Abstract In this presentation, Susan Gregurick, Ph.D., Associate Director of Data Science and Director, Office of Data Science Strategy at the National Institutes of Health, will share the NIH’s vision for a modernized, integrated FAIR biomedical data ecosystem and the strategic roadmap that NIH is following to achieve this vision. Dr. Gregurick will highlight projects being implemented by team members across the NIH’s 27 institutes and centers and will ways that industry, academia, and other communities can help NIH enable a FAIR data ecosystem. Finally, she will weave in how this strategy is being leveraged to address the COVID-19 pandemic.

PIDs and their metadata support scholarly research and its increasing amounts and variety of scholarly output. DataCite provides services which enable the research community to identify, connect, cite and track these outputs, making content FAIR. New services include data level metrics and the use of identifiers for organizations and new types of content, e.g. software, repositories and instruments. As an open, collaborative and community driven membership organization we rely on our members for their input and experience to build services that are beneficial for the research community as a whole. DataCite services as well as current and future initiatives will be described and it will be shown how members can contribute and benefit. Over the course of the years, our membership has grown and diversified and we are therefore refreshing and clarifying our member model. The new member model will be presented and described.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YqAH3f9LiU Digital Transformation is a key goal of many large and small companies, as well as of most research institutes today. However, a key prerequisite and enabler of digital transformation is computational accessibility and interoperability of data, as laid out in the FAIR Data principles. The Hyve has been involved in the FAIR Data movement since the start, and for this webinar, our CEO Kees van Bochove will be talking to a very special guest, Ruben Kok, director of DTL. DTL and its predecessor NBIC, as well as ‘spinoff’ GO-FAIR have spent an enormous amount of effort in the past years on outreach, training, tools and community building around the FAIR Data Principles. Where do we stand today? What can we expect to see in the coming years for FAIR and FAIR biomedical data (e.g. Personal Health Train) in particular?

Michel Dumontier

Edge Informatics is an approach to accelerate collaboration in the BioPharma pipeline. By combining technical and social solutions knowledge can be shared and leveraged across the multiple internal and external silos participating in the drug development process. This is accomplished by making data assets findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR). Public consortia and internal efforts embracing FAIR data and Edge Informatics are highlighted, in both preclinical and clinical domains. This talk was presented at the Molecular Medicine Tri-Conference in San Francisco, CA on February 20, 2017

Vulnerabilities of forests and forest dependent people

World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

An increasing multitude of insect pests and pathogens is targeting indigenous trees of natural forests, agroforestry systems, and exotic trees in planted forests in Africa. This is raising major concerns for a continent already challenged by adaptations to climate change, as it threatens a vital resource for food security of rural communities, economic growth, and ecosystem conservation. The accidental introduction through trade of non‐native species in particular is accelerating, and it adds to the damage to tree‐based landscapes by native pests and diseases. Old‐time and new invaders heavily impact planted forests of exotic eucalypts, pines, and acacias, and are spreading quickly across African regions. But many non‐native pathogens are recently found affecting important indigenous trees.

This paper assesses the potential impact of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8 on forests and forest-dependent people. The concepts of decent work and economic growth are put in the context of predominant development theories and paradigms (modernization, economic growth, basic needs, sustainable development) which shape the agendas of governments, private sector, civil society, and investors. These stakeholders pursue different goals and interests, with uneven prioritization of SDG 8 targets and mixed impacts on forests and livelihoods.

With an extension of 2.1 million ha, the Maya Biosphere Reserve (MBR) in Petén, Guatemala is the largest protected area in Central America. To reconcile forest conservation and socio-economic development, community forest concessions were created in its Multiple Use Zone (MUZ) in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Operated by a community forest enterprise (CFE), and with a cycle of 25 years, the concessions grant usufruct rights to local communities on an area of about 400,000 ha. Currently, nine concessions are active, while the contracts of two concessions were cancelled and the management plan of another suspended.

A healthy viable multifunctional landscape has the capability of supporting sustainable agricultural productivity, providing agroforestry and forest products (timber, fuel wood, fruits, medicine, fertilizer, gum etc.) for the sustenance of mankind while providing other environmental services. However these products are increasingly becoming unavailable due to declining soil fertility, climatic extremes, and high costs of inputs. Identifying low-cost, sustainable ways to attain food security and sustainable environment for millions of smallholder farmers in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) remains a major developmental challenge.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/why-teams-call-analytics-is-critical-to-your-entire-business Nothing is as frustrating and noticeable as being in an important call and being unable to see or hear the other person. Not surprising then, that issues with Teams calls are among the most common problems users call their helpdesk for. Having in depth insight into everything relevant going on at the user’s device, local network, ISP and Microsoft itself during the call is crucial for good Microsoft Teams Call quality support. To ensure a quick and adequate solution and to ensure your users get the most out of their Microsoft 365. But did you know that ‘bad calls’ are also an excellent indicator of other problems arising? Precisely because it is so noticeable!? Like the canary in the mine, bad calls can be early indicators of problems. Problems that might otherwise not have been noticed for a while but can have a big impact on productivity and satisfaction. Join this session by Christoph Adler to learn how true Microsoft Teams call quality analytics helped other organizations troubleshoot bad calls and identify and fix problems that impacted Teams calls or the use of Microsoft365 in general. See what it can do to keep your users happy and productive! In this session we will cover - Why CQD data alone is not enough to troubleshoot call problems - The importance of attributing call problems to the right call participant - What call quality analytics can do to help you quickly find, fix-, and prevent problems - Why having retrospective detailed insights matters - Real life examples of how others have used Microsoft Teams call quality monitoring to problem shoot problems with their ISP, network, device health and more.

Why Teams call analytics are critical to your entire business

With more memory available, system performance of three Dell devices increased, which can translate to a better user experience Conclusion When your system has plenty of RAM to meet your needs, you can efficiently access the applications and data you need to finish projects and to-do lists without sacrificing time and focus. Our test results show that with more memory available, three Dell PCs delivered better performance and took less time to complete the Procyon Office Productivity benchmark. These advantages translate to users being able to complete workflows more quickly and multitask more easily. Whether you need the mobility of the Latitude 5440, the creative capabilities of the Precision 3470, or the high performance of the OptiPlex Tower Plus 7010, configuring your system with more RAM can help keep processes running smoothly, enabling you to do more without compromising performance.
