Calls are being made for traffic-calming measures to be trialled at Blake's Corner in Ennistymon as a matter of urgency. A Judicial review initiated in 2022 has stalled the construction of a relief road bridge 80m upstream that would bypass the junction. The situation has been compounded as the protected status of the Linnane's and Blakes buildings means the infamous gap on the tight turn cannot be filled, nor can the adjacent pavement be resurfaced. North Clare Fine Gael Councillor Joe Garrihy says potential solutions such as a one-way system and erecting a traffic display mirror must be tested.

They'll start out in four large hospitals in July and the scheme will be rolled out across the country, if proven successful. The Minister for Mental Health, Matt Doocey, says it's clear that the Peer Support workforce needs to be scaled up. "What we want to do is roll out this new service. It is untested, we want to build the evidence in it." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the UK, about 1 in 4 adults are affected by obesity, which is linked to diabetes, heart disease and some cancers. But recently a new study has documented the effect of giving a drug called semaglutide to 2000 people over a 1 year period. The drug mimics a gut hormone called GLP-1 to boost insulin levels and it's already used to treat diabetes. The study subjects lost an average of 15kg on the drug, suggesting that it might be an effective way to support weight loss.

An Auckland paediatrician is relieved that a promising new coronavirus vaccine will be tested on teens and children. There are two vaccine candidates now offering hope, one made by Pfizer and the other by Moderna. On Tuesday Moderna announced that preliminary data from the phase three trial of its coronavirus vaccine suggests it is 94.5 percent effective in preventing Covid-19. Dr Jin Russell - a paediatrician at Starship Children's Hospital - says it's important to include teens and children in any vaccination programme, especially given the nature of multigenerational households within Aotearoa.
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) − Melrose Arch-based mining technology company Dwyka Mining Services has conducted what it believes is the first Autonomy Level 2 (AL2) flight in South Africa, using a new drone-mounted light detection and ranging (Lidar) technology payload − Hovermap. The Hovermap payload is developed by Brisbane, Australia-based drone autonomy company Emesent. It links through a drone’s autonomous flying programme to assist with collision avoidance, obstacle identification and tracking, as well as area scanning and mapping using Lidar as its primary digital eye. As such, Hovermap can be used to guide and position drones in areas with no GPS signal, such as underground mines, warehouses and under bridges. “This enables us to map the inaccessible,” says Dwyka Mining Services CEO Jamie van Schoor. He tells Mining Weekly that, although the company cannot take credit for being the first operator to use the Hovermap and AL2 systems in Africa − it was previously used in an underground gold mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo − it has successfully trialled the technology near one of its satellite offices in Lanseria. In terms of the technology's adoption in the underground mining industry, Van Schoor says mines can make use of Hovermap to increase the ease and safety of mapping difficult-to-reach areas, as well as scanning dangerous areas and caverns. “Mines are characteristically focused on making environments safer and enhancing workflows, improving efficiencies.” In addition, he says that, in terms of scanning, obtaining underground visualisation is a key part of adopting digitalisation, which is a journey many of Dwyka Mining Services’ clients are going on. “Visualisation is a huge part of going the digital path.” “The GPS-denied Lidar capability of the Emesent technology is certainly giving a lot more coverage and an incredible amount of detail in high-resolution scanning capability. It produces 300 000 points a second and, in doing so, is giving a huge picture that was previously not possible to paint,” says Van Schoor.

A new step forward in policing has taken to Canterbury skies.The Eagle helicopter is being trialled for five weeks during which time it'll target fleeing drivers, become a swifter response to call outs and be available for deployment around the South Island.Police Minister Stuart Nash says it's 21st century policing."As our roads become more congested, as our bad guys become badder, as they use more powerful tools, we need to keep pace."It's the first time one's been based in the South Island.Police Commissioner Mike Bush told Chris Lynch the rising number of fatal police pursuits was one of the driving factors behind the trial."Your not going to get away; regardless of whether its minutes, hours or days, you will be held to account."He says the success of the trial will be judged by a number of criteria."That's how much crime we actually prevent, how many incidents they respond to, how many people we support in the apprehension, but mostly how effective it is for our staff on the ground and the communities we're here to serve."

