Demo: FoReCo – a forecast-based recovery mechanism for real-time remote control of robotic manipulators Milan Groshev Universidad Carlos III de Madrid Spain Javier Sacido Telcaria Ideas S.L. Spain Jorge Martín-Pérez Universidad Carlos III de Madrid Spain ABSTRACT This demonstration presents FoReCo [4], a solution to recover lost control commands in remotely controlled robots. In the demon- stration, visitors use a joystick to remotely control a robotic arm under the presence of packet losses in the wireless medium. The lost control commands result in a distorted trajectory of the robotic arm, thus, we deploy FoReCo to recover lost control commands using an ML model that we train with a real-world dataset. The demonstration shows how FoReCo recovers the lost commands, and how the robot arm operates smoothly despite the losses that are present in the wireless medium.

However, the presence of packet losses in the the network lead to trajectory deviations that prevent the robot from achieving the expected 99.9999% reliability [1]. The mechatronics and robotic community propose to overcome the lost/delayed control commands using time domain passivity- based solutions [3, 6, 11], or wave-variable passivity-based ap- proaches [9, 10]. But the proposed approaches assume constant network delays [6], or delays with small variability [3, 6, 9–11]. Such assumptions on the network delay do not apply for robots connected using IEEE 802.11 wireless technology, which suffers from uncontrolled packet losses and delays. Specially in industrial scenarios with electromagnetic interference jamming the wireless channel.

FoReCo feeds the ro- bot drivers with the lost/delayed commands it recovers through forecasting – see Figure 1. FoReCo receives the remote control commands and checks if they are received at the expected frequency, e.g., each 150ms. In case a command does not arrive on time (due to 802.11 collisions or interference not recovered with error-correction), FoReCo fore- casts/infers the out of time command using the recent command history. In this demonstration FoReCo uses a multinomial logistic re- gression that we train using a real-world dataset of an experienced robotic arm operator. The ML model receives as input: (1) the posi- tion of each joint 𝑗𝑖(𝑡), ∀𝑖; (2) for how long each joint has been mov- ing without stopping max𝑡0<𝑡{𝑡−

— 724 733 Celebration & Contemplation, 10th International Conference on Design & Emotion 27 — 30 September 2016, Amsterdam Introduction Design probes Probes are used in Science and Design as interventions to incite new ways of perceiving and interpreting reality, and to scope out opportunities for creative collaboration across both domains (Flory an Ivanova, 2015). In this practice-led research project, the idea of a probe emerged as an approach to making novel and conceptual materials tangible, communicable and acceptable to users and consumers, alongside any further development processes in the chain of realisation. The T-probe A specific probe was required that would test response to material and sensory concepts that in some way engaged with the body. The probe had to be usable and wearable, simple and neutral, culturally familiar, yet versatile and customisable, and capable of operating within a range of social situations. The ‘humble’ T-shirt, which is worn universally around the globe and has been successfully implemented as a powerful bridging mechanism for different purposes across a variety of demographics (Talbot, 2013), fulfilled the criteria of wearability and testability. The potential of the T-shirt to engage audiences with novel materials concepts and related experience was tested via three discrete, but methodologically-linked research propositions: Proposition (I) Fungi materials for clothing explored perception of mould as a potential medium for materials design and fabrication; Proposition (II) Fashion for deafblind people studied how a fashion experience may be introduced to people with visual and auditory impairment; Proposition (III) Synthetic ingredients for fine fragrance engaged consumer understanding of synthetic ingredients in perfumery. The three propositions were selected based on common challenges associated with public perception and engagement. Each proposition considered how the design of a T-probe may advance understanding of the proposition. Stimuli such as fungi, textiles, and synthetic fragrance ingredients, were introduced in each case as catalysts in the design and creation of the T-probe. Research Proposition (I): Fungi1 materials for clothing Research Proposition (I) sits comfortably within the field of materials design, where novel bio-based materials and fabrication mechanisms are being proposed and developed by designers in response to sustainability and wellbeing concerns (Antonelli, 2008; Braddock Clarke & Harris, 2012; Harris, 2013; Lee, Abstract This design case presents the synopsis of a practice-led PhD Design Research. The project was born within a contemporary field of design inquiry where designers are exploring novel materials and sensory concepts in response to advances in science and technology. Despite the human, societal, environmental, and potential commercial benefits, which underpin many of these design propositions, applying such ideas across science, industry and the market, proposes distinct challenges linked to human perception. This calls for intelligent and appropriate methods of introducing novel material concepts and related experience at the early stages of their development, which in turn, may inform and ensure the desirability and market viability of such concepts. The aim of the research was to determine the value of using the T-shirt as a wearable probe – i.e. the T-probe – to advance engagement with, and understanding of, novel and challenging material concepts and sensory experiences.

