1. The document discusses differences in nonverbal communication across cultures, focusing on Latin American and American cultures. It highlights differences in uses of space, eye contact, smiling, gestures, and views of time, work, play, and money.
2. Teachers are advised to help students learn to adapt their nonverbal behaviors to different contexts rather than replace their own cultural practices. Role playing can help students become aware of cultural differences in communication.
3. While smiling, eye contact, and views of noise vs. silence differ between Latin and American cultures, all cultures have virtues and flaws, and nonverbal behaviors should be understood in cultural context rather than judged as superior or inferior.
Nonverbal communication (NVC) between people is communication through sending and receiving wordless clues. It includes the use of visual cues such as body language (kinesics), distance (proxemics) and physical environments/appearance, of voice (paralanguage) and of touch (haptics).

Communication
,LARAY 1\1. BARNA
Why is it that contact with persons from other cul-
tures so often is frustrating and fraught with misun-
derstanding? Good intentions, the use of what one
considers to be a friendly approach, and even the
possibility of mutual benefits don't seem to be suffi-
cient - to many people's surprise. A worse scenario
is when rejection occurs just because the group to
which a person belongs is "different." It's appropri-
ate at this time of major changes in the international
scene to take a hard look at S0111e of the reasons for
this, New proximity and new types of relationships
are presenting cornmurucation challenges that few
people are ready to meet.
THE SIX STUMBLING BLOCKS
I. Assumption of Similarities
One answer to the question of why misunderstand-
ing and/or rejection occurs is that many people na-
ively assume there are sufficient similarities among
peoples of the world to make communication easy.
They expect that simply being human, having com-
mon requirements of food, shelter, security, and so
on, makes everyone alike. Unfortunately they over-
look the fact that the forms of adaptation to these

common biological and social needs and the
beliefs, and attitudes surrounding them are vastly
different from culture to culture. The biological
commonallties are not much help when it comes to
communication, where we need to ideas
and information, find ways to live and work to-
gether, or just make the kind of impression we want
to make,
Another reason many people are lured into
thinking that "people are people" is that it reduces
the discomfort of dealing with difference. If some-
one acts or looks "strange;' (different from them)
it's then possible to evaluate this as "wrong" and
treat everyone ethnocentrically.
The assumption of similarity does not often ex-
tend to the expectation of a COn11TlOn verbal lan-
guage but it does interfere with caution in decoding
nonverbal symbols, signs, and signals. No C1'085-
cultural studies have proven the existence of a corn-
man nonverbal language except those in support of
Darwin's theory that facial expressions are univer-
sal.' Ekman (1976) found that "the particular visible
pattern. on the face, the combination of muscles con-
tracted for anger, fear, surprise, sadness, disgust,
happiness (and probably also for interest) is the
same for all members of our species" (pp 19-20).
This seems helpful. until it is realized that a per-
son's cultural upbringing determines whether or
not the emotion will be displayed or suppressed, as
well as on which occasions and to what degree (Ek-
man & Friesen, 1969, p. 1). The situations that bring
about the emotional feeling also differ from culture
to cultu ...
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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.

We are all one family, Light or dark, as it may be, All are equal on this earth When we measure human worth. We all laugh when we feel gay, Each one laughing his own way, Some laugh low and some laugh high, Some as if they’re going to cry.

Different, different, yet the same: When we want to play a game We must all accept the rules Though we come from different schools. We are people, you and I, Like the people passing by, Same but different, different same, My name’s _______, what’s your name?
