Exploring the future of scholarly publishing of biodiversity dataVishwas Chavan
Little more than decade back biodiversity data publishing was opportunistic and secondary spin-off activity of the biodiversity research and conservation management chain. Today, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility facilitate free and open access to over 420 million primary biodiversity data records contributed by publishers across the globe. This is an outcome of a growing realization that free and open access to biodiversity data is crucial to take informed decisions and actions for sustainable use of biotic resources and conservation of biodiversity areas. In recent past use of biodiversity data in research, conservation and management activities is on rise. However, users often complain about the low degree of ‘fitness-for-use’ of the accessible data. Most of the times potential use of data is hampered because of lack of adequate metadata, that can demonstrate the fintness-for-use of a given dataset.
To overcome this an appropriate incentivisation mechanism is essential, that can provide due credit and acknowledgement to a research groups for their efforts in authoring good metadata. In recent past a concept of ‘scholarly data publishing’ is being talked about where in both data and metadata undergo peer-review similar to other scientific publications. Pensoft publishing has launched a fresh data only journal called ‘Biodiversity Data Journal, and accepts data papers in six of its other journal titles. European aquatic biodiversity community through EU funded project ‘BioFresh’ has engaged with editors of 29 aquatic biodiversity journals to being accepting data papers. GBIF node in Columbia and South Africa are planning to kick start a journal that will publish data papers. Recently, Nature Publishing Group has announced a peer-reviewed data publishing only journal called ‘Scientific Data’. These developments announce the arrival of the new data publishing era ‘Scholarly Data Publishing’. Biodiversity science and biodiversity informatics stands to gain a lot by being on the forefront of this tide.
Governments and their administrative agencies continuously create, collect, manage, and store vast quantities of digital data and information, including a broad range of scientific and technical data, and increasingly disseminate much of it online. There is a growing recognition by both the public and private sectors of the importance of such public sector information (PSI) to the economy and society. Despite this recognition, there is surprisingly a poor understanding of how PSI is actually used, especially by individual users, its economic and social value and impact, and of the effects of different access and use policies. There is a concomitant lack of comprehensive or detailed empirical data about the users and effects of PSI disseminated on the internet, and of the different policy approaches to the dissemination of PSI.
This presentation will describe some of the issues in measuring the economic and social effects of PSI and summarize the methodologies used in such assessments.

Open Data: Barriers, Risks, and OpportunitiesSlim Turki, Dr.
Despite the development of Open Data platforms, the wider deployment of Open Data still faces significant barriers. It requires identifying the obstacles that have prevented e-government bodies either from implementing an Open Data strategy or from ensuring its sustainability.
This paper presents the results of a study carried out between June and November 2012, in which we analyzed three cases of Open Data development through their platforms, in a medium size city (Rennes, France), a large city (Berlin, Germany), and at national level (UK). It aims to draw a clear typology of challenges, risks, limitations and barriers related to Open Data. Indeed the issues and constraints faced by re-users of public data differ from the ones encountered by the public data providers. Through the analysis of the experiences in opening data, we attempt to identify how barriers were overcome and how risks were managed. Beyond passionate debates in favor or against Open Data, we propose to consider the development of an Open Data initiative in terms of risks, contingency actions, and expected opportunities. We therefore present in this paper the risks to Open Data organized in 7 categories: (1) governance, (2) economic issues, (3) licenses and legal frameworks, (4) data characteristics, (5) metadata, (6) access, and (7) skills.

Digital transformation to enable a FAIR approach for health data scienceVarsha Khodiyar
Invited talk for ConTech Pharma on 1st March 2022
Abstract
Health Data Research UK is the UK’s national institute for health data science, with a mission to unite the UK’s health data to enable discoveries that improve people’s lives. In this talk, Dr Varsha Khodiyar will outline how HDR UK is bringing together disparate health data from all four countries of the United Kingdom, creating the infrastructure to enable discovery of and access to health data, and the convening standards making bodies to improve data linkage and data reuse. Varsha will also discuss how HDR UK is moving beyond the traditional confines of FAIR data to also ensure that data sharing and data use is transparent and ‘fair’ for the patients and lay public who are the subjects of these datasets.

