Modeling Budgeting Transparency Framework using Service Oriented Architecture in Indonesia
Authors: Wicaksono Soetam Rizky
Published: July 2018

The need of transparency in government budgeting application, especially in state government of Indonesia has already increased. Since that Indonesia, according to Open Index Report, merely scored less than 70 point for its budgeting transparency, thus it means there are lots of to do in order to create more transparency in it. It also stated that one of the key in country prosperity is when its budgeting has reach better transparency so it will create better utilization for prosperity. It also stated that corruption level in Indonesia has reached bigger point that other country in South East Asia. Thus, it need a comprehensive and integrated system which can decrease unfairness in budgeting implementation while there is merely small modification in its existing system. This research tries to create early information system framework of budgeting transparency process in Indonesia. In order to minimize modification in its system the framework uses service oriented architecture. While Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is one of solution which can create framework for this problem. Using its capability, SOA will However, the result of this research should be tested in a prototype of complete information system for better implementation in future
Initial observations of water quality indicators in the Dili City unconfined, shallow aquifer, Timor-Leste, and suggestions for management of this common-pool groundwater resource
Authors: Ximenes Marcal , Duffy Brendan , Faria Mafaldo J.
Published: July 2018

The management of groundwater quality is a critical issue in developing nations where sanitation and drinking-water targets are commonly addressed by facilitating access to groundwater, which is then managed as a common-pool resource. We investigate the quality of the shallow unconfined groundwater in Dili’s alluvial fan system, which 50% of Dili’s rapidly growing population access for all their water requirements. Using the basic chemical and microbiological analyses that are locally available (sulfate, total hardness, fluoride, manganese, iron, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, total Coliform and E. Coli.) we show that the shallow wells commonly contain enhanced concentrations of dissolved solids and microbiological contaminants (Total coliform and E. Coli.), relative to deeper wells. Cool, shallow wells fare worse than warm equivalents. Elevated nitrate and nitrite pollution in the embassy district are tentatively attributed to affluence factors, such as lawn cultivation and water filtration equipment. Microbiological contamination, and associated manganese contamination of groundwater, mimic population patterns but are concentrated in the finer grained sediments of the small fans and low slope interdistributory areas. We suggest that rapid development and successful implementation of appropriate sanitation policy in Dili (and elsewhere) is required to address the problematic features of the shallow groundwater system. Success will be predicated on 1) the establishment of baseline data, and 2) development of a systems-thinking approach to holistic water resource management. Any such program must engage with community leadership and water politics, and with the full, presently poorly understood, cohort of water-related service providers and NGOs operating in Timor-Leste.
Are there sex differences in the brain basis of literacy related skills? Evidence from reading and spelling impairments after early unilateral brain damage
Authors: Frith Uta , Vargha-Khadem Faraneh
Published: July 2018

Reading and spelling performance was analysed for a sample of 45 children with unilateral brain damage. Boys showed impairments only when the lesion was on the left, while girls showed no significant impairments when either hemisphere was affected. The results support the hypothesis that specialised substrates, which underlie literacy acquisition, have limited plasticity and may be more strongly lateralised to the left hemisphere in males than in females.
Quantum Suicide Thesis with Quantum Immortality
Authors: GUPTA SAYANTAN
Published: July 2018

In quantum mechanics, quantum suicide is a thought experiment, originally published independently by Hans Moravec in1987 and Bruno Marchal in 1988, and independently developed further by Max Tegmark in 1998. It attempts to distinguish betweenthe Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics and the Everett many-worlds interpretation by means of a variation of theSchrodinger's cat thought experiment, from the cat's point of view. Quantum immortality refers to the subjective experience ofsurviving quantum suicide regardless of the odds. The paper is a survey of the experiment of quantum suicide.

