eSocial Science helps researchers do their existing work faster or helps them do new research by utilizing digital tools and large datasets. It uses computers and data about people to either speed up traditional research methods or enable new types of research that weren't possible before. Some examples of eSocial Science include using mapping tools to study how communities were affected by economic changes, and using simulation and modeling to conduct research interactively.
This document discusses convergence, which refers to combining multiple functions into single devices, providing examples like a PSP, hammer, and Xbox 360 that bring together different capabilities. The document argues that convergence is good because it allows for more features and functionality in smaller, more portable devices.
The document summarizes the goals and activities of the ICT KTN (Information and Communications Technologies Knowledge Transfer Network). The ICT KTN brings together previous digital networks to focus on knowledge transfer to stimulate economic growth in the UK. It aims to facilitate development and adoption of ICT technologies to provide competitive advantages. The ICT KTN will engage stakeholders through initiatives, workshops, and publications to maximize economic and social benefits of digital technologies in the UK.

This document provides information on medical advice, e-prescriptions, and the benefits of electronic prescriptions. It lists websites and apps for getting medical advice online as well as websites demonstrating how e-prescriptions work and their advantages over traditional paper prescriptions, such as being fast, legible, and allowing access to patients' medical histories.

The document discusses incorporating urban planning into secondary school geography curriculums. It provides an overview of the planning courses at Queensland University of Technology (QUT), including required units and typical student demographics. The lecturer notes many students are interested in shaping future cities and communities but are unsure of what planners do. The summary aims to help students understand planning through theoretical frameworks, examples of plans/policies, and multimedia resources on topics like historic preservation and public participation.
1. The document provides examples of solving exponential and logarithmic equations.
2. One example solves the equation log 4 (x + 3) = 2 and finds the solution is x = 13.
3. Another example solves the equation log 2 x + log 2 (x - 7) = 3 and finds the solutions are x = 8 or x = -1.

This article discusses the worst album covers of all time. Some album covers featured poorly photoshopped images, bizarre concepts that did not relate to the music, or offensive/inappropriate imagery. Overall, the article examines album art that was poorly conceived and executed.
This document provides 10 strategies for making online course content more engaging for students:
1) Build foundation with video introductions, photos, graphics and quotes.
2) Encourage collaboration through grouping students and role playing exercises.
3) Use starter and wrapper assignments to frame discussions.
4) Gamify content using games, badges and other rewards.
5) Incorporate case-based learning using student-generated case studies.
6) Have students post and review projects and solve problems together.
7) Ask higher-level, inquiry-driven questions to cultivate learning.
8) Mix up discussion boards using videos, photos and other media.
9) Add an engaging YouTube playlist to
This photo album contains pictures from my family vacation to Hawaii last summer. There are photos from our time at the beach, hiking in volcanoes national park, and pictures of us enjoying local cuisine. The album allows me to reminisce about our fun trip in the sun and time spent with loved ones.
The document describes a case involving a chest x-ray and pulmonary angiogram findings in a 57-year-old female patient who presented with chest pain two weeks following a hemorrhagic stroke. The pulmonary angiogram shows multiple filling defects in the left main pulmonary artery and its branches, consistent with pulmonary embolism. While anticoagulation is usually the standard therapy for pulmonary embolism, it is contraindicated in this patient due to her recent stroke. Therefore, the best management option is placement of an inferior vena cava filter to prevent further pulmonary emboli while existing clots dissolve, as anticoagulation cannot be used due to her recent hemorrhagic stroke.
Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, celebrated on November 1st. The Celts believed the boundary between the living world and the spirit world became thin on Samhain, allowing spirits to walk the Earth. They would dress in costumes and light bonfires to ward off spirits. The traditions were brought to America in the 1840s by Irish immigrants and included trick-or-treating. One tradition suggests people would go from village to village begging for soul cakes on All Souls Day and the more cakes received the more prayers they would say for the dead. The story of Jack o'Lanterns originated from an Irish myth about a man named Jack who was trapped between Heaven and
Paulo Freire, pedagogo brasileño, propone una "pedagogía de la liberación" basada en la concientización del individuo. Este proceso implica que los estudiantes analicen críticamente su realidad social para tomar conciencia de su condición oprimida y luchar por la democratización. Freire critica la "pedagogía bancaria" que "educa para domesticar" y propone en cambio que los estudiantes se involucren en un diálogo activo para desarrollar su espíritu crítico.
This document discusses Lucian Duma's #edtech20 project, which aims to teach, learn, and play using free Web 2.0 tools and social media in education in a safe manner. The project provides groups on various platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter to connect educators. It emphasizes using these new technologies for collaboration and knowledge sharing while maintaining safety.
During the first 2-3 weeks of conception, the embryo develops three primary germ layers - ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm - which give rise to the skin, muscles, and digestive system respectively. The heart begins beating by the end of the third week. By 4 weeks, the neural tube has closed to form the brain and spinal cord, and the heart begins regularly circulating blood through the main vessels. By 5 weeks, the brain has differentiated into 5 areas and 10 pairs of cranial nerves are present. Maternal changes during this time include breast tenderness, frequent urination, nausea and vomiting, and fatigue.
This document discusses accounting principles and financial reporting for governments. It notes that most governments account on a cash basis rather than maintaining balance sheets, and do not systematically record assets and liabilities. As a result, solutions to fiscal crises may be built on fragile foundations and could collapse. The document argues that governments should adopt accounting standards similar to GAAP or IFRS to provide more robust financial reporting and make decisions with proper regard to financial consequences. It also discusses how reporting deficits based only on cash flows can be misleading as it does not capture assets, liabilities, or long-term obligations.
