In today's multilateral disarmament, peace and security, and humanitarian fora, a key responsibility of states – and a challenge for their lawyers and policy makers – is to find common understandings on the international legal limits on information and communication technology (ICT) activities during armed conflicts. Following over two decades of discussions – and gradual progress – in UN General Assembly mandated groups of governmental experts and open-ended working groups on the use of ICTs, multilateral efforts to agree to such limits have reached an important juncture. In this post, the ICRC's Laurent Gisel and Tilman Rodenhäuser highlight the significant progress achieved on the protection of civilian populations against ICT activities through the adoption of ‘the first humanitarian ICT resolution' at the 34th International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement in October 2024. The authors discuss the trajectory that this resolution sets for multilateral work in the UN Open-Ended Working Group that concludes this year, for the ICTs workstream of the Global Initiative on IHL, and the ICRC's project on a digital emblem.

Are you interested in how information systems help sustainability? Our summary today works with the article titled Beyond smart: How ICT is enabling sustainable cities of the future from 2023 by Hanifa Shah, published in Sustainability journal. This is a great preparation to our next interview with Ryan Jeffery in episode 230 talking about the information and communication technologies' effects on urban development. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how ICT can help the creation of smart sustainable cities. This article presents information and communication technologies, also known as ICTs, in a role supporting sustainability in smart cities, promoting effective collaboration and avoiding self-serving outcomes. As the most important things, I would like to highlight 3 aspects: ICT can support sustainability in smart cities, but it must be integrated across all sectors and aligned with clear sustainability goals. Effective alignment of ICT and sustainability requires shared understanding and collaboration between local government, ICT firms, and citizens. Smart city initiatives should prioritize clarity, strong leadership, embedding sustainability in contracts, and enabling citizen participation to ensure ICT genuinely promotes sustainability rather than self-interests. You can find the article through this link. Abstract: Cities around the world face pressing sustainability challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, and unsustainable growth. Smart cities have emerged as a response to these challenges, leveraging information and communication technologies (ICTs) to create more efficient and liveable urban environments. However, the concept of smart cities is often defined in vague and ideologically driven terms that lack clear guidelines for promoting sustainability. In this study, we use qualitative methods to examine how the use of ICTs can support the goals of sustainability in smart city development, resulting in what we call a ‘smart sustainable city'. Drawing on a case study involving stakeholder analysis, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, we investigate the key roles of local government, ICT firms, and citizens in shaping sustainable urban development through smart city initiatives. Our findings shed light on the potential of ICTs to promote sustainability in smart cities and provide insights for policymakers, practitioners, and scholars working towards creating more sustainable urban environments. The findings of this research showed that ICT's role in supporting sustainability in smart cities relies on understanding the interests and priorities of civic, ICT firms, and citizens, promoting effective collaboration and avoiding self-serving outcomes.

Entra y descubrelos. De momento aprovecho para copiar el magnifico trabajo de JIB sobre este tema publicado en la web “la web de las sombras” domingo, 21 de diciembre de 2014 titulado “Mercenarios en Paterna”. Mercenarios en Paterna. Foto1 El 25 de agosto de 1989, el periodista Samuel Rosemblum publicó un artículo en el diario israelí "Hadashot" 1, en el que informaba de la existencia de una finca privada, situada en una zona arbolada próxima a Valencia, que serviría de campo de entrenamiento a mercenarios contratados por narcotraficantes colombianos. Se produjeron desmentidos oficiales. Los servicios de seguridad y el Ministerio del interior negaron saber nada del tema, sugiriendo que quizás se tratara de la Valencia venezolana, pero la revista Interviú, en su número del 8 de septiembre de 1989, afirmaba que había localizado una finca en el municipio de Paterna que se había abandonado cuatro meses atrás, pero en la que todavía se observaban vestigios de una "pista americana", megáfonos para recibir instrucciones, tiendas de campaña, roderas de vehículos todoterreno, cajas vacías de municiones e impactos de bala de gran calibre. Según Interviú, era una finca del Conde de Trénor, donde los mercenarios se preparaban bajo el pretexto de formación de personal con destino a empresas de seguridad españolas e israelíes. 