Robot in the loop: a human-centered approach to contextualizing AI and robotics in construction
Authors: Wu Yuning , Erdolu Emek , Wei Jiaying , Oh Jean , Cardoso Llach Daniel 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThis article documents the multidisciplinary design and evaluation of a robot to assist carpentry workers on a building site in the United States. Combining ethnographic and technical design research methods, it contributes a path towards the human-centered development of construction robotics technologies. Since the 1980s, researchers have envisioned robots performing skilled construction tasks such as bricklaying, painting, spray-coating, or site monitoring. In this article, we envision instead robots performing simpler, ancillary activities supporting workers while they collaboratively carry out building tasks. We draw from an extended ethnographic engagement with construction workers to inform the design of a prototype rover able to accompany and deliver tools to carpentry workers installing formwork panels. Following a review of the state of the art in construction robotics and ethnography in technology design, we show how insights drawn from our ethnographic study informed the robot’s design as well as its innovative deep reinforcement learning (DRL) architecture for social navigation. Evaluating the robot in simulations, lab settings, and on a construction floor we document its benefits, including apt social navigation and user comfort in construction floors, and reflect on its limitations. Proposing “robot in the loop” as a design pattern combining ethnographic and technical design research, the article shows how the world of construction might be brought closer to the world of technology design, centering workers’ contexts and experiences in the design of new technologies aimed at supporting them.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
This article presents a comparative analysis of the potential of two large language model (LLM)-based chatbots—ChatGPT and Bing Chat (recently rebranded to Microsoft Copilot)—to detect veracity of political information. We use AI auditing methodology to investigate how chatbots evaluate true, false, and borderline statements on five topics: COVID-19, Russian aggression against Ukraine, the Holocaust, climate change, and LGBTQ + -related debates. We compare how the chatbots respond in high- and low-resource languages by using prompts in English, Russian, and Ukrainian. Furthermore, we explore chatbots’ ability to evaluate statements according to political communication concepts of disinformation, misinformation, and conspiracy theory, using definition-oriented prompts. We also systematically test how such evaluations are influenced by source attribution. The results show high potential of ChatGPT for the baseline veracity evaluation task, with 72% of the cases evaluated in accordance with the baseline on average across languages without pre-training. Bing Chat evaluated 67% of the cases in accordance with the baseline. We observe significant disparities in how chatbots evaluate prompts in high- and low-resource languages and how they adapt their evaluations to political communication concepts with ChatGPT providing more nuanced outputs than Bing Chat. These findings highlight the potential of LLM-based chatbots in tackling different forms of false information in online environments, but also point to the substantial variation in terms of how such potential is realized due to specific factors (e.g. language of the prompt or the topic).
Assessing the Environmental Kuznets Curve in Agricultural Transport: The Case of Brazilian Soy
Authors: Costa Everton Lima , Rocha Fernando Vinícius da , Péra Thiago Guilherme , Caixeta Filho José Vicente 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThis research investigates the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis within Brazil’s soy transportation sector. It aims to determine if CO2 emissions from soy transport show an “Inverted-U” or “N” shaped relationship with income from 2002 to 2017. Using a mathematical optimization model and System GMM for analysis, the study finds an “N” shaped EKC, indicating emissions initially increase, decrease, and then rise again with income. This suggests long-term environmental damage from sector growth, highlighting the need for targeted measures to mitigate emissions and enhance operational productivity, such as investments in intermodal transport and road efficiency improvements.
Hydrogeological conceptualization of a small island groundwater system using historical data

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Past hydrogeological processes and human impacts may exert substantial memory effects on today’s groundwater systems. Thorough characterization of such long-term processes is required for scientists and policymakers to predict the hydrogeological impacts of land management options. Especially in data-scarce areas, historical data are essential to unravel long-term hydrogeological processes, which could not be identified by short-term fieldwork or model simulations alone. However, historical data are often overlooked or only used as background information in most hydrogeological studies. We show that the combination of historical reports and quantitative data yields major insights in the hydrogeological system of Curaçao, a small semi-arid Caribbean island. Reconstructing the island’s groundwater conditions over the past 500 years revealed that deforestation and excessive abstraction has had a detrimental effect on the island’s groundwater reserves. Historical notes and data revealed major signs of seawater intrusion, especially during abstraction peaks in the island’s industrial era. Intrusion effects are still observed locally on the island today, but additional groundwater recharge by waste water has caused freshening elsewhere. We hypothesize that the observed aquifer replenishment locally enhances submarine groundwater discharge, flushing accumulated nutrients and pollutants towards Curaçao’s fringing coral reefs. We expect that this study’s insights motivate more hydrogeologists to use historical reports and data in future studies.
Permafrost and hydrogeology of quaternary deposits at Cape Welchness, Dundee Island (Antarctic Peninsula)
Authors: Silva Busso Adrián , Moreno-Merino Luis 
Published: December 2024

