Inviting you to participate in an exciting and meaningful conference in Cambodia (Jan 3-4, 2019) (Many scholarships available)
by samchu 25 Nov '18

25 Nov '18

Dear All, I am a Co-Chair of the Association for Information Science and Technology / ASIS&T (Asia-Pacific Chapter) and an associate professor at The University of Hong Kong (Faculty of Education). Our Association is holding a conference in Cambodia with “Effective Learning in Low-Tech Information Environments” as the theme (https://www.asist.org/events/regional-meetings/asiapacificregionalconferenc…). The conference is organized and supported by a team of esteemed international experts in Information Science and Learning/Education Sciences from 19 different countries. We believe that the conference can help Cambodia to move forward by applying knowledge and techniques in the two disciplines for the benefits of the Cambodian learners, as well as learners in other developing countries. This conference aims to attract 200+ attendees from around the world, including professors, researchers, teachers, librarians, policy makers, and students. Some famous scholars have agreed to attend and give keynote speeches and workshops at the conference. Over 50 presentations and workshops have already been organized. In addition, two special panel discussions will be held during the conference: (1). “How Information Science and Learning Sciences may help Cambodia move forward in the 21st Century” (targeting Higher Education); (2). “How to help students learn effectively and happily in the Industrial Revolution 4.0”(targeting kindergarten, primary and secondary education). A number of distinguished guests from Cambodia and other countries will be joining the discussions. What works in Cambodia will likely work in other less developed countries as well. Other conference highlights include: (1). a workshop titled “Publishing in high quality journals” that targets junior researchers and PhD students who want to develop the ability to conceive an impactful research, to conduct the research properly, and to write up an interesting article to maximize its chance at publishing in a high quality journal; (2). a seminar titled “Developing students’ reading and writing skills through gamified learning and digital story telling” focused on helping teachers and librarians make good use of gamified learning and digital storytelling to facilitate students’ development in their reading and writing abilities; (3). An’Unconference’ on ‘Literacy for Academic Audiences’ that aims to bring the unstructured conversations people usually have between conference sessions into the conference itself (open to all interested parties but is especially relevent to academic audiences). Apart from attending the conference, you will have many chances to enjoy delicious Cambodian food and the pleasant Cambodian weather. Compared to many places in the world, Cambodia is a safe place for visitors (https://www.asist.org/events/regional-meetings/asiapacificregionalconferenc…). You also have the chance to experience traditional cultural and musical performances, performed by Cambodian students, which will take place during the Conference Dinner on the first day. After the conference, you are invited to (1). Join a tour to the famous historical site Angkor Wat in Siem Reap which has triumphed across the centuries to emerge as the world’s top tourism landmark in TripAdvisor’s Traveler’s Choice awards – for the second time since 2015. Lonely Planet, another travel site, gave the temples of Angkor the top spot in 2014. Angkor Wat is also ranked very high on Google (rated 4.7/5 on average by 7,762 Google reviewers) (2). Join a team of students and professionals in implementing a new way of voluntary teaching for Cambodian students (from kindergarten to secondary), to learn English happily and effectively. A tentative conference program is available at https://goo.gl/yfkzk9 Please note that the deadline to avail the early-bird discount is December 3, 2018. The regular registration round will subsequently continue until December 20, 2018. To encourage students to join ASIS&T and this conference, a 50% discount on the registration fee is available for ASIS&T student members on a first come first served basis. The first 20+ early-bird student member registrants will now only pay around $40 USD to join the conference (after joining ASIS&T as a member). Please register as soon as possible at https://www.asist.org/events/regional-meetings/asiapacificregionalconferenc… Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding the conference. I look forward to meeting you at this wonderful conference! (Sorry for cross posting.)

As current research focuses on providing new computing capabilities using disruptive approaches, quantum computing represents a promising strategy that offers new capabilities in secure computation, trusted data storage, and efficient applications. This article discusses the growing awareness that quantum computing can impact a broad variety of consumer concerns and applications. Full Paper <https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8482518> *What is the future of office spaces?* A lot of us spend long stretches in the office, but outdated design could be damaging our wellbeing and mental health. What’s more, it’s killing our productivity. One study found that office workers spend more time sitting than pensioners, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes and even cancer. That’s why forward-looking designers are finding ways to build spaces that heal rather than hurt us. Going beyond the already ubiquitous standing desks and social “breakout sofas,” the office of the future is healthy, harmonious and happy. Here’s how it’s beginning to take shape.

