Les résultats montrent que, sauf pour le critère 3 du Principe 2 qui obtient un score acceptable de 3,75, tous les autres critères affichent des scores inférieurs au seuil acceptable de 3, indiquant une gestion RSE insatisfaisante. Hua Jia ne parvient pas à garantir un accès équitable aux ressources et aux bénéfices économiques, à assurer la participation des parties prenantes, et à maintenir la santé, la vitalité culturelle et la qualité sanitaire des forêts. Ces déficiences révèlent une gestion inadéquate de la RSE vis-à-vis des populations locales. Cette étude souligne l'importance des évaluations rigoureuses des pratiques de RSE pour identifier les domaines nécessitant des améliorations et inciter les entreprises forestières à adopter des pratiques managériales plus responsables et durables. Il est recommandé à ces derniers de renforcer leur engagement envers le bien-être des populations locales en respectant leurs obligations de RSE.

Abstract This article evaluates the social responsibility of the Hua Jia forestry company in the Komo-Kango forest using CIFOR social criteria and indicators. The results show that, except for criterion 3 of Principle 2 which obtains an acceptable score of 3.75, all other criteria show scores below the acceptable threshold of 3, indicating unsatisfactory CSR management. Hua Jia fails to ensure equitable access to resources and economic benefits, ensure stakeholder participation, and maintain the health, cultural vitality and sanitary quality of forests. These deficiencies reveal inadequate management of CSR towards local populations. This study highlights the importance of rigorous assessments of CSR practices to identify areas requiring improvement and encourage forestry companies to adopt more responsible and sustainable managerial practices. They are recommended to strengthen their commitment to the well-being of local populations by respecting their CSR obligations..

Assessing Undergraduate Instructors' Knowledge and Attitudes Towards Preprints Madeleine Rostad¹, Rebeccah Lijek², Gary McDowell³, Jessica Polka⁴* ¹ Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Richmond, Richmond, VA 23173, USA ² Mount Holyoke College, MA, USA ³ Lightoller LLC, IL, USA ⁴ ASAPbio, MA, USA For correspondence: jessica.polka@asapbio.org Preprints, or preliminary versions of scientific papers posted online before formal peer review, have become an important component of scholarly communication workflow in many disciplines. Preprints hold potential for stimulating critical thinking in students. The objective of this research project was to assess undergraduate instructors' knowledge and attitudes surrounding preprints in order to determine how receptive they would be to incorporating this resource into their teaching. To this end, we designed a survey to gather data on instructors' familiarity with preprints, their comfort level in integrating them into teaching, and their desire to utilize preprints in the classroom. The survey was distributed to 123 instructors at the University of Richmond (U of R), 46 of whom completed it. Participants were asked to respond to Likert-scale questions and provide insight into their experiences with using published journal articles, preprints, and peer review in their teaching. We observed that all instructors were comfortable with teaching students about how the peer review process works and the majority were comfortable with incorporating published journal articles into their teaching. Nevertheless, we found that instructors were much less comfortable with incorporating preprints into their teaching and most answered that they had never before used preprints in the classroom. When asked what would motivate them to integrate preprints into their teaching, instructors responded that they were most motivated by strengthening students’ critical thinking skills. The majority saw “difficulty finding relevant preprints” to be the largest barrier to using preprints in the classroom. Though instructors were largely unfamiliar with using preprints in educational settings, those most receptive to using them indicated that they would like to receive more resources to help them incorporate preprints into their teaching. Providing instructors with access to curated resources, lesson plans, and rubrics could help address barriers to using preprints in the classroom and create an environment conducive to embracing preprints as valuable teaching tools.


Home / Products / Single Strain Probiotics Bifidobacterium Strains Bifidobacterium is a genus of gram-positive, nonmotile, often branched anaerobic bacteria. They are one of the major genera of bacteria that make up the gastrointestinal tract, vagina, and mouth microbiota in mammals. Some Bifidobacterium strains are considered as important probiotics and used in the food industry. Lactobacillus Strains Lactobacilli are non-spore-forming, gram-positive rods. They are an essential part of the normal human bacterial flora commonly found in the mouth, gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and female genitourinary tract. Lactobacillus is the most common probiotic found in food such as yogurt, and it is diverse in its application to maintain human well-being. Lactococcus Strains Lactococcus is a genus of gram-positive, catalase-negative, nonmotile lactic acid cocci that are found singly, in pairs, or in chains. They belong to the genus Streptococcus Group N1. These organisms are commonly used in the dairy industry in the manufacture of fermented dairy products such as cheeses. Streptococcus Strains Streptococcus is a genus of nonmotile, microaerophilic, gram-positive spherical bacteria that belongs to the family Streptococcaceae. They tend to form pairs or chains that may appear bent or twisted. Although Streptococci can be potent pathogens, some species are commercially important for the production of cheese and yogurt. Bacillus Strains The genus Bacillus is a heterogeneous collection of gram-positive or gram-variable spore-forming, aerobic or facultative anaerobic bacteria. For their wide range of physiologic characteristics and ability to produce a multitude of secretory proteins, enzymes, antimicrobial compounds, Bacillus species are used in many industrial processes. Saccharomyces Strains Saccharomyces is a genus of fungi that includes many species of yeasts. It is a common symbiotic yeast that inhabits the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, and the vaginal mucosa and can only infect the host under specific conditions. Many members of Saccharomyces are considered very important in food production. Privacy - Terms Single Strain Probiotics  HOME PRODUCTS SERVICES RESOURCE COMPANY ONLINE ORDER

PALEONTOLOGÍA GENERAL


A critical decision in diagnostic assay development is the source of controls and/or calibrator materials and their standardization. Calibrators are used to generate standard curves to quantify test antibody concentrations in patient serum, or as positive controls to evaluate assay and reagent performance. The classical choice for controls and calibrators is seropositive serum or plasma. However, there are known drawbacks to using sera or plasma for standardized assays, making recombinant chimeric/humanized antibodies a more reliable alternative to serum-based calibrators. The chimeric/humanized antibodies consist of the human constant region of the heavy chain, the mouse variable region of the heavy chain, and the mouse light chain. The human constant region of the heavy chain can be directly recognized by the anti-human conjugate used in numerous in vitro diagnostic assays. Creative Diagnostics now offers a full set of humanized monoclonal antibodies (IgM, IgG, IgE or IgA) as calibrators, positives, or quality controls for assay development and diagnostic kit manufacturing to life science researchers worldwide. Applications range from allergy, auto-immunity to infectious diseases.

