Abstract This paper describes the extraordinary tool available for the French, in the field of the preservation and provision of audiovisual archives (news, television, radio and Internet). Created in 1974, the National Audiovisual Institute (INA), a public service, was commissioned to collect from radio and television stations archives and programs broadcast by state radio and television for professionals. In a second phase, INA opened its collections to researchers and academics, and more recently, to the general public. INA has also built documentary and research tools. Therefore it can be said that the availability of this audiovisual heritage not only promotes the quality of research on the content of radio and television, but also that the possibility for citizens to consult – through the Internet – a part of these archives might modify the memorial heritage of our contemporaries.

Set Up

There is an increasing demand for what we can call pop-science that is pertinent scientific information dedicated to the non-specialists. This demand comes both from professional categories and the general public. Simultaneously in the scientific community there is an increasing consciousness that diffusion of the scientific information is an asset the scientific community cannot afford to overlook. The Internet is a perfect tool to meet this demand. It reaches a large and ever-increasing number of people and permits an interactive and detailed exchange of information. As an experiment of how to combine high quality services and the information technology, we have set up Ulisse - In the net of science (http://ulisse.sissa.it), an innovative Italian project for the popularisation of science via the Internet. Its main purpose is to establish a connection between scientists and the general public. Ulisse is based on three major characteristics: a) high technology to create an efficient and friendly system, b) customisation of the services, c) a network of scientists, which guaranteed the quality of the materials.

Difficulties that women face in the media professions and discrimination against women's access to decision-making posts within the media is a problem that transcends national borders. Becoming a greater part of this particular workforce would help to expand both the amount and quality of visibility for women – in news, television, and public sphere in general. Public service media (PSM), as broadcasting, made, financed, and controlled by the public and for the public, with the output designed to reach everyone and reflect all voices, should treat gender equality with the utmost importance. The existing data indicate however that, although some progress have been made, there is a lot to be done: while women among European PSMs represent 44% of the workforce, the number falls to less than 25% at the higher and executive positions. This chapter analyses the efforts made by the European Broadcasting Union's members and the measures they recommend.

Chinese immigrants may dismiss pathological decline of dementia as part of normal aging (Woo and Mehta, 2017). While the internet may be a source of health information for Chinese immigrants, the quality of online dementia information was lower in Chinese than in English (Tsiang and Woo, 2017). Recent studies have demonstrated feasibility of YouTube videos in disseminating health information to the Chinese-speaking general public (Lam et al., 2017; Zheng and Woo, 2017). Therefore, we evaluated the performance of YouTube in targeting Chinese-speaking individuals in Britain who are in the high risk age group (e.g. aged 55 years and above) of developing dementia.

Complaints communities in the developing countries, especially Indonesia to the public service are still extremely high.  Perceived imbalances such as in: obscurity of time, cost and method of service; discrimination in services based on the relationships of friends, family, political affiliation, ethnic and even religious;  chain length the more entrenched bureaucracy and bribery and extortion.  This condition is a signaled for the government to seek strategic solutions to improve public services. This study aims to discover the design of public service operations in accordance with the expectations of society by measuring the performance of the public service.  Recommended design is a design that lead to e-Government and reinventing goverment to give birth standard operating procedures (SOP) and minimum service standards (SPM) for public services in Indonesia, especially in the public service that is closest to the village community  with Quality function deployment (QFD) in house of quality (HOQ) method. In the first phase of the study mapped 36 public expectations of public services, which are shown in this analysis that the public is not getting an appropriate and satisfying service, although does not show the high gap. On the other hand mapping the public response to the internet-based administration showed the unpreparedness of the people against the internet-based public services. The majority of respondents claimed to feel more comfortable and definitely served in the village office immediately met with the officers.  Queue and the possibility of intervention or extortion is not a problem for society.  In the second phase of this study will examine the true public service bureaucracy and the possibility of cutting the bureaucratic process that is more streamlined, clear, fast, and facilitate community. Last step is to benchmark the Chinese State as densely populated countries such as Indonesia, to make strategic steps and implementable in problem solving public dissatisfaction with public services and the number of maladministration.

Open science initiatives have great potential to improve the quality of research and make access to it more democratic. Many of the features related to open science are, however, dependent upon unfettered access to the internet. We should be aware that the voices of many people are excluded because they do not have this unrestricted access. Vigilance is also required to ensure that access remains free where it is currently.

Citizens' concern about the quality of their drinking water stems especially from poor or wrong information. A tool allowing consumers to consult the Internet for the “label characteristics” of the tap water they are drinking, and to look for general information on water for human consumption has been developed. The tool allows to carry out online queries contributing to optimising management and using the water resource. Thanks to the implementation of an experimental protocol in secondary schools in Sardinia (Italy), it has been possible to test the efficacy of the tool by adapting its content to a large scale of users and to carry out a didactic-educational drill on the theme of water resources. To assess the weight of the aesthetics (taste, colour, and odour) in determining the degree of acceptability of the water, two tests were carried on both resident and non-resident assessors. This study allowed to survey the perception of the general public and the concerns arising from them.

OBJECTIVE: Investigate the quality of data available on the internet with respect to pain after orthognathic surgery.METHODS: A careful search was conducted on the Internet in December, 2012. The most accessed websites browsers were employed for research using the terms: "pain" and "orthognathic surgery" together. The first 30 results of each portal were examined, and after applying the exclusion criteria, 29 sites remained. All remaining websites went through an evaluation process with online tools that investigated the quality, level of reading, accessibility, usability and reliability.RESULTS: Assessment criteria outcomes were considered unfavorable. Texts were considered difficult to read with inappropriate language for the general public. The mean global validation for the 29 websites of the LIDA instrument was 65.10, thereby indicating a structure of medium quality.CONCLUSION: Information about post-orthognathic surgery pain available on the internet is poorly written and unreliable. Therefore, candidates for orthognathic surgery must seek information from specialists who, in turn, should indicate reliable sources.

Quality Of Research

Research is often fueled by researchers’ scientific, but also their personal interests: Sometimes, researchers decide to pursue a specific research question because the answer to that question is idiosyncratically relevant for themselves: Such “me-search” may not only affect the quality of research, but also how it is perceived by the general public. In two studies (N = 621), we investigate the circumstances under which learning about a researcher’s “me-search” increases or decreases laypeople’s ascriptions of trustworthiness and credibility to the respective researcher. Results suggest that participants’ own preexisting attitudes towards the research topic moderate the effects of “me-search” substantially: When participants hold favorable attitudes towards the research topic (i.e., LGBTQ or veganism), “me-searchers” were perceived as more trustworthy and their research was perceived as more credible. This pattern was reversed when participants held unfavorable attitudes towards the research topic. Study 2 furthermore shows that trustworthiness and credibility perceptions generalize to evaluations of the entire field of research. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
