The need for open, transdisciplinary, and ethical science in seismology

Reducing the seismic risk for societies requires a bridge between scientific knowledge and societal actions. In recent years, three subjects that facilitate this connection gained growing importance: open science, transdisciplinarity, and ethics. We outline their relevance in general and specifically at the example of `'dynamic seismic risk' as explored in a dedicated workshop. We argue that these reflections can be transferred to other research fields for improving their practical and societal relevance. We provide recommendations for scientists at all levels to make science more open, transdisciplinary, and ethical. Only with a transition can we, as scientists, address current societal challenges and increase societies' resilience to disasters.

Concluding Thoughts

We see three primary contributions of this formalization of novelty that will spur further research. First, formalization forces one to specify (or intentionally disregard) the required items in the theory. This can lead to insights about the problem and fill in knowledge gaps. For example, when applying the theory to the CartPole domain, numerous unanticipated issues were highlighted, new predictions made, and new experiments validated the new insights. Second, formalization provides a common language to define and compare models of novelty across problems. The precision of terms reduces confusion, while the flexibility allows it to be applied to a wide range of problems. Third, the formalization allows one to make predictions about where or why experiments incorporating some form of novelty might run into difficulties. For example, when the world-level and perceptual-level dissimilarity assessments disagree, we predict novelty problems will be more difficult. One example of difficulty is world-disparity using variables not represented in perceptual space.

Leadership and Management Competencies of Ideological and Political College Counselors in Higher Educational Institutions in China Toward a Leadership Development Program

According to the Vocational Competence Standards for College Counselors (Interim) issued by the Ministry of Education of China, this study constructs the leadership of college counselors from four dimensions: ideological education guidance ability, organizational management ability, consulting service ability, theory and practice research. Based on the questionnaire and interview survey of 320 counselors and counselors' management positions from six colleges and universities in Hunan Province, and the use of factor molecule, variance analysis, multiple regression analysis, structural equation and other measurement methods, this paper discusses the main factors that affect counselors' leadership ability from individual factors and school factors. The results showed that the gender samples had a significant effect on the consulting service ability. Age samples show significant influence on organizational management ability, and counselors of different ages have significant differences in individual dimensions of leadership ability. The years of working as counselors have significant effects on ideological education and guidance, organizational management ability and consulting service ability. Among them, counselors lack the consciousness and ability of theoretical practice research. Most counselors lack subjective initiative and ability in theoretical and practical research. According to the research results, through the personal factors (theoretical learning, vocational training, skill competition, academic exchange), school factors (career development, ability training, assessment and incentive) two levels of seven dimensions of the influencing factors of college counselors' leadership, in-depth research is made. In addition, specific suggestions are put forward from the following five aspects: building a learning and training platform for counselors, building a theoretical and practical research platform, creating a platform to show counselors' work performance and professional quality development, and establishing target incentive and career development incentive, so as to promote the professional, professional and expert development of counselors and effectively improve the overall quality and construction level of counselors.
Automatic Reading Order Detection of Comic Panels

Tasks such as object detection for comic content are attracting more and more attention from the public. A lot of work focuses on character detection, text recognition, or other tasks. However, only a few of them focus on the reading order detection of panels. In this paper, we review several existing sorting methods and propose a novel method based on these existing methods. Experiment results show that the proposed method outperforms the baseline methods. The proposed method can deal with pages with basic layouts easily. And sometimes has the ability to deal with some pages with complex layouts.
TAHIR: Transformer-Based Affine Histological Image Registration

In medical practice it is often necessary to jointly analyze differently stained histological sections. However, when slides are being prepared tissues are subjected to deformations and registration is highly required. Although the transformation between images is generally non-rigid, one of the most challenging subproblems is to calculate the initial affine transformation. Existing learning-based approaches adopt convolutional architectures that are usually limited in receptive field, while global context should be considered. Coupled with small datasets and unsupervised learning paradigm, this results in overfitting and adjusting the structure only locally. We introduce transformer-based affine histological image registration (TAHIR) approach. It successfully aggregates global information, requires no histological data to learn and is based on knowledge transfer from nature domain. The experiments show that TAHIR outperforms existing methods by a large margin on most-commonly used histological image registration benchmark in terms of target registration error, being more robust at the same time. The code is available at https://github.com/VladPyatov/ImgRegWithTransformers .
Accelerating Classification of Symbolic Road Markings (SRMs) in Autonomous Cars Through Computer Vision-Based Machine Learning

Road markings are an essential and integral part of safe driving where main landmarks are used to guide drivers. Developing a robust road-marking interpretation system is challenging because of several aspects such as changes in light conditions, varying weather conditions, shadows, and faded signs and text. This chapter investigates the use of deep learning methods such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to classify symbolic road markings. Previous work in the literature has reported techniques which are predominantly based on feature extraction and template matching which restricts the use of such methods in real time. For autonomous vehicles, road markings need to be interpreted in real time to make timely decisions. This book chapter investigates and presents CNN-based image preprocessing methods to detect road markings for autonomous vehicles. Several CNN architectures were investigated with multiple convolutional, max pooling, and fully connected layers. This chapter will contribute by developing a model with low computational requirements which is essential for autonomous vehicles. It will further explore state-of-the-art image preprocessing methods such as grayscaling, top-hat, and Otsu’s method. The performance of the proposed road-marking detector will be benchmarked using a public dataset with labeled road-marking images.
The Role of Informality in Moderating the Impact of Adverse Macroeconomic Shocks

This paper provides a simple demonstration of an empirical observation pointed out by the existing literature that the presence of informality in the production sector of an economy moderates the impact of economic shocks affecting it. We show that in the presence of informality, adverse demand shocks have a lower impact on aggregate output and adverse supply shocks have a lower impact on prices as well as output. Both would imply that countries without having substantial informal sector, largely more affluent nations, would be exposed more to higher prices following such shocks. This is consistent with contemporary evidence of stagflation in developed countries. Being the residual sector, the informal sector inevitably moves in the opposite direction to the formal sector during a bad shock episode, cushioning its aggregate effect. We then show that the argument goes through if the firms have to finance their working capital requirements by borrowing from the market.
