Studies of international migration frequently make use of data collected as part of the administrative procedure through which persons entering or leaving a country by an approved route pass. Such databases often are used quite uncritically. This article reports on idiosyncrasies of two official national migration databases, most of which became apparent when trying to account for marked differences in their estimates of both migratory and more short-term population movement between the two countries, and for variation over time in the pattern of differences. It is shown that the use of apparently similar broad classification principles, by different countries and through time within a country, can create impressions of comparability and continuity that may be quite misleading. Before using data of this type one should examine carefully how subsidiary classification concepts have been defined and the manner in which both these and the broader principles have been translated into questions on travel documents and data processing conventions.

Change has been the rule in the history of life. Mammals today dominate the terrestrial habitats where dinosaurs once held sway. In modern oceans, ecologists can study many species of arthropods, but trilobites are long gone. Using data from the fossil record, David Raup estimated that only about one in a thousand species that ever lived on this planet is still alive today (Raup, 1991). On the other hand, the number of species and higher taxa has increased steadily over geologic time. Thus the history of life is essentially a history of turnover of species, lineages and higher taxa over time.

Using Data

The collection and use of data from large scale farming operations provided significant insights into drivers of sheep performance. These drivers included minimum two-tooth liveweight at tupping, ewe condition and pasture cover at lambing and the importance of weaning weight on whole farm performance. Using this data to demonstrate the influence of management decisions resulted in an increase in average lamb liveweight gain between birth and weaning of approximately 20 g/day in Landcorp Farming Ltd East Coast flocks over the 4 years of monitoring. Lambing percentage was harder to change, though individual farms increased lambing percentage by up to 35% by concentrating on increasing feed allocation and maintaining ewe body condition score during winter. Low liveweight in some two-tooth ewes was inversely related to the percentage of dries in a flock and prompted more emphasis on growing replacement stock. The programme shifted focus from short-term tactical feeding and management decisions to long-term strategies such as stock and sales policies that placed the breeding flock as the major priority. Keywords: breeding ewes, data, lambing percentage, lambs, liveweight gain, whole flock analysis.

Bagaric and Alexander ( 2014 ) argue for fundamental reform of the sentencing process for white-collar offenders in Australia and other jurisdictions. This study has two objectives. First, it challenges Bagaric and Alexander’s proposals. Second, using data from cases prosecuted by the New Zealand Serious Fraud Office, it instead proposes that white-collar offenders should not receive more lenient treatment in the justice system due to the privileged position from which the offending commences. This article suggests that an absence of restitution should be considered an aggravating factor, rather than the presence of restitution viewed as a mitigating factor; as an offender’s good character is often an enabler of the offending, this should not be considered as a mitigating factor and as extra-curial punishments, such as reputation damage or loss of future employment opportunities, are short-term for white-collar offenders, there is little justification for reduced sentences and extra-curial punishments can be viewed as a natural corollary of the offending.

This article aims to develop a new narrative of changes in the Ottoman timar system independent of the complaints of decline brought by advice writers like Mustafa ‘Ali. Based on the icmal defterleri, it examines the identities of timar-holders and their changes over time, a topic generally ignored in descriptions of the Ottoman military. Using data from earlier studies, it connects changes in timar-holding with changing conditions in the sultans’ reigns. It then takes a longer-term look at these changes over the half-centuries and finds the well-known complaints in the nasihatnameler to be based on a very short-term view of the system.

This chapter examines how digitalization influences companies’ pursuit of competitive advantage. The chapter makes the case that the creation and use of data has led companies across diverse industries to embrace three broad strategic priorities, using data for: (1) constant optimizing, (2) experimenting to diversify to new products and services, and (3) building interactive digital relationships with customers, suppliers, and partners. While these priorities are not unique to data-savvy corporations, they benefit directly from real-time data and smart automation. As digitalization often erodes firms’ ability to exploit unique resources or capabilities for sustained profits over time, they pursue greater agility and innovativeness. To accomplish this, companies invest in digital infrastructures that enable them to identify and react to environmental changes more rapidly.

Over Time

<p>Seismic tremor has previously been reported in the Marlborough (New Zealand) region, with detections made using the national GeoNet network. However, because of the sparsity of that network, only 40 tremors were detected using 6 stations. We conducted a similar analysis again, but this time using data from 4 stations from the GeoNet network as well as 16 stations from a local campaign network, bringing the total number of stations to 20. Our new tremor catalog contains 4699 tremors (around 100 times more events than the previous catalog) and spans the period 2013-2019 which include the major 2016 Mw7.9 Kaikoura earthquake. Based on our current knowledge, that makes the Marlborough region the most active region for tremors in New Zealand.</p><p> </p><p>The observed tremor in the region are split into two clusters, separated by a gap of around 20 km. The South-West cluster has an elongated shape in the direction of the upper-plate dextral strike-slip (Hope and Clarence) faults. The occurrence of tremor before the Mw 7.9 Kaikoura earthquake is fairly constant over time. After the earthquake however we observe  a strong acceleration in the rate of tremor, that slowly recovers over time. At the end of the analysis (May 2019), more than 2 years after Kaikoura earthquake, the tremor burst rate has still not recovered to the previous rate before the earthquake. We also observe several episodes of tremor migration, with a migration velocity of around ~50km/day, most of the migration being from South-West to North-East.</p><p> </p><p>This new tremor catalog provides a unique opportunity to better understand possible interaction of a major earthquake with the tremor activity and will help to better understand the local tectonic activity of the Marlborough region.</p><p> </p>

Immigrant Men

International migration of couples is rising. Still, there is little evidence on men’s and women’s domestic work hours before and after migration. This is despite the fact that domestic work provides deep insights into family life and, for migrants, is directly linked to integration. Therefore, this study examines how immigrant men and women change their domestic work hours following migration, using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). Our results show that domestic work hours increase for both genders after immigration. However, men are more responsible for running errands than women in the first years after migration. In the long term, the gender gaps return to the pre-migration state, with women shouldering a greater load than men. Accordingly, this study shows that migration only has a short-term impact on couples’ division of domestic work.
