Full textAbstract:
The role of the higher education institutions’ libraries in building and maintaining the institution’s open archives is highlighted. The author emphasize that open archives are demanded highly by the scientific community as the data is free. The open archive structured by disciplinary or interdisciplinary principle can become the base for informal associations (collaborations, consortia, etc.) around science schools or research centers (faculties, institutions, universities, research organizations). Expanded functionalities and instruments to get scientometric indicators are analyzed in detail. These functions make the alternative source for measuring scientific performance of organizations and individual researchers systematically and adequately. The librarians responsibilities related to collecting and preparing scientometric indicators are highlighted. The open archives, institutional repositories, e-libraries can provide both traditional scientometric indicators (impact factors, Hirsch index, etc.), and alternative metrics (publication web indicators). Scientometric data collection, accumulation, interpretation and preparation are continuously expanding processes and they enhance the librarians’ roles.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines controversies arising from the perception of the instruments of cultural memory and the logic of their transmissibility. On the one hand we have a carefully selected, temporally and geographically orchestrated body of texts, the Great Books, which are an enduring testament to the authority of Western intellectual artifacts. On the other hand, Jacques Derrida’s Archive Fever locates a furtive transformation of collective memory in the informal practices exemplified by oral narrative and public discourse. Not only do both models rely on archives as a functional instrument of collective identity, but they also value them as institutions circumscribing social and cultural conventions. However, when synchronizing the traces embedded in oral discourse and written documents, the repositories are frequently subject to manipulation by interpretive communities. Recognizing the processes underlying archives and artifacts is essential to comprehending how canons and canonic practices impact Western cultural memory.

Full textAbstract:
Readers of Leslie Bessant's article in HA 24 (1997) on the National Archives of Zimbabwe (NAZ) might have been alarmed by one of the photographs opposite the opening page, which depicted an archive in a state of advanced decay. If they had expected the photograph to be a pictorial representation of the current condition of NAZ, they would have been disappointed. The photograph was taken in the Sāo Tomé e Príncipe archives and accompanied a short note detailing the recovery work undertaken in those archives to make them usable. NAZ is a flourishing national archive which is a pleasure to work in, staffed by professional and conscientious personnel, but it is also bearing the brunt of cuts in funding and government suspicion of researchers. I worked intensively at NAZ for nine months in 1994-95, and again for five months in 1996. This paper is by way of an informal engagement with Bessant's article; in it I aim to sketch out my own reminiscences of NAZ and also address some of the issues which face overseas researchers in Zimbabwe.Bessant spent a sizeable part of his article discussing tea, and the notions of privilege associated with tea at NAZ. Tea under the flagpoles became an institution for me. Not only was the tea absurdly cheap (Z$0.40/US$0.04 in 1994, rising to Z$1 a few months later), but the break was a useful refueling exercise during grueling days looking at dusty files. Rather than fading in significance as Bessant suggested, tea was extremely prominent in the day of the typical researcher. Tea was also the best way of networking with other scholars in the Archives, and almost all the useful conversations I had there revolved around the tea break—which sometimes became the lunch break if debates were intense. I made many professional contacts and personal friendships over tea at the Archives.

Informal inferential reasoning has shown some promise in developing students’ deeper understanding of statistical processes. This paper presents a framework to think about three key principles of informal inference – generalizations ‘beyond the data,’ probabilistic language, and data as evidence. The authors use primary school classroom episodes and excerpts of interviews with the teachers to illustrate the framework and reiterate the importance of embedding statistical learning within the context of statistical inquiry. Implications for the teaching of more powerful statistical concepts at the primary school level are discussed. First published May 2009 at Statistics Education Research Journal: Archives

Full textAbstract:
There is growing recognition of the importance of developing young students’ informal inferential reasoning (IIR). This focus on informal inference in school statistics has implications for teacher education. This study reports on 26 preservice teachers utilizing Lesson Study to support a focus on the teaching of IIR in primary classrooms. Participants demonstrated proficiency reasoning about the elements fundamental to informal inferential reasoning but had difficulties developing pedagogical contexts to advance primary students’ informal inferential reasoning. Specifically, issues emerged relating to data type, an excessive focus on procedures, locating opportunities for IIR, and a lack of justification and evidence-based reading. Focusing on the lesson as the unit of analysis combined with classroom-based inquiry supported the development of statistical and pedagogical knowledge.

Informal inferential reasoning is a relatively recent concept in the research literature. Several research studies have defined this type of cognitive process in slightly different ways. In this paper, a working definition of informal inferential reasoning based on an analysis of the key aspects of statistical inference, and on research from educational psychology, science education, and mathematics education is presented. Based on the literature reviewed and the working definition, suggestions are made for the types of tasks that can be used to study the nature and development of informal inferential reasoning. Suggestions for future research are offered along with implications for teaching.

