The elevation of scientific discourse to a major component
in the project of modernity and the Eurocentrism inherent in the
Western scientific enterprise have aided both the development of
racial hierarchies and the creation of the long-enduring myth of
science as an impartial, pure and value-free endeavour, superior
to other peoples’ modes of thinking. It is also to be argued that it
is one thing to ‘discover’, identify, categorise and classify plants,
beetles as well as peoples, but quite another to transform such
categories and classifications into hierarchies that suggest
stratification in terms of social and moral inferiority. The process
of categorisation would then not in itself be normative, but rather
evaluative attributions would be based upon moral and social
preferences, subjective value judgements and the striving for
political power.
The conundrum of the conceptual status and the
socio-political consequences of the Enlightenment has not been
resolved satisfactorily. Yet there now exists agreement on some
parameters. The consensus is that scientific racism, racial
medicine and colonial rule were for a time closely linked,
variously reinforced and justified each other. Claims to racial
superiority and Western scientific and medical hegemony are
seen to have emerged alongside each other in the wake of the
Enlightenment, culminating eventually not only in scientifically
based racism in the nineteenth century and racial medicine in the
twentieth century, but also in the perceived enhancement and
legitimisation of colonial expansion by reference to medical and
scientific progress. The interrelatedness of race, science and
medicine, and its extension to the colonial realm during the
nineteenth century, in particular, therefore constitutes one major
focus for work and research.

Artificial Intelligence in Accounting and Auditing
Federica De Santis
27 October 2024
The labor-intensive and repetitive nature of auditing tasks, combined with strict compliance requirements, make auditing an
ideal area for the integration of digital technologies like artificial intelligence (Al). Al offers significant potential for auditors, enabling
them to accelerate auditing tasks, minimize human errors and bias, overcome sampling limitations, examine entire transaction
populations, and lower audit costs. Nonetheless, similar to any innovation in professional practices, the adoption of Al in auditing
poses unique challenges for both professionals and policymakers. These challenges mainly pertain to auditors' readiness for
technological advancements, their willingness to adapt their approach to audit tasks, and the ethical considerations of utilizing Al in
their work.

The implications of a rapidly changing information ecosystem on how governments communicate
Public communication does not happen in a vacuum: the context in which it occurs is core to understanding the challenges and opportunities it faces. Indeed, the analysis of its role for policy and governance mechanisms is made urgent by shifts in the information ecosystem that have transformed the function over the past decade and raised important implications for democracy. The technological revolution that has connected the world through social media has given rise to online social movements and simplified the creation and sharing of content and data. Such changes have also facilitated, however, the spread of mis- and disinformation, contributed to undermining the role of traditional information gatekeepers, and have fundamentally changed how governments communicate. Whereas until the early 2000s a so-called “one-to-many” model of communication prevailed, this has shifted today to a “many-to-many” model. Anyone can be both a producer and a consumer of information, and anybody with an internet connection has the potential to engage with and influence public debates.
Traditionally, governments had largely relied on traditional media to amplify official messages to reach citizens. With the advent of digital channels, this approach has gradually lost its primacy to direct institution-to-individual communication via online platforms that bypass traditional media. This shift has also enabled a broader scope for governments to communicate about more diverse policy issues targeted to more specific audiences, as traditional media tend to concentrate on “newsworthy” subjects and political affairs, often under-reporting less mainstream issues. The unprecedented volumes of data that promise to make communication ever more precise, combined with the direct, unmediated access to vast and diverse publics, are some of the opportunities and challenges that have emerged.
At the same time, digital platforms have altered patterns in eople’s consumption of information and raised demands on their attention. The latter has become a resource that technology companies sell to advertisers. In turn, the design of online platforms and their algorithms, and the massive increase in the volume of information served to increase competition for what content people pay attention to, while making focus more superficial. As governments compete with all other information sources for the public’s attention, cognitive and psychological factors such as information overload can undermine the efficacy of even well-crafted content.
Online and social media have also heightened the pace at which information travels, accelerated the news cycle, and enabled a wider range of actors to drive discussions on policy issues. Taken together, digital technologies have produced a complex information ecosystem that has made it more challenging for official messages to “cut through the noise”. Cumulatively, these changes require considerable adjustments to practices, public officials’ skills, and even to how communication is organised, if governments are to make the most of the digital transformation and ensure it can promote better governance. […]
The ability for governments to use the communication function to promote constructive democratic spaces is critically threatened by widespread mis- and disinformation. When falsehoods spread extensively and rapidly on issues of public policy, official messages are drowned out, creating significant challenges for public communicators to get key information out to all groups in society. Whether in the context of elections, health crises, migration or climate change, mis- and disinformation cast evidence and facts into doubt, sow distrust, and work against policy goals.

