Do authorship regulations in performance-based funding systems affect authorship practices? A case study of German medical faculties.
Creators: name: Aman, Valeria
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: In light of a fair allocation of funds, it is important to better understand how authorship regulations may influence the outcomes of performance-based indicators. This study has shown in how far the authorship regulation proposed by the DFG in 2004 might have affected the author count and author position of medical publications. The DFG authorship regulation was intended to counteract the trend towards increasing author numbers in medical publications. The results indicate a general trend of increased author counts and middle authorship papers. However, the publications with the DFG authorship regulation have lower author counts and lower shares of middle-authorship papers. Even though the results may be affected by a number of other criteria, this study provides some useful, preliminary results to this issue and suggests some areas for further investigation. A fair distribution of authorship credit remains important and could suppress the tendency to unjustified inflation of co-authors because authors will be more reluctant to share their authorship with peers not truly involved in the publication. So far, bibliometric databases only include author positions and author counts. One challenge is the identification of joint first and last authorships because the byline is not included in bibliometric databases. A more complete provision of data on author contribution statements, would allow for more accurate indicators that take author position and contribution into account.

description: Scatina fluvialis Rondani, 1866
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1866b: 28 (key), 29 (description) [1867b: 112 (key), 113 (description)].
TYPE LOCALITY: “ in planitie parmensi [Parmese plains (Italy)]”.
TYPE MATERIAL: 2 ♂♂, syntypes (MZUF: Box 27): Scatina Desv. / fluvialis Rndn., ♂, Parma / 1439; 2 ♀♀ (only one of the two is a syntype but is not labeled as such) (MZUF: Box 27): Scatina Desv. / fluvialis Rndn., ♀, Ital. mer. [= southern Italy], Parma / 1439; 1 ♂, syntype (OUMNH General Collection: Box 164.5): syntype / Type / S. fluvialis Ex. Coll. Big. / syntype ♂ Scatina fluvialis Rondani, 1861 Conf. A.C. Pont 2014 / S. fluvialis Italia Rond. / Scathophaginae Scathophaga fluvialis (Rondani, 1867), Palaearctic.
CURRENT STATUS: doubtful species of Scathophagidae (Gorodkov 1986: 40).
REMARKS: Rondani (1866b: 29) described Scatina fluvialis without specifying the number, the sex or the length of the specimens, publishing the species first in a separate (1866b) and then in the journal version (1867b). We found five specimens under the name Scatina fluvialis in this study (two males and two females in the MZUF and one male in the OUMNH). There are two MZUF females labeled “ Ital. Mer., Parma [= southern Italy, Parma]” but, as the type locality is “Parma”, one of them does not belong to the type series. We are unable to single out which of the two was collected on the Parmese plains. We leave the recognition of this latter syntype to a future specialist. An additional two males and one female in the MZUF, all numbered “1439”, are not included in the type series because their labels are yellowish rather than the greenish color of Rondani’s original handwritten ones and are in a lower row in the Box, for which reason we treat them to be subsequent additions.

description: Overall, the most frequent variation events are removals, while shuffles immediately follow. This could suggest that dataset and software may require skills that not every author in has or that, by any means, some of them have a scarce interest in appearing in the supplementary material. The nature of shuffles is even harder to grasp. While this could be accidental in some cases, we believe that in many occurrences, this is intentional; in fact, 93 shuffles out of 168 (55.35%) involving datasets involve non-adjacent authors, making it harder to happen by mere chance. Additions are the least frequent variation events; nonetheless, this suggests the existence of a considerable "submerged workforce" taking part in research support activities while being underrepresented in literature and hence in traditional rewards and evaluation frameworks. On a side note, the software has a higher percentage of variation events than datasets, potentially taking to the extreme the aforementioned considerations. Unfortunately, the few data points do not permit us to move further hypothesis. Generally speaking, a considerable amount of pairs presents substantial variations between the authors participating in the publication and the authors participating in the dataset (or software) deposition, thus indicating the presence within the examined research community of an alternative accreditation scheme in parallel to the traditional one (i.e., same authors in literature and supplementary material). This confirms our initial hypothesis and poses the premises for a longitudinal, large-scale analysis of the phenomenon.

