Abstract:
A virtual global eMuseum system, (GEMS) is a digital knowledge sharing system, connecting young children and community elders through a ubiquitous design. Respecting the values and requirements of the broadest community possible, GEMS follows a traditional practice where much of what we learn is handed down by previous generations in a direct familial fashion through stories, games and pictures. Now the Internet escalates opportunities to pass on our folk history and traditions. Increasing access to generational wisdom in this fashion provides a living testimony of who we are. This project is using GEMS to implement a virtual interactive community history kiosk. Children yet, the tale to hear, Eager eye and willing ear. Lovingly shall nestle near. —Lewis Carroll

Abstract:
AbstractFor an often indecipherable book with openly revolutionary aspirations, Hardt and Negri's Empire has received an astonishing degree of mainstream, as well as radical, attention. This in itself suggests the need for a serious investigation of Empire's content, but our interest does not lie in identifying this book as a curious cultural artefact. Empire is ultimately an important book because serious engagement with the contradictory richness of its ideas on the nature of empire, capitalism and resistance in our time, can help advance the 'liberatory' project that we share with Hardt and Negri. Only the most ungenerous of reviewers could fail to admire the ambitious scope of their attempt to integrate history, philosophy, sociology, culture, and economics with a politics from below. And, yet, the end result is a most frustrating book: full of promise but also of inconsistencies, self-contradictions, flights of exaggeration, and gaps in logic.

Abstract:
This work is a part of a large scientific project aimed at highlighting the potential of portable Raman equipment in characterizing jewelry materials preserved in museums, carried out in collaboration with gemologists and archeologists. In detail, we report the results of a measurement campaign performed for the study of gems and jewels preserved in the well-known Medagliere section at the Paolo Orsi Regional Museum of Siracusa (Sicily). The studied materials consist of exquisite examples of engraved loose gems and really rare examples of Hellenistic–Roman jewels, mainly coming from relevant Sicilian archaeological sites. Portable Raman measurements have been carried out using two instruments equipped with different excitation wavelengths. The obtained results have allowed for a complete characterization of the studied gemological materials, also suggesting sometimes misclassification for some valuable objects and gems.

ScienceFest is coordinated through the International JASON Project that introduces the world of science through live satellite broadcasts. Dr. Robert Ballard, the ocean explorer who found the Titanic, started the program in 1989. Included in the ScienceFest presentations at the John Ford Bell Museum of Natural History, Project MICRO run by the Minnesota Microscopy Society (MMS) was on display to the public. As in past years [1] the Project MICRO team of the MMS set up various microscope stations and invited the participants to record the things that they saw and to note what they learnt and mention the things they would like to see. The microscope stations are quite simple, low power ‘field’ microscopes and various samples as documented by the “Microscopic Explorations” [2] handbook that has been developed by the MSA in collaboration with the Lawrence Hall of Science [3] as part of their Great Explorations in Math and Science (GEMS) series.

Abstract. We describe a formaldehyde (HCHO) retrieval algorithm for the Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS) that will be launched by the Korean Ministry of Environment in 2019. The algorithm comprises three steps: preprocesses, radiance fitting, and postprocesses. The preprocesses include a wavelength calibration, as well as interpolation and convolution of absorption cross sections; radiance fitting is conducted using a nonlinear fitting method referred to as basic optical absorption spectroscopy (BOAS); and postprocesses include air mass factor calculations and bias corrections. In this study, several sensitivity tests are conducted to examine the retrieval uncertainties using the GEMS HCHO algorithm. We evaluate the algorithm with the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) Level 1B irradiance/radiance data by comparing our retrieved HCHO column densities with OMI HCHO products of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (OMHCHO) and of the Quality Assurance for Essential Climate Variables project (OMI QA4ECV). Results show that OMI HCHO slant columns retrieved using the GEMS algorithm are in good agreement with OMHCHO, with correlation coefficients of 0.77–0.91 and regression slopes of 0.94–1.04 for March, June, September, and December 2005. Spatial distributions of HCHO slant columns from the GEMS algorithm are consistent with the OMI QA4ECV products, but relatively poorer correlation coefficients of 0.52–0.76 are found compared to those against the OMHCHO products. Also, we compare the satellite results with ground-based multi-axis differential optical absorption spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) observations. OMI GEMS HCHO vertical columns are 9 %–25 % lower than those of MAX-DOAS at Haute-Provence Observatory (OHP) in France, Bremen in Germany, and Xianghe in China. We find that the OMI GEMS retrievals have less bias than the OMHCHO and OMI QA4ECV products at OHP and Bremen in comparison with MAX-DOAS.

