Strategy for continuous improvement
Get PDF<p>The overall vision of the EuroTeQ project is to become the leading ecosystem for collaborative, responsible value creation in technology, including all relevant stakeholders in technological innovation processes. To make this vision a reality by 2030, analysing and learning from the experiences gained during the three-year project span is necessary. For this, it is essential that we not only monitor our activities carefully but also provide feedback on the result of our observations in the different output parts of our project, reshaping it in an agile manner. </p><p>There are three main flagships in the EuroTeQ project to achieve the objectives and vision of the project and the European Universities Initiative: </p><p>1) building the EuroTeQ Campus (led by Work Package 2), </p><p>2) running the EuroTeQ Collider (led by Work Package 3), and </p><p>3) ideating the EuroTeQ Professional (led by Work Package 4). </p><p>The EuroTeQ Work Packages (WPs) and its Working Groups (WGs) are highly relevant to driving and supporting the EuroTeQ Engineering University's ambitious goals and overall agenda. Each work package is responsible for implementing its specific tasks and activities. </p><p>The continuous improvement strategy analyses the progress, performance and results of the core activities in these three flagships, mapping the strengths (best practices) and areas of improvement (lessons learned) to provide recommendations and suggest actions. For analysing the EuroTeQ Campus, a particular focus is on the process and performance of the Joint Course Catalogue. Based on that, creating action plans to improve the activities is possible. </p>
Data from: Revision of Ordovician chitinozoan Lagenochitina esthonica sensu lato: morphometrics, biostratigraphy and paleobiogeography
No full text<p>Data presented here contribute to the results documented in the paper: Liang, Y., Nõlvak, J., Xu, H., Chen, Y. and Hints, O. (2021) Revision of Ordovician chitinozoan <i>Lagenochitina esthonica sensu lato</i>: morphometrics, biostratigraphy and paleobiogeography. Journal of Paleontology, in press.</p><p>Two datasets are included, one is Supplemental Data 1 cited in Liang et al. (2021) which contains detailed information of the occurrence data of previously published <i>Lagenochitina esthonica</i>. The other is Supplemental Data 2 cited in the paper which contains two sheets. One sheet named as "Original data"and it presents the original raw data of the measurements of <i>Lagenochitina esthonica</i> specimens obtained at the Jägala, Kaldase, Kaugatuma and Baldone sections, eastern Baltica. The other named as "Two forms", which divided the raw data into two groups for further statistical study.</p><p>Statistical morphometric study based on the measurements of <i>L. esthonica</i> indicates that two varieties could be recognized: a relatively short form with a test length around 400 μm and a L/Dp* ratio around 1.4–3.0, and a slender form usually longer than 600 μm in length with a L/Dp* ratio around 2.0–7.0.</p><p>Stratigraphic and geographic distributions based on available occurrence data suggest that the short form occurs in the upper Tremadocian to lower Dapingian, whereas the slender form is mostly reported from the lower and middle Darriwilian. Both forms are identified on Baltica; the short form has also been reported from Laurentia and South China, whereas the other is known also from Avalonia and Gondwana.</p><p>The morphological distinction, together with differences in stratigraphic and spatial ranges, suggest that the two forms represent separate species: the original stout <i>L. esthonica</i>, based on the morphology of the holotype, and the slender <i>L. megaesthonica</i> n. sp. described herein. The updated taxonomy enhances the stratigraphic and biogeographic usefulness of lagenochitinids globally.</p><h2>Methods</h2><p>The occurrence data are collected based on previously published literature.</p><p>The measurement data are measured based on optical images.</p><p>Measured specimens are obtained from the Ordovician outcrops and drill cores of the East Baltica. </p><h2>Usage notes</h2><p>The README file contains an explanation of each of the variables in the dataset, its measurement units, and data collection information. </p><h2>Funding</h2><p>Estonian Research Council, Award: PRG836</p><p>National Natural Science Foundation of China, Award: 41972015</p><p>Strategic Priority Research Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Award: XDB26000000</p><p>Estonian Research Council, Award: PRG836</p><p>Strategic Priority Research Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Award: XDB26000000</p>

Data from: Carbonate shelf development and early Paleozoic benthic diversity in Baltica: A hierarchical diversity partitioning approach using brachiopod data
No full text<p>The Ordovician–Silurian (~485–419 Ma) was a time of considerable evolutionary upheaval, encompassing both the largest evolutionary diversification and one of the first major mass extinctions. The Ordovician diversification coincided with global climatic cooling and paleocontinental collision, the ecological impacts of which were mediated by region-specific processes including substrate changes, biotic invasions, and tectonic movements. From the Sandbian–Katian (~453 Ma) onward, an extensive carbonate shelf developed in the eastern Baltic paleobasin in response to a tectonic shift to tropical latitudes and an increase in the abundance of calcareous macroorganisms. We quantify the contributions of environmental differentiation and temporal turnover to regional diversity through the Ordovician and Silurian, using brachiopod occurrences from the more shallow-water facies belts of the eastern Baltic paleobasin, an epicontinental sea on the Baltica paleocontinent. The results are consistent with carbonate shelf development as a driver of Ordovician regional diversification, both by enhancing broadscale differentiation between shallow- and deep-marine environments and by generating heterogeneous carbonate environments that allowed increasing numbers of brachiopod genera to coexist. However, temporal turnover also contributed significantly to apparent regional diversity, particularly in the Middle–Late Ordovician.</p><p>This upload contains the R scripts and data needed to replicate the analyses and data preparation in the manuscript.
