The Role of Bioinformatics in Facilitating Translational Science and Medicine
Creators: name: Douglas, Conor M.W.
Publisher: name: Tecnoscienza – Italian Journal of Science & Technology Studies
Year: 2014

description: Significant challenges exist around the translation of the enormous amounts of data generated from large-scale gene and genome sequencing that has been facilitated by the Human Genome Project into tangible medical. Widespread acceptance exists within the biomedical research community about the role that bioinformatics will play in that translational process. While the goal of moving research from “the bench” into socially beneficially applications “at the patient’s bedside” has long driven science and technology policy, the picture is now more likely to resemble interactions between very powerful computers, and lab benches. Given the importance of bioinformatics, work presented here reports on a case study of a large Canadian scientific network that has developed a bioinformatics tool designed to facilitate investigations into gene-gene and gene-protein interactions and pathogenomics pathways. By focusing on this kind of bioinformatics system that facilitates a project’s own internal biomedical research and simultaneously serves as a free and open resource for a wider group of academic nonpeers, we advocated for a broadening of what translational science and medicine can and should entail. Furthermore, by highlighting the importance of movements between developers and a host of prospective users (and back again) we show how translational bioinformatics systems can be more effectively advanced.

The Controversial Molecular Turn in Prenatal Diagnosis. CGH-array Clinical Approaches and Biomedical Platforms
Creators: name: Turrini, Mauro
Publisher: name: Tecnoscienza – Italian Journal of Science & Technology Studies
Year: 2014

description: How and why are new gene-array techniques, which have been successfully introduced in medical contexts such as “post-natal” genetics, marked by uncertainty and dispute when they change context and are used in prenatal medicine? The so-called “molecular turn” in prenatal diagnosis has created a controversy that still divides the genetic community worldwide. The availability of an increased variety of high resolution-genetic data, including uncertain findings, divides the genetic community regarding production, treatment, and articulation with the older technologies, cytogenetics. Drawing on the methodological and conceptual framework of the “biomedical platform” (Keating and Cambrosio 2003), this paper intends to analyse these new biomedical molecular entities in the space where biology and medicine, science and technology, innovation and routine are intertwined. Empirical data from an ethnographic thick description of the intense debate that took place between Italian geneticists is used to analyze the different ways in which the material and immaterial elements of these platforms are organized. The different positions that emerge from the debate are traced back to two positions regarding the overlapping of biomedical work, technology transfer and research. This case study does not only reconstruct the fast-paced advancements of genetics in prenatal medicine, but also sheds light on the important questions at stake in structuring the expansive movement of molecular biomedicine.

description: We investigate dynamic properties of bouncing and penetration in colliding binary and ternary Bose-Einstein condensates comprised of different Zeeman or hyperfine states of 87Rb. Through the application of magnetic field gradient pulses, two- or three-component condensates in an optical trap are spatially separated and then made to collide. The subsequent evolutions are classified into two categories: repeated bouncing motion and mutual penetration after damped bounces. We experimentally observed mutual penetration for immiscible condensates, bouncing between miscible condensates, and domain formation for miscible condensates. From numerical simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, we find that the penetration time can be tuned by slightly changing the atomic interaction strengths.

What’s Being Translated in Translational Research? Making and Making Sense of Data between the Laboratory and the Clinic
Creators: name: Levin, Nadine
Publisher: name: Tecnoscienza – Italian Journal of Science & Technology Studies
Year: 2014

description: This paper examines translational or “bench to bedside” research – which is promoted as the application of biomedical knowledge to medical practice – at the interface between the laboratory and the clinic. Referring to the field of “metabolomics”, the post-genomic study of metabolism, it argues that efforts to make and make sense of data emerge as one of the key challenges in translational research. Focusing on case studies of translational molecular imaging, clinical databases, and surgery, I explore how metabolomics researchers and clinicians have fundamentally different notions of what data entail. I then argue that metabolomics researchers experience great difficulty not in generating but in interpreting statistical and metabolic data. Finally, I examine the future visions of translational metabolomics research to suggest that data and automation cannot replace judgment and interpretation in clinical practice. Ultimately, the paper problematizes the changing form, role, and value of “data” in post-genomic efforts to carry out translational research.

