ERC projects are expected to introduce significant high gain to the scientific ecosystem (and beyond). Such “high-gain” essentially means that the impact of the project should not be limited to the specific, tangible and direct outcomes of the project. Instead, it is also assessed in view of what would be possible beyond the scope of the project, based on breakthroughs achieved by the project. For this reason, ERC proposals should be seen as “open-ended” research projects. Since this far-sighted approach is not a common expectation in most funding schemes, its meaning and implications are often elusive to researchers aiming to acquire ERC funding. In this present article, we’ll define the open-ended nature of ERC, and suggest ways to implement and assess this when establishing your ERC project proposal.

While, in recent years, scientists have gained ground on understanding the neurology of gambling behavior and the development of compulsion regarding these activities, there are still no effective treatments when dealing with these disorders. In 2013, the National Center for Responsible Gaming labeled Yale University a Center of Excellence in Gambling Research (Yale Gambling CORE) and funded the institution to study gambling disorders. The project sought to investigate these problems by applying interdisciplinary research integrating clinical, epidemiological, psychopharmacological, behavioral, prevention, genetic, and neuroimaging approaches. The team, led by Dr. Marc Potenza, professor of psychiatry, child study, and neurobiology, examined the emotional and motivational factors that impact the development of gambling disorders in women and men and the role of stress in fueling gambling urges. The project took advantage of an interactive approach, exploiting various resources at Yale University, including collaborations with external investigators, regional and national advocacy, treatment and prevention agencies, and the utilization of publicly available information. As referenced in this article regarding the neurology of pathological gamblers, to date, there is no FDA-approved treatment for gambling disorders. Placebo-controlled trials have investigated pharmacological and behavioral therapy, which have received empirical support as short-term treatment options. However, in separate randomized clinical trials, opioid antagonists (nalmefene and naltrexone) have proven superior. Thus, CORE investigators emphasized naltrexone, exploring its effectiveness in a clinical setting. Research has shown neural activity connected to most kinds of human addictions. The team also sought to test medications as possible treatment and to understand their effectiveness via neuroimaging technology. The goal was to discover if the problem is hardwired and if such wiring can get fixed. Understanding the neurology of this compulsion will undoubtedly lead to more successful future treatments. Below, what follows are Yale's Gambling CORE studies and papers related to gambling neurology. Materials, which have been debated at conferences and outreach events and disseminated through peer-reviewed publications.

This paper analyses a study done by the authors of this paper on changes on gender role as a factor in gender participation and empowerment in the oil mining industry; a case of Lokichar in Turkana County. The paper centres on three null hypothesis tested. The studies target group was the active labour force aged between 15 to 64 years. Those who retired from work were also targeted. The data was collected from a sample of three hundred (300) respondents selected through systematic random and purposive sampling methods. Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and in-depth interviews were conducted to supplement the questionnaires given to the sampled respondents. Chi-square was used to test the hypotheses. Major findings indicate that there is a relationship between equal hiring and equal opportunity for men and women to work in mining activities; there is relationship between involvement in oil mining activities and change in livelihood and there is no relationship between involvement in oil mining activities and equal opportunity for men and women to work in mining activities. Key recommendation include gender mainstreaming in legal frameworks, policies, Bills and programs.
