Title Participants Abstract "Platforms and Exposure Diversity: Towards a Framework to Assess Policies to Promote Exposure Diversity" "Heritiana Ranaivoson, Nino Domazetovikj" "The fragmentation of consumption and algorithms’ increasing impact on how content is recommended and displayed makes it even more important to analyse and promote exposure diversity, i.e., the extent to which audiences are exposed to, discover, and engage with diverse content. Although there is a growing literature addressing how to define media diversity in the context of the challenges posed by platformisation, this article translates the normative dimensions into a framework for operationalising exposure diversity into a tangible policy goal, taking into account datafication and its consequences in terms of increasing data requirements towards platforms. The main objective of this study is to analyse initiatives to assess exposure diversity in the platform era and to discuss how such assessment could be improved, particu‐ larly for policy initiatives. This involves addressing several challenges of existing approaches for the assessment of exposure diversity related to defining an appropriate frame of reference, determining the degree of diversity required, dealing with data transparency issues, and promoting user autonomy. To achieve this, we propose a framework for analysing initiatives aimed at assessing and promoting exposure to media diversity. Our framework is composed of four key features: measures (type of initiative), metrics (quantifying exposure diversity), data collection methods, and data requirements. We apply this framework to a set of 13 initiatives and find that policy initiatives can benefit from adopting metrics based on distances and experimenting with data collection methods."

We shed light on the shift in international discourse concerning cultural diversity and SD. We analyse worldviews as a constitutive element of SD, proposing to re-interpret SD as a joint worldview-construct in progress, embracing a multiplicity of visions and knowledges. Through critical literature review, we identified transdisciplinarity, cocreation of knowledge and inra-/inter-cultural dialogue as a necessity for SD to retain its 'universal' appeal. Transversal thinking, biocultural diversity and trends within SD research act as a guide throughout our reflection on knowledge-creation for and interpretation of SD, starting from a worldviews perspective and interdisciplinarity."

Carmen Turrientes, Cristina Diaz-Agero, Nieves Lopez-Fresnena, Marc Bonten, Surbhi Malhotra, Patricia Ruiz-Garbajosa, Rafael Canton" "Objectives: To describe the incidence and microbiological features of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) from colonized patients in a Spanish university hospital during a cluster-randomized study [the Resistance of Gram-Negative Organisms: Studying Intervention Strategies (R-GNOSIS) project] on isolation strategies for faecal ESBL carriers. Methods: From March 2014 to March 2016, 15 556 rectal swabs from 8209 patients admitted in two surgical wards and two medical wards were collected and seeded on ESBL and CPE chromogenic agars. Carbapenemase characterization (PCR and sequencing) was performed, and antibiotic susceptibility (MIC), clonality (PFGE and MLST) and diversity (Simpson diversity index estimation) were determined. Results: One hundred and ninety-eight CPE isolates, mainly Klebsiella pneumoniae (53.5%) and Escherichia coli (19.2%), were identified in 162 patients (2%). Prevalence of CPE carriage remained unchanged over time. Overall, amikacin (9.6%), tigecycline (9.6%) and colistin (0.5%) showed low non-susceptibility. The most frequent carbapenemase was OXA-48 (64.1%), followed by VIM-1 (26.8%), NDM-1 (5.3%) and KPC-3 (3.5%), and these were co-produced with ESBLs in 43.9%. OXA-48 plus CTX-M-15 was the most frequent association. Two major K. pneumoniae clones were identified (OXA-48-CTX-M-15-ST11 and VIM-1-SHV-12-ST54) with considerable genetic diversity among the remaining isolates, including OXA-48-E. coli. Species diversity tended to decrease from 0.75 in the first 6months of the study to 0.43 in the final months. The emergence of new clones (i.e. OXA-48-Kluyvera spp. and NDM-1-K. pneumoniae ST437 and ST101) and displacement of other particular clones were also demonstrated. Conclusions: We describe a polyclonal and changeable CPE population over time. Coexistence of worldwide disseminated clones, such as ST11-OXA-48-K. pneumoniae, with unrelated and emerging OXA-48-E. coli clones, depicts a disturbing CPE epidemiology in our institution."
