Competencies for Sustainability
GreenComp
EduCITY

description: This questionnaire (Portuguese version) was developed on the basis of the GreenComp framework (Bianchi et al., 2022), with a particular emphasis on the concept of 'Valuing Sustainability'. In order to guarantee both the validity and the usability of the questionnaire, a rigorous methodology was employed. The process included consultations with experts, software-driven analysis and randomisation to reduce bias, thereby enhancing the reliability of the questionnaire in a variety of educational contexts. A significant innovation was the utilisation of a 6-point Likert scale, which prompted respondents to provide definitive answers, thereby facilitating a more nuanced perception of sustainability competencies. The resulting tool was designed for wide application in sustainability education, drawing on a synthesis of literature and expert input to address the complexities of sustainability competencies in a comprehensive manner. This tool was developed as part of the EduCITY project, and a detailed account of its development process is provided in a series of three papers:

i) Designing a Sustainability Competencies Questionnaire: Insights from a Systematic Literature Review;

ii) [under revision];

and, iii) [under revision].

In addition to the development of the aforementioned questionnaire, an Excel-based tool (Excel-based analytical tool for GreenComp-based Competencies Questionnaire (GCQuest)) was also created. This tool is designed to facilitate the automatic processing and visualisation of the data collected.

description: The inherent irreversibility of quantum dynamics for open systems poses a significant barrier to the inversion of unknown quantum processes. To tackle this challenge, we propose the framework of virtual combs that exploit the unknown process iteratively with additional classical post-processing to simulate the process inverse. Notably, we demonstrate that an $n$-slot virtual comb can exactly reverse a depolarizing channel with one unknown noise parameter out of $n+1$ potential candidates, and a 1-slot virtual comb can exactly reverse an arbitrary pair of quantum channels. We further explore the approximate inversion of an unknown channel within a given channel set. A worst-case error decay of $\mathcal{O}(n^{-1})$ is unveiled for depolarizing channels within a specified noise region. Moreover, we show that virtual combs can universally reverse unitary operations and investigate the trade-off between the slot number and the sampling overhead.

description: Morphometrics penetrates most of modern organismal biology. Be it the shape of a flower or the size of a fin – as systematists, we always need to quantify the phenotype. This hands-on morphometrics workshop gave an overview on the topic and let participants work with current analytical tools, in particular Multivariate Ratio Analysis (MRA) using R and MorphoJ.

Here I offer some documents used in the workshop for download. Of special interest might be the R-tutorials (Documents 1a-c, 2) that were used to perform the Shape PCA or the LDA Ratio Extractor from a set of distance measurements. In order to run the files on your computer it is necessary to download two source files with MRA functions from Baur and Leuenberger (2020). You also need a dataset of human body measurements, which you get from here. For best results, put the R-scripts together with the data file in the same directory. Then start R-Studio (or any other IDE) by clicking on one of the tutorials. This ensures that R will know the path to source and data files.

Geometric morphometrics (GM) of landmark data was the other main topic of the workshop. Hence, I include a few additional slides demonstrating the (unpublished) analysis of shells in Cochlostoma snails using MorphoJ (Documents 3a, b). It is interesting to compare the GM result with the MRA of distance measurements by Reichenbach et al. (2012). The data from the latter study might be obtained from Reichenbach et al. (2020).

Concerning GM you should definitively also checkout the work of Christian Klingenberg in the bibliography below, in particular his papers on 'Visualization' (2013) and - brand new - 'Walking on Kendall's Shape Space' (2020). Christian has the rare gift to translate a mathematically complex topic into a beach read.

Finally you may find the References section below useful, where I have put a comprehensive list of books and papers mentioned in the course.

This online workshop was organized by the Swiss Systematics Society (SSS). I am grateful to the president of the SSS, Dr. Seraina Klopfstein (Natural History Museum Basel), for the kind invitation and invaluable assistance during the course.

