description: Type 1 Diabetes mellitus (T1D) is caused by autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. The incidence of T1D is now twice as high among children as it was two decades ago, and 10 to 20 times more common than 100 years ago [1-2].  The prevalence of T1D in Americans under age 20 rose by 23 percent between 2001 and 2009 (jdrf.org; www.searchfordiabetes.org). Chronically elevated blood glucose levels lead to metabolic and inflammatory changes including glycosylation of proteins that can perturb the function of the immune system and multiple organs. Here we designed a case case-control study to identify abundance differences in the urinary proteome in individuals diagnosed with T1D vs. their healthy siblings in an age range from 3 to 18 to identify candidate protein biomarkers. We used mass spectrometry-based shotgun proteomics (3).

The comparative urinary proteome analysis was performed on a dataset of 618 proteins, 110 of which were differentially abundant with statistical significance (adjusted p-values < 0.05). Thirty-two proteins had a fold change greater than +/-1.4; LRG1, CD14, AZGP1, GM2A, and CTSD were the most upregulated proteins, and SDC4, ICOSLG, CD320, CD44, and INAFM2 were the most downregulated proteins in T1D patients. Protein-protein interaction analysis using the 32 proteins was performed in silico using the PINA2 (4) and IntAct databases (5). The network was uploaded into Cytoscape with the cerebral layout plugin for visualization of interaction. Many of the proteins in this network were localized in one subcellular organelle, the lysosome, and revealed a computationally inferred T1D pathway from CPE (process proinsulin) to INS (insulin), then to CTSD (acid protease), FN1 (fibronectin), LRG1 (involved in granulocyte differentiation), and SDC4 (involved in intracellular signaling). LRG1 and SDC4 were the most upregulated and downregulated proteins, respectively, in the T1D patient cohort.  Both these proteins interact with FN1, a large protein with multiple glycosylation sites playing an important role in wound healing. This pathway and the functions of many differentially abundant proteins suggest that lysosomal metabolic activities are increased in T1D patients.

description: Duisburg was the first German city to establish official relations with a Chinese city, Wuhan. Less out of strategic calculation or recognition of the global significance of China’s reform and opening-up policy, but rather thanks to their common industrial roots in the steel industry, the two cities entered an exchange in 1982. In the following two decades, Duisburg supported Wuhan’s development with technical, administrative, and economic assistance, while the latter committed itself primarily in a symbolic fashion to the partnership. Then, after a period of reduced intensity, the partnership was strengthened anew in the early 2010s. Committed to the initiative of reviving the ancient Silk Road, Duisburg subsequently made this connection with Wuhan, and more generally with China, its distinctive brand. The partnership still exists, despite the significant changes that occurred in the international and national context in the very recent years, and above all in China. The city of Duisburg is firm in maintaining an open-door policy and upholding its ties with Wuhan, thereby deviating from the current mainstream of German and EU orientation. This paper explores the components and characteristics of this seemingly “all-weather” friendly relationship, namely its origins, actors, reasons, and objectives through a historical perspective. It looks first at the very beginning of the partnership with Wuhan, allowing for a better understanding of the history of this city’s commitment to China. Then, it addresses the 2010s, a period in which relations between Duisburg and its Chinese partners have significantly intensified. Finally, it covers the contemporary period, illustrating how the city has adapted its relations with China to the enormous upheavals caused by the politico-economic developments in China, the Covid-19 pandemic, the current war in Ukraine, and the pressures of the domestic and international contexts.

description: As Beijing became the first city in history to successfully host both Summer and Winter Olympic Games, this paper looks into the different visualizations of the two Olympics opening ceremonies in 2008 and 2022. By incorporating the concept of Nation Branding, it features a comparative case study to discuss how China has understood and branded the country through detailed and well-rehearsed artistic presentations in these events. The case study mainly focuses on three layers: role conception, role perception / the formation of brands, and finally the presentation of strategically designed brands. Each layer of comparison answers a specific question, and their combination in turn answers how the difference in artistic presentation may connect with the shifting Chinese nation branding strategies. The result of this paper suggests that the presentations in 2008 and 2022 Olympics opening ceremonies, as the focus shifted from “country and heroism” to “people and togetherness,” generally stood in line with the nation branding strategies performed by the Chinese government throughout this 14-year span.

