    Abstract : One of the defining features of contemporary zeitgeist is that we live in an era of mediatization – a metaprocess, through (and by) which all everyday relations increasingly depend on networked media technologies and online communication channels.Due to rapid developments in digital electronics, all these Internet- or mobile-enabled platforms, and devices, are prone to the processes of quantification and datafication, and as such, surveillance is a principal dimension that lies at the core of mediatization.

    Abstract : By engaging with COBOL, a detested and would-be obsolete programming language, the dark sides of automation are examined in this thesis: hidden workforces and computational infrastructures that are, in reality, central to the execution and maintenance of global economic and informational flows. Frictions within these flows are made more visible in moments of crisis when asymmetrical power structures are surfaced, as demonstrated in an analysis of the infamous Y2K Bug, its connection to the outsourcing boom in India and the legacy of COBOL.

  7. 25. Contributions of Satellite Geodesy to Post-Glacial Rebound Research

    Author : Seyed Mehdi Shafiei Joud; Lars E. Sjöberg; Mohammad Bagherbandi; Martin Horwath; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Glacial Isostatic Adjustment GIA ; gravimetric GIA modelling; satellite geodesy; Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment GRACE ; independent component analysis ICA ; Geodesy and Geoinformatics; Geodesi och geoinformatik;

    Abstract : Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) is a global and long-term process in the Earth, which began 21.5 millennia ago, according to many ice history modellers. One way to understand the processes of the Earth’s interior, the crustal deformation, and a key correction to estimate the climatological parameters is obtained by studying GIA. READ MORE
