Get PDFEach year, we choose a paper for the Editors’ Award, normally from among those nominated by the Coordinating Editors (no money is handed out). This year,
the voting was tied, so we settled for two joint winners: Walker et al. (2003) and Bakker & Olff (2003). We had another problem this time: one of the papers
nominated had a Chief Editor as a subsidiary author and another had the daughter of a Chief Editor as the first author. According to our rules a paper with a Chief
Editor as first author can never win, and once we have a shortlist a Chief Editor cannot vote on a paper that his/her name appears on. We considered fiercer rules than this, but we thought it unfair for a young scientist to miss out on an award because s/he was associated with a Chief Editor. Anyway, as it turned out the two Chief Editors with any possible conflict of interest did not vote at all. In spite of this, the name of one Chief Editor appears on one of the joint awardees, and the daughter
of a Chief Editor on another. Sorry. We tried not to.Fil: Wilson, J. Bastow. University of Otago; Nueva ZelandaFil: White, Peter S.. University of North Carolina; Estados UnidosFil: Bakker, Jan P..

Additive manufacturing for circular product design: A literature review from a design perspective
No full textCircular product design is a relatively new approach to design suitable strategies to realize circular products. Additive manufacturing (AM) is seen as a promising enabling production process. It has digital and additive characteristics, which makes AM different from conventional production techniques. However, it is yet unclear how this technique can contribute to circular product design in practice. In this paper, a literature review is placed in context, i.e. the results of a literature review on sustainability opportunities in AM are compared to five typical design cases in a design review. The outcomes of the literature study reveal the aspects of the digital and additive characteristics of AM, that lead to potential sustainability opportunities. We compared these aspects to the circular design strategies as described by Bakker et al. (2014) and Bocken et al. (2016) in the context of the five selected design projects. Each project is described in terms of circular design strategies and how these were achieved through additive manufacturing.Using design practice to reflect on the outcomes of the literature review resulted in a better understanding of the potential of additive manufacturing for circular product design. The relation between the sustainability aspects of AM and the circular design strategies were made explicit. AM seems to be especially suitable to customize parts to fit existing products and to contribute to new opportunities regarding material recycling. These findings deserve further exploration in order to understand the motives for implementation in circular product design.Circular Product Desig

Pieter Bakker Schut (1877-1952), manager in stedenbouw
Get PDFIt is impossible to study the history of Dutch public housing and urban planning in the twentieth century without repeatedly coming across the name Pieter Bakker Schut. From 1904 onwards, he was chairman of the Sociaal-Technische Vereeniging van Democratische Ingenieurs en Architecten (STV, Social-Technical Society of Democratic Engineers and Architects) and from 1918 a member of the board of the Nederlands Instituut voor Volkshuisvesting (NIV, Netherlands Institute of Housing). In that same year he was appointed director of the Dienst Stadsontwikkeling en Volkshuisvesting (DSV, Department of Urban Planning and Public Housing) in The Hague. In this capacity he was directly involved in the problems of this, by Dutch standards, big city, which was also the fastest growing city in the Randstad urban cluster in the first half of the twentieth century.
Unlike many of his contemporary directors of municipal urban planning departments, he was neither a designer nor an academic. His career unfolded at the interface between practical work and the systematization and professionalization of urban planning as an autonomous discipline. His role in this period of transition was one of directing and inspiring. As such, Bakker Schut’s main significance for Dutch urban planning lies in what much later came to be regarded as a form of management. In effect, he anticipated a way of working that only gradually became common practice in Dutch urban planning after the Second World War.
Recent decades have seen the publication of detailed studies of several urban planners and researchers, such as the biographies of T.K. Van Lohuizen (Arnold van der Valk, 1990), C. van Eesteren (Vincent van Rossem, 1993) and W.G. Witteveen (Noor Mens, 2007). Although more than one publication mentions Pieter Bakker Schut as an influential figure, he has never been the focus of a study. Despite his forward-looking approach, Bakker Schut’s influence on Dutch urban planning has yet to receive the attention it deserves.
This article examines Bakker Schut’s career as a manager in urban planning. The emphasis is on the positions he held in the aforementioned bodies and his contributions to the main themes of the Woningwet (National Housing Act): public housing (1901), urban planning (1921) and regional planning (1931). The aim of this biographical sketch is to draw attention to a neglected aspect of the evolution of Dutch urban planning, and at the same time provide the initial impetus for further research into Bakker Schut. It is at any rate clear from this sketch that his extensive body of work and the offices he held during his career merit such a study. So too the career and work of his son, Frits Bakker Schut, who continued in his father’s footsteps and has likewise yet to be the subject of a study

The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
The people behind the papers – Dennis de Bakker, Mara Bouwman and Jeroen Bakkers
No full textUnlike mammals, adult zebrafish are capable of regenerating their hearts without scarring after injury – a process that has great therapeutic potential. A new paper in Development investigates the role of Prxx1b, a transcription factor that is expressed in epicardial heart tissue after injury, to understand its role in the scar-free regeneration of the adult zebrafish heart. To hear more about the study, we caught up with joint first authors, Dennis De Bakker and Mara Bouwman, and the corresponding author, Jeroen Bakkers, the group leader at the Hubrecht Institute and professor of Molecular Cardiogenetics at the University Medical Center in Utrecht, The Netherlands
The TRB West Group
Get PDFIn 1979 the by now classic work on the pottery of the TRB West group of Jan Albert Bakker was published. In his book Bakker deals with the research history and typochronology of the TRB pottery. Also he gives a detailed account of the other TRB finds such as flint and stone artefacts and of course the most important TRB sites. Over the years this book has become a standard-work for anyone who is interested in hunebeds and their makers. The author wrote a new introduction to this reprint in which he describes how the book of 1979 came together and the research that has been carried out since then
