This document discusses teaching and assessment practices for 21st century classrooms. It outlines characteristics of 21st century learners such as communication, collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and adaptability. Key 21st century skills are defined, including creativity, innovation, information literacy, and flexibility. The document explains how formative and summative assessments are used to evaluate these skills. Formative assessment occurs throughout learning to provide feedback, while summative assessment evaluates mastery of skills and content at the end of a learning period through products and performances.
El documento describe la organización de los Circuitos Judiciales Penales en Venezuela. Estos circuitos estarán formados por una Corte de Apelaciones compuesta por al menos tres jueces profesionales, y un Tribunal de Primera Instancia integrado por jueces profesionales que ejercerán funciones de control, juicio y ejecución de sentencia de forma rotativa. Cada circuito deberá contar con un sistema de turnos para que al menos un juez de control esté disponible para atender asuntos urgentes fuera del horario normal.
The document discusses prospective scenarios for the future organization. It suggests that organizations in the future may reduce obesity by derecruiting employees who were hired when not truly needed. Future scenarios envision empty handshakes instead of golden handshakes, trainee-centered learning over trainer-centered training, and two-way communication replacing top-down communication. Competition between companies is expected to increase while the need for creativity and changing structures will also rise. The document also examines how Indian ethos relating to goals, stages of life, and means of achieving goals can be valuable for modern organizations and management. It posits that successful executives of the future will need clear self-insight and equanimity to view successes and failures impartially
The document discusses the history and importance of chocolate in human civilization. It notes that chocolate originated in Mesoamerica over 3000 years ago and was prized by the Aztecs and Mayans for its taste. Cocoa beans were used as currency and their cultivation was tightly regulated. The Spanish brought cocoa beans back to Europe in the 16th century, starting chocolate's global spread and popularity as both a drink and confection.
This document summarizes guidelines for the evidence-based management of anticoagulant therapy. It provides recommendations on issues like initiating and maintaining vitamin K antagonist therapy, monitoring frequency, managing out-of-range INR values, bridging with heparin, and reversing anticoagulation in bleeding events. The recommendations are based on systematic reviews of available evidence, though the evidence was often low quality only allowing weak recommendations for most questions. Major endorsing organizations of the guidelines are listed.
This document provides an overview of India, including that it is the world's second most populous nation, has a population of over 1.2 billion people, and has an area of around 3,000 km wide and a shoreline of 7,000 km. It discusses India's early civilization in the Indus Valley from 4000-2500 BC and the influence of Aryan invaders in 1500 BC who established Hinduism and the caste system. It also briefly outlines India's main topographic regions, languages including Hindi, major religions, and important historical figures like Mahatma Gandhi.
Mia was in a severe car accident that killed her family and left her in a coma. As she hovers between life and death, she reflects on her past with her loving family and boyfriend Adam. At the hospital, Adam desperately tries to see Mia but is prevented from entering the ICU. With her family gone and only Adam begging her to stay, Mia must make the most important decision of whether to live or let go.

Peace education aims to transform behaviors that cause or exacerbate conflict through cultivating knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values related to nonviolence, justice, and environmental sustainability. It takes a holistic approach, addressing cognitive, affective, and active dimensions of learning to build awareness, elicit concern, and encourage personal and social action. The goal is to promote both negative peace, meaning the absence of violence or war, and positive peace, characterized by just, non-exploitative relationships and human and ecological well-being to reduce root causes of conflicts.
This document discusses radiation and radioactive pollution. It defines radiation as particles and energy emitted by unstable atoms during radioactive decay. Radiation comes from both natural sources like the sun and human activities like nuclear power plants and medical treatments. It also causes radioactive pollution when emitted into the air, water or soil. The effects of radiation on humans can include burns, cancer and death. However, radiation also has many beneficial uses in areas like medicine, communication and science. The document concludes with emphasizing the importance of safety measures and pollution prevention to minimize risks from radiation while allowing its productive applications.
The document discusses unemployment and its causes, effects, and types. It notes that over 70% of the Philippines' labor force has low levels of education. Unemployment can cause mental health issues, loss of income, and loss of skills over time. The main types of unemployment mentioned are seasonal, cyclical, frictional, technical, and disguised unemployment. The document also discusses underemployment and argues that vocational training could help address mismatches between education and labor market needs. It notes vocational programs provide practical skills without the costs of more formal schooling.
This document defines and discusses educational technology. It states that educational technology is the development, application, and evaluation of systems, techniques, and aids to improve the process of human learning. It involves using a combination of human and non-human resources to design, implement, and evaluate the total learning and teaching process based on research in human learning and communication. Educational technology applies the results of research studies and materials, both traditional and non-material aids, to improve teaching and learning.
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a new multiplier-accumulator (MAC) architecture for high-speed performance in digital signal processing applications. The proposed MAC architecture improves performance by combining the accumulator with the carry save adder tree, reducing the critical path. It also uses a modified Booth algorithm to reduce the number of partial products and a carry look-ahead adder to decrease the number of bits to the final adder. Experimental results show the proposed MAC architecture achieves a 35% reduction in delay compared to existing architectures.
This document discusses image registration using mutual information. It describes mutual information as a similarity measure that is robust to illumination changes, modality differences, and occlusions. It can accurately register both monomodal and multimodal images in real-time. The document evaluates three optimization techniques for mutual information-based registration - gradient descent, conjugate gradient, and random search. Gradient descent produced the most accurate registrations with the lowest error values. Entropy, mutual information, and error values are calculated and reported to evaluate the registration results for both mono and multimodal images. Gradient descent optimization achieved the best alignment between images as indicated by the increased mutual information and decreased error values after registration.
This document discusses database access pattern protection using a partial shuffle scheme. It proposes a new encryption algorithm called Reverse Encryption Algorithm (REA) that aims to provide security while limiting performance degradation from encryption. It also discusses prior work on Private Information Retrieval (PIR) techniques and their limitations. The key idea of the proposed scheme is to introduce a trusted component that shuffles only a portion of the database periodically, providing privacy assurances similar to PIR but with lower computation costs than a full database shuffle each time.
Mbusi Ray Sibanda is seeking a position that allows him to focus fully on his duties and continue learning new skills. He has experience in baking, food preparation, operating machines, domestic work, security guarding, and working as a waiter and cook's assistant. His education includes ordinary level certificates in English and Ndebele as well as a certificate in customer care. He provides references from previous employers in Zimbabwe and his current lodge in South Africa.
