Open and overlooked: the penalties for preprint open access papers and translated journals in citation analysis Paul Donner* *donner@dzhw.eu ORCID: 0000-0001-5737-8483 Department 2 ‘Research System and Science Dynamics’, German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science Studies (DZHW), Germany The citations to open access preprint versions of papers and citations to papers in journals translated to English are not regularly counted in major proprietary citation index databases or in ordinary bibliometric research assessment even though they arguably reflect a true part of a work’s scientific impact. Here we explore the extent of these phenomena using Web of Science data. 1. Introduction Many scientific publications are published as open access preprints, often a considerable time before any eventual formal publication in a scientific journal or book. These versions may receive substantial numbers of citations which would not be counted in conventional citation analysis because the default mode is that only citations to regularly published items are counted. This could potentially disadvantage authors and institutions committed to sharing their findings early, openly, and widely. Here we investigate the size of this possible distortion which prior research shows as being far from negligibly small. Aman (2015) found that WoS-indexed references to arXiv alone, for publications from 1991- 2013, amount to 900,000 in number, more than enough to motivate an updated analysis including the wider preprint literature. Many studies have tried to identify an open access citation advantage (Langham-Putrow, Bakker, & Riegelman, 2021). Insofar as these studies have not included citations to preprint versions of both open and closed access publications, their results would be questionable. Collecting and analyzing citations to preprint versions of articles also has other applications. Traag (2021) used arXiv preprint citations to published works to formally estimate the causal effect of publication of articles in specific journals on citation impact of articles, i.e. a journal halo effect. Scopus has included preprints as listed documents on author profiles since 2021 but citations to these are not included. In 2023 Clarivate Analytics launched the Preprint Citation Index, covering documents from five platforms. This index provides citation counts tallying references from preprints to preprints and links cited references to the Web of Science Core Collection. However, citation counts to preprint and final published versions of the same item are also not unified in Web of Science. We experimentally carry out exactly this crucial additional process and analyze its consequences. A similar situation exists for articles in translated journals. A small number of journals are published in a language other than English and are translated back-to-back. Referencing authors could cite either version but the citation counts should be unified at some point for valid citation analysis. Web of Science may index either version of some of these journals so it would appear most appropriate to also link citing references to original and translated item to the indexed items to fully reflect their citation impact. Aksenteva (2015) raised awareness of this issue, noting that the indexing policy of SCI/WoS has been inconsistent. Figure 1 shows an updated version of the example case she gave. WoS identified and counted 35 of the references to the

U Senior Lecturar of the Department of Economics, PhD, Bukhara State University Abstract This article examines the theoretical foundations of the concept of the budget, the importance of the stability of the budget system, the factors influencing the budget system, and the impact of these factors on socio-economic development, with conclusions drawn at the end. Keywords Budget, budget system, federal budget system, unitary budget system, local budget. In the post-pandemic environment, countries are implementing reforms to enhance economic development. Most of these reforms lead to an increase in budget expenditures, which in turn results in a rise in the budget deficit. Controlling the budget deficit is primarily related to the stability of the budget systems. The timely execution of state functions is directly tied to the financing of planned reforms. It is evident that the distribution of revenues, expenditures, and powers between the budget tiers affects the timing of financing. Russian scientis N.Kozlov considers specific aspects of the financial support of the implementation of the powers of local government46. In particular, he notes the formation of the principle of delimiting income and expenses between the budgets of the budget system in Russian Federation, taking into account the adequacy and criterion of the competence for the implementation of expenses. It also justifies the need for local government bodies to attach certain income to them in the performance of their functions and duties. In general, it is known that the federal states have a wide range of powers to independently manage the income and expenses of territorial budgets. Currently, 46 Козлов Н.И.

Sailor2 1The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, USA 2Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM, USA The potential role of nuclear ﬁssion to meet increased future energy demand while re- ducing greenhouse gas emissions and controlling nuclear proliferation is assessed. The World Energy Council projection for an environmentally driven future is used, which projects deployment of nearly 3 TW(e) of nuclear generation by 2100, with concurrent reduction of global CO2 emissions to one-third of present levels. We simulate three sce- narios based on this demand curve that rely on evolutionary and advanced systems of reactors. The scenarios differ only in fuel cycle choice between once-through, transmu- tation, and breeding. We show that the cost of nuclear power will likely remain a min- imum using the once through fuel cycle, which, we argue, also minimizes proliferation risks. The other two fuel cycle choices have the beneﬁts of decreased waste production and increased uranium resource utilization, but these come at a price that is probably not acceptable unless the cost of repository space increases dramatically, or the cost of building advanced transmuting or breeding reactors can be reduced to a level lower than that of constructing new plants with contemporary technology. The importance of choice of discount rate in allocating resources to advanced nuclear technologies is dis- cussed. The linkage of fuel cycle choice with the international non-proliferation regime is emphasized. INTRODUCTION If the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)1 were ulti- mately successful it would result in an international carbon-abatement regime that enables a shift in energy supply to sources that do not emit CO2.2−4 Of the countries that are party to the UNFCCC, two with the lowest emissions of car- bon dioxide per unit of gross domestic product are Japan and France, the two countries with the greatest commitments to nuclear energy. While the “devel- oped” world currently is the greatest source of CO2 emissions, economic growth, and therefore energy demand growth, is expected to occur over the next century Received 31 August 2005; accepted 20 April 2006.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common age-related neurodegenerative disorders. PD is associated with dopaminergic neuronal loss in the substantia nigra pars compacta and the aggregation of misfolded proteins in the Lewy Bodies resulting in motor and non- motor symptoms. Risk of developing, mortality rate, progression and response to treatments are different in men and women. The molecular mechanisms associated with these differences are currently not fully elucidated.

