Making climate information useable for forest-based climate change interventions in South Africa

ABSTRACT Understanding knowledge systems, that is the combination of agents, practices, and institutions that organize the production, transfer, and use of knowledge and their role in making climate information useable for forest-based climate responses, is critical for building resilience to climate change. This study used the concept of a knowledge system to examine how organizational collaboration, in the processes of forecast translation, influences the production of useable information in forest-based climate change interventions in South Africa. Twenty-two key informant interviews were conducted with actors in the fields of climate change and forestry. Results reveal that carbon sequestration and landscape management are the dominant forest-based climate interventions. Consequently, the information translated from the forecasts is tailored towards facilitating the implementation of these two interventions. Network analysis reveals that actors in the categories of small-scale forest companies and community-based enterprises are less integrated into the process of information production. A concerted effort towards the meaningful integration of all categories of actors in the process of information production, as well as the production of information that encourages the implementation of other types of forest-based climate change interventions such as forest bioenergy, is thus recommended.

Research on a Traceability Process of Sand Core Information by Printing QR Code on Sand Core Surface in the Casting Production Process

The quality of the sand core directly affects the quality of the casting during the casting process. The establishment of an information link between the sand core and the casting can realize the traceability of sand core production and process data in the casting production. The technology can be used when casting defects related to the sand core occur and quickly respond to the causes and optimize the manufacturing process of the sand core making process. This article describes the necessity of establishing a traceability process for sand core making information and introduces a traceability process of sand core information in casting production to ensure that each sand core has its own production process information, which is for product quality management and process optimization. It provides information supervision and promotes the development of intelligent casting manufacturing technology and management technology.

Kryzys informacji w zmediatyzowanej sferze publicznej – od mediów tradycyjnych do hybrydowych platform komunikacyjnych

The free circulation of information in an open and unfettered public sphere is one of the foundations of well-functioning democracies. For theirs proper functioning, access to reliable information is necessary, which — reaching citizens — allows them to make the right decisions and control power. Many factors should be taken into account when analysing the information production process in new and traditional media: publishers-media owners, advertisers-business, communication technologies, public relations institutions, and now algorithms. An important element are also consumers and prosumers of media content, who try to participate in the media flow of information in a more competent or less competent way. The emergence of communication platforms that redistribute information has revolutionized the relationship between the elite, the media, and the public. More importantly, it contributed to the crisis of the public sphere, trust, and defragmentation of societies. Confused citizens are bombarded with information whose sources they cannot assess and disinformation, fake news, and post-truth have permanently entered the popular dictionary, replacing „unfashionable” propaganda and censorship. The aim of the article will be to analyse the current state of the media sphere through the prism of the weaknesses of traditional journalism, insufficient competences of recipients and uncontrolled flow of information controlled by the attention management industry.

Accuracy assessments of Göktürk-1 satellite imagery

Optical satellite imagery has an important place today in terms of responding to the increasing need for geospatial base in many different fields and disciplines, especially because of their availability and temporal resolution. Because all kinds of geospatial information and data production processes such as orthoimages, maps, vector data and etc. in especially for large project areas provide the opportunity to reduce the cost and time required in the field work, so the interest in high resolution satellite imagery. Göktürk-1, an electro-optical satellite that was launched on December 5, 2016 and acquiring 0.50 m spatial resolution imagery, aims to meet the high resolution image requirements of Turkey.

Quantifying the effect of market information on demand for genetically modified salmon

We investigate how production process labels and information about potential positive and/or negative aspects of GM technology affects demand for novel seafood products. We collected data during an online choice experiment distributed among 1,043 United States seafood consumers. Our results indicate participants not provided with GM information are willing to pay a premium for Verified Non-GM and Organic fillets, but require a discount for Fed-GM and GM fillets. Positive information reduces willingness to pay (WTP) for Organic, Non-GM and GM fillets, while negative information significantly increases WTP for Organic fillets and reduces WTP for GM fillets. Balanced information reduces WTP for Organic and Verified Non-GM salmon, similar in magnitude to positive information, and reduces WTP for GM-Fed and GM salmon, similar in magnitude to negative information. We provide some recommendations and discussion on how producers and food sellers might encourage effective communication between themselves and consumers based on our findings and the broader literature.

