Abstract Type: Poster Abstracts Abstract Status: Complete Abstract ID: 826054 Abstract Title: Global Search Trends: Geographic and Temporal Disparities in the Relative Search Volume for Orofacial Pain Types Authors: Junhel Dalanon, DMD, MAT, EdD; Arief Waskitho, Drdrg, SpProsK; Parimal Chavan, BDS; Swarna Lakshmi, BDS, MDS; Yoshizo Matsuka, DDS, PhD Background and Aims In the information era, seeking health information from search engines is not uncommon. These search trends or relative search volumes (RSV) have been used in the past to evaluate and forecast epidemics. This study aimed to evaluate the variations of the searches for orofacial pain types from 197 countries in a decade using Google Trends (GT). Methods A search query was done with the parameters Worldwide as location, January 1, 2010- December 31, 2019 as time range, Health as category, Web Search as database, and the search terms tooth pain (TP), jaw pain (JP), face pain (FP), head pain (HP), and mouth pain (MP) were used. Comma-separated value files were downloaded from the internet and analyzed. Search trends were expressed as RSV or the maximum popularity rate in a given search term, place, and time. Results The results of a two-way ANOVA found substantial differences on the RSV for types of pain, F (26, 1215) = 39.47, p< 0.001. Out of the 27 countries that elicited a response, HP was found to be significantly higher than any other orofacial pain type in India, Ireland, Kenya, Pakistan and South Africa. A Brown-Forsythe and Welch ANOVA found considerable disparities in search trends for various types of pain, F (4, 21) = 40.86, p< 0.001. A Dunnett’s T3 multiple comparisons test revealed that the RSV for JP (29.2±2.1, p< 0.001), FP | non_poster |

Looking for evidence of independent researchers in bibliographic records: an exploration Eline Vandewalle* and Camilla Lindelöw** *Eline.Vandewalle@uantwerpen.be https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9852-3373 Centre for Research and Development Monitoring (ECOOM), University of Antwerp, Belgium ** camilla.lindelow@hb.se https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3331-0940 Swedish School of Library and Information Science, University of Borås, Sweden Abstract Independent researchers or scholars have always (co-)existed with academic professionals. The term independent researcher has been used to refer to various phenomena at different times - from the historical researchers pursuing their research interests independently to today's researchers struggling to find permanent positions or funding. Bibliographical data sources offer a possibility to learn more about these researchers, but they do not provide a full picture. In this exploratory study, we compare three different data sources: Web of Science, Scopus and OpenAlex. All three sources show an increase in records associated with independent researchers, and the amount of records varies. We use OpenAlex to further explore publications by independent researchers active in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH). We provide an overview of the topics and the forms of open access publishing. We also explore different career trajectories based on the full publication history of independent researchers. 1. Introduction While most scholarly publications today are authored by people affiliated with research organisations, some are (co-)authored by ‘independent’ or ‘unaffiliated’ researchers. These authors are active in research but are not employed by an organisation to do research. There may be many reasons for this. The history of research has been marked by a move towards professionalisation, whereby research has been increasingly pursued within the confines of academic organisations and controlled by scientific societies. At the same time, we can still find examples of independent researchers publishing their work outside of the academic system. Independent researchers are certainly a very diverse group, from the historical cliché of the gentleman scientist, to women excluded from the academy, to people trying to continue research in an academic world of high competition and few stable job opportunities, to the professor emeritus continuing to work in retirement. Independent researchers have been described as a ‘hidden intelligentsia’ in society (Flesch, 1997). Orlans (2002, p. 12) defines ‘Independent Scholars’ as follows: ‘In various definitions, independent scholars are those unaffiliated with an academic, or with any, institution, or whose work duties do not include research and scholarship. Typically, they are Ph.D.s in the humanities, often women, who, unable to find scholarly employment ("independent," a wit says, is a euphemism for "unemployed"), pursue | non_poster |