Abstract:
Elementary school is a transition time for student interests and motivation and there is a need for teachers to provide opportunities to facilitate continued interest. One area of concern is in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. One pedagogical approach that may help with facilitating interest is problem-based learning (PBL; Barrows, 1996). The purpose of this study was to assess changes in students’ reported levels of individual interest in mathematics across time and to assess differences in individual interest based on amount of PBL exposure. Participants included students (n = 45) involved with Project GEMS (Gifted Education in Mathematics and Science; Roberts, 2008), which was a federally funded grant through the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Program. Interest in mathematics was measured at the beginning of the first fall semester students entered the program and at the end of each subsequent spring semester with a 17-item interest measure consisting of four sub scores: emotion, value, knowledge, and engagement. Results indicate a negative linear trend for composite and sub factors of interest across time except value. The PBL intervention did not moderate the change in interest across time. Conclusions, possible limitations, and future directions are discussed.

Abstract:
Currently, there is no standard protocol to identify students who are gifted in science. If students are identified as gifted early on in elementary school, teachers and parents can foster their interest, increasing the students’ knowledge, value, and affect as well as their willingness to re-engage science (Eccles & Wigfield, 2002; Gottfried & Gottfried, 1996; Häussler 1987; Neber & Schommer-Aikins, 2002; Osborne, 2003; Schunk, Pintrich, & Meece, 2008). In this study, a brief student identification form was developed for elementary school teachers to complete. The form was based on Hidi and Renninger’s (2006) four-phase model of interest development. The form was one piece of a more comprehensive identification protocol. Students in grades second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth from six Warren County elementary schools were asked to participate in this study. However, due to insufficient data, grades two and six were not used after collection. Few sixth grade teachers completed the forms and second graders did not take the ITBS. This study primarily focused on identifying students from underrepresented populations. These six schools, Cumberland Trace, Bristow, Lost River, Oakland, Richardsville, and North Warren, were chosen based on their larger population of students who qualify for free and reduced lunch.

