This study examines South Korea's "beef protests" of 2008, with a focus on how these Internet-born popular protests challenged and overcame a populism anchored in the political elite. In the 2007 presidential election, conservative Lee Myung-bak won a landslide victory with an appeal to national and individual prosperity. However, immediately after his election, a popular uprising took place in South Korea when Lee decided to import American beef despite broad concern about mad cow disease. This article examines the process whereby South Korea's young Internet users swiftly turned from advocates to critics of Lee and mobilized for nationwide protests against him and against the Korea–U.S. free trade agreement. Drawing from Jacques Rancière's concepts of police and demos, I argue that the course of these events points to two dynamics of populism. First, populism succeeds when a politician or issue captivates public desires by metonymically embodying these desires. Second, in such cases, the public's desire cannot be fully represented or contained by traditional political institutions, and politics created from below lead to exuberant politics that defy institutional politics.

O presente artigo analisa as disposições constantes no Decreto 8.771/2016 sobre a regulação da monetização dos dados pessoais no âmbito da internet. Num mundo cada vez mais conectado e interligado, com enorme produção de dados e informações – mormente de dados pessoais – muitos agentes econômicos passaram a utilizar tais dados como insumos em seus modelos de negócio. Neste cenário, promulgouse a Lei nº 12.965/2014, o Marco Civil da Internet. Tal diploma previu certos direitos e garantias aos usuários da rede mundial de computadores – como o direito à inviolabilidade da privacidade e intimidade e a proteção dos dados pessoais. Todavia, algumas de suas disposições demandaram regulamentação e, neste escopo, editou-se o Decreto 8.771/2016, que trata, entre outros assuntos, da previsão de atuação regulatória do poder público sobre atividades relacionadas aos dados pessoais. Sobre estas disposições é que o presente artigo se debruçou. Como metodologia, analisou as determinações do Decreto em conjunto com as do Marco Civil, de normas relacionadas e posicionamentos doutrinários acerca do tema, deles procurando extrair diretivas regulatórias da monetização de dados. Teve como objetivo específico aferir a competência para editar atos que regulem atividades relacionadas aos dados pessoais. Entre os resultados, encontrou que certos dispositivos restaram imprecisos na distribuição de competências, e que os entes arrolados pelo legislador não são inteiramente competentes para regular o tema em fito. Concluiu que, apesar desta lacuna legal, os dados pessoais contam com certa proteção da lei, sugerindo, ainda, pela criação de ente regulador próprio e competente para regular esta matéria.

Purpose – to review and analyze problematic issues related with the ICANN's (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) role in the Internet administration and the interaction between national governing institutions. Design/methodology/approach – based on the comparison and systematic analysis of scientific literature, the authors discuss problematic issues related with the Internet governance model, where the ICANN takes the biggest part in the Internet administration. Its current legal status is causing controversies among different stakeholders, so the analytical approach towards the issue may help to facilitate the reach of the compromise in this area. Findings – the authors accentuate problematic phenomena, which are related with the Internet government structure. The current international legal state of the ICANN is highlighted in the article as well as the factors which influence the ICANNs struggle for independence. Research limitations/implications – the international legal status of the ICANN is a hard topic, where many interests from different parties collide. Because of that, it is impossible to convey the objective and impartial analysis of the problem. Different attitudes, political interest and even political views may influence the understanding of the issue. That is why the authors present their subjective opinion and suggest one of the possible Internet governance narratives as a basis for further discussion. Practical implications – the authors accentuate main sources of international friction between other state governing institutions and the ICANN. If the Internet administration structure will is left at the same status, there may be more upcoming hazards. The insights and recommendations in this article may be used as a basis for further problem analysis. Value – the article emphasizes current Internet governance problems and the role of the ICANN, while trying to moderate the interests of different parties. The expansion of the Internet allows implementing new service and business models. As a political tool, it is also attracting attention from different groups of interests and oversteps the boundaries of widely accepted values, such as freedom of speech, accessibility of information or economic interests. This question has a clear geopolitical context, for that reason, decision related with the future of the ICANN and the Internet governance should be solved responsibly. The authors give their insights about the topic by determining the main presumptions for the transformation of the ICANN's legal status and by analyzing positive and negative sides of such hypothetical outcome. ; Šio straipsnio tikslas ‒ apžvelgti bei išnagrinėti ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) sąveiką su kitų šalių valdančiomis institucijomis interneto infrastruktūros bei taisyklių administravimo kontekste. Remiantis literatūros lyginamąja bei sistemine analize nagrinėjami autorių darbai šioje srityje, analizuojami praktiniai pavyzdžiai, pateikiamos išvados, siūlymai bei numatomos galimos valdymo tendencijų prielaidos administruojant internetą. Autoriai nagrinėja ICANN veiklos teorinius bei praktinius niuansus, jos esamo teisinio statuso privalumus bei trūkumus, konkurenciją tarp suinteresuotų šalių siekiant svaresnio vaidmens administruojant interneto infrastruktūrą. Taip pat nagrinėjamas GAC (Governmental Advisory Committee) santykis su ICANN bei interesų tarp skirtingų šalių derinimo niuansai. Autoriai išskiria probleminius reiškinius, susietus su interneto valdymo struktūra. Pateikiama esama ICANN padėties analizė tarptautinio teisinio statuso kontekste. Nagrinėjami veiksniai, ribojantys šios organizacijos savarankiškumą, bei apžvelgiamos prielaidos ir veiksmai, leidžiantys jį padidinti. Taip pat apžvelgiamas pasaulinis interneto pokyčių kontekstas, susietas su politinėmis bei socialinėmis realijomis. ICANN tarptautinio teisinio statuso klausimas yra keblus ir daugialypis. Šioje srityje susikerta ne tik interneto vartotojų, nevyriausybinių organizacijų, bet ir didžiųjų valstybių interesai, tad objektyviai nešališka problemos analizė yra neįmanoma. Priklausomai nuo pristatomo požiūrio bei atstovaujamos politinės linijos, įmanomi įvairūs ICANN teisinio statuso interpretavimo niuansai, tad autoriai išreiškia vieną galimų šiuo atveju požiūrių. Autoriai skiria pagrindinius trinties šaltinius bei valdymo raidos tendencijas, galimai atsirasiančias ICANN stengiantis įgauti daugiau savarankiškumo. Įžvalgos bei pastebėjimai gali būti naudojami kaip tolesnės analizės atramos taškas. Interneto paplitimas bei naujų paslaugų ir verslo modelių atsiradimas paverčia šią technologinę sistemą galingu įrankiu. Dėl šios priežasties interneto valdymo problematika išeina už informacijos prieinamumo, žodžio laisvės bei ekonominių interesų ribų. Šiam klausimui suteikiamas ryškus geopolitinis atspalvis, todėl jo sprendimas negali būti skubotas, vienašališkas ar paviršutiniškas. Autoriai apibrėžia pagrindines ICANN tarptautinio teisinio statuso transformavimo prielaidas, nagrinėja teigiamus bei neigiamus tokių pokyčių aspektus bei pateikia savo požiūrį ir esamos situacijos vertinimą.

