Profiling social networks to provide useful and privacy‐preserving web search

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Web search engines ( WSEs ) use search queries to profile users and to provide personalized services like query disambiguation or refinement. These services are valuable because users get an enhanced search experience. However, the compiled user profiles may contain sensitive information that might represent a privacy threat. This issue should be addressed in a way that it also preserves the utility of the profile with regard to search services. State‐of‐the‐art approaches tackle these issues by generating and submitting fake queries that are related to the interests of the user. This technique allows the WSE to only know general (and useful) data while the detailed (and potentially private) data are obfuscated. To build fake queries, these proposals rely on past queries to obtain user interests. However, we argue that this is not always the best strategy and, in this article, we study the use of social networks to gather more accurate user profiles that enable better personalized service while offering a similar, or even better, level of practical privacy. These hypotheses are empirically supported by evaluations using real profiles gathered from Twitter and a set of AOL search queries.

Low-Voltage Ride-Through Method of the HVDC Transmission System for Feeding Islanded Offshore AC Loads

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper discusses a low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) method for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems that serve as an interconnector between the main onshore ac grid and an islanded offshore ac load. When a line-to-ground fault occurs in the onshore ac grid, a voltage sag will be applied to the HVDC transmission system. This sag will cause fluctuations of the dc voltage, which will cause a shutdown of the entire HVDC system. The proposed LVRT method stabilizes the dc voltage of the HVDC transmission line by reducing the amplitude of the voltage of the offshore ac grid, which is kept constant during normal operation. The proposed method allows the HVDC system to remain connected during voltage sags in the onshore ac grid and enables faster transmission recovery after fault clearance. The validity of the proposed LVRT method is verified by simulations.

Using Peer Assessment Leveraging Large Language Models in Software Engineering Education

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper explores the integration of generative AI and large language models into the realm of software engineering education and training, with a specific focus on the transformation of traditional peer assessment methodologies. The motivation stems from the growing demand for innovative educational techniques that can effectively engage and empower learners in mastering Software Engineering principles. The proposed approach involves presenting students with modeling exercises solved by ChatGPT, prompting them to critically evaluate and provide constructive feedback on the generated solutions. By engaging students in a dialogue with the AI model, we aim to foster a dynamic learning environment where learners can articulate their considerations and insights, thereby enhancing their comprehension of software engineering principles, critical thinking and self evaluation skills. Preliminary results from pilot implementations indicate promising outcomes, suggesting that this approach not only enhances the quality of peer feedback but also contributes to a more interactive and engaging educational experience.
Efficient doping modulation of monolayer WS 2 for optoelectronic applications

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) belong to a subgroup of two-dimensional (2D) materials which usually possess thickness-dependent band structures and semiconducting properties. Therefore, for TMDCs to be widely used in electronic and optoelectronic applications, two critical issues need to be addressed, which are thickness-controllable fabrication and doping modulation of TMDCs. In this work, we successfully obtained monolayer WS2 and achieved its efficient doping by chemical vapor deposition and chemical doping, respectively. The n- and p-type dopings of the monolayer WS2 were achieved by drop coating electron donor and acceptor solutions of triphenylphosphine (PPh3) and gold chloride (AuCl3), respectively, on the surface, which donates and captures electrons to/from the WS2 surface through charge transfer, respectively. Both doping effects were investigated in terms of the electrical properties of the fabricated field effect transistors. After chemical doping, the calculated mobility and density of electrons/holes are around 74.6/39.5 cm2·V−1·s−1 and 1.0 × 1012/4.2 × 1011 cm−2, respectively. Moreover, we fabricated a lateral WS2 p–n homojunction consisting of non-doped n-type and p-doped p-type regions, which showed great potential for photodetection with a response time of 1.5 s and responsivity of 5.8 A/W at VG = 0 V and VD = 1 V under 532 nm light illumination.
Relationship Between Children's Social Competence, Learning Motivation and School Achievement

