title: Pressure Ulcer Development and Prevention in Long-Term Care Facilities in Virginia: A Descriptive Survey
Creators: name: Arthur, Audrey D.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2004

description: The development of pressure ulcers is a common occurrence among older persons
who may be temporarily immobilized or confined to a bed. An estimated 60,000 deaths
annually can be attributed to complications from pressure ulcers. Guidelines
recommended by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research have been
disseminated nationally and continue to be recommended as the standard of care for
pressure ulcer prevention. In spite of the use of the recommended guidelines, pressure
ulcer rates persist, suggesting there are other factors contributing to pressure ulcer
development in long-term care facilities.

A survey was conducted to investigate which provider related factors and patient
related factors most likely contribute to pressure ulcer development in residents of longterm
care facilities. Questionnaires were mailed to 150 long-term care nursing facilities
in Virginia. A total of 50 completed surveys were returned. The results indicated that the
provider related factors of most importance were infrequent education and training in
pressure ulcer prevention and the high turnover rate of CNAs. The patient related factor
of most importance was the presence of more than two chronic conditions in most
residents. There is a need for increased frequency of training directed at CNAs,
improvement in CNA retention, frequent assessment of high-risk patients by nursing staff and appropriate management of patients with co-morbid conditions to ensure consistent
optimal care of long-term residents.

description: In this paper we study the consequences of relaxing the hypothesis of the pressureless nature of the dark matter component when determining constraints on dark energy. To this aim we consider simple generalized dark matter models with constant equation of state parameter. We find that present-day low-redshift probes (type-Ia supernovae and baryonic acoustic oscillations) lead to a complete degeneracy between the dark energy and the dark matter sectors. However, adding the cosmic microwave background (CMB) high-redshift probe restores constraints similar to those on the standard $Λ$CDM model. We then examine the anticipated constraints from the galaxy clustering probe of the future Euclid survey on the same class of models, using a Fisher forecast estimation. We show that the Euclid survey allows us to break the degeneracy between the dark sectors, although the constraints on dark energy are much weaker than with standard dark matter. The use of CMB in combination allows us to restore the high precision on the dark energy sector constraints.

Resolving a discrepancy between experimental and theoretical lifetimes in atomic negative ions

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Atomic Physics (physics.atom-ph)

description: Recently the lifetime of the excited $^{2}P_{1/2}$-state of S$^-$ was measured to be $503\pm 54$ s (Bäckström et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 143003 (2015)). The earlier theoretical lifetime of $436$ s was clearly outside the experimental error bars. To investigate this discrepancy we have performed systematic and large-scale multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock calculations for this system. After including a careful treatment of correlation and relativistic effects, we predict a well-converged value of $492$ s for this lifetime, with an uncertainty considerably less than 1%, thereby removing the apparent conflict between theory and experiment. We also show that this result corresponds to the non-relativistic limit in the $LS$-approximation for the M1 transition within this $^2P$ term. We also demonstrate the usefulness of the latter approach for $^2P$ transitions in O$^-$, Se$^-$ and Te$^-$, as well as for analogous M1 transitions within $^2D$ terms in Ni$^-$ and Pt$^-$ ions.

description: Quantum Bayesianism (``QBism'') has been put forward as an approach to quantum theory that avoids foundational problems by altogether disavowing the objective existence of quantum states. It is shown that QBism suffers its own versions of the familiar foundational problems, and that these QBist versions are illuminating not just for QBism, but for more traditional foundational approaches as well.

Subjects: 364: Kriminologie

description: Unlike most criminal offenses in Germany, the rate of residential burglary has significantly increased since 2006. This high number of burglary cases is contrary to a very low rate of suspects actually identified by the police. However, official statistics indicate that individual districts in Germany strongly differ regarding the frequency rate as well as the number of suspects. Hereby, the Criminology Research Institute of Lower Saxony conducted a comprehensive study on residential burglary regarding the characteristics of burglary offenses, the situation of victims, criminal investigations and legal proceedings, as well as the characteristics of offenders. Written surveys were completed with victims of burglary (N=1,329) and criminal files were analyzed (N=3,668). The present paper represents the main results of this research project.
Tree Kernel Usage in Naive Bayes Classifiers

description: We present a novel approach in machine learning by combining naive Bayes classifiers with tree kernels. Tree kernel methods produce promising results in machine learning tasks containing treestructured attribute values. These kernel methods are used to compare two tree-structured attribute values recursively. Up to now tree kernels are only used in kernel machines like Support Vector Machines or Perceptrons. In this paper, we show that tree kernels can be utilized in a naive Bayes classifier enabling the classifier to handle tree-structured values. We evaluate our approach on three datasets containing tree-structured values. We show that our approach using tree-structures delivers significantly better results in contrast to approaches using non-structured (flat) features extracted from the tree. Additionally, we show that our approach is significantly faster than comparable kernel machines in several settings which makes it more useful in resource-aware settings like mobile devices.

