Picturing the news: the intellectual arrangement and description of the Chatham Daily News collection

This thesis is an applied project in managing and preserving photographic press collections in museums and archives, focusing on the Chatham Daily News Collection at the Chatham-Kent Museum. The collection was donated by the Chatham Daily News to the museum in 1990 and consists of ca. 300,000 black and white negatives, ca. 10,000 black and white contact prints and 8 administrative record books from 1946 to 1987. This thesis addresses the growing occurrence of press collections that are donated to museums and archives for preservation, and what these institutions can do to make them more accessible. The project was comprised of an inventory, a standardized finding aid and a detailed container list. Data from a representative sample of the collection was gathered and analyzed in order to better understand and describe the negatives and the role that photography played as a tool of communication at the Chatham Daily News.

Administrative adjudication

The US system of administrative adjudication in which our federal agencies decide disputes with private parties themselves with administrative hearings, with an internal appeal, followed by judicial review based on the administrative record in the federal courts is familiar to American lawyers. But that is not the system that is followed by most countries around the world—where agency decisions are typically made in a very informal manner, with any requested hearings taking place in administrative courts or tribunals and sometimes with further review in the ‘regular’ courts. This dichotomy between the US system of internal administrative adjudication and external administrative adjudication around the world reveals that the United States is the outlier. This chapter describes this dichotomy in more detail and examines its implication in terms of administrative justice and other qualitative measures of the different models.

Implementation of address recording management using the K-Means clustering classification algorithm in Kebayoran District, DKI Jakarta

The area is the center of problems in the administrative record management of Kebayoran District, because of its dense condition and it is difficult to determine land measurements due to the density of residential areas. The problem in Indonesia to this day is that the administrative boundaries of the kelurahan already exist, but the administrative boundaries for the Rukun Warga / Rukun Tetangga (RW / RT) do not yet exist. The local government of DKI already has a large scale map (1: 1,000) to map RW administrative boundaries. Large-scale mapping (Batas RW) is useful for accurate information on incidence of dengue fever or other diseases, thereby eliminating information bias due to the use of village boundary maps. Another benefit is the accuracy of address management for customers, for example PDAM customers, to facilitate verification of customer data with large-scale maps, especially those that only include RT / RW addresses, without mentioning street names and household numbers. The method used is data mining K-Means Clustering. By using this method, the data that has been obtained can be grouped into several clusters, where the application of the KMeans Clustering process uses Excel calculations. The processed data is divided into 3 clusters, namely: high cluster (C1), medium cluster (C2) and low cluster (C3). The iteration process of this research occurs 2 times so that an assessment is obtained in classifying the household / neighborhood unit based on the Kelurahan. The results obtained are that there is 1 neighborhood unit with the highest cluster (C1), there are 4 neighborhood units with 4 medium clusters (C2), and 5 neighborhood units with the lowest cluster (C3). This data can be input to the sub-district to disseminate information about dengue fever, health education, and for the accuracy of PDAM customer address management and others.

Life expectancy inequalities and their evolution in Italy. How these impact on the equity of the pension system?

The article aims to present the most recent evidence on the life-expectancy differentials across socio-economic groups in Italy and discuss their implications in terms of equity and fairness of the pension systems. In fact, Italian pension rules are set according to average life expectancy, ignoring the shorter life expectancy at retirement observed in more disadvantaged socioeconomic groups, as well as in many occupations and economic sectors. This produces unintended consequences in terms of redistribution, which reinforce and exacerbate inequalities present in the labour market. This article will present updated evidence on the evolution of life expectancy inequalities across job titles, sectors and occupational class in Italy to assess whether the social gap, already highlighted by previous scholars, has been widening or narrowing. Only a few studies are available in the literature on this subject, almost exclusively from the US, which suggest that the gap in terms of life expectancy at ages approaching retirement is increasing, mainly driven by a faster improvement in longevity across most advantaged groups. It is crucial to examine the trend in a country like Italy where retirement age has been strongly tightened and linked automatically to average life expectancy in the population. These results may be important in order to inform the public debate about future reforms on retirement rules and in particular for the definition of the so called “arduous and hazardous jobs” (in Italian: lavori gravosi), that could be exempted from the postponement of pension age. In order to estimate life expectancy differentials among different occupations, three of the largest Italian longitudinal studies will be used: the Turin Longitudinal Study (SLT), the Italian Longitudinal Study (SLI) and WHIP-Health Study, all studies where it is possible to conduct mortality follow-up through administrative record linkage with archives of mortality of large cohorts until recent years.