2 1 El diario Hadashot, fundado por Amos Schoken el 4 de marzo de 1984, tuvo que cerrar poco después. 2 En 1989 la policía comenzó a investigar a empresas de seguridad con personal procedente del ejército o de los servicios secretos israelíes. Entre las empresas con personal israelí de la época se encontraban Mydas, de Mauricio Hatchwell y H Seguridad e ICTS, de Jacques Hachuel, que por entonces se ocupaba de la selección y entrenamiento del personal de seguridad del presidente de Banesto, Mario Conde. Hachuel estuvo implicado en el affaire Banesto junto a Marc Rich, el dueño del fuel oil del Prestige, amigo de Enrique Múgica y Javier Corcuera, y asociado con Luis Gómez-Acebo, casado con Pilar de Borbón, la hermana mayor del Rey Juan Carlos I. Sionista relacionado con el Mossad, buscado por el FBI y acusado por la fiscalía de Nueva York de una lista interminable de delitos financieros, Rich fue indultado por el presidente Bill Clinton a petición del ex presidente de Israel Simón Peres; el primer ministro Ehud Barak; los alcaldes de Zurich y Jerusalén, el vicepresidente de la CEOE, Fernando Fernández Tapias; el premio Nobel de Literatura, Camilo José Cela y el propio Rey Juan Carlos de Borbón y Borbón. Foto 2 Foto 3 Primero hacían un cursillo en Israel de especialización en armas cortas y pesadas, uso de explosivos, técnicas de rescate, golpes de mano, control de zonas reservadas, etc. y desde allí se trasladaban a distintos países en donde pudieran ser necesarios sus servicios. Los destinados a la América hispana que no hablaran español se trasladaban a Paterna para terminar su entrenamiento con dos meses más de prácticas y, finalmente, se incorporaban a las milicias privadas de los capos colombianos dedicados al tráfico de cocaína. Al noroeste de Valencia, siguiendo la carretera de Liria y atravesando la urbanización El Plantío y la zona de La Cañada, se encuentran las fincas de Vélez, Martinot y Mandor, cuyo propietario por aquellas fechas, según Interviú, era el conde de Trenor, Juan Antonio Gómez Trénor y Trénor. Foto 4 Foto 5 (Vista aérea de la zona. En el ángulo inferior izquierdo, el lago de la Vallesa del Mandor.) La finca Vélez, de más de quinientas hectáreas arboladas, con riachuelos, zonas escarpadas y una pequeña laguna en su zona central, se hallaba rodeada por una doble cerca de alambre de espino, y las entradas tenían puertas de hierro forjado. Vecinos del entorno hablaban de que los cazadores furtivos habían visto entrar y salir todo terrenos con las luces apagadas, así como comandos vestidos con trajes de camuflaje. Eran extranjeros, pero en otras ocasiones se habían topado con otros que hablaban en castellano, probablemente españoles y argentinos. Cuando sorprendían a los furtivos, los echaban a punta de pistola. A unos quinientos metros de distancia del complejo se encontraba una especie de fortaleza, situada en un enclave de unos diez mil metros cuadrados rodeado de un doble muro de cuatro metros de altura coronado con alambre de espino y provisto de varias atalayas. Foto 6 Foto 7 Foto 8 El citado conde de Trénor anunció la presentación de una demanda civil o una querella criminal contra los periodistas responsables de la información. Trénor negó poseer ninguna de las fincas citadas en el reportaje: Vélez, Mandor y Martinot. Miguel Tormo, propietario del El Conventet, una finca limítrofe a las citadas en la que estaría enclavada la supuesta fortaleza, también anunció que se querellaría. Según él, los muros, torretas y alambradas se habían instalado para impedir los robos que se venían produciendo continuamente. ….. En Israel existe una censura militar que prohíbe publicar informaciones relacionadas con los servicios secretos y el Ejército sin previa autorización. Teniendo noticia de que el periódico israelí "Hadashot" conocía las actividades del campo de Paterna, se paralizaron las actividades militares en la finca Vélez, se desmanteló la pista de entrenamiento, se retiraron los megáfonos -alguno de los cuales, por estar estropeados, se arrojaron a la laguna- y todo el personal, instructores y mercenarios, abandonaron las instalaciones. El 25 de agosto de 1989, como queda dicho, el diario mencionado hizo pública la información que tenía sobre el campo de entrenamiento español, confirmada por