This session looks at the changing nature of society, both in the UK and globally, in an effort to identify new threats and opportunities relating to serious and organised crime. Social, political, demographic and technological changes will be described, and their implications for the nature and commission of serious and organised crime explored. The concept of globalisation will be explained, in addition to its causes and possible effects on crime and state reactions. This session will flag up particular types of threats (such as cybercrime) and will consider opportunities, both in terms of potential criminality but also state and private responses. Take away points The pervasiveness of technology and the speed of change requires us to revise our orthodox interpretations of crime and workable reactions. Inequalities and unevenness in the economy, politics, culture, and legal regulation contribute to criminality and threat levels. The public complicity in some serious and organised crime must be addressed.

Professor Dan Rubenstein Class of 1877 Professor of Zoology. Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Director, Program in African Studies. Princeton University Connecting With The Crowd Conference, London, 16 June 2017 Power to the People: Nature and science benefit when people are engaged Science is a special way of knowing. But it should not be limited to a professional class of highly educated and skilled people. The earliest naturalists were ordinary people interested in the workings of the world around them. They noticed and recorded abundance patterns of wild forms and noted changes in their status over time. But as the quest for understanding underlying mechanisms and patterns of causation grew and required the use of sophisticated equipment or mathematical modelling, everyday people interested in nature became divorced from a sophisticated science bent on identifying underlying rules. Ironically, today's sophisticated and accessible technological gadgets - from computers to cameras to drones and more - can become the tools that reconnect people with the natural world. Crowdsourcing the analysis of data has helped scientists find patterns that have eluded the cleverest of computer algorithms. Engaging the public via the web enhances people’s self worth and continues to be a great way for arm-chair naturalists to help scientists solve some thorny problems. Swarms of people armed with smartphones scour landscapes snapping pictures of buds bursting or butterflies alighting to help scientists chronicle plant and animal dynamics over spatial and temporal scales unimaginable in the past. While all these activities connect people with the environment and create new scientific knowledge, they are only a beginning. People should and can do much more. In my talk I will champion the notion that truly transforming people to heed the ‘Call of the Wild' and support science as a special way of knowing requires deepening partnerships between professional and amateur researchers. Mentoring volunteers will give them an appreciation of the important issues, the confidence to ask questions, the insights to frame problems and environmental voices to demand action. And when the voices become synchronized they will be hard to ignore, thus generating evidence-based environmental policy and fostering strong and enduring science-society relationships.

Citizen Science is hardly a new concept, but during the last decade it has seen a rise in both academic and popular interest for the topic. This trend is in part driven by an increased interest for open paradigms, as well as, Information Communication Technology (ICT) innovations such as smartphones, mobile Internet and cloud computing. This has given rise to the emergence of a growing and highly diverse crop of new – and often innovative – initiatives that are being, or could be, labelled as Citizen Science. Whilst there are often big differences between projects, for instance when it comes to power relations – “Who is working for who?” – or the determination of goals and outcomes – “Who is solving whose problems?” – there is hope that, at the very least, this rediscovery of citizen science might lead to a renewed mutual interest, and perhaps understanding, between scientists and the general public. Most citizen science initiatives are set in affluent areas of the world, and by and large they target an educated, or at least literate, public. Extreme Citizen Science aspires to extend the reach and potential of citizen science beyond this restricted context and is defined as: Extreme Citizen Science is a situated, bottom-up practice that takes into account local needs, practices and culture and works with broad networks of people to design and build new devices and knowledge creation processes that can transform the world. In this presentation, we are going to explore the various ExCiteS projects that span from the Arctic – where we aim to develop tools grounded in the needs of Yupik and Iñupiaq coastal subsistence hunters who are adapting to the rapidly changing climate – to the Congo basin rainforest – where we enable marginalised and forest communities to better to share their vast environmental knowledge more effectively locally and with other regional, national and global stakeholders. We aim to design, develop, evaluate and deploy a generic platform that enables people with no or limited literacy – in the strict and broader technological sense – to use smartphones and tablets to collect, share, and analyse (spatial) data along with a methodology for introducing, engaging and empowering marginalised communities to participate in and benefit from citizen science. The platform is and will be used in a variety of concrete projects, often related to environmental monitoring. Ultimately the goal is to let communities build so-called Community Memories: evolving, shared representations of the state of their environment, their relationship with it, and any threats it faces.

A subset of the presentation given by Susann Keohane & Nicola Palmarini at the SXSW 2016. http://schedule.sxsw.com/2016/events/event_PP48742 People are living longer. By 2040 there will be more elderly people than children for the first time in history. Roughly 10,000 Baby Boomers will turn 65 today and every day for the next 15 years. This is creating a societal crisis as many countries face the challenge of supporting an aging population. Accessible technology has a profound purpose. It reinvents the relationship between computers and humans and levels the playing field so that all people have equal access to the information they need for work and life. Accessible technology will create the most positive impact on an aging person’s quality of life.

Wizards are very useful for creating a good user experience. In all businesses, interactive sessions are most beneficial. To improve the user experience, wizards in Odoo provide an interactive session. For creating wizards, we can use transient models or abstract models. This gives features of a model class except the data storing. Transient and abstract models have permanent database persistence. For them, database tables are made, and the records in such tables are kept until they are specifically erased.
