Chapter 1 Concept of Civilization
This document defines key concepts related to civilization, including definitions of civilization in different languages. It discusses the study of civilization versus the history of civilization. The main features of civilization discussed include strong religion, organized government, urban life, writing systems, specialized skills, and agriculture. The relationships between civilization and factors like religion, culture, and nation are explored. Civilization is seen as manifesting a society's high culture and being shaped by religion, though the two can also be separated.
Guerra Fría
La guerra de Corea marcó el inicio de la Guerra Fría en Asia y demostró la determinación de EEUU para contener la expansión del comunismo. La intervención de China Popular cambió el curso del conflicto. Tras dos años de estancamiento en el paralelo 38, se firmó el armisticio en 1953 sin lograr la unificación de Corea, que quedó dividida entre el régimen comunista de Kim Il Sung en el norte y el gobierno anticomunista de Syngman Rhee en el sur, apoyado por EEUU.

Technologies For Uncovering Modernity
The document discusses the role of science, technology, and innovation (STI) in uncovering modernity in Africa. It argues that STI and modernity are co-constitutive, and that Africa needs scientific renewal to overcome its current state of being "scientifically castrated" with less than 0.1% of global scientific production. It outlines characteristics of modernity like rationalization and secularization, and describes several "technologies" like the technology of self, freedom, signs, newness, change, power, and truth that STI can help develop to transform African societies and uncover modernity.
Uncovering Modernity 9 Slides
Development Issues and Directions for Revealing a Distinctive Mode of Modernity or Post-Modernity in the African Region: the passage from the ‘Book of Scripture’ to the ‘Book of Nature’ or from the submission to the white man’s colonizing gods to the more authentic and genuine African identities, beliefs and values.
Knowledge Systems For Uncovering Modernityin Africa 7s
The document discusses the need for Africa to embrace scientific and modern ways of thinking to advance development. It argues that scientific rationality is core to modernity but that much of Africa's societies are still shaped by religious dogmas and traditions instead of science. It advocates for transforming Africa's knowledge systems by shifting from faith-based to evidence-based thinking, strengthening scientific foundations, and pursuing changes in a more aggressive way to address the continent's fundamental challenges.
Systems Approach to Culture
The document discusses key systems and terminology related to cultural analysis from an anthropological perspective. It describes 7 cultural systems: kinship, educational, economic, political, religious, association, and health. It also outlines 6 key cultural terminology concepts: patterns and themes, explicit and implicit culture, micro- and subcultures, universals and diversity, rational/irrational/nonrational behavior, and tradition. Throughout, it provides examples to illustrate each system and concept. In closing, it briefly discusses the cultural bias of omitting the 13th floor in some Western elevators due to superstition around the number 13.
(mis)understanding transhumanism
Transhumanism is a complex phenomenon that incorporates ideas from humanism while also considering enhancements beyond current human capabilities using science and technology. It contains many apparent contradictions, as it possesses elements that are both individualistic and communal, rational and spiritual, future-oriented and rooted in history. Due to its blending of diverse and sometimes opposing philosophies and goals, transhumanism defies straightforward categorization.
Science and Religion: Ugly Sisters?
Both Science and Religion are faith-based. A SWOT analysis of each is undertaken, with some uncomfortable messages for practitioners. This powerpoint presentation of 90 slides is provided as a basis for a discussion to help for a better understanding. It will become clear that confrontation and isolation of science and religion breads ugliness, distrust and is unhelpful .

Fundamental Technologies for Cosmological, Cultural and Social Change and for Revealing a Distinctive Style of Modernity in Africa: the Modernization of our Mental or Intellectual Costumes
What is transhumanism
The document discusses the goals and philosophy of transhumanism, which advocates using technology to enhance human capabilities and abolish involuntary suffering by achieving indefinite life extension, abundant resources through space exploration, and advancing intelligence through both biological and technological means. It outlines concerns about aging populations, resource shortages, and economic crises, and proposes focusing research on anti-aging, artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, and space exploitation to address these challenges. The document asks what individuals can do to help achieve this vision through funding research, building high-tech communities, and using their own skills to collaborate on advancing relevant technologies.
CONFORM OR REFORM
This document discusses the need for reform and unity among humanity. It argues that religious and political divisions have led to war, destruction and the oppression of populations for the benefit of elites. The document presents a vision for a more enlightened and cooperative world order based on secular education that promotes understanding between all people. It analyzes how humanity diverged due to religious myths, theological mindsets of superiority, war, propaganda and corrupt economic systems. Reform is needed through mass education emphasizing our shared humanity to replace the current culture of conflict with one of global peace and prosperity.

