Wikimania 2016 - User digest: Licenses, open policiesFederico Morando
This document summarizes key points about copyright and open licensing policies. By default, copyright law grants creators exclusive rights over their work, but they can opt to make the work more openly available through an open license. Choosing a license with high legal interoperability, like Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike, allows content to be freely built upon across different sources and projects. Ensuring the proper rights clearance is important when determining what licenses can lawfully be applied.

The implementation of the INSPIRE Directive in Europe and similar efforts around the globe to develop spatial data infrastructures and global systems of systems have been focusing largely on the adoption of agreed technologies, standards, and specifications to meet the (systems) interoperability challenge. Addressing the key scientific challenges of humanity in the 21st century requires however a much increased inter-disciplinary effort, which in turn makes more complex demands on the type of systems and arrangements needed to support it. This paper analyses the challenges for inter-disciplinary interoperability using the experience of the EuroGEOSS research project. It argues that inter-disciplinarity requires mutual understanding of requirements, methods, theoretical underpinning and tacit knowledge, and this in turn demands for a flexible approach to interoperability based on mediation, brokering and semantics-aware, cross-thematic functionalities. The paper demonstrates the implications of adopting this approach and charts the trajectory for the evolution of current spatial data infrastructures.

Open source licensing can be complicated for laypeople to understand. The document discusses some key concepts around open source licensing including:
- Open source licenses like the GPL require sharing source code modifications, while permissive licenses like MIT do not.
- Choosing an open source license has legal implications for how software can be used and modified. Strong copyleft licenses like GPL require any changes be shared.
- Understanding license compatibility and how licenses apply to derivatives is important, as mixing licenses could require releasing entire works under more restrictive terms.

OpenAIRE webinar: Horizon 2020 Open Science Policies and beyond, with Emilie ...OpenAIRE
This document summarizes the key policies and requirements around open science in Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe research funding programs. It outlines that Horizon 2020 made open access to publications mandatory and launched a pilot program for open access to research data. Horizon Europe will continue and strengthen these policies by making open access to research data the default, requiring data management plans aligned with FAIR principles, and potentially including sanctions for non-compliance. Open science practices will also be more embedded and promoted throughout the research process.

This document discusses challenges around open access to scientific data generated by small independent studies, also known as "small science". It notes that unlike large collaborative "big science" fields which have established norms and infrastructure for data sharing, data from small science is often not deposited in public repositories or openly shared due to a lack of standards and incentives. The document argues that free and open access to scientific data should be the norm regardless of the size or nature of the research in order to advance scientific progress.

Diètes végétarienne et végétaliste, choix ou nécessité ? je vous parlerai d’une question que j’aime particulièrement. C’est-à-dire, si les diètes végétariennes et végétalistes sont un libre choix ou une nécessité. Je vais maintenant vous présentez un récent évènement qui s’est passé en octobre à Paris : la 15me édition du festival « Veggie Pride ». Si le Veggie Pride met l’accent sur un végétarisme étique (ne pas manger les animaux que sont des êtres « sentients »), dans cette discussion je voudrais porter à votre attention d’autres aspects relatifs à l’écologie et à la santé du choix végétarien pour arriver à comprendre s’il s’agit d’un choix ou bien d’une nécessité.
This document compares the carbon dioxide emissions of hybrid cars, eating apples and croissants, and following a vegan diet. It estimates that driving a hybrid instead of a non-hybrid would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 360 tons per year. It also estimates that eating apples instead of croissants would reduce emissions by 14.4 tons per year based on consumption of 200 people. Finally, it estimates that following a vegan diet would reduce emissions by 619 tons per year compared to the average diet based on differences in average kilometers traveled per year.
The document discusses open geo-spatial data and spatial data infrastructures. It provides an overview of key concepts including open data, geographic information systems (GIS), spatial data formats and standards, and spatial data infrastructure initiatives like INSPIRE which aim to make spatial data interoperable across Europe. The document also discusses global open data efforts like the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) and GEOSS, as well as principles for open data and how data can be made more open and accessible.
The document discusses open data and its uses. Open data is data that can be freely used, reused and redistributed by anyone subject to attribution and share-alike requirements. Open data has the potential to unlock $3-5 trillion in economic value annually across sectors when combined with open source tools and humanitarian projects. Barriers to open data include legal, organizational, technical, and contextual issues. The presentation promotes open data principles and releasing datasets publicly through open data portals.
Este documento presenta una introducción a los sistemas de información geográfica y datos georeferenciados. Explica conceptos como sistemas de coordenadas, proyecciones de mapas, y formatos comunes de datos espaciales como Shapefiles, GeoTIFF y NetCDF. También describe las características particulares de los GIS, como la capacidad de representar y analizar datos geoespaciales y fenómenos multidimensionales. Finalmente, introduce el concepto de infraestructuras de datos espaciales.
This document proposes an approach to improve geographic information (GI) interoperability through emergent semantics. It describes using structure preserving semantic matching (SPSM) to find correspondences between semantically related nodes in graph-like representations (e.g. schemas, ontologies) while preserving structural properties. An example matching geo-services requests is provided. Evaluation on synthesized datasets showed average precision and recall of 0.78, demonstrating the potential of the approach. Future work will include extensive evaluation and extending the approach to fully developed spatial data infrastructure ontologies.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
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.
The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
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.
Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
Current Ms word generated power point presentation covers major details about the micronuclei test. It's significance and assays to conduct it. It is used to detect the micronuclei formation inside the cells of nearly every multicellular organism. It's formation takes place during chromosomal sepration at metaphase.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
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

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 binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
hematic appreciation test is a psychological assessment tool used to measure an individual's appreciation and understanding of specific themes or topics. This test helps to evaluate an individual's ability to connect different ideas and concepts within a given theme, as well as their overall comprehension and interpretation skills. The results of the test can provide valuable insights into an individual's cognitive abilities, creativity, and critical thinking skills

A question for you: is it difficult to
use a data catalogue? Why?
97
From the user point of view (what I found):
● I do not known about it
● I cannot found what I need
○ “Spaghetti” catalogues
■ many records
■ not clear what is inside (no clear classification)
■ too few datasets
● I do not receive updates
○ On datasets I am interested in
● Even if I found it
○ I cannot access it
■ Broken links, access barriers (registrations,…)
○ Is the dataset the last version?
