Final Theme Project
The goal of this course is to explore pre-modern encounters between people of different civilizations and cultural regions. Early in the term I asked you to select one of the 7 themes this course for your preferred area of focus. In the final project you will select a topic from within that theme and apply the techniques that historians use in analysis.
These are the two different approaches that we will use. Choose one.
• Studying a subject by how it changes over time: Trace a limited topic through history (up to 1500 CE) Compare its change over at least three different points in time.
• Studying a subject in the same time period but across several different locations and cultures: Analyze the impact and interaction between two –three societies.
Regardless of which approach you use, your final paper should include a discussion of the impact this topic has had in shaping our world today.
TIMELINE FOR FINAL THEME PROJECT
NOW: Select theme. Throughout the remaining weeks you can use this to guide your selection of modular learning topics to align with your chosen area. You might want to expand on one of these topics for your project. It will be helpful to keep note of speculations and questions that pop-up during the readings. They could lead to potential topics.
DETERMINE YOUR TOPIC. You will need to decide upon a World History topic from within your chosen theme and then narrow it down to either approach #1 or #2. From this you will write a research statement explaining your position for your written paper.
WRITE A THESIS STATEMENT that makes a statement about global history. Your statement should
1. Connect to your chosen theme
2. Articulate which of the two approaches you will pursue.
3. Be approved by your instructor
WRITE YOUR THEME PAPER
1. Your final theme paper should be approximately 3-5 pages long.
2. Include a source page as the final page
3. It should contain at least 5 sources. At least one of them should be a primary source. Images and maps are acceptable sources with appropriate citations.
I encourage you to submit a draft early and I will be happy to review it with you before final submission.
For the final project topic, my course theme is science and technology, then I will study the changes of the three industrial revolutions.
Unit 3 Graphing Exercise (watch lecture 3.6 first)
On Greenhouse Gas Contributions by Countries
Greenhouse gases are gases that cause the temperature of Earth's atmosphere to rise. Thus, these are the gases that are causing man-made Global Warming to occur. Their primary source is the burning of fossil fuels, but there are others that are discussed in the lectures. Considering this fact, it should make sense that larger countries and richer countries typically produce more of these gases than smaller and/or poorer countries.
In this graphing exercise you'll be able to visualize the cumulative contribution of greenhouse gases by various countries. In this case, the percentages .

Do not delete any part of this document. (I need it all for grading purposes.)
Format: This Word document is already formatted correctly for spacing, width, and font type and font size. I’ve placed three “returns” or blank lines after each question, so you can place your cursor at the second “return” and begin to type; this will keep you within the 6-in margins and in proper format.
Do not bold or italicize your answers. Keep your answers left justified within the 6-inch text width and keep the single spacing. Do not indent your response. Points will be subtracted if I have to edit your document. It takes time to edit all your documents!
Citing your textbook: For most answers, you’ll be using your textbook, so it is only necessary to cite it once at the bottom of the document, but you must include page numbers after each answer. If you are using an older edition, you must indicate this in the citation.
For essay questions: You are graded for work completed on your own and using your own words. If you do choose to copy directly from your textbook, cite the page number and use quotation marks around copied sections. Failure to do so is plagiarism, which will result in a grade of zero. Use quotes sparingly, as they do not count toward your length requirement. I do not recommend finding your answers on the internet unless specified. It will lead to trouble. If you insist, please fully cite your references.
How much to write: You know how in-depth you must be by looking at the number of points assigned for each question. Use this generalization: 58 – 68 words per point, depending on how concise you are; so a 3-point question requires around 175-200 words to answer fully; a 5-point question requires around 290- 330 words.

Introduction
Energy is required by living organisms for
movement, transport, and growth. Nothing
happens without energy! The Sun is the
ultimate source of virtually all energy on the
planet Earth. Solar energy is captured by
plants through the process of photosynthesis.
The glucose molecules holding this energy are
broken down by metabolic processes, creating
usable energy for living systems.
Cellular respiration is a series of reactions in
which glucose molecules are broken down,
releasing stored chemical bond energy
(Figure 6.1). The released energy is used to
make the energy rich molecule ATP
(adenosine triphosphate). Carbon dioxide is
released as a by-product of the breakdown of
glucose. It is a crucial by-product from the
perspective of plants, because they need CO2
to perform photosynthesis.
Glycolysis is the first step in cellular
respiration, and it results in the net production
of two ATP molecules. In glycolysis, the 6-
carbon glucose molecules are “split” into two,
3-carbon pyruvate (pyruvic acid) molecules.
LAB TOPIC 6: RESPIRATION
Pyruvate has two potential routes – aerobic
respiration or anaerobic respiration [as either
lactate fermentation or alcohol fermentation]
(Figure 6.1).
1
In laboratory today, you will be examining
respiration in organisms that use aerobic
respiration, which makes use of oxygen. In
this pathway, pyruvate is broken down
completely, and h igh-energy electrons are
stripped away and passed through a series of
electron carriers. Energy is released at each
transfer, and is used to make a net 34 ATP
molecules. Oxygen is the final electron
acceptor in the electron transport system,
hence the name aerobic cellular respiration. In
lecture you will compare this process to
anaerobic respiration, which occurs in the
absence of oxygen or under low oxygen
conditions. The equation below summarizes
the process of aerobic respiration:

