The SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics' resources: focus on curated databases
The SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (www.isb-sib.ch) provides world-class bioinformatics databases, software tools, services and training to the international life science community in academia and industry. These solutions allow life scientists to turn the exponentially growing amount of data into knowledge. Here, we provide an overview of SIB's resources and competence areas, with a strong focus on curated databases and SIB's most popular and widely used resources. In particular, SIB's Bioinformatics resource portal ExPASy features over 150 resources, including UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot, ENZYME, PROSITE, neXtProt, STRING, UniCarbKB, SugarBindDB, SwissRegulon, EPD, arrayMap, Bgee, SWISS-MODEL Repository, OMA, OrthoDB and other databases, which are briefly described in this article

Healthcare system maturity for integrated care: results of a Swiss nationwide survey using the SCIROCCO tool.
To assess the maturity of the Swiss healthcare system for integrated care and to explore whether this maturity varied according to several variables.
A Swiss nationwide individual electronic survey in November 2019.
Stakeholders identified via lists of the Swiss Forum for Integrated Care and of the integrated care unit of the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health, and representatives of 26 cantonal public health departments, were invited to participate.
The outcome was the maturity of the Swiss healthcare system for integrated care, measured with the Scaling Integrated Care in Context maturity model tool (SCIROCCO tool), which comprises 12 dimensions and questions rated on a 6-point scale.
Univariate analyses were first performed, followed by bivariate analyses, to find out whether maturity varied according to working linguistic region, healthcare profession, main domain of professional activity, implication in integrated care, attitude towards integrated care and attitude towards the Swiss healthcare system.
The 642 respondents were 53.7 years on average, 42.5% were women, 60.0% and 20.7% worked in the German and French-speaking parts of Switzerland, respectively. Overall, the maturity of the Swiss healthcare system for integrated care was evaluated as low, with dimension means ranging from 1.0 (±1.0) for the 'Funding' dimension to a maximum of 2.7 (±1.1) for 'eHealth Services'. Results only varied according to the working linguistic region.
Results highlight a limited maturity of the Swiss healthcare system for integrated care, as assessed at a national level by a large and varied number of healthcare stakeholders. They represent important information for the further development of integrated care in Switzerland, and should help identify areas requiring attention for a successful transformation of the Swiss healthcare system towards more integrated care
Understanding Learning for Work: Contributions from Discourse and Interaction Analysis
In recent years, interaction and discourse analytic methods have been applied extensively in various areas of educational research and have become an important theoretical perspective for those concerned with the study of learning in social settings. Following this innovative perspective, this chapter advances two main arguments. First, it stresses the idea that adopting a discursive and interactional approach on professional practice can contribute to the body of concepts and methods applied for understanding practice-based learning. And second, it considers that there exists a strong epistemological continuity between social theories of learning on the one hand, and research methods belonging to the field of discourse and interaction analysis on the second hand. From there, the aim of the chapter is to identify and specify an interdisciplinary field intersecting linguistics methods and professional education research. It is also to show what these methods consist of, how they may be enacted and applied and what are their potentialities and practical implications for researching the field of professional and practice-based learning.Arts, Education & Law Group, School of Education and Professional StudiesNo Full Tex
