Digitization Selection Criteria as Anti-Racist Action
No full textBy deciding what to digitize in special collections and archives, we choose what narratives to promote, what history to highlight, and what legacies to further. This paper details a new initiative at LSU Libraries to integrate diversity and inclusion goals into digitization policies. After reviewing examples of how digitization can be either beneficial or harmful to individuals represented in the historical record, the author uses Ibram Kendi’s definition of racist policy — that which leads to racial inequalities — as a starting point for exploring how digitization selection can help counteract histories of exclusion
Black Power, Education, and the History of the Peoples College
No full textOver the past several years, scholars such as Ibram X. Kendi, Martha Biondi, Russell Rickford, and others have produced scholarship on the radicalism of Black students in higher education, alternative educational institutions, and community-based political education study circles of the Black Power Movement. The late 1960s and early 1970s were ripe with the inventiveness of establishing counter-hegemonic Pan-Africanist institutions and student formations dedicated to the teaching and study of Africa and the Third World. The post-Black Power era of the 1970s continued the evolution of Pan-Africanism and Black Internationalism that unpacked the political, cultural, and historical multi- dimensionality of the African continent. During this period, several independent institutions and radical study groups emerged to continue the legacy of the Black Power era

No full textThe purpose of the research conducted by the author on the food and beverage sub-sector manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX): To test and analyze the effect of tax planning on firm value. This study uses a quantitative approach, while the analytical technique used is a simple linear analysis technique. Based on the results of data testing on the Effect of Tax Planning on Company Value in food and beverage sub-sector manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2017-2019, it can be concluded several things, namely tax planning has an effect on company value, as measured by the Effective Tax Rate and Book Value per Share. Which means, the better the tax planning by the company, the higher the value of the company. The value of Adjusted R Square (R2) is 0.324, this value indicates the magnitude of the influence of the independent variable on the dependent variable is 0.324 or 32.4%. Keywords: Tax Planning
Reimagining an antiracist graphic design history: a model for a plural pedagogy
No full textThis article calls for a reexamination of graphic design history and pedagogy as a form of antiracist action in response to the events of 2020. The horrific deaths of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd gripped America, drawing widespread outrage throughout 2020 amid a pandemic. It was an all too familiar tale of police brutality against Black Americans that incited national furor and once again thrust antiracist discourse into mainstream consciousness. Set against the backdrop of a polarizing presidency that normalized an autocratic culture and enabled far right extremism, many Americans acknowledged a system that enabled unfair and unjust treatment of certain classes. An antiracist consciousness urges us to actively fight against and reconsider systems that not only defy equality, but perpetuate inequality. As diversity, equity, and inclusive efforts transform America’s institutional structures including workplaces and academia, educator’s should draw on their innate desire for inquiry and acknowledge their position of influence. Educators reside at the cross-hairs of opportunity: we can enact change through revised narratives and the mechanism through which those narratives are delivered. Antiracist activist Ibram X. Kendi calls this narrative-change initiatives. While the dominant elite notion of Western graphic design history faces criticism as a narrative needing less prejudice by US-based educators, practitioners, and university students alike, educators can recenter the commonly taught narrative of graphic design around voices that actually reflect the diversity in the classroom. This article outlines a method for incorporating plurality into design history education to cultivate inclusivity and reverse systematic prejudice.First author draf
Critérios de autoridade para a realização de seleção de materiais de informação em bibliotecas especializadas
No full textTrabalho de Conclusão de Curso (graduação)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade de Ciência da Informação, 2017.Considera a relevância dos critérios de autoridade para a realização de seleção de materiais de informação em bibliotecas especializadas, haja vista a relevância do processo no âmbito da formação e desenvolvimento de acervos nesse contexto. Instituições que intermediam informação sobre o meio ambiente têm sua reconhecida função social à medida que o tema é de interesse global, algo que amplia o interesse às coleções digitais e em rede, com o seu característico alcance. Nessa direção, a política de desenvolvimento de coleções de duas bibliotecas especializadas sobre o tema, foram investigadas: do Instituto de Meio Ambiente e de Recursos Hídricos do Distrito Federal – Brasília Ambiental (IBRAM) e do Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Renováveis (IBAMA). A pesquisa objetiva, de modo geral, propor a consideração de critérios de autoridade alternativos ao desenvolvimento de coleções, dentre os quais os critérios de autoridade epistêmica, científica e cognitiva, para a realização de seleção de materiais de informação em bibliotecas especializadas e, de modo específico: a) identificar e comparar os critérios de seleção relativos às políticas de desenvolvimento de coleções nas bibliotecas especializadas do IBRAM e do IBAMA; b) relacionar os conceitos de autoridade epistêmica, cognitiva e científica, com vistas a verificar a viabilidade de considerá-los no âmbito do desenvolvimento de coleções ao compará-los com os critérios de seleção e de autoridade que compõem as políticas das bibliotecas especializadas analisadas.A pesquisa tem natureza qualitativa, bibliográfica e documental. A fundamentação teórica contou com os conceitos de biblioteca especializada, biblioteca temática política de desenvolvimento de coleções, processo de seleção de documentos, critérios de seleção, critérios de autoridade e bibliotecas especializadas com a temática em meio ambiente, algo relevante para a análise dos corpora constituídos pela documentação oficial – políticas de desenvolvimento de coleções – das instituições analisadas. Conclui-se que os critérios de seleção apresentados pelas duas políticas são, em grande medida, convergentes; já os elementos presentes nos critérios de autoridade podem ser mais