Meditative Live Coding and Musicological Hindrances Matthew Tift Lullabot me@matthewtift.com ABSTRACT In certain situations, music live coding obtains a meditative quality. Meditative live coding can offer benefits beyond the sounds produced, but not in all performances. This paper explores live coding as a method to cultivate mindfulness. It argues that three conventional ideas about musical practice exert a strong regulative force in live coding performance: the notion of the “musical work,” the idea of music as a “thing,” and the conviction that music requires interpretation. Drawing on the work of music scholars such as Lydia Goehr, Carolyn Abbate, and Christopher Small, and deploying a pragmatic approach influenced by William James, this study offers an historically-informed theory of live coding that highlights its usefulness in cultivating an awareness of the present moment. 1 Causing Problems with Live Coding It makes for a good one-liner to say that “live coders are much more interested in causing problems than solving them” (McLean 2017). More than just humorous, this statement differentiates live coding from other kinds of coding, especially the unit tested and peer reviewed kind. As the number of people who are paid to write code continues to grow, even in free software communities that were once comprised entirely of hobbyists (Buytaert and Tift 2016), we imagine live coding as an oasis detached from the stress of fulfilling software acceptance criteria. Therefore to say that live coding “causes problems” is also to remind that live coding offers a more pleasurable alternative to writing code for money. In fact, live coding offers a wide variety of benefits. Rather than cause problems, live coding can ameliorate them. Employing algorithms, visuals, a nearly limitless supply of sounds, pitches, timbres, tempos, etc., live coding creates opportunities unavailable to other artistic practices. Participants view live coding as an activity that does the opposite of causing harm – it entertains, edifies, and educates. The live coding event can be a place of contemplation, a sonic escape from the stress of everyday life. Others have already noted that live coding can have a strong “meditative ethos” (McLean 2014; Hall 2007). Certain varieties of live coding are described as “meditative sonic studies” (Collins et al. 2003, 323) and in some cases live coders actually perform on meditation cushions (Smallwood et al. 2008, 10). Whether we are dancing at an algorave, sitting in a concert hall, or learning in a classroom, all varieties of live coding can be meditative. We decide how and when to enter the flow of the present moment. Unfortunately, external factors can negatively affect our capacity to experience live coding as meditation. Everyday things, such as a cold room, a barking dog, or the number of likes a live coding video receives affect our experience. In our so-called “attention economy” where “attention merchants” compete for our attention and treat it as a commodity (see Wu 2016), marketers can commercialize a live coding event, making our experience feel less like an escape. Even otherwise beneficial activities – such as using live coding as art activism, music education, music therapy, a tool to teach kids to code, or as a kind of Gebrauchsmusik (“useful” music) intended to enlighten other people – can alter the “meditative ethos.” Perhaps the most powerful hindrances come from within. With music live coding, like any musical practice, we sometimes experience a nagging feeling that the sounds we produce must meet or exceed a vague concept of “good,” even when we practice live coding in private. We might view a practice as too mechanical, unimaginative, or somehow not “authentic.” But while society may impose numerous restrictions – unwritten rules – on some composers, performers, listeners, producers, and others involved in the production of other categories of music, we typically understand live coding as exempt from | non_poster |
GitLab as a tool for Research Data Management Candidate for a Base4NFDI general service Dirk von Suchodoletz1[https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4382-5104], Dominik Brilhaus, 2[https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9021- 3197], Marcel Tschöpe1[https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3731-7664], and Jonathan Bauer1[https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5624- 2055] 1 Computer Center University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany 2 Cluster of Excellence on Plant Sciences (CEPLAS) Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf, Germany Abstract. The collaboration of researchers locally or worldwide ranging from single research- ers over a group or a lab up to cross institutional and disciplinary cooperation requires suitable working environments. Data hubs in the form of science gateways--usually abstracting from just locally shared storage resources--are discussed and explored for quite some time. While it was en vogue to propose and develop discipline specific gateways, we suggest to rely on well-established standard software frameworks instead. Research data considered over the entire data life cycle and closely related activities like annotation, versioning and sharing has a lot in common with (open source) software development. Git and GitLab--well established tools in software development--could play a major role in general research data management. From DataPLANT's point of view, GitLab as a science gateway would be a valuable addition to the NFDI [5] software landscape. It would be beneficial to address it as a joint service in cross-domain activities of all interested consortia. Keywords: Git, GitLab, versioning, sharing of data, science gateway, LFS, DataPLANT Software development processes match central RDM requirements Research data management (RDM) typically follows a cycle: data is gathered, analyzed, and published, leading to new research questions which often leads to a new start of the cycle or iterative loops. Anticipating the need for publication earlier in the process is beneficial, partic- ularly in data gathering and analysis stages. For example, metadata annotation is crucial for data interpretation and reuse. Instead of annotating data just before publication, we propose continuous annotation throughout the RDM life cycle. Similarly, reproducibility should be con- tinuous, ensuring that analyses on a data set are always reproducible. Rather than focusing on publication, research data can be managed and curated using pro- cesses similar to software development. This approach involves analyzing problems, design- ing solutions, and implementing and releasing iterations. Techniques like unit testing and con- tinuous integration ensure the correctness of the data throughout the development phase and enable flexible release schedules. Many considerations in software development match the expectations in RDM quite well. The goal of each iteration of a cycle, i.e., producing a release, is anticipated throughout all steps. This has led to the development of techniques such as unit testing and continuous integration. [1] Scientific research data is often seen as static and unchanging, but it should be viewed as dynamic and evolving. Version control can be a valuable tool for collaboration in RDM, allowing researchers to work together seamlessly while maintaining consistency, proper annotation, and reproducibility. By adopting version control as a systematic approach, ad hoc collaboration methods can be replaced, ensuring an atomic and unambiguous history of changes without | non_poster |

Abstract Recent climate changes in Arctic regions have caused retreat of glaciers, increases in meltwater outflow and massive inputs of suspended sediment load to the coastal marine environment (Malone et al., 2016). Moreover, climate warming in the Arctic can potentially affect large-scale microbial processes including population dynamics and trophic level interactions. Viral, prokaryotic and phytoplanktonic communities play a key role in relevant processes such as carbon fluxes and nutrient regeneration and can be viewed both as sentinels and amplifiers of global change. Monitoring of environmental changes, especially those related to ice melting, requires the availability of advanced technologies, able to promptly record phenomena occurring at different spatial and time scales. Moreover, the development of new sampling technology in extreme environments can be used in areas not reachable by vessels or subject to oil spill. In the context of ARCA project the main aims of our research unit were: i) to assess the variability of planktonic abundance and activities over short time scales in a site of the study area; ii) to design and built an automatic sampler for extreme polar environments; iii) to search for cold-adapted OIL/PAH(Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons)-degrading bacteria in the Arctic region. To achieve the first objective, in June 2015 a study was performed at a coastal station (MDI) of the Kongsfjorden (Svalbard Islands) influenced by the freshwater runoff from land and glaciers (Fig. 1). The survey repeated a previous experiment carried out in September 2013 (Azzaro et al., 2014; Azzaro et al., 2015; Azzaro et al., 2016; Caroppo et al., 2016) at the same site, with the novelty of focusing on the sea surface microlayer and the bottom boundary layer. During this study, lasting 10 days, changes both in abiotic and biotic parameters were detected. In particular, the variability over short time scales of planktonic abundances (virio-, bacterio- and microphytoplankton) and microbial activities, was assessed in relation to environmental variables. The following results were obtained: lower biotic and abiotic variability in June 2015 compared to September 2013; prevalence of viruses over bacteria; a greater abundance of autotrophic than heterotrophic components and increased presence of temperate-warm species -including harmful and toxic species- compared to the previous survey; higher microbial activity levels in June 2015 than in September 2013, resulting in an increased efficiency of the Biological pump. The second aim was addressed to the development of new technological devices for the study of extreme polar environments. In particular, a first prototype of an automatic multisampler was tested in the Kongsfjorden (Zappalà et al., 2016a,b). It constitutes a practical low-cost system to obtain data with good spatio-temporal resolution both for the initial characterization and for the study of possible natural or anthropogenic disturbance in water quality. The developed multisampler has been successfully applied | non_poster |

conda-lock scipy 2023 virtual poster Abstract conda-lock is a tool to designed to aid reproducible science and analysis by providing a reliable and easy to use means to ensure consistent creation of computing environments. This is not a document on how to use conda-lock, for that consult the documentation. This document covers the design consideration as well as common usage patterns. Why conda? A large number of commonly used libraries in python make entensive use of extension modules written in a different language (usually C/C++). Building these libraries has historically been challenging since the python package management tools (like pip) cannot be used to the dependencies that are needed by native compilers. Conda solves this by building both the native libraries and the python libraries that make use of these. It performs a few adjustments to the compiled artifacts to ensure that the built binaries can be more easily intalled without needing to recompile. Why conda-lock? Conda was designed as a developer facing tool, much like its more pure python sibling pip. This means that when trying to use conda in cases where reproducibility is required it has a number of short-comings that can appear from time to time which can result in inconsistent execution environments. conda-lock addresses these shortcomings by leaning on existing package management tools (conda, mamba and poetry) and the concept of a dependency lockfile (popularized by systems like npm and cargo) and allowing users to generate a lockfile that covers both conda and PyPI packages. Design principles 1. The environment created by conda lock should be consistent across all machines on a given platform Conda packages are platform-specific binaries we cannot guarantee any resolution more general than platform level. 1 | non_poster |

