title: Will the Last Archivist in Seattle Please Turn Out the Lights: Value and the National Archives
Creators: name: Llewellyn, Megan E.

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: With the abrupt announcement in late January 2020 that the National Archives at Seattle–placed on 10 acres in the Sand Point neighborhood since 1963–would be "eventually" closed and the records moved to facilities in Riverside, California and Kansas City, Missouri, the surprised dismay from state archivists, researchers, and Native American tribal leaders and Alaska Natives who see their ancestors and heritage directly depicted in the records was quick and loud. The facility holds one million cubic feet of federal records which are accessed by over 700 people visiting its research rooms, and which grow by about 1300 cubic feet annually. In this examination of the National Archives at Seattle's collections use–integrating staff perspectives with data from recent reports, budgets, and the accounting framework that informed the decision–we contribute an analysis of the digitization work proposed to replace in-person viewership, and an Indigenous and land-development view on the archival value assessments within the decision.
An investigation of brake squeal from a coupled tribology and dynamics perspective
Creators: name: Yin, Lu
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Brake squeal is a long-standing problem in the dynamics and tribology fields. This irregular high-frequency noise causes irritation to vehicle users and passers-by, who may believe the brake components are problematic, although the brake system is working as designed. Brake squeal is affected by a number of different factors in micro and macro levels, some of which are not well understood. The aim of this thesis focuses on investigating brake squeal from a coupled tribology and dynamics perspective on a simple point-contact model for a general understanding of brake squeal. The pin-on-disc test rig with a microphone and an infrared camera is adopted and improved to generate a large number of recordable squeals in the laboratory. The experiments are conducted to analyse the effect of the friction process on squeal and the influence of temperature and thermal effects on squeal. In addition, modal analysis is carried out to quantify the vibration characteristics of the uncoupled components. The impact hammer test is a simple and effective method to measure natural frequencies and damping ratios. Sharp and clear peaks in frequency response function are compared with the predicted frequencies, which helps to optimise the material properties in simulation. The scanning Laser Doppler Vibrometer is state-of-the-art equipment that can realize a non-contact 3D vibration measurement and visualize the mode shapes of the disc. These measured mode shapes achieve good agreement with the simulated results. Finally, the dynamic transient method is selected for the instability prediction. The complex eigenvalue method is used to visualize the coupled mode shapes of the pin and disc at the predicted unstable frequencies. This finite element instability prediction model is validated by comparison with the experimentally measured squeals. All the sixteen squeal frequencies recorded experimentally are successfully predicted by the dynamic transient analysis on the hemisphere and disc model.
Modelling the free energy of solvation: from data-driven to statistical mechanical approaches
Creators: name: Nur Jazlan, Nur Redzuan

description: The Gibbs free energy of solvation for a given solute in a solvent, usually considered at infinite dilution, provides a simple thermodynamic description of the solution and is related to numerous solvation properties. In the context of solution chemistry, it provides a route to understanding the effect of solvents on equilibrium constants and reaction rates. In the discovery of new drugs, the effectiveness of a drug depends in part on solubility and permeability, leading to the prediction of Gibbs free energy of solvation values to be used frequently in quantitative drug design. Given the importance of the Gibbs free energy of solvation, many predictive tools were developed, spanning quantum mechanical (QM) methods, empirical methods, and classical methods. Of note, empirical methods are data-driven approaches through statistical learning. In this work, we assembled a database of experimental Gibbs free energies of solvation and a corresponding set of 9 quantum mechanical (QM) solute descriptors and 12 bulk solvent descriptors. We also partitioned the Gibbs free energy of solvation into an electrostatic term and a nonelectrostatic term. The electrostatic term is the difference between the electronic energies of a solute in a vacuum and solvent obtained though using the X3LYP/6-31 G(d,p) electronic structure method and the Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM). We then obtain a separate database of derived nonelectrostatic energies alongside the Gibbs free energy of solvation database which are used to develop models using statistical and regression methodologies such as partial least squares (PLS), quadratic partial least squares (QPLS) and automatic learning of algebraic models for optimisation (ALAMO). We then carry out a systematic comparison of various activity coefficients, data-driven models, an equation of state, and a hybrid QM/activity coefficient model. Notable models include the Dortmund version of UNIFAC model (modUNIFAC (Do)), the statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT- γ Mie), and the conductor-like screening model segmented activity coefficients (COSMO-SAC). We carry out calculations for the free energy of solvation on a common data set of 404 solute/solvent pairs with examples such as alcohols, alkanes, and aromatic molecules as solutes and alkanes, alcohols and water as solvents. We also assess the strengths and weaknesses of each method based on the overall data set and for specific subsets of solute/solvent pairs (e.g., aqueous/nonaqueous pairs.)

