description: Humor in Japanese and United States Popular Culture: A Comparative Media Analysis of Humor as Cultural and Social Phenomenon Taking a post-colonial approach to culture as a discursive hybrid construct, this article examines the supposed cultural coding of humor through a comparative analysis of contemporary comedy shows from Japan and the USA. This research interest is grounded in a trans-societal consensus on the asserted cultural connotation of humor. However, a closer look reveals that a self-evident cultural coding of humor has to be questioned since the underlying discourses about culture and humor are in constant change. Through a media studies analysis, it is examined whether the construction of humor in the subjects of different origin countries (Saborīman Kantarō, Tōkyō Tarareba Musume, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and Great News) actually differs and to what extent possible findings can be traced back to cultural coding. To narrow down the focus, the respective representations of heteronormative gender roles and expectations in the context of family and career, as well as their representations in popular culture, are examined.

description: Dans le domaine de l'injection des pièces en polymère, la régulation thermique des moules est un enjeu fondamental dans le sens où la qualité des pièces ainsi que leur fréquence de production en dépend. Ainsi, la température de la surface moulante doit être la plus uniforme possible. En outre, une réduction de l'inertie thermique du moule est souhaitable afin de raccourcir la durée des cycles de moulage. Actuellement le refroidissement du moule est effectué à l'aide d'une circulation d'eau qui permet une excellente efficacité thermique. Cependant, cette technologie induit une inhomogénéité de température de la surface moulante et la détérioration des canaux par encrassement et corrosion. La solution proposée consiste à insérer dans le moule une mousse métallique refroidie par air. Les mousses métalliques sont utilisées dans de nombreuses applications : elles contribuent à l'allègement des pièces métalliques, tout en leur assurant une grande rigidité mécanique. Cependant, par rapport à une pièce massive, l'efficacité du transfert de chaleur conductif est moindre. Nous avons pour objectif de la compenser par insertion des caloducs. Dans ce but, un banc expérimental est mis en place. Les mousses sont percées selon leur hauteur de quatre trous cylindriques non débouchant, pour accueillir des caloducs. Elles sont chauffées sur leur paroi inférieure par un bloc en acier simulant le polymère à refroidir. Le refroidissement est effectué soit par convection naturelle, soit par convection forcée d'air au sein de la mousse. Des thermocouples placés sur les parois et autour de la mousse permettent de déterminer l'efficacité thermique du système ainsi que sa capacité à homogénéiser la température au sein de la mousse. Un modèle nodal déterminant le champ de température dans le système mousse-caloducs est construit. L'inversion de ce problème par identification avec les résultats expérimentaux permet de retrouver les paramètres influant sur son efficacité thermique : conductivité thermique effective de la mousse, coefficients d'échange convectif, résistance de contact caloduc/mousse. Cette étude expérimentale montre qu'un soufflage d'air au sein de la mousse peut permettre le refroidissement efficace du moule, si tant est que la vitesse d'air est suffisamment élevée. Lorsque la vitesse d'air est faible ou lorsque la convection est naturelle, les caloducs permettent alors une augmentation significative de l'efficacité du transfert de chaleur dans le bloc de mousse ou de l'homogénéité de sa température.

description: La qualité surfacique sans défaut des produits verriers est l'enjeu majeur pour l'industrie verrière de luxe. Cette qualité de produit est fortement liée à la maitrise du contact verre-métal et au vieillissement des outillages. La mise en forme du verre génère des phénomènes de contact complexes qui peuvent conduire au collage, avec notamment une influence des transferts thermiques importants entre le verre et le moule. Une étude bibliographique concernant les bancs d'essais développés pour étudier les différentes problématiques de contact verre/moule, a permis de mieux comprendre les phénomènes susceptibles d'apparaitre lors du contact et les phénomènes les plus importants à étudier. Il a été conclu que l'étude de transfert thermique et de collage est très importante. Le succès du formage du verre dépend alors de la parfaite maitrise de ces phénomènes pour éviter l'apparition de défauts sur la surface du verre. Les présents travaux concernent la conception d'un banc expérimental instrumenté permettant de reproduire les conditions industrielles au moment du contact verre/moule. Ce banc est capable de caractériser l'échange thermique et d'évaluer l'adhérence entre le verre à haute température et les différents matériaux représentant la surface de contact du moule. Les paramètres de l'étude sont la pression de contact, le temps de contact et les températures initiales du verre et du moule. Leur influence est mise en évidence au travers de résultats sur les profils de température et les efforts de retraits, caractéristiques des phénomènes d'adhérence rencontrés. Cette communication décrit le dispositif expérimental qui a été dimensionné pour reproduire les conditions de contact rencontrées en milieu verrier avec la possibilité de mesurer parallèlement l'effort de retrait et d'évaluer l'échange thermique dans des gammes de température peu étudiées à ce jour. Les premiers résultats en termes d'évolution de la température dans le moule et l'effort de retrait après le contact sont présentés pour différentes pressions de contact et différentes températures initiales de verre.