abrangentes, mas bem delimitados, não se limitando apenas na seleção de acordo com a reputação do autor ou do editor. Complementarmente, os critérios observados na literatura devem consistir na procura de elementos que garantam a autenticidade, a credibilidade, a confiabilidade, a fidedignidade e a legitimidade da informação.This study considers the relevance of the authority criteria for the selection of materials information in specialized libraries, given the relevance of the process in the training and development of collections in this context. Institutions that mediate information about the environment have recognized the social function as the theme is of global interest, something that broadens the interest to the digital collections and in network, with its characteristic reach. In this direction, the policy of developing collections of two specialized libraries on the theme was investigated: from Instituto de Meio Ambiente e de Recursos Hídricos do Distrito Federal – Brasília Ambiental (IBRAM) e do Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Renováveis (IBAMA). The research objective, in general, it is to propose the consideration of alternatives authority criteria for the development of collections, among which the criteria of epistemic, scientific and cognitive authority, for the selection of information materials in specialized libraries and, in a specific way: a) identify and compare selection criteria for collection development policies relating to IBRAM and IBAMA specialized libraries; b) to relate the concepts of epistemic, cognitive and scientific authority with a view to verifying the feasibility of considering them within the scope of collection development when comparing them withthe selection and authority criteria that make up the policies of the specialized libraries analyzed.The research is qualitative, bibliographic and documentary. Theoretical basis included the concepts of specialized library, thematic library policy of collection development, selection process of documents, selection criteria, authority criteria and specialized libraries with thematic in the environment, something relevant for the analysis of constituted corpora by official documentation - collection development policies - of the analyzed institutions. It is concluded that the selection criteria presented by the two policies are, to a large extent, convergent; the elements present in the authority criteria may be broader but well defined, not limited only to selection according to the reputation of the author or publisher. Complementarily, the criteria observed in the literature should consist of searching for elements that guarantee the authenticity, credibility, reliability, reliability and legitimacy of information
How to Design an Antiracist State and Local Tax System
No full textSince the first ship of enslaved African people landed in Virginia in 1619, racist policies in institutions, systems, structures, practices, and laws have ensured inequity for people of color. These racist policies include every imaginable variant of injustice from slavery to lynching, to segregation, and to economic injustices, including those delivered through tax systems today. Although facially color-blind, tax systems have long empowered the explosion of white wealth and undermined wealth accumulation for Black families and communities of color. State and local tax systems, especially in the South, have deeply-rooted racist fiscal policies, including Jim Crow laws that continue to sustain and bolster racial inequality today. These injustices have become even more obvious during the global pandemic.As Americans struggle with COVID-19 and its aftermath, racial inequality has become even more salient. People of color have suffered higher rates of unemployment, impoverishment, infection, and death from COVID-19. Moreover, scientists, economists, engineers, and doctors agree that racism, not race, is the cause of this disproportionate impact. As we struggle to battle COVID-19 and rebuild from its devastation, federal, state, and local governments have used many tools, including tax systems. In 2021, the federal government, together with twenty-nine states and the District of Columbia, enacted significant tax cuts, with nearly all states cutting individual income tax rates and many tax systems meaningfully delivering expanded tax credits for workers and their children.With race increasingly front and center as a cause of economic inequality, this Article applies Dr. Ibram X. Kendi’s transformative concept of antiracism as the framework to rethink state and local tax systems to better serve all Americans. Deriving an antiracist framework from decades of exhaustive research, Dr. Kendi, a professor of history, international relations, and an award-winning author, has facilitated a broader understanding of racism, its poisonous consequences, and most importantly provides antiracist tools to dismantle it
Burnout among surgeons before and during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: an international survey
No full textBackground: SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has had many significant impacts within the surgical realm, and surgeons have been obligated to reconsider almost every aspect of daily clinical practice. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study reported in compliance with the CHERRIES guidelines and conducted through an online platform from June 14th to July 15th, 2020. The primary outcome was the burden of burnout during the pandemic indicated by the validated Shirom-Melamed Burnout Measure. Results: Nine hundred fifty-four surgeons completed the survey. The median length of practice was 10 years; 78.2% included were male with a median age of 37 years old, 39.5% were consultants, 68.9% were general surgeons, and 55.7% were affiliated with an academic institution. Overall, there was a significant increase in the mean burnout score during the pandemic; longer years of practice and older age were significantly associated with less burnout. There were significant reductions in the median number of outpatient visits, operated cases, on-call hours, emergency visits, and research work, so, 48.2% of respondents felt that the training resources were insufficient. The majority (81.3%) of respondents reported that their hospitals were included in the management of COVID-19, 66.5% felt their roles had been minimized; 41% were asked to assist in non-surgical medical practices, and 37.6% of respondents were included in COVID-19 management. Conclusions: There was a significant burnout among trainees. Almost all aspects of clinical and research activities were affected with a significant reduction in the volume of research, outpatient clinic visits, surgical procedures, on-call hours, and emergency cases hindering the training. Trial registration: The study was registered on clicaltrials.gov "NCT04433286" on 16/06/2020
