The AstraZeneca affair. How the junk news regime affected the public debate on the COVID-19 vaccination controversy in Italy
Creators: name: Pilati, Federico

Publisher: name: Tecnoscienza – Italian Journal of Science & Technology Studies
Year: 2023

description: In recent years, there has been a notable increase in the presence of techno-scientific issues within public discourse, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. This proliferation has been attributed to the pervasive attention economy, which drives actors in hybrid media ecosystems to seek attention-grabbing topics. Socio-technical issues, known to evoke strong emotions like outrage and rivalry, have become recurring themes in both news and social media discussions. However, the regulatory mechanisms of the attention economy often impede the full exploration of these controversies in the public sphere, as news cycles and audience attention accelerate due to the prioritization of engaging content on social media platforms. This trend towards attention-driven content has compelled news organizations to adapt their business models, resulting in an environment where citizens may rely on confirmation bias, ultimately leading to polarization of public opinion. Consequently, effectively addressing controversies in today’s public debate has become increasingly challenging. To understand the extent of influence exerted by junk news – a transient form of content that distracts rather than nourishes public discourse – we conducted a case study focused on the controversy surrounding the adverse and lethal side effects of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine during the vaccination campaign in Italy. Our analysis, based on a comprehensive dataset of 798,954 tweets and 31,169 news articles spanning a six-month period, reveals three interconnected information disorders. Firstly, the vaccine debate displayed a relatively stagnant progression punctuated by sporadic spikes of attention. Secondly, the peaks of the debate involved sensationalized coverage in journalism and amplified discussions on Twitter, primarily centred around suspected vaccine-related deaths. Lastly, reports of these deaths by legacy media accounts on Twitter correlated with an increasing ideological and partisan reaction from social media users over time, contributing to polarization. These findings shed light on how the junk news regime can impede the shaping of public debates, particularly on contentious socio-technical issues such as vaccination campaigns. The implications of this research extend to the broader understanding of public engagement with science and the challenges posed by attention-driven media ecosystems.

Buffering lidocaine heightens aversion to cornual nerve injections in dairy calves

description: It is best practice to numb the horn buds before disbudding dairy calves, which can be achieved by injecting lidocaine, a local anesthetic, around the cornual nerve. In humans, the acute pain that occurs upon injection of lidocaine can be reduced by neutralizing the pH of the solution with an alkalizing agent, such as sodium bicarbonate. We evaluated whether buffering lidocaine would reduce calves' behavioral and physiological responses to cornual nerve blocks on the left and right side of the head. Female Holstein calves were assigned 1 of 3 treatments: cornual nerve blocks with 5.5 mL of unbuffered lidocaine (n = 9), buffered lidocaine (n = 9), or a sham procedure with no needle inserted (n = 9). Calves that received either type of lidocaine struggled more during the injection than sham calves. However, contrary to our hypothesis, struggling was most marked in calves that received buffered lidocaine. Similarly, calves administered unbuffered or buffered lidocaine had elevated heart rates for 1 or 3 min after the first injection, respectively, compared to the end of the 5-min observation period. Calves in the buffered treatment had lower eye temperatures in the first half of the observation period compared to the second half, consistent with responses cattle show to other aversive procedures, but no changes over time were observed in the other 2 treatments. There were no treatment differences in heart rate variability measures. These results suggest that cornual nerve blocks are aversive, at least in the short term, and that buffering the lidocaine worsens the calf's response to this procedure.

description: In 2011, researchers from the Urban Institute launched a three-year study of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning (LGBTQ) youth; young men who have sex with men (YMSM); and young women who have sex with women (YWSW) engaged in survival sex in New York City. Working in partnership with the New York City–based organization Streetwise and Safe (SAS), researchers trained youth leaders to conduct in-depth interviews with a total of 283 youths who engaged in survival sex in New York City and identified themselves as LGBTQ, YMSM, or YWSW. During these interviews, youth were asked a wide range of questions about their backgrounds and experiences. The information they shared paints a vivid picture of how they survive in the face of adversity, often dealing with issues rooted in poverty, homophobia, transphobia, racism, child abuse, and criminalization.

