Evolution and significance of signalling traits in squirrels Tree squirrels in the Indian subcontinent: Funambulus and Ratufa FUTURE DIRECTIONS • Study evolution of species-specific traits, with special emphasis on the genomic aspects of colour and stripe variation • Understand behaviour patterns like breeding periods and habitat use using long term automated recorders • Study behavioural contexts associated with significant note/call types Species often evolve complex signalling mechanisms to communicate within and across species. These traits could have separate evolutionary histories, and understanding the adaptive roles of separate traits can be challenging. We examine the role of size, morphology, colour, and acoustics in squirrels through behavioural and quantitative approaches. Body Size Visual classification: Spectrogram of note type repertoire Signalling traits in three palm squirrel species: which traits are under selection? Skull Morphology Dorsal Coat colour Acoustic signal Can acoustic signals explain behaviour? Nivetha M, Suyash S, Amira S, Shijisha AC and R Nandini Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Tirupati nivetham@students.iisertirupati.ac.in; www.sciuridlab.in How complex are acoustic traits? B -C B -C Dilip A The three Funambulus species are very similar in their morphological (body size,skull and colour) characteristics. Acoustic features are species-speciﬁc, implying signiﬁcance of acoustic trait evolution. Spectral classification: Fuzzy clustering using non-correlated spectral parameters Note types of all species are graded in nature. The note types in the data can be optimally clustered into two groups using spectral parameters. Visual and spectral classiﬁcations are moderately similar.

Supplementary files for the Cyber Security Economics Model (CYSEM) Reliance on cyber security experts' judgment and communication gaps between experts and board members weaken organizations' ability to respond to cyber threats, and research lacks a transparent way to quantify these risks. We propose a novel CYSEM that quantifies security risk in financial terms by integrating Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) with the Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) model. We decided to provide more details of the case study here to better explain and evaluate the CYSEM. In addition, we will briefly introduce the future extension and possible applications of the CYSEM. A Case Study Based on 2017 Equifax Data Breach for Cyber Security Economics Model (CYSEM) Evaluation To illustrate the application of the developed CYSEM, we will conduct a case study based on the 2017 Equifax data breach [3]. Accessing company data related to data breaches and cyber security is notably difficult due to the sensitivity of the information, which companies are generally reluctant to share publicly, even in anonymized and confidential formats. To address this issue, we enhance our modeling with semi-synthetic data, which blends realistic and synthetic data [2]. For this case scenario, we use the 2017 Equifax data breach (please see Table 1 for brief introduction), integrating actual data from the incident report and generating mock data based on expert opinions where the report lacks specifics. This mock data is detailed through inputs from experts with over 15 years of experience in consulting enterprises on cyber security matters, thus simulating real-world practices. Table 1. Brief Review of 2017 Equifax data breach TEF evaluation. In this stage, we will find out the potential threat actors (𝑇𝑛). We will map the characteristics and assets of Equifax with corresponding SDOs and properties in STIX. To be considered for deeper threat analysis, a threat actor must associate with at least one characteristic or asset to an SDO or property. For example, the threat actor FIN7, driven by financial gain, might benefit from the sale of consumer data. Dridex could also target Equifax due to its industry and location. Next, we will evaluate 𝑇𝐸𝐹𝑇𝑛 using Eq. (1) to Eq. (4). Using FIN7 as an example, this group is known for its sophisticated cyberattacks on financial organizations, using tactics such as spear-phishing, network infiltration, and infrastructure acquisition to steal funds or data. Based on the CTI sources, FIN7’s sophistication is advanced, and its resource level is organization-backed, thus, SFIN7 = 0.4, RFIN7 = 0.7 (check Figure 1). The experts in Equifax decided the weight of SFIN7 and RFIN7 are 0.6 and 0.4 respectively. Thus, TCFIN7 is known as 0.4×0.6+0.7×0.4 = 0.52 by Eq. (1). Additionally, FIN7’s primary motivation is financial gain, with a main goal of data theft, particularly targeting payment card data. This Background of Equifax The data breach details Causes of the breach Consequences Equifax is one of the largest credit reporting agencies in U.S. It collects and aggregates information on over 800 million individual consumers and more than 88 million businesses worldwide. The company's primary services include credit reporting and scoring, as well as marketing and fraud prevention services. The data breach exposed the personal information of approximately 147 million consumers. The breach also compromised credit card numbers for about 209,000 U.S. consumers and certain dispute documents containing personal identifying information for approximately 182,000 U.S. consumers. The breach was primarily caused by the vulnerability CVE- 2017-5638 in Apache Struts, a popular open- source software used for building web applications. Equifax failed to patch this known vulnerability in a timely manner. The breach of customer data at Equifax resulted in penalties and settlement fees amounting to $700 million, excess insurance losses of $7.5 million, quarter

