Systems Biology in ELIXIR: modelling in the spotlight.

In this white paper, we describe the founding of a new ELIXIR Community - the Systems Biology Community - and its proposed future contributions to both ELIXIR and the broader community of systems biologists in Europe and worldwide. The Community believes that the infrastructure aspects of systems biology - databases, (modelling) tools and standards development, as well as training and access to cloud infrastructure - are not only appropriate components of the ELIXIR infrastructure, but will prove key components of ELIXIR's future support of advanced biological applications and personalised medicine. By way of a series of meetings, the Community identified seven key areas for its future activities, reflecting both future needs and previous and current activities within ELIXIR Platforms and Communities. These are: overcoming barriers to the wider uptake of systems biology; linking new and existing data to systems biology models; interoperability of systems biology resources; further development and embedding of systems medicine; provisioning of modelling as a service; building and coordinating capacity building and training resources; and supporting industrial embedding of systems biology. A set of objectives for the Community has been identified under four main headline areas: Standardisation and Interoperability, Technology, Capacity Building and Training, and Industrial Embedding. These are grouped into short-term (3-year), mid-term (6-year) and long-term (10-year) objectives.

Energy security in Albania – towards energy self-sufficiency 2030

The war between Russia and Ukraine has started to have its biggest effects on the most used products by people around the world. The rise in energy prices has been the main headline of this war. In addition to the conventional regional and global security threats due to Russian aggression against Ukraine, the world is facing the unconventional threat of energy security. The energy produced in Russia is used as the main supplier for the economies of many bordering or non-bordering states, turning this product into a lever used by Russia to fuel its war and into a source of conflict among European allies and beyond. In this context, Albania cannot be immune to the skyrocketing energy prices. On the other hand, seeing Albania’s favorable situation in diversifying the necessary energy for the daily activities of families and businesses in our country, the government has undertaken the initiative to turn Albania into a net energy exporter until 2030. This means that Albania will no longer be so energy-dependent on fluctuations in prices on global stock exchanges, or dependent on the use of temporary regional initiatives such as “Open Balkans” to secure supply from other countries in the region but will become a country that achieves energy self-sufficiency in the coming decade. This work aims to highlight the threat to national security from the energy crisis and to use quantitative and qualitative data to understand whether this initiative is achievable in the years to come. Keywords: energy security, sustainable development, green renewable energy, Western Balkans.

THE ROLE OF TURKİSH MEDIA IN FORMING PUBLIC OPINION ABOUT THE SECOND KARABAKH WAR IN TURKEY (TÜRKİYE)

It is mentioned in the article that the coverage of the conflict, which has entered a new stage with the beginning of the Second Karabakh War, in the Turkish media and the great influence of the media in shaping public opinion. The Nagorno-Karabakh problem is also examined down from the historical aspect in the article, various studies and theories related to the effects of the media in shaping public opinion are analyzed, at the same time, the fact that the factor of realization of modern wars in the field of information exchange is kept in focus. In addition, the forms of the topic kept on the agenda in different media platforms of Turkey until the beginning and end of the Second Karabakh War are evaluated with different criteria, the importance of the media in the direction of receiving the support of the Turkish people is emphasized. Although the application of war journalism is difficult, it is one of the important branches of journalism in terms of delivering the right information. The wars that have occurred are often between two countries that accuse each other the parties are trying to use the power of the media to justify themselves and get support from the international community. At that time, the duty of the journalist in the region is to report the events in an impartial, accurate and correct manner by following the principles of journalism, and to play an active role in the formation of public opinion. It is no coincidence that it happened during the Second World War that the media was discovered to have the potential to lead the masses and use it as a a means of propaganda. When newspapers with different ideologies and information policies were analyzed in the Turkish public, it was observed that the media organizations, which can be characterized as opposition, government, or independent, continuously followed the processes from the beginning to the end of the war and shared the events in the region with the Turkish public. Media subjects published news about the war mainly on the front page and in the main headline, and this factor formed the conclusion that the event was perceived by the public as an important nuance from the point of view of the theory of agenda setting.

