Digital Humanities in the Nordic and Baltic Countries - A Living Bibliography Annika Rockenberger1 1University of Oslo Library, Moltke Moes vei 39, Oslo, 0851, Norway Abstract This poster describes the creation and publication of a curated, cumulative, open – living – bibliography of the organisation Digital Humanities in the Nordic and Baltic Countries (DHNB). It recounts how the bibliographic material - conference abstracts, posters, peer-reviewed papers, journal articles, but also news items about the conferences, blog posts, forum posts - has been collected in a Zotero library. It discusses ways of documenting and archiving the bibliography both as a set of research data in a Dataverse repository and as an open Zotero group library. The poster concludes with the prospect of opening up the bibliography to become a community driven project that will be expanded and maintained by the DHNB community and made explorable for research both as a live bibliography and as a data set for further analyses. Keywords Bibliography, Research Data, Community, DHNB 1. Origins 1.1. From Idea to Action In late 2019 and in the advent of the 5-year anniversary of the Association of Digital Humanities in the Nordic and Baltic Countries (DHNB) in April 2020, I1 started collecting material on DHNB as an organisation, a community of researchers and practitioners, and a central facilitator of digital humanities knowledge in the Nordic and Baltic Countries and beyond. Even though DHNB was at that time only a couple of years old, already I met many obstacles collecting its conference outputs: The main medium of DHNB community building and publication.

Page | 1 Spatial Patterns of Walking, Cycling, and Public Transport Mobility and Associated Neighbourhood Characteristics in Dublin, Ireland Kevin Credit*1 1National Centre for Geocomputation, Maynooth University December 7, 2022 Summary This paper explores the spatial patterns of walking, cycling, and public transport mobility in Dublin using a novel methodology that queries all neighbourhood-to-neighbourhood travel times within the region (by mode). These travel times are converted to travel costs and divided by Euclidean distance to create relative measures of mobility (cost-distance ratios). Analysing the neighbourhood characteristics of the origins and destinations for these ratios shows that racial/ethnic diversity, low socioeconomic status, and poor health are all related to relatively more costly (i.e., slow) public transit service. However, some of these neighbourhoods are relatively well-served by walking and cycling infrastructure. KEYWORDS: public transport, mobility, travel times, spatial modeling, cycling 1. Introduction Transportation mobility – the ability of an individual to travel through space on a given transportation network – is an important component of economic opportunity, public health, and overall quality of life (Ong & Houston, 2002; Yi, 2006; Lindstrom, 2008; Frank et al., 2006). This is particularly true for non-automobile modes, such as walking, cycling, and public transport, since these modes are less expensive than automobile ownership and tend to increase physical activity rates. However, a growing body of research has shown that the provision of transportation infrastructure – and thus individual mobility – is often unequally distributed in urban areas. In the North American context, processes of suburbanisation and ‘white flight’ in the post-WWII period were driven by transportation investment patterns that focused almost exclusively on automobile infrastructure in suburban and exurban areas (Vojnovic & Darden, 2013). The implicit (and sometimes explicit) goal of these investments was to enable the decentralisation of higher income, white populations. The resulting ‘sprawling’ development patterns make effective public transport service difficult to deliver at a regional scale; but even within dense cities, minoritized neighbourhoods still tend to be less well- served by public transport, walking, and cycling infrastructure (Lee et al. 2018; Credit et al. 2021). While European countries have experienced broadly similar trends in auto-centric development patterns over the past 70 years, the underlying socioeconomic, racial/ethnic, and built environment dynamics are much different (and less well-studied) than in North America. In Ireland, the onset of the ‘Celtic Tiger’ economy in the early 1990s fostered massive growth in suburban and exurban Dublin (McManus, 2018). By 2000 the effective Dublin “commuting belt” measured 90km, with new development occurring in a dispersed pattern across both larger commuter towns and smaller villages (Willams & Shiels, 2000). Despite the downturn in construction caused by the 2008 financial crisis, the auto-orientation of new development in Ireland continues to persist, with a 2014 study (Caulfield & Ahern) showing that those living in housing built after 2006 have significantly longer commute times and a much higher likelihood of commuting by automobile. * kevin.credit@mu.ie | non_poster |
ABSTRACT • We present an update of the MulChem chemical evolution model applied to the Milky Way Galaxy, by using the most recent stellar yields for low and intermediate mass stars and for massive stars. • We study the role of the different type Ia supernova (SN Ia) rate prescriptions, using 15 different Delay Time Distribution (DTD) functions, depending on the binary stars able to create a SN Ia scenario • Simultaneously, 12 tables of yields of elements produced by different explosion mechanisms for SN-Ia are explored. The chemical abundances derived from these 180 models, resulting from the combination of different set of SN Ia yields and DTDs, are analized. • The results of the Solar Region for [Fe/H] and [a/Fe] vs. Stellar age and for [a/Fe] vs. [Fe/H] (where a-elements are O, Mg, Si, S, and Ca) are compared with an extensive observational dataset coming from the most recent surveys and compiled for this work. • Then, the best model able to reproduce the observational data is selected by means of a c2 technique. • We analyse the results obtained for relative abundance of a-elements (O, Mg, Si, S, Ca) with Fe as a function of the galactocentric distance and stellar ages for the disc and the halo. • In agreement with previous works, we find that a significant fraction of type Ia SNe must take place at short delay times in order to reproduce these observed abundance ratios [α/Fe], as a function of both stellar age and Fe abundance • The large dispersion of data could be explained by a mix of stars located at different spatial regions or that moved after their birth. A mix of different DTD’s or explosión mechanims may also justify part of this dispersion SUPERNOVA RATES AND [a/Fe] ABUNDANCES IN MWG: THEIR VARIATIONS IN TIME AND SPACE M.Mollá1, O.Cavichia2, J.J.Bazán1, A.Castrillo3, L.Galbany4,I.Millán-Irigoyen1 1CIEMAT, 2Univ.

An open-source solution for the implementation of scenario planning with an interactive visualisation tools Liam Webb1, Mitchel Langford1 and Gary Higgs1 GIS Research Centre, Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research and Data (WISERD), Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Science, University of South Wales, Pontypridd, CF37 1DL, UK December 12, 2022 *Liam.webb@southwales.ac.uk Summary KEYWORDS: Predictive analysis, API’s, Accessibility, PSS Summary This research will provide insight into scenario planning in GIS and how when mixed with interactive visualisation tools it can be used to provide unique insight into geospatial data and provide policymakers with more insightful data, which, in turn, can lead to better and more deliberated decisions. 1. Introduction Too often policymakers and decision-makers rely on outdated procedures and systems to undertake analyses and interrogation of spatial data, there is a danger in doing this that resources and results generated this way are not always as accurate when compared to current and modern techniques (Huang, et al., 2020). Despite this, there is scant evidence for the uptake of newer systems being created despite their increasing availability (Tsalamanis, 2018). By implementing multiple open- source techniques and technologies together, current visualisation tools have the potential to build in- depth analysis systems that provide a more portable and user-friendly approach that could increase uptake from policymakers and increase data effectiveness as a result. 1.1. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Implementation and investigation of scenario planning within GIS Development and integration of visualisation tools and technologies Creation of web-platform that allows users to have visualised results from scenario planning analysis The main goal of this research will be to investigate scenario planning and how it can be implemented within an accessibility tool that utilises visualisation tools and techniques to present temporal accessibility data through live calculations (not pre-stored data). With the creation of this tool policy makers could exploit data to predict what could happen if a certain scenario was carried out. 1.2. PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS AND PSS Planning support systems are systems that are created with the intent of providing planning data for specific tasks (Batty, 1995; Klosterman, 1997). By utilising temporal travel data as well as other supply-side variables predictive analysis within web-GIS can be used as a planning support system to assist policymakers in the planning of urban development. For example, by measuring the accessibility of supply-side variables such as banks and the effect that changing travel networks can | non_poster |
EUROPRO Digital Corpus Description The EUROPRO Digital Corpus is a collection of digital texts that reflect the discursive and linguistic practices of international research projects financed by the Horizon2020 European framework for excellence science and research innovation. As such, it is regarded as a specialized corpus of texts that is static, implying that it was compiled at one specific point in time. The EUROPRO Digital Corpus is divided into two sub-corpora focusing on specific objects of inquiry, namely the EUROPROwebs Corpus (European Project Websites) and the EUROPROtweets Corpus (European Project Twitter Accounts). Overall, the corpus allows us to analyse digital academic discourse and, through its analysis, insights can be gained into international research group’s evolving discursive and professional practices. Additionally, as the figure below displays, the EUROPRO Digital Corpus is part of a holistic network of genres, texts and documents that we have labelled as EUROPRO Repository and that go deeper into the academic, professional and contextual aspects that surround international research projects. Thus, this repository comprises the EUROPRO Database, which is an extension of the EUROPRO Digital Corpus and include a total of 100 Horizon2020 international research projects. Much as the EUROPRO Digital Corpus, two collections of texts make up this database: the EUROPROwebs Database containing 100 research project websites and the EUROPROtweets Database collecting the existing Twitter accounts derived from projects in the database. Lastly, the EUROPRO Repository has also a branch devoted to EUROPRO Documentation, where materials and resources are gathered to gain understanding into how international research projects are created and developed and how scientific knowledge is expected to be communicated, disseminated and exploited. | non_poster |

Promoting A Physical Security Mental Model For Personal Firewall Warnings Abstract We used an iterative process to design personal firewall warnings in which the functionality of a firewall is visualized based on a physical security mental model. We performed a study to determine the degree to which our proposed warnings are understandable for our participants, and the degree to which they convey the risks and encourage safe behavior as compared to warnings based on those from a popular personal firewall. Initial results show that our warnings facilitate the comprehension of warning information, better communicate risk, and increase the likelihood of safe behavior. Moreover, they provided participants with a better understanding of both the functionality of a personal firewall and the consequences of their actions.

