Examples are given of how this approach has been implemented in various K-12 subjects and grades in Hawaii schools.

Russia is conducting information operations alongside its conventional military operations in the war with Ukraine. These operations include psychological operations, cyber warfare, and disinformation campaigns using social media, telecommunications, mass media, and the internet. Russia views cyberspace as part of the broader information environment that must be controlled to gain information superiority. It has reorganized its cyber units into information operations forces capable of supporting information activities through cyberspace, and incorporated hacktivist groups to augment its technical capabilities and conduct influence operations. Russia's operations involve initial network penetration, data-deleting malware attacks, DDoS attacks, website defacement, and disinformation targeting Russian, Ukrainian, European, and American audiences.
Modern digital devices and software enable widespread and intrusive surveillance. Spyware like Pegasus can access targets' devices without their knowledge, extracting personal data, communications, location information and more. This level of covert surveillance threatens human rights and democratic institutions by discouraging political participation and expression, and manipulating elections through strategic leaks or disinformation. While governments claim spyware protects national security, its broad use against journalists, activists and officials is an overreach that should be limited to legitimate defense purposes.
- In 2007, Russia and Estonia engaged in what is considered the first ever cyber war between two nations.
- The conflict arose after Estonia removed a Soviet-era statue, angering Russia. In response, Russia launched a series of cyber attacks against Estonian infrastructure over several weeks.
- The attacks targeted government, banking, and media websites, effectively shutting down many of Estonia's online services and disrupting daily life and communication. While Russia denied direct involvement, the attacks highlighted the strategic threat that cyber warfare poses between nations.
Cyber warfare is an emerging reality that involves attacks in cyberspace to disrupt digital systems and infrastructure. Nation states and other groups now use cyber attacks for purposes like espionage, sabotage, and warfare. The document discusses the history and evolution of cyber warfare, from early hacker attacks to modern incidents like Stuxnet. It outlines the threats in cyberspace, from individual hackers to nation states. Various cyber weapons, tactics, and operations are also described. While increased cyber security could help, deterrence and international agreements may be needed to reduce cyber conflicts between nations in the future.
1. Cyberspace is a new operational field of confrontation analogous to physical spaces like land, sea and air that was created by extensive use of technology and the internet.
2. In cyberspace, threats can arise from individuals, groups or states and allow for attacks on critical information infrastructures without heavy resources or risking human lives.
3. Cyberspace provides an environment for covert warfare where attacks can be conducted anonymously and attribution is difficult, making it a low-cost strategic weapon that is difficult to defend against.
This document discusses information warfare as a new form of modern warfare that has expanded significantly with technological advances.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
