description: In questo contributo ci soffermeremo sul ruolo che Guglielmo attribuisce alla ragione, in rapporto a un tema fondamentale nella spiritualità cistercense: quello dell’esperienza, e in particolare dell’esperienza di Dio. Vedremo come la ragione venga assunta in maniera positiva in tutte le sue funzioni e potenzialità, e come allo stesso tempo ne siano enunciati anche i limiti. Si muoverà da una definizione della ragione e da un’individuazione delle sue funzioni, e saranno presi in considerazione i temi del rapporto fra ragione e linguaggio, e dunque il ruolo, la portata e il limite delle parole nell’elaborazione e nella capacità significante di un linguaggio teologico; il rapporto tra. ragione e coscienza; la funzione della ragione nella vita spirituale, con riferimento alla vita spirituale cristiana nella considerazione dei vari aspetti della personalità del credente; la ragione, cioè, nel suo rapporto con la volontà, con le virtù, con l’amore. In this article I look at the role that William of St Thierry attributes to reason, in relation to a fundamental theme of Cistercian spirituality: that of experience and, in particular, experience of God. Reason in all its functions and potentialities is seen in a positive light, but at the same time its limits are likewise drawn. After a definition of reason and a singling out of its functions, I will consider the relation between reason and language, hence also the role, the import, and the limit of words in elaborating and giving meaning to a theological language; the relation between reason and conscience; the function of reason in spiritual life, with reference to the various aspects of the believer’s personality; reason in its relation to will, to the virtues, to love.

description: Swimming is one of the most popular recreational and competitive sporting activities. In the 2013/2014 swimming season, 9630 men and 12,333 women were registered with the National Collegiate Athletics Association in the USA. The repetitive nature of the swimming stroke and demanding training programs of its athletes raises a number of concerns regarding incidence and severity of injuries that a swimmer might experience during a competitive season. A number of risk factors have previously been identified but the level of evidence from individual studies, as well as the level of certainty that these factors predispose a swimmer to pain and injury, to our knowledge has yet to be critically evaluated in a systematic review. Therefore, the primary objective of this review is to conduct a systematic review to critically assess the published evidence for risk factors that may predispose a swimmer to shoulder pain and injury. Three electronic databases, ScienceDirect, PubMed and SpringerLink, were searched using keywords “(Injury OR pain) AND (Swim*)” and “(Shoulder) AND (Swim*)”. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 2731 unique titles were identified and were analyzed to a final 29 articles. Only articles with a level of evidence of I, II and III were included according to robust study design and data analysis. The level of certainty for each risk factor was determined. No studies were determined to have a high level of certainty, clinical joint laxity and instability, internal/external rotation, previous history of pain and injury and competitive level were determined to have a moderate level of certainty. All other risk factors were evaluated as having a low level of certainty. Although several risk factors were identified from the reviewed studies, prospective cohort studies, larger sample sizes, consistent and robust measures of risk should be employed in future research.

description: our time. However, it is very difficult for many cities to take measures to accommodate today’s needs concerning e.g. mobility, housing and work, because a consistent fine-granular data and information on causal chains is largely missing. This has the potential to change, as today, both large-scale basic data as well as new promising measuring approaches are becoming available. The project “SmartAQnet”, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI), is based on a pragmatic, data driven approach, which for the first time combines existing data sets with a networked mobile measurement strategy in the urban space. By connecting open data, such as weather data or development plans, remote sensing of influencing factors, and new mobile measurement approaches, such as participatory sensing with low-cost sensor technology, “scientific scouts” (autonomous, mobile smart dust measurement device that is auto-calibrated to a high-quality reference instrument within an intelligent monitoring network) and demand-oriented measurements by light-weight UAVs, a novel measuring and analysis concept is created within the model region of Augsburg, Germany. In addition to novel analytics, a prototypical technology stack is planned which, through modern analytics methods and Big Data and IoT technologies, enables application in a scalable way.
Dall’ubi amor, ibi oculus alla condilectio. Note su reciprocità, amore e conoscenza in Riccardo di San Vittore
Creators: name: Penna, Davide
Publisher: name: Doctor Virtualis
Year: 2020