Poster: Detecting Network Anomalies from Small Traffic Samples using Graph Neural Network Aviv Yehezkel Cynamics Israel aviv@cynamics.ai Eyal Elyashiv Cynamics Boston, US eyal@cynamics.ai Abstract—Detecting anomalies in computer networks is a classic, long-term research problem. While almost every kind of model architecture has been proposed, previous works usually analyzed the entire network traffic. However, such analysis implies high memory and processing overhead, and is becoming less applicable for large networks. In this poster we present a work in progress which studies a previously under-researched setting where only a small fraction of the network traffic is given. Our approach pre-processes the samples and transforms the computer network into a graph neural network (GNN). It distills node features, edge features and graph representations to learn a vector embedding for each endpoint which characterizes its normal behaviors. Then, a link predictor model is used to estimate the likeli- hood of network communications and detect anomalies. Index Terms—Deep-Learning; Graph Neural Network; Net- work Anomaly Detection; Network Security 1. Introduction Detecting anomalies in computer networks is a classic, long-term research problem. Almost every kind of model architecture has been studied: statistical, clustering, clas- sification, information-theory, deep-learning, and others (see [1] for a recent comprehensive survey on network anomaly detection). Specifically, various learning-based approaches were used [2]–[6]. However, previous works were based on analyzing the entire network traffic, which is less applicable for large networks. A much less-studied approach is the sampling ap- proach, which is especially suitable for high-speed (gigabit or more) or high throughput networks, where only a small fraction of the packets (for example 1%) is being sampled and summarized [7]. In a recent work, we showed how a small percent of uniform sampling can be used to efficiently and accurately detect network anomalies and attacks using the concept of ”auto-encoder losses transfer learning” [8]. Our approach collected 1% network samples for each client, trained an auto-encoder neural network for each client’s network and then normalized all auto-encoder losses of the different clients, providing the ability to transform loss vectors of different client networks with potentially significant varying characteristics, properties, and behaviors into a similar statistical distribution. The normalized losses can then be forwarded to a global detection model that detects and classifies threats in a generalized way that is agnostic to the specific client. We used extensive simulation study to compare the ”sampled” approach to the existing “un- sampled” state-of-the-art approach and showed its superior detection accuracy. In this poster, we present a work in progress which intends to take our previous research one step deeper in the network - from the gateways to the endpoints. The proposed approach will transform the computer network into a graph neural network (GNN). It will distill node features, edge features and graph representations to learn a vector embedding for each endpoint which characterizes its normal behaviors. Then, a link predictor model will be used to estimate the likelihood of network communica- tions and detect anomalies in the endpoint level. As this work is still in progress, the poster abstract will mainly present our research idea and approach, without providing evaluations and preliminary results. In addition to the lower processing cost, a sampling- based network anomaly detection approach has many ad- vantages, such as: (a) Data privacy: the packet’s payload is not analyzed at any moment; (b) built-in robustness against sophisticated attacker utilizing ML techniques, due to the randomized nature. The key contributions of the work being presented in the poster are: • A novel approach for transforming a computer network to graph ne | non_poster |
The 21th Cambridge Workshop on Cool Stars, Stellar Systems, and the Sun Edited by A. S. Brun, J. Bouvier, P. Petit Nonlinear tidal interactions in the convective envelopes of low-mass stars and giant gaseous planets Aurélie Astoul,1 Adrian Barker1 1Department of Applied Mathematics, School of Mathematics, University of Leeds, Leeds, LS2 9JT, UK 1 * Abstract In close exoplanetary systems, tidal interactions are known to shape orbital architectures, to modify star and planet spins, and to have an impact on the internal structures of the bodies through tidal heating. Most stars around which planets have been discovered are low-mass stars and thus feature a convective envelope, as is also expected in giant gaseous planets like Hot Jupiters. Tidal flows in convective envelopes consist of large-scale equilibrium tides and inertial waves (restored by the Coriolis acceleration, and recently discovered in the Sun) excited by tides. Inertial waves contribute greatly to the tidal dissipation when they are excited and subsequently damped (through e.g. turbulent viscous friction), especially early in the life of a system. These waves are known to be subject to nonlinear effects, including triggering differential rotation in the form of zonal flows. In this context, we investigate how nonlinearities affect tidal properties, thanks to 3D nonlinear hydrodynamical simulations of tidal flows, in an adiabatic and incompressible convective shell. Unlike previous studies, we use a realistic tidal body forcing to excite inertial waves. Within our new set-up, we observe the establishment of strong cylindrically-sheared zonal flows, which modify the tidal dissipation rates from prior linear theoretical predictions. We demonstrate that the effects of this differential rotation on the waves neatly explains the discrepancies between linear and nonlinear dissipation rates in many of our simulations. Nonlinear interactions between inertial waves, and those between the waves and the background sheared flow, can lead to instabilities, for sufficiently high tidal forcing amplitudes or low viscosities. These different processes disrupt the energetic exchanges between tidal waves and the background flow, and also further modify tidal dissipation rates. 2 Introduction Due to the compact nature of many exoplanetary systems discovered so far, the study of tidal interactions is essential to understand the orbital and rotational properties of the plan- ets, as well as the rotations of their host stars. There has been a growing interest in detecting orbital decay of close Hot Jupiters, presumably caused by tidal interactions (e.g. Pa- tra et al., 2020; Harre et al., 2023). Though many ∼one-day orbital period giant gaseous planets are expected to migrate towards their host stars if tides are strong, only WASP-12 b has been convincingly confirmed to decay to date (Maciejew- ski et al., 2016). Therefore, an accurate theoretical estimation of tidal dissipation is needed to interpret the orbital decay rate of the planet/accelerating spin of star. In the WASP-12 system, non-linear wave breaking of gravity waves (restored by buoyancy) in the radiative central portions of the host star is believed to be responsible for the inward spiralling of the planet (Chernov et al., 2017; Weinberg et al., 2017; Barker, 2020). In other systems where this mechanism probably can- not apply, tidal dissipation of inertial waves (restored by the Coriolis acceleration) in stellar convective envelopes could be another avenue to explain any inferred orbital decay, as in the KELT-1 Hot Jupiter/brown dwarf system (Maciejewski et al., 2022) or for the Hot Jupiter Kepler-1658 b (Vissapra- gada et al., 2022).

Surface imaging of cool evolved stars in the era of the ELT M. Wittkowski1 A. Chiavassa2 S. Höfner3 J. B. Climent4 1 ESO 2 Université Côte d’Azur, Nice, France 3 Uppsala University, Sweden 4 Universitat de València Cool evolved stars are the main source of chemical enrichment of the interstellar medium. Understanding their mass loss offers a unique opportunity to study the cycle of matter. We discuss interferometric studies and their comparison to latest state-of-the-art dynamic model atmospheres. They show broad agreement for asymptotic giant branch stars. For red supergiants, however, current models cannot explain observed extensions by far, pointing to missing physical processes in their models, and uncertainties in our general understanding of mass loss. We present ongoing imaging and time-series observations that may provide the strongest constraint and may help to identify missing dynamic processes. VLTI studies will remain the highest spatial resolution observations at ESO into the ELT era, complemented by ALMA observations. We discuss crucial improvements in both instrumental and operational areas for surface imaging of cool evolved stars in the era of the ELT. Introduction Low-to-intermediate mass asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and massive red supergiants (RSGs) are cool evolved stars with low effective temperatures between about 2500 K and 4000 K, and together spanning a huge range of luminosities of log L/Lsun between about 3 and 6. They experience a mass loss rate of up to about 10-5 to 10-4 Msun/year, precipitating the return of material to the interstellar medium. The mass-loss process is thought to be triggered by a levitation of the atmosphere to radii where dust can form, and radiative acceleration on dust grains dragging along the gas (e.g., Höfner and Olofsson 2018). However, some details of this process are surprisingly little understood, in particular for red supergiants, for which current models of pulsation and convection alone cannot elevate the atmosphere to observed extensions (Arroyo-Torres et al. 2015). Other processes may need to be included, such as radiative acceleration on Doppler-shifted molecular lines (Josselin & Plez 2007), magnetic fields and Alfén waves (e.g., Thirumalai & Heyl 2012, Airapetian et al. 2010), rotation (e.g., Vlemmings et al. 2018), or giant hot spots (e.g., Montarges et al. 2016, Vlemmings et al. 2017). The mass-loss is initiated on top of the convective photosphere of these sources, a crucial region that we need to image and study for a representative sample covering the large parameter space, to understand the physical mechanisms that elevate the atmosphere and drive the mass loss, by comparison to theoretical simulations. Current stage A decade of comparisons of mostly single-epoch spectro-interferometry at individual baselines to dynamic model atmospheres for AGB and RSG stars showed that both classes of evolved stars observationally show similarly extended molecular layers that can be fairly well reproduced by 1D pulsation dynamic models and with 3D models of convection for AGB stars (e.g., Wittkowski et al. 2016), but that by far cannot be reproduced by current 1D or 3D dynamic models of RSG stars (Arroyo- Torres et al. 2015). Interferometry now succeeds in imaging stellar surfaces and their environments, allowing us to compare reconstructed images and 3D simulations of convection in terms of contrast and morphology. Figs. 1-3 show as examples our work based on the PIONIER instrument in the near-IR H band for the the carbon AGB star R Scl (Wittkowski et al. 2017a), and the RSGs V766 Cen (Wittkowski et al. 2017b) and V602 Car (Climent et al., in prep.). All image reconstructions show a complex structure within the stellar disk. The image reconstruction of R Scl shows a complex structure and a dominant spot with large contrast | non_poster |

