A Topological Space for Design, Participation and Production. Tracking Spaces of Transformation
The Journal of Peer Production New perspectives on the implications of peer production for social change Journal of Peer Production Issue 13: OPEN http://peerproduction.net — ISSN 2213-5316 A TOPOLOGICAL SPACE FOR DESIGN, PARTICIPATION AND PRODUCTION. TRACKING SPACES OF TRANSFORMATION Sandra Álvaro Sánchez ‘Space of transformation’ is a concept borrowed from Serres’ communication theory and here redefined after the evolution of the post-digital milieu and the materialistic critique of the same. Hackerspaces, fablabs, medialabs and other shared machines shops are defined here as spaces of transformation, places for the encounter between humans and non-humans, where disciplines are bridged together, hitherto severed, giving place to collective practices related to education, production and society. Shared machine shops are sited locally but also connected globally. Online, they share innovative forms of production, education and collective organization, giving place to a complex ecosystem. This article presents an analysis of the topology of this ecosystem conducted by means of tracking and visualizing the online interactions between the hackerspaces listed at the platform Hackerspaces.org. The application of network analysis is aimed to answer the research questions: First, how shared machine shops are locally and globally connected? Second, what links hackerspaces among them and these with new social issues? The concept of shared machine shops as spaces of transformation and the study of their mutual relations allows for an understanding of the transformative capacity of these spaces and how they are producing a new space for social innovation through its mutual interchange of information. Keywords: hackerspaces, network analysis, design, social innovation, space of transformation development of new organizational forms related to By Sandra Álvaro Sánchez peer-production, and the prototyping of new material products, linked to entrepreneurship and Download as PDF innovation, as well as, of new educational projects. -

Близько 25% осіб з вищою освітою отримують доходи, що вдвічі вищі середніх. Фінансові вигоди від інвестицій у вищу освіту для кожної особи протягом її життя є досить суттєвими, найнижчими вони є в Кореї, та становлять 83 200 дол. США або 6,2%. Найвищими фінансові вигоди від інвестицій у вищу освіту в Угорщині 315 600 дол. США або 25,4% та Польщі – 338 200 дол. США або 29,2%. Середній показник чистого фінансового доходу від інвестицій у вищу освіту в країнах ОЕСР становить 229 000 дол. США або 14,0%, серед країн ЄС даний показник дещо відрізняється і складає 222 000 дол. США або 15,5%. Така фінансова віддача від інвестицій у власну освіту заслуговує на увагу, і як показують результати, здобуття вищої освіти досить швидко окуповується. Населення з більш високим рівнем освіти також характеризується кращим рівнем здоров’я та більш схильне вести здоровіший спосіб життя, що відображається у зниженні показників смертності. Також окремі дослідження вказують на більш низький рівень злочинності серед освіченого населення. Переваги більш освіченого населення залишаються не тільки на сучасному етапі для самих працівників, а й майбутнім поколінням і суспільству в цілому. Отже, існує тісний зв’язок між рівнем освіти окремого індивіда, всього населення та розвитком економіки країни в цілому. Використана література 1. Константюк Н.І.

Geneology of Hacklabs and Hackerspaces
Geneology of Hacklabs and Hackerspaces Abstract Hackerspaces are workshops organised with an open community model where people with technological interests where can come together to socialise, collaborate, share and expand their knowledge. The last few years have seen an increased activity in this area including the founding of many new locations, increasing collaboration and discussions about the potentialities and the directions of hackerspaces. However, similar spaces called hacklabs have existed since personal computers became widespread, based on an underground political agenda. These new and old school places are often seen retrospectively as part of a single trajectory, and most of the discourse treats the two words as equivalent. Changing this homogeneous perspective through outlining the overlapping but distinguishable geneologies of hacklabs and hackerspaces can contribute to the contemporary debates around this vibrant hacker culture and movement. Introduction Hacklabs manifest some of the same traits as hackerspaces, and indeed many real communities registered on hackerspaces.org identify as hacklabs as well. However, despite the fact that these spaces share a lot of cultural DNA, some of their ideological and historical roots are indeed different. Historically, hacklabs started in the late 80s and became widespread in the 90s, while hackerspaces started in the late 90s and became widespread in the naughties. Obviously, these overlapping developments involved a lot of cultural and personal transfer. Ideologically, most hacklabs have been explicitly politicised as part of the broader anarchist/autonomist scene, while hackerspaces, developing in the libertarian sphere of influence around the Chaos Computer Club, are not necessarily defining themselves as overly political. One more concrete example of these historical-ideological differences is the economics of space: while hacklabs are mostly located in squatted territories, hackerspaces are generally rented. -

