Letter of concern from Boris Drasin, President of the Jersey Homesteads Industrial Cooperative Association
No full textJersey Homesteads (later renamed the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whome had emigrated from Europe. In this letter, Boris Drasin, a community leader who was the President of the Jersey Homesteads Industrial Cooperative Association, expresses his concerns to their management corporation (Consumers Wholesale Clothiers, Inc.) about how financial losses will impact the lives of Roosevelt's residents, three-fourths of whom depended on the garment factory for their livelihoods. He makes suggestions as to how the situation might be improved

Abiotic timeseries (T, S, O2, u, v, Chl a, Turb) obtained from the underwater fish observatory (UFO) in Kiel Fjord (March 2021 - May 2022)
No full textThe dataset contains temperature, salinity, oxygen, velocity, chlorophyll and turbidity data from the stationary underwater fish observatory (UFO). The stationary UFO was deployed at 54°20.4375'N, 10°10.4463'E from 2021/03/05 to 2022/05/18 about 50 m from the eastern shore of the Kiel Fjord, at a depth of 6 m. The abiotic sensor instrumentation consists of an upward looking acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP; Teledyne Workhorse Sentinel 1200 kHz), a pumped conductivity, temperature, and depth sonde (CTD; Sea Bird Scientific MicroCAT) and a combined fluorometer and turbidity sensor (Sea Bird Scientific ECO FLNTUS). All sensors were placed ~1.0 m above the seafloor. Time series data for ADCP, CTD and fluorometer were downloaded and preprocessed to obtain average estimates at a frequency of 1 h. To guarantee the high quality of the measurements and the data output, the sensors are regularly serviced. After each survey, back in the laboratories, the raw data collected at sea are first checked for consistency, and then processed and calibrated according to international standards. To verify and calibrate the T, S, O2, CHL, and Turb data, a vertical CTD profile was measured fortnightly close to the two UFO sites. Additional water samples were taken to determine oxygen levels using the Winkler method and to determine Chlorophyll levels to calibrate the fluorometer
Long-Run Development and the New Cultural Economics
No full textThis paper reviews recent economics literature on culture, with an emphasis on its relation to the field of long-run growth and development. It examines the key issues debated in the new cultural economics: causal effects of culture on economic outcomes, the origins and social costs of culture, as well as cultural transmission, persistence, and change. Some of these topics are illustrated in application to the economic analysis of envy-related culture
Raw data of SCADCP (self-contained Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) from mooring AWI229-7
No full textThe ADCP used was of the type RDI Workhorse Longranger (Teledyne RD Instruments USA, Poway, California), using a four-beam, convex configuration with a beam angle of 20° and a frequency of 76.8 kHz. The instrument was moored at mean depth of 389 m in upward-looking mode and measured horizontal and vertical currents and acoustic backscatter intensity. Heading, pitch and roll, pressure and temperature data were also collected. The number of depth cells was set to 80 with a bin size of 8 m. The sampling interval was set to 1 ping per ensemble with a ping rate of about 1 ping every 4 minutes. The mooring AWI229-7 was deployed in December 2005 during R. V. Polarstern cruise ANT-XXIII/2 and recovered during R. V. Polarstern cruise ANT-XXIV/3 in March 2008.

Making Enterprise Information Systems Resilient Against Disruptive Events: A Conceptual View
No full textEnterprise Information Systems (EIS) are designed to deal with normal variability in their inputs and data. Empowered by CONTEXT-AWARENESS, some EIS even count on sensors and/or data analytics for capturing changes outside of the system. Nevertheless, context-awareness would often fail when EIS are affected by (large-scale) disruptive events, such as disasters, virus outbreaks, or military conflicts. Hence, in the current paper, we take a step forward, by considering context-awareness for disruptive events. We combine context-awareness with risk management techniques, such as FMECA and FTA, that are useful for defining and mitigating risk events. To avoid having to define the likelihood for such very-low-probability disruptive risks, we use CONSEQUENCE-BASED RISK MANAGEMENT rather than traditional risk management. We augment this approach with the context-awareness paradigm, delivering a contribution that is two-fold: (i) We propose context-awareness-related measures and consequence-based-risk-management-related measures, to address disruptive events; (ii) We reflect this in a method featuring the application of context-awareness and risk management for designing robust and resilient EIS.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Policy Analysi

Enforcing context-awareness and privacy-by-design in the specification of information systems
No full textNetworked physical devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and connectivity, allow for run-time acquisition of user data. This in turn can enable information systems which capture the “current” user state and act accordingly. The use of this data would result in context-aware applications that get fueled by user data (and environmental data) to adapt their behavior. Yet the use of data is often restricted by privacy regulations and norms; for example, the location of a person cannot be shared without given consent. In this paper we propose a design approach that allows for weaving context-awareness and privacy-by-design into the specification of information systems. This is to be done since the very early stages of the software development, while the enterprise needs are captured (and understood) and the software features are specified on that basis. In addition to taking into account context-awareness and privacy-sensitivity these two aspects will be balanced, especially if they are conflicting. The presented approach extends the “Software Derived from Business Components” (SDBC) approach. We partially demonstrate our proposed way of modeling, by means of a case example featuring land border security. Our proposed way of modeling would allow developers to smoothly reflect context and privacy features in the application design, supported by methodological guidelines that span over the enterprise modeling and software specification. Those features are captured as technology-independent societal demands and are in the end reflected in technology-specific (software) solutions. Traceability between the two is possible as well as re-use of modeling constructs.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Information and Communication Technolog