la emisión de un vídeo de la NBC en el que se observaba a militares israelíes instruyendo a los sicarios en hebreo. La televisión israelí consiguió finalmente identificar al individuo que aparecía en el vídeo. Se trataba del coronel Yair Klein, presidente de la empresa Hod Hahanith. Foto 9 Klein, de 46 años, ex comando y ex oficial de paracaidismo, se encontraba en la reserva, dirigiendo un regimiento especializado en instrucción militar, lucha antiterrorista y formación de escoltas. Otros empleados de Hod Hahanith eran los coroneles Moisés Spector, Abraham Tzadaka y Yaacov Biran. La noticia provocó consternación en Israel. El Ministerio de Defensa salió al paso de la información declarando que, aunque Klein y su empresa tenían permiso oficial para operar en Colombia, estaba caducado hace meses. Y que se trataba de una actividad criminal de la que no tenían conocimiento, que era asunto de la policía. Al fin y al cabo, Klein era ya un civil. Según un experto de una empresa de seguridad valenciana que asistió a un campamento israelí situado en las afueras de Tel Aviv, "... Los israelíes no juegan a la guerra: enseñan a matar. La última bala siempre se reserva para el que está en el suelo. Conozco bien sus métodos. Y no me extrañaría que entrenaran a sicarios de los narcos, porque los israelíes adiestran a todo el que pague. Lo demás les da igual." "Si están o no pagados por los narcos, lo ignoro. Lo único que puedo asegurar es que estaban tirando a bocajarro, con chalecos antibalas y placas antitrauma y desde luego utilizaban calibres altos, un 38 al menos, porque el impacto los echaba para atrás." "Todos nuestros entrenadores eran oficiales del Ejército, algunos en activo y otros retirados. Pero, desde luego, todos tenían experiencia en misiones concretas, tanto en Latinoamérica o Beirut como en Sudáfrica. El ejército es el que está detrás del negocio de los entrenamientos en Israel; se anuncian en las revistas y todo es tan natural como en España la oferta turística." Foto 10 Los asesinos a sueldo se acababan incorporando a los ejércitos privados de los narcotraficantes colombianos, que por aquella época asesinaron al candidato de la oposición a la Presidencia del Gobierno, el senador Luis Carlos Galán. Klein fue detenido finalmente en agosto de 2007 en el aeropuerto Domodédovo de Moscú, por agentes del Departamento antiterrorista del Ministerio del Interior ruso y agentes de la Interpol, cuando se disponía a viajar a Israel. En marzo de 2008, el Tribunal de Moscú autorizó su extradición a Colombia, en donde estaba condenado en ausencia a la pena de diez años y ocho meses de prisión, por instrucción, entrenamiento en tácticas, técnicas y procedimientos militares terroristas a mercenarios al servicio de Gonzalo Rodríguez Gacha, Pablo Escobar y los hermanos Fidel y Carlos Castaño. De este último se decía que utilizaba sierras mecánicas para realizar masacres de campesinos. 3 El artículo de Hadeshot, Paterna, la finca Vélez, los campos de entrenamiento, los instructores israelíes, los mercenarios del narcotráfico, las masacres de campesinos colombianos desmembrados con motosierras por los hombres de Carlos Castaño... Y llegamos a Macastre. Con una coincidencia cronológica y geográfica, en la que una de las víctimas es mutilada con una sierra mecánica y uno de sus pies aparece en el interior de un contenedor de basuras en la calle Alcàsser, de Valencia. No es de extrañar que con todas estas coincidencias se empiecen a formular hipótesis sobre la causa del triple crimen de Macastre, que muchos consideran un claro antecedente del triple crimen de Alcàsser. http://lawebdelassombras.blogspot.com.es/2013/04/los-crimenes-de-macastre.html 3 "... Carlos Castaño Gil had plenty of enemies. You expect that of a death squad commander in Colombia who killed hundreds of peasants, leftist polticians and suspected Marxist sympathizers. But in the end it was his own older brother Vicente, "El Professor," who supposedly hired the assassins who killed Carlos. He was shot two years ago in an ambush, at the age of 39. But it wasn't until Sept. 1 that Castaño's skeleton was dug out of a shallow grave in the jungle and identified by DNA testing. You wouldn't exactly call it a dignified burial for Castaño, once the most feared man in Colombia. It was a faster death than Castaño probably deserved; many of his victims were killed by chainsaw..." (Time, Friday Sept. 08 2006. Tim McGirk). En el libro autobiográfico "Mi confesión", Castaño negó el uso de sierras mecánicas. "... Insisto hoy y siempre que si se presenta un único caso en donde en las AUC se haya utilizado una motosierra para cercenar y mutilar a una persona, ese día me someto a la justicia. Nunca ha sucedido, pero continúa la campaña de desprestigio..."