description: Domestic Politics 2016/2017 This chapter summarizes major developments in Japanese domestic politics from September 2016 through August 2017. During this period, a series of scandals and resignations resulted in a slide in the previously high approval ratings of Prime Minister Abe’s Cabinet. However, the electorate no longer views the Democratic Party, the largest opposition party, as a viable alternative. Instead, voters have once again rallied behind a ›third force‹ party, Yuriko Koike’s Tomin First, which won a landslide victory in the Tokyo prefectural assembly election. This chapter will discuss recent developments pertaining to the abdication of the Emperor and to the energy policy in Japan, as well as the Prime Minister’s newest constitutional amendment proposals.

In 2019, I immigrated to Canada from the Philippines : Here is my story

description: Identity formation is a difficult process for members of the diasporic community, including the Filipino diasporic community. As the anonymous artist discusses, there are a lot of dynamics to consider – Am I abandoning people from the Philippines? To what extent do I embody a Canadian versus Filipino identity? How do people think about my English – is it too Filipino-accented for me to sound Canadian, or is it too Canadian-accented for me to sound Filipino? Ultimately, the big question is “Who am I?” While it’s a cliché to talk about this question, it’s a cliché precisely because of how commonplace it is. The anonymous artist decided to use a novel medium to explore all these ideas, and to ask a very important question – in the Filipino context, how might the interplay of colonial and nativist influences affect the experience of acculturation among Filipinos migrating to another context with an interplay between a different colonial influence, progressivism, and cultural protectionism?

description: The Peace Constitution and its Defenders: Protests in Defense of Article 9? The Japanese peace constitution has remained unchanged for the past 70 years. However, Japanese politicians succeeded in bypassing the normative restrictions of Article 9 by means of new interpretations and bills. On some of these occasions the Japanese people reacted with massive protests. Two of these protests will be explored in this paper, by comparing the perspectives of the 1960 Anpo protests and the 2015 protests against the security bills. The results call the characterization of the Anpo protests as a movement protecting the peace constitution into question.

description: Recent Developments and Trends in Japanese Foreign Policy 2016/2017: Japan’s Reaction to Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un In 2016 and 2017, Japan’s security has continued to be challenged by the Chinese military buildup in the South China Sea and its continued intrusion into Japanese territory around the Senkaku Islands. However, two factors have significantly increased Japan’s insecurity: the successful ICBM rocket launches by North Korea in June and July 2017, and the election of Donald Trump to the US presidency in November 2016. In both cases, Japan reacted proactively, engaging with the new American administration and using United Nation resolutions and sanctions in the case of North Korea. While Trump has withdrawn the US from the TPP, the E.U. and Japan were able to conclude a new economic and strategic partnership agreement in July 2017. This article analyzes these developments and examines Japan’s bilateral relations with its most important partners, as well as its security, international trade and development policy.

description: Tōkyō’s New Strategy in the Asia-Pacific Region: A Comparative Analysis of Current Developments in Japan’s Regional Security Policy Since Prime Minister Abe has announced his new foreign policy strategy for the Asia-Pacific in mid-2014, Japan has been deepening its bilateral security cooperation and has attempted to implement a new strategic vision for regional security by introducing its ›Pivot South‹ strategy. While the US-Japan bilateral alliance has been exhaustively examined by existing research – both against the backdrop of the changing global security posture since 9/11 and with respect to Japan’s role in the Pivot to Asia strategy announced by President Obama in 2012 – there remains a lack of comprehensive comparative and empirical studies about current Japanese security efforts in Southeast Asia. Thus, the objective of this article is to clarify to what extent the strategic focus of Japan’s security policy in Southeast Asia has shifted under the Abe administration and to identify the new strategy areas that Japan is increasingly pursuing in its cooperation with regional actors, outside of the bilateral alliance with the United States. Using a small-N case study design, the analysis detailed here focuses on several variables (such as ministerial and military exchanges and exercises between the Japan Self-Defense Forces and Southeast Asian countries) to determine whether the hypothesis of an increased Japanese security awareness towards the region can be supported. An analysis of the accumulated data, which considers the timespan, intensity, place and content of the cooperation measures, demonstrates that Japan is trying to increase and further diversify its military engagement within the bilateral alliance with the US in the region. On the other hand, including a wider data sample, this analysis contributes to the evolving research discourse on Japan’s alleged new ›Pivot South‹ strategy by providing an extended empirical assessment for the first time. Finally, even though it may seem that Japan has been implementing a new strategic focus in its foreign policy posture, when considering this shift against the backdrop of the US’ Pivot to Asia strategy, the results show that rather than presenting a ›new regional strategy‹ this policy instead serves to reassure and emphasize Tokyo’s commitment to the bilateral alliance with Washington in the Pacific Century.

