Abstract: With the world's focus on the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, a good news story receiving far less attention is that of Semida Masika, the last person in DR Congo confirmed to have Ebola virus infection and discharged from care after her recovery on March 4. This important milestone is a remarkable achievement given the insecurity in DR Congo, which led to serious attacks on health-care facilities, workers, and patients, and a continual disabling of the outbreak response.

Abstract: The OECD has made relevant progress towards reaching a consensus-based long-term solution to address the tax challenges arising from the digitalization of the economy and Pillar One is the last milestone of this tortuous path. In this article, the authors, without pretending to be exhaustive given the multitude of topics, wish to raise awareness among the international business community, illustrating some selected aspects deriving from Pillar One implementation that deserve further and deeper consideration in order to avoid triggering discontinuity to the current principles applied by MNEs to allocate income.

Abstract: Milestone intended to fix the steering stick of one of the Campo de Criptana windmills (Spain). In La Mancha, in order to orient the blades of the windmills to the direction of the dominant wind at each moment, the roof could rotate 360º on the vertical axis of the mill, driven from the outside by means of the steering stick, which is located on the opposite side to the blades. Once the blades were oriented, the steering stick was fixed to one of the twelve stone milestones distributed for it around the windmill. Each of these twelve milestones corresponds to one of the twelve windows located on the upper floor of the mill, which served the miller to determine the exact direction of the wind. 93 photos processed in Reality Capture Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab

Abstract: This milestone is now located in Reith (Annaberg, Lower Austria). Its original position is unkown, but it was probably located between Siebenbrunnen and Haupttürnitzrotte on route B 22. It marked kilometer 50 of the so-called Mariazeller Straße from St. Pölten to Mariazell. On one side "50.4 Klm. von St. Pölten." is engraved, on the other "28.4 Klm. von Mariazell.". The engraving on top is very difficult to recognize due to moss and lichen growth, as well as weathering and other damage. It should be "50 Klm.". The milestone is shown on the left with texture and on the right without. The engravings are much easier to see without texture. It dates back probably from the time between 1876 and 1890 and is from the same series as [this milestone](milestone-59-kilometerstein-59-026e833fe21c4c759839f1e4be069b43) N47.867727, E15.312687 02.

Abstract: Deliverable 3.4 “Spatial scenarios for urban neighbourhoods” marks the culmination of the research phase of Work Package 3 and the commencement of the next demonstration phase. Within Work package 3 (WP3), tasks 3.2 to 3.9 have contributed to Deliverable 3.4, via the stages of the four milestones detailed in Section 3 of this report. Work Package 3 concludes with Milestone 18, an inventory of demonstration sites in the partner cities where transition strategies emerging from the research work in Work Package 3 will be trialled in Task 3.9. Impacts and results of pilot actions on demonstration sites will be measured in Task 3.10, which will act as the link between the output of Work Package 3 and Work Package 7 “Integrated Transition Strategies”. Key high-level findings and conclusions are summarised as follows: Urban resilience precipitates a paradigm shift from command and control processes to adaptive and flexible approaches that recognise that change is the only constant and respects that citizens have knowledge of systems and their own actions. Urban resilience is not a new or abstract idea. There are examples of urban resilience in practice existing within the TURAS partner cities and regions, although the language of resilience thinking may not be referenced. Urban resilience promotes the use of systems thinking in relation to cities, highlighting that all systems are interconnected and interdependent, and emphasising the import of a synoptic view and layering of datasets in GIS in order to make connections and identify opportunities and vulnerabilities. Urban resilience requires the active engagement of citizens with their place and one another in order to build awareness and participation in effecting change. Urban resilience is operationalised through a continuous process of learning, adapting and adjusting generally referred to as adaptive co-management.

Abstract: Background and Objectives: The arrival of the Next Accreditation System and the ACGME Milestones heralded a new era in graduate medical education and resident assessment. The ACGME indicates that achievement of “Level 4” on the milestone subcompetencies is a graduation target and that ultimate graduation decisions rest with Program Directors. This study examined the utilization of the milestones in graduation decisions by Family Medicine residency programs. Methods: Family Medicine residency programs nationally were anonymously surveyed to determine the practices within their own programs as well as their understanding of what achievement of a “Level 4” meant. Surveys were sent to 555 unique Family Medicine programs via Survey Monkey. Results: The majority of Family Medicine residency programs surveyed did not require achievement of Level 4 in all subcompetencies in order to graduate, however there were some programs that did require this level of achievement. There were some programs (12%) that required achievement of “Level 4” in some of the subcompetencies. The most commonly identified subcompetencies in which this level of achievement was required resided under the Patient Care, Medical Knowledge and Professionalism competency umbrellas. Definition of “Level 4” varied between programs, with approximately half endorsing the ACGME-provided “graduation target” definition, while the remainder favored definitions ranging from “graduation requirement” to “competent.” Conclusions: Family Medicine residency programs utilize the ACGME milestones in different ways when making graduation decisions. There is varied opinion of how “Level 4” should be defined as well as varied milestone achievement requirements.