description: Adatom-decorated graphene offers a promising new path towards spintronics in the ultrathin limit. We combine experiment and theory to investigate the electronic properties of dilutely fluorinated bilayer graphene, where the fluorine adatoms covalently bond to the top graphene layer. We show that fluorine adatoms give rise to resonant impurity states near the charge neutrality point of the bilayer, leading to strong scattering of charge carriers and hopping conduction inside a field-induced band gap. Remarkably, the application of an electric field across the layers is shown to tune the resonant scattering amplitude from fluorine adatoms by nearly twofold. The experimental observations are well explained by a theoretical analysis combining Boltzmann transport equations and fully quantum-mechanical methods. This paradigm can be generalized to many bilayer graphene-adatom materials, and we envision that the realization of electrically tunable resonance may be a key advantage in graphene-based spintronic devices.

The Bio-Objectification of Umbilical Cord Blood: Socio-Economic and Epistemic Implications of Biobanking
Creators: name: Beltrame, Lorenzo
Publisher: name: Tecnoscienza – Italian Journal of Science & Technology Studies
Year: 2014

description: In the current biomedical literature Umbilical Cord Blood (UCB) is considered a valid source of hematopoietic stem cells for hemopoiesis reconstitution. The acknowledgment of the potential of UCB for transplants prompted the transformation of this human tissue from a discarded human residuum to a valuable life-saving tissue. Drawing on the notion of bio-objectification (Webster 2012), this paper critically investigates the socio-technical process by which this transformation occurred, and explores the two-way interaction between basic biological research and clinical settings in which the therapeutic use of UCB was developed. Secondly, drawing on the notion of biobanks as forms of governing life, this paper analyzes how different institutional arrangements in UCB biobanking produce different routes in UCB bio-objectifications and different economic regimes of UCB exploitation. UCB biobanking thus entails diverging articulations of the relationship between biomedicine and society, and the co-construction of medical technologies, therapeutic applications, subjectivities and social rationalities.

Nanomedicine in the Making. Expectations, Scientific Narrations and Materiality
Creators: name: Crabu, Stefano
Publisher: name: Tecnoscienza – Italian Journal of Science & Technology Studies
Year: 2014

description: Starting from the theoretical debate about technoscientific expectations, and based on the data collected doing ethnographic research in a laboratory of nanomedicine (in Northern Italy) operating in the field of experimental and clinical pharmacology, the paper explores in detail the relationship between anticipatory knowledge, scientific forward-looking statements and the situated practices of biomedical research in nanomedicine. In particular, I will focus on the processual dimension of scientific narrations on nanomedicine, in order to understand how future-oriented abstractions may represent a fundamental element for the local practices of nanomedical research. In doing so, and referring in particular to a socio-technical artefact called “triangle Dna origami”, I develop the notion of promissory bio-object, as a conceptual device to improve the understanding of the engagement of anticipatory knowledge in biomedical research.

description: In its early implementations, background modeling was a process of building a model for the background of a video with a stationary camera, and identifying pixels that did not conform well to this model. The pixels that were not well-described by the background model were assumed to be moving objects. Many systems today maintain models for the foreground as well as the background, and these models compete to explain the pixels in a video. In this paper, we argue that the logical endpoint of this evolution is to simply use Bayes' rule to classify pixels. In particular, it is essential to have a background likelihood, a foreground likelihood, and a prior at each pixel. A simple application of Bayes' rule then gives a posterior probability over the label. The only remaining question is the quality of the component models: the background likelihood, the foreground likelihood, and the prior. We describe a model for the likelihoods that is built by using not only the past observations at a given pixel location, but by also including observations in a spatial neighborhood around the location. This enables us to model the influence between neighboring pixels and is an improvement over earlier pixelwise models that do not allow for such influence. Although similar in spirit to the joint domain-range model, we show that our model overcomes certain deficiencies in that model. We use a spatially dependent prior for the background and foreground. The background and foreground labels from the previous frame, after spatial smoothing to account for movement of objects,are used to build the prior for the current frame.