— 707 711 Celebration & Contemplation, 10th International Conference on Design & Emotion 27 — 30 September 2016, Amsterdam Abstract In the Western world we tend to neglect our mental wellbeing. We ignore feelings of stress, anxiety or sadness until the point that these develop themselves into burnouts, depressions and other mental issues… ‘We never saw coming…’ After problems have escalated treatment is expensive, lengthy and bureaucratic. Treatment is also ‘disease’ oriented, reducing a person to a ‘patient’ and not focusing on possibilities. As much as one out of every four westerners may develop a mental issue during their lifetimes. In many of these cases, escalation towards severe mental illness can be prevented by a greater awareness and basic care of ones own mental health. Very much like we are supposed to keep our bodies fit, thereby preventing to become obese or heart diseased. Mindkeeper is a multidisciplinary collaborative design project that is doing just that: Psychologists, psychiatrics, patients, insurers, coders and designers have teamed-up to develop a digital tool that provides people agency regarding matters concerning their own mental health. Mindkeeper will do that by coaching the user in seeking emotional fulfillment on the basis of the users emotional state and context. This emotional state is monitored by Mindkeeper thus building a personal mental health record. The data making up this record is visualized in a coherent and pleasing way providing the user with an idea of what is going on in ones mind. This results in a clear and attractive overview of an area that is usually shrouded in mysteries and folklore. The user empowered with this mental insight, may use Mindkeeper to connect with a community. Once connected, people can post queries, receive answers, compare ones situation with selected others and receiving and reviewing tips and tricks in getting or keeping oneself on track. The basic idea is that Mindkeeper is aimed at relatively mental healthy people and that by using Mindkeeper, people remedy slight issues themselves, thereby staying in control and keeping the responsibility of their own mental well being in their own hands.

Page | 1 Using secondary data to examine whether a programme of interventions in urban forests enhances community health and wellbeing. Ogletree S*1, Ward Thompson C1, Clemens T1, Pearce J1, and Mitchell R2 1University of Edinburgh 2University of Glasgow GISRUK 2023 Summary There is a growing demand for better evidence on the importance of forests for human health, as this may be a key element of future forestry strategies. Combining data from the Scottish Census, Public Health Scotland, and Scottish Forestry this research sought to address specific questions about the impact of urban woodlands in deprived areas on mental health and child development. Spatial data on woodland interventions and residential location allowed for a unique level of analysis to investigate outcomes. KEYWORDS: Greenspace, Secondary data, Woodlands, Mental health 1. Introduction Globally, there is an increasing burden of non-communicable disease (NCD), particularly mental illness, which is experienced inequitably (with those poorest suffering most) and potentially affects all stages of life. For example, poor mental health in childhood has implications for health and wellbeing throughout life. In the short term, school attainment may be impaired (Trout et al., 2003) while, in the longer term, persistent mental health issues, higher mortality rates and wider inequalities may result (Dube et al., 2003, Jokela et al., 2009). More recently there have been substantial increases in the prevalence of childhood social, emotional, and behavioural problems (Layard and Dunn, 2009). To address this upward trend, and the consequent growing societal burden now and in the future, it is imperative to identify the determinants of these childhood problems as well as to address poor mental health in adults. At the same time, across the UK, Europe and beyond, there is a demand for better evidence on the importance of forests for human health, as this may be a key element of future forestry strategies (World Commission on Protected Areas, 2018, Marušáková et al., 2019). The climate emergency means tree planting is poised to expand in the UK and this offers an opportunity to establish and maintain forests that are productive and multifunctional, delivering ecosystem services while benefiting human health and wellbeing. In this context, those responsible for urban and peri-urban land management are asking: what does urban forestry mean for human use, social benefit and wellbeing in the context of health inequities? (Marušáková et al., 2019)? Scottish Forestry have identified an urgent need to understand the value of forests for health and wellbeing in order to target scarce resources most effectively. For the first time, we have an opportunity to link secondary data on mental health, child development and a decade-long national urban forest intervention programme to offer the kind of evidence being * scott.ogletree@ed.ac.uk | non_poster |

Page | 1 Leicester Temporal Geodemographic Classification Nouh AL-Mahrouqi*1 and Stefano De Sabbata†1 1School of Geography, Geology and the Environment, University of Leicester, LE2 2LH GISRUK 2023 Summary The city of Leicester (UK) has seen large socio-demographic changes over the past century, gaining complex social, economic and multicultural geographies. Such changes are reflected in the data collected through the census and can be illustrated by developing a temporal geodemographic classification. This paper presents the results of a Master's dissertation project aimed at developing a temporal geodemographic classification for Leicester's urban area, including the Leicester Local Authority District, as well as the Oadby and Wigston Local Authority District, analysing its changing socio-economic structure over three censuses. KEYWORDS: Temporal Geodemographics, Leicester, Cluster Analysis, K-means, UK census 1. Introduction and Background The socio-economic and demographic characteristics of cities evolve throughout time due to a wide range of factors, including changes to the built environment and migration (Gale & Longley, 2013). The socio-spatial structure of places can quickly alter due to a variety of causes that have an impact on societies. Exploring these changes is essential to help policymakers in evaluating social and economic initiatives and interventions. In recent decades, summary indicators of neighbourhoods' demographic, economic, and social characteristics have been explored using geodemographic classifications. In particular, Singleton and Longley (2015) discussed the importance of developing local, specialised classifications for the analysis of cities. This paper presents the work completed for a Master's dissertation (AL-Mahrouqi, 2022) at the University of Leicester. The objective was to develop a temporal geodemographic classification (see, e.g., Patias et al., 2022) for Leicester using the 1991, 2001 and 2011 censuses to find out the changes and stability in the socio-economic characteristics of Leicester across the two decades. 2. Methods The research followed the standard framework for creating a geodemographic classification, including data acquisition, manipulation, and clustering analysis. Leicester's demographic, socio-economic and housing data were obtained from the Office for National Statistics for the UK censuses of 1991, 2001 and 2011. A detailed assessment of each variable was conducted to exclude the variables that could have had a negative impact on clustering or caused uncertainty in the results. The process involved removing strongly correlated and skewed variables, variables with minimal spatial variation, and variables that reduced the homogeneity of the clusters by carrying out a within-cluster sum of squares (WCSS) analysis. The final set included a total of 37 final variables: 18 were in their original form, and 19 were composite variables generated by merging multiple variables. The three censuses' geographic units were unified into the 2011 OA using the GeoConvert tool to obtain * Noo00h123@hotmail.com † s.desabbata@leicester.ac.uk | non_poster |

Using missing data patterns to detect incorrectly assigned articles in bibliographic datasets Simon Willemin simon.willemin@library.ethz.ch 0009-0003-5802-9113 ETH Library, ETH Zurich, Switzerland The DORA declaration and CoARA call for the use of bibliometric indicators based on open data. However, established scholarly metadata datasets are closed, and the quality of open datasets has not yet been thoroughly examined. In this paper, I present a method to detect errors in a dataset using missing data patterns. As an example, the method is applied to the affiliation metadata of publications associated with ETH Zurich. This allows me to identify a series of incorrectly affiliated papers. The method introduced in this paper is not specifically designed for affiliation data and can also be used to detect errors in other types of data. It could lead to corrections which will hopefully benefit providers as well as users of data. 1. Introduction The DORA declaration and CoARA call for the use of bibliometric indicators based on open data. Some institutions have recently taken up such calls by abandoning the use of proprietary bibliometric products (Sorbonne University, 2023), by unsubscribing from a commercial database (CNRS, 2024), or by introducing a ranking based on open data (Waltman et al., 2024). However, reservations against the use of open data still arise due to uncertainties regarding their quality compared to closed and more established datasets whose weaknesses and biases are better known. Recent projects, such as TOBI (Towards Open Bibliometric Indicators, https://eth-library.github.io/tobi/) in Switzerland and OPENBIB (Comparative Analysis and Curation of German Metadata in Open Bibliometric Data, https://www.dzhw.eu/en/forschung/projekt?pr_id=733) in Germany might allow for a smooth transition towards openness by evaluating the quality of open bibliometric databases or by establishing such a database. In the context of the project TOBI, tools to detect errors and to assess quality are developed. This paper introduces a method to detect a specific type of error in any dataset. It is based on the identification of patterns of missing data that are not – or rarely – due to a lack of information, but to errors. The method consists in (1) computing missing data patterns, (2) grouping computed values, (3) filtering for groups of values corresponding to the type of error to detect, and (4) manually identifying the cases corresponding to the type of error to detect. To the extent of my knowledge, this error detection method has not been previously employed nor described in the literature. As an example, the method is applied to the affiliation data of the bibliographic database Dimensions. The detection of affiliation errors can lead to improvements in the database and consequently to more reliable analyses, especially when it comes to collaborations or networks. It can also be useful for data analysts in a context where existing institution disambiguation systems are not sufficiently accurate (Donner et al., 2020). The specific application of the method that I present allows one to find a series of incorrectly affiliated papers (the erroneous affiliations they are associated with are given in Appendix 1). Most of the errors seem to be due to homonymy and to the format of data used as a source. I discuss both the results and potential improvements of the data they are associated with, as well as the method and further possible uses of missing data patterns in a bibliometric context. | non_poster |

PSV data from the Artic region could be of critical importance for geomagnetic field models. In particular, sedimentary sequences with suitable lithological character and good paleomagnetic properties may provide valuable empirical inputs for the reconstruction of the geomagnetic field variability over geological times. In this work, we present the analysis of high‐resolution paleomagnetic and rock magnetic analyses carried out on 3 sedimentary cores collected in glaciomarine silty‐ clay sequences from the continental shelf and slope across Kveithola trough‐mouth fan, on the continental margin of northwestern Barents Sea (Fig. 1). This study has been conducted in the framework of the PNRA project CORIBAR-IT, whose general aim is to define the timing and the paleo- environmental changes linked to the last deglaciation, by investigating the glacigenic sediments in a palaeo-ice stream depositional system in the western Barents Sea. The cores have been divided in sections of about 1m of length and then cut in two half parts Figure 1 Location of the CORIBAR cores (this work) and SVAIS and EGLACOM cores [Sagnotti et al., 2011; 2016].

