description: One of the key priorities of the Cultural Routes programme of the Council of Europe is intercultural dialogue. The resolution of the Council of Ministers no. 67 (2013) indicated that an overriding strategic goal of the Council was to “promote dialogue and understanding between majority and minority, native and immigrant cultures.” It linked this general principle to two other documents regarding strategic policy for the Council of Europe: the White Paper on Intercultural Dialogue entitled “Living Together As Equals in Dignity” (White Paper on Intercultural Dialogue, 2008) and the Convention on the Value of Cultural Heritage for Society, otherwise known as the “Faro Convention” (Council of Europe Framework Convention, 2005). These general principles were adopted by the Council of Europe Advisory Forum of the Cultural Routes in Baku in 2014, whose closing declaration included an exhortation that the cultural routes should act as “vectors of intercultural dialogue” (Baku Declaration (2014). This paper will look at the way the ATRIUM cultural route has attempted to interpret and implement this strategic goal.

description: Nowadays, all sectors utilize devices that are part of the Internet of Things (IoT) for the purpose of connecting and exchanging information with other devices and systems over the Internet. This increases the diversity of devices and their working environments, which, in turn, creates new challenges, such as real-time interaction, security, interoperability, performance, and robustness of IoT systems. To address these, many applications protocols were adopted and developed for devices with constrained resources. This paper surveys communication protocols divided according to their goals along with their merits, demerits, and suitability towards IoT applications. We summarize the challenges of communication protocols as well as some relevant solutions.

description: In 1986 a law was introduced which obligated Italian municipalities and provinces to adopt Plans to Remove Architectural Barriers (Peba), an obligation extended to private entities with the 1989 law. Within thirty-three years the problem returned, especially for cultural heritage, which was ever more linked to touristic practices. This involves a lack of intervention which limits or impedes 60 million European citizens from visiting them, and over 300 million potential international tourists with specific needs (Eurostat, 2015, 2018). This paper proposes a reflection on the cultural changes needed to really make the artistic and landscape heritage of our country “for everyone”. The in-depth analysis will begin by looking at the Italian legal framework, among the most advanced in Europe, and that of incentivising to then evolve into an initial gathering of good practices in Europe. Reoccurring examples supply an introductory document to consult and an updated archive of suggestions to reduce limitations for those who want to access routes and structures, startin with the Via Francigena (EAVF, 2018). The aim is to show how this religious-cultural route can be an example of tourism for all, similar to the French route to Santiago de Compostela, where, every year, just over 300,000 pilgrims arrive on foot, as well as 2.5 million religious tourists (Gonzales et alii, 2014). The analysis is directed towards the evaluation of physical and cultural barriers, to understand if lasting solutions for all are just advantageous for those with specific, permanent or temporary needs, or for the whole community. There are plenty of examples of the latter: the remote control, made to help those who are bedridden became a day-to-day object. Just like voice-activated phones, initially thought of for blind people, are now used by most people as a form of hands-free technology! The aim is to plan and create a sustainable and resilient society for everyone.

description: Australia is home to a diverse range of unique flora with exceptional survival mechanisms and phytochemicals, which makes them an attractive source for discovering new drugs. This study proposes a bioassay-guided fractionation protocol to effectively screen plants with potential bioactive properties and isolate novel key compounds. Five native Australian plants were selected for screening, namely Pittosporum angustifolium (Gumbi gumbi), Terminalia ferdinandiana (Kakadu plum, seeds, and flesh), Cupaniopsis anacardioides (Tuckeroo, seeds and flesh), Podocarpus elatus (Illawarra plum seeds and flesh) and Pleiogynium timoriense (Burdekin plum seeds and flesh). Subsequently, plants exhibiting high phenolic content and antioxidant capacity were selected for in vitro anticancer and antimicrobial bioassays, which is Phase 1 of the protocol. Extracts that exhibited bioactivity were selected for Phase 2, which involved fractionation using column chromatographic separation techniques (HPLC) and performing bioassays on the separated fractions.
This protocol successfully identified P. angustifolium extract as having the highest cytotoxic properties against cancer cell lines (HeLa, HT29, and HuH7), attributed to a high occurrence of t-ferulic acid. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) based time fractionation of the GGL extract (F1-F5) was performed, and dose-dependent cytotoxic effects were determined. Fraction 1 was identified as the most promising for further fractionation and isolation, with a high selectivity index (SI) value for HeLa, HT29, and HuH7 (1.60, 1.41, and 1.67, respectively). Compounds tentatively identified in P. angustifolium Fraction 1 using LC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS were chlorogenic acid and/or neochlorogenic acid, bergapten, berberine, 8`-Epitanegool, and rosmarinic acid. Sub-fractionation of P. angustifolium Fraction 1 showed that the cytotoxic properties were due to the synergistic effect of the phenolic compounds present. Therefore, further fractionation and separation of compounds in these samples were not pursued. Using this designed protocol for bioprospecting plants would allow for more efficient screening of understudied plants and pave the way for future research of unidentified plants with pharmacological significance.

