Granada Seminar (15-‐19 June 2015). Physics Meets the Social Sciences.
We present the citizen science projects we have been running during the past 3 years. We have adopted the idea of running
collective experiments in public spaces of Barcelona to create
crowd-sourced data atainning to concrete questions.
We have been focussed on non‐permanent
or pop-up experiments on
1. human mobility through voluntary tracking. In a park (Science Festival) and in an exhibition room (museum).
2. human decision making through games, as a complementary approach through three different games (Board Game Festival in Barcelona).
Such data sources have allowed us to develop some stochastic models on human behaviour under concrete situations or circumstances. We critically analyse them and extract experience‐based conclusions from both a methodological and conceptual perspective.

The role of learning in citizen scienceMuki Haklay
This is a presentation from the citizen science impact event at the Open University http://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/opentel/citizen-science-impact-event-at-the-open-university/
Citizen science offer different levels of engagement to participants, which have been captured in typologies of the field (contributory, collaborative, co-created, collegial / crowdsourcing, distributed intelligence, participatory science, extreme citizen science). These typologies do no explicitly examine learning. At the same time, projects and activities striving to fulfil multiple goals (excellent scientific output, satisfying engagement, good recruitment, learning …). Within ythe range of citizen science project, we can consider different aspects of learning that are occurring in them, Projects and use examples from a range of project, and raise some aspects that can help those who are designing co-created projects.
Citizen Science: An applied research designed for amateurs & volunteers - A ...Peri Kourakli
It is a type of research in which the citizens (amateurs and no professional researchers) take action and support a targeted research. The selection of the participants for this research varies from a very simple (open to anybody) to more complex processes (eg. to a selected audience or a selected number of participants).
The results of the research are analyzed by expert researchers who also ensure their publication to a broader or targeted audience.
Citizen Science in Open Science context: measuring & understanding impacts of...Muki Haklay
Within the emerging European agenda for open science, deeper public engagement with science, through citizen science, is now part and parcel of Horizon Europe. Yet, there are many issues that need to be understood – the uneven landscape of citizen science across the European Research Area, scientific disciplines, and institutions; the balancing of multiple goals that citizen science projects enact between raising awareness to scientific issues to producing data and analysis that can lead to top discoveries; measuring and assessing the outcomes and outputs of projects; and consideration about the data, analysis, and outputs. The talk will provide a short introduction to citizen science and modes of engagement in it, introduce the “Doing It Together Science” (DITOs) escalator model; and review some of the emerging policy responses to citizen science across the world.

The Evolution of e-Research: Machines, Methods and MusicDavid De Roure
David De Roure's Inaugural Lecture on 28th October at Oxford e-Research Centre, University of Oxford, UK
10 years ago we saw a few early adopters of e-Science technology; now we see acceleration of research through broader adoption and sharing of tools, techniques and artefacts, both for 'big science' and the 'long tail scientist'.
Will this incremental trend continue or are we seeing glimpses of a phase change ahead, where researchers harness these emerging digital capabilities to address research questions in ways that simply were not possible before?
This talk will describe three generations of e-Research, using the myExperiment social website as a lens to glimpse future research practice, and focusing on a web-scale computational musicology project as an illustration of 3rd generation thinking.

Haw GIScience lost its interdisciplinary mojo?Muki Haklay
These are the slides from my talk at the GISCience 2016 conference. There is more information on my blog, but the abstract is:
Over the past 25 years, I have experienced an inside track view of two interdisciplinary research fields: Geographical Information Science (GIScience) and Citizen Science. Over that period, I was also involved in about 20 multidisciplinary, cross-disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary projects. As a result, I also found myself evaluating and funding x-disciplinary projects.
On the basis of these experiences, I’d argue that Interdisciplinarity is always hard, risky, require compromises, accommodations, listening, and making mistakes. The excitement from the outputs and outcomes does not always justify the price. Frequently, there is no-follow on project – it’s been too exhausting.
Considering the project level challenges, viewing interdisciplinary areas of studies emerging is especially interesting. You can notice how concepts are being argued and agreed on. You can see what is inside and what is outside, and where the boundary is drawn. You can see how methodologies, jargon, acceptable behaviour, and modes of operations get accepted or rejected – and from the inside, you can nudge the field and sometimes see the impact of your actions.
GIScience was born as an interdisciplinary field of study, and the period of consolidation that I have seen was supposed to lead to stability and growth. This did not happen. Take any measure that you like: size of conferences, papers – or even the argument if the field deserve a Wikipedia page. Something didn’t work.
In contrast, Citizen Science is already attracting to its conferences audience in the many hundreds – the Citizen Science Association include 4000 (free) members, The European Citizen Science Association 180 (paid) – and that is in the first 2 years since they’ve established.
In the talk, I explore the way in which interdisciplinary projects and fields work, highlight the similarities and differences, and suggest the issues that have led to the outcomes that we see today
Slides from my talk in the European Citizen Science Conference in Berlin, May 2016. The talk look at issues of participation, citizen science and open science, and a bit about implications. It's about participation inequality and educational attainment of participants

Abstract
Public engagement in research, called citizen science, has led to advances
in a range of fields like astronomy, ornithology, and public health. While
volunteers have been making and sharing observations according to pro-
tocols set by researchers in numerous disciplines, citizen science practices
are less common in the field of animal behavior. We consider how citizen
science might be used to address animal behavior questions at Tinbergen’s
four levels of analysis. We briefly review resources and methods for
addressing technical issues surrounding volunteer participation—such as
data quality—so that citizen science can make long-standing contributions
to the field of animal behavior.
Introduction
‘Citizen science’ describes the various ways that mem-
bers of the public participate in genuine scientific
research (Cooper et al. 2007a; Silvertown 2009; Shirk
et al. 2012). Many citizen science projects arise from
communities with specific concerns (such as long-
term environmental monitoring), and some are
initiated by scientists to address specific research
objectives. Other projects have additional goals to
increase science literacy (Bonney et al. 2009a).
Research via public engagement is possible because
people enjoy making natural history observations and
sharing these observations with professionals and
peers. In addition, Web 2.0 and mobile technologies
facilitate mass participation. Consequently, citizen
science projects have arisen in a myriad of disciplines,
including ecology, phenology, macroecology, public
health, natural resource management, hydrology,
urban planning, meteorology, math, volcanology, and
various taxon-specific fields such as entomology,
ornithology, and herpetology. In recent years, citizen
science has enabled substantial contributions to the
fields of astronomy (Lintott et al. 2008), medicine
(Khatib et al. 2011a,b), and climate change (Morisette
et al. 2009).
Currently, the field of animal behavior is under-
represented among citizen science projects. Animal
behavior research integrates diverse methodological
approaches to investigate a wide array of scientific
questions about the behavior of wild and domesti-
cated animals in natural and captive settings. Public

Setting, running and evaluating - In this session, we will provide a brief overview of the types of citizen science that are relevant in addressing environmental challenges. We will look at classifications of citizen science projects, explore their potential goals, the process of recruitment and retention as well as the need to start project evaluation from an early stage. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a short exercise to consider how these elements can be used in the design of a citizen science project.

Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)

Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.

MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .
Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
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.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