Abstract:
The current investigation supports the objectives of Project GEMS (Roberts, 2008), a grant funded program whose objectives include the development and validation of a protocol to identify students from underrepresented and diverse populations as gifted in the content areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Identification of students from low-income and diverse populations as gifted has been a struggle with current assessment techniques (Baldwin, 2005). Project GEMS aims to address this problem through development of interest measures specific to the STEM areas for use within an identification protocol. The current project developed a measure to assess interest in mathematics. The construct of interest was targeted as it is correlated with many positive factors in education that lead to increased academic performance (Schunk, Pintrich, & Meece, 2008). Existing math interest inventories are designed for older populations, lack good psychometric properties and are atheoretical. To improve upon existing interest measures, Hidi and Renninger’s (2006) four-phase model of interest served as the theoretical basis to inform and guide the process of development and validation of a math interest inventory. A twenty-seven item self-report math interest measure was designed to assess the four phases of Hidi and Renninger’s interest model (emotion, value, knowledge, and engagement; 2006). Pilot and field testing of the measure were conducted in elementary schools selected on the basis of a high proportion of low-income students in a south central Kentucky school district. The sample consists of 1,429,429 students in grades two through six. The measure was hypothesized to evidence good internal consistency, a four-factor structure, and a significant and positive correlations between the Iowa Test of Basic Skills and the composite and subscales of the math interest inventory. The first hypothesis found support with an internal consistency reliability coefficient of .916 for the overall score. Results of confirmatory factor analysis supported a four-factor structure resembling Hidi and Renninger’s (2006) four phase model of interest and including the four components emotion, value, knowledge, and engagement. The correlations between the math scores from the Iowa Test of Basic Skills and the math interest inventory total score and scales partially supported the last hypothesis. The correlations were small and positive for the Values and Knowledge scales but small and negative for the Emotion and Engagement scales. The correlations for the total score of the math interest inventory were significant; however, their values had little practical significance. While the math interest measure evidences good reliability and support for the structure of the scales through confirmatory factor analysis, the current study did not provide evidence for a significant relationship with math achievement as measured by a standardized group administered math achievement test. These results are discussed in relation to limitations of the current study and recommendations for further investigation.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Mot bakgrunden av den allt högre graden av globalisering har nätverk fått en allt större betydelse för företag och organisationer. Globaliseringen har lett till en ökad konkurrens vilket har gjort att företag och organisationer idag upplever en större osäkerhet. Nätverk har därför blivit ett effektivt sätt att hantera denna osäkerhet på. Projektform har blivit den vanligaste arbetsformen i nätverk som med flera olika aktörer kräver en tydlig styrning, kommunikation och samarbete för att lyckas. Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att genom intervjuer med nätverksorganisationer förklara och beskriva hur de arbetar med utvärdering och prestationsmätning i projekt med deltagande medlemsorganisationer. Uppsatsen syftar vidare till att undersöka om de deltagande medlemmarnas varierande visioner, strategier och mål med projekten påverkar arbetet med utvärdering och prestationsmätning. Metod: För att nå studiens syfte har vi använt oss av en abduktiv metod. Där en flerfallsstudie har lagt grunden för det empiriska materialet då vi har intervjuat fem olika nätverksorganisationer. Intervjuerna har utgått från en semistrukturerad intervjuform. Det empiriska materialet har sedan analyserats med hjälp av de teorier vi valt ut. Slutsats: I vår studie har vi kommit fram till att projekten i nätverksorganisationerna till stor del formas av finansiären där projekten ofta är av kunskapskaraktär. Projektens utformning påverkar i sin tur hur nätverksorganisationerna arbetar med utvärdering och prestationsmätning. Prestationsmätning används men inte i syfte att identifiera vad projektens aktiviteter faktiskt genererar. Utvärderingarna baseras framförallt på intervjuer och enkäter från projektens deltagande medlemsföretag. Detta har vi ansett skapa en hög grad av subjektivitet då olika deltagande medlemmar innehar olika mål och syften med projekten vilket kan leda till en osammanhängande bild av projektens faktiskta värde och betydelse. Avsaknaden av kvantifierbara mått gör det vidare svårt att konkret utvärdera projektens värde och betydelse.

Abstract:
Body movement, hands-on activity, embodiment, social interaction, emotions, and self-reflection allow teaching artists of Barter’s Theatre’s Project REAL to conduct a lesson with an implicit learning experience as the focus. Barter Theatre’s Project REAL exists as a theatre for education program that collaborates with regular classroom teachers on delivering the curriculum through specific theatre exercises in order to connect the material personally to the students’ lives. Theatre tools provide a human experience that enhances learning for the student by use of kinesthetic movement, social learning, emotions and interpersonal skills. To understand the effects of Barter Theatre’s Project REAL, the director and teaching artists collected interviews with teachers, administrators, and students. Teaching artists also conducted pre and post assessments and end of the semester surveys with classes. This study aims to give insight to the results of Project REAL’s pedagogy as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the program.