description: This paper examines how the Phoenicians’ Route acts as a framework for intercultural dialogue in today’s Mediterranean. Particular reference is made to tourism in the region, with a focus on Malta. The paper refers to recent aspects of the route’s development in the field of intangible heritage. It focuses on those elements of intangible heritage that accompany, reveal and highlight the social relevance of heritage by highlighting the appreciation accorded by Mediterranean communities to artefacts, sites and monuments that are part of the route. It emphasises the educational and social elements of the actions supported by the route in relation to intercultural dialogue, looking at how this practice relates to other cultural manifestations. This paper pays special attention to the inter-relation between tourism activities and cultural expression in Malta, a recent member of the route. Furthermore, special attention is given to the annual Malta Mediterranean Literature Festival, in order to study the way the approach towards research about the Phoenicians supported by the route is applied in the framework of the Festival. The paper notes how the Festival links past and present by seeking inspiration from historical episodes of intercultural dialogue in the Mediterranean and applying them to the contemporary needs of artistic, cultural, political and social exchange within the Mediterranean space.

description: An Energy-efficient building is enhancing a worldwide movement as a policy to lessen the carbon footprint. With the intention of zero energy building in sub-tropical climates, exertion should be placed to minimize the overall energy usage to the greatest scope by incorporating apposite construction skills into the whole design process. Suitable building envelope resources are one of the most effective ways to manage energy flows, minimize energy loss, and maintain a comfortable environment for occupants. In the present paper, a conventional building(Educational) in Hong Kong is considered and the goal is to identify and prioritize the potentialenergy saving opportunities through the implications of multiple envelopes (walls, windows,etc.) fabric using dynamic BIM-BPS process for potential retrofitting. A conceptual frameworkis proposed for comprehensive energy assessment using BIM (e.g. Revit 2019) and BPS tools(e.g. e-QUEST) to simulate the energy performance of the building. Using a calibrated model,several high performances envelop fabric are considered to perform a parametric investigation(e.g. walls, windows) through active simulation process. In order to achieve more realisticconditioning, an assumed occupancy profile also considered during the energy analysis. Resultshave shown that a significant saving of 11.45% in yearly entailed total building energy. Thestudy can help with the decision-making analysis regarding future retrofitting opportunities in asub-tropical climate.

description: A novel biflavonoid [kaempferol (6→8″) apigenin] was isolated from the leaves of Jacaranda acutifolia. The structure was elucidated based on chemical evidence, 1D and 2D spectroscopic analyses as well as spectrometric techniques. The compound showed promising cytotoxic activity against breast cancer cell line MCF-7. The anticancer activity was explained via virtual docking of the isolated compound to the main sites in the human cyclin-dependent kinase2 (CDK2) crystal structure.

description: A new tridentate PCP pincer palladium (Pd) complex based on cross-linked Merrifield resin containing phosphinite ligand was synthesized and characterized. This polymeric catalyst was used in preparation of benzonitriles from different aryl iodides using potassium hexacyanoferrate (II) as a cyanide source. The presence of active metallic Pd in the catalyst was verified by X-ray power diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy techniques. Transmission electron microscopy showed good dispersion of catalytic sites in the range of 30–50 nm. The catalyst is easily separated from reaction mixture and can be used for several times in repeating cycles without considerable loss of activity. The leaching of Pd from the support is negligible, which was confirmed by inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry and hot filtration test.

