SI LIVE Closing Session - Peter Baeck on Digital Social Innovation
This document summarizes Peter Baeck's presentation on digital social innovation (DSI) at SI Live in Lisbon on November 13, 2014. The presentation defined DSI, discussed examples in four technological areas, and shared lessons learned from mapping over 900 European organizations involved in DSI. The key findings were that most DSI projects are driven by new types of social innovation organizations, there is a skills gap around digital technologies in the social sector, and most activity is currently small-scale but rapidly evolving.

Visual Information Analysis for Crisis and Natural Disasters Management and R...Yiannis Kompatsiaris
Invited talk at the Ninth International Conference on Image Processing Theory, Tools and Applications IPTA 2019 (http://www.ipta-conference.com/ipta19/)
Crises and natural disasters are unwelcome, but also unavoidable features of modern society, affecting more communities than ever. Visual information analysis plays an important role in efficient pre-event (e.g. risk modeling), during the event (response) and post-event (recovery) emergency situation management. This talk will describe the potential role of visual information sources including satellite images, surveillance and traffic cameras, social multimedia and aerial video in applications such as floods, fires, and oil spills. Multimodal and fusion techniques will be presented combining satellite and social data and how deep neural networks can be applied in this domain. The talks will include demos and results from the relevant BeAware and EOPEN projects and from our participation in the 2018 Multimedia Satellite Task of the MediaEval Benchmarking Initiative.Linked Data for Digital Humanities research at Media Archives

The role of individuals and communities in IoT
Presented on May 10, 2016 by Luca Mari at the International conference “IoTnow Everything but hype” (Milan Disruptive week) in the session “Overview of IoT key issues, opportunities and threats”.
Abstract:
Differently from the industrial automation epitomised in the Computer Integrated Manufacturing of the ’70s and ’80s, IoT is a human-centric technology, in which the widespread adoption of open source and hardware tools lowers the barriers to entry and blurs the roles, toward scenarios of extreme customisation made by prosumers operating in informal, dynamic communities. With some reflections on this perspective, from the data and experiences obtained in an ongoing European research project on the “Digital Do It Yourself” phenomenon.

The (r)evolution of CI/CD on GitHub
This document discusses the rise of GitHub Actions (GHA) as a dominant continuous integration (CI) service based on a longitudinal study of 91,810 GitHub repositories. The study analyzed the evolution and usage of seven popular CI services over nine years, focusing on their co-usage and migration patterns. The study provides statistical evidence that GHA became the most used CI service within 18 months of its introduction, coinciding with a decrease in Travis usage likely due to policy changes and migrations to GHA. Interviews with software practitioners revealed competition between services and reasons for co-using or migrating between alternatives.

Nurturing the Software Ecosystems of the Future
In January 2018, four Software Engineering research groups located in different Belgian Universities launched a five year research project to nurture the software ecosystems of the future. We assembled a diverse team of about a dozen researchers and embarked on an exciting journey leading to a rich and diverse suite of papers, tools and datasets. Halfway into the project the corona pandemic intervened, but despite several months of lockdown, we succeeded in increasing inter-university collaboration. In this paper we share our achievements so that the BENEVOL community may benefit from our experience.

Comparing semantic versioning practices in Cargo, npm, Packagist and Rubygems
Presentation by Tom Mens at PackagingCon 2021 on Wednesday 10 November 2021.
Abstract: Semantic versioning (semver) is a commonly accepted open source practice, used by many package management systems to inform whether new package releases introduce possibly backward incompatible changes. Maintainers depending on such packages can use this practice to reduce the risk of breaking changes in their own packages by specifying version constraints on their dependencies. Depending on the amount of control a package maintainer desires to assert over her package dependencies, these constraints can range from very permissive to very restrictive. We empirically compared the evolution of semver compliance in four package management systems: Cargo, npm, Packagist and Rubygems. We discuss to what extent ecosystem-specific characteristics influence the degree of semver compliance, and we suggest to develop tools adopting the wisdom of the crowds to help package maintainers decide which type of version constraints they should impose on their dependencies.
We also studied to which extent the packages distributed by these package managers are still using a 0.y.z release, suggesting less stable and immature packages. We explore the effect of such "major zero" packages on semantic versioning adoption.
Our findings shed insight in some important differences between package managers with respect to package versioning policies.
Our empirical results have been published in two peer-reviewed academic journals: the IEEE Transactions in Software Engineering (https://doi.org/10.1109/TSE.2019.2918315) and Elsevier Science of Computer Programming (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scico.2021.102656).

