Voices Around Orkney [Tom Rendall]
The document discusses research conducted on the use of dialect in Orkney, Scotland. It finds that migration has weakened the use of dialect across the islands, changing perceptions of the vernacular among different age groups. However, the cultural significance of the dialect is still recognized through use in social and community contexts. While the dialect is evolving with social changes, there is optimism it will survive through continued use and appreciation of its value to Orkney's cultural identity.

Destinations transformed innovative approaches to economic and cultural dev...University of the Highlands and Islands
This document discusses innovative approaches to transform destinations through economic and cultural development. It explores transformational business models used in destinations like Jyväskylä, Finland and Swansea Bay, Wales that focus on vision, branding, partnerships and leveraging strengths. Critical success factors include bold positioning, policy support, creative delivery and aligning multi-sector actions. Sources of inspiration discussed include placemaking thinkers and ensuring destinations satisfy needs of body, mind and spirit through the creative economy. Opportunities for the Highlands and Islands and UHI are to apply these innovative approaches.Greater Shetland - The Land Beneath The Waves [Deborah Lamb, Shetland College...
Greater Shetland - The Land Beneath The Waves [Deborah Lamb, Shetland College...University of the Highlands and Islands
Sea levels around Shetland have fluctuated since the last ice age, rising and falling by several meters. This has implications for understanding Iron Age settlement patterns on the islands. Examining a group of three potential broch sites, rising sea levels would have flooded the area between them, adding agricultural land and possibly supporting more settlements during the broch period from 400 BC to AD 400. However, evidence of smaller structures may now be underwater and lost to erosion. A revised coastline changes interpretations of relationships between the brochs and their economic and communication networks during this period.Design & Use Of Large Tiled Display [James Morrison]
This document summarizes a large tiled display system designed for research visualization. The system uses 20 Dell 30-inch monitors arranged in a 5x4 grid for a total resolution of 84.8 megapixels. It is powered by 6 workstations running the Rocks Cluster Distribution optimized for tiled displays via the Viz Roll. Software like SAGE and Chromium allow displaying 3D applications across the entire wall. The system provides one-click scripts for visualizing simulations and capturing data to help researchers.
How Good People Turn Evil
1) Ordinary people have the capacity for both good and evil, as shown by studies like the Milgram experiment and Stanford prison experiment. Situational and systemic factors can influence people to engage in harmful or criminal behavior.
2) Hannah Arendt introduced the idea of "the banality of evil" to argue that atrocities are often carried out not by psychopaths but ordinary people who accept the premises of their situation.
3) Philip Zimbardo identified seven factors that can cause normally good people to engage in evil acts, including taking small first steps, dehumanizing others, diffusing responsibility, and conforming to group norms. However, promoting heroism can counteract these factors.
Arctic Research - Building An International Network [Finlo Cottier]
Arctic Research - Building An International Network [Finlo Cottier]University of the Highlands and Islands
This document summarizes research conducted at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) on the Arctic Ocean. It discusses the SAMS Arctic Time Series project, which involves deploying long-term oceanographic sensor moorings at multiple sites around Svalbard to collect time series data and study physical, biological, and ecosystem processes. The moorings measure variables like temperature, currents, and zooplankton abundance to understand topics like seasonal changes, the spring bloom, and diel vertical migration. The document recommends identifying funding to expand such collaborative Arctic research with other nations through integrated long-term observing networks.Silver Darlings (Herring) - Orkney's Golden Opportunity [Sarah De Rees]
Silver Darlings (Herring) - Orkney's Golden Opportunity [Sarah De Rees]University of the Highlands and Islands
This document discusses the history and current state of herring fishing and consumption in Orkney, Scotland. Herring was traditionally a staple food in Orkney for millennia but commercial fishing in the 19th-20th centuries and later bans caused consumption to decline. Now, herring stocks are healthy but only a small percentage is consumed by humans in Orkney. One company produces cured herring in Orkney but over 99% is sold outside the region. The document investigates reasons for low local consumption and whether promoting herring could provide economic and health benefits to Orkney.Recommended

Impact Of Subsidies On The Fisheries Of The North Sea [Sheila Heymans]
Impact Of Subsidies On The Fisheries Of The North Sea [Sheila Heymans]University of the Highlands and Islands
This document analyzes the impact of subsidies on fisheries in the North Sea. It reviews current subsidies, incorporates subsidies into an existing North Sea ecosystem model, and runs hindcast and optimization analyses both with and without subsidies. The hindcast shows subsidies reduced fishery profitability even as gross revenue remained high. Optimizations find maximum profit with reduced demersal trawling and increased Nephrops trawling, while stability results from reducing all fleets' effort. With subsidies, effort stays higher for all fleets since subsidies lower fishing costs. Removing subsidies may lower catch and revenue but increases total profit and biomass of key commercial species.Simulation-Modelling In Science & Engineering [Bassam Rakhshani]
Simulation-Modelling In Science & Engineering [Bassam Rakhshani]University of the Highlands and Islands
This document discusses engineering modelling and numerical simulation. It outlines the objectives of discussing breakthroughs in engineering research using simulation, key industries that utilize simulation, and examples of simulation applications. Engineering modelling is a multidisciplinary process that uses computer programs to model physical phenomena and predict system performance, complementing physical testing. Modelling is now widely used across various engineering fields and is attracting more university and industry interest due to its capabilities.Monoids
This document discusses monoids and provides examples of defining monoids for strings, integers, and lists in Scala. It explains that a monoid is a type A along with a binary operation and identity element that satisfy associativity and identity properties. It demonstrates folding a list using different monoids, including a string monoid that concatenates strings and an integer monoid that sums integers. The document also shows how to define a list monoid that concatenates lists and uses monoids to manipulate a JSON string by redacting sensitive fields.

The document also discusses practical sessions on creating impact case studies and notes that early preparation will be important.Climate: Past, Present, Future [Prof John McClatchey]
- The document provides an overview of past, present, and future climate, including what controls climate, evidence from ice cores of past climate cycles, historical temperature records, and predictions from climate models.
- Climate models predict a temperature increase between 1.1-6.4°C and sea level rise of 0.18-0.54m by 2100 depending on emissions scenarios, with major impacts such as more extreme weather.
- While not perfect, climate models have been improved and simulate past climate well, giving confidence in their predictions of significant future warming and impacts from increasing greenhouse gases if emissions are not reduced.
Developing Food & Drink Markets For Orkney Cereals [Peter Martin]
Developing Food & Drink Markets For Orkney Cereals [Peter Martin]University of the Highlands and Islands
The document discusses developing new cereal markets in Orkney, Scotland by testing early maturing varieties from Northern Europe. Research has found Finnish wheat and oat varieties can grow successfully in Orkney's cool, short season. Trials of these varieties are creating new opportunities for whisky, beer, and bakeries. Further testing of additional Northern European varieties in 2010 indicated several have high potential. Future work will involve wider testing and investigating grain qualities and new market opportunities.¡Gracias Campoamor!
La Unión Europea ha propuesto un nuevo paquete de sanciones contra Rusia que incluye un embargo al petróleo ruso. El embargo se aplicaría gradualmente durante seis meses para el petróleo crudo y ocho meses para los productos refinados. El objetivo es aumentar la presión económica sobre Rusia para que ponga fin a su invasión de Ucrania.
