This thesis examines the roles of the New Zealand university in a knowledge society. Gaps in the literature of the New Zealand university in a contemporary context mean that the enquiry is informed by European and North American discussions of the educational requirements of a knowledge society. As the notions of the knowledge society and a liberal university education are both problematic and central to this enquiry, they are interrogated, in the second chapter, in some depth. A second review examines the work, recommendations and subsequent legislative outcomes of the Tertiary Education Advisory Commission (TEAC) policy process of 1999 to 2003. The principles of critical theory and critical policy scholarship inform these interpretative textual analyses. The two review chapters, which follow the introductory chapter, comprise the first part of the thesis. A description of the methodological framework employed throughout the project and a report of the findings of a survey of stakeholders follow. The discussion chapter comprises the third and final part of the thesis. The thesis seeks to distinguish the notion of the knowledge society from that of the neo-liberal approach to social and economic management. I argue that the notion of the knowledge society is viable in a range of socio-economic conditions. I suggest that the educational requirements of a knowledge society are better addressed when the scope of a university education is framed by holistic individual, social, and economic determinants, rather than rigid ideological imperatives such as those characteristic of neo-liberalism. A combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies is employed. Primary data are gathered by way of a postal questionnaire. The perceptions of three cohorts of stakeholders of the New Zealand university are analysed using both statistical and interpretative tools. Data gathered through a review of the literature of the university in relation to the notion of the knowledge society in New Zealand, North America, and various European contexts are analysed using a combination of critical and interpretive approaches. The major finding to emerge from the enquiry is that stakeholders of the New Zealand university associate an effective university education with breadth of learning. The notion of a liberal university education, with its attendant beyond-vocation curriculum assumptions, is not considered anachronistic by the majority of stakeholders surveyed during this project. Public and private sector employers and university students strongly associate a liberal university education with effective preparation for participation in a knowledge-intensive environment. Year 13 secondary students are less certain. A secondary finding is that most stakeholders consider that the research activities of the university academic should continue to inform university teaching, but that the teaching role is of growing importance, and therefore worthy of greater emphasis, in the context of a knowledge society. The project is intended to provoke further discussion around the relationship between the New Zealand university and the knowledge society. To date there has been little academic consideration of this relationship. The contribution of this thesis, relative to this gap, is therefore significant.

Streszczenie:
The period between 1688 and 1702 witnessed remarkable changes in the nature of public and private investment in England. From 1688 a host of joint-stock companies emerged, offering investors the opportunity to commit their capital to projects ranging from the manufacture of paper to the search for sunken treasure. Prompted by the exigencies of the Nine Years' War, the state also employed innovative tactics to attract money, it sold annuities, floated lottery schemes and authorised the incorporation of the Bank of England in 1694 and the New East India Company in 1698 on the condition that those companies functioned chiefly as vehicles to provide government funding. This thesis presents a comprehensive study of the choices and actions of the investors who enthusiastically embraced those new opportunities. It documents the rise of an active and surprisingly sophisticated market that facilitated a wide variety of investment strategies. Yet, the market was also subject to many failings. Facilities for managing risk were limited and it was often difficult for investors to access and analyse financial information. Furthermore, although the market attracted a diverse range of investors, activity came to be dominated by the few and, in some cases, individuals or groups acting in concert were able to manipulate the prices of securities. However, while these failings undoubtedly led to the destruction of some of the enterprises established during this period and contributed to the representation of financial investment as a dangerous and dishonest endeavour, the larger joint-stock companies proved remarkably resilient and surprisingly capable of retaining the trust of their shareholders. Hence the revolution in private and public finance did bring about permanent changes in investment habits and the institutions created during this period - the Bank of England, the National Debt and an active stock market - survived, flourished and became the foundation of London's financial system.

This dissertation is a critical examination of education via what I have termed the 'educational enterprise' run by Anglican Christian missions in north India c.1880-1915. It will focus in particular on the Gangetic plain, parts of Bengal, the Punjab and Central Provinces. The example of the United Provinces will be used to give context to missionary- Government relations, but will engage with arguments in upper and eastern India (especially Bengal) which are relevant to this research. The network of schools, their aims, orientation, and the degrees to which they were dependent upon Indian agency will all be considered. The first chapter begins with a review of the literature on colonial knowledge and Christian missions, and gives a brief review of religious debate and discourse in pre-British India. It then establishes the Protestant Christian theological context of the early-mid nineteenth century and delineates its development from a pugnacious confrontational one into a positivist and universal theology towards the late nineteenth century. Chapter II establishes the moral and economic context of education in late nineteenth century UP, accounting for religious instruction, the economic rationale for subsidising mission schools, the relationship between the two. It will further define the relationship between missions and Government. Chapter III defines the means and ends of mission schools, considers the degree to which they were dependent upon Indian agency and the impact of religious dialogue upon 'representations' of India. The reception and contestation of both religious and secular knowledge are dealt with in Chapter IV. Indian contestations of Orientalist and Christocentric scholarship receive particular attention. The development of a secular and religiously-plural educational sphere, as a by-product of missionary education, will be investigated in Chapter V. It considers the devaluation of the curriculum, investigates student hostels, Indian nationalism and their contribution to constructive nationalism. The infrastructural shortcomings of education will be addressed in Chapter VI, and ascertain the degree to which the enterprise reproduced Indian, European, and Christian values. Chapter VII will conclude with a review and offer insights into the relationships between Orientalism, religion and colonial Indian society.

Information technology, media, financial flows and consumer culture have long been acknowledged as transnational connective forces that spread ideas and values around the globe. This work proposes an alternative mechanism for such spread: development-focused civil society organizations. This thesis argues that such organizations constitute a backbone of connections that link a diversity of development actors and local communities into a network with global scope. While individual nodes in these civil society networks may not possess global reach, the network as a whole facilitates the far flung transfer of knowledge and ideas. This work focuses on the ways that knowledge is generated, transferred and renegotiated on both the global, national and local scale through such networks of development institutions. How are global discourses formed, adapted and spread via civil society into local communities? How do local communities interact with, change, implement or ignore the values, knowledge and rhetoric of global movements? How are communities shaped by these discourses and what role do they have in informing the discourses themselves? The project constructs two case studies of such 'knowledge networks' - two international foundations, their partner NGOs in the developing world (Kyrgyzstan and Kenya), and the local communities where the NGOs support ecologically-focused initiatives. The case studies demonstrate the complex and uneven ways in which knowledge and values are shared - and contested - within the networks. Ideas are transformed, adapted or ignored between different nodes, and yet the network retains enough common discourse and shared knowledge to function as a whole. Despite power imbalances, local actors remain agents, not subjects, in these networks and produce knowledge that is prized by other organizations and individuals in the networks. Civil society knowledge networks thus sculpt the content and application of knowledge across global movements, development-focused civil society organizations and local communities in the developing world.

