The way the peace negotiators shape the new order in the air may well have a decisive influence on the fate of mankind for generations to come. When the peace negotiators come to consider the status of the airspace and the problems of air communications, there will be not only specific questions of commercial interest and the potential military value of these communications requiring their attention, but they will have to realize that, as the energies of more and more men seek scope in the air, resulting in a general outward impulse of the nations, issues of vital moment affecting the welfare of mankind are at stake. It is clear that the solution of this problem will be determined, to a great extent, by the solution of the problem as to the form or constitution of the new international political order, which is closely bound up with the future of the group-unit of power.

This chapter argues that revolution is not separate from the very discourse and arrangements it responds to. Rather, it is subsumed in a legitimation discourse, and it is engulfed by similar tensions. Although revolution may erupt because of a perceived legitimacy deficit, it does not solve the conceptual deficiency of legitimacy. This is because revolution vacillates between an event that inaugurated it and a process that seeks to complete it. This duality makes revolution a contradictory concept that includes its own negation because different protagonists deploy it in contradictory ways. The very qualities that enable the designation of the Arab Spring as a revolution enable the counter-revolution. In other words, revolution does not provide a stable, unambiguous framework within which the new political order can be established. Consequently, the revolution’s attempt to delegitimate the status quo and legitimate the new order re-enacts the incoherence and instability of other legitimation devices.

Alvin Toffler’s writings encapsulated many of the tensions of futurism: the way that futurology and futures studies oscillated between forms of utopianism and technocracy with global ambitions, and between new forms of activism, on the one hand, and emerging forms of consultancy and paid advice on the other. Paradoxically, in their desire to create new images of the future capable of providing exits from the status quo of the Cold War world, futurists reinvented the technologies of prediction that they had initially rejected, and put them at the basis of a new activity of futures advice. Consultancy was central to the field of futures studies from its inception. For futurists, consultancy was a form of militancy—a potentially world altering expertise that could bypass politics and also escaped the boring halls of academia.

<span>The fast and continuous technological change that is characteristic of the information society we find ourselves in has demonstrable impact on the way librarians go about their business. This paper offers a scenario of technological changes already in the pipeline and yet to come, and how those changes will impact the role of librarians in the future. One of the main concerns of this paper is the continued relevance of information professionals as infomediaries in our future society.</span><div><span style="color: #303030; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>

The new CERN Single-Sign-On (SSO), built around an open source stack, has been in production for over a year and many CERN users are already familiar with its approach to authentication, either as a developer or as an end user. What is visible upon logging in, however, is only the tip of the iceberg. Behind the scenes there has been a significant amount of work taking place to migrate accounts management and to decouple Kerberos [1] authentication from legacy Microsoft components. Along the way the team has been engaging with the community through multiple fora, to make sure that a solution is provided that not only replaces functionality but also improves the user experience for all CERN members. This paper will summarise key evolutions and clarify what is to come in the future.

This chapter addresses the co-dependence of people's conceptions of end and of beginning. To comprehend the beginning, one must think of it from the perspective of futurity, from the perspective, that is, of the ultimate end. Consequently, the beginning lies not in the past but, rather, in the future. The chapter then relates this mode of philosophizing with the way people understand Jewish eschatology, which lies at the center of Jewish theorization about time. In Jewish eschatology, what is yet to come is understood as what has already happened, whereas what has happened is derived from what is yet to come. Martin Heidegger has dismissed Judaism as a religion that by its very nature cannot experience temporality authentically. Yet his own understanding of temporality accords well with rabbinic conceptions of temporality and later kabbalistic eschatologies.

Abstract: Very little research has been devoted to the way in which the textual genetics approaches the manuscripts in the text processing. However the future of the genetics depends, partly, on the interest which one can carry to this new materiality of the manuscript. The notion of text, the concept of what text is, have they been changed, or at least modified by the use of text processing? To write a text is to elaborate a discourse in the form of an utterance and to record it. The order of the discourse, in other words, the semiotic (the linguistic recognizable) / semantic (the meaning expressed (uttered) in the discourse) ratio should in no way be modified by the use of text processing. What changes, on the other hand, it is the materialization of the paper support of the text and consequently the status of this materialization.