Learning development 2030

Whilst the widening participation agenda and the impact of COVID-19 has arguably increased the importance of learning development (LD) within the UK Higher Education Sector, it is widely acknowledged that the role, and indeed title, of the learning developer varies greatly between institutions. Some staff are employed on academic contracts with research requirements, others not. Similarly, some staff are faculty based whilst others are employed within a central team. This means that as Bickle et al. (2021) explain: LD operates in a ‘third space’. The disparity within the profession has meant that the role of the learning developer is multi-faceted, reflected in Hilsdon’s (2011, p.14) definition of LD: “Learning development is a complex set of multi-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary academic roles and functions, involving teaching, tutoring, research, and the design and production of learning materials […]”. This workshop provided participants with an opportunity to untangle the complex LD web and map out ideas for the future of the LD profession. Acting as newspaper editors, participants got out their crystal balls and produced a front page of a newspaper in 2030 where the main headline has been dedicated to the field of LD. Perhaps a LD staff member has won a prestigious award, maybe LD has received some form of international recognition. After presenting their front pages, participants engaged in a discussion around how as a profession we can achieve some of these aspirations. Participants took ideas with them that they could apply to their own practice.

Kegiatan preservasi di Pustakalana Children’s Library

With the background of the importance of preservation activities, a library needs to be the main headline in library activities. Moreover, as the scope of the library's duties, preservation is a mandatory activity that is owned to extend the life of a collection. The author conducted research on the children's library, Pustakalana Children's Library to find out the preservation activities carried out at Pustakalana. This study uses a qualitative descriptive research method with a case study approach in which non-quantitative data will be interpreted descriptively. The selection of sources as primary data acquisition, using purposive sampling method. The resource person chosen by the author is the head of the Pustakalana librarian, which is none other than the proximity of the librarian in preservation activities. Furthermore, observations were made for the acquisition of secondary data and a literature review to obtain tertiary data to support primary and secondary data. Data analysis used three stages, namely, data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions and verification. The results show that preservation activities in Pustakalana include active conservation activities that are directly related to library collections such as wrapping books, passive conservation which is carried out by conditioning the environment around the collection starting from the optimal room temperature in Pustakalana at 20˚C - 23˚C. , humidity levels, air circulation to sunlight, and preventive conservation related to the formulation of policies and operational standards regarding preservation and conservation activities themselves. Furthermore, it is important to recognize the factors that cause damage to a collection in Pustakalana divided into two, namely, internal factors include collection characteristics, and external factors include environment, humans, natural disasters and biota. It was concluded that Pustakalana was very aware of the importance of preservation activities in the library. Pustakalana has done both passively, actively and preventively to extend the life of its library collections.

Cataphoric univerbation in press texts and legislative acts

The article presents a fragment of research on univerbation in its relation to text integrity. The study is fulfilled on the material of the modern German language. Univerbation is considered as formation of root compounds and synthetic compounds. The study material includes 120 word-formation contexts selected from modern German press, fiction and legislative acts of the FRG taken from criminal, civil and public codes. The article focuses on the problem of cataphoric univerbation widely spread in press texts and law acts. The highest frequency of compounds with cataphorically oriented intratext links is detected in newspaper and journal headlines and titles of law articles. From pragmatic point of view polylexemic univerbs function in the titles of law articles as terminological condensates and as segmentation markers of the whole law text. In press headlines one of the main reasons of univerb creation and its use is compacting. The pragmatic focus on compacting is successfully manifested also in the titles of law articles. However, in contrast to press it has not a coherent, but a strongly marked cohesive nature. Showy, memorable, unusual headline univerbs can also stimulate the interest to read the main text. The existence of subheading or overheading alongside with the main headline is typical of some newspaper and journal articles. Due to this fact the content- and information-related support among univerbs is provided. In speech reality a high degree of language economy in the univerb structure results in lexical redundancy which is to guarantee the correct decoding of the condensate’s semantics.

