description: Youths with physical disabilities experience various obstacles in their transition to adulthood which can contribute to poorer health and socioeconomic outcomes in later life, compared to their non-disabled peers. Transitional care offers these youths the necessary support to overcome such obstacles. The objective of this study was to explore participants’ experiential learning in the development of life skills within the transitional care program TranXition, and their perceived contribution of the program to their goal attainment. Data were collected using photo-elicitation. Five participants were recruited from the TranXition program to audio-visually record (photographs or videos) their meaningful experiences in the program and to reflect on them during interviews. Participants felt the TranXition program helped them build their self-awareness and self-efficacy, and to feel more confident and skilled, whether at home, in school or in the community. Moreover, they appreciated the program’s group cohesion which facilitated learning life skills from others in order to achieve their goals. Finally, results suggest that group interventions, while important, may need to be complemented by individual consultations. Rehabilitation programs in real-world settings, such as the TranXition program, may be a promising adjunct to traditional transitional care for youths with physical disabilities.

description: Pomegranate fruits are one of the richest sources of phenolic substances, with high antioxidant activity. After juice extraction, the peels of pressed berries (juice production by-products) still contain important amount of antioxidant phenolics. Ultrasound assisted extraction (UAE) of phenolics from such wastes was studied in an agitated extractor with ultrasound generator and temperature regulation. The influence of temperature, solvent composition and ultrasound power on extraction kinetics was evaluated. The energy consumption during extraction process and the antioxidant capacity of the extracts were also studied. A new mathematical model for multi-criteria optimization of UAE was proposed. This kinetic model permitted the following and the prediction of polyphenols yield, antioxidant activity of obtained extracts and energy consumption during extraction process in wide ranges of temperature, ethanol content in the solvent  and ultrasound power. Performing control experiments, the model was validated for extraction yield, antioxidant capacity of the extracts and energy consumption. The advantage of ultrasound assistance was clearly demonstrated both for the reduction of extraction duration and for the reduction of energy consumption. The high antioxidant activity of the extracts confirmed the suitability of UAE for the preparation of antioxidant-rich plant extracts at reduced time and energy from food industry by-products.

description: Extremely premature birth puts infants at high risk for developmental delay and results in parent anxiety and depression. The primary objective of this study was to characterize feasibility and acceptability of a therapist-led, parent-administered therapy and massage program designed to support parent mental health and infant development. A single cohort of 25 dyads - parents (24 mothers, 1 father) and extremely preterm (<28 wk gestation) infants – participated in the intervention. During hospitalization, parents attended weekly hands-on education sessions with a primary therapist. Parents received bi-weekly developmental support emails for 12 months post-discharge and were scheduled for 2 outpatient follow up visits. We collected measures of parent anxiety, depression, and competence at baseline, hospital discharge, and <4 and 12 months post-discharge. All feasibility targets were met or exceeded at baseline and discharge (≥70%). Dyads participated in an average of 11 therapy sessions (range, 5–20) during hospitalization. Lower rates of data collection adherence were observed over successive follow ups (range, 40–76%). Parent-rated feasibility and acceptability scores were high at all time points. Results support parent-rated feasibility and acceptability of the TEMPO intervention for extremely preterm infants and their parents in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

description: Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) consumption has increased because of its human health benefits attributed to the presence of bioactive compounds, which lower cholesterol in the human body and inhibit cancer. Two main experiments were performed to determine the polyphenol, flavonoid, and antioxidant enzyme activity in four segments from the spear tip to base of asparagus, and to determine the bioactive compound and antiobesity effects in four different asparagus cultivars. Polyphenol and flavonoid contents were the highest in the first and second segments from the spear tip. The superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities in the first segment from the spear tip were higher than those in the other segments; however, peroxidase (POX) activity was lower in the first segment from the spear tip than that in the other segments. Total flavonoid content of the four asparagus cultivars did not differ significantly. Total phenolic compound content was the lowest in the NJ953 cultivar, whereas UC157’ had the highest (39.23 mg·L-1). The NJ953 cultivar showed lower lipid accumulation than that in the other cultivars. The biological activity of edible asparagus identified in the present study is expected to enhance human health and aid in preventing several diseases.

