description: Aim: To facilitate a risk-based approach for the supervision of clinical trials on medicinal products, we identified and categorized indicators that may present an elevated safety and/or ethical risk for participants, and/or for data integrity. The indicators are relevant for all stakeholders including participants, regulatory bodies, health care inspectorates, sponsors and trial sites. Methods: The sources of indicators included Medline (using the search terms risk-based/-triggered/-driven oversight/monitoring/inspection), relevant documents from websites of regulatory authorities in Europe, North America and Australia, and results of a brainstorm session organized for experts working in the field. Indicators were classified according to risk area (safety and ethical, data integrity, or both). Results: In total, we identified 69 risk indicators that were categorized into six branch-levels of the taxonomy. We visualized the taxonomy in a tree structure to clearly distinguish individual indicators. In addition to readily detectable risk indicators, more context-related aspects determine the final impact of the trial and constitute further components in risk assessment. Context-related aspects include potential high media attention, consequences for the reputation of medical research, and the socioeconomic situation in the geographic region and have to be considered on a case-by-case basis. Conclusions: We identified a wide array of risk indicators for clinical trials on medicinal products and we used a tree structure to incorporate the indicators identified to clearly distinguish individual indicators and to enable efficient use of the indicators. The overview of indicators may facilitate multiple stakeholders in developing structured risk assessment (identification and analysis) for supervising clinical trials on medicinal products. Stakeholders can interpret and prioritize the indicators from their own perspective.
Sacred Signs or Mundane Scribblings? A Survey of Medieval Graffiti in Tyrol
Creators: name: Schmitz-Esser, Romedio
Publisher: name: Journal of Early Modern Studies
Year: 2020

description: This article asks for the respective importance of mundane and religious aspects in pre-modern graffiti writing and reflects upon differences in education by class and gender of the graffiti writers. In contrast to most research in this field, the observations here are not based on the scrutiny of a specific site or an urban setting, but they consider the vast amount of graffiti from a whole region, the Tyrol. It is shown that a regional male elite ranks first amongst the graffiti writers and that their writings on walls served social purposes within this group. Here, women and lower classes were mainly absent. This questions our modern understanding of graffiti as ephemeral writing and as a spontaneous, faithful picture of society regardless of class: in fact, graffiti were often used for inscriptions with high durability, reminding of the dead or an act of donation toward a church or chapel. Their content was rather conform with conservative ideas and – in contrast to other regions – did only rarely touch directly upon political issues, although indirect reflexes on the process of Confessionalization can be observed. At the same time, the communication with the beyond has been another reason for graffiti writing. In drawing gallows, devils, and religious symbols on church walls, their writers tried to reach beyond the community of the living, too.

Phonetic observations on stress and tones in Mandarin Chinese
Creators: name: Moore, Corinne B.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 1993

description: Phonetic research on stress has shown that fundamental frequency and duration are effective acoustic correlates of stress in many languages (e.g., Fry, 1955; see Lehiste, 1970; and Cooper and Sorensen, 1981). Thus, we expect stressed syllables to have higher FO and longer durations than unstressed syllables, other factors being equal. In addition to these effects, stress has been shown to affect formant values in vowels. For example, formants in unstressed vowels may centralize, becoming more schwa-like (Lindblom,
 1963). Therefore, stress, or rather lack of stress, may sometimes alter the acoustic characteristics of phonemes to the point of neutralization. While substantial data exist documenting the effects of stress on segments and syllables, there has been less investigation of stress in lexical tones. In particular, there is little published data examining the effectiveness of FO and duration as correlates of stress for tones. Moreover, it is not clear how stress-altered FO patterns may affect tones, which critically depend upon FO for phonemic contrasts. For instance, it is conceivable that changes in FO due to lack of stress may neutralize the distinctive contour of a tone, similar to the case of centralized formants in unstressed vowels. To examine the effects of stress on tones, the current study reports data on stress in Mandarin Chinese. In Mandarin, four tones serve to distinguish all lexical items except a small number of atonic syllables. Syllables with tones may have primary, secondary and lower degrees of stress, while atonic syllables are always unstressed. This study presents evidence in two areas. First, the investigation provides data on the acoustic correlates of stress in Mandarin tones. Second, the study considers whether FO contours of unstressed tones reduce or neutralize completely, resulting in tonelessness.

