This document summarizes the bioassay method used to test the potency of heparin preparations. The method involves comparing the clotting time of plasma incubated with the test heparin sample to the clotting time of plasma incubated with a reference standard heparin preparation. Several dilutions of both the standard and test sample are tested to identify the dilution for each that results in equivalent clotting time. The potency of the test sample can then be estimated based on its equivalent dilution relative to the standard. The bioassay follows specific procedures for obtaining and preparing plasma, making standard and test solutions, conducting the clotting time assays, and calculating potency results.

Bioassay (commonly used shorthand for biological assay), or biological standardization is a type of scientific experiment. A bioassay involves the use of a live animal (in vivo) or tissue (in vitro) to determine the biological activity of a substance, such as a hormone or drug. Bioassays are typically conducted to measure the effects of a substance on a living organism and are essential in the development of new drugs and in monitoring environmental pollutants. Both are procedures by which the potency or the nature of a substance is estimated by studying its effects on living matter. A bioassay can also be used to determine the concentration of a particular constitution of a mixture.
Basic principles of chemotherapy/ AMAs covers definition, history of AMAs development, principles of AMAs, problems associated with AMAs, failure of therapy with examples.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Ā
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
Ā
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Ā
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as āpredictable inferenceā.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

prevent the clotting of sheep or goat or human
plasma with the concentration of the standard
preparation of heparin sodium.
ā¢Its is necessary to give the same effect under the
same conditions of the method of assay.
4. Bioassay of Heparin (flow chart)

6. Bioassay of Heparin
Requirements:
ā¢Standard heparin (for assay)
ā¢Plasma (form sheep or goats, human)
ā¢Solution of standard solution
ā¢Test drug/ heparin
ā¢Standard heparin:
Purified freeze-dried heparin sodium salt from bovine/
pork intestinal mucous. The potency of standard
heparin has been determined in relation to the
International Standard stated by the World Health
Organization.
7. Bioassay of Heparin
ā¢ Prepared plasma:
Collect the blood from sheep or goat or human in vessel
containing 8% w/v of sodium citrate (The ratio of
sodium citrate and blood is 1:19)
Mix gently and centrifuge to pool out plasma
Clean test tube ļ In one ml of pooled plasma, add 0.2
ml of 1% w/v of calcium chloride solution and mix it
The plasma is suitable if clot form within 5 min
8. Bioassay of Heparin
ā¢ Solution of standard preparation:
The minimum quantity of standard preparation of
heparin sodium which, when added in 0.8 ml of saline
solution, maintain fluidity in 1 ml of prepared plasma
for 1 h after addition of 0.2 ml of 1% w/v calcium
chloride.
ā¢ Test solution:
Weigh accurately about 25 mg of the test sample
Dissolve in sufficient saline to give the concentration of
1 mg/ml
Dilute the test solution corresponds to that of standard
9. Bioassay of Heparin
Method:
ā¢In cline test tube, add graded amount of the solution of
standard preparation (the largest dose not exceed 0.8
ml)
ā¢Add sufficient volume of saline to make total volume of
0.8 ml and add 1 ml of prepared plasma to each test tube
ā¢Add 0.2 ml of 1 % w/v solution of calcium chloride, note
the time
ā¢Mix the content properly so entire inner surface of the
tube is wet
10. Bioassay of Heparin
Method Cont.,
ā¢In same manner setup a series of test preparation
(complete the entire process within 20 min after addition
of prepared plasma)
ā¢After 1 hr the addition of calcium chloride solution,
determine the extent of clotting in each test tube
ā¢Recognize three grades between zero and full clotting
ā¢Dilution of the test solution which contains same
concentration as that of standard shows same
degree of clotting
11. Bioassay of Heparin
Method Cont.,
ā¢If the degree of clotting in dilution of the standard
preparation lies between that observed in 2 of the
dilution of test preparation, the potency of later is
estimated
ā¢If there is no correspondence between the degree of
clotting by standard and test, new dilution prepared
and assay is repeated
ā¢Calculate the estimated potency of the preparation by
combining the result of assay with standard statistical
method
