The document discusses global warming and the greenhouse effect. It provides background on Earth's climate history and the role of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. It then discusses how human activities like fossil fuel usage have increased greenhouse gas levels, which will likely double CO2 levels within 150 years. The document proposes several actions individuals can take to reduce their carbon footprint, such as using more efficient light bulbs, driving less, and reducing waste and packaging.
Global warming is the theory that we as humans are
increasing greenhouse gases through industrialization causing more gases and the increasing the amount of sunlight that gets caught and heats the earth.

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.

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.
3. Introduction
• Is the world getting warmer?
• If so, are the actions of mankind
to blame for earth’s temperature
increases?
• What can/should be done about
these issues?
4. History of Earth’s Climate
• Earth formed ~4.6 billion years
ago
• Originally very hot
• Sun’s energy output only 70%
of present
• Liquid water present ~4.3 billion
years
5. History of Earth’s
Climate• Life appeared ~3.8 billion years ago
• Photosynthesis began 3.5-2.5 billion years
ago
– Produced oxygen and removed carbon
dioxide and methane (greenhouse gases)
– Earth went through periods of cooling
(“Snowball Earth”) and warming
• Earth began cycles of glacial and
interglacial periods ~3 million years ago
11. Future Carbon Dioxide Levels
• Increasing CO2 emissions, especially in
China and developing countries
• Likely to double within 150 years:
–Increased coal usage
–Increased natural gas usage
–Decreased petroleum usage (increased
cost and decreasing supply)
12. Of all U.S. greenhouse gas
emissions come from
households:
• Vehicles
• Home Heating
• Electricity
HouseHolds are Big
ContriButors to Climate
CHange
13. OZONE
DEPLETION
• Due to global warming and
greenhouse effect ,our earth is
suffering a lot. Holes are found in
the ozone layer which can bring
drastic changes to our habitat .
CFCs ,gases like
METHANE,CARBON DIOXIDE etc.
are responsible for this.
15. REDUCING THE
CONSUMPTION OF FOSSIL
FUELS
Because greenhouse gas emissions
are tied very closely to our
energy consumption, using less
fossil fuel based energy puts
fewer greenhouse gases into the
atmosphere.
This will help in slowing down
global warming.

18. We can make some simple
substitutions
Replacing just 1 incandescent light bulb with 1 compact
florescent bulb saves about 150 pounds of carbon
dioxide per year!
If every American household replaced just 5 high-use
incandescent bulbs with compact florescent lights we'd
collectively save more than $8 billion each year in energy
costs and we would prevent the greenhouse gases
equivalent to the emissions from nearly 10 million cars.
19. Small changes really add up
Replace your old
refrigerator with a new
Energy Star:
Annual savings:
$90; 700 pounds CO2
Set your thermostat down a
few degrees in the winter
Annual savings:
$135; 1400 pounds CO2
Wash clothes in cold
water only
Annual savings:
$70; 500 pounds CO2
Drive JUST 10 fewer miles per week
Annual savings:
$80; 520 pounds CO2
Reduce your garbage
by 10% through
greater recycling or
reduced packaging
Annual savings:
1200 pounds CO2
Caulk and weather-strip
around doors and windows
Annual savings:
$80; 650 pounds CO2
20. Glowing Up Your World
• Turning off lights saves energy and
money. The more energy used, the
more rivers are dammed or more
fossil fuel is burned, causing air
pollution and increased levels of
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
21. Glowing Up Our World
• Throwing away
containers of any
kind wastes energy
and resources and
adds to our waste
problem. Many towns
22. Blowing Up Your World
Fresh vegetables cook more quickly
and are usually more nutritious than
frozen or canned foods. Canned and
frozen vegetables are often over-
processed, contain additives,
contribute to air pollution (transport
and packaging) and add to our waste
problem.
Glowing Up Our World
23. Glowing Up Our World
•Making paper and plastic bags uses
energy and resources. The bags add to
our litter and waste problems, and
plastic is not biodegradable.
Recycling is not the best answer
because collecting and recycling
materials requires energy. Instead,
carry a reusable cloth bag or a

25. Biodegradable plastic
• Biodegradable plastics are plastics that are capable of being
decomposed by bacteria or other living organisms.
Two basic classes of biodegradable plastics exist : Bio plastics, whose
components are derived from renewable raw materials and plastics made
from petrochemicals with bio degradable additives which enhance
biodegradation.
Some examples of biodegradable plastics are:
1. Aliphatic polyesters
2. Naturally Produced: Polyhydroxy alkanoates (PHAs)
like the poly-3-hydroxy butyrate(PHB),
polyhydroxyvalerate (PHV) and
polyhydroxyhexanoate (PHH)
3. Renewable Resource: Polylactic
acid (PLA)
4.Synthetic: Polybutylene succinate (PBS),
• Polyanhydrides
• Polyvinyl alcohol
27. USE OF TECHNOLOGY
Using computers, tablets and latest
technology reduces the use of paper .
Hence we can save a lot of trees by
doing so. It should be eco friendly.