description: A mobile agent has to find an inert target in some environment that can be a graph or a terrain in the plane. This task is known as treasure hunt. We consider deterministic algorithms for treasure hunt in trees. Our goal is to establish the impact of different kinds of initial knowledge given to the agent on the cost of treasure hunt, defined as the total number of edge traversals until the agent reaches the treasure hidden in some node of the tree. The agent can be initially given either a complete map of the tree rooted at its starting node, with all port numbers marked, or a blind map of the tree rooted at its starting node but without port numbers. It may also be given, or not, the distance from the root to the treasure. This yields four different knowledge types that are partially ordered by their precision. (For example knowing the blind map and the distance is less precise than knowing the complete map and the distance). The penalty of a less precise knowledge type ${\cal T}_2$ over a more precise knowledge type ${\cal T}_1$ measures intuitively the worst-case ratio of the cost of an algorithm supplied with knowledge of type ${\cal T}_2$ over the cost of an algorithm supplied with knowledge of type ${\cal T}_1$. Our main results establish penalties for comparable knowledge types in this partial order. For knowledge types with known distance, the penalty for having a blind map over a complete map turns out to be very large. By contrast, for unknown distance, the penalty of having a blind map over having a complete map is small. When a map is provided (either complete or blind), the penalty of not knowing the distance over knowing it is medium.

description: Digital technologies, such as AI, big data, blockchain, cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT) and VR/AR, have been widely applied in firms and have greatly transformed supply chain management. We collect the annual reports of Chinese listed companies and adopt a machine learning algorithm to construct variables proxying for firms’ adoption of digital technologies, which we call digitalisation. Given the importance of mitigating supply chain volatility nowadays, we empirically show that a higher level of digitalisation can lead to a significant decrease in supply chain volatility measured by the bullwhip effect. We demonstrate that emerging digital technologies are effective in reducing supply chain volatility, among which the adoption of blockchain exhibits the largest impact. We further investigate whether the mitigating effect of digitalisation varies across different firm characteristics. Specifically, we find that mitigation is stronger for firms with more dispersed supply chain networks and a higher level of managerial expertise.

description: Japan, an Economic Health Check: A Crisis of the Economy or a Crisis of Economics? Current indicators point to the positive performance of the Japanese economy: moderate but steady real growth rate, very low unemployment, low (but positive) inflation, a positive current account balance and healthy balance sheets in the private sector. Nevertheless, analyses of and commentary on the Japanese economy often reach contradictory conclusions. For some economists, the historically high public debt and expanded monetary base are not sustainable; this will have dire consequences such as spiraling inflation or a fiscal and bond crisis (although other experts consider these ›anomalies‹ as fully controllable). Depending on the point of view, very different economic policy recommendations have been put forward. This paper looks at the arguments and evidence for the first- and then the secondhand view and also tries to identify their respective underlying convictions. It further argues that the current state of economic theory is not able to provide clear guidance when deciding the issues, and lags behind actual developments instead of being able to positively influence the direction they take. Economic policy makers need to move on, but they may be comforted by the fact that the economy has performed better than expected. Whether this positive economic development is sustainable, however, remains to be seen.