description: New massive resonances are predicted in many extensions to the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics and constitutes one of the most promising searches for new physics at the LHC. We present a feasibility study to search for new heavy neutral gauge bosons using vector boson fusion (VBF) processes, which become especially important as the LHC probes higher collision energies. In particular, we consider the possibility that the discovery of a $Z'$ boson may have eluded searches at the LHC. The coupling of the $Z'$ boson to the SM quarks can be small, and thus the $Z'$ would not be discoverable by the searches conducted thus far. In the context of a simplified phenomenological approach, we consider the $Z'\toττ$ and $Z'\toμμ$ decay modes to show that the requirement of a dilepton pair combined with two high $p_{T}$ forward jets with large separation in pseudorapidity and with large dijet mass is effective in reducing SM backgrounds. The expected exclusion bounds (at 95\% confidence level) are $m(Z') < 1.8$ TeV and $m(Z') < 2.5$ TeV in the $ττj_{f}j_{f}$ and $μμj_{f}j_{f}$ channels, respectively, assuming 1000 fb$^{-1}$ of 13 TeV data from the LHC. The use of the VBF topology to search for massive neutral gauge bosons provides a discovery reach with expected significances greater than 5$σ$ (3$σ$) for $Z'$ masses up to 1.4 (1.6) TeV and 2.0 (2.2) TeV in the $ττj_{f}j_{f}$ and $μμj_{f}j_{f}$ channels.

Mother monster: Lady Gaga read through cyberfeminist and monster theory
Creators: name: Sasso, Michael
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Pop sensation Lady Gaga is known for playing various monsters and hybrid creatures in her music videos. Through her outrageous costumes, she also famously “queers and camps” clothing, revealing it to be wearable technology. Scholars, including Nathalie Weidhase and Poppy Wilde, have examined how these and other creative moves by Gaga contribute to the posthuman project. Specifically, they show how Gaga’s work undermines the humanist idea of a “core” author or individual. This study builds upon that scholarship and examines how Gaga uses monstrosity as well as the cyborg to advance the posthuman project and to elucidate ways of being that are outside of or in between traditional binary categories. This study draws on Jeffrey Cohen’s “Monster Culture (Seven Theses)” to put Gaga’s monster iterations into historical context, and it utilizes the work of Donna Haraway and Sadie Plant in order to read Gaga’s work through a cyberfeminist lens. Through analysis of its main artifacts, Gaga’s music videos Yoü and I (2011) and G.U.Y. (2014), this study contends that Gaga foretells (and has been foretelling since the early 2000s) of our era’s category crises regarding sex, gender, and our entanglement with technology. Further, it argues that, in cyberfeminist fashion, the work of Lady Gaga anticipates an end to historical Woman and Man; it prepares us for a reconceptualization of the human subject.

Pulse-noise approach for classical spin systems

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: For systems of classical spins interacting with the bath via damping and thermal noise, the approach is suggested to replace the white noise by a pulse noise acting at regular time intervals $Δt$, within which the system evolves conservatively. The method is working well in the typical case of a small dimensionless damping constant $λ$ and allows a considerable speed-up of computations by using high-order numerical integrators with a large time step $δt$ (up to a fraction of the precession period), while keeping $δt\llΔt$ to reduce the relative contribution of noise-related operations. In cases when precession can be discarded, $δt$ can be increased up to a fraction of the relaxation time $\propto1/λ$ that leads to a further speed-up. This makes equilibration speed comparable with that of Metropolis Monte Carlo. The pulse-noise approach is tested on single-spin and multi-spin models.