Furthermore, polarised beams as available at the International Linear Collider (ILC) are an essential feature for the complete measurement of the helicity amplitudes that govern the production cross section. Quarks, specially the heaviers, are likely messengers to new physics and at the same time they are ideal benchmark processes for detector optimisation. All four processes call for superb primary and secondary vertex measurements, a high tracking efficiency to correctly measure the vertex charge and excellent hadron identification capabilities. We will show with detailed detector simulations of the International Large Detector (ILD) that production rate and the forward backward asymmetries of the the different processes can be measured at the 0.1% - 0.5% level and how systematic errors can be controlled to reach this level of accuracy. The importance of operating at different center of mass energies and the discovery potential in terms of Randall-Sundrum models with warped extra dimensions will be outlined. 30th International Symposium on Lepton Photon Interactions at High Energies hosted by the University of Manchester 10-14 January, 2022 *Speaker. © Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0). https://pos.sissa.it/

ARVO Annual Meeting Abstract | June 2023 Automatic Deep Learning-based Models for Retinal Layer Thickness Analysis as a Biomarker for Neurodegenerative Diseases Mateo Gende; Joaquim de Moura; Beatriz Cordón; Elisa Vilades; Elena García-Martín; Clara I. Sánchez; Jorge Novo; Marcos Ortega Abstract Purpose : The retina is the most accessible part of the central nervous system, allowing its non-invasive exploration and measurement. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) offers an objective monitoring method of progression in Neurodegenerative Disease (NDD), enabling the extraction of biomarkers such as retinal layer thickness. Machine learning models allow the automatic and repeatable measurement of the retinal layers and enable an early diagnosis of NDD. These need to be trained on annotated images representative of the visual patterns that characterise these diseases. We present a study in the automatic measurement of retinal layer thickness in patients of different NDDs and an assessment of the mutual compatibility of models trained in representative images of these diseases. Methods : Five independent samples of multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and essential tremor patients, along with

Intitule : FORMES CLINIQUES HOSPITALIERES MULTICENTRIQUES DE L'HYPOTHYROÏDIE PÉRIPHÉRIQUE AUTOIMMUNE SUBSAHARIENNE Préambule épidémiologique : Relatées dès 1895 par EXALD cité par DUCROS, l’association diabète et myxœdème est longtemps apparue fortuite... Depuis l'affinement récent des moyens d'exploration thyroïdienne, l'épidémiologie de l'hypothyroïdie a été marquée par une fréquence croissante surtout dans le sexe féminin et chez le sujet âgé. Ailleurs, elle est rarement décrite. Ainsi, selon TROWELL en dehors d'un cas, aucune forme primitive n'a été observée avant 1960 en Afrique. Nous avons retrouvé une anomalie potentielle de la tolérance au glucose dans un cas. Le diabète Il est non insulinodépendant et de type pléthorique dans les 3 cas. Dans 2 cas, le diabète est postérieur et révélé par des signes cardinaux à type de polyurie polydipsie. A l’inverse, dans le dernier cas, le diabète est antérieur de 5 années à l'hypothyroïdie ; il est dépisté systématiquement à l'occasion d'un abcès de la fesse chez un sujet génétiquement prédisposé et jusque-là indemne de toute manifestation d’hypothyroïdie. OBSERVATION PIONNIERE D’HYPOTHYROIDIE AUTO-IMMUNE A DAKAR Sénégal. M. S.T., 37 ans, habitant la région du Cap-Vert, est hospitalisé le 22 mars 1983 pour dyspnée d’effort et œdèmes généralisés. L’aspect et la disproportion entre l’âge et la taille du malade, le pouls à 39, la température à 36°, un psychisme juste passable associé à un nanisme disharmonieux nous ont orientés vers une affection thyroïdienne. L’examen clinique et paraclinique mettent en évidence une insuffisance cardiaque globale (ICG), avec un choc de pointe non visible ni palpable, une augmentation de l’aire de la matité cardiaque, des bruits du cœur assourdis et réguliers, un gros foie cardiaque avec reflux hépato- jugulaire un bas voltage généralisé à l’examen électrocardiographique et un gros cœur en « théière » à la radiographie. Il s’agit là d’un épanchement péricardique avec décompensation cardiaque globale. La peau est ouverte de xanthomes multiples. Le malade est aussi porteur d’une hernie de la ligne blanche sus ombilicale. Après confirmation biologique de l’hypothyroïdie suspectée cliniquement, il a été mis sous opothérapie progressive. Après un mois de traitement, nous assistons à une amélioration spectaculaire de l’ICG et à la disparition des xanthomes cutanés. Le bilan radiologique de notre malade nous a permis de mettre en évidence une ostéopathie hypothyroïdienne, de multiples calculs des voies urinaires cliniquement latents et une néphrocalcinose. La recherche de l’étiologie de ces multiples calculs radio opaques nous révèle l’existence d’une acidose métabolique avec fonction rénale normale, sans trou anionique et d’une hypercalcémie. Les résultats des examens complémentaires figurent au tableau I. Une douleur persistante de l’hypochondre droit dans ce contexte nous a fait suspecter la possibilité d’une lithiase vésiculaire qui a été confirmée par l’échographie et la cholécystographie.

Discovering Enhanced Cultural Probes through a Rapid Ethnographic Evaluation of Emotional Design Tsen-Yao, Chang, Art and Design Research Centre, Sheffield Hallam University – UK Mike Press, Gray's School of Art, The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen – UK Simon Polovina, School of Computing and Management Sciences, Sheffield Hallam University – UK Abstract ‘Emotion’ is a part of user experience that is known and accepted among the human-computer interaction (HCI) community. Indeed, as Norman states, “Beauty and brains, pleasure and usability go hand-in-hand in good design”. Therefore not only is the utility and usability of Web designs important, but also their fun, pleasure, and visual aesthetics. The rapid ethnographical approach provides a well-known, efficient collection of field methods, as well as providing a reliable understanding of user experience and a reduction in time pressures that is associated with other types of research. We thus explored a novel technique employing a hybrid context of cultural probes with a rapid ethnographical method for the evaluation of emotional design. The results of this approach threw up a surprisingly rich amount of user data; indeed so much so that we are still in the early process of analysing it. The results highlight that the various artefacts of methodological thinking involved in user emotional interaction to Graphic User Interface (GUI) of web design, indicates the richness of considering cultural probes in the newly emerging field of ‘Emotional design’. Keywords: emotional design, visual representation, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Graphic User Interface (GUI), rapid ethnographic approach, cultural probes (CP). Background A major technological change in the twenty-first century is “the merger of the infrastructures of communication and computer (Norman, 1998:59)’’.The merger has many influences on daily life, such as the web communication. The web communication is vision based, as people see through the screen and what they interact with is taken directly from it. In terms of web communication, GUI is a critical device to help users manipulate their browsing experiences. In relation to GUI, the improvement of visual representation is to change the relationship between users and computer. Therefore, investigative techniques are becoming increasingly important to help uncover information from user emotional and aesthetic responses when having the interaction with the GUI.