The aim of this thesis is to critically examine drug prevention as a field of problematizations  – how drug prevention becomes established as a political technology within this field, how it connects to certain modes of governance, how and under which conditions it constitutes it’s problematic, the questions it asks,  it´s implications in terms of political participation and representation, the various bodies of knowledge through which it constitutes the reality upon which it acts, the limits it places on ways of being, questioning, and talking  in the world. The main analyses have been conducted in four separate but interrelated articles. Each article addresses a specific dimension of drug prevention in order to get a grasp of how this field is organized. Article 1 examines the shift that has occurred in the Swedish context during the period 1981–2011 in how drugs have been problematized, what knowledge has grounded the specific modes of problematization and which modes of governance this has enabled. In article 2, the currently dominant scientific discipline in the field of drug prevention – prevention science – is critically examined in terms of how it constructs the “drug problem” and the underlying assumptions it carries in regard to reality and political governance. Article 3 addresses the issue of communities’ democratic participation in drug prevention efforts by analyzing the theoretical foundations of the Communities That Care prevention program. The article seeks to uncover how notions of community empowerment and democratic participation are constructed, and how the “community” is established as a political entity in the program. The fourth and final article critically examines the Swedish Social and Emotional Training (SET) program and the political implications of the relationship the program establishes between the subject and emotions. The argument is made that, within the field of drug prevention, questions of political values and priorities in a problematic way are decoupled from the political field and pose a significant problem in terms of the possibilities to engage in democratic deliberation. Within this field of problematizations it becomes impossible to mobilize a politics against social injustice, poverty and inequality. At the same time, the scientific grounding of this mode of governing the drug “problem” acts to naturalize a specific – highly political – way of engaging with drugs.

Streszczenie:

This dissertation studies three interrelated concepts—power, knowledge, and mobility—in order to understand how knowledge mobility (specificity) affects power in the knowledge economy. To do this, the thesis is divided into two parts. The first part develops a theoretical approach, while the second employs this theoretical approach to different empirical fields. In the first, theoretical, part, the dissertation begins by discussing the different ways that the sundry literatures on power, asset specificity and knowledge types have developed. These literature reviews are used to develop a set of theoretically-deduced expectations in Chapter 5. These chapters contribute to broadening our understanding of the core concepts, especially asset and factor specificity, by explicitly linking them to the notion of knowledge mobility and to configurations of power.

The second part of the dissertation interrogates the expectations developed in Chapter 5 across three different venues: a case study of a regime change in a knowledge-intensive consultancy firm; cross-national multivariate statistical assessments on the relationship between specificity, knowledge, and configurations of power; and an historical case study of how the co-working of a set of international institutions—the World Intellectual Property Organization, the International Organization for Standardization, and the World Trade Organization—influences knowledge specificity and mobility. These empirical studies elaborate how knowledge mobility and power are interrelated. The chapters are suggesting that the degree of knowledge mobility may be seen as an element in otherwise well-known, empirical regularities. These sorts of similarities are revealed at all three (firm, national and international) levels.

The dissertation employs a broad methodological approach that swaps between analytical levels, alternative operationalizations, methods and causal interpretations. The resulting "montage effect" combines case studies, multivariate regressions, and institutional analyses to create a picture that may be seen as rich representation of a reality. This picture reveals that the specificity and mobility of assets matters for shaping and reshaping configurations of power.

This paper presents an advanced – international – blended learning arrangement. It has been developed, implemented and reviewed regularly in the last 4 years at the authors’ institution. Instead of referring solely to traditional classroom teaching, we use and continually refine this arrangement in our every-day formal teaching and learning processes at Technische Universitaet Dresden. By this we take into regard the changes induced by the Bologna Roadmap and try better to support its “new” didactical objectives: more interactive and interdisciplinary modules with focus upon the (practical) integration of professional and methodical responsibility, decision-making and soft skills.

Streszczenie:
This thesis investigates how social values align with changing patterns of economic development, work and quality of life in the European knowledge society. Conceptually, the thesis draws upon Richard Florida's Theory of the Creative Class (2002) and Human Values Theory as developed by Shalom Schwartz (1992). The research combines different methodological approaches and is structured in three parts. The first study involves a secondary data analysis of the European Social Survey that includes Schwartz's value inventory and other value related items. It aims at mapping the values of Florida's three key occupational groups: knowledge, service and manufacturing workers. While manufacturing workers were found to be distinct from knowledge and service workers, the latter two categories were rather similar. In addition, a mixture of liberal and traditional values characterised knowledge workers' value systems. Little empirical support was found for Schwartz's circumplex structure of values. The second part of the thesis, using two split-ballot experiments and cognitive interviews, explores the role of context in the conceptualisation and study of values. Drawing on the concept of 'behavioural spheres' (Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck, 1961), the operation of values in the familial, recreational and occupational sphere is examined. The findings show that many values demonstrated context specificity. In-depth interviews with Greek and British knowledge and service workers constitute the third and final study. I examine how workers' valuing processes delineate their creative endeavours to construct the meaning of work and good life, as embedded in the wider societal, economic, political and work contexts. Creativity focuses on how workers, create value meanings and enact values, combine different roles, make sense of their living and the world and deal with adversities. It was shown that the ability to transform work into a meaningful activity is not restricted to knowledge workers. The findings altogether did not corroborate Florida's proposal of an emerging creative class with distinct value orientations and Schwartz's model of a structure of universal values, captured in a set of binary oppositions. A range of challenges for policy making in the knowledge society is implied when authenticity rather than creativity - as defined by Florida- was found to delineate the European work ethos.

