The Delft Method for System Dynamics - Modelling Exercises

These modelling exercises are part of the TU Delft Open textbook "The Delft Method for System Dynamics". The Delft Method for System Dynamics (SD) is a proven method of learning basic System Dynamics. The method focusses on learning by doing: first you try to make an exercise, and if you do not understand something or do not know something, then you can look it up in the theory part of the book. The book contains theory exercises on topics like causal loop diagramming, delays, and how to motivate why SD is appropriate. The book also contains modelling exercises that show students how to build low to medium complexity models, and how to use these quantitative models for scenario or policy analysis. The theory chapters cover all phases of the modelling cycle: problem articulation, conceptualisation, formulation, evaluation (including validation and scenario analysis), and policy analysis. This book is intended for students and educators in large or small System Dynamics courses, and for motivated students that want to learn SD in their own pace.

Sowing: The Construction of Historical Longitudinal Population Databases

Twenty-three major databases containing historical longitudinal population data are presented and discussed in this volume, focusing on their aims, content, design, and structure. Some of these databases are based on pure longitudinal sources, such as population registers that continuously observe and record demographic events, including migration and family and household composition. Other databases are family reconstitutions, based on birth, marriage and death records. The third and last category consists of semi-longitudinal databases, that combine, for instance, civil records and censuses and/ or tax registers. The volume traces the origins of historical longitudinal databases from the 1970s and discusses their expansion worldwide, in terms of sources and hard- and software. The contributions highlight the unique genesis and common developmental arcs of these databases, which are rooted in the fields of quantitative history, social and demographic history, and the history of ordinary people. The importance of these databases in advancing knowledge and insights in various disciplines is emphasized and demonstrated, along with the challenges and opportunities they face. The collection of technical descriptions of these databases represents the most comprehensive and up-to-date overview of large database with longitudinal micro-data on historical populations. It includes descriptions of databases from Europe, North America, East-Asia, Australia, South-Africa and Suriname. Technical details, in terms of data entry, cleaning, standardization and record linkage are meticulously documented. The volume is a must-have for all scholars in the field of historical life course studies. To access individual chapters, please visit Historical Life Course Studies: https://hlcs.nl/specialissue5

The European Experience

The European Experience brings together the expertise of nearly a hundred historians from eight European universities to internationalise and diversify the study of modern European history, exploring a grand sweep of time from 1500 to 2000. Offering a valuable corrective to the Anglocentric narratives of previous English-language textbooks, scholars from all over Europe have pooled their knowledge on comparative themes such as identities, cultural encounters, power and citizenship, and economic development to reflect the complexity and heterogeneous nature of the European experience. Rather than another grand narrative, the international author teams offer a multifaceted and rich perspective on the history of the continent of the past 500 years. Each major theme is dissected through three chronological sub-chapters, revealing how major social, political and historical trends manifested themselves in different European settings during the early modern (1500–1800), modern (1800–1900) and contemporary period (1900–2000). This resource is of utmost relevance to today’s history students in the light of ongoing internationalisation strategies for higher education curricula, as it delivers one of the first multi-perspective and truly ‘European’ analyses of the continent’s past. Beyond the provision of historical content, this textbook equips students with the intellectual tools to interrogate prevailing accounts of European history, and enables them to seek out additional perspectives in a bid to further enrich the discipline.

De verborgen estafette: Hoe de kiembaan de generaties verbindt

Voortplanting en genetica zijn de centrale thema’s van de biologie. Ook hebben ze te maken met levensvragen als: waar komen we vandaan, wat zijn we en waar gaan we naartoe. In de gecombineerde wetenschap, voorplantingsgenetica, worden de generaties met elkaar verbonden en speelt vruchtbaarheid een grote rol. De cellijn die daar verantwoordelijk voor is, staat bekend als de kiembaan, met de gameten als de functionele producten. Het boek volgt de kiembaan en poogt door een vrijer en meer verhalend gebruik van de taal de kloof tussen een academisch tekstboek en de maatschappij te overbruggen. Persoonlijke ervaringen worden niet gemeden, maar domineren niet. Het boek is bedoeld voor mensen die professioneel met deze materie te maken hebben of krijgen, ook in het onderwijs en de journalistiek, maar is door de prachtige kleurenillustraties en een actuele verklarende woordenlijst ook geschikt voor geïnteresseerden zonder professionele achtergrond.

African Resilience

Welcome to AFRICAN RESILIENCE. By using both their differences and similarities, for instance in background, interests and creativity, four students of the MSc Environmental Engineering of the TU Delft created a game that aims to increase the resilience of the city of Cape Town, South Africa. The resilience of a city is determined by its ability to prepare, adapt and recover from stresses, long during destructive events and its following more sudden shocks. The game was created by Charlotte Raven, Liselotte Wisman, Ranjeev Bhatia and Yidan Xu.

Population Growth in Jakarta, Indonesia

Population growth threatens Jakarta’s resilience as it exacerbates the effects of climate change and impacts the social, environmental, and technological systems in the urban network. This report investigates the problems Jakarta faces due to population growth, potential solution strategies, and ethical considerations. Solution strategies span the mobility, housing, natural resources, and economic spaces. Political and religious aspects of ethical considerations are explored as well as a proposed framework for monitoring the efficacy of solution strategies. Finally, recommendations for further reading and discussion questions are provided.
