The use of Industry 4.0 tools has been positioning itself in the current environment as a global competition for technological development, innovation and learning that forces governments, industries and educational institutions to reconfigure the way of conceiving realities and solutions for the communities where they practice. influence. Rural educational institutions do not have the necessary resources to allow students and teachers access to tools to execute didactic strategies that solve real problems and favor the development of personal and specific skills in science, engineering and technology. The aim is to characterize some of the 4.0 technologies available for rural teaching and learning, attending to the needs of the community from disruptive thinking under an exploratory, descriptive and field methodological approach in five rural educational institutions in the municipality of Yopal, addressed under the principles of APB Problem-Based Learning by developing meaningful learning in the student and promoting autonomy, the development of digital, programming, robotics and computer-aided design competencies with the conception of viable prototypes and that identify engineering-specific skills in the students. As a result of the exercise, from the identification of community needs to the design of prototypes, the development of necessary competencies in this fourth industrial revolution is exposed, strengthening: creative skills, critical thinking, adaptation to change, collaborative work, communication and respect for others, as well as a real first vocational approach. ; El uso de herramientas de la industria 4.0 viene posicionándose en el entorno actual como una competencia global de desarrollo tecnológico, de innovación y de aprendizaje que obliga a gobiernos, industrias, e instituciones educativas a reconfigurar la manera de concebir realidades y soluciones para las comunidades donde ejercen influencia. Las instituciones educativas rurales, no cuentan con los recursos necesarios que permitan a ...

Covid 19 as a new virus has had an impact in the field of education. The Indonesian government is closing schools to reduce contact in order to save people's lives. The learning process is carried out at home through online learning / e-learning. This is in line with technological advances in the 4.0 industrial revolution. Education is required to improve quality with the aim of improving the quality of Indonesian human resources. IKIP Budi Utomo Malang helps to make government programs a success by providing affordable and quality education. This study aims to determine (1) the application of e-learning and (2) the difficulty factor of learning from conventional learning to e-learning. This research includes qualitative research with phenomenological methods. The research subjects were students of class 2017 and lecturers of the History and Sociology Education Study Program.The research location is at IKIP Budi Utomo. The research instrument was an open questionnaire and structured interviews. The data analysis technique uses Seiddel's inductive qualitative data analysis technique. The results showed that the implementation of e-learning learning for History and Sociology Education study program lecturers was carried out with a digital technology learning management system device such as Siakad IKIP Budi Utomo Malang, google classroom, zoom meeting, youtube, video conference, telephone or live chat, edmodo and WhatsApp. The e-learning learning tools is used to provide features that simplify the learning process. Meanwhile, the difficulty factor experienced by the lecturer was that the lecturer had difficulty seeing the effectiveness of students in the learning process, such as the difficulty of measuring the level of student understanding, and not all lecturers understood about online learning tools. Meanwhile,the students' difficulties are the absence or lack of internet signal, lack of understanding of information technology leading to difficulty in downloading the learning tools, the burden of using quotas and the difference in atmosphere between on-line learning and face-to-face learning.

The transfer of technology in international trade often occurs because it is needed for economic development. IPR regulation is important to regulate technology transfer so that it runs well. The transfer of technology is not only the transfer of paten, but also related to other fields of IPR. It takes legal istitution which provide protection to the owner of the technology so that the parties do not hesitate exclusive rights the user's side legally by unlicensed. In the main principles of technology transfer contract that applies is the principle of freedom of contract, but this principle can not apply absolutely because in fact the owner and the technology recipient does not have ked unot balanced, thus causing the contents of the contract to burden one of the parties. Patent Act Number 13 of 2016 regulates several matters that avoid technology transfer that is detrimental to Indonesia. In the technology transfer contract there are things that need to be considered by the recipient of the technology so as not to be burdened by an unbalanced obligation, namely matters relating to tie in clause and grant back clause . For the purpose of the government is expected to establish guidelines so that the contents of the contract were onerous can be avoided.Trade between countries has become a necessity in the era of trade that has a global character . In era digital technology or industrial revolution 4.0 era that is to be most important . Ther are many legal relationship between the owner and the technology recipient that each taste from different countries. Indonesia also needs technology from foreign parties to improve national technology and to further improve economic progress . To that should be examined urgency and arrangements regarding the role of Intellectual Property Rights for the realization of the transfer of technology occurs because the agreement would not of the agreement

