description: Helping researchers make better software is the main goal of the Research Software Engineer and it can take multiple forms, from providing training and advice to creating a complete research software. 
Unfortunately, while it is clear that software has become a predominant part of the scientific process, as found out by different surveys [1,2], the true impact of the RSE is sometimes hard to evidence. This lack of evidence is in part because purely scientific publications tend to leave little place for the software part of the research process while favouring the scientific results themselves.
In 2016, the Journal of Open Source Software [JOSS] was created to tackle this issue. JOSS is a peer reviewed academic journal created with the objective of publishing papers about the research software themselves, giving the RSE world a perfect route for impact. Since its creation, JOSS has published more than 2400 papers in multiple scientific domains supporting works on complex modelling problems, research experiments and instruments, software libraries, etc...
In this walkthrough, we give an overview of the types of submissions published in JOSS and demonstrate the full life-cycle of the JOSS process, from the submission of the software and paper, to the review process and the final publication. We will explain both sides of the coin: the submitter and reviewer's point of views.

description: The prevalence of secondary tricuspid regurgitation (TR) increases with ageing, but the exact mechanisms and the pattern of tricuspid valve (TV) remodelling are yet to be defined. This knowledge is needed to guide patient selection for the evolving therapeutic options. We sought to explore the prevalence and predictors of secondary TR in the elderly, as well as the associated pattern of right-heart chamber and TV remodelling. Consecutive older subjects (60-year-old or older) were prospectively enrolled and detailed analysis of right-heart chambers and TV was conducted (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05784883). TR severity was defined based on a multiparametric approach. Out of 213 patients (age, 67.1 ± 5.9 years, 52.6% female), 48.8% had mild and 15.5% had moderate-severe TR. The frequency of moderate-severe TR increased from 4.5% in those without to 32.9% in those with underlying abnormalities of the left/right heart. There was a significant trend of worsening right-heart chamber and TV remodelling across the three grades of TR severity (none-trace, mild, and moderate-severe; p-value for linear trend < 0.001). ROC curve-defined cut-points of TV remodelling parameters predicting moderate-severe TR were annular dilatation ≥3.75 cm (AUC: 0.74), tenting area ≥1.45 cm2 (AUC: 0.67), and leaflet length ≥2.25 cm (AUC: 0.61) with increasing frequency of moderate-severe TR from 7.2% through 64.7%, in those with none vs. all three criteria (p < 0.001). The most important correlate of the three TV remodelling parameters was right ventricular and atrial (RV and RA) dilatation. Rather than ageing per se, the presence of underlying cardiac abnormalities determines the frequency of moderate-severe TR. Progressive remodelling of right-heart chambers and TV geometry starts with the development of mild TR. TA dilatation, increased tenting, and leaflet elongation are three important correlates of the development of TR that parallel progressive RV and RA dilatation.

description: When and how does an environmental protest cycle affect election outcomes under electoral authoritarianism? Drawing on the case of the Bashkortostan republic, a Russian ethnic region, I leverage the spatial proximity to the protest site to identify its effects on parliamentary elections. The environmental protest cycle peaked in Bashkortostan around the regional government’s decisions to extract minerals from shikhans – mountains composed of limestone. Employing a difference-in-differences (DiD) design, I show that precincts exposed to the environmental protest cycle experienced a significant drop in United Russia vote share, while voting for systemic opposition increased in the affected precincts. To explain the dynamics, I propose treating non-political protests, such as environmental ones, as an information revelation mechanism. The mechanism identified through a causal mediation analysis indicates that the environmental protest cycle conveys information on regional malperformance to voters. Their updated preferences, in turn, heavily undermine the electoral mobilizing capacity of local elites.

description: This study investigates how the structures of ruling and opposition political parties in dictatorships relate to party strategies and authoritarian regime survival. We focus on two key dimensions of party structures: organizational strength and concentration of power in the leadership. We argue that organizational strength will encourage party reliance on clientelism, while concentration of power in the leadership will lead to party reliance on coercion. Using cross-national data from 1970 to 2019 that capture features of political parties, we find support for our expectations. We also explore how the structural and strategic nature of parties bear on autocratic breakdown. Our analysis reveals, among other patterns, that organizational strength in opposition parties is associated with more vulnerable authoritarian rule, a relationship mediated by the opposition party’s reliance on clientelism. This study therefore improves understanding of authoritarian political parties and their consequences, shedding light on many potential avenues for future research.
Utilising the flexible simulation software REvoSim for advanced evolutionary and ecological modelling

