Open Science Monitoring

description: PathOS (Open Science Impact Pathways) is a Horizon Europe project aiming to gather concrete evidence of the impacts of Open Science (OS). It seeks to understand the progression from input to output, outcome, and eventual impact, taking into account both enabling factors and critical barriers. The project centers its activities around six targeted case studies that will:

(a) drive the modelling of the pathways with all relevant elements of OS which can be measured both in terms of indicators for input and costs, and by making their connections

(b) support testing and operationalization of OS indicators (tools, data, flows) by providing access to data and experts who bring knowledge of the local environment, and

(c) provide input to a Cost Benefit Analysis framework and to validate project results

This poster will highlight the PathOS Impact Pathways, illustrating the project’s assessment and categorization of Open Science impacts. Each of the six case studies will be aligned with these pathways, showing diverse Open Science applications emphasizing how they enhance access to scientific information. Preliminary results will be presented through informative graphs, demonstrating the effectiveness of open access principles in various research contexts. This section will not only show quantitative metrics but also provide insights into how open access policies are being practically implemented in each case.

The second part of the poster will compare the PathOS findings with existing literature on Open Science, situating the project within a broader academic discourse. ‘Indicator bubbles’ for each case study will be included, highlighting specific Open Science impacts that will be examined. By doing so, the poster will illustrate how Open Science practices, as investigated in the PathOS project, are transforming research environments and learning modalities in academic settings.

By presenting tangible examples and insights derived from the PathOS methodological approach and real-life application of the case studies, we intend to showcase valuable perspectives on monitoring the impact of Open Science, thereby providing essential resources for research libraries committed to embracing and upholding Open Science principles and practices.

description: Compared with the two-component Camassa-Holm system, the modified two-component Camassa-Holm system introduces a regularized density which makes possible the existence of solutions of lower regularity, and in particular of multipeakon solutions. In this paper, we derive a new pointwise invariant for the modified two-component Camassa-Holm system. The derivation of the invariant uses directly the symmetry of the system, following the classical argument of Noether's theorem. The existence of the multipeakon solutions can be directly inferred from this pointwise invariant. This derivation shows the strong connection between symmetries and the existence of special solutions. The observation also holds for the scalar Camassa-Holm equation and, for comparison, we have also included the corresponding derivation. Finally, we compute explicitly the solutions obtained for the peakon-antipeakon case. We observe the existence of a periodic solution which has not been reported in the literature previously. This case shows the attractive effect that the introduction of an elastic potential can have on the solutions.

description: In this study, GO@Fe3O4 functionalized with ZnO and modified via chitosan (CS) was used with a simple procedure to eliminate doxorubicin hydrochloride (DXH) from aqueous solutions. To that end, crystalline, chemical, and magnetic properties of GO@Fe3O4@ZnO@CS nanocomposite were confirmed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), and X-ray diffraction spectrometry (XRD). The adsorption rate of DXH on the GO@Fe3O4@ZnO@CS nanocomposite was examined under various conditions including equilibrium time = 45 min, adsorbent dose = 0.01 g, solution pH = 7.0, temperature = 25 °C, and primary DXH concentration = 10 mg L−1. Adsorption of DXH was investigated from kinetic (i.e. pseudo first-order (PFO), pseudo second-order (PSO), and Elovich (E)) and equilibrium (i.e. Langmuir (L), Freundlich (F), Temkin (T) and Redlich-Peterson (R-P)) viewpoints. Results of the data analyses indicated the superb performance of GO@Fe3O4@ZnO@CS nanocomposite removing DXH from aqueous solutions. The short time of the adsorption process was another advantage of using this nanocomposite. The maximum adsorption capacity for DXH was obtained as 390 mg g−1.

