Development of the Skill to Design User Experience: A Case Study from the Informatics Engineering Course at the University of Matanzas
Authors: Segura Montero Josue
Published: January 2025

The field of user experience (UX) is growing and evolving rapidly. The Cuban software industry currently demands the development of higher-into quality products that provide a better experience to end users. The specialized scientific literature states that the user experience design (UX) should be integrated into the software development processes; however, in the Cuban academic environment, the study plans and programs do not include contents that encourage the appropriation of knowledge and development of the ability to design user experience (UX) in the computer professional. A methodology was developed consisting of stages integrated as a system to develop the ability to design the user experience (UX). For this purpose, the course “Methodology of User Experience Design,” located in a Virtual Learning Environment (EVA) of the Informatics Engineering course at the University of Matanzas, which allowed students to systematize actions and operations and consequently develop the ability, was used. To achieve the objective, theoretical and empirical methods of educational research were used. The Delphy method obtained the opinions and criteria of 16 experts, who theoretically validated the proposal.

This synergy drives innovation and sustains competitive advantage in the marketplace. Real-world instances across industries demonstrate the value of combining these approaches to enhance product development and performance. This research stresses the importance of integrating PLM and RAMS to achieve a comprehensive view of product development, ensuring efficient and safe lifecycle management.
Politicization of Demographic Dynamics: A Study of Indian Scenario
Authors: Kalam Mohammad Anwaruzzaman Abul
Published: January 2025

The chapter makes an endeavor to study the fertility differentials by religious groups (Hindu and Muslim) and the regional dimension of such differentials. The internal migration as well as immigration in the country is a very contentious issue, particularly in the backdrop of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and Citizen Amendment Act (CAA). As such, CAA and NRC have been leading political narratives in the country. In the absence of a periodic census, scheduled in 2021, the rumor about fast population growth of a particular religious group has become a burning issue and has acted as a weapon to mobilize people in favor of the saffron political party (BJP). The proposed chapter will examine the phenomenon of politicization of demographic dynamics from the demographic as well as political-economic perspectives.

In response to the rise in mental health problems among youth during the COVID-19 pandemic, we conducted a qualitative study in March 2022, using a user-centered design approach guided by ecological theories, to adapt group support psychotherapy into tele-support psychotherapy (TSP) via mobile phones. The development of a call platform, informed by the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology, was integrated into the Medical Concierge Group’s (TMCG) telehealth services under Rocket Health Africa. This platform included a dedicated toll-free line for psychotherapy, connecting users with lay counselors. An open-label randomized controlled trial (PACTR202201684613316) was conducted to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of TSP in combination with standard mental health services (n = 154) compared with standard mental health services alone (n = 146) among youth with mild to moderate major depression in Kampala. Participants commonly equated mental health with mental illness and reported significant challenges, including financial stress, substance abuse, and family dysfunction. Although digital interventions were largely accepted, some participants preferred in-person services. The adapted TSP maintained gender sensitivity and used folk tales, stories, riddles, and creative visualizations to facilitate emotional expression, acquisition of coping strategies, and income-generating skills, addressing both emotional and socio-economic needs.

Published: January 2025

The purpose of this research is to explore the role of political dynasties in democracy and their impact on the stability and quality of the democratization process. The method used includes a comprehensive literature review of various case studies and theories related to political dynasties. The results show that political dynasties can threaten democracy by strengthening oligarchies, inhibiting healthy political participation, and encouraging corruption and nepotism. However, political dynasties can also make positive contributions by offering sustainable political stability, facilitating the transfer of political knowledge, and effectively representing local interests. The conclusion of this study is that the role of political dynasties in democracy is highly dependent on context and certain factors. This journal also provides policy recommendations to minimize the negative risks while harnessing the positive potential of political dynasties in the democratization process
From Intention to Action: The Role of Conscious and Subconscious Minds in Personal Transformation
Authors: Muhammad Owais Isaac
Published: January 2025

This paper explores the relationship between the conscious and subconscious mind, focusing on how this interplay influences human behaviour and character development. Drawing on the teachings of the Quran, it examines the concept of free will and the responsibility individuals have for their choices. The study highlights how conscious actions shape subconscious habits, emphasizing that repeated behaviours can lead to automatic responses that reflect one’s character. The Quran underscores the importance of personal accountability and the potential for self-transformation through intentional actions. By aligning subconscious tendencies with conscious intentions, individuals can cultivate positive traits and move closer to their spiritual goals. This research offers insights into the dynamics of human behaviour and the spiritual implications of our choices, guided by the principles found in the Quran. It also explores the dynamics between the conscious and subconscious mind, emphasizing the notion that the subconscious mind predominantly governs our daily activities. It posits that while the conscious mind is primarily engaged in new learning processes, the subconscious mind, shaped by both inherent traits and conscious learning, automates routine tasks and influences decision-making through.