Shadowing ‘the exceptional’ behind the ‘ordinary’: mapping a network of intelligence laundering

ABSTRACT Under the imperative of ‘prevention’, the process of information production for investigatory purposes forms a crossover between intelligence gathering and law enforcement. Digital surveillance programmes collect personal data prior to any probable cause of suspicion, whereas law enforcement activities are concerned with collecting evidence of crimes after the event. When future looking preventative approaches to the prosecution of crimes are forced into the linear, temporal narrative by which criminal investigations unfold, a tension emerges. The article demonstrates the ultimate incompatibility between ‘out of the ordinary’ intelligence activities and ‘ordinary’ criminal investigations by unearthing the procedural character behind evidence laundering.

The Quality of Official Statistical Information: Approaches and International Practices of Evaluation

The article describes the role of statistics in the economic and social policy setting, the development of public and private sector, and international relations. It is noted that the results of a global assessment of the domestic statistical system indicate that European standards for the quality of statistical information are used in official statistics bodies. At the same time, it is pointed out that the domestic statistical activities face unresolved problems associated with a significant burden on respondents, poor quality of primary data, etc. The methodological foundations and practical issues of monitoring the statistical potential of national statistical systems through the prism of the quality of statistical information production processes proposed by the Partnership in Statistics for Development in the 21st Century are investigated. There are 14 tools for assessing the statistical potential used in the international statistical practice for measuring and evaluating various aspects of national statistical data, including the performance of statistical institutions and the quality of their results.
 A multidimensional statistical potential indicator (SCI) of the World Bank is considered, which diagnostic framework evaluates the statistical methodology, data source, frequency and timeliness of the publication of the indicators reflecting the production of statistical information in a country, which are harmonized with individual global indicators of the SDG. The dynamics of the statistical potential of the national statistical system of Ukraine among 140 developing countries that borrow funds from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development are analyzed. It is shown that the decreasing level of the statistical potential in Ukraine is associated with the following components: data sources, frequency and timeliness.
 To enhance the performance and strengthen the institutional capacity of the existing statistical system, it is proposed to take account of the indicators used for the assessment and monitoring of statistical potential in the methodological and practical activities of official statistics bodies. The need to improve quality, accessibility and comparability of the official statistical information is justified, and respective measures are proposed.

Perancangan Framework Peningkatan Kualitas Informasi Melalui Perbaikan Proses Produksi Informasi

Government requires the mapping of the country in order to make the development can be precisely targeted and evenly. Government agencies that the function is to perform the data collection in this country is the Statistics of Indonesia (BPS). To answer the complexity problems faced by the government or private, BPS is expected to improve the quality of information produced. To improve the quality of information, the necessary framework that can be used as a guide in measuring and improving the quality of information is needed. The proposed framework in this research was carried out based on study literature. The quality of information was assessed during the information production process. The information production process was improved based on the maturity and attributes concept in COBIT 4.1. The main purpose of this research is to design a framework that is able to provide guidance to improve the quality of information in the form of recommendations for information production improvement.

