Abstract:
Regarding digital platforms in recent years, the abuse of a platform’s dominant position, applications monitoring user behaviour, the difficulty of exiting digital platforms, and the inability of users to transfer data on platforms have become increasingly acute, which makes the evaluation of the openness of digital platforms extremely urgent. This paper applies the relatively objective entropy-weighted TOPSIS method to construct a digital platform openness index (DPOI) to evaluate the openness of 22 digital platforms in China. The research found that there are certain institutional constraints and obstacles in the access, transaction, exit, and transfer of different types of digital platform, and it is necessary to sustainably improve the openness of digital platforms to bring convenience to users in the future. Our results not only update the practical data on the openness of emerging digital platforms, but also enrich the literature in the field of digital platform openness, which has significant implications for evaluating the openness of digital platforms in emerging markets such as China.

Abstract:
Decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) are becoming increasingly popular. Digital clinical trial platforms are software environments where users complete designated clinical trial tasks, providing investigators and trial participants with efficient tools to support trial activities and streamline trial processes. In particular, digital platforms with a modular architecture lend themselves to DCTs, where individual trial activities can correspond to specific platform modules. While design features can allow users to customize their platform experience, the real strengths of digital platforms for DCTs are enabling centralized data capture and remote monitoring of trial participants and in using digital technologies to streamline workflows and improve trial management. When selecting a platform for use in a DCT, sponsors and investigators must consider the specific trial requirements. All digital platforms are limited in their functionality and technical capabilities. Integrating additional functional modules into a central platform may solve these challenges, but few commercial platforms are open to integrating third-party components. The lack of common data standardization protocols for clinical trials will likely limit the development of one-size-fits-all digital platforms for DCTs. This viewpoint summarizes the current role of digital platforms in supporting decentralized trial activities, including a discussion of the potential benefits and challenges of digital platforms for investigators and participants. We will highlight the role of the digital platform in the development of DCTs and emphasize where existing technology is functionally limiting. Finally, we will discuss the concept of the ideal fully integrated and unified DCT and the obstacles developers must address before it can be realized.

Abstract:
Purpose This paper aims to test the “winner-takes-all” vs the “winner-takes-some” scenarios in digital platform competition dynamics in emerging markets. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses an analytical reference framework to assess the emergence of digital platforms in Russia, including four elements: definition of multi-sided platforms (MSPs), platform enablers, business models and competitive dynamics. Findings This paper concludes that Russia shows that a healthy competition between national and foreign MSPs led to the emergence of a shared equilibrium, where local platforms were able to retain a significant, often majority, share vis-à-vis foreign and global platforms. Research limitations/implications This paper stands as a counterpoint to the widespread conviction that digital platform dynamics will result into a “winner-takes-all” scenario and dominance of global platforms. Practical implications This case study offers practical data and analysis that can be used to create a baseline and evaluate the dynamics of digital platforms in emerging markets. It offers data, trends and evidence on Russia’s digital economy. Social implications This research provides a logical framework to help policymakers take decisions on a policy framework to regulate platforms in emerging markets. The good outcome of competition between local and foreign platforms should emerge as a policy objective to achieve in most emerging markets. Originality/value This case study is the first baseline to assess the dynamics of competition between national and foreign digital platforms in the Russian market. It is one of the first papers to tackle the market of digital platforms in an emerging and developing economy. It tries to address the debate between “winner-takes-all” and “winner-takes some” competition equilibrium through a concrete case study in an important G20 emerging market economy.

