L’arcipelago postmoderno. Oreste del Buono e gli anni Settanta

description: All‟interno della storiografia letteraria del secondo Novecento italiano la figura di Ore-ste del Buono è stata vittima di una singolare rimozione. Certo l‟impegno su diversi fronti – dal romanzo di genere al fumetto, dal costume alla critica letteraria – rende dif-ficile inquadrare un intellettuale dal «multilforme ingegno» (Paccagnini 108), tanto atipico rispetto ai canoni nostrani. Eppure è proprio tale eclettica varietà a costituire la spe-cificità di del Buono, a spingerci a riconoscere il suo principale ruolo sulla scena culturale, ovvero quello di mediatore. Mediatore tra codici e linguaggi, tra scuole di pensiero e movimenti, tra le ragioni del mercato e la costante ricerca della qualità… In quasi ogni aspetto della sua attività possiamo ritrovare tracce di un‟attitudine rara e preziosa insieme, specie durante gli anni Settanta.
Nel decennio precedente si erano diffusi nuovi, suggestivi slogan (morte dell‟autore, romanzo sperimentale…), destinati ad affascinare più di un appartenente alla futura ne-oavanguardia. Del Buono aveva seguito con interesse la querelle tra „antichi e novissimi‟, senza però cedere a facili entusiasmi. Traducendo buona parte dei nouveaux romanciers; indirizzando, in veste di consulente, alcune delle maggiori case editrici verso le mode e i paradigmi emergenti; e, soprattutto, reinventando il proprio stile di romanziere. Quest‟ultimo aspetto in particolare è stato trascurato dalla critica, più propensa a ricondurlo all‟area del neorealismo che a riconoscere la significativa evoluzione della sua prosa nel periodo successivo. Contrapponendo, al canto del cigno dell‟autore e alla parallela scomparsa del personaggio-uomo, la sua personalissima teoria di una «narrativa integrale» (del Buono, “Narrativa” 85). Del Buono si pone infatti in una posizione problemati-ca, defilata e poco propensa ad ogni forma di consorteria.
Il tentativo di cooptazione postuma tra le file dei simpatizzanti da parte del Gruppo 63 avrà breve fortuna (verrà incluso nella prima antologia del gruppo, ma non nelle se-guenti), e Renato Barilli arriverà addirittura a porlo a capo di un improbabile «Polo Bu-tor» (Chiurato 14), uno sparuto gruppo di „infiltrati‟ (insieme a Raffaele La Capria, Emilio Tadini, e Giuliano Gramigna) nelle file della compagine neoavanguardista. Quarant‟anni dopo la questione rimane aperta e l‟eredità di quel turbolento periodo è ancora oggetto di discussione. La nostra intenzione è proporre un approccio diverso, che cer-chi di restituire la fluidità e la ricchezza delle suggestioni di allora poi irrigiditesi in cate-gorie critiche spesso frutto di semplificazioni indebite. Del Buono, irriducibile outsider, ci permette così di riscoprire gli anni Settanta da un‟angolazione inedita e di colmare, nello stesso tempo, alcune improvvide lacune nella nostra memoria culturale

description: We prove the deformation invariance of the quantum homogeneous spaces of the q-deformation of simply connected simple compact Lie groups over the Poisson-Lie quantum subgroups, in the equivariant KK-theory with respect to the translation action by maximal tori. This extends a result of Neshveyev-Tuset to the equivariant setting. As applications, we prove the ring isomorphism of the K-group of Gq with respect to the coproduct of C(Gq), and an analogue of the Borsuk-Ulam theorem for quantum spheres.