Toward a Risk-Utility Data Governance Framework for Research Using Genomic and Phenotypic Data in Safe Havens: Multifaceted Review

Background Research using genomic data opens up new insights into health and disease. Being able to use the data in association with health and administrative record data held in safe havens can multiply the benefits. However, there is much discussion about the use of genomic data with perceptions of particular challenges in doing so safely and effectively. Objective This study aimed to work toward a risk-utility data governance framework for research using genomic and phenotypic data in an anonymized form for research in safe havens. Methods We carried out a multifaceted review drawing upon data governance arrangements in published research, case studies of organizations working with genomic and phenotypic data, public views and expectations, and example studies using genomic and phenotypic data in combination. The findings were contextualized against a backdrop of legislative and regulatory requirements and used to create recommendations. Results We proposed recommendations toward a risk-utility model with a flexible suite of controls to safeguard privacy and retain data utility for research. These were presented as overarching principles aligned to the core elements in the data sharing framework produced by the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health and as practical control measures distilled from published literature and case studies of operational safe havens to be applied as required at a project-specific level. Conclusions The recommendations presented can be used to contribute toward a proportionate data governance framework to promote the safe, socially acceptable use of genomic and phenotypic data in safe havens. They do not purport to eradicate risk but propose case-by-case assessment with transparency and accountability. If the risks are adequately understood and mitigated, there should be no reason that linked genomic and phenotypic data should not be used in an anonymized form for research in safe havens.

Enacting and resisting biosecurity citizenship: More-than-human geographies of enrolment in a disease eradication scheme in Scotland

This paper explores farmers’ responses to a cattle disease eradication scheme in Scotland by examining geographies of biopower and biosecurity citizenship. Biosecurity citizenship is a project to enact disease control for the good of a particular community. The paper uses the concept of biosecurity citizenship to explore how successful the scheme was at enrolling farmers as ‘Scottish’ biosecurity citizens with a sense of responsibility to the national territory. It explores the kinds of relationships the scheme created between farmers and animals and the kinds of animal ‘citizens’ created. The scheme was found to be partially successful in fostering a sense of biosecurity citizenship among farmers. Points of tension were the replacement of farmers’ own ways of assessing the value of their animals with an epidemiological lens that framed value in terms of the presence or absence of the bovine viral diarrhoea pathogen. These animals were constituted by the scheme as anonymous non-human citizens who became known through their administrative record of geographical relationship to Scottish national territory. The logic of the scheme differentiating Scotland as a distinct epidemiological space was variously accepted and resisted by farmers based on distance from the English border, and how ‘Scottish’ associated economic supply chains were. The paper thus highlights a new type of interaction between biosecurity and trade, showing how epidemiological initiatives can entangle with ‘quality’ supply chains that differentiate produce based on cultural links with a national territory. This in turn underlines the importance of understanding the dynamics of biosecurity citizenship in creating particular geographies of human–animal relationships and supply chains.

Akibat Hukum Perkawinan Yang Tidak Dicatatkan Secara Administratif Pada Masyarakat Adat

Pelaksanaan perkawinan di kalangan Masyarakat Hukum Adat melalui proses yang panjang atau rites de passage, karena menyatukan dua keluarga besar. Perkawinan sebagaimana yang terjadi seperti di lingkungan Masyarakat Hukum Adat Suku Samin atau Sedulur Sikep di Pati Jawa Tengan, dan Masyarakat Adat Karuhun Urang (AKUR) Kuningan Jawa Barat, tidak dicatatkan di KUA atau Kantor Catatan Sipil, namun memiliki pencatatan secara administratif tersendiri di lembaga adatnya, yakni Pranata Adanya. Akibat hukum perkawinan masyarakat Hukum Adat yang tidak mencatatkan perkawinannya secara hukum negara berdampak pada beberapa hal, seperti halnya kedudukan dan status anak yang dilahirkan, pewarisan, dampak pendidikan, dan lain sebagainya. Sedangkan akibat hukum menurut hukum adatnya tidak menjadi masalah karena perkawinan sudah memiliki pengakuan dalam tatanan kehidupan Masyarakat Hukum Adatnya. Perkawinan tersebut menimbulkan hubungan dua keluarga besar menjadi satu, serta tidak dipermasalahkan yang terkait dengan hak kedudukan anak, seperti dibidak pendidikan informal, warisan, perkawinan, dan bidang hukum adat lainnya, karena semuanya dikembalikan pada hukum adat yang berlaku dalam masyarakat Hukum Adat setempat. Abstract The implementation of marriage among the indigenous peoples of the law through a lengthy process or rites de passage, because it brings together two large families. Marriage as is the case in the environment of indigenous people of Samin or Sedulur Sikep in Pati Jawa Tengan, and indigenous Karuhun Urang (AKUR) Kuningan West Java, not recorded in the KUA or the Civil registry office, but has Its own administrative record of the institution, the Pranata. The result of the marriage Law of Adat Law Society that does not record the legal his marriage of the country affects several things, such as the position and status of the Born child, inheritance, impact of education, and so forth. While the legal consequences according to the law of law is not a problem because the marriage already has recognition in the life order of the law community. The marriage led to the relationship of two large families in one, and not in question related to the right of the child's position, such as the informal education, inheritance, marriage, and other customary areas of law, as it was all is returned to customary laws applicable to the local customary law community.

