This document summarizes a presentation given by Maija Metsä-Pauri of Statistics Finland about statistical communication and quality in the age of open data. It discusses how user needs are changing with digitalization and social media, requiring a shift from data dissemination to active communication. Statistics Finland has launched new interactive websites and a blog to better engage with readers. It also emphasizes the importance of statisticians telling statistical stories, collaborating with data journalists, and focusing on quality over quantity of information as open data becomes more prevalent.
The document discusses the establishment of a Nordic PIAAC Database containing data from the OECD's Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC) and national registers from five Nordic countries and Estonia. The goals of the Nordic PIAAC Network, which is financing the database, are to create the database, publish a report on skills in the Nordic region, and make the microdata available for other research. The database will contain background questionnaire data, cognitive scores, and register data from national sources and will be housed securely at Statistics Denmark with researchers applying for access. Combining survey and register data provides more information and allows the database to be updated over time.
This company provides discovery and proof-of-concept capabilities including antiviral testing, antibiotic testing, animal models, vaccine testing, and assay/reagent development. They have a 10,500 square foot facility in Gaithersburg, Maryland and over $40 million in government grants and contracts. Their services focus on infectious diseases and include testing viral and bacterial strains, developing animal models of disease, evaluating vaccine immunogenicity and efficacy, and optimizing cytokine and biomarker assays.
The document discusses a proposal for a new coordinated register in Norway that would collect employment and earnings data from employers directly to the Norwegian Tax Administration, Labour and Welfare Service, and Statistics Norway. This would consolidate data reporting from six separate processes currently down to just one. The new register would provide more complete, timely, and higher quality data on employment, earnings, and labor costs compared to current methods. It would benefit all three receiving authorities through improved statistics, reduced costs, and new analytical possibilities if employers provide the data as proposed. Some challenges remain around ensuring the employment data is actually reported as the system is implemented.

A guide about dishwashers outlines their benefits such as cleaning dishes faster than humans and having many buttons to push. However, dishwashers cannot bake turkeys, clean pets without harming them, or diffuse bombs. The conclusion advises using dishwashers safely without injuring oneself.
This document discusses how official statistics can meet new needs for management information. It outlines a generic framework for describing challenges and approaches. The framework shows the life cycle of policy problems from problem recognition through policy implementation to follow up. It discusses user needs for timely, detailed, and accessible data. The challenges for statistics include slow response times, inflexibility, and siloed data. Opportunities include using models and microdata for research, standardizing processes, integrating administrative and statistical data, and flexible dissemination. Centralizing or decentralizing systems involves tradeoffs. The conclusion emphasizes statistics' role in democracy and the need to involve statistics early in policy processes while maintaining quality.

This document provides information on the nervous system. It begins by outlining learning outcomes related to describing the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems, understanding their functions, and explaining how a nervous impulse is transmitted and the physiology behind lesions. It then provides details on the structure and function of the spinal cord and brain, including the components and roles of the central and peripheral nervous systems. It describes how damage to different parts of the nervous system can result in paralysis and other effects, depending on the severity, location, and type of neurons involved.

2. Слышишь какая музыка
гремит в лесу? Можно
подумать, что все звери,
птицы и насекомые
родились на свет певцами
и музыкантами.
Только не у каждого голос
есть. Послушай чем и как
поют безголосые.
3. Лягушки на озере начали еще с ночи. Надули пузыри
за ушами, высунули головы из воды, рты приоткрыли.
"Ква-а-а-а-а!.." — одним духом пошел из них воздух.
4. Услыхал их Аист из деревни. Поднял длинный клюв,
застучал, затрещал одной его половинкой о другую, - то
тише, то громче, то реже, то чаще: трещотка трещит
деревянная, да и только!
5. В камышах стояла Выпь на одной ноге, слушала. Сунула
в озеро клюв, набрала полный воды да как дунет в
клюв! Пошел по озеру громкий гул: "Прумб-бу-бубумм!.." — словно бык проревел..
6. "Вот так песня! — подумал Дятел. Хвостом уперся, назад
откинулся, размахнулся головой — как задолбит носом
по суку! Точь-в-точь — барабанная дробь.
7. Вылез из-под коры Жук с длинными-предлинными
усами. Закрутил, закрутил головой, заскрипела его жесткая
шея – тоненький-тоненький писк послышался.
Пищит усач, а все напрасно; никто его писка не слышит.
8. А внизу, под деревом, из гнезда вылез Шмель и полетел
петь на лужок. Вокруг цветка на лужку кружит, жужжит
жилкаватыми жесткими крылышками, словно струна гудит.
9. Разбудила шмелиная песня зеленую Саранчу в траве.
Стала Саранча скрипочки налаживать. Скрипочки у нее на
крылышках,а вместо смычков— длинные задние лапки
коленками назад. Трет себя Саранча ножками по бокам,
зазубринками за зацепочки задевает— стрекочет.
10. Бекас выскочил из-под кочки, залетел под самые
облака. Хвост раскрыл веером, выпрямил крылышки,
перевернулся носом к земле и понесся вниз. В хвосте у
него тонкие, узкие перышки ветром перебирает.
И слышно с земли: будто барашек заблеял. А это
Бекас. Чем он поет? Хвостом!