Introduction to Science, Technology and Society
Science, Technology and Society (STS) is an interdisciplinary field that studies the conditions under which the production, distribution and utilization of scientific knowledge and technological systems occur; the consequences of these activities upon different groups of people.
Developing a Theology of Technology
This document discusses developing a theology of technology to better prepare Christians for ministry in a technological world. It addresses:
1. The key questions in developing a theology of technology, such as the needs it aims to address and its different audiences.
2. How theology of technology can learn from related disciplines like theology, science and religion, and media ecology to lay the foundation for a coherent Christian worldview.
3. The conclusion that theology of technology should provide a framework for Christians, address the needs of different audiences, build on wisdom from key disciplines, and lay the foundation for new sub-disciplines to prepare Christians for technology.
Sti For Revealing Modernity In Africa Rev1
The paper provides a speculative reflection on the power of modern science, technology and innovation systems (STI) for revealing some distinctive style of modernity in Africa. The modernization of these systems, as the backbones of any mode of modernity, also requires the modernization of our mental or intellectual costumes. This process is essentially the passage from closed, self-confirming, faith-based, customary, totalizing or terrorizing knowledge systems to essentially falsifiable, evidence-based, scientifically-established and technically-proven innovative knowledge systems. In these systems scientific knowledge can be construed as a theory of the real and as a technology of truth and understood as the epistemological foundation of any form of Afro-modernity. It is also the passage from the ‘Book of Scripture’ to the ‘Book of Nature’ or from the submission to the white man’s colonizing gods to the more authentic and genuine African identities, beliefs and values, such as those embodied in the concept of ubuntu. In this perspective rejuvenating knowledge systems can purge Abrahamic and Shamanic worldviews of non-scientific constituents and open a path from the mostly totemic, enchanted, mystified, supernatural, patriarchal / phallocratic and over-religious worldviews and mindsets of pre-modern Africa to the more desacralized, secular, rational, liberal, enlightened and autonomous worldviews and mindsets of modernity. This paradigmatic shift toward modern ways of knowing and understanding requires championing the scientific method, the rule of technique and innovation as well as promoting decisive scientific arbitrations, increased technical mediations and a redefinition of STI’s relationships with religious, cultural, social and economic life. For this shift to occur there is a need to better appreciate modern science as a method of both calculative and subversive thinking, as a means of achieving the systematic renovation of conventional / medieval / pre-modern realities and as a way to reconstruct and re-order African realities from fresh fundamentals and from the latest scientific insights. This may require strengthening various capacities to probe, undermine and rationalize oppressive systems (religious, cultural, social, economic, political). It may also require re-cosmologizing, re-mythologizing, ‘re-prophetizing’, re-charlatanizing and re-directing the evolution of the African reality toward a region free of wishful thinking, fallacies, lies, superstitions, prejudices, magic and witchcraft and toward an Islam-free and Christian-free scientifically-informed free-thinking innovative post-colony. The necessary capacities for achieving this shift toward more innovative scientific and technical orders and systems are grouped into eight areas.
Países más religiosos, menos científicos
This document analyzes how scientific discoveries, religious beliefs, and political conflicts interact and shape economic development over time. It develops a model where scientific discoveries generate productivity gains but sometimes contradict religious doctrines, causing belief erosion. A government can allow or block the spread of discoveries, and a religious organization can adapt doctrines to accommodate new knowledge. The model shows three long-run outcomes may emerge: 1) secularization with declining religion and unimpeded science, 2) theocracy with knowledge stagnation and extreme religion protected by the state, or 3) a regime combining stable religion and scientific progress through doctrinal adaptation. It also analyzes how rising inequality can induce anti-science policies by forming a religious-right political alliance.

Islam the only way
This document discusses the state of the modern world and argues that Islam shows the way forward. It begins by noting that while the modern age has brought immense knowledge, wealth, and technological achievements, it lacks moral and spiritual values. As a result, humanity's progress has actually added to its suffering through things like selfishness, greed, hatred, and weapons of mass destruction. The document then examines areas like knowledge, energy, wealth, resources, and medical aid that have advanced greatly. However, it argues that without moral guidance, this progress has caused more problems. The document rejects solutions from communism, capitalism, and other ideologies. It asserts that only Islam can save humanity and guide it to peace by answering questions about human purpose and
Does Technology Replace Humanity?
This document discusses whether technology replaces humanity. It defines human, humanity, and technology. Technology plays an important role in many sectors like oil and gas, medical, social, environment, and more. While technology brings benefits like connecting with others, it can also negatively impact social interactions by reducing physical interaction and non-verbal communication. Technology exposes people to new subcultures online but some subcultures promote unhealthy behaviors. Relying too much on technology can make people less human by decreasing critical thinking and problem solving skills. However, the document concludes that while technology may replace aspects of humanity, we should not let it completely replace our human qualities and skills.
Spiral Dynamics Introduction
Spiral Dynamics Integral is a model that describes human value systems and how they evolve. It identifies eight value systems, or "levels", that correspond to different ways of thinking and viewing the world. These levels form a spiral pattern with each new level building on the previous ones in increased complexity. The model aims to explain how people think about things and make decisions based on their underlying values rather than surface beliefs. It can be applied to understand individuals, groups, organizations, and societies.
How To Write A Proposal Essay
Fingerprint scanning works by capturing an image of a fingerprint and converting it to a unique
numeric code. This code is then compared to codes in fingerprint databases, like those maintained by
the FBI, to identify individuals. While fingerprint scanning provides strong security through biometric
identification, there are also privacy concerns about how fingerprint data is collected, stored, and
shared between law enforcement agencies. The paper discusses both the pros and cons of using
fingerprint scanning for security purposes.
505-524 MIL-385053
This article argues that critical international relations theory could benefit from greater engagement with religious and spiritual perspectives in order to more fully address global issues. It notes that critical theory has generally viewed religion negatively and been limited by Eurocentric assumptions. However, for most people globally, struggles for justice and emancipation cannot be separated from struggles to "live faithfully." The article examines how critical theory could open up to engage with theological insights from Christianity and Judaism on topics like social justice. It maintains that critical theory has a transformative vision for international relations that could be strengthened through this type of engagement, especially for relevance in the increasingly religious global South.

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
