An analysis of the effects of sharing research data, code, and preprints on citations
Calls to make scientific research more open have gained traction with a range of societal stakeholders. Open Science practices include but are not limited to the early sharing of results via preprints and openly sharing outputs such as data and code to make research more reproducible and extensible. Existing evidence shows that adopting Open Science practices has effects in several domains. In this study, we investigate whether adopting one or more Open Science practices leads to significantly …

Differentially Private Release of Israel's National Registry of Live Births
In February 2024, Israel's Ministry of Health released microdata of live births in Israel in 2014. The dataset is based on Israel's National Registry of Live Births and offers substantial value in multiple areas, such as scientific research and policy-making. At the same time, the data was processed so as to protect the privacy of 2014's mothers and newborns. The release was co-designed by the authors together with stakeholders from both inside and outside the Ministry of Health. This paper pre…

Abstract: As digital technology becomes increasingly embedded in daily life, its impact on social interactions has become a critical area of study, particularly concerning cyberbullying. This meta-analysis investigates the dual role of technology in cyberbullying both as a catalyst that can exacerbate the issue and as a potential solution. Cyberbullying, characterized by the use of digital platforms to harass, threaten, or humiliate individuals, poses significant challenges to mental and social wellbeing. This research synthesizes empirical findings from diverse studies to evaluate how innovative technological interventions, such as content monitoring algorithms, anonymous reporting systems, and educational initiatives integrated within digital platforms, contribute to reducing the prevalence of cyberbullying. The study focuses on the effectiveness of these interventions in various settings, highlighting the need for adaptive strategies that respond to the dynamic digital landscape. By offering a comprehensive overview of the current state of cyberbullying and the efficacy of technology based solutions, this analysis provides valuable insights for stakeholders, including educators, policymakers, and technology developers, aiming to enhance digital wellbeing and create safer online environments. The findings underscore the importance of leveraging technology not only as a medium of communication but also as a strategic tool to combat the negative impacts of cyberbullying, thus promoting a more inclusive and respectful digital world.

ML-based handover prediction over a real O-RAN deployment using RAN Intelligent controller
O-RAN introduces intelligent and flexible network control in all parts of the network. The use of controllers with open interfaces allow us to gather real time network measurements and make intelligent/informed decision. The work in this paper focuses on developing a use-case for open and reconfigurable networks to investigate the possibility to predict handover events and understand the value of such predictions for all stakeholders that rely on the communication network to conduct their busin…

Financial professionals should be required to handle our retirement money with the utmost care, putting investors’ interests first.
But that type of care comes in degrees, and deciding exactly how far advisers should go has been the center of heated debate for nearly 15 years,
pitting financial industry stakeholders, who argue their existing regulatory framework is enough,
against the U.S. Labor Department, the retirement plan regulator, which says there are gaping holes.

Labor Department Proposes New Fiduciary Rule to Protect Investors
The Labor Department’s latest push for a new fiduciary rule would protect investors’ retirement savings and require financial services providers to change.

"The findings demonstrate that repository shutdown does happen and can result in permanent data loss… Data #reuse & #citation are increasingly promoted by journals, funders and other stakeholders. If these practices become more common, data loss might pose a threat to the permanence of the scholarly…

Do disappearing data repositories pose a threat to open science and the scholarly record?
Research data repositories play a vital role in ensuring research is reproducible, replicable and reusable. Yet, the infrastructure supporting them can be impermanent. Drawing on a new dataset Doro…