Quantum Reservoir Computing for Chaotic Time Series Forecasting Osama Ahmed1, Felix Tennie1, and Luca Magri1,2 1Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom 2Alan Turing Institute, London, United Kingdom Abstract Recently, it has been demonstrated that quantum reservoir computing (QRC) is an effective tool for time-series prediction. In this work, QRC is applied for multivariate, non-linear and chaotic time series predictions using the IBM Quantum platform. We compare the results of QRC predictions with its classical counterpart, analysing reservoir dynamics and sizes. Specifi- cally, this comprises time-series prediction, reservoir memory capacity and long-term statistics of the chaotic systems. We show that in comparison to the classical reservoir, fewer hyper- parameters are needed by the quantum reservoir, highlighting the robustness of the method. Furthermore, we have compared ensembles of networks between the quantum and classical schemes, with optimal hyper-parameters chosen through grid search and Bayesian optimization. We find that entanglement in the quantum reservoir enriches reservoir dynamics and prediction capabilities. More specifically, one can reduce the size of the quantum reservoir by comparison to its classical counterpart while preserving the accuracy of the output. Finally, we analyse the challenges and opportunities of QRC for recurrent time series predictions on Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum computing (NISQ)-era quantum processors. This work confirms and highlights the potential of QRC for chaotic time series predictions on near term quantum computers. 1 Introduction Various previous works have proposed utilizing and applying QRC and hybrid QRC architectures for time series predictions [1–3]. In hybrid QRC, input data is encoded in form of Bloch-sphere rotation angles in individual qubits along with reservoir state probabilities. The resulting quantum states undergo unitary operation at each time step [1]. In an another approach, a reservoir state is associated with the density operator of encoded quantum state and reservoir probabilities cor- respond to measurement outcomes of the final quantum state [3, 4]. While it has been speculated that quantum reservoir computers are a potential candidate providing quantum advantage in the near term NISQ-era, very few studies have been conducted on high-dimensional chaotic systems as well as their long term statistical predictabilities. The focus of this work is to study low-dimensional as well as high-dimensional chaotic systems with QRC. More specifically, we investigate the 3-dimensional Lorenz-63, and the 10-dimensional Lorenz-96 systems [5]. We assess the performance in multiple ways: first, by considering short-term time series prediction capabilities that are quantified using the predictability horizon [6], second, by comparison of long term statistics [7, 8], and third, by considering the short-term memory capacity of the reservoir [9]. In Section. 2, we present the comparison of quantum and classical reservoir architectures. Then, we compare the results of chaotic predictions for both networks. In Section. 3, 1 | non_poster |

In this case, the system is dedicated to French elderly women with limited mobility and limited technological understanding, enabling them to communicate with members of their social group who are in the proximity of their homes. The method is based on extensive gerontology research, face-to-face interviews and three user co-design sessions, which necessitated the development of low-fidelity prototypes. As a result of our research, we propose Birdy, an interactive tabletop system. Keywords: Interaction design, elderly living, robust design, participative design, interactive tabletops 1. Introduction The population of senior citizens in industrialized countries is greatly increasing in number and percentage. As the generation of baby-boomers reaches old age, the identity of this social group is changing rapidly in ways that are difficult to measure and to understand [1]. Our conventional perspectives of old age are being challenged more than ever, especially in the case of female seniors. Women in old age live longer than their male counterparts, and are more likely to find themselves living alone. Since living alone is a popular and important option, much research has focused on assisted-living solutions for aging in place. Assisted-living solutions are typically designed for monitoring the physical health and security of the elder. Often, the role of monitor rightly falls upon trusted members of the elder's social network, but designers often demonstrate a limited understanding of an elder's social needs, and seldom seek to connect the elder to friends outside of the family. We seek to distinguish ourselves from prior research by leveraging the extensive gerontology research and previously unexploited insights to elder's social networks to provide a device who's primary objective is increasing friendly casual communication among elder's social networks. We believe this has the potential to provide great long-term benefits and happiness for elders. In this paper, we present a design for providing a socio-technical system to help elder women keep in touch within a close community of their friends. Though we designed and tested for women, as they are more likely to find themselves living alone, there are no explicit reasons for which our design could not serve elder males, as well. A preliminary state of the art on gerontology and elderly living is presented in section 2. Section 3 explains the method, details group interviews and discussions with a panel of elderly women, and presents some criteria of variability in the experience of living revealed through the experiments (section 3.1). Section 3.2 presents the robust design of an interactive tabletop, including the criteria of variability, and introduces concerns from the potential users regarding the final proposal. The section 4 is dedicated to discussion and conclusion. | non_poster |

Mindsponge https://mindsponge.info/posts/297 Last updated: 04/19/2024 Intergenerational Differences in the Environmental Concerns: Insights from Chinese Plastic Waste Business Owners Dan Li College of Educational Science, Yan’an University, Yan’an, Shaanxi, China April 19, 2024 Most surveyed populations share concerns about safeguarding the environment [1]. While studies have explored general and specific environmental behaviors [2], little attention has been given to how different generations relate to environmental concerns. In a recent study published in Humanities and Social Sciences Communications (Nature Portfolio), Wang and Wu [3] focus on exploring intergenerational disparities of plastic waste business owners in environmental concerns, specifically ecological worldview and concerns of local environmental issues. The research involved 102 plastic waste business owners spanning two generations in Wuzhen Town, China, who took part in a paired-sample survey. By integrating insights from Mindsponge Theory and utilizing the advantages of Bayesian analysis [4,5], the study also delved into the roles of post-materialistic values, environmental knowledge, exposure to environmental risks through new media, and community ties in mediating the links between intergenerational difference and environmental concern. | non_poster |

A. Department of Agricultural and Forest Sciences, Tuscia University, Via S. C. de Lellis, snc, 01100 Viterbo Italy durum wheat, abiotic stress, climatic change, real time PCR, WRKY Drought and salinity are the main abiotic factors that threaten food security and cause the most damage to crop grain yield. In the frame of the project H2020-ECOBREED (No 771367) present aim was to investigate variations in morphological (plant high, root length), physiological (chlorophyll content), and biochemical (real time PCR of transcription factor WRKY) responses to drought and salt stresses, among six durum wheat genotypes, replicated three times, under glasshouse conditions. The WRKY transcription factor is widespread in plants and associated with plant growth, development, and abiotic stress tolerance. Drought and salinity treatments were assessed two weeks after sowing, when the seedlings reached two fully expanded leaves stage. Drought conditions were managed by discontinuing watering and evaluating field capacity (FC) in pots. Salt conditions were reached adding to the nutrient solution 250 mM of NaCl and watering the plants three times per week. | non_poster |

The project involves both research and the practical application of study findings, necessitating team collaboration across various disciplines. This poster introduces the project and discusses the importance, benefits, and challenges of the multidisciplinary endeavor. KEYWORDS Multidisciplinary collaboration, health informatics, mHelath, dementia, digital assistive technology, user-driven design INTRODUCTION This poster briefly discusses the benefits and challenges of the authors' multidisciplinary and multi-organizational collaborative project, which sets out to develop an integrated, evidence-based, and user-driven memory book application. This computer-based assistive technology (AT) is expected to improve communication quality between people with dementia (PwD) and their care partners. Researchers from various fields, including communication disorders, education technology, social work, and information studies affiliated with different universities, are participating in this project. While collaboration among researchers with different backgrounds provides an opportunity to unify expertise and research practices and leverage resources at different institutes, it also presents challenges. This poster outlines the project and discusses the challenges and benefits of digital AT development for PwD and their care partners through multidisciplinary collaboration. Background Longevity stands as a supreme achievement of the 20th century. However, alongside this increased lifespan, society faces significant challenges such as the growing population of individuals with dementia. Presently, over 55 million people worldwide are affected by dementia, with new cases increasing by nearly 10 million annually (World Health Organization [WHO], 2023). As dementia progresses in individuals, communication difficulties (e.g., in speaking or understanding) pose substantial challenges and common symptoms (Banovic et al., 2018). These difficulties not only create a care burden for care partners of people with dementia (PwD) along with other behavior and cognitive issues experienced by PwD (Georges et al., 2008). PwD care partners often find themselves needing to adopt a new way of communication (Banovic et al., 2018) with their loved ones. Due to advancements in communication and information technology (ICT), computer-based assistive technology (AT) has been devised to support PwD care partners. In particular, cognitive enhancement programs such as digital memory books offer the potential to enhance and elevate the quality of interactions between PwD and their care partners (Aitken, 2015; Hashim et al., 2015; Papastefanakis et al., 2011) including communication. To yield positive outcomes, addressing the specific needs of PwD and their care partners proves vital in developing an AT (Davies et al., 2020). However, ATs frequently tend to address general issues instead of tailoring their designs to cater to the unique needs of their intended users (Peterson et al., 2023).

