Do today's youth have more opportunities than their parents? As they build their own social and digital networks, does that offer new routes to learning and friendship? How do they navigate the ...meaning of education in a digitally connected but fiercely competitive, highly individualized world?
Based upon fieldwork at an ordinary London school,The Classexamines young people's experiences of growing up and learning in a digital world. In this original and engaging study, Livingstone and Sefton-Green explore youth values, teenagers' perspectives on their futures, and their tactics for facing the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. The authors follow the students as they move across their different social worlds-in school, at home, and with their friends, engaging in a range of activities from video games to drama clubs and music lessons. By portraying the texture of the students' everyday lives,The Classseeks to understand how the structures of social class and cultural capital shape the development of personal interests, relationships and autonomy. Providing insights into how young people's social, digital, and learning networks enable or disempower them, Livingstone and Sefton-Green reveal that the experience of disconnections and blocked pathways is often more common than that of connections and new opportunities.
Following recently published EAU Policy on Live Surgical Events (LSE's) it is assured that live surgery will be ongoing at conferences in the immediate future. However, the panel reached >80% ...consensus view that performing at a home institution may be safer. The committee also identified issues with a ‘travelling surgeon’ performing complex surgery in an unfamiliar environment with a surgical team that is not experienced with the intricacies of surgeons techniques. LSE's from home institutions remove or minimize these negative aspects.
Ein evolutionsfähiges System setzt seine Angepasstheit als Bedingung seiner Möglichkeit immer schon voraus. Die strukturellen Kopplungen eines autopoietischen Systems mit seiner Umwelt vermitteln ...zugleich normales Angepasstsein wie laufende Irritation, dienen aber nicht der Verbesserung der Anpassung an die Umwelt. Evolutionäre Änderungen finden vielmehr ihre Ansatzpunkte im System selbst, indem interne Probleme sich so zuspitzen, dass sie nur durch Strukturmodifikationen bearbeitet werden können. Dieses Verständnis von Evolution lässt sich am Beispiel der Gesellschaft als sozialem System an den Formen der ihr möglichen Kommunikation demonstrieren: die Sprache normalisiert die konstitutive Unterscheidung von Information und Mitteilung, die Schrift überwindet die Engpässe einer auf Mündlichkeit, d. h. Interaktion angewiesenen Gesellschaft, die Semantik stabilisiert kommunikativ erfolgreicher Ideen. Die neueren Entwicklungen im Bereich der elektronischen Kommunikationsvermittlung scheinen nun diese Ausgangslage zu verändern, indem die Prämisse einer Zustimmung oder Ablehnung einer Kommunikation als eine Schranke der Evolution entfällt.

Discute as menções ao romance 1984 de George Orwell, feitas por Zygmunt Bauman em Modernidade Líquida (2001). Baseia-se na possibilidade de emprego da literatura distópica como instrumento de ...reflexão, em diálogo com trabalhos teóricos sobre a sociedade da informação. O objetivo do estudo é discutir a interpretação feita por Bauman acerca do 1984 e sua adequação como alegoria da sociedade da informação. As alusões de Bauman ao 1984 revelam a presença de conceitos, a saber: metáforas de ‘sólido’ e ‘líquido’, controle informacional, privacidade e espetacularização da vida social. Estudos recentes sobre a sociedade da informação que fazem referência ao 1984 são recuperados e incluídos na discussão. Resulta deste estudo que, embora Bauman sustente que o romance de Orwell seja uma caracterização da etapa ‘sólida’ da sociedade moderna, existem fundamentos para defender uma via divergente de interpretação. A conclusão aponta a existência de elementos para a consideração de questões relativas à sociedade da informação na novela de Orwell. Constata-se como a literatura participa de forma relevante do esforço de compreensão crítica da sociedade da informação.
It discusses the mentions to George Orwell's novel 1984, made by Zygmunt Bauman in Liquid Modernity (2001). It is based on the possibility of using dystopian literature as an instrument of reflection, in dialogue with theoretical works concerning the information society. The aim of this study is to discuss Bauman's interpretation of 1984 and its suitability as an allegory of the information society. Bauman's allusions to 1984 reveal the presence of concepts, namely: metaphors of 'solid' and 'liquid', informational control, privacy and spectacularization of social life. Recent studies on the information society that refer to 1984 are retrieved and included in the discussion. It follows from this study that, although Bauman supports that Orwell's novel is a characterization of the 'solid' stage of modern society, there are grounds for defending a divergent path of interpretation. The conclusion points to the existence of elements for the consideration of issues relating to the information society in Orwell's novel. It is observed how the literature participates in a relevant way in the effort of critical understanding of the information society.

The paper deals with the issue of new terms in the information society. The authors consider the concepts of neologism, legal term and terminoid giving examples. The paper states that currently the ...process of neologization in the Russian-language legal discourse is characterized by the fact that one of the active sources of terminology are terminoids which initially operate in new fields of law and function for nominating innovative technologies in law. The authors mark two ways of appearing new terms in legal terminology with regard to the language of civil contracts. Focusing on borrowing as one of the most productive sources of replenishing legal terminology, the authors consider new lexemes connected with innovative concepts and digitalization. The paper shows the analysis of terminological units borrowed from the English language. The authors conclude that the current term system of both legal discourse in general and the sphere of civil law in particular is flexible, mobile, susceptible to previously unproductive ways of forming or borrowing terms, and even the use of terms with the preservation of English spelling, as well as metaphor terms.
The links between teacher education, teachers’ work and research has, to say the least, not always been strong in Sweden. However, during the last decades, there has been much work to strengthen this ...link, and there is an ongoing process to identify areas and key questions where new, systematic knowledge is needed. It is like a floating landscape where these questions change over time, due to political, economic as well as technological possibilities. This article focuses on some key issues in the Swedish scene.
Les liens entre la formation des maîtres, la pratique des enseignants et la recherche n’ont pas toujours été très étroits, c’est le moins qu’on puisse dire. Cependant, au cours des dernières décennies, on a beaucoup fait pour renforcer ces liens et on s’attache avec constance à identifier les domaines et les principaux sujets qui nécessitent de nouvelles connaissances systématiques. Cela ressemble à un paysage fluctuant dans lequel ces sujets se modifient au fil du temps en fonction de la situation politique et économique et des possibilités offertes par la technologie. Cet article s’intéresse à quelques-unes de ces principales questions dans le contexte suédois.
From the New York Times bestselling author of Nudge and The World According to Star Wars, a revealing account of how today's Internet threatens democracy—and what can be done about it As the Internet ...grows more sophisticated, it is creating new threats to democracy. Social media companies such as Facebook can sort us ever more efficiently into groups of the like-minded, creating echo chambers that amplify our views. It's no accident that on some occasions, people of different political views cannot even understand one another. It's also no surprise that terrorist groups have been able to exploit social media to deadly effect. Welcome to the age of #Republic. In this revealing book, New York Times bestselling author Cass Sunstein shows how today’s Internet is driving political fragmentation, polarization, and even extremism--and what can be done about it. He proposes practical and legal changes to make the Internet friendlier to democratic deliberation, showing that #Republic need not be an ironic term. Rather, it can be a rallying cry for the kind of democracy that citizens of diverse societies need most.
