The document discusses how Korea achieved the highest secondary education rate in the world. It provides historical context on Korea's emphasis on education dating back to Confucian influences that valued scholarship. Private schools emerged in the early 20th century as part of the independence movement against Japanese occupation. After World War 2 and the Korean War, the government prioritized education to aid economic recovery and development, establishing policies like free public education to boost attainment rates which ultimately led Korea to having the highest secondary education completion rate globally.
The volume of scholarly literature is growing rapidly and mega-journals become more and more mainstream. Scholars therefore need (new) filters to select those articles most relevant for their work. Once published, the impact of their contribution to science is mostly assessed on the basis of out-of-date mechanisms such as the impact factor. However, the actual influence of their contribution on the journal's performance will only be visible for after another 2-3 years. At the same time, many funding bodies and universities still judge scholarly performance on the average impact factor of the journal they published in. A value they may not even have attributed to as a fraction of articles are never cited, ranging from only a few to up to 80%.
A more accurate evaluation of scholarly performance would be to judge their work on a article level. Here metrics such as citations, usage, and those that track impact outside the academy, impact of influential but uncited work, and impact from sources that aren’t peer-reviewed - other important value metrics beyond the strength of a journal. Alternative metrics are still in their early stages; many questions are unanswered. But given the rapid evolution of scholarly communication, we will soon know their impact on the impact factor.

The document summarizes cleantech adoption in China and the United States across three sectors: solar, smart grid, and transportation. It finds that China dominates solar manufacturing and will surpass the US in installed solar capacity. The US leads in smart meters but China's greater investment in energy storage will allow it to lead that market. While electric vehicles will see limited adoption, China will dominate e-bikes and micro-hybrid vehicles due to larger production and use of supportive policies. Overall, the document concludes China's scale and policies have it positioned to accelerate cleantech growth over the US.

Mapping the Brand Graph: a study of the O2 audience on Twitter [UPDATED]Pulsar Platform
The objective of the O2 Brand Graph pilot was to mine social media data in a way that would allow us to connect it to audience studies.
This presentation is an initial exploration of how we can use social media to augment a segmentation model with real-time data. Instead of tracking contents by keywords (“horizontal” tracking – any content mentioning specific keywords and keyphrases), we looked into mining social media contents and behaviours by audiences (“vertical” tracking – any content generated from a set of sources, regardless of the features of the content).

It discusses how online publishing requires a different pricing model than print due to varying usage levels across institutions. Tier pricing aims to reduce costs for smaller institutions but poses challenges, such as disproportionately increasing prices for top institutions or requiring complex administration. Transparency is important to ensure tier pricing is not used simply to increase overall revenue. Overall, tier pricing systems must balance fairness across institution sizes with maintaining affordability.
All of us like to be happy, yet how many of us prioritize work based on happiness? Consider the people who buy, use, sell or make your product/service. Are you focused on making all of them happy?
When I reflect on a large Agile eLearning deal my company did with our biggest client between 2009-2010, it’s clear that we over-prioritized the happiness of some individuals while under-prioritizing the happiness of others. The smaller deals we are now doing with this same client in 2011 reveal the importance of prioritizing happiness across the entire community of people involved with our product.
Prioritizing happiness has helped us expand our focus and discover work that really matters. In this talk, I’ll describe how prioritizing happiness can have a profound impact on your process, your people and your bottom line.
1) A new study by Professor Wang estimates China's actual per capita disposable income in 2008 was 90% higher than official figures, with hidden income equivalent to 30% of GDP.
2) The study, which surveyed over 4,000 urban households, found much higher incomes especially for wealthier groups, indicating official data understates incomes.
3) Over 80% of estimated hidden income was concentrated among the top 20% of households, suggesting a more unequal distribution of wealth in China than reported.
