  1. Climate change is a world-wide threat to biodiversity and ecosystem structure, functioning and services. To understand the underlying drivers and mechanisms, and to predict the consequences for nature and people, we urgently need better understanding of the direction and magnitude of climate change impacts across the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum. An increasing number of climate change studies are creating new opportunities for meaningful and high-quality generalizations and improved process understanding. However, significant challenges exist related to data availability and/or compatibility across studies, compromising opportunities for data re-use, synthesis and upscaling. Many of these challenges relate to a lack of an established ‘best practice’ for measuring key impacts and responses. This restrains our current understanding of complex processes and mechanisms in terrestrial ecosystems related to climate change. 2. To overcome these challenges, we collected best-practice methods emerging from major ecological research networks and experiments, as synthesized by 115 experts from across a wide range of scientific disciplines. Our handbook contains guidance on the selection of response variables for different purposes, protocols for standardized measurements of 66 such response variables and advice on data management. Specifically, we recommend a minimum subset of variables that should be collected in all climate change studies to allow data re-use and synthesis, and give guidance on additional variables critical for different types of synthesis and upscaling. The goal of this community effort is to facilitate awareness of the importance and broader application of standardized methods to promote data re-use, availability, compatibility and transparency. We envision improved research practices that will increase returns on investments in individual research projects, facilitate second-order research outputs and create opportunities for collaboration across scientific communities. Ultimately, this should significantly improve the quality and impact of the science, which is required to fulfil society's best practice, coordinated experiments, data management and documentation, ecosystem, experimental macroecology, methodology, open science, vegetation

  Abstract Organophosphorus (OP) insecticides inhibit cholinesterase activity, an essential process in the nervous system of most animals. Re-establishment of active enzymes is slow and depends on elimination of the insecticide from the body followed by two lengthy processes: Reactivation and/or biosynthesis of new enzymes. Earthworms (Eisenia fetida) were exposed to either clean or chlorpyrifos-containing (240 mg/kg) soil for 48 h. After transfer to clean soil, we monitored two cholinesterases (E1 and E2) and chlorpyrifos content of the earthworms for 12 weeks. After 14 to 21 d of recovery, the exposed and control worms were indistinguishable in terms of appearance and behavior. Chemical analysis showed a rapid elimination of chlorpyrifos from the earthworms, with only minor levels detected after one week. The activities of E1 and E2 were measured spectrophotometrically in whole specimen homogenates using acetylthiocholine as the substrate. Carbaryl, which selectively inhibits E1, was used to discriminate the enzyme activities. Mean +/- standard error of mean of E1 and E2 activity in the controls immediately after exposure were 1.57 +/- 0.18 nanokatal (nkat)/mg protein (n = 3) and 0.95 +/- 0.07 nkat/mg protein, respectively, and 0.48 +/- 0.07 nkat/mg and 0.45 +/- 0.06 nkat/mg, respectively, in exposed worms. After three weeks, E1 had regained an activity comparable to the controls, whereas E2 remained depressed throughout the 12-week monitoring period. The non- or late recovery of E2 makes this enzyme a potential biomarker candidate for previous OP insecticide exposure in Eisenia fetida, provided the protocol for measurements is improved and standarized.