description: Cartographic generalization research has focused almost exclusively in recent years on topographic mapping, and has thereby gained an incorrect reputation for having to do only with reference or positional data. The generalization research community needs to broaden its scope to include thematic cartography and geovisualization. Generalization is not new to these areas of cartography, and has in fact always been involved in thematic geographic visualization, despite rarely being acknowledged. We illustrate this involvement with several examples of famous, public-audience thematic maps, noting the generalization procedures involved in drawing each, both across their basemap and thematic layers. We also consider, for each map example we note, which generalization operators were crucial to the formation of the map’s thematic message. The many incremental gains made by the cartographic generalization research community while treating reference data can be brought to bear on thematic cartography in the same way they were used implicitly on the well-known thematic maps we highlight here as examples.

description: Introduction and Objectives

Culicoides biting midges are among the most abundant of haematophagous insects. They transmit a great number of pathogens, but it is as vectors of arboviruses, and particularly arboviruses of domestic livestock, that they achieve their prime importance. Counting sorted Culicoides from light traps can be time-consuming, especially with hundreds or thousands of specimens. Despite advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-based object counting applications, implementing these techniques can still be costly or challenging. The study aimed to develop a simple, cost-effective, and easy-to-implement method for counting sorted Culicoides from light traps.

Materials and Methods

Culicoides, ranging from 10 to 1000, were accurately counted using a stereomicroscope and then photographed in alcohol on a white enameled plate with an Android cell phone. Subsequently, these samples were mixed to create various densities, up to several thousands, and photographed again. The IMAGEJ (FIJI) software was utilized to automatically count the specimens using a combination of simple commands based on the final “FIND MAXIMA” process. Optimal parameters for the command chain were estimated by comparing the results from several photographs of various insect densities with known exact counts. After defining the process, its agreement with exact manual counting using the stereomicroscope was evaluated through Bland-Altman analysis and Passing-Bablok regression.

Results

The statistical analysis showed that the method is highly repeatable, and as precise as the standard manual counting. It can thus be used in routine analysis.

Conclusion

The presented method is rapid and simple, and can even be implemented in a cell phone with the IMAGEJ. JS software. To simplify the process, particularly for the cell phone app where screen manipulation is challenging, an ImageJ MACRO containing all the necessary commands and parameters has been developed to simplify the process and is available from the authors.

description: Autologous Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is one of the most advanced immunotherapies to date. Since the approval of the first CAR-T cell therapy by the FDA in 2017, many technological advancements have been made in the design of CARs, mode of genetic engineering of T cells and composition of the CAR T cell product. How-ever, manufacturing of CAR-T cells remains mainly manual or semi-automated with little insight into the bioprocess and static process control. New manufacturing approaches are needed to lower costs to improve manufacturing capacity and shorten provision times. Semi-automated devices such as the Miltenyi Prodigy® were developed to reduce hands-on production time. However, these devices are not equipped with the process analytical technology necessary to fully characterize and control the process. An auto-mated AI-driven CAR-T cell manufacturing platform in smart manufacturing hospitals (SMH) is being developed to address these challenges. Automation will increase the cost-effectiveness and robustness of manufacturing. The smart integration of automated CAR-T cell manufacturing platforms into hospitals enables the independent manufacture of autologous CAR-T cell products. It leads to a paradigm shift from centralized ATMP production towards point-of-care treatment. This talk will elaborate on the translation of manual CAR-T cell manufacturing and quality control to an automated system with a focus on adaptability to the changing needs of the industry.

description: This paper examines the issues of borders and migrants by closely analysing the artwork Centro di Permanenza Temporanea (Centre for Temporary Permanence) [2007] by Albanian-born artist Adrian Paci. CPT is a short video filmed in San José, California, not far from the US – Mexico border, which is fraught with issues of migrant influx. The work makes a pointed reference to institutions in Italy whose function is to detain illegal migrants and determine whether they remain in Italian territory or face expulsion. Paci’s video subtly yet powerfully denounces the ongoing treatment of specific groups of migrants at troubled borders and skilfully films near the US – Mexico border in California. This paper aims to explore how CPT illustrates, in parallel scenarios, the ongoing discriminatory process against migrants with ‘undesirable’ provenances.

