The document describes a group of women in Helsinki called K65 who paint graffiti on legal walls. The youngest member is 65 years old and the oldest is 94 years old. Their goal is to create new and surprising art that reflects the present day, as most activities for older adults focus on memories and history. The group studies graffiti movies, books, and the history of urban art. A 65-year-old member says the group provides needed creativity and positive energy beyond more traditional activities for seniors like knitting.
We want to identify gatekeepers who have deep knowledge of people's needs and lifestyles to help unlock creative potential that can improve well-being. Gatekeepers are integral to the design process and can provide insights that translate into new ideas. Our goal is to find these gatekeepers, deconstruct barriers, and strengthen connections to access hidden creative potential and make the most of it.
This short document discusses finding solutions to problems and speeding up the process of change. It questions whether people are lazy, stupid, or controlled, and suggests looking for better ways of addressing issues and enacting change.
The document contains a series of statements encouraging people not to give up certain activities or products, but to modify their behavior or consumption habits to be more sustainable. Each statement follows the pattern of "DON'T GIVE UP [something]," followed by "JUST [suggestion to make it more sustainable]." The suggestions encourage reducing consumption and waste, sharing resources, using renewable or clean energy, planning and making informed choices. The overall message is that small changes in lifestyle and behavior can help sustainability without having to completely give things up.
The document discusses designing for communities from the bottom-up and inside out approaches. It explains that grassroots social change is powerful when communities engage people to work towards everyone's well-being rather than individual gain. The inside out approach means the designer facilitates co-creation by working with community members to find solutions, rather than having sole ownership. The outcome should be a service or process created for and by the community.
Small acts of kindness can encourage more helping behavior. The document outlines 12 small starting points people can take to help others such as smiling, greeting strangers, taking care of public spaces, lending items, and asking for help. These little things are essential to helping people feel more connected and encouraging a cycle of people helping one another.

The Preparedness Fair benefits our campus by providing students and faculty a one-stop-shop for all of our campus emergency preparedness and safety information.
This document outlines how to develop and maintain a Campus Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). It discusses getting approval from campus leadership, recruiting building liaisons and through orientations. Training consists of 7 sessions covering disaster preparedness, fire suppression, medical operations, search and rescue, psychology and organization. Trainees complete a disaster simulation to become CERT members. Retention requires participating in drills, meetings and monitoring communications. The CERT's role is to serve as building liaisons, assist with fire drills and campus exercises, and conduct preparedness outreach.
Ramboll is a leading engineering, design and consultancy company founded in Denmark in 1945. They employ close to 10,000 experts across 21 countries and over 200 offices, with a significant presence in Northern Europe, India, Russia and the Middle East. Building information modeling (BIM) is a process involving digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of a facility across its lifecycle. The UK government has set a target of Level 2 BIM by 2016, requiring 3D models combined and coordinated in 3D space with enriched asset data. BIM aims to improve project coordination, quality, efficiency and sustainability.
This document discusses finite automata and regular languages. It begins by introducing finite state machines as the simplest computational model due to their extremely limited memory. Examples of finite state machines in everyday devices like automatic doors, elevators, and calculators are provided. The document then presents a formal definition of a finite automaton as a 5-tuple consisting of a finite set of states, a finite input alphabet, a transition function, a start state, and a set of accept states. An example three-state finite automaton M1 is defined formally using this 5-tuple notation. The language recognized by M1 is described as the set of strings containing at least one 1 and an even number of 0s following the last 1.

