The document discusses strategies for communicating complex scientific issues to the public in a way that avoids exacerbating cultural divisions. It finds that simply improving the transmission of scientific information is unlikely to resolve controversies, as clarifying information will not generate consensus if it fails to consider cultural commitments. Effective communication involves appealing to a range of cultural worldviews and policy responses. Developing tools to predict and circumvent opposing cultural positions is important.

1) The document discusses the Basque Economic Agreement and new governance possibilities in the Basque Country.
2) It provides an overview of the European Union, Spain, and the Basque Country's place within the Spanish autonomous community system.
3) The Economic Agreement originated to protect the Basque territories' special tax powers and finances by putting their rules on equal legal footing with Spanish state laws governing finances.
The document argues that there can be too much wind energy due to politics prioritizing green jobs and subsidies over a scientific assessment of wind energy. As a result, wind energy provides a high cost and low benefit electrical power supply that does not deliver real value given the large subsidies required.
This document summarizes arguments against wind energy, including:
1) Wind energy relies heavily on government subsidies and does not make economic sense without them.
2) For every "green job" created by wind energy, several jobs are lost elsewhere in the economy due to higher energy costs.
3) Models used to predict job creation from wind overestimate jobs and fail to account for job losses in other sectors.
Childhood obesity, anxiety, and suicide rates have increased dramatically over the past few decades according to the CDC and medical experts. Studies show that children with mentors are less likely to use drugs or alcohol, skip school, and have better relationships. Developing executive functioning skills is a better predictor of academic success than IQ. Stress hormones contribute to health issues, while being organized and helping others decreases stress and improves mental and physical health.

Flowering plants have four main parts: roots, stems, leaves, and flowers. Roots take in water and nutrients from the soil. Leaves use photosynthesis to produce food from sunlight. Flowers produce pollen and attract pollinators to help the plant reproduce by making seeds. Seeds can sprout and grow into new plants that will also produce roots, stems, leaves, and flowers.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Unlocking Productivity: Leveraging the Potential of Copilot in Microsoft 365, a presentation by Christoforos Vlachos, Senior Solutions Manager – Modern Workplace, Uni Systems
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.

7. Sample Size: 1,540 US Adults
Instruments used to obtain results:
1) “Cultural Values” – Used a Hierarchy vs. Egalitarianism and Individualism vs.
Communitarianism Values Scale associated with studies of cultural theory of risk indicating
attitudes toward social ordering (Douglas & Wildavsky)
2) “Science Literacy” – Questions from National Science Foundation’s Science and Engineering
Indicators to test participants general knowledge of science
3) “Numeracy Level” – Series of mathematical word problems to test their mathematical literacy.
4) “Climate Change Risk Perceptions “ using a 0-10 rating scale
8. THE SCIENCE OF SCIENCE COMMUNICATION AS A PUBLIC GOOD
FINDINGS:
• As ordinary people learn more about science and become more proficient in scientific
reasoning they do not reliably support the scientific evidence
• Those with highest scientific and numeric skills are less likely to see climate change as
a threat
• Greater scientific literacy & numeracy levels = greater cultural polarization
9. CULTURAL COGNITION
“Cultural Cognition is the tendency of
people to fit their perceptions of risk
and related facts to their group
commitments.” – Dan Kahan
TWO MAIN PSYCHOLOGICAL PROCESSES CREATE CULTURAL POLARIZATION
OVER SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION:
1) Culturally biased information searching: people prefer to look for scientific
information that supports, rather than opposes, their cultural predispositions.
2) Culturally biased assimilation: When considering information from any source,
people selectively credit or discredit in accordance with their cultural predispositions,
becoming more polarized as they learn more.
11. The Science of “Science Communication”
1) The strategy focused only on improving transmission of sound scientific info is highly
unlikely to resolve controversy
2) Clarifying information on the science will not generate public consensus if the
communicators fail to look for cues about cultural commitments
3) Important to avoid accentuating cues that sustain cultural factionalization
4) Citizens most likely to be turned off when issues are laden with meanings that cause
diverse groups to form opposing positions
5) High degree of individual’s rationality in expressing cultural values actually inhibits the
collective welfare rationality by blocking citizens from converging the best scientific
evidence on how to secure common interest in health, safety, and prosperity
6) Many hierarchical and individualistic people believe action of some type should be
taken and will do so if it appeals to their cultural outlook
7) When distributing sound scientific information, it’s important to take advantage of the
full range of potential policy responses and available advocates who are narrative
resources for opening minds.
8) Important to develop forecasting and management tools to predict controversies and
formulate strategies to circumvent groups from forming opposing positions
9) Appealing to Emotions & Not just Science GE COMMERCIAL WINDFALL
