Propósito. Dos décadas después de irrumpir como innovación tecnológica, el podcasting se consolida progresivamente como un medio con identidad propia en el ecosistema del audio. En España, los medios autonómicos contribuyen a esta evolución con una oferta propia. El objetivo principal de este estudio es analizar la producción de podcasts nativos en las principales radios públicas autonómicas españolas, con el fin de comprender su papel en la transformación digital de la radio y en la actualización de la función de servicio público. Metodología. Se realizó un análisis de contenido de la oferta en cinco corporaciones autonómicas (3Cat, À Punt Mèdia, EITB, CRTVG y Canal Sur) durante el año 2024. La muestra incluye un total de 121 podcasts originales, considerando variables de producción, géneros, temáticas, idioma, distribución, y comercialización. Resultados y conclusiones. Los hallazgos muestran diferencias significativas entre operadores en volumen de producción, diversidad de géneros y estrategias de lanzamiento. Predomina el macrogénero conversacional, con fuerte presencia de temáticas culturales, educativas y sociales, así como un uso relevante de lenguas cooficiales en la creación de contenidos. La distribución se caracteriza por el acceso abierto en agregadores, aunque emergen iniciativas de plataformas propias. El estudio concluye que el podcasting se consolida como herramienta estratégica para reforzar la misión de servicio público, ampliar la diversidad de voces y fortalecer el vínculo territorial y cultural con las audiencias. Aporte original. Este estudio constituye la primera aproximación sistemática al podcasting en las radios públicas autonómicas españolas, subrayando su dimensión como expresión cultural e identitaria en el nuevo ecosistema sonoro digital.

Assessing journal legitimacy during literature reviews, publication venue selection, and citation verification requires consulting information scattered across multiple incompatible data-sets. This paper introduces Aletheia-Probe, an open-source tool that systematically aggregates curated databases and pattern analysis from multiple authoritative sources to provide transparent, confidence-scored journal assessments. The tool explicitly reports which sources were consulted, what each found, and where evidence conflicts. The tool integrates into research workflows through command-line and programmatic interfaces. It reduces manual assessment overhead while explicitly flagging uncertain cases. We present the tool's architecture, core design principles, and practical integration approach. Comprehensive empirical validation will be presented in forthcoming work.

Reproducibility remains a challenge in machine learning research. While code and data availability requirements have become increasingly common, post-publication verification in journals is still limited and unformalized. This position paper argues that it is plausible for journals and conference proceedings to implement post-publication verification. We propose a modification to ACM pre-publication verification badges that allows independent researchers to submit post-publication code replications to the journal, leading to visible verification badges included in the article metadata. Each article may earn up to two badges, each linked to verified code in its corresponding public repository. We describe the motivation, related initiatives, a formal framework, the potential impact, possible limitations, and alternative views.
Non-prehensile planar manipulation, including pushing and press-and-slide, is critical for diverse robotic tasks, but notoriously challenging due to hybrid contact mechanics, under-actuation, and asymmetric friction limits that traditionally necessitate computationally expensive iterative control. In this paper, we propose a mode-aware framework for planar manipulation with one or two robotic arms based on contact topology selection and reduced-order kinematic modeling. Our core insight is that complex wrench-twist limit surface mechanics can be abstracted into a discrete library of physically intuitive models. We systematically map various single-arm and bimanual contact topologies to simple non-holonomic formulations, e.g. unicycle for simplified press-and-slide motion. By anchoring trajectory generation to these reduced-order models, our framework computes the required object wrench and distributes feasible, friction-bounded contact forces via a direct algebraic allocator. We incorporate manipulator kinematics to ensure long-horizon feasibility and demonstrate our fast, optimization-free approach in simulation across diverse single-arm and bimanual manipulation tasks.

