Toward a service-based workflow for automated information extraction from herbarium specimens
(2018)
Over the past years, herbarium collections worldwide have started to digitize millions of specimens on an industrial scale. Although the imaging costs are steadily falling, capturing the accompanying label information is still predominantly done manually and develops into the principal cost factor. In order to streamline the process of capturing herbarium specimen metadata, we specified a formal extensible workflow integrating a wide range of automated specimen image analysis services. We implemented the workflow on the basis of OpenRefine together with a plugin for handling service calls and responses. The evolving system presently covers the generation of optical character recognition (OCR) from specimen images, the identification of regions of interest in images and the extraction of meaningful information items from OCR. These implementations were developed as part of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft funded a standardised and optimised process for data acquisition from digital images of herbarium specimens (StanDAP-Herb) Project.
This paper deals with new job profiles in libraries, mainly systems librarians (German: Systembibliothekare), IT librarians (German: IT-Bibliothekare) and data librarians (German: Datenbibliothekare). It investigates the vacancies and requirements of these positions in the German-speaking countries by analyzing one hundred and fifty published job advertisements of OpenBiblioJobs between 2012-2016. In addition, the distribution of positions, institutional bearers, different job titles as well as time limits, scope of work and remuneration of the positions are evaluated. The analysis of the remuneration in the public sector in Germany also provides information on demands for a bachelor's or master's degree.
The average annual increase in job vacancies between 2012 and 2016 is 14.19%, confirming the need and necessity of these professional library profiles.
The higher remuneration of the positions in data management, in comparison to the systems librarian, proves the prerequisite of the master's degree and thus indicates a desideratum due to missing or few master's degree courses. Accordingly, the range of bachelor's degree courses (or IT-oriented major areas of study with optional compulsory modules in existing bachelor's degree courses) for systems and IT librarians must be further expanded. An alternative could also be modular education programs for librarians and information scientists with professional experience, as it is already the case for music librarians.
Organisation der IT-Sicherheit in der Produktion : in zehn Schritten zur sicheren Produktionsanlage
(2018)
Der folgende Beitrag befasst sich mit der IT-Sicherheit von Produktionsanlagen aus Betreibersicht. Hierbei liegt der Fokus auf den organisatorischen Aspekten der IT-Sicherheit. In einer Bestandsaufnahme werden zunächst die Probleme herausgearbeitet, die entstehen, sofern sich eine Organisation im Wesentlichen auf technische Aspekte der IT-Sicherheit konzentriert. Daraus wird die Notwendigkeit organisatorischer Maßnahmen abgeleitet. Eine Betrachtung von Normen und Standards, die sich mit den organisatorischen Aspekten der IT-Sicherheit in der Produktion befassen, liefert das Grundgerüst für die Ableitung eines Maßnahmenplans. Der daraus resultierende 10-Punkte-Plan zur Umsetzung der IT-Sicherheit in der Produktion schließt den Beitrag ab.
The properties of these carbon nanostructures are determined by the structure and orientation of the graphitic domains during pyrolysis of carbon precursors. In this work, we investigated systematically the impact of creep stress during the stabilization process on the cyclization and molecular orientation of polyacrylonitrile as well as the graphitized structure after high temperature carbonization. Therefore, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is electrospun and then stabilized with and without application of creep stress at different temperatures. The effect of creep stress on cyclization was monitored via Fourier transform IR spectroscopy (FTIR) and it was found that the degree of cyclization varies with the application of creep stress during the initial stages of cyclization at low temperatures (190°C and 210°C) in contrast to cyclization done at higher temperature (230°C). Herman molecular orientation factor was evaluated by polarized FTIR for PAN nanofibers cyclized with and without creep stress at 230°C-10 h. Subsequently, carbonization was performed at 1000°C and 1200°C for nanofibers cyclized at 230°C-10 h. Our results from XRD and Raman spectroscopy shows that the degree of graphitization and ordering of graphitic domains was enhanced for PAN nanofibers that were creep stressed during the cyclization process, even though both PAN nanofibers cyclized with creep stress and without creep stress showed the same amount of cyclized material. This increased degree of graphitization can be tracked to application of creep stress during the stabilization process which obviously favors the formation of sp2-hybridized carbon planes in the carbonization process. This finding highlights the impact of mechanical stress linking the cyclization of PAN nanofibers to graphitization.
Our results will pave the way for a deeper understanding of mechano-chemical processes to fabricate well-aligned graphitic domains which improves the mechanical and electrical properties of CNFs.