Unlocking Success: A Guide to Implementing SLOs for Cloud SRE Translated Title: Unlocking Success: A Guide to Implementing Service Level Objectives (SLOs) for Cloud Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) An Introduction to SLOs for Cloud SRE As cloud-based services become increasingly ubiquitous in our digital landscape, the role of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) has become paramount in ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of these critical systems. At the heart of effective cloud SRE lies the implementation of Service Level Objectives (SLOs), a powerful tool that enables organizations to define, measure, and continuously improve the performance of their cloud-based infrastructure and applications. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the world of SLOs for cloud SRE, exploring their importance, key components, and the steps required to successfully implement them within your organization. By the end of this article, you will have a deep understanding of how SLOs can unlock the path to success in managing your cloud-based environments. The Importance of Implementing SLOs for Cloud SRE In the fast-paced and ever-evolving world of cloud computing, the ability to set and achieve clear performance targets is crucial. SLOs provide a structured framework for defining and measuring the reliability, availability, and overall health of your cloud-based services. By establishing well-defined SLOs, you can: 1. Align Business and Technical Objectives: SLOs bridge the gap between business goals and technical implementation, ensuring that your cloud infrastructure and applications are designed and operated to meet the needs of your stakeholders. 2. Enhance Transparency and Accountability: SLOs provide a transparent and measurable way to communicate the performance of your cloud services, fostering trust and accountability between your organization and your customers or users. 3. Optimize Resource Allocation: By setting and monitoring SLOs, you can identify areas where resources can be optimized, leading to cost savings and improved overall efficiency. 4. Drive Continuous Improvement: SLOs serve as a feedback loop, enabling you to continuously monitor and refine your cloud SRE practices, ensuring that your services are consistently meeting or exceeding the agreed- upon performance targets. Key Components of SLOs for Cloud SRE Effective SLOs for cloud SRE are built upon several key components that work together to create a comprehensive and robust performance management framework. These components include: 1. Service Indicators: These are the specific metrics or measurements that you will use to evaluate the performance of your cloud-based services, such as availability, latency, error rate, or throughput. 2. Service Level Objectives: These are the numerical targets or thresholds that you set for each service indicator, defining the acceptable level of performance for your cloud-based services. 3. Service Level Indicators (SLIs): These are the specific measurements or data points that you will use to track and report on the performance of your cloud-based services in relation to the established SLOs. 4. Alerting and Notification: Mechanisms for proactively monitoring SLO performance and alerting your team when thresholds are approached or exceeded, enabling timely intervention and response. 5. Reporting and Analysis: Tools and processes for collecting, analyzing, and presenting SLO performance data, allowing you to identify trends, root causes, and opportunities for improvement. By understanding and incorporating these key components into your cloud SRE strategy, you can create a robust and effective SLO framework that drives continuous optimization and improvement. Steps to Implement SLOs for Cloud SRE Implementing SLOs for cloud SRE can be a structured and methodical process, and we recommend the following steps to ensure a successful implementation: 1. Define Your Service Indicators: Identify the critical metrics and measu

MEASURING WHAT MATTERS: A refined NCD reporting framework for Indonesia. NCDs extend beyond cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and chronic respiratory disease, the focus of recent policy. Implications for policy: Reporting of NCDs in Indonesia should include a focus on musculoskeletal disorders, poor mental health, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, chronic skin conditions, vision and hearing defects and chronic respiratory conditions as these all contribute to the burden of disease in Indonesia and are, in part, preventable. 1 NCDs occur across all ages, not just in adulthood. Implications for policy: NCDs that emerge in childhood and adolescence provide a particularly important target for intervention as this can improve the health of young people now, their health as adults, and the health of the next generation. 2 4 Current data systems in Indonesia measure some but not all relevant NCDs. Particular gaps exist around some key NCDs, and data for adolescents is particularly lacking. Implications for policy: There is a need to further invest in better objective measures (e.g. improved mental health measures for RISKESDAS, expansion of the cancer registry), and extend data collection to younger age groups (e.g. POSBINDU risk measurement to begin at age 10). Key NCDs vary sub-nationally in Indonesia. Implications for policy: Geographic health inequity across the archipelago requires regular sub-national monitoring to take advantage of unique opportunities for change. 3 Key messages

We perform a comparative analysis of the locations and light-curve (LC) decline rates (m15) of normal and peculiar SNe Ia in the star formation deserts (SFDs) and beyond (Hakobyan+ 2021). There are increasing evidences in observations and simulations that SFD consists of old stars, and the quenching of SF in this region was due to the bar formation, which dynamically removed gas from SFD over a time-scale of ∼2 Gyr (e.g. Donohoe-Keyes+ 2019). Given this, and if the progenitor age is the main driver of the decline rate (e.g. Shen+ 2017), the SNe Ia discovered in the SFDs should have faster declining LCs.

Since game-based learning require much planning and careful design, and also tailoring the learning content to game structures, the uptake of game- based learning activities remains limited, as their construction often requires a significant amount of time, and the reuse capabilities of such activities are min- imal. This paper describes how the different components of a gamified lessons path can be adapted and reused. In order to ensure the reusability of the differ- ent learning paths, a set of minigame templates has been used. Keywords: AT-CC, minigame, reuse, Beaconing. 1 Introduction The shift toward student-centric teaching requires uptake of new methodologies and teaching practices. Gamification and gaming technologies offer opportunities in line with the new demands [1] and can be used in order to achieve “learning at the speed of need through formal, informal and social learning modalities” [2], which is the definition of pervasive learning. “The purpose of adaptation is to optimize the rela- tionship between the learning requirement and course content, hence, the learning outcome could be obtained with minimum time and interaction expended on a course” [3]. However, while the intention of the adaption of a lesson plan towards fitting indi- vidual needs is to increase the learning outcome and as Muhammed et al. write thus to

