"Yksi suurimmista muutoksista on se, että kehitysyhteistyön antaminen ehdollistetaan jatkossa siihen, että varoja vastaanottavat maat ja ”toimijat” eivät tue Venäjän hyökkäystä Ukrainaan. Maiden pitää myös sitoutua vastaanottamaan omia kansalaisiaan – käytännössä karkotettuja.
”Ehdollistaminen herättää tietenkin huolta. Hallitusohjelman kehitysyhteistyöosuus alkaa sillä, että puhutaan tasavertaisesta yhteistyöstä ja haetaan tasavertaisen yhteistyön tapoja suhteessa globaaliin etelään ja kumppanimaihin. Ehdollistaminen ei tällaiseen ajatteluun oikein sovi”, [Tapio] Laakso[Kirkon ulkomaanapu] sanoo." (Maailma.net, jun -23)

Franklin book programs
Franklin Publications was officially incorporated in the state of New York on June 5, 1952 as a nonprofit membership corporation for publication and translation of American books to native languages for distribution abroad. A group of American publishers, librarians and educators who were concerned with the state of education in developing countries founded the organization and named it after America's first book publisher, Benjamin Franklin. This group hoped that by facilitating and encouraging the publication and reading of American books in translation, international ties would be strengthened. Franklin's official purpose as stated in its certificate of incorporation was to.....
"The 1960s were a tumultuous time for Franklin. It continued to grow, expanding its programs to Africa and South America, but soon found itself in serious financial jeopardy. It began to redirect its activities from direct operational projects toward educational development. Specifically, it began to focus more on developing libraries and literacy campaigns, producing encyclopedias and dictionaries, developing textbooks, conducting training seminars in book publishing and writers' workshops, and technical assistance in printing, publishing and book selling. This redefinition also extended to a name change. Franklin Publications became Franklin Book Programs in 1964. The board felt the name Franklin Publications sounded too commercial and gave the impression it was a competitor to publishers. The organization's original name also failed to show its emphasis on books and that it was an international program."
In the Developmental Intelligence Laboratory, we are interested in understanding fundamental cognitive mechanisms of human intelligence, human learning, and human interaction and communication in everyday activities. To do so, we collect and analyze micro-level multimodal behavioral data using state-of-the-art sensing and computational techniques. One of our primary research aims is to understand human learning and early development. How do young children acquire fundamental knowledge of the world? How do they select and process the information around them and learn from scratch? How do they learn to move their bodies and to communicate and interact with others? Learning this kind of knowledge and skills is the core of human intelligence. To understand how human learners achieve the learning goal, the primary approach in our research is to attach GoPro-like cameras on the head of young children to record egocentric video from their point of view. Using this innovative approach, we've been collecting video data of children’s everyday activities, such as playing with their parents and their peers, reading books with parents and caregivers, and playing outside. We've been using state-of-the-art machine learning and data mining approaches to analyze high-density behavioral data. This research line will ultimately solve the mystery on why human children are such efficient learners. Moreover, the findings from our research will be used to help improve learning of children with developmental deficits. A complimentary research line is to explore how human learning can teach us about how machines can learn. Can we model and simulate how a human child learns and develops? To this end, our research aims at bridging and connecting developmental science in psychology and machine learning and computer vision in computer science.

The accumulation of solid waste and consumption of fossil fuels are two phenomenons which already have a major destructive effect on the environment. The lack of alternative solid waste management procedures and shortage of the development of renewable energy resources should be addressed in order to sustain environmental quality. Sawdust is a major waste product along the Lagos lagoon with cellulose one of the predominant structural components of sawdust. The bio-conversion of waste cellulose, a glucose biopolymer into glucose a fermentable sugar has been performed with cellulase from Aspergillus Niger. Delignified and non-delignified sawdust from five different trees along the Lagos Lagoon have been saccharified with A. niger cellulase. The saccharification of these sawdust materials have been performed at different incubation temperatures of 30°C, 40°C, 50°C and 60°C. Optimum saccharification of non-delignified and delignified cellulose from the various trees along the Lagos Lagoon were optimum saccharified at different temperatures resulting in different sugar concentrations produced. A temperature of 40°C was optimum for maximum degradation of non-delignified cellulose from al

L'International Journal of Educational Research Open a publié une étude bibliométrique sur le Learning Analytics (LA), ou Analyse de l’apprentissage. L'étude, qui s'étend de 2010 à 2020, permet d'établir le développement croissant de cette discipline. Elle croise les méthodes quantitatives traditionnelles dans l'éducation avec l'utilisation de mégadonnées, comme dans les domaines de l'Intelligence artificielle.
This event provides a range of presentations and discussion sessions as well as an opportunity to network with colleagues involved in learning analytics developments and other data products and services.
Alternative metrics demonstrate the value and influence of scholars’ work apart fromtraditional citation counts and can enhance the impact of a CV. Altmetrics provideadditional, supplementary information and can balance misleading metrics tied toparticular journals. More timely than traditional metrics, altmetrics quickly reveal theimpact of recent work and add authority to different types of scholarly products notcaptured as articles. Altmetrics can capture social media references that escape traditionalmetrics and reflect public engagement prompted by scholarly writing. The availability ofaltmetrics expands publishing opportunities to include new venues and stimulatesinnovative strategies for evaluating research. When included in a CV altmetrics must beaccurate, clear and meaningful

Das britische Verteidigungsministerium will die nationalen Fähigkeiten auf dem Feld militärischer Nanodrohnen stärken. Solche Kleinstdrohnen bieten im urbanen Umfeld viele Vorteile und lassen sich unter anderem in der Uniform mitführen. Das britische Verteidigungsministerium hat nun einen Vertrag zur Entwicklung eines einsatzbereiten, robusten Prototyps für Tests beim Heer geschlossen. Es wurden dafür jetzt rund 226.200 Pfund bereitgestellt. Neu ist zudem, dass mit diesem Vertrag ein Start-up zum Zulieferer der British Army wird.
