During a visit of Professor A.-J. Tdtemeyer, the Head of the Department of Library Science of the University of Namibia, in Bonn in May 1991 the idea was discussed in more depth and plans to prepare for such a seminar were established. A meeting between Namibian information professionals and a DSE representative in Windhoek in June 1992 pa- ved the way towards the realization of the seminar in February and March 1993. The above illustrates exactly which period of time nor- mally elapses between the development of an idea for a programme of this kind and its final implementation. This seminar for

  • User Office, Proposal Handling and Analysis Software
    NOBUGS2002/031 October 11, 2002 Session Key: PB-1 User office, proposal handling and analysis software Jörn Beckmann, Jürgen Neuhaus Technische Universität München ZWE FRM-II D-85747 Garching, Germany [email protected] At FRM-II the installation of a user office software is under consideration, supporting tasks like proposal handling, beam time allocation, data handling and report creation. Although there are several software systems in use at major facilities, most of them are not portable to other institutes. In this paper the requirements for a modular and extendable user office software are discussed with focus on security related aspects like how to prevent a denial of service attack on fully automated systems. A suitable way seems to be the creation of a web based application using Apache as webserver, MySQL as database system and PHP as scripting language. PRESENTED AT NOBUGS 2002 Gaithersburg, MD, U.S.A, November 3-5, 2002 1 Requirements of user office software At FRM-II a user office will be set up to deal with all aspects of business with guest scientists. The main part is the handling and review of proposals, allocation of beam time, data storage and retrieval, collection of experimental reports and creation of statistical reports about facility usage. These requirements make off-site access to the user office software necessary, raising some security concerns which will be addressed in chapter 2. The proposal and beam time allocation process is planned in a way that scientists draw up a short description of the experiment including a review of the scientific background and the impact results from the planned experiment might have.

  • Namibia's Child Welfare Regime, 1990-2017
    CENTRE FOR SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH Namibia’s Child Welfare Regime, 1990-2017 Isaac Chinyoka CSSR Working Paper No. 431 February 2019 Published by the Centre for Social Science Research University of Cape Town 2019 http://www.cssr.uct.ac.za This Working Paper can be downloaded from: http://cssr.uct.ac.za/pub/wp/431 ISBN: 978-1-77011-418-0 © Centre for Social Science Research, UCT, 2019 About the author: Dr Isaac Chinyoka completed his PhD at the University of Cape Town in 2018. His PhD, supervised by Jeremy Seekings, examined child welfare regimes in four Southern African countries: South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. His PhD research was funded primarily by UKAid through the UK’s Economic and Social Research Council, grant ES/J018058/1 to Jeremy Seekings, for the “Legislating and Implementing Welfare Policy Reforms” research project. Namibia’s Child Welfare Regime, 1990-2017 Abstract Most countries in Southern Africa are similar in providing some form of cash transfers to families with children, primarily to reduce child poverty, but there are striking variations in the categories of children targeted and the reach of social grants. Namibia adopted South Africa-like child grants during South Africa rule. Namibia’s child welfare regime, like most other regimes in Southern Africa, started with and maintained a strongly familial child welfare regime (CWR), focused on children living in families with only one or no parents present. Whereas South Africa, after its transition to democracy, introduced a Child Support Grant (CSG) - that expanded massively the reach of child grants - Namibia did not do likewise.

  • Using Wordpress to Manage Geocontent and Promote Regional Food Products
    Farm2.0: Using Wordpress to Manage Geocontent and Promote Regional Food Products Amenity Applewhite Farm2.0: Using Wordpress to Manage Geocontent and Promote Regional Food Products Dissertation supervised by Ricardo Quirós PhD Dept. Lenguajes y Sistemas Informaticos Universitat Jaume I, Castellón, Spain Co-supervised by Werner Kuhn, PhD Institute for Geoinformatics Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität, Münster, Germany Miguel Neto, PhD Instituto Superior de Estatística e Gestão da Informação Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal March 2009 Farm2.0: Using Wordpress to Manage Geocontent and Promote Regional Food Products Abstract Recent innovations in geospatial technology have dramatically increased the utility and ubiquity of cartographic interfaces and spatially-referenced content on the web. Capitalizing on these developments, the Farm2.0 system demonstrates an approach to manage user-generated geocontent pertaining to European protected designation of origin (PDO) food products. Wordpress, a popular open-source publishing platform, supplies the framework for a geographic content management system, or GeoCMS, to promote PDO products in the Spanish province of Valencia. The Wordpress platform is modified through a suite of plug-ins and customizations to create an extensible application that could be easily deployed in other regions and administrated cooperatively by distributed regulatory councils. Content, either regional recipes or map locations for vendors and farms, is available for syndication as a GeoRSS feed and aggregated with outside feeds in a dynamic web map. To Dad, Thanks for being 2TUF: MTLI 4 EVA. Acknowledgements Without encouragement from Dr. Emilio Camahort, I never would have had the confidence to ensure my thesis handled the topics I was most passionate about studying - sustainable agriculture and web mapping.

  • Sophie's World
    Sophie’s World Jostien Gaarder Reviews: More praise for the international bestseller that has become “Europe’s oddball literary sensation of the decade” (New York Newsday) “A page-turner.” —Entertainment Weekly “First, think of a beginner’s guide to philosophy, written by a schoolteacher ... Next, imagine a fantasy novel— something like a modern-day version of Through the Looking Glass. Meld these disparate genres, and what do you get? Well, what you get is an improbable international bestseller ... a runaway hit... [a] tour deforce.” —Time “Compelling.” —Los Angeles Times “Its depth of learning, its intelligence and its totally original conception give it enormous magnetic appeal ... To be fully human, and to feel our continuity with 3,000 years of philosophical inquiry, we need to put ourselves in Sophie’s world.” —Boston Sunday Globe “Involving and often humorous.” —USA Today “In the adroit hands of Jostein Gaarder, the whole sweep of three millennia of Western philosophy is rendered as lively as a gossip column ... Literary sorcery of the first rank.” —Fort Worth Star-Telegram “A comprehensive history of Western philosophy as recounted to a 14-year-old Norwegian schoolgirl... The book will serve as a first-rate introduction to anyone who never took an introductory philosophy course, and as a pleasant refresher for those who have and have forgotten most of it... [Sophie’s mother] is a marvelous comic foil.” —Newsweek “Terrifically entertaining and imaginative ... I’ll read Sophie’s World again.” — Daily Mail “What is admirable in the novel is the utter unpretentious-ness of the philosophical lessons, the plain and workmanlike prose which manages to deliver Western philosophy in accounts that are crystal clear.
