Magic Squares: A children’s puzzle meets quantum physics
No full textA magic square is a grid of numbers where every column and row sum up to the same number. We explain the “quantum jump” for magic squares, generalizing them to the mathematical framework of quantum physics to interpret quantum measurement. We investigate the properties of these newly established quantum magic squares and find that the quantum world is even more magic than we thought before
Workflow for an Improved FAIR Environmental Data Publication in EnviDat
Get PDFThe Swiss Federal Institute WSL strives to increasethe fraction of environmental data that is easily available forreuse. With the Environmental Data portal EnviDat, WSL facilitates the publication of FAIR (Findable, Accessible,Interoperable, Reusable) and high-quality environmental research datasets by providing: A) a formal data publication processfor the data producers, B) a technical workflow for improving data-quality with automatic validation, interactive quality checks,and iterative improvement of (meta-)data quality in support of the formal publication process and C) a DataCRediT mechanismfor declaration of data authorship roles
University of Lausanne’s Open Science Strategy and Action Plan
Get PDFDeveloped in 2019, University of Lausanne (UNIL)’s Open Science Strategy revolves around the free access to scientific publications (Open Access) and the opening of research data (Open research Data) in order to rise up to the challenge of disseminating knowledge. It aligns with several other recent institutional and cantonal policies and strategies. In order to implement it, UNIL has defined an action plan based on 5 priority areas: Governance; Organization; Infrastructures; Training and advice; New culture and communication. Each of these 5 axes is broken down into concrete measures to be carried out by different stakeholders. Completed and ongoing projects include: the creation of a new Open Science web portal; the elaboration of an UNIL Data Management Plan template with the tool DMPonline; the development of a new directive on Open Access and on Research data; the institutional repository for publications (SERVAL); the creation of a custom wizard for Open Access (Papago); the provision of an Open Access editing and publishing portal; the development of support and training for researchers
Data integration in systems genetics and aging research
Get PDFHuman life expectancy has dramatically improved over the course of the last century. Although this reflects a global improvement in sanitation and medical care, this also implies that more people suffer from diseases that typically manifest later in life, like Alzheimer and atherosclerosis. Increasing healthspan by delaying or reverting the development of these age-related diseases has therefore become an urgent challenge in biomedical research. Research in this field is complicated by the multi-factorial nature of age-related diseases. They are rooted in complex physiological mechanisms impacted by heritable, environment and life-style factors that can be unique to each individual. Although technological advances in high-throughput biomolecular assays have enabled researchers to investigate individual physiology at the molecular level, integrating information about its different components, and accounting for individual variations remains a challenge. We are using a large collection of “omics” and phenotype data derived from the BXD mouse genetic diversity panel to explore how good data management practices, as fostered by the FAIR principles, paired with an explainable artificial intelligence framework, can provide solutions to decipher the complex roots of age-related diseases. These developments will help to propose innovative approaches to extend healthspan in the aging global population
FAIR4Health: Improving Health Research in EU through FAIR Data
Get PDFThis paper presents an overview of the FAIR4Health European project (2019-2021) which aims at encouraging the reuse of research data generated by publicly funded research projects. The project is coordinated by the Virgen del Rocío University Hospital, Andalusian Health Service (SAS) and the consortium consists of 17 partners from 11 EU and non-EU countries. A technological platform and tools are being developed for data FAIRification and data mining tasks. To test the feasibility of the technological solutions on real data, two pathfinder case studies will be performed

"L\u27empire c\u27est nous": Les colons germanophones en Namibie, c. 1820-c. 1930
No full textThis article focuses on non-state actors among German-speaking settlers in Namibia and their relation to the colonial government of the German Empire (1884-1917). It also examines the connections between German-speakers in Namibia and in South Africa. The notion of « German-speakers » (and not « Germans ») is used to portray both the multiple and yet co-existing identifications, largely surpassing the strict framework of the nation-state (Russian-German, Swiss-German, Austrian, Reichsdeutsch, but also mixed between German-speakers and locals). Taking inspiration from the methodological approach of connected history, this article supports the idea that German-speakers constructed a German-speaking cultural empire which only partially corresponded to the official sovereignty of the German Empire. This perspective allows for an original view for conceptualizing a transnational history of empires.Cet article s’intéresse aux acteurs non étatiques parmi les colons germanophones en Namibie et à leur relation avec le gouvernement colonial de l’Empire allemand (1884-1917). Il interroge par ailleurs les connexions entre germanophones en Namibie et en Afrique du Sud. La notion de « germanophones » (et non d’« Allemands ») est privilégiée pour rendre compte aussi bien de la multiplicité que de la coexistence de leurs identifications, celles-ci ayant largement dépassé le cadre strict de l’État-nation (russo-allemandes, suisse-allemandes, autrichiennes, reichsdeutsch, mais aussi métisses entre germanophones et locaux). En s’inspirant de l’approche méthodologique de l’histoire connectée, cet article soutient l’idée que les germanophones ont construit un empire culturel qui correspondait seulement en partie à la souveraineté officielle de l’Empire allemand
