Abstract: Under the Ceausescu regime, Romanian Television was part of a powerful propaganda machine. The December 1989 uprising became known as a "Tele-Revolution" as some of its key moments were broadcast live. It also had negative effects on the image of the country. If reforms have been slow, enormous changes have taken place in the Romanian audiovisual landscape in the last 10 years: a regulatory Authority was set up in 1992 and audiences can now choose between the programs of public and/or private broadcasters; 40% of Romanian households are cabled, and satellite television and thematic channels are also gaining ground. In 1999, a Council of Europe report made several recommendations for Romania's public service broadcasting to be an asset capable of promoting a high-quality audiovisual cultural policy, strengthening social cohesion and contributing to rehabilitate the image of Romania. The paper suggests that while Westerners may take some credit for helping Romanians on the road to achieve the former, they should also take some of the blame for the deadlock reached on the latter. Résumé: Sous le régime de Ceaucescu, la télévision roumaine était au service d'un puissant appareil de propagande. On donna le nom de ` Télé-révolution ' aux événements de décembre 1989 car ses moments les plus marquants furent retransmis en direct. Positive d'un côté, une telle retransmission eut des conséquences catastrophiques en ce qui concerne l'image de la Roumanie à l'étranger. Bien que les réformes aient été lentes, il y a eu des changements importants dans le paysage audiovisuel roumain depuis les dix dernières années : une autorité législative est en place depuis 1992 ; les téléspectateurs peuvent choisir entre radiodiffuseurs publics et privés ; 40% des domiciles roumains reçoivent le câble ; et la télévision par satellite et les chaînes spécialisées sont en train de gagner en importance. En 1999, un rapport du Conseil de l'Europe a fait plusieurs recommandations sur la radiodiffusion du service public en Roumanie, afin qu'elle puisse réaliser les objectifs d'une politique culturelle prônant la qualité, renforcer la solidarité sociale et réhabiliter l'image de la Roumanie. Cet article suggère que les Occidentaux, bien qu'ils puissent se féliciter d'avoir aidé à améliorer les médias roumains, ont une part de responsabilité dans le manque de progrès en ce qui a trait à l'image de la Roumanie à l'étranger.

Abstract: congestion on the office and trade areas especially on Jalan Ahmad Yani is not very good. Average velocity of traffic in the morning or afternoon is only about 2 km / h, indicating the level of service on the road in the worst condition. Before getting the solution of the problem, it needs to be identified and planning things that have the potential to avoid such congestion. This study describes the existing conditions, descriptions and analysis of survey data carried out until later will be planned Building Parking Places to overcome this. The building is intended as an effort that serves the users of vehicles in a region section of Medan. It is expected that this Parking Building Building with the surrounding building can support each other. In general, this development plan only serves a particular vehicle, as a chain of facilities provided from vehicle manufacturers. The purpose of the public service is parked as much as possible, this Parking Service Building does not restrict the service only to the area where it is located, the service and placement for parking can come from outside the area in question, that is with related activities around it.Keywords: Parking Field, Vehicle Circulation, Congestion Abstrak: Kemacetan lalu lintas pada kawasan perkantoran dan perdagangan terutama di Jalan Ahmad Yani sudah sangat tidak baik. Rata-rata kecepatan arus kenderaan pada pagi atau siang hari hanya sekitar 2 km/jam, menunjukan tingkat pelayanan di jalan tersebut pada kondisi terburuk. Sebelum mendapatkan solusi dari masalah tersebut, perlu diidentifikasi dan perencanaan hal yang berpotensi untuk menghindari kemacetatan tersebut. Penelitian ini menggambarkan kondisi yang ada, deskripsi dan analisa data survei yang dilakukan sampai nantinya akan direncanakan Gedung Pelataran Parkir untuk mengatasi hal tersebut. Gedung dimaksudkan sebagai usaha yang melayani pemakai kendaraan dalam suatu wilayah dibagian kota Medan. Diharapkan Gedung Pelataran Parkir ini dengan yang  gedung sekitarnya dapat saling menunjang. Pada umumnya rencana pembangunan ini hanya melayani kendaraan tertentu, sebagai mata rantai dari fasilitas yang diberikan dari produsen kendaraan. Tujuan pelayanan masyarakat yang berparkir semaksimal, Gedung Pelataran Parkir ini tidak membatasi pelayanan hanya pada wilayah dimana ia berada, pelayanan dan penempatan untuk parkir dapat datang dari luar wilayah yang dimaksud, yaitu dengan aktivitas-aktivitas yang berhubungan disekitarnya.Kata Kunci: Pelataran Parkir, Sirkulasi Kenderaan, Kemacetan