Lost in Zero Space
Presentation by Tom Mens at FOSDEM21 (Free Open Source Developers Meeting, February 2021). Published in Science of Computer Programming, August 2021.
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scico.2021.102656
Abstract: When developing open source software end-user applications or reusable software packages, developers depend on software packages distributed through package managers such as npm, Packagist, Cargo, RubyGems. In addition to this, empirical evidence has shown that these package managers adhere to a large extent to semantic versioning principles. Packages that are still in major version zero are considered unstable according to semantic versioning, as some developers consider such packages as immature, still being under initial development.
This presentation reports on large-scale empirical evidence on the use of dependencies towards 0.y.z versions in four different software package distributions: Cargo, npm, Packagist and RubyGems. We study to which extent packages get stuck in the zero version space, never crossing the psychological barrier of major version zero. We compare the effect of the policies and practices of package managers on this phenomenon. We do not reveal the results of our findings in this abstract yet, as it would spoil the fun of the presentation.
Evaluating a bot detection model on git commit messages
Detecting the presence of bots in distributed software development activity is very important in order to prevent bias in socio-technical empirical studies. In previous work, we proposed a classification model to detect bots in GitHub repositories based on the pull request and issue comments of GitHub accounts. The current study generalises the approach to git contributors based on their commit messages. We train and evaluate the classification model on a large dataset of 6,922 git contributors. The original model based on pull request and issue comments obtained a precision of 0.77 on this dataset, whereas retraining the classification model on git commit messages increased the precision to 0.80. As a proof-of-concept, we implemented this model in BoDeGiC, an open source command-line tool to detect bots in git repositories.

Abstract: Many empirical studies focus on socio-technical activity in social coding platforms such as GitHub, for example to study the onboarding, abandonment, productivity and collaboration among team members. Such studies face the difficulty that GitHub activity can also be generated automatically by bots of a different nature. It therefore becomes imperative to distinguish such bots from human users. We propose an automated approach to detect bots in GitHub pull request activity. Relying on the assumption that bots contain repetitive message patterns in their pull request comments, we analyse the similarity between multiple messages from the same GitHub identity, using a clustering method that combines the Jaccard and Levenshtein distance. We empirically evaluate our approach by analysing 20,090 comments of 250 users and 42 bots in 1,262 GitHub repositories. Our results show that the method is able to clearly separate bots from human users.
On the fragility of open source software packaging ecosystems

1. 0.y.z packages are highly prevalent, contributing to 90% of packages in some distributions even though documentation states they are for initial development.
2. It generally takes a few months for packages to reach ≥1.0.0 but 20% take over a year, suggesting packages get stuck in 0.y.z.
3. 0.y.z packages are updated slightly more frequently but the difference is negligible, and there is little practical difference in how 0.y.z and ≥1.0.0 packages are used.
Comparing dependency issues across software package distributions (FOSDEM 2020)
This talk reports on our findings based on multiple empirical studies that we have conducted to understand different aspects of dependency management and their practical implications. This includes:
* the outdatedness of package dependencies, the transitive impact of such "technical lag", and its relation to the presence of bugs and security vulnerabilities.
* the impact of using either more permissive or more restrictive version contraints on dependencies.
* the virtues and limitations of being compliant to semantic versioning, a common policy to inform dependents whether new releases of software packages introduce possibly backward incompatible changes.
* the impact of specific characteristics, policies and tools used by the packaging ecosystem and its supporting community on all of the above.
The contents of the talk is primarily based on the following peer-reviewed scientific articles:

Empirically Analysing the Socio-Technical Health of Software Package Managers
Invited presentation at Concordia University (Montreal, Canada) by Eleni Constantinou and Tom Mens on recent research about the socio-technical health issues in software package management ecosystems.
Abstract: The large majority of today’s software is relying on open software software components. Such components are typically distributed through package managers for a wide variety of programming languages, and developed and maintained through online distributed software development services like GitHub. Software component repositories are perceived as software ecosystems that constitute complex and evolving socio-technical software dependency networks. Because of their complexity and evolution, these ecosystems tend to suffer from a wide variety of software health issues that can be either technical or social in nature. Examples of such issues include the ecosystem fragility due to exponential growth and transitive dependencies; the abundance of outdated, unmaintained or obsolete software components; the prolonged presence of unfixed bugs and security vulnerabilities; the abandonment or high turnover of key contributors, suboptimal collaboration between contributors, and many more. This presentation will report on our past and ongoing empirical research that studies such health factors within and across different software packaging ecosystems (such as npm, RubyGems, Cargo, CRAN, CPAN). We provide empirical evidence of some of the health problems, compare their presence across different ecosystems, and suggest ways to reduce their potential impact by providing concrete guidelines and tools. The presented research Is being conducted by researchers of the Software Engineering Lab at the University of Mons in the context of two ongoing projects SECOHealth and SECO-ASSIST, aiming to analyse and improve the health of software ecosystems.

Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.

With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
BREEDING METHODS FOR DISEASE RESISTANCE.pptx
Plant breeding for disease resistance is a strategy to reduce crop losses caused by disease. Plants have an innate immune system that allows them to recognize pathogens and provide resistance. However, breeding for long-lasting resistance often involves combining multiple resistance genes
The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptx
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptx
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvement
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
