This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.
Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

• Dr. Sarabhai was inspired by Dr Raman’s dedication
to scientific research and his contributions to
Indian Science.
• His guidance along with that of other scientists,
played a key role in the Establishment of Physical
Research Laboratory (PRL), in Ahmedabad .

Abdul Kalam during his early carrer. Sarabhai recognized
Kalam’s talent and enthusiasm for space research.
• Dr Kalam played a significant role in the IRSO program
under the leadership of DR Sarabhai, as he was involved
in the development of India’s first Indigenous Satellite
launch vehicle (SLV), and its first satellite, Rohini.
• Dr Kalam further went to contribute in SLV and SLV-3.
• Both Dr. Kalam and Dr Sarabhai shared a vision for the
peaceful use of space technology for India’s socio-
economic development. They worked together to
advance space research and applications in the country.
8. Cosmic Rays
Experiment
• It was a significant undertaking that aimed to study
cosmic rays, which are high-energy particles originating
from outer space.
• Cosmic rays are also called astro-particles that originate
from the sun or from outside the solar system in our
own galaxy or from other galaxies.
• The experiment took place in the early 1960’s in the
outskirts of Thumba, a coastal village located near
Thiruvanthapuram in Kerela.
• It was chosen due to its proximity with the
geomagnetic equator, which made it the ideal spot for
the study of cosmic rays and their interactions with the
earth’s atmosphere
• Cosmic rays were detected due to their ionising effect
on the atmosphere which made the atmosphere
conductive. This conduction could be measured by
devices like Elecetroscope.
9. Cosmic Rays experiment
• Objective:
• The Primary goal of this experiment was to
understand the nature, origin and behavior of
these mysterious rays as they interacted with the
Earth’s Atmosphere.
• Cosmic Rays: They are charged particles,
including protons and other atomic nuclei, which
originate from various sources in the universe.
• The picture shows the known interactions
between Cosmic rays and the atmosphere.

10. Cosmic Rays
Experiment
• Equipment Used for Experiment:
• High Altitude Ballons
Scientific Instruments:
• Geiger-Muller Counter
• Scintillation detectors
• Ionization Chambers
• Photographic Plates
• Data recorders
• Environmental sensors
• Parachute or Recovery systems
• Power Supply
• Telemetry systems
• There instruments were designed to
measure the intensity and
characteristics of cosmic rays at
different altitudes.
11. Cosmic Rays
Experiment
• Experimental Procedure:
1. Ballon Launch:
• The High Altitude Ballon known
as the “Cosmic Ray Paylod”, was
launched into the upper
atmosphere from the Thumba
Equatorial Rocket Launching
Station (TERLS).
• The payload was carried up by
the Ballon which ascended to
significant altitudes. (30 km).
12. Cosmic Rays
Experiment
2. Data Collection:
As the ballon ascends, the scientific instruments
on board began collecting data on the cosmic
rays. The instruments could detect and record
the passage of cosmic ray particles.
3. Altitude Profiling:
The experiment aimed to profile the behaviour
of cosmic rays at different altitudes. By
measuring cosmic rays at varying heights in the
earth’s atmosphere the Earth’s Scientists could
better understand how cosmic rays interacted
with air molecules and how their intensity
changed with altitude.
13. Cosmic Rays
Experiment
4. Data Analysis:
The data collected during the
experiment was carefully
analysed to determine the
energy type and other
characteristics of the cosmic
rays.
This analysis helped scientists
gain insights into cosmic rays
phenomena.

Editor's Notes
Cosmic Rays were discovered by Austrian Physicist Victor Hess in 1912 using High-Altitude ballon experiment to investigate the ionizations in the earth’s atmosphere.
The first artificial satellite in the world, known as "Sputnik 1," was launched by the Soviet Union. Sputnik 1 was successfully launched on October 4, 1957. this started the era of space age and sending satellites out of the earth’s atmosphere.
