We also did a qualitative analysis by interviews, to find out how the students appreciated the use of the repository and to get feedback for improvements. We focused on how students select exercises as finding the exercise that fulfills the training needs of a student is the innovative part of our repository.

AlphaPept: a modern and open framework for MS-based proteomics

In common with other omics technologies, mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics produces ever-increasing amounts of raw data, making efficient analysis a principal challenge. A plethora of different computational tools can process the MS data to derive peptide and protein identification and quantification. However, during the last years there has been dramatic progress in computer science, including collaboration tools that have transformed research and industry. To leverage these advances, we develop AlphaPept, a Python-based open-source framework for efficient processing of large high-resolution MS data sets. Numba for just-in-time compilation on CPU and GPU achieves hundred-fold speed improvements. AlphaPept uses the Python scientific stack of highly optimized packages, reducing the code base to domain-specific tasks while accessing the latest advances. We provide an easy on-ramp for community contributions through the concept of literate programming, implemented in Jupyter Notebooks. Large datasets can rapidly be processed as shown by the analysis of hundreds of proteomes in minutes per file, many-fold faster than acquisition. AlphaPept can be used to build automated processing pipelines with web-serving functionality and compatibility with downstream analysis tools. It provides easy access via one-click installation, a modular Python library for advanced users, and via an open GitHub repository for developers.

Intermolecular Forces in a Physical Molecular Visualization System: A Human-Computer Interaction Application

This paper extends the concept of self-reconfigurable physical programming to incorporate attraction and repulsion forces between physical objects controlled by a software, Unity 3D engine. Those forces are further explained as force curves that justify the behavior of molecules under specific circumstances. A better programming methodology for physical structures is represented in this paper for demonstrating an interactive 3D physical simulation of the attraction and repulsion forces. The bottom-up programming of self-reconfigurable mid-air flying drones has proved to be more efficient in facilitating code modifications, maintenance, and scalability. The implementation evaluation covered drones’ response latency and accuracy as a drones’ deviation ratio from the correct path. The evaluation results show marginal latency measures and considerably high accuracy in the drones’ movements. This opens the door for many future works on this subject to improve its scalability and adaptability in similar self-reconfigurable physical structures programming projects.

Comparison of Software Development Solution Implementations in Lightning Flow Builder and Apex Programming Language in Salesforce Technology

The recent rapid development of the Salesforce platform has induced an expansion of no-code solutions to make automation available for less technical audience. This study examines similarities and differences between Apex programming and one of the no-code solutions on the Salesforce platform, Flow Builder. The research compares the implementation of the same applications using Apex language and Flow Builder in terms of operating time to fulfil requirements (first part) and execution time of both applications (second part). The applications were classified into two categories regarding the complexity of the solution, namely simple and intermediate, so that the research could thoroughly verify the impact of the amount of code and the simplification of programming concepts Flow Builder allows for. In the first part of the research, the majority of the developers who took part in the research managed to implement the simple application much quicker using Apex than Flow Builder. The intermediate application needed much more Apex code and made use of concepts like bulkification of records, which are automated in Flow Builder, so it was much easier to develop the second application in Flow Builder than Apex. In the second part of the research, execution times of the applications using Apex and Flow Builder were compared, and the findings show the impact of Flow Builder “behind the scenes” automation, which was the root cause of its more complex solutions slowdown.

Pyrates: Design and Evaluation of a Serious Game Aimed at Introducing Python Programming and Easing the Transition from Blocks

This article reports on a design-based research study centered on the conception and the assessment of the Pyrates application. This online serious game aims at introducing Python programming to K–12 students while easing the transition from block-based to text-based languages. After we present the various aspects underlying the block-to-text transition as well as the related existing applications, we describe the design of Pyrates . First, we built the levels of the game to deal with the different fundamental concepts of programming in a constructivist approach. Next, we were inspired by advantageous characteristics of block-based programming editors to create the editing environment of Pyrates . To assess this conception, we tested the application in eight classrooms with 240 French 14–15 years old students. Students’ activity traces have been collected and were augmented by a qualitative online survey. By analyzing this dataset, we showed that the levels’ design generally allows to apprehend the targeted concepts consistently with the constructivist principles. Regarding the editing environment, we established that it supports the block-to-text transition in several aspects: concept transposition (general models and illustrative examples), reduction of errors (beginners aware syntax analyzer), command catalog (programming memo for discovery and syntax reference), and program composition (copy button that limits keyboarding). Finally, Pyrates , which has already been played over 140,000 times, offers practitioners an environment that facilitates the transition from blocks to text, as well as a serious game to master the fundamental concepts of Python programming, and novel avenues to follow for tool designers.

Proof of concept of a sexual health outreach program led by community health workers in homeless hostels in the greater Paris region.

Homeless individuals face exacerbated risks of infectious diseases, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Programs led by Community Health Workers (CHWs) have demonstrated potential to enhance healthcare access for marginalized groups such as homeless families. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a novel CHW-based outreach program addressing sexual health issues among individuals residing in homeless hostels. Twelve social homeless hostels in the greater Paris region were selected as program implementation sites. An outreach program was developed consisting of two interventions: sexual health workshops and STI screening sessions (HIV and hepatitis B and C) accompanied by individual interviews, both conducted by CHWs within each hostel over an 8-week period and scheduled weekly. Feasibility, participation and engagement were evaluated using complementary methods including qualitative field observations, semi-structured interviews and focus groups with CHWs, satisfaction questionnaires for participants, and quantitative outcome data collection of each intervention. A total of 80 program activities (workshops and screening sessions) were conducted. Among the participants, 542 women and 30 men engaged in workshops. During the 30 Rapid Diagnostic Testing sessions, 150 individuals underwent testing for HIV, hepatitis B, and/or hepatitis C. Positivity rates were 6.7% for hepatitis B and 0.9% for hepatitis C. No HIV infections were detected. Participant satisfaction rates were consistently high (>76%) across workshops. Qualitative analysis unveiled two critical axes influencing program feasibility and effectiveness: program organization and CHW involvement. This assessment of the program highlights its feasibility among a population that is difficult to reach through conventional healthcare efforts. The intervention's potential effectiveness is suggested by self- and CHW-reported improvements in sexual health literacy and high rates of referral to the healthcare system, as well as holistic well-being considerations. CHW involvement is a vital determinant of program success, as are robust coordination among stakeholders, deep understanding of the target population, and strong partner engagement. This outreach program amplifies the voices of often-overlooked populations while empowering them to navigate health and social challenges. Although these workshops serve as lifelines for those frequently excluded from mainstream services, long-term improvements to the health and wellbeing of homeless populations will necessitate systemic governmental intervention.