Guidelines for governance of data sharing in agri foodSjaak Wolfert
Big Data is becoming a new asset in the agri-food sector including enterprise data from operational systems, sensor data, farm equipment data, etc. Recently, Big Data applications are being implemented to improve farm and chain performance in agri-food networks. Still, many companies are refraining from sharing data because of fear of governance issues such as data insecurity, or lack of privacy or liability, among others. To overcome such barriers for developments with Big Data, this paper aims at: 1) analysing governance issues in agri-food networks, and 2) introducing a set of guidelines for data-sharing. Based on a literature review, a framework for analysing agri-food networks was developed, with internal governance factors (efficiency, effectiveness, inclusiveness, legitimacy & accountability, credibility and transparency) and external governance factors (political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental factors). The framework contributes to development of a set of draft guidelines. Accordingly, for each factor, the guidelines address issues, best practices and lessons learned from other projects and initiatives. The approach developed in this paper creates a baseline for possible future developments of Big data in terms of 1) upscaling of the guidelines at a global level, 2) refining and fine-tuning of the guidelines for context specific agri-food networks, and 3) contributing to solving governance challenges in data sharing. In the future, the relevance of Big Data in the agri-food domain is expected to increase, and so are the contributions of this approach.

Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
WRI’s brand new “Food Service Playbook for Promoting Sustainable Food Choices” gives food service operators the very latest strategies for creating dining environments that empower consumers to choose sustainable, plant-rich dishes. This research builds off our first guide for food service, now with industry experience and insights from nearly 350 academic trials.

Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular zoonotic protozoan parasite, infect both humans and animals population worldwide. It can also cause abortion and inborn disease in humans and livestock population. In the present study total of 313 domestic animals were screened for Toxoplasma gondii infection. Of which 45 cows, 55 buffalos, 68 goats, 60 sheep and 85 shaver chicken were tested. Among these 40 (88.88%) cows were negative and 05 (11.12%) were positive. Similarly 55 (92.72%) buffalos were negative and 04 (07.28%) were positive. In goats 68 (98.52%) were negative and 01 (01.48%) was recorded positive. In sheep and shaver chicken the infection were not recorded.

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

Incomplete/absent documentation on methods,
datasets and assumptions, varying definitions
Data sources, definitions,
methodologies and assumptions are
clearly described
to facilitate replication and assessment and
the limits of their applicability
2
Accuracy and
communicating
uncertainty
Nationally incomparable estimates due to different
methods and definitions (and poor documentation)
Methods and datasets can change over time (not
always well documented)
Large or fully missing uncertainty data for land use
activities (emissions, AD, EF)
information is accurate, reliable and
customizable
Allows assessing differences in estimating,
allocating and reporting GHG emissions
Promotes use of similar methods and
datasets along time
Gives clear estimates of uncertainty
3
Consistency and
completeness
Lack of consistency and completeness from different
inventory approaches and methods
Forest and land use categories are defined differently
by different stakeholders
Temporal inconsistency due to changing data sources,
methods and monitoring objectives
Monitoring framework can accommodate
technological developments and
evolving policy objectives in estimation
and reporting
Can also reprocess historical estimates as
appropriate
6. Elements and limitations of transparent monitoring, and benchmarks II
Elements limitations and challenges best-practice approach
4
Comparability and
interoperability
Many different independent datasets exist without
comparative analysis nor good practice advice on how
to use them in an interoperable way
Different stakeholders produce their own data for their
purposes
Considerations and needs of multiple
stakeholders/users are reflected from
the beginning
Datasets provide flexibility to respond
to different needs
5
Complementarity
and scale
Not enough understanding on how to
use/integrate/compare complementary data and
methods
Multi-scale (nesting) approaches difficult by
methodological inconsistencies
Expands/complements/ integrates/
improves ongoing monitoring systems
Provides data that can support
national independent verification
Flexible to accommodate a diversity of
spatial and temporal scales
6
Reproducibility
and adaptability
gaps in data and capacities Expands/complements/ integrates/
improves existing datasets and
capacities
7. Elements and limitations of transparent monitoring, and benchmarks III
Elements limitations and challenges best-practice approach
7
Access and
distribution
Ease of data access is scale dependent (e.g. global datasets
easier to publicly access) with national and local scales
harder to access freely and openly
New methodologies and datasets can lead to confusion
Unintuitive data portals limit access and usability to non-
technical stakeholder
Technical/human capacity limitations
Legitimacy not always recognized
Publicly available data, tools or
methods with detailed documentation
on data processing and creation
information can serve as authoritative
reference for many kinds of stakeholder
needs
Legitimacy with stakeholders and ease
of access
8
Participation
and equity
Monitoring progress is often driven and assessed by
technological developments
All relevant stakeholders (i.e. those
involved in achieving land use sector
mitigation) are involved
They regularly inform and contribute to
MRV
9
Responsibility
and accounta-
bility
Poor quality data, low capacity and confusion over numbers
often impede accountability. Societal implications of
monitoring are often not considered
Different land use sector mitigation
stakeholders can be made accountable
for their activities and actions
