Artificial intelligence is profoundly changing human social life, and the integration between artificial intelligence and law continues to deepen. Artificial intelligence has brought new impetus for legal education from three dimensions: providing new technologies, establishing new models, and shaping new paradigms. At present, it is still at the exploratory stage on how to position the goal of cultivating versatile professionals of “artificial intelligence + law,” how to improve the competence of teachers, and how to integrate the curriculum system. As one of the important contents of the paradigm transformation of “New Liberal Arts” education, legal education must also upgrade the concept of cultivating professionals, make full use of the support of big data, artificial intelligence, and other new technologies, clarify the goal of cultivating versatile professionals who “have the ability of legal thinking can use artificial intelligence technology,” bolster the ranks of teachers who not only “understand the technology” but also can “foster a new generation of people with sound values and ethics,” and construct the interdisciplinary, integrated AILE theoretical and practical curriculum systems, for the purpose of responding to the development trend of the transformation of liberal arts education in the new era, and providing intellectual support for cultivating professionals to meet the development needs of the country in the new era.

As a measure for higher engineering education in the new era to deal with a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial reform, China’s new engineering construction is an important strategic deployment to cultivate diversified and innovative engineering talents. In order to promote the new engineering construction in an all-rounded way, talent training is the key. Compared with traditional engineering talents, new engineering talents need to have richer values and normative knowledge, especially public policy qualities, which is the ability that new engineering talents should have in this complex and changeable environment. The EPP (Engineering and Public Policy) professional training model at Carnegie Mellon University provides useful practical experience for the cultivation of public policy qualities of new engineering talents.

In any industry having automation work have many devices which are interconnected through wires and making all of them work together and handling their features collectively is the work of PLC (Programmable logic Controller). They are most forwardly used as they are simplest forms of control structures that are now taking over the hard-wired Relays. PLCs which are computer-based controllers are the exceptional for handling systems, which requires excessive care and accuracy like small and medium scale industries for input and Output processes. Leaning a little in the direction the utilization of Automation in Industries will only give a beneficiary performance, flexibility, accuracy, least or null engagement of human interference. And for controlling and tracking of the large scale industries where PLCs are not enough, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems) are used as they are more efficient, and can be handled without difficulty from the main control room/office which is remotely located at other place or at far area. One of critical function of PLC is that its input and output elements can be prolonged according to the requirement or motive. They are very easy to operate for those who are having even a basic Information.

Charles Townes’s original laser proposal envisioned a low-power coherent light source for communications. Theodore Maiman’s demonstration of the first laser at Hughes Research Laboratories in 1960 produced bright pulses of red light and gave great hopes for bigger and better things, especially in the Pentagon. Two years later, a Sunday newspaper supplement feature titled “The Incredible Laser: Death Ray or Hope” illustrated with science-fictional laser cannons, opined: The laser may have greater impact than any discovery so far in the burgeoning field of electronics, which has already brought us radar, transistors, satellite tracking networks, [and] TV. The technological revolution it brings about may dwarf any in the past [1] .

A fundamentally new direction in theory and practice of quantum nonlinear phenomena in a non-ideal and very close to degenerate plasma has been developed. For the first time, the existence of a new state of matter-imperfect plasma-quantum plasma condensate combining the properties of ordinary liquid and ionized plasma has been theoretically predicted and confirmed. The analysis of modern nanoenergetics has been conducted, special attention has been paid to its ecological state, the quantum non-ideality of a non-degenerate plasma and the exchange interaction of electrons in it, which leads to the efficient energy release in the plasma process being studied, have been investigated. The discovery of this kind of phase state of a non-ideal non-degenerate plasma and its use in engineering and technology allows creating a fundamentally new effective, renewable, cheap, and stable nanoenergetics on a global basis. This energy source is the only environmentally friendly source that does not destroy and pollute our planet, while its use purifies our ecosphere. Based on the authors pioneering discoveries in the qualitative research of nonlinear quantum phenomena in a non-ideal and close to non-degenerate plasma and the proposal of a fundamentally new, effective, and harmless energy source, the use of which purifies all spheres of the planet Earth, and also his proposals of fundamentally new devices - Universal Modules of Industrial Disintegrators/Activators- the possibility of implementing ambitious, efficient, and self- sustaining state projects based on the developed nanotechnologies is considered. During the research of nonlinear quantum phenomena in non-ideal and close to degenerate one, the author has developed and offered solutions to the triumvirate of problems that allow: create a modern, efficient, safe, harmless, and renewable nanoenergetics that meets the actual challenges; reduce the threat of the coronavirus pandemic; mitigate the effects of crises and deal with the global economic collapse. The work shows that the use of currently existing energy imposes a health hazard, reduces peoples immunity, and (naturally) resistance to the coronavirus. Measures are proposed to minimize the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic on Earth. Information on the proposed technical projects and Universal Modules of Industrial Disintegrators/Dispersants, which allows to introduce the new developed nanotechnologies of the new perfect and cheap materials and products and create millions of jobs, is provided. &nbsp