Streszczenie:
As radical innovations facilitate communication, create new industries and make others obsolete, the established ways of organising society are being questioned. Over the last few decades, a theoretical framework and a worldview labelled the entrepreneurial society, has emerged. The entrepreneurial society is based on theoretical models, empirical observations and a belief in the importance of new businesses. The core of the entrepreneurial society is the claim that valuable ideas have to be commercialised in order to contribute to economic growth and prosperity. Unfortunately, valuable ideas remain dormant due to a number of barriers. Labour mobility, informal networks and entrepreneurship are mechanisms with the potential of overcoming these barriers. This thesis aims to increase our understanding of how ideas diffuse between and get applied within organisations. The thesis relates its findings to the entrepreneurial society and identifies and critically assesses basic assumptions and biases underlying the framework. The thesis presents and discusses six studies, each published as an article in a scientific journal, a chapter in an edited book, or as a conference paper at an international academic conference. Taken together, the findings in this thesis emphasise that the mobility of ideas is intertwined with the mobility of people and knowledge. More specifically, the findings indicate that employees in large R&Ddriven projects not only attain knowledge from external sources, but also that the use of external knowledge sources is positively related to new ideas connected to the projects. In addition, this thesis reinforces the argument that the mobility of knowledge workers is particularly beneficial to the diffusion of knowledge and ideas between organisations; the results show that employees in knowledge-intensive positions perceive greater opportunities to generate, share and develop ideas in organisations, as compared to employees in less knowledge-intensive positions. This thesis suggests that new employees tend to have an entrepreneurial potential in the form of a greater drive for change and less habituation with current practices. Nevertheless, such potential is often curbed by resistant routines. However, the thesis also finds that much entrepreneurship literature and the discourse of policy makers are biased towards overly optimistic views of entrepreneurship. The literature on the entrepreneurial society emphasises the diffusion and application of new R&D-related knowledge and ideas. This thesis also emphasises the diffusion and application of already widespread and established knowledge, ideas and innovations.
I takt med att radikala innovationer underlättar kommunikation, skapar nya branscher och gör andra obsoleta, ifrågasätts etablerade sätt att organisera samhället. De senaste årtiondena har ett teoretiskt ramverk och en världsåskådning, under benämningen det entreprenöriella samhället, vuxit fram. Det entreprenöriella samhället baseras på teoretiska modeller, empiriska observationer och en tro på vikten av nya företag. Kärnan i det entreprenöriella samhället är tesen att värdefulla idéer måste kommersialiseras för att bidra till ekonomisk tillväxt och välstånd. Olyckligtvis förblir många idéer outnyttjade på grund av en mängd barriärer. Arbetskraftsrörlighet, informella nätverk och entreprenörskap är mekanismer med potential att övervinna dessa barriärer. Syftet med denna avhandling är att öka vår förståelse av hur idéer sprids mellan, och tillämpas inom, organisationer. Avhandlingen relaterar resultaten till det entreprenöriella samhället, samt identifierar och granskar ramverkets underliggande antaganden och blinda fläckar. Avhandlingen presenterar och diskuterar sex studier, var och en publicerad som en artikel i en vetenskaplig tidskrift, som ett kapitel i en akademisk antologi eller som ett bidrag till en internationell vetenskaplig konferens. Sammantaget understryker resultaten i avhandlingen att idéers rörlighet är sammanvävd med människors och kunskaps rörlighet. Resultaten tyder på att anställda i stora FoU-drivna projekt inte bara inhämtar kunskap från externa källor utan också att dessa källor är relaterade till nya idéer och lösningar på problem i projekten. Vidare förstärker resultaten tidigare forskning som hävdar att organisationsbyten bland människor med kunskapsintensiva arbeten särskilt bidrar till att idéer och kunskap sprids mellan organisationer; resultaten visar att anställda med kunskapsintensiva arbeten upplever större möjligheter att generera, föreslå och utveckla idéer jämfört med anställda i mindre kunskapsintensiva positioner. Avhandlingens resultat indikerar också att nyanställda har en större entreprenöriell potential än mer etablerade anställda. Detta för att nyanställda har en större förändringsbenägenhet och att de ännu inte är inskolade i etablerade arbetssätt. Denna potential hålls emellertid ofta tillbaka av motståndskraftiga organisatoriska rutiner. Dessutom hävdar avhandlingen att mycket av entreprenörskapslitteraturen och den politiska diskursen uppvisar en överoptimistisk syn på entreprenörskap. Litteraturen bakom det entreprenöriella samhället betonar spridningen och tillämpningen av forskningsnära kunskap. Denna avhandling betonar även vidare spridning av redan spridd och etablerad kunskap, samt redan spridda och etablerade idéer och innovationer.

Streszczenie:
Sayyid Qutb's conceptions of man and society inform and are themselves informed by his theory of human and divine knowledge. Our aim in this dissertation is, first, to highlight the intricate relationships between Qutb's ontology and his epistemology, and, second, to point to the active context of Qutb's discourse: how did his theory of man, society, and knowledge relate to his language of political dissent and his strategy for change and revolution? Qutb remains an enduring influence on young Muslims and has left a deep mark on the discourse of politically activist Islamism. An underlying concern that runs through our analysis will be to address the question: why is Qutb still relevant? The answer we provide highlights the inseparability between Qutb's conception of human nature, his paradigm for the just and ideal society, his theories on mundane and revealed epistemology, and his strategy for social and political reform. We shall argue that the Qutbian discourse endures because Qutb offers his co-religionists a powerfully integrated conception of the "Islamic solution" that achieves a unique blending between the values of "authenticity" and those of "modernity". Qutb's writings articulate an unapologetic "life-conception" of Islam that insisted on standing on par with other "life-conceptions"; Muslims could take pride in knowing that Islam exhorted development, but with an eye towards maintaining a "balance" between the "material" and the "spiritual", unlike communism and capitalism, which neglected "spirituality" in favor of "animal materialism"; the "Islamic conception" outlined by Qutb provided the reader with a conceptual framework within which a sophisticated critique of colonialism could be carried out. Moreover, Qutb also provided the modern Islamist with a vocabulary that gives voice to the economic and social concerns of an emerging lower middle class aspiring to fulfill its mundane dreams in modern, mid-20th century Egypt. The language Qutb used in his works was not the language of the elite intellectuals, whether Westernized modernists or traditional 'ulema. Qutb consciously articulated his thoughts in a language easily accessible to a readership literate enough to read his works, but not necessarily trained to actively penetrate the arcane corpus of the 'ulema. Upon reading Qutb and contrasting his language with that of his predecessors, it becomes clear that Qutb, more than any other thinker in the Egypt of his days, articulated a conception of Islam that consciously attempted to lay the foundations for an Islamic epistemology on the basis of a putatively Islamic ontology, denied the authority of "foreign life conceptions", claimed for Islam universal validity, asserted the active character of the "truly Muslim", decried the economic injustices which the masses were enduring, and rejected the traditional conception of the state as intrinsically benevolent. In short, his was a powerful call to merge the values of authenticity - unapologetic anti-imperialism, anti-elitism, and the insistence on the centrality of Islam - with the values of modernity - the impulse for asserting a comprehensive world-view, the pretension to universal validity, and the positive valuation of action and change in the context of welfare liberalism beholden to the will of the people.

Streszczenie:
Foresight has been increasingly acknowledged as a valuable policy-making process. It has evolved from informing policies about key technological fields that would be of outmost importance in the future to (re)orienting and opening up policies towards societal needs. The wide application of foresight would benefit from a common evaluation and assessment framework that hardly exists today. This would facilitate the identification of good practices irrespective of case-specific objectives while it would also allow for benchmarking and coordination of policies for socio-economic development. Such a common assessment framework would require a higher level of reference, i.e. the attainment of generic goals, beyond the specific objectives of each case. This higher level of reference is offered by the commonly agreed goal of the EU to become 'the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world' by also promoting participatory governance in ensuring sustainable development. Apart from their case-specific impacts, foresight exercises have wider impacts in terms of networks creation, actors' alignment, knowledge diffusion and creation, or promoting public engagement in policy-making. Thus, the two 'pillars' of the 'knowledge society' and 'participatory governance', are both relevant and feasible to become the generic level of goals where a common foresight impact assessment framework can be based. The thesis argues that such an assessment framework can be built based on the main features and pre-conditions of more participatory, 'knowledge societies' and the broader impacts of foresight systems. To this end, it starts with exploring the main features of modern societies and the pre-conditions of what may be called in future 'more participatory knowledge societies'. Then follows the examination of foresight literature to better understand the main functions and impacts of foresight systems and identify relevant areas of contribution in relation to more participatory, 'knowledge societies'. The foresight impact assessment framework is eventually built inspired by relevant frameworks and concepts of socio-economic and research programme evaluation in order to adequately address the challenges faced in foresight evaluation. Its validity is then tested through case studies. The case study analysis demonstrates the comprehensiveness of the framework and further refines the main hypotheses and associated success factors, leading to certain foresight principles to be taken on board for foresight exercises to contribute to more participatory, 'knowledge societies'.

