CRISPR: what it is, and why it is having a profound impact on human healthPistoia Alliance
This document summarizes a webinar on CRISPR that included presentations from experts in gene editing and bioinformatics. The webinar provided an overview of CRISPR and how it works using the Cas9 enzyme and guide RNA to make precise cuts in DNA. It discussed how CRISPR is being used for gene knockout studies, clinical trials to treat diseases like cystic fibrosis and cancer, and the challenges of predicting off-target effects. The webinar highlighted both the promise and challenges of CRISPR for accelerating scientific discovery and developing new gene therapies.
This document discusses platform cooperativism and its relationship to the free software movement. It provides examples of platform cooperatives like Stocksy, a stock photo platform owned by its photographers. The document advocates that platform cooperatives can build movements for freedom in a way that proprietary platforms cannot. It outlines resources for learning about platform cooperativism, including conferences and a directory, and encourages people to get involved in supporting existing platform co-ops or starting new ones.
Using Facebook, Twitter & Instagram to build interest in your clubAndrew Hesselden
Using social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, the presenter discusses how Millwall Rugby Club built interest in their club by capitalizing on attention around the Rugby World Cup. They followed people in the local area discussing rugby-related hashtags and posts to build their audience. During the tournament, they promoted membership offers, return-to-rugby programs for beginners, and opportunities to watch matches at their club. This led to increased attendance at training sessions and the recruitment of 75 new members through their return-to-rugby program. The presenter provides tips for clubs to set goals for their social media use, be realistic about time commitments, and ensure they deliver a good experience for any new members or visitors
This is a presentation on the basics of bitcoin, some of the legal considerations surrounding bitcoin, and some of the opportunities presented by bitcoin.
Innovation is key area as part of both productivity and expanding opportunities for business.
Innovation is also a risky area as if poor decisions are made in terms of development then those could lead to issues product quality.

As the web development landscape rapidly changes, good communication and collaboration between multiple job functions is key to not just a project’s success, but to a successful career as a front end developer. In this talk, we’ll discuss why it is important to grow yourself into a “T-shaped” developer - someone with deep knowledge in front end development, who can collaborate across multiple other disciplines. You'll leave knowing how to incorporate essential empathy and communication skills into your daily work life, leveling up your career, and the career of those around you.
Lawyer in Vietnam Oliver Massmann Impact of WTO Accession - An analysisDr. Oliver Massmann
The document discusses the impact of Vietnam's accession to the WTO in several key areas:
1. The economy experienced both opportunities in the form of increased trade and investment, as well as challenges in adapting industries to greater competition.
2. Specific industries like agriculture, manufacturing, and services underwent shifts towards higher technology and quality in order to compete internationally.
3. Socially, the accession created jobs but also increased inequality as some groups had more difficulty adapting to changes. Appropriate government policies helped address issues.
4. Compliance with WTO commitments and international trade law became important factors in Vietnam's policymaking and economic integration onto the global stage.
Feed in-tariff regulations and getting wind power projects done (en)Dr. Oliver Massmann
The document discusses wind power development in Vietnam. It provides a snapshot of Vietnam's wind power potential and status of existing projects. It then examines regulations around feed-in tariffs and whether wind power can be profitable under current tariffs. It also discusses negotiations with electricity companies over tariffs and challenges with obtaining necessary permits in a timely manner due to complex administrative procedures.

Verpleeghuiszorg 2025 - Liefdevolle zorg. Voor onze ouderenSignificant
Onze verpleeghuiszorg
Sommige Nederlanders hebben het beeld dat ouderen
in Nederlandse verpleeghuizen gezellig samen bingoën.
Wanneer hun partner of één van hun ouders vervolgens
naar een verpleeghuis gaat zijn zij soms diep teleurgesteld
in de daadwerkelijke situatie. Anderen roepen zodra ze het
woord ‘verpleeghuis’ horen, uitspraken als ‘daar wil ik nog
niet dood gevonden worden’ en zijn bij voorbaat negatief.
Ondertussen werkt het personeel keihard aan kwalitatief
goede zorg, maar vindt zij lang niet altijd waardering van
het sociale netwerk van hun cliënten en van de samenleving.
Kortom; niet iedereen ervaart ‘waardigheid en trots
en liefdevolle zorg voor onze ouderen’.
