Subjects: research data management
virtual research environment
virtual research platform

description: Moving from day-to-day research to data publication represents a challenge for many researchers. This is especially true for long-tail data. These data are less likely to be shared by researchers and made available to the community. They are many reasons that could explain this lack of sharing. Here, we focus on three factors:

The lack of immediate incentive, researchers limited knowledge on research data management (RDM) and the difficulty to integrate best practices with current practices. We built Pillar Science, a virtual research environment, to help research manage their active research data. It is a non-technical web platform that helps researchers directly benefit from day-to-day RDM while providing them the tools to easily share their finding with the community.

The participatory process of a community involved in its biggest event: the case study “Matera European Capital of Culture 2019”
Creators: name: Pepe, Angela
Publisher: name: eum
Year: 2018

description: The study highlights, from the point of view of territorial marketing, that great events are one of the tools used by a territory to improve or reposition its image, attract tourist flows, value its resources, and activate development processes. They are elements of tourist attraction and entertainment that also have an important social impact on the host community as they contribute to the formation of a strong sense of belonging and a sense of the place. In detail, this study is a work in progress on the empirical case of the mega event “Matera European Capital of Culture 2019”. It focuses on the local people involvement, the value created by the big event on the city perception and the culture of welcome. Participation proves to be a tool used by local communities for creating a sustainable tourism development, that is based on local people’s needs and it has benefits on the territory itself. In this case, thanks to its election as “European Capital of Culture 2019”, Matera enhances its cultural value and moreover achieves a new model of territorial development.

Questo studio evidenzia come nel marketing territoriale i grandi eventi rappresentino degli strumenti per migliorare e riposizionare l’immagine di un territorio, attrarre flussi turistici, valorizzare le risorse e attivare processi di sviluppo. Essi sono elementi di attrazione turistica e intrattenimento che hanno anche un impatto sociale importante sulla comunità ospitante in quanto contribuiscono alla formazione di un forte senso di appartenenza e del luogo. In particolare, la ricerca rappresenta un work in progress verso lo studio del caso empirico di “Matera Capitale Europea della Cultura 2019”, sviluppando il focus sul coinvolgimento della popolazione locale e il valore che crea il grande evento sulla percezione e sulla cultura dell’accoglienza. La partecipazione rappresenta uno strumento ad uso delle comunità locali per dare vita ad una forma di sviluppo turistico sostenibile, basata sulle esigenze locali e volta a creare dei benefici in loco. In questo caso, con la designazione a Capitale Europea della Cultura 2019, Matera potenzia il valore culturale e soprattutto realizza un nuovo modello di sviluppo territoriale.

Design as a strategic asset in visual city branding
Creators: name: Kim, Seo Young
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Design strategy
City branding
Brand communication
Visual image

Tourism websites

description: This thesis aims to investigate city branding via the design of tourism
      websites. The research scheme is shaped by the main themes of this
      research in city branding via tourism websites, cultural attractions and
      visual design. Specifically, this research attempts to identify city
      branding strategies using the visual impact of primary attractions and
      associated components via the representation of well-designed tourism
      websites.

      In comparison to the approach driven by marketing or linguistics in the
      majority of existing literature and theories, this research positioned its
      academic character in visual design-led city branding. In developing the
      research, a primary research question on the subject was posited: How does
      the design context of the tourism websites enhance city branding? To
      specifically examine connected topics identifying answers to the question,
      two subsequent questions and five research propositions were formulated
      within the body of the thesis.

      The research design, which provides substantial data in shaping a strong
      foundation, consisted of two types of research. One is a systematically
      approached web-based study of selected international city brands. The
      other is a series of expert interviews constituting field research in
      Manchester. Methodologically, qualitative research was selected with an
      inductive approach to generate a theoretical framework on the topic of
      culture-driven city branding. For specific research methods, a combination
      of in-depth interviews as field research and cross-analysis via internet
      research on tourism websites was utilised.