DA TEORIA À PRÁTICA: como o processo de comunicação pode transformar a gestão de processos FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE: how the communication process can transform process management DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11388679 1 INTRODUÇÃO As organizações, públicas e privadas, além da dificuldade que encontram ao alinhar a sua gestão de processos com o seu plano de negócios, enfrentam problemas relacionados à comunicação da gestão dos processos. Esses problemas são agravados pela ausência de estímulos a fim de que os colaboradores envolvidos se engajem na efetiva execução daquilo que é planejado e desenhado. Dessa forma, um dos principais desafios das organizações é fazer com que a gestão de processos seja sistematicamente comunicada aos envolvidos. Ao analisar as etapas da gestão de processos, subentende-se que a comunicação deve ser considerada como primordial para o seu sucesso, conforme afirmam Bueno, Maculan e Aganette (2023): Uma organização eficiente deve ser capaz de desempenhar suas atividades de modo rápido e com o menor custo possível, e será eficaz quando conseguir fazer as coisas certas para cumprir os objetivos e metas traçados no planejamento estratégico da organização, de maneira independente e com qualidade, sem a necessidade de ajuda de terceiros. (BUENO, MACULAN, AGANETTE, 2023, p. 04) Portanto, um plano de comunicação teria como função agregar valor ao projeto e posicioná-lo como ferramenta fundamental para que os objetivos da organização sejam alcançados. Este resumo é fruto de um projeto de pesquisa, ainda em curso, apresentado ao Programa de Pós-Graduação Gestão e Organização do Conhecimento – PPGGOC. Sendo

Mediante distintos patróns de Tomografía de Coherencia Óptica (OCT), é posible medir o grosor das capas do tecido nervioso en diferentes partes da retina, extraendo información sobre o seu estado e a súa evolución. Neste traballo, presentamos dúas aproximacións automáticas baseadas en aprendizaxe profunda para a segmentación das capas da retina nos tres patróns OCT máis comúns para a diagnose do glaucoma: escaneos circulares ao redor do disco óptico, radiais a través do disco óptico, e volumétricos extraídos sobre a superficie macular. A primeira aproximación aproveita a similitude entre as distintas vistas da retina para adestrar un único modelo multi-vista capaz de realizar a segmentación en calquera dos patróns. A segunda aproximación utiliza unha serie de modelos especificamente adestrados para maximizar a precisión en cada unha das vistas, precedido por unha fase de decisión na que se determina automaticamente o modelo axeitado para analizar cada imaxe. Obtivéronse resultados satisfactorios, cunha precisión de 0.85±0.07 e 0.88±0.09, así coma unha exhaustividade de 0.87±0.06 e 0.87±0.07, respectivamente, para a primeira e segunda aproximación. O uso destes sistemas pode resultar de gran utilidade á hora de acadar unha diagnose precoz desta patoloxía, axudando a preservar a calidade de vida dos pacientes.

