This paper has been awarded the prize of best paper at the Educational Technology World Conference (ETWC) 2016. The main aim of this study was to measure the impact of the support pre-service teachers receive on their knowledge for effective technology integration, namely technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). Specifically, we focused on the strategies included in the SQD (Synthesis of Qualitative Evidence) model: 1) using teacher educators as role models, 2) reflecting on the role of technology in education, 3) learning how to use technology by design, 4) collaboration with peers, 5) scaffolding authentic technology experiences, and 6) providing continuous feedback. In order to explore the relation between the perceived occurrences of the SQD-strategies and TPACK, survey data were collected from a sample of 688 final-year pre-service teachers in Belgium. In addition, a multiple case study was conducted in three teacher training institutions, including three focus group discussions with 19 pre-service teachers.
Teacher design teams can be an effective way to promote the (re)design of curriculum materials in the context of blended learning in higher education. In this workshop, participants (educators, department heads, researchers,…) are introduced to the four-step procedure to blended learning. This procedure was developed during a professional development project by a community of practitioners (see www.ictdesignteams.be for more information). The workshop consists of three parts: first a short introduction of the project and the ICT design teams; then TDT's will be formed (under the guidance of the workshop leaders). Each TDT redesigns a particular case of 'traditional' learning into a blended design. The workshop will end with a group-reflection on the four-step approach and working in TDT's. No prior experience is expected from the workshops participants. The workshop should be interesting for any stakeholder in higher education involved in the process of integrating blended learning into the curriculum.

TPACK integration in teacher education: A case study in educational institut...Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The aim of this study was to explore the ways in which teacher education institutions prepare pre-service teachers for integrating ICT in their classroom practice. Specifically, a multiplecase study was conducted to examine the ways in which the development of TechnologicalPedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) was promoted in the existing curriculum of threeteacher education institutions in Flanders. In the three cases, data were drawn from semi-structured interviews with the heads of the department and the ICT coordinators. Focus groupdiscussions collected the perspectives of pre-service teachers and teacher educators. Theresults indicate that 1) the three institutions are moving from ICT as a “stand-alone” coursetowards embedding ICT across the curriculum and 2) three approaches were adopted for developing pre-service teachers’ TPACK, each representing different ways of understandingthe place of ICT in the curriculum. The discussion will focus on the challenges andopportunities inherent in understanding how to develop pre-service teachers’ TPACK in thecurriculum of teacher education institutions.

Educational research and innovation:
the case of technology integration
I am currently working as a researcher at Ghent University (Belgium) where I have been member of the Department of Educational Studies since 2003. My research interests are in the field of instructional design and educational innovation. Most of my work focuses on ICT integration in teaching and learning processes and how this can be associated with teacher and school characteristics. This encompasses the idea that innovations should be situated within the wider
field of school improvement. In more recent work, I am especially interested in exploring the interplay between (ICT) innovations and professional development. Also in this area I investigate themes at the individual level, e.g. educational beliefs, and at school level, e.g. leadership. You can find more information on my Academia profile: http://ugent.academia.edu/JoTondeur
During the presentation I will focus on the multidimensional interaction of both teacher and school characteristics in developing a richer understanding of the complex process of technology use in education. Differential types of technology use will be considered and how they are related to variables such as teacher attitudes, educational beliefs, and school policies. Moreover I would also like to discuss the interplay between pre/in-service training and ICT-integration in education.

In this modern, age of society where everyone requires individual attention to his/her self in order to gain far more than publicly gather information. Internet becomes the part of life in these circumstances when technology is much more active than any other source of communication. People need to have all information regarding their field of interest at one place stop and this could only be possible because of internet. According to a research, students engage with a lot more new information's from various sources. Particularly, students are more independent in electronic based courses than traditional way of learning courses. Although the virtual source of teaching courses are not so effective because of student unable to pay attention being as in practical classrooms but students are still progressive.
This paper is depending on the effectiveness of e-learning system in the field of education. E-learning can be perceived as a computer-learning program in which students can be taught over computer. However, today the concept of e-learning has been totally changed, it is the collection of technological sources to provide the information you required within a very short period of time. What is good e-learning process? The components and the future perspective of the e-learning program will covered in this paper.

Growing the Knowledge Tree: Core concepts, methods, outcomes, and toolsLeonel Morgado
iLRN 2023 special session.
The Immersive Learning Knowledge Tree is a conceptual framework that supports a common understanding of the diverse field of immersive learning. The ILKT is based on 1) The premise of the importance of developing a common language; 2) The premise of the importance of not only using similar terminology as other researchers, but also having a deep understanding of how the methods researchers utilize in their own research are similar or different from those used by others; and 3) The premise of advancing the use of common theoretical approaches and models. Since its initial inception, the ILKT has developed core concepts, methods, outcomes, and tools/instruments. The ILKT also has significant plans for future development. This presentation will provide a brief overview of what the ILKT is, what has been done to develop it thus far, and what our plans are for the future.

O que são os ambientes imersivos? Como é que atualmente se tira partido dos ambientes imersivos de aprendizagem? Respondo a estas duas perguntas com resultados de um estudo de mapeamento da literatura, com usos, práticas e estratégias pedagógicas identificadas. São dados exemplos de como podemos usar esse conhecimento para refletir e planear o nosso uso de aprendizagem imersiva. Por fim, apresenta-se o desafio da sua integração nos processos de orquestração pedagógica e avaliação e a necessidade de novas plataformas tecnológicas de apoio aos docentes, como a arquitetura Inven!RA.

Empowering humans in immersive learning environmentsLeonel Morgado
Keynote at ACM IMX 2022, XR-WALC workshop. Abstract:
You dare plowing through immersive learning environments. The jungle surrounds you and entices you, but also hampers your progress. Suddenly, activities you deemed plain are out of reach, like practicing team sports, while exotic ones are readily available, like visiting the molecular structure of materials. Relentlessly, you plow on, trusting your trail of experience to support your safe return, but the jungle overgrows it rapidly: your plans meet unexpected circumstances, like connectivity issues, lack of situational awareness, or sheer inadequacy to new realities: why assess by quizzing or milestones when we are immersed in situational evidence, for instance?
In this talk, I will address two main questions and provide examples and pathways to address them, by sharing my previous efforts on this regard:
- How can immersive environments expand the range of educational dynamics and subjects that online learning can provide?
- How can we have widespread deployment of immersive environments?
Initially, I will present an overview on the multifaceted concept of immersion, a phenomenon emerging from the combination of presence within a system, and psychological absorption by narratives and agency. A panorama of current uses, practices, and strategies of immersive learning environments will be provided, and two approaches for the main questions will be provided: the concept and use of virtual choreographies for semantic-based deployment and recording of immersive content, and the Inven!RA architecture for mapping analytics from immersive environments to learning objectives in plans.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.
