Straubhaar Live Stream Micro-Media Activism in the Occupy Movement Mediatized Co-presence, Autonomy, and the Ambivalent Face by Judith A. Thomas, BFA Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin May 2012 Dedication For my husband, inspiration and co-conspirator, Rob Donald. (Photo: The First Adbusters’ Poster for Occupy Wall Street, September 2011. Acknowledgements The work of Manuel Castells on autonomous networks and communication power has had a profound impact on this scholarship. The breadth of his vision and theoretical analysis is inspiring and insightful. I hope this work contributes to the continuing critical cultural discussion of the potential of citizen micro-media in all contexts but especially the international uprisings of 2010-2012. Most especially, my sincere thanks to the following University of Texas at Austin professors whose knowledge and curiosity inspired me most: Joe Straubhaar, Paul Resta, Shanti Kumar, Sandy Stone, and especially my generous, gifted and patient supervisor, Karin Gwinn Wilkins. I will miss the depth and breadth of debate we shared, and I look forward to following your challenging work in the future. v Abstract Live Stream Micro-Media Activism in the Occupy Movement Mediatized Co-presence, Autonomy, and the Ambivalent Face Judith A. -

Cox In collaboration with CENTRE FOR ENVIRONMENT, AGRICULTURE AND DEVELOPMENT Dr D. Kotze Prepared for National Grasslands Water Research Biodiversity Programme Commission EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background The National Spatial Biodiversity Assessment (NSBA) established that 30% of grasslands in South Africa are irreversibly transformed and only 2.8% are formally conserved. A Grassland Biodiversity Profile and Spatial Biodiversity Priority Assessment were undertaken for the biome which built on the outcomes of the NSBA. The assessment identified and integrated priority areas for terrestrial and river biodiversity, as well as ecosystem services for future conservation action in the grassland biome - the result being the identification of 15 priority clusters for conservation which represent 50% of the biome.

To: Denise Wilson, Director, Environmental Review Program – Minnesota Environmental Quality Board (EQB) From: Barr Engineering Co. Project Team Subject: Public Engagement Survey Results Date: May 3, 2021 Page: 1 Technical Memorandum To: Denise Wilson, Director, Environmental Review Program – Minnesota Environmental Quality Board (EQB) From: Barr Engineering Co. Project Team Subject: Public Engagement Survey Results Date: May 3, 2021 Project: Environmental Review Implementation Subcommittee (ERIS) Engagement (Project) 1.0 Introduction As directed by EQB’s 2020-2021 Workplan, and in response to Executive Order 19-37 on climate change, ERIS (a subcommittee of the Environmental Quality Board [EQB]) convened an Interagency Environmental Review Climate Technical Team to advise them on changes to the State Environmental Review Program requirements. Accordingly, the Environmental Review Climate Technical Team developed the DRAFT Recommendations: Integrating Climate Information into MEPA Program Requirements, dated December 2020, (DRAFT Recommendations). The DRAFT Recommendations specified an engagement framework to solicit input from various stakeholders, including the public. EQB contracted with Barr Engineering Co. (Barr) to assist with implementing the engagement process. The engagement consisted of: • Public comment period • Listening sessions • Public survey • Interviews This memorandum summarizes the feedback received through the public survey. A total of 496 survey responses were submitted. Section 2.0 of this memorandum describes the method used to create the survey and targeted outreach. Section 3.0 of this memorandum provides summaries of responses received to each question. 2.0 Survey Implementation Process and Targeted Engagement Barr used the SurveyMonkey platform for conducting the public engagement survey regarding the DRAFT recommendations. Barr and EQB’s technical team collaborated to develop the questions provided in the survey. -
A Re-Vision of Information Systems Neville Holmes Department Of
A Re-Vision of Information Systems Neville Holmes Department of Applied Computing & Mathematics University of Tasmania Launceston 7250 Australia Email: [email protected] (published in the Proceedings of the 1996 Australasian Conference on Information Systems) Abstract The theme of the Conference, “Revisioning Information Systems”, is examined. A two decades old vision of information systems is reviewed here by its author to establish the groundwork for a re-vision. The original vision, and its prediction, is evaluated, and used as the basis for a re-vision and a new prediction. Some implications of the new prediction, and some impressions gained while arriving at it, are reviewed. THE CONFERENCE THEME The theme of this the 7th Australian Conference on Information Systems is Revisioning Infor- mation Systems. It must be assumed such curious wording was chosen deliberately to provoke, and it is indeed provocative at several levels. Even the use of the phrase information systems is provocative to anyone who is concerned that agreed and legal standards should be upheld. Ian Gould (1972) in reviewing the work that led to the International Standard Vocabulary (ISO 1991) wrote that “ it is difficult, if not impossible, to find a concept that could reasonably be called ‘information processing’; our machines can surely only process data.” So the very popular view that equates an information system with a computer system is, at the very least, non-standard. Although in one sense this battle for correct terminology is unwinnable, (like the battle to pre- serve impact from synonymy with effect), in another sense it must be kept up at least to influence how people see information systems. -