      From a visual design perspective, the main findings of the research
      present central themes on city branding. First, design practice and its
      visual outcomes in cities characteristically represented the strategic
      design of both official and unofficial tourism websites. Second, a
      thematically designed visual context of tourism websites supports the
      enhancement of cultural city brand personality. Third, the reputation of
      museums and their design value act as an indispensable branding vehicle in
      creating a cultural city at the international level.

      It is hoped that specific visual design topics generated in a potential
      agenda of cultural city branding constitute a knowledge contribution.
      Development of a conceptual framework to construe a distinctive brand
      vision can be extensively discussed for second-tier cities, such as
      post-industrial Manchester. Furthermore, it is to be hoped that this
      thesis will be of use to emerging cultural cities and their stakeholders
      in creating their own visible branding strategies through their tourism
      websites.

Does the Codification of Law affect its Flexibility? The Catholic Canon Law compared to other Religious Laws
ABSTRACT: Epieikeia in Greek philosophy and aequitas in Roman law are ethical principles, which are open to a religious as well as a secular justification. They are part of the instruments of flexibility that make any legal tradition smooth and adaptable. Jewish and Islamic law as well as Catholic and Orthodox Canon Law apply different kinds of such instruments. A comparison of these legal systems leads to multiple observations: Some scholars, such as Max Weber, considered religious laws to be immutable. In fact, however, they ascribe great significance to flexibility, since they give priority to the spiritual development of individuals. Since many religions are unfamiliar with changes of law by means of legislation, they depend on methods of flexibility to adapt to new social situations. Even those religions, which do have legislation and even codifications, put particular emphasis on instruments of flexibility in order to apply general and abstract norms to individual cases in an appropriate manner.

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2024
Subjects: Environmental Engineering not elsewhere classified

description:  Decarbonizing the electricity grid is an essential component of the worldwide initiative to address climate change and secure a sustainable future. The electricity grid acts as the essential infrastructure of contemporary society. Decarbonizing it will require a shift to cleaner and low-carbon energy sources, such as wind, solar, and hydropower, to meet national decarbonization goals. Public acceptance plays a pivotal role in the success of electricity decarbonization goals. The transition to low-carbon energy sources, such as renewables, hinges on gaining support and understanding from the public. This will require decision-makers and other community leaders to recognize and address public concerns. At the same time, they foster public awareness of the benefits of low-carbon technologies and engage communities in decision-making. 
This dissertation delves into public preferences and social approval of low-carbon technologies in the context of US decarbonization. Chapter 2 introduces Grid2050, a dynamic web-based tool developed using R Shiny that supports users in exploring alternative portfolios of present and possible future electricity generation technologies. A version of this tool serves as a framework for Chapter 3, which focuses on a public survey assessing preferences for low-carbon 2035 electricity portfolios. The study reveals diverse technology preferences where portfolios include novel technologies like CCS and offshore wind. Also, preferences are influenced by demographic factors, such as age, income, and attitudes, emphasizing the need for adaptive strategies. Chapter 4 explores the prediction of county-level wind receptivity using a machine-learning model and data from withdrawn wind project submissions. The results highlight regional variations in factors impacting receptivity, offering a model with potential application to assess the viability of various technologies in different areas. In conclusion, the dissertation contributes valuable insights into public preferences, technology acceptance, and regional receptivity, offering a comprehensive approach to advancing the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable, and resilient energy future in the United States.
Ocean acidification in the Baltic Sea

description: Globally, ocean acidification presents a threat to marine ecosystems. In the Baltic Sea, this process could so far not be quantified, partly due to a lack of appropriate pH observations. This study unravels a positive alkalinity trend in the Baltic Sea over the past two decades that counteracted acidification. Further, state-of-the-art spectrophotometric pH measurements in brackish waters are enabled by characterizing pH buffer solutions and the indicator dye m-Cresol purple at low salinities. Finally, pH fluctuations and their implications for benthic ecosystems are examined.
Essays on Entrepreneurial Finance: Small firms and their banks
Creators: name: Rostamkalaei, Anoosheh
Publisher: name: Publisher unspecified
Year: 2017

