Taxonomies and Ontologies in Wikipedia and Wikidata: An In-Depth Examination of Knowledge Organization Systems
Authors: Centelles Miquel , Ferran Ferrer Núria
Published: May 2024

This article examines Wikipedia’s knowledge organization system (KOS) and the broader KOS of Wikidata. We study the structure, functions, and relationship of Wikipedia’s KOS to concepts like taxonomies and folksonomies, highlighting its unique characteristics compared to social media. A significant aspect of our examination is the gender-related content classification in the Catalan edition of Wikipedia (Viquipèdia), which notably excludes female categories and non-binary gender classifications. We explore the potential implications of these restrictions on gender bias within the platform. Furthermore, we broaden our investigative methodology to assess the KOS of Wikidata. Wikidata is a dataset built on ontological principles, designed to enhance and enrich Wikipedia’s digital, collaborative encyclopedia. The findings shed light on the presence or absence of gender bias and contribute to the ongoing discourse on promoting inclusivity and diversity in online knowledge sharing.

Authors: Sinichenko Vladimir
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the issues of organizing the supply of weapons from abroad to the Russian Empire during the First World War. In 1915, the Russian army lacked military equipment for its multimillion-dollar mobilized army. The pre-war reserve of 5 million Mosin rifles was not enough to conduct long-term hostilities. Therefore, the Russian military authorities were forced to resort to mass purchases of small arms abroad from both allies and neutral countries before the completion of the military mobilization of industry. However, a number of neutral Latin American countries (Brazil, Argentina) refused Russia military supplies, despite all the efforts made by the military and diplomats of the Russian empire.
The history of economic methods of assessing social capital
Authors: Tashtamirov Magomed , Kuchkovskaya Natalya , Avdeeva Irina , Burova Olga
Published: May 2024

The problem of measuring group social capital is primarily related to the difficulty of determining its indicators and collecting and processing the necessary statistical data. The systematization of statistical information is secondary to the justification of indicators, since it is initially important to specify “What?”, and then - “How to measure social capital?”. There is no unified position on this in academic circles. In the 21st century, thanks to special research by individual national governments and groups of scientists under the auspices of the World Bank and the OECD, a significant breakthrough has been made in elucidating indicators for measuring social capital. The Governments of Australia, Great Britain, Canada and New Zealand have been the most active in developing a methodology for assessing social capital.

Published: May 2024

Contexto: A influência das orientações educacionais dos professores de Educação Física (EF) nas práticas pedagógicas e na coeducação é vital para entender como o currículo e as metodologias de ensino podem ser otimizados para promover a igualdade de género. Objetivo: Este estudo visa explorar as interrelações entre as orientações educacionais dos professores de EF e a implementação de práticas coeducativas, pretendendo identificar desafios e oportunidades para a promoção da igualdade de género nas aulas de EF. Métodos: Utilizando uma metodologia de métodos mistos, o estudo envolveu 77 professores portugueses de EF (Midade = 47,69 ± 8,82 anos; 57,14% sexo masculino). Os dados quantitativos foram recolhidos através do Value Orientation Inventory – Short Form. Doze professores foram inquiridos recorrendo a entrevista semiestruturada para validação qualitativa das orientações educacionais. Resultados: Verificou-se uma correlação moderada entre a Mestria Disciplinar e outras orientações, com exceção do Processo de Aprendizagem. Professores mais jovens mostraram preferência pela Integração Ecológica, enquanto variações significativas foram notadas em função das características contratuais dos professores em relação ao Processo de Aprendizagem. Os resultados qualitativos reforçaram a complexidade das orientações educacionais, revelando que as preferências e práticas pedagógicas variam amplamente, influenciando significativamente a implementação de práticas coeducativas nas aulas de EF. Conclusões: O estudo conclui que, apesar dos esforços para promover práticas coeducativas, existem desequilíbrios curriculares que favorecem os rapazes.

