description: The recent success of large language models (LLMs) has shown great potential to develop more powerful conversational recommender systems (CRSs), which rely on natural language conversations to satisfy user needs. In this paper, we embark on an investigation into the utilization of ChatGPT for conversational recommendation, revealing the inadequacy of the existing evaluation protocol. It might over-emphasize the matching with the ground-truth items or utterances generated by human annotators, while neglecting the interactive nature of being a capable CRS. To overcome the limitation, we further propose an interactive Evaluation approach based on LLMs named iEvaLM that harnesses LLM-based user simulators. Our evaluation approach can simulate various interaction scenarios between users and systems. Through the experiments on two publicly available CRS datasets, we demonstrate notable improvements compared to the prevailing evaluation protocol. Furthermore, we emphasize the evaluation of explainability, and ChatGPT showcases persuasive explanation generation for its recommendations. Our study contributes to a deeper comprehension of the untapped potential of LLMs for CRSs and provides a more flexible and easy-to-use evaluation framework for future research endeavors. The codes and data are publicly available at https://github.com/RUCAIBox/iEvaLM-CRS.

description: In una realtà educativa particolarmente complessa, la necessità di reinventare il ruolo e le funzioni del docente diventa qualcosa di imprescindibile che nasce dalla consapevolezza che le sole conoscenze teoriche e tecniche non bastano, se non sono accompagnate da abilità di carattere emotivo e relazionale.
È quindi fondamentale prevedere percorsi e laboratori ad hoc al fine di sviluppare l’Intelligenza Emotiva e sostenere strategie e competenze specifiche che permettano agli insegnanti di incrementare il livello di competenze comunicativo-emotivo-relazionale, di vivere serenamente il proprio lavoro, di essere un modello educativo valido per i propri alunni e di accrescere il loro adattamento sociale e scolastico. 
Lavorare su queste competenze risulta fondamentale anche per la costruzione di un clima positivo e inclusivo volto alla valorizzazione della diversità: difatti, la dimensione emotiva-relazionale può fungere da aiuto o da barriera all’inclusione.

In a particularly complex educational reality, the need to reinvent the role and functions of the teacher becomes something unavoidable that stems from the awareness that theoretical and technical knowledge alone is not enough if it is not accompanied by emotional and relational skills.
It is therefore essential to provide ad hoc paths and workshops in order to develop Emotional Intelligence and support specific strategies and skills that enable teachers to increase the level of communicative-emotional-relational skills, to live their work serenely, to be a valid educational model for their pupils and to increase their social and school adaptation. 
Working on these skills is also crucial for building a positive and inclusive climate aimed at valuing diversity: in fact, the emotional-relational dimension can act as an aid or a barrier to inclusion.

description: Der Beitrag fragt nach dem Ertrag soziologischer Zeitdiagnostik für die Theorieproduktion der Sozialen Arbeit. In den individualisierungsinduzierten Herausforderungen, die die späte Moderne für Heranwachsende mit sich bringt wird deutlich, dass es einer konzertierten Aktion aller am Bildungsprozess Beteiligten bedarf. Beispielhaft wird in den non-formalen und informellen Bildungsprozessen außerschulischer Jugend (bildungs) arbeit aufgezeigt, wie hier ein subjektorientierter Ansatz der Jugendbildung die für die Bewältigung der Herausforderungen nötigen Kompetenzen vermitteln kann.

L’articolo esamina il rendimento della diagnostica sociologica del tempo per la produzione delle teorie del lavoro sociale. Nelle sfide indotte dall’individualizzazione che la tarda modernità porta con sé per gli adolescenti, diventa chiaro che è necessaria un’azione concertata da parte di tutti coloro che sono coinvolti nel processo educativo. I processi educativi non formali e informali del lavoro (educativo) giovanile extrascolastico sono un esempio di come un approccio all’educazione giovanile orientato al soggetto possa impartire le competenze necessarie per superare queste sfide.

title: Konzepte von Audio-Visualität in den Arbeiten von Renate Kowanz-Kocer
Creators: name: Hubin, Andrea
Year: 2008

