The emergence of the 4th industrial revolution has democratized the use of cyber-physical systems (CPS) in the maritime sector. On board, they are characterized by various interdependent components that control critical physical operations through digital commands. An anomaly targeting one of these systems can benefit from this characteristic to easily propagate in the whole ship, and generate irreversible consequences. Firstly, we have considered the problem of dependencies at the global scale of the ship to characterize the importance of the dependencies associated with CPS. Then, an innovative 3-layer graph model (numerical, physical, and system variables) has been formulated to allow the CPS structural analysis. Various anomaly detection metrics, based on quality analysis, are integrated to initiate propagation assessment processes in a maritime CPS. This solution has been tested on two maritime CPS responsible for critical functions: propulsion and water distribution. Many perspectives emerge from this work to provide a global answer to ship anomalies propagation problems. ; L'émergence de la 4ème révolution industrielle a fortement démocratisé l'utilisation de systèmes cyber-physiques (Cyber Physical System (CPS)) dans le secteur maritime. À bord, ils se caractérisent par divers composants interdépendants qui assurent le contrôle d'opérations physiques critiques à partir de commandes numériques. Une anomalie visant l'un de ces systèmes peut profiter de cette caractéristique pour se propager dans l'ensemble du navire, et engendrer des conséquences irréversibles. Premièrement, nous avons considéré la problématique des dépendances à l'échelle globale du navire pour caractériser l'importance de celles associées aux CPS. Ensuite, un modèle innovant de graphe 3-couches (numérique, physique, et variables système) a été formulé pour fournir une analyse structurelle du CPS. Diverses métriques de détection d'anomalies, basées sur l'analyse de la qualité, y sont intégrées pour amorcer les processus d'évaluation de la ...

South African higher education (HE) cannot be compared to any other country's HE systems due to the unique political landscape and structural narrative that it has undergone. Subsequent to the reorganisation of HEIs in 2004, a number of complexities arose. These included accessibility to education across race and the alignment of the South African HEIs to global pedagogic benchmarks. With the changing political landscape, transformations within higher education, socio economic inequities and changes in the workplace, researchers failed to cognize the impact of these factors on graduate employability. Changing graduate attributes to align with a decolonised curriculum and Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) workspaces were transiently underway when COVID-19 set a new narrative for the future of employability. This paper seeks to identify the impact of workplace changes and its direct influence on successful graduate employment and integration into the HE curriculum. The work environment has cursorily moved from 4IR to an advanced stage of the 4IR, where there is a full emphasis on digitisation, non-localised workspaces and is an ostensible playground for digital natives (Generation Z). This paper provides a systematic review of literature in the South African HE contexts that pertains to graduate attributes for employability within the workplace. The adoption of malleable secondary data will allow for an understanding of the relationship between changing workplace environments and expectations from graduates. This correlation is directly linked to graduate attributes which students need to comply with from year one. The paper will provide context to changes which are required for the future success of graduates, and whether graduate attributes are adequate preparation for employability. A clinical model is recommended with an intervention to manage the risk factors of decolonisation of curriculum, the 4IR and multi-generational workplace and responses to COVID-19.

Abstract. The intensive promotion of a healthy lifestyle in most countries of the world and the current situation with the global spread of viral and other infectious diseases clearly have the effect of changing patterns of human behavior. The study is based on the formation of appropriate mechanisms for managing the development of areas in the era of the fourth industrial revolution amid the globalization and the emergence of the digital economy. The real efficiency and social role of medical institutions can be ensured by increasing the availability of services to the population of complex areas, taking into account certain institutional aspects of this area. The practical importance of the achieved results is determined by the advantages of scaling the model of development of mechanisms that guide the development of health care and rehabilitation in the context of digitalization. The presented material will help to improve the quality of management decisions made by the heads of organizations from rehabilitation centers and regulatory authorities. This mechanism also helps to better meet the needs of new stakeholder groups, including customers, governments, manufacturers and healthcare professionals. The use of neo-modern technologies significantly enriches the opportunities for professionals around the world. The low price of mobile applications and personal electronic devices allows us to talk about the potential use of such comprehensive "IT-medical" solutions, even in rural and sparsely populated areas. This area is only at the initial stage of research, which will require scientists to obtain additional qualifications, and physicians the ability to work with modern high-tech solutions that are widely available to young people and all patients. Systematic research in this area is impossible without the use of big data processing technologies, as well as without a personalized approach to each patient. Based on the integrated use of the diagnostic potential of modern technologies, it is advisable to ...

