Environmental Treaties and Legislation.pptxFNStar1
"Explore vital environmental treaties like the Paris Agreement and Kyoto Protocol alongside significant national legislation such as the Clean Air Act. Highlight recent advancements and emphasize global cooperation for sustainable environmental stewardship in a dynamic and interconnected world."
Sustainable development is defined as development that satisfies the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to satisfy theirs. Sustainable development insists on the need to protect the diversity of genes, species, and all terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems in nature. This is possible in particular to protect the quality of the environment, and by the restoration, development, and maintenance of habitats that are essential to species.
The need for protection and conservation of environment and sustainable use of natural resources is reflected in the constitutional framework of India and also in the international commitments of India. The Constitution under Part IVA (Art 51A-Fundamental Duties) casts a duty on every citizen of India to protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wildlife, and to have compassion for living creatures. Further, the Constitution of India under Part IV (Art 48A-Directive Principles of State Policies) stipulates that the State shall endeavour to protect and improve the environment and to safeguard the forests and wildlife of the country.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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.

"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.

Environmental legislation 1
1. ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION R.B.Chavan Department of Textile Technology Indian Institute of Technology Hauz-Khas, New Delhi 110016
2. Introduction India is the first country that has integrated the protection and improvement of the environment in its constitution. There are no specific environmental laws for textile industry sector alone. industry specific standards, which the textile industry is required to comply with while setting up or operating an industrial unit. The regulatory authorities are Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) at central level State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) at state level. Enforcement is done by SPCBs .
4. Tolerance limits for industrial effluents Absent Absent Absent Absent Pesticides mg/l 5 - - 2 Sulphides mg/l 15 - 15 5 Zinc mg/l 3 - 3 3 Copper mg/l 1.0 - 2 0.1 Hexavalent chromium mg/l 250 - - 250 COD 100 100 350 30 BOD (5 days ) 20 10 20 10 Oil and grease mg/l 45 - 45 40 Temperature 0C Max. 5.5-9 5.5-9 5.5-9 5.5-9 pH - 2100 2100 2100 Dissolved solids (TDS, mg/l m - 200 600 100 Suspended solids (mg/l ) Colourless Colourless Colourless Colourless Colour and odour Into marine Coastal areas On land for irrigation Into public sewer Into inland surface water Characteristics
5. Air Pollution legislation The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, as amended by Amendment Act, 1987 The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Rules, 1982 This law defined an air pollutant as any solid, liquid or gaseous substance present in the atmosphere in such concentration as may be or tend to be injurious to human beings or other living creatures or plants or property or environment. This Act requires approval prior to operating any industrial plant. Government may suggest “control equipment” prior to giving its consent to any industry for its operation. It may include chimney etc. In case there is any new technology for emission control, then the Board may insist on this to being installed. Standards specific to industries have been specified.
6. Penalty Penalties are minimum of six months imprisonment to a maximum of seven years and fine up to Rs. 5,000 for every day during which violation continues after conviction This law makes it clear that when offences are committed by a company, its director, manager, secretary or other officers could be held guilty and punished accordingly. As the industries are running on age-old processes, outdated technology, fuel, coal as their source of energy where there are no proper installations for measurement and treatment of emissions like SO2, oxides of nitrogen, suspended particulate, etc it becomes harder and impossible to fulfill the norms of the legislative standards.
7. Noise Pollution The legislation under this includes the newly established: Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000 Increasing noise levels in public places from various sources, industrial activity, construction activity, generator sets, other mechanical devices have deleterious effects on human health and the psychological well being of the people, The GoI has considered necessary to regulate and control noise producing and generating sources with the objective of maintaining the ambient air quality standards in respect of noise.
8. The state government may categorize the areas into industrial, commercial, residential or silence areas/zones for the purpose of implementation of noise standards for different areas. The state government shall take measures to control noise including noise emanating from vehicular movements and ensure that the specified noise levels do not exceed Noise Pollution
9. A person may, if the noise level exceeds the ambient noise standards by 10 dB or more given in standards against any area/zone, can make a complaint to the authority. The authority shall act on the complaint and take action against the violator in accordance with the provisions of these rules and any other law in force.
10. Norms for noise pollution Silence zone is defined as an area comprising not less than 100 metres around hospitals, educational institutions and courts. The silence zones are declared as such by the competent authority.
11. Ozone Depletion The legislation refers to the: Ozone Depletion Substances (Regulation) Rules, 2000 Ozone (O3) is a form of oxygen in the atmosphere about 20 kms. above the earth’s surface that efficiently screens out almost all the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. This radiation has the potential to cause skin cancer, eye damage; suppress body’s immune system; decrease crop yield; cause damage to forests and affect ocean life.
12. In accordance with the National Strategy for Ozone depletion substances (ODS) phase out the GoI - MoEF, have framed comprehensive draft rules, covering various aspects of production, sale, consumption, Export and import of ODS. Some of the important provisions of the proposed draft ODS rules, are as follows:
13. important provisions of the proposed draft ODS rules Compulsory to register with MoEF Restriction on production levels Ban on creating new capacity or expansion of capacity Export restricted to countries who are signatory to Montreal Protocol Quantity produced in excess of maximum allowable consumption for the respective years, if any, to be for export purposes only.
14. Depletion of ozone layer is still a cause for concern ODS continue to be used in developing countries in refrigeration and air-conditioning, preparation of foam and spray products, fire extinguishing, and as solvents in electronics and other industries. In the textile industry chlorinated solvents like dichloromethane tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene and methylene chloride are often used in fabric scouring, dye carrier, cleaning purposes etc. with the regulations the industries are left to abate the impact of all these substances and seek for possible substitutions and alternatives
15.
16. penalty for violation of the act may be punishable by imprisonment up to seven years or fine up to Rs 100.000 Additional fine of up to Rs 5,000 for every day of violation.
17. Hazardous Substance/Waste legislation related to hazardous waste: Hazardous Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules, 1989 Manufacture, Storage, and Import of Hazardous Chemical Rules, 1989 Hazardous Wastes (Management and Handling) Amendment Rules, 2000 – Draft Notification Manufacture, Storage, transport and Import of Hazardous Chemical Amendment Rules, 2000 – Draft Notification Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 Public Liability Insurance Rules,1991 Proper handling, transport, storage and disposal of hazardous waste is probably the most important aspect of any industry. For this reason, guidelines have been issued under this set of rules.