Exploring Ferritin’s Potential Role in Saltatory Conduction
Authors: Mahanth Ranjan
Published: May 2024

The current model of saltatory conduction portrays myelin sheaths as insulating tissue wrapped tightly around the neuronal axon. Recent experimental data suggests that this model is inaccurate, and that saltatory conduction involves a conductive periaxonal circuit. Ferritin has been suggested as a charge transporter involved in the periaxonal circuitry. This review aims to propose and provide evidence for a more detailed model, where myelination increases signal transmission speed by creating a circuit with parallel branches of ferritin wires.
Designing fieldwork methods at Palaeolithic sites, the examples of Combe-Grenal and Le Moustier (Dordogne, France): why and how to acquire the data we need
Authors: Discamps Emmanuel , Thomas Marc , Faivre Jean-Philippe , Gravina Brad
Published: May 2024

In archaeology, the robustness and accuracy of field data, which are unique due to the destructive nature of excavation, condition subsequent studies of past lifestyles. Few articles, however, describe, justify and discuss the excavation methods adopted. This often causes difficulties for researchers wishing to resume the study of a collection, compare data between different sites and also raises questions about the reproducibility of our field practices.In this article, we describe the excavation methods used at Combe-Grenal and Le Moustier (Dordogne, France), after attempting to justify and explain the nature of the data required by the various specialists (by drawing up specifications). These two sites, which are very rich in archaeological artefacts, required us to consider how to optimise the methods of acquiring field data in terms of time and consumption of plastic bags. Two simple technical solutions proved particularly effective: a) the use of a single, continuous numbering system for all the data and b) a system of compartmentalised trays and boxes. Throughout the article, the dialectic between needs, data, methods and justification for the choices made is discussed.

This article proposes the modified KNN (K Nearest Neighbor)algorithm which receives a table as its input data and is applied tothe text categorization. The motivations of this research are thesuccessful results from applying the table based algorithms to thetext categorizations in previous works and the expectation ofsynergy effect between the text categorization and the wordcategorization. In this research, we define the similarity metricbetween two tables representing texts, modify the KNN algorithm byreplacing the exiting similarity metric by the proposed one, andapply it to the text categorization. The proposed KNN is empiricallyvalidated as the better approach in categorizing texts in newsarticles and opinions. In using the table based KNN algorithm, it iseasier to trace results from categorizing texts.

Authors: Zomahoun Hervé Tchala Vignon , Giroux Catherine M. , Boies Sophie , Bush Paula , Alkhaldi Mohammed , Kengne Talla Pascaline , Poitras Marie-Eve , Couturier Yves , Ahmed Sara
Published: May 2024

Objective: Adopting a learning health system (LHS) is a promising approach to bridging knowledge-to-practice gaps. The aim of this study was to explore how LHS are defined and characterized in the literature, the barriers and facilitators health organizations may face when implementing an LHS, and what tools currently exist to help health organizations assess their readiness to implement an LHS. Methods: A literature review was conducted to identify items relevant for developing the content of an LHS readiness questionnaire. PubMed and the Learning Health Systems journal were searched from inception to December 2023. Publications that addressed the definitions, frameworks, characteristics, barriers, and facilitators of an LHS were included. Results: Of the 28 included articles, 16 provided a definition of LHS–eight of which were based on the Institute of Medicine’s definition (i.e., where science, informatics, incentives, and culture are aligned for continuous improvement and innovation). 16 articles provided domains associated with an LHS framework that informed our questionnaire. These included data to knowledge, knowledge to practice, practice to data, and core values. Barriers to adopting an LHS approach included financial constraints, time, and the complexity of the task; facilitators included financial incentives, government mandates, and consistent implementation across centres. Conclusion: Few specific LHS readiness tools have been outlined in the extant literature. Current readiness tools derived from quality improvement contexts may be helpful but not sufficiently specific for assessing healthcare organizations’ readiness to implement an LHS. A new LHS readiness questionnaire may help meet this need, but further refinement and validation is required.
Enhancing High School Students' Understanding of Plant Diversity through an Innovative and Engaging Educational Card Game
Authors: Suriyabutr Ariya , Yasri Pratchayapong
Published: May 2024