AbstractCape Welchness is an uncovered ice area on Dundee Island (north-east of the Antarctic Peninsula), mostly covered by Holocene-age glacial-glaciomarine deposits of up to 70 m in depth. In some areas, rocks from the Trinity Group and the Gustav Group outcrop. Syngenetic cryounits with an active layer development of 0.8 m and ice content ranging from 6% to 15%, increasing with depth, have been detected. Epigenetic units develop an active layer of up to 1.25 m (6–16% ice content), with similar depth values. Along the coastal zone, cryopeg reaches nearly 8 m in depth, alternating between ice, fresh water and saline water. The low and high plains exhibit extensive areas of open talik. In the low plain, a suprapermafrost summer aquifer with a thickness of 1.25–1.50 m develops. Glacial-fed creeks discharge 98% of the water input, while snow-fed creeks contribute only 0.04 Hm3/month. The ponds are divided into those fed by glaciers (linked to open talik) and those fed by precipitation (linked to closed talik). Creeks have an average salinity of 198 mg/l, lakes 190 mg/l and groundwater 223 mg/l. This study focuses on the area of the new Petrel Base, designed to enhance Argentine logistics.

AbstractGlobal storm‐resolving model (GSRM) simulations (kilometer‐scale horizontal resolution) of the atmosphere can capture the interaction between the scales of deep cumulus convection and the large‐scale dynamics and thermodynamic properties of the atmosphere. Here, we assess the vertical structure of tropical temperature change in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory's GSRM X‐SHiELD, perturbed by a uniform sea surface temperature (SST) warming and/or increased concentration. The simulated warming from an SST increase is weakly amplified relative to the surface through the mid‐troposphere before increasing to a factor of about 2.5 in the upper troposphere. This combination of muted warming in the mid‐troposphere and amplified warming aloft is within the range of CMIP6 models at individual pressure levels but, taken together, is distinctive behavior. The response to increase with unchanged SST is an approximately vertically uniform warming, comparable to CMIP6 models, and is linearly additive with the SST‐induced warming in X‐SHiELD.

AbstractThis work analyzed the ionospheric disturbances over the Asian‐Australian and American sectors during the superstorm that started from ∼17 UT on 10 May 2024. During 17–22.5 UT, the equatorial ΔH recorded the positive and negative disturbances in American and Asian sectors due to the penetration electric fields (PEFs). The Total Electron Content (TEC) at American was enhanced for ∼9 hr within 50°S–40°N, while TEC at Asian‐Australian decreased for ∼3 hr within 10°S–25°N. The equatorward disturbance winds promptly propagated to middle and low latitudes after 1 hr of the storm onset in Asian sector and impeded the negative TEC induced by the westward PEFs. In the recovery phase, the repeated elevations of hmF2s were observed in two sectors under the multiple PEFs resulting from the interplanetary magnetic fields Bz south‐north turning before 12 UT on 11 May. After that, in the American sector the westward disturbance dynamo electric fields were remarkable, and induced the negative storm effects at low latitudes; while in Asian‐Australian sector, the TEC presented the negative storm in the Northern Hemisphere and positive storm in the Southern Hemisphere. In Asian sector, the middle negative TEC storm became positive after 14–24 UT on 11 May and then switched to negative, which firstly occurred in the eastern regions and spread to westward and equatorward. These longitude gradients might be caused by disturbance winds and O/N2. Besides, the positive storm reinforced in conjugated Australian sector when the positive TEC was observed in Asian sector, indicating the possible contribution of the reinforced plasmasphere refilling.

AbstractAsian megadeltas, specifically the Ganges‐Brahmaputra‐Meghna, Irrawaddy, Chao Phraya, Mekong, and Red River deltas host half of the world's deltaic population and are vital for Asian countries' ecosystems and food production. These deltas are extremely vulnerable to global change. Accelerating relative sea‐level rise, combined with rapid socio‐economic development intensifies these vulnerabilities and calls for a comprehensive understanding of current and future coastal flood dynamics. Here we provide a state‐of‐the‐art on the current knowledge and recent advances in quantifying and understanding the drivers of coastal flood‐related hazards in these deltas. We discuss the environmental and physical drivers, including climate influence, hydrology, oceanography, geomorphology, and geophysical processes and how they interact from short to long‐term changes, including during extreme events. We also jointly examine how human disturbances, with catchment interventions, land use changes and resource exploitations, contribute to coastal flooding in the deltas. Through a systems perspective, we characterize the current state of the deltaic systems and provide essential insights for shaping their sustainable future trajectories regarding the multifaceted challenges of coastal flooding.

