Developing a Multiscale Neural Connectivity Knowledgebase of the Autonomic Nervous System.

The Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions (SPARC) program is a U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded effort to enhance our understanding of the neural circuitry responsible for visceral control. SPARC's mission is to identify, extract, and compile our overall existing knowledge and understanding of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) connectivity between the central nervous system and end organs. A major goal of SPARC is to use this knowledge to promote the development of the next generation of neuromodulation devices and bioelectronic medicine for nervous system diseases. As part of the SPARC program, we have been developing SCKAN, a dynamic knowledge base of ANS connectivity that contains information about the origins, terminations, and routing of ANS projections. The distillation of SPARC's connectivity knowledge into this knowledge base involves a rigorous curation process to capture connectivity information provided by experts, published literature, textbooks, and SPARC scientific data. SCKAN is used to automatically generate anatomical and functional connectivity maps on the SPARC portal. In this article, we present the design and functionality of SCKAN, including the detailed knowledge engineering process developed to populate the resource with high quality and accurate data. We discuss the process from both the perspective of SCKAN's ontological representation as well as its practical applications in developing information systems. We share our techniques, strategies, tools and insights for developing a practical knowledgebase of ANS connectivity that supports continual enhancement.

Mundane Technologies and Community Informatics

In this short paper, I explore how my academic journey through Social Informatics (SI) and Science and Technology Studies (STS) has guided me toward the field of Community Informatics (CI), emphasizing the critical distinctions among these disciplines. While SI and STS primarily address the theoretical dimensions of science and technology within various institutional and cultural contexts, CI centers on the practical applications of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) within specific communities. Bringing this interdisciplinary foundation and drawing on a decade of critical ethnographic research, I present the framework of "Mundane Technology," which investigates how marginalized individuals appropriate everyday technologies to navigate and resist systemic oppression. This framework, which was originally introduced in my book “Technology of the Oppressed” (2022, MIT Press), is grounded in a decolonial perspective and enhances our understanding of how ordinary artifacts, processes, and spaces contribute to the agency and aspirations of oppressed communities. This framework also critiques traditional utilitarian approaches in Information Systems and ICT for Development, advocating for a shift towards recognizing the intangible benefits of technology in marginalized contexts. Ultimately, it underscores the importance of incorporating these narratives into CI research, reinforcing democratic values and expanding the scope of technology studies to include the voices and experiences of those historically excluded from power and representation.

DICTIONARY-BASED DETERMINISTIC METHOD OF GENERATION OF TEXT CORPORA

This paper examines the problem of solving software engineering tasks in developing information systems for natural language processing. Generating corpora of text data is highlighted as a specific task of this problem. An analysis of the basic CorDeGen method was carried out, which is one of the corpus generation methods specially developed for this specific problem. This study shows that this method has a limited scope due to the use of “artificial” terms to fill the texts.The paper proposes a new modified DBCorDeGen method that solves this shortcoming thanks to the use of an additional dictionary of terms that is supplied to the input of the method. The DBCorDeGen method preserves most of the characteristic features of the basic method, which are important for its use in solving software engineering tasks: determinism, speed of operation (including the possibility of combining with parallel modification), the possibility of a priori description of the structure and properties of the generated corpus. The only disadvantage compared to the basic method is the increase in the number of input parameters, however, compared to other methods of generating corpora presented in the literature, it is relatively small, and due to it, the scope of application of corpora generated by this method significantly increases.As an experimental test of the proposed modified DBCorDeGen method, the task of sentiment analysis of the texts of the generated corpus is considered. The study shows that when using the basic CorDeGen method, it is impossible to obtain sentiment analysis results different from neutral polarity for all texts. When using the proposed method, it is possible to obtain different results using different dictionaries. Thus, it is confirmed that the proposed DBCorDeGen method has a larger scope than the basic method.
