Aeolus Data Validation for an Extreme Precipitation Event in Greece with the COSMO NWP Model
Authors: Avgoustoglou Euripides , Matsangouras Ioannis , Pytharoulis Ioannis , Nastos Panagiotis
Published: November 2023

The study of atmospheric models and climate systems has been hampered by the restricted availability of wind profile measurements. By recording wind profiles in near real time and giving useful information for Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models, the Doppler wind lidar technology used in the European Space Agency’s Aeolus mission is expected to unravel this problem. By analyzing the precipitation from IANOS medicane, which occurred over the Thessaly plain in September 2020, a case study utilizing the COSMO NWP model illustrates the potential usefulness of Aeolus data in strengthening NWP models. Run in hindcast mode and forced by analyses with and without Aeolus, the model assimilated data that were produced at the European Centre for Medium-Range Forecasts (ECMWF). Evaluation against observations from Greek synoptic stations showed that the model precipitation using the Aeolus-assimilated data preponderated over the model results without their inclusion. This work aims to demonstrate the additional value of the Aeolus project towards the expansion of our knowledge of Earth’s atmosphere, particularly the improvement of our capacity to estimate severe weather events via the use of Aeolus with NWP models.

La (non) réussite scolaire des « immigrés » - Où sont les différences ?
Authors: Chauveau Gérard , Rogovas-Chauveau Eliane
Published: November 2023

Pendant des années, la logique différencialiste à l’œuvre en face des difficultés des enfants d’immigrés a surestimé le handicap linguistique et culturel ou la distance culturelle et a, du même coup, sous-évalué, sinon masqué, la grande hétérogénéité de cette catégorie d’élèves et celle des situations éducatives locales avec ses nombreuses variables.

Le temps est venu de s’intéresser à deux spécificités des élèves issus de l'immigration : ils sont plus divers que ceux des autres catégories socioculturelles ; ils vivent des situations scolaires bien plus disparates que les autres. Quand et comment allons-nous traiter ces différences-là ?

La politique de la ville et l'école
Authors: Roman Joël
Published: November 2023

L'histoire des ZEP, qui est aussi celle de leur articulation avec la politique de la ville, va de la discrimination positive à des stratégies d'excellence.

Mais l'ambivalence et la force de la demande sociale, laquelle traduit la dynamique d'une société individualiste, font de l'école le lieu de la concurrence maximale.

Les réponses à ce défi se situent dans le développement de la formation professionnelle permanente et la requalification, autour de l'école, de la notion de service public.
Integrando CSP com linguagens de programação
Authors: Pereira Amintas Victor Ramos , De Farias Adalberto Cajueiro
Published: November 2023

CSP consiste numa linguagem de especificação que permite uma abordagem baseada em refinamento (tornando um modelo abstrato mais concreto) e o uso de construções abstratas e expressivas para capturar diversos aspectos, representando comportamentos de maneira precisa. Sua popularidade se deve a possibilidade de executar as especificações diretamente, ao invés de se estabelecer um mapeamento para outra linguagem. Apesar de estarem disponíveis ferramentas para CSP, a dificuldade de utilizá-las, seja na escrita ou na apresentação de relações, somada a uma crescente demanda, fez surgir a necessidade de investigar o mapear desta notação para linguagem Go ou framework AKKA, bem como de ser implementada uma ferramenta que não apenas agregue funcionalidades como  manipulação e compreensão textual e gráfica da linguagem, mas que também o faça de maneira mais prática e didática.

