2020 Citizen Science Event Book: #LongCovid

The Chinese Version "2020 年公民科學事件簿:#長新冠(#Long Covid) ": <a href="https://pansci.asia/archives/370282">https://pansci.asia/archives/370282</a>The English full text : <a href="https://details-or-fragments.blogspot.com/2023/12/LCEventBook.html">https://details-or-fragments.blogspot.com/2023/12/LCEventBook.html</a>Long Covid comes from a "patient-created term" in the spring of 2020. On October 6, 2021, the WHO announced its official definition. Although it used "post-COVID-19 condition", the Long Covid is still the most common term. This bottom-up grassroots movement of public participation in scientific concepts in online communities has reached the social conscience of the public and driven scientific development, and finally led to the establishment of relevant policies and scientific progress. This is what sociologists called "citizen science". <ul><li>How did it all begin?</li><li>Patient symptom stories: COVID-19 affects more than just the lungs</li><li>Long COVID Citizen Campaign: Responses from health services</li><li>The openness of online social media</li></ul>The positive actions of these online community and the collective consensus reached are enough to convincingly prove to medical institutions, including the WHO, that Long Covid is a real disease despite the lack of traditional evidence-based medicine. A group of online citizens collectively wrote the first textbook on Long Covid in 2020. At this moment, we are witnessing the mass power of the online community, which not only promotes real changes in the real world, ensures recognition of medical care supply, but also stimulate a new scientific research stage.

MOBO: The MOvie and BOok reviews dataset

The MOBO dataset. The MOvie and BOok reviews dataset is a collection made up of movie and book reviews, paired with their related plots. The reviews come from different publicly available datasets: the Stanford's IMDB movie reviews [1], the GoodReads [2] and the Amazon reviews dataset [3]. With the help of 15 annotators, we further labeled more than 18,000 reviews' sentences (~6000 per corpus), marking the sentence polarity (Positive, Negative), or whether a sentence describes its corresponding movie/book Plot, or none of the above (None). In the <code>dataset</code> folder, we have shared an excerpt of the annotated sentences for each dataset.

Polifonia Corpus - Books Module Metadata - French Language (Full)

Censored Books during the Portuguese Estado Novo: Transcription Dataset of the Censorship Commission's Card Files (1934-74)

This spreadsheet contributes to a new bibliography of censored books under the Portuguese Estado Novo dictatorial regime. It contains the transcription of the data fields of 1,015 card files of censored books, which are indexed by author surname in letters A and B. These files are available at the Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo, in Lisbon, Portugal (PT/TT/SNI-DSC/7, "Fichas de Autores de Obras Proibidas e Autorizadas", <a href="https://digitarq.arquivos.pt/details?id=4326912">https://digitarq.arquivos.pt/details?id=4326912</a>). The card files document data about the books censored by the Estado Novo Censorship Commission (1934-74). Data fields include file number, book report number, decision, date, author, title, origin, destination, observations, notices, and author or book process number. All card files have been photographed from very poor-quality photocopies and manually transcribed by Álvaro Seiça during 2020/21. Letters C-Z are ongoing work and will be added to this dataset. This project received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement no. 793147, ARTDEL.

Books of hours as codified compilations of compilations: dataset and code

Dataset, code to produce the figures, additional figures and visualizations for the following contribution: Stutzmann, Dominique, and Chevalier, Louis, "Books of hours as codified compilations of compilations Textual networks and hybrid liturgical uses", Journal of Historical Network Research 9 (2023) 146 – 199, doi:10.25517/jhnr.v9i1.139 <pre><code>@article{stutzmann_books_2023, title = {Books of hours as codified compilations of compilations {Textual} networks and hybrid liturgical uses}, volume = {9}, doi = {10.25517/jhnr.v9i1.139}, language = {en}, journal = {Journal of Historical Network Research}, author = {Stutzmann, Dominique and Chevalier, Louis}, year = {2023}, pages = {146--199}, } </code></pre> Books of hours were the medieval best-seller. The referenced article aims to change how we study the textual content of books of hours by tackling the most common texts at a large scale. Intended for lay people and imitating the model of liturgical books, books of hours contain a core of votive offices and appear to have a very standardized content. The choice and the order of the chants, readings and orations may vary within the offices according to not only the liturgical destination, but also the place of production, the target export market, and the choices of the client. Variations are therefore difficult to characterize and analyze. Here, we focus on an analysis of the Hours of the Virgin and the Office of the Dead as both compilations and networks of compilations. At the level of texts and liturgical uses, we highlight and study textual commonalities based on geography or other historical links (e.g. Germany, the Dominican order and Southern France for the Hours of the Virgin, Flanders and Scandinavia, Poitiers and Bordeaux, Auxerre and Bayeux for the Office of the Dead). Since patrons or copyists could also modify the expected contents, our last part analyses the uses by Utrecht and Bruges, and how uses specific to one institution may either be faithfully reproduced or give way to hybridization. This phenomenon is characterized, for example, by changes between pieces from another use into a well-identified set.

