This thesis is motivated by the steep increase in grass-root content production and the transformation of Web2.0 consumers into “prosumers”, a concept that pre-dated the web itself (Toffler 1980). The notion of “prosumers” in the Web 2.0 and beyond presumes an increasingly wider-scale ability for content creation with a much deeper understanding of the implications and associated risks (at all levels from quality to IPR and copyright aspects). Technology today offers the possibility to easily master complex processes such as video/image editing with a home computer or a laptop yet this is not sufficient for managing all the decision points involved in an informed fashion. The widespread availability of office-automation solutions powerful enough to handle fairly complex processes of monitoring and management, raises the research question as to the feasibility of providing a didactic model and support tools that could better serve the increased desire of web users to become content producers.

User modelling in didactic applications icce1999 A pragmatic approachLuisa Mich
This presentation sets out a quantitative theory of the interaction among "subjects" which allows a description of the pragmatic aspects of communication. Within a system of interacting subjects each individual is described by a set of interaction parameters. In this way an interaction pattern relative to each subject can be defined. The model provides a "change law" which describes the evolution of individual patterns as a consequence of different communication events. This allows interaction deficiencies to be identified and suggests strategies for dealing with them. The theory was first developed in the area of clinical psychiatry and underwent two kinds of external verification: one psychometric-diagnostic, the other clinical. It was then applied to an economic environment in the behavioral study of decision-making processes. We suggest that it may be applied also in computerized environments for cooperation support.
The Industrial Revolution ushered in a period of rapid societal transformation in the nineteenth century. The literary heavyweights of the time captured the turbulent century from a variety of perspectives. These writers provided a broad and interesting portrayal of a world in change through poetry, novels, short stories, and other genres.
One of these writers was Charles Dickens, the most well-known Victorian author. Dickens acquired work habits that enabled him to create long and engaging works, despite his rough upbringing. Most of Dickens's novels were published in serial form over weeks or months in newspapers.
Dickens used his writings to analyze and criticize the social structure of England at the time. He chronicled Victorian England's socioeconomic realities in famous novels such as Oliver Twist, A Tale of Two Cities, and Great Expectations. His writings frequently discussed class differences, poverty, and ambition that existed during the Industrial Revolution in London.
Edgar Allan Poe is another notable writer of the 19th century. Despite not living a very long life, his work positioned him as one of the most significant writers in history. Poe was the father of the short story form, a poet, and a critic.
His gloomy literary style was characterized by a fascination with the macabre and the mysterious. He influenced the development of genres, including horror and detective fiction. Poe's tumultuous background has hinted as to how he came up with the dark stories and poems for which he is most known today.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Edgar Allan Poe was born on January 19th 1809
and he died on October 7th1849. He was an
American author, poet, editor, and literary critic,
considered part of the American Romantic
Movement. Poe was one of the earliest American
practitioners of the short story and he is
generally considered the inventor of the
detective fiction genre. He had an incredible
and interesting life and career.
3. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts, the second
child of the English actress Elizabeth Arnold
Hopkins Poe and actor David Poe, Jr. He had an
elder brother, William Henry Leonard Poe, and a
younger sister, Rosalie Poe. Their grandfather,
David Poe, had emigrated from Cavan, Ireland, to
America around the year 1750. Edgar may have
been named after a character in William
Shakespeare's King Lear, a play the couple was
performing in 1809. Poe was then taken into the
home of John Allan, a successful Scottish merchant
in Richmond, Virginia. The Allans served as a foster
family and gave him the name "Edgar Allan Poe",
though they never formally adopted him.
4. Poe's best known fiction works are Gothic, a genre
he followed to appease the public taste. His most
recurring themes deal with questions of death,
including its physical signs, the effects of
decomposition, concerns of premature burial, the
reanimation of the dead, and mourning. Many of his
works are generally considered part of the dark
Romanticism genre. Poe once wrote in a letter to
Thomas Holley Chivers that he did not dislike
Transcendentalists.
Poe also wrote satires and humor tales. For comic
effect, he used irony and ludicrous extravagance .
Poe also reinvented science fiction.
5. -THEORY He disliked didacticism and allegory, though he
believed that meaning in literature should be an undercurrent
just beneath the surface. In the end, he believed that the writer
should carefully calculate every sentiment and idea.
"The Raven“ has been questioned, however, whether he really
followed this system.
-INFLUENCE Poe was mostly recognized as a literary critic.
He was the most discriminating, philosophical, and fearless
critic upon imaginative works which had been written in
America.
Poe was also known as a writer of fiction and became one of
the first American authors of the 19th century to become more
popular in Europe than in the United States. Poe is particularly
respected in France, in part due to early translations by
Charles Baudelaire. Baudelaire's translations became definitive
renditions of Poe's work throughout Europe.
6. The literary period which he worked was the
Romanticism. It was an artistic, literary, and
intellectual movement that was originated in
Europe from1800 to 1850. Partly a reaction to
the Industrial Revolution, it was also a revolt
against aristocratic social and its effect on
politics was considerable; while for much of the
peak Romantic period it was associated with
liberalism and radicalism, in the long term its
effect on the growth of nationalism was
probably more significant.
7. Romanticism happened about the XIX century. The 19th
century (January 1, 1801 – December 31, 1900) was a period
in history marked by the collapse of the Spanish, First and
Second French, Holy Roman and Mughal empires. This paved
the way for the growing influence of the British Empire,
Russian Empire, German Empire, the United States and the
Empire of Japan, spurring military conflicts but also advances
in science and exploration.
After the defeat of the French Empire and its allies in the
Napoleonic Wars. Numerous cities worldwide surpassed
populations of a million or more during this century. London
was transformed into the world's largest city and capital of the
British Empire. Its population expanded from 1 million in 1800
to 6.7 million a century later. The last remaining undiscovered
landmasses of Earth included vast expanses of interior Africa
and Asia.

9.
10. The Pit and the Pendulum is a short story
published in 1842 in the literary annual The
Gift: A Christmas and New Year's Present for
1843. The story is about the torments endured
by a prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition, though
Poe skews historical facts. The narrator of the
story describes his experience of being
tortured. The traditional elements established in
popular horror tales at the time are followed,
but critical reception has been mixed. The tale
has been adapted to film several times.
11.
12. William Wilson is a short story by Edgar Allan
Poe, published in 1839, with a setting inspired
by Poe's formative years outside London. The
tale follows the theme of the doppelgänger and
is written in a style based on rationality. It also
appeared in the 1840 collection Tales of the
Grotesque and Arabesque, and has been
adapted several times.
13.
14. The Black Cat is a short story which was first
published in the August 19, 1843, edition of
The Saturday Evening Post. It is a study of the
psychology of guilt, often paired in analysis with
Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart". In both, a murderer
carefully conceals his crime and believes himself
unassailable, but eventually breaks down and
reveals himself, impelled by a nagging reminder
of his guilt.
