CILIP Cymru Wales Conference 2019: Off The Shelf – Reading For Wellbeing at U...CILIP
Research shows that reading for pleasure reduces stress and depression, lowers the risk of dementia and leads to a stronger sense of identity and social inclusion. Taking inspiration from the global ‘Book Fairy’ phenomenon, our ‘Off The Shelf’ outreach campaign has been designed to stimulate the emotional and physical wellbeing of our students and staff through access to fiction and non-fiction texts, for pleasure, via a series of themed campus book-drops. This paper will examine the research and outline the details of our campaign from inception to delivery, reflecting on the wider impact we hope to achieve within the HE wellbeing agenda.

Libraries & STEM Learning: Results from a Survey of Libraries Across the UK a...Keliann LaConte
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning is a key part of conversations about education, policy, the economy, and our future. Libraries continue to be trusted venues for lifelong learning — the "living room" of the community in the digital age — and many include STEM among their events and services. As our communities continue to evolve in the 21st century, what are possible directions for libraries and their collaborators to bring STEM experiences to diverse learners? Library professionals from various communities across England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, and Ireland participated in research to describe the many benefits of offering STEM learning for library customers — and also highlight the many factors that hinder this important work.
This slide set presents insights collected from August - December 2019 through 89 survey respondents and 17 interviewees from public libraries, who participated anonymously in a Fulbright Global Scholar project, which was hosted by the University of Edinburgh’s School of GeoSciences.
Consider using this slide set to start a conversation with other organizations in your community, such as schools, universities, historic environment organisations, government agencies and industries.
Please include due acknowledgement and attribution to Keliann LaConte for all research summary material. Contact the author to discuss any use of this material outside of context.
Together, we can increase the public’s access to innovative — and fun! — STEM learning experiences.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
