Expérience du vieillissement et expérience médiatique : nouvelles dynamiques et fracture numérique du second degré à La Réunion
Authors: Plante Flavie
Published: May 2017

Understanding the relationship that older people develop with information and communication technologies is complex. Basing itself on the assumption that age, gender, and social class are not sufficient to understand this relationship, this article suggests combining the mechanisms of aging with those of media experience. This combination allows us to identify dynamics around recovery, deception and active and inactive attitudes around technologies. Applied to 35 retired individuals living in Réunion, these dynamics fuel the definition of the “second order digital divide,” the understanding of which depends on taking into account the stakes involved in the representation of old age.
Quelles sont les pratiques de jeux numériques des aînés canadiens? Langue, éducation, et contexte social comme facteurs d’usage
Authors: Duplàa Emmanuel , Kaufman David , Sauvé Louise , Renaud Lise
Published: May 2017

In the current context of aging populations, digital games can increase cognitive skills and decrease loneliness among elders. However, it is hard to access data about elders’ uses of digital games. We have administered a survey to 1,208 Canadian elders from British Columbia and Québec. Our findings show that several factors independently influence practices: language, education, social context and to some extent gender. It would be appropriate to develop specific games to change the role of digital games, from being “catalysts for differences among elders” to becoming tools that benefit everyone.
Analyse de la dynamique intergénérationnelle dans la perception des technologies numériques et leur intégration dans la pédagogie universitaire à l’Université Félix Houphouët-Boigny d’Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire)
Authors: Bogui Jean-Jacques
Published: May 2017

Studies in Côte d’Ivoire on the issue of the integration of information and communications technologies (ICTs) in university teaching show relatively large variations in the perceptions of these technologies and their use in university pedagogy among teacher-researchers from different generations. This article aims to analyze, on the basis of two qualitative surveys using interview guides and direct observation at the University Félix Houphouët-Boigny in Abidjan, variations that can be observed in the collection and use of ICTs for university teaching by Ivorian teacher-researchers from different generations as well as the consequences of these changes on the success of programs to integrate digital technologies at this university.
Signer/connecter : enjeux croisés du vieillissement, des technologies et de la sourditude
Authors: Leduc Véro , Grenier Line
Published: May 2017

This article is the result of a research-creation project focused on the intersections between ageing, technologies, and Deafhood, based on interviews with deaf seniors that were used to produce a video (Fingers on the line) and on public discussions in four languages (Quebec and American sign languages, French and English). Adopting a critical stance vis-à-vis approaches of ageing as decline and deafness as disability, the research raises issues related to “giving voice,” uses and non-uses of ICT, filiation and intergenerationality as well as the relations between bodies and technologies. By way of conclusion, we sketch notions of ageing-together, techné and normalization as openings for further research.
Old Dogs, New Clicks: Digital Inequality in Skills and Uses among Older Adults
Authors: Hargittai Eszter , Dobransky Kerry
Published: May 2017

Research on digital inequality tends to collapse people above a certain age into one “older adults” category, seemingly assuming that this is one homogeneous group when it comes to internet uses. Drawing on national survey data of adults in the United States, this article examines the online skills and behaviour of this group. Findings reveal diversity among older adults in internet skills and uses. Those with higher education and higher income have higher-level Web-use skills. While those of higher socioeconomic status are also more likely to use the internet for diverse types of activities from which they may benefit, once controlling for skills, these differences are less pronounced.
« T’es un vrai … si … » : quand les seniors aiment leur ville au sein de groupes Facebook
Authors: Bouko Catherine , Calabrese Laura
Published: May 2017

In 2014, French and Belgian Facebook members witnessed the flourishing of numerous Facebook groups dedicated to their town or village that shared the same rallying cry, “You’re a real … if …” This trend spread like wildfire, to the extent that more than 160 towns/villages now have an active page on the social network. Seniors are among the most active members of these groups. In this context, the general objective of our study consisted of identifying the mechanisms through which these pages participate in building a real geo-cultural community in which the oldest Facebook members play a central role. To do so, we performed a content analysis of the 842 posts and 5,314 comments written between December 5, 2014 and January 5, 2015 in the groups representing the cities of Hannut and Jodoigne (Belgium) as well as Fourmies and Harnes (France). Our study concerns the topics of the posts, the types of actions performed by the members and the interactions among them. Our research shows that such groups create intergenerational “affinity spaces,” which debunks common misconceptions about how seniors approach the digital world.
Aging with Technology: Seniors and Mobile Connections
Authors: Jacobson Jenna , Lin Chang Z. , McEwen Rhonda
Published: May 2017

