When developing new products, tools or services, one always need to think about the end users to ensure a wide-spread adoption. While this applies equally to services developed at higher education institutions, sometimes these services are driven by policies and not by needs of end users. This policy-driven approach…

Peer support is increasingly positioned as a scalable response to gaps in mental health care, particularly in digitally mediated settings, yet what counts as peer support and how responsibility is distributed remain unevenly defined in practice. Drawing on interviews with peer supporters, we show how lived experience…

> Abstract. Production operation of large distributed computing infrastructures (DCI) still requires a lot of human intervention to reach acceptable quality of service. This may be achievable for scientific communities with solid IT support, but it remains a show-stopper for others. Some application execution…

'Rosemary Ricciardelli' 'Gregory S. Anderson' 'Heidi Cramm' 'R. Nicholas Carleton' 'Paul B. Tchounwou'] Public safety personnel (PSP) are frequently exposed to potentially psychologically traumatic events (PPTEs) which can impact mental health. To help mitigate the negative effects of PPTEs, PSP commonly rely on peer…

Mother to child transmission (MTCT) of HIV is the major source of HIV infection among children under the age of 15 years. Prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) service has been an important strategy in preventing HIV infections in infants. However, improving PMTCT service uptake and continuum of care still…

Third-party developers (TPDs) often turn to online communities for support when they can't get immediate responses from the platform. Twitch, as a leading live streaming platform, attracted many TPDs and formed an online support community on Discord. This study explores TPDs' support practices via mixed method (a topic…

For decades, life science researchers have had cost-free, unrestricted access to data through online databases. However, the sustainability of even well-established resources was already tenuous, and abrupt changes in science funding in the United States seems poised to exacerbate these challenges. This study employed…

Machine learning models are transforming data-driven research across scientific disciplines, yet their deployment as accessible and reliable web services remains a significant challenge. We introduce the NERDD framework, a scalable, maintainable, and secure microservices platform designed to support the sustainable…

The institutional facility had a well organised set up, highly efficient on their existing scale of operations. It was funded by a major strategic award, and therefore was not exposed to high pressure of becoming sustainable in the short-term. All service contracts were funded by the major grant funding body, as was…

The increasing importance and predictive power of modern molecular modeling, driven by physics- and machine learning-based methods, necessitates a new collaborative architecture to replace the isolated, traditional model of software development. The traditional approach often led to redundant engineering effort, high…

Vat photopolymerization (VP) is widely used for additive manufacturing due to its speed, precision, and material versatility. However, traditional support structures limit printable geometries, require manual post-processing, and produce non-recyclable waste. We introduce a wavelength-selective resin for VP that…