Streszczenie:
Nowadays the entire process of creation and communication of knowledge is in the middle of a profound transformation. In the background there is our Web civilization, got used to a technology encapsulated into everyday objects, into multimedia devices and digital artifacts, or embedded within artificial environments and intelligent systems. Technology-augmented tools are offering the possibility of expanding natural boundaries, of enriching our senses and awareness, of pervading every single moment of our life. The thesis tries to approach what is happening in our Knowledge Society, where new technological devices and tools are modifying our lifestyles and activities, pervading the environments where we conduct academic research, read write or publish new cultural contents, teach and learn at school: social and academic networks, virtual and augmented worlds, tablets and e-readers, large interactive screens and Interactive WhiteBoards are populating our space and time, changing our way of generating and sharing knowledge. After deepening the Knowledge Society concept and future perspectives, the aim of the thesis is to describe some of the latest possibilities offered by the mutated technological scenario, such as Ubiquitous Computing paradigm, new interfaces, virtual/augmented world opportunities, and reflect upon the new social behaviors and paradigms that can rise: the description of different case studies and personal experimentations will show new participating opportunities and the deconstruction of established roles within research, cultural and educational contexts.

Because knowledge and information are becoming the vital resources, appropriate organization and management of them is considered to be the guaranty of the welfare of every state, organization and individual. There could be recognized the stronger attention to institutions that are traditionally related to knowledge and information. Because of the growing strategic importance of information and communication technologies in modern organisations, academic libraries remain a significant unit in the institutions of higher education. The theoretical outline of the importance of academic library strategy in the knowledge society in this dissertation is disclosed by exposing the concept of these libraries as organisations, introducing the concept of the evolution of strategy of these libraries, and evaluating changes taking place in the world’s academic libraries.

Streszczenie:
Fishing is an ancient way of food gathering, which has been instrumental for the healthy living of many people, for many years. Nowadays, fishing is particularly important to developing countries since the value of fish surpasses that of agricultural commodities such as sugar and rice. People living along the coast have been harvesting marine resources for basic subsistence for generations and at present several small-scale fisheries operate along the South African coastline, ranging from the shore-based harvesting of intertidal resources such as mussels, to the targeting of migratory line-fish stocks using small motorized vessels. Due to their high dependence on marine resource harvesting, small-scale fishers (SSF) are among the most vulnerable socio-economic groups, and while small-scale fisheries employ the vast majority of the world's fishers, they are often marginalized and ignored. The lack of appropriate governance in South African small-scale fisheries has made it hard for fishers to benefit from the resources that are readily available to them. However, changes within fisheries management practices have led to the move from conventional resource-centred strategies to management approaches that recognize the complexity of the sector. The new small-scale fisheries policy, currently in its implementation phase, embraces many of these new approaches but does not necessary prepare small-scale fishers to actively participate in the co-management of their resources. Furthermore, the lack of reliable data and information about small-scale fisheries, due to historical marginalisation, is currently one of the primary challenges facing the sector in the country, and preventing small-fishers from demonstrating to policy makers the potential of the sector to contribute towards food security and poverty eradication. The purpose of this study was to explore the potential of a mobile app in bringing about a co-production of fisheries knowledge and stimulating the co-management of fisheries, using the fishing communities of Lambertsbaai on the West Coast and Struisbaai along the South Coast as case studies. The research aimed to understand and assess the concerns and uncertainties of formalizing the mobile app (Abalobi) and explore if the mobile app can entice fishers' enthusiasm towards the implementation of

En la actualidad existen muchos programas en la televisión peruana con el objetivo de entretener a un público que cree que lo que ve es divertido, dinámico e informativo, pero en realidad, es solo presentar personajes cuya vida llamen la atención a los televidentes y genere con esto, titulares. Tales como se ve en los periódicos “chichas”, los cuales utilizan la vida y escándalos de los demás para hacer de esto, un tema de interés público y así aumentar la comercialización del medio (el periódico informante). Mediante este documento se busca entender un poco más de el por qué la telebasura tiene tanta acogida en la población. También se podrá entender ¿Quiénes son los verdaderos responsables de que la telebasura se mantenga en nuestra pantalla? Por un lado, el sector privado que se respalda bajo la idea de la libre empresa o la población, que ha desarrollado la idea de que la televisión es un medio para la distracción y la diversión. En el presente documento se analizaran cuatro manifestaciones presentes en la televisión que hacen que este medio este en decadencia. Primero se analizara la presencia de la prensa amarillista en la televisión peruana. Se dará a conocer las causas por las cuales dicha prensa logra influir en la sociedad al manipular la opinión pública. En la segunda parte de la monografía se ha logrado identificar una serie de estereotipos que se manifestaran con una serie de ejemplos que facilitaran la comprensión del tema. Después, se relacionara la telebasura con el interés de los sectores privados, para que dicho estilo de televisión prevalezca en nuestras pantallas. Finalmente, se mostrara un breve panorama de la situación de la mujer en la televisión peruana que pese a que la población ya ha desarrollado ideas más inclusivas y adecuadas para un país en vías de desarrollo; en contraste, la telebasura presenta a la mujer como un objeto de estimulación sexual ya sea mediante los programas o la prensa sensacionalista. Con el objetivo de que la monografía sea interpretada de manera adecuada, se relacionaran las repercusiones en la sociedad peruana por parte de la telebasura, con algunos conocimientos ya aprendidos. En primer lugar, se eligió como primer pilar de la monografía La teoría del juego del lenguaje de Wittgestein, que como ya se podrá comprobar la tele basura no respeta aquel principio que nos dice que el lenguaje es una representación pictórica de la realidad. En segundo lugar, otro pilar del presente trabajo es el Humanismo y los medios de comunicación que nos refleja los cambios drásticos que han sufrido los medios como la televisión.

Childhood immunization is acknowledged as being a crucial health intervention for children. Immunization rates of children may vary depending on their parents' knowledge and attitudes about the issue. The focus of this study is on parents' knowledge and attitudes about immunization, and employs Urie Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory. A questionnaire was administered to 233 parents in India to explore the issues of parental immunization knowledge and attitudes. Correlates of parental knowledge and attitudes that were explored included gender, education, respondents' immunization status, and children's immunization status. Sources of parental knowledge about immunization were also examined. Overall, parents in this sample had a high level of awareness and positive attitudes about immunization. Parents' knowledge about immunization was correlated with their attitudes on immunization. Gender was correlated with parents' knowledge about immunization, but not their attitudes, with females having greater awareness about immunization than males. Parental education, parental immunization status, and children's immunization status were positively correlated with both knowledge and attitudes about immunization. Doctors and health care settings were the major sources of information abo ut immunization for parents in this sample. Implications for research, policy, and education are discussed.