— 633 641 Celebration & Contemplation, 10th International Conference on Design & Emotion 27 — 30 September 2016, Amsterdam Introduction Do-it-Yourself practices in the field of design happens since the origin of the discipline itself. Craftsmanship (Nimkurlat, 2010 p. 75), Bricolage (Louridas, 1999 p. 2) and experimentation (Ayala, 2014) have been always evident procedures for design professionals when arising a project. However, there has been for some time in the field of design a more noticeable need to contribute more deeply and in a robust way in research through these type of approaches. As design is considered a practice based branch of knowledge, a novel form of carrying out research in the field of materials is presented. In the following pages, a visual storytelling of a Do-It-Yourself-Materials (DIY-M) practice (Rognoli, et. al, 2015) will be revealed. A course inside a Master´s Level Degree was set as a pilot study where the DIY-M could be created and tested. Accompanying the path with a methodology known as MDD or Material Driven Design (Karana, et. al, 2015), the outcome, shows visually how even before the project comes as an idea, the designer, through tinkering with materials without a project in mind but following a conscious method of research, is able to create a vision with the material that becomes for certain, a valuable contribute to create meaningful material experiences for the further project. During the development of the course, one of the core facts that is also intended to be presented through this pictorial, is the emotional change of perception on the topic of DIY-M from the beginning, through and towards the end of the course of study. In the beginning, the course was perceived as another practical way to develop a project where experimenting with materials had non added value practice for a designer. Abstract It is known in the field of design, that when a project comes to shape, an emotional value of the designer or the team of designers that put together all the elements for the project to be born, it is and will be always something that artificiality and industry will never be able to meet. Imagine for a moment that even before the project comes as an idea, the designer is able to create a material that may be the perfect match for that idea to arise into a project. This pictorial is presented as a way to evidence the valuable contribute that material experience through the concept of Do-It-Yourself Materials is providing nowadays to designer’s research. It is an approach to understand what is happening when everything starts with the material in mind before the project. By a meticulous interrogation to design students during the development of a material, a collection of experiences and a visual storytelling of a Do-It-Yourself Materials are presented to elucidate the importance of the meaning that the designer provides when, as an alchemist gains control of the material through interacting with it, how that meaning is carried within the material and therefore can be transferred to the project subsequently throughout an established vision.

Diretor Jurídico do Instituto para o Avanço Cientifico dos Países do Sul (The Institute for the Scientific Advancement of the South). Advogado. RESUMO O objeto do presente trabalho versa sobre a análise do discurso das decisões dos ministros do Supremo Tribunal Federal em embargos de declaração opostos contra a declaração de inconstitucionalidade que deixou de apreciar a modulação temporal dos efeitos por falta de requerimento das partes. O estudo parte da seguinte pergunta: cabe embargos de declaração, em sede de controle concreto, em face da não manifestação da Corte Constitucional brasileira sobre a modulação temporal dos efeitos nas declarações de inconstitucionalidade? Destaque-se que os embargos de declaração são o recurso oponível à decisão que apresenta omissão, contrariedade ou obscuridade, ao passo que a declaração de inconstitucionalidade de norma produz efeitos próprios, declarando nulos os atos produzidos com base na referida norma em razão do seu efeito ex tunc. Sendo assim, nossa hipótese consiste na possibilidade de provimento na oposição de embargos nas declarações de inconstitucionalidade quando não há pedido nos autos acerca da modulação temporal dos efeitos, por ser esta matéria de índole constitucional. Por fim, a presente pesquisa utiliza a matriz teórica de analise do discurso desenvolvida por Patrick Charaudeau.

When BLE Meets Light: Multi-modal Fusion for Enhanced Indoor Localization Jagdeep Singh jagdeep.singh@toshiba-bril.com Toshiba Europe Ltd., BRIL, UK Tim Farnham tim.farnham@toshiba-bril.com Toshiba Europe Ltd., BRIL, UK Qing Wang qing.wang@tudelft.nl Delft University of Technology, NL ABSTRACT Designing a reliable and highly accurate indoor localization system is challenging due to the non-uniformity of indoor spaces, multipath fading, and satellite signal blockage. To ad- dress these issues, we propose a Deep Neural Network-based localization system that combines passive Visible Light Posi- tioning (p-VLP) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technolo- gies to achieve stable, energy-efficient, and accurate indoor localization. Our solution leverages incremental learning to fuse data from visible light and BLE, overcoming their individual limitations and achieving centimeter-level local- ization accuracy. We build a prototype using low-cost S9706 hue sensors for p-VLP and low-power nrf52830 BLE boards to collect data simultaneously from both technologies in a 25m2 testbed. Our approach demonstrates a significant lo- calization accuracy improvement of approximately 47% and 64% compared to individual p-VLP and BLE technologies, respectively, achieving a mean localization error of 20 cm. CCS CONCEPTS • Networks → Location based services; • Computing method- ologies → Neural networks. KEYWORDS Multi-modal fusion, visible light positioning, Bluetooth 5.1 1 INTRODUCTION Building smart indoor environments has intensified the need to design more accurate indoor localization systems. Difficult Commercialization & Limited Usable Range. One promising technology for highly-accurate indoor lo- calization is Visible Light Positioning (VLP), which utilizes light’s directive properties for precise indoor localization. However, existing VLP systems perform well only in con- trolled environments. In real-world scenarios, factors like ex- ternal ambient light sources, obstacles, and shadows, decline localization performance, ultimately restricting the e ective localization areas. Additionally, active VLP systems have lim- ited market adoption due to luminaire design changes [5]. Limited Accuracy. In contrast, RF technologies like Blue- tooth Low Energy (BLE) have gained popularity for indoor localization due to their ubiquity and low-cost hardware. However, BLE’s narrowband nature makes it susceptible to multipath fading, limiting ranging accuracy. The angle of arrival/departure techniques can utilize signal phase infor- mation to overcome this. However, they require multiple antennas, typically sized 16 × 16 cm, which are bulky, expen- sive, and challenging to acquire commercially [3]. Hybrid Localization? To address these challenges, this paper investigates combining BLE and VLP to design a re- liable, accurate hybrid localization system. We aim to over- come BLE’s low accuracy and VLP’s limited usage range by leveraging both technologies’ strengths. Our system utilizes unmodulated light sources’ inherent characteristics, specifi- cally the power at dominant wavelengths, via single-pixel hue sensors, without modifying existing lighting infrastruc- ture. Additionally, we leverage BLE 5.1 standard and employ Constant Tone Extension (CTE), a waveform with constant frequency and amplitude [1, 3], to collect Received Signal Strength (RSS) using a single antenna. Furthermore, we lever- age Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to e ectively fuse signal features from both technologies. DNNs show promise in modeling the mapping between signal features and target lo- cations, addressing multipath complexity in indoor areas [3]. Our contributions are summarized as follows: i) We propose BLELight, a hybrid accurate localization sys- tem for large indoor spaces. BLELight fuses the intrinsic features of unmodulated light (the ratio of power at dom- inant wavelengths) with the BLE signal strength. ii) We propose an incremental learning-based approach to train the DNN model | non_poster |
Page | 1 Analysis The Influencing Factors of Urban Traffic Flows by Using Emerging Urban Big Data Yue Li*1, Qunshan Zhao†1 and Mingshu Wang‡2 1 Urban Big Data Centre, School of Social and Political Sciences, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK 2 School of Geographical and Earth Sciences, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK January 18, 2023 Summary This research applies spatial Durbin model to analyse traffic flow distributions via various factors in the urban areas and traffic flow data. The results show that the overall built environment within a buffer area has more significant impact on urban traffic flow compared to the nearby location within a few meters. Areas with more young and white dwellers are associated with more traffic flows. With the influence of COVID-19, residents prefer to spend their daily life in their local neighborhood rather than having long distance travel. The initial findings from this research provide evidence of developing 20- minute city via active travel for achieving net-zero carbon target. KEYWORDS: Traffic flow, Urban big data, COVID-19, Spatial Durbin model 1. Introduction As a crucial component for the complex urban system, urban traffic analysis has drawn attentions from researchers and planners for decades (Batty 2008). The increasing development of Intelligent Transportation Systems with various urban sensing technologies (Buch et al. 2011), has produced a variety of traffic-related data to monitor urban traffic conditions in high spatio-temporal resolution. These data provide a near real-time understanding of the traffic flows in our cities compared to traditional travel survey methods, which offer the next level of understanding of the urban transportation system. Many studies measuring the factors that affect urban traffic flows. Nian et al. (2020) applied the spatial lag model to explore the relationship between Point of Interest (POI) and taxi travels. Xu et al. (2019) proposed a framework to identify urban mobility patterns based on POI data. Specifically, areas with entertainment and consumption functions are more likely to generate more traffic flow. In addition to POI, land cover of urban areas also influences the mobility trends. Previous research used a sequential modelling process to analyse the impact of land use on urban mobility patterns (Bandeira et al. 2011). Recently, a study inferred urban land use from taxi trajectory data and bus smart card data (Liu et al. 2021). Besides, street imagery is a new and emerging urban big data source with high spatial resolution. Studies have reported using this data to audit road infrastructure and other built environment features. Goel et al. (2018) used Google Street View(GSV) from 34 cities in Great Britain, to predict travel pattern at the city level. Previous researchers mostly only explored the multiple aspects of urban environment in traditional mobility pattern analysis, with limited aspects considered quantitative relationship between new forms of sensing data and traffic flow in cities.

