Mit einer globalen Perspektive und einer Zukunftsvision ist es umso aussichtsreicher, je fruher wir im Marathon der Digitalisierung die Gesetzgebung zu den digitalen Rechten vorantreiben und den Ton fur die Regulierung der Werte von Daten angeben, umso eher werden wir die Gelegenheit haben, durch schrittweise Schaffung der Werte von Daten die Fuhrung zu ubernehmen und in der Folge das Heft in der Hand haben. Wenn Chinas Gesetze in Zukunft weltweit exportiert werden sollen, wird es sich hoechstwahrscheinlich um Gesetze fur die digitale Wirtschaft handeln. Wenn Chinas digitale Wirtschaft eine Fuhrungsrolle in der Welt anstreben soll, mussen vor allem qualitativ hochwertigere, gerechtere und nachhaltigere institutionelle Garantien fur die Datenrechte der verschiedenen Subjekte geschaffen und vollstandige und prazise rechtliche Regelungen fur den digitalen Sektor festgelegt werden.

Nous devrions promouvoir le droit des donnees avec une perspective mondiale orientee vers le futur. Plus tot nous _ xons les valeurs et les normes pour les donnees, plus nous aurons de chance de prendre des avantages et de diriger le processus d'etablissement des valeurs. A l'avenir, le droit en matiere d'economie numerique est le droit chinois qui a le plus de possibilites d'aller a l'international. Dans le meme temps, pour que l'economie numerique chinoise dirige le monde, nous devons respecter les limites, o_ rir des garanties institutionnelles de meilleure qualite, plus equitables et plus durables pour les droits et les interets des donnees des di_ erents sujets, et fournir des regles juridiques completes et precises pour le domaine numerique.

Since its emergence, big data has brought us new forms of energy, technology and means of organization which will generate greater values by crossover, integration, openness and sharing of data. Nevertheless, risks caused by open access and the flow of data also bring us enormous challenges to privacy, business secrets and social and national securities. This raises people's awareness on data sharing, privacy protection and social justice, and becomes a significant governance problem in the world. In order to solve these problems, Data Rights Law 1.0 is innovative in that it proposes a new concept of the "data person". It defines "data rights" as the rights derived from the "data person" and "data rights system" as the order based on "data rights". "Data rights law" is the legal normative formed out of the "data rights system". In this way, the book constructs a legal framework of "data rights-data rights system-data rights law". If data is considered as basic rights, on which new order and laws are to be built, it will bring brand new and profound meaning to future human life.

We are witnessing a worldwide resurgence of reactionary nationalist, religious, racist, and antifeminist ideologies and movements, as well as a rapid process of global de-democratization. Nevertheless, most studies remain tied to a methodological nationalism, while comparative research is almost exclusively limited to European countries and the USA. But authoritarian transformations in the Global South and the struggles against them have not only been at least as dramatic as in the North, they also often date back longer - and have been studied and theorized by Southern scholars for many years. Twenty scholar-activists from the Global South show in their in-depth studies how national processes of authoritarian capitalism have undermined political systems on a global scale.

This perspective of this book views Earth's various layers as a whole system, and tries to understand how to achieve harmony and sustainable development between human society and nature, with the theme of " habitability of the Earth." This book is one effort at providing an overview of some of the recent exciting advances Chinese geoscientists have made. It is the concerted team effort of a group of researchers from diverse backgrounds to generalize their vision for Earth science in the next 10 years. The book is intended for scholars, administrators of the Science and Technology policy department, and science research funding agencies. This is an open access book.

