No full textAlgorithm aversion is too often presented as though it werenon-compensatory: A reply to Longoni et al. (2020)
No full textWe clarify two points made in our commentary (Pezzo & Beckstead, 2020,this issue) on a recent paper by Longoni, Bonezzi,and Morewedge (2019). In both Experiments 1 and 4 from their paper,it is not possible to determine whether accuracy can compensate for algorithm aversion. Experiments 3A-C, however, do show a strong effect of accuracy such that AI that is superior to a human provider is embraced by patients. Many papers, including Longoni et al. tend to minimize the role of this compensatory process, apparently because it seems obvious to the authors (Longoni, Bonezzi, Morewedge, 2020, this issue). Such minimization, however, can lead to (mis)citations in which research that clearly demonstrates a compensatory role of AI accuracy is cited as non-compensatory
I laboratori per la market surveillance sulle Direttive Ecodesign ed Etichettatura Energetica per gli elettrodomestici del lavaggio
No full textLe misure di implementazione definite nell’ambito delle Direttive quadro ‘Ecodesign’ ed ‘Etichettatura Energetica’ prevedono che gli Stati Membri debbano svolgere azioni di sorveglianza del mercato ovvero effettuare verifiche di conformità dei prodotti alla suddetta legislazione. L’ENEA, nell’ambito dell’Accordo di Programma MiSE-ENEA sulla Ricerca di Sistema Elettrico, sta supportando la creazione di una rete di laboratori esistenti sul territorio nazionale che rispondono, o si sono impegnati ad adeguarsi rapidamente, ad una serie di requisiti di affidabilità e capacità di prova, ed ha avviato un’ attività di comunicazione dei criteri e dei protocolli per effettuare i controlli di mercati come previste dalle Direttive in materia. I laboratori stanno fornendo contributi attivi sia per l’implementazione del Network con suggerimenti sull’opportunità di organizzare ring test, che per definire le modalità di prelievo a campione dei prodotti da testare e identificare un format condiviso per i report dei risultati delle prove, oltre che sulla formazione del personale. Durante la presente annualità l’attenzione si è concentrata sugli apparecchi per il lavaggio il secondo gruppo più importante di apparecchi domestici installati nel settore domestico, interessati dall’implementazione dei requisiti di Ecodesign e della nuova Etichetta Energetica. La promozione dell’attività è stata avviata tramite il sito web della sede ENEA di Ispra e la realizzazione di pannelli espositivi in occasione degli eventi partecipati

Habitat preferences of Eurasian Bitterns Botaurus stellaris booming in ricefields: implications for management
No full textThe Eurasian Bittern Botaurus stellaris suffered declines in western Europe during the 20th century, partly because of wetland reclamation. The species has been traditionally considered a reedbed specialist but recent studies identified a greater ecological plasticity than previously believed. We investigated habitat associations of a Eurasian Bittern population that has started to breed in the ricefields of northwest Italy since the early 1990s. Booming Bitterns had a higher probability of occurring in ricefields with taller rice plants, more vegetated field banks, more weeds, a larger surface and closer to remaining natural wetlands. The positive effect of field bank vegetation height on the probability that a ricefield hosted a booming Bittern declined late in the season, in contrast to the effects of weeds and ricefield area, which were stronger later in the season. A decreasing importance of vegetation on field banks to booming Bitterns may be a consequence of seasonal changes in habitat structure through the Bittern’s breeding period. The degree of flooding did not affect the probability of occurrence of booming Bitterns, probably because most ricefields were homogeneously flooded during the peak breeding season (June–July). Our findings have important implications for the management of Bittern populations breeding in the ricefields of northwest Italy. We propose simple conservation actions that may favour the occurrence of booming Bitterns and help the species spread in this novel habitat
Patients prefer artificial intelligence to a human provider, provided theAI is better than the human: A commentary on Longoni, Bonezzi andMorewedge (2019)
No full textWe call attention to an important, but overlooked finding in research reported by Longoni, Bonezzi and Morewedge (2019).Longoni et al. claim that people always prefer a human to an artificially intelligent (AI) medical provider. We show that this was only the case when the historical performance of the human and AI providers was equal. When the AI is known to outperform the human, their data showed a clear preference for the automated provider. We provide additional statistical analyses of their data to support this claim
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

No full textComparison of shallow landslide stability models through laboratory simulations
No full textShallow mass movements represent a significant portion within the vast family of landslide phenomena. Moreover, their detection, monitoring and stability analysis is not an easy task. Analytical stability models are often used for the purpose. Their formulation ranges from extremely simple ones to rather complex formulations which include a number of physical parameters intrinsic to the terrain as well as external forcing agents. The application of such models seems to be strictly site-specific as various authors calibrate their use to a particular case study under investigation. In this work we propose a comparison on the application of several models for shallow mass movement stability analysis. Even though their formulation is similar, the significance of the governing parameter in each model varies and thus application of those models on the same case study leads to greatly varying results. The analytical models have been testes at the laboratory scale under several types of shallow landslide simulations. The obtained results indicate that often simpler models are able to successfully predict instability conditions in terms of factor of safety. On the other hand, a variation of the homogeneity of the terrain poses a series of difficulties in the implementation of a given model. Therefore, a discussion on the applicability of such models on real case studies is proposed, which highlights the limits of their reliability
