Generation Gap? Political and Economic Sentiment Across Three GenerationsRommell Montenegro
Millennials, born between 1980 and 2004, are now the largest and most diverse segment of the U.S. population. Not surprisingly, there has been a surge of recent research attempting to understand how this generation thinks, works and shops. One area that has received relatively little attention is differences in political and economic sentiment across the three largest generation groups.
Are Millennials more optimistic about the economy? Who cares the most about immigration policy? Which age group is the best target for messages about healthcare? As the US recovers from a recession and looks towards the next presidential election, it becomes critical to understand these market trends.

Hilary Graves - Repugnant Interventions - EA Global Melbourne 2015Adam Ford
Repugnant Interventions - Doublethink in Global Prioritization Outline:
1) Global prioritisation: child mortality, family planning and the
cancellation worry
2) Making it quantitative: the benefit-cost approach
3) CBA for child mortality reduction
3.1) Arguments for not counting ‘knock-on effects’
3.2) Critique of the CBA
4) CBA for family planning
4.1) An excursion into population axiology
4.2) Critique of the CBA
5) Conclusions
Summary / Conclusions:
• Child mortality and family planning are both (fairly) frequently cited as ‘top picks’ in global prioritisation.
• This is prima facie curious, since the most-obvious effect of the second intervention is precisely to undo the most-obvious effect of the first.
• Benefit-cost analyses (indeed) only manage to make both interventions simultaneously come out as ‘top picks’ by engaging in ‘doublethink’: making inconsistent decisions as to which effects (‘direct’ vs ‘indirect’) to count vs disregard, across the two interventions.
• Analyses of mortality-reduction projects neglect indirect (e.g. economic) effects.
• There may be a case for ignoring such effects in some
contexts (e.g. doctor-patient relationships), but not at the level of global prioritisation.
• Analyses of family planning programs ignore the (‘direct’) ‘value of lives not born’, counting only the ‘indirect’ effects on others.
• This presupposes a person-affecting and/or an average-utilitarian approach to population ethics. Those approaches are initially intuitive, but ultimately indefensible.
• There is a resulting danger that we are currently wasting billions of dollars per year, by doing and then undoing good.
• To fix this: More sophisticated analysis, including serious attempts to put neo-Malthusianism and the value of individual additional lives in dialogue with one another, is required.

This presentation summarises The Climate Institute’s report, Climate Smart Super: Understanding Superannuation & Climate Risk, which examines the impact of climate and carbon risks on retirement and superannuation savings, especially in Australia. Superannuation funds are often Australians’ biggest or second biggest asset but until now very few have had accessible information enabling them to take an active role in managing that asset against climate and carbon policy risks. This report (and presentation) offers a number of simple steps to assist people to engage with their super funds so that they can move from being accidental to active investors and start challenging the dangerous short term focus in business and politics that threatens retirement savings.

World In Crisis Study Takeway: A Crisis of Confidence DeficitDavid Black
People in rich, developed countries are increasingly disillusioned, and realising that politicians are short on long-term answers. These nations need to agree on a new approach to managing the future and a fresh compact with their society and the rest of the planet.
The Climate Institute has been conducting our annual Climate of the Nation attitudinal research since 2007. It is the longest continuous survey of community attitudes about climate change. We have charted the views of Australians about matters relating to climate change and energy policy, through the ups and downs of changing weather patterns, related natural disasters and the waxing and waning of the political landscape.
This presentation summarises this year's research, conducted by polling over 2,000 people across the country, as well as holding focus groups in Brisbane, Melbourne and Newcastle, which once again benchmarks the views of everyday Australians on these key issues. We compare and contrast them to the findings over these past years.
Are Australians climate dinosaurs? Climate of the Nation 2014, benchmarking Australian attitudes to climate change, finds that political leaders risk being stuck in the past as public attitudes on climate change and its solutions are on the rebound. In mid-2014, more Australians think that climate change is occurring and are concerned about impacts, present and future. There is a rebound in desire to see the nation lead on finding solutions and a strong expectation of government to address the climate challenge. Opposition to carbon pricing has continued to decline and there is a decline in the minority supporting repeal. For the first time more support carbon pricing than oppose it, even though there is lingering confusion around it.

