Knowledge Workers, Identities, and Communication Practices: Understanding Code Farmers in China by Sophie Sun Ping, Michelangelo Magasic

“…Extending the concept of “knowledge workers”, this paper studies the identity dynamics of IT programmers from small companies in China. Through the discursive analysis of programmers’ personal memoirs (collected via personal interviews and online ethnography), four themes of identity dynamics emerge: IT programmers demonstrate identification with professionalism and technology; they naturalize the high mobility and internal precarity of their work via discourses of the self and social improvement; the term manong (“code monkey” or “code farmer” in English) is used to support a sense of selfhood amidst high pressure schedules and “panoptic control”; the disparaging term diaosi (“loser” in English) is appropriated in order to activate a sense of self-expression and collective resistance regarding the programmers’ working and living conditions. …”

Sparse coding-based multiframe superresolution for efficient synchrotron radiation microspectroscopy by Yasuhiko Igarashi, Naoka Nagamura, Masahiro Sekine, Hirokazu Fukidome, Hideitsu Hino, Masato Okada

“…Unlike deep learning-based superresolution methods, which overlook positional misalignment, our approach treats positional shifts as known control parameters, enhancing superresolution accuracy with a small, noisy dataset. Additionally, our sparse coding method learns an optimal dictionary tailored for nanostructure extraction, fine-tuning the SR process to the unique characteristics of the data, even with noise and limited samples. …”

Low error floor LT coding algorithm for unequal error protection by Xin SONG, Shuyan NI, Zhe ZHANG, Yurong LIAO, Tuofeng LEI

“…In addition,the scheme in this paper also has the optimal convergence performance,that is,it can enter the BER waterfall region with a small coding overhead. Taking 10^-6as the BER standard, the overhead saved by the proposed scheme is at least 10% of the code length K,which reflects the advantages of the proposed scheme.…”
