    Amidst a global pandemic, who is AI for?

    No full text
    Global artificial intelligence capability is expanding fast, as is the threat of emergent infectious diseases. However, AI is not always used for the benefit of the people. Track-and-trace apps have produced serious concerns and implications for democracy and transparency during national emergencies, and their rolling out has often failed to protect those most at risk of contracting COVID-19. Stephen Roberts, Audrey Prost, and Lele Rangaka find a significant variance in how different populations and communities either benefit from, or are oppressed and disenfranchised by, AI operations aimed at containing COVID-19. The authors argue that for AI to address these inequalities, it must focus on three factors outside of technology: people, processes, and politics

    The representations of war in French culture in the interwar period, Antoine Prost. War was indeed "dynamic" before 1914, but the experience of 1914-1918 ruined its previous representations. It was thereafter perceived both as a catastrophe and as fatal. Between 1918 and 1939, this representation no longer allowed preparations for a new conflict. Relying on Alain and Giraudoux, the author explains how the will to save a certain honor of victorious war led to sacrifice honor at the time of the defeat of 1940.Prost Antoine.

    Corneille Agrippa

    No full text
    Described by one modern scholar as a 'classic biography' of Agrippa, Prost's two-volume work (1881–1882) charts the life of one of the most renowned humanists of Renaissance Europe. Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim (1486–1535) was a prolific author, best known for two popular, significant, and contradictory books: De occulta philosophia libri tres and De incertitudine et vanitate scientiarum et artium. Auguste Prost (1817–1896) established his reputation as an antiquarian and a historian of the French city of Metz. Volume 2, covering the period 1520–1535, is organized around Agrippa's travels and teaching across Europe. This volume also includes an appendix, which returns to a range of subjects touched on in the work as a whole, including Agrippa's name, family life, and academic achievements and works. These volumes would greatly interest historians and historiographers of Agrippa and of Renaissance magic and the occult.</jats:p

    The feasibility of integrating a combined stimulation and nutrition intervention into the current health system: a qualitative study dataset

    No full text
    This dataset contains qualitative data collected in Nepal's Dhanusha district to investigate how stimulation interventions could be integrated into existing health and nutrition programmes. Data were collected between 16 February 2021 and 23 April 2021. The record consists of 30 semi-structured interviews (SSIs) (18 with caregivers, four with health service providers, one with a district stakeholder, four with national stakeholders, and three with policymakers) and four Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) (two with Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVS) and two with members of the Health Facility Operation and Management Committee (HFOMC)).). All SSIs with the caregivers, health service providers, and FGDs were conducted in the local language Maithili by an experienced female researcher (KG) fluent in Maithili and Nepali, except for two SSIs (with a father and health coordinator) which were conducted in Nepali. A female researcher (SD) fluent in Nepali and English conducted all SSIs with stakeholders and policymakers in Nepali, except for one (with a national stakeholder) in English. For analysis, all data were translated into English. This data contributes to the paper entitled "Exploring the feasibility of integrating health, nutrition, and stimulation interventions in Nepal's health system: a qualitative study."