Pretest data from a two-year project entitled "An Early Intervention Program for Parents of Young Children at-Risk" were collected and analyzed, in a sample of 2,191 low-income parents, for Head Start participation and baseline information. Respondents participating in the sample were from the states of California, Delaware, Nevada, South Carolina, and Utah. For their participation in the study, respondents received a free subscription to age-paced newsletters, which contained information about appropriate growth expectancies, nutrition, and guidance for their child of 36 months or younger. Newsletters were mailed monthly to parents who had children 12 months and younger and every other month to parents with children older than 12 months. Knowledge of infant/toddler development among Head Start and non-Head Start parents was measured by i-test comparisons. Univariate analysis of demographic influences on developmental knowledge was computed by a oneway ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficients. Demographic variables measured were state of residence, race, educational level, marital status, employment status, attitude, income level, number of children, supplemental programs, and age of parent. Findings revealed that Head start parents did not have a significantly greater knowledge of infant/toddler development than non-Head start parents who had more than one child. Developmental knowledge scores were higher for Head start parents than non-Head start first-time parents. All participating Head start parents had at least two children, one in the Head start program and one other child 25 months or younger. There were differences in developmental knowledge scores by state of residence, race, educational level, marital status, and employment status. Demographic variables found to have a positive correlation with developmental knowledge scores were attitude, income level, number of children, and age of parents. There was a negative correlation with the effect of supplemental programs. Programs tested for this effect were AFDC, Food stamps, Medicaid, WIC, Social Security, and Head Start. A greater proportion of Head Start parents participated in these income-assistance programs, which may have influenced their scores for child development knowledge .

Streszczenie:
This thesis is an investigation into fundamental questions concerning the aims, purpose and goals of the university within the emerging 21st Century post-industrial, Knowledge Society (KS). Inquiries of this nature are often referred to as the 'idea' of the university and whilst a growing academic literature questions what an 'idea' for the institution may look like in light of the arguably unique context of the Knowledge Society, it has yet to be fully addressed. In order to do so, this thesis is methodologically framed by the sociological school of neo-institutionalism. This is a perspective within institutional theory which views institutions as not passive recipients of social values but able to dictate their own ideals upon society. The university in this view becomes a 'primary institution' capable to imprint its values upon the KS and thus giving it a prominent role in that society. In order to articulate an 'idea' of the university, the thesis begins with a critical review of the literature, specifically the manner in which university-KS relations are conceived. This concludes with a summative statement about such relations in the form of the 'problem of knowledge' i.e. an attitude which increasingly reduces knowledge in the university to means-end and economic propositions. An alternative conceptualisation is proposed which offers an optimistic approach to the university in the KS, one conceived through presumptions by the neo-institutionalist school and coined 'Knowledge Plasticity'. As there are no formal methods for creating an 'idea', the second part of the thesis undertakes an extensive review of seminal works in the field revealing three conditions to which such proposals generally conform. Taken together, these conditions serve as the methodological frame for creating an 'idea' for the university. The first of these, contextual clarity, having been achieved through the literature review, moves to the second condition, theoretical development, and entails an exploration of Knowledge Plasticity. This investigation reveals a 'tension of imbalance' within this concept which the 'idea' of the university must resolve, this being the final condition of the 'idea'. In order to do this, the 'University of Imagination' is identified as the 'idea' whose purpose is to bring about dynamic balance within the institution. Finally, the proposed University of Imagination is compared with the classical Liberal university suggesting a more effective means for the liberal 'idea' to become realised in the KS namely, through engaging with the former. As a philosophical contribution to the literature, the University of Imagination encourages us to be optimistic and emboldened by the project of education and offers a path to navigate the challenges and uncertainties facing the university in the 21st Century.

This thesis examines the reconstruction of Lebanon following the war with Israel in the summer of 2006. Based on Stehr’s notion of the contemporary global economy (1994), the thesis offers a comprehensive account of how Lebanon used a global network to rebuild its infrastructure following the war and questions if the country is able to integrate fundamental elements of a knowledge-based society to participate in a worldwide economy and ensure future prosperity. Drawing on Luhmann’s social system’s theory (2002), the importance of shared objectives in collaborative projects and the recent importance of sustainable development theory in international relations, the thesis explores the communication practices used to organize this large-scale project. The study utilizes a qualitative research design with a macroscopic conceptual approach to offer a general understanding of the different systems that cooperate to aid in the reconstruction efforts. In-depth interviews are conducted with ten key informants, combined with the analysis of governmental reports, to identify significant investments offered by the international community and the different objectives of those involved in the project. A model illustrates the dynamics of these interactions, and helps to identify the areas most important to the country’s knowledge society. The protection of the country’s democratic system is identified as the overarching and shared objective of all those who contributed to the reconstruction of Lebanon, a value that is of great significance to a knowledge-based society.

Streszczenie:
The aim of this thesis is to bring into creative dialogue two contemporary, and allegedly contradictory, developments: the rise of ‘alternative agro-food networks’ (AAFNs) and the vision of a knowledge-based (bio)economy (KB(B)E). Despite the rich theoretical investigations that indicate both developments’ great potential impact on the current and future socio-political and economic order, there has been little attempt towards an identification of their interrelationship. Taking into consideration earlier relevant studies, this thesis mainly employs a political-economic approach to AAFNs and the KB(B)E. Based on interviews and participant observation with alternative agro-food practitioners in Cumbria and Manchester, and official documents and internet sources, it aims to identify the particular knowledge-economic and moral-economic aspects of AAFNs, and, thereby shed some light on their interrelationship with the KB(B)E. In doing so, it further investigates the ‘alternative’ character of AAFNs in relation to the KB(B)E and identifies those particular aspects and ways through which AAFNs can carry a potential to constitute an alternative to the existing KB(B)E, but also be considered as an alternative KB(B)E, one with distinctive moral-economic characteristics. Through such an assessment, this thesis not only contributes to the enhancement of knowledge and understanding of both developments, but also encourages a critical re-thinking of each of them. In particular, by providing some critical insights into the potential role of AAFNs in the configuration and future re-construction of the contemporary knowledge-economic order, it also aims to suggest a re-consideration of the KB(B)E itself: beyond its capitalocentric assumptions, its association with high-tech innovation and its current manifestation in policy recommendations and research agendas. In doing so, it also encourages the identification of other potential, though currently marginalised, alternative knowledge-economic spaces that can carry extra-economic values and socio-economic benefits and that can potentially lead to a re-configuration of the sustainable agro-food system.

This study analyses the politics of knowledge, through the political that was the call to dissolve the Philosophical Society of Southern Africa (PSSA); a call that was made at the 2017 January Annual Conference at Rhodes University, Eastern Cape – South Africa. An analysis of knowledge as political seeks to demonstrate how the philosophical community situates decoloniality in our context, necessitating that social theorists respond meaningfully. The study demonstrates how an analysis of the PSSA, highlights the political and historical machinations that influence the knowledge project. The call to dissolve the PSSA revealed the political and historical machinations of the knowledge project, along with the rationale of the decolonial philosopher, i.e. revealing loci of enunciation(s). The study therefore, locates the discipline of Philosophy within the decolonial debate that presently preoccupies the contemporary scholar and the University, more broadly. I highlight how the call to dissolve the PSSA offers insights into decolonial struggles while substantiating the claim of Knowledge as Political. The speakers’ loci of enunciation reveal the author’s political underpinnings and how these influence their knowledge claims. Revealing the politics of knowledge is aligned with the aims of the decolonial philosopher who attempts to respond to epistemic injustices. In response to epistemic injustices that are both historically situated, while highlighting the political motivations of the knowledge project, I propose the use of the Black Archive. The Black Archive is constitutive of the works of Black/Indigenous literato, poets, musicians and artists who were thinking through and theorising the Fact of Blackness/Indigeneity even as they were excluded from knowledge production institutions; i.e. the South African University.

