MICRODIS is an Integrated Project funded under the EU Sixth Framework Programme - Thematic Priority 6.3 Global Change and Ecosystems (Contract number GOCE-CT-2007- 036877)

The INVALUABLE project aims to study how market-based instruments can help integrate biodiversity and ecosystem services into policies. It brings together experts from economics, law, and social sciences. The project's objectives are to clarify market-based instruments, analyze societal discourses around them, study their use in case studies of biodiversity offsets and payments for ecosystem services, and examine how scientific information influences policymaking. Preliminary results include developing a typology of market-based instruments and finding that payments for ecosystem services often involve negotiated agreements rather than true markets. The project will continue empirical case studies, cross-case comparisons, and stakeholder engagement.

Capacity building on ‘ecohealth’ in Southeast Asia – successes and challenges

ILRI

To address current challenges related to disease emergences in livestock and humans, new integrated approaches are needed to promote collaboration between involved actors and groups towards more effective control. Southeast Asia is considered a hotspot for diseases emergence as demonstrated with Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Such new approaches include the ‘ecohealth’ (EH) concept, an approach pioneered over the last decades by the International Development Research Centre, Canada (IDRC).

Design principles for developing blended learning environments

Michael Rowe

The document outlines design principles for developing blended learning environments: 1) Facilitate interaction between people, content, and devices to achieve objectives difficult in a single space. 2) Require articulation of ideas through public statements supported by evidence to expose understanding. 3) Build relationships in collaborative activities where learning responsibility is shared and "not knowing" is valued along with "knowing".

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a global organization that aims to attain the highest level of health for all people. It has a governing body called the World Health Assembly and over 8,000 staff working across headquarters and regional offices. Since 1999, WHO has applied an organizational learning cycle of generating information, integrating new information, collectively interpreting information, and authorizing actions based on interpretations. This allows WHO to continuously improve its response to global health issues through knowledge sharing and management.

The Ecology of Sharing: Synthesizing OER Research

Robert Farrow

Arguably, Open Educational Resources (OER) are starting to enter the mainstream, though some fundamental questions about their value and impact remain to be answered or supported with appropriate evidence. Much early OER activity was driven by ideals and interest in finding new ways to release content, with less direct research and reflection on the process. Furthermore, the majority of OER studies are localised, making extrapolation problematic. At the same time there are considerable practical experiences and ideas that it would be valuable to share. This presentation introduces the 'hub' as metaphor for the kind of networked research that is needed by the OER movement. The Open University's OER Research Hub project (2012-2014) works across eight primary research collaborations augmented with additional fellowships and connections with organisation to collate and synthesize research into OER across a range of sectors and stakeholders (k12, College Entry, Higher Education, Informal). The guiding research hypotheses are grounded in preparatory work in discourse analysis and collective intelligence as part of the OLnet project (which was previously presented at OER12). We then describe the research methodology for OER Research Hub, showing how claims about 'openness' may be validated in different contexts. The argument presented is that through (1) integrating and co-ordinating research methods and (2) developing open data policies it is possible to build an evidence base for the kinds of claims that the OER movement wants to make. Thus, through an 'ecology of sharing' researchers can build and participate in a research network that is greater than the sum of its parts. We will also show how this is working in practice by highlighting some of the activities that are taking place within some collaborations, showing how harmonizing the questions we ask in surveys and interviews across the different collaborations enhances our ability to make both comparative claims which apply in the broadest range of educational contexts.

Using the web to empower agents of change

Michael Rowe

These are the slides from the presentation I gave at The Network: Towards Unity for Health conference in Fortaleza, Brazil (2014). The talk looked at how we're trying to prepare health professional students for an increasingly complex health system, but we're still using teaching methods that originated centuries ago. I ask questions about how we can change teaching practices to take into account the characteristics we expect of our graduates. I discussed the importance of taking a critical stance towards the implementation of technological solutions, and to be careful of making assumptions about the use of technology to solve all problems.

An All-Around Benchmark of the DBaaS Market

ScyllaDB

The entire database market is moving towards Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), resulting in a heterogeneous DBaaS landscape shaped by database vendors, cloud providers, and DBaaS brokers. This DBaaS landscape is rapidly evolving and the DBaaS products differ in their features but also their price and performance capabilities. In consequence, selecting the optimal DBaaS provider for the customer needs becomes a challenge, especially for performance-critical applications. To enable an on-demand comparison of the DBaaS landscape we present the benchANT DBaaS Navigator, an open DBaaS comparison platform for management and deployment features, costs, and performance. The DBaaS Navigator is an open data platform that enables the comparison of over 20 DBaaS providers for the relational and NoSQL databases. This talk will provide a brief overview of the benchmarked categories with a focus on the technical categories such as price/performance for NoSQL DBaaS and how ScyllaDB Cloud is performing.

MongoDB vs ScyllaDB: Tractian’s Experience with Real-Time ML

JP compares ScyllaDB, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL, evaluating their data models, query languages, sharding and replication, and benchmark results. Attendees will gain practical insights into the MongoDB to ScyllaDB migration process, including challenges, lessons learned, and the impact on product performance.

TrustArc Webinar - Your Guide for Smooth Cross-Border Data Transfers and Glob...

TrustArc

Global data transfers can be tricky due to different regulations and individual protections in each country. Sharing data with vendors has become such a normal part of business operations that some may not even realize they’re conducting a cross-border data transfer! The Global CBPR Forum launched the new Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules framework in May 2024 to ensure that privacy compliance and regulatory differences across participating jurisdictions do not block a business's ability to deliver its products and services worldwide. To benefit consumers and businesses, Global CBPRs promote trust and accountability while moving toward a future where consumer privacy is honored and data can be transferred responsibly across borders. This webinar will review: - What is a data transfer and its related risks - How to manage and mitigate your data transfer risks - How do different data transfer mechanisms like the EU-US DPF and Global CBPR benefit your business globally - Globally what are the cross-border data transfer regulations and guidelines

Elasticity vs. State? Exploring Kafka Streams Cassandra State Store

ScyllaDB

kafka-streams-cassandra-state-store' is a drop-in Kafka Streams State Store implementation that persists data to Apache Cassandra. By moving the state to an external datastore the stateful streams app (from a deployment point of view) effectively becomes stateless. This greatly improves elasticity and allows for fluent CI/CD (rolling upgrades, security patching, pod eviction, ...). It also can also help to reduce failure recovery and rebalancing downtimes, with demos showing sporty 100ms rebalancing downtimes for your stateful Kafka Streams application, no matter the size of the application’s state. As a bonus accessing Cassandra State Stores via 'Interactive Queries' (e.g. exposing via REST API) is simple and efficient since there's no need for an RPC layer proxying and fanning out requests to all instances of your streams application.
