SocialMedia at Nokia: From Broadcast to ConversationBSI
Nokia transitioned from a broadcast model of communication to a more conversational model using social media. It created guidelines for social media use, built an internal blog portal to aggregate blogs, and launched Nokia Conversations to participate in external conversations on platforms like YouTube, Flickr, and Share on Ovi. Nokia Conversations aimed to start and contribute to conversations in a casual tone to promote Nokia products and stories from internal blogs. The goal was to engage employees, increase productivity and knowledge sharing, and become a more interactive company.

This document discusses Cambridgeshire's experience with a community alcohol partnership (CAP) model to reduce underage alcohol abuse through collaboration between local businesses, schools, and other agencies. It provides details on the CAP approach used in St Neots, which focused on partnership, engagement, education, and enforcement. The St Neots pilot was effective in reducing litter, crime and the public's fear of crime while creating a safer and more pleasant community. The document advocates applying the CAP approach more broadly depending on individual community needs and priorities.
DIYA: An annotation pipeline for any genomics labAndrew Stewart
The document describes DIYA, an open source pipeline for annotating genomic sequences. The pipeline takes DNA contigs as input and produces a fully annotated sequence as output. It is modular and expandable. The pipeline includes steps for assembly, gene prediction, BLAST searches, and identification of non-coding RNA and tRNA. The software is designed to be decentralized and accessible for smaller genomics labs.

The document proposes a framework for consumer data privacy consisting of four key elements:
1. A Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights that establishes baseline privacy protections for consumers in 7 principles.
2. A multistakeholder process to develop enforceable codes of conduct that specify how the principles apply in different business contexts.
3. Continued FTC enforcement of privacy practices and incentives for companies to adopt codes of conduct.
4. Promoting international interoperability by increasing consistency between U.S. and foreign privacy frameworks through mutual recognition and enforcement cooperation.
The goals are to preserve consumer trust, promote innovation, and provide legal certainty through a flexible approach. Legislation would codify the Consumer Privacy
1) The document discusses how Operations Research can help companies optimize operations during economic downturns by focusing on both short-term cost cutting and long-term profitability.
2) It provides the example of how TNT Express used Operations Research models to optimize routes, utilization, and workforce balancing to cut costs while maintaining operations.
3) Additionally, Operations Research helped TNT Express and its customers identify opportunities to reorganize supply chains in innovative ways to adapt to unpredictable demand brought on by the economic downturn.

Pope John Paul II was known as the great father of peace and made trips to 117 countries during his papacy. He was the first non-Italian Pope in over 400 years, hailing from Poland. In 2005, he was shot by a Turkish gunman but survived the assassination attempt.
The document summarizes the results of a study that evaluated the research competitiveness and subject rankings of world-class universities and research institutions in 2009. Key findings include:
1) The US, UK, and Japan had the most universities ranked among the top 100, 200, and 300. Chinese universities were not ranked in the top 100 and only a few were ranked in the top 200-400.
2) Chinese research competitiveness improved but still lags behind other countries in areas like high-quality papers, Nobel Prizes, and research innovation/hot papers.
3) The study provides rankings of countries/regions and universities in different subjects to identify strengths and gaps, aiming to help universities strengthen top subjects
Joanna Motion heeft aan de wieg gestaan van de succesvolle implementatie van alumnirelaties en fondsenwerving door universiteiten in Groot Brittannië.

This document proposes a new ensemble model using SVM and SOM for personal credit scoring. The model uses an SVM classifier optimized with PSO and GA on normalized credit data. It then clusters the SVM label predictions using SOM. Experiments on German and Australian credit datasets show the proposed model achieves higher accuracy than other classification methods, demonstrating potential for personal credit scoring and other classification problems. Future work will focus on applying the model to online real-time classification.
This document summarizes the history and current state of the Japan Open Courseware Consortium (JOCW). It describes how JOCW was established in 2004 with top Japanese universities as founding members. JOCW started without external funding, relying on internal budgets. It has since expanded to include over 40 member institutions and provides over 2500 courses openly online in Japanese and English. Surveys show high public interest in accessing university lectures online. However, JOCW still faces challenges of low faculty engagement, traditional teaching styles, and intellectual property restrictions limiting further open content growth.
