One critical aspect of science is the ability to reproduce the same experiment by another researcher. In other to do so, the same ambient, variables, data, setup should be considered. The method tells how the original researcher planned and did their research, but how can others replicate or even advance the preview research? The scientific community has been focusing on efforts to increase transparency and reproducibility and develop a “culture of reproducibility.” When researchers share their data, their workflow, and co-evolute a way of doing research, all the players win. The value co-creation is established in a business ecosystem. The actor who is part of the business platform by the co-creation can leverage the advantage of one or more partners that make up the platform. Thus, the knowledge created from the interaction between the different technological domains and knowledge shared on the platform can improve all the research and researchers. Stating that, this chapter proposes a business ecosystem model to ensure research repeatability.

Abstract The recycling of Risidu Pet-Al (a laminated foil made from polyethylene and aluminum foil in food brike packaging) continues to be a challenge. Despite the fact that previous studies proposed green solutions for the recycling of the Pet-Al composite, the handicaps linked to the increase of the cost of the reagents involved in the recycling mechanism, the complexity of the steps, resulting in products with a critical aspect, really reflect a problem. The growing concern about environmental impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions from inceneration treatment is distinctly clear to the scientific community. This article involves chemical treatment by adding a strong base NaOH or KOH as the dissolving reagent, Followed by the addition of the strong acid HCl . The birth of a neutral environment promotes the recovery of aluminum salts as well as sodium (or potassium). The released H2, polyethylene and cardboard are also products regenerated by this recycling.The study contributes to the optimal conditions of time concentration temperature as well as the mode of separation. The recovered salts are identified, however their purity remains an important factor of quality before adapting their use.

Popular science communicators are a key link between scientists and publics, navigating the values of the scientific community and the perceived interests and values of readers. To do so, these professionals apply shared ideas about the role of science communication in society and about the factors that determine meaningful and newsworthy science stories. And yet we know little about the motivations and assumptions of audience values that underlie shared science communication values and criteria of story selection. Interviews with 14 popular science communicators writing in a variety of formats reveal that both their personal motivations and their perceptions of audience interests and values influence whether and how scientific research is translated into story.

Although survey research methods have been accepted in the scientific community, applications of telephone interview methods in occupational therapy research and program evaluation studies remain limited. The benefits of telephone interview methods include high response rates, ability to ask exploratory questions, cost-effectiveness, and ability to branch questions to subsets of a study population. Through the process of standardizing research instruments and administration procedures, the reliability of data collected by telephone can be increased substantially. The evaluation of an interview instrument is a critical aspect of study design. Details of an evaluation study and strategies to enhance the process of assessing interview instruments are provided.

THE BRITISH CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT ELECTED IN MAY 1979 had, by August 1980, taken three decisions in respect of nuclear weapons and civil defence which in portent had had few peacetime parallels. These decisions naturally had a technical as well as a political dimension yet, until at least the spring of 1981, the involvement of the British scientific community in public discussion of the underlying issues remained negligible. No similar decisions could be taken, or even contemplated, in the United States without provoking a response both substantial and professional from American scientists. How does one explain the attitude, or lack of it, in this context of their British counterparts? Why, when these decisions were announced, did British scientists behave, or appear to behave, as political eunuchs? Are there no matters which rouse them to political involvement? Or are they perhaps more politically effective precisely because they pursue a low-profile course? These questions are important and it is worth trying to answer them. Before attempting to do so, however, it will be helpful both to identify the British decisions of 1979–80 referred to above, and also to outline such reaction to them on the part of the British technical community as had, in fact, occurred by the spring of 1981.

The supply chain is currently taking on a very important role in organizations seeking to improve the competitiveness and profitability of the company. Its transversal character mainly places it in an unbeatable position to achieve this role. This article, through a study of each of the key enabling technologies of Industry 4.0, aims to obtain a general overview of the current state of the art in shipbuilding adapted to these technologies. To do so, a systematic review of what the scientific community says is carried out, dividing each of the technologies into different categories. In addition, the global vision of countries interested in each of the enabling technologies is also studied. Both studies present a general vision to the companies of the concerns of the scientific community, thus encouraging research on the subject that is focused on the sustainability of the shipbuilding supply chain.

The need to protect public health during the current COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated conference cancellations on an unprecedented scale. As the scientific community adapts to new working conditions, it is important to recognize that some of our actions may disproportionately affect early-career researchers and scientists from countries with limited research funding. We encourage all conference organizers, funders and institutions who are able to do so to consider how they can mitigate the unintended consequences of conference and travel cancellations and we provide seven recommendations for how this could be achieved. The proposed solutions may also offer long-term benefits for those who normally cannot attend conferences, and thus lead to a more equitable future for generations of researchers.

Abstract For more than a decade, the scientific community has been developing various models of insider actions in the trusted-zone information system and methods for identifying such. All those years, they have been facing the challenge of finding quality data samples for analysis and testing, and it is the availability of reliable data on the attack that is crucial for any research or detection of attempts to steal or compromise legal software. Unfortunately, collection of such samples remains nearly impossible despite some attempts to do so. Any data on incidents is either incomplete or inaccurate, or is not available at all. Software developers also face lack of resources, including time. Developers do not have enough time, funding, material resources, or qualifications to make a sturdy security system, which is why they need to use third-party automations that dock a security module to the compiled program. The strength of this approach is that such a system can be embedded in any software, whereas the weakness is that the method is "one-size-fits-all". Standard protections span across multiple programs, which results in a higher chance of being hacked.

This concluding chapter discusses the subsequent Nazi appropriation of the Anschluss and briefly recounts the differences between the republican and Nazi ideas about an Anschluss and nationalism. It expands on the republican use of großdeutsch nationalism: in allowing diverse groups to participate in a national community that was compatible with a democratic and pluralistic society, großdeutsch nationalism became a critical aspect in republicans' energetic attempts to legitimize the embattled republics. While it is true that republicans on both sides of the Austro-German border were never able to convince the political right that they were loyal Germans or that parliamentary democracy was a German form of government, the chapter argues that their inability to do so does not mean that their attempts to create a democratic and peaceful großdeutsch nationalism should be dismissed.