Media Concentration

This chapter illustrates how ‘most of the Holyrood political class has been reluctant to explore the boundaries between the devolved and the reserved’, even on less life-and-death issues such as broadcasting. Conversely, it also tells of at least one post-devolution success story for classic informal pre-devolution-style ‘Scottish lobbying’ in Westminster. Scotland is presently one of the UK's leading audiovisual production centres, with Glasgow as the linchpin. The capacity of the Scottish Parliament to debate questions of media concentration but also its incapacity to act legislatively has been observed. There are both political and economic calculations behind the refusal to devolve powers over the media via the Communications Act 2003. Ofcom now has a key role in policing the terms of trade for regional production that falls within a public service broadcaster's target across the UK. The BBC's position as the principal vehicle of public service broadcasting has come increasingly under question. The Gaelic Media Service set up under the Communications Act 2003 has a line of responsibility to Ofcom in London. Scottish Advisory Committee on Telecommunications (SACOT) determined four key regulatory issues needing future attention by Ofcom.

In this paper, we analyze requirements of next generation 112 emergency services in the era of ubiquitous mobile devices and sensors and present the design, implementation, and piloting results of our testbed, which was developed within the H2020 project NEXES. The system leverages a multihop location-aware PEMEA routing network that finds the geographically closest responsible public service answering point (PSAP) and supports cross-border application roaming. Our reference mobile implementation utilizes multiple device and network-based positioning technologies, which, combined, both outperform traditional cell-tower based positioning and provide a means for detecting fraudulent calls. The system is extensible and can establish a variety of communication channels after the initial emergency session is set up; we demonstrate this with an interoperable WebRTC-based video call. The obtained results demonstrate the viability and flexibility of PEMEA-based over-the-top emergency services, show high user acceptance when comparing them with existing solutions, and thus pave the road for further rollout of such systems.

English Subject

The imperial project started to influence English national identity as early as the mid-seventeenth century, and the English began to relate their national prominence to their colonial activities, whether in trade or in the acquisition of foreign territories, throughout the eighteenth century. However, England experienced its share of anxieties on the road to imperial "greatness" in its dealings with both other European powers and its native subjects. The British people's tendency to examine themselves and their international achievements with intense pride helped to neutralize those anxieties, much like Crusoe's imagined responses to possible dangers alleviate his fictional forebodings. The English ameliorated their concerns about their international position by becoming an ever more self-referential society, thinking more highly of themselves on account of their contact with colonized peoples, as is epitomized in the personality of Crusoe. To the fictional Crusoe, the experience of his relationship with Friday validates his self-worth and his native culture more than anything else. Robinson Crusoe's affirmation of colonial power through the assertion of his authority over a particular (othered) individual corresponds with, and epitomizes, England's trading and territorial empire during the eighteenth century and the consequent effects on British subjectivity, at a time when the British were struggling to set up a trading empire and challenging other European powers for territory and markets abroad. Robinson Crusoe successfully resolves the insecurities relating to Britain's colonial activities by asserting, through Crusoe's character, the superior nature of the English subject.

