Television's moment
Television was one of the forces shaping the cultural revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, when a blockbuster TV series could reach up to a third of a country’s population. This book explores television’s impact on social change by comparing three sitcoms and their audiences. The shows in focus – Till Death Us Do Part in Britain, All in the Family in the United States, and One Heart and One Soul in West Germany – centered on a bigoted anti-hero and his family. Between 1966 and 1979 they saturated popular culture, and managed to accelerate as well as deradicalize value changes and collective attitudes regarding gender roles, sexuality, religion, and race.

Survey of Technology in Network Security Situation Awareness
Network security situation awareness (NSSA) is an integral part of cybersecurity defense, and it is essential for cybersecurity managers to respond to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Different from traditional security measures, NSSA can identify the behavior of various activities in the network and conduct intent understanding and impact assessment from a macro perspective so as to provide reasonable decision support, predicting the development trend of network security. It is a means to analyze the network security quantitatively. Although NSSA has received extensive attention and exploration, there is a lack of comprehensive reviews of the related technologies. This paper presents a state-of-the-art study on NSSA that can help bridge the current research status and future large-scale application. First, the paper provides a concise introduction to NSSA, highlighting its development process. Then, the paper focuses on the research progress of key technologies in recent years. We further discuss the classic use cases of NSSA. Finally, the survey details various challenges and potential research directions related to NSSA.

Fuzzy logic for situation awareness: a systematic review
Situation awareness is the cognitive capability of human and artificial agents to perceive, understand and predict the status of the situation in an environment. Situation awareness systems aim at supporting the situation awareness of human and artificial agents using computational techniques, models, and approaches for supporting the assessment, tracking, and prediction of critical situations. Fuzzy logic formalisms have been extensively used in situation awareness systems thanks to their capability of dealing with uncertainties while providing agents with easily understandable models of situations and decisions. This paper proposes a systematic, unbiased, and updated review of the literature on fuzzy logic for situation awareness from 2010 to 2021, conducted using the PRISMA methodology, analyzing 139 articles. An in-depth discussion of the main open challenges and future research directions is provided.

Assembling the Situation: Situational Analysis After the Nonhuman Turn
In this paper, I propose a reconceptualization of human and non-human elements in qualitative research by treating them not as pre-given entities but as nested assemblages. I draw on the work of DELEUZE and GUATTARI (2004 [1980]) to integrate the metaconcept of the assemblage into situational analysis (CLARKE, FRIESE & WASHBURN, 2018), thereby addressing its limitations in handling nonhuman elements and fully aligning it with the nonhuman turn. Two heuristics-capacities and internal limits-are introduced to operationalize this approach, enabling the deconstruction of elements' perceived unity and the mapping of the modules that constitute them. I start out by exploring the nonhuman turn and the concepts of assemblages and rhizomes. I then trace the evolution of situational analysis from grounded theory methodology, highlighting inconsistencies in the treatment of nonhuman elements. By reconfiguring situational analysis's analytical space, I locate situations among other situations and treat their elements as products of heterogeneous assemblages. With this framework, I demonstrate how situational analysis can effectively analyze how nonhuman elements emerge and how they participate in situations via specific capacities.

Finance becoming (tech) in socio-technical interaction orders: The case of digital everyday financial practices
Discussing recent literature on online financial practices, this article argues that ‘finance becoming tech’ assumes the form of particular financial situations in the everyday, to be understood in terms of Erving Goffman’s concept of interaction order . While the interactionist strand in the social study of finance foregrounds the role of techno-social situations in the constitution of finance, this article suggests applying Goffman’s notion of the ‘interaction order’ to that debate and demonstrates the latter’s capability to reconstruct the techno-social mechanisms through which finance emerges in the everyday. Unlike the notion of ‘situation’, that of ‘interaction order’ addresses the constitution of situational boundaries through interactional procedures as they refer only partially and selectively to circumstances of their social contexts. Against this background, online financial practices are analytically contoured as techno-social situations that enable the emergence of finance as a matter of the everyday. It is argued that the enabling condition for this commingling of everyday and financial processes is a specific delimitation of the digital-financial interaction order from parts of its political economic context – in particular, the uncertainty that structurally characterizes the financial economy.