Pesky gNATs: Using Games to Support Mental Health Interventions for Adolescents Abstract This position paper gives a brief overview of a long- term and ongoing series of projects focused on the design and evaluation of computer games that can support mental health interventions with young adolescents. The work has its origins in a HCI project, but has evolved into a long-term interdisciplinary collaboration involving game designers, computer scientists and clinical psychologists, amongst others. It has resulted in a series of computer games and mobile apps that support a range of interventions including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for depression and anxiety, mindfulness-based CBT, an extended intervention CBT for adolescents experiencing trauma, and a CBT intervention for adults with intellectual disabilities. The games and mobile apps have been widely distributed and have been evaluated through randomised controlled trials in clinical settings. Here we briefly describe each game; the overall design process, motivation, and theoretical background; the results of key evaluations; some of our core lessons. Author Keywords Computer games; mobile apps; mental health; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy; adolescents. First steps – Personal Investigator The series of games outlined below have their origin in work published at ACM CHI 2009 [1]. At the outset, Copyright is held by the author/owner(s).

XXVI Congresso Brasileiro de Física Médica IX Congresso Latino Americano de Física Médica Fortaleza – Brasil 07 a 11 de junho de 2022 Associação Brasileira de Física Médica ® Algoritmo Clarkson Modificado na verificação do cálculo de dose no software Rt Connect Juliana Campos de Freitas1, Pedro Argolo Piedade2,3, Carlos Queiroz2, Gilney Matias2, Thiago Schmeling Fontana3 1Programa de pós-graduação em Biometria, UNESP, Botucatu-SP, Brasil 2 RT Medical Systems LTDA, Florianópolis-SC, Brasil 3 Radioterapia São Sebastião, LCCC, Florianópolis-SC, Brasil Resumo: RT Connect é um software desenvolvido para verificação de planejamento de tratamento de radioterapia. Através da inclusão de arquivos no formato dicom provenientes do sistema de planejamento, o RT Connect é capaz de calcular a quantidade de Unidade Monitora do tratamento. Para o cálculo de Radioterapia por Intensidade Modulada é utilizado o Algoritmo de Clarkson Modificado, em que o feixe é decomposto em relação às lâminas do colimador, e o cálculo é realizado através da soma da contribuição de cada lâminas a um ponto de cálculo de tratamento. Múltiplos pontos podem ser definidos de modo que os feixes possuam pontos não colimados. Outros fatores de correção são considerados, e podem ser editados e configurados de acordo com as preferências do usuário. Palavras-chave: física médica; radioterapia; verificação de dose; algoritmo de Clarkson modificado. Abstract: RT Connect is software designed for verification of radiotherapy treatment planning. By including files in dicom format from TPS, RT Connect is able to calculate the amount of Monitor Unit of the treatment. For the calculation of Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy, Modified Clarkson Algorithm is used, in which the beam is decomposed in relation to the collimator leaves, and the calculation is performed by adding the contribution of each leaf to a calculation point of treatment. Multiple points can be defined so the beams do not have collimated points. Other correction factors are considered, and can be edited and configured according to user preferences. Keywords: medical physics; radiation oncology; dose verification; modified Clarkson algorithm. Introdução: O planejamento da radioterapia envolve diversas etapas, e uma delas exigida pela Comissão Nacional de Energia Nuclear (CNEN) na Norma 6.101, é que exista um sistema de verificação do cálculo de dose. A complexa geometria de campos utilizando Radioterapia de Intensidade Modulada (IMRT), dificulta a realização do cálculo de verificação de dose como descrito nos relatórios AAPM TG 1142 e TG 2183. Assim, para o cálculo de tratamento de IMRT com geometria isocêntrica, foi implementado no software RT Connect4 o Algoritmo de Clarkson Modificado inicialmente proposto por Kung et al.5, e discutido e utilizado em diversos trabalhos. É considerado a geometria do campo a partir de um ponto de cálculo, e que para campos estáticos este deve ser preferencialmente não colimado, e o cálculo é realizado através da soma de cada configuração de abertura de lâminas definida (control point), considerando assim outros fatores de correção no cálculo, como o fator de transmissão de lâminas (Ft), o qual é alterado se o ponto de cálculo está colimado ou em região de penumbra, e o peso acumulado (w) de cada control point. Métodos: O Algoritmo de Calrkson Modificado implementado considera determinados fatores de cálculo de acordo com distância do ponto de cálculo definido às lâminas do campo, em que para campos dinâmicos é realizado a soma de cada control point. Os fatores que variam são o fator espalhamento (Sp), o fator de razão tecido máximo (TMR), e também a razão de espalhamento máximo (SMR). Todos os pares de lâminas são avaliados, em que os pares são divididos entre as duas lâminas, classificados como lâmina 1 e lâmina 2. Além disso, é considerado no cálculo o espalhamento primário de cada campo, representado pelo índice ‘0’ em cada fator em que é aplicado. Quanto ao fator de transmissão