The Glass Fortress of Anglo-China : 1898-1911

description: Hong Kong was a British colony between 1842 and 1996. In the early periods of the colony’s existence, the colonial government and judiciary were unable to successfully establish British values of law and order, primarily because of inexperience in governing a predominantly Chinese society. Consequently, British leaders in Hong Kong had to learn to adapt their governance to accommodate, but also control, the population of their territory. For the colonial British government and judiciary, Hong Kong’s safety quickly became a point of grave concern. One response to this apparent lack of safety, for instance, was an even more stringent application of colonial law. This thesis examines the period in Hong Kong’s history between 1898 and 1911 as not just a continuation, but evolution, of earlier colonial governance. We center on judicial case studies as the primary source of evidence for this evolution. Colonial attitudes and actions in Hong Kong were, by the turn of the century, highly conservative and utilitarian. These attitudes and reactions are best represented in the metaphor of a “glass fortress.” British leaders intended to portray a sense of strength, safety, and control, both to foreigners as well as those living within the colony, hence the grandiose and domineering appearance of the “glass fortress.” However, British leaders were limited by the realities in the colony, such as its geographic size, social makeup, and insufficient military strength. Additionally, the actions of these leaders were occasionally too aggressive and overbearing. The failure of British leaders to successfully substantiate their approach suggests that the “glass fortress” was, in fact, structurally flawed. In our analysis of the “glass fortress,” we investigate three types of actions, or reactions to developments in Hong Kong, which characterized colonial governance from 1898 to 1911. The first was colonial restraint, in which colonial leaders adopted a seemingly lax approach to governance that was, in fact, meant to prevent the colonial government from overreacting and making serious mistakes. The second type of reaction was colonial discrimination, in which colonial leaders shared an ambivalent relationship with Hong Kong’s Chinese elite, which betrayed the government’s prejudice against the Chinese in the colony. Lastly, we look at the reaction of colonial tyranny, in which the colonial government used disproportionate repression and violent punishment, especially when it feared the possibility of insurrection in Hong Kong.

description: SONNET aims to create an inter- and transdisciplinary understanding of the diversity and processes of social innovations in the energy sector (SIE) using an innovative mixed-method research design. As part of work package 5 of the SONNET project, large sample, demographically representative online surveys were carried out in three European Union (EU) member states: France (FR) (2,096 respondents), Germany (DE) (1,997 respondents) and Poland (PL) (2,048 respondents). The surveys consist of a general part and a specific part focussing on selected SIE. The general part of these surveys investigates socio-economic characteristics, citizens’ values and attitudes, socio-cultural characteristics (incl. gender) and socio-political opinions. This report provides an overview of the main descriptive results of this general part with a focus on those questions that were asked to all participants. Additionally, the survey included experiments, namely stated preference discrete choice experiments, to elicit preferences on specific SIE and SIE characteristics. The results presented in this deliverable reveal differences in behaviours and attitudes (e.g. past and planned participation in different types of SIE initiatives, acceptance of energy technologies, environmental behaviours, trust in different institutions) within and across countries.

description: The goal of this project was to develop an educational environmental science field trip module for BC high school students in grades 8 to 10 at the Delta Nature Reserve in Burns Bog, located in Delta. This module will be used by high school teachers and the Burns Bog Conservation Society to engage students in place-based learning and introductory scientific research. Recent changes to the BC high school curricula emphasize the importance of outdoor learning, a connection to land and place, and Indigenous content. With these changes, there exists the opportunity to update the current field trips provided by the Burns Bog Conservation Society and to make them more grade-specific, introduce field-based research techniques, and emphasize the history of Canadian Indigenous peoples at Burns Bog. We have developed a field trip module divided into three parts, with worksheets and activities to guide high school teachers, field trip leaders, and students before the field trip, during the field trip.

