Recent European e-waste legislation has motivated scientific researchers to develop lead-free materials for electronic devices, such as lead-free piezoelectric alternatives to Lead zirconate titanate (PZT). Motivated by the case study of PZT alternatives, three major issues surrounding US e-waste regulation are identified: the current patchwork of state-by-state recycling policy, the lack of academic and industry cooperation to introduce lead-free alternative electronics, and the failure to manage and classify hazardous electronic materials and their alternatives through a full life-cycle perspective. A targeted, three-pronged solution toward more comprehensive federal e-waste policy is proposed: (1) Re-introduce S. 1397 Electronic Device Recycling Research and Development Act to enable the National Academy of Science to research effective ways of establishing a federal recycling program; (2) Propose the National Science Foundation submit a proposal for a “lead-free electronics and sustainable materials for the 21st century” Industry-University Cooperation Research Center (IUCRC); and (3) Work with international standards development organizations to manage and classify e-waste using life-cycle analysis.","PeriodicalId":201396,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"975 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116214789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though AI assists in making these tasks more efficient, and seemingly less biased through automation, it relies heavily on data created by humans, and consequently can have human biases carry over to decisions made by a model. Several studies have shown biases in machine learning applications such as facial recognition and candidate ranking. This has spurred active research on the topic of fairness in machine learning over the last five years. Several toolkits to mitigate biases and interpret black box models have been developed in an effort to promote fair algorithms. This paper presents an overview of fairness definitions, methods, and tools as they relate to recruitment and establishes ethical considerations in the use of machine learning in the hiring space.","PeriodicalId":201396,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131098561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rapidly evolving security technologies come with new opportunities for the security sector on the one hand, but on the other lead to new threats related to privacy and a potential lack of democratic control. Using a foresight approach based on the concept of sociotechnical imaginaries, this paper offers a new approach to consider emerging technologies in the field of public security and reflect their potential impacts on society in Germany. By using storytelling in scenarios, a methodological approach is offered to capture potential future developments and make them accessible in a broader negotiation process about the pros and cons of implementing new security technologies. Referring to the concept of “security culture”, means ideas, norms, and practices of individuals and organizations about why and how security technologies will be implemented in understandable and comprehensible pictures of public security in Germany in the next ten to fifteen years. Those possible scenarios were developed based on data from qualitative content analyses of tech publications and policy papers that focus on emerging security technologies. With this foresight approach, it is possible to provide insight into the impact of security technology and initiate a reflection on current trends.","PeriodicalId":201396,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123864690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on surveys of educators focused primarily in the U.S., other Anglo countries, and Western Europe, 673 individuals reported teaching sustainability in their courses. These responses were examined for trends in teaching and assessment methods for ethics and societal impacts (ESI), and compared to those who teach ESI but not including sustainability. Follow-up interviews provided six more detailed examples of teaching practices specific to sustainability in courses where sustainability was a primary focus for integration. The results illustrate sustainability practices that include a macroethics lens, and could inspire educators to increase the integration of sustainability into their teaching.","PeriodicalId":201396,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"131 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120973962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, having intelligent, sustainable, and robust systems is a global challenge, specifically for renewable energy grid connected systems. One of the most important aspects is investigating the changes in load demand and electricity prices over the project lifetime and the possible impact on the system's performance. This paper continued work on a previous study and illustrates the importance of sensitivity analysis and system flexibility for RE systems connected to utility grid. Net present cost (NPC), levelized cost of energy (LCOE), system environmental impacts were investigated using HOMER software to do the analysis of this study. The simulation results showed that changes in load demand and electricity prices can have a significant impact on system's performance and integration to the power systems.","PeriodicalId":201396,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132650029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