description: BIM Systematics for Process Optimization have been widely developed in recent years, considering the benefits they provide to the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector. One of the systematics that deserves to be highlighted is automatic rule checking, which allows for the automation of specific compliance relevant to several design modalities. With this in mind, it is imperative to search for ways to automate processes of design compliance. This study, by a systematic literature review (SR), seeks to understand the current state of the art regarding the automation of BIM-based design compliance. With it, it was possible to identify the main points inherent to the process, such as (i) the main tools used, (ii) how the Industry Foundation Class scheme was used, (iii) the procedures and challenges found for the development of design. The evaluation indicates that it is possible to highlight the complexity of the process, especially for its implementation. Each study approaches the topic in a different way, using specific strategies. The use of hard-coded mechanisms proved to be the most suitable for developing specific systems. The findings suggest that the greatest difficulties and limitations of the studies analyzed are directly related to the technology axis, more specifically regarding the treatment and manipulation of geometry in general.

description: Abstract Background Faculty-development programmes for health professions educators focus on capacity building, which may not recognise the pre-existing skills and knowledge of participants. A shift to capacity development that recognises the individual and collective skills and knowledge of faculty is needed.
 Objectives To explore the contribution an African faculty-development programme made to the professional and personal development of faculty and teaching in the programme. Also, to investigate the contribution the programme made to the wider health professions education community of practice in Africa.
 Methods A qualitative, exploratory design was used, with a convenience sample of 15 faculty members of the sub-Saharan Africa-Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER) Regional Institute (SAFRI) faculty development programme. Each participant’s SAFRI journey was explored through an in-depth interview, and data were thematically analysed. Ethical approval was obtained for the study.
 Results A model of faculty development for individual and collective capacity development was derived from five emergent themes: (i) personal and professional development; (ii) collaborative practice; (iii) networking; (iv) research and scholarship; and (v) support.
 Conclusions Faculty-development initiatives may result in capacity development, which extends beyond individual participants to include a wider community of practice. This expanded understanding is best articulated by the African term ubuntu (I am because you are).

description: Abstract:
This paper describes, the results of a brief survey of archivists working for fifty five small archives nationwide. The purpose the survey was to examine to what extent smaller archival institutions are applying remote reference services, what type of remote services are being utilized and to identify common challenges faced by small archival institutions with different functions and audiences. It also and examine common challenges faced in the implementation of digitization efforts to support these reference services. The survey was posted via the Society of American Archivists Lone Arrangers Forum, and cross-posted it on the Reference, Access, and Outreach Forum. The makeup of the participants varied, working in museum archives; religious archives; university archives; and local historical societies. After analysis, challenges in providing remote reference services such as time management and cost are common across different types of small archival institutions, and across different reference strategies. These same challenges also appear in relation to small archival institutions’ efforts to implement online access to collections as a tool for unmediated reference. The survey provided a window into challenges faced by archivists at small institutions, particularly in terms of time and cost, as they attempt to adapt their reference services to meet user preferences.

description: The present study aims to compare the WISC-III and WISC-V scaled scores for children with learning disabilities, referred for reevaluation at diagnostic services. Specifically, the aim was to compare and describe the relationship between WISC-III and WISC-V FSIQ and subtests scaled scores. The latest Weschler intelligence scale, WISC-V, applied and standardized in the Greek population, was used, while at an earlier time WISC-III was used too. The sample consisted of 17 children referred for reevaluation at diagnostic service, aged between 11 years and 5 months old and 16 years old. Τhe time interval between two evaluations ranged from 29 to 38 months. Data was processed through case analyses and bivariate correlation analyses. Τhe results showed existing differences and similarities between WISC-III and WISC-V FSIQ and subtests scaled scores. Pearson correlations for WISC-III and WISC-V FSIQ and subtests scaled scores were found positively statistically significant , ranging from low to high degree. Block design subtest correlation was found non significant.