Crystel Robbins Rynne, Chief Operating Officer at HR solutions provider HRLocker, outlines Ireland's journey toward gender equality in STEM and beyond. Highlighting success stories and addressing the ongoing challenges In recent years, Ireland has emerged as one of the world's leading technology hubs, with a reputation that continues to soar. Yet, if it is to achieve its aim of becoming Europe's STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) leader by 2026, Ireland, like many other parts of the world, has to improve the gender gap that sees women vastly underrepresented in STEM education and careers. According to recent research from the Department of Education, women only make up a quarter of those employed in STEM roles across Ireland. A figure that comes as no surprise considering just one in three EU STEM graduates is, as the European Commission reports, female. But it's not all doom and gloom - there are reasons to be optimistic. Female STEM role models in Ireland Women such as Abigail Ruth Freeman, Director of the Science Foundation Ireland, who has contributed to advancing scientific research and innovation in the country, and Fionola Cliffe, the Chief Operations Officer of Hooke Bio, are not just highly successful professionals, but they're also preeminent role models for young Irish women with aspirations of a career in STEM fields. Freeman, Cliffe and their peers epitomise the positive trend of increasing female participation in STEM in Ireland. This progress is not only encouraging but also inspiring, as it paves the way for more girls to follow in their footsteps. The visibility of Freeman and Cliffe, along with other Irish women in STEM, is crucial in empowering more women to pursue leadership roles in previously male-dominated industries. Another notable STEM role model, Sonya Geelon, the Chief Commercial Officer at Conferma Pay, champions the motto, 'If you see it, you can be it'. As a passionate advocate for nurturing young up-and-coming talent, Geelon embodies and endorses the progress that continues to be made and instilled in young girls and women. Ireland's low gender pay gap In addition to positive role models, we can be proud that, according to Eurostat, Ireland's gender pay gap is among the lowest in the European Union. Standing recently at 9.9 per cent, it is almost three percentage points below the regional average and has been falling since 2018. The gender pay gap doesn't represent illegal pay discrimination but is a measure of the difference between men's and women's average pay across an entire organisation. A high figure indicates a lower proportion of women in higher-paid leadership positions or more women at the lower end of the pay scale. A relatively low gender pay gap is definitely a positive step in the right direction. Whilst there is undoubtedly still a long way to go here to achieve full gender equality in the workplace, this is a reassuring sign for the future. Increasing levels of participation The rise of women and girls studying STEM subjects and entering STEM careers must also be acknowledged and celebrated. In their 2023 Survey of Female Students' Attitudes to STEM, I Wish, an Irish volunteer-led community committed to showcasing the power of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths to female secondary school students, reports a rise in the percentage of females studying a STEM discipline undergraduate programme from 29 per cent in 2014 to 36 per cent in 2022. The percentage of those studying ICTs rose from 15% to 23% over the same period. This is particularly heartening, considering the statistics cover the COVID-19 pandemic, when other industries slowed and saw less uptake. Other standout statistics include the percentage of female uptake of undergraduate courses in: Biology - 68 per cent Biochemistry - 65 per cent Food Processing - 64 per cent Environmental Sciences - 53% ICT - 51 per cent In response to the I Wish 2023 Survey, the team notes that over the past ten...
