No full textWhat do we know about software analytics research? : A critical review of secondary studies
No full textSoftware analytics (SA) is often proposed as a tool to support software engineering (SE) tasks. Several secondary studies on SA have been published, some published within the same calendar year. This presents an opportunity to take a meta-perspective and examine how the field of SA has been conceptualized and synthesized so far. By analyzing how SA is defined, which topics are emphasized, what search strategies are employed, and to what extent primary studies overlap, we aim to identify gaps, trends, and redundancies in the current body of secondary studies. Such insights can inform the design and focus of future secondary studies. We identified five secondary studies on SA published from 2015 to 2023 that cover primary research from 2000 to 2021. Despite similarities in objectives and overlapping search timeframes, the secondary studies have negligible overlap in their included primary studies. Each secondary study presents a distinct perspective, and collectively, the five secondary studies offer a fragmented rather than cohesive view of the research landscape. We present a structured overview of the identified secondary studies in terms of their objectives, research quality, and findings. This overview helps readers navigate and leverage existing research. The analysis also indicates that there is potential for further secondary research to build a more cohesive and comprehensive understanding of the SA literature
Epistemic justice in urban living labs : a framework for analysis applied to transport planning
No full textThis article explores the potential for just knowledge production in Urban Living Labs (ULLs) by foregrounding epistemic justice. Drawing on autoethnographic and ethnographic methods, it examines how testimonial and hermeneutical injustices shape the formation, implementation, and dissemination phases of EU-funded, research-led ULLs. Findings show that funding structures, academic framings, and dissemination formats constrain the inclusion and recognition of diverse voices, particularly those of citizens. Despite researchers’ efforts to manage power asymmetries, broader societal hierarchies and institutional path dependencies are often reproduced. The study identifies three interrelated strategies researchers use to navigate these challenges: they manage path dependencies, negotiate expectations, and curate knowledge production. These reflect the ethical dilemmas researchers face when balancing co-creation ideals with institutional demands. Conceptualizing ULLs as deliberative spaces highlights their vulnerability to epistemic injustice and illustrate how questions of mandate, power, and responsibility remain under-theorized, calling for a more reflexive and structured approach to ethical practice in ULLs. By foregrounding epistemic justice, this study contributes to critical debates on knowledge production in the new experimental governance spaces that are currently developing in the intersection between planning and innovation contexts, and offers insights for both research and for EU programmes aiming to foster inclusive urban transitions

No full textFiltration and pedal-feeding contribution to the biomass of the freshwater bivalve Diplodon parallelopipedon : evidence from stable isotopes analysis
No full textBivalves are considered mainly filter-feeding organisms; they remove suspended particles including phytoplankton, zooplankton, and bacteria from the water column. Moreover, some bivalves can also feed via pedal-feeding, which is the uptake of organic matter from the sediment using cilia on the foot. Diplodon parallelopipedon is a native bivalve from South America, which can obtain their food by both feeding mechanisms. This work aimed to determine the relative importance of two food sources on D. parallelopipedon biomass: organic matter from the sediment and seston of the water column. Stable isotope analysis (δ13C/δ15N) was performed on two locations with lower/higher organic matter content. We used Bayesian mixing models to determine the relative contribution of the two food sources to the biomass of D. parallelopipedon in each location. We used isotopic values of a filter-feeding bivalve Limnoperna fortunei as an integral signal of seston. For pedal-feeding, we used isotopic values of Campsurus violaceous. Both signals reflect isotopic variability at a larger temporal scale. Our results suggest that the biomass of D. parallelopipedon derives largely from the organic matter of sediments
Urban air pollution disrupts placental microarchitecture and shifts hofbauer cells towards a pro-inflammatory state
No full textExposure to urban air pollution during early pregnancy is associated with increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as preeclampsia (PE), and there is an urgent need to understand how air pollution affects biological mechanisms in the placenta. Hofbauer cells (HBCs) are fetal placental macrophages that regulate immune tolerance in the placenta. They are normally polarized towards an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype but display a more pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype in PE. The ex vivo dual placental perfusion approach uses full term human placentas to study physiological aspects of the placenta. In this study, effects of urban traffic-derived particles of size <2.5 µm (PM2.5) on placental tissue and HBC polarization was deciphered. To study changes in placental microarchitecture and cell morphology, transmission electron microscopy was applied. In addition, changes in cell surface markers on HBCs were determined by immunohistochemistry. Exposure to PM2.5 caused disrupted collagen structures and affected cell organelles in multiple cell types inside placental villi. The resident HBC marker CD163 was not affected by PM2.5 exposure, while CD206 was reduced by 60 % and CD209 remained unchanged, indicating altered M2 polarization. Additionally, the expression of pro-inflammatory M1 markers CD40 (p = 0.02) and CD80 (p = 0.03) in HBCs increased due to urban PM2.5 exposure. Urban PM2.5 showed detrimental effects on the placenta by disrupting tissue morphology and affecting HBC polarization specifically. These results extend the currently accepted view on properties of HBCs, by demonstrating their ability to react plastically and specifically to different exogenous stimuli