AbstractThe randomized phase 3 CHART trial (NCT03520478) revealed that rezvilutamide (REZ) plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in high-volume, metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) significantly enhanced radiographic progression-free and overall survival than bicalutamide (BIC)-ADT. Accordingly, we examined patient-reported outcomes (PROs) results, which were exploratory endpoints in the CHART trial. The patients were randomly allocated to receive REZ-ADT or BIC-ADT in a 1:1 ratio. The PROs were evaluated with the Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate (FACT-P) questionnaires. Both study groups displayed comparable baseline pain scores and functional status. Patients administered REZ-ADT had an extended time to progression of worst pain intensity in comparison to those treated with BIC-ADT (25th percentile, 9.2 [95% CI 7.4–16.6] vs. 6.4 months [95% CI 5.5–8.3]; HR 0.75 [95% CI 0.57–0.97]; p = 0.026). Similarly, patients received REZ-ADT exhibited a delayed time to progression of pain interference in comparison to those receiving BIC-ADT (25th percentile, 20.2 [95% CI 12.9–31.3] vs. 10.2 months [95% CI 7.4–11.1]; HR 0.70 [95% CI 0.52–0.93]; p = 0.015). Additionally, the REZ-ADT group demonstrated a prolonged delay in the deterioration of the total score on the FACT-P questionnaire (25th percentile, 12.8 [95% CI 7.4–20.3] vs. 6.0 months [95% CI 4.6–9.2]; HR 0.66 [95% CI 0.50–0.86]; p = 0.002), as well as most of the FACT-P subscale scores, in comparison to the BIC-ADT group. In conclusion, REZ-ADT is superior to BIC-ADT regarding the pain alleviation and enhancement of functional scales for high-volume mHSPC.
Automated galaxy sizes in Euclid images using the Segment Anything Model
Authors: Vega-Ferrero J. , Buitrago F. , Fernández-Iglesias J. , Raji S. , Sahelices B. , Domínguez Sánchez H. 
Published: December 2024

Context. Stellar disk truncations, also referred to as galaxy edges, are key indicators of galactic size, determined by the radial location of the gas density threshold for star formation. This threshold essentially marks the boundary of the luminous matter in a galaxy. Accurately measuring galaxy sizes for millions of galaxies is essential for understanding the physical processes driving galaxy evolution over cosmic time.
Aims. We aim to explore the potential of the Segment Anything Model (SAM), a foundation model designed for image segmentation, to automatically identify disk truncations in galaxy images. With the Euclid Wide Survey poised to deliver vast datasets, our goal is to assess SAM’s capability to measure galaxy sizes in a fully automated manner.
Methods. SAM was applied to a labeled dataset of 1,047 disk-like galaxies with M* > 1010 M⊙ at redshifts up to z ~ 1, sourced from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) CANDELS fields. We “euclidized” the HST galaxy images by creating composite RGB images, using the F160W (H-band), F125W (J-band), and F814W + F606W (I-band + V -band) HST filters, respectively. Using these processed images as input for SAM, we retrieved various truncation masks for each galaxy image under different configurations of the input data.
Results. We find excellent agreement between the galaxy sizes identified by SAM and those measured manually (i.e., by using the radial positions of the stellar disk edges in galaxy light profiles), with an average deviation of approximately 3%. This error reduces to about 1% when excluding problematic cases.
Conclusions. Our results highlight the strong potential of SAM for detecting disk truncations and measuring galaxy sizes across large datasets in an automated way. SAM performs well without requiring extensive image preprocessing, labeled training datasets for truncations (used only for validation), fine-tuning, or additional domain-specific adaptations such as transfer learning.
The formation and stability of a cold disc made out of stellar winds in the Galactic centre
Authors: Calderón Diego , Cuadra Jorge , Russell Christopher M. P. , Burkert Andreas , Rosswog Stephan , Balakrishnan Mayura 
Published: December 2024

