An experience with peer assessment in the context of a Computer Systems course

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, situated in the Research-to-Practice Category, we describe a Work in Progress on the application of Peer Assessment in the context of a Computer Science course. Peer Assessment has been studied both as way of generating learning experiences and as a way of improving the efficiency and accuracy of the feedback loop. We report on this paper the execution of a Peer Assessment activity on a Computer Systems course. After solving an one-hour quiz containing easy to moderate questions, students received a set of detailed grading instructions and were asked to grade a colleague's quiz. We borrow concepts from rubric design to create informative grading instructions that relate parts of the student's answers to the learning objectives of the quiz. Students received support from the instructor on how to grade but not on their grading. We validated our experience by analysing student perception using a questionnaire and by comparing student assigned grades to instructor assigned ones. Encouraging results were found to support both the learning and the grading aspects, although sample size (N=20) did not allow more complex statistical analysis to be performed. We also analyzed the in-class execution of the activity, listing successes and points of improvement.
Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy for Pheochromocytoma

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

aparoscopic adrenalectomy is the standard for most surgical adrenal diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic adrenalectomy for patients with pheochromocytoma. The medical records of 39 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy for pheochromocytomas from 1994 to 2000 at the University of California–San Francisco were reviewed. Three groups of patients were identified. The first group comprised 17 patients with classic symptoms and signs of pheochromocytoma. The second group comprised 17 patients who had minimal symptoms and incidentally discovered pheochromocytoma (i.e., "incidentaloma"), almost half of whom inappropriately underwent fine‐needle biopsies before diagnosis. The third group consisted of 5 patients who had acute hypertensive crises and required intensive preoperative preparation. The mean age of the 22 men and 17 women was 46 years (range 20–84 years), and the mean adrenal tumor size was 4.8 cm (range 2–12 cm). A total of 43 laparoscopic adrenalectomies were performed for 35 patients with unilateral tumors and 4 patients with bilateral tumors. The retroperitoneal approach was used in four patients and the lateral transabdominal approach in the remaining patients without conversion to an open operation. There were no intraoperative complications or mortality. The mean duration of hospitalization was 1.7 days. In conclusion, patients with pheochromocytoma have a wide spectrum of presentations, from minimal symptoms to hypertensive crises. When evaluating an incidentaloma, pheochromocytoma should be excluded by metabolic testing, not by needle biopsy. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is the preferred surgical approach for patients with pheochromocytoma because it is safe and efficacious.
The Semantic Confusion Surrounding 'Brain Death'

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

To the Editor. —Grigg and colleagues 1 in a past issue of theArchiveshave documented that electroencephalographic (EEG) activity, sometimes bearing a striking resemblance to physiologic sleep, can persist in the presence of extensive infarcts. This is hardly surprising nor is it new information. The only really new contribution of the article is the increase in semantic confusion generated by labeling such a state death. The British, whose concepts inspired the authors, are at least some-what more attentive to terminologic exactitude. They speak of brain-stem death, by which they mean (destruction) of the brain stem, the relevance of which is that it indicates an invariably fatal prognosis, despite the use of aggressive life-support technology. 2,3 The main reason for wanting to diagnose this condition is to demonstrate the futility of such treatment, as a justification for withdrawing it. 3,4 Brain-stem death so understood is, of course
Improving Census-based Socioeconomic GIS for Public Policy: Recent Immigrants, Spatially Concentrated Poverty and Housing Need in Vancouver

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

There are a number of socioeconomic phenomena that are difficult to discern using only census data. We present an innovative approach developed to discern the spatial dimensions of risk for homelessness amongst recent immigrants in Vancouver, Canada. Dasymetric mapping and a postal survey are employed to improve the resolution and utility of census data. The results illustrate the potential for developing a more nuanced understanding of the spatial dimensions of complex socioeconomic phenomena using a combination of secondary data and primary data. It is argued that higher-resolution data aids in identifying and understanding socioeconomic phenomena that are highly localized and misrepresented by coarsely aggregated data. Finally, the potential for population surveillance is discussed and weighed against the benefits for policy-makers, non-governmental organizations, and researchers.

