California's Early Start program provides early intervention services to infants and toddlers from birth to age three who have disabilities or developmental delays. The program is administered through a collaboration between the California Department of Developmental Services and Department of Education. Early Start services are family-focused and designed to meet the individual needs of each child in natural environments like home and child care settings. Services can include developmental instruction, speech therapy, service coordination and more to support the child's development and the family.
Este documento presenta una propuesta didáctica colaborativa para crear un itinerario literario que saca la literatura a la calle. El proyecto involucra a cuatro blogs de Lengua y Literatura y consiste en planificar, diseñar y gestionar de manera conjunta la construcción de un producto final común que incluye una secuencia de actividades con metodología activa y el uso de las TIC para aprender y trabajar competencias básicas a través de una educación literaria que acerca la literatura al público.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Running a digital media lab presents several challenges, including balancing intellectual freedom with appropriate content, accommodating different age groups and abilities, and addressing frequent user feedback. Users will often push technology to its limits by playing audio loudly or finding hidden features and bugs. The digitization of media has also been hugely impactful, while many patrons are surprised by what technology is available for public use.
La gripe porcina es una enfermedad causada por virus de la influenza que infectan a los cerdos pero ocasionalmente se transmiten a humanos. Generalmente afecta a personas que trabajan con cerdos. Aunque rara vez causa brotes en humanos, en 2009 una nueva cepa de gripe H1N1 causó una pandemia mundial. La OMS la clasificó como pandemia nivel 6 debido a su rápida propagación global.
This document provides an overview of peer-to-peer file sharing networks. It discusses the definition and history of P2P networks from USENET in 1979 to modern applications like BitTorrent. The advantages of P2P networks are described as allowing all clients to provide resources without bandwidth limits. However, issues around piracy are noted, as most files shared are illegal copies. While some P2P networks like Napster were shut down due to lawsuits, others like eMule and BitTorrent continue operating within legal non-commercial uses. In conclusion, P2P technology itself is viewed as innocent, but illegal sharing by some users has led to problems.
This document summarizes a workshop on big data visualization held at The Alexandra Institute. The Alexandra Institute is a non-profit research and innovation institute in Denmark with 9 labs and 100 employees focused on application-oriented research. The workshop discussed challenges of visualizing big data, which is too large to process in memory or too slow for real-time interaction. It also covered accelerating computation through GPUs and techniques for visualization and visual analytics to make complex data more understandable. Examples of applications discussed included medical registration and simulation, molecular visualization, and animation.

This document discusses challenges and trends for next-generation smartphone apps. It outlines three perspectives on how apps could evolve: overlaying the digital world on the physical one using augmented reality; interacting with physical objects and controlling the environment; and serving as a hub to connect different digital activities. Current apps are mostly focused on individual tasks, but next-generation apps could make better use of smartphones' sensors and capabilities to bridge the digital and physical worlds.
This document summarizes a case study where the Alexandra Institute helped the company d60 optimize their similar product recommendation engine by moving it to the Azure cloud. The key challenges were that d60's large market basket analysis datasets did not fit in memory for efficient processing. The solution involved distributing the work of the FP-growth algorithm across cloud nodes by breaking the data into buckets and processing each bucket independently using a message-driven approach. This distributed implementation significantly improved performance over the single-node approach.
This document discusses cloud computing security challenges. It identifies 14 specific challenges such as migrating personal information and sensitive data to the cloud, ensuring compliance with data protection directives, managing access and identities, securing hypervisors and virtual operating systems, attracting hackers as cloud presents a high value target, and issues with cloud forensics and data discovery. It also maps these 14 challenges to relevant domains in cloud security like governance, legal and electronic discovery, encryption, identity and access management, compliance, and incident response. The document was created by Alexandra Institute on cloud computing security and provides a link for more information.
This document discusses the concept of "Ekko af byen" or "Echo of the City" and interactive spaces within and surrounding a public library. It explores principles of environmental awareness and context-sensitivity, examining different areas outside and within the adult and children's sections of the library. The document presents the concept of an interactive library that is responsive to its surroundings and adaptable to the needs of its users.

- mængden af data vokser så enormt, at vi ikke magter at udnytte dem optimalt. De mange apparater på nettet sender data, der skal analyseres og vurderes Store nye typer software til for at man kan udnytte de massive datamængder der produceres f.eks. i energi- og finanssektoren, og denne software skal kunne fortolke de mange data og fungere som beslutningsstøtte.
