The long and short of it. Being the recollections and reminiscences of Edna Bold
No full textThe Burnett Archive of Working Class Autobiographies was gathered together by John Burnett, David Vincent and David Mayall whilst compiling their three volumes annotated bibliography, "The Autobiography of the Working Class" (Harvester Press, 1984-1989). This book includes descriptions of unpublished autobiographies and indicates their locations. Excerpts from some of the autobiographies have been published in "Destiny obscure: autobiographies of childhood, education, and family from the1820s to the 1920s", edited by John Burnett (Routledge 1994 and A. Lane, 1982). The authors "sought to identify not only the large numbers of printed works scattered in various local history libraries and record offices, but also extant private memoirs, many of which remain hidden in family attics, known only to the author and a handful of relatives" (Introduction to vol.1, p. xxix). The criteria for inclusion were: the writers were working class for at least part of their lives; they wrote in English; and they lived for some time in England, Scotland or Wales between 1790 and 1945. John Burnett was professor of social history at Brunel University from 1972 to 1990.The memoirs of Edna Bold, born in Manchester (1904). Bold supplies a detailed account of childhood games, leisure and schooling. Bold also comments on family and ancestry, sex education, Ancoats Brotherhood and L.S. Lowry. The memoir contains additional reflections on 1960s youth culture and popular music
Jouw buurt, jouw data: Uitkomsten van de onderzoeksgame over kennis, houding en gedrag van burgers in de slimme stad
No full textVanaf oktober 2018 onderzocht een team van het Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Centre for BOLD Cities een jaar lang wat verschillende Nederlanders weten en vinden van de manieren waarop gegevens worden verzameld in de openbare ruimte. Het onderzoek werd opgezet in de vorm van een interactieve online game, ‘Jouw buurt, jouw data’, die mensen zowel thuis als op verschillende evenementen konden spelen. De uitkomsten van het onderzoeksproject zijn te lezen in deze uitgave.Design & Construction Managemen

Bold Talk, Bold Action: Meeting Changing User Needs
No full textThis keynote address emphasizes the continuing evolution of libraries from fixed physical sites to complete integration within their communities. The author reviews recent changes in users’ needs and speculates on demands that will emerge in the near future. She uses case studies of library and information services that support academic communities, including the recent emergence of research/scholars commons that reflect the recognition that faculty and graduate students require services that are distinctly different than those needed by undergraduate students. The author also discusses currently emerging research management support systems that are being developed and delivered in collaboration with other campus entities and speculate on what demands might be in the offing and how they can be met best by developing new models such as those in which librarians and other information professionals are sited within the users’ physical facilities or embedded electronically through web-based services and that require new skills and expertise.Submitted by Paula Kaufman ([email protected]) on 2015-03-25T14:51:11Z

Charles the Bold
No full textBrigham Young University history professor De Lamar Jensen lived in France in 1965, when this essay was written. Jensen gives a brief sketch of Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, who craved a loftier title and a united empire stretching from the Mediterranean to the North Sea, encompassing France and Germany. Fearless and power hungry, Charles the Bold lacked diplomacy. He angered his European neighbors and suffered defeat at their hands. The author daringly asserts that Charles the Bold and Charles de Gaulle have much in common, including ambition, policies, and obstinacy. Jensen concludes that de Gaulle would benefit from learning the lessons of history and studying the life of Charles the Bold
Bold Cities: Building a decision-making supportive tool through exploration of BOLD methods to assess sustainability in landscape architecture projects
No full textProjects of re-use of underused infrastructures to design sustainable urban landscape architecture represent a great contribution to meet the need for sustainability cities are experiencing today. Urban administrators often strive for a successful realization of such projects, to give a social and economic power impulse to poorly performant neighbourhoods. In some cases, though, a balance between the three dimensions of sustainability (environmental, social and economic) is a hard matter to achieve. Indeed, in some occasions, the neighbourhood-boosting role takes over, leading to the establishment of mechanisms that might only partially work from a sustainable viewpoint. Big Open Linked Data (BOLD) methods are offering new opportunities to design decision-making models for urban planning and management. The combination of social media, census, sensors and traditional data gives a new perspective to solve modern urban challenges through a holistic and inclusive approach. Compared to the mere use of traditional sources, BOLD methods rely on a bigger-scale, more accurate, real-time, data set. In this research, BOLD potential is explored to estimate the extent to which it can help solving the described urban issue. Therefore, the research question can be addressed as follows: How can BOLD help city planners and managers determining the real-time and holistic impact on social, environmental and economic dynamics in projects of re-use of obsolete or underused infrastructures? How could these projects enhance sustainable benefits without neglecting the positive economic and social impact for the neighbourhood? An in-depth literature study on public parks and brownfield redevelopments can help setting criteria and variables related to sustainability. For each of these variables, it is established whether a BOLD approach could bring more satisfactory results on a selected case study, the High Line Park, in New York. The final product is a framework that serves as decision-making supportive tool, to assess through BOLD and traditional data combined the way these aspects of sustainability connect to each other in such projects. Finally, the framework is tested and adapted to a case study in Rotterdam, the Hofbogen viaduct redevelopment. This case study in the Netherlands is not only useful to test the validity of the framework built in a different context, but it serves the purpose of solving the main problem concerning this case study: social sustainability. Indeed, the framework is used to improve this aspect thorough the next phases of the redevelopment, defining a frame for both project and neighbourhood assessment and inclusive participatory model for all stakeholders involved
External drivers of BOLD signal's non-stationarity
No full textA fundamental challenge in neuroscience is to uncover the principles governing how the brain interacts with the external environment. However, assumptions about external stimuli fundamentally constrain current computational models. We show in silico that unknown external stimulation can produce error in the estimated linear time-invariant dynamical system. To address these limitations, we propose an approach to retrieve the external (unknown) input parameters and demonstrate that the estimated system parameters during external input quiescence uncover spatiotemporal profiles of external inputs over external stimulation periods more accurately. Finally, we unveil the expected (and unexpected) sensory and task-related extra-cortical input profiles using functional magnetic resonance imaging data acquired from 96 subjects (Human Connectome Project) during the resting-state and task scans. This dynamical systems model of the brain offers information on the structure and dimensionality of the BOLD signal's external drivers and shines a light on the likely external sources contributing to the BOLD signal's non-stationarity. Our findings show the role of exogenous inputs in the BOLD dynamics and highlight the importance of accounting for external inputs to unravel the brain's time-varying functional dynamics.Team Sergio Pequit