Krzysztof Borkowski, Jakub Borkowski, and Marek Durmała University College of Tourism and Ecology in Sucha Beskidzka, Poland E-mail address: krzysztof.borkowski@suchabeskidzka.pl Abstract – With growing demand for sustainable tourism, ecotourism is a fast-growing branch of the tourism industry, where the design and management of destinations must take into consideration the quality, originality, ecological compatibility, aesthetical properties, educational value, and the evaluation of the carrying capacity of destinations. In this study, we propose a new type of artificial tourist attractions within educative ecotourism, the green hostels constructed entirely of natural materials in harmony with the environment. The here presented model may be adapted to any type of natural environments. Our model of green hostels is based on biologically renewable construction materials and natural economic media network, may constitute a new tourist product in ecotourism. Apart from the presentation of the concept, the study sought answers to the following specific issues: (1) Identify the target group of the planned tourist offer and its needs and estimate the potential number of direct recipients of the project and (2) Demand analysis, based on needs research in terms of developing the tourist offer in a given area, based on which it is possible to indicate the demand for a specific type of tourist product. Keywords – ecotourism, ecological construction, renewable energy, carrying capacity, green hostel, natural economic media network, demand analysis. Received: January 26, 2021 Accepted: March 12, 2021 INTRODUCTION Contemporary trends in creating tourist attractions originate from the 3xE rule (entertainment, excitement, education). The tourism industry in our days with its dynamic development constantly needs new attractions and travel destinations for millions of participants who have already visited recognized facilities, were everywhere and there is not much left to impress them. Furthermore, ecotourism is among the fastest growing branches of tourism, which requires an interdisciplinary approach, embracing sustainable destination development with green technologies and renewable energy- efficient solutions, careful planning of ecological load based on the carrying capacity of touristic destinations and informal education with a great deal of adventures and experience- based learning. Thus, a rich and comprehensive tourist offer (and only such an offer has a chance to be noticed among thousands of others) should be based on searching for original attractions, and if they are not enough - on creating new ones. This creation necessarily concerns primarily culture and technology, as the number of natural attractions is limited and identified. Apart from recognized attractions, such as the Niagara Falls or the Monument Valley National Park, there are many kitschy objects - museums of wax figures, houses filled with ghosts from famous horrors, objects full of dubious memorabilia, e.g. of Elvis Presley or fairy tale characters. The creation of artificial attractions as an alternative to traditional tourist destinations, taking over a growing part of the tourist traffic, is a phenomenon that is becoming more and more common (Kruczek 2014). The initiative to build a green hostel is all the more positive based on biologically renewable construction materials and a natural network of economic media" based on the idea of fascination with the Polish mountain landscape and the natural and anthropogenic heritage of the region offering a real encounter. The visitors can experience the nature and culture of the place they are visiting. Przecławski (197

Introduction: ● The OH radical is an important species in the troposphere, it is responsible for the removal of many species e.g. CO, CH4 and other hydrocarbon species. In the stratosphere it is responsible for the removal of some O3. ● The average daytime concentration of OH in the troposphere and stratosphere is around 106 molec. per cm-3. Therefore a sensitive and accurate detection technique is required. Laser-induced-fluorescence (LIF) methods of detection have been developed to measure OH levels in the troposphere and stratosphere4. ● In the FAGE1 technique, used for tropospheric monitoring, a laser is tuned to an absorption line of OH and directed though a cell at reduced pressure. The OH is excited to the A2Σ+ v’=0 level at 308nm. ● In the stratosphere3 OH is monitored by excitation at 282nm to the A2Σ+ v’=1 level, fluorescence collected from the v’=0 level after VET. ● Total fluorescence is proportional to the concentration of OH. ● In order to obtain accurate measurements, the fluorescence efficiency must be known, i.e., the number of fluorescent photons per absorbing OH molecule. ● To calculate the fluorescence efficiency information about the rates of electronic quenching and Vibrational Energy Transfer (VET) are needed.

Quantitative descriptions of extended volume cardiac tissue architecture from multiple large hearts Background The arrangement of cardiac cells into strand and sheet-like structures within the heart wall, confers important electrical properties onto heart tissue. Unraveling cardiomyocyte architecture in both healthy and diseased hearts is fundamental to understanding the mechanisms generating normal rhythm and arrhythmia. We present multiple quantitative measures of tissue architecture that give a deeper understanding of cardiac structures and their spatial variation than previously possible. Mark L. Trew, Bryan J. Caldwell, Bruce H. Smaill, The University of Auckland, New Zealand Methods • Extended volume serial imaging (Fig 1). Five normal pig hearts were fixed, wax embedded and serially block face imaged with Toluidine blue stain. Resolution was 8.332 m2 in plane. • Correcting processing artifact (Fig 1). Non-linear corrections matched 3D MRI and serial image fudicial markers. • Post processing and segmentation of tissue/non-tissue (Figs 1, 2). Piecewise image histogram equalization algorithm was used. Segmentation to tissue/non-tissue masks used piecewise thresholding with parameters trained on key images (Figs 1F, 1G). • Myofiber orientations. Eigen-analysis of structure tensor computed with 1D FFT. • Laminar cleft skeletonization (Fig 3). 2D FE templates matched on sub-images (Fig 1H). • Tissue connectivity descriptions (Fig 4). Custom shell weight summation filter was applied to segmented images (Fig 1H) with 1D FFT. Results & Discussion • Transmural image dimension: 1900±283 pixels; other dimensions: 2325±222 pixels; volumes: 7.6-12.6 cm3. • Subregions of segmented corrected images (Fig 1G) were rendered for visualization (Fig 5). • Laminar cleft skeletonization (Fig 1H) were rendered in subregions of 3 hearts and showed differing distributions of small, moderate and large clefts (Fig 6). • Myofiber orientations from 3D corrected intensity images (Fig 1F) showed expected transmural fiber rotation, but heart-to-heart variability (Fig 7). • Over all tissue samples, structural measure such as laminar cleft area, laminar cleft angle of attack (1 is orthogonal to epicardium and 0 is parallel) and tissue connectivity varied smoothly across the heart wall (Fig 8). • These data were used to construct one comprehensive model of electrical activation in pig heart tissue sample (Fig 9). Model showed impact of structural features on the spread of electrical activation. • These are the first comprehensive quantitative digital descriptions of myocardial architecture in extended LV tissue segments from multiple large hearts. • Analysis tools are designed to work with very large image sets. • These data and descriptions are paired with experimental recordings for function-structure analysis. • The analysis tools described here can also be applied to other imaging modalities used to build 3D image sets. Other modalities include: high-field MRI, extended volume confocal microscopy and CT. • Future work includes completing descriptions of intramural vessel structures. Conclusion Cardiac tissue images can be quantitatively analyzed for structures that affect the development of electrical activation and, hence, the behavior of the heart. Variation in structural measures can be used to interpret experimental observations and inform computer activation models. A B C A B C D E A B 1.3 0 C Figure 2 (left).

