Ethics of GM Crop Development - Erik MillstoneSTEPS Centre
A presentation by Erik Millstone, co-convenor of the STEPS food and agriculture domain, made at the Royal Society of Chemistry on 2 December 2009. For more about STEPS work on GM and out Biotechnology Research Archive visit: http://www.steps-centre.org/ourresearch/gm.html
Manticore Group, MT. Reviewed searchable online documents on the lethality research on GMOs. These were the ones of value found at time of the review on the subject. A notorious Oregon Lab report originally the subject of the review was not discover-able online at this time that referenced lab work commissioned by Russian interests in Oregon on the subject.
Why be concerned? One of many good reasons is that these laboratory-created mutations are unlabeled, virtually untested and on grocery shelves everywhere.
An effort to present information on GMOs in an easy to understand manner. The presentation covers the myths about GMOs and explains how sustainable and ecological systems must replace such dangerous technology. Please feel free to download/share to build public awareness.
Scientific Facts on Genetically Modified CropsGreenFacts
We are regularly confronted with genetically modified foods, be it in the news or on our plates.
In what way are GM crops different from conventional crops?
What is known about their possible risks for human health or the environment?
The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods (Long Version)Jack Olmsted
Content of the Presentation
Regulatory Failure: It is useful to explain how such dangerous products could have made it to the market with government approval. Several slides include quotes from formerly secret FDA documents that show how government policy was at odds with more cautious scientific opinion at the agency.
Health Risks of GMOs: This section highlights many of the adverse findings revealed through laboratory experiments and reported by farmers, doctors, and investigators. It also introduces some theoretical risks based on the current state of the science.
The Consumer Tipping Point: The final section includes a discussion of a strategy to achieve the tipping point of consumer rejection of GMOs in the US, which is the basis for our Campaign for Healthier Eating in America. The key elements needed are consumer education on GMO health risks combined with clear non-GMO choices.

GMOs and Feeding the WorldThe controversy surrounding genetica.docxShiraPrater50
GMOs and Feeding the World
"The controversy surrounding genetically modified organisms has real importance for society, there are complex scientific and logical issues to sort through, and the topic is rife with misinformation and motivated reasoning……" -Dr. Novella, academic neurologist; Yale University School of Medicine
Objectives:
1. Journey around the world and explore the use of GMOs and their application for feeding the world.….
2. Defend your belief on the following: Are GMOs a good thing for society or are we heading into dangerous territory in their use?
Directions: Please respond with a different color of ink and include your original questions.
1. You will be asked to review the background information I have provided and visit the various articles and videos for each question.
2. You will then respond to the questions following the attached websites.
3. Finally, you will be asked to find alternate evidence and defend YOUR views on the issue.
4. Total point value: 70 points
What are the ethical concerns regarding GMOs in the food industry?
Remember, the first step in ethical problem solving and policy decision making involves ascertaining the facts. Facts by themselves, however, only tell us what is; they do not tell us what ought to be. Resolving an ethical issue also requires an appeal to values. Before tackling the GMO debate, let’s review the five different approaches philosophers have developed to deal with moral issues. (use these in defending your views for GMOs on the final question)
1. Utilitarian Approach: What benefits and what harms will each course of action produce, and which alternative will lead to the best overall consequences?
2. Rights Approach: What moral rights do the affected parties have, and which course of action best respects those rights?
3. Fairness or Justice Approach: Which course of action treats everyone the same, except where there is a morally justifiable reason not to, and does not show favoritism or discrimination?
4. Common Good Approach: Which course of action advances the common good?
5. Virtue Approach: Which course of action develops moral virtues?
(1) The GMO Controversy:
Article #1: http://theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php/the-gmo-controversy/
"GMO critics despise corporate control and greed, and fear the unnatural, while GMO advocates see this technology as an example of the triumph of human ingenuity and science"
“God (Nature in my view) makes all things good; man meddles with them and they become evil…" "― Jean-Jacques Rousseau; philosopher, 1770
15 points; each question is worth 1 point, unless otherwise noted – all T/F .5 point-
1. Beliefs concerning GMOs tend to be dominated by two opposing narratives: What are they?
2. GMO advocates point out that pretty much all food that is consumed by humans has already been extensively modified by human activity. (True or False?)
3. What was corn cultivated from? (.5 point)
4. Cultivation uses a combination of what two bas ...

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

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.