  Studenter som utdannes ved universiteter og høyskoler i dag, skal stå rustet til å være samfunnets problemløsere inn i en framtid i stadig forandring. Det krever ikke bare at vi utdanner kandidater til et høyt faglig og spesialisert nivå, men også at de samtidig får støtte til å utvikle en trygg bredde og rolleforståelse som profesjonelle yrkesutøvere og dermed legger et individuelt grunnlag for videre utvikling gjennom hele yrkeskarrieren. Det matematiske-naturvitenskapelige fakultetet, Universitetet i Oslo har redesignet sine studieprogram under den pedagogiske fanen InterAct, og høsten 2018 ble 23 ny-strukturerte masterprogram lansert. I utformingen av disse nye programmene har det vært et sentralt premiss at tverrfaglighet og generiske profesjonelle ferdigheter skulle få en tydelig og integrert plass gjennom hele studieløpet. Dette premisset har re-aktualisert behovet for forskingsbibliotekets aktive tilstedeværelse integrert i studieløpet for å dekke forskjellige tema innen informasjonskompetanse, forskeretikk og vitenskapelig kommunikasjon. Realfagsbiblioteket har et godt samarbeidet med fakultet og instituttene om utvikling av nye undervisningsmodeller for å dekke behovene tilpasset ulike fag. Presentasjonen vil gi et innblikk i pilotprosjektet ved Det matematiske-naturvitenskapelige fakultet med en ny kurspakke for masterstudenter i form av felles seminardager med jevne mellomrom over hele deres to-årige masterstudieløp. På seminardagene møter studentene stoffet i form av tematiske moduler og en blanding av plenumsundervisning, gjesteforelesninger, demonstrasjon, gruppediskusjon, parallell-sesjoner og workshoper der studentene jobber med konkrete oppgaver og mål knyttet til egen masteroppgave. Rammen for seminardagene er enkel og modulene kan lett flyttes rundt eller byttes ut ved behov. Den overordnede målsetning er likevel at studentene i størst mulig grad skal stimuleres og støttes i sin individuelle utvikling av profesjonell kompetanse i tilknytning til sin egen faglige kontekst. Piloten kjøres i første omgang for studieprogrammene Kjemi og Materialvitenskap, og Geofag. Seminarserien tilbys halvveis i det toårige masterløpet. Flere andre studieprogram arbeider mot tilsvarende fagtilpassede modulpakker. Grunnramme og premisser for modulpakken, bærende pedagogiske prinsipper og metoder blir beskrevet i presentasjonen. Sammendrag av innholdet, samt erfaringene og studentenes tilbakemeldinger blir også adressert.

  The Bologna Accord, launched with the Bologna Declaration, of 1999, is a voluntary higher education reform agreement at European level - now adopted by 48 European and extra-European countries - that nowadays define the European Higher Education Area. The reform implies increased awareness across the higher education sector of transferable skills and professional competencies. Among the challenges faced is the need to design new learning arenas that can support students in developing such skills and competencies, including collaboration skills, scientific writing, finding, evaluating and using relevant literature, and developing an understanding of their own research progress and workflow. It is advocated that the learning of transferable skills and professional competencies should be integrated with subject specific learning, and that this calls for collaboration within the university community. At the University of Oslo, the Science Library, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is forging teaching partnerships with the faculty staff at the various departments. Subject librarians with an academic background from the different disciplines at the Science Library participate in the teaching of students at all levels, from introductory courses through post-graduate studies, being (partly) responsible for the learning outcomes of transferable skills expected from single courses and study programs. The teaching portfolio of the librarians also includes the training of students in how to perform outreach activities, e. g. how to communicate bioscience and mycology topics to professionals, experts from other disciplines, and the general public. We report here on some specific initiatives that illustrate both benefits and challenges of such partnerships, with examples from collaborations between the Department of Biosciences and the Science Library at the University of Oslo.

  As the Life Science City in Oslo rises, we want to develop our role as embedded research supporters. We are looking into how to better connect people with the knowledge contained in both documents and in people. This is a big project that will have to evolve over years - as for now we focus on a concrete pilot project of using our thesaurus Realfagstermer (Science Subject Terms) to align concepts and competencies in research groups.

These include to publish scientific results, efficiently navigate different sources of information and literature, and to understand how measurements of scientific impact may affect funding and career opportunities. The students may also encounter ethical dilemmas, such as handling different co-author practices, disagreements on publication channels, and open access publishing. In a collaborative effort five Scandinavian research and university libraries have developed the free online resource PhD on Track, to help address these skills and knowledge needs of PhD students. The resource is primarily aimed at inexperienced PhD students, but may also prove valuable to more experienced researchers. In our poster we present the different elements of PhD on Track, highlight some of its potential uses and point to discussions of libraries as legitimate actors in PhD students’ research and learning. We value input from the research communities in an effort to include more specific resources and topics targeted at the biochemical and biological researchers, e.g. about research data repositories, and funding in cross-disciplinary framework programs. The www.phdontrack.net site was launched in 2013 and is already used as a resource in 7 countries. It is built on the results of an empirical study of PhD candidates practices and experienced challenges (Gullbekk et al 2012), conceived as part of the collaborative project “Information Management for Knowledge Creation” funded by the Norwegian National Library.