tools built for one project are immediately available to a large audience of research groups and the communities they work with. REINFORCE-ing the SDGs Gary Hemming REINFORCE Technical Manager & Software Developer at the European Gravitional Observatory Citizen Science platforms as a way to impact on the SDGs / REINFORCE-ing the SDGs In REINFORCE - REsearch INfrastructures FOR Citizens in Europe - individual demonstrators involved in cutting-edge scientific research - gravitational-wave detection, neutrino detection, particle identification and muon imaging - will create projects on the Zooniverse online citizen-science platform. REINFORCE wants to go beyond established traditional disciplinary frontiers, in terms of the ways in which we understand reality, and to explore the interface between Art and Science, developing critical thinking in a world moving towards increased digital connectivity and remote working and experience. The strengths and benefits of using a centralised platform Integral to the REINFORCE project is the Zooniverse citizen-science platform; the world’s largest platform for online citizen science. Supporting more than 250 projects across the sciences and humanities, the Zooniverse runs projects which serve as precursors to the particle physics, gravitational-wave and neutrino projects. The Panoptes software, which powers the Zooniverse platform, comes with a number of unique features that have been designed with a focus on skills development and thereby allows all participants to play a full role in scientific exploration. Building on top of the existing platform has the advantage of working with proven, scalable software, while also allowing the project to have an impact beyond its initial projects. Because of the uniquely shared nature of the open-source Zooniverse platform, any Grant Miller Project Manager of the Zooniverse team at the University of Oxford An early version of the Deep Sea Hunters REINFORCE demonstrator within Zooniverse. Bildrechthinweise/Bildbeschreibung The application and advantages of data-sonification A key element of the REINFORCE project is the provision of sonified versions of classification data alongside their visual counterparts across all of the demonstrator projects. This approach within the project is pursued with the aim of increasing accessibility and fostering a multi-sensorial approach via the online platform. The provision of data in an audio format also allows for these data to be interrogated more thoroughly, increasing the potential to discover structures that may not be immediately apparent on the visual plane. To this end, REINFORCE leverages the cutting-edge sonoUno software, to provide sonified versions of the available data. While citizen scientists will be able to study and classify data in both visual and audio formats within Zooniverse, they will also be able to go to the next level, by studying the data from different perspectives via the sonoUno application. Different users understand data in different ways, so this possibility to delve deeper into this data and to calibrate parameters to individual preferences helps to open new opportunities.

It provides critical decision making tools to cultural heritage stakeholders charged to face climate change and natural hazards. The project improves existing processes related to three identified areas: Prevention, Intervention and Policies, planning and processes. In the specific area of the use of drones, the STORM architecture is aimed at enhancing the capacity of situation awareness through the use of sensors capable of transmitting to control rooms the most appropriate data about the ongoing emergency situation. The poster will describe the integration of use of UAVs within the overall emergency management process. 1. INTRODUCTION STORM (Safeguarding Cultural Heritage through Technical and Organisational Resources Management) is an Horizon 2020 research project, financed by the EC that proposes predictive models and improved non-invasive and non-destructive methods of survey and diagnosis of cultural heritage buildings and sites. The aim of the project is providing effective prediction of environmental changes for revealing threats or conditions that could damage cultural heritage sites. Moreover, it will determine how different vulnerable materials, structures and buildings are affected by different extreme weather events together with risks associated to climatic conditions or natural hazards, offering improved, effective adaptation and mitigation strategies, systems and technologies. An integrated system featuring sensors (intra fluorescent and wireless acoustic sensors), legacy systems, state of the art platforms (including LiDAR and UAVs), as well as crowdsourcing techniques will be implemented, offering applications and services over ad open cloud infrastructure. Results will be tested in relevant case studies in five different pilot sites: Diocletian Baths (Rome – Italy), Historical Centre of Rethymno (Rethymno – Greece), Mellor Heritage Project (Manchester – England), Roman Ruins of Tróia (Tróia – Portugal) and Ephesus (Izmir –Turkey).