Public policy and practice, and policy research, relies on diverse forms and types of information and communication, both traditional publications and a myriad of other documents and resources including reports, briefings, legislation, discussion papers, submissions and evaluations and much more. This is sometimes referred to as 'grey literature', a collective term for the wide range of publications produced and published directly by organisations, either in print or digitally, outside of the commercial or scholarly publishing industry. In the digital era grey literature has proliferated, and has become a key tool in influencing public debate and in providing an evidence-base for public policy and practice. Despite its ubiquity and influence, grey literature's role is often overlooked as a publishing phenomenon, ignored both in scholarly research on media and communications and in the debate on the changing nature of open access and academic publishing. This paper looks at the production of grey literature for public policy and practice where the changes enabled by computers and the internet are causing a hidden revolution in the dissemination of knowledge and evidence. It explores the production, dissemination and management of publications by organizations, their nature, purpose and value, and investigates the benefits and the challenges of publishing outside of the commercial or scholarly publishing enterprises. The paper provides estimates of the economic value of grey literature based on online surveys and valuations and considers the costs and benefits of self-publishing by organisations which provides both a dynamic, flexible and responsive publishing system and one in which link rot, duplication and highly varying standards abound. The findings are part of a broader research project looking at role and value of grey literature for policy and practice including consumption, production and collection. It will be of interest to a wide range of policy makers and practitioners as well as academics working in media and communications, public administration and library and information management.

PurposeThe world is now in an era of condensed space and time in which cultural dynamics, including cultural conflict, are increasingly mediated by powerful technologies that hold the potential to accelerate change and create new opportunities. Conversely, these same powerful technologies, and the denial thereof, are used to sustain oppressive conditions and wage war for ideological (e.g. religion and politics) and material purposes (e.g. water, oil, and food). From the power of networking, in addition to the tyranny of isolation, information and communication technologies (ICTs) hold the potential for transformative change, as well as to maintain status quo through oppression and domination. The purpose of this paper is to create a model that attempts to delineate the role of ICTs in catalyzing a peaceful and democratic conflict transformation, while using a snapshot of the Egyptian Revolution of 2011; also to hypothesize that the adoption of modern digital technologies has created a mechanism for protests to achieve their ends through relatively peaceful mechanisms.Design/methodology/approachThis analysis explores the use of ICTs in the protest process, using a snapshot of the Egyptian protests of 2011. The authors test a model of ICTs for peace and conflict transformation.FindingsIt is found that, in essence, it effectively describes nuances of the modern protest process. However, the researchers propose a modified explanatory model of how ICTs are used, and can be used, for political mobilization on the road toward sustainable peace.Research limitations/implicationsEvery protest and every regime change is unique. The model used in this case needs to be tested further in other instances.Social implicationsThis model could be used to analyze other protests and uprising to understand an array of stakeholders' needs.Originality/valueAnalyzing those events that are fundamentally being changed through the use of modern technology is a valuable contribution to the field.

We present a neuromorphic cortical-layer processing microchip for address event representation (AER) spike-based processing systems. The microchip computes 2-D convolutions of video information represented in AER format in real time. AER, as opposed to conventional frame-based video representation, describes visual information as a sequence of events or spikes in a way similar to biological brains. This format allows for fast information identification and processing, without waiting to process complete image frames. The neuromorphic cortical-layer processing microchip presented in this paper computes convolutions of programmable kernels over the AER visual input information flow. It not only computes convolutions but also allows for a programmable forgetting rate, which in turn allows for a bio-inspired coincidence detection processing. Kernels are programmable and can be of arbitrary shape and arbitrary size of up to 32 32 pixels. The convolution processor operates on a pixel array of size 32 32, but can process an input space of up to 128 128 pixels. Larger pixel arrays can be directly processed by tiling arrays of chips. The chip receives and generates data in AER format, which is asynchronous and digital. However, its internal operation is based on analog low-current circuit techniques. The paper describes the architecture of the chip and circuits used for the pixels, including calibration techniques to overcome mismatch. Extensive experimental results are provided, describing pixel operation and calibration, convolution processing with and without forgetting, and high-speed recognition experiments like discriminating rotating propellers of different shape rotating at speeds of up to 5000 revolutions per second. ; This work was supported by Spanish Research under Grant TIC2003-08164-C03-01 (SAMANTA) and by the European Union under EU Grant IST-2001-34124 (CAVIAR).