Lehrstuhl für globales Wirtschaftsrecht, internationale Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit und Bürgerliches Recht (Prof. Dr. Florian Bien) Richterfortbildung: Private Durchsetzung des Beihilferechts 14./15. November 2019 Zum Thema Staatliche Beihilfen an einzelne Unternehmen oder ganze Wirtschaftszweige treten in Form von Sub- ventionen, Steuer- oder Zinsvergünstigungen, Bürgschaften oder ermäßigten Entgelten auf. Sie dro- hen den Wettbewerb zu verzerren. Sieht man von wenigen Ausnahmen ab, sind sie verboten (Art. 108 AEUV). Die Überwachung des Beihilfeverbots obliegt in erster Linie der Europäischen Kommis- sion. Bei ihr sind Beihilfen anzumelden und ihre Entscheidung ist abzuwarten. Darüber hinaus über- prüft die Kommission aus eigener Initiative oder aufgrund von Beschwerden Dritter auch nicht ange- meldete Beihilfen auf ihre Übereinstimmung mit dem EU-Beihilferecht. Gegebenenfalls weist die Kommission den staatlichen Beihilfegeber an, bereits gewährte Vergünstigungen zurückzufordern. Neben diese Form der behördlichen Durchsetzung des Beihilfeverbots treten in letzter Zeit vermehrt private Konkurrentenklagen vor staatlichen Gerichten. Wettbewerber des Beihilfeempfängers kön- nen sich auf die unmittelbare Wirkung von Art. 108 Abs. 3 AEUV berufen und den Beihilfegeber auf Rückforderung rechtswidriger Beihilfen verklagen. Je nachdem, ob die Beihilfe auf Grundlage eines Verwaltungsakts oder eines privatrechtlichen Vertrags gewährt wurde, sind entweder die ordentli- chen Gerichte oder die Verwaltungsgerichte für die Konkurrentenklagen zuständig. Das Programm der Richterschulung vermittelt zunächst die Grundlagen des materiellen Beihilfe- rechts und gewährt dann einen Überblick über die verschiedenen Rechtsschutzmöglichkeiten vor den deutschen ordentlichen und Verwaltungsgerichten. Einen Schwerpunkt bildet sodann die Darstellung und Diskussion des nach wie vor umstrittenen Zusammenspiels zwischen nationalem Gerichtsverfah- ren und parallelen Überprüfungsverfahren vor der Europäischen Kommission, die zudem auch als Amicus curiae vor den nationalen Gerichten auftreten kann. Es ist ausreichend Zeit für Fragen und Diskussionen sowie den kollegialen Austausch von Erfahrungen vorgesehen. Die Referenten sind als hochrangige Richter, Universitätsprofessoren, Behördenmitarbeiter und führende Anwälte anerkannte Experten und Autoren auf dem Gebiet des Beihilferechts und seiner privatrechtlichen Durchsetzung. An der Entwicklung der einschlägigen Rechtsprechung sind oder waren sie unmittelbar beteiligt.

ASPECTOS JURÍDICOS E ECONÔMICOS DE FOMENTO AO TRABALHO FORMAL Luiz Alberto Blanchet* Cristiano Puehler de Queiroz** Resumo: A geração de empregos é obrigação do Estado e da Sociedade, pois acarreta desenvolvimento e gera oportunidades, contribui na erradicação da pobreza. Um dos três principais itens de satisfação humana, junto com Saúde e Convivência em Família, é o Trabalho. Há várias formas de fomento, tais como investimentos em infraestrutura, políticas públicas de qualificação, implementação de salário-mínimo, redução de jornadas, desoneração fiscal das relações de trabalho, programas de incentivo ao empreendedorismo. Palavras-chave: Emprego, Desenvolvimento, Fomento, Atividades, Políticas Públicas, Trabalho 1. Introdução: Fomento, embora denotativamente seja a fricção que gera aquecimento, tornou-se um conceito econômico a significar o impulsionamento, indução, exortação, estímulo ou mesmo a criação de meios para o “aquecimento” de determinada atividade. Fomentar atividade produtiva não é apenas provocar aumento do agronegócio, como alguns projetos governamentais costumam se referir, mais que isto, redunda em direcionar o crescimento da indústria, comércio, turismo, serviços, agronegócio e outros, sob os caminhos mais adequados ao interesse público, à sustentabilidade econômica e, enfim, rumo aos objetivos prioritários.

(2015 ; 2017) et du projet QuaDramA (2016) sur le théâtre allemand 1 2 sont aussi proches de nos questionnements. Ces analyses examinent généralement les principales traditions dramatiques européennes. En raison de l’absence d’un corpus numérique approprié, de telles analyses sont à ce jour impossibles pour le théâtre alsacien, une tradition en dialecte dans laquelle les genres populaires et humoristiques prédominent. Le projet MeThAL vise à créer un grand corpus de théâtre dialectal alsacien encodé selon les recommandations de la Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) et à le valoriser, constituant un premier pas vers une macroanalyse du théâtre alsacien. Nous couvrirons la période 1870-1940, incluant l’âge d’or du théâtre dialectal, autour de la fondation du Théâtre Alsacien de Strasbourg en 1898 (Wackenheim, 1997). Nous travaillons sur un fonds documentaire récemment numérisé par la Bibliothèque Nationale et Universitaire (BNU) de Strasbourg, à savoir, un ensemble représentatif de 3 pièces de théâtre en alsacien, dont nous avons commencé l’océrisation et l’encodage TEI. L’énorme variation orthographique de l’alsacien présente, comme pour toute langue peu dotée, des défis spécifiques en Traitement automatique des langues (TAL). Ces défis soulignent des besoins imparfaitement couverts par les outils d’analyse textuelle existants, orientés prioritairement vers les langues majoritaires. Dans ce sens, le projet élargira les ressources du projet RESTAURE pour les langues régionales de France (Bernhard et al., 4 2019). Le corpus permettra d’aborder des questions en sociolinguistique diachronique de l’Alsace de façon quantitative et d’examiner dans quelle mesure ce corpus permet de documenter les pratiques sociolinguistiques des différentes époques qu’il reflète. L’encodage TEI rendra possible l’analyse d’aspects formels de la technique dramatique et leur progression au cours de l’action, comme le « dynamisme » des pièces selon les changements du nombre de personnages sur scène (Fischer et al., 2017). Nous voulons également examiner de possibles patrons d’interaction entre groupes de personnages selon leur âge, position sociale, sexe ou origine. 1 Projet DLINA : https://dlina.github.io/ 2 Projet QuaDramA : https://quadrama.github.io/index.en 3 Voir https://www.numistral.fr/fr/theatre-alsacien 4 https://restaure.unistra.fr/ 1

