No full textProyecto REUNION: Rehabilitación de reclusos extranjeros en el ámbito de la Decisión Marco 2008/909/JAI.
El proyecto REUNION (“Rehabilitación de reclusos extranjeros en el ámbito de la Decisión Marco 2008/909/JAI”), financiado por la Unión Europea (UE), tiene por objetivo apoyar adecuadamente a jueces, magistrados, fiscales, abogados y otros operadores jurídicos, en la ejecución transfronteriza de resoluciones penales (sentencias) condenado a penas y medidas penales privativas de libertad dentro de la UE: esto es, en la aplicación de la Decisión Marco 2008/909 (DM 909).
Igualmente, este proyecto pretende contribuir a la generación y ampliación de conocimientos entre los mencionados profesionales, a través de la actualización y producción de materiales de formación y la organización de actividades de aprendizaje y formativas de carácter transfronterizo.
Por último, el proyecto tiene por objetivo la creación de programas sostenibles de formación a distancia sobre la aplicación efectiva de la DM 909 (igualmente, accesibles a todos los operadores jurídicos implicados en los procedimientos relacionados con la DM 909). Estos programas de formación abordarán tanto el contenido teórico como práctico de dicho instrumento, y se focalizaran en mejorar su aplicación práctica.
Revisión de Literatura
Para lograr los objetivos del proyecto REUNION, en una primera fase, y como parte del paquete de trabajo 2 (focalizado en la investigación en la UE sobre la aplicación efectiva de la DM 909) se ha llevado a cabo una investigación de carácter empírica, con el objeto de realizar dos encuestas de alcance comunitario (para toda la UE), una de ellas dirigida a jueces y fiscales y otra destinada a abogados y funcionarios de prisiones, con objeto de conocer el estado actual de la implementación de la DM 909, y los obstáculos que estos profesionales llamados a aplicarla encuentran durante su ejecución.
Como punto de partida para dicha investigación empírica, con objeto de establecer las bases para el adecuado desarrollo del protocolo de investigación, se ha llevado a cabo una revisión de la literatura sobre todos los aspectos relacionados con la DM 909.
Durante 2023, esta revisión de literatura ha abarcado todos los aspectos relacionados con dicha DM, concretamente se realizó una revisión de todos los estudios y trabajos focalizados en los obstáculos y dificultades -relacionados con la implementación de la DM 909-, buenas prácticas, desafíos y aspectos complejos del procedimiento, se buscaron materiales de formación y herramientas desarrolladas para formar a los operadores jurídicos en esta materia, casos prácticos, etc. Se hizo una revisión de todos los trabajos publicados en el marco de la UE después de 2008. La revisión de literatura se hizo en inglés, pero también en los idiomas de los socios implicados en el proyecto, si bien, la mayoría de los textos finalmente seleccionados por su importancia o relevancia son en inglés. Los trabajos seleccionados en otros idiomas fueron parcialmente traducidos a inglés siguiendo un formulario diseñado al efecto.
Se presentan así en este informe todos los obstáculos y dificultades revelados durante los primeros quince años de andadura del procedimiento de traslado de personas condenadas o de reconocimiento mutuo de resoluciones penales condenando a penas y medidas penales privativas de libertad establecido en la DM 909, exponiendo tras dichas dificultades aquellas soluciones y buenas prácticas detectadas a los largo de múltiples estudios e investigaciones en la materia, produciendo por tanto este informe conclusiones muy interesantes

Expression of Dm-AMP1 in rice confers resistance to Magnaporthe oryzae and Rhizoctonia solani
No full textMagnaporthe oryzae and Rhizoctonia solani, are among the most important pathogens of rice, severely limiting its productivity. Dm-AMP1, an antifungal plant defensin from Dahlia merckii, was expressed in rice (Oryza sativa L. sp. indica cv. Pusa basmati 1) using Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. Expression levels of Dm-AMP1 ranged from 0.43% to 0.57% of total soluble protein in transgenic plants. It was observed that constitutive expression of Dm-AMP1 suppresses the growth of M. oryzae and R. solani by 84% and 72%, respectively. Transgenic expression of Dm-AMP1 was not accompanied by an induction of pathogenesis-related (PR) gene expression, indicating that the expression of DmAMP1 directly inhibits the pathogen. The results of in vitro, in planta and microscopic analyses suggest that Dm-AMP1 expression has the potential to provide broad-spectrum disease resistance in rice
Database of Nutrient Composition of Animal Protein Meals
