How to make research accessible and reproducible in your institute

FAIR

description: In 2020, we introduced an open science policy in our space research institute SRON in the Netherlands. One of the main goals of the policy is that each refereed publication from an SRON first author should be accompanied by a publicly available reproduction package. Sharing the data and software used in a publication should make the reproduction of its scientific results much easier. Since there are no detailed guidelines (yet) about how to make such a package in astronomy, we developed a simple template for researchers to create a package that follows the FAIR principles as much as possible. In this talk, we will discuss the details of our open data policy and our experiences with implementing it. What steps appear to be essential to take to move scientists toward open science? And what aspects of open data policies make this journey difficult? We will review the lessons that we have learned since we first introduced the policy in our institute.
Mass spectroscopy of charmonium using a screened potential

description: In this work, we estimate the mass spectra and decay properties of charmonium ($c \bar c$) using a non-relativistic potential model. We employ a potential model incorporating a Coulomb like term, representing one gluon exchange at short distances, and a screening term representing quark confinement at long distances. Spin-dependent corrections are also added perturbatively. Our results are compared with available experimental data and some other theoretical models. Based on this, we have made some comments on interquark potential.

"I Am that Very Witch": Gender, Genre, Psychedelics, and Abjection in the 2010s "Witch" Horror Cycle

description: This thesis will explore depictions of different kinds of witches in the late 2010s horror cycle in relation to previous cycles and witchcraft lore. Beginning with a historical analysis of the witch as an ambivalent cultural figure of both patriarchal fear and feminist activism, then using Carol Clover's Men, Women and Chainsaws and Julia Kristeva's The Power of Horror as central nodes of analysis, it will trace the representation of "demonic women" in the past decade back to older horror cycles (particularly the 1970s) and demonstrate a major shift in cinematic portrayals of this archetype over time, relating back to mythic notions of the witch as a threat to the heteropatriarchal order. In prior decades these characters - women possessed or possessing supernatural powers - were necessarily destroyed or reformed at the end of the film as a matter of moral course from before the Hays Code through even the early-mid 2010s; now these women seem to transcend the diegesis of the film, both structurally and stylistically (through a notable trend of psychedelics and psychedelic imagery), attaining a power the narrative is unable to constrain. At their heart then, these films seem to represent a return to the (importantly masculine–– all of the directors central to this analysis are male auteurs) examination of some of the oldest enduring myths surrounding femininity as abject, and the cultural fears they invoke as a threat to the dominant order–– now, finally, cinematically beyond male control.
Talking us into the Metaverse: Towards Realistic Streaming Speech-to-Face Animation
Creators: name: Medina, Salvador
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2024
Subjects: Natural Language Processing

description:  Speech-to-face animation aims to create a realistic visual representation of a person’s face based on their voice. Developing realistic facial animations of a person from a speech signal pertains to the main challenges of accurately capturing and reproducing the face’s complex motions, including the tongue’s motion. In this work, we use a combination of speech-pathology study techniques and machine learning to analyze a person’s speech patterns and map them onto a digital avatar. The ultimate objective of our research is to animate realistic avatars in real time. To achieve this goal, we introduce a large-scale dataset that comprises 2.55 hours of corresponding speech and motion data captured from the tongue, lips, and jaw using electromagnetic articulography, while the facial motion was captured through stereo video. As an initial step, we make an exploratory analysis of different deep-learning-based methods for accurate and generalizable speech-to-tongue animation. We evaluate several encoder-decoder network architectures and audio features ranging from traditional to self-supervised audio representations. The best model achieves a temporal mean error of 1.77 𝑚𝑚 when predicting the tongue, lips, and jaw motion and delivers realistic animations on singing audio regardless of training the model only using neutral speech from a single actor. Although adept at tongue movement predictions, this approach was limited in facial animations, prompting the evolution towards the IMFT’23 dataset that captures intricate facial motion pairing 2.28 hours of audio, video, and facial, lips, jaw, and tongue 3D landmarks. Our proposed Phonetically Informed Speech-Animation Network (PhISANet), results in animations with a sub-millimeter mean vertex error. It does this by incorporating WavLM feature encodings and by pioneering the use of a Connectionist Temporal Classifier (CTC) through Multi-task Learning in the speech-to-animation field of study. PhISANet generalizes across voices from different ages, genders, and languages. Perception user studies confirm that a CTC offers superior animation accuracy and realism and perceptible improvements in tongue and lip animations. Furthermore, to ensure animation quality, we advocate using visual speech recognition networks, specifically the AV-HuBERT model, as a benchmark. This research pushes the boundaries of realistic speech-to-animation, emphasizing the promise of real-time applications and setting a precedent in the speech-to-animation field of study