description: L’argomento che si intende sviluppare nel presente intervento è quello del rapporto di reciprocità tra amore e conoscenza nella riflessione mistica di Riccardo di San Vittore, autore di alcune delle pagine più belle sulla dignità conoscitiva dell’amore nella filosofia medievale. Si metterà a fuoco come la prospettiva mistica e il linguaggio metaforico descrivano un preciso percorso conoscitivo nel quale il soggetto si assimila all’oggetto conosciuto in una dinamica che, analogicamente, riprende la relazione tra amante e amato. In particolare, assumendo come note le riflessioni di Riccardo circa la contemplazione, avanzate nei libri quarto e quinto del De arca mystica (o Beniamin Maior), ci si volgerà all’approfondimento della dimensione trinitaria, trattata sia nello scritto sopra citato, in quanto oggetto dell’ultimo tipo di contemplazione (quello dell’intelligentia praeter rationem), sia, e soprattutto, nel De Trinitate, in quanto fonte e figura dell’amore e, dunque, del suo rapporto con la dimensione conoscitiva. Si tenterà di chiarificare la visione riccardiana circa la reciprocità di amore e conoscenza e, successivamente, si mostrerà come la forma (intensa nel senso di fonte e principio) di tale rapporto sia la vita trinitaria. The topic that we intend to develop in this essay is the relationship between love and knowledge in the mystical reflection of Richard of Saint Victor, author of some of the most significant pages on the cognitive dignity of love in medieval philosophy. It will focus on mystical perspective and metaphorical language and how these dimensions describe a precise cognitive strategy in which the subject is assimilated to the known object in a dynamic that takes up the relationship between lover and loved one. In particular, taking as notes the reflections of Richard about contemplation, advanced in the fourth and fifth books of De arca mystica (or Beniamin Maior), we will turn to the deepening of the Trinitarian dimension as an object of the last type of contemplation (intelligentia praeter rationem), both, and above all, in the De Trinitate, as a source and figure of love and, therefore, of its relationship with the cognitive dimension. An attempt will be made to clarify the Richard’s view of the reciprocity of love and knowledge and, subsequently, it will be shown how the form (understood as source and principle) of this relationship is the Trinitarian life.

description: Site visits, sometimes also called audit visits, are part of the quality assurance process of field studies. Their aim is to evaluate how well provided standardized protocols are followed in different circumstances, cultures and infrastructures. In case of combined human biomonitoring (HBM) and health studies in Europe, this refers to the standardized protocol for combined HBM-HES study prepared under HBM4EU. This combined protocol is based on standardized operating protocols (SOPs) for human biomonitoring measures proposed by HBM4EU and protocols by European Health Examination Survey (EHES) for health measurements. The purpose of a site visit is to document observations during an evaluation visit to a fieldwork site, including observations of possible deviations from European level standards. In general, two different levels of deviations may be observed: Even though a European level protocol exists and countries are expected to use it, deviations may exist due to national adaptations. There are generally good reasons for these adaptations such as follow-up of trends from the previous national studies or financial limitations. It may also be, that survey organizers have prepared their local study protocol following the European level standardized protocols but fieldwork staff is not following the protocol which results in deviations from it. In the framework of HBM4EU, site visits will provide information about the comparability of survey methods used in different studies.
 Site visits should be conducted by someone who is not involved in the preparation or conduction of the survey but knows well the European level standardized protocols from HBM4EU and EHES.

description: Small instantons which increase the axion mass due to an appropriate modification of QCD at a UV scale $\Lambda_{\rm SI}$, can also enhance the effect of CP-violating operators to shift the axion potential minimum by an amount, $\theta_{\rm ind}$, proportional to the flavorful couplings in the SMEFT. Since physical observables must be flavor basis independent, we construct a basis of determinant-like flavor invariants that arise from instanton calculations containing the effects of dimension-six CP-odd operators at the scale $\require{cancel}\Lambda_{\cancel{\rm CP}}$. This new basis provides a more reliable estimate of the shift $\theta_{\rm ind}$, that is severely constrained by neutron electric dipole moment experiments. In particular, for the case of four-quark, semi-leptonic and gluon dipole operators, these invariants are then used to provide improved limits on the ratio of scales $\require{cancel}\Lambda_{\rm SI}/\Lambda_{\cancel{\rm CP}}$ for different flavor scenarios. The CP-odd flavor invariants also provide a classification of the leading effects from Wilson coefficients, and as an example, we show that a semi-leptonic four-fermion operator is subdominant compared to the four-quark operators. More generally, the flavor invariants, together with an instanton NDA, can be used to more accurately estimate small instanton effects in the axion potential that arise from any SMEFT operator.