This research tells a story of age, aging, and evolving with mobile technologies in a single Canadian community. Using data from 2005 and 2012, we critically analyze seniors’ use of mobile technologies by applying Taylor’s information use environment. The article seeks to understand the influence of context in studying user behaviour vis-à-vis a) device ownership, b) communication practices, and c) technology preferences. Findings suggest that while the social rhetoric of seniors as adopters of mobile technologies (i.e., silver surfers) is premature, there is evidence of seniors leapfrogging older mobile devices and acquiring smartphones—with consequential complications for catching up to widening skills gaps. We also identify a variability of experiences within this generational group suggesting that there may be an additional digital divide among seniors.
A netsemlegesség - definíciók, törvényhozói, tartalomszolgáltatói, internetszolgáltatói és felhasználói olvasatok
Authors: Szűts Zoltán , Yoo Jinil
Published: May 2017

Tanulmányunk témája a netsemlegesség. Először magát a fogalmat definiáljuk többféle módon, majd a netsemlegességgel kapcsolatos törvényhozói, internet- és tartalomszolgáltatói, valamint felhasználói kihívásokat, problémákat és válaszokat mutatjuk be. Számos szerző szerint az internet legnagyobb, immár tradicionális értéke a nyíltság, sokszínűség, tartalomgazdagság, tértől és időtől független társadalmi és perszonális kommunikációba való szabad belépés és a szabad verseny lehetősége. A netsemlegesség mellett és ellen felhozott érvek bemutatását is ezek a szempontok alapján tesszük. Kiemelt szerepet kap a netsemlegesség megsértésének kategorizálása is. Tanulmányunkban közlünk egy törvényalkotási kronológiát, mely az USA-ra, az EU-ra és Kelet-Ázsiára fókuszál, illetve ismertetjük a BEREC 2011-es felmérésének az EU-ban alkalmazott, internetszolgáltatói gyakorlatra vonatkozó eredményeit. A munkát az Internet.org kezdeményezést vizsgáló esettanulmány zárja, végül ezt követik a jövővel kapcsolatos kérdések, és néhány lehetséges válasz.

Net neutrality - definitions and the standpoints of legislators, content providers, Internet service providers and users

This article examines the topic of net neutrality. Firstly, it provides us with a theoretical insight and several definitions. Then it presents the issues and challenges legislators, ISP’s, content providers and users face. Several authors state that the biggest virtue and value of Internet lies in open access, diversity, richness of content, free competition, and low barrier entry for users in order to participate in personal social communication. Our presentation of arguments pro and cons net neutrality will be built on the basis of these considerations. Priority will be given to the introduction of several categories of net neutrality violations. In our paper we will present a legislative chronology in the topic focusing on USA, EU and Korea-Japan as well as the findings of the 2011 BEREC survey. Finally we examine the Internet.org project. In the conclusion, the article offers several more issues to be discussed and provides some possible answers.

Chivalrous business. Civilizative regulators on sexpartner seeking social networking sites

In this descriptive paper we give an overview and possible approaches of prostitution as a social phenomenon while we highlight the evolutional as well as sociocritical directions. Then cyberprostitution is placed in a civilisation-historic context, comparing the medieval chivalry (the idealised figure of women vs. the looked down, segregated and utilised one) with its changes in the cyber-era (when the idealised and utilised figure of women become one). The theoretical overview is followed by the outlined presentation of the observed social networking sites (SNSs) and its web2-based systems. After these details, we make a content analysis on the relevant textual corpuses of these sites which leads to some considerations about communication dynamic properties of the cyber-prostitution-oriented SNSs.

Mesterséges intelligencia az egészség és a jólét területén: a gépi tanulás, a crowdsourcing és az ön-annotációban rejlő lehetőségek
Authors: Lőrincz András
Published: May 2017

Cikkemben érveket hozok fel amellett, hogy, hogy a technológiai fejlődés ma nagy lehetőségeket kínálnak az egészségügy és a jólét számára. Nézetem szerint (1) az „okos” eszközök (smart tools) és a különböző viselhető érzékelők, (2) az adatgyűjtés és az adatbányászati módszerek, (3) a három dimenziós (3D-s) képi rögzítési és képi feldolgozási eszközök, (4) a 3D-s, bonyolult fizikai motorral rendelkező, például grafikai modellek, valamint (5) a crowdsourcing-on (outsourcing: külső erőforrások igénybevétele, crowdsourcing: külső emberi erőforrások tömeges igénybevétele) alapuló emberalapú számítások (human-based computing), terén történő nagy és sikeres erőfeszítések hatalmas változásokat indítanak el. Nem állítom, bár tagadni sem tudom azt, hogy a mesterséges intelligencia eszközei néhány év múlva elérik az emberi intelligencia szintjét, mert ez lehetséges. Véleményem szerint, az egészségügy és a jólét területén gyors fejlődés lehetséges az egészségügyi és jóléti szakértők, és a motivált mérnökök közötti aktív együttműködés útján.

