Background
Coordinators and key stakeholders from Cherepovets, Dimitrovgrad, Izhevsk and
Stavropol are being were convened in this third training session of the We Choose Life
Youth Against HIV AIDS Project to explore ways in which they can develop campaigns
that will address identified needs and gaps in current HIV /AIDS communications,
enhance HIV/AIDS literacy amongst key target groups, especially youth; “engage the
unengaged”; overcome obstacles and strengthen the reach and impact of current
prevention and treatment services.
This campaign development workshop builds on the Stakeholder and Youth Volunteer
Network activities to date; in particular the youth behavioural surveys.
The workshop will serve to help each of the cities finalise campaign plans and will utilize
data collected by each city prior to the meeting see campaign development
planning questions below. The three day workshop will be include sessions on
communications as a determinant of health, formative communication research, issue
framing, an advocacy framework , practical campaign planning exercises, issues
related to social marketing, working with media, media advocacy, and campaign
evaluation. There will be both lectures, group work and discussion sessions.
Workshop Objectives
The overall aim of the project is to reduce the disease burden related to HIV/AIDS
amongst youth in participating cities.
The key objective of the workshop is to assist each city stakeholder team to agree and
finalise plans for a youth focused HIV/AIDS communication campaign that will raise
awareness and stimulate healthy behaviors, choices and policies.
As a secondary benefit of this process the workshop aims to enhance participants’
capacities in health communications, communication related research, advocacy,
social marketing as well as working with media.
It is further anticipated that the skills developed for this specific project should be
generalisable to other key public health communication challenges.
Pre-workshop activities- Some questions to answer
Each city is asked to carry out a series of tasks that is aimed at collecting data needed
for effective campaign planning. Reach city will customize their own campaign plans
aimed at enhancing HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment information, education and
public awareness (and supportive policies) by stimulating demand for information and
engaging and strengthening the capacity of health leaders, people living with
HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and information mediators, e.g. health professionals, media, policy
spokespeople, NGO advocates, and private sector advertisers, to respond effectively.

Abstract:
Public Relations have been an integral part of human communications, since time immoral. It developed as an art and science in the 20th century. Today, there is no sector, whether it be Government, Private or NGOs, who do edgy in their operations. The ever escalating cost of advertising too has contributed to the significant growth of this industry.
While Public Relations, known by other sophisticated names such as advocacy, spin doctor, spin in-spin out etc, has immensely contributed towards highlighting socio-cultural issues, development affairs, exploring the innovative inventions, maintaining and harnessing the organization goodwill in the market. As far as grassroots innovators are concerns they do have knowledge abundance, and some want to use this knowledge to try things out. Public Relations is the tool to promote and explore those knowledge abundance across the human being.
The use of ICTs to facilitate engagement and active citizenship between young...Daniella Ben-Attar
This review considers how ICTs are being used to engage young people from developed and developing countries around issues of poverty and injustice. Drawing on 60 case studies, the document illustrates how ICTs are being used to create new opportunities for youth engagement programming, while exposing the challenges that need to be addressed if such programs are to succeed.
PreambleThe world health organization (WHO) and UNESCO promoting.pdfagmobiles
Preamble
The world health organization (WHO) and UNESCO promoting socio-economic development in
third-world countries have created a program called Providing The New Hope to Africa through
IT. This program seeks to offer low-level middle-income countries in Africa financial support of
$2 billion dollars in resolving health and educational challenges in the region. In order to have
granular control of the monies to be disbursed, they have nominated several countries in Africa
to benefit from which Ghana is part. To understand the various challenges within each region,
they have set up a PMO that is requesting young talented individuals to send their proposals on
either a challenge in education, health, or agric in the country that they believe can be resolved
through the use of information technology.
It must be however noted that the programs region manager when interviewed on Al Jazeera,
bemoaned that some countries in Africa, have policy-based problems, thus these policies must be
addressed rather than focusing on technology resolutions. This however as reported by Kal
Lumpur, the social development journalist, in her words is in contradiction to the theme of the
UNESCO-WHO program. And it may have implications on which country benefits from the
funds.
Thomas Lucas, the Chief Information Officer of UNESCO, Belgium thinks that technology is
still the only Africa that can eradicate most of their challenges when asked during the football
march between Manchester United and Dortmund, last week. He further wished all the young
Africans who had intentions of submitting their applications a goodluck.
This year, UNESCO and WHO have defined a unified objective under the theme: Challenging
the challenging times through technology.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
