description: Questa ricerca analizza le implicazioni derivanti dall’introduzione della procedura di co-decisione come procedura legislativa ordinaria nel processo di riforma della politica agricola comune. La diversa distribuzione dei poteri tra le istituzioni europee modifica gli assetti istituzionali e fornisce al Parlamento il ruolo di colegislatore in materia agricola. La forma assunta dalla nuova politica agricola europea scaturisce dalla configurazione dei poteri di contrattazione che ciascun attore ha mostrato nella sede dei triloghi negoziali. La ricerca tenta di verificare la accuratezza predittiva di diversi modelli di contrattazione legislativa attraverso il confronto e la verifica degli errori di predizione sui risultati finali di alcune questioni salienti della riforma della Politica Agricola Comune e allo stesso tempo, cerca di identificare il peso del potere del Parlamento europeo in veste di co-legislatore nel processo di riforma della PAC post-2013.
description: This research analyzes the implications of the introduction of the codecision procedure as the ordinary legislative procedure in the process Common Agricultural Policy  reform. The different distribution of powers between the European institutions modified the institutional structure and give to the European Parliament the role of colegislator in agricultural matters. The form taken by the new European agricultural policy derives from the configuration of the bargaining power that each actor has shown in the seat of the trialogue negotiations. The research attempts to verify the predictive accuracy of different models of legislative bargaining through the comparison and verification of prediction errors on the final results of some salient issues  emerged during the Common Agricultural Policy reform process, and at the same time, try to identify the weight of the power of European Parliament as colegislator in the of CAP reform process post-2013.

description: Globally, residential fires constitute a substantial public health problem, causing major fire-related injury morbidity and mortality. This review examined the literature on residential fire prevention interventions relevant to Indigenous communities and assess their effectiveness on mitigating fire incidents and their associated human and economic burden. This review reveals the dearth of fire prevention evidence gathered directly within Indigenous communities. Nonetheless, relevant fire prevention recommendations can be made, calling for the adoption of combined and context-sensitive fire prevention interventions tailored to targeted Indigenous and vulnerable communities through multiple approaches and measures. Follow-ups and longitudinal studies are critical for accurate evaluation of the long-term outcomes and impacts on preventing residential fires.
Atmospheric plasma processes for microbial inactivation: food applications and stress response in Listeria monocytogenes

Subjects: AGR/16 Microbiologia agraria

description: This PhD thesis is focused on cold atmospheric plasma treatments (GP) for microbial inactivation in food applications. In fact GP represents a promising emerging technology alternative to the traditional methods for the decontamination of foods.
The objectives of this work were to evaluate:
-	the effects of GP treatments on microbial inactivation in model systems and in real foods;
-	the stress response in L. monocytogenes following exposure to different GP treatments.
As far as the first aspect, inactivation curves were obtained for some target pathogens, i.e. Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli, by exposing microbial cells to GP generated with two different DBD equipments and processing conditions (exposure time, material of the electrodes). Concerning food applications, the effects of different GP treatments on the inactivation of natural microflora and Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Enteritidis and Escherichia coli on the surface of Fuji apples, soya sprouts and black pepper were evaluated. In particular the efficacy of the exposure to gas plasma was assessed immediately after treatments and during storage. Moreover, also possible changes in quality parameters such as colour, pH, Aw, moisture content, oxidation, polyphenol-oxidase activity, antioxidant activity were investigated.
Since the lack of knowledge of cell targets of GP may limit its application, the possible mechanism of action of GP was studied against 2 strains of Listeria monocytogenes by evaluating modifications in the fatty acids of the cytoplasmic membrane (through GC/MS analysis) and metabolites detected by SPME-GC/MS and 1H-NMR analyses. Moreover, changes induced by different treatments on the expression of selected genes related to general stress response, virulence or to the metabolism were detected with Reverse Transcription-qPCR. In collaboration with the Scripps Research Institute (La Jolla, CA, USA) also proteomic profiles following gas plasma exposure were analysed through Multidimensional Protein Identification Technology (MudPIT) to evaluate possible changes in metabolic processes.

