Subjects: subject: Philosophy
subject: FOS: Philosophy, ethics and religion

description: The aim of the present article is to discuss several consequences of the Open Science from a perspective of science communication and philosophy of communication. Apart from the purely communicative and philosophical issues, the paper deals with the questions that concern the science popularization process through social media (especially Twitter and blogs). The article consists of three sections: the first one suggests a definition of science communication and social media, the second examines the transformation of science in the Age of the Internet and considers the influence of social media on science communication, the third and final one presents some case studies and philosophical observations. The most important conclusion to be reached here is that the social media have changed science and science communication. Twitter and blogs as novelty tools of science communication can be useful and meaningful for both science and society. Furthermore, social media can be used to facilitate broader involvement of citizens in the discussion about science. Source: Kulczycki, E. (2013).

The ROADMAP meta-model for intelligent adaptive multi-agent systems in open environments
Creators: name: Juan, Thomas
name: Sterling, Leon
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In this paper, we introduce the ROADMAP meta-model, designed to describe intelligent adaptive systems in open environments, using agent concepts such as roles. Developing intelligent adaptive systems creates new challenges in engineering software quality attributes such as correctness and reliability. The ROADMAP meta-model captures our understanding of properties of intelligent adaptive systems and our perspective on organizational concepts such as roles. The meta-model does not solve specific engineering problems, but provides a clean high-level structure where engineering issues can be grouped and classified. Infrastructure to support these issues can then be put in place progressively with consistency. An informal evaluation of the meta-model and comparison to related work is also presented. We expect developers of AOSE methodologies, tools, programming languages and frameworks to benefit from understanding the design and structure of the ROADMAP meta-model. By adopting the meta-model, the resulting methodologies, tools and languages may inherit its desirable characteristics and better support the development of intelligent adaptive systems in open environments.

description: During a crisis, people resort to social media to share information that can be used by emergency responders and humanitarian organizations. Due to the amount of data that is gathered from social media, the task of retrieving relevant information becomes harder to do manually. Machine learning can speed up many human processes to attain rapid response for crisis management. One approach is to utilize a pre-trained model that recognizes damage-related images and filters out irrelevant ones without creating a new model each time a disaster occurs. However, a model trained on past disaster data do not always generalize well on data from a new disaster due to domain shift. Therefore, existing models need to be adapted to the emergent disaster quickly. A promising way to achieve this goals is through Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA), which is one of the major fields of machine learning used when we need to train a model on unseen data from a different domain. To this end, many advancements have been made toward better transferability of the model, including the Domain Adversarial Neural Network (DANN) which utilized adversarial training to obtain a domain-invariant feature extractor. Adversarial Sliced-Wasserstein Domain Adaptation Network (AWDAN) further improved DANN by introducing a sliced-Wasserstein distance as a measure between the features extracted from the source and target domains. Inspired by these advancements, in this thesis, we explored the utility of UDA approaches in the disaster response domain. Specifically, we implemented and tested both DANN and AWDAN on a popular disaster damage assessment dataset, which comprises social media images from four natural disaster. Our experimental results and detailed analyses show that we can improve upon previous methods and accomplish state-of-the-art results with AWDAN for the disaster damage assessment task.

description: The olfactomotor system is especially investigated by examining the sniffing in reaction to olfactory stimuli. The motor output of respiratory-independent muscles was seldomly considered regarding possible influences of smells. The Adaptive Force (AF) characterizes the capability of the neuromuscular system to adapt to external forces in a holding manner and was suggested to be more vulnerable to possible interfering stimuli due to the underlying complex control processes. The aim of this pilot study was to measure the effects of olfactory inputs on the AF of the hip and elbow flexors, respectively. The AF of 10 subjects was examined manually by experienced testers while smelling at sniffing sticks with neutral, pleasant or disgusting odours. The reaction force and the limb position were recorded by a handheld device. The results show, inter alia, a significantly lower maximal isometric AF and a significantly higher AF at the onset of oscillations by perceiving disgusting odours compared to pleasant or neutral odours (p

