Open Science - Paradigm Shift or Revival of Old Ideas?
Open science is both an old idea and a new paradigm. While openness has long been a principle of science, tools now enable unprecedented sharing of data and collaboration. This represents both continuity with past openness and a potential shift in how science is conducted. Open science may transform scientific practice through new tools and attitudes that facilitate global sharing of research. However, openness also presents challenges regarding privacy, complex issues, and influencing results that must be addressed.
Crowdsourcing has become a tool for innovation at NASA. Here is how?
Crowdsourcing is becoming an increasingly important tool for innovation at NASA. It allows NASA to tap into new communities and individuals to generate ideas. Examples of successful crowdsourcing programs include Disk Detective, where over 28,000 volunteers helped analyze telescope data and were credited as co-authors on research papers, and the International Space Apps Challenge, a hackathon where thousands of apps have been developed using NASA data. Crowdsourcing challenges like the Space Poop Challenge generate novel solutions to technical problems from experts in non-space fields. NASA also uses citizen forums to gauge public views on initiatives to inform their work.

The document discusses building the capacities of the next generation of community-based participatory researchers. It summarizes a workshop on this topic held in New Delhi, India in April 2015. The workshop brought together experts from academia and civil society who discussed strategies for training students in participatory research methods and building partnerships between universities and communities. Key challenges mentioned include a lack of training opportunities in participatory research and difficulties in securing resources to support community-engaged teaching and research. Participants shared ideas and experiences from different regions on promoting participatory research through experiential learning, creating "social laboratories" on campus, and fostering champions and networks of support.What is Open Science and what role does it play in Development?

Design DissertationDeveloping a coherent methodologyAimTo p.docx
This document provides an overview of key concepts for developing a coherent research methodology for a design dissertation. It discusses what methodology is, the aims of a dissertation, common research paradigms like positivism and constructivism, and how design research differs from traditional scientific research in being exploratory rather than aiming for universal rules. Design research is described as a dynamic process using design itself as a means of study through projects, sketches, and responding to changing conditions.
Open science / open research
Open science refers to making scientific research and data accessible to all. It includes open access to publications, open data, open source software, open notebooks, and citizen science. The European Union supports open science to increase transparency, collaboration and innovation in research. A workshop was held in South Africa to help develop an open science policy, with feedback that the policy will be finalized in September 2018 after additional workshops with European Union involvement. Open science aims to make the entire research process publicly available and reusable to maximize scientific progress.

This document summarizes a presentation on the social impact of Wikipedia and open knowledge. It discusses how open science practices like publishing open research and data can make scientific knowledge more accessible. While public engagement with open science may inspire both laypeople and researchers, it also risks intellectual property abuse if not practiced skillfully. The presentation argues that Wikipedia and open knowledge empower underprivileged parts of society by making knowledge more widely available. However, using new technologies to communicate science openly also requires having the right attitude rather than just resources. Scientists are encouraged to publish in open access journals, maintain blogs and social media, and edit Wikipedia to help close the digital divide.

This document discusses open education and open educational resources (OER). It defines open education as forms of education where knowledge and teaching methods are freely shared online. The open education movement is based on sharing knowledge freely and enabling collaboration. OER include textbooks, courseware, activities, and media that can be reused, redistributed, revised, and remixed under open licenses like Creative Commons. Using OER lowers costs, increases access, and allows for adaptable, learner-designed materials through community sharing. The conclusion states that sharing is the basic characteristic of education.
Open access impact
Open access to research has been shown to accelerate the research cycle and increase citations and usage of articles. In high-energy physics, researchers have openly shared preprints for decades through arXiv, allowing findings to be rapidly built upon. Analysis of arXiv usage shows the time between preprint posting and citation has significantly decreased as open access has increased. Studies also consistently find that open access articles receive more citations, with some seeing a 600% increase, than articles hidden behind paywalls. However, journal impact factors should not be used to evaluate individual researchers or papers, as they measure prestige rather than use or quality.

It discusses how open science and open knowledge can help bridge the gap between researchers and citizens by making scientific research and data accessible to all. It provides examples of how scientists can engage in open knowledge practices like publishing open access research, blogging, and editing Wikipedia to help communicate scientific knowledge to a broader audience. The presentation argues that open knowledge tools can help empower underprivileged parts of society and reduce the digital divide by providing more equitable access to information.
The Ecology of Sharing: Synthesizing OER Research
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.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

THEMATIC APPERCEPTION TEST(TAT) cognitive abilities, creativity, and critic...Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan,kP,Pakistan
hematic appreciation test is a psychological assessment tool used to measure an individual's appreciation and understanding of specific themes or topics. This test helps to evaluate an individual's ability to connect different ideas and concepts within a given theme, as well as their overall comprehension and interpretation skills. The results of the test can provide valuable insights into an individual's cognitive abilities, creativity, and critical thinking skillsThe binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
