   Keywords : RF Crosstalk; PICs; Transmission line; microstrim. complanar stripline;

   Abstract : Currently two main tracks are considered for integration of photonic circuits. Silicon based integration may be more cost effective; however implementation of some functionalities like laser, is problematic. In contrast InP offers complete solution of photonic integration including laser diodes. READ MORE

6. 5. Pics or it didn't happen: Instagram in Prosumer Capitalism and Reflexive Modernity

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för etnologi

   Author : Aaron Frey; [2012]
   Keywords : Instagram; Facebook; social media; social network sites; mobile computing; prosumption; prosumer capitalism; web 2.0; photography; material culture; reflexive modernity; communities of practice; practice theory; Cultural Sciences;

   Abstract : Drawing on practice centered approaches to consumption, this study situates a cultural analysis of Instagram, a smartphone-­‐based image sharing application used by over 80 million people worldwide, within wider discourses on reflexive modernity, critical media studies, prosumption, and late-­‐modern consumer culture. A seven-­‐day diary study with 25 international participants, supplemented by participant observation, helps tie these theoretical engagements to specific lived experiences illustrating what it means to live with a networked camera almost permanently on-­‐hand to record and share images of daily life.