description: Il tema delle partecipazioni pubbliche è particolarmente delicato per ampiezza del fenomeno, per impatto sulla collettività delle loro attività e per la quantità di denaro pubblico in esse investito. L’obiettivo di questo lavoro – che va considerato come una prima e sintetica analisi suscettibile di successivi approfondimenti - è quello di mettere in luce, a fronte della situazione di “protezione” rispetto alla concorrenza previste per le società in housee delle particolari condizioni di operatività riservate alle stesse, alcuni aspetti della performance economico-patrimoniale di questa tipologia di aziende. A tal fine si applica lo strumento dell’analisi di bilancio per indici ad un campione di società in housecomunali (n. 135, pari a tutte quelle possedute dai capoluoghi di provincia italiani). Inoltre, al fine di verificare l’esistenza di un legame fra alcuni elementi strutturali delle società in house del campione e la performance delle stesse, si è effettuata una verifica empirica basata sulla metodologia della regressione. I risultati denotano come, in prima battuta, la performance delle aziende indagate siano caratterizzati da alcune criticità, dimostrando deboli presupposti economico-patrimoniali alla sostenibilità dell’attività delle società in houseed evidenziando l’inefficacia della valutazione preventiva di congruità economica richiesta dalla normativa per la costituzione di queste società (nel caso di affidamento di servizi disponibili sul mercato in regime di concorrenza). L’analisi empirica condotta attraverso il metodo della regressione, inoltre, ha consentito di evidenziare legami fra il numero dei dipendenti ed il costo degli stessi e buona parte degli indici di bilancio presi in esame. Nelle conclusioni si suggeriscono alcune possibili evoluzioni dell’analisi effettuata nel presente articolo ed alcuni spunti di riflessione per il legislatore ed il management in tema di società in house.

description: This thesis is intended to study the Techno-economic feasibility analysis of integrating Wind Power Pumped Hydro-Storage system to the existing Hydroelectric Power plants in Ethiopia specially to enhance the volume and efficiency of the Koka Hydropower Plant Station Reservoir by pumping water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir in order to supply reliable and steady water to the turbine. In the analysis five tasks are carried out these are: the critical months that are mainly affected by evaporation and climate change are verified which are March, April, May, June and July, the amount of the water that evaporates from the reservoir per hour is determined by using the Evapo-transpiration calculation technique which is the Penman-Monteith equation with heat storage and it is a method with strong likelihood of correctly predicting ETO in a wide range of locations and climates, by using this method the average hourly evaporation for these five critical months becomes 24,112m3/hr, the cost of a pipeline and the various components that contribute to the economics of pipelines for the study area is carried out including designing a fluid distribution system which is sizing of pipes and ducts, determination of the pressure drop in the system, and the power needed to pump required water to the upper reservoir, Wind energy and turbine investment cost analysis using RETScreen Software, and the economic analysis which is seen from three different perspectives that are: the integration of wind power pumped hydrosystem from the point view of energy security of the Koka Hydropower Plant, the profitability of the wind power used for pumping purpose from the hydroelectric power or the grid power pumping system, and the profitability of wind power used for pumping purpose from the diesel generator power pumping system. Finally from the point view of energy security of the existing Hydropower plants in Ethiopia the integration of the wind power pumped hydro-storage system is the best solution.

