Trasparenza della ricerca: Open Science e dati FAIR

Con open science (scienza aperta) si intende un modus operandi di fare ricerca basato sulla cooperazione e sulla diffusione della conoscenza. Horizon Europe promuove queste pratiche e ciò richiede una serie di accorgimenti in fase di pianificazione del progetto, di gestione dei dati di ricerca e di pubblicazione dei risultati. Il contributo ha l’obiettivo di descrivere queste pratiche, partendo dalle raccomandazioni per una maggiore trasparenza e riproducibilità della ricerca, fino alla gestione dei dati di ricerca secondo i principi FAIR. Si situa all'interno del percorso “HorizonEurope@Unibo”, una rassegna che affronta i principali temi trasversali del programma quadro ed è dedicata al personale di ricerca e di supporto alla ricerca dell’Università di Bologna

What do we mean by "data"? A proposed classification of data types in the arts and humanities

Purpose: This article describes the interviews we conducted in late 2021 with 19 researchers at the Department of Classical Philology and Italian Studies at the University of Bologna. The main purpose was to shed light on the definition of the word "data" in the humanities domain, as far as FAIR data management practices are concerned, and on what researchers think of the term. Methodology: We invited one researcher for each of the official disciplinary areas represented within the department and all 19 accepted to participate in the study. Participants were then divided into 5 main research areas: philology and literary criticism, language and linguistics, history of art, computer science, archival studies. The interviews were transcribed and analysed using a grounded theory approach. Findings: A list of 13 research data types has been compiled thanks to the information collected from participants. The term "data" does not emerge as especially problematic, contrary to what has been reported elsewhere. Looking at current research management practices, methodologies and teamwork appear more central than previously reported. Originality: Our findings confirm that "data" within the FAIR framework should include all types of input and outputs humanities research work with, including publications. Also, the participants to this study appear ready for a discussion around making their research data FAIR: they do not find the terminology particularly problematic, while they rely on precise and recognised methodologies, as well as on sharing and collaboration with colleagues

Fare Open Science nelle scienze umane

Come tradurre nella pratica di ricerca quotidiana i principi della Open Science? Quali strumenti utilizzare per aprire ogni passo del ciclo di ricerca? Lo sentiamo dall’esperienza concreta di due ricercatori di area umanistica che ci raccontano due progetti attualmente in corso: SPICE, incentrato su strumenti e metodi per supportare la citizen curation, e un progetto congiunto di indagine sul concetto di dato nelle Scienze Umane, nell’ottica di perimetrare la gestione FAIR dei dati in queste discipline

Saving temporary exhibitions in virtual environments: The Digital Renaissance of Ulisse Aldrovandi – Acquisition and digitisation of cultural heritage objects

As per the objectives of Project CHANGES, particularly its thematic sub-project on the use of virtual technologies for museums and art collections, our goal was to obtain a digital twin of the temporary exhibition on Ulisse Aldrovandi called “The Other Renaissance”, and make it accessible to users online. After a preliminary study of the exhibition, focusing on acquisition constraints and related solutions, we proceeded with the digital twin creation by acquiring, processing, modelling, optimising, exporting, and metadating the exhibition. We made hybrid use of two acquisition techniques to create new digital cultural heritage objects and environments, and we used open technologies, formats, and protocols to make available the final digital product. Here, we describe the process of collecting and curating bibliographical exhibition (meta) data and the beginning of the digital twin creation to foster its findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability. The creation of the digital twin is currently ongoing

What do we mean by “data”? A proposed classification of data types in the arts and humanities