Authors: Klaina Mekki
Published: January 2025

This research examines Nawazil books as a vital indirect source for insights into Islamic societies across specific historical periods. Originally intended to provide legal rulings, these texts reveal the political, social, and economic conditions of their times. The study emphasizes the significance of Nawazil works, particularly from Andalusia and Morocco, offering a unique perspective on daily life and socio-economic interactions often missing from direct historical sources. The main goal is to assess how these rulings can aid in reconstructing historical contexts beyond their religious functions. The research problem addresses the extraction of historical facts from texts initially designed for legal judgments. Utilizing a historical and descriptive-analytical approach, the study explores texts like al-Ajwiba al-Kubra by al-Fassi Abdelkader. Findings show that Nawazil books provide valuable, often overlooked, details that can supplement traditional historical sources with intricate accounts of local realities.

Authors: Fayaz Gul Mazloum Yar  , Ahmad Sabir Noori
Published: January 2025

Afghanistan's predominantly rural population faces severe economic and social challenges, such as poverty, unemployment, and migration to urban areas due to over-reliance on agriculture. This study explores the role of rural industries in addressing these issues by examining their potential to improve economic conditions in rural areas and their contribution to the national economy. It also identifies the primary challenges to developing these industries and proposes strategies for overcoming them. Findings suggest that rural industries have the potential to reduce poverty, create employment, and increase household income, contributing significantly to Afghanistan’s rural development. However, inadequate infrastructure, limited investment, and market access remain substantial barriers. This study aims to examine the role of rural industries in the development of rural areas and their impact on Afghanistan's national economy. Additionally, it seeks to identify the challenges and opportunities for developing these industries and propose strategies for improving their current state. In this study, I aim to address the following questions: What role do rural industries play in the economic development of rural areas in Afghanistan? What are the major challenges to the development of rural industries in Afghanistan? And how can the potential of rural industries be harnessed to strengthen the national economy?, This review study utilizes both analytical and descriptive approaches and relies on credible scientific sources and field data. The information collected includes academic articles, government reports, and statistical data related to rural industries in Afghanistan. Data analysis is conducted descriptively and analytically, focusing on the economic, social, and environmental impacts of rural industries. The findings indicate that the development of rural industries can significantly improve the economy of Afghanistan's rural areas. These industries, by creating employment opportunities, increasing income, and reducing poverty, play a key role in strengthening the national economy. Additionally, the identification of challenges such as inadequate infrastructure and insufficient investment highlights the primary barriers to the development of rural industries in the country.

Head of the HRD Department of PT XYZ and karyawan acted as informants for data collection. Employees must always bear the costs, demands and obligations of their work. Employees will experience greater stress at work the more pressure there is in the workplace. An employee's capacity to handle work-related stress without disrupting their personal life is a key component of work-life balance. Employee adjustments to achieve a balance between job-related responsibilities and resources and their needs and skills are reflected in job creation. Job crafting has an impact on employee performance because when workers organize their tasks efficiently, improvements occur, increasing job satisfaction and productivity.
Legal and Ethical Dimensions of Islamic Microfinance in Poverty Alleviation: A Critical Analysis
Authors: Olaitan Abdulkabir Oladapo
Published: January 2025

According to the World Bank’s (2019) study, poverty accounts for more than 70% of the total population in Nigeria, implying that over 130 million people in the country, live in poverty. This pathetic situation is further aggravated by financial exclusion whereby low-income people are neglected away from the financial system because they are considered uneconomical to serve or too difficult to reach. According to the World Bank’s Global Findex, 1.7 billion adults globally are financially excluded, living without formal credit or savings (FINCA International, 2024).  Recently, microfinance has emerged as an important instrument of poverty alleviation in the developing countries with more than 7000 micro lending institutions providing loans to more than 25 million poor individuals across the world (Dahiru and Hassan, 2008). Despite the number of microfinance banks in Nigeria with over 800 of them in the country, Microfinance banks’ contribution to Nigeria’s economy is less than 1% (National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), 2020). The question now is, where lies the problem? Through a doctrinal approach, it is observed that the system of operation and management of Microfinance banks in Nigeria has eroded their primary objective (financial inclusion). This is mainly due to the imposition of high interest rate by Microfinance Institutions, poor risk management mechanism, weak organizational structure, insufficient capital, shortage of experts, among others. With its success in some parts of Nigeria such as Al-Barakah Microfinance Bank in Lagos state, Islamic microfinance is recommended to be the real solution in achieving financial inclusion through its products that are interest-free and customer-friendly to the poor and middle-class citizens, in a bid to ensure optimum poverty alleviation in a well regulated and ethical business environment.
Les quatre sens de l’Écriture
Authors: Fogielman Charles-Antoine ,   Instituto Patristico Augustinianum
Published: January 2025

