SDGs
Bibliometric analysis

description: The United Nations (UN) sustainable development goals (SDGs), adopted in September 2015, are a global socioeconomic agenda that calls for collective action to achieve peace, prosperity, and well-being by 2030. The 17 goals and 169 targets of the SDGs were developed to succeed the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which ended in 2015 UNESCO (2021) At least 10 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) comprising the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development require constant scientific research. Scientific research knowledge has to share with respective research stakeholders. Open-access repositories facilitate access to scientific research (Sweileh,2020). Based on this fact, this study would like to examine the contribution of Botswana universities' repositories in promoting SDGs research practices to the scientific community and citizen scientists. The study will apply a descriptive bibliometric analysis by reviewing research publications on SDG from 2015 to 2022 from three Botswana universities' institutional repository collections. The bibliometric analysis will be conducted in three steps. The information will be searched and retrieved from three universities' institutional repositories ( University of Botswana, Botho University and Botswana International University of Science and Technology. The data will be retrieved by searching ("SUSTAIN ABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL*" or "SDG*") in the field "TITLE" or Abstract.

description: Background
 Large language models (LLMs), which produce natural language responses to inputted prompts, can transform medical education by providing answers to difficult clinical questions, feedback on student responses, and aid in generating educational resources. Though their performance on simple fact-based medical questions is being explored, their ability to integrate complex pieces of information, such as medical history, physical exam findings, and investigation results, to arrive at well-reasoned clinical decisions has not been elucidated. In this study, we investigate the ability of the LLM ChatGPT to answer scenario-based questions designed to approximate real clinical decisions required of medical learners to ascertain its utility as an adjunct for learning this type of decision-making.

 Summary Of Work
 To assess the performance of ChatGPT on clinical scenario-based questions, a subset of 43 physician-generated, multiple-choice hematology questions routinely used by undergraduate medical students for self-study purposes were selected. The January 30th, 2023, version of ChatGPT was primed with a standardized phrase, and each question was inputted twice, with the answers and justifications being recorded. The model's performance was assessed by the number of correct responses and a qualitative review of the provided justifications.

 Summary Of Results
 The model's performance was robust, with 75.4% of clinical decision-making questions being answered correctly and featured substantial intra-question agreement (Cohen’s kappa of 0.62, and absolute agreement of 85%). The model struggled with questions requiring the interpretation of multiple numerical laboratory values and seemed to over-order investigations. Among correct answers, the justification provided by ChatGPT was significantly longer than that provided by the physician authors (p<0.0001) and largely used relevant scenario-specific details in its clinical reasoning process.

 Discussion And Conclusion
 The use of ChatGPT may enable students to effectively practice clinical decision-making by providing relevant, context-rich feedback in real-time without the need for resource and time-intensive processes involving senior medical practitioners. Further study is required to assess if using LLMs as support for learning clinical decision-making improves outcomes among undergraduate medical learners.

 Take Home Messages
 ChatGPT demonstrates robust performance on scenario-based clinical questions requiring integration of a variety of medical information and can provide scenario-relevant clinical justification, enabling their use as adjuncts for developing clinical decision-making skills among undergraduate medical learners.
Mapping current fluctuations of stochastic pumps to nonequilibrium steady states
Creators: name: Rotskoff, Grant M.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show that current fluctuations in a stochastic pump can be robustly mapped to fluctuations in a corresponding time-independent nonequilibrium steady state. We thus refine a recently proposed mapping so that it ensures equivalence of not only the averages, but also optimal representation of fluctuations in currents and density. Our mapping leads to a natural decomposition of the entropy production in stochastic pumps similar to the "housekeeping" heat. As a consequence of the decomposition of entropy production, the current fluctuations in weakly perturbed stochastic pumps are shown to satisfy a universal bound determined by the steady state entropy production.

Is it mandatory? Influences on experiences of VR simulation among FY2 in two NHS hospitals
Creators: name: Derrer, Katerina Denediou
Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2023

description: The research question was: “What factors influence the experience of sessions of Virtual Reality simulation as reported by FY2 in two Hospital Trusts.” Foundation year 1 doctors are on their first year of practice after medical school and are provisionally registered with the General Medical Council. Foundation year 2 doctors have completed this pre-registration year.

 Using as starting point the cognitive load theory, which proposes that for new learning to occur, the learning activity’s intrinsic load must be matched to the learner’s prior experience and extraneous load must be minimized, this study evaluated the barriers and facilitators for FY2 using and benefiting from Virtual Reality simulation (VRsim).

