Castells, the impact of the internet on society a global perspectiveGiuliano Tavaroli
This document is an introduction written by Manuel Castells to his essay on the impact of the Internet on society from a global perspective. It provides background on Castells and discusses how the Internet has grown from 40 million users in 1996 to over 2.5 billion users in 2013. It also notes that 95% of all information is now digitized and accessible online. The introduction aims to assess the effects of the Internet by summarizing key research findings, using data from studies conducted around the world. It argues that technology is shaped by social and cultural forces, so the Internet's impact must be understood in the context of the new "network society" and "culture of autonomy" it enables.
The document discusses civic entrepreneurialism and innovation in communities. It provides examples of communities that successfully mobilized civic leadership and networks to diversify their economies. Key principles for communities include empowering collaboration between parts, connecting networks, and evangelizing shared interests through compelling stories. Case studies demonstrate how aligning objectives to ideals and coordinating civic action has led to economic growth, job creation, and preservation of quality of life in various regions.

ECO-UNESCO's Seminar Series: Exploring Good Practice in Education for Sustainable Development
Presentation by Elaine Nevin, ECO-UNESCO's National Director, on Education for Sustainable Development.
About this presentation:
In October 2009, ECO-UNESCO held the seminar Exploring Good Practice in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). The seminar allowed participants to engage with organisations and initiatives which are leading in the field of Education for Sustainable Development in Ireland and internationally.
The keynote speaker Andy Griggs (Environmental Education Forum) gave a presentation on Good Practice in Education for Sustainable Development. ECO-UNESCO's National Director, Elaine Nevin, opened the day with a presentation on Education for Sustainable Development.
The document discusses sustainability and sustainable practices for businesses. It defines sustainability as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. Strong sustainability embraces renewable energy, treats waste as a resource, and values diversity and ecosystem resilience. Key aspects of strong sustainability are systems thinking, a principled definition, and backcasting to understand sustainability and practice it effectively.
This document discusses sustainability, sustainable development, and how to achieve sustainability. It defines sustainability as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. Sustainable development aims to maintain socioeconomic systems indefinitely while fulfilling human needs and preserving the environment. The current socioeconomic system prioritizes exponential growth and is unsustainable due to finite resources. To achieve sustainability, the document proposes replacing the current system with a "Technocracy" where experts manage production to maximize living standards for as long as possible using energy credits instead of money.
This document discusses trends in learning environments and the future of classrooms. It notes that while some predicted the classroom would disappear, it remains central to learning. However, classrooms are becoming more dynamic and connected spaces that support participatory and unpredictable interactions. The challenges to designing successful new learning environments include ensuring good conceptual models, feedback, addressing perceptions, and assessing effectiveness while managing costs and distractions.
A smart class is an advanced classroom technology that provides tools and multimedia content for student learning. It involves a computer connected to a projector and interactive whiteboard. The computer screen is projected onto the whiteboard, allowing students to interact with the content directly on the board using a stylus pen or their hands. Popular smart class software and providers in India include Educomp Smart Class and Next Education. The use of digital technologies in smart classrooms has made learning more interactive and helped shift from rote learning to a more engaging experience.
This document provides an introduction to the topic of sustainability. It discusses key concepts like resources, population growth, sustainable development, and interdependence. Resources are defined as anything taken from the environment to make goods and products for human needs and wants. However, using resources leads to waste. Sustainable development means meeting current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. It involves considering consumption, waste, and responsible use of Earth's finite resources. The document stresses thinking globally about how our actions impact others and acting locally through sustainable practices in our own communities.
The document discusses sustainable development in India. It outlines India's current scenario regarding sustainable development and the 1992 UN conference that initiated formal strategies. It also discusses India's strategy for change, including focusing on low-carbon models, climate change adaptation, economic approaches, and technology transfer. Additionally, it addresses developing training courses, sectoral barriers around regulations and poverty, and the need for governments to seek tangible results and revolutionize approaches.

