Facial hacking: the twisted logic of electro-facial choreography
No full textThis research addresses the development of a computational facial language that enables systematic exploration of the external controlled human face with the aim to identify fundamental electro-facial choreographic patterns. Rewiring the human face to an external digital control system, has sparked a radical new way of thinking about the human facial display. Radical, as facial movement is now rooted in digital instead of neural computation. The human face has become an extension of a digital control system inheriting its characteristics: i.e. temporal accuracy, consistency of execution and high programmability. How do we conceptualize the thinking about the human face as a digital computational display device? What are the implications of the “regime change” from neural to digital? The research addresses these issues within the contextual framework where it also originated, in the practice of hacking. It uses the results oriented methods and strategies of hacking to analyze, explore and contextualize the human facial display as a site for digital computational expression. The contributions of this work include the following. 1) External facial control transgresses the neural performance limitations and enables us to think about facial movement from a digital computational choreographic paradigm. 2) A facial language, the Language of Facial E-motion, that allows systematic computational exploration of possible facial movement patterns. Choreologic probing of dynamic face space has brought about unseen facial movement patterns and has uncovered a latent expressive potential of the facial hardware
Hacking Education in a Digital Age: teacher education, curriculum and literacies
No full textn this collection, the authors put forth different philosophical conceptions of "hacking education" in response to the educational, societal, and technological demands of the 21st century. Teacher Educators are encouraged to draw on the collection to rethink how "hacking education" can be understood simultaneously as a "praxis" informed by desires for malice, as well as a creative site for us to reconsider the possibilities and limitations of teaching and learning in a digital era.
How do we hack beyond the limits of circumscribed experiences, regulated subjective encounters with knowledge and the limits imposed by an ever constrained 21st century schooling system in the hopes of imagining better and more meaningful futures?
How do we foster ingenuity and learning as the end itself (and not learning as economic imperative) in a world where technology, in part, positions individuals as zombie-like and as an economic end in itself?
Can we "hack" education in such a way that helps to mitigate the black hat hacking that increasingly lays ruin to individual lives, government agencies, and places of work?
How can we, as educators, facilitate the curricular and pedagogical processes of reclaiming the term hacking so as to remember and remind ourselves that hacking's humble roots are ultimately pedagogical in its very essence?
As a collection of theoretical and pedagogical pieces, the chapters in the collection are of value to both scholars and practitioners who share the same passion and commitment to changing, challenging and reimagining the script that all too often constrains and prescribes particular visions of education. Those who seek to question the nature of teaching and learning and who seek to develop a richer theoretical vocabulary will benefit from the insightful and rich collection of essays presented in this collection. In this regard, the collection offers something for all who might wish to rethink the fundamental dynamics of education or, as Morpheus asks of Neo in The Matrix, bend the rules of conventional ways of knowing and being

A retrospective cohort study comparing a novel, spherical, resorbable particle against five established embolic agents for uterine fibroid embolisation
No full textAIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of a novel, resorbable, spherical embolic agent compared with other established agents, by studying percentage fibroid infarction (the best indicator of long-term symptom improvement) in patients undergoing uterine fibroid embolisation (UFE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective cohort study examined six different embolic agents used for fibroid embolisation, including a new gelatin-based, fully resorbable, spherical agent. The primary effectiveness outcomes were magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-determined dominant fibroid infarct percentage (DF%) and all fibroid percentage infarct (AF%) at 3 months post-embolisation. MRI-determined uterine artery patency rate was the secondary outcome. Chi-squared test (χ
2), relative risk (RR) calculation (primary outcomes), and analysis of variance (ANOVA) (secondary outcome) were the statistical tests employed. RESULTS: One hundred and twenty patients were treated with six embolic agents (20 consecutive patients per group, overall mean age 44.8±6.4, initial uterine volume 570±472 ml, dominant fibroid volume 249±324 ml). Fibroid infarctrates were similar between the cohorts with no significant difference between the new gelatin-based resorbable particle and other embolics in either DF% (χ
2=3.92, p=0.56) or AF% (χ
2=2.83, p=0.73). Complete DF% RR=1.07 (0.90–1.27) and AF% RR=1.09 (0.85–1.41) suggest non-inferiority of the resorbable particle (d=0.67, p<0.05). A favourable uterine artery patency rate was demonstrated for the resorbable particle compared with gelatin slurry (82.5% versus 27.5%, p<0.001 after Bonferroni adjustment). CONCLUSIONS: This new gelatin-based, fully resorbable particle is an effective embolic agent for fibroid embolisation and achieves an infarct rate non-inferior to established embolics.

Hacking the body.
No full textHacking the Body is a proposed collaborative re-search project that explores the use of the concept of 'hacking' to repurpose and re-imagine internal signals from the body through DIY biosensors and soft circuits. This paper outlines definitions of hacking and how these apply to workshops exploring how to create these sensors

Is N-Hacking Ever OK? The consequences of collecting more data in pursuit of statistical significance
No full textUpon completion of an experiment, if a trend is observed that is "not quite significant," it can be tempting to collect more data in an effort to achieve statistical significance. Such sample augmentation or "N-hacking" is condemned because it can lead to an excess of false positives, which can reduce the reproducibility of results. However, the scenarios used to prove this rule tend to be unrealistic, assuming the addition of unlimited extra samples to achieve statistical significance, or doing so when results are not even close to significant; an unlikely situation for most experiments involving patient samples, cultured cells, or live animals. If we were to examine some more realistic scenarios, could there be any situations where N-hacking might be an acceptable practice? This Essay aims to address this question, using simulations to demonstrate how N-hacking causes false positives and to investigate whether this increase is still relevant when using parameters based on real-life experimental settings
