College-presentatie over netwerkleren, persoonlijke netwerken en managed leernetwerken (PLN's en MLN's) , crowdsourcing en co-creatie en de betekenis hiervan voor de eigen beroepspraktijk en -organisatie.
This paper is part of a study focusing on the terminological and socio-organizational analysis of a corpus of 18 national and international standards, written in English, in the domains of business continuity activity management and risk management. The aim is to determine whether lobbying by certain countries seeking to impose their own national standards is a decisive element in standardization. First, we present the building of a new tool, called KONTRAST, designed to exploit the terminological variants in a non-stabilized terminological domain. Then we describe the workflow to build an RDF/SKOS/OWL base from an XML glossary and a use case to illustrate the ability of KONTRAST to detect influence networks.

Liberal Democracy
CH 6: Riemer, Simon, & Romance
Political Ideologies
Political ideologies are the beliefs and practices that guide political actors in political communities;
Ideologies reflect the underlying vision of political actors;
Major ideologies that have traditionally dominated contemporary politics are liberal democracy, democratic socialism, and communism;
Ideologies help explain the purposes, principles, and rules of politics; allow us to examine what political actors say they ought to do and what they actually do;
Central question of Chapter 6 is, “What are the strengths and weaknesses of liberal democracy?”
Definition of Liberal Democracy
Traditional definition of liberal democracy is a constitutional government characterized by popular rule, protection of basic rights, and political and economic competition.
Liberal democracy embodies two ideals:
(1) Liberal parts of definition include constitutionalism, protection of basic rights, political and economic competition, and free choice at the ballot box and the marketplace.
(2) Democratic parts of the definition include popular rule, freedom, and equality.
Liberalism in the United States today is a political ideology that favors government intervention in the interest of public welfare, social justice, and fair play.
Historically, had taken a laissez-faire economic approach which demanded minimal government interference in the economy.
Liberalism has always recognized a common good; what has been at issue is the meaning of that common good and the means to achieve it.
Combining the ideals of liberalism and democracy helps us comprehend the guiding liberal democratic vision which calls for the freest and fullest possible realization of individual freedom within the framework of the common good.
Liberty can be understood as the right of an individual to act uncoerced by government and to be free from government imposed unlawful or arbitrary control.
Liberal democratic vision is a pluralistic approach providing for justice as well as order and for the general welfare as well as liberty; because many persons, groups, and interests seek fulfillment, a balance must be struck in a highly diverse political community;
Most influential school of liberal democratic thought in contemporary America is pluralism; balance can be achieved through a constitutional system of representative democracy, with the help of skillful leaders and resourceful political parties, with the recognition that a rough approximation of the public interest emerges from the clash of contending interests, and in accord with policies that advance the general welfare.
The Ideals of Liberal Democracy
Liberal democrats want their political ideals to be reflected in actual political practice and they endorse pluralism because society includes many interests seeking to protect and advance them.
The struggles of contending issues constitute the raw materials of politics and are inevitabl ...

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