Streszczenie:
The processes by which individuals learn how to perceive, interpret and think about their environment are not completely understood. Sixty years of anthropological studies of indigenous environmental knowledge have largely focused on language-like classification systems. These studies typically revolve around (a) conceptual knowledge such as categories, taxonomies and the functionality of certain flora and fauna and (b) the social mechanisms such as language through which they are transmitted. These approaches have been successful in highlighting variation and continuity between cultures, but more recent studies have shown that environmental knowledge varies within cultures and communities. Research conducted in Bali, Indonesia demonstrates how social labor and symbolic systems may influence several aspects of environmental knowledge, such as perceptual skills, interpretive metaphors and emic models of ecological interactions. The findings in this study address gaps in the literature on how indigenous environmental knowledge emerges, and also supplements the largely theoretical literature on the phenomenology and epistemology of labor.

This thesis aims to highlight the problems with statutory employment protection available to workers when the employer imposes new qualification requirements in connection with the reorganization. The purpose of this thesis is also that from an intersectional perspective, examine the societal implications employers for new skill requirements, in the knowledge society. The methods used to fulfill the purpose of the essay is legal dogmatic. This has been applied in order to determine what is the law in relation to the new qualification requirements at the reorganization of the business. Furthermore has a sociological analysis applied to study the social implications employers new qualification requirements may be. This analysis has assumed an intersectional perspective of power. The conclusions that emerged through the essay indicates the law of today primarily protects workers with formal qualifications as university education or vocational training. Informal qualifications in terms of experience and length of employment is not as highly valued. Furthermore, it has been concluded that the strongest protection for workers in today's labor is itself being an active part in providing themselves with the skills and knowledge their current job seems to require. The impact of the new formal proficiency requirements may in society from an intersectional perspective are that it shapes new classes in society by those who lack the required qualifications tend to be marginalized from the labor market. Hardened seems the workers suffer who established themselves in the labor market at a time when traditional production professions and other less skilled occupations did not require training. Employers new qualification requirements may thus negative effects on many older workers but also other workers who lack the education and workers with different ethnicity. Changed qualification requirements may thus be justification for structural discrimination. Partly by qualification requirements in itself makes some people do not achieve the requirements, but also to the legislation today formally fair and neutral, which means that it does not take into account substantive injustice and people's different conditions to acclimatize to the new labor market qualification requirements.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO
O ponto central a partir do qual se desdobra a análise objeto da presente tese é a transformação dos processos de trabalho que acompanha as inovações tecnológicas das últimas décadas e sua força transformadora da sociedade e da economia política internacional. O que se pretende é estabelecer um nexo entre a dinâmica mutuamente transformadora do trabalho, a organização social e a tendência expansiva da economia política capitalista, agora em novo estágio ou modo de acumulação identificada nesta tese como o capitalismo cognitivo. A característica desta nova feição do modo de acumulação capitalista é a flexibilidade permitida pela participação crescente do capital fixo contra a diminuição em proporções ainda maiores da participação do trabalho vivo na distribuição de resultados da atividade produtiva. Essa característica se combina com uma disputa entre, de um lado, um processo de materialização dos bens intangíveis por meio da privatização do trabalho intelectual reificado em conhecimento e transformado em capital fixo e, de outro, uma forte tendência à desmaterialização do resultado da atividade produtiva que acompanha as inovações tecnológicas recentes. Identificamos este como o dilema central do capitalismo cognitivo. A desmaterialização a que nos referimos é representada pela falta de obstáculos à reprodução infinita de conhecimento transformado em mercadoria/dados aplicado amplamente em toda a atividade produtiva. Sendo assim, o processo de desmaterialização possibilita a oferta infinita do bem em torno do qual se desenvolve o capitalismo cognitivo, dando fim à escassez e consequentemente banalizando o valor e produzindo uma crise para o sistema conceitual usado para explicar a maneira como as sociedades organizam sua atividade produtiva visando à acumulação de riqueza. Da mesma forma, a tendência à desmaterialização se apresenta na criação de novas redes de poder social, cuja fonte de alimentação e vias de difusão são viabilizadas pelas novas tecnologias, promovendo, consequentemente uma crise para o sistema conceitual usado para explicar a produção de recursos de poder que determina a distribuição no sistema internacional de resultados da atividade produtiva e das vantagens das inovações tecnológicas.
The core problem from which the analysis object of this thesis unfolds its main claims is the transformation of the work process provoked by the technological innovation of the latest decades and its potential of changing the society and the International Political Economy. Its aim is to set a link between the mutually transforming dynamics of work, social organization and the expansive trend of the capitalist political economy, now in a new stage or mode of accumulation, here called the cognitive capitalism. The character of this new face of the capitalist mode of accumulation is the flexibility permitted by the increasing participation of fix capital against the decrease in higher proportions of the participation of labour force on the distribution of the results of the productive activity in general. This character combines itself with a dispute between, in one side, a materialization process of intangible goods through the privatization of intellectual work reified in knowledge transformed in fix capital and, in the other side, a strong tendency towards dematerialization of the productive activity following the recent technological innovation. We identify this combination as the central dilemma of cognitive capitalism. The dematerialization we refer to is represented by the absence of obstacles to the endless reproduction of knowledge transformed in commodity/data widely applied in any and all productive activity. Therefore, the dematerialization process allows the endless offer of the good around which cognitive capitalism develops, putting and end in the scarcity problem and consequently banalizing the value and producing a crises in the conceptual system used to explain the way through each societies organize its productive activities with the purpose of wealth accumulation. The dematerialization tendency presents itself also through the construction of new networks of social power, with its sources and via of diffusion created and reinforced by the new technologies, promoting, consequently, a crises in the conceptual system used to explain the production of power resources which determine the distribution in the International system of the productive activity results and technological innovation advantages.

Previous histories of the Society have attempted to accommodate it within normative accounts of industrial development; or have celebrated its philanthropic intentions; or have focused on one aspect of its multifarious activities. I argue that the Society should be interpreted as a place where a wide-ranging public ethos and the promotion of public knowledge were meant to coexist. This meant a collision between an ethos of gentlemanly many-mindedness and the particular interests of individual trades, fraught negotiations about the question of the public, and involvement in practices of natural knowledge which were intended to render tacit knowledge explicit. How far any of this activity actually encouraged manufactures or commerce is debatable: nevertheless, the Society offers a vantage point from which we can see the difficulty of coordinating and aggregating local exemplary achievements and inventions. Individual chapters consider the Society's efforts in the fields of mechanics, import substitution, agriculture, and tree planting.