Evolution of 3D Galaxy Sizes with CANDELS

3D galaxy size

description: Although present-day telescopes provide fabulous images of galaxies up to very high redshift, they have a strong limitation: we can see just the 2D projection on the sky of the galaxy's profile. In this work, we present the evolution of the 3D structure of galaxies out to z=3 by deprojecting Sersic profile fits (Nedkova et al. 2021) to optical+near-IR HST/ACS imaging from CANDELS (Koekemoer et al. 2011; Grogin et al. 2011) and stellar mass estimate inferred via fitting the UV-to-mid-IR spectral energy distribution (Leja et al. 2020). We compare the 2D and 3D evolution of the Mass-size relation with redshift showing that, although the half-light radius is barely affected by the deprojection, the overall galaxy's structure deeply changes. Since central density is thought to play a key role in the star-formation histories of galaxies, our work provides a crucial link with those theoretical models that explain the 'quenching' of galaxies.

 The main results summarised in this poster are: We publish the 3D light profiles at a common rest-frame wavelength of 5000Å for more than 40000 galaxies in the redshift range 0.5<z<3 The Size-Stellar Mass distribution (and its evolution) is nearly identical in 2D and 3D: projected size measurements are excellent proxies for intrinsic galaxy sizes An accurate estimate of the central density depends strongly on deprojection, with a significant impact on the empirical relationship between central density and star-formation activity (quenching)

description: A presentation on the discussion (or lack thereof) of diversity and inclusion across a series of reports about the sustainability of the biomedical research enterprise, as part of Subgroup I: Increasing Diversity in a Changing Research Landscape at the American Society for Cell Biology Annual Meeting 2015 in San Diego, CA:

"In response to a tight funding climate and evolving mechanisms for evaluating, sharing, and conducting research, groups of scientists across the U.S. are now discussing ways to improve the research enterprise. Within this research landscape, the goal of building and retaining a diverse workforce is pressing and necessary. People often hear that minorities are underrepresented in STEM and have their own hypotheses of why this may be. During this session, invited speakers will review recent data and efforts to build diversity and respond to the changing landscape of research. This session will include formal presentations and audience-based roundtable discussions to directly address questions, propose solutions, and describe ways we can work to effect change. The session will take the shape of a dialogue rather than a formal lecture as audience input will be welcomed and inform discussion."

D4.7: Readout Optimization V1.0
Creators: name: Silvi, Giorgio

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This document gives an overview of the software delivery D4.7 “Readout Optimization (RO) V1.0”, comprised of the three readout optimization methods for quantum computing measurements that were researched and implemented by HQS Quantum Simulations within the NEASQC project. The software implementations can be found on the NEASQC GitHub [1].

The three measurement optimization methods studied include one utilizing shadow measurement in the context of spectroscopy, one based on enhanced sampling using Bayesian statistics, and one based on projecting the result to fulfill so-called n-representability constraints which may be violated in a noisy quantum computation. The later two were already reported in the earlier NEASQC delivery D4.5 [2], but are included within this document as well for the sake of completeness and reader convenience. The document is structured as follows:

In Chap. 2, we introduce the technique for utilizing the measurement of classical shadows in the context of spectroscopy, a promising use case for near future quantum computing. We also show numerical results. The method was implemented based on a recent paper [3], and implemented on our NEASQC GitHub repository [1], where the associated code can be found here:https://github.com/NEASQC/Variationals_algorithms/tree/main/classic_shadows

Next, in Chap. 3 we discuss the method for enhanced sampling and show some key results, which was already reported in a previous NEASQC deliverable [2]. The software implementation we developed is based on what can be found in literature [4], and we will make the code available in the NEASQC GitHub [1]. Currently, it can be found here:https://github.com/NEASQC/Variationals_algorithms/tree/main/enhanced_sampling