Year: 2024
Subjects: rse

description: The study of ecological trends and the mechanisms which drive them are pivotal for advancing our understanding of biodiversity and ecosystem functions. While traditional field studies are invaluable, they often face limitations due to the complexity and scale of natural systems. Computational models, such as REvoSim, offer a versatile platform for simulating ecological interactions and evolutionary trajectories, with exceptional flexibility in parameter manipulation. This allows for the detailed modulation of environmental conditions, behaviours of the digital organisms, and their interactions. 
This poster aims to demonstrate how REvoSim can be utilised to replicate real-world ecological trends and delve into the driving forces behind these patterns. The research specifically explored the impact of predation on species diversity across varying levels of environmental heterogeneity. The results of the simulation supported empirical data produced in field studies and further investigation aimed to explain why this phenomena occurs. 
By highlighting the capabilities of this software, this poster aims to showcase REvoSim's potential as a powerful tool for ecological and evolutionary research, offering the ability to test hypotheses and predict outcomes in a controlled yet dynamic digital system.

description: The rise of authoritarian-style strong leaders in democracies has prompted scholars to question the change in public support for democracy. However, existing studies have often misunderstood this shift by erroneously equating support for authoritarian strong leaders with a rejection of democracy. They thus fail to recognize the growing public support for both, a conception of democracy termed guardianship democracy. This conception reconceptualizes democracy, viewing strong leaders as necessary for the effective functioning of democracy. By differentiating these two distinct supports for authoritarian-style strong leadership in democracies  – authoritarianism and guardianship democracy, we reexamine the impact of factors believed to increase public support for authoritarian leadership. Our analysis, utilizing data from the World Values Survey spanning from Wave 3 to Wave 7, reveals that authoritarianism and guardianship democracy supporters share several common factors that bolster their political convictions. However, two notable differences emerge. First, higher confidence in the elected government and political parties is only associated with guardianship democracy supporters. Second, lower trust in parliament is associated with authoritarianism supporters, but not with guardianship democracy supporters.
Socialism's legacy: the impact of political socialization on citizens’ conceptions of democracy

description: Political culture literature asserts that congruence between the existing democratic system and citizens’ views and expectations of democracy is crucial for democratic stability. Consequently, citizens’ conceptions of democracy not only influence political attitudes or vote choice, but also the endurance of democracy. For the German case, research has shown that differences in political socialization in East and West have caused differences in what conceptions of democracy citizens hold, suggesting that attitudes of young generations socialized in re-unified Germany are converging. However, persistent disparities between East and West and a surge in support for the right-wing populist AfD, especially in East Germany, raise the questions of how sustainable political socialization effects are, and how a populist conception of democracy might be related to political socialization. Using ESS 10 data, the article tests cohort effects on a liberal, a social democratic, and a populist understanding of democracy in Germany. The results show that cohorts socialized in a socialist system are more committed to a socialist, but also to a populist conception of democracy, while attitudes of young people are indeed converging.

description: Electoral shocks have spillover effects in democracies, as they can change citizens’ political attitudes and political behaviour across national borders. Yet, electoral shocks also exist in non-democratic regimes. Do electoral shocks likewise lead to spillover within a non-democratic regime? To explore this question, I build on Lohmann’s idea of information cascade and study the spillover of the 2019 Hong Kong local election, in which the opposition won a landslide victory. Using a survey fielded in Macau during this event, I find liberalizing effects among middle-class citizens: after the electoral shock, their democratic commitment increases while their perceived electoral fairness decreases. Conversely, lower-class citizens experience backlash effects as they assess the electoral system more positively and briefly consider democracy as less important. However, these changes in political attitudes do not translate into changes in expressed vote choice and other types of political participation. Regarding the mechanism of the attitudinal change, I suggest such polarized reactions are related to the different information consumption among the two classes. I discuss how these findings contribute to the literature on non-democratic regimes, electoral shocks, and class politics.