The quadripartite hermeneutics of John Cassian, based on the doctrine of Clement of Alexandria and Evagrius Ponticus, had sufficient echo in Greek and Arabic patristic literature, up to the ninth century, to be taken up by a Sufi master open to Christian influences such as Sahl Al-Tustari. Theodore Abu Qurrah, on the Christian side, and Dhū ‘l Nūn al-Misri, on the Muslim side, among others, are examined as possible bridges between the two traditions.

What Did Augustine Learn about the Old Testament as a Manichaean Hearer?
Authors: Moiseeva Evgenïa ,   Instituto Patristico Augustinianum
Published: January 2025

St. Augustine initially discovered the Bible through Manichaean eyes, but later engaged in intense anti-Manichaean polemics largely centered on the Old Testament. To shed light on what Augustine learned about the Manichaean approach to the OT during his Manichaean youth, this study gathers and analyzes relevant excerpts from De Genesi aduersus Manichaeos, De moribus ecclesiae catholicae et de moribus Manichaeorum, and Augustine’s testimonies about his Manichaean years in Confessions and De agone christiano. It is shown that Augustine the Manichaean gained extensive knowledge of the Manichaean biblical criticism and was well versed in the Manichaean arguments and polemical strategies. Notwithstanding his own polemical remarks, Augustine was well aware that the Manichaeans did not reject the OT outright and used some vetero-testamentary narratives in their own teaching. The paper also discusses written and oral sources of Augustine’s knowledge of the Manichaean position.
Christian Approaches to Philosophy and Education in Gregory of Nazianzus
Authors: Terezis Christos , Petridou Lydia ,   Instituto Patristico Augustinianum
Published: January 2025

In this article we approach the question of philosophy and its relation to education in the Christian light of Gregory of Nazianzus. In particular, based on the example of Heron chosen by the Cappadocian Father, we follow the presentation and discussion of the principles, both on theoretical and practical level, which should govern the thought and life of the man who is active in the capacity of a Christian and a philosopher within society. These principles gradually constitute a genuine proposal for a philosophical way of being and education, in the context of which Christianity can make eclectic use of Ancient Greek thought. The predominant thing that is formed is a concrete Christian Ethics directly intertwined with Christian Metaphysics, which is considered to be able to define Anthropology in all its aspects.
ESG Reporting: Assessing Compliance of Polish Public Companies with EU Taxonomy Guidelines
Authors: Koszel Maciej
Published: January 2025

The paper aims to evaluate how well Polish public companies' activities align with the European Union Taxonomy guidelines (EU Taxonomy). The research involved a review of literature on ESG and non-financial reporting, identification of key guidelines for mandatory disclosures, and analysis of reports from companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange’s three main indices. This approach allowed for determining the shares of activities that meet the EU Taxonomy's compliance and eligibility criteria, focusing on turnover, capital expenditures (CapEx), and operating expenditures (OpEx). The research shows a relatively low percentage of activities compliant with the EU Taxonomy among the studied companies. There are significant sectoral differences in the level of compliance of companies activity with the EU Taxonomy, with compliance level highest in industries with substantial environmental impacts (like industrial production and construction) and lowest in sectors with limited environmental effects (such as finance and healthcare). A key limitation is the analysis's scope, which covers only one year's reports due to the non-financial reporting standards' implementation schedule. Continuous monitoring of this issue is necessary. The ESG activities of companies are crucial from the perspective of building competitive advantage, influencing customer awareness, meeting consumer expectations or finally meeting non-financial reporting requirements, but involve complex processes, including operationalization, implementation, monitoring, and auditing of ESG practices. Non-financial reporting entails significant direct and indirect costs. Non-financial reporting enhances the transparency of companies' operations and is likely to influence company ratings for investment purposes. However, the costs associated with reporting could lead to higher prices and potentially burden consumers. The article addresses a current, practical problem faced by companies required to conduct non-financial reporting. It is relevant for various stakeholders, including consumers, shareholders, business partners, and financiers.