To investigate the introduc- tions and spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Mozambique, 1 142 whole genome sequences sam- pled within Mozambique were phylogenetically analyzed against a globally representative set, reflecting the first 25 months of the epidemic. The epidemic in the country was marked by four waves of infection, the first associated with B.1 ancestral lineages, while the Beta, Delta, and Omicron Variants of Concern (VOCs) were responsible for most infections and deaths during the second, third, and fourth waves. Large-scale viral exchanges occurred during the latter three waves and were largely attributed to southern African origins. Not only did the country remain vulnerable to the introductions of new vari- ants but these variants continued to evolve within the borders of the country. Due to the Mozambican health system already under constraint, and paucity of data in Mozambique, there is a need to continue to strengthen and support genomic surveillance in the country as VOCs and Variants of interests (VOIs) are often reported from the southern African region.

COMPETÊNCIAS-CHAVE PARA IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DE BPMS UTILIZANDO PLATAFORMAS LOW-CODE KEY COMPETENCIES FOR IMPLEMENTING BPMS USING LOW-CODE PLATAFORMS DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11372541 1 INTRODUÇÃO O cenário de transformação digital, agravado pela pandemia de COVID-19, tem apresentado às organizações desafios e oportunidades sem precedentes. A necessidade de reavaliar estratégias e modelos de negócios para prosperar em um ambiente digital em constante mudança torna-se cada vez mais evidente (PATEL; MCCARTHY, 2000). Nesse contexto, a digitalização dos processos de negócios e infraestrutura de Tecnologia da Informação (TI) surge como uma necessidade fundamental para otimizar a eficiência e a capacidade de resposta das organizações. O Business Process Management (BPM) emerge como uma abordagem estratégica para impulsionar a eficiência e eficácia dos processos empresariais, com suporte de sistemas como os Business Process Management Systems (BPMS) e as Low-code Development Platforms (LCDP’s). No entanto, a escassez de profissionais altamente qualificados em TI e gestão da informação representa um desafio significativo, agravado pela crescente demanda por talentos nessa área. Este estudo visa investigar as competências técnicas essenciais para implementar BPMS por meio de plataformas low-code, com o objetivo de aprofundar a compreensão desse cenário dinâmico. A questão central que orienta esta pesquisa é: "Quais são as

Poster: The Beauty and the Beast (40 years of process algebra and cybersecurity) 1st Silvia De Francisci SySMA Unit IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca, Italy silvia.defrancisci@imtlucca.it 2nd Gabriele Costa SySMA Unit IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca, Italy gabriele.costa@imtlucca.it 3rd Rocco De Nicola SySMA Unit IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca, Italy rocco.denicola@imtlucca.it Abstract—Process algebras provide the mathematical foun- dation for several formal verification techniques, and they profoundly influenced many fields, from correct design to testing. Process algebras were greatly influential also for the security community. One of the main reasons for their success is their compact, yet expressive and flexible syntax, which allows to model the relevant aspects of computation while abstracting away the secondary ones. Although most authors acknowledge the importance of process algebras for the security community, it is not trivial to estimate how they shaped the past and present researches. The goal of this work is to provide a comprehensive outlook on some prominent works about process algebras and security. These include both the application of process algebras to security problems and process algebras inspired by security-related aspects of computation. To achieve this, we consider three fundamental fields of cybersecurity, i.e., secure development, threat modeling and vulnerability assess- ment. Index Terms—process algebra, cybersecurity, formal meth- ods in security. 1. Introduction Process Algebras (PA) are formal languages com- monly used to model the behavior of a computational agent. Roughly speaking, PA put most of the emphasis on the control flow structure of the modeled agent, rather than on its data flow. In most PA, computational steps also emit observable actions. This allows to elegantly introduce the role of an external observer, i.e., someone who aims at understanding an agent’s behavior, but has no control on its internal structure. Under reasonable assumptions, an attacker is, in fact, an external observer. As a matter of fact, an attacker is generally represented by its capa- bilities and goals. In terms of capabilities, the possibility to partially interact with the agent’s I/O mechanism is a typical setting (e.g., think of information flow [19]). In terms of goals, the attacker’s aim can be modeled as a target state, e.g., denoting a failure of the agent, she wants to reach. Formal models of both the attacker and the system are the fundamental building blocks of most automated, formal reasoning techniques. Not surprisingly, a vast literature about the adoption of PA in cybersecurity exists. As a result, determining the overall influence of PA in cybersecurity and its sub-fields is difficult. This poster proposes a systematization of the existing PA and their applications to the cybersecurity fields. Our contributions are the following.1 • We show significant PA from a genealogy stand- point, as well as their unique characteristics. • We discuss the impact of some PA and its ge- nealogy in three application scenarios for cyberse- curity classification: Secure Development, Threat modeling, and Vulnerability assessment. • We show the state-of-the-art of PA for secure Development Life Cycle (DLC). 2. Genealogy of PA The genesis of PA goes back to the 80s, when a few authors independently proposed different calculi for the specification of processes: Milner’s Calculus of Communicating Systems (CCS) [16], Brookes, Hoare and Roscoe’s Communicating Seqential Processes (CSP) [8], and Bergstra’s Algebra of Communicating Processes (ACP) [6], which inspired a considerable number of other PA. Typically, derived PA introduce some new elements w.r.t. their archetypes. These elements often aim to model some specific aspects of computation. In order to better highlight these extensions we label PA with icons de- noting their peculiar features. Such features include the ability to model security asp