An Introduction to 2023 PHM Data Challenge: The Elephant in the Room and an Analysis of Competition Results
Authors: Qu Yongzhi , William Jesse , Saxena Abhinav , Eklund Neil , Clements Scott
Published: November 2023

The trend in diagnostics and prognostics for PHM is shifting toward explainable data-driven models. However, complex engineered systems are typically challenging to develop entirely explainable models for, whether they are grounded in physics or data-driven techniques. Consequently, the development of machine learning models, including hybrid variants capable of both interpolation and extrapolation, holds significant promise for enhancing the practicality of system simulation, analysis, modeling, and control in industry. The primary objective of this data challenge is to encourage contributions that expand the scope of model generalization beyond the training domain. The second aim of this data challenge is to quantify model uncertainty and methods to incorporate it into predictions. For most PHM tasks, clear guidance of the required action is ideal. To issue a definitive guidance to end users, it is useful to quantify uncertainty for the whole model. This data challenge addresses both estimation and uncertainty.

Published: November 2023

This research explores the moderating influence of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) on Word of Mouth (WOM), service quality, and school location in relation to school selection decisions at AI Ibrah Gresik Integrated Islamic Middle School. The study adopts a quantitative descriptive research approach and collects data from SD IT AI Ibrah and SMP IT AI Ibrah, situated in JI. Brotonegoro Gresik, East Java, Indonesia. Smart PLS 3 software is employed for data analysis. The study reveals several significant findings. Firstly, Word of Mouth (WOM) directly impacts election decision, where recommendations and experiences from others play a vital role in individuals' decision-making process. Secondly, service quality is identified as a crucial factor influencing election decision, as individuals tend to favor schools offering high-quality services. Additionally, school location has a direct influence on election decision, with geographical factors and accessibility significantly influencing parents' school choices. Moreover, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) also holds a direct impact on election decision. Effective interactions and communications between the school and parents substantially affect the decision-making process. Furthermore, CRM is observed to moderate the relationship between WOM and election decision, as well as the link between service quality and election decision. However, CRM is found to be incapable of moderating the interaction between school location and election decision.
West African ‘Stone Boys’ in the Ibadan Mining Frontiers Since the 1990s
Authors: Olaniyi Rasheed Oyewole
Published: November 2023

In the last two decades of the 20th century, the city of Ibadan, capital of Oyo state, Nigeria hosted migrant entrepreneurs, “stone boys “from the West African sub-region who were actively involved in the export of gemstones. This paper drew on fieldwork to explicate how culture of migration, prevalent among West Africans, intertwined with entrepreneurship in the international gemstones trade and its implications on the Nigerian economy. It argued that gemstones trade among West African migrants was an inherited commercial heritage. It further advanced that lack of government investment in the non-oil solid mineral sector provided leeway for artisanal miners and unregulated export of gemstones; and social solidarity and identity empowered the migrants to dominate the export of gemstones

La diversidad sexual en el discurso estatal de la Educación Sexual Integral en Argentina. Un análisis sociosemiótico de los materiales didácticos oficiales
Authors: Boccardi Facundo
Published: November 2023

El presente artículo indaga la producción de la diversidad sexual en el discurso producido por el Programa Nacional de Educación Sexual Integral desde su creación hasta la actualidad. Para ello, se analiza la producción discursiva de materiales didácticos destinada a la implementación de la política pública de la Educación Sexual Integral, desde una perspectiva que articula los estudios de género y sexualidad con la sociosemiótica. Los materiales analizados están compuestos por el conjunto de cuadernos didácticos destinados a los tres niveles del sistema educativo obligatorio que conforman la Serie de Cuadernos de ESI producida desde el 2009 hasta el 2012 y los cuadernos Referentes Escolares de ESI producidos en el 2022. En el primer conjunto de materiales, la normativa hetero-cis-sexual funciona mayormente a nivel de presupuesto limitando la legibilidad de las identidades, las relaciones erótico-sexuales y las conﬁguraciones familiares. En el segundo conjunto de materiales, en cambio, se promueven dispositivos didácticos destinadas a desarmar la normativa hetero-cis-sexual atribuida al sentido común instalado en las escuelas. De esa manera, la diversidad sexual no aparece solamente como un conjunto de temas sino más bien como una perspectiva crítica que atraviesa el abordaje de la ESI.