Parallel electric fields are inefficient drivers of energetic electrons in magnetic reconnection

description: We present two-dimensional kinetic simulations, with a broad range of initial guide fields, that isolate the role of parallel electric fields ($E_\parallel$) in energetic electron production during collisionless magnetic reconnection. In the strong guide field regime, $E_\parallel$ drives essentially all of the electron energy gain, yet fails to generate an energetic component. We suggest that this is due to the weak energy scaling of particle acceleration from $E_\parallel$ compared to that of a Fermi-type mechanism responsible for energetic electron production in the weak guide-field regime. This result has important implications for energetic electron production in astrophysical systems and reconnection-driven dissipation in turbulence.
Parallel Algorithms for GPU accelerated Probabilistic Inference

Publisher: name: Technische Universität Dortmund
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: 004

description: Real world data is likely to contain an inherent structure. Those structures may be represented with graphs which encode independence assumptions within the data. Performing inference in those models is nearly intractable on mobile devices or casual workstations. This work introduces and compares two approaches for ac- celerating the inference in graphical models by using GPUs as parallel processing units. It is empirically showed, that in order to achieve a scaleable parallel algo- rithm, one has to distribute the workload equally among all processing units of a GPU. We accomplished this by introducing Thread-Cooperative message compu- tations.

description: Muon component of extensive air showers (EAS) initiated by cosmic ray particles carries information on the primary particle identity. We show that the muon content of EAS could be measured in a broad energy range from 10-100 TeV up to ultra-high-energy cosmic ray range using wide field-of-view imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes observing strongly inclined or nearly horizontal EAS from the ground of from high altitude. Cherenkov emission from muons in such EAS forms a distinct component (halo or tail) of the EAS image in the telescope camera. We show that detection of the muon signal could be used to measure composition of the cosmic ray spectrum in the energy ranges of the knee, the ankle and of the Galactic-to-extragalactic transition. It could also be used to veto the cosmic ray background in gamma-ray observations. This technique provides a possibility for up to two orders of magnitude improvement of sensitivity for gamma-ray flux in the energy band above 10 PeV, compared to KASCADE-Grande, and an order-of-magnitude improvement of sensitivity in the multi-EeV energy band, compared to Pierre Auger Observatory.

description: We study an impurity atom trapped by an anharmonic potential, immersed within a cold atomic Fermi gas with attractive interactions that realizes the crossover from a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superfluid to a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). Considering the qubit comprising the lowest two vibrational energy eigenstates of the impurity, we demonstrate that its dynamics probes the equilibrium density fluctuations encoded in the dynamic structure factor of the superfluid. Observing the impurity's evolution is thus shown to facilitate nondestructive measurements of the superfluid order parameter and the contact between collective and single-particle excitation spectra. Our setup constitutes a novel model of an open quantum system interacting with a thermal reservoir, the latter supporting both bosonic and fermionic excitations that are also coupled to each other.

description: A new tuning mechanism is demonstrated for single-mode metal-clad plasmonic lasers, in which refractive-index of the laser's surrounding medium affects the resonant-cavity mode in the same vein as refractive-index of gain medium inside the cavity. Reversible, continuous, and mode-hop-free tuning of ~57GHz is realized for single-mode narrow-beam terahertz plasmonic quantum-cascade lasers (QCLs), which is demonstrated at much more practical temperature of 78K. The tuning is based on post-process deposition/etching of a dielectric (Silicon-dioxide) on a QCL chip that has already been soldered and wire-bonded onto a copper mount. This is a considerably larger tuning range compared to previously reported results for terahertz QCLs with directional far-field radiation patterns. The key enabling mechanism for tuning is a recently developed antenna-feedback scheme for plasmonic lasers, which leads to generation of hybrid surface-plasmon-polaritons propagating outside the cavity of the laser with a large spatial extent. The effect of dielectric deposition on QCL's characteristics is investigated in detail including that on maximum operating temperature, peak output power and far-field radiation patterns. Single-lobed beam with low divergence (<7deg) is maintained through the tuning range. The antenna-feedback scheme is ideally suited for modulation of plasmonic lasers and their sensing applications due to the sensitive dependence of spectral and radiative properties of the laser on its surrounding medium.

