Chernobyl Stories And Anthropological Shock In Hungary, Krista Harper
Chernobyl Stories And Anthropological Shock In Hungary, Krista Harper
Anthropology Department Faculty Publication Series
The Budapest Chernobyl Day commemoration generated a creative outpouring of stories about parental responsibilities, scientific knowledge, environmental risks, and public participation. I examine the stories and performances elicited by the tenth anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in April 1996. In these “Chernobyl stories,” activists criticized scientific and state paternalism while engaging in alternative practices of citizenship. The decade between the catastrophic explosion and its commemoration coincides with the development of the Hungarian environmental movement and the transformation from state socialism. Chernobyl Day 1996 consequently became an opportunity for activists to reflect upon how the meaning of citizenship and public …

Die hier vorgestellte Studie „Analyse und Evaluation der Softwareentwicklung in Deutschland" [2] wurde von der GfK Marktforschung GmbH in Zusammenarbeit mit den Fraunhofer-Instituten für Experimentelles Software Engineering (IESE) und für Systemtechnik und Innovationsforschung (ISI) für das Bundesmini¬sterium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) durchgeführt. Ziel der Untersuchung war es, den nationalen Softwaremarkt, der sich immer mehr zu einem der Schlüsselmärkte entwickelt, quantitativ und qualitativ zu charakterisieren sowie in seiner weiteren Entwicklung und seinen Anforderungen zu beschreiben.
Us Manufacturing Extension Partnerships: Technology Policy Reinvented, Philip Shapira
Us Manufacturing Extension Partnerships: Technology Policy Reinvented, Philip Shapira
Philip Shapira
The US manufacturing extension partnership (MEP) is examined as an example of the new partnership paradigm in US technology policy. The MEP provides technology assistance services, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises. Influenced by aims to reinvent government and reorient technology policy, the MEP seeks to be comprehensive, collaborative, and demand-driven. However, the MEP’s partnered management style is constrained by political and industrial systems that continue to operate on traditional lines. After probing these tensions, the paper offers insights for the MEP’s future development and for other technology and innovation policies that seek to emulate the MEP’s partnership approach.

A Framework For Assessing The Global Diffusion Of The Internet, Peter Wolcott, Larry Press, William Mchenry, Seymour E. Goodman, William Foster
Information Systems and Quantitative Analysis Faculty Publications
This paper presents a comprehensive framework for describing the diffusion of the Internet in a country. It incorporates insights gained from in-depth studies of about 25 countries undertaken since 1997. The framework characterizes diffusion using six dimensions, defining them in detail, and examines how the six dimensions relate to underlying bodies of theory from the national systems of innovation and diffusion of innovations approaches. It addresses how to apply the framework in practice, highlighting Internet diffusion determinants. This framework is useful for business stakeholders wanting to make use of and invest in the Internet, for policy makers debating how to …