Unifying PIC laser simulation and mask layout: a new methodology demonstrated on a mode-locked-laser design D. Massella1, E.A.J.M. Bente2, R.G. Broeke3 and F. Diaz1 1University of Vigo, EI Telecomunicacion, Campus Universitario As Lagoas, 36310, Vigo, Spain 2Photonic Integration Group, Department of Electrical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, the Netherlands 3Bright Photonics B.V., Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Laser simulation and mask layout for photonic integrated circuits (PICs) typically take place in different design environments. This disconnect impairment can easily lead to laser designs that do not comply with manufacturing constraints, or errors in translating laser parameters from simulation to layout, e.g. optical path lengths. In this paper, we present the integration of two open source software tools for the development of complex laser circuits: layout tool Nazca Design and traveling wave simulation software PHIsim. The foundry compatible Nazca layout tool is used to build the laser circuit, which then one-on-one translates into the laser simulation model using the compact models in the foundry description. This method creates a linear design flow in contrast to commonly used back-and-forward approaches between layout and simulation. Our solution allows designers to use the standard Nazca interface for drawing layout and subsequently simulate the laser circuit straight from the layout netlist, hence, cutting out the need of complex auto-routing and allowing the designer to check the design rules and footprint in this preliminary phase. This not only saves design time but also leads to a better agreement between simulation and layout. The integration is demonstrated with a mode-locked laser PIC. Introduction Photonic integrated circuit design flow is currently divided in two different environments: a simulation environment and a layout environment. The typical workflow starts in a simulation interface with a simple circuit schematic and after that the circuit is converted into a layout. The designer carries out the passage from circuit schematic to layout, in most cases, even if a lot of commercial tools for circuit simulation have an export to layout option. The main difference between the automatic export of circuit schematic from the circuit simulation software and the methodology proposed in this paper is the need for the first of complex auto-routing algorithms that often end in wrong designs and unpredictable and/or inconvenient shapes of the connection elements. This is easy to understand, because the circuit schematic does not carry detailed information on the placement and position of the building blocks besides their connectivity. Another underestimated factor in the standard workflow is the layout footprint, because the circuit schematic does not carry information about layout details, although this is often a critical parameter. Instead, the method that we present here uses the known Nazca interface as a netlist builder for layout and circuit at the same time. The resulting netlist and data models are sent to the PHIsim laser simulator. This interface approach allows for parallel checking

The collider program itself will oﬀer important capabilities, including precision measurements in the Higgs sector and direct searches based on the mono-photon signature. With extreme intensities of the high-energy electron and positron beams, the ILC will also enable new ﬁxed-target measurements, both beam dump experiments and dedicated experiments using extracted beams. Described in this contribution are the expectations for these programs, which address various possible dark sector portals.

Instead the project shows how designers can create tools that trigger new or adaptive behaviour, tools that enable users to deal with mental health problems in their day-to-day lives, and tools that empower people. The interventions demonstrate how mental healthcare can shift from an emphasis on relieving symptoms to a focus on enabling people in achieving a meaningful life.

Poster: Byzantine Fault Tolerant State Machine Replication for Non-deterministic Applications 1st Pedro Camponˆes Department of Informatics NOVA University Lisbon Lisbon, Portugal p.campones@campus.fct.unl.pt 2nd Diogo Tavares Department of Informatics NOVA University Lisbon Lisbon, Portugal dc.tavares@campus.fct.unl.pt 3rd Jo˜ao Magalh˜aes Department of Informatics NOVA University Lisbon Lisbon, Portugal jmag@fct.unl.pt 4th Henrique Domingos Department of Informatics NOVA University Lisbon Lisbon, Portugal hj@fct.unl.pt Abstract—Byzantine Fault Tolerant State Machine Replication (BFT-SMR) is a widely used approach to provide availability and fault tolerance to applications by enabling the system to continue its correct execution even when some nodes present arbitrary faults. This is done by replicating for all nodes the execution and response to client requests. When the client receives enough identical responses, that response is delivered. In BFT- SMR all correct processes must produce equal responses to the client requests. This requisite hinders the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) given that these models inherently produce non- deterministic outputs. We introduce Model Answer Replication (MARS), an algorithm that allows the use of SMR in non- deterministic applications, particularly when employing LLMs. MARS’ key innovation is comparing responses to client requests by measuring their semantic similarity rather than bit by bit equality and allowing client side code to remain unaltered from what is found in SMR algorithms for deterministic applications. Index Terms—State Machine Replication, Byzantine Fault Tol- erance, Large Language Models, Non-deterministic Algorithms I. INTRODUCTION Instruction-tuned Large Language Models (LLMs) are deep- learning models designed to generate natural language textual responses to comply with user requests. Their success has enabled their integration into diverse applications, showcasing their utility across multiple domains [1], including critical applications such as medical diagnostics [2]. In critical applications, the safety and availability of the sys- tem is crucial. One common method to achieve this is through the Byzantine Fault Tolerant [3] State Machine Replication [4] (BFT-SMR) abstraction, where the components of the system are replicated. When a client issues a request, all nodes will execute it and send their response to the client, ensuring the system can execute correctly even when some nodes fail. With BFT-SMR, when a client makes a request, they receive multiple responses. If enough responses match, the system considers the request successful. This method clashes with LLMs, as their responses vary due to the non-determinism commonly introduced during language decoding. Existing solutions to abstract non-determinism in applications and allow This work was supported by the FCT/MCTES grants PRT/BD/152803/2021 and PRT/BD/154428/2022, as well as by NOVA LINCS UIDB/04516/2020 and UIDP/04516/2020 with the financial support of FCT.IP their use in the SMR approach [5], [6] fail to extend to the challenges posed by LLMs. We introduce Model Answer Replication (MARS), an algo- rithm designed to make LLMs compatible with SMR. To the best of our knowledge, this work represents the first attempt to address this issue. A key innovation of MARS is to compare server responses based on their semantic/conceptual similarity rather than by exact match. Furthermore, MARS and BFT- SMR protocols for deterministic operations differ in that in the latter the response the client delivers is the output of correct nodes, while in MARS, the response delivered can result from a byzantine node, as long as it is be deemed innocuous by correct nodes. This abstract outlines our ongoing work. We will: • Using fundamental concepts in BFT-SMR and unsuper- vised learning as basis (§ II) and under a realistic system model (§ III), we will specify (§ IV) and implement the MARS algorithm. • Validate and eval


