Este 2 y 3 de octubre la Casa Central de la U. de Chile acogió el Seminario Internacional "Bases y experiencias para el trabajo social en reinserción social", enmarcado en el programa estatal "Volver a empezar". La sensibilización de la ciudadanía respecto a la importancia de este proceso de retorno a la comunidad, así como la creación de redes y alianzas público-privadas para apoyar la reinserción de los infractores de ley, fueron parte de los puntos claves tratados en la actividad organizada por la Casa de Bello y el Ministerio de Justicia.

En 1989, une conférence impliquant plusieurs chercheurs belges, français et québécois fut organisée par le CRDP (Nouvelles technologies et propriété) et s’interrogeait déjà sur la capacité d’appropriation des données personnelles par des entités tierces. 30 ans plus tard, et en dépit de lois qui densifient les obligations des parties prenantes (RGPD, loi californienne), une différence de perspective prévaut entre Europe et Amérique.

We’re always looking for ways to strengthen the open source ecosystem. Over the past two months, the Developer Advocacy team at the Wikimedia Foundation collaborated with two open source initiatives: Mozilla’s Open Source Student Network (OSSN) and TeachingOpenSource.org’s Professors’ Open Source Software Experience  (TOS and POSSE, respectively).

In about a month, some of the key stakeholders in Internet Governance will come together in Paris and talk about the public policy challenges facing the Internet in 2018 and beyond. They will do so at the Internet Governance Forum, a UN-supported platform that will meet for the thirteenth time this year.

True to its location in Festival City – also known as Edmonton, Alberta – the 2018 Indigenous Connectivity Summit’s training day crackled with the energy of community networking advocates from around the world.

Das SelmaMeyerMentoring unterstützt qualifizierte und engagierte Nachwuchswissenschaftlerinnen dabei, ihre Fähigkeiten und Kompetenzen zu identifizieren, zu entwickeln und diese systematisch in ihre Berufsplanung einzubinden. Das Programm besteht aus drei Modulen (Mentoring-Beziehung, Workshops und Networking Events) und dauert 18 Monate (z.B. vom November 2018 - bis April 2020, und vom Jan. 2019 - bis Juni 2020).

Im Einzelnen müssen die Krankenhäuser nachweisbar einen hohen Hygienestandard aufweisen, geeignete Aktivitäten zur Vermeidung von Infektionen mit multiresistenten Keimen betreiben, durch Aus- und Fortbildung ihr Personal schulen und durch Information von Patienten und Angehörigen die Patientensicherheit erhöhen.

Imagine how much the Internet has changed our lives in the last few decades. Today, thanks to the Internet, we can communicate with anyone around the world, instantaneously, reliably and cheaply. This enables us not only to be close to our friends and family that may be far away but also to bridge the knowledge gap that we have with the developed world.

Michel Bauwens: Mapping is important to the transition towards a more ecologically-balanced and socially-just commons-centric society, as it brings visibility and conscious awareness to the great diversity of initiatives taking place, and can also be a community-building tool. Here is a recent and very professionally undertaken mapping effort for the Italian commons, undertaken by our friends at LabGov.

The internet and near-costless scaling of digital has allowed the concentration of too much power in too few hands. Our systems for accountability can’t or won’t keep up. By building alternatives, the decentralisation of networks, governance and control are a promising antidote.

Writing about Islam in Hebrew: Dar AsSalam Editors
Last January, Wikimedia communities around the world celebrated Wikipedia’s seventeenth birthday—and Wikimedia Israel joined in. Held at the IBM office in Tel Aviv, nearly 60 Wikimedians attended, including a group of Palestinian editors from the Dar AsSalam Islamic Center (meaning House of Peace) in Kafr Qara, Haifa district.

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly technology evolves. In 2007, the iPhone was released and dramatically transformed the way we communicate. Then, less than three years later, the first iPad hit consumer shelves and revolutionized personal computing. Now, Internet service providers around the world are racing to deploy the infrastructure needed to fuel our transition into smart cities of increasingly connected homes and driverless cars.

Alle Organismen einschließlich der Pflanzen verfügen über ausgefeilte Strategien der Nährstoffverwertung aus ihrer Umgebung. Da die pflanzliche Ernährung ein wichtiger Baustein in der Pflanzenproduktion ist, hängt auch unser Leben davon ab. Versteht man die Transportmechanismen in der Pflanze – etwa in deren Wurzeln –, kann dies dazu beitragen, Kulturpflanzen zu züchten, die Nährstoffe besser aufnehmen können.

The Filter Bubble – that is one of the most discussed phenomena of the internet. It is suspected of restricting our perception of the Internet through filters. Everyone is talking about it and yet very few people know what the problem really is about. How does the Filter Bubble manipulate our perception? And can it…
