Definition Of

AbstractUrban informatics is an interdisciplinary approach to understanding, managing, and designing the city using systematic theories and methods based on new information technologies. Integrating urban science, geomatics, and informatics, urban informatics is a particularly timely way of fusing many interdisciplinary perspectives in studying city systems. This edited book aims to meet the urgent need for works that systematically introduce the principles and technologies of urban informatics. The book gathers over 40 world-leading research teams from a wide range of disciplines, who provide comprehensive reviews of the state of the art and the latest research achievements in their various areas of urban informatics. The book is organized into six parts, respectively covering the conceptual and theoretical basis of urban informatics, urban systems and applications, urban sensing, urban big data infrastructure, urban computing, and prospects for the future of urban informatics. This introductory chapter provides a definition of urban informatics and an outline of the book’s structure and scope.

This essay is both historical and conceptual, first highlighting the origins, tensions, and continuities/discontinuities of focus group research, then arguing for how such research embodies three primary, related functions: inquiry, pedagogy, and political. The quasi-unique potentials or affordances of focus group work are explored, including mitigating the researcher’s authority; disclosing the constitutive power of discourse; approximating the natural; filling in knowledge gaps and saturating understanding; drawing out complexity, nuance, and contradiction; disclosing eclipsed connections; and creating opportunities for political activism. Contemporary threats to focus group work are described, and new research frontiers are proposed, especially in relation to new information technologies. The essay integrates historical, conceptual, and practical perspectives to fully explain the potentials of focus group research, with the goal of advancing a set of understandings about focus group work that attends to its relatively unique potentials for conducting qualitative inquiry across a wide range of topics and disciplinary contexts.

Modern society changes daily under the influence of various factors. This inevitable process of development entails changes in all spheres of human activity, including education, which is the most important today, since it provides competitive specialists for the labor market and employment. In modern realities, a specialist must have not only fundamental knowledge, but also the skills and skills to apply them, as well as a wide range of additional qualities necessary for him in his professional activity, such as: the ability to self-development and self-education, the ability to master new information technologies, communication skills, be included in the process of mastering new trends in the field of their professional interests, and a number of others. A teacher is a specialist in the field of education who teaches and educates the younger generation. They must have all the above qualities, knowledge, skills and abilities in at least five subject areas (subject, methodology, pedagogy, psychology, information technology) and successfully combine all these to solve their professional tasks. The system of training a future teacher is quite a complex process due to its multitasking, but today an important aspect in this system is the information educational environment. The article describes the method of training a computer science teacher using this environment. The developed method was tested at the Department of Computational Mathematics and Methods of Teaching Informatics of Moscow Region State University and consists in creating special conditions that allow for joint information activities and interaction using various distributed information resources.

First Time

The ‘Collecting Societies Directive’ has allowed German legislators to aim at creating a uni-form level of regulation in terms of the multi-territorial licensing of rights in musical works for online use at the European level for the first time. In light of a so far nationally determined practice of collective licensing and the unsuccessful regulation policy of the EU in the past, the question arises of whether this new legal framework is an adequate response to structural economic inefficiencies within collecting societies’ system of rights management. In this study, Paul Rhode examines this harmonised regulation in the field of online music in the form of its transposition into German law, the VGG, taking into account the foundations of competition economics and new information technologies. On this basis, he detects a remaining factual and legal need for reform to create an efficient collective rights management system, which is currently experiencing an unprecedented transition phase due to globalisation and digitalisation.

The journals of the International Union of Crystallography have grown in size and number over the past 60 years to match developments in scientific practice and technique. High quality of publication has always been at the forefront of editorial policy and ways in which this has been achieved are described. In particular, the development of standard exchange and archive formats for crystallographic data has allowed the editorial office to conduct automated analyses of structural data supporting articles submitted for publication and these analyses assist the scientific editors in careful and critical peer review. The new information technologies of the Internet age have allowed the IUCr journals to flourish and to provide a wide range of powerful services to authors, editors and readers alike. The integration of literature and supporting structural data is of particular importance. The new technologies have also brought fresh economic and cultural challenges, and offer completely new opportunities to disseminate the results of scientific research. The journals continue to respond to these challenges and take advantage of new opportunities in innovative ways.

On 16—20 May 2021, the All-Russian Library Congress: XXV Anniversary Annual Conference of the Russian Library Association (RLA) was held in the Library Capital of Russia for 2020/2021, Petrozavodsk (Republic of Karelia), with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation and the Government of the Republic of Karelia. The theme of the Congress was “Library 2030: Building the Future Today”. For the first time, this forum was held in a hybrid format, i.e., both offline and online, while all the events were streamed online, which made it possible to expand the audience reach. The strategic goals of the Congress were to identify the main trends in the development of librarianship and to form the image of the library of the future. Consequently, many speakers focused on the pivotal document for the library field “The strategy for the development of librarianship in the Russian Federation until 2030”, approved in 2021. In addition, the participants deliberated the draft of the new professional standard “Specialist in library and information activities”. The plenary and sectional sessions involved the discussions on the development of libraries of various types, the library profession in the modern world, etc. The Congress was accompanied by the XXI Exhibition of publishing products, new information technologies, goods and services, which was also organised in a hybrid format. At the final plenary meeting, the results of the elections of the President of the RLA and the members of the RLA Board for 2021—2024 were announced. M.D. Afanasyev was elected President of the RLA for a second term. One of the important outcomes of the Congress was the adoption at the final plenary session of the RLA normative and advisory act “Methodological recommendations for the formation of basic standards for the provision of public libraries services in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation”. Nizhny Novgorod received the status of the Library Capital of Russia for 2022, and it is going to host the XXVI All-Russian Library Congress next year.

В данной лекции содержится теоретико-практический материал, отражающий дискуссионные вопросы внедрения цифровых технологий современной науки криминологии в Российской Федерации. Специально показывается, что развитие цифровых технологий предъявляет повышенные требования к обеспечению деятельности следователей при использовании цифровых технологий: при доказывании юридических фактов; оптимизации процессуальных и управленческих процессов, как на стадии возбуждения уголовного дела, так и в ходе расследования преступления; решении проблем, возникающих при внедрении новых информационных технологий в правоприменительную практику. Автор предлагает внимательно проанализировать действующую нормативную правовую базу с целью ее корректировки в направлении повышения эффективности использования цифровых технологий в современной криминалистике. This lecture contains theoretical and practical material, reflecting the debatable issues of the introduction of digital technologies of the modern science of criminology in the Russian Federation. It is specially shown that the development of digital technologies imposes increased requirements for ensuring the activities of investigators when using digital technologies: when proving legal facts; optimization of procedural and managerial processes, both at the stage of initiating a criminal case and during the investigation of a crime; solving problems arising from the introduction of new information technologies into law enforcement practice. The author proposes to carefully analyze the current regulatory legal framework in order to correct it in the direction of increasing the efficiency of using digital technologies in modern criminology.