У детей, родившихся от женщин с истинно переношенной беременностью, отмечается высокая частота заболеваний органов дыхания, аллергические дерматиты, патология ЦНС. Ключевые слова переношенные дети, перинатальное поражение, лечение, профилактика. Актуальность: В настоящее время считается, что онтогенетический процесс у детей находится в тесной взаимосвязи с особенностями внутриутробного развития, своевременности родов и состояния новорожденного при рождении. Согласно принятым рекомендациям Международной ассоциации акушеров-гинекологов (FIGO) и Американского общества акушеров-гинекологов (ACOG), беременность сроком в 42 недели и более определяется как переношенная[1,3,5]. В практике отечественного здравоохранения переношенной считается беременность сроком более 287 дней, когда у плода имеются признаки биологической перезрелости; беременность сроком более 287 дней, протекающая без осложнений и заканчивающаяся рождением здорового ребѐнка без признаков переношенной, считается физиологическим состоянием, направленным на донашивание плода. Необходимо отметить, что «... специалисты Королевского общества акушеров и гинекологов при диагностике переношенной беременности учитывают не состояние родившегося ребенка, а достижение гестационного возраста в 41 неделю. Количество переношенных беременностей колеблется в странах Европы в диапазоне от 0,4% (Австрия и Бельгия) до 5,5–7,0% (Дания и Швеция) и Америки. В России этот показатель находится в пределах 1,4–16,0% ...»[2,6,7]. Несмотря на то, что связь развития переношенной беременности с экологическими факторами окружающей

Pisano Department of Astronomy, University of Cape Town, South Africa Contact: aychasam@gmail.com New Eyes on the Zone of Avoidance: what can MeerKAT tell us about the hidden core of the Vela Supercluster? ABSTRACT The Zone of Avoidance (ZOA) partially obscures numerous dynamically important structures in the nearby Universe. Among these structures is the Vela supercluster (VSCL), a massive supercluster recently discovered to extend across the Galactic Plane in the constellation of Vela at cz ~ 18000 km s-1; ~260 h70 Mpc [1]. To trace its walls and inner core, we analyzed HI data from the Galactic Plane Legacy Survey (Vela-SMGPS; |b| < 2º) between 260º < l < 290º, complemented by the full VSCL survey (Vela-HI, |b| < 7º, 262º < l < 284º), both using MeerKAT 64 L-band and 4K correlator out to cz < 25500 km s-1 (z < 0.085). This is the first time such large systematic interferometric observations have been performed across the thickest layer of the Milky Way.

MENORES EXTRANJEROS NO ACOMPAÑADOS Hemos decidido elegir este tema para dar visibilidad a los menores extranjeros no acompañados y que su situación sea conocida por más personas para que de esta manera podamos reducir las discriminaciones y estereotipos que tan arraigados están en la sociedad y así conseguir ofrecerles una segunda oportunidad y una vida digna. El término “MENAS” hace referencia a los Menores Extranjeros No Acompañados y engloba a todos los jóvenes menores de edad que llegan a un país sin la compañía de sus padres o algún adulto. Esto es un tema de gran preocupación debido a que estamos hablando de menores que no tienen los recursos suficientes para sobrevivir en una cultura completamente nueva. Los MENAS suelen ser personas que emigran de su país en busca de mejores oportunidades que las que se les ofrece en su propio país. Esto se debe a las continuas guerras, hambruna, pobreza y condiciones infames que sufren. Muchos de ellos viven completas odiseas para poder llegar al nuevo país. Desgraciadamente muchos de ellos mueren en el intento y los que llegan se encuentran en una situación completamente vulnerable y sin protección. Además se enfrentan a una gran cantidad de estereotipos y prejuicios por parte de la población local lo que les lleva a tener una gran desventaja en cuanto a oportunidades. El país receptor es el encargado de dar protección a estos menores lo que conlleva grandes problemas logísticos para el país receptor ya que cada vez son más los MENAS que llegan al país. Esto lleva a grandes desafíos políticos y sociales. Es de vital importancia abogar por la integración de estos menores en nuestra sociedad para que puedan optar por vivir una segunda vida con mejores condiciones que las que viven en su país de nacimiento. Este tema debemos afrontarlo desde la educación en los cursos más bajos como la primaria. De esta forma, los niños crecerán con una visión más empática de los inmigrantes y no tendrán prejuicios acerca de estos. De esta forma podremos crear una sociedad intercultural en la que las diferentes culturas se enriquezcan unas a otras y se produzca una retroalimentación a partir del diálogo y la colaboración mutua. Para ello, debemos educar a los niños a partir de la diversidad y centrarnos en mostrarles las similitudes que tiene nuestra cultura con el resto en vez de hacer énfasis en lo que nos diferencia. Según el Boletín Oficial del Principado de Asturias (BOPA), este tema podría relacionarse a la asignatura de Educación en Valores Cívicos y Éticos a partir de los siguientes saberes básicos: ● El pensamiento crítico y ético. ● La naturaleza humana y la identidad personal. Igualdad y diferencia entre las personas. ● El propio proyecto personal: la diversidad de valores, fines y modelos de vida.