description: Constitutional and Administrative Law is a core component of legal studies throughout the world, but to date little has been written about how this might exist on the Internet, which is like a world without frontiers. John Perry Barlow’s “Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace” served to start the debate about the legitimacy of nation-states to impose laws on such a virtual space. It has been argued that the nation-states won as there are now a signi cant number of laws regulating the Internet on national and international levels. It can however be seen that there are commonalities between the two entities. For example, there are commonalities in the way they function. There are also commonalities in the way civil rights exist, and the existence of civil remedies and law enforcement. These are all explored in the chapter, which also presents two concepts about the authority of the state in regulating behaviour in online communities. One of them, “sysop prerogative,” says that owners of website can do whatever they want so long as they have not had it taken away by law or given it away by contract. The second, ‘The Preece Gap’, says that there is a distance between the ideal usable and sociable website that the users want and that which the owners of the website provide in practice. Two other concepts are also introduced, “the Figallo effect” and the “Jimbo effect.” The former describes an online community where users use their actual identities and sysop prerogative is delegated to them. The latter describes those where sysop prerogative is exercised by one or more enforcers to control users who use pseudonyms. The chapter concludes that less anonymity and a more professionalised society are needed to bridge the gap between online and of ine regulation of behavior.

description: The proliferation of digital mental health (DMH) tracking services promises personalized support, yet accessibility barriers limit equal access. This study investigates blind community experiences with DMH tracking services across the United States as a step toward inclusive health technology design. Working with blind advocacy organizations, we distributed a cross-sectional observational survey (n = 93) and analyzed open-ended responses using Norman and Skinner's eHealth Literacy framework. Our findings reveal significant challenges in navigation, content interpretation, and overall user experience, which impede the blind community's effective engagement with DMH tools. Results highlight the need for adaptive interfaces, accessible tracking strategies, and voice-guided interactions. These insights inform design recommendations for developers and policymakers, promoting more inclusive mental health technologies. By prioritizing accessibility, we make forward progress in ensuring that DMH tracking services fulfill their potential to support mental well-being across diverse user groups, fostering digital equality in mental health care.

 Diagnosis. Body size in vivo 95-105 × 55-65 μm (n =3); broad elliptical; 1 small and 7 distinct frontoventral cirri with polystyla -arrangement; single contractile vacuole located subterminally; 5 transverse cirri; 4 dorsal kineties; adoral zone of membranelles (AZM) bipartite, AZM1 composed of 4 membranelles; AZM2 composed of 41-45 membranelles, posterior thorn-like projection absent.
 Distribution. China, Korea (Type locality is not mentioned).
 Remarks. The Korean population of Aspidisca orthopogon corresponds very well to the Chinese population (Li et al., 2008). They only differ in the absence (vs. presence) of the thorn-like projection in the rear body end. Aspidisca orthopogon is also similar to A. magna in the body size (95-105× 55-65 μm vs. 50-100× 40-80 μm), but can be easily distinguished from this species and other congeners by the enormous posterior adoral zone (AZM2), which is composed of 41-45 membranelles (vs. 12-13 in A. aculeata, 15-18 in A. magna, and 14-21 in A. leptapsis) (Li et al., 2008; 2010).