description: The microaerophilic magnetotactic bacterium Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense swims along magnetic field lines using a single flagellum at each cell pole. It is believed that this magnetotactic behavior enables cells to seek optimal oxygen concentration with maximal efficiency. We analyse the trajectories of swimming M. gryphiswaldense cells in external magnetic fields larger than the earth's field, and show that each cell can switch very rapidly (in < 0.2 s) between a fast and a slow swimming mode. Close to a glass surface, a variety of trajectories was observed, from straight swimming that systematically deviates from field lines to various helices. A model in which fast (slow) swimming is solely due to the rotation of the trailing (leading) flagellum can account for these observations. We determined the magnetic moment of this bacterium using a new method, and obtained a value of (2.0 $\pm$ 0.6) $\times$ $10^{-16}$ Am$^2$. This value is found to be consistent with parameters emerging from quantitative fitting of trajectories to our model.

description: With the increasing industrial relevance of new quantum technologies, a well educated quantum workforce becomes increasingly crucial. The foreseeable lack of workforce raises important questions. What are the expectations regarding the future relevance of second generation quantum technologies? What are the requirements for the workforce in the coming quantum industry? Which competences, knowledge and skills should the future employees have? In this paper, we report the results of our study that was aimed at mapping requirements and forecasts for the future quantum workforce. Our study consisted of three consecutive survey rounds. In total, we gathered $188$ responses from industry and academic experts across Europe. Our study results served as an input for the development of the European Competence Framework for Quantum Technologies, delivered by the project QTEdu CSA for the European Quantum Flagship. In addition, we will discuss predictions from experts related to the future quantum workforce, including the expected industrial relevance of the main areas of quantum technologies, the need for educational efforts, and the expected influence of quantum technologies on everyday life.

description: El presente texto realiza un análisis del uso que las grandes producciones cinematográficas hollywoodienses contemporáneas vienen haciendo de la identidad visual, concretamente de los logotipos y los símbolos visuales que identifican y promocionan un producto. El objeto de estudio se fija a partir de una delimitación temporal que abarca grandes producciones, tanto desde el punto de vista económico como del número de espectadores a nivel mundial durante el presente siglo y se ejemplifica en producciones seriadas y transmedia, como son las franquicias cinematográficas. Para la industria cinematográfica hollywoodiense el concepto de franquicia tiene un valor comercial ineludible porque permite la diseminación de un universo narrativo a través de todo tipo de formatos y constituye una marca de gran valor comercial. Partiendo de esta base, utilizando una metodología descriptiva y cualitativa el texto identifica, define y clasifica los principales usos con intencionalidad comercial y promocional de los logotipos y símbolos de los films, los mundos ficcionales, los estudios cinematográficos que establecen conexiones estratégicas con sus producciones y, por último, los de aquellos personajes y entidades ficticias que aparecen en las historias y son incorporados en las acciones comunicativas.

description: We present a theoretical and experimental study aimed at characterizing statistical regimes in a random laser. Both the theoretical simulations and the experimental results show the possibility of three region of fluctuations increasing the pumping energy. An initial Gaussian regime is followed by a Lévy statistics and Gaussian statistic is recovered again for high pump pulse energy. These different statistical regimes are possible in a weakly diffusive active medium, while the region of Lévy statistics disappears when the medium is strongly diffusive presenting always a Gaussian regime with smooth emission spectrum. Experiments and theory agree in identification of the key parameters determining the statistical regimes of the random laser.