History of Crystallography in the Region of Former Czechoslovakia
History of Crystallography in the Region of Former Czechoslovakia Crystallographic milestones, leading figures and groups Crystallography has long and rich tradition in the region of former Czechoslovakia. It was cultivated in the framework of two principal Czech scientific organizations, Charles University (founded in 1348), and Academy of Sciences (formerly Academy of Sciences and Arts, founded in 1770). Johannes Kepler, known as a famous astronomer, during his stay in Prague (1600-1612) wrote a paper “On hexagonal snow flake” as a New Year present to his friend and famous diplomat Jan Matouš Wacker von Wackenfels. This paper is the oldest written document of new era crystallography and deals with the outer symmetry seen in morphology of crystals as a reflection of inner symmetry of matter, without any idea about the nature of building elements at that time. Searching an origin of hexagonal symmetry of snow Kepler though about the closest packing of equal sized solid spheres. He also discussed even more general space orderings and introduced the term coordination number as a number of neighbour spheres, which are in contact with the central one. The trial to explain the shape of snow flakes from building of water particles symmetrically arranged in space can be regarded as an origin of theory of crystal lattice. He also mentioned the constant ratio of angles among equivalent faces and edges of crystals. In 2014, the work was issued by Charles University in Latin-Czech bilingual form (translated from Latin) and by Oxford University press in Latin-English form. The first independent experiments Old Czech family of German chemist Friedrich August Kekule, with X-rays were performed in later Kekulé von Stradonitz (1829-1896), came from a village Prague by Ivan Puluj (Pulyui, 1845- located near Slaný in Bohemia. -

Founding a Hackerspace
Founding a Hackerspace An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to: Project Advisor: Francis Hoy Faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment for the requirement for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted by Joseph Schlesinger Md Monirul Islam Kelly MacNeill Date: Professor Frank Hoy Project Advisor Abstract This report is the written component of our project that explores the hackerspace phenomenon. The report discusses the background and history of hackerspaces along with the social context of the modern hackerspace. Interviews of various hackerspaces were conducted and analyzed in order to gain insight into their operation and management. The research conducted was used to establish a hackerspace as a for-profit business. We describe the process of launching this entity, MakeIt Labs LLC in Lowell, MA. Also included is the business plan created for MakeIt Labs. Acknowledgements We would like to show our gratitude to the many individuals and organizations that helped us with our project by supplying us with data about the hackerspace community. These individuals allowed us know first-hand what it was like to be part of the maker community. Specifically, we would like to thank the founders and members of the following hackerspaces for giving their valuable time and valuable information: Hacker Dojo, NYC Resistor, Sprout & Co, BUILDS, and Noisebridge. Our appreciation goes to all the people who have put information about hackerspaces online. Finally, we would like to thank our project advisor, Frank Hoy, for his assistance and guidance throughout the project experience.

Modernity, Capitalism and Liberalism in Hacker Culture
This is r0ket science! Modernity, Capitalism and Liberalism in Hacker Culture By Dunajcsik Péter maxigas Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisors: Jean-Louis Fabiani Jakob Rigi Budapest, Hungary 2012 CEU eTD Collection This is r0ket science! Modernity, Capitalism and Liberalism in Hacker Culture 2011 August, Finowfurt airport, Germany. Around 5000 hackers gather for a week in tents and hangars to celebrate knowledge, sharing and creativity. The conference is called Chaos Communication Camp, and all participants receive a conference badge called the r0ket. It displays your name on an LCD panel, but it does much more than that: it is a primitive computer and wireless device designed to trigger all the cultural allergies of hackers. You can play the famous retro game Space Invaders on it, and the high scores of the game are shared amongst the crowd. Two hours after takeoff the high score system is already hacked: somebody leads the top of the list with -27500 points. Before the end of the conference, the badge is used as a component in a Do It Yourself Geiger counter, as a remote control for drones, as an electronic torch, and a dozen other amazing purposes. It has no price and it cannot be bought, but anybody can build one from basic components following the online documentation. It is a typical result of the work that goes on in more than 500 hackerspaces around the world. CEU eTD Collection A serious attempt to dissect the relevance of the hacker movement should first and foremost start by looking at practice. -