description: This thesis is a collection of four empirical essays. The essays are
      linked by their concern with a particular topic in the financing of
      smaller businesses – viz. small firms and their banks. The first essay
      discusses the pricing of the bank loan for growing SMEs. The second essay
      examines the role of financial advice to small firms in alleviating credit
      constraints. The third essay explores patterns of SMEs’ discouragement
      towards borrowing in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. The final
      empirical essay introduces a novel concept (“informal turndown”) designed
      to further illuminate contemporary discussions of discouraged borrowing
      amongst SMEs and empirically compares the profile of firms who
      discouragement stems from informal talks with their banks with those that
      feared rejection. These empirical essays draw on two UK datasets: UK
      survey of SME Finance (2007) and UK SME Finance Monitor (2011-2016).
Metaphorical Machines or Mindless Consumers: Young Working-Class Femininity in Early Postwar Turkey

description: The simultaneous processes of secular state-building and state-led industrialisation resulted in a new ideology of women's labor in Turkey in the 1930s and the first half of the 1940s. As the country moved away from protectionist, state-led industrialisation in the post-war period, female industrial labor received increasing and contradictory attention from policy makers, employers, the new trade union movement, and middle-class feminists. On the one hand, there emerged an idealized image of factory women that emphasized their productive potential by metaphorically linking them with technology and mass production. However, this proud, progressive message was counterbalanced by an anxious, conservative view of young women's work—one that criticized factory girls’ consumption choices as posing a threat to respectable femininity. Weaving together lines of inquiry such as the change in industrialisation policy, women's access to technology, the sexual division of labor, and the emergent consumption patterns, I unpack the tropes of working-class productivity and femininity against the backdrop of the post-war expansion of capitalism in Turkey.
Nurses' Moral Experiences with End-Of-Life Care in a Community Hospital Intensive Care Unit

description: Extant literature has identified how nurses perceive their role and their experience of providing end-of-life care (EOLC) in intensive care units (ICUs). However, there is an empirical gap in what is known about nurses’ provision of EOLC in ICUs of community hospitals and in particular, their moral experiences in the provision of care. Using Thorne’s (2008) Interpretive Description (ID), this study was designed to explore nurses’ moral experiences in providing EOLC in an ICU of a large community hospital. Face-to-face, semi-structured, interviews were conducted with seven nurses who have had experience providing care to dying patients in an ICU of a large community hospital. Findings of the study revealed an overarching theme of “switching gears”, which reflected the moral experiences of the participants as they shifted the focus of their identity and their responsibilities from saving lives to caring for dying patients. The shift in focus included participants being involved with “making a patient palliative”, “providing dignity conserving care”, and “supporting families”. Yet, participants encountered many “struggles” embedded in the community hospital ICU context that made it difficult for them to “switch gears”. These “struggles” included frequent transfers of dying patients out of the ICU, heavier patient assignments, and the multiple roles and responsibilities assumed by participants. This study enhances our knowledge and understanding about ICU nurses’ identity, especially what they take responsibility for in the care of dying patients and their families. Furthermore, the study findings highlight the specific challenges nurses encounter in the community ICU context, while providing EOLC to patients and families. These findings bring about important implications to nursing practice, education and research.
A Decentralized Scholarly Commons
Creators: name: Robinson, Danielle
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: Today’s scholarly research outputs (data, publications, and other digital objects) are stored and accessed via a centralized Web-based infrastructure. Those who control infrastructure and platforms also control content preservation, storage, and access. Centralization has shaped the discovery, access, and reuse of scholarly outputs. Issues such as link rot and inadequate documentation hinder scholarly work. Meanwhile, privatization of online scholarly resources has lead to global inequality in information access, as private web-based services inherently prioritize those with the resources to pay for access. Decentralization introduces a new model for how data are stored, shared, and accessed. Decentralized models require the engagement of network participants and have the potential to create a sustainable scholarly commons. We are collaborating with California Digital Library, San Diego Supercomputer Center, and the Internet Archive to add decentralized properties to their existing data preservation systems. Our shared goal is to spread redundant verified copies of data across many institutions, ensuring open access and reducing long-term costs for libraries. We envision this network as a key step in the cultural repositioning of open knowledge as a commons. It’s time to ask whether traditional, centralized Web architecture aligns with scholarly priorities and values, and to collaboratively move towards new approaches that do.

