The document summarizes the key components and processes of the human digestive system. It describes how the digestive system breaks down the three main macromolecules (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids) through both physical and chemical digestion using mechanical and enzymatic actions. Various organs and glands secrete enzymes and acids that break down nutrients into smaller components as food moves through the alimentary canal, culminating in the absorption of nutrients and elimination of waste.
The digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal tract—also called the GI tract or digestive tract—and the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. ... The hollow organs that make up the GI tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus.
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.

"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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

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.

3. Overview of Digestive System
Please read but do not take notes on this slide.
• The digestive system consists of the alimentary canal as well as
the organs and glands that contribute digestive enzymes and
other products to specific portions of the canal.
• In processing the food you eat, your digestive system uses
mechanical and chemical methods.
• Three major types of macromolecules must be broken down
during digestion—carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids.
– When these macromolecules are broken down sufficiently—
into individual glucose monomers, amino acids, and fatty
acids, respectively—those components (and water) must be
absorbed into the body at the small intestine.
• Wastes proceed through the large intestine, where the feces
form and more water is absorbed.
5. Physical Digestion
• Mechanical Digestion
• Macromolecule is PHYSICALLY broken
down into SMALLER pieces in order to
increase SURFACE area to maximize
ENZYME action.
• Examples:
– Chewing
– Churning
6. Chemical Digestion
• Digestive enzymes are involved by
CHEMICALLY breaking the bonds on
the macromolecules until MONOMERS
are formed.
• Examples:
– Salivary amylase breaks down starch
7.
8. Route of Digestion
• Mouth
• Pharynx
• Esophagus
• Stomach
• Small intestine
• Large intestine
• Anus
9. As food directly passes through the
gastrointestinal tract
or
alimentary canal
specific secretions that aid in digestion
are released along the way.
10.
11. Accessory Organs
• Aids in digestion
• BUT…
• Food does NOT pass into these organs.
• Instead these organs SECRETE fluids that will
enter the alimentary canal through DUCTS.
• Examples:
– Liver – Pancreas
– Gallbladder – Salivary Glands
28. Secretin
• FUNCTION
– Small intestine
• MADE
– Intestinal glands
• PURPOSE
– Hormone that stimulates the liver and
pancreas to secrete fluid
29. Bile