Among nearly 19,000 adults surveyed by Ipsos in 26 nations, 58% say their country is on the wrong track. However, this is the lowest percentage in seven years, down five points from 12 months ago. Pessimism is slightly more prevalent in the United States as 62% of Americans think “things in this country are off on the wrong track”, a higher proportion than at any time since the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
The top global concerns are unemployment (cited by 35% across the 26 countries surveyed as one of the three most worrying issues), financial and political corruption (33%) and poverty and social inequality (32%). In contrast, the top concerns in the U.S. are healthcare (cited by 39% of Americans surveyed), terrorism (34%) and crime and violence (33%).
These are some of the findings of the November 2017 wave of What Worries the World, a survey conducted every month since 2010 among adults aged under 65, in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Britain, Germany, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Peru, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, and the United States with Ipsos’s Global Advisor platform.
This presentation was delivered at an international workshop meeting of the European Environment and Sustainable Development Advisory Councils (EEAC) titled ‘Safe operating space – state and perspectives as a concept for national policy’. The workshop discussed how the concept of ecological or planetary boundaries/ safe operating space (PB/SOS), which derives from the principle of sustainability, could and should possibly play a relevant role in environmental policy programmes in future political frameworks.

The future can be great for our community, for our province, for the energy industry, for you and me and our children. However, it will require us to embrace positive change and to start the transition now. We can create an Alberta that is a renewable energy powerhouse by energy companies utilizing land and infrastructure they already use to generate renewable energy as well as using fuel cell technology to produce much cleaner energy from hydrocarbons during the transition period. And we can become the supplier of choice for clean and green hydrocarbon products, with extraction, processing and use of final products without emissions, pollution, fresh water and use of harmful chemicals. Why won't we start now? We can do it together!
This year's SITE Energy Day was devoted to discussing the consequences of oil price fluctuations for markets and actors of the economy. The half-day conference engaged policy-oriented scholars and experts from the business community to discuss the impact of oil price fluctuations on macro fundamentals, international trade, strategies of oil cartels, strategic risk management, and opportunities for change in energy systems.

DAMA Webinar - Big and Little Data QualityDATAVERSITY
While technological innovation brings constant change to the data landscape, many organizations still struggle with the basics: ensuring they have reliable, high quality data. In health care, the promise of insight to be gained through analytics is dependent on ensuring the interactions between providers and patients are recorded accurately and completely. While traditional health care data is dependent on person-to-person contact, new technologies are emerging that change how health care is delivered and how health care data is captured, stored, accessed and used. Using health care as a lens through which to understand the emergence of big data, this presentation will ask the audience to think about data in old and new ways in order to gain insight about how to improve the quality of data, regardless of size.
DESIGN THE PRIORITY, PERFORMANCE AND UXPeter Rozek
Page speed is increasingly important for websites. Performance is User Experience and not only a Development Issue. Performance is a process and starts in conception and design.
Venture capitalists, especially those investing at the early stage, could be described as “relationship capitalists”. You’ll often hear how investors approach their commitments like a marriage, and that they think long and hard about with whom they want to go to bed. Avoid picturing that second part.
But the VC mystique can be inexplicable at times. Why do they send such curt emails? What the #%$! do they mean by “traction”? Are they even paying attention?!
Here are some things they might be thinking (but probably won’t flat-out say) during the courtship process, and how you can prepare, take ownership, and rock the pitch.
When working with big data or complex algorithms, we often look to parallelize our code to optimize runtime. By taking advantage of a GPUs 1000+ cores, a data scientist can quickly scale out solutions inexpensively and sometime more quickly than using traditional CPU cluster computing. In this webinar, we will present ways to incorporate GPU computing to complete computationally intensive tasks in both Python and R.

Since 2007, The Climate Institute has produced Climate of the Nation research capturing the nation's pulse on attitudes to climate change. This year's results show an increasing awareness and concern about the impacts of climate change and the country’s future energy mix amid the intensifying political debate.
More Australians trust the science that says climate change is caused by human activities.
The findings provide a critical opportunity for the Abbott government to better reflect public sentiment on climate change in its upcoming announcement on Australia’s post-2020 carbon pollution reduction target. More think that "the Abbott government should take climate change more seriously” and there is a strong expectation for government to regulate carbon pollution, move to phase out aging coal power stations, and invest in renewable energy.

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.
