The document discusses three levels of design for human activities: reactive, proactive, and emergent. The reactive level involves solving problems with existing systems. The proactive level focuses on developing new systems for defined activities and users. The emergent level jointly designs new human activities and enabling technologies. Different methods are applied at each level, from task scenarios and walkthroughs at the reactive level to future scenarios and stakeholder simulations at the emergent level.
Een kernpunt van het overheidsbeleid is het gebruik van open standaarden voor documenten. Deze presentatie werd gegeven door Fabrice Mous op het seminar 'Open voor Beslissers en nuanceert het overheidsbeleid en gaat in op nut en noodzaak van open standaarden voor de documenthuishouding in de publieke sector. Ook toont Mous een aanpak voor de adoptie en het gebruik van open documentstandaarden en geeft aan op welke wijze OpenDoc Society kan faciliteren in de uitvoering van die aanpak.
This document provides an overview of linear equations and how to solve them. Linear equations only contain variables raised to the first power and can be more complicated than early math problems involving addition. To solve linear equations, the same operations are performed on both sides of the equation until no operations remain and the variable is isolated on one side in its solution. An example problem walks through the steps of subtracting 6 from both sides to isolate x and reveal that the solution is x = -9.
Combinations involve selecting objects without regard to order. A combination counts arrangements like AB and BA as the same, unlike permutations. The number of combinations is represented by nCr, which is fewer than the number of permutations nPr since order does not matter in combinations. This document provides examples of counting combinations of letters, line segments between points on a circle, and the probability of neither yourself nor a friend being selected from a class for an interview.
The Law of Sines provides a tool for solving triangles when we are given information other than just side-side-side (SSS) or side-angle-side (SAS), making it easier to use than the Law of Cosines in some cases. It demonstrates how to solve triangles ABC and DEF using the Law of Sines by relating each side of a triangle to its opposite angle.

The document summarizes key changes and provisions from several new Chinese laws and regulations related to land registration, foreign investment, and land use. It discusses 1) a new system of land registration in China that makes registration a civil matter rather than an administrative requirement, 2) measures for foreign vessel inspection companies to operate in China, 3) strengthened administration of new projects to ensure compliance with various approvals and policies, and 4) policies on conserving and efficiently using land, including recovering unused land. The document is intended to help subscribers understand and compare the new laws.
This document discusses using the derivative of a function to find the slope of the tangent line at a point c, which can be written as the point-slope form of a linear equation. It provides an example of finding the linear approximation of the function f(x)=1+sin(x) at the point (0,1), and asks if the error from this linear approximation is significant.
Uniform circular motion (UCM) refers to motion at a constant speed in a circular path. For an object to move in UCM, it must experience a net force towards the center of the circle, known as the centripetal force. This force can be provided by tension, normal force, gravity, or friction. To solve a UCM problem, identify the known values such as speed, radius, and mass and use the equations for velocity, centripetal acceleration, and centripetal force to determine the net force required.
The document discusses different measures of central tendency, including the mean and median. It introduces the concept of using sigma notation to simplify writing out long sums, such as when calculating the mean of a data set. It provides an example of entree prices from a restaurant and encourages writing out the formula to calculate the mean using sigma notation.
A sunny day turned stormy as huge clouds covered the sky and a big storm with thunder arrived, which caused an unavoidable flood and tornado that ravaged the entire country. The document describes a sunny day turning disastrous with a storm bringing a flood and tornado.
Snorkeling allows one to view coral reefs and sea life through the use of a snorkel, mask, and fins. Coral reefs are fragile ecosystems made up of live and dead organisms that provide shelter for many species. When snorkeling among reefs, one should avoid touching coral or disturbing sea creatures, as both the reefs and wildlife are easily damaged. Common dangers include stings and bites from creatures that feel threatened. Increased pollution, sedimentation, overfishing and climate change all endanger coral reefs. National parks and sanctuaries help protect these ecosystems.

1. Scenario based design uses narratives or stories to describe how users will interact with a system. These scenarios help designers understand user needs and how people will accomplish tasks with the system.
2. Scenarios are both concrete, providing specific examples of usage, and flexible, allowing for refinement and elaboration. This helps designers manage the fluid nature of design situations.
3. Considering scenarios promotes a work-oriented design process focused on the needs of users. Scenarios also help designers reflect on and evaluate their work throughout the design process.
The document discusses theories and principles of screen design, including:
1) It describes four levels of human-computer interaction (goal, task, dialogue, input/output levels) and how they relate to a user's experience and understanding.
2) It summarizes Jesse James Garrett's theory of user experience design as ensuring every aspect of a user's experience is intentionally designed.
3) It outlines John Cato's framework for design thinking which involves understanding user needs, grouping content areas, wireframing interactions, and visual design.
4) It discusses how visual perception influences design through bottom-up and top-down processes, and the importance of contrast, color, and similarity/dissimilarity in guiding visual