Chapter I sets out the problems which have been raised by the rapid internationalisation of Japan. Holmes' 'problem solving approach' is used to describe problems emerging since the 1960s. The difficulties which Japan faces in international organisations and at home are observed. Changes in the international relations of Japan and the 'no-change' in the traditional 'mental states' of Japanese people create a general problem. The analysis made of the general problem in Chapter I indicates that it will be necessary to develop various models for further analysis. The extent to which Japan has been internationalised in practide is examined. A distinction is drawn between the specific ana general international features of the process. Features which are obstacles to the internationalisation of Japan are identified and related to the internationalisation of education. A number of models are then presented which can be used to analyse the problem. For example, in Chapter II, three ideal models of man, society, and knowledge are constructed. Traditional and modern models are based on Max Weber's social theory, and the concepts of the United Nations' Charter are used for the international model. In Chapter III, an ideal Japanese model of society, man, and knowledge is constructed. The traditional and modern models, constructed in Chapter II, are used to analyse the important legislation in Japan in two periods; between 1868 and 19 45 based on the Imperial Oath of Five Articles and after 1945 based on the Japanese Constitution of 19L6. In Chapters III and IV the Japanese models are used to identity traditional and modern features of man, society, and knowledge, in the fields of politics, economics, education, and society. Through the study of practice the extent to which traditional features are maintained and modern features are rejected can be discovered. In Chapter VI attention is given to the internationalisation of education. An examination of the internationalisation of Japan indicates the role education might play. Government and nongovernment proposals to eliminate problems in an international society and to promote the internationalisation of Japan are examined and the proposed policies are assessed in practice. As a consequence, the author's recommendation is that the internationalisation of education should be achieved through the education of child returnees by giving them bilingual instruction. Chapter VII concludes the overall analysis and presents the author's recommendations.

This thesis examines the relationship that is emerging between the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and what many international relations scholars refer to as 'global civil society'. It focuses on the interactions and dialogue that have taken place between the WTO and representatives of 'global civil society' around one particularly controversial and widely-debated set of issues: ongoing debates about the WTO's Trade Related Intellectual Property Agreement (TRIPS) and the protection of 'traditional knowledge' and 'biodiversity'. Drawing on governmentality theory and other elements of Foucauldian thought, the thesis examines the practices and processes that 'structure the possible field of action' (Foucault 1983: 221) of non-state actors who seek to feed into policy debates at the WTO, and the patterns of inclusion and exclusion that result from these. The empirical data underpinning the analysis has been generated in a number of geographical sites - Geneva, Switzerland and Lima, Cusco, Iquitos and Puno in Peru - using a 'multi-sited' ethnographic approach. The analysis developed throughout the thesis illuminates some of the processes of filtering and erasure that occur when differently situated civil society organisations attempt to contribute to the same policy debate. It also highlights the very different roles played by Northern and Southern civil society organisations in the governance of traditional knowledge and biodiversity. The thesis thereby opens up new lines of enquiry into the forms of restriction and control which operate in and through the social spaces in which civil society interacts with the WTO, and the implications of these for processes of participation and representation in global governance.

Cyber attacks by domestic and foreign threat actors are increasing in frequency and sophistication. Cyber adversaries exploit a cybersecurity skill/knowledge gap and an open society, undermining the information security/privacy of citizens and businesses and eroding trust in governments, thus threatening social and political stability. The use of open digital hacking technologies in ethical hacking in higher education and within broader society raises ethical, technical, social, and political challenges for liberal democracies. Programs teaching ethical hacking in higher education are steadily growing but there is a concern that teaching students hacking skills increases crime risk to society by drawing students toward criminal acts. A cybersecurity skill gap undermines the security/viability of business and government institutions. The thesis presents an examination of opportunities and risks involved in using AI powered intelligence gathering/surveillance technologies in ethical hacking teaching practices in Canada. Taking a qualitative exploratory case study approach, technoethical inquiry theory (Bunge-Luppicini) and Weick’s sensemaking model were applied as a sociotechnical theory (STEI-KW) to explore ethical hacking teaching practices in two Canadian universities. In-depth interviews with ethical hacking university experts, industry practitioners, and policy experts, and a document review were conducted. Findings pointed to a skill/knowledge gap in ethical hacking literature regarding the meanings, ethics, values, skills/knowledge, roles and responsibilities, and practices of ethical hacking and ethical hackers which underlies an identity and legitimacy crisis for professional ethical hacking practitioners; and a Teaching vs Practice cybersecurity skill gap in ethical hacking curricula. Two main S&T innovation risk mitigation initiatives were explored: An OSINT Analyst cybersecurity role and associated body of knowledge foundation framework as an interdisciplinary research area, and a networked centre of excellence of ethical hacking communities of practice as a knowledge management and governance/policy innovation approach focusing on the systematization and standardization of an ethical hacking body of knowledge.

Participatory approaches in knowledge generation have become increasingly important in understanding our environments and integrating human and natural systems. Such approaches have been used to discover new species, address environmental injustices, and develop land management practices. However, frameworks and models used to explore participatory approaches tend to be oversimplified or focus on a specific component. Here, I present an integrated multi-tiered framework to gain insight into how project context and design interact to create outcomes that shape the socio-ecological system. The framework accounts for the nested scales, i.e. ecological, societal, and individual, of both the context and the outcomes. I then demonstrate the utility of the framework by applying it to two case studies in Ecuador: 1.) a climate change monitoring network and 2.) Andean bear para-biologists. Using this framework, it was evident that in both projects, gendered landscapes and how participants engaged were primary factors in shaping outcomes.

Cette thèse a pour ambition d’explorer d’un point de vue théorique et applicatif le paradigme de l’in-band enrichment. Emergence de la société des connaissances, le concept de média enrichi renvoie à toute association de métadonnée (textuelle, audiovisuelle, code exécutable) avec un média d’origine. Un tel principe peut être déployé dans une large variété d’applications comme la TVNi - Télévision Numérique interactive, les jeux ou la fouille des données. Le concept de l’inband enrichement conçu et développé par M. Mitrea et son équipe au Département ARTEMIS de Télécom SudParis, suppose que les données d’enrichissement sont insérées dans le contenu même à enrichir. Ainsi, un tel concept peut-il tirer parti de techniques de tatouage, dès lors que celles-ci démontrent qu’elles ont la capacité d’insérer la quantité d’information requise par ce nouveau type d’application : i.e. 10 à 1000 fois plus grande que celle nécessaire pour les enjeux d’authentification ou de protection de droit d’auteur. Si par tradition la marque est insérée dans le domaine non compressé, les contraintes relatives aux nombreuses applications émergentes (comme la VoD – Vidéo à la Demande ou la TVNi) font du tatouage en temps réel dans le domaine compressé un important défi théorique et applicatif. Cependant, le tatouage dans le domaine compressé est une alliance de mots contradictoires puisque la compression (élimination de la redondance) rend l’hôte plus sensible aux modifications et l’association hôte/marque, plus fragile
The present thesis, developed at Institut Télécom Télécom SudParis under the “Futur et Rupture” framework, takes the challenge of exploring from both theoretical and applicative points of views the in band enrichment paradigm. Emerged with the knowledge society, the enriched media refers to any type of association which may be established between some metadata (textual, audio, video, exe codes...) and a given original media. Such a concept is currently deployed in a large variety of applications like the iDTV (interactive Digital TV), games, data mining... The incremental notion of in band enrichment advanced at the ARTEMIS Department assumes that the enrichment data are directly inserted into the very original media to be enriched. In real life, in band enrichment can be supported by the watermarking technologies, assuming they afford a very large data payload, i.e. 10 to 1000 larger than the traditional copyright applications. The nowadays advent of the ubiquous media computing and storage applications imposes an additional constraint on the watermarking techniques: the enrichment data should be inserted into some compressed original media. A priori, such a requirement is a contradiction in terms, as compression eliminates the visual redundancy while the watermarking exploits the visual redundancy in order to imperceptibly insert the mark