Optimal quantitative estimates in stochastic homogenization for elliptic equations in nondivergence form

description: We prove quantitative estimates for the stochastic homogenization of linear uniformly elliptic equations in nondivergence form. Under strong independence assumptions on the coefficients, we obtain optimal estimates on the subquadratic growth of the correctors with stretched exponential-type bounds in probability. Like the theory of Gloria and Otto \cite{GO1,GO2} for divergence form equations, the arguments rely on nonlinear concentration inequalities combined with certain estimates on the Green's functions and derivative bounds on the correctors. We obtain these analytic estimates by developing a $C^{1,1}$ regularity theory down to microscopic scale, which is of independent interest and is inspired by the $C^{0,1}$ theory introduced in the divergence form case by the first author and Smart \cite{AS2}.

description: We presently witness a profound transformation of the configuration of biomedical practices, as characterized by an increasingly collective dimension, and by a growing reliance on disruptive technologies that generate large amounts of data. We also witness a proliferation of biomedical databases, often freely accessible on the Web, which can be easily analyzed thanks to network analysis software. In this position paper we discuss how science and technology studies (S&TS) may cope with these developments. In particular, we examine a number of shortcomings of the notion of networks, namely those concerning: (a) the relation between agency and structural analysis; (b) the distinction between network clusters and collectives; (c) the (ac)counting strategies that fuel the networking approach; and (d) the privileged status ascribed to textual documents. This will lead us to reframe the question of the relations between S&TS and biomedical scientists, as big data offer an interesting opportunity for developing new modes of cooperation between the social and the life sciences, while avoiding the dichotomies – between the social and the cognitive, or between texts and practices – that S&TS has successfully managed to discard.

description: This presentation will showcase how the EMM Survey Registry (https://ethmigsurveydatahub.eu/emmregistry/)—a new online searchable database developed jointly by COST Action 16111 Ethmigsurveydata and the H2020 project SSHOC—promotes the reuse and sharing of metadata for quantitative surveys conducted across Europe focusing on the integration of EMMs. The presentation will begin by describing the metadata schema that was developed for the EMM Survey Registry. It will then illustrate how the metadata schema was not only conceptualised and designed to provide rich and meaningful information to users of existing quantitative survey data on EMMs' integration, but also to conform with DDI Codebook (a task undertaken by Alina Danciu of Sciences Po, CDSP and Alexandre Mairot, formerly with Sciences Po, CDSP) to allow the EMM Survey Registry to be interoperable with relevant data archives. The presentation will conclude by discussing strategies for fostering buy-in from the user communities to use and contribute to the EMM Survey Registry, which is essential to making the EMM Survey Registry a sustainable and state-of-the-art tool for reusing and sharing metadata of EMM surveys in Europe and beyond.

Making treaties matter: the interactive effects of BIT strength and domestic political constraints on FDI
Creators: name: Bauerle Danzman, Sarah
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: Under what conditions can governments use international commitments such as Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) to attract foreign direct investment (FDI)? Previous research on the effect of BITs on FDI flows have largely ignored the role of domestic political variables in conditioning the effect of international treaties and institutions. The ability of BITs to attract FDI should depend both upon the extent to which treaties help make contracts more complete through pre-consent to investor-state arbitration and the extent to which domestic political constraints reassure firms that governments will honor their international commitments. Using a time series cross sectional dataset of 118 developing countries from 1970 to 2000, I find statistical support for my hypotheses. Treaty strength and domestic political constraints have an interactive effect on FDI inflows to developing countries. BITs with no pre-consent to arbitration have no effect on FDI inflows regardless of domestic political constraints. BITs that do require pre-consent to arbitration, however, have an increasing and statistically significant positive effect on FDI inflows as domestic political constraints increase. These findings reiterate the importance of the interactive effect of international and domestic institutions. The ability of states to benefit from an open international economic system depends in part upon domestic politics. International treaties and institutions can help governments mitigate informational problems that impede growth, but their ability to do so depends upon the strength of domestic institutions to hold government to their commitments.
A Tale of Two Countries: An Assessment of the EU-US Trade Relationship in Agriculture

