A team of investigative journalists has discovered so-called “Predatory publishing”. Since then media has quickly picked up the term “fake science”.

Funktionelle und morphologische Erkrankungen der Mundlippen haben bei Blasinstrumentenspielern sowohl arbeits- und sozialmedizinisch als auch gesundheitsökonomisch große Relevanz: Oftmals sind Arbeitsunfähigkeit und längerfristige Reha-Maßnahmen nötig, um die Spielfähigkeit wiederherzustellen.

„Ich kann absolut nicht verstehen, warum verdi dieses Angebot ablehnt. Im Sinne der Beschäftigten kann dies sicher nicht mehr sein. Denn es wird ja seit Wochen angeblich für die Entlastung des Personals gestreikt“, so Ekkehard Zimmer, Kaufmännischer Direktor und stellvertretender Vorstandsvorsitzender des UKD. Damit hat verdi nun wiederholt Entlastungsgespräche scheitern lassen.Im Rahmen von Hintergrundgesprächen hatte der UKD-Vorstand eine umfangreiche und rechtlich bindende Dienstvereinbarung mit dem örtlichen Personalrat vorgeschlagen.
Across London and other European cities, a new way of living is taking root: property guardianship. Blocks of flats, police stations, social housing, libraries, offices, warehouses, schools – buildings that have been taken out of use – are occupied by a new anti-squatting measure: people who guard property by living in it. Whilst ostensibly a win-win situation for everyone, this industry is a symptom of the desperate state of urban housing and ultimately reinforces the factors that caused it, as well as normalising lower conditions and precarity.
In August 2018, Serah Rono will be running a Frictionless Data workshop in CopenHagen, congregated by the Danish National Research Data Management Forum as part of the FAIR Across project. In October 2018, she will also run a Frictionless Data workshop at FORCE11 in Montreal, Canada. Ahead of the two workshops, and other events before the close of 2018, this blog post discusses how the Frictionless Data initiative aligns with FAIR research principles.

Michel Bauwens: In the p2p/commons literature of a few years ago, we introduced a way of thinking about the world that challenges the ‘accumulation of capital’ with the ‘accumulation of the common’. There is a tendency to think of this as accumulating simply capital resources of another kind, i.e. for investing (‘transvestment’) in commons-based shared resources. But remember, commons is also always commoning, i.e. it is based on human agency, i.e. an accumulation of commoning. All commons are really social commons, or they are no commons at all.
Nos últimos anos, “Os dados são o novo petróleo” tornou-se um slogan comum usado por meios de comunicação e acadêmicos para destacar o imenso valor adquirido por esta commodity do século XXI. Embora existam várias diferenças importantes entre os dois recursos, como o fato de que, ao contrário do petróleo, os dados são reutilizáveis (até mesmo para gerar mais dados), a analogia continua sendo útil para descrever a forma como a informação é usada para alimentar muitas das aplicações tecnológicas modernas.
In the last few years, “Data is the new oil” has become a common catchphrase used by media and scholars alike to highlight the immense value acquired by this 21st century commodity. Although there are several important differences between the two resources, such as the fact that, unlike oil, data is reusable (Even to generate more data), the analogy remains useful to describe the way information is used to power much of modern technological applications.