Rapid growth since independence has enabled Malaysia to become an upper middle-income country. It boasts a gross national income per capita of close to $11,000, with the share of households living below the national poverty line at less than 1%. From an economy dominated by the international trade of raw natural resources, Malaysia has diversified its exports to include electrical appliances, electronic parts and components, palm oil, and natural gas. More recent efforts have focused on improving competitiveness. The country ranked 27th in the Global Competitiveness Index for 2019. In the same report for 2020, Malaysia was among the top 10 advanced countries on digital transformation.

Cyber Space - a term coined by Novelist William Gibson - denotes a place without physical walls or even physical dimensions has connected the globe in the shortest span of time to the extent no technology has done before in human history. It will be news to many that Internet - the nervous system of the body called cyber space is almost three decades old. Its origins in 1968 and 1969 with the initiative of the British Physical Laboratories and with the United States military project called the Advanced Research Projects Agency. The basic idea of the project was to connect the defence network computers to safeguard it from attacks on the physical telephone network. The leading Universities which assisted the network later formed a sister network on the same lines, which was sponsored by the National Science Foundation, called as the NSFnet. The students involved in such development had a closed user group, as the navigation of such network is a complicated one and needed special skills. It was only in 1993, it became a tool of the masses with the invention of a browser called "Mosaic". This browser is a simple tool, which allowed even those who did not have computer knowledge to share information. Today the Internet connects almost 200 million people- people from 195 countries-approximately 3% of the world population and back home the connectivity is estimated to grow around 125% annually over the next three years. The moot point is what does it mean to people? Can Internet provide water or food or will it eradicate AIDS? Will it stop crime or wars? Do we need legislations to promote the phenomenon or we need legislations to control and regulate it? Or simply it should be let off without any legislations? The answers are much complex than the cyber revolution itself. For optimists the cyber revolution holds a new path of prosperity, connectivity, exchange of information, trade and business and for those who are skeptical it will create digital divide with the division of knows and know-nots slicing through the haves and have-nots. If these are extreme viewpoints there is a huge shade of gray area in which cyber space operates and in such polarization of views emerges the cyber jurisprudence, which is chasing the speeding technology on the information highway to formulate the traffic regulations. As the traffic systems are varied and chaotic depending on the country you drive, the same is true for the cyber laws of the respective environment you operate in. The following chapter will deal with the questions of how to define cyber space? What relevance or impact it has on the subject of 'Law'? Do we need to formulate and study a new segment called 'cyber laws'? If so what will be the basic ingredients of such study?

Building the American Republic combines centuries of perspectives and voices into a fluid narrative of the United States. Throughout their respective volumes, Harry L. Watson and Jane Dailey take care to integrate varied scholarly perspectives and work to engage a diverse readership by addressing what we all share: membership in a democratic republic, with joint claims on its self-governing tradition. It will be one of the first peer-reviewed American history textbooks to be offered completely free in digital form. Visit buildingtheamericanrepublic.org for more information. The American nation came apart in a violent civil war less than a century after ratification of the Constitution. When it was reborn five years later, both the republic and its Constitution were transformed. Volume 2 opens as America struggles to regain its footing, reeling from a presidential assassination and facing massive economic growth, rapid demographic change, and combustive politics. The next century and a half saw the United States enter and then dominate the world stage, even as the country struggled to live up to its own principles of liberty, justice, and equality. Volume 2 of Building the American Republic takes the reader from the Gilded Age to the present, as the nation becomes an imperial power, rethinks the Constitution, witnesses the rise of powerful new technologies, and navigates an always-shifting cultural landscape shaped by an increasingly diverse population. Ending with the 2016 election, this volume provides a needed reminder that the future of the American republic depends on a citizenry that understands—and can learn from—its history.

