description: Das Wiesenschwein-System ist ein neu entwickeltes Tierhaltungsverfahren, mit dem Tierwohl und Wirtschaftlichkeit näher zusammengebracht werden sollen. Dieses System nutzt modernste Technologien(u.a. Torsteuerung, RFID-Ohrmarken, Bilderkennungsverfahren), um den Schweinen ein Zeitfenster zum Ausleben natürlicher Verhaltensweisen wie Suhlen, Wühlen und Rennen in einem dafür ausgestatteten Areal zur Verfügung zu stellen. Durch die zeitliche Begrenzung kann das Areal von Tieren verschiedener Buchten abwechselnd und damit sehr effizient genutzt werden. Im Rahmen eines Innosuisse-Projektes werden verschiedene Aspekte dieses Systems untersucht und weiterentwickelt. Im vorliegenden Arbeitspaket wurde untersucht, wie sich der Zusatz von Leinsamen, Kräuternund Vitamin-E im Wiesenschwein-Futter in Kombination mit der Wiesenschwein-Haltung auf die Fleisch- und Fettqualität auswirken. Die Fütterungsstrategie beim Haltungssystem «Wiesenschwein» bewirkt im Fleisch und Fett der Wiesenschweine eine für Menschen gesundheitlich vorteilhafte Zusammensetzung. Der Geschmack des Wiesenschweinfleisches wird dadurch nicht beeinträchtigt. Damit weist das neuartige Haltungssystem Wiesenschwein nicht nur Vorteile für das Tierwohl auf, sondern auch einen gesundheitlichen Mehrwert für die Konsumierenden.

description: Drivers are often held responsible for road crashes. Previous research has shown that stressors such as carrying passengers in the vehicle can be a source of accidents for young drivers. To mitigate this problem, this study investigated whether the presence of a passenger behind the wheel can be predicted using machine learning, based on physiological signals. It also addresses the question whether relaxation before driving can positively influence the driver's state and help controlling the potential negative consequences of stressors. Sixty young participants completed a 10-min driving simulator session, either alone or with a passenger. Before their driving session, participants spent 10 min relaxing or listening to an audiobook. Physiological signals were recorded throughout the experiment. Results show that drivers experience a higher increase in skin conductance when driving with a passenger, which can be predicted with 90%-accuracy by a k-nearest neighbors classifier. This might be a possible explanation for increased risk taking in this age group. Besides, the practice of relaxation can be predicted with 80% accuracy using a neural network. According to the statistical analysis, the potential beneficial effect of relaxation did not carry out on the driver's physiological state while driving, although machine learning techniques revealed that participants who exercised relaxation before driving could be recognized with 70% accuracy. Analysis of physiological characteristics after classification revealed several relevant physiological indicators associated with the presence of a passenger and relaxation.

Emploi des jeunes et formation professionnelle : le Partenariat Public Privé, nouvel axe de réforme du système de qualification professionnelle au Sénégal
Creators: name: Abdourahmane Idaly Kamara

Year: 2024

description: L’objet de cet article est d’examiner la structuration organisationnelle du système de formation professionnelle au Sénégal ainsi que ses orientations stratégiques pour l’insertion professionnelle décente des jeunes dans le marché du travail. L’essor démographique enregistré au Sénégal et la pression sur le marché du travail qui en découle du fait de ses difficultés à absorber un flux croissant de jeunes en âge de travailler constituent la toile de fond de la réflexion conduite. Le constat dressé est celui d’une jeunesse qui peine à trouver un emploi et, faute d’alternatives, est souvent amenée à occuper des emplois précaires dans le secteur de l’économie informelle.  Partant de ce constat, la recherche s’intéresse aux multiples réformes du système de la formation professionnelle engagées ces dernières années par les pouvoirs publics sénégalais pour relever ce défi démographique et renforcer l’employabilité des jeunes grâce à une meilleure adéquation entre les formations offertes par le système national de qualification et les besoins réels de l’économie. L’objectif est d’effectuer une monographie descriptive du secteur de la formation professionnelle sénégalais afin de contextualiser l’introduction du Partenariat Public Privé (PPP) comme modalité alternative de gestion de la formation professionnelle. La méthodologie utilisée est celle de la revue et de l’analyse documentaire. Ainsi l’attention se porte notamment sur la structuration du système national de formation professionnelle et sur la dernière réforme en date de 2015 qui promeut et expérimente le Partenariat Public Privé en tant que modèle de gestion alternatif au modèle de gestion publique de la formation professionnelle toujours en vigueur. Cette étude montre que si le PPP est promu par les autorités sénégalaises dans le secteur de la formation professionnelle, elle est loin d’avoir fait ses preuves et nécessiterait une évaluation de performance plus poussée.