Year: 2020

description: An historical understanding of the phenomenon that is Silicon Valley requires the collection and preservation of original records. With the rapid pace of change in the technology industry, how can archivists and their institutions preserve this corporate history? Two archivists address how they were able to found an archives at Cisco Systems and maintain another at Hewlett-Packard. Two common elements emerged: 1) the formation of a licensed limited company (LLC) as the legal structure for the archival repository, and 2) the use of outsourcing to staff both repositories. Outsourcing via a non-profit, in this case the Computer History Museum, or a for-profit archival service provider offers archival and exhibit expertise, scalability, and flexibility, all of which are instrumental for technology companies. With Silicon Valley’s headlong rush toward the future and its extensive use of contractors we believe these case studies will provide a partial mechanism for preserving Silicon Valley history.

description: Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit setzt sich mit der Beziehungsgestaltung im Massnahmenvollzug junger Erwachsener auseinander. Da es sich bei Letzterem um einen Zwangskontext handelt, werden die sozialpädagogischen Fachkräfte mit Widerstand seitens der jungen Erwachsenen konfrontiert. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Ermittlung geeigneter Methoden, um Kooperationsbereitschaft in Zusammenarbeit mit straffälligen, männlichen jungen Erwachsenen in den Massnahmenzentren zu erreichen und somit widerständige Verhaltensweisen zu mindern, wobei die professionelle Beziehungsgestaltung zentral ist. Um jene Methoden des Vollzugs zu analysieren, wird vorliegend Lothar Bönischs Konzept der Lebensbewältigung beigezogen. Böhnisch geht davon aus, dass Betroffene in kritischen Lebenssituationen nach psychosozialer Handlungsfähigkeit streben. Weisen sie keine Problemlösungsstrategien auf, um Handlungsfähigkeit zu erreichen, können sie sich abweichend verhalten, wobei sich Letzteres beispielsweise durch Widerstände gegenüber Sozialpädagoginnen und -pädagogen zeigen kann. In der Arbeit werden Methoden erläutert, die sich positiv auf die Beziehungsgestaltung auswirken und die nach dem Konzept der Lebensbewältigung analysiert werden. Dabei hat sich herausgestellt, dass sich alle eruierten Methoden positiv auf das psychosoziale Gleichgewicht auswirken. Daraus ergeben sich Handlungsempfehlungen für die sozialpädagogische Arbeit mit widerstandsfähigen jungen Erwachsenen im Massnahmenvollzug. Weiterführend könnte durch eine Forschungsarbeit die Wirksamkeit der Methoden in der Praxis überprüft werden.

description: Abstract
 Purpose The current paper aims to analyse the antecedents of leader–member exchange relationships (LMX) by specifically focusing on the influence of the supervisor’s feedback delivery tactic.
 Design/methodology/approach This study uses qualitative research methods with primary interviews as the main data source. Primary interviews with 40 managers from top supermarkets in Nigeria, South Africa and the UK were undertaken.
 Findings The authors found that both high-quality positive feedback and constructive criticisms produced the same feelings – more positive interpersonal relationships with their supervisors, higher levels of commitment to their organisations, higher job satisfaction and thus, high-quality LMX relationships. Where criticisms were delivered without greater interpersonal treatment, feedback was perceived as negative, and participants revealed lack of job satisfaction, lack of commitment to their organisations, poor interpersonal relationship with their supervisors, high turnover intent and thus low-quality LMX relationship.
 Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the current paper is one of the first studies to highlight the consequences of different feedback delivery tactics on subsequent LMX quality particularly in African context. The authors specifically develop a process-based model of enhancing high-quality LMX, which shows the role of the supervisor’s feedback delivery tactic in the process. The authors also develop a process-based model that illustrates how negative/unconstructive feedback could result in a low-quality LMX.
 Finally, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is also one of the first to offer a comparative assessment between African and British (the UK) empirical settings and highlight some interesting dynamics concerning LMX quality and role of supervisor’s feedback delivery tactic.