Foucault im Jobcenter : Supervision in einem widersprüchlichen gesellschaftlichen Feld (Teil 2)
(2018)
Ziel dieses zweiten Teils ist eine ausführliche (struktur-)hermeneutische Rekonstruktion und Interpretation des Falles, den wir 2017 im ersten Teil dieses Artikels zur Illustration einer historischen, gesellschaftskritischen und makrosoziologischen Perspektive auf den Wandel der Arbeitswelt und den aktivierenden Sozialstaat verwendet hatten. Diese Perspektive tritt nun zugunsten biografischer, sozialwissenschaftlicher und pädagogischer sowie institutions- und organisationstheoretischer Interpretationen und Analysen des Feldes Jobcenter zurück. In ihm spiegeln sich die im ersten Teil beschriebenen Desintegrationsdynamiken wie in einem Brennglas wider. Die biografische Interpretation baut auf der Gestaltmehrdeutigkeit von Biografien nach Rosenthal auf, sie thematisiert die biografischen Übergänge, die eng mit der Bewältigung der Entwicklungsaufgaben korrelieren. Darüber hinaus werden sozialwissenschaftlich sowohl psychoanalytische als auch rollen-, habitus- und machttheoretische Aspekte eine wichtige Rolle spielen. In der institutions- und organisationstheoretischen Interpretation werden die Strukturen und das Beratungsverständnis der Jobcenter als gesellschaftliche Institution analysiert. Beratungswissenschaftlich und supervisionstheoretisch bedeutsam aus der Sicht der Autoren ist, dass sowohl Supervisor_innen als auch die Mitarbeitenden in den Jobcentern über biografietheoretische, sozialwissenschaftliche und sozial-pädagogischen Wissensbestände verfügen sollten, damit sie die komplexen, unverstandenen und aufgrund der Aktenlage häufig fragmentierten Biografien ihrer ‚Kund_innen‘ besser verstehen und beurteilen können. Nur dann scheint auch eine advokatorische Ethik greifen zu können, die das unverstandene Material nicht zu Ungunsten ihrer Klient_innen auslegt. Ziel dieses Artikels ist es, einen sozial- und strukturhermeneutischen Verstehenszugang in dieses für die Supervision interessante Feld zu eröffnen, der zugleich homologe Übertragungsmöglichkeiten in andere gesellschaftliche Felder ermöglichen kann.
Ein Schnittstellen-Datenmodell der Variabilität in automatisch bewerteten Programmieraufgaben
(2018)
Automatisch bewertete, variable Programmieraufgaben stellen besondere Schnittstellenanforderungen an Autobewerter (Grader) und Lernmanagementsysteme (LMS). Um Wiederverwendung von Aufgaben über Systemgrenzen hinweg zu begünstigen, schlagen wir vor, Aufgabenschablonen durch eine von allen beteiligten Systemen genutzte Middleware zu instanziieren und dabei Variabilitätsinformationen in einem Schnittstellen-Datenmodell zu transportieren. Wir stellen ein solches Datenmodell vor, welches für die Grader-unabhängige Kommunikation mit LMS ausgelegt ist und beispielhaft im Autobewerter Graja implementiert wurde. Zudem wird eine Dialogkomponente für die manuelle Werteauswahl vorgestellt, die auch bei großen Wertemengen effizient und Grader-unabhängig einsetzbar ist. Die Eignung des Dialogs und des Datenmodells wird anhand eines typischen Bewertungsszenarios diskutiert.
Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) are popular for indexing library records. We studied the possibility of assigning LCSH automatically by training classifiers for terms used frequently in a large collection of abstracts of the literature on hand and by extracting headings from those abstracts. The resulting classifiers reach an acceptable level of precision, but fail in terms of recall partly because we could only train classifiers for a small number of LCSH. Extraction, i.e., the matching of headings in the text, produces better recall but extremely low precision. We found that combining both methods leads to a significant improvement of recall and a slight improvement of F1 score with only a small decrease in precision.
Background: Discovery of antibiotics have helped to manage the devastating diseases. Presently, the antibiotic era is threatened by the emergence of high level of antibiotic resistance of important pathogens. Misuse of antibiotics poses a serious risk to infectious disease control. It is necessary to improve public awareness to bring a change in the behavior of consumers. Therefore, present study was undertaken to assess the existing knowledge, attitude and practices related to antibiotic usage among university students.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among students from Mumbai University, India during May-June 2017. 300 students were approached to participate in the study of which 250 agreed to participate (males: 117; females: 133). Pretested questionnaire was distributed and collected data was analyzed using IBM SPSS version 23.
Results: Substantial number (33% and 40%) participants were unaware about the differences in antibiotic-anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotic-antipyretics respectively. 28% of the participants thought it is right to stop antibiotics only based on symptoms improvement. Sixty eight percent and seventy nine percent participants believed that antibiotics should always be prescribed to treat flu like symptoms and pneumonia respectively.
Conclusions: Participants demonstrated poor knowledge about antibiotics. Similarly, their attitude and practice toward antibiotic use was associated with misconceptions. An educational intervention can be introduced to make them aware about rational antibiotic practices.
Background: Pharmacovigilance (PV); also known as drug safety surveillance, is the science of enhancing patient care and patient safety regarding the use of medicines by collecting, monitoring, assessing, and evaluating information from healthcare providers and patients. Pharmacists are pivotal players in adverse drug event (ADE) monitoring and reporting. However, most pharmacists are unaware or not knowledgeable about the guidelines used by their respective countries’ drug regulatory bodies. It is the need of the hour to train pharmacy students on the concept of pharmacovigilance.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among pharmacy students from Mumbai University, India during May-June 2017. On the basis of the eligibility criterion 352 students were selected for the present study. Four hundred students were approached to participate in the study of which 201 agreed to participate (males: 179; females: 173). Pretested questionnaire was distributed and collected data was analyzed using IBM SPSS version 23.
Results: Overall pharmacovigilance knowledge (44%) and perception (58%) was low among the participants of the present study. Seventy four percent of the participants felt that adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting should be made compulsory for healthcare professionals. And only 21% agreed that the topic of Pharmacovigilance is well covered in pharmacy curriculum.
Conclusions: Pharmacy council of India, pharmacy teacher’s association and respective pharmacy college should take necessary steps to increase the knowledge and create awareness regarding pharmacovigilance and adverse drug reaction reporting among pharmacy students.
