This document discusses how content-based instruction (CBI) is an effective way for people to learn a new language. CBI uses meaningful content as the basis for language learning rather than focusing solely on the language itself. When used as the framework for an entire course, CBI better meets learners' needs and allows the content to link and develop all language skills such as reading, writing, listening and speaking.

This document discusses Application Level Events (ALE), which provides filtering and grouping of RFID tag reads. It introduces the role and 5 APIs of ALE - Reading, Writing, Tag Memory, Logical Reader, and Access Control APIs. It describes the design of the Oliot-fc ALE implementation, including its projects and deployment. Finally, it mentions future directions such as implementing ALE with big data processing over cloud infrastructure.

Quality Circles began in Japan in 1962 as a way to improve quality and productivity by tapping into workers' creativity. A Quality Circle is a voluntary group of employees who meet regularly to discuss work-related issues and offer suggestions for improvements. The goal is to increase employee participation and motivation by giving them input into production processes. Quality Circles benefit companies by promoting self-development, teamwork, improved performance, and higher morale.
European countries colonized other lands in the 1500s due to declining natural resources and overpopulation at home. By colonizing the Americas, European colonists gained access to new lands and opportunities but killed, enslaved, or displaced millions of native Americans in the process. The European colonization of the Americas resulted in genocide of native peoples and was one of the bloodiest periods in human history. European colonists also brought African slaves to the Americas to work, especially after native Americans proved to not survive slavery well. Colonialism essentially involved foreign groups invading, killing, enslaving, or displacing indigenous populations and establishing control over new territories and peoples.
ME3101/ME3102 is a group-based mechanical design project course that simulates a real industry design environment. Students work in teams to design a mechanical system from initial conception through prototyping while emphasizing the design process, analysis, and documentation. The course aims to provide hands-on industry experience and allows students to establish industry connections. It requires skills in product development processes, additional technical areas like manufacturing and assemblies, as well as soft skills like teamwork, communication, and presentations. A course pack is provided to equip students with the basic knowledge required to complete the project successfully.
The document discusses the history and evolution of the horror genre in film. It provides background on when the genre was established between the 1890s-1920s. It then examines how horror films have changed over time, taking more risks and pushing boundaries to stay relevant to audiences. A number of iconic horror films released between the 1950s-2000s like Saw, Night of the Demon, Paranormal Activity, and Drag Me to Hell are analyzed in terms of their directors, plots, release years, and how they meet conventions of the genre. The document concludes by reflecting on what was learned from these films and how they inspired fear and disgust in the viewer as intended.
The document discusses ideas for a film poster based on research of other similar films. It analyzes several film posters that effectively portray themes through images of characters in meaningful settings. Key ideas discussed include using backdrop images to represent themes, focusing on main characters by having others look at them, and blending character faces to show a close relationship while drawing the eye. The document considers incorporating these techniques while developing a unique poster that captures the genres and storyline of the original film.
The document discusses several British holidays including Christmas, New Year's Day, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and Easter. For Christmas, people decorate trees, cook special dishes, send postcards, buy gifts, and celebrate with parties. Valentine's Day involves sending cards without signing them so people have to guess who they are from. For Mother's Day, people congratulate and give flowers and small gifts to mothers and other women. Easter includes giving eggs, going to church, cooking special meals, and having guests over.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help boost feelings of calmness, happiness and focus.
The document discusses the complex two-way relationship between organizations and information systems. It describes how information systems can impact organizations through economic, organizational, and behavioral changes. Specifically, information systems may flatten organizations by pushing decision making lower and reducing the need for managers. They can also lower transaction and agency costs. However, implementing new information systems can face organizational resistance to change as it impacts structure, culture, and politics. Key factors to consider when planning new systems include the environment, organizational structure, culture, leadership, and how the system will assist tasks and processes.

poco fa mi sono ritrovato fra le dita della tastiera questo documento in pdf che tempo fa io scrissi per una persona, e che ora io ritengo possa essere di utilità per tutti con lo scopo di farsi un'idea di quale fondamento possa avere la visione socialista del mondo, anche tenendo presente il libro in pdf del movimento Zeitgeist che io ho appena pubblicato qui su facebook, il quale va integrato con la comprensione di questo pdf. Esiste infatti una branca della fisica, denominata fisica della complessità, che studia proprio i fenomeni emergenti ed evolutivi i quali non si esplicano solo nei sistemi biologici ma anche nei sistemi scientifico-tecnologici, sociali ed economici, nonchè nel regno naturale. Il Los Alamos Institute è il primo centro scientifico al mondo in queste ricerche, anche se vi sono tanti altri centri in Europa e nel resto del mondo. Quello che voglio dire è che la visione evolutiva della storia è fondata su basi scientifiche e dunque è naturale che il Capitalismo, nato appena tre secoli fa, sia un sistema che rappresenta soltanto una tappa temporanea dell'umanità, oltre la quale vi sarà la nuova tappa che io definirei del "post-capitalismo", che però sarà anch'essa una semplice tappa che a sua volta lascerà il posto ad un sistema ancora più evoluto, e così via. Non c'è nulla da fare: I borghesi che adesso comandano l'attuale sistema faranno presto la fine che hanno fatto i signori feudali del medioevo, dei quali ora non c'è più traccia; e tenete conto che i sistemi evolutivi hanno un tasso di cambio paradigmatico in continua evoluzione e quindi i cambi di paradigma srarnno sempre più frequenti. Il mondo è infatti un sistema complesso ed emergente, e non esiste nessun "demiurgo" che controlla tutta la storia umana, ma esistono invece "lobby" più o meno potenti le quali cercano di influenzare a proprio vantaggio il corso degli eventi, a danno naturalmente del resto della società. Tutto qui. La fisica della Complessità ci dice che la società, in quanto sistema complesso, è soggetta alle leggi del "caos deterministico" ed altri fenomeni complessi che rendono impossibile per qualsiasi potere controllare passo a passo, in modo "algoritmico" la società, secondo un piano ben preciso stabilito da un qualsiasi potere di questo pianeta. L' "emergenza" e il "caos" sono fenomeni complessi intrinseci alla società umana i quali non possono essere previsti in nessun modello di studio, e dunque questi fenomeni attestano che la società è un sistema in ultima analisi non pienamente controllabile e prevedibile. E' per questo che i poteri presto o tardi cadono senza una apparente spiegazione razionale. La storia ci insegna..
The document analyzes the characters, iconography, setting, and technical codes used in a Manchester newspaper. On the front cover, a man convicted of animal abuse represents the villain, while citizens who restrained him are heroes. Inside, a fraud convict and two arrested hotel guests also portray villains. Iconic Manchester images like footballers and the Hilton Hotel establish the local setting. Technical codes like bold headlines and mastheads in prominent areas are used to attract readers' attention.
