find that during periods of high economic uncertainty, firms raise capital more frequently with a preference toward debt financing. The empirical findings suggest that firms prefer debt financing over equity financing to avoid ownership dilution and high equity premia. The rise in leverage during periods of high economic uncertainty highlights the importance of scrutinizing policy tools used to stabilize the economy during such times.

description: A subset of individuals who recover from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) develop post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC), but the mechanistic basis of PASC-associated lung abnormalities suffers from a lack of longitudinal tissue samples. The mouse-adapted severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strain MA10 produces an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in mice similar to humans. To investigate PASC pathogenesis, studies of MA10-infected mice were extended from acute to clinical recovery phases. At 15 to 120 days post-virus clearance, pulmonary histologic findings included subpleural lesions composed of collagen, proliferative fibroblasts, and chronic inflammation, including tertiary lymphoid structures. Longitudinal spatial transcriptional profiling identified global reparative and fibrotic pathways dysregulated in diseased regions, similar to human COVID-19. Populations of alveolar intermediate cells, coupled with focal up-regulation of pro-fibrotic markers, were identified in persistently diseased regions. Early intervention with antiviral EIDD-2801 reduced chronic disease, and early anti-fibrotic agent (nintedanib) intervention modified early disease severity. This murine model provides opportunities to identify pathways associated with persistent SARS-CoV-2 pulmonary disease and test countermeasures to ameliorate PASC., After recovery from acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, mice exhibit chronic lung disease similar to some humans, allowing for testing of therapeutics.
title: A proposal for the establishment of Hellenic Theatre in Education (TiE): possibilities and problems in developing aspects of the British TiE experience in Greece towards the provision of professional theatre with an educational purpose in pre-school and primary education.

description: This thesis attempts to identify the potential of establishing Theatre in Education, a professional theatre work with an educational purpose, as an effective medium for children in pre-school and primary education in Greece. It examines the possibilities and problems inherent in this potential given the current circumstances in theatre, education and the wider social context of contemporary Greece. Original data was gathered using survey questionnaires, interviews and through observation of Greek children's theatre productions and British TiE programmes. This research study extracts lessons from the British experience towards the introduction of Hellenic TiE by overviewing the political factors that affected the British TiE medium in its short history. It investigates how Theatre Education is practiced in Greek schools; if the current children's theatre practice in Greece is developing aspects of TiE; how these aspects could develop into something closer to TiE; and how Hellenic TiE could contribute to the provision of professional theatre experiences in education. The present research study offers a pragmatic approach to the emergence of Hellenic TiE. The nature of Hellenic TiE is envisaged and defined as something that borrows elements from the British TiE previous and more recent practice and combines both British and Greek theatre elements. This thesis concludes with a proposal addressed to theatre practitioners and theatre companies in Greece who might want to initiate TiE, where it discusses the politics of introducing TiE to Greece and a series of problematics that the emerging TiE teams would need to cope. It envisages how TiE is happening in Greece by arguing for the learning potential of the TiE medium and proposes solutions to some problems for the establishment of Greek TiE companies. Practical recommendations are finally made for the implementation of a pilot TiE programme within regional public theatres (DHPETHE) and private companies in both the immediate term and the long-term perspective.

description: In this paper, we report a method of intuitively transmitting symbolic information to untrained users via only their hands without using any visual or auditory cues. Our simple concept is presenting three-dimensional letter trajectories to the user's hand via a stylus which is mechanically manipulated. By this simple method, in our experiments, participants were able to read 14 mm-high lower-case letters displayed at a rate of one letter per second with an accuracy rate of 71.9% in their first trials, which was improved to 91.3% after a five-minute training period. These results showed small individual differences among participants (standard deviation of 12.7% in the first trials and 6.7% after training). We also found that this accuracy was still retained to a high level (85.1% with SD of 8.2%) even when the letters were reduced to a height of 7 mm. Thus, we revealed that sighted adults potentially possess the ability to read small letters accurately at normal writing speed using their hands.

