Integrating the social sciences to enhance climate literacy

open access: yes, 2017
The climate literacy movement aspires to help members of the general public understand the global climate system, locate and assess scientifically credible climatic information, communicate about climate change in an educated and objective manner, and ...

The unpredictably eruptive dynamics of spruce budworm populations in eastern Canada

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
We examine historical population data for spruce budworm from several locations through the period 1930–1997, and use density‐dependent recruitment curves to test whether the pattern of population growth over time is more consistent with Royama's (1984; Ecological Monographs 54:429–462) linear R(t) model of harmonic oscillation at Green River New ...

Exploring methodological innovation in the social sciences: the body in digital environments and the arts

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper we examine methodological innovation in the social sciences through a focus on researching the body in digital environments. There are two strands to our argument as to why this is a useful site to explore methodological innovation in the ...

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

Social Science Theories in Software Engineering Research [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
As software engineering research becomes more concerned with the psychological, sociological and managerial aspects of software development, relevant theories from reference disciplines are increasingly important for understanding the field's core phenomena of interest. However, the degree to which software engineering research draws on relevant social

Geographic variation in walking activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
This study examined whether there is geographic variation in field populations, focusing on the moving activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Results showed significant differences in moving activity among field populations but no correlation with latitude or meteorological factors.

Generative AI has lowered the barriers to computational social sciences [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the field of computational social science (CSS), unleashing new possibilities for collecting and analyzing multimodal data, especially for scholars who may not have extensive programming expertise. This breakthrough carries profound implications for social scientists.

Social Recommendations within the Multimedia Sharing Systems [PDF]

open access: yesMusial K., Kazienko P., Kajdanowicz T.: Social Recommendations within the Multimedia Sharing Systems. The First World Summit on the Knowledge Society, WSKS'08, Lecture Notes in Computer Science LNCS 5288, 2008, pp. 364-372, 2013
The social recommender system that supports the creation of new relations between users in the multimedia sharing system is presented in the paper. To generate suggestions the new concept of the multirelational social network was introduced. It covers both direct as well as object-based relationships that reflect social and semantic links between users.

FoxO1 signaling in B cell malignancies and its therapeutic targeting

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FoxO1 has context‐specific tumor suppressor or oncogenic character in myeloid and B cell malignancies. This includes tumor‐promoting properties such as stemness maintenance and DNA damage tolerance in acute leukemias, or regulation of cell proliferation and survival, or migration in mature B cell malignancies.
