In the past decade, Machine Learning has moved to the fore- front of research in this ﬁeld, with many approaches resulting in great performance on benchmark NIDS datasets. The rel- evance of these performance results is however directly tied to the quality of the benchmark datasets used for training, which have so far not been subjected to thorough analysis. As part of our work, we have performed a large-scale manual investigation of the most commonly used publicly available NIDS datasets, where we have uncovered numerous errors due to problems in data pre-processing, attack simulation and labelling. We also highlight the lack of variability in both benign and malicious trafﬁc, which often renders the classiﬁcation task trivial. To quantify this variability, we have devised an automated methodology that can be applied without requiring expert domain knowledge. Nevertheless, we believe it is vital for any NIDS benchmark datasets to undergo a thorough manual analysis before being widely adopted. As a follow-up of our previous work where we provided an improved version of the CICIDS 2017 dataset, we are also actively working on improving the CSE-CIC- IDS 2018 dataset, which we intend to release to the research community. Index Terms—network intrusion detection, machine learning, benchmark dataset, data collection. 1. Introduction Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) are de- vices that are placed at strategic locations within a network infrastructure in order to protect it from internal and external threats. These threats range from attempts to gain unauthorised access to the network, to large-scale DDoS attacks that aim to disrupt the services of the network’s hosts. With attackers becoming more sophisticated, new threats are emerging on a daily basis, and traditional rule- based Intrusion Detection Systems are at risk of being overwhelmed by the sheer number of zero-day attacks. This is why, over the past decade, NIDS research has gravitated towards Machine Learning (ML), which does not rely as much on manual updates in order to detect new attacks. Research in this ﬁeld has shown a lot of promise. High performance results on benchmark NIDS datasets [1]–[3] seem to indicate that using ML for NIDS is a solved prob- lem. However, the obtained results are heavily dependent on the quality of the used datasets. While some research has highlighted the disparity between trafﬁc found in these datasets and that of a real-world environment [4], the network trafﬁc found in these datasets has generally not been subjected to a thorough manual investigation. In earlier work, we have shown that the CICIDS 2017 dataset [5] suffered from a multitude of issues which made its use as a benchmark dataset questionable [6]; as part of that work we released an improved version of this dataset. Following up on that, we have performed a large- scale manual analysis of ﬁve modern and widely-used NIDS datasets, where we uncovered a wide range of issues pertaining to labelling, attack simulation, documentation, and network trafﬁc realism. As part of this work, we are working on improving the CSE-CIC-IDS 2018 dataset, speciﬁcally making sure that the ground truth of all labels is as accurate as possible. Usi


Norbert S. Schulz & the MIT/CAT Team Context: High Resolu,on X-‐ray Absorp,on Spectroscopy The recycling of ma?er is an ongoing process in the evoluCon of the universe. Central to the process are interstellar and intergalacCc media which evolved from period of pre-‐mor-‐ dial star and black hole formaCon in galaxies observed at high redshiHs (see top leH Figure for an overview). The study of chemically evolving ma?er in X-‐rays involves elements [ C, O Ne, Mg, Si, S, Ar, Ca, Fe, and Ni] and abundant molecules [CO2, CO, O2, H2O, CsH6O, CH2 O2 and silicates]. We measure neutral and ionized abundances, ionizaCon fracCons, kinema-‐ Ccs such as turbulence, thermal and magneCc moCons, temperatures, solid state proper-‐ Ccs, determine star formaCon rates and search for missing baryons (WHIM). Using the method of backlighCng we can use over 105 X-‐rays sources as for example provided by the RASS (top middle Figure) to map out diﬀuse ma?er in our own Milky Way (top right Figure) and in galaxies of the Local group. High resoluCon spectra primarily from the Chandra HETG but also from the XMM-‐ Newton RGS instruments have provided us with iniCal small surveys using the brightest available X-‐ray sources in the Galaxy to study all phase of the ISM (see three examples below). However these studies also revealed severe limitaCons in terms source ﬂux, spectral contrast and spectral resoluCon in the X-‐ray band.

1 Designing out stigma - The role of objects in the construction of disabled people´s identity Renato Bispo – PhD Student, University of Aveiro, ID+ Research Institute for Design Media and Culture, Aveiro, renato.bispo@gmail.com Vasco Branco – Research Unit Coordinator, University of Aveiro, ID+ Research Institute for Design Media and Culture, Aveiro, vasco.branco@ua.pt Abstract It is an unmistakable fact that objects hold an important role in the construction of identity, acting as markers of a certain lifestyle. In this process of symbolic construction, to own a certain object entails more often than not a high social status. However, some objects can also carry with them stigma: owning them brings about a discrediting effect in the construction of the owner`s identity. For people with disabilities the use of objects employed for mitigate their impairment (as a wheelchair or a walking aid) often act as a symbol of stigma and empathize the prejudices to the people who use them.

Services Home  / Services / Data Analysis / Fusion Analysis Fusion Analysis Introduction of Fusion Analysis Gene fusion refers to the fusion of some or all of the sequences of two different genes due to some mechanism (such as genome mutation) to form a new gene. Gene fusion includes fusion at the genome level and fusion at the transcriptome level. At the DNA level, a new gene composed of two or more genes is called a fusion gene. At the RNA level, a transcript composed of multiple transcripts is called a fusion transcript. In a broad sense, these two are called fusion genes. There are three main mechanisms for gene fusion: chromosomal translocation, interstitial deletion and chromosomal inversion. As a product of chromosome structural variation, fusion genes have been proved to be related to the occurrence of certain cancers, and they are the key targets for research on certain cancers. Fusion genes are caused by chromosomal mutations, and fusion genes are often oncogenes. When genes that regulate Privacy - Terms  HOME  SERVICES  SOLUTIONS  PLATFORM CAREERS CONTACT US 


