Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic threw into stark relief the multi-dimensional threats created by neoliberal capitalism. Government measures to alleviate the crisis were largely inadequate, leaving women – in particular working-class women – to carry the increased burden of care work while at the same time placing themselves in direct risk as frontline workers. Emancipatory Feminism in the Time of Covid-19, the seventh volume in the Democratic Marxism series, explores how many subaltern women – working class, peasant and indigenous – challenge hegemonic neoliberal feminism through their resistance to ordinary capitalist practices and ecological extractivism. Contributors cover women’s responses in a wide range of contexts: from women leading the defence of Rojava – the Kurdish region of Syria, to approaches to anti-capitalist ecology and building food secure pathways in communities across Africa, to championing climate justice in mining affected communities and transforming gender divisions in mining labour practices in South Africa, to contesting macro-economic policies affecting the working conditions of nurses. Their practices demonstrate a feminist understanding of the current systemic crises of capitalism and patriarchal oppression. What is offered in this collection is a subaltern women’s grassroots resistance focused on advancing and enabling solidarity-based political projects, deepening democracy, building capacities and alliances to advance new feminist alternatives.

29. The Formal and Informal Regulation of Labor in AI: The Experience of Eastern and Southern Africa.

Abstract

This article examines the regulation of labor in the context of artificial intelligence (AI) in Eastern and Southern Africa, with a focus on South Africa and Kenya. It identifies two main concerns: the regulation of labor for African workers engaged in low-end AI work and the sharing of information in authoritarian states and its impact on organized labor and civil society. The article also discusses the lack of regulation for low-end AI work, such as data janitorial work, and the potential biases and negative effects of AI on women in sectors like fintech. It provides country-specific examples, including the use of AI in South Africa's healthcare and transportation systems, as well as the limited attention given to AI by established unions. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of responsible AI practices and addressing regulatory concerns while harnessing the economic potential of AI. In South Africa, the call center industry is at risk of job loss due to AI, and the lack of AI policy and regulation exacerbates this issue. In Kenya, the development of a strong Fintech sector based on AI technologies has led to financial inclusion but also raises concerns about data privacy and protection. The article also highlights the emergence of union-like organizations in Kenya to represent workers in the digital platform economy. Overall, AI regulation in Africa is incomplete, and progress towards informal regulation has been uneven. [Extracted from the article]

36. Monitoring ground movements and infrastructure in London, UK, using Permanent Scatterer Interferometry

Abstract

Satellite-based surface deformation monitoring across London reveals fascinating patterns of mainly anthropogenic origin, associated with various civil engineering projects. Geological anomalies-e.g. faults, buried hollows, etc.-affect groundwater flow and so become visible in the surface deformation patterns associated with dewatering. The unique ability of Permanent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) to detect these millimetre-scale movements over a wide area opens up the possibility for construction monitoring and safer aquifer management, while also providing a tool for detecting subsurface anomalies. This research explores the capabilities of InSAR data, from several sensors, processed using the SqueeSAR® algorithm, and explores how these data can be utilised and interpreted for an urban environment. The comparison between high-resolution TerraSAR-X data and medium-resolution Sentinel-1 data shows that regional phenomena are detected in both datasets but local deformation is significantly better resolved in TerraSAR-X data. Crossrail Ltd terrestrial monitoring data are used to validate the ground deformations observed in TerraSAR-X data, and show very good agreement. The observed Crossrail settlement trough is highly variable in extent, mainly resulting from the size and different tunnelling techniques used for stations and crossovers, but not all the variability is explicable. Further investigation of anomalous deformation patterns reveals a seasonal pattern of rise and fall of the roof of Blackfriars Bridge, superimposed on long-term settlement, and differential settlement across the O2 Arena caused by dewatering north of the Thames. Subsurface piezometer readings taken in London's Chalk and Thanet Sands aquifer are strongly correlated with PSI surface displacement, confirming that dewatering is detected in TerraSAR-X data, and anomalies in the deformation patterns reveal the locations of groundwater-sealing faults. Surface deformation associated with dewatering for the Northern Line Extension in South London show distinctive patterns related to buried hollows. These observations all demonstrate the unique capability for PSI data for ground monitoring and its potential value to geoscientists and civil engineers.
