ATHack! Inc. (pronounced “attack”) is a group of activists and technologists sourcing, funding, and launching new and innovative data-driven ideas to solve major social issues. Our inaugural hackathon is focused on developing tools and solutions that will support anti-human trafficking efforts. Viable projects that come out of our hackathons are invited to apply to our accelerator program in order to become sustainable operations that can help the community. We deeply encourage multi-cultural and multi-gendered diversity in attendance of our hackathons, seeking to grow entrepreneurship among women and people of color. Finding innovative solutions to community issues can only be done thoughtfully and holistically by engaging all aspects of our multi-cultural and multi-gendered community. Types of tech projects we look to catalyze include, but are not limited to: data centric models to fighting human trafficking, software/hardware tech solutions for poverty afflicted populations, resource solutions for the homeless, etc.

Making the invisible visible. Managing the digital footprint of development p...UNDP Eurasia
Thanks to new technologies, now accessible also in remote places, development work - and development workers - have an increasing digital footprint. Quite litterally, what was invisible can now become visible, with major implications for aid effectiveness, transparency and fundraising. Being able to manage such footprint effectively and analyse it to identify emerging trends is going to be a differentiating skill in the Development 2.0 world. This presentations illustrates some key concepts, examples and tools that development organisations can use ti analyse and manager their digital footprint.

This presentation was delivered during the Fundraising Online 2015 conference hosted by Resource Alliance on 1 May 2015. The latest megatrends in technology are discussed in the context of innovation theory with the intention to inspire and challenge nonprofits and specifically their fundraising teams to think about how the tools of today and skills of yesterday can deliver the solutions of resilience of tomorrow.
Govcamp.ca 2011 Talk:
Digital Volunteerism and Multi-Sector Collaboration
Melanie Gorka, Heather Leson, and Brian Chick will give an introduction to volunteer technical communities who have partnered with international NGO's, the UN, the World Bank and crisis response organizations and have leveraged the power of crowd-sourcing in times of need.
Thousands of digital volunteers have been utilized after disasters in Haiti and Chile, and more recently in New Zealand and Japan. Participants collaborate within a number of volunteer technical communities including: CrisisCommons (CrisisCamp), Crisismappers, Ushahidi and Random Hacks of Kindness (RHoK). We will present stories of global crowdsourcing, mapping and hackathons.
People and communities innovate for crisis response and global development through technology tools, expertise and problem solving. The various groups collaborate in an open environment to aggregate crisis data, map situational awareness, develop prototype tools, run hackathons for social good and train people on how to use technology tools in new and inspiring ways.. Each of us build partnerships with government organizations on how to use crowdsourcing and digital volunteerism in emergency preparedness.
This panel will discuss the future of digital volunteerism in Canada and around the world and the way in which these tools can be used for social good in collaboration with local, federal and provincial governments.
Our applications are continuously sending log messages about their state. We usually have many different solutions/applications, which means, that we have many different logs. And that is never good. In short, your data is mutating, evolving and growing, but traditional analyses are no long in step with these changes.
Business forte is all about sourcing, sculpting and analyzing this variety of data. The talk will focus on technology that makes this possible.

The presentatio offers an overview on big data in/for global development - i.e. how big data & data science are being developed in emerging and developing regions.
It is divided in three main sections:
(1) what is big data (as of today) & what is big data in/for development?
(2) Who is actually doing «big data for development»? Who are the main intrnational actors/stakeholders? What are main experiences?
(3) Why are we doing this? - i.e. are we doing this right? What are the main access, capacity / interpretation / ethical issues?
Citizen Science - What's policy got to do with it?Lea Shanley
Policy is an important but often overlooked component of citizen science projects. There are operational data policy considerations, such as user agreements, terms of use, and privacy. There are laws and regulations that may either encourage or inhibit government use of citizen science data. In the United States, these include the U.S. Paperwork Reduction Action, U.S. Data Quality Act, and U.S. Anti-Deficiency Act. And, there is the potential impact of citizen science on public policy objectives. This presentation will touch on each of these three areas.

This is a brief survey of data journalism, including the kinds of issues data journalists tackle, key challenges involved, and some examples of notable work.
Data journalism covers a broad range of activities. Some journalists construct databases from scratch. Others make detailed visualizations that illuminate hidden patterns. Using data, journalists can uncover new areas for potential stories, discover systemic patterns, verify claims, and address issues with greater transparency and detail.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
