It provides examples of Kenyan health professionals identified in the US and their occupations. The document suggests this data could help target outreach efforts and encourage returning professionals to countries in Africa.
Text mining names in ‘Big Data’ to recognize migration trendsElian CARSENAT
This document summarizes a presentation about using name recognition software to analyze "big data" and recognize trends in Turkish migration. The software is able to accurately classify names by linguistic characteristics and likely origin. It has been tested on datasets of Olympic athletes and inventors with over 80% accuracy. The software can be used to map diasporas on social media, analyze gender breakdowns and nationalities, and help investment agencies identify potential business contacts overseas with family or cultural ties to their country. While name alone does not determine nationality or residence, the software provides a useful statistical tool for exploring demographic trends and directions for further research.

Experts provided their views on the future of social media in 2020:
1) Social media will become more fragmented with niche players taking specific approaches to privacy, data usage, and community building. Advertising will play a smaller role and alternative business models will emerge.
2) Wearable technology will become important and people will interact less through keyboards. Social media will focus more on communication than marketing.
3) Existing social media platforms will need to adapt to mobile and niche audiences or decline. Successful platforms will provide community spaces rather than just commercial messages. Privacy issues remain a concern if data usage and sales are not reformed.

Société - L'intérêt du Big Data pour la réduction des inégalités sur un territoire
Selon la finalité qu'on se donne, le 'Big Data' peut aussi bien aider à mesurer et réduire les inégalités à travers le monde, qu'il pourrait au contraire les creuser. Nous présenterons à travers quelques cas comment l'analyse du Big Data peut aider à activer un réseau d'expatriés, une Diaspora et participer au développement économique et scientifique d'un pays, d'une région.
Deux exemple: le cas d'un pays de l'UE en cours de rattrapage (Lituanie); le cas d'un pays en voie de développement. Nous aborderons le principe de géodémographie, réduction des inégalités, attractivité des investissements directs, 'remittances', et l'idée de renforcer les liens d'un pays avec sa Diaspora.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

his career at JP Morgan in Paris in 1997. He later worked as
consultant and managed business & IT projects in London, Paris,
Moscow and Shanghai.
In 2012, Elian created NamSor, a piece of sociolinguistics software to
mine the 'Big Data' and better understand international flows of
money, ideas and people. NamSor helps answer the perennial
question all countries ask about their diasporas – who are they,
where are they and what are they doing.
NamSor has been used to attract Foreign Direct Investments (FDI), to
build-up international collaboration within scientific communities, to
attract and facilitate Diaspora investment in Start-ups...
as well as other use cases.

“Analysts uncovered amazing patterns in the way scientists’ names correlate with whom they publish, and who
they cite in their papers - not just in case of a particular country, but globally. Tania Vichnevskaia of the French
National Institute for Health (INSERM) presented the paper ‘Applying onomastics to scientometrics‘ at IREG
International symposium 2015 organised by University of Maribor and Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The
paper was prepared jointly with NamSor, a private start-up company specialized in mapping international
Diasporas.”

20. originating FDI leads
20
NamSor™ announces FDI Magnet, a new offering for Investment Promotion Agencies.
What is the Idea behind it: “ As recently as 1986 Ireland was one of the poorest countries in the European
Union (EU), but today it is one of the richest. The engine of this new Irish prosperity has been Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI). [Between 1986 and 2002], the Irish have done almost everything right. They have
attracted huge amounts of money from America – due largely to a century of personal and familial ties –
and they have used this money to build factories ”.
A successful approach which Milda Darguzaite, the Managing Director of Invest Lithuania, considers relevant
for her own country. With three million people living in Lithuania and nearly one million people of Lithuanian
origin living abroad, there is a good many personal and familial ties to be leveraged to attract new
investment projects to the country. NamSor name recognition software helped discover those ties.
Recognizing names and their origin in global professional databases allows Investment Promotion Agencies
to identify potentially interesting high profile contacts in different countries / industrial sectors and reach out
to them. Another method to accelerate the origination of new leads is to better understand and leverage
the existing network of foreign businessmen in the country itself.
NamSor™ filters data from millions of meaningless elements to a few dozen actionable names.
Domas Girtavicius, a Senior consultant at Invest Lithuania, said "we were impressed by the accuracy of the
name recognition software: it reliably predicts the country of origin and the number of false positives is fully
manageable". Elian Carsenat, the founder of NamSor™, said "searching for names in the Big Data is like
seeking a gold needle in a haystack: doable once the right tool exists".

‘Invest in Ireland’ are the Irish themselves
