Collaborative Evaluation of In Silico Predictions for High Throughput Toxicokinetics OBJECTIVES APPROACH MAIN RESULTS IMPACT Abstract 358 This work does not necessarily represent the views or policy of the US EPA. Any mention of tradenames does not constitute endorsement. • In silico predictions along with high throughput toxicokinetic (HTTK) methods are needed as in vivo and in vitro measurements are unavailable for thousands of chemicals in commerce and the environment Risk Exposure Hazard Toxicokinetics • To understand toxicokinetics (chemical absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion by the body) in order to help assess public health risk posed by chemicals 101 Chemicals • This collaborative trial uses 101 chemicals with in vivo measured toxicokinetic (TK) data http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4024-534X • Six different sets of in silico (QSAR) tools for predicting TK were evaluated • Predicted parameters and plasma concentrations (from generic PBTK model) were compared with empirical data • Models generally predicted consistently for in vitro measurements across chemicals; however, accuracies predicted for individual chemicals varied. • When combined with a PBTK model (httk, https://cran.r- project.org/package=httk) to predict plasma concentration, the models performed similarly across all 101 chemicals (CvTdb, https://github.com/USEPA/CompTox-PK-CvTdb) • Multiple QSARs exist that make comparably, and reasonably accurate predictions for in vitro TK parameters. • This will allow risk-based prioritization of many thousands of chemicals without in vitro TK data • For more information, contact: John Wambaugh (wambaugh.john@epa.gov) John Wambaugh1 , Nisha Sipes1, Jon Arnot2, Trevor Brown2, Daniel Dawson1, Sarah Davidson1, Michael Devito1, John DiBella4, Stephen Ferguson3, Rocky Goldsmith1, Chris Grulke1, Richard Judson1, Michael Lawless4, Kamel Mansouri5, Grace Patlewicz1, Ester Papa6, Prachi Pradeep1,7, Alessandro Sangion2, Risa Sayre1, Rogelio Tornero-Velez1, Barbara Wetmore1 1.

2021 Congress of the Schizophrenia International Research Society Psychiatric Symptoms Are Differentially Associated with Verbal Fluency Performance in Patients with Schizophrenia and Affective Disorders Submission ID 3007061 Submission Type Poster Topic Clinical Science Submitter Petar Gabrić Affiliation Philipps University of Marburg, Institute for German Linguistics SUBMISSION DETAILS Research Type Human Subjects Research Poster or Oral Presentation Oral Only Background Despite verbal fluency (VF) being a common task in psychiatric research, there is very little consensus on the nature of VF deficits in psychiatric populations and their implications for our knowledge about cognitive and specifically linguistic functioning in these populations. Previous studies have found that negative symptoms, including alogia, are associated with poorer overall VF production in patients with schizophrenia (SCH), while studies investigating positive symptoms, including formal thought disorder, have yielded mixed results. Because most studies didn’t analyze additional VF measures such as clustering and lexical characteristics, it remains unclear whether the association between negative and positive symptoms and VF performance in patients with schizophrenia reflects abnormalities in linguistic and/or semantic processing or other aspects of cognition. Furthermore, it is uncertain whether these associations are specific to patients with schizophrenia, while the associations with manic and depressive symptoms are understudied. Methods We recruited 58 German-speaking inpatients diagnosed with either schizophrenia (N = 36), bipolar disorder (BD; N = 10), or major depression (DEP; N = 12). All patients were assessed on conventional symptom scales including the SANS/SAPS, HAMD, and YMRS, and were further administered the semantic (SF; animals) and letter (LF; P) fluency tasks (60 s). The following dependent variables were analyzed: correct words, error rate, response latencies, switching rate, cluster size, idiosyncratic word production rate, and word frequency. Results BD produced significantly larger clusters and had significantly higher idiosyncratic word production rates on SF compared to both SCH and DEP, while overall word frequency on SF differentiated between all patient groups. Overall negative symptomatology and specifically alogia were negatively associated with overall performance and positively with between-cluster response latencies on SF. Alogia was not significantly associated with other VF variables. Cluster size and overall word frequency on SF were positively associated with depressive and negatively with manic symptoms, idiosyncratic word production rate on SF was positively associated with manic symptoms, while positive symptoms were only negatively associated with the frequency of the first 1 | non_poster |

Proceedings of the XII International Scientific Agricultural Symposium “Agrosym 2021” 911 INFLUENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS ON INSECT POLLINATORS IN NORTHERN SERBIA Zlata MARKOV RISTIĆ1*, Dušanka VUJANOVIĆ2 1University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Sciences, Department of Biology and Ecology, Novi Sad, Serbia 2University of Novi Sad, BioSense Institute, Novi Sad, Serbia. *Corresponding author: zlata.markov@dbe.uns.ac.rs Abstract One of the major consequences of anthropogenic influence is the evident decrease in the diversity and number of insect pollinators. Being highly vulnerable ecosystem service, mainly due to agricultural intensification, the spread of diseases and parasites, and pesticide pollution, loss of pollinator diversity may lead to loss of other species that directly or indirectly rely on them and could have significant economic impacts by reducing crop pollination services. In this study, we examined the relationship between environmental variables (altitude, distance from the nearest agricultural area, grazing intensity, and mowing) on the composition and abundance of pollinator species. Pollinators were sampled on the territory of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina in the Republic of Serbia, on four types of habitats categorised according to the CORINE land cover classification as classes 2.1.1 Non-irrigated arable land, 2.4.3 Land principally occupied by agriculture, with significant areas of natural vegetation, 3.1.1 Broad- leaved forest and 3.2.1 Natural grassland. Our results showed a significant correlation between the composition of pollinator species and the overall set of environmental factors. We found that forest, followed by grassland habitats, had the most diverse pollinator communities. Localities under grazing and mowing appeared to be less diverse in pollinators, whereby agricultural areas had the lowest pollinator diversity. Our findings suggest that the diversity of pollinators is highly influenced by land use and confirm the importance of forest habitats in agricultural landscapes such as Vojvodina Authonomous Province in Serbia as important refuge habitats for foraging and nesting of pollinators. Keywords: pollinator diversity, pollinator abundance, habitat types, land use. Introduction Insect pollinators provide essential ecosystem services by pollinating over 85% of all known plant species (Grimaldi and Engel, 2005; Ollerton et al., 2011). A wide range of plants whose survival depends on pollination include crops, fruits, nuts, vegetables and cereals (Gordon and Davis, 2003; Klein et al., 2007). Furthermore, many plant species are more sensitive to the deficiency of pollinators than to the lack of other resources (Burd, 1994; Ashman et al., 2004). Insect pollination is vital for agricultural food production and sustenance of 80% of wild plant species (Potts et al., 2010). When it comes to the impact of pollination on agricultural production, Williams (1994) states that 84% of the crops grown in Europe are directly dependent on pollination, and Klein et al. (2007) claim that 87 crops, which is 70% of the 124 key plant species that humans use directly in their diet worldwide, have a dependence on insect pollinators. Habitat and climate changes caused by anthropogenic factors have a negative impact on many taxa, including pollinators. Given the declining diversity and abundance of pollinators (Dias et | non_poster |