On absorption in semigroups and $n$-ary semigroups

Subjects: subject: Logic in Computer Science (cs.LO)

description: The notion of absorption was developed a few years ago by Barto and Kozik and immediately found many applications, particularly in topics related to the constraint satisfaction problem. We investigate the behavior of absorption in semigroups and n-ary semigroups (that is, algebras with one n-ary associative operation). In the case of semigroups, we give a simple necessary and sufficient condition for a semigroup to be absorbed by its subsemigroup. We then proceed to n-ary semigroups, where we conjecture an analogue of this necessary and sufficient condition, and prove that the conjectured condition is indeed necessary and sufficient for B to absorb A (where A is an n-ary semigroup and B is its n-ary subsemigroup) in the following three cases: when A is commutative, when |A-B|=1 and when A is an idempotent ternary semigroup.

description: This deliverable is about the documentation of Hyperion Communities’ Engagement ICT Tool. This tool is based on PLUGGY’s Social platform, an open source platform specializing on the preservation and promotion of everyday all-around heritage, using crowd-sourced techniques. Hyperion has taken advantage of PLUGGY platform so as to engage citizens, local communities and business owners in reporting damages concerning cultural heritage sites. More specifically, the Hyperion Communities’ Engagement Tool enables citizens to create stories about the deterioration of CH sites and business interruptions. A userfriendly web–based interface has been developed for the innovative presentation of stories to users in order for them to experience the content and better understand the changes imposed by climate change and extreme events concerning the monuments and the operation of businesses. In addition to that, a dedicated mobile application, named Hyperion App and designed for Android devices, has been developed in order to provide a more direct and easy to use everyday tool that local communities and citizens can use on their smartphones. The integration of the web-based tool and the Hyperion mobile application with the PLUGGY Authorization services, the APIs of the tool that expose the relevant content to HRAP, and the available functionalities are all included in this Deliverable. Moreover, the architecture, the relevant components and the technology that has been used are described in a separate chapter so as to showcase the integration of the Communities’ Engagement Tool with HRAP platform and PLUGGY.
Heart of Darkness: dust obscuration of the central stellar component in globular clusters younger than ~100Myr in multiple stellar population models

description: To explain the observed anomalies in stellar populations within globular clusters, many globular cluster formation theories require two independent episodes of star formation. A fundamental prediction of these models is that the clusters must accumulate large gas reservoirs as the raw material to form the second stellar generation. We show that young clusters containing the required gas reservoir should exhibit the following observational signatures: (i) a dip in the measured luminosity profile or an increase in measured reddening towards the cluster centre, with Av >10mag within a radius of a few pc; (ii) bright (sub)mm emission from dust grains; (iii) bright molecular line emission once the gas is dense enough to begin forming stars. Unless the IMF is anomalously skewed towards low-mass stars, the clusters should also show obvious signs of star formation via optical emission lines (e.g. H_alpha) after the stars have formed. These observational signatures should be readily observable towards any compact clusters (radii of a few pc) in the nearby Universe with masses > 10^6 Msun and ages <100Myr. This provides a straightforward way to directly test globular cluster formation models which predict large gas reservoirs are required to form the second stellar generation. The fact that no such observational evidence exists calls into question whether such a mechanism happens regularly for YMCs in galaxies within a few tens of Mpc.

Proposal to Observe Transverse Sound in Normal Liquid $^3$He in Aerogel

Subjects: subject: Other Condensed Matter (cond-mat.other)

description: In the Fermi liquid metallic state, a static local magnetic moment is induced on the application of a circularly polarized electromagnetic wave, via the inverse Fara-day effect (IFE). The direction of this moment is along the direction of propagation of light, and the magnitude of the moment depends on the frequency of light, the temperature and various material parameters characteristic of the metal. I propose an analogous effect in the Fermi liquid state of $^3$H. A static circulating current is induced when liquid $^3$H is driven by a circularly polarized transverse acoustic wave. For liquid $^3$H filled into aerogel, the coupled system supports a low-attenuation transverse sound mode. I estimate the magnitude of induced circulating currents for this system and find that these are within the range of experimental measurement in the low-attenuation regime. The axis of circulation is along the direction of propagation of the acoustic wave. I propose this analogue of the inverse Faraday effect as a scheme to experimentally demonstrate the propagation of transverse sound in $^3$H-aerogel.