description: The management of resources is an essential task in each construction company. Today, ERP systems and e-Business systems are available to assist construction companies to efficiently organise the allocation of their personnel and equipment within the company, but they cannot provide the company with the idle resources for every single task that has to be performed during a construction project. Therefore, companies should have an alternative solution to better exploit expensive resources and compensate their fixed costs, but also have them available at the right time for their own business activities. This paper outlines the approach taken by the EU funded project “e-Sharing” (IST-2001-33325) to support resource management between construction companies. It will describe requirements for the management of construction resources, its core features, and the integration approach. Therefore, we will outline the approach of an integrated resource type model supporting the management and classification of construction equipment, construction tasks and qualification profiles. The development is based on a cross-domain analysis and evaluation of existing models. ...

description: Nippostrongylus brasiliensis (Nippo) is a small blood-feeding rodent parasite that is an extremely useful model for the study of human hookworm infection, particularly in regards to the induced immune response.

The current reference genome for this parasite is broken into tens of thousands of pieces with minimal annotation. Despite the small(ish) size of the eukaryotic genome of Nippo, it has a complex repetitive structure that is impossible to correctly assembly using only short reads. When this feature is coupled with the difficulty of obtaining a genetically identical inbred strain of Nippo, it is not surprising that the reference genome is so fragmented.

Despite these challenges, we have now assembled a reasonably complete Nippo genome from a small number of R9.4 MinION runs that has improved scaffold and completeness statistics, while retaining a good representation of the current reference assembly.

description: This research explores the challenges of managing the development and
      delivery of blended learning courses in three higher education institutes
      (HEIs) in Ireland. Taking a case study approach and utilising Cultural
      Historical Activity Theory (CHAT), more specifically Engeström’s (2015)
      activity systems model (ASM), the research seeks to highlight the
      challenges by identifying contradictions in the activity systems for
      developing and delivering blended learning in each of the three HEIs.
      Three cases are examined by compiling separate ASMs for each case that
      reveal three quite different management approaches. A typology of managing
      course development is devised and presented as a means for comparing
      different approaches to managing the development and delivery of blended
      learning courses. The contradictions in each of the ASMs are used to
      identify the challenges associated with each separate approach. The
      activity systems identified, and their corresponding contradictions, are
      used to illuminate the larger debate around the use of new managerialist
      techniques in higher education and what that can mean for collegiality and
      the emergence of what has been described as neo collegiality in higher
      education.

In the complex  pathogenesis  of  ALD  the  involvement  of  mitochondria  is  well  established  and  gross  morphological  alterations  (mega - mito chondria) in the liver biopsies of patients are recognised as hallmarks of ALD. However, the impact and  significance  of  alcohol  on  mitochondrial  architecture,  dynamics  and  on  mitochondria - shaping  proteins  (MSP)  remains unknown due to the lack of good exper imental models. Firstly, we utilised human hepatoma VL - 17A cells  expressing  ethanol - metabolizing  enzymes  to assess the  kinetics  (1 - 14  days) and the  impact  of  increasing  doses  of  alcohol (25 - 250mM) on mitochondrial morphology by confocal and electron micros copy. In order to study alcohol  toxicity  in  normal hepatocytes  and  in  other  hepatic  cell types  an  ex  vivo model  was  also  developed. Precision cut  liver  slices  were  derived  from  human  tissue  and  cultured  for  8 - 72  hours  with  increasing  doses  of  ethanol  (50 - 2 50mM).   The   morphological   analysis   revealed   an   initial   mitochondrial   hyper - fragmentation;   while   mega - mitochondria developed as a consequence of longer exposures. These structural modifications were associated with  changes  in  the  MSP  regulating  fragmentation but  not  fusion,  opening  new  perspectives  in  the  development  of  therapies for ALD aimed to modulate mitochondrial dynamics.

