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

Pomen Petrovaradina u Ekthesis chronike iz XVI veka
No full textEkthesis chronike is a XVI century work written by an anonymous author. This author or compiler gives some data on our regions as well. The topic of this work is the part of the chronicle which relates to the Ottoman conquest of Hungary, especially to the mention of Petrovaradin, i. e. its’ siege and conquest by the Turks in 1526. The data provided by Ekthesis chronike is analyzed and compared with other contemporary sources, especially Turkish and Hungarian. Even though it is written in a popular manner and contains some mistakes, this chronicle is a very interesting source for late Byzantine history, but also for the period after the fall of Constantinople and Ottoman conquests during the XVI century
The Greek charter of the Hungarian King Stephen I
No full textThe first Hungarian Christian ruler, King Stephen I (997-1038) issued several
charters that have survived to this day. One of them is the charter issued
on behalf of the nuns from the Monastery of the Holy Theotokos in
Veszprémvölgy. The charter was written in the Greek language, and has been
the subject of many studies. The original has not been preserved; what
remains is a copy from the time of King Coloman, dated to 1109. The charter
has not been published in a critical edition in any language other than
Hungarian and even though it has been examined by numerous Hungarian
scholars, many questions remain open. The aim of the author is to provide a
critical edition and an English translation of the charter, but also to
clarify some remaining doubts about the charter and its contents.
Furthermore, some comparisons will be made with the Byzantine charters
issued at the beginning of the 11th and during the 12th century
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
Poetry as Vision: “Mont Blanc” by Shelley
No full textThe Shelleyan Power that hides its true shape and secret strength behind or beneath a dread mountain (as in Mont Blanc) speaks forth through the poet’s confrontation with it, which is the very act of writing his work of art, and the Power, rightly interpreted, can be used to repeal the large code of fraud, institutional and historical Christianity, and the equally massive code of woe, the laws of the nation-states of Europe in the age of Castlereagh and Metternich. This faith, this certainty in a Power is the essence of the Shelleyan aesthetic
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
