Strategies for Using Shorter,Similar & Differentiated Reading TextsESAP Sympo...Stephen j Hall
Research shows that when it comes to reading longer texts, struggling students use limited meta-cognitive strategies and lack motivation, resulting in some passivity and reluctance (Lesley, M., Watson, P. & Elliot, S., 2007). In an attempt to help such struggling students, reading shorter and differentiated texts might be an answer, as prevalent in our Twitter-centric youngsters. In this workshop, participants will attempt to explore various strategies using such varied levelled texts to elicit more reading and active participation from students. The strategies could be used pre-, during and post-reading, involving both productive and receptive skills.

Reading and tackling the role of responses: More than comprehension questions
Classroom learning is often driven by questions or tasks given and the answer or product required. This is especially noticeable in learning cultures in which the teacher defines the ‘how’ of learning by the one correct answer sought or a closely defined outcome. With an examination dominant system driven by competitive school league tables, correctness may begin to dominate creativity and critical thinking. Yet this can be contested if facilitators of learning use varied responses to reading rather than rely on the one and only correct task type or response.
This workshop will provide experience in varied task types which are responses to written text. Just two reading texts will be used to suggest a range of responses which could stimulate vocabulary understanding and use, while developing creativity in teaching and learning
A study on understanding the concept of demonetization with reference to MBA ...Syed Valiullah Bakhtiyari
This research is fully based on primary data and it has been collected first hand by the researcher itself, since the respondents were students pursuing master's in business administration it becomes very interesting to know the new age jargon of demonetization.
Evolution is just a story which lacks of reason, logic and science. This presentation proves that ET (evolution theory is just a Evolution Tale , E.T. You will have fun while reading it!
The topic of God has confounded the world since the beginning of mankind. It can be a very difficult, complex, and often confusing subject. Numerous theories about God, religions, and beliefs have emerged, but while the motives of those creating and promoting these different understandings may be well intentioned, logic and the beliefs themselves make it impossible for all of them to be correct. In fact, they are mutually exclusive - there cannot be no God and a God; there cannot be one and only one God as some religions believe and, at the same time, be many Gods; and so on.
In an effort to put all of these issues in proper perspective, this slide show presentation provides a broad variety of facts, logic, perspectives, and references that can help you form your own belief about this most important question. We encourage you to review this presentation and the referred web site, Blogs, cited references, and a subsequent presentation about who God is if you conclude there is a God, with an open heart and an open mind!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Knowledge engineering: from people to machines and back
Oh my god!
1. Oh my God!
(just give me 5 minutes, it would change your life)
By Cosmic philosopher
2. Please don’t stop reading!!
Just give me 5 minutes from your life
Fasten your seat belts!! I would take you to a scientific
journey of unexplored horizons traversing
spiruality,faith,rationality and ultimately land up on an
unknown destination!!!
I would try to explain you, answer few of your
unanswered questions, and confuse you with few
questions.
3.
This presentation does not contain any graphics
or animation.
But please read it, it would take only 5 minutes,
I promise you that at the end of it you would be
left with unanswered questions and would make
you think and think forever!
I am just presenting a rationalist’s view and in no
way intend to hurt anybody's feeling.
4.
Does God exist?
Is God a person?
Is God enormous energy?
Is God enormous intelligence?
Is God probability or probability defying?
Or probably a combination of all?
Before answering lets see few facts which might seem boring to few of
you, just tolerate me for few minutes.
5. Where are we in universe
500 billion galaxies in universe
1012 stars in each galaxies
1024 stars in universe
Considering 8 planets in each stellar system we
would have 8*1024 planets!!
6. How old is our universe
Universe is 13.8 billion years old
Milky way is 13.2 billion years old
Solar system is 4.568 billion years
Life begin on earth 3.6 billion years ago
Human life begin on earth 0.2 million years ago
Then why oldest mythology is only few thousand years old!
7. Where is life in universe?
Of this many of them would be in goldilocks
zones capable of sustaining a carbon based life
form like earth.
Lets consider 1 in 8 planet are in goldilocks zone
same logic as solar system) which makes the
number to 1024 planets
8. Water is everywhere!!
According to an estimate 2 billion planets in
milky way have water which is necessary for
carbon based life.
So there could be 1012 planets capable in goldi
lock zones with water
There are 8.7 * 106 variety of life species on earth
which makes 8.7 * 1018 different carbon based
life forms in universe.
10.
There are about 4200 religions on planet earth
which is just one of the 1024 planets capable of
sustaining carbon based life form. So there could
be 4200*1024 religions and Gods in the whole
universe.
11. To Add
Many religions tell that there are more then one
universe (multiverse), even science is now thinking in
that direction. Our universe could be just one small dot
out of the zillions of universe!!
Also non carbon based life form could very exist.
So considering all this the numbers are enormous ,we
don’t have a mathematics we could exactly calculate all
this numbers.
12. Infinitity
I hate the word infinity!
Our science is so lame that anything we cant
measure is termed as infinity!
Energy of a black hole is infinite but there are
billions of black hole in universe how do you
quantify it?