Como promover a governança ambiental através da tecnologia Resumo Até que ponto é que os cidadãos podem contribuir positivamente para monitorizar os impactos climáticos e avaliar os riscos associados, ajudando desta forma na definição das melhores políticas? De que forma podem ter um papel ativo na implementação das medidas necessárias? Podem as novas tecnologias ter um papel fundamental neste processo, no contexto das “cidades inteligentes”? Procuram-se as respostas a estas questões através de pesquisa bibliográfica e análise de casos. São ainda apresentadas recomendações adicionais para uma política local colaborativa de mitigação e adaptação, com suporte tecnológico e fundamentação na “teoria das práticas”. O cafézinho do Costa Na semana passada (15 de fevereiro de 2018) o primeiro-ministro, António Costa, tomou um café pago pela presidente da Câmara de Matosinhos, que usou créditos das emissões de CO2 poupadas na mobilidade (o carro de serviço é elétrico). Recorreu à aplicação experimental “AYR Credit” desenvolvida pelo CEiiA, um centro de Engenharia e Desenvolvimento de Produto. A ideia é promover benefícios diretos para valorizar comportamentos “amigos do clima”. Introdução Considera-se que não só a governação deverá partilhar responsabilidades com os demais agentes (nos processos de tomada de decisão e execução de políticas), mas que a própria ciência do clima se deverá “abrir” à participação dos cidadãos. As vantagens da implementação de um “modelo de diálogo” passam pela obtenção de informação única, pelo aproveitamento de sinergias, pela credibilização e afirmação do meio e processo científicos, para além da capacitação e empoderamento da sociedade. A ciência cidadã pode ser definida como aquela em que cidadãos voluntários participam na recolha e processamento de dados necessários para uma investigação conduzida por cientistas, sendo muito popular na área do ambiente (Silvertown, 2009). A experiências das últimas décadas demonstra que cidadãos são capazes de fazer avançar o conhecimento científico de forma notável, enquanto simultaneamente aumentam a sua literacia científica (Bonney et al., 2009). Não sendo um fenómeno novo, a ciência cidadã sofreu um impulso decisivo graças ao desenvolvimento tecnológico (Bonney et al., 2014), em especial pela facilidade de acesso à internet e a computadores e interfaces “amigáveis” (ex. smartphones). Atualmente milhares de projetos envolvem milhões de utilizadores. As crescentes infraestruturas que sustentam as tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC) estão ainda na base do surgimento e difusão do conceito de “cidades inteligentes” (Caragliu, Del Bo, & Nijkamp, 2011). Neste contexto pretende-se explorar a gestão urbana orientada por dados, potenciando a digitalização crescente das nossas comunidades, sendo ainda atribuída especial enfâse à importância do capital humano. Desenvolvimento Ciência cidadã do clima: Foi a observação e o raciocínio de um leigo que conduziu pela primeira vez a ciência ao estudo das alterações climáticas (Broecker & Kunzig, 2008). Este contributo é determinante, sendo mesmo considerado o mais importante na área da ciência cidadã (Dickinson et al., 2012). Destaca-se a participação em estudos na área da biologia, incluindo análises de fenologia (ex. alterações nas migrações das aves ou borboletas e nas épocas de floração e frutificação de plantas) e de evolução de ecossistemas e espécies (ex. evolução de corais). Os contributos podem ser tão simples quanto avaliar a abundância de aves junto a alimentadores (http://feederwatch.org) e geram um volume de informação que seria impossível obter por outra via. A comparação de medições de temperatura ao nível local e regional permite por exemplo estudar o efeito de ilhas de calor nas cidades, tendo sido o propósito de uma iniciativa de ciência cidadã com objetivos de comunicação das alterações climáticas (https://goo.gl/VeLbDb).

Mosaic, an openFrameworks based Visual Patching Creative-Coding Platform Emanuele Mazza María José Martínez de Pisón Laboratorio de Luz, Universitat Politècnica de València emanuelemazza@d3cod3.org mpison@pin.upv.es ABSTRACT Mosaic is an open source multiplatform (osx, linux, windows) live coding and visual programming application based on openFrameworks. This paper describes the initial ideas that have driven its development, its internal structure and the basic libraries it is comprised of, the levels of complexi- ty that can be developed with Mosaic, (from beginner, to very complex developments) and the main contributions to the field of live coding/visual programming and also to the field of creative coding teaching/learning. We present the development framework, which integrates two paradigms: visual programming (diagram) and live coding (scripting), to show its features and potential, most significantly, the learning feedback generated through to the relationships it establishes between human-machine. In other words, amplifying access routes to that relationship/interrelation promotes augmented- thinking through feedback. Keywords: Mosaic, openFrameworks, live-coding, visual-programming, creative-coding teaching/learning 1. INTRODUCTION Mosaic is a visual programming and live coding environment, based on openFrameworks. In the data flow environment, the possibility of programming in different scripting languages (Lua, Py- thon, BASH, GLSL) is inserted through specific objects that can be activated simultaneously (see Figure 1). Mixing visual diagram and scripting concepts (diagram and language) allows us to combine the possibilities of two media to offer variable learning curves for variable user levels. Visual pro- gramming helps to understand and visualize schematically what the machine is doing (Tan- imoto 2013, 31-32), because objects show what’s happening with the information flows being generated or modified, which provides a more intuitive and flexible feedback. Scripting, on an- other level, allows us to explore and understand the specific processes that are involved in more detail and more deeply. This hybridization depicts a fertile two-way cross-pollination situation that amplifies the human-machine communication, providing something similar to the benefits introduced by the Dual Coding Theory (Paivio 1990, 57). The project, at alpha stage right now, is being developed through a modular structure of inde- pendent ofxAddons. For example, ofxVisualProgramming is the central code for visual program- ming, and is kept isolated to encourage contributions, simplify error correction and improve the quality of the code, but most of all to encourage a collaborative community-driven development of Mosaic project. Describing all the Mosaic characteristics could be a very complex task (OF and ofxAddons ecosys- tem is extremely large, and the possibility of multiple scripting languages increases its complexi- | non_poster |

Universidade UNIGRANRIO Abstract The Instituto Nacional de Cardiologia (INC), a public tertiary referral cardiology centre located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, aims to structure and organize all available institutional data into one single space that is easily accessible to its workers and also to the wider scientific community and general public. At present, these data are dispersed in different sources, with little acessibility and low safety . International experience suggests the most adequate way to preserve the institutional memory and to diffuse knowledge is through a structure called repository. Technological tools make the creation of a repository easier nowadays. Our Project aims to structure the ATRIUM, INC’s institutional repository . The ATRIUM will store all relevant institutional data and allow members of the public safe and timely access to it.