Modèle semi-analytique d'un caloduc capillaire cylindrique en régime transitoire avec conditions aux limites de flux imposés

description: Les modèles numériques des caloducs capillaires deviennent aujourd'hui abondants pour simuler leur fonctionnement en régime permanent ou transitoire. Ils s'appuient le plus souvent sur la résolution des équations bilans par éléments ou volumes finis, ou sur des méthodes plus récentes comme Lattice-Boltzmann. Cependant, tous ces modèles sont encore assez coûteux en temps de calcul pour permettre à la fois un dimensionnement rapide du caloduc et une estimation précise des transferts de chaleur. Ainsi, ces dernières années, un léger retour à l'utilisation de modèles analytiques a été observé.\\ Un modèle analytique en régime permanent pour caloduc cylindrique a été récemment développé pour simuler les transferts par conduction 2D ou 3D au sein de l'enveloppe et de la mèche poreuse du caloduc, ainsi que les écoulements liquide et vapeur. Ce modèle s'appuie sur l'utilisation de transformations intégrales de Fourier et, de manière originale, sur une représentation par quadripôles thermiques des transferts de chaleur. Une résolution analytique directe ou une procédure itérative rapide est mise en place selon la nature des conditions aux limites interne (interface liquide/vapeur) et externes (chauffage, refroidissement et pertes).\\ La présente communication expose le développement d'un modèle en régime transitoire, en partant des modèles en régime permanent. Un cas particulier est ici présenté pour un caloduc capillaire cylindrique soumis à des conditions axisymétriques de flux imposés à l'évaporateur et au condenseur. La démarche de modélisation et la représentation quadripolaire des transferts de chaleur sont établies en appliquant une double transformée intégrale de Fourier (en espace) et de Laplace (en temps). La détermination des champs 1D de pression et de vitesse des écoulements liquide et vapeur est ensuite développée. Alors que la transformée inverse de Fourier s'effectue directement de manière analytique, une méthode numérique standard est utilisée pour permettre le calcul des transformées inverses de Laplace.\\ Les résultats thermohydrauliques du modèle présenté sont comparés à ceux de la littérature pour validation. Dans le cas de flux imposés uniformes, le développement analytique permet également d'introduire des propriétés intrinsèques (impédances et transmittances) du comportement thermohydraulique du caloduc vis-à-vis des sollicitations externes. Les travaux effectués aident ainsi à généraliser la méthode de mise en œuvre de ce type de modèles analytiques pour le dimensionnement des caloducs capillaires.

description: The Japanese Job-Hunting Model: Historic Development and the Current Situation This paper takes a close look at the transition process from university to labor market (shūshoku katsudō) that Japanese students undergo in their last year of study. Based on the premise that Japanese students are supposed to finish their job-hunting while still enrolled at university, countless rules were established that standardized the timeframe of this transition process and defined the function of all those involved. This formalized transition process, which sees undergraduate students committing themselves to employment well before beginning work, was thought to be so effective that labor market expert Hamaguchi called Japan a society without youth labor issues. However, following the long recession, caused by the burst of the so called ›bubble economy‹, and the world financial crisis, belief in the functionality of the transition process became undermined. This change saw several institutional actors (the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, prefectures, and universities) intensify the career support provided to students during the job-hunting process, but not to question the system itself. Based on field studies in the prefecture of Okinawa, this paper examines and evaluates the historical development of university-based career support and its most recent changes. I argue that these structural adjustments may lessen the burden on universities, but do not solve the problems inherent in the transition process itself.

description: »Agri-Womenomics«: A New Step towards Gender Equality in Japan’s Agriculture? In her celebratory speech on the occasion of the Nogyō Joshi (Women Farmers) Project Award in March 2017, the First Lady, Akie Abe, predicted that Japan’s agriculture would have a ›shining future‹, provided that more women can get involved. Within the structural reforms of the Abe administration, measures increasing the competitiveness of the farming sector play an important role. Besides the promotion of farmland consolidation and de-regulation, the enhancement of the workforce is one of the key objectives, as rural areas are suffering from an aging and declining population. The government is focusing particularly on women because while they have been essential to Japan’s farming sector, their share in the farmer’s workforce is steadily decreasing, even falling below the 50 percent mark in 2016. Being aware of the potential of women farmers with regards to diversification, innovation and entrepreneurship, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (MAFF) started new programs and initiatives to promote women in agricultural businesses and to improve their image; these programs have been active since 2014. This article introduces these initiatives and strategies and analyses to what extent they differ from earlier MAFF-initiated policies to support the empowerment of women farmers since 1945. It also explores the extent to which the policy of ›Womenomics‹ influences current agricultural policies. This policy is intensely promoting women’s advancement in the workplace, with the main target of increasing the workforce as a whole in order to boost the Japanese economy. Because agriculture in Japan is dominated by small family farms, where production and family work is commonly closely linked and gender relations are traditionally different from those in urban societies, I argue that the concept of ›Womenomics‹ cannot fully be translated to rural areas. I will show that even if gender relations in rural areas are in the process of change and the involvement of women is diversifying, discrimination persistently exists, especially in regards to land ownership and political participation. Underscoring my argument is the claim that ›Agri-Womenomics‹ seems to be mainly a PR tool for the improvement of the image of agriculture in Japan.