*This template will provide you with the details necessary to begin a quality Final Lab Report. Utilize this template to complete the Week 3 Outline of the Final Lab Report and ensure that you are providing all of the necessary information and proper format for the assignment. Before you begin, please note the following important information:
1. Carefully review the Final Lab Report instructions before you begin this assignment
2. The Final Lab Report should cover all 3 experiments from your Week Two Lab
3. As you plan your final paper, think about how you can combine these laboratories to tell a fact-based story about water quality. For example, consider how your experiments can be linked to issues at water treatment plants or the amount of bottled water people purchase.
4. For further help see the Sample Final Lab Report for an example of a final product on a different topic.
5. You may simply replace the text following the bold terms with the appropriate outline information to complete this assignment. Make sure to pay close attention to the information called for and provide all necessary material.
Title
Introduction
Body Paragraph #1 - Background: The outline of the introduction should describe the background of water quality and related issues using cited examples. You should include scholarly sources in this section to help explain why water quality research is important to society. When outlining this section, make sure to at least list relevant resources in APA format that will be used in the final paper to develop the background for your experiment.
Body Paragraph # 2 - Objective: The outline of the introduction should also contain the objective for your study. This objective is the reason why the experiment is being done. Your outline should provide an objective that describes why we want to know the answer to the questions we are asking.
Body Paragraph # 3 - Hypotheses: Finally, the introduction should end with your hypotheses. The outline should include a hypothesis for each one of the three experiments. These hypotheses should be the same ones posed before you began your experiments. You may reword them following feedback from your instructor to illustrate a proper hypothesis, however, you should not adjust them to reflect the “right” answer. You do not lose points for an incorrect hypothesis; scientists often revise their hypotheses based on scientific evidence following an experiment.
Materials and Methods
Body Paragraph # 1: The outline of the materials and methods section should provide a brief description of the specialized materials used in your experiment and how they were used. This section needs to summarize the instructions with enough detail so that an outsider who does not have a copy of the lab instructions knows what you did. However, this does not mean writing every little step like “dip the .
Learning ObjectivesDefine the International System of.docxwashingtonrosy
Learning Objectives
Define the International System of Units (measurement system).
Define a unit of measurement and demonstrate the ability to convert measurements.
Define length, temperature, time, volume, mass, density, and concentration.
Define significant figures and describe measurement techniques.
Introduction
Just like you and your friend communicate using the same language, scientists all over the world need to use the same language when reporting the measurements they make. This language is called the metric system. In this lesson we will cover the metric units for length, mass, density, volume and temperature, and also discuss how to convert among them.
Metric Measurement
What do all of these words have in common: thermometer, barometer, diameter, odometer and parameter? All of these words end in
-meter
. You have probably heard this word before, but what does it mean? Meter at the end of a word means
measure
. You use all kinds of measurements each day. How much sugar is needed in the cookies you are baking? Will it be warm enough to leave your jacket at home? How fast are you driving? How much will a bag of apples cost? How much time will it take you to get home from work?
The units of measure in the English and metric systems
Most Americans are taught the English or standard system of measurement, but never get a good dose of the metric system. Lucky for you, it is a much easier system to learn than the English system because all the measurements are
base 10
- meaning that when you are converting from one to another, you will always be multiplying or dividing by a multiple of
10
. This is much easier than trying to do calculations between ounces and pounds, and feet and miles.
Because you may not be used to thinking metrically, it may take a little practice using and working with the metric system before you gain a better understanding of it and become more fluent in the measurement language of scientists (and most non-Americans). I challenge you to sprinkle a little more metric in your life. Maybe read the milliliter measurement on your soda can or glance at the kilometer reading on your speedometer. Being able to picture metric quantities will really help with the rest of this course.
Length
We are going to start with the units of length so we can get back to this word meter that we started out with. The meter is the basic unit of length in the metric system. A meter is a tiny bit longer than a yard. For distances much longer than a meter, you would add the prefix kilo- to make the measurement kilometer. A kilometer is the metric version of our mile, even though it is a bit shorter than our mile. A kilometer is equivalent to exactly 1,000 meters. Any unit that has the word kilo- in front of it is equivalent to 1,000 units. You can attach the prefix kilo- to just about anything. If something takes 1,000 seconds, it takes a kilosecond. If a forest has 1,000 trees, it has a kilotree. .
The real reason for climate change and what is driving the changes. No model is any batter then the predictive results, the validation is therefore very easy to determine.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