Artificial Intelligence, Health and Wellbeing: prospects for machine learning, crowdsourcing and self-annotation

We argue that recent technology developments – e.g. smart tools and wearable sensors of diverse kinds, data collection and data mining methods, 3D visual recording and visual processing methods, 3D models of the environment with robust physics engine – and new applications of human computing and crowdsourcing hold great promises for health and wellbeing. We are neither claiming nor excluding that human intelligence will be reached in some years from now, but make the above claim, which is both weaker and stronger. We believe that fast developments for health and wellbeing are the question of active collaboration between health and wellbeing experts and motivated engineers.
Dos jardines de la modernidad: la India en Octavio Paz
Authors: López Cafaggi Carlos Eduardo
Published: May 2017

Este artículo indaga en la percepción que Octavio Paz tenía sobre la India, ahondando en su experiencia personal como viajero y, eventualmente, embajador de México en este país. La mayor parte del texto cuestiona mediante la teoría poscolonial el sesgo eurocéntrico que el escritor mexicano reproduce en Vislumbres de la India. No obstante, también hago una revisión crítica de su poemario Ladera Este, contrastando en ambos casos la afinidad y distancia del poeta hacia su sujeto de estudio y devoción. El propósito de este trabajo no es sólo destacar la importancia que la India tenía en Octavio Paz (un elemento a menudo olvidado en la crítica literaria), sino también evaluar estética y académicamente sus acercamientos a ella.

Mediante la utilización de los datos longitudinales del Mexican Migration Project, en este artículo se describen los cambios residenciales (migración interna o retorno) vinculados al trabajo de los hombres mexicanos después de su primera llegada a Estados Unidos, y cómo éstos varían según la etapa de la migración (bracero, pre-irca y post-irca). Se analiza cómo las probabilidades de cada tipo de movimiento difieren según el tiempo de llegada, el estatus de documentación y la ocupación.
Inmigración y envejecimiento en Estados Unidos. Una relación por descubrir /// Immigration and Aging in the United States of America. A Relationship to Discover
Authors: Canales Alejandro I.
Published: May 2017

En Estados Unidos el avance del envejecimiento de la población blanca es tal que ya se expresa en importantes déficits de población en edades activas y reproductivas. En este contexto, la inmigración latinoamericana ha permitido cubrir estos desequilibrios aportando, por un lado, los volúmenes de población necesarios para mantener los niveles de reproducción demográfica y, por otro, proveyendo los contingentes de fuerza de trabajo requeridos para mantener el dinamismo económico. Sin embargo, este sistema de complementariedad demográfica no está exento de tensiones y contradicciones. La masividad de la migración, como su mayor natalidad y fecundidad, pueden derivar en una situación donde la tradicional primacía de la población blanca pudiera verse cuestionada por el crecimiento de la población de origen latino. Las más recientes proyecciones demográficas indican un avance en ese sentido. En este artículo documentamos esta situación. AbstractIn the United States the aging of the white population is already generating significant demographic deficits, specially in population in active and reproductive ages. In this context, Latin American immigration has helped to cover these imbalances by providing, on the one hand, the volumes needed to maintain population levels of demographic re-production, while providing contingent workforce needed to maintain economic dynamism. However, this demographic complementarity is not absent from tensions and contradictions. Large volumes of migration with their higher levels of birth and fertility, could lead in the near future to a situation where the traditional primacy of the white population could be challenged by the growth of the Latino population. Recent population projections indicate a step in that direction. In this article we document this situation using official statistics of the Census Bureau of the United States.

