Knowledge on the impact of climate change on our lives has been increasing- more data will deepen our analysis and models. This podcast discusses some of the elements of human society and biological processes that are hard to model and their implications for climate change. Guest Prof. Charles Kolstad also suggests areas for further research.

Guest: Prof. Francois Engelbrecht Professor Francois Engelbrecht will discuss the results of the 2021 IPCC Study. The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Report was released today. Many of the changes observed in the climate are unprecedented in thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years, and some of the changes already set in motion—such as continued sea level rise—are irreversible over hundreds to thousands of years.

Guest: Prof. Jane Duncan | Prof Of Journalism at Dept Of Journalism, Film And Television At University Of Johannesburg Following weeks of speculation, President Cyril Ramaphosa finally announced his much anticipated Cabinet reshuffle in an address to the nation last night.   Most notably, Joe Phaahla comes in as the new Minister of Health following the resignation of Zweli Mkhize, while Enoch Godongwana comes in as Finance Minister.   Police minister Bheke Cele, who was criticised for his ministry's handling of the recent unrest, remains in his post, while Ramaphosa has scrapped the Ministry of State Security and moved the function into the Presidency. The president said this consolidation of the security cluster was in order to improve its strategic management and effectiveness. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Professor Greg Jackson joins Tim to talk about what it takes to pass the American citizenship test, what's on it, and what all means. Do you think you could pass the test? You may be surprised. You may know Greg from previous episodes where we discussed George Washington, the history of the American Flag, or the history of the U.S. Capitol building. Greg is a historian and history professor at Utah Valley University. And he's the host of the very popular podcast called, “History that Doesn't Suck.” In this episode, we explore the test to become an American citizen. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Citizenship_Test_auphonic.mp3 Less than two years ago, The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation decided to conduct a test to find out just how much Americans actually know about their country, its history and what it means to be a citizen. The country failed. But let's be more specific. The survey found that two out of three Americans would not pass the test that's required to become a U.S. Citizen. First, a little background on that test. Before an immigrant to the United States can take the Oath of U.S. Citizenship, he or she must pass a naturalization test that's administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). It's a two-part test. There is a civics test. And there is an English language test. While some accommodations may be made for age and physical limitation, applicants for citizenship are expected to demonstrate they can read, write and speak words in ordinary and daily usage in the English language. And they have to demonstrate that they have a basic knowledge and understanding of American history, government and tradition. So, when the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, conducted its survey, here are some highlights – or lowlights – of what it found. Only 13 percent, or almost 1 out of 10 Americans knew that the Constitution was ratified in June 1788. Most thought it was 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was signed. 60 percent, that's 6 out of 10 Americans, did not know the countries the U.S. fought against in World War Two. More than half of those surveyed did not know how many justices are on the U.S. Supreme Court. There are nine. People who were 65 years old and older scored best with 74 percent answering at least 6 out of 10 questions correctly. Those 45 years old and younger did the worst. Only 19 percent were able to pass the exam. I know what you're wondering right now. You're wondering if you could pass the exam yourself.  Well, before you try to answer that, we decided this may be a good time to take the mystery out of the test.

Guest: Prof. Peter AlexanderDuring his career Peter Alexander has had the privilege to work in a variety of positions including Sales, Marketing, College Professor and Small Business Owner. Each role had one thing in common he says – high stress. It got so bad, Pete was diagnosed with stress-related diabetes and also ended up in the hospital with a severe case of diabetic ketoacidosis, and only a few hours away from being comatose. It was a huge reality check. He knew it was time to walk away even though I had a great job, secure income and good benefits.

Supreme Court Won't Take Up California's Sanctuary Law Case This morning the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the Trump Administration’s challenge to California’s so called “sanctuary state” law. That leaves in place state rules that prohibit local California law enforcement from helping federal immigration authorities apprehend and deport people in the country illegally. Guest: Prof. Jessica Levinson, Loyola Law School Protests Erupt in Palmdale and Victorville Over Two Black Men Found Hanging Amid the ongoing protests for racial justice, two Black men have been found dead, hanging from trees in desert cities outside of Los Angeles. Reporter: Cerise Castle, KCRW Should I Get Tested? And When? Mass protests and the loosening of shelter-at-home orders are bringing more people together. Public health officials recommend getting tested for COVID-19 if you think you’ve been exposed. But doctors say it’s important to know when to get a test and to understand what the results mean. Reporter: Peter Arcuni, KQED Science Imperial Co. Has Highest COVID-19 Infection Rate in Calif. So far, more than 4-thousand people have tested positive for the coronavirus in Imperial County and 43 people have died from the virus there. Reporter: Julie Small, KQED