description: Prediction-based transformation is applied to control-affine systems with distributed input delays. Transformed system state is calculated as a prediction of the system's future response to the past input with future input set to zero. Stabilization of the new system leads to Lyapunov-Krasovskii proven stabilization of the original one. Conditions on the original system are: smooth linearly bounded open-loop vector field and smooth uniformly bounded input vectors. About the transformed system which turns out to be affine in the undelayed input but with input vectors dependent on the input history and system state, we assume existence of a linearly bounded stabilizing feedback and quadratically bounded control-Lyapunov function. If all assumptions hold globally, then achieved exponential stability is global, otherwise local. Analytical and numerical control design examples are provided.
Supplementary material of the chromosome-scale genome of the grape powdery mildew

description: Erysiphe necator is an obligate fungal pathogen that causes grape powdery mildew (GPM), globally the most important disease on grapevines. Previous attempts to obtain a quality genome assembly for this pathogen were hindered by its high content in repetitive DNA. Here, we combined chromatin conformation capture (Hi-C) with long-read PacBio sequencing to obtain a chromosome-scale assembly and a high-quality annotation for E. necator isolate EnFRAME01. The resulting 81.1 Mb genome assembly is 98% complete and consists of 34 scaffolds, 11 of which represent complete chromosomes. All chromosomes contain large centromeric-like regions and lack synteny to the 11 chromosomes of the cereal PM pathogen Blumeria graminis. Further analysis of their composition showed that repeats and transposable elements (TEs) occupy 62.7% of their content. TEs were almost evenly interspersed outside centromeric and telomeric regions, and massively overlapped with regions of annotated genes, suggesting that they could have a significant functional impact. Abundant gene duplicates were observed too, particularly in genes encoding candidate secreted effector proteins (CSEPs). Moreover, younger in age gene duplicates exhibited more relaxed selection pressure and were more likely to be located physically close in the genome than older duplicates. A total of 122 genes with copy number variations among six isolates of E. necatorwere also identified and were enriched in genes that were duplicated in EnFRAME01, indicating they may reflect an adaptive variation. Taken together, our study illuminates higher-order genomic architectural features of E. necator and provides a valuable resource for studying genomic structural variations in this pathogen.

description: In a search of the unidentified Fermi gamma-ray source 3FGL J1417.5-4402 with the Parkes radio telescope, we discovered PSR J1417-4402, a 2.66 ms pulsar having the same 5.4 day orbital period as the optical and X-ray binary identified by Strader et al. The existence of radio pulsations implies that the neutron star is currently not accreting. Substantial outflows from the companion render the radio pulsar undetectable for more than half of the orbit, and may contribute to the observed Halpha emission. Our initial pulsar observations, together with the optically inferred orbit and inclination, imply a mass ratio of 0.171+/-0.002, a companion mass of M_2=0.33+/-0.03 Msun, and a neutron star mass in the range 1.77

Contested Visions of Cyborgs: Sociotechnical Futures in the Field of Brain-Computer Interfaces
Creators: name: Favalli, Roberto
Publisher: name: Tecnoscienza – Italian Journal of Science & Technology Studies
Year: 2023

description: Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are a cutting-edge neurotechnology that allows direct interaction between the neural system and external electronic systems. Over the past decade, the field of BCI has witnessed far-reaching promises and expectations, especially regarding the merging of humans and machines. Drawing from the STS literature analysing the relationship between technological innovation and representations of the future, the paper looks at the field of BCIs and at the related expert-scientific debate as a discursive arena where particular visions of cyborg are enacted. Through the notion of visions, representations of the future and discourses of BCIs are explored and analysed within the scholarly literature. Whilst the future of these technologies is usually approached through the question: “Are we all going to become cyborgs?”, the question addressed in this contribution is the following: “Which kind of cyborgs are enacted here?”. The findings reveal two visions of cyborg; the first considers the subject’s intentionality as a key element in steering the human-machine interaction, while the second looks at human-machine entanglement as a machine adaptation that takes place beyond the subject’s intentionality. A detailed analysis also shows how these visions are enacted as assemblages of different discursive repertoires and associations mediating and shaping specific cyborg visions.

description: We reanalyze near-infrared spectra of the young extrasolar giant planet 51 Eridani b which was originally presented in (Macintosh et al. 2015) and (Rajan et al. 2017) using modern atmospheric models which include a self-consistent treatment of disequilibrium chemistry due to turbulent vertical mixing. In addition, we investigate the possibility that significant opacity from micrometeors or other impactors in the planet's atmosphere may be responsible for shaping the observed spectral energy distribution (SED). We find that disequilibrium chemistry is useful for describing the mid-infrared colors of the planet's spectra, especially in regards to photometric data at M band around 4.5 $μ$m which is the result of super-equilibrium abundances of carbon monoxide, while the micrometeors are unlikely to play a pivotal role in shaping the SED. The best-fitting, micrometeroid-dust-free, disequilibrium chemistry, patchy cloud model has the following parameters: effective temperature $T_\textrm{eff} = 681$ K with clouds (or without clouds, i.e. the grid temperature $T_\textrm{grid}$ = 900 K), surface gravity $g$ = 1000 m/s$^2$, sedimentation efficiency $f_\textrm{sed}$ = 10, vertical eddy diffusion coefficient $K_\textrm{zz}$ = 10$^3$ cm$^2$/s, cloud hole fraction $f_\textrm{hole}$ = 0.2, and planet radius $R_\textrm{planet}$ = 1.0 R$_\textrm{Jup}$.