One of the fundamental components of science education in Thailand and other regions is the study of plant diversity. Nevertheless, students' lack of interest in this topic may be due to its overwhelming content and the perceived disconnection to their daily lives. To address this issue, an educational card game that incorporates concepts of plant taxonomy, distinctive characteristics, phylum, and several examples of local plants was developed to provide a more engaging, relevant, and conceptually appropriate approach to learning. An investigation of students' conceptual understanding before and after playing the card game, as well as their motivation towards the intrinsic value of the learning, was undertaken to assess the efficacy of the developed card game. The results of the study revealed that students' participation in the activity led to an increase in conceptual knowledge and a heightened degree of internalisation in motivation. As such, it is recommended that teachers incorporate the use of this educational card game in their curriculum to enhance students' understanding and appreciation of the topic of plant diversity.

Introduction. The process of treating infertility using the in vitro method is often long-term, demanding and burdensome. Its effects can affect both physical and mental health. The study aims to determine the impact of trying to conceive using the in vitro method on the quality of life and psychological well-being of women.Materials and methods . Respondents completed an online questionnaire, which assessed how undergoing the in vitro procedure affects their quality of life and mental state. The experiment was conducted from July to December 2023 and 100 women involved. It was based on an questionnaire created by the authors and questionnaire tools: Fertility Quality of Life , Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) , and selected subscales from Berlin Social Support Scales (BSSS).Results. Among the respondents, 85% of women do not have children.The average age of the women studied was 34 years, while the average number of years of infertility treatment was 6 years. Respondents rate their quality of life the best in the area of relationship, but the worst in the area of emotions. More than 80% of respondents were at risk of developing depressive disorders of varying severity. Nevertheless, the vast majority are satisfied with the support they receive.Conclusions. Negative emotions that accompany women during in vitro process significantly affect their quality of life. They also contribute to an increased risk of mental disorders. Women should be assured that they can receive specialist help from gynecologists, midwives, nurses and psychologists.

Visual perception of biological motion plays a crucial role in comprehending our environment. Despite the well-established contribution of multisensory integration to our understanding of biological motion perception, whether expectations affect our biological motion perception in audio-visual settings remains unexplored. The present study investigates the impact of congruent and incongruent auditory cues on detecting biological motions presented in point-light display form, exploring the impact of predictive processing on biological motion perception in the audio-visual context. We conducted an experiment where participants viewed either congruent auditory priors, which gave the correct information about the biological motion, or incongruent conditions. Participants were required to detect the biological motions as fast and accurately as possible. Our findings revealed shorter reaction times and higher accuracy when the trials were congruent than incongruent ones. Overall, our results highlight that the brain’s use of prior information can change our detection of human motion.
Sexual Orientation and Romantic Love

Romantic love is a psychobehavioral motivational state that facilitates pair-bonding in humans. Evolutionarily, it is thought to help establish and maintain long-term pair-bonds that enhance a heterosexual couple’s reproductive fitness. Romantic love can also occur in same-sex partnerships, yet not much is known, either psychologically or behaviorally, about the similarities or differences in how romantic love manifests in homosexual or bisexual couples compared with heterosexual couples. This study investigated romantic love in a cross-cultural sample of heterosexual, homosexual, and bisexual young adults (N = 783) experiencing romantic love. We analyzed differences between sexual orientation groups on six variables pertaining to different aspects of romantic love. These variables included number of times ever in love; the timing of falling in love relative to starting a romantic relationship; intensity of romantic love; obsessive thinking about a loved one; commitment; and frequency of sex per week. Homosexual females reported a significantly lower frequency of sex per week than heterosexual and bisexual females. Bisexual males reported a greater number of times ever in love than heterosexual males. Other variables revealed small or very small differences between sexual orientation groups. This study provides initial findings indicating that romantic love manifests in somewhat different ways across sexual orientation groups.
Online level-2 perspective taking for newly learnt symbols