Abstract:
AbstractSilicon photonics has been established as a mature and promising technology for optoelectronic integrated circuits, mostly based on the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguide platform. However, not all optical functionalities can be satisfactorily achieved merely based on silicon, in general, and on the SOI platform, in particular. Long-known shortcomings of silicon-based integrated photonics are optical absorption (in the telecommunication wavelengths) and feasibility of electrically-injected lasers (at least at room temperature). More recently, high two-photon and free-carrier absorptions required at high optical intensities for third-order optical nonlinear effects, inherent lack of second-order optical nonlinearity, low extinction ratio of modulators based on the free-carrier plasma effect, and the loss of the buried oxide layer of the SOI waveguides at mid-infrared wavelengths have been recognized as other shortcomings. Accordingly, several novel waveguide platforms have been developing to address these shortcomings of the SOI platform. Most of these emerging platforms are based on heterogeneous integration of other material systems on silicon substrates, and in some cases silicon is integrated on other substrates. Germanium and its binary alloys with silicon, III–V compound semiconductors, silicon nitride, tantalum pentoxide and other high-index dielectric or glass materials, as well as lithium niobate are some of the materials heterogeneously integrated on silicon substrates. The materials are typically integrated by a variety of epitaxial growth, bonding, ion implantation and slicing, etch back, spin-on-glass or other techniques. These wide range of efforts are reviewed here holistically to stress that there is no pure silicon or even group IV photonics per se. Rather, the future of the field of integrated photonics appears to be one of heterogenization, where a variety of different materials and waveguide platforms will be used for different purposes with the common feature of integrating them on a single substrate, most notably silicon.

Abstract:
This study aims to explore the role of e-commerce platforms in facilitating market entry for emerging entrepreneurs, examining the benefits, challenges, and overall impact of these platforms. This qualitative study utilized semi-structured interviews with 25 emerging entrepreneurs to gather in-depth insights into their experiences with e-commerce platforms. The interviews focused on various aspects of platform usage, support and resources provided, challenges faced, and the outcomes of utilizing these platforms. Data were analyzed using NVivo software to identify key themes and subthemes, with theoretical saturation guiding the data collection process. Five main themes emerged from the data analysis: (1) E-commerce Platform Usage, encompassing platform selection, initial setup, features and tools, user experience, and integration with other systems; (2) Support and Resources, including educational resources, financial support, technical assistance, marketing support, and networking opportunities; (3) Challenges and Barriers, such as technical issues, financial barriers, competition, and regulatory issues; (4) Outcomes and Impact, highlighting business growth, market access, brand development, and diversified revenue streams; and (5) Entrepreneurial Experience, covering the learning curve, work-life balance, community support, motivation and goals, and adaptability. E-commerce platforms play a crucial role in enabling market entry and supporting business growth for emerging entrepreneurs. These platforms provide essential infrastructure, tools, and resources that simplify business operations and enhance market reach. However, entrepreneurs face challenges related to technical issues, financial constraints, competition, and regulatory complexities.

Abstract:
Users share a large amount of information with modern platforms such as web platforms and social platforms for various services. However, they face the risk of information leakage because modern platforms still lack proper security policies. Existing security policies, such as permission systems and isolation, can help regulate information sharing. However, these policies have problems, such as coarse granularity, bad usability, and incompleteness, especially when new features are introduced. I investigate the security impacts of new features in web and mobile platforms and find design problems that lead to user information leakage. Based on these analyses, I propose design principles for permission systems that mediate how information should be shared in modern and emerging platforms, such as web and social platforms, to provide functionality with privacy preserved. I aim to design permission systems that only allow least-privilege information access. Specifically, I utilize program analysis and natural language processing to understand how applications use sensitive data and correlate these data with their functionality. With this understanding, I design schemes that ask for user consent about unexpected information access and automatically reduce overprivileged access. I provide guidelines for platform designers to build their permission systems according to respective adversary models and resources. In particular, I implement the new permission system for social platforms and Internet of Things (IoT) platforms that enable least-privilege information sharing. For the social platforms, I incorporate the primitives of Opaque handle, Opaque display, and User-driven access control (OOU) to design a least-privilege, user-friendly, developer-friendly, and feature-rich permission system. According to my study on Facebook, OOU can be applied to remove or replace 81.2% of sensitive permission instances without affecting functionality. For IoT platforms, I present a new authorization framework, SmartAuth, that supports user-centric, semantic-based authorization. SmartAuth automatically collects security-relevant information from an IoT application’s description, code, and annotations, and generates an authorization user interface to bridge the gap between the functionalities explained to the user and the operations the application actually performs.

