Lack Of Knowledge

Stereotypical perceptions of Roma people as those who like to walk along forest paths to camps, or stories about Gypsy fairies with crystal balls have nothing in common with such trendy and contemporary terms as new technologies. How can one imagine a stereotypical Roma who loves horses and campfires surfing the Internet? How do we discuss changes in men-women relations in the context of a patriarchal community in which women have no right to express their opinions and are literally captive? Undoubtedly, a lack of knowledge about Roma people, and with often the only alternative in the form of stereotypical information excludes them from the discussion on cultural changes related to technological development. At the same time media, including the Internet, are important not only in the context of activism of Roma leaders and organizations, but also with reference to people who want to fight against the negative image of Roma people in public space, regardless of membership or lack of membership in Roma organizations.

The Relationship

Some researchers have warned that advances in artificial intelligence will increasingly allow employers to substitute human workers with software and robotic systems, heralding an impending wave of technological unemployment. By attending to the particular contexts in which new technologies are developed and implemented, others have revealed that there is nothing inevitable about the future of work, and that there is instead the potential for a diversity of models for organizing the relationship between work and artificial intelligence. Although these social constructivist approaches allow researchers to identify sources of contingency in technological outcomes, they are less useful in explaining how aims and outcomes can converge across diverse settings. In this essay, I make the case that researchers of work and technology should endeavor to link the outcomes of artificial intelligence systems not only to their immediate environments but also to less visible—but nevertheless deeply influential—structural features of societies. I demonstrate the utility of this approach by elaborating on how finance capital structures technology choices in the workplace. I argue that investigating how the structure of ownership influences a firm’s technology choices can open our eyes to alternative models and politics of technological development, improving our understanding of how to make innovation work for everyone instead of allowing the benefits generated by technological change to be hoarded by a select few.

SUMMARY Platforms for pathogen discovery have improved since the days of Koch and Pasteur; nonetheless, the challenges of proving causation are at least as daunting as they were in the late 1800s. Although we will almost certainly continue to accumulate low-hanging fruit, where simple relationships will be found between the presence of a cultivatable agent and a disease, these successes will be increasingly infrequent. The future of the field rests instead in our ability to follow footprints of infectious agents that cannot be characterized using classical microbiological techniques and to develop the laboratory and computational infrastructure required to dissect complex host-microbe interactions. I have tried to refine the criteria used by Koch and successors to prove linkage to disease. These refinements are working constructs that will continue to evolve in light of new technologies, new models, and new insights. What will endure is the excitement of the chase. Happy hunting!

In the late 1990s, some institutions started discussing the idea of comparing universities and educational institutions according to certain criteria. Since then, the rankings of universities have become widespread. With the rapid spread, extended and developed scientific progress and technological development every day as we have not seen before, and with the increasing spread of the Internet, these sites have become dependent on the Internet to obtain the data they rely on in the ranking of these universities. Because the ranking of universities, educational institutions, higher education institutions, colleges, and institutes is one of the main elements that have been used in the past two centuries, and because the ranking of universities has become one of the most important ways and means to measure the development or decline of universities, it was important to clarify the mechanisms of the ranking of universities in This period of the twenty-first century and the expected perception for tanking of university for the future period. The aim of this research paper is to present a study on the methods and methodologies that can be used to measure the ranking of universities, taking into account the technological development that has taken place over the past period and to determine what is the possibility of relying on the ranking in the future as a tool to measure the progress and development of universities and the possibility of relying on the Internet as a reliable means of ranking. Observations regarding the educational institutions' perception of ranking are also discussed.

U.S. higher education has arrived at the new millennium in an environment that might charitably be called "dynamic." A demographic incline is bringing a larger and more diverse student body to the doors of U.S. colleges and universities. New technologies are multiplying venues for education, but our institutions of higher learning are simultaneously facing enormous pressures from penurious legislatures, growing competition from for-profit universities, and regents and state boards of higher education flocking to the banner of greater accountability. In the midst of these challenges, James Axtell's The Pleasures of Academe and Annette Kolodny's Failing the Future offer compelling and ultimately competing visions of the state of U.S. higher education on the doorstep of the twenty-first century.