Authors: Parkitna Agnieszka , Gadek Magdalena , Urbańska Kamila , Korytko Paweł , Górski Arkadiusz
Published: January 2025

During the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, energy prices are rising. Such a situation would suggest high customer turnover, especially since the environment has a strong influence on population behaviour at the individual level. The purpose of this paper is to model the barriers and preferences of individual customers in switching energy suppliers according to the level of satisfaction in a dynamically changing environment. We statistically designed the study using Eta index calculations, test: KruskalWallis, post hoc Dunn’s test with Bonferroni correction. Two models were obtained: barriers and preferences for changing energy retailers among residential customers, depending on the level of satisfaction in a dynamically changing environment. We demonstrated the relationship between barriers to switching energy vendors and customer satisfaction levels. We investigated whether the level of satisfaction influences energy seller switching preferences among customers. We demonstrated the relationship between barriers to switching energy vendors and individual customer preferences and satisfaction levels
The self-assessment of quality culture and dimensions of social responsibility on the example of Pomeranian public organizations - winners of the Pomeranian Quality Award
Authors: Wiśniewska Małgorzata Zdzisława
Published: January 2025

The research problem is as follows: What is the level of quality culture in public organizations participating in the competition for the Pomeranian Quality Award? The purpose of the study is to identify the level of quality culture in selected public organizations and identify the strengths and weaknesses of the quality culture of these organizations.
A self-assessment, desk research, expert evaluation, and the method of synthesis and logical inference were used as research methods.
The surveyed organizations were rated very highly, both in terms of the level of quality culture and their commitment in terms of social responsibility. In the first and second cases, according to the adopted scale according to R. Kolman, the prevailing rating is excellent and outstanding. In both cases, the strength is the ongoing cooperation with the local and regional environment, as well as functioning under management systems, as well as the implementation of various programs for the natural environment and climate. The weaknesses of some organizations include reluctance to report workplace improvements and not documented, effective ways of communicating with their suppliers or subcontractors
The main limitation is the small number of subjects, which does not allow generalizations. A second limitation is the lack of studies of a similar nature, involving, for example, public organizations participating in other regional competitions.
The dimensions of the social responsibility of organizations are taken into account, including the impact of their activities on the society and natural environment in which they operate. The solutions used in these organizations can serve as good practices for implementation in other public entities, contributing to improving the quality of services for citizens.
This is the first research paper when it comes to national quality competitions and the phenomenon of quality culture and corporate social responsibility.
Praecitrullus fistulosus Fruit Extract Ameliorates Type II Diabetic Complications in Rats: In Silico, In Vitro, and In Vivo Investigation
Authors: Mishra Shanti , Verma Juhi , Sahu Garima , Gupta Nishi
Published: January 2025

This study explored the safety and antidiabetic potential of a hydroalcoholic extract of Praecitrullus fistulosus fruits, along with qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analyses. The antidiabetic effect was evaluated using in vitro methods, including α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition assays, as well as an in vivo high-fat diet and low-dose streptozotocin-induced diabetic model. Molecular docking studies were conducted to identify phytochemicals responsible for the antidiabetic effects. The fruit extract exhibited maximum inhibition of 52.06% and 58.10% for α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes, respectively, at a concentration of 100 µg/mL. The extract also demonstrated a significant (p < 0.001) and dose-dependent antidiabetic effect at oral doses of 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg in the tested animals. In silico analysis revealed that α-tocopherol exhibited the best docking pose, with a docking energy of -8.2 kcal/mol. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the hydroalcoholic extract of Praecitrullus fistulosus contains phytochemicals effective in controlling glucose levels. This study also validates the traditional use of Praecitrullus fistulosus fruits in managing diabetes.