description: Miritarī Otaku: Fascination with ›Moefied‹ War and the German Military Since the beginning of the new millennia a growing market of a pop culture genre called ›moe miritarī‹ has established itself in Japan. In this genre, military-themed content like weapon systems, military history, tactics and many more trends are accompanied by illustrations of ›cute‹ or erotic, mainly female, manga characters. In recent years, games and anime such as Strike Witches, ›kantai korekushon‹ or Girls & Panzer ignited a still-ongoing boom of ›cute‹ girls using or being depicted with military equipment. This paper takes a closer look at the consumers of such products and, by analyzing an interview with a long term ›miritarī otaku‹, or military enthusiast, the article explores why and how ›moe miritarī‹ products are consumed and where the lifelong fascination with the military (in this case the German military during World War Two) springs from. It also looks at why (as well as how) such hobbies are enacted.

description: Computer-mediated concerts can be enjoyed on various devices, from desktop and mobile to VR devices, often supporting multiple devices simultaneously. However, due to the limited accessibility of VR devices, relatively small audience members tend to congregate in VR venues, resulting in diminished unique social experiences. To address this gap and enrich VR concert experiences, we present a novel approach that leverages non-VR user interaction data, specifically chat from audiences watching the same content on a live-streaming platform. Based on an analysis of audience reactions in offline concerts, we designed and prototyped a concert interaction translation system that extracts the level of engagement and emotions from chats and translates them to collective movements, cheers, and singalongs of virtual audience avatars in a VR venue. Our user study (n=48) demonstrates that our system, which combines both movement and audio reactions, significantly enhances the sense of immersion and co-presence than the previous method.

description: British Columbia (BC) has the second-highest Indigenous population in all of Canada with over 60,000 Urban Indigenous Peoples (UIP) in Vancouver (Statistics Canada, 2017). In BC, off-reserve Indigenous households experience one of the highest rates of household food insecurity compared to other ethnicities, which equates to 1 in 3 off-reserve Indigenous households (Li et al., 2016). We can only assume that with COVID-19 this number has increased. Despite the high prevalence, urban Indigenous food insecurity is often underrepresented in food insecurity discourse. The aim of our research is to investigate the complex interplay between oppressive systems that firmly hold urban Indigenous food insecurity in place.

description: The Centre for Blood Research-School of Biomedical Engineering (CBR-SBME) Summer Studentship Program 2021. Abstract: Risk communication and health policy are two important parts of a public health response, especially in an emergency like the COVID-19 pandemic. Educating scientists on health policy and the best practices of risk communication can provide them with beneficial skills for translating their work and research into effective communication for a variety of audiences. Scientists themselves require these skills to ensure that different audiences are accurately informed of evidence. However, scientists working on research relevant to public health emergencies are not traditionally taught about health policy and risk communication. In this project, a review of literature on risk communication was performed in conjunction with interviews of policy professionals and health researchers. From this, the three main goals and six best practices for risk communication for scientists were identified. Finally, this research was then translated into a risk communication and health policy lesson plan for undergraduate and graduate students. The lesson plan includes an explanation of health policy, investigation of risk perception, best practices of risk communication, and finally an analysis of COVID-19 risk communication strategies used in British Columbia. This project highlights the importance of educating young scientists on risk communication and health policy in public health emergencies to ensure the effective communication of evidence.

description: We obtain discrete mixture representations for parametric families of probability distributions on Euclidean spheres, such as the von Mises–Fisher, the Watson and the angular Gaussian families. In addition to several special results we present a general approach to isotropic distribution families that is based on density expansions in terms of special surface harmonics. We discuss the connections to stochastic processes on spheres, in particular random walks, discrete mixture representations derived from spherical diffusions, and the use of Markov representations for the mixing base to obtain representations for families of spherical distributions.
Attention allocation during a proceduralized visual task

description: Introduction.

Conventionally, attentional selection is conceived as an interplay of willful, top-down choices and involuntary, stimulus-driven, bottom-up capture of attention. We hypothesized a different mode based on learned, context-dependent heuristics; a procedural selection - akin to that which governs skilled motor behavior or biases through previous selection requirements or rewards – that occurs without cognitive supervision, therefore, not in alignment with the above conventional dichotomy. This study took advantage of English Reading and contrasted how eye movement patterns in a well-practiced versus a novel, un-practiced, but formally identical task (here, reading text forward versus backwards, respectively), were affected by distraction: when top-down selection is defeated, will the eyes still get to where they need to go?

