The passage discusses several factors that contributed to the decline of the parallel cinema movement in India from 1980-2000. This period saw radical economic and technological transformations, including the expansion of Doordarshan's television network, the introduction of color TV, and the launch of economic liberalization policies. These policies ended Doordarshan's broadcasting monopoly and allowed satellite television to enter India. Commercial internet also arrived in 1995. These technological changes captured the attention of India's growing urban middle class and provided more media choices, which reduced support for parallel cinema.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

PARASTRONAUT PROJECT
As part of ESA’s commitment to enhance
inclusiveness and fair representation,
the Agency is launching the parastronaut
feasibility project to assess the
conditions for including astronauts
with disabilities to work in space.
This project is a new endeavour for
Europe and a global first.
The selected candidate(s) will work with
ESA to assess and optimise the conditions
allowing people with physical disabilities
to work and live in space.
The feasibility project aims at offering
professional spaceflight
opportunities to a wider pool of
talents. Starting with selected disabilities
to have a thorough understanding of the
potential challenges in terms of safety
and operations in space, the scope of
disabilities may then be extended aiming
at broader inclusion.
The educational and psychological
requirements for these candidates are the
same as for the ESA astronaut selection.
However, with respect to physical
requirements, this feasibility project
will allow the inclusion of candidates with
the following disabilities:
•
a lower limb deficiency, as follows:
-
Single or double foot deficiency
through ankle
-
Single or double leg deficiency
below the knee
•
a pronounced leg length difference
•
a short stature (130 cm)

17. CAVES
CAVES stands for Cooperative
Adventure for Valuing and Exercising
human behaviour and performance
Skills. The three-week course
prepares astronauts to work safely
and effectively in multicultural
teams in an environment where
safety is critical – in caves.
The cave environment provides many
space-relevant conditions, including
isolation from the outside world,
confinement, minimal privacy,
technical challenges, as well as limited
equipment and supplies for hygiene
and comfort. Participants must adapt to
living and working together in a unique
environment to meet scientific and
exploration objectives.
Constant attention to
safety rules, procedures
and equipment is critical to
the successful completion
of the mission.
18. PANGAEA
The Pangaea course provides European astronauts
practical knowledge of geology of Earth,
Moon and Mars to prepare them
to work with planetary scientists and
engineers in the next exploration missions.
The course is split into several parts over a year, in these locations:
Earth and lunar geology
Nördlinger Ries crater,
Germany
Geological field training
and astrobiology
Lanzarote, Spain
Astronauts train to work together with
robots, scientists and engineers on Earth,
using the best field geology and planetary
observation techniques.

20. INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
The International Space Station is an example
of broad cooperation, uniting Europe,
USA, Russia, Japan and Canada in one
of the largest partnerships
in the history of science.
The Station is one of the
greatest engineering works
achieved by humankind, and proof that it is
possible to sustain life away from Earth. Results
relating to the effects of long stays in orbit teach
us how to manage the risks of future human
missions farther out in space.
The endeavour has brought
humankind together to live
and work in space uninterrupted for
over two decades.
21. GATEWAY
The Gateway has a mass of around 40 tonnes and will consist of a
service module, a communications module, a connecting module, an airlock
for spacewalks, a place for the astronauts to live and an operations station
to command the Gateway’s robotic arm or rovers on the Moon.
The lunar Gateway will be assembled
and operated in a highly elliptical
orbit around the Moon.
Astronauts will use the
Orion spacecraft
to travel to the Gateway.
Astronauts will be able to occupy the
Gateway for up to 90 days at a time.
The space station will
also offer a place to relay
communications
and is a base for
scientific research.
It will be a staging post for missions
to the Moon and Mars. It will provide
shelter and a place to stock up on
supplies for astronauts en route to
more distant destinations.
22. ORION EUROPEAN SERVICE MODULE
Orion is a NASA spacecraft set for missions
to the Moon, Mars and beyond.
This is the first collaboration
between ESA and NASA on
a transportation vehicle that will carry
astronauts farther into space
than ever before.
ESA has designed Orion’s European
Service Module – the powerhouse
that will supply the spacecraft with
electricity, propulsion, thermal control,
air and water.
23. ROSCOSMOS
ROCKETS
Going to space
Getting to space requires a rocket
launch. These are the rockets that
ESA astronauts could be launched on.