‘I, the Implacable I’:  l’opera di Joan Didion negli anni settanta
Creators: name: Scarpino, Cinzia
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2012
Subjects: Joan Didion, anni Settanta, New Journalism, corporeo femminile, scrittura testimoniale

description: This essay attempts to read Joan Didion’s work in the 1970s (Play It As It Lays, A Book of Common Prayer and The White Album) as resulting from an increasingly sharp aesthetic awareness of the modes, limits and possibilities of literature as personal and political testimony. Claiming a sceptical attitude towards any given ideology, Didion places her two novels (Play It As It Lays, A Book of Common Prayer) and non-fiction book (The White Album) within the history of that decade as filtered through an overtly autobiographical and idiosyncratic story. Out of a personal experience and understanding of that decade – of its collective imagination, its shared or unshared events and symbols – as one dominated by a sense of loss Didion creates women characters who survive both the ‘abject’ of their female bodies and the irreversible impoverishment of the last (and lost) frontiers in which their stories are set. Late-modern versions of a long-abiding and well-established American literary tradition, the character-narrators of Play It As It Lays, A Book of Common Prayer and the witness-persona of The White Album respond to Didion’s aesthetic insight into the testimonial mode, its limits and potentialities, and a narratological strategy which, not unlike the postmodern narratives of the same decade, moves toward the dissolution, scattering, and reassembling of narrative functions (author, narrator, character, and reader).

Educational games

description: An undergraduate thesis on game-based learning in parasitology.
description: Parasitology is an important subject matter that is highly complex. This complexity creates challenges with student comprehension and engagement. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of an educational game called Parasite Patrol in two upper-level zoology courses: An Introduction to Invertebrate Zoology (ZOOL 401) and Principles in Parasitism (ZOOL 581). The game was strategically designed using the essential elements outlined by Malone (1980) to create an effective and engaging learning tool. Through the utilization of a pre and post-game survey design, we assessed the impact of playing Parasite Patrol on undergraduate students' knowledge of parasitology, attitudes towards parasites, and attitudes towards educational games. We identified that students in both courses had an improved performance on parasite knowledge questions after playing the game, more positive attitudes towards parasites, and enjoyed using the game as a learning tool.
Novel approaches to biomarker discovery for heart health
Creators: name: Hollander, Zsuzsanna
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Heart failure is a costly global epidemic. Although many heart failure patients are burdened with the condition for life, some recover through drug therapy or transplantation. However, event hose who recover through therapy continue to be treated for life. Indeed, no guidelines exist for diagnosing recovered heart function and the weaning of patients off unnecessary medications. Transplant recipients must be monitored regularly for rejection of the new heart through invasive biopsies and also are treated with immunosuppressives for life. Improved diagnostic and monitoring tools can lessen drug side- effects and allow tailoring of patient management, thereby decreasing the costs of the heart failure epidemic and improving the wellbeing of patients so affected. The goal of this thesis was to identify biomarkers to diagnose and predict acute cardiac rejection and to monitor for recovered heart function. Using blood, plasma and endomyocardial biopsy samples collected from patients enrolled in the Biomarkers in Transplantation initiative, signatures were pursued with genomic and proteomic platforms and computational analysis. To develop acute rejection diagnostic biomarkers, discovery focused on genes differentially expressed between rejection and non-rejection recipients, in both blood and biopsy tissue. These genes were further analyzed in blood and those with greatest ability to separate rejection and non-rejection patients by elastic net classification were selected for inclusion in the biomarker panel. A 12-probe set, clinically relevant biopsy-guided blood-based acute rejection diagnostic biomarker panel was identified. For acute rejection predictive biomarkers,transplant donor tissue genes and pre-transplant recipient plasma proteins and blood genes were investigated alone and in combination. The best biomarker panel included 25 probe sets from the donor tissue and 18 probe sets from the pre-transplant recipient blood. Discovery of recovered heart function biomarkers was based on recovery seen in the transplant setting. Proteins were followed from pre-transplantation through one year post-transplant and those whose blood level returned to normal were included in elastic net classification. A panel of 17 proteins was discovered which had great replication performance in patients who recovered by means of drug therapy. Once further validated, these biomarker panels could serve as new tools for heart failure and transplant patient management.
Is it Just Me? Queer Men's Negotiations of Queer Identities During Interactions With Heterosexual Cisgender Men