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Frühwerk der österreichischen Künstlerin Renate Kowanz-Kocer. Schwerpunktmäßig werden dabei an Hand von vier Werken aus den Jahren 1978 und 1979 die Konzepte zur Herstellung von Audio-Visualität erörtert. Die besprochenen Arbeiten umfassen Installationen, Performances, Filme und Videos, deren reduzierte Strukturen – dem Forschergeist der Zeit entsprechend – Versuchsanordnungen inszenieren, in denen visuelle und auditive Sinneseindrücke eine unmittelbare Verknüpfung erfahren. Durch den Einsatz des eigenen Körpers und verschiedener audiovisueller Technologien entwirft Renate KOWANZ-KOCER mediale Repräsentationen, in denen Bild und Ton in gegenseitiger Abhängigkeit generiert werden. Die Diplomarbeit beginnt mit einer ausführlichen Einführung zum Kunstkontext der Jahre rund um 1979, der die spezielle Erörterung von Bild-Ton-Zusammenhängen anregt. Mit zahlreichen Querverweisen auf Projekte österreichischer und internationaler Künstler/innen wird eine Herleitung der Ausgangsfragen der in Folge besprochenen Werkstücke versucht. Den Kernteil der vorliegenden Überlegungen bilden dichte Werkanalysen der Arbeiten Akustisch-Optische Aufzeichnungen (1978), Ohne Titel (1979), Eine Bewegung (1979), Sound-Installation (1979) und Entlastungsgerinne (1978). Besprochen wird, wie in Film und Video Körperbewegungen und Gesten Klang/Bild-Räume generieren und wie in Foto-Audio-Installationen Fieldrecordings von Geräuschen der wenige Jahre zuvor aufgeschütteten Donauinsel mit fotografischen Aufzeichnungen gegengelesen werden bzw. Performancedokumentationen zu Kartografien eines mittels Mikrophon abgetasteten Galerieraums werden.

description: Expression Atlas (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/gxa) is a database and web-service at EMBL-EBI that curates, re-analyses and displays gene expression data across species and biological conditions such as different tissues, cell types, developmental stages and diseases among others. Currently, it provides gene expression results on more than 3,000 experiments (based on microarray and RNA-sequencing) from 40 different organisms, including metazoans and plants. Expression profiles of tissues from Human Protein Atlas, GTEx and FANTOM5, and of cancer cell lines from ENCODE, CCLE and Genentech datasets can be explored in Expression Atlas. All experiments within Expression Atlas are manually curated to accurately represent gene expression data, and annotated to Experimental Factor Ontology (EFO) terms. The use of EFO annotations allows efficient search via ontology-driven query expansion and facilitates data integration. All RNA-sequencing experiments are analysed in a uniform way using iRAP, our standardised pipeline. It is possible to search and download datasets into R for further analysis via the R package ‘ExpressionAtlas’.

Expression Atlas visualises gene expression results using heatmaps showing gene expression levels across different biological conditions. Novel analysis and visualisations include: exploration of gene co-expression across tissues, cell lines or other conditions within a baseline experiment and enrichment analysis of user provided sets of genes in a given organism against differentially expressed genes in all available comparisons.

Finally, our baseline gene expression results in different tissues are integrated within other specialised resources to contribute to the understanding of pathways (Reactome, http://www.reactome.org/) and disease targets (Target Validation Platform by Open Targets, https://www.opentargets.org/).
Constructing and evaluating machine-learned interatomic potentials for Li-based disordered rocksalts

description: Lithium-based disordered rocksalts (LDRs), which are an important class of cathodes for advanced Li-ion batteries, represent a complex chemical and configurational space for conventional density functional theory (DFT)-based high-throughput screening approaches. Notably, atom-centered machine-learned interatomic potentials (MLIPs) are a promising pathway to accurately model the potential energy surface of highly-disordered systems, such as LDRs, where the performance of such MLIPs have not been rigorously explored yet. Here, we represent a comprehensive evaluation of the accuracy, transferability, and ease of training of five MLIPs in modelling LDRs, including artificial neural network potential developed by the atomic energy network (AENET), Gaussian approximation potential (GAP), spectral neighbor analysis potential (SNAP) and its quadratic extension (qSNAP), and moment tensor potential (MTP). Specifically, we generate a DFT-calculated dataset of 10842 disordered LiTMO$_2$ and TMO$_2$ configurations, where TM = Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and/or Cu. Importantly, we find AENET to be the best in terms of accuracy and transferability for energy predictions, while MTP is the best for atomic forces. While AENET is the fastest to train at low number of epochs, the training time increases significantly as epochs increase, with a corresponding reduction in training errors. Note that AENET and GAP tend to overfit in small datasets, with the extent of overfitting reducing with larger datasets. Finally, we observe AENET to provide reasonable predictions of average Li-intercalation voltages in layered, single-TM LiTMO$_2$ frameworks, compared to DFT ($\sim$10% error on average). Our study should pave the way both for discovering novel LDR electrodes and for modelling other configurationally complex systems, such as high-entropy ceramics and alloys.