Chromosome study of the Hymenoptera (Insecta): from cytogenetics to cytogenomics
Authors: Gokhman Vladimir E.
Published: November 2023

A brief overview of the current stage of the chromosome study of the insect order Hymenoptera is given. It is demonstrated that, in addition to routine staining and other traditional techniques of chromosome research, karyotypes of an increasing number of hymenopterans are being studied using molecular methods, e.g., staining with base-specific fluorochromes and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), including microdissection and chromosome painting. Due to the advent of whole genome sequencing and other molecular techniques, together with the “big data” approach to the chromosomal data, the current stage of the chromosome research on Hymenoptera represents a transition from Hymenoptera cytogenetics to cytogenomics.
A novel weighted family of probability distributions with applications to world natural gas, oil, and gold reserves
Authors: Hassan Amal S. , Alsadat Najwan , Chesneau Christophe , Shawki Ahmed W.
Published: November 2023

Recent innovations have focused on the creation of new families that extend well-known distributions while providing a huge amount of practical flexibility for data modeling. Weighted distributions offer an effective approach for addressing model building and data interpretation problems. The main objective of this work is to provide a novel family based on a weighted generator called the length-biased truncated Lomax-generated (LBTLo-G) family. Discussions are held about the characteristics of the LBTLo-G family, including expressions for the probability density function, moments, and incomplete moments. In addition, different measures of uncertainty are determined. We provide four new sub-distributions and investigated their functionalities. Subsequently, a statistical analysis is given. The LBTLo-G family's parameter estimation is carried out using the maximum likelihood technique on the basis of full and censored samples. Simulation research is conducted to determine the parameters of the LBTLo Weibull (LBTLoW) distribution. Four genuine data sets are considered to illustrate the fitting behavior of the LBTLoW distribution. In each case, the application outcomes demonstrate that the LBTLoW distribution can, in fact, fit the data more accurately than other rival distributions.
“Once upon a time there was a desperately happy jew”: or how to explain the Holocaust to children (André Schwarz‑Bart)
Authors: Gyssels Kathleen
Published: November 2023

Kathleen Gyssels onderzoekt de paradox dat in de roman die als ‘volwassen’ wordt aangestipt, het kind toch centraal staat: enerzijds door de jonge leeftijd van het hoofdpersonage dat wordt geconfronteerd met de opkomst van het nazisme; daarnaast door het ‘geloof’ in verhalen en sprookjes, wanneer hij als gulzige ‘zondagse’ Jood sprookjes verslindt (‘Er was eens’); en ten slotte door de impact van beelden op een ogenblik dat de taal nog in ‘opbouw’ is. Gedurende zijn hele schrijverscarrière ondernam André Schwarz-Bart talrijke pogingen om kinderen over de Shoah te vertellen.

Declining Freshwater Species Biodiversity
Authors: Rajamani Santhosh Kumar , Iyer Radha Srinivasan
Published: November 2023

Freshwater is a precious resource that is essential for human survival and liquid surface freshwater accounts for just 0.2% of total volume of water on Earth. Wetlands, which are home to one of the most biodiverse species of plants and animals, account for just 6.4% of the earth's surface. On a global scale, the wetlands and freshwater ecosystems are under pressure and are seeing declining species diversity. Freshwater biodiversity has not been part of the ongoing mainstream conservation efforts and has been largely ignored. This is in part due to invasive human activities, pollution, climate change, deforestation, habitat destruction and degradation, the introduction of alien competing species, and excessive consumption. This chapter gives a broad overview of the current scenario of declining freshwater species biodiversity and threats to vulnerable aquatic ecosystems. Delineation of biodiversity hotspots, adoption of a proactive approach, and focused conservation efforts towards freshwater ecosystems are some of the suggested remedial measures to address this global problem.
Unraveling the Decline
Authors: Makwana Vishal M. , Mahida Dipak Kumar , Dodia Pravinsang P.
Published: November 2023