Risk and Self-Respect
Authors: Barnes Lucy , Baderin Alice
Published: July 2018

What is the nature of the experience of risk? Risk can impose distinctive burdens on individuals: making us anxious, impairing our relationships, and limiting our ability to plan our lives. On the other hand, risky situations are sometimes exciting, liberating, and even empowering. The article explores the idea that risk can result in benefits for the individuals who bear it. Specifically, we evaluate John Tomasi’s claim that the experience of economic risk is a precondition of individual self-respect. Philosophical claims about the social bases of self-respect such as Tomasi’s have not been subjected to sufficient empirical scrutiny. The article exemplifies an alternative approach, by integrating philosophical argument with the analysis of large-scale survey data. Whilst Tomasi’s claim has force in some contexts, evidence from the economic domain shows that risk tends to undermine rather than to support self-respect.
The slow university: inequality, power and alternatives
Authors: Martell Luke
Published: July 2018

The slow university is said to be an alternative to the fast one. But what is behind speed at universities? In this paper I argue that it is important not to fetishise speed or slowness and see them as autonomous processes, or the cause of their effects themselves. This distracts from where they come from. Instead we need to look for the economic and social processes behind speed and slowness. And what is slow about the slow university? We also need to ask if slow is what slow is really all about. This affects what solutions we look for to the problems that slow identifies.
Optimizing Ontology Alignments by Using Genetic Algorithms
Authors: Martinez-Gil Jorge , Montes José Francisco Aldana , Alba Enrique , Aldana-Montes J. F.
Published: July 2018

In this work we present GOAL (Genetics for Ontology Align- ments) a new approach to compute the optimal ontology alignment func- tion for a given ontology input set. Although this problem could be solved by an exhaustive search when the number of similarity measures is low, our method,is expected to scale better for a high number,of measures. Our approach is a genetic algorithm which is able to work with several goals: maximizing the alignment precision, maximizing the alignment re- call, maximizing the f-measure or reducing the number of false positives. Moreover, we test it here by combining some cutting-edge similarity mea- sures over a standard benchmark, and the results obtained show several advantages in relation to other techniques.

Barriers to Multiculturalism: Ingroup Favoritism and Outgroup Hostility are Independently Associated with Policy Opposition
Authors: Perry Ryan , Priest Naomi , Paradies Yin , Barlow Fiona , Sibley Chris G
Published: July 2018

The current study presents a direct comparison of the level of association of ingroup favoritism and outgroup hostility with opposition to multiculturalism policies in New Zealand. With both predictors operationalized as affect ratings of warmth and anger across separate models, ingroup favoritism and outgroup hostility were independently associated with European New Zealanders’ (N = 10,869) opposition to both resource-specific and symbolic policies. Furthermore, ingroup favoritism was more strongly associated with opposition to resource-specific policies which represent high realistic threat (compared with symbolic policies). In contrast, outgroup hostility was more consistently associated with both policy domains.
Six Provocations for Big Data
Authors: boyd danah , Crawford Kate
Published: July 2018

The era of Big Data has begun. Computer scientists, physicists, economists, mathematicians, political scientists, bio-informaticists, sociologists, and many others are clamoring for access to the massive quantities of information produced by and about people, things, and their interactions. Diverse groups argue about the potential benefits and costs of analyzing information from Twitter, Google, Verizon, 23andMe, Facebook, Wikipedia, and every space where large groups of people leave digital traces and deposit data. Significant questions emerge. Will large-scale analysis of DNA help cure diseases? Or will it usher in a new wave of medical inequality? Will data analytics help make people’s access to information more efficient and effective? Or will it be used to track protesters in the streets of major cities? Will it transform how we study human communication and culture, or narrow the palette of research options and alter what ‘research’ means? Some or all of the above?

Artikel ini telah terbit pada jurnal Spirulina, Jurnal Penelitian Kesehatan dan farmasi. Vol. 4 No 1, Januari 2009. Hal : 1-20. Pusat Penelitian Kesehatan. Lembaga Penelitian Universitas Jember. ISSN 1907-2171. The drain field distance of wastewater`s septic tank to digging well plays important role in sanitation. It contributes to movements of fecal coliform through the soil which follows the water flow. The objective of the research was to study the movements of fecal coliform in the soil. one water sample and 5 soil samples were collected from 0 to 2 m soil depth. Laboratory analysis has been done to quantify the fecal coliform bacteria. Spatial distribution of fecal coliform bacteria is analyzed using Surfer program. Pore size distribution and hydraulic conductivity analyzed with the empirical method based on particle size laboratory analyzed. Our result indicated the digging well`s water and soil sample from the drain field were contaminated with fecal coliform bacteria. The laboratory result showed digging well`s water was contaminated with > 2400 MPN/100ml of fecal coliform. Meanwhile, soil samples were contaminated with 7 to 1600 MPN fecal coliform in different depth. Analysis of soil sample showed pore size distribution was dominated by mesopore and moderate hydraulic conductivity. Unperfect digging well construction as well as the high rate of hydraulic conductivity were determined as driving factors on fecal coliform movement. The empirical model of fecal coliform movement gives information about estimating a period of the contaminated wells water.