Context. The reported discovery of a cold (~104 K) disc-like structure within the central 5 × 10−3 pc around the super-massive black hole at the centre of the Milk Way, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), has challenged our understanding of the gas dynamics and thermodynamic state of the plasma in its immediate vicinity. State-of-the-art simulations do not agree on whether or not such a disc can indeed be a product of the multiple stellar wind interactions of the mass-losing stars in the region.
Aims. The aims of this study are to constrain the conditions for the formation of a cold disc as a natural outcome of the system of the mass-losing stars orbiting around Sgr A*, to investigate whether the disc is a transient or long-lasting structure, and to assess the validity of the model through direct comparisons with observations.
Methods. We performed a set of hydrodynamic simulations of the observed Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars feeding Sgr A* using the finite- volume adaptive mesh refinement code Ramses. We focus, for the first time, on the impact of the chemical composition of the plasma emanating from the WR stars.
Results. The simulations show that the chemical composition of the plasma affects the radiative cooling to a sufficient degree to impact the properties of the medium, such as density and temperature, and, as a consequence, the rate at which the material inflows onto Sgr A*. We demonstrate that the formation of a cold disc from the stellar winds is possible for certain chemical compositions that are consistent with the current observational constraints. However, even in such cases, it is not possible to reproduce the reported properties of the observed disc-like structure, namely its inclination and the fluxes of its hydrogen recombination lines.
Conclusions. We conclude that the stellar winds alone are not sufficient to form the cold disc around Sgr A* inferred from observations. Either relevant ingredients are still missing in the model, or the interpretation of the observed data needs to be revised.
Parental ideologies in heritage language maintenance
Authors: Park Mi Yung , Jee Min Jung 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This study explores the role of parental ideologies in heritage language (HL) maintenance among three interlingual
families in New Zealand. This study draws on data from semi-structured interviews with Korean immigrant mothers and non-Korean
fathers. A thematic approach was used to analyze the data. The findings in this study revealed that the three families placed
great value in Korean HL maintenance. All three family language policies (FLPs) centered around a “One Person, One Language”
approach, with the mothers using Korean. However, there were still wide-ranging variations in their FLPs. Moreover, the mothers’
attitudes toward HL learning were related to their perceptions of their children’s identities, which affected their HL-teaching
strategies. The mothers’ HL maintenance efforts were possible because of their partners’ support. However, their husbands’
positive attitudes were also clearly associated with heteronormative gender roles and a related ideology of parenting. The
findings suggest that even in positive FLP contexts, there is thus still a role for a more holistic and critical approach to HL
maintenance.
Perceptions and management of risk in the translation of a Norwegian-language health app into
English
Authors: Greenall Annjo Klungervik , Schmidt-Melbye Inger Hesjevoll 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Health texts are a type of text where non-optimal translation can have serious consequences. In the
eHealth/mHealth case study presented here, we explore how different categories of translational agents perceive risk and manage it
in the process of translating texts from a Norwegian health app into English. Based on the notion of risk in translation (e.g.,
Pym 2005) and conceptual analysis, we developed a model — The Risk Scenario — which
we used to analyze interview, observational, and think-aloud data gathered during the translation process. We found that while the
LSP and translator/quality checker in our study expressed the most concern over the risk of non-optimal target texts, the author
and client were more focused on the risk of harming the health of end-users. Such differences likely arise from the proximal
versus distal positioning (see Gile 2012) of different agents in relation to the act of
translation. Additionally, we discovered that the type of text found in this kind of app — oral and informal — does not
effectively communicate its risks, reaffirming the need for detailed translation briefs and suggesting that risk should be a
compulsory category for source texts in high-risk domains.
Revising expectations
Authors: Azpilicueta-Martínez Raúl 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Research evidence predominantly based on studies with older learners suggests that Content and Language Integrated
Learning (CLIL) instruction yields significant language gains when exposure exceeds 300 hours (Muñoz, 2015). However, the impact of high-intensity CLIL on young learners’ oral proficiency remains underexplored.
This study examined fluency, pronunciation, and productive vocabulary measures in young L1-Spanish learners (mean age = 10.46)
across four groups: non-CLIL (n = 23), low-CLIL (n = 21), high-CLIL (n = 32),
and a younger high-CLIL group (n = 32; mean age = 9.84) with 0, 707, 2473, and 2164 CLIL hours, respectively.
Socioeconomic status and extramural exposure were controlled. Intraclass correlations, Kruskal-Wallis, post-hoc, and Friedman
tests were conducted. Significant advantages were limited to both high-CLIL groups over the non-CLIL group at the vocabulary
level, providing policymakers with empirical evidence about the markedly different outcomes of high, and low-CLIL programmes in
relation to oral gains with young learners.
