Re-building employment relations? Mediation, partnership, and the management ...Acas Comms
This case study examines the introduction of an in-house mediation scheme in a NHS Primary Care Trust. There was initially high skepticism and adversarial relationships between management and unions. However, after union representatives were trained as mediators, the mediation scheme led to improved employment relations, less adversarial approaches to conflict, and strengthened partnership working. It also resulted in reduced grievances and claims, improved staff attitudes, and better resolution of disputes. The success of the mediation scheme was due to the active involvement of all stakeholders and the transformation of attitudes and behaviors between key parties.
This document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Specifically, it states that regular meditation practice can calm the nervous system and reduce feelings of stress.

Over time, meditation can rewire the brain's reactions to stress and lead to an overall sense of greater calm and emotional balance.
The document discusses using the Google Cloud Platform to build multi-platform mobile apps. It highlights key services like App Engine, Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, Cloud Datastore, and Cloud Endpoints that allow developers to focus on building apps while Google manages the infrastructure. Google's global network of data centers provide scalability, performance, disaster recovery and security. The document provides an example mobile app reference architecture and discusses how services like Cloud Endpoints, Push Notifications and Data Storage can be used to support app and game backends.
This document discusses issues with reproducibility in bioinformatics research and proposes standards to address it. It notes examples where requested data or code was unavailable after publication. It argues that journals should require availability of unpublished software and data for reviewers to replicate results. A proposal is made for an open review standard and website where reviewers can optionally assess reproducibility and generate a summary for their review. The goal is to improve transparency and code quality through peer incentives rather than mandates.

This document outlines Dr. Brown's research interests which focus on developing computational tools and approaches to analyze large and complex biological data sets from non-model organisms. Some key points include:
- His lab works on improving genome and transcriptome assembly from samples that are difficult to sequence such as metagenomes, single cells, and samples with high polymorphism.
- He describes developing techniques like "digital normalization" which can speed up downstream data analysis by compressing raw data in a lossy but information-preserving way.
- An example project involved assembling 1.8 terabases of soil metagenome sequence data from various locations, finding little strain-level variation but that phage sequences were abundant