 A qualitative, exploratory, semi-structured focus group design with iterative thematic analysis was used. Data coding and analysis were inductive. Two focus groups occurred in autumn 2022 and were audio recorded. Of approximately 40 FY2 in each Hospital (80 in total), 10 participated. Ethical approval was obtained from the research and development departments of two NHS trusts and from a university Ethics committee. A participant information sheet was distributed by gatekeepers; written informed consent was obtained prior to the focus groups and participants were pseudonymized.

 Thematic analysis of each of the transcripts, found following themes: Learning achieved Factors relating to the product Factors relating to the delivery, facilitator and debrief Factors relating to the culture or practices of the organisation This study found that extraneous factors hindered learning experience significantly. In Hospital 1, the limiting extraneous factors related to factors related to the delivery and structure of the VRsim sessions; in Hospital 2, the limiting extraneous factors related to organizational factors regarding obtaining study leave and booking the VRsim sessions.

 VRsim was an appropriate, acceptable, accessible and safe means to teach the management of clinical emergencies to FY doctors. Learning was affected more by extraneous barriers to learning such as difficulties organizing study leave and variations relating to the delivery, facilitator and debrief, than by factors relating to the product, whose benefits in practicing steps for a clinical emergency, even though limited by lack of realism, was immediate.

Water Supply Assessment for the North Saskatchewan River Basin
Creators: North Saskatchewan Watershed Alliance (NSWA)
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2008

The North Saskatchewan River Basin (NSRB) exhibits significant spatial variability in temperature and precipitation, both within any given year and from year to year. In the mountains and higher foothills, precipitation tends to be relatively high and evapotranspiration low, resulting in high water yield. In contrast, in the eastern portion of the NSRB, average annual precipitation tends to be less than average annual evapotranspiration, which leads to large moisture-deficit areas, either at certain times of the year or regionally during multi-year droughts. Given the geographic variability in precipitation, evaporation, and other climatic variables, it is critical for an assessment of water yield to consider explicitly the spatial variability of the factors contributing to water yield.

description: We investigate spin dynamics in the antiferromagnetic (AFM) multiferroic TbMnO3 using optical- pump, terahertz (THz)-probe spectroscopy. Photoexcitation results in a broadband THz transmission change, with an onset time of 25 ps at 6 K that becomes faster at higher temperatures. We attribute this time constant to spin-lattice thermalization. The excellent agreement between our measurements and previous ultrafast resonant x-ray diffraction measurements on the same material confirms that our THz pulse directly probes spin order. We suggest that this could be the case in general for insulating AFM materials, if the origin of the static absorption in the THz spectral range is magnetic.

Interactively accessing terabyte-scale data has previously required significant server resources to properly prepare cropped or down-sampled representations on the fly. Now, a cloud-native chunked format easing this burden has been adopted in the bioimaging domain for standardization. The format — Zarr — is potentially of interest for other consortia and sections of NFDI. Full text is available in the proceedings at https://www.tib-op.org/ojs/index.php/CoRDI/article/view/285

In particular we calculate the binding force, pulse durations and equilibrium separations using a variational approach. Predicted pulse shapes are in good agreement with those found by numerical simulations of the underlying nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Within limitations soliton molecules with up to seven solitons possibly allow to encode three bits of data per clock period.

description: The X-ray Imaging of Microstructures Gateway (XIMG) has been developed for the structural materials community at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS). High energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction and imaging techniques continue to push the limits of what can be captured spatially and temporally in evolving microstructures, leading to massive datasets (>TBs) and complex data reduction and analysis workflows. Most first-time users are not prepared for the magnitude of scientific computing expertise required to complete data reduction and analysis in this field. By adopting the Galaxy-based Science Gateway framework, this barrier can be reduced so scientists can focus on what the software is doing, rather than how it is doing it. We will demonstrate our effort on transitioning existing data reduction and analysis workflows to process synchrotron data into the Galaxy framework. This work is part of a restructuring of current software from dedicated scripts, often highly customized to a specific experiment or beam line, to one that is composed of individual, loosely coupled, components that can be reused and combined into data reduction pipelines. In addition to lowering barriers, this pipeline concept facilitates tracking data reduction provenance and metadata to allow sharing of datasets among the community.

