And Control

The broadcasting world is currently undergoing a revolution. The new technologies of cable and, more importantly, satellite broadcasting have brought within reach an enormous potential expansion and diversity in broadcasting. The Broadcasting Act 1990 is the government's response to the challenge, creating a mostly new regulatory framework. Alongside technological advance there has been a growing concern with regulating programme quality, as the creation of the Broadcasting Standards Commission (placed by Pt. V of the Act on a statutory footing) bears witness. A minor, but not insignificant, place in these cross-currents of ferment is occupied by religious broadcasting. This article seeks to place the controls and duties relating to religious broadcasting under the new regime within the context of its history in the UK and to consider the extent to which the new legal and administrative controls achieve an acceptable balance between religious expression and control of standards.

The article is devoted to the study of economic contradictions related to the use and transfer of dual-use goods and technologies. The article highlights different approaches to defining the categories «technology» and «dual-use technology». Types of dual-use technologies are outlined. The main economic contradictions related to the use and transfer of dual- use goods and technologies are identified: 1) contradictions related to the creation of new technologies that can be both useful in the civilian and military spheres; 2) contradictions related to the manufacture and use of dual-use goods; 3) Contradictions are related to the creation of new means of production that can be used both for the production of civilian goods and for CBRN; 4) contradictions in the use of technological processes for the civilian and military spheres; 5) contradictions related to the development of transport and improvement of methods of delivery of CBRN; 6) contradictions between the interests of economic development of different countries on the basis of the introduction of new technologies and non-proliferation of CBRN; 7) interstate political and economic contradictions regarding the CBRN; 8) contradictions between groups of countries and individual countries regarding the non-proliferation of CBRN; 9) contradictions related to environmental pollution in the process of manufacturing and testing of CBRN; 10) contradictions in the realization of economic and political interests between countries that have modern weapons of mass destruction and countries that do not possess these weapons; 11) contradictions regarding the protection of their national interests etc. The peculiarities of the transfer of dual-use goods and technologies in the modern economy are shown and it is determined that it acquires a network character. The need to apply export controls to the transfer of dual-use goods and technologies is emphasized.

The article deals with the history of the creation and activity of the Documentalistics Commission which functioned between the 1960s and 1980s under the Scientific Council on the Complex Problem of Cybernetics. The Commission’s activities are related to the formation of documentalistics as an independent scientific discipline, its object is presented by large documentary systems, the use of new technologies in the processes of collecting, processing, searching, storing and using information. The author focuses on the transformation of the Commission’s research directions throughout the entire period of its existence. In the first years of the Commission’s work, the issues of the information classification and the use of new technological solutions in working with documents (punch cards and microphotoreproduction) were prevalent. The heyday of the Commission’s activities is associated with the work on the creation of the unified documentation systems and all-Union classifiers of information for the automated control systems. The interdisciplinary nature of the Commission’s activities influenced the subject of documentalistics and the organizational form of its existence. Despite the fact that by the end of the 1980s the Documentalistics Commission had virtually ceased to exist, documentalistics as a scientific direction had a huge impact on the development of records management and archival studies in Russia.

The Creation

In recent years, digital games have emerged as a new tool in human trafficking awareness-raising. These games reflect a trend towards ‘virtual humanitarianism’, utilising digital technologies to convey narratives of suffering with the aim of raising awareness about humanitarian issues. The creation of these games raises questions about whether new technologies will depict humanitarian problems in new ways, or simply perpetuate problematic stereotypes. This article examines three online games released in the last five years for the purpose of raising awareness about human trafficking. In analysing these games, we argue that the persistent tropes of ideal victims lacking in agency continue to dominate the narrative, with a focus on individualised problems rather than structural causes of human trafficking. However, the differing approaches taken by the games demonstrate the potential for complexity and nuance in storytelling through digital games.

Emerging from a partnership between the Master’s Degree in Design from ESMAD (Escola Superior de Media Artes e Design, Instituto Politécnico do Porto) and Arquivo Municipal da Póvoa de Varzim, the project Uma Lide de Cartazes, consist in the creation of animated posters as an improved form of advertising, inspired by the materials gathered from the archive.This study is centered around the concept of new technologies and media to enhance the static nature of traditional bullfight posters. Handles technologies as augmented reality, animations and the internet to achieve new interactive and dynamic ways to engage aesthetics and convey information. The results indicate that the use of animation dynamically changes the poster layout elements and informations captivating the viewer as well as changing the poster message. The changes can be viewed by anyone using a smartphone and with the help of augmented reality app, such as Artivive.

