Un Nimbyisme libéral. La mobilisation pour un dessalement « responsable » à Huntington Beach (Californie)
La recherche d’une « transition écologique durable » semble aujourd’hui favoriser des solutions technologiques. Comment les populations réagissent-elles à ces technologies d’adaptation au changement climatique ? S’appuyant sur des données ethnographiques recueillies autour d’un projet d’usine de dessalement à Huntington Beach (Californie), cet article analyse les usages et déploiements des registres de l’« écologisme » et de l’« adaptation ». L’o…
Australian Teen Voices on Age Verification and Age Assurance Measures
Age verification and age assurance technologies, including biometrics, facial recognition software and digital identification, have been explored as potential measures to restrict access of young people to social media and sexually explicit media (SEM), including pornography. However, there is limited data regarding how teens targeted by such restrictions feel about such strategies. Drawing on qualitative interviews with Australian teens and pre‐…
Do parents ‘know best’ when it comes to their teenaged children’s experiences of sexual content online
In 2010, the EU Kids Online project, and aligned AU Kids Online study, interviewed one parent and one child (9–16) from 25,542 families across 26 countries. Information gathered included parents’ awareness of their child’s experiences of sexual content online. This dataset has since been updated by recent ethnographic work in Australia and Ireland, capturing parents’ approaches to managing their children’s (11–17) digital engagement with sexual c…
“I don’t think I’ve been permanently scarred or anything”: Irish Teens’ Preferences around Discussing Porn with Peers, Teachers, and Parents
Introduction In 2021, the (Irish) “National Survey of Children, Their Parents, and Adults Regarding Online Safety” (NACOS) showed that 18% of 9- to 17-year-olds reported seeing sexual content on the Internet in the past year. For comparison, the “EU Kids Online” 2020 study of 19 European countries reported an average of 33% of 9- to 16-year-olds seeing such images in the past year, positioning Ireland very much at the lower end of the European sp…
Divergent urban land trajectories under alternative population projections within the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways
Population change is a main driver behind global environmental change, including urban land expansion. In future scenario modeling, assumptions regarding how populations will change locally, despite identical global constraints of Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), can have dramatic effects on subsequent regional urbanization. Using a spatial modeling experiment at high resolution (1 km), this study compared how two alternative US population p…
Progressing children’s right to be heard in public decision-making: Perspectives on using social and digital media to facilitate children’s participation
Children’s right to be heard is expressed in Article 12 of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child. Mechanisms and methods to facilitate the inclusion of young people’s views have been developed by youth workers, advocates and policy-makers and include diverse consultation approaches, including surveys, polls, consultation meetings and formal structures such as youth parliaments. Even though social and digital media are now pervasive in th…

Bien qu’il y ait un intérêt grandissant dans la recherche en sciences sociales sur la réalité des personnes migrantes marginalisées, telle que celles appartenant à la population LGBTQ+, on dispose de très peu d’études dans la littérature québécoise sur les meilleures stratégies d’implication des personnes concernées dans la construction des savoirs. Cet article vise à contribuer à la diffusion de la connaissance empirique et autoréflexive sur l’i…
Have You Asked for It? An Exploratory Study About Maltese Adolescents’ Use of Ask.fm
This article focuses on adolescents’ use of anonymous social networking sites (SNSs). Their perceptions and attitudes toward one such platform, Ask.fm, are discussed using the framework of uses and gratifications theory to explore motivations for using it. Four focus groups and four interviews were carried out with 22 Maltese adolescents (10 female and 12 male) aged 11 to 16 years. Thematic analysis of data collected was undertaken to identify an…
Where policy and practice collide: Comparing United States, South African and European Union approaches to protecting children online
That children have a right to protection when they go online is an internationally well-established principle, upheld in laws that seek to safeguard children from online abuse and exploitation. However, children’s own transgressive behaviour can test the boundaries of this protection regime, creating new dilemmas for lawmakers the world over. This article examines the policy response from both the Global North and South to young people’s online b…
The Shared Socio-economic Pathways: Trajectories for human development and global environmental change
Sensitivity of regional climate to global temperature and forcing
