Presentació del Pla de riscos del terme municipal de Tortosa, per a l'assignatura "plans d'emergències i dispositius de risc previsibles" del CFGM Tècnic en Emergències Sanitàries
It is a 100 page article on the "Wedding at Cana (Jn 2:1-12), published in an international theological review "Marianum". There are three parts: 1) Literary Analysis; 2) Narratological Analysis; 3) Theological meaning of John 2:1-12
The ecomorphology of 14 fish species resident in a headwater riffles area of the São Francisco river, southeastern Brasil, was
analyzed and combined with diet and feeding behavior data, previously obtained by us. The three larger species groups
formed in the ecomorphological analysis were found to reflect primarily microhabitat occupation in the following manner: a)
nektonic characids with compressed bodies, lateral eyes and lateral pectoral fins, with diurnal and opportunistic feeding habits
(Astyanax rivularis, Bryconamericus stramineus, and Bryconamericus sp.); b) nektobenthic characiforms and siluriforms
with fusiform bodies and expanded pectoral fins, including sit-and-wait characidiins, predators of aquatic insect larvae
(Characidium fasciatum and Ch. zebra), as well as the algae grazing parodontids (Apareiodon ibitiensis and Parodon
hilarii), and also the heptapterid and trichomycterid catfishes that practice substrate speculation and feed on benthic aquatic
insect larvae (Cetopsorhamdia iheringi, Imparfinis minutus, Rhamdia quelen, and Trichomycterus sp.); c) benthic species
with depressed bodies, suctorial oral discs, dorsal eyes, and horizontal pectoral fins, represented by the periphytivorous
loricariid catfishes (Hisonotus sp., Harttia sp., and Hypostomus garmani).

Diversity and distribution of anuran in two islands of Parnaíba River Delta, ...Innspub Net
The distribution and composition of communities are influenced by factors that determine the environmental characteristics in a particular region. In order to obtain more information regarding the fauna of frogs in the region of the Parnaíba River Delta, Northeastern Brazil, we performed a quantitative ecological study to compare the composition and distribution of the amphibian communities. The study was conducted in the two largest islands of Deltafrom September 2008 to August 2009. Fifteen ponds were selected and slowly covered in search of males in calling activity. We recorded 21 frog species, distributed in five families and 11 genera. Ilha Grande de Santa Isabel(21 spp.) had higher species richness than the Ilha das Canárias (11 spp.). Although most species are considered to be common in open areas, they were highly influenced by the structural complexity of the vegetation. The highest richness was observed in environments with greatest availability of microhabitats for reproduction. The preservation of different environments found in the two islands, associated with the maintenance of suitable habitats for reproduction of each species, will contribute to the conservation of amphibian communities of the Parnaiba Delta River.

Cyanobacteria, microcystins and cylindrospermopsin in public drinking supply ...M Carmo Oliveira
O Brasil tem um histórico de contaminações em reservatórios de águas destinadas ao abastecimento público por toxinas de cianobactérias. Essas toxinas, entre elas microcistinas e cilindropspermopsinas, causam sérios problemas ao homem. O estudo relata a ocorrência de MC e CYN em 10 reservatórios de abastecimento público do nordeste do Brasil. Devido à similaridade das comunidades de cianobactérias encontradas nos reservatórios e a presença de espécies potencialmente produtoras de toxinas, associada às MC e CYN, o estudo sugere que uma expansão geográfica possa ser favorecida por esses fatores.
Use of Fishing Resources by Women in the Mamanguape River Estuary, Paraíba st...Priscila Trindade
We evaluated the appropriation and use of fishing resources by women residing near the Mamanguape River
Estuary (MRE), Paraíba state, Brazil. Were used combinations of qualitative (interviews and direct observations)
and quantitative methods (use value and corrected principal use concordance). Thirty women were interviewed
and reported the use of 41 species (30 fish, 8 crustaceans, and 3 mollusks), mainly for local consumption and
sale. The species with the highest use value were Genidens genidens (0.7), Callinectes exasperatus (0.73)
and Anomalocardia brasiliana (0.46). The diversity of resources exploited demonstrates the importance of
the mangrove ecosystem to MRE families, and the data gathered can serve as a basis for formulating public
policies to promote the equal participation of women in fishing and environmental conservation.
A Rapid marine biodiversity assessment of the coral reefs in morales Beach, B...Innspub Net
Morales beach is one of the beaches located in the coastal town of Glan, Sarangani Province and noted for its quite enormous coral reef which is continuously degrading. This study was conducted to assess the health status of coral reef ecosystem and to evaluate the physico-chemical parameters of the area. Point Intercept Transect (PIT) method was used to monitor live coral condition and the supporting fauna at a coral reef ecosystem. Physico-chemical parameters were obtained in situ using a thermometer, refractometer, and a pH meter. The result of the study showed a very low percentage cover of hard corals, no cover percentage of soft corals and high cover percentage of other biota or substrate. The reef areas exhibited poor coral cover with an average of 15 percent live hard corals having family Acropora as the most dominant species (Shannon diversity index of 1.653). Water samples obtained were within the DENR (1990) standards suitable for the optimum growth of coral reefs. The health status of the coral reefs in Morales beach showed a partially disturbed reef due to human intervention. It is greatly recommended to constantly monitor the coral conditions in order to effectively manage and protect the increasing number of Marine Protected Areas (MPA).

Abstract: The present study aims to assess the status of fresh water crab resources in the area. The study was made on species diversity including its taxonomic position, morphological characteristics, habits, habitat and distribution. Out of various water bodies scanned so far two species of crabs were recorded viz Maydelliathelphusa masoniana Henderson, (1893) from plain areas and Himalayapotamon emphysetum Alcock (1909) from hilly stretches of the region. A total of 592 crabs were obtained, 282 being males and 310 females. The maximum carapace in female was 6.0 cm with abdominal width of 4.5 cm. Males exhibited carapace width of 6.3 cm and chela length of 5.7 cm and chela depth of 3.5 cm.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