1 Protocols (1) Experimental protocol overview General experimental procedures (a) For every two days, the cultures are diluted (dilution rate: 1/100) and propagated. (b) For every 30 transfers (~200 generations), samples are frozen, two frozen samples for each culture. (c) For every 30 transfers, population densities are measured. Density measurement/contamination checking are done at transfer 30×N-2, and sample storage is done at transfer 30×N (N = 1, 2, …). The following standards are followed (a) Liquid medium: 0.1M9KB; specifically, M9 buffer supplemented with 1 g/L glycerol and 2 g/L peptone (No.3). This liquid medium was used for selection experiment; 5 mL of broth in 50-mL centrifuge tube (Crystalgen). At the three temperatures used in this study, this medium supports a stationary-phase of 4~6 × 10e8 cells/mL for the ancestral E. coli, and 3~7 × 10e8 cells/mL for the ancestral P. fluorescens. (b) Agar plates: M9KB with X-gal (40 mg/L) and M9KB with X-gal plus kanamycin (100 mg/L), for measurements of population densities; M9KB with X-gal for fitness assays (P. fluorescens); TA agar for fitness assays (E. coli). (2) Transferring (a) Cultures grown in static incubators. (b) Transferring should be made 44-52 hours after the previous transfer. (c) Each fresh microcosm contains 5 mL of nutrient broth. (d) Visually confirm turbidity of each old culture. (e) Vortex cultures and transfer 50 μL of old cultures to new microcosms. (f) For those with migration treatment, after inoculation at each transfer, 50 uL of cultures were moved to each neighboring temperature environment, with the following migration directions: from 19 to 26°C, from 26 to 31°C, from 31 to 26°C, and from 26 to 19°C. (g) Incubate the new microcosms for 48 hours. … Note：Old cultures were not immediately discarded after each transfer. They were kept for another two days. In cases that a microcosm of transfer N+1 did not show growth (presumably due to practical mistakes) or was destroyed for some reasons, we would use the old microcosm (transfer N) to inoculate the microcosm of transfer N+2. (3) Density measurement and storage (a) Density measurement is done every 200 generations (30 transfers). Cultures were diluted in M9 (1/(0.5×10e6) dilution rate) for plating. Culture conditions for plate incubation: E. coli, M9KB agar (with X-gal) at 37°C; P. | non_poster |
1 Students’ Post Plagiarism Experience and Resilience for Quality Research Activities in Nigerian Universities Eseyin, Emmanuel Olorunleke (PhD) Human Capital Policy Department, Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research (NISER) Oyo Road, Ojoo, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria Email: eoeseyin@niser.gov.ng, ephrata4doptimist@yahoo.com Phone: +2347030692687, +2348056873883 Extend Abstract Research and Development (R&D) plays a significant role in the advancement of any nation including Nigeria. Universities in Nigeria are saddled with the fundamental responsibility of carry out research for development aside other duties such as teaching and community development. It is on this ground that students at different levels; undergraduate and postgraduate are mandated to carry out a research project in collaboration with their supervisors as a condition for graduation. This does not only contribute to the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of students’ but also contribute to the development of new knowledge needed for growth and development of the nation. Worrisome is the fact that several research activities both personal and institutional that have been conducted by students and even lecturers have failed the academic integrity test known as plagiarism. Some students have been forced to face disciplinary committees while some others have been forced out of the university. The experience of some students about plagiarism if not properly handled may limit their interest in research activities or contribute to the production of many more research output that will fail this academic integrity test. The theoretical framework upon which this study was anchored was the Theory of Activity developed by Yrjo Engestrom in 1987. This theory points to the fact that communities such as the University and its stakeholders share the same object. However, in between the community and the subject which refer to the individuals, there are rule and then there is also division of labour between the community and the object. Therefore, the whole of these forces must interplay for any meaningful activity to take place in the system. Concepts that are relevant to the study such as the concept of plagiarism and research were succinctly defined. Plagiarism was defined as the act of laying claim to an idea that belongs to someone else without due acknowledgement. Research was also defined as also defined as the process of investigating an existing problem in order to produce new facts.

EDGELESS project aims to leverage the serverless concept in all the layers in the edge-cloud continuum to fully benefit from diverse and decentralised computational resources available on-demand close to where data are produced or consumed. In particular, we aim to realise efficient, transparent horizontal pooling of resources on edge nodes with constrained capabilities or specialised hardware, and to smoothly integrate with cloud resources.

The present study aims to conduct a systematic review of the effects of Tai Chi Chuan on the quality of life of individuals after stroke. A systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. The following databases were used: Pubmed, Embase, Lilacs, Cochrane. The terms used were: stroke, tai chi chuan, chinese traditional exercise, quality of life and randomized controlled trials. This review was limited to randomized clinical trials in the Portuguese, English and Spanish languages from 2014 to 2019. Three studies were selected to participate in the review according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. All articles used the SF-36 questionnaire to assess patients' quality of life before and after therapy. Individuals who participated in the Tai Chi Chuan group achieved improvements in physical perception and mental health, but not superior to other approaches. It is concluded from this review that Tai Chi Chuan exercise has a positive impact on improving the quality of life of individuals after stroke and can be considered an alternative and complementary resource for these individuals. Keywords — Tai Chi Chuan, stroke, quality of life I. INTRODUÇÃO O Acidente Vascular Cerebral (AVC) é um problema de saúde mundial e é descrito como déficit neurológico, resultante de obstrução ou ruptura do suprimento de sangue e seus nutrientes, para uma área do cérebro levando a uma lesão cerebral [1]. A inatividade é um dos maiores problemas relacionados com o declínio da mobilidade pós AVC e programas que evitem o sedentarismo, melhorem a saúde física e mental são muito importantes para esses indivíduos [2]. Muitos estudos mostram que praticar esportes é um método muito eficaz de melhorar a qualidade de vida, pois otimizam a percepção do sujeito em relação à sua vida. Diante disto, os profissionais de saúde têm um papel essencial na promoção da saúde, incentivando a realização de exercícios físicos de forma regular [2] O Tai Chi Chuan é um exercício adequado para pessoas com diferentes idades, condições físicas e de saúde. É um exercício suave e vigoroso com baixo impacto e intensidade que envolve movimentos corporais lentos e contínuos. Além disso, o Tai Chi Chuan tem mostrado efeitos favoráveis na melhoria geral da aptidão cardiorrespiratória, da funcionalidade e na qualidade de vida dos indivíduos [3]. Dessa forma, oferecer qualidade de vida a indivíduos pós AVC por meio do Tai Chi Chuan pode ser um recurso terapêutico viável, de baixo custo e acessível, como também ser facilmente implementado no ambiente da comunidade. II. OBJETIVO O presente estudo tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão sistemática sobre os efeitos do Tai Chi Chuan na qualidade de vida dos indivíduos pós AVC. III.