This paper covers aircraft navigation with emphasis upon self-contained systems, although a survey of the scene cannot avoid reference to external aids. It traces briefly the evolution of self-contained systems since World War II to the present time and then attempts to forecast the way development appears likely to go in the future. The paper deals with both military and civil aviation because, in spite of the increasing importance of the latter, military navigation, as ever, leads the way to improvements for the future.

This chapter deals with the future of scholarly publications as a key element of the knowledge production process of science and research. Publications are both at the input and the output side of knowledge creation and an important means of communication among scientists. In the age of cyberscience, or e-science, the publishing system is changing rapidly and we expect more fundamental changes to come as soon as most scholarly publishing has gone online and researchers have started to explore the new opportunities. A new kind of infrastructure is emerging that will add new actors to the traditional ones and potentially adds new functions and mechanisms. The chapter outlines the status quo and new technological as well as organizational options for scholarly publishing and develops a scenario of the next generation academic publishing system. It concludes with practical recommendations for designing the scholarly e-publishing cyberinfrastructure of the future.

There are many ways of classifying dreams. This paper is concerned with only one, perhapsthe most fundamental: one which also – we are told – captures the most important difference between modern and ancient dream-interpretation. Ancient audiences were primed to expect dreams to be prophetic, to come from outside and give knowledge, however ambiguously, of the future, or at least of the otherwise unknowable present. This sort of dream is hard to distinguish from the ‘night-time vision’, and indeed it is sometimes hard with dreams in ancient literature to tell whether the recipient is asleep or not. For moderns, especially but not only Freudians, dreams come from within, and are interesting for what they tell us about the current psychology of the dreamer: for Freudians, the aspects of the repressed unconscious which fight to the surface; for most or all of us, the way in which dreams re-sort our daytime preoccupations, hopes, and fears. This distinction between ancient and modern was set out and elaborated a few years ago by Simon Price; it was also drawn by Freud himself. At the risk of oversimplification, we could say the first approach assimilates dreams to divination, the second to fantasy - with all the illumination that, as we increasingly realize, fantasy affords into the everyday world, as it juggles the normal patterns of waking reality at the same time as challenging them by their difference.

<p>As a strategy of the politic of culture, religious assimilation constructed in New Order has become a concept which is considered ineffective and failed. The policy of the religious assimilation designed for reducing conflicts between "Pribumi vs Tionghoa", in fact, has deepened the gaps between the two groups. Religious conversion by the Chinese in terms of assimilation of New Order turns to be a political strategy to describe and to have the pribumi identity. It is a political strategy to hide the aspects of Chinese and Non-muslim in their identity in order to be accepted as "Pribumi." Everyone can claim their own identity and say "who I am," who you are", and who we are". By doing so, it is part of the way for people to understand each identity that emphasize on the common identity. In the future, religious conversion will loose its the relevance, especially in the context of contestation of global culture. The contestation of culture in area of multiculturalism reunites the entity of diversity into single identity. Therefore, The celebrition of Chinese new year (Imlek) in mosques in Yogyakarta becomes a form of integration of identity between Tionghoa Islam and Java.</p><p> </p><p>Sebagai strategi politik budaya, asimilasi agama yang dibangun di masa Orde Baru telah menjadi konsep yang dianggap tidak efektif dan gagal. Kebijakan asimilasi keagamaan yang dirancang untuk mengurangi konflik antara "Pribumi vs Tionghoa", pada kenyataannya, telah memperdalam kesenjangan antara kedua kelompok tersebut. Pertobatan agama oleh orang Tionghoa dalam hal asimilasi Orde Baru berubah menjadi strategi politik untuk menggambarkan dan memiliki identitas pribumi. Ini adalah strategi politik untuk menyembunyikan aspek orang Tionghoa dan Non-Muslim dalam identitas mereka agar bisa diterima sebagai "Pribumi." Setiap orang dapat mengklaim identitas mereka sendiri dan berkata "siapa saya," siapa Anda ", dan siapa kita". Dengan demikian, ini adalah bagian dari cara bagi orang untuk memahami setiap identitas yang menekankan pada identitas umum. Ke depan, konversi agama akan kehilangan relevansinya, terutama dalam konteks kontestasi budaya global. Kontestasi budaya di bidang multikulturalisme mempertemukan entitas keanekaragaman menjadi identitas tunggal. Oleh karena itu, perayaan tahun baru Imlek di masjid-masjid di Yogyakarta menjadi bentuk integrasi identitas antara Tionghoa Islam dan Jawa.</p>