— 697 706 Celebration & Contemplation, 10th International Conference on Design & Emotion 27 — 30 September 2016, Amsterdam Abstract In partnership with the Baltimore City Health Department, The Center for Design Practice at the Maryland Institute College of Art developed strategies that engaged the HIV-positive African American MSM population in Baltimore City in order to collaboratively design ways to seek and maintain care, stay on their medication, and maintain safe practices to decrease the rate of transmission of HIV, syphilis and other STDs. In Baltimore City, MSM are at significant risk of acquiring HIV and syphilis. According the Infectious Disease and Environmental Health Administration, there has recently been a resurgence in the proportion of newly reported HIV cases occurring in MSM in Baltimore, with a near doubling of this proportion from 15% to 30% in the last 5 years. In the BESURE study conducted in Baltimore City in 2004-2005, 40% of MSM who participated in the study were HIV- positive and 62% of HIV-positive individuals were unaware of their status.

FicTag Visualizer: A Tool for Fanfiction Tag Analysis and Three Use Cases in Fan Interpretation Abstract This poster presents FicTag Visualizer, an online interface for analyzing the frequency of tags attached to fanfiction on the Archive of Our Own, the largest English-language fanfiction database. We present three use cases to illustrate how the tool can aid research on fanfiction metadata. Keywords webtool, metadata, fanfiction, visualization, literary reception, 1. Introduction The Archive of Our Own (AO3) hosts over 11 million works of fanfiction written and enjoyed by over 5 million people. The site is a rich resource for information about fan communities [1], human-computer interaction [2], and digital social reading [3]. AO3’s tagging system is an especially interesting object of study, with tag analysis offering insight into folksonomies [4], cultural evolution [5], and content-level features of fanfiction [6]. FicTag Visualizer makes fanfiction tags in our FicTag Dataset available to researchers through a Streamlit interface [7]. Our poster presentation offers conference attendees access to the visualizer. Compared to existing tools to analyze AO3 data, like the AO3 Scraper [8] or Fandom Stats [9], FicTag Visualizer is easier to use, enables visualization and organization of the data, and gives access to more data: our FicTag Dataset covers works uploaded on AO3 from 2008 until 2023. As scraping continues, we aim to cover around 5000 fandoms, 500.000 tags and around 14 million works by the time of the conference. We present three use cases with FicTag Visualizer. Each concerns an aspect of ‘fanon’, or: ‘any element that is widely accepted among fans, but has little or no basis in canon’ [10]. Fans refer to the source material fanfiction is based on as ‘canon’. Any popular addition to canon is called ‘fanon’. By zooming in on various fanfiction tags, patterns emerge in fanon story elements. The case studies show that: • FicTag Visualizer is easier to use than existing approaches to tag analysis with corpus analysis tools, • FicTag Visualizer can help researchers analyze the interplay between fan discussions and fanfiction content, • starting points for fanfiction trends – which we call legacy fics – can be identified using FicTag Visualizer.

Membrane potential controls somitogenesis Somitogenesis is one of the earliest morphogenic processes during vertebrate embryo development, characterized by orchestrated events of somite formation, growth and differentiation. It is recognized that periodicity of somite formation (τs) is regulated by oscillating expression of genes.1 Their manipulation results in changing pace of somite formation, that nevertheless remains uncoupled from somite growth resulting in abnormally-sized segments.2,3 What sets the species- and tissue-specific τs and what synchronizes somite birth and development to produce undisturbed body pattern is currently unknown.1 Here we show that membrane potential (Vm), modified without any direct gene manipulation, is the factor that maintains a balanced control of fundamental morphogenic events, with τs (cell migration and self-assembly) depending linearly, while somite growth (cell proliferation) exponentially on Vm. Vm, measured here in chick embryo, becomes progressively more negative with somite maturation, yet it changes in a step-like fashion between groups of morphologically identical somites reflecting reported differences in their expression of morphogenic transcription factors.4 By altering Vm of somite-forming cells, by means of adjusting CO2 and KCl in the cell microenvironment, we can accelerate or decelerate τs by about ± 30%, while proportionally changing somite growth to preserve somite aspect ratio. The acceleration, induced by Vm depolarization, is accompanied by the emerging extracellular electric field normal to the somite surface.5 Transmembrane and extracellular voltages affect ion transport and cell metabolism, known to control gene expression6,7, as well as tissue mechanics,8 also contributing to cell migration and proliferation.9 Our data show that by altering electric potentials it is possible to synchronise, at a given pace, cell division, migration and self-assembly resulting in undisturbed pattern formation. Vm depolarization together with CO2 and K+ enriched microenvironment are hallmarks of embryo-, but also tumorigenesis making our findings highly relevant for understanding development of those growing, morphing and spreading tissues. | non_poster |
— 651 656 Celebration & Contemplation, 10th International Conference on Design & Emotion 27 — 30 September 2016, Amsterdam Introduction Among designers and engineers, ambiguity has always been a topic to avoid for the sake of facilitating smooth human-product interactions and ease in product use. Unlike the practices in different fields of art, which make use of ambiguity frequently to evoke intriguing and engaging art experiences, the potentials of ambiguity in product design and what it can offer users as a ‘special’ product experience have been rarely explored. To our knowledge, Gaver, Beaver, and Benford (2003) are among the first to embrace ambiguity as a rich resource for designing human- computer interactions and to offer design strategies to enhance, create or provoke ambiguity when designing information, context, and relationships. Alex Zakkas (2013) explored how ambiguity could induce creativity when people interacted with, and made use of, an object that is abundant in our lives, i.e., a twig. Product designers such as Philippe Starck also explored ambiguity in their work. Starck’s Juicy Salif, with its unconventional features for a lemon juicer, has dual-functionality envisioned by the designer: one being a lemon squeezer, the other being a conversation starter in awkward moments (Lloyd & Snelders, 2003). Although foundations of ambiguity have not been theoretically studied in the field of experience design, designers seem to have been exploring the potentials of ambiguity in practical ways in order to provide users with novel and exciting experiences. With this paper we aim to demonstrate several uses of ambiguity in product design, systematically categorize the examples of ambiguous products, and support our visual findings with theoretical insights. Examples of product ambiguity and theoretical foundations By definition, anything that is ambiguous is open to more than one interpretation and does not have a fixed meaning. The process of discovery of meaning is therefore an exciting and rewarding moment for the user who is interacting with an ambiguous object. Such discovery also implies a personal significance, a secret and intimate relationship between the object and the person. Furthermore, resolving ambiguity not only activates processes of meaning attribution but also affective processes pertaining to aesthetic appreciation and emotions. On a functional level of product experience, ambiguity can leave the door open to interpretation in order to spark users’ creativity and ingenuity in discovering and exploring novel / genuine uses and contexts for the product. Our visual perception constantly detects and identifies objects through categorization. The process of object identification consists of three consequential sub- processes. These are perception, cognition and appraisal leading for emotional response. Perceptual processes try to make sense of the object form, thus it is an internal search to find a match within visual memory (does this object exist?). Perceptual processes may also give rise to sensory pleasure as in aesthetic appreciation. Upon perception, cognitive processes try to make sense of the object identity; thus it is a categorical search within the repertoire of well- established concepts (what exactly is this object?). Upon cognition, emotional processes take over in order to assign the beneficial value (good / bad) of the object; thus, it is a search for a right response (how should I act? Approach or avoid?). Ambiguity is fundamentally a glitch in the process of object identification. Theoretically, we see three possibilities for ambiguity to take place: i. the inherent properties of the object does not give rise to any recognition in the perceiver (i.e., perceptual ambiguity); ii. upon object perception, cognitive processes give rise to many different conceptual associations (i.e., cognitive ambiguity); and iii. upon cognition, appraisal component of emotional Abstract This paper visually | non_poster |

Yumeng Hou*, Fadel Mamar Seydou & David Cian, Laboratory for Experimental Museology (eM+), EPFL Methodology This work proposes a visual search framework for embodied knowledge that leverages semi- supervised learning to compute motion similarity among the less well-annotated videos. First, a high-dimensional feature model is constructed to encode body movements combining aspects of physical postures, kinematic parameters and spatial-temporal transitions into motion time series. It then models similarity distance between vary-in- length videos using respective methods of dynamic time warping (DTW), radial basis function (RBF) and finally a model averaging approach on top. As validation, we implement a query-by-example search engine in Python and conduct top-k search tasks to evaluate its retrieval effectiveness measured by F1-score and run-time efficiency measured by computational time. Acknowledgments The Re-making of Confucian Rites is a major re-enactment project, as a collaboration between Professor Peng Lin at the Centre of Ritual Studies at Tsinghua University(Beijing), Mr. Tsong-Zung Chang and the Jia Li Hall in Hong Kong, Professor Jeffrey Shaw, City University of Hong Kong, and Professor Sarah Kenderdine, Laboratory of Experimental Museology (eM+) at EPFL. Conclusion This work proposes a motion similarity search framework that performs query-by-example for the videos from the Re-making of Confucian Rites. Experimental results conclude an effective retrieval performance, especially the model averaging approach with a confidence at ~75% for top-3 search tasks. A distance tree of video clusters with associated video contents illustrates its robust clustering quality via obvious inner-cluster similarity and inter- cluster difference with regard to human movements. Furthermore, by prototyping an interactive evaluation and annotation tool, we unveil the potential of applying such approach to searching, annotating and representing embodied knowledge in many other cultural datasets lacking established metadata schema or notation systems.