In the 1990s, the promise of justice for atrocity crimes was associated with the revival of international criminal tribunals (ICTs). More recently, however, there has been a renewed emphasis on domestic accountability for international crimes across the globe. In identifying a 'complementarity turn', a paradigm shift toward domestic accountability in the field of international criminal justice, this book investigates how the shadow of international criminal tribunals influences the treatment of serious crimes at the national level. Drawing on research and interviews in Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Sierra Leone, International Criminal Tribunals and Domestic Accountability: In the Court's Shadow (Oxford University Press, 2023) by Dr. Patryk I. Labuda develops a tripartite framework to analyse how states and tribunals work with, despite, or against one another in the fight against impunity. While international prosecutors and judges use the principle of complementarity to foster cooperation and decrease tension with government actors, Dr. Labuda argues that too much deference by ICTs toward states reduces the likelihood of accountability and may enable national elites to consolidate authoritarian power. By interrogating how international accountability stakeholders relate to their domestic counterparts, International Criminal Tribunals and Domestic Accountability advocates improvements to ICTs' institutional design and more dynamic interactions with states to strengthen the enforcement of international criminal law. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In episode 122 of the Canadian Immigration Podcast, the focus is on the top 10 crucial considerations when bringing an employee under a Free Trade Agreement (FTA). Mark Holthe, the seasoned immigration lawyer hosting the episode, expertly explores these key points and questions that can make or break an international hiring process. From examining the reciprocal relationships outlined in the FTA with the employee's country of origin to determining whether the FTA applies exclusively to citizens or extends to permanent residents, the episode offers essential guidance for employers and applicants alike. Further, the podcast delves into issues like bringing dependents, admissibility checks, work permit caps and extensions, and the importance of long-term planning. Business visitors' regulations under the FTA, coverage of technicians and trades employees, and the list of professionals eligible under the FTA are also thoroughly dissected, making this episode a valuable resource for navigating the complexities of international employment through Free Trade Agreements. Top 10 things to remember when bringing an employee under a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) Reciprocal relationships (check the FTA with the employee's country of origin) Check if the FTA is available to Permanent residents or only to citizens of the signatory country Bringing the employee's spouse or children - check if the FTA facilitates entry for the dependents Screen the applicants and their dependents for admissibility (criminal and medical, security, misrepresentation, etc.) Check the caps, number, and duration of the work permits under the FTA Extensions - can you extend the Work Permit? Make a long-term plan. Do you have a strategy to transition the employee to another Work Permit? Business visitors - does the FTA modify the regulations? Do you even need a Work Permit application under the FTA? Does the FTA cover Technicians and Trade employees? Professionals category - check the list of professionals under the FTA. Is it a positive list or a negative list? About our Sponsors - Joorney Business Plans: Joorney Business Plans is the leading immigration business plan writing service provider in Canada.

It can be a challenging journey, but understanding the process is key to a smoother experience. Let's explore the steps and potential pitfalls. REGISTERING FOR EMPLOYER PORTAL: To kick things off, when an employee needs an employer-specific work permit but qualifies for an LMIA exempt category, employers must first register for an Employer Portal account. But the pain begins with setting up an alternate user, and the challenges of Two-Factor Authentication (TFA). OFFER OF EMPLOYMENT: New requirements, effective since September 26, 2022, have added complexity. Employers must craft an offer of employment with precision. Key terms are crucial, and employers are reminded that they'll be held accountable for compliance under the International Mobility Program (IMP). WORKER RIGHTS AND ABUSE PREVENTION: We discuss the critical aspects of worker rights, emphasizing the importance of posting and logging the time when employees receive this vital information. Employers must commit to a workplace free from abuse, and this involves having a signed and dated agreement. Providing a fully executed copy to the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) is a must before submission through the Employer Portal. REGULATED OCCUPATIONS: Employers need to be cautious of regulated occupations. Additional requirements or restrictions may apply. DATA ENTRY AND TIME MANAGEMENT: The process of entering information can be cumbersome. Managing time-outs and keeping a separate document for critical data is essential for a smoother experience. LMIA EXEMPTIONS AND FITTING IN THE BOX: Employers need to ensure that their case fits into