description: The mechanism by which proteins recognize and bind the post-transcriptional modifications of RNAs is unknown, yet these interactions play important functions in biology. Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations were performed to examine the folding of the model peptide chain –RVTHHAFLGAHRTVG– and the complex formed by the folded peptide with the native anticodon stem and loop of the human tRNALys3 (hASLLys3) in order to explore the binding mechanism. By analyzing and comparing two folded conformations of this peptide obtained from the folding simulation, we found that the van der Waals (VDW) energy is necessary for the thermal stability of the peptide, and the charge–charge (ELE + EGB) energy is crucial for determining the three-dimensional folded structure of the peptide backbone. Subsequently, two conformations of the peptide were employed to investigate their binding behaviors to hASLLys3. The metastable folded peptide was found to bind to hASLLys3 much easier than the stable folded peptide in the binding simulations. An energetic analysis reveals that the VDW energy favors the binding, whereas the ELE + EGB energies disfavor the binding. Arginines on the peptide preferentially attract the phosphate backbone via the inter-chain ELE + EGB interaction, significantly contributing to the binding affinity. The hydrophobic phenylalanine interacts with the anticodon loop of hASLLys3 via the inter-chain VDW interaction, significantly contributing to the binding specificity.
Towards Feasible Continuous Authentication Using PPG Signal With Deep Autoencoders

Publisher: name: Manara - Qatar Research Repository
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 40
subject: Engineering

description: This Thesis proposes a session-based continuous authentication scheme using photoplethysmography (PPG). The proposed authentication model utilizes the ability of deep autoen-coders to extract relevant features from the row PPG signal. Then, the model uses an outlier detection algorithm (namely Local Outlier Factor) to identify adversaries’ presence in the system. The LOF algorithm needs only to be trained on the honest user data, making it suitable to apply in practical use-cases. Furthermore, The proposed model was tested on the CapnoBase, and BIMDC benchmarking dataset and achieved an F1 score of 89.45% and 93.32%, respectively. The proposed solution was compared to state-of-the-art and achieved a 15% lower EER in relative terms on the bidmc dataset and a higher F1 score by more than 4% on the CapnoBase dataset. Furthermore, the proposed solution provides a faster run time than the competing state-of-the-art solution by requiring around 0.5 seconds for processing 18,000 beats, compared to 3.6 seconds for state-of-the-art —an ≈ 85% reduction.
Can they find it? Yes they can (maybe): results of a materials availability survey

description: Materials availability surveys are a common part of library benchmarking, particularly in Australia, where the CAUL Materials Availability Survey is an industry standard. To meet our comparative benchmarking obligations, and to benchmark ourselves prior to the introduction of a new library system Swinburne ran a benchmarking survey in May 2009. Because materials availability surveys are relatively common, we were able to learn from the experiences of other libraries. Our methodology was considerably influenced by other libraries' experiences: we conducted an online-only version of the CAUL survey, and we attempted to pre-empt the positive bias we have seen in the results of other surveys by making it equally as difficult to report success as failure. Despite our best efforts to gain a realistic picture of information activities within the library, we found that the majority of survey respondents reported on their experiences searching for books, and that the majority of them claimed to be successful: this is in stark contrast to our usage statistics which suggest online journal articles are used considerably more than books, and our library surveys which tell us our patrons are less happy with our book collections than many other resources. Closer examination of our results, however, tells us that the results are not as positive as they first appear, and demonstrates a number of sticking points in the information seeking process. In this paper we will discuss our methodology in more depth, particularly the reasons for running our survey online. We will examine our results more closely, and reflect on where in the search process failure occurs for both online and offline resources. Finally, we will examine the ways in which we might improve our users' experience of searching for resources, even where they did manage to find those resources.

description: Newsrooms are changing, and so is the business model that underpins them. Despite rapid growth in the number of non-profit investigative centres in the United States and many fine examples of quality journalism by such centres, uncertainty remains over the longer-term sustainability of philanthropically-funded journalism. There is a well-founded concern among senior non-profit centre editors that the next few years will see a consolidation in the number of centres, that foundations will shift their funding to other areas, and that there are limited alternative sources of revenue available despite significant and increasing income generation by several non-profits.

