3E analysis

description: A micro combined heat and power (micro-CHP) unit generates simultaneously heat and power from a single fuel source at high efficiency for buildings. The micro-CHP unit can be fuelled by renewable energy sources, such as solar or biomass. The photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) collector converts solar energy to electricity and heat, simultaneously. On the other hand, the Stirling engine powered micro-CHP unit produces, in a controlled manner, energy from biomass. To support fluctuating solar based cogeneration, a hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) is formed by combining the PVT collectors and controllable Stirling engine micro-CHP unit with multi-port thermal energy storage. In addition to support fluctuating solar energy production, the hybridization enables high efficient and 100 \% renewable energy production, increased reliability and flexibility, and a reduction in CO2 emissions, primary energy use and costs. However, the HRES based on the different micro-CHP units requires further analysis, especially, in terms of dynamic simulation due to highly dynamic behaviour of the PVT collectors and thermal load of the building. In this paper, a dynamic model of the described HRES is presented and built to Matlab/Simulink in order to perform energy, exergy and exergo-economic analysis of the system. The system produces domestic hot water (DHW), space heating and electricity for residential building use under climate conditions of Strasbourg, France. The hourly demand and weather data are used to simulate the operation of the HRES. In addition to energy and exergy analysis, the exergo-economic analysis is performed which combines exergy with economic analysis. This method is used to allocate the investment and operation costs of the system to the energy products. The exergo-economic method is extremely useful when the energy system has multiple inputs and outputs with different exergy levels. In addition to the 3E analysis, a sensitivity analysis is conducted to see how the number of the PVT collectors and the size of the storage tank will influence on the exergo-economic costs of the thermal and electrical energy products. As a result, the seasonal variations on the energy and exergy efficiencies are presented on the component and system level. Additionally, the monthly fuel exergy, exergy destruction in the components and exergy products of the system are presented. Finally, the monthly variation of the exergo-economic costs of the energy products is presented and discussed. The results showed that combining the free solar energy production with costly biomass energy conversion reduced the specific cost of electricity and increased the electricity production capacity of the system. The specific costs of the energy products varied seasonally and the specific cost of electricity was relatively high compared to the electric grid price due to high initial investment costs of the HRES.

description: Political Shocks and their Effects on Sino-Japanese Economic Relations: Examples from 2005, 2012, and 2013 Despite cultural proximity and a long history, Sino-Japanese relations have hardly experienced a period without political tensions. Having normalized diplomatic ties in 1972, the subsisting potential of conflict within bilateral relations has manifested itself in recurring political shocks, i. e. sudden political (or politicized) domestic events that temporarily cause relations to deteriorate. They result from unsettled diplomatic issues and lead to mass demonstrations and extensive media coverage. Notwithstanding these shocks, Japan and China have continuously maintained strong economic ties during the last four decades. Therefore, the Sino-Japanese relationship is often characterized as »politically cold, economically hot,« suggesting political and economic relations do not influence each other. Nevertheless, recent political shocks between 2005 and 2012 have caused spillovers into economic relations. China’s rapid economic growth and its rise to a world power have resulted in a shifted power balance between the two countries in its favor. Although Sino-Japanese economic relations have led to mutual economic interdependence, Japan’s economic importance for China has decreased, affording China economic leverage over Japan. Economic interdependence shifted to Japan’s disadvantage from the 1980s to the mid-2000s for two reasons: the declining importance of Japan as a Chinese trading partner and a changed bilateral trade pattern resulting in China’s declining dependence on the import of Japanese high-quality products or on technology transfers from Japan. This article argues that, since this shift occurred, political shocks have affected the economic relationship. To support this claim, it analyzes the economic effects of three recent shocks resulting from a textbook dispute in 2005, a boat collision incident in 2010 and the nationalization of the Senkaku/Diàoyú Islands in 2012. Additionally, the relationship between monthly Sino-Japanese event data and trade data between 2005 and 2014 from the MOF is analyzed using a Vector-Autoregressive Model.

