Estonian evolution to the cyber era. How a country managed to rule the digital world
ICARUS-Meeting #19 | 5th co:op partner meeting
29–31 May 2017, The National Archives of Estonia, Nooruse 3, Tartu, Estonia
Estonia has become a leader in digital transformation and ranks highly in many indices of digital development. Some key aspects that have contributed to this include its highly developed digital infrastructure and online public services, such as its X-Road data exchange layer and electronic ID system. Estonia also has a strong startup ecosystem and is a pioneer in using blockchain technology for government record-keeping and data integrity. Going forward, Estonia aims to further develop artificial intelligence applications in the public sector and promote industry digitization, with a focus on simplifying life events for citizens through invisible, seamless digital services.
The document summarizes the TNW Ecosystem Couch Conference 2020 report. It discusses speakers from various government and private organizations and highlights topical issues around collaboration between startups and governments in 2020. Key topics included supporting underrepresented founders, leveraging technology to address COVID-19, investing in green tech, and challenges around remote work and talent pipelines.
This document discusses how cloud computing and IT adoption in emerging markets will change global e-business and e-government. It summarizes the experience of Denmark in implementing electronic invoicing for government transactions, which initially failed when companies were forced to comply but later succeeded when incentives were offered and lightweight solutions were built. It argues that future IT adoption will be driven by emerging markets and constrained resources, so solutions need to be engineered within users' capabilities, not highest technical standards. Cloud computing may enable this by providing affordable access to computing resources on a global scale.
Estonia has become a leader in digital transformation and establishing an e-government. Some key points:
- Estonia was the first country to make internet access a legal right and has over 99% of government services available online.
- They have implemented blockchain technology for several national registries to ensure data integrity since 2012.
- The country's electronic ID system has been in place for 15 years and is used by over 98% of citizens for accessing e-services and digital signatures.
- Estonia also offers e-Residency to any individual globally, providing access to Estonian e-services and the ability to establish an EU-based business online. Over 35,000 e-

This document discusses a joint initiative between the OECD and EU to establish Digital Transformation Academies for countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The initiative is principally financed by the EU. It provides biographies for two people, Taavi Linnamäe and Liina Notta, who have extensive experience in digital transformation and Estonia's development as a digital society. The agenda outlines plans over the next few days, including entering Estonia to learn about its digital services and societal empowerment through technology.
Estonia has successfully digitized its society through establishing key digital infrastructure and policies. It has achieved high rates of internet usage (90% of the population) and computer ownership. Through its digital ID card system, residents can access over 2,375 e-services online, saving significant time and resources. The digital ID system is underpinned by a secure authentication process and distributed data exchange layer called X-Road. This digital ecosystem has supported Estonia's strong economic growth and global competitiveness in digital government services.
The document provides an overview of Estonia's digital society, known as e-Estonia. It discusses how Estonia has created a digital infrastructure and environment that allows citizens to access a wide range of government services online. Key aspects of Estonia's digital foundation include electronic IDs that provide secure online access, the X-Road system that connects databases, and a state portal that serves as a one-stop shop for e-services. Examples are given of how e-Estonia allows citizens to vote online, file taxes electronically, and access health and education services digitally. The digital infrastructure is praised as providing transparency, convenience, and helping to drive business and economic growth.
Estonia is planning to become the first truly digitized administration in the world. This deck provides the background to why and how we plan to do this. The vision is to grow our e-government consumer base from one million to 10 million by issuing virtual residencies backed up by a robust and widely adopted public key infrastructure.
Estonia has developed its digital infrastructure and services extensively, becoming known as "e-Estonia". It launched its e-Residency program in 2014, which now has over 40,000 members from 155 countries. The program allows digital nomads to remotely start and run EU-based companies online through Estonia's digital services. This provides benefits like not needing to travel for business administration, lower costs than managing a company from one's home country, and clarity on tax residency status. Estonia is also planning a digital nomad visa that would allow remote workers to stay and travel in Estonia and the EU for extended periods.
1) The document discusses e-government and e-democracy best practices from Austria, including high online availability of government services and sophistication of online services.
2) It outlines Austria's efforts to promote cooperation across different levels of government through the Federal ICT strategy and platforms like Digital Austria.
3) Key initiatives discussed include the eGovernment Act, central registers, electronic delivery, open source eGovernment modules, and platforms to improve access to information and participation.
This document discusses challenges and opportunities for digital government services. It summarizes examples from Denmark, Estonia, Europe, and other places that show how digital services can save money, increase efficiency and productivity, and improve access and trust in government. Key strategies that have worked include digital identity and signatures, reducing administrative burden, open data initiatives, and ensuring services are user-friendly. Cooperation and follow-up are essential to realize benefits and achieve goals.
The document provides an overview of Estonia's ICT environment and digital society achievements, including near universal broadband internet access, widespread use of electronic ID cards, digital signatures, and e-services. It notes Estonia's strategic location and membership in the EU and other international organizations. Enterprise Estonia is introduced as promoting business, innovation, and foreign investment. Examples are given of international companies using Estonia as a production and distribution hub.
Estonia has developed an innovative digital society where almost all government services are available online. This includes electronic IDs for citizens and a system called X-Road that allows different government databases to securely communicate and share information. Estonia also offers e-Residency, which provides non-Estonians digital identities and access to start EU-based companies completely online. There are over 27,000 e-Residency cardholders from 143 countries who use it for digital nomadism, EU market access, and other purposes. The program aims to grow Estonia's "digital nation" by incentivizing economic activity and network effects through a proposed "estcoin" cryptocurrency.

