Democratization and the Information Revolution: A Global Analysis for the 1980sEsslinger, Thomas A. (Thomas Andreas) 08 1900 (has links)
Comparative studies of democratization point to a multitude of explanatory factors, while often lacking empirical evidence and theoretical foundation. This study introduces the revolution in information technology as a significant contributor to democratization in the 1980s and beyond. Utilizing a cybernetic version of an evolutionary interpretation of democratization an amended model for 147 countries is tested by bivariate and multiple regression analysis. The focus of the analysis is on how the first-ever use of an indicator of information technology explains democratization. The overall findings show that information technology is a meaningful element in the study of democratization today.

Stuxnet-attacken mot Iran : Strukturell realism i informationsrevolutionens tidsålderRyd, Erik January 2014 (has links)
This study aims to explain the Stuxnet-attack against Iran in 2009-2010 by using the IR-theory of structural realism. By doing so the theory also faces the challenge of the impact of the information revolution on security and international relations. The structural realism that is at hand is that of Kenneth Waltz and his Theory of International Politics from 1979.The study reaches the conclusion that Waltzs focus on the structure of the international system and the distribution of capabilities applies well to the case of Stuxnet as a cyber attack. The creators of the sophisticated Stuxnet, USA and Israel, also indicates that when it comes to this certain aspect of the information revolution and IR, states seem to still be the main actor. Finally the character of one of the major features of the Stuxnet-attack; the internet, is shown to have an anarchic structure that fits well as an extension of the realist view of the international system.

[en] THE PROFESSIONAL USAGE OF THE CELL PHONE: HOW ARE PEOPLE´S LIFE AND WORK AFTER THE ARRIVAL OF THIS TECHNOLOGY? / [pt] O USO PROFISSIONAL DO TELEFONE CELULAR: COMO ESTÃO A VIDA E O TRABALHO APÓS A CHEGADA DESSA NOVA TECNOLOGIA?LUCIA HELENA MELO CIPRIANO 28 May 2007 (has links)
[pt] As revoluções tecnológicas resultaram em grandes
transformações no
mundo e influenciaram na subjetividade de todos. Esta
dissertação busca ouvir
profissionais do mercado de trabalho, para entender como
estão, no início do
século XXI, a vida e o trabalho após a chegada dos
celulares. Para tanto, foram
entrevistados profissionais com filhos, que possuem
telefones celulares
concedidos e com contas pagas por suas empresas situadas
no Rio de Janeiro. A
análise das respostas indica a queda de fronteiras entre
o
mundo pessoal e
profissional. O trabalho entra no cotidiano da família,
através do celular, assim
como a família consegue penetrar no ambiente de trabalho
a
qualquer hora. A vida
dos participantes da pesquisa passou a ter um ritmo mais
acelerado, com agilidade
e flexibilidade, já que podem trabalhar ou fazer contato
com suas casas e
familiares a qualquer hora e em qualquer lugar.
Entretanto, esse trabalhador
contemporâneo que é contatado facilmente pelo celular,
percebe a necessidade de
que estejam disponíveis em tempo integral e com
respostas
rápidas para as
demandas constantes do seu dia-a-dia. O celular tornou-
se
uma ferramenta de
trabalho, assim como o computador e o e-mail, e os
entrevistados desta pesquisa
não conseguem se perceber executando suas atividades sem
eles. Na análise das
entrevistas pode-se verificar ainda o surgimento de
novos
hábitos, a partir da
utilização constante do celular, tais como a
administração
da casa e da família à
distância e a possibilidade de trabalhar remotamente. / [en] Technological revolutions have brought about dramatic
changes in the world
and in the ways people live, think, behave and feel. The
purpose of the present
study is to understand how the arrival of cell phones has
affected the ways
employees in the contemporary labor market live their
private and professional
lives. For this purpose, professionals who have children
and whose cell phone
accounts are paid for by their companies were interviewed.
All of them lived and
worked in Rio de Janeiro. Their answers showed that there
is no frontier between
their professional and private lives; cell phone use makes
their working and
professional lives mingle. In addition, the results
revealed that the lives of those
who took part in the present study have become more agile
due to the fact they
can both work and contact their homes and family at any
time, no matter where
they are. However, these professionals, who can also be
easily reached by means
of their cell phones, feel that they have to be available
to their employers all the
time in order to quickly solve their daily demands by
phone. The cell phone, in
the same way as the computer and the e-mail, has become a
working tool. The
interviewees admitted they could not imagine their daily
lives without those tools.
The interviews also showed that new habits have been
created as a result of the
constant use of those tools. Among these new habits are
the administration of
home and family from any distance and the possibility of
work remotely.

