1) how do you account for the high productivity of the cage workers prior to the move in the low productivity after the move?
The voucher-check filing unit was a work unit in the home office of the Atlantic Insurance Company. The assigned task of the unit was to file checks and vouchers written by the company as they were cashed and returned. This filing was the necessary foundation for the maln function of the unit: locating any particular check for examination upon demand. There were usually 8-10 requests for specific checks from as many different departments during the day. One of the most frequent reasons checks were requested from the unit was to determine whether checks in payment of claims against the company had been cashed. Thus efficiency in the unit directly affected customer satisfaction with the company. Complaints or inquiries about payments could not be answered with the accuracy and speed conducive to client satisfaction unless the unit could supply the necessary documents immediately. Toward the end of 1952, nine workers manned this unit. There was an assistant (a position equivalent to a foreman in a factory) named Miss Dunn, five other full-time employees, and three part-time workers. The work area of the unit was well defined. Walls bounded the unit on three sides. The one exterior wall was pierced by light-admitting north windows. The westinterior partition was blank. A door opening into a corridor pierced the south interior partition. The east side of the work area was enclosed by steel mesh reaching from wall to wall and fioor to ceiling. This open metal barrier gave rise: to the oustomary name of the unit - "the voucher cage." A sliding door through this mesh gave access from the unit's temitory to the work area of the rest of the company's agency audit division, of which it was a part, locateld on the same floor. The unit's territory was kept inviolate by locks on both doors, fastened at all times. No one not working within the cage was permitted inside unless his name appeared on a special list in the custody of. Miss Dunn. The door through the steel mesh was used generally for departmental buisiness. Messengers and runners from other departments usually came to the corridor door and pressed a buzzer f service. The steel mesh front was reinforced by a rank of metal filing cases where checks were flled. Lined up just inside the barrier, they hid the unit's workers from the view of workers outside their territory, ineluding the section head responsible for overall supervision of this unit according to the company's formal plan of operation. PART II On top of the cabinets which were backed against the steel mesh; one of the male employees in the unit neatly stacked pasteboard boxes in which checks were transported to the cage. They were later reused to hold older checks sent into storage. His intention was less getting these boxes out of the way than increasing the effective height of the sight barrier so the section he.

1) The artificial intelligence algorithms that suggest or display content on YouTube, Facebook, and other social media sites rely on programmatic rules, making these systems a form of one-to-one marketing CRM metrics rules-based marketing sales funnel management marketing automation 2) Imagine if YouTube and Facebook were government-funded public utilities that didn't rely on advertising revenue and therefore had no need to use marketing analytics to shape ad sales. What effect might this have on the radicalization problem that Zeynep Tufekci describes? It would radicalize people even more because neither platform would be bound by advertising regulations. With no economic incentive to keep people engaged for as long as possible, neither platform would have a reason to serve up radicalizing content. Without the lure of being fed a constant stream of emotionally charged content, people would gradually abandon both platforms. Few people would want to use government-run social media, so neither platform would contribute much to radicalization. 3) How does the practice of marketing analytics contribute to the social media radicalization problems that Zeynep Tufekci describes? By giving social media platforms accurate data on how people respond to online content, these systems can keep suggesting content that is more and more radical. By giving social media platforms accurate data on how people respond to online content, these systems can separate emotional responses from logical responses. The analytics results give consumers more control over the content they see when they visit social media sites. Because no products are being sold from social media platforms themselves, marketing analytics are not relevant here. 4) For advertisers, one of the primary appeals of social media is the phenomenon of community building, in which people with similar interests connect online. In light of what Zeynep Tufekci describes in this video, how are advertisers likely to view "communities of belief" that form around extreme opinions? Advertisers will be extremely cautious about being associated with hate speech and other forms of extremism. Companies will include notices on their YouTube and Facebook ads to say they don't agree with extremist content. Just as much of the U.S. population has done in recent years, most advertisers will align with one side or the other. As the old saying goes, "any publicity is good publicity," so most advertisers won't worry about it. Which of these is the most accurate summary of Zeynep Tufekci's explanation of why YouTube can sometimes "radicalize" viewers by serving up increasingly polarizing content? YouTube is selecting video content based on a person's political preferences. YouTube is effectively censoring some content by encouraging viewers to watch other content, rather than letting them pick their own videos. YouTube is steering viewers toward specific points of view. YouTube is attempting to get people to view more vi.

Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. 1) how do you account for the high productivity of the cage workers prior to the move in the low
productivity after the move?
The voucher-check filing unit was a work unit in the home office of the Atlantic Insurance
Company. The assigned task of the unit was to file checks and vouchers written by the company
as they were cashed and returned. This filing was the necessary foundation for the maln function
of the unit: locating any particular check for examination upon demand. There were usually 8-10
requests for specific checks from as many different departments during the day. One of the most
frequent reasons checks were requested from the unit was to determine whether checks in
payment of claims against the company had been cashed. Thus efficiency in the unit directly
affected customer satisfaction with the company. Complaints or inquiries about payments could
not be answered with the accuracy and speed conducive to client satisfaction unless the unit
could supply the necessary documents immediately. Toward the end of 1952, nine workers
manned this unit. There was an assistant (a position equivalent to a foreman in a factory) named
Miss Dunn, five other full-time employees, and three part-time workers. The work area of the
unit was well defined. Walls bounded the unit on three sides. The one exterior wall was pierced
by light-admitting north windows. The westinterior partition was blank. A door opening into a
corridor pierced the south interior partition. The east side of the work area was enclosed by steel
mesh reaching from wall to wall and fioor to ceiling. This open metal barrier gave rise: to the
oustomary name of the unit - "the voucher cage." A sliding door through this mesh gave access
from the unit's temitory to the work area of the rest of the company's agency audit division, of
which it was a part, locateld on the same floor. The unit's territory was kept inviolate by locks on
both doors, fastened at all times. No one not working within the cage was permitted inside unless
his name appeared on a special list in the custody of. Miss Dunn. The door through the steel
mesh was used generally for departmental buisiness. Messengers and runners from other
departments usually came to the corridor door and pressed a buzzer f service. The steel mesh
front was reinforced by a rank of metal filing cases where checks were flled. Lined up just inside
the barrier, they hid the unit's workers from the view of workers outside their territory, ineluding
the section head responsible for overall supervision of this unit according to the company's
formal plan of operation. PART II On top of the cabinets which were backed against the steel
mesh; one of the male employees in the unit neatly stacked pasteboard boxes in which checks
were transported to the cage. They were later reused to hold older checks sent into storage. His
intention was less getting these boxes out of the way than increasing the effective height of the
sight barrier so the section head could not see into the cage "even. when he stood up." The girls
stood at the door of the cage, which led into the corridor, and talked to the messenger boys. Out
this door also the workers slipped unnoticed to bring in their customary afternoon snack. Inside
the cage the workers sometimes engaged in a good'natured game of rubberband "sniping.".
Workers in the cage possessed good capacity to work together con:sistently, and workers outside
the cage often expressed envy of those in it because of the "nice people" and friendly atmosphere
there. The unit had no apparent difficulty keeping up with its worklosd. PPART III For some
time prior to 1952 , the controller's department of the company had not been able to meet its own
standards of efficlent servico to clients. Company officials felt the primary cause to be spatial.
Various divisions of the controller's department were scattered over the entire 22-story company
building. Commumication between them tequired phone calls, messengers, or personal visits, all
costing, time. The spatial separation had not seemed very important when the com t. pany's
business volume was smaller piror to World War II. But business had grown tremendously since
then, and spatial separation appeared increasingly inefficient. Finally, in November 1952
2. company officials began to consolidite: the controller's department by relocating two divisions
together on one floor. One was the agency audit division, which included the voucher-check
filing unit. As soon as the decision to move was made, lower-level supervisors were called in to
help with planning. Line workers were not consulted but were kept informed by the assistants of.
planning progress. Company officials were concerned about the problem of transporting many
tons of equipment and some 200 work-: ers from two locations to another single location
withrout disrupting. work flow. So the, move was planned to occur over a single weekend, i
using the most efficient resources available. Assistants were kept busy planning positions for
files and desks in the new location. - Desks, files, chairs, and even wastebaskets were numbered
prior to the move. and relocated according to a master chart checked on the spot by the assistant.