New Trialled and Tested podcast looks at improving Social and Emotional Learning. Effective social and emotional learning (SEL) can increase positive pupil behaviour, mental health and well-being, and academic performance. Indeed, evidence from the EEF’s Teaching and Learning Toolkit suggests that effective SEL can lead to learning gains of +4 months over the course of a year. However, despite being seen as one of their top priorities by almost all primary schools, only just over one-third say that dedicated planning for SEL is central to their practice. The recent EEF guidance report, Improving Social and Emotional Learning in Primary Schools, reviewed the best available research and offered school leaders six practical recommendations to support good SEL for all children. In this episode of our podcast series, Trialled and Tested, EBE’s Jamie Scott speaks to Jean Gross CBE, one of the authors of the guidance report, Liz Robinson, who sat on the advisory panel, and headteacher Mari Palmer for her views on implementing SEL strategies. Although the guidance is aimed at Primary Schools, both the guidance and the podcast is just as relevant to parents of young children. ‘Trialled and Tested’ is produced in partnership with the Education Endowment Foundation.

In this episode of the Trialled and Tested podcast we explore working memory and its importance to teaching and learning; what it is, why it’s important for teachers to know about it and how an understanding of working memory can inform the way teachers teach. Working memory is the ability to hold and manipulate information in your mind while you use it to finish a task. For example, this could be how many numbers you can keep in your mind at the same time to complete a mental arithmetic task. Research has suggested that working memory is a reliable predictor of numeracy outcomes. But why is it important to learning? What do teachers need to know about it and how can they attend to it in their daily working practices? In this podcast, we hear from a psychologist and leading expert, Dr Tracy Alloway, as well as conversation with Alex Quigley from the EEF and Julie Watson from Huntington Research School. You can read about the Education Endowment Trust's project focused on improving working memory for pupils age seven and eight here. For more podcasts, be sure to check out our podcast archive. We also have a collection of eBooks, videos and webinars in our Resource Library, which is free to join!

“Teaching should start from where the student is, not from where we would like them to be." says education professor Dylan Wiliam in this episode of Trialled and Tested, introducing how formative assessment strategies can be used in the classroom. He’s the co-developer of a professional development programme, Embedding Formative Assessment, which supports teachers to use real-time knowledge of their pupils’ strengths and weaknesses to adapt their practice. An independent evaluation funded by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) recently found that pupils in schools following the programme made the equivalent of +2 months’ additional progress in their Attainment 8 GCSE score.

