The State of Open Data: Histories and Horizons.
No full textA decade ago, open data was more or less just an idea, emerging as a rough point of consensus
for action among pro-democracy practitioners, internet entrepreneurs, open source advocates,
civic technology developers, and open knowledge campaigners. Calls for “open data now”
offered a powerful critique of the way in which governments and other institutions were hoarding
valuable data paid for by taxpayers – data that if made accessible, could be reused in a myriad of
different ways to bring social and economic benefits and democratic change.
Ten years on, open data is much more than just an idea. First, it was a movement, and then a
label applied to vast quantities of data from genomics and geospatial data to land registers,
contracting, and parliamentary voting. Today, it’s a term found on government portals, in global
policy documents, and in job descriptions. Thousands of businesses around the world owe their
existence or their growth to the release of open government data, and hundreds of civil society
organisations have embraced open data as a key element of their social change toolkit.
For a while, it may have been possible to identify a cohesive open data movement united by
shared interests, working simply to gain access to more data and establishing the principle that
government data should be open. However, as the movement has evolved, stakeholders have
turned their focus to linking data use to specific needs and to questions of how to quantify the
return on investment in advancing open data. Within this fast growing and organic open data
movement, an ever-increasing number of networks and communities of practice have become
more diverse, fluid, and cross-sectoral.
So what is the open data movement today? What has it achieved over the last decade?
Answering these questions is at the core of this publication. It is a collective effort to explore what
we can learn from the past, to identify how to build on the investments made to date, and to look
at how open data policy and practice have started to address challenges such as mainstreaming
and sectorisation.
Exploring these questions is not just important for historical purposes. It can yield important
insights on how best to move forward. This publication is also an invitation to identify the issues
that may sustain this broad coalition into the future. We believe that a deep reflection about the
movement, even a reflection on whatever cracks have appeared or on the gaps between promise
and reality, provides a vital opportunity to discuss where realignment and rethinking are needed.This collection of essays is the product of an 18-month journey that has brought together
almost 70 authors, supported by over 200 other contributors, to produce 37 short chapters on the
current state of open data from a range of different perspectives, offering the most comprehensive
attempt to explore the breadth and depth of the open data field to date
Médiateur de Santé/Pair et psychoéducation en santé mentale : une rencontre sous les auspices de l'innovation dans le soin
No full textThis article deals with the psycho-educational approach mobilised in the programme initiated by the World Health Organisation (WHO) through the action carried out by the Collaborating Centre for Mental Health Europe with the Health Mediator/Air Mediator programme (MSP). The analysis is carried out by the author, who has been a Health/Pair Mediator since the beginning of this programme, based on his experience in this type of position. An approach deployed with patients and families. A form of partnership in mental health developed in France for more than a decade.Cet article traite de l’approche psychoéducative mobilisée dans le programme initié par l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé (OMS) à travers l’action menée par le Centre Collaborateur de santé mentale Europe (CCOMS) avec le programme Médiateur de Santé/Pair (MSP).

Imaging with Kantorovich--Rubinstein Discrepancy
No full text© 2014 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. We propose the use of the Kantorovich-Rubinstein norm from optimal transport in imaging problems. In particular, we discuss a variational regularization model endowed with a Kantorovich- Rubinstein discrepancy term and total variation regularization in the context of image denoising and cartoon-texture decomposition. We point out connections of this approach to several other recently proposed methods such as total generalized variation and norms capturing oscillating patterns. We also show that the respective optimization problem can be turned into a convex-concave saddle point problem with simple constraints and hence can be solved by standard tools. Numerical examples exhibit interesting features and favorable performance for denoising and cartoon-texture decomposition.This research was supported by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) award KUK-I1-007-43 and EPSRC first grant EP/J009539/1, "Sparse & Higher-order Image Restoration."The research of the first author was supported by Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship ECF-2013-436.The research of this author was supported by a Senescyt (Ecuadorian Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology) Prometeo fellowship

Międzynarodowy Konkurs Młodych Pianistów "Arthur Rubinstein in memoriam" w Bydgoszczy
No full textThe author presents the 20-year history of the Competition for Young Pianists ”Arthur Rubinstein in memoriam” in the background of the region’s music culture and development of secondary and higher music education. She recalls the concert of Arthur Rubinstein at the Pomeranian Philharmonic in Bydgoszcz in 1960, and a stay of Karol Szymanowski in Bydgoszcz in the years 1921 and 1922, indicating these events as significant inspirations for the creation of the competition. She describes the nine successive editions of the competition, its program-artistic form, and laureates. She indicates the specificity of the competition for young pianists before 21 years of age, which gives them a special opportunity for promotion and development of their talent through recitals, as well as radio and TV recordings
Quantum Earth mover's distance, No-go Quantum Kantorovich-Rubinstein theorem, and Quantum Marginal Problem
No full textThe earth mover's distance is a measure of the distance between two
probabilistic measures. It plays a fundamental role in mathematics and computer
science. The Kantorovich-Rubinstein theorem provides a formula for the earth
mover's distance on the space of regular probability Borel measures on a
compact metric space. In this paper, we investigate the quantum earth mover's
distance. We show a no-go Kantorovich-Rubinstein theorem in the quantum
setting. More precisely, we show that the trace distance between two quantum
states can not be determined by their earth mover's distance. The technique
here is to track the bipartite quantum marginal problem. Then we provide
inequality to describe the structure of quantum coupling, which can be regarded
as quantum generalization of Kantorovich-Rubinstein theorem. After that, we
generalize it to obtain into the tripartite version, and build a new class of
necessary criteria for the tripartite marginal problem.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:quant-ph/0506138 by other

Circumscribed Storiform Collagenoma Associated with Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome in a Young Adolescent
No full textRubinstein-Taybi syndrome is a rare congenital neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by dysmorphic features, skeletal abnormalities, growth deficiency, and mental retardation. Circumscribed storiform collagenoma is a distinct benign fibromatous tumor that presents either as solitary tumor or in association with other syndromes. In this report, we describe a 16-year-old male with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome associated with circumscribed storiform collagenoma. To our knowledge, this association has not been previously described in the literature. © 2016 The Author(s). Published by S. Karger AG, Basel
Temperature fluctuations induced by frictional heating in isotropic turbulence
No full textThe temperature fluctuations generated by viscous dissipation in an isotropic turbulent flow are studied using direct numerical simulation. It is shown that the scaling of their variance with Reynolds number is at odds with predictions from recent investigations. The origin of the discrepancy is traced back to the anomalous scaling of the dissipation rate fluctuations. Phenomenological arguments are presented which explain the observed results