description: Just a Matter of Time: The Collapse of Abenomics When elected in 2012 as prime minister of Japan, Shinzō Abe promised to overcome the persisting deflationary mindset of the public, and to bring the Japanese economy back on track through an array of coordinated economic policies known as »Abenomics«. This paper summarizes the development of the Japanese economy in the last three years and then analyzes the achievements of Abenomics in each area: monetary and fiscal policy as well as structural reforms. In sum, the analysis shows that, until now, Abenomics did not fulfill its expectations. Economic growth is still sluggish, and deflationary tendencies have not disappeared, despite an unprecedented expansion of the monetary base. Fiscal policy is torn between stimulating the economy and achieving fiscal targets to bring down government debt – none of which seems to work. Structural reforms would be able to provide the growth needed to reduce public debt, while covering the ever-increasing expenses of an aging society, but such reforms require a determined political leader who is able to act against established interest groups. Abe, however, is caught up in his agenda to change the Japanese constitution – an agenda which does not leave much leeway for economic reforms.

description: We investigate complex video question answering via chain-of-evidence reasoning -- identifying sequences of temporal spans from multiple relevant parts of the video, together with visual evidence within them. Existing models struggle with multi-step reasoning as they uniformly sample a fixed number of frames, which can miss critical evidence distributed nonuniformly throughout the video. Moreover, they lack the ability to temporally localize such evidence in the broader context of the full video, which is required for answering complex questions. We propose a framework to enhance existing VideoQA datasets with evidence reasoning chains, automatically constructed by searching for optimal intervals of interest in the video with supporting evidence, that maximizes the likelihood of answering a given question. We train our model (VITED) to generate these evidence chains directly, enabling it to both localize evidence windows as well as perform multi-step reasoning across them in long-form video content. We show the value of our evidence-distilled models on a suite of long video QA benchmarks where we outperform state-of-the-art approaches that lack evidence reasoning capabilities.

description: Womenomics – A Model for a New Family Policy in Japan? Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has always been a fervent proponent of conservative family values. Since taking office in December 2012, he seems to have overturned his traditional ideas with a progressive plan to increase the employment and empowerment of women to boost Japan’s struggling economy. The policy bears the innovative title »Womenomics« and forms a pillar in Abe’s growth strategy, the ‘third arrow’ of his ambitious »Abenomics« reform program. The background for Abe’s change of face is apparently the recommendations of various international economic organizations. In recent years, Japan’s family policy has already reinforced gender equality by law and became active in enabling women to balance work and family. However, the labor force participation rate among Japanese women is still low, compared to other OECD nations. The LDP government is now proposing a policy package aimed at thoroughly improving Japan’s diversity and gender equality scores on the executive level. This article explores the question of whether Womenomics can function as a new model for family policy in Japan. By using the term family policy here, I am particularly referring to support policies that enable women to combine parenting and employment. After introducing Womenomics in more detail, the utilization of female human resources under Japan’s past gender equality policies is examined. The Goldman Sachs Investment Bank Japan is obviously the originator of Womenomics, and is very influential in providing its program. For instance, next to state sponsored initiatives, the deregulation and privatization of social institutions and public sectors are proposed as magical solutions for the various structural problems that hinder the improvement of female employment in Japan. The final part of the paper indicates selected topics on how the Japanese government has recently implemented the market-oriented recommendations of GS Japan. The conclusive part of the paper challenges the Japanese government’s point of view, taking economic growth as a primary goal for promoting social development and improving female employment.