Stockwell Transform Based Medical Image Compression
Creators: name: Tewodros, Endale
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Image compression is achieved by reducing the redundant and irrelevant data so that the number of bits to represent each image pixel array is reduced. This could be achieved by using transform coding. Images can be transformed from one domain to a different type of representation using some well-known transform. Different types of linear transforms exist in this regard. The Fourier transform and cosine transform are few examples. Multiresolution analysis is becoming important in image analysis and signal processing as it gives resolution on both frequency and time domains, which is not the case in the Fourier and cosine transforms. Wavelet Transform (WT) is the earlies multiresolution member and was proposed on various image processing fields, JPEG2000 image compression tool uses WT. But due to the lack of the absolutely referenced frequency and phase information and sensitivity to noise the application area of WT is limited. The Stockwell transform (S-Transform) is another proposed multiresolution transform that offers the absolutely-referenced frequency and phase information. There exists a very direct relationship between the S-transform and the natural Fourier transform and the S-transform is always invertible. Such advantages of the S-transform inspired many researchers to navigate very useful applications of the transform in different disciplines. But S-transform redundantly doubles the dimension of the original data set making computation expensive and hence the Discrete Orthonormal Stockwell Transform (DOST) was proposed. DOST is a pared-down version of the fully redundant S-transform which reduces the computational cost without changing its multiresolution nature and the absolutely-referenced frequency and phase information. The proposed image compression scheme in this thesis uses JPEG 2000 image compression scheme as a bench mark. As S-transform outperforms the WT in some useful aspects, WT that is used in the JPEG2000 scheme is replaced by the DOST and a new algorithm has been developed. Compression Ratio (CR), Mean Square Error (MSE), Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) were used to quantify the performance of the proposed compression scheme. Results showed that the DOST allows effective and efficient image compression and outperforms other transform-based approaches including those that makes use of the discrete cosine as well as wavelet transforms. The proposed algorithm has been tested on images acquired from freely available research database and offered an average PSNR, CR, MSE and SSIM of 47.0099, 50.6031, 8.0097 and 0.9295 respectively. In comparison, WT offered an average PSNR, CR, MSE and SSIM of 42.9151, 49.8519, 8.2633 and 0.9108 respectively.

description: We investigate the quantum dynamics in a disordered electronic lattice with Fibonacci sequence of site energy and off-diagonal electron-phonon coupling within a sub-Ohmic bath by the time-dependent density matrix renormalization group algorithm. It is found that, the slope of the inverse participation ratio versus the coupling strength undergoes a sudden change indicating a transition from the static to the dynamic localization. In the dynamic localization regime, the generated polarons coherently diffuse via hopping-like processes evidenced by the saturated entanglement entropy, providing a novel scenario for the transportation mechanism in strongly disordered systems. The mean-square displacement is revealed to be insensitive to the coupling strength, implying the quantum diffusion behavior survives the energy disorder that prevails in real organic materials.

description: Der Betriebsratstypus des Co-Managers zieht zunehmend Aufmerksamkeit auf sich. Wir untersuchen in diesem Artikel am Beispiel von Betriebsräten im Öffentlichen Personennahverkehr, ob dieser Betriebsratstypus sich von anderen (konventionellen, engagierten oder ambitionierten) Betriebsratstypen hinsichtlich seiner Qualifizierungsprozesse und seiner Kommunikationsstrukturen unterscheidet. Basierend auf einer schriftlichen Befragung aller Betriebsräte zeigt sich, dass der Co-Manager mehr Weiterbildungsangebote in Anspruch nimmt und die dadurch erworbenen Kompetenzen häufiger durch interne Wissensvermittlungsprozesse an andere Betriebsratsmitglieder weitergibt. Die Kontaktflächen zur Geschäftsleitung sind deutlich ausgeprägter, ohne dass dies mit einer Reduzierung der Kontakte zu Gewerkschaften einhergeht. Darüber hinaus wird ein Schwerpunkt im Kontakt zu Betriebsräten anderer Unternehmen gelegt; hier sind Co-Manager deutlich variantenreicher und differenzierter als ihre Kollegen aus den anderen Betriebsratstypen.
description: The initial euphoria caused by computer-aided learning in the nineties was followed by a time of disillusion. We see one main reason for these occurrences in the mere focus on technical aspects while disregarding the pedagogic and (industrial and organisational) psychological dimensions of learning. It is time for a reorientation of e-learning beginning with questions like: What is knowledge? What kind of knowledge is needed in specifi c areas? How is knowledge gained so far? And how can the answers to these questions be transferred to learning environments which respond to specific situations? The chances of e-learning will not be found in the reproduction of imparted ideas of learning using media but in using media and its new possibilities for a kind of learning which focuses on construction, experimentation, exploration and communication. Using a case study we will show what such a solution can look like.