Horn, Roger. "Memories, material culture, and methodology: employing multiple filmic formats, forms, and informal archives in anthropological research among Zimbabwean migrant women." Doctoral thesis, Faculty of Humanities, 2019. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/30378.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation offers two components: the first, a written thesis, is focused on memories, material culture, and methodology in the representation of female Zimbabwean migrants in Cape Town, South Africa. The second component comprises four films, which utilize multiple unconventional methodological approaches including split-screen presentation, found footage filmmaking, and combined film and digital footage in order to contribute to knowledge of the long-term transnational migrant experience through a sensory examination of memories and material culture in both South Africa and Zimbabwe. Since gaining independence in 1980, Zimbabwe has faced many challenges as the result of poor economic and political decisions carried out by recently ousted former President Robert Mugabe and his ZANU-PF political party, amplified by international sanctions and corruption. The problems within Zimbabwe have led to approximately 25% of its population leaving the country, many of whom have migrated to Zimbabwe’s long-time ally South Africa. This mass movement of people has resulted in profound effects upon the region as many Zimbabweans arrive in an unwelcoming South African society and face multiple challenges including obtaining work permits and jobs, and are often the victims of xenophobic verbal and physical abuse, with multiple reports revealing that 90% or more of these migrants remitted to family members in Zimbabwe who were dependent upon remittances for survival (von Burgsdorff, 2012:15). Through my engagement with traditional ethnographic research methods, unconventional visual research methods, and working with informal archives, such as found 8mm footage, Super 8mm footage, and YouTube videos I have spent four years researching the crossroads of memories and material culture in Zimbabwe and South Africa. I produced four films to accompany this written thesis, each of which emerged from sustained analysis of my material, reflections upon the form and content, and gathering feedback from my interlocutors during and after the assembly of each film. In addition to contributing to an understanding of the role memories and material culture serve in the lives of the women with whom I worked to produce this work, this dissertation seeks to provide new ways to envision an engagement with visual media to convey the complexity of migrants’ daily lives.

Previous issue date: 2008-02-14The objective is to understand the theoretical-conceptual and methodologies particularities that compose the vocabulary control elaboration (documentary process) and the controlled vocabulary (documentary product) under the archivist view. In a close-search approach of quality nature tries to review, from the dialogue with the Information Science, particularly with the Organization and Information Treatment area, with the purpose of learning the main postulates theoretical-conceptual and methodologies to assist the construction of this process. Shows evolutive stage of thinking and archivist making, aiming at understanding the social-historical movement of its area, schemes a brief systematization distinguishing some differences and institutional similarities among: Archives, Libraries and Documentation Cores. It is also shown the chief contributions of Documentation Movement in the deconstruction of paradigms and its impact in the organization practices and information treatment. Reviews the concept evolution of triad: Archive, document and information since custodial paradigm to post-custodial, moreover delimits reputably the particularities of archivist information. Emphasizes the need to understand the archivist institutions as to information system in the informational perspective imposed by the context of post-modernity, with eminence to theoretic-concepts implications related to representation process and recovery of documental contents trying to delimit reputably the elements: documents, data, information and knowledge as a matter of management in the recovery information system. Approaches the framework theoreticalconceptual concerning to organization process, representation and recovery of archivist information. Schemes some considerations as for the legitimate of subject/theme, as access point to permanent files. Shows a brief contribution to General Terminology Theory, in order to, contribute to the vocabulary control process, Moreover, systemize a short historic and theoretical-conceptual course of controlled vocabulary (documentary product). At last, presents prepositions in search for a methodology to the development of Controlled vocabularies in the archivist scope. It follows that the control of vocabulary and the controlled vocabulary contemplate recourses and methodological devices to assist the organization and treatment of archivist information.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on Paradox Interactive's information seeking as a process in the construction of historical computer games. The study is collecting data through a series of interviews with two professional groups: Content designers and 3D graphics. The study focuses on the role of information gathering as a internal process in the creation of the game but also on how the two professions, which have been involved in the study's interviews, gather information relevant to their specific tasks. The study also touches on whether it exists a connection between how Content designers and 3D graphics conduct their searches for information and the ABM sector (that is archives, libraries and museums) as sources/distributors of information. The study has resulted in knowledge regarding the professional groups' information behaviour, what factors that affect the process of gathering information. The study has also resulted in an awareness regarding what kind of information sources that are attractive. Furthermore, the interviews conducted have produced information on how archives, libraries and museums function as information sources for the selected professional groups. The information gathered through the interviews shows that archives, libraries and museums are not used as information sources by the professional groups. Reasons as to why this is the case are a lack of awareness as well as the professional groups' various needs, such as right content and easy accessibility. Games which are utilising or relate to popular history are a clear aspect of modern days popular culture. There exists an abundance of games which relate to history whether they are historical strategy-focused computer games or more action-packed videogames constructed around historical events and contexts. There exists an equally abundance of studies which focuses on games in certain aspects; one such area of research is how history is utilised in games. This study, as noted above, doesn't focus on the games themselves or how they utilise history but rather on the specific question of how the developers gather the information about the past, what sources that exists, and how archives, libraries and museums can better accommodate game creators as a specific group of information gatherers and users.

With a subpoena in one hand and a donor agreement in the other, what choice should an ethical archivist make? Since the legal battle over the Belfast Project—a collection of oral histories from Northern Irish paramilitaries about their involvement in the Troubles—at Boston College erupted in 2011, such a scenario has become a reality. With U.S. attorneys demanding access in the name of truth and justice, and historians advocating denial for the sake of scholarship and honor, the archival profession is facing some troubling legal and ethical issues. Regardless of the ultimate fate of the Belfast Project, the archival field will have to adapt to a new reality. This reality will have to consider the effects of the law and oral history practices on archives. Should archives be granted privilege recognized within the legal system? Should there be oversight for oral histories? Should archives offer privacy protections for third parties? How can the archival community address these issues? This thesis will use the Belfast Project to analyze legal and ethical issues facing archivists and explore what this means for the future of the profession.text

Morton, Robert. A Life of Sir Harry Parkes. GB Folkestone: Amsterdam University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.5117/9781912961160.
Full textAbstract:
Harry Parkes was at the heart of Britain’s relations with the Far East from the start of his working life at fourteen, to his death at fifty-seven. Orphaned at the age of five, he went to China on his own as a child and worked his way to the top. God-fearing and fearless, he believed his mission was to bring trade and ‘civilisation’ to East Asia. In his day, he was seen as both a hero and a monster and is still bitterly resented in China for his part in the country’s humiliations at Western hands, but largely esteemed in Japan for helping it to industrialise. Morton’s new biography, the first in over thirty years, and benefiting in part from access to the Parkes’ family and archives, offers a more intimate and informed profile of the personal and professional life of a Victorian titan and one of Britain’s most undiplomatic diplomats in the history of the British Civil Service.

