Oxford Discover 4 Answer Key

[Shawana Kallhoff]

Nanoporetechnology makes sequencing accessible to a diverse user community, from high school citizen scientists to individual research groups, genomic service facilities, and up to production-scale genomic programmes. At our core is innovation, which we develop into sample-to-answer solutions enabled by our commitment to customer support. Whether you want to sequence out in the field or on the lab bench, nanopore sequencing gives you rapid, scalable, and affordable access to rich genomic insights.

Nanopore sequencing delivers the freedom to explore the rich genomic landscape in the way you want. Today, it is an indispensable tool to scientists making ground-breaking discoveries in cancer research, microbiology, animal and environmental research, infectious diseases, and large-scale genome analysis programmes.

Would you like your students to be more involved in class? Oxford Discover uses inquiry-based learning to tap into students' natural curiosity. This approach enables them to ask their own questions, find their own answers and explore the world around them.

A big picture and video introduce the topic and the Big Question. Students then answer supporting questions that encourage them to think about the topic and the Big Question more deeply. Next, a Big Question Chart asks students to assess what they know and what they want to know.

As students continue, they discover many answers to the Big Question. They read authentic fiction and nonfiction texts that offer different views on the topic. Summative projects let students gather together what they have learned and present it in a creative way. Finally, students write what they have learned on the Big Question Chart.

A controlled vocabulary and grammar syllabus gives students the language support they need to explore and discuss each topic and Big Question. Oxford Discover builds strong communication skills as students listen, speak, read, and write throughout each unit.

The parliamentary question is a great way for MPs and Peers to discover information which the government may not wish to reveal. Ministers reply via written answers, a list of which gets published daily.

Development has detrimental effects on the natural conditions for human development around the globe. Therefore, the fourth course of specialisation, Global Governance of Development, will scrutinise the governance of partnerships launched by different International Organizations with regional, state, and local actors to address contemporary energy and climate development challenges.

We live in the era of the Anthropocene, in which humans have a profound impact on Earth. During this period of expansive industrialisation propelled by fossil fuels, humans altered dangerously and unpredictably planetary conditions and processes on which human societies depend. The deterioration of ecological conditions endangers the accomplishment of SDGs.

This course introduces the global governance institutions addressing Anthropocene challenges at the crossroads of climate change and energy transitions. During this course, students will acquire essential knowledge, analytical tools and professional skills related to the governance of Anthropocene challenges in partnerships with global, regional, national, and local actors. Planetary challenges of the Anthropocene era reflect global systemic connections and interdependencies between human activities and ecosystems. During this course, we will try to answer how planetary challenges are defined. Who has the authority to govern them in global international institutions? What are the solutions proposed, and how are they implemented? Therefore, we will study global political aspects of controversies surrounding climate and energy and their societal consequences around the globe. In this way, we will also link governance with challenges with prospects of accomplishing SDGs. Therefore, we will also introduce project management tools allowing the design of practical solutions to some aspects of planetary challenges meeting SDGs ambitions in local partnership.

During the lectures, we will introduce the essential features of the Anthropocene and the earth systems governance from the analytical perspective of Complex Social Systems and Global Regimes Complex. Using these analytical perspectives, students will understand the complexity of global environmental, climate and energy policies as an evolving system of overlapping and complementary institutions, organisations, and regimes. We will focus on the challenges and solutions related to human dependency on energy resources and how international regimes promote the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. Furthermore, we will analyse international institutions and actors involved in the global governance of climate change challenges and focus on the interplay between global commitments and state processes. To understand the complexity of global planetary challenges and pathways to address them, we will simulate the developmental interdependencies through the En-ROADS-Climate Action Simulation model.

After the introductory workshop on project management in International Organizations, during tutorials, we will also initiate the assemblage of a project proposal contributing to tackling climate change challenges by defining the problem we want to tackle. We will continue our project design trajectory during the following two tutorials and focus on relevant stakeholders and project objectives. After the introductory workshop, we will develop the theory of change and a plan for problem-solving actions during two tutorials and learn how to conceptualise and measure appropriate indicators. We will also learn about various tools (briefs, blogs, podcasts) to disseminate our proposed project solutions and policy recommendations.

Finally, during this course, we will discover practical examples of dealing with regional, national, and local planetary challenges. We will meet practitioners from international institutions to learn about their everyday work of policy design, implementation, and evaluation.
