description: Open government data (OGD) are critical for environmental justice (EJ) policymaking, which is characterized by power and information asymmetries across government agencies, affected populations, and advocacy groups. We contend that not only should state governments provide OGD but also they should remove the burden associated with data access and use it to address the data divide and facilitate the participation of vulnerable populations in policymaking. Applying a user-oriented approach, this article evaluates the completeness, usability, and accessibility of EJ-OGD initiatives across the 50 US states. Results show that only one out of five states achieves at least half points on our EJ-OGD Implementation Score, suggesting that most states do not provide OGD to answer two core EJ questions: “To what extent is my community exposed to environmental harm and health hazards? Is the exposure disproportionately high given my community's socioeconomic characteristics?” We discuss implications for equity and next steps for the government. Il rilascio di dati governativi in formato aperto (open data) è essenziale per l'adozione di politiche di giustizia ambientale. Queste ultime sono spesso influenzate dalle asimmetrie informative e dai rapporti di forza in essere tra enti governativi, gruppi di interesse e società civile. Il presente articolo asserisce che per favorire la partecipazione delle popolazioni più vulnerabili al processo legislativo, i governi non solo dovrebbero rilasciare i loro dati in formato aperto ma dovrebbero rimuovere le barriere che ne ostacolano l'accesso e fruibilità. A tal scopo, gli autori presentano un indice volto a misurare la completezza, fruibilità, e accessibilità delle iniziative di open data per la giustizia ambientale nei 50 stati americani (USA). I risultati mostrano che solo un quinto degli stati ottiene almeno metà dei punti possibili e che un cittadino medio sarebbe raramente in grado di usare gli open data per rispondere a due domande critiche per avanzare politiche di giustizia ambientale: “Quanto è esposta la mia communita’ al rischio di danno ambientale e sanitario? Tale esposizione è proporzionata alle caratteristiche socioeconomiche della mia comunità?” L'articolo si conclude discutendo le implicazioni dei risultati ottenuti e proponendo alcuni primi passi che le agenzie governative potrebbero intraprendere per migliorare i loro open data. 开放政府数据对于环境正义的政策制定十分重要。环境正义政策制定的过程反映了政府机构、受影响人群和利益集团之间的权力差异与信息不对称。本文论辩美国州政府不仅应该提供开放政府数据，而且它们应该移除与数据的可及和使用相关的障碍，从而解决数据鸿沟的问题和协助弱势群体参与政策制定。从数据使用者的角度出发，本文评估了美国50个州关于环境正义开放政府数据举措的完整性、适用性与可及性程度。分析结果显示只有五分之一的州份达到环境正义开放政府数据执行指数的至少一半分值。此项结果指出大多数州份未能提供有效的开放政府数据来回答围绕环境正义的两个核心问题:“在多大程度上我的社区暴露于环境危害和健康伤害的因素?基于我的社区的社会经济特征，这种暴露的程度是否不成比例?”本文最后讨论了分析结果对平等问题的意义及政府可做的进一步举措。.

description: As one of the concerns of health centers, the health of hospital staff in different clinical and administrative departments can impact the efficiency and productivity of individuals while performing their duties. In addition to improving the health of individuals and organizations, screening them through surveillance and monitoring in various work environments reduces their costs. This increases the importance of medical monitoring and assessment of the health and safety of these employees in relation to encounters, injuries, and diseases related to the workplace. This requires the attention of hospital managers and occupational medicine specialists This poster reviews the map to improve the health of hospital staff, after drawing the market evaluation and selection matrix, which was different from our target market by our personal prediction, we thought that the main target group was doctors, But it seems that according to this matrix, we should pay special attention to the nursing group.

description: The inhalable aerosol sampling criterion has been developed to characterize the efficiency of particles entering the nose and/or mouth. However, pesticides can exist in the air in both vapor and particulate phases, which complicates exposure assessments. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has established an IFV (inhalable fraction and vapor) endnote for chemicals such as many pesticides that need to be evaluated for both their inhalable fraction and vapor concentrations to fully characterize worker exposures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the particle-phase collection efficiency of a commonly-used pesticide sampler, the OSHA Versatile Sampler (OVS) as well as a recently developed sampler, the IFV Pro. The OVS was not designed as an inhalable aerosol sampler, whereas the IFV Pro contains a sampling head scaled to that of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) sampler, which is known to closely follow the inhalable sampling criterion. Laboratory experiments involving a vertical-flow, low-velocity scheme, and finely graded test dusts with known median aerodynamic diameter were used to determine sampler collection efficiencies. The collection efficiency of the OVS was evaluated as recommended by the manufacturer and after two modifications made to potentially improve its collection efficiency. The OVS was found to substantially under-sample relative to the inhalable criterion, and the two modifications did not provide substantial improvements to the original configuration. Conversely, the collection efficiency of the IFV Pro was found to compare closely to that of the IOM, although collecting 9% more mass. When applied side-by-side with the OVS sampler in a chamber into which ethylene glycol was sprayed as a proxy for a pesticide, the IFV Pro collected an average of 1.9-fold more mass than the OVS for the same flow rate and sample time.

