The Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service Ocean State Report

The Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) Ocean State Report (OSR) provides an annual report of the state of the global ocean and European regional seas for policy and decision makers with the additional aim of increasing general public awareness about the status of, and changes in, the marine environment. The CMEMS OSR draws on expert analysis and provides a 3 D view (through reanalysis systems) a view from above (through remote sensing data) and a direct view of the interior (through in situ measurements) of the global ocean and the European regional seas. The report is based on the unique CMEMS monitoring capabilities of the blue (hydrography, currents) white (sea ice) and green (e.g. Chlorophyll) marine environment. This first issue of the CMEMS OSR provides guidance on Essential Variables, large scale changes and specific events related to the physical ocean state over the period 1993 2015. Principal findings of this first CMEMS OSR show a significant increase in global and regional sea levels, thermosteric expansion, ocean heat content, sea surface temperature and Antarctic sea ice extent and conversely a decrease in Arctic sea ice extent during the 1993 2015 period. During the year 2015 exceptionally strong large scale changes were monitored such as, for example, a strong El Nino Southern Oscillation, a high frequency of extreme storms and sea level events in specific regions in addition to areas of high sea level and harmful algae blooms. At the same time, some areas in the Arctic Ocean experienced exceptionally low sea ice extent and temperatures below average were observed in the North Atlantic Ocean.
Developing ecological sustainability: a green IS response model
Venue: Inf. Syst. J.

Growing private and public concern with the environment is pushing businesses to increase their awareness and action. Using the Nordic bank Nordea as a case study and a Green information systems (IS) organizational response model developed on the basis of extant literature, we investigate how Green IS initiatives become part of a firm's overall strategy and part of the organizational sustainability process. We find that Green IS initiatives are initiated through a bottom up process where environmentally concerned individuals identify issues and become Green IS champions. They use their authority and edification skills to promote Green IS to the organizational agenda. If the issue is aligned with the organizational agenda, it receives management's endorsement. The empirical case also shows two types of systemic feedback that can fuel a self reinforcing sustainability process. The first type of feedback increases the champion's ability to promote Green IS in the future through authority and edification. The second type leads to the transformation of organizational value through reinforcement and extension. Finally, we identify interrelationships between organizational response processes, where higher order response processes, e.g. change of corporate values, function as gatekeepers or pre conditions for when and which issues are promoted to the organizational agenda.

Ultrafast laser processing of materials: from science to industry
Venue: Light, science applications

Processing of materials by ultrashort laser pulses has evolved significantly over the last decade and is starting to reveal its scientific, technological and industrial potential. In ultrafast laser manufacturing, optical energy of tightly focused femtosecond or picosecond laser pulses can be delivered to precisely defined positions in the bulk of materials via two /multi photon excitation on a timescale much faster than thermal energy exchange between photoexcited electrons and lattice ions. Control of photo ionization and thermal processes with the highest precision, inducing local photomodification in sub 100 nm sized regions has been achieved. State of the art ultrashort laser processing techniques exploit high 0.1 1 mm spatial resolution and almost unrestricted three dimensional structuring capability. Adjustable pulse duration, spatiotemporal chirp, phase front tilt and polarization allow control of photomodification via uniquely wide parameter space. Mature opto electrical/mechanical technologies have enabled laser processing speeds approaching meters per second, leading to a fast lab to fab transfer. The key aspects and latest achievements are reviewed with an emphasis on the fundamental relation between spatial resolution and total fabrication throughput. Emerging biomedical applications implementing micrometer feature precision over centimeter scale scaffolds and photonic wire bonding in telecommunications are highlighted.
Ethanol production in Brazil: a bridge between science and industry
Venue: Brazilian journal of microbiology [publication of the Brazilian Society for Microbiology]

