Der Beitrag problematisiert die Einführung neuer Technologien in den industriellen Kibbuzbetrieben (die Mehrheit der Kibbuzmitglieder arbeitet in der Industrie und nicht in der Landwirtschaft). Nach Darstellung des Autors erlauben die speziellen sozialen Bedingungen des Kibbuz eine humane Nutzung der technologischen Möglichkeiten in Richtung auf eine Verbesserung der Qualität der Arbeitswelt.

Technologies that emerged during the last decade as new tools occasionally represent fundamentally new means of genome modification, which, in addition to the scientific novelty, faces legislators with new challenge by giving a new meaning to both the biochemical/molecular biological and legal meaning to genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Emerging plant genetic technologies are categorized as zinc finger nuclease technology; oligonucleotide directed mutagenesis; cisgenesis and intragenesis; RNA-dependent DNA methylation by RNA interference; grafting on genetically modified rootstock; reverse breeding; agro-infiltration; and synthetic genomics. Although all these methods apply biotechnology processes to create new plant varieties, it is debated whether all result in GMOs according to the current legal definition. Official risk assessment of these technologies is a task of outstanding weight of the authority.

PurposeAims to explore a central contradiction in the so‐called information society – while it is characterized by calls for universal transparency, at the same time, there are demands for increased secrecy.Design/methodology/approachA number of lines of enquiry are sketched out including: the way in which new technologies radically reshapes the relationship between secrecy and both the public and professional spheres; transparency v. secrecy; and the prospect that a society of organized secrecy will take the place of democratic society.FindingsNew norms and rules should be defined so as to take into account the effects of information technologies on governance and human rights.Originality/valueThe article is a declaration that the Age of the Enlightenment, as with the open society, is incapable of being bounded. The author opposes the postmodern prophets of doom who have declared the Age of the Enlightenment to be dead and its democratic project to be nonsensical.

Takes a company study approach examining a division of 3M, focusing
on the development and commercialization of various new technologies and
new products. Describes the use of Cross‐Functional Teams in the
development process, which itself is considered as consisting of four
key stages, which are examined in detail. Concludes that constant review
of procedures and processes is necessary in order to improve product
development in industrial markets, while noting that other techniques
may be more appropriate for businesses in different sectors.

AbstractNew computer software allows modelers to create sophisticated educational tools based on models. Such computerized simulation games have generally failed as standalone educational tools. Effective learning requires that computerized simulation games not only simulate models but also give an understanding of structure and dynamics. Feedback during the game may be able to teach this systems understanding without textbook readings. Computerized feedback requires new methods of "expert" computer analysis; some methods are suggested in this article. Simulation games also offer the opportunity to integrate learning of structure and dynamics with learning of facts. Other tools need to be developed to help create simulation games and to give the games abilities that they do not yet have, such as access to data bases of models, pictures, and text, and connections between simulation games.

Abstract
Among cartographic works, three-dimensional panoramas should be marked out as a special kind of map, which are characterised by visual modes of representing objects in space. The main principles of the creation of both hand-painted and automated maps vector and raster graphics software (Corel Draw and Adobe Photoshop) are considered in the paper. The use of modern information technologies has several advantages over traditional mapping.
