Data Communities: Data Sharing from the Ground Up
Creators: name: Cooper, Danielle
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: This talk proposes a new mechanism for conceptualizing and supporting STEM research data sharing. Successful data sharing happens within data communities, formal or informal groups of scholars who share a certain type of data with each other, regardless of disciplinary boundaries. Drawing on the findings of four large-scale qualitative studies of research practices conducted by Ithaka S+R and academic library partners, as well as the scholarly literature, the talk explores what constitutes a data community and outline its most important features by studying success stories, investigating the circumstances under which intensive data sharing is already happening.

description: This thesis examines the motivations behind the advocates and detractors of the Indianapolis Anti-Pornography Ordinance of 1984. It will examine how and why Indianapolis Conservatives, who opposed pornography due to its perceived moral implications, joined forces with a radical feminist to create an ordinance outlawing pornography that utilized the radical feminist argument of pornography’s potential violence. It will explain the national divide between radical and liberal feminists on the issue of pornography and how this is reflected on a local scale through the methods of Indianapolis feminists to contend with violence against women. Through interviews with those associated with the ordinance, it will broaden the understanding of the sides in the debate and how the ordinance was defeated. This thesis will also demonstrate that while the ordinance ultimately failed to be enforced after being signed into law by Mayor Hudnut, it marked a significant moment in not only Indianapolis but the Nation’s history and helped change the course of the pornography debate.

description: In this paper, we introduce a novel algorithm that can dramatically reduce the number of antenna elements needed to accurately predict the direction of arrival (DOA) for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar. The new proposed algorithm predicts the received signal of a large antenna setup using reduced number of antenna by using coupled dictionary learning. Hence, this enables the MIMO radar to resolve more paths, which could not be resolved by the fewer antennas. Specifically, we overcome the problem of inaccurate DOA estimation due to a small virtual array setup. For example, we can use dictionary learning to predict 100 virtual array elements using only 25. To evaluate our algorithm, we used multiple signal classification (MUSIC) as a DOA estimation technique to estimate the DOA for non coherent multiple targets. The results show that using the predicted received signal, the proposed algorithm could resolve all the targets in the scene, which could not been resolved using only the received signal from the reduced antenna setup.

description: We introduce a new coupling potential to explain the experimental data for the $^{12}$C+$^{24}$Mg system at numerous energies in the laboratory system from 16.0 MeV to 24.0 MeV. This new coupled-channels based approach involves replacing the usual first derivative coupling potential by a new, second-derivative coupling potential. This paper first shows and discusses the limitation of the standard coupled-channels theory in the case where one of the nuclei in the reaction is strongly deformed. Then, this new approach is shown to improve consistently the agreement with the experimental data and has made major improvement on all the previous coupled-channels calculations for this system.

description: A commented check-list of the tachinid species inhabiting the Canary Islands (Spain) is provided, with special emphasis on hosts species and floral resources. Nine new local records are provided and Cylindromyia rufipes is reported for the first time for the Canary Islands, thus increasing the species number to 52. Zoogeographic analysis of the area revealed that there are differences in chorotype composition among islands, with the easternmost islands being richer in Mediterranean species and poorer in endemics. These differences may be due to ecological differences between the easternmost island and the remaining islands. Relevance regarding influence of tachinid as pollinators is discussed.

description: This poster will discuss whether Open Science should use more ‘sci-tainment’ styles and make its principles and practices more accessible through different mediums for Open Science education and science communication to the broad public. In order to make this discussion concrete we will use the ORION Open Science podcast that the ORION Open Science EU funded project and the Max-Delbrück-Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association (MDC) has produced and presented for nearly two years as a case study with almost 50 episodes that are free and openly available for listeners all over the world. This poster would discuss how the podcast has functioned as an example of best practice when creating Open Science education for a broad audience. Open Science training and communication has sometimes been accused of being insular or missionary, the ‘scitainment’ format of the podcast offers one alternative approach. It explores talking with experts and advocates to dive into detailed subjects and topics of Open Science using interest and conversation to not only educate but also entertain. While there has been a huge upsurge in the number of podcasts available, especially since the pandemic, it is important to consider how the medium relates to Open Science specifically. The poster would highlight the advantages of the podcast as a communication medium for Open Science. These include the benefit of getting differing viewpoints that may not usually get to have a voice in the Open Science movement, for example controversial citizen scientists or Open Science practitioners from outside of Europe. The poster will also show how the podcast can be used to raise awareness for researchers and the Open Science community of new tools and initiatives.