Computational ﬂuid dynamics (CFD) can complement this shortcoming. It enables the computation of hemodynamics at a high spatio-temporal resolution based on medical images. The aim of this proposed study is to establish a CCT-based CFD methodology for the analysis of left ventricle (LV) hemodynamics and to assess the usability of the computational framework for clinical practice. Materials and Methods: The methodology is demonstrated by means of four cases selected from a cohort of 125 multiphase CCT examinations of heart failure patients. These cases represent subcohorts of patients with and without LV aneurysm and with severe and no mitral regurgitation (MR). All selected LVs are dilated and characterized by a reduced ejection fraction (EF). End-diastolic and end-systolic image data was used to reconstruct LV geometries with 2D valves as well as the ventricular movement. The intraventricular hemodynamics were computed with a prescribed-motion CFD approach and evaluated in terms of large-scale ﬂow patterns, energetic behavior, and intraventricular washout. Results: In the MR patients, a disrupted E-wave jet, a fragmentary diastolic vortex formation and an increased speciﬁc energy dissipation in systole are observed. In all cases, regions with an impaired washout are visible. The results furthermore indicate that considering several cycles might provide a more detailed view of the washout process. The pre-processing times and computational expenses are in reach of clinical feasibility. Conclusion: The proposed CCT-based CFD method allows to compute patient-speciﬁc intraventricular hemodynamics and thus complements the informative value of CCT. The method can be applied to any CCT data of


25th International Symposium on Electronic Theses and Dissertations – ETD 2022, Novi Sad, Serbia September 7 - 9, 2022 Scenario and status of ETD e-Infrastructure in Indian academic libraries Abstract: India has huge academic platform, more than 1027 Universities, 161 premier institutions and more than 1,000 R & D institutions serving in the field of Teaching and Learning. As quality index is measured by output, number of thesis produced year after year, taken into account. As per UGC, India guidelines, after awarding Ph.D., thesis should be made available on ETD, mainly on Shodhganga of INFLIBNET. Beside this it is observed that there are four kind of channels in which one can get ETD in India i.e. Shodhganga, NDL, Institutional repositories and OPAC of particular institutes’ libraries. These channels are serving academic communities for ETDs. Looking into this scenario, researcher wants to study mainly duplication of availability of ETDs, methods of searching ETDs, packaging of ETDs and metadata of ETDs across various channels. To study this, researcher collected sample of thesis of Science & Tech, Arts & literature, Social Science & humanities by random method from each channel and tried to justify objectives determined for the study. The aim behind this study is accessibility of ETDs, to suggest a common and comprehensive format of metadata as well thesis itself, to point out duplication of theses across and within ETD, create awareness about creative commons and copyrights and point out loop holes in searching methods especially for multidisciplinary thesis. To study this, researcher has collected secondary data from ETD itself and also went through literature and study published on India based ETDs. It is also noted here during the study that whether this channels are providing bibliometric reports or has provision for downloading data in standards bibliometric formats which can support in performing bibliometric analysis in R studio or Python or Bibexcel like analytic tools? Whether these ETD platforms have been providing statistical / bibliometric parameters for available contents? To perform this study, meta data were collected categorically classified and compared and further analysed against aim and objectives of the study. For each objective a negative hypothesis formed as null-hypothesis. ➢ To study this is necessary to divide major players in to cases, that is classified by their objectives, functions, operations and target users. Case – 1 Shodhganga The first case is of Shodhganga which is national electronic thesis data base, which has largest ETD collection and growing day by day.

It is a server program that can be run on a local computer and that provides a web-based environment for working with code and data. A JupyterHub forms an organizational layer for Jupyter Notebooks on a server and allows authentication and authorization of users. Using a JupyterHub, it is possible to provide a predefined and uniform software stack for all users of this JupyterHub, which is especially attractive for courses. However, running your own, self-configurable JupyterHub brings challenges in the form of the required resources and knowledge to run a web service. JupyterHub as a Service (JHaaS) addresses this issue by enabling fully automated on-demand deployments of JupyterHub instances in arbitrary Kubernetes clusters. To do this, a course leader requests a JupyterHub from JHaaS and defines a configuration appro- priate for that course. A governance can agree to this request, whereupon JHaaS takes care of the deployment of the JupyterHub before the course starts and the dele- tion after the course ends. Course participants can apply to join the JupyterHub and can be accepted by the course leader. With JHaaS, it is easy to deploy JupyterHub instances for many use cases while giving control over the definition of and the access to the JupyterHub to the course leader. JHaaS is currently in a very early stage of development and is accordingly subject to active change. A trial run in regular courses is planned for the upcoming winter semester of 2023–2024 and our source code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/orgs/JLU-BCF/repositories.

It is a server program that pro- vides a web-based and thus largely device-independent environment with a predefined software stack. This server program can be executed and used on a local computer, but it does not provide authentication and authorization mechanisms. Therefore, it is not suitable for remote access. This is where JupyterHub comes in and provides a central web service that manages Jupyter Notebooks and allows authentication and authorization of users. The server