The sensitivity of regional climate to global average radiative forcing and temperature change is important for setting global climate policy targets and designing scenarios. Setting effective policy targets requires an understanding of the consequences exceeding them, even by small amounts, and the effective design of sets of scenarios requires the knowledge of how different emissions, concentrations, or forcing need to be in order to produce su…
Mobile Technologies and the Incidence of Cyberbullying in Seven European Countries: Findings from Net Children Go Mobile
The harmful effects of bullying and harassment on children have long been of concern to parents, educators, and policy makers. The online world presents a new environment in which vulnerable children can be victimized and a space where perpetrators find new ways to perform acts of harassment. While online bullying is often considered to be an extension of persistent offline behavior, according to EU Kids Online (2011), the most common form of bul…
A comprehensive view on climate change: Coupling of earth system and integrated assessment models
There are several reasons to strengthen the cooperation between the integrated assessment (IA) and earth system (ES) modeling teams in order to better understand the joint development of environmental and human systems. This cooperation can take many different forms, ranging from information exchange between research communities to fully coupled modeling approaches. Here, we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches and try to …
Media Effects in Context
This chapter contains sections titled: Introduction Effects Research in Historical Context Children and Media Effects Conclusion: The Uses of Effects Research References
Media Literacy and Communication Rights
The dominant discourse of media literacy policy espouses an ethical individualism within the digital media environment in which the source of moral values and principles, and the basis of ethical evaluation, is the individual. In this perspective, even vulnerable citizens such as children and young people, who tend to be in the vanguard of new media adoption, are required to negotiate the risks and opportunities of the online world with diminishi…
Current policy developments in European media literacy
In August of 2009, the European Commission issued a formal recommendation on media literacy adding to a series of initiatives underway since 2006 to build a comprehensive European media literacy policy (Commission of the European Communities 2009). Media literacy is now a well-established concept referring to the ability to critically understand and use media in a variety of contexts (see Aufderheide 1997). Recognising that the way people use med…
Gas hydrates: Entrance to a methane age or climate threat
Climate change is projected to negatively impact biophysical agricultural productivity in much of the world. Actions taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate future climate changes, are thus of central importance for agricultural production. Climate impacts are, however, not unidirectional; some crops in some regions (primarily higher latitudes) are projected to benefit, particularly if increased atmospheric carbon dioxide is assumed…
DAB Eureka-147: A European vision for digital radio
Like its analogue counterpart, digital radio is one of the 'older' forms of new media. The technology of digital radio broadcasting has been under active development for at least 25 years and has produced a number of different technical solutions, the longest established of which is Eureka-147 or Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB). This article explores DAB's distinctly European vision for the future of broadcasting. DAB is traced to its origins in…
Digital Audio Broadcasting in Canada: Technology and Policy in the Transition to Digital Radio
This article presents an overview of digital radio policy in Canada in the period 1995 to 2005 and the attempt to implement the Eureka-147 Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) standard as the replacement technology for analog AM and FM broadcasting. Canada was an early adopter of this system, but unfavourable conditions have led it to largely abandon the approach in favour of a multiplatform system. The interaction between industry, government regula…
Lifting the veil: The arts, broadcasting and Irish society
This article examines the role played by broadcasting in Irish artistic and cultural life from independence in 1922 to 1960 with the onset of formal modernization. It examines the cultural context for the arts in early independent Ireland in which a mood of ambivalence and sometimes outright hostility to high culture prevailed. Rather than a profound disjunction between pre- and post-modernizing phases of Irish history, however, this article argu…

The Elliott Site (14Ge303): A Preliminary Report
Initial work at the Elliott site, Geary County, Kansas, reveals three cultural components: Archaic (Munkers Creek?), Woodland, and Smoky Hill, spatially distributed over the site in five clusters. The Woodland cluster (14GE312) was tested and is reported here. The data suggest a tentative Schultz focus affiliation