In the last 40 years, several scientific and technological advances in microbiology of the fermentation have greatly contributed to evolution of the ethanol industry in Brazil. These contributions have increased our view and comprehension about fermentations in the first and, more recently, second generation ethanol. Nowadays, new technologies are available to produce ethanol from sugarcane, corn and other feedstocks, reducing the off season period. Better control of fermentation conditions can reduce the stress conditions for yeast cells and contamination by bacteria and wild yeasts. There are great research opportunities in production processes of the first generation ethanol regarding high value added products, cost reduction and selection of new industrial yeast strains that are more robust and customized for each distillery. New technologies have also focused on the reduction of vinasse volumes by increasing the ethanol concentrations in wine during fermentation. Moreover, conversion of sugarcane biomass into fermentable sugars for second generation ethanol production is a promising alternative to meet future demands of biofuel production in the country. However, building a bridge between science and industry requires investments in research, development and transfer of new technologies to the industry as well as specialized personnel to deal with new technological challenges.
Sensory science, the food industry, and the objectification of taste

Dans cet article je propose d'examiner pourquoi l'analyse sensorielle discipline appartenant au champ des sciences de l'alimentation et qui "consiste en un ensemble de techniques permettant de mesurer precisement les reactions humaines vis a vis des aliments" rencontre des difficultes a evaluer les proprietes sensorielles des aliments issus d'une production "artisanale" En tant que specialiste de l'analyse sensorielle, je me preoccupe de cette limite de la discipline qui empeche de prendre en compte des categories entieres d'aliments et d'experiences de consommateurs. J'entends demontrer que les relations historiques entre l'analyse sensorielle et l'industrie alimentaire ont conduit a asseoir certaines hypotheses qui ne peuvent s'appliquer en dehors d'une production industrielle, et qui par consequent nuisent a l'evaluation d'aliments issus d'une production artisanale. Je commence par tracer les grandes lignes de ces liens historiques, puis j'expose les hypotheses qui, a mon sens, posent probleme, pour finir par demontrer en me basant sur mes propres recherches la necessite de developer des methodologies sensorielles qui puissant etre appliquees largement aux aliments, quel que soit leur mode de production.
Brightening of dark excitons in monolayers of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides

We present low temperature magneto photoluminescence experiments which demonstrate the brightening of dark excitons by an in plane magnetic field $B$ applied to monolayers of different semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides. For both WSe$_2$ and WS$_2$ monolayers, the dark exciton emission is observed at \sim$50 meV below the bright exciton peak and displays a characteristic doublet structure which intensity is growing with $B^2$ while no magnetic field induced emission peaks appear for MoSe$_2$ monolayer. Our experiments also show that the MoS$_2$ monolayer has a dark exciton ground state with a dark bright exciton splitting energy of \sim$100 meV.
Information activities and appropriation in teacher trainees' digital, group based learning
Venue: Inf. Res.

This paper reports results from an ethnographic study of teacher trainees' information activities in digital, group based learning and their relation to the interplay between use and appropriation of digital tools and the learning environment.  The participants in the present study are 249 pre school teacher trainees in Sweden. Three key informants and their teams were followed during a course module using online and offline participant observation. The produced material includes transcribed interviews with nine students, recorded digital interactions from Facebook, Google Drive and Prezi, field notes and a field diary.  The material was read repeatedly, coded and comparatively analysed using the lens of information literacy and the concept appropriation. The analysis generated recurring themes. These themes emerged as phases of the group based learning process.  The results illustrate how information activities during teacher trainees' digital, group based learning are performed during four phases: setting the scene, negotiating the topic, gathering material and presenting the assignment.  Crucial aspects of an information literacy of digital, group based learning in teacher training are identified. The learning environment of teacher training constrains and enables use and appropriation of digital tools in terms of flexibility, lack of participation and transparency.
Supervised Transformer Network for Efficient Face Detection
Venue: ECCV

Large pose variations remain to be a challenge that confronts real word face detection. We propose a new cascaded Convolutional Neural Network, dubbed the name Supervised Transformer Network, to address this challenge. The first stage is a multi task Region Proposal Network (RPN) which simultaneously predicts candidate face regions along with associated facial landmarks. The candidate regions are then warped by mapping the detected facial landmarks to their canonical positions to better normalize the face patterns. The second stage, which is a RCNN, then verifies if the warped candidate regions are valid faces or not. We conduct end to end learning of the cascaded network, including optimizing the canonical positions of the facial landmarks. This supervised learning of the transformations automatically selects the best scale to differentiate face/non face patterns. By combining feature maps from both stages of the network, we achieve state of the art detection accuracies on several public benchmarks. For real time performance, we run the cascaded network only on regions of interests produced from a boosting cascade face detector. Our detector runs at 30 FPS on a single CPU core for a VGA resolution image.
Principles for designing synthetic microbial communities.
Venue: Current opinion in microbiology

