The environmental damage our factories, cars, farms and lifestyles create is well known. But what happens when the environmental damage takes on a planetary scale, threatening human health and civilization?
Beyond the traditional humanitarian aid modelSarah King
Humanitarian aid has long been dominated by a classical paradigm based on ethics around humanitarian principles, centred on international humanitarian UN agencies and NGOs. In recent years this has been paralleled by a resilience paradigm, focused more on local people and institutions as the first responders to crisis. Whereas classical humanitarianism is rooted in the notion of exceptionalism, resilience humanitarianism starts from the idea of crisis as the new normality.
In this Sussex Development Lecture Thea Hilhorst discusses these paradigms and the different images they evoke about crises, local institutions and the recipients of aid.

Urban women face significant economic and social constraints due to their limited ability to access, own and control property, including immovable property (e.g., land, structures), movable property (e.g., business equipment, personal possessions), and financial assets (e.g., cash, financial accounts). Insecure property rights make women more vulnerable and less economically, politically and socially empowered; inhibit them from improving their families’ health and well-being; and prevent them from fully contributing to the sustainability and economic growth of their cities. With increasing numbers of women living in cities, especially vulnerable groups like migrants and the elderly, women’s insecurity of property rights in the urban context is rapidly growing in urgency.

Threats and stresses to our 21st century world come in all shapes and sizes, just as they have since the beginning of human existence. But what distinguishes today’s threats from those of the past is the escalating rate at which they are occurring, without mind for geography or man-made borders. Issues once identified and analyzed individually – our environment, the economy, and social challenges – are now inextricably interlinked.
Despite all we know about resilience and the large body of research and literature that has been written on the subject – too few societies, organizations, and systems get resilience right.
In our new publication, titled Rebound: Building a More Resilient World, we asked leaders from various disciplines to share their lessons of what resilience means and what it requires of us. Through the lens of their own experiences, we can begin to explore some of the ways we can help prepare for, withstand and emerge stronger from the acute shocks and chronic stresses of the 21st century.

Position Paper: Sachs vs. Easterly
The purpose of this paper is to take a position supporting or criticizing Jeffrey Sach’s position on foreign aid, particular his Millennium Villages Project.
Read Nina Munk’s The Idealist and these two articles:
· Jeffrey Sachs, “The Case for Aid,” Foreign Policy, January 21, 2014, http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2014/01/21/the_case_for_aid
· William Easterly, “Aid Amnesia,” Foreign Policy, January 23, 2014, http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2014/01/23/aid_amnesia
You may also want to draw on the two videos shown in class:
· Jeffrey Sachs, Millennium Villages Project, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC_jRLjUVXk
· William Easterly on Riz Khan, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoV-wtxyQKY
Write a 3-4 page double-spaced paper following the standard guidelines for academic writing. Where appropriate be sure to cite your sources. In your paper you should do the following:
1. In your first paragraph take a position on foreign aid based on your reading of The Idealist and class discussion. (Notice that you will need to give some thought to how you want to define your position and make it narrow enough to defend in a short paper.)
1. Briefly describe the Millennium Villages Project and Sach’s justification for it. What reasoning and/or evidence does Sachs present to support his position?
1. Assess the Millennium Villages Project with particular attention to Nina Munk’s narrative in The Idealist and to William Easterly’s criticisms. Use your assessment to support your position.
1. Summarize your paper drawing on the evidence you present in the middle paragraphs.
A hard copy of the paper is due at the beginning of class on Wednesday, April 22 (note the change of date).
The Case for Aid
It's become fashionable to argue that foreign aid doesn't make a difference. Here’s why the critics couldn't be more wrong.
· By Jeffrey Sachs
· January 21, 2014 - 5:04 pm
I have long believed in foreign aid as one tool of economic development. This is not an easy position to maintain, especially in the United States, where public misunderstanding, politics, and ideology all tend to keep aid an object of contempt for many people. Yet the recent evidence shows that development aid, when properly designed and delivered, works, saving the lives of the poor and helping to promote economic growth. Indeed, based on this evidence, Bill and Melinda Gates released a powerful letter to the public today also underscoring the importance and efficacy of foreign aid.
As experience demonstrates, it is possible to use our reason, management know-how, technology, and learning by doing to design highly effective aid programs that save lives and promote development. This should be done in global collaboration with national and local communities, taking local circumstances into account. The evidence bears out this approach.
Of course, I do not believe that aid is the sole or main driver of econom ...

