Quan es diagnostica una malaltia, aquesta passa a ser més important que la pròpia persona. Quan es tracta d’un infant, el seu pas per l’hospital no és una experiència agradable i, fins i tot, pot arribar a ser traumàtica i dolorosa tant per ell com pels seus familiars. Per aquesta raó, l’ONG Pallapupas i l’Hospital Joan XXIII han firmat durant aquest any 2012 un conveni de col•laboració que permetrà, que a través del joc i del riure, convertir la tensió en tranquil•litat; oferint així una intervenció que va més enllà de l’entreteniment. Pallapupas és una associació que treballa als hospitals i centres sòciosanitaris per a millorar la qualitat de vida dels infants, joves i ancians malalts i acompanyar en el processos mèdics dolorosos per alleujar-los. Aquest equip està format per actors i pallassos professionals amb formació artística i mèdica específica per a treballar en centres de salut.

Cyber Summit 2016: Research Data and the Canadian Innovation ChallengeCybera Inc.
Canada allocates a substantial amount of public funding to research, which is a critical factor in ensuring we remain innovative and competitive. Increasingly this funding is geared to the support and development of digital research infrastructure (DRI), including the underlying networks and the associated data acquisition, storage, analysis and visualization. In order to maximize the benefits of increasingly complex DRI and the research it facilitates, it is important to make sure data is properly stewarded, accessible and reusable. By adopting appropriate approaches to research data management we are better positioned to respond to challenges, such as effectively measuring research impacts, and ensuring the reproducibility, privacy, and security of research outputs.
Research Data Canada (RDC) is a member-driven organization committed to developing a sustainable approach to research data management, one based on interoperability and best practices. This session will provide an update on the efforts of RDC and partner organizations, including: CANARIE, Compute Canada, CARL Portage Network, CASRAI, the TriAgencies, and the Leadership Council for Digital Infrastructure. Intersections with international activities and projects will also be highlighted. These efforts are ultimately designed to faciliate a cohesive national approach to research data management, and one based on a clearly articulated vision for supporting innovation and discovery in Canada.
Mark Leggott is the Executive Director of Research Data Canada.
October 2016 HUG: Pulsar, a highly scalable, low latency pub-sub messaging s...Yahoo Developer Network
Yahoo recently open-sourced Pulsar, a highly scalable, low latency pub-sub messaging system running on commodity hardware. It provides simple pub-sub messaging semantics over topics, guaranteed at-least-once delivery of messages, automatic cursor management for subscribers, and cross-datacenter replication. Pulsar is used across various Yahoo applications for large scale data pipelines. Learn more about Pulsar architecture and use-cases in this talk.