description: Wire electric discharge machining (WEDM) has proven to be a useful technology in the processing of semiconductor materials for micro-electronics and MEMS applications. The technology has been shown to reduce processing costs by improving material utilization, eliminating defects, and simplifying the manufacturing process. The intent of this investigation was to apply WEDM to the shaping of a single-crystal silicon carbide (SiC) boule with the goal of reducing the cost associated with boule shaping. In micro-electronic systems, SiC has been shown to be well suited for applications in extreme operating conditions such as high-temperature or adverse chemical environments. SiC is a material of very high hardness, which means it is a difficult material to machine by mechanical means. SiC is an important material for the future of electronic devices, but the use of SiC is limited by the difficulty and high cost associated with production of SiC substrates.

description: Solution of complex problems (e.g. production of new technology) requires the combination of advanced knowledge and state-of-the-art technologies, belonging to interdisciplinary areas. In this regard, the INTERSECT project aims at leveraging European leadership in materials’ modelling software and infrastructure, providing an industry-ready novel multi-scale multiphysics simulation platform, able to connect materials simulations to modelling of the device operations. INTERSECT's main result will be the release of the Interoperable Material-ToDevice Simulation Box (IM2D) that is conceived as an interoperable, robust and friendly software solution for easier exploration of the materials workspace from an electronic deviceoriented industrial perspective. Beside the overall IM2D infrastructure, a set of key exploitable results (Table 1) has been selected and ranked, as a result of the innovation management analysis (see deliverable D4.8 “Innovation management assessment and revision”). The scope of this report is to provide an updated Business model for the project results. For each of the key exploitable results of Table 1, we elaborated a dedicated business model canvas. Since IM2D is the main project outcome, it will cover the largest part of this plan. An initial business strategy for the exploitation of IM2D was anticipated in the “First Business plan” (D4.3) that is now elaborated on the basis of the maturated experience, also in contact with industrial stakeholders. The business models for the remaining six exploitable results are, instead, completely new, as these key results emerged from an innovation management analysis performed after the release of the first business plan. In accordance with the Description of the Action (DoA) and the Consortium Agreement expectation among participant partners, “the project goal is the realization of a ‘precompetitive’ software solution”. Therefore, in this business plan assessment we will analyze the market size, the segmentation and the needs of the reference sector market - the HORIZON2020 Deliverable D4.7 Business plan assessment and revision www.intersect-project.eu 6 Electronic Design Automation (EDA) market - and of the main end-user markets (semiconductor and neuromorphic market), without entering into specific commercialization or marketing strategies, which go beyond the aim of this project.The rest of the document is organized as follows: ● Section 2 – Vision & Mission ● Section 3 – INTERSECT product and solution business models ● Section 4 – Market research: segmentation, trends & opportunities and INTERSECT positioning ● Section 5 – SWOT analysis ● Section 6 – Exploitation strategy ● Section 7 – Marketing plan: revenue, distribution, source license type and communication plan ● Section 8 – Conclusions

description: The present special issue brings together papers that focus on relevant theoretical perspectives and empirical research concerning individual and collective processes of radicalization, and social dynamics and conflicts associated with them. It also examines strategies to prevent the initiation of such processes and thereby connects analyses and transfer. Eight articles advance the current state of the art with regard to three aspects of radicalization within the context of Islamist terrorism, namely: 1) radicalization as a relational process; 2) social challenges and the role of foreign policy; and 3) prevention strategies. Together they represent important current empirical studies and point to directions where research is urgently needed.