Poster: Multi-Layer Threat Analysis of the Cloud Salman Manzoor Lancaster University United Kingdom s.manzoor1@lancaster.ac.uk Antonios Gouglidis Lancaster University United Kingdom a.gouglidis@lancaster.ac.uk Matthew Bradbury Lancaster University United Kingdom m.s.bradbury@lancaster.ac.uk Neeraj Suri Lancaster University United Kingdom neeraj.suri@lancaster.ac.uk ABSTRACT A variety of Threat Analysis (TA) techniques exist that typically target exploring threats to discrete assets (e.g., services, data, etc.) and reveal potential attacks pertinent to these assets. Furthermore, these techniques assume that the interconnection among the as- sets is static. However, in the Cloud, resources can instantiate or migrate across physical hosts at run-time, thus making the Cloud a dynamic environment. Additionally, the number of attacks target- ing multiple assets/layers emphasizes the need for threat analysis approaches developed for Cloud environments. Therefore, this pro- posal presents a novel threat analysis approach that specifically addresses multi-layer attacks. The proposed approach facilitates threat analysis by developing a technology-agnostic information flow model. It contributes to exploring a threat’s propagation across the operational stack of the Cloud and, consequently, holistically assessing the security of the Cloud.

Additionally, multiple technologies/services co-exist in the Cloud to provide functionality and flexibility in resource management, making the Cloud a complex environment with a complex threat landscape. This is evidenced by the increasing number of attacks and security breaches targeting the Cloud. For example, some attacks led to the leakage of users’ confidential information [3] while other attacks have targeted the availability of the Cloud [9]. The process of threat analysis is advocated to identify a system’s exposure to threats. Therefore, multiple threat analysis approaches for the Cloud have been proposed to explore threats targeting a Permission to make digital or hard copies of part or all of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page.

Alternate techniques, such as attack trees/graphs, have also been utilized to explore potential attack paths in the Cloud [2]. Existing approaches perform effective threat analysis [2, 5]. How- ever, they are either limited to identifying threats in the targeted asset or assume that the system under consideration is a static environment. Therefore, the applicability of existing schemes to dy- namic environments, e.g., the Cloud, is hindered due to these limita- tions. We address these challenges by proposing a novel threat anal- ysis approach that facilitates Cloud providers in exploring threats and their propagation, considering the inherent elasticity of the Cloud.

1 Possibility of making a kilo-watt inverter driven by the 3rd positive EMF (This paper was presented at Division of Energy and Fuels of the 252nd ACS National Meeting in Philadelphia, August, 22, 2016, paper number. ENFL 212.) Osamu Ide Foundation for the Advancement of Environmental Energy (FAEE) Clean Energy Research Laboratory, 3-4-21-601 Mita, Minato-ku, Tokyo, 108-0073, Japan Email: daphne@myad.jp Introduction At the staring of this research, the author found the 3rd positive EMF for a new source of clean energy in the motor driven by the discharging of a capacitor in 1980. The author called the motor Ether Engine. The author found the phenomenon that the capacitor charging voltage was increased, compared with the estimated value by the calculation, when the Ether Engine was running. The author had researched the phenomenon precisely in experimental and mathematically method. It was impossible to verify the phenomenon by the common electro-magnetism. Finally, the author reached the conclusion that it was due to an independent EMF induced in opposite direction of Faraday’s back EMF. The papers of the Ether Engine were presented in 1995 and 2000, * (1) (2). These papers are also related to * (9) (10) (11) presented by AIAS fellows. In 2000, the author changed the direction of this research from a motor to an inverter, applying the 3rd positive EMF because an inverter has no mechanical loss. In 2010, the author succeeded in making an inverter of 300% efficiency, * (3) (4) (7) (14). In 2015, the author has finally succeeded in making an inverter generator self-charging. Although the output of the inverter generator is around 1W, it exhausts no natural resources, * (13). This system should be adaptable to a power of kilo-watts to supply the power source for house and EV. This report shows the possibility and concept of constructing a kilo-watt inverter generator driven by the 3rd positive EMF. The basic experiment was already made and presented by the paper of the author at the ACS meeting in March 2015, *(5). The first perfect replication according to the author’s paper was made and presented by the Munich group of Dr. Horst Eckardt and Kurt Arenhold, * (8). The most amazing point of their paper is the phenomenon that the 3rd positive EMF could be derived from ECE theory by Dr. Myron Evans of AIAS. This report is the 2nd replication of the author’s paper * (5). However the scale of the experiment is much larger than in the first paper * (5), concerning the voltage of the power source and the inductance of the transformer.