No full textThese data are the result of analyzes conducted on 220 samples of animal by-products meals such as meat and bone meal, meat meal, chicken by-product, chicken meal, among others. The database allows animal nutritionists to compare and evaluate nutrient and energy concentration among sources of ingredients and among ingredients.An industry survey and an animal experiment were conducted to evaluate compositional variability and DE and ME content of animal protein by-products, and to generate equations to predict DE and ME content based on chemical analysis. For the 220 samples collected, the greatest concentration of CP was observed in blood meal (BM) and least in meat and bone meal (MBM), the greatest concentration of ether extract (EE) was in meat meal and least in BM, with ash content greatest in MBM and least in BM; with Ca and P levels being 36.1 and 16.3% of the ash content, respectively. For the balance experiment, a corn-soybean meal basal diet was used with test diets formulated by mixing 80% of the basal diet with 20% of the animal protein by-product, except for BM which was included at 10 and 20% of the test diets. Ten groups of 24 gilts (final BW = 92.5 ± 7.4 kg) were used, with gilts randomly assigned to the test or the basal diet within each group, resulting in 16 replications per animal protein by-product or basal diet, except for BM determinations (20 replications). Gilts were placed in metabolism crates and offered 2.4 kg daily of their assigned diet for 13 d, with total collection of feces and urine during the last 4 d. Gross energy was determined in the diets, feces, and urine to calculate DE and ME content of each ingredient by the difference procedure, using DE and ME content of the basal diet as covariates among groups of pigs. The DE content of the animal protein by-products ranged from 5,367 to 2,567 kcal DE/kg of DM, and ME ranged from 4,783 to 2,340 kcal ME/kg DM. Using all animal protein by-products, the best fit equations were as follows: DE, kcal/kg DM = -2,468 + (1.26 × GE, kcal/kg DM), with R2 of 0.84, SE = 390, and P < 0.01; ME, kcal/kg DM = -2,331 + (1.15 × GE, kcal/kg DM), with R2 of 0.86, SE = 327, and P < 0.01). The apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of Ca and P were also determined using the difference procedure, with the average ATTD of Ca and P for the animal protein by-products, excluding BM and FM, being 27.1 and 39.1%, respectively. These data indicate that DE and ME varied substantially among the animal protein by-products and sources, and that a variety of nutritional components can be used to accurately predict DE and ME for finishing pigs. In addition, it appears that high dietary inclusion rates of animal protein by-products may result in low ATTD estimates of Ca and P, which may be due to excessive concentrations of total Ca and P affecting digestibility.This project was financially supported by the National Pork BoardUrriola, Pedro E; Kerr, Brian J; Jha, Rajesh; Shurson, Gerald C.

Sneutrino DM in the NMSSM with inverse seesaw mechanism
No full textIn supersymmetric theories like the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM), the lightest neutralino with bino or singlino as its dominant component is customarily taken as dark matter (DM) candidate. Since light Higgsinos favored by naturalness can strength the couplings of the DM and thus enhance the DM-nucleon scattering rate, the tension between naturalness and DM direct detection results becomes more and more acute with the improved experimental sensitivity. In this work, we extend the NMSSM by inverse seesaw mechanism to generate neutrino mass, and show that in certain parameter space the lightest sneutrino may act as a viable DM candidate, i.e. it can annihilate by multi-channels to get correct relic density and meanwhile satisfy all experimental constraints. The most striking feature of the extension is that the DM-nucleon scattering rate can be naturally below its current experimental bounds regardless of the higgsino mass, and hence it alleviates the tension between naturalness and DM experiments. Other interesting features include that the Higgs phenomenology becomes much richer than that of the original NMSSM due to the relaxed constraints from DM physics and also due to the presence of extra neutrinos, and that the signatures of sparticles at colliders are quite different from those with neutralino as DM candidate.National Natural Science Foundation of China (NNSFC) [11575053]SCI(E)ARTICLE1

Policy-driven Data Sharing over Attribute-Based Encryption supporting Dual Membership
No full textAttribute-Based Encryption (ABE) plays an important role in current secure data sharing through fine-grained customizable policies. However, the existing ABE schemes only support simple predicates, = and ≠, but cannot express a more general membership predicates, ∈ and ∉, in policies. The low expressivity of ABE will enlarge the ciphertext storage and reduce the communication efficiency. To overcome this problem, we propose an ABE supporting Dual Membership (DM-ABE). The core problem for implementing this scheme is how to use cryptographic methods to decide the membership between the verified element and the given set. In order to solve this problem, we design a cryptographic algorithm, called Secure Decision of Membership (SDM), based on aggregation