Recently, we have become more conscious about the impact of the industrial and technological revolution on the environment and human health which is basically due to the use of fossil fuel. In the development of energy sources in Egypt for the 21st century, it is necessary to replace by solar energy as one of the most promising and available renewable energy sources. Egypt is considered one of the solar belt countries with high intensity of direct solar radiation from north to south which provides a variety of solar energy applications. In Egypt existing building sector is responsible for use of large amount of energy for lighting, heating and cooling. As the amount of existing buildings is much higher than the number of buildings being built, while many of these existing buildings need improvements. This provides an opportunity to use photovoltaics (PVs) integration technologies to reduce primary energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions. At the moment, PVs technologies are available in relatively competitive prices; solar radiation is converted into electricity providing a cleaner, environmentally friendly alternative to reduce the environmental impact of buildings. The main reason for these technologies to stay unpopular is the lack of good architectural quality that meets the desired design considerations. The main aim of this paper is to pave possible ways for architects and engineers to use the building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems with innovative approaches which can serve the dual function of emphasis on the architectural expression and power generation. Introduce a model of architectural forming and economic analysis of BIPV system for an existing campus building in Egypt (the Architectural Department in the Faculty of Engineering in Mansoura University). This will encourage the responsible authorities and operators of existing buildings in Egypt to implement sustainable practices and reduce the environmental impacts of buildings over their functional life cycles.

In view of the recent development in the field of arts in all its fields due to technology and its impact on the culture of society, and the remarkable development, especially on the design thought of the elements of interior architecture complementary to interior design, to keep pace with the rhythm of the technology of the age of endless aspirations for the shape and style of design that has become different and transformed from everything He is familiar and stereotyped. Weaving is considered one of the most important materials used in the arts in general and especially in interior design, and smart weaving has been applied and the use of nanotechnology with it in several areas of interior design, such as cladding pieces of furniture for seats, sofas, curtains, textile hangings, whether lighting units, hanging dividers, carpets, and other uses for the interior design field. . Weaving is one of the most important design complements in interior architecture. The visual impact of design complements is related to the material that makes up the visual surface. Also, smart materials can be used in different ways as energy transformers or as mechanical actuators, in addition to the basic function for which they are designed. The change and transformation that occurs in the material to become a smart or sustainable material to keep pace with the continuous technological development as a result of what brought about the technological revolution and the digital revolution in the field of interior design. The interior is an interactive space or the environment is interactive that needs to use smart materials that serve the requirements of a person in his living environment. It is the most important example. For smart weaving applications, nanotechnology weaving, wood folding fabric, polyester episiotomy fabric, magnetic origami curtains, composite memory fabric, digital blinds, textiles incorporated with phosphorous walls, all of them are composite materials and interactive products that interact with the surrounding environment to provide a better internal space for humans. The smart weaving realizes the idea of a complete transformation in the interior design as a whole within the design elements because it is a basic complement to the design process within the design environment.