description: This study provides a micro perspective on the impact that mobile money services have on an individual’s saving behavior using 2013 Uganda FinScope data. The results show that although saving through mobile phones is not a common practice in Uganda, being a registered mobile money user increases the likelihood of saving with mobile money. Using mobile money to save is more prevalent in urban areas and in the central region than in other regions. This can be explained by several factors. First, rural dwellers on average tend to have lower incomes and thus have a lower propensity to save compared with their urban counterparts. Second, poor infrastructure in rural areas in terms of the lack of electricity and poor telecommunication network coverage may limit the use of mobile phones and consequently the use of mobile money as a saving mechanism. Overall, the use of mobile money as a saving mechanism is still very low, which could be partly explained by legal limitations that do not incorporate mobile finance services into mobile money. The absence of interest payments on mobile money savings may also act as a disincentive to save through this mechanism. Given the emerging mobile banking services, there is need to create greater awareness and to enhance synergies between telecoms companies and commercial banks.

description: Access to high-quality and continuous education is a fundamental right for all children, including those affected by conflict and protracted crises. Yet despite ongoing efforts, significant barriers to access, quality and continuity of education remain. In this paper, we apply a conceptual framework recently developed as part of the Education Research in Conflict and Protracted Crises (ERICC) project to carry out a systematic review of evidence about the state of education in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, where education delivery to conflict-affected Rohingya communities remains particularly challenging. Following an ERICC-informed analysis of 127 studies, we identify critical knowledge gaps in existing evidence: there is little to no evidence for what works; data on access, and on the quality and continuity of education are lacking; and few studies provide analysis at policy systems level. This is a significant concern since these gaps limit the ability of existing evidence to ensure that the new policy shift to the Myanmar curriculum delivers high-quality education in Cox’s Bazar. The implications of these findings provide national stakeholders, development agencies, and their partners with a comprehensive understanding of the analytical work taking place on the ground.

description: We offer a theoretical and experimental study of the single-photon photoionization of Ne III. The high photon flux and the high-resolution capabilities of the Advanced Light Source at the LBNL were employed to measure absolute photoionization cross sections. The resulting spectrum has been benchmarked against high accuracy relativistic Breit-Pauli $R$-matrix calculations. A large close-coupling wave function expansion which comprises up to 58 fine-structure levels of the residual ion Ne IV of configurations $2s^22p^3$, $2s2p^4$, $2p^5$, $2s^22p^23s$, $2s^22p^23p$ and $2s^22p^23d$ was included. A complete identification of the measured features was achieved by considering seven low-lying levels of Ne III. We found that the photoionization cross-section ($σ_{PI}$) exhibits the presence of prominent resonances in the low-energy region near the ionization thresholds that correspond to low-lying levels. These include high-peak narrow resonances with almost zero background introduced by relativistic effects. However, there does not exist a significant contribution to $σ_{PI}$ from relativistic effects at the high-energy interval of the present study.

Abstract Prophylactic treatment with aprotinin, a haemostatic antifibrinolytic agent, is indicated to reduce blood loss and blood transfusion in adults with a high risk of major bleeding undergoing primary or repeat isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass. Overall, aprotinin was consistently more effective than tranexamic acid, ε-aminocaproic acid, desmopressin and placebo in reducing massive blood loss, the need for transfusions of blood products, and the need for reoperation due to diffuse bleeding in trials in this patient population, and was generally well-tolerated. The approval of aprotinin in the EU was reinstated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2012, following subsequent analysis of the clinical data that led to its suspension in 2007. The EMA analysis concluded that the reduction in massive bleeding provided by aprotinin in patients undergoing isolated CABG is clinically relevant, as it reduces complications, the need for blood product transfusions and the length of hospital stay, without increasing mortality. The relaunch of aprotinin was accompanied by a risk management to assess the pattern of use and safety of aprotinin in clinical practice. Data from centres enrolled in the Nordic Aprotinin Patient Registry are being collected and will be assessed in the final report.

