William Faulkner fue un escritor estadounidense que nació en 1897 y falleció en 1962. Recibió varios premios importantes como el Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1949 y el Premio Pulitzer en 1955. Algunas de sus obras más destacadas incluyen El ruido y la furia, ¡Absalón, Absalón!, e Intruso en el polvo.
Global warming refers to an increase in the Earth's average surface air temperature caused by both natural and man-made factors. Natural causes include the release of methane from arctic areas, while man-made causes such as pollution are considered more damaging. The effects of global warming include melting polar ice caps, economic consequences, more extreme weather events, and spread of diseases. Solutions involve reducing pollution through transportation choices and energy efficiency. Global warming is evidenced by rising sea levels, melting glaciers, and dying animal populations.
The Philippines is an archipelago of over 7,100 islands located in Southeast Asia. The three main island groups are Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The Philippines has a tropical climate, volcanic terrain, and experiences frequent typhoons. Some key geographical features include the Philippines' 36,000 km of coastline, the Cagayan River as the longest river, and Mount Apo as the highest point at 2,954 meters. The country has 17 administrative regions and is divided into 81 provinces.
William Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi and based many of his characters on people from his hometown. He began writing as a hobby with no intention of making money from it. Faulkner wrote about the rural South during a time of change as the region dealt with the legacy of slavery. Some of his early accomplishments included serving in the Canadian and British air forces during World War I. Though he never finished college, Faulkner went on to become one of the greatest American novelists with works like The Sound and the Fury and As I Lay Dying. He pioneered modern writing techniques like nonlinear narratives and developing characters without dialogue.

He pioneered modern writing techniques like nonlinear narratives and developing characters without dialogue.
The document discusses how William Faulkner was influenced by Impressionist and Cubist painters such as Claude Monet and Paul Cézanne in his novel As I Lay Dying. Faulkner's novel uses multiple narrators to tell the story, similar to how Monet painted series focusing on the same subject. It suggests truth and perspective are subjective in both Faulkner's work and in Impressionist paintings.
As I Lay Dying is a 1930 novel by William Faulkner about a family's journey to bury their father according to his dying wish. It is told from the perspective of 15 different characters through stream-of-consciousness narration across 59 chapters. Considered one of Faulkner's greatest works, it explores themes of grief, family, and community in rural 1920s Mississippi. Faulkner was a major 20th century American author known for his experimental styles who received the 1949 Nobel Prize in Literature.
The document provides an overview of the narrative techniques used by William Faulkner in his novel "As I Lay Dying". It notes that the story uses multiple narratives from different characters to reveal different perspectives. Each character has a distinctive voice and thoughts are presented through monologues in italics. The characters observe each other through the perspectives of other characters, and the narratives should be interpreted as each character's interpretation of reality rather than objective facts.
Socio-economic impact of Big Data and Smart FarmingSjaak Wolfert
Big data and smart farming technologies have the potential to significantly impact socio-economic relationships in the agriculture industry. They may lead to either strongly integrated supply chains where farmers have limited freedom, or more open collaboration networks that empower farmers. In reality, the impact is likely to fall somewhere in between these scenarios. The technologies connect sensors on farms and equipment to analyze data and optimize operations. However, their adoption also raises issues around data ownership, privacy, and the balance of power between different players in the food chain. Infrastructure and software development will be key to addressing these challenges.
This document outlines a field study examining different types of scoring rubrics used by resource teachers to assess student learning. The study involves:
1) Researching literature on scoring rubrics.
2) Interviewing at least two resource teachers about their use of scoring rubrics and any difficulties encountered.
3) Analyzing how scoring rubrics benefit the teaching-learning process and relate to portfolio assessment.
Social studies school based assessment outlineDeighton Gooden
This document outlines the requirements and guidelines for a social studies school-based assessment (SBA). Students must conduct research on a topic related to their social studies course and document their findings in a report. The report must include 9 tasks: stating the research problem and questions, describing the methodology, presenting and analyzing collected data, stating findings, and providing recommendations. The SBA is worth 20% of the student's total marks. Strict guidelines are provided on formatting, structure, content, and deadlines to ensure a standardized evaluation process.
This document is a social studies research project submitted by Raheme Matthie to investigate unemployment in the George Mason Drive community. It includes an introduction outlining the topic, a statement of the problem, and reasons for selecting the topic. It then describes the methodology, which involved distributing questionnaires. The findings from analyzing the collected data show that most unemployed persons are males between 19-25 years old. It was found that the main causes of unemployment were a lack of education and skills training. The recommendations call for more educational and job opportunities to address unemployment in the community.
A portfolio is a collection of a student's work that shows their progress and achievements in one or more subject areas. It should include student-selected samples that show growth over time. Portfolios are used for assessment because they provide a more comprehensive view of a student's skills and learning compared to standardized tests. Performance-based assessment requires students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills by creating responses or products, rather than just selecting answers. Effective performance tasks clearly identify the intended learning outcomes and require students to apply their knowledge to realistic scenarios. Rubrics are scoring guides used to evaluate performance tasks based on multiple criteria rather than a single score or grade. They provide clear standards and feedback to improve student learning.
This document is a school-based assessment project on alcohol consumption among students ages 13-18 in Kingston, Jamaica. The student researcher conducted a survey of 30 students at Wolmer's Boys and Girls High School using a questionnaire to understand the extent of alcohol use and factors influencing consumption. Key findings included that 30% of students drank most at ages 15-16, 50% began drinking by personal choice, and 43% reported alcohol affected their behavior negatively. The researcher recommends educating parents on consequences of underage drinking, limiting youth access to parties promoting underage alcohol use, and enforcing strict rules for event promoters.