The rapid integration of generative AI into academic writing has prompted widespread policy responses from journals and publishers. However, the effectiveness of these policies remains unclear. Here, we analyze 5,114 journals and over 5.2 million papers to evaluate the real-world impact of AI usage guidelines. We show that despite 70% of journals adopting AI policies (primarily requiring disclosure), researchers' use of AI writing tools has increased dramatically across disciplines, with no significant difference between journals with or without policies. Non-English-speaking countries, physical sciences, and high-OA journals exhibit the highest growth rates. Crucially, full-text analysis on 164k scientific publications reveals a striking transparency gap: Of the 75k papers published since 2023, only 76 (~0.1%) explicitly disclosed AI use. Our findings suggest that current policies have largely failed to promote transparency or restrain AI adoption. We urge a re-evaluation of ethical frameworks to foster responsible AI integration in science.
Assessing journal impact is central to scholarly communication, yet existing open resources rarely capture how collaboration structures and artificial intelligence (AI) research jointly shape venue prestige in biomedicine. We present BioMedJImpact, a large-scale, biomedical-oriented dataset designed to advance journal-level analysis of scientific impact and AI engagement. Built from 1.74 million PubMed Central articles across 2,744 journals, BioMedJImpact integrates bibliometric indicators, collaboration features, and LLM-derived semantic indicators for AI engagement. Specifically, the AI engagement feature is extracted through a reproducible three-stage LLM pipeline that we propose. Using this dataset, we analyze how collaboration intensity and AI engagement jointly influence scientific impact across pre- and post-pandemic periods (2016-2019, 2020-2023). Two consistent trends emerge: journals with higher collaboration intensity, particularly those with larger and more diverse author teams, tend to achieve greater citation impact, and AI engagement has become an increasingly strong correlate of journal prestige, especially in quartile rankings. To further validate the three-stage LLM pipeline we proposed for deriving the AI engagement feature, we conduct human evaluation, confirming substantial agreement in AI relevance detection and consistent subfield classification. Together, these contributions demonstrate that BioMedJImpact serves as both a comprehensive dataset capturing the intersection of biomedicine and AI, and a validated methodological framework enabling scalable, content-aware scientometric analysis of scientific impact and innovation dynamics.

We present NewsBench, a novel evaluation framework to systematically assess the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) for editorial capabilities in Chinese journalism. Our constructed benchmark dataset is focused on four facets of writing proficiency and six facets of safety adherence, and it comprises manually and carefully designed 1,267 test samples in the types of multiple choice questions and short answer questions for five editorial tasks in 24 news domains. To measure performances, we propose different GPT-4 based automatic evaluation protocols to assess LLM generations for short answer questions in terms of writing proficiency and safety adherence, and both are validated by the high correlations with human evaluations. Based on the systematic evaluation framework, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of ten popular LLMs which can handle Chinese. The experimental results highlight GPT-4 and ERNIE Bot as top performers, yet reveal a relative deficiency in journalistic safety adherence in creative writing tasks. Our findings also underscore the need for enhanced ethical guidance in machine-generated journalistic content, marking a step forward in aligning LLMs with journalistic standards and safety considerations.
DRAM cells are susceptible to Data-Disturbance Errors (DDE), which can be exploited by an attacker to compromise system security. Rowhammer is a well-known DDE vulnerability that occurs when a row is repeatedly activated. Rowhammer can be mitigated by tracking aggressor rows inside DRAM (in-DRAM) or at the Memory Controller (MC). Row-Press (RP) is a new DDE vulnerability that occurs when a row is kept open for a long time. RP significantly reduces the number of activations required to induce an error, thus breaking existing RH solutions. Prior work on Explicit Row-Press mitigation, ExPress, requires the memory controller to limit the maximum row-open-time, and redesign existing Rowhammer solutions with reduced Rowhammer threshold. Unfortunately, ExPress incurs significant performance and storage overheads, and being a memory controller-based solution, it is incompatible with in-DRAM trackers. In this paper, we propose Implicit Row-Press mitigation (ImPress), which does not restrict row-open-time, is compatible with memory controller-based and in-DRAM solutions and does not reduce the tolerated Rowhammer threshold. ImPress treats a row open for a specified time as equivalent to an activation. We design ImPress by developing a Unified Charge-Loss Model, which combines the net effect of both Rowhammer and Row-Press for arbitrary patterns. We analyze both controller-based (Graphene and PARA) and in-DRAM trackers (Mithril and MINT). We show that ImPress makes Rowhammer solutions resilient to Row-Press transparently, without affecting the Rowhammer threshold.
Media transparency has been seen as an important principle in media policy and regulation for a long time. Overall, this study attempts to offer three contributions. First, it provides theoretical conceptualization of transparency as a relational concept involving three collective actors – media, state and citizens. Second, it introduces the concept of “reciprocal transparency”. Third, it explores regulatory trends and possibilities concerning reciprocal transparency under the proposed draft of the European Media Freedom Act (EMFA).