description: The increased usage of the information technologies in everyday life and especially in education leads to demands for new forms of teaching, studying and appropriate examination and evaluation of acquired knowledge and skills of the students. Modern electronic educational systems use only those technologies that improve the learning process and make it more effective. The interactive education provides an opportunity to develop skills for independent literature research and activation of the cognitive activity. In this work, it is shown how a modern electronic education is implemented in the curriculum of English language pharmaceutical students at the Medical University - Plovdiv in the course of Information Technologies. It is developed a methodological approach of a hybrid system, i.e. a compulsory attendance at lectures in combination with two different types of conduction of the final test for comparison - a paper-based test and a remote web-based one. The results received from the parallel tests are processed and analysed and the conclusions are used to enhance the quality of the developed test and the type of implementation. Moreover, the examined students fill in an anonymous poll to show the authors their thoughts for this type of hybrid educational system.

description: The conventional methods of magnetic activated carbon preparation involved multiple steps and often result in poor removal performance. This work was aimed to evaluate the physicochemical and adsorptive properties of magnetic activated carbons produced via single-step preparation using zinc chloride/ferric chloride activation for rhodamine B removal. The materials were characterized for proximate and elemental composition, textural characteristics, surface chemistry, and magnetic properties. The magnetic activated carbon endows a specific surface area of 1775 m2/g with 93.8% mesoporosity, featured an excellent rhodamine B (RB) adsorption at 371 mg/g. The magnetic activated carbons prepared by conventional magnetization methods and non-magnetic activated carbon were also employed for comparison. The adsorption of RB is an endothermic and spontaneous process. The activation energy of 24.1–28.9 kJ/mol indicates that the process is physisorption. The magnetic activated carbon exhibits a higher recovery of 93.7% for three consecutive cycles at regeneration condition of 68.3 °C for 1 h. The findings demonstrate the practical views of a facile preparation of magnetic activated carbon in simplifying the separation in a fast and cost-effective manner for wastewater treatment.
How does classism can be detected in the sector of mobility? A suggested method
Creators: name: Wondratschek, Florian
Publisher: name: Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Umwelt Nürtingen-Geislingen
Year: 2022

description: The article is about the idea of social psychological methods for identifying classism as a behavior in the mobility sector. Classism should be exposed as a form of discrimination against people based on their social class. By analyzing behavior in the mobility sector, a questionnaire derived from discrimination research should determine whether classism is manifested and reproduced. The aim of the study is to expose such a behavior in order to develop measures to combat classism in the mobility sector for a more inclusive society.

Hydrodynamic ablation of protoplanetary disks via supernovae

description: We present three-dimensional simulations of a protoplanetary disk subject to the effect of a nearby (0.3pc distant) supernova, using a time-dependent flow from a one dimensional numerical model of the supernova remnant (SNR), in addition to constant peak ram pressure simulations. Simulations are performed for a variety of disk masses and inclination angles. We find disk mass-loss rates that are typically 1e-7 to 1e-6 Msol/yr (but peak near 1e-5 Msol/yr during the "instantaneous" stripping phase) and are sustained for around 200 yr. Inclination angle has little effect on the mass loss unless the disk is close to edge-on. Inclined disks also strip asymmetrically with the trailing edge ablating more easily. Since the interaction lasts less than one outer rotation period, there is not enough time for the disk to restore its symmetry, leaving the disk asymmetrical after the flow has passed. Of the low-mass disks considered, only the edge-on disk is able to survive interaction with the SNR (with 50% of its initial mass remaining). At the end of the simulations, disks that survive contain fractional masses of SN material up to 5e-6. This is too low to explain the abundance of short-lived radionuclides in the early solar system, but a larger disk and the inclusion of radiative cooling might allow the disk to capture a higher fraction of SN material.

description: The precise determination of subsurface thermal properties is critical for ground-source heating systems. The geomaterials are inherently heterogeneous, and their thermal conductivity measured in laboratory and field tests often exhibits anisotropic behaviours. However, the accurate measurement of thermal responses in geomaterials presents a challenging task due to the anisotropy’s variation with the observed scale. Hence, a numerical method is developed in this work and illustrated by taking a typical anisotropic structure of geomaterials with the porosity of 0.5 as an example. The differences in data from laboratory measurements and field tests are discussed to explore the scale effect on anisotropic thermal properties. A series of simulation tests are conducted on specimens with varying dimensions using the finite element method. Results indicate that the thermal properties show a substantial sensitivity to the observation scale, the variation of which decreases with the sample dimensions. By comparing in situ data and laboratory results, the values of average thermal conductivity and corresponding anisotropy ratio are lower than those at small scales, indicating that careful consideration should be given to the thermal properties to account for heterogeneity and anisotropy. In addition, four upscaling schemes based on the averaging method are discussed. This study sheds light on the gap between the laboratory results and the field’s inherent properties and provides guidelines for upscaling small-scale results to field-scale applications.

