Using WebCT as an HTML Editor
This document provides instructions for an HTML introduction assignment. It tells the student to open the INTRODUCTIONS forum and compose a message, and that HTML tags can be used directly in the discussion dialog box without the HTML editor. It then provides two examples of formatting text using HTML tags - using <h1> tags to define the largest header, and using <strong> tags to bold text.
WEB-BASED ONTOLOGY EDITOR ENHANCED BY PROPERTY VALUE EXTRACTION
The document describes a web-based ontology editor that was developed to make ontology building easier for non-experts. The editor uses several approaches, including being web-based to not require installation, limiting technical terms and functions, and extracting property-value pairs from web pages to assist with registering instances. It provides an intuitive graphical view and list views of ontologies, along with sample applications to demonstrate usage. The key contribution discussed is an approach for extracting candidate property-value pairs using bootstrapping and dependency parsing techniques, and having users select the correct values. The accuracy of this extraction method is evaluated.

Food hygience: consumer insight and sustainablity
This document summarizes key findings from the 2017 Food and Health Survey conducted by the International Food Information Council Foundation. The survey investigated issues related to consumer food values, confusion, and safety concerns. Some key findings include:
- Americans find conflicting nutrition information confusing and it makes them doubt their food choices. They trust advice from dietitians most.
- Food production methods, corporate values, and sustainability are important factors for many consumers when making food purchases. Reducing pesticide use and conserving habitat are top sustainability concerns.
- Food safety remains a top concern, with foodborne illness and carcinogens cited as the most important issues. News, friends, and family most influence opinions on safety concerns. Many consumers report changing

Pesticides in Our Homes and Schools
Pesticides used in homes and schools can pose health risks to children. Many commonly used pesticides are linked to cancer, neurological effects, and reproductive harm. Children are especially vulnerable due to factors like their developing bodies and hand-to-mouth behaviors. While pesticide companies claim their products are safe, most are not fully tested and some are later found to cause unacceptable health risks. Safer alternatives to pesticides like integrated pest management focus on prevention and least-toxic controls and have proven effective at managing pests without toxic chemicals.
Potential Hidden Dangers of Personal Care Products
This document discusses potential hidden dangers of personal care products. It notes that while the FDA regulates these products, they are not thoroughly tested before sale as they are in Europe. Some key ingredients of concern that are found in many personal care products can have negative health effects and impact the environment. These include formaldehyde, phthalates, and parabens. The document encourages consumers to limit their exposure by choosing products with fewer ingredients and reading labels to avoid those of concern.
Chemical Preservatives and their Effects on Human Beings
The levels of food contamination have reached an all new level. To preserve the taste, freshness, and color of the foods, even fresh fruits and vegetables are loaded with chemicals and preservatives. Taking into consideration the increased use of chemicals and preservatives, it is extremely important to avoid junk food. However, when it comes to fresh fruits and vegetables, it is impossible to avoid them considering their dietary significance. This is the reason why it is extremely important to wash fruits and vegetables in the right way using a vegetable and fruit cleaner. Artificial or Chemical preservatives which are used to delay the contamination of foods are the ones that lead to health problems. These preservatives are artificially produced and synthetic in nature. These are often labeled as preservatives on food labels.

Toxic Alarm Guide
Daily use of common personal care products and household cleaners exposes people to over 500 chemicals. The large number of synthetic chemicals people encounter every day through these products is contributing to increased rates of diseases and health issues. Toxic chemicals from deodorants, cosmetics, hair products, soaps, and other items are absorbed through the skin and ingestion. This widespread chemical exposure is a major factor in today's health crisis according to research.

Creating File Paths in HTML
The document explains how to create file paths in HTML for linking between files in different folders. It provides examples of linking from index.html to 10.html, which is in nested folders, and then reversing the link back from 10.html to index.html. Each example is broken down into multiple steps showing how to link through the nested folders using relative paths with "../" to link out of each folder level.
The Future of Libraries (for beginners)
The document discusses the past, present, and future of libraries. It outlines how libraries have evolved from physical collections to include online resources and digital materials. Some key points about the future of libraries mentioned are that they will have increased online and virtual services, subscriptions to digital materials like ebooks and audiobooks, and technology available for checkout. The needs of changing patron demographics like Generation Y are also addressed, and it is suggested that patrons will ultimately decide the future shape of libraries.
Ranganathan and Reference Service in the Modern Library
S.R. Ranganathan outlined 5 laws of library science that guide modern libraries: 1) Books are for use, 2) Every reader his book, 3) Every book its reader, 4) Save the time of the reader, 5) A library is a growing organism. Modern libraries incorporate these laws by making materials openly accessible physically and online, connecting readers to new materials through recommendations, ensuring materials can be found and are up-to-date, and providing services like reference help and instruction that save patrons' time. Libraries also continually expand collections and services to meet community needs.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Search Strategy
- 2. Identify your topic Example Topic: What is the danger of pesticide residue on produce for the health of children?
- 3. Find your keywords What is the danger of pesticide residue on produce for the health of children? • KEYWORDS: dangers, pesticide residue, produce, health, children
- 4. Analyze your keywords What is the danger of pesticide residue on produce for the health of children? Look at all the possible variations of your keywords and think of new ones: danger(s) pesticide(s) produce hazards “pesticide fruit(s) children illness residue” vegetable(s) health(y) kids food New keyword concepts: Environmental health Pesticides in food Organic
- 5. Find Subject Headings Look in the library catalog or Library of Congress Subject Headings for controlled vocabulary on your topic: • Pesticides in food • Pesticides--health aspects • Children’s health • Environmental health • Organically grown foods
- 6. Make Keyword Combinations Use boolean logic to combine your keywords: What is the danger of pesticide residue on produce for the health of children? danger or hazards or illness AND “pesticide residue” AND children or kids health AND organic AND food or produce or fruits or vegetables
- 7. Search Tips • avoid using phrase searching until you understand the database • don’t do a subject search unless you know the subject headings • start with a single word keyword search and see how you need to narrow your search • decide which keywords are essential for your search string • don’t forget about plural, singular, spelling and other variations on your search terms
