Crowd-sourcing observations of volcanic eruptions during the 2021 Fagradalsfjall and Cumbre Vieja events

Fabian B. Wadsworth, Edward W. Llewellin, Jamie Farquharson, Janina K. Gillies, Ariane Loisel, Leon Frey, Evgenia Ilyinskaya, Thor Thordarson, Samantha Tramontano, Einat Lev, Matthew J. Pankhurst, Alejandro Galdeano Rull, Maria Asensio-Ramos, Nemesio M. Perez, Pedro A. Hernandez, David Calvo, M. Carmen Solana, Ulrich Kueppers, Alejandro Polo Santabarbara

Summary: This study examines the scientific possibilities of crowdsourced observations during volcanic eruptions, using the 2021 Fagradalsfjall (Iceland) and Cumbre Vieja (Canary Islands) events as examples. The unprecedented high-resolution imagery and videos captured by tourists, volcano enthusiasts, and media organizations during these eruptions suggest a new era for observational volcanology, where the abundance of eruption imagery can be utilized for scientific purposes.

Dispatch optimisation in O2O on-demand service with crowd-sourced and in-house drivers

Jiawei Tao, Hongyan Dai, Hai Jiang, Weiwei Chen

Summary: This paper investigates three types of workforce in O2O platforms (in-house, full-time, part-time drivers), analyzes the challenges in order assignment and routing management under different driver preferences, and proposes optimization methods. It is found that among all the parameters designed for the O2O on-demand delivery system, the maximally allowed number of orders per trip and the detour proportion are critical. Additionally, incentive mechanisms for experienced and inexperienced drivers are different due to their service capacities.

Machine Learning in Mobile Crowd Sourcing: A Behavior-Based Recruitment Model

Menatalla Abououf, Shakti Singh, Hadi Otrok, Rabeb Mizouni, Ernesto Damiani

Summary: The selection of the right crowd in mobile crowd sourcing systems is crucial for high task completion rates. Traditional reputation-based selection frameworks may lead to unfair selection of workers. This study proposes a recruitment system based on behavioral profiling, using machine learning to predict workers' probability of performing a given task, and a group-based selection mechanism to maximize task recruitment quality.

Seismic Fragility Assessment of Inner Peripheries of Italy through Digital Crowd-Sourcing Technologies

Antonio Sandoli, Gian Piero Lignola, Andrea Prota, Giovanni Fabbrocino

Summary: The assessment of the structural and seismic fragility of minor historical centers in Italy's Inner Peripheries is crucial for preserving the historical and cultural features of the country's building stock. This research investigates the use of digital crowd-sourcing technologies for large-scale probabilistic structural safety assessment. By collecting data and information from virtual inspections, historical databases, maps, and urban plans, the research identifies clusters of buildings in the area of interest and determines their levels of seismic fragility through the development of fragility curves. The proposed approach provides a satisfactory initial screening and helps prioritize zones for further investigations or structural interventions to mitigate seismic risk.

Consumers' paradoxical motives of co-creation: From self-service technology to crowd-sourcing platform

Xueqin Wang, Yiik Diew Wong, Feng Liu, Kum Fai Yuen

Summary: This study aims to explore and compare consumers' motives to co-create using technological platforms in both private and social contexts. The study data (n = 500) were collected using a questionnaire survey and analysed using structural equation modelling. The findings suggest that the paradoxical motives of empowerment and shared responsibility significantly contribute to consumers' willingness to co-create. The communal setting of C-S platforms tends to suppress consumers' empowerment motive, making responsibility-sharing the dominant motive. These results validate the moderating effect of co-creation contexts on the perceived technological paradox.

Tracing drugs from discovery to disposal

Hossein Omidian, Jafar Razmara, Sepideh Parvizpour, Hamed Tabrizchi, Yosef Masoudi-Sobhanzadeh, Yadollah Omidi

Summary: The life cycle of a drug starts from its discovery and ends when it is disposed. Various entities such as drug discovery companies, manufacturers, regulatory agencies, suppliers, pharmacies, patients, and healthcare providers are involved in this process. Transparency, traceability, automation, and data security play crucial roles in ensuring effective and safe transactions among all parties. However, challenges like scalability, energy consumption, regulations, standards, and complexity hinder the adoption of new technology that can fulfill these requirements. This article highlights how blockchain technology can track, accelerate, and enhance the efficiency of complex operations like pharmaceutical development.

COVID-19 therapeutics: Challenges and directions for the future

Philip C. Robinson, David F. L. Liew, Helen L. Tanner, John R. Grainger, Raymond A. Dwek, Ronald B. Reisler, Lawrence Steinman, Marc Feldmann, Ling-Pei Ho, Tracy Hussell, Paul Moss, Duncan Richards, Nicole Zitzmann

Summary: The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and the resulting COVID-19 pandemic have had a significant impact on global society. While substantial investment in life sciences has led to rapid advancements in viral characterization, testing, and the development of highly effective vaccines, drug treatments for COVID-19 have been limited. Innovative approaches in clinical trials and repurposing existing drugs have saved lives, but there is still a need for further development of therapeutics. It is important to address the challenges and unmet needs in order to prepare for future pandemics and ensure the cost-effective development and equitable distribution of new therapeutics.

Summary: This systematic review surveyed published literature on the use of keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) as a challenge agent in humans. It found that there is currently no standardized approach to the design and conduct of studies using KLH. The review identified issues with incomplete description of challenge regimens and lack of utilization of mechanism-relevant endpoints. Future standardization and methodological development is needed to optimize drug development decisions.
