title: ISO/IEC 27701: Threats and Opportunities for GDPR Certification
abstract: The paper assesses the possible consequences for Article 42/43 certification of the recently published ISO/IEC 27701:2019 standard. The new ISO standard establishes a management system that aims to manage 'the processes for protecting the capture, accountability, availability, integrity, and confidentiality of personal data. The conformity with the standard's requirements is certifiable by the private certification bodies interested in providing this service to businesses. The paper shows that ISO/IEC 27701:2019 based certification possesses many assets to dominate the market of data protection certification and, thus, compete with the approach supported by the European supervisory authorities on data protection. ISO based certification offers many operational advantages to businesses which are looking for a workable solution to streamline information security and data protection in their organization. In the meantime, the EU supervisory authorities are still wandering on the right option to approve certification schemes under Article 42/43 regime. A strong uptake of ISO/IEC 27701:2019 based certification alongside Article 42/43 certification could confuse the general public and eventually threaten Article 42/43 implementation. But it could also offer an opportunity to the European supervisory authorities to spread data protection principles beyond EU borders and clarify the relationships they intend to establish between Article 42/43 certification and ISO standards based one.

title: No modifying effect of education level on the association between lifestyle behaviors and cardiovascular mortality: the Japan Collaborative Cohort Study
abstract: We examined the effect of education level on the association between healthy lifestyle behaviors and cardiovascular mortality in the Japanese population. A total of 42,647 community based men and women aged 40 79 years were enrolled at baseline (1988 1990) followed through 2009. The components of the healthy lifestyle score included the intake of fruits, fish, and milk; body mass index; exercise; avoidance of smoking; moderate alcohol intake; and moderate sleep duration. During the 19.3 years of follow up, 8,314 all cause and 2,377 total cardiovascular mortality cases were noted. Inverse associations were observed between healthy lifestyle scores and total cardiovascular disease (CVD) for both the lower and higher education level groups. Multivariable hazard ratios (95% confidence interval) for CVD mortality from the highest to the lowest healthy lifestyle scores, and the population attributable fraction (95% CIs) without healthy lifestyle scores of 7 8 were 0.51 (0.33 0.52) and 42% (24 58% and 0.38 (0.27 0.47) and 55% (36 69% for the higher and lower education levels, respectively. Our findings suggest that the association between higher CVD mortality and lower education level can be explained by the individuals' lower adherence to a healthy lifestyle; hence, lifestyle modification would be beneficial for the prevention of cardiovascular mortality, irrespective of the education level.

title: Implementacion del primer sistema de gestion de seguridad de la informacion, en el Ecuador, certificado bajo la norma ISO 27001:2005
abstract: Given the evolution of information technologies and their direct relationship with the business objectives of organizations, the universe of threats and vulnerabilities increase, then is necessary to protect one of the most important assets of the organization, The information, ensuring always the availability, confidentiality and integrity of it. The most appropriate way to protect information assets is through proper risk management, achieving identify and focus efforts on those elements that are most exposed. Implementing a Information Security Management System guarantees to organization that adopt the best practices recommended by the ISO 27001:2005 for the proper treatment of risk. Then we are going to show a successful case in the implementation of an ISMS and their respective certification under the ISO 27001:2005

title: Gene Expression Elucidates Functional Impact of Polygenic Risk for Schizophrenia
abstract: Over 100 genetic loci harbor schizophrenia associated variants, yet how these variants confer liability is uncertain. The CommonMind Consortium sequenced RNA from dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of people with schizophrenia (N 258) and control subjects (N 279) creating a resource of gene expression and its genetic regulation. Using this resource, ~20% of schizophrenia loci have variants that could contribute to altered gene expression and liability. In five loci, only a single gene was involved: FURIN, TSNARE1, CNTN4, CLCN3 or SNAP91. Altering expression of FURIN, TSNARE1 or CNTN4 changed neurodevelopment in zebrafish; knockdown of FURIN in human neural progenitor cells yielded abnormal migration. Of 693 genes showing significant case versus control differential expression, their fold changes were 1.33, and an independent cohort yielded similar results. Gene co expression implicates a network relevant for schizophrenia. Our findings show that schizophrenia is polygenic and highlight the utility of this resource for mechanistic interpretations of genetic liability for brain diseases.

title: Auckland, New Zealand
abstract: Auckland offers a case study of where, why, and how policy changes have caused parking supply and prices to adjust toward a more efficient level. Since the 1990s, the city has trailed and extended new approaches to parking management, including removal of minimum parking requirements from business and mixed use zones and introduction of priced parking to manage on street parking demand. Auckland's policy approach has emphasized (1) complementary strategic policy settings for managing the supply and price of parking and (2) the use of low cost trials to gather evidence and build the case for further changes to policy.

title: Proposal of a Model for Life Cycle Optimization of Industrial Equipment
abstract: Pressure of emergent countries, policy makers and industrial companies' interests are pushing European companies towards a high consideration of whole product life cycle. Designers and systems engineers are the main actors involved, due to their high influence on product life cycle costs and environmental impacts since early design phase. The aim of the paper is to propose an integrated, structured and robust model, completed by methods/techniques, to support and help the activity of designers and engineers to create and identify the optimal life cycle oriented solution.

title: Comparative structure function characterization of the saposin like domains from potato, barley, cardoon and Arabidopsis aspartic proteases.
abstract: The present study characterized the aspartic protease saposin like domains of four plant species, Solanum tuberosum (potato) Hordeum vulgare L. (barley) Cynara cardunculus L. (cardoon; artichoke thistle) and Arabidopsis thaliana, in terms of bilayer disruption and fusion, and structure pH dependence. Comparison of the recombinant saposin like domains revealed that each induced leakage of bilayer vesicles composed of a simple phospholipid mixture with relative rates Arabidopsis>barley>cardoon>potato. When compared for leakage of bilayer composed of a vacuole like phospholipid mixture, leakage was approximately five times higher for potato saposin like domain compared to the others. In terms of fusogenic activity, distinctions between particle size profiles were noted among the four proteins, particularly for potato saposin like domain. Bilayer fusion assays in reducing conditions resulted in altered fusion profiles except in the case of cardoon saposin like domain which was virtually unchanged. Secondary structure profiles were similar across all four proteins under different pH conditions, although cardoon saposin like domain appeared to have higher overall helix structure. Furthermore, increases in Trp emission upon protein bilayer interactions suggested that protein structure rearrangements equilibrated with half times ranging from 52 to 120s, with cardoon saposin like domain significantly slower than the other three species. Overall, the present findings serve as a foundation for future studies seeking to delineate protein structural features and motifs in protein bilayer interactions based upon variability in plant aspartic protease saposin like domain structures.

title: Understanding How to Implement Privacy by Design, One Step at a Time
abstract: While widely accepted as a game changer for protecting privacy, Privacy by Design (PbD) has also developed a reputation for being challenging to implement for businesses. The reality is much different. PbD was intended to form the foundation of how to proactively embed privacy into the design of products and services. This is why the 7 principles of PbD are called Foundational Principles. They can be actualized and customized in many different ways, depending on the particular requirements of an organization. This article will present a simplified discussion of practically implementing PbD and how PbD can enhance corporate interests, while offering the strongest privacy and data protection to achieve multiple goals. It's a clear: win/win!