crunching beneath my feet.
With each step, I sank a few centimetres, forcing
my foot to work twice as hard. I kept falling
behind, switching from flip-flops to water shoes
and finally bare feet as the sand shifted from soft
powder to a rock-hard surface baking in the heat.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle.
A Scandal in Bohemia (Part II)
“Wedlock suits you,” he remarked. “I think, Watson, that you
have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.”
“Seven!” I answered.
“Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I
fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell
me that you intended to go into harness.”
“Then, how do you know?”
“I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting
yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and
careless servant girl?”
“My dear Holmes,” said I, “this is too much.
You would certainly have been burned, had you lived a few centuries ago. It is true that I had a country walk on Thursday and
came home in a dreadful mess, but as I have changed my clothes
I can’t imagine how you deduce it. As to Mary Jane, she is incorrigible, and my wife has given her notice, but there, again, I
fail to see how you work it out.”
He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.
“It is simplicity itself,” said he; “my eyes tell me that on the inside
of your left shoe, just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is
scored by six almost parallel cuts. Obviously they have been caused by someone who has very carelessly scraped round the edges
of the sole in order to remove crusted mud from it. Hence, you
see, my double deduction that you had been out in vile weather,
and that you had a particularly malignant boot-slitting specimen
of the London slavey. As to your practice, if a gentleman walks
into my rooms smelling of iodoform, with a black mark of nitrate
of silver upon his right forefinger, and a bulge on the right side
of his top hat to show where he has secreted his stethoscope,
I must be dull, indeed, if I do not pronounce him to be an active
member of the medical profession.”

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle.
A Scandal in Bohemia (Part I)
I had seen little of Holmes lately. My marriage had drifted
us away from each other. My own complete happiness, and the
home-centred interests which rise up around the man who first
finds himself master of his own establishment, were sufficient to
absorb all my attention, while Holmes, who loathed every form
of society with his whole Bohemian soul, Blank I in our lodgings
in Baker Street, buried among his old books, and alternating from
week to week between cocaine and ambition, the drowsiness of
the drug, and the fierce energy of his own keen nature. He was
still, as ever, deeply attracted by the study of crime, and occupied
his immense faculties and extraordinary powers of observation
in following out those clues, and clearing up those mysteries
which had been abandoned as hopeless by the official police.
From time to time I Blank II some vague account of his doings:
of his summons to Odessa in the case of the Trepoff murder, of
his clearing up of the singular tragedy of the Atkinson brothers
at Trincomalee, and finally of the mission which he had accomplished so delicately and successfully for the reigning family of
Holland. Beyond these signs of his activity, however, which I
merely shared with all the readers of the daily press, I knew little
of my former friend and companion.
One night – it was on the twentieth of March, 1888 – I was
returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned
to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street.
As I Blank III the well-remembered door, which must always
be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark
incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire
to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his
extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even
as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark
silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly,
eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped
behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his
attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again.
He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon
the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown
up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.
His manner was not effusive. It seldom was; but he was glad,
I think, to see me. With hardly a word spoken, but with a kindly eye, he waved me to an armchair, threw across his case of
cigars, and indicated a spirit case and a gasogene in the corner.
Then he stood before the fire and looked me over in his singular
introspective fashion.

