Big Data and High-Performance Analyses and Processes

The period of vast information and examination has arrived and is changing the world significantly. The field of information frameworks ought to be at the bleeding edge of comprehension and deciphering the effect of the two innovations and administration to lead the endeavors of business to inquire about in the information period. In this chapter, the author investigates administrative issues of business change coming about because of the original appropriation and inventive uses of information sciences in business. The author ends by giving an analysis of big data that covers all the analytical processes and future research headings.

Creating Conspiracy Beliefs

Conspiracy theories spread more widely and faster than ever before. Fear and uncertainty prompt people to believe false narratives of danger and hidden plots, but are not sufficient without considering the role and ideological bias of the media. This timely book focuses on making sense of how and why some people respond to their fear of a threat by creating or believing conspiracy stories. It integrates insights from psychology, political science, communication, and information sciences to provide a complete overview and theory of how conspiracy beliefs manifest. Through this multi-disciplinary perspective, rigoros research develops and tests a practical, simple way to frame and understand conspiracy theories. The book supplies unprecedented amounts of new data from six empirical studies and unpicks the complexity of the process that leads to the empowerment of conspiracy beliefs.

Manipulation in Politics

Manipulation is a means by which a person is gotten to do something that the person was not initially inclined to do. As such, it is a form of power. Distinguishing it from other forms of power, such as persuasion, coercion, and physical force, is both important and difficult. It is important because it often matters which form of power a political actor uses, and manipulation is commonly thought to be a form of power whose exercise is undesirable. It is difficult because the line between manipulation and persuasion is often obscure, and because the term manipulation can be applied to tactics that influence the target’s state of mind, and tactics that change the target’s situation. Political theorists and philosophers have offered several accounts of manipulation: Some see it as deceptive influence, some see it as covert influence, some see it as influence with covert intent, some see it as offering bad reasons, and some see it as changing the external situation. While each of these approaches gets some things right about manipulation, each faces important challenges as well. One reason why manipulation seems undesirable is that it appears to undermine autonomy. This fact helps explain why concerns about manipulation arise in discussions of “nudges” that are meant to improve people’s decision making without coercion. Even if nudges benefit their targets, they may be undesirable on balance if they involve autonomy-undermining manipulation. Manipulation is a useful tool for autocrats, but it poses serious problems for democracies. This is because it appears to undermine the consent on which democratic legitimacy depends. Some political theorists argue that the problems posed by manipulation can be best addressed through deliberative democracy. Others dispute this suggestion. At the level of practice, there is reason to worry that late-20th- and 21st-century developments in psychology and the social and information sciences, as well as changes to the media landscape, threaten to make manipulation more prevalent and effective.

Gráficos de controle fuzzy: a evolução e as tendências para pesquisas futuras nos últimos dez anos por meio de uma análise bibliométrica

Os gráficos de controle fuzzy podem ser amplamente utilizados, apesar de serem uma ferramenta da qualidade relativamente nova. Este artigo relata uma análise e interpretação bibliométrica de dados de artigos relativos a gráficos de controle fuzzy de 2007 a 2017. A contribuição científica deste artigo é demonstrar indicadores bibliométricos e apresentar sugestões para futuras pesquisas. Com isso, incentiva-se as direções existentes neste campo de pesquisa e explora-se novos horizontes. Os resultados revelaram que Cengiz Kahraman é o autor mais citado no que se refere a gráficos de controle fuzzy e Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, é a instituição mais citada, colocando a Turquia como o país que mais se destaca em tal área de pesquisa. O artigo mais citado é “An alternative approach to fuzzy control charts: Direct fuzzy approach”, de Gulbay e Kahraman, publicado no periódico mais citado, Information Sciences. A principal tendência para pesquisas futuras observada foi a aplicação de conjuntos fuzzy type-2 nos gráficos de controle.

CURRENT ISSUES OF TECHNOLOGICAL AND ORGANIZATION-ECONOMIC TOOLS OF NATURE MANAGEMENT, ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Significant technological advances are being made across a range of fields, including technological and organization-economic tools, particularly in terms of nature management, environmental assessment and entrepreneurship to name but a few. The Green entrepreneurship as alternative vision for growth and development. These breakthroughs are expected to be highly disruptive and bring about major transformative shifts in how societies function. These advances promise significant social and economic benefits, increased efficiency, and enhanced productivity across a host of sectors. These innovations including technological and organization-economic tools are centered on the gathering, processing, and analyzing of enormous reams of data emerging from the information sciences with implications for countless areas of research and development.