COARSE-GRAINED MOLECULAR SIMULATIONS FOR CONFORMATIONAL CHANGES OF TRANSMEMBRANE AND MEMBRANE TRAFFICKING PROTEINS

description: Observation of protein conformational change has been a great challenge in biomolecular research. From the efflux pumping mechanism of the multidrug-resistant protein in gram-negative bacteria to the membrane-bending ability of the C2-domain protein for endothelial exocytosis of drug carrier vesicles across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), operational conformational changes of those proteins are still unclear. Conventional molecular dynamics (MD) simulation can capture interaction details of small molecule groups. However, obtaining conformational change for a big protein system or exceeding simulation time to microseconds is difficult. To maintain the accuracy of all-atom MD simulation and capture a longer dynamic, we use a specific MD simulation combining united-atom proteins and coarse-grained (CG) ambiances to examine the aforementioned antiport efflux pumping and membrane-bending procedures. Simulations for each system are conducted for up to two microseconds. Our results indicate that the conformational change for drug pumping of the multidrug-resistant protein Acriflavine resistance B (AcrB) could be obstructed by a strongly binding inhibitor. By the protonation at transmembrane helices, the binding-state of AcrB porter transits to the extrusion-state to expel the antibiotic drugs or natural substrates. However, the inhibitor-like drug chlorpromazine can interfere with the state transition by binding with a hydrophobic trap inside the distal binding pocket to consequently disrupt the operation of the protonated transmembrane helices. Our research suggests that finding inhibitor-like drugs is an efficient way to fight gram-negative bacteria. In the second study, we found that the C2-domain protein named synaptotagmin-like protein is important for the membrane pre-fusion stage of vesicular exocytosis in the BBB. In more detail, when calcium ions occupy C2-domains’ calcium-binding sites, the protein connects to lipid membranes stronger such that its lipid-binding parts observe a greater abundance of lipid contact. The more synaptotagmin-like proteins surrounding the SNARE complex in the system, the better the membranes significantly bend. The bending causes lipid disorders on both membranes and supports the fusion between them. Thus, synaptotagmin-like protein is found as an important trigger for membrane fusion during vesicular exocytosis in the BBB.

description: In an aging stellar population, the number fractions of chemically peculiar (CP) stars rise and fall periodically, and the fractions are high enough that their spectra features survive to appear in integrated light at subtle levels. Chemically peculiar stars are suggested to be used to disentangle an age history from integrated light spectroscopy. In this dissertation, we first introduce the improvement on stellar evolutionary isochrones and composite stellar population models. Individual elements C, N, O, Mg, Si, and Fe were included to gauge the effects on temperatures, luminosities, and lifetimes in various phases. Then, Integrated-light models that incorporate common types of chemically peculiar stars are assembled using synthetic spectra. CP spectra features are analyzed for local group galaxies and SDSS galaxies. Finally, we attempt to build an age technique with CP features. Four indices are defined from HgMn spectra features. Two age indicators are constructed and applied to SDSS galaxies for analysis of star formation history.

title: Graph-based QSS: A Graph-based Approach to Quantifying Semantic Similarity for Automated Linear SQL Grading
Creators: name: Köberlein, Leo
name: Probst, Dominik
name: Lenz, Richard
Publisher: name: Gesellschaft für Informatik, Bonn
Year: 2025

description: Determining the Quantified Semantic Similarity (QSS) between database queries is a critical challenge with broad applications, from query log analysis to automated SQL skill assessment. Traditional methods often rely solely on syntactic comparisons or are limited to checking for semantic equivalence. This paper introduces Graph-based QSS, a novel graph-based approach to measure the semantic dissimilarity between SQL queries. Queries are represented as nodes in an implicit graph, while the transitions between nodes are called edits, which are weighted by semantic dissimilarity. We employ shortest path algorithms to identify the lowest-cost edit sequence between two given queries, thereby defining a quantifiable measure of semantic distance. An empirical study of our prototype suggests that our method provides more accurate and comprehensible grading compared to existing techniques. Moreover, the results indicate that our approach comes close to the quality of manual grading, making it a robust tool for diverse database query comparison tasks.