The study concluded that peer pressure and poverty were the two main causes of teenage pregnancy in the area. It provided recommendations such as increased parental guidance, sex education programs, and activities for teenagers.
This document discusses the importance and components of a Table of Specifications (TOS). It notes that a TOS is a two-way chart that describes the topics to be covered on a test and the number of items or points associated with each topic. It emphasizes that a TOS identifies the objectives and content to be measured, helps ensure a fair test, and should be developed before instruction begins. Using a TOS can improve the validity of teacher-made tests and thereby provide a more valid assessment of student achievement.
The document summarizes the new K-12 grading system implemented in the Philippines. It discusses that assessment is now integrated into daily classroom activities and includes both formative and summative evaluations. Grades are based on weighted scores from written work, performance tasks, and quarterly assessments. Students need a final grade of at least 75 in all subjects to promote to the next grade level, or they may need to take remedial classes. The goal is for assessment to enhance the teaching and learning process.

Sustainable tourism? Understanding the tourist market of two Italian Parks: ...Federica Montaguti
Tourists show a growing sensitiveness towards sustainability. However, several studies reveal a significant inconsistency between tourists’ attitude and their actual behaviour at destination.
This seems to be linked to the fact that tourism demand is studied mainly on the basis of intentions rather than on the real experience the tourists live during their holiday. This can bring to over evaluate the demand for sustainable experiences and so to mistakes in estimating demand for a sustainable tourist product, or planning the destination development.
Discussing the main findings of a research about tourism in two Italian Natural Parks, the paper aims at showing the effectiveness of an approach that doesn’t consider the “experience” as a way to add value to a product, but as the tourist product itself. This approach, focussing on actual behaviour and activities, allows to better identify tourism segments and assess which role sustainability plays in tourists’ experience.
Rural tourism provides an important opportunity for economic development and population retention in rural areas. The basic components of rural tourism include accommodation in rural housing or small hotels, cuisine based on local traditions, and leisure activities that showcase local culture and lifestyles. Rural tourism meets the demand for open spaces while responding to an interest in natural and rural heritage. When developed sustainably, it can improve living standards and quality of life for rural communities while preserving cultural traditions and the local environment.
Sustainable tourism aims to conserve the environment and benefit local communities. It involves planning tourism to minimize environmental impacts, respect local cultures, and ensure economic benefits are shared locally. In contrast, conventional tourism prioritizes profits without consideration for conservation or communities. Sustainable tourism is growing in popularity as tourists seek nature-based experiences, and it can generate income while preserving natural resources that tourism depends on if done properly to benefit both visitors and residents.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