Publisher: name: continental
Year: 2024
Subjects: Interactive Justice, Employee Commitment, Affective Commitment, Normative Commitment, Continuance Commitment and Manufacturing Firms.

description: The objective of the study was to examine the impact of interactive justice on employees’ commitment, with focus on manufacturing firms in Rivers State. The study evaluates interactive justice as the dimension while the measures of employee commitment analyzed, are affective, normative, and continuance commitment. The explanatory cross-sectional survey research design was adopted for this study. The population of the study consists of nineteen (19) registered manufacturing firms in Rivers State. For the purpose of fairness across the various firms the study adopted random sampling technique in which 10 employees were selected across the various 19 manufacturing firms which gave us a total of 190 respondents. The study adopted a primary source of data. Questionnaires were used to collect data from managers of the manufacturing firms in Rivers State. Structured questionnaire was used as instrument for data collection. The research instrument was called “Interactive Justice questionnaire and Employee Commitment. Cronbach alpha was used to test the internal consistency of the instrument that was used for the study. The Cronbach's Alpha value is .877 indicating that the items are reliable hence they were accepted. The data collected from the administration of the instrument on the respondents were hand scored and entered on frequency tables in excel and exported to SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences. The Mean and standard deviations were used to analyses the research variables. Hypotheses were tested using Pearson’s moment correlation statistics at 0.05 significance level. From the analysis of the study, the finding revealed that interactive justice has positive and significant relationship with affective, normative and continuance commitment. The study therefore, concluded that management abilities to foster good interpersonal relationship and effective channel of information to the employees would positively and significantly influence commitment in the organization. The study recommended that management in the Nigerian manufacturing sector should put in place a reward system that will be fair and just to the employees as it will boast the workers' morale to put more work effort and remain with the organization.

description: For obtaining optimal first-order convergence guarantee for stochastic optimization, it is necessary to use a recurrent data sampling algorithm that samples every data point with sufficient frequency. Most commonly used data sampling algorithms (e.g., i.i.d., MCMC, random reshuffling) are indeed recurrent under mild assumptions. In this work, we show that for a particular class of stochastic optimization algorithms, we do not need any other property (e.g., independence, exponential mixing, and reshuffling) than recurrence in data sampling algorithms to guarantee the optimal rate of first-order convergence. Namely, using regularized versions of Minimization by Incremental Surrogate Optimization (MISO), we show that for non-convex and possibly non-smooth objective functions, the expected optimality gap converges at an optimal rate $O(n^{-1/2})$ under general recurrent sampling schemes. Furthermore, the implied constant depends explicitly on the `speed of recurrence', measured by the expected amount of time to visit a given data point either averaged (`target time') or supremized (`hitting time') over the current location. We demonstrate theoretically and empirically that convergence can be accelerated by selecting sampling algorithms that cover the data set most effectively. We discuss applications of our general framework to decentralized optimization and distributed non-negative matrix factorization.

description: Leveraging open science resources (data, tools, literature, communities, etc.) to support student-centered learning environments is emerging as an important education reform strategy in undergraduate biology. The BioQUEST Curriculum Consortium is hosting a Research Coordination Network that brings together diverse stakeholders representing the breadth of both the Open Education (OE) and Open Science (OS) communities to highlight existing work at the intersection of OE and OS, explore strategies for supporting FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles in the curation of those resources, and address barriers to equitable participation in their use. This introduction to the Network will provide an overview of our approach to building social and technical connections across these open communities, describe some of the resources available for adoption and reuse, and present a framework designed to support ongoing coordination across the dynamic and emerging landscape at the interface of OE and OS.

description: We consider a general class of bulk-surface convective Cahn--Hilliard systems with dynamic boundary conditions. In contrast to classical Neumann boundary conditions, the dynamic boundary conditions of Cahn--Hilliard type allow for dynamic changes of the contact angle between the diffuse interface and the boundary, a convection-induced motion of the contact line as well as absorption of material by the boundary. The coupling conditions for bulk and surface quantities involve parameters $K,L\in[0,\infty]$, whose choice declares whether these conditions are of Dirichlet, Robin or Neumann type. We first prove the existence of a weak solution to our model in the case $K,L\in (0,\infty)$ by means of a Faedo--Galerkin approach. For all other cases, the existence of a weak solution is then shown by means of the asymptotic limits, where $K$ and $L$ are sent to zero or to infinity, respectively. Eventually, we establish higher regularity for the phase-fields, and we prove the uniqueness of weak solutions given that the mobility functions are constant.

