  • The Data Journalism Handbook
    THE DATA JOURNALISM HANDBOOK Towards a Critical Data Practice Edited by Liliana Bounegru and Jonathan Gray 1 Bounegru & Gray (eds.) The Data Journalism Handbook “This is a stellar collection that spans applied and scholarly perspectives on practices of data journalism, rich with insights into the work of making data tell stories.” − Kate Crawford, New York University + Microsoft Research New York; author of Atlas of AI “Researchers sometimes suffer from what I call journalist-envy. Journalists, after all, write well, meet deadlines, and don’t take decades to complete their research. But the journalistic landscape has changed in ways that scholars should heed. A new, dynamic field—data journalism—is flourishing, one that makes the boundaries between our fields less rigid and more interesting. This exciting new volume interrogates this important shift, offering journalists and researchers alike an engaging, critical introduction to this field. Spanning the globe, with an impressive variety of data and purposes, the essays demonstrate the promise and limits of this form of journalism, one that yields new investigative strategies, one that warrants analysis. Perhaps new forms of collaboration will also emerge, and envy can give way to more creative relations.” − Wendy Espeland, Northwestern University; co-author of Engines of Anxiety: Academic Rankings, Reputation, and Accountability “It is now established that data is entangled with politics and embedded in history and society.

The library is available here: https://www.issmge.org/publications/online-library This is an open-access database that archives thousands of papers published under the Auspices of the ISSMGE and maintained by the Innovation and Development Committee of ISSMGE. Tall buildings and deep foundations – Middle East challenges Hauts bâtiments et fondations profondes – challenges du Moyen Orient Harry G. Poulos Coffey Geotechnics & University of Sydney, Australia ABSTRACT This paper will describe a foundation design process for high-rise buildings. The process will be illustrated via its application to three high-rise building projects in Dubai, the Emirates Twin Towers, the Burj Dubai, and the Nakheel Tall Tower. The Burj Dubai is now the world’s tallest building and the Nakheel Tower will become the world’s tallest when completed. The foundation system for each of the towers was a piled raft, founded on deep deposits of carbonate soils and rocks. For each case, an outline will be given of the geotechnical investigations undertaken, the field and laboratory testing programs, and the design process. Of particular concern in these cases was a potential issue of low skin friction and cyclic degradation of skin friction. A numerical computer analysis that was adopted for the design process, using a limit state approach, will be described. For the Emirates project, a comprehensive program of pile load testing was undertaken and “Class A” predictions of both axial and lateral load-deflection behaviour were in fair agreement with the load test results.

The lead story provided an unexpected relevance to the trip --- my first to Dubai. Dubai World, owned by the Dubai government, had announced a 6-month moratorium on payments of some of its $60 billion in debt. Since the announcement, stock markets have been dropping and recovering, company officials have attempted to calm borrowers and government officials have provided less assurance than Dubai’s investors might have preferred, though richer, neighboring Abu Dhabi backstopped Dubai with $10 billion in December. The United Arab Emirates: Dubai is one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which like the United States and Canada is a federation. Broadly speaking, the emirates are as states or provinces. By far the richest is Abu Dhabi, with something like 10% of the world’s oil reserves.

  • Affecting Factors in Information Security Policy Compliance: Combine Organisational Factors and User Habits
    Affecting Factors in Information Security Policy Compliance: Combine Organisational Factors and User Habits Angraini1,4, Rose Alinda Alias2 and Okfalisa3 1School of Computing, Faculty Engineering, University Technology Malaysia, 81310 Johor, Malaysia 2Department of Information System, Azman Hashim International Business School, University Technology Malaysia,81310 Johor Malaysia 3Department of Informatics Engineering, Faculty Science and Technology, Universitas Islam Negeri Sultan Syarif Kasim, Pekanbaru, Riau 4Department of Information System, Faculty Science and Technology, Universitas Islam Negeri Sultan Syarif Kasim, Pekanbaru, Riau [email protected] Abstract. Information security policy compliance is one concern of organisations to improve information security, including universities. Previous research has shown that factors that influence user compliance can come from user behaviour and from within the organisation. This study aims to explore the factors of organisation and user habits that affect user compliance with information security policies. The research model proposed used organisational commitment, organisational culture, reward, and habit variables—this research conducted with a case study of public universities in Indonesia by using an online survey. The results indicated that the factors derived from organisational commitment established a positive influence on the user’s respectful behaviour. The insignificant organisational culture and reward affected information security policies. User habits also influenced user behaviour in maintaining information security. Keywords: compliance, information security policy, organisation commitment, organisation culture, habit. 1 Introduction There has been a growth in research to devote more attention to information security due to a significant increase in threats and attacks on information security. Cybersecurity Ventures estimates that a business will fall victim to ransomware attacks every 14 seconds in 2019 and every 11 seconds in 2021 [1].

  • The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle
    The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle By Stefan Johannes Al A dissertation submitted in the partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Professor Greig Crysler Professor Ananya Roy Professor Michael Southworth Fall 2010 The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle © 2010 by Stefan Johannes Al Abstract The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle by Stefan Johannes Al Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Over the past 70 years, various actors have dramatically reconfigured the Las Vegas Strip in many forms. I claim that behind the Strip’s “reinventions” lies a process of symbolic destruction. Since resorts distinguish themselves symbolically, each new round of capital accumulation relies on the destruction of symbolic capital of existing resorts. A new resort either ups the language within a paradigm, or causes a paradigm shift, which devalues the previous resorts even further. This is why, in the context of the Strip, buildings have such a short lifespan. This dissertation is chronologically structured around the four building booms of new resort construction that occurred on the Strip. Historically, there are periodic waves of new casino resort constructions with continuous upgrades and renovation projects in between. They have been successively theorized as suburbanization, corporatization, Disneyfication, and global branding. Each building boom either conforms to a single paradigm or witnesses a paradigm shift halfway: these paradigms have been theorized as Wild West, Los Angeles Cool, Pop City, Corporate Modern, Disneyland, Sim City, and Starchitecture.
