In 2015, the NGO Prajwala sent the Supreme Court a letter raising concerns about videos of sexual violence being distributed on the internet. Over the years, an expert committee was established, which has recommended auto-blocking select search terms and setting up online portals to register complaints against sexual abuse material, amongst others.

Das Phänomen ist bekannt: Biologische Organismen, etwa Bakterien, und künstliche aktive Partikel tendieren dazu, sich zu Schwärmen und Mustern zu organisieren. Kaum erforscht hingegen ist, wie genau diese Selbstorganisation funktioniert und welche Kräfte dabei wirken. Experimente zur Dynamik mikroskopischer Partikel sind schwer durchzuführen; auch Simulationen stoßen an ihre Grenzen, wenn grundlegende Wechselwirkungsmechanismen noch unverstanden sind.
We’re excited to share news of the third edition of the Applied Networking Research Workshop (ANRW2018), which will take place in Montreal, Quebec, on Monday, July 16 at the venue of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) 102 meeting.

Im einführenden Vortrag ging Prof. Dr. Guido Thiemeyer von der HHU auf das Spannungsfeld zwischen Zeitzeugenberichten und archivischer Überlieferung ein. Ein Thema, das nicht nur bei den zahlreich anwesenden Zeitzeugen, unter ihnen die Künstlerin Katharina Sieverding, die von 1967 bis 1972 in der Klasse von Joseph Beuys an der Kunstakademie Düsseldorf studierte, auf reges Interesse stieß. Die Vielzahl der autobiographischen Veröffentlichungen der 68er-Generation ist eine wichtige für die Geschichtswissenschaft jedoch auch problematische Quelle, so Thiemeyer.
Im November und Dezember 2012, sowie im Januar 2013 hielt Lehmann eine dreiteilige Vorlesungsreihe und ein Seminar unter dem Obertitel "Toleranz in der europäischen Geschichte und Gegenwart". "Mich haben folgende Überlegungen bestimmt: Wer will nicht tolerant sein?

Fei-Fei Li in the New York Times: “For a field that was not well known outside of academia a decade ago, artificial intelligence has grown dizzyingly fast. Tech companies from Silicon Valley to Beijing are betting everything on it, venture capitalists are pouring billions into research and development, and start-ups are being created on what seems like a daily basis. If our era is the next Industrial Revolution, as many claim, A.I. is surely one of its driving forces.
Hintergrund: Bei einem Krankenhausaufenthalt hat man vieles im Kopf, macht sich natürlich Gedanken über die Gesundheit und denkt nicht zuerst an Diebe. Aber schon kleine Maßnahmen vor dem Klinikaufenthalt können es möglichen Dieben schwer machen. Dazu zählt z.B., dass man keine größere Geldbeträge und keinen wertvollen Schmuck mit in das Krankenhaus nimmt. Auch gibt es in jedem Zimmer abschließbare Fächer, die man in jedem Fall nutzen sollte.Die Sprechstunde findet statt im Eingangsbereich des Zentrums für Operative Medizin II auf dem Campus des UKD von 14 bis 16 Uhr.

This site is about foraging in the city. It promotes the idea that cities can become edible. That edible cities are a commons that all urban actors should strive to produce together.
Block chain technology is taking the world by storm. From banking to health care, many tout block chain and the bit coin it enables as a cure-all. Others think bit coin is heading towards the edge. In between are those who see practical applications of block chain but caution on addiction to bit coin. On February 26th at the University of Copenhagen, I made a presentation entitled "Block chain technology -- good, bad, or somewhere in between?" This entry gives you a sneak preview of that talk.

Jennifer L. Gustetic et al in Space Policy: “Beginning in 2012, NASA utilized a strategic process to identify broad societal questions, or grand challenges, that are well suited to the aerospace sector and align with national priorities. This effort generated NASA’s first grand challenge, the Asteroid Grand Challenge (AGC), a large-scale effort using multi-disciplinary collaborations and innovative engagement mechanisms focused on finding and addressing asteroid threats to human populations.
