The document discusses the five themes of geography: location, place, human-environment interaction, region, and movement. It defines each theme and provides examples. Location describes where things are either through relative location (descriptions based on landmarks, directions, etc.) or absolute location (coordinates). Place looks at the unique human and physical features that define an area. Human-environment interaction examines how people depend on, adapt to, and modify their surroundings. Region refers to areas with similar characteristics, and movement is the flow of people, goods, information, and ideas between places.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Â
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Â
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
Â
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
Â
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
Â
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

3. What is Geography?
 Geography is the study of
Earth’s surface, lands,
features and people.
4. What are the five themes of
Geography?
 The five themes of geography are location,
place, region, human environmental
interaction (HEI) and movement.
5.  Why were the 5 themes of
Geography created?
6. Why were the 5 themes of Geography
created?
 The five themes of geography
were created by Geographers to
help them organize information.
7. The First Theme: Location
 How would you define the word location? Give
me some examples of locations.
8. Location
 Location answers the question “Where are
we?”
 In the 5 themes of Geography there are two
types of locations: Relative and Absolute
locations.
9. Absolute Location:
 Absolute location: describes an exact place on earth.
It requires latitude and longitude coordinates. It can
give you a global location (using latitude and
longitude) or a local location (street address).
10. Relative Location:
 Relative location describes the position of a place in
relation to another place. The position can be
described using landmarks, directions, time or
distance from one place to another.
 With your neighbor, describe the relative location of
Durant Road Middle School. Be prepared to share
with the class your description
11. Relative vs. Absolute Location:
Relative Location Absolute Location
 Relative location: locations  Absolute location: gives a
described specific form of location.
directions, time, landmarks or
distance.
 Example:
 The White House is
 Example: located at 1600
 Tennessee is west of North Pennsylvania Ave.
Carolina Washington D.C. 20500
12. Place:
 Place is defined as an area that has features
that distinguish them from other places. Places
are unique.
 Place describes the human and physical
characteristics of a location.
13. Place – Physical Features
Landforms, climate, wildlife, natural resources,
architecture, mountains, rivers and other
factors that make a place unique.
14. Place – Human Features
Language, food, religion, ethnicity, clothing,
customs, government and other factors
16. Human Environmental Interaction
(HEI):
 HEI looks at the relationship between people
and their environment.
 3 categories of HEI: depend, adapt and modify
 What are some examples of how we depend
upon, adapt and modify our environment?
17. HEI Activity:
 Get out a sheet of paper.
 You are going to listen to the story The Lorax
by Dr. Seuss.
 You are going to write down examples of HEI.
18. Region:
 A region is an area that is defined by certain
similar characteristics. Those similar
characteristics can be
physical, natural, human or cultural.
 Have you heard about or can you name any
examples of regions?
 Regions are a way to describe and compare
places
19. Region:
Regions can be defined in many different ways.
For example:
1.) Language type
2.)Landform groups (Piedmont, Coastal plain,
mountains)
3.)Government or political regions
21. Movement:
Movement describes how people,
products/goods, information and ideas move
from in between countries. (or from one place
to another)
*How do ideas and information move?
*How do products/good move?
*How do people move?