Computational Perspectives on Ancient Near Eastern Literature, Art and Material Culture February 19th-21st, 2023 Universal dependencies for Hittite Maria Molina, Tel Aviv University mariya.molina@gmail.com In the recent years universal dependencies (UD) became the standard for digital treebanks, they are an essential part of annotated linguistic corpora, and they are widely used for comparison of language features in linguistic research. Historical corpora develop treebanks slower than corpora of modern languages. However, there have already been published some very good examples of historical treebanks [1], including those with UD annotation, e.g., for Ancient Greek and Latin [2], Old East Slavic, Old and Middle Russian [3], Old French [4]. An attempt to build a UD treebank for Hittite was undertaken already in 2017 by G.Inglese and M.Molina [5] in the framework of the PROIEL [6]. Finally, a small UD-annotated treebank based on examples from [7] was developed and published in 2022 by E.Andersen and B.Rozonoyer [8, 9]. The authors of the [8, 9] treebank based their annotation on Inglese [11], taking into account experience and data of our PROIEL experiment [5]. The concern here is that they did not account for some certain Hittite features, such as second position clitic particles ‑(m)a, ‑(y)a, and ‑pat (using instead the discourse feature after [11]), while in recent years following the publication of [11] there have been extensive research on 2P particles in Hittite, particularly including ‑pat [12, 13, 14]. The treebank [7] does not include lemmas with both a Hittite word and a Sumerian/Akkadian heterogram in cases of variations in writing of the word (that was suggested in [8], but never realized in practice before this work). However, the biggest problem of the existing Hittite UD treebank is that it is completely taken out of context being just a set of sentences out of a tutorial [7]. The Annotated Corpus of Hittite Clauses [ACHC, 10] was first launched in 2015 on the basis of the Hittite letters and instructions (not digitalized before). It was syntactically annotated for the word order (SOV/OSV). It was also annotated as a constituency treebank, with morphological mark-up and the UD prep annotation accomplished on ca. 1500 clauses. Now the time came to develop the UD annotation in the whole corpus of letters and instructions, finally putting the Hittite grammar in context. This paper describes the UD annotation for ACHC. It is an ongoing project, starting from previously achieved number of UD-annotated clauses. In comparison to [7], we add a layer of mark-up including separate fields for both Hittite and heterogram lemmas, and indexation for clitic chains. All the tokens are provided by glosses and translation into English. The clauses represent Hittite of letters and instructions – the closest possible genre to oral speech (for a dead cuneiform language). UD distinguishes 17 universal part-of-speech definitions (UPOS) [18:261] – the categories widely attested in the world’s languages, and Hittite is not an exclusion, – such as noun, verb, adjective, or adverb. There are also standard morphological features, like pronoun, numeral, possessive, or gender types (cf. in [18:263]). Additional features in UD may be defined in language-specific documentation for use in individual languages. The latter is highly relevant for Hittite, as there must be language-specific tags not only for clitic chains and heterograms, but also for ergativity features and subject expressed with -za. There are also grammatical relations, including syntactic and semantic roles, that connect a head of phrase and a dependent word. In UD standard 37 types are defined for the universal use. In my paper I discuss the Hittite specific set of grammatical relations. In general, it is strongly recommended to keep universal tags as much as possible, to support the comparability of the languages, but Hittite certainly demands particular solutions discussed i


Dynamic changes in the spatial-temporal patterns of urban green space topics on Twitter during the COVID-19 pandemic Nan Cui*1, Vikki Houlden1, Nick Malleson1 and Alexis Comber1 1School of Geography, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, UK GISRUK 2023 Summary This study aims to detect spatial-temporal changes in urban green space (UGS) topics pre-, during, and after the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Twitter data was selected as data source. Structural topic modelling (STM) was used to identify UGS topics and detect the trends of all topics over time. The inverse distance weighted (IDW) interpolation method was used to show the spatial distributions of all topics over all periods. The research found that the topic Nature observation was the most popular among all topics and showed an increasing trend in topic proportions and dynamic changes in spatial- temporal patterns. KEYWORDS: Urban green space, Topic detection, Spatial-temporal analysis, COVID-19 1. Introduction Urban green space (UGS) plays an essential role in supporting people’s daily (Houlden, de Albuquerque, Weich, & Jarvis, 2019). For example, UGS provides people with outdoor activity areas such as running tracks, tennis courts, and rowing places; and entertainment activity areas such as flower gardens, grasslands, and picnic areas. During the COVID-19 pandemic period, in order to mitigate the virus spread, a series of public health measures were implemented such as travel restrictions, quarantine, closing non-essential business services, and requiring citizens to stay at home (Cameron-Blake et al., 2020). UGS therefore became a major outdoor destination during the COVID-19 pandemic period. In this context, questions about what types of topics people discussed and how these topics changed over space and time became increasingly popular research issues (Geng, Innes, Wu, & Wang, 2021). Popular social media platforms such as Twitter provide new data sources on important events, providing rich knowledge about urban systems and human dynamics (Ilieva & McPhearson, 2018). In this study, Twitter was selected as a data resource due to its popularity (Cui, Malleson, Houlden, & Comber, 2021), and all Tweets used included geo-reference positions within UGS in Greater London. This study aims to develop a method to detect the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on topics in urban green space (UGS). This method can effectively track important information during accident events like the pandemic and help with the planning and management of UGS. The method includes three steps: data collection and data pre-processing, dynamic topics generation, and investigation of spatial- temporal patterns of topics. In detail, the first step was geo-referenced Twitter data collection, Tweets cleaning and data pre-processing. The second step refers to using STM to identify UGS topics and detect the trends in topic proportion and topic label words. The third step focuses on monitoring the changes in UGS topics in semantic, spatial, and temporal dimensions pre-, during- and after the COVID- 19 pandemic. 2. Data collection and analysis 2.1 Data collection The Twitter datasets used for this study were downloaded via the Twitter academic research API. The API call selected geo-referenced Tweets located in London. They covered a three-month period (23rd March to 23rd Jun) for three consecutive years: 2019, 2020, and 2021. The downloaded Twitter data needed to be thoroughly cleaned. First, only English Tweets were selected, Tweets with fewer than three words were removed, and stop-words in each of the Tweets were also removed. Second, the