description: Aquaculture is a highly productive sector, whose production expands at an average annual rate of 6.2% (period 2000–2012; FAO, 2014).  However, many factors contribute to create adverse conditions heightening the susceptibility to infections and jeopardizing the world aquaculture production.  Polyphenols may represent a valid alternative to antibiotics and medicines currently employed in animal farming (Alagawany et al., 2015). They may protect from oxidative stress and some diseases (Gupta and Prakash, 2014; Costantini et al., 2014). As natural products, they hold great promise in human and animal health, but currently remain poorly tested in aquaculture.
In this presentation, we will illustrate the effects of a long term feeding trial carried out in the crayfish Astacus leptodactylus fed with diets containing olive mill waste water (OMWW). Our results show how growth performances, antioxidant and immunological parameters are improved in crayfish fed OMWW containing diets.  Moreover, the effects on microbiota and metabolism will be  reported.

The future of plant polyphenols holds exciting opportunities for feed industries to create novel products, such as feed supplements. The employment of polyphenols as supplements for aquatic animals will lead to better food commodities and will represent an interesting resource for the feed  industry sector.

description: The CIP Eco-Innovation project, PUReOPE, (Process for the Upgrade and Recovery of Polyphenol Extracts) aims to recover high value polyphenols from food and beverage industry waste streams. The goal is to develop a supply chain for polyphenols from industry, and the approach is transferrable to many other processing residues and in other sectors of the bio-economy.

Possible waste streams in the target industries were identified. These were evaluated through a combination of literature review, route to market evaluation, mass balance models and chemical analysis. Laboratory and pilot-scale concentration and drying produced solid polyphenol extracts which were analysed using High Performance Liquid Chromatography- (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) and Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC TqD). Quantitative data and processes developed at laboratory and pilot-scale were used to construct a mass balance for recovery of polyphenol extracts from the waste streams. A user requirement specification was developed (informed by the market evaluation) and a skid-mounted modular system was designed in-house, constructed to our specifications and is being operated on a source site to recover polyphenols.

This source site based process aids the reduction of capital, energy and transport costs over production from virgin material, while delivering environmental benefits, and improved polyphenol recovery.

description: Silychristin [1] is the second most abundant flavonolignan (after silybin [2]) present in the silymarin extract from the fruits of Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn. (Asteraceae). Here, we describe for the first time the antioxidant properties of silychristin and its analogs 2,3-dehydrosilychristin, 2,3-dehydroanhydro-silychristin, anhydrosilychristin, silyhermin, and isosilychristin).
Folin-Ciocalteau reduction (FCR), DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assays revealed silychristin and its analogs as powerful antioxidants, superior to silybin by 1 ~ 2 orders of magnitude. 2,3-Dehydrosilychristin, 2,3-dehydroanhydrosilychristin and anhydrosilychristin exhibited the strongest inhibition of microsomal lipoperoxidation (Lpx, IC50 4-6 µM). These compounds are likely responsible for most of the antioxidant properties of silymarin attributed traditionally (and wrongly?) to silybin [3] and our results demonstrate the high importance of detailed studies of all components in complex plant extracts.

description: We report herein a novel antioxidant biomaterial, named hydrolyzed spent coffee grounds (HSCG), from overnight treatment of spent coffee grounds (SCG) with 6 M HCl, at 100 °C.1 The biocompatibility and cytoprotection properties of HSCG were investigated in comparison with SCG on hepatocarcinoma (HepG2) cells. HSCG proved to be non-toxic at doses as high as 500 microg/mL and efficiently protected cells from oxidative stress-induced injury at 1-10 microg/mL. HSCG efficiently delayed thermal and iron-induced lipid peroxidation in fish and soybean oils. The modifications induced by in vitro gastrointestinal digestion followed by a fermentation step on the antioxidant activity of HSCG as measured by several chemical assays were also investigated. A significant antioxidant capacity was observed for both the bioaccesible (soluble) and particularly the indigestible fraction. HSCG may thus represent an easily accessible and sustainable alternative to currently available biomaterials with intrinsic antioxidant properties for biomedical applications, food preservation and food supplements.

