This study is part of the discussion on the impact of the adoption of information technologies (ICTs), particularly broadband, on poverty reduction. It identifies the opportunities and challenges regarding the impact of ICT adoption in rural communities with different levels of marginalization and connectivity: Las Margaritas in Catorce, San Luis Potosí; Santiago Nuyoo in Tlaxiaco, Oaxaca and Cruz del Palmar, Estancia de Canal and Los Torres in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato.
This project provides background information as the foundation for a more intensive study to be entitled ‘Genderstanding Mobile Telephony: Women, Men and their Use of the Cellular Phones in the Caribbean’ on usage of mobile telephony by men and women across varied age ranges in the region. The data suggests that telephony has undergone dramatic transitions over the
last five years. From an overwhelming presence of wire-line technology, the regional industry is now dominated by wireless subscribers getting service mainly through an interlocking network of cellular sites.
Revoda: Mobile Election App for Nigeria 2011 ElectionsEmeka Okoye
Revoda Mobile app is a mobile application for citizens to monitor the electoral process including election.
ReVoDa turns eligible voters into informal election observers, and allows monitoring organizations to draw conclusions about the legitimacy and accuracy of the elections
This study builds on the findings of an extensive quantitative survey, led by the Regional Dialogue on the Information Society and conducted in seven countries across the region including Jamaica. Among the findings was that 93.8% of Jamaicans surveyed were mobile users. The study also yielded rich results in relation to the use of mobile services among youth, finding that they had above average adoption levels of text messaging and other mobile services. In light of this data on Jamaica’s unique situation, this paper seeks to answer the questions: What value-added features and mobile services are young people using and what are they using them for? The goal was to determine how these services and features fulfill needs in their day-to-day lives covering various aspects such as security, social interaction, cost-saving, recreation and commercial activities.

The development of mobile money systems - Ernesto Flores-Roux, Judith Marisca...ACORN-REDECOM
In this paper we argue that mobile banking offers the opportunity to diminish the financial exclusion suffered by the poor by
offering access to credit and to savings which are key tools capable of transforming the livelihoods of the poor as well as the
efficiency of the market. However, mobile phones need a complete ecosystem that supports its application to a functioning
mobile banking service. The aim of this paper is to contribute to existing knowledge of mobile money across the value chain
by providing insight into the mechanisms of m-money, the value propositions within the business of m-banking and what is
preventing its swifter adoption and usage in the developed world. We develop a taxonomy of the key drivers of the business
model which provides insights for assessing the replicability of these models in other countries. We focus on models
developed in Kenya and the Philippines and explore what is lacking for a widespread adoption in Latin American countries,
such as Mexico, in order to observe what is preventing the creation and usage of m-money models for the BoP.

I'm the butcher would you like some BeEFMichele Orru
Recently a lot of focus in BeEF has been towards developing cool new features that help the day to day job of a social engineer, hereafter known as “The Butcher”.
We have been working very hard and secretively in the last months to widen our range of meaty goods within the Browser Exploitation Framework. During this talk we will release new modules and extensions specifically aimed toward automating the technical parts of a social engineer attack.
Employing techniques that are currently used is great, however “The Butcher” wishes to impart knowledge upon the attendees regarding new techniques that employ successful vectors targeting different browser within different security contexts.
After introducing people to the project who may have never heard of it before, we will be sharing information about real social engineering / penetration testing work that we have done recently and how we have advanced BeEF to achieve maximum coverage. This includes:
Website Cloning: but you haven’t seen it like this before!
Email Spoofing: mass email, easy.
Browser Control / Pwnage Automation: control BeEF programmatically using the RESTful API.
The Local On Demand Economy. Who's making money in local? Where's the money...Simon Greenman
I have been around local, a long long time, and there is a fundamental question that has been bothering me – who’ s making money in local? It used to be easy to answer this question - consumers used the newspapers and yellow pages to find local businesses. Margins were monopoly like and the newspapers and yellow pages were printing cash in the billions. Today consumers have a plethora of choices from Google to Yelp and increasingly verticalised mobile first on demand local services. Investors are pouring in. Thumbtack and Porch have raised $100M+; Handy $60M; Washio $17M; DogVacay $47M. And now Amazon, Google and newbies such as Curbside are trying to figure out the last mile of same day home delivery and pickup. Integrated local marketing agencies such as ReachLocal, Yodle, Web and Godaddy are fighting for the small local SMB marketing wallets. So who is really making the money today and who will make it tomorrow?
MX: Managing Experience | Day 2 - Designing Delivery: A Unified Approach to D...Adaptive Path
The digital service economy demands the ability to create coherent user experiences while achieving end-to-end agility and efficiency. The ability to deliver them together requires seamless system, process, and organizational design. Companies need a unified approach to design and operations that centers the entire organization around helping customers achieve their goals.
This workshop teaches participants how to connect user-centered design to the entire service delivery lifecycle. It introduces a holistic approach that interconnects marketing, design, development, and operations into a circular design/operations loop. Through talks, discussions, and guided exercises, participants learn how to improve both customer satisfaction and operational effectiveness by:
-designing for service, not just software
-minimizing latency and maximizing feedback throughout the organization
-designing for failure and operating to learn
-using operations as input to design
The report examines 4 sectors of ODE: Transportation, Real Estate, Labor, and Products. For each sector we’ve analyzed the potential to build huge businesses that leverage technology to reimagine how physical goods and services are delivered and how they will transform the way we live our lives and conduct business.

