Henberg Takes Holistic Approach

Long before the whisper of terms like global warming and carbon footprints, before SIGG bottles and reusable shopping bags, Marvin Henberg was already a committed environmental advocate

Strengthening Data Security: an Holistic Approach

In the light of heightened concern around data security, this paper highlights some of the measures that can be used to develop and strengthen security in data archiving. The paper includes discussion of the different approaches that can be taken towards the construction of firm and resilient data and information security policies within the social science data archiving communities. While international standards can provide theoretical guidelines for the construction of such a policy, procedures need to be informed by more practical considerations. Attention is drawn to the necessity of following a holistic approach to data security, which includes the education of data creators in the reduction of disclosure risk, the integration of robust and appropriate data processing, handling and management procedures, the value of emerging technological solutions, the training of data users in data security, and the importance of management control, as well as the need to be informed by emerging government security and digital preservation standards

A Holistic Approach in Embedded System Development

We present pState, a tool for developing "complex" embedded systems by integrating validation into the design process. The goal is to reduce validation time. To this end, qualitative and quantitative properties are specified in system models expressed as pCharts, an extended version of hierarchical state machines. These properties are specified in an intuitive way such that they can be written by engineers who are domain experts, without needing to be familiar with temporal logic. From the system model, executable code that preserves the verified properties is generated. The design is documented on the model and the documentation is passed as comments into the generated code. On the series of examples we illustrate how models and properties are specified using pState.Comment: In Proceedings F-IDE 2015, arXiv:1508.0338

a holistic approach

As finanças sustentáveis estão a ser motivadas por uma panóplia de fatores, entre os quais estão as forças de mercado e os impulsos legislativos. Por um lado, o desenvolvimento é impulsionado por legislação, como o Plano de Ação da União Europeia para as Finanças Sustentáveis e o Regulamento de Divulgação de Finanças Sustentáveis. Estas iniciativas estabelecem objetivos e medidas claras para promover o investimento sustentável e exigem que os participantes do mercado financeiro divulguem informações sobre a sustentabilidade dos seus investimentos. Por outro lado, o desenvolvimento das finanças sustentáveis está também a ser impulsionado pelas forças do mercado, tais como a crescente procura de produtos de investimento sustentáveis e o crescente reconhecimento dos potenciais riscos e oportunidades associados à sustentabilidade. Os investidores estão cada vez mais à procura de formas de alinhar os seus investimentos com os seus valores e de apoiar a transição para uma economia mais sustentável. Globalmente, o desenvolvimento das finanças sustentáveis está a ser impulsionado tanto pela legislação como pelas forças de mercado. Um factor-chave é o reconhecimento crescente dos riscos e oportunidades potenciais associados à sustentabilidade. medida que aumenta a consciência de questões como as alterações climáticas e a degradação ambiental, os investidores estão a tornar-se mais conscientes dos potenciais impactos dos seus investimentos na sustentabilidade. Ao mesmo tempo, há também um reconhecimento crescente dos potenciais riscos e oportunidades associados à sustentabilidade, à medida que governos e empresas começam a implementar políticas e estratégias para apoiar a transição para uma economia de baixo carbono. Em resultado destes fatores, os investidores procuram cada vez mais formas de alinhar os seus investimentos com os seus valores e de apoiar a transição para uma economia mais sustentável. Isto está a levar a uma procura crescente de produtos e serviços de investimento sustentáveis, tais como obrigações verdes e outros instrumentos que apoiam a transição para uma economia com baixo teor de carbono. Outro fator fundamental para o desenvolvimento de finanças sustentáveis é a crescente disponibilidade de informação e dados sobre sustentabilidade. medida que mais dados se tornam disponíveis sobre o desempenho ambiental, social e de governança (ESG) das empresas e outros agentes económicos, os investidores estão mais aptos a avaliar a sustentabilidade dos seus investimentos e a tomar decisões mais informadas. Isto está também a conduzir ao desenvolviimento de novas referências e índices que consideram os fatores dos ESG, proporcionando aos investidores ferramentas adicionais para avaliar a sustentabilidade dos seus investimentos. Globalmente, o desenvolvimento do financiamento sustentável está a ser impulsionado por uma combinação de fatores, incluindo tanto a legislação como as forças de mercado. e à medida que mais dados e ferramentas se tornam disponíveis para apoiar o investimento sustentável, é provável que a procura de financiamento sustentável continue a crescer.Sustainable finance is being motivated by a combination of factors, including both legislative and market forces. On the one hand, the development of sustainable finance is being spurred by legislation, such as the EU Sustainable Finance Action Plan and the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). These initiatives set out clear objectives and measures for promoting sustainable investment and require financial market participants to disclose information about the sustainability of their investments. On the other hand, the development of sustainable finance is also being driven by market forces, such as the growing demand for sustainable investment products and the increasing recognition of the potential risks and opportunities associated with sustainability. Investors are increasingly looking for ways to align their investments with their values and to support the transition to a more sustainable economy. Overall, the development of sustainable finance is being driven by both legislation and market forces. One key factor is the growing recognition of the potential risks and opportunities associated with sustainability. As awareness of issues like climate change and environmental degradation increases, investors are becoming more aware of the potential impacts of their investments on sustainability. At the same time, there is also growing recognition of the potential risks and opportunities associated with sustainability, as governments and businesses begin to implement policies and strategies to support the transition to a low-carbon economy. As a result of these factors, investors are increasingly looking for ways to their investments with their values and to support the transition to a more sustainable economy. This is leading to growing demand for sustainable investment products and services, such as green bonds and other instruments that support the transition to a low-carbon economy. Another key factor driving the development of sustainable finance is the increasing availability of information and data on sustainability. As more data becomes available on the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance of companies and other economic actors, investors are better able to assess the sustainability of their investments and make more informed decisions. This is also leading to the development of new benchmarks and indices that consider ESG factors, providing investors with additional tools for assessing the sustainability of their investments. Overall, the development of sustainable finance is being driven by a combination of factors, including both legislation and market forces. As more data and tools become available to support sustainable investment, the demand for sustainable finance is likely to continue to grow