Page | 1 Assessing vulnerabilities in Beirut Post-Explosion: combing survey and satellite data Elisabetta Pietrostefani1 1Department of Geography and Planning, University of Liverpool GISRUK 2023 Summary On the 4th of August 2020, a large amount of ammonium nitrate stored at the port of the city of Beirut exploded causing at least 200 deaths and over 7,000 injuries. This research builds on spatial survey data together with satellite imagery measuring the degree of damage of buildings to investigate the changing landscape of local vulnerabilities before and after the explosion. This original data is based on surveys conducted in 2018 and 2021 for representative samples of two Beirut neighbourhoods. The research evaluates alterations in vulnerability indicators (livelihoods, housing, and mental-wellbeing measures) and focuses on the added-values of combining satellite imagery with perception-based surveys to further the understanding of urban inequalities. KEYWORDS: vulnerability; satellite data, post-disaster, survey, urban inequalities 1. Short introduction On the 4th of August 2020, a large amount of ammonium nitrate stored at the port of the city of Beirut exploded, causing at least 200 deaths, over 7,000 injuries, US$3.8-4.6 billion in material damages, and the displacement of over 300,000 people. Lebanon was already suffering from a rapidly escalating financial crisis, further aggravated by the outbreak of COVID-19. This paper spatially explores survey data collected in 2018 and 2021 in Beirut, together with satellite imagery measuring the degree of damage of buildings. These datasets are exploited to investigate the changing landscape of local vulnerabilities from pre-crisis to post-explosion. The term ‘pre-crisis’ marks the period before the Lebanese liquidity crisis which started in August 2019. The term ‘post-explosion’ marks the period after the 4th of August 2020 port explosion. This original data is based on four survey datasets conducted between 2018 and 2021 for representative samples of the comprehensive population count of areas of Ras Beirut and Mar Mikhael, two neighbourhood of Beirut, proportionally stratified by nationality (Lebanese and non-Lebanese). Lebanon is no stranger to post-disaster reconstruction. The Beirut city centre reconstruction after the Lebanese Civil War is a closely tied example of the renovation of a historic core, though it displaced its local populations and dismantled entire neighbourhoods to make way for luxury developments (Davie, 2004; Verdeil, 2002). This not-so-distant episode created an underlining threat to the welfare and security of vulnerable residents in neighbourhoods adjacent to the Beirut port area, many of which were displaced following the blast and had not returned one year after the explosion. Keeping this in mind, as well as the conspicuous alterations that many Beirut neighbourhoods have undergone over the past few decades (Gebara et al., 2016), this paper builds on Pietrostefani et al.’s (2022) analysis of livelihoods, housing and mental-wellbeing and focuses on the added-values of combining satellite imagery with perception-based surveys to further understanding of urban inequalities. 2. Data The assessment of the buildings damage in Beirut after the blast relies on three research projects conducted in the area: ARIA/NASA, the Reform and Recovery and Reconstruction Framework (3RF) and the FER dataset.

Accelerated Education, Research Poster Negative impacts Based on a case study applied to teachers and students from various educational institutions, it was identiﬁed that intuitive cognition is the basis for the educational practices adopted in the Valley of Mexico region. Material Two types of instruments were applied from the ISTE and CASEL standards on the Google forms and Jotfoms platforms. Hypothesis In everyday experiences, the recognition of a segment of reality is correlated with what you want to know, you only need a good reason to intuitively choose a prediction. Objectives ● Establish segments of educational populations that identify intuitive cognition in their self-study. ● Identify educational populations that do not appropriate learning from intuitive cognition. Research Conclusion Methodology Analysis Academics who make their learning practice aware from intuitive cognition were segmented The testimonies of teachers at various educational levels are collected. Results The management of soft skills depends on the contexts of the teachers surveyed, in general they lack training that involves the management of an intuitive cognition located in the technological tools It is concluded that the skills called weak are associated with intuitive cognition to a greater extent than learning of rational and experimental origin, which are still diﬃcult to access in the region. Discussion Latin American education, in an attempt to adapt to the economic demands of the globalized social system, proposes to accept the international standards of socio-emotional competencies in the regulated educational practice, which, due to the lack of a clear methodology and according to the national educational context, turns out to be messy, the CASEL standards adhere to education plans as one more requirement to be fulﬁlled within it, without prioritizing the development of said skills from an early age. This is implicitly reﬂected in the evaluation carried out, due to the subjectivity with which the instrument was answered. The Leiden scale does not allow an objective measurement but relativizes the calculation of the results; Therefore, it is suggested to use a Likert scale in future research.

Final conference, Rome October 11, 2016 Water geochemistry of cryoconites in Eqip Sermia Glacier, Greenland: preliminary data Authorship: Laura Sanna1, Alessio Romeo2. 1Institute for Biometeorology, National Research Council of Italy, Sassari, Italy. E-mail: speleokikers@tiscali.it; 2La Venta Associazione Esplorazioni Geografiche, Treviso, Italy. Abstract Current climate warming is accelerating mass loss from most of the arctic glaciers. The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) has also experienced dramatic ice melt in recent years (Koenig et al., 2016) with an increase in crevices that serve as conduits (called moulins) that transport meltwater rapidly into the glacier (Figure 1, down). Water, flowing through these moulins down to the bottom of the ice sheet and towards the sea, can modify the primary geochemical signature of precipitation. Moreover, a certain part of the glacial surface is dispersed by cryoconite holes, near-vertical tubes formed as consequence of melting induced by solar heating of dark debris (Cook et al., 2016) (Figure 1, up). Cryoconite hole may contribute to the glacial runoff on ablating ice surface (Fountain et al., 2008). Although a big effort has been done from the scientific community in order to interpret the sedimentary records of past extreme events in arctic areas, rather little is known about the geochemistry of glacial meltwater input into the oceans. For this reason, it is of interest to measure the concentration of elements accumulate in the unmelted ice body and on the meltwater within cryoconite holes flowing into the moulins. In this study the preliminary data about the major element compositions and the heavy metals level of ice and meltwater collected on Eqip Sermia Glacier (Greenland) are examined. Eqip Sermia Glacier is located close to Disko Bugt, in the central-western coast of Greenland, and represents the link between GrIS and its largest ice- free expanse proglacial area (Figure 2). During GRAAL II expedition (Greenland Research Animal and Algae) organized by Spélé'Ice Association in summer 2010 (Romeo et al, 2014), samples for geochemical analysis were collected in a region situated at 967 m asl, tens of kilometres from the glacial margin of the southern lobe (69°36 N - 49°47 W). Sampling took place within cryoconite holes (C4G) and inside the Fossil Moulin (C3G) at 15 m below the glacier surface (Figure 2).