description: Introduction : La modulation conditionnée de la douleur (CPM) fait partie de l’analgésie endogène, et s'évalue grâce à un protocole CPM. S'il existe de nombreux protocoles CPM, aucun n’est adapté à la pratique en physiothérapie. L’objectif de ce travail est donc d'établir et de tester un protocole CPM afin de l'intégrer à la pratique en physiothérapie. Celui-ci devrait être simple d'utilisation, rapide et peu couteux afin de garantir une bonne accessibilité. En outre, cela permettrait une évaluation plus globale de la douleur, notamment en raison des liens entre la CPM et les mécanismes neurophysiologiques liés à l’activité physique et à la thérapie manuelle. Matériel et méthode : Un protocole CPM a été établi sur la base de la littérature, puis testé sur sept adultes en bonne santé, dépourvus de douleurs aigues ou chroniques. Il a ensuite été adapté afin de correspondre à la pratique en physiothérapie. Résultats : Le protocole CPM décrit le déroulement du test, en vue d’une utilisation simple et accessible par un(e) physiothérapeute. Les consignes ont été détaillées pour être facilement comprises par les participants. Discussion : Les exigences quant au protocole CPM ont globalement pu être remplies. Des recherches futures concernant les implications liées à l’activité physique et la thérapie manuelle, ainsi que l’évaluation du protocole chez d’autres populations (douleurs chroniques, personnes âgées et enfants), seraient utiles à l’implémentation d’un protocole CPM en physiothérapie. Conclusion : Le protocole CPM établi semble adapté à une utilisation en physiothérapie. Une validation future permettrait une utilisation généralisée en physiothérapie.

description: Introduction : Les mutilations génitales féminines (MGF) ont des répercussions sur la santé des femmes qui les subissent. Parmi elles, les conséquences psychologiques sont particulièrement peu étudiées. Une bonne connaissance des enjeux de la santé psychologique de ces femmes est primordiale pour garantir une prise en charge adaptée. Objectifs : Déterminer quelles sont les conséquences psychologiques des mutilations génitales féminines et quelles sont les expériences psychologiques que les femmes rapportent en lien avec celles-ci. Méthodologie : 7 études ont été sélectionnées sur 3 bases de données entre septembre 2020 et janvier 2021. Un critère d’inclusion portant sur les outils (HSCL-25 et PCL-C) a été ajouté afin d’affiner la sélection des études. Les articles analysés sont de type quantitatif, qualitatif et mixte. Résultats : Les femmes ayant subi une MGF sont, de manière générale, plus touchées par la dépression, l’anxiété et le stress post-traumatique. Plusieurs études démontrent, en ce sens, des résultats significatifs. Les études qualitatives obtiennent des résultats hétérogènes. Les femmes immigrées ou réfugiées décrivent des sentiments se rapportant à la dépression, l’anxiété et le stress post-traumatique, ainsi que des troubles du sommeil et des cauchemars. Certaines femmes, majoritairement natives, décrivent des sentiments positifs liés aux MGF. Conclusion : Il n’est pas possible d’établir un lien direct entre les MGF et les troubles psychologiques. Le parcours migratoire et le choc culturel vécu par ces femmes doivent être pris en compte dans de futures études afin de déterminer le réel impact des mutilations génitales sur la santé psychologique de ces femmes.