Page | 1 Determinants of improved sanitation facilities in schools in Brazil: Accelerating progress towards SDG 6 with a multi-level modelling approach Kasandra I.H.M.Poague*1, Justine I.Blanford†1, Javier Martínez‡1 and Carmen Anthonj§1 1 Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation–ITC, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands January 05, 2023 Summary Understanding the factors associated with improved sanitation facilities in schools is essential for planning effective interventions, especially in locations with limited resources, such as low-and middle- income countries. Our study aimed to identify the determinants of improved sanitation facilities in schools in Brazil in 2021. For that purpose, a mixed-effect logistic model was built with two levels (schools – level 1, and municipalities – level 2). Results indicate that special attention should be devoted to improving sanitation in public schools, schools located in rural areas, in the North region, with primary education first cycle, and with a high percentage of indigenous students. KEYWORDS: SDG 6; WASH; Improved sanitation; Education; Mixed-effect logistic regression models. 1. Introduction Despite children spending a substantial portion of their daytime hours at schools, most research and sanitation interventions are devoted to the assessment of conditions and impacts of sanitation in the household environment rather than in schools (Chatterley et al., 2018; Cronk et al., 2015; Freeman et al., 2012). While children may have safe domestic sanitation, this might not be true at their schools. Supporting access to improved sanitation in schools is not a simple task, as different factors interfere with the availability of this resource. Keeping in mind that funding for schools is scarced in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs), and, even when available, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) might not be a priority for resources allocation, research is needed to comprehend what are the determinants of the availability of improved sanitation facilities in schools. By definition, improved sanitation facilities are those designed to hygienically separate excreta from human contact (WHO, UNICEF, 2022), and they can range from simple to complex solutions. In this study, however, only two solutions were considered. Schools were classified as having improved sanitation facilities if they disposed of their sewage into a public sewerage system or a septic tank. Knowledge about the determinants will help identify where and which type of schools are more in need of sanitation interventions to guide efficient actions and maximize their impacts. Our main objective was to identify what are the determinants of improved sanitation in schools in Brazil in 2021. * k.i.h.mingotipoague@utwente.nl † j.i.blanford@utwente.nl ‡ j.a.martinez@utwente.nl § c.anthonj@utwente.nl | non_poster |
C22B PRODUCTION AND REFINING OF METALS (electrolytic C25); PRETREATMENT OF RAW MATERIALS Definition statement This subclass/group covers: Metallurgical or chemical processes for producing or recovering metals from metal compounds, ores, waste or scrap metal and for refining metal. Included in this subclass are processes drawn to: the production of metal by smelting, roasting or furnace method; the extraction of metal compounds from ore and concentrates by wet processes; electrochemical treatment of ores and metallurgical products for obtaining metals or alloys; apparatus thereof; preliminary treatment of ores, concentrates and scrap; general process for refining or remelting metals; apparatus for electroslag or arc remelting of metals; obtaining specific metals; consolidating metalliferous charges or treating agents that are subsequently used in other processes of this subclass, by agglomerating, compacting, indurating or sintering. Relationship between large subject matter areas This subclass covers the treatment, e.g. decarburization, of metallferrous material for purposes of refining. C21C, C21D and C22F provide decarburization of metal for modifying the physical structure of ferrous and nonferrous metals or alloys, respectively. C22B also possesses groups for obtaining metals including obtaining metals by chemical processes, and obtaining metal compounds by metallurgical processes. Thus, for example, group C22B 11/00 covers the production of silver by reduction of ammoniacal silver oxide in solution, and group C22B 25/00 covers the production of titanium oxide by metallurgical process. Furthermore, although compounds of arsenic and antimony are classified in C01G, production of the elements themselves is covered by C22B, as well as the production of their compounds by metallurgical processes. Multi-step processes for surface treatment of metallic material involving at least one process provided for in class C23 and at least one process covered by subclass C21D or C22F or class C25 1 | non_poster |

Filtering Numerical Noise Using Convolutional Autoencoders Paul Keil1,2,3, Vera Sidorenko4, Ekaterina Bagaeva4 1German Climate Computing Center DKRZ, Hamburg, Germany; ² Helmholtz AI, Germany; 3Helmholtz Center Hereon, Gesthacht, Germany; 4Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhaven, Germany PART 1: PROOF OF CONCEPT Problem Fluid dynamic models often produce artefacts that are related to the numerical methods used for discretization (Fig 1a). Classical approaches to filter these artefacts in a postprocessing step (like elliptic inversion and Fourier-based filtering) can be computationally expensive and falsely remove physical phenomena. Approach We use a lightweight convolutional autoencoder that learns to encode the physical characteristics and discards the numerical artefacts. In this example, the encoder and the decoder both have three convolutional layers with approximately 2000 trainable parameters. Results Noise at small scale wavelengths is filtered out while the kinetic energy at large scale wavelengths is approximately preserved (1b and 3). Using only convolutional and pooling layers without fully connected layers combats overfitting and makes the autoencoder lightweight and easy to train. Fig 1: Original zonal water velocity (a) and zonal water velocity filtered with the convolutional autoencoder (b) from an idealised baroclinic channel simulation. The channel width is 4.5 degrees. Fig 2: Frequency spectrum of kinetic energy. Blue show the raw simulation output and orange the kinetic energy calculated from water velocity that was filtered using the convolutional autoencoder. | non_poster |

