“What is Less or More than a Touch?” Multimedia Classics and Hypermedia Hermeneutics     

Harald Kraemer 《Curator: The Museum Journal》2014,57(1):119-136

Hypermedia is so diverse that it is in need of documentation, analysis, and methodology. For more than 20 years, online and offline applications of hypermedia technology have combined text, image, video, animation, and sound into a total work of art (Gesamtkunstwerk). This essay provides an insight into my research project, Multimedia Classics and Hypermedia Hermeneutics, focusing on why it is so difficult to describe and analyze hypermedia applications on cultural topics. It suggests how the functions, contents, and forms of hypermedia could be analyzed; to do so, it looks at Notzimmer, an interactive website story about a knockdown furniture construction kit designed by Jewish refugee Mauritius Ehrlich during World War II.  相似文献   

Letter from Rob Kling,Editor-in-Chief and Guest Editors Kenneth L. Kraemer and Jason Dedrick     

Rob Kling  Kenneth Kraemer  Jason Dedrick 《The Information Society》2013,29(1):1-3

We find that the presence of village Internet facilities, offering government to citizen services, is positively associated with the rate at which the villagers obtain some of these services. In a study of a rural Internet project in India, we identify a positive correlation for two such Internet services: obtaining birth certificates for children and applications for old age pensions. Both these government services are of considerable social and economic value to the citizens. Villagers report that the Internet based services saved them time, money, and effort compared with obtaining the services directly from the government office. We also find that these services can reduce corruption in the delivery of these services. After over one year of successful operation, however, the e-government program was not able to maintain the necessary level of local political and administrative support to remain institutionally viable. As government officers shifted from the region, or grew to find the program a threat, the e-government services faltered. We argue that this failure was due to a variety of Critical Failure Factors. We end with a simple sustainability failure model. In summary, we propose that the e-government program failed to be politically and institutionally sustainable due to people, management, cultural, and structural factors  相似文献   

Turning loose the invisible hand: New Zealand's information technology policy     

Kenneth L. Kraemer  Jason Dedrick 《The Information Society》2013,29(4):365-390

Abstract

Information technology (IT) policy in New Zealand has closely paralleled the broader economic policies that have prevailed in the country. Until the mid‐1980s, economic policy was inwardly oriented, marked by high trade barriers and heavy government regulation. In 1984, the Labor government responded to a balance of payments crisis with a radical program of economic liberalization. By the end of the decade, this process had fundamentally altered the New Zealand economy through deregulation, privatization, and public sector reform.

IT policy likewise moved from protectionism and centralized control to almost pure laissez faire. Tariffs on computer hardware were lowered from 40% to 10%. Government computing was moved from a central data processing bureau and placed under the control of individual departments. In terms of IT production, the government has refused to provide any significant incentives or subsidies to the fledgling software industry, feeling the industry should succeed or fail on its own.

Under laissez faire policies, New Zealand has become a heavy user of IT, ranking behind only Japan in the Asia‐Pacific region for IT spending as a percent of the gross domestic product (GDP). It has also had some success as a producer and exporter of software. However, the hands‐off approach to the industry is likely to prove problematic in an international environment in which many countries have explicit strategies to improve their infrastructure for IT production and/or directly subsidize the industry. New Zealand is unlikely to become a hardware producer, but it has a number of endowments favoring software production, particularly its well‐educated, English‐speaking workforce. However, it faces obstacles, such as a small domestic market, distance from international markets, and a shortage of venture capital. Although software may be a potential growth industry in the ailing New Zealand economy, it is unclear whether the industry can thrive without at least some government support. Even the government now seems to be considering this possibility, and is considering the creation of an IT unit within the Ministry of Commerce.  相似文献

Exercise-induced hypoalgesia: Pain tolerance,preference and tolerance for exercise intensity,and physiological correlates following dynamic circuit resistance exercise     

Brandon A. Baiamonte  Robert R. Kraemer  Chelsea N. Chabreck  Matthew L. Reynolds  Kayla M. McCaleb  Georgia L. Shaheen 《Journal of sports sciences》2017,35(18):1831-1837

Previous research has demonstrated significant decreases in pain perception in healthy individuals following both aerobic and upper body resistance exercise, but research on circuit training has been limited. The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of a strenuous bout of dynamic circuit resistance exercise on pain threshold and pain tolerance in conjunction with changes in blood lactate levels, heart rate (HR), and perceived exertion. A sample of 24 college-age students participated in 2 sessions: (1) a maximal strength testing session and (2) a circuit training bout of exercise that consisted of 3 sets of 12 repetitions with a 1:1 work to rest ratio at 60% one-repetition maximum (1-RM) predicted from a three-repetition maximum (3-RM) for 9 exercises. Participants exhibited increases in pain tolerance, blood lactate levels, HR and perceived exertion following resistance exercise. Preference for exercise intensity was positively correlated with lactate post exercise and tolerance for exercise intensity was positively correlated with pain tolerance and lactate post exercise. In conclusion, this is the first study to demonstrate increases in pain tolerance following a dynamic circuit resistance exercise protocol and disposition for exercise intensity may influence lactate and pain responses to circuit resistance exercise.  相似文献

远亲不如近邻     

Jesse Hunter  WJ 《英语辅导》2014,(1):1

关于邻居的概念,于我而言,更多的是有关童年和少年时的回忆。或许很多人有着与我相似的人生轨迹:童年和少年时期享受着亲密、欢乐的邻里生活;求学时期的后半段离开故土,"邻居"的身份是与"室友"合二为一的;工作后,作为一个"异乡人","邻居"两个字显得最为淡薄,它代表着不同居所里一扇扇紧锁的门,没有感情色彩,拒人于千里。如今,在这个城市安了家,左邻右里,一边是新搬来的租户,一边是一户偶尔住上两三天的人家,还有一户因为刚刚换了"学位房"而搬走了,当然,楼道里更多的是几年来连头也没点过的陌生人。很多时候,走出电梯,看到那一扇比一扇扎实的大铁门,我心中总会泛起一种焦虑,仿佛自己依然是这个城市里多余的"入侵者"。人们总说,儿时的记忆是最深刻的,感受亦然。或许终有一天,我们还能找回一个地方,大家都敞开着大门,等待邻居们一一探索……  相似文献   

日落当前,工作靠边     

Laurie Granieri  WJ 《英语辅导》2013,(8):46-47

我认为下午五点就该放下工作了。在一个严格奉行新教工作道德的国家,这种信念可算是太激进。每周只工作四十小时?我已经看不到有多少人还会在五点钟就打卡下班了。这种事情看起来完全是古旧怪异,与过时的怀表和鞋油无异。我的父亲曾试图教育我勤奋工作、多花时间以及献身事业的重要性。但后来,他却在无意中教会我一些道理,例如在他最后一次下班回家爬上楼梯的时候。  相似文献
