Quantum surveillance and 'shared secrets'. A biometric step too far? CEPS Liberty and Security in Europe, July 2010

It is no longer sensible to regard biometrics as having neutral socio-economic, legal and political impacts. Newer generation biometrics are fluid and include behavioural and emotional data that can be combined with other data. Therefore, a range of issues needs to be reviewed in light of the increasing privatisation of ‘security’ that escapes effective, democratic parliamentary and regulatory control and oversight at national, international and EU levels, argues Juliet Lodge, Professor and co-Director of the Jean Monnet European Centre of Excellence at the University of Leeds, U

The Discourse of Propaganda in Traveloka’s YouTube Advertising Videos

This present study was conducted to analyze the propaganda techniques used by Traveloka in their YouTube social media advertising strategy. The material of analysis were videos taken from 2015 to 2019. Anaylsis of propaganda techniques proposed by Filene in 1937 and followed by Abd. Kadir, Hasan & Sauffiyan, 2014 were used to identify how Traveloka persuade its customers.  Finding shows that Traveloka used six techniques of propaganda in its advertising videos to; glittering generality, plain folks, card staking, visual symbol of power, music of propaganda and arousal of emotion to promote its products. The use of propaganda technique is very likely becoming one of the main reasons behind their customers and target audiences use of their services

Data Ingredients: smart disclosure and open government data as complementary tools to meet policy objectives. The case of energy efficiency.

Open government data are considered a key asset for eGovernment. One could argue that governments can influence other types of data disclosure, as potential ingredients of innovative services. To discuss this assumption, we took the example of the U.S. 'Green Button' initiative – based on the disclosure of energy consumption data to each user – and analysed 36 energy-oriented digital services reusing these and other data, in order to highlight their set of inputs. We find that apps suggesting to a user a more efficient consumption behaviour also benefit from average retail electricity cost/price information; that energy efficiency 'scoring' apps also need, at least, structured and updated information on buildings performance; and that value-added services that derive insights from consumption data frequently rely on average energy consumption information. More in general, most of the surveyed services combine consumption data, open government data, and corporate data. When setting sector-specific agendas grounded on data disclosure, public agencies should therefore consider (contributing) to make available all three layers of information. No widely acknowledged initiatives of energy consumption data disclosure to users are being implemented in the EU. Moreover, browsing EU data portals and websites of public agencies, we find that other key data ingredients are not supplied (or, at least, not as open data), leaving room for possible improvements in this arena

A Pilot Water Conservation Program

This bulletin reports on a study of the best and most cost effective ways to introduce such devices into homes. It is based on pilot projects conducted during the summer and fall of 1977 in six California communities of diverse characters and settings. The lessons learned in the studies described in this report will be of value to water suppliers and citizen groups interested in water conservation. I urge all California water suppliers who have not already done so to adopt aggressive water conservation programs. and commend this report to them as a valuable source of information
