The document discusses the organization and structure of grids in document design. It defines different types of grids including column grids, modular grids, grids by image, and hybrid grids. Grids introduce order, help distinguish information, aid navigation, and allow efficient layout. While grids provide structure, designers can vary or violate the grid based on the specific document's content and purpose. The overall goal is to make the invisible grid structure visible in serving the message and reader experience.

Introduction to data visualization
This document provides an overview of data visualization techniques presented by Abderrahmen Gharsallah. It discusses principles of good data visualization like being trustworthy and elegant. It differentiates between exploratory and explanatory visualizations. Common charts for data visualization like bar charts, bubble charts, and population pyramids are presented. Tools for creating visualizations like Highcharts and libraries like D3 are also mentioned. The document provides examples of visualizations including word clouds, cartography, and interactive maps.
Data Visualizations in Cyber Security: Still Home of the WOPR?
Visualization of security data has not advanced significantly since the days of the WOPR in War Games. Other tech industries have embraced the role of modern user interfaces to facilitate and expedite data search, analysis and discovery, which has significantly helped users in those industries gain insights from a big data environment. In contrast, the security industry prefers to relegate everyone into command line prompts and clunky interfaces with minimal functionality and an inability to scale to the volume, velocity, and variety of security data. I’ll address the core challenges and impact of the industry’s failure to take data visualization and user experience seriously, and provide recommendations on key areas that would most benefit from modern data visualization. Through the use of attack timelines, I’ll demonstrate how we, as an industry, must move beyond familiar visualization conventions (that tend to break at scale) and provide functional data visualization that is usable for analysts and operators across all levels of expertise.
Civilian OPSEC in cyberspace
Methods and techniques for monitoring, surveillance and profiling of cyberspace activities are available to state actors and criminal operators as well as to skilled individuals.
Civilian individuals without extensive knowledge and exposure to counter-intelligence techniques and Operations Security (OPSEC) protocols are vulnerable and helpless against these privacy breaches. This represents significant gap between actors and their victims – gap that can be bridged only through education.
The primary objective of this workshop oriented activity is to educate people operating in above-average risk situations in cyberspace and to bridge the unfair gap between them and malicious actors. Secondary objective aims at understanding how cyber security can be taught to non-security minded people in efficient way.
Accessible Next Level Visualizations
Highcharts and Elsevier share recent research into making interactive web charts more accessible. Our usability studies focused on three areas, including stacked column charts, scatter plots, and charts with drill-down interactivity. We will share design considerations for keyboard navigation and the understandability of non-visual representations of data visualizations.

Text Extraction from Image using Python
With so much of our lives computerized, it is vitally important that machines and humans can understand one another and pass information back and forth. Mostly computers have things their way we have to & talk to them through relatively crude devices such as keyboards and mice so they can figure out what we want them to do. However, when it comes to processing more human kinds of information, like an old-fashioned printed book or a letter scribbled with a fountain pen, computers have to work much harder. That is where optical character recognition (OCR) comes in. Here we process the image, where we apply various pre-processing techniques like desk wing, binarization etc. and algorithms like Tesseract to recognize the characters and give us the final document.

It also discusses strategies for larger networks, interaction models, using animation, and provides a reference architecture for graph visualization systems.
Runaway complexity in Big Data... and a plan to stop it
This document discusses sources of complexity in big data systems and proposes a new design approach. Common sources of complexity include a lack of human fault tolerance, conflating data and queries, and schemas done wrong. The author proposes building data systems based on immutability, separating data storage from querying through precomputed views, and using batch processing to compute views periodically with real-time processing to handle new data. This "Lambda Architecture" isolates complexity in the real-time layer and allows mistakes to be corrected through recomputation, providing an approach that is scalable, fault tolerant, and avoids many issues around consistency.

