Neither “Platformization” Nor “Infrastructuralization”: Government as a Platform in China by Jingyan Elaine Yuan, Yuchao Zhao

“…Through a case study of “the digital reform” in Zhejiang Province, and the affiliated smart city project—City Brain—in Hangzhou, the municipal capital, this study draws on data from participatory observations and interviews to (1) provide a historical context, in which “platformization” in urban governance is aimed to serve market-oriented socio-economic reforms; (2) argue that such “platformization” is shaped by the long-standing structural tension between centralization and localism, which has been renewed by digital data flows; and (3) understand the shifting public–private demarcation in social interactions and arrangements to deflect continual frictions between the state, local agents, and platforms in the domain of digital governance.…”

Research on agricultural IoT pest and disease image recognition algorithm based on STM32 by Botao XU, Xiang CHEN

“…In modern agriculture IoT systems, edge computing is an indispensable component.In this context, it is feasible to deploy lightweight pest and disease image recognition tasks on edge devices.However, due to the constraints of device computation and storage capabilities, this task faces significant challenges.To address these challenges, an economically practical method was proposed for pest and disease image recognition on STM32 edge devices.Specifically, the MobileNetv2 structure was improved to better suit the characteristics of STM32, quantization-aware training technique was used to compresses the network, model portability was enhanced.Meanwhile, the X-CUBE-AI was used to arrange the model and evaluate the performance.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model not only ensures image classification accuracy but also reduces the Flash and RAM resource consumption on STM32 compared to other lightweight networks.…”

Contraindre sans contraindre : du « client idéal » de l’école maternelle aux difficultés professionnelles enseignantes by Fabienne Montmasson-Michel

“…The case of oral activities shows how the ideal of a child who behaves well by himself leads to under efficient and differentiating pedagogical devices while generating concrete difficulties of implementation and uncomfortable arrangements. The case of alphabetical learning shows how the ideal of a child who learns by himself produces pedagogical norms that maintain school difficulties while preventing from the reflexion and the experimentation of democratic practices that could solve some teaching difficulties. …”

Analysis of Cooperative Defense System of Water Conservancy Network Security Based on Software Defined Security by XIAO Yaoxuan, MU Duo, QIN Zening, GUO Dongbao

“…In view of the increasingly concealed,complicated,and intelligent network attacks,this paper analyzes the security protection status and network security problems faced by the water conservancy network.A cooperative defense system of water conservancy network security is proposed,and a cooperative defense control system of network security is designed according to the system.On the basis of software defined security architecture,the control layer and security layer of traditional hardware or virtualized security devices are separated.The security resource pool provides security protection,and the security control platform is responsible for management and command delivery.Furthermore,security services can be arranged according to different protection requirements to construct multiple security protection mechanisms,so as to provide technical support for realizing the cooperative defense capability of water conservancy network security featuring internal and external cooperation and linkage between the upper and lower levels.…”

Robust Scheduling Method of TT＆C Resource in Satellite Network by Xiang JI, Runzi LIU, Chenhong YAO, Jianhao CHEN, Tao MU

“…The continuous growth of satellite network scale brings great challenges to the eff ective scheduling of TT＆amp;C resources.Aff ected by weather and other factors, the performance of the satellite-ground link is of high uncertainty.In order to took into both resource utilization and task reliability, a robust scheduling method of TT＆amp;C resources was proposed.This method could arranged the start time and duration of the transmission window for TT＆amp;C tasks by the predicted the channel state distribution of satelliteground link and the task distribution in the planning period, and optimized the resource allocation scheme by backward iteration to maximized the expected profit of the tasks.The experimental results showed that compared with the traditional non-robust scheduling method, the scheduling method proposed could obtain more task profi t under diff erent channel distributions and achieve the improvement of both resource utilization and task reliability.…”