California Reacts to Calls to "Defund the Police" There’s a growing movement calling on governments to “defund the police,” as nationwide protests continue over the killing of George Floyd. It’s a provocative idea. But what exactly these kind of long overdue police reforms might look like in real life? Reporter: Scott Rodd, CapRadio Mayors: Some Promise to Reallocate Police Funding, Others Balk Some mayors are resisting calls to reallocate police funding, saying it’s not realistic. The city of San Jose released its budget just yesterday. And the mayor there says defunding urban police departments is "the wrong idea at the worst possible time." Reporter: Adhiti Bandlamudi, KQED "Defund the Police": Just a Slogan Or An Opportunity? Police unions will stand in opposition to many of the reforms that are being proposed in this moment. But what about the officials who run those departments? We wanted to know if there's appetite for change at the top. Guest: Prof. David Kennedy, director of the National Network for Safe Communities at John Jay College of Criminal Justice State Releases Guidelines for Reopening Schools Facial coverings, temperature checks, and spacing of students per public health guidelines are among several of the recommendations. Courts Balance Safety Against Rights As They Reopen The state’s court system has been paralyzed over the last few months, first by the pandemic, and then by protests, which forced courts to close just as trials were restarting. California courts are trying to balance public safety with constitutional rights. Reporter: Sheraz Sadiq, KQED Oakland Protests Birth Murals on Plywood Protection Downtown Oakland has been the site of massive protests in the past week and a half -- and now it's the site of an outdoor art gallery of sorts. Bonafide artists and amateurs alike painted giant murals on the plywood covering windows of businesses there. Guest: Jonathan Long, artist and organizer

Canadian Common Sense – Why No Alarm? The decision not to use the emergency response system on Saturday night while an active shooter was driving around the countryside of Nova Scotia may have cost innocent lives. Updates were provided via Twitter, but not everyone uses the platform. Human rights activists around the world are uniting and saying China must be held accountable for covering up information on the novel coronavirus Evidence is growing that points to just how much the Chinese government knew about the novel coronavirus, and that they engaged in gagging and detaining medical officials or any people who spoke out about the threat the virus posed. Guest: Prof. Irwin Cotler, Former MP for Mount Royal; former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada and Chair of the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights Would one reopening policy work for all corners of America? That’s the question that many people are asking as the U.S. plans to reopen the economy amid the continued spread of covid-19 Infection rates and mortalities look very different across the United States but the government wants to implement a single policy for re-opening the country.

Guest: Prof. Dr. Rainer Thome, Professor for Intelligent Business Synergy at University of Würzburg and business man, expert and visionary in the field of digital transformation and progress. Digital transformation and progress will change the way we work and learn in the future. While the speed of economic development increases and cycles get shorter, companies have to make sure that their employees do not lose contact. Learning-cycles  getting shorter. Moreover, people will have to bring - additionally to their working-space-specific knowledge - interdisciplinary competences. On the one hand we will need people who understand markets and processes, who understand computer science and technology. On the other hand, we need teachers and instructors who are up-to-date  and are able to lighten up the fire in people, promote curiosity and the understanding for each-other. We talk about new forms of education - where content and information are available whenever people need it. Modern technology and voice control are opening up new opportunities. But still, one of the biggest challenge is to make people willing to use it – therefore it is essential to create a wonderful UX and eliminate friction. Curious?

In this Episode Prof. Dr. Sebastian von Mammen gives a short excurse to the field of Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI). One aspect here is the avatar research, where you can see yourself being represented in the virtual world. What impact does that have on your experience in the virtual world – does it change your behavior for instance if you perceive yourself  differently than in reality We also talk about local gaming networks and future research projects, about interactive systems and complex interactive simulations for developmental biology. Guest: Prof. Dr. Sebastian von Mammen, full professor at the University of Würzburg. He is professor of Games Engineering and member of the Chair of Human-Computer Interaction. He is an expert in the field of Games Engineering, Serious and Immersive Games, and Real-time Interactive Systems. http://games.uni-wuerzburg.de/

