With the support of the Austrian Science Fund FWF, a team of Austrian and Hungarian sociologists is investigating what impact the protracted economic crisis has on the motives that fuel solidarity. Solidarity can be inclusive, inspired by a sense of social justice, or exclusive, i.e. extended only to one’s own national or ethnic group. Solidarity is a value emblazoned on many banners. While it is always about cohesion, justice and mutual support within a group, the definition of who is part of the group and who does not belong can be based on a variety of factors. Whereas right-wing populist groups focus more on solidarity within a group of uniform national/ethnic background, young movements such as PODEMOS in Spain fight for social justice, democratic improvements and solidarity for people of shared social parameters facing a common fate. The earlier SIREN project headed by the sociologist Jörg Flecker was conducted between ...

Ensuring that different SM-SR and SM-DP servers interact properly The new COMPRION GSMA SGP.11 Off-card Interfaces Test Bench contains 74 tests. It helps server providers to prove that their SM-DP (Subscription Manager Data Preparation) or SM-SR (Subscription Manager Secure Routing) are compliant with the GSMA Test Specification SGP.11. It also ensures that the servers are compatible with each other. Olaf Rethmeier, Product Manager for eUICC M2M Test Solutions at COMPRION, explains: “The eUICC ecosystem bases on interoperability of all parties. As SM-SR and SM-DP may come from different manufacturers, it is even more essential that they work together.” For establishing a reliable M2M infrastructure, it does not suffice to test the characteristics and behavior of the individual components such as the eUICC or the involved back-end servers. Moreover, it is essential to look at the communication between the off-card entities SM-DP, SM-SR, MNO (Mobile Network Operator) und EUM (eUICC Manufacturer). ...

Advertisement, information, and monitoring: Labels are indispensable in logistics and retail. Just like the whole packaging market, labels are continuously further developed by means of product and technical innovations. „New trends and regulations, for example concerning recycling or RFID tags, influence this special market“, explains Oliver Kutsch, CEO of Ceresana. The market research company forecasts demand for paper and plastic labels in Europe to increase by 1.6% per year in the upcoming eight years. Different Countries, Different Labels The demand for labels in the various countries is mainly influenced by the development of the particular consumer goods segments.

The current study of Ceresana thus examines the particular development of individual segments in 21 country profiles. Throughout Europe, plastic labels will mainly increase in the segments cosmetics & ...

These include besides packaging, such as bags and sacks, also films for, e.g., agriculture, the construction industry, and technical applications. Innovative, Fast, Appealing Digital printing offers new possibilities for the design of packaging. Precondition for this is, however, that it is easy, fast, and optically of high quality to print on the films.