The Political Persecution of a Poet: A Detail of Dante's Exile

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Durante degli Alighieri, known throughout the world as simply Dante, was a fourteenth century Italian poet, philosopher, literary theorist, and politician. He is best known for his epic Commedia, which was later dubbed The Divine Comedy. Commedia is generally considered the greatest Italian literary work and a masterpiece of world literature. Due to the turbulent political atmosphere of his time and place, Dante spent over a third of his life living in exile. This paper will explore the details of Dante's exile and the influence that it had upon his work.
A Study of Improving Project Management and Supervision Cost Estimation of Intelligent Transport Systems

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

교통체계지능화사업은 교통, 정보통신, 토목 등 다양한 분야의 기술과 시스템을 다루는 복합사업으로 전문적인 관리활동이 요구된다. 그러나 사업관리와 감리 간의 업무구분이 명확하지 않아 부실시공 등의 문제 발생시 책임소재를 규정하기 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 교통 체계지능화사업 추진의 효율성 제고를 위해 교통체계지능화사업의 특성에 맞는 사업관리 및 감리 제도를 마련하는데 그 목적을 가지고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 교통체계지능화사업의 사업관리 및 감리의 대가 기준 마련을 위해 비선형 회귀모형과 같은 통계적 모형을 적용하였으며 현실적으로 타당성이 크다고 판단되는 모형을 선정하고자 한다. Since Intelligent Transport Systems(ITS) is a complex project combining technology and system of transportation, information and communication and civil engineer, it needs a specialized management activities. However, it is difficult to judge who has responsibility for a shoddy and fault construction since the role between project management and supervision is very ambiguous. The aim of this study is propose an efficient project management and supervision for ITS reflecting the characteristics of ITS. Therefore, we suggest a statistical models using nonlinear regression model to prepare the project management and supervision compensation criteria, hence, we choose the realistic and validation statistical model.

We describe a 25-year-old woman with no relevant history who consulted for asymptomatic, flesh-colored papules of 1-2 mm, distributed on the anterior area of the neck and neckline (Figure 1). The symptoms started 10 years earlier on the lower eyelids, gradually spreading to the abdomen, neck, and neckline, with outbreaks after periods of sun exposure. Histological study with hematoxylineosin showed an epithelial growth in the superficial and middle dermis, composed of cells with a pale eosinophilic
A FT Spectral Study Of The H-Bond In Galanthamine

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The hydrobromide of the alkaloid galanthamine plays an im-portant role as a medicine in curing polyomelite as well as some diseases of vegetative nervous system. Its spectral properties are investigated by means of IR /1/, UV /2/ and fluorescent spectra /3, 4/ mostly in order to determine its quantity in solutions. Information about the molecular structure of galanthamine is obtained mainly by NMR /5/ and X-ray spectroscopy /6/. In this connection an interesting, but not solved today problem is arising about the existence of H-bond in galanthamine solutions and making more clear this problem is the subject of this work. A Bruker FR-IR spectrometer with termostated cuvette and a Bomem FR-Raman spectrometer are used. The spectral region between 3400 and 3700 cm-1 is considered. The existence of an intramolecular H-bond in galanthamine molecule proved by NMR /5/ and dispersive IR spectra /7/ is confirmed here on the base of obtained FR-IR and FT-Raman spectra. An attempt is made to calculate the H-bond energy. The intermolecular H-bond forming dimers in solutions as accepted in /5/ after NMR study, but not confirmed by dispersive IR spectroscopy /7/, is investigated here by means of temperature depending spectra.
TB167: Management and Winter Hardiness of Hairy Vetch in Maine

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The research presented here describes a set of three different experiments that sought to establish appropriate management practices for hairy vetch in Maine, and to determine whether variability for winter hardiness exists among germplasm available commercially or from gene banks. Specific objectives of the first experiment were to evaluate effects of planting date and companion crop on crop and weed dry weight and total above-ground N content, at two sites differing in drainage. In a second experiment, the winter hardiness of hairy vetch from six commercial sources and the effect of a rye companion crop on hardiness were evaluated. In a third experiment, 69 V. villosa accessions from three gene banks were evaluated for winter hardiness, vigor, flowering date, and seed production.

