Survivor Perspectives on Institutional Use of Child Sexual Abuse Material

This literature review draws together literature describing how child sexual abuse material (CSAM) is currently used in institutional contexts – by police, courts, academic and policy researchers and private sector entities. In doing so, it reveals that there has historically been scant engagement with victims and survivors about such uses, and little research into the impacts of reuse for individuals who are depicted in CSAM. Despite the specificities of CSAM experience (as described by victims and survivors), and the recognised value of lived experience perspectives, inclusion of CSAM victim and survivor perspectives in research design and policies governing institutional reuse of this material is still a rarity. We hypothesise that better outcomes can be achieved for children and adults who experience victimisation through CSAM if these perspectives are prioritised in ways that are supported by human-centred and trauma-informed research and practice

The perpetual twilight of records:consentful recordkeeping as moral defence

In this article, we examine the significance of establishing participatory and consentful recordkeeping practice in the face of ubiquitous use of records beyond their original intent. Among such secondary uses is the decontextualisation of data as part of the 'industrialisation' of access and use of ‘historical’ records within current transactional contexts, together with a wide range of data sharing practices arising from contemporary data science paradigms. To situate the call to action for consentful recordkeeping practice, we begin the article by exploring how human ability to navigate through the perpetual twilight of records becomes increasingly murky when a wholesale approach to data collection and governance is applied by machine learning practitioners. We then re-frame some classical archival principles to align them with participatory approaches; specifically, by expanding the scope of Jenkinsonian ‘moral defence’ as an imperative for proactive engagement with the Archival Multiverse. We then describe a case study of consentful recordkeeping in practice, using the example of the AiLECS Lab’s newly developed collection acquisition and management system. This principles-based framework informs our practices for collecting and curating datasets for machine learning research and development and aims to privilege the ongoing consent of those represented in records to their use. In the context of this work, our core premise is that technologies designed to prevent exploitation of children should aim to avoid underlying data practices that are themselves exploitative (of children or adults).</p

Management aspects of accounting for biological assets and agricultural products

Agricultural activity is a strategic direction of the work of agricultural organizations, ensuring food independence and security of the country. In this regard, in modern conditions there is an objective need to improve the management of biotransformation of biological assets and its accounting and control functions. The work defines the objects of management and accounting of agricultural activity: biological assets; agricultural products; income, expenses and financial results from biotransformation of biological assets; government grant related to a biological asset measured at fair value less costs to sell. Recommendations are proposed on the determination and analysis of changes in the fair value of biological assets less costs to sell due to changes in unit prices and the amount of these assets. In addition, methodological aspects of monitoring the effectiveness of the use of biological assets and the production of agricultural products collected from them are identified. Each of these indicators provides indicative indicators, methods of calculation and comparison with similar indicators of the base period or planning. The following are methods for determining individual indicators from the proposed system that allow organization managers at all levels of internal management to make scientifically sound economic decisions to improve the efficiency of the processes of biological transformation of biological assets and agricultural production in agricultural organizations.</jats:p

Critical approaches to archiving and recordkeeping in the continuum

Records Continuum research is increasingly engaging with critical and participatory archiving and recordkeeping approaches to research and practice, "questioning the social constructs, values and power differentials embedded in current frameworks, processes, systems and technologies, exploring archival and recordkeeping agency, autonomy and activism, and moving beyond insight and critique with the aim of bringing about transformative outcomes."[1] In this paper, we explore the characteristics of these approaches with reference to an illustrative case, and the Records Continuum, theory, models and constructs which complement, frame and support critical archiving and recordkeeping theorizing and practice.[1] Sue McKemmish, "Recordkeeping in the Continuum: An Australian Tradition.†In Research in the Archival Multiverse edited by Anne Gilliland, Sue McKemmish and Andrew Lau.