functions. In this algorithm, any set can be aggregated into one cryptographic element, and the verified element and the given set can be converted into another cryptographic element in decision process. The membership between them can be decided by the above two cryptographic elements. Furthermore, we construct the DM-ABE by using SDM. Because of the good expressivity of our DM-ABE, we further propose a novel cryptographic data sharing framework by integrating DM-ABE and attribute-based access control to provide fine-grained access control and security protection for private data. In the security proof of DM-ABE, we prove that the DM-ABE satisfies the semantic security against chosen-plaintext attacks under the DBDHE assumption in the standard model through a unified way, considering both two encryption methods for ∈ and ∉ at the same time. Finally, we analyze our scheme in terms of time and space complexity, and compare it with some existing schemes. The results show that our DM-ABE has a better expressive ability on the boolean logic of general membership predicates, ∈ and ∉.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Cyber Securit

This article is an open access article distributed under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).In this short review, corresponding to a talk given at the conference “Cosmology 2023 in Miramare”, we combine an analysis of five regions observed by H.E.S.S. in the Galactic Center, intending to constrain the Dark Matter (DM) density profile in a WIMP annihilation scenario. For the analysis, we include the state-of-the-art Galactic diffuse emission Gamma-optimized model computed with DRAGON and a wide range of DM density profiles from cored to cuspy profiles, including different kinds of DM spikes. Our results are able to constrain generalized NFW profiles with an inner slope ≳1.3 . When considering DM spikes, the adiabatic spike is completely ruled out. However, smoother spikes given by the interactions with the bulge stars are compatible if ≲0.8 , with an internal slope of sp-stars=1.5.This work has been supported by the grants PID2021-125331NB-I00, PID2022-139841NB-I00, and CEX2020-001007-S, funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033, by “ERDF A way of making Europe”, and the MULTIDARK Project RED2022-134411-T.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) related lower extremity amputations (LEA) rate and risk factors.
No full textAuthor: Ieva Vasiliūtė Title: Diabetes mellitus (DM) related lower extremity amputations (LEA) rate and risk factors. Aim: To investigate LEA rate and risk factors in patients with DM. Objectives: To evaluate DM related LEA rate. To determine DM related LEAs levels and patients demographic factors relation. To determine DM related LEAs levels and type of DM relation. To determine DM related LEAs levels and DM duration, body mass index (BMI), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) meanings relation. To evaluate expected mathematically based risk factors. Methods: Retrospective medical records study of 153 patients with DM, who underwent LEAs at the Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kaunas clinics was performed during the 2012 01 01 – 2014 12 31 period. Statistical analysis was performed using the standard SPSS 20.0 program. Results: 33,33% of legs amputations occured among people with DM and 66,67% of them were male (p<0,001). Major LEAs were performed mostly in patients with type 2 DM (86,96%) than those with type 1 DM (p<0,001). Male patients LEAs were performed in patients suffering for shorter duration of DM than in women (19,18 m. (±95% PI 16,71-21,65) vs. 23,36 m. (±95% PI 20,07-26,65), p=0,053). Patients with type 2 DM underwent LEAs had DM for shorter durations (16,19 m. (±95% PI 14,32-18,06)) than those with type 1 DM patients (31,43 m. (±95% PI 28,40-34,45)) ( p<0,001). Major LEAs remove patients had BMI (32,86±5,55 kg/m2) than minor LEAs remove patients (29,13±5,91 kg/m2) (p=0,027). No significant relation was found with amputation level and HbA1c average (p=0,246). DM related eye damage increases the risk of minor LEAs 3,10 times (p=0,001). Obesity/overweight the risk of major LEAs increases 5,65 times (p=0,036) and 2,56 times with obliterate atherosclerosis (p=0,006). Patients with type 2 DM have a 3,2 times (p=0,002) higher risk of undergoing major LEA. Conclusions: A third of patients who had undergone LEAs had DM. Amputations were carried out more frequently in men. DKA arose more often in patients with type 2 DM. LEAs were performed a shorter duration male DM patients. Type 2 DM patients suffered LEAs nearly 2 times shorter duration. Major LEAs experienced patients had a higher BMI. The average of HbA1c is not significantly related with amputation levels. DM related eye damage increases the minor LEAs risk by 3,10 times. Obesity/being overweight increases the risk of major LEAs 5,65 times, obliterate atherosclerosis - 2,56 times. Patients with type 2 DM have a 3,2 times higher risk of major LEA