An Accurate Implementation of the Studentized Range Distribution for Python Samuel Wallan1, Dominic Chmiel2, Matt Haberland3∗ 1. Computer Science and Software Engineering Department, Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo 2. Mechanical Engineering Department, Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo 3. BioResource and Agricultural Engineering Department, Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo ∗Corresponding Author, mhaberla@calpoly.edu 1 Introduction As data becomes more and more accessible, it can be tempting to misuse data analysis techniques to ﬁnd statistically signiﬁcant results, a practice known as “p-hacking”. Tukey’s HSD (Honestly Signiﬁcant Difference) test is one of several tests that guards against this practice by using the studentized range distribution to compute p-values that account for the number of comparisons performed. Implementations of Tukey’s HSD already exist within the scientiﬁc Python ecosystem, but they rely on approximations of the studentized range distribution that may not behave well outside of their intended range and, even within the intended range, are only accurate to a few digits. In this document, we present a fast, highly accurate, and direct implementation of the studentized range distribution for SciPy, and we demonstrate its speed and accuracy. 2 The Distribution The studentized range probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) take the following forms, respectively [1]: fR(q; k, ν) = √ 2π k (k −1) νν/2 Γ(ν/2) 2(ν/2−1) Z ∞ 0 sν φ(√ ν s) Z ∞ −∞φ(z + q s) φ(z) [Φ(z + q s) −Φ(z)]k−2 dz  ds (1) and FR(q; k, ν) = √ 2π k νν/2 Γ(ν/2) 2(ν/2−1) Z ∞ 0 sν−1φ(√ ν s) Z ∞ −∞φ(z) [Φ(z + q s) −Φ(z)]k−1 dz  ds, (2) where q > 0 is the studentized range of sample means from k > 1 groups, ν > 0 is the number of degrees of freedom used for determining the pooled sample variance, and φ(z) and Φ(z) represent the normal PDF and CDF. In this document, the meaning of these terms is not important; we simply take (1) and (2) as (messy!) integrals to be evaluated given real numbers q, k, and ν. 1


i i “230211*G*latex” — 2023/2/15 — 15:04 — page 1 — #1 i i i i i i Gravity’s ﬂuctuation derives from its speed— a constant to the absolute space presumed Wen-an Zhang ∗ ∗Retired civil engineer, Beijing, 100072, China Submitted to Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Newton’s equation of gravity implies gravity instantly attracting t- wo gravitating objects regardless of the distance they segregate in space. In other words, gravity working inﬁnitely fast was assumed to formulate the equation. If this is valid, there is no need for users of the equation to query what the dimension “r” therein really means; it is simply the relational distance between two gravitating objects. However, if gravity binds its inﬂuence with its gravitational ﬁeld out- put at ﬁnite speed, there is an additional eﬀect to account for. This additional eﬀect comes from the discrepancy between the relational distance and the true distance for the “r” to choose, because the instantaneous output of a gravitational ﬁeld needs time to approach its target, during which the ﬁeld-source of gravity has been moving farther and farther away from that ﬁeld’s starting point, meaning that the distance between the centers of two gravitating objects is not exactly the path in which the expanding ﬁeld radially chases its target, and the line joining the centers of the same is not precisely the route by which the gravity comes to pull its target. To reﬂect the said eﬀect in Newton’s model of gravity, this paper attempts to combine Einstein’s idea of ﬁnite speed gravity with Newton’s concep- tion of absolute space, from which the asymmetry of gravity (or the ﬂuctuation of gravity)and the meliorated radar wave measurement were mathematically derived. gravity ﬂuctuation | gravitational ﬁeld | gravitational constant N ewton’s equation of gravity soon came into use after the proportionality in his law of gravity was measured by the experiment. This equation is deemed applicable to any two gravitating objects of the universe in any scenario of rela- tionships. They may be in relative motion or motionlessness, in a small duo of one particle circling the other, or in a large group of celestial objects where the orbiting members revolve the central dominant while some of them have their own satel- lites, etc. Such diversiﬁed relationship scenarios demonstrate the more diversiﬁed motion status of those individuals by viewing them not just from the domestic member to member positions, but from the dynamic swarm to the outside references. Now the question is, if a celestial group, like our solar system as a whole, for instance, moves faster or slower than it currently does, or more generally, if an object’s motion in change through space, makes any diﬀerence to its gravitational ﬁeld strength? The answer, to Newton’s equation of gravity, would be “no”, because it implicitly postulates that gravity works inﬁnitely fast, which legitimates the equation to see the diversities as no more complex than the triadic relations between gravita- tional attraction, mass production and mass separation as the equation determines, because, to space, the speed of a gravity source, might be tremendous, but must not be limitless, thus leading the ratio of the latter to the former to zero. However, if gravity cannot strike its target in an instant, like a long and rigid rod transferring an applied force from one end to the other, which must require the continuous con- tact of solid particles full of the path along the force exertion route, but behaves inﬂuential only when its ﬁeld reaches its target through travelling at ﬁnite speed, to which, Albert E- instein, the most famous pioneer of physics in the twentieth century, already enlightened us one hundred years ago, the said eﬀect, though probably tiny, should take into account. To combine Einstein’s idea of ﬁnite speed gravity with New- ton’s concept of absolute space, this work proposes two ame- liorated gravi

