One of the dominant trends in Korea's IT industry of late is digital convergence. Of all forms of digital convergence, the one between telecommunications and broadcasting in the form of satellite DMB (Digital Media Broadcasting) service is regarded as the most innovative, and it is eliciting interest from a technological and regulatory viewpoint, as well as from a business model perspective. In this paper, as an exemplary case study, we describe the distinctive characteristics of satellite DMB service, forecast market acceptance for satellite DMB service and provide quantified estimation results. The focus of the study is on gauging how successful is the market debut for this leading convergence service. The paper also examines other services of similar type, subject to the same regulations, for comparative purposes, and the estimation of the market acceptance for satellite DMB service which draws on theories of innovation diffusion. Satellite DMB service, being one of the culminations of the telecom-broadcasting convergence initiatives of recent times (the findings of this study, as has been confirmed by recent Korean experiences) can be useful for further research on similar digital convergence service products.

Based on a case study on pupils at a Danish upper secondary school this paper reveals that the pupils’ media experiences in school are dominated by frustrations and feelings of ambiguity. Two pupil groups with different attitudes towards digital media were identified: one ‘IT positive’ group that call for more activating uses of digital media, and an ‘IT skeptic’ group that call for less experimentation and a return to traditional teaching methods and paper books. The case study reflects several ways in which new technologies challenges our educational system. This results in schools today generally being caught between practices of the literate, book-based environment, on the one hand, and the interactive, networked digital environment, on the other. The paper uses the concept of affordances to demonstrate how different media environments shape learning possibilities differently, and that any technology elicits desirable learning outcomes as well as undesirable learning outcomes — or challenges. Essentially, the educational system faces a fundamental challenge of balancing logics and principles of digital learning with traditional, paper-based learning. On this basis, a theoretical framework is developed that sets up didactical principles — distinguishing between affordances at individual, social and societal levels — for applying digital technologies in learning contexts. The paper concludes by demonstrating the principles through a learning design case concerning the climate debate.

The article deals with the notion of a business model of digital media explored by the scholars. The objective of the study is to explore the concept of a business model of digital media in scientific understanding. The main tasks of the study proceed from its objective and topic which are the following: 1) to analyze the approaches to definition and content of the concept of a business model; 2) to outline the scholar ideas and views on existence and essence of media business models; 3) to highlight the possible types of business models of digital media that have proven themselves in practice and are characterized in authoritative scientific research; 4) to investigate implementation of certain business models in the concrete cases of foreign and Ukrainian media. To achieve the aforementioned tasks of the article, the certain methodologies are used. It is the general methods of analysis and synthesis for holistic understanding and evaluation of facts, a bibliographic method for investigation of all available relevant works by reputable scholars who were involved with the issues close to the topic of the article. We use both diachronic and synchronous methods for simultaneous analysis of business models of digital media in chronological and modern (actual) dimensions. Exploring the notion of a business model, the elements of a system method for getting the systematic results and capturing the whole set of connections of the object with other phenomena is used. On the stage of analysis of an existing media business model, the case study and the elements of a content analysis are used. As a result of the research it is proved that there are numerous types of business media, which are broadly used in the whole world. Despite many Ukrainian media are still using a traditional business model or are still owned by oligarchs, many digital media use actively the new perspective models. It is most often different versions of the paywall model (Krytyka), crowd funding (Hromdaske TV), a model of public television (UBC:UA), sale of joint products (it is most often collectibles) etc. To summarize the foregoing all media that care about their image, development and profitability, seek for themselves for a right business model and change it if necessary.

This article aims to present a debate over the increasingly complex and widespread use of measurement indicators and performance of digital content in the journalistic industry, considering the case study of La Nación, one of the leading news institutions in Argentina. The paper reconstructs the introduction and architecture of metrics measurement in the newsroom of La Nación, and the journalists’ perceptions and experiences regarding these organizational changes. The focus will be on the adoption of the Score, an algorithmic metric developed in-house at La Nación, designed with journalistic input and eventually modified to include economic factors. The findings confirming the tensions between professional and commercial logics produced by adopting digital metrics in the newsroom; and suggesting that journalists experiences metrics as strong disciplining influence. All this is involved in an uncertain context implicating the financing of Argentinean digital media along with the decline in the traditional journalistic business model.

L1 Acquisition

Regardless to the facts that English is being taught to Indonesian students starting from early age, many Indonesian thrive in learning English. They find it quite troublesome for some to acquire the language especially to the level of communicative competence. Although Krashen (1982:10) states that “language acquirers are not usually aware of the fact that they are acquiring language, but are only aware of the fact that they are using the language for communication”, second language acquisition has several obstacles for learners to face and yet the successfulness of mastering the language never surmounts to the one of the native speakers. Learners have never been able to acquire the language as any native speakers do. Mistakes are made and inter-language is unavoidable. McNeili in Ellis (1985, p. 44) mentions that “the mentalist views of L1 acquisition hypothesizes the process of acquisition consists of hypothesis-testing, by which means the grammar of the learner’s mother tongue is related to the principles of the ‘universal grammar’.” Thus this study intends to find out whether the students go through the phase of interlanguage in their attempt to acquire second language and whether their interlanguage forms similar system as postulated by linguists (Krashen).