Poster: Improved Federated Learning with Non-IID Data Using Foundation Models Fatima Abacha∗, Sin G. Teo†, Lucas C. Cordeiro∗and Mustafa A. Mustafa∗‡ ∗Department of Computer Science, The University of Manchester, Manchester, M13 9PL, UK †Institute for Infocomm Research, A*STAR Singapore ‡COSIC, KU Leuven, Leuven, 3001, Belgium Email: fatima.abacha@postgrad.manchester.ac.uk Abstract—Federated Learning (FL) enables multiple parties to train a model without sharing data. However, in heteroge- neous scenarios where the data distribution amongst the FL participants is non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID), FL suffers from the data heterogeneity challenge which severely degrades the ability of the global model to converge. To solve this problem, we propose a novel data augmentation strategy, named DPSDA-FL, which can aid in homogenizing the local data present on the client’s side. DPSDA-FL improves the training of the global model by leveraging differentially private synthetic data from founda- tion models. We obtain promising preliminary results on the CIFAR-10 dataset regarding recall of the global model. 1. Introduction Federated Learning (FL) enables multiple parties to come together and train an ML model without sharing their data [1]. The training process is orchestrated by a third party, which is usually a central server. In FL, each client uses private data to train its own local model, while the server uses an aggregation algorithm to construct a global model. The entire process runs for several iterations until a global model with the desired performance is achieved.This global model is then broadcast to all clients so they can use it for inference on their test dataset. FL protects against data leakage as each client’s private training data is not disclosed to any other party. FL also enables adherence to regulations such as the GDPR [2]. However, when the data distribution amongst the clients in FL is statistically heterogeneous, meaning the data distribution is non-independent and identically dis- tributed (non-IID), the prediction accuracy of the models is affected. A client may hold data from some classes and not from other classes present in the global dataset, as such the ability of the global model to make accurate inferences is severely degraded [3]. Also, when clients train their local model on data that does not contain certain classes from the global set or only a few samples from specific classes, the models will likely be biased towards those underrepresented groups [3]. This could have devastating consequences when these models are deployed in safety- critical situations such as healthcare and finance. Statistical heterogeneity can be tackled by making the dataset across FL clients uniform in their distribution. This can be achieved by using data augmentation, a technique that can generate more training data to harmonize the data distribution amongst the clients in FL. Data augmentation is effective as it can reduce the problem of non-IID data in FL [3]. Existing works [4], [5] in the literature have used Generative Adversarial networks (GANs) to generate synthetic data for data augmentation. GANs, however, are vulnerable and tricky to train to produce high-quality and diverse synthetic data for data augmentation [6]. In this regard, we propose using foundation models for a more effective data augmentation process. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that employs pre-trained foundation models to generate differentially private synthetic data to tackle the problem of non-IID Data in FL. Thus, our contributions are as follows: • We propose a new data augmentation strategy, named Differentially Private Synthetic Data Aided Federated Learning using Foundation Models (DPSDA-FL), to enhance the FL performance with non-IID Data. • We demonstrate the effectiveness of utilizing Dif- ferentially Private Synthetic Data from Foundation Models in Cross Silo Horizontal FL. • We conduct exp

A framework for comparing worlds with and without climate change This framework can be used to compare an extreme event with and without climate change (Step 1), and then to determine if and how nature-based solutions can reduce or offset the impacts of climate change on the extreme event (Step 2 vs. Step 3). Step 2: In the world with climate change, simulate if and how the impacts of climate change on extreme events are made worse by the receiving environment (e.g., by local land and environmental conditions). World with climate change and without nature-based solutions Step 3: In the world with climate change, simulate if and how the impacts of climate change on extreme events are reduced when nature-based solutions are used. World with climate change and with nature-based solutions Step 1: Simulate an extreme event in a world with climate change and a world without climate change to quantify whether climate change made the extreme event more likely, more severe, or more long-lasting. From these simulations we can tell if: * the amount of water that can potentially be lost from the earth’s surface due to temperature, wind speed, humidity and cloud cover Read more: Holden, P.B., Rebelo, A.J., Wolski, P. et al.

Artifact for Article #5907 Assessing The Effectiveness of Test Suites AlBalwi et al. Abstract—In this document we introduce the data that we 1 generated for our experiment, and explain how readers can 2 duplicate our experiment using the data. 3 Index Terms—Test suites, test suite effectiveness, syntactic cov- 4 erage, semantic coverage, detector sets, absolute correctness, 5 relative correctness, partial correctness, total correctness. 6 I. DATA ORGANIZATION 7 Semantic Coverage is the measure we introduce in our paper 8 to reﬂect the effectiveness of a test suite to reveal the failures of 9 a program with respect to a speciﬁcation. The purpose of our 10 empirical study is to illustrate how we compute the semantic 11 coverage of test suites for a benchmark program; to relate 12 semantic coverage to existing measures of test suite effective- 13 ness, we also show how these test suites are ranked according 14 to their ability to kill mutants of the sample program. To this 15 effect, we generate two sets of mutants of the base program, 16 and for each set, we rank the test suites by set inclusion of 17 the sets of mutants that they kill. 18 The data is organized into eight directories: 19 • Source. The benchmark program we are using is a 20 simulator of the VT100 terminal (called jTerminal, jT 21 for short), written in Java and often used in testing 22 experiments. This program comes with a test class that 23 includes 35 tests; we have added two tests to this class, for 24 a total of 37 tests, for the deliberate purpose of tripping 25 jTerminal, i.e. causing it to diverge. The reason for this is 26 that we want to distinguish between total correctness and 27 partial correctness, and obtain different values of semantic 28 coverage depending on the standard of correctness that 29 we consider. 30 This directory includes two ﬁles, the source code of 31 jTerminal, and the source code of the test class. 32 • TS: The 20 Test Suites. From this expanded test suite of 33 37 tests (whose elements we number from 1 to 37), we 34 generate twenty (20) subsets as follows: 35 – T 1...T 5: Five subsets obtained by removing ﬁve ran- 36 dom elements (and ensuring that they are distinct). 37 – T 6...T 10: Five subsets obtained by removing ten ran- 38 dom elements (and ensuring that they are distinct). 39 – T 11...T 15: Five subsets obtained by removing ﬁfteen 40 random elements (and ensuring that they are distinct). 41 – T 16...T 20: Five subsets obtained by removing one 42 random element (and ensuring that they are distinct). 43 Directory TS contains the 20 test suites T 1... T 20. 44 • TOT25. The semantic coverage of a test suite T to test 45 a program P depends not only on T and P, but also 46 on the standard of correctness (partial, total) and on the 1 speciﬁcation with respect to which correctness is tested. 2 For the purpose of this experiment, we have used two 3 mutants of jTerminal, namely M25 and M50, as the 4 speciﬁcations with respect to which correctness is tested. 5 This directory contains the semantic coverage of test 6 suites T 1 ... T 20 for total correctness with respect to 7 M25; these ﬁles are named TOT25T1 ... TOT25T20. 8 This directory also contains the graph that ranks the 9 test suites T 1 ... T 20 by their semantic coverage; this 10 graph is represented in two formats, namely the list 11 of arcs (ArcsTOT25) and the graphical representation 12 (GraphTOT25) (also shown in Figure 5). 13 • PAR25. This directory contains the semantic coverage 14 of the twenty test suites T 1 ... T 20 of jTerminal for 15 partial correctness with respect to M25; these ﬁles are 16 named PAR25T1 ... PAR25T20. This directory also 17 contains the graph that ranks the test suites T 1 ... T 20 by 18 their semantic coverage; this graph is represented in two 19 formats, namely the list of arcs (ArcsPAR25) and the 20 graphical representation (GraphPAR25) (also shown in 21 Figure 4). 22 • TOT50. This directory contains the semantic coverage 23 of the twenty te

