The most popular algorithm is the heuristic searching method, utilizing double‐nested loops. (2) Diversity 68 Diversity is a method designed to protect the privacy of data . This method considers the diversity of sensitive attributes, and it is, therefore, different from ‐anonymity. The definition of ‐diversity is as follows: "In all q*‐blocks in a data table, there are at least l different sensitive attributes."

Facilitation Meeting: WSIS Action Line C8 - Cultural diversity and identity, linguistic diversity and local content.
UNESCO
18 May 2009, 16:00 - 17:30 ITU Headquarters, Room B1
This session will build on the prior discussions of the High-level Panel (HLP), possibly continuing discussions on cultural and linguistic diversity-issues for “Accessing Knowledge” (prior HLP). (...) Is there room and real interest for effective collective team work, on what? Given the working methods already defined, how should the team , more concretely, apply these methods?

The Delphi research revealed a gap between industry and teachers in addressing (sexual) diversity, and the pre-intervention interviews showed the teachers’ lack of awareness to (sexual) diversity of students. (...) However, action research revealed that 34 teachers (out of 44) regularly used teaching methods facilitating gender inclusion, and 8 of them addressed sexual diversity in 76 lessons (out of 480). This means that the ideas and methods infiltrated their practice.
Despite the present political climate in Hungary, this new program provides training and mentoring for teachers that include awareness raising to inclusive approach to sexual diversity.

The proposed project aims to:
a) To assess: i) CVD risk prediction accuracy of various machine learning (ML) methods benchmarked against CVD risk based on actually observed occurrence of first CVD event (truth) documented in diverse cohorts/populations data, and ii) replicability/reproducibility of ML prediction of CVD risk using 'external data' from diverse populations meeting prescribed criteria but 'not previously accessed' (undisclosed) data to the ML algorithms under evaluation;
b) Compare CVD risk prediction accuracy of ML algorithms referenced above in section 3.1. (a) to: i) several routine clinical-use CVD risk scoring tools/calculators, and ii) traditional multivariate statistical methods (in collaboration with other co-investigators who recently undertook similar risk prediction accuracy studies);
c) Determine which methods, if any, consistently show better predictive accuracy across diverse populations. Using the above-referenced methods, benchmarking, anticipated findings and peer-review thereof, the project expects to establish an evidence-based standards-setting blueprint.

PROGRAMME AREA
Conservation of biological diversity
Basis for action
15.3. Despite mounting efforts over the past 20 years, the loss of the world's biological diversity, mainly from habitat destruction, over-harvesting, pollution and the inappropriate introduction of foreign plants and animals, has continued. (...) Governments at the appropriate level, with the cooperation of the relevant United Nations bodies and regional, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, the private sector and financial institutions, and taking into consideration indigenous people and their communities, as well as social and economic factors, should:
(a) Press for the early entry into force of the Convention on Biological Diversity, with the widest possible participation;
(b) Develop national strategies for the conservation of biological diversity and the sustainable use of biological resources;
(c) Integrate strategies for the conservation of biological diversity and the sustainable use of biological resources into national development strategies and/or plans;
(d) Take appropriate measures for the fair and equitable sharing of benefits derived from research and development and use of biological and genetic resources, including biotechnology, between the sources of those resources and those who use them;
(e) Carry out country studies, as appropriate, on the conservation of biological diversity and the sustainable use of biological resources, including analyses of relevant costs and benefits, with particular reference to socio-economic aspects;
(f) Produce regularly updated world reports on biodiversity based upon national assessments;
(g) Recognize and foster the traditional methods and the knowledge of indigenous people and their communities, emphasizing the particular role of women, relevant to the conservation of biological diversity and the sustainable use of biological resources, and ensure the opportunity for the participation of those groups in the economic and commercial benefits derived from the use of such traditional methods and knowledge; 1/
(h) Implement mechanisms for the improvement, generation, development and sustainable use of biotechnology and its safe transfer, particularly to developing countries, taking account the potential contribution of biotechnology to the conservation of biological diversity and the sustainable use of biological resources; 2/
(i) Promote broader international and regional cooperation in furthering scientific and economic understanding of the importance of biodiversity and its functions in ecosystems;
(j) Develop measures and arrangements to implement the rights of countries of origin of genetic resources or countries providing genetic resources, as defined in the Convention on Biological Diversity, particularly developing countries, to benefit from the biotechnological development and the commercial utilization of products derived from such resources. 2/
3/
Activities
A) Management-related activities
15.5. (...) Specific aspects to be addressed include the need to develop:
(a) Efficient methodologies for baseline surveys and inventories, as well as for the systematic sampling and evaluation of biological resources;
(b) Methods and technologies for the conservation of biological diversity and the sustainable use of biological resources;
(c) Improved and diversified methods for ex situ conservation with a view to the long-term conservation of genetic resources of importance for research and development.

The proposed project aims to: a) Use routine patient data already collected from diverse populations through various retrospective cohort studies of type 2/adult onset diabetics (readily-obtainable under US NIH & UK NHS/CPRD data sharing policies) – to assess CVD risk prediction accuracy of various methods (incl. ML) by comparing: i) observed occurrence of first CVD event in each cohort/population to ii) ‘blinded predictions’ (prediction methods blinded to the observed CVD status) using several clinical CVD risk scoring tools/calculators, traditional multivariate statistical methods, ML algorithms (in collaboration with several co-investigators who recently undertook similar studies); b) Determine which methods, if any, consistently show better predictive accuracy across diverse populations. (...) To ensure applicability in this project’s requirement for data from diverse populations in the evaluation of CVD predictive risk accuracy of ML algorithms and other methods to be compared, studies/data sources selected for this project were undertaken in demographically diverse populations.