Citation patterns of Cochrane versus Non-Cochrane systematic reviews: a bibliometric analysis Louise Olsbro Rosengaard, Mikkel Zola Andersen, Jacob Rosenberg, Siv Fonnes Background. Cochrane Systematic Reviews are well-known for their rigorous methodology and high-quality evidence synthesis in biomedical research. However, they require a lot of time and effort to produce. It is uncertain whether Cochrane Reviews are more frequently cited in the literature compared with non-Cochrane reviews. Objective. We aimed to examine the different citation patterns of Cochrane versus non- Cochrane systematic reviews through a bibliometric analysis. Methods. This bibliometric analysis followed the bibliometric reviews of the biomedical literature (BIBLIO) reporting guideline. We collected data on systematic reviews published between 1993–2022 in PubMed. Cochrane Reviews were identified by linking PubMed records to the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews through their Digital Object Identifier. To allow time for the reviews to gather citations, we included reviews from 1993– 2018. Citation count per year was collected from The Lens through an Application Programming Interface and cross-referred with the systematic reviews using their PubMed identifier. We conducted the statistical analyses using R software and performed subgroup analyses by dividing data into five-year intervals to account for increased number of publications over time. Results. We included 13,002 Cochrane Reviews and 106,250 non-Cochrane reviews and the five million citations of these. The non-Cochrane reviews had a higher number of median citations from 1993−2007 (median difference 1993–1997: 78 [95% CI 44–88], 1998–2002: 40 [95% CI 28–40], 2003–2007: 12 [95% CI 4–12]). From 2013–2018, Cochrane Reviews had a higher number of median citations (median difference 4 [95% CI 2–5]) (Figure 1), while the volume of non-Cochrane reviews increased drastically (Figure 2). There were 29 (0.31%) Cochrane Reviews that had received zero citations compared with 1,197 (1.12%) non- Cochrane reviews (difference 0.82% [95% CI 0.69–0.95%], p < 0.01). | non_poster |
Determinants of Extended Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Stay at Hermina Hospital Sukabumi Ridha Ramdani.1, Nadia A.1, Nabila Y.1, A.M. Rifky1, Indra S.2 General Department, Hermina Hospital Sukabumi, West Java Pediatric Department, Hermina Hospital Sukabumi, West Java • Prolonged hospitalization in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) escalates healthcare costs and may potentially expose neonates to further complications • Aim: to identify the significant predictors influencing the length of stay (LOS) in the NICU at Hermina Hospital Sukabumi to facilitate efficient resource optimization • Employing retrospective cohort design, we reviewed the medical records of all neonatal admissions (July 1, 2022, to July 1, 2023). • Length of stay was evaluated against several factors: gender, birth weight, mode of delivery, maternal pregnancy status, pregnancy complications, patient origin, APGAR scores, and Downe Scores. • Descriptive and inferential statistics were computed using SPSS version 29, with linear regression models aiding in bivariate and multivariate analyses. • Among the 156 samples, birth weight and APGAR scores emerged as significantly associated with LOS (p-values 0.003 and 0.015, respectively). The other predictors did not reveal a significant association. • T-test: suggested a partial impact on birth weight and APGAR scores (t-values surpassing the critical t-value, with respective p-values < 0.001 and 0.014). • Multiple regression analysis further indicated that all predictors collectively explained 19.3% of the LOS variation. Background Methods Conclusions Results • Birth weight and APGAR scores significantly contribute to prolonged NICU stay. • Efforts towards effective neonatal resuscitation could improve APGAR scores and subsequently reduce the LOS, enhancing overall neonatal outcomes.

On the role of intrastriatal connectivity among SPNs and interneurons and its effect on population activity The role of intrastriatal connectivity between SPNs and interneurons is largely unknown and how these are modulated by dopamine. As part of a further development of Hjorth et al. 2020 (PNAS) and Frost Nylen et al. 2021, where Snudda and neuromodulatory simulation tools were developed. To investigate the intrastriatal connectivity, we used Snudda and tools of neuromodulatory simulation, to assemble and simulated the following: ● A network of 10 000 striatal neurons with appropriate density and connectivity We investigated: Ablation ● We ablated connections between different neuron types and measure the effect on network activity Population unit ● We simulate specific cortical input to two populations within the network with different degrees of spatial overlap ● We simulate dopaminergic modulation of ion channels (D1 and D2 type-receptors) on the striatal microcircuit ● Measure the effect of dopaminergic modulation on the proportion of activate dSPN och iSPN within the population units Dendritic plateau potentials ● We investigate the effect of dopaminergic modulation on plateau potentials in dSPN and iSPN Johanna Frost Nylen1, JJ Johannes Hjorth2, Wilhelm Thunberg1, Alexander Kozlov2, Ilaria Carannante2, Jeanette Hellgren Kotaleski2, Sten Grillner1 1Department of Neuroscience, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm 2Science for Life Laboratory, School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm Striatal microcircuit in silico: from experimental data to computer simulations | non_poster |