A Scalable Algorithm for Tracking an Unknown Number of Targets Using Multiple Sensors

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016

description: We propose a method for tracking an unknown number of targets based on measurements provided by multiple sensors. Our method achieves low computational complexity and excellent scalability by running belief propagation on a suitably devised factor graph. A redundant formulation of data association uncertainty and the use of "augmented target states" including binary target indicators make it possible to exploit statistical independencies for a drastic reduction of complexity. An increase in the number of targets, sensors, or measurements leads to additional variable nodes in the factor graph but not to higher dimensions of the messages. As a consequence, the complexity of our method scales only quadratically in the number of targets, linearly in the number of sensors, and linearly in the number of measurements per sensors. The performance of the method compares well with that of previously proposed methods, including methods with a less favorable scaling behavior. In particular, our method can outperform multisensor versions of the probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter, the cardinalized PHD filter, and the multi-Bernoulli filter.

description: Interdisciplinary collaboration and integration of large and diverse datasets are becoming increasingly important. Answering complex research questions requires combining and analysing multimodal datasets. Research data management follows the FAIR principles making data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. However, there are challenges in capturing the entire research cycle and contextualizing data according, not only for the DataPLANT and NFDI4BIOIMAGE communities. To address these challenges, DataPLANT developed a data structure called Annotated Research Context (ARC). The Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) originated from the neuroimaging community extended for microscopic image data. Both concepts provide standardised and file system based data storage structures for organising and sharing research data accompanied with metadata. We exemplarily compare the ARC and BIDS designs and propose structural and metadata mapping.

Investigating the High-Temperature (100 °C - 200 °C) Dissolution and Sulfidation of As₂O₃ Stored at the Giant Mine, NWT, Canada

description: The Giant Mine near Yellowknife, NWT generated 237 000 tonnes of arsenic-trioxide (As₂O₃)-rich dust as a by-product of gold mining during its years of operation (1948 - 2004). Arsenic trioxide is a relatively soluble form of arsenic (As) and is currently stored in the mine, posing a threat of contamination to the adjacent Great Slave Lake. This research investigates the potential for permanent remediation of the As₂O₃ using sulfidation to transform it to arsenic trisulfide (As₂S₃). Knowing that aqueous As₂O₃ readily reacts with sulfide (Ostermeyer, 2021), it was determined that the most practical and effective method to achieve sulfidation of the Giant Mine dust is to first dissolve the As₂O₃ and then conduct the reaction with sulfide. The optimal conditions at which to dissolve As₂O₃ were investigated. The solubility and dissolution rate in water were shown to increase with temperature, with solubility increasing from 185.7 g As₂O₃/kg water at 140 °C to 250.6 g As₂O₃/kg water at 180 °C. Qualitative demonstrations of the rate of dissolution show that ≥ 90 % of the As₂O₃ dissolved within 5 minutes at 140 °C, and 4 minutes at 180 °C; previous research indicates that time to equilibrium is > 24 hours at 60 °C (CANMET, 2000). Reaction of Giant-Mine material in water at elevated temperatures (140 °C - 200 °C) for 10 to 30 minutes consistently resulted in dissolution of approximately 80 wt. % of the initial solid-phase As concentrations, representing almost all the As₂O₃, yielding undissolved residues (≈ 40 wt. % of initial mass). The persistence of As in these residues is likely due to it being hosted in As₂O₃ - Sb₂O₃ solid solutions and low-solubility Fe-oxide phases in the initial sample (CANMET, 2000; Poirier, 2004).

syllable structure

description: Lelepa is an Oceanic language spoken in central Vanuatu. It has been classified as exhibiting a complex syllable structure, unlike many other Oceanic languages which follow a prevalent CV syllable structure. The Lelepa syllable allows tautosyllabic consonant clusters in both onset and coda positions, with up to three consonants in complex onsets and a maximum of two consonants in complex codas. Such a syllable schema is typologically less common in the Oceanic language family and presents analytical challenges. However, the frequency of different syllable structures in Lelepa remains uncertain, and there appear to be some restrictions on the possible tautosyllabic consonant combinations. This thesis draws on a corpus of natural speech data to investigate the possible tautosyllabic consonant combinations and the frequencies of different syllable structures. The findings reveal that while complex syllables do occur in Lelepa, the most common syllable structure is CV. Some consonant clusters are more preferred than others, for example, heterorganic consonants are more common than homorganic consonants in two-consonant clusters, and onset consonant clusters often violate sonority sequencing principles. These findings extend the understanding of Lelepa syllable structures and contribute to wider understanding of phonotactic typology.
Incentivizing Energy Trading for Interconnected Microgrids

description: In this paper, we study the interactions among interconnected autonomous microgrids, and propose a joint energy trading and scheduling strategy. Each interconnected microgrid not only schedules its local power supply and demand, but also trades energy with other microgrids in a distribution network. Specifically, microgrids with excessive renewable generations can trade with other microgrids in deficit of power supplies for mutual benefits. Since interconnected microgrids operate autonomously, they aim to optimize their own performance and expect to gain benefits through energy trading. We design an incentive mechanism using Nash bargaining theory to encourage proactive energy trading and fair benefit sharing. We solve the bargaining problem by decomposing it into two sequential problems on social cost minimization and trading benefit sharing, respectively. For practical implementation, we propose a decentralized solution method with minimum information exchange overhead. Numerical studies based on realistic data demonstrate that the total cost of the interconnected-microgrids operation can be reduced by up to 13.2% through energy trading, and an individual participating microgrid can achieve up to 29.4% reduction in its cost through energy trading.

