The document discusses issues around the use of genetic information and technology to control human reproduction and individuals. It compares the practices of the World State in Brave New World, where genetic engineering and conditioning are used to strictly control castes and roles, to contemporary society. While both seek to maintain peace and stability, the World State does so by limiting freedom and individuality, manipulating people through technologies like the drug soma. The document questions whether similar trends toward social control through emerging technologies could undermine individual liberty in modern societies as well.

Lego Beowulf and the Web of Hands and Hearts, for the Danish national museum ...Michael Edson
This talk was delivered at the awards ceremony for the 2012 Bikuben Foundation Danish Museum Prize in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Ideas about what museums are, who they serve, and the role they play in society are changing with dramatic speed, driven largely by social media and the participatory culture of global networks.
Denmark supports world-class museums, with remarkable collections, expert staff, and beautiful architecture. But how can museum leaders balance the traditional concepts of organizational mission and outcomes with the disruptive possibilities being demonstrated by those who love and use museums in new ways?

It's not filter failure. It's a discovery deficit.Cameron Neylon
Slides for a talk given at RLUK 2010 conference in Edinburgh on 11 November 2010. The talk focuses on the idea of switching from filtering, or blocking the publication of information to one of enabling discovery and what this means for the library and librarians.

Keynote for the Prague Platform on the Future of Cultural Heritage, convened by the European Commission, October 7-8, 2019. The Prague Platform talks about
“Enhanced digitally enabled cultural heritage participation for all citizens.”
But what do these words mean? And how might we approach them — as practitioners, communities, governments and institutions, and citizens?

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. 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.
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.
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.

4. Human reproduction in World State
“They’re plagued with
no mother or fathers;
they’ve got no wives,
or children, or lovers
to fell strongly about;
they’re so conditioned
that they practically
can’t help behaving at
they ought to behave.”
( Huxley 220 )
5. Separation
"What with mothers and lovers, what with the
prohibition they were not conditioned to obey,
what with the temptations and the lonely
remorse. what with all the diseases and the
endless isolating pain, what with the
uncertainties and the poverty-they were forced
to feel strongly”.
( Huxley 39)