Year: 2007

description: Although it is recognized that agriculture is not the most financially lucrative sector of EU and US economies, it has tremendous importance politically for these nations. But, agriculture is by far one of the most important features of developing countries economies. The US and the EU are two of the most prominent members of the World Trade Organization, and the WTO often relies on them to lead the charge towards open trade. But the inability of the EU and the US to agree on policy in agriculture has made the Doha Round negotiations in agriculture very difficult. This paper aims to show that the EU-US trade relationship in agriculture is equally economic as well as political, and that the fate of these rounds of WTO negotiations and future legislative reform in the US and the EU rely heavily on the EU and US ability to cooperate with each other.

description: This retrospective study examined running economy (RE) as measured by oxygen uptake (VO2) for 7 highly trained male multi-sport athletes during a laboratory duathlon simulation (running + cycling). Methods: Trial 1 = speed-only single-bout run VO2max test; Trial 3 =10 km run + 30 km cycling at 95-98% of ventilatory threshold followed by a speed-only single-bout run VO2max test. RE was represented by VO2 obtained at 5, 7, and 10 mph during the VO2max tests during Trials 1 and 3. Results: A significant interaction effect (p = 0.047) occurred for Trial * Intensity (3 x 2 repeated measures ANOVA; Factor 1 = exercise intensities [speeds 5, 7, 10 mph]; Factor 2 = VO2max for Trials 1 and 3). Post hoc paired samples t-tests approached significance for 7 and 10 mph (p = 0.054; p = 0.064, respectively). Conclusion: RE is affected in a laboratory duathlon simulation during moderate intensity running.

description: Contemporary biomedicine is characterized by the ever-closer connection between clinical practice and research. Laboratories become nodes of articulated networks, making it no longer possible to consider them as single entities. In light of these changes, a wide range of actors – researchers, scientific instruments, data-bases, experts in bio-informatics and bio-statistics, pharmaceutical companies, clinicians, drugs, patients, cells, ethical and regulatory issues – are involved. In this Introduction, we address why these processes represent a relevant challenge for social sciences as well.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Among academic institutions data repositories are a trending addition to the ecosystem of open science, and more often than not, there is a push towards self hosting. Dataverse is one of the most popular software in such cases, as it offers out of the box much desirable features, focusing on explorability, interoperability and a promise for flexibility. From a software development point of view, the open model driven by community feedback is a great asset. Since 2018 at the Center for Socio-Political Data, we opted for migrating our DDI metadata bank from Nesstar to Dataverse. We were eager to customise Dataverse metadata schema to follow as closely as possible the Cessda Metadata Model main elements defined by our metadata experts (controlled vocabularies). We had to compose with a quite relaxed implementation of DDI 2.5 standard by Dataverse. We will share strategies, tools and workarounds we set up to approach our goal. We have also strived to make the most out of the tool, using templating mechanisms or enhancing the user interface. We will conclude with a selective list of features we want to promote in order to better align Dataverse with standards as DDI or OAI-PMH.

description: We present neutral hydrogen (HI) and warm molecular hydrogen (H2) observations of the young (10^2 years) radio galaxy PKS B1718-649. We study the morphology and the kinematics of both gas components, focusing, in particular, on their properties in relation to the triggering of the radio activity. The regular kinematics of the large scale HI disk, seen in emission, suggests that an interaction event occurred too long ago to be responsible for the recent triggering of the radio activity. In absorption, we detect two absorption lines along the narrow line of sight of the compact (r<2 pc) radio source. The lines trace two clouds with opposite radial motions. These may represent a population of clouds in the very inner regions of the galaxy, which may be involved in triggering the radio activity. The warm molecular hydrogen (H2 1-0 S(1) ro-vibrational line) in the innermost kilo-parsec of the galaxy appears to be distributed in a circum-nuclear disk following the regular kinematics of the HI and of the stellar component. An exception to this behaviour arises only in the very centre, where a highly dispersed component is detected. These particular HI and H2 features suggest that a strong interplay between the radio source and the surrounding ISM is on-going. The physical properties of the cold gas in the proximity of the radio source may regulate the accretion recently triggered in this AGN.