Response latency in social psychological research
Authors: Nosek Brian A.
Published: July 2018

Existing norms for scientific communication are rooted in anachronistic practices of bygone eras, making them needlessly inefficient. We outline a path that moves away from the existing model of scientific communication to improve the efficiency in meeting the purpose of public science – knowledge accumulation. We call for six changes: (1) full embrace of digital communication, (2) open access to all published research, (3) disentangling publication from evaluation, (4) breaking the “one article, one journal” model with a grading system for evaluation and diversified dissemination outlets, (5) publishing peer review, and, (6) allowing open, continuous peer review. We address conceptual and practical barriers to change, and provide examples showing how the suggested practices are being used already. The critical barriers to change are not technical or financial; they are social. While scientists guard the status quo, they also have the power to change it.

Self-presentation moderates correspondence between implicit and explicit attitudes
Authors: Jon
Published: July 2018

It is a psychological truism that some elements of the mind are unavailable to conscious introspection. Recent research suggests that attitudes exist as entities that one can reflect upon and self-report (explicit attitudes), and also as entities that exist outside of conscious awareness or control (implicit attitudes). The nature of the relationship between implicit and explicit attitudes is not understood. One factor thought to distinguish implicit and explicit attitudes is the latter’s greater vulnerability to self-presentation demands. Specifically, relationships between implicit and explicit attitudes may be maximized when self-presentational demands are low (private reporting) versus high (public reporting). In a single session, participants reported attitudes in both a private and public context and completed implicit attitude measures. A mediational test showed that correspondence between implicit attitudes and public attitudes was completely mediated by private attitudes. These data suggest that self-presentation is one factor involved in the prediction of implicit-explicit correspondence.
Cue Awareness in Avoiding Effortful Control (in press)
Authors: Dunn Tim , Gaspar Connor , Lab Canb
Published: July 2018

Based on a cue-based metacognitive account, cognitive effort is the result of an inferential evaluation made over explicitly available cues. Following from this account, we present here a pre-registered experiment that tested the specific hypothesis that explicit awareness of cues that are aligned with cognitive demand is a prerequisite in avoiding effortful lines of action. We attempted to modulate levels of effort avoidance behavior by introducing an incentive (between-subjects) to monitor two lines of action that, unbeknownst to individuals, varied in the probability of a task switch. Importantly, previous research has demonstrated that the difference in these probabilities is relatively opaque to individuals. We did not find strong evidence for our incentive manipulation having an effect on demand avoidance as indexed by individuals’ choices in a block of the task where avoiding effort was instructed. However, when considering awareness generally, we do find that being aware of the task-switching cue appears to increase the likelihood of demand avoidance. We consider these results within the context of the metacognition of cognitive effort.
Optimisasi CO2 Captured dan Distribusi untuk Enhanced Oil Recovery
Authors: Khalil Muhammad
Published: July 2018

Indonesia memiliki power plants yang tersebar di berbagai daerah baik milik PLN ataupun perusahaan swasta (Non PLN). Setiap perusahaan akan mengemisikan Karbon dioksida (CO2) dari hasil pembakaran pada power plant. Sebagai suatu polutan, CO2 memiliki potensi untuk digunakan pada proses industri seperti Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). CO2 EOR merupakan suatu usaha meningkatkan produksi minyak dengan cara injeksi CO2 ke dalam suatu sumur produksi tahap tersier. CO2 EOR dapat diterapkan di Indonesia dikarenakan terdapat beberapa power plants (sources) dan perusahaan minyak (sinks), khususnya di Jawa Timur. Hal ini memungkinkan untuk dapat mendistribusikan CO2 dari sources menuju sinks menggunakan perpipaan. Akan tetapi untuk mengaplikasikannya, dibutuhkan biaya (cost) CO2 captured, perpipaan, dan fasilitas EOR. Cost tersebut bergantung pada jumlah CO2 yang dialirkan, jarak dan teknologi yang digunakan, sehingga dibutuhkan optimisasi dikarenakan adanya variasi jumlah CO2 dan jarak. Dalam hal ini variabel optimisasi yaitu jalur perpipaan dan mass flowrate CO2 captured. Terdapat tujuh CO2 sources dengan kapasitas dan lokasi yang berbeda. Selain itu, terdapat tujuh sinks dengan kebutuhan injeksi CO2 yang berbeda pula. Hasil optimisasi menunjukkan CAPEX dan OPEX minimal. Nilai CAPEX dan OPEX setiap source bergantung pada jarak antara source dan sink beserta jumlah mass flowrate CO2 yang didistribusikan. Adapun source CO2 yang terpilih yaitu source 1,3,4 dan 7. Source yang tersisa (2, 5 dan 6) tidak dimanfaatkan dikarenakan pertimbangan cost.