Guest: Prof. Dr. Axel Winkelmann, full professor at the University of Würzburg. He is head of the chair Business Management and Business Information. He is an expert in the field of Information Management, ERP-Systems, Data-Management and Business Process Standardization. In this episode we talk about a topic which is essential and more or less “ERP for zero”: The challenge of capacity and resource allocation within a company and on B2B level. You will hear about an exciting approach of building a B2B-market-place in the field of additive manufacturing (3D-prinitng). As the solutions for matching supply and demand on an inter- and intra-company level are lacking, Prof. Axel Winkelmann and a team of researchers and companies are looking behind the value chain and started to develop a market design Moreover we talk about eStandards – this is not a new topic. As we in Franconia would say, “old wine in new tubes”. The problem is that there are a lot of slightly different versions or dialects of standard software products. The issue occurs when companies transact and exchange data. If you are a large company you can more or less force your business partners to use your “dialect”. But if you are small company you do not have much negotiating power and therefore have to accept the specification of bigger companies. Finally we look behind the scenes of Germany’s largest ERP-Lab. Prof. Dr. Axel Winkelmann tells us the deal behind the ERP-Lab, what the goals are, and how companies could profit from the ERP-Lab. Check out #3 Episode of the “WUEconomics – outside the box – Podcast” for more details and insights.  

Talking about Industrial Revolution 4 people think about robot arms, drones or digital glasses. But implementing these techniques is not the main challenge to most SME (small and medium-sized companies) today. What they really need is to focus on building a centralized data fundament which is crucial for further standardization and automation of processes and the implementation of new techniques and Cyber Physical Systems. Another huge issue for companies in times of digitalization is to understand the changing consumer needs and benefits. It does not help you in the future what you have done in the past. Tradition is not a business model. Companies have to analyze and use data so that they can strategically adapt and react to changing consumer needs. In this episode we talk about the disruption of the music industry and why IKEA might become a player in the house-building and construction industry.

Talking Urology Episode 4 - Guest: Prof. Victor Nitti

Living Sensationally – How Understanding Our Senses Can Transform Our Relationships And Our Life with Prof. Winnie DunnAired Thursday, 7 July 2016, 7:00 PM ETWe all want to live a satisfying life, but what that means to you may be quite different than what it means to others in your life.For example, how do you feel when you bite into a pear…wear a feather boa…stand in a noisy auditorium…or walk past a perfume counter in a department store? Some people love the grainy texture of a pear, while others shudder at the idea of this texture in their mouths. Touching a feather boa might feel luxurious and sensual to you, while others will bristle at the idea of all those feathers brushing on the skin. And strong scents or noisy, busy environments will energize some people, and overwhelm others.Now imagine the tension and stress it could cause to your relationship if your partner needed to wake up to to bright lights, loud music, and the aroma of strong coffee to psyche them up for the day, while you required a slow, calm awakening with silence, dim lighting, and zero environmental stimulation to function properly.We rarely think about it, but we all have our own pattern of responding to everyday experiences such as these, and they can make or break our day. In her eye-opening book, Living Sensationally: Understanding Your Senses, Prof. Winnie Dunn explains how understanding our sensory profile and those of our children, colleagues and loved ones can not only help us understand our own and others’ behavior and choices but can also help eliminate misunderstandings, tension and stress that may be affecting our relationships at home and work.Join Sandie and Dr. Dunn as they discuss:• The Four Major sensory types – Seeker, a Bystander, and Avoider or a Sensor • How to discover your own pattern and those of your friends, children and colleagues and loved ones • How to eliminate misunderstanding, anxiety and tension in your relationships with family members, children and colleagues • How you can use this information to benefit your business or home life, or to pick the right kind of clothing, job and home and create a more harmonious and satisfying lifeAbout the Guest Prof. Winnie DunnDr. Dunn is Professor and Chair of the Department of Occupational Therapy Education at the University of Kansas. A member of the Academy of Research for the American Occupational Therapy Foundation, she is an internationally known expert for her studies about sensory processing in everyday life. She has published more than 100 research articles, book chapters and books, and has spoken around the world about her work, and is the author/ coauthor of all of the Sensory Profile measures, which capture people’s responses to sensory events in everyday life; these assessments have been translated into dozens of languages and are used for both professional practice and in research programs.Her eye-opening book Living Sensationally – Understanding Your Senses, has been featured in several magazines including Time magazine, Cosmopolitan, The London Times newspaper, and on Canadian Public Radio: http://www.kumc.edu/school-of-health-professions/occupational-therapy-education.html
