This document discusses trust in government and measuring quality of government (QoG). It summarizes two rounds of European QoG surveys conducted in 2008 and 2012 that asked over 100,000 respondents about their personal experiences with education, healthcare, and police. The surveys found that while few people reported paying bribes, favoritism in public services was more commonly seen as corruption. Low QoG was also found to strongly negatively impact social trust, even after accounting for other factors. The document concludes by differentiating between trust in elected officials versus appointed ones, and lists actions that can strengthen QoG, such as universal education and impartial implementation of public policies.

United Kingdom GDPR Action Taken Against Canadian CompanyBarry Schuman
Recently, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”), a non-governmental public body which serves as the independent regulatory office concerning data protection, decided to take action in the form of an enforcement notice issued on July 6, 2018, against a non-European entity following a purported breach of the GDPR.
Data Protection and Academia: Fundamental Rights in ConflictDavid Erdos
This keynote talk to Norwegian National Conference on Research Ethics on 18 September 2018 explored the tension between European data protection norms and the nature of much of academic work, focusing on problems as regards the basic model of data management, the notion of critical inquiry and the need in some circumstances to resort to covert methods. It argued that the "historical and scientific research purposes" provisions in Article 89 of the GDPR largely fail to address these difficulties and stressed the centrality of the protections for "academic expression" including alongside journalism in Article 89 which is correctly predicated on reconciling data protection with the fundamental right to freedom of expression.
The government of Argentina’s Ministry of Justice have developed and are currently implementing the first Open Data portal for the justice sector in the country.
Launched in November, it currently holds 21 Ministry of Justice datasets. As Argentina is a federal country, the Ministry cooperates with more than 50 national and provincial justice institutions (courts, prosecutors and defense offices) to standardise judicial metrics and create quality datasets that will also be published on the Open Data portal.
During 2017, the Ministry will implement a strategy to strengthen the demand for data by hosting meetings with potential users, creating visualisations and training civil society in the use of open judicial data.
The Ministry also developed the first collaborative platform for judicial matters, Justice 2020, last year. This is an online platform, as well as an in-person collaborative space where civil society and the government can debate and participate in the design, implementation and evaluation of public justice policy. The program is organised in seven threads: institutional reform, criminal justice, civil justice, access to justice, human rights, judicial management and justice and community. Each one has different policy initiatives which after discussion will become priorities for the Ministry of Justice.
Participation is open to civil society and any person can be admitted to debate any topic. Each committee has two co-ordinators, one representing the government and one from civil society. During Justice 2020’s first year, there were 118 active debates, 18,358 people registered and 3,506 added contributions — an enormous success in view of the size of the country’s legal community.

European Data Protection and Social NetworkingDavid Erdos
These slides explore significant issues arising under data protection for both users and platforms as a result of the publication of third party personal data on such sites. Although the GDPR’s new wording of the household exemption could potentially exclude non-intrusive processing (e.g. sharing innocuous pictures taken in public), the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) is increasingly insistent that users acquire responsibilities when the publish such data to an indeterminate number. In principle, most EU Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) accept this although others including the UK and Irish have been very resistant. Many users could therefore have weighty data protection obligations here, although if contributing to a collective public debate they may be covered by the journalistic/special expression derogation and in any case there is a need for a balance with freedom of expression. CJEU ʻjoint controllerʼ case law also points to social networking sites have their own duties here, a proposition which has been backed by Working Party, the UK DPA and the UK courts. Whilst the e-Commerce ʻhostʼ shield should significantly limit ex ante responsibility here, this must be tempered by the ʻduty of careʼ which is inherent in being a ʻcontrollerʼ under data protection. In sum, data protection in principle remains central to the regulation of ʻonline harmsʼ here although ensuring effective and well-balanced regulation in practice remains a formidable challenge.

GDPR: A Threat or Opportunity? www.normanbroadbent.Steven Salter
With General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) a legal requirement for all UK companies from May 2018, there have been numerous articles written either demonstrating the confusion surrounding the new regulations, or detailing the downsides of the legislation.
Lobbying, understood as all actions performed by or on behalf of interest
groups directed at influencing of the process of policy formation and implementation,
occurs in every political regime. The article examines whether the illiberal type of
democracy that exists in Hungary (2010–2014) exerts an influence on the effectiveness of lobbying control.
Illiberal democracy differs from liberal democracy with regard to five systemic core
principles, such as the rule of law, government control and accountability, the integrity
of political elites, media freedom and civil rights and protection of minorities. This
article shows that all of these systemic criteria constituting illiberal democracy were
met in Hungary between 2010–2014. Examination of the case of Hungary with regard
to lobbying control suggests that illiberal democracy had diminished the effectiveness
of lobbying control in this country.