Shorebirds, or Waders, are called sentinels of global environmental change. Many of these species breed in the arctic and subarctic and migrate back to tropical and temperate regions in their non-breeding seasons. Presently, more than half of shorebird populations with documented trends are in decline and migratory species are more inclined to be impacted. The extent and taxonomic range of the shorebird populations' decreases, along with facts showing that the Arctic is experiencing a higher rate of temperature rise than the rest of the world, indicate global warming as the probable cause of these declines. Primary factors responsible for their decline are degraded habitat quality, which has been influenced by anthropogenic activities and climate change. This highlights the necessity to pinpoint the drives of challenges in order to implement successful conservation measures. In this chapter, the authors aimed to understand the perspective on how and where the habitats of shorebirds are changing and factors responsible for their declines.
Stealth Assessment of Aggression and Bullying
Authors: Chatlos Suzannah B.
Published: November 2023

Game-based environments have been used with some frequency in an attempt to prevent or intervene in situations of aggression or bullying. However, far less research has been conducted regarding game-based assessment of these constructs, particularly when the goal is to assess these behaviors without drawing attention (stealth assessment). A review of the current literature points to only four game-based stealth assessments of aggression or bullying. This chapter will present the research on these four assessments. Although studies conducted on stealth assessment of aggression or bullying have been limited, results suggest that game-based environments (e.g., video games, computer games, cellphone apps) measure these constructs successfully, with results matching typical methodologies (e.g., self- or peer-report surveys).

Authors: Kang So Ra , Kim Shin-Jeong , Kang Kyung-Ah
Published: November 2023

Purpose: Artificial intelligence (AI) has had a profound impact on humanity; in particular, chatbots have been designed for interactivity and applied to many aspects of daily life. Chatbots are also regarded as an innovative modality in nursing education. This study aimed to identify nursing students' awareness of using chatbots and factors influencing their usage intention.Methods: This study, which employed a descriptive design using a self-reported questionnaire, was conducted at three university nursing schools located in Seoul, South Korea. The participants were 289 junior and senior nursing students. Data were collected using self-reported questionnaires, both online via a Naver Form and offline.Results: The total mean score of awareness of using chatbots was 3.49±0.61 points out of 5. The mean scores of the four dimensions of awareness of using chatbots were 3.37±0.60 for perceived value, 3.66±0.73 for perceived usefulness, 3.83±0.73 for perceived ease of use, and 3.36±0.87 for intention to use. Significant differences were observed in awareness of using chatbots according to satisfaction with nursing (p<.001), effectiveness of using various methods for nursing education (p<.001), and interest in chatbots (p<.001). The correlations among the four dimensions ranged from .52 to .80. In a hierarchical regression analysis, perceived value (β=.45) accounted for 60.2% of variance in intention to use.Conclusion: The results suggest that chatbots have the potential to be used in nursing education. Further research is needed to clarify the effectiveness of using chatbots in nursing education.
Work environment development using cognitive work analysis’ decision ladders.
Authors: Suleiman Abdulqadir Mohamad
Published: November 2023

The study aimed to create decision-making content for workplace work environment development, followed by a limited evaluation to determine the perception of the importance of the identified content in different sectors. Enforcement/administrative orders in workplace inspection reports were used as empirical infor-mation on workplaces. This information was used to design decision ladders, which form the second phase of cognitive work analysis, the activity analysis. The decision ladders, which support decision-making, cov-ered work functions identified in an earlier work domain analysis study, i.e., exposure prevention, organisa-tional management, competence realisation, workers’ empowerment, psychosocial work environment man-agement, and administration. Specified content of decision ladders for each function was used to prepare a questionnaire for evaluating the content validity for work environment development.

Altogether, 29 items were identified as the content for work environment development. Statistical analysis of the limited evaluation showed no significant difference between the different sectors in their perceptions of the importance of the content in developing work environments. Similar sectoral perceptions' trends support the content utility and validity in work environment development.