description: Spin noise spectroscopy (SNS) is a new method for studying magnetic resonance and spin dynamics based on measuring the Faraday rotation noise. In strong contrast with methods of nonlinear optics, the spectroscopy of spin noise is considered to be essentially nonperturbative. Presently, however, it became clear that the SNS, as an optical technique, demonstrates properties lying far beyond the bounds of conventional linear optics. Specifically, the SNS shows dependence of the signal on the light power density, makes it possible to penetrate inside an inhomogeneously broadened absorption band and to determine its homogeneous width, allows one to realize an effective pump-probe spectroscopy without any optical nonlinearity, etc. This may seem especially puzzling when taken into account that SNS can be considered just as a version of Raman spectroscopy, which is known to be deprived of such abilities. In this paper, we clarify this apparent inconsistency.

In particular, MHVMs are software and data libraries with a standardizable format that encode the results of structural vulnerability assessment and enable a seamless integration of hazard simulators, structural analysis and consequence models into the HRAP model of CH and non-CH assets for each case-study city (Granada, Rhodes, Tønsberg, Venice). The assets are classified in Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 categories, depending on the modelling and monitoring resolution. For Tier 1, structure-specific models are developed and asset-specific fragility and consequence functions are used, while sensors are also employed to connect the model with reality. For the inventory in Tier 2, only important CH and non-CH assets are considered, typically to the same level of detail as Tier 1, but without any sensor input. For Tier 3, a generic model is provided and only a limited number of characteristic “index” assets that better represent the entire class are selected and generic fragility and consequence functions are employed for risk assessment. All potential hazards of importance to each asset are taken into account. The entire range of physical and weather stressors is applied to the structural models to assess the assets’ response and the associated damage. The results are encoded into the MHVM that describes each structure (Tier 1,2) or category of structures (Tier 3). In this way, the rehabilitation/emergency action planning is firmly supported by the assessment of vulnerability, loss and downtime.

description: Attributes act as intermediate representations that enable parameter sharing between classes, a must when training data is scarce. We propose to view attribute-based image classification as a label-embedding problem: each class is embedded in the space of attribute vectors. We introduce a function that measures the compatibility between an image and a label embedding. The parameters of this function are learned on a training set of labeled samples to ensure that, given an image, the correct classes rank higher than the incorrect ones. Results on the Animals With Attributes and Caltech-UCSD-Birds datasets show that the proposed framework outperforms the standard Direct Attribute Prediction baseline in a zero-shot learning scenario. Label embedding enjoys a built-in ability to leverage alternative sources of information instead of or in addition to attributes, such as e.g. class hierarchies or textual descriptions. Moreover, label embedding encompasses the whole range of learning settings from zero-shot learning to regular learning with a large number of labeled examples.

description: In this paper, we extensively investigate the new algorithm known as the multi-step BCFW recursion relations. Many interesting mathematical properties are found and understanding these aspects, one can find a systematic way to complete the calculation of amplitude after finite, definite steps and get the correct answer, without recourse to any specific knowledge from field theories, besides mass dimension and helicities. This process consists of the pole concentration and inconsistency elimination. Terms that survive inconsistency elimination cannot be determined by the new algorithm. They include polynomials and their generalizations, which turn out to be useful objects to be explored. Afterwards, we apply it to the Standard Model plus gravity to illustrate its power and limitation. Ensuring its workability, we also tentatively discuss how to improve its efficiency by reducing the steps.

description: Extended working hours, a complicated workplace environment, and engagement in numerous physical and psychological stressors have been associated with the stressful nature of the nursing profession. Only a few studies have provided some insight into workplace stress and coping strategies adopted by nurses in Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries. Therefore, this study utilized a mixed-method design to explore the numerous factors that lead to stress among emergency nurses, their experience and perception of stress, and the coping mechanisms they find useful. A survey containing four domains and 86 items was adapted, pilot tested, and validated. The quantitative phase recruited 296 nurses who returned completed questionnaires, and then 21 nurses were interviewed for the qualitative phase. In total, 89.5% (n = 265) of the participants were female, 51% (n = 151) were aged 20–29 years, 83% (n = 246) were non-Saudi nationals, 49% (n = 145) were married, and 82% (n = 245) had a bachelor’s degree. The most common causes of occupational stress were work overload, personnel shortages, and inadequate pay. The qualitative phase data revealed five primary themes, including increased workload, rising living costs despite equal compensation, and staff shortages as main stressors. In addition, the study found that praying and spending quality time with friends are the primary coping techniques among nurses. The study results contribute to a better understanding of nurses’ working conditions in the emergency department. Additionally, they may contribute to the development of policies and practice reforms to improve Saudi nurses’ well-being, health, and overall work experience.