Startup estonia, the ground where future walks onSmartCap
Estonia has transformed from a technologically lagging nation in the early 1990s to having the most highly developed e-government system in the world today. Key developments include establishing the e-Tax Board in 2000, rolling out various e-services over the following decades such as e-voting, mobile ID, and e-health records. In 2014, Estonia became the first country to offer e-residency, allowing entrepreneurs globally to remotely start and manage Estonian businesses online. The document predicts that by 2020, Estonia will be a trendsetting example of how e-solutions can improve citizens' lives, with a highly developed public sector and fertile ecosystem to support emerging technologies.
The document outlines the program for an evening event hosted by Fintech Belgium. The program includes presentations on the data economy, protecting data as an asset, innovating with GDPR and AI risk assessments, human-data interaction, and a pitch by Data.be. It will conclude with a panel Q&A session and drinks. Fintech Belgium aims to promote dialogue with regulators, and organizes various events and meetups to connect stakeholders in the digital finance industry in Belgium.

This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

TOPIC OF DISCUSSION: CENTRIFUGATION SLIDESHARE.pptxshubhijain836
Centrifugation is a powerful technique used in laboratories to separate components of a heterogeneous mixture based on their density. This process utilizes centrifugal force to rapidly spin samples, causing denser particles to migrate outward more quickly than lighter ones. As a result, distinct layers form within the sample tube, allowing for easy isolation and purification of target substances.
Microbial interaction
Microorganisms interacts with each other and can be physically associated with another organisms in a variety of ways.
One organism can be located on the surface of another organism as an ectobiont or located within another organism as endobiont.
Microbial interaction may be positive such as mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism or may be negative such as parasitism, predation or competition
Types of microbial interaction
Positive interaction: mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism
Negative interaction: Ammensalism (antagonism), parasitism, predation, competition
I. Mutualism:
It is defined as the relationship in which each organism in interaction gets benefits from association. It is an obligatory relationship in which mutualist and host are metabolically dependent on each other.
Mutualistic relationship is very specific where one member of association cannot be replaced by another species.
Mutualism require close physical contact between interacting organisms.
Relationship of mutualism allows organisms to exist in habitat that could not occupied by either species alone.
Mutualistic relationship between organisms allows them to act as a single organism.
Examples of mutualism:
i. Lichens:
Lichens are excellent example of mutualism.
They are the association of specific fungi and certain genus of algae. In lichen, fungal partner is called mycobiont and algal partner is called
II. Syntrophism:
It is an association in which the growth of one organism either depends on or improved by the substrate provided by another organism.
In syntrophism both organism in association gets benefits.
Compound A
Utilized by population 1
Compound B
Utilized by population 2
Compound C
utilized by both Population 1+2
Products
In this theoretical example of syntrophism, population 1 is able to utilize and metabolize compound A, forming compound B but cannot metabolize beyond compound B without co-operation of population 2. Population 2is unable to utilize compound A but it can metabolize compound B forming compound C. Then both population 1 and 2 are able to carry out metabolic reaction which leads to formation of end product that neither population could produce alone.
Examples of syntrophism:
i. Methanogenic ecosystem in sludge digester
Methane produced by methanogenic bacteria depends upon interspecies hydrogen transfer by other fermentative bacteria.
Anaerobic fermentative bacteria generate CO2 and H2 utilizing carbohydrates which is then utilized by methanogenic bacteria (Methanobacter) to produce methane.
ii. Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis:
In the minimal media, Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis are able to grow together but not alone.
The synergistic relationship between E. faecalis and L. arobinosus occurs in which E. faecalis require folic acid