Abstract:
L’objectiu principal d’aquesta tesi és l’exploració de noves fronteres en l’àrea de sensors químics. Primerament, a través del desenvolupament de nous enfocs per construir sensors químics vestibles. Seguidament, a través de la generació de noves maneres de sensar electròlits en mostres reals. La potenciometria i la detecció òptica seran les tècniques utilitzades. L’ús de la potenciometria cap al 1900, amb els elèctrodes selectius de ions (ESI), ha anat canviant i la revolució va començar amb la miniaturització d’aquests ESI amb l’aparició de la necessitat de sensors per monitoritzar el nostre estat de salut, juntament amb la tendència de desenvolupar sensors vestibles. Aquesta tesi, llavors, ha estat el punt d’inici per al desenvolupament de sensors incorporats en plataformes vestibles, per acabar mesurant electròlits en fluids biològics. També, aquesta tesi s’ha focalitzat en la millora de les membranes selectives polimèriques, específicament per un analit. Durant la última dècada, hi ha hagut un avenç considerable i recerca de nous receptors per molècules clínicament rellevants present en el nostre cos. Per exemple, la introducció d’un nou receptor artificial (calix[4]pyrrole) per creatinina ha sigut un resultat molt important d’aquesta tesi. La creatinina és la segona molècula més detectada rutinàriament analitzada després de la glucosa, fet el qual probablement pot obrir la porta cap al mercat després d’aquesta tesi. Finalment, la potenciometria no ha estat l’única tècnica utilitzada en aquesta tesi, sinó que també s’ha utilitzat la tècnica òptica. El repte més important, demostrat en aquesta tesi, és la detecció d’anions difícilment detectables amb la potenciometria, com per exemple l’anió sulfat.<br>El objetivo principal de esta tesis es la exploración de nuevas fronteras en el área de sensores químicos.

First, through the development of novel approaches to build wearable chemical sensing devices. Second, through the generation of new sensing approaches to determine electrolytes in liquid samples. Potentiometry as well as optical detection techniques will be used. Since potentiometry was firstly used at the beginning of 1900, with classical ion-selective electrodes (ISEs), this technique have constantly been changing and the revolution of this technique started with the miniaturization of these ISEs in combination with the real need of sensors for monitoring our health status, which has merged in a new trend to develop wearable sensors. This thesis has, then, been the starting point to develop potentiometric sensors embedded in wearable platforms, being finally used for measuring electrolytes in biological fluids. Also, this thesis has been focused on the improvement of the ion-selective polymeric membrane sensitive to one specific electrolyte. In the last decade, there has been a considerable advance and research of new receptors for clinically relevant molecules present in our body. For example, the introduction of a new artificial receptor (calix[4]pyrrole) for creatinine has been a significant milestone in this thesis. Creatinine is the second most important molecule routinely analyzed after glucose, thus likely to open a path to the market beyond this thesis. Finally, potentiometry has not been the only technique used in this thesis but also optical technique. The real challenge, overcome in this thesis, has been to sense anions selectively, especially the ones that currently are hardly measured with potentiometry, such as for example sulphate.

Abstract:
Malicious software or malware are constantly on the rise and lately, we observe threats that differ from what we have seen before. Threats tend to penetrate through existing prevention measures thus a choice of studying recent malware was highly appealing. To narrow down the research, a selection of analysing the emerging threat landscape on mobile platforms was chosen due to its progressive publicity. The study’s result section has been divided into three separate parts. The first chapter of the results, consists of a Problem Analysis which covers the topic regarding crucial aspects of mobile devices, how user behaviour affects the probability of plausible infections. Also, a questionnaire has been sent out to 100 participants to discover particular user behaviour with a mobile device. Second chapter Malware Research explores previous and recent detected malware, in addition to their characteristics. Last chapter Security Policy, provides a functional IT security policy that can be implemented and used as a guideline in organisations. The policy is primarily intended to guide mobile users towards safer management and usage in a workplace or of personal use. Research revealed that there is a significant link between user behaviour and device management for a mobile user to get potentially infected by malware. Furthermore, mobile malware is progressive and continuously adapting from users habits of devices and applications.