Changing the priorities of economic development in transition to post-industrial society inevitably causes reviewing approaches to the role of innovation in modern economy. If in the era of industrial development of society innovations are considered mainly as a factor of technological development, in case of a post-industrial society innovations should be considered in a broader perspective. Innovative technologies in all their diversity are being introduced not only in the technological sphere, but also in education, in the service industry, housing and communal services, life support sphere, etc. The problem of shifting regions and separate territories to innovative development approaches is one of the key issues in forming an economy based on knowledge. “Nuclear” cities, where development of nuclear technologies is implemented both for defense and civilian purposes (nuclear power plants, nuclear fuel production, etc.), can be ideally used as territories of advanced social and economic development (TASED) primarily thanks to human potential of these cities. The article analyzes recent humanitarian and technological changes, called the “humanitarian technological revolution” (HTR), and their impact on the speed and effectiveness of innovative changes in this area.

A technology revolution in Earth observation sensor design is occurring. This revolution in part is associated with the emergence of CubeSat platforms that have forced a de facto standardization on the volume and power into which sensors have to fit. The extent that small sensors can indeed provide similar or replacement capabilities compared to larger and more expensive counterparts has barely been demonstrated and any loss of capability of smaller systems weighed against the gains in costs and new potential capabilities offered by implementing them with a more distributed observing strategy also has not yet been embraced. This paper provides four examples of observations made with prototype miniaturized observing systems, including from CubeSats, that offer a glimpse of this emerging sensor revolution and a hint at future observing system design.

Nanotechnologies constitute one of the most innovative processes of production, and their products already reach all economic sectors. In view of their potential to boost economic development and competitiveness, governments have declared them areas of priority or strategic interest. In the framework of studies that deal with the evaluation of benefits, impacts, and harmful effects of new technologies, this article analyses the potential barriers to an inclusive development of nanotechnologies to improve the living conditions of broad sectors of the population. It is concluded that the discussion on disruptive technologies leaves aside the socio-economic and political context in which nanotechnologies are developed. It is in this context that the barriers to a more inclusive development aimed at improving the living conditions of the population must be sought. But, even if this target is not met, new technologies can result in market and competitive advantages, although deepening the gap in social inequality. The text is divided into two sections. In the first, the peculiarities of nanotechnologies are explained, allowing their identification as a new form of disruptive production. In the second, an analysis of the context in which nanotechnologies develop as well as their potential social implications is provided.

In response to the new round of industrial and technological revolution, the state has put forward the educational concept of "new engineering" in the field of higher education. Most of the applied undergraduate engineering talents training are applied to the training mode of the ordinary universities before, which leads to the unclear training objectives, obvious characteristics and the low quality of graduates. This paper mainly introduces the reform method of the training mode of Engineering Specialty in Applied Undergraduate Colleges under the background of new engineering, taking the reform of the training mode of electronic information science and technology as an example.

The demand for real-time, affordable, and efficient smart healthcare services is increasing exponentially due to the technological revolution and burst of population. To meet the increasing demands on this critical infrastructure, there is a need for intelligent methods to cope with the existing related challenges. In this regard, edge computing technology can reduce latency and energy consumption by moving processes closer to the data sources in comparison to the traditional centralized cloud and IoT-based healthcare systems. In addition, by bringing automated insights into the smart healthcare systems, artificial intelligence (AI) provides the possibility of detecting and predicting high-risk diseases in advance, decreasing medical costs for patients, and offering efficient treatments. The objective of this article is to highlight the benefits of the adoption of the edge intelligent technology, along with the use of AI in smart healthcare systems. Moreover, a novel smart healthcare model is proposed to boost the utilization of AI and edge technology in smart healthcare systems. Additionally, we discuss potential challenges and future research directions arising when integrating these different technologies., NA