The Intersection of Digital Libraries and Digital Humanities: the role of the embedded librarian for multifarious DH needs Anna Maria Tammaro Editor in Chief Digital Library Perspectives, University of Parma, Italy Klaus Kempf Head of Digital Library Division of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Munich, Germany (retired) Plamen Miltenoff Scholarly Communication Librarian, University of Minnesota, Duluth, United States Marton Nemeth Digital archivist, Blinken OSA Archivum, Budapest, Hungary Abstract: For more than a decade the digitization of libraries and their development of digital services for users have been growing up and developing parallel to the evolution of digital humanities (DH) research, or the application of digital research methods to humanities disciplines, and its growing establishment as a scientific field. More recently on both sides of the pew a partnership between digital humanities (DH and digital libraries (DL) is being forged, coagulating in a demand for DH centers within academic libraries and an increase in the call for “Embedded Digital Librarians”. The purpose of the Poster is to present socially grounded approaches to understanding DLs. The objectives are: to identify and discuss major issues that arise from the intersection of DLs and DH and, more generally, from the social nature of DLs; and to consider implications for the design and evaluation of DLs. The Poster’s theme aligns well with the Dariah 2023 Annual Meeting theme 1 “Sustainable workflows for data management and curation” and offers an opportunity to focus scholarly attention on the social, cultural, political, and economic shaping of digital libraries as sociotechnical systems and their consequences. The authors discuss their current positions and how their experiences have had an impact on DH research. They also suggest directions for future work among researchers and practitioners. | non_poster |

PRIME Policy Brief 10 October 2015 www.prime.uct.ac.za PRIME’s goals are to: (1) Develop evidence on the implementation & scaling-up of mental health treatment in primary & maternal health care, in low resource settings (2) Enhance the uptake of its research evidence amongst key policy partners and relevant stakeholders INTRODUCTION British Journal of Psychiatry Supplement The PRogramme for Improving Mental health carE (PRIME) has recently published findings in a supplement to the British Journal of Psychiatry. The supplement presents district mental healthcare plans from five low- and middle-income countries participating in PRIME. The country-specific articles focusing on the mental healthcare plans are accompanied by a number of cross-country papers describing design, evaluation and costing methodologies. The data emanate from diverse cultural, social and economic settings, but the overall framework for district mental health plans is shared by all settings, as are the methodologies for design, costing and evaluation. The supplement is the culmination of more than three years of work and collaboration between a range of academic institutions, non-governmental organisations, Ministries of Health and the World Health Organization. We share our findings in order to stimulate engagement from a range of local, national and international agencies, wishing to commit themselves to narrowing the enormous treatment gap for mental healthcare in low- and middle-income countries. The purpose of the articles in the supplement is to answer questions regarding the implementation and scaling up of packages of care for mental disorders in low- and middle-income countries. This is the first time that a variety of low- and middle-income countries have devised detailed district level mental healthcare plans for the integration of mental health into primary care, using a common implementation and design framework. This is a significant step forward in answering challenging questions regarding how evidence-based mental health interventions can be delivered in an integrated and culturally sensitive manner.

Uma das sínteses desse esforço analítico coletivo foi assim expressa nas páginas da recém-criada RAC: “Nossa produção é periférica, epistemologicamente falha, metodologicamente deficiente, sem originalidade e prática, em grande escala, mimetismo mal-informado” (Bertero, Caldas, & Wood, 1999, p. 148). Tanto para quem já estava estabelecido no campo, quanto para quem estava em formação e pretendia nele ingressar, esse diagnóstico não era nada animador. Mas certamente serviu para fortalecer as convicções e as práticas daquelas(es) que direcionavam ou decidiram direcionar seus esforços de estudos e pesquisas em direção oposta. Passados vinte e dois anos daquele momento coletivo de consciência crítica de nosso fazer científico, a RAC uma vez mais se coloca à disposição para protagonizar reflexões sobre o assunto, mas agora para fazer um balanço das contribuições mais significativas que autoras(es)/pensadoras(es), grupos de pesquisa e instituições nacionais têm dado para a administração contemporânea. Nesse sentido, o presente Fórum tem como propósito publicar uma série de Ensaios Teóricos ou Pensatas Provocativas que reflitam sobre o seguinte questionamento: Quais as contribuições que autoras(es)/pensadoras(es), grupos de pesquisa e instituições nacionais trouxeram ou tem trazido para a administração contemporânea1?

Poster: Towards a Secure and Practical System to Obfuscate Tor Network Traffic Minjae Seo†∗, Myoungsung You†∗, Taejune Park‡, Seungwon Shin†, and Jinwoo Kim§∗∗ †KAIST, ‡Chonnam National University, §Kwangwoon University Abstract—Tor (The Onion Routing) has emerged as a promis- ing open-source privacy network for providing anonymous communication in sensitive tasks, such as journalism and activism. However, it is also susceptible to deanonymization attacks, particularly flow correlation attacks, which iden- tify users by correlating unique traffic flow characteristics observed at the ingress and egress segments of a Tor con- nection. To mitigate these attacks, various traffic obfuscation techniques have been developed; however, they often suffer from bandwidth waste and CPU resource exhaustion, critical issues in the Tor ecosystem where efficient utilization of the limited, voluntarily-shared bandwidth and resource of nodes is crucial. In this paper, we propose ODIN, a Tor-tailored hardware-based security solution that hinders adversaries from launching flow correlation attacks. Unlike previous approaches that primarily added randomly crafted padding bytes to packets, ODIN innovatively minimizes bandwidth waste by slicing and reorganizing packets destined for the same server with the aid of the context of Tor circuits, effectively addressing the issue of wasted network resources. 1. Introduction Tor (The Onion Routing) is an open-source privacy network that enables Internet users, particularly those in contexts with active censorship such as journalists, ac- tivists, or whistle-blowers, to access anonymous online services. The Tor network is widely used, with over 3 million daily users and a total of 6,000 volunteer relay nodes transmitting terabytes of traffic every day. As the nature of Tor aims to facilitate anonymous communication for sensitive tasks, Tor is naturally a target for many deanonymization attacks. Among them, the flow correlation attack [8] is obviously the most powerful at- tack correlating unique characteristics of traffic flows (e.g., packet sizes, interval times) observed from the ingress and egress segments in a Tor connection. The pioneering research shows that it is effective for deanonymizing Tor clients and servers. For example, RAPTOR [10] achieved a 90% accuracy in deanonymizing user identity. Also, the state-of-the-art flow correlation of DeepCorr [9] offered a correlation accuracy of 96% even with shorter flow observations than previous methods required. In recognition of the threat posed by flow correlation attacks, several traffic obfuscation techniques [3], [4], [6] have been developed to mitigate them. However, these techniques are not well suited to the requirements of the Tor network due to the following issues: CPU Resource Exhaustion. Existing secret Tor relay nodes (e.g., bridge nodes [4]) or pluggable transports ∗Co-first authors, ∗∗Corresponding author (e.g., obfs4, meek [6]) are utilized to conceal the fact that clients are using the Tor network by randomizing packet bytes or disguising a Tor connection as other legitimate connections (e.g., Skype). However, these techniques rely on software-based systems to process individual packets, which significantly consumes CPU resources compared to using ordinary Tor relay nodes. Among them, it is partic- ularly crucial for exit nodes to ensure efficient resource utilization, as they play a vital role in maintaining unin- terrupted routing and communication in the Tor network. Tor Bandwidth Waste. Other techniques [5], [7] add crafted padding bytes to the original packets and control packet transmission timing to obfuscate the size and in- terval time of individual packets. However, the inclusion of padding bytes in these methods imposes additional burdens on individual packets and can waste Tor network bandwidth, particularly in situations where a limited num- ber of volunteer nodes are shared by many Tor clients.

Page | 1 Using Twitter data to analyse the spatial patterns of online anti- immigration sentiment in the UK Matt Mason*1 and Francisco Rowe†1 1Geographic Data Science Lab, The University of Liverpool GISRUK 2023 (Preliminary Abstract) Summary There is a growing academic literature examining anti-immigration sentiment posted onto social media platforms, with evidence emerging of its impact on rises in “real physical” incidents of hate. Despite this, little is understood about the spatial pattern of the production of online anti-immigration content and contextual factors contributing to shaping its spatial configuration. This study aims to use Twitter data and natural language processing to analyse spatial patterns of online sentiment towards immigration across sub-regional areas of the UK, and identify key demographic and contextual factors associated with the production of anti-immigration sentiment on social media platforms. KEYWORDS: anti-immigration sentiment, social media, natural language processing, early career 1. Research Context Recent decades have seen anti-immigration rhetoric pervade public discourse across much of the global North. This has led to an upsurge in support for populist right-wing political parties (Halla et al., 2017) and the implementation of harsher policies towards migrants and refugees across many countries. Public opinion towards immigration is influenced increasingly by social media platforms (Ekham, 2019) and evidence is emerging of a spatial relationship between the production and consumption of hate speech against minority groups on social media and incidents of offline hate crimes (Williams et al., 2020; Müller and Schwarz, 2021). Despite this, little is understood about how online anti- immigration sentiment is locally distributed across space. This study aims to analyse local spatial patterns of the production of anti-immigration sentiment on social media and identify the key demographic and contextual factors associated with this, using the example of the UK and data collected from Twitter. This work is of interest to both researchers interested in understanding public attitudes to immigration and to policy makers who must navigate the societal impact social media platforms can have. Production of online anti-immigration sentiment is likely to be unequally distributed across local areas inside a country. Prior quantitative analysis has demonstrated that the amount of online content targeting migrant and ethnic minority communities differs between nations (Mondal et al., 2017; Rowe et al., 2021). Additionally, attitudes to immigration have been shown to vary depending on intergroup contact between native and foreign-born individuals; some studies have provided evidence for interaction dampening xenophobic views (Jolly and DiGiusto, 2014), with others finding the opposite in areas with challenging economic conditions (Hjerm, 2009). Levels of interaction between native and migrant communities are likely to differ significantly across areas of the UK given the unequal spatial distribution of migrants. Thus, we expect our results will show a distribution of relative levels of online anti-immigration sentiment production associated to a degree with levels of intergroup contact across areas. Previous research has found that demographic characteristics, such as education and income levels, can influence attitudes towards immigration also, with both having a negative relationship with holding views hostile to immigration (McLaren and Johnson, 2007).

