Abstract: Abstract Robotic solutions designed to cater to the needs of the elderly, commonly known as eldercare robots or nursing robots, hold the promise of delivering intelligent elderly care, alleviating societal caregiving pressures, and reducing financial burdens on nations. Scholars across various disciplines have delved into the realm of eldercare robotics from different perspectives. Four types of robots at the design level are currently used in the elderly care industry: anthropomorphic, zoomorphic, cartoon, and mechanical-functional. They can play such roles as assistants, companions, and even surrogate pets, providing support for the elderly’s daily routines, cognitive enhancement, and emotional well-being. Acceptance of eldercare robots hinges on three key factors: technical attributes, user-specific characteristics, and the surrounding social environment. The utilization of eldercare robots has the potential to positively impact various aspects of the elderly population, such as their physiological health, cognitive abilities, psychological well-being, and social interactions. However, it can also lead to social isolation, reduced autonomy, increased sense of objectification, blurred responsibility attribution, and tendencies towards deceptive and childish behavior. Additionally, eldercare robots also influence healthcare professionals in terms of workload, working conditions, job satisfaction and sense of purpose, both positively and negatively. This paper examines these research findings within the context of theories in communication, technology ethics, and medical ethics, shedding light on the multifaceted landscape of eldercare robotics.

Abstract: As the complexity of processor microarchitecture and applications increases, obtaining performance optimization knowledge, such as critical dependent chains, becomes more challenging. To tackle this issue, this paper employs pattern mining methods to analyze the critical path of processor micro-execution dependence graphs. We propose a high average utility pattern mining algorithm called Dependence Graph Miner (DG-Miner) based on the characteristics of dependence graphs. DG-Miner overcomes the limitations of current pattern mining algorithms for dependence graph pattern mining by offering support for variable utility, candidate generation using endpoint matching, the adjustable upper bound, and the concise pattern judgment mechanism. Experiments reveal that, compared with existing upper bound candidate generation methods, the adjustable upper bound reduces the number of candidate patterns by 28.14% and the running time by 27% on average. The concise pattern judgment mechanism enhances the conciseness of mining results by 16.31% and reduces the running time by 39.82%. Furthermore, DG-Miner aids in identifying critical dependent chains, critical program regions, and performance exceptions.

Abstract: This study deals with the petrography and heavy mineral analysis of the Injana sandstone at Al-Habbaniyah City. Thirteen samples are collected from the Injana Formation. A petrographic study is achieved on ten samples while all samples are analyzed for heavy minerals. The petrographic analysis showed that the common components of the Injana sandstone are rock fragments, especially sedimentary fragments. Quartz grains (monocrystalline and polycrystalline) and feldspars (k-feldspar and plagioclase), bounded by matrix and carbonate cement. The suggested provenance for the Injana Formation is mainly sedimentary and igneous sources and the less dominant metamorphic source. These sandstones are considered to be mineralogically submature-immature and classified as litharenites. Heavy minerals analysis showed two sets of minerals including opaque and transparent minerals, the opaque minerals are significant components of the heavy mineral assemblages, then chlorite, epidotes, amphiboles, garnet, pyroxenes (ortho and clino), zircon, tourmaline, biotite, muscovite, rutile, and others. This assemblage implies that the dense minerals are typically found in basic igneous and metamorphic rocks, with less frequent occurrences in acidic igneous and reworked sediments. According to QLF and QmFLt classifications, the tectonic provenance of the Injana sandstone is described as recycled orogen. The MF-MT-GM classification showed that the sandstone of Injana is derived primarily from active continental margins. The result of maturity MI and ZTR revealed low values of maturity, the MI value ranges between 0.6 to 1.5 with an average of 0.9 and ZTR Maturity ranges between 0.7% and 9% with an average of 3.9%, these low values of maturity indicate sub-mature to immature sandstone.

Abstract: This paper describes the design and build of a pilot Natural Sciences Collections Digitisation Dashboard (CDD). The CDD will become a key service for the Distributed System of Scientific Collections Research Infrastructure (DiSSCo) and aims to improve the discoverability of natural science collections (NSCs) held in European institutions, both digitised and undigitised. Furthermore, it will serve as a dynamic visual assessment tool for strategic decision-making, including the prioritisation of digitisation. The CDD pilot includes high-level information from nine European NSCs, covering the number of objects, taxonomic scope, storage type, chronostratigraphy (Earth Science Collections), geographical region and level of detail in digitisation. This information is structured through a standardised Collection Classification Scheme, which uses high-level categorisation to describe physical natural science collections.

Abstract: Background: Ethics is the theory or science of the moral behavior of humans in society. Traditionally, we value “unethical” actions that go against determining morality in a specific context. One of the sub-domains of Ethics is Computational Ethics, which deals with ethical dilemmas that are strictly related to computational issues. Dilemmas in this area involve privacy, improper access, intellectual property, digital norms and laws, power, socio-technical aspects (such as gender discrimination), and robotics, among others. In this context, “Software Engineering” and “Software” are different objects. Engineering is an act, a practice, as also coding, programming, and software reuse. As with any act, moral and subsequent ethical considerations are appropriate. We characterize software as an object of concrete reality, as a sociotechnical system formed by a technical artifact, human aspect, and procedural aspect. This assumption will form the main base discussion of ethics and morals in Software Engineering in this paper. Objective: The goal of this paper is to unveil the Brazilian Software Engineering ethics panorama. Method: We follow the rigor of, and inspired by, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) protocol to answer the question: how does ethics explicitly permeate the Brazilian Software Engineering publications between the last thirteen years (2010 and 2022)? Results: After analyzing 1529 papers through the research protocol, 175 (≈11%) presented some explicit occurrence of ethical aspects. The occurrence was relevant in only 7 papers (≈0.4%), exposing a shallow scenario on ethical or moral aspects. Conclusions: If Ethics is a topic considered important to deliberate, research or discuss, this did not occur significantly in the Brazilian Software Engineering research scenario since 2010. With this result in mind, we discussed parallel terms and concepts to enrich the contribution of the qualitative synthesis.

Abstract: This research explores the multifaceted concept of translanguaging in the context of teaching English as a foreign language in three universities in North Sumatra. Translanguaging, a term encompassing various aspects of multilingualism, is examined as a pedagogical approach that utilizes multiple languages within a classroom setting. The study investigates translanguaging practices among lecturers and aims to address three key research questions: the types of translanguaging practices, perceptions of lecturers and students, and the motivations behind incorporating translanguaging in teaching and learning activities. The research method is a qualitative method with a case study approach model focusing on the exploration of a "bounded system" on one specific case or on some cases in detail by exploring data in depth. Through a combination of surveys and interviews with lecturers, the study identifies eight motivations for the intentional use of translanguaging practices. These motivations include adjusting to students' proficiency levels, clarification, and emphasis, translanguaging as an academic strategy, providing challenges for student growth, considering diverse student demographics, expressing firmness and solidarity, addressing real lexical needs in communication, and expressing group identity. The findings reveal positive responses to translanguaging from both lecturers and students, highlighting its versatility in meeting educational objectives and fostering effective communication in diverse learning environments. The motivations align with existing literature, emphasizing the adaptability and significance of translanguaging in enriching the teaching and learning experience. The study concludes with several insights into translanguaging practices in North Sumatra's universities and recommends possibilities for future research and practical implementation. The proposed recommendations include professional development for lecturers, curriculum design, student training, and calls for more studies in tranlanguaging. Overall, this research contributes to the understanding of translanguaging motivations and offers practical suggestions for enhancing its integration in higher education institutions.
