Paulo Freire, pedagogo brasileño, propone una "pedagogía de la liberación" basada en la concientización del individuo. Este proceso implica que los estudiantes analicen críticamente su realidad social para tomar conciencia de su condición oprimida y luchar por la democratización. Freire critica la "pedagogía bancaria" que "educa para domesticar" y propone en cambio que los estudiantes se involucren en un diálogo activo para desarrollar su espíritu crítico.
The document describes a case involving a chest x-ray and pulmonary angiogram findings in a 57-year-old female patient who presented with chest pain two weeks following a hemorrhagic stroke. The pulmonary angiogram shows multiple filling defects in the left main pulmonary artery and its branches, consistent with pulmonary embolism. While anticoagulation is usually the standard therapy for pulmonary embolism, it is contraindicated in this patient due to her recent stroke. Therefore, the best management option is placement of an inferior vena cava filter to prevent further pulmonary emboli while existing clots dissolve, as anticoagulation cannot be used due to her recent hemorrhagic stroke.

The gourd, onion and garlic are slowly cooked together until tender, then blended into a cream which is boiled with added water.
Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, celebrated on November 1st. The Celts believed the boundary between the living world and the spirit world became thin on Samhain, allowing spirits to walk the Earth. They would dress in costumes and light bonfires to ward off spirits. The traditions were brought to America in the 1840s by Irish immigrants and included trick-or-treating. One tradition suggests people would go from village to village begging for soul cakes on All Souls Day and the more cakes received the more prayers they would say for the dead. The story of Jack o'Lanterns originated from an Irish myth about a man named Jack who was trapped between Heaven and

The document discusses proposed changes to US labor laws under the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) and RESPECT Act that would make it easier for employees to unionize. Specifically, it summarizes that EFCA would eliminate secret ballot elections and instead allow unions to be certified solely based on authorization cards signed by a majority of employees, as well as impose binding arbitration if a union contract is not negotiated within 90 days. It also discusses strategies for employers to prevent unionization in the changing political climate.
Computer models and simulations are used to predict how systems will behave without having to create physical systems. They use mathematical formulas and past data to mimic real-life situations. While not perfectly accurate, models allow testing of systems like cars, weather patterns, bridges and businesses in a safe, cost-effective manner. Examples given include using models to design safer cars, forecast weather, test bridge designs, predict business profits, and train pilots via realistic flight simulators.

Data logging refers to collecting data over time using sensors. Sensors measure a property and send an analog signal to be converted into digital data by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for computer processing. Data logging systems are used for scientific experiments, weather stations, and environmental monitoring to gather data regularly about factors like temperature, rainfall, pollution levels, and more. The sensors take measurements that are converted and sent to a data logger for storage and later transmission to a computer for analysis and presentation.
This document provides information about how traditional businesses use information technology. It discusses how banks use systems like ATMs, EFTPOS, and online banking. It also describes how hotels, supermarkets, and travel agencies employ IT. The document notes that cars now contain many computer systems for safety, navigation, and convenience. It provides details on online banking features and how ATMs are used to withdraw money, check balances, and make deposits.
Cyberwarfare involves penetrating another nation's computers or networks to cause damage or disruption, and can include web vandalism, propaganda spreading, data gathering, equipment disruption, and attacking critical infrastructure like power systems. Smart weapons rely on guidance technologies like laser targeting, millimeter-wave radar, and satellite GPS to precisely hit targets in various weather conditions with less support needed. Unmanned aerial vehicles like the Predator are sophisticated systems that use many sensors and require a ground control station and communication suite to be fully operational. Virtual warfare through combat training simulations is also discussed.
This document discusses different types of e-voting methods and their advantages and disadvantages. It describes e-voting as casting votes from a computer, and mentions optical scanning systems that allow computers to count marks on ballots. It focuses on direct-recording electronic (DRE) voting machines that use touchscreens to record votes directly into memory. Advantages include minimizing ambiguities and recounts, while disadvantages include security, reliability, and some generations' discomfort with technology. Hybrid systems that print verifiable paper ballots are also noted. The document provides examples of manipulated e-voting results.
DNA databases allow law enforcement to identify individuals by their DNA profiles. The largest DNA database is the FBI's CODIS database. DNA databases can help identify suspects in crimes and exonerate innocent convicts. However, they also raise privacy concerns about who has access to DNA records and how securely the records are stored. Surveillance, such as CCTV cameras, can help lower crime rates but also infringe on privacy by monitoring behavior without consent. Reliability, security, and control over personal data are ongoing issues with DNA databases and surveillance technologies.
Electronic health records (EHRs) systematically collect electronic health information about individual patients or populations to improve quality of care, reduce costs, and promote evidence-based medicine. While EHRs allow for improved record keeping and mobility, their implementation faces challenges like transferring old records, privacy concerns, startup costs, and additional training needs. Personal health records initiated and maintained by individuals aim to provide a complete health summary by gathering data from various sources online.
Telemedicine uses telecommunication technologies to deliver healthcare services from a distance by transmitting medical information through still images, audio, video calls and emails. It has advantages like providing care to isolated areas, enabling specialists to consult across borders, and educating doctors, while helping people avoid travel and continue working. However, not everyone has access to the needed technology, specialists require training, and language barriers can be a problem.
Robotic surgery can be performed remotely with a designated fiber optic cable that provides a safe and reliable connection with a lag time of 200 milliseconds over 14,000 km, allowing for remote surgery. Expert diagnostic systems interface with users to provide advice from a knowledge base of facts and rules created from human experts, which is examined by an inference engine matching users' queries to the knowledge. Diagnostic and therapeutic tools in healthcare also include prosthetic devices, diagnostic software, and tools for drug development and marketing.
IB Computer Science Section 6.3 Operating Systemsstjulians school
An operating system handles input/output control, file maintenance, the software/hardware interface, memory allocation, constructs the user interface, controls software execution, and organises security and virtual memory. Operating systems can be single user, multi-user, or multi-processing. Multi-tasking allows one client to run multiple programs at once while multi-threading runs different parts of a single program simultaneously. Utility software performs specific hidden tasks like backups or antivirus protection, unlike applications which users choose for their needs.
Computer security protects information and property from threats while keeping it accessible to authorized users. There are three main categories of computer insecurity: vulnerabilities, exploits, and payloads. Vulnerabilities are weaknesses that allow attacks, exploits take advantage of vulnerabilities, and payloads are the harmful effects caused, such as deleting files or installing backdoors. Common security measures include usernames/passwords, firewalls, antivirus software, and encryption.
