Collectively, the chapters of this book demonstrate that despite gaming’s perceived diversification, many barriers to true equality between different types of gamers persist. Therefore, the conclusion of this book invites readers to consider what is lost when sexism and misogyny are allowed to persist within a significant subsection of popular culture, demonstrating how inequality in this area can affect broader power structures as well. However, the conclusion also affirms women’s continuing efforts to achieve equality and calls for greater support as they continue to navigate gender and gamer identities on their own terms. The conclusion wraps up, discussing the book’s limitations, calling for future work, and assessing the potential outcomes of a crisis of authority.

New time challenges cause new contradictions that are peculiar for educational environment in Russia and they require instant solutions. We have identified the contradictions which defined our target to determine the techniques and methods of distance education for students of pedagogical specializations based on practice-oriented approach, implementation of media educational technologies into the preparation of university students aimed at the development of knowledge, competencies and skills in distance learning in different types of educational institutions. Media educational technologies are conditioned by general pedagogical and didactic principles and the choice of pedagogical methods directly depends on the content of educational discipline, conditions of its implementation and other factors. Media educational technologies used for the completion of social-pedagogical disciplines for university students consist of creative and game tasks. Using them it is essential to consider special features of various media and the target of the lesson. Practice is another relevant purpose in the process of distance learning. We believe that this problem will be dominating in the nearest future as practice in distance learning is focused on by higher education institutions. In this article some techniques and types of this practical training are presented being shaped by the format of distance learning. During various practices the students of pedagogical specializations will be able not only to prepare for their future work but also to assist subject teachers, social pedagogues in schools and to make considerable contributions in this work.

The Cyber-Racism and Community Resilience (CRaCR) project included an examination into features of online communities of resistance and solidarity. This work formed a key part of the project’s focus on resilience and produced a deeper understanding of a range of types of actors working in this space and how they might individually contribute effectively to creating resilience. The need for new synergies between different types of stakeholders and approaches was highlighted as an area of future work. This paper explores a design for that future work that builds and supports online communities of resistance and solidarity by drawing on the lessons from the earlier research and extending them. This new work both presents a model for cooperation and explains how different stakeholders can positively engage under the model in a smarter way. That is, through a system which facilitates Solidarity in Moving Against Racism Together while Enabling Resilience. This new approach draws on the strengths of individuals actors, but also seeks to turn points of weakness for one actor into opportunities for cooperation that strengthen the system as a whole.

This study explored the importance of social media as a communication channel, and the reasons that lead governments to adopt such channel in their communication. Twelve Arab governments out of all twenty-two Arab countries adopted such strategy and were included in the authors' sample. Governments who adopted such a channel successfully communicated with citizens utilizing commonly used post properties (i.e. Likes, Comments and Shares). This study found that Arab governments posted news and information on Facebook with an average of 102.58 posts per year, which indicates that posting over Facebook is very poor. Also, it is found that using multimedia with different types lead to more communication from the stakeholders compared with posts that didn't use it. Such richness in media improved the communication intensity and lead to communication success. The second major contribution of this study is to build the TPCC index for measuring communication success. Such composite index is an integrated measure from four major indices; transparency, participation, collaboration, and comfort. Detailed results, conclusions, limitations, and future work are explained further.

Overall Effectiveness

Machine faults and breakdowns are a concern for the manufacturing industry. Automated assembly machines typically employ many different types of sensors to monitor machine health and feedback faults to a central controller for review by a technician or engineer. This paper describes progress with a project whose goal is to examine the effectiveness of using machine vision to detect ‘visually cued’ faults in automated assembly equipment. Tests were conducted on a laboratory scale conveyor apparatus that assembles a simple 3-part component. The machine vision system consisted of several conventional webcams and image processing in LabVIEW. Preliminary results demonstrated that the machine vision system could identify faults such as part jams and feeder jams; however the overall effectiveness was limited as this technique can only detect faults known prior to creating the vision system. Future work to create a more robust system is currently underway.