The Labor Market Returns to For-Profit Higher Education: Evidence for Transfer Students

Objective: This study examines the labor market gains for students who enrolled at for-profit colleges after beginning their postsecondary education in community college. Method: We use student-level administrative record data from college transcripts, unemployment insurance earnings data, and progression data from the National Student Clearinghouse across full entry cohorts of community college students in two statewide systems between 2001 and 2006. Using regression analysis and fixed effect methods, we calculate the wage gains to attainment across different student transfer patterns. Results: We find significant wage penalties to transfer to a for-profit college instead of to a public or private nonprofit college. For some student groups, earnings are higher if they drop out of community college instead of transferring to a for-profit college. Conclusion: Students in for-profit colleges do have lower opportunity costs in terms of foregone earnings while enrolled in college. However, these do not sufficiently compensate for lower earnings growth after college.

O direito à aposentadoria como uma dimensão da luta pela valorização dos professores: perfil das redes municipais brasileiras a partir da RAIS.

O artigo argumenta que o direito à aposentadoria especial de professores da educação básica pode ser compreendido como uma dimensão da valorização profissional (FERREIRA JR, 2013; GROCHOSKA, 2017; GOUVEIA, 2018). Esta perspectiva amplia dimensões já contempladas na literatura, como as de formação, remuneração, carreira e condições de trabalho (OLIVEIRA, 2010; CAMARGO; JACOMINI, 2011; GROCHOSKA, 2015; DARLING-HAMMOND, 2017). A partir da análise dos dados de perfil dos professores que efetivaram a aposentadoria nos anos de 2008 e 2016 cotejados por idade, tempo de serviço e formação, problematiza-se a ideia de mudanças no direito à aposentadoria especial dado que os professores, sob efeito das últimas reformas da previdência, já sofreram impactos não avaliados devidamente e têm apresentado maior tempo de permanência no sistema e, portanto, maior média de idade. A fonte de informações de perfil é a Relação Anual de Informações Sociais (RAIS), registro administrativo anual de empregos formais do Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego. Apresentam-se também alguns elementos do debate sindical recente sobre o direito à aposentadoria especial no Brasil.Palavras-chave: Políticas Educacionais, Remuneração Docente, Aposentadoria The retirement right as dimension of teachers’ appreciation figth: profile of brazilian municipal systems from RAISABSTRACTThe article argues that rigth to special retirement for teachers in basic education can be understood how a dimension of profissional appreciattion ((FERREIRA JR, 2013; GROCHOSKA, 2017; GOUVEIA, 2018). This perspective expands dimensions already contemplated in the literature such as trainning, remuneration, career and working conditions (OLIVEIRA, 2010; CAMARGO; JACOMINI, 2011; GROCHOSKA, 2015; DARLING-HAMMOND, 2017). Based on the analysis of the profile data of the teachers who made the retirement in the years 2008 and 2016, based on age, length of service and trainning, the idea of changes in the right to special retirement is problematized since the teachers, pension reforms, have already had an impact that has not been duly assessed and has been shown to be longer in the system and, therefore, a higher average age. The source of profile information is the Annual Social Information Relation (RAIS), the annual administrative record of formal jobs from Ministry of Labor and Employment. It also presents some elements of the recent trade union debate on the right to special retirement in Brazil.Keywords: Education Policies. Teachers’ remuneration. Retirement.