Tenucephalus marginellus DeLong, 1944: 236 [original description, illustration, morphology]; Linnavuori, 1957: 141–142 [description, illustration]; Linnavuori & DeLong, 1976: 30 [illustrated]; Linnavuori & DeLong, 1978: 196, 211–212 [diagnostic characters; morphology; illustrated]; Zanol, 2006: 100 [catalogue]; Zahniser, 2007 [online catalogue]; Freytag & Gaiani, 2017 [online catalogue]
Diagnosis. T. marginellus can be distinguished from other Tenucephalus species by a combination of the typical col- or pattern, male pygofer processes with distinct medial tooth near midlength and with minute marginal teeth at apex, subgenital plates short, broadly rounded at apex, style apophysis apex widened apically, not foot-like, and aedeagus in lateral view very narrow, long, and evenly curved throughout length. Male, 4.2 mm; female, 4.25–5.0 mm.
Material examined. 5♀, MEXICO: Guerrero, Iguala, 25-X-1941, DeLong, Caldwell & Plummer [OSUC].
Distribution. The species is known from the type locality of Iguala, GRO, Mexico, which is the northernmost record for any species in the genus (Fig. 10).
Remarks. T. marginellus is the type species of the genus and it was described and illustrated by DeLong (1944). Linnavuori & DeLong (1976) provided more detailed illustrations of the male genitalia. Linnavuori & DeLong (1978) provided additional illustrations of the female sternite VII.

description: Four polyhydroxyalkanes were isolated from the CH2Cl2 part of Pachysandra terminalis, including two new ones, (2S,3E)-3-isopropylpent-3-ene-1,2,5-triol (1) and (4R,2E)-4,5-dihydroxy-2,3-dimethylpent-2-enoic acid (2); as well as one new natural product, 3-methylbut-3-ene-1,2-diol (3) and one known compound, 4-methyl-3-methylenepentane-1,2-diol (4). The structures were determined by physicochemical properties and spectroscopic methods including 1D, 2D NMR, IR, HR-ESI-MS, and ECD data. The cytotoxic activity of compounds against the human cancer lines A549, H460, and HepG2 cell lines of the isolated compounds was evaluated by the CCK8 method. However, compounds did not show significant activity.

(Figs. 72–73, 85)
Diagnosis. T. misiones can be distinguished from other species in the genus by a combination of the – interstinctus color pattern, pygofer without dorsal process, style apophysis with small preapical heel, arms of connective diverging posteriorly, and apices of basal processes of connective-aedeagus truncate with pointed tips directed laterally.
Body. Male, 4.1–4.2 mm. Female, 4.6 mm to wing apex.
Color. Generally pale lemon yellow, more or less with the – interstinctus color pattern; crown, pronotum and scutellum yellow with diffuse orange coloration; forewing with distinct brown spot at apex of brachial cell, with or without smaller brown spots at bases and apices of other forewing cells.
Male. Pygofer somewhat depressed, not robust; with 8–12 macrosetae dorsoapically; without dorsal or apical processes. Valve large, triangular, longer than wide. Subgenital plate with single row of 8–10 macrosetae laterally, with some other long, thin setae. Style preapical angle lobelike, roundedly angulate; apophysis curving laterad, tapering to pointed apex, with small tuberculate preapical heel, with some tuberculate texture.. Connective arms diverging from each other before meeting aedeagus. Connective-aedeagus with symmetrical pair of processes fused near aedeagal base, processes slightly longer than aedeagus, in ventral view, slightly bowed throughout length, meeting apically, apices truncate with pointed tip directed laterally. Aedeagus regularly curved throughout; gonopore preapical on ventral side; with ornate apex resembling head of a duck in lateral view. Phragma with bulbous lobes relatively small.

description: Do democratic transitions affect citizens’ subsequent support for democracy? We propose that the type of democratic transition (citizen-centered vs elite-centered) shapes citizens’ support for democracy through the investment created by citizen participation in the transition and the expectations this generates about the future under democracy. We test our hypotheses using democratic transitions data from Geddes et al. (2014) and harmonized survey data of citizens’ support for democracy from nearly 500,000 respondents in 78 established and new democracies over the period 1946–2015. Our results show a consistent negative effect of elite-centered transitions on support for democracy, while the effects of citizen-centered transitions are less robust and much more context-dependent. Using an augmented difference-in-difference estimation we can underpin these findings by isolating the causal effect of transitions. Our results indicate the political socialization effect and long-lasting impact of major political events on individuals’ democratic attitudes.