description: The aim of the study is to assess the impact of robot service on hotel guest experiences. Application of technology in tourism and hospitality services is growing each day. Using robots in hospitality establishment is becoming more and more popular, mainly because it can help cut down the labor costs, increase efficiency and reduce human contacts. Very few studies, however, have been done on examining customer experience regarding robots used in the hotel. Social media sites such as TripAdvisor are popular platforms where people share their first-hand experiences. Hence, this study focuses on studying the reviews of robotic hotels. Using the software Leximancer, reviews were studied and categorized in different themes to understand if the presence of the robot would create positive or negative experience for customers. The sample of the study included total of 2383 reviews related to robotic hotels from TripAdvisor from January 2011 to October 2020. The findings highlighted the major themes as Room, Robot, Hotel and Staff and their relationship with the ratings. It also provided insights into the contribution of robot service to consumer’s hotel experiences.

description: We present high-resolution imaging in the rest-frame optical of the weak radio source LBDS53W091. Previous optical spectroscopy has shown that this object has an evolved stellar population of age >3Gyr at z=1.55, determined from the amplitude of rest-frame UV spectral breaks. We have obtained deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging over 10 orbits with NICMOS camera 2, using the F160W H-band filter (1.6microns) which is a good approximation to the rest-frame R-band. Our observations reveal a radial light profile which is well fit by a de Vaucouleurs' r^{1/4} law, with a scale length of r_e=0.3" (3kpc/h_{50} for Omega_M=0.3 and Omega_{Lambda}=0). The elliptical morphology of the radio galaxy indicates a dynamically-evolved old system, consistent with the spectroscopic results. Some surrounding objects lie on the color:magnitude relation for a cluster at z=1.55, and are likely to be associated. The group of galaxies are somewhat more luminous than the fundamental plane of ellipticals at z=0 subject to (1+z)^4 surface brightness dimming, but are consistent with estimates of the fundamental plane at high redshift subject to passive luminosity evolution from a formation epoch of z>3.

description: West Palearctic bumblebees are common wildflowers and crop pollinators that are well studied in their central and northern distribution ranges, but fewer information is available on their southern distribution areas. Lebanon falls on the southern limit of their distribution and no published information is available on the local bumblebees. Our study aims to produce a data baseline of the local bumblebee species. In order to do so we grouped available old records of bumblebees in Lebanon with recent author collections and produced preliminary distribution maps. We listed four species: Bombus terrestris, B. argillaceus, B. niveatus vorticosus and B. melanurus. Preliminary distribution shows that Bombus terrestris and B. argillaceus are widespread and have a large foraging range, whereas B. niveatus vorticosus and B. melanurus have a restricted distribution to altitudes above 1800 m with a smaller foraging range. The male cephalic labial gland secretions analysis of local Bombus terrestris specimens provides preliminary evidence that the local subspecies could be Bombus terrestris calabricus. Therefore, we highlight the importance of regulating foreign Bombus terrestris subspecies importation for agriculture purposes, as well as monitoring B. niveatus vorticosus and B. melanurus that are rendered vulnerable by their isolated populations.

description: The ion-electron coupling properties for a ion impurity in an electron gas and for a two component plasma are carried out on the basis of a regularized electron-ion potential removing the short-range Coulomb divergence. This work is largely motivated by the study of radiator dipole relaxation in plasmas which makes a real link between models and experiments. Current radiative property models for plasmas include single electron collisions neglecting charge-charge correlations within the classical quasi-particle approach commonly used in this field. The dipole relaxation simulation based on electron-ion molecular dynamics proposed here will provide means to benchmark and improve model developments. Benefiting from a detailed study of a single ion imbedded in an electron plasma, the challenging two-component ion-electron molecular dynamics simulations are proven accurate. They open new possibilities to obtain reference lineshape data.

description: This paper contributes to a growing strand of literature on the determinants of tax revenue performance in developing countries, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. More specifically we estimate the tax elasticities of sectoral output growth and public expenditure. The unique features of this paper are twofold: First we develop a simple analytical model for tax revenue performance taking into account some structural features pervasive in most developing countries with large informal sectors. Second we test the model predictions on Ugandan time series data using ARDL bounds testing techniques. Results indicate that dominance of the agricultural and informal sectors pose the largest impediments to tax revenue performance. In addition development expenditures, trade openness, and industrial sector growth are positively associated with tax revenue performance. We propose policies to support the development of value added linkages between agricultural and industrial sectors while emphasizing the need to unlock the potentially large contributions of the informal sector with a view of widening the tax base.

