High-Tech Kit – The set of advanced activities from the MOSEM project.
No full textOne of the most tangible outcomes of the MOSEM (Minds-On experimental equipment kits in Superconductivity and ElectroMagnetism for the
continuing vocational training of upper secondary school physics teachers—LLPLdV-
TOI-2007-NO/165.009) project is the set of advanced experiments—High-Tech
Kit (HTK). The Kit contains the experiments, prototyped and tested among the
project partners’ schools and teacher training institutions. The activities are combined
with e-modules comprising videos, animations, and modeling as well as with
new support material for teachers and teacher seminars. The paper briefly shows
some of the HTK materials as appropriate use of real and virtual multimedia in
physics teaching and learning. The authors discuss the process of setting up same of
the experiments and illustrate activities with the results of measurements obtained
within

T-Reg Comparator: an analysis tool for the comparison of position weight matrices
No full textRöpcke S, Grossmann S, Rahmann S, Vingron M. T-Reg Comparator: an analysis tool for the comparison of position weight matrices. Nucleic Acids Research. 2005;33(Web Server):W438-W441.T-Reg Comparator is a novel software tool designed to support research into transcriptional regulation. Sequence motifs representing transcription factor binding sites are usually encoded as position weight matrices. The user inputs a set of such weight matrices or binding site sequences and our program matches them against the T-Reg database, which is presently built on data from the Transfac [E. Wingender (2004) In Silico Biol., 4, 55-61] and Jaspar [A. Sandelin, W. Alkema, P. Engstrom, W. W. Wasserman and B. Lenhard (2004) Nucleic Acids Res., 32, D91-D94]. Our tool delivers a detailed report on similarities between user-supplied motifs and motifs in the database. Apart from simple one-to-one relationships, T-Reg Comparator is also able to detect similarities between submatrices. In addition, we provide a user interface to a program for sequence scanning with weight matrices. Typical areas of application for T-Reg Comparator are motif and regulatory module finding and annotation of regulatory genomic regions. T-Reg Comparator is available at http://treg.molgen.mpg.de

No full textWhat Policies Address Both the Coronavirus Crisis and the Climate Crisis?
No full textThe coronavirus pandemic has led many countries to initiate unprecedented economic recovery packages. Policymakers tackling the coronavirus crisis have also been encouraged to prioritize policies which help mitigate a second, looming crisis: climate change. We identify and analyze policies that combat both the coronavirus crisis and the climate crisis. We analyze both the long-run climate impacts from coronavirus-related economic recovery policies, and the impacts of long-run climate policies on economic recovery and public health post-recession. We base our analysis on data on emissions, employment and corona-related layoffs across sectors, and on previous research. We show that, among climate policies, labor-intensive green infrastructure projects, planting trees, and in particular pricing carbon coupled with reduced labor taxation boost economic recovery. Among coronavirus policies, aiding services sectors (leisure services such as restaurants and culture, or professional services such as technology), education and the healthcare sector appear most promising, being labor intensive yet low-emission—if such sectoral aid is conditioned on being directed towards employment and on low-carbon supply chains. Large-scale green infrastructure projects and green R&D investment, while good for the climate, are unlikely to generate enough employment to effectively alleviate the coronavirus crisis
Covid-19, Community Resilience Survey and Flooding Preparedness
No full textBackground In the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic the Scottish Flood Forum (SFF) undertook a survey to identify the impact of COVID-19 on community resilience to flooding. The key objective of the survey was to better inform the support needed for these community groups to prepare and respond to flooding during the lockdown and in the future. This report provides a summary of the survey responses. Methods An online survey was shared through relevant networks by the SFF between 15th and 28th May 2020 and the results of the survey analysed by independent researchers from the University Stirling in June 2020. Results and Conclusions The survey highlighted that there has been a lack of formal guidance about how to respond to flooding during Covid-19 from official agencies. However, there has been a positive community response to the pandemic through helping with wider community initiatives and support. While volunteering numbers are up and the communities have responded positively to the emergent challenges, there remain risks that given the low level of flooding during this period that unless changes are made (and supported), there could be negative consequences from future flooding events in our ‘new normal’ of continued social distancing and shielding of vulnerable people. Our recommendations for the SFF include: • Identify and offer coordinated COVID-19 resilience and safety support to flood risk community organisations • Continue to offer peer to peer networking and learning opportunities for flood risk communities • Ensure the SFF is COVID-19 resilient to continue supporting flood risk communities • Support communities to consider widening their volunteer base to include those not in a COVID-19 vulnerable or shielded category • Offer SFF support with key agencies to help flood risk communities review and update community flood resilience plans to take into account the “new normal” • Develop and implement a campaign with Local Authorities, Scottish Government, SEPA and others that highlights winter 2020 COVID-19 resilient flooding preparedness • In collaboration with communities identify the new learning needs from the above plans and help support delivery of these • Offering where capacity allows, support to key agencies to develop community resilience in non-flood risk communities who responded to COVID-19.Output Status: Forthcomin
How software engineering research aligns with design science: a review
No full textBackground: Assessing and communicating software engineering research can be challenging. Design science is recognized as an appropriate research paradigm for applied research, but is rarely explicitly used as a way to present planned or achieved research contributions in software engineering. Applying the design science lens to software engineering research may improve the assessment and communication of research contributions. Aim: The aim of this study is 1) to understand whether the design science lens helps summarize and assess software engineering research contributions, and 2) to characterize different types of design science contributions in the software engineering literature. Method: In previous research, we developed a visual abstract template, summarizing the core constructs of the design science paradigm. In this study, we use this template in a review of a set of 38 award winning software engineering publications to extract, analyze and characterize their design science contributions. Results: We identified five clusters of papers, classifying them according to their different types of design science contributions. Conclusions: The design science lens helps emphasize the theoretical contribution of research output—in terms of technological rules—and reflect on the practical relevance, novelty and rigor of the rules proposed by the research
