Abstract:
AbstractIn this article, I will attempt to look at the process of modernisation of Malay society under British rule, roughly from 1874 to 1957, from the perspective of Weber's theory of rationalisation. I will be looking at the process of rationalisation in the spheres of public administration, education, science and technology. Contrary to Weber's and Habermas' view of rationalisation as involving value and cultural change prior to social change, I argue that rationalisation as it occurred under conditions of colonisation in the Malay States in late 19th and early 20th centuries, require a different explanatory model in which the rationalisation that occurred was primarily instrumental and utilitarian in nature, not involving value-change, and where science was not institutionalised prior to its professionalisation. This reversal, in the sequential order, in comparison to that found in the European process of rationalisation, results in a different set of consequences and poses a problem for cultural stability and the indigenization of science and technology in Malaysia.

Abstract:
For the Critical Theory tradition of the Frankfurt School, rationalisation is a central concept that refers to the socio-cultural closure of capitalist modernity due to the proliferation of technical, ‘instrumental’ rationality at the expense of some form of political reason. This picture of rationalisation, however, hinges on a separation of technology and politics that is both empirically and philosophically problematic. This article aims to re-conceptualise the rationalisation thesis through a survey of research from science and technology studies and the conceptual framework of Niklas Luhmann's systems theory. It argues that rationalisation indeed exhibits a logic of closure, namely the ‘operational closure’ of sociotechnical systems of measurement, but that this closure in fact produces the historical logics of technical reason and, paradoxically, also generates spaces of critical-political openness. This opens up the theoretical and practical opportunity of connecting the politically just to the technically efficient.

Abstract:
The relationship between cognition and culture is discussed in terms of technology and representation. The computational metaphor is discussed in relation to its providing an account of cognitive and technical development: the role of representation and self-modification through environmental manipulation and the development of open learning from stigmery. A rationalisation for the transformational effects of information and representation is sought in the physical and biological theories of Autokatakinetics and Autopoiesis. The conclusion drawn is that culture, rather than being an intrinsic property of our human phenotype was learned and that cultural cognition is an information transforming system that is inadequately characterised by notions of parameterised deep-structure and that it is an open and potentially unbounded informational system.

Abstract:
Membrane science and technology are recognized today as powerful tools in resolving some important global problems, and developing newer industrial processes, needed from the imperative of sustainable industrial growth. In seawater desalination, for resolving the dramatic increase of freshwater demand in many regions of the world, membrane unitary operations or the combination of some of them in integrated systems are already a real means for producing water from the sea, at lower costs and minimum environmental impact, with a very interesting prospective in particular for poor economy countries. However, membranes are used or are becoming used in some important industrial fields, for developing more efficient productive cycles, with reduced waste of raw-material, reducing the polluting charge by controlling byproduct generation, and reducing overall costs. In the present paper, other than for seawater desalination applications, some industrial applications where membrane technology has led already to match the goal of process intensification are discussed.

SUMMARYThe introduction of Flexible Manufacturing Systems, Cell Technology, and Automated Machining Techniques with the related reduction in manning levels has resulted in the development of tooling systems, tool management systems, and, independent tool magazines to service TURNING MACHINES where a high number of tools are required to cover one shift or unmanned operation.Actual cutting time (production time) represents a value between 5% and 20% of average machine utilisation time, and developments in cutting materials and geometries have largely exhausted rationalisation possibilities in this area.

