Abstract	This is a summary of the clustering workshop at the Sustainable Places 2022 conference. The H2020 funded projects LIGHTNESS, HESTIA, LocalRES and CREATORS came together to shed light on the importance of engaging people and unlocking the potential of technologies to promote energy communities and meet the EU's ambition of a joint net-zero emission of greenhouse gases by the year 2050. To ensure a people-centric, sustainable, just, and innovative energy future, citizens and experts must be brought into dialogue to co-design new ways of organising around energy.

Abstract	Higher education students have faced several changes in their lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to explore the effect of dispositional optimism in students' fear of COVID-19 and to test the mediating role of general anxiety in the relationship between optimism and fear. Using an online survey, data were collected during the second wave of the pandemic in Portugal. The sample included 312 higher education students (76% females) aged 18-25 years old, who completed measures of dispositional optimism, general anxiety and fear of COVID-19. The results showed that higher optimism and lower general anxiety reduce fear of COVID-19. Moreover, the link between optimism and fear is fully mediated by general anxiety, showing that optimism reduces fear of COVID-19 indirectly through the reduction of students' anxiety. The role of optimism, anxiety and fear in higher education students is discussed and topics for further research are presented.

Abstract	Background: The Asian chestnut gall wasp (ACGW) Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu is the most severe pest of the genus Castanea worldwide. After its arrival in Europe, the insect dispersed rapidly from Italy to other European countries, as well as spreading over long distances within each country because of the unintentional transport of infested chestnut material owing to the fact that infestation inside the dormant buds is visually undetectable. Hot water treatment (HWT) has been tested in terms of pest and diseases control in propagation processes with a wide range of plant material and species, including the Asian chestnut Castanea mollissima cv 'Qing'. Taking into account the different thermal tolerances of plant species, an experiment to disinfect Castanea sativa scions from ACGW by HWT was performed. The effects of the immersion of dormant scions for 10 min at two water temperatures (49 and 52 °C), with and without a previous period of water hydration, were tested. Results: A 10 min soak at 49 °C was effective in killing ACGW larvae while retaining an excellent percentage of successful grafts. The pre-HWT hydration stage did not influence the success of the treatment. Positive shoot growth was also recorded after HWT. Conclusions: We report for the first time the effectiveness of a simple and environmentally friendly protocol based on hot water for the disinfection of European chestnut (C. sativa) scions against D. kuriphilus. This will enable nurseries to supply plants free from this pest, preventing the insect dispersion, which will have a positive socio-economic impact to the chestnut tree sector. Also positive environmental impact will be favoured as gall wasp proliferation will decrease. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract	Castor (Ricinus communis) is a relevant industrial oilseed feedstock for many industrial applications, being globally mainly cultivated by smallholder farmers in semiarid areas, where abiotic stresses predominate. Therefore, susceptible to generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subsequent oxidative stress, compromising cell metabolism upon seed imbibition and germination, seedling and crop establishment, and yield. The present study evaluated the consequences of water restriction by Polyethylene glycol (PEG) and Sodium chloride (NaCl) on cell cycle and metabolism reactivation on germinability, seedling growth, and vigor parameters in 2 commercial castor genotypes (Nordestina and Paraguaçu). PEG water restriction inhibited germination completely at -0.23 MPa or higher, presumably due to reduced oxygen availability. The restrictive effects of NaCl saline stress on germination were observed only from -0.46 MPa onwards, affecting dry mass accumulation and the production of normal seedlings. In general, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity increased in NaCl -0.23 MPa, whereas its modulation during the onset of imbibition (24h) seemed to depend on its initial levels in dry seeds in a genotype-specific manner, therefore, resulting in the higher stress tolerance of Nordestina compared to Paraguaçu. Overall, results show that Castor germination and seedling development are more sensitive to the restrictive effects of PEG than NaCl at similar osmotic potentials, contributing to a better understanding of the responses to water restriction stresses by different Castor genotypes. Ultimately, SOD may constitute a potential marker for characterizing castor genotypes in stressful situations during germination, early seedling, and crop establishment, and a target for breeding for Castor-improved stress tolerance.

Abstract	We characterized the neurocognitive profile of communed-based individuals and unaffected siblings of patients with psychosis from Brazil reporting psychotic experiences (PEs). We also analyzed associations between PEs and the intra and inter-functional connectivity (FC) in the Default Mode Network (DMN), the Fronto-Parietal Network (FPN) and the Salience Network (SN) measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging. The combined sample of communed-based individuals and unaffected siblings of patients with psychosis comprised 417 (neurocognition) and 85 (FC) volunteers who were divided as having low (<75th percentile) and high (≥75th percentile) PEs (positive, negative, and depressive dimensions) assessed by the Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences. The neurocognitive profile and the estimated current brief intellectual quotient (IQ) were assessed using the digit symbol (processing speed), arithmetic (working memory), block design (visual learning) and information (verbal learning) subtests of Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-third edition. Logistic regression models were performed for neurocognitive analysis. For neuroimaging, we used the CONN toolbox to assess FC between the specified regions, and ROI-to-ROI analysis. In the combined sample, high PEs (all dimensions) were related to lower processing speed performance. High negative PEs were related to poor visual learning performance and lower IQ, while high depressive PEs were associated with poor working memory performance. Those with high negative PEs presented FPN hypoconnectivity between the right and left lateral prefrontal cortex. There were no associations between PEs and the DMN and SN FC. Brazilian individuals with high PEs showed neurocognitive impairments like those living in wealthier countries. Hypoconnectivity in the FPN in a community sample with high PEs is coherent with the hypothesis of functional dysconnectivity in schizophrenia.

Article: A Distress-Based Condition Assessment Approach of Urban Water Assets Using Novel Deterioration Indices

Abstract	This paper aims at proposing and demonstrating the application of a novel distress-based condition assessment approach to evaluate the physical condition of inspectable urban water assets based on the classification of anomalies in terms of severity, intensity and extension using three new deterioration indices. These indices are, firstly, calculated at the asset component level and, then, aggregated at the asset level and at the infrastructure level by weighing the component indices with the respective replacement cost or criticality. A condition grading classification associated with the deterioration indices is proposed. The novel distress-based condition assessment approach is applied to 22 drinking water storage tanks and 17 wastewater pumping stations located in Portugal, that have been specifically inspected for this purpose. Results of deterioration indices are compared with those obtained by the value-based condition assessment approach. Results demonstrate that the proposed approach allows a more reliable assessment of the assets’ condition and a more robust establishment of priority rehabilitation or maintenance interventions.