MEMNAR: finding mutually exclusive mutation sets through negative association rule mining

Year: 2017

description: It has been reported in multiple cancers that certain set of gene mutations tend not to occur concurrently in the same patient. This mutual exclusivity pattern hints at a functional relation and can help uncover cancer-driver alterations. We address the problem of discovering mutually exclusive mutation gene sets through mining negative association rules. Our proposed algorithm, MEMNAR, efficiently mines for negative association rules in patient mutation data and constructs mutually exclusive gene sets based on these extracted rules with high accuracy. We also define and detect more complex mutual exclusivity patterns that have not been addressed in earlier approaches. Evaluations on simulated data sets demonstrate that MEMNAR can discover mutual exclusive gene sets faster with improved accuracy compared to the state-of-the-art methods. When we apply MEMNAR on breast cancer, we identify several mutually exclusive gene sets that are biologically relevant and some of which have not been reported in the literature.

description: We realize arbitrary waveform-based control of spin-selective recombination reactions of radical pairs in the low magnetic field regime. To this end, we extend the Gradient Ascent Pulse Engineering (GRAPE) paradigm to allow for optimizing reaction yields. This overcomes drawbacks of previously suggested time-local optimization approaches for the reaction control of radical pairs, which were limited to high biasing fields. We demonstrate how efficient time-global optimization of the recombination yields can be realized by gradient based methods augmented by time-blocking, sparse sampling of the yield, and evaluation of the central single time-step propagators and their Fréchet derivatives using iterated Trotter-Suzuki splittings. Results are shown for both a toy model, previously used to demonstrate coherent control of radical pair reactions in the simpler high-field scenario, and furthermore for a realistic exciplex-forming donor-acceptor system comprising 16 nuclear spins. This raises prospects for the spin-control of actual radical pair systems in ambient magnetic fields, by suppressing or boosting radical reaction yields using purpose-specific radio-frequency waveforms, paving the way for reaction-yield-dependent quantum magnetometry and potentially applications of quantum control to biochemical radical pair reactions. We demonstrate the latter aspect for two radical pairs implicated in quantum biology.

description: Protein structures have been in the focus of structural biology research for decades. The study of their interactions with other smaller molecules (known as ligands) helps to reveal the fundamentals of biochemical processes that are taking place in living cells. Such reaction between a protein and a ligand often takes place deep inside the protein structure. In this paper, we present a novel visualization method for interactive exploration of protein tunnels, which connect the protein surface with deeply buried reaction sites. The tunnel geometry together with biochemical properties of surrounding amino acids and their changes over time determine whether a ligand can pass through the tunnel and reach the reaction site. The proposed visualization abstracts from the common 3D tunnel representation. The complex geometry of a tunnel is simplified by straightening the tunnel and depicting only its width profile and its changes over time. This frees up the visual space and allows the expert to directly depict the key physico-chemical properties of individual amino acids surrounding the tunnel in a single view. In our representation, each amino acid is depicted as a set of colored lines showing the spatial and temporal impact of the amino acid on the tunnel. The vertical ordering communicates the importance of amino acids with respect to selected criteria. It helps biochemists to select the most interesting candidates for further examination. The representation was developed in tight collaboration with domain experts and their feedback is presented on case studies.

description: In a state-space framework, temporal variations in fishery-dependent processes can be modeled as random effects. This modeling flexibility makes state-space models (SSMs) powerful tools for data-limited assessments. Though SSMs enable the model-based inference of the unobserved processes, their flexibility can lead to overfitting and non-identifiability issues. To address these challenges, we developed a suite of state-space length-based age-structured models and applied them to the Korean chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) stock. Our research demonstrated that incorporating temporal variations in fishery-dependent processes can rectify model mis-specification but may compromise robustness, which can be diagnosed through a series of model checking processes. To tackle non-identifiability, we used a non-degenerate estimator, implementing a gamma distribution as a penalty for the standard deviation parameters of observation errors. This penalty function enabled the simultaneous estimation of both process and observation error variances with minimal bias, a notably challenging task in SSMs. These results highlight the importance of model checking and the effectiveness of the penalized approach in estimating SSMs. Additionally, we discussed novel assessment outcomes for the mackerel stock.

