Today’s environmental challenges urge man to search for possible solution from wider viewpoints. This paper review is persuasive that it stresses relevance of environmental education for all citizens as one of the key tools for stewardship of environmental wellbeing besides policies and actions combating against environmental problems like pollutions and environmental degradation; believing that environmental education can pose positive change in attitude and behavior of society that in turn probably support efforts done towards sustainable development. The paper also attempt to discuss rationale of this review paper, interactions between man and environment, meaning and aims of environmental education, environmental pollution, climate change, pressure on biological diversity, desertification and drought, population growth and resource use, population growth and environment, dimensions and approaches of environmental education. Developing environmental literacy- knowledge, skill, attitude and actions on current environmental challenges particularly like climate change, loss of biodiversity, health problems and suggested solutions of these problems are need commitment to be addressed. Hence, environmentally literate citizens make informed environmentally sound decisions. Further, suitable approach of delivering environmental education, for all learners, in schools or higher institutions probably is generic form.

The role of education in changing behaviour for sustainabilityNeil Dufty
Behaviour is what people do. People perform a host of environmentally appropriate and inappropriate behaviours every day.
Governments around the world have made numerous legal agreements that commit their countries to take responsibility for a suite of actions to change and move society towards sustainability. Such progress to sustainability depends on the behaviour of people in all walks of life, requiring changes in their way of thinking, living and working.
These background notes provide a theoretical framework for developing education programs that lead to behaviour change for sustainability.

Role of Academic Eco Clubs to Execution of National Policies on Environmental...Malhari Survase
The environmental awareness is the initial step ultimately leading to the ability to carry on responsible citizenship behavior. In view of this, the main aim is to assess the role of academic eco clubs to execution of national policies on environmental awareness among the college students. The required data and information is collected through various sources such as published books, journals, unpublished research thesis and online articles with the observations. The national policies and role of academic eco clubs in awareness and preservation of environment are objectively elaborated. With the consideration of the severity of the environment related problems the author tried to suggest the suitable remedies for the environmental awareness and sustainable development.
The beginning of Earth Day dates back in 1968 when the Human Ecology Symposium was held. With the
U.S. Public Health Service, Morton Hilbert organized an environmental conference for students where they
could learn more from scientists about the effects of environmental degradation on human health. For the
next two years, Hilbert and the students worked to plan the first Earth Day. In April 1970, along with a federal
proclamation from the U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson, the first Earth Day was officially held. This day impelled
the U.S. Congress to develop some of the most significant environmental legislation.

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.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule

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. 1. Back ground – Mr Dyer gave a brief outline about some of the most important events since our last Green Flag inspection What we have been doing The environmental club has been working on the grounds and we have recently had a meeting involving Mrs Mulgrew ( schools modernisation team), Architect, Biodiversity Officer, Scottish Natural Heritage , Railtrack and Greenspace which agreed procedures for preserving the biodiversity during and after the school modernisation. 189 species have been identified and logged on our website www.geocities.com/hamiltonbiology . The environmental club also grows plants for sale, recycles organic waste from HE , works on the plant beds and produces displays for activities such as our trip to Braemar where 8 of the group achieved the John Muir Discovery award. Talks have given on using Biodiversity as a basis for learning (Scottish Natural Heritage in Perth) and as a way of combating anti-social behaviour in South Lanarkshire. We also monitor the weather and log data with NASA as part of the GLOBE initiative 2. Copies of the following were given out Environmental Review Criteria for Green Flag status
4. 3. The process of applying for Green Flag status has now started and we have six months to make sure that we fulfil the requirements for this award. What we still need to do. The process demands a number of actions to make sure that we qualify. Priorities at this stage include :- A detailed environmental review – this will be organised by Mr Stewart and Mr Lyons from the janitorial staff. A whole school action plan for 05 with methods of monitoring activities is needing to be produced. Each group involved should contribute with specific targets, named teachers to lead it with groups of pupils deciding how to achieve targets and method of monitoring and evaluating progress. A blank action plan has been placed on the RM ( Shared Documents/ECOSCHOOLS) and each team can add their targets as appropriate.
5.
6. Other issues raised included The position of the Green Flag – Our original flag pole blew down and South Lanarkshire have a policy which makes putting up another flag pole difficult. Stuart Bence will try to identify the best site and liaise with Mr Stewart. It was felt that the Eco-schools committee should also include representatives from the citizenship and enterprise committees. Mrs Landells and Mrs Hampton will be asked if they are willing to attend future Eco-schools meetings Railtrack are to be contacted and asked about security, access to meadow , litter and the problem with invasive species. Mr Dyer will be responsible for coordinating this. Next meeting will beheld on 10/11/05 Review of progress – All group leaders to report on progress Action Plan – Evolving action plan to be discussed AOCB Minutes by Dawn Swinfen – S3
