Get PDFThis event is on crowdsourcing the translation of technological terms, words and phrases to Tigrinya, Tigre and Blien using a web based solution at https://meaditranslation.org. This event will showcase the efforts, reasons and benefits behind translating technological terms in to some of native African languages such as Tigrinya, Tigre and Blien. Moreover, there will be an update on the current progress made by MeadiTranslation community who contributed in translating around 3000 technology terms by submitting a translation as well as voting on other candidate submissions
The fulfillment service in online marketplaces
No full textIn recent times, fulfillment services in online marketplaces have witnessed a surge in popularity. Dominant e-commerce platforms, such as Amazon.com, now allow small retailers to join their online marketplaces, while concurrently providing comprehensive fulfillment services. In return, small retailers pay a fulfillment fee per unit of sales. We examine the advantages of these fulfillment programs in the context of a dominant retailer that possesses an online marketplace, alongside a small retailer who operates within this marketplace and possesses private fulfillment cost information. We analyze two scenarios, contingent upon the presence or absence of competition between the two retailers, and we derive the optimal fulfillment fees for the dominant retailer. Our findings indicate that the structure of market competition plays a pivotal role in shaping fulfillment fees and associated advantages. In the absence of market competition, the provision of fulfillment services consistently proves advantageous. This is attributed to enhancements in (1) consumer valuation of the small retailer\u27s products and (2) overall system efficiency in fulfillment. Conversely, when there is competition, offering a fulfillment program may not be as lucrative if the improvements in product valuation and the degree of cost heterogeneity are minimal. Furthermore, our findings highlight that enhancements in product valuation can positively impact both retailers and consumer welfare, irrespective of market competition. However, in cases where cost heterogeneity arises due to asymmetric information, it may adversely affect consumer welfare in the absence of competition
Encountering Artificial Intelligence: Ethical and Anthropological Investigations
No full textWhat does it mean to consider the world of AI through a Christian lens? Rapid developments in AI continue to reshape society, raising new ethical questions and challenging our understanding of the human person. Encountering Artificial Intelligence draws on Pope Francis’ discussion of a culture of encounter and broader themes in Catholic social thought in order to examine how current AI applications affect human relationships in various social spheres and offers concrete recommendations for better implementation. The document also explores questions regarding personhood, consciousness, and the kinds of relationships humans might have with even the most advanced AI. Through these discussions, this book investigates the theoretical and practical challenges to interpersonal encounter raised by the age of AI.https://scholarcommons.scu.edu/faculty_books/1614/thumbnail.jp
Ground Truths: Community-Engaged Research for Environmental Justice
No full textGround Truths shows how community-engaged research contributes to environmental justice for Black, Indigenous, people of color, and low-income communities by centering local knowledge, building truth from the ground up, producing data that can influence decisions, and transforming researchers’ relationships to communities for equity and mutual benefit.
The book outlines the main steps in conducting community-engaged research, evaluates the major research methods used, and addresses institutional barriers to this kind of scholarship in academia. A critical synthesis of research in many fields, Ground Truths provides an original framework for aligning community-engaged research and environmental justice, and applies the framework in chapters on public health, urban planning, conservation, law and policy, community economic development, and food justice and sovereignty.https://scholarcommons.scu.edu/faculty_books/1590/thumbnail.jp
Mathematics Instruction in Dual Language Classrooms: Theory and Research That Informs Practice
No full textLanguage and culture play a critical role in the teaching of mathematics and this role intensifies when considering the teaching of mathematics in dual language classrooms. This book unpacks lessons learned from socio-cultural theory being applied to research of the teaching of mathematics to Emergent Bilinguals with the end of informing practice. Utilizing a socio-cultural lens, authors present the possibilities and limits of the teaching of mathematics in dual language programs (90/10; 50/50 models). Themes of translanguaging, disciplinary literacy instruction, and culturally responsive instruction are leveraged to test the potential of these constructs to assist Spanish/English Emergent Bilinguals access rigorous mathematics content. Authors also present limits to these models, as often they can overshadow the mathematics learning. We embrace a stance where language and literacy are seen as tools for content area learning and not as ends unto themselves.https://scholarcommons.scu.edu/faculty_books/1642/thumbnail.jp
The Economics of Innovation and Intellectual Property
No full textThe first comprehensive textbook covering all aspects of the economics of innovation and the role of intellectual property in encouraging or discouraging innovationInnovation is widely viewed as the engine behind economic growth, and it has assumed increasing importance in contemporary economic research.