The procedure formulation step of the decision ladders,  with the phrase “What steps are needed to...” applied preceding the identified content constructs, provides practical activities regarded as essential for work environment development.

Using enforcement inspection reports as the basis for work environment development is a novel approach to addressing workplace safety and health management challenges. Further, the universal utility of the content allows for its implementation across sectors, allowing for workplace-specific decision-making on management measures.

Compensation is one important factor that can motivate employees to improve performance. The compensation given by the company must be commensurate with the company's workload, job risks, and the competencies that accompany the position. The company is obliged to provide both financial and non-financial compensation so that the employees' standard of living needs (KHL) can be met. Therefore, it is necessary to design an appropriate compensation system based on job value. The object of this research is UKM Catering located in Bekasi City. UKM Catering is engaged in the culinary field, which focuses on the catering sector. The research methods used are quantitative and qualitative methods based on trusted scientific journals and articles. This research focuses on the compensation system and standard of living needs of UKM Catering employees. The data processing and analysis method used to develop a job value-based compensation system and job grading in Catering UKM is using Compensable Factors analysis using Adhered Salary Mapping, Salary Mapping Overlapping. The results of this study indicate that an effective compensation system to be implemented by Catering UKM is by using the Overlapping method. This is because the overlapping method of salary distribution is more profitable because the salary increase is not as big as the adhered method.
Preparing sixth-form students for the transition into higher education: developing key research skills through the EPQ
Authors: Thompson Emma
Published: November 2023

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is a Level 3 qualification which allows students to develop an independent research project on a topic outside of their A-Level studies, culminating in either a dissertation or artefact final product (both research-based, with a written component) (AQA, 2023). The University of Southampton Learn with US Transition Programme provides free interactive workshops and guidance to sixth-form students in state schools undertaking the EPQ, particularly targeting schools that meet our widening participation (WP) criteria (The Learn with US Transition Programme, 2023).
The persistence of long-standing awarding gaps at university, especially for WP and minoritised students, demonstrates the importance of improving equality, diversity, and inclusion at all stages of the student lifecycle, including the transition into higher education (Harrison and Waller, 2018; Matheson, 2018). Research from the University of Southampton observes that higher proportions of students with an EPQ achieve first class and 2:1 degree awards compared to the proportion of students that don’t have an EPQ. In addition, an exploratory analysis of our most recent research (as yet unpublished) indicates that the EPQ may also contribute to reduced awarding gaps for students from underrepresented backgrounds in HE.
Our approach to developing interventions targeted to address specific milestones of the EPQ project can be used to inform practice for other Learning Developer practitioners, including:

Embedding interactive activities into workshops to maintain interest and build confidence.
Emphasising the transferability of research skills in a range of contexts.
Encouraging students to direct their own learning through developing dialogue and asking questions, instead of providing a ‘right’ answer.
Linking up to post-entry academic skills support to enable a smooth transition to university (Stoten, 2014; Cripps et al., 2018; Gill, 2018; Stephenson and Isaacs, 2019).

Feedback from students and teachers consistently demonstrates that this approach develops key research skills, and student confidence in viewing themselves as potential members of a university community (Cripps et al., 2018).
Bridging the transition gap
Authors: Jonassen Liv
Published: November 2023

