Mobile telecommunications in developing countries part 2
Mobile phone ownership has exploded in developing countries like Cameroon, Nigeria, and Uganda. 92% of small business owners in coverage areas own and use mobile phones daily. Mobiles have provided both incremental benefits like increased productivity and transformational benefits like new ways to access banking and money transfers. 73% of micro-entrepreneurs save 3 hours of business time daily using mobiles, and 72% reported increased profits. However, more research is still needed to precisely quantify the economic impact of mobile phones on small businesses and growth.
Guy Giles Looking Local Beyond 2010 SMART Delivery
The document discusses the Looking Local initiative, which provides digital public services and information to residents via multiple channels. It was originally funded by the government but is now run by Kirklees Council. The initiative targets digitally excluded groups like the elderly, disabled, and those in socioeconomic groups C2DE. Research found most residents believe the technology should be used to improve services and the majority would use Looking Local. Mobile phones are now the most common technology even for those who previously lacked computer/internet access. The initiative aims to meet residents on their preferred devices, including via digital TV, mobile phones, and apps.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for Rural Development
This document discusses information and communication technologies (ICT) for rural development, specifically focusing on rural ICT center programs. It notes that while cybercafes are common in urban areas, they are not financially viable in rural areas due to issues like high connectivity costs and low population density. As a result, governments have established telecenters modeled after cybercafes to bring ICT access to underserved rural communities. The document examines the challenges rural ICT centers face in achieving sustainability and impact, and identifies some best practices of successful programs, such as focusing on skills development training. It concludes that rural ICT centers can help advance development goals if viewed as technology hubs that promote digital inclusion and skills learning.
Indigo's ICT and Agricultural Projects
The Indigo Trust seeks to connect African smallholder farmers to innovative mobile and internet technologies to spark agricultural development opportunities and reduce poverty. It funds several projects that provide farmers customized information via SMS on topics like dairy cattle management, market prices and weather, and that connect farmers to buyers. Evidence shows ICT can increase agricultural productivity and crop yields. Examples of successful ICT projects include a mobile insurance program for small plots in Africa and a precision farming app in development in Egypt.
Task 1.3
Around 22,800 people are employed in the UK radio industry, with 25% working for large companies of over 20 employees. While most of the workforce is highly educated, with two-thirds having a degree, there is no direct entry route and 22% hold no qualifications. Experience, such as through volunteer work, is valued, and roles include producing, production, journalism, and support functions like finance. The radio industry is undergoing a digital transition but generally has no problem filling vacancies, though there is concern about a shortage of radio engineers.

This document discusses closing the gender digital divide in mobile phone access and usage in Nigeria. It identifies some key issues including that only 52 million phones are in use in Nigeria, with women having much lower access due to factors like literacy levels, language barriers, culture, media literacy, and poverty. Challenges to closing the gap are outlined as poverty, culture, ownership barriers, low literacy, and lack of connectivity in rural areas. However, opportunities exist through text message help lines, SMS campaigns on issues like violence against women, mobile banking, and information services for farmers. The document proposes a national helpline for gender violence, mobile access training, and strategic projects to disseminate information to women via

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths Forward
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

Photometric and spectroscopic followup with NIRCam and NIRSpec, respectively, confirm the redshift and yield UV-NIR light-curve, NIR color, and spectroscopic information all consistent with a Type Ia classification. Despite its classification as a likely SN Ia, SN 2023adsy is both fairly red (

JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDS
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
