Tamper-proof digital certificates will be needed by every education provider in the coming years and discussions about standards, metadata and validation, are slowly leading to tangible results. In May 2022, I had the pleasure to give a presentation on "Blockchain for Certificates" at the European Association of Distance Learning (EADL) in Copenhagen. Besides our Moodle plugin, I also mentioned the European Digital Credentials for Learning (EDCL) framework and the ESCO competence model. This is contrasted with the German model, which is currently being developed by xHochschule.
This presentation is held at the EPIC 2019 conference in Lille, 16-18 oct, 2019 and shows several technical challenges as identified during SURF's Edubadges pilot.

Es wird eine Lösung für Moodle vorgestellt mit einer Blockchain Validierung. Es wird auch der Stand in der EU mit dem Europass gezeigt und die Vor- und Nachteile der Blockchain. Die TH Lübeck hat inzwischen weit über 1.000 Bildungsnachweise damit vergeben.
DigiCerts - Erste Umsetzung in der BlockchainAndreas Wittke
Seit Februar 2020 vergibt die TH Lübeck digitale Weiterbildungszertifikate mit einer Blockchain Technologie. Inzwischen gibt es eine Menge an Erfahrungen und Weiterentwicklungen, z.B. den Europass, der xHochschule Standard, die Verifiable Credentials usw. In Zukunft werden dank dem Onlinezugangsgesetz alle Zeugnisse digital vergeben werden müssen. Es werden auch digitale Identitäten kommen, wie der digitale Personalausweis. Die digitale Bachelor/Master-Urkunde steht auch vor der Tür und die Hochschulen aber auch die Schulen werden digitalisiert.
The Life Cycle of an Open Source MOOC Platform Andreas Wittke
Seit 2014 wird an der Technischen Hochschule Lübeck an der MOOC Plattform mooin gearbeitet. Inzwischen das System mehrmals überarbeitet und angepasst. Es ist inzwischen die Firmenwebseite von der oncampus GmbH als auch das Forschungslabor des Instituts für interaktive Systeme oder auch die Grundlage des zukünftigen Future Skills Projekts in Schleswig-Holstein. Aus Moodle wurde eine MOOC-Plattform und später eine Metaplattform bzw. ein Framework. Die Slides zeigen eine Zusammenfassung der letzten 8 Jahre und der Vortrag fand bei der Moodle User Association statt.

Die Meta-Plattform FutureSkills soll alle Hochschulen Schleswig-Holsteins verbinden und ein gemeinsames Kursangebot erschaffen. Neben gemeinsamen Meta-Standards für Kursbeschreibungen und Zertifikaten, soll hier auch ein Angebot für Open Educational Resources und ein Single-Sign-On geschaffen werden. Hier können Studierende aktuelle Angebote für digitale Kompetenzen erwerben, die sie für die Herausforderungen der Digitalisierung benötigen und die nicht unmittelbar in ihren Curricula verankert sind.
Vortrag beim Bitkom AK Learning Solutions zum Online Zugangs Gesetz und der Bedeutung digitaler Zertifikate. Digitale Zertifikate schützen vor Fälschung, sind maschinell verarbeitbar und natürlich smart und flexibel. Mehr Infos unter
Ab dem Jahr 2023 sind digitale Zeugnisse/Zertifikate in Deutschland Pflicht. Dann tritt das Onlinezugangsgesetz (OZG) in Kraft und es beginnt die Digitalisierung in Deutschland. An der TH Lübeck wurde eine Lösung für digitale Zertifikate auf Blockchain Basis entwickelt, die inzwischen rechtssicher und produktionsreif ist. Dabei wurde ein Moodle Plugin als Open Source entwickelt und es wird zusammen mit dem Fraunhofer Institut FIT ein Verein gegründet www.digicerts.de
Vortrag vom Januar 2021 bei OpenCampus SH zum Thema Blockchain in der Hochschule, dem Onlinezugangsgesetz und natürlich den digitalen rechtssicheren Zertifikaten von der TH Lübeck und DigiCerts. Es wurde erstmal auch eine intergrierte Anbindung an eine Wallet auf einem Smartphone vorgestellt.

Digitale Bildung in einem Satz erklärt "Früher kam der Lerner zum Wissen, heute kommt das Wissen zum Lerner". Bei meinem Vortrag beim Forum Distance Learning hab ich versucht, den gesamten Prozess der Bildung neu zu denken. Dank KI, Smartphone und den Erfahrungen aus den MOOCs und OER können wir heute Bildung ohne Gebäude verwirklichen und das bei gleicher Qualität. Die Zukunft wird spannend werden.
MOOChub, der Weg zu neuen digitalen Standards in der Bildung Andreas Wittke
Vortrag bei der HFDcon in Bonn zum Thema Standards, Metadaten und Blockchain. Der MOOChub wurde von den MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) Anbietern OpenHPI, iMooX und oncampus entwickelt und versucht eine Einigkeit in der Plattform-Entwicklung zu erreichen. Diese Diskussionen können nur im übergreifendem Diskurs z.B. in der EU (Digital Credentials Kommission) oder in der EBIS Gruppe (European Blockchain Infrastructure Service). Die kleinen Probleme sind inzwischen gelöst z.B. LMS, Mediendidaktik, Videos aber die großen Probleme zB Identity Management, Validierung, Austausch, User Experience. Meist geht es hier um ein neues Verständnis der Hochschule, wo der User plötzlich im Zentrum steht, statt der Hochschule.
Digitale Zeugnisse in Moodle mit einer Open Source Quorum BlockchainAndreas Wittke
Die TH Lübeck hat ein Moodle Plugin entwickelt, damit man als Aktivität digitale Zertifikate im erweiterten OpenBadge Standard anlegen kann. Das Plugin ist Open Source und als Blockchain wir die Open Source Quorum Blockchain von www.digicerts.de genutzt

Vortrag beim BMBF zu digitalen Zertifikaten/Digital Credentials
Eine kurze Zusammenfassung der Blockchain Education Konferenz in Lille(Frankreich) und die Vorstellung der DigiCerts Allianz gefolgt mit ersten Diskussionsergebnissen zum Einsatz von Blockchain als Infrastruktur und der zukünftigen Diskussion über Anerkennung, Austausch, Internationalisierung und Erfassung von Kompetenzen in einem zukünftigen Austauschformat. Hochschulen können heute nicht mehr als Inseln arbeiten, sondern gemeinsame Standards schaffen.
Bots in Education - Was kann, was wurde und was wird gemachtAndreas Wittke
Die Bildung kommt zum Lernenden und verändert damit die Anforderungen grundlegend. Online Kurse sollen sofort starten und man will nicht mehr auf ein gemeinsames Startdatum
warten. MOOCs (Massive Open Onloine Courses) waren der erste Schritt in die digitale ortsunabhängige Bildung und haben das Problem des Ortes gelöst, der nächste Schritt ist aber das Wann. Selbstlernkurse sollen immer starten können, daher sollte die Betreuung dank automatisierter didaktischer Konzepte gegen Null gehen. Ein KI Bot könnte hier neue Lösungsansätze bieten und erste Erfahrungen machen Mut.
Vortrag bei der KI Konferenz 2019 in Kiel
Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Professional air quality monitoring systems provide immediate, on-site data for analysis, compliance, and decision-making.
Monitor common gases, weather parameters, particulates.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
