Electromobility and Construction Machinery

Reno Filla

The search for energy efficient solutions goes on also for construction machinery, and hybrids are a given topic. This seminar looks at related research and pre-development at Volvo Construction Equipment and focuses on wheel loaders. In these machines, drive train and hydraulics are both equally powerful and compete for the limited engine torque. There is a large theoretic potential for the increase of energy efficiency, but to leverage this, a holistic approach is needed. The wheel loader is examined as a system with drive train and hydraulics as two parallel energy conversion systems that show a complex interaction with each other and the power source. Using a systematic design approach, several principle design solutions for hybridization can be found and are discussed.

Kameswara Rao Poranki

E-commerce has significantly impacted society in several ways. It has changed how people shop, providing convenience of shopping online 24/7 from anywhere. This has especially increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, making e-commerce essential for both customers and businesses. However, e-commerce also faces challenges like security, privacy, inability to physically examine products, and ensuring quality. Governments and businesses are working to address these challenges and maximize the benefits of e-commerce for customers and economic growth.

Enabling access to participation

Steve Vosloo

This document discusses the concept of participatory culture in developing countries. It argues that while access to information is important, the goal should be providing access to participation. Participation looks different in developing countries, where it is largely mobile-based due to differences in technology infrastructure. Participation can take many forms, from rich media creation to simple contributions through tools like Ushahidi. Even small acts of involvement, connectedness, and conversation, such as question-and-answer sessions over mobile messaging, can foster a sense of participation.

Christian Heller

The document discusses the evolution of technology and intelligence over the past 500,000 years, from early language to modern computing networks and the world wide web. It describes how Web 2.0 has enabled greater participation and new ways of sharing information. The growth of global supercomputing power through more connected human intelligence and improvements in artificial systems is also covered. Africa's opportunity to "leapfrog" older technologies and directly adopt newer, decentralized approaches is presented as a way for the continent to play a role in and benefit from this continued technological progress.

Open & Shut: Leadership in the Social World

Jordan Epp

This document discusses the current climate of social technologies and expectations for leadership. It notes major shifts from industrial to information age models and from systems-based to networked approaches. Open leadership is described as happening online and offline, focusing on participation, sharing, and building community. Skills for open leadership include technical proficiency, digital communication, content curation, and netiquette like transparency and authenticity. The concept of legitimate peripheral participation in online communities is also referenced.

Developing a (Digital) Strategy for Your Organisation

Charlotte Sexton

This presentation provides practical guidance on developing a (digital) strategy and is aimed at those leading change or managing digital programme delivery within museums or cultural organisations. It doesn’t really matter what you call it: digital strategy, digital engagement strategy, technical road map or just plain ‘strategy’, if your goal is to engage contemporary audiences with culture and heritage then ‘digital’ is going to be part of the mix. For museums, the great ones will be those designed around the way people live their lives now – and increasingly that means with some kind of techno gizmo in their hands. If you are going to rise to the challenge then you’re going to need a plan, and the will and skill to change old ways of working. This presentation will help you kick start the process.

E-Choupal is an initiative by ITC Ltd that provides farmers in rural India with access to information online through computers set up in rural "Choupals", or meeting places. This allows farmers to obtain real-time local and global information on weather, market prices, and best farming practices. Farmers can also purchase inputs and sell their products through e-Choupal. The program aims to improve farmers' livelihoods by enhancing productivity and market access while reducing costs. It has expanded to over 40,000 villages across 10 states in India, empowering 4 million farmers through its 6,500 e-Choupal centers.

Network leadership in an uncertain world

Robin Teigland

This document discusses network leadership in an uncertain world. It begins by outlining myths about networks and emphasizes that networks can be strategically developed. It then discusses exploring networks within organizations and avoiding "echo chambers". The document presents several scenarios for the future, including high and low technology convergence. It emphasizes the need for leaders to practice scenario thinking, challenge assumptions, experiment, and ensure access to diverse resources through networks. The overall message is that network leadership requires building relationships across networks, looking for signals from the periphery, and co-creating in an environment of uncertainty.

Canadian Spectrum Summit - 2017

Steve Song

This document discusses challenges and opportunities for wireless regulation in Africa. It notes that increased fibre optic infrastructure provides opportunities to offer competitive services. However, the pace of technological change often outpaces regulation. Spectrum auctions across Africa have faced issues, with reserves prices seen as too high and auctions withdrawn or stalled. Unlicensed spectrum and low-cost wireless networks could help expand access. Television white spaces and dynamic spectrum sharing represent opportunities to reuse fallow spectrum. Regulators need diverse strategies including unlicensed use, dynamic spectrum, and spectrum set-asides.

The Changing Face of Access

Steve Song

This document discusses opportunities for increasing access to connectivity through technological changes and regulatory reforms. It notes that the growth of undersea fibre has enabled global competitive services and that unlicensed spectrum and new wireless technologies provide opportunities. However, spectrum auctions have faced challenges in many countries. The document argues that embracing diverse regulatory models, open telecom data, and monitoring spectrum use can help reduce risk, promote innovation, and future-proof regulation.

Fibre To The Continent

Steve Song

The document discusses the growth of undersea fibre optic networks connecting Africa to the rest of the world, and how this catalyzed terrestrial fibre buildouts across Africa beginning in 2009. It notes that existing fibre maps often lack detail, accuracy, or transparency. The document advocates for more open access to comprehensive and up-to-date fibre maps in order to prevent duplication of efforts, promote further investment, and identify coverage gaps. It also discusses challenges around regulating technologies that are developing more rapidly than regulations can keep pace with.

How connectedness changes everything including Knowledge Management

Steve Song

The document discusses how connectivity and conversation are changing how information and knowledge are shared. As more people connect online through blogs, social media, and sharing content, it increases opportunities for conversation. Quantity and connectivity changes things qualitatively - more connections allow for new types of information sharing and the spread of ideas in complex, decentralized networks like small worlds. The key ideas are that conversation is becoming king as people share and discuss information online, and that intelligent sharing of our insights through online platforms will become increasingly common and expected.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters

Safe Software

Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they? Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation.