description: Introduction : La lombalgie est la première cause de handicap fonctionnel. C’est un problème de société majeur. Il est démontré qu’il est pertinent de s’intéresser aux facteurs qui influencent la lombalgie non-spécifique, plutôt qu’à l’origine précise des douleurs. Objectif : L’objectif de ce travail de Bachelor consiste à déterminer s’il existe une relation entre l’amplitude de mouvement et l’intensité de la douleur chez les personnes atteintes de lombalgie. Méthodologie : Les bases de données Embase, Web of Science, Cinahl, PubMed et Pedro ont été consultées le 4 septembre 2020. Avec des critères d’inclusion et d’exclusion précis, un premier tri des articles a été effectué grâce à leurs résumés. Le deuxième tri a été effectué grâce aux textes intégraux. Les outcomes utilisés pour cette revue sont l’amplitude de mouvement (outils de laboratoire, inclinomètre, distance doigt-sol, Schöber) et la douleur (EVA, NPRS, questionnaire McGill, MPI, PDI, LBP rating scale). Résultats : 47 articles ont été retenus pour ce travail. Parmi les 43 articles (4037 participants, 75 corrélations transversales), 52 corrélations sont négatives. 63,5% des corrélations négatives sont faibles et établies entre 0 et -0,3. Parmi les 8 articles (541 participants, 16 corrélations longitudinales), 15 corrélations sont négatives. 46,7% des corrélations négatives sont faibles et établies entre 0 et -0,3. Conclusion : La majorité des corrélations atteste un faible lien entre l’amplitude de mouvement et l’intensité des douleurs chez les personnes atteintes de lombalgie. L’augmentation du mouvement n’est pas l’unique facteur qui amène la diminution des douleurs. L’influence de ces facteurs sur la douleur doit être évaluée.

description: Introduction : La cervicalgie est une pathologie commune fréquente. Les mouvements de la région cervicale d’une personne symptomatique diffèrent de ceux d’un sujet asymptomatique. En clinique, il est important de quantifier de manière objective ce changement d’amplitude afin de mettre en évidence son évolution lors d’une prise en charge clinique. Le but de ce travail est d’évaluer la fiabilité inter et intra-évaluateurs de l’outil de mesure d’amplitude ViMoveTM. Méthodologie : L’amplitude active des mouvements de la région cervicale a été évaluée auprès de 19 sujets asymptomatiques. Afin de déterminer la fiabilité inter et intra-évaluateurs du ViMoveTM, des coefficients de corrélation intraclasse (CCI), des erreurs de mesures standards (SEM) et changements minimaux détectables (MDC) ont été calculés. Résultats : Les CCI inter-évaluateurs étaient compris entre 0,62 et 0,87. Une différence significative a été retrouvée pour l’inclinaison gauche entre la moyenne des mesures de l’évaluateur 1 et 2 (p=0,009). Les CCI intra-évaluateur pour l’évaluateur 1 allaient de 0,39 (non significatif) à 0,84. Les CCI de l’évaluateur 2 allaient de 0,57 à 0,89. Discussion : La fiabilité inter-évaluateurs du ViMoveTM a été démontrée comme bonne pour tous les mouvements, sauf l’extension dont la valeur de CCI était modérée. Pour la fiabilité intra-évaluateur, seul le CCI de la flexion était considéré comme bon pour l’évaluateur 1. Pour l’évaluateur 2, les CCI étaient tous considérés comme bons exceptés pour les mouvements d’extension et d’inclinaison qui étaient modérés. Conclusion : Le ViMoveTM semble être fiable pour une utilisation en clinique. De futures recherches devraient être entreprises pour investiguer sa fiabilité sur une population symptomatique qui serait plus proche de celle retrouvée en clinique.

description: Given its real-time capability to quantify mechanical tissue properties, ultrasound shear wave elastography holds significant promise in clinical musculoskeletal imaging. However, existing shear wave elastography methods fall short in enabling full-limb analysis of 3D anatomical structures under diverse loading conditions, and may introduce measurement bias due to sonographer-applied force on the transducer. These limitations pose numerous challenges, particularly for 3D computational biomechanical tissue modeling in areas like prosthetic socket design. In this feasibility study, a clinical linear ultrasound transducer system with integrated shear wave elastography capabilities was utilized to scan both a calibrated phantom and human limbs in a water tank imaging setup. By conducting 2D and 3D scans under varying compressive loads, this study demonstrates the feasibility of volumetric ultrasound shear wave elastography of human limbs. Our preliminary results showcase a potential method for evaluating 3D spatially varying tissue properties, offering future extensions to computational biomechanical modeling of tissue for various clinical scenarios.

