    Translating the Concept of Goal Setting into Practice: What ‘else’ Does It Require than a Goal Setting Tool?
    (Setúbal, Portugal : Science and Technology Publications, Lda, 2020) Kismihók, Gábor; Zhao, Catherine; Schippers, Michaéla; Mol, Stefan; Harrison, Scott; Shehata, Shady; Lane, H. Chad; Zvacek, Susan; Uhomoibhi, James
    This conceptual paper reviews the current status of goal setting in the area of technology enhanced learning and education. Besides a brief literature review, three current projects on goal setting are discussed. The paper shows that the main barriers for goal setting applications in education are not related to the technology, the available data or analytical methods, but rather the human factor. The most important bottlenecks are the lack of students’ goal setting skills and abilities, and the current curriculum design, which, especially in the observed higher education institutions, provides little support for goal setting interventions.

    Towards Bacteria Counting in DI Water of Several Microliters or Growing Suspension Using Impedance Biochips
    (Basel : MDPI, 2020) Kiani, Mahdi; Tannert, Astrid; Du, Nan; Hübner, Uwe; Skorupa, Ilona; Bürger, Danilo; Zhao, Xianyue; Blaschke, Daniel; Rebohle, Lars; Cherkouk, Charaf; Neugebauer, Ute; Schmidt, Oliver G.; Schmidt, Heidemarie
    We counted bacterial cells of E. coli strain K12 in several-microliter DI water or in several-microliter PBS in the low optical density (OD) range (OD = 0.05–1.08) in contact with the surface of Si-based impedance biochips with ring electrodes by impedance measurements. The multiparameter fit of the impedance data allowed calibration of the impedance data with the concentration cb of the E. coli cells in the range of cb = 0.06 to 1.26 × 109 cells/mL. The results showed that for E. coli in DI water and in PBS, the modelled impedance parameters depend linearly on the concentration of cells in the range of cb = 0.06 to 1.26 × 109 cells/mL, whereas the OD, which was independently measured with a spectrophotometer, was only linearly dependent on the concentration of the E. coli cells in the range of cb = 0.06 to 0.50 × 109 cells/mL.

    The Concept of Identifiability in ML Models
    (Setúbal : SciTePress - Science and Technology Publications, Lda., 2022) von Maltzan, Stephanie; Bastieri, Denis; Wills, Gary; Kacsuk, Péter; Chang, Victor
    Recent research indicates that the machine learning process can be reversed by adversarial attacks. These attacks can be used to derive personal information from the training. The supposedly anonymising machine learning process represents a process of pseudonymisation and is, therefore, subject to technical and organisational measures. Consequently, the unexamined belief in anonymisation as a guarantor for privacy cannot be easily upheld. It is, therefore, crucial to measure privacy through the lens of adversarial attacks and precisely distinguish what is meant by personal data and non-personal data and above all determine whether ML models represent pseudonyms from the training data.

    Digital Transformation of Education Credential Processes and Life Cycles – A Structured Overview on Main Challenges and Research Questions
    ([Wilmington, DE, USA] : IARIA, [2020], 2020) Keck, Ingo R.; Vidal, Maria-Esther; Heller, Lambert; Mikroyannidis, Alexander; Chang, Maiga; White, Stephen
    In this article, we look at the challenges that arise in the use and management of education credentials, and from the switch from analogue, paper-based education credentials to digital education credentials. We propose a general methodology to capture qualitative descriptions and measurable quantitative results that allow to estimate the effectiveness of a digital credential management system in solving these challenges. This methodology is applied to the EU H2020 project QualiChain use case, where five pilots have been selected to study a broad field of digital credential workflows and credential management.

    Crowdsourcing Scholarly Discourse Annotations
    (New York, NY : ACM, 2021) Oelen, Allard; Stocker, Markus; Auer, Sören
    The number of scholarly publications grows steadily every year and it becomes harder to find, assess and compare scholarly knowledge effectively. Scholarly knowledge graphs have the potential to address these challenges. However, creating such graphs remains a complex task. We propose a method to crowdsource structured scholarly knowledge from paper authors with a web-based user interface supported by artificial intelligence. The interface enables authors to select key sentences for annotation. It integrates multiple machine learning algorithms to assist authors during the annotation, including class recommendation and key sentence highlighting. We envision that the interface is integrated in paper submission processes for which we define three main task requirements: The task has to be . We evaluated the interface with a user study in which participants were assigned the task to annotate one of their own articles. With the resulting data, we determined whether the participants were successfully able to perform the task. Furthermore, we evaluated the interface’s usability and the participant’s attitude towards the interface with a survey. The results suggest that sentence annotation is a feasible task for researchers and that they do not object to annotate their articles during the submission process.