Etymology. The replacement name is in honor of Nelson Cerqueira, a Brazilian dipterist who worked in the yellow fever campaigns coordinated by the Rockefeller Foundation and National Yellow Fever Service in Brazil. Along with Raymond Shannon, Nelson Cerqueira was one of the most active entomologists responsible for organizing the mosquito collection that resulted from those campaigns. The specimens used for the descriptions of Sa. shannoni (Lane & Cerqueira, 1942) (as a species of Wyeomyia) and Sa. harbachi are from that collection. Nelson Cerqueira described several new species of mosquitoes, including the one renamed herein.

description: The integration of LLM-generated feedback into educational settings has shown promise in enhancing student learning outcomes. This paper presents a novel LLM-driven system that provides targeted feedback for conceptual designs in a Database Systems course. The system converts student-created entity-relationship diagrams (ERDs) into JSON format, allows the student to prune the diagram by isolating a relationship, extracts relevant requirements for the selected relationship, and utilizes a large language model (LLM) to generate detailed feedback. Additionally, the system creates a tailored set of questions and answers to further aid student understanding. Our pilot implementation in a Database System course demonstrates effective feedback generation that helped the students improve their design skills.

Subjects: Control Remote work Experiment Crowding out

description: We conduct a field experiment with Amazon Mechanical Turk (“AMT”) workers to causally assess the effect of introducing a control mechanism in an existing work relationship on workers’ performance on tasks of varying difficulty. We find that introducing control significantly reduces performance. This reduction occurs pri- marily on challenging tasks, while performance on simple tasks is unaffected. The negative effects are primarily driven by workers who exhibit non-pecuniary moti- vation in the absence of control. Our results show that there are adverse effects of control, and they suggest that these adverse effects are of particular concern to firms that rely on high performance on challenging tasks.

description: Abstract:  Die Musikszene befindet sich kontinuierlich im Wandel, insbesondere durch die  Einführung der digitalen Produktionsmethoden, was eine grundlegende Veränderung der  Musikproduktion zur Folge hat. Vor dem Jahr 1990 war die Musikproduktion überwiegend  analog. Dies führte zu organischen und natürlichen Klangbildern. Im Gegensatz dazu ist  die heutige musikalische Produktion im Regelfall digital, welches als sauberes, jedoch  unnatürliches Klangbild wahrgenommen wird. In der Regel ist die Lösung für diese  Aufgabe die gezielte Erzeugung von harmonischen Obertönen, das sogenannte  Saturieren bzw. Sättigen oder auch Verzerren. Ein Werkzeug, um harmonische Obertöne  zu generieren, ist der Mikrofonvorverstärker, auch Mic-Preamp genannt. Seit der  Herstellung im Jahr 1970 in England nimmt der Neve 1073 eine prominente Stellung ein.  Der Neve 1073 basiert auf Transistoren und wurde von Rupert Neve entwickelt, der als  Visionär auf seinem Gebiet galt. Neves beispiellose Schaltung und Klangsignatur, die  auch als Neve-Sound bekannt ist, haben seit der Entwicklung einen unentbehrlichen Platz  in Tonstudios. In der heutigen Zeit besteht die Möglichkeit durch die Digital Audio  Workstation (DAW), analoge Effektgeräte als externe Effekte zu integrieren. Somit ist in  diesem Kontext der Neve 1073 das Bindeglied zwischen digitaler Arbeitsweise und  analoger Klangästhetik. Seit der Weiterentwicklung der digitalen Technologien und der  Entwicklung von Plugins stehen auch für den Neve 1073 digitale Lösungen und  Emulationen von den verschiedensten Herstellern zur Verfügung. Die Rolle dieser Plugins  ist identisch mit denen der analogen Vorbilder, die Erzeugung von harmonischen  Obertönen. In dieser Studienarbeit wird der Autor auf die Auswirkung des Neve 1073 auf  die zeitgenössische Tontechnik eingehen. Der Fokus liegt auf den technischen Aspekten  und klanglichen Eigenschaften des Neve 1073.

