Effective Design

Design is the core of innovation activity, and it aims to establish better and comprehensive qualities of products. It is also a process to explore and enhance the human experience. During decades of exploration and practice, designers have developed many effective design methods and methodologies. However, users always have more needs and higher expectations. How will the human needs develop in the future? What will the future design is? This paper discusses the relationship between the development of human needs and the process of product evolution, explores the future design trends and presents a theoretical framework for innovation design with optimised customization.

Information theory has made great impact on the research of communication systems. However, analyze and design of networks has not benefited too much from information theory. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the information-theoretical framework of context aware network to explore the relationship between the information and the network performance. We also analyze the information traffic process in context aware network. To illustrate our approach, we analyze the architecture of context aware network by the information entropy produced in the network, and discuss the way to improve the performance of context aware in an information-theoretic perspective. The results in this paper may be also used to design other network and guide the future network design.

RESUMENGiorgio Agamben intenta explorar las condiciones para alguna experiencia futura. Releyendo el ensayo Sobre el programa de la filosofía venidera (1917) de Walter Benjamin, identifica el núcleo de la relación entre experiencia y conocimiento. En ese breve texto, se explicitan las tareas principales del pensamiento y la necesidad de unificar la exigencia de la legitimación del conocimiento y la exigencia de la experiencia. A partir de esta premisa, en este artículo se intenta repensar la experiencia a partir de la noción de «juego» y vincular el planteo gambeniano con una suerte de arqueología benjaminiana de la historia.PALABRAS CLAVEGIORGIO AGAMBEN, WALTER BENJAMIN, ARQUEOLOGÍA, FILOSOFÍA VENIDERAABSTRACTGiorgio Agamben tries to explore de conditions for some future experience. Rereading Walter Benjamin’s essay about the future philosophy (1917), Agamben identifies the core of the relationship between experience and knowledge. In that short text, Benjamin explicates the main tasks of thinking and the need to unify the requirement of knowledge and experience. From this premise, this article attempts to rethink the experience from the notion of «play» and link the Agambenian proposition with a sort of Benjaminian archeology of history.KEYWORDSGIORGIO AGAMBEN, WALTER BENJAMIN, ARCHAEOLOGY, FUTURE PHILOSOPHY

Association Policy

This article takes up the European Neighbourhood Policy-related debate on the future design of the association policy of the European Union (EU) towards the countries of the Eastern Partnership (EaP). It pursues two objectives. First, it examines - apart from a brief discussion of the origins and genesis of the concept of “association plus” in the context of the wider EU neighbourhood framework - how the intra-EU discourse on the future of the EaP has evolved and changed in recent years and which propositions are nowadays at the core of the debate. Secondly, it analyses these propositions, mainly revolving around the integration of EaP countries into the emerging Energy and Digital Union and the Schengen Area as well as the creation of bilateral customs unions, in what regards opportunities and challenges for the eastern neighbours. The article argues that “association plus”, as demanded by the European Parliament and some EaP countries, would generate considerable financial and political costs even for those eastern neighbours that have implemented significant reforms and that it seems acceptable only if it were explicitly declared as an intermediate step towards the granting of an EU membership perspective.

The Relationship

In this article, I explore the relationship between the temporality of the composer and that of the music composed. This investigation starts with a fundamental presumption: composers, generally speaking, think in the future – their compositions will be performed and perceived at a different and later time than that of the compositional act, and will be listened by other persons. The hypothesis I develop in this article is that the musical work determines a deferred relationship between the listener and the composer, and that the compositional act is basically a dialogical act. Paul Ricœur’s theory of mimesis is helpful in analysing this dialogical mechanism through the notion of ‘temporal configuration’. By drawing on this theoretical framework, I interviewed five composers in order to make explicit the imbrication of the composer’s and listener’s temporalities in the musical work. This exploratory inquiry allowed for a concrete analysis, articulated in the words of the composers, of how they conceive the relationship between their compositional temporality and that expressed by their work.