Humans demonstrate spontaneous sensitivity to other people’s perspective regarding object identities in online tasks (level-2 perspective taking, L2PT). Accumulating evidence shows that this includes representing perspective content rather than mere discrepancy in perspectives. However, evidence comes from studies using culturally grounded symbols as stimuli, leaving open the possibility that extensive, automatically accessible background knowledge on the target object is a precondition of the PT effect. Experiment 1 tested this by comparing L2PT across two groups: one performing a verification task on Arabic numbers, one on newly learnt symbol-label pairs. Half of the visual stimuli in both groups was symmetric, half asymmetric. In the joint condition, participants performed the task in parallel with their partner, observing stimuli from opposite viewing angles and thus had conflicting interpretations for asymmetric characters. Also performed the verification task individually, while their partner sat passively, with no visual access to the stimuli. We found a similar interference effect in the two groups. However, while the effect was stable in the number group, it diminished over time in the symbol group. Experiment 2ab demonstrated that the complexity of the recently learnt symbols has an impact on the process of spontaneous level-2 PT. The same procedure but with more complex symbols did not elicit any interference effect. Our findings demonstrate that online L2PT is not constrained to objects that participants have proficiency in identifying. Furthermore, our results indicate that spontaneous perspective-taking is affected by the complexity of the stimuli: diminishes when participants have to deal with complex symbols.
Multiple paths to sentence interpretation: Case studies of older adults and persons with aphasia
Authors: Thothathiri Malathi
Published: May 2024

It is commonly assumed that persons with aphasia (PWA) may adjust their sentence processing due to chronic difficulty with sentence comprehension. We tested the hypothesis that variation in the paths to sentence interpretation is normal, i.e., it is present in different populations, including neurotypical older adults and PWA with good comprehension. Two neurotypical older adults and two PWA with little to no sentence comprehension difficulty were tested using multimodal eye-tracking and behavioral tasks. All participants were screened for good sentence comprehension accuracy. Eye-movement analyses when listening to semantically implausible sentences like “The cop was handcuffed by the robber” revealed differences between the two controls and between the two PWA in fixations to the syntactically compatible versus semantically compatible pictures, despite high accuracy across the board. Differences in linguistic cognitive control between the two PWA corresponded with differences in the efficiency of resolving competition between multiple interpretations. These results illustrate the need to distinguish comprehension paths from comprehension outcomes. Eye-tracking can reveal path differences between individuals, which can be harnessed to improve theoretical understanding of sentence comprehension and clinical approaches for customizing treatment for different PWA.
Evaluating the content structure of intelligent tutor systems-a psychological network analysis

The adoption of intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) worldwide has led to a considerable accumulation of process data as students interact with different learning topics within these systems. Typically, these learning topics are structured within ITSs (e.g., the fraction topic includes subtopics such as a fraction number line subtopic). However, there is a lack of methods that offer quick, data-driven insights into the content structure of ITSs, particularly through easily accessible visualizations. Here, we applied psychological network analysis to process data (230,241 students; 5,365,932 problem sets) from an ITS for learning mathematics to explore performance interdependencies between 40 different subtopics. We argue that the visualization of these content interdependencies allows for a quick empirical evaluation of the validity of the existing structuring of the respective learning content. These insights allow for deriving recommendations concerning potential changes in the ITS structure and are thus highly valuable for ITS developers. Our results are also relevant for researchers as the interdependencies illustrated through psychological network analysis can contribute towards a better understanding of the interplay between mathematical skills. Together, our results indicate that psychological network analysis represents a valuable data-driven method to evaluate and optimize ITSs.
