Implementing and evaluating a project to enable and encourage Caribbean data-sharing.

The CaribData project, funded by the Inter-American Development Bank and implemented by The University of the West Indies, aims to enhance data-handling, -sharing and reuse capabilities in the Caribbean. The project focuses on four main objectives: developing an online data-handling platform, creating a sustainable training and mentoring program, launching a data communication initiative and conducting data availability audits. To evaluate its progress, CaribData integrates two implementation science frameworks, RE-AIM (for Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research.

The silent barrier: exploring data availability in Small Island Developing States.

Objective: To quantify three aspects of data-related developmental progress across 57 Small Island Developing States (SIDS) recognized by the United Nations: statistical capacity measured using the Statistical Performance Indicators (SPI), data availability using the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicators, and gender-stratified indicators.

Methods: SIDS as a single country group were compared with other World Bank regions, using SPI, availability of SDG metrics, and availability of gender-stratified metrics. Using population size as a proxy for "smallness," its association with data capacity and availability was modeled.

Islands of data: cultivating an open data landscape for sustainable development in the Caribbean.

The widespread digitization of information, advances in data processing and the emergence of internet-connected devices have led to a proliferation of data, often loosely referred to as big data. With this digital transformation, offering open data - that is, data freely available for modification and reuse - has emerged as a key strategy for encouraging transparency and innovation. Data reuse holds particular importance in the small island developing states of the Caribbean, which have a limited resource pool from which to tackle the landscape of social priorities.

Caribbean data-sharing initiatives: activities of the Eastern Caribbean Health Outcomes Research Network.

The dissemination of biomedical research data beyond academia remains limited. In response, funding agencies now regularly require that the projects they fund make research data openly available for reuse. This emerging open data movement aims to democratize data access, often guided by the FAIR data technical standards, requiring that data should be findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable.

Effect of Concentration of TiO Nanoparticles on Thiadiazole Derivative and Their Molecular Docking Study.

In the present work, we report the synthesis of TiO nanoparticles by hydrothermal method using titanium isopropoxide. The synthesized TiO nanoparticles were investigated by Powder X-ray diffraction, FE-SEM with EDX, Photoluminescence, UV-Visible absorption and Fluorescence emission spectroscopy. Fluorescence intensity and absorption values of 4-[5-(2,5-Dimethyl-pyrrol-1-yl)-[1,3,4]thiadiazol-2-ylsulfanylmethyl]-6-methoxy-chromen-2-one (DTYMC) molecule decreases with adding the concentration of TiO nanoparticles.