Ruins, archaeology and the postcolonial archive Iain Chambers … there exists no historical community that has not been born out of a relation that can, without hesitation, best be likened to war. What we celebrate under the title of founding events are, essentially, acts of violence legitimated after the fact by a precarious state of right. Ricœur (2006:79) For, contrary to what one might think at first sight, the breaking of tradition does not at all mean the loss or devaluation of the past: it is rather likely that only now the past can reveal itself with a weight and an influence it never had before. Agamben (1994: 162) If battlefields, war cemeteries, monuments, mausoleums and museums are physically the most obvious symbolic sites of a conflict heritage, there is also the altogether more insidious evidence that can be traced in wider, non-European, landscapes that have been riven and racialised by conflicts over the interpretation and representation of the past. The subordination of others to a particular telling of time and place, often through the deployment of racialising categories of power and value, where as Fanon reminds us in Black Skin, White Masks, to be ‘black’ is already to be marked as the subordinated, introduces the centrality of European colonialism and imperialism to the making of modernity. This is to open up the past, its archives, monuments and processes of museumification, to novel and frequently unauthorised questions. Here, for example, certain postcolonial artistic practices and works provide and provoke a transversal passage over this terrain. To nominate a racialised space is precisely to cast considerations beyond provincial European conflict and its aftermath. To introduce race into the landscapes, memory and archives of the past, is insist on the colonial fashioning of the modern world. Behind the European strife of the Twentieth century, shaped and shattered by world wars and genocide, lie the longer and deeper history of European colonialism and its imperialist apotheosis in the violent bio-politics of racist profiling and the governance of the non-European world

ISBN-13: 9781910820889 'Kudos to Jose Carregal for gathering the scattered pieces of LGBT representation in Irish literature from the 1970s and producing an intelligent and insightful analysis. Queer Whispers is a long overdue and crucial study.' - Emma Donoghue Description of book: Before gay decriminalisation in 1993, there was no solid gay or lesbian tradition in Irish writing, due to the political and cultural dominance of a conservative, censorious Catholic ideology that conflated itself with notions of national identity and social respectability. Praised today as a beacon of gay rights, Ireland has become the first nation to legalise same-sex marriage by popular vote in 2015.

Quality Improvement Projects Dr Saba Khan Institute of Medical and Biomedical Education (IMBE) St George’s, University of London Abstract The QIPs are a concept that have been developed to promote leadership and clinical improvement skills in student learners. The concept of transformational change and its three key theoretical stages are mirrored in Quality Improvement Projects (QIPs). These changes (psychological, Convictional and Behavioural) are integral to developing a learner’s skills in practice which will better prepare them for their professional career. On reflection there are challenges associated with QIPs that relate to clinical maturity, implementation of change and the time needed to effectively deliver QIPs. However, on balance these projects present a unique learning opportunity that will present students with the ability to demonstrate and develop skills that are difficult to practically apply anywhere else. The application of these projects in primary care also prepare students for the professional responsibility of appraisal and revalidation regardless of their speciality of choice. Keywords Transformational Change; Quality Improvement; Leadership Reflection The poster was developed to illustrate the concept of Quality Improvement in Practice as part of an educational activity that students can engage in, across both primary and secondary care. In Primary Care the concept of Quality Improvement forms part of the foundation for appraisal and revalidation processes. This concept of developing existing improvement activity to formal QIPs is a natural educational progression for students already engaged in research projects

The Basin-wide environmental watering strategy lists improvements in distribution, abundances, population structure and move- ment as expected outcomes for fish (MDBA 2014). In order to appropriately design environmental watering programs to benefit native fish, it is vital that the links between key watering parameters and potential fish responses are clearly understood. This requires an understanding of the biotic processes that maintain fish populations, the key drivers of these processes and the how these are influenced by flow. Research outcomes will assist manag- ers by providing significantly improved predictive and explanatory capacity across a range of species. Research questions The overarching question in relation to the MDB EWKR Fish Theme is: What are the drivers of sustainable populations and diverse communities of native fish? This is the key question that underpins the fish theme and it seeks to explore the key functional pro- cesses that drive outcomes for native fish populations and communities, as well as the situations under which each of these processes become limiting. The Fish theme will focus on fish recruitment, with research addressing the relative importance of key drivers and their interaction with flow and other variables at multiple spatial scales. The decision to focus on recruitment was based on early consultation with managers who considered recruitment to be the highest priority area. The high level questions for recruitment are:  What flow regimes best support the recruitment and survival of native fish populations? How significant are the individual drivers? How do key drivers interact to influence outcomes? How should flows be managed to enhance drivers and thereby the fish response?  How do threats impact on the drivers and recruitment and survival outcomes? We define recruitment as the process of survival to the end of the first year of life. Australian Smelt Fact Sheet