La tesis se enfoca en la contribución de la estrategia del Branded Content en la construcción de comunidad de marca en medios sociales, específicamente de organizaciones sin fines de lucro. Para ello, se analizó el perfil de Facebook y las publicaciones de la organización sin fines de lucro It Gets Better Project de Estados Unidos, ya que esta es una marca social global dirigida a la comunidad LGBTQ. Esta se encarga de empoderar a jóvenes LGBTQ para desestigmatizarlos de los prejuicios y las dificultades ocurridas durante su proceso de aceptación. Objetivo que buscan lograr a través de su contenido de marca, que con el tiempo les a permitido crear una comunidad a su alrededor. La pregunta de investigación es la siguiente: ¿cómo contribuye la estrategia comunicacional basada en el Branded Content en la construcción de comunidad de marca de la ONG It Gets Better Project en su Facebook de Estados Unidos en el 2018? En ese sentido, la tesis aportará a los estudiantes y marcas, especialmente las sociales dirigidas a la comunidad u otros públicos estigmatizados, información sobre nuevas estrategias no intrusivas en la construcción de branding digital. Con ello, se revelará que el uso de experiencias personales de los seguidores y de la misma comunidad en la estrategia del Branded Content permiten la identificación colectiva entre los miembros y con la marca a través del storytelling en diferentes formatos (videos, imágenes y noticias), la adhesión al imaginario de esta y, a su vez, contribuyen con la marca. La metodología es de carácter cualitativa, basada en un estudio de caso, el cual se considera de tipo analítico y explicativo, que finalmente identifica y evalúa los diversos elementos del contenido de la marca It Gets Better Project que influyen en la construcción de su comunidad en torno a su imaginario.