The Impacts of PopVote in Hong Kong - Virgile Deville (Democracy Earth) mysociety
This was presented by Virgile Deville from Democracy Earth at the Impacts of Civic Technology Conference (TICTeC@Taipei) in Taipei on 12th September 2017. You can find out more information about the conference here: http://civictechfest.org/agenda
Abstract:
Hong Kong’s 'small circle' election system means that only 1,200 people had a vote for the Chief Executive of the city, from a population of 3.77 million.
Prof. Benny Tai, leader of the Umbrella Movement, working with more than 20 civic communities in Hong Kong, led a campaign against this lack of inclusion, and commissioned the building of the PopVote application.
Seeing that the referendum provided an extraordinary opportunity for a large scale experiment, Democracy Earth were happy to collaborate to see how blockchain technologies such as Bitcoin or the IPFS network could best be leveraged to make the election process secure from cyber attacks.
Popvote aimed to collect a million citizens’ votes for the Chief Executive election, but it looked to future reuse, too. On a low budget, it was built as Open Source software that could also cater for future referendums. Crucially, based on previous experiences, it also had to be able to withstand cyber attacks.
Virgile shares the project’s outcomes, some encouraging; others disappointing. He also spells out how such collaborations are becoming more and more relevant to civil society, especially in a world of cyber attacks, data leaks and electoral fraud.

Current State of Personal Data Protection in Electronic Voting: Criteria and ...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The adoption of electronic voting has been done in various countries related to cost and time reduction operationally. On the other hand, recent publication has been informed several issues occurred such as technicality, reliability, security and privacy due to the compromised system were used. In small scale, there are certain group of people who want to exploit the vulnerabilities for their own benefit in the election, while in the greater scale, it can reduce public confidence to entrust the adoption of e-voting system to augment participation rate, to improve the quality of voting and to aid the political right effectively. This paper aims to investigate the characteristic of people demanding the legislative to address the criteria and indicator for effective implementation in electronic voting. By understanding the perception of voters in viewing current electoral regulation are essential to provide some ideas and opinions for better enhancement, either through recommendation and drafting related legislation to cater the needs.
The UK and EU Personal Data Regime After Brexit: Another Switzerland?David Erdos
These slides provide an overview of the personal data relationship between the UK and EU after Brexit. Under the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, the UK will have the closest connection with the EU here outside the European Economic Area and Switzerland. This is especially clear in the area of justice and security where there is very extensive provision for data exchange based on common standards. However, in the general area of data protection the framework only points to mutual adequacy. Even with the evolving formulation of this as “essential equivalence”, significant flexibility is retained and this may ultimately result in more substantive divergence than EU-Switzerland given the UK’s more distinct data protection approach. Common bona fide implementation of the Council of Europe’s Data Protection Convention 108+ may provide a good lodestar in the medium term and I very tentatively map out what this may could mean for default standards in the UK related to sensitive data and integrity and also specific substantive restrictions to ensure a more graduated approach and reconciliation with other competing rights.

Every day, all over the world, ordinary people bear the cost of corruption. In many countries, corruption affects people from birth until death. In Zimbabwe, women giving birth in a local hospital have been charged US$5 every time they scream as a penalty for raising false alarm.
1 In Bangladesh, the recent collapse of a multi-story factory, which killed more than 1,100 people due to a breach of basic safety standards, has been linked to allegations of corruption.
2 This report examines how corruption features in people’s lives around the world. Drawing on the results of a Transparency International survey of more than 114,000 respondents in 107 countries, it addresses people’s direct experiences with bribery and details their views on corruption in the main institutions in their countries. Significantly, Transparency International’s Global Corruption Barometer also provides insights into how willing and ready people are to act to stop corruption. The findings are clear: corruption is a very real burden, with more than one out of four respondents reporting having paid a bribe during the last year.3 When people are not in a position to afford a bribe, they might be prevented from buying a home, starting a business or accessing basic services. Corruption can, and often does, infringe on fundamental rights.
For those surviving on less than US$2 a day, and for women who are the primary caretakers of children around the globe, corruption and bribery are particularly devastating. For them, the additional cost of bribery can mean trade- offs are made between health and hunger, between school entrance fees and the shoes necessary to wear to school. Not only do people pay the costs of corruption directly, but their quality of life is also affected by less visible forms of corruption. When powerful groups buy influence over government decisions or when public funds are diverted into the coffers of the political elite, ordinary people suffer. When there is widespread belief that corruption prevails and the powerful in particular are able to get away with it, people lose faith in those entrusted with power.
As the Global Corruption Barometer 2013 shows, corruption is seen to be running through the foundations of the democratic and legal process in many countries, affecting public trust in political parties, the judiciary and the police, among other key institutions. Importantly, however, the people surveyed around the world as a part of the Global Corruption Barometer do not view themselves as powerless victims of corruption.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