description: Finger millet is a nutri-rich cereal crop of poor people living in the developing countries of Asia and Africa. Finger millet grains contain high amounts of potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, manganese, copper, zinc, and iron. Its calcium content is 10-fold higher than all other cereals and even three times higher than milk. Finger millet seeds are also rich in cystine, methionine, tryptophan, and total aromatic amino acids as compared to other cereals. Genome sequence of finger millet gives us the opportunity to study the nutrient transporters. No attempt has been made to analyze and improve the nutrient transport in finger millet based on the genome sequence. In this review, we discuss the nutritional importance of finger millet and report the details on key nutrient transporters for the first time. We have performed a genome-wide identification of various mineral nutrient transporters (nitrogen, ammonia, phosphorous, sulfur, potassium, and micronutrients) of finger millet and analyzed their protein sequences with those of various model cereals by various computational tools. Phylogenetic relationship of each nutrient transporter with those of other plants was analyzed and reviewed. The conserved and functional residues of nutrient transporters are analyzed through homology modeling and multiple sequence alignment using transporters with available crystal structures as templates and those from key cereals. This review may provide a foundation for further studies on these nutrient transporters and would help improve the nutrient transport in finger millet and other cereals to conserve food and nutrient security in the developing countries of Asia and Africa.

description: Continuous gravitational-wave signals (CWs) are long-lasting quasi-monochromatic gravitational-wave signals expected to be emitted by rapidly-rotating non-axisymmetric neutron stars. Depending on the rotational frequency and sky location of the source, certain CW signals may behave in a similar manner to narrow-band artifacts present in ground-based interferometric detectors. Part of the detector-characterisation tasks in the current generation of interferometric detectors (Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo, and KAGRA) aim at understanding the origin of these narrow artifacts, commonly known as ``spectral lines''. It is expected that similar tasks will continue after the arrival of next-generation detectors (e.g. Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer). Typically, a fraction of the observed lines in a given detector can be associated to one or more instrumental causes; others, however, have an unknown origin. In this work, we assess the similarity of CW signals to spectral lines in order to understand whether a CW may be mistaken for a noise artifact. Albeit astrophysically unlikely, our results do not rule out the possibility of a CW signal being visible in the detector's power spectrum.

description: This study describes the qualitative and quantitative chemical composition and evaluates the antibacterial activity of essential oil from Eugenia platysema leaves. Analysis by GC–FID and GC–MS allowed the identification of 22 compounds. Different from the other species of the Eugenia genus, the major compound found in the essential oil was the diterpene phytol (66.05%), being this the first report of the presence of this compound in the essential oils from Eugenia genus. The sesquiterpene elixene was the second most concentrated compound in the studied essential oil (9.16%). The essential oil from E. platysema was tested for its antibacterial activity against cell-walled bacteria and mollicute strains of clinical interest using the microdilution broth assay. The results showed that the essential oil of E. platysema was inactive until 1000 μg mL−1 against tested bacteria.

description: Introduction La problématique de l’AVC est en constante augmentation entre autres due au vieillissement de la population. Il engendre de nombreuses déficiences, telles que la spasticité. Celle-ci peut être expliquée par différents mécanismes physiologiques encore mal connus, et diminue l’autonomie ainsi que la qualité de vie des patients. La thérapie thermique, utilisée comme moyen de traitement pour d’autres problématiques, n’a actuellement pas fait l’objet d’une revue de la littérature pour le traitement de la spasticité. L’objectif de celle-ci, consiste donc à évaluer l’effet des différentes thérapies thermiques sur la spasticité des patients post-AVC. Méthodologie Une recherche sur les bases de données PubMed, CINAHL, PEDRO et Embase a permis de retenir cinq RCT, incluant 149 patients. Résultats Deux études traitent de thermothérapie, deux de cryothérapie et une de thérapie thermique par contraste. La thermothérapie a démontré un effet significatif intergroupe directement et 30 minutes après l’intervention au MAS et sur l’onde F, en plus d’un effet cumulatif après 4 semaines de traitement. La cryothérapie démontre également un effet intergroupe directement et 4 semaines après l’intervention au MAS. Toutefois, le protocole de thérapie thermique par contraste n’a pas montré de résultats significatifs après 6 semaines d’intervention. Discussion Une recommandation faible selon le GRADE concernant l’utilisation de thérapie thermique pour traiter la spasticité peut être émise. Des études de meilleure qualité sont nécessaires pour augmenter le niveau de recommandation ainsi que pour connaitre les effets de l’utilisation des différentes thérapies thermiques sur la fonction des patients.