These stones develop as a result of supersaturation of cholesterol, insufficient bile salt levels or function, and decreased biliary epithelium contractility caused by different factors such as diet, hormones, and genetic predisposition. Cholangitis and pancreatitis are two major side effects of choledocholithiasis. [1] Cholangitis can be defined as the inflammation and infection of the bile duct, first described in 1877 by Jean-Marie Charcot. It constitutes a potentially fatal clinical entity. The typical clinical presentation includes jaundice, abdominal pain, and fever, known as Charcot's triad, which can be associated with hypotension and altered mental status, referred to as Reynolds' pentad. Various microorganisms may be implicated, with the most common being Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Streptococcus faecalis, Enterobacter, Bacteroides fragilis, and Pseudomonas. [2-5] Acute cholangitis can be classified based on its severity into mild, moderate, and severe. Determining the severity of the disease is essential to administering the appropriate treatment. [6] Antimicrobial therapy and biliary drainage are the cornerstones of treatment for cholangitis. The following antibiotics are recommended based on the severity of cholangitis and whether it is community- acquired or associated with healthcare. [7] Hepatic abscesses can be defined as localized collections of pus surrounded by inflammatory tissue in the hepatic parenchyma. Literature suggests that liver abscesses are associated with patients who have a history of biliary-enteric anastomosis surgeries or the placement of biliary stents, the latter often associated with papillotomy which increases the risk of bacteriobilia. [10,11] The most common microorganisms involved in hepatic abscesses are Escherichia coli, Streptococcus spp., Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus spp., Bacteroides, and Fusobacteria, with up to 16% being polymicrobial. [12,13] Case report A 52-year-old female patient presented with a one-week history of right upper quadrant abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and jaundice. An abdominal ultrasound revealed multiple gallstones, a thickened gallbladder wall (7 mm), and a dilated common bile duct (10 mm), leading to a diagnosis of choledocholithiasis and chronic lithiasic cholecystitis (Tokyo II). The patient was admitted for laparoscopic cholecystectomy (rendez-vous procedure), and a Penrose drain was placed. Five days post-surgery, bile continued to drain T Background: This case report presents a 52-year-old female patient diagnosed with septic shock secondary to cholangitis, hepatic abscess, and peritonitis, with a history of laparoscopic rendezvous cholecystectomy secondary to choledocholithiasis.

Fuel Cells, Electrolysers & H2 Processing 4 – 7 July 2023, Lucerne Switzerland A1713 / Page 1-8 A1713 Relation of Local Cell Voltage and Current Density Distribution during Fuel Starvation in PEMFC Stacks Jens Nissen (1,2), Jan Schwämmlein (1), Markus Hölzle (2) (1) cellcentric GmbH & Co. KG, Kirchheim unter Teck/Germany; (2) Zentrum für Sonnenenergie- und Wasserstoff-Forschung (ZSW), Ulm/Germany; Tel.: +49 17619162063 jens.nissen@cellcentic.net Abstract Gross fuel starvation is a harmful degradation stressor to polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stacks. However, it is extremely difficult to fully avoid these events for integration level of fuel cell system and vehicle. In stack setups, properly reactant-supplied cells can apply their voltage to an undersupplied cell due to their electric serial connection. This can cause drastic local negative cell voltages, leading to substitutional reactions like the harmful carbon oxidation reaction. The presented study uses a 3-cell stack to illustrate how properly media supplied cells can apply their cell voltages to a starved cell. This stack consists of state-of-the-art automotive- sized membrane electrode assemblies and carbon composite bipolar plates. Fuel starvation of one cell was generated by an additional flow resistance in the hydrogen media inlet port. The local current density distribution of the starved cell showed two distinct regimes. These regimes suppose the occurrence of different electrochemical reactions along the flow direction. The progression of each fuel cells voltage along the flow field were measured by cell voltage monitoring measurements at eight positions. The voltage of the starved cell was found to be strongly inequal over the flow direction with intense negative voltages towards the fuel outlet. The occurrence of this non-equal cell voltages was explained by local measurements of the flow field plate potentials. A mechanism is proposed, which results in an increased carbon oxidation of the anode catalyst layer towards the fuel outlet during fuel starvation. This mechanism is unique to multi-cell fuel cells because it is based on the mutual distortion of cell voltages caused by electric interaction of adjacent fuel cells during gross fuel starvation.

Page | 1 Participatory Mapping Denwood T.*1, Huck, J.J.1 1 MCGIS, Department of Geography, University of Manchester This research explores the potential of developing Participatory Mapping interfaces that do not include an explicit map or other spatial contextualisation, using a case study in the Lake District, UK. Whilst there are countless examples of the successful deployment of map-based interfaces for collecting spatial information from citizens, in some cases, a map may not be an appropriate tool and other types of visual representations more suitable. We will demonstrate that the uncritical use of spatial contextualisation can impact both the usability of the interface for the user and robustness of the resultant data for the researcher. KEYWORDS: Participatory Mapping, PGIS, Lake District, Photo Comparison 1. Introduction The popularity of Participatory Mapping has increased significantly in the past decade; defined as a “multi-agent practice, through which citizens are required or communicate their spatial thoughts, feelings, or knowledge in support of a specific research aim or decision-making goal” (Denwood et al., 2022a p. 2324). Participatory Mapping has, unsurprisingly, thus far focused upon the use of a range of map-based interfaces (e.g. participatory geographic information systems (PGIS), sketch mapping and mental mapping; Denwood et al., 2022a). Each of these methods comes with a unique set of advantages and drawbacks, for example in terms of accessibility, ease of participant recruitment and the type of data collected. Research has repeatedly demonstrated that the uncritical choice of map interface can result in poor quality data (e.g., Huck et al., 2014; 2019, Denwood et al., 2022; 2022a), and that the specific context (e.g., geographic location, cultural setting) and questions being asked of participants should be key considerations in selecting which method to use (Denwood et al., 2022b). Building on the findings of Denwood et al, (2022b), in this research we explore whether the use of a map-based interface is always appropriate when collecting participatory spatial data. It has long been understood that maps hold “power” (Wood, 2010), and the influence of cartography upon individuals’ interaction with (Field, 2013) and use of (Huck et al., 2016) the map are well understood. It follows that the choice of base map for a Participatory Mapping exercise has the potential to influence participants’ decisions, particularly in cases when those participants are not intimately familiar with the landscape in question; or when the phenomenon being mapped is easily associated with map symbology. For example, consider the question of asking individuals to identify what they consider to be “natural” in a landscape using a Google Map interface. Those without a detailed knowledge of the landscape (e.g., tourists) might easily find themselves influenced by the map and drawn to mark the ‘green’ areas of the map, irrespective of what they are. 2. Methods Here, we examine one such situation, in which we ask a range of stakeholders to identify what they find to be “natural” and “valuable” in the landscape. Participants will complete the survey using a traditional map-based interface, and a photograph-based approach, in which the photographs are representative of certain parcels of land.