Candidate young stellar objects in the S-cluster: Kinematic analysis of a sub...Sérgio Sacani
Context. The observation of several L-band emission sources in the S cluster has led to a rich discussion of their nature. However, a definitive answer to the classification of the dusty objects requires an explanation for the detection of compact Doppler-shifted Brγ emission. The ionized hydrogen in combination with the observation of mid-infrared L-band continuum emission suggests that most of these sources are embedded in a dusty envelope. These embedded sources are part of the S-cluster, and their relationship to the S-stars is still under debate. To date, the question of the origin of these two populations has been vague, although all explanations favor migration processes for the individual cluster members. Aims. This work revisits the S-cluster and its dusty members orbiting the supermassive black hole SgrA* on bound Keplerian orbits from a kinematic perspective. The aim is to explore the Keplerian parameters for patterns that might imply a nonrandom distribution of the sample. Additionally, various analytical aspects are considered to address the nature of the dusty sources. Methods. Based on the photometric analysis, we estimated the individual H−K and K−L colors for the source sample and compared the results to known cluster members. The classification revealed a noticeable contrast between the S-stars and the dusty sources. To fit the flux-density distribution, we utilized the radiative transfer code HYPERION and implemented a young stellar object Class I model. We obtained the position angle from the Keplerian fit results; additionally, we analyzed the distribution of the inclinations and the longitudes of the ascending node. Results. The colors of the dusty sources suggest a stellar nature consistent with the spectral energy distribution in the near and midinfrared domains. Furthermore, the evaporation timescales of dusty and gaseous clumps in the vicinity of SgrA* are much shorter ( 2yr) than the epochs covered by the observations (≈15yr). In addition to the strong evidence for the stellar classification of the D-sources, we also find a clear disk-like pattern following the arrangements of S-stars proposed in the literature. Furthermore, we find a global intrinsic inclination for all dusty sources of 60 ± 20◦, implying a common formation process. Conclusions. The pattern of the dusty sources manifested in the distribution of the position angles, inclinations, and longitudes of the ascending node strongly suggests two different scenarios: the main-sequence stars and the dusty stellar S-cluster sources share a common formation history or migrated with a similar formation channel in the vicinity of SgrA*. Alternatively, the gravitational influence of SgrA* in combination with a massive perturber, such as a putative intermediate mass black hole in the IRS 13 cluster, forces the dusty objects and S-stars to follow a particular orbital arrangement.

JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDSSérgio Sacani
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.

Photometric and spectroscopic followup with NIRCam and NIRSpec, respectively, confirm the redshift and yield UV-NIR light-curve, NIR color, and spectroscopic information all consistent with a Type Ia classification. Despite its classification as a likely SN Ia, SN 2023adsy is both fairly red (

cosmological sample, we apply a fiducial standardization approach to SN 2023adsy and find that the SN 2023adsy luminosity distance measurement is in excellent agreement (

counterparts, and to confirm that standardized luminosities nevertheless remain constant with redshift.