Walking 3,000 or more steps a day may slow progression of Alzheimer’s, study says
Even modest amounts of daily exercise may slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease in older people who are at risk of developing the condition, researchers have said.
People are often encouraged to clock up 10,000 steps a day as part of a healthy routine, but scientists found 3,000 steps or more appeared to delay the brain changes and cognitive decline that Alzheimer’s patients experience.
Results from the 14-year-long study showed cognitive decline was delayed by an average of three years in people who walked 3,000 to 5,000 steps a day, and by seven years in those who managed 5,000 to 7,000 steps daily.
“We’re encouraging older people who are at risk of Alzheimer’s to consider making small changes to their activity levels, to build sustained habits that protect or benefit their brain and cognitive health,” said Dr Wai-Ying Yau, the first author on the study at Mass General Brigham hospital in Boston. Dementia affects an estimated 50 million people worldwide, with Alzheimer’s disease the most common cause.

older people to make small changes,” can be

READ THE TEXT AND ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION
Social Dimensions of Climate Change
Extreme weather events are deeply intertwined with global
patterns of inequality. The poorest and most vulnerable people
bear the brunt of climate change impacts yet contribute the least
to the crisis. As the impacts of climate change mount, millions of
vulnerable people face disproportionate challenges in terms of
loss of jobs; physical harm; disease; mental health effects; food
insecurity; access to water; migration and forced displacement;
loss of shelter, assets, and community ties, and other related risks.
Some people are more vulnerable to climate change than others.
For example, workers in sectors such as agriculture, fishing, and
tourism rely on natural resources that are particularly sensitive to
increasingly unpredictable weather and seasonal patterns.
Female-headed households, children, persons with
disabilities, Indigenous Peoples and ethnic minorities, landless
tenants, migrant workers, displaced persons, older people, and
other socially marginalized groups often have fewer financial and
other resources to cope with and recover from shocks which might
threaten their wellbeing and the wellbeing of their families. The
root causes of their vulnerability lie in a combination of their
geographical locations; their financial, socio-economic, cultural,
and social status; and their access to resources, services, and
decision-making power.
The poor are often not just among the most vulnerable to climate
change, but also disproportionately impacted by measures to
address it. These impacts can include increased costs of living, loss
of livelihoods, and limited access to resources and support
systems, which exacerbate existing inequalities and poverty
trends. In the absence of well-designed and citizen-centered
policies, efforts to tackle climate change can have unintended
consequences for the livelihoods of certain groups, including
placing a higher financial burden on poor households […].
While much progress has been made on the science and the types
of policies needed to support a transition to low carbon, climateresilient development, a challenge facing many countries is
engaging citizens who are concerned that they will be unfairly
impacted by climate policies. Citizen-centered programs play a
vital role in ensuring that resources are used efficiently. Engaging
people in shaping climate action is equally critical for achieving
lasting impact. This means ensuring transparency, access to
information, and active citizen engagement on climate risks and
green growth. Such involvement can help build public support to
reduce climate impacts, overcome behavioral and political barriers
to decarbonization, as well as foster both new ideas and a sense of
ownership over solutions.
Moreover, communities bring unique perspectives, skills, and a
wealth of knowledge to the challenge of strengthening resilience
and addressing climate change. They should be engaged as
partners in resilience-building rather than being regarded merely
as beneficiaries. Research and experience show that community
leaders can successfully set priorities, influence ownership, as well
as design and implement investment programs that are responsive
to their community’s own needs. A 2022 report by the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recognizes the
value of diverse forms of knowledge — such as scientific,
Indigenous, and local knowledge — in building climate resilience.
Innovations in the architecture of climate finance can connect
communities and marginalized groups to the policy, technical, and
financial assistance that they need for locally relevant and
effective development outcomes.