description: The description of neuronal activity has been of great importance in neuroscience. In this field, mathematical models are useful to describe the electrophysical behaviour of neurons. One successful model used for this purpose is the Adaptive Exponential Integrate-and-Fire (Adex), which is composed of two ordinary differential equations. Usually, this model is considered in his standard formulation, i.e., with integer order derivatives. In this work, we propose and study the fractal extension of Adex model, which in simple terms corresponds to replacing the integer derivative by non-integer. As non-integer operators, we choose the fractal derivatives. We explore the effects of equal and different orders of fractal derivatives in the firing patterns and mean frequency of the neuron described by the Adex model. Previous results suggest that fractal derivatives can provide a more realistic representation due to the fact that the standard operators are generalized. Our findings show that the fractal order influences the inter-spike intervals and changes the mean firing frequency. In addition, the firing patterns depend not only on the neuronal parameters but also on the order of respective fractal operators. As our main conclusion, the fractal order below the unit value increases the influence of the adaptation mechanism in the spike firing patterns.

description: Sentiment analysis can be used for stock market prediction. However, existing research has not studied the impact of a user's financial background on sentiment-based forecasting of the stock market using artificial neural networks. In this work, a novel combination of neural networks is used for the assessment of sentiment-based stock market prediction, based on the financial background of the population that generated the sentiment. The state-of-the-art language processing model Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) is used to classify the sentiment and a Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) model is used for time-series based stock market prediction. For evaluation, the Weibo social networking platform is used as a sentiment data collection source. Weibo users (and their comments respectively) are divided into Authorized Financial Advisor (AFA) and Unauthorized Financial Advisor (UFA) groups according to their background information, as collected by Weibo. The Hong Kong Hang Seng index is used to extract historical stock market change data. The results indicate that stock market prediction learned from the AFA group users is 39.67% more precise than that learned from the UFA group users and shows the highest accuracy (87%) when compared to existing approaches.

description: The explosive growth of online education environments is generating a massive volume of data, specially in text format from forums, chats, social networks, assessments, essays, among others. It produces exciting challenges on how to mine text data in order to find useful knowledge for educational stakeholders. Despite the increasing number of educational applications of text mining published recently, we have not found any paper surveying them. In this line, this work presents a systematic overview of the current status of the Educational Text Mining field. Our final goal is to answer three main research questions: Which are the text mining techniques most used in educational environments? Which are the most used educational resources? And which are the main applications or educational goals? Finally, we outline the conclusions and the more interesting future trends.

Subjects: Education

description: There is continuous debate on the role of digital media tools in art and design Higher Education, and in particular their potential contribution towards teaching and learning. The related literature indicates that there is a dichotomy between digital and traditional tools. This study investigates the views of a cohort of art and design students who undertook a specific instructional task, but instead of using paper and pencil, they used iPads. It is claimed that this computer tablet has considerable potential to enhance teaching
and learning, and this study sought to investigate this claim. Inductive qualitative content analysis was used to analyse the interviews provided by 32 (n532) students. Based on the
categories that emerged from the analysis of interviews, and within the parameters of this study, the main inference is that the relationship between digital and traditional tools can
be better understood as complementary rather than as a dichotomy.

description: Earth's magnetosphere, beyond protecting the ozone layer, is a natural phenomena which allows to study the interaction between charged particles from solar activity and electromagnetic fields. In this paper we studied trajectories of charged particles interacting with a constant dipole magnetic field as first approach of the Earth's magnetosphere using different initial conditions. As a result of this interaction there is a formation of well defined radiation regions by a confinement of charged particles around the lines of the magnetic field. These regions, called Van Allen radiation belts, are described by classical electrodynamics and appear naturally in the numerical modeling done in this work.