"A Lot of People are Being Locked Up Because a Lot of People are Numbing Themselves": Rape Culture in the Lives of Incarcerated Women in Washington, D.C.
Creators: name: Irvine, Mahri Anderson
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In this dissertation, I explore the concept of "rape culture" in the United States, examining how different types of violence within such a culture impacted the lives of twenty-three formerly and currently incarcerated women in Washington, D.C. After conducting thirty months of data collection at a prison reentry organization in Washington D.C., including participant-observation, forty-four interviews with research participants, and a focus group with prison reentry staff members, I engaged in qualitative data analysis to provide evidence for my assertions that currently and formerly incarcerated women were both "offenders" and "victims" of various forms of violence and inequalities. By examining these blurred lines between my research participants' identities as offenders and victims, I suggest that many of these women became involved in criminalized activities specifically because they were trying to cope with or recover from sexual victimization. I theorize and explore the concept of "rape culture," arguing that such a culture has three different forms of interconnected violence that overlap within the lives of survivors of sexual violence. I define, identify, and examine each type of violence in my research participants' lives, concluding that these three forms of violence profoundly impacted the women's lives before, during, and after incarceration. In conclusion, I offer a series of recommendations for prison policy reform and broad legal system reform based on suggestions made by my research participants.

Fast formation of large ice pebbles after FU Orionis outbursts
Creators: name: Ros, Katrin

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: During their formation, nascent planetary systems are subject to FU Orionis outbursts that heat a substantial part of the disc. This causes water ice in the affected part of the disc to sublimate as the ice line moves outwards to several to tens of astronomical units. In this paper, we investigate how the subsequent cooling of the disc impacts the particle sizes. We calculate the resulting particle sizes in a disc model with cooling times between 100 and 1,000 years, corresponding to typical FU Orionis outbursts. As the disc cools and the ice line retreats inwards, water vapour forms icy mantles on existing silicate particles. This process is called heterogeneous nucleation. The nucleation rate per surface area of silicate substrate strongly depends on the degree of super-saturation of the water vapour in the gas. Fast cooling results in high super-saturation levels, high nucleation rates, and limited condensation growth because the main ice budget is spent in the nucleation. Slow cooling, on the other hand, leads to rare ice nucleation and efficient growth of ice-nucleated particles by subsequent condensation. We demonstrate that close to the quiescent ice line, pebbles with a size of about centimetres to decimetres form by this process. The largest of these are expected to undergo cracking collisions. However, their Stokes numbers still reach values that are high enough to potentially trigger planetesimal formation by the streaming instability if the background turbulence is weak. Stellar outbursts may thus promote planetesimal formation around the water ice line in protoplanetary discs.

description: Die Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) schätzt, dass in den Industrieländern 20% aller Erkrankungen psychiatrische Störungen sind und dass dieser Anteil weiter stark steigen wird. Psychische Erkrankungen gehen meist mit einer großen Bandbreite an Beeinträchtigungen und Einschränkungen einher. Nicht nur die Krankheitssymptome, sondern auch ein Stigmatisierung und Diskriminierung sowie ein erschwerter Zugang zu Beruf, Partnerschaft, Wohnung, Freizeitaktivitäten und sozialen Netzen beeinträchtigen die Lebensqualität der Betroffenen nachhaltig. (Weltgesundheitsorganisation, 2001) So sind in Europa für rund 45% aller „years lived with disability“ psychische Erkrankungen verantwortlich, im Besonderen Schizophrenie, affektive Erkrankungen und Alkoholabhängigkeit. (vgl. Schwappach 2007: 20) Die Stigmaforschung hat in den vergangenen Jahren stark zugenommen und es wurden neue Konzepte zur Erfassung dieses Phänomens entwickelt. Im Stigmakonzept nach Bruce Link und Jo Phelan, das auf Arbeiten von Erving Goffman, Thomas Scheff und anderen aufbaut, besteht Stigmatisierung in der Wahrnehmung und Etikettierung von Unterschieden, deren Verknüpfung mit negativen Attributen und in einer Ausgrenzung durch eine Unterscheidung zwischen „wir“ und „die“ in Verbindung mit Statusverlust und Diskriminierung. Die Stigmatisierung wird dann schlagend, wenn es ein Machtgefälle zwischen Stigmatisierenden und Stigmatisierten gibt. Menschen mit psychischen Erkrankungen erfahren aufgrund der Verknüpfung des Etiketts „psychisch krank“ mit einer Vielzahl von negativen Eigenschaften in den verschiedensten Lebensbereichen Diskriminierung, v.a. in interpersonellen Interaktionen, durch das Bild psychisch Erkrankter in der Öffentlichkeit, durch die Limitierung des Zugangs zu bestimmten sozialen Rollen und durch strukturelle Benachteiligungen. Die Einschränkung der Lebensqualität psychisch erkrankter Menschen durch Stigmatisierung ist dermaßen ausgeprägt, dass man von einer „zweiten Erkrankung“ sprechen kann. (vgl. Finzen 2000). Mit zahlreichen Projekten wird versucht der Stigmatisierung und ihren Auswirkungen entgegenzuwirken, indem man gezielt an bestimmten Punkten des Stigmaprozesses ansetzt, um ihn zu durchbrechen. Exemplarisch wurde ein Informationsprojekt für Schülerinnen und Schüler der 11. und 12 Schulstufe vorgestellt, bei dem auch selbst von einer psychischen Erkrankung betroffene Personen mitgearbeitet haben. Bei der Evaluation zu diesem Projekt wurde deutlich, dass nachhaltig ein Abbau der sozialen Distanz und der Annahme Menschen mit psychischen Erkrankungen seien gefährlich, erreicht werden konnte. Zahlreiche Projekte zum Abbau der Stigmatisierung psychisch Erkrankter, aber auch der Selbststigmatisierung der Betroffenen, sind noch nötig, um die Auswirkungen dieser „zweiten Erkrankung“ einzudämmen.

