Scientific Conferences as a Medium of Academic Communication – a Case of INFuture

Scientific conferences provide opportunities for both formal and informal communication of academic insights among conference participants and make possible the sharing of those insights with the wider academic community as well as the wider public through the publication of conference papers in both print and digital form, and owing to all this they may be considered a significant medium of academic communication. Every system of communication consists of three basic elements: source of information, information user(s) and mediums or channels used for disseminating information. We analysed the system of academic communication using this basic structure, where we approached scientific conferences as a medium used for the dissemination of information. However, it is important to emphasise that in this basic scheme researchers represent the source of information and information users at the same time. Our analysis of academic communication includes both the dissemination and assimilation of scientific information taking place at conferences. Standard forms of activity and interaction at scientific conferences, ranging from oral communication during the giving of presentations, through written communication involved in the publication of papers as part of conference proceedings to one’s very presence at a conference, should carefully be evaluated in terms of their effectiveness as mediums of academic communication. We will present the results of our preliminary research through demonstrating correlations between the number of authors and number of papers presented at previous INFuture conferences, classifying authors by country, co-authorship, etc., and thus provide an introduction into a more detailed research into the communication space created as a result of scientific conferences and the role of that space in the communication within a particular academic community. A more extensive research project will include scientometric and bibliometric analyses, interviews and comparative analyses that should provide us with insights into the significance of conferences as a medium of academic communication and their impact on the academic community

FAKE NEWS AS A FORM OF DISINFORMATION

Rad istražuje različite znanstvene pristupe proučavanju i definiranju lažnih vijesti, s naglaskom na divergentnost tumačenja i analizu dobivenih rezultata. Cilj je ovoga istraživanja u okviru informacijskih i komunikacijskih znanosti definirati „lažne vijesti“. Glavna teza rada naglašava da lažne vijesti nisu zasebna vrsta informacija narušena integriteta, nego se pojavljuju kao oblik dezinformacije. Autori uspoređuju različite perspektive pristupu lažnim vijestima, ističući kako razumijevanje njihove prirode zahtijeva analizu širega konteksta informacijskoga i komunikacijskoga okružja. Zaključci istraživanja ukazuju na nužnost prilagodbe definicija lažnih vijesti, uključujući i slučajeve gdje lažne vijesti nisu nužno namjerne dezinformacije, nego rezultat nesporazuma ili nekritičkoga širenja netočnih podataka. Divergentnost pristupa uočena tijekom istraživanja sugerira da postoji potreba za integriranim i interdisciplinarnim pristupom kako bi se dinamika lažnih vijesti bolje razumjela. Konačno, istraživanje potiče na daljnje napore u razvoju strategija prepoznavanja i suzbijanja lažnih vijesti kao oblika dezinformacija koje uzimaju u obzir raznolikost formata njihove pojave.The paper explores various scientific approaches to studying and defining fake news, with an emphasis on the divergence of interpretations and the analysis of the obtained results. This research aims to define “fake news” within the field of information and communication sciences. The main thesis in this paper emphasizes that fake news is not a separate type of information with breached integrity but appears as a form of disinformation. The authors compare different perspectives on approaching fake news, emphasizing that understanding their nature requires an analysis of the broader context of the information and communication environment. The research conclusions point to the necessity of adapting definitions of fake news, including cases where fake news is not necessarily intentional disinformation but a result of misunderstandings or uncritical dissemination of inaccurate data. The divergence of approaches observed during the research suggests a need for an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to better understand the dynamics of fake news. Finally, the research encourages further efforts in developing strategies for identifying and tackling fake news as a form of disinformation, taking into account the diversity of formats in which they appear

A fetal wave of human type 3 effector gamma delta cells with restricted TCR diversity persists into adulthood

