Building a world-class platform for software engineers

Technology Review  

Software engineers and their ability to deliver are critical to a business’ success. They help organizations keep pace with innovation and respond to disruptive forces. Even companies in industries that are not traditionally considered tech, such as agriculture or financial services, recognize the need for software engineers and are actively seeking to hire talented individuals.…

UPS Workers Aren’t Afraid of a Fight

In These Times 

“[UPS management] love nothing more than to reward productive workers with more productivity. And people that keep up with that, by the time they’re 20 years in, they’re getting knee replacements, they’re getting hip replacements, their quality of life plummets.”

The project is conceived in dialogue with the forest of “Belle Idee,” which is partially present to the north of the site and has gradually been cleared to make way for agricultural fields and collective housing. The initial gesture was to propose a “Clearing” surrounded by a series of trees. It extends the presence of the forest while enhancing the wildlife and flora of the place. The volume primarily serves as a complement to the vegetation circle with its curved facade, which incorporates a fountain evoking a Nympheum. Читать дальше...

Are people really less moral in their foreign language? Proficiency and comprehension matter for the moral foreign language effect in Russian speakers

Plos.org 

by Alena Kirova, Ying Tang, Paul Conway

Previous work has demonstrated that people are more willing to sacrifice one person to save five in a foreign language (FL) than in their native tongue. This may be due to the FL either reducing concerns about sacrificial harm (deontological inclinations) or increasing concerns about overall outcomes (utilitarian inclinations). Moreover, proficiency in a foreign language (FL) may moderate results. To test these possibilities, we investigated the moral... Читать дальше...

Large-deviations of disease spreading dynamics with vaccination

Plos.org 

by Yannick Feld, Alexander K. Hartmann

We numerically simulated the spread of disease for a Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) model on contact networks drawn from a small-world ensemble. We investigated the impact of two types of vaccination strategies, namely random vaccination and high-degree heuristics, on the probability density function (pdf) of the cumulative number C of infected people over a large range of its support. To obtain the pdf even in the range of probabilities as small as 10−80... Читать дальше...

Anxiety classification in virtual reality using biosensors: A mini scoping review

Plos.org 

by Deniz Mevlevioğlu, Sabin Tabirca, David Murphy

Background

Anxiety prediction can be used for enhancing Virtual Reality applications. We aimed to assess the evidence on whether anxiety can be accurately classified in Virtual Reality.

Methods

We conducted a scoping review using Scopus, Web of Science, IEEE Xplore, and ACM Digital Library as data sources. Our search included studies from 2010 to 2022. Our inclusion criteria were peer-reviewed studies which take place in a Virtual... Читать дальше...

The role of photobehaviour in sponge larval dispersal and settlement

Plos.org 

by Steve Whalan

Deciphering the behavioural ecology of adult (sessile) sponges is challenging. However, their motile larval stages afford opportunities to investigate how behaviour contributes to dispersal and selection of habitat. Light is a fundamental cue contributing to larval sponge dispersal where photoreceptive cells contribute to this process. But how universal is light as a cue to sponge larval dispersal and settlement? Behavioural choice experiments were used to test the effect of light on dispersal and settlement behaviours.

Psychological factors and production behaviors of Chinese undergraduate EFL learners

Plos.org 

by Zheng Wang

Psychological factor have received much attention in education research. The present mixed-methods study focuses on the effect of foreign language enjoyment (FLE), foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA) on production behaviors among 182 Chinese English as a foreign language (EFL) learners in FL teaching classes. The major findings are as follows: (1) Chinese university students prefer written production behaviors to oral ones, and personal or pair-work oral practice to onstage... Читать дальше...

Establishment of the lymphoid ETS-code reveals deregulated ETS genes in Hodgkin lymphoma

Plos.org 

by Stefan Nagel, Corinna Meyer, Claudia Pommerenke

The human family of ETS transcription factors numbers 28 genes which control multiple aspects of development, notably the differentiation of blood and immune cells. Otherwise, aberrant expression of ETS genes is reportedly involved in forming leukemia and lymphoma. Here, we comprehensively mapped ETS gene activities in early hematopoiesis, lymphopoiesis and all mature types of lymphocytes using public datasets. We have termed the generated gene expression pattern lymphoid ETS-code. Читать дальше...

What does the demographic profile of convicts tell us about social equity in India?

Plos.org 

by Pranab Mukhopadhyay, Shaila Desouza, Aparna P. Lolayekar

Social equity is a critical component of social justice and is measured in multiple ways. Conventionally, researchers use literacy levels, workforce participation, political participation and representation, corporate presence, and demographic parity as indicators of social and economic equity. We add law enforcement outcomes to this literature by examining the demographic profiles of convicts in prisons in India for each state and... Читать дальше...

Categorical consistency facilitates implicit learning of color-number associations

Plos.org 

by Talia L. Retter, Lucas Eraßmy, Christine Schiltz

In making sense of the environment, we implicitly learn to associate stimulus attributes that frequently occur together. Is such learning favored for categories over individual items? Here, we introduce a novel paradigm for directly comparing category- to item-level learning. In a category-level experiment, even numbers (2,4,6,8) had a high-probability of appearing in blue, and odd numbers (3,5,7,9) in yellow. Associative learning was measured... Читать дальше...

Construction and application of an applicability evaluation system for garlic planters based on fuzzy comprehensive evaluation

Plos.org 

by Haichao Song, Xiang Dai

The widespread use of garlic planters has been hampered by the lack of comprehensive applicability evaluation criteria, as their functional and structural designs are sometimes subpar and their purchase and use are not always financially advantageous. In order to close this gap in the applicability evaluation system for garlic planters, a three-level index system based on Technical indicators, Economic indicators, and Working condition indicators was proposed in the current study.

Development and validation of an environmental DNA assay to detect federally threatened groundwater salamanders in central Texas

Plos.org 

by Zachary C. Adcock, Michelle E. Adcock, Michael R. J. Forstner

The molecular detection of DNA fragments that are shed into the environment (eDNA) has become an increasingly applied tool used to inventory biological communities and to perform targeted species surveys. This method is particularly useful in habitats where it is difficult or not practical to visually detect or trap the target organisms. Central Texas Eurycea salamanders inhabit both surface and subterranean aquatic environments. Читать дальше...