Cloud computing is generally believed to the most gifted technological revolution in computing and it will soon become an industry standard. It is believed that cloud will replace the traditional office setup. However a big question mark exists over the network performance when the cloud traffic explodes. We call it “explosion” as in future we know that various cloud services replacing desktop computing will be accessed via cloud and the traffic increases exponentially. This paper aims at addressing some of these doubts better called “dangers” about the network performance, when cloud becomes a standard globally. Our study concentrates on, that despite of offering better round-trip times and throughputs, cloud appears to consistently lose large amounts of the data that it is required to send to the clients. In this paper, we first give a concise survey on the research efforts in this area. Our survey findings show that the networking research community has converged to the common understanding that a measurement infrastructure is insufficient for the optimal operation and future growth of the cloud. Despite many proposals on building an network measurement infrastructure from the research community, we believe that it will not be in the near future for such an infrastructure to be fully deployed and operational, due to both the scale and the complexity of the network. We explore this problem, and offer deduction that might explain this erratic behavior. We also suggest a set of technologies to identify and manage cloud traffic using IP header DS field, QoS protocols and some high speed edge routers. Our solutions assume that cloud is being assessed via basic public network.

A theoretical and methodological analysis of the content characteristics of engineering education correlated with the challenges of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) showed that trends of the third technological revolution dominate in the current university engineers' training model. One of the effective tools for the formation of a university model for training an engineer of the future could be the ideas of using educational social engineering problems based on elements of socio-humanitarian expertise of engineering design decisions. An optimally designed model of an engineer of the future will improve the quality of training and, ultimately, avoid the negative (fatal) consequences of insufficiently substantiated engineering design decisions.

Almost daily we are told how some new technology will revolutionize in our lives. The truth of the matter is most technologies do not. However, occasionally a new technology does appear which provides the grounding for gradual changes that eventually transform our systems of production and the way we live our lives. Historically, we speak of these developments as technological revolutions. By focusing on how such technologies change the nature of work, occupational structures, and systems of production, this chapter attempts to answer two questions: “What is a technological revolution?” and, more importantly, “How do current technologies associated with artificial intelligence fit into the history of technological change?”

During the last decades, technological revolution is creating unprecedented opportunities and challenges. No industry is exempt from this revolution, and in the field of medicine and healthcare, the impact is even more remarkable. Each person, with only one mobile application can synchronize their habits and lifestyle. Technological advances are changing the structure and organization of the medical ecosystem through a transformation driven by developments in the areas including big data, Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, 3D printing and virtual reality. The potential of these not-so-new technologies in the computer domain when applied to the health sector lies in the possibility of combining traditional medial approaches with other new forms of health data management and visualization, patient care, prosthetics, surgery, etc. The aim of this track is to collect some of the most innovative computer based technological developments applied to both the contexts of biomedical training and clinical practice, as well as in other fields related to Health Sciences training; providing an excellent opportunity for the promotion and exchange of innovative teaching experiences in the health field, especially those based on the use of state-of-the-art technology.

One of the pillars of the technological revolution that began in the seventies was the development of the Internet. This network has evolved in such a way that it now forms a complex structure that radically changed the social and economic dynamics at the end of century XX. Nowadays, new technologies allow anything from communication and information exchange to the realization of complex financial transactions, all from anywhere in the world and almost instantaneously. In spite of the widespread use of the Internet, there are still territories and inhabitants, mostly emplaced in remote rural areas, who live outside of this technological revolution. By contrast, urban areas enjoy a privileged position in the dissemination of the information society by concentrating most of the telecommunications infrastructure and monopolize the most qualified people. But there are many disparities in terms of diffusion of new technologies and these will transfer, in turn, to the enterprise sector which is the subject of this research. The differences in the use of new technologies and more specifically the use of advanced services on the Internet are related to the sector where the population is employed and its level of training. One of the advanced services offered by the Network is teleworking. Nowadays there are companies that offer their employees the opportunity to develop their professional activities outside their headquarters, using their homes as an alternative or call centers enabled with computers and Internet access. The purpose of this research is the study of the consumption of Internet advanced services by companies in the metropolitan area of Madrid, analyzing the spread of telework in more detail,a potential offered by new technologies and which may modify the current pattern of mobility in the main urban areas because it is from here where big companies are guiding the global economy.