description: Metric spaces provide a framework for analysis and have several very useful properties. Many of these properties follow in part from the triangle inequality. However, there are several applications in which the triangle inequality does not hold but in which we may still like to perform analysis. This paper investigates what happens if the triangle inequality is removed all together, leaving what is called a distance space, and also what happens if the triangle inequality is replaced with a much more general two parameter relation, which is herein called the "power triangle inequality". The power triangle inequality represents an uncountably large class of inequalities, and includes the triangle inequality, relaxed triangle inequality, and inframetric inequality as special cases. The power triangle inequality is defined in terms of a function that is herein called the "power triangle function". The power triangle function is itself a power mean, and as such is continuous and monotone with respect to its exponential parameter, and also includes the operations of maximum, minimum, mean square, arithmetic mean, geometric mean, and harmonic mean as special cases.

description: Il tema degli icebreakers non è stato molto indagato nelle scienze dell’educazione. Nella ricerca eseguita da Chlup e Collins (2010) solo tre articoli trattavano l’argomento nei cinque anni precedenti: una rivista, una lista di icebreakers da non utilizzare e un articolo di una pagina. In conseguenza a questo gap e al workshop “Icebreakers for Team Building”, parte della Convegno Educazione Terra Natura 2018, questo contributo si concentra su un’analisi della letteratura sugli icebreakers. Attraverso i database dell’Università e Google Scholar, si è effettuata una ricerca bibliografica di pubblicazioni internazionali utilizzando le chiavi “icebreaker” (oppure “ice breaker”, o “breaking the ice”) e “education”. Quest’ultima parola chiave ha fatto sì che la ricerca escludesse articoli sugli icebreakers intesi come navi rompighiaccio. La ricerca ha individuato il full text di quattordici articoli, tre conference proceeding e un libro pubblicati tra il 2001 e il 2017. Questi full-text contenevano il termine chiave della ricerca nel titolo o nel corpo del testo, ed erano inerenti al tema trattato.Il contributo inizia confrontando le definizioni di icebreakers operate dagli articoli passati in rassegna. Si mostrano le funzioni che gli autori attribuiscono agli icebrerakers, e si continua illustrando il loro utilizzo in un contesto di educazione alle competenze chiave europee per l’apprendimento permanente, per qualificare competenze quali quelle digitali, la consapevolezza culturale e l’imparare a imparare. In linea con il Learning Framework 2030 dell’OECD (2018), il contributo termina mostrando come gli icebreakers si pongano in una prospettiva di apprendimento permanente per educare a una co-agency per partecipare nel mondo
Determining the Satisfaction Level of University Students with Administrative Units: A Scale Proposal
Creators: name: Baltaci, Alisan

Subjects: Service marketing

description: Universities provide administrative services as well as academic services. Therefore, all stakeholders, especially students, make an integrated evaluation of all the services offered. Because when a university tries to provide a service deprived of cultural activities, has an insufficient IT infrastructure, or lacks library facilities, some problems will come along. For this reason, measuring consumer perception of the services produced by administrative units is also critical. For this purpose, a measurement tool consisting of 35 questions and three dimensions, with high reliability and construct validity, was developed within the scope of the consumer behavior and services marketing perspective in the research. Keywords: University, Administrative Unit, Satisfaction, Scale, Consumer Behavior, Services Marketing

description: Isoperimetric problems consist in minimizing or maximizing a cost functional subject to an integral constraint. In this work, we present two fractional isoperimetric problems where the Lagrangian depends on a combined Caputo derivative of variable fractional order and we present a new variational problem subject to a holonomic constraint. We establish necessary optimality conditions in order to determine the minimizers of the fractional problems. The terminal point in the cost integral, as well the terminal state, are considered to be free, and we obtain corresponding natural boundary conditions.

