Participación ciudadana en los medios de comunicación de servicio público: lo que realmente significa

En un sistema de medios convergente donde el público tiene más que nunca el control de qué, cuándo y dónde consumir contenido, los medios de servicio público deben situar la participación ciudadana en el centro de sus estrategias. Eso significa dar a las audiencias un mayor control sobre la financiación de los medios públicos, una mayor participación de la sociedad civil en la gobernanza de estos medios y una participación más significativa de los ciudadanos en su proceso de producción de contenido. Esta investigación resume las tendencias recientes sobre cómo las empresas de medios en general se involucran con sus audiencias en la economía digital y explora oportunidades y modelos de participación ciudadana en los medios públicos del futuro. Este artículo sostiene que, sin ajustarse a las realidades de la economía digital, lo que significaría construir plataformas de distribución de contenido en red centradas en la audiencia, los medios de servicio público tendrán dificultades para atraer nuevos seguidores, especialmente entre las audiencias más jóvenes, y arriesgarse a alienar a sus audiencias ya en declive. En un ecosistema de medios poblado por un número creciente de productores de contenido que compiten ferozmente para captar la atención de la gente, los medios de servicio público pueden obtener una ventaja competitiva solo si involucran a los ciudadanos de maneras innovadoras y significativas. Sin el elemento de participación ciudadana, corren el riesgo de convertirse en un actor marginal o, peor aún, en algo del pasado.n a converged media system where the public is more than ever in control of what, when and where to consume content, public service media must put citizen participation at the heart of their strategies. That means giving the audiences more control over funding of public media, increased participation of civil society in the governance of these media outlets and more meaningful involvement of citizens in their content production process. This paper summarizes recent trends in how media companies in general engage with their audiences in the digital economy and explores opportunities and models of citizen participation in the public media of the future. The paper argues that without adjusting to the realities of the digital economy, which would mean first and foremost building audience centric networ-ked platforms of content distribution, public service media will have a hard time to attract new followers, especially among younger audiences, and risk alienating their already declining audiences. In a media ecosystem populated by a growing number of content producers that are all fiercely competing to capture people’s attention, public service media can gain a competitive edge only if they engage citizens in innovative, meaningful ways. Without the citizen participation element, they risk becoming a marginal player or, worse, a thing of the past

A Framework for Assessing the Role of Public Service Media Organizations in Countering Disinformation

Publisher Copyright: © 2021 The Author(s). Published by Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.Public service media (PSM) are widely acknowledged as part of the variety of solutions to disinformation. The remit of PSM, formed around values of universality, equality, diversity, accuracy and quality, implies a responsibility to fight disinformation by producing fact-based news content and finding anti-disinformation solutions. In this article, we introduce a framework for assessing how PSM organizations are able to counter disinformation in different contexts. Our normative framework provides a triangulation of contextual factors that determine the role of the PSM organization in the national environment, the activities carried out to fight disinformation and expert assessments of the potential of PSM to reduce the impact of disinformation. The framework is illustrated with analyses of PSM from the Czech Republic (CZE), Finland, Spain and the United Kingdom (UK).Peer reviewe

Magnesium Chloride as a Leaching and Aragonite-promoting Self-regenerative Additive for the Mineral Carbonation of Calcium-rich Materials

Two approaches for the intensification of the mineral carbonation reaction are combined and studied in this work, namely: (i) the calcium leaching and aragonite promoting effects of magnesium chloride (MgCl2), and (ii) the passivating layer abrasion effect of sonication. The alkaline materials subjected to leaching and carbonation tests included lime, wollastonite, steel slags, and air pollution control (APC) residue. Batch leaching tests were conducted with varying concentrations of additives to determine extraction efficiency, and with varying solids-to-liquid ratios to determine solubility limitations. Aqueous mineral carbonation tests, with and without the use of ultrasound, were conducted applying varying concentrations of magnesium chloride and varying durations to assess CO2 uptake improvement and characterize the formed carbonate phases. The leaching of calcium from lime with the use of MgCl2 was found to be atomefficient (1 mol Ca extracted for every mole Mg added), but the extraction efficiency from slags and APC residue was limited to 26–35 % due to mineralogical and microstructural constraints. The addition of MgCl2 notably improved argon oxygen decarburization (AOD) slag carbonation extent under sonication, where higher additive dosage resulted in higher CO2 uptake. Without ultrasound, however, carbonation extent was reduced with MgCl2 addition. The benefit of MgCl2 under sonication can be linked to the preferential formation of aragonite (85 wt% of formed carbonates), which precipitates on the slag particles in the form of acicular crystals with low packing density, thus becoming more susceptible to the surface erosion effect of sonication, as evidenced by the significantly reduced carbonated slag particle size

Model-checking for TASTE designed space software systems: results and lessons learned

Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is an adopted modelling and development approach for correct-by- construction of complex software systems, such as space applications. TASTE [1] is a pragmatic and mature MBSE toolset supported by ESA that enables and provides automation for most of the phases of software system development: (i) heterogeneous system design through several modelling and programming languages (e.g., ASN.1, AADL, SDL, C/C++), (ii) code generation, build and deployment of the binary application(s), (iii) validation through static analysis and simulation, and (iv) formal verification of properties by model-checking. The formal verification capabilities have been recently added to the TASTE toolset in the ESA project Model-Checking for Formal Verification of Space Systems (MoC4Space) and validated on two real-life case studies. Within this paper we report on the results and lessons learned during the project

Estimation of the Technical State of Automotive Disc Brakes Using Fuzzy Logic

According to existing studies the phenomena that occur in the exploitationof the braking system are very complex and an analytical mathematical modelingof braking process it is difficult to be developed [1]. Since these phenomena are alsocharacterized by some uncertainties, a fuzzy logic approach has been employed in thisresearch for the estimation of technical state of the disc brakes. Their technical statewas expressed through the thickness variation, which was used as the output linguisticvariable. The vibrations and temperature of the disc brakes were used as the inputlinguistic variables. The fuzzy decision system for the estimation of technical stateof the disc brakes has been implemented with the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox of theMatlab software, which can be employed to determine if the thickness of the discbrakes becomes smaller than the limit value prescribed by the manufacturer

The Behavior of a 1.4301 Stainless Steel Subjected to Cryogenic Temperatures

AbstractUsually equipments that work at low and cryogenic temperatures are made of stainless steel due to their good mechanical and anti corrosion properties. The best stainless steels for this kind of applications are the ones that present an austenitic microstructure. The austenitic microstructure is the most plastic phase of the Fe-Fe3C alloys but this gives it a very good resilience at low temperature. This paper analysis the behavior of a 1.4301 stainless steel subjected to prolonged exposure to cryogenic temperatures and thermal cycles of cooling to cryogenic temperatures and heating to room temperature. The cryogenic temperatures were obtained by immersing the samples in liquid air which has a temperature of -196°C. The samples were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy and x-ray diffraction