Visualizing Senses, Labeling Containers Gökhan Mura, İstanbul Bilgi University, Department of Visual Communication Design Abstract This paper aims to present the design rationale of a work in progress, the design of a set of spice containers. It will focus on to define and clarify the initial idea behind the design. In a world of mass produced identical objects, customized products which reflect the choices of their users allow a better emotional dialogue. User customization helps to explore the experience the direct relation of emotions and their tangible reflections on a product. In this study on the design of a set of spice containers, the very basic idea is to convert the senses into visual data and let the users to determine the final appearance of a product according to senses and emotional wishes. The set is designed to be consist of opaque containers which are identical in shape and having no typography on them. The user is expected to add a portraiture photo shot in the moment of tasting the particular spice, used as a label or to choose a stock photograph from the web site of the project allowing the user to visualize the taste of spice with all his/her social emotional experiences. Every spice evoke different senses and resemble different emotions, so each user will have his/her own label on containers driven by its sense and emotions to indicate what the container contains Keywords: Facial expression, face as an interface, user-defined products, representation of emotion Introduction In this project, I try to explore how the image of a facial expression could be used as a label of a spice container to indicate the kind of spice it contains. In the age of identical mass produced objects, it is important for the user to customize the product he or she owes. The customization of a product defines a space for the user for self expression. The more control on the physical sphere surrounding, the more user satisfaction. Being aware of this fact, numerous products let the user to customize the product, mostly by allowing to determine the final appearance of the product. The user tends to express his or her existence and individuality with the products he or she chooses to finalize. Customizable products mostly allow the user to change the appearance by changing the graphical expression rather than changing the form of the product. Customizable products are generally the personal products which also define the appearance of the user like the mobile phones or the garments. Kitchen appliances and the kitchenware are mostly standard objects those do not allow user customization. But the kitchen is an

Befragt wurden vorwiegend Lehrpersonen in den ersten zwei Berufsjahren, zum Vergleich auch Studierende und erfahrene Lehrpersonen (vgl. Abb. 2). Über die Einschätzung der subjektiv erlebten Beanspruchung wurde faktoranalytisch ein Modell entwickelt, welches die latente Strukturierung der berufsphasenspezifisch wahrgenommenen Anforderungen aus der Sicht der Berufseinsteigenden fasst. Daraus wurden vier Entwicklungsaufgaben mit Subbereichen abgeleitet: identitätsbildenden Rollenfindung, adressatenbezogene Vermittlung, anerkennende Führung und mitgestaltende Kooperation. Die Anforderungen zur Unterrichtsplanung und zur Unterrichtsdurchführung erweisen sich als mit allen vier Entwicklungsaufgaben zusammenhängend und sind Ort der notwendigen Entwicklung (vgl. Abb. 3).

https://doi.org/10.25392/leicester.data.23900205 Policy Brief 2023 – Professor Teela Sanders and Dr Rachel Keighley Prevention of Modern Slavery within Sex Work: the role of Adult Services Websites Executive Summary • The landscape where modern slavery and sexual exploitation takes place has changed with the onset of digital technologies dominating the organisation of the commercial sex industry. • Adult Service Websites (ASWs), where most sexual services are advertised, negotiated and facilitated in the UK, is a relatively new space where exploiters can manipulate, entrap, coerce and force individuals into selling sexual services. • The role of ASWs in facilitating offending behaviour is complicated and unregulated as national intelligence services try to understand routes to trafficking, the police work to identify victims and target offenders, and first responders deliver interventions to victims of sexual exploitation. • Researchers from the University of Leicester, (in partnership with the National Crime Agency, National Police Chief's Council, & the NGO Unseen) investigated what role ASWs can play in preventing human trafficking and sexual exploitation in the UK, and their role in wider policies and laws. Key messages • ASWs are host to large amounts of intelligence and therefore must play a crucial role in the identification and prevention of MSHT online. • ASWs ought to be regulated through ID verification and reporting tools, mandatory and proactive data sharing, safeguarding policies and proactive content moderation which is nuanced and informed. • This paper provides an overview of how legislation can regulate ASWs, supplying recommendations for how Ofcom (as the independent regulator) can shape their Codes of Conduct. Key policy recommendations 1. The Online Safety Bill and Ofcom’s associated Codes of Conduct must include robust prevention and regulatory methods for ASW platforms. 2. The legislation must be appropriately applied and target offenders of exploitation, whilst protecting consensual sex workers advertising online. • Within this is a criticism of the current move to conflate modern slavery with illegal immigration. 3. Ofcom, as the independent regulator, need to understand what modern slavery is, what sexual exploitation is, the ways in which victims are recruited and trafficked into the UK, and the ways ASWs are used to facilitate consensual sex work as distinct from exploitation and trafficking. • Ofcom need the tools to monitor ASWs themselves or work closely with partners (e.g., police) to identify violations. 4. The inclusion of partnership work between law enforcement and ASWs to share tips for identifying exploitation, proactive referrals of suspicious content and other measures. 5. A failure for ASWs to be proactive would result in them being liable for third party content violations, resulting in economic sanctions to ensure compliance. 6. Ofcom’s Code of Conduct must include minimum standards and detailed guidelines for ASWs to improve their MSHT detection and prevention, including ID and consent verification. 7. A statutory release of resources to support the implementation of the Bill and associated Codes of Conduct to overcome resource challenges.

In the past few years, a plethora of serious games concerning eating habits have been developed aiming to help improve people’s diet and prevent chronic diseases. However, little emphasis has been placed on the Mediterranean diet and the Mediterranean way of life. In this paper we propose a novel educa- tional game that promotes the Mediterranean diet among school students in Med- iterranean countries. The work was conducted within the PRIMA SWITCHtoHEALTHY project [1], with a focus on food groups, healthy ingredi- ents, water intake, not skipping meals, and physical activity. The game design followed a co-design approach which is based on the educational game design principles [2]. A related questionnaire regarding game factors was adopted and adjusted to the requirements of the proposed game. Each factor consists of up to three questions, certain questions were updated and a new factor that reflects “Transfer to real life” was introduced. The purpose of this process is to gather end-user feedback, with the goal of optimizing and validating the game design. To avoid bias, respondents were diverse in terms of age, nationality, and status. Children, parents, researchers, and nutritionists from Turkey, Spain, Lebanon, Morocco, and Greece participated in the survey. The higher the score, the more satisfied the user is with each question; nevertheless, low scores can occasionally be justified. The game was revised in consideration to the responses, resulting in a co-designed game. Keywords: Game-based learning, Nutrition, Mediterranean diet, Educational game