Dreissena polymorpha Scoica zebra CUM O RECUNOAȘTEM? Familia Dreissenidae, Clasa Bivalvia Este o specie pontocaspică, nativă râurilor și lacurilor conectate Mării Negre, Mării Caspice și a Mării Azov (Birnbaum, 2006; DAISIE, 2006). Invazivă pe cursurile interioare de apă. Moluscă de apă dulce de mărime mica, 3-5 cm, cu cochilie alungită antero-posterior, cu contur triunghiular rotunjit și al cărei nume este dat de desenul dungat în zigzag negru sau cafeniu de pe cochilie. Marginea superioară convexă, cea inferioară dreaptă sau ușor concavă. La exterior cochilia are culoare maronie, lucioasă. Culorile desenului pot varia de la tonuri închise la cele deschise, dar există și exemplare fără dungi. Scoicile zebră adulte încep să se reproducă primăvara când temperatura apei crește (aproximativ 12˚C). Se pot reproduce continuu in habitatele ale căror ape au o temperatură constantă tot anul. Femelele eliberează ouăle în apă iar masculii eliberează sperma după care are loc fertilizarea. Fiecare femelă poate elibera până la 1 milion de ouă în fiecare an. La 3-5 zile după fertilizare o larvă de dimensiuni mici iese din ou. Larva poate înota în amonte (dar nu îndeajuns de puternic pentru a inota împotriva curenților acvatici) și are doar un mic început de cochilie. În următorul stadiu, pe măsură ce crește, își dezvoltă câteva organe interne (inclusiv piciorul musculos) și o protuberanță la articulația cochiliei. După o lună larva se fixează de o suprafață dură. Își folosește piciorul musculos pentru a se deplasa încet, iar atunci când găsește un loc propice se fixează de suprafața respectivă, unde va rămâne până la sfârșitul vieții (3-9 ani). Ultimul stadiu de dezvoltare îl reprezintă metamorfozarea ei în adult. Indivizii adulţi se pot desprinde în mod voluntar pentru a cauta locaţii alternative (Benson şi Raikow, 2008). Pot fi întâlnite la o adâncime de 2-12 m. Le este greu să supraviețuiească în apele puțin adânci, cu valuri sau înghețate. Se opresc din creștere când apele au o temperatură de 3°C, iar rata de creștere și hrănire se accelerează când apele au 20- 25°C. La temperaturi mai ridicate își încetinesc creșterea, iar la temperaturi de 30°C încep să moară. | non_poster |

However, the 2D and 3D hybrid techniques are not just for animated films as they may create assets and environments for video games. Game animation, like film animation, has progressed from 2D to 3D techniques. Furthermore, while a few research and current systems have used interactive storytelling in mobile applications, none has included Augmented Reality (AR) as a feature. The goal of this research was to generally create Adventures of Tammy: Play your Stories, an Interactive Storytelling Mobile Game with Augmented Reality Story Playback. The app was successfully developed through Unity, ARCore, and ARFoundation. A survey was conducted last November 8 and 9, 2021, and administered through the use of Jotform and Google Forms to gather responses from 15 children as target users, 5 basic education teachers, and 5 functionality testers. It was a non-probability survey and it focused on the 5-point Likert Scale with Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor, Very Poor Rating. This study used a mode measure of central tendency; obtaining the most frequent answer—or the mode—per question. Based on the survey results, the objectives of the study were successfully achieved. The proponents were able to develop assets and environments using 2D and 3D hybrid techniques, to implement the developed 2D and 3D hybrid assets and environment, to produce a visually appealing app for children, and to embed an AR technology used for the AR story playback.

Introduction Ebolaviruses are single-stranded negative-sense RNA (ssRNA) viruses in the Filovirus family; Sudan ebolavirus (Orthoebolavirus sudanense) represents one species of this family. They are composed of seven viral proteins: nucleoprotein (NP), polymerase complex component (VP35), matrix protein (VP40), glycoprotein (GP), transcription activator (VP30), second matrix protein (VP42), and polymerase (L). The Ebolavirus genome contains a transcriptional stutter allowing the GP gene to encode a dimeric structural glycoprotein, secreted glycoprotein (sGP) and small nonstructural sGP (ssGP), and full-length GP. Ebolavirus is a type of viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) with an incubation period of 2-21 days. Nextstrain is a publicly available bioinformatics tool for phylogenetic analysis and data visualization of genomic pathogen data. It is powered by a collection of modules called Augur that analyze the genome data and turns it into a readable dataset for Auspice, a server for visualization. Nextstrain’s dashboard allows a user to view phylogenetic trees, phylogeographic maps, and mutation prevalence. During the outbreak, 142 confirmed and 22 probable cases were officially identified. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed at the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Lab using RNA extracted from confirmed cases by either an unbiased method on Illumina technologies, or an amplicon-based method using Oxford Nanopore technologies. Overall, UVRI attempted sequencing on 129 specimens and generated 120 genomes with greater than 90% coverage from 114 unique cases which represent approximately 80% of confirmed cases. As outbreak data were collected, naturally occurring genotypic differences between Mubende cases and other districts became apparent, indicating mutation over time. Uses of these data include: 1. Delineating unknown epidemiological linkages or transmission events 2. Using the calculated intra-outbreak mutation rate to help characterize the source of a future re-emergence event. 3. Visualizing mutation prevalence and the potential impact on vaccine efficacy (Kabakli, 2019) Figure 1.

DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.5946914 Impact of non-volatile compounds on volatiles perception: How proanthocyanidic tannins affect red wine fruity aroma? MARGAUX CAMELEYRE, Georgia Lytra and Jean-Christophe Barbe 1Unité de recherche Œnologie, EA 4577, USC 1366 INRAE, ISVV, Université de Bordeaux, F33882 Villenave d’Ornon France margaux.cameleyre@wanadoo.fr Abstract Previous research on the fruity character of red wines highlighted that the perception of a “fruity pool” of esters was modified by the presence of fruity or non-fruity compounds with synergistic and/or masking effects. Moreover, some works described that non-volatile compounds may have an important impact on wine perception, but also on odorant compounds volatility. The goal of this work was to assess the olfactory consequences of a mixture between esters and proanthocyanidic tannins, through sensory and physico-chemical approaches. Sensory analyses including triangle tests, detection thresholds, and sensory profiles, were conducted in order to evaluate the sensory impact of pure tannins on red wines “fruity pool” perception. Then, the impact of these non-volatile molecules on esters volatility, and thus taster stimulation, was evaluated thanks to the determination of partition coefficients. Triangular test revealed a significant difference on global perception between the fruity pool containing esters and the same fruity pool in mixture with proanthocyanidic tannins. Sensory profiles evaluation showed fruity notes perception were significantly lower for the fruity pool supplemented with tannins compared to the fruity pool alone in dilute alcohol solution. These results confirmed the sensory importance of some non-volatile compounds on odour perception. Finally, esters partition coefficient evaluation revealed a decrease of the volatility of esters when tannins were present in the matrix, thus corroborating sensory evaluation results. Proanthocyanidic tannins decrease esters volatility when they are added in the matrix, thus reducing orthonasal taster stimulation and consequently reducing red wine fruity notes perception. Such a study should be extended to other wine tannins and anthocyanins, including their concentration ranges, to assess the impact of the phenolic matrix on red wines aroma perception. Keywords: red wine, fruity aroma, non-volatile matrix, perceptive interaction Introduction Wine is a very complex aromatic matrix, composed of more than a thousand volatile compounds. This diversity of chemical families gives wine its tremendous aromatic complexity [1]. In red wines, Pineau et al. (2009) showed that at least part of the fruity aroma of red wines resulted from perceptive interactions between several aromatic compounds, particularly ethyl esters and acetates, even if they were present at concentrations below their olfactory thresholds [2]. Thus, these authors identified a 13-ester fruity pool that characterized Bordeaux red wine aromas. Many other examples of perceptive interactions have been highlighted, with synergistic or masking effects on the fruity aromatic expression of wines [3, 4]. The perception of volatiles during sensory analysis is strongly related to the distribution of aromas between the matrix and the gas phase, and may be related to perception during food consumption; thus, the composition of the matrix may considerably influence the rate of release to the gas phase [5, 6]. Various studies have shown the impact of wine compounds on global perception. However, to date, no study has elucidated the role of polyphenols in the fruity perception of red wines, nor in the fruity compounds released from the matrix to the gas phase. Describing the perception mechanism, Berglund et al. (1976) suggested that perceptive interactions occur at four different levels [7]. The first is described as pre-sensory intera | non_poster |

Abstract The upper continental slope of the Storfjorden-Kveithola Trough Mouth Fans (NW Barents Sea) contains a several m-thick late Pleistocene sequence of ice meltwater derived deposits (plumites). Radiocarbon ages revealed that deposition occurred during about 130 years at a very high sedimentation rate of 3.4 cm a-1. Palaeomagnetic and rock magnetic analyses confirm the existence of a prominent, short-living sedimentary event. On the acoustic record the plumites appear laterally continuous and were correlated with the sedimentary sequences described west of Svalbard and neighbouring glacial depositional systems representing a major event at regional scale that was appointed to correspond to the deep-sea sedimentary record of the Meltwater Pulse-1a. Introduction A meltwater pulse (MWP) is a short-lived, global acceleration in sea-level rise resulting from intense front- and subglacial meltwater release, surging ice-streams into oceans and iceberg discharge during ice-sheets disintegration. Four main meltwater pulses have been pointed to have occurred during the last deglaciation phase: MWP-19ka, also known as MWP-1a0, about 19 cal ka BP (Clark et al. 2004); MWP-1a, 14.650- 14.310 cal a BP (Deschamps et al. 2012); MWP- 1b, 11.500-11.000 cal a B.P. (Bard et al. 2010); and MWP-1c at about 8.000 cal a BP (Harris et al. 2008). Of these events, MWP-1a was possibly the most prominent leading to a global sea-level rise of about 20 m in the course of 340 a (Deschamp et al. 2012). Evidences of the existence MWP-1a have been found in many low-latitude areas but straightforward evidence is still lacking in polar areas where the event is thought to have originated. Four ice-sheets are considered as possible candidates responsible for shaping the global sea-level curve: the Laurentide, Fennoscandian, Barents and Antarctic ice-sheets. Scarce and ambiguous evidences of MWP-1a imprints in the polar areas are puzzling and do not help resolve the controversy on its origin. Ten sediment cores collected during the projects SVAIS (2007), EGLACOM (2008), and CORIBAR (2013) on the Storfjorden-Kveithola TMFs (Fig. 1), evidenced the existence of a prominent interlaminated deposit that in the upper slope is over 4.5 m- thick. Sub-bottom profiles indicate that this deposit is continuously distributed over the area reaching thickness of 20 m offshore the Storfjorden lobe III and Kveithola Trough (Fig. 1). The sediments cores were analyses for physical, compositional and palaeomagnetic characteristics. The age model was based on rocks palaeomagnetic parameters and 50 C14 radiometric dating.

En los momentos críticos de las emergencias sanitarias, el equipo médico debe tomar decisiones importantes en un contexto de recursos limitados. En este contexto, los métodos de diagnóstico asistido por ordenador pueden ayudar en esa toma de decisiones, permitiendo identificar a los pacientes de alto riesgo. Esto se puede realizar utilizando información extraída de historiales clínicos electrónicos, tests de laboratorio o estudios de imagen. En este trabajo, presentamos un nuevo método eficiente y totalmente automático para estimar el riesgo de pacientes COVID-19, utilizando la fusión de datos multimodales con características clínicas y características profundas extraídas a partir de imágenes de radiografía torácica. Esta estimación se efectúa en 2 escenarios críticos: riesgo de hospitalización y riesgo de fallecimiento. Los resultados demuestran un gran desempeño por parte de los clasificadores, estimando ambos riesgos con una gran precisión y utilizando únicamente un subconjunto muy reducido de un conjunto de características originales notablemente más extenso. Esta reducción de la dimensionalidad en el conjunto de datos es muy ventajosa en escenarios donde los recursos computacionales son limitados. Este método totalmente automático presenta un potencial prometedor para mejorar el proceso de toma de decisiones clínicas y una mejor gestión de los recursos médicos, no solo en el contexto de la COVID-19 sino también en otros escenarios clínicos.

Risk assessment and mapping of heat-related impacts on public health in an urban area METEO ROMANIA Roxana Bojariu and Zenaida Chițu National Meteorological Administration, Romania METHOD & DATA • We used a risk matrix approach (Papathoma-Koehle et al., 2016) to develop heat-related hazard, impact, and risk maps. • We used satellite-derived land surface temperatures (MODIS LSTs) to cope with the need of having fine horizontal resolution for the climate index. • We have defined the impact index as emergency (paramedic) interventions for daytime and nighttime, from the period June-August 2012-2017 (SMURD – Emergency Situation Inspectorate Bucuresti-Ilfov) and June-August 2018 (Service of Ambulance Bucuresti-Ilfov). • The urban heat island index is defined by the night and day-time averaged values of MODIS-derived LST at 1-km resolution for the the periods June-August 2012-2017 and June-August 2018. • The paramedic interventions related to heat stress were georeferenced and aggregated at 1-km resolution • The risk matrix allows us to define which are the acceptable and non-acceptable levels of heat-related risk under the identified levels of hazard and impact. RESULTS • Both day and nighttime risk maps shows higher levels of risk in the Eastern part of the town, where blocks of flats dominate the urban skyline. • However, it is difficult to attribute these results to a specific factor or set of factors, at this stage. • The results suggest that emergency service and local administration must implement risk reduction measures related to heat stress especially in the administrative units Sectors 2 and Sector 3 of Bucharest. Hazard Impact Risk CONCLUSION However, our exercise has identified several data challenges and suggests ways to define, collect, monitor, and predict specific heat and public health indices in the process of risk reduction management in large urban agglomerations under climate change. CONCLUSION The risk maps for day and nighttime need further work to better capture the hotspots with higher risks of heat stress in Bucharest and to effectively serve urban planners, emergency service and other institutions from central and local administration.