description: Grapevine is an important agricultural plant typically grown in sun exposed areas. In this study, we examined sun exposed Pinot noir grapevine leaves and their major phenolic compounds. HPLC measurements identified caftaric acid as major phenolic acid and glycosylated quercetins as main flavonoids in addition to smaller amounts of various glycosylated kaempferols. These secondary metabolites protect against oxidative stress such as ultraviolet radiation or excess visible light (photoinhibition), as UV-absorbers and/or antioxidants. These properties were assessed in leaves and phenolic compounds. Quercetin derivatives and caftaric acid showed higher total antioxidant capacities than kaempferols. Nevertheless, differences were significally influenced by the applied assays (Csepregi et al. 2016). Furthermore, we examined ROS specific antioxidant capacities against singlet oxygen and hydrogen peroxide which may be directed to avoiding photoinhibition or UV damage, respectively. We found that these properties were also influenced by polyphenol structure, similar to total capacities. Results of this study demonstrate the versatility of polyphenols in acclimation to sunlight.

description: In this communication, we present a new approach towards RT-TDDFT through time-dependent KS equations based on an \emph{adiabatic eigenstate subspace} (AES) procedure. It introduces a second-order split operator technique in energy representation to implement the approximate TD propagator in AES. Most of the elements in TDKS matrix are directly computed in Cartesian coordinate grid (CCG). To demonstrate the internal consistency of our proposed scheme, we computed the TD dipole moment and high harmonic generation spectra using an adiabatic local density approximation. The comparison with available theoretical results ensures the feasibility of this proposed route.

description: The aim of this study was to develop a process for the recovery of anthocyanins from blackcurrant by-products (dried skins), in extracts exhibiting high stability and antioxidant activity. Organic solvents (methanol and ethanol), water and acetic acid buffer solutions were employed and the effect of solvent, temperature and time on the anthocyanin yield was investigated. The use of acetic acid/water mixtures (pH 1.5) resulted in the highest anthocyanin content, equal to 48.00 mg/g at 50°C. Low pH (pH 1.5) enabled the efficient extraction of free anthocyanins compared to solvent extraction. HPLC analysis revealed that delphinidin-3-rutinoside and cyanidin were the principal free and cell-bound anthocyanins in dried skins, respectively. The highest free phenolic content of extracts was 36.80 mg GAE/g in 70% (v/v) methanol/water mixtures. DPPH analysis showed a high antioxidant activity (~60.97% inhibition at 2 mg/ml of extract), which can be mainly attributed to the combination of phenolics such as hydroxycinnamic acids, flavonols and anthocyanins in the extracts. Very poor correlation (R2=0.0104) was seen between the total free anthocyanin content and total colour difference (TCD), indicative of the colour stability of the extracts, whereas higher temperature and longer extraction time had no influence on the colour of the extracts.

description: The health benefits of olive oil against cardiovascular and cancer diseases, among others, are due to the fatty acid composition and the minor components, mainly phenolic compounds. During olive oil processing, most of the phenols (98%) remain in the olive oil by-products that are promising source of functional compounds. The most important simple phenols in terms of quantity and bio-activity have been isolated and purified from the olive oil by-products, the hydroxytyrosol (HT) and the 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol (DHPG). Biological tests have been carried out to assess the synergism between both phenols Antioxidant test shown HT and DHPG had high antioxidant activities, even in lipid peroxidation, showing DHPG higher antiradical activity than the potent HT and the vitamin E (1). The cardiovascular benefits of these phenols have been assessed measuring the anti-platelet activity of HT, DHPG, mix of them and an extract rich in olive oil phenols. The results showed that HT and DHPG are for a large part responsible for the anti-platelet effects of olive oil phenols, and possibly of table olives (2). Antimicrobial assays, using pathogen in plants, have also showed the synergistic effect of both simple phenols in the proportion that are present in the nature olive fruit.