Finally, in Chap. 4 we present briefly the projection method based on n-representability constraints and show selected results (also already reported in the previous deliverable [2]). A detailed analysis can be found in our publication on the subject [5]. The software is available on the NEASQC GitHub[1], with the corresponding code in the following folder:https://github.com/NEASQC/Variationals_algorithms/tree/main/n-rep_projection

description: British Columbia’s Burrard Inlet is recognized internationally as an Important Bird Area (IBA) (IBA Canada, 2017). IBAs are crucial for preserving biodiversity because they include globally important bird populations, and they are internationally accepted as effective conservation tools. The Burrard Inlet was established as an IBA due to the potential threats that residential urbanization, commercial and industrial development, as well as recreational activities pose to the integrity of marine bird communities (IBA Canada, 2017). The Kitsilano shoreline, a component of Burrard Inlet, attracts both people and birds alike. With beaches such as Spanish Banks Beach Park, Jericho Beach Park, and Kitsilano Beach Park, the Kitsilano shoreline is a popular destination for beach use among locals and visitors. Additionally, the region is a critical habitat for numerous species of marine birds, many of which are species of interest (IBA Canada, 2017). Burrard Inlet currently supports 1.5% of the global population of Barrow’s Goldeneye, though it has historically supported 4% of the estimated global population (IBA Canada, 2017). Additionally, Burrard Inlet supports over 7,000 Surf Scoters, 100 Great Blue Herons, and 100 to 500 Western Grebes (IBA Canada, 2017). The City of Vancouver is striving to be the greenest city in the world by 2020. The preservation of the city’s bird biodiversity will be instrumental in achieving this, as it will contribute to meeting Goal 6: Access to Nature (Greenest City: 2020 Action Plan, 2012). To accomplish this, efforts to mitigate the impacts of urbanization on native bird species are critical. Increasing human activity pose threats to bird communities along our coasts and beaches, since recreational activities can disrupt the foraging, courting, and resting behaviours of birds. Therefore, it should be of utmost priority to adopt strategies that encourage beach users to engage in recreational activity in a manner that minimizes the disturbance impacts to marine birds (Vancouver Bird Strategy, 2015). The primary goal of this project is to assess the status of marine bird communities along the Kitsilano shoreline. We completed a series of spatial analyses based on field data collection from November 2017 to February 2018. Additionally, we addressed the observed trends between bird distributions and anthropogenic activities using a combination of quantitative analysis and anecdotal observations. The research questions driving this project: 1) What marine bird species are present along the Kitsilano shoreline between November and February? 2) What are the abundances and spatial distributions of the observed marine bird communities? 3) What human recreational activities are present along the shoreline and is there a trend between human disturbances and marine bird distributions?

description: The Ecuador Non-formal Education Project was administered by the Center for International Education at the University of Massachusetts under a contract with USAID..
description: This document summarizes the range of educational materials developed by the Ecuador project and provides evaluative data. For each of the 34 games investigated, it summarizes the degree of testing received and the extent to which each was used in the field. The games are divided into 3 categories: Fluency, Simulation, and Expressive. Fluency games are simple games designed to teach basic literacy and math skills through enjoyable drill games such as letter dice. Simulation games are usually board games that represent aspects of the realities of life in rural Ecuador with the aim of increasing understanding of contextual forces and developing a more conscious awareness of their impact. Expressive Games are those such as posters, Ashton-Warner dialogue, and use of rubber stamps for printing, to create public ways of displaying ideas and feelings. The article concludes with a discussion of desired attributes of the learning materials, criteria for judging the attributes, and the kinds of learning that they are intended to produce.

