EMOOCs 2021
From June 22 to June 24, 2021, Hasso Plattner Institute, Potsdam, hosted the seventh European MOOC Stakeholder Summit (EMOOCs 2021) together with the eighth ACM Learning@Scale Conference. Due to the COVID-19 situation, the conference was held fully online. The boost in digital education worldwide as a result of the pandemic was also one of the main topics of this year’s EMOOCs. All institutions of learning have been forced to transform and redesign their educational methods, moving from traditional models to hybrid or completely online models at scale. The learnings, derived from practical experience and research, have been explored in EMOOCs 2021 in six tracks and additional workshops, covering various aspects of this field. In this publication, we present papers from the conference’s Experience Track, the Policy Track, the Business Track, the International Track, and the Workshops.
Global Perspectives on Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Higher Education Institutions
Quality accreditation in higher education institutions (HEIs) is currently a buzzword. The need to maintain high-quality education standards is a critical requirement for HEIs to remain competitive in the market and for government and regulatory bodies to ensure the quality standards of programs offered. From being an implicit requirement that is internally addressed, quality assurance activities become an explicit requirement that is regularly audited and appraised by national and international accreditation agencies. HEIs are voluntarily integrating quality management systems (QMS), institutional and program-specific, in response to the political and competitive environment in which it exi...
Energy Security and The Green Transition
The current energy crisis has raised important policy questions on how to strengthen short-term energy security while remaining firmly committed to the green transition, a challenge amplified by the recent consensus at COP28 to transition away from fossil fuels. This paper examines the historical determinants of the security of energy supply and analyzes the green transition implications for energy security. Looking back, we find that the diversification of energy trade partners, or the lack thereof, was the main factor that underpinned energy security dynamics within and across countries over the last two decades. Looking ahead, the green transition is expected to have a net positive effect on energy security provided investments are aligned to address new challenges posed by the increased reliance on renewables.
Understanding Global Higher Education
This volume brings together selected articles published in University World News (UWN) and International Higher Education (IHE) between 2011 and 2016. Researchers, policy makers, and practitioners alike further the development of higher education as a field of study through public and ongoing conversations. It is news, analysis, and commentary publications like UWN and IHE that facilitate this dialogue and keep pace with the most up-to-date developments in the field. Together, the articles included in this volume—alongside the section introductions—offer a rich and relevant picture of the dynamic state of higher education globally. While both publications are freely available online, this book provides a thematically coherent selection of articles, offering an accessible and analytic perspective on the pressing concerns of contemporary higher education.
Reuse in Intelligent Systems
The book is based on the best papers of IEEE IRI 2018 and IEEE FMI 2018, Salt Lake City, July, 2018. They have been enhanced and modified suitably for publication. The book comprises recent works covering several aspects of reuse in intelligent systems – including Scientific Theory and Technology-Based Applications. New data analytic algorithms, technologies, and tools are sought to be able to manage, integrate, and utilize large amounts of data despite hardware, software, and/or bandwidth constraints; to construct models yielding important data insights, and to create visualizations to aid in presenting and understanding the data. Furthermore, it addresses the representation, cleansing, generalization, validation, and reasoning strategies for the scientifically-sound and cost-effective advancement of all kinds of intelligent systems – including all software and hardware aspects. The book addresses problems such as, how to optimally select the information/data sets for reuse and how to optimize the integration of existing information/knowledge with new, developing information/knowledge sources!

Haatzaaiers
Nieuw Rechtse groepen slagen erin jongeren te rekruteren, op te leiden, te mobiliseren en te activeren. Ze verschillen daarin niet veel van terroristische groeperingen. Ze verspreiden een boodschap van ongelijkheid, racisme, negationisme en discriminatie. Ze gebruiken gretig desinformatie over migranten, vluchtelingen en andere kwetsbare groepen. Onveiligheidsgevoelens, angst, gebrekkige openbare informatie en simplistische verklaringen vormen hiervoor een vruchtbare voedingsbodem. Als influencers trachten ze aanhoudend de geesten te vergiftigen met propaganda en antidemocratisch gedachtegoed. Dit boek noemt ze onomwonden bij hun naam: haatzaaiers. Extreemrechts bezet intussen, ook op verdok...
Qui a tué Julien Lahaut ?
Le 11 août 1950, au cri de « Vive la République ! », les communistes viennent chahuter la prestation de serment du roi Baudouin. Une semaine plus tard, le leader charismatique du parti communiste, Julien Lahaut, est assassiné sur le pas de sa porte. Ce meurtre politique, considéré comme le plus important de l’histoire belge, n’a jamais été élucidé. Qui a assassiné Julien Lahaut ? lance aujourd’hui un regard critique sur l’enquête judiciaire réalisée à l’époque et déterre de nouvelles pistes. En plongeant dans les archives, les auteurs de cette enquête exclusive ont ainsi retrouvé un document « oublié » remontant à un certain André Moyen, un espion occupé Ã...
Dynamical Biostatistical Models
Dynamical Biostatistical Models presents statistical models and methods for the analysis of longitudinal data. The book focuses on models for analyzing repeated measures of quantitative and qualitative variables and events history, including survival and multistate models. Most of the advanced methods, such as multistate and joint models, can be applied using SAS or R software. The book describes advanced regression models that include the time dimension, such as mixed-effect models, survival models, multistate models, and joint models for repeated measures and time-to-event data. It also explores the possibility of unifying these models through a stochastic process point of view and introduces the dynamic approach to causal inference. Drawing on much of their own extensive research, the authors use three main examples throughout the text to illustrate epidemiological questions and methodological issues. Readers will see how each method is applied to real data and how to interpret the results.