description: A critical laboratory experiment, recorded observations from the universe, and physical experiences in natural occurring examples within our living zones empirically derive that there is a strong energy detection and a weak energy detection which generate observable and measurable phenomenon by a process I termed electromagnetic spectrum detection limits. This means that observation made from the universe may be depending on location, contemporaneous, which requires the earth observer to make right decisions of what is seen - therefore I have formulated new scientific perception skills known as observation principles to overcome any errors, known as errors of perception. There is also a correlation generated from the process of electromagnetic spectrum detection limits and the observation of electromagnetic spectrum zones such as the cosmic microwave background radiation and infrared galaxies. The conclusions gained from the laboratory experiment will fundamental change our understanding of the universe and many hypothesizes can be formulated from the results to which will resolve many unexplained abnormalities, improve interconnecting theories, and cement underlying assumptions to provide better and greater scientific reasoning and clarity.

Creators: name: Sheehy, L
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2029

description: The gastropod parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita was formulated into a biological control agent (Nemaslug®) to kill slugs and snails over 30 years ago and is commonly used as an alternative to chemical molluscicides in agriculture. However, the genome of P. hermaphrodita (or any other Phasmarhabditis species) is unknown; and currently no complete sequence of either the mitochondrial or nuclear genome are available. Similarly, the relationships between Phasmarhabditis and their bacterial microbiota are unknown. It had been thought that P. hermaphrodita vectored the bacterium Moraxella osloensis (the bacteria on which P. hermaphrodita is grown on an industrial scale at BASF) into slugs to kill them. Here, I sequenced the genomes of several Phasmarhabditis spp. and analysed the microbial communities of worms and slug hosts. Metagenomic profiling of the bacterial communities associated with several Phasmarhabditis spp. after they had killed their slug host (Deroceras reticulatum) was undertaken, casting doubt on the association between the worms and M. osloensis and that model of pathogenicity. Metagenomic profiling of resistant and susceptible slug hosts was used to investigate how the host microbiome is affected by an infection with P. hermaphrodita. Nuclear genomes were assembled, creating a platform for future studies on the genetics of these species. Ultimately, this research has unravelled the DNA blueprint of these interesting and useful species and could potentially lead to genetically modified Phasmarhabditis and more efficacious slug control agents.

description: This research study aims to shed light on the contributions faith-based organizations (FBOs) around the world have made in achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 – Quality Education - initiated by the United Nations in 2015 to meet the urgent global educational challenges and eliminate them by 2030. There is a substantial number of FBOs across the globe aiming at raising living standards. Among them, there are specific faith actors solely operating to improve the educational facilities for those in need. This research study examines 50 FBOs from diverse societies. It analyzes how they have contributed to educational achievement, how many educational institutions they have shaped, how much they have changed lives, how far they have reached, and what faith has driven them to provide their programs and services and promote education. This is qualitative research with an analytical approach that involves a literature review of several book chapters and academic journals, including school observations, data collection from the organizations’ official sources and publications, and analyses of comparison and contrast with discussions of the results derived from those analyses. The main findings of this research study are a) FBOs came to be known for their contributions not long ago, and the work they have done has not yet received much recognition neither by governments nor in the international arena, which needs to be accelerated to heal the current educational stagnation in impoverished regions; b) FBOs have achieved significant results locally and globally in achieving SDG 4; c) the potential of FBOs in what they possess to offer and provide people, governments and international organizations is strong if properly collaborated.

Incremental change, transition or transformation? Optimising change pathways for climate adaptation in spatial planning
Creators: name: Roggema, Rob

