Facebook, Community Learning and Authority
No full textThis presentation reviews ongoing activity in researching villager reactions and preferences in using Facebook as part of the PROTIC (Participatory Research and Ownership with Technology, Information and Change) project in two different areas in Bangladesh. This is a research and development collaboration between Monash University and Oxfam. Findings about villager and community preferences, based on analysis of posts, including photos, text, likes/tags and comments over a one-year period will be discussed.
The use of Facebook by a village community raises many issues:
* The complexities of implementing community-based research in a traditionally-oriented, gendered, traditional, socially and institutionally hierarchical environment.
* The limitations of Facebook as a research platform despite its huge reach.
* Issues of power, control and authority as they play out in such a platform as Facebook.
* The representation and presentation of 'community' in a Facebook group for the purposes of demonstrating innovation with technology.
* The use of Facebook to demonstrate community competency with ICTs

Communities and testing for COVID-19
No full textThe response to the COVID-19 epidemic requires people to undertake actions such as mask-wearing or vaccination that also confer benefits to the whole community, and therefore, are akin to public good contributions. This is the case also for participation to the mass testing that took place between November 18th and 25th, 2020 in the South Tyrol region of Italy, where 361,781 out of 500,607 (72.3%) eligible residents volunteered to take a COVID-19 rapid antigen test. We examine the community characteristics that are associated with higher testing rates. Our findings point to a number of key community determinants of people’s willingness to volunteer. Convenience and social capital were important factors. Beyond that, socioeconomic status and religiosity were also both positively related to greater testing, while childhood vaccinations refusal rates show a negative relationship

Strategies for Computing Minimal Free Resolutions
No full textIn the present paper we study algorithms based on the theory of Gröbner bases for
computing free resolutions of modules over polynomial rings. We propose a technique
which consists in the application of special selection strategies to the Schreyer algorithm. The resulting algorithm is efficient and, in the graded case, allows a straightforward minimalization algorithm. These techniques generalize to factor rings, skew commutative rings, and some non-commutative rings. Finally, the proposed approach is compared with other algorithms by means of an implementation developed in the new system Macaulay2

New Technologies, Ageing and Social Well-being in a South-Italian Context
No full textThe present paper questions two assumptions which concern the relationships between elderly people and technologies: that the impact of new technologies would be by definition positive for their well-being, and that the elderly suffer digital divide because they lack interest in and because they do not have the needed cognitive capacities to adjust to these new technologies. In order to address these assumptions, this paper investigates how elderly people socially construct the meaning of the Internet and mobile phones and how their social representations are related to their perceived social well-being. A questionnaire including free association tasks and well-being measures and collecting information on the practices of use of these technologies was administered to 100 elderly people living in small- and medium-sized villages in the region of Puglia in southern Italy. The results indicate that the relationship between the social representation of new technologies and perceived social well-being is not automatically positive
Letter from J.M. Stillman to John Muir, 1897 Jan 25.
No full text[letterhead]Jan 25 97My dear Mr. MuirYour kind and appreciative note on the Tehipite article is at hand. I am glad you are pleased with it, and am also glad you find it too short rather than too long. I realize with astonishment the remarkable feat of your first trip to Tehipite and back in those days without food. I am sure I never was capable of such a feat even if I could have known the way thoroughly. I should probably have strayed widely from the course. I shall look forward sometime before long to the pleasure of visiting you at Martinez when opportunity offers to a busy man, and will give you due warning of my threatened invasionSincerely yoursJ M Stillman02226https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/jmcl/26263/thumbnail.jp