description: Zwei Entwicklungstrends in der Erwerbsarbeit, nämlich die Verlagerung des klassischen Kostenwettbewerbs zum Wettbewerb um innovative Produkte und die Veränderung der Altersstruktur der Erwerbsbevölkerung aufgrund der demographischen Entwicklung werden kurz erläutert und genutzt, um die Entwicklung der Leistungs- und Innovationsfähigkeit Erwerbstätiger über die Spanne des erwerbsfähigen Alters als Zukunftsaufgabe zu kennzeichnen. In diesem Beitrag werden Alterstrends des Erlebens von Innovationsanforderungen durch Erwerbstätige analysiert sowie Befunde empirischer Studien über die Innovationstätigkeit Erwerbstätiger vorgestellt. Mit zwei Indikatoren Hauptakteur bei realisierten Produkt- und Prozessinnovationen im letzten Kalenderjahr und Beteiligung an realisierten Produkt- und Prozessinnovationen im letzten Kalenderjahr werden für eine Gelegenheitsstichprobe Erwerbstätiger und für eine Stichprobe von Innovatoren Alterstrends der Innovationstätigkeit beschrieben. In beiden Studien wird keine Altersabhängigkeit der Innovationstätigkeit festgestellt. Aber es besteht ein Zusammenhang der Innovationstätigkeit mit der Lernhaltigkeit der Arbeitsaufgabe. Erwerbstätige, die Arbeitsaufgaben mit höheren Lernanforderungen bearbeiten, sind häufiger Innovator.
description: Many researchers and politicians demand the contracting-out and the end of the public job placement. In job placement the interactions and relationships can be organised in project networks. For this reason I ask if this governance form is currently as well the organisational form of the future in job placement. I answer to this question on the basis of a research project on the organisation and control of television content production in which project networks are the dominant organisational form, the analysis of the relevant literature on (the reform of the) job placement and on observations during stays in two job agencies. Conceptually I draw on a structurationist informed perspective on organisational fields. I show that contracting-out is currently no promising option for the Federal Employment Agency and for government because central prerequisites for success are not fulfilled. Alternatively, the Federal Employment Agency can be developed much more into a network organizer.

description: Charles Lever's Davenport Dunn: A Man of Our Day (1857-59), which takes place after the Great Famine and the Crimean War, stands out as one of the finest novels about a swindling financier who rises to the heights of society before his fall. Dunn is said to be based on the notorious Irish politician and confidence man John Sadleir, whose duplicitous business practices at the height of the Railway Mania led directly to his suicide on Hampstead Heath. Illustrated by Charles Dicken's usual illustrator Hablot Knight Browne (also known as "Phiz"). -- Philip V. Allingham, (Victoria Web)

description: The partial root-zone drying (PRD) irrigation technique has been proposed for viticulture as a possible way to save water without compromising yield. Half of the plant root system is slowly dehydrating whereas the other half is irrigated; after about two weeks the opposite side of vines is irrigated. A PRD irrigation system (50 % of the crop evapotranspiration - ETc) was installed in a vineyard (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Castelão) in Southern Portugal and compared with two other irrigation systems, deficit irrigation, DI (50 % ETc) and full irrigation, FI (100 % ETc), as well as with non-irrigated vines (NI). Water was applied twice a week, from fruit set (mid-June) until one week before harvest (September 3). While FI vines remained well watered during the ripening period, a severe water stress developed in NI plants. PRD and DI vines exhibited mild water deficits during the same period. A significant decrease in vegetative growth (shoot weight, pruning weight, leaf layer number and percentage of water shoots) was observed in NI and PRD vines when compared to DI and FI. In denser canopies (FI and DI) berry temperature was always lower than that of the more open ones (NI and PRD). The higher degree of cluster exposition in PRD and NI had a positive influence on berry composition due to temperature and incident radiation, leading to higher concentrations of anthocyanins and total phenols in the berry skin compared to DI and FI vines. Irrigation did not significantly affect berry sugar accumulation and pH in berries. Compared to FI, PRD and DI treatments water use efficiency (the amount of fruit produced per unit of water applied) was doubled since at the same yield the amount of water applied, was reduced by 50 %.

Crossing Margins: Intersectional Users' Ethical Concerns about Software - Replication Package

description: Many modern software applications present numerous ethical concerns due to conflicts between users' values and companies' priorities. Intersectional communities—those with multiple marginalized identities—are disproportionately affected by these ethical issues, leading to legal, financial, and reputational issues for software companies, as well as real-world harm for intersectional users. Historically, the voices of intersectional communities have been systematically marginalized and excluded from contributing their unique perspectives to software design, perpetuating software-related ethical concerns.
This work aims to fill the gap in research on intersectional users' software-related perspectives and provide software practitioners with a starting point to address their ethical concerns. We aggregated and analyzed the intersectional users' ethical concerns over time and developed a prioritization method to identify critical concerns. To achieve this, we collected posts from over 700 intersectional subreddits discussing software applications, utilized deep learning to identify ethical concerns in these posts, and employed state-of-the-art techniques to analyze their content in relation to time and priority. Our findings revealed that intersectional communities report critical complaints related to cyberbullying, inappropriate content, and discrimination, highlighting significant flaws in modern software, particularly for intersectional users. Based on these findings, we discuss how to better address the ethical concerns of intersectional users in software development.
