Abstract. Given the importance of the atmospheric aerosol, the number of instruments and measurement networks which focus at its characterization are growing. Many challenges are derived from that: standardization of protocols, monitoring of the instrument status to evaluate the network data quality, manipulation of large volume of data and distribution of data (raw and processed). CÆLIS is a software system which aims at simplifying the management of a network monitoring the instruments, processing the data in real time and offers to the scientific community new tools to work with the data. CÆLIS has been successfully applied to the management of the photometer calibration facility managed by the University of Valladolid in the frame of AERONET. The present work describes the system architecture of CÆLIS and some examples of applications and data processing.

Abstract. Given the importance of the atmospheric aerosol, the number of instruments and measurement networks which focus on its characterization are growing. Many challenges are derived from standardization of protocols, monitoring of the instrument status to evaluate the network data quality and manipulation and distribution of large volume of data (raw and processed). CÆLIS is a software system which aims at simplifying the management of a network, providing tools by monitoring the instruments, processing the data in real time and offering the scientific community a new tool to work with the data. Since 2008 CÆLIS has been successfully applied to the photometer calibration facility managed by the University of Valladolid, Spain, in the framework of Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET). Thanks to the use of advanced tools, this facility has been able to analyze a growing number of stations and data in real time, which greatly benefits the network management and data quality control. The present work describes the system architecture of CÆLIS and some examples of applications and data processing.

Network and information security are regarded as some of the most pressing problems of contemporary economy, affecting both individual citizens and entire societies, making them a highlight for homeland security. Innovative approaches to handle this challenge are undertaken by the scientific community, proposing the utilization of the emerging, advanced machine learning methods. This very paper puts forward a novel approach to the detection of cyberattacks taking inventory of the practical application of information granules. The feasibility of utilizing Granular Computing (GC) as a solution to the most current challenges in cybersecurity is researched. To the best of our knowledge, granular computing has not yet been widely examined or used for cybersecurity application purposes. The major contribution of this work is a method for constructing information granules from network data. We then report promising results on a benchmark dataset.

Recent exposure of an experiment (the Tudor Study) conducted in 1939 at the University of Iowa with the aim of studying the effect of verbal labeling on the frequency of disfluency in children who stutter and in normally fluent children has raised strong reactions both from the general public and the scientific community. Allegedly, the investigator and her mentor, a past leader in the field of speech pathology, were successful in their attempts to induce stuttering in normally speaking children; hence, serious accusations of breech of ethics in science have been made. The potential clinical implications of such conclusions for the treatment of early childhood stuttering are far reaching and negate recent developments that employ direct therapies with preschool children who show signs of stuttering. The purpose of this article is to re-examine the data reported in the Tudor Study and its ethical ramifications. We conclude that none of the experimental questions posed by Tudor and Johnson received empirical support. A broad range of relevant ethical issues is discussed.

Abstract This article analyses the situation of higher education courses in theology in Brazil, from a political and institutional point of view. It notes the need to adopt the epistemological status of theology itself as a parameter of institutionalization, in order to overcome the exclusively political criteria that have governed the process of accreditation of those courses, as well as the construction of curriculum guidelines. It affirms the ‘public’ aspect as inherent to theological reflection. Theology being a logos of faith structured originally within the university may, in the same space, be recognized as legitimate and established knowledge, according to the academic rules of the scientific community.

Below is the Scientific Policy Presentation, a document created by Javier Marzal Felici, Professor of Audiovisual Communication at the Jaume I University of Castellón, and by Juan Antonio García Galindo, Professor of Journalism at the University of Málaga. It was commissioned by the Presidency and Governing Board of the Spanish Association of Communication Research (AE-IC) and written between July and October 2020. This report acts as a summary while making proposals; that is to say, it is “executive”. On the one hand, it gives an overview of the situation for research in the field of communication in Spain, gathering numerous reflections given by several dozens of researchers and members of AE-IC. On the other, the Scientific Policy Presentation proposes to stimulate or even “provoke” internal debate within the heart of AE-IC at a time when it is clearly perceived that the sphere of communication sciences has reached a notable level of maturity. Finally, those presenting it are attempting to gather the main concerns of a large part of the scientific community in the field of communication sciences in order to build future consensuses that are as broad as possible by presenting sixteen recommendations on scientific policy.

COVID-19 abruptly halted scientific conferences and seminars in mid-March, forcing the scientific community to either postpone or adapt to a virtual format. We caught up with Carla V. Rothlin, Elina I. Zúñiga, Hongbo Chi, Rino Rappuoli, and Matthew Krummel to find out about the pros and cons of virtual conferences and seminars and how these could change the nature of scientific conferences. Carla (CVR) and Elina (EIZ) established Global ImmunoTalks in April this year; Hongbo (HC) helped organize the Immunometabolism Mini-Symposia series in May and June; Rino (RR) was one of the scientific organizers of the Transforming Vaccinology Keystone, which moved to a virtual format in June; and Matthew (MK) has been organizing Eco Seminars at the University of California, San Francisco since 2019.

Abstract. In this paper we describe the development and application of a new web-based facility, UManSysProp (http://umansysprop.seaes.manchester.ac.uk), for automating predictions of molecular and atmospheric aerosol properties. Current facilities include pure component vapour pressures, critical properties, and sub-cooled densities of organic molecules; activity coefficient predictions for mixed inorganic–organic liquid systems; hygroscopic growth factors and CCN (cloud condensation nuclei) activation potential of mixed inorganic–organic aerosol particles; and absorptive partitioning calculations with/without a treatment of non-ideality. The aim of this new facility is to provide a single point of reference for all properties relevant to atmospheric aerosol that have been checked for applicability to atmospheric compounds where possible. The group contribution approach allows users to upload molecular information in the form of SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System) strings and UManSysProp will automatically extract the relevant information for calculations. Built using open-source chemical informatics, and hosted at the University of Manchester, the facilities are provided via a browser and device-friendly web interface, or can be accessed using the user's own code via a JSON API (application program interface). We also provide the source code for all predictive techniques provided on the site, covered by the GNU GPL (General Public License) license to encourage development of a user community. We have released this via a Github repository (doi:10.5281/zenodo.45143). In this paper we demonstrate its use with specific examples that can be simulated using the web-browser interface.
