Supporting Academic Research on Sex and Sexuality Across Cultures and Discipl...Shirin Eshghi
Abstract:
Japanese literary works that feature sexual content have been a major focus of academic scholarship in recent decades.The ability to support this research often proves problematic. Information on sexual material is often missing from the collections and services mandate of source countries. Publications are often hard to identify even when vendors are willing to supply them. Without a tradition of collecting and classifying such material within Japan, we are left to rely on a Western framework of handling and housing the works. This presentation, considers the challenges associated with building and managing erotic collections across languages and disciplines.
Presentation to college freshman on a specific assignment they were given on Nevada and family history. Not too much content in the actual slides as I spoke most of it.

This workshop is an in-depth look at enriching student learning through hands-on access to historical collections and primary sources. We'll provide an overview of the collections, assignment ideas, and best practices for integrating Special Collections into student work.
History today often seems deeply divided, as public historians and educators complain about the disengagement of academics and college and university professors pursue increasingly esoteric subjects of research. Robert Townsend will speak on the findings of his recent book, History's Babel, which looks back to the early decades of the historical enterprise to show how efforts to professionalize pushed history specialists (in archives, historical societies, and teaching) away from each other.

Write a essay.- Cultural patrimony (an object with culturallorindajamieson
Write a essay.
-
Cultural patrimony (an object with cultural, historic, or traditional importance to a certain group or nation) is an ongoing subject of debate with culturally significant works of art collected in museums across the globe and far from their place of origin. Works of art have long been prized during wars and colonization as the rightful reward of the victors and most often without the consent of the vanquished. Do these circumstances of ownership become part of the history of an object thus endowing it with universal significance or do individual countries have the right to have works returned on the basis of national identity?
Click here
for an excellent introductory discussion of cultural heritage found on the Khan Academy website.
Countries seeking the return (or repatriation) of their cultural patrimony have done so with and without success. Ideas of ownership have changed over time and since the 1970’s organizations like UNESCO (

to go to their website) have established international laws to protect works of art and antiquities from looting and destruction. Nevertheless, cases that predate these rules are often difficult to prove. Once a work has been in a museum collection for centuries should it be considered a part of a greater world heritage despite the unsavory means with which it might have been collected? Or do the national interests of individual countries and their feelings of injustice outweigh this consideration, thus giving primacy to a specific cultural inheritance over a universal one?
This topic will ask you to explore these questions, among others, in a 4 page essay discussing the case of the Parthenon sculptures – aka The Elgin Marbles
- Your argument will be based on scholarly research using the online databases on the library website as well as relevant books in the collection. You will also want to go to the websites of the British Museum and the Parthenon Museum for information about these works and how each museum discusses them in relationship to their heritage.

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.

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!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
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.

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.