1 CERTIFICAÇÃO FAIR TRADE OU COMÉRCIO JUSTO: SERIA UM SISTEMA ALTERNATIVO DE TROCAS COMERCIAIS PARA A AGRICULTURA FAMILIAR? João de Paula Martins Neto1 Michely Correia Diniz2 DOI 10.5281/zenodo.14496940 1. Introdução De acordo com o Censo Agropecuário 2017-2018, conduzido pelo IBGE (IBGE, 2017), 77% dos estabelecimentos agrícolas são classificados como agricultura familiar, abrangendo cerca de 80 milhões de hectares e empregando mais de 10 milhões de pessoas, que representava, à época, a renda de 40% da população economicamente ativa, e sendo responsável por mais de 70% dos alimentos que chegam à mesa dos brasileiros (BRASIL, 2024). Apesar de toda essa pujança a agricultura familiar ainda enfrenta grandes desafios relacionados às transações comerciais, sendo subjugada pelo atual modelo econômico fortemente influenciado pelas forças do mercado. A busca por métodos alternativos para promover o crescimento econômico de mercados sustentáveis tem sido uma constante, especialmente levando em conta que os territórios onde a agricultura familiar se estabeleceu têm pouco se beneficiado de políticas governamentais que assegurem uma participação significativa neste segmento do agronegócio brasileiro. No Brasil, em 2001, surge um movimento conhecido como Fair Trade ou Comércio Justo (CJ) que, conforme leciona De Oliveira et al. (2008, p. 211), o elo consumidor "concede" um "Premium" e oferece melhores condições comerciais ao elo produtor, com o objetivo de proporcionar um padrão de vida mais adequado, desde que os produtores atendam a um conjunto específico de regras relacionadas à produção e a alguns aspectos socioambientais.

7/20/2021 Red Giant Seismology https://christopher-lindsay.github.io/Lindsay_TSC2/ 1/9 RED GIANT SEISMOLOGY: SEISMIC SIGNATURES OF CONVECTIVE OVERSHOOT CHRISTOPHER J. LINDSAY , J. M. JOEL ONG , SARBANI BASU 1. YALE UNIVERSITY, DEPARTMENT OF ASTRONOMY Poster presented at TESS science conference 2 pdf version of this poster available here ABSTRACT Most red giant models do not reproduce the position of the observed luminosity bump, a diagnostic of the maximum extension of the convective envelope during the {rst- dredge up. (see {gure 1 based on Khan et al. 2014) Global seismic parameters, the large frequency separation and frequency of maximum oscillation, show that overshoot below the convective envelope helps match red giant model luminosity bump positions to observed bump positions. The global seismic properties, however, cannot be used to probe envelope overshoot in a star-by-star manner. The long time series of Kepler and the TESS continuous viewing zones (CVZ) allow us to determine the individual mode frequencies of many red giants and these individual modes allow us to probe the internal structure of the stars. Red giant mixed modes (modes that are p-like (i.e., acoustic modes) at the surface and g-like (i.e., gravity modes) in the core) contain important information about the interior structure of the star. We present the results of a theoretical study to investigate the seismic signature of convective overshoot in red giants. Our intention is to use these signatures to determine the amount of overshoot needed to model observed frequencies in red giants that have high quality seismic data. 1 1 1

Poster: RANDGENER: Distributed Randomness Beacon from Verifiable Delay Function Arup Mondal Ashoka University Sonipat, Haryana, India arup.mondal phd19@ashoka.edu.in Ruthu Hulikal Rooparaghunath Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands r.rooparaghunath@student.vu.nl Debayan Gupta Ashoka University Sonipat, Haryana, India debayan.gupta@ashoka.edu.in Abstract—Buoyed by the excitement around secure decen- tralized applications, the last few decades have seen numerous constructions of distributed randomness beacons (DRB) along with use cases; however, a secure DRB (in many variations) remains an open problem. We further note that it is natural to want some kind of reward for participants who spend time and energy evaluating the randomness beacon value – this is already common in distributed protocols. In this work, we present RANDGENER, a novel n-party commit- reveal-recover (or collaborative) DRB protocol with a novel reward and penalty mechanism along with a set of realistic guarantees. We design our protocol using trapdoor watermarkable verifiable delay functions in the RSA group setting (without requiring a trusted dealer or distributed key generation). Index Terms—Randomness Beacon, Verifiable Delay Function. I. INTRODUCTION A randomness beacon [1] is an ideal functionality that continuously publishes independent random values which no party can predict or manipulate; critically, this value must be efficiently verifiable by anyone. A Distributed Randomness Beacon (DRB) protocol allows a set of participants to jointly compute a continuous stream of randomness beacon outputs. A secure DRB protocol should satisfy the following properties, outlined in [2], [3], [4]: (1) Liveness/availability: participants should not be able to prevent the progress of random beacon computation, (2) Guaranteed output delivery: adversaries should not be able to prevent honest participants in the protocol from obtaining a random beacon output, (3) Bias-resistance: no participants should be able to influ- ence future random beacon values to their advantage, (4) Public verifiability: as soon as a random beacon value is generated, it can be verified by anyone independently using only public information, and (5) Unpredictability: participants should not be able to pre- dict the future random beacon values. We introduce two new desirable properties for DRB proto- cols: (6) a reward mechanism, which incentivizes participants who invest time and energy in evaluating the randomness beacon value by rewarding their effort, and (7) a penalty mech- anism, which discourages inadequate participation, incorrect information or cheating by applying penalties for participants who engage in those actions. Our n-party distributed randomness beacon protocol, RANDGENER demonstrates a method of claiming “ownership” of a randomness beacon value evaluation in each round of the protocol’s execution. This is done by attaching a “watermark” of computing participants to the result of the evaluation in or- der to reward corresponding participants for their contribution. Our contributions are summarised as follows: • We extend watermarkable VDF (wVDF) defined in [5] by formally defining a new type called trapdoor wVDF. Furthermore, we demonstrate a construction using Wesolowski [5] and Pietrzak’s [6] scheme. • We construct RANDGENER, an efficient n-party commit- reveal-recover (or collaborative) distributed randomness beacon protocol with a novel reward mechanism and penalty mechanism using a trapdoor wVDF. Our protocol does not require any trusted (or expensive) setup and proves that it provides the desired security properties. Brief Relevant Work: A commit-reveal is a classic approach proposed in [1]. First, all participants publish a commitment yi = Commit(xi) to a random value xi. Next, participants reveal their xi values, resulting in R = Combine(x1, . . . , xn) for some suitable combination function (such as an exclusive- or or a cryptographic hash). However, the output