Page | 1 Using ensemble learning and interpretable machine learning to assess flash flood susceptibility - A GIS-based Watershed Similarity Analysis Zheng Guan*1,2, Xiaoxiang Zhang†1,2 and Jing Yao‡3,4 1 College of Hydrology and Water Resources, Hohai University, Nanjing, China 2 Center for Geospatial Intelligence and Watershed Science (CGIWaS), Hohai University, Nanjing, China 3 Urban Big Data Centre, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK 4 Centre for Sustainable Healthy and Learning Cities and Neighbourhoods, School of Social and Political Sciences, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK GISRUK 2023 Summary This research aims to assess flash flood susceptibility, to identify watersheds with similar susceptibility risks, and to analyse the contribution of conditioning factors in Jiangxi Province, China, using four tree- based ensemble learning approaches and an interpretation tool (SHAP). Results show that flash flood susceptibility areas in Jiangxi Province are scattered and the ensembles can efficiently perform flash flood susceptibility mapping. A comprehensive assessment of flash flood susceptibility will provide direction for flood prevention and mitigation, as well as obtaining the factors that have the greatest impact on flash floods in order to prevent them in terms of their formation mechanisms. KEYWORDS: Flash flood susceptibility; Tree-based Ensemble Learning; Machine Learning; GIS; SHAP 1. Introduction Flash floods are one of the most serious flood hazards, inducing serious loss of life around the world, while damaging infrastructure and having a financial impact (Diakakis et al., 2020; Gaume et al., 2009). In order to mitigate the damage and loss, it is necessary to estimate and predict the susceptibility of flash floods through conditioning factors. Flash flood susceptibility refers to predicting “which watershed (where)” flash floods will occur, or “how frequently” it will take place, regardless of the size of hazards e.g., area or scale (Reichenbach et al., 2018). Traditional GIS-based spatial analysis methods had been widely used for flash flood susceptibility analysis (Rahmati et al., 2015; Youssef et al., 2015). With the continuous development of novel technologies in hydrology, various machine learning methods (GeoAI) have been used in the field of hydrological analysis and modeling (Bui et al., 2020; Fang et al., 2021). Compared to previous approaches, machine learning has a significant improve in terms of algorithmic robustness, accuracy, effectiveness, and speed (Khosravi et al., 2019; Costache et al., 2020). Moreover, the effectiveness of a single model can be improved by data analysis, algorithm integration and model optimization. Based on machine learning, scholars further propose ensemble learning methods (Choubin et al., 2019), which have better adaptability and higher prediction accuracy than single algorithms (Costache et al., 2020). However, there is no consensus on the best tree-based ensemble machine learning approach for flash flood susceptibility mapping, more research is still needed.

— 767 773 Celebration & Contemplation, 10th International Conference on Design & Emotion 27 — 30 September 2016, Amsterdam Introduction Some time ago, I co-incidentally happened to take part in a Tibetan singing bowl1 session. For the first time, I was not hearing music with my ears only, but was experiencing it as a vibration throughout my entire body. This outstanding experience left a deep impression on me. It made me wonder about how frequencies resonate with the body and it had become the starting point of my graduation project in fashion design. I tried to imagine for one moment: if I could see sound, what shape and colour would it then be? In this writing, I will first elaborate on what sound actually is, on how it relates to colour and to the human body. This will form the core of the concept and will then be translated into ingredients for an interactive womenswear collection “Beings of Frequency”, further referred as The Collection. The shape of sound Sound vibration is so subtle, that it cannot be perceived by the human eyes. However, it is a delicate, perfect balance between frequencies that keeps us alive and forms the basis of all the natural cycles that we see around us. There is a common misconception of what sound really is. It is believed, that sound is a wave and it ‘wiggles’ through the air from one point to the other just like that. Sound researcher, Professor John Stuart Reid (2009), has done deep studies in the shape of sound and states that sound can rather be described as a rapidly expanding bubble, having the ‘sonic event’ in the middle of it (for example from vibrating vocal cords of a human). Starting at that core, different densities of air are created by vibration and travel in all directions at the same time creating a sphere-like shape. Sound can only be made visible to the human eye when exposed to matter. The act of making sound visible is called Cymatics2. Every sound creates a unique geometrical structure in air densities from the core outwards, looking very much like a mandala3 if you would slice the sonic bubble in half (Figure 1). Reid has developed a special scientific device, called the CymaScope. With help of a digital camera, the patterns are captured that appear in ultra-pure water that is exposed to sound vibrations. This sound visualization is called a Cyma Glyph and is used as the aesthetic base of The Collection and is interpreted and applied in the clothing in various ways and scales (Figure 2-6). Abstract “Beings of Fequency” is a bachelor graduation project, currently being developed in the form of a collection in fashion design. In the collection, parallels are being laid between the seven musical notes, the seven colours of the rainbow and the the seven main energy centers of the human body, the so called chakra’s. Before seeing the collection, each visitor will get the chance to scan their chakra status via a GDV scan developed by Dr. Korotkov, PhD and according to that, a sound will be designed containing mainly the notes that are ought to resonate with their “weaker” chakras. While the music is playing, by use of incorporated micro-processors, mini-microphones and coloured LEDs, the collection will give the viewer a real-time sound & light therapy which is believed to charge the energy of the corresponding chakra’s; operating as a resonant, interactive mechanism. The collection consists out of seven outfits, each representing one of the chakras. Keywords Fashion, Chakra, Colour, Sound, Interaction Beings of frequency.

