The professional profiles and skills related to journalism are adapting to a new paradigm as a consequence of the advent of new technologies - the web 2.0, the end of the monopoly of news production by mass media, etc. This study aims to provide a comprehensive critical mapping of new professional profiles and skills demanded in the field of journalism, based on a scoping review and in-depth interviews with professionals and academics in Spain. The results show a great variety of new profiles and nomenclatures. This is in part because of a significant overlapping in the functions emphasized by them. With regards to skills, the traditional ones are still the most valued by the market, although new competencies are becoming more and more important.

In this essay, I reflect on the aesthetic, political and material implications of filming as a continuous life activity since the beginning of the 2011 uprising in Syria. I argue that the blurry, shaky and pixelated aesthetics of Syrian user-generated videos serve to construct an ethical discourse (Ranciére 2009a; 2013) to address the genesis and the goal of the images produced, and to shape a political commitment to the evidence-image (Didi-Huberman 2008). However, while the unstable visuals of the handheld camera powerfully reconnect, both at a symbolic and aesthetic level, to the truthfulness of the moment of crisis in which they are generated, they fail to produce a clearer understanding of the situation and a counter-hegemonic narrative. In this article, I explore how new technologies have impacted this process of bearing witness and documenting events in real time, and how they have shaped a new understanding of the image as a networked, multiple object connected with the living archive of history, in a permanent dialogue with the seemingly endless flow of data nurtured by the web 2.0.

The Web

In recent years, the usage pattern of the Web has been undergoing dramatic changes. The traditional definition of the Web, “a system of interlinked hyper-text documents”, can no longer describe the situation accurately today. Instead, users want to interact with Web resources and even want to create their own Web resources that can interact with others. This is what we call “Web 2.0”, a new Web that is both read-able and write-able. However, considering Web-based services around us: the calendar services, the traveling services, and the messaging services, etc., one can draw a conclusion that what Web users nowadays expect from the Web are not only contents and interactions but also services. To meet this expectation, a read/write/execute-able Web is demanded. In this paper, new technologies for building such a Web are proposed. A virtual browsing environment is employed to transform existing Web resources into executable services. Furthermore, an HTML-to-XML annotation/transformation technology is integrated into the virtual browsing environment to form the data model part. With these technologies, the Web will be transformed into “a system of interlinked services.”

<p>The web 2.0 era has shifted brand ownership from communication specialists towards consumers. This is the main idea on which Rodica Sãvulescu builds her argumentation in her recently published book, `<em>Web 2.0 Brands. User-generated content` (2016). </em>The emergence of new technologies blurs the lines between content producers and consumers. In this book, the author addresses the topic of democratization of content in relation with brand communication.</p>

This chapter explores how Web application software architecture has evolved from the simple beginnings of static content, through dynamic content, to adaptive content and the integrated client-server technologies of the Web 2.0. It reviews how various technologies and standards have developed in a repeating cycle of innovation, which tends to fragment the Web environment, followed by standardisation, which enables the wider reach of new technologies. It examines the impact of the Web 2.0, XML, Ajax and mobile Web clients on Web application architectures, and how server side processes can support increasingly rich, diverse and interactive clients. It provides an overview of a server-side Java-based architecture for contemporary Web applications that demonstrates some of the key concepts under discussion. By outlining the various forces that influence architectural decisions, this chapter should help developers to take advantage of the potential of innovative technologies without sacrificing the broad reach of standards based development.

The Web

The emergence of Web 2.0 is materialized by new technologies (APIs, Ajax, etc.), by new practices (mashup, geotagging, etc.) an, by new tools (wiki, blog, etc.). It is primarily based on the principle of participation and collaboration. In this dynamic, the web mapping with spatial character or simply called Geospatial Web (or Geoweb) evolves by strong technological and social changes. Participatory GeoWeb 2.0 is materialized in particular by mashups among wikis and géobrowsers (ArgooMap, Geowiki, WikiMapia, etc.). The new applications resulting from these mashups are moving towards more interactive forms of collective intelligence. The Geodesign is a new area, which is the coupling between GIS and design, allowing a multidisciplinary team to work together. As it is an emergent term, the Geodesign has not be well defined and it requires innovative theoretical basis, new tools, media, technologies and practices to fit its complex requirements. In this document, we propose some GeoWeb 2.0 tools and technologies that could support the Geodesign process. The main contributions of the present research are firstly identifying the needs, requirements and constraints of Geodesign process as an emergent fuzzy field, and secondly offering new supports that are best meeting to the collaborative dimension of this process.

This questionnaire-based study was conducted as a part of an MA Dissertation in the summer of 2010 (Gough, 2010a). It examines the trends within the translation industry which have developed in response to the evolution of the Web from Web 1.0 (the information web) to Web 2.0 (the social web) and places professional translators against the backdrop of these trends. The developments based on the principles of sharing, openness and collaboration associated with Web 2.0 can be seen as affecting the tools used by translators and the processes in which they engage. This study examines professional translators’ awareness and perception of the new open, collaborative tools and processes and the degree of tools usage and process participation. The key findings of this study highlight translators’ vague awareness and insufficient understanding of these trends, marginal use of the open tools and little engagement in the collaborative processes. The underlying factor determining translators’ awareness, perception and the use of these tools and processes is their attitude towards adopting new technologies, with an indication that professionals with innovative attitudes are more inclined to embrace the new trends and developments.

Steam Parameters

The aim of this paper is to discuss the major technological changes related to the implementation of large-scale cogeneration and biofuel production in the sugar and alcohol industry. The reduction of the process steam consumption, implementation of new alternatives in driving mills, the widespread practice of high steam parameters use in cogeneration facilities, the insertion of new technologies for biofuels production (hydrolysis and gasification), the energy conversion of sugarcane trash and vinasse, animal feed production, process integration and implementation of the biorefinery concept are considered. Another new paradigm consists in the wide spreading of sustainability studies of products and processes using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the implementation of sustainability indexes. Every approach to this issue has as an objective to increase the economic efficiency and the possibilities of the sugarcane as a main source of two basic raw materials: fibres and sugar. The paper briefly presents the concepts, indicators, state-of-the-art and perspectives of each of the referred issues.
