Given the rapid and ongoing advances in biomedicine and biometric identification as well as in information technologies, personal medical and biometric data are used more than ever for a wide variety of purposes and increasingly also across organisational and state boundaries. Thus the crucial isssue of protecting personal data becomes more complex. Consequently, the ETHICAL project has launched a vivid international expert dialogue on key issues of ethical data handling in medical and biometric applications.
Mick Charney, associate professor of architecture and university distinguished teaching scholar, conducted the workshop "Hint Fiction, Vivid Grammar, and Word Clouds: Jump-Starting the Writing Imperative in Large Classes" at the inaugural Teaching Large Classes Conference July 23 at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia.
Charney's workshop demonstrated a variety of methods by which short, but meaningful writing assignments, can be introduced into even the largest classes in ways that enhance deep learning. Low-stakes exercises such as hint fiction pieces, vivid grammar doodled quizzes and collaborative word clouds improve students' long-term retention of course content while doubling as antidotes to millennials' distractedness. Yet they take little time in class, are easily assessed, leverage students' innate creative urges, and engage even the most jaded students.
He argued that, while the time-honored lecture teaching format remains the signature pedagogy of so many large introductory courses just exactly because it facilitates massive information transfers to multitudes of students, it has nevertheless been roundly condemned for its impersonal, passive, and unengaging nature. Charney presented the results of a survey of several hundred undergraduate students on their attitudes about large classes; and their responses indicate that they are not as adverse to such classes as one might suspect. From that data, he was able to suggest ways by which instructors can capitalize on students' positive perceptions of large classes and thereby reclaim the art of lecturing for a new age.
Charney delivered this same paper at the Big 12 Teaching and Learning Conference July 30 at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Charney also presented "Decoding Disney: Translating Imagineering Tricks into Teaching Strategies" at the conference.
Convinced that educators can learn much from the Disney brand of entertainment and its operational practices, Charney, who is an honorary Disney Imagineer, enumerated a full array of cleverly calculated Disney theme park secrets and then explained how each one, in turn, can be translated into enriched teaching strategies and memorable learning experiences.
Description: Undergraduates from any SU school or college who anticipate working with news sources are encouraged to join Newhouse School Librarian Michael Pasqualoni to boost effectiveness when using news and newspaper databases for exploring current or historical journalism, alternative press sources and publications outside the United States. Although not required, students are also encouraged to bring specific questions about a project or assignment that is in progress or anticipated.
Description: Creative Commons Licenses (CCLs) are everywhere, but why? What are they and what do they do? Why would you use one for your own work, and how can you reuse other works under CCLs? At this session, participants will learn about the anatomy of a CCL and what uses each license allows. Registrants will learn how CCLs work with US copyright law (and beyond). The workshop will prepare scholars, students, and staff to feel confident applying and interpreting CCLs in their work and scholarship.
Description: Are you a performer, creator, musician, aspiring musician, or music user? Want to make sure you're less likely to get a cease and desist letter from a big music producer if your video goes viral? Join Music and Performing Arts Librarian, Amanda DuBose, for an interactive workshop on the basics of fair use, how music copyright works, Public Domain, how you can find music you can use in your own projects, and protect your own original work. N.B.: Amanda is not a lawyer and will not be giving legal advice.
A panel on tuning the spectrum for health and productivity was moderated by Naomi Miller of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Observing that LEDs offer an opportunity to customize the spectrum, she noted the proliferation of color-tunable luminaires that are being marketed as enhancing health, mood, productivity, and enjoyment and bring with them such claims as increased alertness, improved sleep, and slowing of dementia symptoms.
Michael Royer of PNNL discussed the recently released IES TM-30-15, which details new metrics and tools for evaluating the color rendering characteristics of light sources. Royer, who is chair of the IES task group that developed TM-30, explained that it provides an improved color fidelity metric, based on a much more comprehensive set of 99 color samples compared to the eight on which CRI is based. He also discussed the color gamut metric, which is introduced in TM-30 and addresses the relative color saturation provided by a light source, and he gave a vivid on-stage demonstration to show how differences in color saturation affect the appearance of objects.
At an evening reception sponsored by the Next Generation Lighting Industry Alliance, attendees had an opportunity to network and to interact with hands-on exhibits of indoor and outdoor winners from the Next Generation LuminairesTM design competition. In addition, the reception featured a number of informative posters, videos, and demonstrations that were related to the workshop discussion topics, and that were presented by Philips, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the University of Portland, Navigant, the University of California at Berkeley, OLEDWorks, Acuity Brands, and EMD Performance Materials Corp.
Chips Chipalkatti of Dr. Chips Consulting built on the presentations of Dillon and Dzombak to discuss the creation of a model for sustainability beyond energy savings. He pointed out that there are millions of traditional lighting fixtures installed, with substantial embodied energy vested in them, and millions of SSL units have been installed over the last decade, some with early failures and others still working but already obsolete or at least no longer state-of-the-art. Chipalkatti proposed that the best way of conserving this embodied energy is remanufacturing, which is widely used in the home appliance industry. He defined remanufacturing as not just repair or refurbishing, but a systematic and large-scale process that can be repeated across the industry, and which saves energy while upgrading the product.
Abstract for Tutorial: With the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, there arose a need to identify candidate mutations for causality. A challenge often faced in identifying and inferring the causal SNPs from sequence data is that different methods need to be preferentially used to predict the effect of mutations for determining bona fidelity. While there are approaches focused on a wide array of highly sensitive, if not less stringent methods that the NGS has delivered in the recent past, this workshop aims to bridge the gap in using systems genomic approach taking command line scripts to Galaxy based workflows. A special focus of this workshop is on the current trends in genome analyses with special insights into NGS analysis. The sessions largely focus on whole exome sequencing (WES) and whole transcriptome shotgun sequencing (WTSS) or RNA-seq pipelines, and galaxy integrated workflows, latest trends on single cell sequencing with vivid demonstration of various steps of data analysis including quality control and generation of variant calls, gene expression. An ample time will be set aside for discussing case studies on various diseased phenotypes.
Identify and highlight blocks of hands-on content in your submission: As it is all run through linux servers, The organzers are requested to provide a minimum 1 TB RAM/64 processors/50 TB SATA HDD space/Ubuntu make/ for ensuring the participants login through ssh. A few days before the workshop, we will checkmark and benchmark our tools on the server. If in any case, it is not provided, we also have remote access to our participants from our own servers, but we may have to comply with security/firewall issues, if any. Galaxy, however, will be through cloud and all users are requested to have an account at usegalaxy.org. Galaxy based analysis will make use of the Galaxy Training Network ( ) as the content is supported on usegalaxy.org. Users intending to make use of Galaxy will be instructed to have already uploaded their data prior to the date of the tutorial. A handbook would be made available to the participants
Intended audience and level: The tutorial is intended for all biologists with a flair for bioinformatics, linux command line interface. The participants who do not have an a priori experience of linux commands will be allowed to acclimatise fast with precomputed scripts made available. The Galaxy framework will ease participants who are not familiar with linux command line interface. The tutorial is open for all those semi-experienced or experienced researchers who want to analyse their own data using NGS pipelines.
Blockchain technology has received all-around attention by the industry as well as academia since it offers numerous advantages. Much beyond its initial success in the finance sector, blockchain is getting progressively embraced by sectors like healthcare, government, manufacturing, energy, entertainment, and gaming. The proposed tutorial would be beneficial and of key interest for beginners, academician and researchers who are eager to find the promising role of blockchain.