Full textAbstract:
Kingship and Polity on the Himalayan Borderland explores the modern transformation of state and society in the Indian Himalaya. Centred on three Rajput led-kingdoms during the transition to British rule (c. 1790-1840) and their interconnected histories, it demonstrates how border making practices engendered a modern reading of ‘tradition’ that informs communal identities to this day. Countering the common depiction of these states as all-male, caste-exclusive entities, it reveals the strong familial base of Rajput polity, wherein women — and regent queens in particular — played a key role alongside numerous non-Rajput groups. Drawing on rich archival records, rarely examined local histories, and nearly two decades of ethnographic research, it offers an alternative to the popular and scholarly discourses that developed with the rise of colonial knowledge. The analysis exposes the cardinal contribution of borderland spaces to the fabrication of group identities. This book will interest historians and anthropologists of South Asia and of the Himalaya, as well as scholars working on postcolonialism, gender, and historiography.

A groundbreaking text designed to simplify and demystify archival and recordkeeping theory and its role in modern day practice. Its great strength is in articulating the core principles and issues that shape the discipline but also the impact and relevance they have for the 21st century professional. It will outline and explore what practitioners do as well as why they do it and how critical this underlying rationale is to their success using an accessible approach. Key topics covered include: what is a record? nature and characteristics; appraisal and the value of archives; theoretical approaches to arrangement and description; the role of recordkeeping in society; the impact of philosophy and postmodernism; ethical issues. This is essential reading for students and educators in archives and recordkeeping and invaluable as a guide for practitioners who want to better understand and inform their day-to-day work. It is also a useful guide across related disciplines in the humanities such as history, philosophy and literary studies.

This introductory chapter discusses the history of anarchism from the perspective of migration history. Utilizing sources in half a dozen languages and from archives on both sides of the Atlantic, it outlines the transnational origins and local development of Yiddish and Italian anarchism in America. As a study of a mobile group of revolutionaries belonging to a global movement, the book describes how people, ideas, literature, institutions, and assets traversed the United States along the myriad connections of anarchists' expanding informal networks. To illustrate, the chapter alternates between referring to linguistically defined Italian and Yiddish anarchist movements; the geographically defined American, Italian, and Russian anarchist movements with which the Italian- and Yiddish-speaking movements overlapped; and the global anarchist movement of which all were constituent parts.

Full textAbstract:
For more than three hundred years, Mexico City’s Baratillo marketplace was synonymous with crime, vice, and the most disreputable elements of urban society. Despite countless attempts to disband it, the Baratillo persevered, outlasting Spanish colonial rule and dozens of republican governments. In the twentieth century, transformed the neighborhood of Tepito it into a global hub of black-market commerce. Black Market Capital argues that the Baratillo and the broader shadow economy—which combined illicit, informal, and second-hand exchanges—have been central to the economy and the politics of Mexico City since the seventeenth century. The Baratillo benefited a wide swath of urban society, fostering unlikely alliances between elite merchants, government officials, newspaper editors, and street vendors. Vendors in the Baratillo turned their market’s economic appeal into political clout, petitioning colonial and national-era officials and engaging in the capital’s public sphere to defend their livelihoods. Using records from municipal and national archives in Mexico City, newspapers, travelers’ accounts, and novels, Black Market Capital reconstructs the history of one of Mexico City’s most enduring yet least understood institutions. It provides a new perspective on the relationship between urban politics, the informal economy, and public space in Mexico City between the seventeenth and the twentieth centuries.

This chapter deploys Diana Taylor’s terms of archive and repertoire to study Jana Natya Manch’s gender plays situating them in the debate between Indian socialism and feminism since the 1970s. Considering the troupe’s gender analysis as it coconstitutes their ideology for life, it demonstrates the troupe’s contributions to enriching the trade union movement, whilst mourning their neglect of informal, domestic labor, sexwork and caste intersectionalities. Janam’s archive of gender plays reflects the certainties of their ideology, whereas their repertoire unsettles, renders vulnerable, and opens up this ideology to the powerful potential of the unanticipated and messy in experiences of gender violence, activism, knowledge and labor. Archive and repertoire constitute two dimensions of the hunger called theatre—willful transgression and emotional intensities that nonetheless signify revolt.

Full textAbstract:
Not about Haiti but about the haunting power of its revolution, The Archive of Fear explores the traumatic force field that continued to inflect U.S. discussions of slavery and abolition both before and after the Civil War, sometimes with surprising intensity and endurance. Focusing on U.S. slavery and its aftermath in the nineteenth century, it challenges the long-assumed distinction between psychological and cultural-historical theories of trauma, discovering a virtual dialogue between three central U.S. writers and Sigmund Freud concerning the traumatic response of slavery’s perpetrators. To do so, it shows how trauma theory before Freud first involves a return to an overlap between crisis, insurrection, and mesmerism found in the work of Frederick Douglass, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and W. E. B. Du Bois. Mesmer’s “crisis state” has long been read as the precursor to hypnosis, the tool Freud famously rejected when he created psychoanalysis. But the story of what was lost to trauma theory when Freud adopted the “talk cure” can be told through cultural disruptions of New World slavery, especially after mesmerism arrived in Saint Domingue where its implication in the Haitian revolution in both reality and fantasy had an impact on the history of emancipation in the United States. The Archive of Fear argues that a strain of trauma theory and practice comes alive in the temporal and spatial disruptions of New World slavery—and that key elements of that theory still inform the infrastructure of race relations today. Reviewing trauma theory through its pre-Freudian roots—especially as the alarm of slavery’s perpetrators relates to the temporal patterns of Mesmer’s “crisis state”—widens our sense of the affective atmospheres through which emancipation had to be sought. And it illuminates the fugitive approach Douglass, Stowe, and Du Bois devised to confront and defuse the archive of fear still blocking full emancipation today.