Advances in synthetic biology to build microbes with defined and controllable properties are enabling new approaches to design and program multispecies communities. This emerging field of synthetic ecology will be important for many areas of biotechnology, bioenergy and bioremediation. This endeavor draws upon knowledge from synthetic biology, systems biology, microbial ecology and evolution. Fully realizing the potential of this discipline requires the development of new strategies to control the intercellular interactions, spatiotemporal coordination, robustness, stability and biocontainment of synthetic microbial communities. Here, we review recent experimental, analytical and computational advances to study and build multi species microbial communities with defined functions and behavior for various applications. We also highlight outstanding challenges and future directions to advance this field.
Box Particle Implementation and Comparison of Cardinalized Probability Hypothesis Density Filter

This paper develops a box particle implementa tion of cardinalized probability hypothesis density filter to track multiple targets and estimate the unknown number of targets. A box particle is a random sample that occupies a small and controllable rectangular region of nonzero volume in the target state space. In box particle filter the huge number of traditional point observations is instead by a remarkably reduced number of interval measurements. It decreases the number of particles significantly and reduces the runtime considerably. The proposed algorithm based on box particle is able to reach a similar accuracy to a Sequential Monte Carlo cardinalized probability hy pothesis density (SMC CPHD) filter with much less computational costs. Not only does it propagates the PHD, but also propagates the cardinality distribution of target number. Therefore, it generates more accurate and stable instantaneous estimates of target number as well as target state than the box particle probability hypothesis density (BP PHD) filter does especially in dense clutter environ ment. Comparison and analysis based on the simulations in different probability of detection and different clutter rate have been done. The effectiveness and reliability of the proposed algorithm are verified by the simulation results.
An evolutionary perspective of opportunism in high technology alliance: the evidence from South Korean companies

Adopting an evolutionary perspective, we introduce an alternative approach to the opportunism in strategic alliance where the accumulated risks during alliance operation lead to opportunism in alliance. To examine this process, a total of 358 employees from South Korean firms in the high technology sector completed a survey on opportunism in strategic alliance, measuring each firm's perceived risks on the relational and operational issues in alliance and their antecedents and outcomes. Key results show that perceived risks on the relationship between alliance partners cause a passive type of opportunism, whereas perceived risks both on the relationship between alliance partners and on the achievement of alliance objectives cause an active type of opportunism. Specifically, cultural difference showed the largest influence on relational risks, whereas issues in equity involvement showed the largest influence on performance risk. Based on the findings, theoretical and practical implications on the opportunism management in strategic alliance are discussed.
Seasonal Variations in Birth Weight in Suzhou Industrial Park.
Venue: Biomedical and environmental sciences BES

Many environmental factors have been shown to adversely influence birth weight, and new insight has been gained into 'seasonal programming' We studied a total of 23,064 infants. The mean birth weight varied across seasons. Logistic regression analysis was used to obtain the crude and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for dichotomous outcomes (e.g. macrosomia, low birth weight) There were significant differences in the risks for macrosomia in infants born in different seasons. Compared with those for infants born in spring, the ORs for macrosomia were 0.85 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.75 0.98] and 0.87 (95% CI: 0.77 0.99) for infants born in summer and autumn, respectively. These findings suggest that environmental factors may have public health implications and should be considered when primary prevention programs are developed for macrosomia or low birth weight.
Systematic energy management: A foundation for sustainable production
Venue: 2016 IEEE Conference on Technologies for Sustainability (SusTech)

