Opening up Spaces to Support Rural Business in Scotland
The Open University has a commitment to releasing core curriculum openly, while we have always edited for “the open” tailoring has been minor. Rural Entrepreneurship in Scotland is a different model. It is based on material to develop your business idea from across our academic programme. However, the material has been revised significantly to place it in a rural Scottish context. Setting up a business or social enterprise is a complex and personal undertaking. It is about more than knowing the right steps, it is about applying that knowledge in context. The module materials are designed around “real” case studies developed with key stakeholders within rural Scotland. One of the benefits of releasing curriculum in this way is the ability to evaluate how it works in the world and adapt it accordingly. For example, we are using the analytics to track topics of particular interest and looking at how we can enhance and improve those components. One of the benefits of low cost reversioning content for less populated curriculum areas is the ability to invest resources in supporting and understanding how resources are used in practice. Through these workshops with rural entrepreneurs we are able to assess how open education operates in practice for practice. We have learnt from working in the open, our analytics suggest the finance component is of crucial, while our outreach work suggests we need to develop a new component on generating entrepreneurial ideas
A molecular genetic approach to roebuck individual identification in the case of poaching in Serbia
Application of the molecular genetic methods in forensic cases dealing with
wild animals has significantly increased recently. These techniques are
practically used in order to help solving four key problems : determination
of kind of the wild animal, geographic origin, kinship ties and individual
identification. In this work the first case of introducing the examination of
polimorphism of microsatelite genetic markers within forensic analysis in the
cases of poaching in Serbia is presented. The objectives of this forensic
analysis was to determine if the meat confiscated during house search of the
suspect comes from roebuck origin (Capreolus capreolus), which remains had
been found by a game warden in the field during closed season, where the
suspect denied the offense, claiming that the meat comes from other roebuck
that had been shot during the previous hunting season. DNK was isolated from
the skin and fur samples taken from the roebuck corpse found in the woods, as
well as from the frozen meat found in the suspect’s house. Both amplification
and polimorphism examination of the eight microsatelite markers (ROE01,
NVHRT21, NVHRT24, NVHRT48, NVHRT73, RT7 AND RT27) were carried out. In all
the examined samples, the same pattern of variability of the tested
microsatelites was determined, that is it was proved that DNK profiles of the
samples taken from roebuck corpse were identical to DNK profile of the meat
sample found in the suspect’s house. This result clearly indicates that all
the examined biological samples originate from the same animal, and
consequently represents forensically valid evidence in the case of roebuck
poaching. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. III46002

GWU Mourns Loss of Assistant Athletics Director
The Gardner-Webb University community is mourning the loss of longtime athletics department administrator Mike Roebuck, who passed away this week at the age of 65. Roebuck was in his 14th season as assistant athletics director for academic services, and he previously served six years as the University’s director of financial aid. “We are devastated by the news of Mike’s passing,” said GWU Vice President for Athletics Chuck Burch.https://digitalcommons.gardner-webb.edu/gardner-webb-newscenter-archive/2208/thumbnail.jp
Run/Walk Honors Late Gardner-Webb Athletics Administrator Mike Roebuck
Hundreds of runners and walkers traveled a mile around Gardner-Webb University on April 30 to honor Mike Roebuck, an avid runner and former GWU athletics administrator who passed away earlier this year. The first “A Mile for Mike” honored Roebuck, who served Gardner-Webb for 20 years, first as director of financial aid and then as assistant athletics director for academic services. In addition to the run/walk, the event included comments by Roebuck’s family and GWU Vice President for Athletics Chuck Burch.https://digitalcommons.gardner-webb.edu/gardner-webb-newscenter-archive/2170/thumbnail.jp
