“…With more training and attention paid to the mediating influence of platforms, historians need to go down a mental checklist and consider the roles of mediation, algorithmic bias, and context both when they write, read, and evaluate scholarship. 1 Allt mer forskningsfinansiering inom humaniora går till digitalisering. Samtidigt har forskare och minnesinstitutioner delvis olika syften med sina insatser.…”

Historical research is increasingly dependent on digital methods to find materials and information online. This requires a very different form of source criticism in order to understand what is available or not through different services. In this paper we present an overview of how digitalised heritage data from Swedish museums and archives are made publicly available on various platforms today, and highlight the often hidden challenges researchers face when trying to make use of them. The study is grounded in the FAIR data principles: to which extent is digitalised heritage data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable? Content available through aggregated web services by the National Heritage Board, the National Archives and the Royal Library, among several others, are examined and compared. The published collections data of the Nordic Museum are used to highlight the limits of FAIR. We identify areas where lack of national strategies and good digital practices causes problems, and suggest ways forward. Digitalisation is much more than digital versions of analogue practices and materials. Trusted vocabularies combined with linked data and persistent identifiers will enable a richer and more multivocal heritage that is not restricted in space or to the information that fits onto a catalogue card. Researchers and heritage institutions need deeper collaboration to ensure digitalisation results in usable data, and they need to embrace good digital practices.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) usage is mandated for all employees to prevent workplace accidents and foster a safe and healthy work environment. Using YOLOv8 machine learning and Google Colab's web-based development environment, this research aims to create an immediate detection system for PPE violations in the workplace. By keeping track of PPE compliance, the system is intended to increase workplace safety and prevent accidents. The dataset is collected through a mixture of real-life image gathering and internet datasets. Various images are collected that aim to train the model to detect objects from afar, close, and individually. The research methodology includes a review of the literature, the gathering, pre-processing, and training of models. According to the use of safety helmets, safety shoes, and gloves, there are three different classes of detection based on the bounding box. The system successfully detected the classes with an overall score above 0.8. The safety helmet achieved 0.969, the safety gloves achieved 0.857, followed by the safety vest with 0.887. The findings from this study indicate that the developed system can effectively improve occupational safety and health management. However, there is a detection error factor caused by the lighting and colors. Future research can focus on integrating the system with other work safety systems to provide a comprehensive solution for accident prevention.

“…Digital tools are affecting the collection, organisation, interpretation, and presentation of sources as well as the communication of historians with colleagues, students, and the broader public. Digital literacy is thus crucial for today's historians [1]- [3]. New media are also reshaping archives and libraries in unpredictable ways.…”

Digital History and Immaterial Infrastructure: A Bottom-Up Approach

This paper argues for an expanded view of research infrastructure. Drawing on our experiences leading the research platform DigitalHistory@Lund, it shows how research capacity can be unlocked “bottom-up”, by providing scholars with comparatively cheap—yet often inaccessible— technological support. By engaging researchers in digitally enabled scholarly practices, the platform yielded a multiplying effect that has seen participants produce highly competitive grant applications and eventually bring home external funding currently worth eight times the platform’s original costs. The platform thus demonstrates the importance of “immaterial” infrastructure in the sense of basic organisational structures that facilitate collaboration and communication.