1 Consumers’ Responses to Reduced Personal Space in a Service Setting Stephani K.A. Robson*, Sheryl E. Kimes**, Franklin D. Becker***, and Gary W. Evans**** *Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA skr4@cornell.edu **Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA sek6@cornell.edu ***Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA fdb2@cornell.edu ****Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA gwe1@cornell.edu Abstract: This paper examines consumers’ responses to reduced personal space in a service setting. It describes two studies that investigate how users respond to restaurant tables spaced closely together. The first study evaluated consumers’ emotional responses to a projected dining experience when dining tables were spaced at one of three distances, and found that diners strongly object to closely spaced tables in the abstract. The second study tested responses to specific inter-table distances during actual dining experiences in a restaurant. Findings suggest that consumers in a real environment are less sensitive to reduced personal space than they are when asked about their feelings toward inter-table space before the service takes place. The results from this research will enhance the understanding of personal space preferences and behaviors in public spaces and may influence the design of service environments. Key words: Servicescapes, consumer behavior, personal space, restaurants 1. Introduction The physical environment in which services take place is a critical aspect of guest satisfaction and business success [1,2]. One element of the service environment is its layout which includes the positioning of seating [3]. For services such as air travel, cultural performances, or restaurant meals, the spacing of seating is often constrained as service providers try to maximize capacity [4]. But if the space between seats is too small, users may feel discomfort and adopt avoidance behaviors: reducing the amount of time spent, reducing spending, or even avoiding the service altogether [5]. While many elements of the service environment have been well studied [6], there is little empirical research regarding consumers’ perceptions of personal space either prior to purchase or during a seated service experience. If emotional reactions and behavioral responses to reduced personal space can be determined, service providers can create environments that more effectively balance user needs with spatial resources. 2. Personal Space Personal space is a self-created dynamic zone that individuals use to control their exposure to others [7, 8]. The size and shape of this zone varies with age, gender, and ethnicity of the individual and with the circumstances of the encounter [8]. When people feel that they do not have adequate personal space in a given situation, they are likely to feel stress and will try to either relocate or reduce the potential for any kind of interpersonal contact as a way to reduce that stress [9, 10]. Insufficient personal space is not always perceived as negative [11]. In order for feelings of crowding to occur, users must feel that the reduction in personal space somehow limits their ability to achieve their goals [12]. If

GigaScience Press has partnered with River Valley to launch a new platform and publishing workflow that aims to address these issues using custom-built, end-to-end publishing technology. The system enables accepted manuscripts to be converted to online, PDF-ready articles within a day. The new journal, GigaByte, streamlines editorial effort by focusing on short-format data and software- centric articles. The publication process integrates with the GigaScience Database (GigaDB , RRID:SCR_004002) that serves as a broad-spectrum repository, displaying data and code snapshots associated with these publications. Communication further sped up by linking with preprints that are collected together in a Sciety group. Curators are on hand to help host supporting data, curate metadata as well as visualisations of the resultant data. By integrating visualisations and interactive content within the article, GigaByte transforms the article from the traditional static, descriptive journal article. Aiding the sharing of the outputs of data science research, by building upon the open code and integrating a reproducibility toolkit of third-party tools to showcase interactive and executable versions of the results. As well as providing the opportunity to more easily test code and provide certificates of executable computation. The presentation of this poster will offer a live demo showcasing examples of how this interactivity can be built upon the data, software and results. Bringing publications to life in this manner allows a rethink of the concept of “Version of Record” to focus more on archiving the underlying data, software, PIDs and factual entities, and away from the traditional unchanging proofed document that is mostly superfluous packaging. * Corresponding author.

THE ROLE OF DIFFUSION OF INNOVATION IN AGRICULTURAL BUSINESS TO COMPETE IN ECONOMIC ASEAN COMMUNITY Harisa Mardiana1, Esther Kembauw2 1Department of Information Technology, Faculty of Science and Technology, Universitas Buddhi Dharma, Tangerang, Indonesia 2Department Social Economic, Faculty of Agriculture, University Pattimura Ambon Indonesia Email: harisa.mardiana@buddhidharma.ac.id; ekembauw@yahoo.co.id ABSTRACT Diffusion of innovation is one of the most needed in agribusiness farming. Many farmers failed to increase their income. Besides, they lost their income and even their land because they couldn’t be able to solve their problems which the national development of agriculture business seemed impossible to overcome the problems and the obstacles to resolving thoroughly as the requirement needed more serious attention. The innovation was a key factor for agribusiness growth, development and the welfare of chili pepper farmer. Diffusion of chili pepper farming had given differences in innovativeness to determine the characteristic of the adopter categories. But the communication and adoption process could explain the need of diffusion of innovation. The important in diffusion was the time dimension in chronology and not as history. Innovation was treated as both products of contradiction and caused of new contradiction and the process of adoption as both being structured was changed after all. When a new idea adopted, the innovations required in the period of time to become available. A new technology as a smart technology adopted and transformed in a learning process. By having to identify and examining the WHY and HOWs of the interface the farmer and innovation systems would, therefore, create a very good intervention ground to make a rational use of resources and knowledge for the development of agribusiness farming systems I. Introduction Agribusiness has a chance to be one of the most important parts of the economic growth in Indonesia. Data from World Bank indicated that 40% of Indonesian people live in rural area and work as a farmer. (Quincieu, 2015) This problem continues from time to time and the farmer needs more information to have problem solving. When we look at the case, innovation is a key factor for agribusiness growth, development and the welfare of chili pepper farmer. To measure the innovation is useful because it may provide orientation for the nature and degree of development of society towards a better future. (Ariza, César. et al., 2013) Innovation in agribusiness implies to a recent task, which has just told from Medan Business Newspaper. As far as we concerned the diffusion of innovation has not yet been applied and the selling and buying systems need to be changed and renewed. (Figure 1). II. Theory and the Applicable of Diffusion of Innovations in Chili Pepper Farming Diffusion really includes three fairly distinct processes: Presentation of the new culture element or elements to the society, acceptance by the society, and the integration of the accepted element or elements into the preexisting culture (Linton, 1936). Diffusion theory does not lead to the conclusion that one must wait for the diffusion of a new product or practice to reach the poorest people. In fact, one can accelerate the rate of adoption in any segment of the population through more intensive and more appropriate communication and outreach. (Green & Parcel, 1991). III. Methodology The Innovations Decision Process in Farming the Chili Pepper The research has used case study methodology to obtain the advantages of the actor’s perspective on societal contexts and dynamics. The qualitative interview and the close dialogue are at the centre of this methodology, thereby allowing for empirical inquiry of unclear ’boundaries between the phenomenon studied and the context’ (Yin, 1994). The goal of this methodology is to expand the theory, rather than proving it. This methodology is adopted as the qualities of clusters and its innovati


EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage (2023) Poster H. Graf, S. Pescarin, and S. Rizvic (Editors) The Scream (ca. 1910) through the Years: from Photographic Documentation to Spatio-Temporal Modelling I. Ciortan1, G. Trumpy1, I. Sandu2 and H. Bjørngård2 1Department of Computer Science, NTNU Gjøvik, Norway 2Munch Museum, Oslo, Norway Abstract The Scream (ca. 1910) is one of Edvard Munch’s representations of the well-known scene of a man awestruck by the beauty and colors of the sunset over the fjord, painted in oil and tempera on cardboard. Given the age of the artwork, it is expected that its appearance has significantly changed since its creation to the current state. Previous studies found that the yellow and dark red hues that depict the sky are especially sensitive to moisture and light exposure, respectively. In addition, several film photographs were taken of the painting between 1970 and 2003. In this work, we aim to use these photographs in an attempt to model the changes that the artwork withstood, and reconstruct its past appearance. We perform color correction of the photographs, by comparing the unfaded values in the films against reference values in the current version of the painting. To define the reference values, we use the existing knowledge on the highly sensitive areas and other damages that occured to the painting. Finally, we obtain a color transformation function that facilitates the digital rejuvenation of the painting appearance. CCS Concepts • Applied computing →Fine arts; • Computing methodologies →Model development and analysis; 1. Introduction Digital rejuvenation [BBC∗06] estimates the past appearance of a painting, and is of high interest for art historians, conser- vators, museum curators, educators and the general public. In the last decade, several approaches were proposed in this sense, where scientific data collected from an artwork (such as spec- tral reflectance, elemental maps, fading behaviour) are coupled with analytical [ZvdLL19, CPGH23] and physically-based mod- els [KLL∗18] and/or artistic editing in image processing software [FKHS17,Ber19,BZM∗22]. In some fortunate cases, information with respect to a painting’s composition and previous appearance can be retrieved from doc- umentary sources and archival records, where a good example is given by Vincent van Gogh’s letters describing his artistic process to his brother [vG]. Similarly, photographs from the past can repre- sent a useful piece of information to monitor the change of an art- work [SKR∗16]. However, photographic documentation presents an important challenge, that of accurate color calibration. This is especially problematic for film photographs, that are themselves subject to degradation due to dye decay, and are generated with complex photo-chemical processes.For instance, in an attempt to restore the film photographs of Brazilian artist Candido Portinari, Leão [Lea11] found a lower stability for the colour patches of the Kodak Q-13 control target with respect to the grayscale patches. In this work, we intend to develop a novel color correction method for the film photographs of The Scream (ca. 1910) in Munch Museum’s collection that provides the artwork’s accurate colors at the time in which the image was taken. Our approach is to obtain the color transformation relying on ground-truth scien- tific data that characterizes the materials in the painting and their aging behaviour. This is somewhat similar to the idea of Stenger et al. [SKR∗16] who use the unfaded parts of Rothko’s Harvard mu- rals in the creation of the digital reconstruction. However, differ- ent from [SKR∗16], we include the map of unfaded regions in the film color correction stage. The ultimate purpose of our proposed method is to employ the existing photographic documentation to- wards the digital rejuvenation of The Scream (ca. 1910). As a support to our work stands an extensive prior investigation of The Scream [SATCT10,CSR∗19,MCR∗20


Businesses and Society – The UN Sustainable Development Goals Exploring their relevance and application Growing populations and changing consumption patterns, together with environmental concerns and its associated social tensions continue to place societies around the world under severe pressures. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by the United Nations in 2015 consists of seventeen goals to help stimulate a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 people can enjoy both peace and prosperity. By advancing a diverse range of sustainable development themes it can be hoped that current and future drivers of societal change can be acknowledged by both business and societies when it comes to industrial production, consumption, and urbanisation. Furthermore, the pandemic has also offered businesses and societies a golden opportunity to build new recovery strategies and plans to help change previous trends, consumption, and production patterns to better reﬂect a more sustainable future. Therefore, reﬂecting the integrated nature of the seventeen SDGs, where action in one area will affect outcomes in others, you are invited to present research that covers one (or several) of the following.

Bulge classification using MaNGA Sabyasachi Chattopadhyay South African Astronomical Observatory, Cape Town Shravan Shetty The Kavli Institute of Astronomy & Astrophysics, Peking University Abstract: Numerous studies have demonstrated strong correlations between the galaxy bulges and other host galaxy properties suggest that understanding bulge evolutions is crucial for any complete theory for galaxy evolution. Galaxy bulges come in two ﬂavours; rotations supported Pseudo bulges and dispersion-supported Classical bulges. These bulge types have distinct properties like the galaxy Sersic index and their position in the Kormendy relation, which have been traditionally used for the classiﬁcation of galaxy bulges. However, these properties are more empirical as they do not probe the galaxy bulges directly compared to kinematics. We have performed the photometric and kinematic classiﬁcation of ~4310 galaxies from the Mapping of Nearby Galaxies at the Apache point observatory (MaNGA) survey. We have deﬁned classical and pseudo bulge host (CBH & PBH) galaxies using Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) r-band photometric data we formed Kormendy relation of slope 2.84, offset of 18.08 and a scatter of 0.99 within the ellipticals classiﬁed by PyMorph and Deep Learning. We use PyMorph derived bulge properties to separate classical and pseudo bulges by their distance from the derived Kormendy relation. We use this to investigate the performance of traditional classiﬁcation techniques to disentangle Pseudo-bulge and Classical bulge host galaxies.

