Sherborn: Pyle - Towards a Global Names Architecture: The future of indexing...ICZN
This document discusses the need for a global names architecture to standardize the indexing of scientific names across biological databases and collections. It notes the large number of described species and names in databases that are increasing each decade. However, many gaps still remain. The document advocates taking inspiration from Charles Davies Sherborn's work in standardizing nomenclature references to help future researchers more efficiently find and access information on species names.

As a list of zoological taxonomic names used in the scientific literature, the Index to Organism Names (ION) has provided a reference service to researchers for a number of years, based on the content of international publications analysed for inclusion in Zoological Record®. However, this content is limited to names included in Zoological Record (1864-present). This project extends the names database and brings new opportunities through collaboration between the Smithsonian Institute, Thomson Reuters, and the Biodiversity Heritage Library to provide a more complete resource to compliment other taxonomic names services.

The document discusses limitations of several medical studies and the importance of critically evaluating press releases and media coverage of new research. It provides examples of limitations that should be acknowledged, such as small sample sizes, lack of blinding, potential for bias, and lack of generalizability. The document advocates getting the full text of studies, asking authors questions to understand limitations and implications, considering alternative explanations, and finding perspectives from outside experts rather than just study authors. Reporters are advised to look at relevance, costs, existing alternatives, and other angles beyond initial claims in order to provide accurate context and avoid overstating findings.

Sherborn: McOuat - Naming and Necessity: Sherborn’s Context in the late 19th ...ICZN
By the late 19th Century, storms plaguing early Victorian systematics and nomenclature seemed to have abated. Vociferous disputes over radical renaming, the world shaking clash of all-encompassing procrustean systems, struggles over centres of authority, and the issues of language and meaning had now been settled by the institution of a stable imperial museum and its catalogues, a set of rules for the naming of zoological objects, and a new professional class of zoologists. Yet, for all that tranquillity, the disputes simmered below the surface, re-emerging as bitter struggles over synonyms, trinomials, the subspecies category, the looming issues of the philosophy of scientific language, and the aggressive new American style of field biology – all pressed in upon the received practice of naming and classifying organisms and the threat of anarchy. In the midst rose an index. This paper will explore the context of CD Sherborn’s Index Animalium and those looming problems and issues which a laborious and comprehensive “index of nature” was meant to solve.
These slides were presented during the Microinsurance Innovation Facility’s second webinar, co-organized with the Microinsurance Network, and held on July 13th, 2011. It focused on "New Frontiers in Microinsurance Distribution", their strengths and weaknesses, and areas that can be explored to make these channels work more effectively from the insurer and client perspective. This webinar follow a recent paper on alternative channels prepared by Cenfri (http://www.ilo.org/public/english/employment/mifacility/download/brnote7_en.pdf). Presenters were Brandon Mathews from the Zurich Financial Services, Anja Smith from Cenfri, and Pranav Prashad from the Facility, with Jasmin Suministrado of the Facility as moderator.

Come raccogliere i dati, classificarli ed inserirli in Openstreetmap; incontro con la Federazione Amici della Bicicletta di Genova tenuta il 5-5-2012 al Porto Antico.
Openstreetmap e Josm: veloce e preciso col semplifica percorsi
1. OPENSTREETMAP Mappiamo facilmente con Josm Velocizziamo l'editing ed otteniamo maggior precisione con gli strumenti 'Semplifica percorso' e 'Converti in livello dati' Data CC-By-SA by Openstreetmap (www.openstreetmap.org)
2. Scopo di queste slide è mostrare un metodo veloce e preciso per editare tracce GPX con Josm. Col ricalco della traccia impiego molto tempo (solitamente mappo lunghi sentieri) e introduco comunque un errore di approssimazione; con questo metodo riesco spesso ad ottenere maggior precisione oltre a diminuire sensibilmente il tempo dedicato alla tracciatura del percorso.
3. Durante la mappatura del percorso col GPS mantengo una registrazione fitta, un punto ogni 8 m, o a volte un punto al secondo, ottengo perciò una traccia molto fitta. Per semplificare la traccia possiamo usare lo strumento 'Semplifica percorso' presente nei comandi di Josm; vi raccomando sempre di confrontare la traccia originale con quella semplificata verificando che non ci siano scostamenti significativi tra le due; potete confrontarle caricando nuovamente la traccia GPX che si sovraporrà a quella semplificata.
4. Apriamo Josm, carichiamo prima la zona che vogliamo editare e poi la traccia GPX e non viceversa: così avremo 2 layer (strati) distinti. Selezioniamo la traccia GPX dalla finestra 'Livelli', clicchiamo il tasto destro del mouse e selezioniamo 'Converti in livello dati'; otterremo un secondo livello che per ora sarà distinto dal livello dati principale (la zona che abbiamo precedentemente scaricato dal server).
7. Zoomiamo la traccia caricata, clicchiamo col mouse su un suo segmento (non un punto ma un segmento , in questo modo selezioneremo l'intero percorso) selezionandola (diventa di colore giallo) e dal menù 'Strumenti' diamo il comando 'Semplifica percorso'.
8. Ora dobbiamo verificare che la semplificazione non abbia semplificato troppo rispetto al percorso originario. Nascondiamo il livello dati (lo selezioniamo dalla finestra 'Livelli' e ne commutiamo la visibilità).
10. Apriamo nuovamente la traccia GPX (dal menù 'file' 'Apri'); vedremo in sovrapposizione le 2 tracce: l'originale e la modificata; ispezioniamo il percorso zoomando ad un livello di 10-20m e scorriamo l'intero percorso per controllare che non ci siano scostamenti eccessivi causati da un'eccessiva riduzione dei punti del percorso.
11. E' possibile modificare le impostazioni per scegliere il massimo errore desiderato, normalmente (impostazione di default) il valore dello scostamento massimo è di 3m. Spesso è considerata un'approssimazione eccessiva e si impostano valori tra 0.6 e 2 Nelle ultime slide vedremo come modificare questo parametro.
12. Passiamo alla 'pulizia' della traccia: percorrendo il sentiero ho intersecato più la volte una strada che avevo già mappato in passato, inoltre in qualche curva ho percorso un pezzo di strada come verifica della buona ricezione del GPS (particolari condizioni meteo possono influenzare la propagazione delle onde nella ionosfera introducendo errori sino a 10-15m). Taglio e cancello i pezzi di percorso che si sovrappongono all'esistente.
13. Seleziono il primo punto da tagliare e dal Menù 'Strumenti' clicco su 'dividi percorso' Ripeto l'azione per il secondo punto, poi seleziono il segmento da tagliare e lo cancello col tasto 'Canc' della tastiera.
15. Ora che abbiamo ripulito la traccia possiamo fonderla (unirla) col resto della mappa Ci viene chiesto con quale livello unirla, selezioniamo Livello1
16. Non ci resta che connettere il sentiero alla strada e completare l'editing.
20. Nel campo in alto inserire: simplify-way.max-error Nel campo sotto inserire il valore in metri del scostamento massimo accettato, nell'esempio ho inserito 1.5 (col punto, non con la virgola) per indicare massimo 1.5 metri.
21. Se in futuro vorrete modificare questo valore Tornate nel menù, cliccate sul vecchio valore, poi sul tasto modifica: si apre una finestra dove inserirete il valore desiderato.
22. Se c'è qualche punto del sentiero con troppo scostamento, al momento dell'editing possiamo sempre correggerlo. Sembra un processo lungo e complicato ma si fa prima a farlo che a spiegarlo.
