Lost in Transition to Adulthood

The so-called 'refugee crisis' has been portrayed as an invasion that threatens Europe and calls its sovereignty into question, prompting exceptional emergency responses. These (re)bordering processes highlight Europe's uneven, discriminatory, and racialized filtering system. European nation-states sort desired and undesired migrants through sets of precarious administrative statuses that translate into limited access to resources, most notably the formal labor market. European border regimes impose specific spatialities and temporalities on migrants through long-term physical and social deceleration: territorial assignation, enduring unemployment, forced idleness, and protracted periods of waiting. These temporal ruptures interrupt individual biographies and hinder the hopes of a young population seeking a better future. However, some find ways to navigate the socio-spatial deceleration they face. In this paper, I explore how European border regimes affect the trajectory of Sub- Saharan male migrants and how they appropriate such temporal dispossession. I use biographical analysis and participant observations of a squatting organization in a Swiss city to scrutinize the everyday practices and aspirations of a population made illegal and, as a result, denied access to social markers of maturity. I investigate how time intersects with physical, social, and existential im/mobility. I argue that, in navigating spaces of asymmetrical power relationships, impoverished migrants find autonomy in illegality. Neither victimizing nor romanticizing illegalized migrants' trajectories, this paper offers an ethnographic analysis of the capacities of an impoverished population to challenge European border regimes.

The role of energy storage technologies in the context of the Swiss energy transition (SwissStore)

The role of energy storage is subject to intense debates at the national and international level, reflecting a lack of consensus about the techno-economic potential and respective merits of the various energy storage technologies. This is largely due to the wide spectrum of possible applications, evolving technology and unclear market conditions. In the context of the SwissStore project we studied energy storage in different contexts and from different perspectives, i.e. • in households, in combination with photovoltaic panels (coupled with batteries and thermal storage), taking the perspective of the private investor • in all buildings (all sectors, also with PV), with a focus on increased short-term flexibility, thereby also considering other strategies next to storage (e.g. demand-side response) and taking the perspective of the social planner. In both cases, optimisation frameworks were developed for Switzerland and different scenarios were studied for the next decades.

Practical guide to using Kendall's τ in the context of forecasting critical transitions

Recent studies demonstrate that trends in indicators extracted from measured time series can indicate approaching to an impending transition. Kendall's τ coefficient is often used to study the trend of statistics related to the critical slowing down phenomenon and other methods to forecast critical transitions. Because statistics are estimated from time series, the values of Kendall'sτare affected by parameters such as window size, sample rate and length of the time series, resulting in challenges and uncertainties in interpreting results. In this study, we examine the effects of different parameters on the distribution of the trend obtained from Kendall's τ, and provide insights into how to choose these parameters. We also suggest the use of the non-parametric Mann-Kendall test to evaluate the significance of a Kendall'sτvalue. The non-parametric test is computationally much faster compared to the traditional parametric ARMA test.

Climate driven disruption of transitional alpine bumble bee communities

Pollinators at high elevations face multiple threats from climate change including heat stress, failure to phenological match advancing flower resources and competitive pressure from range-expanding species of lower elevations. We conducted long-term multi-site surveys of alpine bumble bees to determine how phenology of range-stable and range-expanding species is responding to climate change. We ask whether bumble bee responses generate mismatches with floral resources, and whether these mismatches in turn promote community disruption and potential species replacement. In alpine environments of the central Rocky Mountains, range-stable and range-expanding bumble bees exhibit phenological mismatches with flowering host plants due to earlier flowering of preferred resources under warmer spring temperatures. However, workers of range-stable species are more canalised in their foraging schedules, exploiting a relatively narrow portion of the flowering season. Specifically, range-stable species show less variance in phenology in response to temporally and spatially changing conditions than range-expanding ones. Because flowering duration drives the seasonal abundance of floral resources at the landscape scale, we hypothesize that canalisation of phenology in alpine bumble bees could reduce their access to earlier or later season flowers. Warmer conditions are decreasing abundances of range-stable alpine bumble bees above the timberline, increasing abundance of range-expanding species, and facilitating a novel and more species-diverse bumble bee community. However, this trend is not explained by greater phenological mismatch of range-stable bees. Results suggest that conversion of historic habitats for cold-adapted alpine bumble bee species into refugia for more heat-tolerant congeners is disrupting bumble bee communities at high elevations, though the precise mechanisms accounting for these changes are not yet known. If warming continues, we predict that the transient increase in diversity due to colonization by historically low-elevation species will likely give way to declines of alpine bumble bees in the central Rocky Mountains.