description: Quantifying the semantic similarity between database queries is a critical challenge with broad applications, ranging from query log analysis to automated educational assessment of SQL skills. Traditional methods often rely solely on syntactic comparisons or are limited to checking for semantic equivalence.
 This paper introduces a novel graph-based approach to measure the semantic dissimilarity between SQL queries. Queries are represented as nodes in an implicit graph, while the transitions between nodes are called edits, which are weighted by semantic dissimilarity. We employ shortest path algorithms to identify the lowest-cost edit sequence between two given queries, thereby defining a quantifiable measure of semantic distance.
 A prototype implementation of this technique has been evaluated through an empirical study, which strongly suggests that our method provides more accurate and comprehensible grading compared to existing techniques. Moreover, the results indicate that our approach comes close to the quality of manual grading, making it a robust tool for diverse database query comparison tasks.

description: Let $K$ be a nonempty subset of a Banach space $X$. A mapping $T\colon K\to K$ is called $\mathfrak{cm}$-nonexpansive if for any sequence $(u_i)_{i=1}^\infty$ and $y$ in $K$, $\limsup_{i\to\infty} \sup_{A\subset\{1,\dots, n\}}\|\sum_{k\in A} \big(T u_{i+k} - Ty\big)\|\leq \limsup_{i\to\infty} \sup_{A\subset\{1,\dots, n\}}\|\sum_{k\in A} (u_{i+k} - y)\|$ for all $n\in\mathbb{N}$. As a subclass of the class of nonexpansive maps, its FPP is well-established in a wide variety of spaces. The main result of this paper is a fixed point result relating $\mathfrak{cm}$-nonexpansiveness, $\ell_1$ spreading models and Schauder bases with not-so-large basis constants. As a consequence, we deduce that Banach spaces with the weak Banach-Saks property have the fixed point property for $\mathfrak{cm}$-nonexpansive maps.

description: Recent years have brought about a renewed interest in commonsense representation and reasoning in the field of natural language understanding. The development of new commonsense knowledge graphs (CSKG) has been central to these advances as their diverse facts can be used and referenced by machine learning models for tackling new and challenging tasks. At the same time, there remain questions about the quality and coverage of these resources due to the massive scale required to comprehensively encompass general commonsense knowledge. In this work, we posit that manually constructed CSKGs will never achieve the coverage necessary to be applicable in all situations encountered by NLP agents. Therefore, we propose a new evaluation framework for testing the utility of KGs based on how effectively implicit knowledge representations can be learned from them. With this new goal, we propose ATOMIC 2020, a new CSKG of general-purpose commonsense knowledge containing knowledge that is not readily available in pretrained language models. We evaluate its properties in comparison with other leading CSKGs, performing the first large-scale pairwise study of commonsense knowledge resources. Next, we show that ATOMIC 2020 is better suited for training knowledge models that can generate accurate, representative knowledge for new, unseen entities and events. Finally, through human evaluation, we show that the few-shot performance of GPT-3 (175B parameters), while impressive, remains ~12 absolute points lower than a BART-based knowledge model trained on ATOMIC 2020 despite using over 430x fewer parameters.

description: Decaying dark matter (DDM) can be tested via different astrophysical and cosmological probes. In particular, particles in the $\sim$ 9.5 - 30 eV mass range that decay into monochromatic photons, would contribute to the extragalactic background light (EBL) in the ultraviolet (UV) bandwidth. In this work, we show that an intriguing improvement to the constraints on such DDM models can come from broadband UV surveys, such as GALEX or the upcoming ULTRASAT satellite. These provide diffuse light maps of the UV EBL, integrated over a wide redshift range. The cross correlation between intensity fluctuations in these maps with a reference spectroscopic galaxy survey, can be used to reconstruct the redshift evolution of the EBL intensity; in this way, it is also possible to detect signatures of contributions from DDM. We forecast the constraining power of (GALEX+ULTRASAT)$\times$DESI, and we show they will be able to detect DDM with decay rate up to $\mathcal{O}(10^{-26}\,{\rm s})$. In the context of axion-like particles (ALP), our forecasts can be converted to constraints on the ALP-photon coupling; our results show this technique will test ALP with coupling $\lesssim\mathcal{O}(10^{-12}\,{\rm GeV^{-1}})$, more than an order of magnitude better than current bounds in this mass range.

