    For the Times they Are A-Changin\u27: Explaining Voting Patters of U.S. Supreme Court Justices through Identification of Micro-Publics

    In assessing how social forces may shape U.S. Supreme Court Justices’ decision-making it has been presumed that there is a singular public opinion and that this opinion affects each individual Justice in largely the same fashion. We suggest that it is more likely the case that Justices’ world views are informed and shaped by a myriad of social concerns and group identities upon which the Justices structure and process their experiences and develop and refine their personal schemas. While some have already begun to question the proposition of a monolithic public opinion influence on judicial behavior and have begun to think carefully about what we term the “micro-publics” that may inform Supreme Court Justices’ decision-making, the more tangible questions of whether Justices respond to publics that are distinguishable from broad-based national public opinion and what those micro-publics might be remain largely unanswered. Our study focuses on the potential influence of localized and personal micro-publics and the possibility of partisan-based elite influence on judicial behavior. We test our hypotheses by analyzing the voting record of Supreme Court Justices on civil liberties cases from 1977 to 2003 and find encouraging initial support for our theory

    Times They Are A Changin\u27 - Can the Ad Tech Industry Survive in a Privacy Conscious World?

    Get PDF
    The ad tech ecosystem is a web of interconnected technologies and intermediaries that facilitate targeted advertising based on consumer data, and supports the free internet while providing users with promotional content relevant to their interests. However, in recent years, lawmakers and consumer advocates have highlighted the dangers associated with the unregulated use of consumer data for advertising purposes, prompting a flurry of legislative action at both the state and federal levels. These various laws and proposed bills impose new challenges on the ad tech industry--threatening to fundamentally change the way the business operates. However, through innovation and creative thinking, the industry will be able to retain the many benefits of targeting advertising, while respecting consumer privacy and complying with legislative guardrails

    Major players, business angels and opinion-makers are broadcasting beguiled lyrics on the most recent IT hype: your software should ascend to the clouds. There are many clouds and the stake is high. Distractedly, many of us became assiduous users of the cloud, but perhaps due to the legacy systems and legacy knowledge, IT professionals, mainly those many that work in business information systems for the long tail, are not as much plunged into producing cloud-based systems for their clients. This keynote will delve into several aspects of this cloud paradigm, from more generic concerns regarding security and value for money, to more specific worries that reach software engineers in general. Do we need a different software development process? Are development techniques and tools mature enough? What about the role of open-source in the cloud? How do we assess the quality in cloud-based development? Please stay tuned for more!Comment: Position paper to introduce a keynote, proceedings of WAMPS'2011 - VI Annual MPS.BR Workshop, pp. 20-25, Campinas, Brazil, October 201

    The bestowal of Nobel Prize 2016 in Literature for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition to Bob Dylan indicated that the understanding of literature in post-modern world has begun to permeate its traditional boundary of definition.The research will deploy textual analysis approach with the focus to narratology, with conclusion base on deductive analysis on the holistic data relation. The data collecting method initiates mostly with close reading. Subsequently, those data are divided, arrange and grouped to certain criteria that support the process of analysis.Dylan’s “One More Cup of Coffee (To the Valley Below”) uniquely identifies the conventional knowledge as something that is not ultimate, instead it identifies it as something that has the value of truth which may be rivaled by other kind of system of truth. The plural existence of system of knowledge is not only acknowledge as juxtaposed entities, but even furthermore deconstructed to be something that successfully find the true essence of truth does not found in conventional system of knowledge