Ética periodística para una información con perspectiva de género

Main topic / subject: The objective of this work is to carry out a theoretical reflection on new communicative strategies, focused on journalistic ethics. This ethics would be useful for the setting-up of a journalism with gender perspective. The research addresses the role of the media in the social construction of gender, based on the social responsibility paradigm. Logical development of the subject: In recent years, the concern for the informative treatment of these issues has increased exponentially, at the same time that a greater degree of awareness about the relationship between men and women has taken place. Traditionally, media representations of gender had contributed to the reinforcement of stereotyped archetypes. Against this, journalistic organizations must modify their approach, using a gender perspective. This responsibility in a broad sense is what our study is based on. Author’s point of view and contributions: Our main contribution is a new assessment of the concept of journalistic ethics, which becomes central to news with gender perspective. This ethics includes all phases of the information production process. Therefore, it is put forward as a tool for the media to fight sexist gender roles as a whole. Implications and conclusions: The conclusions have impacts on the social representation of gender, triggered by the development of a journalistic perspective that helps to ending macho archetypes. In addition, our approach involves an amendment to the main ethical codes applied in Spain, outdated in gender equality. On the other hand, some regional audiovisual councils are aligned with our ethical dimension. Journalism, as a social profession, has to be open to these proposals that would contribute to meeting the informational needs of women, usually forgotten by the masculinized nature of media companies.

Frequentist approach for estimation of false decision risks in conformity assessment based on measurement uncertainty of liquid chromatography analytical procedures

The measurement uncertainty (MU) related to analytical results can lead to false decisions in conformity assessment, such as accepting or rejecting incorrectly a medicine lot (consumer’s and producer’s risks, respectively). These risks can be global or specific. It is important to understand the different types of conformity decision risks, and the different approaches to estimate them to ensure the reliability of the analytical results. Thus, the aim of this work was to estimate the specific consumer’s and producer’s risks from the MU values of 64 liquid chromatography analytical procedures for antibiotic or antifungal assays, in order to evaluate their performances in conformity assessment. The specific risks of the analytical procedures were estimated by the frequentist approach following normal distribution using Microsoft Excel® software, and in addition a spreadsheet was created to be available as supplementary material to estimate specific risks by this approach. Moreover, the global risks of the analytical procedures were estimated using Bayesian approach, assuming a uniform scenario of production process. And finally, the estimation of specific risks by Bayesian and frequentist approaches was compared. Only 39 % of the evaluated analytical procedures had MU within the recommended. When the result is close to the specification limit, the risk can be significant, in such cases, a strategy is to adopt guard bands to reduce or expand the specification limits, minimizing the risks. The spreadsheet created shows the risk of false decision for a MU value, considering results within and outside the specification limits, allowing to verify the risk according to the analytical result obtained. The global risks values were practically equal to the expanded uncertainty values, as there is no tendency of the production process between lots within or outside the specification, but once the analytical result is known, the frequentist approach provides a more reliable risk estimate (specific risk). The specific risks estimated by Bayesian and frequentist approaches were divergent by the influence of the production process information on the first approach, which may overestimate or underestimate the consumer's and producer's risks regarding the frequentist approach. Failures in medicine conformity assessment can cause much damage, therefore, preventive actions such as developing, evaluating and/or optimizing analytical procedures, are essential in order to guarantee measurement uncertainties below or equal to the target and adopt routine strategies to minimize the risk of false decisions in conformity assessment.

Multi-stage optimization and meta-model analysis with sequential parameter range adjustment for the low-energy house in Korea

The demand for low-energy building in the market is growing in Korea. However, transition of the market is slow mainly due to shortage of relevant information regarding the selection of energy saving design and technical elements with their subsequent impact on energy performance. Recent development of optimization tools has tried to integrate energy performance simulation with conventional architectural design process. However, these new optimization techniques such as stochastic optimization, sensitivity analysis, and meta-model analysis failed to provide sufficient knowledge base for all stakeholders during the design process despite their potentials. The objective of this study was to test an integrated process of optimization analysis and information production. An integrated automatic simulation framework was established with Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) and modeFrontier. Sequential adjustment of ranges of influential parameters was then performed until the median value of heating demand in randomly constructed design of experiment (DOE) cases reached two target performance levels. 2D plot charts for influential parameters in each target performance level were obtained based on meta-model analysis satisfying low-energy target objects.Main findings of this study are as follows: 1) Technical parameters are more influential than design parameters. Thus, it is necessary to establish technical levels for selected primary parameters such as SHGC and linear thermal transmittance; 2) The influential priority of parameters changes through eight simulation phases. Thus, the reliability of the sensitivity analysis is largely dependent on the defining realistic and feasible ranges for every planning parameter; 3) In the case of newly-introduced parameters and technologies, the proposed methodology of multi-stage optimization analysis for advising technical level has potential to provide enough information regarding the selection of appropriate technical levels and the interrelationship among other parameters.Comparative analysis of simulation results and experts’ cognition was conducted. Results of analysis show that education for thermal bridge free design is required and solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of glazing should be addressed more seriously. The final design decision advisory 2D charts of influential parameters in two performance target levels showed potential of knowledge platform for all stakeholders during the design process. Although this study simulated and tested the potential of multi-stage optimization based on heating demand of the prototype rural house, the methodology could be expanded to the multi-objective optimization, including cooling and lighting consumptions.

