Chemical/Laboratory Techniques: Gloves

This open video (CC-BY-NC-SA) was created by chemistry teachers of the Faculty of Science and Engineering of the University of Groningen for use in the lab at their faculty. The description of for the video reads the following: Gloves are commonly used pieces of personal protection equipment (PPE), besides lab glasses and lab coats. The gloves are meant to protect your hands against accidental spillage and should only be worn when working with hazardous chemicals and taken off as soon as possible when your gloves are exposed to chemicals while conducting experiments in the lab.

Syllabus Political Epistemology (master course, PPE master)

This is a syllabus for the course Political Epistemology – Knowledge and in Markets and Democracy from the PPE master of Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Groningen. It contains the course structure and assigned readings for the 8 week course. The course summary reads as follows: We live in societies marked by the interplay of capitalist markets and democratic political structures. Both markets and democracies are mechanisms of social coordination in which the aggregation of knowledge plays an important role. But what is knowledge in the first place? Does it make sense to refer to notions of “truth” or “facts” in political contexts? And how does the use of knowledge work in different social spheres? While markets aggregate certain forms of knowledge through the price mechanism, democracies attempt to do so through deliberation and voting. What are the strengths and weaknesses of these mechanisms, and how well do they work for different forms of knowledge? What difference does it make that we live in a “digital age”? And last but not least: how do the ways in which societies deal with knowledge influence the delicate interplay between capitalism and democracy?

Save the city: Maputo Resilience Game

This game models how Maputo responds to shocks and stresses and strives to increase its resilience from 2020 through 2050. There are four subsystems in the game: agriculture, health care, society and culture, and infrastructure. Each subsystem represents an important part of the city and should try to increase their resilience through developing and maintaining adaptation measures. Each measure has a different effect on the resilience of a subsystem. There are a range of shocks and stresses that can disrupt the city. The game takes time, the government’s budget, probability, and cooperation into account to represent some of the complex factors at play real world.

Air pollution in Shanghai

This paper uses Shanghai as an example to analyze urban resilience in relation to the potential shocks and stresses caused by air pollution. Shocks such as smog and acid rain may cause damages to the economy, community and environment of the city. Stresses, on the other hand, will affect the city in the long run. It is also more difficult to remove stresses from the urban systems in comparison to shocks. For air pollution in Shanghai, stresses could be climate change, increasing population, increasing vehicle demand, and increasing emissions due to economic growth. Multi-level solutions are proposed in this paper targeting the shocks and stresses. At personal level, the importance of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) and Environment Health and Safety (EHS) policies is discussed; at national level, enforcing environmental tax and investing in New Energy Vehicles (NEV) would also help to reduce the effects of shocks and stresses. In addition, some practical engineering solutions are introduced. For further discussion, ethical issues implied in this paper are raised. For example, some protective measures are suggested in the paper, but how to evaluate the implementation of these measures and how to ensure the vulnerable groups are protected when they are affected by the air pollution? To summarize, this paper focuses on the urban resilience in shanghai and includes topics about problems, solutions, and open discussions that are related to air pollution.