Methods.

Four conditions were run blocked: Forward versus Backward reading (reading from bottom right to top left corner) each with and without a concurrent 1-back auditory tone-matching task (i.e. Dual- versus Single-task). A Tobii eye-tracker monitored reading; in the 1-back task, observers reported matches with a keypress. 15 participants saw six ~250-word passages (excerpts from Kant) for each condition; tones (played every 2 seconds) were presented over headphones.

Results.

Our analyses focused on average fixation duration: forward, reading backward or with a concurrent task lengthens fixation duration (2x2 repeated measures ANOVA, main effects, p < 0.0001), but most importantly, the interaction – with the concurrent task disproportionately impairing un-practiced, backwards reading(as opposed to familiar, forward reading), was significant, p < 0.0001. Performance in the 1-back task was 93% (SE 1.5) and 86% correct (SE 1.7) for forward and backward reading, respectively.

Conclusions.

We hypothesized that attentional selection during reading has been proceduralized, so puts diminished demands on top-down selection while unfamiliar backwards reading requires greater supervision, making it more susceptible to distraction.

description: The development of textile enterprises and the organization of clusters in our republic are aimed mainly at increasing the competitiveness of their products. To achieve this, it is essential that the raw materials are of good quality and that the ginners supply high quality fiber to ensure its availability. The quality of fiber supplied affects the cost and quality of the fabric.

description: Elevated homocysteine (Hcy) levels (≥15 μmol/L) in the elderly are frequently associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline. Several studies have already shown an Hcy-lowering effect of B vitamin supplementation in cohorts deficient in these nutrients. The aim of this randomized, double-blinded 12-week intervention study was to investigate whether Hcy levels in healthy elderly subjects (75.4±4.5 years, n=133) could be lowered with a micronutrient supplement (i.e., 400 μg folic acid, 100 μg cobalamin). Difference in mean initial Hcy levels between intervention (17.6±7.1 μmol/L, n=65) and placebo group (18.9±6.1 μmol/L, n=68) was not significant. The prevalence of cobalamin and folate deficiency in the total study population was low: 27% had serum-cobalamin levels ≤150 pmol/L, 12% holo-transcobalamin (Holo-TC) levels ≤50 pmol/L, 13% low cobalamin status using the aggregated cobalamin marker 4cB12 and 10% red blood cell (RBC) folate ≤570 nmol/L. Nevertheless, the treated subjects still showed improved cobalamin and folate biostatus (serum cobalamin Δt12-t0: 63±48 pmol/L; Holo-TC Δt12-t0: 17±19 pmol/L; RBC folate Δt12-t0: 326±253 nmol/L) and Hcy levels (Δt12-t0: -3.6±5.7 μmol/L). The effects were statistically significant compared to the placebo group with p=0.005 (serum cobalamin), p=0.021 (Holo-TC), p=0.014 (RBC-folate) and p<0.001 (Hcy). The Hcy-lowering effect was dependent on the initial Hcy levels (p<0.001). Our findings suggest that elevated Hcy levels in elderly subjects can be lowered regardless of the initial cobalamin and folate biostatus.

description: The exploration of project-based R&D activities supported by public research funding organisations (RFOs) has become a core research issue in science and innovation policy studies. RISIS has a strong focus in responding to this growing interest and related recently increased demand from the research community but also policy makers by maintaining and developing datasets on project-based R&D, both from a performing perspective (EUPRO) as well as from a perspective of R&D funding programs across European countries (EFIL). While EUPRO has been an established RISIS dataset comprising systematic information on European R&D projects and participations (mainly from the FP), it recently shifts – within the new NAPTRO module – attention to the collection and integration of national R&D projects as an important complement to the existing European ones. To cover the funding perspective, EFIL has been set up as a completely new dataset currently under development collecting data on national R&D policy programs at the level of policy instruments. This policy brief discusses the broader conceptual background of the two datasets, the main methodological data collection procedures, but also comes up with some initial illustrative empirical examples underlining the relevance of EFIL and EUPRO/NATPRO both in a research and policy context. The two datasets are not only integrated with each other, but also inter-linked with other datasets of the RISIS data nexus, in particular via RISIS organisation registers enabling to connect with other R&D output oriented datasets on e.g. patents or publications.