Changes of Aerobic Fitness and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Children over Two Years
Creators: name: Ahn, Bumsoo
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: This study examined the relationship between two-year changes of aerobic fitness and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in children. Baseline and follow-up data were obtained from 120 children, the CHIC III Study. Aerobic fitness was estimated using a multistage submaximal test on the cycle ergometer. Six CVD risk factors were measured, and combined by using standardized z-score, CVD composite score. As a result, there was a trend of increasing CVD composite scores over two years (p<0.001). Despite the general trend, changes in CVD composite score were inversely related with changes in aerobic fitness (r=-0.24; p=0.008). BMI was the greatest contributor to the CVD composite change score (partial R2=0.38; p<0.001). In conclusion, since aerobic fitness is significantly related with CVD composite score, and since moderate-to-vigorous physical activity can increase fitness while reducing fat mass, children should be encouraged to participate in moderate-to-vigorous physical activities.

description: We present a method to analyze images taken from a passive egocentric wearable camera along with the contextual information, such as time and day of week, to learn and predict everyday activities of an individual. We collected a dataset of 40,103 egocentric images over a 6 month period with 19 activity classes and demonstrate the benefit of state-of-the-art deep learning techniques for learning and predicting daily activities. Classification is conducted using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with a classification method we introduce called a late fusion ensemble. This late fusion ensemble incorporates relevant contextual information and increases our classification accuracy. Our technique achieves an overall accuracy of 83.07% in predicting a person's activity across the 19 activity classes. We also demonstrate some promising results from two additional users by fine-tuning the classifier with one day of training data.

description: Recent work on background subtraction has shown developments on two major fronts. In one, there has been increasing sophistication of probabilistic models, from mixtures of Gaussians at each pixel [7], to kernel density estimates at each pixel [1], and more recently to joint domainrange density estimates that incorporate spatial information [6]. Another line of work has shown the benefits of increasingly complex feature representations, including the use of texture information, local binary patterns, and recently scale-invariant local ternary patterns [4]. In this work, we use joint domain-range based estimates for background and foreground scores and show that dynamically choosing kernel variances in our kernel estimates at each individual pixel can significantly improve results. We give a heuristic method for selectively applying the adaptive kernel calculations which is nearly as accurate as the full procedure but runs much faster. We combine these modeling improvements with recently developed complex features [4] and show significant improvements on a standard backgrounding benchmark.

description: Growing role of intellectual capital within organizations is affecting new strategies related to knowledge management and competence development. Among different aspects related to this field, knowledge diffusion has become one of interesting areas from both practitioner and researchers perspective. Several models were proposed with main goal to simulate diffusion and to explain the nature of these processes. Existing models are focused on knowledge diffusion and they assume diffusion within a single layer using knowledge representation. From the organizational perspective connecting several types of knowledge and modelling changes of competence can bring additional value. In the article we extended existing approaches by using multilayer diffusion model and focused on analysis of competence development process. The proposed model describes competence development process in a new way through horizontal and vertical knowledge diffusion in multilayer network. In the network, agents collaborate and interchange various kind of knowledge through different layers and this mutual activities affect the competences in a positive or negative way. Taking under consideration workers cognitive and social abilities and the previous level of competence the new competence level can be estimated. The model is developed to support competence management in different organizations.
À Procura da Pessoa na Legalidade das Necessidades Educativas Especiais

Publisher: name: Aprender
Year: 2015

description: Há muito que as necessidades educativas especiais têm vindo a ganhar vida nas nossas escolas com o apoio crescente da legalidade por si imposta. Mas onde se encontra a pessoa nesse abstracto sujeito, criança, jovem e, quiçá, adulto? A presente reflexão percorre de modo sucinto os quatro momentos legais (Lei de Bases; dec.-Lei 319/91; Dec. Salamanca e o Dec.-Lei 3/ 2008) determinantes para a consistência da assunção das NEE nas Escolas tendo como pano de fundo a pessoa legal e real que nelas existe.

