Further Research. (a) Investigators shall be free at any time to seek and accept funding for any research in the Field, from any state or federal agency, private or public foundation except foundations owned or operated by a commercial entity other than Palomar (“Non-Profit Sponsored Study”). In the event that during the term of this Agreement an Investigator makes an invention in the Field and in the performance of any Non-Profit Funded Study, General agrees to give Palomar prompt notice of said invention and to give Palomar an opportunity to negotiate an exclusive license under General’s rights in said invention assigned to General by an Investigator, it being understood that General shall have no obligation to enter into such a license with Palomar.
(b) In the event that an Investigator during the term of this Agreement or for six (6) months thereafter wishes to seek funding from any for profit entity for additional research in the Field (it being understood that for funding sought during the term of this Agreement or any extension hereof such additional research will be research other than that which is described in the study protocols appended hereto as Schedule A), said Investigator shall do so in accordance with this paragraph. The Investigator shall submit to Palomar a description of such additional research and a budget of the costs to be funded by Palomar and a schedule of payment of such costs. Unless the parties shall otherwise agree in writing, negotiations between them over any such proposal shall not extend beyond the sixtieth (60) day next following the date when the proposal shall have first been so made.
(c) Whenever such negotiations shall end without agreement between the parties to proceed with the proposed research, the party proposing the additional research may go ahead without the other party and seek funding from any other sponsor including but not limited to a commercial sponsor for such proposal, so long as the subject matter of the proposal is not so closely related scientifically to the Study that sponsorship of such proposal by such other commercial sponsor (i) would in the opinion of General’s Trustee’s Committee on Technology Affairs after consultation with Palomar create a conflict of interest for General or any Investigator performing the Study or (ii) would conflict with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. It is understood that, in the event that General proceeds to seek support from such other commercial sponsor, for a period of ...
Further Research. Several paths for potential future research were identified after the review of the available publishing data. Developing a study to examine the “why” of author uptake and the motivations behind authors’ choice of open access publication would allow us to better understand the demand and impact of this and other agreements. Specifically, a mixed methods study incorporating both quantitative analysis of author and publisher data alongside a qualitative component comprising focus groups and/or survey data would enrich and deepen our understanding. Further exploring author uptake and author choice by academic discipline would be very helpful, both as a contribution to the literature as well as for practical outreach and engagement at Ohio State. Given the publishing portfolio of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, with wide and deep coverage in the humanities and social sciences, we could broaden our understanding of the impact of no-fee open access publishing on subject disciplines that tend not to have sizable grant funding. Interdisciplinarity is a focus of both Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx and Ohio State researchers, so further analysis of the author data to more fully understand disciplinary use would be an enlightening endeavor. With the addition of new agreements since first starting one with Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, analyzing this pilot agreement alongside other pilot or initial read and publish agreements could aid in understanding the impact of these kinds of open access agreements at scale. How are funds maximized over time? Can we determine any formulas or rubrics that can aid in both high-level and specific assessment of read and publish agreements? During our pilot implementation and analysis, our realization grew that author payment models can be an equity challenge, with effects beyond our institution. Importantly then, how can we address, measure, and reckon with the equity challenges of open access agreements that rely on author-side payment models, and their global effect?
Further Research. 4.1. If the Client proceeds with the Technology Licence, CSIRO and the Client will enter into discussions in good faith to determine whether CSIRO can perform any further research and development work for the Client relating to the use of the DSX Technology.
4.2. CSIRO will provide the Client with proposed work plans for any further research within the scope described in clause 0 for the Client’s approval. CSIRO and the Client will enter into separate research agreements in respect of any work plans proposed by CSIRO under this clause 0 and which are accepted by the Client. As far as practicable, the terms of any Further R&D Agreements will be equivalent to the terms of the agreement for the Phase 2 Research but with a provision allowing the Client to terminate, after paying for all work performed by CSIRO, if the DSX Technology infringes the Intellectual Property rights of a third party and prevents use of the DSX Technology for the Application.
4.3. Any work to be performed by CSIRO under any Further R&D Agreements will be charged at CSIRO’s standard rates, as varied from time to time.
Further Research. Further analysis could also be done with this data to better understand latrine aspects that drive latrine use among men and among women, as drivers of use may vary by gender. Additionally, the level of statistical significance associated with partitioning could be changed to be less conservative. This would result in a much larger tree that may reveal more latrine factors and combinations that are associated with a latrine being in use though large trees become increasingly difficult to interpret. Other opportunities for further research include conducting qualitative or quantitative evaluations on the impact of lights inside of latrines and tiled floors on latrine use. These two improvements were notable in both the multivariate analysis and CIT though there is currently little published research regarding their effects on latrine use.
