The World Wide Web of pages has revolutionized the way we publish, exchange, and collaborate with information. However, a vast network of content based on publishing pages creates problems for effective search, discovery, and reuse. The Linked Open Data movement seeks to remedy these limitations by supporting a new Web of Data. While the popularity and availability of Linked Open Data increase, it does not necessarily support understanding or provide the context and meaning to make it useful for humanist researchers. It also does not necessarily include the scientific requirements of transparency and reproducibility. The complex and heterogeneous nature of humanities datasets, together with the different contexts or perspectives that they contain, require the addition of meaning (semantics) to make them useful, yet the Semantic Web has become the poor relation in term of adoption, despite promising the elements to support high-quality digital humanities projects, and create a Web of data that better represents human knowledge."

We modified the Martians task −a computer game in which learning of Pavlovian associations is measured using conditioned suppression− for assessing context conditioning in humans. Two experiments are reported: one between-subjects and one within-subjects study. Both experiments comprised four conditions. A predictable (Paired) condition in which the US was predicted by the conditioned stimulus (CS), a neutral condition (No-US) and two unpredictable conditions, one in which the CS did not predict the US (Unpaired) and one in which only unsignaled and temporally unpredictable USs were scheduled but no CSs were presented (US-only). The background color of the computer screen was changed to manipulate context. Results showed that at the end of acquisition, more conditioned suppression to the context occurred in the unpredictable conditions (Unpaired and US-only) compared to the predictable condition (Paired). For conditioned suppression to the CS, on the other hand, more cue conditioning was present in the Paired condition than in the Unpaired condition. Consistent with animal research, context conditioning was increased by unpredictability. These data support the Martians task as a promising tool to extend research on human context conditioning."

Fecal swabs from 84 pet birds and pharyngeal swabs from 22 bird owners were collected from 21 locations in Flanders. Samples were examined using established and novel PCR platforms combined with culture on PCR-positive samples. Chlamydiaceae DNA was detected in 33 of 84 (39.3%) birds. The predominant part of the avian infections could be attributed to C. psittaci (22 of 84; 26.2%), followed by C. avium (11 of 84; 13.1%). C. gallinacea and C. abortus were not detected in birds or humans. C. psittaci was the only species detected in pet bird owners (4 of 22; 18.2%), stressing its zoonotic importance. This study showed that C. psittaci and the more recently discovered novel avian species C. avium are undoubtedly present in the Flemish psittacine bird population. Our results justify additional research in a larger psittacine bird population and its owners, focusing on C. psittaci and C. avium. In the meantime, increased awareness among pet bird owners and the implementation of preventive measures in the pet bird industry is advised to limit the circulation of established and novel emerging avian chlamydial species."