For instance, bibliographic (meta) data were used to study the history of the book (Lahti et al., 2018) and literary translation flows (Roig-Sanz and Fólica, 2021). The outcome of the analysis and the efforts spent for the analysis depend on the availability and quality of the data. Not only researchers, but also other stakeholders such as cultural heritage institutions or commercial agencies benefit from high quality metadata, for example derived from national bibliographies (Lubas et al., 2022). There are a number of opportunities for employing metadata in DH research. Named Entity Linking (NEL) is an often applied method where entities identified in an electronic text or digitised document are linked to a common identifier of that entity for unique identification.

arXiv:2004.05004 Neutrino Oscillations and Non-standard Interactions with KM3NeT-ORCA N. R. Khan Chowdhury on behalf of the KM3NeT Collaboration IFIC - Instituto de Fisica Corpuscular (Univ. de Valencia - CSIC) naﬁs.chowdhury@iﬁc.uv.es Abstract ORCA (Oscillations Research with Cosmics in the Abyss) is the low-energy node of KM3NeT, the next generation underwater Cherenkov neutrino detector in the Mediterranean sea. The primary goal of KM3NeT-ORCA is the determi- nation of the neutrino mass ordering (NMO). With an energy threshold of few GeV and an eﬀective mass of several Mtons, KM3NeT-ORCA can also make precision measurements of atmospheric oscillation parameters. Moreover, its access to a wide range of energies and baselines makes it optimal to discover exotic physics beyond the Standard Model such as Non-Standard Interactions (NSI) of neutrinos. The sensitivity of the detector to the neutrino mass order- ing is presented, along with its potential for determination of the atmospheric oscillation parameters. It is observed that KM3NeT-ORCA will improve the current upper limits on NSI parameters by an order of magnitude after three years of data taking.

Abstract This article analyzes the concept of gamification and its significance in modern society. The opportunities to enhance human activity and efficiency through the application of gamification in education, manufacturing, healthcare, marketing, and other fields are discussed. The article examines the core psychological principles of gamification, reward systems, tools to influence participants, and mechanisms to inspire motivation. Additionally, the role of rewards, recognition, and competitive environments in social relations is elaborated upon. The future trends of gamification and factors driving its rapid development are analyzed. Keywords Gamification, motivation, education system, game mechanics, stimulation, reward systems, competitive environment, efficiency, technology, innovation, participants, social relations, psychological principles. We live in a world where we can achieve new results every day. We communicate with those around us, set goals, and open new horizons, and technology helps us do this today. Nowadays, engaging in any activity is very easy, but a frequently heard problem arises — boredom. Yes, you read that right — just boredom. Let‘s take the education system (don‘t assume this is pure criticism): modern children rarely pick up a pen for long, and even in classrooms (though not always), they are on smartphones, tablets, portable gaming devices, and other gadgets. Why? Naturally, to play, because now, thanks to computer technology, you can find incredible games. Children play at home, on the streets, and even in hiding places. But then the bell rings, and they must sit at their desks and immediately switch to other ―games‖ — activities that are far from interesting or engaging. We won‘t dive deeper into this topic because we believe every one of you can recall a typical classroom lesson from 10-15 years ago taught by a regular teacher.

Therefore, improve public policies of sustainable mobility from a geographical analysis of road safety, infrastructure, and public safety (thefts) parameterized by km of the route traveled, which are subsequently analyzed statistically. Finally, this case study is based on the GPS records of the Biko mobile application in Bogotá, Colombia. The process can be replicated in any city with the available information. KEYWORDS: sustainable mobility, geospatial analysis, variables per km of route 1. Introduction This case study was for Bogotá, Colombia, from the GPS records of cyclists’ routes available from the Biko mobile application (from February 1, 2018, to February 28, 2018). This information was joined with other geo-referenced data sources such as claims, thefts, and infrastructure such as traffic lights and bike lanes. A multi-layer treatment was also performed for the generation of cyclist routes, zoning with date and time, creation of Origin-Destination, and variables were created with the km of route traveled parameter. 2. Literature review The geospatial analysis of cyclists' routes is related to the origin of the information, usually from mobile applications. Lee and Nese (2021), in their literature review, on Strava, one of the mobile apps to analyze cyclists, specify: "Bicycle route monitoring is no longer limited to traditional sources, such as surveys and trip counts. Strava, a popular fitness tracker, has enriched cycling research opportunities over the past five years (...) Strava Metro data has potential, albeit finite, to be used to: identify travel patterns, estimate travel demand, analyze route choice, monitor exposure in crash models, and assess exposure to air pollution. However, it involves challenges such as: poor representativeness of the general population, bias towards and away from certain groups, lack of demographic details and individual-level travel data. (...) These prevent researchers from relying entirely on this data source and it was identified that cross-use with other sources and validation of reliability with official data could improve its potential." According to the above from a geospatial study on cyclists in Norway (Pritchard, Frøyen and Snizek, * Laura.daniela.ramirez.leuro@campus.tu-berlin.de † labullac@unal.edu.co

ARTICLE DETAILS ABSTRACT Article History: Received 23 October 2023 Revised 15 November 2023 Accepted 09 December 2023 Available online 14 December 2023 The goals of this study are to evaluate the suitable variety and priming method and find out the interaction effect of seed priming and variety for maximization of chickpea yield and yield attributes at drought-prone region. The Agronomy Research Plot of Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur, Bangladesh led this experiment during November 2021 to April 2022 following randomized complete block design with three replications. The experiment had two factors: (A) two chickpea varieties, V1= BARI Chola-10 and V2= BARI Chola-11, and (B) five priming treatments, P1= Control (No priming), P2= Hydropriming, P3= Alovera leaf extract, P4= Azadirachta indica leaf extract, and P5= Moringa olifera leaf extract. It was manifested that BARI Chola-10 (V1) exhibited the superior performance in the yield and yield attributing traits subjected to no. of pods plant-1 (5.62), no. of seeds plant-1 (2.18), 1000 seeds weight (207.8 g), grain (1.76 t ha-1), stover (2.71 t ha-1) and biological yield (4.48 t ha-1). In varied priming treatments, P5 (Moringa olifera leaf extract) produced the most grain yield (2.07 t ha-1), whereas control (P1) produced the least (1.35 t ha-1). The maximal stover yield was 2.72 t ha-1 with Moringa olifera leaf extract and the lowest was 2.40 t ha-1 without priming. The treatment combination V1P5 performed best in extent of grain (2.13 t ha-1) and stover yield (2.83 t ha-1) whereas the minimum seed yield (1.30 t ha-1) and stover yield (2.26 t ha-1) were recorded from V2P1 treatment combination. BARI Chola-10 (V1) primed with Moringa olifera leaf extract (P5) improved chickpea yield in the study region. KEYWORDS Cicer arietinum, Drought-prone, Organic seed priming, Yield, Moringa olifera 1. INTRODUCTION In a scenario of steady economic development, agricultural demand is predicted to rise by 50% from 2013 to 2050 as the global population approaches 10 billion (FAO, 2017). Food and nutritional security for a growing population in the face of global climate change requires a second green revolution. Due to their low production cost and symbiotic nitrogen fixing, grain legumes are the best choice. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under the family of legumes, Fabaceae is a staple crop worldwide, notably in Afro-Asia. It is an excellent storehouse of carbohydrate and protein, and its protein quality is superior than other pulses. Chickpeas contains calcium, zinc,