subject: Education--Social Sciences

description: Queer men’s conceptualizations of their queer identities are multidimensional and cannot be captured by a singular definition. Similarly, queer men’s expressions of masculinities are equally as complex, as they depend on how they compete and interact with other masculinities. In this qualitative study, I examined how queer men negotiate their identities during interactions with heterosexual, cisgender men while considering the impacts that the sociocultural context of so-called Alberta has on these negotiations. I conducted semi-structured interviews with six queer men living in so-called Alberta to understand the behavioural implications of their interactions with het/cis men. Using thematic analysis, the findings suggested that queer men negotiate their behaviours in multiple ways by expressing queer masculinities to receive cultural and social benefits and safety from het/cis men. This is in response to het/cis men disproportionately creating uncomfortable interactional environments through their behaviours and the lack of representation within the so-called Alberta institutional and sociocultural context. However, queer men also employ queer masculinities by refuting negotiations of behaviour in response to het/cis men’s actions. This study emphasizes the impacts that behaviours, interactions, and culture have on queer men’s masculinities and identities that constantly shift, transform, and compete with other masculinities and identities.

Form as Social Commitment: The art of Giovanni Anselmo during the Anni di Piombo
Creators: name: Mangini, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2012
Subjects: Anselmo, Arte povera, sculpture, anni di piombo

description: In April 1968, concurrent with the early stages of the student movement in Europe, the young Arte Povera artist Giovanni Anselmo installed his first solo exhibition at a Turin gallery. The sculptures shown there were not static objects, but rather demonstrations of invisible concepts like relativity. What emerged in Anselmo‘s first solo show and developed over the ensuing decade was a tactical resistance to the crystallization of his works into a single image or static object. This paper argues that this approach was also central to a critical understanding of the roles of the artist and the viewer during a time of great political foment in Italy and throughout Europe. I explore the relationship of Anselmo‘s sculptural interests to the currency of phenomenology in Northern Italy, the theorization of Arte Povera, in which he figures as a central protagonist, as well as to the socio-political challenges of the 1970s in Italy. Between 1967 and 1978, Anselmo endeavored to reveal tense fullness in empty spaces and to discover latent energy in seemingly inert materials by activating the viewer‘s ability to recognize them as small indications of a dynamic macrocosm. In the context of 1968 and the ensuing Anni di piombo, such macrocosmic glimpses might occasion a broadened worldview, in which the closed perceptual dialectic of self versus world could expand to include other, previously invisible, possibilities. From this expanded point of view prompted by Anselmo‘s presentation of energies, one can begin to understand, and even undermine, man-made ‗invisible‘ systems like government and class. By doing this through the form of the work rather than its explicit content, Anselmo models the notion of an artist using form as social commitment. This mode of working has resonance for many artists today, who may struggle with reconciling their material practices with political allegiances in an increasingly co-opted art market.

description: Phytolith analysis is the study of microscopic silica fossils which often take on the shape. of the plant cells in which they form. This thesis proposes that in order to understand the phytoliths’ original plant context, researchers conduct cycles of phytolith analysis consisting of six stages – collection, processing, microscopy, analysis, interpretation, and inscription. However, there is not one consistent object of inquiry that is present during all six stages. Instead, researchers enact each stage around a different simulacrum which serves as a partial representation, or proxy, of the original plant context. Combining data from ethnographic methods with theory such as semiotics, enactment, and Actor Network Theory, this thesis proposes a model of decontextualization and recontextualization to explain how phytolith researchers translate meaning from one simulacrum to the next. In this model, analysts remove all non-essential context from one simulacrum, reinterpret the reduced form, and in doing so create a newly enacted simulacrum. Decontextualization and recontextualization occurs between each stage of analysis as well as over the course of a full cycle of research.

