This document discusses several ethical considerations for research involving human participants. It raises questions about informed consent, costs and benefits to participants, and privacy. The key principles are that participants must provide informed consent, having been told the purpose and procedures of the research, their right to not participate or withdraw, and potential benefits. Researchers must consider external codes and laws, risks to participants, and the consequences of the research for individuals and society. The Seedhouse Ethical Grid is presented as a tool to help structure ethical analysis in research.
Hajer Chalghoumi earned the Innovators of Tomorrow Certificate on August 24, 2016 after successfully completing all requirements. The certificate recognizes her participation and contributions to the AGE-WELL Network. It was signed by Dr. Alex Mihailidis and Dr. Andrew Sixsmith, the Scientific Directors of the network.
This document summarizes Dr. Emily Pringle's work rethinking research practices in art museums. Through case studies and interviews at various institutions, she identified that current research practices can be confusing, exclusionary, and exhausting for practitioners. She argues that museums should broaden their understanding of research by addressing hierarchies around knowledge, recognizing all staff as practitioner researchers, and involving diverse audiences. Museums need leadership committed to research, supportive environments for reflection and learning, and systems that encourage knowledge sharing. Her goal is for museums to adopt expanded frameworks where research is valued across the organization and generates impactful, widely shared knowledge.
This document discusses the principles and methodology of designing research for positive change. It begins by contrasting the received view of science with relational research. Designing research focuses on co-creation, is human-centered, and aims to generate actionable knowledge through an emergent and participatory process. It embraces complexity and brings a sense of connection. The document outlines a case study in Uganda where youth used participatory methods like photovoice and storytelling to understand their concerns and dreams, and to empower themselves. It concludes by outlining the stages of a designing research process from preparing the partnership, to data collection and analysis, to knowledge generation and transformations.
This document discusses skills of research methodology. It defines research as a systematic investigation that involves collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. Research can help solve problems, answer questions, and achieve objectives. The structure of research includes sections for the title, introduction, problem/objectives, data collection and analysis, discussion and findings, conclusion, and references. The introduction should include the research problem, contributions, and settings. Some suggested research topics are also provided such as education in Oman, communication, health care, employment, driving practices, population, and global warming. The document is authored by Dr. Abdulghani Al-Shuaibi.

Don't Panic! How to perform an accessibility evaluation with limited resourcesMichael Ryan
Being tasked with an accessibility evaluation is can be daunting. How can you measure accessibility? What disabilities are the most important? What tools do you need? How long will it take? Where do I start? What does "accessible" even mean?
These are all questions I asked myself last year when I performed my first accessibility eval. This session will share everything I learned since then in performing three accessibility evaluations.

Smart contracts enabled by blockchain technology can automate and improve contract enforcement by:
1) Making agreements machine-readable and executable so they can be carried out autonomously without disputes.
2) Significantly reducing inefficiencies, costs, and errors compared to traditional paper-based legal systems that rely on lawyers and institutions.
3) Allowing novel new types of micro-agreements and low-cost proofs of things like identity, ownership, and provenance by removing traditional barriers.

Standards in health informatics - problem, clinical models and terminologySilje Ljosland Bakke
- Clinical information must be structured using shared and standardized clinical models and terminologies to enable semantic interoperability, longitudinal record access, and clinical decision support. However, structuring health information is complex due to the diversity and dynamic nature of clinical data.
- openEHR provides a free and open specification for structured health records, separating the reference model from archetypes and templates to define clinical content in a reusable way. National governance is needed to develop, review, and publish archetypes.
- Information models and terminologies are complementary - models define data structure while terminologies provide controlled vocabularies, but neither is sufficient alone due to contextual needs and complex concepts. Pragmatic choices must be made based on use case

Dr Patrick Treacy on devices for dealing with post-pregnancy baby weightDr. Patrick J. Treacy
Pregnancy leads to many changes in a woman’s
body, mainly through the interaction of steroid
hormones, lactogen and cortisol on the underlying
tissues and structures. The growing foetus itself
causes mechanical change also by stretching
skin, muscle and fascia and demanding an increased
calorific supply. The amount of extra weight gained
during pregnancy varies among women.
Natural resin association with incense and propolis in zootechnologyBee Healthy Farms
Incense and propolis have common origins and composition. Though their content may differ - terpenes are prevalent in incense; flavanoids, aromatic acids and esters in propolis - their use for the treatment of human and animal diseases has been well-known since the earliest times.
On the basis of this preliminary data, we conclude that propolis and incense can be employed in zootechnology, to sanitise the closed environments of breeding farms.

