The article contributes to conceptual studies of information behaviour research by examining the conceptualisations of information seeking and related terms such as information search and browsing.
Researchers repeatedly discovered primary pharmaceutical contaminants, their metabolites, and transformation products in aquatic ecosystems. Body metabolism may not convert consumed pharmaceuticals to their metabolic elements before excretion. In this case, clinical and industrial wastes ensure their presence in the environment. Nevertheless, conventional wastewater treatment methods are ineffective for removing pharmaceutical wastes. Once in the ecosystem, they alter the physiological response of nontarget exposed aquatic and even terrestrial organisms due to induced toxicity.
Research is a logical and systematic search for new and useful information on a particular topic. Research is important both in scientific and nonscientific fields. In our life new problems, events, phenomena and processes occur every day. Practically, implementable solutions and suggestions are required for tackling new problems that arise. Scientists have to undertake research on them and find their causes, solutions, explanations and applications.
Marius Wehner und Lynn Schmodde von der Wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf berichten von ihrer Forschung zu Learning Analytics. Im Verbundprojekt LADi haben sie Diskriminierungspotenziale und Bias in den Algorithmen untersucht sowie die Wahrnehmung der Lernenden von Beurteilungen durch Learning Analytics. Interviewer in Folge 11 des DINItus Podcasts ist Erik Reidt vom ZIM/Multimediazentrum der HHU Düsseldorf.