For the next two weeks our listeners will be setting the agenda on The Tennis Podcast as Catherine Whitaker and David Law take part in a couple of Q&A episodes. This week’s questions have been chosen by guest editor Keturah Anderssen-Chivers:· Are players damaging their chances of progressing in Grand Slams by regularly requesting on-court coaching on the WTA Tour? (01:09) · Is it better for the sport to have four outstanding players who dominate, or have a range of players competing more evenly? (14:25)· Is it unfair for a top player to enter 250 events - where they are likely to dominate - just so they can hit milestones? (20:31)· Which new rule changes should be trialled at this year’s Next Gen Finals? (24:30)· What are the pros and cons of working at tennis tournaments as journalists rather than attending as fans? (30:05)· Who are the best players aged 25 and above not to have won a Grand Slam title? And will they win one? (35:55)· Which players have had the most disappointing start to 2019? (39:45)The Tennis Podcast will be released weekly throughout the year and daily at all four Grand Slam tournaments, courtesy of our Kickstarter backers. It is produced in association with The Telegraph. *** SOCIAL MEDIA ***Instagram - http://po.st/TTP_InstagramTwitter - http://po.st/TTP_TwitterFacebook - http://po.st/TTP_Facebook *** NEWSLETTER ***Sign-up here to receive our weekly newsletter - http://po.st/TTP_Newsletter See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode of the Trialled and Tested podcast, 'Efficacy, evidence and evaluation', Jamie Scott from Evidence Based Education speaks to Eleanor Stringer and Matthew van Poortvliet from the Education Endowment Foundation to find out more about their approach to identifying projects to fund, scaling-up promising projects and running evaluations. Here’s a full account of the questions put to Eleanor and Matthew: 2:02 - What does the EEF look for when considering which projects to fund? 3:15 - How much initial evidence do you need to get EEF funding for a project? 3:58 - What are the different stages of the EEF evaluation pipeline? And why and how might you scale-up a project from efficacy to effectiveness? 6:45 - Examples of scale-up projects 9:20 - Are EEF evaluation projects typically coming out of academic institutions or schools? 11:19 - Why have some trials been re-trialled? 14:08 - How does the evidence behind the ‘Embedding Formative Assessment’ project differ from other professional development programmes that might not have been trialled? 16:41 - How does the EEF respond to criticism of the approach to project evaluation, especially a perceived preference for randomised controlled trial designs? 21:55 - Some EEF trials have found results that conflict with previously-published findings – does this point to a replication problem in education research? 24:43 - How has the work the EEF has done since its inception improved the scientific endeavour of evaluation? 26:33 - What do you hope is the lasting impact of EEF project evaluations? 28:09 - Why are certain approaches or strategies not included in the EEF toolkit, despite there being strong evidence behind them?

We’ve teamed up with the Education Endowment Foundation to bring you a new podcast – Trialled and Tested! This first episode is on metacognition and self-regulated learning. We'll post this inaugural episode on the EBE podcast too, but to make sure you have access to future episodes, do search for Trialled and Tested in iTunes, Spotify or Google Store and make sure you subscribe there. In this first episode, and in future episodes, we’re going to explore a specific piece of information or guidance within the EEF suite of resources and try to bring that to life through discussion with others. In addition, we’ll be providing brief updates from the network of Research Schools around England, to find out what they’re doing to support the use of evidence to improve teaching practice. In this first episode, EBE’s own Jamie Scott talks to Alex Quigley and Megan Dixon to ask what is metacognition and self-regulation and how can approaches be implemented in the classroom? In addition we hear from Caroline Creaby and Roger Higgins from Sandringham and Norwich Research Schools. Alex Quigley: Start to 26:55 Megan Dixon: 26:55 to 37:52 Caroline Creaby and Roger Higgins: 37:52 to end If you enjoy this podcast you might also like this podcast where EBE Director of Education Stuart Kime talks to Robert and Elizabeth Bjork about their work on desirable difficulties

Dr Vuoristo talks to ecancertv at SIOG 2014 about the trial of a new colorectal screening method which can be done at home.
Dr Han speaks with ecancertv at SABCS 2016 about the outcomes from a trial of added velaparib to chemotherapy for BRCA1/2 mutant metastatic breast cancers. Compared to carboplatin and paclitaxel, she describes the addition of velaparib as extending progression free survival, though not to a statistically significant extent, with no additional toxicity.
It has been announced by the government that driverless cars will be trialled on the roads of the UK by January 2015. The Ministry for Transport has invited cities to compete to host one of 3 trials. But the UK aren't the first to allow testing on public roads- California, Nevada and Florida have all approved tests of the vehicles, and in 2013, Nissan carried out Japan's first public road test of an autonomous vehicle on a highway.

Dr Ring talks to ecancertv at SABCS 2013 about the 'Add-aspirin trial'. This is a phase III double-blind placebo-controlled randomized trial assessing the addition of aspirin after standard primary therapy in breast cancer and other early stage common solid tumours. The primary outcome will be disease-free survival. Secondary endpoints include overall survival, toxicity, cardiac morbidity and assessment of overall healthcare benefits. Translational work will investigate mechanisms of action and biomarkers for toxicity and treatment efficacy (including PIK3CA mutation status and COX-2 expression). Approximately 3100 patients will be needed to test for a 4% improvement in disease free survival associated with aspirin use.