description: Clinical pathways are often promoted as the holy grail of efficient healthcare provision. However, our experiences during the Swiss research project Hospital of the Future demonstrated that most Swiss hospitals do not implement clinical pathways in the sense of '… a document describing the common process of a multidisciplinary treatment for a particular type of patient'. In this paper, we will discuss reasons for the lack of pathway implementations. We differentiate between three different categories of explanations: (i) organization-specific impediments, (ii) environmental hurdles, and (iii) inherent problems of clinical pathways. Without additional support and regulation by the policy maker, it seems rather unlikely that an increase of pathway implementations will take place in the near-future in Switzerland.

description: In my thesis, I propose a Graph Regularized-Attention-Based Diﬀusion Transformer (GRAD-T) model, which uses kernel temporal attention and a regularized sparse graph method to analyze model general diﬀusion processes over networks. The proposed model uses the spatiotemporal nature of data generated from diﬀusion processes over networks to examine phenomena that vary across diﬀerent locations and time, such as disease outbreaks, climate patterns, ecological changes, information flows, news contagion, transportation flows or information and sentiment contagion over social networks. The kernel attention models the temporal dependence of diﬀusion processes within locations, and the regularized spatial attention mechanism accounts for the spatial diﬀusion process. The proposed regularization using a combination of penalized matrix estimation and a resampling approach helps in modeling high-dimensional data from large graphical networks, and identify the dominant diﬀusion pathways. I use the model to predict how emotions spread across sparse networks. I applied the model to a unique dataset of COVID-19 tweets that I curated, spanning April to July 2020 across various U.S. locations. I used model parameters (attention measures) to create indices for comparing emotion diﬀusion potential within and between nodes. Our findings show that negative emotions like fear, anger, and disgust demonstrate substantial potential for temporal and spatial diﬀusion. Using the dataset and the proposed method we demonstrate that diﬀerent types of emotions exhibit diﬀerent patters of temporal and spatial diﬀusion. I show that the proposed model improves prediction accuracy of emotion diﬀusion over social medial networks over standard models such as LSTM and CNN methods. Our key contribution is the regularized graph transformer using a penalty and a resampling approach to enhance the robustness, interpretability, and scalability of sparse graph learning.

description: General Matrix Multiplication (GEMM) is a ubiquitous compute kernel in deep learning (DL). To support energy-efficient edge-native processing, new GEMM hardware units have been proposed that operate on unary encoded bitstreams using much simpler hardware. Most unary approaches thus far focus on rate-based unary encoding of values and perform stochastic approximate computation. This work presents tubGEMM, a novel matrix-multiply unit design that employs hybrid temporal-unary and binary (tub) encoding and performs exact (not approximate) GEMM. It intrinsically exploits dynamic value sparsity to improve energy efficiency. Compared to the current best unary design uGEMM, tubGEMM significantly reduces area, power, and energy by 89\%, 87\%, and 50\%, respectively. A tubGEMM design performing 128x128 matrix multiply on 8-bit integers, in commercial TSMC N5 (5nm) process node, consumes just 0.22 mm^2 die area, 417.72 mW power, and 8.86 uJ energy, assuming no sparsity. Typical sparsity in DL workloads (MobileNetv2, ResNet-50) reduces energy by more than 3x, and lowering precision to 4 and 2 bits further reduces it by 24x and 104x respectively.

description: To address the insufficiencies in the systemic research of calcium phosphate/alginate (ALG) microspheres for multi-drug delivery and bone formation, this study investigated the multi-drug release kinetics and osteogenic behaviors of β-tricalcium phosphate/ALG microspheres. The results showed that different loaded drugs exhibited an early burst release phenomenon, and the drug loading capacity decreased as the microsphere particle size decreased. In vitro cell proliferation and dead/live staining demonstrated that the microspheres had excellent cytocompatibility, and in vivo experiments demonstrated the microspheres’ exceptional ability to enhance bone regeneration.

description: HyperFactory is a project funded by the Valencian Institute for Business Competitiveness (IVACE) and the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER).

