AEM thanks the Leverhulme Trust (RPG-2019-401).

Dated, geo-referenced museum specimens are a rich data source for reconstructing species' distribution and abundance patterns. However, museum records are potentially biased towards over-representation of rare species, and it is unclear whether museum records can be used to estimate relative abundance in the field. 2. We assembled 17 coupled field and museum datasets to quantitatively compare relative abundance estimates with the Dirichlet distribution. Collectively, these datasets comprise 73,039 museum records and 1,405,316 field observations of 2,240 species. 3. Although museum records of rare species overestimated relative abundance by 1-fold to over 100-fold (median study = 9.0), the relative abundance of species estimated from museum occurrence records was strongly correlated with relative abundance estimated from standardized field surveys (r2 range of 0.10-0.91, median study = 0.43). 4. These analyses provide a justification for estimating species relative abundance with carefully curated museum occurrence records, which may allow for the detection of temporal or spatial shifts in the rank ordering of common and rare species.

    الوصف: Key points1 Maternity services across Europe during the pandemic has undergone changes to limit virus transmission; however, many changes are not evidence-based.2 Although these changes were introduced to keep women, babies and healthcare staff safe, the exclusion of companions and the separation of mothers and babies is particularly antithetical to a human rights-based approach to quality care.3 A poll of COST Action 18211 network members showed that inconsistency in the application of restrictions was high, and there were significant deviations from the recommendations of authoritative bodies.4 Concerns have emerged that restrictions in practice may have longer term negative impacts on mothers and their families and, in particular, may impact on the long-term health of babies.5 When practice changes deviate from evidence-based frameworks that underpin quality care, they must be monitored, appraised and evaluated to minimise unintended iatrogenic effects.

    الوصف: The EU COST Action DNAqua‐Net has since its start in 2016 gathered European researchers with the quest to standardize and implement DNA‐based aquatic biomonitoring. On March 9–11, 2021, their work culminated in their first conference. Here, an astounding 1500 participants from around the world gathered virtually to share their research on DNA‐based aquatic biomonitoring encompassing DNA reference databases, field and laboratory protocols, data analyses and storage, implementation strategy and legal issues, and biotic indices and metrics. The overwhelming interest in DNA‐based aquatic bioassessment and monitoring strongly underlines its relevance and timeliness.

    الوصف: The paper describes the PARSEME-It corpus, developed within the PARSEME-It project which aims at the development of methods, tools and resources for multiword expressions (MWE) processing for the Italian language. The project is a spin-off of a larger multilingual project for more than 20 languages from several language families, namely the PARSEME COST Action. The first phase of the project was devoted to verbal multiword expressions (VMWEs). They are a particularly interesting lexical phenomenon because of frequent discontinuity and long-distance dependency. Besides they are very challenging for deep parsing and other Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. Notably, MWEs are pervasive in natural languages but are particularly difficult to be handled by NLP tools because of their characteristics and idiomaticity. They pose many challenges to their correct identification and processing: they are a linguistic phenomenon on the edge between lexicon and grammar, their meaning is not simply the addition of the meanings of the single constituents of the MWEs and they are ambiguous since in several cases their reading can be literal or idiomatic. Although several studies have been devoted to this topic, to the best of our knowledge, our study is the first attempt to provide a general framework for the identification of VMWEs in running texts and a comprehensive corpus for the Italian language.

    الوصف: The European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) is a funding organisation for the creation of research networks, called COST Actions. COST Action 16125 was dedicated to European network for translational research in children's and adult interstitial lung disease. Working Group 5 of the COST Action CA16125 focussed on the problems of transition of children with interstitial lung diseases from paediatric to adult care. Results of this survey performed among members of the Working Group and some affiliated specialists showed highly variable and inadequate current system of transitions of these patients to adult care in most centres. In most centres there is no established and consistent procedure to guarantee appropriate transfer of information and prepare the patient for transition to a new specialist and a new team. Immediate action is therefore required. The Working Group has prepared a model procedure for the transition, based on protocols from several centres with established pathways, either for childhood interstitial lung disease or other chronic respiratory diseases.
    Transition of children with interstitial lung disease to adult care is a critical part of long-term follow-up and care. There is a lack of standardised procedures across European centres. This article suggests a structured procedure for this transition. https://bit.ly/2M2Y7EVTest