subject: Education--Mathematics

description: Contrary to the common assumption, the correlation between financial derivatives may not be constant across time. This thesis analyses the role of stochastic correlation in modeling for locational spread options for natural gas. We first derive a model with Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process between two spread assets with constant correlation and then a combination of the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck and Jacobi process is used to model a stochastic correlation. The Margrabe formula is employed to evaluate options prices with constant correlation, the solution for which is used to compare with Monte Carlo simulations for stochasticity. Comparing the results, we find out why stochastic correlation is more important in real markets.

description: We show that more than two generations of quarks and leptons are required to have an anomaly free discrete R-symmetry larger than R-parity, provided that the supersymmetric Standard Model can be minimally embedded into a grand unified theory. This connects an explanation for the number of generations with seemingly unrelated problems like supersymmetry breaking, proton decay, the mu problem, and the cosmological constant through a discrete R-symmetry. We also show that three generations is uniquely required by a non-anomalous discrete R-symmetry in classes of grand unified theories such as the ones based on (semi-)simple gauge groups.

Evaluating User Preferences for Interaction for Single User Cross Reality Transition of 3D Virtual Objects

description: This thesis investigates how single users want to transfer 3D virtual objects between different spaces along Milgram’s Reality-Virtuality Continuum(RVC) during a Cross Reality (CR) session. Cross-reality is a newly emerged research field that studies the transition and current usage of multiple systems along RVC. Studies have been conducted to investigate the interactions that are efficient and preferred by the user on spaces along RVC. However, single-user CR virtual object transition is an unexplored interaction space. Thus there is no established interaction the user prefers so researchers and developers can refer to it when implementing CR applications. An elicitation study was conducted with 20 participants to gather their preferred interaction for a set of referents. The contribution is an analysis of 1200 inputs that lead to a design recommendation based on observations and interviews. These recommendations will serve as guidelines for researchers and developers when developing CR applications that involve the transition of 3D virtual objects.

description: A fundamental problem in computer science is to find all the common zeroes of $m$ quadratic polynomials in $n$ unknowns over $\mathbb{F}_2$. The cryptanalysis of several modern ciphers reduces to this problem. Up to now, the best complexity bound was reached by an exhaustive search in $4\log_2 n\,2^n$ operations. We give an algorithm that reduces the problem to a combination of exhaustive search and sparse linear algebra. This algorithm has several variants depending on the method used for the linear algebra step. Under precise algebraic assumptions on the input system, we show that the deterministic variant of our algorithm has complexity bounded by $O(2^{0.841n})$ when $m=n$, while a probabilistic variant of the Las Vegas type has expected complexity $O(2^{0.792n})$. Experiments on random systems show that the algebraic assumptions are satisfied with probability very close to~1. We also give a rough estimate for the actual threshold between our method and exhaustive search, which is as low as~200, and thus very relevant for cryptographic applications.

description: We study epidemic spreading processes in large networks, when the spread is assisted by a small number of external agents: infection sources with bounded spreading power, but whose movement is unrestricted vis-à-vis the underlying network topology. For networks which are `spatially constrained', we show that the spread of infection can be significantly speeded up even by a few such external agents infecting randomly. Moreover, for general networks, we derive upper-bounds on the order of the spreading time achieved by certain simple (random/greedy) external-spreading policies. Conversely, for certain common classes of networks such as line graphs, grids and random geometric graphs, we also derive lower bounds on the order of the spreading time over all (potentially network-state aware and adversarial) external-spreading policies; these adversarial lower bounds match (up to logarithmic factors) the spreading time achieved by an external agent with a random spreading policy. This demonstrates that random, state-oblivious infection-spreading by an external agent is in fact order-wise optimal for spreading in such spatially constrained networks.