description: Multi-mode NOON states can quantum-enhance multiple-phase estimation in the absence of photon loss. However, a multi-mode NOON state is known to be vulnerable to photon loss, and its quantum-enhancement can be dissipated by lossy environment. In this work, we demonstrate that a quantum advantage in estimate precision can still be achieved in the presence of photon loss. This is accomplished by optimizing the weights of the multi-mode NOON states according to photon loss rates in the multiple modes, including the reference mode which defines the other phases. For practical relevance, we also show that photon-number counting via a multi-mode beam-splitter achieves the useful, albeit sub-optimal, quantum advantage. We expect this work to provide valuable guidance for developing quantum-enhanced multiple-phase estimation techniques in lossy environments.

description: The Cambridge University has sought assistance from IOT for computer simulations of the gouging process using DECICE. The objective of this project was to study the conditions in which an ice keel will break up, partially or completely, when in contact with the seabed during the process of ice gouging. The ice friction angle and the cohesion of ice were the two key parameters investigated, as they have a significant effect on the fracture of breakable ice ridges. The data obtained from DECICE aimed to establish a relationship between the fracture of ice ridges and their mechanical properties. At the writing of this memorandum, we have only completed simulations with varying ice friction, seabed inclination and trajectory angle. This memorandum documents the results of these simulations.

description: This study presents an innovative direct numerical simulation approach for complex particle systems with irregular shapes and large numbers. Using partially saturated methods, it accurately models arbitrary shapes, albeit at considerable computational cost when integrating a compatible contact model. The introduction of a novel parallelization strategy significantly improves the performance of the contact model, enabling efficient four-way coupled simulations. Through hindered settling studies, the criticality of the explicit contact model for maintaining simulation accuracy is highlighted, especially at high particle volume fractions and low Archimedes numbers. The feasibility of simulating thousands of arbitrarily shaped convex particles is demonstrated with up to 1934 surface-resolved particles. The study also confirms the grid independence and linear convergence of the method. It shows for the first time that cube swarms settle 13 to 26% slower than swarms of volume-equivalent spheres across different Archimedes numbers (500 to 2000) and particle volume fractions (10 to 30%). These findings emphasize the shape dependence of particle systems and suggest avenues for exploring their nuanced dynamics.
Contribution to the study of the effectiveness of internal audit functions in Moroccan public institutions and companies: A quantitative approach

description: This article focuses on the effectiveness of internal auditing in Moroccan public institutions and companies. Resource theory is used to explore the internal factors impacting internal audit effectiveness. The aim is to examine the internal factors influencing the effectiveness of the internal audit function in public establishments and companies. We attempt to answer the following research question: "What are the internal factors impacting the effectiveness of internal audit functions within public establishments and companies?" We adopted a post-positivist posture, a hypothetico-deductive logic and a quantitative approach. Data were collected using a questionnaire administered to 120 internal audit unit managers and 120 audit department employees. A total of 240 questionnaires were distributed, of which 230 were valid. Multiple regression was used to analyze the data collected. The results of the statistical tests showed that the main internal factors impacting internal audit effectiveness were the motivation of internal audit staff, the size of the internal audit team, the use of information technology and the competence of internal auditors. The multiple regression model indicates that, among the internal factors, internal auditor competence is the catalyst for internal audit effectiveness.

description: Kibble-Zurek mechanism relates the domain of non-equilibrium dynamics with the critical properties at equilibrium. It establishes a power law connection between non-equilibrium defects quenched through a continuous phase transition and the quench rate via the scaling exponent. We present a novel numerical scheme to estimate the scaling exponent wherein the notion of defects is mapped to errors, previously introduced to quantify a variety of gapped quantum phases. To demonstrate the versatility of our method we conduct numerical experiments across a broad spectrum of spin-half models hosting local and symmetry protected topological order. Furthermore, an implementation of the quench dynamics featuring a topological phase transition on a digital quantum computer is proposed to quantify the associated criticality.