Year: 2024

description: In order to incorporate climate adaptation in spatial planning change is required, because climate change impacts the way we live. This implies that spatial planning, as the arranger of the spatial organisation and layout needs to be able to support this change. Current spatial planning is not yet well equipped to play this role. In this research article three possible routes to navigate change are explored. Incremental change is seen as a slow process, which modifies the landscape only slightly. Transition is seen as a fluent change towards a new future, which is an improved version of the existing; and transformation is seen as a change towards a future that is fundamentally different from the existing. The three pathways are compared and it is concluded that transformational change offers the best perspective in dealing with uncertain, unexpected and unprecedented futures, such as developing in times of climate change. Therefore, transformation is theoretically further elaborated and it is found that a transformational change to a new system already starts at a time when the existing system still fully operates. The change to a new system (called B in this article) therefore already started and the predecessors of B already existed. These 'B-minuses' of the new system can be found through network analysis, where the most intense and connective nodes are the most likely 'B-minuses'. Alternatively B-minuses can be created through locating the areas where key-nodes and existing infrastructure can be related to existing urban functions. As illustrated in the case-study design, these principles are able to guide the design of a climate proof landscape.

Original English abstract: The question of genocide is never far from discussions of settler colonialism. Land is life---or, at least, land is necessary for life. Thus contests for land can be---indeed, often are---contests for life. Yet this is not to say that settler colonialism is simply a form of genocide. In some settler-colonial sites (one thinks, for instance, of Fiji), native society was able to accommodate---though hardly unscathed---the invaders and the transformative socioeconomic system that they introduced. Even in sites of wholesale expropriation such as Australia or North America, settler colonialism's genocidal outcomes have not manifested evenly across time or space. Native Title in Australia or Indian sovereignty in the US may have deleterious features, but these are hardly equivalent to the impact of frontier homicide. Moreover, there can be genocide in the absence of settler colonialism. The best known of all genocides was internal to Europe, while genocides that have been perpetrated in, for example, Armenia, Cambodia, Rwanda or (one fears) Darfur do not seem to be assignable to settler colonialism. In this article, I shall begin to explore, in comparative fashion, the relationship between genocide and the settler-colonial tendency that I term the logic of elimination.1 I contend that, though the two have converged---which is to say, the settler-colonial logic of elimination has manifested as genocidal---they should be distinguished. Settler colonialism is inherently eliminatory but not invariably genocidal.

Gay rights with a side of apartheid
Creators: name: Elia, Nada
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Colonialism and dishonesty have always gone hand in hand. Nineteenth and twentieth century colonial powers sought to justify their imperial designs through a myopic denunciation of the circumstances of women in the colonised societies. These imperial countries pretended to 'save brown women from brown men' by dispossessing and disenfranchising entire peoples. Twenty-first century colonialism has evolved to justify occupation and apartheid as a new and improved 'civilising mission', one that distinguishes itself as gay-friendly, while the downtrodden societies are represented as homophobic. On the other hand, Palestinian queer activism, and the non-violent Palestinian strategy of BDS, which seek equality for all people regardless of their ethnicity, sexuality, or religion, present the model for a queer state, which allows individual citizens to define themselves as they wish, without losing power, entitlement, or safety.
Un geste multidimensionnel. Etude du diptyque geste musicien - geste musicologique

description: La notion de geste musical apparaît comme primordiale tant dans l’appréhension de la production du monde sonore associé à l’œuvre que dans sa réception. Néanmoins, si le geste est actuellement au cœur de nombreuses recherches musicologiques, celui-ci est généralement mis en relation avec l’acte de composer, c’est-à-dire en tant que geste compositionnel. Notre travail, quant à lui, se veut analyser la gestique associée à l’interprète musical et plus particulièrement au guitariste classique. Quelles différentes formes peut prendre la relation entre musique et geste chez le musicien-interprète dans sa transmission de l’œuvre, entre restitution fidèle et recherche d’originalité ? Afin d'apporter des réponses à cette question de départ, il s'agira de mettre en évidence l’existence de deux dimensions essentielles de la gestique de l’interprète que nous nommerons geste musicien et geste musicologique.