Abstract:
L'osteoporosi, una malaltia complexa determinada tant per factors genètics com ambientals, està caracteritzada per una reduïda densitat mineral òssia (DMO), un deteriorament de la microarquitectura òssia i un augment del risc de patir fractures osteoporòtiques. En el present treball ens vam plantejar estudiar les causes genètiques que determinen l'aparició de l'osteoporosi mitjançant la realització d'estudis d'associació i estudis funcionals. <br/>Els gens candidats clàssics per a l'osteoporosi que hem analitzat han estat el gen <i>COL1A1</i>, el gen <i>ESR1</i>, el gen <i>VDR</i> i el gen <i>TGFB1</i>. Els estudis d'associació s'han dut a terme en la cohort BARCOS formada per dones postmenopàusiques de l'àrea de Barcelona. Els resultats obtinguts en la cohort BARCOS han estat incorporats en el projecte GENOMOS (metaanàlisi prospectiva amb 20.000 mostres). En la cohort BARCOS vam observar que polimorfismes de canvi puntual de nucleòtid (SNP) del gen <i>COL1A1</i> així com també determinats haplotips i la interacció entre ells o bé amb SNPs del gen <i>VDR</i> es trobaven associats a la DMO. Pel que fa al gen <i>ESR1</i>, vam trobar que l'haplotip LPX es trobava associat a la DMO femoral. Els resultats del projecte GENOMOS, van mostrar que només el polimorfisme Sp1 del gen <i>COL1A1</i> es trobava associat a la DMO. En el projecte GENOMOS, els polimorfismes <i>XbaI (ERSR1)</i>, Cdx2 <i>(VDR)</i> i Sp1 (<i>COL1A1</i>) es van trobar associats al risc de patir fractures.<br/>En la cohort BARCOS també vam analitzar l'efecte de SNPs situats en gens candidats no clàssics (<i>RUNX2</i> i <i>IL6R</i>). Pel que fa a <i>RUNX2</i> vam trobar que un SNP del promotor 2, però no un SNP del promotor 1 es trobava associat a la DMO femoral. Aquesta ha estat la primera vegada que SNPs del gen <i>IL6R</i> s'han analitzat en relació a fenotips osteoporòtics. Vam observar que SNPs i haplotips en aquest gen es trobaven associats a la DMO femoral i a l'índex de massa corporal (IMC). <br/>Com a segon objectiu ens vam plantejar completar l'estudi funcional dels SNPs del promotor del gen COL1A1 (-1997 G/T i -1663 indelT) en relació a les proteïnes CIZ/NMP4 i BMP2. Prèviament s'havia descrit que la proteïna CIZ/NMP4, un factor de transcripció arquitectònic que inhibeix la via osteoblastogènica de la BMP2, s'unia a la regió nucleotídica on es troba el SNP -1663 indelT. En les cèl·lules Saos-2 vam observar que el patró de transcripció de diferents construccions del promotor del gen <i>COL1A1</i> fusionat al gen de la luciferasa era similar tant si aquestes eren tranfectades de manera estable o bé de forma transitòria. En estudiar l'efecte de la BMP2 sobre l'activitat transcripcional del gen <i>COL1A1</i>, vam observar que mentre el promotor basal disminuïa la seva activitat en presència de BMP2, les altres construccions analitzades l'augmentaven. Les construccions que eren estimulades en major grau presentaven la regió del promotor on es troben els polimorfismes. Tot i això, analitzant els diferents haplotips, vam observar que aquests no participaven en l'estimulació induïda per BMP2. <i>In silico</i> la regió estimulada per BMP2, presenta dues possibles caixes d'unió de factors de transcripció de la via de la BMP2. En mutagenitzar-les per separat, però, aquestes no van semblar participar en l'estimulació induïda per la BMP2. Seguidament vam analizar el patró d'expressió de CIZ/NMP4 en diversos teixits humans i vam observar que diverses isoformes s'expressaven simultàniament en tots ells i també en les cèl·lules d'osteosarcoma humanes Saos-2 i MG-63. Es van identificar les isoformes 11H, CIZ6.1, 21H i 21H-I1. Aquestes dues últimes van ser clonades i sobrexpressades de manera estable en les cèl·lules Saos-2, les quals es van transfectar transitòriament amb el promotor del gen <i>COL1A1</i> i es van tractar amb BMP2. Els resultats van indicar que CIZ/NMP4 augmentava lleugerament la transcripció del gen <i>COL1A1</i> en absència de BMP2. En presència de BMP2, i contràriament al què s'esperava, vam observar que la sobrexpressió de CIZ/NMP4 no tenia cap efecte.<br><I>"ASSOCIATION AND FUNCTIONAL STUDIES WITH CANDIDATE GENES FOR OSTEOPOROSIS"<br/> <br/>TEXT:<br/><br/>Osteoporosis, a complex disease determined by genetic and environmental factors, is characterized by a reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and an increased risk of fracture. In this thesis we studied the genetic component of osteoporosis through association and functional studies. <br/>The classical candidate genes for osteoporosis we analyzed were COL1A1, ESR1, VDR and TGFB1. The association studies were performed with the BARCOS cohort, a group of postmenopausal women from Barcelona. The results obtained in this cohort were included in a prospective metaanalysis called GENOMOS (20,000 samples). In the BARCOS cohort we observed that SNPs in the COL1A1 gene, their haplotypes and interactions, and interactions with SNPs in the VDR gene were associated with BMD. The haplotype LPX (ESR1) was also associated with BMD. In GENOMOS, although several SNPs were found to be associated with fracture risk, the Sp1 polymorphism (COL1A1) was the only one associated with BMD. In the BARCOS cohort we also found that one SNP situated in promoter 2 of RUNX2 gene, but not one situated in promoter 1, was associated with BMD. Finally, this was the first time that SNPs in IL6R gene were analyzed in relation to osteoporosis and we found that they were associated with BMD and also with body mass index (BMI). <br/>The second aim of this thesis was the functional study of two SNPs situated in the promoter of COL1A1 gene in relation to CIZ/NMP4 and BMP2 proteins. It was known that CIZ/NMP4, an architectural transcription factor that inhibits the BMP2 osteoblastogenic pathway, binded to the COL1A1 promoter. We observed that the transcription pattern of differnt constructs of COL1A1 promoter was similar between transient and stable transfections. BMP2 stimulated all these constructs, except for the basal promoter. The constructs that were stimulated more, contained the region where the SNPs lie, but when the haplotypes were analyzed no differences were observed between them. In this region there are two putative transcription factor sites for the BMP2 pathway, but they seemed not to participate in the BMP2 stimulation. Several isoforms of CIZ/NMP4 were simultaneously expressed in different tissues. We identified 11H, CIZ6.1, 21H and 21H-I1 isoforms. These two last were stably overexpressed in Saos-2 cells, which were then transiently tranfected with COL1A1 promoter and treated with BMP2. In absence of BMP2, overexpression of CIZ/NMP4 isoforms slightly increased COL1A1 transcription. </I>