For refugees living in camps, in some cases for as long as generations, the link between citizenship and property ownership becomes strained. How do refugees protect these assets and preserve communal ties? How do they maintain a sense of identity and belonging within chaotic settings? Protection Amid Chaos follows people as they develop binding claims on assets and resources in challenging political and economic spaces. Focusing on Palestinians living in refugee camps in Lebanon and Jordan, it shows how the first to arrive developed flexible though legitimate property rights claims based on legal knowledge retained from their homeland, subsequently adapted to the restrictions of refugee life. As camps increased in complexity, refugees merged their informal institutions with the formal rules of political outsiders, devising a broader, stronger system for protecting their assets and culture from predation and state incorporation. For this book, Nadya Hajj conducted interviews with two hundred refugees. She consults memoirs, legal documents, and findings in the United Nations Relief Works Agency archives. Her work reveals the strategies Palestinian refugees have used to navigate their precarious conditions while under continuous assault and situates their struggle within the larger context of communities living in transitional spaces.

AbstractThis chapter studies the influence of Western archaeological organisations on scientific and diplomatic issues in interwar Palestine. It analyses their role on a local scale and the establishment of a scientific network of archaeologists in Palestine from 1918 to 1938. The analysis from the archives of six schools and societies founded by Western powers in Jerusalem revealing the increasing influence of American scholars in the archaeological field. It asks what motivated American actors to invest in the archaeological field and related diplomatic issues, as the US government did not have direct political power in the Middle East at that time. It ultimately demonstrates the presence of informal American imperialism in scientific and diplomatic issues in relation to the British authorities during the Mandate period.

In this article, Michael Fuhr and Matthias Lewy discuss the potentials and challenges of dealing with and exhibiting sounds and sound concepts of indigenous peoples and ask if and how ethnographically-informed sound curation can help 'decolonize' the museum. Drawing on historical recordings of the Selk'nam, Yagán and the Pémon, they show that ethical concerns with the ways of how European institutions handle these recordings are inextricably entwined with unresolved questions of who should possess authority and representational power over the recorded and archived sounds. Acknowledging indigenous sound ontologies can challenge the representational mode in European museum and archival spaces.

AbstractThis chapter uses Harrison’s personal archives to reconstruct the writing process leading up to Animal Machines. It argues that Animal Machines was as much an environmentalist and consumer-oriented book as it was about animal welfare. Harrison wrote Animal Machines between 1961 and 1964. During this period, she read scientific publications on animal behaviour, visited British farms, and corresponded with manufacturers, parliamentarians, and other campaigners—the most prominent of whom was the environmentalist Rachel Carson. Hardly any of her findings were novel. Animal Machines’ impact was instead based on Harrison’s ability to effectively stage existing concerns about intensive farming and technological alienation from nature alongside new ethology-informed concepts of animal welfare. Harrison mobilised anecdotal and scientific evidence as well as visual material to create a powerful moral contrast between a threatened romanticised countryside and a desensitised dystopian future characterised by the “factory farm.”

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe stories of gay spaces across the United States are largely unrecorded, undocumented, and are not centrally collected or archived beyond informal reports and oral histories. Evidence demonstrates that the preservation of historic sites allows for future generations to benefit from intangibles related to community and identity. However, the LGBTQ+ community has been unable to gain benefits that place-based, historic sites can provide, due to an inability to commemorate spaces that have shaped LGBTQ+ history in significant ways. This chapter explores the disparities between the preservation and commemoration of significant LGBTQ+ spaces and the amount of funding distributed to these sites. As of 2016, LGBTQ+ sites comprised only 0.08 percent of the 2,500 U.S. National Historic Landmarks and 0.005 percent of the more than 90,000 places listed in the National Register of Historic Places. This representation is well short of the share of American adults that identify as LGBTQ+ , which in 2017 was approximately five percent of the United States population. In 2010 the Administration of President Barack Obama launched the LGBTQ Heritage Initiative under the National Historic Landmarks Program. This effort underscored a broader commitment to include historically underrepresented groups, including LGBTQ+ individuals. As a result, LGBTQ+ communities became eligible to receive funding for projects through the Underrepresented Community Grant Program. An analysis of the distribution of Underrepresented Community Grant Program funds revealed that the LGBTQ+ community receives considerably less funding compared to other underrepresented communities. The findings from this study suggest that there is still a significant amount of work that remains to be done to integrate LGBTQ+ histories into historic preservation programs that exist at various levels of programming (local, state, and federal).