Accurately assigning the document type of review articles in citation index databases like Web of Science(WoS) and Scopus is important. This study aims to investigate the document type assignation of review articles in web of Science, Scopus and Journals' website in a large scale. 27,616 papers from 160 journals from 10 review journal series indexed in SCI are analyzed. The document types of these papers labeled on journals' website, and assigned by WoS and Scopus are retrieved and compared to determine the assigning accuracy and identify the possible reasons of wrongly assigning. For the document type labeled on the website, we further differentiate them into explicit review and implicit review based on whether the website directly indicating it is review or not. We find that WoS and Scopus performed similarly, with an average precision of about 99% and recall of about 80%. However, there were some differences between WoS and Scopus across different journal series and within the same journal series. The assigning accuracy of WoS and Scopus for implicit reviews dropped significantly. This study provides a reference for the accuracy of document type assigning of review articles in WoS and Scopus, and the identified pattern for assigning implicit reviews may be helpful to better labeling on website, WoS and Scopus.

El ejercicio del periodismo experimentó una profunda y continua renovación en la prensa no diaria española durante los años de la transición política a la democracia. En este artículo se presentan las interpretaciones de esos cambios a partir de la visión de los profesionales que producían los proyectos editoriales. Los resultados han sido obtenidos a partir de grupos focales de discusión con profesionales de la comunicación en activo en publicaciones no diarias de la época (1975-1982). Los focus groups permiten concluir que la formación, muchas veces autodidacta, de los profesionales influye en las consideraciones deontológicas que supone la indistinción entre periodista y militante, característica del periodo de la dictadura y de cambio político. Como consecuencia de ese estilo de periodismo, la prensa no diaria se disputa la hegemonía de los medios del movimiento en la formación de la opinión pública. Sin embargo, según estos testimonios, la mayoría de los proyectos editoriales no diarios con objetivos políticos no sobreviven a la llegada de una prensa diaria profesionalizadora después de 1976, ejercida mayormente por profesionales formados en escuelas y universidades de Periodismo.

Abstract. At this stage of society's development, packaging is perceived as one of the main means of forming the consumer space, an object of communication between the manufacturer, seller and consumer. The history of printed packaging dates back to the third century. Packaging as an object of graphic design, included in the sphere of modern marketing – only the second hundred years. The United States, Germany, Japan, and Russia are leading the way in this process. Despite its long history, domestic packaging has not been sufficiently studied. Its artistic component, which was updated during the period of design training, remained out of the attention of researchers.
The topic of this article is devoted to current development trends in the field of packaging and packaging materials. The authors consider and theoretically justify the possibility of improving the packaging process in Kazakhstan using modern technologies, including 3D printing methods. The authors conduct a comparative analysis of foreign and Kazakh packagingbased on specific data, they note that the packaging of domestic products does not meet international standards, and there are significant shortcomings in the protective, aesthetic, consumer, and environmental properties of packaging.
The purpose of the article is to study the practice and development trends of modern packaging, as well as problems related to the peculiarities of packaging functioning in marketing conditions. The article analyzes the relevance and characteristics of the packaging process. The practical significance of the research is that the authors, by analyzing trends in the development of the packaging process abroad, identify ways to introduce new practical approaches to packaging in Kazakhstan.
The article reviews materials on this topic, studies articles and scientific works of famous foreign and domestic scientists: I.S. Stefanov, N.N. Poliyansky, K.E. Petrov, V.Sitnikov, Zh.Bazilov, Sh.Eleukenov, B.Omarova.
This research is relevant for University teachers, printing specialists, students and young scientists who are engaged in packaging as an effective tool for product promotion.
Public opinion in Spain has historically been opposed to nuclear energy. The atomic sector points to a lack of information and awareness among the population as the main causes of this rejection. Bridges between public opinion and the atomic industry must be built with transparent information by those authorities with a
responsibility to inform (be they the government, the regulatory body, or a nuclear power plant) so that citizens are protected in case of unforeseen events, and to ensure they understand the advantages and disadvantages of this energy source. In this sense, the legislation on Nuclear Communication considers transparency to be the fundamental basis for this interaction with society. In this article we review the international, European and national regulations to have a clear idea of the projection and influence that this regulation has on the communication management of these industries.

Effects of steel alloying elements on the formation of the surface oxide layer of hot-dip galvanized press hardened steel after austenitization annealing were examined with various advanced microscopy and spectroscopy techniques. The main oxides on top of the original thin Al2O3 layer, originating from the primary galvanizing process, are identified as ZnO and (Mn,Zn)Mn2O4 spinel. For some of the investigated steel alloys, a non-uniform, several nanometer thick Cr enriched, additional film was found at the Al2O3 layer. At a sufficiently high concentration, Cr can act as a substitute for Al during annealing, strengthening and regenerating the original Al2O3 layer with Cr2O3. Further analysis with secondary ion mass spectrometry allowed a reliable distinction between ZnO and Zn(OH)2.

