LPWAN Technologies for Internet of Things (IoT) and M2M ScenariosPeter R. Egli
Rapid technological advances in the past made possible the miniaturization of network devices to meet the cost and power consumption requirements in IoT and M2M scenarios. What is missing in this picture is a radio technology with both long range capability and a very low cost footprint. Existing radio technologies such as 3G/4G or Short Range Radio do not aptly meet the requirements of IoT scenarios because they are either too expensive or are not able to provide the required range. Other wireless technologies are geared towards high bandwidth which is in most cases not a requirement for IoT.
Emerging LPWAN technologies such as ETSI LTN or LoRAWAN are poised for filling the gap by providing long range (up to 40km) and low power connectivity. These technologies allow low cost radio devices and operation thus enabling scaling up IoT applications.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
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.

23. EDI
●What is EDI? EDI stands for ELECTRONIC DATA
INTERCHANGE.
●The development of EDI standards was
●closely monitored by the industry and a message
development group.
●set up early in the life of the EDI Association to
consider new Electronic Data Interchange for
Administration, Commerce and Transportation or
trade (EDIFACT) standards for the shipping industry.
24. ELECTRONIC DATA INTERCHANGE
●Electronic Data Interchange: The transfer of
structured data, by agreed standards from applications on the
computer of one party to the applications on the computer of
another party by electronic means (fully computerized).
●Electronic Data Processing:
●Computerized handling of information (e.g. business data).
●For shipping: Fast documentation & reporting of cargo
status.
●Reduce cost by eliminating errors and simplify the transfer of
information process.
25. ELECTRONIC DATA INTERCHANGE
●For shipping company, there is a need to
connect their system with one another.
●Speed up transaction & eliminate replication
of data. Communication with:
●Third parties (custom, port authorities)
●Internal & group companies
●Business partner ( agents, customer)
●Between these three – paperless booking,
invoicing, as well as insurance & banking
transactions.
26. EDI IN PORT (Example)
●Data about each cargo inside of container
can be stored easily using bar-code reader.
●Movement of cargo through the terminal
automatically controlled by system.
●Automatic categorization of container based
on voyage, port, size etc.
●Develop the stowage plan @ stacking model.
●Paperwork necessary can be produced by the
system.
27. EDI IN PORT (Example)
●Computer calculate stability of ships.
●After departure, produce list of containers.
●Charges associated including demurrage
calculated by computer.
28. Benefits of EDI
●Faster discharging and loading containers.
●Increased productivity through faster
turnaround of containers and vessels.
●Better monitoring of the storage of
containers (leading to increases in stacking area’
s capacity).
●High level accuracy of information.
●High level of consistency of the information
given to various parties in the chain of transport
29. Benefits of EDI
●With EDI, order entry becomes fast, cost efficient,
and error free without manual re-entry.
●EDI improves a company’s relationship with
customers and suppliers.
●EDI reduces inventory and inventory carrying cost
by reducing and or eliminating order lead times.
●EDI standardizes programs and procedures,
therefore allowing data to be controlled more easily.
30. Benefits of EDI
●EDI helps to automate tasks and relocate people to other
tasks.
●Because consumers have different expectations, EDI helps to
deliver a product or services that meet consumer expectation
with regard to price and time frame, therefore increasing sales.
●EDI’s speed of transmission helps a company to gain a
competitive edge.
●EDI reduces the paper flow between organizations, which
can reduce cost and increase speed and ease of use.
●Gains in productivity from EDI help companies reduce
existing labor.
32. Internet EDI (IEDI)
●Internet Electronic Data Interchange (INT-EDI) arise
due to the problems that small business facing of.
●The main problem they have to face of is in term of
cost of implementation EDI.
●The high cost that the users of EDI need to concern is
on the value added network (VANs).
●Even though the using of VANs is highly recommended
and required by the other partners or parties regarding
to the security of documents and data transferred,
small business still resist to implement and use it as a
tool or medium data transferred.
33. Internet EDI
●Most of these small firms are tend to use the
internet as the main of data transferred which means
there is no VANs usage.
● The using of this INT-EDI day to day become wider
because of some beneficial gained to those small
firms.
●Thus, the I-EDI trading techniques aim to improve
the interchange of information between trading
partners, suppliers and customers by bringing down
the boundaries that restrict how they interact and do
business with each other
34. Electronic devices in container
terminal
1.Microwave technology
■Employ to track the placing and pick-up of containers by
recording relevant data on tags installed on the containers.
- include a tag that allows data read and write.
■Example: In ship-to-rail- would reduce the crane’s waiting
time when the spreader is in ship’s hull. So, human resource can
be saved and performance of port terminal is appraised.
■This system is called Prime Mover tracking system (PMTS)-
enables the terminal supervisor to track and unloaded containers
at any time while containers are in the terminal.
35. ■PMTS enables the operator to track the containers
and feed back the location of the containers to the central
information system where data can be checked.
2.Tagging technology in transporting cargo
by rail
■Bit advance than microwave technology especially for
countries that use high speed freight trains (160km/hr:
Japan and German).
■This technology used antenna to create an inductive
radio frequency field to activate and receive data from tags.
■It contains a transmit-coil with associated tuning and
matching components, and a receive-coil.
36. ■When a consignment is loaded on the train, the computer
will be able to provide relevant information on content of
containers loaded on the train- information is pass to the
yard operator/ staff.
■Then, based on the information given, it will be transferred
to the crews of the train.
■Automated vehicle identification (AVI) reader reads the
tags on each wagon and sends a message to the central
computer to compare the manifest with information in the
central computer.
■In the mean time, the wagons are weighted to check for
load discrepancies. Both sets of data are then sent ahead
37. 3.Barcode scanner
■help customs decide whether physical inspection of
containers is required particularly when vessels unload
thousands of container simultaneously.
■capable of providing prompt information required by
customs when vessels are at berth.
■Barcode scanner is a wireless scanning technology
that communicates with the host computer.
■the wireless system provides effective services to
most terminal operators and operational systems.
38. 4.Radio frequency microcircuit system (RF)
■was developed to identify the containers when traffic at
terminals reaches the peak.
■this system is suited for operation in harsh and outdoor
environment.
■ This system consists of the reader or antenna transponders
(tags), an interrogator and computer interface tags.
■This RF offers high-speed and remote electronic identification
of equipment.
■one application of RF is in monitoring the movement of
containers and their status in the terminal.
■the system can also track containers entering and leaving the
terminal through the gate or as they pass the scanning points in the
yard.
39. 5.Voice recognition technology
■ VTR provides communication between the crane
operator and the ground personnel during loading and
unloading of a vessel.
■once activated, crane operators speak into a
microphone, the machine recognizes words or phases
and then converts them into electronic impulses for the
micro-or host computer.
■ It a high performance units operate at an accuracy
rate of 99.5%.
■Advantage: message recording-assist the terminal
operator in providing the final report on the position of
containers loaded on the ship.