Published: January 2025

Nos últimos anos, houve um aumento tímido de matrículas de estudantes autistas no ensino superior, cuja estrutura é desafiadora para essas pessoas que possuem maneiras diversas de lidar com mudanças, de comunicar e de interagir. Este estudo investigou os desafios enfrentados por 19 estudantes autistas em uma universidade brasileira objetivando conhecer os ajustes razoáveis que contribuam para o seu sucesso no ensino superior. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas. A análise dos dados assumiu os pressupostos teórico-metodológicos de Norbert Elias como referência. Os resultados apontam que a maioria dos estudantes foram diagnosticados na fase adulta, o que gera sentimentos conflitantes de aceitação e de identificação com a condição de ser estudante com autismo. O conhecimento da condição de autista traz implicações nos seus modos de participar na vida universitária, impelindo a busca por suportes que melhorem as relações com docentes e colegas de classe. Vivenciam o sentimento de alívio e de auto aceitação de sua condição, ao mesmo tempo em que ressentem receio de ser estigmatizado como pessoa incapaz. Por conta dos estigmas, estereótipos e preconceitos sobre o autismo, esses estudantes se mostraram relutantes em revelar o seu diagnóstico, embora esse fosse o pré-requisito para acessar os apoios e suportes necessários na estrutura e modo de organização do ensino superior. Os estudantes anseiam por mais debates e informações sobre o autismo, principalmente na voz de pessoas autistas. Os estudantes fizeram algumas sugestões e críticas em relação aos apoios recebidos. Evidenciamos, finalmente, a necessidade de pesquisas focadas nas mulheres com autismo.

Published: January 2025

Este artigo apresenta uma análise de abordagens educacionais empregadas no contexto do Ensino Superior, sob a ótica do Desenho Universal para a Aprendizagem (DUA). O método adotado consiste em um estudo comparado, envolvendo a participação de seis docentes da região Norte e vinte da região Centro-Oeste, todos atuantes em cursos de graduação em Pedagogia e Medicina, respectivamente. Para coleta de dados, foram examinados os Projetos Pedagógicos desses cursos e Planos de Ensino dos professores, bem como, questionários junto aos docentes efetivos interpretados por meio de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados obtidos e as discussões travadas revelam que, embora os docentes não tenham conhecimento explícito sobre o DUA, eles demonstraram desenvolver planejamentos flexíveis, priorizando, de maneira empírica, a diversificação de recursos didáticos e métodos avaliativos variados. Ademais, observa-se uma crescente preocupação entre os professores em adaptar suas aulas para contemplar a diversidade de estudantes, em utilizar ferramentas digitais para a divulgação e compartilhamento de materiais de apoio, tornando-os acessíveis aos alunos.
Trabalho docente no ensino superior: dialética da transversalidade entre deficiência, raça e gênero
Authors: Meletti Silvia Márcia Ferreira , Cabral Vinicius Neves de , Serafim Jucenir da Silva
Published: January 2025

A partir das bases epistemológicas do materialismo histórico, o artigo objetiva analisar o trabalho docente de pessoas com deficiência no ensino superior brasileiro. Especificamente, busca compreender a dialética da transversalidade entre deficiência, raça e gênero e seu impacto na atuação profissional no ensino superior. Para tanto, toma como unidade de análise os microdados da Relação Anual de Informações Sociais de 2022. Os dados foram processados a partir das linguagens computacionais Python e R. com as variáveis relacionadas às categorias tipo de deficiência, gênero, raça/cor, faixa de remuneração salário mínimo e grau de instrução. Os resultados apontam o impacto da deficiência na inserção no mundo do trabalho formal, inclusive em funções que carregam vantagens salariais, culturais e sociais. A análise a partir da dialética da transversalidade evidencia que as desigualdades detectadas na docência no ensino superior não podem ser reduzidas a uma única dimensão, ao contrário, a intersecção de raça, gênero e deficiência cria um sistema complexo de opressão e de múltiplas formas de discriminação.

Published: January 2025

The integration of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and human resource management (HRM) in Pakistani firms is examined in this study, with an emphasis on the effects of CSR-driven efforts on employee engagement. 300 workers from a variety of industries, including manufacturing, services, and education, were surveyed using a standardized questionnaire as part of a quantitative research design. Employee engagement metrics (job satisfaction, motivation, and organizational commitment), HRM practices (employee training, performance evaluation, and inclusivity), and CSR practices (community development, environmental sustainability, and ethical governance) made up the three sections of the questionnaire. An online survey platform and in-person distribution was used to gather data, guaranteeing a balanced representation of demographic groupings and industries. A high positive correlation between CSR activities and employee engagement was shown through statistical analysis, including regression and correlation tests. Notable impacts were seen in community development and ethical governance projects. The results emphasize how important it is for Pakistani companies to match HRM strategies with social objectives in order to create an inclusive and purpose-driven work environment.