description: Domestic Politics 2015/2016 This article summarizes key developments in Japanese domestic politics from September 2015 through August 2016. These include the ruling coalition’s victory at the Upper House election in July 2016, the recent Cabinet reshuffle, cooperation between the opposition parties, ongoing conflicts over energy policy, and political implications of the Emperor’s request to abdicate. As a result of the Upper House election, proponents of a constitutional amendment now hold the two-thirds majority necessary to initiate the amendment process in both houses of parliament for the first time in postwar history. While failing to prevent this two-thirds majority, the opposition parties led by the Democratic Party still performed much better than during the previous Upper House election in 2013. Meanwhile, the LDP – despite strengthening its control over Japan again, having won four national elections since 2012 – has faced opposition from prefectural governors and courts in its attempts to restart Japan’s nuclear reactors. Furthermore, the article will explore the political and legal ramifications of the Emperor’s decision to abdicate.

description: 50 years of Anti-airport-struggle in Sanrizuka: Rise, Failure, and Transformation of the Protest Movement In 1966, peasants in the rural area around the city of Narita were confronted by the declaration of public authorities that their land had been designated as a site of construction for the new international airport for Tokyo. The top-down decision-making process without any prior consultation with local farmers invited strong protest, and the formation of the »Sanrizuka-Shibayama Union to Oppose the Airport« in the same year. The resistance never has totally stopped. After 12 years of confrontation between the state and the local landowners, supported by organizations and individuals of the New Left, the new international airport was finally opened in 1978. However, the militant resistance continued for another 10 years. In 1993 the conflict parties settled on a coexistence agreement. In 1995, the then Prime Minister Murayama apologized for state failure in the violent confrontations with local farmers during the years of open conflict. Today, there are still some landowners filing suit against the state to prevent the construction of a third runway, supported by new and old groups of activists. This article analyzes 50 years of resistance in an attempt to answer the question as to how we can contextualize the protest movement within the emerging post-war state-citizen-relationship. By employing the protest cycle theory of Tilly (2011) as a structuring guide, the article will explore the rise, failure and transformation of the protest movement since 1966 taking, in particular, changes of framing, opportunity windows, and activism into consideration. The analysis will come to the conclusion that, due to frequent re-framing, the anti-airport movement has contributed to the nation-wide movement for supporting postwar democracy, offering new views on female participation in politics, organic farming, and supporting Article 9 of the constitution. The movement has successfully transformed into part of the current movement against atomic energy and for safe food. The mediation process between parts of the anti-airport movement and the Japanese state may serve as a model for conflict solving between the state and protest movements and makes the movement unique among the various democratic mass movements since the 1960s.

description: Cette étude concerne la mise au point d'un dispositif de caractérisation de la conductivité thermique des métaux à basse température. Le dispositif est basé sur une mesure en régime permanent du gradient thermique sur un barreau métallique de section connue : il est chauffé à une extrémité par une résistance électrique et refroidi à son autre extrémité par de l'azote liquide à 77K, qui impose la température globale de l'échantillon. Le gradient de température est alors mesuré (à l'aide de deux sondes de températures positionnées aux extrémités du barreau), pour différentes valeurs de flux thermique. A température cryogénique, les pertes thermiques les plus importantes sont les pertes conductives et convectives, les pertes par rayonnement étant négligeables. Pour éviter les échanges avec l'air, la solution a été de mettre le dispositif dans un vide poussé (1E-5 mBar). Nous présentons ici les détails du dispositif expérimental et de l'analyse des incertitudes qui nous a permis d'estimer l'incertitude de mesure du dispositif. Les mesures ont permis de mettre en évidence des écarts importants avec les données existantes de la littérature. On effectue les mesures pour différentes puissances pour obtenir plusieurs points permettant une régression linéaire qui nous amènera à déterminer la conductivité du barreau étudié. L'expression de la conductivité thermique $\lambda$ est la suivante : $$ \lambda=(L\times P)/(S\times \Delta T). $$ Où L est la longueur du barreau, S sa surface (section du barreau), P la puissance relevée et $\Delta T$ la différence de température aux extrémités du barreau. On a tracé $\Delta T$ en fonction de P pour éliminer les écarts d'étalonnage des Pt100 et la puissance résiduelle apportée par l'environnement à température ambiante. La conductivité s'écrit alors : $$ \lambda=L/(S\times Pente). $$ Où $Pente$ est la pente de la droite de régression du nuage de points de mesure $\Delta T=f(P)$. Erreur due à la méthode de la pente : Cette méthode est entachée d'un biais dû à la non prise en compte de la variation de la conductivité thermique en fonction de la température. Les mesures faites dans cette étude ont été faite point à point en corrigeant l'erreur de décalage de température.