Financial Innovation in Switzerland: Innovative Strategies in Ticino´s Banks
Authors: Napoli Roberto
Published: May 2017

The present study, upon trying to explain the nature of innovation in the banking sector, also aims at verifying if banks are in fact as innovative as statistics based on CIS (Community Innovation Survey) in several European countries suggest (Napoli, 2008b). Furthermore, the present work also contributes to the theoretical debate. In fact, a new view is proposed in order to assess innovativeness of banks, which bases on their propensity to finance innovative projects. With their allocating decisions, financial intermediaries act as a multiplicator of innovative capacity and hence overtake a leading role in driving innovative forces.
Beyond Green Innovation: The Next Step
Authors: De Hoyos Arnoldo , Moura Carla , Dias Sylmara Gonçalves
Published: May 2017

Sustainable development involves complex issues to be considered, and great challenges to be overcome in the short and long term. Its impact depends on the changes the means of production and consumption of goods have suffered lately. To start with there are important differences regarding sustainable and “green” consumption that should be considered; and yet research on most sustainable consumption is still considering consumption in detriment of its relationship to other relevant frameworks. In addition, these studies emerged from economic and engineering perspectives only, when there is a clear need for a more interdisciplinary approach based on social, cultural, anthropologic, psychological and philosophic foundations. In fact the quest for sustainability needs to consider the basic issue of consumer patterns and hence relates to what is now called green. In the end the final question is: In case Prosperity without growth may be possible, how this may be attained to satisfy global needs?

The Paradox between Consumerism and Sustainability - How to approach the marketing professionals with this theme
Authors: Braga Afonso Carlos
Published: May 2017

Much has been said these days about the World’s limited capacity to provide sustainable resources vis a vis the growing population's demand for goods and supplies in a planet of finite resources. According to the Living Planet Report, produced by the NGO World Wildlife Fund (WWF): “At humanity's present rate of consumption, by 2030 we'll need the resources of two Earths just to survive long-term. There are really two options: start building another Earth, or drastically change our lifestyles. Which one is supposed to be easier?”[1]The present article addresses this issue from the point of view of the marketing executives of big companies, responsible to lead the communication and growth strategies of those companies, often encouraging 'consumerism' to meet the profit and revenue growths. The idea was to understand if this topic is relevant to these professionals,hence their companies, and raise some hypotheses of how to approach this problem in order to provoke those companies to practice "conscious marketing". Going one step further, does the type of organizational paradigm in which the executive company acts should influence the way to approach this professional when conducting personal interviews to collect data? An initial analysis on the theory of how to develop market research questions to avoid bias and/or induced responses, will lead to the article conclusion of how to set up a questionnaire that will be taken into consideration in a near future, at the masters’ thesis of the author.[1] Source:http://io9.com/5664078/humanity-will-need-two-earths-to-sustain-itself-in-just-twenty-years, access 02 dec 12
Entrepreneurs in teaching and educational practice
Authors: Kuazaqui Edmir , Volpato Luis Antônio
Published: May 2017

This article discusses the adoption of entrepreneurial practices as fundamental to the professor strategy. It is true that the addition of educational entrepreneurship concepts has not been thorough enough for a number of biases that have barred this discussion so far (Lavieri, 2010). For this reason, this paper focuses its importance to the qualitative education of the student. But what these entrepreneurial practices ? These practices, as Lowman (2004 ), relate to the different actions applied by the teacher in order to better convey his teachings and make the student body can understand and comprehend the contents taught and their applications . Thus, the teacher is no longer simply a content - and becomes a facilitator of the learning process. Thus, we highlight the importance of continuing education for the development of content, both from the point of view of the teacher as the student. After analysis and discussion, a reflection on the importance of constantly planned and sustained process of dialogue- creative education will be presented. This work drew on an exploratory study with bibliographical and field techniques, especially the experiential, from the systemic registration of experiences of the authors of the article and the testimony of other professors. Then characterized as essentially a qualitative study, no statistical evidence of the application of these practices.
Analysis of Critical Studies of Organizations in Academic Production

Published: May 2017

This article has the purpose of analyzing the organizational studies which undertakes a critical perspective, and due to these lines up with the critical theory and to the so called Critical Management Studies.The critical theory from Marx even to the authors of the school of Frankfurt takes criticism, as a central theme, to the dominant capital system and the social emancipation referenced or not to the working category. The critical studies are not necessarily lined up to these objectives, but, offer alternatives to the dominant functional paradigm in organizational studies.The scope of the study is the analysis of the academic Brazilian production of the National Meetings of the National Association of Post Graduates and Research in Administration - EnANPAD and of the Meetings of the Organizational Studies Division of ANPAD-EnEO between 2008 and 2012. The main results show that the critical studies, in spite of continuing below 10 %, develop studies of relevant themes for the critical analysis of the organizations and search increasingly more, for studies with empirical basis and case studies to update the reading of the practices and organizational reality.

