English book 4 teacher 2015 - 2016
The document provides guidelines for promoting inclusive and non-discriminatory language in educational materials published by the Ecuadorian Ministry of Education. It aims to combat sexism and promote gender equality. To achieve this, the Ministry recommends using gender-neutral words like "people" instead of "men" and "teaching staff" instead of "teachers". When neutral terms do not exist, the masculine form will be used generically to refer to both women and men. This practice is recommended by the Royal Spanish Academy and aims to avoid wordiness while allowing collective groups to be referred to using masculine grammar. The document is signed by the President of Ecuador and education officials.

Conjunctions Notes and Exercise By Kelvin
1. Conjunctions are words that link words, phrases, and clauses together. They allow for more complex sentences to be formed rather than a series of short, choppy sentences.
2. There are three main types of conjunctions: coordinating conjunctions join elements of equal grammatical rank, correlative conjunctions work in pairs, and subordinating conjunctions join independent and dependent clauses.
3. Exercises are provided to help understand the different conjunctions, including filling in sentences with the correct conjunction based on meaning and structure.
Concession Clauses
This document discusses concession clauses, which are used to express unexpected or surprising information. It defines concession as an opposing idea that readers do not expect. Common concession words include although, even though, and though. These words combine two independent clauses, with the concession clause being less important. The document also discusses despite the fact that/in spite of the fact that as concessions, and contrasts their grammar with despite/in spite of. Several examples are provided and exercises ask the reader to rephrase sentences using concession words and identify concession words in sentences.

Elm3 chart06 03
An adverb clause of contrast uses words like although, though, even though, while, or but to show an unexpected or contrasting relationship between two clauses. These words imply concession by suggesting something is true although or while something else may also be true. Adverb clauses of contrast often come before or after the main clause depending on if they contrast two aspects of the same thing or two different things. There are also other ways to show contrast between independent clauses using constructions with but, despite, or in spite of.

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Contrastwords
- 1. CONTRAST WORDS: When we want to make two points, and emphasize that one of them contrasts with the other, there are a number of different words and expressions that we can use.
- 6. However and nevertheless emphasize the fact that the second thing that you are saying contrasts with the first. Nevertheless is more formal . However and Nevertheless are always followed by a COMMA The government vowed to reduce inflation. Nevertheless , one year later, the rate has increased by 3 percent. The children had a lovely day. However , they arrived home very sunburnt.
- 7. In spite of + noun is very similar to although + clause In spite of and despite can be followed by an -ing form. We can also use despite + noun in the same way as in spite of in more formal English: He went to the gym in spite of his broken leg (= although he had a broken leg ) He looks very fit in spite of his age (= although he's very old ) In spite of not being able to swim, she survived for almost an hour in the sea. We went to the party despite being tired . We went to the party despite the rain .
