In this paper we describe the pragmatic approach of initiating, designing and implementing the Data Management Plan (DMP) and the data FAIRification process in the multidisciplinary Horizon 2020 nanotechnology project, Anticipating Safety Issues at the Design Stage of NAno Product Development (ASINA). We briefly describe the general DMP requirements, emphasizing that the initial steps in the direction towards data FAIRification must be conceptualized and visualized in a systematic way. We demonstrate the use of a generic questionnaire to capture primary data and metadata description from our consortium (data creators/experimentalists and data analysts/modelers). We then display the interactive process with external FAIR data initiatives (data curators/quality assessors), regarding guidance for data and metadata capturing and future integration into repositories. After the preliminary data capturing and FAIRification template is formed, the inner-communication process begins between the partners, which leads to developing case-specific templates. This paper assists future data creators, data analysts, stewards and shepherds engaged in the multi-faceted data shepherding process, in any project, by providing a roadmap, demonstrated in the case of ASINA.

Efforts to solve environmental pollution in densely populated communities in urban areas are not only the responsibility of the government. Communities as part of social system also have an important role to control the environmental impacts of pollution. One way that community members must do in reducing environmental damage is familiarize environmentally friendly behavior. This research focuses on the analysis of environmentally friendly behavior of Pulo Geulis community members in Bogor City. Pulo Geulis is a Delta in the middle of the Ciliwung River which more or less contributes to whether or not the Ciliwung River is polluted in Bogor City. The communication process is an important factor in changing individual behavior. This study aimed to analyze the structure of community communication networks in developing environmentally friendly behavior. Primary data was obtained through a survey of 100 respondents and in-depth interviews with several informants. Data were analyzed using sociometric methods. The results of sociometric analysis showed that the structure of the community communication network in building community-friendly behavior is a radial personal network. This structure illustrated that community information centers are located in certain individuals such as head of RW, head of RT, or Posyandu cadres. The radial personal network in this study also described the formation of clique, star, bridge, and isolates in the community communication network at Pulo Geulis.

Transfer of results of scientific research to society for discussion and consumption is nowadays one of scientists’ responsibilities. Along with the change of roles of scientific institutions, scientists have also become obliged to distribute results of scientific research, not only within their own community, but also to the part of society that does not consist of specialists in the respective field of research, and that consists of potential consumers of the results of scientific research, including industry as potential commercializers of the research result.The objective of the research was the identification of factors affecting the transfer of results of scientific research to industry (commercialization of science) and the science communication process. Both secondary and primary data were used in the research. Primary data was acquired by semi-structured interviews with experts from industry, university and government.Several factors affecting the commercialization of science have been identified in the situation of Latvia. There is no motivational system for scientists regarding the organization of science communication in Latvia, but the science communication role is essential for cooperation between university and industry.

Due to the congestion of the traditional transport infrastructure across Europe, the EU has developed the EU Common Transport Policy. This policy endorses the use of waterborne craft to ease onshore congestion. In addition to this there have been follow-up measures in the form of "short sea shipping" and lately the concept of "quality shipping" has surfaced to allay concerns arising from the standards of shipping. It is with this backdrop that an increase in demand for high-speed craft (HSC) has occurred. This in turn has created new concerns of how the safety of HSC can be assured when there is such a lack of historical data. To deal with these concerns, there has been a call for new design tools and methodologies to be developed that raise the profile of safety issues from the very beginning of the design process. It was with this in mind that funding was granted for an EU project called Safety at Speed (S@S), the details of which are described in the paper. S@S is made up of 15 partners spread throughout the EU. The partners come from all areas of the marine industry, including universities, designers/builders, class societies, and operators. The project has been split into six research areas. These are collision and grounding, motions, foundering, containment of damage and fire, integration, and case study. The paper is written from the perspective of the integration work package and describes in detail the driving "vision" behind the project. The perceived structure of the project is examined. The problems that the partners have had to overcome are laid out. These problems have led to an evolution of the interrelationships of work packages. The paper goes on to discuss the use of parameters and how their different forms can be incorporated into the design tool with reference to vast fluctuations in quality of input data. Finally, there is a discussion of how the output results from use of the tool, both for risk and cost, can most usefully be presented.

INTRODUCTION: Effective communication is integral to the general practice consultation, yet it is acknowledged that problems commonly occur. Previous research has shown that misunderstandings with potentially significant consequences occur frequently, but does not provide a clear picture of how and why miscommunication occurs, or how such problems can be prevented or resolved. This study explored the occurrence and management of specific examples of miscommunication in two routine general practice consultations. METHODS: A multi-method case study approach was used. The primary data collected for each case included a video-recorded consultation and post-consultation interviews with each general practitioner (GP) and patient. Instances of communication mismatch were examined using in-depth interaction analysis techniques. FINDINGS: GPs and patients may not be aware when misunderstandings have occurred. In-depth analysis of the case studies revealed the complexity of miscommunication: it was not a straightforward matter to locate when or why instances of communication mismatch had occurred, and each of the mismatches was quite distinctive: (1) they were identified in different ways; (2) they occurred at different points in the communication process; (3) they arose because of problems occurring at different levels of the communication, and (4) they had different consequences. CONCLUSION: Given the frequency and complexity of miscommunication in general practice consultations, GPs need to consider adopting various strategies, at both the practice/systems level and the level of the consultation interaction to minimise the risk of communication problems. KEYWORDS: Communication; general practice; physician-patient relations

The ExaQUte project participates in the Pilot on Open Research Data launched by the European Commission (EC) along with the H2020 program. This pilot is part of the Open Access to Scientific Publications and Research Data program in H2020. The goal of the program is to foster access to research data generated in H2020 projects. The use of a Data anagement Plan (DMP) is required for all projects participating in the Open Research Data Pilot, in which they will specify what data will be kept for the longer term. The underpinning idea is that Horizon 2020 beneficiaries have to make their research data findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable (FAIR), to ensure it is soundly managed.
