The document discusses globalization and the World Trade Organization (WTO). It describes how globalization has increased integration between nations through reduced trade barriers and technological advances. While globalization has benefits like economic growth and development, it also has criticisms like widening inequality between rich and poor nations. The WTO, established in 1995, regulates international trade and seeks to reduce trade barriers through negotiations and dispute settlement. It has over 160 member countries and works to promote free trade through agreements and principles like most favored nation status.
This document discusses the science behind various common superstitions. It explains that while superstitions are beliefs about good or bad luck, science provides rational explanations. For example, throwing coins in water was thought to bring good luck, but copper coins contained a nutrient humans needed. Sleeping with one's head north was believed to invite ghosts, but is really due to differences between human and Earth's magnetic fields. Temple locations take advantage of places with high magnetic and electric wave activity. Solar eclipses were feared due to "bad rays", but really occur due to the moon's shadow. Overall, the document uses science to explain the reasoning behind popular superstitions.
The document discusses several examples of evidence for evolution through changes in organisms over time: fossils showing changes in ancient organisms; peppered moths changing color in response to environmental pollution; a lizard species developing two reproductive methods based on location; mussels evolving thicker shells to avoid being eaten by crabs; cave-dwelling crustaceans losing sight due to living in darkness; and bedbugs evolving thicker shells and nerves to resist pesticides.
Astronomy is the science that deals with celestial objects and the universe. It began when early humans observed the sky out of curiosity and tried to make sense of it. Over time, civilizations built observatories and astronomy grew into a formalized science. Major developments included Ptolemy's geocentric model, improvements to telescopes, and the theories of relativity and the Big Bang. Modern astronomy involves studying phenomena like black holes, the formation of galaxies and stars, and searching for a theory of everything.

Exploration involves discovering unknown things to expand knowledge and answer questions. Nomads in the past explored to find food and shelter, focusing on agriculture. Modern exploration aims to invent new technologies through space exploration and scientific research. Both risks and benefits are associated with exploration, such as potential life loss but also scientific and economic advancement. Exploration remains important for expanding understanding and problem solving.
These forests under the sea are some of the most beautiful places on the planet. Imagine flying, like a bird or butterfly, through a forest full of beautiful and fascinating residents with the sun’s rays filtering down through the canopy above. These ecosystems are not only beautiful and interesting, they are valuable to humans and they are valuable to the planet.
When viewed through the perspective of a city under the sea, kelp beds also offer insights about sustainability. Kelp plants are like buildings but very special buildings that are powered completely by solar energy and provide both food and shelter for residents. In this imaginary underwater city, there is recycling, public health, advertising and lots of other things familiar from our own communities. There are also lessons we can take from the kelp bed ecosystem to guide us in creating more sustainable communities on land.
This document describes a journey by astronauts to Planet Orion-023, located 1,344 light years from Earth. Upon arriving, the astronauts encounter the Alquillians, the intelligent inhabitants of the planet. The Alquillians have an advanced civilization and can communicate with the astronauts through physical contact. The planet has an unusual environment due to its three suns, with extreme temperatures and climates on either side. While the astronauts find the Alquillians and their world fascinating, the planet is deemed uninhabitable for humans due to the hazardous conditions. The astronauts thank the Alquillians for their hospitality and knowledge before departing to continue their exploration.
The document describes an outdoor education program called Ambassadors of the Environment that is held at El Capitan Ranch in central California. The program uses the metaphor of a "city under the sea" to teach students about the kelp forest ecosystem and the ecological roles of various organisms that live there. Students learn about how kelp provides structure and serves as a "solar power plant," and they encounter other inhabitants like fish, sea stars, and nudibranchs. The program teaches students four principles for sustainable living, including that everything runs on energy and there is no waste in nature. The goal is for students to understand nature's systems so they can make human communities more sustainable.
Mummification occurred both intentionally and accidentally across various regions of the world. In Egypt, embalmers developed an intricate process to mummify bodies so that the deceased could survive in the afterlife. Other cultures also practiced intentional mummification through methods like starvation. Nature also led to accidental mummification when people died in conditions like tar pits, volcanic eruptions, or freezing temperatures that preserved their bodies. Mummies have provided insights into past cultures and biology.
The document discusses the history and prevalence of mandalas across different cultures and disciplines. Mandalas are circular patterns that have been created for thousands of years and can be found from the microscopic level of atoms and cells, to the macro level of planets, galaxies, and beyond. Mandalas appear in nature, art, architecture, music, religion, and are a part of the human body and various living things. They represent the connection between the large-scale structures of the universe and its smallest components.
The document discusses how crystals can provide protection from electromagnetic frequencies (EMF). It explains that the human body operates at specific frequencies that can be disrupted by artificial EMF sources like technology. Certain crystals like black tourmaline, amethyst, fluorite, citrine, and malachite vibrate at frequencies that harmonize with the Earth's natural frequencies. Wearing or keeping these crystals nearby can help shield the body from technological EMF and allow it to heal by exchanging energy with the Earth. Crystals are also believed to generate electromagnetic fields of their own that protect the user from harmful energetic influences.
The document summarizes the ancient Egyptian practice of mummification. It describes the process the Egyptians used to preserve bodies after death, which involved removing internal organs, dehydrating the body with natron, and wrapping it in linen bandages. The purpose of mummification was to allow the soul to recognize and inhabit the preserved body for eternity.
CHMSC lab school grade 5 project in science photosynthesis and respirationRoshanne Danica Vergara
Plants that can produce energy from sunlight through photosynthesis are called photoautotrophs. The process of photosynthesis allows photoautotrophs to use carbon dioxide, water and light energy to produce oxygen and energy in the form of sugar. Not all plants can perform photosynthesis, as some plants called chemoautotrophs derive energy from inorganic compounds in the soil instead of sunlight. While the basic steps of photosynthesis were discovered in the 1600s, the full specifics of the process have yet to be fully understood.
The document discusses the Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis), noting that it is also called the greater one-horned rhinoceros or Asian one-horned rhinoceros. It belongs to the Rhinocerotidae family and is listed as a vulnerable species. It is primarily found in parts of northeastern India and protected areas of Nepal. Typically weighing between 1,600 to 3,500 kg, it is the fourth largest land animal. Historically, it ranged throughout the Indo-Gangetic Plain but hunting reduced its habitat, and today approximately 3,000 live in the wild, with 2,000 in India's Assam.
The Cause Of The Dinosaur Extinction EssayPatty Buckley
The document discusses three major theories for the extinction of dinosaurs: 1) A massive meteor impact that caused widespread environmental changes, 2) A series of volcanic eruptions that caused acid rain and blocked sunlight, and 3) Rapid climate change that dinosaurs could not adapt to. The most accepted theory is that around 65 million years ago, a large meteor hit Earth and launched debris that blocked the sun for years, cooling the planet and devastating the food chain that dinosaurs depended on.