Mobile is NOT a Channel - Rob Griffin at IMMAP Summit, 2012Havas Media
Rob Griffin, EVP Product Development at Havas Digital, spoke recently at the IMMAP Summit & emphasised 3 clear takeaways-
1. Mobile is Now, and you must know that. Embrace a Mobile First approach to all marketing and communications efforts.
2. Accept the multiplicity of the device. Mobile devices are consumers' constant companions and central to their daily lives.
3. Activate and Engage! Take full advantage of mobile's greater capabilities to engage in real time.
Instead of thinking about mobile as an advertising channel, it is more important to view it as an access point for consumers- hence the urgent need for everything to be mobile enabled from the start. Mobile Internet user growth is projected to hit 3.5billion in 2015- how are you positioning your brand to take advantage of this revolution?
Research from mobile survey company, On Device Research, which was conducted directly on the mobile internet, has revealed a new internet audience.
More than 50% of Asian and African mobile internet users as well as more than 20% of users in developed markets, such as the UK and US do not use the internet on a PC.
The deck shows the profile of this new generation of internet users and is the first in a series of free quarterly reports.
The aim of this paper is to assess the mobile industry‟s current state and develop a business rationale and framework for sustainability that fits the unique needs of the mobile services industry. In addition, recommendations are given that can further the mobile industry‟s sustainability agenda.

Mobile for Development is a growing sector, with well over 1,000 live services now tracked by the GSMA across the developing world in verticals such as money, health, education and entrepreneurship. The problem is that while the sector has enjoyed continued growth in a number of services over the last 5-7 years, scale and sustainability have generally not been achieved. This work is designed to inform and add insight to help address challenges to mobile-enabled services that can help to facilitate service delivery in developing countries.
This research has been developed by Mobile for Development Intelligence with support from the Rockefeller Foundation. This being the interim report, we overview and provide analysis on the barriers to scalability, while at the final report stage we will provide further analysis and communicate recommendations to stakeholders on how these can be overcome.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Jana Research
Provides global organizations and marketing research companies with real-time data and feedback from consumers in
emerging markets across the world using mobile customizable surveys. Jana gives companies access to quick and cost-
effective solutions for taking the pulse of the “next billion consumers” in these growing economies.
Marketing & Promotions
Enables global brands to sell products with targeted, social offers. Marketers can promote products with mobile
marketing campaigns, such as mobile couponing, group buying, or contests. Jana has already crafted programs for top
global brands and organizations.
Loyalty Program
Offers brands valuable consumer insight post-purchase. Brands can re-engage with consumers to get product feedback
or drive loyalty with targeted offers.
9. JANA how it works
SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE (SMS)
Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM)
Subscriber Identity Module (SIM)
Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD)
A benefit of using USSD is that it creates a real-time connection during a USSD session. The connection
remains open, allowing a two-way exchange of a sequence of data, making it a more responsive service
than SMS. However, Jana uses USSD and SMS technologies along with the Internet in conjunction.
(USSD to “pull” information and SMS to “push” information)
To be more competitive they created a proprietary universal cellular messaging protocol
(UCMP) that has the capability to community up to five billion people at no cost to them. That sits at the
back-end of pre-paid billing systems from more than 100 mobile operators worldwide.