Abstract: Internationally there is a growing need for the development and cataloguing of training
materials. At present, a large number of educational resources are available through various
platforms, such as Wikis, GitHub and Moodle. However, such resources are not always easy to
find and to integrate into a learning course, amongst others, because the required metadata is
not available.
This document is the second milestone of Task 6.1 “Building training material for FAIR
implementation” and reports about the actions undertaken for the production and availability
of training materials for helping the ENVRI data centers and Research Infrastructures to
implement FAIR best practices in their data management.
The metadata of the educational resources will be hosted in an open web catalogue so that the
resources can be searched, discovered and accessed.

Abstract: Software has an important place in academia and as such it has an important place in the FAIR ecosystem. Software can be used throughout the research process; however it can also be an outcome of the research process. Distinguishing between these different roles is essential for any assessment of the `FAIRness of software’. This is the first milestone of the FAIRsFAIR project focused specifically on software as a digital object. In this report we discuss the state-of-the-art of software in the scholarly ecosystem in general and in the FAIR literature in particular. We identify the challenges of different stakeholders when it comes to finding and reusing software. Furthermore, we present an analysis of nine resources that call for the recognition of software in academia and that present guidelines or recommendations to improve its status - either by becoming more FAIR or by improving the curation of software in general. With this analysis we demonstrate to what extent each of the FAIR principles is seen as relevant, achievable and measurable; and in what sense it benefits software artifacts. Finally, we present 10 high-level recommendations for organizations that seek to define FAIR principles or other requirements for research software in the scholarly domain. Feedback and suggestions will be most welcome as comments on the public Google Doc version of this report https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yvdLSP6oH3XozVy4CJtThzGNHkseCBdvmxfruDYLB6Q/edit?usp=sharing

Abstract: Over the past seven decades, the Chinese language has seen continuous changes that emerged as the result of radical changes in the socio-political-cultural context of China. Drawing from an extensive literature review of previous studies on the Chinese language development trajectory, this paper revisits and refl ects on language practices in China and the respective features of language life in several key milestone periods since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The findings show that in general, China’s language planning and policy implementation have succeeded in managing language life for both the public and institutions. The success is demonstrated in the following aspects: nationwide popularization of the national common language (Guojia Tongyongyu); realization of the linguistic goal of the unifi cation of speech and writing for the fi rst time in the Chinese history; continuous improvement of overall language life across the society; and healthy development of language life towards diversity and harmony. This paper concludes that the use and development of Chinese over the past seven decades deserve further studies.

Abstract: There is an urgent need to teach “Writing for Publications” classes to graduate and doctoral students. Though the debate about who should instruct such classes continues, the paper proffers best practices for writing instructors to use while teaching it. The paper highlights the need for scholar-participants to opt for modeling as a way to familiarize themselves with disciplinary and journal conventions. The paper expands on the way online peer review workshops could be conducted at milestone points in the semester to elevate and formalize peer reviews, so integral to the publication process. A sample syllabus with week-by-week activity break-up is offered.

Abstract: The first release of the 5G EVE Portal is a major milestone in the 5G EVE end-to-end facility implementation roadmap. This first version of the Portal provides important services to all actors involved in 5G-EVE experi-mentation. One important decision taken by the 5G EVE project is to open its interfaces to other projects, but this has implications in the design and implementation of the Portal. Thus, the 5G EVE Portal architecture has been designed to provide services through a backend layer, which can be consumed by the graphical user inter-face implemented and offered by the 5G EVE projects. Furthermore, these services may be used by other au-thorised projects too. This document, building on deliverable D4.1, contains the details about the 5G EVE Portal, including its con-stituent components, all interfaces connecting these modules as well as the APIs offered by the backend towards other projects and experimenters. Apart from the integration of the components already presented in D4.1, this deliverable also offers some details of new elements, and how they interact with others. The 5G EVE project pays special attention to security aspects, so the central component of the backend layer is the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) component. All other components in the backend have to authenticate and authorize all requested actions using this compo-nent. For example, the Portal Catalogue Service only responses to authorized users about the content included in its databases; the Data Visualization tool restricts the access to metrics to authorized users too, etc. The Experiment Lifecycle Manager centralizes the most important actions related with the lifecycle of an experiment such as its preparation, execution and finalization, and it is precisely defined in this document. Finally, the File Storage component is described in this document as well. The main service provided by this component is to allow the uploading and downloading of VNF packages, which have to be onboarded by site managers. Last but not least, this deliverable provides a service handbook to all actors involved in a 5G experiment using the E2E facility provided by the 5G EVE project. The handbook presents an overview of all phases related with an experiment, from the design stage to the execution of an experiment, the actors involved in each step, the components of the graphical interface intended to implement each step and how to implement each task.

Abstract: <p>The globalisation of mankind as a moral and ethical justification for the installation of a worldwide domestication policy distracts the attention of leading Eurasian politicians from the actual fundamentals and detrimental threats of globalisation in the Eurasian space, especially if economic issues, investment programmes and lending are put in the foreground. These topics can relate to only short-term necessary regulation and control interventions without strategic perspectives of development of Eurasia. Such a narrow understanding of the situation creates a myth that the global expansion of the Western “value system” can continue in Eurasia indefinitely. This basic assumption of the modern "Enlightened" politics of Europeanisation of Eurasia is not just a utopia, a non-existent place like the ancient Greeks thought. It may create a dystopia, the worst place in the world. Will we live in such Eurasia like this?</p>