A Content Review of News about Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) at Media Prior to Emergence in Pakistan by the Year 2020

The study has been carried as a review of news about coronavirus disease (COVID-19) published in main stream newspaper (Daily Jang) prior to emergence in Pakistan. The front page of newspaper Daily Jang-Pakistan was selected for evaluation of study. The duration of study was from 31st December 2019 to 27th February 2020.The data has been qualitatively analyzed about text analysis, interpretative analysis, discourse analysis, rhetorical analysis, narrative analysis, and semiotic analysis whereas quantitatively analyzed for increasing number of patients, death and global bifurcation of affected cases. The first case of COVID-19 apparently reported on 31st December 2019 in China and got place at front page of newspaper on 24th January 2020 with 571 affected persons and 17 deaths.By 28th January 2020 USA, Canada, Australia, France, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia and Nepal were affected from new viral disease and till 5th of February 2020 more than two dozen countries confirmed about existence of new disease. China has taken immediate health interventions. Subsequently strategies were made in the world including Pakistan. WHO made global strategies to control new viral disease. Although most countries shifted their citizen from China however Pakistan did not removed their citizen from affected country. In the light of Hadith, Muslim Scholars advised that citizens of Pakistan should not be shifted outside China till control of disease. The scientist started to investigate new disease. The herbal medicine also used in public. Campaign on media started about awareness of new disease. The business activity found to be reduced due to disease. Necessary preventive arrangements were made by the aviation department. Pakistan also banned on import of animal and birds. The burial ceremonies of deceased due to COVID-19 were also limited for participation. Many operations like Haj, Umrah and Olympic 2020 expected to be affected due to new viral disease. However a common marriage found to be reported in South Korea. Dr.Ventiang died on 8th February 2020 who initially suspected and diagnosed for existence and origin of new disease. On 26th February 2020 a news on front page indicating to inner page that “many countries affected by corona virus disease and afterward on 27th February 2020 there was a main headline news on the front page that “Corona reached Pakistan.”

Speakers (European/Global Public Sphere)

In research on the transnationalization of the public sphere, speakers are coded in claim analysis (Adam, 2007; Koopmans & Statham, 2010) and in research on European identity (Lichtenstein & Eilders, 2015, 2019). Speakers are politicians, societal actors or journalists who are given voice in a news story. In claim analyses, a speaker directs, for instance, a thematic demand or decision towards another actor. In research on European identity, speakers address an EU frame in a news story. The variable “speaker” provides a broad categorization of the first or most important speaker in an article. He or she is more precisely classified using further variables which target the actors’ degree of organization, his or her country of origin and his or her more detailed function within the EU or other international institutions.
 
 Field of application/theoretical foundation:
 In research on the transnationalization of the public sphere, speakers are coded to measure interactions between countries (horizontal transnationalization) and to analyze the extent to which EU actors get a voice in the coverage of national media outlets (vertical transnationalization). They are also coded to analyze to which extent civil society actors are heard compared to politicians. The share of EU and international speakers differs between countries, media outlets, and policy fields. In research on European identity the variable additionally enables to differentiate between the kinds of speakers who are given a voice in the collective construction of European identity.
 
 References/combination with other methods of data collection:
 Content analyses that examine the claims of speakers in transnational public spheres has been combined with interview studies with journalists, politicians, and interest groups (Koopmans & Statham, 2010).