description: The paper describes a method for determining alterations in the state of mitochondria in children suffering leukemia  and myopathies using the origi nal cyto - BIO - chemical (CBCH) method. The method gives a unique solution to the  actual problem of the fundamental medicine  - the evaluation of mitochondria in Humans  without intervention into  the  organism  or  damaging  isolated  organelles.  It  was  shown  that  u nder  immense  changes  in  the  state  of  the  organism, differences in the state of mitochondria are strongly manifested using CBCH biomarkers, such as activity  of  succinate  dehydrogenase  (SDH),  lactate  dehydrogenase  (LDH)  and  the  LDH/SDH  ratio  proposed  by  us  a s  an  indicator  of  the  Warburg  effect  (WEF).  This  parameter  markedly  increases  in  case  of  leukemia  and  decreases  in  case of myopathies. In  addition  to  these  biomarkers,  here   we   demonstrate  previously  unknown   changes   in  the  appearance  of  lymphocytes  of  survi ving  during  development  of  staining.  The  changes  were  observed  in  case  of  diseases  and  absent in lymphocytes from healthy individuals. These changes differ, when incubated with different mitochondrial  substrates. They were the most pronounced upon addition of lactate that is considered as an oncogenic metabolite.  All these new biomarkers are available and applicable in clinical trials.

MITOCHONDRIAL DNA RECOMBINATION, REPAIR AND SEGREGATION: RECENT SCIENTIFIC DATA AND PERSPECTIVES

description: Large  deletions  in  the  mitochondrial  DNA  (mtDNA)  are  the  cause  of  dramatic  neurodegenera tive  diseases  in  humans.  Error - prone  recombination - mediated  repair  has  been  proposed  to  be  the  main  cause  of  deletion.  Recent  investigations indeed brought evidence for mtDNA recombination intermediates and active recombination in heart  and brain mitochond ria, as well as for microhomology - mediated end joining repair of mtDNA. These pathways are  still  poorly  characterized  and  identification  of  recombination  factors  in  mammalian  mitochondria  remains  scarce.  Recombination has been more extensively documented i n plant mitochondria, where repeat - mediated homologous  recombination generates subgenomes and alternative mtDNA configurations. These mechanisms are supported and  tightly  controlled  by  a  series  of  nuclear - encoded  and  mitochondrially  imported  factors  of  pro karyotic  origin  that  seem  to  be  absent  from  mammalian  organelles.  Notably,  knockdown  of  these  factors  in  plant  mutants  promotes  error - prone repair of the  mtDNA. Mutated  mtDNA copies  in  mammalian  mitochondria can become preferentially  amplified and segregat e,  leading to clonal  expansion  in tissues, organs  or following  generations. Similarly, minor  alternative   mtDNA   configurations   in   plants   can   also   segregate   from   the   heteroplasmic   state   and   become  predominant. Knowledge  gained  in plants  and  introduction of p lant factors  into  mammalian  model systems  might  thus shed new light into the field.

Fiscal Policy Trends: Alberta’s Government Spending: How Big a Problem?
Creators: name: McMillan, Melville
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2018

description: The fiscal adjustment that Alberta will have to undertake to put its budget on a sustainable path was a topic of discussion at the September 20th School of Public Policy event on Learning from the Past: Moving towards Alberta’s Fiscal Future. This leads to the question – Should the fiscal adjustment be on the spending side of the budget or on the revenue side? In other words – Does Alberta have a spending problem or a revenue problem? This brief provides some insights into this question by comparing the level of provincial government expenditure relative to provincial household income. That is, what percentage of household incomes do provincial expenditures represent? And, how has that changed over time?

title: The grammar of money
title: an analytical account of money as a discursive institution in light of the
      practice of complementary currencies

description: Since the global financial crisis in 2008, complementary currencies - from

      local initiatives like the Brixton Pound to timebanks,
      business-to-business

      currencies and, of course, Bitcoin - have received unprecedented attention
      by

      academics, policy makers, the media and the general public. However, at

      close theoretic inspection money itself remains as elusive a phenomenon as

      water must be to fish. Economic and business disciplines commonly only

      describe the use and functionality of money rather than its nature.
      Sociology

      and philosophy have a more fundamental set of approaches, but remain

      largely unintegrated in financial policy and common perception. At the
      same

