ECSS Talk

What is Cybercrime and what do we do about?

A guest lecture by Professor David S.Wall from the University of Durham. This talk will explore the way that networked technology has transformed criminal behaviour. The first part will map out cybercrimes and identify the challenges they pose for both criminologists and also regulators. The second part will show that cybercrimes are informational, networked and global. In this section it will also be shown that cybercrimes are highly disorganised forms of offending when compared to the organisation of more 'traditional' crimes, but display some new organisational logics of their own. The third part of the talk will illustrate how the 'culture of fear' that has arisen around cybercrime has placed demands upon government and police - demands that, for reasons related to the distinct nature of cybercrimes, are hard to resolve. The fourth and final part will look at the new policing arrangements that are designed, it is argued here, to close the reassurance gap.

Introductory Physical Chemistry Lecture 1

These lectures are designed to show new students different lecturing styles they will encounter at Southampton University. This lecture is in the style of 'Chalk and Talk'. The lectures also teach students some of the fundamental parts of physics which are relevant to the Physical Chemistry course. This will be particularly useful for students who have forgotten their GCSE physics! To view the videos, download the zip file and 'extract' the contents by right clicking on the folder.

La animación un subsector en crecimiento

En los últimos diez años, el subsector de la animación, tal y como lo designa el Gobierno, ha ido creciendo de manera progresiva. Es por esto que en el presente reportaje se hace un examen juicioso de cómo se encuentra este subsector actualmente, cuáles son sus ventajas, desventajas y los retos más grandes que debe enfrentar para que más adelante se pueda hablar de una industria de la animación en Colombia.

Personal Learning Environments and Digital Literacies

This is a version of a seminar/keynote talk I have given a few times. It argues that VLEs are no longer fit for purpose and that students should learn to take responsibility for their own toolsets.

Vim - The what, the why and the how

An introduction to Vim and why I use it. This resource is the precursor to a technical walk through and code along using vim. During the talk I handed round a cheat sheet for vim which can be found at http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/vimcheat.html You can find full documentation and a lot more indepth examples in the vim documentation: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/help.html

Open Government Data

Linked Open data – a platform for modern science, engineering, education and business. In the more recent talk, Sir Nigel Shadbolt speaks about "The Value of Openess - The Open Data Institute and Publically Funded Open Data" during the Natural History Museum of London Informatics Horizons event.

La actuación de la comunidad internacional frente a desastres naturales. Estudio de caso: cooperación internacional humanitaria y de emergencia hacia Japón luego del terremoto y tsunami del 11 de marzo de 2011

Este trabajo pretende mostrar el manejo que le da la comunidad internacional a los desastres naturales, a partir del envío de cooperación humanitaria y de emergencia. Para ello se realizó un estudio de caso de Japón y la ayuda que recibió luego del terremoto y tsunami del 11 de marzo de 2011. Esta tesis está dividida en 4 partes: el primer capítulo está dedicado a Japón, en este se pretende mostrar la vulnerabilidad del país frente a los desastres y los problemas que afrontó luego de la emergencia. El segundo capítulo está dedicado a la cooperación humanitaria y de emergencia, mostrando las distintas estrategias en esta materia que tienen los actores de la comunidad internacional. En el tercer capítulo se muestra el tipo de ayuda humanitaria que se envió a Japón por parte de la comunidad internacional frente a las principales necesidades y problemas de su población. Finalmente se establecen una serie de conclusiones que muestran como se dio el envío de la ayuda, si esta fue oportuna y si el manejo que dio el gobierno de Japón fue el adecuado.
