Sommario/riassunto |

The relationship of participation in online communities to civic and political engagement. Young people today have grown up living substantial portions of their lives online, seeking entertainment, social relationships, and a place to express themselves. It is clear that participation in online communities is important for many young people, but less clear how this translates into civic or political engagement. This volume examines the relationship of online action and real-world politics. The contributors discuss not only how online networks might inspire conventional political participation but also how creative uses of digital technologies are expanding the boundaries of politics and public issues. Do protests in gaming communities, music file sharing, or fan petitioning of music companies constitute political behavior? Do the communication skills and patterns of action developed in these online activities transfer to such offline realms as voting and public protests? Civic Life Online describes the many forms of civic life online that could predict a generation's political behavior. Contributors Marina Umaschi Bers, Stephen Coleman, Jennifer Earl, Kirsten Foot, Peter Levine, Kathryn C. Montgomery, Kate Raynes-Goldie, Howard Rheingold, Allen Schussman, Luke Walker, Michael Xenos |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book gathers papers presented during the 5th International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Control Applications (ICEECA 2022), held on November, 15–17, 2022, Khenchela, Algeria. It covers new control system models, troubleshooting tips, and complex system requirements, such as increased speed, precision, and remote capabilities. Additionally, the book discusses not only the engineering aspects of signal processing and various practical issues in the broad field of information transmission, but also novel technologies for communication networks and modern antenna design. The later part of the book covers important related topics such as fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control strategies for nonlinear systems and alternative energy sources. This book is intended for researchers, engineers, and advanced postgraduate students in the fields of control and electrical engineering, computer science, signal processing, as well as mechanical and chemical engineering. |
