Glasgow Caledonian University Magnusson Fellowship Lecture 2008: Muhammad Yunus
No full textGlasgow Caledonian University will host Nobel Peace Prize winner Professor Muhammad Yunus on a day long visit to Glasgow on December 1. In his only Scottish visit this year, Professor Yunus will meet with a group of Glasgow Caledonian students before the first meeting of the university’s Magnus Magnusson Fellowship and delivering the inaugural Magnus Magnusson Lecture to a high profile audience in Glasgow Caledonian’s Saltire Centre. The Magnus Magnusson fellowship is a prestigious, but informal group of international thought leaders who represent a wide range of backgrounds and interests and who will meet annually to debate and agree action on issues of major concern to society. Chaired by Glasgow Caledonian University Principal and Vice-Chancellor Professor Pamela Gillies, the members of the Magnus Magnusson fellowship include businessman and philanthropist Sir Tom Hunter; Palestinian lawyer, writer and human rights activist Raja Shehadeh; Dr Will Storrar, Director of the Centre for Theological Enquiry, Princeton; and journalist and politician Lord Gus Macdonald of Tradeston, who is also the university’s Chancellor. The title of the inaugural Magnus Magnusson lecture, which will be introduced by Sally Magnusson, Honorary President of the Magnus Magnusson Fellowship, will be 'Alleviating Poverty: Microcredit and Social Business'. The anti-poverty campaigner will also receive an Honorary Doctor of Letters from the university. Yunus, founder of the Grameen Bank and dubbed "Banker to the Poor", is recognised as one of the world’s greatest social entrepreneurs. He was awarded a Nobel Peace prize in 2006 for his efforts to create a world free of poverty by developing the concept of micro-credit, which supports entrepreneurs who are too poor to qualify for traditional bank loans. By providing small loans on suitable terms Yunus and Grameen Bank have shown that with the right support even the poorest of the poor can work to bring about their own social and economic advancement. Since it was set up in Bangladesh three decades ago, Grameen Bank has been replicated across the world, changing the lives of over 100 million families. In February 2008, Grameen Bank opened a branch in New York City, its first in a developed country. The bank plans to provide $176 million in loans over the next five years, targeting the 28 million Americans who have no bank accounts and another 44.7 million who have limited access to financial institutions. Professor Yunus will use the visit to tell of his quest to harness free market power to solve the problems of poverty, hunger and inequality across the world, suggesting if the dynamics of capitalism and social enterprise could be applied properly, poverty could be better tackled by the people experiencing it. Glasgow Caledonian University's inaugural Magnus Magnusson Lecture will take place from 2.00 p.m. in the Saltire Centre on the afternoon of Monday, December 1, 2008
Glasgow Caledonian University Magnusson Fellowship Lecture 2010: Dr Will Hutton
No full textThis is the second Magnusson Fellowship Lecture, given by Dr Will Hutton, Executive Vice Chair of The Work Foundation. The title of the lecture is 'Them and Us - Politics, Greed and Inequality - Why We Need a Fair Society'. The Magnusson Lecture took place on Tuesday, October 19, 2010, in the new GCU London Spitalfields campus, which opened in September 2010. This is the second of special lectures which have been established in memory of the University's late Chancellor Magnus Magnusson KBE, who believed passionately in Glasgow Caledonian University's mission to prepare its graduates as dynamic global citizens and to use its academic expertise for the social and economic good of Scotland and the wider world. The audience included policymakers, the business community, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and academics. Successful outcomes of the inaugural Fellowship lecture, given by Professor Muhammad Yunus in December 2008 include the new Grameen Caledonian College of Nursing which opened in Dhaka, with its first forty students drawn from Grameen families across Bangladesh, and the appointment by GCU of Professor Cam Donaldson to the worlds first Yunus Chair in Social Business and Health. In his new book, Professor Yunus refers to the ambitious outcomes of the first Magnusson Fellowship meeting and Lecture, and their potential for the future

Design and configuration of neuro mechanical networks
No full textNeuro mechanical network (NMN) is a new concept of adaptronic character. The governing idea is to include geometry, topology, load carrying, energy transfer, actuating, sensing and control of a machine in one single mathematical state model and, thereby, enable a formulation of the design and configuration problem as an optimization problem. We have focused our attention on a type of NMN consisting of what we call active trusses. For these, we have established a state model and given a design optimization problem from which we have obtained numerical solutions. These solutions show that the approach has the possibility to suggest new families of designs that are superior to those of classical passive trusses. We also indicate how activation may result in singularities, the treatment of which is, so far, essentially an open problem.The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com: Johan Magnusson, Anders Klarbring and Magnus Sethson , Design and configuration of neuro mechanical networks, 2009, STRUCTURAL AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY OPTIMIZATION, (37), 4, 335-350. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00158-008-0241-8 Copyright: Springer Science Business Media http://www.springerlink.com/</p