This paper offers a theoretical description and discuss alternative approaches to Early Intervention (EI). The theoretical framework is based on the philosophical and educational frameworks of Hans Skjervheim and Gert Biesta. The central part of this discussion is the elaboration of different approaches in education, and how it relates to EI. It is stated that EI is historically rooted in an Anglo-American tradition where the central goal was to reduce the societal consequences of children struggling in schools and life in general. Evaluations, tests and interventions directed towards these children is at the core of this tradition. The alternative presented in this article points at an educational framework based on a European, relational centred, education framework and offers a perspective where EI is re-framed into a strategy where EI is focusing on the adult, responsible, person in the relationship.

This review article explores several latest endeavours that theorise the state and globalisation. The aim is to reflect further on some of the wider follies that lie within the ambition of debates on the state and globalisation. By uniting common themes throughout the review – revolving around issues of state capacity in the post-colonial world, the relationship between globalisation and international relations, and the very meaning of globality – the review raises a series of questions for further research on the state and globalisation. Most significantly, it seeks to question the future of critical theorising on the state and globalisation within international studies. It does so by arguing that there remain serious question-begging assumptions about capitalism that lie at the core of present general theories of the state and globalisation that, if overlooked, might also blunt the precepts of critical international theorising.

This study analyzes Australia and Fiji's bilateral cooperation in thesecurity sector for the 2014-2019 period. Entering the democratizationera after the Fiji Coup in 2006, the relationship between Canberra andSuva seems to be getting better. Several regional and even internationalsecurity initiatives were seen as being encouraged. This paper then arguesthat the convergence of interests between the two can be attributed to thesimilarity of perceptions in terms of regional and international defense,which is increasingly prevalent in the era of democratization in Fiji. Thispaper begins by describing the methodology and theoretical framework offoreign policy analysis used to analyze this phenomenon. The next sectionprovides background on contemporary relations between Australia andFiji and analyzes how their dynamics led to the collaboration in question.This paper ends by analyzing the prospects for the resilience of bilateralrelations between the two countries in the future with the proliferation ofnew security challenges.

This study investigated the factors contributing to older adults’ acceptance of assistive social robots. A survey was conducted to find factors explaining and predicting older adults’ acceptance behavior of assistive social robots. Three factors of older adults’ needs for assistive social robots were found (advanced needs, social needs, and physiological needs) which integrated Maslow’s five levels of basic human needs. According to older adults’ self-reported scores, the most important needs were physiological needs, followed by advanced needs and social needs. A regression analysis showed that the advanced needs and social needs significantly influence older adults’ use intention of assistive social robots. The results can assist in the future design of assistive social robot functions and features targeting the older population.

Abstract. In many regions with seasonal snow cover, summer streamflow is primarily sustained by groundwater that is recharged during the snowmelt period. Therefore, below-normal snowpack (snow drought) may lead to below-normal summer streamflow (streamflow drought). Summer streamflow is important for supplying human needs and sustaining ecosystems. Climate change impacts on snow have been widely studied, but the relationship between snow drought and streamflow drought is not well understood. In this study, a combined investigation of climate change impacts on snow drought and streamflow drought was completed using generic groundwater – surface water models for four headwater catchments in different ecoregions of British Columbia. Results show that, in response to increased precipitation and temperature, the snow drought regime changes substantially for all four catchments. Warm snow droughts, which are caused by above-normal winter temperatures, increase in frequency, and dry snow droughts, which are caused by below-normal winter precipitation, decrease in frequency. The shift toward more frequent and severe temperature-related snow droughts leads to decreased summer runoff, decreased summer groundwater storage, and more extreme low flows in summer. Moreover, snow droughts propagate into summer streamflow droughts more frequently in the future time periods (2050s, 2080s) as compared to the baseline 1980s period. Thus, warm snow droughts not only become more frequent and severe in the future but also more likely to result in summer streamflow drought conditions.
