NMTF Crisis Mapping Fall 2013
Crisis mapping uses technology and crowdsourced information to help with humanitarian aid efforts during crises like natural disasters or conflicts. Crisis mappers turn online data into usable maps and reports to help relief organizations coordinate aid. Some key technologies used include mapping software, reporting platforms, geolocation tools, and media monitoring. Notable examples include mapping violence in Kenya in 2008 and aiding relief efforts during the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Current deployments include mapping floods in Sudan. Training was provided on using Ushahidi and Crowdmap platforms to collect and visualize crisis data. Ethical issues around privacy and accuracy must also be considered.

IMPDET-LE workshop in March 2013 - Expecations and competencies of PhD students
IMPDET-LE workshop in March 2013 - Expecations and competencies of PhD studentsUniversity of Eastern Finland, IMPDET-LE
PhD students are expected to be proactive and self-organized in managing their studies. They should take initiative to learn about relevant literature, research methodologies, and ethics. Students are also expected to build a research network by collaborating with other students and seniors. PhD studies require flexibility and an ability to deal with uncertainty. While independence is important, major decisions should be discussed with supervisors, who provide quality assurance and advice. Students should actively seek research funding and write at least one funding application. Plagiarism is not tolerated. Communication with supervisors should be regular, and students should take notes during meetings.Presentation of Prof. Geoff Walsham at School of Computing, UEF.
Presentation of Prof. Geoff Walsham at School of Computing, UEF. University of Eastern Finland, IMPDET-LE
This document discusses the successes and challenges of using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in Africa to promote development. Some key successes highlighted include the rapid expansion of mobile phone access across Africa, the transformative impact of M-Pesa mobile banking in Kenya, and the use of mobile phones to support activism campaigns. However, the document also notes challenges such as ICTs only being part of the solution and not addressing other needs like capacity building; institutional contexts sometimes constraining what can be achieved; and systems not benefiting the poorest groups. The implications discussed for the ICT4D community include the need for multidisciplinarity, having a strategic agenda, and adopting strong ethical norms.Defense questions, Prof. Venter
This document contains a transcript of the doctoral defense of Isabella M. Venter from the University of the Western Cape, South Africa. During the defense, the candidate was asked questions by the committee about their research topic, literature review, research design, methodology, and knowledge contribution. The research examined how participatory design and digital storytelling could be used to create an HIV/AIDS education environment in Sub-Saharan Africa. The committee inquired about how the research differed from existing literature, why not all key concepts were reviewed, and how design science research was applied through multiple contexts in East and South Africa.
Big Data, Big Theology
This document discusses the potential for "Big Theology" using big data approaches to analyze and understand theological data on a large scale. It begins by defining big data and explaining how digital theology analyzes theologically relevant data through digital platforms and tools. The document then proposes that big theology could represent, store, retrieve, analyze, predict, and visualize theological phenomena based on a global collection of digital religious expressions and narratives. Finally, it provides examples of potential applications of big theology, such as a mobile catechism, using data to promote peace, technologies for sacred spaces, and assisting church leadership. It concludes by discussing challenges and opportunities for international collaboration on big theology projects.

SC7 Workshop 2: Space-based applications and Big Data
Roberto Cossu (ESA TIA-APS) presentation for Big Data in Secure Societies Workshop - Brussels, 18th October 2016 -
Doubling digital opportunities
This report examines gender gaps in access to information and communication technologies (ICTs). It finds that while gender gaps in Internet access are declining in many countries, significant gaps still remain, especially in developing nations. Women are still around 200 million fewer online than men globally. The report recommends that governments integrate gender considerations into ICT and broadband policies, improve collection of gender-disaggregated data, boost affordability and usability of technologies for women, increase relevant online content, and develop plans to achieve gender equality in broadband access by 2020. Addressing these issues could help leverage ICTs to improve women's empowerment and socioeconomic opportunities.

Intelligenza artificiale: uno yin o uno yang per i diritti umani?
ABSTRACT: Sempre più, quando parla di intelligenza artificiale, la stampa generalista ne sottolinea i pericoli, reali o anche solo presunti, per la libertà delle persone e i loro diritti fondamentali. Algoritmi per la sorveglianza di massa, o che influenzano le nostre scelte, sono certamente una realtà, e abbiamo bisogno di regolamentarne con attenzione l’uso. D’altro canto, l’intelligenza artificiale e le tecnologie dell’informazione possono anche essere di grande aiuto per la difesa dei diritti umani.