The effects of Open Access (OA) upon journal performance are investigated. The key research question holds: How does the citation impact and publication output of journals switching ('flipping') from non-OA to Gold-OA develop after their switch to Gold-OA? A review is given of the literature, with an emphasis on studies dealing with flipping journals. Two study sets with 119 and 100 flipping journals, derived from two different OA data sources (DOAJ and OAD), are compared with two control groups, one based on a standard bibliometric criterion, and a second controlling for a journal's national orientation. Comparing post-switch indicators with pre-switch ones in paired T-tests, evidence was obtained of an OA Citation advantage but not of an OA Publication Advantage. Shifts in the affiliation countries of publishing and citing authors are characterized in terms of countries' income class and geographical world region. Suggestions are made for qualitative follow-up studies to obtain more insight into OA flipping or reverse-flipping
In engineering applications almost all processes are described with the help of models. Especially forming machines heavily rely on mathematical models for control and condition monitoring. Inaccuracies during the modeling, manufacturing and assembly of these machines induce model uncertainty which impairs the controller's performance. In this paper we propose an approach to identify model uncertainty using parameter identification, optimal design of experiments and hypothesis testing. The experimental setup is characterized by optimal sensor positions such that specific model parameters can be determined with minimal variance. This allows for the computation of confidence regions in which the real parameters or the parameter estimates from different test sets have to lie. We claim that inconsistencies in the estimated parameter values, considering their approximated confidence ellipsoids as well, cannot be explained by data uncertainty but are indicators of model uncertainty. The proposed method is demonstrated using a component of the 3D Servo Press, a multi-technology forming machine that combines spindles with eccentric servo drives.
El objetivo del presente artículo es comprender el sentido de las políticas de comunicación respecto del canal provincial de televisión por parte de los gobiernos de la provincia de Río Negro desde la finalización de la Unión Transitoria de Empresas con Artear hasta 2015. En efecto, en 2009 se da por finalizado ese vínculo y comienza un proceso de re-estatización de la emisora que pondrá de manifiesto las tensiones entre la constitución de un servicio público o la utilización gubernamental del único canal de televisión de aire. En este marco, analizamos esas políticas en función de tres dimensiones: la constitución de los órganos de dirección, la programación y la financiación.

Teşebbüs-i şahsi fikrini savunan Osmanlı aydınları 19.
yüzyılda Osmanlı devletinin iktisadi olarak Batı devletleri karşısında geri
kalmaların farkına vardıklarından Batı’daki gelişmeleri takip etmeye
başlamışlar ve Avrupa devletlerinin iktisadi olarak gelişmesinin arkasındaki
ana nedenleri tespit etmeye koyulmuşlardır. Aydınlar, Batı’da halkın teşebbüs-i
şahsi fikriyle hareket ederek özel girişim faaliyetlerinde sa’y u amel
ettiklerini ve çalışma psikolojisinin ekonominin tüm sektörlerinde önemli bir
rol oynadığını gözlemlemişlerdir. Bu nedenle sa’y u amel düşüncesini Osmanlı
halkına aşılamak için çabalamışlardır. Bu doğrultuda halkın sa’y u amel etmesiyle
ülkedeki ekonomik sıkıntıların ortadan kalkacağını ve üretimin artacağını ifade
etmişlerdir. Aydınlar halka ulaşmak ve onları eğitmek amacıyla gazetelerden
faydalanmışlar, dönemin gazetelerinde halkı bilgilendirmek ve onlara modern
fikirleri aşılamak amacıyla birçok yazı kaleme almışlardır. Bu çalışmanın
konusu olan sa’y u amel üzerine de aydınlar dönemin basınında birçok yazı
kaleme almışlardır. Bu yazılarla halkın çalışmaya olan rağbeti artırılmak
istenmiş ve halkın teşebbüs-i şahsi fikri doğrultusunda çalışmaları gerektiği
ifade edilmiştir. Ayrıca halkın maddi sa’y olarak çalışmasının yanında onların
akli sa’ya da önem vermelerini ve bugünkü modern teknolojilerin akli sa’y
sonucu oluşturulduğunu dile getirmişlerdir. Osmanlı devletinin kalkınması ve ülkede
teknolojinin gelişmesi için halkın akli sa’yini kuvvetlendirmesini
istemişlerdir. Bu çalışmada Osmanlı basınında görülen sa’y u amel yazıları
tespit edilmiş, çıkan yazıların analizi yapılmıştır.
