In deze studie is op vier deelgebieden (constitutionele kaders, regulering van de inhoud, toegangsvraagstukken en de bescherming van informatie en privacy) onderzocht welke ontwikkelingen binnen het recht op internationaal niveau van invloed zijn op (de regulering van) de inhoud van de media. Vervolgens zijn deze ontwikkelingen geanalyseerd en van conclusies voorzien.Deze webpublicatie is het resultaat van een opdracht die aan het instituut voor Informatierecht (IVIR) is verstrekt in het kader van het WRR-rapport Focus op functies. Uitdagingen voor een toekomstbestendig mediabeleid. Het onderzoek is uitgevoerd door prof.dr. N.A.N.M. van Eijk, mr. L.F. Asscher, mr. N. Helberger en prof.mr. J.J.C. Kabel

Dit boek gaat over het gebruik van nieuwe media - internet, games en mobiele telefonie - bij kinderen in de basisschoolleeftijd. Bij kinderen draaien nieuwe media in eerste instantie om contact. Ze spelen samen met vrienden games, op spelcomputers, op spelletjeswebsites en in virtuele werelden als Stardoll.nl en Habbo. Ze bekijken filmpjes op YouTube en soms maken ze die zelf om ze vervolgens met anderen te delen. Ze hebben contact met elkaar via de mobiele telefoon en MSN. Ze 'krabbelen' elkaar op Hyves en presenteren zichzelf daar aan elkaar. Vriendschap, liefde, ruzie en pesten; alles uit het echte leven heeft ook een plaats in hun digitale leefwereld. Op steeds jongere leeftijd zijn kinderen actief met nieuwe media. Sommige ouders en leerkrachten worstelen met het mediagebruik van (jonge) kinderen. Ze vragen zich af hoe de nieuwe mogelijkheden het best benut kunnen worden en hoe gevaren vermeden kunnen worden. Wat moeten kinderen leren om veilig en efficiënt met nieuwe media om te gaan? Welke vaardigheden zijn er nodig om mediawijze burgers van hen te maken? En wat zijn hierbij taken van opvoeders? Het boek Contact! Kinderen en nieuwe media brengt het werk van de beste onderzoekers in Nederland op dit terrein samen. De auteurs genieten internationaal een uitstekende reputatie en het boek mag nu al een standaardwerk genoemd worden. Het is bij uitstek geschikt om ouders, onderwijzers en hulpverleners wegwijs te maken in de digitale leefwereld van kinderen. Het boek is een initiatief van het Sociaal Cultureel Planbureau (SCP), Stichting Mijn Kind Online en het programma Digivaardig Digibewust.

In deze studie wordt op een uitvoerige wijze het Europese mediabeleid beschreven, om vervolgens in te gaan op de huidige stand van zaken in het gebied.

In the twentieth century, production and consumption rapidly grew, accompanied by businessesa frantic search for new markets. Many new institutions, corporations, interest groups, research organizations, trade groups, shops, and laboratories were involved in the search. Twentieth-century European mass consumption did not exist; it had to be projected, represented, constructed, and produced. In other words, mass consumption involved sustained work on the part of producers and consumers. By applying the concepts of mediation and mediation junction this book shows how consumption and economic pro

The recent mass digitization of text data has led to a need to efficiently and effectively deal with the mountain of textual data that is generated. Digitized text is increasingly in the form of digitized data flows (Brent, 2008). Digitized data flows are non-static streams of generated content – including twitter, electronic news, etc. An oft-cited statistic is that currently 85% of all business data is in the form of text (cited in Hotho, Nürnberger & Paass, 2005). This mountain of data leads us to the question whether the labor-intensive traditional qualitative data analysis techniques are best suited for this large amount of data. Other techniques for dealing with large amounts of data may also be found wanting because those techniques remove the researcher from an immersion in the data. Both dealing with large amounts of data and allowing immersion in data are clearly desired features of any text analysis system.

After the Vienna Congress in 1815, the Allied ministers did not return home, but continued their negotiations in Paris. They deliberated on the measure of reparation payments and arrear payments that France owed to the other European states. The new peace also rested on financial securities. The United Kingdom of the Netherlands assumed a large part in these conferences, since through the mass of private claims it was France's largest creditor. In this article we demonstrate how, as one of the essentials of the new concert diplomacy of 1815, smaller powers such as the Netherlands were allowed to weigh in on the Four Powers' deliberations in Paris. The political conundrums regarding these financial securities and reparationshave not been charted and analysed before. Through previously unstudied sources,such as the minutes of the Paris Ministerial Conference, we discuss the influence a secondary power could exert provided they deployed smart financial experts. Under that condition large political and financial gains could be made.