Anything infinite is GoD
Just imagine how much amount of energy would
it take to be God of the universe.
13.
Now that you understand the grand design just
give a thought?
Why there are so many religions?
Why almost all mythology and origin of religions
date to same time few thousand years back
whereas life is existing for billions of years ?
14.
I am an atheist and I pray everyday but God for
me is not God for few of my friends, Why?
Why different parts of earth have different
Gods?
Why at present nobody has seen God?
Why other species on earth don’t have religion?
15. So ???
Is God the greatest discovery of an intelligent
brain?
16. So why do we need
supernatural figures?
If we see all species including monkeys nobody
has this concept, we have never seen a
chimpanzee worshiping though they are our
closest ancestors!!
Then why do we ????
17. Why do we humans do that
Evolution is a continuous process and with each
new species intelligence increases.
Humans are probably the first species with
reasonably good intelligence so we try to find
out answers, who we are , from where we came,
why we, we cant find the answers so we attribute
all to a broad terminology God!
18.
We started to ask questions and when we could
not answer them we attributed it to a
supernatural entity which made life easy.
Animals don’t need it because they don’t ask
such questions. Animals are engineered to eat,
survive and reproduce.
19.
Anything which goes wrong or right with us , its
easy to blame God.
I survived in a earthquake, I said God saved me!
My friend passed away in that earthquake , his
parents said it was God’s wish, what can we
humans do!
20. So what can we humans do!
We are living in a miserable era which is neither ancient
(in age of mythology things like telepathy, teleportation
existed) nor advanced!
Our science has not progressed enough to provide us
100 % security from diseases, natural calamities, so we
find helpless and have no option but believe in
supernatural figures.
21.
There is so much chaos and uncertainty
surrounding us. There is no guarantee that you
would see tomorrow morning!
Attributing everything to god makes life easy, we
don’t need to provide lengthy explanations or
think beyond, just say its his wish.
22.
Even religions say that this is physical world.
So everything that occurs in our physical
universe could be explained by laws of physics
and mathematics though are science is not
perfect.
23.
Occurrence of every event has got a finite
probability.
Believe me, in mathematics there is a finite
probability that one morning you wake up and
find yourself on Mars!!
But the unfortunate thing is occurrence of any
event is attributed to god! So is God a
probability or someone who defies probability??
24. Yes there was an age of mythology
Dating thousands of years back there were
supernatural figures which ruled the world, I
don’t have an explanation for that probably
Tsoukalos explains it wonderfully on a popular
program on history channel!
25.
There has been mention of
imortality,flying,teleportation,telepathy,dual
existence, cloning,weapons of mass destruction
with perfect security codes during the age of
mythology in almost all parts of the world.
This were attributed as magic and supernatural
acts.
26.
We have achieved few of them and for the
rest ,believe me it’s a question of few lac years,
we would be able to achieve all those feast.
Anything which has been done on planet earth
can be done again its just matter of time and
technology.
27. Think!
In few million years from now earth would be
wonderful place to leave as like ancient times.
we would not need any vehicles, we could teleport our
self to any place by creating temporary wormholes and
portals.
There would be no net,tv,pc,mobiles because we could
achieve it all in our super intelligent brains itself!
28. So what would happen then
We would be disease free, immortal and would
be able to prevent natural disasters.
I think we would evolve into super intelligent
species which then would not need such blanket
terminology to explain anything.
29. What else
War, hatred, fight would never be an
issue with super intelligent species in
future.
We would be having lunch on Mars,
dinner on Titan (moon of Titan) and
dive deep inside the oceans of Europa
(moon of Jupiter).
I really doubt we might not need this
supernatural concept then!
30.
We would be able to do genetic manipulations and
make species capable of surviving in a particular alien
environment.
There would be no need to terraform an allien planet
and destroy its ecosystem instead we could engineer
new species.
There is so much space in the universe each one of us
can become king of one galaxy
31. Suppose!
If we were to create new life form on an alien
uninhabited planet , how would it be.
If we were to make them survive longer , we
would have to give them some intelligence but at
the same time we would like to remain ahead of
them in intelligence so we would not make them
super intelligent and let them lag few million
years behind in evolution!.
32.
Some of us might need to stay with them for
few years and teach them how to live civilized
life, science, mathematics and all
And then we would become God for them!
33.
I would continue from here in the next ppt
provided you like this ppt and comment on it
I have no intentions of hurting anybody, but
please just wanted to give you an alternate
thought!
34.
One day millions of years from now when their
brain evolves one of them may post a ppt with
similar questions on slideshare!!!
35.
I presented my thoughts and people responded
that your thinking is rational and our thinking is
based on faith.
People said rationality and faith are different.
Some parts and neurotransmitters of brain make
us rational whereas other parts make us have
faith! Its all within the box!!
36. What I replied them
Everything can be explained logically and scientifically,
it’s a matter of time.
Solar eclipse was considered once as God’s curse ,
people had faith but now as you all know we can
explain it logically and scientifically.
What I mean to say is many things which cant be
explained today, somebody would explain it tomorrow.
37. What else!
Yes few greedy people might have misused the
name of god for various reasons and might have
become self styled god man!