Classification of $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ relations in the Witt group of nondegenerate braided fusion categories

description: The Witt group of nondegenerate braided fusion categories $\mathcal{W}$ contains a subgroup $\mathcal{W}_\text{un}$ consisting of Witt equivalence classes of pseudo-unitary nondegenerate braided fusion categories. For each finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and positive integer $k$ there exists a pseudo-unitary category $\mathcal{C}(\mathfrak{g},k)$ consisting of highest weight integerable $\hat{g}$-modules of level $k$ where $\hat{\mathfrak{g}}$ is the corresponding affine Lie algebra. Relations between the classes $[\mathcal{C}(\mathfrak{sl}_2,k)]$, $k\geq1$ have been completely described in the work of Davydov, Nikshych, and Ostrik. Here we give a complete classification of relations between the classes $[\mathcal{C}(\mathfrak{sl}_3,k)]$, $k\geq1$ with a view toward extending these methods to arbitrary simple finite dimensional Lie algebras $\mathfrak{g}$ and positive integer levels $k$.
The Problem of Analogical Inference in Inductive Logic

Subjects: subject: Logic in Computer Science (cs.LO)

description: We consider one problem that was largely left open by Rudolf Carnap in his work on inductive logic, the problem of analogical inference. After discussing some previous attempts to solve this problem, we propose a new solution that is based on the ideas of Bruno de Finetti on probabilistic symmetries. We explain how our new inductive logic can be developed within the Carnapian paradigm of inductive logic-deriving an inductive rule from a set of simple postulates about the observational process-and discuss some of its properties.

description: This paper is devoted to the construction of what we will call {\em exactly solvable models}, i.e. of quantum mechanical systems described by an Hamiltonian $H$ whose eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be explicitly constructed out of some {\em minimal ingredients}. In particular, motivated by PT-quantum mechanics, we will not insist on any self-adjointness feature of the Hamiltonians considered in our construction. We also introduce the so-called bicoherent states, we analyze some of their properties and we show how they can be used for quantizing a system. Some examples, both in finite and in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, are discussed.

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Group Theory (math.GR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Generalizing the idea of self-similar groups defined by Mealy automata, we itroduce the notion of a self-similar automaton and a self-similar group over a changing alphabet. We show that every finitely generated residually-finite group is self-similar over an arbitrary unbounded changing alphabet. We construct some naturally defined self-similar automaton representations over an unbounded changing alphabet for any lamplighter group $K\wr \mathbb{Z}$ with an arbitrary finitely generated (finite or infinite) abelian group $K$.

description: Extensive work has been conducted both in game theory and logic to model strategic interaction. An important question is whether we can use these theories to design agents for interacting with people? On the one hand, they provide a formal design specification for agent strategies. On the other hand, people do not necessarily adhere to playing in accordance with these strategies, and their behavior is affected by a multitude of social and psychological factors. In this paper we will consider the question of whether strategies implied by theories of strategic behavior can be used by automated agents that interact proficiently with people. We will focus on automated agents that we built that need to interact with people in two negotiation settings: bargaining and deliberation. For bargaining we will study game-theory based equilibrium agents and for argumentation we will discuss logic-based argumentation theory. We will also consider security games and persuasion games and will discuss the benefits of using equilibrium based agents.

description: While halogenation of graphene presents a fascinating avenue to the construction of a chemically and physically diverse class of systems, their application in photovoltaics has been hindered by often prohibitively large optical gaps. Herein we study the effects of partial bromination and chlorination on the structure and optoelectronic properties of both graphane and fluorographene. We find brominated and chlorinated fluorographene derivatives to be as stable as graphane making them likely to be durable even at elevated temperatures. A detailed investigation of the systems band structure reveals significant 1D localization of the charge carriers as well as strongly electron-hole asymmetric effective masses. Lastly using $G_0W_0$ and BSE, we investigate the optical adsorption spectra of the aforementioned materials whose first adsorption peak is shown to lie close to the optimal peak position for photovoltaic applications ($\approx 1.5$ eV).

description: Distributed knowledge is the sum of the knowledge in a group; what someone who is able to discern between two possible worlds whenever any member of the group can discern between them, would know. Sometimes distributed knowledge is referred to as the potential knowledge of a group, or the joint knowledge they could obtain if they had unlimited means of communication. In epistemic logic, the formula D_Gϕ is intended to express the fact that group G has distributed knowledge of ϕ, that there is enough information in the group to infer ϕ. But this is not the same as reasoning about what happens if the members of the group share their information. In this paper we introduce an operator R_G, such that R_Gϕ means that ϕ is true after G have shared all their information with each other - after G's distributed knowledge has been resolved. The R_G operators are called resolution operators. Semantically, we say that an expression R_Gϕ is true iff ϕ is true in what van Benthem [11, p. 249] calls (G's) communication core; the model update obtained by removing links to states for members of G that are not linked by all members of G. We study logics with different combinations of resolution operators and operators for common and distributed knowledge. Of particular interest is the relationship between distributed and common knowledge. The main results are sound and complete axiomatizations.