Introduction. New urban context in the information societyThe technological revolution which started at the beginning of 1970 gave rise to a new type of society. This technological revolution could be compared to the importance of new sources of energy in the Industrial Revolution, which received different names according to the authors. Castells (2000) defines it as a Net Society or Information Society; Bell (1976) refers to it as a Post-industrial Society, meanwhile other authors such as Serra (1999) calls it a Knowledge Society. Toffler (1996) called this phase "the third wave", suggesting that it would be as important as the previous revolutions. The concept of a Post-industrial Society referred to by Bell (1976) makes reference to the changes in social structure and to the way in which the economy and job market is being transformed. In this new society, companies, limited companies and other types of organisations build networks (Castells, 2000). From these new activities emerge new economies and industries (Mattelart, 2002) which notably increase employment, although this means the destruction of repetitive and bureaucratic jobs.The transition from the Industrial Society to the Information Society has meant, in an economic aspect, the change from factory work to service work and from physical work to mental work (Fukuyama, 2000). For the first time in history, the human brain has a direct productive strength and not only a decisive element in the production system (Castells, 2000). In the Information Society the production is worldwide and the information technology is cheap, thus enabling the movement of information and financial transactions across national borders (Veltz, 1999; Castells, 2000).With the arrival of the Internet, space-time relationship has narrowed more than ever. There was a rise at work and authors such as Cairncross talked about "The End of Distance", "The Death of Distance", "A World without Distances", "Virtual Space", "The Virtual Community", or "Cyberspace". All of them conclude that we are witnessing a large global opening with the creation of information flow with economic, political, social and cultural communication within a large worldwide net (Short and Kim, 1999). Nowadays, the Internet is the backbone of global communications through the computer, which at the same time connects millions of computer networks including the whole spectre of human communication (Castells, 2000). The development of the Internet not only has a large economic repercussion but also a social and cultural one which has given rise to a large amount of research on its origins and its consequences. Authors such as Serra Hurtado (1999) say that the Internet is the infrastructure for the knowledge society that is about to be designed and built. But the telecommunication infrastructures are not a solution to promote development processes alone (Malecki, 2003; Grimes, 2000), qualified personnel who can make the most of these technologies is necessary. For Serra Hurtado (1999) the challenge will be to know what is to be put in this infrastructure and which society will be developed on this platform. At the same time he asks for a study into whether this new type of society is to be planned, is to be spontaneous, or if it is just to make an impact on that rising society.In the industrial society, information, technology and knowledge were exclusive to advanced nations, mainly concentrated in the big metropolis and important capitals. When it comes to the information society this situation changes in some aspects, being those of smaller size entities or even those on the rural outskirts having access to huge amounts of information that can generate knowledge and, at the same time, promote development processes. In the same way, the information society can mean a new opportunity for less developed areas and it can also increase the preexistent socioeconomic differences in the industrial age. The unplanned broadcasting boom of the information society generated large areas and social masses unimpressed by the Internet and therefore unaware of the profits and opportunities on offer. …

The advanced market of engineering services is essentially important for a shift to the age of industry 4.0, since it determines the potential capacity of a country for creating science-driven productions, improving technologies under conditions of digital transformation, increasing the existing capacities through implementation of large high-tech investment-and-construction projects. Within the study, the stage of development of engineering in Russia was assessed as a method of promoting innovations applied within the process of elaboration and implementation of investment-and-construction projects under digital transformation of the economy. The study involved analysis, comparison, generalization, grouping and modeling methods. Legislative acts of the Russian federation were used, as well as regulatory documents on activities in construction engineering, statistical and analytical proceedings and documentation, materials from scientific conferences, official publications on problems of engineering development when implementing investment-and-construction projects. During the study, some external, legal and technological factors that restrain the development of the engineering services market were revealed and some ways to neutralize them were found. The following factors of technological revolution were identified: transition to digital economy and thereby transition from investment-and-construction engineering to digital engineering in the framework of investment-and-construction activities. Processes of digital engineering were investigated in terms of projects implemented by ViPS Group of Companies and their general contractor ZAO Strabag. The main advantages of digital engineering were analyzed when implementing investment-and-construction projects in Russia.