The document discusses women's empowerment in India. It defines empowerment and outlines how it relates to political, social, economic, and educational development. It notes national laws and policies aimed at empowerment, including constitutional provisions, reservation policies, and education acts. However, it highlights ongoing issues like gender gaps in economic participation, health, and political leadership. It concludes that empowerment is a long-term process that requires changes to social attitudes and institutions, as well as stronger implementation of existing policies and programs.
This document discusses the concept of sustainable development. It defines sustainable development as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. The document outlines several key principles of sustainable development, including satisfying basic human needs now and in the future, achieving more equitable living standards globally, preserving biodiversity and natural resources for future generations, and distributing environmental benefits equitably across populations. However, it notes there is no consensus on how to achieve sustainable development or what values and methods of implementation should be used.
This presentation discusses concepts of women empowerment including its meaning and how it works. Empowerment refers to increasing the spiritual, political, social, or economic strength of individuals and communities. It involves developing confidence in one's own capacities. Women empowerment is the process by which women challenge gender-based discrimination and gain control over their own lives. The values of an empowered woman include improving personal knowledge, self-defining power, personal power, authenticity, creativity, physical strength, equality, mutuality in relationships, economic independence, women identification, freedom from oppression, and having political power in society. Women empowerment programs aim to create attitudinal changes and legal reforms to promote equal citizenship and decision-making power for women

Version française: http://www.slideshare.net/helenefinidori/fdrer-les-efforts-pour-un-monde-meilleur
The document provides an overview of a presentation by John Smart on evolution, development, and the future of networks. It discusses concepts like autopoesis, universal development from outer to inner space, and the "goodness of the universe." The presentation outlines that evolution and development can both be seen in life and the universe, with unpredictable evolutionary processes working with predictable developmental processes to create complexity. It also discusses models of evolutionary development dynamics and examples of evolutionary convergences.
Systems thinking is a holistic approach to analysis that focuses on the way that a system's constituent parts interrelate and how systems work over time and within the context of larger systems. The document discusses systems thinking approaches like considering causal loops and flows within systems. It provides an example of how applying pesticides to reduce crop damage from one insect can have unintended consequences by disrupting the natural controls on other insect populations. The document advocates using systems modeling and a strategic outlook to better understand complex problems and their systemic causes.
This document discusses the potential for open source artificial intelligence to help understand molecular biology data. It argues that capturing common sense knowledge computationally has been challenging, but knowledge about molecular biology exists explicitly. An open source AI focused on molecular biology could help explain genomic data by developing a comprehensive knowledge base and using abductive inference. However, explaining biological phenomena is difficult and requires judgment. The document advocates for open source development to gain productivity advantages and build trust through transparency. It outlines challenges and opportunities for facilitating an open source AI community focused on understanding life.
The document discusses learning theory and practice. It covers several key topics:
- Learning is a natural process that occurs across individuals, organizations, and communities.
- Both discovery learning and mastery learning are important, and effective learning requires balancing these approaches.
- Emotions and social connections play a strong role in learning.
- There are multiple forms of intelligence and ways of knowing.
Organizational learning and communities of practice are important for sharing knowledge across groups. New digital technologies also offer opportunities to transform learning.
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.

This document proposes a method of balancing security and liberty through cybersystemically-informed transformative e-learning. It argues that past approaches have increased productivity but not equality or liberty. The proposal is for worldwide variegated e-learning involving trust-building, problem-posing, modeling, and collaboration to help people integrate their perspectives. This may help address issues related to human nature, existential anxiety, and the need for security and identity propagation, by respecting requisite complexity through a cybernetic understanding of dynamic systems. Questions are invited.

Keynote: Rakhi Rajani, Chief Digital Officer, Genomics England
Digital products and services live in the real world and are used by people and society, in context. Disciplinary hierarchy and disciplinary boundaries often hinder innovation. So let’s talk about how we innovate ‘at the intersections’, where brains from different disciplines such as the social sciences, engineering, design, and science bust out of their boxes and come together — instead of competing with each other — to generate solutions. Chair: Adam Warburton, CPO, Co-op.
Sustainability and systems thinking are complex topics that require examining relationships and seeing wholes rather than isolated parts. Key points from the document include:
1) Sustainability considers the relationships between economic, social, and environmental systems and how impacts in one area affect the others.
2) Systems thinking frames problems by looking at patterns of change and interrelationships rather than static snapshots. It focuses on feedback loops and how systems protect the status quo.
3) For sustainability, the natural world's limited capacity to absorb waste and pollution must be respected, and systems must aim to emulate natural cycles where all outputs become inputs.