description: The present study aimed to evaluate the postural balance of young tennis players and young swimming practitioners in static and dynamic conditions. Thirty-six children (5–6 years old) participated in 3 groups: 12 tennis players, 12 swimming practitioners and 12 controls. Static and dynamic [in medial lateral (ML) and anterior posterior (AP) planes] postural balance were assessed by the centre of pressure sways using a stabilometric force platform in the eyes opened (EO) and eyes closed (EC) conditions. In the EO condition, swimming practitioners and tennis players had a significantly lower (p < 0.05) centre of pressure mean velocity (CoPVm) compared to controls in both static and dynamic medial-lateral (D-ML) postures. In the D-ML posture, swimming practitioners showed lower CoPVm compared to tennis players. However, in the EC condition, only the swimming practitioners showed better static and D-ML postural balance (p < 0.05) compared to their counterparts. In the static posture, the Romberg index value was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in tennis players compared to the two other groups. Tennis players developed a higher reliance on vision to maintain balance, whereas swimming practitioners were more stable in challenging postural conditions. Clinicians should consider incorporating swimming training rather than tennis as an appropriate balance training in fall-prevention programs.

 Abstract Supported by an extensive review of four-domains of literature (knowledge management, organisational learning, culture, and retail), this study examines the influence of national culture on transfer of knowledge categories in top supermarkets in Africa and the United Kingdom (UK). Data from in-depth semi-structured interviews with 40 store managers (SMs) was used to examine how the SMs transfer the five sales performance drivers – selling-related knowledge, the degree-of-adaptiveness, role-clarity, cognitive-aptitude, and work-engagement – to their subordinates.
 The study finds these UK supermarkets’ knowledge transfer (KT) practices as embedded in Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and project-based learning. SMs from African supermarkets exploit various opportunities to build interpersonal relationships and trust with knowledge-holders, thereby facilitating learning and KT. This study links such behaviours to ‘Ubuntu’ – a well-established African philosophy/ethics. The study finds socialisation, externalisation, and internalisation as common knowledge assets in African supermarkets, in contrast to socialisation and externalisation in their UK counterparts. This study found that, despite these variations in their strategic priorities regarding knowledge assets, these five sales performance drivers are transferred successfully in the supermarkets in both continents that participated in the research. This offers a new insight that challenges the extant theorising that KT praxis varies between diverse cultures.

Stochastic models of Langevin type and random displacement models are developed to calculate the statistical characteristics of the vertical mixing. For validation, Langevin type models and random displacement models conventionally applied in this field are compared. All the methods show a good qualitative agreement. However the random diplacement model with constant coefficients is shown to perform with considerable deviations.

description: At the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) University Libraries, archival processing metrics are used to support value propositions, project proposals, project management, and strategic planning. When making data-driven decisions, UNLV Special Collections Technical Services staff strive to balance the art and science of archival processing metrics—to critically assess their data and look beyond the numbers for additional information that brings meaning to the metrics. In this research paper, the authors review processing metrics across the profession and place their own archival processing field data within the context of more than three decades of professional practice. They report and explore UNLV’s processing rates and the variables that potentially influence their rates. Learning from methods piloted during special projects, they reach toward a more streamlined, sustainable assessment practice. They also include a “work in progress”—an experimental framework that suggests core processing data points for UNLV with a second tier of optional data points that may add value to metrics in specific circumstances. The flexibility and extensibility of the framework give it the potential to serve as a model for other repositories.
Aging Bodies along the Nile: Investigating Osteoporosis in Ancient Nubia