Even though actor-based frameworks such as Akka have been used by thousands of companies for over a decade, it is very difficult to configure cloud-based functional actor appli- cations in a way to minimize their response time and to utilize provisioned resources with the maximal efficacy at the computing distributed cloud cluster nodes where these applications are deployed. As a result, the performance-tuning process is ad-hoc, laborious, manual, tedious and very expensive. We developed a novel low-code approach for cross-layer opti- mization of actor-based distributed applications. In our method, runtime information is automatically collected and analyzed in parallel to the executing application using search-based genetic algorithms. These algorithms generate changes to the applica- tion design, which are automatically applied to regenerate the application while it continues to service clients’ requests. We applied our approach to automatically created distributed Akka applications demonstrating its effectiveness in finding an optimal configuration.

Year: 2022

description: The purpose of this paper is to share my experience, as a varsity rugby player, in seeking guidance and accurate and accessible concussion education and information through online web-based platforms after suffering multiple concussions. My experience is not unique; I am one of countless young adults who search the web for knowledge and information through online search engines for health-related advice. Young adults utilize the Internet for accurate and relevant health information, as the digital age has reshaped how one obtains relevant information to change their knowledge and behaviour. When my sports medicine physician informed me that I could not participate in rugby-related contact practices for six-months, I felt I needed more information on my brain’s recovery time following multiple concussions, and an explanation as to why I had to take so much time off to heal when physically I felt fine. Knowing that I would be missing provincial rugby tournaments and a tour to Ireland, I wanted to find answers beyond those provided by my healthcare provider. Throughout my search for information, I discovered a lot of information on concussions but I had troubles finding all the answers from one trusted and reputable source. In this commentary, I discuss my experience with concussions, how I used the internet to obtain credible information and what I found, how social media provided me with support, and why finding accurate concussion information is important for recovery.

description: Individuals with neurodegenerative conditions, such as Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, Dementia, and Multiple Sclerosis, often experience significant social isolation due to physical and cognitive limitations that hinder social participation. Social isolation can lead to loneliness and reduced quality of life. This scoping review aimed to map interventions designed to enhance social connectedness and mitigate these effects. Following Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review framework, key databases were searched. Inclusion criteria focused on interventions fostering social participation in adults with neurodegenerative conditions. Themes were identified through a narrative synthesis approach. A total of 1,038 articles were screened, with 37 meeting the inclusion criteria. Most interventions involved in-person group activities, with digital interventions representing a smaller area. The synthesis revealed three themes: intervention details, theoretical frameworks, and evaluations. These themes highlighted key components and theoretical foundations that informed interventions but also identified implementation challenges with accessibility and inclusivity for individuals with varied needs. The findings underscore the need for diverse, accessible interventions to foster social connectedness for individuals with neurodegenerative conditions. Future research should focus on refining intervention design to improve inclusivity, addressing barriers to enhance participation in both in-person and digital formats. Neurodegenerative conditions increase social isolation, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to enhance quality of life.In-person interventions support social participation but must be adaptable for diverse needs.Digital options offer accessible ways to maintain social ties for those with limited mobility.Rehabilitation should focus on scalable, inclusive interventions that overcome participation barriers across disease stages.

description: In 1965, poet Allen Ginsberg embarked on a journey across the United States, equipped with a state-of-the-art device: a portable Uher tape recorder. As Ginsberg traveled, he recorded impressions immediately into the tape recorder, wherever he was — in a car, a train, a bus — and later revised and shaped the recordings into poems. Through his experimentations he developed a new mode of poetics, which blended empirical observation and subjective interjections. This writing technique, which he called auto-poesy, was intended to re-create the unimpeded flow of the poet’s mind and incorporate component particulars of the landscapes through which he passed. Auto-poesy allowed Ginsberg to cast a net over the natural and manufactured environments he observed and effectively capture the crisis and contention of the period. The resultant 1972 collection, The Fall of America, features Ginsberg’s explorations of the relationship between poetry, politics, and the burgeoning field of eco-poetics.

Development of a Child-Centred Community-Based Participatory Research Approach to Injury Prevention
Creators: name: Bauer, Michelle E. E.
name: Pike, Ian, 1958-
Publisher: name: BMJ Publishing Group
Year: 2022

description: Background: Community-based participatory research (CBPR) approaches to injury prevention are conducted so as to foster inclusiveness and collaboration in research processes and settings. Despite the benefits of using CBPR approaches to represent voices in research that are typically marginalized, they are overwhelmingly used in collaborations with youth and adults. Developing a child-centred CBPR approach can serve the important purpose of fostering awareness for children’s voices and needs in injury prevention, and can help future researchers engage communities of children in a genuine and respectful way. Purpose: To develop a four-staged model of a child-centred CBPR approach to injury prevention and outline the development.