Lee, Jinwoo. "Cultural branding of young and emerging contemporary artists : the role of art fairs and online platforms." Thesis, University of Kent, 2018. https://kar.kent.ac.uk/67652/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis aims to analyse the process of branding young and emerging artists in the contemporary art market, focusing on the valuation of works of art. The ambiguous borderline of being a work of art in terms of appearance poses a challenge for the market, which requires an explanation of its symbolic value and meaning. A thick, multifarious group of intermediaries in the art world contributes to the construction of legitimacy for artists and their artworks, engendering the understanding of such value. Through the legitimation process, artworks by young and emerging artists are rendered accepted and validated, thereby branding them. Some researchers on arts marketing have explored the valuation process by applying socio-cultural perspective on branding. However, such application has empirically overlooked two important mediums: art fairs and online platforms. Theoretically, the complex and fluid valuation structure in the art market, driven by the uncertain value of contemporary art and the repositioning of inner members of the art world, is a compelling research issue to be explored at the societal level. To do so, this thesis begins with investigating Andy Warhol's Brillo Box. This research also explores Frieze London and the Other Art Fair by collecting data from direct observation and secondary sources. The research additionally conducts an instrumental case study of Saatchi Art, using data from interviews, observation, and document reviews. The key finding of the historical case is that the legitimacy of Warhol and his artworks was shaped by various elements such as the intermediaries, a myth in society, an artistic movement, the artists' persona and social networks. Moreover, the empirical cases of art fairs and an online platform enact the functions of discovering, introducing, instructing, and including young and emerging artists. This indicates that these institutions play the role of intermediaries and contribute to framing the legitimacy of the artists and artworks, thereby branding new artists. Although art fairs and an online platform hold varying positions in the hierarchical order of valuing artworks in the art world (depending on the extent of their accumulated symbolic value), it is noteworthy that such mediums, which did not exist in the hierarchical structure before the twentieth century, have become important insiders in the structure. However, this research concludes that this change does not substantially reconstitute the stratified structure of the art world that has existed prior to their emergence. The theoretical contribution of this thesis lies in extending the application of Holt's (2004) theory of cultural branding to the context of arts. Building on the recent literature on cultural branding of artists (Kerrigan et al. 2011; Hewer, Brownlie and Kerrigan 2013; Muñiz, Norris and Fine 2014; Preece and Kerrigan 2015; Rodner and Preece 2015), this thesis conceptualises the process of legitimising young and emerging artists and their artworks as normative and cultural-cognitive legitimacy shaped by intermediaries through the stages of discovery, introduction, instruction, and selection. Moreover, by drawing on sociological arguments by Becker (1984) and Bourdieu (1996), the conceptual framework of the present study acknowledges the hierarchical structure of the art market and intricate interactions among intermediaries in the art world.

Abstract:
Polymer-based nanoparticles tackle many different fields, from extrinsic self-healing materials to cosmetics, from electronics to nanophotonics. This is mainly due to the wide range of applications and market needs that polymers have been satisfying since their discovery. Moreover, polymer nanoparticles in the submicrometric dimensional range have been obtained by different methods. However, the scientific community is still debating whether bulk polymer properties are retained in this nanostructures or not. In this work, a method for the in-situ monitoring of polymer chains aggregation state within polystyrene nanoparticles (NPs) based on the time-resolved fluorescence of a tailored molecular rotor was developed. Differently from previous literature, this technique was calibrated and compared with standard differential scanning calorimetry, in order to have a replicable and robust standard reference. The results leaded to the conclusion that bulk polymer properties related to glass transition are conserved even in nanoparticles of some tens of nm in radius. This observation was used as an important paradigm towards the preparation and application of biphasic polymer-based nanoparticles. With this regard, an optimized semicontinuous emulsion polymerization protocol for the preparation of Poly(n-Butyl Acrylate)@Polystyrene (PBA@PS) core@shell NPs was developed. These nanostructures were found to behave as force-responsive nano-objects, leading to the first example of baroplasticity detected on a single particle scale. Beyond the basic research interest on the nanomorphology evolution under non-equilibrium stress, this result can be interesting in manufacturing a new class of sealing nanoadditives in the field of extrinsic self-healing materials. We demonstrated that PBA@PS NPs can have even other applications. Namely, PBA@PS nanoparticles were used as nanocontainers for lipophilic derivatives of a bio-compatible dye and as nanoemitters for sensitized up-conversion (SUC). In order to overcome some SUC limits of PBA@PS NPs, liquid-core nanocapsules composed by a n-hexadecane (HD) core embedded in a plastomer poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) shell were prepared. The preparation protocol of such nanocapsules was optimized in order to use them as nano-additives to be delivered within self-standing Proof-of-Concept polymer materials. Particularly, a poly(vinyl alcohol) bulk SUC film was prepared and found to be effective even in ambient conditions, demonstrating the potentialities of this system for everyday-applications. Besides, HD@PMMA nanocontainers were used for encapsulating oxide nanocrystals for the preparation of hybrid polymer materials with enhanced refractive index. The nano-oxide loading within the HD core was so high to inhibit either the crystallization of HD and the aggregation of the nanocrystals. Thanks to these capabilities, the oxide-loaded nanocapsules have been used during the bulk polymerization of MMA, obtaining a bulk sample of PMMA with improved refractive index and naked eye transparency. Concluding, examples about the applicability of polymer nanoparticles as smart additives within formulations for the preparation of hierarchical functional materials in the contest of a more sustainable chemistry for materials science applications are devised in this work.