Sie fühlen sich verantwortlich für Ihre agilen Teams. Sie möchten, dass die Teams wachsen, flexibel und schnell in volatilen, komplexen Märkten agieren und selbstorganisiert arbeiten. Doch das bloße Vertrauen, dass die Teams selbst den Weg zur Autonomie erfolgreich beschreiten, greift zu kurz. Wann sollten Sie Raum geben, wann eingreifen? Was ist das richtige Maß an Selbstorganisation für Ihre Teams? Peter Koning bietet in diesem Buch ein "Steuerrad" und acht konkrete Werkzeuge zur kontinuierlichen Verbesserung. Das "Steuerrad" umfasst vier Aspekte, die zusammen ein Umfeld beschreiben, das selbstorganisierte Teams zum erfolgreichen Arbeiten brauchen: - Setzen Sie inspirierende Ziele - Fördern Sie Ownership - Beschleunigen Sie das Lernen - Entwickeln Sie neue Gewohnheiten Jeder dieser Aspekte beinhaltet zwei praktische Werkzeuge und eine konkrete Kompetenz der agilen Führungskraft. Die Werkzeuge, wie z.B. KVI (Key Value Indicator), Ownership-Modell oder T2L (Time-to-Learn), sind einzeln einsetzbar und jedes ist für sich allein erfolgreich. Alle Werkzeuge sind miteinander verzahnt und verstärken sich gegenseitig. Mit diesem Werkzeugkasten können Sie das gewünschte Umfeld schaffen, notwendige Anpassungen daran vornehmen und kontinuierlich Verbesserungen anstoßen. Agile Teams erhalten so ein Ziel, das sie inspiriert, sie entwickeln mehr Ownership, eine höhere Lerngeschwindigkeit und eine bessere Teamkultur. "Peter Koning ist es gelungen, ein konkret anwendbares Buch für Führungskräfte in schnelllebigen und sich verändernden Umfeldern zu schreiben. Sein Modell mit den zugehörigen Tools hilft agilen Führungskräften, praktische Schritte zu unternehmen. Es ist Pflichtlektüre für jede Führungskraft in einer agilen Welt.

Brussels' urban space, like that of many other cities, is dotted with evidence of a productive industrial past. The activities that took place there were generally not geared to mass production for export, but to small-scale manufacturing aimed at supplying the needs of local city dwellers. That small-scale manufacturing industry included members of the building trade such as contractors, joiners and builders' merchants who catered to the demand for housing in an ever-expanding city. Their business premises formed a vital link in the creation and renovation of the urban fabric. This article focuses on the values of small-scale industrial heritage from the building trade, which is under enormous pressure in a city like Brussels. The dynamics of constantly rising real estate prices make residential redevelopment a lucrative investment. Thanks to gentrification, many workshops are being converted into housing and former warehouses are falling prey to large-scale property development. Real estate dynamics, scaling-up and changing market conditions are also contributing to the disappearance of the small-scale, live-work fabric that fosters a beneficial mix of functions. The expertise and skills that for centuries have supplied the basic needs of the city in a sustainable manner are then lost. In light of growing traffic congestion and unemployment, academics and urban planners are becoming increasingly convinced of the need for permanently embedded, city-servicing economic actors like building businesses. Thus, even today, small-scale industrial heritage is vital to the functioning of the urban economy, in that offers the possibility of spatially organizing or reorganizing city-servicing activities within a dense urban fabric. Inspired by integrated concepts of heritage, we therefore argue in favour of a broadening of industrial heritage values aimed at anchoring the use of such locations in time and space. We take issue with an exclusively material approach to industrial heritage by pointing out the immaterial heritage value of a continuity of productive use. After a brief theoretical reflection on the value of small-scale industrial heritage in the city, we examine the historical evolution of Brussels' industrial heritage at the macro level between 1890 and 1970, the period in which the development of the suburbs of Brussels was in full swing. We use a series of exemplary cases to illustrate the different trajectories of continuity and discontinuity of heritage on the one hand, and productive use of building trade locations in Brussels on the other. We also try to get to grips with the motivations of businesses that abandon the city, cease to exist or manage to adapt to volatile market conditions. This article uses a selection of cases to challenge a purely material approach to industrial heritage and makes the case for further research into the question of how individual heritage legislation might also recognize immaterial heritage values in historical business activity on a particular site or in an industrial building.

In the summer of 2013, the Vlaams Agentschap Onroerend Erfgoed (Flemish Immovable Heritage Agency) investigated a modest little school building in the vicinity of Ghent (Belgium). The old building proved to be a reconstruction of the model school in the Modern Village, a Belgian government pavilion of great social significance at the 1913 World's Fair in Ghent. The model school is the only surviving building from the Modern Village.Since this discovery, further investigations by the heritage agency have revealed the dearth of scholarly studies of either the Modern Village or the model school building. The great social importance of this Belgian rural model school is, however, becoming increasingly clear. This article is a critical assessment of that importance. A brief outline of the historical context in which the Modern Village and the model school came about is followed by a description of their social significance and the impact on Belgian and European society. The starting point is an analysis of the evaluation reports of the Modern Village published in book form by the then director general of the Ministry of Agriculture, Paul De Vuyst, and a member of parliament, Emile Tibbaut. The authenticity of the reconstruction of the model school is assessed based on recent construction history research. Finally, the question of the extent to which the model school design was adopted was explored during a field trip with the help of local cultural and archival agencies. The 1913 World's Fair in Ghent took place in a period of mass rural migration that resulted in poverty and social unrest in many parts of Europe. The Belgian government was keen to do something about this by building a new countryside with a better quality of life. To that end they exhibited the Modern Village – a practical and instructive embodiment of their policy – at the Ghent World's Fair. The ambition was to modernize the rural economy and beautify the villages. Via the introduction of compulsory education for children between the ages of six and fourteen, future generations would be taught the skills and techniques needed to modernize the economy and simultaneously achieve the edification of the rural population, central to which was a love of one's own region and traditions. The effects of the Modern Village on the modernization of agriculture and on the improvement of the quality of life were felt mainly after the First World War, not just in Belgium but in other countries, too, such as Hungary. The model school in the Modern Village was conceived as an affordable and easy-to-build school building that would facilitate the realization of this new rural culture. The construction survey has demonstrated the authenticity based on the specific roof shapes in stone dating from over a hundred years ago. Recent field research complements the latest investigations by the Flemish Government and strengthens the hypothesis that the model school was widely emulated and played an important role in the implementation of compulsory schooling in Belgium. Further research is necessary, not least to obtain clarity about the adoption of the new teaching methods presented in the model school and the significance of small primary school libraries for the general edification of the rural population.