A Tool to Support MOOC Teachers with Questionnaires, Adaptive Lessons, and Experimental Comparisons
Authors: Savi Alexander Olof
Published: July 2018

One promise of online learning is the opportunity to swiftly experiment and implement. That is, the digital nature of online learning greatly eases the process of randomly assigning learners to educational interventions, selecting the most promising one, and propelling that intervention to all learners. Such evidence-based interventions enable iterative and domain-specific improvements to online learning environments. In Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs), a popular branch of online learning, learners could benefit greatly from such improvements, provided that their teachers are equipped with the appropriate tools for the experiment and implement routine. In the current paper I introduce such a tool. This tool exploits Qualtrics, popular software for creating and distributing surveys, to extend native MOOC functionality with random assignment, additional educational elements, and options for personalizing educational content. The tool is not only available to MOOC teachers, but can also be easily adapted to any online learning environment that supports the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) protocol. I discuss some of the major issues in MOOC research and show how the Qualtrics integration can contribute to those issues, ultimately providing MOOC teachers with a powerful tool to make evidence-based course improvements.
Local Labor Demand and Program Participation Dynamics: Evidence from New York SNAP Administrative Records
Authors: Scherpf Erik , Cerf Benjamin
Published: July 2018

This study estimates the effect of fluctuations in local labor conditions on the likelihood that existing participants are able to transition out of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Our primary data are SNAP administrative records from New York (2007–2012) linked to the 2010 Census at the person-level. We further augment these data by linking to industry-specific labor market indicators at the county-level. We find that local labor markets matter for the length of time individuals spend on SNAP, but there is substantial heterogeneity in estimated effects across local industries. While employment growth in industries with small shares of SNAP participants has no impact on SNAP exits, growth in local industries with high shares of SNAP participants, especially food service and retail, significantly increases the likelihood that recipients exit the program. We also observe corresponding increases in entries when these industries experience localized contractions. Notably, estimated industry effects vary across race groups and parental status, with Black Alone non-Hispanic, Hispanic, and mothers benefiting the least from improvements in local labor market conditions. Our models include county fixed effects and time trends, and our results are identified by detrended within-county variation in local labor market conditions. We confirm that our results are not driven by endogenous inter-county mobility, New York City labor markets, or cohort composition effects associated with the Great Recession.
Convex Relaxations for Global Optimization Under Uncertainty Described by Continuous Random Variables
Authors: Shao Yuanxun , Scott Joseph Kirk
Published: July 2018

This article considers nonconvex global optimization problems subject to uncertainties described by continuous random variables. Such problems arise in chemical process design, renewable energy systems, stochastic model predictive control, etc. Here, we restrict our attention to problems with expected-value objectives and no recourse decisions. In principle, such problems can be solved globally using spatial branch-and-bound (B&B). However, B&B requires the ability to bound the optimal objective value on subintervals of the search space, and existing techniques are not generally applicable because expected-value objectives often cannot be written in closed-form. To address this, this article presents a new method for computing convex and concave relaxations of nonconvex expected-value functions, which can be used to obtain rigorous bounds for use in B&B. Furthermore, these relaxations obey a second-order pointwise convergence property, which is sufficient for finite termination of B&B under standard assumptions. Empirical results are shown for three simple examples.