Abstract:
The purpose of the thesis is to exam how preschools inspired of Reggio Emilia philosophy is practicing the involvement of children’s interest in project work. The aim of this study is to contribute with new knowledge in which way children’s interest is made use of and how children can get involved within the boundaries of project work. The study has its starting point by following issues: - Which methods are used by the teacher to enable children’s interest in project work?- To what extend are children given influence and participation in project work?- Which of the children’s communicative resources and expressions such as gestures, looks and speech are the ones who get the most space to influence a project work? This is a case study where the information has been produced, processed and analyzed by a qualitative method. To collect data, semi-structured interviews with teachers have been combined with observations. The study links with Basil Bernstein's (2000) theory of power and control as well as Fanny Davidsson (2018) and Harry Shier's (2001) perspective on influence and participation. The results of the study show a complex picture in which different factors interact and give children more or less influence. The study shows that the most prominent methods the teachers use to be able to work based on children's interest are through observing, listening and reflection. Furthermore, the result shows that the structure of the activity, the teachers attitude and their child perspective are important for the grade of children's influence and participation in the project work. The children's ability to express themselves verbally and stay within the framework of the project work also proves to be of importance for the grade of children's influence and participation.

Abstract:
Since the 1990s, scholars from the fields of history and language participating in the interdisciplinary project "Nomen et Gens" have studied early medieval personal names in Europe. Core of the Project is a database concerning the onomastics and prosopography of the continental European barbarian kingdoms during long late Antiquity ca. 300–800 AD. The data was collected in the context of a project funded by the DFG and is currently being evaluated and offered to the public. Currently, about 10.000 name records are available online at www.neg.uni-tuebingen.de. This paper introduces the project, the current state of work and the data base; it also discusses problems of interdisciplinary cooperation especially concerning the lemmatisation of personal names.]

Abstract:
This master thesis is divided into two parts, one pedagogical and one engineering. The purpose of the pedagogical part of this master thesis was to investigate how students learn during projects. At the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, three larger student projects occurred where the students themselves developed a probe that was launched into the atmosphere. The supervisors of the projects wanted to find out how the students learn during the project. The thesis includes in-depth interviews with current and former university students. In order to compare and gain new perspectives on learning,the study also included interviews with high school students to identify their corresponding experiences of learning in their final projects in Swedish upper secondary school. The result from this study shows that the students learn through participating inactivities, collaboration and communication. Giving the students responsibility, a mutual goal and an important assignment makes them collaborate and learn from experience through reflection. The purpose of the engineering part of this master thesis was to investigate samples that were collected during the Arctic Summer Cloud Ocean Study in the summer of 2008. The samples were studied by using a scanning electron microscope. The results of the thesis are consistent with former studies on samples collected in Arctic. The images from the microscope showed microgels and how the gels assembled into larger particles, particles which can play a crucial role in the formation of clouds.

