multisensor inferred trajectories

the abundance of tracking sensors in recent years has led to the generation of highfrequency and highvolume streams of data including vessels vehicles tracking data smartwatches cameras and earth observation sensors however there are cases where the trajectory of a moving object has gaps errors or is unavailable however a vast pool of tracking data is available but remains unexplored or underutilized and has the potential to reveal important information the multisensor inferred trajectories musit project aims at exploring and fusing data from all heterogeneous sources to provide detailed information about a moving objects whereabouts and behavior reduce gaps and produce a refined and inferred trajectory with minimal errors the fusion of multisensor data is required to fill in the trajectory gaps of moving objects and attach useful semantics to the trajectory and its components ai algorithms and spatiotemporal methodologies that can fuse information and infer the missing knowledge are crucial to the implementation of musit furthermore different representation models from multiple domains within the ict sector will also be explored datasets will be made available in cases where it was previously thought impossible and infer knowledge thus improving the overall surveillance therefore the musit project will tackle the aforementioned issues in a process that can be categorized into three parts i data collection and creation ii exploitation and utilization of crossdomain representation models within the ict sector for trajectories and iii analysis and processing of outcomes to produce informationrich results related to vessel monitoring and urban mobility

distributed and prepared a new theory of citizens public connection networks in the age of datafication

in the last decade societies across the world have been challenged by fragmenting public debate fueled by algorithmically steered social media and new threats of propaganda and misinformation the dual tendency of political apathy and polarization pose grave problems for a wellfunctioning democracy as the social sciences appear unable to mitigate the challenges with a seemingly ignorant and passive citizenry prepare proposes a radically new approach prepare fills a research gap on the impact of algorithmic media and datafied everyday life on citizens potential for political engagement current research on peoples connection to the public is predominately interested in measuring the political knowledge of socalled informed citizens or studying the everyday microaspects of news media use the leap proposed by prepare changes the focus from each citizens informedness to develop and test a groundbreaking theory of distributed preparedness building a cohesive theory for a fragmented field prepare will stake out a new path for research on citizens role in democracies the project will develop a feasible normative theory of citizens orientations to the sphere of politics in datafied societies their networks for public connection prepares research questions concern 1 how people stay prepared to engage with public issues and 2 what resources they need to move from standby to engage prepare substantiates the new theory through thickening of big data with three ethnographies integrated with digital methods of socalled disconnected citizens the three groups are young urban immigrants rural manual workers and women outside the labour market the path cleared by prepare allows research to constructively engage with improving democratic societies and civic awareness
enabling comprehensive effective and efficient protection and restoration measures for a resilient baltic sea ecosystem

the eu biodiversity strategy bds requires expanding the spatial coverage of marine protected areas to 30 with 10 strict protection achieving the current 1417 coverage has taken the baltic sea region 30 years and strict protection remains almost nonexistent to meet the bds target the countries will have to double the coverage in just 8 years to fully capitalize on the added value of increased coverage designation management and measures including restoration need to be done in a strategic ecologically relevant way focusing on areas and measures which enhance the existing network and optimise the possibility to secure positive biodiversity outcomes there are however substantial challenges facing the region when it comes to leveraging the full potential of upcoming protection and restoration efforts and ultimately positive biodiversity outcomes especially in such a tight timeframeto ensure that the upcoming efforts are both effective and efficient this transboundary network level biogeographical region scale project will develop infrastructure for and ensure long term access to an unparalleled data driven ecoregion scale evidence base to support strategic planning measures and management develop a blue print for and establish a data driven regionally agreed protection framework to improve governance and transboundary cooperation including politically agreed shared conservation and restoration objectives targets etc to reach the desired state identify the current baseline of protection efforts across the entire sea basin crossreference the desired state with the current baseline to identify gaps in protection and restoration efforts provide concrete and replicable support to ensure capacity for the baltic sea ms to strategically fill the gaps harmonise and achieve the full potential of the protection and restoration efforts
local democratic governance towards equality implementation of gender equality policies in times of antigender and democratic backsliding

lodge studies local responses to one of the crucial challenges of contemporary european societies preserving mechanisms designed to protect gender equality and democratic inclusion in an increasingly polarized climate the project examines localism a form of governance that privileges local institutions as key sites of civic engagement and citizen control over public services specifically lodge tests the scholarly agreement that localism is a particularly fertile terrain for the design and implementation of gender equality and democratic inclusion policies because of the capacity of local administrations to reorganize political priorities and redistribute power and resources more equitably the project proposes an empirical study to measure the implementation of the legislative agenda of barcelona and madrid city councils during 20152019 two local governments in spain that professed localism and designed pioneering feminist politics the project will deliver 1 an analysis of gender equality and democratic inclusion policies that are distinctive of localist agendas and 2 an analysis of the obstacles and opportunities to implement such policies with a specific focus on the discursive negotiation of policy meanings and the impact of key actors and organizational structures in the success of policy implementation lodge will conduct content and frame analysis of policy documents indepth interviews with municipal technical personnel participant observation in technical meetings two workshops with policy experts and will produce a technical report the project will contribute to develop the increasingly relevant concept of localism from a gender equality perspective advance the field of implementation studies of gender equality policies empirically document experiences to engender spaces of democratic participation bridge the gap between nonacademic stakeholders and academic scholars and contribute to policymaking with policy recommendations