Further Research. The story of the proposed κ statistic is not finished by publishing this preprint. First, the publication of an R package is envisioned containing ready-to-use functions to calculate all described measures. Such a package would allow researchers without an overly statistical background to use the measure in their research and can greatly facilitate the adoption of the proposed measure. In addition, more can be told about the proposed measure. Based on Xx Xxxxx et al. (2008), we envision publishing the simulation study to show that our proposed kappa statistic exhibits smaller root-mean-square errors than taking a weighted average of Fleiss’ kappas. Moreover, the large-sample variance of the proposed κ statistic still needs to be determined. An expression for the variance would enable statistical inference using the measure without bootstrapping. It especially paves the way for performing robust power analysis: researchers wishing to set up an experiment in which raters classify subjects into one-or-more categories would be able to calculate in advance the number of raters and subjects required to reach a certain confidence level. Finding the large-sample variance of our proposed κ statistic is by no means an easy quest: it took the scientific community 50 years to develop a general expression for the Fleiss’ kappa! Indeed, it was Gwet (2021) who finally came up with a correct formula for the variance of the Fleiss’ kappa. The variance described in Fleiss (1971) is simply wrong; the standard error of Xxxxxx et al. (1979) is valid only under the assumption of no agreement among raters; as such, it can only be used to test the hypothesis of zero agreement among the raters. Unfortunately, as many statistical software programs provide the standard error of Fleiss et al. (1979) along with the calculation of Fleiss’ kappa, it is immensely misused for all kinds of statistical inference. Let us avoid making the same mistakes when searching a large-sample variance of our proposed measure that presumably entails a generalisation of the formula found by Xxxx (2021). To conclude: now that we have established the idea of the proposed κ statistic, the same idea may be suitable to create other long-needed measures. For example, the literature on rubrics (Xxxxxx, 2017) lacks a unified way to compare the inter-rater reliability of two rubrics assessing the same phenomenon (e.g. book reviews of students, PhD proposals). Should such a measure exists, it would be possible to c...
Further Research. The data collected only identified whether or not a contract had the ‘intention’ of providing social value. This leaves potential for a qualitative line of research to determine whether those projects that had intended on providing social value did or failed in doing so.
Further Research. This study is an early step in the application of putting human trafficking in a public health framework. It can be carried out by further researchers and used to determine future methods of implementing and evaluating human trafficking prevention strategies. As awareness of this issue grows across functions and specifically in the public health field, researchers will hopefully keep the priorities for public health research on human trafficking in mind and use previous research to adapt new and effective ways to implement and evaluate strategies.
Further Research. The comparison between male and female students has given quite inconclusive results. The difference in error frequency is small and could be due to the length and volume of the collected material. In a more controlled setting, or with the use of standardised tests, the variables would be fewer and the results more reliable. In a larger and more exhaustive study, the errors made by male and female students might constitute the foundation for a comparison between proficiency level, communicative competence and the teachers' assessment of the student. The differences between grades 7 and 8 are similarly difficult to discern since the texts differ so much in length and distribution. Another interesting and relevant topic for further research is how the learners' attitudes towards EFL learning and teaching affect the acquisition process. Interviews and surveys might be able to show that students who come in contact with English more in their daily lives, e.g. through online games or social media, are more inclined to learn English and therefore are more careful in producing accurate grammar. The socio-economic background of the students could be studied as well in order to find out whether the proficiency in English is affected by the learners' background, their parents occupation or what implications e.g. living in a larger urban area might have. The teachers themselves might also have some influence over how EFL learning is perceived by the students. If the teachers share the same attitudes towards grammar and if those attitudes spread to the students, it could alter the conditions for a learning environment at the school.
Further Research. After the project is completed, it is intended that the public publications be made available as downloads on a dedicated website and through scientific search engines. Their long-term open availability assures that project results are easily accessible to other scientists and researchers, and that the project outcomes serve as the foundation for future top-level stream link research. To get the most out of the results, project partners can dig deeper into the subject and contribute to the research line, or as previously mentioned, engage in knowledge transfer activities. National and European funds are available to assist the continuation of successful project research lines by funding Ph.D. and postdoc positions. Educational material: Universities can use the knowledge acquired from the project as course material for the existing programs and subjects or can develop new courses (e.g., specialized master classes, new subjects within existing programs) or educational programs (e.g., specialized master programs, summer/winter schools).
Further Research. This exploration of the potential of a politico-legal analysis where ‘legal competences’ interact with intervening variables to analyse the EU and Member State coordination on sustainable development policies has brought some important insights which could lead to theory development and a broader assessment framework. The three case studies (chapter 4,5 and 6) have already set the scene with avenues for future research on the specific issues: ‘Team EU’ in UNFCCC negotiations, EU alternative fuel policies and SDG implementation across the EU and Member States. This section promotes more abstract and general ideas for further research. In the first place, this dissertation seems to show that the legal competences often do provide guidance on EU and Member State coordination in sustainable development policies. As the operationalisation of these powers has been rather broad, one could analyse whether some legal aspects have more authority than others e.g. the role of the Court of Justice or the development and evolution of Treaty provisions in practice. In addition, and interestingly, this study sheds light on particular political events in which legal aspects do not play a role and legal competences are deliberately not pushed to the limit by (especially) the European Commission. Xxx Xxxxxx (2010) found that EU competences are sometimes considered a ‘legal straightjacket’ by Member States that ‘forces them to coordinate’.641 Despite this understanding in the literature, this investigation lends support to the idea that competences are pushed more by Member States, especially to keep discretionary autonomy on e.g. financial (taxation) issues, the energy mix or land-use issues. These political battles on the division of competences, and more specifically the reasons why legal competences are habitually not used, could be the focus of further research. The finding that there are conditions in which the legal competences are used more stringently can be tested as a hypothesis for new cases. For the research to become more robust, findings of larger comparative case studies beyond sustainability policies appear to be needed, especially to reflect on mixed and shared 639 Xxx Xxxxxx, X. and Xxxxxx, S. (2012) ‘Explaining EU Activism and Impact in Global Climate Politics: Is the Union a Norm-or Interest-Driven Actor?’. JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, Vol. 50, No. 1, p. 169. 640 Oberthür, S.