The history of leisure time, from the earliest societies to the work-from-home eraFree time, one of life's most precious things, often feels unfulfilling. But why? And how did leisure activities transition from strolling in the park for hours to "doomscrolling" on social media for thirty minutes?Today, despite the promise of modern industrialization, many people experience both a scarcity of free time and a disappointment in it. Free Time offers a broad historical explanation of why our affluent society does not afford more time away from work and why that time is often unsatisfying. Gary S. Cross explores the cultural, social, economic, and political history, especially of the past 250 years to understand the roots of our conceptions of free time and its use. By the end of the nineteenth century, a common expectation was that industrial innovations would lead to a progressive reduction of work time and a subsequent rise in free time devoted to self-development and social engagement. However, despite significant changes in the early twentieth century, both goals were frustrated, thus leading to the contemporary dilemma.Cross touches on leisure of all kinds, from peasant festivals and aristocratic pleasure gardens to amusement parks, movie theaters and organized sports to internet surfing, and even the use of alcohol and drugs. This wide-ranging cultural and social history explores the industrial-era origins of our modern obsession with work and productivity, but also the historical efforts to liberate time from work and cultivate free time for culture. Insightful and informative, this book is sure to help you make sense of your own relationship to free time

This report maps the African landscape of Open Science – with a focus on Open Data as a sub-set of Open Science. Data to inform the landscape study were collected through a variety of methods, including surveys, desk research, engagement with a community of practice, networking with stakeholders, participation in conferences, case study presentations, and workshops hosted. Although the majority of African countries (35 of 54) demonstrates commitment to science through its investment in research and development (R&D), academies of science, ministries of science and technology, policies, recognition of research, and participation in the Science Granting Councils Initiative (SGCI), the following countries demonstrate the highest commitment and political willingness to invest in science: Botswana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda. In addition to existing policies in Science, Technology and Innovation (STI), the following countries have made progress towards Open Data policies: Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, South Africa and Uganda. Only two African countries (Kenya and South Africa) at this stage contribute 0.8% of its GDP (Gross Domestic Product) to R&D (Research and Development), which is the closest to the AU's (African Union's) suggested 1%. Countries such as Lesotho and Madagascar ranked as 0%, while the R&D expenditure for 24 African countries is unknown. In addition to this, science globally has become fully dependent on stable ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) infrastructure, which includes connectivity/bandwidth, high performance computing facilities and data services. This is especially applicable since countries globally are finding themselves in the midst of the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR), which is not only "about" data, but which "is" data. According to an article by Alan Marcus (2015) (Senior Director, Head of Information Technology and Telecommunications Industries, World Economic Forum), "At its core, data represents a post-industrial opportunity. Its uses have unprecedented complexity, velocity and global reach. As digital communications become ubiquitous, data will rule in a world where nearly everyone and everything is connected in real time. That will require a highly reliable, secure and available infrastructure at its core, and innovation at the edge." Every industry is affected as part of this revolution – also science. An important component of the digital transformation is "trust" – people must be able to trust that governments and all other industries (including the science sector), adequately handle and protect their data. This requires accountability on a global level, and digital industries must embrace the change and go for a higher standard of protection. "This will reassure consumers and citizens, benefitting the whole digital economy", says Marcus. A stable and secure information and communication technologies (ICT) infrastructure – currently provided by the National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) – is key to advance collaboration in science. The AfricaConnect project (AfricaConnect (2012–2014) and AfricaConnect 2 (2016–2018)) through establishing connectivity between National Research and Education Networks (NRENs), is planning to roll out AfricaConnect 3 by the end of 2019. The concern however is that selected African governments (with the exception of a few countries such as South Africa, Mozambique, Ethiopia and others) have low awareness of the impact the Internet has today on all societal levels, how much ICT (and the 4th Industrial Revolution) have affected research, and the added value an NREN can bring to higher education and research in addressing the respective needs, which is far more complex than simply providing connectivity. Apart from more commitment and investment in R&D, African governments – to become and remain part of the 4th Industrial Revolution – have no option other than to acknowledge and commit to the role NRENs play in advancing science towards addressing the SDG (Sustainable Development Goals). For successful collaboration and direction, it is fundamental that policies within one country are aligned with one another. Alignment on continental level is crucial for the future Pan-African African Open Science Platform to be successful. Both the HIPSSA ((Harmonization of ICT Policies in Sub-Saharan Africa) project and WATRA (the West Africa Telecommunications Regulators Assembly), have made progress towards the regulation of the telecom