Attitudinal influence on technlogy usage by faculty in higher educationGreenberg, Valerie K. 27 April 2015 (has links)
The rapid inclusion of new technologies into educational curriculum has left some educators feeling ill prepared and anxious towards changes in teaching styles and curriculum necessary to put these innovations to use in their classrooms. It is imperative that we address this reluctance in order to provide inclusion of both faculty and students in the information revolution that began with the Internet and that continues to sweep the globe. Existing research takes primarily an external perspective to lack of technology usage in education; few studies have considered the psychological barriers that may contribute to technological and digital inequality within a University community. Real progress can be made in motivating technology resistant faculty by teaching them to differentiate between the characteristics of experts and novices, by providing them with the tools necessary to improve their self-efficacy to utilize new teaching technologies, and by providing the infrastructural support necessary to succeed. / text

The First Icomde A Library for the Information AgeTodd, Daniel Elias 18 November 2008 (has links)
The library has existed as a repository for knowledge for centuries. However, in spite of the information revolution and its watershed component, the internet, this institution has found itself fundamentally unchanged. Great strides have been taken to adapt the library to this changing world, but these incremental changes are timid and reactionary.
Through the internet the floodgates have opened; individuals are creating and sharing information both personal and academic, in the form of not-so-private journals, works of creative fiction, works of journalism, works of scholarship, and every other form of intellectual (and not so intellectual) propagation imaginable.
Additionally, advances in computer display and input technology are breaking down the conceptions of what a computer is and how we interact with them. The trend is pointing to a future where computers are no longer objects, but an integrated component of our built environment, capable of responding to practically limitless simultaneous individual users.
This thesis will take the lead on these growing trends and create a new type of information age institution to evolve alongside, rather than supplant, the library: Icomde. This new institution will explore the possibilities of these new technologies while embracing the spirit of the information revolution. It will create a unique place where people can experience state of the art means of information creation, interaction, and collaboration. Finally, when the technology present has been fundamentally surpassed, the Icomde will be dismantled and the pieces distributed to dozens of locations throughout the world to found new Icomdes, with the original site becoming host to the next iteration of whatever advanced technologies will follow.
This thesis will seek to examine the cultural, social role of the library as it has evolved and has been propagated through the course of human events, using design and history research, so as to employ the 'spirit' of this place as completely as possible in spite of the proposed radical paradigm shift. It will also use logical argumentation to organize trends in web content generation and publication into patterns that can be interpreted and acted upon in a forward-thinking fashion rather than a reactionary one.