Sustainable production

description: Emissions must reach net zero by 2050 to achieve the goal of the Paris Agreement. Also, there is a growing demand for high-precision 3D thin glass components. To reach net zero and meet the market demand, efficient manufacturing technologies need to be developed. In addition, the volatile electricity market makes the implementation of energy-efficient technology a necessity to minimize unit costs. Current processes are both ecologically and economically questionable due to long cycle times, high energy consumption, and low tool lifetime. These aspects can be addressed by Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), where cycle times can be reduced substantially thus enabling low cost and low emission production while retaining high forming accuracy. The ecological assessment of two thin glass forming process chains with the help of LCA is performed. The same glass product will be produced by two different process chains. The main goal is to reduce emissions and unit cost while achieving at least comparable, ideally better, shape accuracy. The LCA can serve as an identification of process optimization potentials. Once these are identified, the process can be optimized using multiple strategies. Three main points will be addressed: Simulative, experimental, and machine learning process development and optimization techniques. This requires deep process knowledge and a fundamental understanding of where emissions, costs, and shape deviations occur. First, the objective and scope of the investigation will be defined. Second, a Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) will be made, defining quantitative process values as well as the functional unit. Last, the impact assessment will provide the ecological impact. An exemplary process chain can be found in Figure 1b. Regarding unit cost, an in-house developed calculation tool will be used to assess the unit cost for both process chains which can be used in an either industrial or scientific setting.
History and Dynamics of Explosive Volcanism at Tseax Cone, British Columbia
Creators: name: Gallo, Rose
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: The eruption of Tseax Cone, approximately 320 years ago, is thought to be the deadliest volcanic eruption in Canadian history, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 2000 people. This small eruptive center in northern British Columbia comprises two cinder cones, a highly dissected spatter cone, a tephra deposit covering an approximate area of 2.2 x 10⁷ m², and a 32 km long lava flow. New geochemical, paleomagnetic, petrographic and field data are drawn upon to propose a new hypothesis that all eruptive materials at Tseax were produced during a single period of activity. The eruptive sequence is shown to begin with low energy fire fountaining forming a small cinder cone approximately 60 m in diameter and a spatter cone 460 m in diameter. Higher energy fountaining activity from a new vent, slightly offset within the spatter cone, and the production of a tephra column slightly more than 5 km high and lasting for approximately one day followed the first eruptive phase. The high energy phase produced a larger cinder cone and a highly asymmetric, northeast elongate, tephra deposit. The final phase of the eruption was the extrusion of the lava flow accompanied by a final sputtering of ballistics from the main vent.
Mechanisms of Post-Hydrothermal Deformation in Orogenic Gold Deposits : A Case Study of the Klondike Gold District, Yukon
Creators: name: Parry, Robert Keagan
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: The Klondike Gold District (KGD) is situated in west-central Yukon, located on the pericratonic Yukon-Tanana Terrane. The region is a major producer of placer gold, famous for the Gold Rush of 1896, and has produced an estimated 10 Moz. of gold (Chapman at al., 2010) derived from gold-bearing quartz veins and greenschist Klondike Schist host rocks. This research investigates the structural controls on mineralization of the Lone Star Ridge area, providing new field observations and interpretations of the sequence of deformation events related to vein formation and gold mineralization. Overprinting relationships of ductile deformation and brittle, mineralized veins in field observations have provided evidence for deformation outlasting hydrothermal vein emplacement, contrary to the post-deformation vein emplacement hypothesis outlined in recently published literature. Detailed petrographic investigations and cathodoluminescence imaging of quartz veins and altered wall rock indicate that post-hydrothermal vein deformation has occurred and that strain partitioning may have played a role in enhancing gold grades. The evidence for post-hydrothermal vein emplacement has broad implications for the deformational history of the KGD, concluding that ductile deformation related to regional thrusting was ongoing though hydrothermal vein emplacement. Historical exploration has focused on discovering lode gold associated with primary hydrothermal veins, whereas the overprinting deformation affecting these veins may have potentially remobilized gold to later precipitate into structures controlled by the overprinting deformation.
Der Begriff der Bildung in Deutschland. Zwischen Philosophie und Pädagogik

