The current study focuses on the short-term effect of MARIO, a social robot, on quality of life, depression, and perceived social support in persons with dementia (PWD) and evaluates their acceptability of MARIO. Ten PWD in one nursing home took part in a 4-week pilot study, where each participant had up to 12 sessions with MARIO. Sessions comprised engagement in music, news, reminiscence, games, and calendar applications. Standardized questionnaires were administered before and after the 4-week period. Participants had a sustained interest in MARIO during their interactions and an acceptance of MARIO's appearance, sound, and applications. Consequently, participants spent more time socially engaged. No statistically significant differences were found in quality of life, depression, and perceived social support. PWD can engage with a social robot in a real-world nursing home. Future research should incorporate a larger sample and longer intervention period. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 45(7), 36–45.], Dementia is a major individual, societal, and economic challenge. With rising trends in life expectancy, the number of persons with dementia (PWD) is expected to more than triple to 152 [...]

Strengthening and retrofitting techniques are often required for guaranteeing the integrity of Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures to prevent seismic risk. In such a framework, Externally Bonded (EB) FRP strengthening systems have proven their effectiveness in enhancing the flexural performances of structural members both in terms of bearing capacity and ductility. In order to improve the bond in the vicinity of RC joints, embedded anchors represent an attractive solution in terms of both performances and ease of installation. Nevertheless, their mechanical behaviour is often associated with localised deformation mechanisms that can strongly affect the overall structural response. A novel experimental apparatus has therefore been designed in order to carry out in-situ bending tests on small-scale strengthened beams in conjunction with 3D tomography and study the interaction between concrete and anchors. The main goal is to track the evolution of material degradation over the entire loading history by means of Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) and to reconstruct the kinematics of the strengthened region. From a numerical point of view, an enriched finite element model inspired by the Strong Discontinuity Approach (SDA) has been developed with the aim of improving the interface representation. By means of a kinematic enrichment, this strategy allows, on the one hand, to account for complex mechanical behaviours such as pull-out deformation modes and debonding mechanisms, on the other hand, to limit the computational effort. The calibration of the interfacial behaviour is then realised by means of the in-situ experimental results which allow to validate the model in the case of non-linear problems.; Des opérations de renforcement ou réparation sont souvent nécessaires pour garantir l’intégrité des structures en Béton Armé (BA) vis-à-vis du risque sismique. Dans ce cadre, le Polymère Renforcé de Fibres (PRF) stratifié au contact a démontré son efficacité pour améliorer le comportement en flexion des éléments de structures tant en termes de résistance que de ductilité. Afin d’en améliorer la liaison en proximité des jonctions, les ancrages noyés dans le béton représentent une solution avantageuse en termes de performances et de facilité de mise en place. Néanmoins, leur comportement mécanique est fréquemment associé à des mécanismes locaux de déformation qui peuvent affecter la réponse globale de la structure. Un nouveau montage expérimental a été donc conçu pour réaliser des essais de flexion in-situ sur des poutres renforcées de petite échelle avec l’utilisation de la tomographie 3D et étudier l’interaction entre le béton et les ancrages. L’objectif principal est de suivre grâce à la Corrélation d’Images Volumiques (CIV) l’évolution de la dégradation du matériau pendant le chargement et de reconstruire la cinématique de la zone renforcée. D’un point de vue numérique, un modèle éléments finis enrichis inspiré par la Méthode des Discontinuités Fortes (SDA) a été développé dans le but d’améliorer la représentation de l’interface. De cette façon, des comportements mécaniques complexes comme les phénomènes d’arrachement peuvent être facilement reproduits, en limitant en même temps le coût de calcul.

International audience; The embedding of anchoring systems in the retrofitting of Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures by means of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) often implies local failure modes associated to high stress concentrations. In order to account for such mechanical behaviours in standard finite element computations, an explicit representation of interfaces is required. This strategy presents, however , several limitations in terms of computational cost and mesh-related issues. On the other hand, implicit models may not be sufficiently accurate in order to reproduce the aforementioned localized phenomena. Specific finite elements for the simulation of pull-out mechanisms are here presented. The presence of interfaces is taken into account by enriching the displacement approximation by means of additional unknowns defined at the element level. Static-condensation, therefore, allows preserving the structure of the finite element procedure and limiting the computational effort.