description: Many growth hormone (GH) products require refrigeration after first use or reconstitution. This may reduce adherence by affecting patients’ daily activities. Persistent treatment adherence is essential for effective GH therapy. A web-based survey was used to compare the impact of storage-flexible GH products (stable at room temperature [<25°C] for up to 21 days after first use) with refrigeration-only GH products on patients’ and caregivers’ daily lives. Compared with refrigeration-only GH products, storage-flexible GH products were associated with shorter injection times, greater adherence, less GH wastage and fewer missed activities due to difficulties with injection, and were the preferred type of GH product. When offered a choice of GH product, the majority of patients chose a storage-flexible product.

description: Many medical devices offer improvements over current care that may be difficult to assess using standard methods of economic benefit measurement such as the quality-adjusted life-year (QALY). The objective of this research was to explore the extent to which these benefits have been measured and valued by alternative approaches, such as willingness-to-pay studies or discrete choice experiments. We undertook a systematic review of the literature from 1996 to 2013 to identify empirical studies on the benefits of medical devices using the alternative methodologies. The search resulted in 2772 hits, of which 2016 were considered not relevant to the study and 76 were duplicates. After further examination, there were 30 relevant empirical studies, of which 18 were willingness-to-pay and 12 discrete choice experiments. This research demonstrates that while it is feasible to measure and value the attributes of devices using alternative approaches to standard quality-of-life measures, the literature is quite limited when compared with that for non-device technologies.

description: For many fishes, reproducing early in the year may present tradeoffs for the offspring: the drawbacks associated with harsh environmental conditions may be offset by advantages in competition for food and space. We investigated this tradeoff in a system where hatchery-origin steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss were bred to spawn about 4 months earlier than wild-origin fish. Hatchery-origin adults were released into the wild and spawned in common with wild steelhead. Naturally spawned offspring from these matings were assigned to hatchery, wild, and hybrid lineages by using a panel of 96 single-nucleotide polymorphisms. We then evaluated whether fry abundance, body size and condition, and geographic distribution differed based on parental lineage. The observed mixture proportions were 0.007 hatchery-lineage, 0.289 hybrid, and 0.704 wild-lineage juveniles, despite the predominance of hatchery-origin parents. There were significant differences in FL (hatchery > hybrid > wild) but no difference in body condition. We modeled the emergence dates of the sampled fry and estimated that 96.0% of wild-lineage fish emerged after the arrival of temperate spring conditions (reduced flows and warmer temperatures) compared with 80.4% of hybrids and 41.2% of hatchery-lineage fish. We hypothesize that the low abundance of pure hatchery-lineage fry may be due to a mismatch between the timing of breeding by the parents and suitable river conditions, resulting in low survival and physical displacement of hatchery-lineage fry from the system. Thus, the advantages of early emergence and large size associated with hatchery origin did not mitigate the disadvantages of early spawning in this case.Received February 5, 2015; accepted May 22, 2015
title: Understanding sensory spaces through evaluating the impact of vibrations
Creators: name: Vora, Mahima Ashish
Publisher: name: University of Southampton
Year: 2023

description: This study explores how structural vibrations affect how people perceive and behave in sensory environments. The layout of these rooms has a big impact on people's mental, emotional, and physical health. In order to align the user needs in particular circumstances, it is necessary to update outdated standards and guidelines controlling vibration design. a method that combines behavioural observations that are both qualitative and quantitative. How people respond to vibrations in various contexts is studied through ethnography. Participants rate their level of irritation after experiencing various vibration levels in various scenarios while wearing virtual reality headsets. The inadequacy of current vibrations standards and its impact on conservative design are highlighted through a literature review, live case studies, and behavioural experiment analysis. Predictive models for how vibrations are perceived by people need to be revised immediately. By incorporating these ideas early in the design phase, vibration mitigation and its negative impacts can be avoided during construction.

description: The presence of ecologically similar nonnative species may impede recovery efforts for native species. We assessed the survival and growth of juvenile Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar from three populations (LaHave River, Sebago Lake, and Lac Saint-Jean) in the presence of four naturalized nonnative salmonid competitors. The three populations are being used for reintroduction efforts in Lake Ontario, where Atlantic Salmon are extirpated. Juvenile Atlantic Salmon were placed into artificial stream tanks with combinations of juvenile Brown Trout S. trutta, Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, Chinook Salmon O. tshawytscha, and Coho Salmon O. kisutch. Survival of all three Atlantic Salmon populations was lower in the presence of Brown Trout; growth was lower in the Brown Trout treatment and in the multispecies treatment. In contrast, Atlantic Salmon survival and growth were not negatively impacted by the presence of Chinook Salmon, Rainbow Trout, or Coho Salmon. Based on measurements of circulating hormones, Atlantic Salmon were not chronically stressed and did not show a change in social status after 10 months in the artificial stream tanks. Our results support the theory that differences in aggression and niche overlap can influence competitive outcomes and suggest that tributaries containing Brown Trout should be avoided during Atlantic Salmon reintroduction into Lake Ontario.Received March 3, 2015; accepted June 17, 2015