An initial approach of PES and entrainment mapping under conscious sedation is critically important for patients with NICMP referred for epicardial ablation. Empiric ablation of endocardial/epicardial scar would have missed the clinical VT in 20% of patients.
Ownership structure and stock liquidity: Some evidence from the Jordanian capital market

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

It is common knowledge that the microstructure of securities markets has generated a large number of research papers. This effort is not really surprising if one understands that market liquidity is important because of its implications for firms’ investment and financing decisions and the development of financial markets. This paper examines the issue of stock liquidity in the Jordanian capital market. Specifically, we provide of measure of liquidity cost and relate it to firm specific characteristics including the ownership structure of stocks. Based on the daily trading data for a total of 131 listed companies during 2005, the results indicate that liquidity cost in the Jordanian market is high. In addition, the results indicate that while risk is the main determinant factor of spread, higher ownership dispersion does not improve market liquidity.
Challenging the Orthodoxy: Giving the Court a Role in Scrutiny of Delegated Legislation

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Australia was once a world leader in parliamentary oversight of delegated legislation. Today, parliamentary scrutiny has been undermined by a number of factors, including overly wide delegations, uncritical bi-partisan support for measures, party discipline restraining oversight, abuse of the disallowance procedure and parliamentary recesses to avoid parliamentary scrutiny, and interest-group capture within government. One of the reasons for the current state of affairs has been the constitutional orthodoxy in Australia that the courts do not intervene in the relationship between Parliament and the Executive. This article develops an alternative to that orthodoxy. I argue that the courts have a proper and necessary role in prodding parliamentary oversight of executive power, specifically in the delegated legislative sphere.
High risk mitigation measures in the Artificial Intelligence Regulation

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The aim of the article is to determine the extent to which the Artificial Intelligence Regulation of March 13, 2024 (Artificial Intelligence Act) limits the risk of using products in which artificial intelligence systems are used. This is important because it has been considered a source of danger (e.g. UN resolution on AI security of March 21, 2024). The issue of an extensive scope of regulations in the process of designing and developing systems to ensure safety is also considered, which includes a number of obligations imposed on a broadly defined group of responsible entities. This act very carefully introduces, in some areas, a number of legal measures to counteract broadly understood product risk.
Follistatin promotes LIN28B-mediated supporting cell reprogramming and hair cell regeneration in the murine cochlea

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

Hair cell (HC) loss within the inner ear cochlea is a leading cause for deafness in humans. Before the onset of hearing, immature supporting cells (SCs) in neonatal mice have some limited capacity for HC regeneration. Here, we show that in organoid culture, transient activation of the progenitor-specific RNA binding protein LIN28B and Activin antagonist follistatin (FST) enhances regenerative competence of maturing/mature cochlear SCs by reprogramming them into progenitor-like cells. Transcriptome profiling and mechanistic studies reveal that LIN28B drives SC reprogramming, while FST is required to counterbalance hyperactivation of transforming growth factor–β–type signaling by LIN28B. Last, we show that LIN28B and FST coactivation enhances spontaneous cochlear HC regeneration in neonatal mice and that LIN28B may be part of an endogenous repair mechanism that primes SCs for HC regeneration. These findings indicate that SC dedifferentiation is critical for HC regeneration and identify LIN28B and FST as main regulators.
The Role of Administrative Procedures in Preventing the Backlog of Sexual Assault Evidence Kits

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Across the nation, states are facing a large backlog of sexual assault evidence kits. Sexual assault evidence often sits in a police department or hospital for years without being tested. Public safety is diminished as criminal DNA is not tested and entered into CODIS. Victims have no sense of justice, and may lose confidence in the system. Without attention to the issue, the backlog will only continue to grow. As states have developed innovative and effective methods for addressing the backlog, their successes and failures have served as a base for others who are considering changes to avoid future backlogs. This study examined the Sexual Assault Forensic Evidence (SAFE) kit procedures in Kentucky and established four primary areas of concern: Funding, procedures, victim notification, and collaboration. States from across the nation were analyzed on one or more of these fronts to determine the best practices foraddressing the backlog of SAFE kits. While other states have made significant strides toward the elimination of the current backlog and the prevention of future backlogs, six states were analyzed in-depth: California, Texas, Utah, Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois. Based on the analysis of practices in these states, this paper provides suggestions as to the next steps for Kentucky policy makers and stakeholders in improving the state’s SAFE Kit tracking and testing structure.
What makes tax-exempt hospitals special?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