description: Materials suitable for magnonic crystals demand low magnetic damping and long spin wave (SW) propagation distance. In this context Co based Heusler compounds are ideal candidates for magnonic based applications. In this work, antidot arrays (with different shapes) of epitaxial $\mathrm{Co}_2\mathrm{Fe}_{0.4}\mathrm{Mn}_{0.6}\mathrm{Si}$ (CFMS) Heusler alloy thin films have been prepared using e-beam lithography and sputtering technique. Magneto-optic Kerr effect and ferromagnetic resonance analysis have confirmed the presence of dominant cubic and moderate uniaxial magnetic anisotropies in the thin films. Domain imaging via x-ray photoemission electron microscopy on the antidot arrays reveals chain like switching or correlated bigger domains for different shape of the antidots. Time-resolved MOKE microscopy has been performed to study the precessional dynamics and magnonic modes of the antidots with different shapes. We show that the optically induced spin-wave spectra in such antidot arrays can be tuned by changing the shape of the holes. The variation in internal field profiles, pinning energy barrier, and anisotropy modifies the spin-wave spectra dramatically within the antidot arrays with different shapes. We further show that by combining the magnetocrystalline anisotropy with the shape anisotropy, an extra degree of freedom can be achieved to control the magnonic modes in such antidot lattices.

description: Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a frequent prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2D) complication. Multiple clinical studies reveal that obesity and dyslipidemia can also drive PN progression, independent of glycemia. These clinical observations suggest a complex interplay of specific metabolite and/or lipid species may underlie PN. To address this, we completed plasma metabolomic and lipidomic profiling of a population with mean class 3 obesity with (n=44) and without PN (n=44), matched for glycemic status, versus lean non-neuropathic controls (n=43). Lean versus obese comparisons, regardless of PN status, identified the most significant changes in gamma-glutamyl and branched-chain amino acid metabolism from global metabolomics analysis and triacylglycerols from lipidomics. Stratification by PN status within obese individuals identified changes in polyamine, purine biosynthesis, and benzoate metabolism. Lipidomics found diacylglycerols as the most significant sub-pathway distinguishing obese individuals by PN status, with additional contributions from phosphatidylcholines, sphingomyelins, ceramides, and dihydroceramides. Stratifying the obese cohort by glycemic status did not affect separation by PN status. These results suggest obesity may be as strong a PN driver as prediabetes or T2D in individuals with class 3 obesity, at least by plasma metabolomics and lipidomics profile. In summary, both metabolic and complex lipid pathways can differentiate obese individuals with and without PN, independent of glycemic status.

description: Recent natural resource discoveries in East Africa provide an enormous opportunity for development. We focus on oil discoveries in Uganda and their expected impact on government revenues. We analyze alternative spending policies of natural resource revenues using a calibrated dynamic, stochastic, general equilibrium model (DSGE). We use detailed publicly-available information on the upstream oil sector and the fiscal regime to derive realistic cost and government revenue profiles across a range of oil price scenarios. This enables us to project annual production, fixed and variable costs, and government revenues for given global oil price paths. We compare the potential effects of income transfers versus public investment spending, as well as front-loaded versus gradual public investment policies. We also assess the impacts of alternative assumptions on the efficiency of public investment due to constraints on absorptive capacity. In terms of economic welfare, income transfers dominate public investments (whether gradual or front-loaded) given the typically low discount factors for households in low-income developing countries. Similarly, front-loaded investment policies dominate gradual investment policies given the low discount factors. However, our simulations show that as individuals care more about the future (i.e. have a lower discount rate), the welfare order of policies change, as the productivity effect of public investment produces a higher increase in consumption and welfare even though this increase is lagged in time.