description: The article ‒ in its five paragraphs, respectively signed by Giancarla Sola, Andreas Dörpinghaus, Egbert Witte, Rita Casale, Jutta Breithausen ‒ represents an endeavor to reconstruct the concept of “Bildung” in Germany. It does this primarily by moving from the meaning that this word has acquired both in the history of Bildung and in the German and “Mittel”-European history. At this glance toward the past, but also threw in the future, as well as in the present, follows an interconnection of relations between Bildung, Empirie and Erfahrung. This last concept places the idea of “experience” in connection with its hermeneutic comprehension. Therefore, the article also thematizes the dialectical legacy of Hegel and Humboldt in the context of the history of German Philosophy and Pedagogy. Then, the article considers the metamorphosis of Bildung after Nationalsozialismus ‒ from 1945 onwards ‒, analyzing the social-economic and political-legal context through the use of a "critics" capable of digging in the relationship between Bildung and Kultur. The article does that focusing, in its final part, on the concept of Widerstreit ‒ "resistance" –, related to a Skepsis understood also as a possible interpretative category of modernity. Thus, the article, in its overall unity, sizing its axial figure ‒ centered on the cultures of Bildung ‒ placing it on the intersecting planes represented by Philosophy and Pedagogy.

description: Starting point of this article is the unpublished correspondence between the Swedish pedagogue Ellen Key (1849-1926) and the French writer Romain Rolland (1866-1944) that took place in the years between 1911 and 1926. The exchange of letters between the two figures is a significant document in the history of European culture during the First World War, from which it is possible to extrapolate an educational message, which aims to lay the basis to the education of the European citizen of the future..

description: The purpose of this paper is to explore if a well-accepted conceptualization of individual level resilience can be used to predict entrepreneurial success, thus offering the field an operationalization of resilience in entrepreneurs. Whilst many accept the importance of entrepreneurial resilience, it remains largely a metaphor applied to any aspect of entrepreneurship, from individual level to business to system level resilience. We explore resilience in a sample of 215 founding entrepreneurs and use regression analysis to examine the relationship between resilience and entrepreneurial success as indicated by individual level variables, and between resilience and entrepreneurial success as indicated by business performance variables. We find resilience in entrepreneurs comprises hardiness and persistence; that entrepreneurs are more resilient than other populations; and that resilience does predict entrepreneurial success. The results offer a parsimonious scale for use in future research into the resilience of entrepreneurs, the indicators of which could provide useful guidance in the development of resilience education and training for entrepreneurs. This research responds to recognition that the term resilience has multiple meanings and is a metaphor needing additional conceptualisation for the context in which it is used. These findings suggest that individual level resilience in entrepreneurs can be conceptualised as hardiness and persistence, and operationalized by the items in the CD-RISC 10-item scale.

Performance modelling

description: This document presents the results achieved by PRACE-2IP Work Package 8 at PM3. Scientific communities, selected during the first project month, proposed a number of codes relevant for the scientific domain and promising in terms of potential performance improvement on the coming generation of supercomputing architectures. In order to analyse the performance features of these codes, a methodology, based on the performance modelling approach, has been defined and adopted. This methodology relies on the analytic modelling of the main algorithms (characterising the dependency from the critical model parameters) and on the performance analysis, based on the usage of performance tools. The performance modelling approach allows studying the current behaviour of a code, emphasising performance and bottlenecks. But it is also a predictive tool, allowing the estimation of the code’s behaviour on different computing architectures, and identifying the most promising areas for performance improvement.
 The first step of the modelling is represented by performance analysis. This analysis was accomplished for all the proposed codes, with detailed data generated and collected. The overall results are presented for each scientific domain and code. Most of the data was generated for “real cases”, i.e., running the codes for real scientifically meaningful cases, in order to evaluate performances and bottlenecks in daily usage configurations, and to achieve a performance impact through code refactoring and optimisation of the crucial sections of each code. In the following step of WP8, this data will be synthesised and modelled, in order to identify the most promising numerical kernels for performance improvement. This will be the subject of the coming deliverable D8.1.3 “Prototype Codes Exploring Performance Improvements”.
