Exploring digital technology industry clusters using administrative and frontier data

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors which influence refugee migrants’ adoption of digital technology and its relevance to their social inclusion in Australia. Design/methodology/approach – This research developed a conceptual framework keeping the “use” of digital technology as the centre-piece of the digital divide. The empirical data were derived from a series of focus group discussions with refugee migrants in an Australian regional city, Toowoomba in Queensland. Findings – There is a digital divide among refugee migrant groups and it is based on inequalities in physical access to and use of digital technology, the skills necessary to use the different technologies effectively and the ability to pay for the services. The opportunities to use digital technology could support the social inclusion of refugee migrant groups in the broader Australian community. Research limitations/implications – Further research is required to examine whether this digital divide is unique in the regional context or common to Australian society and to confirm factors that might contribute significantly to refugee migrants’ social inclusion. Originality/value – This paper determined the role digital technology can play in building social capital and hence social inclusion among refugee migrant groups. Many of the factors identified as influencing refugee migrants’ use of digital technology can inform the Australian government and the information and communication technology industry in devising supportive policies and plans to reduce the risk of social exclusion, alienation and marginalisation among refugee migrant groups.

Industry cluster development is important to stimulate regional economy. Conventional spatial methods for detecting industry clusters use a pairwise manner to infer the co-location relationships of multiple industrial types or instances, which increases the difficulty of interpreting the results. This study proposes to use co-location patterns (CPs) mining method to directly capture the co-location of multiple industrial types from the bottom up without any conditions of data relations defined a priori. The method is applied in Dongguan, China, to investigate the industry cluster patterns at an intra-urban scale. At the city level, the results show prevalent CPs of information communication and technology industry and other associated sectors. At the sub-regional level, however, approximately 41% of the industrial CPs are different from those obtained at the city level. The local features of sub-regional industry clusters are associated with productions of, for instance, sporting goods and toys, digital instrument and office equipment, machine parts and woodware, and textile-related products.

Social Climbing

This study examines the development of photographic technology that facilitates the development of the phenomenon of social climbing by highlighting the hyperreality of social media, thereby resulting in the emergence of a new identity for social climbers. Photography technology has evolved over time. Digital technology has created instant technology that makes it easy for camera users to operate cameras with automatic adjustment features, therefore the technology industry is constantly looking for ways to develop and make smartphones. Smartphones integrate image and communication technology into one device, making it easier for users to communicate. This smart phone supports online access to social media because of its features that can be connected to the internet. So anyone can share their photography using this tool and also social media. social media makes it easy for everyone to access information including personal activities that are shared, so that phenomena that are often referred to as social climbing phenomena are phenomena marked by social media users who are competing to improve their social status on online social media. The phenomenon of social climbing makes someone create a new identity for themselves on social media. Creating a life that is exaggerated from its original reality or also called hyperreality. This study aims to provide education related to the use of photography and social media, so that people do not fall into the phenomenon of false identities in social media.

Foshan City

For a large number of traditional industries, digital transformation is an all-round, multi angle and whole chain transformation process using digital technology. In recent years, Foshan has made some progress in Internet technology, industry, application and cross-border integration, and has become the only pilot city for comprehensive reform of manufacturing transformation and upgrading in China. However, for the traditional industries, the constraints of resources and energy, the increasing pressure of ecological environment, the gradual decline of demographic dividend and other factors restrict economic development to meet challenges. By deepening the application of digital technology in production, operation, management and marketing, it is an important way to realize the digital, network and intelligent development of enterprises and industries, and constantly release the amplification, superposition and multiplication effect of digital technology on economic development. It is an important way to realize the quality change, efficiency change and dynamic change of traditional industries. This is also the only way to promote high-quality economic development. In this paper, through the exploration of informatization and digitization to promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries in Foshan City and the realization of the path, it is of great significance for the sustainable development of high-quality economy in Foshan City.

Training And Supervision

Abstract The purpose of this article is to provide clinical supervisors with information pertaining to state-of-the-art clinic observation technology. We use a novel video-capture technology, the Landro Play Analyzer, to supervise clinical sessions as well as to train students to improve their clinical skills. We can observe four clinical sessions simultaneously from a central observation center. In addition, speech samples can be analyzed in real-time; saved on a CD, DVD, or flash/jump drive; viewed in slow motion; paused; and analyzed with Microsoft Excel. Procedures for applying the technology for clinical training and supervision will be discussed.