Abstract:
This thesis paper is a historical study that examines the labor political issues which the movement of Swedish trade unions faced between the years 1966–1985. How did they understand and formulate these problems and what solutions did they present? “The good work” (“Det goda arbetet”) was one such solution which was introduced in 1985 by The Union of Industrial Metalworkers (Metallindustriarbetareförbundet). This thesis explores the underlying ideas and the history behind this visionary program and how it took inspiration from the ideological developments of the previous decades. This is done by analysing four conference reports published in association with yearly union conferences between 1966 and 1985. These reports center around themes of technological development, working conditions, worker power and self determination to name a few.  The analysis focuses on the labor political issues that arose after the establishment of the “Swedish model” and the post-war era economic boom. One of the major ideological developments during the 1960s was the backlash against the fordist model of production and the critique of rationalisation of work in general. This is shown to be one the major shifts in thinking about work which leads towards the development of solutions such as “The good work” during the 1970s and 80s. Furthermore, it is shown how “The good work” was linked historically to alienation theory and sociological research during the period. The key conclusions from the analysis focus on how worker discontent during the late 1960s led to massive labor political reforms during the 1970s along with the larger project of democratising the workplace gaining new life. This development, however, took a turn in 1976 when the social democratic party lost their first election in nearly 40 years. The analysis of the report by The Union of Industrial Metalworkers from 1985 shows the vision of “The good work” as they formulated it to be stuck between two separate eras. On the one hand it was still in conversation with the left-wing project of advancing labor power and democracy from the 1970s. On the other it had to confront the new political landscape of the 1980s and the right-wing turn towards neoliberalism.

La diffusion de la modernisation technologique dans les societes en voie d'industrialisation est etudiee dans le cas de l'industrie automobile bresilienne. Celle-ci est-elle en mesure de remettre en cause les modeles anciens de rationalisation ? autrement dit, la modernisation technologique est-elle ou non porteuse, dans ce cas, d'une nouvelle configuration des systemes industriels. Et si oui, quels en sont-elles les effets socioeconomiques?

Abstract:
Le domaine aérien a connu de nombreuses transformations socio-techniques qui se sont intensifiées dans le contexte contemporain de globalisation des économies. Au centre de ces transformations se trouvent notamment concernées les activités de production d'information et de communication des pilotes et des contrôleurs aériens, maillons indispensables de l'activité de la navigation aérienne. L'articulation technologie, organisation et systèmes d'activités est étudiée à travers la théorie de l'activité (Engeström, 1987) pour saisir l'imbrication de systèmes techniques de plus en plus normés et normalisant, établis par des instances internationales et nationales, et qui doivent être mises en œuvre localement. Avec la notion d'architexte (Jeanneret, 1999), cette recherche interroge le modèle de communication tel qu'inscrit et prescrit dans les systèmes techniques d'échanges pilotes-contrôleurs ; et identifie, à l'aune des pratiques observables, certaines questions-clés qui en résultent au plan des activités de pilotage et de contrôle aérien
The aviation industry has encountered numerous socio-technical transformations that have multiplied due to the contemporary climate of globalisation of economies. Pilots' and air-traffic controllers' information production and communication activities, which are essential to the air navigation activity, are particularly affected. In this paper, the theory of activity (Engeström, 1987) will be used to study the technology-organisation-system articulation. This should provide a deeper understanding of the interweaving of technical systems that are continuously more standardized and standardizing, established by international and national authorities, and that have to be implemented locally. Using the architext approach (Jeanneret, 1999), this research questions the communication model as it is registered and prescribed in the technical systems of pilots' and air-traffic controllers' exchanges. Moreover, it identifies, in light of observable practices, some resulting key questions at the level of piloting and air traffic control activities

Abstract:
AI algorithms today generate creative decisions, such as on note, word or paint placement, out of processing a dataset it receives and, most significantly, in ways not entirely understandable to humans. Where we can thus say AI is being ‘creative’, how, then, may we understand so critical a touchstone of humanness when its creativity seemingly manifests with opacity and unintelligibility? This chapter draws from rationalisations of media to propose a framework of de-familiarisation for the paradoxical task of rationalising technology on its own terms, rather than in comparisons against human abilities. This framework will be analogised out of theorisations of the marionette by Herbert von Kleist (1810) and of the camera via Russian filmmaker Dziga Vertov’s (1923) writings on cinema. It will then be applied to re-think creative AI via the case study of AlphaGo, which made history in 2015 by becoming the first computer programme to beat a human professional player at the game Go. This alternative approach to understanding algorithms thus suggests a different dimension to understanding AI – not one made on human terms, but as a paradoxically impossible approach of the algorithmic being humanly intelligible on its own terms.