A personal story of how resilience can be harnessed and social justice brought to bear in rural communities across UK. Spanning 30 years from Anglesey to the high Andes and back we look at what features of low income lives will become critical when the current hegemony finally draws its last breaths.
Students selected topics from the book "What Matters: The World's Preeminent Photojournalists and Thinkers Depict Essential Issues of Our Time" by David Elliot Cohen who maintains that "a single image still has the power to change the world." They reserached their topic, composed an interest statement about whay it mattered to them (and should matter to everyone), compiled images and URLs about the topic to post to a blog and facebook group page.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

…to the enclave as parasite
“Today, someone who walks from the northwest toward the
Malawi hospital ward where I watched a young woman die long ago
may still pass the herbalists selling their medicines. Those approaching
from the east or south must make their way between the gleaming
buildings of the transnational research projects. Gates, Wellcome, the
CDC, Johns Hopkins are all represented: all the big guns in
international research, plus many smaller guns. The studies conducted
within have been carefully vetted, stamped, and approved as ethical;
there will be no more research on second-best therapies, though this
restriction sometimes means the projects are not very relevant to the
local clinical world. Climate controlled, well equipped, stuffed with staff
and microscopes and laboratory reagents and automated specimen
processors, the research buildings make for a striking contrast with the
hospital they surround. It is sometimes hard not to see them as
parasites feeding on an emaciated host.”

“I was paid a salary of $23K…the Nigerian project manager … was
paid less than $400 a month…the watchmen as little as $50 a month.
Further I was provided free housing…, and because my project provided
house was inside the NGO compound, the office generator supplied my
fully furnished house with electricity…and the project’s compound
supervisor doubled as my steward helping me with shopping, cooking,
cleaning my house and washing my laundry. Compared with the palatial
quarters of expatriates working for bigger agencies like USAID or
UNICEF, my house was relatively humble. Many expatriates’ houses are
far more luxurious than anything they could afford in their own
countries….I remember feeling particularly empowered controlling a fleet
of vehicles, … and I was especially fond of our white Toyota Land
Cruiser.”
Daniel Jordan Smith, 2009
Economic enclaving: compound privilege
- the place and pace of privilege
“The NGOs bore the brunt of the anger at reconstruction because they were
intensely visible, slapping their logos on every available surface along the coast,
while the World Bank, USAID and government officials dreaming up Bali plans
rarely left their urban offices. It was ironic, since the aid organizations were the
only ones offering any kind of help at all – but also inevitable, because what they
offered was so inadequate. Part of the was that the aid complex had become so
large and so cut off from the people it was serving that the lifestyles of the
staffers became … a national obsession. Almost everyone I met commented on
what priest called the “NGO wild life”: high-end hotels, beachfront villas and the
ultimate lightening rod for popular rage, the brand new white sport utility
vehicles. All the aid organizations had them, monstrous things that were far too
wide and powerful for the country’s narrow dirt roads. All day long they went
roaring past the camps, forcing everyone to eat their dust, their logos billowing on
flags in the breeze – Oxfam, World Vision, Save the Children – as if they were
visitors from a far-off NGO World. In a country this hot, these cars with their
tinted windows and blasting air conditioners were more than modes of
transportation; they were rolling microclimates.” Naomi Klein, 2008

Prominent features of the research practices were intrusion and control. We interrupted school
activities, enlisted and numbered the children and turned them into 'study subjects'. The research
hierarchy expanded the close association between bodily discipline and knowledge, already present in the
rural schools, beyond the limits of the locality: the emissaries of the government and the university in the
capital city arrive in a government car and, rescinding the existing regime of bodily discipline and inducing
even teachers to break their routines, access the children's bodies, inflict pain and extract blood. When the
collection of medical specimens was extended to the village, this hierarchical order of research expanded
further, intruded into domestic life and incorporated the children's families: from the distant city and from
overseas, researchers travel in big cars to the end of the tarmac road, follow dirt roads, branch into
footpaths, and plough through the bush as far as they can drive; further on they move on foot, into a
family's homestead, where they enter hastily and noticeably without social purpose; they enter the house
of a mother, examine her child and take some of its bodily fluid with them. Research confronts the people
in the village with a hierarchy of power, wealth, education and mobility, which embraces global spaces
spanning from Africa to Europe, village to capital city, wealthy to poor, powerful to marginalized, in which
they themselves are at the periphery and at the bottom.

“Several funding mechanisms of PEPFAR, such as the “New Partners Initiative”, are specifically designed
to facilitate US FBOs to set up treatment and prevention programs in Africa. Indeed, in some countries,
evangelical congregations are dispensing treatment. Even without the explicitly religious dimension that is so
particular to PEPFAR, other HIV programs also target reproduction, body and soul. Pregnancy is an important
“entry point” for reaching HIV positive women who can be given preventive drugs to stop transmission to
their child and enrolled in treatment programs, and those who are on treatment are exhorted to adhere
properly to their drug regimens through counselling, self-help groups and therapy “clubs”. For those who are
not HIV positive, “life skills and HIV prevention programs teach youth to respect themselves, to respect
others, including the opposite sex, and to practice personal responsibility” Vinh-Kim Nguyen, 2009

“I know it's not enough to attend only to the immediate needs of the

inadequacy of our own best efforts. The goal of preventing human
suffering must be linked to the task of bringing others, many others, into