description: Pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common form of pediatric cancer. Treatment for ALL has advanced recently, contributing to the impressive increase in cancer survival. Early treatments used cranial radiation therapy (CRT) which has been linked to debilitating late effects. Modern treatments (e.g., chemotherapies) have moved away from CRT, maximizing central nervous system (CNS) drug exposure while attempting to minimize drug toxicity. However, we do not understand modern therapies effects on several psychosocial late effects, including social adjustment. First, a systematic review was conducted to examine current literature on social adjustment in survivors of pediatric ALL. Four databases were searched and 43 articles were included in the final review. Findings from the articles indicated survivors of pediatric ALL experienced social adjustment difficulties when compared to control groups. However, treatment and non-treatment related factors require further elucidation. Secondly, a qualitative exploration of survivors and their caregivers’ memories was conducted. Nineteen dyads insights were captured through semi-structured, one-on-one interviews. Reflexive thematic analysis following principles of qualitative description generated two themes contingent on role (survivor or caregiver): difficulties remembering the cancer experience and managing their child’s cancer experience, and two unified themes: the role of others in getting through the cancer experience, and the lasting impact of the cancer diagnosis and experience. Findings indicate the need for whole family interventions. Additionally, caregivers, with the help of healthcare providers, should strive for open and developmentally appropriate communication with their children around cancer care and survivorship. Evidence from this thesis will help guide future research, highlighting the need for theoretically grounded research, and patient-identified priorities to advance the field of psychosocial research among this population.
Implementing a neighbourhood scale stormwater retrofit : effect of self-draining rain barrels on an urban stream
Creators: name: Mohammad Pour, Sara
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Over the past 50 years, as North America has become more urbanized, extensive research has been done to understand the impact of urbanization on the hydrological cycle. Specifically, land development is known to significantly alter the hydrological cycle and consequently the aquatic habitat by increasing the magnitude and frequency of flooding events, by increasing storm flow flashiness and by altering base flow regimes in streams. The current approach to mitigating the negative impacts of land development on receiving streams involves decentralized treatment of frequently occurring rainfall events at the source in other words on-site stormwater management. Stormwater practitioners and researchers have identified the need for pilot scale research projects to improve the current understanding of on-site stormwater management techniques. The objectives of the current study were to determine the level of effort and methods required to gain volunteer participation for on-site stormwater management retrofit projects as well as to determine if retrofitting single family lots on a neighbourhood scale can have a an effect on the hydrological response of the receiving stream. The objectives were achieved through collaborating with the City of Burnaby, to plan and implement a pilot project in two residential neighbourhoods in the Beecher Creek Watershed. It was hypothesized that with the cooperation of the municipality, sufficient landowner participation (at least 30% of the study area residents) could be gained through door-to-door meetings with residents and through offering incentives for participation in the study. It was also hypothesized that retrofitting the houses in the study area with self-draining rain barrels that detain roof runoff could have a regulating effect on the stream response. Two sub-catchments in the Beecher Creek watershed were chosen as the sites of the study and flow-monitoring stations were set up at sub-catchments’ outfalls. A communication strategy was developed and executed over a seven-month period that resulted in participation of 26 (out of 77 possible) residents. Overall, 40 rain barrels were installed to capture the runoff from about 3.5% to 7% of the catchment area. Analysis of the initial collected data indicated that the rain barrels had a regulating effect on the stream response.

description: The issue of chiral extrapolations in heavy quarkonium systems is discussed. We show that the light quark mass dependence of the properties of heavy quarkonia is not always suppressed. For quarkonia close to an open flavor threshold, even a nonanalytic chiral extrapolation is needed. Both these nontrivial facts are demonstrated to appear in the decay widths of the hindered M1 transitions between the first radially excited and ground state P-wave charmonia. The results at a pion mass of about 500 MeV could deviate from the value at the physical pion mass by a factor of two. Our findings show the necessity of performing chiral extrapolations for lattice simulations of heavy quarkonium systems.