We assessed the immunogenicity and safety of a quadrivalent human papillomavi- rus (HPV) vaccine administered concomitantly or sequentially with a tetravalent dengue vaccine (CYD-TDV) in healthy children 9–13 years of age in Malaysia. Methods: In this phase IIIb, open-label, multicenter study (NCT02993757), participants were randomized 1:1 to receive 3 CYD-TDV doses 6 months apart and 2 doses of quadrivalent HPV vaccine concomitantly with, or 1 month before (sequentially), the first 2 CYD-TDV doses. Only baseline dengue-seropositive participants received the 3 doses. Antibody levels were measured at baseline and 28 days after each injection using an enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay for HPV-6, -9, -16 and -18, and the 50% plaque reduction neutralization test for the 4 dengue serotypes; immuno- genicity results are presented for baseline dengue-seropositive participants. Safety was assessed throughout the study for all participants. Results: At baseline, 197 of 528 (37.3%) randomized participants were dengue-seropositive [n = 109 (concomitant group) and n = 88 (sequential group)]. After the last HPV vaccine dose, antibody titers for HPV among baseline dengue-seropositive participants were similar between treatment groups, with between-group titer ratios close to 1 for HPV-6 and 0.8 for HPV-11, -16, and -18. After CYD-TDV dose 3, dengue antibody titers were similar between treatment groups for all serotypes [between-group ratios ranged from 0.783 (serotype 2) to 1.07 (serotype 4)]. No safety concerns were identified. Conclusions: The immunogenicity and safety profiles of CYD-TDV and quadrivalent HPV vaccines were unaffected when administered concomi- tantly or sequentially in dengue-seropositive children.

"Unveiling the Tapestry: A Comprehensive Exploration of Learning Outcomes Development, Key Concepts, and Challenges in Higher Education" By Psychometric Professor Associate Dr. Basim Nazhat Al-Samarrai Unpublished Article – Feb13 2024 Understanding the history of learning outcomes development, exploring key concepts, and delving into the challenges associated with their use in higher education is essential for educators and institutions alike. The evolution of learning outcomes reflects a shift in educational paradigms, marking a departure from traditional approaches toward more outcome-oriented methodologies. By delving into this history, educators gain insights into the underlying philosophies shaping current educational practices. Examining the main concepts of learning outcomes provides a foundational understanding of their diverse forms and classifications. This exploration allows educators to comprehend the nuanced dimensions of learning outcomes, ranging from broad, overarching goals to specific, measurable achievements. However, this journey is not without its challenges. Higher education institutions face complexities in aligning learning outcomes with diverse academic programs, accommodating varying levels of specificity, and ensuring effective implementation. Navigating these challenges is crucial for fostering meaningful learning experiences and improving educational outcomes. Thus, this paper introduces a comprehensive exploration of the history, main concepts, and challenges surrounding learning outcomes is paramount for educators and institutions committed to enhancing the quality and effectiveness of higher education. Behavioral objectives movement In recent times, a shift from the behavioral objectives movement to an outcome-based approach has been witnessed in several higher education systems. The learning outcome movement has emerged as an extension of the behavioral objectives movement, initially conceived to enhance the quality of education through improved instruction and curriculum development. This shift has been prompted by the need to address challenges arising from the misuse of behavioral objectives and align with the ongoing reform movements in education. Despite this transition, key ideas and concepts from the behavioral objectives era continue to play significant roles in understanding learning outcomes. --------------------- Psychometric Professor Associate: Dr. Basim Nazhat Al-Samarrai - Education: Ph.D. Psychometrics, Indiana University, USA- .1983.

Abstract We report preliminary ﬁndings from an online study, identi- fying people’s attitudes toward privacy issues. The results conﬁrm some of the previous research ﬁndings regarding demographic and contextual dependencies of privacy per- ceptions. The research presents a new scale for measuring attitudes to privacy issues that is based on privacy harms. The results suggest that people consider privacy harms in generic and simpliﬁed terms, rather than as separated is- sues suggested in legal research. This research identiﬁed major factors that people tend to think of while considering online privacy.

URL goes here c) INTRODUCTION • The spruce beetle is native to North America and typically follows a boom-bust population cycle. • A two-year life cycle is typical but a one-year cycle occurs under warmer growing conditions and may become more prevalent with climate change. • We are interested in factors that may shift two- year populations to one-year cycles and thus increase population growth. METHODS • Three spruce beetle populations (Duffey Lake, Prince George, BC and Whitecourt, AB) were reared at constant 21°C, 15°C, or 12°C temperatures. • A logistic regression was conducted with degree day, population, and host tree as independent variables. DISCUSSION • Degree day accumulation is the most important predictor in spruce beetle pupation. • Pupation phenology varies with spruce beetle population. • The host tree has a significant impact on the probability of spruce beetle pupation.

25th International Symposium on Electronic Theses and Dissertations – ETD 2022, Novi Sad, Serbia September 7 - 9, 2022 The centralized originality check of the doctoral dissertations at the University of Belgrade: a model of a controlled and transparent procedure Abstract. The procedure of originality check of the doctoral dissertations at the University in Belgrade, established in 2018 is presented in this paper. Since that year, at the University of Belgrade, the service Ithenticate (Turnitin) is used systematically for originality checks for all Ph.D. thesis that are in the process of evaluation. This presentation intends to explain how the procedure can be maximally controlled on one side but also transparent enough on the other. 1 Introduction In June 2018 the Senat of the University of Belgrade has adopted The Rule of procedure for verification of originality of doctoral dissertations. By that Rule, from October 2018, one new step of the procedure is established. All dissertations that are in the process of evaluation have to be checked using the service Ithenticate. For this process of originality check, the Central Library of the University, University Library “Svetozar Marković”, is taking charge. The procedure prescribes that the results of the originality check should be sent to the mentor of the dissertation. 2 The procedure The procedure of verification of originality includes the following steps: the student is delivering a completely finished doctoral dissertation to the students’ service at his/her faculty. The officer at the faculty uploads the thesis to the specially established system (Valtez - DSpace repository, created by the University of Belgrade Computer Centre, and especially B. Kosanović) as a central infrastructure for the exchange of the information and documentation. This entry has to contain the most necessary information such as the name of the candidate, the title of the dissertation, the name and the mail of the mentor. The person in charge at the Central library will download the document and perform the originality check using the service Ithenticate. After getting a similarity report, the librarian will enter this relevant data back into Valtez system: link to the report, and the date when the check is performed. Valtez system will generate standardized mail for mentors with important information and additional useful data. The main information within this mail contains, besides a link, also credentials for access to the report. A copy of that mail is sent to the Central Library at the address of the person in charge.