INTERFACE structures ,BOUNDARY value problems ,FINITE, The ,DIFFERENTIAL inclusions - Abstract
When linear inclusions are embedded into a matrix, a perturbation is introduced in the boundary value problem written at the macroscale. Such inhomogeneity can provoke sharp gradients in the solution and a correct evaluation of the interface stress state reveals necessary when localized material degradations can lead to global failure mechanisms. In order to account for such refined description in large‐scale structural problems, a novel enhanced implicit finite element formulation is presented. The standard displacement approximation is improved by means of a kinematic enrichment aimed at reproducing the local interaction between the matrix and the inclusion. The microscale interface behavior can then be directly evaluated from the stress jump arising in the bulk. From a computational point of view, this translates in solving an additional local equilibrium equation. The static boundary conditions at the inclusion ends are thus exactly verified and a good precision is achieved with minimal meshing effort and code modifications. The proposed model is applied to elementary and structural examples involving singularities and it is compared to other modeling strategies with focus both on global and local quantities as well on the convergence properties and corresponding CPU times of the approximated solution.

- Abstract
The CERN-MEDICIS (MEDical Isotopes Collected from ISolde) facility has delivered its first radioactive ion beam at CERN (Switzerland) in December 2017 to support the research and development in nuclear medicine using non-conventional radionuclides. Since then, fourteen institutes, including CERN, have joined the collaboration to drive the scientific program of this unique installation and evaluate the needs of the community to improve the research in imaging, diagnostics, radiation therapy and personalized medicine. The facility has been built as an extension of the ISOLDE (Isotope Separator On Line DEvice) facility at CERN. Handling of open radioisotope sources is made possible thanks to its Radiological Controlled Area and laboratory. Targets are being irradiated by the 1.4 GeV proton beam delivered by the CERN Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) on a station placed between the High Resolution Separator (HRS) ISOLDE target station and its beam dump. Irradiated target materials are also received from external institutes to undergo mass separation at CERN-MEDICIS. All targets are handled via a remote handling system and exploited on a dedicated isotope separator beamline. To allow for the release and collection of a specific radionuclide of medical interest, each target is heated to temperatures of up to 2,300°C. The created ions are extracted and accelerated to an energy up to 60 kV, and the beam steered through an off-line sector field magnet mass separator. This is followed by the extraction of the radionuclide of interest through mass separation and its subsequent implantation into a collection foil. In addition, the MELISSA (MEDICIS Laser Ion Source Setup At CERN) laser laboratory, in service since April 2019, helps to increase the separation efficiency and the selectivity. After collection, the implanted radionuclides are dispatched to the biomedical research centers, participating in the CERN-MEDICIS collaboration, for Research & Development in imaging or treatment. Since its commissioning, the CERN-MEDICIS facility has provided its partner institutes with non-conventional medical radionuclides such as Tb-149, Tb-152, Tb-155, Sm-153, Tm-165, Tm-167, Er-169, Yb-175, and Ac-225 with a high specific activity. This article provides a review of the achievements and milestones of CERN-MEDICIS since it has produced its first radioactive isotope in December 2017, with a special focus on its most recent operation in 2020., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2021 Duchemin, Ramos, Stora, Ahmed, Aubert, Audouin, Barbero, Barozier, Bernardes, Bertreix, Boscher, Bruchertseifer, Catherall, Chevallay, Christodoulou, Chrysalidis, Cocolios, Comte, Crepieux, Deschamps, Dockx, Dorsival, Fedosseev, Fernier, Formento-Cavaier, El Idrissi, Ivanov, Gadelshin, Gilardoni, Grenard, Haddad, Heinke, Juif, Khalid, Khan, Köster, Lambert, Lilli, Lunghi, Marsh, Palenzuela, Martins, Marzari, Menaa, Michel, Munos, Pozzi, Riccardi, Riegert, Riggaz, Rinchet, Rothe, Russell, Saury, Schneider, Stegemann, Talip, Theis, Thiboud, van der Meulen, van Stenis, Vincke, Vollaire, Vuong, Webster, Wendt, Wilkins and the CERN-MEDICIS collaboration.)