description: The current implementation of PlasmaPy's `Plasma` object does not adequately fulfill the intended use case. Plasma physics is a broad discipline which makes use of many different kinds of data structure from a variety of sources and a variety of purposes. If PlasmaPy is to provide useful tools for all plasma physicists, its core data object therefore needs to be appropriately flexible. This PLEP therefore presents a new more general framework for the `Plasma` object.

description: Due to the climate change, hay fever becomes a pressing healthcare problem with an increasing number of affected population, prolonged period of affect and severer symptoms. A precise pollen classification could help monitor the trend of allergic pollen in the air throughout the year and guide preventive strategies launched by municipalities. Most of the pollen classification works use 2D microscopy image or 2D projection derived from 3D image datasets. In this paper, we aim at using whole stack of 3D images for the classification and evaluating the classification performance with different deep learning models. The 3D image dataset used in this paper is from Urticaceae family, particularly the genera Urtica and Parietaria, which are morphologically similar yet differ significantly in allergenic potential. The pre-trained ResNet3D model, using optimal layer selection and extended epochs, achieved the best performance with an F1-score of 98.3%.

description: Finding discussion topics around open access that resonate with your campus community is often quite difficult. In general, authors can agree that academic publishing is broken, but when it comes to action involving negotiating with publishers or paying author processing charges for open access, it is a hard sell to move from talk to walk. One conversation topic, however, has been generating quite the buzz on Vanderbilt University’s campus. Sci-Hub is a crowd favorite when it comes to engaging workshop or meeting attendees, and never fails to generate lively conversation ranging from apathy regarding the website’s illegal status to absolute horror at the idea of their work ending up on the site. Sci-Hub has been the greatest discussion generator since the Science sting, and it often ends with the author recognizing that action can and should be taken to ensure readers worldwide do not have to resort to black open access simply to perform research. This talk will discuss the various angles one could use when discussing Sci-Hub and demonstrates how you can advocate for open access publishing by making Sci-Hub conversations a regular part of your engagement and outreach efforts.

description: This paper describes a pilot study that examines the perceived effectiveness and usability of a dynamic reusable learning object that enriches lecture material in an introductory programming course. In particular, we focus on the topic of looping by providing students an interactive tool that lets them simulate and review the execution of code. The results suggest that students in CS0 courses may utilize this tool for learning about looping, while CS1 students are more likely to use it for reviewing concepts that they learned in class. The findings of this pilot study have enabled us to focus on which aspects to improve for the next set of reusable learning objects.
Transposable Genetic Elements
Creators: name: Sanyal, Tanmay
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Overview of Transposable Elements

Definition: Mobile genetic elements that can move within the genome.

Found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes.

They contribute to genetic variation, mutations, and evolution.

Prokaryotic Transposable Elements

Insertion Sequences (IS Elements):

Simplest transposable elements.

Encode transposase for mobilization and insertion.

Can disrupt genes or regulatory regions and alter gene expression.

Transposons (Tn):

Structurally more complex than IS elements.

Two types:

Composite Transposons: Contain IS elements flanking additional genes (e.g., antibiotic resistance genes).

Non-composite Transposons: Do not terminate with IS elements but carry genes within repeated sequences.

Mechanisms of Transposition

Replicative Transposition ("Copy and Paste"):

Transposon replicates, leaving one copy in the original location and moving another to a new location.

Involves a cointegrate intermediate and resolvase enzyme for resolution.

Non-replicative Transposition ("Cut and Paste"):

Transposon moves to a new location, leaving a break at the original site.

Utilized by certain elements like Tn5 and Tn10.

Eukaryotic Transposable Elements

Barbara McClintock's Discovery:

Studied unstable genetic elements in maize.

Awarded the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Examples:

Ty Elements in Yeast: Similar to retroviruses, integrate via reverse transcription.

P Elements in Drosophila: Associated with hybrid dysgenesis and used as transformation vectors.