description: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an innovative exercise program on muscle strength, balance, and gait kinematics in elderly community-dwellers. The exercise program included strength and balance training and the 8-form Tai Chi Chuan. The measurements were carried out at baseline and 12 weeks, and consisted of four physical performance tests, joint isokinetic strength tests, and three-dimensional gait analysis. Fifty-six community-dwelling older adults aged 60–80 years old were randomly assigned to an intervention or control group. After 12 weeks, the intervention group showed a 17.6% improvement in the timed up and go test, accompanied by a 54.7% increase in the 30-second chair stand test score. Significant increases in the score of star excursion balance tests, and the strength of the extensor and flexor muscles at knee and ankle joints were also observed. In addition, the intervention group walked at a faster speed with a longer step length, shorter support phase, and a greater sagittal plane range of motion at the hip and ankle joints. No statistical improvements were seen in the control group. This study provided an effective, evidence-based falls prevention program that can be implemented in community settings to improve physical fitness and reduce fall risks among community-dwelling older adults. The star excursion balance test could be a sensitive measure of physical performance for fall risk assessment in older people.

Slice Based 3D Cell Segmentation of Optical Projection Tomography Images
Creators: name: Haile, Baye

description: Optical Projection Tomography (OPT) is a new imaging technique used to image cells in 3D cultured in a hydrogel. Reconstructed OPT images of cells suffer from several artifacts. These artifacts reduce the overall image quality. This will create a challenge for isolating and studying each cell in 3D cell culture. It is highly required to enhance the 3D OPT images of cells for successful analysis of cell interaction and growth in 3D cell culture. In that regard, this thesis intends to build a robust algorithm for use in effective segmentation of cells cultured inside hydrogel. There exist various 3D cell segmentation algorithms in the literature including those schemes that rely on thresholding, edge detection, region growing and clustering approaches. Among these algorithms, moving average adaptive thresholding (MAAT) and region growing algorithm present commendable performance in segmentation of cells identified on OPT images. In this thesis the performance of an automatic seeded region growing algorithm (ASRGA) and MAAT have been compared rigorously in terms of their use in 2D slice based segmentation of the cells on the 3D OPT image sets considered. Results have shown that the MAAT method show superior performance and provide promising 3D visualization of cells. The output of the research will have a tremendous contribution to reduce artifacts in 3D cell images and enhance 3D visualization.

description: Die gegenwärtige Corona-Pandemie weckt das Interesse an früheren Seuchen, vor allem an der bislang schwersten Epidemie Europas, den „Schwarzen Tod“ von 1347-1353. Seit Jahren streitet die Wissenschaft über die Bedeutung dieses Ereignisses für die europäische Geschichte. War die Pest Motor oder Bremse des Fortschritts? Wirkte sie als Beschleunigerin von Prozessen wie Säkularisierung oder Territorialisierung? Schuf sie den modernen Glauben an die Naturwissenschaften zu Lasten des mittelalterlichen Vertrauens auf die Wirksamkeit Gottes? Wenig untersucht wurde bislang die Bedeutung der Pest für das Recht. Aus der Entfernung hat man beinahe den Eindruck, dass Rechtswissenschaft und Rechtspraxis von der demographischen Katastrophe in der Mitte des 14. Jahrhunderts völlig unberührt blieben. Der Vortrag möchte diese Beobachtung am Beispiel des Kirchenrechts einer Überprüfung unterziehen. Ausgehend von der Feststellung, dass die Pestepidemie für die Kirche eine ebenso akute wie nachhaltige Krisensituation bedeutete, soll der Frage nachgegangen werden, wie das kirchliche Recht diese Krise bewältigte. Anhand zeitgenössischer Quellenbeispiele wird zu klären sein, welche normativen Instrumente Päpste, Bischöfe, Domkapitel, Klöster und Dorfpriester gegen die Pestfolgen einsetzten: Schwieg man die Probleme tot? Griff man auf tradierte Mittel kirchlicher Krisenbewältigung zurück? Oder setzte die epidemische Situation sogar neue, kreative und zukunftsweisende Problemlösungsideen frei?
