Digital Scholarship Seminar: Implications of Data for the 21st-century HumanistRebecca Davis
As increasing amounts of humanities data comes online, scholars face new challenges in adapting traditional research, dissemination, and teaching practices. Without pretending to have all the answers, this presentation will address a constellation of related questions:
What do humanists gain from using new techniques for quick charting or mapping of their data?
How can we lower the technological barrier?
Does this compromise the deep analysis so valued in the humanities?
How is data in the humanities changing the relationship between researchers and archivists, as well as the nature of scholarly collaboration?
How does our evaluation of historical scholarship need to change? How much do algorithms and data literacy need to be a part of humanities courses?
What happens when we can’t understand where our data is coming from or what our digital tools are doing?
Fred Gibbs is an Assistant Professor of History at George Mason University and Director of Digital Scholarship at the Center for History and New Media.
This Digital Scholarship seminar will be facilitated by Kathryn Tomasek, Associate Professor of History at Wheaton College (MA) and will take place online in NITLE’s Virtual Auditorium. For more information, see our instructions on Participating in Online Events.

When resources collide: Towards a theory of coincidence in information spaces...Markus Luczak-Rösch
We work on a theory to facilitate data analysis for discovery of meaningful collective information sharing patterns in very large data streams. By focusing only on coincidence of information occurrence, we can capture and analyse emergent collective action across system boundaries and independent from social network contexts.

Keynote talk at the Web Science Summer School, Singapore, 8 December 2014. Today we see the rise of Social Machines, like Twitter, Wikipedia and Galaxy Zoo—where communities identify and solve their own problems, harnessing commitment, local knowledge and embedded skills, without having to rely on experts or governments.
The Social Machines paradigm provides a lens onto the interacting sociotechnical systems of our hybrid digital-physical world, citizen-centric and at scale—emphasising empowerment and sociality in a world of pervasive technology adoption and automation.
This talk will present the Social Machines paradigm as an approach to social media analytics and a rethinking of our scholarly practices and knowledge infrastructure.
Zooniverse is a multi-project platform for online citizen science projects, a well-regarded way of solving tasks by support of a large group of human participants, which are too complex for today's purely computational systems. But citizen science is not a game. A number of serendipitous citizen-led discoveries led to scientific insight the projects never planned to achieve. Source for these discoveries were discussion forums, which were used by the participants in an autonomous fashion to discuss 'interesting things' beyond the pure crowdsourcing workflow. This presentation is about the results of a broad study of the community and content dynamics on the Zooniverse platform, the first study of that kind, focusing multiple projects and the emergent cross-project effects.

All Hands on Deck - Getting Visitors Involved in the Work of the Museum (AAM ...sloverlinett
It’s the age of participatory engagement, and the crowd is making vital contributions in areas where only experts used to tread. How can museums harness their visitors’ collective skills and intelligence, not just to make exhibits and programs more engaging but also to help carry out the museum’s scientific, historical, aesthetic, or environmental work? In this panel, we looked at how three science-themed institutions are approaching this new frontier and what the future holds in three state-of-the-art facilities now on the drawing boards: a new learning space at the National Museum of Natural History; a redesigned visitor center at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida; and the new Nature Research Center at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. In the q&a, we debated the whys and hows of bringing citizen science inside the museum and inviting visitors to lend their hands, eyes, and minds to the cause.

Context-free data analysis with Transcendental Information Cascades.Markus Luczak-Rösch
In order to discover hidden relationships and patterns in data streams from multiple heterogenous sources, we work on a method for exploratory data analysis. We disregard any system-specific context to generate generic networks of information co-occurrence. These networks allow for more informed sampling and filtering. Case specific context can be added once these networks have been created to support accurate decision making.

loomp is an RDFa editor and a content model, which degenerates a conventional document into atomic parts that represent the smallest entities an author wants to delimit (paragraphs, sentences, words,...). In the end a document consists of a mashup of several semantically annotated elements (by now only text elements). Elements can appear in multiple documents. The whole content network is stored as an RDF graph in a triple store. Thus loomp creates one content network that consists of documents which are interlinked because of the elements they share and a second content network which is based on annotations that are shared by elements or documents. The RDF graph may also be served separately via a Linked Data endpoint.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

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.

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.
