Attention to women’s low participation in information technology is framed in Canada and elsewhere in terms of concern over availability of well-qualified human resources (ITAC & IDC, 2002) as well as equity issues (Applewhite, 2002; Ramsey & McCorduck, 2005). In most of these discussions, IT Professional is equated with Computer Scientist or Engineer in spite of the evidence that the profession is more diverse. This article suggests that while those directions are worthwhile, the very definition of “information technology professional” framed in the discourse may have unintended consequences which tend to exclude women. Framed by the literatures on gender and institutionalization of professions, this article applies critical discourse analysis to a variety of “texts” concerning the IT profession in Canada as well as available empirical data. Critical discourse analysis focuses on surfacing the political structures which underlie taken for granted assumptions (Fairclough, 1995). We maintain that while it is critically important to continue to attract females to study computer science and engineering, it is equally important to ensure that multiple paths are available and respected and that narrow definitions are not systemic barriers to the participation of women in the IT profession. In addition, more inclusive definitions which broaden the perspective on information technology (and match the reality of the industry) will promote good technology practices.

Information technology and the information technology workforce are essential to Internet innovation, infrastructure, development, and maintenance. A comprehensive and dynamic definition of information technology will help develop and coordinate interventions to ensure that a viable, diverse, and talented workforce is available to support information technology innovation, development, implementation, maintenance and application. A viable, diverse, and talented workforce is essential if the United States is to remain competitive in the economy. It is therefore necessary to establish consensus among information technology stakeholders on a definition of information technology prior to proceeding with classification of the workforce and development of educational programs. Wiki and ontology (Topic Maps) are two recent information technology innovations that provide the technological infrastructure necessary to achieve these goals.

AbstractAt the heart of the dispute onEC–IT Products1is the definition of information-technology (IT) products and the question of how to treat increasingly multifunctional high-tech goods. The dispute was triggered by various measures introduced by the European Union, resulting in the imposition of duties of up to 14% pertaining to the tariff treatment of certain multifunctional IT products. The complaining parties (the United States, along with Japan and Taiwan) argued that, by introducing these duties, the EU had violated the 1996 Information Technology Agreement (ITA). The WTO Panel Report, circulated on 16 August 2010, ruled in favor of the complaining parties, and ordered the EU to repeal the measures leading to the dutiable treatment of the products at stake. We argue that the Panel's ruling enhances the credibility of trade-policy liberalization in the high-tech sector, fostering the development of new technologies.

Рассматривается вопрос применения информационно-технологической безопасности в процессе подготовки офицерских кадров для нужд Федеральной службы войск национальной гвардии Российской Федерации. Акцентируется внимание на том, что образовательная сфера претерпевает существенные изменения, что в свою очередь вносит огромное корректирующее значение в процесс обучения будущих офицерских кадров Росгвардии. Описывается, что военная наука существенно отличается от традиционной системы образования в гражданских образовательных учреждениях и развитие военного образования осуществляется как самостоятельная отрасль специального образования. Приводится проблематика проводимых исследований по эффективности процесса обучения в военных образовательных организациях высшего образования Росгвардии, данные исследования набирают колоссальную популярность и значимость. Описаны основные значимые тенденции развития информационно-технологической безопасности как составной части информационной безопасности, дается понятийное определение информационно-технологической безопасности, что ставит обеспечение безопасности на одну из передовых позиций, реализующих определенные интересы государства и общества в информационном обмене. Рассматриваются существующие уровни информационно-технологической безопасности по критериям ее использования. Описывается информационная направленность в военном образовании, которая позволит достичь определенных образовательных целей в ходе подготовки будущих офицерских кадров для нужд Росгвардии. Делается акцент на то, что применение информационных технологий в процессе обучения не заменит полностью опыт профессорско-преподавательского состава по направлению соответствующей отрасли, а только облегчит понимание и усвоение курсантами учебного материала. В заключительной части делается обобщающий вывод о том, что информационно-технологическая безопасность выдвигает на первоочередную позицию проблематику, имеющуюся по вопросам обеспечения информационной безопасности в ходе подготовки будущих офицерских кадров Росгвардии. The article deals with the application of information technology security in the process of training officers for the needs of the Federal Service of the National Guard of the Russian Federation. Attention is focused on the fact that the educational sphere is undergoing significant changes, which in turn makes a huge corrective value in the process of training future officers of the Russian Guard. It is described that military science differs significantly from the traditional education system in civilian educational institutions and the development of military education is carried out as an independent branch of special education. The problems of ongoing research on the effectiveness of the learning process in military educational institutions of higher education of the Russian Guard are given, that these studies are gaining tremendous popularity and significance. The main significant trends in the development of information technology security, as an integral part of information security, are described, a conceptual definition of information technology security is given, which puts security in one of the leading positions that implement certain interests of the state and society in information exchange. The main significant trends in the development of information technology security as an integral part of information security are described, a conceptual definition of information technology security is given, which puts security in one of the leading positions that implement certain interests of the state and society in information exchange. The existing levels of information technology security are considered according to the criteria for its use. The informational orientation in military education is described, which will allow achieving certain educational goals in the course of training future officers for the needs of the Russian Guard. An aspect is made that the use of information technologies in the learning process will not completely replace the experience of the teaching staff in the direction of the relevant industry, but will only facilitate the understanding and assimilation of the educational material by the cadets. In the final part, a generalizing conclusion is given to the fact that information technology security brings to the fore the issues available on the issues of providing information.