Betting shop provisioning and crime patterns in England Oluwole Adeniyi1, Ferhat Tura2 and Andy Newton3 1School of Management, Nottingham Business School, Nottingham Trent University, UK 2Department of Social Sciences and Social Work, Bournemouth University, UK 3Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice, School of Social Sciences, Nottingham Trent University, UK GISRUK 2023 Summary Critics alleged that there is a link between gambling provisioning and crime and scholars argue that gambling outlets serve as attractors of anti-social and criminal behaviours. This study compared the patterns of betting shops with different categories of crime in England. using a spatial longitudinal approaches b at neighbourhood level. Spatial analysis and multilevel negative binomial model results identified significant effect of betting shops on crime, even after accounting for ethnic heterogeneity, concentrated disadvantage, and other neighbourhood factors. Our findings suggest risk factors of crime including betting shops converge in similar areas, and this creates opportunities for more crimes. Keywords Crime, gambling, betting shop, social disorganisation theory, risky facilities, crime attractors and generators. 1. Introduction Critics allege that there is a link between gambling provisioning and crime (Adolphe et al., 2019). They argue that gambling opportunities are abundant in areas with high crime clusters, and they serve as attractors of anti-social and criminal behaviours (Newham Council, 2016; Martin, 2019). International studies have examined the relationship between gambling facilities and crime from different approaches such as analysing the geographical distribution of gambling facilities and crime or individual behaviours as a result of engaging in gambling (Laursen et al., 2016; Lan et al, 2020). In the UK, proliferation of gambling opportunities has gained considerable attention (Adeniyi et al., 2020). Unfortunately, there has been limited empirical studies to examine the linkages between gambling provisioning and crime in the UK. Most of the evidence has been drawn mostly from North American and Australian studies. This research opines that developing policies in the UK based on results of studies from Canada, US and Australia is inappropriate because the gambling landscape in the UK and these countries are not comparable. This is because the gambling landscape in these countries, especially the US comprises of mostly casinos while the landscape comprises of mostly betting shops in the UK. This brings to fore the importance of this research which looks at relationship between betting shop location and crime in England. 1*corresponding author: oluwole.adeniyi@ntu.ac.uk 2 ftura@bournemouth.ac.uk 3 Andy.newton@ntu.ac.uk

RAN Simulator Is NOT What You Need: O-RAN Reinforcement Learning for the Wireless Factory Ta Dang Khoa Le ta-dang-khoa.le@eurecom.fr EURECOM Biot, France Navid Nikaein navid.nikaein@eurecom.fr EURECOM Biot, France ABSTRACT As modern manufacturing lines embrace greater modularity and flexibility, the need to transition factory networks from wired to wireless grows. Yet the mission-critical nature of factory networks poses a key challenge - connecting numer- ous diverse machines with high QoS predictability. After formulating this challenge as predictable RAN optimization via Reinforcement Learning (RL), we highlight a major-yet- overlooked modeling issue: matching the packet handling mechanics of a production/real RAN software. In this paper, we show that these mismatches inside RAN simulators can cause non-trivial QoS gaps in production. Then, we present Twin5G, a novel training solution that brings scalable and near-discrete-time emulations to real RAN software, remov- ing the need for RAN simulators. In a RAN Slicing example, Twin5G-trained policy outperforms simulator-trained and standard RL-trained policies in both QoS achieved (+16%) and predictability (+19%) during tests.

However, transitioning mission-critical factory networks from wired to wireless is a challenge; one needs to connect as many UEs as possible, despite much limited resources, while guaranteeing each UE’s QoS before actual deployment (i.e., QoS predictability), despite diverse requirements and stochastic workload variations. In this paper, we formulate this wireless factory challenge as (a) per-UE predictable QoS optimization solved with (b) RL-based RAN control. (a) is crucial because we want to maximize the value of each used resource unit. Yet, optimiz- ing system-level or multi-UE objectives cannot guarantee predictable network conditions for any UE [2]. (b) is neces- sary because, due to radio scarcity, RAN remains the only bottleneck in modern network deployments [3]. Yet, opti- mizing it requires a sequential stochastic control approach to handle adaptive traffic profiles and partially-observable channel variations. Under this formulation, multiple per-UE RL policies simultaneously control the RAN, with each pol- icy’s expected total reward being the prediction for its UE’s in-production QoS. Still, as Deep RL is sensitive to modeling errors [4], high QoS predictability requires accurate emulation of produc- tion traffic, channel, and RAN-stack dynamics. In this paper, we leave the well-known traffic-channel modeling errors to future work, and fo

