A Perspective on Compassion: A Civic Engagement Discussion NSalawage
This document provides additional context and perspective about the famous photo "Vulture Stalking a Child" taken in Sudan in 1993. It reveals that the girl's parents were nearby receiving aid, the photographer chased away the vulture and the girl made it to the aid station. However, the photographer later committed suicide haunted by memories of the suffering he documented in Africa. The document aims to demonstrate how perspective can shape feelings of compassion versus criticism for both those in need and those trying to help.
This document summarizes heat treatment processes for steel, including TTT (time-temperature-transformation), CCT (continuous cooling transformation), and CCR (critical cooling rate) diagrams. It discusses how TTT diagrams show the kinetics of isothermal transformations in steel. CCT diagrams allow cooling curves to be superimposed to study the transformation of austenite at different cooling rates. CCR is defined as the slowest cooling rate that results in martensite formation or the fastest rate leading to perlite. Factors like carbon content and austenite temperature affect the critical cooling rate.

Abiding in Jesus is vital to maintaining full joy in Him. In this passage John reminds us that we can be confident that we abide in Him because of two things God has done for us: 1) given us of His Spirit and 2) sent His Son as Savior; and two things we must do: 1) Confess Jesus is the Son of God and 2) abide in love.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy is a technique used to characterize organic molecules by identifying carbon-hydrogen frameworks. It exploits the magnetic properties of atomic nuclei when subjected to radio waves and magnetic fields. There are two main types of NMR spectroscopy: 1H NMR determines the number and type of hydrogen atoms, and 13C NMR determines the type of carbon atoms. When nuclei are placed in a magnetic field, their spins can be aligned with or against the field, producing detectable signals. Chemical shifts in these signals provide information about the molecular structure and atomic environment of the nuclei.

Final Conference: Project Results presentation by Joe CullenLinks-up
The document summarizes the results of several validation experiments conducted as part of the LINKS-UP project. The experiments tested the use of Web 2.0 tools to support inclusive lifelong learning. Key findings include:
1) Web 2.0 improved skills like digital literacy, media skills, and soft skills for participants and helped connect people.
2) Challenges included lack of institutional buy-in, measuring learning gains, and ensuring participation of target groups.
3) Sustainability of projects beyond the initial funding was difficult without cooperation between organizations.
4) Web 2.0 shows potential as a catalyst for lifelong learning but each project is dependent on its specific social and economic context.
1) The document discusses monitoring progress towards achieving defined development outcomes from research projects. It emphasizes selecting key outcome indicators and establishing baseline levels to track intermediate stages of change.
2) Participants are encouraged to systematically collect and analyze information to assess how far targets are being realized and inform implementation.
3) The goal is to ultimately conclude on the development outcomes of the research by the project end in 2013 and identify triggers that will lead to further change. This would provide evidence to support continuation of projects.
This document discusses the roles and responsibilities of basin leaders in coordinating Challenge Program for Water and Food projects.

This document outlines a framework for providing information and communication services within the Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF). It discusses objectives like strengthening information sharing and addressing existing issues. It then presents a broad view of information and communication, focusing on learning, data management, and knowledge sharing. The document proposes a networked approach at multiple levels, from the program level down to individual projects. Finally, it outlines specific services that could be provided, such as internal sharing, supporting basins and programs, and influencing the global agenda.
The document outlines new initiatives for the content development team, including piloting new approaches to patient evaluations, updating evidence documents, developing guidelines for data displays in decision aids, and creating a procedures wiki. It provides details on the goals and proposed approaches for each initiative. Patient evaluations will pilot independent reviews, focus groups, and site data. Evidence documents will add citations and shareability. Data display guidelines will inventory current uses and review literature on effective visual formats. A wiki will document team procedures.
The document proposes several radical ideas for reforming education, including:
1. Separating teaching and assessment so people can pursue assignments independently and be assessed on their merits.
2. Using Wikipedia and other open collaboration platforms for student assignments to benefit communities while reducing assessment workloads.
3. Allowing people to accumulate credits toward degrees through open courses and activities to increase flexibility and engagement.
4. Designing student assignments around creating open educational resources to improve learning materials over time.
The ideas aim to make education more open, flexible and engaged with communities, but would require significant changes to practices, policies and administration. Pros and cons of each idea are discussed.

I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