REMARKS: Rondani (1868c: 205) described both sexes of Egginoseura maculipes without specifying either the number or the length of the specimens: “ semel marem legi … Exemplar foemineum misit … Garbiglietti … prope Neapolim inventum, et specimen maris a clar. Haliday olim obtinui in Hibernia captum [I collected the male once … Garbiglietti … sent a female specimen found near Naples, and I obtained a male specimen formerly collected in Hibernia (= Ireland) by Mr. Haliday]”. There are two males labeled “ Irland., Pedem [= Ireland, Piedmont]” in the MZUF but “ Pedem. [= Piedmont]” is not a type locality. We are unable to single out which male was collected in Piedmont. We leave the recognition of this latter syntype to a future specialist.

description: Modularity maximization has been one of the most widely used approaches in the last decade for discovering community structure in networks of practical interest in biology, computing, social science, statistical mechanics, and more. Modularity is a quality function that measures the difference between the number of edges found within clusters minus the number of edges one would statistically expect to find based on random chance. We present a natural generalization of modularity based on the difference between the actual and expected number of walks within clusters, which we call walk-modularity. Walk-modularity can be expressed in matrix form, and community detection can be performed by finding leading eigenvectors of the walk-modularity matrix. We demonstrate community detection on both synthetic and real-world networks and find that walk-modularity maximization returns significantly improved results compared to traditional modularity maximization.

description: Google Scholar has been well received by the research community. Its promises of free, universal and easy access to scientific literature as well as the perception that it covers better than other traditional multidisciplinary databases the areas of the Social Sciences and the Humanities have contributed to the quick expansion of Google Scholar Citations and Google Scholar Metrics: two new bibliometric products that offer citation data at the individual level and at journal level. In this paper we show the results of a experiment undertaken to analyze Google Scholar's capacity to detect citation counting manipulation. For this, six documents were uploaded to an institutional web domain authored by a false researcher and referencing all the publications of the members of the EC3 research group at the University of Granada. The detection of Google Scholar of these papers outburst the citations included in the Google Scholar Citations profiles of the authors. We discuss the effects of such outburst and how it could affect the future development of such products not only at individual level but also at journal level, especially if Google Scholar persists with its lack of transparency.

REMARKS: Rondani (1868c: 211) described both sexes of Elgiva lateritia without specifying either the number or the length of the specimens: “ Foemina tantum lecta … in collibus Parmensibus, et marem ab eq.

Verbeke (1964b: 22) reported two males (we found just one) and one female in the MZUF, and considered one of the two males as the “type”. He unambiguously identified the type (the male specimen labeled as such), which therefore must be considered as the lectotype (I.C.Z.N. 1999: Article 74.5). Elgiva lateritia and Elgiva truquii Rondani, 1863 (Box 28) are both numbered “1495”.

description: A measured magnetozone sequence defined by 24 sampling sites with normal polarity and 28 sites with reverse polarity characteristic magnetizations was established for the heretofore poorly age-constrained Los Colorados Formation and its dinosaur-bearing vertebrate fauna in the Ischigualasto–Villa Union continental rift basin of Argentina. The polarity pattern in this ∼600-m-thick red-bed section can be correlated to Chrons E7r to E15n of the Newark astrochronological polarity time scale. This represents a time interval from 227 to 213 Ma, indicating that the Los Colorados Formation is predominantly Norian in age, ending more than 11 My before the onset of the Jurassic. The magnetochronology confirms that the underlying Ischigualasto Formation and its vertebrate assemblages including some of the earliest known dinosaurs are of Carnian age. The oldest dated occurrences of vertebrate assemblages with dinosaurs in North America (Chinle Formation) are younger (Norian), and thus the rise of dinosaurs was diachronous across the Americas. Paleogeography of the Ischigualasto and Los Colorados Formations indicates prolonged residence in the austral temperate humid belt where a provincial vertebrate fauna with early dinosaurs may have incubated. Faunal dispersal across the Pangean supercontinent in the development of more cosmopolitan vertebrate assemblages later in the Norian may have been in response to reduced contrasts between climate zones and lowered barriers resulting from decreasing atmospheric pCO2 levels.

description: The use of Hausdorff measures and dimension in the theory of Diophantine approximation dates back to the 1920s with the theorems of Jarnik and Besicovitch regarding well-approximable and badly-approximable points. In this paper we consider three inhomogeneous problems that further develop these classical results. Firstly, we obtain a Jarnik type theorem for the set of multiplicatively approximable points in the plane. This Hausdorff measure statement does not reduce to Gallagher's Lebesgue measure statement as one might expect and is new even in the homogeneous setting. Next, we establish a Jarnik type theorem for the set of multiplicatively approximable points on a non-degenerate planar curve. This completes the Hausdorff theory for planar curves. Finally, we show that the set of simultaneously inhomogeneously (i,j)-badly approximable points in the plane is of full dimension. The underlying philosophy behind the proof has other applications; e.g. towards establishing the inhomogeneous version of Schmidt's Conjecture. The higher dimensional analogues of the planar results are also discussed.

CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Knutsonia truquii (Rozkošný & Elberg 1984: 185).
REMARKS: Rondani (1863: 36) described Elgiva truquii without specifying the number, the sex or the length of the specimens collected in Syria by Truqui. In his redescription, Rondani (1868c: 212) specified having a female collected in Damascus (Syria) by E. Truqui and a female collected in Sardinia from M. Spinola, which he reported as a subsequent addition. Verbeke (1964b: 28, 29) considered the two females of Elgiva truquii in the MZUF as belonging to two different species: one as the type of Elgiva truquii from Syria and the other, from Sardinia, as a synonym of Elgiva unipunctata (Macquart, 1849). He erroneously considered the female from Sardinia as the “cotype”. We consider Verbeke’s “type” as the holotype. Elgiva truquii and Elgiva lateritia Rondani, 1868 (Box 28) are both numbered “1495”. This is one of the few exotic species described in Rondani (1863) that Costa (1866) did not list as in the MZUN.

description: We calculate the renormalized vacuum energy of a massless scalar field confined between two nearby parallel plates formed by ideal uncharged conductors, placed tangentially to the surface of a sphere with mass M and radius R. This study will take into account the static and spherically symmetric solution of Horava-Lifshitz gravity found by Kehagias-Sfetsos (KS), in both weak field and infrared limits. A slight amplification of the Casimir force between the conducting plates is found. Thermal corrections to the Casimir energy are analyzed. Based on current Casimir effect measurements, a constraint on the $ω$ parameter of KS metric is also obtained.

Impact of Temperature-dependent resistivity and thermal conduction on plasmoid Instabilities in current sheets in the solar corona

description: In this paper we investigate, by means of two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations, the impact of temperature-dependent resistivity and thermal conduction on the development of plasmoid instabilities in reconnecting current sheets in the solar corona. We find that the plasma temperature in the current sheet region increases with time and it becomes greater than that in the inflow region. As secondary magnetic islands appear, the highest temperature is not always found at the reconnection $X$-points, but also inside the secondary islands. One of the effects of anisotropic thermal conduction is to decrease the temperature of the reconnecting $X-$points and transfer the heat into the $O-$points, the plasmoids, where it gets trapped. In the cases with temperature-dependent magnetic diffusivity, $η\sim T^{-3/2}$, the decrease in plasma temperature at the $X-$points leads to: (i) increase in the magnetic diffusivity until the characteristic time for magnetic diffusion becomes comparable to that of thermal conduction; (ii) increase in the reconnection rate; and, (iii) more efficient conversion of magnetic energy into thermal energy and kinetic energy of bulk motions. These results provide further explanation of the rapid release of magnetic energy into heat and kinetic energy seen during flares and coronal mass ejections. In this work, we demonstrate that the consideration of anisotropic thermal conduction and Spitzer-type, temperature-dependent magnetic diffusivity, as in the real solar corona, are crucially important for explaining the occurrence of fast reconnection during solar eruptions.

Indeed the BSS location, their extension in magnitude and color and their radial distribution within the cluster nicely resemble those observed in M 30, thus suggesting that the same interpretative scenario can be applied: the red BSS sub-population is generated by mass transfer binaries, the blue one by collisions. The discovery of four new W UMa stars, three of which lying along the red-BSS sequence, further supports this scenario. We also found that the inner portion of the density profile deviates from a King model and is well reproduced by either a mild power-law (α-0.2) or a double King profile. This feature supports the hypothesis that the cluster is currently undergoing the core collapse phase. Moreover, the BSS radial distribution shows a central peak and monotonically decreases outward without any evidence of an external rising branch. This evidence is a further indication of the advanced dynamical age of NGC 362: in fact, together with M 30, NGC 362 belongs to the family of dynamically old clusters (Family III) in the "dynamical clock" classification proposed by Ferraro et al. (2012). The observational evidence presented here strengthens the possible connection between the existence of a double BSS sequence and a quite advanced dynamical status of the parent cluster.

