It also talks about Online Gender Based Violence , this is gender based violence that manifests in the Digital Space and Online world ie; phishing, non-consensual sharing, harrassment. This article explains why Privacy rights are essential in the modern world.
We live in an always connected, digital age. Digitalization has accelerated exponentially, and companies’ survival will depend on their ability to reshape their future. Those who are born after 1980 are called digital natives. Digital natives are assumed to be inherently technology savvy. They have some peculiar characteristics which have attracted the attention of researchers. This paper presents some of those characteristics or personality traits. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Uwakwe C.

Running Head: CYBER SECURITY IN AFRICA 1
CYBER SECURITY IN AFRICA 2
Cyber Security in Africa
African countries have lagged behind in the implementation and development of internet connectivity and cyber security measures. Being developing nations, most of the African states have not been able to fully enhance and promote internet connectivity, preferring to put their priorities on providing other basic and necessary social amenities to their people. The governments have, however, ensured that there is provision of telecommunication networks across most parts of the continent, and internet service providers would often ride upon these networks for provision of their services to the people.
It is estimated that almost 170 million people across the continent have at least a mobile phone. Internet penetration in Africa has however remained at 18%, which is way lower than the global average connectivity of 30%. It is estimated that only 1 household out of 10 households is connected to the internet. However, the number of connected internet users in Africa has grown sevenfold since 2000 to 2012. This progress can be attributed to the changes in government policy and regulations.
The cyber space in Africa has been growing at a snail speed compares to other regions due to factors such as the lack of relevant skills and knowledge that would have enabled African nations to develop software’s and applications. There are few professionals in the internet and technology sectors, and thus this limits the ability of African countries to come up with their own internet applications. The introduction of internet in Africa saw some already established mobile telephone countries monopolize the internet service delivery sector. Most of the upcoming and newly-established companies which have tried to venture into the sector have had no space for development. This has greatly limited the internet technological investment, which would have helped the internet access to many people.
In Africa, internet penetration has been greatly experienced in the major urban centers, where the relevant infrastructure has been put in place. The poor transport and communication networks in the rural areas has inhibited the investment into the internet sector by both the private and even governmental organizations. The uneven settlement patterns across the continent also discourages internet and communication investment in the rural areas, given that most of the people residing in the rural areas are not stable financially, and they would thus have to put food at the table at the expense of the internet, which is like a luxury and not a necessity to them. Their financial status also does not allow them to possess the internet-enabled mobile phones, tablets and laptops. The well-to-do people often reside in the major urban centers. The.

Hello everyone!
Do you know that so many marriages are in distress as a result of the inability to manage the reality of the blessing of a wife with dreams?
I want to remind us that very many people who tell you "it is well" are losing sanity and having a serious decline in mental health as a result of the frustration that comes with not being able to achieve your dream or live a meaningful life.
So many women are living in regret and pain because they are married to men who would do everything possible to keep them from being the best they can be.
So many men too are having horrible experiences from their wives because of her inability to manage the psychological and emotional realities of chasing a dream & growing in life.
WE CAN'T KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE PROBLEMS ALONE AND BLAMING ONE ANOTHER.
JOIN US ON THE 12TH OF AUGUST! 1pm WAT 🔥 🔥 🔥
Let's reason together, let's understand what we each need and learn how to strike this balance; so as to benefit from the powerful synergy God intended for us to create!
Got the pleasure of being invited to the day one / two of the #StartupWeekend were a total whirlwind.
Here, I was talking about the Business Model Canvas and why it matters!
Picture this – 40 groundbreaking ideas pitched in just 60 seconds each to a crazy room of about 80 people – we had everyone from seasoned founders to talented graduates from top Kenyan tech schools, and even Kenyans who've returned from abroad to test out their entrepreneurial skill sets, students, doctors, lawyers, etc etc.
The ideas they came up with? Among the best in my many years of participating in Startup Weekends. Folks were thinking big, tackling everything from blood donation to agritech, and mobility. There was even a proposal that felt straight out of an Elon Musk black mirror brainstorm, all about storing memories for the future. Seriously impressive stuff!!
Everyone in the room voted for their favorite ideas. From there, they grouped up into teams of 3 to 5, forming bonds with their potential new cofounders. These freshly minted teams have just 2 days to work up their prototypes. To their benefit, we have had some industry experts on hand to offer their wisdom and support.
I totally believe in this edition, we shall see some of the founders making waves in the startup world in a few years. Keep an eye out for more updates, as we're gearing up for the final day where the top 13 teams will go head to head for the winner's title of the Techstars Startup Weekend 2023. The energy is high, chaotic, fast, and we can't wait to see what happens next…

Why are you on #linkedin? Seriously, why?
Who are you on #linkedin?
What are you offering on #linkedin
These three questions, explain the building blocks to setting up and exploring LinkedIn. 2 weeks ago I had the privilege to share an evening with an amazing group of facilitators from Taifa Teule Network.
Sharing foundational insights on how #facilitators of the Taifa Teule Network can use LinkedIn for networking.
One thing I always share:
- Don't be caught up in trying to appear valuable, you already are!
- Don't try to be appealing, be authentic!
I realize that what is of most importance is not how many likes and reposts what we share on LinkedIn matters but being able to engage (learn and teach each other something new), share experiences (no matter how young and unpopular what we do is), and connect. Simple!
All thanks to Emmanuel Misiati for providing me with a stage to engage with more than 76 energetic facilitators.
Kudos to all those who made it to the session.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
Â
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Â
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck

As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
Â
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