description: ANTHOPLUS yields anthocyanins in stable plant tissue cultures. We aim to produce purified anthocyanins, of novel complexity in side chain decoration, or labelled with stable isotopes for assaying the composition of feedstock for natural colors, bioavailability, bioefficacy and mechanistic research in experimental medicine and as analytical standards. Production comprises the whole value-chain from synthesis, scale-up, preparative purification, assessment of toxicity and bioactivities to distribution for sales.
 We focus on strategies established for the medium-scale purification of anthocyanins from cell suspension cultures. Anthocyanin profiles of plant cell extracts and chemical structures of candidate molecules are analyzed by LC-MS. Selected compounds are purified by sequential flash and preparative reversed phase chromatography.

description: Fruit and vegetable fermentation techniques are widely used as methodologies to preserve food. Fermentation processes lead to considerable amounts of residues that could contain bioactive compounds deriving from those originally present in the raw materials and modified by fermentation, or accumulate single components at high concentrations. Wastes deriving from production of “wines” by fermentation of Punica granatum, fermented pomegranate wastes (FPW), showed a marked antioxidant activity in a series of conventional chemical tests. HPLC /MS analyses of the methanol extracts showed the presence of ellagic acid (EA) as the main component at levels up to 40% on a w/w basis together with minor species that were further investigated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy without fractionation. Experiments using murine macrophages showed a stronger effect of the FPW extracts in reducing the LPS-induced expression of pro-inflammatory genes IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-a and iNOS compared to the fresh fruit extracts to a degree correlating with EA levels. Under simulated gastro intestinal conditions, EA was slowly released from FPW up to 30% of the overall content over 2 hrs only at the slightly alkaline pHs simulating the small intestine environment, suggesting a potential of the material in nutraceuticals and other applications.

description: Prickly pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) is used since ancient times, for medicinal purposes thanks to their therapeutic and healing properties. Despite the various uses reported for the decoction and infusion of these flowers, their characterization has been discarded. The decoction and infusion prepared from Opuntia ficus-indica were analyzed with respect to their nutrients and phytochemicals in order to evaluate its chemical constituents and antioxidant activities. Moreover, the phytochemical analysis revealed that they have important polyphenols, flavonoids and tannins contents with the infusion that presented the highest polyphenol levels.
 LC-MS analyses of decoction and infusion allowed the characterization of 20 phenolic compounds. It is mainly characterized by the presence of the flavonols glycosides.
  The results of this study show the potential of the decoction and infusion of O. ficus-indica flowers as sources of bioactive compounds, including minerals, flavonoids, certainly involved in their nutritional and medicinal uses. This rich composition could explain the beneficial effect of the O. ficus-indica flowers decoction and infusion and motivate the valorization of these flowers.

description: Wine industry is one of the most important agro-industrial activities throughout the world. Consequently, treatment and disposal of their wastes (lees, grape marc, stalks) are critical issues in wine-producing regions, so that, in these locations, wine is produced in wide scale, generating large amount of wastes during the grape harvest and racking periods, i.e., in just 3–4 months over the year [1]. Nevertheless, winery wastes are rich in value-added compounds, the polyphenols, which have high antioxidant properties. These wastes are abundant, being a cheap and attractive source for the recovery of these natural compounds [2]. Nowadays, polyphenols are extracted using organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, etc.) which are toxic. As an alternative to the extraction with toxic solvents, commonly employed for this matter, the present study investigated a membrane-based process for the recovery of antioxidants present in wine lees from the second racking of red winemaking. By means of microfiltration associated with water dilutions (aqueous extraction), a permeate with antioxidant properties was obtained representing a recovery of more than 20% of the total content of polyphenols from the wine lees. Subsequently, the polyphenols concentration is carried out by nanofiltration.

description: The aim of this study was to apply strategy involving the complementary substrate concept during the anaerobic digestion of olive mill wastewater. Microalgae biomass grown in domestic wastewater sewage was used as a complementary substrate.

Olive mill wastewater (OMW) anaerobic digestion has been mentioned in the literature as a problematic process, besides other factors, due to the presence of lipids and polyphenols that are considered to be toxic, persistent and recalcitrant in the environment. The toxicity of OMW, associated with phenolic compounds, is classified as secondary metabolic involved in defence/protection functions of plants.