The HIV epidemic in South Africa is among the worst in the world with an estimated 5.7 million people living with HIV in 2007 (UNAIDS, 2008). South Africa's national education system has responded to the epidemic by introducing Life Skills HIV education across primary and secondary-level schools to promote HIV prevention, care and support among school learners. In particular, the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) has recommended that all teachers integrate HIV education across the curriculum. The Norms and Standards for Educators (NSE) policy document states that each pre-service teacher (PST) must meet 'community, citizenship and pastoral' practitioner roles; these roles entail student counselling, awareness and knowledge of issues impacting the community and corresponding support services, and promotion of HIV awareness in the school curriculum. HIV/AIDS education literature indicates that PST responses to teacher roles and responsibilities vary, and are often greatly influenced by the experiences PSTs bring with them into the teacher-training programme. This dissertation aimed to explore factors that shape PST identities in response to their HIV/AIDS teaching roles and responsibilities as outlined by the NSE policy document and the WCED. Research was conducted with a cohort of PSTs who attended the Post Graduate Certificate teachertraining programme at the University of Cape Town in 2007. A combination of qualitative and quantitative methods was used with a sample group of 81 PSTs. In total, 50 PSTs were surveyed and 19 PSTs were involved in 3 focus group discussions and 15 in-depth interviews. Findings from this study indicate that PSTs bring an array of their own experience, knowledge and perceptions to the teacher-training programme which ultimately shape and contribute to the teacher identity they create in responding to HIV/AIDS teaching roles and responsibilities. Based on evidence from the study, this thesis argues that the PST's experience, knowledge and perceptions of HIV I AIDS should be considered when developing teacher-training programmes in order to promote a comprehensive and effective response to HIV through the education sector in South Africa.

This dissertation follows British professors at Tokyo's late nineteenth century College of Technology (Kobudaigaku) and continues into the twentieth century with the Japanese students they trained. My first chapters map out an argument between British disciplines over Japanese 'adaptation' and/or 'resistance' to nature, a conflict driven by the development of the modem science of seismology in Tokyo. Seismology was a unique cross-cultural project - a 'Western' instrumental science invented and first institutionalized in a non-Western place. I discuss bow artifacts as diverse as seismographs, five-story wooden pagoda, and Mt. Fuji became 'boundary objects' in a fierce dispute between spokesmen for science and an over the character of the Japanese landscape and people. The latter chapters explain bow young Japanese architects and seismologists re-mapped the discursive and instrumental terrains of their British teachers, challenging foreign knowledge-production from inside colonizing disciplines. The text is framed around the story of the Great Nobi Earthquake of 1891. According to contemporary Japanese narratives, the great earthquake (the most powerful in modem Japanese history) was particularity damaging to the new 'foreign' infrastructure, and caused Japanese to seriously question, for the first time, the efficacy of foreign knowledge. 'Japan's earthquake problem' went from being one of bow to import European resistance into a fragile nation, to one of how to make a uniquely fragile imported infrastructure resist the power of Japanese nature. I critically re-tell this Japanese story as a corrective to European and American images of Meiji .Japan as a 'pupil country' and the West as a 'teacher culture'. "Foreign Knowledge" demonstrates in very concrete ways bow science and technology, art and architecture, gender, race, and class co-constructed Meiji Japan. Distinctions between 'artistic' and 'scientific' representations of culture/nature were particularly fluid in late nineteenth century Tokyo. Architects in my text often speak in the name of science and seismologists become an critics and even ethnographers. The narrative is also trans-national; centered in Tokyo, it follows Japanese architects, scientists, and carpenters to Britain, Italy, the United States, and Formosa.

Le développement à l'ère du numérique pourrait devenir très complexe alors que les données et les informations disponibles sont en "obésité" croissante. L'information provient du monde entier et il est nécessaire de l’adapter pour telle ou telle région. C’est pourquoi il est important de pouvoir filtrer l'information. Dans les pays en développement, beaucoup d'internautes considèrent Internet comme le media social (Surman, 2017) alors que beaucoup de jeunes des pays développés sont incapables de distinguer contenus promotionnels, articles ou annonces de leurs résultats de recherches (Shellenbarger, 2016). Comment filtrer les données et les informations nécessaires, en particulier dans les pays en développement ? L'utilisation de moteurs par grappes et d’index de bases de données d'enquêtes méthodologiques via le Web 2.0 (Jacques et al, 2009) pourrait être une alternative pour les pays en développement, en particulier pour ce qui concerne les coûts, ainsi que l’utilisation de la documentation de recherche gouvernementale, en particulier française et américaine, comme celle d’organisations utilisant le numérique comme Fablab, Rempli, Lilan, NREN, Mozilla Foundation, Code.org, AP4DE. La collaboration entre chercheurs pour une technologie appropriée serait possible par-delà les mers (en particulier en Indonésie), par exemple l'expérience Long ranch Wifi au Venezuela qui relie des points distants de 237 miles. L'apprentissage de l'information numérique pourrait commencer dans l'enseignement supérieur, tandis que le paradigme de l'apprentissage doit préparer les contenus et les infrastructures. L’amélioration des logiciels Epsbed et Pdpt du Ministère de l’Education Supérieure de l’Indonésie (Dikti) devrait permettre d’accomplir le programme PHK A-1 et d’établir un nouveau programme d'études à l’Université de Manado en utilisant l'intelligence économique (programme de coopération avec AMU). Dans l’apprentissage s’applique cette maxime de sagesse française : si vous voulez voir plus loin, aller plus haut. Globalement liée aux TIC, l'infrastructure SEA-ME-WE 5 relie l’Indonésie et la France par un réseau de fibre optique
Developing in this digital era could be highly complex while the data and information available are in “obesity” ever. Information comes from all over the world and the need to apply in the region. In this case, it is important to filter the information; situation in developing country many internet user think that social media is the internet (Surman, 2017) and many young people in developed country cannot distinguished promotional content from news article or ads from search result (Shellenbarger, 2016). How to filter the needed data and information especially in developing country? Using Clustering Engine and Methodology Survey Database Index via Web 2.0 (Jacques et al, 2009) could be alternative way for developing country, especially from the cost side. Research Documentation from government like Gouvernement Francaise and US are no doubt, and also learn from initiative organization that based on digital like Fablab, Rempli, Lilan, NREN, Mozilla Foundation, Code.org, AP4DE. Collaboration between researchers for propitiate technology are very possible across the sea (especially in Indonesia), for example the experiment long ranch Wifi in Venezuela that connect 237 miles distance. Digital information learning could begin at higher education while the paradigm in learning needs to prepare well the content and also infrastructures. Win the PHK A-1 and established the new study program at Unima using Competitive Intelligence (program cooperate with AMU), must fix the Epsbed, Pdpt report to Dikti. In learning, wise French word: si vous voulez voir plus loin, aller plus haut. Globally related to ICT, SEA-ME-WE 5 infrastructure, connect fiber optic from Indonesia to French
