Im Projekt LipoBiocat („Robuste und selektive lipolytische Biokatalysatoren für industrielle Anwendungen“) forschen Mikrobiologen, organische Chemiker, Strukturbiologen und Bioinformatiker an Biokatalysatoren zur Herstellung von Feinchemikalien und Polymeren. Enzyme sind solche Biokatalysatoren, die zahlreiche Reaktionen beschleunigen oder erst ermöglichen. In der Natur arbeiten sie allerdings in lebenden Zellen und damit bei vergleichsweise milden Reaktionsbedingungen, während in industriellen Prozessen harschere Bedingungen vorherrschen.

Résumé (en français):

BKC faculty associate Jennifer Jenkins on the differences between European and US copyright law when it comes to the rights of musicians:

evelyn douek reviews a recent white paper from Facebook on online content moderation.

“Regulation is coming, and almost everyone—including Facebook—now seems to accept this is a good thing,” says douek. “But two wrongs do not make a right, and regulators themselves should not move fast and break things. The questions and concerns that Facebook raises in this white paper are real and difficult, and regulators should take them seriously.”

Elizabeth Renieris weighed in on why we should not celebrate Google's move to remove third-party cookies from Chrome.

“They’re not really changing underlying tactics [of how they track us], they’re just channeling it all through Google,” Renieris said. “How privacy-preserving is this, actually? What’s Google’s motivation for doing this? Is it to preserve privacy? Potentially, but probably not.”

Based on the information available today, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) estimates the health risk in Germany to be low to moderate. However, as a preventive measure the management of HHU recommends that persons returning from a trip to China remain at home for a period of 14 days – and work from there if necessary. In any case, anyone suffering from an infectious, flu-like, disease should stay at home and refrain from coming to HHU.

Bei einem Patienten war die Infektion bereits vor der Verlegung nach Düsseldorf bestätigt. Bei der zweiten Person aus dem engen persönlichen Umfeld des Patienten liegt nun auch ein positives Testergebnis vor. Das UKD steht über den Verlauf der Erkrankungen im engen Kontakt mit den Gesundheitsbehörden und Ministerien, die auch zu Neuigkeiten in Bezug auf diesen Erreger informieren.

Das Robert-Koch-Institut (RKI) schätzt die Gefahr für die Gesundheit der Bevölkerung in Deutschland auch nach den heute vorliegenden Informationen als gering bis mäßig ein. Dennoch empfiehlt die Hochschulleitung vorsorglich, dass alle Personen nach einer kürzlich angetretenen Chinareise für 14 Tage zuhause bleiben – und etwaige dienstliche Aufgaben wenn möglich von dort aus wahrnehmen. Grundsätzlich sollten alle, bei denen eine ansteckende grippeähnliche Erkrankung vorliegt, davon absehen, zur Universität zu kommen.

I’d like to share with you the English translation of our position paper Disintossichiamoci–Sapere per il Futuro, published a week ago on the largest academic discussion website in Italy, that quikly exceeded 1000 subscriptions from all areas of the country and from all disciplines. Also some foreign colleagues gave us their valuable support. It is very encouraging and allows us to aim high.
