Trust in Citizen Science Research: A Case Study of the Groundwater Education Through Water Evaluation & Testing Program1

Thornton, Teresa and Jessica Leahy, 2012. Trust in Citizen Science Research: A Case Study of the Groundwater Education Through Water Evaluation & Testing Program. Journal of the American Water Resources Association (JAWRA) 48(5): 1032‐1040. DOI: 10.1111/j.1752‐1688.2012.00670.x Abstract: Data collected by citizen scientists, including K‐12 students, have been validated by the scientific community through quality assurance/quality control tests and publication of results in peer‐reviewed journal articles. However, if citizen science data are to be used by local communities, research is needed to determine which factors contribute to local community member trust in citizen science data, and how to increase the benefits and use of citizen science programs. This article describes the Groundwater Education Through Water Evaluation & Testing (GET WET!) program that employs middle and high school students, state and local government employees, environmental nongovernmental organization leaders, business representatives, college faculty and students, and other volunteers as citizen scientists to create a database of groundwater quality for use as a baseline for local water resources management. Data were gathered through semi‐structured interviews pre‐ and post‐involvement from 40 participants in this citizen science program conducted in five states in the northeastern United States. Results indicate that factors of trust are largely based on interpersonal trust and familiarity. We conclude with recommendations and future research that may improve local community member willingness to trust citizen science data generated by students.

基于FP-growth算法的高校群体性突发事件关联规则分析

为有效预防高校群体性突发事件,借助数据挖掘关联规则挖掘理论,在分析高校突发事件关键诱发因素基础上,构建基于FP-growth算法的高校群体性突发事件关联规则挖掘模型。并将模型应用于事务数据库数据的分析中,研究关键诱发因素间关联关系,实现强关联规则输出。研究结果表明,多数高校群体性突发事件的发生与日期没有必然联系;内部管理因素、内外部突发事件、内部突发事件、政治因素是诱发高校群体性突发事件的主要因素,且外部因素导致的群体性突发事件影响力远远超过内部因素的影响力;当突发事件发生后,应急处置的有效性是决定突发事件影响力的重要因素。

Skin reactions to latex in dental professionals – first Croatian data

Purpose. To determine the prevalence of undesirable skin reactions to latex in dental professionals and students of the School of Dental Medicine in Zagreb, Croatia. Methods. Our research included 444 participants, of which 200 agreed to undergo a skin prick test (SPT). All participants answered a questionnaire in which we asked about incidence of skin lesions, duration of occupational exposure to latex, localization of skin lesions and symptoms. Statistical analysis of the questionnaire and test results was then carried out. Results. Of the total 444 participants surveyed, 249 (56.1%) reported lesions on their skin (professionals 64.8%, students 6.1–58.5%). From the questionnaire, 239 (96.0%) respondents reported lesions on the hands and fingers, mostly in the form of erythema (37.0%) and occasional dryness of skin (29.0%). Positive SPT results were found in 14 (7.0%) out of the 200 respondents who underwent the test. Conclusions. While a large number of subjects (56.1%) reported skin lesions when using latex products at their workplace, the SPT test was positive only in 7.0%. The results show that the prevalence of self-reported skin lesions was significantly related to the length of occupational exposure, with a substantial effect size (p?<?0.001; V?=?0.334).     

基于SPSS软件对大学生寝室用电安全意识的分析 ——以四川师范大学为例

为探究大学生寝室用电安全意识的现状及分析性别和年级两个变量对其的影响,本文采用问卷调查的方法对大学生进行调查。调查步骤分为预试问卷编制、预试、问卷可靠度分析、正式问卷确定和正式调查。利用SPSS24.0软件对调查结果进行独立样本t检验、单因子独立样本变异数分析(ANOVA分析)等操作,使分析结果更加科学和准确。最终得出结论:大学生寝室用电安全意识在安全认知知识方面较为深刻,在安全认知体验方面有一定的察觉能力,在安全认知监测方面还急需加强学习。另外,性别因素对安全意识有一定影响,年级因素对安全意识没有显著影响。并根据以上结论提出提了高大学生用电安全意识的对策。     

绿色大学建设中的生态足迹

生态足迹分析法是评价绿色大学建设水平最好的指标之一.生态足迹分析法有综合法和成分法2种.本文简要介绍了生态足迹成分法的基本原理和算法,并以东北大学为例将该方法应用大学校园的研究.结果表明,东北大学2003年的生态足迹为24787hm2,即需要约25000hm²的生态生产性土地支持学校的各类消费并吸纳所产生的废弃物.其生态效率(即单位生态生产性土地可支持的学生数)为0.94人·hm^-2.生态足迹中,能源消费的足迹最大,占总足迹的2/3多;食物消费和固态垃圾次之,分别占总足迹的21.9%和5.7%.