Media Literacy and Communication -- Fundamentals Class
This document discusses several key concepts related to media literacy:
1. It introduces theories of media effects including uses and gratifications theory, agenda setting theory, and cultivation theory.
2. It emphasizes the importance of understanding how media influences audiences and engaging with media critically rather than passively.
3. It addresses debates around the impact of internet and social media use on social connection and isolation. While some research finds internet use reduces isolation, other research links increased use to greater loneliness and smaller social networks.
Martin Luther King & Language use | Figures of Speech
Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech effectively uses several stylistic devices to convey its message of hope for racial equality. The speech employs alliteration to create rhythm, uses metaphors and similes to draw comparisons, and incorporates parallel structure and anaphora to reinforce its central ideas. Through these literary techniques, as well as antithesis, hyperbole, and personification, the speech paints a vision of a future without racism in America through nonviolent protest and peaceful demonstrations.
Persuasive Speaking and Organizational Patterns
The document provides guidance on designing a persuasive speech, including recommended organizational patterns. It outlines five common patterns: problem-solution, comparative advantages, criteria satisfaction, refutation, and Monroe's motivated sequence. For each pattern, it describes the basic structure and when it would be most effective to use. It also provides an example of President Roosevelt's 1941 war address, noting it follows Monroe's motivated sequence pattern of arousing attention, demonstrating a need, satisfying the need, visualizing results, and calling for action.
Persuasive Speaking and Means of Persuasion
This document discusses Aristotle's means of persuasion, known as ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos involves persuading through one's own credibility and character, such as by appearing trustworthy. Pathos involves appealing to emotions. Logos involves logical arguments and reasoning using facts and evidence. The document examines how establishing expertise and trustworthiness can help build ethos and make an audience more receptive to an argument. It also discusses using emotional language and examples to invoke pathos, as well as constructing logical inductive and deductive arguments for logos.
Media Relations for Public Relations Class
This document discusses various media relations strategies for organizations. It covers securing positive publicity through establishing relationships with media, differences between publicity and advertising, and tools for PR like press releases, press conferences, and pitch letters. It also provides examples of how organizations like Dove have used publicity campaigns to enhance their reputation through viral videos and unpaid media coverage.
Case Study Assignment for Public Relations
This document outlines the requirements for analyzing a public relations case study. Students are asked to critically evaluate a PR case study by identifying the problem addressed through research, the goals and objectives set, the target audiences, and the tailored messages and strategies used to engage each audience. They should apply the RACE model of research, action, communication, and evaluation to structure their analysis. Finally, students are to evaluate the effectiveness of the campaign through evidence and critique each element of the PR plan for its effectiveness, appropriateness, and ethical considerations.
Chapter 6 of Organizational Communication
This document discusses organizational culture and different approaches to studying it. It defines organizational culture as the values, beliefs, assumptions, artifacts, and patterns of communication shared by members of an organization. There are four primary elements that shape organizational culture: artifacts, espoused values, underlying assumptions, and how problems are addressed. The document also outlines different frameworks for analyzing organizational culture, including integrated, differentiated, and fragmented approaches. It concludes by discussing the process of acculturation that occurs when encountering a new culture, such as when traveling abroad or joining a new organization.
Organizing and outlining an informative speech
The document discusses different organizational patterns that can be used when presenting information, including topical, chronological, spatial, causal, and problem-solution patterns. It provides examples of each pattern and explains how they can be used to arrange content in an informative presentation. Additionally, the document covers outlining a presentation, including elements that should be included such as an introduction, body, and conclusion as well as formatting and style guidelines for the outline.
Informative Speaking and Supporting Materials
This document discusses different types of supporting materials that can be used when presenting ideas, including examples, hypothetical examples, stories, comparisons, statistics, quotations, and visual aids. It provides sources for finding supporting materials, such as books, newspapers, scholarly journals, and government publications. It also offers tips for using supporting materials effectively, such as making them meaningful, only using what is necessary, establishing their credibility, and helping the audience remember them. Different ways of presenting statistics and using stories as supporting materials are also examined.
Planning Public Speaking: Topics and Audiences
The document provides guidance on preparing and delivering an effective informative presentation. It discusses choosing an appropriate topic that is substantive, serious, and supported. It outlines the basic requirements for the presentation, including time limits, approved topics, extemporaneous delivery, citation of sources, and submission of an outline. The document also discusses steps to take in preparing such as selecting a topic, analyzing the audience, determining the purpose and main points, gathering materials, outlining, and practicing. It provides tips for audience analysis including considering demographics, attitudes, beliefs, values, needs, and receptivity. Finally, it demonstrates how the topic and content should be adapted based on the specific audience.
Foundations of Communication and Models of Comm.
1) Strong social relationships and avoiding loneliness provide significant health benefits, while social isolation is a major risk factor for disease.
2) Communication is a complex process where people interact through symbols to create and interpret meanings in a systemic way. Early models of communication focused on simple linear exchanges, but modern models recognize the transactional nature of communication.
3) Many factors can introduce noise or ambiguity into communication exchanges, including environmental factors, internal states, and the symbolic and personal nature of deriving meaning from words and messages. Establishing shared contexts is important for effective communication.
Fundamentals of Communication -- Day One
This document contains information about a communication class taught by Dr. Corinne Weisgerber on Wednesdays from 10:45-2:00 pm in office D-169. The required textbook and course schedule will be available on Blackboard. Students will learn to organize clear messages tailored to audiences, adapt messages for different contexts, and evaluate oral and visual messages. Key skills employers seek like communication will be developed. The first assignment is a 3 minute self-introductory speech where students choose an object to represent themselves.
Recap of our Class
This document recaps the problems discussed over 14 weeks which include the fragmentation of truth in the information environment, how language can be weaponized to create divisions, the impact of algorithms in spreading misinformation and creating echo chambers, issues with the lack of regulation of technologies like AI and social media, and challenges with building media literacy. Some of the key challenges are cognitive biases that prevent rational thinking, the spread of disinformation online and the difficulty in monitoring it across platforms, and ongoing "narrative warfare" over the meaning and trustworthiness of information.
Publishing
This document discusses various ways of disseminating scientific research such as conference presentations, working papers, scholarly journals, and books. It outlines the typical publication process involving calls for papers, blind peer review, editorial decisions, review of revisions, and final publication. Some problems with the current dissemination model are discussed, such as the lengthy time period between submission and publication which can result in outdated findings by the time of publication, as well as issues around ownership and restricted access to published research due to journal copyright policies.

Disinfo Lectio
The document discusses using an ancient reading method called Lectio Divina to thoughtfully analyze social media posts. It presents a 4-step process: 1) Slowly reading the post, 2) Reflecting on its meaning and context, 3) Responding with how it relates to one's life, and 4) Resting in silence with any insights. Applying this method could help build skills for engaging with information more mindfully versus quick scrolling, and gain new understanding of posts' intent and missing context.
Visual Turn
This document discusses semiotics, the study of signs and symbols. It explains that there are three main types of signs: iconic signs which closely resemble the object, indexical signs which have a commonsense connection to the thing, and symbolic signs which have no logical representational connection. It provides examples of each type of sign including the word "cat" as an iconic sign, smoke as an indexical sign for fire, and words or equations as symbolic signs.
Disinformation
People turning to social media for news about the Israel-Hamas conflict are encountering high levels of misinformation, including old videos, fake photos, and video game footage passed off as real. The document provides tips for how to verify information, such as checking if other authoritative sources have confirmed it, assessing the credibility of sources, and doing lateral reading from other reliable outlets. It also mentions new EU regulations that aim to curb digital disinformation by very large platforms and search engines through content moderation and transparency requirements.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