Le droit des donnees, pierre angulaire de la transition d'une societe industrielle a une societe numerique, joue un role particulierement important pour promouvoir la gouvernance mondiale de l'Internet et batir une communaute de destin dans le cyberespace. Dans la continuite de l'ouvrage Loi sur les droits numeriques 1.0: Fondements theoriques, le Droit des donnees 2.0: Construction du systeme de droits propose de maniere innovante le postulat de l'homo numericus, qui elargit le champ de recherche juridique et enrichit la notion de l'homme dans une perspective juridique. L'ouvrage offre une analyse de trois principaux types de droits en matiere de donnees: droits sur les donnees, droit de partage et souverainete des donnees. Il repond aux instructions du president chinois Xi Jinping presentees dans sa lettre de felicitation au " Big Data Expo 2019 ", dans laquelle il a souligne que " nous devrions saisir les opportunites du developpement numerique, connecte et intelligent, bien gerer les defis juridiques, de securite et de gouvernance lies au developpement des megadonnees ".

As of 2021, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have reached historically unprecedented levels, higher than at any time in the past 800,000 years. Worldwide efforts to reduce emissions by creating a more efficient, carbon-free energy system may not be enough to stabilize the climate and avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies, which remove and sequester carbon from the atmosphere, likely will be needed to meet global climate goals. The ocean, covering 70% of the Earth's surface, includes much of the global capacity for natural carbon sequestration; the ocean also holds great potential for uptake and longerterm sequestration of human-produced CO2. This report builds on previous work from the National Academies to assess what is currently known about the benefits, risks, and potential for responsible scale-up of six specific ocean-based CDR strategies as identified by the sponsor, ClimateWorks Foundation. It describes the research needed to advance understanding of those approaches and address knowledge gaps. The resulting research agenda is meant to provide an improved and unbiased knowledge base for the public, stakeholders, and policymakers to make informed decisions on the next steps for ocean CDR, as part of a larger climate mitigation strategy; it is not meant to lock in or advocate for any particular approach.

The Internet has changed the way we access the world. This is especially true for kids, who soak up new technologies like eager little sponges. They have access to an enormous array of material, including educational links, sports info, chat rooms?and, unfortunately, pornography. But we must approach our need to protect children with care to avoid placing unnecessary restrictions on the many positive features of the Internet. Youth, Pornography, and the Internet examines approaches to protecting children and teens from Internet pornography, threats from sexual predators operating on-line, and other inappropriate material on the Internet. The National Research Council's Computer Science and Telecommunications Board explores a number of fundamental questions: Who defines what is inappropriate material? Do we control Internet access by a 17-year-old in the same manner as for a 7-year-old? What is the role of technology and policy in solving such a problem in the context of family, community, and society? The book discusses social and educational strategies, technological tools, and policy options for how to teach children to make safe and appropriate decisions about what they see and experience on the Internet. It includes lessons learned from case studies of community efforts to intervene in kids' exposure to Internet porn. Providing a foundation for informed debate, this very timely and relevant book will be a must-read for a variety of audiences. Table of Contents Front Matter Executive Summary 1. Introduction 2.

Despite having the costliest medical care delivery system in the world, Americans are not particularly healthy. Recent international comparisons show that life expectancy in the U.S. ranks 49th among all nations, and infant mortality rates are higher in the U.S. than in many far less affluent nations. While these statistics are alarming, the bigger problem is that we do not know how to reverse this trend. Our lack of knowledge is due in large part to significant inadequacies in the health system for gathering, analyzing, and communicating health information about the population. To inform the public health community and all other sectors that contribute to population health, For the Public's Health: The Role of Measurement in Action and Accountability reviews current approaches for measuring the health of individuals and communities and creates a roadmap for future development. This book, the first of three in a series, focuses on data and measurement-not as ends in themselves, but rather tools to inform the myriad programs, policies, and processes developed or undertaken by governmental public health agencies and their many partners in the health system. For the Public's Health seeks to reinstate the proper and evidence-based understanding of health as not merely the result of medical or clinical care but the result of the sum of what we do as a society to create the conditions in which people can be healthy. To achieve this goal, the book suggests changes in the processes, tools, and approaches used to gather information about health outcomes and their determinants. The book also recommends developing an integrated and coordinated system in which all parties-including governmental and private sector partners at all levels-have access to timely and meaningful data to help foster individual and community awareness and action.