The study highlights the importance of pilgrimage clusters in enhancing the competitiveness of the tourism sector, promoting regional economic growth, and increasing employment opportunities. The article provides a theoretical framework for cluster development, with a special focus on Porter’s cluster theory. The organizational mechanisms include strategic planning, public-private partnerships, and management systems, while the economic mechanisms focus on investment, financing, and marketing strategies. The experience of countries with successful pilgrimage clusters, such as Italy and Spain, is analyzed to identify best practices that can be adapted for Uzbekistan. The article also discusses practical recommendations for forming pilgrimage clusters in Uzbekistan’s historical cities like Bukhara, Samarkand, and Khiva. The study concludes that the successful implementation of pilgrimage clusters can significantly enhance tourism development and contribute to regional economic stability. Keywords pilgrimage clusters, tourism development, organizational mechanisms, economic mechanisms, cluster theory, regional economic growth, public-private partnership, investment and financing, tourism marketing, Uzbekistan's historical cities In the modern economy, the tourism sector is not only a crucial factor for economic development but also plays a significant role in creating new jobs, improving local infrastructure, and enhancing the country's image on the international stage. From this perspective, the formation of pilgrimage clusters in tourist areas is considered one of the innovative methods for developing the tourism sector.

Open and overlooked: the penalties for preprint open access papers and translated journals in citation analysis Paul Donner* *donner@dzhw.eu ORCID: 0000-0001-5737-8483 Department 2 ‘Research System and Science Dynamics’, German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science Studies (DZHW), Germany The citations to open access preprint versions of papers and citations to papers in journals translated to English are not regularly counted in major proprietary citation index databases or in ordinary bibliometric research assessment even though they arguably reflect a true part of a work’s scientific impact. Here we explore the extent of these phenomena using Web of Science data. 1. Introduction Many scientific publications are published as open access preprints, often a considerable time before any eventual formal publication in a scientific journal or book. These versions may receive substantial numbers of citations which would not be counted in conventional citation analysis because the default mode is that only citations to regularly published items are counted. This could potentially disadvantage authors and institutions committed to sharing their findings early, openly, and widely. Here we investigate the size of this possible distortion which prior research shows as being far from negligibly small. Aman (2015) found that WoS-indexed references to arXiv alone, for publications from 1991- 2013, amount to 900,000 in number, more than enough to motivate an updated analysis including the wider preprint literature. Many studies have tried to identify an open access citation advantage (Langham-Putrow, Bakker, & Riegelman, 2021). Insofar as these studies have not included citations to preprint versions of both open and closed access publications, their results would be questionable. Collecting and analyzing citations to preprint versions of articles also has other applications. Traag (2021) used arXiv preprint citations to published works to formally estimate the causal effect of publication of articles in specific journals on citation impact of articles, i.e. a journal halo effect. Scopus has included preprints as listed documents on author profiles since 2021 but citations to these are not included. In 2023 Clarivate Analytics launched the Preprint Citation Index, covering documents from five platforms. This index provides citation counts tallying references from preprints to preprints and links cited references to the Web of Science Core Collection. However, citation counts to preprint and final published versions of the same item are also not unified in Web of Science. We experimentally carry out exactly this crucial additional process and analyze its consequences. A similar situation exists for articles in translated journals. A small number of journals are published in a language other than English and are translated back-to-back. Referencing authors could cite either version but the citation counts should be unified at some point for valid citation analysis. Web of Science may index either version of some of these journals so it would appear most appropriate to also link citing references to original and translated item to the indexed items to fully reflect their citation impact. Aksenteva (2015) raised awareness of this issue, noting that the indexing policy of SCI/WoS has been inconsistent. Figure 1 shows an updated version of the example case she gave.

U Senior Lecturar of the Department of Economics, PhD, Bukhara State University Abstract This article examines the theoretical foundations of the concept of the budget, the importance of the stability of the budget system, the factors influencing the budget system, and the impact of these factors on socio-economic development, with conclusions drawn at the end. Keywords Budget, budget system, federal budget system, unitary budget system, local budget. In the post-pandemic environment, countries are implementing reforms to enhance economic development. Most of these reforms lead to an increase in budget expenditures, which in turn results in a rise in the budget deficit. Controlling the budget deficit is primarily related to the stability of the budget systems. The timely execution of state functions is directly tied to the financing of planned reforms. It is evident that the distribution of revenues, expenditures, and powers between the budget tiers affects the timing of financing. Russian scientis N.Kozlov considers specific aspects of the financial support of the implementation of the powers of local government46. In particular, he notes the formation of the principle of delimiting income and expenses between the budgets of the budget system in Russian Federation, taking into account the adequacy and criterion of the competence for the implementation of expenses.

Sailor2 1The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, USA 2Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM, USA The potential role of nuclear fission to meet increased future energy demand while re- ducing greenhouse gas emissions and controlling nuclear proliferation is assessed. The World Energy Council projection for an environmentally driven future is used, which projects deployment of nearly 3 TW(e) of nuclear generation by 2100, with concurrent reduction of global CO2 emissions to one-third of present levels. We simulate three sce- narios based on this demand curve that rely on evolutionary and advanced systems of reactors. The scenarios differ only in fuel cycle choice between once-through, transmu- tation, and breeding. We show that the cost of nuclear power will likely remain a min- imum using the once through fuel cycle, which, we argue, also minimizes proliferation risks. The other two fuel cycle choices have the benefits of decreased waste production and increased uranium resource utilization, but these come at a price that is probably not acceptable unless the cost of repository space increases dramatically, or the cost of building advanced transmuting or breeding reactors can be reduced to a level lower than that of constructing new plants with contemporary technology. The importance of choice of discount rate in allocating resources to advanced nuclear technologies is dis- cussed. The linkage of fuel cycle choice with the international non-proliferation regime is emphasized. INTRODUCTION If the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)1 were ulti- mately successful it would result in an international carbon-abatement regime that enables a shift in energy supply to sources that do not emit CO2.2−4 Of the countries that are party to the UNFCCC, two with the lowest emissions of car- bon dioxide per unit of gross domestic product are Japan and France, the two countries with the greatest commitments to nuclear energy. While the “devel- oped” world currently is the greatest source of CO2 emissions, economic growth, and therefore energy demand growth, is expected to occur over the next century Received 31 August 2005; accepted 20 April 2006.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common age-related neurodegenerative disorders. PD is associated with dopaminergic neuronal loss in the substantia nigra pars compacta and the aggregation of misfolded proteins in the Lewy Bodies resulting in motor and non- motor symptoms. Risk of developing, mortality rate, progression and response to treatments are different in men and women. The molecular mechanisms associated with these differences are currently not fully elucidated.