Transcriptional and metabolic changes in Candida albicans during yeast-to-hypha transition

In this study hypha-associated transcriptional and metabolic changes were investigated in the opportunistich human pathogen Candida albicans. Three different strains were investigated the SC5314 wildtype and two filamentation-affected mutant strains cph1Δefg1Δ and hgc1Δ. Three different hypha-inducing conditions were compared with two respective yeast conditions: SD minimal medium with 10% human serum or N-acetylglucosamin vs. SD minimal medium, and M199 pH7.4 vs. M199 pH4. Sampling time points were 0, 90 and 240 min. ON cultures were prepared in SD and re-inoculated in SD and grown to early log-phase prior to the experiment. Cells were collected, washed and used to inoculate the test medium at OD0.3. All cultures were generally maintained at 37°C. Obtained samples were submitted for transcriptional profiling (RNA-Seq with 10 million reads per sample and 150 bp paired-ends) and metabolomics. Media list: SD: 2% glucose, 0.17% YNB without amino acids, 0.5% ammonium sulfate, pH 4.5 HS - SD with 10 vol% human serum (Male, AB negative) GlcNAc - 2% N-acetylglucosamine, 0.17% YNB without amino acids, 0.5% ammonium sulfate, pH 4.5 Medium 199 with Earle's salts and L-Glu  buffered to either pH 4 or 7.4 by addition of 1/5 volume of 0.1 M citric acid and 0.2 M Na2HPO4 buffer

Oxidation of L-leucine amino acid initiated by HO● radical - Are transition metal ions an enhancement factor?

Hydroxyl radical (HO●) formation initiated by the Fenton-type reactions of Fe and Cu complexes of L-leucine (Leu) amino acid, as well as its oxidation reaction by HO● were computationally investigated by using the density functional theory (DFT) method at the M05-2X/6-311++G(3df,2pd)//M05-2X/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory in the aqueous phase. The results showed that dipole-salt is the main form of Leu in the physiological condition. Leu exhibits high chelating potential towards both Fe(III)/Fe(II) and Cu(II)/Cu(I) ions with the most favorable coordinating positions at two oxygen atoms of the –COO functional groups. Furthermore, the Leu-ions complexes show a high risk of HO● formation via Fenton-like reactions, especially when ascorbate anion exists in the environment as a reducing agent. Finally, the oxidation reaction of L-leucine by HO● demonstrated a relatively high overall apparent reaction rate – koverall being 1.18 × 109 M-1s-1, in which formal hydrogen transfer (FHT) reactions of the dipole-salt form occur as the primary mechanism. Consequently, the Leu oxidation by HO● radical can be promoted by the Fenton-reaction enhancement of its transition metal complexes.

Eusociality and the transition from biparental to alloparental care in termites

<ol> <li>In eusocial organisms, cooperative brood care within a colony represents a situation where the ancestral parental care duties have shifted away from the reproductive parent(s) towards their own offspring. The shift to alloparental care was often instrumental in the initial emergence of eusociality, as it ultimately contributed to the establishment of reproductive division of labor.</li> <li>Remarkably, eusocial taxa such as ants and termites, which still display an ancestral independent colony foundation phase, must go through an obligatory parental care period, as a temporary subsocial family unit. In termites specifically, an incipient colony inherently remains a woodroach family unit until alloparental care is established. Colony foundation success can then be limited by a series of factors that may include environmental, behavioral, symbiotic, and physiological constraints.</li> <li>In this study, 450 incipient termite colonies (Coptotermes gestroi) were established to investigate the timing of physiological changes in founders during the transition from biparental to alloparental care. Results showed that the finite initial internal nutritional resources that alates carry during the dispersal flight are a primary limiting factor for successful colony establishment. The Coptotermes queen and king must rapidly establish (< 150 d) their first cohort of offspring to reach alloparental care or simply run out of resources and die. Alates, therefore, carry just enough internal resources to produce the first few alloparents (< 15 workers) to prime the system toward colony ergonomic growth, with a definitive shift to solely reproductive functions.</li> <li>Eusocial insect primary reproductive traits were optimized for three successive functions within the life cycle of a colony: alate dispersal (sexual reproduction), colony foundation (parental care), and colony growth (increased egg production toward colony maturity). However, results suggest that trade-offs involving these functions appear to primarily favor dispersal ones (quantity vs. quality of alates), as founder(s) carry minimal resources and have no room for parental care inefficiency, and as they then fully rely on their alloparents for further reproductive output.</li> </ol> The transition toward alloparental care during colony foundation of eusocial insects may therefore reflect on the initial evolutionary transition from ancestral subsociality to eusociality.

Innovation Systems & Policy Insight 3_2022 "Responsible Research & Innovation approach for transitioning the traditional industry regions into digitalized industry territories"

In this ISP Insight Video, coordinator Marianne Hörlesberger tells you more about the EU Project DigiTeRRI which deals with a Responsible Research & Innovation Approach for transitioning the traditional industry regions into digitalised industry territories. The EU project DigiTeRRI empowers 3 traditional industry regions to harness the opportunities presented by digitalisation. The project has co-created a framework and roadmaps for a responsible transition to self-sustaining, digitalised industrial innovation ecosystems. It has worked out the challenges in the interplay between business, academia, government and society to initiate openness, democratic accountability and responsiveness in a process that will in turn promote resilience within these new, digitalised innovation ecosystems. Important attributes for this transition are also gender equality, science education, open access, public engagement, and ethics, which support both organisations and citizens in adapting the transformation that is revolutionising research, industry, economy, & society. Finally, 12 actions, based on the roadmap goals and objectives in each territory have been developed and implemented. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement nº 873010.
