Ecology is important for many areas including water management, soil conservation, agriculture, wildlife management, aquaculture, land use, and pollution control. When constructing dams, an ecologist should study ecological aspects like soil erosion and wind to prevent sediment buildup. Ecology can help study topography, climate, and soil erosion for soil conservation and identify suitable conditions for agriculture, wildlife habitats, aquaculture, construction projects, and addressing the causes of pollution. Proper ecological studies are needed to understand forests and sustainably use land.

Ecology is the scientific study of organisms `at home' which is called as the `environment'. The term `environment' refers to those parts of the world or the total set of circumstances which surround an organism or a group of organisms.
Ecological Succession is the process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over a period of time.
But, over a long period of time, the climate conditions of an ecosystem is bound to change.
No ecosystem has existed or will remain unchanged over a Geological Time Scale.
Points on biomes,habitat,ecotone and their differentations.

Ecology of Education and Service-Learning: Perspectives on teaching & learningOhio Campus Compact
Presentation includes an introduction to Service-Learning; Strengths of Service-Learning, Outcomes & Strengths of Service-Learning and basics of creating a Service-Learning course syllabus
: Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project, will discuss the Project’s most recent findings about Americans use the internet and their mobile devices to learn, share, and create information. He will discuss how the changed media environment is affecting learners’ expectations about the availability of information and the ways in which learning takes place. In this new environment, the traditional boundaries between home and school, teacher and pupil, public and private are breaking down and that is affecting the way learning occurs. Lee will describe how Pew Internet has looked at these subjects and the ways in which schools and families are responding to them.
Tourism Investment Opportunities in Northern UgandaTom Loughran
From the forward:
The departure of the Lord’s Resistance Army has breathed new life into northern Uganda. The region is enjoying more visitors and its reputation as a “no go” area is being gradually reversed. Improved security is allowing the rapid development of the region and generating increasing interest from businesses and tourists alike.
With this in mind, the Wildlife Conservation Society and the Uganda Tourism Association have undertaken a study, with support from USAID through the WILD programme, to gauge the potential of tourism in northern Uganda and to promote its development and expansion. The study focused on untapped or underutilized attractions in Nebbi, Arua, Moyo and Adjumani Districts in the West Nile sub-region; Amuru, Gulu, Lamwo, Kitgum and Pader Districts in the central part of the Northern Region and Kaabong District in Karamoja. Murchison Falls National Park was not included in this study in light of its already well-developed tourism infrastructure.
This publication is the result of that study and its purpose is to introduce prospective investors to the variety of natural, cultural and historical attractions in the region that can be drawn on for tourism. It also is intended to support the Ugandan government’s plans to diversify tourism products within the country – particularly along the Nile. It is our hope that it will inspire responsible private and government investment that will bring economic benefits to the local communities as well as protect and preserve the area’s varied and unique resources.
The Wildlife Conservation Society is thankful to Charles Abola and Jim Ayorekire of Image Consult for carrying out this study. We also acknowledge the valuable contributions of the Uganda Wildlife Authority, the National Forestry Authority, Uganda Museums, the Ministry of Trade, Tourism and Industry, the Ugandan Tourist Board and relevant district officials to this study, in addition to the development of Uganda’s tourism industry as a whole. We also appreciate the valuable input from private sector companies, who have shown genuine interest in the opportunities provided by northern Uganda.
A final word of thanks goes to USAID for its generous support to conservation and tourism in Uganda in general and the WILD programme in particular. It is USAID’s assistance that supported the study and allowed this brochure to be developed and printed.
Northern Uganda is open for business and tourists!

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
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.

Applications of ecology
1.
2.
3. Ecology is very important subject it has
applications in major areas such as
Water shed Management
Soil conservation
Agriculture
Wild life Management
Aqua Culture
Land Utilization
Pollution
4. Water is stored in Dams or Reservoirs for the
purpose of electricity production at the time of
construction of Dams there should be a ecologist
to see ecological aspects.
The major aspects are soil erosion and wind
because these two aspects can fill the Dams
(silting up)
5. Now a days many factors are disturbing the soil.
Many cultivated lands are being disturbed by
construction of buildings or any other residential
areas.
With the help of ecology we can study the
topography, climate conditions, soil erosion
These are important aspects of ecology for soil
conservation.
6. For agriculture of crops following aspects are
important
Soil, mineral composition, Tempeture,biotec
factors of the area
All these factors are studied by an ecologist so
without information of all aspects it will be very
difficult to grow a plants and it can result in
economic loss.
7. For the establishment of wild life, vegetation of
area have major role for different species of
animals.
There will be different types of food web and food
chains both these are equally important.
So for habitat of different species in wild life
ecology studies are important.
8. The rearing and breeding of fish in water is called
aqua culture.
The ratio of predators in aqua culture is important
so for fish culturing there should be dense
population of fish then other types of animals.
Other ecological studies such as temperature and
soil conditions are important in fish culturing.
Heavy soil are more important for fish culturing.
9. For the use of land for the purpose of construction,
cultivation, ecological studies have much
importance e.g; if we cultivate a crop in an area
soil nutrition composition, process of soil erosion
and the avability of water are important.
In case of construction of building or house in
topography of area, location is important.
10. Any physical, chemical or biochemical undesirable
changes in environment, soil or water or
environment is called pollution.
For the control of pollution, we have to studies
causes of pollution. These causes can be controlled
be ecological studies.
11. There are two types of forest
Natural forest
Artificial forest
Natural forest are present in under natural
condition and mostly have self growing plants.
Artificial forest are men made.
Forests are important for oxygen, timber, living
area for wild life, habitat of different species
depending upon the importance of forest. Men are
trying to plant the plants for these purpose.
12. Following aspect are important;
Water availability
Soil minerals
Temperature
Biotic factors
These aspects are studied by an ecologist.