description: Long-term government and stakeholder inertia has contributed to the quiet and neglected nature of chronic Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The hepatitis C virus (HCV), discovered in 1988, has attracted the attention of numerous research groups worldwide. A comparative study was conducted in Anambra State to diagnose blood donors with hepatitis C virus using the Acumen antibody strip and the Genedrive molecular platform. A significant fraction of chronic viral hepatitides is caused by this widely distributed infectious pathogen. The comprehensive knowledge of the virus's structure, reproduction process, and precise roles for different proteins may hold the key to stopping the hepatitis C pandemic. A potential vaccine and novel antivirals directed against the hepatitis C virus could be made possible by this insight. Fifteen years after its discovery, the current understanding of the HCV genome is summarized in this paper. Described are the specific viral structural (core, E1, E2) and nonstructural (NS2, NS3, NS4, NS5) proteins and noncoding sections that are currently known to exist, along with their functions. Results that can be consistently verified by independent researchers are prioritized in light of the numerous contradictory reports from various study groups. Due to several challenges and restrictions associated with studying this remarkable virus, the existing understanding is insufficient, and the solutions to numerous significant issues are predictable.

description: Esta proposta de pesquisa tem a finalidade de estudar analitica e numericamente

o modelo SIRS baseado em agentes em redes complexas, com adição de dinâmicas

estocásticas de um corpo. O modelo epidemiológico SIRS descreve a propagação de

uma doença comunicável por indivíduos numa população e contempla mecanismos de

transmissão de patógeno, cura e desenvolvimento de imunidade parcial da população

sobre os sintomas da doença. Devido aos grandes avanços computacionais e teóricos

na análise de modelos epidemiológicos baseados em agentes, o papel de efeitos

estocásticos na disseminação de doenças comunicáveis têm sido revisados. Dentre

os efeitos estocásticos relevantes, encontram-se os efeitos de um corpo, tradicionalmente

negligenciados mas muito significantes no contexto de redes complexas. Nesse

efeito, alguns poucos agentes possuem maior significância que os demais membros da

população, tornando-os pontos focais de disseminação de doenças.

description: The use of directly modulated lasers (DMLs) is attractive in low-power, cost-constrained short-reach optical links. However, their limited modulation bandwidth can induce waveform distortion, undermining their data throughput. Traditional distortion mitigation techniques have relied mainly on the separate training of transmitter-side pre-distortion and receiver-side equalization. This approach overlooks the potential gains obtained by simultaneous optimization of transmitter (constellation and pulse shaping) and receiver (equalization and symbol demapping). Moreover, in the context of DML operation, the choice of laser-driving configuration parameters such as the bias current and peak-to-peak modulation current has a significant impact on system performance. We propose a novel end-to-end optimization approach for DML systems, incorporating the learning of bias and peak-to-peak modulation current to the optimization of constellation points, pulse shaping and equalization. The simulation of the DML dynamics is based on the use of the laser rate equations at symbol rates between 15 and 25 Gbaud. The resulting output sequences from the rate equations are used to build a differentiable data-driven model, simplifying the calculation of gradients needed for end-to-end optimization. The proposed end-to-end approach is compared to 3 additional benchmark approaches: the uncompensated system without equalization, a receiver-side finite impulse response equalization approach and an end-to-end approach with learnable pulse shape and nonlinear Volterra equalization but fixed bias and peak-to-peak modulation current. The numerical simulations on the four approaches show that the joint optimization of bias, peak-to-peak current, constellation points, pulse shaping and equalization outperforms all other approaches throughout the tested symbol rates.