Steven Johnson studied historical instances of innovation to understand the environments that fostered new ideas. He found that environments encouraging creative thinking and diverse interactions between people from different fields were most conducive to innovation. Specifically, Johnson argues that environments with liquid networks that value connection over isolation, and which allow ideas to build upon previous ideas or platforms, tend to generate the most innovative thinking. Finally, he believes cities are ideal structures for innovation due to their density of people and collision of diverse ideas.
This document discusses several key concepts in information architecture and understanding systems.

After the disaster of switching to a professional army, the debate in Sweden centres around resurrecting conscription or joining NATO as a way to fix the problem. This presentation looks at the joining NATO option.
Sweden moved for a conscription based army to professional army as one years passed from one to another. This quick changed over created a number of serious problems for the Swedish defence. The British and American, however, to time to transfer over. This presentation looks at the British and American experience.
Over the last few years Russia has transformed its military. Not a simple going back to how it was in the Soviet Union but forward to a modern military compatible with Western armies.
A look at the history of conscription, especially in a Swedish context. Sweden has a strong tradition of conscription but that ended in 2010. Where to next? Back to how it was or forward to a professional army?

The course is structured to cover both the technical and radio topics in alternating sections over 10 classes that conclude with hands-on experience using a radio.
The document discusses the history and development of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) phonetic alphabet. It notes that the ITU first adopted an international alphabet in 1927 which was used for civil aviation until WWII. During the war, the USAAF and RAF developed their own codes which were later merged in 1943 and adopted for civilian aviation after the war. In 1947, the ICAO adopted a new alphabet to incorporate common sounds in Spanish, English, and French, though some letters were later changed in 1956 to address problems. The document then lists the letters and numbers of the ICAO alphabet as well as providing the Swedish equivalents.
The document discusses the law and log books for radio amateurs. The law section outlines the requirements to obtain a radio amateur certificate, including following CEPT recommendations and regulations around call signs, power ratings, and permitted frequency bands. The log book section notes that radio amateurs must keep detailed records of their radio connections, including date, time, frequencies used, power levels, other station details, and comments. Log books are not strictly required but can be used for competitions and tracking contacts made, and various computer programs and websites exist to help with logging.
This document provides information about electrical safety. It discusses topics like heart anatomy, the risks of electric current passing through the body, safety practices when working with electricity, components and risks of lead acid batteries and NiCad batteries, grid power supply safety features, the CE safety mark, isolation in power supplies, and safety considerations for antennas. The key risks discussed are electric shock from current passing through the body, explosion risks from overcharging batteries, and heating and static electricity risks from antennas. Safety practices emphasized include staying dry, avoiding electricity through the heart, discharging capacitors before repairing equipment, adding acid to water slowly, and being aware of power lines near antennas.
This document provides an introduction to MATLAB by covering key topics like the command window, inputs and outputs, M files, and basic programming structures in MATLAB such as conditionals and loops. Some key points covered include how to enter and manipulate matrices in the command window, perform basic math operations, load and save data, plot graphs, write M files to organize commands and create functions, and use conditional statements and loops in M files.
Radio interference can come from various sources like transmitting equipment, faulty electronic devices, and the sun. It affects electronic circuits and can be narrowband or broadband. International organizations set standards to prevent interference and ensure emissions and immunity limits are met. Some techniques to prevent interference include using filters, baluns, RF chokes, Faraday cages, properly installed cables, and ensuring an effective electrical earth system.
This document discusses regulations related to emergencies and amateur radio. It provides an overview of emergency call signs and frequencies that are constantly monitored for emergencies at sea, in the air, and on amateur radio. The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) regulates telecommunications globally and their Radio Regulations contain four volumes that establish protocols for amateur radio operations and frequencies. The European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) also sets regulations for amateur radio licenses and examinations in Europe.
This document discusses radio frequencies and provides techniques for memorizing them. It explains that different radio bands are used for different purposes like TV, military, amateur radio, ships, and aircraft to minimize interference. It then gives examples of mnemonic phrases to remember numbers and letters that are used in radio frequencies, such as "010 memorizer" and "Atom elk atomic eve". Finally, it provides a short test of radio call signs.
