An Oral History Interview with Yuval Ishai
No full textInterview is with Yuval Ishai, Professor of Computer Science at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology conducted by Gerardo Con Diaz, University of California, Davis.This oral history interview is sponsored by NSF 2202484, “Mining a Usable Past: Perspectives, Paradoxes, and Possibilities with Security and Privacy,” at the Charles Babbage Institute, University of Minnesota. The interview is with Yuval Ishai, Professor of Computer Science at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. Ishai discusses his upbringing between the United States and Israel, his early academic interests in mathematics and theoretical computer science, and his graduate education at the Weizmann Institute. He reflects on his contributions to secure multiparty computation, his collaborations with U.S.-based researchers, and the evolution of cryptography as a scientific and practical field. He also discusses his perspectives on academic publishing, the structure of the cryptography community, and the long-term stakes of cryptographic research for privacy and security.National Science FoundationIshai, Yuval.

Talking about Bordering. Prof. Nira Yuval-Davis interviewed by Prof. Louise Ryan, 15 July 2019
No full textIn the summer of 2019 as the UK was in the midst of heated Brexit debates and Theresa May’s minority government clung on to power, Professor Louise Ryan interviewed Professor Nira Yuval-Davis about her recent book Bordering (Yuval-Davis, Wemyss and Cassidy 2019). Although things have changed in some significant ways since that interview, for example Boris Johnson has now replaced Theresa May as Prime Minister, and won a landslide election victory in December, 2019, and the controversial Brexit Bill was passed by the British Parliament, many of the issues about borders and bordering remain extremely relevant today. The current pandemic has not only revealed Britain’s dependence on migrant workers, especially in health and social care, but also exposed health inequalities among migrants and ethnic minorities. As the post-Brexit immigration landscape begins to emerge, the analysis of Nira Yuval Davis remains as pertinent as ever

Seeker of Truth: An evening of Sufi, Hebrew, and Christian Devotional music, poetry, and stories by the Yuval Ron Ensemble
No full textThe Yuval Ron Ensemble, led by Oscar winning Israeli composer Yuval Ron (music for “West Bank Story”), includes Jewish, Christian, and Muslim musicians who endeavor to overcome national, racial, religious, and cultural divides by uniting the music and dance of the diverse peoples of the Middle East into a unique and inspiring mystical musical celebration.
Formed in 1999, the ensemble was chosen to be featured in PBS Holiday Celebration TV specials, was featured four times at the World Festival of Sacred Music in Los Angeles, and was honored with the Los Angeles Treasures Award and the Lincoln/Standing Bear Gold Medal from the City of Lincoln, Nebraska, in appreciation of its efforts for peace and justice worldwide..In 2005 the ensemble performed at an International Peace Festival in South Korea and in 2007 it was featured in the International Oud Festival in Jerusalem as part of the Peace Mission Tour to Israel. In 2008 the ensemble headlined the benefit concert for the Dalai Lama\u27s initiative Seeds of Compassion and, invited by the King of Morocco, in 2009 it performed at the International Sacred Music Festival of Fez.In 2010 the ensemble toured in Spain, performing a unique collaboration with the Gypsy Flamenco artists of Andalusia in concerts in Seville, Jerez, and Madrid. In 2011, invited by the Intercultural Forum of the Association of Writers and Journalists of Turkey, the ensemble gave a concert for peace in Istanbul and led a Peace Mission Tour throughout Turkey.The ensemble has been featured on the National Public Radio Echoes and Hearts of Space programs and has had residencies at numerous schools, including John Hopkins University, Middlebury College, UCLA, and Yale University. It has also performed numerous benefit concerts to support organizations that promote peace and help the disadvantaged. The ensemble’s CDs Under the Olive Tree, Tree of Life, and Seeker of Truth have become favorites with world music lovers around the world.