Subjects: Biological (physical) anthropology

description: This dissertation investigates the patterns of osteoporosis and age-related bone loss in the Ancient Nile Valley through the analysis of skeletal remains from the Ancient Nubian sites of Tombos and Kerma, located near the Third Nile Cataract. Specifically, this research explores the biocultural factors that contribute to the loss of bone quality and quantity throughout different stages of the life course, such as childhood growth and development, health and nutrition, reproduction, and activity patterns. I utilized a multimethod approach incorporating non-invasive 3D and 2D imaging technology in combination with traditional bioarchaeological methods. MicroCT scans of lumbar vertebrae were used to view differences in trabecular bone microarchitecture measures (bone quality) as well as radiographs of the second metacarpal to measure cortical bone quantity via the cortical index. Additionally, osteological analyses of all individuals were performed to observe pathological conditions such as cribra orbitalia, enamel hypoplasia, and skeletal trauma. Measurements of vertebral neural canal size and maximum femoral length were collected to better understand how physiological health and nutritional status corresponded to bone health in the study samples. The two sites were analyzed for signs of age-related bone loss within the whole study sample as well as within the male and female sub-samples; males and females were also compared within the overall sample as well as within separate age-categories to view sex-related differences in trabecular and cortical bone health. Differences in bone quality and quantity between groups with presence and absence of physiological stress markers or trauma as well as differing degrees of physical activity markers were assessed, as well as correlations between indicators of developmental stress and bone health measures. To better understand the impact of the cultural and historical environment on bone health, patterns of bone loss within different archaeological groups were explored. My findings illustrate that age-related bone loss was present in these populations, particularly within females, and that the decline in trabecular bone quality began as early in the life course as the late 20s/early 30s. This research highlights the complex nature of bone health and maintenance and shows that there are age- and sex-related changes in bone quality and quantity but also patterns of bone loss that reflect biocultural differences in the lived experiences of these individuals.

Cependant, l'objectif de ce mémoire est de vous présenter que, malgré les apparences, certains aspects des maisons traditionnelles restent encore fortement ancrés dans la culture du pays. Les principes dans la construction des espaces sont aujourd'hui employés par des architectes réputés qui utilisent des connaissances de l'architecture vernaculaire pour la conception d'une habitation contemporaine. De tout temps, les maisons sont conçues pour être beaucoup plus qu'un simple toit. Fréquemment liée à la Nature et avec un jeu de lumière particulier, la maison japonaise est à la fois un espace de bien-être et un refuge au milieu de la ville. Je vous invite donc à voyager et à découvrir un peu plus l'art de vivre japonais.

description: Abstract

The phenomenon of information technology crime is a relatively new form of crime when compared to other forms of crime that are conventional in nature. Information technology crimes emerged at the same time as the birth of the information technology revolution. In addition, it is also characterized by social interaction that minimizes physical presence, which is another characteristic of the information technology revolution. With the rapid development of information technology, information technology regulation is not enough only with conventional laws and regulations, but special arrangements are needed that describe the actual state of the condition of society so that there is no gap between the substance of legal regulations and the reality that develops in society. Cyber law itself is a law that specifically applies in the cyber world and cannot be released within the scope of the legal system in Indonesia, therefore it is necessary to study by prioritizing its main principle that the law has binding force. Because it is in the form of regulations in the form of laws that are systematically arranged in codification.

What Do We Know about Radicalization? A Commentary on Key Issues, Findings and a Framework for Future Research for the Scientific and Applied Community
Creators: name: Knight, Sarah

Publisher: name: International Journal of Conflict and Violence (IJCV)
Year: 2020

description: This IJCV focus section presents seven articles that resulted from a project involving a mix of researchers and practitioners working jointly on different aspects of radicalization. The current commentary provides an overview of these, examining how the findings inform our wider understanding, support previous findings and provide a framework for future research. It also synthesizes the issues raised and explores where this takes the scientific and applied community. Whilst based primarily on literature and lessons learned from Germany, many of the findings and recommendations are applicable to the wider international context. This collection of articles on the subject of radicalization therefore provides the reader with a broad and up-to-date understanding of key concepts, themes and issues, and an in-depth understanding of specific topics, ongoing challenges and knowledge gaps. It also provides a solid basis to inform evidence-based practice and highlights practitioner requirements and gaps in understanding that need to be addressed. The knowledge presented here can therefore inform Preventing/Countering Violent Extremism efforts, which need to be practical, feasible, affordable and evidence-based.