We analyze several thermodynamic quantities such as entropy and specific heat, and study the influence of vector interactions on the thermodynamic properties of quark matter. Upon imposing electric charge neutrality and baryon number conservation on the field equations, we compute models for the equation of state of the inner cores of proto-neutron stars providing a non-local treatment of quark matter for astrophysics.

description: The velocity profile in a water bridge is reanalyzed. Assuming hypothetically that the bulk charge has a radial distribution, a surface potential is formed that is analogous to the Zeta potential. The Navier Stokes equation is solved, neglecting the convective term; then, analytically and for special field and potential ranges, a sign change of the total mass flow is reported caused by the radial charge distribution.

description: Glass is an ideal material for optical applications, even though only a few micromachining technologies for material ablation are available. These microstructuring methods are limited regarding precision and freedom of design. A micromachining process for glass is laser induced deep etching (LIDE). Without generating micro-cracks, introducing stress, or other damages, it can precisely machine many types of glass. This work uses LIDE to subtractive manufacture structures in glass carrier substrates. Due to its transmission characteristics and refractive index, the glass substrate serves as optical cladding for polymer waveguides. In this paper, the described fabrication process can be divided into two sub-steps. The doctor blade technique and subsequent additive process step is used in manufacturing cavities with U-shaped cross-sections in glass in order to fill the trenches with liquid optical polymers, which are globally UV-cured. Based on the higher refractive index of the polymer, it enables optical waveguiding in the visible to near-infrared wavelength range. This novel, to the best of our knoowledge, manufacturing method is called LDB (LIDE-doctor-blade); it can be the missing link between long-distance transmissions and on-chip solutions on the packaging level. For validation, optical waveguides are examined regarding their geometrical dimensions, surface roughness, and waveguiding ability, such as intensity distribution and length-dependent attenuation.

description: Minimization of intra-operative opioid use is an area of ongoing research interest with several potential benefits to the patient. Pre-emptive analgesia, defined as the administration of an analgesic before surgery to prevent establishment of central sensitization of pain, is one avenue that has been explored to achieve this. A retrospective observational study was undertaken to examine the effect of pre-emptive paracetamol on intra-operative opioid requirements. The medical and operative data of 156 patients who underwent day-case wide local excision and sentinel lymph node biopsy with and without regional block surgery at our center between October 2019 and May 2022 was carried out. Data were collected on demographics, total intra-operative and immediate post-operative opioid consumption. 57 patients did not receive pre-emptive paracetamol while 90 did. Baseline characteristics were similar. Our results showed a statistically significant reduction in morphine (p <0.029) and remifentanil (p <0.007) consumption in patients who received a regional block and pre-emptive paracetamol. Those who did not receive a regional block and were given pre-emptive paracetamol had a decrease in OxyNorm (p <0.022) requirements. A combination of general anesthesia (GA), regional block and pre-emptive paracetamol reduced intra-operative consumption of Fentanyl, OxyNorm, diclofenac, dexketoprofen, and clonidine (P <0.001) when compared to just GA alone. Use of pre-emptive paracetamol in reduction of intra-operative opioid requirements showed promising results but larger studies may strengthen the evidence for this association. A multimodal analgesic approach that utilizes pre-emptive paracetamol can be a viable method to decrease intra-operative of analgesic requirements.