description: Broadening of Security and Trade Politics: Japanese Foreign Policy 2015/2016 In the first three years of his administration, Prime Minister Abe has achieved more fundamental and influential reforms to Japan’s security and trade policies than most post-Cold War predecessors. The most significant change between mid-2015 and mid-2016 has certainly been the passing of the security legislation in the Japanese Upper House, in September 2015, which now enables Japan to participate in so-called measures of collective self-defense. In the same period, Japan has intensified its security and diplomatic relations with partners in the Asia-Pacific region, such as Australia, the Philippines, and Vietnam, as well as India, but also with the United Kingdom. While Japan’s relations with the Republic of Korea have seen some improvement, and recognition of Japan’s responsibility for the so-called comfort women, relations with the People’s Republic of China are still dominated by mistrust and territorial dispute. An important achievement of Japan’s international trade relations was the conclusion of the negotiations of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, in September 2015, and its signing in February 2016. This article analyzes the developments of Japan’s most important bilateral relations, as well as its security, trade, and development policy between 2015 and 2016.

description: Classic bioinformatics curricula are limited by a relatively rigid course compartmentalization, employment of expensive IT/Bioinformatics proprietary tools, and limited grading system as an outcome for completing the course. Here we present a curriculum infused with real-life research-based projects such as whole genome analysis, gene expression array and molecular dynamics, applied for aging, cancer and pharmacogenomics. These projects serve as pivotal points for integrating biomedical, computer science and statistics into one coherent interdisciplinary subject known as bioinformatics. Each project has scientific objectives serving as underlying platform for educational goals. Students join the projects after completing a basic course familiarizing them with the technical and scientific aspects of the projects. The curriculum is based on 100% open source, cutting edge, evolving technology. This allows teaching students to use the most current technology at the fraction of proprietary software price. The utilization of real-life projects brings excitement of involvement in pertinent discoveries and facilitates learning and open sharing of ideas. As the outcome of completing the projects, students will develop the skills, knowledge, and hands-on experience that will make them competitive in today's intensive and rapidly changing field of computational biology.

description: Research on problem solving offers insights into how humans process task-related information and which strategies they use (Newell and Simon, 1972; Öllinger et al., 2014). Problem solving can be defined as the search for possible changes in one's mind (Kahneman, 2003). In a recent study, Adams et al. (2021) assessed whether the predominant problem solving strategy when making changes involves adding or subtracting elements. In order to do this, they used several examples of simple problems, such as editing text or making visual patterns symmetrical, either in naturalistic settings or on-line. The essence of the authors' findings is a strong preference to add rather than subtract elements across a diverse range of problems, including the stabilizing of artifacts, creating symmetrical patterns, or editing texts. More specifically, they succeeded in demonstrating that “participants were less likely to identify advantageous subtractive changes when the task did not (vs. did) cue them to consider subtraction, when they had only one opportunity (vs. several) to recognize the shortcomings of an additive search strategy or when they were under a higher (vs. lower) cognitive load” (Adams et al., 2021, p. 258). Addition and subtraction are generally defined as de-contextualized mathematical operations using abstract symbols (Russell, 1903/1938). Nevertheless, understanding of both symbols and operations is informed by everyday activities, such as making or breaking objects (Lakoff and Núñez, 2000; Fischer and Shaki, 2018). The universal attribution of “addition bias” or “subtraction neglect” to problem solving activities is perhaps a convenient shorthand but it overlooks influential framing effects beyond those already acknowledged in the report and the accompanying commentary (Meyvis and Yoon, 2021). Most importantly, while Adams et al.'s study addresses an important issue, their very method of verbally instructing participants, together with lack of control over several known biases, might render their findings less than conclusive. Below, we discuss our concerns that emerged from the identified biases, namely those regarding the instructions and the experimental materials. Moreover, we refer to research from mathematical cognition that provides new insights into Adams et al.'s findings.