 Information about variable
 Variable name/definition: speakers
 “If a claim has more than one actor (e.g., a coalition), the following priority rules apply: 1) actors mentioned in the article as 'leaders', 'organizers', 'spokespersons', etc. have priority, unless, of course, they do not make any claims; 2) organizations, institutions or representatives thereof (e.g., 'National Organization of Peasants') have priority over unorganized collectivities or individuals (e.g., 'peasants', 'farmer X'); 3) active actors or speakers have priority over passive audiences/rank-and-file participants (e.g., if a party representative addresses a crowd at a peace rally, the party representative has priority). If there are several actors or no actor at all who have priority according to these three criteria, the order in which they are mentioned in the article decides (with, again, the main headline as the start of the article). If of one physical actor two functions are mentioned, the highest level capacity in terms of the scope variable (see below) is coded. E.g., if the article says “Portuguese prime minister and current Chair of the EU Presidency Guttierez” would be code as “EU presidency” even if Portuguese prime minister would be mentioned first. However, the precondition would be that the EU presidency function is really mentioned in the article - that you know that the Portuguese prime minister is present Chair of the Council is not decisive, it should be explicitly mentioned. (…) Only if two capacities are at the same scope level the rule is that the first mentioned is coded.” (Koopmans, 2002, p. 24; https://europub.wzb.eu/Data/Codebooks%20questionnaires/D2-1-claims-codebook.pdf)

SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEWS (SLR) ANALYSIS ON NATIONAL TOURISM POLICY

The National Tourism Policy of Malaysia is known as the National Ecotourism Plan 2016-2025. It focuses on progressive and competitive tourism in the country by giving full thrust to appreciating a prosperous environment for stakeholders in the tourism sector. Hence the study of the systematic literature review focuses on several elements as the determinants of tourism policy namely Malaysia Tourism. Consequently, each of the previous study elements will explore the scope and dimensions functionality of each scientific article is consistently discussing to analyse the year in which the authors regularly publish their publications. This is to prove that a significant element of publication by the author. Meanwhile, the scope of the study by the author also risked the priority areas in each article by the authors of each element. It is important to prove that the scope supports the main headline of the paper which deals with the formulation of the National Tourism Policy. In fact, dimensions give priority to what they want to achieve in each article from the authors related to Tourism Policy. This paper reviews the Qualitative Method concept by referring to Content Analysis. As a result, it will illustrate that dimensions will be in sync with Tourism to achieve the national tourism policy aspirations.

Urban Morphology, Environmental Performances, and Energy Use:Neighborhood transformation in Rio de Janeiro via IMM

Nowadays the environmental ramifications of urban development have become crystal clear. Subsequently, the main headline is how one should implement practical methods to tackle urban growth and environmental issues simultaneously. How should one integrate urbanization and the issue of saving natural resources? How design strategies could contribute to climate mitigation and emission reduction? Is urban morphology correlated with these issues? And eventually, how can the urban transformation be performed, retrofitted and monitored in order to achieve a more sustainable result? A strictly sectorial approach could result in neglecting mutual dependencies of these demands. Conversely, an integrated approach can help to sharpen a better comprehension of the different performances of different urban assessment. IMM®, Integrated Modification Methodology, is a multi-stage, iterative process, applied to urban complex systems, for improving the metabolism of the city as well as its energy performance. The method has been depicted through prior publications by the authors; hence, the current paper solely focuses on one stage of the multi-stage IMM method. Due to the fact that the majority of predicted urban growth will occur in megacities of developing countries, totalling 5% of the earth population, the article presents a case study Janeiro using the IMM method to propose urban improvements on the megacity of Rio de Janeiro.

“Dublin Traitors” or “Gallants of Dublin” The Argentine Newspapers and the Easter Rising