description: Supernova remnants (SNRs) carry vast amounts of mechanical and radiative energy that heavily influence the structural, dynamical, and chemical evolution of galaxies. To this day, more than 300 SNRs have been discovered in the Milky Way, exhibiting a wide variety of observational features. However, existing classification schemes are mainly based on their radio morphology. In this work, we introduce a novel unsupervised deep learning pipeline to analyse a representative subsample of the Galactic SNR population ($\sim$ 50% of the total) with the aim of finding a connection between their multi-wavelength features and their physical properties. The pipeline involves two stages: (1) a representation learning stage, consisting of a convolutional autoencoder that feeds on imagery from infrared and radio continuum surveys (WISE 22$μ$m, Hi-GAL 70 $μ$m and SMGPS 30 cm) and produces a compact representation in a lower-dimensionality latent space; and (2) a clustering stage that seeks meaningful clusters in the latent space that can be linked to the physical properties of the SNRs and their surroundings. Our results suggest that this approach, when combined with an intermediate uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP) reprojection of the autoencoded embeddings into a more clusterable manifold, enables us to find reliable clusters. Despite a large number of sources being classified as outliers, most clusters relate to the presence of distinctive features, such as the distribution of infrared emission, the presence of radio shells and pulsar wind nebulae, and the existence of dust filaments.

description: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes a range of symptoms in infected individuals, from mild respiratory illness to acute respiratory distress syndrome. A systematic understanding of host factors influencing viral infection is critical to elucidate SARS-CoV-2–host interactions and the progression of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Here, we conducted genome-wide CRISPR knockout and activation screens in human lung epithelial cells with endogenous expression of the SARS-CoV-2 entry factors ACE2 and TMPRSS2. We uncovered proviral and antiviral factors across highly interconnected host pathways, including clathrin transport, inflammatory signaling, cell-cycle regulation, and transcriptional and epigenetic regulation. We further identified mucins, a family of high molecular weight glycoproteins, as a prominent viral restriction network that inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro and in murine models. These mucins also inhibit infection of diverse respiratory viruses. This functional landscape of SARS-CoV-2 host factors provides a physiologically relevant starting point for new host-directed therapeutics and highlights airway mucins as a host defense mechanism.

description: 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q.11.2DS) might be one of the strongest genetic risk factors for psychosis, but robust estimates of prevalence and incidence of psychotic disorders in this condition are not available. To address this gap, we performed a multistep systematic PRISMA/MOOSE-compliant literature search of articles reporting prevalence (primary outcome) or incidence (secondary outcome) of psychotic disorders in 22q11.2DS samples (protocol: https://osf.io/w6hpg) using random-effects meta-analysis, subgroup analyses and meta-regressions. The pooled prevalence of psychotic disorders was 11.50% (95%CI:9.40–14.00%), largely schizophrenia (9.70%, 95%CI:6.50–14.20). Prevalence was significantly higher in samples with a mean age over 18 years, with both psychiatric and non-psychiatric comorbidities and recruited from healthcare services (compared to the community). Mean age was also significantly positively associated with prevalence in meta-regressions (p < 0.01). The pooled incidence of psychotic disorders was 10.60% (95%CI:6.60%-16.70%) at a mean follow-up time of 59.27 ± 40.55 months; meta-regressions were not significant. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of the prevalence and incidence of psychotic disorders in 22q11.2DS individuals. It demonstrates that around one in ten individuals with 22q11.2DS displays comorbid psychotic disorders, and around one in ten will develop psychosis in the following five years, indicating that preventive approaches should be implemented systematically in 22q11.2DS.
