Case study 1

Inappropriate use of Social media

Following the soccer game, the team was in the locker room gathering their belongings. Julie decided to take a quick shower since she was heading to a friend’s house to study for an exam she had the following day. Annie, the team captain, thought it would be funny to use her camera phone to take a photo of Julie in the shower. She quietly entered the shower area, and took a quick photo of Julie. Annie runs back to the team bellowing with laughter.

Case study: 2

An internal investigation at UCD does not uphold the student newspaper’s allegation of inappropriate conduct on a Facebook group chat.

Last week, the university newspaper College Tribune stated that “a private Facebook group chat with as many as 200 members is active among male students in UCD, in which members share and rate stories and pictures of girls they have slept with…The alleged group is understood to be made up of predominantly Agricultural Science students”.

The UCD investigation has found the claims to be unsubstantiated.

On publication of the article on 2 February, the university instigated an investigation. This was to investigate the circumstances and veracity of the report published in the College Tribune; to identify any students victimized by inappropriate social media; to identify the existence of the named site or other similar sites and to identify any students involved in posting inappropriate images; to determine any illegal activity and to determine whether there had been breaches of the student code.

Following the investigation, the specific allegations made in the article were not upheld.

The chair of the investigation, Professor Mark Rogers, Deputy President and Registrar,

The chair of the investigation, Professor Mark Rogers, Deputy President and Registrar, said: “Although this investigation is concluded, I am not so naive as to believe that the university community is immune to this type of activity.

“I have reminded all students that if any of them has been affected by the inappropriate sharing of private information on social media, the student advisers and wider university support services are available to them.

In addition, Mr. Rogers asked that any student or member of the university community who sees illicit and/or explicit material on university-related sites should immediately bring this to the attention of the university authorities and/or the Gardaí.

rape-the cold hard facts

.2.2. Rape-The Cold Hard Facts

Q.2.2 Rape the Cold Hard Facts

Rape is a violation of human right through sexual abuse, where a right for a person to say “no “has been ignored. Rape is ruining many lives.

Solution to this pragmatic problem:

Education: Community needs to be educated raising awareness to them about to this evil act.

Especially children who are mostly the victims of Rape.

Speak up: Community need to be encouraged to speak up.

Support: Community needs to be encouraged to support the victims of rape.

digital divide

1.2 Impact of digital divide on social capital

Digital divide refers to economic and social unfairness towards getting access concerning information and communication technologies which varies from country to country etc.  Whereas social capital is the joint value of all social networks and the preferences that arise from these networks in assisting each other.

Impact of digital divide to social capital occurs when other people cannot access or have limited access to social networks, occurs when other people resist change to gain access to technology, not being exposed technology.

Ramification the of, will result in a person not being part of the global economy. Lacking information on and struggling to compete in digital world.

aspects of intelligence

Aspects of intelligence

Interpersonal Intelligence (People Smart”)

Interpersonal intelligence is the ability to understand and interact effectively with others.  It involves effective verbal and nonverbal communication, the ability to note distinctions among others, sensitivity to the moods and temperaments of others, and the ability to entertain multiple perspectives.  Teachers, social workers, actors, and politicians all exhibit interpersonal intelligence.  Young adults with this kind of intelligence are leaders among their peers, are good at communicating, and seem to understand others’ feelings and motives.

 Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence (“Body Smart”)

Bodily kinesthetic intelligence is the capacity to manipulate objects and use a variety of physical skills.  This intelligence also involves a sense of timing and the perfection of skills through mind–body union.  Athletes, dancers, surgeons, and craftspeople exhibit well-developed bodily kinesthetic intelligence.

 Linguistic Intelligence (Word Smart)

Linguistic intelligence is the ability to think in words and to use language to express and appreciate complex meanings.  Linguistic intelligence allows us to understand the order and meaning of words and to apply meta-linguistic skills to reflect on our use of language.  Linguistic intelligence is the most widely shared human competence and is evident in poets, novelists, journalists, and effective public speakers.  Young adults with this kind of intelligence enjoy writing, reading, telling stories or doing crossword puzzles.

Intra-personal Intelligence (Self Smart”)

Intra-personal intelligence is the capacity to understand oneself and one’s thoughts and feelings, and to use such knowledge in planning and denigration one’s life.  Intro-personal intelligence involves not only an appreciation of the self, but also of the human condition.  It is evident in psychologist, spiritual leaders, and philosophers.  These young adults may be shy.  They are very aware of their own feelings and are self-motivated.

internet of things

The Internet of Things is the network of physical objects—devices, vehicles, buildings and other items embedded with sensors, and network connectivity that enables these objects to collect and exchange data The IoT allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure creating opportunities for more direct integration of the physical world into computer-based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, acuracy and economic benefit when Iota is augmented with sensors and actuators, the technology becomes an instance of the more general class of cyber-physical systems, which also encompasses technologies such as , smart homes, intelligent transportation and smart cities. Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to inter-operate within the existing In infrastructure. Experts estimate that the Iota will consist of almost 50 billion objects by 2020

British entrepreneur first coined the term in 1999 while working at Auto-ID Labs (originally called Auto-ID centers, referring to a global network of objects connected to radio-frequency identification, or RFID). Typically, Iota is expected to offer advanced connectivity of devices, systems, and services that goes beyond (M2M) communications and covers a variety of protocols, domains, and applications The interconnection of these embedded devices (including smart objects), is expected to usher in automation in nearly all fields, while also enabling advanced applications like a smart grid and expanding to the areas such as 

"Things," in the Iota sense, can refer to a wide variety of devices such as heart monitoring implants, biochip transponders on farm animals, electric clams in coastal waters,automobiles with built-in sensors, DNA analysis devices for environmental/food/pathogen monitoring or field operation devices that assist firefighters in rescue operations. Legal scholars suggest to look at "Things" as an "inextricable mixture of hardware, software, data and service". These devices collect useful data with the help of various existing technologies and then autonomously flow the data between other devices Current market examples include systems and washer/dryers that use Wi-Fi for remote monitoring.

As well as the expansion of Internet-connected automation into a plethora of new application areas, Iota is also expected to generate large amounts of data from diverse locations, with the consequent necessity for quick aggregation of the data, and an increase in the need to index, store, and process such data more effectively. Iota is one of the platforms of today's Smart City, and Smart Energy Management Systems.