Anatomy, um jogo sério para o aprendizado de anatomia: desenvolvimento e validação. YASMIM FERNANDES MONIZ HIGOR BARRETO CAMPOS BRUNO TOSHIO GOMES GUNJI Resumo – Objetivos: Desenvolver, validar e investigar a usabilidade de um jogo sério para o estudo de Anatomia Humana. Métodos: O Anatomy foi projetado para ser um jogo do estilo pergunta- resposta abordando conteúdos do sistema ósseo com feedback imediato quanto a assertividade. Para a validação foram realizados testes de validação funcional e estrutural (Caixa Preta e Caixa Branca) e a sua usabilidade foi testada por meio da escala System Usability Scale (SUS). Resultados: Participaram do estudo 5 profissionais de desenvolvimento de softwares. Os testes de validação verificaram a ausência de inconsistências lógicas ou de erros no sistema. De acordo com a escala SUS, o jogo foi classificado como “Melhor Imaginável”, com score de 91 (100 o máximo). Os componentes de qualidade “facilidade de aprendizagem” e “memorização”, “satisfação do usuario”, “minimização de erros” também tiveram scores classificados como “Melhor Imaginável”. Conclusão: O Anatomy pode ser uma ferramenta útil e motivadora para o estudo de Anatomia, mais estudos são necessários para quantificar seu impacto no desempenho acadêmico dos estudantes. Palavras- chave: Jogo. Anatomia.Usabilidade.Validação. Introdução Uma das matérias fundamentais para o aprendizado de conteúdos relacionados aos cursos da área da saúde é a Anatomia Humana, embora esta seja uma disciplina considerada como pré-requisito para o entendimento de outras, os estudantes enfrentam desafios para alcançar a expertise necessária para a sua compreensão (ARRUDA e SOUSA, 2013) Alguns dos desafios relacionados à aprendizagem da Anatomia são o conteúdo extensivo para intervalos de tempo determinados, a dificuldade em memorização de nomes e estruturas e um protocolo metódico e repetitivo que os estudantes consideram pouco atrativo (SALBEGO et al., 2015) Uma opção para o auxílio e otimização do aprendizado de Anatomia no ensino superior é a gamificação de parte do processo pedagógico. Neste contexto os jogos sérios são uma alternativa viável, já que podem ser criados com fins específicos e desempenham essas finalidades em um ambiente de entretenimento para o usuário (ANYANWU, 2014). Na revisão sistemática conduzida por Van Gaalen et al (2021) foi verificado que os resultados da aprendizagem podem ser otimizados quando aplicados os conceitos de gamificação. Considerando as particularidades na grade de ensino das instituições, tendo em vista que

Also, these results show that there is a time-dependent regulation of IGF-I plasma levels and its signaling pathways in muscle. The insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is a key regulatory hormone that controls growth in vertebrates. Particularly, skeletal muscle growth is strongly stimulated by this hormone. IGFI stimulates both proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts, as well as promoting myotube hypertrophy in vitro and in vivo. The mitogenic and anabolic effects of IGF-I on muscle cells are mediated through specific binding with the IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR). This ligand-receptor interaction promotes the activation of two major intracellular signaling pathways, the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), specifically the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), and the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt. The MAPK (RAF/MEK/ERK) is a key signaling pathway in skeletal muscle, where its activation is absolutely indispensable for muscle cell proliferation. Biologically active polypeptides derived from the E domain that forms the C-terminus of the insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) splice variant known as mechano growth factor which have been demonstrated neuroprotective and cardioprotective properties, as well as the ability to increase the strength of normal and dystrophic skeletal muscle. Ligands selected from phage-displayed random peptide libraries tend to be directed to biologically relevant sites on the surface of the target protein. Protein-peptide interactions form the basis of many cellular processes. Consequently, peptides derived from library screenings often modulate the target protein's activity in vitro and in vivo and can be used as lead compounds in drug design and as alternatives to antibodies for target validation in both genomics and drug discovery. In this research and science project we for the first time a predicted chemo-polypharmacophoric agent comprising (Propeptide-Fc)/MGF peptide mimicking properties for the possible increasement of the Muscle Mass Fiber Size towards Wnt7a/Fzd7 Signalling to the Akt/mTOR Anabolic Growth IGF-I/PI3K/Akt - I/MAPK/ERK pathways utilising (Propeptide-Fc)/MGF phage-displayed random peptide libraries through a KNIME-RDkit-CDK clustering pipeline.