Human Retrotransposons:

LINEs (Long Interspersed Nuclear Elements): ~6.5 kb elements, 5% of the genome, encode reverse transcriptase.

SINEs (Short Interspersed Nuclear Elements): Alu sequences, ~300 bp long, implicated in gene regulation and genetic disorders.

Significance

Transposable elements play roles in:

Genomic rearrangements.

Stress-induced genetic variation.

Potential links to evolutionary processes and human diseases.

description: In general, this study is about privatisation and corporate governance, examining the association between state ownership and firm performance in privatised firms. In particular, the study attempts to explain this association in two respects: the mediating impact of agency costs, and the moderating effect of debt. The thesis presents two arguably novel theoretical approaches. First, employing agency theory to examine the association between state ownership and firm performance, it distinguishes itself by considering the role of agency costs in the ownership/performance relation. To do this, it relaxes a conventional assumption that state ownership generally has a negative impact on firm performance because it has a positive association with agency problems. Specifically, the thesis hypothesizes an ownership/performance relation without any prior expectation concerning its sign. The association between state ownership and firm performance may be mediated by agency costs, and state ownership may have a negative/positive association with firm performance because it may have a positive/negative association with agency costs. Second, the thesis complements the strategic management literatures on the roles of ownership and capital structures by exploring interaction between state ownership, debt and firm performance. The study proposes that debt, as a source of corporate governance in the nuanced institutional context of transition economies, may moderate the association between state ownership and firm performance. The above theoretical approaches are developed into three pairs of hypotheses that are tested with a sample of Chinese privatised firms, listed on the two stock exchanges of China (Shanghai and Shenzhen). Results show that state ownership has a positive impact on firm performance because it has a negative association with agency costs. In addition, debt is generally found to reinforce the positive association between state ownership and firm performance. On the basis of possible power and/or efficiency influences of the Chinese government in the context of nascent Chinese institutions, findings are discussed and implications for government policy are provided. In addition, given the size and growing global importance of the Chinese economy, the study has practical significance for practitioners such as international managers and investors planning to invest in the country. In general, although the study focuses on China with her institutional features, it has been developed from an extensive strategic management literature and hence, the study may be replicated to in other transition economies.

description: Oxygen concentration in tumor micro-environment is a well-established signal that can induce aggressive cancer behaviour. In particular, low oxygen levels (hypoxia) activate the Hypoxia-Inducible Factor(HIF) pathway which has an array of target systems. One of these systems is Integrin-Linked Kinase (ILK) pathway, which influences key signaling pathways for cell survival, proliferation, and migration. Hence, this paper aimed to explore the interconnection between these two pathways. Using the Petri net modeling tool Snoopy, an established HIF network model was transformed to be a continuous Petri net. Subsequently, the network was expanded to incorporate a feedback element from the ILK pathway to HIF, based on gene expression data. The resulting model conserved the oxygen switch response of the original HIF model and positively amplified HIF's output. Therefore, this model provides a starting point for establishing a system reflecting crucial effect on hypoxia-induced cancer behavior, and could potentially serve as a basis for future drug development.

