The document summarizes key stages of human fertilization and embryonic development. It describes how fertilization occurs through the fusion of sperm and egg cells. It then outlines the early cleavage and differentiation stages, including the formation of the morula, blastula and gastrula. It discusses the development of the three germ layers and how organs begin to form. Later stages covered include placenta and fetal development, as well as the roles of the umbilical cord, amniotic sac and other structures. Common complications like teratogens and types of twins are also summarized.
An oocyte is a female gametocyte or germ cell involved in reproduction.It is an immature ovum or an egg
An oocyte is produced in the ovary during female gametogenesis.The female germ cells produce a primordial germ cell pgc which undergoes mitosis to form an oogonium
During oogenesis the oogonium becomes a primary oocyte
Oogenesis consists of several sub processes – oocytogenesis, ootidogenesis and the maturation to form an ovum
Folliculogenesis is a separate sub process and supports all three oogenetic sub process
Implantation and placentation , and overviewPranjal Gupta
Implantation and formation of placenta is an essential developmental process during human embryogenesis as it marks the connection between maternal and fetal blood, a condition specific to mammals more precisely eutherians. It works as a passage of required nutrients to the growing embryo and collection of its waste. It also discusses various types of placenta that are seen in mammals.
Steps of fertilization, where transport of gametes(oocyte and spermatozoon) , illustrated with images.
Differences in characteristics of egg and sperm of fertilization are tabulated.

Human fertilization is the union of a human egg and sperm, usually occurring in the ampulla of the fallopian tube. The result of this union is the production of a zygote cell, or fertilized egg, initiating prenatal development. .The process of fertilization involves a sperm fusing with an ovum. The stages of fertilization can be divided into four processes: 1) sperm preparation, 2) sperm-egg recognition and binding, 3) sperm-egg fusion and 4) fusion of sperm and egg pronuclei and activation of the zygote.
Giving overview of human embryonic development including spermatogenesis, oogenesis, fertilization, gastrulation, cleavage, extraembryonic layers and pregnancy
The term implantation is used to describe the attachment of the developing embryo to the endometrium.
After fertilization, the embryo reaches the uterus in the blastocyst stage. Then attached to the wall of the uterus. Though the implantation may occur at any period between the sixth to the tenth day after the fertilization generally it occurs on the seventh day after fertilization.

The topic discussed here is the Process of fertilization, different stages of fertilization, Implantation, Gastrulation, Formation of foetal membranes, Development of Embryo, Labor & Parturition
The physiological processes that regulate parturition and the onset of labor continue to be defined. It is clear, however, that labor onset represents the culmination of a series of biochemical changes in the uterus and cervix. These result from endocrine and paracrine signals emanating from both mother and fetus.

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.

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.
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.

"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.

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.
3. At the time of coitus 200-600 million sperms are deposited into
the female vagina in the vicinity of cervix.
Following ejaculation, semen undergoes clotting by the action of
enzymes present in the prostatic secretion.
After about 5 minutes clot liquefies and spermatozoa become
actively motile: the tails perform undulating movements which
propels them forwards. The speed varies with the environment
but on the average it is 2 -3 mm/min.
Prostaglandinds reverse the peristaltic contractions of the uterus
and uterine tubes thus helping the ascent of spermatozoa to the
site of fertilization.
Out of millions of spermatozoa only 300-500 reach the site of
fertilization and it is only one which is able to fertilize.
4. A freshly deposited sperm is not able to fertilize the
secondary oocyte until it is conditioned in the female
genital tract for sometimes lasting about 7 hours.
During this time glycoprotein coat and seminal
plasma proteins are removed from the plasma
membrane that overlies the acrosomal region of the
spermatozoa.
This process whereby freshly ejaculated sperms
develop the capacity to fertilize a secondary oocyte is
called capacitation of sperm.
5. Fertilization:
