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

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

ajantol®
No full textBackground. Majantol (R) [2,2-dimethyl-3-(3-methylphenyl) propan-1-ol; CAS no. 103694-68-4] has been identified as a contact allergen in humans, despite negative animal tests. Hence impurities, specifically organochlorines, in Majantol (R) might have been the reason for positive patch test reactions in the past. Objectives. To assess elicitation via patch testing with a standard market-quality version of Majantol (R) ('normal') with a normal content of organochlorine impurities, as compared with an ultra-purified version of Majantol (R) ('pure'), without detectable organochlorine impurities. Methods. Between 1 October 2013 and 31 December 2014, two different Majantol (R) patch test preparations of the above-mentioned quality were tested 5% pet. in parallel in the 'monitor series', that is, together with the baseline series, in 8005 consecutive patients from 33 departments of dermatology of the Information Network of Departments of Dermatology (IVDK). Results. Fifty-three of 7740 [0.69% (95% CI: 0.51-0.87)] patch tested patients reacted to at least one Majantol (R) preparation. The majority (n=32) (60.4%) reacted to both preparations, 13 (24.5%) reacted to the 'normal' version only, and 8 (15.1%) reacted to the 'pure' version only. There was good concordance between results [Cohen's kappa 0.75 (95% CI: 0.65-0.85)], and there was no significant difference in frequency or intensity between the two preparations. More doubtful or irritant reactions than positive reactions were observed, and >80% of all positive reactions were weak positive. Conclusion. Organochlorine impurities are very probably not the cause of allergic reactions to Majantol (R).Symrise A
Control of spawning activity in female Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) (L.) by temperature manipulation
No full textThe aim of this study was to maximize the spawning of Oreochromis niloticus females in a specific time period. Females were divided randomly into control and treatment groups. In the treatment groups, females were kept for one week at 28 +/- 0.5 degrees C, after which they were exposed to a reduced water temperature of 22 +/- 0.5 degrees C for 7, 14 and 28 days. Thereafter, the temperature was restored to 28 degrees C. Females in the control groups were kept continuously at a water temperature of 28 degrees C. All females were checked daily for signs of spawning for the duration of the experiments and were manually stripped if ready to spawn. The following parameters were calculated for period of 3 and 7 days following a 28 degrees C temperature restoration: spawning rate, number of eggs per female, weight of female, relative fecundity (eggs g(-1) body weight) and the percentage of hatched and swim-up fry. The highest spawning rate of 39.5% was obtained in the 14-day trial over a period of 7 days, while the corresponding value in the control was 12.5%. The percentages of hatched and swim-up fry in the 14- and 28-day trials, however, were significantly higher in the controls than in the corresponding treatment groups.Ministry for Science and Culture of Lower Saxon
Il 1914 di Boris Akunin
No full textAfter a brief review of Russian Literature devoted to World War I, the author takes into account the novel Černyj Gorod (The black city) by well-known author Boris Akunin (pen name of Grigorij Šalvovič Čhartišvili), whose literary production can be situated between highbrow and mass literature. In this relatively new (for Russia) area of 'middle literature' Akunin combines classic tradition with detective narrative. In his work he employs 'history' to reconsider the present; particularly in Černyj Gorod the author uses the past – as it is perceived by his hero, Erast Petrovič Fandorin – to reflect on the present. By highlighting the political situation of Russia immediately before World War I, Akunin induces the reader to find political analogies with the current condition of the country

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