Living with an upper- or lower-limb prosthesis: The material remaking of the body through the prosthesis’s presence and absence

description: Prostheses are complex, ambivalent, and non-uniform objects. Even before it “exists” as a material entity, the prosthesis, and more specifically the future body-prosthesis relation, is already present in one’s amputation and rehabilitation trajectory. It is indeed integrated by healthcare professionals in amputation surgical protocols as well as during care in the pre-fitting rehabilitation phase. Not there yet, it still shapes, materially, amputees’ bodies. Likewise, while amputees wait for its arrival, the prosthesis is an object they imagine and possibly fantasise about. Then, once manufactured and materially present, prostheses become part of a long, uncertain, and ever-changing process of creating a body-prosthesis alliance. Spanning from rehabilitation to daily-life at home, this process oscillates between adaptation and dis-adaptation, embodiment and rejection, capacities and limitations, hopes and disappointments. Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted with amputees and healthcare professionals in France, the purpose of this article is to delve into amputees’ daily experiences, in order to grasp the complexity of the alliance that is woven between amputees’ bodies and prostheses over time. More precisely, we will use the dialectic of absence and presence as a guide for our analysis, since these two notions are enlightening to understand the complex embodiment and collaboration between the amputee, his/ her body, and his/her prosthesis. They shed light on the temporalities, the spaces, and the issues of the body-prosthesis relationship in the process of embodiment and appropriation throughout the life course.

description: Bacterial growth depends crucially on metabolic fluxes, which are limited by the cell's capacity to maintain metabolic enzymes. The necessary enzyme amount per unit flux is a major determinant of metabolic strategies both in evolution and bioengineering. It depends on enzyme parameters (such as kcat and KM constants), but also on metabolite concentrations. Moreover, similar amounts of different enzymes might incur different costs for the cell, depending on enzyme-specific properties such as protein size and half-life. Here, we developed enzyme cost minimization (ECM), a scalable method for computing enzyme amounts that support a given metabolic flux at a minimal protein cost. The complex interplay of enzyme and metabolite concentrations, e.g. through thermodynamic driving forces and enzyme saturation, would make it hard to solve this optimization problem directly. By treating enzyme cost as a function of metabolite levels, we formulated ECM as a numerically tractable, convex optimization problem. Its tiered approach allows for building models at different levels of detail, depending on the amount of available data. Validating our method with measured metabolite and protein levels in E. coli central metabolism, we found typical prediction fold errors of 3.8 and 2.7, respectively, for the two kinds of data. ECM can be used to predict enzyme levels and protein cost in natural and engineered pathways, establishes a direct connection between protein cost and thermodynamics, and provides a physically plausible and computationally tractable way to include enzyme kinetics into constraint-based metabolic models, where kinetics have usually been ignored or oversimplified.
Rediscussing The Primacy of Scientific Expertise: A Case Study on Vaccine Hesitant Parents in Trentino

Publisher: name: Tecnoscienza – Italian Journal of Science & Technology Studies
Year: 2023

description: Vaccine hesitancy constitutes a pressing social issue. Media and institutions frequently portray vaccine-hesitant parents as ignorant and anti-scientific. This exploratory study – conducted in the Autonomous Province of Trento (Italy) in 2018 – analyses organized parents opposing the reinforcement of childhood vaccination mandates. Semi-structured interviews with vaccine-hesitant parents and physicians with experience with vaccine-hesitant patients, and participant observation were conducted to understand the perceptions of childhood vaccination mandates, focusing on narratives regarding the role played by science and scientific experts in the vaccine debate. Analysed through the lens of sociology of health and Science and Technology Studies, results highlight that vaccine hesitancy cannot be reduced to anti-scientific attitudes. Hesitant parents’ vaccination decisions are based on a different perspective of their children’s health and on alternative forms of expertise; there are persistent weaknesses in the doctor-patient and expert-citizen relationship in a deeply dualistic vaccine-related debate; and there is the need for a dialogue between institutions and vaccine-hesitant parents.

description: Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-empowered communication is an emerging technology that has recently received growing attention as a potential candidate for next-generation wireless communications. Although RISs have shown the potential of manipulating the wireless channel through passive beamforming, it is shown that they can also bring undesired side effects, such as reflecting the electromagnetic interference (EMI) from the surrounding environment to the receiver side. In this study, we propose a novel EMI cancellation scheme to mitigate the impact of the EMI by exploiting its special time-domain structure and considering a clever passive beamforming method at the RIS. Compared to its benchmark, computer simulations show that the proposed scheme achieves superior performance in terms of the average signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and outage probability (OP), especially when the EMI power is comparable to the power of the information signal impinging on the RIS surface.