O presente artigo tem por objetivo demonstrar, por intermédio de uma pesquisajunto à Empresa Controlar qual a eficácia da ação da inspeção veicular para a melhoriado ar da Cidade de São Paulo. Ação essa que se tornou obrigatória através de Decreto-LeiMunicipal nº11.733 de 27 de março de 1995 e Lei Municipal nº12.157 de 1996, pelo DecretoMunicipal 50.232, de 17 de novembro de 2008, por Resoluções do Conselho Nacional do MeioAmbiente, bem como está prevista no artigo 104 do Código de Trânsito Brasileiro. A Controlaré uma empresa pioneira de capital nacional que detêm o controle e a licença da Prefeiturapara a inspeção veicular. O estudo realizado foi o exploratório, qualitativo básico, compostopor entrevista. A entrevista foi gravada e, posteriormente, transcrita. Esses dados foramsubmetidos a um processo de Análise de Conteúdo conforme a abordagem da Bardin (2010)leitura flutuante codificação e categorização. A partir desta categorização os dados foramanalisados e interpretados. Os resultados revelaram que a Inspeção Veicular tem melhorado aqualidade do ar na cidade de São Paulo, visto que após a implantação do processo houve umgrande índice de redução de emissão de poluentes no ar provindas de veículos em mal estadode circulação e conservação. Acredita-se que com a obrigatoriedade da adesão de 100% dafrota circulante, atingir-se-á o nível desejado de qualidade para o nosso ar. Este novo cenáriotem se mostrado favorável à manutenção da qualidade de vida das gerações futuras.

A Study of Concept Structure of PMBOK Based on Graph Theory
Authors: Ohshima Naoki
Published: May 2017

One especial characteristic of the PMBOK fourth edition is that the data flow betweenprocesses is defined with the definition of individual processes. Based on relations of input andthe output during an adjacent management process, we can visualize the network structure of42 project management processes analytically.The author showed that we could estimate the density of the process flow from the networkstructure based on the relations during the process of the first proximity.However, this network structure based on relations of first proximity is not including the indirectrelationship among management processes. Therefore, it is necessary to extract a cross-sectionaldata flowchart on knowledge areas by expanding analysis range of the management pass inconsideration of a highly advanced proximity element (process).Based on this cross-sectional data flowchart, it is able to visualize a complicated managementprocessing flow. As a result, it is found that there were complementary relations between theflow by way and by no way of the project integration management knowledge area. This suggeststhat network analysis technique is effective as method to visualize the flow of the managementprocess of project.In this paper, I would like to report the example of visualization of the management processingflow of some project management knowledge areas.
Fontes Externas no Processo de Inovação Aberta: Fatores Potencializadores e Restritivos em Startups de Base Tecnológica
Authors: Vieira Kelly Carvalho , Prado José Willer do , Alcântara Valderí De Castro , Bermejo Paulo Henrique de Souza
Published: May 2017

Despite that research on open innovation keeps in growing, applications in Startups are still incipient, especially in Brazil. Thus, this paper aims to describe and analyze the challenges of open innovation in technology-based Startups, seeking reinforcing and restrictive factors involved for external sources of knowledge. The study considered two startups on which were considered two main categories: i) Search by external sources and ii) Motivation and Background. The results indicated that the main Reinforcing or Fostering factor was the support being given by a University infrastructure as well as the one regarding the search for sources of funding and internal competencies needed by Startups. In turn, there were legal and bureaucratic problems regarding transfer and negotiation with external sources, these in addition to the fear of sharing knowledge and inner experiences in the context of open innovation were the main restrictive factors. So it seems that there are serious limits in trying to apply the Open Innovation Model in the case of Startups in Brazil due to structural, cultural and legal limitations.
El fragmento 48 del Protréptico de Aristóteles a la luz de Sobre las ideas: ¿vocabulario platónico o concepciones platónicas?
Authors: Seggiaro Claudia
Published: May 2017

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el fragmento 48 del Protréptico teniendo como telón de fondo alguna de las críticas que Aristóteles presentó contra los principios platónicos en Sobre las Ideas. Creemos que, si bien el fragmento 48 del Protréptico tiene cierta reminiscencia platónica, su lectura, a la luz de Sobre las Ideas, nos permite sostener que, de haber defendido la teoría platónica de las Ideas en el primer escrito, Aristóteles habría caído en una inconsistencia, pues estaría expuesto a las mismas críticas que realiza contra esos principios en obras relativamente contemporáneas. Por otra parte, consideramos que quienes persisten en creer que el fragmento 48 del Protréptico es un testimonio de que Aristóteles defendió tal teoría incurren en la misma crítica que el estagirita realiza contra los platónicos en el argumento a partir de la ciencia de Sobre las Ideas, pues afirman más de lo que el texto permite concluir.