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAreas in cities typically denoted as ‘Vacant and Derelict Land’ are frequently presented in policy documents as absent of meaning and awaiting development. However, visits to many of these sites offer evidence of abundant citizen activity occurring outside of planning policy. Dog walkers, DIY skatepark builders, pigeon fanciers and reminiscing former factory workers, for example, can all be found inscribing their own narratives, in palimpsest like fashion, upon these landscapes. This spatio-temporally bound and layered mix of contested meanings extend beyond representational capacity offered by traditional cartographic methods as employed in policy decision-making. Such a failure to represent these ecologies of citizen-led practices often results in their erasure at the point of formal redevelopment. In this chapter, we explore how one alternative approach may respond to these challenges of representation through a case study project in Glasgow, Scotland. Deep mapping is an ethnographically informed, arts research practice, drawing Cifford Geertz’s notion of ‘thick description’ into a visual-performative realm and seeking to extend beyond the thin map by creating multifaceted and open-ended descriptions of place. As such, deep maps are not only investigations into place but of equal concern are the processes by which representations of place are generated. Implicit in this are questions about the role of the researcher as initiator, gatherer, archivist or artist and the intertwining between the place and the self. As a methodological approach that embraces multiplicity and favours the ‘politicized, passionate, and partisan’ over the totalizing objectivity of traditional maps, deep mapping offers a potential to give voice to marginalized, micro-narratives existing in tension with one another and within dominant meta-narratives but also triggers new questions over inclusivity. This methodologically focused chapter explores the ways in which an ethnographically informed, arts research practice may offer alternative insight into spaces of non-aligned narratives. The results from this investigation will offer new framings of spaces within the urban landscape conventionally represented as vacant or empty and generate perspectives on how art research methods may provide valuable investigative tools for decision-makers working in such contexts.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter takes the concept of ‘living heritage’ as a starting point to show the ways in which focusing on tangibility and intangibility, the formal and the informal, can be used to stretch the concepts of archival practice. It highlights the cultural and intellectual traditions, tangible and intangible, found within the Caribbean, Africa, and across the Diaspora. Accordingly, the institutions, organisations, concepts, and practices discussed here have a ‘pre-history’ both internationally and in the UK — a prehistory inseparable from the development of the intellectual and cultural history of African and Caribbean communities in the Diaspora. Despite this, an archival science capable of dealing with these complexities has yet to be developed. The chapter thus considers the ways in which Black-led archival practices in the UK have historically sought to both disrupt and define heritage practices. It makes a claim for the active, political and cultural incursions, disruptions, and interventions in the heritage sector by Black-led archives and heritage practitioners.

Since the end of XIX century when for the very first time the archival principles of arrangement and description were outlined until ICA have published their first international standard commonly known as ISAD-G which defines its 26 elements of archival description and followed afterwards by series of archival standards (ISAAR- CPF, ISDIAH, and ISDF) in 1990’s and 2000’s. These elements of description are similar to metadata elements. As the metadata elements of Dublin Core, for example, that have been released in the mid of 1990’s and then later on was adopted by ISO 15836-1:2017 and ISO 15836-2:2019. This article describes the similarities among both elements, the elements of description and the elements of metadata, including the ICA’s latest archival standard (RiC) and by using paradigm of integration-interconnection and three model of discplinary cooperation (multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary) according to Amin Abdullah. Besides reading closely towards the literary sources including the published standards released by ICA and ISO, the writer also does the same things towards various archival standards published by several national archives. These are some of the contribution of archival science and archival standards in order to open the chance of having equal cooperation and seeing the possibilities of having cooperation among its three stages.

This paper develops and reports on a composite indicator for statistical literacy as part of the Busan Action Plan for Statistics (BAPS) logical framework as agreed in the 4th High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness. The Plan’s first objective is to “fully integrate statistics into decision-making”. Statistical literacy is a prerequisite to effectively use statistics to inform decisions for planning, analysis, monitoring, and evaluation, thus increasing transparency and accountability. The statistical literacy indicator measures the use of and critical engagement with statistics in national newspapers. The target population are journalists and newspaper readers. This excludes the illiterate population and those without access to print or online media. Articles are from RSS feeds of national newspapers, primarily based on -- but not limited to -- the global news aggregator Google News.

Abstract Gaining insights from the dense network of interrelated documents involved in E&P projects requires experience, knowledge, and awareness about the existence of the required data. This framework aims to facilitate the decision-making process while consuming shorter time periods and lower costs, without sacrificing the accuracy of the data and decreasing the probability of human errors. The high complexity of E&P Projects results in a dense network of interrelated documents which are produced to cover the various aspects and details of the project. Gaining insights from old data requires experience, knowledge, and awareness about the existence of the required data. Accordingly, the knowledge accumulated over the time from various projects can be considered a key asset, since it can be leveraged to perform more informed decisions. This paper presents a framework that aim at capturing organizational knowledge locked in paper-based datasets and store it in a structured digital format that facilitates its retrieval and enables analyses which help uncover valuable insights. This research aims to generate valuable data from existing archives while causing minimal disturbance to existing business processes and workflows. The framework performs four main functions: image processing, text recognition, Data Analytics and Data storage. Initially the text recognition module; which is performs Image Processing to enhance the quality of the scanned files, and optical character recognition using LSTM which extracts the text contained in images. The Data Analytics Module, then cleanses and mines the extracted text using Big Data Analytics tools. Text Matching and searching is performed on the Spark Dataframe using regular expressions to identify different attributes and their different types. Finally, the data is stored in a SQL Database. In order to measure the workflow's accuracy a manual baseline was generated for a sample project. The accuracy is measured using field-level verification, since it was found to be the most fit-for-purpose, as it allows to measure the accuracy of the workflow on the level of each field.

