[Srijan Wednesday Webinars] The Entrepreneur's Guide to Open DataSrijan Technologies
The Economist called open data the 'next gold mine'. McKinsey recently estimated that open data could generate $3 trillion/annum for the global economy. Over 50 governments around the world now have 'open' initiatives aimed at transparency, accountability and more. So how can entrepreneurs in developing countries leverage this opportunity in ways that are commercially viable and that produce social impact on the ground?
In this webinar, our speaker shared examples of innovative companies that are already taking advantage of open data. He walked us through the emerging business models and the 'environmental’ factors that must be in place to nurture open data driven businesses. He also discussed instruments that are gradually beginning to emerge to support entrepreneurs in this area.

An Inside Look at the Elusive Planned Giving DonorKatherine Swank
Your prospect pool of deferred major donors is easier to identify and understand than ever before. In this session we'll explore the findings of recently released research projects to shed a stronger light in the quest to detect and profile your best planned gift prospects. You'll learn which demographic and socio-demographic factors were discovered and appear to be prevalent in those that make planned gifts. We'll review the research's varying methodologies to sort out the descriptive indicators you may find easy to data-mine from those indicators that are predictive and require an analytic approach. Finally, we'll discuss which indicators your organization may need to collect directly from your constituents in contrast to those you can easily obtain and append from outside sources. Come aboard for this discovery of the golden era in research on the elusive planned gift donor!

L’Azione Altrotempo si propone di incentivare nella prima cintura di Torino la diffusione di spazi di supporto alla cura, all’educazione e alla socialità dei bambini nella fascia 0-6 anni, a sostegno della genitorialità e della prevenzione di situazioni di marginalità, dove offrire ai bambini e alle loro famiglie momenti educativi, laboratoriali e di gioco e favorire l’inclusione, la formazione dei genitori e la partecipazione.
Banca Europea degli Investimenti e Compagnia di San Paolo hanno presentato oggi il fondo RIF - T. Un fondo dedicato alla ricerca e all’innovazione che potrà agire prevalentemente al Nord Italia.
Il Documento Programmatico Pluriennale 2017-2020 (DPP) della Compagnia di San Paolo è costruito su due grandi pilastri.
In primo luogo, sta la scelta di fondo di esprimere una filantropia moderna, orientata ad obiettivi strategici di sistema. Sviluppo, istruzione e innovazione costituiscono i vertici di un triangolo al centro del quale è collocata la persona. Si può dire che la persona è il punto
di partenza e di arrivo: i veri “beneficiari” dell’azione della Compagnia non sono infatti gli enti, pubblici o non profit che siano, che grazie alla Compagnia realizzano progetti o sviluppano attività, ma le persone le cui condizioni di vita sono migliorate da quelle attività e da quei progetti.
Il valore complessivo degli stanziamenti effettuati dalla Compagnia
di San Paolo nel corso del 2018, secondo intero anno del ciclo di
programmazione 2017-2020, è ammontato a 179.714.798,52 Euro, mentre sono stati 797 gli interventi deliberati, a valere sui fondi di pertinenza del budget annuale o accantonati in anni precedenti.
L’ammontare erogato 2018 conferma il trend crescente già osservato negli anni precedenti.
La presentazione di Piero Gastaldo avvenuta al Teatro Regio di Torino della Giornata della Compagnia di San Paolo 2018 "Educazione e innovazione per lo sviluppo".
La Compagnia di San Paolo considera lo spettacolo dal vivo, in quanto componente essenziale della dimensione culturale, uno strumento privilegiato per la crescita degli individui e della comunità e per lo sviluppo del territorio in termini culturali, sociali ed economici.
Sostenere lo spettacolo dal vivo e la sua pratica vuol dire dare voce a esperienze artistiche e urgenze creative, costruire professioni, supportare sistemi culturali ed economici, valorizzare territori, ma anche e primariamente stimolare nelle persone curiosità e creatività e contribuire alla comprensione del presente, alla coesione sociale, alla formazione e all’emancipazione degli individui.
Modelli partecipati e strategie efficaci di sviluppo territoriale localeCompagnia di San Paolo
Mercoledì 19 luglio 2017, a partire dalle 9, al Collegio Carlo Alberto (Via Real Collegio 30 - Moncalieri TO), la Compagnia di San Paolo e il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in collaborazione con il Dipartimento di Culture, Politica e Società dell’Università di Torino, l’Associazione Dislivelli e UNCEM Piemonte, organizzano Modelli partecipati e strategie efficaci di sviluppo territoriale locale, un convegno dedicato alla competitività dei territori rurali e montani cui prenderanno parte, tra gli altri, il Presidente della Compagnia di San Paolo Francesco Profumo e l’ex Ministro alla Coesione Territoriale Fabrizio Barca.
Al centro dell’incontro, i percorsi attivati nell’ambito del Programma Torino e le Alpi della Compagnia di San Paolo per migliorare la competitività e favorire la crescita dei territori alpini. Grazie alle analisi dei consulenti impiegati tra Piemonte e Valle d’Aosta e alle voci di amministratori e rappresentanti dei territori coinvolti (Unité des Communes valdôtaines Mont-Cervin, Unione Montana Alta Langa, Unione Montana Alta Ossola, Unione Montana dei Comuni Olimpici Via Lattea, Unione Montana Valle Stura, Zona omogenea Pinerolese della Città metropolitana di Torino), il convegno intende riflettere sulla replicabilità dei modelli presentati e sulle conoscenze maturate, alla luce dei nuovi ambiti di ricerca avviati dal Collegio Carlo Alberto.
La seconda parte della mattinata darà spazio alle testimonianze di enti e locali e nazionali impegnati in progetti per lo sviluppo sociale ed economico del territorio, tra agricoltura, formazione, imprenditoria e turismo: si alterneranno le esperienze del Collegio Carlo Alberto e dell’Accademia delle Alte Terre, e quelle di Slow Food, CIPRA Italia, step-Scuola per il governo del Territorio e del Paesaggio e UNCEM Piemonte.
A chiusura dei lavori, i contributi del Presidente della Compagnia di San Paolo Francesco Profumo e dell’ex Ministro alla Coesione Territoriale e promotore della Strategia Nazionale Aree Interne Fabrizio Barca.
Il Presidente Francesco Profumo e il Segretario Generale Piero Gastaldo hanno presentato le linee programmatiche per il 2017 e il Piano strategico 2017-2020.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