description: This article reviews the academic literature on how and for what purposes violent extremists use the Internet, at both an individual and organizational level. After defining key concepts like extremism, cyber-terrorism and online radicalization, it provides an overview of the virtual extremist landscape, tracking its evolution from static websites and password-protected forums to mainstream social media and encrypted messaging apps. The reasons why violent extremist organizations use online tools are identified and evaluated, touching on propaganda, recruitment, logistics, funding, and hacking. After this, the article turns to the ways violent extremist individuals use the Internet, discussing its role as a facilitator for socialization and learning. The review concludes by considering the emergent literature on how violent extremism is being countered online, touching on both defensive and offensive measures.

title: Nachhaltigkeitsstrategien in öffentlichen und wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken - Eine Handlungsempfehlung
Creators: name: Ivens, Janina
Publisher: name: Hochschule Hannover
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: 020 Bibliotheks- und Informationswissenschaft

description: Das Thema Nachhaltigkeit hat in den letzten Jahren auch dank der Fridays For Future Bewegung zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen. Bibliotheken sind per Definition nachhaltig durch die Bereitstellung und Ausleihe von Medien. Zusätzlich präsentieren sie ihrer Kundschaft Aktionen und Projekte wie „Saatgutbibliotheken“, welche inspirieren sollen, sich mit Nachhaltigkeit und den 17 Nachhaltigkeitszielen (SDGs) zu beschäftigen. Doch welche Strategie verfolgen Bibliotheken, um dieses Thema intern zu integrieren? Diese literaturbasierte Arbeit gibt einen Überblick über Nachhaltigkeit und im Besonderen über Nachhaltigkeitsstrategien. Dazu wird kurz ein Überblick über die historische Entwicklung der Nachhaltigkeit und der nachhaltigen Aktivitäten des Weltverbandes der Bibliotheken (IFLA), des Deutschen Bibliotheksverbandes (dbv) und des Netzwerks Grüne Bibliothek gegeben. Vervollständigt wird dies durch ein Kapitel zur Strategieentwicklung. Der erhaltene Überblick wird mit praxisnahen Fallbeispielen von öffentlichen und wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken aus Deutschland, Hong Kong und Oulu (Finnland) abgeglichen, mit dem Ziel eine Handlungsempfehlung für eine erfolgreiche Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie für Bibliotheken zu erhalten. Diese Handlungsempfehlung möchte Bibliotheken dazu anregen, eine solche Strategie, gestützt mit den drei Aspekten Sichtbarkeit, Vernetzung & Kooperation und Engagement der Mitarbeitenden für die eigene Bibliothek zu entwerfen.

Dissecting Deradicalization: Challenges for Theory and Practice in Germany

Year: 2020

description: Compared to the topic of radicalization, deradicalization was long treated as secondary in research, at least until recently. This article outlines the most important findings from theory and practice in three steps by: (1) discussing and reviewing existing classifications and typologies, (2) suggesting a conceptualization of the term “deradicalization” while considering discourses about the roles of ideology, identity and risk, and, based on this, (3) providing an overview of the empirical case of practical work in Germany. It turns out that central actors from practice, academia, (security) authorities and politics not only use different definitions, but there is also little agreement on what deradicalization (practically) means. The German case shows that the landscape of deradicalization, differentiated into four fields of action, is highly diverse. However, the existing hybrid model of state and civic competences as well as the variety of approaches and actors should – with proper accentuation – be seen as an opportunity.

GDPR

description: Remaining liberties that GDPR provides to EU Member States as well as remaining ambiguities on GDPR interpretation keep feeding the debates in the ethical and legal literature. Projects like CINECA, seeking to facilitate health data exchanges between cohorts in Europe, Canada and Africa, offer valuable experience and input on essential ethical and legal gaps between countries and cohorts on questions such as the choice of the ethical lawful basis for international health data sharing and secondary processing for research purposes. The focus of this deliverable will be on answering, both from a legal and an ethical point of view, two priority questions: How to choose a legal basis for CINECA’s data processing? And how should CINECA apprehend broad consent to further data processing? The goal will be to study how the CINECA project could be efficiently conducted (especially data sharing) while being legally compliant with relevant laws and regulations and most of all, being compliant with established ethical guidelines and practices across three continents.
