Semantically annotated hypermedia services
Get PDFHypermedia systems’ researchers investigate the various approaches in the way documents and resources are linked, navigated and stored in a distributed environment. Unfortunately, those systems fail to provide effortlessly usable discrete services, since it is difficult both to discover and to invoke any of them. This paper proposes the usage of emerging technologies that try to augment the Web resources with semantics in order to provide Hypermedia services that can be easily discovered, and integrated by potential third party developers. In this context, we analyze the benefits for the Hypermedia community upon the adoption of Semantic Web technologies for the description of Hypermedia services, and we implement an initial corresponding ontology
Author self-citation in orthodontics is associated with author origin and gender.
Get PDFBACKGROUND
The aims of this bibliometric study were to determine author self-citation trends in high-impact orthodontic literature and to investigate possible association between self-citation and publication characteristics.
METHODS
Six orthodontic journals with the highest impact factor as ranked by 2017 Journal Citation Reports were screened for a full publication year (2018) for original research articles, reviews, and case reports. Eligible articles were scrutinized for article and author characteristics and citation metrics. Univariable and multivariable negative binomial regression was used to examine associations between self-citation incidence and publication characteristics.
RESULTS
Medians for author self-citation rate of the most self-citing authors and self-citations were 3.03% (range 0-50) and 1 (range 0-19), respectively. In the univariable analysis, there was no association between self-citation counts and study type (P = 0.41), article topic (P = 0.61), number of authors (P = 0.62), and rank of authors (P = 0.56). Author origin (P = 0.001), gender (P = 0.001) and journal (P = 0.05) were associated with self-citation counts and in the multivariable analysis only origin and gender remained strong self-citation predictors. Asian authors and females self-cited significantly less often than all other regions and male authors.
CONCLUSIONS
Authors in orthodontics do not self-cite at a frequency that suggests potential citation manipulation. Author origin and gender were the only variables associated with citations counts. More bibliometric research is necessary to draw solid conclusions about author self-citation trends in orthodontic literature
Imperfección luminosa
No full textTreballs Finals de Grau de Belles Arts. Facultat de Belles Arts. Universitat de Barcelona, Curs: 2024-25, Tutor: Pandis Gallo, Gloria[esp] Este proyecto aborda la discriminación que sufren las personas que no se ajustan a las normas
sociales establecidas, proponiendo una revalorización de las imperfecciones físicas,
emocionales y sociales. Inspirado en la filosofía japonesa del kintsugi y la estética del wabisabi,
ofrece una nueva mirada donde la diferencia no se percibe como defecto, sino como una parte
valiosa de la identidad.
A través de un cuento ilustrado titulado Imperfección luminosa, se narra la historia de una joven
marginada por su comunidad a raíz de una cicatriz, y su proceso de transformación interior al
encontrar una sociedad que celebra lo que antes se ocultaba. El relato y sus ilustraciones,
realizadas en tinta china sobre papel y maquetadas digitalmente. El estilo visual toma como
referente a Natalia Lopusova-Tomskaya, Aubrey Beardsley y Gao Xingjian,
Desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria que une arte, filosofía y psicología, se abordan temas
como el estigma, la resiliencia y la construcción de la identidad. El proyecto también incorpora
elementos inclusivos, como la elección de una tipografía legible para personas con dificultades
visuales. Esta obra invita a cuestionar la normalidad impuesta y a descubrir la belleza en lo que
antes fue señalado como error.This project addresses the discrimination faced by people who do not conform to established
social norms, proposing a revaluation of physical, emotional, and social imperfections. Inspired
by the Japanese philosophy of kintsugi and the aesthetic of wabi-sabi, it offers a new
perspective where difference is not seen as a flaw, but as a valuable part of identity.
Through an illustrated story titled Luminous Imperfection, it narrates the story of a young
woman marginalized by her community due to a scar, and her inner transformation upon finding
a society that celebrates what was once hidden. The story and its illustrations, made with
Chinese ink on paper and digitally formatted, visually support the narrative. The visual style
takes as reference Natalia Lopusova-Tomskaya, Aubrey Beardsley, and Gao Xingjian.
[eng] From an interdisciplinary perspective that brings together art, philosophy, and psychology,
themes such as stigma, resilience, and identity construction are addressed. The project also
incorporates inclusive elements, such as the choice of a legible typeface for people with visual
impairments. This work invites reflection on how imposed ideas of normality can marginalize,
and how accepting imperfections can reveal the beauty in what was once labeled as error
The role of NH3 and DMA in new particle formation from ambient measurements, bias exchange metadynamics and reactive MD simulations
No full textAmmonia (NH3) and organic amines (dimethyl amine, DMA) play an important role in the heteromolecular nucleation of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and water. Nucleation rates depend on their concentrations. Extremely low amine concentrations can increase nucleation rates drastically, giving a significant contribution to the uncertainty related to the aerosol indirect effect. We investigate the differences between the nucleation mechanism with NH3 and DMA using a novel multiscale approach combining bias exchange metadynamics to determine kinetic basins of the nucleation process and reactive MD to analyse them. Results show stepwise formation mechanism and higher affinity of H2SO4 to DMA than to NH3.LAP
