This study presents an in-depth analysis of 69 case studies focusing on the energy retrofit of historic buildings, uncovering challenges, best practices, and lessons learned to balance energy efficiency improvements with heritage preservation. The findings highlight several challenges encountered during renovations, such as complex heritage evaluations, restrictions on alterations, coordination issues with authorities, technical limitations, higher investment costs, and knowledge gaps. On the other hand, identifying factors promoting renovation, including demonstrating energy savings while respecting heritage, early collaboration between planners and authorities, and quantifying investments, could incentivize owners and authorities. The limitations of a still-limited sample size, occasional incomplete data, and potential sample bias call for cautious interpretation of the presented analysis. Despite these, the study provides valuable insights into successful projects, emphasizing the need for scalability, knowledge transfer from innovative policies, and targeted policy-making for successful replication. The study concludes with a call for further development of the HiBERatlas (Historic Building Energy Retrofit atlas), an extensive resource for historic building renovation, expanding its database, collaborating with agencies, and tailoring guidance for stakeholders to foster energy retrofits in heritage buildings.

In order to cope with current disruptive technical and societal transformations, e.g. through digitalization or AI, new competences, commonly called future skills, are indispensable for everyday as well as for professional life. Many organizations, large and small, work on defining a set of future skills. This might imply that future skills are generic and identical across all professions. In contrast, it is a consensus in pedagogical research that generic competences are specifically shaped by the professional environment. Clearly, these two positions contradict each other. But what does this contradiction mean for future skills?
This research rests on the assumption that these context-sensitive generic competences including future skills are developed differently for each occupational field. In order to be able to offer target- and competence-oriented teaching, target competences must be known in the first place, taking into account the specific professional characteristics, currently and in the future.
This paper provides evidence that the initial assumption of context-specific competences is true by collecting and comparing qualitative research data. To do so, qualitative data was collected for different occupations, in particular software engineering and health care.
Our research shows that in fact each profession expresses competences specifically, and this applies to technical as well as non-technical competences. The details of relevant competences need to be identified and characterized as a prerequisite for being able to devise and offer competence-oriented learning approaches.

Arabidopsis contains hundreds of ribosomal DNA copies organized within the nucleolar organizing regions (NORs) in chromosomes 2 and 4. There are four major types of variants of rDNA, VAR1-4, based on the polymorphisms of 3’ external transcribed sequences. The variants are known to be differentially expressed during plant development. We created a mutant by the CRISPR-Cas9-mediated excision of ~ 25 nt from predominantly NOR4 ribosomal DNA copies, obtaining mosaic mutational events on ~ 5% of all rDNA copies. The excised region consists of P-loop and Helix-82 segments of 25S rRNA. The mutation led to allelic, dosage-dependent defects marked by lateral root inhibition, reduced size, and pointy leaves, all previously observed for defective ribosomal function. The mutation in NOR4 led to dosage compensation from the NOR2 copies by elevated expression of VAR1 in mutants and further associated single-nucleotide variants, thus, resulting in altered rRNA sub-population. Furthermore, the mutants exhibited rRNA maturation defects specifically in the minor pathway typified by 32S pre-rRNA accumulation. Density-gradient fractionation and subsequent RT-PCR of rRNA analyses revealed that mutated copies were not incorporated into the translating ribosomes. The mutants in addition displayed an elevated autophagic flux as shown by the autophagic marker GFP-ATG8e, likely related to ribophagy.
