Implicațiile propagandei în reflectarea și redefinirea realității

Today technology touches nearly every aspect of our lives, affecting profoundly our activities and reshaping the information environment. The new digital era provides innumerable opportunities to create connections and share ideas and information and even build a new reality. The high-speed Internet has expanded circle of social connections and increased communication opportunities for the social, economic and cultural sectors as well as enhancing efficient access to information and cultural resources. Unfortunately, though, the same technologies can also serve to pollute our online „ecosystem”. They can be used to manipulate at a scale that was never possible. In this information-oversaturated world, fake news and propaganda have taken many forms and simultaneously contribute to undermine, reshape and redefine reality. Our study aims to reveal the way in which reality is redefined and reshaped in this communication context.

Role of Technology in Enhancing the Quality of Higher Business Management Education – A Description

Today technology is having its impact on every direction mankind takes and higher management education cannot be an exception. In fact technology is confirming that it precipitates change in management education by providing and accessing information, learning approaches and methods of teaching and learning. Technology helps by providing learning resources, individualized learning, making the task of teaching-learning interesting, decisive and fruitful. Thus, students learn more and without any burden with the help of technology. It is only with the help of technology that distance higher management education has come to stand on its feet. Higher management education is provided by traditional universities in their campuses and in the colleges affiliated with these universities, institutions for profit and by independent institutions. Some well known business management institutions, as well some universities, also run executive development programmers, training programmers et cetera where the students are working executives. The maximum number of business management graduates and post graduates come from colleges affiliated to universities. Students, coming from different institutions, entering the market, are paid differently by recruiters. This paper makes an attempt to review the role of technology in enhancing the quality of higher management education. In early days of the use of technology in higher business management education was limited to automating but now-a-days technology is being used to transform the management education. For example, use of information technology in higher business management education improves communication, efficiency and decision making. Interactive computer applications and simulation exercises are used for ‘visiting’ and ‘meeting’ the key players before entering the class. Instructor’s console, computer assisted instructions facilitate information and knowledge sharing. To transit knowledge is the ultimate goal of teaching.

Business Method Patent & Computer-Related Inventions Patents in India

Today technology is changing expeditiously. New technical inventions are taking place in huge number. These new inventions open new field of subject-matter for protection under Intellectual Property Law. Intellectual Property law gives an umbrella protection to new inventors. Patent provide protection for those line of process, products which are novel and are capable of proving that it involves an inventive step. USPTO grants maximum patents in a year. The paper written here advocates the invalidity of Business Method patent in Indian scenario. Business method today is capable of IP protection in countries like USA, Australia, Japan and New Zealand. India is against granting of protection to Business Method. India which amended its Patent Act 1970 recently, through an ordinance, to bring it in line with TRIPS agreement would not have helped the Indian software industry in anyway and would have only paved the way for the foreign companies to block the technology by playing with the words.

Achieving reliable system performance by fast recovery of branch miss prediction

Today's technology evolution provides users inexpensive and powerful computer systems. However, there are argues that system reliability and fault tolerance is necessary in the systems as well. A proper design for the reliable and fault-tolerant computer system requires a trade-off among cost, reliability, and availability. In this paper, we propose a low-cost recovery scheme for reliable system performance. With this approach, it completely eliminates the roll-back overhead on branch misprediction. Thus, the instruction fetcher does not stop and it fetches instructions from the correct path immediately after the misprediction detected. So, this approach prevents a processor from flushing the pipeline, even under branch misprediction by allowing the instruction fetcher to work continuously. Our approach reduces the branch misprediction penalty for achieving reliable system performance. It instantly reconstructs the map table to any mispredicted branch and it outperforms the conventional RMT by an average of 10.93%.

Benefits of membership - Today's patents rely on IEEE-published science

Today's technology patents are more frequently based on the fundamental source, i.e. scientific and technical literature, and by far the most-cited publisher in new technology patents is the IEEE. This article examines the impact of IEEE society publications and patent citations as indicator of quality

The boundless body: Cultural perspectives on xenotransplantation

Today's technology is able to intervene in biological processes in a highly concrete way. Technology thus shapes and reshapes our world in a very special way, not just biologically but also culturally. This raises questions relevant to the cultural sciences. In this article I discuss biotechnology and cultural transformation by considering xenotransplantation. The focus is on patients who have received animal cells, and on their attempts to make it possible to handle both medical interventions and society's ideas about these technologies. This requires a shift from discourse analysis to a more action‐oriented analysis: to capture how people live the discourse. In this context, I view people's bodies as meeting places for different figures of thought and practices. My initial assumption is that this requires a demystification of the body, that is, interpretations proceeding from diversity and flexibility rather than fixed categories.

Enterprise networks: The re-engineering of complex software systems

Today technology design can no longer be understood as a design process on a ‘green site’. Design and implementation of new technology are always dependent on existing technology and the way it is used by people. In this respect Software-Engineering has also changed to the characteristics of ‘normal’ technology design taking into account existing computer systems. Experiences show that the conditions and needs of such Software-Reengineering projects are highly complex and differ in their special characteristics ranging from aspects of quality of existing system documentation to organizational structures of the computer departments concerned. The Task-Artifact Cycle presented here gives a suitable reengineering approach emphasizing both analysis and design in Software-Reengineering.

Remote telephone control system

Today's technology is increasing at such an incredible rate that in the future the entire house we live in will be centrally controlled by a computer. The device detailed in this paper is the starting point for such a house. The goal of this device is to give a houseowner the ability to remotely check or control his household devices through the use of a Touch-Tone telephone. This means that any house can be controlled from any location where there is a Touch-Tone telephone available.

State Regulation in a World of ???Boundary-less??? Technology

Today's technology links health care providers and patients across town, in the next state or even another country. Nursing across state lines poses complications: state-bound regulatory and licensure issues.

Fuzzy Inference for Variable Structure Control

Today's technology requires controls capable of handling highly nonlinear, time-varying, uncertain systems. Variable structure control VSC is one such control method. Variable structure control is invariant to system perturbations and external disturbances; however, a high-frequency control chattering exists that renders the VSC impractical for most applications. Fuzzy inference can be used to reduce the chattering. By using fuzzy inference to determine the switching scheme of the VSC, the original robustness and fast response time of the VSC can be retained while reducing the control chattering. Optimization of the fuzzy parameters using genetic algorithms will also produce a system with improved response time and accuracy.

Toward Digital Man?

Today's technology builds tomorrow's humanity. It is the key to most forecasts about the impact of scientific and technical innovations on work and the organization of worldwide exchanges; on urbanism and social life of the city; on value systems and methods of thinking; on cultures; and, perhaps, even on the human species. What is the value of a futuristic scenario of a digital society? In evaluating this question, caution is required: imagination exceeds actual changes. But I will insist on the benefit of studying, among other matters, this fantasized future that guides the action of all partners in the spread of the current technology, which combines information science, audiovisual media, and telecommunications.
