1. Progressive pedagogies for innovation among art, science and technology : the case of mastmodule.euPeter Purg, N. Castillo-Rutz, Sergi Bermúdez i Badia, C. Csíkszentmihályi, Jurij V. Krpan, F. Hedeer, D. L. Sousa, Klemen Širok, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: Even if aiming at technical innovation, an interdisciplinary curriculum can and should include social
values. The Master Module in Art, Science and Technology project attempted to do so by developing
the innovation catalyst profile, a graduate who critically reflects on the creation process by combining
art thinking and design thinking. Within a pilot of the MAST module students from three universities
responded to timely challenges such as ‘The Future of Work’ and ‘Solidarity,’ through which the project
staff tested progressive pedagogical solutions like cross-disciplinary mentoring and situated knowledge
sharing. Introducing European social values in both artistic and technical education, the article presents
models, experiments and inspirations discussed against discursive analysis and course evaluation data.
In order to support not only inclusive but also sustainable teaching and learning approaches, novel
methods and tools may become daringly innovative as well as critical of both their pedagogical and
the wider social setting. Keywords: art thinking, curriculum design, social values, innovation catalyst, design thinking Published in RUNG: 27.06.2022; Views: 2809; Downloads: 30 Link to full text This document has many files! More... |
2. Cross-sector Innovation Transfer : MAST Business PlanAndreja Lapuh Maležič, Jurij Krpan, Simon Gmajner, Peter Purg, Nayari Castillo Rutz, Sergi Bermudez di Badia, Dejan Kaligaro, Lea Mohorič, treatise, preliminary study, study Abstract: The economic analysis showed that the MAST project is justified and represents added value for all users, the financial feasibility of carrying out the MAST project as such was confirmed. The set business model of the MAST project was proved to be sustainable in the long run, as the project from 2022 onwards shows considerable self-sustainability. Not only during its implementation but also at its finish the project may be estimated low-risk also for its possible future developments, as it clearly promotes an innovative idea and features a clear business model based on a professional team in capacity to face all the challenges and risks.

6. Mineral element composition in grain of awned and awnletted wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars tissue-specific iron speciation and phytate and non-phytate ligand ratioPaula Pongrac, Iztok Arčon, Hiram Castillo Michel, Katarina Vogel-Mikuš, 2020, original scientific article Abstract: In wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), the awns—the bristle-like structures extending from
lemmas—are photosynthetically active. Compared to awned cultivars, awnletted cultivars produce
more grains per unit area and per spike, resulting in significant reduction in grain size, but their
mineral element composition remains unstudied. Nine awned and 11 awnletted cultivars were
grown simultaneously in the field. With no difference in 1000-grain weight, a larger calcium and
manganese—but smaller iron (Fe) concentrations—were found in whole grain of awned than in
awnletted cultivars. Micro X-ray absorption near edge structure analysis of different tissues of
frozen-hydrated grain cross-sections revealed that differences in total Fe concentration were not
accompanied by differences in Fe speciation (64% of Fe existed as ferric and 36% as ferrous species) or
Fe ligands (53% were phytate and 47% were non-phytate ligands). In contrast, there was a distinct
tissue-specificity with pericarp containing the largest proportion (86%) of ferric species and nucellar
projection (49%) the smallest. Phytate ligand was predominant in aleurone, scutellum and embryo
(72%, 70%, and 56%, respectively), while nucellar projection and pericarp contained only non-phytate
ligands. Assuming Fe bioavailability depends on Fe ligands, we conclude that Fe bioavailability from
wheat grain is tissue specific. Keywords: biofortification, phytate, iron, awn, X-ray fluorescence, X-ray absorption spectrometry, phosphorus, sulphur, nicotianamine Published in RUNG: 16.01.2020; Views: 3672; Downloads: 0 This document has many files! More... |

8. Cadmium associates with oxalate in calcium oxalate crystals and competes with calcium for translocation to stems in the cadmium bioindicator Gomphrena clausseniiPaula Pongrac, Tania Serra, Hiram Castillo Michel, Katarina Vogel-Mikuš, Iztok Arčon, Mitja Klemen, Boštjan Jencic, Anja Kavčič, Mina T. Villafort Carvalho, Mark G. M. Aarts, 2018, original scientific article Abstract: Cadmium (Cd) was shown to co-localise with calcium (Ca) in oxalate crystals in the stems and leaves of
Cd tolerant Gomphrena claussenii, but Cd binding remained unresolved. Using synchrotron radiation
X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy we demonstrate that in oxalate crystals of hydroponically
grown G. claussenii the vast majority of Cd is bound to oxygen ligands in oxalate crystals (488%;
Cd–O–C coordination) and the remaining Cd is bound to sulphur ligands (Cd–S–C coordination). Cadmium
binding to oxalate does not depend on the amount of Ca supplied or from which organs the crystals
originate (stems and mature leaves). By contrast, roots contain no oxalate crystals and therein Cd is
bound predominantly by S ligands. The potential to remove Cd by extraction of Cd-rich oxalate crystals
from plant material should be tested in phytoextraction or phytomining strategies. Keywords: Cd XANES, Cd oxalate, Gomphrena claussenii Published in RUNG: 06.09.2018; Views: 4137; Downloads: 0 This document has many files! More... |
