Shared services in higher education IT management can provide economies of scale through collaboration between institutions. There are perceived barriers to shared services like irrecoverable VAT and cultural resistance, but these can be overcome. Effective shared services require careful consideration of the details in designing and implementing systems. A four step approach involves disaggregating systems, transferring to cloud architectures, sharing one architecture across institutions, and sharing transactional services. The University Modernisation Fund aims to facilitate shared services through initiatives like a procurement marketplace, cloud infrastructure brokerage, and shared research systems.
This document discusses funding models for open access digital repositories. It outlines 14 potential funding sources, grouped into 6 classes: institutional, philanthropy, research, audience, service, and volunteer. Direct funding from the state is preferred but many repositories receive only partial funding and must pursue blended models. Failure to establish sustainable funding risks closure of the repository and loss of data, expertise, and infrastructure. A blended approach is being pursued to support the long-term needs of open access.
Funding models for open access digital repositoriesrobkitchin
Across jurisdictions and domains (academia, government, business) there has been much recent attention paid to open forms of knowledge production (e.g., open-source software, open data/metadata, open infrastructures) and the creation of open digital repositories for the unrestricted sharing of data, publications and other resources. This paper focuses on the latter, documenting and critically examining 14 different funding streams, grouped into six classes (institutional, philanthropy, research, audience, service, volunteer), being pursued by open digital repositories to support their endeavours, with a particular focus on academic research data repositories. Whilst open digital repositories are free to access, they are not without significant cost to build and maintain, and unstable and cyclical funding poses considerable risks to their futures and the digital collections they hold. While the political and ethical debate concerning the merits of open access and open data is important, we argue that just as salient are concerns with respect to long-term, sustainable funding for the operation and maintenance of open access digital repositories.

Mycotoxins are low-molecular-weight natural products produced by fungi and are capable of causing disease and death. Mycotoxins are typically found in grain products and their occurrence is increased under certain heat and humidity conditions. Regulatory levels have been set for mycotoxin levels, and are dependent on the end use of the food products. Mycotoxin levels can vary widely within the same crop, creating a potential need for increased testing to provide more accurate mycotoxin levels. A high-speed UHPLC method was developed that could provide separation of eight common mycotoxins in less than two minutes to allow for increased testing. Details of the method will be presented.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