Using ICT for Earthquake Disaster Risk Reduction in Iran
The document discusses how Iran has increasingly used information and communication technologies (ICT) like GIS, remote sensing, and mobile apps to help with earthquake disaster risk reduction, such as creating hazard maps and models to estimate damage and casualties. ICT has also been applied in rural areas through rural ICT centers that provide access to technologies, education, emergency response, and disseminating risk information to communities. Going forward, Iran plans to further cooperate regionally on ICT for disaster risk reduction training and tools.
UNISIST
The document discusses the United Nations International Scientific Information System (UNISIST). It provides a history of UNISIST, describing how it was established through cooperation between UNESCO and ICSU to study the feasibility of a world science information system. The key aims and objectives of UNISIST are to coordinate trends toward cooperation in scientific information, act as a catalyst for necessary development, and facilitate access to world information resources through the establishment of standards and an interconnected network. UNISIST seeks to improve tools for system intercommunication and strengthen components of the information transfer chain.
ADRC Activities & Project introduction
The document summarizes the activities of the Asian Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC) including information sharing, human resource development, and community capacity building. It describes ADRC's Sentinel Asia program which utilizes satellite data from partner agencies for disaster management purposes. The goal of ADRC's Japan-ASEAN cooperation project is to build capacity for utilizing satellite images in producing disaster-related information and products through training workshops and seminars in ASEAN countries.
World disaster report 2013
The document is the World Disasters Report 2013, which focuses on technology and the future of humanitarian action. It explores how information and communication technologies can help humanitarian organizations, governments, and communities prepare for and respond to disasters. The report examines how technologies can help put communities at the center of humanitarian response. It also considers the challenges of technologies, such as reduced direct interaction between aid workers and communities, and the involvement of new actors not grounded in humanitarian principles. The report argues for more systematic evaluation of how technologies contribute to humanitarian action.

Social Media and Forced Displacement: Big Data Analytics and Machine Learning...
This white paper summarizes a project using social media data and machine learning to understand perspectives related to the Europe refugee emergency. The project conducted ten mini-studies analyzing Twitter data to monitor interactions between refugees and service providers, and understand host community sentiment toward refugees. Initial results were inconclusive for monitoring refugee interactions but revealed that a small number of tweets connected refugees to terrorist attacks in local Twitter communities. The paper outlines the methodology used and lessons learned to inform humanitarian decision-making and response through social media analysis.
National Nanosafety Center
The document presents a blueprint for establishing National Nanosafety Centers (NNCs). It discusses what nanosafety is and why NNCs are needed given the growth of the nanotechnology market. It outlines the methodology used to develop the blueprint, which included an online survey of 16 existing NNCs and a workshop. The results of the survey are presented on organization structure, objectives, services, knowledge dissemination, networks, and clientele of NNCs. Conclusions provide guidelines for countries looking to establish their own NNC. The document ends by discussing the need for an NNC in Colombia specifically, given its growing nanotechnology sector.
Building Spatial Data Infrastructures for Spatial Planning in Africa: Lagos e...
Lagos is the fastest growing Megacity in Sub-Saharan Africa, with its population estimated to double in the first quarter of this century; it is expected to be the third largest urban agglomerations in the world. This growth is not without challenges, as the city is grappling with myriads of urban management problems. City planners lack the most important ingredient of land use management, which is Information. In spite of huge investment on spatial data infrastructures at the national and state levels of government, most land use planners at both state and local government level agencies are ignorant of existing geospatial technology portals and unlock the full potentials of information and communication technologies. A statewide survey of the spatial data infrastructures of the city’s urban and land use management ministry and agencies proves its pathetic state, thereby creating information gap void between urban development and intelligent management. The result is has led to a sporadic growth of slums and unplanned settlements which now accounts for over 60% of the city. To avoid an impasse, it is necessary to review the level of geospatial technologies used at the local level and recommend formidable means of integration in the decision making process. This paper examines the level of geospatial technologies and Spatial Data Infrastructure use in spatial planning agencies and barriers to implementation in the 20 local governments of Lagos State and suggests the way forward.
SGAC_About_Us_2013
The document discusses the Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC), a non-profit organization that represents university students and young professionals in the space sector. It provides information on SGAC's origins, purpose, structure, products, and current projects related to near-Earth objects, space safety and sustainability, disaster management using space technologies, global navigation satellite systems, small satellites, and space law. SGAC aims to give young people a voice in global space policy and connect them with space professionals and organizations.
Crowdsourcing tools and examples
The document discusses various tools for crowdsourcing and crowdfeeding projects, including Ushahidi, OpenStreetMap, OpenAction, and FrontlineSMS. It provides examples of how these tools have been used for mapping and gathering reports in Kenya and Pakistan. Specific projects highlighted are MapKibera, which mapped slum areas in Nairobi, and PakReport, which mapped flood damage and humanitarian needs in Pakistan.
