Show moreAfter collecting a number of results on interval and almost interval preserving lin-ear maps and vector lattice homomorphisms, we show that direct systems in variouscategories of normed vector lattices and Banach lattices have direct limits, and thatthese coincide with direct limits of the systems in naturally associated other cate-gories. For those categories where the general constructions do not work to establishthe existence of general direct limits, we describe the basic structure of those directlimits that do exist. A direct system in the category of Banach lattices and contractivealmost interval preserving vector lattice homomorphisms has a direct limit. Whenthe Banach lattices in the system all have order continuous norms, then so does theBanach lattice in a direct limit. This is used to show that a Banach function space overa locally compact Hausdorff space has an order continuous norm when the topologieson all compact subsets are metrisable and (the images of) the continuous compactlysupported functions are dense.

Show moreThe European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) was founded in 1967 as a professional organisation for members working in genetics in clinical practice, research and education. The Society seeks the integration of scientific research and its implementation into clinical practice and the education of specialists and the public in all areas of medical and human genetics. The Society works to do this through many approaches, including educational sessions at the annual conference; training courses in general and specialist areas of genetics; an online resource of educational materials (EuroGEMS); and a mentorship scheme. The ESHG Education Committee is implementing new approaches to expand the reach of its educational activities and portfolio. With changes in technology, appreciation of the utility of genomics in healthcare and the public's and patients' increased awareness of the role of genomics, this review will summarise how the ESHG is adapting to deliver innovative educational activity.