description: Vagabundia n. gen.
Diagnosis. With the characteristics of the family and subfamily as described by Cook (1974). Vagabundia n. gen. belongs to the ‘ Axonopsella -like’ group of water mites (Cook, op.cit). Body flattened. Dorsal and ventral shields present, not fused. Capitulum separated from the coxae. Coxae extending far beyond anterior end of body. Tips of first pair of coxae pointed. Suture line between first and second coxae meeting and continuing posteriorly as a long median suture line between the other coxae. Fourth coxae with marked posterior suture and with rounded projection that partially covers the insertion of the IV-Leg. Other coxae suture lines incomplete. A ridge present on each side extending anterolaterally and posterolaterally from processes in the IVcoxae. Genital field obliterated. Gonopore opening small and located near middle of body. Four pair of genital acetabula. Gonopore subterminal. Two pairs of small glandularia placed close together laterally near posterior end of fourth coxae. Capitulum with a long pointed rostrum. Setae on capitulum small. Sexual dimorphism in distal segments and claw of II-Leg, and third and fourth segments of IV-Leg male.

Diagnosis. LabIum present wIth One pOInted end; carpus Of gnathOpOd 1 and 2 wIth nOtch In the Inner sIde, the carpus Of gnathOpOd 1 has three spInes, the prOxImal One Is On the tOp Of a fInger-shaped prOcess In the Inner sIde; prOpOdus In bOth gnathOpOds wIth fInger-shaped prOcess at Its dIstal end, wIth a tIny spIne and a seta; the carpus Of gnathOpOd 2 bears just twO spInes; pereIOpOds 3–7 dIssImIlar; urOpOd 2 larger than urOpOd 1; lack Of lentIcular Organs; sexual dImOrphIsm In the shape Of pleOpOds and In the setatIOn Of urOpOds 1 and 2.
Etymology. The generIc name refers tO a natIve pOpulatIOn InhabItIng these hIlls called «yacana-cunnees». ThIs name Is alsO lInked tO the Andean mythOlOgy and evOkes the relatIOnshIp between the «llamas», the «alpacas» and the water, attrIbutIng the creatIOn Of sprIngs and lakes tO these SOuth AmerIcan camelIds.
Remarks. The presence Of a labIum, whIch has pOInted ends that cOrrespOnd tO what RuffO (1985) descrIbed In Stygobarnardia as an Output glandular duct Is alsO hIghlIghted. GrIffIths (1991) descrIbed In Proleleupia a labIum wIth a sIngle small sharp tOOth, whIch wOuld cOrrespOnd tO the pOInted ends we Observed In Yacana n. gen. In thIs new genera can be Observed a glandular draInage tO the pOInted ends (FIg. 2 F). BOth gnathOpOds have at the dIstal ends Of the fInger shaped prOpOdus a large seta and a tIny spIne On them. Yacana n. gen. has nOtches Or pOckets In Its gnathOpOds, whIle Proleleupia exhIbIt a pOcket Only In the fIrst paIr and Trogloleleupia a “depressIOn sellIfOrme” In the secOnd One; furthermOre, In Yacana n. gen. the pOcket Of gnathOpOd 1 Is assOcIated wIth a spIne (RuffO 1985; GrIffIths 1991). Carpus wIth a pOcket Or nOtch had been descrIbed In a few specIes Of Ingolfiella, lIke I. moluccensis VOnk & Jaume, 2013 and I. arganoi IanIllI & VOnk, 2013. PereIOpOds are dIssImIlar, all Of them wIth setae and a termInal claw; pereIOpOds 7 dIffer frOm the Others In sIze, number and arrangement Of theIr setae. ThIs taxOn has sexual dImOrphIsm clearly denOted In the pleOpOds and at the amOunt Of rOws Of setae In urOpOd 2, because In females was Observed a quIte larger number Of rOws than males. It Is stIll tO be fOund, In further studIes, If thIs dIfference In setatIOn wOuld be due tO the number Of ecdysIs InvOlved.