Situado en medio de la llanura manchega, el Parque Nacional de Las Tablas de Daimiel es uno de los pocos enclaves de nuestro país en los que se desarrolla el ecosistema de tablas fluviales. Durante la época preindustrial el lugar fue conocido como la Real Dehesa de Zacatena y fue propiedad de la Orden de Calatrava y de la Monarquía Hispánica. Dada su potencialidad económica, la conservación del lugar fue una de las principales preocupaciones de sus gestores. Gracias a ello, se custodian en los archivos numerosos testimonios que nos informan acerca del nivel de protección que, desde siglos atrás, se dio a Zacatena. El estudio conjunto de todas esas fuentes permite reconstruir de una manera muy fidedigna el paisaje natural de la dehesa, su extensión y evolución a lo largo del tiempo. Se trata de cuestiones de primer orden, que, en última instancia, permiten conocer uno de los principales pilares del enclave: su patrimonio natural, base a su vez de la rica herencia cultural y arquitectónica de la que es garante el lugar.

Full textAbstract:
“El paraíso es para todos” es una película producida por Lynn Carone y Fernando Pericin, fruto de la combinación de tres proyectos previos en diálogo, derivados de la investigación de ambos y que contemplan temas sobre los cuerpos, los territorios y las ocupaciones urbanas. El video performance “Es muchas capas” de Lynn Carone y un artista amigo nació de la observación de un lugar y la rareza que causaba. Utilizaron un lugar específico para realizar el trabajo con foco en el racismo. El territorio físico fue un estímulo para las reflexiones sobre el racismo estructural y la búsqueda de reparación en torno a una posición antirracista. Para la performance del video, se consideró el concepto de especificidad del sitio, pensado como orientado al sitio, en el cual, según Miwon Kwon (1977), el trabajo no sería solo un “sustantivo/objeto”, sino un “verbo/proceso “, provocando la agudeza crítica, no solo física y fenomenológica, del espectador, sino también, a las condiciones ideológicas de esta experiencia, en este caso, la observación de la especificidad del nombre del restaurante “Senzala”, que significa “barrios esclavos”, ubicado en un barrio de clase media alta de São Paulo, Brasil. La obra “The Contemporary Gay” de Fernando Pericin nace de la indignación de los ataques a personas que se desvían del estándar de género y sexualidad en los últimos años, apoyados en reflexiones sobre el texto “¿Qué es contemporáneo?” de Giorgio Agamben. Según el informe del Grupo Gay de Bahía, 174 hombres homosexuales fueron víctimas de muerte violenta en Brasil en 2019. En tiempos de pandemia, reclamando su derecho a la protesta, Fernando utilizó las calles vacías como base y su cuerpo como apoyo para realizar una actuación solitaria para expresar su indignación y provocar reflexiones sobre las decisiones y declaraciones del actual gobierno sobre la población LGBTQIA+. En 2021, Lynn Carone y Fernando Pericin promovieron la continuación de un trabajo iniciado en 2019, cuando conocieron, entrevistaron y fotografiaron a una mujer transexual en su lugar de trabajo, dando como resultado el video “Transfly”, que provoca reflexiones sobre la investigación de los artistas, como el lugar y sus especificidades, prejuicios, opresión, reencuentros y reconexiones. Las reflexiones sobre las tres obras proporcionaron un (re)encuentro entre los artistas y su poética y dieron como resultado el video experimental “El paraíso es para todos”, como forma de expresión y elaboración de un pensamiento visual que incluye las vivencias en los territorios de la ciudad, las especificidades de los lugares como propulsores cuestionadores y las posiciones personales en la micro política asumidas como postura de vida y transformación personal, repensando las formas de relación. Los registros revisitados como archivos permitieron relecturas en collages y superposiciones de imágenes y sonidos, ubicando las tres producciones en un escenario que transita entre la realidad y la pesadilla, dando continuidad a las discusiones de la obra en proceso. Priscila Arantes (2015, p. 120) nos ayuda a comprender este camino cuando dice que “la obra de arte contemporánea es, en efecto, un archivo en un sentido muy particular: una obra-archivo abierta a innumerables desarrollos, lecturas y ‘narrativas múltiples”.

Narrative imagination creates a space of learning where contemporary and historic knowledge of designed place merge. This paperdiscusses how an instructor’s curation and narration of archival material can provoke design-students to imagine narratives and actively visualize processes humans use to construct, inhabit and adjust comfort in place. The concept of narrative imagination presented in this paper is informed by traditional narrative as Marie-Laure Ryan defines it her 2005 article, Narrative and the Split Condition of Digital Textuality: (The traditionalist school) “conceives narrative as an invariant core of meaning, a core that distinguishes narrative from other types of discourse, and gives it a trans-cultural, trans-historical, and trans-medial identity.”1 The work of Gerard Genette, Levi-Strauss, Roland Barthes, Jacques Derrida, Monica Fludernik, John Fiske, James Phelan, Henry Jenkins and others is also influential.2