The article deals with the basic intentions of personality's self-realization in the Internet. By means of segmentation of the Internet communication space the domination of the discourses of advertising, pedagogy, politics and game playing is grounded. Within the frames of these discourses the two basic intentions of personality's self-realization in the Internet are observed: the readiness to think and to consume. ; Рассмотрены основные интенции личностной самореализации в Интернете. Путем сегментации коммуникативного пространства Интернета обосновывается доминирование дискурсов рекламы, педагогики, политики и игры. В рамках этих дискурсов наблюдаются две основные интенции личностной самореализации в Сети: готовность мыслить и потреблять. ; Досліджуються наскрізні дискурси самореалізації особистості в Інтернеті через сегментацію його комунікативного простору.

This book has a focus on the development and deployment of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) paradigm, discussing frameworks, methodologies, benefits and limitations, as well as providing case studies of employing the IoT vision in the industrial domain. IIoT is becoming an attractive business reality for many organisations such as manufacturing, logistics, oil and gas, energy and other utilities, mining, aviation, and many more. The opportunities for this paradigm are huge, and according to one report, the IIoT market is predicted to reach $125 billion by 2021. The driving philosophy behind the IIoT is that smart machines are better than humans at accurately capturing, analysing and communicating real-time data. The underlying technologies include distributed computing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and machine-to-machine communication, with a typical IIoT system consisting of intelligent systems (applications, controllers, sensors, and security mechanisms), data communication infrastructure (cloud computing, edge computing, etc.), data analytics (to support business intelligence and corporate decision making), and most importantly the human element. The promised benefits of the IIoT include enhanced safety, better reliability, smart metering, inventory management, equipment tracking, and facilities management. There are, however, numerous issues that are also becoming the focus of active research, such as concerns regarding service availability, data security, and device communication. Lack of ubiquitous interoperability between heterogeneous devices is also a major concern. This book intends to fill a gap in the IIoT literature by providing the scientific contributions and latest developments from researchers and practitioners of international repute, focusing on frameworks, methodologies, benefits, and inherent issues/barriers to connected environments, especially in industrial settings. The intended audience includes network specialists, hardware engineers, and security experts who wish to adopt newer approaches for device connectivity, IoT security, and sensor-based devices design. University level students, researchers and practitioners will also find the latest innovation in technology and newer approaches relevant to the IIoT from a distributed computing perspective

The Internet, given its availability and affordability, is increasingly being used for different purposes, including health-related purposes. In this context, the Internet serves as a medium for people to interact frequently with the health care professionals, access health information online, and form and participate in online support groups. Yet, the extant literature has focused mostly on the use of the Internet for health purposes in developed countries. To bridge this gap and to ascertain the utility of the Internet for health purposes in developing countries, a cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 363 students at the University of Ghana, using self-reported methodology. The study revealed that all the participants reported to use the Internet for health purposes. Particularly, the study found evidence that the participants use the Internet to seek for information online, interact with health professionals, engage in social support and group communication via popular social networks-Facebook and WhatsApp. Interestingly, the study also found that the majority of the participants own two or more electronic devices, used to access the Internet. More so, the availability of the Internet on campus, and easy access, motivated participants to use it. While the majority of the participants had indicated that they acquired knowledge and changed their lifestyle after accessing health information online, few had stated otherwise. The general implication of the study is that the use of the Internet for health purposes is not limited to developed countries. Government and policy makers in Ghana can make use of the Internet to provide relevant health information and services. The extent of the Internet usage raises the optimism that geographical and physical barriers to seeking health care information can be overcome. The findings are briefly discussed and also, the implications of the findings for promoting access to health information discussed.