BioHackathon Europe 2021 #1: CiTO annotations in BioHackrXiv
Authors: Willighagen Egon
Published: January 2025

Serendipity. I did not plan this hack at the BioHackathon Europe 2021 but it happened anyway. Based on earlier work in the Journal of Cheminformatics, extending on the work by Krewinkel et al. I looked into the idea of using the Lua filter for BioHackrXiv, a preprint server for BioHackathons. Actually, I started by looking at the Citation Styling Language file used by the BioHackrXiv tools. But that was just wrong. Long story short: it worked!
Journal Rankings
Authors: Willighagen Egon
Published: January 2025

I am pleased to learn that the Dutch Universities start looking at rankings of a more scientific way. It is long overdue that we take scientific peer review of the indicators used in those rankings seriously, instead of hiding beyond fud around the decline of quality of research. So, what defines the quality of a journal? Or better, of any scholarly dissemination channel? After all, some databases do better peer review than some journals.
Bioclipse git experiences #2: Create patches for individual plugins/features
Authors: Willighagen Egon
Published: January 2025

This is a series of two posts repeating some content I wrote up back in the Bioclipse days (see also this Scholia page). They both deal with something we were facing: restructuring of version control repositories, while actually keeping the history. For example, you may want to copy or move code from one repository to another.

RDF-ing molecular space
Authors: Willighagen Egon
Published: January 2025

RDF might be the solution we are looking for to get a grip on the huge amount of information we are facing. microformats, and RDFa, are just solutions along the way, and Gleaning Resource Descriptions from Dialects of Languages (GRDDL) might be an important tool to get the web RDF-ied. One important aspect of RDF is that any resource has a unique URI.
Test File Repository and RelaxNG

Published: January 2025

Last week I started the Blue Obelisk Chemical Test File Repository, a repository of OSI-approved-licenced test files (from various sources) to improve interoperability between chemoinformatics software. Following a discussion on the mailing list earlier, a directory hierarchy has been set up, and each files contains an index.xml to describe the content.

Last year, Denise, Tina, Marvin, and I received an NWO Open Science grant (203.001.121) to improve the long running BridgeDb project, originally developed by Martijn van Iersel (see doi:10.1186/1471-2105-11-5). Helena joined our group as research software engineer and will work part-time on this grant.
Join me in encouraging the ACS to join the Initiative for Open Citations
Authors: Willighagen Egon
Published: January 2025

My research is into abstract representation of chemical information, important for other research to be performed. Indeed, my work is generally reused, but knowing which research fields my work is used in, or which societal problems it is helping solve, is not easily retrieved or determined.

Code coverage: making sure your code is tested
Authors: Willighagen Egon
Published: January 2025

Recently I discussed JUnit testing from within Eclipse

, and blogged at several occasions about it in other situations. I cannot stress enough how useful unit testing is: it adds this extra set of eyeballs to make bugs shallow. And it does that, indeed. Ensuring that you actually test all the code you write, however, is not easy.

Programming in the Life Sciences #19: debugging
Authors: Willighagen Egon
Published: January 2025

Debugging is the process find removing a fault in your code (the etymology goes further back than the moth story, I learned today). Being able to debug is an essential programming skill, and being able to program flawlessly is not enough; the bug can be outside your own code.

Yesterday I blogged about how to include the new del.icio.us tagometer on a www.blogger.com blog, just like Improbulus did last December as I discovered later. Felix asked me how it could be done on the new www2.blogger.com template system.
Archiving and updating my blog
Authors: Willighagen Egon
Published: January 2025

This blog is almost 18 years old now. I have long wanted to migrate it to a version control system and at the same time have more control over things. Markdown would be awesome. In the past year, I learned a lot about the power of Jekyll and needed to get more experienced with it to use it for more databases, like we now do for WikiPathways.

Qeios, an open dissemination platform for research output
Authors: Willighagen Egon
Published: January 2025

A bit over a year ago I got introduced to Qeios when I was asked to review an article by Michie, West, and Hasting:

“Creating ontological definitions for use in science”

(doi:10.32388/YGIF9B.2). I wrote up my thoughts after reading the paper, and the review was posted openly online and got a DOI. Not the first platform to do this (think F1000), but it is always nice to see some publishers taking publishing seriously.
Adding chemical compounds to Wikidata
Authors: Willighagen Egon
Published: January 2025

Adding chemical compounds to Wikidata is not difficult. You can store the chemical formula (P274), (canonical) SMILES (P233), InChIKey (P235) (and InChI (P234), of course), as well various database identifiers (see what I wrote about that [here(http://chem-bla-ics.blogspot.nl/2015/12/new-edition-getting-cas-registry.html)]). It also allows storing of the provenance, and has predicates for that too.
