In our research, we work to understand how people feel about the expansion of robots in different employment areas, and what factors influence their feelings. Mainly we aim to discover what factors influence people‟s opinions on robots.
The widely publicized views about robotics and artificial intelligence come to opposite conclusions. One being the idea that increased development of artificial intelligence and robots may lead to a situation of mass unemployment. The other more optimistic one being that the fear of job loss is unwarranted because a displacement and reposition of employment is what will ensue. There are also more contemporary views such as the following, to accelerate the development of robots and AI while maintaining employment opportunities at the same time, it is necessary to upgrade human capital.
The results of our research show that males have a more positive view about robots than females. People who found out about robots via scientific readings are also more likely to have a positive opinion about them than those who found out about robots via media. Furthermore, people who were personally exposed to robots or who had heard about them from friends are less likely to have a negative opinion about them than those who found out the information via scientific readings. The results also show that the more interested a person is in science and technology, the more likely he or she will have a positive view of robots.
We did not discover significant correlation between peoples‟ view about robots and their country of origin, also their age was not a significant determinate. We included further descriptive questions in our study pertaining to where respondents believe robots should be used as well as where robots should not be used. The majority of responses were in the fields of manufacturing and education. From this we draw that as of now, most people cannot accept the use of robots within social interaction due to either personal fears or lack of trust.

300 Years in the Making: How San Antonio Developed the Foundation for a Thriv...Jim "Brodie" Brazell
San Antonio has a 300-year history of innovation in science, technology and defense that helped establish the foundation for its thriving cybersecurity ecosystem. Key events include the establishment of the US Air Force Security Service in 1947 which grew to 7,500 cleared cyber personnel today, and Cisco acquiring San Antonio-based WheelGroup in 1998 which expanded their network security products. This long history has cultivated cyber talent through organizations like the UTSA Center for Infrastructure and Security and competitions like CyberPatriot, positioning San Antonio as a major hub for cybersecurity known as "Cyber City USA".

Jim Brazell, CEO and Founder, ventureRAMP, Inc. — Friday, March 12, 2010
Fueled by Washington’s focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) and U.S. competitiveness, Career and Technical Education (CTE) is emerging as a platform for systemic education reform in Texas, New York, California, Florida, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Kansas, and Arizona. The implication for the educational technology and publishing industry is a wave of change enabling educational technology and textbook budgets to include CTE curricula and infrastructure. The rise of STEM broadens the definition of educational technology to support high-technology “shop” classes and broadens the market for kits, labs, simulations, and software and “hands-on” projects in K-12 schools.

The document discusses the need to shift education, including career and technical education (CTE), to better prepare students for 21st century jobs and the changing economy. It notes that over 95% of test questions require students to recall information, rather than think at higher levels. CTE classrooms aim to develop skills through applied, problem-based learning centered around real-world problems. The structure of CTE differs from traditional academics by utilizing andragogical teaching methods focused on self-directed, experience-based learning for students. The document advocates for greater integration of academic and CTE programs to develop students' problem-solving, critical thinking, and technical skills through transdisciplinary learning experiences.
This document discusses the need to improve science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education in the United States. It notes that changing workforce needs mean students will require more sophisticated skills in STEM subjects. Several trends are driving changes in education and work, including global science and technology advancements, demographic shifts, and concerns about competitiveness similar to those following the Soviet launch of Sputnik. The document discusses strategies for merging academic, technical, and workforce education to better prepare students for life, work, and continued learning. Examples of emerging models include integrating liberal arts, STEM, and career technical education.
This document discusses emerging technologies and their implications for future jobs and skills. It begins by describing miniaturized smart dust devices being developed at Berkeley as small as 11.7 mm3 and 6.6 mm3. It then discusses how the rate of technological progress is doubling every decade, meaning a century of progress will occur over the next 25 years. The document outlines how fields like biomedicine, nanotechnology and information technology are converging and creating new types of jobs that require integrated skills from multiple domains. It provides several examples of new career opportunities and wages in areas like allied health, renewable energy, and advanced manufacturing that combine technical skills with other areas like mechanics, electronics, and computing. The document advocates developing both strong academic

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