IDCC24 | Poster 1 | Satellite Image Use for Citizen-Based Monitoring & Verification: An Examination of Trust & Risk Abstract Satellite imagery is used for citizen-based monitoring and societal verification in the context of nuclear non-proliferation and arms control agreements by an expanding community of analysts (e.g., Al-Sayed, 2022; Mian et al., 2017; Niemeyer, 2009). The use of satellite images by non-state actors in order to examine the development of, for example, weapons facilities has been facilitated by the increasing availability of satellite data from a variety of sources (e.g., “Trainspotting, with Nukes; Open-Source Intelligence,” 2021). This type of monitoring can be applied to a broad range of activities, including carbon emissions, human rights, disaster response, and archaeology (e.g., Casana & Laugier, 2017; Couture, 2020; Dekker et al., 2022; Farfour, 2019; Parcak, 2019). This poster will report on the preliminary results of a qualitative study consisting of in- depth semi-structured interviews with data users (i.e., analysts and researchers) who use satellite images for citizen-based monitoring and societal verification activities. During interviews, participants were asked to discuss their use of satellite imagery, including topics such as search and discovery, access, data sharing and reuse, and open data. They were also asked to reflect on how they evaluate the trustworthiness of data and how they construct their understanding of risk in the context of satellite image use for monitoring and verification activities. Interviews were recorded and transcribed for analysis. This poster explores the following research questions: 1. How do analysts who use satellite imagery for citizen-based monitoring and societal verification activities evaluate the trustworthiness of their data? 2. How do those analysts construct their understanding of risk in the context of citizen-based monitoring and societal verification activities using satellite imagery? Preliminary findings suggest that users of satellite imagery build relationships with data providers, and make evaluations of trustworthiness on the basis of those ongoing relationships—with both commercial and open access data providers.

1 Emotion Loop: From Empathy to Sympathy – a sustainable social design strategy for Organ Donation in Hong Kong. Bruce Wan - School of Design, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Hom, Hong Kong, (852) 3400 8264, sdbruce@polyu.edu.hk Abstract The Shortage of Donors for Organ Transplant is severe in Hong Kong. This paper envisions a potential resolution of this critical issue by implementing a sustainable social design strategy based on human affects of empathy and sympathy. As a matter-of-fact, many studies have been done on measuring attitudes and commitment to organ donation while other studies focused on the promotion of the organ donor card. Those surveys pointed out a discrepancy between positive attitude and low commitment rate to donation. This paper is to make a case for a new Organ Donation scheme which embraces emotional, functional and spiritual needs of both patients and potential donors. The scheme involves collaborative networks and interpersonal channels of communication. It results in a viral marketing strategy which involves empathy and sympathy as stimuli of the altruistic behaviors. Conference theme: Values and Culture Keywords: Altruism, Empathy, Organ donation, Societal design strategy, Sympathy, Viral marketing


Exploring the Restorative Properties of Urban and Nature Settings Using Virtual Reality Deltcho Valtchanov* Colin Ellard** * University of Waterloo Waterloo, Canada, dvaltcha@uwaterloo.ca ** University of Waterloo Waterloo, Canada, cellard@uwaterloo.ca Abstract: In this paper we present an empirical study that provides strong evidence suggesting that the restorative properties of nature settings seen in the real-world also exist within virtual reality. Participants were induced with stress and were then randomly assigned to explore one of three virtual environments for ten minutes. The three environments included a tropical island, a virtual recreation of Shibuya from Tokyo Japan, and an abstract geometric environment. Physiological and self-report measures of emotional state and stress were taken at baseline, pre-virtual reality, and post-virtual reality. Results suggest that virtual nature promotes improvement in emotional state and reductions in stress, and that virtual reality is an effective tool for exploring psychological and physiological responses to architectural design in a lab setting. Key words: restorative effects, virtual reality, effects of nature, urban environments, exposure to nature 1. Introduction Restorative effects of exposure to nature, defined as a reduction in cognitive fatigue, decrease in stress, and improvement of emotional state [1,2], have been of interest to both psychologists and architects. Researchers have found that surrounding oneself with real nature can have positive effects on emotional and cognitive states. Recent research by Berman, Jonides and Kaplan [3] comparing the effects of interacting with natural versus urban environments has found that individuals performed better on a working memory task after taking a walk in a local park versus taking a walk in a local downtown area. Furthermore, Berman et al. have also found that individuals’ executive attention (as measured by the Attention Network Task) improved after viewing pictures of nature when compared to individuals who viewed pictures of urban areas [3] to further suggest that simply viewing nature can have restorative effects. Other studies by Ulrich et al. [4] have also found converging evidence that even surrogate nature (such as photographs and videos) can prompt significant improvements in physiological stress (shown by reductions in skin-conductance level) and emotional states (shown through self-report on the Zuckerman Inventory of Personal Reactions) of individuals. Much of the research in psychology and design has focused exploring how the restorative properties of nature may be utilized to improve overall quality of life and well-being. Some applications include making cityscapes more pleasant and appealing to individuals by adding trees [6] while others include improving workplace satisfaction by providing views of natural scenery within office spaces (i.e., by adding windows) [6]. With research suggesting that environments can be made restorative and more pleasant with the addition of nature, recent research by Valtchanov, Barton and Ellard made the leap from real-world experiments to