description: Remarks on Lestes forficulaRambur, 1842 (figs 3, 20-21, 25, 31-31) Lestes forficula Rambur is known from the surrounding countries French Guiana (Selys, 1862; Machet, 1989 as Lestes forficulus), Brazil (Selys, 1862) and Venezuela (Racenis, 1958; De Marmels, 1990). A male of this species has also been collected by me during a trip through Brazil (State of Bahia, Santo Amoro, 31.vii.1992,1 ♂). It is highly probable that the species occurs in Surinam. Lestes forficula is somewhat similar to the newly described species Lestes basidens, but the former is characterized by having the inner side of the male superior caudal appendages with a median dilatation and in having the pectoral colour pattern only with a pair of metepimeral spots. In this respect the pectoral colour pattern of Lestes forficula resembles that of Lestes bipupillatus Calvert, 1909, which seems to be its nearest ally. Some specimens of Lestes forficula have a weakly developed mid-ventral posterior metasternal spot (fig. 3). I add illustrations of some specifically important details of the male and female of Lestes forficula. The dimensions of the specimens studied by me are: Male.— Total length ca. 37; abdomen 29-31; hind wing 19-20; costal edge of stigma in fore wing 1.2­ 1.4. Female.— Total length ca. 37; abdomen 29-30; hind wing 21-22; costal edge of stigma in fore wing 1.3-1.5.

description: In this paper, we introduce a novel approach for autonomous driving trajectory generation by harnessing the complementary strengths of diffusion probabilistic models (a.k.a., diffusion models) and transformers. Our proposed framework, termed the "World-Centric Diffusion Transformer"(WcDT), optimizes the entire trajectory generation process, from feature extraction to model inference. To enhance the scene diversity and stochasticity, the historical trajectory data is first preprocessed into "Agent Move Statement" and encoded into latent space using Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPM) enhanced with Diffusion with Transformer (DiT) blocks. Then, the latent features, historical trajectories, HD map features, and historical traffic signal information are fused with various transformer-based encoders that are used to enhance the interaction of agents with other elements in the traffic scene. The encoded traffic scenes are then decoded by a trajectory decoder to generate multimodal future trajectories. Comprehensive experimental results show that the proposed approach exhibits superior performance in generating both realistic and diverse trajectories, showing its potential for integration into automatic driving simulation systems.

description: Paraprofessionals (paraeducators, instructional aides, or teaching assistants) have the potential to become teachers who have significant existing knowledge about schools and students. To reach this potential, a deeper understanding of their particular assets and needs in becoming teachers is needed. This dissertation comprises two studies investigating these preservice teachers’ backgrounds, self-efficacy for teaching generally and for teaching science, and implications for the science preparation of preservice elementary teachers. In the first study, to learn whether and how paraprofessionals’ school-based work experiences impacted their development as future elementary science teachers, 20 participants completed surveys regarding their general teaching self-efficacy and self-efficacy for teaching science. Quantitative analyses indicated that their years of paraprofessional work experience did not predict their self-efficacy. To better understand their work experiences and self-efficacy, a range sample of eight participants was selected and studied qualitatively using a multiple case study design incorporating participant interviews, classroom observations, and artifacts from schools and university coursework. Themes regarding these paraprofessionals’ science teaching self-efficacy included balancing mastery and vicarious experiences of teaching, accessing knowledges including content knowledge and their sociocultural funds of knowledge, and accessing social power and supports during their transition from paraprofessional to teacher.
description: In the second study, participants from three subsequent cohorts of paraprofessionals completed the same surveys used in the first study. The 43 participants’ self-efficacy scores for using instructional strategies were lower than those for classroom management or student engagement. Multiple regression analyses indicated that participants’ years of school-based work experience were not correlated with their general teaching self-efficacy. Regression analyses also indicated that a significant proportion of their science teaching self-efficacy was predicted negatively by their years of work experience and predicted positively by their number of college science courses. Further, the participants’ science teaching self-efficacy was predicted by their self-efficacy for student engagement.
description: The factors that paraprofessionals identify as affecting their science teaching self-efficacy can inform the efforts of teacher educators, school administrators, and policymakers to create recruitment and retention efforts that address paraprofessionals’ particular needs and potentials, and contribute to our knowledge base regarding the science teaching preparation of preservice teachers overall.