Abstract Purpose – This article describes the interviews the authors conducted in late 2021 with 19 researchers at the Department of Classical Philology and Italian Studies at the University of Bologna. The main purpose was to shed light on the definition of the word “data” in the humanities domain, as far as FAIR data management practices are concerned, and on what researchers think of the term. Design/methodology/approach – The authors invited one researcher for each of the official disciplinary areas represented within the department and all 19 accepted to participate in the study. Participants were then divided into five main research areas: philology and literary criticism, language and linguistics, history of art, computer science and archival studies. The interviews were transcribed and analysed using a grounded theory approach. Findings – A list of 13 research data types has been compiled thanks to the information collected from participants. The term “data” does not emerge as especially problematic, although a good deal of confusion remains. Looking at current research management practices, methodologies and teamwork appear more central than previously reported. Originality/value – Our findings confirm that “data” within the FAIR framework should include all types of inputs and outputs humanities research work with, including publications. Also, the participants of this study appear ready for a discussion around making their research data FAIR: they do not find the terminology particularly problematic, while they rely on precise and recognised methodologies, as well as on sharing and collaboration with colleagues

Research Data Management e principi di Open Science Formazione PhD_v1_16112023

Il dataset contiene le slides delle presentazioni esposte durante il corso online "Research Data Management e Principi di Open Science", erogato dai Data Stewards dell’Università di Bologna e dall’avvocato Francesco Di Tano ai dottorandi dell'Università di Bologna nel mese di ottobre 2023. Il dataset contiene 4 sottocartelle, una per ognuna delle 4 aree tematiche disciplinari a cui è stata erogata la formazione (Area Medico/Scientifica, Area Sociale, Area Tecnologica, Area Umanistica). In ciascuna delle sottocartelle sono presenti i materiali utilizzati per le lezioni di ciascuno dei tre moduli didattici. Modulo 1 "I dati della ricerca: cosa sono e come gestirli" (3h), che comprende quanto segue: - i dati: cosa sono e qual è il loro valore; - i principi fondamentali dell'Open Science e della gestione FAIR dei dati di ricerca; - introduzione alla gestione dei dati di ricerca. (files intitolati “Modulo1_PhD_Formazione_ecc”) Modulo 2 "La gestione dei dati di ricerca: strumenti, azioni e punti chiave" (2,5 ore), che copre i seguenti aspetti: - approfondimento delle fasi e degli strumenti della gestione dei dati di ricerca; - focus: gestione e conservazione dei dati personali. (files intitolati “Modulo2_PhD_Formazione_ecc” e “Modulo2_PhD_Privacy_ecc”) Modulo 3 "Il piano di gestione dei dati: uno strumento utile per la ricerca" (3 ore), che comprende quanto segue: - il Piano di Gestione dei Dati (DMP): cos'è e qual è il suo ruolo nella ricerca; - cosa includere in un DMP e come scriverlo.

Efficacy of lamivudine prophylaxis in preventing hepatitis B virus reactivation in patients with resolved infection undergoing allogeneic SCT and receiving rituximab

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation during immunosuppressive therapy is common in patients with hematological malignancies, even in case of resolved infection. Prophylaxis of HBV reactivation is universally recommended in stem cell transplant (SCT) recipients and patients treated with anti-CD20 agents (i.e., rituximab). Despite its well-established favorable safety profile, lamivudine (LAM) use in prophylaxis has been debated because of the possible emergence of resistant viral strains. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of LAM in preventing HBV reactivation in allogeneic SCT recipients with a resolved HBV infection

The effect of plasma surface modification on the biodegradation rate and biocompatibility of a poly(butylene succinate)-based copolymer

In this contribution, a poly(butylene succinate)-based copolymer containing thioether linkages (P(BS85BTDG15)) has been synthesized and characterized from the molecular, thermal and mechanical point of view. The results have been compared to the parent homopolymer. Films obtained both by PBS and P(BS85BTDG15) have been subjected to surface modification by means of non-thermal plasma surface treatment and the effect on physic/mechanical properties has been considered. Hydrolytic degradation rate under physiological conditions and in vitro biocompatibility of treated and non-treated polymeric films have been also investigated.The introduction of thioether linkages and the plasma etching enhanced the polymer surface wettability, thus resulting in an increased hydrolytic degradation rate. On the other hand, bulk properties were not significantly affected.Biocompatibility assays highlighted the absence of potentially cytotoxic products into the culture medium and proved that the investigated polymeric films can support cell adhesion and proliferation.