MANIOBRA COOPERATIVA STOP & GO PARA VEH´ICULOS AUTOMATIZADOS BASADA EN ENTORNO VIRTUAL Y REAL Carlos Hidalgo1 , Mauricio Marcano 2,3, Gerardo Fern´andez 1, Joshu´e P´erez 3, Myriam Vaca 3 1Universidad Sim´on Bol´ıvar, Caracas, Venezuela 2Universidad del Pa´ıs Vasco, Bilbao, Espa˜na 3Tecnalia Research & Innovation, Viscaya, Espa˜na carlos.hidalgo424@gmail.com, mauricio.marcano@tecnalia.com, gfernandez@usb.ve, joshue.perez@tecnalia.com, myriam.vaca@tecnalia.com Resumen La implementaci´on de maniobras cooperativas en- tre veh´ıculos automatizados es una necesidad den- tro del progreso de los Sistemas Avanzado de Asis- tencia al Conductor (ADAS). Sin embargo, el desarrollo de estas estrategias en veh´ıculos reales depende de la disponibilidad de un m´ınimo de pla- taformas experimentales, que involucran elevados costos y tiempos de pruebas. En este sentido, el presente trabajo presenta una herramienta para el dise˜no de la maniobra cooperativa Stop & Go, ha- ciendo uso de un entorno virtual para la simula- ci´on de un veh´ıculo l´ıder, junto con un veh´ıculo el´ectrico automatizado que realiza el seguimiento dentro de un circuito cerrado. Para el dise˜no de la maniobra se establecer´a comunicaci´on V2V en- tre ambas plataformas, las cuales ejecutan una ar- quitectura general de conducci´on automatizada. El algoritmo de seguimiento est´a basado en un con- trolador de l´ogica difusa dependiente de la veloci- dad del veh´ıculo l´ıder y la distancia entre ambos coches. Los resultados demuestran la utilidad de combinar ambos entornos de prueba para la valida- ci´on de maniobras cooperativas reduciendo el costo y el tiempo en comparaci´on con pruebas reales. Palabras clave: Maniobras Cooperativas, Stop & Go, Conducci´on Automatizada, L´ogica Difusa. 1. INTRODUCCI´ON En la actualidad m´as de 1,25 millones de personas mueren cada a˜no como consecuencia de acciden- tes de tr´ansito y aproximadamente 50 millones su- fren traumatismos no mortales, los cuales puedan llegar a producir alguna discapacidad [3]. Dichos siniestros son causados, en su mayor´ıa por la im- prudencia del ser humano. En este sentido, diferentes Sistemas Avanzados de Asistencia al Conductor (ADAS) han sido inte- grados dentro de los Sistemas de Transporte Inte- ligente (ITS), con el objetivo de aumentar la se- guridad, la eficiencia y la comodidad durante la conducci´on. Sin embargo, al d´ıa de hoy, esta tec- nolog´ıa carece de robustez y ha sido causa de ac- cidentes mortales [18]. En este orden de ideas, las maniobras cooperati- vas surgen como una soluci´on que permite a˜nadir confiabilidad a los nuevos sistemas de conducci´on automatizadas, permitiendo que el veh´ıculo cuente con mayor informaci´on del entorno, provista por los diferentes agentes que conforman el sistema de tr´ansito vial. Este tipo de maniobras requiere que los veh´ıcu- los est´en interconectados. Para esto se emplean los sistemas de comunicaci´on vehiculares [5], que se pueden clasificar en distintos tipos: veh´ıculos con veh´ıculos (V2V), veh´ıculos con infraestructu- ras (V2I), o una combinaci´on de los distintos in- tegrantes de los ITS (V2X), etc [2]. Estos siste- mas permiten una gran versatilidad y efectividad al realizar las maniobras, debido a sus distintas ca- racter´ısticas: la alta velocidad en el intercambio de datos, su rango de alcance, eficacia en reconexi´on, entre otras. No obstante, aunque esta estrategia presenta dis- tintas soluciones a los problemas de conducci´on automatizada, su validaci´on requiere de mayores recursos por la necesidad de contar con un m´ıni- mo de dos veh´ıculos, adem´as de los riesgos que involucra probar algoritmos en situaciones de al- ta congesti´on, o en las que se tenga que frenar de manera urgente, como es el caso de la maniobra de Stop & Go [13]. La maniobra de Stop & Go presenta alto riesgo, ya que las acciones del movimiento del veh´ıculo no dependen de s´ı mismo, sino de las realizadas por el veh´ıculo delantero, por lo cual, ante alguna falla o comp | non_poster |
‘Reincarnation’ as Design Experience for the Sake of Product’s Emotions Şölen Kipöz, Department of Fashion Design, İzmir University of Economics – Türkiye Erdem Akan, Maybe Design – Türkiye Abstract The life of products and the life of human beings are related to each other at a deeper level than it's assumed in general. Products, that make us happy, let us (re)think and ease our daily-life, actually have their own life. During the stages of design to production, usage to recycle, all their collected experiences re-shape them. In addition to sustainable sensitivity to keep products and their components in circulation, the product’s emotional life could also be extended by giving it a chance of rebirth for the spiritual continuation. This paper argues the possible ways of extending emotional life of products non-used during after- use for re- use.Rather than applying the re-use practices like recycle , vintage ,retro , second-hand , the reincarnation of the product’s soul in another body of design is proposed for new emotional experiences. The project based research has been conducted in Department of Fashion Design in Izmir University of Economics in 2003 based on a project titled as ‘ reincarnation’ designed and produced by one of the authors of this paper . Keywords: Reincarnation , re-use , anti-fashion ,emotional lifecyle Introduction By the end of their physical lifespan or after-use , the products either become trash or are gained to production as raw materials. Some of them are left as they are until their antique values are reinvented,or become subject to various re-use practices, through recycling their materials or freezing their dead bodies as they are . But the products have souls which are blown by designer and/or producer and developed by their users. Mc Donough& Braungart (2002:65) question practices of traditional recyling for a possible cradle –to –cradle model: ‘Pure recycling acting like an efficient medicine for physical body lacks the soul. In a philosophical sense efficiency depends on a larger system of which it is a part. Pure efficiency lacks spiritual ,beauty, creativity, fantasy , inspiration and poetry .’ | non_poster |

We fill the gap by investigating face uniqueness, which is the distinctiveness of a face within a population, as a proxy for robustness against adversarial examples. By generating malicious input that escapes face verification, a dodging attack, we show a correlation between the amount of perturbation needed for successfully attacking a user and their uniqueness within a dataset. Our experiments span over multiple networks under a realistic threat model, indicating that unique users are significantly more resilient to gradient- based attacks than non-unique ones. Index Terms—component, formatting, style, styling, insert 1. Introduction Unique faces are those that are decidedly different from the rest of the population while being easy to recog- nize [1]. In modern face recognition, biometric uniqueness is directly affected by the separation between two distribu- tions: the scores originated from matching two samples of the same user, i.e. the genuine distribution, and the scores derived from matching samples of different users, i.e. the impostor distribution. It is well known that different faces exhibit varying performance within a system [2], which is linked to their relative uniqueness within a dataset. These performance are mainly expressed in terms of False Acceptance Rate (FAR), which comes from the mislabeling of a user, and False Rejection Rate (FRR), which is failing to match two samples of the same user. Identifying groups of users who contribute disproportionately to a type of error can uncover their vulnerabilities, eventually improving their resilience. The Doddington’s Zoo [3], shown in Fig. 1, is the first attempt to categorize users based on their verification performance, dividing between the score dis- tribution of classes that cause the errors (goats, lambs, and wolves) and the distribution of the average user (sheep). The existence of these classes was later confirmed for a number of biometric modalities, including faces, and expanded to new classes in a concept known as biometric menagerie [2]. However, studies on the menagerie are usually dis- connected from those on the security of modern face recognition. The advent of deep learning has boosted face Sheep Average Genuine Similarity Average Impostor Similarity Lambs Wolves Goats Vulnerabilty to Attack Figure 1. The four major classes of the Doddington’s Zoo with, overlapped in the background, the vulnerability to evasion attacks. matching accuracy while broadening the threat surface. The assumption that training and test data are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) has proven to be hard to satisfy in practice, hence shifts in the data distribution affect algorithm performance and lead to poor generaliza- tion. In a malicious setting, imperceptible modifications known as adversarial examples can fool a system into assigning the wrong label to its input [4]. This shift represents a violation of the i.i.d. assumption, contributing to the overall FAR and FRR of a system in a way previously not envisioned by animal categorizations like the Doddington’s Zoo. Users who are contributing to the errors of a system (e.g. goats and lambs) need to be reconsidered in light of the novel threats posed by dataset shifts. In our analysis we use a measure of uniqueness based on entropy to gather novel insights on the robustness of face recognition systems against adversarial examples. Motivated by modern tools [5], we construct a realistic yet simplified scenario of imag | non_poster |

