There are over 30 species of dolphins found worldwide. They live mainly in saltwater oceans and seas, though some species can live in freshwater. Dolphin species vary in size, coloration, fin shape, and skull structure. The most common species is the bottlenose dolphin, known for its intelligence. River dolphins live in freshwater habitats in South America and Asia. The rough-toothed dolphin prefers deep waters and lacks a melon crease found in other dolphins. Species identification can be determined by characteristics such as the Risso dolphin's square head or the striped dolphin's blue and white stripes.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
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.

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.

2. Their Body Parts
• Dolphins have many body parts but many people do not know the real
names of them. Can you name them all?
3. Facts
• There are 36 species of dolphins found in the world.There are 32
marine dolphins, and 4 river dolphins. They live mainly in saltwater
such as the oceans but some of them live in freshwater and they are
able to do very well there. They tend to live in the shallow water by the
coast and they tend to live in warmer locations. The name dolphin
comes from the word womb, and it is believed to be the Greek saying
for fish with a womb You may hear dolphins referred to by various
names. The young are called calves and the female adults are cows.
The male adults are bulls and a group of them is often called a pod.
Sometimes, you may hear them referred to as school.
4. facts
The distinctive populations of them stem from the DNA code. What has
been noted is that the different species have vary different codes
which sets them apart from each other far more than researchers had
originally believed. The DNA code is how a discovery was made that
identified a separate species of dolphin than what had been looked at
before.
In 2011, a new dolphin’s species was found in Big City Harbor around
Australia. The Burundian Dolphin is believed to be only in two areas at
this time. There are about 100 of them in Port Phillip Bay around
Melbourne and about 50 more of them in the coastal lakes of
Gippsland which is about 100 miles away.
Studies also indicate that there are differences among the species of
dolphins in terms of their skull size and design. When they are looked
at closely, there are slight variations that have been noted. There are
some other differences too including some having a curved dorsal fin
instead of straight and changes to the snout. Here is some information
about some of the commonly known species. It can be an interesting
though to take one at a time and learn more about them.
The type of dolphin you will see in a given area depends on environmental
factors such as enough food and the temperature. The time of year
also is a factor due to the heavy migrational efforts of most dolphins.
Perhaps the most common of all dolphins is the Bottlenose Dolphin.
This is the one you often see in books, movies, and when you visit an
aquarium. They are very intelligent, easy to train, and they are more
likely to approach humans in the wild than other species.

River Dolphins live in freshwater, and they are found in a variety of rivers
around South America and Asia. They are smaller than most dolphins, with
an average size of about 8 feet when fully mature. They can be various
colors too including brown, gray, or black.
The Roughed Tooth Dolphin is harder to spot out there in bodies of water because they prefer the deeper locations. They
can weigh about 350 pounds and measure about 8 ½ feet long. They have a small head and feature a long beak. They
are also lacking the common crease on the melon that other dolphins have.

7. facts• The square shaded head of the Risso Dolphin is a telling sign of what
species you are seeing. They don’t have any teeth in the upper jaw
but they have several peg like teeth on the bottom jaw. They are
frequently found in captivity on display because they thrive in such an
environment.
The Striped Dolphin gets its name from the blue and white stripes on the
body. This species is believed to have the highest population as well
as the biggest overall distribution of that population. If you want to be
impressed by acrobatics, check out the Spinner Dolphin. People love
to see them perform both in the wild and when they have been trained
in captivity.
The Common Dolphin is very simple in design, but also very respected in
the early cultures. Researchers have found items from the Ancient
Greek and Roman times. The Dusky Dolphins tend to live in water
that is cooler than the temperatures for other species of dolphins.
They can be found along the coastal regions as well.
The Killer Whale is believed to be the most powerful of the dolphins due to
their size and their strength. They can take down seals effortlessly
which is important due to the significant volume of food that they can
consume on a daily basis. The Pilot Whale can weigh up to 5,000
pounds and be up to 24 feet long. They are believed to be the most
social of the dolphin species. They are also very vulnerable to