The document summarizes key contributions and achievements of ancient and modern India across various fields:
- Ancient India made seminal contributions in fields of mathematics, astronomy, medicine including developing the number and zero system, calculating pi, developing surgery and medical texts like Ayurveda.
- Key scientists and scholars mentioned include Aryabhatta, Bhaskaracharya, Charaka, Sushruta, and Panini who made groundbreaking discoveries and formulations in their respective fields.
- Modern India has achieved prominence in fields of science, technology and space with notable scientists being C.V Raman, Homi Bhabha, Har Gobind Khorana, Subrahmanyan Chandrasek
The Special Creation Theory holds that God created the universe and all life directly, as described in the book of Genesis. It was widely accepted before the scientific era began challenging it with theories like evolution. While science developed alternative origin of life theories, some religious groups strongly defended creationism based on the Bible. Over time, compromises were made, like the idea that God used evolution as his method, but the debate between science and religion on this issue continues today.
The document discusses how life began on Earth, noting that evidence from fossil records shows the oldest fossils resembled one-celled organisms like bacteria. It describes early experiments by Francesco Redi and Lazaro Spallanzani that disproved the theory of spontaneous generation. The document also summarizes Alexander Oparin's hypothesis that simple organic molecules could have formed in the early atmosphere through energy from lightning and ultraviolet rays, which was supported by Stanley Miller's experiment simulating these conditions.
India has made many significant contributions to mathematics, science, and technology over the centuries. Some key contributions include:
1) Aryabhatta invented the number system with zero and made advances in algebra, trigonometry, and calculus.
2) Bhaskaracharya calculated the time taken for earth to orbit the sun centuries before Western astronomers.
3) Sushruta is considered the father of surgery, performing complicated procedures like cesareans and cataract surgery over 2,000 years ago.
4) Figures like Raman, Bose, Bhabha, Khorana, Sen, and Chandrasekhar have won Nobel Prizes for their revolutionary work
The document discusses the Ambassadors of the Environment program at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Grand Cayman. The program educates guests about the tropical ecosystems on the island, including coral reefs and mangrove forests, by fostering personal connections with nature through diving, snorkeling and learning experiences. It describes some of the educational activities, such as using a "city under the sea" metaphor to understand the ecological roles of reef creatures and learning about the four principles of sustainability from nature: everything runs on energy, there is no waste, biodiversity is good, and everything is connected.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
Current Ms word generated power point presentation covers major details about the micronuclei test. It's significance and assays to conduct it. It is used to detect the micronuclei formation inside the cells of nearly every multicellular organism. It's formation takes place during chromosomal sepration at metaphase.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young

In fact, the temple structure is built after the idol has been placed.
This *Moolasthanam* is where earth’s magnetic waves are found to
be maximum.
We know that there are some copper plates, inscribe
with Vedic scripts, buried beneath the Main Idol.
What are they really? The copper plate absorbs earth’s
magnetic waves and radiates it to the surroundings.
Thus a person regularly visiting a temple and walking
clockwise around the Main Idol receives the beamed
magnetic waves and his body absorbs it
Wearing gold jewls is suggested for women during festivals.