Abstract:
AbstractThe results of recent foresight projects reveal the impact of future ICT tools on the practice of scientific research. This paper presents several aspects of the process of building scenarios and trends of selected advanced ICT technologies. We point out the implications of emerging global expert systems (GESs) and AI-based learning platforms (AILPs). GESs will be capable of using and processing global knowledge from all available sources, such as databases, repositories, video streams, interactions with other researchers and knowledge processing units. In many scientific disciplines, the high volume, density and increasing level of interconnection of data have already exhausted the capacities of any individual researcher. Three trends may dominate the development of scientific methodology. Collective research is one possible coping strategy: Group intellectual capacity makes it possible to tackle complex problems. Recent data flow forecasts indicate that even in the few areas, which still resist ICT domination, research based on data gathered in non-ICT supported collections will soon reach its performance limits due to the ever-growing amount of knowledge to be acquired, verified, exchanged and communicated between researchers. Growing automation of research is the second option: Automated expert systems will be capable of selecting and processing knowledge to the level of a professionally edited scientific paper, with only minor human involvement. The third trend is intensive development and deployment of brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) to quickly access and process data. Specifically, GESs and AILPs can be used together with BCIs. The above approaches may eventually merge, forming a few AI-related technological scenarios, as discussed to conclude the paper.

Abstract:
This chapter introduces a component-oriented approach for developing mixed reality (MR) applications. After a short definition of mixed reality, we present two possible solutions for a component-oriented framework. Both solutions have been implemented in two different MR projects (SAVE and AMIRE). The first project, SAVE, is a safety training system for virtual environments, whereas the goal of the AMIRE project is to develop different authoring tools for mixed reality applications. A component-oriented solution allows developers to implement better designed MR applications, and it fosters the reusability of existing MR software solutions (often called MR gems). Finally, it supports the implementation of adequate visual authoring tools that help end users to develop their own MR applications with no programming skills.

Abstract:
Global, enterprise-wide, information systems (GEIS) projects are often delayed with budget over-runs often due to a lack of understanding of the key roles required on the project. The “hybrid” knowledge and skills requirement of functional GEIS teams, typically composed of both IT personnel and representatives from the departments where the system is going to be used, are generally not acknowledged and understood. This chapter presents the findings of a study conducted with project teams working in a multi-national organisation implementing and maintaining the HR “pillar” of an SAP GEIS located in four countries. The main purpose of that study was the identification of HRIS skills and knowledge in the key roles on the global project and make suggestions for development of project team members. Using a human capital frame of reference, we provide a guiding framework which can be used as a sensemaking tool by those responsible for managing people working in hybrid roles on such projects.

Abstract:
This chapter explores how fanfiction writers deploy characters from the television show Glee in the context of the It Gets Better anti-bullying YouTube project to imagine scenarios where the project’s teleological narrative fails to describe the lived experiences of queer youth. Glee reached peak popularity in 2010–2011, the year that It Gets Better was launched and queer YA began undergoing a publishing boom. In fanfiction that combines Glee with It Gets Better, fans repurpose It Gets Better to bring critical elements to the YouTube project that are missing from its official stories: sexual pleasure, and the possibility that it doesn’t always get better. These traces in material culture of young people writing back to It Gets Better, Mason concludes, illustrate problems with Jacqueline Rose’s argument about the untouched “middle space” between adult authors of children’s literature and the genre’s young audiences.

Abstract:
Natural and bio-engineered tissues are often composed of multiple fiber networks (fibrin, collagen, elastin, etc.). The microstructure and interactions between components determine the macroscopic mechanical properties of the tissues. Examples of multi-fiber networks include skin (collagen and elastin) and thrombus during the wound healing process (collagen and fibrin). In addition, tissue engineers (eg. [1]) use fibrin as a scaffold to seed cells for tissue growth; over time, networks of collagen and fibrin coexist as the fibrin is degraded and replaced with cell-synthesized collagen. Our group has previously investigated the mechanical properties of single fiber networks of fibrin and collagen, but has shown that these do not obey the law of mixtures in a collagen-fibrin co-gel [2]. The goal of this project was to understand the interactions between the collagen and fibrin networks in a collagen-fibrin co-gel.