description: Hypericin is a natural polycyclic quinone found in Hypericum perforatum. Although hypericin reportedly has numerous pharmacological activities, only a limited number of studies have been performed on the absorption and transport characteristics of this compound, presumably because hypericin is a highly lipophilic compound that is poorly soluble in a physiological medium. The major aim of this study was to get a detailed understanding of the exposure and fate of hypericin in the Caco-2 cell system under different experimental conditions. The permeation characteristics of hypericin (5 µM) in the absence or presence of the model flavonoid quercitrin (20 µM) were studied in the absorptive direction, without or with the addition of 10 % FBS to the transport buffer apically. Following the application of hypericin to the apical side of the monolayer, only negligible amounts of the compound were found in the basolateral compartment when the experiment was performed with a transport buffer. The amount of hypericin in the basolateral compartment increased in the presence of quercitrin (from 0 to 4 %). The majority of hypericin was found after cell extraction (44 % in the absence and 64 % in the presence of quercitrin). When 10 % FBS was added to the transport buffer in the apical compartment to improve the solubility of hypericin in the aqueous solution, around 68 % of hypericin was bound to the serum proteins. Under these experimental conditions, the amount of hypericin in the cells/cell membrane was only 13 % in the absence and 18 % in the presence of quercitrin. The low recovery and significant amounts of hypericin found after cell extraction and bound to the surface of the culture dish made a correct estimation of permeability constants impossible. Fluorescence microscopy and imaging analysis revealed that hypericin is mainly accumulated in the cell membrane. The precise mechanism through which hypericin might overcome the hydrophobic barrier of cell membranes remains to be elucidated. However, our experiments demonstrated that regardless of the experimental conditions, the permeation characteristics of hypericin improved in the presence of the model flavonoid quercitrin.

description: Recently, there has been increasing concern about the vulnerability of deep neural network (DNN)-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR) automatic target recognition (ATR) to adversarial attacks, where a DNN could be easily deceived by clean input with imperceptible but aggressive perturbations. This paper studies the synthetic-to-measured (S2M) transfer setting, where an attacker generates adversarial perturbation based solely on synthetic data and transfers it against victim models trained with measured data. Compared with the current measured-to-measured (M2M) transfer setting, our approach does not need direct access to the victim model or the measured SAR data. We also propose the transferability estimation attack (TEA) to uncover the adversarial risks in this more challenging and practical scenario. The TEA makes full use of the limited similarity between the synthetic and measured data pairs for blind estimation and optimization of S2M transferability, leading to feasible surrogate model enhancement without mastering the victim model and data. Comprehensive evaluations based on the publicly available synthetic and measured paired labeled experiment (SAMPLE) dataset demonstrate that the TEA outperforms state-of-the-art methods and can significantly enhance various attack algorithms in computer vision and remote sensing applications. Codes and data are available at https://github.com/scenarri/S2M-TEA.

Retrieval Augmented Deep Anomaly Detection for Tabular Data

description: Deep learning for tabular data has garnered increasing attention in recent years, yet employing deep models for structured data remains challenging. While these models excel with unstructured data, their efficacy with structured data has been limited. Recent research has introduced retrieval-augmented models to address this gap, demonstrating promising results in supervised tasks such as classification and regression. In this work, we investigate using retrieval-augmented models for anomaly detection on tabular data. We propose a reconstruction-based approach in which a transformer model learns to reconstruct masked features of \textit{normal} samples. We test the effectiveness of KNN-based and attention-based modules to select relevant samples to help in the reconstruction process of the target sample. Our experiments on a benchmark of 31 tabular datasets reveal that augmenting this reconstruction-based anomaly detection (AD) method with sample-sample dependencies via retrieval modules significantly boosts performance. The present work supports the idea that retrieval module are useful to augment any deep AD method to enhance anomaly detection on tabular data.
