SQLSaturday Paris 2014 - SharePoint – de la méfiance jusqu’à l’acceptation GUSS
Quand votre responsable annonce l’acquisition de SharePoint en tant que DBA le devoir de « configuration et installation » de SQL Server vous attend. Malgré que SharePoint soit l’outil de collaboration (ECM) le plus convoité de Microsoft la méfiance s’installe car vous avez peu ou pas de connaissance technique concernant SharePoint. Le contenu des sites de collaboration, sites publics ainsi de configuration est stocké dans SQL Server d’ou l’importance de ceci ! Dans cette session, nous allons explorer les tendances de SharePoint pour DBA. Pourquoi SharePoint aime faire les choses à sa manière? Que pouvez vous ne pas faire avec les bases de données de SharePoint? Quels sont les paramètres spécifiques de SharePoint à savoir et maitriser pour une utilisation optimale? Comment maintenir les bases de données SharePoint sans ruiner le soutien de Microsoft? Après la session vous aurez les bases fondamentales pour commencer n’importe quelle projet SharePoint en tant que DBA. Session présentée lors du SQLSaturday Paris 2014

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The simplified electron and muon model, Oscillating Spacetime: The Foundation...RitikBhardwaj56
Discover the Simplified Electron and Muon Model: A New Wave-Based Approach to Understanding Particles delves into a groundbreaking theory that presents electrons and muons as rotating soliton waves within oscillating spacetime. Geared towards students, researchers, and science buffs, this book breaks down complex ideas into simple explanations. It covers topics such as electron waves, temporal dynamics, and the implications of this model on particle physics. With clear illustrations and easy-to-follow explanations, readers will gain a new outlook on the universe's fundamental nature.
Thinking of getting a dog? Be aware that breeds like Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and German Shepherds can be loyal and dangerous. Proper training and socialization are crucial to preventing aggressive behaviors. Ensure safety by understanding their needs and always supervising interactions. Stay safe, and enjoy your furry friends!
