Politeness AND Executing Inclusive Metadata with OK Libraries & Archives

As of 2018, Oklahoma ranked as the politest state in the country. This ranking speaks to a powerful intention. Often politeness and respect are defined as synonymous, but these words are not the same. During this humanity driven conversation, Suzette Chang, Founder/CEO of Thick Descriptions an organization that disrupts traditional educational methods with anthropology to help humans thrive where they are building stronger communities, attendees will learn and discuss how politeness can be a barrier to accurately and respectfully describing materials related to underrepresented communities. Participants will laugh/smile/giggle/reflect and strategically think about how to be polite AND offer inclusive metadata

Hydro Turbine Rehabilitation

Presented to Hydraulic Power Section, Canadian Electrical AssociationThe high cost of new hydro capacity is prompting many utilities to investigate the costs and benefits of rehabilitating hydroelectric equipment at existing powerplants. In many instances turbines with runners which are 20 years old or over can be equipped with new runners, which will increase capacity by 5% to 15%, and often increase efficiency by 5% to 10%. In other instances, where the equipment is near the end of its useful life, new units can be installed to give similar increases in capacity and efficiency. This paper describes the work associated with the installation of new runners at five plants, and the installation of new units at three other small hydro plants

The housing crisis in England: seeing the wood for the trees

This thesis tests the perception of a housing crisis in England, to assess the extent to which housing policy since 1993 has impacted on the provision of more housing and to explore the idea that effective strategic leadership might be a factor in addressing housing issues. The research was conducted within the positivist paradigm and explored 3 propositions using mixed methods and utilising Tableau and Nvivo software packages and the Delphi survey method. Analysis of each proposition was effected using triangulation, and a specific tool was developed to assist with the framing of the analysis. The research demonstrates that there is no case for suggesting that there is a housing crisis in England because the features of the problem do not meet the criteria of a crisis. However, the housing problem has all the features of a Wicked Problem. The research shows that policy since 1993 has had no direct impact on the provision of new build housing, although the relationship between populations, dwelling and average occupancy all indicate sufficient provision and a reduction in average occupancy. The thesis finds that leadership demonstrated by actors and agencies in housing represent autocratic, bureaucratic behaviours with few examples of democratic, transformational or innovative styles. Research into the relationship between strategic leadership and housing is scant and worthy of further investment. The thesis develops an evolving theorem that takes the housing problem outside of the crisis domain and places it within the construct of a Wicked Problem. This research will be of interest to policy makers, the construction and development industry, the social housing sector and academia
