Smart contract security audit reports contain rich information about vulnerabilities and code quality issues in Web3 projects. However, these reports are scattered across different sources and formats, making large-scale analysis difficult. We present SCAR (Smart Contract Audit Repository), an open-source dataset and tool that automatically aggregates these audit reports. SCAR crawls reports from leading security firms (e.g., OpenZeppelin) and community contests (e.g., Code4rena), parses them into a structured JSON schema, and offers a queryable API for accessing the data. Its pipeline includes a crawler, a text-mining module to standardize findings (e.g., vulnerability types, severity, code references), and a web API for retrieving insights. With hundreds of audits covering thousands of issues, SCAR enables empirical studies of smart contract vulnerabilities at scale. The SCAR project repository is available on GitHub, and the screencast demo is available at this link.

Background: Population-based studies using patient-reported outcomes provide important insights into health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and the long-term impact of cancer and its treatment. Declining response rates and potential non-response bias have presented methodological challenges, particularly in registry-based surveys including both cancer survivors and population controls. The SURV-ICE study was established to assess HRQoL and health literacy among cancer survivors in Iceland while evaluating recruitment processes and participation patterns in a nationwide mixed-mode survey. Methods: SURV-ICE is a nationwide, population-based cross-sectional survey conducted in Iceland in 2025. Adults diagnosed with invasive cancer between 2014 and 2024 were identified through the Icelandic Cancer Registry and invited alongside an age- and gender-matched control group sampled from national registers. Participants completed validated EORTC instruments. Recruitment used a mixed-mode strategy including postal invitations, web-based and paper questionnaires, electronic reminders via the national health portal, and targeted telephone follow-up. Results: Among 10,005 cancer survivors 5489 (54.9%) responded to the questionnaires and among 5663 controls 2297 (40.6%) responded to the questionnaires. In both groups participation peaked among individuals aged 60–79 years and was lowest among the youngest and oldest groups. Cancer survivors had higher odds of participation than controls (OR 1.84; 95% CI 1.72–1.97). Most responses followed the initial postal invitation and first electronic reminder. Data completeness was high (≥80% item completion in 95.7% of instruments). Conclusions: Nationwide registry-based recruitment for large-scale PRO research is feasible in Iceland and can achieve competitive response rates without incentives. SURV-ICE provides an infrastructure for future research on cancer survivorship, HRQoL, and health literacy.

Time spent in nature benefits human mental and physical well-being. However, much of the variance in outcomes of nature contact remains unexplained, suggesting that new mechanistic pathways need to be considered. Here, we tested a novel conceptual model linking nature contact with life satisfaction via pathways involving positive experiences of living in and experiencing the world through the physical self. Using data from the Body Image in Nature Survey (BINS; N = 50,363), representing respondents from 58 nations and speaking 36 different languages, we find that nature contact is associated with greater self-compassion and greater perceived restoration in nature, which in turn are associated with more positive body image. In addition, more positive body image is associated with greater life satisfaction. These associations were robust to sensitivity tests, generalised to all gender identities and age groups, and held individually in almost all national groups and languages. Although replications are needed, we propose that the materialities of natural environments help to link bodily experiences to the production and experience of well-being, a process that is largely stable across national groups.
Optimization of Long-Running Media Aggregation Queries
(Association for Computing Machinery, Inc, 2026-06-15) Thorarinsson, Sigurdur; Jonsson, Bjorn Thor; Khan, Omar Shahbaz; Department of Computer Science
Unlike traditional retrieval, dynamic exploration of multimedia collections may require complex aggregation queries whose performance is highly sensitive to dataset size, filters and grouping applied at any time. Such queries often yield unstable response times, thus undermining interactivity. Inspired by the online aggregation approach from the database community, we investigate whether progressively refined intermediate results, accompanied by quality estimates, can enable users to decide whether to accept partial results or continue processing. We evaluate this approach within the Multidimensional Media Model, where media collections are explored through metadata tagsets and hierarchies. Our study analyses operator placement, showing that moving deduplication and grouping from the database to the server reduces time-to-first-result by over 90% while maintaining steady quality improvement. We further examine join ordering and selectivity estimation for reliable progress prediction. Our results demonstrate that online aggregation principles can substantially improve responsiveness in multimedia exploration systems.
