Summary: A bibliometric analysis of aesthetics research publications from 1970 to 2018 found a significant increase in research output and citations over time, with diverse research areas clustered within the aesthetics literature. This suggests that aesthetics should be viewed as a federation of research traditions rather than a unified field with common problems and research strategies.

Summary: Relational reasoning is a complex form of human cognition involving the evaluation of relations between mental representations of information. The Multidimensional Relational Reasoning Task (MRRT) systematically varies an array of stimulus properties within a set of relational reasoning problems, demonstrating that reasoning problems containing a greater number of premises as well as multidimensional relations lead to greater task difficulty. The MRRT has been made publicly available for future research use, along with normative data regarding the relative difficulty of each problem.

Summary: This study aimed to understand how medical learners and educators make sense of less-than-ideal interactions in the clinical learning environment and describe the factors that influenced their perception of maltreatment. The study found that learners and educators have difficulty classifying negative interpersonal interactions unless they are severe and concrete. The differences in how individuals judged these interactions highlight an opportunity for administrative, research, and faculty development intervention.

Summary: Schandry's mental heartbeat tracking task is a widely used measure of interoception, specifically heartbeat perception. The factors contributing to task performance are classified as trait-like characteristics, expectation-related factors, and factors related to participants' task set. Further research is recommended to gain a better understanding of what the task exactly measures.

Summary: The data produced by various services should be stored and managed in an appropriate format for gaining valuable knowledge conveniently. This survey reviews existing methods on mapping semi-structured data and graph data into relational tables, analyzes their major features, and gives a detailed classification of those methods. It also summarizes the merits and demerits of each method, introduces open research challenges, and presents future research directions. The goal is to inspire new mapping approaches and research on mapping multi-model data into relational tables.

Summary: This paper synthesizes empirical evidence on the correlation between social media data counts and visits to natural areas. The analysis reveals a strong correlation for the annual number of visits across multiple sites and for the monthly visits at a single site. Using data from multiple social media sources improves this correlation. However, the impact of social media penetration rate and national park designation on the correlation is still uncertain.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between modal splits and city attributes in 46 cities worldwide. The results show that socio-demographic factors have the highest impact on determining modal splits, while high population density and employment rate are positively associated with low-emission travel modes. Additionally, high gasoline tax and low public transit and taxi fares often discourage private vehicle ownership, while extreme weather conditions can hinder bicycle usage.

Summary: This article argues that data analysis and domain expertise should be seen as complementary knowledge sources and introduces a framework to enhance synergy between the two. The findings suggest that while complex models have higher predictive power, simpler models are sometimes preferred for creating more synergies.

Summary: This article discusses the influence of demographic attributes on people's decision-making, and proposes the viewpoint that meritocratic principles contribute to the persistence of discrimination. The research found that perceived controllability and relevance determine the perceived fairness of demographic attributes, with perceived relevance exerting a stronger impact. The article also provides evidence on how relevance and controllability shape fairness perceptions and subsequently affect selection behaviors. The use of demographic attributes was found to impact employees' psychological safety and job satisfaction.

Summary: The ability to analyze and interpret research data is crucial for the scientific process, and using preprint articles as a pedagogical tool can help students improve this skill. By comparing experts' cognitive approaches with their own, critiquing data, and identifying changes in papers, students gain diverse insights into data presentation, peer review, and scientific publishing. Analysis of preprint articles is a valuable tool for enhancing students' information literacy and understanding of the scientific process.

Summary: There is a discussion on Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and a proposed framework that involves a tendering authority responsible for a common access platform and competitive tendered MaaS consortium bids. The framework aims to provide user choices and ensure a competitive MaaS market by selecting multiple "winners" to cover all multimodal and multi-service products. The tendering authority also defines societal linked key performance indicators (KPIs) connected to rewards for MaaS consortium and subscribers when they show aligned travel behavior changes.

Summary: This paper discusses a new approach to studying the spread of infectious diseases or the impact of the built environment on human health using big data. By maintaining basic parameters and recognizing unique perspectives, researchers can effectively link, search, and interpret diverse data. This strategy can facilitate data linkage and predictions, and support public health efforts, while also acknowledging the limitations of data linkage and predictive power.

Summary: The current conceptualization and implementation of Open Science do not adequately consider epistemic diversity within research. Through three case studies, it is shown that Open Science tends to favor certain forms of inquiry, exacerbating divides within and across systems of practice and overlooking important sources and forms of epistemic diversity.

Summary: In recent years, accelerating the rate of genetic gain has become a key objective in plant breeding for the Global South. This concept relies on new data technologies and aims to enhance the cost efficiency of breeding programs. This paper explores the implications of pursuing genetic gain as an indicator of agricultural development, including changes in knowledge-control regimes of plant breeding, social and political consequences for smallholder farmers, and climate-adaptive agriculture. It concludes that genetic gain should not be considered the primary indicator of agricultural development without considering other key areas and tools to evaluate the pros and cons of its adoption.