description: Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit bestand darin Rechtfertigungen von Tätern nach einer (hypothetischen) moralischen Regelverletzung (z.B. physische oder verbale Gewalt, sozialer Ausschluss) zu untersuchen. Zu diesem Zweck wurden zwei bereits in der Literatur bekannte Konstrukte herangezogen, nämlich zum Einen die Moral Disengagement Theory von Albert Bandura (1996) und zum Anderen das Konzept des Moral Reasoning von Tina Malti und Kollegen (2009). Nachdem die vorliegenden Literaturbefunde sich ausschließlich mit Kindern im europäischen Ausland beschäftigen, soll dies die erste Arbeit sein, die dieser Frage bei österreichischen Kindern auf den Grund geht. Deshalb wurden die zweiten, dritten und vierten Klassen österreichischer Kooperativer Mittelschulen sowie Hauptschulen untersucht und es lagen anfänglich die Daten von 497 Kindern vor. Nach Aussieben derjenigen Kinder, die zu viele Missings in den Daten aufwiesen bzw. nach einer Kategorisierung in vier Gruppen, nämlich bullies, victims, bully-victims und Unbeteiligte, existierten zwei Stichproben, mit denen je nach Fragestellung gearbeitet wurde. Den Kindern wurden zwei Erhebungsinstrumente vorgelegt, die sich auf oben angeführte Theorien stützten. Das war zum ersten die Moral Disengagement Scale von Bandura (1996) und zum zweiten die Moral-Reasoining Vignetten von Malti und Strohmeier (2009). Die Hauptfragestellung, die darin bestand, ob sich die vier genannten Gruppen signifikant in ihren MD-Werten unterscheiden, erbrachte einen signifikanten Unterschied zwischen den Gruppen bullies und bully-victims und der Gruppe unbeteiligte Kinder. Hinsichtlich des Geschlechts besteht weder ein Unterschied in Bezug auf die Werte auf der MDS, noch bezüglich der Rechtfertigungen, die die Kinder anführen, ausgenommen moralische Rechtfertigungen. Die Fragestellung, ob sich Kinder mit und Kinder ohne Migrationshintergrund hinsichtlich des Scores auf der MDS unterscheiden, fällt nicht signifikant aus. Allerdings gibt es teilweise signifikante Unterschiede in Bezug auf die Zugehörigkeit der Rechtfertigungen, die die Kinder angeben. Jedenfalls sollten die Ergebnisse dahingehend überprüft und weitergeführt werden, als eine größere Stichprobe herangezogen wird, da sich in dieser Untersuchung der Wegfall eines erheblichen Teils der Stichprobe eventuell problematisch gestaltet haben könnte.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic and consequent health regulations compelled office-based knowledge workers to work from home (WFH) en masse. Government and employer directives to WFH disrupted common norms of commuting to city office spaces and reshaped the geographies of office-based knowledge work, with potentially lasting implications. Pandemic-induced cohabitation of work-space and home-space saw more workers navigating the performance of paid labour in the home to produce new relational geographies of home, work, and worker. This paper provides a window on the lived experiences of the sizeable cohort of office-based knowledge workers displaced from Sydney’s CBD to undertake WFH in the Illawarra region during the pandemic. We explore the unfolding pandemic geographies of work and home by drawing together feminist economic geography and geographies of home literatures. Our analysis reveals the emergent and variegated time-spaces of WFH that emerged as the rhythms and routines of WFH shaped the home and vice versa. The analysis also reveals the differentiated agency of embodied workers to orchestrate emergent configurations of WFH, shaped by gender and by the socio-materialities of home shaped by size, tenure, and life-cycle stage. We conclude by drawing out important lines of analysis for further research as “hybrid work” evidently becomes entrenched post-COVID.

description: 6. Pseudokeronopsis carnea (Cohn, 1866)   Wirnsberger, Larsen & Uhlig, 1987 (Fig. 6)
 Material examined. Marine water (salinity, 26.9‰) collected under Gangmun Bridge on Gangmun-dong, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do, Korea (37°47′48.0″N 128°54′51.0″ E) on 19 Mar 2019.
 Diagnosis. Body size in vivo 170-230 × 30-60 μm (n = 7); slender with rounded anterior and posterior end, anterior body portion slightly narrowed and posterior portion distinctly narrowed; flexible but not contractile; contractile vacuole left and posterior to body center; cortical granules orange to brownish in color, scattered all over the cortex and arranged around dorsal bristles and cirri; many macronuclear nodules (>100); adoral zone of membranelles about 30% of body length and consists of 54-60 membranelles; right marginal row with 58-70 cirri, left marginal row with 54-60, 35-43 midventral pairs, 7-9 transverse, 2 pretransverse, 1 buccal cirri, and 5 dorsal kineties.
 Distribution. China, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Netherland, United Kingdom, and Korea.
 Remarks. The Korean population of Pseudokeronopsis carnea resembles the Chinese population (Song et al., 2006). In this study, we synonymize the previous Korean P. carnea (Baek et al., 2011) to P. pararubra on the basis of the length of the midventral rows (terminates at the level of transverse cirri in P. carnea vs. terminates far anterior to transverse cirri in P. pararubra) and the color of the cortical granules (bright orange-red in P. carnea vs. dark brick-red in P. pararubra) (Hu et al., 2004; Baek et al., 2011).