sector, and in particular of bottlenecks which curb the development of competition among ISPs. A study under HIPSSA identified potential bottlenecks in access at an affordable price to the international capacity of submarine cables and suggested means and tools used by regulators to remedy them. Work on the recommended measures and making them operational continues in collaboration with WATRA. In addition to sufficient bandwidth and connectivity, high-performance computing facilities and services in support of data sharing are also required. The South African National Integrated Cyberinfrastructure System (NICIS) has made great progress in planning and setting up a cyberinfrastructure ecosystem in support of collaborative science and data sharing. The regional Southern African Development Community (SADC) Cyber-infrastructure Framework provides a valuable roadmap towards high-speed Internet, developing human capacity and skills in ICT technologies, high-performance computing and more. The following countries have been identified as having high-performance computing facilities, some as a result of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) partnership: Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Mauritius, Namibia, South Africa, Tunisia, and Zambia. More and more NRENs – especially the Level 6 NRENs (Algeria, Egypt, Kenya, South Africa, and recently Zambia) – are exploring offering additional services; also in support of data sharing and transfer. The following NRENs already allow for running data-intensive applications and sharing of high-end computing assets, bio-modelling and computation on high-performance/supercomputers: KENET (Kenya), TENET (South Africa), RENU (Uganda), ZAMREN (Zambia), EUN (Egypt) and ARN (Algeria). Fifteen higher education training institutions from eight African countries (Botswana, Benin, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, Sudan, and Tanzania) have been identified as offering formal courses on data science. In addition to formal degrees, a number of international short courses have been developed and free international online courses are also available as an option to build capacity and integrate as part of curricula. The small number of higher education or research intensive institutions offering data science is however insufficient, and there is a desperate need for more training in data science. The CODATA-RDA Schools of Research Data Science aim at addressing the continental need for foundational data skills across all disciplines, along with training conducted by The Carpentries programme (specifically Data Carpentry 10). Thus far, CODATA-RDA schools in collaboration with AOSP, integrating content from Data Carpentry, were presented in Rwanda (in 2018), and during 17-29 June 2019, in Ethiopia. Awareness regarding Open Science (including Open Data) is evident through the 12 Open Science-related Open Access/Open Data/Open Science declarations and agreements endorsed or signed by African governments; 200 Open Access journals from Africa registered on the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ); 174 Open Access institutional research repositories registered on openDOAR (Directory of Open Access Repositories); 33 Open Access/Open Science policies registered on ROARMAP (Registry of Open Access Repository Mandates and Policies); 24 data repositories registered with the Registry of Data Repositories (re3data.org) (although the pilot project identified 66 research data repositories); and one data repository assigned the CoreTrustSeal. Although this is a start, far more needs to be done to align African data curation and research practices with global standards. Funding to conduct research remains a challenge. African researchers mostly fund their own research, and there are little incentives for them to make their research and accompanying data sets openly accessible. Funding and peer recognition, along with an enabling research environment conducive for research, are regarded as major incentives. The landscape report concludes with a number of concerns towards sharing research data openly, as well as challenges in terms of Open Data policy, ICT infrastructure supportive of data sharing, capacity building, lack of skills, and the need for incentives. Although great progress has been made in terms of Open Science and Open Data practices, more awareness needs to be created and further advocacy efforts are required for buy-in from African governments. A federated African Open Science Platform (AOSP) will not only encourage more collaboration among researchers in addressing the SDGs, but it will also benefit the many stakeholders identified as part of the pilot phase. The time is now, for governments in Africa, to acknowledge the important role of science in general, but specifically Open Science and Open Data, through developing and aligning the relevant policies, investing in an ICT infrastructure conducive for data sharing through committing funding to making NRENs financially sustainable, incentivising open research practices by scientists, and creating opportunities for more scientists and stakeholders across all disciplines to be trained in data management. ; Department of Science & Innovation (DSI); National Research Foundation (NRF)

The 2013 NordMedia conference in Oslo marked the 40 years that had passed since the very first Nordic media conference. To acknowledge this 40-year anniversary, it made sense to have a conference theme that dealt with a major and important topic: Defending Democracy. Nordic and Global Diversities in Media and Journalism. Focusing on the relationship between journalism, other media practices and democracy, the plenary sessions raised questions such as: What roles do media and journalism play in democratization processes and what roles should they play? How does the increasingly complex and omnipresent media field affect conditions for freedom of speech? This special issue contains the keynote speeches of Natalie Fenton, Stephen Ward and Ib Bondebjerg. A number of the conference papers have been revised and edited to become articles. Together, the articles presented should give the reader an idea of the breadth and depth of current Nordic scholarship in the area.