description: Background and problem statement Not all non-communicable (NCDs) diseases are preventable, but a healthy lifestyle certainly lowers the risk of serious illness or premature death (WHO 1999). Various efforts have been launched to improve people’s lifestyles. The WHO has been leading several initiatives to assist communities to live a healthy lifestyle. These include the WHO Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health (2004), endorsing recommendations on marketing of foods (2010), the Comprehensive Implementation Plan on Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition (2014) and setting global voluntary targets to prevent and control NCDs. The United Nations also came onboard with the Rome Declaration on Nutrition (2014), which recommended a set of policies/strategies promoting healthy diets across the lifespan. The WHO’s focus on healthy lifestyle centers on recommendations including “eating lots of fruits and vegetables, reducing fat, sugar and salt intake and exercising” (WHO, 2010). In order to increase healthy lifestyles, these messages have to be communicated worldwide. mHealth has been recognized as a strategy to increase health access, more so in resource limited areas (WHO, 2016). The challenge faced by researchers is to synthesize existing mHealth communication strategies supporting a healthy lifestyle in adults with chronic diseases. Conceptual clarity is needed to distinguish between the vast and possible diverse contexts where mHealth communication strategies are used in resource limited and resource rich settings. A systematic approach is therefore indicated to identify research gaps in existing literature within the field of supporting healthy lifestyles in adults with chronic diseases who have possible limited health literacy. Purpose The purpose of the research is to identify research gaps in existing literature concerning mHealth communication strategies to support a healthy lifestyle in adults with chronic diseases who have possible limited health literacy, in order to compile a framework informing research in this specific field.

description: Five redox stages have been observed for the recently synthesized 1,3,5,7-tetra(tert-butyl) derivative 1 of the dicyclopenta[a,e]pentalene, a novel non-alternant hydrocarbon: the radical cation 1 , the neutral compound 1, the radical anion Is, the dianion 1²-, and the radical trianion 1³. Information about the electronic structure of the three paramagnetic stages, 1, 1⁻, and 1³⁻ is provided by the use of ESR, ENDOR, and TRIPLE resonance spectroscopy. The unpaired electron in the trianion resides mainly on the ‘inner’ butadiene-π-system, whereas in the cation and the anion, it is largely localized on the two ‘outer’ five-membered rings.

description: Embedded random matrix ensembles with $k$-body interactions are well established to be appropriate for many quantum systems. For these ensemble the two point correlation function is not yet derived though these ensembles are introduced 50 years back. Two-point correlation function in eigenvalues of a random matrix ensemble is the ensemble average of the product of the density of eigenvalues at two eigenvalues say $E$ and $E^\prime$. Fluctuation measures such as the number variance and Dyson-Mehta $Δ_3$ statistic are defined by the two-point function and so also the variance of the level motion in the ensemble. Recently, it is recognized that for the embedded ensembles with $k$-body interactions the one-point function (ensemble averaged density of eigenvalues) follows the so called $q$-normal distribution. With this, the eigenvalue density can be expanded by starting with the $q$-normal form and using the associated $q$-Hermite polynomials $He_ζ(x|q)$. Covariances $\overline{S_ζS_{ζ^\prime}}$ (overline representing ensemble average) of the expansion coefficients $S_ζ$ with $ζ\ge 1$ here determine the two-point function as they are a linear combination of the bivariate moments $Σ_{PQ}$ of the two-point function. Besides describing all these, in this paper derived are formulas for the bivariate moments $Σ_{PQ}$ with $P+Q \le 8$, of the two-point correlation function, for the embedded Gaussian unitary ensembles with $k$-body interactions [EGUE($k$)] as appropriate for systems with $m$ fermions in $N$ single particle states. Used for obtaining the formulas is the $SU(N)$ Wigner-Racah algebra. These formulas with finite $N$ corrections are used to derive formulas for the covariances $\overline{S_ζS_{ζ^\prime}}$ in the asymptotic limit.