1) The document outlines an oath that designers have taken to acknowledge their changing role and focus on people rather than just products.
2) The oath emphasizes that designers have an obligation to consider the common good and educate all parties about the opportunities, risks, and implications of their design work over the entire lifespan.
3) Signatories promise to provide the most ethical design solutions and not attain wealth at the expense of mankind, instead aiming to foster innovation that helps address societal problems.
Designers have a responsibility to influence material culture and society in sustainable ways. First, designers must change themselves by getting closer to society, understanding their role in both the problems and solutions, and committing to lifelong learning. When working with clients, designers must recognize that people differ in their willingness to actively help the environment, so solutions need different approaches - either demanding participation from interested clients or subtly influencing the process for disinterested clients. All changes should be implemented gradually by altering available options to be more sustainable and comfortable, so that collectively, even small designs can make meaningful progress toward goals of helping nature and society.
This document presents a manifesto advocating for a shift from a personal lifestyle to a shared lifestyle in order to better utilize resources and reduce waste. It argues that the current economic system and individual approach to life encourages overconsumption and the accumulation of unnecessary possessions. Instead, it proposes that people share more of what they own, such as vehicles, clothes, tools and technology, in order to reduce consumption and extend the lifespan of products. Sharing resources more efficiently could help address issues like concentration of wealth and the production of excess waste.

This document discusses regular languages and finite automata (FA). It begins by stating that any regular expression (Regex) can be converted to a finite automaton (FA) and vice versa, since Regex and FA are equivalent in their descriptive power. A regular language is one that is recognized by some FA.
The document then provides details on converting a deterministic finite automaton (DFA) to a regular expression (Regex) in two steps: 1) converting the DFA to a generalized nondeterministic finite automaton (GNFA) and 2) converting the GNFA to a Regex. It describes the properties of a GNFA, including that transition functions can contain Regex, and provides an example and formal definition of a
AHDS Annual Conference 2016 - Mark PriestleyAHDScotland
This document summarizes a presentation by Professor Mark Priestley on school-based curriculum development. It discusses different approaches to curriculum development, including content-led, outcomes-based, and process-based curricula. It notes tensions that can arise between policy intentions and school implementation. Barriers to change are addressed, including physical, structural, attitudinal and cultural barriers. The importance of clarity of purpose, knowledge selection, and appropriate pedagogical methods are emphasized. Overall it promotes an approach where curriculum development starts from broad educational goals and purposes, then determines appropriate knowledge and teaching strategies to achieve those goals.
The document discusses transforming lives through learning and focuses on the curriculum, tracking and monitoring, pedagogy, and literacy. It notes that schools will be expected to have clear strategies to reduce achievement gaps across the curriculum. Examples of curriculum rationale, assessment information, and questions to consider about shared understanding of curriculum goals and tracking/monitoring processes are provided. The presentation aims to share ideas and examples of transforming learning through a literacy-rich curriculum.
Este documento describe los tres principales tipos de rocas: ígneas, formadas cuando el magma se enfría y solidifica bajo o sobre la superficie terrestre; metamórficas, que se forman a partir de otras rocas sometidas a altas presiones y temperaturas sin llegar a fundirse; y sedimentarias, compuestas de minerales resultado de procesos geológicos.
Un terremoto es causado por la liberación repentina de energía almacenada a lo largo del tiempo en las placas tectónicas de la corteza terrestre, lo que provoca movimientos sísmicos y ondulaciones. La escala de Richter mide la magnitud de un terremoto en función de la energía liberada. Terremotos menores son causados por desprendimientos de rocas, hundimientos de cavernas o cambios en la presión atmosférica.

El documento describe los diferentes tipos de volcanes, incluyendo sus partes principales como el cráter y la cámara magmática, y las emisiones como fumarolas y géiseres. Explica cuatro tipos de volcanes clasificados por la composición y comportamiento de la lava: hawaiano con lava fluida, estromboliano con lava fluida y gases explosivos, vulcaniano con gases y lava poco fluida, y peleano con lava muy viscosa que tapa rápido el cráter.
El átomo es la unidad más pequeña de un elemento químico que tiene existencia propia y no se puede dividir mediante procesos químicos. Está formado por un núcleo de protones y neutrones alrededor del cual orbitan los electrones. Demócrito propuso la teoría atómica original basada en átomos indivisibles, mientras que Dalton modificó esta teoría para adaptarla al conocimiento científico de su época postulando que las materias están formadas por partículas indivisibles. Rutherford luego propuso