A crescente presença de dispositivos móveis conectados à Internet e aplicativos amplia as oportunidades de coleta de dados (Gasque, 2016). Assim, as redes sociais surgem como uma ferramenta estratégica para ampliar a visibilidade das bibliotecas, conforme destacado por Ramos (2022), que reconhece sua utilidade para promover produtos e serviços das bibliotecas, fortalecendo sua presença entre os usuários. A presente pesquisa apresenta o andamento das metodologias empregadas no estudo em desenvolvimento, que propõe diretrizes para o uso das redes sociais pelas bibliotecas do Instituto Federal do Rio de Janeiro (IFRJ). O problema investigado centra-se nos desafios enfrentados pelas bibliotecas do IFRJ no compartilhamento de informações via redes sociais, potencialmente decorrentes da ausência de diretrizes consistentes e de um planejamento específico para a interação com a comunidade acadêmica. Durante esse processo, a biblioteca desempenha um papel fundamental ao auxiliar os usuários na obtenção de informações pertinentes, inserindo-se

Page | 1 Using Interactive Space-Time Cube Visualisation for Pattern Mining in Bicycle Trajectories and Traffic-Related Parameters Andreas Keler*1,2, Sylvia Ludwig2 and Chenyu Zuo3 1Applied Geoinformatics, University of Augsburg 2Chair of Traffic Engineering and Control, Technical University Munich 3Chair of Cartography and Visual Analytics, Technical University Munich GISRUK 2023 Summary This work focuses on the visualisation of bicycle trajectories at an urban junction in Munich, Germany, using a Space-Time cube (STC) approach. The trajectories are obtained from a traffic observation using computer-vision-based approaches and pre-processed for analysis. A GUI implementation in MATLAB is introduced for evaluating the usefulness of the STC technique for transport planning and engineering purposes, with a focus on evaluating traffic safety. The visual patterns are evaluated by experts based on the quality of five interactive components of the implemented STC GUI. KEYWORDS: data processing, data visualisation, space-time cube, traffic analysis, bicycle trajectories 1. Introduction Long-term observations of road users at urban junctions can reveal different aspects of varying traffic efficiency, safety and comfort – especially for VRUs such as cyclists. Cities can benefit from novel and established visualisation techniques to address the needs of cyclists – by getting insights on for example red light violations, conflicts and delays (partially dependent on the present traffic control strategies) through obtainable spatiotemporal patterns. In this work, we focus on the visualisation of bicycle trajectories in a Space-Time cube (STC) at the junction of Theresienstraße and Ludwigstraße in Munich, Germany. The trajectories have a high spatiotemporal resolution as they are obtained from applying computer-vision-based approaches for extracting detected, classified and tracked road users from video data coming from a traffic observation (with static video sensor). After pre-processing the extracted trajectories, we select only trajectories of the road user type cyclist based on the previous road user classification. Additionally, data of the traffic light signalling provided by the city of Munich was included as additional input for visualisation. In the following steps, we introduce a GUI implementation in MATLAB with user-defined filtering functions and other visualisation options. This STC GUI implementation is used for evaluating the usefulness of the STC technique for transport planning and engineering purposes, which is practically realized by introducing the respective domain knowledge into the practical testing of the tool. This comes together with our initial motivation of evaluating traffic safety, which is usually differentiated into direct measures (traffic accidents, crashes) and indirect measures (traffic conflicts) as they are defined by Hydén (1987). The detectable visual patterns are being evaluated by six experts based on the quality of five interactive components of the implemented STC GUI. * andreas.keler@uni-a.de

Оксид цинка в последнее время интенсивно внедряется в инженерии скаффолдов в медицине и ветеринарии (проходя испытания, как правило, на лабораторных животных) [1-4]. Однако в подобных работах он используется лишь как компонент в составе композита или аддитивное покрытие скаффолда или же импрегнация поверхности. Тем не менее, ZnO обеспечивает как улучшение механических свойств, так и антибактериальные свойства. Однако в большинстве работ (за редким исключением [5]) не учитывается, что подобные каркасы являются, по сути, прежде всего, полупроводник-содержащими структурами. ZnO является полупроводником с шириной запрещённой зоны 3,36 эВ, вследствие смещения стехиометрического отношения в сторону обогащения кислородом, обладающим электронным типом проводимости. При этом, как известно из истории физики и техники полупроводников, ZnO является чувствительным фотоэлектретом (он использовался в системах электрофотографии), что позволяет говорить о нём как об управляемом облучением материале с локально изменяемой (оптическим путём) и длительно сохраняемой поляризацией. Таким образом, с одной стороны, можно обеспечить предоперационную / преимплантационную оптимальную поляризацию материала скаффолда (что особо необходимо для управления аксональным наведением и для остеорегенерации) с содержанием ZnO на поверхности, а, с другой стороны – можно использовать оксид цинка с данными свойствами как фотоактивируемый бактерицидный материал, в фотодинамической терапии, в любых задачах, где полупроводник, активируемый излучением, способен что либо программируемо изменять в функции скаффолда.