Twenty-Two New Approximate Proof Labeling Schemes
Full text linkIntroduced by Korman, Kutten, and Peleg (Distributed Computing 2005), a proof labeling scheme (PLS) is a system dedicated to verifying that a given configuration graph satisfies a certain property. It is composed of a centralized prover, whose role is to generate a proof for yes-instances in the form of an assignment of labels to the nodes, and a distributed verifier, whose role is to verify the validity of the proof by local means and accept it if and only if the property is satisfied. To overcome lower bounds on the label size of PLSs for certain graph properties, Censor-Hillel, Paz, and Perry (SIROCCO 2017) introduced the notion of an approximate proof labeling scheme (APLS) that allows the verifier to accept also some no-instances as long as they are not "too far" from satisfying the property.
The goal of the current paper is to advance our understanding of the power and limitations of APLSs. To this end, we formulate the notion of APLSs in terms of distributed graph optimization problems (OptDGPs) and develop two generic methods for the design of APLSs. These methods are then applied to various classic OptDGPs, obtaining twenty-two new APLSs. An appealing characteristic of our APLSs is that they are all sequentially efficient in the sense that both the prover and the verifier are required to run in (sequential) polynomial time. On the negative side, we establish "combinatorial" lower bounds on the label size for some of the aforementioned OptDGPs that demonstrate the optimality of our corresponding APLSs. For other OptDGPs, we establish conditional lower bounds that exploit the sequential efficiency of the verifier alone (under the assumption that NP ≠ co-NP) or that of both the verifier and the prover (under the assumption that P ≠ NP, with and without the unique games conjecture)
Konsep Posthumanisme Yuval Noah Harari
Full text linkKemajuan teknlogi dan bio-teknlogi telah membuat manusia seolah tenggelam dalam arus pusaran yang kuat. Pada zaman ini manusia sedang menghadapi tantangan eksistensi diri sendiri akibat dari percepatan kemajuan teknologi. Hal ini dapat mengubah manusia menjadi makhluk yang sangat berbeda bukan hanya secara fisik, namun juga secara kognitif dan emosi. Perubahan paradigma eksistensial ini menimbulkan berbagai pertanyaan filosofis, etis, dan sosial tentang arti hidup, tujuan hidup, serta peran dan identitas manusia di era yang semakin terkoneksi secara teknologi ini.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan analisis terhadap pemikiran Yuval Noah Harari tentang transformasi manusia menuju era post-manusia. Penelitian ini akan menyelidiki dampak dan implikasi dari pandangan Harari terhadap pemahaman manusia tentang eksistensi dan tujuan hidup di masa depan. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga akan memperhatikan aspek-aspek etis, sosial, dan filosofis yang mungkin muncul akibat perubahan paradigma eksistensial ini. Atas dasar itulah peneliti mengambil penelitian dengan judul “KONSEP POSTHUMANISME YUVAL NOAH HARARI”
Jenis karya ilmiah ini adalah deskripsi kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode kepustakaan. Bahan utama yang menjadi rujukan dalam penulisan ini berasal dari karya-karya buku yang ditulis oleh Yuval Noah Harari. Selain itu, penulis juga meneliti teks-teks sekunder dalam bentuk buku dan artikel jurnal yang membahas topik yang menjadi fokus penelitian. Semua sumber sekunder tersebut telah diakses dan dipahami dengan cermat oleh penulis untuk mendukung tujuan penelitian yang sesuai dengan tema utama yang dibahas.
Bertolak dari gagasan Yuval Noah Harari tentang “Konsep Posthumanisme” penulis akhirnya menemukan beberapa hal sebagai berikut : Pertama, teknologi menghadirkan hal baru bagi kehidupan manusia, Khususnya dalam relasi dan interaksi manusia dengan teknologi. Kedua, kemajuan teknologi telah membawa manusia menuju transformasi yang sangat signifikan sehingga mengakibatkan terjadinya dehumanisasi. Ketiga perkembangan teknologi seperti kecerdasan buatan dan dataisme juga telah mengakibatkan runtuhnya nilai-nilai spiritual manusi