Several academics believe that a dominant factor is that winners are able to create robust and effective product platforms. These platforms are able to cater to changing customer needs. On the winning side, the platform leader is effectively able to manage the various conflicts that are present in the platform ecosystem. On the loosing team, often there is no platform leader!I believe that effective platform leadership, platform architecture play a key role in product success.In this thesis, I plan to compare two large platforms. These are the IPTV platform and the conventional cable based TV platform. Both are competing with each other to provide similar services to the same customer set. I have coined the term 'Mega Platform" to describe such large platforms. . As part of this comparison I will develop a set of metrics or comparison points which will help compare the two competing platforms. Please note that the purpose of this thesis is not to prove that there is a strong correlation between platform success and market success.<br>by Shantnu Sharma.<br>S.M.

Abstract:
The future of work is at the centre of debates related to the emerging digital society. Concerns range from the inclusion, equity, and dignity of those at the far end of the value chain, who participate on and off platforms, often in the shadows, invisible to policymakers, designers, and consumers. Precarity and informality characterize this largely female workforce, across sectors ranging from artisanal work to salon services to ride hailing and construction. A feminist reimagining of the futures of work—what we term as “FemWork” —is the need of the day and should manifest in multiple and various forms, placing the worker at the core and drawing on her experiences, aspirations, and realities. This volume offers grounded insights from academic, activist, legal, development and design perspectives that can help us think through these inclusive futures and possibly create digital, social, and governance infrastructures of work that are fairer and more meaningful.

Abstract:
Vibrational spectroscopies - and especially infrared spectroscopy - play an increasingly important role in modern biodiagnostics, environmental analysis, and food safety/quality scenarios. This has led to the evolution of mid-infrared photonics from an emerging tool into an enabling technology. With applications ranging from non-invasive exhaled breath analysis to in-vivo assessment of cartilage damage, mid-infrared (MIR; 3-20 μm) photonics ranges among the most flexible molecular sensing platforms nowadays available. In particular, with the emergence of quantum and interband cascade laser technology along with advanced MIR waveguide concepts the on-chip hybridization and/or integration of entire MIR sensing devices is on the horizon ultimately leading to IR-lab-on-chip systems.

Full text
Abstract:
Digital learning platforms (DLPs) can transform educational research by serving as infrastructure that bridges the gap between practice and research. This white paper examines the progress of DLPs in SEERNet, a multi-year initiative funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), which aims to advance research infrastructure. Through coordinated efforts among platform developers, researchers, and practitioners, SEERNet members have addressed both expected and emerging challenges. The paper seeks to support others who are seeking to share platform data with researchers by clarifying the range of requirements. Some requirements were expected; others were emergent. Expected requirements, such as enhancing platform data capabilities, enabling experimental research designs, and protecting data privacy, have focused on technical improvements to support scalable and rigorous research. Emerging needs included the creation of standardized workflows, development of researcher outreach strategies, and establishment of templates for institutional review board (IRB) approvals and data-sharing agreements. In addition, fostering a peer review community attuned to the unique affordances and constraints of DLP-based research has emerged as a shared priority. This working paper reflects on lessons learned from SEERNet’s efforts, highlighting innovations in data documentation, experimental workflows, and collaborative relationship building.