    Quantenphysik in Klasse 9: Ergebnisse einer Akzeptanzbefragung für ein Spin-First-Unterrichtskonzept
    (Berlin : FU Berlin, 2023) Albert, Carsten; Pospiech, Gesche
    Quantenphysik gilt als eines der herausforderndsten Themen bei der Vermittlung von Physik und ist gleichzeitig von herausragender Bedeutung bei künftigen technologischen Entwicklungen. Mit Blick auf den wachsenden Stellenwert der Quantenphysik innerhalb der schulischen Bildung wurde im Rahmen eines Design-Based-Research-Projektes ein Lehrkonzept entwickelt, das einen qualitativen und anknüpfungsfähigen Zugang zur Quantenphysik bereits in Klassenstufe 9 ermöglichen soll. Die Lerninhalte bauen dabei auf dem Elektronenspin als exemplarisches Zweizustandssystem auf. Mit dem Ziel einer ersten formativen Evaluierung wurden Akzeptanzbefragungen durchgeführt, um die Vermittlungsstrategie zu überprüfen und vor einer ersten Erprobung mit Schulklassen anzupassen. Die Interviews konnten zeigen, dass mit dem Ansatz die intendierten Inhalte überwiegend erfolgreich vermittelt werden können und dass ein weiterer Einsatz des Konzeptes im Rahmen von Feldstudien legitim erscheint. Außerdem gaben sie Hinweise und Impulse für erste Anpassungen am Konzept.

    INSPIRE: A European training network to foster research and training in cardiovascular safety pharmacology
    (Amsterdam : Elsevier B.V., 2020) Guns, P.-J.D.; Guth, B.D.; Braam, S.; Kosmidis, G.; Matsa, E.; Delaunois, A.; Gryshkova, V.; Bernasconi, S.; Knot, H.J.; Shemesh, Y.; Chen, A.; Markert, M.; Fernández, M.A.; Lombardi, D.; Grandmont, C.; Cillero-Pastor, B.; Heeren, R.M.A.; Martinet, W.; Woolard, J.; Skinner, M.; Segers, V.F.M.; Franssen, C.; Van Craenenbroeck, E.M.; Volders, P.G.A.; Pauwelyn, T.; Braeken, D.; Yanez, P.; Correll, K.; Yang, X.; Prior, H.; Kismihók, G.; De Meyer, G.R.Y.; Valentin, J.-P.
    Safety pharmacology is an essential part of drug development aiming to identify, evaluate and investigate undesirable pharmacodynamic properties of a drug primarily prior to clinical trials. In particular, cardiovascular adverse drug reactions (ADR) have halted many drug development programs. Safety pharmacology has successfully implemented a screening strategy to detect cardiovascular liabilities, but there is room for further refinement. In this setting, we present the INSPIRE project, a European Training Network in safety pharmacology for Early Stage Researchers (ESRs), funded by the European Commission's H2020-MSCA-ITN programme. INSPIRE has recruited 15 ESR fellows that will conduct an individual PhD-research project for a period of 36 months. INSPIRE aims to be complementary to ongoing research initiatives. With this as a goal, an inventory of collaborative research initiatives in safety pharmacology was created and the ESR projects have been designed to be complementary to this roadmap. Overall, INSPIRE aims to improve cardiovascular safety evaluation, either by investigating technological innovations or by adding mechanistic insight in emerging safety concerns, as observed in the field of cardio-oncology. Finally, in addition to its hands-on research pillar, INSPIRE will organize a number of summer schools and workshops that will be open to the wider community as well. In summary, INSPIRE aims to foster both research and training in safety pharmacology and hopes to inspire the future generation of safety scientists.

    Combining statistical and machine learning methods to explore German students’ attitudes towards ICT in PISA
    (London : Taylor & Francis, 2021) Lezhnina, Olga; Kismihók, Gábor
    In our age of big data and growing computational power, versatility in data analysis is important. This study presents a flexible way to combine statistics and machine learning for data analysis of a large-scale educational survey. The authors used statistical and machine learning methods to explore German students’ attitudes towards information and communication technology (ICT) in relation to mathematical and scientific literacy measured by the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) in 2015 and 2018. Implementations of the random forest (RF) algorithm were applied to impute missing data and to predict students’ proficiency levels in mathematics and science. Hierarchical linear models (HLM) were built to explore relationships between attitudes towards ICT and mathematical and scientific literacy with the focus on the nested structure of the data. ICT autonomy was an important variable in RF models, and associations between this attitude and literacy scores in HLM were significant and positive, while for other ICT attitudes the associations were negative (ICT in social interaction) or non-significant (ICT competence and ICT interest). The need for further research on ICT autonomy is discussed, and benefits of combining statistical and machine learning approaches are outlined.