      time, new forms of currency challenge predominant definitions of money and

      their implementation in the law and financial regulation. Unless our

      understanding of money and currencies is questioned and extended to

      consistently reflect theory and practice, its current misalignment
      threatens to

      impede much needed reform and innovation of the financial systems towards

      equity, democratic participation and sustainability. After reviewing
      current

      monetary theories and their epistemological underpinning, this thesis

      proposes a new theoretic framework of money as a ‘discursive institution’
      that

      can be applied coherently to all monetary phenomena, conventional and

      unconventional. It also allows for the empirical analysis of currencies
      with the

      methodologies of neo-institutionalism, practice theory and critical
      discourse

      analysis. This will here be demonstrated in a transdisciplinary
      triangulation

      concerning three sets of data from the diverse field of complementary

      currencies, the publications of the Bank of England and monetary laws from

      the United States. The findings do not only demonstrate the heuristic
      value of

      the theory of discursive institutionalism in regard to money and

      complementary currencies, but highlight how regulatory and legal
      definitions

      even of conventional money lack the coherence and clarity required to

      appropriately explicate monetary innovation. Accordingly, this study
      concludes

      with recommendations for monetary theory, policy and research that can

      address the current inconsistencies.

description: Our  main  goal  is  to  identify  mitochondrial  susceptibility  genes  for  human  complex  diseases.  Using  different  genotyping  platforms  we  performed   mitochondrial   genome   wide  association  analysis  (mtGWAs)  in  the  KORA  populat ion  (3,080  individuals)  with  several  complex  diseases  (post - traumatic  stress  disorder,  metabolic  syndrome,  depression,  and  asthma),  physiological  parameters  (BMI,  cholesterol  profile,  and  triglycerides)  as  well  as  with  life  style  factors  (smoking,  alcohol  consumption,  and  physical  activity).  In  this  study  w e  report  several  mitochondrial  genetic  variants  associated  with  post - traumatic  stress  disorder  and  metabolic  syndrome.  BMI,  HDL  cholesterol  and  triglyceride (TG) levels were also associated to mitochondri al variants, indicating that the presence of  heteroplasmy in these variants may influence the balance of HDL cholesterol and TG levels. We also  observed  that  lack  of  physical  activity,  alcohol  abuse ,  and  smoking  may  increase  the  heteroplasmy  levels  of  mito chondrial  genetic  variants.  As  fluctuations  in  mtDNA  heteroplasmy  may  signify  alterations in cellular activity,  our findings highlight the important role of the mtDNA as a biomarker  for aging - related diseases, metabolic syndrome, and lifestyle factors.

description: A project-based course is where students engage in a series of projects, which help lead students to a defined level of skill as specified in the course goals. Unlike a traditional lecture course where students are given examinations to assess the level of student knowledge and understanding, a project-based course may not include any formal examination. The assessment of student progress is often based on the quality of course projects. For this research, students in project-based courses were given a formal exam at the end of the course. The objective of the exam was to determine if there was a discrepancy between student performance on the exam and their projects. While the majority of students performed remarkably similarly on their exam and projects, a number of students (25%) did perform quite differently. This study demonstrated that examinations are still a critical tool for assessing student skill level in project-based courses.A project-based course is where students engage in a series of projects, which help lead students to a defined level of skill as specified in the course goals.

Random allocation of students into small groups in problem-based learning can create significant between-group variation during the assessment process

description: In problem-based learning large cohorts of students are divided into smaller groups that pursue learning objectives with separate instructors called tutors. This presents challenges for tutors tasked with providing similar educational experiences and assessment of multiple groups of students. Here we evaluated between-group variation in test scores that are attributable solely to random sampling without replacement process used to form smaller groups. We then compared this with the actual between-group variation in test scores in a university-level zoology class over 4 years. We found the variation attributable exclusively to group formation accounted for a 14.4-16.2 point differential between groups whereas differences in empirical test scores attributable to group formation and other factors such as tutor capacity and group dynamics ranged from 12-18 points and rarely exceeded the variation inherent solely to group formation. This implies ad-hoc strategies for reducing variation between groups at the assessment phase will have limited success.