description: The ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is dedicated to heavy ion physics to explore the structure of strongly interacting matter. The Time Projection Chamber (TPC) of ALICE is a tracking detector located in the central region of the experiment. It offers excellent tracking capabilities as well as particle identification. After the second long shutdown (LS2) the LHC will run at substantially higher luminosities. To be able to increase the data acquisition rate by a factor of 100, the ALICE TPC experiment has to replace the Multi-Wire Proportional Chamber (MWPC) -based readout chambers. The MWPC are operated with gating grid that limits the rate to O(kHz). The new ReadOut Chamber (ROC) design is based on Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) technology operating in continuous mode. The current GEM productions scheme foresees the production of more than 800 GEM foils of different types. To fulfill the requirements on the performance of the GEM TPC readout, necessitates thorough Quality Assurance (QA) measures. The QA scheme, developed by the ALICE collaboration, will be presented in detail.

description: Health technology assessment (HTA) decisions for pharmaceuticals are complex and evolving. New rare disease treatments are often approved more quickly through accelerated approval schemes, creating more uncertainties about clinical evidence and budget impact at the time of market entry. The use of real-world evidence (RWE), including early coverage with evidence development, has been suggested as a means to support HTA decisions for rare disease treatments. However, the collection and use of RWE poses substantial challenges. These challenges are compounded when considered in the context of treatments for rare diseases. In this paper, we describe the methodological challenges to developing and using prospective and retrospective RWE for HTA decisions, for rare diseases in particular. We focus attention on key elements of study design and analyses, including patient selection and recruitment, appropriate adjustment for confounding and other sources of bias, outcome selection, and data quality monitoring. We conclude by offering suggestions to help address some of the most vexing challenges. The role of RWE in coverage and pricing determination will grow. It is, therefore, necessary for researchers, manufacturers, HTA agencies, and payers to ensure that rigorous and appropriate scientific principles are followed when using RWE as part of decision-making.

description: The Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) aims to detect extensive air showers caused by the interactions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays with the Earth's atmosphere, providing complementary information to the Auger surface, fluorescence and muon detectors. AERA, currently consisting of 124 radio stations, comprises an area of about 6 km$^{2}$. The main objective for exploiting a radio detector is to measure the fundamental air-shower parameters, such as the direction, energy and composition. We have developed reconstruction strategies and algorithms to precisely measure the air-shower parameters with high efficiency. In addition, we will present the results obtained by applying the reconstruction strategies on the experimental data taken by AERA.

description: In this study, we synthesized and characterized (UV–vis, XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, and AFM) Trewia nudiflora-assisted silver nanoparticles (Tn-AgNPs). The toxicity of T. nudiflora leaf aqueous extract and Tn-AgNPs was tested against Anopheles stephensi, Aedes aegypti, and Culex quinquefasciatus larvae and its LC50 values were 121.82/16.69, 130.51/18.11, and 142.38/19.53 μg mL–1, respectively. Moreover, the biotoxicity was analyzed against the aquatic non-target fauna Anisops bouvieri, Diplonychus indicus, and Gambusia affinis. The LC50 values of non-target fauna were 1064.66–26,537.05 μg mL–1. Thus, the Tn-AgNPs significantly controlled the mosquito larvae with less toxic effects on aquatic non-target fauna.

description: The oceans are undergoing rapid alterations due to human activities, making it crucial to predict how ecosystem shifts will affect marine predators. Short-term indicators of the fitness consequences of a changing environment, such as individual foraging performance, are essential to guide timely conservation measures but there is a dearth of methods for quantifying the individual foraging strategies and efficiency of aquatic animals. This thesis documents the development of three innovative multi-sensor biologging devices and explores their application to uncover the foraging performance of Southern Ocean predators. A tag containing wide-bandwidth light and movement sensors was developed to measure anti-predator bioluminescent signals emitted by prey as they are hunted by southern elephant seals. Results indicate that some seals target large aggregations of bioluminescent prey, but inter-individual variability is wide. The need for details on the prey size, quality and ease of capture prompted the development of a miniature sonar and movement tag to study both the biotic environment of marine predators and their feeding interactions. Using proxies for prey type, behaviour and capture success, I identified prey types associated with differing rates of body condition improvement in southern elephant seals, providing evidence in marine predators that individual prey selection strategies are linked with longer-term energy gains. A miniature sound and movement tag was developed to record foraging and provisioning behaviour of macaroni penguins and to examine how performance in daily feeding trips influenced subsequent chick provisioning. Using the same device, I combined proxies for swimming speed, posture and foraging activity to infer prey types in the Antarctic fur seal and explored individual foraging performance in years of contrasting prey availability. These new methods are applicable to a range of marine predators while the ecological results provide key information to help predict population trajectories under changing climate and fisheries scenarios.

