Concept Of Information

In the article, the author analyzes information interventions as threats to the cybernetic security of Ukraine. The relevance of this study is due to the fact that large number of socially dangerous acts aimed at harming state interests can now be used both in the information space and in purely cyberspace. Since such actions are performed using computer systems and performed in cyberspace, we propose to define this type of intervention as “cybernetic intervention”, describing it as a separate group of socially dangerous acts aimed at damaging the information infrastructure of States, vital areas of society's existence. The main aim of this study is to analyze information intervention as a threat to cyber security of Ukraine. The interpretation of terms that make up the conceptual and categorical apparatus of the subject of research is carried out. A narrow definition of the concept of “information intervention” is proposed as the violent intervention of one or more subjects of information relations in the activities of another or others, and a broad definition – a certain set of aggressive actions that are aimed at influencing public opinion and decision-making within one or another country and achieving clearly defined results.

The “father of the Bill of Rights,” James Madison, described the unqualified words protecting freedoms of speech and press as embodying a broad definition rather than a narrow definition of those liberties. Upon offering those provisions, he said that “freedom of the press and rights of conscience . . . are unguarded in the British constitution,” including the common law, and that “every government should be disarmed of powers which trench upon those particular rights.” In Madison’s draft and in the final First Amendment, each clause was worded to modify or to reject the English common law on point in order to provide for far greater protection of individual liberties; no clause was worded with the restrictions that the common law imposed. Was Madison right? Are freedoms of press and speech in the First Amendment broad or narrow protections?

Definition Of

In recent years, the idea that constitutional modes of government are exclusive to states has become the subject both of sustained challenge and of strong defence. This is due to the development at new regional and global sites of decision-making capacities of a scale and intensity often associated with the demand for constitutional governance at state level, to the supply at these same new sites of certain regulatory institutions and practices of a type capable of being viewed as meeting the demand for constitutional governance, as well as to a growing debate over whether and in what ways these developments in decision-making capacity and regulatory control should be coded and can be constructively engaged with in explicitly constitutional terms. The aim of the article is threefold. It asks why taking the idea and associated ethos and methods of constitutionalism ‘beyond the state’ might be viewed as a significant and controversial innovation, and so in need of explanation and justification – a question that requires us to engage with the definition of constitutionalism and with the contestation surrounding that definition. Secondly, taking account of the various arguments that lie behind these definitional concerns, it attempts to develop a scheme for understanding certain key features of constitutionalism and of its post-state development that is able to command broad agreement. Thirdly, and joining the concerns of the first two sections, it seeks to identify the key current tensions – or antinomies – surrounding the growth of post-state constitutionalism with a view to indicating what is at stake in the future career of that concept.

The article is devoted to the coverage of scientific approaches and normative-legal definition of the content of the concepts of information support and cybersecurity of the patrol police. The shortcomings of the definition of the terminological apparatus in the field of information support and cybersecurity of the National Police in general and the patrol police in particular were revealed. The concept of cybersecurity of patrol police as a state of protection of official interests of patrol police in cyberspace, which is achieved by complying with legal, organizational, technical requirements for the use of information resources, networks, software, media, photo and video in the work of patrol police for effective information support for the functioning of the patrol police, timely detection, prevention and neutralization of real and potential cyber threats. Information support of the patrol police is defined as a continuous process of creation, use, research, storage, protection, transmission, processing, destruction of information of a certain type, quality, volume, structure, form, provided by a set of normative-legal, organizational-administrative, scientific and technical measures. using information systems, tools, networks, resources and technologies used in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, aimed at meeting the information needs and realization of the information interests of the patrol police. In order to accelerate the process of information and technical improvement of the patrol police and increase the risks of negative impact on the functioning of its information support system, it is proposed to develop a concept of information support of the patrol police, which will contain appropriate definitions and include a separate section on cyber security Among the organizational measures to increase the level of cybersecurity of the patrol police, it is proposed to strengthen cooperation with cyberpolice, develop appropriate guidelines, introduce training on legal support and effective use of databases, information systems, networks, software, video and photography in patrol police.

Sustainability is a topic that has gained importance in several fields of knowledge, including the public, private and society spheres, based on the discussions that involve the definition of several public policies. Sustainability Indicators (SI) are metrics that seek to measure the level of sustainability and compile information for better decision-making concerning policies, programs, projects and actions related to sustainability. Demonstrated their relevance to public policies the SI appears as an essential tool for evaluating development goals as a sustainable proposal. In this way, this research aimed to discuss the main challenges and methodological limitations found in the use of SI, emphasizing the main fragilities identified in the literature. In methodological terms, the research has exploratory characteristics, supported by the mixed methods approach using a theoretical-empirical analysis, from the available literature on the subject and the methodologies used and the experience of researchers about the topic addressed. The main results demonstrated that Sustainability Indicators are tools that should be used to define, implement, evaluate and monitor public policies at all levels, considering the potentialities/weaknesses and priorities of each context.