Abstract:

Training on citizen science is starting to become a demanding activity in a variety of contexts and by a variety of stakeholders. We want here to share our own experiences offering training programs. First context was developed with public libraries and considering public libraries as community hubs and library professionals as facilitators. In a first level, it was oriented to introduce citizen science to professionals of 25 public libraries in the Barcelona region and to cocreate a list of meaningful citizen projects according to their perspectives and their particular contexts. On a deeper level, we also offered training to 4 public libraries and their professionals. As citizen science practitioners we were accompanying them and offering them support in the cocreation of a new citizen science experiment with their own library users. Within the current efforts to transform research universities, we have also recently developed a certified training program of 4 hours and 10 hours within the Universitat de Barcelona. The joint effort of TORCH, SENSE and CitizenScience NOW European funded projects has led to a training that emphasises social dimensions and encourages citizen science practices in deep collaboration with civil society organisations. The citizen science approach was aiming to give the capacity to deliver evidence-based policy recommendations and empower communities. Other exercises under the form of summer schools and workshops have also helped to construct a program that transversally focuses on 6 transversal aspects: communities, action, digital tools, data, ethics, and inclusion and co-creation. Following the same approach, we have also delivered a similar training in an innovative recent master program on Sustainability that involves 4 European universities and as part of the social innovation module. We will analyse main outcomes of these variety of training programs and the remaining challenges in each of the settings and contexts. We hope that our learnings may help other related initiatives flourishing worldwide.

description: Рассмотренные характеристики Северного морского пути (СМП), атомных ледоколов и их судовой энергетики показывают целесообразность энергоснабжения береговых потребителей с использованием судовых реакторных устройств (РУ) типа атомных станций малой мощности (АСММ), что позволяет унифицировать и тиражировать энергоустановки. Для Арктики и СМП применение АСММ, дополненной шиной постоянного тока и наличием накопителей, является безальтернативным решением в части автономии, снижения выброса диоксидов углерода и азота, отсутствием обслуживания и дистанционным цифровым управлением. Рассмотренные альтернативные варианты энергообеспечения стационарных и мобильных установок наземного, надводного и подводного базирования на сжиженном природном газе (СПГ) предусматривают использование авиационных газовых турбин мощностью до 5 МВт, а для установок морского базирования корабельных газовых турбин мощностью от 30 МВт с применением накопителей электроэнергии, мощность которых зависит от пиковой мощности потребителей.

description: We propose serial correlation-robust asymptotic confidence bands for the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and its functional, viz. the area under ROC curve (AUC), estimated by quasi-maximum likelihood in the binormal model. Our simulation experiments confirm that this new method performs fairly well in finite samples, and confers an additional measure of robustness to non-normality. The conventional procedure is found to be markedly undersized in terms of yielding empirical coverage probabilities lower than the nominal level, especially when the serial correlation is strong. An example from macroeconomic forecasting demonstrates the importance of accounting for serial correlation when the probability forecasts for real GDP declines are evaluated using ROC.

description: Предлагается подход для формулировки задачи многокритериальной оптимизации при управлении генерацией в микро-энергосистеме (microgrid), представленной в виде мультиагентной системы (МАС). Предлагаемый в работе подход основан на схеме, разработанной для оценки эффективности функционирования как микрогрид в целом, так и отдельных её фрагментов (агентов-субъектов), что позволяет формализовать процесс интеграции разнородных целевых функций в единые критерии по определенным типовым индексам эффективности функционирования микроэнергосистемы: технические, экономические и экологические критерии. Схема алгоритма оценки эффективности функционирования микроэнергосистемы построена на примере проектирования гибридно-генерирующей и экологически безопасной тепло-электро-снабжающей системы арктического анклава.