description: Purpose: Although many valid, reliable, and developmentally sensitive measures exist to monitor the language gains of children who rely on spoken language to communicate, the same is not true for graphic symbol communicators. This study is a first step in developing such measures by examining the interobserver agreement (IOA) and within-observer agreement of 13 measures designed to monitor the language progress of children who use aided augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). These measures are based on the Graphic Symbol Utterance and Sentence Development Framework (Binger et al., 2020) and are hypothesized to capture various phases of graphic symbol communication. Method: Four graduate student observers coded 13 measures across 57 different play-based sessions of children with Down syndrome ages 3;0–5;11 (years;months). For IOA, sessions were coded by two different observers. For within-observer agreement, all sessions were recoded by the same coders. Corpus-level analyses were completed to characterize the nature of the samples (e.g., average mean length of utterance for the samples). IOA and within-observer agreement were examined for each utterance. Results: Across all observers and measures, acceptable levels of IOA and within-observer agreement were achieved, with most measures yielding relatively high levels of agreement. Some differences were noted across measures, with the less experienced coders demonstrating less agreement on select measures. Conclusions: Results provide initial evidence that many measures based on the Graphic Symbol Utterance and Sentence Development Framework can be reliably coded. These findings are a first step in developing psychometrically sound measures to monitor the expressive language progress of children who use AAC.

description: Anti-Money Laundering (AML) is a crucial task in ensuring the integrity of financial systems. One keychallenge in AML is identifying high-risk groups based on their behavior. Unsupervised learning, particularly clustering, is a promising solution for this task. However, the use of hundreds of features todescribe behavior results in a highdimensional dataset that negatively impacts clustering performance.In this paper, we investigate the effectiveness of combining clustering method agglomerative hierarchicalclustering with four dimensionality reduction techniques -Independent Component Analysis (ICA), andKernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA), Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), Locality Preserving Projections (LPP)- to overcome the issue of high-dimensionality in AML data and improve clusteringresults. This study aims to provide insights into the most effective way of reducing the dimensionality ofAML data and enhance the accuracy of clustering-based AML systems. The experimental results demonstrate that KPCA outperforms other dimension reduction techniques when combined with agglomerativehierarchical clustering. This superiority is observed in the majority of situations, as confirmed by threedistinct validation indices.

description: Net blotch, caused by Pyrenophora teres, is an economically important disease of barley. The pathogen has two morphologically similar but genetically distinct forms: P. teres f. teres (Ptt) and P. teres f. maculata (Ptm), which cause net form net blotch (NFNB) and spot form net blotch (SFNB), respectively. The virulence of a collection of 39 Ptt and 27 Ptm isolates collected from western Canada was evaluated by inoculating these isolates onto sets of barley differential hosts. One week following inoculation, the second and third leaves of each plant were rated for disease severity on scales of 1–10 (for Ptt) or 1–9 (for Ptm). Plants rated <5 and ≥5 were scored as resistant and susceptible to Ptt, respectively, while plants rated 1–3 and >3 were scored as resistant and susceptible to Ptm. The experiment was repeated. Cluster analysis revealed 16 and 13 distinct pathotype groups, respectively, among the 39 and 27 representative Ptt and Ptm isolates. The barley differentials CI 5791 and CI 9820 were resistant to all isolates of Ptt except one, whilst the differential CI 9214 was resistant to all isolates of Ptm except two. Therefore, the differential lines CI 5791 and CI 9820, for Ptt, and CI 9214, for Ptm, can still be considered as potentially useful sources of resistance for Canadian barley breeding programmes.