In the past few years energy management became increasing important. Not only the trend toward clean energy sources triggered a process of rethinking in the minds of society but also pushed the politics to create incentives for companies in order to make them reduce their carbon footprint. Efficient use of resources has become a fundamental part of present day economic, social and political decision making. Energy efficient production is no longer considered just under ecological aspect. It is considered as an important part of business strategy. Through high energy taxes, enormous energy costs and continuously increasing energy prices manufacturing companies are under permanent stress. However, there is for companies in the field of energy management enormous potential to financially improve and save costs consequently. Standards have provided a guide line for the companies to move towards green production. However lack of know how and appropriate software tools and absence of concepts and methods for green production hinders company's especially small and medium size enterprises to take the step towards green production. Systematic and strategic energy management is the key to transform a company from lean to green production. Because of the complexity of the tasks related to environment and energy management, the Institute for Factory Automation and Production Systems (FAPS) developed methods and concepts to implement a strategic energy management. Furthermore, a software is developed that enables companies to follow the ISO 50001 guidelines and implement energy management methods necessary for a green production. This paper provides a brief road map showing the path to an energy efficient production environment. Starting from the list of the main energy consuming applications in German industries, which were identified through a study carried out in 2015. Brief description of the energy management methods and concepts and illustration of the role of strategic energy management in transforming companies from lean to green production and finally a brief illustration of the software for the implementation of energy management especially in manufacturing companies.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Techniques and Strategies

ognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a rich, complex, and evolving model of treatment that has been developed for and applied to a wide range of mental health and physical problems and disorders. From its early days in the 1970s, CBT has grown to become one of the preeminent models of psychotherapy, and it is widely distributed and used around the globe. Specific forms of CBT have been recognized as evidence based treatments for a vast array of disorders, from organizations as wide ranging as the American Psychiatric Association, the Australian Psychological Association, the British National Institute for Clinical Excellence, and many others in many parts of the world. This volume was written to elucidate and portray some of the key principles and therapeutic processes that are practiced by effective cognitive behavioral therapists. The organization of this book roughly follows the temporal sequence of a typical CBT application in that we begin with a discussion of the usual ways that we think broadly about the field and C
Schema Therapy for Emotional Dysregulation: Theoretical Implication and Clinical Applications
Venue: Front. Psychol.

The term emotional dysregulation refers to an impaired ability to regulate unwanted emotional states. Scientific evidence supports the idea that emotional dysregulation underlies several psychological disorders as, for example: personality disorders, bipolar disorder type II, interpersonal trauma, anxiety disorders, mood disorders and post traumatic stress disorder. Emotional dysregulation may derive from early interpersonal traumas in childhood. These early traumatic events create a persistent sensitization of the central nervous system in relation to early life stressing events. For this reason, some authors suggest a common endophenotypical origin across psychopathologies. In the last 20 years, cognitive behavioral therapy has increasingly adopted an interactive ontogenetic view to explain the development of disorders associated to emotional dysregulation. Unfortunately, standard Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) methods are not useful in treating emotional dysregulation. A CBT derived new approach called Schema Therapy (ST) that integrates theory and techniques from psychodynamic and emotion focused therapy, holds the promise to fill this gap in cognitive literature. In this model, psychopathology is viewed as the interaction between the innate temperament of the child and the early experiences of deprivation or frustration of the subject's basic needs. This deprivation may lead to develop early maladaptive schemas (EMS) and maladaptive Modes. In the present paper we point out that EMSs and Modes are associated with either dysregulated emotions or with dysregulatory strategies that produce and maintain problematic emotional responses. Thanks to a special focus on the therapeutic relationship and emotion focused experiential techniques, this approach successfully treats severe emotional dysregulation. In this paper, we make several comparisons between the main ideas of ST and the science of emotion regulation, and we present how to conceptualize pathological phenomena in terms of failed regulation and some of the ST strategies and techniques to foster successful regulation in patients.
Organizational socialization in team sport environments
Venue: Scandinavian journal of medicine science in sports

Socialization tactics are often used to manage initial group member interactions in a way that facilitates transition experiences. Although this process is heavily researched in organizational contexts, we sought to extend this line of inquiry to sport by examining the nature of socialization tactics used to integrate new members into existing teams. Interviews were conducted with 12 coaches and 12 athletes from several Canadian Interuniversity Sport teams to explore the nature of socialization and the circumstances underscoring why certain approaches are taken over others. A key process involved establishing congruency of role expectations between incoming athletes and group leaders, and socialization processes balanced expectations of conformity with encouragement of individual personalities within the group. A conceptual basis to examine socialization into team sport environments is discussed in relation to the extant organizational theories, and the practical implications of delineating sport socialization tactics are forwarded.