description: Background: Return to sports (RTS) is frequently considered an indicator of successful recovery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). However, despite the well-recognized health benefits of physical activity (PA), little is known about objectively measured PA in the 1 to 2 years after ACLR. Given that young female athletes have a high prevalence of ACLR and lower RTS rates as compared with their male counterparts, an in-depth examination of PA in this subgroup is warranted. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that female youth and young adults who have had ACLR in the previous 1 to 2 years would have less moderate or vigorous PA (MVPA) compared with healthy matched controls. We also hypothesized that the ACLR group would report lower levels of sports participation, patient-reported health outcomes, and physical function. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Participants included 51 female athletes with primary unilateral ACLR for a sports-related injury in the previous 1 to 2 years and 51 age- and sports-matched controls. Outcomes included objectively measured PA (GT3X accelerometers), previous and current sports participation and RTS, body mass index, Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), triple singleleg hop, and one-leg rise. Mean within-pair differences with 95% CIs were used to assess differences between groups across all outcomes. Multivariable linear regression (clustered by pair) was used to examine whether the ACLR group had less MVPA than did the age- and sports-matched control group, adjusting for total wear time, age, time since injury, and body mass index. Results: Median age was 17.8 years (range, 14.6-22.6 years). There was no significant difference between groups in MVPA. However, the injury group had fewer mean minutes per day of vigorous PA (–1.22; 95% CI, –2.40 to –0.04), poorer KOOS values on all subscales, and shorter triple single-leg hop distance. In the injury group, 28 (55%) returned to sports, including 14 (27.5%) who returned at preinjury performance level. Across both groups, over one-third changed their most important sport, shifting toward an individual-based sport. Conclusion: At 1 to 2 years after ACLR, female athletes demonstrated no differences in combined MVPA and only a very small reduction in vigorous PA, yet they had higher levels of self-reported knee pain and symptoms, reduced knee function in sports, lower quality of life, and poorer objective knee function compared with matched controls.

description: Prokaryotes have a wide range of antiviral strategies to defend against invading mobile genetic elements (MGEs). Type III CRISPR-Cas systems typically synthesise cyclic oligoadenylate (cOA) second messengers upon binding to cognate foreign RNA. These second messengers allosterically activate type III CRISPR ancillary proteins, potentiating a powerful immune response. Following the discovery of cOA signalling pathway, several ancillary proteins from Csx1/Csm6 family had been described. They sense cOA molecules with their CARF (CRISPR associated Rossman fold) domains and non-specifically cleave RNA with their effector domains. Here, we describe the structure and mechanism of two novel ancillary proteins Can1 and Can2. Can1 has a unique monomeric architecture that contains two CARF domains, a PD-(D/E)XK nuclease domain and a nuclease-like domain. It favours nicking scDNA in the presence of cyclic tetra-adenylate (cA₄) and metal ions. Can2 forms a canonical homodimer and each monomer contains a CARF domain and a PD-(D/E)XK nuclease domain. It exhibits both DNase and RNase activity in the presence of cA₄ and metal ions. It also provides effective immunity against plasmid and bacteriophage infection in a recombinant type III CRISPR-Cas system.

description: Autonomy – acting volitionally with a sense of choice – is a crucial right for children. Given parents’ pivotal position in their child’s autonomy development, we examined how parental autonomy support and children’s need for autonomy were negotiated and manifested in the context of children’s independent mobility – children’s ability to play, walk or cycle unsupervised. We interviewed 105 Canadian children between 10 and 13-years-old and their parents (n = 135) to examine child-parents’ negotiation patterns as to children’s independent mobility. Four patterns emerged, varying on parental autonomy support and children’s need/motivation for independent mobility: (1) child/parent dyad wants to increase independent mobility; (2) child only wants to increase independent mobility while parents do not; (3) child does not want to increase independent mobility while parents do; and (4) child/parent dyad does not want to increase independent mobility. Findings illuminate the importance of recognizing children as active and capable agents of change.