an LMIA exemption. We discuss the importance of getting this step right and whether to rely on specific criteria or uploading supporting documents. UPLOADING THE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT: The employment agreement plays a vital role. Employers must upload it with an acknowledgment from the employee that they have received Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) information. DUPLICATE OFFERS AND PAYMENT: A crucial tip for employers is to create duplicate offers before proceeding to payment. This safeguards against application issues. It's worth noting that draft offers expire in 60 days, so time is of the essence. PAYMENT MECHANICS AND COMMON GLITCHES: We delve into the mechanics of the $230 payment and common glitches. Employers need to be aware of potential issues, including the disappearance of essential numbers or letters (A # essential O#). APPLYING FOR WORK PERMIT: It's not over yet! We guide employers on ensuring the employee properly applies for their work permit. The place and method of application depend on the employee's nationality, whether they're from the US, require an eTA, or a visa. Navigating the Employer Portal can indeed be a challenging journey, filled with potential pain points and complexities. But armed with the right knowledge, employers and temporary foreign workers can overcome these hurdles and ensure a smoother process. Stay tuned for more insights and guidance in our upcoming episodes. UPCOMING EPISODES: To wrap up, we offer a sneak peek into our next series of episodes where we uncover the hidden gems of the International Mobility Program (IMP) – Free Trade Agreements. These agreements are a game-changer for employers and employees.

He is the author of several books, including his most recent one, Self-Improvement: Technologies of the Soul in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. In this episode, we focus on Self-Improvement. We start by talking about the philosophical history behind the culture of self-improvement. We discuss how we present ourselves on social media, and the idea of “authenticity”. We talk about spiritual narcissism, and the current popularity of stoicism. We discuss how we obsess with self-improvement, and ignore collective solutions and political and socioeconomic issues. We talk about self-improvement as a means of class signaling, and “technosolutionist” approaches involving transhumanism and self-enhancement. We discuss how neoliberalism ties to self-improvement ideas, and how obsessed we are with being productive. Finally, we talk about how we can reframe self-improvement, and a positive role for technology. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, OLAF ALEX, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, MIKKEL STORMYR, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, DANIEL FRIEDMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, CHARLES MOREY, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

As I am now finishing my studies in Digital Society at Maastricht University, this podcast episode is the digital element of my Bachelor Thesis. For the last 6 months, I conducted qualitative research on how internet-based development solutions can successfully empower women in East Africa, specifically in Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania. I conducted 5 semi-structured interviews with experts from development organizations working in the region and explored the different digital solutions, using internet or not, to empower women and work towards achieving gender equality. This episode takes the shape of a role-play where my friend Claudia, invites me on her imagined channel "Digit-All" to present my research methods and findings. I describe what I understood from the interviews and literature research conducted. I hope this episode can bring new insights into the discussion of remediating to the gender digital divide and gender inequalities with ICTs (and internet) in East Africa. My apologies for the sound, I recommend wearing headphones for better quality. The cover art of this episode was made through Dall-E.

How long do 20 years of cybersecurity actually feel? Quite intense and intensive, for sure. It's unlikely that anyone thought that with the internet and ICTs would come no risks, no maliciousness, no actors aiming to exploit vulnerabilities of digital systems. Two of e-Governance Academy's own cybersecurity experts are here to remind us how far we've come. With them, we recap events and lessons learned on safeguarding digital spaces from two decades of activity. But also, how future strategies and actions should strike the right balance between protection and freedom. Tune in!

In Episode 28 we'll be looking at what philosopher Luciano Floridi calls the "infosphere". You may have heard of the "biosphere"--all the ecosystems on earth that support biological life. The infosphere then is the environment that supports information, which is another term for reality, if you look at today's reality from an informational perspective. Thus, in The Fourth Revolution: How the Infosphere is Reshaping Human Reality we'll investigate how ICTs (information and computing technologies) are blurring our online and offline worlds.Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/kendallgilesJoin to support the show and for exclusive content, including episode notes, scripts, and other writings: https://patreon.com/kendallgiles