description: As part of the Herschel Guaranteed Time Key Project MESS (Mass loss of Evolved StarS) we have imaged a sample of planetary nebulae. In this paper we present the PACS and SPIRE images of the classical bipolar planetary nebula NGC 650. We used these images to derive a temperature map of the dust. We also constructed a photoionization and dust radiative transfer model using the spectral synthesis code Cloudy. To constrain this model, we used the PACS and SPIRE fluxes and combined these with hitherto unpublished IUE and Spitzer IRS spectra as well as various other data from the literature. The temperature map combined with the photoionization model were used to study various aspects of the central star, the nebula, and in particular the dust grains in the nebula. The central star parameters are determined to be T_eff = 208 kK and L = 261 L_sol assuming a distance of 1200 pc. The stellar temperature is much higher than previously published values. We confirm that the nebula is carbon-rich with a C/O ratio of 2.1. The nebular abundances are typical for a type IIa planetary nebula. With the photoionization model we determined that the grains in the ionized nebula are large (assuming single-sized grains, they would have a radius of 0.15 micron. Most likely these large grains were inherited from the asymptotic giant branch phase. The PACS 70/160 micron temperature map shows evidence for two radiation components heating the grains. The first component is direct emission from the central star, while the second component is diffuse emission from the ionized gas (mainly Ly alpha). We show that previous suggestions that there is a photo-dissociation region surrounding the ionized region are incorrect. The neutral material resides in dense clumps inside the ionized region. These may also harbor stochastically heated very small grains in addition to the large grains.

description: Compound-specific δD measurements can be used for quantitative estimation of source water δD values, a useful tracer for paleohydrologic changes. Such estimates have quantifiable levels of uncertainty that are often miscalculated, resulting in inaccurate error reporting in the scientific literature that can impact paleohydrologic interpretations. Here, we summarize the uncertainties inherent to molecular δD measurements and the quantification of source water δD values, and discuss the assumptions involved when omitting various sources of uncertainty. Using standard protocols from measurement science, we derive the equations necessary to quantify these various sources of uncertainty. We show that analytical uncertainty is usually improperly estimated and that after apparent fractionation between δD values of source water and molecule, normalization of data to the VSMOW scale introduces the largest amount of uncertainty. Lastly, to facilitate systematic error reporting we provide an Uncertainty Calculator spreadsheet to conveniently calculate uncertainty in δD measurements.
Chemical signatures of a warped protoplanetary disc
Creators: name: Young, Alison
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Circumstellar discs may become warped or broken into distinct planes if there is a stellar or planetary companion with an orbit that is misaligned with respect to the disc. There is mounting observational evidence for protoplanetary discs with misaligned inner discs and warps that may be caused by such interactions with a previously undetected companion, giving us a tantalising indication of possible planets forming there. Hydrodynamical and radiative transfer models indicate that the temperature varies azimuthally in warped discs due to the variable angle at which the disc surface faces the star and this impacts the disc chemistry. We perform chemical modelling based on a hydrodynamical model of a protoplanetary disc with an embedded planet orbiting at a 12 degree inclination to the disc. Even for this small misalignment, abundances of many species including CO and HCO$^+$ vary azimuthally and this effect results in detectable azimuthal variations in submillimetre line emission. Azimuthal variations in line emission may therefore indicate the presence of an unseen embedded companion. Nonaxisymmetric chemical abundances should be considered when interpreting molecular line maps of warped or shadowed protoplanetary discs.

description: In this article, we discuss a new software package of kinematic and vertex fitting for the CMD-3 experiment at the VEPP-2000 electron-positron collider. The authors describe in detail the fitting algorithm, parametrization of four-momenta and trajectories of various particles and present the results of testing the fitting package using events of Monte Carlo simulation of various $e^+e^-$ annihilation processes. The authors also provide several examples of the fitting package validation using Gaussian simulation. Although the package discussed in this article is intended for the CMD-3 experiment, it can also be used in other experiments. The authors consider the described package as their first step towards a more universal and rigrous kinematic and vertex fitting package that can be used in future $e^+e^-$ experiments, such as the Super Charm-Tau factory.