Abstract The present paper focuses on spatial management regulations in order to carry out investment in the field of airport facilities. The construction, upgrades, and maintenance of airports falls within the area of responsibility of local authorities. This task poses a great challenge in terms of organisation and finances. On the one hand, an active airport is a municipal landmark and drives local economic, social and cultural development, and on the other, the scale of investment often exceeds the capabilities of local authorities. The immediate environment of the airport determines its final use and prosperity. The objective of the paper is to review legislation that affects airports and the surrounding communities. The process of urban planning in Lodz and surrounding areas will be presented as a background to the problem of land use management in the vicinity of the airport. This paper seeks to address the following questions: if and how airports have affected urban planning in Lodz, does the land use around the airport prevent the development of Lodz Airport, and how has the situation changed over the time? It can be assumed that as a result of lack of experience, land resources and size of investments on one hand and legislative dissonance and peculiar practices on the other, aviation infrastructure in Lodz is designed to meet temporary needs and is characterised by achieving short-term goals. Cyclical problems are solved in an intermittent manner and involve all the municipal resources, so there’s little left to secure long-term investments.

Death Of The Author

Digital media transform social options of access with regard to producers, recipients, and literary works of art themselves. New labels for new roles such as »prosumers « and »wreaders« attest to this. The »blogger« provides another interesting new social figure of literary authorship. Here, some old desiderata of Dadaism appear to find a belated realization. On the one hand, many web 2.0 formats of authorship amplify and widen the freedom of literary productivity while at the same time subjecting such production to a periodic schedule. In comparison to the received practices of authors and recipients many digital-cultural forms of narrating engender innovative metalepses (and also their sublation). Writing in the net for internet-publics enables the deliberate dissolution of the received autobiographical pact with the reader according to which the author’s genuine name authenticates the author’s writing. On the other hand, the digital-cultural potential of dissolving the autobiographical pact stimulates scandals of debunking and unmasking and makes questions of author-identity an issue of permanent contestation. Digital-cultural conditions of communication amplify both: the hideand- seek of authorship as well as the thwarting of this game by recipients who delight in playing detective. In effect, pace Foucault’s and Barthes’ postulates of the death of the author, the personality and biography of the author once again tend to become objects of high intrinsic value

The provision of water services has traditionally been considered a responsibility of the state. During the late 1980s, the private sector emerged as a key actor in the provision of public services. Mexico City was no exception to this trend and public authorities awarded service contracts to four private consortia in 1993. Through consideration of this case study, two main questions arise: First, why do public authorities establish partnerships with the private sector? Second, what are the implications of these partnerships for water governance? This article focuses, on the one hand, on the conceptual debate of water as a public and/or private good, while identifying new trends and strategies carried out by private operators. On the other hand, it analyzes the role of the state and its relationships with other actors through a governance model characterized by partnerships and multilevel networks.Spanish La provisión del servicio del agua ha sido tradicionalmente considerada como una responsabilidad del Estado. A finales de la década de 1980, el sector privado emerge como un actor clave en el suministro de servicios públicos. La ciudad de México no escapa a esta tendencia y en 1993 las autoridades públicas firman contratos de servicios con cuatro consorcios privados. A través de este estudio de caso, dos preguntas son planteadas: ¿Por qué las autoridades públicas establecen partenariados con el sector privado? ¿Cuáles son las implicaciones de dichos partenariados en la gobernanza del agua? Este artículo aborda por una parte, el debate conceptual del agua como bien público y/o privado, identificando nuevas tendencias y estrategias de los operadores privados. Por otra parte, se analizan el rol y las relaciones del Estado con otros actores a través de un modelo de gobernanza, definido en términos de partenariados y redes multi-niveles.French Les services de l'eau ont été traditionnellement considérés comme une responsabilité de l'État.

La ville de Mexico n'a pas échappé à cette tendance et en 1993, les autorités publiques ont signé des contrats de services avec quatre consortiums privés. À travers cette étude de cas, nous nous interrogerons sur deux aspects : pourquoi les autorités publiques établissentelles des partenariats avec le secteur privé ? Quelles sont les implications de ces partenariats sur la gouvernance de l'eau ? Cet article s'intéresse, d'une part, au débat conceptuel sur l'eau en tant que bien public et/ou privé, en identifiant les tendances nouvelles et les stratégies menées par les opérateurs privés. D'autre part y sont analysés le rôle de l'État et ses relations avec d'autres acteurs à travers un modèle de gouvernance, défini en termes de partenariats, et des réseaux multi-niveaux.
