USING E-INFRASTRUCTURES FOR BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION - Module 3Gianpaolo Coro
An e-Infrastructure is a distributed network of service nodes, residing on multiple sites and managed by one or more organizations. e-Infrastructures allow scientists residing at distant places to collaborate. They offer a multiplicity of facilities as-a-service, supporting data sharing and usage at different levels of abstraction, e.g. data transfer, data harmonization, data processing workflows etc. e-Infrastructures are gaining an important place in the field of biodiversity conservation. Their computational capabilities help scientists to reuse models, obtain results in shorter time and share these results with other colleagues. They are also used to access several and heterogeneous biodiversity catalogues.
In this course, the D4Science e-Infrastructure will be used to conduct experiments in the field of biodiversity conservation. D4Science hosts models and contributions by several international organizations involved in the biodiversity conservation field. The course will give students an overview of the models, the practices and the methods that large international organizations like FAO and UNESCO apply by means of D4Science. At the same time, the course will introduce students to the basic concepts under e-Infrastructures, Virtual Research Environments, data sharing and experiments reproducibility.

Biodiversity of fresh and brackish waters fish species in Africa is both highly diverse and of great regional importance to livelihoods and economies. Many areas in Africa are still not well surveyed such that available information on fish species is insufficient for environmental and development planning. Lack of basic information on species distribution and threatened status has long been a key obstacle facing freshwater ecosystem managers in Africa. Therefore, IRD has put in place FAUNAFRI an online GIS to collate, store, manage, and make widely available information about the distributions of fresh and brackish waters fish species in Africa. The application is accessible at the address http://www.ird.fr/poissons-afrique/faunafri/
What is synthetic biology? How quickly is it developing? How does it work? What do we need to know about the synthetic biology industry? What impact does this all have on biodiversity and farmers? What are GMO 1.0, GMO 2.0, GMO+?

CartoSet is a new Open Source framework to develop great geospatial websites. Based on the experience by Vizzuality developing highly visual geospatial websites, like protectedplanet.net, CartoSet is a Ruby on Rails framework based on CartoDB. Despite the number of existing geoportal websites none of them allow the creation of highly customized interfaces. On the other hand libraries like geoRuby provide great foundation but still it takes too much time to develop nice websites. CartoSet is a FOSS framework in the middle, allowing great customization but providing an easy building block for agile developers.
Honest Reviews of Tim Han LMA Course Program.pptxtimhan337
Personal development courses are widely available today, with each one promising life-changing outcomes. Tim Han’s Life Mastery Achievers (LMA) Course has drawn a lot of interest. In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insider’s LMA Course, this piece examines the course’s effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