Year: 2022

description: Wood is commonly used in construction, but often perceived as being less safe than structures made from non-combustible materials. With the advancement of wood products and treatment, construction techniques, and protective systems, this may not be the case any longer. Using retrospective data from fire departments across Canada, this study aimed to determine whether the type of construction material (combustible or non-combustible) affected the fire severity outcome of a one to six storey apartment building fire, after accounting for protective systems (smoke alarms and sprinklers). The study found that, after adjusting for the presence of smoke alarms and sprinklers, structures constructed from non-combustible construction materials did not perform better in terms of injuries, requiring extinguishment by fire department, or the fire spreading beyond the room of origin. The presence of working smoke alarms and sprinklers played a central role in reducing the severity outcome of a fire. Smoke alarms and sprinklers both reduced the odds of extinguishment by the fire department and the fire spreading beyond the room of origin. Sprinklers also reduced the injury rate. Overall, this study highlighted the importance of protective systems in reducing fire severity outcomes.

description: The main focus of this Master’s project, Multicultural Training for Korean Teachers, is to generate recommendations for multicultural training for elementary and secondary school teachers in Korea. The background is in the current circumstance that Korea is being illuminated as a newly emerging multicultural society. The two factors illustrated as the primary reasons for this shift are the increase of foreign immigrant workers and internationally married couples centered in Korean rural areas. While these foreign populations contribute to the economic development of society in both rural and urban areas, the majority of Koreans view them in negative and prejudiced ways. The root cause is the deeply embedded value of pride in an unrealistic pure blooded homogeneous nation. In order to break this cycle and embrace the increasingly multicultural reality of Korea, teachers, who are responsible for the education and formation of youth, play a key role in re-defining national pride. For teachers living this Korean multicultural society, it is essential that they should have intercultural competence enabling to appreciate and embrace ethnic, cultural diversity growing in a community. This ability will enable them to practice cultural respect in the classroom and further become a potential force that can plant a healthy image of multicultural Korean society into all members’ heart. Keeping this in mind, this master’s project makes a recommendation for a multicultural training for Korean teachers. To do this, various methods designed to develop intercultural competence in the field of intercultural/multicultural training were explored and the training effects/outcomes expected from a certain training method were examined as well. Based on Brislin and Yoshida’s intercultural training model that consists of four stages of awareness, knowledge, emotional challenges, and behavioral skills, particular elements of training (training methods and techniques) were put together and modified to suit to Korean teacher trainees’ needs and desires.

description: Unstructured outdoor play has been recognized for its beneficial impacts on children’s healthy development; however, unfortunately, opportunities for children to engage in meaningful play are limited. Early learning and childcare centres can be essential settings for unstructured outdoor play, and educators can play a vital role in supporting children’s opportunities, yet they face numerous barriers. We conducted five focus groups with 40 professionals working in the early childhood education field (educators, students and licensing officers) in British Columbia, Canada, to examine their experiences and perceived challenges in promoting children’s unstructured outdoor play. Participants’ identified challenges were mapped on the ecological system and ranged from microsystem concerns (e.g. knowledge and skills) to mesosystem concerns (e.g. lack of shared understanding with parents and colleagues), exosystem concerns (e.g. licensing regulations) and macrosystem concerns (e.g. societal risk aversion). We recommend evidence-based strategies to address each of the identified barriers, targeting each ecological system level.

description: In an ongoing biodiversity study of fungal pathogens on cicada nymphs in Thailand, fifty samples of Pleurocordyceps nipponica-like and Ophiocordyceps longissima-like in Ophiocordycipitaceae were found and collected. The aims of this study were to investigate the biodiversity and to identify the insect pathogenic fungi infecting cicada nymphs within the Ophiocordycipitaceae in Thailand. Our research has encountered challenges and questions arising from cryptic species, making it difficult to identify them based on overlapping morphological characteristics. Both Pleurocordyceps nipponica and Ophiocordyceps longissima are comprised of species complexes, characterized by the production of reddish-brown stromata, mostly branched, and producing red bright-colored cylindrical stroma, respectively. We used a combination of morphological characteristics and molecular data to resolve these two cryptic species. Molecular analysis from multiple gene sequences; SSU, LSU, EF1, RPB1 and RPB2, revealed distinct divergence within species, especially in 18S rDNA sequence insertion variations.  Our findings allowed us to segregate Pleurocordyceps nipponica into 2 subclades and Ophiocordyceps longissima into 4 subclades, which will be proposed as new species from Thailand.