As local, state, and federal policy makers seek additional sources of revenue to help finance health care and other services, the distinction between for-profit and not-for-profit healthcare organizations is receiving increased scrutiny. Healthcare financial managers and consultants should prepare to defend their organizations against those seeking to demonstrate that, at the very least, there is no substantive difference between not-for-profit and for-profit providers.
A Rapid Coordinate Transformation Method for Serial Robot Calibration System

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

摘要: 针对串联机器人标定系统中的工业机器人基座标系{B}与激光跟踪仪测量坐标系{T}的转换问题,提出一种融合多点拟合法和轴线矢量测量法的坐标系快速转换方法。该融合坐标系快速转换方法首先利用轴线矢量测量法获得旋转矩阵R,然后利用多点拟合法获得位移矢量T,进而得到坐标系转换矩阵BTR。试验结果表明该融合坐标系快速转换方法的测量时间比多点拟合方法减少了184.68 s,但综合RMSE(Root mean squared error,RMSE)增加了0.215 mm;相比于基于关节圆交点的坐标系转换方法,该方法的综合RMSE降低了0.626 mm,测量时间仅增加了51.26 s;相比于基于平面拟合转换法,该方法的综合RMSE与测量时间分别降低了2.790 mm和120.0 s。因此,该融合坐标系快速转换方法的转换精度远优于基于轴线测量的坐标系转换方法,相比于多点拟合法具有相近的转换精度和更好的测量效率。
Using the H-Index of Concentration with Published Data

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

N theoretical discussions industrial organization specialists often indicate a preference for comprehensive or summary concentration indices over the more readily available concentration ratios. Such indices consider the entire size distribution of sellers in a market, and they give weight to both fewness of sellers and inequality of market shares. The most popular such measure is probably the H index of Hirschman (1945) and Herfindahl (1950). (See Hart (1975) for a discussion of alternatives and a list of references.) Let P1 be the share of the largest firm in an industry, measured in terms of sales, employment, or whatever scale variable is considered most relevant, let P2 be the share of the second largest firm, and so on, in a market with N sellers. Then H is defined by
Bio-ecological characteristics of invasive foliar nematode Aphelenchoides fragariae and its safe and effective management

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Aphelenchoides fragariae, the foliar nematode, is an emerging phytosanitary threat in Indonesia, attacking horticulturals. Initially documented on Andrographis paniculata in 2003, it has now extended to strawberry, shallot, garlic, dracaena, and several ferns. The humid tropical climate of Indonesia, along with its frequent rain, promotes its survival and expansion. This study documents its incidence and quarantine records, summarizes knowledge of biology, host range, and transmission, assesses environmentally safe control measures, and recommends integrated pest management strategies for sustainable horticulturals. This study aimed to encapsulate the Aphelenchoides fragariae species as an invasive species, examining its influence on horticultural systems and the approaches for its management. The study synthesizes national and international literature through the year 2025 to consolidate knowledge on the biology, host range, transmission pathways, documented damage, diagnostic methods, and management options for Aphelenchoides fragariae relevant to Indonesian horticulture. The elements affecting production and trade, as well as eco-friendly control alternatives, were investigated and pinpointed to recommend a practical integrated pest management system that bolsters national agricultural progress and adheres to global phytosanitary requirements. Aphelenchoides fragariae persists in plant debris, enters dormancy under stress, and reproduces rapidly, with a host range of nearly five hundred species across one hundred families. It spreads through rain splash, sprinkler irrigation, infected foliage, asymptomatic planting material, and trade. The nematode causes severe defoliation reported as 60–80 percent and 65–82 percent yield decline under heavy infestation. Alternative management strategies must align with integrated pest management principles, focusing on prevention and low-impact solutions. Use of pest-free planting material, quarantine, molecular surveillance, residue removal, drip irrigation are preventing infestations, hot water treatment, validated botanical nematicides (neem, cashew nutshell liquid, essential oils), biological antagonists, and regulated use of low-toxicity chemicals only as a last resort are suppressing populations. Environmentally safe management of nematodes relies on biological measures such as botanicals, beneficial and antagonistic microbes. Techniques including hot water treatment and sanitation contribute to the reduction of inoculum. Limited use of low-toxicity chemicals, quarantine safeguards, and regulation further improve environmental safety. To achieve effective implementation, it is essential to provide training for farmers, ensure thorough monitoring, foster collaboration, and integrate nematode surveillance within early warning systems.
