Digital Competences for Creating, Collaborating, Respecting…
Can we cultivate initiative and self-motivation in children to encourage their cooperation and communication with “anything, from anywhere, in anytime, on any device, by anybody”, using appropriate applications and rules? Can we provide children with digital environments for "being active builders of knowledge" and of their digital artefacts? Can we encourage their active involvement and social participation in meaningful activities, being strategic, engaging in self-regulation, being reflective (namely "how children learn")?

8B Lesson 1 fitness
The document discusses what it means to be fit and identifies the 4 S-factors of fitness as suppleness, strength, speed and stamina. It explains that fitness requires efficient organ systems to provide oxygen and remove carbon dioxide during respiration, which is the chemical reaction in muscle cells that uses glucose and oxygen to release energy. The document explores how activities affect pulse rate and the body systems involved in providing energy for exercise.

IMPDET-LE workshop in March 2013 - Expecations and competencies of PhD studentsUniversity of Eastern Finland, IMPDET-LE
PhD students are expected to be proactive and self-organized in managing their studies. They should take initiative to learn about relevant literature, research methodologies, and ethics. Students are also expected to build a research network by collaborating with other students and seniors. PhD studies require flexibility and an ability to deal with uncertainty. While independence is important, major decisions should be discussed with supervisors, who provide quality assurance and advice. Students should actively seek research funding and write at least one funding application. Plagiarism is not tolerated. Communication with supervisors should be regular, and students should take notes during meetings.Climate Knowledge for Communities

Francesco Pisano presentation in the Digital Storytelling, Crowdsourcing and Science Education for International Research and Training symposiumBig Data, Big Theology
This document discusses the potential for "Big Theology" using big data approaches to analyze and understand theological data on a large scale. It begins by defining big data and explaining how digital theology analyzes theologically relevant data through digital platforms and tools. The document then proposes that big theology could represent, store, retrieve, analyze, predict, and visualize theological phenomena based on a global collection of digital religious expressions and narratives. Finally, it provides examples of potential applications of big theology, such as a mobile catechism, using data to promote peace, technologies for sacred spaces, and assisting church leadership. It concludes by discussing challenges and opportunities for international collaboration on big theology projects.

Addictive links: Adaptive Navigation Support in College-Level CoursesUniversity of Eastern Finland, IMPDET-LE
Adaptive navigation support systems can increase student motivation and learning outcomes when used in online educational systems. Three key findings from the document:
1. Studies found adaptive navigation support significantly increased student activity, persistence, breadth of exploration, and learning gains compared to non-adaptive systems across different domains like programming, hypermedia, and examples.
2. Adaptive navigation was particularly effective for easier content, increasing success rates and attempts per question. For complex content, prerequisite-based guidance helped prepare students.
3. Social navigation using progress of peer students was also effective at increasing motivation and learning, replacing the need for extensive knowledge modeling in adaptive systems.CASCATE Project
This document summarizes a research project called CASCATE that studied technologies to support children with autism spectrum disorders. The project involved 4 children with autism who participated in weekly hour-long "action group" sessions over 2 years using 4 technology-based workstations. The sessions focused on creativity, strengths, modifiable technology, and transforming the children's role from passive users to active creators. The goals were to include these children in the research, focus on their strengths rather than disabilities, and develop a flexible technology-enhanced learning environment tailored to each child.

Transmedia is a emerging form of creating contents using different media, and it is successfully used for transmedia storytelling experience (Ciastellardi, 2013), where the elements of a fiction is dispersed across multiple delivery channels for the purpose of creating a unified and coordinated entertainment experience. Ideally, each medium makes it own unique contribution to the unfolding of the story (Jenkins, 2011). This paper present a novel approach to use transmedia literacy for improve learning skills on young people, specifically oriented to persons with intellectual disabilities.
In the context of the Spanish project: “Las narrativas transmediales: nuevos modos de ficción audiovisual, comunicación informativa y performance en la cultura digital” (Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad, Madrid, España, Ref. CSO201347288, 20142017)

Abstract
The emergence of new education policies based on data, learning analytics, tertiary market demand and access is not easily understood in our communities, even though many citizen consultation processes are administered online.
Much research captures tensions in global societal discourses about AI with particular reference to Ireland. Hitherto, there is scant social scientific research on societal attitudes towards AI; its value and limitations in education, citizen fears and emotions about AI technology which requires redress. Furthermore, there are even fewer studies that actively leverage knowledge from different professional groups (scientists, artists, educationalists, AI experts, sociologists, teachers) and citizens (e.g. older people, families who are members of ‘hard to reach’ groups and AI leaders) to understand individual and collective understandings of AI in education at primary, secondary, third and fourth level. This paper highlights the challenges on understanding the socio-cultural legitimacy of AI in Irish society yielding data that is highly relevant for government with regards to the structure of targeted information campaigns, communication with/to different citizen groups and usage of social media platforms and other media to enhance citizen attitudes towards AI.
These challenges can be overcome using an innovative methodological approach to link the needs of communities, governments and citizens which are multi-faceted and difficult to untangle with the speed that AI technology is developing and delivering educational solutions globally and nationally. There is a lack of societal awareness and understanding in relation to the potential benefits and limitations of AI, which can lead to misperceptions, heightened sense of risk, inertia and resistance to its adoption. Governments and organizations can work together to raise awareness about AI through education and outreach initiatives aimed at different communities (e.g. older people, children) but this necessitates greater knowledge about citizen perceptions of AI, information campaigns targeted at improved accessibility, usability and societal ‘buy in’ to AI and exposure to AI technologies that combine scientific expertise with artistic expression and skills. This research promotes a collaborative approach, non-confrontational approach that invokes open dialogue, transparency, citizen participation, and the sharing of resources and knowledge through the use of biographic narrative methodology.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