Abstract:
It provides a comprehensive overview of how these innovations are being employed to enhance efficiency and sustainability in agricultural practices, covering topics such as regenerative agriculture, precision agriculture, and agricultural technologies (AgTech). The report concludes with an analysis of the challenges and opportunities faced by farmers during the process of technology adoption. The document is structured around the different stages of the agricultural cycle: soil preparation, sowing operations, crop protection and management, smart harvesting, and digital harvest management. For each stage, relevant technological solutions are described, such as soil and climate sensors, planting robots, pest management and irrigation systems, as well as digital management platforms. The analysis follows a deductive approach, tailored to the Mexican context, while considering local crop types and farming formats. The most recent available data have been considered, and where Mexico-specific information was unavailable, regional information or insights from similar crops in comparable areas have been included. The report also highlights technologies excluded due to high risks or implementation costs, offering detailed justifications for these exclusions.

Abstract:
This paper presents a conceptual exploration of how Digital Learning Platforms (DLPs) can be utilized to investigate the impact of language clarity, precision, engagement, and contextual relevance on mathematics learning from word problems. Focusing on three distinct DLPs—ASSISTments/E-TRIALS, MATHia/UpGrade, and Canvas/Terracotta—we propose hypothetical studies aimed at uncovering how nuanced language modifications can enhance mathematical understanding and engagement. While these studies are illustrative in nature, they provide a blueprint for researchers interested in leveraging DLPs for empirical investigation so that future investigators gain a better understanding of the emerging infrastructure for research in DLPs and the opportunities provided by them. In highlighting three distinct implementations of the same core research question, we reveal both commonalities as well as differences in how different educational technologies might build evidence, offering a unique opportunity to advance the field of math education and other education research fields.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper seeks to shed some light on the different considerations for regulation and governance of ride-hailing platforms in emerging markets, highlighting their positive and negative externalities. Building on an extensive review of the literature and secondary sources, we outline Ride-hailing's identified and potential effects on users (providers and consumers), incumbents, and society. Based on the welfare impacts structure, we identify the significant challenges that regulators face in understanding, monitoring, evaluating, and regulating this type of transportation innovation. Finally, the paper proposes a framework for approaching such mobility innovations from governance and regulation perspectives. In a context of exponential growth in research and innovation in urban mobility in general and Ride-hailing, a rigorous review of the literature and a critical framework for understanding governance and regulation in such services in rapidly changing contexts is a timely contribution.

Full text
Abstract:
Stakeholder engagement is an important component in developing policies on critical issues such as the use and development of novel methods and technologies, including biotechnologies and nanotechnologies. Understanding the perspectives, needs, and concerns of stakeholder groups can facilitate the development of transparent and trusted policy recommendations. Innovative online research platforms have been developed as alternatives to typical stakeholder engagement methods such as in-person focus groups, interviews, and online and paper surveys. These platforms facilitate the engagement of geographically and linguistically (i.e., individuals who speak different languages) diverse stakeholders using a wide range of methods, from virtual focus groups to surveys. Stakeholders can participate at their own leisure and anonymously, which can facilitate more open interactions on issues where viewpoints may differ. In this work, we used an online stakeholder engagement platform (OSEP) to engage stakeholders and capture their perceptions and views about the application of nanotechnology in food and agriculture (nano-agrifood) and the role of responsible innovation in the development of nano-agrifood products. The OSEP provided a reliable and interactive environment for stakeholders to share their views and exchange ideas. Such OSEPs should be further explored as novel tools for engaging stakeholders on a range of issues from emerging technologies to public health.

Colomb, Claire, and Tatiana Moreira de Souza. Regulating Short-Term Rentals: Platform-based property rentals in European cities: the policy debates. Property Research Trust, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.52915/kkkd3578.