Com a crescente democratização do acesso à internet, principalmente durante o período da pandemia do Covid-19, que causou uma verdadeira revolução nos processos de ensino-aprendizagem, forçando os professores a adotarem elementos muitas vezes utilizados apenas em cursos no formato de Ensino a Distância (EAD), tornou-se cada vez mais claro que o Ensino Presencial Tradicional está cada dia mais dependente das novas tecnologias, este artigo parte de um questionamento básico enfrentado durante as aulas remotas de Literatura para as turmas do 2º ano do Ensino Médio, da Escola Técnica Estadual Professor Francisco Jonas Feitosa Costa, em Arcoverde/PE, durante o período da pandemia: Quais as possibilidades oferecidas pelos recursos do YouTube, para seu uso como ferramenta de letramento literário no Ensino Médio e os seus limites na prática pedagógica? Desse modo o presente estudo teve como objetivo final estabelecer a possibilidade de utilização das novas mídias digitais a favor e contra a aprendizagem, superando a dicotomia "tecnologia x metodologia" a partir das experiências vivenciadas pelo professor durante a execução da Atividade Proposta com as turmas do 2º ano de Língua Portuguesa. ; With the growing democratization of internet access, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic period, which caused a real revolution in teaching-learning processes, forcing teachers to adopt elements often used only in courses in the Distance Learning format , it has become increasingly clear that Traditional Face-to-Face Education is increasingly dependent on new technologies, this article starts from a basic question faced during remote Literature classes for 2nd year high school classes at the State Technical School Professor Francisco Jonas Feitosa Costa, in Arcoverde/PE, during the pandemic period: What are the possibilities offered by YouTube resources for its use as a literary literacy tool in High School and its limits in pedagogical practice? Thus, the present study aimed to establish the possibility of using new digital ...

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.

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).

This paper focuses on the main effects that the technological revolution has been projecting on labour relations, especially in the Spanish labour market, characterized, as it is known, by its high unemployment level. From a quantitative perspective, the study points out the negative effects that the proliferation of new technologies may have on employment in our country. This is mainly due to the fact that our labour market has not yet recovered from the last economic recession and to the significant deficits in digital skills of Spanish population. From a qualitative perspective, the study analyzes the impact that the well- known effects of job polarization and the transformation of the classic figures of employer and worker can have on the Spanish model of labour relations. Lastly, the study devotes a final part to highlight the important social protection challenges that technological unemployment will pose. To this end, some of the best-known proposals in this area (basic income for citizenship, reduction of working time and robots taxation or social contribution) are critically analyzed and concrete measures for legislative action are suggested. ; El presente estudio discurre en torno a los principales efectos que la revolución tecnológica viene proyectando sobre las relaciones de trabajo deteniéndose especialmente en su incidencia en el mercado de trabajo español caracterizado, como se sabe, por su alto nivel de desempleo. Desde una perspectiva cuantitativa, el estudio apunta los efectos negativos que sobre el empleo puede tener en nuestro país la proliferación de las nuevas tecnologías. Ello se debe fundamentalmente a que nuestro mercado de trabajo todavía no se ha recuperado de la última recesión económica y a los importantes déficits en competencias digitales de nuestra población. Desde una perspectiva, cualitativa el estudio analiza el impacto que en el modelo español de relaciones laborales pueden tener los conocidos efectos de la polarización de los trabajos y la transformación de las figuras clásicas de empleador y trabajador. En último lugar, el estudio dedica una última parte a poner de relieve los importantes retos de protección social que va a plantear el desempleo tecnológico. A tal efecto, se analizan críticamente algunas de las propuestas más conocidas en este ámbito (renta básica de ciudadanía, reducción del tiempo de trabajo e imposición fiscal a los robots o cotización social por los mismos) y sugiere concretas medidas de acción legislativa. ; El presente estudio discurre en torno a los principales efectos que la revolución tecnológica viene proyectando sobre las relaciones de trabajo deteniéndose especialmente en su incidencia en el mercado de trabajo español caracterizado, como se sabe, por su alto nivel de desempleo.

The article states that the texts and media that are circulating on the Internet are open verbal units in which readers who are part of virtual communities such as Goodreads and Librotea, make hyper-interpretations on fan-fic sites, and create content on booktube. It introduces the silent revolution of the book in which readers are the protagonists, who in the traditional ecosystem of the book were regarded as distant, blurred subjects. Now, due essentially to the internet and social networks, they have gained more protagonism and have imposed themselves over the authors, and even over the texts. In this sense, the reading democratization, the emergence of other text types that have emerged with the Internet and social networks, the relations between readers and authors, and the "betrayal of the text" are the signs of the dizzying and noisy change that began with the new digital paradigm at the beginning of the 21st century. This anarchic democratization, without observance of canons or academic rules, manipulated in some cases, provides new challenges for literacy and for those who are teachers, publishers and reading mediators. ; El artículo señala que los textos y medios que circulan por intenet son unidades verbales abiertas en las que irrumpen lectores que hacen parte de comunidades virtuales como Goodreads y Librotea, hacen hiperinterpretaciones en sitios fan-fic, y crean contenido en booktube.

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.

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
