New Trends & Technologies of Information Science

The contemporary security environment is becoming more and more volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. At the same time, there is a deficit of understanding of the security environment, which results, among others,
from the interpenetration of military and civilian aspects, the development of new technologies and globalization processes and their multi-faceted consequences

In 2013 the European Space Agency’s Planck Observatory revealed that aspects of asymmetric electromagnetic reality associated with the functioning of an electromagnetic universal field rotated anticlockwise during the birth of the universe. In 1857 the molecular biologist, Louis Pasteur, wrote that such an asymmetric consciousness phenomenon was the first-cause principle governing the universe. In 1905 Einstein incorrectly assumed that the first-light principle, governing all universal dynamics, was rotating clockwise. The Planck Observatory’s findings suggest that “A perplexing asymmetry in relic radiation may point to new physics”.

Changes in the world and rapid developments in communication technologies are affecting the way cities are governed. With each passing day, traditional forms of management and ways leave their place to the new structures and new communication tools. With the Law No. 6360 major important changes have been made in big cities in Turkey. The number of metropolitan cities reached up to thirty. While establishing new metropolitan municipalities whose borders are equaled to the provincial boundaries, the legal personality of the town municipalities as well as the Special Provincial Administrations and the villages have been abolished. In all metropolitan cities, with the April of 2014, the villages were transformed into neighborhoods with their names, and the town municipalities as a single neighborhood, like villages. The Investment Monitoring and Coordination Directorates were established in thirty metropolitan cities. The village mukhtars who were in the executive position before in providing local services and solving problems have become intermediaries. In addition to the central government units, the demands and problems of the new neighborhoods that will be served from the two municipalities, namely the district and the metropolitan municipality, must be communicated in time. In this period, the main work is for the mukhtars who knows well the neighborhood and the first unit for the citizens. It is expected that they will be able to participate in management by using new communication technologies, especially internet. The Mukhtar Information System (www.muhtar.gov.tr) was established by the Ministry of the Interior to enable mukhtars following up and reporting their requests from institutions and organizations in order to contribute effectively to get public services. Also, The Mukhtars Connection Points was established by the metropolitan municipalities to provide similar services.
In this study; it has been tried out the extent to which the mukhtars of the new neighborhoods use the new communication technologies by a short survey and loosely structured interviews in 8 districts of Muğla. The relation between the usage and the age-education level will be discussed.

I invite you to immerse yourself in reading this book and take advantage of all the advantages that Business Digital Transformation offers us in the personal, professional, and business spheres.

Abstract Firms compete by the skills and knowledge of their employees to deliver a range of customized solutions to meet their clients' needs. Knowledgeable workers thereby play a pivotal role in today's knowledge-based economy. In knowledge-intensive business service (KIBS) firms, service providers exchange explicit knowledge with service customers through various delivery channels. The collaboration between service actors is an ad hoc and human-driven process that does not follow a predefined workflow. Further, exchange data ...

"The term information is omnipresent in academic research as well as in everyday life. Buzz words such as information society, information age or information overload are floating around everywhere. But what do we mean exactly with 'information' in different contexts?

The philosopher Rafael Capurro dealt with this question in the late 1970's in his PhD thesis on the concept of information. Especially the philosophical community was suffering at that time from a lack of reflection thereupon. Capurro tried to fill this gap. The following remark by the physicist and philosopher Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker (1912-2007) had a particular impact on him.

"Today we are getting accustomed [...] to understand information as something different from matter and consciousness. What we have discovered is an old truth in a new place. It is the Platonic eidos, the Aristotelian form, expressed in words such that also a human being in the 20th century can learn about them."

Weizsäcker’s step back to the history of ideas motivated Capurro also to deal with ethical issues of the information society particularly since the rise of the internet. The handling of digital information requires new cultural skills that are addressed with the term 'information literacy.' In the last ten years many projects in the Library and Information Science field (LIS) include or are even focused on information literacy (IL). In many of these projects there is a pre-understanding that IL has to do with the ability to find, filter, and process digital information. At the same time, there is a gap between this pre-understanding and an the ongoing academic discussion on the concept of information. The following dialogue deals particularly with this gap."

О роли информационных технологий в социальной адаптации детей-сирот сказано и написано немало. Тем не менее, многие сиротские учреждения с большой осторожностью относятся к самой возможности включения новых технологий в образовательный процесс. С чем  это связано? Первое, что, как правило, останавливает администрацию детского дома перед введением информационных технологий в своих учреждениях, это необходимость иметь дело с компьютерной техникой. Она и дорогостоящая, и беречь ее нужно как зеницу ока, и обслуживать очень хлопотно. Самый же главный камень преткновения – это вред физическому и психологическому здоровью воспитанников и педагогов, который наносится компьютерной техникой. Безусловно, такие предположения отнюдь не лишены оснований. В первую очередь, виной тому – остаточный принцип, согласно которому техника если вообще и попадает в детский дом, то устаревшая, списанная.

In this text the ideas about technology and anti-technology were analysed in two contexts: an industrial one (with the changes generated by the Industrial Revolution) and a cybercultural one (with the changes generated by the Internet). The use of technology was not always welcomed when it first appeared and there are several examples of resistance to it. However, with time, it became increasingly appreciated, at a professional, health and safety, and also at a domestic level. Nevertheless, a fear still lingers of the notion that machines and technologies might be harmful to human lives – due to its excessive use or to the potential destructive power they entail.

Приходится признать, что к началу третьего тысячелетия вопрос социального самоопределения детей-сирот так и не получил адекватного и однозначного решения. Причем значимость его – как для судеб детей, так и для построения стратегии деятельности детских домов – отнюдь не утратилась, а в ряде случаев – так и неизмеримо возросла. Представления о жизни в обществе за порогом детского дома у подавляющего большинства воспитанников и даже выпускников детских домов, увы, весьма туманны. Что на практике означает – выпускник попадает буквально никуда. Он никаких общественных предпочтений за годы жизни в детском доме так в себе и не выработал. И даже в тех редких случаях, когда на помощь ему могла прийти социально-педагогическая и психологическая служба детского дома, принципиально на положении дела это так и не сказалось. Что служит причиной этого поистине катастрофического положения?

In update intensive main memory database applications, huge volume of log records is generated, to maintain the ACID properties of the database system, the log records should be persistent efficiently. Delegating logging of one main memory database to another main memory database is proposed. The scheme is elaborated in detail in terms of architecture, logging & safeness levels, checkpointing, and recovery. Strict durability and relax durability are provided. When some form of non-volatile memory is used to temporarily holding log records, not only logging efficiency is improved, but also the scheme could guarantee full ACID of the system. We also propose using parallel logging to speedup log persistence by writing logs to multiple disks in parallel. Since interconnection network techniques progress by leaps and bounds, the scheme eliminates the concern about whether the system's overall performance may be slowed down by bandwidth and latency limitations. Experiment results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposal.