We summarize the status of the project and we present its most important results. The Villafranca project has been used to produce a new astrometric calibration for Gaia (E)DR3, which improves the previous one significantly for bright stars. We have discovered that dynamical interactions among massive stars at a very young age (∼1 Ma or less) can play a significant interaction in the dynamical evolution of clusters. As a consequence, our current view of the massive-star IMF may be distorted and the number of free-floating neutron stars and black holes higher than previously con- sidered. 1 Motivation and summary The Villafranca project aims to characterize Galactic stellar groups with OB stars, that is, bound (clusters) or unbound (associations or parts thereof) ensembles of young massive stars born together. It is a long-term project designed to study the massive stellar popu- lation of the solar neighborhood and derive its properties: spatial distribution, kinematics, IMF, and relationship with the ISM. Those goals are being achieved by combining astromet- ric, photometric, and spectroscopic information from Gaia and ground-based surveys, both spectroscopic such as GOSSS (Ma´ız Apell´aniz et al. 2011), LiLiMaRlin (Ma´ız Apell´aniz et al. 2019), ALS (Pantaleoni Gonz´alez et al. 2021), and WEAVE (Jin et al. 2023), and photometric such as GALANTE (Ma´ız Apell´aniz et al. 2021a) and MUDEHaR (Holgado et al. 2025). In this poster we summarize the work in the Villafranca papers, provide the basic information for the 42 groups studied so far in Table 1, describe the most significant results, and anticipate our future work. | non_poster |

1 Investigating an Appropriate Design for Personal Firewalls Abstract Personal firewalls are an important aspect of security for home computer users, but little attention has been given to their usability. We conducted semi-structured interviews to understand participants’ knowledge, requirements, expectations, and misconceptions for personal firewalls. Analysis of 10 interviews shows that different design decisions (i.e., level of automation, multiple profile settings) are appropriate for users with different levels of security knowledge and experience. Keywords Usable security, personal firewall. ACM Classification Keywords H.5.2 Information Interfaces and Presentation: User Interfaces-User-centered design; D.4.6 Software: Security and Protection-Information flow controls Introduction Since the introduction of enterprise-level firewalls in the late 1980s, firewalls have been an important aspect of security. There are seven types of firewalls [10]; we focus on personal firewalls, designed for non-experts. Personal firewalls are “the first line of defense” for personal computers [6] and are found in mainstream operating systems. Personal firewalls check the traffic flowing between a computer and the network and, based on settings, allow or block elements of traffic. Copyright is held by the author/owner(s).

1 The Variational Iteration Method and the Homotopy Perturbation Method to the Exact Solution of the generalized Burgers-Fisher Equation By: Mohsen Soori University: Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic), Tehran, Iran Date: 21 July 2018 Composition of the Jury: Prof. S. Salman Nourazar Department of Mechanical Engineering, Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic) Dr. Akbar Nazar-Golshan Department of Mechanical Engineering, Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic) Abstract: The exact solution of Burgers-Fisher equation is obtained by using the Variational Iteration Method (VIM) and the Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM). To present accuracy as well as reliability of the methods in finding the exact solution of the equation, a comparison is also made between obtained results. The study proves that the methods are effective and powerful algorithms with acceptable accuracy in order to obtain the exact solution of Burgers-Fisher equation as a non-linear differential equation. Keywords: Burgers-Fisher equation, Variational Iteration Method, Homotopy Perturbation Method, Nonlinear differential equations 1. Introduction In order to describe behavior and effects of many phenomena in the different field of science as well as engineering, the functional equations such as linear and nonlinear partial differential equations, integral and integro-differential equations and stochastic equations are used. The investigation for the exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations plays an important role in the study of nonlinear physical phenomena. Most of the equations do not have analytical solution which can be handled by semi-analytical methods. To obtain exact solution of nonlinear differential equations, semi-analytical methods such as the Variational Iteration Method (VIM) and Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) can be considered. They are powerful algorithms in solving various kinds of linear and nonlinear equations. The ideas of the VIM and HPM were first pioneered by He [1,2]. In order to solve autonomous ordinary differential equation as well as delay differential equation, the VIM is applied by He [3,4]. Also, application of the HPM in solving the non-linear non-homogeneous partial differential equations is presented by He [5]. The homotopy perturbation method is used by Nourazar et al. [6-8] in order to obtain exact solution of nonlinear differential equations. Application of the Variational Iteration Method and the Homotopy Perturbation Method to the Fisher Type Equation is presented by Soori et al. [9]. To solve Burgers‐Fisher equation, new implementation of radial basis functions is presented by Tatari et al. [10]. Also, Zhao et al. [11] presented application of Chebyshev–Legendre pseudo-spectral method to the generalised Burgers–Fisher equation. The investigation into the exact solutions of the generalized time-delayed Burgers–Fisher equation with positive fractional power terms is presented by Zhang et al. [12]. The Burgers-Fisher equation is uncovered by Johannes Martinus Burgers and Ronald Aylmer Fisher. Behaviors of many physical systems encountered in modeling of various mechanisms lead to the generalized Burgers– | non_poster |