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract The influences of the social environment and affective factors on academic achievement were identified as early as the 1970s. This line of research continued in the following decades, but the relationship between social competence and academic achievement remained a neglected issue. The aim of the empirical research presented in this paper was to define those components of social competence that influence learning motivation and academic achievement. The following components of social competence were selected for analysis: dynamism, dominance, cooperativeness, politeness, scrupulousness, perseverance, emotional control, impulse control, openness, external-internal control attitude and attachments. Four questionnaires were administered to a sample of 6th and 10th grade students (altogether 438 subjects). The results show that the assessed social factors are not affected considerably by age. The correlation analyses reveal the importance of intrinsic motivation within learning motivation, manifested in its strong relationship to the variables representing the social factors of personality except for emotional stability. The results of the regression analysis indicate that friendliness and openness have the largest impact on each other among social factors extraversion. The results show that conscientiousness, openness and academic self-concept explains most of the variance in intrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation seems to exert considerable effect on these three variables.
"Entrepreneurship Evolution of Cluster Industry in Assam" with special emphasis to Bell metal Industry of Sarthebari

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The word Entrepreneur is derived from the French word, Entreprendre which means to undertake i.e., the person who undertakes the risk of new enterprise. The word entrepreneur, therefore, first appeared in the French language in the beginning of the sixteenth century The concept of Entrepreneurship development in the North Eastern region of India endued around or in about 1973, North Eastern Council (NEC) seems to have played an important role in evolution of this movement over year. NEC was not along about other agencies like the Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) in 1985 along with Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) in1990 have also joined or indulged themselves in this activity by sponsoring the EDP's. The bell metal of Sarthabari (Assam) cluster is also one of the oldest cluster of the country, it was running since the four father generation of present enterprise. The main reason for the development of bell metal is due to the skill sets of the artisans who had been working for ages. The Bell Metal Industry is presently facing acute problems in the procurement of raw materials, financial assistance from government and different intuitions, lack of training facilities, transportation, marketing etc. The artisans have been sufferings from basic facilities like drinking water and sanitation. As a result, health of the workers including their family members was not in good conditions as they are sufferings from various ailments. So if proper care and assistance is not given by the government, then the industry will perish in the future.
Computational design of a chimeric toxin against Claudin-4-expressing cancer cells: molecular modeling, docking and molecular dynamics simulation analysis.

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Cancer is one of the main reasons of mortality all over the world. Over the time, the major ways for cancer-therapy were based on radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery. These methods are not specific enough for that purpose, therefore, new ideas for design of new drugs with higher specificity are considered. Chimeric protein toxins are hybrid proteins consisting of a targeting portion and a toxic one which specifically bind and kill the target cancer cells. The main purpose of this study was designing a recombinant chimeric toxin with biding capability to one of the most key receptors namely claudin-4 which is over-expressed in almost all cancer cells. To design it, we utilized the last 30 C-terminal amino acids of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) as a binding module for claudin-4 and the toxic module which is the A-domain of Shiga toxin from Shigella dysenteriae. Using molecular modeling and docking methods, appropriate binding affinity of the recombinant chimeric toxin to its specific receptor was demonstrated. In the next step, the stability of this interaction was investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. Although partial instability was detected at some time points, however, sufficient stable situation of hydrogens bonds and high binding affinity between the chimeric toxin and receptor were observed in the in silico studies which in turn suggested that this complex could be formed successfully.

Aloe vera and wound healing: a brief review

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Abstract Aloe vera possesses a great therapeutic importance in traditional medicine. It has attracted the attention of modern medical fields due to its wide pharmacological applications. The bioactive substances in Aloe vera proved to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. Taken into our consideration the long history of clinical applications of Aloe vera in traditional medicine, especially for promoting the healing of cutaneous wounds with rare adverse effects, it provides a cheap alternative to many expensive synthetic drugs. Recent techniques in tissue engineering created novel scaffolds based on Aloe gel extracts for wound healing applications. Nonetheless, further guided researche is required to foster the development of Aloe vera based scaffolds for the benefit of worldwide populations. Here, I systemically summarize the main events following wounding and the mechanism of action of Aloe vera in promoting the healing process. I hope to provide a solid piece of information that might be helpful for designing new research studies into this topic.