The year 2016 started with a bang with the ‘Startup India, Stand up India’ initiative rolled out by the government. It was the year when cockroaches dominated the discussions over unicorns, when we spoke about checks and regulations rather than competitiveness, when startups’ hiring and firing made news more often than ever, when an announcement impacted the whole startup ecosystem like none other before, and when the ecosystem detected the weather change. We told more than 10,000 stories of passion, success, failure, determination, perseverance, honour, grit, pain, and learning in 2016. Full Post <https://yourstory.com/2016/12/most-read-stories-on-yourstory/> *How to Engineer Biology* Because biology is the result of evolution and not human development, bringing engineering principles to it is guaranteed to fail. Or so goes the argument behind the “Grove fallacy,” first invoked by drug industry observer Derek Lowe in a critique of Intel CEO Andy Grove in 2007. After being diagnosed with prostate cancer, Grove found himself frustrated by what he described as the “lack of real output” in pharma especially as compared to the drive of Moore’s Law in his own industry. This was a naive and invalid criticism from Silicon Valley outsiders, Lowe argued, because “medical research is different [and harder] than semiconductor research”—and “that’s partly because we didn’t build them. Making the things [like semiconductors] from the ground up is a real advantage when it comes to understanding them, but we started studying life after it had a few billion years head start.” So the very idea of engineering biology by nature is doomed to fail, he further wrote, given that “billions of years of evolutionary tinkering have led to something so complex and so strange that it can make the highest human-designed technology look like something built with sticks.” But we’ve seen incredible advances in the world of biology and tech the last few years, from AI diagnosing cancer more accurately than humans do, to editing genes with CRISPR. So is it still true that the idea of bringing an engineering mindset to bio is another case of starry-eyed technologist solutionism? It is absolutely true that we’re very much in the process of discovering biology, still untangling the “technical debt” of evolution. Just when one thinks one understands the biology, another layer of the onion appears. It’s also dangerously easy to break biology, with far greater consequences than broken code—even single-point mutations can lead to disease, and extremely small quantities of certain chemicals can have disastrous side effects. Many of the failures of medicine and especially drug design stem from the complexity and unpredictability of biology. But the fact that we are still discovering biology doesn’t mean that we can’t design. We can engineer the tools we use to manage biology.

It is based on two years of research as well as multiple stakeholder consultations. *How the smartphone affected an entire generation of kids* As someone who researches generational differences, I find one of the most frequent questions I’m asked is “What generation am I in?” If you were born before 1980, that’s a relatively easy question to answer: the Silent Generation was born between 1925 and 1945; baby boomers were born between 1946 and 1964; Gen X followed (born between 1965 and 1979). Next come millennials, born after 1980. But where do millennials end, and when does the next generation begin? Until recently, I (and many others) thought the last millennial birth year would be 1999 – today’s 18-year-olds. However, that changed a few years ago, when I started to notice big shifts in teens’ behavior and attitudes in the yearly surveys of 11 million young people that I analyze for my research. Around 2010, teens started to spend their time much differently from the generations that preceded them. Then, around 2012, sudden shifts in their psychological well-being began to appear. Together, these changes pointed to a generational cutoff around 1995, which meant that the kids of this new, post-millennial generation were already in college. These teens and young adults all have one thing in common: Their childhood or adolescence coincided with the rise of the smartphone. Full Post <https://theconversation.com/how-the-smartphone-affected-an-entire-generatio…> *Ten simple rules for collaboratively writing a multi-authored paper* Science is increasingly done in large teams [1], making it more likely that papers will be written by several authors from different institutes, disciplines, and cultural backgrounds. A small number of “Ten simple rules” papers have been written on collaboration [2, 3] and on writing [4, 5] but not on combining the two. Collaborative writing with multiple authors has additional challenges, including varied levels of engagement of coauthors, provision of fair credit through authorship or acknowledgements, acceptance of a diversity of work styles, and the need for clear communication. Miscommunication, a lack of leadership, and inappropriate tools or writing approaches can lead to frustration, delay of publication, or even the termination of a project. To provide insight into collaborative writing, we use our experience from the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON) [6] to frame 10 simple rules for collaboratively writing a multi-authored paper. We consider a collaborative multi-authored paper to have three or more people from at least two different institutions. A multi-authored paper can be a result of a single discrete research project or the outcome of a larger research program that includes other papers based on common data or methods. The writing of a multi-authored paper is embedded within a broader context of planning and collaboration among team members. Our recommended rules include elements of both the planning and writing of a paper, and they can be iterative, although we have listed them in numerical order. It will help to revisit the rules frequently throughout the writing process. With the 10 rules outlined below, we aim to provide a foundation for writing multi-authored papers and conducting exciting and influential science.
