Recuperação de Informação: Análise sobre a contribuição da Ciência da Computa...Edberto Ferneda
Since its birth, Information Science has been studying methods for the automatic treatment of information. This research has focused on Information Retrieval, an area that involves the application of computational methods in the treatment and retrieval of information, in order to assess how Computer Science contributes to the progress of the Information Science. Initially, Information Retrieval is contextualized in the interdisciplinary body of Information Science and, after that, the basic elements of the information retrieval process are presented. Computational models related to information retrieval are analyzed according to "quantitative" and "dynamic" categories. Some natural language processing techniques used in information retrieval are equally discussed. In the current context of the Web, the techniques of information retrieval are presented, from search engines to the Semantic Web. It can be concluded that in spite of the unquestionable importance of the computational methods and techniques for dealing with information, they are regarded only as auxiliary tools, because their concept of "information" is extremely restrict in relation to that used by the Information Science

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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
1. Hybrid Distance Water
Learning in Ethiopia
Review of experience
Jan Teun Visscher
Martine Jeths
Hugo de Vos
Lenneke Knoop
2. Staff capacity for WATSAN sector
Very important need for capacity building in
the Ethiopian water and sanitation sector
Staff is already working in the field, but they
need to learn more about how to facilitate the
water committees and the community to
sustain their water and sanitation systems
To help them at their place of work a
consortium of AAU, MetaMeta, LeAF, IRC,
and SNV have developed two distance
learning courses
3. Hybrid distance learning
Guided practice based self learning at
the place of work (paper based, CDRom,
Internet)
Learning with colleagues
Sharing experience with trainers (by
postal mail or email) and getting
feedback
Getting support on the workplace by
visiting trainer or resource person
4. Four modules
Community water supply dealing with the
complexity of water supply and presenting an overview
of systems that are applied in Ethiopia
Water quality introducing both chemical and
microbial water quality assessment through water
quality analysis and sanitary inspections
Management of water quality hazards
presenting an overview of hazard categories and
options to manage these hazards in the water cycle at
community level
Water safety plans bringing together the
learning in the first three modules and developing a
structured plan for water supply improvement and
control
5. Participants
Review materials and testing through
self assessments
Apply and submit results (Description of a
community water supply, Simple sanitary
survey)
Submit larger assignment (Water safety
Plan; Sanitation Service Plan)
Make arrangement for field visit by
trainer
Make final assignment

9. The challenge: Help WATSAN staff to better assist
communities to help themselves, if needed with
some external support
10. Main Results
Positive results overcame initial doubts about
applicability of distance learning
Trainees were very enthusiastic and want to
make more Community Water Safety Plans
(CWSP) and get additional HDL training
Staff from Water Bureau and TVETC worked
together in the field, showing keen interest
CWSP encourages integrated thinking and
action on the ground (Handpump wells were
improved, water committee was replaced etc.)
11. Reflection
Trainers and trainees considered HDL useful for
themselves and for colleagues and were
positively surprised about community interest
Many systems can be improved and better
managed with local means, but larger
interventions require some external support
Collaboration TVETC and WaterBureau is
important
Expanded HDL course under development
which already counts with support from SNV
and RiPPLE
12. Potential for using it elsewhere
What do you think about the approach
Write one positive point and one limitation
Please inform Martine and Jan Teun if you
see potential in areas where you work
Editor's Notes
Ad 1) management and finance; technical improvements
Ad 2) want to use zonal staff as trainers for all 134 Woredas
Ad 6) Four pumped wells cleaned and now in use; committee removed; funds recovered
