This document outlines a case study on the failure of a prepaid fare program between the University of Connecticut and the town of Mansfield that aimed to provide unlimited access transit services. It reviews literature on unlimited access programs and rural transportation challenges. The analysis examines why the program failed due to a lack of long-term coordination and willingness between the university and town to define goals and interests jointly. It concludes that small-town unlimited access programs require sustained stakeholder engagement and may be vulnerable to changes in public funding support over time.Presentaci坦n Liderazgo y Diversidad

This document discusses a proposed train system that would connect the city of Quito to the Yachay Tech university and town of Urcuqui. The train would provide students, teachers and residents a faster and safer way to travel compared to existing transportation options. It would allow students to more easily visit home on weekends. While the train would be seven times faster and safer than other transportation, it would also be six times more expensive to ride and construction through the mountainous terrain may be complicated.Open FAIR Data and Open Science: Developing Partnerships, Strategies, Policie...

The document discusses open access in South Africa and the roles and responsibilities of librarians in supporting open access initiatives. It notes that open access can help provide access to information and education as rights guaranteed by the South African constitution. However, South Africa ranks low on measures like life expectancy and education levels compared to other countries. The document then outlines how librarians can support open access journals and repositories, advocate for open access, and develop their competencies in areas like research data management, scholarly communication, and digital humanities.Moving from challenges to opportunities what will become our new normal for ...

The document discusses the need to reorganize open and distance learning (ODL) in the context of COVID-19. It outlines both challenges and opportunities that have arisen from moving to emergency remote teaching. Challenges include adapting to new teaching and learning methods, issues of connectivity and access, and addressing educational inequality. Opportunities include deepening digital skills, improving access through partnerships and open resources, embracing African pedagogies using new technologies, and sharing assessment best practices globally. Going forward, ODL needs to move beyond emergency remote teaching and revisit learning activity design using pedagogies suited for digital contexts like connectivism and rhizomatic learning while avoiding uncritical adoption of ed-tech.Pros and Cons of Open Data: A Global South Perspective

Open Data is produced and used at various levels in research, governance, policy making and civil society. So far though, conversation around its value and significance has tended to occur within an Open Data silo, existing in parallel with other open discussions around Open Educational Resources and Open Access. In our presentation we explore practices which make use of Open Data as OER, with a focus on the the opportunities and challenges inherent in this approach.
For the OECD, All citizens should have equal opportunities and multiple channels to access information, be consulted and participate. Every reasonable effort should be made to engage with as wide a variety of people as possible. A central challenge in higher education is to develop skills useful not only at subject/professional level, but which also engage students with real-word problems. The skills needed to participate in democratic discussions can be understood as transversal skills, defined by UNESCO (2015) as Critical and innovative thinking, inter-personal skills; intra personal skills, and global citizenship. If one of our goals as educators is to develop these transversal skills in students, towards enabling them to function as citizens, to actively participate in the discourse and debates of society, then we propose that Open Data can play a key role.
Open Data has been understood as key to research, policy and governance development, and also heralded as a force for democratic discourse and participation, but in our view, this is not achieved by opening data alone. By using Open Data in research- and scenario- based learning activities, educators can enhance the information, digital, statistical and data analysis literacies that can empower students, and ultimately citizens and communities. Such pedagogic activities allow students to learn using the same raw materials researchers and policy- makers produce and use.
Drawing from a series of case studies of the use of Open Data as OER, we suggest educators consider the following elements
Focus: define the research problem and its relation to the environment students.
Practicality: match technical applications and practices to expected solutions.
Expectations: set realistic expectations for data analysis.
Directions: support in finding data portals which contain appropriate information.
Training: provide training materials for the software students will need to analyse the data.
Location: use global, local and scientific data which is as granular as possible.
Modelling: develop model solutions to guide students on the challenges and activities.
Collaboration: support students to work collaboratively and at multidisciplinary level.
Communication: support students in communicating their findings to local or wider communities.

Open Science policies can help achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals through open data practices. Key elements of an effective open science policy include open access, open research, and open data policies. It also requires addressing issues of data justice, developing fair and interoperable data standards, and implementing policies that maximize the reuse and public impact of research data. Effective policies also engage stakeholders, advocate for open research, and link funding policies to open science goals. Surveys show more work is needed as most institutions still lack clear open data and open research data guidelines.The Role of Citizen Science in the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sust...

This document discusses the importance of open access research publishing in developing countries. It notes that while open access has the potential to more widely disseminate research and further development goals, current policies and metrics focus too heavily on international citations and prestige, neglecting local relevance. Green open access repositories make articles accessible but do not ensure development impact. Alternative models are emerging, including open access journals and scholarly presses that are more aligned with developing world issues, as well as new ways of evaluating research like altmetrics. Overall open access represents an opportunity to transform scholarly communication systems and better serve development needs, but policies and mindsets would need to change.Open Access Week 2009 University of the Western Cape

Research process and research data management. Many universities are looking at how they can better serve the needs of researchers. Ken Chad Consulting worked with the University of Westminster to look the needs and attitudes of researchers and admin staff in terms of research data management (RDM). The result led the University to look first at the whole lifecycle and workflows of research administration. This in turn led to the innovative, rapid development of a system to support researchers and admin staff.

This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust.
Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards.
The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks.
The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration.
Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.FESTIVAL: SINULOG & THINGYAN-LESSON 4.pptx