Employees were briefed as to where the new location was and which elevators they should take
to reach it. The company successfully transported the paraphernalia of the vouchercheck filing
unit from one floor to another over one weekend. Workers in the cage quit Friday afternoon at
the old stand, reported back Monday at the new. The exterior boundaries of the new cage were
still three building walls and the steel mesh, but the new cage possessed only one door-1 the
sliding door through the steel mesh into the work area of the rest of the agency andit division.
The territory of the cage had also been reduced in size. An entire bank of filing cabinets had to
be left behind In the old location to be taken over by the unit moving there. The new. aage was
arranged so that there was no longer a.row of metal filing cabinets lined up inside the steel mesh
obstructing the view into the cage. PARTIV When the workers in the cage inquired about the
removal of the fling cabinets from along the steel mesh fencing, they found that Mr. Burice had
insisted that these cabinets be rearranged so his view into the cage would not be obstructed by
them. Miss Dunn had tried to retain the cabinets in their prior position, but her efforts had been
overridden. Burke disapproved of converse ton. Since he could see workers conversing in the
new cage, he "requested" Miss Dunn to put a stop to all unnecessary talk. Attempts by female
clerks to talk to messenger boys brought the wrath of her superior down on Miss Dunn, who was
then forced to reprimand the girls. Burke also disapproved of an untidy working area, and any
boxes or papers which were in sight were a source of annoynnce to him. He did nat exert
supervision directly but would "request" Miss Dunn to "do something abaut those boxes." In the
new cage, desks bad to be completely cleared at the end of the day, in contrast to the work-in-
progress piles left out in the old cage. Boxes could not nccumulate on top of filing cases, The
custom of aftemoon snacking also ran into trouble. Lacking a corridor door, the food bringers
had to venture forth and pack back their sinack trays through the work area of the rest of their
section, bringing this hitherto unique custom to the attention of workers outside the cage. The
latter promptly recognized the desirability of afternoon snacks and began agitation for the same
privilege. This annoyed the section head, who forbade'workers in the cage to continue this
custom. Burke later made.a rule which permitted one worker to leave the new cage at a set time-
every afternoon to bring up food for the rest. This rigidity irked cage personnel, accustomed to a
snack when the mood struck, or none at all. Having made his concession to the cage force, Burke
was unable to prevent workers outside the cage from doing the same thing. What had once been
mique to the workers in the cage was now common practice in the section.. Although Miss Dunn
never outwardly expressed anything but compliance and approval of superior directives, she
exhibited definite signs of anxiety. All the cage workers reacted against Burke's increased
domination. When he imposed his decisions upon the voucher-check filing unit, he became "Old
Grandma" to its personnol. The cage workers sneered at him and ridiculed him behind his back
Workers who formerly had obeyed company policy as a matter of course began to find reasons
3. for loafing and obstructing work in the new cage. One of the changes that took place in the
behavior of the workers had to do with their game of rubberband sniping. All knew Burke would
disapprove of this game. It became highly clandestine and fraught with dangers. Yet, shooting
mubber bands increased. Newly arrived checks were put out of sight as soon as possible, filed or
not. Workers hid unfiled checks, generally stuffing them into desk drawers or unused file
drawers. Since boxes were forbidden, there were fewer unused file drawers than there had been
in the old cage. So the day's work was sometimes undone when several clerks hastily shoved
vouchers and checks indiscriminately into the same file drawer at the end of the day. Before a
worker in the cage filed incoming checks, she measured with her ruler the thickness in inches of
each bundle she filed. At the ond of each dey she totaled her input and reported it to Miss Dunn.
All incoming checks were measured upon arrival. Thus, Miss Dunn had a rough estimate of unit
intake compared with file input. Theoretically, she was able to tell at any time how much unfiled
material she had on hand and how well the unit was keeping up with its task. Despite this
running "check," when the annual inventory of "unfiled" checks on hand in the cage was taken at
the beginning of the calendar year 1953, a serionsly large backiog of unfiled checks was found.
To the surprise and dismay of Miss Dunn, the inventory showed the unit to be far behind
schedule, flling much more slowly than before the relocation of the cage.