Pelayanan publik merupakan elemen yang sangat penting dalam penyelenggaraan pemerintahan. Inovasi yang dibuat oleh Pemkot Surabaya bersama Dishub Kota Surabaya berkaitan dengan sistem parkir online yang disebut Park and Ride TIJ. Inovasi pelayanan ini diciptakan untuk mengatasi permasalahan peningkatan kepemilikan kendaraan di Kota Surabaya yang membuat kebutuhan parkir meningkat, tetapi tidak diikuti dengan penambahan lahan parkir. Parkir di badan jalan mengakibatkan pergerakan lalu lintas terhambat sehingga terjadi kemacetan terutama di pusat keramaian tengah kota seperti Jalan Wonokromo, Jalan Darmo, dan Jalan Setail. Tujuan penelitian ini ialah untuk mendeskripsikan Inovasi Pelayanan Publik Park and Ride TIJ Oleh Dishub Kota Surabaya. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Fokus penelitian dengan teori milik Yogi Suwarno (2008:19) yaitu aspek-aspek penting yang menunjukkan suatu organisasi telah melakukan inovasi meliputi Pengetahuan Baru, Cara Baru, Objek Baru, Teknologi Baru, dan Penemuan Baru. Teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Teknik analisis data menggunakan reduksi data, penyajian data dan ditarik kesimpulan berdasarkan data yang menjawab rumusan masalah. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah semua fasilitas yang ada di Park and Ride TIJ sudah sangat bagus dan memenuhi kebutuhan masyarakat. Hanya saja kurangnya kesadaran masyarakat untuk menggunakan fasilitas yang sudah disediakan oleh pemerintah. Setelah didirikan Park and ride pun masih ditemukan masalah yakni banyak masyarakat masih melakukan parkir liar terutama pengunjung Kebun Binatang Surabaya, serta sopir angkot yang “ngetem” di pinggir jalan sehingga menimbulkan kemacetan. Kemudian terkait dengan penerapan e-payment, karena banyak masyarakat masih menggunakan uang tunai untuk pembayaran parkir di Park nad Ride TIJ. Kata Kunci: Pelayanan Publik, Inovasi Pelayanan, Park and Ride   Public service is a very important element in government administration. The innovation made by the Surabaya City Government and the Surabaya City Transportation Agency is related to an online parking system called the TIJ Park and Ride. This service innovation was created to solve the problem of increasing vehicle ownership in the city of Surabaya which makes parking needs increase, but not followed by additional parking lots. Parking on the road causes traffic movement to be hampered, resulting in congestion, especially in the downtown area such as Jalan Wonokromo, Jalan Darmo, and Jalan Setail. The purpose of this study was to describe the TIJ Park and Ride Public Service Innovation by the Surabaya City Transportation Agency. This type of research is descriptive with a qualitative approach. The focus of research with Yogi Suwarno's (2008: 19) theory is important aspects that show an organization has made innovations including New Knowledge, New Methods, New Objects, New Technologies, and New Inventions. Data collection techniques through interviews, observation and documentation. Data analysis techniques used data reduction, data presentation and conclusions drawn based on data that answered the problem formulation. The result of this research is that all existing facilities at the TIJ Park and Ride are very good and meet the needs of the community. It's just a lack of public awareness to use the facilities provided by the government. After the establishment of Park and Ride, problems were still found, namely that many people were still parking illegal, especially visitors to the Surabaya Zoo, as well as public transportation drivers who "stuck" on the side of the road, causing congestion. Then related to the application of e-payments, because many people still use cash for parking payments at TIJ Park nad Ride. Keywords: Public Service, Service Innovation, Park and Ride

To study the reserve capacity of city road network under ice and snow condition，the upper programming model was build on the basis of travelers’ demands on level of service, which was incarnated on capacity of links, and travel time reliability, while user equilibrium (UE) was set up in the lower programming model. Then, sensitivity analysis was applied to solve the bi-level programming model under ice and snow condition. At last, one simulation network example was given to demonstrate the practicality of the given model, and the result showed that the ice and snow condition and the travelers’ demands on level of service had great impact on the road network reserve capacity. The methodology is useful and applicable to evaluate road network under ice and snow condition and lays the foundation for capacity reliability.

Method Of Evaluation

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, one of the major challenges of humanity was to reduce the negative effects of civilization development. Besides the engines used in road vehicles there is a large group of engines for non-road applications. This group includes motor propelled vehicles not used on the road NRMM (Non-Road Mobile Machinery). Engines of these vehicles, among all of the non-road applications, are characterized by very specific working conditions that do not allow for them to be qualified for propulsion engines. The main problem with these vehicles is the particulate matter and nitrogen oxides emission. Rail vehicles operating conditions these requirements take by the similar way, as having a wide range of rolling stock markedly alters the environmental impact of these vehicles. Thus it becomes necessary to consider the issue of the method of evaluation of engine emissions in rail vehicles in terms of their actual operating conditions. Thus, efforts to assess the actual level of emissivity for rail vehicles and attempts to improve it are necessary and justified.

The crossings of railway and road can represent a great danger, especially in the case of poor design of these crossings, lack of management measures and inadequate provision of road crossing. Such situations are common on the road network of the Republic of Serbia. Namely, more than 50% of all road crossings on state roads in the Republic of Serbia are not adequately equipped and provided with traffic signalization and road equipment. It is evident that this problem requires timely measures and finding an adequate solution in order to efficiently implement road and rail traffic and reduce the risk of negative effects. This situation also results in the occurrence of traffic accidents at road-level crossings, the number of which has not decreased over the years. In this paper, the traffic-spatial analysis of road-rail crossings on state roads in the Republic of Serbia is performed, which includes a total of 245 road-rail crossings. The analysis was conducted in order to determine the existing situation and identify deficiencies in the network, on the basis of which adequate design and management measures will be proposed to improve the existing condition.

We have developed a sensor systemthat can simultaneously detect the travel position and attitude of amobile robot. The developed sensor system consists of magnet sensors and N landmarks set up on the road. The N landmarks, made of steel plate, are set up in the shape of an N on the road. The magnet sensors accurately detect the center of a steel plate and calculate the center of the N landmark and the attitude of the mobile robot. The sensor system realizes detection that is robust against lift off variation and deposition (soil, water, snow, etc.) on the steel plate. We have confirmed the validity of the sensor system through a travel experiment involving a mobile robot on which the sensor system is mounted.