Besides the economic, social and environmental benefits for end-users and society, their implementation on the electricity distribution network entails technical impacts which still need to be correctly understood.. In this work, we quantify these impacts on a community established on a LV domestic network subject to a European grid tariff structure, in which local generation surplus are shared among members. We first develop a collaborative demand- side management model to compute operational technical indices, such as community peak-to-average ratio, line losses, etc. We then develop an investment model to analyse the impact of communities on PV adoption in LV grids. We compare results with a benchmark in which members consume and invest individually. We show that community operation tends to reduce peak power and overall exchanges at the MV/LV substation, as well as overall line losses. The PV investment model proves that a community organization tends to favour the installation of more PV generation while controlling grid impacts, provided that a constraint on the SCR is imposed in the sizing model. INTRODUCTION Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) consist in organized entities gathering consumers and prosumers who are allowed to exchange energy locally, without resorting to the traditional wholesale/retail market structure. Promoted by the European Union (EU) in Directive 2018/2001 [1], they aim at fostering local private investment in renewable energy production, by placing the citizen at the centre of the electricity supply chain, and at mobilizing flexibility available in Low Voltage (LV) and Medium Voltage (MV) networks. The Directive is since being transposed into decrees and laws in the member states, so that more and more pilot projects and actual communities are currently emerging.(see e.g. [2], [3] for examples in Wallonia and Brussels respectively). Citizens are interested in RECs since they can reap financial, ecological and social benefits through the mutualization of resources and the joint investment in Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). However, the massive roll-out of RECs on the electricity distribution grids entails impacts of various natures, i.e. technical, economical, regulatory as well as legal, which still need to be correctly quantified. RECs have been intensively investigated in the literature, given the variety in terms of possible internal market designs. Short-term (operational) and long-term (investment and sizing of energy assets) economic impacts for REC members have been more particularly studied: authors in [4] investigated for instance energy bill savings, at the individual and community levels, brought by the REC. In another study [5], the added value of REC for investments in distributed generation has been quantified. Environmental concerns are often another major issue for energy community members: the influence of RECs operation on CO2 emissions is for example reported in [6]. Finally, the technical impacts that RECs may have on distribution grids has also attracted attention. In [7], grid indices (over- and undervoltage, line loading, etc.) are computed for a REC including photovoltaic and battery storage . However


Hyperon Physics at BESIII Yunlong Xiao Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, People’s Republic of China, Key Laboratory of Nuclear Physics and Ion-beam Application (MOE) and Institute of Modern Physics, Fudan University, Shanghai 200443, People’s Republic of China On behalf of the BESIII collaboration 17-21 July 2023 Abstract The quantum entangled hyperon and anti-hyperon pairs from J/ψ and ψ(3686) events taken by the BESIII detector are used to study the fundamental CP sym- metry via the non-leptonic two-body weak decays. All decay parameters can be determined simultaneously due to the non-zero relative phases of the form factors ∆Φ. By comparing the decay parameters of hyperon and anti-hyperon, precise tests of direct CP violation can be performed. The results of CP asymmetry for hyperon are consistent with CP conservation and are agreement with the standard model prediction within the current uncertainties. CC-BY-4.0 licence

Towards high-bandwidth computer-human understanding: Cognitive chunking theory and micro- behavioural signals. Peter C-H. Cheng[0000-0002-0355-5955] Department of Informatics, University of Sussex, Brighton, BN1 9QJ, UK Abstract. Chunking theory from cognitive science provides a basis for analyzing micro-behaviours in human performance in order to build models of individuals’ understanding of domain content that are richer than those available from current methods used for human-machine communication in AI systems. Keywords: Human-machine communication, user models, knowledge struc- ture, chunking theory, micro-behavioural signals, pause analysis. Introduction. How can we build artificial intelligent agents that can teach, support and collaborate with humans at human-like levels? To possess such abilities an AI agent must be able to rapidly model what a human knows about the task that they are sharing. Such models must be specific to each human, so that an agent’s interaction is personally relevant to the individual. Further, the AI agent should continuously update the model, because cognitively we are first and foremost organisms that adapt and learn. Without such models humans will perceive agents as rigid, uncooperative or simple-minded. Human teachers and coaches set the standard. They quickly gauge learners’ competence and rapidly assess their knowledge by exploiting myriad subtle be- havioural signals beyond the overt content of verbal responses. Unfortunately, the information that current AI systems use to construct user models are rela- tively low-bandwidth; for instance, where AI tutors record keystrokes the data is subsequently aggregated so analysis is typically rather coarse grained. Cognitive science theory. AI agents may be imbued with the critical ability to rapidly and accurately model individual human competency and knowledge by exploiting ideas from cognitive science. We focus upon chunking theory, a long-established and empirically well-supported theory [1, 2, 3]. According to the theory humans process information as chunks, which are strongly associ- ated clusters of concepts. During learning we build hierarchies of chunks in memory. The size of chunks grows with expertise. When we engage in any knowledge-based task we mentally traverse our specific hierarchy for that task. But, significantly, our central executive is essentially a serial processor, so the