Sound recordings have proven to be irreplaceable primary sources for disciplines like linguistics, musicology, ethnomusicology and sociology. Their fragile physical nature has activated a number of counter-actions aimed at prolonging the life expectancy of their content. Methodological issues have been raised in the past three decades, considering the relationship between the physical object and its (digitized) intangible content, which is not only complex but develops over time. This article re ects on the role of the emerging discipline known as ‘digital philology’ in the long- term preservation of audio documents, pointing out how some concepts (such as authenticity, reliability and accuracy) may require a ‘customized’ (as opposed to a ‘ready-made’) approach in the preservation work ow – mainly depending on the type of the archive: unique copies, eld recordings, electronic music, oral history, to name some representative cases. The set-up of the laboratory for sound preservation at the Centro di Sonologia Computazionale (CSC) of the University of Padova, Italy, represents one customized approach in which conscious methodological decisions support philologically informed digitization e orts. The methods affect the results, and ultimately the consequences are not merely technological but cultural.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Water Saturation (Sw) is a critical input to reserves estimation and reservoir modeling workflows which ultimately informs effective reservoir management and decision-making. Without laboratory analysis on expensive core data, Sw is estimated using traditional correlations—commonly Archie's equation. However, using such a correlation in routine petrophysical analysis for estimating reservoir properties on a case-by-case basis is challenging and time-consuming. This study employs a data-driven approach to model Sw in Niger Delta sandstone reservoirs using readily available geophysical well logs. We evaluate the performance of several generic and ensemble machine learning (ML) algorithms for predicting Archie's computed Sw. ML techniques such as unsupervised anomaly detection and multivariate single imputation were used for preprocessing the data and feature engineering was used to improve the predictive quality of the input well logs. The generalization ability of the ML models was assessed on the individual training wells as well as a held-out test well. Model hyperparameters were tuned using Bayesian Optimization in the cross-validation process to achieve a high rate of success. Several evaluation metrics and graphical methods such as learning curves, convergence plots, and partial dependence plots (PDPs) were then used to assess the predictive performance of the models and explain their behavior. This revealed the Tree Boosting ensembles as the top performers. The superior performance of the Tree Boosting ensembles over the benchmark linear model reveals that the relationship between the transformed logs and Sw is complex and better modeled in the nonlinear domain. Based on the results obtained in this research, we propose the Tree Boosting ensembles as potential models for rapidly estimating Sw for reservoir characterization. A broader field application of the proposed methodologies is expected to provide greater insight into subsurface fluid distribution thereby improving hydrocarbon recovery.

The Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals (GEM) program provided an opportunity to update bedrock geological maps for nearly 92 000 km2 of the northwestern portion of the mainland area of the Northwest Territories. Twenty-four new maps (at the scale of 1:100 000 or 1:250 000) cover a region from the Colville Hills southwestward into the Mackenzie Mountains, including areas of significant mineral and energy resource potential. New mapping was informed by archived Geological Survey of Canada data, notably from Operation Norman (1968-1970), as well as by public-domain industry data. Maps incorporate numerous stratigraphic revisions that postdate Operation Norman, including GEM program innovations affecting Neoproterozoic (specifically Tonian and Ediacaran), Cambrian, and Ordovician units. In this paper, the mapping effort and stratigraphic revisions are documented, a preliminary treatment of structural geology is provided, and related subsurface studies are summarized. Following GEM, GIS-enabled bedrock maps will be available for a swath of territory stretching from the edge of the Selwyn Basin, near the Yukon border, to the Brock Inlier in the northeastern portion of the mainland area of the Northwest Territories.

National Park Service, June 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.36967/nrr-2293650.
Full textAbstract:
Climate changes are affecting virtually all National Park Service units and resources, and an assessment of climate vulnerabilities is important for developing proactive management plans to respond appropriately to these changes and threats. Vulnerability assessments typically evaluate exposure and sensitivity of the assessment targets and evaluate adaptive capacity for living resources. Chapters in this report review and evaluate climate vulnerability assessments of National Park Service units and resources including infrastructure, natural resources, and cultural resources. Striking results were the diversity of approaches to conducting vulnerability assessments, the small number of vulnerability assessments for National Park Service cultural resources, and the large differences in the “state of the science” of conducting assessments among the three resource groups. Vulnerability assessment methodologies are well established for evaluating infrastructure and natural resources, albeit with very different techniques, but far less is known or available for designing and/or conducting cultural resources assessments. Challenges consistently identified in the vulnerability assessments, or the chapters were: Limited capacity of park staff to fully engage in the design and/or execution of the vulnerability assessments. Most park staff are fully engaged in on-going duties. Inconsistent use of terms, definitions, and protocols, sometimes resulting in confusion or inefficiencies. Discovering and acquiring National Park Service vulnerability assessments because results were inconsistently archived. Aligning results with park needs due to differences in level of detail, scope, and/or resolution, or format(s) for reporting results. Best practices and recommendations identified in multiple chapters were: Ensure that vulnerability assessments are designed to match parks’ needs, and that results are reported in ways that inform identified management decisions. Prioritize resources to be thoroughly assessed so effort is directed to the most important threats and resources. Evaluate all components of vulnerability (not just exposure). Explicitly and systematically address uncertainty, recognizing the range of climate projections and our understanding of potential responses. Identify and, where possible, focus on key vulnerabilities that most threaten conservation or management goals. Embrace partnerships and engage others with necessary expertise. Good vulnerability assessments usually require expertise in a broad range of subject areas.