Embracing complexity and diversity: metaproteomics within the Galaxy framework
Creators: name: Pratik Jagtap
Publisher: name: F1000Research

description: Metaproteomics characterizes proteins expressed by microorganism communities (microbiome) present in environmental samples or a host organism. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based metaproteomics has catalyzed new discoveries into the functional dynamics of microbiomes (Wilmes et al 2015, doi: 10.1002/pmic.201500183). Metaproteomic informatics is distinctly challenging due to the large databases and complex processing steps involved. This challenge limits widespread use of metaproteomics. Through modular workflows, we demonstrate the use of the Galaxy bioinformatics framework as a metaproteomic informatics solution (Jagtap et al 2015; doi: 10.1002/pmic.201500074). The workflow output results are compatible with tools for taxonomic and functional characterization (Unipept and MEGAN5). MEGAN5 was used to generate functional characterization of the metaproteome using Inter2Pro pathway analysis. These workflows enable new discoveries from diverse communities such as dental plaques (Rudney et al 2015, doi: 10.1186/s40168-015-0136-z), bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), lung tissue, and cervical-vaginal fluid (CVF). Our results demonstrate the power of discovery metaproteomics to add functional understanding to microbiomes, beyond what is possible using traditional metagenomic approaches.

description: UNESCO World Heritage, East Asian Neighbors and Japanese Legacy Issues The dominant diplomatic conflict of the 39th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in Bonn, 2015, concerned a Japanese nomination for the World Heritage List. A selection of mines, steel works, shipyards and other sites of the Bakumatsu and early Meiji periods – among them the artificial island Hashima (Gunkanjima) – was to be honored as testimony of the first independent industrialization outside the West. Months before, however, the South Korean government had already started to campaign against the nomination, since the Japanese documents failed to mention the wartime use of Korean forced labor at some of the sites. Since both states were members of the 21-state member committee, a collision was imminent. As the result of tense negotiations, this was averted in the end, but in return for South Korea not blocking the World Heritage inscription, Japan had to read out a statement confirming that South Koreans were »forced to work« at some of the sites. While this avoided the legally problematic term of »forced labor«, South Korean and international media interpreted it as Japan’s first official recognition of such abuse. Given also the pending compensation claims, supporters of Prime Minister Abe’s conservative government were upset and questioned the Japanese negotiation strategy. Based on ethnographic fieldwork at the World Heritage Committee session in Bonn, the article gives a chronology of events and attempts to explain why the Abe government approved a statement that runs counter to its nationalist politics of the past. The Japanese side seems to have overestimated the semantic distance between the two contentious terms »forced to work« and »forced labor«. But pork-barrel politics played a role too, as Abe and other involved cabinet members hail from the honored region and/or have their electoral districts there. Great local expectations, in turn, are based on the high reputation of World Heritage and UNESCO in Japan, with the World Heritage title boosting tourist figures and local pride to significant degrees. Obviously, ideological considerations had to take a backseat behind the effort to please trusted supporters, showing once again that the Abe government too is able to compromise.