Cassandra Summit 2015: Real World DTCS For OperatorsJeff Jirsa
Real World DTCS For Operators
The introduction of DateTieredCompactionStrategy in late 2014 was a significant step forward in providing a viable compaction strategy for time series data, especially time series data that will be TTL'd out. DateTieredCompactionStrategy's introduction was met with genuine excitement, and its rapid adoption is testament to developers' and operators' desire to have data compacted in a way that better matches their write patterns.
However, DateTieredCompactionStrategy's features come with significant limitations. This talk will review our real world benchmarking and use cases for DTCS as a vehicle to discuss the implications of DateTieredCompactionStrategy on operational tasks such as repair, read-repair, bootstrapping, and especially DR recovery scenarios, and it will also discuss how those various limitations lead us to proposing an operations-friendly alternative to DateTieredCompactionStrategy.
The document provides an overview of the Brazilian population in Boston, Massachusetts. It notes that Brazilians began migrating to Boston in large numbers in the 1990s, peaking before the 2008 recession. Currently, there are approximately 2,900 foreign-born Brazilians living in Boston, mostly concentrated in East Boston, Brighton, West Roxbury, and Dorchester. The document analyzes demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of Boston's Brazilian population such as age, gender, education levels, occupations, and income. It finds that while they have lower educational attainment than native-born residents, Brazilians in Boston have achieved a relatively high standard of living.

Java Deserialization Vulnerabilities - The Forgotten Bug Class (RuhrSec Edition)CODE WHITE GmbH
This document discusses Java deserialization vulnerabilities and provides an overview of how they work. It notes that many Java technologies rely on serialization which can enable remote code execution if not implemented securely. The document outlines the history of vulnerabilities found, how to find vulnerabilities, and techniques for exploiting them, using examples like the Javassist/Weld gadget. It also summarizes vulnerabilities the speaker's company Code White found, including in products from Symantec, Atlassian, Commvault, and Oracle.
This document presents a thesis on developing a new concept of temporality that is adequate for understanding the future. It discusses different theories of time, including Bergson's duration and Husserl's retention-protention model of internal time consciousness. It proposes adding a "middle third" term called "x-tention" to represent time as simultaneously discrete and continuous. The document also examines the concept of "blocktime" created by blockchain technology and smart contracts, which allows time to be specified and assigned to future events. Finally, it conjectures that new paradigms like blocktime could "make more time" by accessing alternative time trajectories, with implications for posthuman futures involving human-machine collaboration.

Early Career Scientist Panel at the International Council for Science (ICSU) ...Kim Nicholas
Six early-career scientists were invited to participate in a panel at the International Council for Science (ICSU) General Assembly in Auckland, New Zealand on September 3, 2014.
ICSU is a non-governmental organization with the mission to "strengthen international science for the benefit of society" through promoting international research collaboration, science for policy, and making science more open, equitable, and ethical throughout the world. Its members consist of over 120 national scientific academies of distinguished scholars elected to provide scientific advice and service to their countries (including the National Academy of Sciences in the US, and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, who award most of the Nobel Prizes). Other members include international scientific unions, which focus on promoting scientific subject areas (like the International Union of Biological Sciences). More info: http://www.icsu.org/
The panelists focused on three priorities for early-career scientists (integrating early career scientists in leadership, providing career support through networks and mentoring, and opportunities and incentives for science for society).
At the end of the session, a decision was proposed by UK Delegate and early career panelist Yvonne Gruender, which was unanimously approved by the voting members of ICSU.
Please note that these slides were slightly modified after presentation (addition of slides 1 & 5, and title to slide 2) to facilitate standalone understanding.
Full panel notes will be posted on http://www.kimnicholas.com/

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
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.
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.