Issues around transition to university have been widely discussed, with the recent pandemic highlighting issues such as students’ lack of confidence in engaging in higher education and lack of knowledge around some of the expectations and skills required (Advance HE,2020), but one aspect which has been somewhat under researched is the link between academic skills required by 6th form students and stage 1 undergraduate students (Baker, 2016) . The Bridging the Gap project is a collaboration between students, the Academic Skills team and the Education Outreach team at Newcastle University. Our project co-created accessible, engaging, interactive resources based on feedback from both 6th form students and (undergraduate (UG) students with the student voice at the heart of the project. We worked with paid interns to not only use the information gathered from focus groups to inform resource development but also to consider how our message was communicated to students. To date, several resources have been developed around topics such as time management and evaluation of sources. Although still in the development phase, the project team has been able to gather some formative feedback from UG students, 6th form students as well as teachers. Further, the impact of the project has been highlighted by gaining additional funding for a two-year project coordinator.
This session outlined what we have learned about working collaboratively with students to provide resources to help develop core academic and research skills to build confidence and support the transition from secondary to higher education. We highlighted the project phases, how we were able to work collaboratively and how we were able to ensure that the student input and evaluation were central to the project in order to provide a good practice framework.
Ways of rethinking inclusion for disabled students in Higher Education
Authors: Ingle Julian
Published: November 2023

The word ‘inclusion’ now frequently appears in the marketing strategies of many UK universities, despite the equivocal ways the term is used across the sector (Koutsouris et al., 2022). For some of us in the field of disability studies, these ambiguities in the ways the concept of inclusion is used are one of the reasons why it has become emptied of meaning. While notionally disclosing the invisible work entailed in being disabled (Wertans and Burch, 2022), inclusion also implies a form of privileging: those on the inside determine who is included and on what grounds. This assimilationist discourse reproduces the socio-political structures and practices that categorise those who are outsiders (Biesta 2010; Biesta, 2019). Moreover, the technocratic nature of the current political context in which performance and its measurement are the main drivers of how higher education (HE) is required to address underrepresented groups and their performance (Peters, 2020; Supiot, 2021), for example, through access and participation plans, not only homogenises disability but inevitably excludes others (Evans and Zhu, 2022). For example, this may happen to postgraduate students, international students or those who, because of the discrimination and stigma they experience, choose not to disclose a disability. This presentation explored the problematic nature of inclusion in relation to disabled students in HE and how it might impact on the work of learning developers. The paper explored Biesta’s concept of ‘transclusion’ as a way of transforming and rethinking how we conceptualise and enact equality of access, participation and social justice and what this could mean for practitioners. It highlighted the extent to which we, as practitioners, could contest and respond to the complex demands of inclusion in ways that might help change institutional cultures and thinking about disability so that disabled students (and staff) remain less invisible.
The 'master's dissertation fair': reflections on impact and future development
Authors: Koromila Georgia , Hood Sonia
Published: November 2023

Every year in early spring, postgraduate taught (PGT) students start preparing for their dissertation project. At the University of Reading, this time coincides with the end of teaching, including the Library seminars supporting skills development. Acknowledging that our sessions were ill-timed to support effectively our PGT students at a challenging stage in their degree trajectory, the Study Advice and Academic Liaison teams at the University of Reading Library trialled in June 2020 a week of webinars tailored to PGT level and focusing on elements of the dissertation. The Master’s Dissertation Fair was born! The popularity and positive reception of the initiative took us by surprise and motivated us to continue running the Master’s Dissertation Fair as an annual tradition ever since.

In this session, we shared our reflections on the successes and lessons learnt from the first three iterations of this programme, focusing on its Study Advice component. We reviewed the student feedback collected post session and explored what the impact was on our one-to-one service in supporting PGT students with dissertation projects over the summer. We also discussed how this initiative impacted our team, as it provided a (rare for us) opportunity to plan and develop collaboratively a coherent and complementary set of sessions. Finally, we explored how this reflection on impact can inform our planning for a more holistic approach to PGT support. For example, are there opportunities to use new formats beyond the webinar? What else could we do to improve our reach and inclusivity?
How can we incorporate nature connection into our work as learning developers?

This poster presents reflections on a year of facilitating regular outdoor ‘walk and talk’ activities embedded within a taught academic skills module. The aims were to foster connections between students, to deepen their sense of belonging, and to positively impact on their mental health by inviting them to spend time in local green spaces during timetabled class hours.