  Abstract: Organophosphorus (OP) insecticides cause irreversible inhibition of cholinesterase (ChE) activity. ChE are essential enzymes in the nervous system of almost all animals. Reestablishment of active enzymes is slow and depends on elimination of the insecticide from the body, followed by two lengthy processes: reactivation and/or biosynthesis of new enzyme molecules. The results presented here demonstrate that recovery of the activity of one of the cholinesterases (E2) in the earthworm Eisenia fetida (Savigny) is virtually absent after acute exposure to the OP insecticide chlorpyriphos, while another cholinesterase (E1) slowly re-establishes its activity. Chemical analysis showed that the elimination of chlorpyrifos from the body of earthworms was quite rapid and the oxygen analogue (chlorpyriphos-oxon) was not detected in any of the samples. The activity of the two cholinesterases was discriminated by selective inhibition with carbaryl (5 µM in one minute), which inhibits E1 completely, without influencing the activity of E2. Earthworms were exposed to chlorpyrifos (240 mg kg-1) in soil for 48 hours and were subsequently transferred to clean soil in three independent replicates. Controls were kept under similar conditions, and were not subject to chlorpyrifos treatment. After 7-14 days of recovery, the appearance and behavior of the exposed worms were indistinguishable from that of the control worms. The chlorpyrifos content of the worms was determined by gas-liquid chromatography. It disappeared almost completely in a first-order elimination rate during seven days with a half-life of approximately 24 hours. The activities of E1 and E2 were measured spectrophotometrically in homogenates from whole specimens at regular intervals for 12 weeks by using acetylthiocholine as substrate. Immediately after exposure, the E1 and E2 activity were 0.479 ± 0.074 nkat/mg protein (mean ± SEM, n=3) and 0.45 ± 0.06 nkat/mg respectively, compared to control values of 1.57 ± 0.178 nkat/mg and 0.951 ± 0.07 nkat/mg, respectively. After three weeks E1 had regained activity comparable with the activity in controls, whereas E2 stayed low throughout the 12 week monitoring period. It was therefore concluded that there is no reactivation or de novo biosynthesis of E2 whereas E1 is slowly reactivated. The non-recovery of E2 suggests that historically exposed earthworms have low levels of E2 even when OP insecticides can no longer be traced in their body. Provided a reproducible base-line for E2 control activity in is established, the E2 level could be considered as a tool to detect previous episodes of exposure to OP pesticides or warfare agents in earthworms.

  Abstract: The earthworm Eisenia fetida was exposed to various concentrations of mercury in a well-characterized agricultural soil obtained from a local field (Ås, Norway), and the effects on survival, reproduction and glutathione levels were recorded. Internal concentrations of mercury were also measured. For each treatment, four replicates containing groups of five or ten clitellate earthworms were used. Mercury was added to soil in the form of mercuric chloride (HgCl2). Repropduction (cocoon production) was arrested in intermediate and high concentrations after four weeks (EC50 for reproduction was approximately 7.4 mg Hg/kg soil). Glutathione (a non-protein thiol) was analyzed by standard spectrophotometric methods. Earthworms exposed to mercury (22 to 740 mg Hg/kg soil for four weeks) experienced a threefold increase in glutathione levels from background levels of approximately 0.62 µmol/g earthworm wet weight. Pre-exposure to a non-toxic mercury concentration (22 mg/kg soil for one week) strongly increased survival in a subsequent standard test carried out one week after the termination of pre-exposure. Calculated LC50–values for pre-exposed and non pre-exposed worms were 545 and 170 mg Hg/kg soil, respectively. The difference in cocoon production between pre-exposed and non pre-exposed worms was small, but significant (t-test, p<0.05). Mercury exposure increased glutathione levels in a concentration-related manner, but at a similar rate in pre-exposed and non pre-exposed earthworms, suggesting that the increased tolerance was not caused by the GSH increase. Internal concentrations of mercury followed a one-site binding hyperbola reaching a maximum at 139 + 9 and 165 + 16 µg Hg/g earthworm wet weight in two independent experiments. The shape of the accumulation curves suggested that glutathione levels in earthworms were closely related to internal mercury concentrations. Keewords: Hormesis, mercury, earthworm, glutathione,