Full text
Abstract:
Short-term rentals mediated by digital platforms have positive and negative impacts that are unevenly distributed among socio-economic groups and places. Detrimental impacts on the housing market and quality of life of long-term residents have been particular contentious in some cities. • In the 12 cities studied in the report (Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Milan, Paris, Prague, Rome and Vienna), city governments have responded differently to the growth of short-term rentals. • The emerging local regulations of short-term rentals take multiple forms and exhibit various degrees of stringency, ranging from rare cases of laissez-faire to a few cases of partial prohibition or strict quantitative control. Most city governments have sought to find a middle-ground approach that differentiates between the professional rental of whole units and the occasional rental of one’s home/ primary residence. • The regulation of short-term rentals is contentious and highly politicised. Six broad categories of interest groups and non-state actors actively participate in the debates with contrasting positions: advocates of the ‘sharing’ or ‘collaborative’ economy; corporate platforms; professional organisatons of short-term rental operators; new associations of hosts or ‘home-sharers’; the hotel and hospitality industry; and residents’ associations/citizens’ movements. • All city governments face difficulties in implementing and enforcing the regulations, due to a lack of sufficient resources and to the absence of accurate and comprehensive data on individual hosts. That data is held by corporate platforms, which have generally not accepted to release it (with a few exceptions) nor to monitor the content of their listings against local rules. • The relationships between platforms and city governments have oscillated between collaboration and conflict. Effective implementation is impossible without the cooperation of platforms. • In the context of the European Union, the debate has taken a supranational dimension, as two pieces of EU law frame the possibility — and acceptable forms — of regulation of online platforms and of short-term rentals in EU member states: the 2000 E-Commerce Directive and the 2006 Services Directive. • For regulation to be effective, the EU legal framework should be revised to ensure platform account- ability and data disclosure. This would allow city (and other ti ers of) governments to effectively enforce the regulations that they deem appropriate. • Besides, national and regional governments, who often control the legislative framework that defines particular types of short-term rentals, need to give local governments the necessary tools to be able to exercise their ‘right to regulate’ in the name of public interest objectives.

Full text
Abstract:
In Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), significant proportions of students struggle to attain basic competencies in reading and mathematics. To address this issue, traditional practices like grade repetition are prevalent, leading to delayed access to grade-level education and overcrowded classrooms. However, emerging research challenges the effectiveness of this approach. Instead, an innovative solution gaining traction is Accelerated Learning, rooted in neuroscience and psychology. It emphasizes learner-centered pedagogy, socioemotional development, and collaboration with families. EdTech platforms also present promising opportunities for learning acceleration. These approaches mark a paradigm shift towards holistic, student-centered learning solutions that aim to enhance educational outcomes and bridge learning gaps.

Full text
Abstract:
Amid geopolitical uncertainties, it is imperative for the Philippines to reassess its definition of critical industries to ensure economic resilience and national security. This Policy Note observes that the current definition of critical industries, primarily outlined in the Public Service Act of 2022, is limited to public utilities. The authors recommend expanding this definition to include emerging sectors such as renewable energy and digital technologies. By doing so, the Philippines can better address vulnerabilities and strengthen its industries. Additionally, the authors suggest leveraging platforms like the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation to foster multilateral collaboration, diversify supply chains, and enhance economic stability. Finally, they emphasize the importance of adopting a multihorizon strategy to mitigate risks, enhance domestic capacities, and secure sustainable growth.

Zacamy, Jenna, and Jeremy Roschelle. Navigating the Tensions: How Could Equity-relevant Research Also Be Agile, Open, and Scalable? Digital Promise, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.51388/20.500.12265/159.

Full text
Abstract:
Digital learning platforms are beginning to become open to research. Specifically, in our work in SEERNet, developers are extending five platforms, each used in either K-12 or higher education by more than 100,000 users, to enable third-party researchers to explore, develop, and test improvements. SEERNet seeks to enable equity-relevant research aligned with the IES Standards for Excellence in Education Research (SEER) principles. It also seeks to support research that is more agile (or rapid), is more open, and scales from research to impacts on practice. We review the emerging tensions among the goal of equity-relevant research and desires for agile, open, and scalable research. We argue that designing and developing technical capabilities for agile, open, and scalable research will not be enough. Based on a series of interviews we conducted with experts in social sciences and equity-focused research, we argue that researchers will have to rethink how they plan and undertake their research. Five shifts could help. First, researchers could deliberately reframe their designs away from a comprehensive, monolithic study to smaller, agile cycles that test a smaller conjecture each time. Second, researchers could shift from designing new educational resources to determining how well-used resources could be elaborated and refined to address equity issues. Third, researchers could utilize variables that capture student experiences to investigate equity when they cannot obtain student demographic variables. Fourth, researchers could work in partnership with educators on equity problems that educators prioritize and want help in solving. Fifth, researchers could acknowledge that achieving equity is not only a technological or resource-design problem, but requires working at the classroom and systems levels too. In SEERNet, we look forward to working with the research community to find ways to address equity through research using well-used digital learning platforms, and to simultaneously conduct research that is more agile, more open, and more directly applicable at scale.
