Presentació que explica d'on venim les persones a partir del relat construit per l'alumnat de 1r A de l'escola Baltasar Rull d'Onda. Abans de nàixer, totes les persones hem estat dins del ventre de la nostra mare, concretament dins de l'úter. I com hem arribat aquí? Per a que es puga formar una persona es necessiten un home i una dona. El home posa una “semilla” en la dona, que són els espermatozoides. L’espermatozoide és una cèl·lula. El que fa l’espermatozoide és buscar una altra cèl·lula, l'òvul de la mare. Per a poder formar el nadó els espermatozoides tenen que arribar a l'òvul. Però tan sols un d’ells ho aconseguirà. Una vegada l’espermatozoide està dins de l'òvul es produeix la fecundació. A continuació, i durant 9 mesos, el nadó es va formant. En un primer moment el nadó s’anomena embrió. Més endavant i fins que naix s’anomena fetus. Durant aquests 9 mesos el nadó es va formant poc a poc. Es formen els nervis, el cervell i els òrgans. També es determina el sexe. I es formen les mans i els peus. I poc a poc es va pareixent més al nadó que serà al nàixer. I com s’alimenta el nadó dins del ventre? Per poder alimentar-se el nadó i la mare estan connectats per un tub anomenat cordó umbilical. Per mitjà d’aquest tub el nadó rep l’oxigen i el menjar. Quan el nadó està preparat per a nàixer la mare trenca aigües i va a l’hospital. En l’hospital els metges experts ajuden a la mare a traure el nadó. El nadó ix per la vagina de la mare. Encara que en algunes ocasions també els trauen pel ventre fent un xicotet tall. Quan el nadó està fora de la mare li tallen el cordó umbilical i el netegen. Després coneix els seus pares! Plors i més plors! Benvingut al món! FI. Esperem que us haja agradat!

Paper :1 Hamlet as Traglc hero

riddhi maru

Riddhi Maru submitted a paper on William Shakespeare's play "Hamlet" for her English class. The 3 page paper provides a summary of the plot of the play. It describes how Hamlet becomes depressed after his father's death and his mother's hasty remarriage. It outlines Hamlet's plan to confirm his uncle's guilt in killing the king by having players perform a play depicting the murder. The paper then summarizes the key events that follow, including Hamlet killing Polonius, being sent to England, returning for Ophelia's funeral, and his final confrontation with Laertes that leads to the death of Hamlet, the queen, and the king.

Este documento discute el papel de las marcas y la comunicación en la sociedad. Resalta que a la mayoría de las personas no les importaría que desaparecieran muchas marcas y que las marcas deberían contribuir a mejorar el bienestar de la gente. También enfatiza que una marca es más que comunicación y productos, sino también comportamiento, entorno y cultura. Una marca verdadera se basa en la coherencia, transparencia y experiencias vividas que generan pertenencia y orgullo.

Respuesta inmune frente a virus 28 10-2010

Centro Radiológico Imagen

La respuesta inmune frente a virus se caracteriza por ser mediada por la inmunidad natural y adquirida, las cuales estimulan diferentes respuestas y mecanismos efectores. La inmunidad antiviral opera a través de mecanismos celulares y humorales que controlan la infección actuando sobre las partículas virales y células infectadas. Los virus pueden evadir la respuesta inmune a través de mecanismos como la persistencia intracelular, variación antigénica e interferencia con la presentación antigénica.

Presentation I gave for a workshop on Web 2.0

Clancy Ratliff

The document discusses using blogs and social bookmarking tools to create learning communities. It recommends having one group blog for small classes where students post topics and comment on each other's posts. For blogs, it suggests occasional fun topics and grading based on participation only. For social bookmarking, it recommends showing students the instructor's bookmarks as examples and creating a shared account for students to collaboratively build an online resource of sources. The outcomes of social bookmarking include students thinking about course topics outside of class and recognizing how topics overlap.

Presentation I gave at my dissertation defense

Clancy Ratliff

The document analyzes gender roles and political discourse in weblog writing. It discusses how masculinity is often built into technology and how computer culture emerged from male-dominated fields. Research shows men write more in online discussions. The document also examines how women are using blogging for feminist purposes and creating new public spaces for writing. Common themes in discussions of the lack of women bloggers include claims that men started blogging earlier, that evolutionary psychology makes men more politically vocal, and that women lack interest or time for politics.

Clancy Ratliff

This document summarizes Clancy Ratliff's research project on the "Where are the women?" discussions on political weblogs from 2002-2005. The project aims to conduct a rhetorical analysis of this key moment when blogging emerged as a new form of public communication. It will examine assumptions about gender, politics, and communication styles, and explore how blogging compares to Habermas' model of the public sphere. Research questions focus on similarities and differences to previous work on gender in online communication, and what the case can contribute to understanding blogging as a public forum.

Introduction to Blogging presentation for a continuing ed class

Clancy Ratliff

This document provides an overview of weblogs or blogs, including their definition, anatomy, potential audiences and uses. It discusses how to promote and network a blog to gain readers. It describes several potential uses of blogs, such as for project management, knowledge sharing, citizen journalism and personal journaling. The document also outlines some legal and ethical considerations for blogging, including issues around defamation, intellectual property, privacy and more.

Writing Center Workshop Presentation

Clancy Ratliff

The document discusses several questions and issues related to using blogs in writing pedagogy, including whether to have individual student blogs or class/group blogs, privacy concerns if using real names, whether blogging should be optional or required, dealing with outside participation and comments, assessing blog posts, creating prompts vs. letting students choose their own topics, and best practices for integrating blogs into class discussions. It provides contact information for two people who can help answer questions about implementing blogs in teaching.

CCCC Presentation 2006 on Peer-to-Peer Review

Clancy Ratliff

The document summarizes a public discussion that took place on weblogs about the use of new technologies in education. Key points of consensus from the discussion include: access to technology is often not the real issue but treated as one; many innovative tools like blogs are free; and educators still need to study emerging technologies that are shaping culture, whether adopted or not. The discussion is compared to traditional peer review processes, noting differences like public comments, open participation, and consensus building in peer-to-peer review versus private reviews and gatekeeping in traditional models. Questions are raised about using peer-to-peer review in scholarly journals and classrooms.

Negotiating and Regulating Plagiarism in Everyday Blogging Practices

Clancy Ratliff

The document discusses plagiarism in blogging practices. It describes instances where the author's blog posts were plagiarized by other bloggers. The author caught some plagiarists by accident and others using the plagiarism detection service Copyscape. The author provides information about Copyscape and includes banners to add to websites to warn against plagiarism. The author suggests future research could study Copyscape as a non-academic plagiarism detection service compared to academic services like TurnItIn.

“After being the most listed dog breed in the United States for 31 years in a row, the Labrador Retriever has dropped to second place in the American Kennel Club's annual survey of the country's most popular canines. The French Bulldog is the new top dog in the United States as of 2022. The stylish puppy has ascended the rankings in rapid time despite having health concerns and limited color choices.”