title: Kann der Prüfungserfolg von der Diagnostik 1 Prüfung aus den Ergebnissen einer experimentellen Verhaltensaufgabe zum Thema Lernen vorhergesagt werden?
Creators: name: Stadler, Dagmar
Year: 2010

description: Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war, Prädiktoren zu identifizieren, die einen zuvor definierten Prüfungserfolg zur Vorlesung Psychologische Diagnostik 1 wahrscheinlich und vorhersagbar machen. Dafür wurden kognitive und nichtkognitive Faktoren in die statistischen Analysen miteinbezogen. Diese Vorhersagen sollen mit Hilfe einer binär logistischen Regression getroffen werden. Als Prädiktoren wurden Variablen zum experimentell beobachteten Lernverhalten (LAsO), die verbalen Fähigkeiten, sowie die Persönlichkeitseigenschaften Gewissenhaftigkeit und Neurotizismus herangezogen. Die Hauptergebnisse der Modelle A zeigen, dass sich die angewandten Lernstrategien einen signifikanten Einfluss haben und dazu eignen, ein Prüfungsergebnis vorherzusagen und somit zwischen den Gruppen zu differenzieren. Außerdem leistet die Unterscheidung des sicheren Lerntyps mit den unsicheren und den sich überschätzenden Lerntypen einen signifikanten Beitrag zur Vorhersage des Prüfungsergebnisses. Die Modelle B zeigen die Tendenz, dass sowohl die verbalen Fähigkeiten, als auch die Dimension Gewissenhaftigkeit signifikante Beiträge zur Vorhersage leisten können.

 (Fig. 8)
 Material examined. Marine water with some debris (salinity, 29.3‰) collected from Hamdeok Beach, Jocheoneup, Jeju-si, Jeju-do, Korea (33°32′36″N 126°39′51″E) on 8 Jun 2019.
 Diagnosis. Body size in vivo 60-70 × 30-35 μm (n = 3); elongate obconical, dorsoventrally flattened, and partially covered with hemitheca; extrusomes conspicuous in vivo, about 15 μm in length; single elongate ellipsoidal macronucleus; apical protrusion filled with reddish granules; about 5 buccal and 15 collar membranelles; girdle kinety opened and left part of dikinetids directed to ventral kinety; ventral kinety arranged from ventral to dorso-lateral side.
 Distribution. China, King George Island, and Korea.
 Remarks. The Korean population of Strombidium apolatum agrees with the type population in most aspects except of the body size (60-70 × 30-35 μm vs. 50 × 40 μm). Strombidium apolatum can be easily distinguished from other congeners by the dorsoventrally flattened (vs. non-flattened) body, the discontinuous (vs. continuous) girdle kinety, and the presence (vs. absence) of the hemitheca that covers two thirds of body (Wilbert & Song, 2005; Xu et al., 2009).

description: Taking with it many facets of everyday interaction, including that of teaching and learning. As the educational forefront is continually advancing through the introduction of new ideas, technologies and media, it is important to report all of these changes in order to stay abreast of its impacts. It is with great pleasure that we introduce our second issue of the ICST Transactions on e-Education and e-Learning. It has always been our belief that it is important for educators to experiment with new instructional tools and pedagogical approaches in order to find innovative ways to enhance teaching and learning. It is through the expertise of many educational pioneers that we are able to gain invaluable insight into new methods of teaching. Education should change and adapt as both society and technology evolve.