The project proposes a digitalization architecture in an industrial environment that allows working in the different segments of the "computing continuum" (Edge-Fog-Cloud), and that facilitates the sharing of information between different actors and the management of communications resources using software-defined industrial networks. HyperFactory will design and develop tools that act as enablers of a better, more efficient, and secure operation, covering aspects that go from data collection to the deployment of services in the computing continuum.

This document presents the motivation, context and development associated to the different tools developed in the work package 4, more precisely in tasks 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4. The goal of the first tool is to enable the federation of Radiatus instances, which enable the sharing of resources between different instances of the platform, facilitating the deployment of services in remote instances and enabling aspects such as external agents having computational resources in the company’s instances at factory (fog) or company (cloud) level. The second, the measurement of KPIs in Radiatus’ instances, is to increase the amount of monitoring information available to a user about those services that he deploys, either remotely or locally. Finally, the redirection of Kafka topics will facilitate the establishment of inter-company communication flows, guaranteeing isolation with intra-company flows and being ready to allow these flows, in a simple and intuitive way, while avoiding information leaks towards external agents.

description: While talent development and the contributing factors to success are hardly discussed among the experts in the field, the aim of the study was to investigate annual variation in competition performance (AVCP), number of races per year, and age, as potential success factors for international swimming competitions. Data from 40'277 long-course races, performed by all individual female starters (n = 253) at the 2018 European Swimming Championships (2018EC) for all 10 years prior to these championships, were analyzed. Relationships between 2018EC ranking and potential success factors, i.e., AVCP, number of races per year, and age, were determined using Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis. While AVCP was not related to ranking, higher ranked swimmers at the 2018EC swam more races during each of the ten years prior to the championships (P < 0.001). Additionally, older athletes were more successful (r = -0.42, P < 0.001). The regression model explained highly significant proportions (P < 0.001) and 43%, 34%, 35%, 49% of total variance in the 2018EC ranking for 50m, 100m, 200m, and 400m races, respectively. As number of races per year (β = -0.29 --0.40) had a significant effect on ranking of 50-400m races, and age (β = -0.40 --0.61) showed a significant effect on ranking over all race distances, number of races per year and age may serve as success factors for international swimming competitions. The larger number of races swum by higher ranked female swimmers may have aided long-term athlete development regarding technical, physiological, and mental skill acquisitions. As older athletes were more successful, female swimmers under the age of peak performance, who did not reach semi-finals or finals, may increase their chances of success in following championships with increased experience.

description: General matrix multiplication (GEMM) is a ubiquitous computing kernel/algorithm for data processing in diverse applications, including artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL). Recent shift towards edge computing has inspired GEMM architectures based on unary computing, which are predominantly stochastic and rate-coded systems. This paper proposes a novel GEMM architecture based on temporal-coding, called tuGEMM, that performs exact computation. We introduce two variants of tuGEMM, serial and parallel, with distinct area/power-latency trade-offs. Post-synthesis Power-Performance-Area (PPA) in 45 nm CMOS are reported for 2-bit, 4-bit, and 8-bit computations. The designs illustrate significant advantages in area-power efficiency over state-of-the-art stochastic unary systems especially at low precisions, e.g. incurring just 0.03 mm^2 and 9 mW for 4 bits, and 0.01 mm^2 and 4 mW for 2 bits. This makes tuGEMM ideal for power constrained mobile and edge devices performing always-on real-time sensory processing.

The transition from 4G to 5G has substantial implications for AI in consolidating a network predominantly geared towards business verticals. In this context, 3GPP has specified and introduced the Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF) entity at the network's core to provide insights based on AI algorithms to benefit network orchestration. This paper proposes a framework for evolving NWDAF that presents the interfaces necessary to further empower the core network with AI capabilities B5G and 6G. In addition, we identify a set of research directions for realizing a distributed e-NWDAF.