description: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were investigated in the outdoor air of charcoal-grilled meat-restaurants in Amman/Jordan. The studied restaurants were given the codes (S, Z, G, B, and J). PAHs were extracted using QuEChERS method and detected using GC/MS. They were found in almost all samples. Levels of PAHs in the stacks were found to depend on major factors like type and quantity of charcoal used, the amount of grilled meat after marinating, and sampling season. The results showed that PAHs concentrations in toxic equivalents (TEQs) in (ng TEQ/m3) were found in the following order: S restaurant (158) > B (114) > J (47) > G (20) > Z (15). The total emissions of PAHs in (g TEQ/year) for all restaurants samples were in the following order: S restaurant (16.5) > B (5.8) > J (1.8) > G (0.3) > Z (0.2) with B(a)P detected in restaurants S and B. This study is the first of its kind in the MENA region and provides alarming results about using charcoal for grilling where food and air contamination is unavoidable. Lowering consumption of grilled food is advisable in addition to the use of air filters for chimneys.

description: Purpose: 3D cell culture and hypoxia have been demonstrated to increase the therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs). In this study, a process for the production of MSC-EVs in a novel 3D bioreactor system under normoxic and hypoxic conditions was established and the resulting EVs were characterized. Methods: Human adipose-derived MSCs were seeded and cultured on a 3D membrane in the VITVO® bioreactor system for 7 days. Afterwards, MSC-EVs were isolated and characterized via fluorescence nanoparticle tracking analysis, flow cytometry with staining against annexin V (Anx5) as a marker for EVs exposing phosphatidylserine, as well as CD73 and CD90 as MSC surface markers. Results: Cultivation of MSC in the VITVO® bioreactor system demonstrated a higher concentration of MSC-EVs from the 3D bioreactor (9.1 × 109 ± 1.5 × 109 and 9.7 × 109 ± 3.1 × 109 particles/mL) compared to static 2D culture (4.2 × 109 ± 7.5 × 108 and 3.9 × 109 ± 3.0 × 108 particles/mL) under normoxic and hypoxic conditions, respectively. Also, the particle-to-protein ratio as a measure for the purity of EVs increased from 3.3 × 107 ± 1.1 × 107 particles/µg protein in 2D to 1.6 × 108 ± 8.3 × 106 particles/µg protein in 3D. Total MSC-EVs as well as CD73−CD90+ MSC-EVs were elevated in 2D normoxic conditions. The EV concentration and size did not differ significantly between normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Conclusion: The production of MSC-EVs in a 3D bioreactor system under hypoxic conditions resulted in increased EV concentration and purity. This system could be especially useful in screening culture conditions for the production of 3D-derived MSC-EVs.

description: A high order wavelet integral collocation method (WICM) is developed for general nonlinear boundary value problems in physics. This method is established based on Coiflet approximation of multiple integrals of interval bounded functions combined with an accurate and adjustable boundary extension technique. The convergence order of this approximation has been proven to be N as long as the Coiflet with N-1 vanishing moment is adopted, which can be any positive even integers. Before the conventional collocation method is applied to the general problems, the original differential equation is changed into its equivalent form by denoting derivatives of the unknown function as new functions and constructing relations between the low and high order derivatives. For the linear cases, error analysis has proven that the proposed WICM is order N, and condition numbers of relevant matrices are almost independent of the number of collocation points. Numerical examples of a wide range of nonlinear differential equations in physics demonstrate that accuracy of the proposed WICM is even greater than N, and most interestingly, such accuracy is independent of the order of the differential equation to be solved. Comparison to existing numerical methods further justifies the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method.
