Migration, mobility and international health
The document discusses the relationship between migration and health. It notes that about 3% of the world's population lives outside their country of birth. Migrants are a diverse group and their health is influenced by pre-entry, transitional, and post-entry phases of migration. Their health can be affected by stress, housing, access to healthcare, occupational hazards, and infectious diseases. The document recommends developing standard definitions, monitoring migrant health services, researching health inequalities, and developing culturally sensitive prevention programs and healthcare services for migrants.

18 08 17 Modeling Best Practice on Conflict-Related Sexual Violence (CRSV)
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We are pleased to share with you a speech and presentation titled “Refugee Law Project Model on Addressing Conflict-related Sexual Violence” delivered during a training organised by Association for Religious of Uganda on the International Protocol on the Documentation and Investigation of Sexual Violence in Conflict.
The training brought several religious leaders from across the country – demonstrating the commitment of a fraction of religious leaders in Uganda in the fight against sexual violence in conflict.
Undoubtedly, religious leaders in Uganda and elsewhere find themselves having to support vulnerable people including those persecuted on the basis of their religious believes or backgrounds. Not peculiar to Uganda, religious leaders have not shown fatigue in supporting refugees and other vulnerable people who have and continue to grapple with legacies of unaddressed injuries acquired prior to flight, during flight, and upon arrival in supposed to be safe haven. As such religious leaders remain important actors in providing spiritual, moral, medical, psychological, and material support to hundreds if not thousands of asylum seekers and refugees seeking sanctuary in Uganda.
As such, we implore you to where possible collaborate with religious leaders in responding to cases of sexual violence and supporting effective documentation and investigation for access to justice purposes.
Thank you.

P justino microcon conference 2011
This document summarizes key lessons from research on micro-level analyses of violent conflict. It discusses how ordinary people matter and adapt in conflict situations, shaping conflict processes and outcomes. It argues that understanding individual and group interactions is important to better inform conflict policy. The document also outlines knowledge gaps around how people live in conflict contexts and adapt their livelihoods. It proposes a framework to study micro-foundations of conflict and how adaptation affects conflict and institutional transformation.
Presentation ageing and disability
The document discusses aging, disability, and development. It notes that disability is an umbrella term covering impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions due to problems with body function/structure, task execution difficulties, and life situation involvement problems respectively. Disability is a complex phenomenon influenced by both individual and societal factors. Common causes of disability and loss of livelihood among older adults include hearing loss, vision problems, and mental disorders. Fewer than 25% of those affected by conditions like Alzheimer's and depression have access to adequate treatment. The document calls for a focus on chronic but treatable conditions and wider access to low-cost interventions to help older adults live productively.

Trauma Informed Care & Practice: Usi...
This document discusses trauma informed care and practice, with a focus on childhood trauma. It notes that while trauma is a core issue for many consumers, current mental health services seldom identify or address trauma. Childhood trauma can have widespread impacts and coping strategies adopted in childhood often persist into adulthood. The document calls for a trauma informed approach that recognizes a person's traumatic life experiences rather than just focusing on diagnoses. It outlines some key principles of trauma informed care including safety, choice, and empowerment.
Police duties in covid 19 period
The document discusses police duties and responsibilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. It notes that police must perform their regular duties while also ensuring their own safety and enforcing public health measures. Specific responsibilities mentioned include breaking up gatherings, using media to inform the public, and distributing rations while maintaining social distancing. The document provides guidance on how police can effectively communicate with the public and address crimes during the pandemic.

Occasional Paper 1/2014: Conflict-related sexual and gender-based violence: A...Australian Civil-Military Centre
This document provides an introductory overview of conflict-related sexual and gender-based violence for non-specialists. It examines dominant patterns of such violence, including widespread violence against women and girls as well as male victims. It explores a range of causes beyond strategic warfare, like gender inequality. It also identifies gaps in preventing and responding to violence, such as lack of support services and data. The overview aims to improve understanding and support for preventing and addressing this complex issue.160426 middletonj Preventing violence
This document discusses the role of public health in preventing violence. It argues that violence should be viewed as a public health problem and that the public health community has neglected this role. It makes three key points:
1) The public health community should be more interested in violence prevention and promote the evidence base for effective crime and violence prevention strategies.
2) Public health directors should provide leadership for local crime and violence prevention partnerships and agendas.
3) The police are interested in evidence-based approaches to crime prevention and public policy.
The document provides information on the magnitude of violence as a global public health issue, risk factors, and evidence for effective primary, secondary and tertiary prevention strategies. It emphasizes

Lethal violence in Asia-Pacific
While the Asia-Pacific region is home to over half the world's population, it accounts for less than a quarter of global lethal violence. Nine out of ten countries in the region have low violence rates, except for Southern Asia which exceeds the global average. Approximately one-third of all conflict deaths worldwide occur in the Asia-Pacific, driven largely by Afghanistan, India, Pakistan and Myanmar. Firearm violence and deaths from unplanned munitions explosions are also relatively high in parts of the region.

This presentation addresses the challenges of armed violence in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Kenya, which has faced security issues due to the proliferation of illicit small arms and light weapons. Kenya has implemented initiatives to address both the supply and demand of these weapons, including arms collection, destruction, record keeping, and legal/policy reforms. However, external factors like weapons trafficking from conflict areas, terrorism, and regional instability still pose challenges. A comprehensive, integrated approach is needed that combines security and development efforts to address the root causes of armed violence in a sustainable manner.

While some may be concerned that including peace could securitize development or violate sovereignty, the document responds that peace targets could focus on preventing conflict, be implemented locally, and do not require external intervention. It recommends improving the language and reducing the number of targets for the proposed Goal 16 on peace and governance to make it more measurable and manageable.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.Monitoring and Managing Anomaly Detection on OpenShift.pdf