This paper describes a cost-optimal analysis of residential buildings of Valencian Community, Spain. Thus, an assessment of the contribution of total primary energy savings per year (MW/h) of the social dwellings managed by EVha, Entitat Valenciana d’Habitatge i Sòl (eng. Valencian entity for dwelling and ground) towards the national contribution is presented in this paper. To assess it, the MedZEB cost-optimal methodology has been applied to optimise the performance of the building’s envelope. This means that Optimal Renovation Strategies through Life-Cycle Analysis have been applied to obtain the Packages of Optimal Solutions of the different reference buildings in a reference climate. First, the renovation scenario with 100% of the building stock being renovated has been calculated. Then, the renovation scenario of 1%, being the current European rate of renovation and, finally the renovation scenario of 2%, given that the objective of the Renovation Wave is to at least double the annual energy renovation rate of residential and non-residential buildings by 2030 and to foster deep energy renovations.
804-P: Understanding Off-Label Use of GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor) Agonists among Providers Participating in the T1D Exchange Quality Improvement Collaborative (T1DX-QI)

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: The use of glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists (GLP-1a) as adjunctive therapy to insulin is not yet standard for people with type 1 diabetes (PwT1D) but is being explored. Methods: T1DX-QI Collaborative administered a Qualtrics survey to providers at 55 centers Jul.-Sept. 2023 to determine current opinions and practices regarding the use of GLP-1a in PwT1D. Descriptive analysis was performed. Results: Fifty of 55 centers (91%) completed the survey. Fifty percent of pediatric and 75% of adult centers reported that GLP-1a have a role in T1D management as an adjunctive therapy to insulin. Both pediatric and adult centers reported that they would consider adding a GLP-1a to insulin therapy in PwT1D, based on BMI and total daily insulin dose. Adult providers were more likely to consider the PwT1D’s desire to lose weight, personal or family history of early ASCVD, and presence of NAFLD compared with pediatric providers (Fig. 1). Both adult and pediatric centers reported insurance coverage as a barrier even when PwT1D meet criteria for GLP-1a treatment for weight loss based on BMI. Conclusions: A large percentage of centers report that GLP-1a have a role in T1D management. Providers consider a range of factors when adding GLP-1a to insulin therapy in PwT1D, including data that BMI is an independent risk factor for early ASCVD in PwT1D. Disclosure M. Gallagher: None. M.

ABSTRACT The immune response to heat shock protein A (HspA) in Helicobacter pylori -positive adults increases with age in developed countries. This response has not been studied with children or in developing countries (G. I. Pérez-Pérez, J. M. Thiberge, A. Labigne, and M. J. Blaser, J. Infect. Dis. 174:1046-1050, 1996). As determined by using a specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, HspA seropositivity among 592 individuals in Mexico was <10% in children and increased to >40% in adults.
Fluoride-induced proto- and carbo-desilylation of S,S-, O,O- and O,S-silylated acetals: an insight into the chemical and stereochemical reaction outcome

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

A general overview on the chemical and stereochemical behaviour of a wide range of stereodefined 2-silyl-1,3-dithianes, -1,3-dioxanes, -1,3-dioxolanes and -1,3-oxathiolanes is reported, when subjected to fluoride ion induced proto- and carbo-desilylation. Retention of configuration or epimerization appear depending either on the kind of the substituents on the aromatic ring, but also on the nature of heteroatoms in the silyl acetals, leading to envisage the occurence of a free carbanion or of an hypervalent silylated species.
Changing the Story: Implications of Narrative on Teacher Identity

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study takes a qualitative approach to understanding the connections among narrative, professional identity, and reputation management in public education. Through 15 interviews and five focus groups with high-achieving teachers and administrators, researchers explored the narratives these educators share to understand and improve the story of the teaching profession. Central to the findings are societal, organizational, and community-level factors that have led to a reputation crisis for the profession of teaching and thus contribute to the national teacher shortage. Ultimately, this study points to the notion that a shift in the perception of the value of teaching and teachers can be affected when narratives are understood and the principles of reputation management are applied. Communication interventions that provide a path forward are discussed.