Previous issue date: 2017-12-14 / His thesis entitled The intensification of teaching work in federal public higher education: the case
of the Federal University of Goiás (1996 - 2012), is linked to the line of research Labor,
Employment and Unions of the Program Postgraduate by Faculty of Social Sciences, Federal
University of Goiás. The research aims to analyze the intensification of teaching work in federal
public higher education, with a cut in the Federal University of Goiás, between 1996 and 2012,
from two aspects: first after the publication of Law no 9394 of 1996 defining the Guidelines and
Bases of National Education, which increased the school days from 180 to 200, extended the school
calendar in a month, and how this contributed to overwhelm the work of the teacher, especially in
relation to the time to develop their professional activity; according to its activity in the
postgraduate course, that grew a lot in the period delimited by this research project, favoring the
intensification of the teaching work. The research took an approach from the category of totality,
so it had as its starting point the analysis of the structural crisis of the capital system and its
implications for federal public higher education. We then investigate the changes in national
education from the legal reformulation with the Constitution of 1988 and the LDB of 1996 and the
governmental policies resulting from this legal change. Then we investigate the reforms at the
Federal University of Goiás to adapt to this concrete social condition, notably with the expansion
of the institution, both undergraduate and postgraduate. Finally, we talk about the teacher's work
in this context and how it has been intensified. In this last part we did an analysis of the work of
the UFG teacher based on SICAD and, with the analysis of the data, we verified that the teacher is
working more and that, in general, an important part of his work does not appear in the official
records of the university. Thus, we conclude that the work of the higher education teacher of the
federal public network has been intensified, and this process is related to recent transformations in
capitalism, the information revolution, neoliberal politics and legal reforms in education after the
1988 Constitution, as well as with government policies between 1996 and 2012. Among the various
aspects of this intensification of teaching work is the need to have an increasingly voluminous and
rapid academic production, a fact known as academic productivism. In this way, pressed, the
federal public higher education teacher has to produce more and more in the shortest possible time.
This is directly related to the expansion of the UFG and to the increase in the workload of teachers
in teaching and in the orientations and coorientations of TCCs, scientific initiations, dissertations
and theses. It also relates to an increase in workload for academic production, participation in
academic newsstands, and research and extension activities. Finally, the teacher started to spend
more working hours for administration, coordination and representation activities. All this has
contributed and still contributes to the intensification of the teaching work. / Esta tese intitulada A intensificação do trabalho docente no ensino superior público federal: o
caso da Universidade Federal de Goiás (1996 - 2012), se vincula a linha de pesquisa Trabalho,
Emprego e Sindicatos do Programa de Pós-graduação da Faculdade de Ciências Sociais da
Universidade Federal de Goiás. A pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar a intensificação do
trabalho docente no ensino superior público federal, com recorte na Universidade Federal de
Goiás, entre 1996 e 2012, a partir de duas vertentes: primeiro após a publicação da Lei de no
9394 de 1996 definindo as Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional, que, aumentando os dias
letivos de 180 para 200, estendeu o calendário escolar em um mês, e como isso contribuiu
para sobrecarregar o trabalho do professor, principalmente em relação ao tempo para
desenvolver a sua atividade profissional; segundo a sua atividade na pós-graduação, que
cresceu muito no período delimitado por este projeto de pesquisa, favorecendo a intensificação
do trabalho docente. A pesquisa fez uma abordagem a partir da categoria da totalidade, por
isso teve como ponto de partida a análise da crise estrutural do sistema do capital e suas
implicações para a educação superior pública federal. Depois investigamos as mudanças na
educação nacional a partir da reformulação jurídica com a Constituição de 1988 e com a LDB
de 1996 e as políticas governamentais decorrentes dessa mudança legal. Depois investigamos
as reformas na Universidade Federal de Goiás para se adequar a essa condição social concreta,
notadamente com a expansão da instituição, tanto na graduação quanto na pós-graduação.
Por fim, falamos do trabalho do professor nesse contexto e como ele foi intensificado. Nessa
última parte fizemos uma análise do trabalho do docente da UFG com base no SICAD e, com
a análise dos dados comprovamos que o professor está trabalhando mais e em que, geral,
uma parte importante do seu trabalho não aparece nos registros oficiais da universidade.
Assim, concluímos que o trabalho do professor do ensino superior da rede pública federal foi
intensificado, estando esse processo relacionado com as transformações recentes no
capitalismo, com a revolução informacional, com a política neoliberal e com as reformas
jurídicas na educação após a Constituição de 1988, bem como com as políticas
governamentais entre 1996 e 2012. Dentre os vários aspectos dessa intensificação do trabalho
docente, está a necessidade de se ter uma produção acadêmica cada vez mais volumosa e
rápida, fato conhecido como produtivismo acadêmico. Dessa maneira, pressionado, o
professor do ensino superior público federal tem que produzir cada vez mais e em menor
espaço de tempo possível. Isso tem relação direta com a expansão da UFG e com o aumento
da carga horária de trabalho do docente no ensino e nas orientações e coorientações dos
TCCs, das iniciações científicas, das dissertações e das teses. Também tem relação com
aumento em carga horária para a produção acadêmica, para a participação em bancas
acadêmicas e para as atividades de pesquisa e de extensão. Por fim, o professor passou a
dispender mais horas de trabalho para as atividades de administração, coordenação e
representação. Tudo isso contribuiu e ainda contribui para intensificação do trabalho docente.

