Alternative splicing (AS) increases the diversities of transcriptomes and proteomes in plants. The work reports identification and analysis of genes and their transcripts with a focus on AS in soybean plants by integrating mapping information of over 1.5 million of mRNAs and expressed sequence tags (ESTs) with more than 6 billons of mapped reads collected from 90 RNA-seq datasets obtained from multiple experiments. A total of 294,164 AS events were detected and categorized into basic events (151,710, 51.57%) and complex events (142,454, 48.43%). The basic AS events include intron retention (18.52%), alternative acceptor sites (16.33%), alternative donor site (8.99%), and exon skipping (7.73%). The AS rate in intron containing genes was estimated to be ~56.3% in soybean based on the current analysis. In addition, a total of 41,453 new genomic loci, which were not previously annotated in the genome, were detected by mapping transcripts to the genome. The annotated data can be accessed through a public database for searching and downloading. This work provides a resource for further detailed functional analysis of gene products in soybean plants.

Systemic risk is considered as one of the greatest, if not the greatest risk faced by retail banks. This paper uses the Theory of Interpersonal Behaviour as theoretical lens to understand systemic risk caused by emotional driven technology enacted client behaviours on mobile banking systems.A structured literature review was selected as research method through which 34 research papers were selected for the identified research themes, namely mobile banking systems, systemic risk, SA retails banks and theory of interpersonal behaviour. From the identified research papers several sub themes were identified using a thematic analysis. These findings indicate that several factors (both conscious and nonconscious) have an impact on a client's intention to enact systemic risk behaviours via a mobile banking system.In conclusion the paper proposes a theoretical framework, based on the theory of interpersonal behaviour, for explaining systemic risk enacted by emotionally driven client behaviour on mobile banking systems. From the limitations of the study a number of future research recommendations are also made, including investigating how mobile banking clients can be persuaded to abstain from systemic risk behaviour.

Among the refugees of the war in Ukraine, there is an above-average number of academics, who should be able to continue their university studies abroad. Here, digital media can lower access barriers, but lack of knowledge of the language or the education system in the host country hampers participation. In addition, needs vary from person to person, which makes counseling processes complex. This article presents a cross- institutional recommendation system that proposes personalized recommendations for suitable learning paths and makes appropriate educational opportunities accessible. We present the system's structure and mode of operation, based on the currently developed national infrastructure for digital education in Germany, as well as initial findings from its evaluation based on the use case of Ukrainian refugee students.

In recent years, the importance of E-services incorporating concepts such as IoT (Internet of Things), digital twin, CPS (Cyber-Physical System) and so forth has increased. There, in addition to cloud computing, edge computing on the terminal equipment is becoming essential. For semiconductor companies, this situation might be a business opportunity to transform or transit from the traditional business model to a business model suitable for the edge computing device business. There, it is necessary to form a healthy business ecosystem with various stakeholders. In this article, we briefly illustrate our proposed business ecosystem analysis methods that are (1) business boundary analysis method and (2) business ecosystem stakeholder analysis method. Then we apply them to an actual business case of edge computing device business, in order to confirm effectiveness of them.

This article investigates cross-institutional collaboration of European Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) from a policy perspective, using virtual mobility as a case study. In the framework of policy experimentation, two instruments to provide an evidence basis are examined: policy dialogues between high-level authorities, institutional policymakers and practitioners, and evaluation of local implementations of existing policies. We describe these instruments along with the results obtained, reflect on the methodology used, and we finally derive recommendations for the policy process.

Over the past years, several software development teams in the IT Center have continuously improved their development processes. One of the most significant changes was to select GitLab as the central tool for the software-development-life-cycle and to enhance certain processes with the help of this tool in the areas of planning, implementation, interaction in the team and with stakeholders, operations, and deployment. Subsuming the shared knowledge of all these teams, this paper presents the resulting best practices with regards to previously established workflows from the viewpoint of projects supporting university IT services in the areas of student-life-cycle and research data management.

Digivisio 2030, a joint programme between Finnish universities and universities of applied sciences, will bring greater opportunities for all learners to learn flexibly. The aim is to restructure Finland’s higher education over the next decade by means of digitalization and collaboration and to make Finland a model country for flexible learning.The project will develop common procedures for higher education institutions and create a shared digital service platform. Other key areas for development include digital pedagogy and guidance based on the learner's path and shared data.The aim is that degree students, lifelong learners and those without a student place can study flexibly, selecting courses from all Finnish higher education institutions irrespective of organizational boundaries and geographical location. By implementing the vision, Finnish higher education institutions can create a robust international competitive edge for Finland as a society and for every citizen as a learner.

European Accessibility Act (EU Directive 2019/882) requires that both public and private sector actors guarantee the accessibility of certain products and services. In the field of higher education IT, the European Accessibility Act is applied to most of the digital services. In many cases the sheer scale of things may feel overwhelming. This paper describes the approach of University of Helsinki IT services in tackling problems and providing solutions in the process of developing and procuring accessible digital services.

One method to reduce vehicle congestion in a road traffic network is to appropriately control traffic signals. One control scheme for traffic signals is a distributed control scheme in which individual traffic signals cooperate locally with other geographically close traffic signals. Deep reinforcement learning has been actively studied to appropriately control traffic signals. In distributed control, it is important to select appropriate cooperative partners. In this study, we propose a method for selecting appropriate cooperative partners using deep reinforcement learning to the distributed traffic signal control.

There is a lot of uncertain and imprecise information in a real-world scenario. Graph database systems based on the graph model support crisp and precise data. This paper presents a system structure that processes fuzzy quantified queries in the context of a graph database. Fuzzy logic allows decisions to be taken more realistically. A specific form of structural quantified query is designed and demonstrated in this paper, which then can be expressed as an extension to the Neo4j Cypher query language. In addition, this research built an active rule system on top of the graph database that reacts to event occurrences automatically. This paper presents our approach of supporting temporal event handling using fuzzy active rules and fuzzy query processing over Neo4j graph database systems.