Accumulating evidence suggests that the mouse embryonic thymus produces distinct waves of innate effector gamma delta T cells. However, it is unclear whether this process occurs similarly in humans and whether it comprises a dedicated subset of innate-like type 3 effector gamma delta T cells. Here, we present a protocol for high-throughput sequencing of TRG and TRD pairs that comprise the clonal gamma delta TCR. In combination with single-cell RNA sequencing, multiparameter flow cytometry, and TCR sequencing, we reveal a high heterogeneity of gamma delta T cells sorted from neonatal and adult blood that correlated with TCR usage. Immature gamma delta T cell clusters displayed mixed and diverse TCRs, but effector cell types segregated according to the expression of either highly expanded individual V delta 1(+) TCRs or moderately expanded semi-invariant V gamma 9V delta 2(+) TCRs. The V gamma 9V delta 2(+) T cells shared expression of genes that mark innate-like T cells, including ZBTB16 (encoding PLZF), KLRB1, and KLRC1, but consisted of distinct clusters with unrelated V gamma 9V delta 2(+) TCR clones characterized either by TBX21, FCGR3A, and cytotoxicity-associated gene expression (type 1) or by CCR6, RORC, IL23R, and DPP4 expression (type 3). Effector gamma delta T cells with type 1 and type 3 innate T cell signatures were detected in a public dataset of early embryonic thymus organogenesis. Together, this study suggests that functionally distinct waves of human innate-like effector gamma delta T cells with semi-invariant V gamma 9V delta 2(+) TCR develop in the early fetal thymus and persist into adulthood

Brief research report: in-depth immunophenotyping reveals stability of CD19 CAR T-cells over time

Variability or stability might have an impact on treatment success and toxicity of CD19 CAR T-cells. We conducted a prospective observational study of 12 patients treated with Tisagenlecleucel for CD19+ B-cell malignancies. Using a 31-color spectral flow cytometry panel, we analyzed differentiation stages and exhaustion markers of CAR T-cell subsets prior to CAR T-cell infusion and longitudinally during 6 months of follow-up. The majority of activation markers on CAR T-cells showed stable expression patterns over time and were not associated with response to therapy or toxicity. Unsupervised cluster analysis revealed an immune signature of CAR T-cell products associated with the development of immune cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome. Warranting validation in an independent patient cohort, in-depth phenotyping of CAR T-cell products as well as longitudinal monitoring post cell transfer might become a valuable tool to increase efficacy and safety of CAR T-cell therapy

Demonstration of Pick and Place Operation with 3DOF Cartesian Robot

U zadatku ovog rada troosni kartezijski robot MAX R3 osposobljen je za izvršavanje operacije slijednog premještanja više predmeta u području svog radnog prostora. Robot je donacija tvrtke Schneider Electric i nalazi se u prostorijama Fakulteta elektrotehnike i računarstva u Zagrebu. Izvršena je parametrizacija, konfiguracija i povezivanje svih upravljačkih komponenti robota (kontroler gibanja, servo pretvarači, HMI), a pri tome su korišteni programskih alata tvrtke Schneider Electric: SoMove i SoMachine. Napravljen je program za slijedno premještanje do 3 predmeta, uz mogućnost jednostavne nadogradnje kako bi se omogućilo premještanje i više od 3 predmeta. Korištenjem jednostavnog naponskog dijelila omogućeno je upravljanje motorima hvataljke pomoću kontrolera gibanja. Time je kontroler gibanja postao glavni čvor sustava za upravljanje robotom jer upravlja svim komponentama koje kontroliraju gibanje robota. Povezivanjem kontrolera sa HMI-om, dodatno je pojednostavljeno upravljanje robotom.In this project, a 3DOF cartesian robot MAX R3 is enabled to execute an operation of a sequential transfer of multiple objects in its workspace. The robot is a donation of the company Schneider Electric, and it is placed at the premises of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing in Zagreb. Within the framework of the project, the parameterization, configuration, and connection of all of the robot’s control components (motion controller, servo drives, HMI) were performed. In that process, two software tools of the company Schneider Electric – SoMove and SoMachine – were used. Additionally, a program for sequential transfer of up to 3 objects was created, with a possibility of a simple upgrade that would enable transfers of more than 3 objects. By using a simple voltage divider, it is possible to control the motors of the robot’s hand via the motion controller. In that way, the motion controller is set up as the central nod of the robot’s control system, since it directs all the components involved in the motion control. The use of the robot is additionally facilitated by connecting the motion controller to the HMI
