This handbook was written and edited by a group of about 40 collaborators in a series of six book sprints that took place between 1 and 10 June 2021. It aims to support higher education institutions with the practical implementation of content relating to the FAIR principles in their curricula, while also aiding teaching by providing practical material, such as competence profiles, learning outcomes, lesson plans, and supporting information. It incorporates community feedback received during the public consultation which ran from 27 July to 12 September 2021.

Englische Version: This study investigates barriers to research data publication in Learning Analytics (LA) through a mixed-method approach encompassing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), semi-structured interviews, a global survey, and adaptive workshops. The SLR establishes a foundation by identifying legal, ethical, and resource-related barriers to data publication across disciplines. Findings from the SLR integrate in the subsequent interviews, which reveal cultural and institutional nuances affecting researchers' motivations and capabilities for data sharing. A global survey uncovers a discrepancy between researchers' willingness to share data and their perceived benefits from accessing others' data, highlighting trust issues within the scientific community despite growing support for open data. Adaptive workshops underscore the gap between researchers' recognition of data sharing importance and their practical ability to implement it, with data protection concerns, particularly related to GDPR compliance, emerging as major barriers alongside fears of losing data control. The findings from this study illustrate how barriers to data publication vary by discipline and region, being deeply embedded within cultural and institutional frameworks.

A complex and absorbing crime novel which finds Sasza Zaluska, the profiler and former undercover cop first encountered in Girl at Midnight, plunged even deeper into the web of corruption and criminality that has engulfed all levels of Polish society since the fall of Communism. Sasza decides to return to the police, but first she must ensure the safety of her daughter by putting to rest the demons evoked by terrifying ordeal which led her to leave Poland for seven years in England. No sooner has she begun the process, however, than she is drawn into the deeply disturbing case of a woman who has disappeared from a village - and she is not the first to do so. The roots of the crime seem to reach all the way back to the dark enmities of the second world war.