Poster: A practical methodology for ML-Based EM Side Channel Disassemblers Cesar Arguello CISE University of Florida carguello1@uﬂ.edu Hunter Searle CISE University of Florida huntersearle@uﬂ.edu Sara Rampazzi CISE University of Florida srampazzi@uﬂ.edu Kevin Butler CISE University of Florida butler@uﬂ.edu Abstract—Providing security guarantees for embedded de- vices with limited interface capabilities is an increasingly crucial task. Although these devices don’t have traditional interfaces, they still generate unintentional electromagnetic signals that correlate with the instructions being executed. By collecting these traces using our methodology and leveraging a random forest algorithm to develop a machine learning model, we built an EM side channel based instruction level disassembler. The disassembler was tested on an Arduino UNO board, yielding an accuracy of 88.69% instruction recognition for traces from twelve instructions captured at a single location in the device; this is an improvement compared to the 75.6% (for twenty instructions) reported in previous similar work. Index Terms—electromagnetism, side-channel, disassembly, security 1. Introduction Embedded devices form an integral part of the modern computing ecosystem. They can be found in a myriad of applications, ranging from household appliances to security-critical industrial controllers. Securing this wide range of devices is a massive and crucial design challenge, especially with the rise in connectivity of the Internet of Things and emerging threats [1]. Many of these devices, such as fuel tank monitors or farming ﬁeld sensors, offer little insight into their internal workings due to proprietary technology or limited interfaces. Additionally, devices such as medical devices might be deployed long-term, with little or no ability to update their software against cyberthreats. This combination of longevity and minimal access create a situation where devices are susceptible to many forms of attacks, including disrupting functionality, falsifying sensor output, and increasing power consump- tion to drain batteries [2]. One proposed approach to the challenge of protecting embedded devices against these attacks is to use side- channel information. Side-channels refer to information that is leaked by unintentional signals generated in the normal operation of a processor. There are many forms of side-channel, including power, noise, electromagnetism, timing, etc [3] [4] [5]. In each case, the signal is correlated to the operations that generated them, so that information about those operations can be retrieved from the signal. Of these, power side-channels offer the clearest signal, and have consequently received more attention from re- searchers. However, they require a direct connection to the processor’s power rail. Electromagnetic signals, however, can be captured with no physical connection, making them more preferable as a side-channel security mechanism. In this work we propose an efﬁcient approach for building an electromagnetic side-channel based disas- sembler, which can identify speciﬁc instructions being executed on an embedded processor. We then use our approach to build a proof-of-concept EM-based disassem- bler to be used for implementing anomaly detection and control ﬂow mechanisms on low-cost embedded systems without the need for ﬁrmware or hardware redesign. In comparison with previous work [6], [7] that uses wiring or multiple measurement points, our approach leverages the presence in the device’s board of electronic components that generate EM emanations (e.g., ampliﬁers) correlated to the internal processor operations. Using a simple ran- dom forest algorithm for classiﬁcation, we achieve single instruction granularity with 88.69% accuracy over twelve different instructions on an ATMega328P 16MHz pro- cessor. This is an improvement over previous work [6] which required multiple measurement points and was only tested on a 4MHz processor to achiev

A mechanistic in silico molecular recognized approach for the ligand based generation of a dual N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP), and MMK-1peptide mimetic hyper-agonist fMLP targeted receptor against the PGE2 EP4 pathway chemotherapy-induced alopecia. Grigoriadis Ioannis1, Grigoriadis George2 and Grigoriadis Nikolaos3* 1.Department of Computer Drug Discovery Science, BiogenetoligandorolTM, Thessaloniki, Greece, 2.Department of Stem Cell Bank and ViroGeneaTM, Biogenea Pharmaceuticals Ltd, Thessaloniki, Greece, 3.Department of IT Computer Aided Personalized Myoncotherapy, Cartigenea-Cardiogenea, Neurogenea-Cellgenea, Cordigenea-HyperoligandorolTM, ABSTRACT: It has been shown that the Oral administration for 6 days of 100 mg/kg MMK-1, of an agonist peptide selective for the FPRL1 receptor, suppressed alopecia induced by the anticancer drug etoposide in neonatal rats. However, the anti-alopecia effect of orally administered MMK-1 was inhibited by indomethacin, an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase (COX), or AH-23848B, an antagonist of the EP4 receptor for prostaglandin (PG) E2, suggesting involvement of PGE2 release and the EP4 receptor in the oral MMK-1 anti-alopecia mechanism. The anti-alopecia effect of orally administered MMK-1 was also blocked by an inhibitor of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF- kappaB), pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate, suggesting that the oral anti-alopecia effect of MMK-1 may be mediated by activation of NF-kappaB. These results suggested that MMK-1 bound to FPRL1 receptor might suppress etoposide-induced apoptosis of hair follicle cells and alopecia by way of PGE2 release and NF-kappaB activation. Previously, it has also been found that an intraperitoneally administered chemotactic peptide, N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP), and MMK-1, a selective agonist of formyl peptide receptor-like 1 (FPRL1) receptor, the low affinity subtype of the fMLP receptor, prevented the alopecia in neonatal rats induced by the anticancer agent etoposide. The anti-alopecia effect of fMLP was not inhibited at all by Boc-FLFLF, a selective antagonist of formylpeptide receptor (FPR), which is the high affinity subtype of the receptor, but it was partly inhibited by Trp-Arg-Trp-Trp-Trp-Trp-NH(2) (WRW(4)), an antagonist of FPRL1 receptor. The anti-alopecia effects of fMLP and MMK- 1 were also inhibited by Lys-D-Pro-Thr (K(D)PT) and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate, which are inhibitors of interleukin-1 (IL-1) and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) respectively. Computational methods utilizing the structural and functional information help to understand specific molecular recognition events between the target biomolecule and candidate hits and make it possible to design improved lead molecules for the target. Here we represents a massive on-going scientific endeavor to provide a freely accessible state of the art software suite for protein and DNA targeted lead molecule discovery. by resulting in a Mechanistic in silico molecular recognized approach for the ligand based generation of a dual N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP), and MMK-1peptide mimetic agonists formyl-peptide hyper-agonist interactive receptors against chemotherapy-induced alopecia. II METHODS Α Sequential Solution of the Poisson-Boltzmann Equation through a Combination Index Dynamic Unified Theorem for Multiple Entities: and when m ≠ 1, then: Based on Eqs. 1 and 2, in conjunction with Eq. 4, Chou and Talalay in 1983 introduced the term combination index (CI) for quantification of synergism (CI<1), additive effect (CI=1), and antagonism (CI>1) [6,13,14], where at x% inhibition, the general equation for two drugs is given below: A typical presentation of algorithms and graphics of CI values as a function of effect (fa) is illustrated in Figure 2. The resulting Fa-CI plot is also called Chou-Talalay plot. The Fa-CI plot and isobologram are two sides of the same coin, where Fa-CI plot is effect-oriented and the isobologram is dose-oriented (Figure 1). More details have been given in Reference 6.