FRONTSH1P_D4.7 Ecodesign case studies CSS2 - Framework for the Ecodesign activities
Creators: name: LNEG
Publisher: name: FRONTHS1P Project
Year: 2023

description: The aim of the Ecodesign approach within the FRONTSH1P project is to identify measures that  have the strongest leverage for an environmentally oriented improvement of a product or value chain, which will:• Provide guidelines for LCA and S-LCA, integrating a circular design perspective and needs,• Allow the identification of the circular design strategies, based on a tool developed in a previous project on circular design (the KATCH_e CE Designer tool- www.katche.eu) with more potential for the identified products,• Lead to the identification of improvement opportunities and measures for the strategies – illustrated with examples and case studies.

Additionally, the Ecodesign activity within FRONTSH1P includes structuring the information, data, methodologies, and guidelines to support the development of the tool within WP7.

In view of this, the content of the present document is in accordance with the description of the activity in the Grant Agreement and goes beyond the designation of the respective deliverable

.The methodology used to implement Ecodesign in FRONTSH1P relies on the analysis of value chains involved in the CSS’s, the mapping of environmental, social and economic value losses and the identification of opportunities to capture/recover that value, through the application of Ecodesign strategies and criteria. Five steps are undertaken, using specific templates that were created for each CSS using the ‘Mural’ collaborative platform:• step 1 - the identification of all actors in the CSS’s value chain,• step 2 - the identification of the interactions between them,• step 3 - the identification of value losses (environmental, economic and social),• step 4 - the identification of Ecodesign opportunities based on the losses from step 3,• step 5 - development of guidelines for improvement of the product, service, process and business model.

The resources developed to support the methodology are also presented in this document:• Indicators and data needs,• Checklists for value losses and opportunities identification,• Circular design strategies and criteria,• Examples and case studies.

The method is applied and tested to the CSS that is under LNEG’s responsibility (CSS3), given that the Ecodesign team had easier access to more in-depth data and information from coworkers; this activity will be replicated in the other CSS’s

description: Background: Enucleation (eye removal) is often the only curative treatment for the childhood eye cancer retinoblastoma, yet parental refusal of enucleation commonly contributes to treatment delay and poor survival globally. Methods: Physicians who treat retinoblastoma were surveyed to glean underlying reasons for treatment refusal. Results: Refusal rates were higher when less time was spent with parents explaining retinoblastoma/enucleation, and where fewer support services were available. Reasons for refusal included parental belief in alternative treatments, culture, and social stigma. Conclusions: We suggest strategies to increase parental compliance with enucleation and save the lives of children with retinoblastoma.

description: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an aggressive cancer histotype and one of the most common types of cancer worldwide. The identification of compounds that might intervene to restrain neoplastic cell growth appears imperative due to its elevated overall mortality. The marine environment represents a reservoir rich in bioactive compounds in terms of primary and secondary metabolites produced by aquatic animals, mainly invertebrates. In the present study, we determined whether the water-soluble cell-free extract of the coelomic fluid (CFE) of the edible sea cucumber Holothuria tubulosa could play an anti-HCC role in vitro by analyzing the viability and locomotory behavior, cell cycle distribution, apoptosis and autophagy modulation, mitochondrial function and cell redox state of HepG2 HCC cells. We showed that CFE causes an early block in the cell cycle at the G2/M phase, which is coupled to oxidative stress promotion, autophagosome depletion and mitochondrial dysfunction ultimately leading to apoptotic death. We also performed a proteomic analysis of CFE identifying a number of proteins that are seemingly responsible for anti-cancer effects. In conclusion, H. tubulosa’s CFE merits further investigation to develop novel promising anti-HCC prevention and/or treatment agents and also beneficial supplements for formulation of functional foods and food packaging material.

title: Roof daylighting for preserving artworks while enhancing visitor experience in London
Creators: name: Agrawal, Aditi

Publisher: name: University of Southampton
Year: 2023

description: Museums play a crucial role in preserving and displaying cultural artefacts. Museums consume a huge amount of energy and typically operate on a 10:00 to 17:00 hour cycle. Hence, incorporating carbon and cost-free daylight is imperative for creating a low energy museum. However, the idea of lighting a museum with daylight resonates as a complex concept. The tangible complexity of the research is undertaken with three distinct and applicable case studies based in London to help understand the use of daylight to its maximum potential. Useful Daylight Illuminance (UDI) tests are carried out for the entire year, but with the help of a typical sunny summer day, the study evaluates the extremities of light in a day and the impact of roof daylighting on visual comfort. It brings along the intangible complexities in a space which includes the user experience, and perception, investigated through designed questionnaires, and observations at site visits. The research concludes the implementation of an adaptable hybrid roof daylighting strategy as pragmatic for preserving artworks while enhancing visitor experience.