DA TEORIA À PRÁTICA: como o processo de comunicação pode transformar a gestão de processos FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE: how the communication process can transform process management DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11388679 1 INTRODUÇÃO As organizações, públicas e privadas, além da dificuldade que encontram ao alinhar a sua gestão de processos com o seu plano de negócios, enfrentam problemas relacionados à comunicação da gestão dos processos. Esses problemas são agravados pela ausência de estímulos a fim de que os colaboradores envolvidos se engajem na efetiva execução daquilo que é planejado e desenhado. Dessa forma, um dos principais desafios das organizações é fazer com que a gestão de processos seja sistematicamente comunicada aos envolvidos. Ao analisar as etapas da gestão de processos, subentende-se que a comunicação deve ser considerada como primordial para o seu sucesso, conforme afirmam Bueno, Maculan e Aganette (2023): Uma organização eficiente deve ser capaz de desempenhar suas atividades de modo rápido e com o menor custo possível, e será eficaz quando conseguir fazer as coisas certas para cumprir os objetivos e metas traçados no planejamento estratégico da organização, de maneira independente e com qualidade, sem a necessidade de ajuda de terceiros. (BUENO, MACULAN, AGANETTE, 2023, p. 04) Portanto, um plano de comunicação teria como função agregar valor ao projeto e posicioná-lo como ferramenta fundamental para que os objetivos da organização sejam alcançados. Este resumo é fruto de um projeto de pesquisa, ainda em curso, apresentado ao Programa de Pós-Graduação Gestão e Organização do Conhecimento – PPGGOC. Sendo | non_poster |

Mediante distintos patróns de Tomografía de Coherencia Óptica (OCT), é posible medir o grosor das capas do tecido nervioso en diferentes partes da retina, extraendo información sobre o seu estado e a súa evolución. Neste traballo, presentamos dúas aproximacións automáticas baseadas en aprendizaxe profunda para a segmentación das capas da retina nos tres patróns OCT máis comúns para a diagnose do glaucoma: escaneos circulares ao redor do disco óptico, radiais a través do disco óptico, e volumétricos extraídos sobre a superficie macular. A primeira aproximación aproveita a similitude entre as distintas vistas da retina para adestrar un único modelo multi-vista capaz de realizar a segmentación en calquera dos patróns. A segunda aproximación utiliza unha serie de modelos especificamente adestrados para maximizar a precisión en cada unha das vistas, precedido por unha fase de decisión na que se determina automaticamente o modelo axeitado para analizar cada imaxe. Obtivéronse resultados satisfactorios, cunha precisión de 0.85±0.07 e 0.88±0.09, así coma unha exhaustividade de 0.87±0.06 e 0.87±0.07, respectivamente, para a primeira e segunda aproximación. O uso destes sistemas pode resultar de gran utilidade á hora de acadar unha diagnose precoz desta patoloxía, axudando a preservar a calidade de vida dos pacientes.

It offers a versatile framework for real-time messaging, suitable for individual messaging, group chats, and large-scale collaborations. Matrix clients provide a diverse range of options, including web-based applications, desktop clients, and mobile apps, catering to different prefer- ences and needs. These clients support end-to-end encryption and encourage innova- tion through their open-source nature. In this project, Element is chosen as the default client for its robustness and user-friendly interface. It offers seamless messaging and collaboration capabilities with support for end-to-end encryption. Additionally, integrat- ing Matrix with the ELIXIR federated authentication system can benefit life sciences research by creating a secure platform for data exchange and collaboration. Keycloak, an open-source identity and access management solution, can provide the necessary features such as single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and user management for seamless integration. This integration enhances user experience, simplifies user man- agement, and ensures secure access within the ELIXIR network. Leveraging Key- cloak’s capabilities with Matrix enables a robust and secure communication and collab- oration platform for life sciences research. Keywords: Matrix, Element, Synapse, ELIXIR, Keycloak 1 Matrix Chat Protocol The Matrix chat protocol [1] is an open-source communication protocol that enables secure and decentralized mes- saging across platforms.

Unifying PIC laser simulation and mask layout: a new methodology demonstrated on a mode-locked-laser design D. Massella1, E.A.J.M. Bente2, R.G. Broeke3 and F. Diaz1 1University of Vigo, EI Telecomunicacion, Campus Universitario As Lagoas, 36310, Vigo, Spain 2Photonic Integration Group, Department of Electrical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, the Netherlands 3Bright Photonics B.V., Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Laser simulation and mask layout for photonic integrated circuits (PICs) typically take place in different design environments. This disconnect impairment can easily lead to laser designs that do not comply with manufacturing constraints, or errors in translating laser parameters from simulation to layout, e.g. optical path lengths. In this paper, we present the integration of two open source software tools for the development of complex laser circuits: layout tool Nazca Design and traveling wave simulation software PHIsim. The foundry compatible Nazca layout tool is used to build the laser circuit, which then one-on-one translates into the laser simulation model using the compact models in the foundry description. This method creates a linear design flow in contrast to commonly used back-and-forward approaches between layout and simulation. Our solution allows designers to use the standard Nazca interface for drawing layout and subsequently simulate the laser circuit straight from the layout netlist, hence, cutting out the need of complex auto-routing and allowing the designer to check the design rules and footprint in this preliminary phase. This not only saves design time but also leads to a better agreement between simulation and layout. The integration is demonstrated with a mode-locked laser PIC. Introduction Photonic integrated circuit design flow is currently divided in two different environments: a simulation environment and a layout environment. The typical workflow starts in a simulation interface with a simple circuit schematic and after that the circuit is converted into a layout. The designer carries out the passage from circuit schematic to layout, in most cases, even if a lot of commercial tools for circuit simulation have an export to layout option. The main difference between the automatic export of circuit schematic from the circuit simulation software and the methodology proposed in this paper is the need for the first of complex auto-routing algorithms that often end in wrong designs and unpredictable and/or inconvenient shapes of the connection elements. This is easy to understand, because the circuit schematic does not carry detailed information on the placement and position of the building blocks besides their connectivity. Another underestimated factor in the standard workflow is the layout footprint, because the circuit schematic does not carry information about layout details, although this is often a critical parameter. Instead, the method that we present here uses the known Nazca interface as a netlist builder for layout and circuit at the same time. The resulting netlist and data models are sent to the PHIsim laser simulator. This interface approach allows for parallel checking | non_poster |

Probing dark matter at the ILC Wojciech Kotlarski 1 and Aleksander Filip Żarnecki 2* on behalf of the ILC International Development Team Physics and Detector Working Group 1National Centre for Nuclear Research, Warsaw, Poland 2Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, Poland *filip.zarnecki@fuw.edu.pl April 18, 2022 Abstract The International Linear Collider (ILC) offers a number of unique opportunities for searching dark sector particles in e+e−collisions. The collider program itself will offer important capabilities, including precision measurements in the Higgs sector and direct searches based on the mono-photon signature. With extreme intensities of the high-energy electron and positron beams, the ILC will also enable new fixed-target measurements, both beam dump experiments and dedicated experiments using extracted beams. Described in this contribution are the expectations for these programs, which address various possible dark sector portals.