Poster: The impact of public data during de-anonymization: a case study Kevin De Boeck, Jenno Verdonck, Michiel Willocx, Jorn Lapon, Vincent Naessens imec-DistriNet KU Leuven Ghent, Belgium firstname.lastname@kuleuven.be Abstract—Many companies, non-profit organizations and governmental bodies collect personal information during service interactions. However, releasing sensitive personal data may impose huge privacy risks. First, an increasing amount of sensitive personal information becomes publicly available online after user consent. Moreover, data breaches may result in huge data dumps that can contain personal records of millions of individuals. Hence, malicious entities are able to scrape, collect and combine personal data from multiple sources in order to compile detailed profiles of many individuals. This paper demonstrates the impact of publicly available data during de-anonymization by means of a concrete case study. Journalists are often reluctant or even prohibited to release the identity of suspects or victims in criminal cases. They do, however, often release initials and background (such as their age and residential location). Through a large scale study of over 132.000 news articles, this paper demonstrates that currently applied privacy measures are often insufficient and straightforward re-identification strategies can de-anonymize individuals. Index Terms—Privacy, re-identification, data breaches 1. Introduction Today, many companies and services we interact with in our daily lives collect data about individuals. Based on the acquired data, companies are able to offer personalized advertisements to customers and to build models to im- prove their service. Online service providers store prefer- ences and personal interests for recommendations. While this is very convenient to end-users, huge data sources pose serious risks to our privacy. Besides data sources that are already publicly available online (e.g. social media and the whitepages), huge data breaches occur frequently. These breaches often result in huge amounts of personal data collected by services and companies being dumped on the internet. Entities with doubtful or malicious intents can compile these dumps and scrape publicly available data in order to gain information on a large set of individuals. These data sources can in their turn be applied as background knowledge to perform large-scale re-identification attacks. For example, an anonymized dataset can be linked to the aforementioned publicly available datasets to support de- anonymization. This work presents a practical use-case in which the negative impact of public data on the privacy of individ- uals is demonstrated. In news articles about crime-related cases, journalists are often reluctant or even prohibited to release the exact name and details of potential subjects or victims. They do however often opt to provide the reader with contextual information about these individuals. Ex- amples are (partial) initials, the age and their residential location. If only the information in the newspaper was publicly available, only relatives would be able to de- anonymize individuals based on the info included in the article. However, due to the multiple publicly available data sources, interested readers can often quite easily re- identify a large set of individuals. Contribution. This paper assesses the impact of pub- lic data for re-identification purposes. Firstly, this work categorizes publicly available data sources. Next, the neg- ative impact of these data sources is assessed by means of a large-scale case study, namely the automatic re- identification anonymized individuals in news articles. Experimental results are presented and evaluated. The remainder of this work is structured as follows. Section 2 points to related work. Section 3 provides a general overview of public data sources. Next, our case study is presented in more detail. Preliminary results are discussed in section 5. This p | non_poster |

DHBenelux 2024 poster: Refugee Policy in 1970s Archives Sara Cosemans (KU Leuven) Philip Grant (independent researcher) Ratan Sebastian (Leibniz University, Hannover) Marc Allassonière-Tang (Museum of Natural History, Paris) revised April 2024 Summary Using as a case study our publication on textual analysis of United Nations and government archives relating to refugee policy (Grant et al., 2021), we examine our interdisciplinary collaboration across history, computer vision and compu- tational linguistics through the lens of “before / during / after”. This reflection delves into how we identified research questions conducive to breaking down silos, how interdisciplinary interactions shaped the project as it progressed; and how it shaped our perspectives on future Digital Humanities (DH) endeavours? 1 Finding collaborative research questions The work had its genesis in discussions between the authors at the 2019 Digital Humanities Oxford Summer School, and our search for a productive collabora- tive project. We identified historical archival research into refugee protection policy in the 1970s as fertile ground for DH techniques: with volumes of data too large for exhaustive close reading, text-mining methods for “distant reading” are valuable in guiding historians to areas for focused study. While digitization of typewritten historical documents seemed straightforward in theory, challenges such as imperfect Optical Character Recognition (OCR) - due to various factors like the degradation of the physical medium over time, inconsistent formats, and handwritten annotations - posed hurdles in practice. We identified two areas where digital techniques could enhance historical inquiry: (1) topic modelling to identify broad themes in the documents, and how these evolved over time; (2) computer vision to improve the performance of OCR, particularly around identifying the dates stamped on UK government documents. The research questions we asked about the content were: 1 | non_poster |
TAXONOMIAS CORPORATIVAS COMO FERRAMENTA PARA OTIMIZAÇÃO DA GESTÃO DE DADOS CORPORATE TAXONOMIES AS A TOOL FOR OPTIMIZING DATA MANAGEMENT DATA DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11181861 1 INTRODUÇÃO Na contemporânea economia baseada no conhecimento, muitas empresas passaram a reconhecer seus dados como um ativo vital para a organização. Isto se deve ao fato de que dados e informações podem oferecer insights e oportunidades para criar vantagens competitivas. Apesar disso, poucas organizações gerenciam ativamente os dados com um ativo do qual podem obter valor contínuo. Frente à atual situação das organizações, a necessidade de se garantir o acesso e recuperação eficiente à informação é ressaltada como requisito fundamental para realização das atividades e estratégias organizacionais. As taxonomias corporativas, por exemplo, atuam como ferramentas de recuperação (Aganette, 2010). A problemática da pesquisa surgiu da experiência prática de uma das autoras, em que suas vivências pessoais e profissionais, relacionadas ao contexto em análise, desempenharam um papel fundamental na interpretação dos fenômenos observados. Este estudo tem o objetivo de evidenciar a importância das taxonomias corporativas e propor sua implementação como uma ferramenta estratégica essencial para otimizar a gestão eficaz de dados em ambientes corporativos. Este resumo é parte de uma pesquisa mais abrangente no âmbito do mestrado, que está em fase inicial. | non_poster |

POSTER: Towards Cyber Resilience of Cyber-Physical Systems using Tiny Twins Fereidoun Moradi* M¨alardalen University V¨aster˚as, Sweden fereidoun.moradi@mdu.se Sara Abbaspour Asadollah M¨alardalen University V¨aster˚as, Sweden sara.abbaspour@mdu.se Marjan Sirjani M¨alardalen University V¨aster˚as, Sweden marjan.sirjani@mdu.se Abstract—We propose a method to detect attacks on sensor data and control commands in cyber-physical systems. We develop a monitor module that uses an abstract digital twin, Tiny Twin, to detect false sensor data and faulty control commands. The Tiny Twin is a state transition system that represents the observable behavior of the system. The monitor observes the sensor data and the control commands transmitted in the network, walks over the Tiny Twin and checks whether the observed data and commands are con- sistent with the transitions in the Tiny Twin. The monitor produces an alarm when an attack is detected. The Tiny Twin is built automatically based on a timed actor code of the system. We demonstrate the method and evaluate it in detecting attacks using a temperature control system. Index Terms—Monitoring, Model Checking, Cyber-Physical Systems, Attack Detection and Prevention, Cyber-Security 1. Introduction Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are safety-critical sys- tems that integrate physical processes in the industrial plants (e.g., thermal power plants or smart water treatment plants) with sensors, actuators and controller components. Since these components are integrated via a communica- tion network (usually wireless), a CPS is vulnerable to malicious cyber-attacks that may cause catastrophic dam- age to the physical infrastructure and processes. Cyber- attacks may be performed over a significant number of attack points and in a coordinated way. So, detecting and preventing attacks in CPSs are of significant importance. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) are deployed in communication networks to defend the system against cyber-attacks. Regular IDSs cannot easily catch complex attacks. They need to be equipped with complicated logic, based on human (safety and security engineers) reason- ing [1]. In rule-based IDSs [1], a set of properties that are extracted from the system design specification are considered as rule-sets to detect attacks. Indeed, if an IDS finds a deviation between the observed packets in the network and the defined rules, it produces an alarm and takes a predefined action such as dropping the packets. The key challenge is the effort required to specify the correct system behavior as rules. 2. Overview We propose a method to detect cyber-attacks on sensor data and control commands in CPSs.