description: Objective To study the role of Interleukin-1β and plasminogen activating system members in endometriosis migration/invasion. Design Primary cultures of endometriotic stromal cells. Subjects Patients with surgically excised endometriosis. Interventions Interleukin-1β stimulation of primary cultures of endometriotic stromal cells, and knockdown of plasminogen activating system members urokinase plasminogen activator, urokinase plasminogen activator receptor, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1. Main outcome measures Invasion/migration assays Results In primary cultures, Interleukin-1β stimulated endometriotic stromal cell production of the plasminogen activating system members urokinase plasminogen activator, urokinase plasminogen activator receptor, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1. Interleukin-1β also enhanced endometriotic stromal cell migration and invasion, and these effects were inhibited by the Interleukin-1R1 antagonist Anakinra. Knockdown of each of the three plasminogen activating system members also inhibited endometriotic stromal cell migration and invasion. Knockdown of these plasminogen activating system members further attenuated the impact of Interleukin-1β on migration and invasion, suggesting that they mediated the pro-migration and pro-invasion effects of Interleukin-1β. To supplement the cell culture work, immunohistochemistry was carried out on tissue sections of endometriosis epithelium/stroma: urokinase plasminogen activator, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, and Interleukin-1β H-scores were not found to be correlated with each other. Conclusion In primary cultures of endometriosis stromal cells, Interleukin-1β induces migration and invasion, which is mediated by plasminogen activating system members, and inhibited by the drug Anakinra. However, immunohistochemistry expression of Interleukin-1β, urokinase plasminogen inhibitor-1 and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 were not correlated, suggesting other regulatory mechanisms for plasminogen activating system members. Inhibition of Interleukin-1β (e.g. with Anakinra) may have potential as a novel treatment approach for the migration/invasion of endometriosis.

description: The Vision of Europe as knowledge-based society is funded on availability and application of knowledge in all segments of European life. Universities, as key provider of knowledge, and industry, as its largest consumer, are two pillows of this vision. Academic Institutions has a double role in provisioning of knowledge: "research" for creation of new knowledge and "education" as dissemination of current knowledge. In this investigation, a four-year cross-border collaboration is described, including strategy, mechanisms and tools adopted for supporting a wider cooperation between universities and industry. Background, challenges and concepts of long-term sustainability are also presented. Furthermore, a general overview of technical outcomes and advances, provided by a research and development joint action, thanks to this international cooperation, is illustrated. A deeper description regarding these technical investigations is proposed in the following articles of this Special Issue on "Wood: an Ancient Material for a Modern Quality".

description: Historical buildings can be highly vulnerable to earthquakes if in-plane strength and stiffness of floors and roofs are not sufficient to limit out-of-plane deformation of walls and to transmit the seismic forces among walls efficiently. In fact, floors and roofs in existing masonry buildings are normally realized with timber beams, purlins and a single layer of timber boards, and their in-plane stiffness can be limited when subjected to shear forces. Various retrofitting techniques are available, whose effectiveness can be very different and not easily predictable theoretically. In this paper, the behavior of different strengthening criteria for historical buildings, involving the use of wood and wood based products, is illustrated and critically discussed. Code provisions, design rules and calculation methods for strengthening interventions are described. In-plane behavior of floor and roof structures and their interaction and connection to the seismic resistant wall systems are considered. Finally, a case study of restoration intervention on a historic barn is presented, which was damaged during the 2012 earthquake in Emilia. The illustration is focused on the improvement of the whole safety of the construction by means of specifically designed interventions on the wooden roof.

Data repository for the paper "Satellite mapping reveals extensive industrial activity at sea (Paolo et al. 2024, Nature)". See README.md for description of each file. Here we present a detailed global map of major industrial activities at sea. To detect and characterize vessels and offshore infrastructure in coastal waters around the globe, we analyzed 2 petabytes of satellite imagery spanning 2017–2021, with our analyses covering over 15% of the ocean (Extended Data Figure 1) where more than 75% of industrial activity is concentrated (see Methods). We designed and trained three deep convolutional neural networks to identify objects (>97% accuracy) and estimate their lengths (0.84 R2); to classify offshore infrastructure into oil, wind, and other objects (>98% accuracy); and to classify vessels as fishing or non-fishing (>90% accuracy). Combined, we classified over 67 million image tiles, including dual-polarization synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) imagery from Sentinel-1 and optical (red, green, blue, and near infrared) imagery from Sentinel-2. The resolution of SAR allows us to capture the majority of objects larger than 15 meters (detection rate of >70% for 25 m vessels, and >90% for 50 m and larger, Extended Data Figure 2). We also analyzed 53 billion vessel GPS positions from AIS and matched them to the satellite detections to determine whether a detected vessel was publicly tracked.
