Break-even analysis for a green crab fishery in PEI, Canada
No full textThe Department of Fisheries and Oceans in Canada is experimenting with a commercial fishery on the European green crab (Carcinus maenas), an invasive species in North America, to help reduce the negative impact this animal has on ecosystems and native shellfish populations. We determined the break-even price that fishers would require for green crabs under different fishing scenarios (i.e. different gear and catch per trap per day). We also determined, for a 21 day season, the minimum catch per trap per day for fishermen to break even at market prices of 1/lb, and $3.50/lb. Several scenarios were profitable, but our results suggest the price of crab (dockside) would have to be sufficiently high to motivate fishers to continue the fishing pressure needed to reduce populations of this invasive species. The most economically profitable scenario was a fyke net by-catch fishery, similar to what currently exists on Prince Edward Island during the eel fishing season

Big Data, Big Libraries, Big Problems?: the 2014 LibTech Anti-talk?
No full textThe desire to create automatons is a familiar theme in human history, and during the age of the Enlightenment mechanical automatons became not only an “emblem of the cosmos”, but a symbol of man’s confidence that he would unlock nature’s greatest mysteries and fully harness her power. And yet only a century later, automatons had begun to represent human repression and servitude, a theme later picked up by writers of science fiction. Man’s confidence undeterred, the endgame of the modern scientific and technological mindset, or MSTM, seems to be increasingly coming into view with the rise of “information technology” in general and “Big data” in particular. Along with those who wield them, these can be seen as functioning together as a “mechanical muse” of sorts – surprisingly alluring – and, like a physical automaton can serve as a symbol – a microcosm – of what the MSTM sees (at the very least in practice) as the cosmic machine, our “final frontier”. And yet, individuals who unreflectively participate in these things – giving themselves over to them and seeking the powers afforded by the technology apart from technology’s rightful purposes – in fact yield to the same pragmatism and reductionism those wielding them are captive to. Thus, they ultimately nullify themselves philosophically, politically, and economically – their value increasingly being only the data concerning their persons, and its perceived usefulness. Likewise libraries, the time-honored place of, and symbol for, the intellectual flowering of the individual, will, insofar as they spurn the classical liberal arts (with the idea that things are intrinsically good, and in the case of humans, special as well) in favor of the alluring embrace of MSTM-driven “information technology” and Big data - unwittingly contribute to their irrelevance and demise as they find themselves increasingly less needed, valued, wanted. Likewise for the liberal arts as a whole, and in fact history itself, if the acid of a “science” untethered from what is, in fact, good (intrinsically), continues to gain strengt

No full textPengaruh Variasi Fraksi Serat Plastik Terhadap Kuat Tekan, Kuat Tarik Belah, dan Modulus Elastisitas Beton Ringan
No full textSampah merupakan limbah padat yang memiliki potensi untuk dapat diolah kembali sehingga memiliki nilai ekonomis. Sampah dengan konsentrasi dan kuantitas yang tinggi tentunya akan membawa dampak negatif bagi lingkungan terutama pada kesehatan manusia sehingga perlu dilakukan penangan terhadap limbah padat ini. Daur ulang sering menjadi alternatif solusi bagi penanganan limbah padat. Dibandingkan dengan bahan lain, plastik mempunya kelebihan yaitu bisa didaur ulang kapan saja atau tidak terbatas waktu karena proses ini tidak mengubah struktur plastik ini sendiri. Salah satu alternatif daur ulang pada plastik bekas minuman ini adalah menjadikannya serat, dengan cara membuat limbah plastik tersebut menjadi lempengan datar yang nantinya akan dipotong kecil-kecil dengan ukuran tertentu dan menjadikannya seperti serat-serat. Hal ini membuat peneliti ingin mencari dan memberikan solusi dari permasalahan limbah plastik bekas minuman yaitu dengan cara membuat beton dengan campuran serat plastik minuman bekas dengan variasi fraksi sebesar 10%, 15% dan 20% dari volume beton silinder.
Selain untuk mengetahui pengaruh serat plastik pada campuran beton terhadap kuat tarik, peneliti juga menganalisa pengaruh serat plastik terhadap kuat tekan dan modulus elastisitas beton. Pengujian dilakukan pada beton yang telah berumur 28 hari. Pengujian kuat tarik belah dan kuat tekan menggunakan compression machine, sedangkan uji modulus elastisitas menggunakan extensometer.
Hasil pengujian kuat tarik belah tidak menunjukkan adanya hasil yang optimum pada setiap fraksi serat plastik. Demikian pula dengan pengujian kuat tekan dan uji modulus elastisitas yang menunjukkan bahwa nilai modulus elastisitas tidak memberikan pertambahan hasil yang signifika
Woud: Trek je even terug in je concentratiebubbel
No full textHet was zo’n zonnige lentedag; heerlijk om lekker buiten te zijn. Ik zat binnen, in een vergadering – met de nodige moeite om mijn aandacht erbij te houden. Liever keek ik door het raam naar kersenbloesems. Afgeleid raken, wegdromen ofjuist onrustig zijn en niet stil kunnen zitten. Herkenbaar? Vast wel; iedereen heeft wel eens moeite om zich te concentreren. Maar voor sommige kinderen is dit een dagelijkse worsteling. Hoe ga je daar op een goede manier mee om in eenklaslokaal, een omgeving met constante prikkels en afleiding?

Financial Development, Economic Growth, and Poverty Reduction
No full textThe frequent failure of financial liberalisation efforts in developing countries, and the serious damage which recent financial crises have imposed on these economies, have led to renewed attempts to understand the relationships between financial sector development, economic growth and poverty reduction, and to provide a more robust intellectual foundation on which to design efficient and pro-poor financial sector policies for developing countries. The paper examines the contribution that financial sector development can make to poverty reduction in developing countries. The linkages between financial and economic growth, and between economic growth and poverty reduction, are considered, and some preliminary empirical evidence is presented on these linkages. The paper goes on to argue that financial market imperfections are a key constraint on pro-poor growth, and that public policy directed at the correction of these financial market failures is needed to ensure that financial development contributes effectively to growth and poverty reduction. The final part of the paper examines in some detail the role of financial regulation and supervision policy as a key area for public intervention directed at enhancing the financial sector’s contribution to poverty reduction.
Even-odd harmonics generated from above-threshold ionization