description: Motivated by applications to seed germination, we consider the transverse deflection that results from the axisymmetric indentation of an elastic membrane by a rigid body. The elastic membrane is fixed around its boundary, with or without an initial pre-stretch, and may be initially curved prior to indentation. General indenter shapes are considered, and the load-indentation curves that result for a range of spheroidal tips are obtained for both flat and curved membranes. Wrinkling may occur when the membrane is initially curved, and a relaxed strain-energy function is used to calculate the deformed profile in this case. Applications to experiments designed to measure the mechanical properties of seed endosperms are discussed.

description: Computers are widely utilized in today's weather forecasting as a powerful tool to leverage an enormous amount of data. Yet, despite the availability of such data, current techniques often fall short of producing reliable detailed storm forecasts. Each year severe thunderstorms cause significant damage and loss of life, some of which could be avoided if better forecasts were available. We propose a computer algorithm that analyzes satellite images from historical archives to locate visual signatures of severe thunderstorms for short-term predictions. While computers are involved in weather forecasts to solve numerical models based on sensory data, they are less competent in forecasting based on visual patterns from satellite images. In our system, we extract and summarize important visual storm evidence from satellite image sequences in the way that meteorologists interpret the images. In particular, the algorithm extracts and fits local cloud motion from image sequences to model the storm-related cloud patches. Image data from the year 2008 have been adopted to train the model, and historical thunderstorm reports in continental US from 2000 through 2013 have been used as the ground-truth and priors in the modeling process. Experiments demonstrate the usefulness and potential of the algorithm for producing more accurate thunderstorm forecasts.

A fundamental mechanism for carbon-film lubricity identified by means of ab initio molecular dynamics

description: Different hypotheses have been proposed to explain the mechanism for the extremely low friction coefficient of carbon coatings and its undesired dependence on air humidity. A decisive atomistic insight is still lacking because of the difficulties in monitoring what actually happens at the buried sliding interface. Here we perform large-scale ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of both undoped and silicon-doped carbon films sliding in the presence of water. We observe the tribologically-induced surface hydroxylation and subsequent formation of a thin film of water molecules bound to the OH-terminated surface by hydrogen bonds. The comparative analysis of silicon-incorporating and clean surfaces, suggests that this two-step process can be the key phenomenon to provide high slipperiness to the carbon coatings. The water layer is, in fact, expected to shelter the carbon surface from direct solid-on-solid contact and make any counter surface slide extremely easily on it. The present insight into the wettability of carbon-based films can be useful for designing new coatings for biomedical and energy-saving applications with environmental adaptability.

description: Federal Sentencing Disparity, 2005-2012, examines patterns of federal sentencing disparity among white and black offenders, by sentence received, and looks at judicial variation in sentencing since Booker vs. United States, regardless of race. It summarizes U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, discusses how approaches of other researchers to the study of sentencing practices differ from this approach, defines disparity as used in this study, and explains the methodology. This working paper was prepared by Abt Associates for BJS in response to a request by the Department of Justice’s Racial Disparities Working Group to design a study of federal sentencing disparity. Data are from BJS’s Federal Justice Statistics Program, which annually collects federal criminal justice processing data from various federal agencies. The analysis uses data mainly from the U.S. Sentencing Commission.

description: Megahertz peaked-spectrum (MPS) sources have spectra that peak at frequencies below 1 GHz in the observer's frame and are believed to be radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN). We recently presented a new method to search for high-redshift AGN by identifying unusually compact MPS sources. In this paper, we present European VLBI Network (EVN) observations of 11 MPS sources which we use to determine their sizes and investigate the nature of the sources with ~10 mas resolution. Of the 11 sources, we detect nine with the EVN. Combining the EVN observations with spectral and redshift information, we show that the detected sources are all AGN with linear sizes smaller than 1.1 kpc and are likely young. This shows that low-frequency colour-colour diagrams are an easy and efficient way of selecting small AGN and explains our high detection fraction (82%) in comparison to comparable surveys. Finally we argue that the detected sources are all likely compact symmetric objects and that none of the sources are blazars.

description: The purpose of this deliverable is to collect the results of Needs-Policy Mapping task (T4.4) that aims to match the rural needs of 12 PoliRural pilot regions against current policies and public or private strategies present in their region and if co-funded by EU match also these to the relevant EU´s Structural and Invesment Funds. This deliverable also presents the mission statements and rural policy structures in every PoliRural pilot regions and thus allows access to explore pilot areas more in-depth and use the information in the becoming steps of the project. The legal and political framework conditions in the pilot regions involved vary and the uniqueness of the situation in every pilot region is respected in this analyse. Therefore, the analysis of the policy mix is based on a brief consideration of the respective governance structures related to rural policy and rural development. In this deliverable, Needs-Policy Canvases are presented in as tables that include the columns: need, title of the policy/programme, structural/investment fund, policy level, link to the policy document.
