No full textDie Datenkultur im Kontext des wissenschaftlichen Forschungsdatenmanagements unterliegt im Zeitalter der Digitalisierung in der Wissenschaft einem kulturellen Wandel. Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler werden mit vielfältigen digitalen Möglichkeiten konfrontiert und es wird ihnen der verantwortungsvolle Umgang damit abverlangt. Mit zahlreichen Möglichkeiten zur Unterstützung der Wissenschaft beim Aufbau der digitalen Kompetenz und dem Wandel der Datenkultur hin zu einer verlässlichen digitalen Wissenschaft wird dem entgegengetreten
Janna Jones Oral History Interview
No full textDr. Janna Jones, author, screenwriter, and professor of Creative Media and Film at Northern Arizona University, details her experience with the Tampa Theatre. She describes her journey conducting research for her book, The Southern Movie Palace: Rise, Fall, Resurrection, which highlights the historic movie palaces she visited in the South. Dr. Jones compares the Tampa Theatre to those historic theaters, illustrating their history and the types of films shown. She sheds light on segregation within these movie palaces and explores how these buildings have become cultural symbols for their respective cities
Memories in Transition: The Spanish Law of Historical Memory
No full textThe article analyses the Spanish law 52/2007, sometimes referred to as Ley de reparación (Law of Reparation) and more commonly, especially in the mass media, as Ley de memoria histórica (Law of Historical Memory), contextualizing it in the complex and difficult Spanish transition to democracy. The analysis aims to highlight the system of values underlying the Law and its inherent unresolved tensions, by providing a semiotic reading of the text framed within the larger context of its cultural background. The close reading of the legal text become in this way a means of understanding wider social processes – a lens through which we are able to bring such processes into close focus
Black hole blues and other songs from outer space
No full textThe authoritative story of the headline-making discovery of gravitational waves—by an eminent theoretical astrophysicist and award-winning writer. From the author of How the Universe Got Its Spots and A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines, the epic story of the scientific campaign to record the soundtrack of our universe. Black holes are dark. That is their essence. When black holes collide, they will do so unilluminated. Yet the black hole collision is an event more powerful than any since the origin of the universe. The profusion of energy will emanate as waves in the shape of spacetime: gravitational waves. No telescope will ever record the event; instead, the only evidence would be the sound of spacetime ringing. In 1916, Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves, his top priority after he proposed his theory of curved spacetime. One century later, we are recording the first sounds from space, the soundtrack to accompany astronomy’s silent movie. In Black Hole Blues and Other Songs from Outer Space, Janna Levin recounts the fascinating story of the obsessions, the aspirations, and the trials of the scientists who embarked on an arduous, fifty-year endeavor to capture these elusive waves. An experimental ambition that began as an amusing thought experiment, a mad idea, became the object of fixation for the original architects—Rai Weiss, Kip Thorne, and Ron Drever. Striving to make the ambition a reality, the original three gradually accumulated an international team of hundreds. As this book was written, two massive instruments of remarkably delicate sensitivity were brought to advanced capability. As the book draws to a close, five decades after the experimental ambition began, the team races to intercept a wisp of a sound with two colossal machines, hoping to succeed in time for the centenary of Einstein’s most radical idea. Janna Levin’s absorbing account of the surprises, disappointments, achievements, and risks in this unfolding story offers a portrait of modern science that is unlike anything we’ve seen before
5 Datentransfer und –nachnutzung
No full textDer Datentransfer und die Datennachnutzung im Kontext des Forschungsdatenmanagements stehen im Zusammenhang mit der Zugänglichkeit von Daten im Rahmen des Publikationsprozesses. Dabei beziehen sich die Anforderungen beim Zugang zu Forschungsdaten in der Praxis auf die jeweilig unterschiedliche Perspektive der Forschenden als Datenproduzierende oder Datennutzende. Eine Nachnutzung von Forschungsdaten steht dabei oftmals in Relation mit deren Publikation
Konzept zum Forschungsdatenmanagement an der Leibniz Universität Hannover
No full textDas Thema Forschungsdatenmanagement (FDM) wurde an der Leibniz Universität Hannover im Sommer 2014 offiziell durch das Präsidium der Universität mit dem Auftrag einer Konzeptentwicklung zum Umgang mit Forschungsdaten in Angriff genommen. Der Entwurf wurde von einem einrichtungsübergreifendem Team, bestehend aus Vertretern des Dezernates für Forschung, des Rechenzentrums und der Technischen Informationsbibliothek entwickelt. Er enthält Bausteine zur Erarbeitung einer Richtlinie und einer technischen Infrastruktur und beschreibt zudem den Aufbau von Beratungsund Schulungsangeboten für Forschende der Leibniz Universität Hannover. Seit Ende 2016 befindet sich die erarbeitete und vom Präsidium verabschiedete Gesamtstrategie in der Umsetzung
The future of the Internet IV
No full textA survey of nearly 900 Internet stakeholders reveals fascinating new perspectives on the way the Internet is affecting human intelligence and the ways that information is being shared and rendered.
The web-based survey gathered opinions from prominent scientists, business leaders, consultants, writers and technology developers. It is the fourth in a series of Internet expert studies conducted by the Imagining the Internet Center at Elon University and the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project. In this report, we cover experts\u27 thoughts on the following issues:
Will Google make us stupid?
Will the internet enhance or detract from reading, writing, and rendering of knowledge?
Is the next wave of innovation in technology, gadgets, and applications pretty clear now, or will the most interesting developments between now and 2020 come “out of the blue”?
Will the end-to-end principle of the internet still prevail in 10 years, or will there be more control of access to information?
Will it be possible to be anonymous online or not by the end of the decade?
“Three out of four experts said our use of the Internet enhances and augments human intelligence, and two-thirds said use of the Internet has improved reading, writing and rendering of knowledge,” said Janna Anderson, study co-author and director of the Imagining the Internet Center. “There are still many people, however, who are critics of the impact of Google, Wikipedia and other online tools.”

Housing-first eller behandling först- En studie i hur socialsekreterare argumenterar kring modellen Housing-first
No full textAbstract Title: Housing-First or Treatment first-a study of social workers´discussions of the Housing-first model. Author: Janna Svensson The aim of this study is to examine the way in which social workers dealing with issues of homelessness in Swedish local councils consider the new approach to housing of homeless persons called the Housing First model, with particular focus on the arguments used in their assessment of the model.The attitudes of social workers towards the Housing First model are of crucial importance, because the decision to recommend models of rapid re-housing lies with the individual administrator. The Housing First model is a new approach to issues of homelessness within the Swedish context, and a philosophy more or less the opposite to the current way in which issues of homelessness are managed. The study is based on semi-structured interviews with social workers responsible for the administration of issues of homelessness in three Swedish local councils; Malmö, Helsingborg and Göteborg. The analyses is based on a social constructivism theory with particular focus on categorization, organization theory and Michael Lipskys theory about the dilemmas of street level bureaucrats. The theoretical device “accounts” has also been used in the analyses so further analyze the social workers statements. The study concludes that the decision to employ Housing First solutions is dependent on the characterization of the individual client in terms of their suitability for various models of housing support, as well as the influence of external agents, chiefly landlords