Poster: Effectiveness of Moving Target Defense Techniques to Disrupt Attacks in the Cloud Salman Manzoor Lancaster University United Kingdom s.manzoor1@lancaster.ac.uk Antonios Gouglidis Lancaster University United Kingdom a.gouglidis@lancaster.ac.uk Matthew Bradbury Lancaster University United Kingdom m.s.bradbury@lancaster.ac.uk Neeraj Suri Lancaster University United Kingdom neeraj.suri@lancaster.ac.uk ABSTRACT Moving Target Defense (MTD) can eliminate the asymmetric advan- tage that attackers have in terms of time to explore a static system by changing a system’s configuration dynamically to reduce the efficacy of reconnaissance and increase uncertainty and complexity for attackers. To this extent, a variety of MTDs have been proposed for specific aspects of a system. However, deploying MTDs at differ- ent layers/components of the Cloud and assessing their effects on the overall security gains for the entire system is still challenging since the Cloud is a complex system entailing physical and virtual resources, and there exists a multitude of attack surfaces that an attacker can target. Thus, we explore the combination of MTDs, and their deployment at different components (belonging to various operational layers) to maximize the security gains offered by the MTDs. We also propose a quantification mechanism to evaluate the effectiveness of the MTDs against the attacks in the Cloud.

In Proceedings of the 2022 ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS ’22), November 7–11, 2022, Los Angeles, CA, USA. ACM, New York, NY, USA, 3 pages. https://doi.org/10. 1145/3548606.3563514 1 INTRODUCTION Current IT systems operate in a relatively static configuration which gives attackers the advantage of time, as attackers can plan, per- form reconnaissance, and execute attacks without time constraints. Conventional security measures rely on patching individual vul- nerabilities, which can be cumbersome, time-consuming, and risk introducing configuration errors in the system. Moreover, it is dif- ficult (and likely impossible) for system defenders to eliminate all vulnerabilities in a system; this provides the attackers a window of opportunity to compromise the system. Consequently, Moving Target Defense (MTD) [8] techniques are advocated as a proactive approach to improve a system’s security.

For example, a dynamic run-time environment could change the execution environment presented to the application [2], while MTD techniques focusing on the network layer dynamically modifies the network characteristics (e.g., IP/MAC addresses) [4] to change the attack surfaces presented to the adversary. The previously mentioned MTDs are typically applied to indi- vidual aspects of a system (IP addresses, OS replicas, etc.). Their effectiveness is measured through their capability to mitigate at- tacks targeting these components. However, the application of the MTDs considering a holistic view of the Cloud is limited [1] due t

Drug-Target Relationship Analysis Drug targets refer to biological macromolecules that have pharmacodynamic functions in the body and can be acted upon by drugs, such as certain proteins and nucleic acids. They have targeted structures and target molecules related to specific diseases. The analysis of drug targets can reflect which structures of drugs can interact with the target molecules and produce curative effects, so as to achieve the purpose of curing diseases. Figure 1 Drug target structure CADD for Drug-target Relationship Analysis Drug research and development is the driving force of the pharmaceutical industry, and it has also caused a research boom in the academic community. Computer-aided drug design is a supplement to traditional experimental drug discovery. It accelerates the development of new drugs, shortens drug development time, and reduces the cost of drug R & D projects. Physics-based calculation methods used in CADD improve the success rate of drug development. In the process of drug research, it is very important to understand the drug-target relationship. Drug-target interaction prediction is an important auxiliary method for drug development. Network pharmacology and drug repositioning subvert the traditional drug development concepts, improve the theoretical basis of drug-target