Here we focus on the recognition of the expression of high-latitude Holocene palaeoclimatic variations in the medium-latitude palaeoclimatic archives. The climate in the Polar Regions and in the North West Europe is mainly controlled by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), defined as the difference in atmospheric pressure at sea level between the Icelandic low and the Azores high (Hurrell & Deser, 2009; Olsen et al., 2012). The variation of NAO, expressed as NAO index positive (NAO+) or negative (NAO-), is strongly linked to the position of the Atlantic westerly wind jet (AWJ) and consequently to the storm tracks in the North Atlantic, which exert a strong effect on the amount of precipitation in western Europe and on the δ18O of rainfall (Olsen et al., 2012; Smith al., 2016). During NAO+, the South Polar Gyre (SPG) current is stronger, it is more E-W oriented making the Atlantic inflow fresher (Thornalley et al., 2009), AWJ are stronger and their tracks migrate northwards leading to wetter and warmer conditions in the North of Europe and dryer in the South including the western Mediterranean (Cacho et al., 2001). Reversely on NAO- conditions the SPG current is weaker and N-S oriented making the Atlantic inflow saltier, AWJ are weaker and their tracks shift southward leading to wetter and warmer condition in the South of Europe and dryer in the North. (Fig. 1). Within the framework of the ARCA project we studied geochemical proxies (δ18O and δ13C isotopes and trace element variations) from cave carbonate deposits (speleothems) from the Corchia Cave in the Apuan Alps mountain chain (Central Italy, Fig. 1), in order to highlight the main climatic events occurred during the Holocene and their relationship with climatic variations at high latitudes. δ18O values from continental carbonate in the Mediterranean are usually interpreted as indicating drier conditions during periods of increased values and wetter conditions for decreasing trends associated with a marked “amount effect” on rainfall (Bard et al., 2002; Drysdale et al., 2009). Similarly increasing δ13C values are interpreted as lower biogenic CO2 supply, which can result from either short soil–water residence times or minimal soil and vegetation cover above the cave (McDermott, 2004; Drysdale et al., 2004). The Apuan Alps are a mountain range abruptly rising from the narrow coastal plain of the Tyrrhenian seaboard to about 2000 m a.s.l. They represent a natural barrier to humid westerly air masses of North Atlantic provenance (Fig. 1), which bring annual precipitation reaching 3000 mm/yr.

Black arrows show Atlantic Wind Jet tracks: the thicker arrow shows the tracks of the stronger AWJ under NAO+ conditions, the thinner one shows the tracks of weaker AWJ under NAO- conditions.

Jensch telescope, Tautenburg. The primary component is a known A3 V-type pulsating, mass-accreting star. We ﬁtted the light and radial velocity data with the package PHOEBE (Prˇsa et al., 2011), and determined the best-ﬁtting model adopting the conﬁguration of a semi-detached system. We used the orbital period of 2.6641496 ± 0.0000001 days obtained from an updated (O-C) analysis and the phase gap between the MOST and TESS light curves. The absence of any cyclic variation in the (O-C) residuals conﬁrms the long-term stability of this period. We obtained the absolute component parameters: L1 = 14.125 ± 0.008 L⊙, M1 = 2.014 ± 0.004 M⊙, R1 = 1.733 ± 0.006 R⊙, log g1 = 4.264 ± 0.005 and L2 = 4.345 ± 0.003 L⊙, M2 = 0.211 ± 0.001 M⊙, R2 = 2.19 ± 0.01 R⊙, log g2 = 3.078 ± 0.003 with Teﬀ,2/Teﬀ,1 = 0.662 ± 0.002. Although the orbital period appears to be stable on the long term and the ﬁnal solution shows residuals within expected limits, we show that the models derived for each light curve separately entail small diﬀerences, e.g. in the temperature of the companion, allowing us to conclude that the light curve is aﬀected by a years-long modulation. We believe that this is caused by the magnetic activity of the cool companion.

Double-lined eclipsing systems oﬀer the advantage of model-independent fundamental parameters of their components that can be used as direct constraints in the search for relevant models of stellar structure and evolution across the HR-diagram (Torres et al., 2010). Not only do eclipsing systems with pulsating components provide the fundamental properties needed in the search for a precise asteroseismic model, they also undergo phenomena that are intrinsically linked to the 1

Optimized Fuzzy Impedance Control for Empowering Human in Execution of Onerous Task with Manipulators Loris Roveda1, Alessio Prini1, Tito Dinon1, Shaghayegh Haghshenas1,2, Nicola Pedrocchi1, Francesco Braghin2 and Lorenzo Molinari Tosatti1 Abstract— The proposed contribution describes a fuzzy impedance control based approach to assist the human operator in industrial applications while executing onerous tasks. The developed method allows to set in real-time the set-point of the impedance control on the basis of the humans intentions. Moreover, an off-line optimization of the fuzzy impedance con- trol parameters has been performed through an optimization algorithm based on a neural network approach. The proposed method has been veriﬁed in an experimental procedure with 20 human subjects interacting with the manipulator (KUKA iiwa 14 R820). The proposed algorithm has been also validated in an industrial task, performing the installation of a heavy and bulky hatrack component, case-study related to the H2020 CleanSky 2 EURECA project at the KUKA Innovation Award 2017. I. INTRODUCTION Human-robot interaction (HRI) is one of the most relevant topics since the early stage of robotics research [1]. The co- operative execution of onerous tasks (e.g., lifting/installation of heavy components [2]) is one of the main goal of human- robot cooperation research, in order to improve the task ergonomy to avoid/limit musculoskeletal disorders [3]. Many control schemes have been developed to improve the human capabilities while executing cooperative industrial tasks in interaction with standard industrial manipulators [4]. How- ever, only few proposed methods face the problem of lifting unknown inertia properties objects (very common scenario in industrial applications where different components have to be manipulated). Moreover, the applied force of the human operator (to the robot or to the manipulated component) is continuously required even to statically compensate for the component weight. 1 IRAS group of the Institute of Industrial Technologies and Automation of the National Council of Research (ITIA-CNR) via Corti 12, 20133, Milano, Italy loris.roveda@itia.cnr.it 2 Department of Mechanical Engineering, Politecnico of Milano via La Masa 1, 20158, Milano, Italy Fig. 1. Force derivative membership function. The proposed contribution describes a fuzzy impedance control based approach to assist the human operator in industrial applications while executing onerous tasks (e.g., lifting heavy loads). The developed method allows to set in real-time the set-point of the impedance control on the basis of the humans intentions. Two fuzzy membership func- tions have been deﬁned, respectively, on the basis of force derivative and velocity signals to describe human intention. Such membership functions allow to on- line calculate an assistance level through the task execution, deforming the impedance control set-point to enhance the capabilities of the human operator. Moreover, an off-line optimization of such membership functions, together with the impedance control parameters (i.e., stiffness and damping parameters) has been performed through an optimization algorithm consisting of neural networks to automatically tune all impedance con- trol parameters for a speciﬁc component by minimization of standard normalized jerk-related indexes. The proposed method has been veriﬁed in an experimental procedure where 20 human subjects interact with the manipulator (KUKA iiwa 14 R820) to collaboratively lift a heavy component while evaluating the task by scoring seven different criteria (including naturalness, smoothness, detection of intention, motion, stability, effort and performance). During the valida- tion procedure, the developed control strategy has been com- pared with the standard impedance controller. Experimental results show the capabilities of the designed control strategy including both fuzzy impedance control and the optimization algorithm in emp