The development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) plays an important role in improving the economy of Indonesia. According to the study the Central Bureau of Statistics, demographic trends will increase Indonesia. This could be a threat and an opportunity. Demographic trends threat when the increase is only being targeted overseas businessmen. An opportunity when the Indonesian people were able to take this opportunity and vying to become an entrepreneur. SMEs, which independent small and medium sized enterprises constitute the most appropriate form of business for the nation of Indonesia. The great potential of MSMEs implementation is hampered by the inability of businesses in obtaining capital, which is one of the reasons, is the inability of MSMEs in presenting the financial statements. This is due to limited human resource capacity SMEs in understanding and preparing financial accounting statements according to standards known to be difficult for small and medium businesses.To solve these problems, then there needs to be a financial information system for SMEs applied for is user friendly, easy to use and is based on financial standards more easily and d = simple, the Financial Accounting Standards for Entities without Public Accountability (SAK ETAP). This paper discusses Reporting Model, functional design and interface design for a system of financial information of SMEs on the basis of SAK-ETAP.
A Way to Improve Functional Face Localiser: The Influence of Low-Level Visual Features
Authors: Korolkova Olga
Published: July 2018

In functional MRI studies a very common procedure is to use one or more functional localisers, to delineate the regions in the brain that consistently show more activation to a particular type of events or stimuli. One example is faces versus places localiser, which helps to distinguish between areas that are active during visual perception of faces and other complex images like buildings. However, it is important to make sure that the low-level properties of the images do not differ significantly between the categories of stimuli, as it can lead to incorrect identification of the areas of interest. Here we discuss one possible way to improve the specificity of face localiser, achieved by eliminating the differences in colour and intensity distribution between images of faces and of buildings using the SHINE toolbox. A group of participants (N=8) was tested on both localisers with corrected and uncorrected images, and differences in visual cortex activation were found. Therefore we recommend to use this or similar procedure to enhance the quality and reliability of functional localisers.

Published: July 2018

The description and understanding of the learning has changed significantly over time and is still in its transformational modern stage, which necessitates exploration and investigation of the pros and cons of innovative changes in the field of education. Some teachers resist those changes and do not feel comfortable teaching through or with mobile technology as they do not want to look incompetent when they are unable to troubleshoot. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the methodology of qualitative studies conducted on the integration of mobile technology in language classroom and teachers’ attitudes towards using technology in teaching. The paper aims at examining 15 studies published in educational journals between 2006 and 2016. The articles discuss two aspects of educational technology: mobile technology integration in education and teachers’ attitudes and professional development for implementing technology in language classroom.

Published: July 2018

Before classroom action research was done, mathematical communication ability of the students at VIII B MTs N Kudus is not quite sufficient. This condition was caused by some factors, they are : the learning model was still convensional, where the teacher explained the definition or theorem orally so that the learning process at class was very bored, then the teacher gave an example and after that teacher gave some questions as exercises, the teacher also do not pay attention to mathematical communication ability so that students were affraid to ask and can not explain their idea, the students just memorize and remember their knowledge without learning experience.Based on this condition, classroom action research is done. JIGSAW model by using Kartu Masalah (Kartu Masalah ~ Problem Card) is a cooperative learning model consists of 4-5 students, every member of domain group has responsibility to solve the problem given through (Kartu Masalah ~ Problem Card). The member of group who have same problems meet into a new group which called expert group then discuss the problem. From expert group the member of group come back to their domain group and explain the solution to another member. After that they must explain and present theirsolution in front of the class. in the last step the teacher give a quiz and give award.This research was conducting in two cycles with taking some data through observation and tes. The average of mathematical communication ability test score was increased in every cycle, from the first cycle got 82,68 then was increased into 87,03 at second cycle. The average of mathematical communication activity score was increased from 2,13 in the first cycle to 3,20 at second cycle. And the average of learning management process score was increased from 2,92 to 3,24. Based on the result could be concluded that JIGSAW model by using (Kartu Masalah ~ Problem Card) could improve the student mathematical communication ability of VIII B MTs N Kudus.

