Bauxite Production
No full textBauxite is a naturally occurring, heterogeneous material composed primarily of one or more aluminum hydroxide minerals, plus various mixtures of silica, iron oxide, titania, aluminosilicate, and other impurities in minor or trace amounts. The principal aluminum hydroxide minerals found in varying proportions with bauxites are gibbsite and the polymorphs boehmite and diaspore. Bauxites are typically classified according to their intended commercial application: abrasive, cement, chemical, metallurgical, refractory, etc. The bulk of world bauxite production (approximately 85%) is used as feed for the manufacture of alumina via a wet chemical caustic leach method commonly known as the Bayer process. Subsequently, the majority of the resulting alumina produced from this refining process is in turn employed as the feedstock for the production of aluminum metal by the electrolytic reduction of alumina in a molten bath of natural or synthetic cryolite (Na3AlF6), the Hall-Héroult process

In Pursuit of Informed Voters: Three Experimental Studies on Enhanced Voting Advice Applications
No full textVoters frequently struggle to understand political attitude statements in Voting Advice Applications (VAAs) and often invest limited effort in resolving these difficulties. Conversational Agent VAAs (CAVAAs) aim to reduce the cognitive effort involved in searching for relevant information by integrating chatbots that can provide contextual support. This paper presents findings from three studies comparing CAVAAs to standard VAAs without additional information (Studies 1 and 2) and to VAAs with static clickable explanations (Study 3, VAA+). Study 1 (N = 93) was a laboratory experiment conducted during the 2023 Dutch Parliamentary elections with university students. Participants were assigned to either a standard VAA, or a CAVAA condition. The chatbot in the CAVAA was used in approximately 45% of cases, with users showing a preference for opinion-based and status quo information. Compared to the standard VAA, CAVAAs reduced non-directional responses and increased evaluations of the tool being usable, Moreover, as well as users’users perceived knowledge was higher, whereas no differences were found for factual knowledge and turn-out intention. Study 2 (N = 144) largely replicated these results in a field setting with a more diverse sample and showed that the effects held hold across different levels of political sophistication. Study 3 (N = 159), conducted during the 2024 European elections, compared a CAVAA to a VAA+ with static clickable explanations. While VAA+ users requested information more frequently than CAVAA users, both tools received similar evaluations, and this finding was again consistent across user groups based on their level of political sophistication. In the manuscript we discuss the implications of these findings for theory and practice
Pro-Poor Governance: Evidence on Incentivizing Policy Implementation in Brazil
No full textTo analyse the relationship between municipal characteristics and governance implementation as measured by the IGD, this study combines sociodemographic data from national censuses, data on the Bolsa Família programme, including the IGD, from the Ministry of Social Development, annual administrative data reported by IBGE, financial data in the FINBRA database, electoral data from the TSE and coding of political parties’ ideology by Borges and Vidigal (2023). The data cover the period when the IGD has been operational and for which data are widely available, from 2007-2021
Lippe brick-makers: database
No full text
Online HTML Editor-->
This dataset is part of the Lippe brickmakers project.
It contains two files:
A file in tabular format (.tab): in each row there is data about a person (brick-maker) from Lippe and it's migratory seasonal work. The original "code book" can be found in this web page, which is also archived at the Internet Archive's Wayback machine. A list with the main columns is also presented here below.
A file in n-triples format (.nt), wich contains the same data as the previous file but represented in linked data format (triples). This linked data version is the basis for exploring and querying the data via this "data story" via the linked data publication platform.
These are the columns in this dataset and what they contain:
'row', 'ID', 'original_source', 'original_ID': these columns contain legacy Ids from the previous databases where the data resided before it was uploaded.
'Signatur', 'Folio_original', 'Folio': In the Lippe archive there is a "fond" (broader unit) identified with number L77A. This fond contains different "signaturen", for example, "4698", or "4716". Both numbers (L77A, and 4698) were assigned by the archive who hosted the original scans (Landesarchiv Nordrhein-Westfalen). For more information see the "Lippe brickmakers project: archival pages transcriptions" dataset.
Jahr: the year of the original document (year in which the worker went to do seasonal work).
Bezirk: district
Amt: office or jurisdiction (Bailiwick or office within Lippe-Detmold in which the worker resides)
Ortschaft:: Locality, town or district of Lipper where the worker lived or lives before going for work. It can also be in the border areas of Lipper.
Kataster: cadastral number of the farms in Lippe-Detmold. Residents do not have their own cadastral number.
Beziehung: (relationship)
Colon: in the passport lists it should be mentioned whether a worker is a colon - owner of the colonate - or his son.
Kötter: whether a worker is a peasant or a resident.
Enrolliert: (in military service).
Alter: age of the worker
Wohin: suspected workplace on migrant labour.
Nächster_Stadt: Next_City
Land: country or province of the workplace.
Wie_lange: passports are issued for a specific period of time.
Datum: date of the work passport.
Fabrik: names of the brick manufacturers or the company.
Arbeit: labour, job
Arbeit_q: A: The work is explicitly mentioned in the source. B: The work is derived from the source.
Betragen: remark about the behaviour in the workplace.
Gruppe: number of the group in the brick messenger lists. Some lists are numbered consecutively, others are numbered by area. Numbers used in error for the second time are numbered differently.
Grösse: size of the workers' group.
Grösse_q: A: Size was a number; B: Size is calculated from the persons named per group.
Stellung: sequence number of the worker within the group.
Notiz: remarks at the fields or references after the individual named outside the lists.
page_scan_url: link to the digitized scan of the page from which the data was extracted.
