Avances en el desarrollo de curas contra el cáncer, proyectos asociados al cambio climático y la simulación de agujeros negros en un laboratorio fueron algunos de los trabajos impulsados por académicos de la Casa de Bello que más recibieron cobertura periodística desde el extranjero.
Se habla de sequía y de pocos eventos lluviosos, en la zona centro sur del país, pero, ¿qué pasa con el resto del territorio?

El desierto ya no está sólo en el Norte
Blog by Ian Hogarth: “The central prediction I want to make and defend in this post is that continued rapid progress in machine learning will drive the emergence of a new kind of geopolitics; I have been calling it AI Nationalism. Machine learning is an omni-use technology that will come to touch all sectors and parts of society.
Irina Pencheva, Marc Esteve and Slava Jenkin Mikhaylov in Public Policy and Administration: “Big Data and artificial intelligence will have a profound transformational impact on governments around the world. Thus, it is important for scholars to provide a useful analysis on the topic to public managers and policymakers. This study offers an in-depth review of the Policy and Administration literature on the role of Big Data and advanced analytics in the public sector.
In the following weeks, we will post a number of articles on the topic by scholars from Germany and Europe.Check out the first reading and be sure to revisit the blog in the next weeks: https://www.sicherheitspolitik-blog.de/ In the course of forming the global information society, the implementation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has been realized in many parts of the world.
Excerpted from an article and profile of Blair Evans by MATTHEW PIPER:
As I wrote in my previous post, we can build Platform Coops mainly based on thin relationships that follow maximizing individual self-interest, or based mainly on thick relationships that follow social and emotional engagement (always expect, though, a combination of the two). While governance is not the only factor that shapes relationships, it is nevertheless the most decisive to do it.

Joseph Nye at Project Syndicate: “…When people are overwhelmed by the volume of information confronting them, it is hard to know what to focus on. Attention, not information, becomes the scarce resource.
The 7th RIPE South-East Europe (SEE 7) meeting is being held on 18-19 June 2018 in Timisoara, Romania, and is focusing on several of the subjects of interest to the Internet Society. It’s also being chaired by our colleague Jan Žorž, whilst I’ll be talking about IoT Security and the OTA IoT Trust Framework.
Chapter by Lilian Edwards in L Edwards ed Law, Policy and the Internet (Hart , 2018): “In this chapter, I examine in detail how data subjects are tracked, profiled and targeted by their activities on line and, increasingly, in the “offline” world as well. Tracking is part of both commercial and state surveillance, but in this chapter I concentrate on the former.
Paper by Cass R. Sunstein: “In important contexts, people prefer option A to option B when they evaluate the two separately, but prefer option B to option A when they evaluate the two jointly. In consumer behavior, politics, and law, such preference reversals present serious puzzles about rationality and behavioral biases.
Louis Menand in The New Yorker: “…Possibly the discussion is using the wrong vocabulary. “Privacy” is an odd name for the good that is being threatened by commercial exploitation and state surveillance. Privacy implies “It’s nobody’s business,” and that is not really what Roe v. Wade is about, or what the E.U. regulations are about, or even what Katz and Carpenter are about.

Diese Forderung stellt eine konkrete Gefährdung unserer Patientinnen und Patienten dar. Diesem Vorschlag können wir aus medizinischer Verantwortung einfach nicht zustimmen“, erklärt Prof. Dr.
The second volume in our series with experimental writing, Deep Pockets, is available. INC’s very own Miriam Rasch collected some of her work from the past years for an English edition called Shadowbook: Writing Through the Digital 2014-2018. Five experimental essays and one exposition, all dealing with the question ‘How do we write when we write online?’
With a foreword by Maria Fusco, Belfast-born interdisciplinary writer.
Over the past six years I’ve had the pleasure of working with many great people in the P2P Foundation and the commons movement. A large part of this life thread has to do with new forms of governance. As I’ve stepped through various projects, the same issue of governance has come up again and again – however always with variations, always contingent on context.