Social Dimensions of Climate Change
Extreme weather events are deeply intertwined with global
patterns of inequality. The poorest and most vulnerable people
bear the brunt of climate change impacts yet contribute the least
to the crisis. As the impacts of climate change mount, millions of
vulnerable people face disproportionate challenges in terms of
loss of jobs; physical harm; disease; mental health effects; food
insecurity; access to water; migration and forced displacement;
loss of shelter, assets, and community ties, and other related risks.
Some people are more vulnerable to climate change than others.
For example, workers in sectors such as agriculture, fishing, and
tourism rely on natural resources that are particularly sensitive to
increasingly unpredictable weather and seasonal patterns.
Female-headed households, children, persons with
disabilities, Indigenous Peoples and ethnic minorities, landless
tenants, migrant workers, displaced persons, older people, and
other socially marginalized groups often have fewer financial and
other resources to cope with and recover from shocks which might
threaten their wellbeing and the wellbeing of their families. The
root causes of their vulnerability lie in a combination of their
geographical locations; their financial, socio-economic, cultural,
and social status; and their access to resources, services, and
decision-making power.
The poor are often not just among the most vulnerable to climate
change, but also disproportionately impacted by measures to
address it. These impacts can include increased costs of living, loss
of livelihoods, and limited access to resources and support
systems, which exacerbate existing inequalities and poverty
trends. In the absence of well-designed and citizen-centered
policies, efforts to tackle climate change can have unintended
consequences for the livelihoods of certain groups, including
placing a higher financial burden on poor households […].
While much progress has been made on the science and the types
of policies needed to support a transition to low carbon, climateresilient development, a challenge facing many countries is
engaging citizens who are concerned that they will be unfairly
impacted by climate policies. Citizen-centered programs play a
vital role in ensuring that resources are used efficiently. Engaging
people in shaping climate action is equally critical for achieving
lasting impact. This means ensuring transparency, access to
information, and active citizen engagement on climate risks and
green growth. Such involvement can help build public support to
reduce climate impacts, overcome behavioral and political barriers
to decarbonization, as well as foster both new ideas and a sense of
ownership over solutions.
Moreover, communities bring unique perspectives, skills, and a
wealth of knowledge to the challenge of strengthening resilience
and addressing climate change. They should be engaged as
partners in resilience-building rather than being regarded merely
as beneficiaries. Research and experience show that community
leaders can successfully set priorities, influence ownership, as well
as design and implement investment programs that are responsive
to their community’s own needs. A 2022 report by the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recognizes the
value of diverse forms of knowledge — such as scientific,
Indigenous, and local knowledge — in building climate resilience.
Innovations in the architecture of climate finance can connect
communities and marginalized groups to the policy, technical, and
financial assistance that they need for locally relevant and
effective development outcomes.

SpaceX has pulled off a successful test
flight of its newest generation rocket Starship,
reversing a trend of disappointing failures. The
world's largest and most powerful rocket blasted
off from Texas just after 18:30 local time, for a
60-minute flight. Parts of the engine appeared to
explode at one stage, and flaps on the side of the
rocket caught fire and swung from side to side.
The US space agency Nasa plans to use Starship
to send humans to the Moon for its Artemis
programme in 2027.
"Great work by the SpaceX team!!",
posted SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on X, who is
spending billions on developing Starship, with
each launch costing an estimated $100m. He will
be welcoming the success after three Starship
launches ended in failure this year, and one
rocket exploded on its test stand in June. Starship
is the largest and most powerful rocket built to
date, made up of a booster called Super Heavy
and the spacecraft Starship.
The signs were positive from the start of
Tuesday's test flight. All of the booster's 33
engines fired up, and after about seven minutes,
the booster separated from the spacecraft and fell
into the Gulf of Mexico. Starship continued to
ascend, reaching a maximum height of almost
200 km above Earth before coasting around the
planet. SpaceX said it intended to put the rocket
under stress to test its limits, and parts of the
rocket's flaps appeared to burn and swing wildly
during the descent. The company has designed
Starship to one day be a fully reusable transport
system capable of carrying people to the Moon
and Mars.

Artemis programme in 2027," the word "send" could best be replaced by:

All my life I have loved music, every note, and
every rhythm. I have found that music can lift my
spirits when they sink, can help me to look at the
brighter side of a situation when all I see is
darkness, and can find beauty in the simplest of
things.
When I was 10 years old, I took up the saxophone
and loved every minute of it. I played when I felt
inspired, discouraged, isolated, joyful, and when
I just needed to think. At that age, I sounded like
little more than a swing that needs to be oiled,
without much style or creativity other than a few
loud blasts every now and then. Which explains
how I was as a little kid; out going, independent,
and very loud.
As I went through my first year of middle school,
I would still play for the same reasons, but with
a different style. Sometimes I would play very
loud, and others quite soft. There were times that
I played with great passion, and sometimes I just
couldn’t seem to find the right notes. Music was
my one way to say what I was thinking and
feeling when I couldn’t find the words. When I
had a message, music would deliver it.
I like to think that I have learned every life lesson
from a music book. I have found that sometimes
I need to slow down my pace, even if the person next to me is going faster. I have found that
sometimes life will throw me notes that I have
never seen before, and it isn’t whether or not I
know them that defines the type of player I am, it
is my willingness to learn them. Life will give me
measures that I cannot handle, that I don’t know
how to handle, but I can always find a way to
work through them.