Full textAbstract:
This study was conducted to inventory, classify, and map soils and vegetation within the ecosystems of Katmai National Park and Preserve (KATM) using an ecological land survey (ELS) approach. The ecosystem classes identified in the ELS effort were mapped across the park, using an archive of Geo-graphic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) datasets pertaining to land cover, topography, surficial geology, and glacial history. The description and mapping of the landform-vegetation-soil relationships identified in the ELS work provides tools to support the design and implementation of future field- and RS-based studies, facilitates further analysis and contextualization of existing data, and will help inform natural resource management decisions. We collected information on the geomorphic, topographic, hydrologic, pedologic, and vegetation characteristics of ecosystems using a dataset of 724 field plots, of which 407 were sampled by ABR, Inc.—Environmental Research and Services (ABR) staff in 2016–2017, and 317 were from existing, ancillary datasets. ABR field plots were located along transects that were selected using a gradient-direct sampling scheme (Austin and Heligers 1989) to collect data for the range of ecological conditions present within KATM, and to provide the data needed to interpret ecosystem and soils development. The field plot dataset encompassed all of the major environmental gradients and landscape histories present in KATM. Individual state-factors (e.g., soil pH, slope aspect) and other ecosystem components (e.g., geomorphic unit, vegetation species composition and structure) were measured or categorized using standard classification systems developed for Alaska. We described and analyzed the hierarchical relationships among the ecosystem components to classify 92 Plot Ecotypes (local-scale ecosystems) that best partitioned the variation in soils, vegetation, and disturbance properties observed at the field plots. From the 92 Plot Ecotypes, we developed classifications of Map Ecotypes and Disturbance Landscapes that could be mapped across the park. Additionally, using an existing surficial geology map for KATM, we developed a map of Generalized Soil Texture by aggregating similar surficial geology classes into a reduced set of classes representing the predominant soil textures in each. We then intersected the Ecotype map with the General-ized Soil Texture Map in a GIS and aggregated combinations of Map Ecotypes with similar soils to derive and map Soil Landscapes and Soil Great Groups. The classification of Great Groups captures information on the soil as a whole, as opposed to the subgroup classification which focuses on the properties of specific horizons (Soil Survey Staff 1999). Of the 724 plots included in the Ecotype analysis, sufficient soils data for classifying soil subgroups was available for 467 plots. Soils from 8 orders of soil taxonomy were encountered during the field sampling: Alfisols (<1% of the mapped area), Andisols (3%), Entisols (45%), Gelisols (<1%), Histosols (12%), Inceptisols (22%), Mollisols (<1%), and Spodosols (16%). Within these 8 Soil Orders, field plots corresponded to a total of 74 Soil Subgroups, the most common of which were Typic Cryaquents, Typic Cryorthents, Histic Cryaquepts, Vitrandic Cryorthents, and Typic Cryofluvents.

The main recommendations of the panel report can be summarised under five key headings: Building blocks: The ultimate aim should be to build rich, detailed and testable narratives situated within a European context, and addressing phenomena from the longue durée to the short-term over international to local scales. Chronological control is essential to this and effective dating strategies are required to enable generation-level analysis. The ‘serendipity factor’ of archaeological work must be enhanced by recognising and getting the most out of information-rich sites as they appear. o There is a pressing need to revisit the archives of excavated sites to extract more information from existing resources, notably through dating programmes targeted at regional sequences – the Western Isles Atlantic roundhouse sequence is an obvious target. o Many areas still lack anything beyond the baldest of settlement sequences, with little understanding of the relations between key site types. There is a need to get at least basic sequences from many more areas, either from sustained regional programmes or targeted sampling exercises. o Much of the methodologically innovative work and new insights have come from long-running research excavations. Such large-scale research projects are an important element in developing new approaches to the Iron Age. Daily life and practice: There remains great potential to improve the understanding of people’s lives in the Iron Age through fresh approaches to, and integration of, existing and newly-excavated data. o House use. Rigorous analysis and innovative approaches, including experimental archaeology, should be employed to get the most out of the understanding of daily life through the strengths of the Scottish record, such as deposits within buildings, organic preservation and waterlogging. o Material culture. Artefact studies have the potential to be far more integral to understandings of Iron Age societies, both from the rich assemblages of the Atlantic area and less-rich lowland finds. Key areas of concern are basic studies of material groups (including the function of everyday items such as stone and bone tools, and the nature of craft processes – iron, copper alloy, bone/antler and shale offer particularly good evidence). Other key topics are: the role of ‘art’ and other forms of decoration and comparative approaches to assemblages to obtain synthetic views of the uses of material culture. o Field to feast. Subsistence practices are a core area of research essential to understanding past society, but different strands of evidence need to be more fully integrated, with a ‘field to feast’ approach, from production to consumption. The working of agricultural systems is poorly understood, from agricultural processes to cooking practices and cuisine: integrated work between different specialisms would assist greatly. There is a need for conceptual as well as practical perspectives – e.g. how were wild resources conceived? o Ritual practice. There has been valuable work in identifying depositional practices, such as deposition of animals or querns, which are thought to relate to house-based ritual practices, but there is great potential for further pattern-spotting, synthesis and interpretation. Iron Age Scotland: ScARF Panel Report v Landscapes and regions: Concepts of ‘region’ or ‘province’, and how they changed over time, need to be critically explored, because they are contentious, poorly defined and highly variable. What did Iron Age people see as their geographical horizons, and how did this change? Attempts to understand the Iron Age landscape require improved, integrated survey methodologies, as existing approaches are inevitably partial. Aspects of the landscape’s physical form and cover should be investigated more fully, in terms of vegetation (known only in outline over most of the country) and sea level change in key areas such as the firths of Moray and Forth. Landscapes beyond settlement merit further work, e.g. the use of the landscape for deposition of objects or people, and what this tells us of contemporary perceptions and beliefs. Concepts of inherited landscapes (how Iron Age communities saw and used this longlived land) and socal resilience to issues such as climate change should be explored more fully. Reconstructing Iron Age societies. The changing structure of society over space and time in this period remains poorly understood. Researchers should interrogate the data for better and more explicitly-expressed understandings of social structures and relations between people. The wider context: Researchers need to engage with the big questions of change on a European level (and beyond). Relationships with neighbouring areas (e.g. England, Ireland) and analogies from other areas (e.g. Scandinavia and the Low Countries) can help inform Scottish studies. Key big topics are: o The nature and effect of the introduction of iron. o The social processes lying behind evidence for movement and contact. o Parallels and differences in social processes and developments. o The changing nature of houses and households over this period, including the role of ‘substantial houses’, from crannogs to brochs, the development and role of complex architecture, and the shift away from roundhouses. o The chronology, nature and meaning of hillforts and other enclosed settlements. o Relationships with the Roman world