RESUMO: Este artigo propõe algumas reflexões sobre possíveis atravessamentos/impactos nos processos de subjetivação pela apropriação das tecnologias digitais no século XXI e de como seus usos e (supostos) excessos têm impactado nas constituições subjetivas diante de outras maneiras de o homem mostrar/olhar/sentir/ensinar, que se constituem nas relações estabelecidas na sociedade atual. Sob uma perspectiva histórico-cultural, discute-se sobre as apropriações das tecnologias digitais e as constituições das subjetividades (individuais e num contexto social mais amplo), tendo como pano de fundo as ilustrações do quadrinista brasileiro Andre Dahmer. Essas ilustrações foram escolhidas por fazerem parte da obra do autor que, através das redes sociais, divulga um trabalho que nos provoca e nos convida a pensar sobre como nos relacionamos e, consequentemente, (nos) mostramos, (nos) olhamos, sentimos, ensinamos e aprendemos em subjetividades que são atravessadas, constituídas e reconstituídas pelas apropriações das tecnologias no cenário contemporâneo.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: novas tecnologias; tecnologias digitais; subjetividades; apropriações. ABSTRACT:This paper proposes some reflections about possible crossings/impacts on subjective processes from the appropriation of digital technologies in the twenty-first century and how their uses and (alleged) excesses have impacted on the subjective constitutions facing other ways humans can show/look/feel/teach, that constitutes the established relationships in the network society. From a historical and cultural perspective, we discuss about the appropriation of digital technologies and the constitutions of subjectivity (individual and in a wider social context), with the backdrop of the illustrations of the Brazilian cartoonist Andre Dahmer, who, through social networks, discloses his work, which provokes and invites us to think about how we relate and therefore, we show and look at ourselves, feel, teach and learn in new subjective configurations with are crossed, constituted and reconstituted by the appropriation of technologies in the contemporary scene.KEYWORDS: new technologies; digital technologies; subjectivities; appropriantions.

The study and evaluation of established and evolving views of scholars regarding the future of criminology, expressed in articles as well as books, requires their generalization and makes it possible to formulate certain conclusions. Speculations regarding the future of criminology are primarily connected with the future crime trends and the projected reaction of the society and the theories of crime to their changes. Is the following theoretically and logically sound chain going to be perspective: technological development and rapid technological progress - use of new technologies by criminals - structural changes in crime - systemic changes in the law enforcement structures that meet the new criminal threats? Rapid technological progress, worsening social and economic inequality gave rise to futurological criminological research. Modern theory of criminology has many areas of urgent importance. They include the following issues debated in the academic circles: first, the effective methodological basis for such research, second, the possible ways of improving crime prevention theory that is dependent on the social processes and third, how and in what direction will criminology evolve in connection with the social trends and if it will be able to «incorporate» and take into account future, intensively and actively predicted trends of global social development, while gaining the status of the science of the future. Global criminology, fundamental criminology, digital criminology - what is the attitude of scholars to these theoretical constructs in todays academic discussions? Do speculations on the future of criminology have and prospects? Viewing science today as one of the forces that can help overcome the global civilization crisis has encouraged criminologists to discuss a wider consistent approach to future criminology as a source of ensuring criminological safety of the future society. The authors discuss the necessity and appropriateness of returning, in criminology as well as science in general, to the holistic worldview at the level of scientific knowledge. Criminology should develop by sprouting new branches supported by technological progress. A special part should be played by the criminology of hi tech that converges the knowledge of natural sciences.

The Creation

Network society and the new forms of engagementThe popularization of the Internet in the 1990s marked the beginning of socio-cultural changes that have led to the creation of the network society. Networking has covered many spheres – social, cultural, political and economic. Along with social changes, new problems and risks associated with new technologies have emerged. It provoked the beginning of networked social movements, which regained technological tools in a subversive way, using an insect-type of attack, based on the structure of the swarm. One form of such an attack are subversive hacktivist actions, which have a deep performative character. Perhaps it is because of this extraordinary performative potential that the network, along with the new ways of communication, have become a source of tools, both in the artistic and social field. Społeczeństwo sieci a nowe formy zaangażowaniaSpopularyzowanie w latach 90. ubiegłego wieku internetu zapoczątkowało przemiany społeczno-kulturowe, które doprowadziły do powstania społeczeństwa sieciowego. Usieciowienie objęło wiele sfer – społeczną, kulturową, polityczną i ekonomiczną. Wraz ze zmianami społecznymi pojawiły się nieznane dotąd problemy i zagrożenia związane z nowymi technologiami. Spowodowało to powstanie usieciowionych ruchów społecznych, które w subwersywny sposób zaczęły odzyskiwać narzędzia technologiczne, posługując się insektalnym rodzajem ataku, opartym o strukturę roju. Jedną z form takiego ataku są subwersywne działania hacktywistyczne, o głęboko performatywnym charakterze. Być może właśnie z powodu niezwykłego potencjału performatywnego sieć, wraz z nowymi sposobami komunikacji, stała się źródłem pozyskiwania narzędzi zarówno na polu artystycznym, jak i społecznym.

The article is a review of the book by J. Urry Kak vyglyadit budushchee? [What is the Future?] (Trans. by A. Matvienko; ed. by S. Shchukina. Moscow: Delo; 2018. 320 pp.] which describes multiple discourses of the social future and methods for its research. Its author, the co-director of the Lancaster’s Institute for Social Futures, believes that futurologists focus on new technologies but the key element of crucial innovations is social phenomena. The book presents the following main aspects of the contemporary research of the future: the social future is multiple, and its various images are supported by different actors and compete; all stakeholders should take part in discussions of the future - states, markets, civil society institutions, individuals; as a rule, three methods are used to study the future - individualistic, structural and based on the theory of complex systems; the future needs not to be planned but rather coordinated. The book proves the necessity to study the future to correct the present by creating and transforming social norms, practices and value orientations.
