Automatic Evaluation of Student Software Solutions in a Virtualized Environment

2023 46th MIPRO ICT and Electronics Convention (MIPRO), 2023
Universities are using Automated Programming Assessment Systems (APAS) to minimize problems that emerge by manually managing student software solutions: subjectivity, inefficiency in case of many solutions, and lack of fast and rich feedback for the student. Lately, handling code executions in a secure way has become a requirement.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.