Sir Roger Casement Captured off Irish Coast. This was main headline of front page of Buenos Aires Herald on 25 April. The first article on that page gave detailed information about arrest of the arch-traitor and, at end, a subtitle Capture of Dublin!: Amazing New York Story, under which it was succinctly reported that it was announced that Irish volunteers have captured Dublin and are holding it. The same happened in other Argentine daily newspapers, like La Nacion, La Prensa and The Standard: first news of that key week in Ireland was about former British diplomat and his failed landing of weapons, with a brief reference unconfirmed news about problems in Dublin. The Standard even gave this latter cable title A Stupid Rumour, and added at end: Ed. Note: Our readers will understand this refer insignificant Sinn Feinn [sic] movement described in other cables (p. 13). But during following days news about Casement received less attention: Easter Rising occupied an important place on Argentine newspapers until end of executions of its leaders on 12 May. (1) The next pages will analyse treatment of this news by some Buenos Aires papers: La Prensa, La Nacion, and Critica, which were printed in Spanish; and The Standard, Buenos Aires Herald, and The Southern Cross, published in English. (2) The Argentine newspapers examined By 1916 La Prensa (1869) and La Nacion (1870) had been published for more than forty years and had grown to be among great daily papers of (Murray 1919: 307). They belonged Paz and Mitre (3) families, respectively: in 1916 Jorge Mitre was director of La Nacion, and Ezequiel Paz of La Prensa. More recently, Natalio Botana had founded Critica (1913-1962), an innovative newspaper of sensationalist tones (Beltran 1943: 257-63 and 279; Fernandez 1943: 113-22; De Marco 2006: 310-5 and 319-22). was an important topic in these newspapers. For example, in case of La Prensa, only is all local news fully chronicled, but its correspondents all over world send articles of great literary merit. The letters from London correspondents, Mr. H. Nield and Sr. Ramirez [sic] de Maeztu, show perfect knowledge of all British movements, lengthy articles from pen of latter showing a deep acquaintance with all phases of thought in Great Britain (Pennington 1910: 284). (4) This is not surprising since Argentina in early 20th century has a clear relationship western world. Its ruling classes admired and tried imitate from France its culture, from England economic development, and from Germany its militarism ... In 1914 Third National Population Census was conducted; it reported a total of 7,885,237 inhabitants, of which 2,357,952 (30%) were foreigners, most of them Spaniards and Italians (Ramirez Bacca 2015: 192). The pro-British attitude was related as well fact that [t]here was probably a generally pro-Allied sentiment among Argentine populace (Dehne 2014: 155), which was reflected in its newspapers. Also, it should particularly be remembered that United Kingdom had great influence in Argentina, not only on its economy, but also on its culture and way of life: In 1900 British-owned companies accounted for almost 90 per cent of aggregate railway investment in Argentina and some 15 per cent of Argentina's total capital stock ... By 1913 Argentina alone absorbed almost half of Britain's exports Latin America ... In Argentina ... British and Anglo-Argentinian community, already 5,000-strong in 1830s, had by 1914 expanded 40,000--the largest British community outside Empire. Several thousand lived on pampa and in Patagonia, but majority were concentrated in Buenos Aires ... They were served by two daily newspapers, Standard and Buenos Aires Herald. …

The Crime Story: Reporting Crime and its Political Uses in French TV News (1949–2012)

Since the emergence of television, crime news has increasingly acquired a prominent place in contemporary public debate. These stories have gone from being minor news items to the main headline. This article retraces that historic shift as a complex articulation between first the expansion of crime stories in the news, and the transformation of political power (speeches, communication strategies, penal measures) that seeks to fulfill its regal mission of protecting citizens.

Home drinking – Is this the target of the new alcohol strategy?

In the foreword to the third alcohol strategy for England and Wales, Prime Minister David Cameron is clear that this is a response to the problems caused by binge drinking. This is within the context of alcohol consumption in England and Wales having fallen steadily for a number of years and a shift to more drinking at home, which until recently has largely been seen as non-problematic. Despite being portrayed as a response to binge drinking, the main headline that accompanied the strategy was the proposal to introduce minimum unit pricing. The main effect of this will be to narrow the price of alcohol purchased in supermarkets compared to licensed premises. This article suggests that policy makers may now be more receptive to the arguments that suggest they should now be considering alcohol-related general population harms. Despite the fact that the strategy has been presented as a response to binge drinking, there is also a focus on the cost of general population harms.

Producer price index rebasing to 2005=100