description: Circos is a biologist favourite tool for production quality plots, however there is an extremely large activation energy in building the initial plots due to Circos' steep learning curve. We have worked to developing a generic and easily configurable Galaxy tool permitting the generation of Circos plots, while providing the generated configuration files in order to allow further tweaking and customization after the fact. We have made the tool publicly available during development and have already received contributions during the GCC2016 Hackathon.
A rare presentation of Uterine perforation after Two days of Dilatation and Curettage procedure in a Scarred uterus with Extruded Fetal parts in abdominal cavity- Case Report

description: Abstract: - A life threatening complication of intrauterine procedure (Dilatation and curettage)is uterine perforation besides having medico legal implications. Since medical abortion has been legalized, it has become very rare during the D&C procedure in recent times. Early diagnosis is key to survival, especially if an unsafe abortion has been performed. Therefore, if the patient has lower abdominal pain, and the history of surgical abortion may be unknown most of the time, a high index of suspicion should be maintained. This case report emphasizes an atypical presentation of uterine perforation in a 28 year old woman with H/o Caesarean section 1 year back, who underwent D&C procedure at 19 weeks of pregnancy. She was discharged after the surgery, assuming there were no complications. Two days after the procedure, patient presented with complaints of acute abdominal pain and distension associated with features of internal bleeding and Bowel obstruction. Trans abdominal Ultrasound was performed, uterine perforation with Massive Haemoperitoneum was diagnosed. X ray abdomen erect view confirmed Bowel obstruction. Intra operatively, Fetal parts were removed from Pouch of Doughlas and abdominal cavity. Prompt recovery was achieved after surgical intervention. This case report highlights the importance of increased awareness during the D&C procedure. Furthermore, it also emphasizes the importance of pre-operative counselling and post-operative monitoring to ensure early detection and prompt management of life-threatening complications.

description: Integrating workflow support for GenomeSpace into Galaxy.

The GenomeSpace importer/exporter itself has been rewritten as a standalone pip installable tool, available here: https://github.com/gvlproject/python-genomespaceclient. We hope to transfer that code back back into GenomeSpace or Galaxy as a set of Python bindings + command line client for GenomeSpace.

There's a 3 minute video of how things work here:

description: Raising Expectations under Uncertainty: The Blind Spot in Abenomics This paper first summarizes the development of the Japanese economy under the fourth year of Abenomics. It shows that GDP growth is still sluggish and inflation is still far from the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) 2% target. The paper then presents major policy changes that have occurred over the last year: the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement (TPP), the delay of the consumption tax hike, a fourth fiscal stimulus package, and the BoJ’s negative interest rate policy (NIRP). The analysis shows that Abenomics is mainly relying on monetary measures, since structural reforms are only progressing slowly and the high amount of government debt limits the room for fiscal stimulus. However, even after applying a negative interest rate policy, the effects on the inflation rate have still failed to materialize. The latter part of the paper explores why fiscal and monetary measures have failed to jump-start the Japanese economy so far. The neglect of uncertainty is presented as one major reason. Finally, the paper concludes by evaluating the likelihood of different scenarios for the further monetary strategy of the BoJ – which seems to be the only viable policy option left.

description: Between Separation and Inclusion: The Promotion of Labor Market Participation of People with Disabilities in Japan The 2013 Amendment of the Law on Employment Promotion of the Disabled introduced significant new aspects to disability employment policy in Japan. In this context, »Special Subsidiary Companies« (tokurei kogaisha) have gained importance again as a subject of heated debate among scholars and politicians about the appropriate means to promote labor market participation of people with disabilities. While some strive for an inclusive labor market, others prefer maintaining an employment system that largely separates disabled from non-disabled workers. The Special Subsidiary System allows companies to establish a subsidiary in order to employ persons with disabilities in working conditions different from those in the parent company. Critics express the view that the Special Subsidiary System violates anti-discrimination principles, as it creates workplaces where people with disabilities are gathered together and separated from a regular work environment. However, others argue that it is a means to promote social inclusion among people with disabilities by enhancing their labor market access and providing them with an opportunity to earn a regular salary. This paper examines whether Special Subsidiaries have a positive effect on the social inclusion of people with disabilities, either through promoting their participation in the labor market or by improving their financial situation. We draw the conclusion that it has some potential to improve disabled people’s labor market access and financial situation, but should be revised to better accord with the ideals of anti-discrimination and diversity.
