Accountants in practice and industry need to understand the implications of the transition to FRS 102 now in order to determine when and how they need to start preparing; waiting until preparing first year FRS 102 accounts may be too late.
This presentations looks at the opportunities, as well as highlighting potential pitfalls of the journey through transition.
With the rise of social media (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn etc.) many nonprofits are exploring new ways of fundraising, advocating, and conducting outreach online. This workshop will help participants understand how effective multi-channel online communications work, using examples from health industry nonprofits and more. Our emphasis won't be on technical 'how tos', but rather strategies, with particular emphasis on the question of return on investment from the nonprofit CEO's point of view. We'll also talk about staff capacity, social media policies, the CEO's role in social media, time, and budgeting.
Web Summit is one of the biggest business and technology events on the calendar this year. If you’re flying into Ireland for the event, we’ve put together a list of 10 things you must do while in Dublin.
Does the Internet harm children's health? A critical review of the evidenceMonica Bulger
Presentation delivered at MeCCSA 2013 by Dr. Vera Slavtcheva-Petkova, highlighting findings of a paper co-authored with Dr. Monica Bulger and Dr. Victoria Nash of the Oxford Internet Institute
Abstract: Moral panics about the Internet’s “harmful effects” have been ongoing in current years, recently exacerbated by a UK parliamentary inquiry into online child protection. Is there scientific evidence supporting these fears? Does the Internet harm children and especially their health? This paper will present the findings from a narrative review of more than 300 journal articles discussing the scale and scope of online harms that young people experience. We will first present the three main types of harms identified in the literature: health-related harms, sex-related harms and cyber-bullying. Then the paper will focus in more detail on the evidence about health-related harms incurred as a result of online risks. We not only identify the kinds of health harms discussed in the literature – mainly related to pro-eating disorder websites, self-injury websites and problematic Internet use – but we also investigate whether and how the researchers operationalize harm. We also scrutinize the research methods used in the studies, which tend to differ significantly among the disciplines studied.

ASDA’A Burson-Marsteller, the Middle East’s leading public relations consultancy, today released the seventh edition of The Arab Youth Survey. This annual initiative provides reliable data and insights into the attitudes and aspirations of the region’s 200 million-strong youth population. International polling firm Penn Schoen Berland (PSB) conducted 3,500 face-to-face interviews, the largest survey to date, with exclusively Arab national men and women aged 18-24 in the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain; Iraq, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Palestine, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria and Yemen. The interviews were conducted from January 20 to February 12, 2015.
Participants were interviewed in-depth about subjects ranging from the political to the personal. Topics explored included their concerns and aspirations, their views on the economy and the impact of the Arab Spring, their media consumption habits, attitudes towards traditional values and the people who influence them. Findings from this year’s survey reveal opinions on economy and culture, two of the biggest obstacles facing the Arab region, and uncertainty whether democracy could ever work in the Middle East.
The aim of this annual survey is to present evidence-based insights into the attitudes of Arab youth, providing public and private sector organizations with data and analysis to inform their decision-making and policy formation.