Historical uncertainty in Gregory of Tours's History of the Franks (book 7)

Our goal was to create a research dataset based on geographical and chronological uncertainties in the work of Gregory of Tours's *History of the Franks* (book 7). We used and modified a topology of geographical and chronological uncertainty based on a rudimentary schema that would be universal when analysing an historical source : Chronological : * uncertain dating * uncertain method of dating * lack of dating * precise dating Geographical:  * uncertain location * general location (region, country) * lack of location  * precise location After working on book 7 for a while, that schema was reworked as those 9 types of uncertainty :  Chronological : * uncertain_dating * uncertain_method_dating * event_dating_null * precise_dating Geographical:  * uncertain_location * general_location  * event_location_null * uncertain_method_location * precise_location The geographical and chronological focus makes it possible to identify where and when, in a source, the historical uncertainty is higher.  Using python, that dataset was then automatically cleaned and enhanced with bounding box based on geo-mapping information for the entries of geographical uncertainty. Those were classified as either precise_location or general_location.  For example, anything relating to a city general area (like  "in the Rouen area") creates a general_location bounding box encompassing the *current* geographical space occupied by the municipality of Rouen (in the format 'LongMin', 'LongMax', 'LatMin', 'LatMax' in a single column "bbox"). Anything described as a unique point in space (like "in Paris") creates a precise_location and its corresponding lat/long system of coordinates.  This is an arbitrary way to translate slightly undefined geographical concepts of uncertainty into formal data, but at least it can be fully explained explicitly.    Translation used: Tours G. et alii, The history of the franks, Penguin Books Limited, 1974, <a href="https://books.google.ch/books?id=4Lx-M2RHGgoC">https://books.google.ch/books?id=4Lx-M2RHGgoC</a>.

Explore maps as you read a comic book

This repository contains three documents accompanying the article 'Explore maps as you read a comic book. The first document compiles several types of breaks encountered in various pan-scalar maps. Each type is also assigned a progression note after an analysis of their effects on the user. The next table illustrates an example of good generalisation for each of the hydrographic patterns observed in the article. This generalisation is based on three key concepts of progressivity, promoting a continuity of meaning, coherence, and rhythm. The final document represents a scale master inspired by the methodology of (Brewer and Buttenfield, 2007). In the article, we demonstrate how to adapt it to pan-scalar maps to better visualize sequences, as well as two types of rhythms: map cadence and abstraction cadence.

Percentage of Population Who Read Books In European Regions

The indicator is created from the Eurobarometer 79.2 survey’s <a href="https://search.gesis.org/research_data/ZA5688">GESIS datafile</a> using regional subsamples. The regional subsamples were recoded to the NUTS 2016 regional boundary definitions with the <a href="https://regions.dataobservatory.eu/">regions</a> R package. In the larger countries, where only NUTS1 level information was present (for example, in Germany and the United Kingdom), we imputed the NUTS1 territorial average values to the constituent NUTS2 regions. A ‘dirty averaging’ was used to create regional averages, with scale national post-stratification weights to an expected value of 1. Al respondents who read at least one book in the previous 12 months were coded to have read a book. This indicator was used in the Balázs Bodó, Dániel Antal, Zoltán Puha: <a href="https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0242509">Can scholarly pirate libraries bridge the knowledge access gap?</a> An empirical study on the structural conditions of book piracy in global and European academia, in Plos ONE (Published: December 3, 2020.)
