Recently, Prof. Vincent Yang, Pro-Rector of USJ, was interviewed by Mingpao Daily and several other Chinese press to comment on the signing of an Agreement between China and Canada on Sharing and Return of Forfeited Assets during Premier Li Keqiang’s official visit to Canada in late September, 2016 as well as the beginning of discussion of an extradition treaty between the two countries. Prof. Yang indicated that the signing of China’s first treaty on the sharing and return of forfeited asset is a significant ground breaking development, which will help law enforcement agencies work together in a joint effort to fight cross-border crime including organized crime and corruption. The beginning of discussion on extradition treaty between the two governments is also encouraging, given that Canada does not want to become a safe heaven for Chinese fugitives involved in major corruption and economic crimes, and an extradition treaty can provide a solid legal ground for the timely removal of fugitives.

Thus, they have also contributed to the celebrated artistic style called chinoiserie that arose in France during the 18th century. As illustrated by the inventories of their goods, Jesuits from Asia to America ranked among the most compulsive commissioners and collectors of Chinese artistic objects, such as porcelain, silk tissues and paintings. Jesuit chronicles and further documentation are replete with information regarding the technical, artistic and commercial value of Chinese art on a global scale. The book China Illustrata (1667) by the Swiss Jesuit Athanasius Kircher was indeed one of the most influential books in shaping the conception Europeans had of China. In his position as rector of the Collegio Romano, he had a privileged access to the reports sent to Rome by the Jesuit missionaries in China and who had been previously trained at the same institution. The Jesuit long presence at Peking Court and the transfer of the Painter’s Academy from Japan to Macau in 1614 were further decisive to the better knowledge and overall appreciation of Chinese art and artists."

About the Talk

Environmental degradation and one of its effects, global warming, have worsened the inequalities between the rich and the poor among prople and nations. The Catholic Church has demonstrated its deep commitment to social justice visibly since the Vatican ||, while the most recent Encyclical, Laudato Si1, offered by Pope Francis moves the Church in an unprecedented manner toward the coupling of sustainability and religion to address global inequalities. Social documentaries, in general, represent voices for justice and the common good shared by all major religions, and the documents of the Catholic Church highlighted in the paper offer a concrete trajectory for global justice that we see in cinematic form.

“The work was motivated by the significant threat to personal privacy posed by increasingly connected personal and "smart" home devices, in what is called the Internet-of-Things (IoT), in conjunction with the growing trend for enterprises to collect and process large amounts of consumer data, also known as Big Data analytics.

The thesis proposes a solution in the form of a new framework that gives consumers more control, by providing them with the personal infrastructure to collect, control and process their own data, whilst also allowing enterprises and third-parties to collaborate with the consumer infrastructure to extract mutual value, including monetisation of the data, without infringing on personal privacy.”

About the Talk

To understand brains we need to start from the simplest animals: take for example the worm C-Elegans with only 350 neurons, able to look for food, remember food locations and mate. Brains originally evolved for movement: consider as an example phototaxis, the movement away or towards a stimulus or light which can be easily implemented with a robot by directly connecting sensors and motors. This behaviours are considered to be reactive a direct mapping from sensors to actuation. You will consider how we can build up more complex behaviours introducing learning and memory into play.

You will be able to add more complex layers of behaviour following the structure of the Distributed Adaptive Control (DAC, biologically based control Architecture developed at SPECS). DAC assumes that behaviour is organized in layers from reactive, to adaptive (simplest learning) and contextual (including memory and learning). You will learn how to implement using robots a series of increasingly complex animal tasks that go in the direction of solving a general foraging task following the structure of a neuro-biological control strategy.

About the Speaker

Marti Sanchez-Fibla is a researcher in the laboratory SPECS (Synthetic Perceptive, Emotive and Cognitive Systems) of the University Pompeu Fabra (UPF). He has a PhD in computer science by the University Politécnica of Cataluña (UPC) and has realized his PhD in the Artificial Intelligence Institute (IIIA) of the CSIC.

About the Talk

On this public talk at the Saint Joseph University award-winning photojournalist Eduardo Leal will share part of his body of work.

Through a personal vision, he will guide us through stories behind the photographs from the Revolution in Venezuela and its fall, the legacy of drug lord Pablo Escobar in Colombia, environmental issues in Argentina and Bolivia, bullfighters in Portugal, among others.

It will be an opportunity to understand the life and the challenges faced by photojournalists to get the picture that we see everyday in newspapers and magazines, showing that photojournalists are witness of our time.

Los Hongos (Colombia) - The Mushroom 蘑菇 (哥倫比亞) Date: 6th September 2016 Time: 18:30 Cali street artists Ras and Calvin are good friends and collaborators despite hailing from disparate backgrounds. While one takes art classes, the other steals paint from his job in order to tag whatever surfaces he can find. Inspired by the Arab Spring protests, the pair bands together with a group of graffiti artists in order to paint a tribute to the student demonstrators. Oscar Ruiz Navia’s second feature could be termed a coming-of-age film, but Los Hongo sheads in unexpected directions: while possibilities of hooking up abound, the pair’s mutual interest in making a statement that might also push forward new ideas in their own country expands what we usually see in characters growing up on-screen. This moment in the lives of two kids figuring it out encompasses all the possibilities: family, friends, sex, art, and, when they least expect it, the prospect of doing something of value. Full of color and great music,Los Hongos comprises a charming and vibrant portrait of a young, lively Colombia.

  Ecuador: The Royal Tour (Ecuador) - 總統帶你漫遊厄瓜多爾 (厄瓜多爾) Date: 13th September 2016 Time: 18:30 Peter Greenberg received a royal tour from the President of Ecuador, Rafael Correa.