— 762 766 Celebration & Contemplation, 10th International Conference on Design & Emotion 27 — 30 September 2016, Amsterdam Abstract ‘Recovery from psychosis through design’ is a design project based on a close collaboration between designers, mental health care professionals, and people with lived experience of psychosis. The resulting three interventions illustrate how healthcare can move away from the ‘old’ medical models in which the user is put in a passive position. Instead the project shows how designers can create tools that trigger new or adaptive behaviour, tools that enable users to deal with mental health problems in their day-to-day lives, and tools that empower people. The interventions demonstrate how mental healthcare can shift from an emphasis on relieving symptoms to a focus on enabling people in achieving a meaningful life.

Poster: Byzantine Fault Tolerant State Machine Replication for Non-deterministic Applications 1st Pedro Camponˆes Department of Informatics NOVA University Lisbon Lisbon, Portugal p.campones@campus.fct.unl.pt 2nd Diogo Tavares Department of Informatics NOVA University Lisbon Lisbon, Portugal dc.tavares@campus.fct.unl.pt 3rd Jo˜ao Magalh˜aes Department of Informatics NOVA University Lisbon Lisbon, Portugal jmag@fct.unl.pt 4th Henrique Domingos Department of Informatics NOVA University Lisbon Lisbon, Portugal hj@fct.unl.pt Abstract—Byzantine Fault Tolerant State Machine Replication (BFT-SMR) is a widely used approach to provide availability and fault tolerance to applications by enabling the system to continue its correct execution even when some nodes present arbitrary faults. This is done by replicating for all nodes the execution and response to client requests. When the client receives enough identical responses, that response is delivered. In BFT- SMR all correct processes must produce equal responses to the client requests. This requisite hinders the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) given that these models inherently produce non- deterministic outputs. We introduce Model Answer Replication (MARS), an algorithm that allows the use of SMR in non- deterministic applications, particularly when employing LLMs. MARS’ key innovation is comparing responses to client requests by measuring their semantic similarity rather than bit by bit equality and allowing client side code to remain unaltered from what is found in SMR algorithms for deterministic applications. Index Terms—State Machine Replication, Byzantine Fault Tol- erance, Large Language Models, Non-deterministic Algorithms I. INTRODUCTION Instruction-tuned Large Language Models (LLMs) are deep- learning models designed to generate natural language textual responses to comply with user requests. Their success has enabled their integration into diverse applications, showcasing their utility across multiple domains [1], including critical applications such as medical diagnostics [2]. In critical applications, the safety and availability of the sys- tem is crucial. One common method to achieve this is through the Byzantine Fault Tolerant [3] State Machine Replication [4] (BFT-SMR) abstraction, where the components of the system are replicated. When a client issues a request, all nodes will execute it and send their response to the client, ensuring the system can execute correctly even when some nodes fail. With BFT-SMR, when a client makes a request, they receive multiple responses. If enough responses match, the system considers the request successful. This method clashes with LLMs, as their responses vary due to the non-determinism commonly introduced during language decoding. Existing solutions to abstract non-determinism in applications and allow This work was supported by the FCT/MCTES grants PRT/BD/152803/2021 and PRT/BD/154428/2022, as well as by NOVA LINCS UIDB/04516/2020 and UIDP/04516/2020 with the financial support of FCT.IP their use in the SMR approach [5], [6] fail to extend to the challenges posed by LLMs. We introduce Model Answer Replication (MARS), an algo- rithm designed to make LLMs compatible with SMR. To the best of our knowledge, this work represents the first attempt to address this issue. A key innovation of MARS is to compare server responses based on their semantic/conceptual similarity rather than by exact match. Furthermore, MARS and BFT- SMR protocols for deterministic operations differ in that in the latter the response the client delivers is the output of correct nodes, while in MARS, the response delivered can result from a byzantine node, as long as it is be deemed innocuous by correct nodes. This abstract outlines our ongoing work.

Poster: Multi-Layer Threat Analysis of the Cloud Salman Manzoor Lancaster University United Kingdom s.manzoor1@lancaster.ac.uk Antonios Gouglidis Lancaster University United Kingdom a.gouglidis@lancaster.ac.uk Matthew Bradbury Lancaster University United Kingdom m.s.bradbury@lancaster.ac.uk Neeraj Suri Lancaster University United Kingdom neeraj.suri@lancaster.ac.uk ABSTRACT A variety of Threat Analysis (TA) techniques exist that typically target exploring threats to discrete assets (e.g., services, data, etc.) and reveal potential attacks pertinent to these assets. Furthermore, these techniques assume that the interconnection among the as- sets is static. However, in the Cloud, resources can instantiate or migrate across physical hosts at run-time, thus making the Cloud a dynamic environment. Additionally, the number of attacks target- ing multiple assets/layers emphasizes the need for threat analysis approaches developed for Cloud environments. Therefore, this pro- posal presents a novel threat analysis approach that specifically addresses multi-layer attacks. The proposed approach facilitates threat analysis by developing a technology-agnostic information flow model. It contributes to exploring a threat’s propagation across the operational stack of the Cloud and, consequently, holistically assessing the security of the Cloud.

Additionally, multiple technologies/services co-exist in the Cloud to provide functionality and flexibility in resource management, making the Cloud a complex environment with a complex threat landscape. This is evidenced by the increasing number of attacks and security breaches targeting the Cloud. For example, some attacks led to the leakage of users’ confidential information [3] while other attacks have targeted the availability of the Cloud [9]. The process of threat analysis is advocated to identify a system’s exposure to threats. Therefore, multiple threat analysis approaches for the Cloud have been proposed to explore threats targeting a Permission to make digital or hard copies of part or all of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page.

Alternate techniques, such as attack trees/graphs, have also been utilized to explore potential attack paths in the Cloud [2]. Existing approaches perform effective threat analysis [2, 5]. How- ever, they are either limited to identifying threats in the targeted asset or assume that the system under consideration is a static environment. Therefore, the applicability of existing schemes to dy- namic environments, e.g., the Cloud, is hindered due to these limita- tions. We address these challenges by proposing a novel threat anal- ysis approach that facilitates Cloud providers in exploring threats and their propagation, considering the inherent elasticity of the Cloud.