POSTER: How Attackers Determine the Ransom in Ransomware Attacks Tom Meurs University of Twente Enschede, Netherlands t.w.a.meurs@utwente.nl Marianne Junger University of Twente Enschede, Netherlands m.junger@utwente.nl Abhishta Abhishta University of Twente Enschede, Netherlands s.abhishta@utwente.nl Erik Tews University of Twente Enschede, Netherlands e.tews@utwente.nl Abstract—Ransomware may lead to massive economic dam- age to victims [13]. However, it is still unclear how at- tackers determine the amount of ransom. In this poster we empirically study the ransom requested by attackers in ransomware attacks. We analysed 371 ransomware attacks reported to the Dutch Police between 2019 and 2021. Our results indicate that attacker’s effort and opportunity are important predictors for the ransom requested. The goal of the poster is to invite other researchers for collaboration. Index Terms—Ransomware, cyber attacks, criminal revenue, police reports 1. Introduction Ransomware attacks have become more prevalent over the past years [1]. Even though most ransomware attackers are financially motivated [9], the actual financial gains made by attackers are still unclear. This poster abstract aims at introducing a dataset that could be used to empir- ically study the ransom requested by attackers. The Rational Choice Perspective (RCP) [2], [3] states that criminal decision-making is based on weighing the costs and benefits of an attack. Costs could be effort or risk of being caught by Law Enforcement. Benefits is mostly money, but could also be reputation. Based on RCP, we hypothesise that ransom requested depends on how much effort attackers put in a ransomware attack. Furthermore, there might be an increase of requested ransom over the years because improved anti-virus scanners might make it more difficult to perform ransomware attacks and there- fore require more effort. A complementary approach is the Routine Activity Theory (RAT) [10]. RAT focuses on the opportunities for attackers provided by context. From RAT it follows that victims with more money provide the opportunity for attackers to earn more money and therefore will demand higher ransom [6]. Furthermore, opportunity might vary between seasons [12], so requested ransom could also vary between seasons. Summarizing, attacker’s effort and opportunity could influence ransom requested (Figure 1) .We propose the following hypotheses: • H1: If attackers put in more effort they will ask a larger ransom • H2: There is an increasing trend of requested ransom over the years • H3: High revenue of victims should lead to larger requested ransom • H4: The requested ransom varies over the different seasons Figure 1: Theoretical framework 2. Methods 2.1. Sample We investigated 371 ransomware attacks registered by the Dutch Police between 2019 and 2021. Ransomware attacks on individuals as companies were included in the sample. Ransomware attacks with victims outside the Netherlands, but reported to the Dutch Police, were excluded from this study. 2.2. Measures To measure requested ransom information about the ransom at first contact with victims was collected. From the 371 observations, 172 attacks (46 %) reported ransom demanded by attackers. If ransom demanded was un- known, this was mostly (52 %) because attackers wanted victims to contact them to inform them about the ransom and the victim did not want to do so. In our analysis we perform analysis to see if there is selection bias of the unknown requested ransomware.


DOI: 10.15457/biolexsoe_2017_11_6 Biobrary. The Library as Producer of Biographical Information? – The IOS-Example - Poster - Hans Bauer Library and Electronic Research Infrastructure Leibniz-Institute for East and Southeast European Studies (IOS), Regensburg, Germany mailto:hbauer@ios-regensburg.de Abstract—Biographical and bibliographic data have much in common. However, biographical information within library infrastructures focuses on primary data such as name, date of birth / date of death, etc. Thus, libraries initially provide personal data in a structured form (what differs from biodata). As digitisation and the increase of electronic services are progressing, libraries are gaining access to biographical resources beyond the only metadata. The poster refers to two Open Access resources, managed by the library of the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies Regensburg (IOS), and discusses strategies to open them up to further enhancement: the Erik Amburger Database and the BioLexSOE online. Keywords—biographical dictionary; biographical database; library; authority files; Open Access I. LIBRARIES, INDEXING, AND THE PERSON Musil’s famous librarian from the Austrian State Library characterises his strategy of knowledge organization as follows: “[…] if you want to know how I know about every book here, I can tell you: Because I never read any of them. […] With the exception of the catalogue.”[1] Albeit this is of course a shortened and pointed statement, librarians like to mention this quote from the Man without Qualities. The reason may be that Musil touches an often unseen fact, pivotal for librarian consciousness: even more than books, even more than content libraries organize and manage data referring to them. Indexing, the art of describing entities with distinct terms – metadata – is one of the crucial librarian’s tasks. Thus, libraries have developed powerful tools to identify entities in all subjects as unambiguously as possible. Authority files like the Gemeinsame Normdatei (GND)[2] combine different designation variants for named entities. The data sets contain not only preferred names for an informational object but definitions, references, relations, based on the GND- Ontology.[3] Actually, the GND manages more than 10 million records about persons and person names. However, the way libraries deal with persons differs from the biographer’s approach. Biographical information within library infrastructures initially focuses on primary data such as name, name variants, date of birth / date of death, etc. Libraries are primarily interested in identifying individual entities, and not in creating narratives. Therefore thesauri, authority files, and other classification systems are maintained. Librarian descriptions of persons are able to provide personal data, but not biographical data.[4] Personal data, according to Bourdieu and following Kripke’s Naming and Necessity, are used as rigid designators, forcing identity for extern (social or institutional) purpose.[5] The availability of this kind of data is required to manage big amounts of information like in libraries or in mass prosopographies like registration databases. They serve to mark up individuals and to reduce problems of redundancy and homonymy, “[…] but these basic facts do not provide a strong foundation for a more complex and interconnected depiction of lives online.”[6] In summary library tools are highly appropriate for showing correlations and connections between entities / information objects, and for structuring resources referring to variant names.[7] But in contrast to biographies person data collected by libraries provide rather indications of lives than an insight into their course. Authority files like the GND are first of all indexing tools, they are not an encyclopaedia.1 Hence, Musil’s librarian’s strategy not to get into the subject matter seems to reflect a professional conviction: in knowledge organisation it’s all about