The ELEXIS corpus has parallel annotations in ten European languages, serving as a cross-lingual benchmark for evaluating low and medium-resourced European languages. The focus in this paper is on multiword expressions (MWEs) and named entities (NEs), their recognition in the ELEXIS-SR sentence set, and comparison with annotations in other languages. The first steps in building the Serbian sense inventory are discussed, and some results concerning MWEs and NEs are analysed. Once completed, the ELEXIS-SR corpus will be the first sense annotated corpus using the Serbian WordNet (SrpWN). Finally, ideas to represent MWE lexicon entries as Linguistic Linked-Open Data (LLOD) and connect them with occurrences in the corpus are presented. Keywords: multiword expression, named entity, word sense disambiguation, sense repository, LLOD 1. Introduction Even in the current era of neural language models, there is a high demand for high-quality, openly ac- cessible corpora that are annotated with senses, especially for training and evaluating semantically related NLP tasks, like word sense disambigua- tion (WSD) and natural language understanding (NLU) (Pedersen et al., 2023b). Despite many ef- forts in the field over the past decades, such cor- pora are still scarce for many languages with lim- ited resources, including Serbian. This scarcity is caused not only by the lack of freely avail- able sense inventories, which are necessary for these tasks, but also by the complexity and cost of compiling annotations since it requires substantial manpower, preferably from experienced linguists or lexicographers. For Serbian, the availability of curated dictionaries for such use is limited, and not even subsets for particular corpora annotation are available. The paper is structured as follows: In Section 2 we give an account of related work, and con- tinue by presenting in Section 3 the ELEXIS-WSD dataset, its extension with Serbian data and its ba- sic annotation layers prior to the semantic annota- tion. Section 4 discusses the annotation of MWEs and NEs in the ELEXIS-WSD as well as in its Ser- bian extension. The building of the sense inven- tory for Serbian and the role of MWEs and NEs in it are presented in Section 5. Possible ideas for pub- lishing dictionaries of MWEs as LLOD and asso- ciating its entries with corresponding occurrences in the corpus are developed in Section 6. Finally, in Section 7 we conclude and discuss open ques- tions, potential future research, and development. 2. Related work A semantic concordance is a textual corpus and a lexicon, combined so that every substantive word in the text is linked to its appropriate sense in the lexicon (Miller et al., 1993). The popularity of SemCor (Landes et al., 1998), one of the ini- tial sense-annotated English corpora based on the Princeton WordNet sense inventory (Fellbaum, 1998) inspired the NLP community to build sense- annotated corpora for many languages. Exploiting parallel texts in the creation of multilingual semanti- cally annotated resources produced the MultiSem- Cor Corpus (Bentivogli and Pianta, 2005 | non_poster |

Subtle changes in physiological parameters (such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and skin temperature), discernible by wearable devices, could act as early digital biomarkers of infections. Our primary objective was to assess the performance of statistical and algorithmic models using data from wearable devices to detect deviations compatible with a SARS-CoV-2 infection. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (known as CENTRAL), International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, and ClinicalTrials.gov on July 27, 2021 for publications, preprints, and study protocols describing the use of wearable devices to identify a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Of 3196 records identified and screened, 12 articles and 12 study protocols were analysed. Most included articles had a moderate risk of bias, as per the National Institute of Health Quality Assessment Tool for Observational and Cross- Sectional Studies. The accuracy of algorithmic models to detect SARS-CoV-2 infection varied greatly (area under the curve 0·52–0·92). An algorithm’s ability to detect presymptomatic infection varied greatly (from 20% to 88% of cases), from 14 days to 1 day before symptom onset. Increased heart rate was most frequently associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, along with increased skin temperature and respiratory rate. All 12 protocols described prospective studies that had yet to be completed or to publish their results, including two randomised controlled trials. The evidence surrounding wearable devices in the early detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection is still in an early stage, with a limited overall number of studies identified. However, these studies show promise for the early detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Large prospective, and preferably controlled, studies recruiting and retaining larger and more diverse populations are needed to provide further evidence. Introduction On Dec 31, 2019, WHO recognised the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, a novel virus in the coronavirus family.1 Since then, the outbreak of illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19) has become a global pandemic, causing more than 458 million cases and 6 million deaths, until March, 2022.2 A key strategy for containing the COVID-19 pandemic has been the rapid identification and contact tracing of inf | non_poster |

Konzipiert war die Reise als Vorbereitung einer über Jahre geplanten, sehr viel größeren For schungsreise, die Humboldt schließlich nach Ameri ka führen sollte. So schrieb er am 31. Dezember 1797 in einem Brief, die Zwecke seiner Reise seien „keine anderen als die des Lernens, Studirens, Einübens mit meinen physikalischen und astronomischen Instru menten, Präparirens zur westindischen Reise […]“ (Humboldt 1973, Brief Nr. 424). In der Tat widmete sich Humboldt während dieser etwa zehn Monate dauernden „Reise vor der Reise“ einem umfangreichen Übungs- und Forschungs programm. Er übte sich im Umgang mit astrono mischen und chemischen Messinstrumenten wie Sextanten, Eudiometern (vgl. Poster 2) und Hygro metern, er verglich Instrumente unterschiedlicher Hersteller miteinander und experimentierte mit chemischen Verfahren, die im Feld mit einfachen Mitteln durchführbar sein sollten. Auf jeder Station seiner Reise besuchte er Gelehrte der unterschied lichsten Fachrichtungen, aus Medizin, Astronomie, Geologie, Chemie und Botanik – auch, um sich auf die Begegnung mit der Vegetation in der Neuen Welt vorzubereiten. Humboldts wissenschaftliche Interessen waren vielfältig und seine Experimente berührten nahezu sämtliche Bereiche der Natur- forschung um 1800. HUMBOLDTS AUFZEICHNUNGEN DER REISE Darüber hinaus übte Humboldt die Notation und Erfassung seiner Beobachtungen und Messdaten in einem Reisejournal ein. Diese Aufzeichnungen sind kein Tagebuch im Sinne einer von Tag zu Tag geführ ten Reisedokumentation. Humboldt hielt seine Messergebnisse, wie barome trische Höhenmessungen, Positionsbestimmungen und chemische Analysen der Luft, in einer kom plexen, bisher noch nicht eingehend untersuchten Ordnung fest. Sie folgen einerseits grob der chro nologischen Abfolge der einzelnen Reisestationen, zugleich lassen sich aber auch Andeutungen einer thematischen Schwerpunktsetzung erkennen. Ent sprechend Humboldts vielseitigen Interessen und Paul-Julius Meyer und Christof Sendhardt Tätigkeiten ist das Reisejour nal sehr vielschichtig: Neben tabellarischen Messreihen finden sich Adresseinträ ge, Literaturhinweise, per sönliche Aufzeichnungen und längere Textelemente sowie Streichungen, Rand notizen, Querverweise, nummerierte Paragraphen und fortlaufende Tabellen – das Reisetagebuch doku mentiert so Art und Pra xis der Naturbeobachtung des jungen Humboldt und gibt interessante Einblicke in seine wissenschaftliche Denk- und Arbeitsweise. EIN DIGITALES TAGEBUCH Das Editionsprojekt edition humboldt digital wird das Tagebuch der Reise nach Dresden, Wien und Salzburg 1797–98 als Teil der Ameri kanischen Reisetagebücher erstmalig und vollständig historisch-kritisch edieren. Die grundlegenden Ar beitsschritte unterscheiden sich dabei nicht von denen klassischer gedruckter Editionen: Transkrip tion, Kommentierung sowie das Verfassen von Ein führungstexten zählen selbstverständlich dazu. Der Text wird in der Markup-Sprache TEI-XML erstellt und gemäß dem Basisformat des Deut schen Textarchivs (DTA) ausgezeichnet (vgl. Poster 3). Dadurch wird der Text mit den für komplexe Volltextsuchen notwendigen Meta- informationen angereichert und ist durch Schnitt- stellen mit den anderen Editionsvorhaben der edi tion humboldt digital sowie dem DTA vernetzt. Ge genüber gedruckten Editionen zeichnet sich die Online-Edition nicht nur durch Multifunktionalität und -medialität aus, sondern bietet auch eine Ver bindung zu laufend aktualisierten Datenbanken (z.
