This university lecture at Carleton University shares various evaluation research designs that can be used with community based organizations, especially when a comparison group cannot be identified (i.e. implicit designs and regression discontinuity)
Has the outcome of an experiment ever gone so strongly against your intuition that you doubt its correct implementation? This is certainly a possibility, as correctly implementing an online experiment is fraught with data quality challenges. There is a considerable amount of engineering and processing of data before it reaches the analysis, leaving plenty of room for bugs and biases to creep in. One of the strongest signals of an incorrect implementation is a sample ratio mismatch (SRM) - when the number of users assigned to each variation differs significantly from what is expected under the intended random allocation.
This talk will:
- Demo a novel SRM test which allows experimentation teams to rapidly detect if there is a bug in the implementation, even while the experiment is running, allowing developers to quickly fix the underlying issue.
- Provide an introduction to both the mathematics of the SRM test as well as the newly open sourced library which developers can immediately integrate into their platform.
PRIORITIZING THE BANKING SERVICE QUALITY OF DIFFERENT BRANCHES USING FACTOR A...ijmvsc
In recent years, India’s service industry is developing rapidly. The objective of the study is to explore the
dimensions of customer perceived service quality in the context of the Indian banking industry. In order to
categorize the customer needs into quality dimensions, Factor analysis (FA) has been carried out on
customer responses obtained through questionnaire survey. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is employed
to determine the weights of the banking service quality dimensions. The priority structure of the quality
dimensions provides an idea for the Banking management to allocate the resources in an effective manner
to achieve more customer satisfaction. Technique for Order Preference Similarity to Ideal Solution
(TOPSIS) is used to obtain final ranking of different branches.

Publishing conference proceedings internationally: how does it workAliaksandr Birukou
In this presentation we look into main elements one has to consider when organizing an international conference. First, we describe the role of conference proceedings in CS and beyond. Second, we focus on the tasks of conference organizers. Third, we cover the peer review aspects and announce the new group CrossRef and DataCite start with this respect. We then cover indexing and dissemination as well as present several tips and guidelines for organizers of international conferences as well as the word of warning regarding predatory publishers.
В этой презентации мы рассмотрим основные элементы, которые необходимо учитывать при организации международной конференции. Во-первых, мы описываем роль материалов конференций в компьютерных науках и других областях. Во-вторых, мы концентрируемся на задачах организаторов конференции. В-третьих, мы рассмотрим аспекты рецензирования и расскажем о работе группы CrossRef и DataCite. Затем мы расскажем об индексировании и распространении, а также представим несколько советов и рекомендаций для организаторов международных конференций, а также предостережём о феномене хищнических издателей и конференций.
Технические аспекты публикации на нескольких языках – как правильно связать DOIAliaksandr Birukou
Доклад призван оспорить утверждение "объединить же ссылки на версии одной и той же статьи в журналах разных издательств не представляется возможным (DOI пока эту задачу не решает)".
Мы рассмотрим проблему публикации на нескольких языках. После рассмотрения этических аспектов (исключение дублирования публикаций, проверки заимствований на разных языках Диссернетом) и влияния многоязычных публикаций на наукометрические показатели, мы перейдем к существующим примерам. Текущие практики включают в себя а) использование одного DOI одним издателем, б) использование разных DOI одним издателем, в) использование разных DOI разными издателями (в журналах РАН и в независимых журналах). Мы рассмотрим существующие решения для связи публикаций на нескольких языках, такие как Math-Net.Ru и проанализируем плюсы и минусы различных решений.
После этого, мы предложим решение связывания DOI различных версий статьи с помощью нового механизма Crossref и рассмотрим как этот механизм используется международными и российскими журналами. Мы надеемся, массовый переход журналов на использование этого механизма не только исключит этические проблемы, но и поможет международным наукометрическим базам организовать правильный подсчет цитат.
Conference Identity: persistent identifiers for conferencesAliaksandr Birukou
Conferences are an essential part of scholarly communication. However, like researchers and organizations they suffer from the disambiguation problem, when the same acronym or the conference name refers to very different conferences. In 2017, Crossref and DataCite started a working group on conference and project identifiers. The group includes various publishers, A&I service providers, and other interested stakeholders. The group participants have drafted the metadata specification and gathered the feedback from the community.
In this talk, we would like to update the VIVO participants with where we stand with the PIDs for conferences, conference series and Crossmark for proceedings and are inviting the broader community to comment.

Publishing conference proceedings internationally: Tips and tricksAliaksandr Birukou
In this presentation we look into main elements one has to consider when organizing an international conference. First, we describe the role of conference proceedings in CS and beyond. Second, we focus on the tasks of conference organizers. Third, we cover the peer review aspects and announce the new group CrossRef and DataCite start with this respect. We then cover indexing and dissemination, including Springer Nature Linked Open Data portal, http://lod.springer.com. We finalize the presentation with several tips and guidelines for organizers of international conferences as well as the word of warning regarding predatory publishers.
Linked Open Data about Springer Nature conferences. The story so farAliaksandr Birukou
Despite many efforts for making data about scholarly publications available on the Web of Data, lots of information about academic conferences is still contained in (at best) free-text format. When available in a structured format, these data would provide an essential input for the decisions researchers, libraries, publishers, funding and evaluation bodies take every day.
This talk will describe the project about having such data available as Linked Open Data (LOD) at lod.springer.com for around 10,000 computer science conferences. In addition, we will have a closer look at the lessons learnt from launching this portal and cover other Linked Data projects in Springer Nature. Finally, a novel semi-automated approach for classifying conference proceedings in Springer Nature will also be presented.
Creating a dataset of peer review in computer science conferences published b...Aliaksandr Birukou
Computer science (CS) as a field is characterised by higher publication numbers and prestige of conference proceedings as opposed to scholarly journal articles. In this presentation we present preliminary results of the extraction and analysis of peer review information from computer science conferences published by Springer in almost 10,000 proceedings volumes. The results will be uploaded to lod.springer.com, with the purpose of creation of the largest dataset of peer review processes in CS conferences.
This presentation describes linked open data pilot run in Springer. During the pilot the data about conferences in computer science will be made publicly available as Linked Open Data (LOD)
An Integrated Solution for Runtime Compliance Governance in SOAAliaksandr Birukou
In response to recent financial scandals (e.g. those involving Enron, Fortis, Parmalat), new regulations for protecting the society from financial and operational risks of the companies have been introduced. Therefore, companies are required to assure compliance of their operations with those new regulations as well as those already in place. Regulations are only one example of compliance sources modern organizations deal with every day. Other sources of compliance include licenses of business partners and other contracts, internal policies, and international standards. The diversity of compliance sources introduces the problem of compliance governance in an organization. In this paper, we propose an integrated solution for runtime compliance governance in Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs). We show how the proposed solution supports the whole cycle of compliance management: from modeling compliance requirements in domain-specific languages through monitoring them during process execution to displaying information about the current state of compliance in dashboards. We focus on the runtime part of the proposed solution and describe it in detail. We apply the developed framework in a real case study coming from EU FP7 project COMPAS, and this case study is used through the paper to illustrate our solution.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Notice that if we restricted the world to the top N papers and accepted only 30% of them, or 20% of them, we would have essentially a random process. The bottom right suggests that it is not true that for weaker papers we can have a clear decision We were not looking for this results Acceptance rate is over-rated
Randomness in review Due to many reasons: subjective reviews limited size of the sample for a given reviewer absolute subjective marking vs. relative ranking
