SMART ENERGY. The fundamental role of the energy sector in the Smart City Con...rnogues
Because cities are major CO2 emitters especially in Europe, America and Asia, this session focuses on analyzing future challenges to improve energy efficiency in order to meet commitments acquired by the EU member states by 2020. Within this session will explore the latest projects being implemented for energy production using renewable energies, the development of new models for managing electrical networks and existing commitment to technologies reducing energy consumption in cities with the aim of reducing their environmental impact. Therefore, we propose the following objectives for the session:
Present new unconventional energy sources that are environmentally friendly .
Introduce projects of mass-manufactured electric vehicles, tailored to the needs of users living in cities.
Present developments in the field of smart grids and new energy storage possibilities.
Determine the impact of new energy technologies to installations in which are applied as well as to the economy of cities.
Explain the new regulations on energy both European and national levels.
It’s the age of getting smart or smarter. Technology has been seeping into every sphere of our lives in the past few years. After our phones and televisions have gotten smarter, it’s time to envisage our cities to become smarter. Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT) have a significant role to play in making our lives simpler by inter-connecting our scattered digital footprints to create an efficient and cohesive habitable unit for us. While the idea of a smart city has been floating around for some time now, its successful implementation needs to counter and conquer many roadblocks.

The talk commences with example startling data to seek audience attention & participation. Cities are a fulcrum of ever growing population migration, this presents various issues that must be faced promptly so as to allow the next generation an opportunity to define their own built environment (for living, working, and playing). The ecosystem of groups involved is presenting new opportunities for entrepreneurs and new partnerships. The talk ends with a brief look-back at the technology that has been developed over the last 50 years, before posing a set of new questions and opening for discussion.
Event Speakers:
- Hoare Lea (Huw Blackwell)- Sustainable Homes
- Arup (Duncan Wilson) - The future of the workplace
- IBM (Alexis Biller and Chris Phillips) - Smart Cities and Urban Informatics

Information & Communication Technology key to enable sustainable urbanizationEricsson
For the first time in human history more people live in cities than in rural areas. By 2050 it is expected that 7 out of 10 people will be urbanites, with the majority of growth occurring in cities of the Global South. A new report co-written with UN Habitat shows how technology can enable economically, socially and environmentally sustainable cities, with emphasis on solving the challenge of access to water.

Designing Digital Urban Interactions. Industry Landscape and Market AnalysisGianluca Zaffiro
Urban Interaction Design addresses the question of how we, as physical beings, will interact with the technologically augmented, data-rich urban environments that increasingly characterize cities. As an emergent field very little analysis has been conducted so far from the point of view of the Industry on this topic. In the present work we describe the Industry landscape, briefly introducing the current design approaches to the Smart Cities and discussing the need for a new wave. Moreover we present the results of a survey we conducted making direct contact to over 100 experts worldwide, aimed at assessing their opinion on the introduction of Interaction Design for innovating the urban context. The outcome represents the first to our knowledge market analysis of this field, covering challenges and opportunities, and describing the most successful best cases already drawing upon it.
Nowadays, when more than half of the world’s population lives in urban areas, when information and (mobile) communication technologies are real catalysts for innovations in all domains, there are a lot of studies and debates related to how our cities should become "Smart Cities", "Smarter Cities" or "Future Cities", in order to improve life quality and to reduce costs, to become a “Smart Learning City”. The paper reviews the definitions of the term "Smart City" and to the strategies required for such a transformation. The new citizens will have vital roles in building smart cities; they should be hyperconnected, creative, entrepreneurs, also they should actively participate and collaborate in the cities’ activities and decisions. Thus, the main purpose of this paper is to focus on how e-Learning, Social Media, OERs and MOOCs can support the citizens’ learning communities, as well as the development of new skills and competencies, proposing a framework for scenarios of Learning Communities in Smart Cities, starting from four Case Studies.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

ICT-Factors contributing to the Smart City Strategy
Guiding principles
1. Value is defined by the city stakeholders;
2. Technology and stakeholder groups are an entity;
technological solutions influence the stakeholders;
3. Isolated technical solutions are meaningless;
4. Interoperability is always beneficial;
5. Increased verified information leads to better decisions;
6. Intensity of ICT usage is inappropriate to predict the
contribution towards the Smart City goals

To consider
• Qualitative or quantitative model?
– What does a smartness value of „25“ express?
– Is a project of smartness value 10 only half as smart compared
to a project of smartness value 20?
– Who can reliably and mostly unbiased assess projects according
to their smartness?
• Use results for benchmarking?
• Integrate into planning process
– Make smartness contribution compulsory
for every new ICT project?