description: We consider two measures of entanglement, the logarithmic negativity and the entanglement entropy, between regions of space in excited states of many-body systems formed by a finite number of particle excitations. In parts I and II of the current series of papers, it has been shown in one-dimensional free-particle models that, in the limit of large system's and regions' sizes, the contribution from the particles is given by the entanglement of natural qubit states, representing the uniform distribution of particles in space. We show that the replica logarithmic negativity and Rényi entanglement entropy of such qubit states are equal to the partition functions of certain graphs, that encode the connectivity of the manifold induced by permutation twist fields. Using this new connection to graph theory, we provide a general proof, in the massive free boson model, that the qubit result holds in any dimensionality, and for any regions' shapes and connectivity. The proof is based on clustering and the permutation-twist exchange relations, and is potentially generalisable to other situations, such as lattice models, particle and hole excitations above generalised Gibbs ensembles, and interacting integrable models.

description: This paper aims at exploring the educational potential of gamification in teaching German as a Foreign Language (GFL)by developing, implementing and evaluating a gamified, technology-assisted language course. An exploratory researchwas conducted to examine the affordances of the Moodle App to support a gamified language programme. Students(n=39) from a Dutch pre-vocational secondary school enrolled in the six-week gamified German A1 course calledMISSION BERLIN, using the open-source learning platform Moodle and its app. Data collection methods includesemi-structured focus group interviews, and interaction logs from the Moodle environment. Results indicate that theMoodle app is not suitable for a full gamified language programme, however, it can support a gamified language course.

Vzniká nový standard sledování pořadů, který stále více vytlačuje tradiční televizní vysílání. Aby ČT zůstala v tomto světě relevantním médiem, musí se inovovat uvnitř i navenek. Jak jsme v průběhu dvou dekád budovali největší českou videoplatformu? Které výzvy jsme překonali úspěšně a na jakých jsme si natloukli nos? Obojí je skvělou zkušeností, o kterou se s vámi rád podělím.
FAIR and open wind energy data

description: Irregular and increasing emissions of greenhouse gases in recent years are the most important cause of global warming and climate change. Rising temperatures, along with climate change, will inevitably hurt economic activity and international trade, and consequently on the quality of human life. So reducing GHGs is a high priority goal worldwide. In recent years, research groups around the world have been examining the forces that are transforming the production, demand, and impact of the energy industry. This research focuses on profound changes in technology and energy resources, which may revolutionize the energy system and create opportunities with significant challenges. The size and scope of today's energy systems are so vast that research in this field requires modern data management methods and reliable databases. With the goal that they should be findable and re-usable for downstream investigations, alone or with a combination of newly generated data. Wind energy is one of the sources of renewable energy and a good alternative to fossil fuels. The presentation will discuss the quality of wind data from a FAIR point of view. FAIR is not limited to its four principles, it must also comprise appropriate openness, the accessibility of data, long-term stewardship, and other relevant features. The definition of FAIR and Open data will be clarified and the current ontology of wind energy databases, which can be called “semantic tools for knowledge representation”, will be shortly analyzed. The main objective is to find different types of wind data and describe them, provide wind energy planners, designers, and researchers, as well as the international wind engineering community in general. This topic has several dimensions: What kinds of data are needed in this industry? What is the current capture of wind data in ontology? Overall assessment of several wind energy open databases like Equinor HYWIND Scotland Windfarm (Norway), ENGIE’s first open data windfarm (France), and Ørsted Offshore Operational Data (Denmark) Also, discussion about current practices and future directions of open, data-driven energy system research, drawing from a review of on-going practices and discussions in the European energy research community with a focus on wind energy data. . The review includes an assessment and synthesis of current publication practices, projects, databases, and existing networks and initiatives. Overview of data research in Norway and introduction to data management plan including: Roles and responsibility, Legal and ethical issues and Policies about reusing data, data quality and data description, storage and long-term preservation of data. The presentation concludes by outlining a roadmap and also linking to on-going open data initiatives at the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA).

description: In this paper we propose a non-minimal, and ghost free, coupling between the gauge field and the fermionic one from which we obtain, perturbatively, terms with higher order derivatives as quantum corrections to the photon effective action in the low energy regime. We calculate the one-loop effective action of the photon field and show that, in addition to the Euler-Heisenberg terms, the well known Lee-Wick term, $\sim F_{μν}\partial_α\partial^αF^{μν}$, arises in low energy regime as a quantum correction from the model. We also obtain the electron self energy in leading order.
