This was my presentation from ISTE where I covered content about career and technical education. I am a member of the State of Hawaii Workforce Development Council appointed by the Governor.
In this workshop we will explore the meaning of “Professional Learning Communities”, analyse a number of models and consider the value of planning and launching a PLC in the context of the ICPNA school environment. We will define PLCs and why they are considered to be important, basing some of these concepts on recent theories of connectivism and trust. Leadership will be seen as a shared experience in a change-ready school. The skills for motivating and inspiring a whole school culture through reference to Maslow and McGregor will be examined while the concept of both Heads and Teachers as learners in their own right will be stressed. Finally, strategies for launching a PLC in school will be discussed.

Presentation to the NZ School Trustees Association annual conference, Dunedin, 12 July 2019. Exploring the drivers of change and the responses required of educators and the schooling system to ensure our learners are 'future ready' as they leave school.
We know culture plays a key role in any organization. What role does it play in healthcare? Not speaking up and being safe is a significant issue for safe patient care. This presentation outlines why.
Agile is an ideal organizational model to manage complex domains, but it does question many structural and cultural assumptions found in a traditional management culture. This presentation shows how transforming a large enterprise towards Agile requires not only a shift in methodology but also a shift in beliefs. We examine the limits of implementing Agile into a traditional enterprise and explore some transformational approaches that address these limits.
The Social Collaboration Party – Should Learning Gatecrash ? Online Forum SydneyLearningCafe
Consumers are engaging with social media as never before and changing the way we communicate and share. However using “social” at the workplace is lettered with discussion boards nobody joins or a community withers after the initial enthusiasm. Will it work ? Or are we going about the wrong way for the wrong reasons ?

Keynote Presentation at the IT Sligo UDL Conference Frederic Fovet may 26Frederic Fovet
While there have been bold developments in the use of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in the post-secondary sector over the last ten years on both sides of the Atlantic, much of these efforts have focused on showcasing the pedagogical benefits of its implementation. This discourse has remained a little naïve when it comes to management of change and organizational leadership. In the worst case scenarios, naivety has given way to actual clumsiness, which has been counter-productive in getting buy-in from faculty.
This session will explore the challenges and opportunities of UDL implementation across post-secondary campuses and give full consideration to the numerous organizational variables which impact this process. It will argue that many of the UDL initiatives witnessed in Higher Education over the years have been doomed to stagnation or to a process of slow death because there has been a lack of strategic reflection at the start of these processes. It is an opportune time to learn from these lessons, and to devise blue prints for the strategic management of UDL integration that acknowledge the complexity of the post-secondary landscape.
A new dramatic set of variables now affects this process of implementation: the COVID-19 crisis has irretrievably changed the realities of Higher Education and its modus operandi. It would be unrealistic to hope to ever return to a pre-pandemic ‘normal’, and in many ways the COVID crisis has been the catharsis for radical changes which had been a long time coming in a destabilized, hyper-competitive, and mostly unsustainable landscape. This complex and charged climate will appear, to many, as rife with hurdles when it comes to UDL implementation. The last year and a half has indeed seen a shift back to medical model practices and a loss of ground for may inclusion advocates. It will nevertheless be argued in the presentation that the COVID pandemic has also offered unprecedented opportunities to position UDL as a sustainable framework well suited to the post-pandemic reality.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.
BREEDING METHODS FOR DISEASE RESISTANCE.pptxRASHMI M G

Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