Éthéréalisation : amorces d'une contre-histoireThibault, Ghislain 10 1900 (has links)
Cette thèse est une enquête épistémologique qui s’interroge sur la persistance de « l’éther » dans le champ de la technologie. De façon générale, le mot « éther » évoque un modèle conceptuel de la physique pré-einsteinienne, celui d’un milieu invisible permettant la propagation de la lumière et des ondes électromagnétiques. Or, ce n’est là qu’une des figures de l’éther. Dans plusieurs mythologies et cosmogonies anciennes, le nom « éther » désignait le feu originel contenu dans les plus hautes régions célestes. Aristote nommait « éther », par exemple, le « cinquième être », ou « cinquième élément ». La chimie a aussi sa propre figure de l’éther où il donne son nom à un composé chimique, le C4H10O, qui a été utilisé comme premier anesthésiant général à la fin du XIXe siècle. L’apparition soutenue dans l’histoire de ces figures disparates de l’éther, qui a priori ne semblent pas entretenir de relation entre elles, est pour nous la marque de la persistance de l’éther. Nous défendons ici l’argument selon lequel cette persistance ne se résume pas à la constance de l’attribution d’un mot ou d’un nom à différents phénomènes dans l’histoire, mais à l’actualisation d’une même signature, éthérogène. À l’invitation d’Agamben et en nous inspirant des travaux de Nietzsche et Foucault sur l’histoire-généalogie et ceux de Derrida sur la déconstruction, notre thèse amorce une enquête historique motivée par un approfondissement d’une telle théorisation de la signature. Pour y parvenir, nous proposons de placer l’éther, ou plutôt la signature-éther, au cœur de différentes enquêtes historiques préoccupées par le problème de la technologie. En abordant sous cet angle des enjeux disparates – la légitimation des savoirs narratifs, la suspension des sens, la pseudoscience et la magie, les révolutions de l’information, l’obsession pour le sans-fil, l’économie du corps, la virtualisation de la communication, etc. –, nous proposons dans cette thèse autant d’amorces pour une histoire autre, une contre-histoire. / This dissertation stands as an epistemological inquiry into the persistence of the notion of ether within technology’s discursive field. Most often, the word “ether” is understood as a conceptual model in pre-einsteinian physics which designates the medium responsible for the propagation of electromagnetic waves and light. However, this proves to be only one of the many figures of ether. In multiple mythologies and cosmogonies, ether was also the name employed to refer to a sublime and pure fire filling the highest spaces of the universe. Aristotle, for example, named “ether” what he considered to be the “fifth being,” or the “fifth element.” Chemistry also makes use of ether, where the name denominates the compound C4H10O, used as the first general anaesthetic agent at the end of the nineteenth century. From our point of view, the sustained occurrences of ether in these different figures, so disparate indeed that they appear unrelated, marks the manifestation of its persistence. We argue that this persistence should not be narrowed down to a constant attribution of a “word” or a “name” to several historical phenomenons, but rather should be viewed as the actualization of a same etherogeneous “signature.” Responding to an invitation by Italian philosopher Agamben, and building on Nietzsche’s and Foucault’s history-genealogy as well as on Derrida’s deconstruction, our dissertation proposes an historical program oriented towards a theorization of the signature. To do so, we suggest locating the ether, or rather the ether-signature, at the heart of several historical inquiries concerned with the contemporary problem with technology. Approaching some of theses issues –the legitimating of narrative knowledge, the suspension of the senses, pseudoscience and mysticism, information and industrial revolutions, wireless obsessions, body and corporeality, virtualization of communication, etc. –, our dissertation aims at locating and articulating as many baits towards an-other history, a counter-history.

資訊時代與外交 / Diplomacy in Information Age吳竹君, Wu, Chu-Chun Unknown Date (has links)
西元1453年古騰堡發明活字印刷術開啟了資訊革命,而各項資訊傳播科技的相繼發明,更將人類歷史帶入資訊時代。資訊傳播科技超越時空障礙的特質使得人們可以穿越國家疆界線進行交流,促成了全球化的產生,為資訊時代無法阻擋的一股潮流。各項訊息能夠快速且自由的流通,此種現象對國際社會的不同層次均造成衝擊,舉凡國際議題、國家間交往、國家主權乃至於個人生活的各個方面,無一不受到資訊傳播科技大幅發展而面臨轉變。資訊為外交最重要的元素,是外交工作的血肉。先進資訊傳播科技改變了資訊傳遞與接收的特性與方式,對外交體制必定造成相當程度的影響。
資訊傳播科技的發展到了近20年,可說是以電腦科技與網際網路技術為重心。電腦網路等資訊傳播科技應用於國家政治造就了電子民主,若與國家外交相結合便產生「虛擬外交」。資訊為外交不可或缺的內涵,則外交部門及外交人員應用先進資訊傳播科技於其工作中便有其必要性,而虛擬外交的出現實乃反映出資訊時代的需要。
資訊傳播科技在美國萌芽,美國亦是世上最早體認到資訊時代對外交體制造成種種挑戰而展開熱烈討論的國家。自1993年起,美國政府及學術機構便展開一連串的研究活動,目的在探尋資訊時代外交體制的因應之道。美國政府亦積極從事外交再造工程,《1998外交事務改革與重組法》的頒佈與生效,為美國改革實踐的第一步,而美國的作法亦可成為其他國家學習效法的指標。