description: The Solanum torvum largest family Solanaceae, contains many species that are found both in the wild and under cultivation around the world. This family includes a large number of domesticated species that make substantial contributions to the food business. A number of species in the solanaceae family, which is the largest, are found all over the world in both wild and cultivated forms. Many domesticated species from this family contribute a significant amount of the food industry. Solanum torvum, which is also utilised as rootstock for produced Solanaceae, has the ability to escape from its natural habitats, altering native vegetation and modifying interactions with other species. The plant has been utilised as a hepatoprotective agent in Indian traditional medicine and its fruits are utilised as a nervous tonic in mexican traditional medicine. But when it comes to treating gastrohelcosis, leaves and berries are especially in essential.

description: Slums may be a by-product of the urbanization process in a developing country like Bangladesh. The slum dwellers' lack of energy awareness is the primary impediment to domestic energy savings. In countries such as Bangladesh, where wages are extremely low, energy awareness is primarily focused on behavioural issues. This study presents the results of an energy awareness feedback program on the energy-efficient behaviours of various groups of slum occupants in Chittagong, Bangladesh. All slum occupants are classified here according to their housing structure andeconomic circumstances. Initially, occupants are informed about the varioussolutions and opportunities for energy conservation through low- or no-cost measures.Following that, a survey was conducted (between May and June 2020) in 54individual houses (similar in size but with varying housing structures and economicconditions) in slum areas to ascertain the impact of efficient energy behaviour onlighting and appliances. A statistical analysis (two-way ANOVA) was conducted todetermine the efficient energy behaviour trends associated with the selected housinggroups' structure and economic conditions. The study will aid in the implementationof several actions aimed at addressing various energy-efficiency issues affecting low-income communities in Bangladesh.

description: The results of spectral observations in the $\sim 84-92$ GHz frequency range of six objects in the southern sky containing dense cores and associated with regions of massive stars and star clusters formation are presented. The observations were carried out with the MOPRA-22m radio telescope. Within the framework of the local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) approximation, the column densities and abundances of the H$^{13}$CN, H$^{13}$CO$^+$, HN$^{13}$C, HC$_3$N, c-C$_3$H$_2$, SiO, CH$_3$C$_2$H and CH$_3$CN molecules are calculated. Estimates of kinetic temperatures ($\sim 30-50$ K), sizes of emission regions ($\sim 0.2-3.1$ pc) and virial masses ($\sim 70-4600~M_{\odot}$) are obtained. The line widths in the three cores decrease with increasing distance from the center. In four cores, asymmetry in the profiles of the optically thick lines HCO$^+$(1-0) and HCN(1-0) is observed, indicating the presence of systematic motions along the line of sight. In two cases, the asymmetry can be caused by contraction of gas. The model spectral maps of HCO$^+$(1-0) and H$^{13}$CO$^+$(1-0), obtained within the framework of the non-LTE spherically symmetric model, are fitted into the observed ones. The radial profiles of density ($\propto r^{-1.6}$), turbulent velocity ($\propto r^{-0.2}$), and contraction velocity ($\propto r^{0.5}$) in the G268.42--0.85 core have been calculated. The contraction velocity profile differs from that expected both in the case of free fall of gas onto a protostar ($\propto r^{-0.5}$), and in the case of global core collapse (contraction velocity does not depend on distance). A discussion of the obtained results is provided.
