Seit 10 Monaten sinkt die Anzahl der monatlich aktiven #Mastodon-Nutzer. Ich war hoffnungsfroh, dass wir es schaffen, das erste unkommerzielle Social Network zu etablieren. Stattdessen scheint es nun wieder in der Bedeutungslosigkeit zu versinken.

This online map provides information about bathing water locations and their quality for both the latest 2023 season and previous seasons.
The map symbols are colored to reflect the quality status achieved in the most recent season.
The data is presented at two levels:
country (less detailed scales) and bathing water (more detailed scales).
In addition to the 27 EU Member States, the bathing water viewer includes also the data for Albania and Switzerland

State of bathing waters in 2023
We all want to know the quality of 'our' local bathing area, beach or lake, and whether it conforms to EU standards. Below you will find a map viewer that will allow you to view on-line the quality of the bathing water in the around 22 000 coastal beaches and freshwater bathing waters across Europe.

Challenging the Machine: Contestability in Government AI Systems
In an October 2023 executive order (EO), President Biden issued a detailed but largely aspirational road map for the safe and responsible development and use of artificial intelligence (AI). The challenge for the January 24-25, 2024 workshop was to transform those aspirations regarding one specific but crucial issue -- the ability of individuals to challenge government decisions made about themselves -- into actionable guidance enabling agencies to develop, procure, and use genuinely contestabl…

Yet more journallistic malpractice in NYT coverage of Biden.
Quotes Jodie Evans, a demonstrator against Biden, describing her simply as a "political activist and documentary producer." No mention of the Times's own reporting last August that her husband "works closely with the Chinese government media machine and is financing its propaganda worldwide" & Evans herself "stridently supports China" and works closely with her husband.

The Times unraveled a financial network that stretches from Chicago to Shanghai and uses American nonprofits to push Chinese talking points worldwide.

History-enhanced ICT For Sustainability education: Learning together with Business Computing students
This research explores the use of History to enhance education in the field of ICT For Sustainability ICT4S in response to a challenge from the ICT4S 2023 conference. No previous studies were found in ICT4S but the literature on History and Education for Sustainable Development is reviewed. An ICT4S lecturer collaborated with History lecturers to add an historic parallel to each weeks teaching on a Sustainable Business and Computing unit for final year undergraduate BSc Business Computing stude…

Bifurcations of periodic orbits in the 3D secular planetary 3-Body problem: an approach through an integrable Hamiltonian system
We analyze, through a geometric description, the sequence of bifurcations of periodic orbits in a Hamiltonian model derived from the normalization of the secular 3D planetary three body problem. Stemming from the results in (Mastroianni & Efthymiopoulos 2023) we analyze the phase space of the corresponding integrable approximation. In particular, we propose a normal form leading to an integrable Hamiltonian whose sequence of bifurcations is qualitatively the same as that in the complete system.…