THE EFFECTS OF INFORMATION PRODUCTION PROCESS ON EXPERIENCE AND EVALUATION

Research to date on the value of information has mostly focused on the consumption side of information, namely, that consumers need to experience information in order to evaluate it. When it comes to digital media, users have multiple roles. In this context, materiality is applied to assess the role that technological components play in the interaction between user and digital media. The concurrent consumption and production of information raises questions as to the influence of information production on information value perception. To this end, we conceptualize the information production process. The fundamental assumption in this research is that value perception changes as a result of production experience. Furthermore, this study examines the boundaries of value perception for producers of information. 309 participants took part in a set of experiments. Willingness-to-pay by consumers and willingness-to-accept payment by producers were measured before and after consumption/ production/ peer-production. Results show that consumers’ and producers’ subjective value before their experience were equivalent; Change in value perception before and after consumption/production produced a statistically significant effect; Producers who evaluate the information after the experience, evaluated it higher than producers who evaluated the information before the experience; and value perception measured before the production by a single producer is lower than value perception by peer-producers. Hypotheses were accepted. If accepted, additional results will be presented at the conference.

COMPETITIVENESS OF PRODUCTION AS A DETERMINING FACTOR OF EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF THE ENTERPRISE IN MARKET CONDITIONS

Production management is the main meaning of enterprise in production and management. Good production management can improve the efficiency of companies working, effectively manage the information of production process, and improve the overall competitiveness of enterprises. The production competition is the one of main task of the enterprise and the reason for it to survive in the fierce market economy competition. An enterprise that stands out from the market is recognized by the public and accepted by consumers, relying not only on the brand shaping of the enterprise, but also on the competitiveness of the enterprise's product production. To provide high-quality products and sufficient inventory for consumers and society has become an important factor for enterprises to base themselves on the market. The main aim of this article is to attract the attention of enterprise managers in the market and determine factors of effective management of the enterprise. Also in our research, we discuss competitiveness of production as a determining factor of effective management of the enterprise in market conditions. There are many factors that affect enterprises to gain competitive advantage. They are summarized as follows: production management cost, quality, flexibility, time, service and environmental protection. We discuss the characteristics of enterprise from the two aspects of the production and operation of the output factors management and the environmental element management: how to improve the production and operation management so as to improve the competitiveness of the enterprise. The thought method of the advanced production and operation management, the enterprises constantly inspect and improve the defects existing in the production and operation system in order to provide the market with a low price in time. High quality and diverse products or services, occupying a larger market share. The managers of the enterprise attach importance to the production competition, which is the first step in the operation of the enterprise, which will help the enterprise to stand in the invincible position. The prospects for further research in this area are related to increase the competitiveness and efficiency of enterprise management by introducing a set of measures to improve product quality. Key words: competitiveness of production; market conditions; production management, effective management; enterprise; competitive advantage.

