Abstract As devices with always-on microphones located in people’s homes, smart speakers have significant privacy implications. We surveyed smart speaker owners about their beliefs, attitudes, and concerns about the recordings that are made and shared by their devices. To ground participants’ responses in concrete interactions, rather than collecting their opinions abstractly, we framed our survey around randomly selected recordings of saved interactions with their devices. We surveyed 116 owners of Amazon and Google smart speakers and found that almost half did not know that their recordings were being permanently stored and that they could review them; only a quarter reported reviewing interactions, and very few had ever deleted any. While participants did not consider their own recordings especially sensitive, they were more protective of others’ recordings (such as children and guests) and were strongly opposed to use of their data by third parties or for advertising. They also considered permanent retention, the status quo, unsatisfactory. Based on our findings, we make recommendations for more agreeable data retention policies and future privacy controls.

Appraisal Tool

ABSTRACT A common obstacle during the appraisal of design records is the specialized vernacular creators use to describe them. As a result, archival professionals may feel unprepared for discussions with potential donors while acquiring these distinct and sometimes problematic materials. Using authoritative architectural and archival sources, the authors expanded on existing literature to develop appraisal grid templates that generally align with different collecting institutions' missions and overarching development and retention policies and created a consolidated and comprehensive glossary of design phases, categories, and definitions to use as a reference. The authors hope that this resource will assist those who are unfamiliar with the design process to interpret disparate design record types, to inform the appraisal process, and ultimately, to make accessioning decisions.

HR Perspective - The big crew change, which has been looming over the oil industry for years, is now upon us. The average age of offshore workers in the North Sea and North America is over 50. Cutbacks in recruitment, lack of active retention policies, early retirement, and streamlining measures all have played a part in causing chronic personnel shortages. The challenge now is, who will replace today's workforce?

Abstract Wildfires have become more frequent and intense in recent years in the western United States. Previous studies have investigated the potential environmental and economic impacts of active management in burned forest landscapes. No previously published study, however, has considered wildlife requirements for snags while planning salvage logging operations in postburned landscapes. We examined the potential impacts of 19 snag retention strategies using cable-based yarding systems over a 3-year time period since burn. The strategies were based on current research recommendations, operational needs, and state and federal policies. Potential impacts on two cavity-nesting bird habitats and the feasibility of each strategy were examined. We found that most snag retention strategies generated net revenues per unit volume of merchantable wood greater than $70/m3 immediately after a burn and $60/m3 3 years after a burn. Those strategies that focused snag retention on smaller-diameter stems had the highest net revenue values and higher productivity rates. We also found that the strategy that removed all merchantable snags did not produce the highest revenue. In general, decreased yarding distance and a smaller yarding system (e.g., shovel loader) resulted in greater net revenue per unit volume with increased time since burn. The salvage strategy that provided the most favorable habitat for the two cavity-nesting birds left all snags standing in the half of the salvage unit farthest away from the yarder. Our findings indicate that it is possible to provide adequate cavity-nesting bird habitat and generate net revenue during fire salvage operations.

Determining retention policies for the accumulated three and one half kilometres of patient records has become a priority at Sydney Hospital. This has involved a careful consideration of how the retention of a proportion of the total records can be reconciled to the function of the medical record. The techniques of culling, sampling and selection are discussed and an outline of the solution agreed at Sydney Hospital is given.

South Carolina’s Read to Succeed Law (RTS) is different than the other 15 states’ literacy-based third grade retention laws. It mandates literacy intervention training for in-service and pre-service teachers. Research indicates academic gains from retention are short-lived, diminishing over time and increasing drop-out rates. Through a statewide survey, this study identifies educators’ perceptions and knowledge of retention and the RTS policy, and examines the relationship between knowledge and perceptions. Educators were not familiar with retention research or RTS specifics, but favored retention. Implications include the need for more teacher training regarding new state policies and the efficacy of their foundations. This study provides evidence that policymakers should consider the means of implementation and shoulder accountability for a structured and equitable support system.