Experimental Investigation of Angle Diversity Receiver for Vehicular VLC Daniel K. Tettey Research and Development, Ford Otosan Istanbul, Turkey dtettey@ford.com.tr Mohammed Elamassie Electrical and Electronics Eng., Özyeˇgin University Istanbul, Turkey mohammed.elamassie@ieee.org Murat Uysal Engineering Division, New York University Abu Dhabi Abu Dhabi, UAE murat.uysal@nyu.edu ABSTRACT In this paper, we explore the use of multiple photodetectors for vehicular visible light communication (VLC) systems with a focus on the so-called Angle-Diversity Receiver (ADR). ADR builds upon the principle of using multiple photodetectors oriented at different reception angles to enable multidirectional signal reception. With ADR, it is possible to receive light rays from the vehicle headlight in challenging mobility conditions such as in the cases of U-turn, left- turn, and right-turn. In our work, we present preliminary results of an experimental verification of ADR-based vehicular VLC system implemented using software-defined radio platforms. Our results demonstrate that a packet delivery ratio (PDR) of more than 99 % is achieved even for T-junction road scenarios where the link is likely to get lost in the case of conventional single transmitter/receiver configurations.

ITSs require ultra-reliable low latency wireless communication between the vehicles (V2V) and between road-side infrastructure and vehicles (I2V) to realize its full potential. The ubiquity of light emitting diodes (LEDs) in the exterior light- ing of recent vehicles and road-side infrastructures has prompted the consideration of VLC as an alternate and/or complementary con- nectivity solution to radio frequency systems in vehicular commu- nications [3]. While most indoor LEDs have a Lambertian pattern, vehicular headlights exhibit asymmetrical intensity distribution which mainly aims to illuminate the road. Utilization of vehicular headlights therefore brings additional challenges in a vehicular VLC system which is supposed to work in highly dynamic and mobile conditions. Initial works on vehicular VLC systems assumed perfect align- ment between the LED emitter and photoreceiver. Such an idealistic scenario cannot be guaranteed under vehicle mobility as it rarely exists. To address the challenge posed by mobility in vehicular VLC, the a

70ª Reunião Anual da SBPC - 22 a 28 de julho de 2018 - UFAL - Maceió / AL 1 7.08.02 - Educação / Administração Educacional. DIMENSÕES IMPACTANTES NO FINANCIAMENTO DA UNIVERSIDADE ESTADUAL DE FEIRA DE SANTANA (UEFS) Antônio de Macêdo Mota Júnior1* 1. Doutorando em Educação e Contemporaneidade pela UNEB Resumo: Este trabalho aborda o tema da política de financiamento para as Universidades Estaduais da Bahia (UEBA), com o objetivo de identificar dimensões impactantes no processo de financiamento da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana (UEFS), no período 2005-2014. Por meio de abordagem exploratório-descritiva e considerando o cenário desafiador de limitações e dificuldades financeiras, este trabalho aborda a dinâmica do financiamento da educação superior, como uma categoria estruturante, desdobrada em outras oito categorias: a graduação, a pós-graduação, a pesquisa, a extensão, a assistência estudantil, o corpo docente, o corpo técnico-administrativo e a infraestrutura. Os resultados obtidos identificaram três dimensões impactantes no processo de financiamento da instituição, no período pesquisado: a oferta de atividades universitárias, numa dimensão pedagógica; a política de pessoal, numa dimensão política; e a ampliação e manutenção da infraestrutura, numa dimensão econômica.

Palavras-chave: Política Pública; Gestão Universitária; Universidades Estaduais da Bahia. Introdução: O contexto histórico brasileiro da educação superior revela uma inserção extremamente tardia da atividade universitária, principalmente se comparada com a Europa e outros países das Américas. Somente na década de 1920 é que emerge a primeira universidade brasileira, a Universidade do Rio de Janeiro (CUNHA, 2010; FOLETTO; TAVARES, 2013). A atividade universitária brasileira foi historicamente confundida com a atividade do ensino superior, sofrendo um processo de resistências à criação de universidades, que se estendeu do Brasil-Colônia até a Primeira República (1889-1930). No entanto, a partir da década de 1940, romperam-se as barreiras e a atividade universitária passou a se expandir de maneira mais significativa. Esta expansão partiu de uma oferta federal, caracterizada pela união de faculdades pré-existentes, com predominância nas capitais dos Estados e nas regiões Sul e Sudeste do país (CUNHA, 2010; OLIVEN, 2002). Esse atraso histórico fez surgir iniciativas de criação de universidades em diversos Estados e Municípios brasileiros. Neste contexto, o Estado da Bahia também assumiu a responsabilidade pela interiorização da educação superior, com a criação do seu Sistema Estadual composto por quatro universidades: a UEFS, criada em 1970; a Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia (UESB), criada em 1980; a Universidade do Estado da Bahia (UNEB), criada em 1983; e a Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz, criada em 1991 (BOAVENTURA, 2009). Em relação à política de financiamento para essas universidades, o governo do Estado definiu um percentual de aplicação da Receita de Impostos Líquida (RIL), que, nos últimos anos, foi em torno de 5% (cinco por cento). Em 2013, por exemplo, a estimativa de RIL foi de mais de 18 bilhões de reais. Deste montante, destinou-se o percentual de 4,98% para o financiamento das UEBA, atingindo um valor superior a 923 mil reais (UEFS, 2013). Por outro lado, esse percentual vem sendo questionado pelas administrações, movimentos sindicais de docentes e de técnicos e pelos estudantes, como insuficiente para atender as demandas administrativas e acadêmicas dessas universidades, apresentando um cenário bastante desafiador de limitações e dificuldades financeiras (MOTA JÚNIOR, 2015). Assim, este trabalho apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa de natureza aplicada, que aborda o tema da política de financiamento para as UEBA, objetivando identificar dimensões impactantes no processo de finan