Batch experiments were run under mesophilic conditions of temperature to explore the algal influence on OMW degradation and biogas production. Experiments containing 5 and 10% (v/v) of OMW achieved better results and a total phenol removal of 66 and 78% and a biogas production of 0.22 and 0.32 m³ kg-1 total volatile solids were respectively registered. It was confirmed that the drawbacks of OMW characteristics can be overcome by applying the strategy involving a complementary substrate. Moreover, the results indicate that the microalgae biomass is suitable for this purpose.

description: Peritoneal carcinomatosis is one of the leading causes of death in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Newer locoregional treatment concepts include pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC), the regional application of pressurized chemotherapeutic agents to the abdominal cavity, which is usually performed every 4 to 8 weeks. One of the main challenges of PIPAC therapy remains the objective assessment of treatment response. The present study describes a new scoring system to histologically assess the regression of peritoneal cancer following PIPAC therapy, quantitative assessment of histological regression in peritoneal carcinomatosis (QARP). Peritoneal biopsies from 27 patients with peritoneal metastases undergoing PIPAC were obtained and processed in a standardized fashion. Biopsies were scored according to the QARP grading system. The five‑tiered system was graded as follows, Grade 0, no residual tumor cells with regressive changes present; grade 1, 1‑25% viable tumor cells per tumor focus with regressive changes present; grade 2, 26‑50% viable tumor cells per tumor focus with regressive changes present; grade 3, 51‑75% viable tumor cells per tumor focus with few regressive changes; grade 4, >75% viable tumor cells per tumor focus with minimal or no regressive changes. Based on the new grading system, the study cohort was divided into QARP responders and QARP non‑responders following PIPAC treatment. Higher QARP scores were significantly correlated with higher PCI scores (r=0.32; P=0.007). However, no difference in overall survival was detected between QARP responders and QARP non‑responders. Further studies are required to ascertain the reproducibility and prognostic significance of QARP.

description: In the field of EEG-based gaze prediction, the application of deep learning to interpret complex neural data poses significant challenges. This study evaluates the effectiveness of pre-processing techniques and the effect of additional depthwise separable convolution on EEG vision transformers (ViTs) in a pretrained model architecture. We introduce a novel method, the EEG Deeper Clustered Vision Transformer (EEG-DCViT), which combines depthwise separable convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with vision transformers, enriched by a pre-processing strategy involving data clustering. The new approach demonstrates superior performance, establishing a new benchmark with a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 51.6 mm. This achievement underscores the impact of pre-processing and model refinement in enhancing EEG-based applications.

description: The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) systems in recent years is largely due to the impressive capabilities of artificial neural networks. Their powerful capabilities in natural language understanding and computer vision have paved the way for the wide adoption of AI solutions. However, these models often demand significant computational resources and operate as "black boxes", limiting their utility in sensitive domains, such as finance and healthcare, where strict personal data protection regulations apply.
 This thesis addresses the triadic trade-off between accuracy, explainability, and resource consumption in the context of supervised learning, with an emphasis on representation learning for text applications. It starts presenting three use cases: semantic segmentation for autonomous driving, sentiment analysis via language models, and text summary evaluation. These cases underscore the need for robust evaluation techniques to enhance system trustworthiness but also highlight their limitations, motivating the development of RatVec, an explainable, resource-efficient framework leveraging kernel PCA and k-nearest neighbors, which is presented subsequently. RatVec demonstrates a competitive performance under certain conditions, especially when tasks can be represented as sequence similarity problems, e.g., protein family classification. For situations where RatVec is less suitable, such as text classification, the thesis proposes an analogous pipeline using Transformer-based text representations. This approach, when fine-tuned, approximates the accuracy from pure neural models while maintaining architectural explainability, and enables granular explanations of semantic similarity via a novel technique of pairing contextualized best-matching tokens.
 In sum, this thesis advances the pursuit of trustworthy AI systems by introducing RatVec, a resource-efficient, explainable framework optimally suited to settings that are naturally translatable to sequence similarity problems, and proposing an explainable Transformer-based pipeline for text classification tasks. These advancements address some of the challenges of deploying AI in sensitive domains and suggest several promising avenues for future research.
