Reasons kids should use apps and what apps and parents must consider

20 reiche Länder planen bis 2050 neue Öl- und Gas-Projekte, die zusammen weitere 173 Gigatonnen CO₂-Emissionen verursachen werden, wenn es nicht gelingt sie zu stoppen. Oil Change International hat einen Bericht über den Anteil der verschiedenen Staaten an den Expansionsplänen veröffentlicht. Mit einem Drittel entfällt der Hauptanteil auf die USA.

Die G20-Staaten haben fossile Energien 2022 mit dem Rekordbetrag von 1,4 Milliarden Dollar subventioniert, so ein neuer Bericht des International Institute for Sustainable Development. Ein großer Teil dieser Subventionen wurde als Reaktion auf die Energiekrise nach der russischen Invasion der Ukraine gezahlt. Die Subventionen stehen im Widerspruch zur Selbstverpflichtung bei der COP26, fossile Subventionen abzubauen. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/aug/23/g20-poured-more-than-1tn-on-fossil-fuel-subsidies-despite-cop26-pledges-report

Der britische Premierminister Sunak hat angekündigt, die Öl- und Gasvorkommen in der Nordsee maximal auszunutzen und über 100 neue Bohrlizenzen zu vergeben. Er machte deutlich, dass er die Ausbeutung des Rosebank Fields genehmigen wird, mit 500 Millionen Barrel das größte nicht erschlossene Ölfeld Großbritanniens. Die Ankündigung stieß auf heftige Proteste auch konservativer Abgeordneter. Die Behauptung, im Dienst der Energiesicherheit zu handeln, gilt als Ablenkung. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/31/dismay-as-rishi-sunak-vows-to-max-out-uk-fossil-fuel-reserves

Wie eine Untersuchung der NGO Uplift zeigt, werden die Öl- und Gasfelder, deren Ausbeutung in Großbritannien geplant ist, die Energiesicherheit des Landes kaum vergrößern. Es ist davon auszugehen, das Öl und Gas aus diesem Feldern größtenteils exportiert werden. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/11/new-north-sea-oil-and-gas-fields-will-not-meet-uks-energy-needs

Der italienische Energieminister Gilberto Picchetto Frattin betreibt einen schnellen Ausbau der LNG-Infrastruktur und die Ausbeutung küstennaher Öl- und Gaslager. Gleichzeitig hält die Meloni-Regierung am Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien fest.

Es ist eindeutig, dass Ölfirmen noch zusätzlich gefördert werden, statt ihre Profite abzuschöpfen.

Zum Kompromiss zwischen den amerikanischen Demokraten und Joe Manchin. Es ist interessant, dass bei diesem Kuhhandel zweimal das Wort Geschichte verwendet wird, einmal von Joe Biden.

Fascinating challenge... how do we design education to maximize "viral" reach?

Excellent question. How do we communicate "this is worthy of more time" as well as "this really shouldn't take that long"?

How To Get The Most Out Of Virtual Learning – Research Digest. (n.d.). Retrieved September 29, 2020, from https://digest.bps.org.uk/2020/07/30/how-to-get-the-most-out-of-virtual-learning/

This article talks about the challenges of developing for VR and the extra work involved over creating traditional games. It looks at the main areas of difficulty that come with virtual reality development and then presents what solutions developers are coming up with to overcome those challenges. Some of the challenges are familiar to developers, such as trying to obtain a high frame rate, but have new angles that need to be considered such as wider viewing angles and lower latency. The article covers eight main technical challenges and then dives into the solutions that developers are applying to these challenges. The author wraps up the article by stating some of the concerns about virtual reality and that some may consider it just a novelty. Overall though, he feels as if virtual reality is a huge leap in technology and is one that developers should start working on it.

is your company embracing just in time learning This article, by shift learning (a credible if not foremost publisher) lists benefits of just in time learning. Among those are the ability to provide up to date and easily accessed information. They argue that it creates more engaged employees but do not provide data to support this argument. rating 3/5

what is just in time learning: build an engagement engine This article helps professional developers strategize about the use of just in time learning. Some of the tips are unsurprising while others offer new ideas. It is a quick read and useful for ideas for professional developers. rating 5/5

This does not necessarily seem to be of top quality but it is the only item I have found so far that addresses just in time training specifically within healthcare. It does not do so in great depth. It does briefly address technology and mobile learning but not in a way that is tremendously insightful. rating 2/2

What is just in time training This is an introductory and brief article that relates to just in time training. It describes the conditions needed to bring about adoption of this process. I am not in a position to evaluate the content but the ideas seem useful. rating 4/5

This article explains just in time learning (such as that which can be done via devices) within the context of higher education. My interest is in public health education, but at this moment, I am not sure how much I can narrow in on that topic, so I will save this for now. This is obviously not a scholarly article but is of some interest nonetheless. rating 2/5