Educação inclusiva e liderança: o papel do diretor de agrupamento de escolas

Year: 2015

description: A educação inclusiva apresenta-se hoje como um desafio à escola tal como a concebemos. Todo o processo de ensino aprendizagem deve ser pautado pelos princípios da igualdade de oportunidades educativas e sociais a que todos têm direito. O quadro legislativo que prevê esta inclusão tem vindo a sofrer alterações ao longo do tempo, mas o lema de Uma escola para Todos tem-se mantido, porque sempre se defendeu uma maior responsabilização da escola para o processo de inclusão de alunos com algum tipo de NEE. Um objetivo tão amplo, na opinião de Correia (2005) só pode ser alcançado se houver colaboração e cooperação entre todos os intervenientes do processo educativo dos alunos, designadamente líderes da escola, professores, profissionais especializados, alunos e respetivas famílias. Este artigo dá conta de alguns resultados de um estudo de caso no qual se procurou conhecer a importância da liderança, em particular dos diretores de escolas, no desenvolvimento de práticas, culturas e políticas promotoras de uma educação inclusiva de qualidade assim como verificar o modo como os documentos estruturantes de um agrupamento espelham essas mesmas políticas.

Managing Social Science Metadata at the Data Archive
Creators: name: Zenk-Möltgen, Wolfgang
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Increasing requirements for standardized metadata documentation possibilities arise from several challenges that a data archive faces nowadays: There are higher amounts of data to be archived. Data stem from a wider variety of data collection methods. The context of data collection and data re-use is more and more inter-disciplinary. Finally, more institutions exchange data and metadata. These challenges require a well-defined set of metadata standards to be used, extending the perspective beyond the use of DDI as the most prominent Social Science metadata standard. Notably, management of controlled vocabularies, supplied by DDI, ISO, CESSDA or others is needed. Practical considerations also include the use of DDI-Codebook or DDI-Lifecylce, specific versions of these and conversion back and forth between them. GESIS prepares several large-scale national and international study collections but also archives smaller studies from single-time research projects or dissertations. GESIS creates and maintains documentation on study and variable level according to DDI and other standards, and offers data and documentation for re-use. For this purpose the metadata is transferred to several portals, both at GESIS and outside, e.g. to da|ra, DataCite, CESSDA Data Catalogue, ExploreData, or special purpose portals like x-econ or VerbundFDB. To meet the demands of these portals, and at the same time fulfil the needs of complex survey series as well as of more basic research datasets, it is required to manage the use of documentation standards, workflow processes, and software tools at the data archive.

description: We study uniform and non-uniform model sets in arbitrary locally compact second countable (lcsc) groups, which provide a natural generalization of uniform model sets in locally compact abelian groups as defined by Meyer and used as mathematical models of quasi-crystals. We then define a notion of auto-correlation for subsets of finite local complexitiy in arbitrary lcsc groups, which generalizes Hof's classical definition beyond the class of amenable groups, and provide a formula for the auto-correlation of a regular model set. Along the way we show that the punctured hull of an arbitrary regular model set admits a unique invariant probability measure, even in the case where the punctured hull is non-compact and the group is non-amenable. In fact this measure is also the unique stationary measure with respect to any admissible probability measure.

Ordinary experience as evidence in Joseph Butler's moral theory
Creators: name: Mills, Heather Ann
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Given Joseph Butler's tripartite view of human psychology, some philosophers argue that he faces three objections: circularity, vacuity and normativity. Sahar Akhtar argues that if we interpret Butler to hold reason and conscience as two different mental capacities, he can answer these objections. Amelie Rorty argues, in contrast, that he can do so while maintaining that reason and conscience are the same mental capacity. I agree with Rorty's conclusion and argue that: 1) Part of the reason the disagreement arises in the secondary literature is due the fact that Butler presents his philosophical position in colloquial English. 2) I conclude that if we take Butler at his word that the evidence of his philosophical position comes from our very experiences of making moral decisions then he does not in fact face the three objections.