Content sharing and distribution in wireless community networks
Creators: name: Alasaad, Amr
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: We consider the problem of content sharing and distribution in a wireless mesh community network (WMCN). Due to the community oriented nature of such networks, and with the evolution of advanced mobile computing devices; it is projected that the demand for content sharing and distribution in wireless community networks will dramatically increase in the coming years. A popular scheme for content sharing and distribution is through the use of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology. This dissertation studies the technical challenges involved while deploying P2P applications over WMCNs. We advance the thesis that support from a number of infrastructure nodes in a wireless community network to P2P applications running on top of the wireless community network such as P2P content sharing and P2P media streaming, results in significant performance enhancement. Such support from infrastructure nodes benefits from awareness of the underlying network topology (i.e., information available at relay nodes about the true physical connections between nodes in the network). Cross-layer information exchange between the P2P system and the WMCN opens the door to developing efficient algorithms and schemes for P2P communications that account for the specific features of WMCNs (e.g., contention for wireless medium between neighboring nodes and traffic interference). Moreover, such support benefits from the underutilized resources (e.g., storage and bandwidth resources) at a large number of infrastructure nodes in the WMCN. This creates the possibility of replicating into the caches of those under-utilized infrastructure nodes P2P contents that are desired by the community, and enabling those infrastructure nodes to participate in content distribution and play the role of helpers in P2P content sharing and distribution. Our main contribution in this dissertation is P2P-with-helpers: Hybrid approaches for content sharing and distribution in a wireless community network that rely on support from infrastructure nodes to the P2P applications. We show that P2P-with-helpers approaches signi cantly enhance the performance of P2P content sharing and distribution in WMCNs. The performance enhancements reflect aspects such as average content download times, bandwidth and energy consumption in the network, Internet bandwidth cost, and traffic load imbalance in the network.

description: Purpose This paper aims to highlight the recent developments in artificially intelligent chatbots and how the resulting tools can be incorporated into the daily workflow of library work. Design/methodology/approach Recent literature is examined, parallels to librarian reactions to the birth of the original internet search engines are drawn and suggestions for the use of specific tools for specific tasks are given. Findings Although effectively less than 6 months old, the field of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots is already fulsome enough to be able to be usefully incorporated into the profession. More tools are imminent, though each of them does and will continue to have shortcomings of which informational professionals need to be aware. Practical implications This paper provides practical suggestions and specific tools to incorporate into the workflow of different library specialties, along with important caveats for quality and bias. Social implications The public has adopted the use of AI chatbots faster than any previously introduced technology. Librarians have a history of moving more slowly when it comes to the core values of the profession, such as information searching. It is vital for information professionals, such as librarians, to understand both the value and the pitfalls of these tools to be able to work with patrons and stay relevant in the eyes of the public and institutional funders.

3D N=6 Gauged Supergravity: Admissible Gauge Groups, Vacua and RG Flows

description: We study N=6 gauged supergravity in three dimensions with scalar manifolds $\frac{SU(4,k)}{S(U(4)\times U(k))}$ for $k=1,2,3,4$ in great details. We classify some admissible non-compact gauge groups which can be consistently gauged and preserve all supersymmetries. We give the explicit form of the embedding tensors for these gauge groups as well as study their scalar potentials on the full scalar manifold for each value of $k=1,2,3,4$ along with the corresponding vacua. Furthermore, the potentials for the compact gauge groups, $SO(p)\times SO(6-p)\times SU(k)\times U(1)$ for $p=3,4,5,6$, identified previously in the literature are partially studied on a submanifold of the full scalar manifold. This submanifold is invariant under a certain subgroup of the corresponding gauge group. We find a number of supersymmetric AdS vacua in the case of compact gauge groups. We then consider holographic RG flow solutions in the compact gauge groups $SO(6)\times SU(4)\times U(1)$ and $SO(4)\times SO(2)\times SU(4)\times U(1)$ for the k=4 case. The solutions involving one active scalar can be found analytically and describe operator flows driven by a relevant operator of dimension 3/2. For non-compact gauge groups, we find all types of vacua namely AdS, Minkowski and dS, but there is no possibility of RG flows in the AdS/CFT sense for all gauge groups considered here.