Step (1), we generate the state space of the Timed Rebeca code of a CPS by the Afra model checker (see Sec. 3). Step (2), the state space is abstracted by our abstraction tool (see Sec. 4). The result of the abstraction is a Tiny Twin that is used within a monitor module (see Sec. 5) to detect the attacks. Step (3), we develop the monitor module in LF language and use the LF compiler to generate an executable file. our method is shown in Figure 1. The model of a CPS is developed in Timed Rebeca [2] and the Afra model checker [3] is used to verify the model (step (1) in Fig- ure 1). In [4], it is shown that how entities of a CPS, i.e., sensors, actuators, controllers, and physical plant are mod- eled as actors, and interactions between them are modeled as messages passed between the actors. We develop an abstraction tool (step (2) in Figure 1) that abstracts the state space of the Timed Rebeca model (generated by Afra model checking tool) to create a Tiny Twin (TT) [5].

Undergraduate design seniors in a Visual Communication Design program were introduced to principles and case examples of branding. During the first half of the course, project teams focused on the discovery and identification of design opportunities. In the second half of the course, each student explored and developed his/ her own brand design concept, resulting in a strategic and creative packaging design application. The exercises inspired students not only to approach a design project as an aesthetic and emotional expression but also to look to branding in a broader sense as a process for fostering innovation, unity, relevance, and clarity rather than a narrow view of persuasion, seduction, and consumption.

DOI string from ACM form confirmation Abstract The use of films in early stages of the design of technology is a practice that is becoming increasingly common. How- ever, the focus of these films is usually centred on exploring the technology and its specifications rather than on the ex- periences that the technology can potentially create for its user. Previous research emphasises the relevance of ex- periences created by the technology in the users arguing that the emotions should be taken into account during early design stages and made part of the design itself. In this pa- per we provide a step-by-step production pipeline on how to make your own design fiction film, and how you can get the experiences across. For this purpose we focus on the ex- periences and emotions that a specific interaction medium elicits. We gained inspiration from the increased exploration of olfactory experiences in HCI. We used a classification of smell experiences as a starting point to produce a design fiction film for the automotive context, not limited by technol- ogy but inspired by experiences.

Schema.org Approach The “variableMeasured” property can document variables included in a “Dataset”... as text or objects that include an identifier, and a structured description using so:PropertyValue, or a simple so:Text value. See detailed discussion document in GitHub Related Issue and discussion in Science On Schema.org github Basic: Use PropertyValue name and description for text description; use propertyID to provide a resolvable identifier for the variable. Rich variable description with Schema.org Recommendations Why? • Support more efficient discovery of data • Help users evaluate data and determine fitness for use Define best practices for use of so:variableMeasured property with so:Dataset Type Goal: In a Nutshell: • Provide Variable name, with text description • Provide Unique identifier for Variable: improve interoperability, avoid ambiguity in identifying the variable. • Support Indexing by Google Dataset Search if expressed as JSON-LD in <HEAD> • Use of only a simple so:Text value with so:variableMeasured is NOT RECOMMENDED Notes on propertyID The propertyID value can be an array, recognizing that there might be identifiers for variables at different conceptual levels, e.g. conceptual, representation/logical, or instance/implementation, or that the property concept might have identifiers in vocabularies used by different communities. propertyID values should include at least one http URI that can be resolved on the Web to yield an in-depth property description such as that included with CF names, EnvO, or a Scientific Variables Ontology, e.g. http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_04000002, ideally including a machine-readable representation. Clients that recognize the propertyID identifier, or extract useful information from its representation, can better understand what the PropertyValue represents. Simple Numeric Data: For variables with numeric values, additional properties of so:PropertyValue defined by schema.org should be used to provide a more complete description useful to support evaluation of a dataset for an intended use unitText. A string that identifies a unit of measurement that applies to all values for this variable. unitCode. Value is expected to be TEXT or URL. We recommend providing an HTTP URI that identifies a unit of measure from a vocabulary accessible on the web. The QUDT unit vocabulary (http://qudt.org/vocab/unit) provides an extensive set of registered units of measure that can be used. minValue. If the value for the variable is numeric, this is the minimum value that occurs in the dataset. Not useful for other value types. maxValue. If the value for the variable is numeric, this is the maximum value that occurs in the dataset. Not useful for other value types. measurementTechnique. A text description of the measurement method used to determine values for this variable. If standard measurement protocols are defined and registered, these can be identified via http URI's. Variable description using an external vocabulary: If a variable Type is well-described in some external vocabulary, such as SWEET, SVO, SSN, DDI, EnvO etc., its URI reference can be given as the so:propertyID of the PropertyValue instance. If this approach is used, the so:PropertyValue/so:description text should contain text describing the variable scope etc. The dcat:conformsTo property can be asserted in the so:PropertyValue to identify a profile used for extending the description. Variables with non-numeric values: Use the Quantity, Units of Measure, Dimensions and Types (QUDT) ontology (http://qudt.org/) qudt:dataType as a property on so:PropertyValue to specify the kind of data value for that property in the described dataset. The qudt schema does not constrain the domain or range of the qudt:dataType property. XML datatypes are recommended to populate the qudt:dataType property for simple literal values. Schema.org also provides Types for describing: Person, Place, Event, Date, DateTime and other common non-numeric | non_poster |

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. | non_poster |
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 | non_poster |

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 | non_poster |

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. | non_poster |

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 | non_poster |

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).

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 | non_poster |