AbstractIn contemporary psychiatry, depression and mania are conceived as different entities. They may occur together, as in bipolar disorder, or they may occur separately, as in unipolar depression. This view is partly based on a narrow definition of mania and a rather broad definition of depression. Generally, depression is seen as more prominent, common, and problematic; while mania appears uncommon and treatment-responsive. We suggest a reversal: mania viewed broadly, not as simply episodic euphoria plus hyperactivity, but a wide range of excitatory behaviors; and depression seen more narrowly. Further, using pharmacological and clinical evidence, and in contrast to previous theories of mania interpreted as a flight from depression, we propose the primacy of mania hypothesis (PM): depression is a consequence of the excitatory processes of mania. If correct, current treatment of depressive illness needs revision. Rather than directly lifting mood with antidepressants, the aim would be to suppress manic-like excitation, with depression being secondarily prevented. Potential objections to, and empirical tests of, the PM hypothesis are discussed.

'Water services' is a term under the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) that describes economic activities which make use of water infrastructure that changes the physical characteristic of a water body. Economic actors who make use of water in this way are asked to come up for all or part of the costs and thus contribute to the achievement of good water status - the objective of the WFD. However many European member states have applied a narrow definition of the term in their national legislation and restricted water services to the traditional water service sectors: wastewater treatment and municipal drinking water supply, leaving agriculture, mining, hydropower or navigation aside. Because of the narrow definition of this legal term the wrong economic policies are applied to water users resulting in a poor allocation of natural and financial resources. This goes against the very essence of the WFD which was adopted to start a new area in which all human pressures on water are dealt within a single framework and in which the polluter has to pay. The involvement of all relevant sectors and application of wise economics is crucial for the timely implementation of the WFD. In turn, this is essential for the European society and economy in view of the predicted increase in pressure on water in the future. EEB and WWF started a collective complaint against 11 member states in 2006 to enforce the correct implementation of the Directive. A decision by the European court of Justice is expected in the fall of 2012. In this article the author explains the concept of the term 'water services' and outlines the economic and legal consequences of a narrow and broad definition. The development of the collective (or strategic) complaint from 2006 till today is also described.

AbstractThis paper seeks to determine the intuitive meaning of the concept of information by indicating its essential (definitional) features and relations with other concepts, such as that of knowledge. The term “information” – as with many other concepts, such as “process”, “force”, “energy” and “matter” – has a certain established meaning in natural languages, which allows it to be used, in science as well as in everyday life, without our possessing any somewhat stricter definition of it. The basic aim here is thus to explicate what it amounts to in the context of its intuitive meaning as encountered in natural languages, what the subject of cognition implicitly presumes when using the term, and to which ontological situations it can be applied. I demonstrate that the essential features of the notion of information include the presence of a material medium, its transformation, the recording and reading of information encoded in the medium, and the grasp of what is recorded, coded and transmitted as an intentional object, where the latter is construed in terms broadly in line with the ontologies of Husserl and Ingarden. Along the way, a number of issues relating to the notion of information are also pointed out: the problem of informational identity, of the existence of virtual objects, and of the choice of an adequate information carrier, as well as formal-ontological problems, including those which concern relations between information carriers and intentional objects.

faculty. Follow-up univariate F tests revealed 14 items that differed significantly at the 0.05 level using the Scheffé test. For a number of the items, it appears that there is statistical significance and not necessarily meaningful differences. For ex-ample, the item concerning taking a test for another student was rated 3.97 and 3.84 by students and faculty, respectively, yet was different in statistical signifi-cance. Of the items that are significantly different, 3 stand out as being meaning-ful. Items pertaining to studying from old versions of exams and having the instructors manual that contains test items were rated more severe by students (Ms = 2.75 and 3.53, respectively) than faculty (Ms = 1.64 and 2.91, respectively), whereas faculty rated collaborating on work that was supposed to be done individ-ually as more severe (M = 3.05) than did students (M = 2.70). A broad definition of perceived prevalence of cheating was established by ask-ing faculty and students to rate the percentage of students they believed cheat using a Likert scale with 1 being 0% and 10 being 90% to 100%. Faculty perceived that between 0% to 10% of students cheat (M = 1.89), whereas students perceived be-tween 10% to 20% of students cheat (M = 2.32), a difference that is significant, i(271) = 4.27, p<. 001. Table 1 presents the perceived prevalence results using a narrow definition of the term based on the 40 academically dishonest items. As can be seen from Table 1, both faculty and students perceive that the prevalence of cheating is quite low, with most item ratings having means below 2.00, indicating that 1 % to 10% of stu-dents are perceived as engaging in the behaviors. The behaviors perceived to be most prevalent by faculty were students using old tests without permission, whereas students perceived changing words slightly from an original source as the most prevalent. Although the perception of these behaviors is relatively low, there is greater variance (standard deviations typically above 1.0) in the ratings of per-ceived prevalence when compared to the severity ratings. In general, students have greater variance than faculty in their perceived prevalence ratings. A MANO VA was computed to determine whether significant differences ex-isted between student and faculty ratings of perceived prevalence. Results re-vealed a significant MANO VA, Wilks's A = .70, F(40, 247) = 2.69, p < .001. Follow-up univariate F tests revealed 23 items that differed significantly at the .05 level. Students had higher perceived prevalence ratings on 22 of the 23 items, with faculty rating the use of old tests without permission as more prevalent than stu-dents. Similar to the results regarding severity ratings, many of the significant dif-ferences obtained on perceived prevalence ratings, although statistically significant, do not appear to be meaningful differences. For example, although the item concerning using unauthorized materials such as crib notes is statistically sig-nificant with a student mean of 1.55 and a faculty mean of 1.34, this difference is not a meaningful one.