Dengan memasukkan teknologi dalam berbagai tugas belajar dan melewati wilayah subjek, pendidik dapat menyediakan bagi peserta didik pengalaman belajar yang mungkin tidak bisa diwujudkan beberapa tahun yang lalu. Penggunaan yang hati-hati dan sesuai dengan tujuan merupakan penggunaan teknologi pendidikan yang merubah peran dari pendidik dan peserta didik dalam meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir urut dan penyelesaian masalah
The development of causal reasoning
Authors: Muentener Paul , Bonawitz Elizabeth
Published: July 2018

This chapter in M. Waldmann (Ed.), Oxford Handbook of Causal Reasoning. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press, explores the development of causal reasoning in early childhood. We review research on the development of causal reasoning in infancy, toddlerhood, and the preschool years with the broad goals of (1) understanding the origin of our mature causal reasoning abilities and (2) discussing how the process of causal reasoning and discovery may change throughout early childhood. Research on causal reasoning in infancy and toddlerhood provides evidence for both domain-specific (object motion, agent action) as well as domain-general (covariation information) roots to causal reasoning. More recent research suggests that representations of agent’s actions may play a particularly important role in the development of causal reasoning. However, independent from the precise origin of causal reasoning, our review on studies with preschool-aged children leads to the conclusion that by about four-years of age children are integrating domain-general covariation information with domain-specific prior knowledge, as well as with causal inductive constraints and more general inductive biases, to rapidly and effectively represent causal structure.
Changes of Tropical Cyclone Size in three Oceanic Basins of the Northern Hemisphere since 2001
Authors: zhang banglin
Published: July 2018

In this study the latest changes of tropical cyclone size are analyzed based on linear and quadratic curve fittings of the National Hurricane Center (NHC)/Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) best track data for the radius of maximum wind (RMW), the average radius of 34-kt wind (AR34), and the storm duration index “storm days” (SD) in three oceanic basins of the North Atlantic (NATL), the Western North Pacific (WPAC) and the Eastern North Pacific (EPAC). The computations are done separately for two categories of tropical cyclones: tropical storms (TS), and hurricanes in NATL and EPAC or typhoons in WPAC (HT). The results show that the RMW trends for TS are positive in all basins, and the RMW trends for HT are positive in the NATL basin, but negative in the WPAC and EPAC basins. The AR34 changes are more complex due to the fact that they reflect not only the strength of tropical cyclones, but also the environmental conditions. The trends of two other data sets, with WPAC dataset from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and the extended best track dataset for NATL and EPAC from NESDIS/RAMMB, are also consistent with the trends derived from the 16-year best track data. The relationships between storm size and sea surface temperature anomaly and the departure from the zonal mean have also been investigated, and some statistically significant correlations are found.
Unique structure is found in human chromosome DNA sequences
Authors: Chen Zhiyu
Published: July 2018

We have found that each human chromosome has an unique structure, which is about 1 percent of the length of the entire chromosome. We analyze the NCBI all other 117 kinds different creatures , we analyze their every chromosome sequence, in these 3500 chromosome sequences, there has not a chromosome which has the same unique structure as the human chromosomes , we think the unique structure only exists in human chromosomes and does not exist in other creatures chromosomes. We also find this structure position is very near the centromere in every human chromosome. we give our report to the world, we hope other researchers do more research deeply, it is very important to human.

Adding Value and Facilitating Data Reuse: the Case of the 4TU.Centre for Research Data
Authors: Cruz Maria J. , Gramsbergen Egbert
Published: July 2018

The history of the 4TU.Centre for Research Data goes back to 2008, when it started as a project of the libraries of three technical universities in the Netherlands. The aim was to serve the data curation needs of heterogeneous research communities. Fast forward ten years, and over 90% of the data stored in the 4TU archive are geoscientific datasets coded in netCDF (Network Common Data Form). This is a data format and model that, although generic, is mostly and widely used in atmospheric sciences and oceanography. As an endeavour to ensure that the 4TU.Centre for Research Data remains relevant and successful in the long term, we are exploring options for expanding the services related to netCDF data and potentially build a community of netCDF data depositors and users. Here we present the results of semi-structured, qualitative interviews with eleven researchers, all based in the Netherlands, who use and produce netCDF data; nine of them deposited netCDF data in the 4TU archive. These researchers represent heterogeneous research communities within the Earth sciences, with different views and attitudes to data archiving and publishing. Any new services or community building attempts will need to take this diversity into account. A common need for training and advice may guide the way forward for the 4TU.Centre for Research Data.