description: Protein synthesis is one of the most fundamental biological processes, which consumes a significant amount of cellular resources. Despite existence of multiple mathematical models of translation, varying in the level of mechanistical details, surprisingly, there is no basic and simple chemical kinetic model of this process, derived directly from the detailed kinetic model. One of the reasons for this is that the translation process is characterized by indefinite number of states, thanks to existence of polysomes. We bypass this difficulty by applying a trick consisting in lumping multiple states of translated mRNA into few dynamical variables and by introducing a variable describing the pool of translating ribosomes. The simplest model can be solved analytically under some assumptions. The basic and simple model can be extended, if necessary, to take into account various phenomena such as the interaction between translating ribosomes, limited amount of ribosomal units or regulation of translation by microRNA. The model can be used as a building block (translation module) for more complex models of cellular processes. We demonstrate the utility of the model in two examples. First, we determine the critical parameters of the single protein synthesis for the case when the ribosomal units are abundant. Second, we demonstrate intrinsic bi-stability in the dynamics of the ribosomal protein turnover and predict that a minimal number of ribosomes should pre-exists in a living cell to sustain its protein synthesis machinery, even in the absence of proliferation.

IMPETUS D5.1 Impact assessment methodology and collaterals
Creators: name: Passani, Antonella

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: impact assessment
citizen science
SDGs
RRI

description: This document presents the overall approach of the IMPETUS project to impact assessment with a special focus on how to assess the impacts of citizen science initiatives (CSIs)
It updates, refines, and improves the methodology developed during the ACTION project (Passani et al., 2021), that was co-designed and successfully tested with 16 Citizen Science Initiatives (CSIs).
The IMPETUS impact assessment methodology for assessing the CSIs participating in the project Accelerator considers five areas of impact: scientific, social, economic, political, and environmental. These five areas of impact are articulated in several dimensions each, for a total of 25 dimensions. These include, but are not limited to, impact on scientific knowledge, community empowerment, social inclusion, impact on knowledge, skills and competences, impact on health and wellbeing, impact on policy process, job creation, economic empowerment of local communities and impact on environmental awareness. Each dimension is operationalised in variables and accompanied by data gathering tools such as questionnaires.
Besides these five areas of impact, the methodology considers also how CSIs contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Such a contribution can take different forms that goes from data provision for SDGs monitoring, to actual support for the achievement of the SDGs targets through policy innovation. Other possible impacts on SDGs are related to the capability of CSIs to support citizens' behavioural change or to develop new metrics and methods for SDGs monitoring.
Finally, the methodology considers the capability of CSIs to align with Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) practices addressing the link between research, ethics, inclusiveness, and openness.

description: The purpose of this study was to explore how novice nurse educators working at a transnational nursing campus in Qatar grow and develop in the nurse educator role. This study used a qualitative case study research approach. The theoretical frameworks that guide this study include situation cognition and the work of Lee Shulman and Geert Hofstede. Seven participants volunteered for this study. Data collection methods included guided reflective questions, sharing of teaching artifacts, one-to-one interviews, observational notes, and a researcher's journal. Data analysis identified six themes, some of which are further divided into sub-themes. The six themes are: (1) emotions and feelings, with sub-themes of positive or negative emotions; (2) preparation; (3) professional learning; (4) professional learning support, with sub-themes of facilitators and barriers; (5) cultural context; and (6) teaching and learning. Several key findings address the research questions. First, novice nurse educators have diverse career experiences and learning needs and thus draw upon diverse professional and personal resources to succeed in their new educator roles. Providing protected time for professional learning is an investment that promotes novice nurse educators’ accelerated growth and development. Second, novice nurse educators bring a general understanding of teaching roles; however, they benefit from early onboarding, induction, and mentoring, along with critical reflection on practice over time. Third, novice nurse educators take the initiative to access institutional resources, professional development sessions, peer mentors, and external courses in developing their teaching practice. Finally, novice nurse educators benefit from linguistic, cultural, and professional guidance when making transitions to transnational teaching and learning contexts. Several recommendations are provided for future research, teaching and learning workplaces and contexts, and policy.