Effects of the Changing Aspect of Accounting on Accounting Education Conducted in Turkey: A Research on Independent Audit

Accounting education in Turkey are given in the undergraduate and graduate levels. At all levels of accounting education, people gain different professional knowledge and skills. Trainees participate in the accounting information production process at different levels. Every work, every relationship, every work procedure, each process and each procedure have to be constantly changed in the organizations, so the members of the organization must be constantly changing. In today's conditions, life is becoming an important issue in exchange with new applications that institutions always create more value with innovation. According to the system approach, the systems that take information, energy, material from the environment, subject these inputs to the change process and output them in different forms to the environment, i.e. to other systems, are described as open systems. It is possible today for institutions to survive, to be able to update themselves according to changes in their environment, and to take advantage of the feedback process. Otherwise, institutions will show features of closed systems. Closed systems that are resistant to change will be entropic.

Political content management: new linguistic units and social practices

Continuous transformations of the socio-political space are affected by digital technologies, which are created by the representatives of the “digital immigrants” and communicated by the “digital natives” as various social projects. This trend offers new implications and innovative forms to conventional technologies (political, social) by transforming them into complex multicomponent systems; besides, this requires from the researchers revolutionary innovative analytical methods and tools, based on hybrid research approaches. Socio-political and linguistic methods in particular, are to be developed in order to analyze the current reality. Political culture transformation as affected by the digital technologies results in post-truth politics and fake news dissemination, which demands that the researchers study particular linguistic units (neologisms and hashtags produced by digital personalities), capable of modifying the information and news space which determines the socio-political agenda, and of inducing social action offline. Regarding new linguistic units from the point of view of political science and linguistics would allow for identifying the principle of the revolutionary new relationships between citizens, truth and social action. Many people using the online space as a primary source of political content reject critical thinking regarding the sources of this information and are affected by the “filter bubble,” which results in destructive practices of social engagement and manipulation of mass consciousness. Thus, there is a strong demand for modern mechanisms of political content management, since the causes, methods and mechanisms, as well as the participants of the process of information production and dissemination are very different from the ones that existed before the revolution in the information and communication technologies and the onset of Internet and social network technologies.

Hands on: Information Experiences as Sources of Value

Value perception increases when people engage in producing physical objects. However, information differs from physical objects by being intangible and easy‐to‐copy. Information as an experience good is inherently challenging to evaluate a priori; therefore, comparing value before and after different types of experience is likely to inform theory about users' preferences regarding information. Prior research mostly refers to consuming information and rarely considers the experience of producing information as a factor affecting information value. The current research compares the effect of experiencing online information through production and consumption processes on value perception. In a set of 6 experiments with 178 participants, willingness‐to‐pay by consumers and willingness‐to‐accept payment by producers are measured before and after consumption and production of information, independently and as repeated measures. In the experiments, we define and implement a framework for an information production process. The results show that the value of information is dynamic. Value perception increased after experiencing information, especially when people engaged in producing information compared to consuming it. This study offers a window toward the practical design of new digital information products.

Bilginin Dijitalleşmesi Bağlamında Akademik Üretim Mekanizmalarının Dönüşümü: Matbaadan Dijital Ortama Dergi Yayıncılığı

<div><!--block-->Journals as means of the production of academic knowledge are the platforms where academics share their work with readers. The journals today with the impact of technology are published online. The publications of electronic journals attract attention in the transformation of the production of information. They have provided diversity as an alternative to few published journals. Undoubtedly, the pressure of publication on academics has significant impact on this transformation. The increase of electronic journal publishing has increased the number of publications as well as contributing to diversification of the production of knowledge. It should be emphasized that worldwide transformations are also among the conditions entailing this type of publishing. Moreover, it is seen that journal publishing integrated to national or international congresses is one of the rising trends. The aim is to seek response to the question what academic information is by discussing advantages and disadvantages emerging with the changing system. Another significant research question is to discuss future concept of journals keeping negative and positive sides of electronic journal publications, and in the next step it is to make what information production processes will transform into questionable.&nbsp;</div>
