Toward alternative geographies of Luxembourg's relational urbanisation (ALTGEO)
This project seeks to explore the particular challenges of the COVID-19 disease for the relational urbanisation of Luxembourg and aims to identify possible alternative geographies for the Grand Duchy. It acknowledges the need to develop strategies for mid- or long-term adaptation to COVID-19 and associated policy measures, and will therefore focus on the geographical dimension of the problem. In our previous GLOBAL research project (C15_SR_10352117), we approached Luxembourg as having undergone relational urbanisation. Cities are relational in their ability to extract streams of profit from...
Efficacity of probiotics on coronavirus in order to overcome upcoming outbreaks
The objective of this project is to develop efficient and resistant probiotic based cleaners to reduce and limit the proliferation of the coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2) responsible of the covid-19 pandemic. Hard surfaces cleaner (dedicated to hospitals and house care cleaning), as well as hands cleaner will be developed based on the synergy between probiotics formulation as well as active natural and environmentally friendly molecules designed for cleaning. Probiotics were shown to have beneficial effect on several viral diseases, while microbial based cleaning products have shown to red...
TrapNclean
Some studies have demonstrated that SARS-CoV is stable almost 2 weeks after drying in standard air conditions and 3 weeks in a liquid environment. Therefore the role of fomites and environmental contamination play a significant role in virus transmission. It has been shown that Coronaviridae is less stable in high humidity and can be easily killed by heating at 56C during 15mn. We propose a solution which combines high temperature at high humidity as a synergistic inactivation of COVID19. A functional coating could be applied to masks, filtering systems for respiratory masks or gloves in...
How much do respirators protect healthcare workers from COVID19?
In the context of the current Covid-19 pandemic, it became clear that while performing treatment procedures on contaminated patients, medical personnel could be exposed to SARS-CoV-2 virus. Respirators (intended to protect the healthcare workers) provide a tight seal with the face of the wearer, and must meet rigorous standards on high filtration efficiencies and rigorous certification. In Europe, respirators such as FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3 are certificated by 'Conformité Européenne' (CE) in order to meet filtration efficiencies of 80%, 94% and 99% against particles of 0.3µm, respectively. Taki...
Spark Project- Sharing cultural Heritage
An invitation to individual and community to share a component of their culture through a short web post. It will help people who receive it to open themselves to other realities. A recurring post proposiition will create a feeling of journey by staying in quarantine. It will help to soft better the current hard time. In some way to give hope in the future and refrain fearing the stranger.