AbstractThe very large development of home and domestic electronic appliances as well as portable device has led the microelectronics industry to evolve in two complimentary directions : “More Moore” with the continuous race towards extremely small dimensions hence the development of SoCs (System on Chip) and more recently a new direction that we could name “More than Moore” with the integration of devices that were laying outside the chips and here the creation of SiPs (System in Package).These two approaches are not in competition one with the other: the paper will show some examples of integrated nano systems that use several SoCs.The technology we have developed is called Silicon Based System in Package. The first products using this technology are now in volume production and used mainly in the field of wireless communications.This new technology relies on four pillars. Passive integration is the first. Very efficient and high quality factor capacitors and inductors have been integrated, allowing the creation of complete modules including active devices, filters and decoupling capacitors. High-density MOS capacitors with 1-1000 nF capacitance, and as high values as 25-250+ nF/mm2 specific capacitance have been fabricated in macroporous Si-wafers, containing over 1 billion macropores. Typically an ESR less than 100 mÙ and an ESL less than 25 pH were found for capacitors over 10 nF. This novel concept is an important step forward in improving the stability of power-amplifier modules by replacing conventional SMD technology.Whereas generations with capacitors density of up to 100 nF/mm2 will be using “conventional” materials and structures, the next steps in the roadmap will call for new 3D structures and materials such as high-k dielectrics.The second element is advanced packaging. New technologies, such as the assembly of Silicon chips onto other Silicon chips, also named “double flip chip” have been developed. This has been made possible thanks to the combination of the most advanced microbumping and die placement techniques. In addition to a tremendous reduction of size (up to a factor of 10 to 20) these techniques have also brought a better repeatability of system performance.The third element has been the development of design tools that allow a seamless system design for engineers used to IC design tools and flows. Our Design Environment allows co design of multiple technologies chips and their integration in a single system. This IC-like Design Environment has contributed a lot to the adoption of the technology.Testing is the fourth element and is one of the economical enablers of the technology. The key words are: “known good die”, RF test, system test? Some innovative RF probing and full on wafer subsystem test will be shown. Even though efficient test is not vital for the technical feasibility of this system integration, it becomes very quickly one of the most important enablers, especially when we deal with very high volumes of production. The conclusion of the paper will be an open door to the future. Some innovations like the integration of light or even energy storage inside our SiPs will be presented.

In this paper the authors discuss what a disaster plan entails and the steps that need to be taken for an institution to create such a plan, including taking advantage of all the new opportunities to provide a more comprehensive disaster plan through new technologies such as mobile applications, cloud storage and online reference tools. A disaster is a sudden change of situation, because of this, the planning for such an event needs to be done well ahead of time so that adequate training can be implemented and the response to the disaster can be quick and effective. As much as apathy, avoidance and lack of resources can be excuses as to why we have not created an institutional disaster plan, being prepared and trained to handle the different types of emergency disasters that can befall a library or archive is the best way to ensure that the materials will remain protected and the damage done to them in the case of an actual disaster is minimized. The steps outlined in this chapter will help any library or archive in the creation of a successful disaster plan and help them understand why some disaster plans fail.

This case study focuses on a civil society organization called Radio Viva in Asunción, Paraguay. It was found that the interactive use of ‘traditional’ and ‘new’ technologies in locally innovative ways was able to meet community needs through the creation of two local products. Specifically, when radio and telephony were integrated with telecentre services (including internet access), new physical and virtual communication spaces were opened up for civic participation. Second, ICT interactivity was found to lead to the creation of locally relevant content production, helping Paraguayan communities to gain access to useful and contextualized information while also turning local ‘information recipients’ into ‘knowledge users’.

This chapter examines digitalization as a set of new normative ideals for managing and organizing businesses, enabled by new technologies. The data imperative consists of two mutually reinforcing goals: the pursuit of omniscience—the aspiration of management to capture the world relevant to the company through digital data; and the pursuit of omnipotence—an aspiration of managers to control and optimize activities in real-time and around the world through software. The data imperative model captures a self-reinforcing cycle of four sequential steps: (1) the creation and capture of data, (2) the combination and analysis of data, (3) the redesign of business processes around smart algorithms, and (4) the ability to control the world through digital information flows. The logical end-point of the data imperative is a ‘programmable world’, a conception of society saturated with Internet-connected hardware that is able to capture processes in real time and control them in order to optimize desired outcomes.