 Abstract Faricimab (faricimab-svoa; Vabysmo™) is a bispecific antibody that binds to and inhibits both vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A and angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2). Administered by intravitreal injection, faricimab is being developed by Roche/Genentech for use in the treatment of retinal vascular diseases. In January 2022 faricimab received its first approvals, in the USA, for use in the treatment of patients with neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) or diabetic macular edema (DME). Faricimab is also currently under regulatory review in the EU and Japan for use in nAMD and DME. Phase III clinical development of faricimab for use in the treatment of nAMD, DME, and macular edema due to retinal vein occlusion is continuing in multiple other countries worldwide. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of faricimab leading to these first approvals for nAMD and DME in the USA.

description: Quantum approaches to consciousness seem to explain several but not all observations in the field of mind-brain interaction. Information is introduced as a key to a wider world view since we have – according to Thomas Nagel – to transcend the built-in limits of contemporary scientific orthodoxy before we may understand mind. In the macroscopic world information is limited in contrast to the capability of our mind to work with unlimited information in mathematics. The world of mathematical concepts with unlimited information is independent of time and space and the mind is an intermediary between the macroscopic and the mathematical world. In the macroscopic world time is unidirectional while for the mind as well as in quantum physics time is bidirectional. In a given experimental system a photon carries 1 bit of information. Using a double slit gedankenexperiment it is shown that the transmission of the information from the photon to the detector takes the time span delta t = λ/c and Planck’s formula for the energy of the photon can be interpreted as Planck’s constant h multiplied by the elementary information flux (1bit) c/λ. The time span was determined by an observer in the macroscopic world. For the photon, however, time does not flow and space is shrunk to zero. For the discussion of time in quantum physical measurements these two viewpoints have to be distinguished. We may describe the photon as the elementary information unit in a world independent of time and space. The world of the photon is evidence for the existence of the world of mathematical concepts which is independent of time and space. When the information is transmitted from the world of the photon to the world of the detector it is absorbed and the loss of 1 bit information causes an increase of energy in the system. For complex information the hypothesis of an extended energy conservation law is formulated. An experimental test of the hypothetical equivalence of energy and information flux is necessary as a next step on the way which could lead to a better understanding of consciousness as well as to a quantitative theory of information.

description: There is an ethical imperative to conduct research during public health emergencies, as some research questions can be adequately investigated only in emergency contexts. Since the 2003 outbreak of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), the 2009-2010 H1N1 influenza pandemic, and the 2014-2016 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, authoritative guidance has been produced on how to conduct ethical research during emergencies. To ensure ethical research during the COVID-19 outbreak, we summarize the key universal ethical standards. They should be adhered to by researchers, review bodies, funders, publishers, and manufacturers during an emergency

description: This IFIT Discussion Paper is authored in principal by Dr. Vanda Felbab-Brown.

 

This discussion paper is part of a larger project developed by IFIT’s Law and Peace Practice Group on whether and how to negotiate amnesty and accountability questions with unconventional armed actors, including violent organised crime groups such as mafia, gang networks and drug cartels.

The paper draws from original IFIT first-person interviews with negotiators, with a focus on choices made in diverse cases from Latin America and the Caribbean. Among the paper’s findings are that negotiations with organised crime groups 1) tend toward pragmatic and limited goals, not abstract and transformational ones; 2) replicate most process design choices, internal dynamics and policy dilemmas associated with more classical peace talks involving politically-motivated militant groups; 3) arise more often out of necessity and lack of deterrence capacity than political or moral preference; and 4) tend to operate secretly and informally in light of expected public opprobrium.

description: There is continuous debate on the role of digital media tools in art and design Higher Education, and in particular their potential contribution towards teaching and learning. The related literature indicates that there is a dichotomy between digital and traditional tools. This study investigates the views of a cohort of art and design students who undertook a specific instructional task, but instead of using paper and pencil, they used iPads. It is claimed that this computer tablet has considerable potential to enhance teaching
and learning, and this study sought to investigate this claim. Inductive qualitative content analysis was used to analyse the interviews provided by 32 (n532) students. Based on the
categories that emerged from the analysis of interviews, and within the parameters of this study, the main inference is that the relationship between digital and traditional tools can
be better understood as complementary rather than as a dichotomy.
