Neighborhoods, museums, and food to eat in Dusseldorf, Ghent, and Antwerp.
No particular order - just things that were memorable.


DUSSELDORF

Neighborhoods

  • Flingern-Süd: Neighborhood of former socialist radicals...lots of good street art (if you go https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiefernstra%C3%9Fe)
  • Altstadt: Kind of touristy, but worth a short visit. Altbier is unique to Dusseldorf - most breweries are in Altstadt neighborhood and have tasting rooms / bars.

Exercise for JT's research group.

All,

I am very much looking forward to meeting with you on Tuesday. I though we might do a writing exercise in preparation.

Some background:

I subscribe to a world view where empirical research can be located along two axis: One having to do with the speed that data are collected, analyzed, and described and the other having to do with the precision of knowledge that is produced.

In short, empirical research can be quick or slow in one dimension, and neat or scruffy in the other. At the intersection of these two dimensions you can likely locate your epistemic commitments (and your own comfort).

A mini-track proposal for HICSS on open source sustainability

Title: Open Source Sustainability

Track: Collaboration Systems and Technologies

Description: Open source software and hardware underpin many contemporary information infrastructures. The responsibility for maintaining this infrastructure often depends on a small number of institutions and individuals working cooperatively to overcome collective action dilemmas. IS researchers have previously studied coordination, motivation, and collaboration within open-source communities, but are beginning to turn their attention towards activities involved in the maintenance, upkeep, and evolution of these collective action projects as networked infrastructure. This mini-track invites papers that focus on sociotechnical dimmensions of sustainability in open source. Topics and research areas include, but are not limited to:

  • The evolution of governance models in open source communities
  • Quantitative and Qualitative evaluations of sustainable open source software and hardware projects
  • Economic models o

Below are some relevant studies on data discovery, reuse, and collaboration.

Synthesis Studies

Sidlauskas, B., Ganeshkumar, G., Hazkani-Covo, E., Jenkins, K., Lapp, H., McCall, L.W., . . . Kidd, D.M. (2010). Linking big: The continuing promise of evolutionary synthesis. Evolution, 64(4), 871–880.

Summary: 'Lessons learned' from running the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent) - provides four modes of 'synthesis in action': Data aggregation; Reuse of Results; Methodological Integration; Conceptual Synthesis and Methodological Integration. The "Overcoming Technological Impediments to Synthesis" is not particularly helpful your study, but interesting background info.

Using qualitative and quantitative methodologies over three years, this study will look at teacher/librarian collaboration in the preparation of science instructional modules for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders in predominantly Latino elementary schools. This research will examine questions about the relationship of teacher/librarian collaboration to Latino students performance on standardized tests of science proficiency and information literacy. examine the effect of teacher/librarian collaboration on science information literacy of Latino students
