Executable books make campaign data tangible

<p>Large field campaigns dedicated to study the earth system are run by large groups of people from many research institutions that are scattered around the globe. That way, it is possible to create a great wealth of original datasets, thoroughly quantifying the state of a specific region in space and time on our planet. All collected data is potentially very useful for model validation, process studies, teaching and more. But while researchers way beyond those participating at the field campaign might be interested in the data, even those participating are often faced by difficulties to discover, access and use the data.</p> <p>To tackle these challenges in the context of the EUREC4A field campaign, we started the „How to EUREC4A“ executable book project. It is an openly accessible online book, written collaboratively by participants from the field campaign and the broader community around. The book contains explanations about the available instruments, data and typical usage patterns. The book is also an executable book, which means that each of the chapters contain explanatory text, code and figures that can be modified by readers, either on their own computer or without any prior setup using an online service called „binder“. Thus, the book also forms a collection of data quicklooks and is an interactive plotting software at the same time.</p> <p>On first sight, the book might seem to be just yet another shiny user interface, similar to other data catalogs. But due to the way it is made, it really becomes the hub of a larger ecosystem. In order to make the book executable by everyone, data must be openly accessible and understandable to everyone, thus the book fosters the creation and maintenance of a comprehensive data catalog and the publication of datasets in an analysis friendly way. Every time the book is executed, we can test if the data is still accessible and still compatible. Furthermore, making beautiful and understandable usage examples for your dataset makes your data visible to a broader community, feels rewarding and motivates others to do the same. As the book lives due to motivated contributors, this creates a positive feedback loop to enlarge the collection of accessible and understandable data.</p>

Modelling social readers: novel tools for addressing reception from online book reviews

Social reading sites offer an opportunity to capture a segment of readers’ responses to literature, while data-driven analysis of these responses can provide new critical insight into how people ‘read’. Posts discussing an individual book on the social reading site, Goodreads , are referred to as ‘reviews’, and consist of summaries, opinions, quotes or some mixture of these. Computationally modelling these reviews allows one to discover the non-professional discussion space about a work, including an aggregated summary of the work’s plot, an implicit sequencing of various subplots and readers’ impressions of main characters. We develop a pipeline of interlocking computational tools to extract a representation of this reader-generated shared narrative model. Using a corpus of reviews of five popular novels, we discover readers’ distillation of the novels’ main storylines and their sequencing, as well as the readers’ varying impressions of characters in the novel. In so doing, we make three important contributions to the study of infinite-vocabulary networks: (i) an automatically derived narrative network that includes meta-actants; (ii) a sequencing algorithm, REV2SEQ, that generates a consensus sequence of events based on partial trajectories aggregated from reviews, and (iii) an ‘impressions’ algorithm, SENT2IMP, that provides multi-modal insight into readers’ opinions of characters.

EUREC⁴A's <i>HALO</i>

As part of the EUREC4A (Elucidating the role of cloud–circulation coupling in climate) field campaign, the German research aircraft HALO (High Altitude and Long Range Research Aircraft), configured as a cloud observatory, conducted 15 research flights in the trade-wind region east of Barbados in January and February 2020. Narrative text, aircraft state data, and metadata describing HALO's operation during the campaign are provided. Each HALO research flight is segmented by timestamp intervals into standard elements to aid the consistent analysis of the flight data. Photographs from HALO's cabin and animated satellite images synchronized with flight tracks are provided to visually document flight conditions. As a comprehensive product from the remote sensing observations, a multi-sensor cloud mask product is derived and quantifies the incidence of clouds observed during the flights. In addition, to lower the threshold for new users of HALO's data, a collection of use cases is compiled into an online book, How to EUREC4A, included as an asset with this paper. This online book provides easy access to most of EUREC4A's HALO data through an intake catalogue. Code and data are freely available at the locations specified in Table 6.

ONLINE BOOK OF LETTERS OF LITERACY IN THE TIMES OF COVID

Learning in a pandemic is a challenge in which education needs to rethink and offer various alternatives that adapt to the situation in which we live. At CEU Cardenal Herrera University, we understand this new teaching role and prepare our students to create synchronous and asynchronous communicative actions and strategies that respond to the isolation of their future students. Literacy is one of the most serious problems and one of the most serious problems for pre-school teachers. It is even more difficult if the student is not physically present in the classroom. From this social reality follows the importance of creating interactive materials for future teachers that enable pre-school students to work with different phonemes, and are necessary prerequisites for acquiring reading and writing skills.

With the rise of open piracy in online book marketing, the writer’s attention is to find out the legal protection for consumers of pirated books marketed online. And what factors are the obstacles in law enforcement of the pirated book business. The method used is normative legal research by examining secondary data consisting of primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. All data and information obtained were processed and analyzed qualitatively using deductive methods. Based on a brief research, the writer examines consumer rights and harmony with the obligations of business actors in ensuring legal certainty when transacting online. In providing legal protection to consumers of pirated books that are marketed online, the perpetrators of piracy can be charged with multiple articles, namely; Article 62 paragraph (1) of Law No 8/1999, Article 45A paragraph (1) of Law No 19/2016 and Article 113 paragraph (4) of Law No 28/2014. Factors constraining law enforcement, such as: Unregistered copyrights make it difficult to investigate and reporting based on complaint offenses incriminating against Copyright perpetrators causes law enforcement in stuck. Suggestions to Government to maximize coordination, synergy and supervision on violations of Copyright and/or Related Rights in the electronic system through a Joint Regulation of the Minister of Law and Human Rights, the Minister of Communication and Information and other relevant Ministers.