    الوصف: In 2018, as part of an EU COST Action (COST Action 15221 – www.werelate.eu), 43 academics, based at various higher education institutions in Europe, were asked about existing and desirable centralised support for writing, research, teaching and learning. This article draws on the academics’ responses. It uses that data to demonstrate the ways in which the learner-centred approach, typically adopted by writing centres, might function as a blueprint for a blended centralised support model for these four strands of higher education. In order to explore this idea, the article examines the reported support for research, as the data suggest that the majority of the centralised supports that currently exist at these institutions are designed primarily to support research. The study unpicks the mechanisms and approaches that are designed to ensure that research can be supported; it identifies what is effective in terms of supporting staff as researchers. From there, turning to the existing and desirable supports for writing, teaching and learning, I argue that, using a learner-centred writing centre model as inspiration, the structures which are currently in place to effectively support research can be modified and repurposed to more effectively support writing, teaching, and learning in higher education.

    الوصف: The Research Workshop “Towards an enabling ecosystem for social enterprises”, organized within the framework of the COST Action “Empowering the next generation of social enterprise scholars” (Empower-SE) was held at the University of Bucharest, Faculty of Sociology and Social Work in February 2020. The aim of the workshop was to facilitate a vivid dialogue between stakeholders and researchers on the complex topic of social enterprise development and scaling. This short report, included in the JEOD “Conference letter” section, briefly illustrates the presentations, which offered a complex image of country and regional variations of social enterprise ecosystems in Europe generated by the historical and cultural backgrounds, the degree of institutionalization and the specificity of the policy and political context for social enterprises.

    الوصف: Carotenoids are isoprenoids widely distributed in foods that have been always part of the diet of humans. Unlike the other so-called food bioactives, some carotenoids can be converted into retinoids exhibiting vitamin A activity, which is essential for humans. Furthermore, they are much more versatile as they are relevant in foods not only as sources of vitamin A, but also as natural pigments, antioxidants, and health-promoting compounds. Lately, they are also attracting interest in the context of nutricosmetics, as they have been shown to provide cosmetic benefits when ingested in appropriate amounts. In this work, resulting from the collaborative work of participants of the COST Action European network to advance carotenoid research and applications in agro-food and health (EUROCAROTEN, www.eurocaroten.eu, https://wwwTest.cost.eu/actions/CA15136/#tabs|Name:overview) research on carotenoids in foods and feeds is thoroughly reviewed covering aspects such as analysis, carotenoid food sources, carotenoid databases, effect of processing and storage conditions, new trends in carotenoid extraction, daily intakes, use as human, and feed additives are addressed. Furthermore, classical and recent patents regarding the obtaining and formulation of carotenoids for several purposes are pinpointed and briefly discussed. Lastly, emerging research lines as well as research needs are highlighted.
    This article is based upon work from COST Action (European network to advance carotenoid research and applications in agro-food and health, EUROCAROTEN, CA15136, www.eurocaroten.eu, https://wwwTest.cost.eu/actions/CA15136/#tabs|Name:overview) supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology, http://wwwTest.cost.eu/).

    الوصف: In the framework of the Cost Action CERTBOND (Reliable roadmap for certification of bonded primary structures), a wide group of researchers from 27 European Countries have had the opportunity to work on the topic of certification of bonded joints for primary structural applications from different engineering sectors such as the aerospace, automotive, civil engineering, wind energy and marine sectors. Since virtual testing and optimization are basic tools in the certification process, one of the key objectives of CERTBOND is to critically review some of the available models and failure theories for adhesive joints. The present paper summarizes the outcome of this task. Nine different models/theories are described in detail. Specifically, reviewed are the Classical Analytical Methods, the Process Zone Methods, Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM), the Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT), the Stress Singularity Approach, Finite Fracture Mechanics (FFM), the Cohesive Zone Method (CZM), the Progressive Damage Modeling method and the Probabilistic methods. Also, at the end of the paper, the modeling of temperature effects on adhesive joints have been addressed. For each model/theory, information on the methodology, the required input, the main results, the advantages and disadvantages and the applications are given.