This is an inevitable result of the technological revolution. Therefore, the proper and effective usage of information technology achievements is an effective way to promote the development of education. As an important design thinking method, associative thinking is widely used in teaching and design practice. This article is supported by the achievements of information technology and combined with the needs of teaching for cultivating associative thinking ability in the design field, researching and exploring new methods of cultivating associative thinking ability under the background of big data and information construction.

There is an ongoing technological revolution in the field of biomedical instruments. Consequently, high performance healthcare devices have led to remarkable economic developments in the medical hardware industry. Until now, nearly all optical bio-imaging systems are based on the 2-dimensional imaging chip architecture. In fact, recent developments in digital micromirror devices (DMDs) are gradually making their way from conventional optical projection displays into biomedical instruments. As an ultrahigh-speed spatial light modulator, the DMD may offer a range of new applications including real-time biomedical sensing or imaging, as well as orientation tracking and targeted screening. Given its short history, the use of DMD in biomedical and healthcare instruments has emerged only within the past decade. In this paper, we first provide an overview by summarizing all reported cases found in the literature. We then critically analyze the general pros and cons of using DMD, specifically in terms of response speed, stability, accuracy, repeatability, robustness, and degree of automation, in relation to the performance outcome of the designated instrument. Particularly, we shall focus our discussion on the use of Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS)-based devices in a set of representative instruments including the surface plasmon resonance biosensor, optical microscopes, Raman spectrometers, ophthalmoscopes, and the micro stereolithographic system. Finally, the prospects of using the DMD approach in biomedical or healthcare systems and possible next generation DMD-based biomedical devices are presented.

The importance of a strong link amongst the ministries, regulators, NMI (CSIR-NPL) and industries evolving as a game changer to enhance export and improve the quality of import will be discussed. The impact of electromagnetic metrology on overall economic growth of the country and ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ are outlined.

Energy storage technology is the key to achieve sustainable energy development and can be used in power, transportation, and industrial production. Large-scale energy storage systems are a key part of smart grid construction. To a certain extent, the application of energy storage technology determines the development level of renewable energy and determines the success or failure of energy Internet. At the same time, the discovery, invention and application of new materials are inseparable from the technological revolution and industrial transformation. New materials will play an irreplaceable foundation and support role in the smart grid. Accelerating the development of new materials is of strategic importance for promoting technological innovation, supporting industrial upgrading, and building a strong manufacturing country (Qi et al. 2007; Wu et al. 2017).

The present paper analyzes the evolution of technology from the beginning of human history. We introduce a new paradigm to analyze the causes and trends of the global evolution. We describe the direction of technological transformations and discuss and explain the present and forthcoming technological changes. We also present a detailed analysis of the latest technological revolution, which we denote as ‘Cybernetic,’ and give some forecasts about its development up to the end of the twenty-first century. It is shown that the expansion of various self-regulating systems will be the main trend of this revolution. We argue that the technological transition of the final phase of the Cybernetics revolution will start in medicine, which is to be the keystone of technological convergence forming the system of MANBRIC-technologies (based on medicine, additive, nano-, bio-, robotics, IT, and cognitive technologies). Today, we are at the threshold to the new era of unprecedented control of a human body, considerable life extension, organ replacement, brain–computer interfaces, robotics, genome editing, etc. The authors describe the mechanisms of technological development and discuss possible risks as well as the limits of post-human revolution.

The third scientific and technological revolution is another major leap in the field of science and technology after the steam technology revolution and the power technology revolution in the history of human civilization.

New developments in software projects for the construction sector are a technological revolution and provide new methods of infrastructure design and modeling, highlighting the Building Information Modeling (BIM). BIM is a technology and methodology used in the most developed countries and little by little this technology is being implemented in other countries where its use is increasing. This new work methodology makes it easier to manage and plan new projects, saving time and minimizing costs. The advantages of using BIM stand out in large projects thanks to the better handling of large volumes of information. This article will address, with the example of using BIM technology, the design project of a fictitious university sports pavilion located in Seville (Spain). Using the BIM Edificius&reg, software, the 3D modeling of this building will be carried out in order to calculate and design the building&rsquo, s facilities with CYPECAD MEP&reg, software, making use of the IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) format to exchange the building design between both programs.
